Chapter 13: The Palace
By the time Su Zhe and the others woke up, it was already late at night, and at this time, Nalan Che and Nalan Yan had already rested in the cave, and only Duan Tianze was still awake.
"Lord Wang......" He remembered the matter of catching the demon beast, and then saw that he was already in the cave, and looked at Duan Tianze beside him suspiciously, "Aren't you catching demon beasts?" Why is it here? ”
Duan Tianze pointed to the dream tapir behind him who was sleeping soundly with Nalan Yan, Su Zhe glanced at it, although the dream tapir had shrunk in size, he could still recognize it.
He was a little surprised: "No, why is this demon beast with Miss Nalan, is it a ......"
Is it a contract?
The moment he looked at Duan Tianze with a brick, Duan Tianze had already nodded, so after going out for so many days this time, he still failed to accept the demon beast in the end, and was exploited by others.
"It's all to blame Su Zhe for his dereliction of duty, for failing to protect the prince, and for losing the demon beast, and asking the prince to punish him." Su Zhe immediately knelt down and admitted his mistake.
"The matter has come to this, it is useless to say more, since the matter of catching and collecting has passed, don't mention it again." Duan Tianze raised his hand to stop what Su Zhe was about to say next, he was still staring at the flames.
"But why, I see that you are preoccupied, Lord Wang."
From the time Su Zhe woke up until Duan Tianze spoke to him, Duan Tianze's eyes had been staring at the fire, his eyes were confused, and he was not focused on the matter of the demon beast.
"Compared with the demon beast, this king is more concerned about one thing, what kind of identity do you say this Nalan Yan is, the rumors in the market can't help but believe it, but now that I see Nalan Yan right in front of me, I still have a feeling of disbelief." Duan Tianze had been thinking about this matter all night.
If Nalan Yan originally pretended to have no spiritual power meridians cut off, then he wouldn't say anything, maybe Nalan Yan was trying to avoid something. But he has been listening to this rumor for many years, as if Nalan Yan has become so powerful overnight, which is not believed by anyone.
Not to mention whether Nalan Yan deliberately concealed it, the talent test at the time of everyone's birth will never be fake, and Nalan Yan will not escape this hurdle.
Suddenly, he remembered the scene when he saw Nalan Yan for the first time, Nalan Yan was covered in injuries at that time, and her clothes were also shabby, when Nalan Yan was closer to him, he could still see the scars accumulated over the years, these things will not be fake, when he saw Nalan Yan's fiancé today, he could also see his disgust for Nalan Yan from his eyes, and he thought it was also because of Nalan Yan's reputation, which really made him suspicious.
"What does the prince mean......" Su Zhexu guessed knowing the concerns in Duan Tianze's heart.
"Do you think there is a special ability that can make a person become another person overnight, or make this person's spiritual power skyrocket in an instant? Oh, what nonsense this king is talking about. Duan Tianze said what he thought in his heart, but after saying it, he felt that it was not very real, and laughed at himself.
Su Zhe touched his head, he had never heard of such a thing.
"Wait, Lord Wang, I have one thing in mind."
Su Zhe's voice suddenly became loud, which startled Duan Tianze, and then he moved his gaze to Su Zhe and waited for Su Zhe's next step.
"In the past, when I was fortunate enough to be treated by a master outside the world, I accidentally saw a medical book in the master's hand, which talked about a secret spell, as if it could recall the souls of others into my body, but at that time, I just looked at it casually, and I didn't care too much, you said, Miss Nalan would be like this." Su Zhe guessed.
Recall the soul?
Duan Tianze had never heard such a statement, but it was quite similar to Shang Nalan Yan, this matter had not yet been investigated, and it was just Su Zhe's random speculation, so he still didn't want to doubt the good of others.
"Only you know about it, and no one else is allowed to mention it." Duan Tianze instructed.
Su Zhe nodded.
