Chapter 22: I'm Worry-free!
As the footsteps got closer and closer, Carefree turned pale with fright, and froze in place on the spot, and the words that were about to speak were also stuck in his throat.
She looked straight at Xuanqiu, her eyes full of panic.
Seeing such a look of Graniwin, Xuanqiu's originally iceberg-like face melted instantly, he didn't care about the broken teacup under his feet, strode in front of Graniwin, didn't give her a chance to react, reached out and dragged her arm to pull her to the closet, quickly opened the wardrobe, and without waiting for Graniwin's reaction, he directly picked her up and put her in the closet, and then the wardrobe door also closed.
Xuan Qiu did this series of actions in one go, and after that, he immediately returned to his original seat, looking at the door with deep eyes, as if nothing had happened.
A moment later, the door was opened by two guards, and behind them was a smug South Wind.
Nanfeng was dressed in a black samurai outfit and had apparently just returned from hunting. As soon as he entered, he didn't look at Xuanqiu, but instead scanned the room a few times, as if he was looking for something. After not seeing what he was looking for, his face flashed with disappointment, and he turned his gaze back to Xuanqiu.
Faced with the intention of the south wind, Xuanqiu guessed a little, and must have found that the queen was missing, so he came here to find it.
Xuanqiu and Nanfeng looked at each other, neither of them spoke, they just looked at each other with a smile, and the guards who looked at each other like this were uncomfortable, because this atmosphere was too weird, and the momentum between the strong was not something they could resist.
"Commander Xuanqiu, how is life in this courtyard?"
It was the south wind that couldn't help but open his mouth first, and was slightly inferior in their first round of confrontation.
A hearty laugh came out, and Xuan Qiu said to Nanfeng: "Your Majesty's hospitality, there is food and shelter, and there are people to protect me, I have a very comfortable life!" ”
Hearing Xuanqiu's response, the gloom in Nanfeng's eyes flashed, but he didn't say anything, just sat down beside Xuanqiu with a smile, picked up the teapot on the table and poured himself a glass of water, drank it in one gulp, and said again: "The tea in the courtyard is really a little sweeter than that in my palace, no wonder Xuanqiu Commander is so stunned that he doesn't want to go out!" ”
After speaking, he also personally poured a cup for Xuanqiu and put it in front of him.
Xuan Qiu took his cup of tea without accident, drank it all, and then smiled at the south wind: "I don't know what is important for Your Majesty to come to visit me in person?" ”
Listening to Xuan Qiu's words, Nanfeng's hand hanging under the table clenched into a fist, but he still said to Xuan Qiu without changing his face: "Can't you come to the commander to catch up with the old without something, I haven't seen you for a few days, but I'm so lovesick about the commander!" ”
Xuanqiu was unmoved by Nanfeng's words, and still looked at him with a smile, waiting for his next step.
And Nanfeng looked at Xuanqiu, who was so calm, he would have been angry a long time ago, if he hadn't been in a high position for many years, he would have learned to be happy and angry, and he would have been angry at this time.
Nanfeng's heart was depressed, it was not easy to catch Xuanqiu's handle, but it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, as long as he used it a little, he could take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of this scourge and block Youyou's mouth at the same time.
When Graniwin left the palace, he had already sent troops to follow him, and Xuanqiu's meeting with Graniwin was also deliberately connived at by him, and he kept giving Xuanqiu a chance and waiting for his betrayal, so that he could punish him in a dignified manner.
There is no doubt that his plan is successful, and there are only two of Xuan Qiu's eleven subordinates left, and the military power under his command is also in his own hands, and Xuan Qiu himself was caught red-handed by himself, and it seems that even the God of Creation is on his side.
However, planning has not always kept up with the changes. With the news of Xuanqiu's arrest, the principalities who were originally subservient to their vassals were all ready to move, and even more so the army was ready to go, and the rebellion of several principalities seemed to the south to be completely ignorant of themselves, but the news from the border pass was that the soldiers gave up the conquest after hearing that their generals were arrested, and were driven straight in by those principalities.
Now that one-tenth of the South Wind Empire has lost its territory, if it loses territory after the battle, South Wind may be angry but not depressed, but the current situation can be said to be bloodless, because the cities are all surrendered by the soldiers who he thought he had controlled.
This is absolutely impossible for the ambitious South Wind Emperor to swallow this breath, his goal is the entire Oscar Continent, but now he can't even hold the South Wind Empire, so when can he complete his will, things have developed to this point, but he doesn't dare to do anything to those soldiers, compromise is the only way, thinking of this, his deep eyes continue to look at Xuanqiu.
Xuan Qiu was also very surprised by the expression of the South Wind Emperor, originally thought that he had only come to find Granivan, but now it seems that it was not for this matter at all.
Xuanqiu is a military strategist, and the South Wind Emperor is a politician, and when two people meet, they will definitely burst into sparks.
At this time, it was already the worst situation for Xuanqiu, and there was no worse situation, so his heart was very peaceful, but the Nanfeng Emperor was worried, so he was quickly defeated again, and his tone became very smooth: "I don't know if Xuanqiu Commander already knows that he is wrong?" ”
For Nanfeng's question, Xuanqiu couldn't figure out what he was trying to say, so he was still silent.
Seeing that Xuanqiu didn't say a word, Nanfeng knew that it might be his own question that made Xuanqiu a little confused, so he could only patiently explain: "The soldiers under Xuanqiu's command miss you very much, a general, and now that the major principalities are in rebellion, without your leadership, they are powerless."
