Chapter 508 Horror
The moonlight is cold, and the night is slightly fragrant. It is a God-given enjoyment to have such a cool and quiet night in the hot summer.
The princess of the crescent moon sat in front of the pure white landing window in Roman style, and her body was covered with silver moonlight. A vertical basket of chrome gold ivory played an ethereal and gentle music under the gentle fiddling of her fingers.
There was peace outside the window, and even the sound of frogs and insects was quiet a lot, as if these creatures were intoxicated by her music.
Wu Mei Niang sat on one side and looked at the princess of the crescent moon bathed in the moonlight. She had the illusion that she was both real and fantastic in a dream.
Even if she is a woman, Wu Mei Niang can't help admiring in her heart that this new moon princess really has a different kind of beauty.
In a word - quiet!
Quiet and elegant, quiet and perfect.
Wu Mei Niang couldn't help thinking of the demon. In terms of appearance and figure, the New Moon Princess is very similar to the demon. After getting along with each other for a short time, Wu Mei Niang felt more and more that the two of them were more similar in temperament, the same quiet and elegant, and the same gentle as water. There are too many similarities between a smile and a grin.
"Your Highness, may I take the liberty to ask a personal question?" Wu Mei Niang couldn't help saying.
The Princess of the Crescent stopped playing the song with a faint smile and said, "Please say it."
"I think the appearance of the princess is exactly like a real Han Chinese, and there is no Sogdian appearance at all. Excuse me..." Wu Mei Niang smiled with a little shame and said, "Excuse me, are you really a mixed-race descendant of Han and Sogdians?"
Princess Crescent seemed to expect that Wu Mei Niang would ask some questions. She smiled indifferently and did not answer immediately. After setting it up, she stood up, walked a few steps in the room with a long milky white skirt, and gently shook her head, "No."
Wu Mei Niang raised her eyebrows in a little surprise and looked at the Princess Crescent.
Princess Crescent also looked at her with complicated eyes. There seems to be a lot to say, but it seems to be quite scrupulous.
Wu Mei Niang, such a smart man, got up and closed the window, went outside the door to carefully observe a few times, and let his two maidservants go outside the door to control the wind, and then walked to the princess of the crescent moon and whispered, "The princess has something to say, you might as well say it clearly."
"Can you answer my two questions first?" Princess Crescent's expression was also a little solemn, and she asked seriously.
"Please say it!"
"Are you... really the wife of Wu Mei Niang, the young commander of Qin Mubai Qin in Kansai?"
"Yes!"
"How to prove it?"
Wu Mei Niang was stunned and asked, "How do you want me to prove it?"
"Unless you can really make Su Dingfang's army appear in Samu Jian, I will believe you!" Princess Crescent said.
Now it's Wu Mei Niang's turn to be surprised, "The princess wants General Su's army to come. What do you want?"
Princess Crescent turned around and her voice became a little cold. "If you can't do it, I won't say the rest to you!"
Wu Mei Niang gritted her teeth and walked around in front of her and said, "Your Highness, you should know that General Su is leading the army to attack the Beiting and the capital Gongyue City. This is a military event of the Tang Dynasty. If there is no good reason for him to transfer troops, even if General Su wants to help me, he can't afford this responsibility! - So, if you can give me a good reason first, I can definitely help you invite General Su's army to Samojian!"
Princess Crescent frowned slightly as if she was meditating. After a moment, she said, "I still can't believe you. Because I feel that I can't see through you at all. You are far smarter than ordinary people. If you are not careful, I'm afraid I'll be trapped by you! I can't afford such a joke!"
Wu Mei Niang's heart pounded.
Looking at the performance of Princess Crescent, it is obvious that she has a huge secret in her heart. And this secret is likely to lead to a big crisis, and this crisis is likely to be related to Qin Mubai and the Tang Dynasty!
