Silent Lover 2 (Tanhua) - Chap 68
Chapter 68
Jun Qiyu was so surprised that he remembered the surname Wang of Yili Kingdom.
When Jun Qiyu was in command back then, with Song Qing’s assistance, he occupied Yili Country in less than three months. The surname of this remote little king’s family only stayed in his heart for a year or two before he forgot it.
Jun Qiyu didn’t have the habit of remembering the names of his defeated generals, and he didn’t even ask Hu Nuer’s real name.
“How do you know…”
Song Liqing revealed his identity, but the bandit leader couldn’t believe it.
“How could my brother tell you his name? It’s impossible for him to tell you his name…you are his enemy!”
Song Liqing didn’t say any more, he coughed continuously.
The bandit leader was not reconciled, and shouted: “Say it! My brother won’t tell the enemy about him!”
“Noisy, saving your life is already a favor.”
Jun Qiyu thought he was noisy, so he tied his hands to the saddle, and rode on to the other side of the lake.
The entire surface of the lake is covered with ice, and there are many blue water bubbles frozen under the surface of the lake. Sometimes you can even see one or two wild birds that were frozen into ice sculptures before they could fly south.
It took some time to cross the wide lake, at the end of which there was a warm spring filled with mist.
It is said to be a warm spring, but it is actually just an underground active spring. In the ice and snow, it looks much warmer. The water vapor is transpiring and hazy, making the surroundings of the warm spring dreamlike. There are two swans in the warm spring, one white and one black. lingering.
“Liqing, it’s a pity you can’t see it, this place is much better than Tiangong.”
Song Liqing felt the warm water vapor, and the coldness seemed to have been driven away.
“Such a nice place…then let’s stay here today.”
“No.” Jun Qiyu insisted, “Sacred Mountain is right in front of us, and there will definitely be another blood cistanche. We can’t waste time.”
Song Liqing chuckled and asked, “Why must it be?”
“Because… because it is a sacred mountain.”
Jun Qiyu knew that this statement was unreliable, but now he needed a spiritual support.
“They regard it as the sacred mountain because it is very effective. As long as I am sincere, the sacred mountain will definitely fulfill my wish.”
Song Liqing lowered his head and said softly: “This place is very warm, can we stay for a day?”
Jun Qiyu couldn’t resist him, so she could only follow his wishes, so she found a shelter from the wind and set up a simple camp.
After he built a bonfire, the two of them cuddled together to keep warm. Jun Qiyu warmed her hands and held Song Liqing’s hands and rubbed them, transferring the warmth to him.
“Do you feel better?” Jun Qiyu asked.
“Um.”
Jun Qiyu turned her head to look at Song Liqing, and suddenly found that his gloomy eyes became brighter, and his cheeks suddenly turned rosy, not at all as white as before.
“Liqing!” Jun Qiyu exclaimed in surprise, “Your complexion has changed for the better!”
“Yeah?”
Song Liqing touched the side of his face, he did feel a lot more energetic, before he was drowsy and sluggish, today he is not sleepy until now.
Jun Qiyu shouted happily: “I said that the holy mountain must be efficacious. You see, you don’t even need to eat cistanche. It’s just at the foot of the mountain, and it will protect us!”
“yes.”
Song Liqing had a magical feeling. He had never been to this place before, but he felt as if he had returned to his hometown in his previous life, without any fear of being in a strange environment.
Perhaps it was because Shenshan was really blessing him.
Or maybe it was because his biological mother also died in this lake.
“Liqing, sit here and don’t run around. I’ll fetch water and catch some more fish.”
Jun Qiyu has already whittled a wooden harpoon. In winter, Silimu Lake is frozen, and the fish gather in the warm spring, which is very easy to catch.
Song Liqing sat quietly, and the leader of the bandits who was tied up still did not give up.
“Hey, Crown Princess.” The bandit leader called him, “You and my brother are sworn enemies, right?”
Song Liqing tilted his head and said, “It’s okay.”
“Then why did he tell you his name? It really doesn’t make sense. He’s not a very trusted person, and he will never reveal it.”
The bandit leader was puzzled.
why?
Song Liqing thought, maybe it was the trust he gained from his compassion for Hu Nuer, or maybe Hu Nuer was lonely for so long and wanted to leave a name after his death, so he was willing to tell him.
Song Liqing asked, “Then what’s your name?”
“I……”
The bandit leader hesitated for a moment.
“Su Zhao,” he said, “is the name of the legendary guardian of the mountain.”
Song Liqing nodded.
“My brother believes in you, so I’m willing to tell you.”
When the Yili Kingdom was destroyed, Su Zhao and his brother Wang were separated during the war. Su Zhao was protected and escaped from birth, but later became homeless, so he could only grow up with his men near the desert. He hunted down bandits, robbed and killed passing caravans to make a living, and when he got news from his elder brother, he learned that his elder brother had been captured by Prince Jing, who was taken to Jingguo’s capital under the pseudonym Hu Nuer.
