Chapter 156: Adding fuel to the fire
Thanks to dgfdhgukh and conggege for the monthly passes, as well as the strong slippers, MARTIN2312, yanghe, and zelin for their support.
Walking out of the courtyard, Mrs. Diexiang's thin shoulders trembled slightly, her face was pale, and the liliang in her body seemed to be instantly withdrawn, leaning against the courtyard wall.
When Jiang Long came out, he saw Mrs. Diexiang crying suppressed, with tears on her face.
If you hadn't found the flaws of Mu Wuhou, such a great beauty pear blossom with rain, even Jiang Long would definitely feel pity.
But now, he was level-headed, and only faked a look of concern.
"Mu Wuhou has pain in his heart, and I ask my wife to be considerate."
"He is bitter in his heart, but is there no bitterness in the concubine's body and heart?" Mrs. Diexiang retorted with tears in her eyes, "For so many years, if it weren't for the painstaking management of the concubine, the Muwu Marquis Mansion would have been swallowed by some people a long time ago, and there would not even be a little scum left!"
The concubine worked hard, but in exchange for such a response.
It's okay for outsiders to insult the concubine, but he ......, "Speaking of zuihou, Mrs. Diexiang is crying!"
Jiang Long was originally very calm and secretly looked at it coldly, but after looking at it for a while, he found that Mrs. Diexiang's crying and sadness seemed to be partly true.
He was just a little surprised.
And puzzled.
Obviously, she and Mu Wuhou acted together to show themselves, and even when she was in the main hall before, she had designed the plot in advance, and guessed that she might take the initiative to ask to visit Mu Wuhou here.
Of course, if she doesn't take the initiative to come, Mrs. Diexiang said that she is meeting guests, and she will go over later, and then Mu Wuhou will take the initiative to go to the main hall.
Could it be that Mrs. Diexiang is a natural actor, and she really got into the play?
Jiang Long's mind turned, and it was also possible that there was a rift between Lady Diexiang and Mu Wuhou!
This is good news for him.
Strong fortresses are often dismantled from within.
Jiang Long pretended to be concerned, took out the silk handkerchief in his sleeve, took a few steps forward, reached out with his right hand, and helped Mrs. Diexiang wipe her tears with a distressed face.
He sighed and said, "I can understand the bitterness in your heart." ”
Mrs. Diexiang couldn't help but feel sour, and her crying became louder.
Jiang Long hesitated, stretched out his left hand, and gently wrapped it around Lady Diexiang's waist.
Mrs. Diexiang's delicate body stiffened suddenly, and she quickly retreated, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes with tears in her eyes.
Very sensitive!
Jiang Long was a little surprised, didn't he say that Mrs. Diexiang had stayed in the Imperial Palace, Xiangwang Mansion, and many noble families?
Otherwise, the reputation would not be so bad, and the fame will become the number one target that all adult men in the capital want to hunt for beauty.
How can the body be so sensitive?
Like you've never been so close to a man?
Lady Diexiang's delicate body stiffened instantly, which was definitely the instinct of the body.
It's not pretended.
and Mrs. Diexiang's beautiful eyes, that touch of panic, even if she was a movie in her previous life, she couldn't act so real.
"It's abrupt." Jiang Long hurriedly put on an apologetic face.
Mrs. Diexiang glanced at Jiang Long, and quickly lowered her head, "The prince also cares about the concubine, and I can't help it." ”
"Madame, it's good to understand."
The two of them started and walked towards the courtyard from before.
There was silence all the way, and no one spoke again.
Mrs. Diexiang felt a little embarrassed, and her pretty face was a little hot, and the place around her waist that was hugged by Jiang Long before had an indescribable feeling.
Jiang Long was much calmer, of course, the look on his face was pretending to be restrained.
"Butterfly incense!"
The two were walking, and at the gate of a courtyard in front of them, a young man wearing a golden cloak suddenly flashed.
Jiang Long raised his eyes.
King Xiang!
"Greetings to His Royal Highness King Xiang!" Mrs. Diexiang hurriedly took a few steps forward and bowed her knees.
