Chapter 48 What's the crime
In the distant desert, the three finally came to the tribe.
In front of the tents, suddenly stood a huge Populus euphratica.
Ruan Yuan lifted the hat that was constantly blown by the wind to cover his sight, and suddenly stopped, looking at the Populus euphratica.
Seeing him looking at Populus euphratica, Chi Yinxu pointed to the tree and said,
"This is their sacred tree."
"The dense red ropes on the branches are all tied by the tribe."
"Basically, if they have a wish to realize, they will tie the rope."
Ruan Yuan nodded, went straight to the tree, was dazzled by those fluttering ropes, and didn't speak.
Chi Yinxu glanced at Gu Cong, then followed behind him, tilted his neck, grinned and said,
"If my sister-in-law has a wish, I will ask them for a rope."
Ruan Yuan put one hand on the tree trunk, stroked it lightly, and said to himself,
"It would be great if the remaining pigeons could fly here."
"Pigeon? What pigeon?"
Chi Yinxu asked.
Only then did Ruan Yuan realize that he was close to her, he was startled, and laughed again after a while,
"When the prince left, he took ten pigeons with him to report his safety."
"It's a pity that we left the barracks and couldn't see those pigeons anymore."
Chi Yinxu listened carefully, thought for a while and said to him,
"It's okay, the second brother will be safe."
"After walking for so long, let's go in and have a rest, come on."
He grabbed Ruan Yuan's arm, and pulled this gentle and delicate young man into the simple territory of the tribe,
"Pigeon, there will be."
Gu Cong looked at them and followed them.
When passing by the tree, I couldn't help turning my head to take another look.
Chi Yinxu was very familiar with the people in the tribe, so they vacated a vacant room for the three of them to stay temporarily.
Early the next morning, Ruan Yuan heard a voice outside calling him.
"Sister-in-law--"
The sound came in through the window, while the wind and sand were kept outside.
Ruan Yuan opened the window and saw the young man waving his arms towards the poplar tree.
Seeing him open the window, his smile was brighter than anything else.
"Sister-in-law!"
Chi Yinxu's voice became much more pronounced, and he tapped his eardrums happily.
Ruan Yuan raised a smile and shouted like him,
"What's the matter—"
The boy raised one hand and pointed at the branch,
"Look—there are pigeons!"
Ruan Yuan was startled, his eyes swayed and landed on the branch, and he saw a white pigeon standing on it.
The pigeon's legs are tied to the branch by a red thread, which is pitiful.
This is not the prince's carrier pigeon, but the prince's heart that beats with care.
Ruan Yuan leaned forward and leaned against the window sill, with the corners of his mouth raised high.
Suddenly, a figure sprang out from the tree. It was a little girl with a hanger in her hand.
"Wang Xu! Who told you to steal our pigeons—!"
"Ahhhhh!" Chi Yinxu jumped up in fright, raised his feet and ran, the two chased around the tree trunk, Chi Chengqi was discouraged after running for a while, and was beaten behind the tent by the girl and disappeared.
Ruan Yuan grinned from ear to ear, went out to the tree, looked up at the pigeon tied to the branch.
Tiptoe, out of reach.
"Let me do it."
A voice suddenly sounded behind him, familiar and gentle.
Ruan Yuan turned his head, met Gu Cong's bright eyes, watched him leap up the tree lightly, and patiently untied the rope from the pigeon's legs.
"Let's return the pigeon to the girl, let's go."
Ruan Yuan tilted his head and smiled.
The dry wind in the desert suddenly became ablaze with smoke.

"Sister-in-law, come here!"
Ruan Yuan narrowed his eyes, in the night, a table was set up under the poplar tree, and the young man and the young man in white were sitting at the table.
The boy waved to him again, and he walked towards the tree again.
"Come on, sit here."
Chi Yinxu patted the chair reserved for him, Ruan Yuan sat on it, and the three of them surrounded the square table, missing a corner.
If the prince is there, the seat is just full.
If the prince is there, it will happen to be consummated.
