Chapter 40: Please Advise
Seeing Xuanyue follow, Qingfeng Lan asked, "Do you know the Ninth Princess?"
Xuanyue: "In the past few months, how many people in the empire don't know the legend of the Nine Princesses?"
Qingfenglan: "Then you tell me about this ninth princess, I heard that this ninth princess is brave and good at fighting, very powerful." ”
Xuanyue: "Brother Qingfeng, unfortunately, I have seen this Ninth Princess, although it is rumored from the palace that this Ninth Princess is brave and resourceful, but the Ninth Princess I saw is a little girl who is afraid of people, which is very different from what is said in the palace." ”
Qingfeng Lan looked at Xuan Yue in surprise and asked, "Have you seen the Ninth Princess?"
Xuan Yue hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No, no, no, how can I be the prince?" My brother is in the palace, and my father happened to meet the ninth princess when I asked me to go to my brother to talk about something. ”
Qingfeng Lan nodded and continued to ask, "Then is there anything wrong with the Nine Princesses you saw?"
Xuan Yue thought for a while and said, "There doesn't seem to be anything wrong, it's that she has been carrying a child all the time." ”
Qingfeng: "Child, how old is the child?"
Xuanyue frowned and thought for a while: "That's it, a child." ”
Qingfeng Lan heard Xuanyue's explanation, smiled and did not continue the topic.
Qingfeng: "Since your brother is in the palace, can you let me enter the palace to meet the ninth princess?"
Xuan Yue hesitated for a while and said: "Brother Qingfeng, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that there is no affection between our brothers, and their ability to tolerate me is unprecedented so far, even if I go to beg them, it is estimated that it will not have any effect." ”
Qingfeng Lan was very surprised, looked at Xuanyue beside him, and thought of Zifeng again, what's wrong with him? Just a few months ago, he just saved a Zifeng, and now he has met another Xuanyue, is he a bodhisattva in his last life?
It seems that it is hopeless to let Xuanyue arrange for herself to enter the palace to see Zifeng, so she can only find other ways.
After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't think of any other way, so I had to continue to ask Xuanyue, a local.
Qingfenglan: "Do you know if there is any other way to meet the Ninth Princess besides entering the palace?"
Xuan Yue suddenly looked at Qingfeng Lan with some vigilance, and Qingfeng Lan hurriedly explained: "Don't get me wrong, it's that a friend of mine came to the imperial capital a few months ago, and then I didn't hear about her for a long time, and then I heard that the Ninth Princess had the same name as her, and she also entered the imperial capital on the same day, I just wanted to meet the Ninth Princess and ask clearly." ”
Xuan Yue breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The Ninth Princess usually doesn't leave the palace, but in a few days, it's time to recruit guards for the Ninth Princess's martial arts competition, and the Ninth Princess should come out once, and I heard that the Ninth Princess said that she wanted to study on the first day she entered the palace, so she may go to the Academy of Literature to study later." ”
Qingfeng Lan: "I have only heard of martial arts competitions to recruit relatives, how can there be competitions to recruit guards?"
Xuanyue: "This is also mentioned by the Ninth Princess, she said that she wants to recruit a very powerful person to protect her, and she is not used to the guards in the palace, so she has this competition to recruit guards, and there are many people who require it, such as the need to be able to detect skills, barbecue, and build a house, etc."
After hearing these additional conditions, Qingfeng Lan was already convinced that this ninth princess was Zifeng, and only she would choose this kind of thing as the assessment standard, it seems that this girl doesn't want to stay in the imperial capital, and she will also participate in this competition.
Qingfenglan: "Where can I sign up for this contest to recruit guards?"
Xuan Yue asked curiously, "Brother Qingfeng also wants to participate?"
Qingfenglan: "Yes, didn't I say it, I want to see the Ninth Princess and ask where my friend is." ”
Xuan Yue slowly breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Qingfenglan's answer: "The competition to recruit guards has not been registered, and the ninth princess will set up a ring and compete on stage until the ninth princess shouts to stop, otherwise the recruitment will continue." ”
Qingfeng asked with a black line on his head, "Your Majesty has also agreed to this unreasonable request?"
Xuan Yue nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty agreed." And this is a competition that everyone on the continent can participate in. ”
Qing Feng Lan didn't understand it anymore, and continued to ask: "Everyone from the whole continent can participate? Who is this Ninth Princess? How can she be so willful?"
Xuan Yue raised her head and closed her eyes and said, "Because she is so beautiful." ”
Qingfeng Lan thought back to Zifeng's appearance, and had to admit that it was very beautiful, but it was not so beautiful that this stupid boy around him was so obsessed.
Xuan Yue continued: "After the Ninth Princess returned to the imperial capital, she appeared in the main hall, and almost everyone who saw the Ninth Princess was impressed by her beauty, and some even regarded the portrait of the Ninth Princess as a treasure. ”
Qingfeng Lan, who was originally very certain, is now not sure, she has been with Zifeng for so long, although there have been a few times when she is not beautiful, but it has not reached this point, is it because she has seen too many beauties since she was a child?
Seeing that Qingfeng Lan didn't speak, Xuan Yue continued: "I plan to participate in the competition this time just to see the princess again, even if I can't be her guard, I will die without regrets." ”
Qingfeng is full of black lines, and he doesn't pay attention to the nymphomaniac person next to him.
