24. Nayu's thoughts
One person and two demons drank bitterly under the moonlight, but they were also happy. I don't know when, Princess Nayu stood behind the dragon, her eyes were moist.
After Chu Huaiyi saw it, he hurriedly stood up and saluted. Seeing this, Long Ji also stood up and confessed: "Why did the princess come out, the weather is still very cold, you are in the car, and the food will be sent to you under the mark." ”
"Don't bother, I'm not so pretentious. Nayu sat down by the fire, curled up in the warm fox fur, and said quietly. "I'm not like this, if I abandon my surname, I can resurrect my father and emperor, then I don't want to have the surname Long. ”
After hearing this, Long immediately knelt down: "Mark your mouth and say wild words, please punish the princess!"
Nayu's eyes were hollow, her tone was melancholy, and she said absentmindedly: "General Long, you get up, I don't blame you, this is what I say in my heart." ”
"I was the least favored one in the royal family, and my father wanted me to marry into the Yu Dynasty. Unexpectedly, the ghost side made a difficulty, and everything was changed. ”
"Although I was not favored before, I was carefree, but now I am so frightened that I even walked through the ghost gate. ”
"It was the poor protection of the mark that made the princess suffer. Long Ji did not stand up, and quickly blamed himself.
"General Long, Chu Huaiyi, from now on, you don't have to do this again, I don't like it. Nayu looked at the two demons with sharp eyes and said calmly. "From now on, the three of us are left to rely on each other, what's the use of engaging in these false courtesies?"
"Stand up, General Long, you are also surnamed Long, I will call you Uncle Long, Chu Huaiyi, I will call you Xiao Chu. ”
Long He was very moved, couldn't help but burst into tears, and said in a choked voice: "Princess, with your words, I will go to the soup and the grass ring!"
"Uncle Long, Xiao Chu, get up. Nayu had a smile on her weak face, looking very happy. "In the future, call me the owner, anyway, we are a caravan. ”
Shi Yuanji looked at Nayu's weak and docile appearance, but he was surprised and a little scared in his heart. This banshee's words made the second demon throw herself to the ground, and the art of controlling people was simply unfathomable. In time, I am afraid that she will really be able to complete the great cause of recovering the country.
After a while, the stew in the pot was already cooked, and the fragrance wafted out.
Nayu said happily: "It's so fragrant, who made this?"
Long He said boldly: "Yu Gong...... The owner, this is made by the son of Shi Yuanji. ”
"Engong is not only good at spells, but also cooks good food. Nayu smiled, and the soft leopard ears turned around, looking very cute.
"You've won the prize, it's just a wild dish. Shi Yuanji laughed with him, but he was wary of Nayu in his heart. I don't know why, he always feels that this Princess Nayu is very dangerous.
Maybe I'm thinking too much, he said to himself.
"Then you're welcome. Nayu awkwardly scooped a spoonful of stew into her bowl, and the others began to eat it.
Although the three demons ate stewed indiscriminately, they ate with relish because of hunger. It didn't take long for the atmosphere to become familiar.
Long He drank another bowl of wine and said boldly: "Shi Gongzi, what are you going to do when you go to the imperial capital?"
"I'm going to Chengyun Pavilion to participate in the entrance examination. Shi Yuanji said.
Nayu put down the dishes and chopsticks and smiled: "Chengyun Pavilion? I know that it is the best university in Dongsheng Shenzhou and Xiniuhe Prefecture, and I have a few brothers who have studied there." ”
"But they don't learn very well, and they don't learn as much as I can stay at home and read. There was no disdain in her eyes for her brother.
As soon as these words came out, whether it was Shi Yuanji or the second demon, they were a little embarrassed. Long He had no choice but to laugh: "Shi Gongzi, you should go to Chengyun Pavilion, they also have a sect to study spells, and there is a department called Fake, which teaches spells." With your ability, entering the Chengyun Pavilion is not yet caught?"
