Chapter Twenty-Six: The Princess of Dongjiang

In the afternoon, the restaurant was the least busy, Aunt Feng Kite's joy was free, and everything was thrown to the subordinates to do, and she went to this attic to steal half a day of leisure with Mu Ruoying. The smoke outside the capital, the smoke curling from each house, makes people forget a lot of troubles, it turns out that they are just living for firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea.

"My aunt is the most leisurely person Ying'er has ever seen, sitting in this high-rise pavilion every day listening to singing and dancing, and looking at the voice, she can become the richest beauty in the whole capital."

"You conscienceless girl, I don't want this pavilion in his day. When you get it done, I'll go to Jiangnan to set up a tea stall and find many little lovers, wouldn't it be happy? I'm not a man of your majesty, I'm just trying to pretend to be confused. ”

Mu Ruoying has always known that Aunt Feng Kite's courage and wisdom are not under her, she never asks Mu Ruoying what she wants to do next, and Mu Ruoying will not put life and death out of the way, but dare to fight, and be sure that Mu Ruoying will not lose. If you lose, you will only lose fireworks for decades and the future.

"Auntie, Ying'er envy you very much, in this life, sometimes it is the greatest luck to be able to be confused for a lifetime. But if you are unlucky, one day you will have to be sober, and it is good that your aunt can also have the right to be confused. ”

Mu Ruoying remembered her ruthlessness towards Chu Lingran yesterday, a person will leave you one day sooner or later, because of greed, because of lust, because of concern, you were born alone, and you will not have anyone to accompany you when you die. She understood these truths very early, it is not difficult for a person to accept suffering, but what she is most afraid of is that she accepts it but still wants to struggle, and in the end she is tricked by fate to become a puppet puppet, so Mu Ruoying can't be like a wind kite, Mu Ruoying can only stay awake at all times.

"You came so early today, it seems that I am going to have a distinguished guest in the Jingxiu Pavilion today?"

Feng Kite looked at Mu Ruoying's injury, knowing that Mu Ruoying also had feelings for Chu Lingran, but she was unwilling to give it to her. This child is not like her mother, let alone Mu Jinghong, she has a tough personality, but at the same time she has a kind intention, but the world does not have a moment of mercy for her.

"I'll just say that my aunt is the smartest beauty in the world, I'm afraid there will be two of them today, counting the time, it's almost over, aunt, you can't be reluctant to take the osmanthus wine you brewed."

Mu Ruoying is happy that only in the wind kite will there be a girl-like coquettishness, the most happy thing about the wind kite is that Mu Ruoying has something to do with her, after so many years, Mu Ruoying has survived alone, and there is no need to be strong or not, it is already a habit for her, fortunately, the wind kite is still her last harbor.

"I'll bring it to you, you can drink less, the girl's house is in front of two men... Is it handsome? ”

The two joked, waiting for the arrival of these two distinguished guests, and sure enough, before the night fell, when there was still an hour before the sound and color waves, two people dressed in plain chivalrous costumes came to the Jingxiu Pavilion, glanced at a window opened in the top wing, and went upstairs.

"Let's do it, I guessed that His Royal Highness King Qi would come, but I didn't think I really guessed, although the Jingxiu Pavilion is beautiful and glamorous, in fact, the owner here, the osmanthus wine brewed by the wind kite is the best in the world, but it's... The wine at the last palace banquet was comparable to one or two. ”

"Oh? Then I'd like to taste it, and whoever has the same wine as me. ”

King Qi and Chu Lingran each sat on Mu Ruoying's left and right, and when Feng Kite left, he helped them close the door, and there was only one room on the top floor, and there would never be a second person to disturb them. It turned out that the greedy delicacies in the court that day were actually from the hands of King Qi, and it can only be said that King Qi's tea ceremony is unparalleled in the world, and it is also a recipe for winemaking.

"I have heard that His Royal Highness King Qi's tea ceremony is unparalleled, and now it seems that it is the reason."

Mu Ruoying has never sincerely praised a few people, and she is not an acquaintance with King Qi, but it is not simple whether it is a rumor or a real person. In this troubled world, this forbearant and lonely temperament, if you don't have the ability to go to the sky, you can't live today. Chu Lingran raised his eyebrows and was a little dissatisfied, he had known Mu Ruoying for a long time, in the past, Mu Ruoying's praise for him was mostly temptation and compliment, He Qiyu just brewed a pot of wine in front of her, Mu Ruoying's praise was full of appreciation for He Qiyu, which made him feel bad in his heart.