If Duan Tianze hadn't mentioned it today, maybe he would have forgotten about Nalan Yan.
Early the next morning, Duan Tianze had already ordered Su Zhe to send someone to gather everything and prepare to leave.
"Are you going back?" Nalan Yan returned from outside, and saw that the things in the cave had been neatly put away at the door, and she was overjoyed, so she asked Duan Tianze.
Duan Tianze looked at Nalan Yan's happy face after guessing that they were leaving, and said inexplicably: "What, does Miss Nalan have any other ideas?"
"It's okay, I just want to say that you've been here for so long, and it's time to go back." Nalan Yan gathered up the herbs he had brought back and pulled Nalan Che to the fire to make some food for him.
When he heard Nalan Yan say this, Duan Tianze couldn't cry or laugh, as if Nalan Yan had forgotten to repair her physique, and mentioned it intentionally or unintentionally: "Did Miss Nalan forget something?"
Nalan Yan woke up violently, touched his sleeve pocket, found the herb placed inside, and exclaimed: "Really, thanks to your reminder, otherwise my herb would be suffocated."
"Isn't Miss Nalan going back with us?" Duan Tianze saw that Nalan Yan didn't have the slightest sign of remembering, so he spoke directly.
"Go back? Are you kidding? What does your guild have to do with the two of us, the two of us still have important matters, so I thank the little prince for the invitation. Nalan Yan patronized the collection of herbs under her hands, and didn't think of any connection with Duan Tianze at all, and said directly.
Duan Tianze raised his forehead and said, "So Miss Nalan is planning to break the agreement by treachery?" This king has been waiting for Miss Nalan to repair his physique, why doesn't Miss Nalan remember it at all today? ”
As soon as he said this, Nalan Yan remembered it, but repairing the physique is repairing the physique, and it is not necessary to follow Duan Tianze back to the house.
"I know, I'll send it to you when the time comes."
"Send it over? This king doesn't believe you, and he has to bring you to this king to lower his nose to rest assured, otherwise if you have three long and two short outside, it will be this king who will suffer at that time. Duan Tianze stroked his injuries and deliberately exposed them for Nalan Yan to see.
"You ......"
"So it's better to go back to the house with this king, and the king of the province will remember it for you." Duan Tianze saw Nalan Yan look up and see it, so he relieved his heart, knowing that Nalan Yan would definitely agree.
Nalan Yan was helpless, she really couldn't refuse, but there was nothing wrong with going to Duan Tianze, it was more troublesome for her to find herbs in the forest, if she went to Duan Tianze's place, maybe she could take advantage of Duan Tianze's status and the treasures in the mansion to refine some pills.
She turned her head to look at Nalanche to ask for his opinion, and said, "What do you think?"
Nalan Che's heart was on Nalan Yan's body, and he naturally said: "Where my sister goes, Che'er will go."
Since this is the case, she followed Duan Tianze back to the house to get it, and solved Duan Tianze's trouble first, and then it was more convenient to leave.
"Don't worry, this king's palace is more than enough for the two of you and the demon beast, and you don't have to worry about food and clothing."
Nalan Yan said in her heart that Duan Tianze herself was not worried about food and clothing, so she also saved the effort to bring it up again, and happily agreed.
Su Zhe and the others went to the palace in advance to bring the carriage directly outside the cave, Nalan Yan took Nalan Che out of the cave and saw two carriages, this time Duan Tianze had already planned to take Nalan Yan home, so Su Zhe came with the two carriages so neatly.
Along the way, Nalan Che was a little sleepy, leaning on Nalan Yan's side and falling asleep, Nalan Yan opened the curtain and looked at the scenery along the road, she didn't find that the scenery of the Demon Beast Mountain Range was particularly good, but she and Nalan Che didn't have the heart to appreciate it when they fled here, and it was really a creation to make people.
"This is leaving, maybe there will be few opportunities here in the future, don't you want to be here?" Nalan Yan asked, lying by the window and probing the air to breathe in the dream tapir.
