1227 Anxiety
The autumn nights in Yunfu City are always a little cool, compared to the midsummer, there is a thick water vapor in the wind, slowly blowing over the human face, and you can always feel a faint melancholy.
The dinner was set in a garden built near the water not far from the Qianyuan Palace, the white marble palace lamps were brightly lit one by one, the undefeated lotus flowers in the liquid pool were gently swaying in the breeze, and the palace lamps were reflected in the slowly moving pond, as if they melted into the starlight in the sky, all of them were shattered in the water, and the reflection of the shadows was particularly beautiful.
Holding the wine glass, Bai Lang sniffed the fine wine in the glass, which was much higher than the wine they had drunk in the wine shop and teahouse before, his eyes were full of carelessness, and he looked at the high platform built near the water, surrounded by the sound of silk and bamboo, and suddenly frowned.
"You Yan people always love these soft and soft-toned things, beauty is beautiful, but there is no half of the bones, like a beauty snake, no use!"
Bai Lang's most important thing is practicality, even for women, if he wants to choose a wife, it must be the best and strongest one in the tribe, beauty can only achieve the icing on the cake, he doesn't care much about whether he has it or not.
Chu Shaoyuan couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "Outside the gate is barren and hard, the wind and sand are too big, it is reasonable for King Khan to look down on these things that Wu Nong speaks softly, but these are the best servants of our Dayan, if King Khan is not satisfied, this king will change it again!"
"No need!" Bai Lang waved his hand and drank all the spirits in the cup, "It's the same tone again, forget it, but this wine can be another pot, no, let's have another jar!"
People outside the customs are addicted to alcohol, Chu Shaoyuan has long known this, and he didn't feel angry, he raised his hand slightly, and the eunuch palace people prepared, "When the King of Khan leaves Yunfu City, this king will send people to send the King of Khan some good wine to drink on the way." β
Bai Lang thanked Chu Shaoyuan with a smile, turned his head to look at the Nine Kings Urutbar, who was sitting on the side and had not made a sound for a long time, lowered his head and said in a slight voice, "Why didn't Uncle Nine speak?
Urutbar slowly raised his head, swept over Bai Lang's face, which was a little older than before, frowning slightly, and a face that was almost the same as Yan Ren's complexion, showed a look of doubt.
"What do you think?
The Nine Kings did not answer him, but asked him such a question, Bai Lang was slightly surprised, then smiled and ignored the Nine Kings no longer.
The banquet is slowly coming to an end, this dinner, there are not many people coming, and they are only accompanied by Chu Shaoyuan, the lord of the prison and some military ministers, Bai Lang doesn't know much about these people, and between pushing the cup and changing the lamp, it is mainly polite words, and this time he was able to meet the nine kings in advance, which he did not expect.
I thought it would take about a while to see it, but I didn't expect to see it at the dinner party like this, the Nine Kings did not suffer a lot as he thought, and looked a little stronger than before, which shows that the emperor of Dayan has never treated the Nine Kings badly, which also deepens the trouble for him to bring the Nine Kings back and let the Nine Kings have an accident by themselves.
The palace man stepped over and respectfully poured the new wine in the pot for Bai Lang, Bai Lang drank it all, and then covered the wine glass that the palace man still wanted to fill, and shook his head with a smile.
"It's getting late, I'm drowsy when I listen to this beautiful sound, the prince should enjoy it by himself!"
Chu Shaoyuan didn't force him to stay, he stood up with him, waved his hand to dismiss the singer, and personally sent him outside the palace, "The night is heavy, the king of Khan should rest earlier, and in a few days, when the king's hands are not too busy, I invite you to visit the garden together." β
As soon as Bai Lang raised his eyes, he saw the smile on his face, especially the way he smiled and spoke was particularly gentle, and his heart was a little detached, but he nodded quietly, "It's so natural." β
Chen Wenshu bowed his fists behind him, and Bai Lang performed a ritual on the grassland, and let the Nine Kings return to the palace with him.
As soon as he returned to the palace, the look on the face of the nine kings sank.