"Yes, borrow your auspicious words. Shi Yuanji was very happy to hear this, and said happily.
Red and blue February was still exuding a soft light, everyone put away the kitchen utensils after enjoying the big meal, Shi Yuanji and Chu Huaiyi sat down and chatted, Long He and Nayu came to the carriage and seemed to have something to say to her.
"Uncle Long, you seem to have something to say to me all along?" Nayu sat in the carriage and looked at the twin moons in the sky, as if she was a little distracted.
"Princess, it was purely helpless for your identity to be exposed on the mountain, but now ......," Long asked suspiciously.
Nayu looked at Shuangyue intently: "But I shouldn't talk about the private affairs of the royal family in front of Shi Yuanji, and I don't hide my disgust for my waste brother, right?"
Long Ji was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the princess to see through his inner thoughts at a glance, and said after a moment of silence: "Princess, every messenger we sent before has not been heard from, to say that this is just the obstruction of the White Dragon Prince, it is impossible. There must be some hands and feet in it!"
"Coming to the Yu Dynasty this time, there are many difficulties and dangers, not only to prevent the pursuit of the White Dragon Prince, but also to guard against the conspiracy of mortals. We should beware of everyone, including that Shi Yuanji, even me, you should not be gullible. ”
"Alright, Uncle Long. Nayu gently interrupted Long Ji's admonition and looked at him sharply. "I said, now call me the owner. Besides, what kind of person do you think Shi Yuanji is?"
"East ...... The owner, I think that although Shi Yuanji is highly skilled, he does not look like a person with a conspiracy. Of course, this is only inference, not evidence. Long Ji recalled the details of his conversation with Shi Yuanji and said reluctantly.
"Uncle Long, you're right. Most of the messengers we sent were indeed detained by Hu Dan, the prime minister of the Yu Dynasty, and there must have been the will of the Emperor of the Yu Dynasty behind them. ”
"Of course, Yu Chao is not willing to sit back and watch the growth of the ghost side, but he will not be a good person in vain. The purpose of withholding the messengers was to allow us to turn to the Yu Dynasty in the most difficult time, so that they could reap the maximum benefits of the agreement, such as the coastline west of the Burning Plains and the control of some islands. ”
"In this case, we don't really have much to rely on to negotiate, after all, we have lost even the land, haven't we? So the best way is not to be vigilant, but to make friends and find more people and demons who support us. ”
"I can see that Shi Yuanji is an honest man, and he is a very powerful honest man, isn't this kind of person worth putting his heart in?"
When Long He was protecting the princes, he didn't protect the hot characters, but chose to protect the most unfavored princess because he took a fancy to her aura. Although he foresaw such an outcome, he would still be intimidated by Nayu's sanity from time to time, including at this time.
"Gong ...... The proprietor is far-sighted, but I am narrow-minded. Long Ji was convinced by Princess Nayu, who was only sixteen years old, but he had lived for more than forty years, but he saw a glimmer of light in Nayu's eyes, which was a kind of fantasy gaze that only a girl would have.
Long He looked at the light, and suddenly saw Shi Yuanji, who was honest and slightly thin, and suddenly realized in his heart. He had a lot of experience in life, and he suddenly thought of the consequences, but he didn't know how to speak.
Nayu saw that he was about to speak and stopped, and she asked curiously, "What's the matter, Uncle Long, what do you want to say?"
Long Ji turned around and said embarrassedly: "I was thinking, now that there is no female dependent, I am afraid that many things will be inconvenient, and the owner will be wronged." ”
"It's okay, in the palace before, I had to do a lot of things by myself. Nayu didn't care, and stretched out and got into the carriage. "By the way, I'll still be a female red, if your clothes are torn, give them to me, as long as you don't think I'm ugly. ”
Long Ji also smiled and said: "Don't dislike it, the owner will rest early, Chu Huaiyi and I will take turns on duty, don't worry." ”
"Got it. A mischievous reply came from the carriage, giving the cold night air a hint of girlish softness.