King Xiang wanted to reach out and help, but was avoided by Mrs. Diexiang.
Jiang Long also bowed his hand.
Fortunately, King Xiang is just a prince, and if he sees the prince, Jiang Long will have to kneel.
"Why are you crying? Who bullied you? King Xiang originally ignored others directly, but when he saw that there were still tears in the corners of Mrs. Diexiang's eyes, his face was cold, and his eyes were full of murderous anger and looked at Jiang Long.
Jiang Long couldn't help frowning.
The few guards who followed behind King Xiang felt the emotions of their master, and took a few steps forward to faintly surround Jiang Long.
Jiang Long is not afraid of King Xiang, but the other party is the eldest prince after all, and if there is a conflict, it will be troublesome.
He was about to introduce himself, tell his identity, and let King Xiang restrain himself, a big man like King Xiang would not remember him because he had met him in the apricot forest before, Mrs. Diexiang seemed to notice that something was wrong, and finally opened her mouth, "It has nothing to do with this Jing Gongzi, it's the Hou Ye ......."
Several of the guards paused and looked at King Xiang.
King Xiang waved his hand lightly, and then said softly: "I told you not to go to see him, but you didn't listen." ”
"It's this Jing Gongzi......" Mrs. Diexiang raised her head and glanced at Jiang Long timidly.
Jiang Long couldn't guess what Mrs. Diexiang was going to do, and suddenly amplified his voice, "Grass people Jing Jianglong, I've seen His Royal Highness King Xiang!" ”
Mrs. Diexiang said half of the words, so that King Dexiang thought that Jiang Long insisted on coming to see Muwuhou, and Mrs. Diexiang had to accompany her.
His face was already gloomy.
wanted to attack Jiang Long, but after hearing Jiang Long's loud introduction, the momentum on his body stagnated.
Jingjiang Dragon?
The only male in Jingfu, Ningyuan County?
Although King Xiang still looked unhappy, he had a hint of taboo.
Mrs. Diexiang lowered her head at this time, and the meaning on her face was incomprehensible.
"Last time in Xinglin, did you guess Diexiang's thoughts?" King Xiang remembered.
Jiang Long's expression was neither humble nor arrogant, "I was lucky enough to get a reward of one thousand taels from His Royal Highness King Xiang." ”
King Xiang's gaze at this time was wandering on the bodies of Jiang Long and Mrs. Diexiang, his eyes flickering.
I wonder if Mrs. Diexiang and Jiang Long are secretly in love.
Jiang Long can guess Mrs. Diexiang's thoughts, which shows that there is a tacit understanding between the two.
It is possible to fall in love with each other.
But King Xiang has always regarded Mrs. Diexiang as his own forbidden belly!
After Mrs. Diexiang noticed something, she didn't explain, but a blush appeared on her face, and when she lowered her head, she glanced at Jiang Long, revealing a shy and timid look.
Jiang Long is frowning, what is this Lady Diexiang going to do?
Provoke King Xiang to misunderstand and do it to himself?
However, even if he guessed Mrs. Diexiang's purpose, Jiang Long did not take the initiative to explain.
He has his own pride, and when he opens his mouth to explain, he loses in momentum.
It's tantamount to losing soft.
King Xiang's face became more and more ugly.
The atmosphere became tense for a while.
King Xiang's guard pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist again.
At this time, Jiang Long lowered his head and slowly took out an object from his sleeve and played with it in his hand, which was a dagger that reflected a light blue light.
Seeing this dagger, King Xiang's expression froze.
Last time on the Xinglin side, King Huai wanted to rob Lin Ya, but Jiang Long showed his dagger.
Afterwards, the matter was naturally spread by some people.
Jiang Long is not afraid of King Huai, who kills people like hemp, and naturally he will not be afraid of King Xiang.
Although King Xiang was angry, he didn't want to make a big deal out of it.
But let him retreat at this time, but he can't afford to lose this face.
Just when King Xiang was in a dilemma, a loud voice suddenly sounded through the courtyard wall, "Diexiang, where are you?" ”
The stalemate atmosphere was broken, and King Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, but his brows were also furrowed.