"You came here at this time, did you reach some ulterior secret with this prince?"
Bai Lang was speechless for a while by such a straightforward question, as if the Nine Kings had been imprisoned here for many years, and his brain had become more and more dull, as if he had really guessed his intentions, how could he ask such a question? They were each other's opponents, and they didn't expect him to die early, but they still expected him to be able to tell everything about it?
"Uncle Nine is too worried, now it is the summer and autumn season, there is no other major matter in the tribe, I put down the miscellaneous things, just to take Uncle Nine back to the tribe to recuperate. β
"Raising the Heavenly Age?" The expression on the face of the Nine Kings immediately became gloomy, and a pair of tiger eyes were wide open, as if they were going to eat people, "Timur, you don't really know anything when I have been locked up here with the Yan people for three years! You are afraid that you will come to take me back because you have already recovered all the grassland tribes, right? Let me guess again, are you planning to attack me on the road, so that the people in my tribe will hate the Yan people, so as to achieve your ulterior motives!"
Bai Lang's face was slightly embarrassed, "Uncle Nine doesn't believe me like this?" Well, since Uncle Nine doesn't believe me, I'll just leave, and Uncle Nine can stay here as long as he wants!"
The scene is easy to say, the Nine Kings are too anxious, since he was caught, although he has no worries about food and clothing, but he also sent people under the fence, these years, he has not even been out of the small cabin where he lives, the people around him will monitor him without leaking, more than the iron bucket, he wants to contact his subordinates, almost all of them are folded in swaddling clothes, making him more and more irritable.
"Timur!" the Nine Kings couldn't help but shout, "Don't you take me, the Ninth Uncle, in your eyes? Don't forget how the Old Han King confessed when he died, our tribe has been oppressed by the Yan people for a long time, and now you still want to join forces with them, aren't you afraid that after you go back, the people in the tribe will be dissatisfied with you, the new Khan King?"
Bai Lang raised his eyebrows and looked at Jiuwang's bluff, and wanted to laugh a little, "In other words, Uncle Jiu is indeed comfortable in Yanren, so he is so angry, it's okay, since Uncle Jiu wants to put such a big hat on my head, I have to let Uncle Jiu know what I mean, Chen Wenshu, come on!"
Chen Wenshu slowly paced from behind him, and made a salute to the Nine Kings, the expression on his face was not sad or joyful, and his voice was flat.
"Artur and Bacha'er and Chin Mohanda, in order to compete for the princess of the moon ring of the Duta Wugu Division, duel in the grassland of Shuoxi, Artur was seriously injured by the defeat, the Cha'a An Department was in a mess at this time, the Aru Haibu took the opportunity to seize the grassland of the Cha'a An Department, and seriously injured the warriors of the Cha'a An Department, and now among the six departments, there is an alliance between the Duta Wugu Department and the Ayiri Jijia Department and the Aruhai Department, it is the Prince of Artur who handed over the Cha'a An Department to the hands of the Khan King, and the Khan King will agree to take this trip, otherwise how would the Khan King risk his life to come to DayanοΌβ
The face of the Nine Kings turned pale in an instant, Artur, his most beloved child, since this child was born, he taught him hand by hand, whether it was horseback archery or sword competition, this child was a good hand, how could he be seriously injured!
This news made the Nine Kings feel unbearable, and they sat down on the chair with a heavy shake, their faces full of disbelief, "Artur would never do such a stupid thing, why would he compete for the moon wheel?
Chen Wenshu looked at the Nine Kings, his eyes were full of pity, he shook his head and sighed softly, "Duta Wuxuan has used a trick to make Prince Artur believe that as long as he can win the two of Bachar and Qin Mohanda, he can get five hundred cattle and sheep, and the right to use the Tana pasture for one year. β
The Nine Kings' eyes widened, and their expressions were extremely fierce, "It must be Totel and the two old thieves of Shinamhan who are conspiring to plot the fertile pastures of the A'an Department of Investigation!"
Bai Lang also couldn't bear it in his eyes, "It's too late to say this now, Uncle Nine should think about how to deal with the affairs of the tribe when he goes back!"