Su Zhao couldn’t communicate with Hu Nuer, so he could only inquire through the passing caravan. He knew that his elder brother had become a slave of Prince Jing, and that Prince Jing had married a concubine.
He once took a look at Jun Qiyu from afar, the person he hated to the core, and he has never forgotten the face of this enemy for so many years.
Su Zhao observed this strange concubine. He should be a person of noble status, but he doesn’t have the stinky airs of Jing Guo nobles.
look…
He is the most beautiful person Su Zhao has ever met.
But he was sickly, and he was too thin, so thin that he lost his appearance.
If he was healthy, what would he look like?
“Are you looking at me?” Song Liqing suddenly turned around and asked.
Su Zhao was shocked: “Aren’t you blind?”
“Felt it.”
Since you can’t see, your spiritual sense is more acute.
“You look very smart, and you can guess my identity even if you don’t understand the language.” Su Zhao asked curiously, “Then why did you marry that stupid prince who can only play tricks and kill people?”
Song Liqing was stopped by the question.
His feelings for Jun Qiyu are complicated.
“I don’t know the origin of love, but it goes deeper and deeper.”
“oh.”
Su Zhao blinked, half understanding.
Song Liqing coughed twice, and his face flushed abnormally.
“Are you sick?” Su Zhao asked bluntly.
“Yes.” Song Liqing smiled, “Should be dying soon.”
Su Zhao was surprised: “Then you are still so calm?”
“It’s better than dying.”
Song Liqing was suddenly in good spirits today, and his body also gained strength. He knew that this was not for the better, and it was probably a flashback from the rumors.
This is the last mercy of God.
Jun Qiyu came back from fetching water, and smoked and grilled the lake fish over the charcoal fire. This kind of cold water fish does not need to be seasoned and cooked, and the taste is very sweet. Song Liqing ate several pieces.
“Liqing, you should rest early.”
“I’m not tired.” Song Liqing said with bright eyes, “Jun Qiyu, let’s talk for a while.”
Jun Qiyu was flattered by his offer of such an invitation.
“good.”
Jun Qiyu’s throat was a little choked, it was so rare for Song Liqing to take the initiative to talk to him!
“Do you remember when we first met?”
Song Liqing asked casually, as if it was an ordinary chat.
“Of course I remember, it’s in the academy, on the first day of class, we are at the same table.” Jun Qiyu
Song Liqing denied him: “No, it was at your first birthday ceremony.”
“The birthday gift doesn’t count, we didn’t remember anything at that time.”
Jun Qiyu was too young at that time, so naturally she had no memory.
Song Liqing lowered his eyes and spoke softly.
“I remember.”
Jun Qiyu turned to look at him in surprise.
“You were only three years old at the time, how could you remember?”
“I don’t know either.” Song Liqing shrugged, “I don’t have any impression of anything before the age of five, but I still remember that day when I became a child of the Song family and saw a man in a bright yellow robe. Little brother, he crawled around on the ground, hugged whatever he caught, like a bandit, then hugged me and didn’t let go, gnawed on me, and finally wet my pants and wet my clothes gone.”
Jun Qiyu was described as a bit embarrassed when she was one year old.
“Father didn’t mention peeing my pants with me…” Jun Qiyu rubbed her nose.
“Take care of your reputation as a prince.” Song Liqing also found it funny, “So we met for the second time in the academy, and I recognized you right away.”
Jun Qiyu said regretfully: “Then you should tell me, why are you still afraid of me?”
“Who is not afraid of you with your teeth and claws?”
Song Liqing sat at the same table with him, and cried from time to time when he was frightened or bullied and wronged, but the tears never stopped.
“You were a jerk in the academy. You nicknamed all your classmates, even the old master. You called him Old Turtle because he was always slow. You even gave him laxatives to skip class. Playing. You bully men and women, and you have done evil things all over again. Fortunately, you still have your father to suppress you. If you are naughty, you will be beaten on the board. You know that you are shy, so you drag me to the toilet and let me put medicine on your ass. Ha ha……”
Speaking of childhood anecdotes, Song Liqing couldn’t help laughing out loud.
Jun Qiyu blushed when she heard that.
If Song Liqing hadn’t been in front of him, he would have become angry from embarrassment.
“Jun Qiyu, that was my happiest time.” Song Liqing said.
In Song Liqing’s light tone, it was a pity that things backfired, and it was a pity that things were wrong.
“It’s okay, Li Qing, I will treat you better in the future than when I was a child, and make up for your suffering these years.”
Song Liqing raised the corner of his mouth, Jun Qiyu’s mouth is not only capable of hurting people, but can also say such things.
“Jun Qiyu, after I die, what kind of princess will you marry?”
Jun Qiyu’s smile faded.
“Li Qing, I don’t allow you to ask such a question.”
“I mean if, you tell me, I want to hear it.” Song Liqing said.
“I won’t marry anyone!” Jun Qiyu said a little excitedly, “I won’t have any more concubines, you are my only one.”
“No, even if you don’t want to, your father will force you to marry one.” Song Liqing thought for a while and said, “Well, I allow you to remember me for a hundred days and nights, at most a year and a half. I forgot.”
