" Change
two horses for my carriage and prepare a driver." Luo Jin, just like in Dongyuan, did not consider herself an outsider at all.
The manager of the post station was stunned to see her dressed like a foreigner, "What did you say?"
"Horses and a driver." Luo Jin said, taking out the token.
When the steward saw the token, his face changed color and he knelt down immediately, "I didn't know your Excellency had arrived. I hope you will forgive me for not entertaining you well."
"You're welcome. Go and get the horses."
"Yes, I'll pick the fattest horses right away
." As the steward said this, he trotted to the stable and rushed directly to the two strongest horses in the innermost part, while calling to the coachman who was feeding the horses, "Go and accompany the girl outside. It's a great thing. Don't say I didn't take care of you."
"What?" The coachman was stunned for a moment, "How can doing work become a good thing?" "
That girl was holding His Majesty's token. Think about it, His Majesty never gives the token to anyone. She can get it. What does this mean?"
"Could she be..."
"Serve me well!"
"I'll go right away!"
Not long after, Luo Jin saw a young coachman leading two horses and walking out with a smile on his face.
The driver was quite sweet, "Madam... oh no, the girl is so beautiful, I have never seen anyone as beautiful as you!"
Luo Jin saw that the driver was young and strong, and he was sweet-mouthed, thinking that the token was indeed useful. He picked the best horses and drivers for her. At this rate, she could be one or two days faster.
The driver had been driving for most of the day, and Luo Jin asked him to go to the post station to change drivers. He was actually a little reluctant. He repeatedly said, "I can still drive for another half a day!"
Every driver she met along the way was like this. Unlike the drivers in Dongyuan who were eager to get off work and change drivers as soon as they arrived at the place, the drivers here insisted on taking her for one more stop, which made her deeply doubt whether Jiyuan was a workaholic. It was just work, so why was he so eager?
Ten days later, Luo Jin arrived at Yeyuan. She happened to have a token of Ye Yuan in her hand, so she repeated the same trick and went to the post station to ask for horses and drivers.
Ye Yuan and Ji Yuan had completely different attitudes. The drivers looked like workers and reluctantly pulled the horses and set off after seeing the token. Although some people were trying hard to catch the car on the road, they obviously looked unhappy, with a look on their faces saying "How could I be so unlucky to be chosen to work overtime".
Luo Jin could understand that people would not be happy when they were working, especially when they could have rested and suddenly had to work.
Before arriving at the palace, Luo Jin asked Xiao Lian to stay in the inn first, and she took a car to the palace.
She showed the token, but the palace guards said that they still needed to ask for permission before letting them go.
She was not in a hurry, so she waited there.
Soon, she saw Feng Lingruo coming out of the palace in person, followed by a tall and very conspicuous person.
It was He Xiao.
"You're here! I missed you so much!" Feng Lingruo walked up and hugged Luo Jin, "The war has been intense recently, and I thought I would go to Dongyuan to play with you after the war is over!" Luo
Jin took out Luo Xin's letter from his arms and said, "I found a letter written to you and sent it to you."
Feng Lingruo's face changed slightly, "You also..."
She looked at He Xiao.
Luo Jin nodded and said, "I just happened to get it. The letter said that General He would also receive the same letter. General He came for this, right?"
At this time, the war in Dongyuan was not going well. He Xiao could come to Yeyuan at this time, so there must be something important.
Feng Lingruo took the letter from her hand, opened it with a trembling hand, and found that half of the letter was burned when she opened it. She looked up at Luo Jin.
"I met the Emperor, and he didn't listen to reason and burned the letter." Luo Jin said, "But it shouldn't be a problem. Didn't General He also have a letter? I think the content is similar, right?"
Feng Lingruo was slightly startled, then nodded, "Yes, almost."
"Where's the letter? Can I see it?" Luo Jin asked.
Feng Lingruo smiled, "Okay... In my room, I'll get it. That... A Tao, you take them to have tea, I'll be there soon."
She said, turned around and left.
A palace maid came over and led Luo Jin and He Xiao to a side hall in the palace, brewed tea and served it.
After a while, Feng Lingruo came out with a letter in her hand and handed it to Luo Jin.
Luo Jin opened the letter and was stunned.
The letter Feng Lingruo gave her was also missing a part, even more than her previous one, even the "one" part was missing.
She turned her eyes to He Xiao who received the letter.
He Xiao glanced at the letter and said slowly: "The person who delivered the letter did not keep it well, and only half of it was left in my hands."
Feng Lingruo continued: "Yes, it's a good thing you brought this letter. Doesn't it say to get the Yuhuang Sword? I know where the underground palace is, I will take you there."
She clapped her hands, and two palace maids came forward, each holding a tray in their hands, holding a piece of clothing that looked very thick.
She explained, "It's very cold in the underground palace, you have to wear more clothes."
Luo Jin took her own clothes and felt inside. It was indeed very thick, with at least three layers of cotton sewn on the surface, bulging.
She went into the inner room to change her clothes and felt that her body was swollen.
He Xiao also changed his clothes. He was tall, so he didn't look particularly bloated, but Luo Jin looked in the mirror and felt that he was like a small cotton ball.
Feng Lingruo did not change her clothes. She smiled at Luo Jin and explained, "I'm used to it, I'm not afraid of the cold."
She said, "Let's go, I'll lead the way!"
She led the way in front, and Luo Jin and He Xiao followed behind her.