It is still accustomed to the aura in the mountains, and has never touched the outside world, although it is a little reluctant, but it is also curious about the outside world, and now that it has a master, it is much more important to follow the master than to cultivate in the mountains.
"It's been a hundred years since I left home, and I'm tired of staying there, so I just went out with my master." Dream tapir said.
"This is about to reach the inhabited territory, you should be smaller, this will not scare people." Nalan Yan said.
Now the figure of the dream tapir occupies almost half of the seat in the carriage, and Nalan Che and Nalan Yan are shrunk in the corner of the carriage, and the dream tapir listens to Nalan Yan's words and looks at himself.
It misses the tall self of the original, and the demon beasts of the entire mountain forest dare not provoke it, and now it is very unaccustomed to this appearance, and it is still continuing to get smaller, and the people outside are too frightened.
Although there were complaints in his heart, the dream tapir still followed Nalan Yan's words and made his body smaller again, and now the dream tapir is only as big as Nalan Yan's two palms, like a pink little piglet, so that Nalan Yan can hold the dream tapir at any time, and there is no need to worry about the dream tapir having nowhere to put it.
Nalan Yan's eyes lit up when she saw the dream tapir like a little pig, and she immediately reached out to pick it up, but Nalan Che was still asleep, she didn't dare to move, or the dream tapir jumped on her body and let Nalan Yan touch it.
Under the bumps along the way, the convoy stopped, Nalan Yan also fell asleep in a daze in the shaking, the car stopped suddenly, Nalan Yan and Nalan Che woke up suddenly, and before they woke up, Su Zhe had already opened the curtain.
"Miss Nalan, Prince Nalan, Duan Wangfu has arrived." Su Zhe said.
Nalan Yan nodded and got out of the car directly, Duan Tianze was already waiting at the door, and the subordinates of Duan Wangfu were unloading the luggage in the car.
The entire Duan Wangfu is more luxurious and magnificent than the General's Mansion, and the door of the Duan Wangfu alone is enough to be three people high, and the three golden characters are on the top of Duan Tianze's head, telling everyone the status of this person.
There were two stone lions standing outside the door, and Duan Tianze was standing in the center of the mansion gate, exuding the momentum of the head of his family.
The six guards waiting beside him were motionless, giving Nalan Yan an invisible sense of oppression, and he always felt that Duan Tianze's momentum when he returned to the mansion was completely different from that in the mountains.
"Miss Nalan, please." Duan Tianze waited for Nalan Yan to move in front of him, and directly took Nalan Yan and Nalan Che into the mansion.
I thought that the outside of the house was so magnificent, and the inside of the house must be as luxurious as the outside, but after entering, Nalan Yan changed her opinion, and the house did have another warm appearance, and what caught her eye was the red repaired corridor, and the maids in the house on the side of the corridor were repairing the flowers and plants.
Nalan Yan really didn't expect that there would be so many flowers and plants in Duan Tianze's mansion.
The maids seemed to see the newcomers Nalan Che and Nalan Yan, and their eyes were speculating about their identities, or perhaps with disdain.
But there is no way to do it, after all, the clothes Nalan Yan was wearing were borrowed from Duan Tianze, and she thought that she couldn't wear bloody clothes when she wanted to go to someone's house, so she had no choice but to borrow clothes.
This dress really doesn't look like it on Nalan Yan and Nalan Che's bodies, both of them are thin and weak, and they can't support Duan Tianze's clothes at all, and it's really uncomfortable to be looked at like this by others.
The dream tapir shrank in Nalan Yan's arms, looking at the unfamiliar environment around him, he was still not used to it, especially the smell of these people made it feel uncomfortable, and he was still not used to the filthy atmosphere of the world.
Nalan Yan also protected the dream tapir more tightly, she has a contract with the dream tapir, and the smell of her body will make the dream tapir more comfortable.
