Su Lingruo cursed in her heart that she was unlucky to meet this beautiful man here. She subconsciously bowed.
Nangong Moran saw that the smile on Su Lingruo's face disappeared when she saw him. She looked like she really didn't want to see him. He frowned slightly and then smiled again.
"Su Zhaoyi doesn't seem to want to see me.”
"The Virtuous King's ability to read people's expressions is really amazing.”In other words, she did not want to see him.
Xue Cheng panicked.
Nangong Moran was not only the prince of Mingsheng, but also a general with a large army in his hands. Her young miss, a little Zhaoyi who had been banished to the cold palace, dared to speak to him in such a tone. If he got angry, her young miss would be in trouble.
"Sage King, please forgive me, my young miss…"
Nangong Moran waved his hand.”
Xue Cheng was stunned.
Was Prince Xian planning to spend some time alone with her young miss?
"Why aren't you going down?"
Just like that, Xue Cheng was chased away by Nangong Moran. Su Lingruo stared at him.
"What is the Sage King planning to do? There are only the two of us here. If anyone sees this, won't I be charged with seducing you?”
Nangong Moran was wearing an ink-colored robe. His black hair was neatly combed into a bun on the top of his head. His hair was covered in an exquisite white jade crown. His delicate face was illuminated by the glow of the sunset, showing his perfect side profile.
He did not have the thick arms of ordinary generals, and his limbs were slender and well-proportioned. If one did not know that he was a general of Mingsheng, one would definitely mistake him for a private teacher in ancient times.
"There are many ways to frame you. I don't need to sacrifice my own reputation.”Nangong Moran simply felt that without Xue Cheng around, Su Ling would get along with him much more naturally.
Su Lingruo rolled her watery and deep eyes.
"That's true. Then what are you doing? Could it be that the Virtuous King has prostrated himself under my beauty and wants to go on a date with me?”
" Haha!" Nangong Moran laughed." To be honest, I really can't tell where Su Zhaoyi's beauty lies."”
Su Lingruo giggled,"I'm relieved that you're not Tu Se."”
"I suddenly want to tell Su Zhaoyi a story.”
Su Lingruo crossed her arms and sat down on a low branch."I'm bored, so tell me.”
Nangong Moran felt that Su Lingruo was very different from the rumored number one beauty of Yuehai Kingdom, who was known for her elegance and politeness. He became more and more curious about her.
" Three hundred years ago, the Yunfan Continent was ruled by the Overlord of Western Zhao. At that time, the people were in dire straits. The martial artists gathered together to write secret manuals and pass them on to the people in the market. They wanted to use their martial arts to make the people who had been enslaved have the ability to overthrow the Overlord of Western Zhao's rule and rebuild the empire, making the Yunfan Continent prosperous again.
"Unexpectedly, the secret manual fell into the hands of the various vassal states. The vassal states that had the secret manual rebelled, and the war quickly became heated. Finally, a hundred and fifty years ago, the Sima clan unified the world. The first generation sect master Shenyuan, who served in the court, was the prime minister. He told the emperor to search for the secret manual and not let it fall into the hands of others. The emperor realized the importance of the secret manual and the divine knife in the world, so he hid it in the Heavenly Jade Palace.”
Nangong Moran emphasized the words "Heavenly Jade Palace" and looked at Su Lingruo, who was listening attentively.
Seeing her calm expression, he thought to himself," Could it be that her motive was not the map of the Heavenly Jade Palace?
"Continue."
Nangong Moran nodded and continued talking about the Heavenly Jade Palace.""This Heavenly Jade Palace hides the secret of unifying the world. The Sima Clan, in consideration of the big picture, actually killed all fifty thousand laborers who built the palace.”
Hearing this, Su Lingruo couldn't help but gasp. She didn't interrupt Nangong Moran and let him continue.
"It was said that the Emperor had too much time to move the corpses, so he killed the fifty thousand laborers on the spot after the Heavenly Jade Palace was built and buried them hastily. Therefore, those who wanted to get the secret manual later on were all looking for the place with the heaviest stench of corpses.“
"After a hundred years, the corpses will rot and turn into nutrients for the soil. I reckon that the trees around the Heavenly Jade Palace will grow the most luxuriant.”
Su Lingruo, who had been a criminal police officer in her previous life, knew that corpses were the best nourishment. However, the nourishment made from 50,000 corpses was chilling to hear.
Nangong Moran noticed from the corner of his eye that Su Lingruo's face was a little pale. He quickly changed the topic and no longer mentioned the corpse.
"The first generation sect master Shenyuan loved to use hidden weapons and traps, so most of the traps in the Heavenly Jade Palace were created by him. Even if someone found the Heavenly Jade Palace, they would never return.”
Night was already hanging high in the sky. The moon hung high above their heads, illuminating the marble-paved walkway of the Imperial City. Oil paper lanterns were hung high in the Imperial City.
Su Lingruo took a deep breath when she heard Nangong Moran describe the Heavenly Jade Palace in such a suspenseful and terrifying manner.
"The Sima Clan fell into decline and the officials fought for hegemony. The various vassal states once again raised their sabers and swords. The Sword Pavilions faced each other, and the Heavenly Jade Palace's secret manuals became the first target for the Hundred Clans. However, no one knew the address of the Heavenly Jade Palace. The leader of the Divine Origin Sect had been killed, and the map to enter the palace had disappeared.”
Nangong Moran suddenly stopped in his tracks.
"May I ask if Su Zhaoyi wants the blueprint?”
Su Lingruo sighed at the tragic ending of the Sima Clan that had unified the continent with great difficulty. She thought about how the Qin Emperor and Han Wu of the Huaxia civilization had the same ending and crossed her arms.
"Everyone in the world wants to fight for the throne. I think it's better to be free every day. Besides, why would a weak woman like me want that thing?”
"Then does General want the blueprint?" Su Lingruo had already noticed Nangong Moran's probing question when she was a police officer, so she asked him back.
"Of course I want to. If I get the blueprint, I can get the secret manual. At that time, Ming Sheng Country will be the most powerful vassal state.”
Su Lingruo thought to herself, How could that lustful Nangong Mingye unify the world? She burst out laughing.
"Laughable?" Nangong Moran was baffled by Su Lingruo's actions and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Su Lingruo waved her hands." No, no, no. I saw the tip of the cicada's claw fall off. It's definitely not General Xiao's grand strategy."”He pointed at the tree opposite him.
Actually, there was no cicada. It was just to cover up the awkward situation.
At this moment, an attendant walked forward."Greetings, General Mo Ran and Su Zhaoyi.”As he spoke, he respectfully kowtowed. "General, the emperor has an edict to invite you to the royal study.”
" Yes, I know," Nangong Moran agreed in a low and hoarse voice.
After saying that, he turned his head and bid farewell to Su Lingruo before disappearing into the long corridor of the Imperial City.
Su Lingruo looked at the figure gradually disappearing into the night, then turned around and walked towards Xue Cheng, who had retreated far away.
"The night has been ruined by the Heavenly Jade Palace. Little Xue Cheng, let's go back.”
Xue Cheng didn't know what " messing up " meant, but she was curious why Nangong Moran and Su Lingruo were alone.
"Miss, I saw the Sage King's mouth moving from afar. What did he say to you?”
Su Lingruo said casually,"I just told a story."”# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:09120183:55AM
