Chapter 108: Two-pronged approach, waiting for the dust to settle...
Qin Yuqing didn't say anything. Although Lord Li was sincere in what he said, for her now, it was not something that could be confirmed by just a few words from someone else.
There was still a raging flame on the roof, and the flames shooting up into the sky illuminated the entire area.
Some people who did not know the truth looked at the flames rising into the sky, the soldiers lined up in an orderly manner with fresh wounds on their bodies, and finally looked at Lord Li who was kneeling on the ground with a look of pain on his face.
Looking at the scene before them, they knew that the person Lord Li was kneeling to was the Sixth Princess of the current dynasty. They didn't know what had happened, but they knew that Lord Li would never harm anyone.
"Your Highness the Sixth Princess, perhaps there is some misunderstanding here." An old woman stepped forward boldly, holding a cane in her trembling hands.
"Lord Li is definitely not an arsonist. Perhaps there is a misunderstanding."
Once someone spoke first, the people watching behind him also came forward, one after another, and kept pleading for Lord Li.
"Your Highness, the Sixth Princess, we know you are of noble status, and we are all familiar with Lord Li's character. Could you please condescend to listen to me?"
"Lord Li may have failed to provide adequate hospitality. All the food for today's banquet was prepared by us common people."
Listening to the people's words, Qin Yuqing chuckled. She suddenly became playful and half-knelt down to look at Lord Li on the ground, and asked in a low voice.
"Lord Li, look at the people around you. I'm afraid they don't know that they are all being used by you."
Upon hearing this, Lord Li lowered his eyes, concealing the emotions in them, his body trembling slightly: "I dare not."
"Don't dare?" Qin Yuqing picked up the long arrow on the ground and lifted Marquis Li's chin, forcing him to look at the people. "Is this what Marquis Li meant by 'don't dare'?"
"Ever since I appeared in the West, Lord Li has been expecting me to come and see you. Why is it that now that I'm here, Lord Li is acting like this?"
Li Muyan was standing not far away. For a moment he didn't react to what had happened. Everyone was talking and laughing not long ago, so why was there such a tense atmosphere now?
Lord Li saw that Qin Yuqing had seen through all his plans, so he stopped pretending and said, "Your Highness, the Sixth Princess, the current situation is turbulent. I dare not act rashly. I am forced to resort to this desperate measure."
Qin Yuqing sneered, put away the long arrow and said, "Let's go, Lord Li. Now that I have left according to your plan, can Lord Li trust the Sixth Princess now?"
Lord Li patted his sleeves and stood up, waving his hands at the people around him with an apologetic smile: "It's all a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding, let's disperse, let's disperse."
After hearing what Lord Li said, the people hesitated and finally dispersed slowly.
"Lord Li, please come in." Lu Jingchuan helped Qin Yuqing get into the carriage. Qin Yuqing lifted the carriage curtain and said, "It's getting late."
The carriage sped through the pitch-black night, and the flames from the burning restaurant were gradually swallowed up by the night sky until they disappeared.
And those people who behaved strangely and were possessed and controlled by snow maggots also disappeared in the restaurant.
Inside the carriage, Qin Yuqing watched Lu Jingchuan carefully bandaging her wound, and asked the question she had wanted to ask for a long time.
"Jingchuan, what is the relationship between Snow Maggot, Snow Lotus and me?"
The carriage fell into silence. Qin Yuqing reached out, gently hugged Lu Jingchuan's waist, and buried her head in Lu Jingchuan's broad chest muscles.
"Jingchuan, I know you can tell me now, don't hide it from me, okay?"
"I am powerful now and have the right to know everything. I can't be passive anymore."
Lu Jingchuan sighed, put the medicine and gauze in his hand aside, gently hugged Qin Yuqing, and responded to her uneasiness.
"There are some things I can't tell you yet." Lu Jingchuan's voice was hoarse, "But I will tell you what I can tell you."
Smelling the plum fragrance on Lu Jingchuan's body, Qin Yuqing subconsciously rubbed Lu Jingchuan's chest. She remembered that she also had such a plum fragrance when she was very young in modern times.
Whenever she was in danger, the fragrance of plum blossoms would always appear beside her without warning.
Unfortunately, Qin Yuqing was too young at that time and could not remember or feel the love contained in the fragrance of plum blossoms.
"You are the counterparts." This time Lu Jingchuan used the word "you", and Qin Yuqing reacted in just a moment, just as she had guessed.
"Qin Yuqing and I, the snow maggot and the snow lotus, the mountain god and the mountain god, are all corresponding entities, right?"
Lu Jingchuan rubbed Qin Yuqing's furry head: "Not entirely." His cold voice carried a hint of disgust this time.
"You and the twins, the mountain god and the mountain river, the snow maggots and the snow lotus are at best just supports."
Lu Jingchuan didn't point out who "you" were, but Qin Yuqing already knew who Lu Jingchuan was talking about.
"Between her and me, who is the older sister and who is the younger sister?" Qin Yuqing asked again.
Lu Jingchuan shook his head: "I don't know about this, she didn't explain it."
Qin Yuqing nodded in understanding. Through Lu Jingchuan's words and the man in black whom he met in Wuling City before, Qin Yuqing was completely certain of one thing.
The time and space of the book she traveled through are opposite to the time and space of the original book's plot, so the directional guardians in the two time and space are naturally opposite as well.
Her relationship with the heroine of the original book corresponds to that of Arhan's twins, but according to the above situation, the twins should exist in opposition to them.
