Chapter Twenty-Six: Go to the General's Mansion Tomorrow
As night fell, there was nothing in the sky but a few twinkling stars. And at this moment, an agile figure wrapped in a black night coat marched quickly under the night sky. The speed is so fast that it is difficult to see, and only a pair of charming eyes reveal that this is a handsome man.
The man did not choose a secluded road, but chose the bustling city, and as he expected, no one noticed his figure. Eventually, he stopped at the door of a mansion. There is a plaque hanging above the mansion, and the three large golden characters on the plaque show the identity of the owner: Nanwangfu.
The man's two sword eyebrows were lightly raised, his hand lightly crossed the corners of his mouth, hooked the charming smile, flew away, and entered the inner courtyard unconsciously. He was shuttling through the palace, not knowing what he was going to do. Finally, he stopped, and the black nightcoat blended in well with the night, so even if he was lying on the roof, the patrolling guards didn't notice.
He gently lifted a tile and looked inside. Sure enough, when I saw the scene inside the house, I smiled with satisfaction on my face.
Sitting in the room was Dongfang Haonan, who sat quietly at his desk, looking at a copy of "The Art of War" with an expressionless face. Remembering the knock on the door, Dongfang Haonan said lightly, "Come in", but saw Jian Yu pushing the door in, holding a cup of tonic in his hand.
"Lord Wang, it's late at night, and the kitchen has made a cup of bird's nest porridge, you might as well drink a little. ā
Dongfang Haonan raised his head and motioned to put it down.
"Jian Yu, have you found out his whereabouts?" asked Dongfang Haonan.
Jian Yu frowned, and his face was also faint: "Lord Wang, I haven't seen him since I injured him yesterday." His subordinates confirmed that he was missing near the General's Mansion, but it was Ling Ran who we caught up, not Ling Pingyang. ā
"Ling Pingyang is Yun Rui's best friend, and it is understandable that he wants to save him, but this king always feels that something is wrong. Obviously, Ling Ran deliberately led us over, and it only later occurred to this king that this was just Yun Rui's ploy to prevent us from entering the house to check on the tigers and leaving the mountain. So, could it be that Ling Pingyang was hiding in Murong Qingyi's room before?" Dongfang Haonan pondered, analyzing the question to Jian Yu.
Jian Yu agreed with his statement: "Lord Wang, then, should we go to the General's Mansion again? Could it be that Murong Bai really dares to take him in and choose to go against us?"
Dongfang Haonan shook his head, he didn't believe that Murong Bai had the guts. Although he was a protector of the country and held great power, he did not form a party for personal gain, but remained neutral and never participated in the struggle between their brothers. It seems that there is only one possibility, that is, he doesn't have affection for Ling Pingyang's affairs, perhaps, it really only has something to do with Murong Qingyi.
Although Dongfang Haonan had seen Murong Qingyi at the Spring Festival banquet before, she was as beautiful as a peach and plum, with bright eyes, and he did look down on her, but after seeing Murong Qingxue, he felt that it was not enough.
"Lord Wang, my subordinates will go to the General's Mansion tonight to take a look, maybe that person hasn't left yet. "Jian Yu built yƬ said.
Dongfang Haonan shook his head: "After last night, I believe that Ling Pingyang has left, after all, the General's Mansion is a place of right and wrong, even if we leave, Murong Bai will track it down to the end." ā
"But the prince, after all, he was injured and couldn't run far. Although his subordinates' martial arts are not as good as him, there are many masters in the palace, and I don't believe that he can't be caught. ā
Dongfang Haonan said: "Jian Yu, you may have forgotten who he is." The dignified medicine god son of the Medicine King Valley, who was injured a little, was nothing. If the king's expectation is right, he should have been healed. His martial arts are not something you can do with a few more masters, your martial arts are among the best in the Southern Palace, in all fairness, you fight alone, what are the odds of winning?
Jian Yu lowered his head, what Dongfang Haonan said was true. His martial arts couldn't help Ling Pingyang, even if he hurt him last time, it was in exchange for the lives of more than a dozen masters in the mansion.
There was a hint of pride in the corners of the eyes of the man lying on the roof, and he agreed with Dongfang Haonan's statement.
"Okay, you go back first, at this time the king has his own decision. Dongfang Haonan motioned for Jian Yu to go back first, and Jian Yu bowed and retired.
Dongfang Haonan put down the "Art of War" in his hand, and paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, as if thinking about something, his brows kept frowning, like ripples blown by the wind, which could not be smoothed.
Raising his eyes and looking out of the window, a few lonely stars fell in the sky, the night wind was tight, Dongfang Haonan walked to the side of the bed and closed the window.
Just as he walked to the window, the man on the roof used his luck with his hands, and a faint mist fell straight into the bowl of bird's nest porridge on the table.
Dongfang Haonan didn't notice anything wrong, and he did feel a little hungry after turning around. Reach out and pick up the bowl of porridge and bring it to your mouth. The man on the roof smiled so charmingly and watched quietly.
"Come out, aren't you tired from being on the roof all the time?" Dongfang Haonan suddenly raised his head and said.
The man's sword eyebrows raised slightly, shook his head, flew away, and landed steadily in the courtyard.
"Since you're here, why don't you come in and sit down, but instead be a gentleman on the beam, which will damage the reputation of your medicine god son?" Dongfang Haonan said lightly, looking up at Ling Pingyang in the courtyard.