Ruan Yuan supported his chin with one hand, raised his eyes slightly, and faced the starry sky in the distance.
The prince left for half a year.
I don't know if he has arrived in Huajing, and I don't know if he is doing well.
"Sister-in-law, try this, you haven't eaten it before."
In the bowl in front of Ruan Yuan, suddenly there was a small round thing.
Chi Yinxu looked at him, eyes bright as if asking for a reward,
"Talents from this tribe can make it, and you can't eat it anywhere else."
Ruan Yuan picked up the chopsticks, put the ball into his mouth,
"good to eat."
"Which table did you steal again?"
Chi Yinxu's face changed, his ears turned red, and he denied,
"How can it be called stealing, I borrowed it seriously!"
"I borrowed that pigeon that day! I borrowed it!"
"This wine, and this food," he puffed his cheeks, "they gave it to me, I didn't snatch it!"
Seeing that he was in such a hurry, Ruan Yuan laughed before he finished eating the meatballs.
It doesn't matter if you can't receive the summons from the prince.
In short, he and Gu Cong are leading the fifth prince, approaching Huajing bit by bit.
When they find the prince, no matter whether they win or lose, everything will be perfect.
"princess."
Ruan Yuan came back to his senses, Gu Cong who was sitting across from him poured some wine for him and handed it to him.
Chi Yinxu glanced at the wine bowl, clicked his tongue,
"Master Gu, with such a little wine, who are you fooling?"
Gu Cong gave him a gouged look, but he immediately stopped talking.
"Princess is not good at wine, so don't drink too much."
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Ruan Yuan took the wine bowl with a smile, lifted it up,
"This mouthful of mine just happens to be a confession to you."
"They hang a rope to make a wish, and we use this sacred tree to make a wish, how about it?"
Chi Yinxu hurriedly raised his wine bowl, echoing,
"This is good! This is good!"
"Then I will, the second brother returns victorious!"
Gu Cong also raised his wine bowl and stuck it to the two of them,
"May the princess and lord be safe."
Ruan Yuan looked at their serious faces, and raised a gentle smile, so that the passing night wind was smeared with a wisp of fragrance,
"Then I will..."
"Consummation."
The three people's wine bowls collided and made a crisp sound, becoming a silver bell in this desolate desert, carrying wishes flying.
The red ropes were flying, and they drank it all under the sacred tree. They each put down their wine bowls, but shared the joy of the night.
Victory, peace, consummation.
The scattered desires are connected together, but it is the most beautiful world in their hearts.
The night in the desert stretched as far as the eye could see, they were trapped in the enchantment of the sacred tree, and no one found the black crow on the branch.

"I... see the emperor!"
The deputy general knelt down in front of Chi Jinnian before he could put his burden away.
"I have something important to report, it's urgent!"
The man in the dragon robe turned around, and the Qi Chengdian, which had changed owners, was still so empty.
"Say."
The man's voice was steady, raising a secret undercurrent in the air.
"Your Majesty," the deputy general lowered his head, biting every word hard, "Youtong's barracks were burned down, and the princess and Gu Cong are nowhere to be found."
Something heavy fell down, and the heart was bloody.
"Say it again."
Chi Jinnian took a deep breath, his hands behind his back suddenly tightened, but his pupils began to tremble wildly.
The lieutenant's tone was still so sonorous, no half falsehood allowed,
"I report to the Emperor that the Youtong military camp has been destroyed, and the princess Gu Cong is nowhere to be found. If the minister speaks half a lie, the sky will be struck by lightning!"
As soon as his Adam's apple moved, the smiling face of the small and exquisite young man fluttered on every floor tile, but the sound of "Jin Lang" flew far away, and he couldn't catch it anymore.
The blood of betrayal seeped into his throat, and his whole body began to ache.
He tried to keep his mind steady,
"Okay."
"The barracks are all burned, escape clean, clean!!"
His fists were clenched tightly, and the uncontrollable anger burned his palms, and a column of blood flowed down, dripping silently to the floor.