"Hehe, thank you for the compliment. But someone's face is not very good, it is better to get back to the point, Ling Ran told me your thoughts when he came, but this plan is really dangerous. ”

He Qiyu looked at the other table, and couldn't help but joke with the two of them, obviously they had each other, but every time they saw each other, they pretended not to know each other, which was really deliberate and unnatural. When He Qiyu and Chu Lingran came, Chu Lingran told He Qiyu about the death situation that Mu Ruoying told General Hong yesterday, and he was surprised by this woman, what kind of environment can give birth to such a daring woman.

"Are you really in this restaurant just to get the support of some old ministers, so that I can gain a foothold in the court? Now that the servant of the ministry is thinking about contacting the border countries in exchange for some benefits, he refuses to wake up in his dream, if I say, for the sake of this situation, I can still contribute a gust of east wind, do you still think that this plan cannot be brought back to life? ”

Mu Ruoying looked at Chu Lingran, and there was more firmness in her eyes. Chu Lingran knew that even if she hadn't seen her for just one day, Mu Ruoying was a little more sure than yesterday, this woman could always surprise him, since Mu Ruoying said and was sure, she must still have something to hide.

"Do you still remember that a few years ago, the general was still a young boy who had just become the main general, and there were many generals who had followed the old general for several years who were not convinced by you, but they didn't dare to say that there was a battle in Dongying, and the general did not fight as he wished?"

Chu Lingran tried hard to recall, only to remember that three years ago, he led his troops and waved his army straight down, all the way to the easternmost part of the territory, where the monarch of Dongying at that time had chaos with several small countries on the left and right, and the new monarch had only been on the throne for two years, and it was on the momentum that he did not allow any small country to insult the divine power of our country, so he ordered Chu Lingran to destroy Dongying, but there was a general's intervention that made his overall situation defeated, this battle chilled the heart of the world, and winning such a villain is equivalent to defeat.

"I have a rare impression that the general is still under my command now, and he is very hot, but I know that he often comes to you for drinks. Oh? How much can you even get into my secrets? ”

Chu Lingran knew Mu Ruoying's intentions from the moment Huazhifang was copied, in addition to the speculation about Mu Ruoying's opening of the Beijing Embroidery Pavilion, his appreciation for that woman deepened day by day, if the unfathomable martial arts are terrifying, then Mu Ruoying's ability to speculate on people's hearts and use people's hearts is the most powerful weapon in the world to control the enemy. Many of Chu Lingran's subordinates have come to the Jingxiu Pavilion, the capital is a world of flowers, and the soldiers here are all sons and brothers who are either rich or noble, he has never worried that Mu Ruoying can find out something, it seems that Mu Ruoying's skills are still superior.

"The general said so, I don't dare to be, but when the general's martial arts are also a hundred secrets, the general is rebellious, and he doesn't say something considerate to his subordinates, the general who was scolded by you, went to the slave camp in a fit of anger, kidnapped the princess of the Eastern Xinjiang country overnight, and became a concubine in his own house, and the rest of the princes and nobles were beheaded when they arrived in the capital, but now the princess of the entire Eastern Xinjiang is the only one who has royal blood."

"Bastard thing!"

Chu Lingran really didn't know, looking at his angry appearance now proves that he still has a trace of blood, men are ambitious in all directions, women are also like this, a princess of a country, being so humiliated, how can she still deserve the title of a big country. If he had known about this before, before he left Dongying, he would have killed the beast to seek justice for the princess of the dead country.

"I understand, what happened back then has greatly benefited the current situation, and the lord of Rong'an is really unparalleled in the world."

He Qiyu could slowly understand why Chu Lingran would forget the hatred of his family and country and pursue a woman who knew that her heart was not clean, the light emitted by this woman no one could refuse, she was always so indifferent and confident, everything seemed to be able to plan step by step, gain insight into everything in the world, and use it. It wasn't for Ling Ran's friendship, he thought he would also be fall step by step by that woman's charm.

