552: Princess Jing'an
The Xingyue Treasure is really tempting, and of course Nan Chu also needs this wealth. If there is to be a war, it can play a vital role.
Exchanging human lives for treasures is cost-effective no matter how you look at it. What Qu Qingze didn't understand was, since she had the Star and Moon Seal, why was she willing to give it to others?
Qu Qingze finally chose to ask for the treasure, and he also took the initiative to give Nalan Jinxiu the title: Princess Jing'an.
He thinks she is very smart, but very stupid, and he is relieved to let her take over the princess's mansion. He is the lord of the country, and he is in charge of life and death, and the soft-hearted person is the easiest to be controlled by him.
His attitude clearly indicated that Nalan Jinxiu would take over Princess Qinghe's Mansion in the future. It's just that the princess's mansion has no real meaning after the dissolution of the painting. It's the same for whoever is in charge.
Everything went more smoothly than expected. The princess's mansion suddenly seemed much deserted after those painted skins left. The people who stayed were all highly trusted and relied on by Qu Lianbing.
Hu Mingjun and the others did want to take revenge, but they didn't know if the princess's mansion had hidden strength, so most of the people sent were to explore the truth.
Bian Yanqing and Hei Wuchang didn't leave them alive, which made them no longer dare to act rashly. It's just that there are many enemies in the princess's mansion, and now is a good time to take revenge, and they will take action when the princess's mansion is exhausted.
Qu Qingze can be regarded as not knowing when he fights a little, but if it really threatens the safety of Nalan Jinxiu, he can't ignore it.
It's not that he cares much about Nalan Jinxiu's life, but he cares that if she dies, no one will be able to open the Xingyue treasure for him.
In this way, the princess's mansion gradually quieted down. Nalan Jinxiu felt that her life here was not bad, except for being pulled by Mu Li to practice martial arts every day, she was very comfortable at other times.
The weapon that Mu Li developed for her is called the strangulation rope, and she is usually in the ring. The strangulation rope is made of metal similar to the thickness of the strings, which is very sharp, and can even be said to destroy gold and jade. As long as it is wrapped around the person's neck, the person will not try to break free.
This weapon is easy to carry, and the lethality is strong enough, but the fly in the ointment is that it is easy to get injured when used. Nalan Jinxiu practiced for a long time every day, and her fingers were cut many times.
After the injury, I waited for the scab to form, and I continued to practice after the scab was formed. After going back and forth like this many times, her fingers were gradually grinding out of calluses, and she was not easily injured.
The days passed like this, and it was spring in a blink of an eye. Spring returns to the earth, everything recovers, Nalan Jinxiu and Mu Li will go to the horse farm every day to ride horses.
Even a cold-hearted person like Mu Li felt that such a day didn't seem to be bad. It's just that things are always unsatisfactory, and those peaceful days seem to have been stolen, because the holy decree has arrived at the princess's mansion again.
The meeting, which is mainly held in Daning and Southern Chu, and the small surrounding countries will be held in Luozhong, the capital of Southern Chu. This time, each country will send important ministers or princesses to represent their own countries, so it can be said that each country is in the negotiation line.
The reason why Nanchu has such strength is entirely because of the development over the years. Although the territory is small, the population is small, and many aspects are restricted, Nanchu has still changed from a small country to a strong country, and it has turned over and fought very beautifully.
The name of Princess Jing'an is on the list of nobles of Southern Chu, which means that this time Nalan Jinxiu must attend the banquet and will become the main event.
"The people we are meeting with are all important figures from various countries, and the people we have to send out to deal with them represent the attitude of Nanchu in every word and deed. There are so many princesses who don't choose the lord of the country, why did he choose the young lord alone?" Bian Yanqing had to worry.
"This is a bad errand, if it is not done well, people will be mistaken, it is related to the safety of Nanchu. If it is done well and shows its face in various countries, I am afraid that it will become a choice for relatives.
The ladies in the palace are usually jealous, but at this juncture, who dares to let their daughter take risks. If you marry a foreigner, I am afraid that it will be difficult to see you again in this life. ”
Bian Yanqing understood that anyone in the palace who could speak in front of the lord of the country would definitely not let his daughter take on this errand. The eldest princess has an arrogant temperament, and she usually offends many people in the palace, but this time someone is secretly stumbling.
The more Bian Yanqing thought about it, the more worried she became, the princess's mansion finally settled down, and the eldest princess's body was also getting worse day by day, and the whole mansion pointed to the young master. She couldn't have an accident.
Nalan Jinxiu looked at her with a sad face and smiled: "You don't have a bitter and hateful face, but you just treat people and things, and the other party is also a princess and a girl, so it won't be a big mistake." ”
"You always don't care about anything. ”
"The more things I have experienced, the more I can see it, the more I can see it. Nalan Jinxiu's eyes gradually drifted, who will Daning let come to this meeting? Will Northern Xinjiang send envoys?