Because the person who came was King Huai!
"Here." King Xiang snorted coldly, turned around and looked in the direction of the courtyard gate.
“haha!” King Huai gave a hearty daxiao, "It turns out that the eldest brother is also here." As the sound landed, a rush of footsteps sounded, and a moment later, the figure of King Huai appeared in front of the courtyard gate.
King Huai is also here, this is really lively.
Jiang Long touched his chin and secretly guessed whether it was an accidental coincidence, or someone did it on purpose.
It's not difficult to design, Mrs. Diexiang is good friends with King Xiang, so she naturally knows that King Xiang will come here today.
It's good to invite yourself to come today.
As for King Huai, this person is crazy, stubborn, and also covets the beauty of Mrs. Diexiang, as long as he goes through the news and says that a man will come to visit Mrs. Diexiang in the Muwuhou Mansion today, he will take the initiative to come.
"It's a coincidence, but I don't know what happened when the third brother came to Muwuhou Mansion today?" King Xiang looks like a master.
King Huai didn't answer, and his bold gaze was naturally aimed at the sensitive place on Lady Diexiang's delicate body for the first time.
However, he hadn't had time to show his squinting appearance, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Jiang Long.
was stunned at first, and then looked at Jiang Long with murderous aura.
Jiang Long offended him last time in the apricot forest, he wanted to recommend Jiang Long to be an official and fight with the prince, but he didn't want to be smashed in the head by the emperor, which made him lose face and didn't dare to go out for several days.
Since this method can't be used, he plans to assassinate Jiang Long directly.
But he didn't think that he hadn't come before he could practice jihua, so he saw Jiang Long first.
Jiang Long turned a blind eye to King Huai's murderous aura, and bent down slightly: "The grass people Jing Jianglong has seen His Royal Highness King Huai. ”
"Humph!" King Huai saw the dagger in Jiang Long's hand and forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart.
The gold medal of Jingfu is not an ornament, it represents a supreme honor, and it is the emperor's maintenance of Jingfu, even if he is the prince and prince, if he dares to kill Jiang Long in broad daylight, he will not be able to bear the responsibility.
Maybe the emperor won't want his life.
But at least it is also degraded to civilians, and it is distributed to the frontier.
It's better to live like that than to die.
King Huai narrowed his eyes and glared at Jiang Long coldly, "Why are you here?" ”
"This is not the Huai Wang's Mansion." Jiang Long shrugged and chuckled.
It means that you don't need to report to King Huai in advance and ask for King Huai's consent when you come here.
The murderous aura on King Huai's body became a little heavier, he laughed fiercely, his eyes were full of fierce light, and he threatened: "There are some places where not everyone can come in!" ”
"The grass people privately think that as long as there are no ghosts in their hearts, they can go to the world." Jiang Long did not show weakness and fought-for-tat.
After that, he no longer paid attention to King Huai and King Xiang, and arched his hand to Mrs. Diexiang and said, "Madame wants to entertain the two princes, and I will say goodbye first." ”
Mrs. Diexiang's purpose of inviting Jiang Long to the mansion was not achieved, and she wanted to keep it, but Jiang Long didn't give her a chance, and raised her legs in the direction of the courtyard gate.
Several of King Huai's guards were blocking the door, but King Huai did not speak, and they did not give way.
Jiang Long just sneered, and with a slight wave of his right hand holding the dagger, a cold light slashed at the throat of one of the guards.
The guards did not dare to fight back, so they could only retreat.
Jiang Long put away his dagger and continued to move forward.
"How daring!"
Staring at Jiang Long's back, which had already walked away, King Huai's face was gloomy and dripping.
Dare to make a move to his own guards, beat the dog and look at the owner, this is simply a naked provocation of his majesty!
King Xiang's heart moved, and he said: "This Jing Gongzi doesn't seem to take the third brother in his eyes." ”
This is adding fuel to the fire!
"Don't worry about it!" King Huai roared, his eyes red, like an enraged beast!