Feng Lingruo turned a few corners along a quiet path and finally stopped beside a stone sculpture in the back garden. She took out a key-like object from her pocket and inserted it into the ear of the stone sculpture.
The stone sculpture then moved aside, revealing a hole.
Feng Lingruo held a torch in one hand and took out a map from her pocket with the other.
"This is a map of the underground palace," Feng Lingruo said, "It shows the layout of the agency. With this map, you can go directly in. This underground palace was originally built for hiding during wartime, but it has been of little use in recent years."
With the map, it was very smooth to move forward.
Luo Jin walked out of several stone chambers and saw some moldy grains on the ground, which looked quite old.
Feng Lingruo took a look and covered her nose and said, "I'll ask someone to clean it up later. It smells so bad."
After walking out of several stone chambers, he saw a long sword placed in the middle of the room.
The style of the long sword was simple and inconspicuous. The only thing that was eye-catching was the red transparent gem on the hilt.
Feng Lingruo reached out and picked up the sword, holding the scabbard and pulling out the sword.
The sword suddenly emitted a little chill, and the firelight shone on the sword, giving it a layer of red, but not bringing it any warmth.
"Good sword!" He Xiao praised.
"Found it, let's go out." Feng Lingruo put away the sword, turned around and saw Luo Jin with his back to her, in a daze.
"Ah Jin, what are you daydreaming about?" Feng Lingruo came over and took Luo Jin's arm, "Let's go! It's very cold here. Come upstairs, I'll take you to warm up by the fire. Your hands are cold."
Luo Jin just sighed and said softly, "I thought you would attack me just now. If you had... I didn't plan to fight back. Although... although I'm still very scared in my heart."
She smiled bitterly and turned to Feng Lingruo, "But if you don't attack, I... will be in trouble."
Feng Lingruo was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "What are you talking about? Why should I attack you? Stop kidding..."
"No one has been to this underground palace for a long time. The part about the Emperor Sword in your letter was torn off. Logically, you didn't know to come to the underground palace to find the Emperor Sword." Luo Jin said.
Feng Lingruo smiled and said, "Isn't this what you said in your letter?"
Luo Jin shook his head and said, "No one has been to the underground palace for a long time, but you found the key and the map immediately. Isn't this strange? In fact, your letter is not missing, right?"
She said slowly, "Second... it's the Red Emperor Dragon, right?"
Feng Lingruo finally couldn't laugh anymore. She took a deep breath and nodded, "That's what the letter says, but we always have other ways. "
She looked at Luo Jin, "You think I deliberately concealed this because I wanted to kill you when you were not prepared and snatch the Red Emperor Dragon, right? You... have already thought about it. If I take action, you will pretend to be unprepared and be killed by me, right?"
Tears flowed from her somewhat red eyes, and she choked and said, "How could I... take action against you? Shui Yingchen burned the letter to protect you, and I... have the same idea. Don't you understand?"
"There is no other way." Luo Jin shook her head gently. She looked at the Red Emperor Sword in Feng Lingruo's hand. "That red crystal is used to place the Red Emperor Dragon, right? The ability of the Red Emperor Sword is to maximize the power of the Red Emperor Dragon. Without the Red Emperor Dragon, it is just an ordinary sword."
"So, I must take out the Red Emperor Dragon."
She looked at Feng Lingruo and said softly, "Don't worry, I will give it to you."
As she was speaking, she suddenly felt numb behind her and her body instantly became paralyzed. A strong arm supported her from behind, holding her up and letting her lean on his arms.
He Xiao whispered, "I'm sorry, I can't let you do anything stupid."
Hua Lingruo wiped her tears and smiled, "Didn't the letter say it? I am the protagonist of this world. Is there any problem that the protagonist can't solve? Have you ever seen a protagonist who has to make merit by hurting innocent people?"
She walked to Luo Jin, reached out and touched her arms a few times, and took away her Blue Bird Knife.
Luo Jin's body was limp, and her voice was a little weak. "Do you think... I would use the blue knife to commit suicide?"
She smiled bitterly. "From the author's setting, this is the only solution. What other solution do you have? If I don't hand over the Red Emperor Dragon, there will be no peace in the world. I don't want to see this."
She said softly, "There are many people I like in this world, so I also like this world. But unfortunately, I can't accompany you anymore."
She closed her eyes slightly, "I didn't plan to use that knife. I'm afraid of pain."
"Perhaps, destroying the soul is the easiest way... I have always had some guesses, now is the time to tell me, is my idea correct?"
Feng Lingruo's face changed drastically, she rushed up and grabbed Luo Jin's hand, panicked: "What do you want to do?"
Luo Jin's lips showed an evil smile, "Absolutely right! I said that once you remember the lost memory, we will destroy together. Since you are ready, then... I will return all your lost memories to you. Satisfy your curiosity, and then, destroy together!"
Her pupils shrank suddenly, slowly revealed a smile, and then slowly closed her eyes.
"Sure enough... Luo Xin is my sister." She said softly, her hand slowly falling.
A red light slowly flew out from her forehead, slowly flew towards the Yuhuang Sword, fell into the red crystal and disappeared. At the same time, the crystal lit up, dazzling red, like the sunlight in the sky.
"Luo Jin!" Feng Lingruo's roar was heartbreaking.
He Xiao's hands trembled, and tears silently fell from his eyes.
He slowly wiped his hand under Luo Jin's nose, and suddenly raised his head, "She is still breathing... She is not dead!"