But now it seems that the twins were not in opposition from the beginning. It was more like someone deliberately let Qin Yuqing meet them and rescue him.
Putting aside the twins, Qin Yuqing discovered that people or things that have opposing relationships can be explained by a pair of antonyms.
The snow lotus creates life, gives the snow mountain a mission, and can save people controlled by the snow maggots; while the snow maggots control and devour the bodies of mortals, turning them into zombies.
One is creation, the other is destruction.
The guardian god in the original book's plot was destroying this world, but the guardian god in the book world, at least from the perspective of the southern mountain god, was protecting and creating.
"Snow maggots, why are they attracted to my blood? And why do they die immediately after leaving my blood?" Qin Yuqing asked again, "I don't think it's just because the snow lotus and my blood have merged. It's not just because of activity. Besides, how did you know the term activity?"
"Lu Jingchuan, what did you do in other time and space?"
Lu Jingchuan fell silent again. Meeting Qin Yuqing's persistent gaze, he sighed and said, "I really can't hide it from you. Trust me, Ruan. I won't hurt you."
Qin Yuqing did not respond, but looked up at Lu Jingchuan silently, silently telling Lu Jingchuan her protest.
Lu Jingchuan sighed. He knew that A Ruan was the most stubborn and would not give up until she achieved her goal.
"I can't answer the last two questions right now," Lu Jingchuan said honestly, "Because you are the creator, and destruction is attracted to the beauty of creation, but because of the mutual repulsion, it cannot be preserved."
Qin Yuqing nodded and buried her head in Lu Jingchuan's chest again. Many things were slowly connected together. She recalled the inexplicable stuttering sound she had heard before.
Perhaps, Chen Cairen wanted to create something, but was discovered by Yu Bingyan, whose idea was destruction. After Yu Bingyan realized that he could not stop Chen Cairen, Yu Bingyan became crazy and wanted to destroy the world created by Chen Cairen.
But even if that were the case, what roles did the Chen and Baili families play in this? Why did they so willingly follow Chen Cairen's arrangements?
Fourth sister, I’m counting on you.
Qin Yuqing looked at the carriage that was getting closer and closer. This was the first time she took such a risk and trusted the fourth princess Qin Qinqin.
Northern part of Dayin.
Qin Qinqin held a spear in one hand and the reins in the other, riding on the horse with her back straight, looking at the people surrounding her with a defiant look.
"That's all? You're not even qualified to stop this princess!" The spear flew in Qin Qinqin's hand, provoking wave after wave of people. "Practice for a few more years!"
But the other party seemed tireless. Even if their shoulder blades were pierced, they climbed up again without feeling any pain at all.
“Fourth Princess, we are here to help you.” Shen Yanqing’s cool and sharp voice came, and along with Shen Yanqing’s voice came a flying sword, which directly pierced through the weirdo who tried to sneak attack Qin Qinqin from behind.
"Fourth Princess! Take this!" Park Qinghe came on horseback and threw a small bottle directly to Qin Qinqin.
Qin Qinqin grabbed it, opened it and poured it onto the ground. The fragrance of snow lotus mixed with the red liquid dripped onto the ground.
"careful."
The next moment, countless flaming arrows fell directly onto the red liquid, and flames shot up into the sky and burned in the west at the same time.
The man who had been behaving strangely, when he came into contact with the smell, excitement flashed across his numb face, and then he rushed towards the sea of fire like crazy.
The sound of children crying once again rang out in the sea of fire.
Lu Jiumu took the fire starter in his hand with a frown, waved his hand, and countless secret guards disappeared instantly.
Qin Qinqin turned over and dismounted, patted Shen Yanqing's shoulder, and said with relief: "Fortunately you came, otherwise I would have died here."
Shen Yanqing took out the ointment from her arms and handed it to Qin Qinqin. Looking at the bleeding wound on her body, she took a breath and said, “It was the Sixth Princess who calculated that the Fourth Princess was in danger.”
"But you're being too reckless!"
Qin Qinqin didn't act pretentiously. She took the medicine and applied it to the bleeding wound: "You are worthy of being the sixth sister. You can even think of this." After simply treating the wound, Qin Qinqin continued.
"Since you're here, it means you already know most of the truth. So I won't be polite with you."
The spear in Qin Qinqin's hand pointed directly to the farthest place in the north, and the sonorous and powerful sound echoed in the wilderness.
"Guardian of the North, this princess is here to meet you!"
Shen Yanqing moved quietly to Lu Jiu's side, bumped Lu Jiu with his shoulder, and asked with a smile: "Little Lu Jiu, why are you here too?"
"Why, are you willing to stay with me this time?"
Lu Jiu's ears turned red again. He moved away gentlemanly, not daring to look at Shen Yanqing. Instead, he looked at the fourth princess Qin Qinqin and said.
"The master has ordered that during this trip to the north, we will fight to the death to protect the Fourth Princess until she meets the Guardian of the North."
Qin Qinqin chuckled softly. She seemed to be in a good mood and laughed heartily, saying, "Sixth sister has revealed her trump card to me, her elder sister. If I don't do my best, I will be laughed at by my younger sister."
"Pu Qinghe." Qin Qinqin looked at Pu Qinghe, who had been standing at the end without saying a word. "I know you hold grudges against us, but things are different now."
"If you have any dissatisfaction, I will apologize to you after everything is settled."
"Okay?"
