Chapter 178: Be Proactive
Ling Chi's scene was bloody and cruel, and Rao was the people who were watching with great interest at the beginning, and at this time, they were all uncomfortable when they saw the scene of the real living people being cut into a pile of dead flesh and white bones with a knife, some people widened their eyes, and some people couldn't hold on and fled.
The number of onlookers in front of the noon gate was immediately reduced by half.
The autumn wind sent a faint bloody gas, and Chu Junlan saw Ma Yan's screaming and wailing in pain, and there was no wave in his heart. Xiao Xu beside him took a step forward as if unintentionally, just blocking her vision.
The blood-drenched picture turned into Xiao Xu's upright back, Chu Junlan couldn't help but smile, the small pear vortex on his cheek seemed to be filled with honey, and he even forgot the heaviness and doubts that he knew at first glance that Lu's death might be related to Chu Cailiang.
On the other side of the crowd, Ye Yi's eyes gradually crossed the execution ground, and he was looking at Chu Junlan's figure intently, although the distance was still far away, and he couldn't see his face clearly, but this did not prevent him from appreciating her. Who knew that Xiao Xu actually moved his steps to block the person, and glanced at him coldly.
Ye Yi gradually felt depressed, and it was not good to take the initiative to come up and talk from afar, not to mention that Xiao Xu followed step by step, so he turned around and walked out of the crowd.
Kunshan breathed a sigh of relief: "My mother, the execution is really not something that anyone can watch, and the little one is afraid that he will have to eat two bowls of rice less when he goes back." ”
Ye Yijian did not answer.
Kunshan carefully observed Ye Yi's expression, and saw that his face was heavy, as if someone owed him money, and knew that Gongzi must be unhappy because of Miss Chu again, so he obediently shut up and said no more.
Halfway through Ling's delay, Ma Yan couldn't shout anymore.
Chu Cailiang was full of happiness, gritted his teeth and said, "You deserve it!" Ungrateful and assassinating the Holy Driver, this kind of person is cheap for him! He should be fed to the dogs! ”
The old lady's face was already pale with fright, and at this time, she thought of the scene of "feeding the dog", and vomited "wow" on the spot.
The filth was sour and bloody, and when she vomited, many people's throats were also filled with malice, and several family members of the Chu family also vomited.
"Let's go, go back quickly, don't look at it, don't look at it." The old lady patted his chest and shook his head again and again, "When you go back, pack your luggage and leave the capital quickly, it's too dangerous!" ”
Zhou and Chu Caijun nodded again and again when they heard this, and helped the old lady to leave without saying hello to Chu Cailiang, for fear that Chu Cailiang would still be worried about returning to his hometown with his family.
Chu Cailiang turned his head and watched the figure of the old lady and his party disappear from sight, before he snorted mockingly, turned around and said, "Let's go, we will go too." ”
Aunt Sun and Aunt Su nodded again and again with a pale face as if they had been pardoned.
When the second prince Xiao Che saw that Chu Junlan's family was leaving, he couldn't help frowning, and said directly to Chu Cailiang: "I still have something to talk to Miss Chu." ”
Xiao Xu stood beside Chu Junlan and looked at Xiao Che with a cold look in his eyes. Chu Cailiang once ignored Chu Junlan's intentions and ordered her to accompany Xiao Che out to watch a play with a married woman.
Chu Cailiang said unexpectedly: "Second Highness, if you have something to tell Sister Lan, just ask her what she means." He saluted, turned and left.
This method really surprised Chu Junlan. Chu Cailiang actually changed sex? Could it be that he lost his official position, and he didn't expect to be promoted to become rich, but he had a little more human touch?
"Second Highness, please have something to say." Chu Junlan smiled.
Xiao Che looked at Xiao Xu again: "I have something I want to say to Miss Chu alone." ”
Although Xiao Che was dressed simply at this time, he was full of royal momentum, and the life of a perennial superior made him accustomed to giving orders, and he never thought that anyone would dare to disobey.
In particular, the person in front of him is still a clan relative who is not in an optimistic situation.
Who knew that Xiao Xu refused to give in at all, "You please, I won't intervene in the future." ”
Xiao Che immediately sank his face.
What a thing that doesn't know how to lift! Seeing him pretending to be noble with such a cold face, Xiao Che even felt that Xiao Xu in front of him was not as pleasing to the eye as when he was stupid before!
After a while, Xiao Che laughed mockingly: "It seems that the prince is now extremely confident in himself. That's right, your stupidity is cured, King Gongding should also favor you more, and I think you will inherit the title in the future, right? ”
But in fact, King Gongding has always ignored Xiao Xu and left him to fend for himself.
It's a threat!
"I lend you good words." Xiao Xu's oil and salt did not enter, and he did not let half a step.
Xiao Che suppressed his anger, "Interesting, these days, any nobody can be a big brother." ”
Chu Junlan's face turned cold.
"If Your Royal Highness is okay, we will go back first, my brother is still in a coma, I don't worry." As he spoke, he turned around and called Xiao Xu, "I'm tired of sending me back." ”
Xiao Xu nodded expressionlessly, saluted Xiao Che, and when he turned around, he looked at Chu Junlan's slender back walking in front of him, and couldn't help but smile softly in his eyes.
A dignified prince was left hanging out in place like that, Xiao Che couldn't believe that he was thrown away by Chu Junlan like this! Being treated so coldly on a little woman is unprecedented!
All his love was burned with anger, and he turned back to the palace angrily.
Could it be that in his capacity, if he wants a people's girl, he will come?
He wanted to see how long she could be tough!
