Chapter 391
However, they would not take advantage of a few ordinary people. After Wen Yao personally selected three sets of clothes, Mo Dongliu left a hundred taels of silver notes.
The shopkeeper trembled and held the silver bill's subordinates, and for a moment he was a little unbelievable.
Wen Yao smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, we won't hurt you, but please find someone to help him clean it and write a shower."
That one hundred taels, let alone taking a bath, it would be enough to buy their store.
The shopkeeper saw that Wen Yao was pretty and spoke gently, and his fear was gradually suppressed. He nodded quickly and asked someone to invite Shangguan Longxia in carefully and clean up neatly.
Wen Yao and Mo Dongliu stood outside the yard and guarded. Not long after, Shangguan Longxia had already packed up and walked out of it under the guidance of a friend.
Wen Yao looked up and saw that the other person's hair had been washed and tied up with silver crowns. His beard was shaved cleanly. He changed into a gorgeous dress and looked like he had become a different person.
She was slightly surprised. Not only her, but even the guys in the shops where Shangguan Longxia had just seen him were stunned.
The shopkeeper said in a look of surprise: "This is..."
The guy who followed inside quickly said, "It's the guest just now."
The shopkeeper was stunned.
It’s really a person who relies on clothes and horses and saddles. He is obviously the same person, but just now he looked like a beggar, but when he suddenly comes out, he seems to have become a nobleman who is superior.
Especially the face, with a handsome facial features. Although he is over forty years old, he can't see any aging, which adds a special charm that mature men exudes.
The eyebrows and eyes are delicate, the bridge of the nose is straight, and the corners of the mouth are slightly cold and tightly pursed. Even if you stand beside Mo Dongliu and Wen Yao, you will not look inferior at all.
Wen Yao finally looked at his biological father in his body. Although he was a little prepared, he was also a little surprised at this time.
No wonder she has such a good appearance. Her parents' genes really have a great advantage.
Mo Dongliu was not surprised for too long, so he stepped forward and bowed to Shangguan Longxiao.
"Mr. Long plans to follow us all the time?"
After all, those before were misunderstandings. There were no life-and-death enemies between them. They were not as skilled as humans when they could not beat them just now. Mo Dongliu was not as petty as he was.
Shangguan Longxiao's eyes were always staring at Wen Yao: "Yes."
He paused, walked to Wen Yao for a moment of silence, and looked at her face carefully, wanting to reach out to touch her.
Wen Yao took a step back.
"Mr. Long, I want to ask you some questions, but I don't know if Fang is not convenient to speak with one step."
The shopkeeper was very sensible: "Come with me, the backyard is absolutely quiet, no one dares to eavesdrop."
Shangguan Longxiao nodded with his hands behind his back, followed Wen Yao and Mo Dongliu to an empty and deserted place, where the view here is better, making it easier to talk about important matters.
She said, "Mr. Long, can't remember anything?"
Shangguan Longxiao nodded, but he was still holding the small sword tightly in his hand.
His voice was a little hoarse: "I still have some impression of this thing, and the words on it were engraved by me."
Wen Yao stared at his face and sighed slightly.
"Do you know what happened to you, why you lost your memory, and where did you go after you wake up?"
When Shangguan Longxia heard a series of questions from Wen Yao, he had no intention of hiding them.
Over the years, he has always wanted to regain his past memories, but he has not succeeded.
He lived in seclusion here, living in front of the world without competing with the world, but he also lost the meaning of continuing to survive.
"I can't remember anything before. The reason why I woke up was to be saved."
"who?"
Wen Yao opened his eyes wide and stared at him curiously.
Shangguan Longxiao pondered: "Empress Tianheng, Bai Zhaorong."
No one has ever heard of this name, after all, that person is considered to be superior.
"Queen Zhaorong of Tianheng?"
Mo Dongliu had a little impression, and he whispered: "That queen should be the real ruler of Rutian Heng."
Shangguan Longxia nodded: "If Emperor Heng is sick and has been neglected for a long time, the rest of the princes and daughters are eyeing the throne, and the previous dynasties in the harem are all supported by this woman."
Wen Yao admired such a powerful woman. Tianheng is different from Xixia. It is vast and has a large population. It has more than one million soldiers and generals alone. It also manages many small countries. If you don’t have any thoughts, you may be the powers in the court.
The ministers who are in power can swallow them in one bite.
"How did she get you old?"
Wen Yao was even more surprised. That woman should have been in Tianheng Palace all the time, how could she have the chance to meet Shangguan Longxia?
Shangguan Longxiao lowered his eyes: "I don't know. I opened my eyes and was in Tianheng Palace. She even took care of me personally. Because of this, I would agree to the second princess."
However, after only agreeing to this one, he almost regretted it for life.
