After Hongwen returned to Feihuayuan, she couldn't calm down after thinking about it.
Suddenly, she suddenly knew so many things about her life experience, which made her feel upset. However, when she thought that her father was killed, she was filled with rage and could not control it.
Normally, she would always go to Xiaoyun to talk about something, but now, Xiaoyun went to the Immortal Medicine Valley with Uncle Yuyang to seek medicine, and she didn't know when she would be able to come back.
She was so confused now, there were so many things that she couldn't understand, and she just wanted to tell Xiaoyun.
She tried her best to restrain herself from being impulsive and waited for a few days, until the master came out of seclusion or Xiaoyun came back.
However, three days passed.
Xiaoyun didn't come back, and the master didn't come out of seclusion either.
Even in the past three days, she had gone to visit her master at the door of his secret practice room. However, the most taboo thing for those who practice seclusion is to be disturbed by the outside world. Naturally, Hong Juan did not dare to disturb the master rashly. However, one day in her heart It's getting harder every day.
At first, Hongjuan insisted on waiting for Nangong Yun and the others to come back, or for the master to leave seclusion, but there was no news from them.
During the past three days, Hong Juan had trouble sleeping and eating. She even often saw her father Nangong Zhen in her dreams calling her for help miserably. His face was terrifying and he would not close his eyes until he died!
So, she decided to go back to Kyoto alone to take revenge!
Since Hongjuan has been practicing in Fengming Mountain for many years and her strength has reached the eighth level of Yuanhun, it is not difficult for her to go to the mortal capital of the South Vietnam Empire to act.
However, she always felt a little lonely when she was suddenly left to do these things alone.
But that night, she still went down the mountain and headed to Kyoto!
...
A few days later.
The imperial capital of South Vietnam.
Hong Juan was walking alone on the bustling streets of Kyoto.
There are many shops on both sides of the street, and the afterglow of the evening sun shines on the red bricks and green tiles or the brightly colored eaves of the pavilions, adding a hazy and poetic feeling to the prosperous imperial city in front of you.
Occasionally, passing by a noisy place, I saw the plump girl leaning half against the door of the brothel with a charming smile on her face, waving her slender hands slightly to greet her.
Hong Juan couldn't help but feel a little confused when she first arrived in such a prosperous Kyoto.
In such a large imperial city, how can one get to the palace? It is impossible to search every palace and garden in Kyoto.
So she went to an old woman selling lanterns on the street and asked her.
"Old lady, how can I get to the palace?"
The old woman was busy arranging the colorful red lanterns that had just been prepared for the evening sale. Suddenly she saw a girl with a beautiful face wearing a red dress asking. She was stunned for a moment and then answered.
"Have you seen the highest attic in the city? That is the center of the palace. Do you want to buy a lantern? My lantern is cheap and beautiful!"
Although the old woman was amazed that there was such a beautiful woman in the world, she still did not forget to sell her lanterns, because after selling the lanterns, she still had to eat.
Hong Juan walked straight along the street, her goal was the highest loft in the city.
However, as she got closer to the palace, she became more and more confused.
Does she really want to go directly to the palace and kill the leader of the South Vietnam Empire with one sword?
Just as Hong Juan was deep in thought, suddenly, she felt something strange.
As a practitioner, she was keenly aware that there were countless pairs of fiery eyes on both sides of the street she just passed, staring at her intently, as if she had seen something incredible or someone!
Hong Juan felt a little uncomfortable being looked at, so she quickened her pace and came to an inn at the end of the street.
She had not made up her mind and was still a little confused, so she wanted to rest here for the time being and wait until dark before entering the palace.
Although she felt that there was no difference between her revenge during the day or at night, it still made her feel more comfortable at night, at least she didn't have to be stared at with such weird eyes all the time.
"Dong dong dong!"
As soon as Hongjuan entered the guest room and was about to put down the small baggage she carried with her, there was a knock on the door.
She turned around and opened the door. It turned out to be a little girl who was delivering food. She was about fourteen or five years old. She stared at Hong Juan with a pair of bright eyes on her cute little face for a while, but she didn't move even half a step.
"Little sister, give it to me!"
Hongjuan said with a smile, looking at such a cute little girl, her mood relaxed a little.
"Oh, no no...how can we let the guests do it!"
The little girl suddenly reacted and quickly brought the food into the house and placed it on the table for Hong Juan.
Then, he turned around and said to Hong Juan with a smile.
"Sister, where did you come from and how did you become so beautiful? All the girls I have seen in the capital are not as beautiful as you!"
"Oh, really?"
Hong Juan replied shyly. At this moment, she finally understood that this was the reason why those people on the street looked at her with strange eyes.
Then, she asked the little girl: "Do you know the current leader of the country?"
The little girl answered immediately after hearing this.
"Of course I know. The current king is really good. Everyone says so."
