Chapter 605: Ancient Forest Royal Court
Su Xueyi looked at Lu Yechen's expression seriously.
Seeing his expression change slightly, I understood who he must be thinking of.
Since Lu Yechen knew it, he naturally wouldn't hide it from Su Xueyi.
He said, "It reminds me of someone."
"There is a document in our Jinyiwei, I have read it."
"Have you heard of the Ancient Forest Court?"
Ancient Forest Royal Court?
This title made Su Xueyi's face change.
This is a mysterious ancient country.
This country is ruled and controlled by the royal court, and the highest ruler in the royal court is the king.
"Could that purple eye be related to the Ancient Forest Royal Court?"
The Ancient Forest Royal Court, as the name suggests, is located across the Gobi Desert in the northwest of the Great Yan Dynasty and across a vast grassland, which is the most lush forest in the north.
The trees in that forest are so tall that it is easy for ordinary people to get lost if they enter.
The people of the Ancient Forest Royal Court lived there.
The royal court is in the kingdom.
The people of this country believe in gods and believe that their king is a god.
It is equivalent to a country of faith.
The king has supreme rule.
"Yes, about seventeen or eighteen years ago, the queen of the royal court gave birth to a prince. When the whole country should have been celebrating, everyone discovered that the prince's eyes were purple."
"The Imperial Master of the Imperial Master Hall said that this prince is a demon who specifically wants to harm the Gulin Royal Court."
"Because of this claim, an unprecedented war broke out in the Gulin Royal Court. The princess and the prince were burned to death, and a new ruler ascended the throne."
"Later, the Gulin Royal Court was plagued by constant wars, so the price of spices has become increasingly expensive over the years."
"When the ancient forest court was peaceful, the people didn't have to worry about anything else. They just needed to pick various spices and arrange for people to sell them to caravans in exchange for porcelain, tea, and other things."
"The people of Gulin Royal Court are probably too busy taking care of themselves to collect spices anymore, so the remaining spices are becoming increasingly expensive."
Speaking of this, Lu Yechen sighed.
Su Xueyi's expression was icy. "I can only say that he was just a victim of the power struggle."
Lu Yechen nodded and said, "That's not the case. At that time, the people were instigated by those in power and they were afraid of evildoers."
"So they were burned to death. However, after the queen and the prince were burned to death, the Gulin Royal Court fell into chaos and constant war. I even heard that the weather there became even colder, and many people froze to death."
"When I was at the border before, I met someone who escaped from there. He said that they now know that the queen and the prince are good people, and it was their fault that they burned the queen and the prince to death."
"It's clear that even if the people of Gulin Royal Court wake up, it's useless. Their king and prince are already dead. The people in power are only concerned with their own pleasures and don't care about the lives of their people at all."
Lu Yechen now feels very sad that only civilians are hurt in the war.
"Now it's even harder for outsiders to enter the Gulin Royal Court. I heard the entrance is like a maze, and without someone from the Gulin Royal Court leading the way, you can't enter."
"Even if we enter, I heard it's fraught with danger."
Su Xueyi actually had some guesses about Xiao Lenghan's identity in her heart, and this would confirm Xiao Lenghan's identity.
That person might be the surviving prince.
Although it was announced that the queen and the prince were burned to death.
But if the king at that time had wanted to protect them, they would have survived.
…
This side of the restaurant
Su Ruoyun had no idea about this news.
She was busy making rice noodles in the small kitchen.
After the rice noodles are cooked, a rich aroma fills the kitchen.
Now Su Ruoyun’s favorite thing is to have dinner with Xiao Lenghan.
She felt very comfortable and relaxed when the two of them ate hot meals and talked together.
After Su Ruoyun finished her rice noodles, she looked at Xiao Lenghan's bowl and chopsticks, which had barely touched them, and asked, "What's wrong? Is it not to your taste?"
She remembered that Xiao Lenghan obviously liked to eat rice noodles.
Xiao Lenghan looked at Su Ruoyun's bright and clear eyes, and there were some words he couldn't say.
"Nothing special, the rice noodles are delicious and the soup is fresh too."
Xiao Lenghan lowered his head and ate quietly.
He was very elegant throughout his meal.
That is the elegance that permeates the bones.
Every move he makes can reveal his extraordinary identity.
Xiao Lenghan ate some rice noodles and his body warmed up.
After Su Ruoyun had a full meal and had nothing to do, she liked to talk to Xiao Lenghan.
"By the way, during the New Year, I'll talk to my uncle and aunt and take you to the prefect's house for dinner."
This is her friend, and her uncle and aunt should also welcome her.
Xiao Lenghan was silent for a moment and said, "I'm going somewhere."
Xiao Lenghan didn't dare to look at Su Ruoyun's expression when he spoke, for fear that Su Ruoyun would be sad.
During this period, he also got used to having her around. To him, Su Ruoyun was his savior and someone he held close to his heart.
But he couldn't say these words.
Because his revenge has not yet been taken.
He thought he would never go back.
But in the restaurant, he met his uncle's people.
He didn't want to go back, but the royal court was in chaos and his enemies occupied the court, so he had to kill them with his own hands.
He didn't want to implicate Su Ruoyun.
Su Ruoyun's eyes reddened, "Then can you take me with you? Maybe I can help you."
Su Ruoyun looks careless, but she is actually very thoughtful.
In fact, during this period of time, she could see that Xiao Lenghan must be worried. The words he occasionally revealed let her know that he might have a strange life experience.
Also, a few people came to the restaurant in the past few days.
