Chapter 1073: Looking Ahead
Lin Ruichen and Ning Wuwu got up and sent Lin Wan and Zhou Tianqi to the door, waved goodbye to each other, and then watched the two of them walk out side by side.
Lin Wan was wearing a veil, and Zhou Tianqi was wearing a phoenix tail mask, and the two rode together and headed towards the east city gate. Because the name of the Black God of War is too big, many people know it, so when Zhou Tianqi wears a mask, he will not ride the Black God of War in the capital.
They were riding a brown steed, which looked ordinary, but it was extremely fast, and it was also one of the best horses in a million.
However, Zhou Tianqi and Lin Wan were not in a hurry, and let the horses move slowly on the deserted streets.
The night breeze gently swept the faces of the two, as cold as ice, but Lin Wan didn't feel cold at all, sat sideways on horseback, gently hugged Zhou Tianqi's waist, put his face on Zhou Tianqi's chest, and listened to his strong and firm heartbeat, only feeling warm and relieved.
Along the way, neither of them mentioned those troublesome things. Lin Wan asked Zhou Tianqi tenderly, "Apocalypse, are you tired?"
Zhou Tianqi shook his head, and asked Lin Wan gently, "Wan'er, are you cold?"
Lin Wan hugged Zhou Tianqi's body tightly, closed his eyes, shook his head, and said, "It's not cold, your embrace is very warm......"
After listening to Lin Wan's words, Zhou Tianqi held the reins with one hand, but hugged Lin Wan tighter with the other big hand.
The words between lovers are always so boring and silly to outsiders. However, for the parties concerned, it is like sugar and honey, as if every word is heavenly.
The two men were close to each other, both dressed in black, and from a distance in the night, it seemed as if there was only one man on horseback.
The east gate had already been closed, but after reading the customs clearance documents in Zhou Tianqi's hand, the soldiers guarding the gate opened the gate without asking anything, and let them out. It's just that I took two more glances at this pair of young men and women with mysterious identities.
A person who can get an unlimited number of times, an unlimited time, and no need to check such a high-level customs clearance document must have a very difficult identity, and the soldiers defending the city will never dare to slack off except for two curious glances.
After leaving the city, Lin Wan frowned and asked, "Apocalypse, who gave you this document?"
Zhou Tianqi hooked his lips slightly, and replied in a low voice: "It was given to me by my father, and my father knew that you were going to go out of the city, and he was worried that you would expose your hiding, which would affect me and him." So, I quietly asked Father-in-law Qi to send me this. β
Lin Wan sighed lightly and said helplessly: "In other words, all our actions are under the supervision of the emperor, and there is no privacy at all. Today, the guards at the city gate saw the appearance of the two of us, and tomorrow it will reach the ears of the emperor, who may have known the relationship between the two of us for a long time. β
Zhou Tianqi thought for a while and said, "I think, my father should know." You don't even look down on Prince Ximen, but you must let me accompany you to Xiling Kingdom. I refuse to marry the second miss of the Lu family if I don't already have a heart, how can I risk the disapproval of the world to resist the decree and refuse to marry?"
Lin Wan's brows furrowed even tighter, and he was secretly worried in his heart, always feeling as if he had been found by Zhou Chang'an, and felt that this was more risky?
Zhou Tianqi saw Lin Wan's worries, and persuaded softly: "Wan'er, don't worry, paper can't contain fire, and the two of us will one day be really together in front of everyone in the world." What's more, my father now wants me and the three emperor brothers to compete for the position of prince, and with you secretly helping me, the three emperor brothers and I can be regarded as evenly matched, and my father should not object to us being together. β
Lin Wan nodded slightly, sighed softly, and said, "Of course the emperor won't take any action against us now, that's because he needs us now." However, if one day, you really become the crown prince, and he feels that we pose a threat to him, he will also take advantage of our weakness and hold us in the palm of his hand. If he feels like he's out of control, it's really going to be against us. β
Zhou Tianqi frowned and thought about it, and said, "Therefore, this matter can be regarded as both disadvantageous and beneficial, and it is not entirely a bad thing." β
Lin Wan asked suspiciously, "Why do you say that, what are the benefits?"
Zhou Tianqi hooked his lips and smiled, and said softly: "As you said, my father knows about the relationship between us, and may use this matter to threaten us and control us." However, it is precisely because my father feels that we have the handle in his hands that he will be more at ease with us and will help us secretly. Just like this time, if it weren't for my father's help, how could things have gone so smoothly? Even if I didn't marry Lu Manting desperately, the Queen Mother and the Lu family would not give up like this. β
Hearing this, Lin Wan nodded, and said with a smile: "You have a point, but we will have to be more careful in the future." In any case, you just rejected the marriage of the Lu family and swept the face of the Lu family, we must not be caught by them at this juncture. Otherwise, if we let others know that the two of us are together, not to mention that the Queen Mother and the Lu family will not let us go, even the people will think that I am a vixen and robbed someone else's fiancΓ©. And you will also change from a benevolent and filial piety to a negative man who has always abandoned chaos, and has become a talking point and a laughing stock for the people after dinner. β
Zhou Tianqi chuckled lightly and said disapprehantly: "Is it really so serious? Even if it's true, I don't care, I can say whatever others like, do I still have to look forward and backward in order to maintain a good reputation, and live a life with you secretly?"
Lin Wan frowned, glared at him, and said indignantly: "You don't care, I care! Don't you know that rumors are fiercer than tigers? I am a good little girl, and I am said to be a fox spirit by others, how wronged should I be? Besides, my mother has just returned to the capital, I can't embarrass my mother, right? Also, who said that I want to live a lifetime with you secretly? If we can't be together in a bright and bright way, and can't be together in a beautiful way, then we don't want to be together!"
Zhou Tianqi was stunned, stared at Lin Wan's eyes, and asked in disbelief: "Wan'er, is what you said true?
Lin Wan heard the tremor in Zhou Tianqi's voice, and saw the injury in Zhou Tianqi's eyes, so she couldn't help but feel a stagnation in her heart, opened her mouth, and was speechless for a long time. After a long time, he said: "Apocalypse, isn't everything we do now for the sake of us in the future, so that we can be together freely and without any worries?"
Zhou Tianqi glanced at Lin Wan deeply, didn't continue to ask, nodded, and gently hugged Lin Wan into his arms.
