Chapter 63: Empress (six)

Qingyuan and the west wind were not there. Baili Qingfeng took Xiao Huoyue'er and Zhong Ning off the boat.
The female guards of the Flower Country had long been waiting under the boat, and all the others came down from the boat, and they led them forward. There is no nonsense, not much to say a word, even if a curious person asks a question, it is cold and unreasonable.
In the summer, the islands are green with green grass, lush trees, and bright summer flowers. The vigorous vitality of the island is very different from what they look in the distance. But Rao is backed by the summer scene, which still makes people feel deserted. After walking for a long time, someone asked how long it would take, but the guard still refused to answer.
After complaining a lot, the leader of the team turned back and said coldly: "If you don't want to keep going, just turn around and go back. The returning ship is waiting on the shore at any time."
The man whose face was sullenly spoken was ridiculous and ridiculous: "Your country of flowers invites us to come, but I did not expect to be given this kind of treatment."
The glanced at him with contempt and said: "We invite the world to come, not your crooked melons."
The man almost passed out, pointing at her and shouting and shouting, and seeing her still ignoring, angry and cursing: "If you are a bitch, if this is not a flower country, how can you get you like this? The maid speaks! "
Baili Qingfeng heard the words and said: "Xiongtai, but this is the country of flowers, if you want to spread the wild, do not look at the place, you are not afraid to offend the girl thrown into the sea to feed the sea monsters?"
The man was bullying and afraid, and when he saw that he was born tall and dressed not like ordinary people, he hesitated for a moment.
When they walked away, he slammed his back against his back, very fierce. Who wouldn't take a few steps, he was tripped by something under his feet, and he tripped face down and his nose was bleeding.
Looking back at his feet, he seemed to see a black shadow fly away, and when he fixed his eyes, nothing was lost.
Yueer flew from his feet back to the shoulders of Baili Qingfeng, and hummed: "I am impatient and curse people."
Baili Qingfeng smiled and said: "Well done, Yue'er girl."
Yue'er, who was praised, scratched her head and was a little ashamed. She was originally afraid that the prince might have received such monsters, but just now she found out that the prince was also a reasonable fairy like Qinglong.
For another half hour, some people gradually became weak, and did not want to go anymore, shouting to go back. For so many people, it is not difficult to find a few "like-minded" people, and people will leave in a short time.
After another half an hour, they have been advancing. They finally found something wrong and paused and said: "They have been taking us around!"
As soon as the words came out, more than eight thousand people were in an uproar. When there were many people, I just walked and buried my head, and didn't pay close attention to the nearby scenery. Now some people say that when they take a closer look, they really find that they have just walked by.
"What the is this country of flowers doing."
"If you are not sincerely inviting us to come, why tease people like this!"
"Stop, let's go back!"
The sound of going back has already filled the crowd, or sincerely going, or just complaining, or putting pressure on the guards.
Baili breeze looked at them without a word. This country of flowers is strange, but because of the strangeness, it makes people curious and wants to go further.
The escorts seemed to be numb to this situation. They waited a long while before finally saying: "If you don't want to continue going forward, you turn around and go back, the returning ship is waiting on the shore at any time."
It is still this cold word that more people left angrily than before.
In a blink of an eye, the advancing team was short of many.
Baili Qingfeng was counting the number of people left, and he saw a rickety old lady passing by and continued to follow the guard. The old woman's back was sullen and firm, and every step was strenuous. That's right, an old man spent a day and a night at the sea, and just walked for an hour just after getting off the boat. The young people may not be able to bear it.
This old lady, what is it to come to the country of flowers?
Xifeng slept well, but when he woke up, his waist hurt a little, and his sleeping posture was not correct. He woke up and tortured people.
She rubbed her waist and couldn't fully hold her back, which was very painful.
Qingyuan sat sideways to watch her left and right, and asked, "Xifeng, have you been possessed by a monkey spirit?"
The west wind, whose hands are tied to the body, has no time to scold, twisting and twisting, twisting himself into a twine, and collapsed to the ground, feeling that he will become a snake spirit. She was unable to exhale: "Will thump me, OK."
Qingyuan had just touched her hand, and she remembered a very serious matter. She grabbed his hand with her backhand and tremble: "You lighter, don't break my waist."
"You have to believe my strength."
