Chapter 52: Why Don't You Dare?
.lā
This was different from Yi Lanshan's meeting that day, Ye Qing did not reveal his identity at that time, and Ge Sheng, as a saint disciple, was also qualified to participate in the transaction between Ye Qing and Yi Lanshan.
But this time was different.
Ren Qiuke's identity is the Lord of Tianlan City, one of the members of the Council of Ten.
Ye Qing is the youngest princess of the Lanye Empire, and her every move represents the attitude of the Lanye Empire.
If a meeting of this specification is not deliberately permitted, it is difficult for a third person to attend it.
Therefore, Ye Qing simply took out the letter wrapped in magic patterns from the space package, bowed his head and handed it to Ren Qiuke with a slight respect.
"Ye Qing, fortunately not disgraced."
Her identity at this time is a messenger privately entrusted by Lan Mu, no matter how high the standard of the messenger is, the essence of her identity will not change.
So when she handed over the scarlet envelope, she did so with simplicity and humility.
Don't be fooled by this girl who was not in shape in the past, the education she received when she was a child was among the top among the princesses of the imperial family, and the young princess has always been known for being a scholar.
Ren Qiuke simply took the letterhead, his fingertips swept over the cover, and a wisp of sword qi ran along the magic pattern for a circle, and then the envelope was opened smoothly.
This handwritten letter from Lan Mu looked very short, but it was only the length of a page, but Ye Qing stood down and watched Ren Qiuke look at it for half an hour.
At this time, the place where they are naturally not the high and cold Moon Gazing Terrace, there is a warm and comfortable warm pavilion in the Moon Moon Villa, Ye Qing watched Ren Qiuke finally finish reading the thin letter paper, and the boulder that was always hanging in his heart fell to the ground.
"City Lord, can my mission be considered complete?"
Lanmu's task is naturally well paid, but the most lucrative thing is actually this favor.
He used his favor to let Ren Qiuke and Ye Qing meet, even if he didn't write a word on this piece of paper, an imperial princess crossed the huge northern snow to Tianlan City, which in itself was a heavy enough gift.
But Ren Qiuke's answer was a little hesitant.
He is a city lord with a clear sword heart, and he is a heavenly realm with a high realm, so he shouldn't have hesitated for this simple answer, but when he hesitated, it was naturally a problem.
"Lan Mu said at the end of the letter that this letter should be read by you, princess." Ren Qiuke's answer was short and direct.
"But my judgment is that the princess should not read this letter for the time being."
Ye Qing couldn't help but raise her pale blue eyebrows.
She tilted her head slightly, and a somewhat willful smile appeared on her face, like a lion cub who saw danger on the edge of a cliff but still approached step by step, and every step she approached, she gambled on her dignity.
"Show me." Ye Qing said simply.
She only said three words, but the content of those three words was a command, not a request.
Ren Qiuke nodded, and the page flew lightly in front of Ye Qing without wind, Ye Qing reached out and grabbed it, opened it gently, and read it.
"Ren Qiuke City Lord personally opened.
The sender of the letter is Ye Qing, the ninth princess, and the date of arrival is no later than January 12, so this letter is considerable.
If the above conditions are not met, the letter will be destroyed.
The situation in Tianlan City is roughly understood, the details are slightly deviated, and the astrological theory is not dangerous. You and I are not obedient to the mandate of heaven, and we listen to them in vain.
The Dragonbone Lich is becoming more active, but the Empire is not sure of victory, so please indulge in the Lich's activities as a matter of principle.
The third princess, Ye Luan, has secretly set off and will arrive at Yanshi on January 12. The princess should be the queen of Ster, and this matter is shared by the royal family and the imperial parliament.
I don't worry about the nine princesses, so I send this letter to the princess to you, the princess arrives, before January 30, please keep the princess in Tianlan.
Give this letter to the Ninth Princess to read for herself. ”
Ye Qing finished reading the content of the letter word by word, it was obviously only a page of content, Ye Qing actually read it for half a quarter of an hour, until she read the end for the last time, then she raised her head coldly and said with a smile: "Ren Qiuke, you dare to stop me?" ”
Even if Ren Qiuke had already learned about the true nature of this princess from the secret conversations at the top level, he also knew what she did in Marshal Lan Ying's room half a year ago.
But even so, he didn't expect that the girl who was gentle and humble just now would be extremely aggressive in an instant.
