Chapter Fifty-Eight: Lankong
Zhao Yuanxi watched Master Gu Xu leave, and then asked Alain, "Alain, has Tuoba Mandala arrived in Wucheng?" ”
Alan replied, "Back to the king, Princess Tuoba Mandala has already stayed at the inn in the dock city, and the minister has already seen her and talked with her. ”
Zhao Yuanxi asked, "What kind of person is Tuoba Mandala?" ”
Alan said: "Princess Tuoba Mandala is a heroine among women, with the spirit of a man, it seems that her martial arts will not be lower than that of a minister." ”
Zhao Yuanxi coughed, cleared his throat, and said, "Can you verify the news delivered by the informant?" ”
Alan replied: "In this Western Regions, Tuoba Shishui is the crown prince, and the Tuoba family can be regarded as the next generation of Western Regions lords. And Princess Tuoba Mandala has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and she is also a talent with the head of the family fighting in all directions, but it is a pity that she is a woman, although she is equal in the Western Regions, she still can't be a king. Tuoba Mandala came to the Kingdom of Ji this time for the sake of the lord of the Western Regions. ”
Zhao Yuanxi smiled, this can be regarded as God helping me, with the princess Tuoba Mandala, not to mention that the war in Xiting Pass will be won, even the stability of the Western Regions frontier in the next few decades is possible.
Zhao Yuanxi said: "Very good, tomorrow you will bring Tuoba Mandala into the harem, and this king will meet him in person." Oh, by the way, be careful to hide her identity, this must be done quietly. ”
Alan said: "Yes. The minister retired first. ”
Zhao Yuanxi stopped: "Hey, Alan, since you became a squire in the military department, you haven't had a private conversation with this king, why don't you tell this king, how are you doing in the military department these days?" ”
Alan said respectfully: "The minister is protected by the king, so he naturally lives well. ”
Zhao Yuanxi smiled and said, "When will Lord Alan also learn to say these high-sounding kind words?" Alain, who is next to this king, is an upright man who will never say anything high-sounding. ”
Alan swallowed his saliva and said, "The minister is guilty." ”
Zhao Yuanxi got up, helped up the kneeling Alan, and said, "You and I are the closest, and there is no need to be polite in private in the future." Alain, you are the most trusted person of this king, you must be honest with this king, and you must have something to say. If this king is confused about any thing and has done something wrong, you will come out and stop him. ”
Alan looked up at Zhao Yuanxi's eyes, she loved him too much, when did this terrible and deep love come about.
Zhao Yuanxi frowned and said, "Why are you blushing again?" ”
Alain's even redder, and his ears were red.
Zhao Yuanxi said: "Since you took off the black veil to show your true face, this is the first time that this king has taken a closer look at your face, and the scars on your face are almost healed, only a few faint marks." Alain is indeed a beauty. ”
Alain's heart was about to blow up when he heard this, took two steps back, and said, "Don't make fun of the king." ”
Zhao Yuanxi turned around and left, and said, "You go back, tomorrow you will bring Tuoba Mandala into the palace, and this king will meet her." ”
Alan bowed and said, "The minister retires." ”
Alan walked on the palace road, and now the sky was already dark and oppressive, and he could barely see the road ahead, and the faint moonlight was also blocked by thick clouds.
There was a figure standing on the palace wall, because the line of sight was too dark, Alan stopped and looked carefully, sure enough, it was a person standing on the palace wall.
Alain drew his sword and said, "Who is there?" ”
A magnetic man's voice came faintly: "Yes, you can detect my presence." ”
Alain was vigilant, the voice was familiar, the figure disappeared suddenly, a wind blew in front of his face, and the man's sword was already against his neck.
It's so strong! Alan remembered that this person was Lord Hekong who had been following Lord Gu Xu's side, how could he be here?
Alan was nervous, but said in a suppressed voice: "It turned out to be Lord Hekong." ”
I only felt that the person in front of me sneered and was silent.
Alan said again: "Lord Hekong broke into the palace late at night, regarded as an accomplice and rebelled, and the law should be punished. ”
Hekong said coldly: "Alain doesn't think that this can threaten me? Looking around, is there one person in the palace who is my opponent now? ”
Alan said: "The master of the Jinyi Guard is like a cloud, and even if the master of Lord Hekong is present in person, he may not be able to break it." ”
Hekong sneered and said, "Yes, Jinyiwei is amazing." But now that there is no one around late at night, Lord Alain's life is also in my hands, I'm afraid that Jinyiwei will not have a chance to come and save you. ”
Alan subconsciously swallowed his saliva and said, "Lord Hekong, you are an upright gentleman. Wouldn't it be because he followed the cunning Lord Gu Xu that he didn't even have his own minimum principles and bottom line of being a man, right? ”
Hekong put away his sword, put it into the sheath, took out a few pieces of paper from his cuffs, and said, "Lord Alan don't be nervous, I'm here to give a gift to Lord Alan today." ”
Alan said: "Lord Hekong has something to say. ”
Hekong said: "I was ordered by Lord Gu Xu to check the background of Lord Alan, and found a portrait of the king of Yuanxi in the adult's house, and there was a sentence written on it: 'The king's eyes are like the sea, and I am like a fish.'" The body of a king is like a river, and I am like a tree. ’”
Alain was so frightened that his legs weakened when he heard this, and he was speechless in surprise. This is the portrait of Zhao Yuanxi painted by himself, and the poem was also added by himself when he was drunk. This painting is my own private collection to relieve the pain of lovesickness, I have never had any thoughts, I can only hide this love in my heart. Now that the matter is exposed, what should I do if Zhao Yuanxi knows? What should Zhao Yuanxi think of himself, what if he is separated from himself from now on, and even disgusted with himself?
Alain shouted, "Lord Tsurukong! ”
The shout was as hard as it could be, and the echo rippled among the palace walls, and the people around him were afraid that they would hear it.
Alain panicked, she was overwhelmed, she didn't know what to do. This matter was unexpectedly exposed, she was invincible in the face of the Gu family's forces and Hekong's force, and she didn't know what she should do at this moment.
Alan sobbed, his legs were weak, and he was emotional, Hekong didn't expect this matter to have such a big weight in Alan 's heart, Lord Gu Xu was really shrewd, and sure enough, every step was accurately calculated and pinched by him.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Hekong also disturbed the people around him, and it was not suitable to stay here for a long time. He pointed to Alain's acupoint, picked up Alain, jumped onto the palace wall, jumped onto the eaves, and disappeared into the darkness.
