Chapter 1.2 - There Are Weapons in Panlong Mountain(2/2)

Chapter 1 – There Are Weapons in Panlong Mountain(2/2)

Renqiu City belongs to Mozhou. It was ceded to Daliao a year ago. Daliao army didn’t expect that the prince of Daqi didn’t flee to the territory of Daqi, but instead, flee to their land.

However, it was because the Liao people were in charge here that it became easy to enter the city but difficult to leave. Now, Li Jingnan’s only hope was that the secret guards who escaped from death could send the news to General Fu, who was stationed at the border.

If the news of him fails to spread…surely, it doesn’t mean that… he, the dignified prince, will be trapped here forever? How long will he stay trapped? Two months? Three months? … or a year?

Li Jingnan could not help but shudder in fear.

“Don’t let your imagination run wild. The more you fear it, the more likely it would come.” Hua Qingxue said faintly to the side.

Li Jingnan glared at Hua Qingxue angrily, “You woman! Even if your accent is strange, all you can talk about is some twisted logic!”

Hua Qingxue rubbed the clothes in her hand and said, “It’s not a twisted theory, it’s Murphy’s law, Edward Murphy’s famous judgment.”

“What does that mean?” Although Hua Qingxue always utters nonsense from her mouth, the child’s nature made Li Jingnan curious about these.

Hua Qingxue smiled casually, “In fact, there is no special meaning. This sentence is just to explain a phenomenon in life. For example, some things are always useless, but once you lose it, you often have to use it. Another example, the more you are afraid of what will happen, the more likely it will happen in your life … “

Li Jingnan didn’t make a sound on the bed-stove, he thought for a while and then said, “When I want to use something, there will be the palace maids and bodyguards to find it for me. However, once my father tested my knowledge of a book, and I only had one piece of an article to recite. I didn’t memorize it, but he chose that piece of material for me to recount. It’s a little bit the same as what you mean. “

After Li Jingnan finished speaking, it seemed that he had thought of something interesting again. His face showed the sweet smile of a child. “One time, my sister and I sneaked out of the palace to play in the street. We were worried about being recognized, but we thought it was impossible. After all, Shengjing city was so big, how could there be such a coincidence?… In the end, we met Third Royal Uncle in a shop… At the time, the Third Royal Uncle was so surprised that his eyes were about to fall out…Haha…”

Li Jingnan’s expression slowly relaxed as he laughed and smiled. He stared straight at Hua Qingxue’s hands and suddenly said, “Don’t wash them, your hands are going to rot, they are ugly…”

Hua Qingxue was shocked. She looked at her hands. Although the stove was burning, she had to wash several pots of clothes every day. Her hands were already red and swollen due to cold.

However, they were only red and swollen, don’t say they are ugly…

Hua Qingxue looked at Li Jingnan and thought that he was terrified of what was coming… It seems that he had heard of the terrible news outside today.

“What happened when you went out today? “Hua Qingxue asked him.

Li Jingnan’s little face tightened, and after a long time, he said: “…The bodies of the seventh and the thirteenth were hanged on the gate of the city.”

Hua Qingxue took in a breath of cold air.

“Sooner or later, they will find me … I will die … They will surely hang me up and hang me up there like them …” The eight-year-old child had only death-like despair on his face.

Hua Qingxue looked at Li Jingnan’s almost numb face, only to feel that her heart was about to be pulled out.

She went to take Li Jingnan to her arms and patted him on the back. “There is still sixteenth. Don’t you often show off to me? You said that although sixteenth is the youngest, he is the most intelligent one… As long as you send out the news of Renqiu City, someone will come to our rescue. “

Li Jingnan did not refute Hua Qingxue. He buried his entire head in Hua Qingxue’s arms. His voice choked: “I killed them… It is me who was so naive. The Panlong Mountain is so big. It’s not easy to find a weapon all over the hill… just under a dozen of them…. I killed them… “

His Royal Highness, who holds his own identity, has been trying to calm down for a long time. He was already panicking and afraid…. This was not a mistake. After all, he was just a child. Still, he has such a precious identity; even a teardrop dare not to fall, now finally venting his emotions, Hua Qingxue was relieved.

Hua Qingxue didn’t want him to continue thinking about those dead Dark Guards, so she led his thoughts elsewhere, and asked, “What kind of weapon is it? Are you sure it’s on Panlong Mountain?”

Li Jingnan shook his head in Hua Qingxue’s arms, his voice was dull, “I don’t know too much. It was… divined by Imperial Father before his illness. He said that there was a weapon hidden within Panlong Mountain, which is extremely powerful. It can be used as a weapon for the country. He also said that this weapon must not fall into the hands of the Liao people. He asked me to find it. “

Hua Qingxue was speechless. She would never have thought that the little prince fell into this plight just for divination? A prophecy?

However, she thought for a while, although the divination was not reliable, it saved her life by mistake. Speaking of it, she had to thank the emperor of Daqi. Otherwise, she would have frozen to death on the mountain.

Li Jingnan suddenly looked up, two dark eyes were staring at Hua Qingxue, and half-dry tears were still on his face. “You must think I’m ridiculous, right?”

Hua Qingxue quickly shook her head.

Li Jingnan coldly snorted, clearly not believing her. “It’s normal if you don’t believe it. The Minister of Civil and Military of the whole court doesn’t believe Imperial Father the slightest. Even Imperial Mother said the inside of Imperial Father’s mind is filled with divination. He’s possessed… I once heard the ministers say if only Imperial Father wasn’t obsessed with these dissenting heretical cults, the three prefectures of Xi, He, and Mo also wouldn’t have ceded to Daliao.”

When Li Jingnan said this, his face was full of grief. “But that’s my Imperial Father. People all over the world don’t believe him, but I have faith in him! My Imperial Father said that Panlong Mountain has weapons, there must be! Panlong Mountain, the weapon of the country… I must find it!”