The two did not enter the imperial capital until nightfall, and as soon as they entered the imperial capital, they were shocked by this prosperous solution, Qingfeng Lan knew why the people of the whole empire were yearning for the imperial capital, just look at this street, the wide streets on both sides were all vendors, and the road was full of traffic, even if it was nightfall, the entire imperial capital was still as bright as day, and there was an endless stream of pedestrians on the road, looking at the crowd, the breeze was in place, and it was impossible to believe that there was such a place in this world, and the night could be so prosperous.
Xuan Yue explained after seeing Qingfenglan's expression: "The imperial capital has no night, everyone can come out at night, even if you don't sleep all night, no one cares, the city defense army of the imperial capital is one of the most powerful defenders of the imperial capital, so the people who live in the imperial capital are never afraid of the night, and even gave birth to many night professions, such as touching treasures, that is, buying and selling treasures in the dim light, touching valuable earnings, touching fake losses, and some teahouses are also open at night, and there will be some people who talk about gods and ghosts telling others stories in teahouses." ”
After Qingfeng Lan heard this, he looked east and west curiously, and Xuanyue was not stingy, telling Qingfeng Lan what she knew about the night one by one. The more I listened to Qingfeng, the more excited I became, if I brought my sister and master to see this prosperous imperial capital, I would definitely regret moving away from the imperial capital back then.
The two came to a restaurant with a conversation and laughter. As soon as he entered the restaurant, Xiao Er greeted him and asked, "What do you two eat?"
Qing Feng Lan saw the decoration of this restaurant, which was already better than the City Lord's Mansion in Zhenjiao City, and Xuan Yue said directly: "Find us a quiet location and serve your signature dishes here." ”
Xiao Er led the two to a place on the second floor to sit down.
Qingfeng Lan watched the people coming and going downstairs, and suddenly felt that he regretted not bringing his sister here, but he felt the aura of the strong people around him, maybe it was right not to bring it.
The two didn't wait for a while, a plate of dishes was served, Qingfeng Lan looked at the table full of food, and ate it completely regardless of the image, Xuanyue originally wanted to maintain her image, but when she saw Qingfenglan's appearance, she didn't care about it at all, and buried herself in eating, and it didn't take long for the two to pack the table full of food into their stomachs.
Spread out on the chair and burp comfortably, this should be called happiness.
After a while, seeing that the downstairs was still full of people, Qingfeng Lan couldn't bear the thoughts in his heart anymore, and ran out with Xuanyue, and the two of them went around on the road, for Qingfenglan, these things are very novel, and he has never seen so many fun things.
Gradually, the two of them played into an alley, and after entering the alley, Qingfeng said slowly: "I've been following for so long, don't you plan to come out?"
When Xuanyue heard Qingfeng Lan say this, she immediately became vigilant.
"The young man is so good that he can find me. A voice came from the darkness, and then a tall figure slowly emerged from the darkness.
Qingfeng Lan looked at the man in the dark: "I didn't find you, I only found the one behind you." ”
The figure in the dark smiled: "Hahahaha, I said that I found you, but you still don't believe it, how can you find me?"
Another figure walked out from behind the black shadow, walked up to Qingfeng Lan, looked at Qingfeng Lan and said, "Who are you?"
Before Qingfeng could speak, Xuanyue beside her knelt on the ground and said: "Father, it's the child who lost the bet with Brother Qingfeng, so I want to be Brother Qingfeng's younger brother for ten years, this is not about Brother Qingfeng, if my father feels that this is embarrassing, then please expel the child from the family." ”
The black shadow ignored Xuanyue, stared at Qingfeng Lan quietly, and suddenly raised his fist and smashed towards Qingfeng Lan, it turned out to be a figure much higher than Qingfeng Lan, and his fist was like a battering ram towards Qingfeng Lan, Qingfeng Lan was not ambiguous, raised his fist and bombarded it, the two fists with huge differences touched together, without making any sound, and there was no emitting power, so they quietly came together.
After a moment, the black shadow withdrew his fist, glanced at Qingfeng and said, "Who are you?"
Qingfeng Lan also withdrew his fist and said, "As your son said, I am the one who won a bet with him. ”
The black shadow stared at Qingfeng for a while, turned to leave, and walked two steps: "Our family has never been afraid of the weak to embarrass us, because the only one who can be embarrassed is yourself." Shape up or ship out. With that, he disappeared into the darkness.
Qingfeng Lan looked at Xuanyue who was kneeling on the ground and asked, "You don't seem to have a very good relationship with your father." ”
Xuan Yue gritted her teeth and said: "I am the child born to him and his concubine, my mother died after I was born, and he didn't care about me, after all, he has so many excellent sons." ”
Qingfeng looked into the darkness and did not speak.
Xuan Yue knelt down for a while and said, "Brother Qingfeng, please make me stronger, so strong that everyone trembles." ”
Qingfeng Lan glanced at Xuanyue who was kneeling on the ground, how similar the current Xuanyue was to herself a few years ago, and the few people in her memory, they were all regretted for life because they were not strong enough, so they did not protect the people they wanted to protect.
Qingfeng Lan gently patted Xuanyue's shoulder and said, "I'm training people very hard, and I may die!"
Xuan Yue hit her head directly on the ground and shouted, "Please give me more advice!" ”
Qingfeng looked up at the moon in the sky. patted Xuanyue on the shoulder, turned around and walked out of the alley.