In the end, all she relied on was the identity of the Nine Princesses, but she was the only one who could use this identity in this way since the establishment of the three empires.
Lanmu's letter mainly talks about four pieces of information, but on the whole, it is two things.
The demonic beasts near Tianlan City are abnormal, and I am afraid that there will be an unprecedented beast tide, but according to the astrological results, Tianlan City will not be affected too much.
The source of the monster anomaly is suspected to be the Dragonbone Lich, but the Empire does not intend to turn against the Dragonbone Lich anytime soon, so don't take the initiative to take action against the Dragonbone Lich.
This thing is about the recent situation in Tianlan City, the information written by Lan Mu himself, naturally it is impossible to forge it, the cause of the beast tide, the hazard prediction, and the mastermind behind the scenes, including the attitude of the empire, are all in it, with this information, Ren Qiuke can fully grasp the opportunity.
The second thing, however, is a matter of state.
The third princess, Ye Luan, will secretly marry Emperor Sturt, and this matter will be supported by the royal family and the Imperial Diet.
In this way, the huge pressure on the northern realm was immediately relieved, and there was no need to worry about the invasion that the terrifying young emperor could launch at any time.
These two things are big things, and they are too good to be good, and they are important secrets, even if Ren Qiuke is a member of the ten-person council, he is qualified to know this information, but he lives in Tianlan all the year round, and basically does not go to the imperial capital to participate in the council, and the Northern Wilderness Snow Field has changed, and magic communication has been cut off, so he can only get the information he wants from the hands of a special messenger.
But the fourth thing seems to be subordinate to the tail of the third thing, because Lan Mu is worried that the ninth princess will be in the way in this matter - you know, Ye Qing also has the status of a royal family that cannot be shaken by thunder, if it weren't for the fact that Ye Qing has been trekking the Northern Wilderness Snow Plains for the past ten days and can't get any news from the outside world, then as long as she has the heart, she can rush back to the imperial capital within the necessary time and make a complete fuss in her way.
However, no one would take such a thirteen-year-old princess in their eyes, thinking that it was impossible for her to overturn this important matter of the family and country that had been decided.
So from the point of view of those who are pushing for this matter, this is more of a protection for Ye Qing to stay out of the matter.
But judging from this letter, Lan Mu really thinks that if Ye Qing is still in Lanlan, then the outcome of the matter is really uncertain.
But in this way, Lanmu is the biggest loser in this behavior.
He originally offended Her Royal Highness the princess by sending Ye Qing to Lanlan, but now he asked Ren Qiuke to confine Ye Qing in Tianlan City, which not only consumed Ren Qiuke's great favor, after all, Ren Qiuke no matter what the purpose was, even if the royal family did not trouble him for her identity, but Ye Qing was greatly offended.
This loss is naturally compensated by Lanmu.
Although as the second head of the family surnamed Lan, the city lord of Lanlan City, he can still barely bear the anger of a royal princess, but if you consider that this princess not only has a bright future, but also has a very personal friendship with him, such behavior is really incomprehensible.
Take another 10,000 steps back and say, Lan Mu can completely put all this underwater.
Tianlan City was in a critical situation, and he entrusted the Ninth Princess to deliver a letter, just like he had persuaded Ye Qing at the beginning, this was a beautiful difference with a rich reward and everyone taking what they needed, but during this period, a resolution about the Third Princess was unfortunately produced.
As for the hospitality that Ye Qing received after arriving in Tianlan City, he was happy and unknowingly in February, which is not an unacceptable thing.
This is the smoothest development process, each takes their own favors, and a circle of exchange becomes a small interest group, even if the ninth princess is temporarily reminiscent of people, but after all, it is a growing little beast. Whatever you calculate, it's all accidental, Uncle Lanmu is a gentle and kind city lord with Hemeimei, how could he calculate a princess with all his heart?
But Lan Mu put all this on the water.
He told Ye Qing what he had done before, including his plans in the future, to Ye Qing, and then she made a decision.
So even Ren Qiuke, when he saw the last sentence written by Lan Mu on the letter, would hesitate and say, "The princess shouldn't read this letter for the time being." ”
But at this time, in the face of the questioning of the ninth princess by name, the Tianlan City Lord smiled lightly, and his blandness revealed endless confidence.
"Why don't you dare?"