"It looks like we're going to win this battle. Ying'er, thank you, there is indeed that princess, Dongying is not afraid. ”

Chu Lingran had other plans in his heart, he didn't want to get involved in the eastern frontier too early, but his power grew stronger step by step, Mu Jinghong and the crown prince were jealous, and the battle situation above the court was becoming more and more unstable day by day.

"I know what you are thinking in your heart, can you tell me about your true power, if you can win, I will help you."

Mu Ruoying and Chu Lingran only need one look, and they already know each other's scheming and calculations in their hearts, Chu Lingran is thinking of taking the opportunity of waving the army to completely overthrow the He Dynasty, but if he really does that, he will reach the last step, if he is not completely sure, Mu Ruoying does not want to take this risk.

"The killer halls all over the rivers and lakes are my people. He Xiyou, the Dark Sea Tide Pavilion hired back then is the second killer pavilion in the rivers and lakes, He Xiyou please don't move the first, it is my Ember Burning Hall, about 100,000 masters, all over the Central Plains, but whenever I subdue the frontier, they will control the context of various places under an order, and the imperial court must be isolated and helpless. The soldiers on the frontier will also follow me to overthrow this dynasty, but Mu Jinghong has won the hearts of the people, and what I am doing now is not the will of the people, and the people will not believe that the next new monarch will be better. ”

He Qiyu never thought that Chu Lingran would give away all his ten years of hard work, he really trusted this woman so much, he wouldn't hurt him half a point in the future? Chu Lingran was really crazy, he thought that Chu Lingran would be able to sober up, but now it seems that Chu Lingran is just soberly watching himself sink step by step.

"Even so, then... We want the world, and we want the hearts of the people. ”

Mu Ruoying originally thought that Chu Lingran, the new emperor, and Mu Jinghong divided the world, but the other two probably didn't know that Chu Lingran actually controlled the entire world. This time when he went to Dongying, if Mu Ruoying could go with Chu Lingran, it would not be difficult to win the hearts of the people for him. It's just that... She is a woman, how should she fight on the battlefield with the army? As soon as the lord of Rong'an leaves, the world will be in turmoil, and the emperor and Mu Jinghong will inevitably be suspicious.

"Is there a way for Ying'er?"

"I'm not a god who reaches the sky, how can I have a way to win the hearts of the people in the world now? But... I'm going to go to Dongying with you no matter what, have you thought about it, what should I do? ”

"There are disguise masters in my branch, and His Royal Highness King Qi will go when the time comes, you... I don't want you to go. ”

Chu Lingran really didn't plan to take Mu Ruoying to Fuwan, he knew that if he brought Mu Ruoying, the aspirations of the people from all walks of life along the way would also become different. Mu Ruoying is the lord of Rong'an, she gave the people of Li people all over the world a chance to survive, once Chu Lingran sent troops, the people of the world would sell Mu Ruoying's face, but even so... Chu Lingran didn't want Mu Ruoying to go, Mu Ruoying was a little stunned.

"Why?"

"Ying'er, you have done everything you have done, when the time comes, if you hear rumors in the capital, you will go to the Jiangnan water town to settle down, and after I settle in the capital, I will send someone to pick you up, okay?"

Mu Ruoying finally understood, Chu Lingran didn't want to live a lifetime with the notoriety of killing his father and mother, even if Fuwan was in his pocket, Chu Lingran didn't want Mu Ruoying to take any risks, he was serious... I thought that for Mu Ruoying, I would pay sincerely. Mu Ruoying didn't know how to respond to this heart, and she knew that there was no escape, she was speechless, and the three of them quietly listened to the singing and dancing downstairs.

"It's time for us to go, Ling Ran."

"Yes, that's... I'll go home first. I'll pick you up tomorrow... Let's go to the princess of Dongjiang. ”

"Okay."

The three of them were about to turn around and go back to the house to do their own things, when they heard the eager voices of their attendants downstairs, Ling'er, Qingfeng, and the eunuch Bowen beside King Qi, and the three of them knew that they were in the palace... Something went wrong.

"Miss, the emperor came to the palace to announce that you and the master have entered the palace to discuss matters."

"Your Highness, go back quickly, the emperor will hold a banquet for the ministers today."

"General, it's time for you to enter the palace."