"Is it feasible for me not to leave King Kang's Palace and always be with you?" Wu Mei Niang said, "I don't have the power to bind chickens, and I'm surrounded by weak women. I'm sure I can't escape if you don't let me go. If I cheated on you, you can kill me at any time!"
Princess Crescent was slightly surprised, "Are you really... Qin Mubai's wife, Wu Mei Niang?"
"It's true!" Wu Mei Niang said with a serious look, "Who is it wrong for me to pretend to be Wu Mei Niang? - In fact, I can completely leave tomorrow, and I won't get into any trouble. However, I saw that the princess looked very similar to an old friend of mine, so I felt that the princess was particularly kind! Please believe me, at least I mean no harm to you!"
Princess Crescent stared at Wu Mei Niang and nodded slowly. She still hesitated for a while before she said, "Actually... I'm a real Han Chinese!" And my adoptive father, Bale Rihan, one of the three ministers of Kangju Kingdom, is my father-killing enemy!"
"Ah?" Wu Mei Niang was shocked!
Princess Crescent frowned and whispered, "Actually, I didn't know this until two years ago. At that time, I had grown up, and Bale Rihan was going to marry me to King Kangju. You know, we Islamic women have been wearing veils since childhood, and their faces are not easy for outsiders to see. When I was baptized before the wedding, some female believers saw my face and inadvertently said, "Why do I look like a Sogdian at all, but like a pure Han Chinese?" ...At that time, I realized that I didn't look like my father at all! My mother died when I was very young. I went to ask my father, but he wouldn't say anything.
"Since then, have you doubted your life?" Wu Mei Niang asked.
"Yes..." Princess Crescent took a deep breath and continued, "But no one can give me an answer. Until a few days before the wedding, I went to the mosque to worship and met a... infidels from the Tang Dynasty.
"Infidels?" Wu Mei Niang was stunned at first, and then smiled and said, "Yes, Muslims regard people who do not believe in Allah as infidels."
"Well, he is a... Taoist priest." When Princess Crescent said this, her eyes bloomed with a strange look and said, "Speaking of him, I also have a lot to do with you. And... it also has a lot to do with your husband, Major General Qin.
"Oh, who is it?" Wu Mei Niang is quite curious.
"Yuan Tianang."
Wu Mei Niang was immediately surprised, "This person... is really unusual, um, very unusual! - He came to Kangguo to find you?"
"Yes, come to me on a special trip." Princess Crescent took another deep breath and said, "He told me a lot of things, including my background."
"Do you believe him?" Wu Mei Niang asked.
"I didn't believe it at first, but later I believed it." Princess Crescent said, "I bribed my adoptive father Bale Rihan's lover outside, got him drunk, and then asked him... As a result, what Bale Rihan said is exactly the same as Yuan Tiangan said!"
"What did they say?"
"So, I'm a real Han Chinese!" Speaking of this, Princess Crescent's face turned red with excitement and anger, and her voice trembled a little. She pulled Wu Meiniang to sit on the veil and whispered to her, "About 20 years ago, my father and mother came to the Western Regions to escape the war, and then lived in Kangjuguo. They gave birth to me and my twin sister. My father was good at business, and the family was very happy. When I was only more than a year old, Bale Rihan, the important minister of Kang, fell in love with my beautiful mother and used the power in his hand to expel my father from the country, and then occupied my mother and our sisters.
Wu Mei Niang's heart pounded when she heard it, and her heart said - "Twins? Isn't it..."
Princess Crescent continued, "My father resisted desperately, but he couldn't defeat the powerful force of Balehan to take back his mother. He only took back my sister... It was in that fight that my sister's eyes were blinded."
"Ah!" Wu Mei Niang exclaimed, "Your sister is not... a demon, is it?"
"That's her!" Princess Crescent couldn't help crying, "My seriously injured father fled to the east with his dying sister and met the Tang army that was resisting the Turkic Khan in Weishui at that time. One of the generals saved them. His name is...Qin Shubao!"