"Ah Qing, did you send someone to ask if Northern Xinjiang was among the invitations?" Nalan Jinxiu asked this question for no reason, usually this kind of meeting would only invite Daning, and would definitely not give invitations to Northern Xinjiang.
But after the last war, Northern Xinjiang and Daning are already inseparable, and Southern Chu will inevitably invite Northern Xinjiang if they want to sow discord from it. I just don't know what my brother thinks about this, whether he will come or not.
As she expected, Nan Chu did invite Northern Xinjiang. It's just that Xu Jince refused, the first reason is that he is keeping filial piety, and the second reason is that Jinling will send envoys to come.
Nalan Jinxiu was relieved when she heard this, and said to Mu Li: "Brother knows that this is a hot potato, although it is said that it will be better for the development of Northern Xinjiang if he can get the support of other countries or form an alliance with them." But if it is promised, it will be difficult for Daning to explain, and the northern Xinjiang is still recuperating and recuperating, and it will not be able to make a strong enemy for itself. ”
Mu Li saw that she was still like a nobody, and he was also a little worried in his heart: "Since you want to receive female dependents, I'm afraid that it will be inconvenient for me to follow you, so you must be more careful when the time comes." ”
Seeing him frowning, Nalan Jinxiu couldn't help but feel a little funny. He used to be expressionless, but now he has become a sufferer. She still smiled innocently and harmlessly: "You don't have to worry about me, it's much easier to deal with these princesses than the courtiers." ”
"Don't underestimate them. "Mu Li saw Shen Congqian when he was in the Zhenbei Palace, and he fought with the painted skin many times, and then looked at the eldest princess and Bian Yanqing and black impermanence, which one of them was more powerful than a dozen men.
And, of course, the one in front of me. When it comes to arranging troops and the art of Qihuang, I'm afraid that no one can compare. Practicing martial arts originally had no foundation and should be extremely difficult, but because of her diligence and willingness to work hard, she has achieved a small success now.
She was just born as a woman, and if she is given a real male body, I am afraid that she will be able to guide the world.
When Mu Li thought of this, he felt that he was really not worthy of her, except for his good martial arts, he was very different from her in other aspects.
"Don't look at me like this, you can't blame me for being smart, you can only blame me for being too good-born. ”
The daughters of Xu Huaiyu and Qu Lianbing, one is a famous general through the ages, and the other is a heroic woman, and the children born by such two people are destined not to be too bad.
Nalan Jinxiu sighed that Xu Jinsheng's body has unique advantages, such as unforgettable, such as the comprehension of the art of war and the talent for practicing martial arts. If you change to yourself in the previous life, I am afraid that you will never be able to reach this height.
Mu Li originally thought she was excellent, and it was normal for him to be by her side every day, and he couldn't look down on other women. But now looking at her proud little appearance, I took back all the words I wanted to praise her.
"When the envoys of various countries come, they will definitely bring a lot of people, and I am afraid that there will be spies among them. When the time comes, we must guard the princess's mansion and not give them a chance. ”
Nalan Jinxiu has never pinned her hopes on others, so although there is no painting skin in the princess's mansion, there are still a lot of secret guards. If these people are discovered by someone with a heart, it will definitely set off a lot of storms.
She has been in Nanchu for more than half a year and has a thorough understanding of the court situation. He is also well prepared for those who may pose a threat to him.
She is not familiar with the people brought by the envoys of various countries, in case there are any capable people among them who find out her bottom line, then her Taoguang cultivation for most of the past half a year has not been in vain?
Mu Li also knew what she meant, and said lightly: "Don't worry, I will." ”
With him in the house, unless there are thousands of troops and horses, he can handle it. As long as the secret guards are not alarmed, and outsiders can't enter this courtyard to check, the secret can naturally be kept.
Nalan Jinxiu's confidence in Mu Li is really infinite. She felt dependent on him, and she felt at ease as long as he was around. If he went out to run errands, she wouldn't even be able to sleep peacefully.
Naturally, she never let him know about it. She has lived for seven or eight years in this life, plus the nineteen years of the previous life, and she is a person who is about to enter the year of establishment.
After experiencing so many things in two lives, her state of mind may be calmer than that of a sixty-year-old man. Many things have long been seen, and fear is almost non-existent for her.
But she relies on Mu Li alone, and sometimes, as long as she can see him from a distance and know that he is by her side, she can do things with peace of mind. This kind of feeling is not unfamiliar to her, but she doesn't want to experience it again.
The love of children is already very luxurious for a person like her, and after she has experienced two loves, she has no mind for this. No matter how deep the emotion comes to her, it is faint.
"Mu Li, I want to write. She suddenly said something without a head.
Mu was puzzled: "Now?"
"Hmm. ”
Seeing that she didn't mean to move, she asked again, "Here?"
"Hmm. Nalan Jinxiu only nodded.
"Writing under the sun hurts my eyes. ”
"I'll just write a few words, and that's fine. ”
Mu Li could only resign himself to moving the table for her, and then put the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone away......