"I just believe your strength too much!" Xifeng pleaded. "You promise me first. If you try too hard, I will scold you."
"... Xifeng, don't curse people without moving."
Xifeng laughed at himself: "Anyway, I am not a fairy."
Qingyuan removed her hand, thought hard, and tapped her on the back gently, saying: "You are not, why do you always compare with the little fairy."
"They are better than me."
"No." Qingyuan said, "You are better, better than any little fairy."
When Westwind had a meal, she was lying on the cloud and looked at him with her head biased. "So you keep saying that I am not a fairy, because ... I am better than a fairy, so I can't be included in the list of fairy. "
Qingyuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Otherwise what do you think it is?"
Xifeng stared at him blankly, flushed, and buried his head in the soft cloud.
She knew that Qingyuan was a poisonous tongue, but his poisonous tongue was straightforward. He said you were ugly, it was really ugly, not cursing people, he was just not hypocritical, he didn't understand human nature. People who like it will like it, but people who dislike it will also really dislike it.
This kind of personality is not good, because if there is no so-called hypocrisy, it will probably be a mess in the world.
But Westwind likes it.
He said that you are not a little fairy, not that you are not as good as a little fairy, but because you are better than a little fairy.
The little fairy is beautiful and nice, but Xifeng did not expect that he was more beautiful and better than the little fairy in his heart.
Her heart thumped, and she couldn't resist the sweet words.
Qingyuan looked at her very sadly, and when it was over, Xifeng's heart beat like a drum, which was abnormal.
The force of thumping on the back is very restrained, not heavy, just right. Westwind is in a good mood and feels that his waist does not hurt that much. She climbed up, her face still red, and she looked at Qingyuan, trying to kiss him.
The heart thumped even more.
Qingyuan looked at her very sadly and said, "Xifeng, your heart is beating so fast, shouldn't it be, dying?"
"... Bah bah!" Westwind suddenly disgusted, she thought that the dragon would definitely harm other girls in the future, so she must not let him go. She shook his hand, "Undead, alive and kicking. Let's go to the country of flowers, this time they should arrive, can't make Zhong Ning think we are halfway."
"Well." Qingyuan leaned over and hugged her, trying to hug for a while, like walking around in the woods that night. But now there is still something to do, and delaying her earning small money is going to be beaten.
Little money first, he second.
He understands too well.
It was evening, the setting sun sprinkled with gold, and the clouds were all over the sky. The island was reflected in the orange and red mountains, painted the green scene, and hung like maple forest.
There has been a person who has been on the island for more than one hour and has been repeating the circle with the guards. At the end, no one has complained-those who have complained have left, and the rest of them know that this is the country of flowers. It is useless to test them and complain.
To enter the hinterland of the flower country, see the empress, where is so easy.
The more you understand, the more willingly you can follow the guard.
It was just that someone could not support it and was forcibly sent away by the guard.
After another half hour, Baili Qingfeng slightly counted and found that there were only more than 3,000 people left.
At the time of departure, there were 15,000 people, who were attacked by the sea monsters and fell into the sea. They returned to the ship on the way. They complained about leaving after going to the island. Twelve thousand people.
This is like a screening level deliberately set by the Country of Flowers.
Baili Qingfeng said with emotion: "Sure enough, the country of flowers won't let so many people in easily. It counts as many as 150,000 people. I heard that the island is only more than 800,000 people, and let 150,000 people enter. It will die, and the empress is not stupid. "
From the time he disembarked, he was beside him, knowing that he had an invisible guardian of the beast, Rong Qi said: "Can you govern a country, can you be stupid? It's just that the island is full of women, no men, how to have children I'm afraid I went outside and found a man who was pregnant, so I will come back. "
His words were full of sarcasm and no respect.
Zhong Ning glanced at him indifferently, and said: "The women in the Flower Country can have children without men, so there are no men on the island. Similarly, men have no use except to give women a child."
Rong Qi was suffocating and awkward. He said with a chuckle: "Without a man, what a pleasure to be a woman."
Zhong Ning sneered: "You might as well say, there is no woman, it is not fun to be a man. A man, living on a woman, without a woman can neither set off your vanity nor allow you to be satisfied, not even children. . "
Rong Qi was humiliated and blushed, but she could not refute for a while, and turned to Baili Qingfeng: "Dao Chang is a judge."