"I think the queen has ulterior motives. How could the emperor allow her to bring a man into the palace privately?"
Shangguan Longxiao said, "The emperor is powerless to the government. All the people in the palace respect the queen. No one dares to say bad things about her. Moreover, after I woke up, the other party did not threaten me to do anything.
It's okay if I want to leave anytime."
So that's it, no wonder Shangguan Longxia had no doubts about Queen Zhaorong.
Wen Yao lowered his eyes and thought for a while, looked up at Mo Dongliu: "Prince, what do you think she means? And this time the second princess came to find Mr. Long, is it really the Empress Dowager's house.
Instruction?"
Mo Dongliu shook his head: "This depends on Mr. Long's meaning."
Shangguan Longxiao said: "If there were no tokens, I would never have helped her to do whatever she wanted."
This also confirmed Wen Yao's guess: "The queen should have this idea to save you."
Shangguan Longxiao frowned, and the figure in his eyes became deeper: "That should be true, and I cannot refuse her request."
Wen Yao breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that it was just a transaction. Since this was the case, it would be easy. The queen was not at ease to save people, and they didn’t have to have any psychological pressure.
"Then are you going to listen to her and kill me?"
Wen Yao suddenly asked, suffocating Shangguan Longxia's breath: "Of course not."
His hands trembled, and he felt endless fear in his heart.
If you really catch yourself off guard and kill your daughter, you will definitely be heartbroken when you wait for the day when he knows the truth.
This is not a deal at all, but a punishment for torture and punishment. If the queen knew the root of this matter...
Shangguan Longxiao took a slight breath of cold air, so it would be terrible.
Wen Yao smiled and said, "There is another last question. Do you believe what I said?"
Shangguan Longxiao fell silent. He lost his memory and of course he had a skeptical attitude towards anyone.
However, Wen Yao's words made him feel extremely trustworthy and felt that she was worthy of trust.
"I will find the evidence myself and find the truth. If you deceive me, you will die miserably."
Wen Yao spread his hands: "Then let's do it for the time being, Dongliu, I'm afraid we will return in vain this time."
Mo Dongliu also closed his eyes and was silent for a moment.
After all, the main purpose of their visit this time was to get the antidote from the second princess, but before the antidote was found, the second princess was already dead.
It is impossible for a dead person to speak, they can only go back temporarily and find a way.
"I hope there is any clue from Lu Qinghan."
Shangguan Longxiao saw the embarrassment on the faces of the two of them, and his expression changed slightly: "What are you here for?"
Wen Yao lowered his eyes: "What else can I do? I found out that the plagues that are spread all over the country are the cause of the Tianheng royal family. Have you not noticed that only Tianheng is still very calm and has not been eroded by the epidemic?"
The area here is not too far from Tianheng. Recently, many vendors have been fleeing to Tianheng cities, and everyone knows the news clearly.
Although Shangguan Longxiao often cannot go into seclusion, he still understands the news that everyone knows. He nodded slightly and his expression became solemn: "Is it really so serious?"
Wen Yao smiled helplessly: "Of course it's true. The antidote Chu Yujiao should know the prescription, but it's a pity..."
Shangguan Longxia's face also changed. He glanced at his hand and thought that he was too impulsive before and even caused a big disaster.
"If it really doesn't work, I will come out to help you find out the news. Chu Yujiao listened to Queen Zhaorong's words. At worst, I will rush to Tianheng Palace to get the antidote for you."
Wen Yao laughed at this, then shook his head: "That Chu Yujiao is Bai Zhaorong's daughter. If you kill her daughter, how will she treat you?"
This sentence made Shangguan Longxia unable to refute it.
After all, this fact is already in front of you. Bai Zhaorong not only won’t give them the antidote, but even regards them as mortal enemies because of Chu Yujiao’s death.
Killing a princess sounded too horrible. When the news reached Tianheng Palace, I am afraid that Empress Zhaorong's anger would definitely explode completely at that time.
The three of them fell silent, and the yard was quiet. Wen Yao and Mo Dongliu looked at each other for a moment, and they also felt that the troubles in the future were a bit tricky.
Wen Yao's throat rolled and swallowed, saying, "Dongliu, do you think that now that the plague is rampant, all the troops of the Northern Song Dynasty and the Western Xia are combined, can they withstand it?"
Mo Dongliu shook his head: "If the other party advances heavily, it should be impossible to withstand it."
There is no worries in Tianheng Kingdom, and the other party knows how to control the plague, so they will never be infected. In this way, the elderly, weak, sick and disabled people will be dead when they go to the battlefield. In addition, the attack on Nanyan consumes a special amount of money.
With more troops, the newly recruited soldiers have not been able to train and work hard, so it is difficult to bring them to the battlefield.
Wen Yao also frowned. As the lord of a country, some things are really troublesome to deal with.