"I thought you wouldn't be able to find me, but unexpectedly, you found out. Admire. Ling Pingyang was not angry at all, and took off the black cloth covering his face, revealing that handsome face.
"I didn't notice it, but when I was about to drink porridge, you smiled and fell a little dust. Dongfang Haonan looked at him with a smile.
Ling Pingyang suddenly realized, but he still admired Dongfang Haonan's skills and hearing from the bottom of his heart. Only such a person is worthy of being Yun Rui's opponent.
"Nan Wangye's skills are so profound, I really admire them. But do you know why I'm here today?" Ling Pingyang deliberately betrayed him.
"I didn't catch you yesterday, it seems that your injuries have healed today, and you are here to provoke demonstrations?"
Ling Pingyang laughed: "Lord Nan, do you think I'm really idle and bored? Entrusted by others, loyal to people, Ling Mou is just here today to complete the things entrusted by others." ā
"Oh, there are still unfinished matters in the Nanwang Mansion? Although Dongfang Haonan seemed to be joking, there was already a chill in his eyes.
Ling Pingyang didn't care, in his opinion, although Dongfang Haonan was profound, it was comparable to him, and there was nothing to be afraid of. smiled and said, "Does Lord Nan know what I came here for?"
Dongfang Haonan didn't answer, waiting for him to say it himself.
Ling Pingyang looked at Dongfang Haonan with an expressionless face, and shook his head helplessly: "Boring, boring." I'm not afraid to sue you, Ling is here to take your life today. ā
It was too late, and Ling Pingyang had already flown towards Dongfang Haonan. Dongfang Haonan had already seen his movements, and with a slight flash, he dodged lightly. Ling Pingyang seemed to have already seen that Dongfang Haonan would dodge this move, so he continued to attack him, and both of them used their housekeeping skills, and their moves were changeable, but they were all ingenious and exquisite. Although Ling Pingyang's move was sharp, it was not a killing move, as if it was just to provoke Dongfang Haonan's anger and lead him to attack him. Dongfang Haonan didn't understand what he meant, he didn't love fighting, he just wanted to knock him down quickly. It's just that it's not easy for two people with comparable martial arts to knock each other down, and they have fought dozens of rounds without winning or losing.
What exactly did Ling Pingyang want to do? Dongfang Haonan could not guess his intentions. When he saw that he didn't know the winner and wanted to stop, Ling Pingyang pressed forward step by step, it seems that the heart of this medicine god son is different from ordinary people, and it is really not a rumor.
"Lord Wang!" Jian Yu saw Dongfang Haonan and Ling Pingyang fighting fiercely, and immediately flew to join. The corners of Ling Pingyang's mouth smiled again, and the clone dealt with Jian Yu, revealing the flaw in front of him, Dongfang Haonan took the opportunity to hit him, Ling Pingyang dodged in time, although he dodged, but there was something that Dongfang Haonan inadvertently obtained.
He took a few steps back, touched his chest, looked at the object in Dongfang Haonan's hand again, and stretched out his hand and said, "Give me back!"
"The famous Ling Gongzi actually has his daughter's things on him, it's really unseemly. Dongfang Haonan looked at the sachet in his hand and looked at Ling Pingyang playfully.
Ling Pingyang's expression was not ashamed, but proud, revealing a playboy-like smile: "Lord Nan's words are wrong, my fair lady, good gentleman." Since the beauties are given away, there is no reason not to accept them. Prince Nan won't want to leave this thing, the gentleman doesn't take the love of people, and Prince Nan will never be like this...... Shameless?" Ling Pingyang laughed as he said the last two words.
Dongfang Haonan glanced at this sachet casually, and there were two lifelike mandarin ducks embroidered on the turquoise background, which looked like the love of his daughter's family. Originally, it didn't make much sense to keep it, but I accidentally caught a glimpse of the kid on the sachet, and his face became solemn.
Ling Pingyang saw that Dongfang Haonan had no intention of returning it, so he stepped forward to grab it, but was lightly avoided, and the sword rain took the opportunity to make a move, Ling Pingyang jumped into the air, took a few steps back, and immediately withdrew from the dangerous range.
"Since Lord Nan is interested in this, I will temporarily store it for you here, and Pingyang will definitely come to ask for it in a few days. After saying this, Ling Pingyang performed light skills, as if he was walking against the wind, and the posture of an immortal disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Jian Yu secretly admired in his heart, it was indeed a lifelong honor to be able to fight with this person, and he didn't know the right way to defeat him, he was really a fairy-like character.
Dongfang Haonan didn't care about the envy on Jian Yu's face, and stared at the sachet in his hand.
"Lord Wang, this sachet is just a thing of a daughter's family, why does the prince keep staring at it?" Jian Yu was very puzzled when Dongfang Haonan, who had never been close to women, cared so much about the boudoir of a daughter's family.
Dongfang Haonan put away the sachet and said lightly: "Tomorrow, I will go to the General's Mansion with this king." ā
Jian Yu was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "Yes, Lord Wang!"
Murong Bai, since this is the case, don't blame this king!Dongfang Haonan said secretly in his heart.
The roof leak was even affected by the overnight rain, and the broken ship encountered a head wind. Murong Bai has been going wrong in the past few days, if he knew that he was inexplicably targeted by Dongfang Haonan again, he really didn't know how to feel in his heart.