"Deal with it, I want Totel and Shinamukan two old thieves to return a tooth for a tooth!" the Nine Kings were furious, and their voices were a little unsteady.
Bai Lang smiled slightly and ignored it, sure enough, he had lived here with Yan Ren for too long, and even blurted out such words, which was completely different from the previous Nine Kings, and he also stupidly regarded the Nine Kings as his opponent, no matter what, this is a ridiculous thing.
Outside the window, the moon was slowly shrouded in dark clouds, a gust of wind blew, the cold moonlight was half gone, and only the smell of mountain rain in the air was about to come, and after a while, a drizzle blew in from the half-closed window, wetting a small piece of the ground, the palace lamp was blown crooked by the wind, and the light of the room flickered and flickered to the shadow projected on the wall was suddenly stretched.
"It's not early, let's go to bed as soon as possible, and wait until we get up tomorrow to meet customers." β
Bai Lang turned around and left, but the Nine Kings asked in surprise: "Who else do you want to see? Since you have already seen me, why don't you go back early? What kind of deal do you have with the Yan people? Don't hide it from me!"
The only thing that answered him was the cold autumn breeze in a room, and then the sound of the Praetorian guards who were patrolling the night not far away, and his loud voice had obviously aroused the vigilance of the Praetorian Guards, making them step heavier and heavier than the footsteps that could have been simplified.
The Nine Kings looked at the guards not far away, their eyes full of worry and hatred.
β¦β¦
In the mansion of the eldest princess of Changning, there was still some weirdness in the silence of the night, which made this originally inaccessible courtyard even more and more weird.
"I don't want to marry a Tartar!" Zhang Qing couldn't help it anymore, she wanted to escape from here, she complained while putting away all her softness, "If you don't take me away, since you have subdued the people outside, as long as you don't speak, I'll go by myself!"
The young man standing across from her stood upright, motionless, like a machine that could not speak or have no feelings, and only hung his head down at the ground, as if he had turned a deaf ear to her words.
"Hey!" Zhang Qing couldn't help but push him, his voice was full of anxiety, "What do you mean, since you don't want to wait for me to leave, why do you want to come here today?
The young man's face was a little embarrassed, and the place next to him was burning like a fire, burning himself a little overwhelmed.
"I don't care, since you're here, you must take me away!" Zhang Qing tried several times, she had never been able to get out of this small courtyard since she was poured in, she knew her mother quite well, if no one was willing to show up for her, she might really marry that Tartar.
But the young man still stood motionless, which made Zhang Qing desperate, and she couldn't help but stand on the ground and cry.
"I know, you all dislike me, you are the same, I originally thought that you were good, the person I could entrust, I had already thought about the life that the two of us would live in the future, but now you are like this, you say, don't you like me anymore? When I rescued you, you owed me a life, and now I even want to give it to you, but you hesitate, do you also dislike me......
She was out of breath crying, and suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she reached out and grabbed the young man's legs, and slowly climbed up his straight body.
"Are you complaining that I didn't give you early?" Zhang Qing said more and more she felt that this was the case, and she couldn't help but start to shed her clothes one by one.
The young man shook violently, and hurriedly held down the shirt she was about to untie, shaking his head eagerly.
"What the hell do you mean? Now you don't even want me, don't you?" Zhang Qing still had tears in his eyes, looking at the man's inexplicable and anxious face.
The man felt that his whole body was hot, and there was no place to be better than her hand or the leg she had just touched, as if the fire had suddenly burst into flames, and his mind was not clear.
He shook his head violently, and after a long time, he said softly, "No." β
There was a bit of hoarseness in his voice, as if he didn't speak often, which made his voice more and more unique and mysterious.
"Don't you take me away, do you think it's a good fate for me to marry a Tartar?" The anxiety in Zhang Qing's eyes spread again, making the man feel a little anxious.
"No," the man struggled to overcome his discomfort and said, "Miss is not fully prepared, it's not Miss's fault, if Miss is willing, I'll prepare, Miss is waiting here, I'll take Miss away tomorrow!"