Speaking of this, Nanfeng deliberately paused and looked at Xuanqiu's reaction.
But what disappointed him was that Xuanqiu still had a flat face, just quietly listening to himself.
Helpless, Nanfeng continued: "There must be some misunderstanding between Commander Xuanqiu and the queen in the middle of the night this time, but this matter has been widely spread, and my face is no longer gone, but I am not a stingy person, I can give you a chance to redeem your merits, I don't know if Commander Xuanqiu is willing to give it a try." ”
After listening to Nanfeng's words, Xuanqiu's originally somewhat apprehensive heart finally calmed down, and now that the weight is in his hands, then everything has a chance, and he secretly thanked the kings of those principalities in his heart, if it weren't for their feats, he wouldn't have been able to get out after abducting the queen.
In fact, Xuanqiu should be grateful to his brother Sam, after not waiting for Xuanqiu outside the city for many days, he sent someone back to the barracks to deliver a letter, and the content in his heart is probably two choices, if Xuanqiu Commander is arrested, he will incite the principality to rebel, and he will not resist, otherwise he will stay in place until Xuanqiu Commander returns.
It is undeniable that although Sam does not have the talent of a general like Xuanqiu and cannot command thousands of troops, he even sees farther than Xuanqiu in terms of wisdom and strategy, and the threat of this move is far more direct than Xuanqiu's lone danger.
If it was Sam who fell in love with Graniwin, then he would definitely use such a thing to directly coerce the Emperor of Nanfeng to hand over the queen, but Xuanqiu was not Sam, even if he also wanted to take Graniwin away, but he also respected her very much, and he didn't want to force her to his side in this way, nor did he want to threaten Nanfeng in this way, he wanted to defeat Nanfeng in a dignified manner, and wanted Graniwin to go with him willingly.
So, he was in such a field now, but he didn't regret it, at least he had tried, and just a quick glance, there seemed to be some hidden meaning in the matter of his arrest, when he saw the army behind Granivan, he lost his mind, and now he thought that if Graniwin really wanted to harm herself, she didn't need to come in person.
Glancing towards the closet where Graniwin was hiding, Xuanqiu immediately retracted to look at Nanfeng.
At this time, Nanfeng had been looking at Xuanqiu, and Xuanqiu's decision was the thing he was most concerned about.
A minute passed, two minutes passed, ten minutes passed, and the two still didn't talk.
When the patience of the Emperor of the South Wind was about to run out, Xuan Qiu stood up, half-knelt and saluted to the South Wind: "Xuan Qiu will definitely live up to His Majesty's trust!" ”
After receiving Xuanqiu's reply, Nanfeng raised a relaxed smile on his face, he knew that as long as Xuanqiu was gone, those lost territories Xuanqiu would definitely be able to help him regain them, and maybe he could get more, he never doubted Xuanqiu's strength.
However, when he thought that this excellent general was still worried about his queen, Nanfeng felt bad in his heart, and the smile on his face was immediately put away, and after a few words of slight advice, he left in a sneer.
After Nanfeng left, only Nanfeng and his two men were left in the room, and the guard who had been unconscious in bed also woke up, and he came to Xuanqiu's side with another guard, sharing the good news with their general.
But Xuanqiu's face was not happy, his eyes were solemn and far-reaching, and he kept staring at the wardrobe.
In the wardrobe, Sanssouci watched the scene just now in that gap, and her heart was also very chaotic, it seemed that this place seemed to be more complicated than she imagined, and Nanfeng was no longer the same as in Graniwin's memory, Wuwu also saw Xuanqiu looking at herself like this after sending Nanfeng away, although she knew in her heart that Xuanqiu could only see this wardrobe and could not see herself, but when she came into contact with his far-reaching gaze, Sanssouci couldn't help but open her eyes.
Time passed like this, and Worry-Free hoped that Xuan Qiu would release herself from the closet as soon as possible, but she was also afraid of meeting Xuan Qiu so soon, and she didn't know how she should explain to Xuan Qiu that she was not such a thing as Graniwin.
Because if it were her, she wouldn't believe such a ridiculous thing, I've heard of some magic potions that can change people, but I've never heard of one that can change the soul, because Graniwin's appearance and identity are too special for others to copy, and even those wounds left by self-harm can't appear on the same person, Xuanqiu will never believe that he is not Graniwin.
What to do?
Just when Sanssoi was most entangled, the cabinet door was opened, and the sudden bright light made Sanssou can't help but close his eyes.
Before she could open her eyes, she felt her body lighten.
When he opened his eyes, he found that he had been picked up from the cabinet by Xuan Qiu and placed on the stool.
Xuanqiu's eyes were very deep, he kept looking at Graniwen, and he didn't leave for a moment, perceiving Xuanqiu's gaze, carefree and very uncomfortable, when she shared a body in Graniwen's body, she could filter such a gaze, because no matter how much she felt the same as Graniwen, she was not Graniwin after all, and she couldn't control Graniwin's feelings.
At this time, after Graniwin chose to sleep, her carefree consciousness completely dominated this body, and she and Graniwin truly became a person.
I really couldn't stand Xuanqiu's scrutiny, so Miss Wuwu lost her temper and yelled out directly:
"Don't look at me anymore, I'm not Graniwin, I'm happy!!"