"Go and check."
"The ends of the earth, bring them back too."
The man gave an order, but his steps on the dragon chair were vain.
"The minister takes orders!"
The lieutenant replied and quickly backed out.
Chi Jinnian almost fell down on the dragon chair, looking at the memorials on the desk in front of him, the memories of the Wangfu study broke into his field of vision, and he couldn't drive them away.
The little man was pressed by him and sat on his lap, grinding the ink for him.
At first he was reluctant, but then he habitually rested his head on his shoulder.
That haunting face, the red marks on his white neck, the blue veins on his hands, everything about him is imprinted in his memory, the marks of birth pain.
You forgot, but I remember, all of them.
Chi Jinnian's pupils narrowed, and then he raised his hand under the horrified eyes of the maids, and everything on the table fell to the ground with a loud crash.
The candle burned to the hem of his clothes, and the sparks flickered a few times, resting in the air, like his beating heart.
"Get out! Get out!!"
He yelled, his eyes were bloodshot and hysterical.
The palace ladies shook their bodies and rushed to escape.
The emperor was still going crazy, he turned the whole table up, shouting the man's name, tears streaming down his face.
"Ruan Yuan! Ruan Yuan!!!"
Said to wait for me, wait for me for a year, wait for my life, but what are you waiting for!
The beam of light in my heart was cut in half, my emotions lost their bottom line, and the usually calm person also went crazy.
It's a pity that this hall is too big and too empty.
He smashed the table, destroyed things, and the candles fell on the ground bleeding, leaving only a high dragon chair and a flight of steps.
He didn't sit on the dragon chair, but fell on the steps.
The ruthless prince cried for the first time like a child who hasn't grown up.
The hug under the poplar tree before leaving is also engraved in the bones of ice and snow.
At this time, a puff of white smoke suddenly rose in front of him.
In the white smoke, a fairy walked out, just like the one I saw in the mountains that day.
Chi Jinnian's upper body froze there, only his red eyes looked up at the fairy.
Taoist Sanqing scanned the mess around him, and his eyes fell on the desolate emperor.
"Why bother."
"I didn't accept your demon army and let you sit on the throne as you wished. Why are you so furious?"
"Ruan Yuanyuan has his fate, you have your fate, you both are safe, and the world is safe and peaceful, isn't it good?"
As soon as the words fell, the people on the steps rushed over like hungry wolves, grabbed the fairy by the collar, their voices trembling and hysterical,
"Return the throne to you, and you return Ruan Yuan to me!"
"Aren't you a god? If there's anything you can't do, give it back to me, these... these..." He let go of his hand abruptly, and pulled the collar of his dragon robe again, "I don't want it, I don't want it!"
The dragon robe was torn open by him, but his expression was uncharacteristically humble,
"I want Ruan Yuan..."
"Give him back to me...!"
How could those hugs under the locust tree and the warmth in the room just disappear like this? He didn't agree, couldn't agree.
Once agreed, it will be beyond redemption and fall to the bottom.
The wild wolf in the desert only falls in love once in a lifetime.
Sanqing looked at him like this, his eyebrows twitched unbearably, and he looked away,
"Even a god can't control the mind of a mortal."
"Since Ruan Yuan has fallen in love with someone else, there is nothing I can do."
"Now, it's a good strategy for you to find the right fate."
"As for Ruan Yuan and Gu Cong, what's the use of finding them back?"
He stretched out his hand and put it on the emperor's dejected shoulder,
"Marry Li Wuyue and be your emperor well."
"Ruan Yuan, let him go."
In the middle of the night in Qi Chengdian, the sound of objects breaking and collapsing was buried in the soil, but there was a painful howl resounding through the sky.
He originally wanted to protect Qingming beside Young Master Xiaoqiao, but he lost the chance to protect him for the rest of his life.
What's wrong with his heart.

Chi Jinnian [killing intent]
Ruan Yuan: "Everyone comment a lot and scold Sanqing together!"