"Oh, my God! Is there really such a wonderful thing in the world? Wu Meiniang was extremely surprised and said, "The demon later worshipped my father-in-law as his godfather. Is it really a destiny in everything?"
Princess Crescent cried like rain and choked, "When Qin Shubao saved them, the Tang Dynasty and the Turks formed an alliance of Weishui Benqiao, and the Tang Dynasty withdrew Qin Engong and went with the army. At that time, my father didn't know the name of Duke Qin, and he never saw him again. Later, my father took my sister to live in Chang'an. Because my father is loyal and kind and knows how to manage, he recommended himself to Chang'an Wannian Office as a staff office, and gradually turned to the main department in a few years. Later, my father also married another concubine. In order not to affect the life of the demon, he deeply buried his previous hatred and blood debt in his heart and never told anyone.
"What happened later?" Listening to the story of Princess Crescent, Wu Meiniang is quite thrilling.
"After Bale Rihan occupied my mother, my mother would rather die than obey. Before long, she went on a hunger strike and died. Only me..." Princess Crescent cried and said, "Ballehan was very angry with jealousy. She wanted to kill me several times, but was saved by her wife. God bless that although Balarihan is a complete demon, her wife, who is also my adoptive mother, is really kind. Later, Balarihan kept sending people everywhere to inquire about my father's whereabouts, and finally let him find my father's trace in Chang'an. Then, he sent a killer..."
"It turned out that the demon's family was destroyed, and it was done by Balarihan!" Wu Mei Niang gritted her teeth with hatred and said angrly, "It's also pitiful! The house where the demon'er's family was killed was also burned into ashes by fire. This case once became an unsolved case in Chang'an, but Yao'er narrowly escaped! Later, the demons fell into the market and went to my restaurant to sell songs to make a living, and then met Mu Bai..."
Princess Crescent put her hands together and prayed devoutly, "My unfortunate sister! I've heard all about her story... She is happy! Because she not only repaid her kindness to my Murong family, but also died in the arms of her favorite man!"
"You... your surname is Murong?" Wu Mei Niang asked.
"Uh-huh..." Princess Crescent nodded gently and said, "My father fled to Kangguo and changed his surname to Kang. But our ancestors, whose surname is Murong, are the descendants of Emperor Murong Chui..."
Wu Mei Niang tightly grabbed Princess Crescent's hand and said softly, "Although the demon never said that she had a name and surname, I once happened to hear her say that her surname is Kang... It turns out that your family still has such a painful experience! Your Highness, the demon and I are like sisters, and they are also Mu Bai's adoptive sister and lifesaver. You are also my relative! If you need any help, just let me know!"
"I'm afraid that it's implicating you." Princess Crescent also clutched Wu Mei Niang's hand and said, "Yuan Tianguang told me that it is impossible for me to change my fate and revenge. Because I am doomed to live for seven years and then die of grief and anger. Unless...unless there is a demon star that can change my life to help me!"
"Have you lived for seven years and died of grief and anger? ..." Wu Mei Niang was stunned for a moment, "Yuan Tiangan, this big stick, still tells you this? It's a demon star again - I'm annoyed to hear it!"
"What's the matter..." Princess Crescent wondered.
"Don't believe in him, don't believe in fate, believe in yourself!" Wu Mei Niang raised her eyebrows and said sonorously, "This big magic stick can only confuse the public! When I was a child, he showed me his appearance and said that I was the emperor's appearance. It was really ridiculous! In addition, that is, he and Li Chunfeng said that Mu Bai is a demon star. If his closest relatives and loved ones block the disaster for him, the demon star can break through the shell and fly to the sky - a good and bad spirit! I didn't become an emperor, but my father-in-law and demon died!"
Princess Crescent blinked her eyes a little awkwardly and muttered, "But... he has no reason to lie to me thousands of miles away, right?"
