Chapter 52: Demon Slaying, Royal Crisis
The jade suddenly increased its combat effectiveness, Tang Ning's situation was critical, Ouyang Xun waved a brocade fan and attacked the demonized jade, and Li Zhan's long sword also volatilized in an instant.
However, the broken blade in Tang Ning's hand played an unexpected role at this time, inserting it into the jade heart in an almost strange posture.
A straight cut, clean and clean.
At the same time, Ouyang Xun's brocade fan and Li Zhan's sword also pierced into Jade's body.
The stab of the sharp blade led to a chaotic gas, and in a puff of white smoke, Jade, who had regained her senses when she was dying, opened her mouth, but lay on the ground without saying anything.
"Jade, I will take you back to your hometown......" Ouyang Xun sighed and closed Jade's eyes with his hand.
Although there was a knife stuck in her body, Jade died unusually peacefully, and she felt a sense of relief. Most of the green of her body had dispersed, and her body had returned to its original color. Except for the silver hair, there was nothing to show that she had been demonized during her lifetime.
Downing glanced at the corpse and moved with his hand on her body, as if looking for something.
"King Li was attacked by demons, and Princess Jade was implicated for no reason, was victimized by thieves, and turned into a demon. The jade princess attacked everyone, and King Li was helpless and beheaded her. Li Zhan pondered for a moment, and wanted to conclude the coffin of Jade's death in one sentence.
"Emperor Xiliang knew that she came out without permission, so I asked me to escort her back. This time, she could only escort her body back. The main reason for the matter of jade is me, it is because I am not well protected, so that it is harmed by thieves, and I will admit my mistake to Emperor Xiliang. ”
In the Li Wang's Mansion, Li Zhan can't get away with it. However, Jade ran out for Ouyang Xun, and he couldn't get away with it.
This time, whether it was Ouyang Xun or Li Zhan, they all took the responsibility on themselves, completely letting Tang Ning ignore the matter.
But, Downing, can you really stay out of the way?
"Summer is coming soon, and it will take seven days to travel from here to Xiliang, so prepare an ice coffin first to protect her body. Also, I'm going to catch the demon tonight. ”
As Tang Ning spoke, he took out a black worm from the jadeite's body, and the worm seemed to be dying, but when it came to Tang Ning's hands, it began to jump around.
"Let someone find a mouse, I guess there's a good show to watch tonight." Tang Ning looked at the black bug, and a ghostly light flashed in his eyes.
Jade's posture before her death was clearly about to kill Tang Ning.
Since someone wanted to harm her, she took them out and saw who they were.
Li Wangfu's action was very fast, and after a while, a white mouse appeared in front of Tang Ning, Tang Ning took the mouse, I don't know what method was used, and when he changed his hand, the black insect was gone.
Li Zhan looked at Tang Ning, his gaze deepened a lot. He couldn't imagine if Downing had put such a worm on him......
Tang Ning raised his head, as if he knew what Li Zhan was thinking, and said with some sarcasm, "The prince doesn't have to look at me with that kind of gaze. This kind of Gu worm is very rare, the prince's body protection skills are very powerful, even the reaction to the poison is just like this, there are really not many things in the world that can hurt you. ”
The injury on Li Zhan's arm, Tang Ning didn't see it. She was annoyed that Li Zhan's self-righteous protection made her feel uneasy.
Li Zhan's intervention made Tang Ning feel very contradictory, this person always hurt her and didn't believe her, but he was desperate to protect her. She didn't know why Li Zhan was doing this, but she was very uneasy in her heart.
Tang Ning was annoyed, and was going to make some arrangements in the palace in person, but in the end, he talked to Li Zhan and Ouyang Xun about it, and then turned around and went back to the room.
Ouyang Xun looked at Tang Ning's back, and for a while, Tang Ning's attention was always on Li Zhan's body, which made him a little uncomfortable. The two of them were obviously doing the same, and he didn't understand why she paid more attention to Li Zhan than him.
"Ouyang, she is my wife." Li Zhan looked at Ouyang Xun looking at Tang Ning's back, a little displeased.
"But, I like her." I like this kind of thing the most.
Ouyang Xun replied very frankly, but Li Zhan couldn't help but be angry when he heard it. If it weren't for Ouyang Xun being his old friend, he would have drawn a knife against him.
Li Zhan forcibly suppressed his anger before saying, "Anything can be discussed, only her." ”
It was only this woman, and he didn't want to share it with anyone.
"Li Zhan, I've already broken the boat."
The four words of breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat, Ouyang Xun said very heavily. At the time, I felt that such a decision was a bit heavy, but now I don't regret it.
Looking at Li Zhan's thoughtful expression, Ouyang Xun said with some self-deprecation, "Everyone in the world says that I am unruly, who knows that I have always followed the rules, and every step is calculated from time to time." In everyone's life, there will be a few things that do what they want, and when I saw her turn away to me that day, I decided that I would break the boat for her. You know, she treated me differently. ”
Women's instincts are accurate, and men's instincts are good. Ouyang Xun knew that he was different in Tang Ning's heart, he had killed this difference with his own hands, and now he ...... But I want to pick up the past.
