Chapter 139: Jiangnan Crisis

Zhou Tianqi walked in front, and he had already seen that it was Zhou Lingwei who was kneeling at the door of the Qinzheng Palace, and it was Lu Manting who was standing beside her with a worried face. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Zhou Tianqi frowned slightly, glanced back at Lin Wan, and saw that Lin Wan also recognized Lu Manting, and was frowning, with a cold little face.

Seeing that Zhou Tianqi was looking back at himself, Lin Wan turned his head to look around at no one again, and then gave him a blank look, and laughed at himself with jealousy: "It seems that I have done this too much, your childhood sweetheart is waiting for you, you go, I'll go back first." With that, he turned around and walked back.

As soon as Zhou Tianqi grabbed his big hand, he grabbed Lin Wan's little hand tightly, leaned into Lin Wan's ear, squinted his eyes and laughed softly: "Are you jealous?"

Lin Wan glared at him, gritted his teeth and said, "Who is jealous!"

Zhou Tianqi hooked his lips and smiled, and said in a low voice: "Then are you afraid?"

Lin Wan's eyes widened, and he blurted out angrily: "Who is afraid!"

Zhou Tianqi looked at Lin Wan's angry appearance, his mood was suddenly very happy, smiled at the bottom of his eyes, pinched Lin Wan's soft little hand, and said softly: "That's right, let's go." ”

Lin Wan remained motionless and didn't want to take another step forward. Lin Wan didn't want to see Zhou Tianqi and Lu Manting together, no matter what the situation was, no matter what the reason, she didn't want to. Even if Zhou Tianqi didn't even look at Lu Manting, she felt awkward.

Lin Wan didn't want to see Lu Manting's eyes looking at Zhou Tianqi, and she didn't want her man to be coveted by other women. The so-called out of sight is pure, she can not think about it, but if she sees it with her own eyes, she still can't let go.

Zhou Tianqi saw that Lin Wan was really unhappy, so he also restrained his smile, raised Lin Wan's chin, let her look at his eyes, and said word by word: "She is not in my heart, not in my eyes, nothing!"

Lin Wan looked at Zhou Tianqi's serious eyes, and suddenly felt that he was a little unreasonable, smiled faintly, nodded and said, "Let's go." ”

Zhou Tianqi looked at Lin Wan's expression carefully for a while, and saw that she was really not angry, so he slowly walked forward.

The sound of stepping on broken leaves under her feet caused Lu Manting to turn around, and when she saw that it was Zhou Tianqi, a smile immediately appeared on her sad little face, and she called happily: "Brother Tianqi!"

Zhou Tianqi frowned, his steps paused slightly, he really wanted to look back to see if his Wan'er was angry again, but he was afraid that she would be recognized by Lu Manting, so he had to keep walking, as if he hadn't seen or heard, and walked straight towards Zhou Lingwei.

And Lin Wan had already stopped ten steps away, looking at them from a distance, a little sour in his heart, but more attention was on Zhou Lingwei's stubborn back.

Lu Manting saw that Brother Tianqi ignored her, and a trace of injury flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her worried look, and said: "Brother Tianqi, you are here, quickly persuade the third princess, she has been kneeling for more than three hours, and if she kneels again, I am afraid that her knee will fall into the root of the disease." ”

Zhou Tianqi walked in front of Zhou Lingwei, looked at her with wrinkled eyebrows, and didn't know how to persuade her for a while.

Zhou Lingwei raised her head slowly, her face was pale, her eyes were full of despair, her eyes were empty, and she looked tired, but she still stubbornly straightened her back up, and her voice was a little sad and hoarse: "Seventh brother, my father said that the decree will be issued tomorrow morning." ”

Zhou Tianqi turned to look at the closed door of the hall, and was about to walk up the steps.

"Squeak-" The door of the palace opened, Zhou Chang'an wore a bright yellow imperial robe, walked out slowly, glanced at a few children outside the hall, and finally landed on Zhou Lingwei, his voice was majestic, and said: "Lingwei, you were born in the royal family, you are a princess, you should have been prepared to make sacrifices for your country." What's more, the Congress of South Vietnam will marry you as a crown princess, and I will also send you a city as a dowry, what are you not satisfied with?"

Zhou Tianqi, Zhou Lingwei, and Lin Wan were all shocked when they heard this, only Fengnan City bordered Nanyue State, and if Dafeng State gave up Fengnan City, they could only retreat to Fengming City, which meant that the people of Fengming City would face the never-ending smoke of war.

After more than 20 years of reconstruction, Fengming City is now the most populous and wealthiest city in the south of the Yangtze River. Don't say that if you really cede the city of Fengnan to the country of Nanyue, even if there is only a little rumor to Fengming City, it will cause a big riot and affect the economy of the entire south.

Zhou Changan didn't know this, so why did he make this decision?

Zhou Changan and Zhou Tianqi looked at each other from a distance, their eyes full of various complex emotions.

In the past few days, the relationship between father and son has been very harmonious, and Zhou Tianqi often feels that he has returned to the days when he was loved by his father when he was a child. But now, my father's eyes were full of suspicion and inquiry.

The disappointment and injury in Zhou Tianqi's eyes also pierced Zhou Changan's heart, but it did not make Zhou Chang'an soften and did not waver in his decision.

The night of the palace is still so silent that it is suffocating. Lin Wan looked at the father and son who had been looking at each other for a long time in front of the hall from a distance, and could feel Zhou Tianqi's sadness. Lin Wan couldn't help frowning and felt heartache.

I don't know how long it took, Zhou Changan looked at his stubborn son, sighed lightly, and said slowly: "I am the king of a country, although I have the power of life and death, but I also shoulder the heavy responsibility of defending Dafeng. You are my sons and daughters, and you should share my worries, not disobey my decisions. ”

Zhou Tianqi said coldly: "Father, is it possible that the southern city was ceded to the Nanyue Kingdom for the sake of the big seal?"

Zhou Changan's eyes sharpened, and he shouted: "Presumptuous!"

Lu Manting fell to her knees with a "plop", leaned over and kowtowed, and her voice was anxious: "Your Majesty, the Seventh Prince has no intention of disobeying you, please don't be angry." ”

Zhou Changan turned his head to look at Lu Manting who was kneeling on the ground, his eyes softened slightly, and he said softly: "Manting has always been in love with Qi'er since she was a child, and it is also Qi'er's blessing, and now you are about to die, I will make an order tomorrow ......."

"Father!" Zhou Tianqi suddenly interrupted Zhou Chang'an's words loudly, his phoenix eyes full of anger and anxiety.

In the past few days, Lu Manting came to the Yichen Hall to ask for a meeting, Zhou Tianqi either avoided it or had a cold attitude, Zhou Changan had already seen Zhou Tianqi's ruthlessness towards Lu Manting. Zhou Changan said this at this time, it was a temptation and a threat.

Lu Manting was already excited when she heard Zhou Changan's words, but she was ruthlessly rejected by Zhou Tianqi. She raised her head suddenly, looked at Zhou Tianqi with wide eyes, and tears rolled down in an instant. But Zhou Tianqi was glaring at Zhou Changan angrily, not taking her tears in his eyes at all, and not taking her sadness to heart. (To be continued.) )