Although those people were dressed the same as the people here, their appearance and tone of voice were different.
These people treated Xiao Lenghan with some respect.
Moreover, Xiao Lenghan rarely went to the second floor of the restaurant to help, but when those people came, he would personally deliver the food to the private room.
She knew it, but she believed Xiao Lenghan.
So if he didn't say anything, she would pretend not to know.
"I……"
Xiao Lenghan was afraid of dragging Su Ruoyun into danger.
He couldn't bear to see her get hurt in the slightest, and even more so, couldn't bear to see her sad.
Xiao Lenghan felt a pang of pain in his heart when he heard her low tone.
In his entire life, only Su Ruoyun saved his life sincerely and without any ulterior motive, and took care of him and believed in him without any ulterior motive.
Su Ruoyun said, "You promised not to lie to me before. You should at least tell me what happened. Otherwise, I will keep guessing and wondering, and I might not be able to sleep well."
Xiao Lenghan was silent for a while, then he said coldly, "Do you know the Gulin Royal Court?"
Xiao Lenghan was thinking that if he didn't know, he would talk to Su Ruoyun about it.
He knew that Su Ruoyun was not a girl raised in seclusion. She was knowledgeable, insightful and intelligent.
Su Ruoyun's expression changed as she said, "I know that the Gulin Royal Court is rich in spices and can be called the Spice Kingdom. The king of the royal court rules the entire Gulin Royal Court. However, I heard in recent years that the Gulin Royal Court may no longer exist."
At this point, Su Ruoyun suddenly understood something, "You...you can't be from the Gulin Royal Court?"
This is so magical and mysterious!
It is a very mysterious country.
She had read books and also heard some stories from her third aunt.
She naturally knew about the Ancient Forest Royal Court.
Although Xiao Lenghan knew that Su Ruoyun was smart and knowledgeable, he was still surprised when Su Ruoyun really knew about the Gulin Royal Court.
Xiao Lenghan promised not to lie to Su Ruoyun, so naturally he didn't lie.
Xiao Lenghan nodded and said, "Yes, I am from the Gulin Royal Court, and my surname is Gu."
Su Ruoyun was shocked. "Are you Wang Ting's bloodline?"
Just like the royal bloodline of their country.
In the Gulin Royal Court, only true royals can have the surname Gu.
It turns out that Xiao Lenghan is not Xiao Lenghan, his name is Gu Lenghan.
Xiao Lenghan nodded and said, "I didn't lie to you when I said I was from the Jianghu. I was hunted and almost died, and then I was saved by the old leader of the assassins. That's why I stayed in the assassin sect. However, there are conflicts among the Jianghu sects."
"The Killer Sect felt that I had an unknown background and didn't allow me to join. However, the old sect leader taught me all his skills, and I became the Killer Sect's number one killer."
"But when I was on a mission, the old sect leader was killed, and the new sect leader took over and sent people to hunt me down, so I was injured and was saved by you."
"Before this, I lived in the Gulin Royal Court."
As for some details, Xiao Lenghan didn't know how to tell Su Ruoyun.
Looking at Xiao Lenghan's expression at this moment, Su Ruoyun couldn't help but feel sorry for him when she thought about how much he had experienced.
"I'll help you get revenge!"
Yes, Su Ruoyun wanted to help Xiao Lenghan get revenge.
This is the truest thought in her mind at the moment.
Fortunately, she has been learning skills from her third aunt.
She also practices martial arts every day, she also knows archery, and she also knows medical skills, etc.
Even though her strength is weak, she will help Xiao Lenghan.
Xiao Lenghan looked at Su Ruoyun's sincere expression and was deeply touched.
He finally reached out and touched Su Ruoyun's hair, "Silly, it will be very dangerous."
How could she be so stupid?
"I don't want you to get involved."
He was still afraid, afraid that she would get hurt.
Su Ruoyun said: "I am not afraid. If you are not a fish, how can you understand the joy of a fish?"
Moreover, she had always had a dream of being a martial artist, wanting to travel the world with a sword to save people.
I want to visit many places.
It’s just that Third Aunt and the others were worried about her traveling far away.
Now it should be okay for her to go out with Xiao Lenghan, no, Gu Lenghan.
Gu Lenghan couldn't refute what Su Ruoyun said.
Every time they talked, he couldn't win the argument with her.
He also knew that Su Ruoyun was stubborn, and if he didn't let her do something, she might do it herself.
He will be very conflicted right now.
But Su Ruoyun looked determined.
This is what she wants to do.
Su Ruoyun wanted to ask her third aunt for a medicinal bath to strengthen her body. She wanted to improve her martial arts skills.
She knew that her third aunt had the prescription.
Because my third aunt had previously helped my uncle prescribe a medicine that could strengthen his body.
It’s just that the medicine can cause physical pain when it is being tempered, but after enduring the pain, the body will become very strong.
Also, she should take some spare medicines that she prepared when she was free, as they might come in handy.
Su Ruoyun was already thinking about how to help Shanggu Lenghan.
"Ruoyun, I..."
Gu Lenghan looked at Su Ruoyun deeply. He actually wanted to go back for one reason, one reason being revenge, and the other because he knew that Su Ruoyun had a noble status in the Great Yan Dynasty. Only if he went back and became king would he be qualified to be with Su Ruoyun with dignity and get the support of Lord Su and the Princess.
Yes, he now knew that the princess was the daughter of Princess Yan Ning and Marquis Xiao.
Su Ruoyun's status is also extremely noble.