"Oh? Didn't he seize the throne through rebellion?" Hong Juan asked doubtfully.
"Shh..."
The little girl immediately made a gesture to signal her not to make a loud noise, and then whispered to her.
"Sister, I don't dare to say this casually. Our current ruler, I heard that he killed the old ruler back then. However, I wasn't even born at that time. These were all said privately by the guests who came to the store. Yes, my ears are really good, hee hee..."
The little girl smiled mischievously and then said again.
"Sister, tomorrow is our annual Heavenly Sacrifice Festival in Nanyue Kingdom. The king and queen will come out and hold a sacrificial ceremony in the square. It will be very lively by then and everyone will go to see it. Sister, you also You must go.”
"Tomorrow? Both the king and the queen will come?"
Hong Juan suddenly felt that maybe she could do it in the square tomorrow.
"Yes, they all come. I go to see it every year, and the queen is very good-looking. But compared to my sister, you are more beautiful, but..."
The little girl seemed to have something to say, so Hong Juan asked.
"But what?"
"But sister, if you go like this, I'm afraid a large group of people in the square will come to see you, hehe."
"Haha, you are such a shrewd little person."
Hong Juan smiled and pinched the little girl's pink face, and then the little girl jumped out.
Yes, Hong Juan realized that if she was going to do something in the square tomorrow, at least it wouldn't be too eye-catching, so after eating, she prepared a set of plain clothes to wear tomorrow.
...
The next day.
The Tianji Square was crowded with people.
In the center of the square, there is a circular platform about several feet high. The platform is filled with all kinds of sacrificial utensils, including fruits, vegetables, and various meats. It is extremely rich.
Many people in the audience shouted in unison: "Long live the king!"
At this moment, the king and the queen climbed up the stairs on one side of the square to the heaven-sacrifice platform step by step.
After the two of them stood still, they saw the yellow robe on the head of the country, Nangong Shuo, embroidered with the pattern of a dragon rising from the sea. Under the turbulent golden waves at the corner of the robe, the sleeves were carried high by the wind, and the flying sword eyebrows were slightly raised. The black jade-like pupils shone with a warm brilliance, and the solemn face reflected the morning light. With the majesty of a god and the inherent nobility, the whole person exuded a kingly aura that shocked the world.
The queen next to her, Lin Xuan, has an extremely gorgeous face, a pair of phoenix eyes that are naturally charming, but also awe-inspiring. Her black silk hair is combed into a gorgeous bun. She is gorgeous and graceful. She is wearing a gorgeous red and black dress with gold embroidery, which is incomparable. Stunningly domineering.
But when everyone's attention was focused on the platform for worshiping the sky, a pair of angry and hostile eyes appeared in a corner of the audience. The owner of these eyes was none other than Hong Juan.
At this time, she was wearing a clear gray linen dress, and her long hair was tied up casually with a brown cloth belt. She was standing in a corner of the square as remote as possible, watching the two people on the stage.
However, the bright eyes and white teeth that could not be concealed still attracted a young man not far away.
He spotted Hong Juan standing in the corner from the beginning.
This is not because he has known for a long time that at this moment, a girl who will surprise him will appear here, but because of him.
Yes, it's because of him.
Because he is the concubine of Nangong Zhen, the former leader of the South Vietnam Empire, Nangong Yi!
Nangong Yi is only seventeen years old this year. His mother is Lin Ling, and Lin Ling and Lin Xuan are sisters.
However, after the new king came to the throne, he did not kill him all. This was thanks to his aunt who was the queen.
However, because of the special nature of his identity, he was able to save his life despite the protection of his mother and aunt. Any thought of revenge could only be wishful thinking.
Over the years, as a marginalized prince, he has been hanging out in busy urban areas for a long time. He has personally experienced the people's customs and sentiments, and has keen observation. Although he is still young, he has gradually developed a broad mind to accommodate the world.
The reason why he was able to discover Hong Juan's existence was because of the killing intent in Hong Juan.
He had never seen such a stunning woman exuding such strong murderous intent even though she tried her best to hide it.
With his keen insight, it is not difficult to find that the red eyebrows are too similar to Aunt Lin Xuan.
The murderous intent that could not be concealed in her bright eyes was obviously not aimed at Aunt Lin Xuan, but at the head of the country next to her, Nangong Shuo!
Hong Juan was about to take action when she suddenly realized that someone was watching her behind her. Moreover, with her cultivation level, she quickly noticed that the other person was exuding the phoenix power unique to the royal bloodline.
At the same time, she also noticed that her mother Lin Xuan and Nangong Shuo beside her were looking at each other very affectionately. She did not want to let Nangong Shuo die on the spot in public, and she could not understand why her mother would be like this with Nangong Shuo. Love each other.
Therefore, she quietly hid her figure, retreated from the crowd, calmed down her emotions, and wanted to return to the inn first and stay until night before entering the palace.