Baili Qingfeng smiled and said, "Either a man or a woman are living creatures coexisting in the Six Realms. They have a reason to exist. I like girls, but they also respect them. You do n’t respect them, and do n’t blame them for looking down on you. Look, has Miss Zhong ever said so coldly to me? "
Rong Qi said: "Because you look good!"
He didn't want to walk with them anymore, so he was so angry that he left.
Baili Qingfeng waved at him: "Hey, I haven't finished speaking yet."
Rong Qi turned back angrily: "What are you going to say?"
Baili Qingfeng bent his eyes and said, "I really look good."
"..."
Rong Qi was so angry that he didn't dare to abuse him because he had a beast, so he whispered and walked away.
Baili Qingfeng smiled, and the white-faced scholar raised his hands and said, "It's a great curse."
The old woman also sneered softly: "This is what the ugly people are doing."
Baili Qingfeng saw her panting and limping, but was still walking with the team, worried and asked: "Mother-in-law will go?"
"Go." Granny raked her back, clenched her teeth, and did not fall in half a step.
Regardless of the purpose for which she came to the Flower Country, Baili Qingfeng was in awe of her and was a powerful old man.
The long line suddenly stopped, it seemed that the guard stopped.
They kept on, and everyone was numb, and no one said anything. But when they stopped, it seemed that they saw a light in the dark night, which gave everyone hope.
Soon the team moved again, and the people who followed were disappointed. After walking for more than ten feet, I suddenly found that it was no longer a circle, but a new road.
Everyone was suddenly upset and surprised.
Going in from the new road, you can see a canyon. The rocks on both sides of the canyon are more than 20 feet high. They are connected like hands on top of the peak, thus forming a natural hole.
The crowd walked through from below, lamenting the magical work of the little island.
Baili Qingfeng is accustomed to this wonder, which is really nothing. Looking up in the line of sight of everyone, when I retracted my line of sight, I suddenly found that there seemed to be two more figures beside me. At a glance, I saw my friend and Xifeng came back.
He twitched his lips slightly and said, "You came back in time. We walked around the island for a long time. We just entered the new road. It seems that we really want to see the emperor."
Westwind raised his finger and swear: "We didn't come back at the hour." She saw the rest of the people still looking at the view on the head, but Zhong Ning, facing the two people who appeared instantly, there was no surprise, think about this island is her I grew up in my home, so I ’m not surprised or surprised. It's just that she was curious about it and whispered, "Since Zhong Zhong is the emperor's guard, why should she go around with us instead of leading us directly?"
Baili Qingfeng didn't know that she was actually in this status. She was surprised and felt reasonable. Only such a guard can stay beside the empress.
Zhong Ning said: "Direct? You disappeared at sea, how to lead you?"
It seemed as if there was nothing wrong with this, but the perfunctory elements were more, and the west wind did not ask more.
Zhong Ning said again: "There is only one thing I concealed from you."
"Are you not a guard commander?"
"Naturally, you can ask other guards. It's just that the emperor ordered me to go and find the demon master privately. Other people don't know about this, so you can't mention the matter when you see the emperor." Tao, "Well, anyway, you can't get close to the emperor's body, nor can you speak."
"Can't talk?" Xifeng increasingly doubted Zhong Ning's claim to catch the demon, but the suspicion turned to suspicion. Her purpose was to get the gold bracelet, not for the reason that the giant tree of the flower country did not bloom.
The guard stopped again and turned, said: "Waiting to enter the main road, don't talk, I will lead you all the way to the palace."
Everyone answered, and some people couldn't help but look forward to it. This has never been a man's kingdom. The girls look like the outside, and how they react when they see a man.
It's curious to think about it.
After going out of the canyon, and walking for more than a hundred feet in the suburbs, I finally saw the road paved by Qingshi Pai. Xu is because it is an island and there are not many flat areas, so the houses on both sides are almost four or five stories high. The road is very spacious, not a straight road, but it can be connected to the end of the street, and it is a little winding. At a glance ... the end is visible.
No girl said welcome.
No girl was watching.
More than three thousand people entered the main road, like a group of ants passing by silently. Occasionally, I saw a corner of the house's window being opened, and only saw a strand of long hair, and saw the window slammed shut.
Not scared, but disgusted.
This made everyone feel surprised and unwilling to believe.