"Ouyang, I didn't expect that we would fall in love with the same woman." In the face of such a frank and painful Ouyang Xun, Li Zhan couldn't draw his sword like forgetting worries, and years of friendship made him feel a little sympathetic to Ouyang Xun.
"Li Zhan, please be kind to her. Because, whether I get her in the end or not, I want her to be happy. ”
Burdened with deep hatred alone, no one can imagine that kind of dark day, he once vowed to go to the highest peak of power and trample all living beings under his feet. But halfway through, I realized that life doesn't have to be that way. He suddenly had something to worry about and something he couldn't give up. He forced himself to give up, but when he gave up, he found that he was reluctant.
When he saw Li Zhan being stabbed several times in retaliation by Tang Ning, he actually thought that it would be good if he was stabbed by himself. However, the woman ignored him.
In the days of suffering, he suddenly wanted to be willful for once. Therefore, he flew thousands of miles to Xiliang and dissolved his marriage contract with Jade. On the road, he often wondered if he would regret it. However, in the end, his worries about the woman trumped everything, and he was glad that he had made his decision.
Ouyang Xun left after speaking, and Li Zhan stood in place with an inexplicable expression. It wasn't until Tang Ning sent someone to send a pair of medicine patches that the anger in his whole body was alleviated a lot.
Li Zhan didn't care what Tang Ning sent, and stuck it directly on his arm. The slightest coolness from above made his burning arm feel refreshed. I don't know what Tang Ning put on it, and the high swollen place on Li Zhan's arm actually faded away at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.
"Did she say anything?" After thinking for a while, Li Zhan pretended to be indifferent and asked.
The princess said......" The secret guard looked at Li Zhan and revealed joy in his bones, not knowing whether he wanted to say it or not.
"Say!" As soon as the dark guard was silent, Li Zhan's originally somewhat happy mood immediately disappeared, how could he forget what good things Tang Ning could say with his disrespectful attitude, but in his heart, Li Zhan faintly looked forward to Tang Ning's concern.
Looking forward to the gifts falling from the sky like a child, Li Zhan faintly looked forward to Tang Ning's obedience and concern for him.
But the words of the secret guard made Li Zhan's tenderness come to naught for a moment.
The woman told him not to meddle in his business, she has the ability to block all dangers.
As a prince, as a general, and as a man, Li Zhan felt that his dignity had been challenged.
Could it be that a person like him would let his woman face everything alone!!
Although Li Zhan was angry in his heart, he didn't show it on the surface. "What is she doing now?"
"Ouyang Xun went to the cottage where the princess used to live, and he seemed to want to explain something, but the princess just dispensed medicine for the princess and ignored him."
The dark guard's words made Li Zhan's mood inexplicably better.
Just when Li Zhan, who was in a good mood, was about to go to Tang Ning, Li Xia was followed by two soldiers carrying boxes and walked over.
"The prince is well. What the prince ordered a few days ago, I will now have people bring things. Ignorance...... General Tang can be convenient. Li Zhan didn't ask yet, Li Xia replied with a smile on his face.
"Sir, I'm still so efficient." Li Zhan looked at the box and spoke very unintentionally.
Faced with Li Zhan's slightly unhappy words, Li Xia hurriedly laughed, "Doing things for the prince, subordinates are naturally dedicated." ”
Yixiang Pavilion just let Tang Ning make a lot of money as soon as he transformed, Li Xia has been watching her for a long time, and now it is rare for Li Zhan to speak, he naturally will not give up this great opportunity.
"Concubine Tang is in the backyard, it's very convenient, this king will go with you." Li Zhan said and walked to the backyard, while Li Xia followed quickly, for fear of missing something.
When I didn't get to Tang Ning's residence, there was the sound of porcelain breaking and quarreling inside, and when a few people walked over, they heard Tang Ning yelling, "Ouyang Xun, what are you doing!" ”
As soon as Li Zhan heard Tang Ning's voice, he was afraid that she would suffer something, so he immediately flew over. After passing, he saw Ouyang Xun wanting to pull Tang Ning's clothes, but Tang Ning hid and didn't let him touch it.
"Stop!" Li Zhan jumped and stood between the two people.
"Ouyang Xun, what are you doing!" Li Zhan looked at Ouyang Xun, his face was not very good.
"Then ask what you did!" Ouyang Xun's anger seemed to be even worse than Li Zhan's, and when he saw Li Zhan, the sparks in his eyes snapped.
"She is the wife of this king, as a friend, I hope you can show respect!" Teasing a friend's wife, even if it is between good friends, is disgusting.
"Wife? Which law of Northern Qi says that the side concubine is a wife. If you really treat her as a wife, you will poison her, and there is no cure for it! For the accident that happened in Tangning when he left, Ouyang Xun felt very guilty.
Everyone has only one wife, and the wife is a man's real partner, just like the queen and the queen, the wife can be buried with her husband after death, and enjoy the incense of the clan. But the concubine ...... Whether it's a side concubine or something else, it's just a concubine.
A concubine is just a tool for servants, even if she is an imperial concubine, she can also be used as a gift to the monarch of another country.
Ouyang Xun now emphasizes that Tang Ning is a concubine, but he also means that he can also pursue her. But when the others heard this, their faces changed.
