The night by the lake was quiet, and the young man by the lake stared at the lake, and the melancholy in his heart rippled like water waves.

"Whoa...... Whoop ......"

The water of the lake seems to caress the shore tirelessly, submerging the stones on the shore and revealing them again, like a human mind.

Quietly, quietly.

At this time, it began to become noisy in the distance, and dense footsteps could be heard, and faintly, Nie Hongyu's voice came into his ears.

There are also Nie Tianya, Nalan Yan, Nalan Rongruo...... The sound is getting closer.

Nie Chen's mood suddenly became complicated, if Nie Hongyu asked her for a while, what should I say?

The young man's heart was full of thoughts of Nie Hongyu, longing to see them in the next moment, but he was afraid, afraid that when he faced them, he would definitely mention the name of another person.

Time passed between breaths, and Nie Chen's heartbeat was accelerating, uncontrollable, even if he was a five-grade cultivator, it was difficult to control.

Finally......

"Chen'er!"

"Chen'er!"

"Chen'er!"

A distant and familiar shout pierced the silence around them, and many lanterns illuminated the otherwise silent space, and many people, many pairs of eyes, were looking at it with burning eyes.

Nie Chen turned his head and showed a smile:

"Grandpa, father, mother, uncle!"

Nie Chen took a step that seemed to have the weight of ten thousand pounds and greeted him.

Nie Hongyu generally took the lead, stretched out his hand to hold Nie Chen firmly, and the smile on his face bloomed in the night.

This smile seemed to be contagious, turning the solemn and expectant gazes around him into excitement and excitement.

"Chen'er, you're back. ”

"Well, come and see you guys. ”

"Where's Ling'er?"

Really......

The smile on Nie Chen's face froze:

"She, she has something, she can't come for the time being. ”

After thinking about it countless times, after several entanglements and repetitions, I am afraid this is the best answer.

"Oh?"

Nie Hongyu was stunned, then nodded in understanding: "Hehe, there are some things that you can't say in the morning, so you don't need to say it, my father won't ask about it." ”

Maybe that's what it's like to be a loved one.

Nie Chen's eyes suddenly moistened, and he always wanted to open his mouth to say something, but he couldn't open his mouth anyway.

"Let's go in and talk. ”

When Nie Hongyu saw Nie Chen's expression, he called everyone into the Chenwang Mansion.

"Chen'er, it's been five years since you left the palace for the first time, my father and I are not like you warriors, you have a long life, and now my father is five years old. ”

Nie Hongyu sat on the head of the hall, next to Nie Tianya, Nalan Yan and Nalan Rongruo.

Hearing the deep meaning of Nie Hongyu's words, everyone's eyes unconsciously looked at Nie Chen.

How could Nie Chen not hear that Nie Hongyu had the idea of becoming a prince again, but Nie Chen really had no plan in his heart, and he didn't know how to refuse, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little calm.

"Humph!"

Nie Tianya was the first to stand up and said, "With Chen'er's current achievements, what is the throne of a Northern Liang Kingdom? His future achievements are unlimited. Obviously, there is a big disagreement with Nie Hongyu's thoughts.

Nie Hongyu glanced at his father embarrassedly, and wondered: "My son knows that a monarch of the Northern Liang Kingdom is nothing in Chen'er's eyes, but ......"

Nie Hongyu seemed to want to speak and stopped.

"But what, there is an old man in everything!"

Nie Tianya hurriedly interrupted Nie Hongyu's words.

"Hey......"

Nie Hongyu let out a long sigh, and swallowed the words that came to his mouth again.

Seeing that Nie Hongyu had shut up, Nie Tianya smiled at Nie Chen kindly: "Chen'er, come back this time, where do you plan to stay for a few days?" If you have important things, just go and be busy with you, grandpa and your father and queen mother, everyone, everyone is fine." Hahaha. ”

Nie Chen looked at Nie Tianya's gaze, looking towards the people around him, as if he felt that something was wrong, but he didn't break it, just quietly looked at the people in front of him.

"Chen'er, let the queen mother see if you have grown taller. ”

As he spoke, Nalan Yan walked forward quickly, grabbed Nie Chen's hand, and suddenly a fragrance permeated, Nie Chen stood up and looked at Nalan Yan, who was already half a head shorter than himself:

"Mother, are you okay these days?"

"Yes, yes. ”

Nalan Yan shook her head, her shrewd face radiating a proud brilliance.

The crowd fell silent again.

"Chen'er, do you feel that something is wrong with the atmosphere?" Gu Cang's voice sounded in Nie Chen's mind.

Nie Chen's eyes froze, and he replied to Gu Cang with a divine soul power: "I can see it, let's see what they have to say for the time being." ”

"Uh...... How long are you going to stay when you come back this time?" Nie Tianya's smile hung on his face, and his eyes were already narrowing into a slit.

"It's nothing, let's stay for a while. ”

Nie Chen relaxed his hands behind his head and looked up at the heavens.

"Oh. ”

When Nie Tianya heard Nie Chen say this, he immediately glanced back at Nie Hongyu and the others, a trace of anxiety flashed on his face, and then he turned his face and said, "How can there be nothing to do? ”

After a pause, Nie Tianya raised his voice again and added, "A good man has ambitions in all directions, right?"

At this moment, Nie Hongyu, who had just been ordered by Nie Tianya to shut up, suddenly stood up and said to Nalan Rongruo: "Nalan obeys the order!"

"The Minister"

Nalan Ruorong stepped forward with an arrow and bowed his head to obey the order.

"I will announce now that I will appoint the fifth prince Nie Chen as the crown prince......"

"Bastard!"

Nie Tianya was furious, pointing at Nie Hongyu's nose and saying, "You are harming Chen'er!"

Nie Hongyu no longer compromised this time, and replied-for-tat: "My son is the king of a country, and I can't just think about my son, but also the people of the Northern Liang Kingdom!"

"You!"

Nie Tianya's head was bruised, and he was so anxious that he couldn't speak!

"Chen'er, the matter has come to this, my father won't hide it from you, tomorrow my father and your grandfather will leave for the Northern Underworld Empire, this time life and death are unpredictable, if anything happens to me, you are the lord of Northern Liang!" Nie Hongyu's voice was loud and clear, shaking everyone's nerves.

"What the hell is going on?"

Nie Chen's brows furrowed tightly, and an extremely bad premonition surged in his heart.

At this time, Nalan Rongruo, who was kneeling on the ground, also straightened up and bowed to Nie Chen: "Chen, His Royal Highness the Prince, the Northern Liang Kingdom is already in danger!"

Nie Chen's heart suddenly "chuckled".

I heard Nalan Rongruo say: "A month ago, the Northern Underworld Empire suddenly sent us an edict, limiting us to hand over you and Nie Ling'er within one month, otherwise, we will ......"

"Just what?"

Nie Chen's voice gradually became flat, and his face gradually became gloomy.

"Dead country!"

Nalan Rongruo's voice became a little trembling.
