"Lord of the Kingdom!"

Qu Wurong called lightly, and then under Xiao Nansheng's eyes, he got down on the vacant seat next to him, and as soon as he took his seat, he heard Xiao Nansheng speak: "The lord of the country still thinks that you have to go all the way to the palace!" ”

There was a hint of ridicule in his words, Qu Wurong pursed his mouth, but he didn't answer his words, but directly said his intentions, "I have something to say that I want to talk to the lord of the country." ”

Hearing her words, Xiao Nansheng seemed a little surprised, but he still nodded, "Let's eat first." ”

The meals had already been brought up by the guys one after another, and this was indeed not a good time to speak, so Qu Wurong did not refuse, and had lunch with him at the same table for the first time.

Because of this little episode, after finishing lunch, Xiao Nansheng did not order to leave immediately, but let everyone in the restaurant be emptied, even the shopkeeper and his buddies were driven to the back, and in an instant, only Qu Wurong and Xiao Nansheng were left in the entire lobby.

Seeing that there were no other idle people waiting for him, Qu Wurong was no longer polite to him, and said directly to the point: "There is a question that I have always wanted to ask you." ”

Xiao Nansheng raised his chin, "Ask." ”

"Why do you have to marry me?" Qu Wurong has been thinking about this question for a long time, but he has never found an answer, "You know that I already have a place in my heart, and doing so is likely to provoke a conflict between Bailiao and Daliang, why do you still insist on going your own way?" ”

As if expecting her to ask this question, Xiao Nansheng gently hooked the corners of her mouth, and a trace of evil appeared on her handsome face, "What do you think is the reason why a man has to marry a woman?" ”

There was a little frivolity in his tone, which made Qu frown impatiently, "I'm talking to you seriously!" ”

"Where is the lord of this country not serious?" When Xiao Nansheng heard this, the smile on his face widened, "Men love women, but it's the most serious thing in this world!" ”

Seeing that he didn't seem to plan to talk to herself, Qu Wurong didn't have any patience, she already had a lot of complaints about the person in front of her, but it was just for the sake of her own calculations, so she wanted to have a good talk with this person, and now it seems that she has wasted her efforts!

Thinking of this, she ignored Xiao Nansheng anymore, stood up and walked outside.

"Wait a minute!" As soon as she stood up, her wrist was grabbed, Xiao Nansheng laughed and said, "Okay, okay, the lord won't joke with you, don't be angry!" ”

"Can the Lord of the Kingdom answer my question?" Qu Wurong looked at him and asked in a cold tone.

Xiao Nansheng blinked, "You want to hear the truth?" ”

"Naturally!"

"Okay, then I'll sue you." Xiao Nansheng said as he motioned for her to sit down with his eyes, "Actually, the lord of this country decided to let you come to my Bailiao country to make peace after hearing those rumors." ”

Gossip? Qu Wurong was slightly stunned, "What rumors?" ”

"It seems that the concubine's memory is not very good!" Seeing her dazed look, Xiao Nansheng couldn't help but sigh lightly, "Have you forgotten, it is because of those gossips that you will be driven out of the palace and reduced to the royal Zen courtyard to practice and pray for blessings, otherwise the lord of the country would not have met you there by chance." ”

Hearing his words, Qu Wurong suddenly recalled that those rumors that came out of nowhere last year, she thought that they had just spread for a while within the Daliang royal family, but she didn't want to reach Xiao Nansheng's ears, "How did the lord of the country know?" ”

"At that time, the lord of the country happened to lead the delegation to Daliang to discuss the alliance with your emperor." Xiao Nansheng didn't hide it from her, and told her everything that happened, including the glimpse outside the Royal Zen Temple, "The lord of the country just wanted people to inquire about your identity, but he didn't want to hear such an interesting thing!" ”

When he said this, his tone was full of bad taste, Qu frowned impatiently, and continued to ask: "What do those rumors have to do with you insisting on me and my relatives?" ”

"Of course it has a lot to do with it!" As if remembering something, the smile on the corner of Xiao Nansheng's mouth became much more sincere, "If those rumors are true, and you have subverted a dynasty with your own strength, then you are really an amazing woman!" ”

This didn't sound like a sincere appreciation, Qu Wurong automatically ignored his ridiculous tone, and continued to ask: "And then?" ”

"Then the lord of my country thought, since you can do this, you must have some ability, if you can go to the side of the lord of your country to assist, wouldn't it be a blessing for the people of my Bailiao country?" Xiao Nansheng replied with a smile.

Qu Wurong didn't speak again, just looked at him quietly.

His logic is really strange, if he is really the kind of woman who troubles the harem, then no matter which emperor should avoid her, right? He actually risked offending Shen Wu'an, and had to snatch himself away from him, no matter how he thought about it, he felt incredible!

After a long while, she asked again, "Aren't you afraid that I will also stir up your palace into a miasma?" ”

"If that's the case, the lord of the country is looking forward to it." Xiao Nansheng didn't seem to care at all about her "rebellious" words, and the smile on her face didn't even change.

