Chapter 626
The people are suffering from the severe drought in nanshaui country. Nangong Lin is so busy recently that he almost forgets to eat.
Yan Xiaoxi will send him food every day and stay for a while before leaving. She doesn't understand and doesn't want to participate in the affairs of the imperial court. All she can do is to accompany him silently. Nangong Lin said that looking at her, she will have constant strength with the source.
Three days later, the people who had previously sent Yan Xiaotian to Dongjing came back.
The carriage approached the palace.
Yan Xiaoxi received the news early in the morning and went to meet him in person.
No matter what, even if Yan Xiaoxi is not her biological father, she is still very grateful to him.
The maids of Hou Ye's house often say that she looks like Yan Xiaotian's wife. If they are not related by blood, it's really fate to look so like.
"Daddy." Yan Xiaoxi ran over and helped Yan Xiaotian.
"Xi'er, you look much better." Yan Xiaotian knows that Yan Xiaoxi has become the queen and wants to do his filial duty to take him over and take care of him. After all, dongjingguo is not safe. Dongyoujie will take him to threaten Nangong Lin.
"Let's go in and talk." there are many people at the gate of the palace. It's not a good place to talk.
"En." Yan Xiaotian glanced at Yan Xiaoxi and thought the expression on her face was very strange.
When they arrived at the palace where Yan Xiaoxi lived, they sat on stools respectively.
She poured a cup of tea for Yan Xiaotian and said, "Dad has worked hard all the way."
"Xi'er, do you have something to say to me?" Yan Xiaotian and Yan Xiaoxi don't spend much time together, but they can still see through the thoughts in her heart at a glance.
"Well, my daughter does have something to ask." Yan Xiaoxi didn't intend to beat around the bush.
"Go ahead." the serious expression on Yan Xiaoxi's face made Yan Xiaotian realize the seriousness of the matter.
Yan Xiaoxi wanted to stop talking, and finally said, "no matter what my father will think next, in Xi'er's heart, they are all my father, my beloved father, and my love for you will never change."
"What do you want to say?" Yan Xiaotian had a bad feeling in his heart.
I thought, does she know?
Yan Xiaoxi didn't show off and asked, "Dad, am I your own daughter?"
What should come will always come. Yan Xiaotian sighed, looked at Yan Xiaoxi with reluctant eyes and said, "you know?"
Yan Xiaoxi nodded and felt there was no need to hide him.
"Yes, you are not my own daughter." the reason why Yan Xiaoxi asked this question seems to know some clues. Now, I can't hide it.
One day she will know. There's nothing wrong with it.
"What are my mother and father?" Yan Xiaoxi then asked.
"Xi'er, what do you know?" Yan Xiaotian asked.
"I know I am the saint of Xianling Island, I know I am the daughter of xianmeier, and I and long chenxuan are father and daughter." yes, this is the only thing she knows.
"It seems that you only wanted to ask me after you found out. What do you want to know now?" Yan Xiaotian felt that he would tell her everything.
"Why was I adopted by my father and mother, and the whereabouts of my father and mother?" Yan Xiaoxi said his heart.
Yan Xiaotian sighed and said, "in fact, I haven't seen your parents. I don't know their life and death. As for why you were adopted, it's because my mother is long chenxuan's half sister and you are my niece."
"That's right." Yan Xiaoxi thought about countless possibilities, and the only thing he didn't think of was this.
"My wife and I have never been out. I raise you as my own daughter. Over time, I almost forget that you are not my own daughter." Yan Xiaotian said lost.
"Dad, come on, I just want to find out my identity. I don't mean to leave you. You are still my father and I am still your daughter." they must have feelings after being father and daughter for so many years.
"Xi'er is a sensible child." Yan Xiaoxi still remembers the meeting when his mother died. He really couldn't survive without Yan Xiaoxi's company.
Iron tenderness also has a fragile side.
"Dad, you must be tired. Let's go. I'll help you to have a rest."
"OK." Yan Xiaoxi prepared a comfortable palace for Yan Xiaotian and found a close maid to take care of him.
After several days of busy greening, nangonglin solved the problem of drought.
He found Yan Xiaoxi. He was very tired.
In order to discuss the appropriate method, he kept thinking about Countermeasures in the imperial study and the minister.
"Xiaolin." Yan Xiaoxi held his thick palm painfully.
"Xi'er, is Yan Xiaotian coming?" he kept it in his heart.
"Yes." Yan Xiaoxi explained the story to him.
"So it is." Nangong Lin nodded suddenly.
"Go and have a rest. The white hair is coming out." Yan Xiaoxi said jokingly.
"Dislike me? En?" Nangong Lin leaned his head against Yan Xiaoxi's thin shoulder.
"No, how dare." Yan Xiaoxi stuck out his tongue and looked at him with a smile.
"You stay with me."