Chu Cailiang and Aunt Sun had already taken the car back first, Chu Junlan's mule cart was still parked on the side of the road, the driver sat in the wheel, hugged his shoulders and slept and nodded, Chu Junlan stood in front of the mule cart and he didn't wake up.
Chu Junlan snapped his fingers with his right hand, and the driver opened his eyes.
"Oh, Miss Three, you're back. The little ones are lazy. Don't be surprised. ”
"It doesn't matter. There were a lot of things going on at home yesterday, and I don't blame you. ”
The driver was busy bringing the black lacquered stool for stepping feet on the ground, but Chu Junlan didn't look at it, and jumped into the car lightly, shocking the driver.
Xiao Xu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed again, now that he looked at Chu Junlan's small actions, he didn't feel undignified at all, but he was reckless and cute everywhere.
The fair-skinned Su hand lifted the car curtain, and behind the dark blue curtain was Chu Junlan's delicate little face like jade.
"Get in the car."
Xiao Xu immediately retracted his steps to lead the horse, and got into the car with good spirits.
The curtain was lowered, the light became dim, and in the narrow space, the two faced each other with their knees against their knees, Chu Junlan didn't notice anything, but Xiao Xu felt that his heart was pounding, and he moved his legs uncomfortably.
Chu Junlan looked at his awkward sitting posture in the narrow mule cart and his long legs that had nowhere to put it, and couldn't help laughing: "My mule cart is too narrow. It's better to let you go horseback riding. ”
"Nope." Xiao Xu's gaze softened.
"How did you meet the Second Highness today? He is a very strong and domineering person, he rarely cares about the feelings of others when he speaks and acts, and you don't have to take anything he says to heart. ”
Thinking of Xiao Che's sarcastic words just now, Chu Junlan felt a little unhappy in his heart.
Xiao Xu frowned again when he saw her, and said gently: "It's okay, I'm used to it." ”
He said this with a smile, but it really made Chu Junlan's brows furrow deeper.
Thinking that Xiao Xu relied on pretending to be stupid to survive when he was young, and later in order to resist the first poison, he had no choice but to take the second poison and turn his body into a battlefield for the fight against poisons, he paid a huge price, but he just survived.
Compared with those who have had a smooth ride, it is really not easy for Xiao Xu to grow up so far.
Xiao Xu is not a cowardly person, he has developed to the point where he is today, and he never relies on anyone's sympathy, let alone likes to be sympathized with by anyone, because only the weak will be sympathized, which is an insult to him.
But Chu Junlan's pity, he cherished it extraordinarily.
Because this proves that Chu Junlan has him in his heart, not only does he care about her feelings, but she also cares about him.
Unwilling to see her unhappy for an irrelevant person, Xiao Xu said: "I entered the palace today to ask for peace, and I met His Royal Highness." ”
"Greetings?"
"Yes, Concubine Shu learned from Princess Gongding that I have recovered. Want to see me. ”
Chu Junlan nodded, and couldn't help but sigh: "She is doing this, and she has regarded herself as the mother of a country?" ”
"There is no owner in the six palaces, and she is in charge of the phoenix seal."
No wonder the sixth prince would be such a domineering person, I think he was spoiled by a capable and backstage concubine.
"Junlan."
"Huh?" Xiao Xu's deep voice interrupted her musings.
Xiao Xu said: "There has been something in the DPRK recently, and the Chu family is afraid that it will be involved in my family." ”
"Oh?" Chu Junlan raised his eyebrows, raised his wrist lightly, and pulled his broken hair behind his ears, "The Chu family has been unlucky like this, what else can be involved?" Tell me about it. ”
Xiao Xu couldn't help but laugh when she amused her, and smiled and didn't open his eyes.
He rarely smiled like this, and his cold face had never been flattering, but now when he showed his face, he changed his usual coldness, and instead revealed a little childishness.
Chu Junlan wanted to touch his head, but she really reached out to do so.
Xiao Xu's reaction was sharp, and he had already noticed it when Chu Junlan stretched out his hand, but he suppressed his instinctive action of dodging and cooperated to let her touch his head.
Chu Junlan smiled: "Is it so funny? ”
Xiao Xu nodded.
"I've never seen you smile like this," Chu Junlan pinched his cheek again, and smiled under Xiao Xu's surprised gaze, "Smile more in the future, it still looks good to laugh." ”
Xiao Xu's face suddenly seemed to be lit by someone, and he coughed and changed the topic: "Do you know about the war in the Northern Yuan?" ”
Chu Junlan saw that he really couldn't erase it, and he didn't tease him anymore, so he nodded with a smile and said, "I've heard it, didn't it say that the big Han Borno in the eastern part of the Northern Yuan Dynasty unified the Northern Yuan?" ”
"Yes." Xiao Xu said, "Borno now has 150,000 soldiers outside the northern Xinjiang, and he has written a letter asking the emperor to make him the 'co-lord of the grassland'." ”
Chu Junlan's body is raised in the deep boudoir, and she doesn't know much about the outside world, so she doesn't understand it for a while.
Xiao Xu said patiently: "Dayong is strong and prosperous, and the peaceful and prosperous era leads all countries to come to the court, and the emperor of the Dayong Dynasty is regarded as the 'co-lord of the world' by the world, that is, the Northern Yuan, even if he is not as subservient to Dayong as Goguryeo, he does not dare to offend easily." ”
Chu Junlan suddenly said: "So Borno Khan's move is tantamount to provoking the emperor." ”
Chen Bing 150,000, and then proposed to let Emperor Dayong recognize him as the "co-lord of the grassland", isn't this threatening Emperor Dayong to deny that he is the "co-lord of the world"?
"That's the case, why is it involved in the Dao Wangfu and the Chu family?" Chu Junlan asked suspiciously.