Qu Wurong pursed his lips and stopped talking.

Seeing that she didn't seem to want to ask herself anymore, Xiao Nansheng stood up and walked towards the outside of the restaurant, ready to order everyone to set off, but he didn't expect that as soon as he took a step, he heard the person behind him speak again: "You just said that you want me to assist you in governing the country, right?" ”

Xiao Nansheng looked back at her and nodded, "That's right!" ”

"I can promise you!" Qu Wurong raised his head slightly and looked at him, "But you also have to promise me one thing in exchange for me to help you." ”

"Tell me about it first." Xiao Nansheng replied noncommittally, without saying yes or no.

Probably because he was too tired with his face up, Qu Wurong also stood up at this time, looked at him and said word by word: "My condition is that you and I are only a couple with no real name, are you willing to agree?" ”

Xiao Nansheng didn't answer her question immediately, but looked at her carefully, and after making sure that she was serious, he said with a smile: "It depends on what Cheng Dù you can help the lord of the country." ”

When he said this, his eyes flashed with playfulness, and there was a trace of imperceptible excitement, Qu Wurong pretended that he didn't see his feelings, and just said lightly: "If you say so, I will take you as an agreement." After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the outside of the restaurant.

Looking at her back gradually disappearing from his sight, Xiao Nansheng did not immediately catch up, but still stood in place, touching his chin with his hand and not knowing what he was thinking.

From Anli Town to the capital of Bailiao Kingdom, it still takes about five or six days to walk, since the last time he talked to Xiao Nansheng, Qu Wurong did not take the initiative to appear in front of him again, but resumed his previous style, unless it was time to sleep at night, he stayed in the chariot all day without showing up, and he never left the chariot half a step even for lunch.

Five days later, the convoy finally arrived at Xiaocheng, the capital of the Bailiao Kingdom.

Xiao Cheng is named after the surname of the Bailiao Kingdom, although it is not as lively and prosperous as the Tiandu City, but it also has a unique scene, after entering the city, Qu Wurong sitting on the chariot was gradually attracted by the scenery outside the car, and he temporarily forgot the infinite melancholy of leaving his hometown.

Probably got the news a long time ago, knowing that Xiao Nansheng would come back today, both sides of the street were surrounded by people who came to greet him, and when he saw the convoy arrived, he knelt down and shouted long live, from the enthusiasm of these ordinary people, it is not difficult to see that Xiao Nansheng is a very loved lord of the country by the people.

The convoy drove slowly on the main street of Xiao Cheng, Xiao Nansheng had already come out of the carriage at this time, changed into a group of black horses, and kept waving to the people on both sides, and there would be a deafening cheer everywhere he looked, if you listen carefully, the woman's voice is even louder.

Qu Wurong was not interested in these things, but carefully looked at the buildings on both sides of the street, most of the houses here were made of stones, compared to bricks, these large stones looked more solid and reliable, and could better resist the invasion of wind and sand.

The clothes of the people of Bailiao are not much different from those of Xiangcheng, the only difference is that the women here do not have to cover their faces with cloth scarves, although their facial features are not as delicate as those of the women of the Central Plains, but they also look unique and exotic and distinctive.

Just when she was intently looking at the street scene outside the car, the chariot slowly stopped, Qu Wurong came back to her senses, and found that the original convoy did not know when it had arrived outside the Bailiao King's Palace, and Xiao Nansheng, who had been riding a horse in front, had disappeared, only Xu Tianming, the personal guard who had been following him these days, walked slowly to the chariot and said respectfully to the people inside: "Guifei Niangniang, please get out of the car." ”

Qu Wurong nodded, and walked down from the chariot with the support of the two palace maids beside him.

After getting off the car, she found that there were a lot of people standing in front of her, and it seemed that the officials of the Bailiao Kingdom had come to welcome their lord back to China.

After a while, Xiao Nansheng, who was surrounded by everyone, finally appeared, he walked in front of Qu Wurong under everyone's gaze, and was about to take her hand into the palace, but he didn't want to be avoided by her.

Because the two of them were very close, her action of avoiding herself was not seen by others, Xiao Nansheng coughed lightly, leaned close to her ear and lowered her voice and said: "Even if it's just a show, now that so many people are watching, you always have to give the lord of your country some face, right?" ”

Hearing him say this, Qu Wurong also felt that his reaction seemed to be a little too much, nodded reluctantly, and then let him lead him towards the palace of the Bailiao Kingdom.

The courtiers of the Bailiao Kingdom knew that their lord was going to Daliang to welcome their relatives this time, so when they saw them so close, they did not show any surprises, and the two walked into the palace hand in hand, and just walked not far away, they saw a beautiful woman dressed in grace and luxury greeted her, and gave a salute to Xiao Nansheng Yingying, and her voice was as crisp and pleasant as a silver bell: "Lord, you are back." ”