"OK." Yan Xiaoxi agreed and felt that Nangong Lin's behavior sometimes was like killing a child.
Then, after Nangong Lin handled the matter at hand, the two took advantage of a few days to accompany Yan Xiaotian. They couldn't wait to embark on the treasure hunt. Speaking of it, the same road was the second time they walked together.
Cannibals, snakes, past scenes come to mind.
In the twinkling of an eye, nearly two years have passed.
After successfully passing the obstacle, they came to the stone gate of the treasure.
"Xi'er, it's the last step." Nangong Lin was excited.
"Yes." getting the elixir means making a difficult choice between the two.
Nangong Lin took out five colored beads and put them on the round pit corresponding to the stone gate. Each round pit is dotted with a flower, which corresponds to the color of the colored beads. When the last earth colored bead is put on it.
The stone gate opened with a bang.
Nangong Lin took Yan Xiaoxi's hand and went in.
What appeared in front of them was an endless river. The river was so calm, without any waves or ships.
Both sides of the wall are smooth and flat without any objects, and there is no trace of mechanism.
They looked at each other and knew that it was not so easy to get the elixir.
"Xi'er, do you think the mechanism here will be the same as the imperial mausoleum?" Nangong Lin is not as proficient as Yan Xiaoxi in the five elements and eight trigrams.
Yan Xiaoxi shook his head and said, "the design mechanism of the imperial mausoleum is to prevent outsiders from entering. However, people from the royal family will still enter. Therefore, if there is room, it is obvious that they don't want people to enter here, there is no clue to follow."
At a glance, there is a certain distance to the opposite side. Even if they can do lightness skills, they can't relay without items as a pillar point on the lake. It means that lightness skills can't help here.
However, there are no boats on the river.
"Can you swim?" Nangong Lin looked at Yan Xiaoxi and asked.
Can you swim there without a boat?
But is it really as simple as she thought?
Yan Xiaoxi nodded and said cautiously, "wait a minute first."
With that, she took off her belt, took off the hairpin on her head, tied the belt to the hairpin, stretched out her hand, the belt showed an arc like an arch bridge, and then entered the river. Then she pulled the hairpin up.
Move out the bottom of the hairpin to show Nangong Lin.
Nangong Lin's face sank and said, "it's poisonous."
"Yes, in my opinion, this poison will enter the blood with the skin and finally squeeze the whole person to death." Yan Xiaoxi wanted to try. Who knows, the river is so terrible.
"Then we can only find another way."
"Yes." it must not be possible to swim.
There are no wood and trees here to make boats.
"Why don't we go back and get a wooden boat in?" Nangong Lin suggested.
"No." Yan Xiaoxi refused.
"En?" Nangong Lin looked at her in surprise.
"I don't think I can leave here. Otherwise, the hundred elixir may be coveted by others. Treasure, dongyoujie and xiwenjian won't give up so easily. We have to go in before they notice." the poison on her body has reached the final stage. No matter what, we should keep Nangong Lin's life.
"That's reasonable." Nangong Lin nodded.
You can't leave. The way forward is blocked.
Isn't it a good idea for them to stand here?
The two stood side by side, speechless.
Yan Xiaoxi racked his brains thinking about ways to deal with it.
Nangong Lin looked at her sad face. She was very confused and had no idea. Suddenly, she had a flash in her mind. She remembered the scene she had just used a hairpin to test whether the river was poisonous. If she could cross the river with the help of foreign objects, she could still cross the river that was not very long.
"Xi'er, I have an idea." Nangong Lin was ready to say what he thought.
"What idea?" Yan Xiaoxi was shocked and looked at him happily.
"We can fix the coat with a hairpin as a guide, and then tie it with a belt to make two such things as pedals and use lightness skills to get through." these are his imagination for the time being. Whether these ideas can work depends on his practical actions.
"You are so clever." Yan Xiaoxi couldn't help praising.
Nangong Lin smiled happily and said, "I'll try first and pick you up when I come back."
"No." Yan Xiaoxi refused.
"Xi'er, be obedient."
"Either together, or I won't listen to you." Yan Xiaoxi looked at Nangong Lin stubbornly.
Every time she uses such firm and persistent eyes, she is determined to do one thing, and ten horses can't pull back.
"Just listen to you." Nangong Lin reluctantly compromised.
He really can't take her.
"Here, hairpin, belt." fortunately, she wears two hairpins on her head, which plays a key role.
Then, Nangong Lin made a useful tool according to what he wanted, threw it on the river, jumped up with lightness skills, caught it as a pedal and flew in front of it. Yan Xiaoxi threw another pedal in the seat Nangong Lin wanted to step on. The two cooperated with each other, tacitly and seamlessly.
In this way, they reached the other side smoothly and without danger.
Fortunately, the distance is not very far. Otherwise, when the clothes are completely soaked in water, they will sink, and they will be eroded by poisonous water.