"Bear by the way, I forgot to ask why he came to you and told you this?"
"He didn't say..." Princess Crescent shook her head confusedly, "I'm also very curious. Why did he do this for me? After repeated questioning, he only said... Our Murong family has a deep relationship with him."
"Is it a deep origin? ..." Wu Meiniang pondered for a moment and nodded and said, "Next time I see him, I have to ask him clearly. I hate him for pretending to be mysterious in front of people. If he doesn't say it, I will burn his Taoist temple and pull out his beard!"
"Ha ha!" The Princess of the New Moon was amused and laughed.
"Princess, don't be sad, and don't worry." Wu Meiniang said, "I really didn't expect to meet the demon's sister in Kangguo. The first time I saw you, I was scared and thought it was the rebirth of the demon!"
Princess Crescent nodded and smiled, "At that time, you screamed 'demon' in a low voice, and I knew your true identity. In fact, you will come to Kangguo today, which is also expected by Yuan Tiankang. As early as more than three months ago, Yuan Tiangan told me that in the next few days, I would meet a nobleman from the Tang Dynasty, who was also an old friend who was quite related to me. I guess that's what he said!"
"Is this big stick, is he also in Kangju country now?" Wu Mei Niang couldn't laugh or cry. She sighed and said, "Let's not mention him first!" - Let's talk about the situation first. What's the reason why you asked me to invite Su Dingfang's army?
Princess Crescent's expression suddenly became solemn and said in a low voice, "Not long after the Great Food Kingdom conquered the Sassanid Dynasty (Persia), coveted our nine surnames of Zhaowu, especially the wealth of Kang, and wanted to invade the Western Regions. Their great marshal Nuerman has sent three envoys to Kangguo to ask Kangguo to alliate with them. First, he fought against the Northern Court of the Western Turks. Then the Northern Court was defeated by Su Dingfang. Nullman and Beiting sent messengers to Kangguo to call on the nine states of Zhaowu to rise up against the Tang Dynasty! - Now, Nuerman will defeat him. The 300,000 troops of the Shan Dynasty have been transferred to the west bank of the Amu Darya. As long as the king of Kangguo agrees to the alliance to open the border, Nuerman will lead his army into the Western Regions and launch an attack on Su Dingfang!"
"Oh, my God! ..." Wu Mei Niang's face suddenly turned a little pale. "Did the king agree?"
"Not yet." Princess Crescent shook her head, "Although the king is very old, he is not confused. He knew that those Arabs who believed in Allah were not good people. However, Kang people have never been good at diplomacy and war, and the old king Hayamano is also a little cowardly and dares not offend the Arabs and people in the Northern Court, so he has been in a stalemate.
"Fortunately, I haven't agreed yet! If the border is opened to allow Nuerman's army to enter Kangguo, then it is to lead the wolf into the house!" Wu Meiniang was shocked and said, "Among the thirty-six tactics of Sun Tzu's art of war, there is one called 'false way to destroy the dragonfly'. If Nuerman is allowed to lead the army into the Kang Kingdom, the first person to be attacked is not Su Dingfang, but the Kangju Kingdom!" - Nuerman's sinister intentions are he is here to rob the wealth of the Jiuxing Kingdom of Zhaowu and conquer the people and land here!"
"Although I'm not a real Kangju person, I grew up here. Except for my father-killing enemy, Ballarihan, most of the people of Kangju are kind and innocent. Princess New Moon said urgently, "So - that's why I asked you to ask Su Dingfang to transfer troops!" I'm afraid that if it remains in a stalemate like this... it will make a change! In that case, disaster will really come! "
"What's going on? What's the change?" Wu Mei Niang asked.
Before the voice fell, a woman's scream of fear suddenly came from outside the door, and the door was also suddenly kicked open, and a team of armored sergeants with chicken crowns and big hats came in!
Princess Crescent's face suddenly turned earthy and trembled, "The accident... has happened!"