Westwind was also surprised, which was completely different from what she had imagined. Even though this is a place where no man has ever appeared, it should not be so malicious to them.
"Miss Zhong, why are they so cold to us?"
Baili Qingfeng also asked: "Yes, why?"
What about his little fairy, and his flowers? Can't see it, it's not in vain.
Zhong Ning glanced at them and said to Westwind: "It's not cold for you, but cold for men." She said in silence for a moment, "The baby girl in the flower country is born from a giant tree every year. There are nine people, but there are more than 800,000 people on our island, even in a hundred years, it is less than 100,000 people. In the year the baby was born, many old people will die. "
Xifeng thought of this, and said, "So the women on this island are not just from giant trees?"
"Yes. The Flower Country has been moving around in the Ten Countries."
The old woman twisted her eyebrows and asked: "Captive of baby girl to be a child of the country of flowers?"
"We brought back not only baby girls, but also girls and women. Except for the baby girls abandoned by their parents, the rest of the girls, girls, women, and old women came voluntarily."
"Volunteer?" Xifeng seemed to understand what she knew. Among the ten countries, there were many suffering women, but she didn't expect that they would be taken to this island by the people of the flower country, and together they formed this only woman The kingdom, "No wonder ... they didn't welcome outsiders, but with disgust."
Most people who come here may have experienced misfortune, and most of the misfortunes of women in the world come from men. So even if they go to a new place, they still hold a grudge against men. This word of hatred, through word of mouth, will make the original survival here never leave the island, and girls who have seen men from the outside world do not like men.
So do n’t say welcoming, it ’s good not to throw stones at them.
Of the more than 3,000 people, there are only one or two hundred women who come to join in the bustling, most of them are men. How can the people on the island show goodwill.
The white-faced scholar asked: "Since the people don't like men, why should there be so many men on the island? Shouldn't the emperor want to take living people to make medicine?"
Although Westwind found this statement terrifying, it was not untenable.
It's frightening to think about it.
Strange, everything is strange.
The islands are mostly low mountains, not too high mountains, and not much flat land. After winding the main road and going up the middle of the mountain, there are still houses on the two roads, which are about to reach the top, and there is a building different from other houses on the mountain.
That was the palace of the empress of the flower country.
The palace sits on the top of the mountain, almost flattening a large mountain, and is not fortified externally, so there is no high wall to surround it, so that people can see the prestigious and chic palace at a glance.
Because the emperor has no in-law relationship, the emperor selects the baby girl into the palace every year. After the death of the previous emperor, the new emperor will take over. Therefore, in this palace, except for the emperor, there will be only the next successor and the emperor. a lot of.
It is just the place where the empress lives after all, so around the mountains are columns two to three feet high. Behind each column are vermilion gates that enter the palace. At the back of the palace, a tall tower was built, and the cornices were decorated with pearls to show the difference.
"Can a house like this be built with the power of a woman alone?" One could not help wondering, "I'm afraid there are men on this island."
No one answered his suspicions, although everyone felt puzzled.
The palace was approaching, but no human voices were heard. Qingyuan listened carefully, and did not hear anyone talking or even a person. He looked up at the quiet palace and said, "Where did you go first?"
Xifeng noticed this problem at this time, thinking that after they went to the island, they did not see a man. She asked, "Not on this island?"
Qingyuan shook his head and said, "No."
During the talk, they had arrived at the palace and entered through the gates.
The palace lady led more than three thousand of them into the hall. The invisible and solemn atmosphere calmed everyone down and waited for the emperor to come out.
After a long journey, tired of them, they gave up a little bit-probably the emperor would not come out. After all, the flower country has too many tricks, which is completely unpredictable cold treatment and no expectations.
After a while, a jingle of the maid holding the bead curtain heard a crunch, and the dejected crowd looked at it.
Two court ladies lightly pull the bead curtain, and a woman with a skin of jade color walks out slowly.
The woman was tall and slender. Wearing a wide white robe, embroidered with elegant orchids, the jade-like green silk is lightly woven into a half-knot with jade hairpin, and the hanging green silk reaches the waist, and no mess is seen. A little vermilion under the forehead is a pair of cold eyes. The beauty of the allure is lightly applied to Fandai, solemn and luxurious, and it is indestructible majesty.
That is the empress of the flower country, Jiuling.
