Chapter 46: Who She Is
"Tang girl, isn't this what you want?" Chu Chen's generous big hand tightly covered the dagger in Tang Ying's hand, and stabbed it in a little more, "Isn't it that you regret it now?" But I'm dying, isn't it too late for you to regret it? ”
"Or rather, you can't see your heart clearly, but what you like is actually me."
"I ......"
Tang Ying looked at the dagger that was almost completely submerged, and didn't know how to react for a while.
Fortunately, in the next moment, Lu Zhan urged an internal breath to wrap around Tang Ying's waist, and brought the person back again. At the same time, Beitang Chen also came with a long sword: "Thousand-faced Langjun, we'll see you in the next life!" ”
Bei Tangchen, a person who is good at hiding a knife in his smile, disdains cruel words.
But when you start, the action is not light.
Chu Chen, who was already seriously injured, met such a strong opponent as Beitangchen again. After a few rounds, there is no more power to parry. Obviously, Beitangchen also saw this.
The sword flowers of the long sword dance in his hand were flying, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was obvious: "Ah Ying, remember to thank this king." ”
"Definitely." Tang Yinglang said.
If Chu Chen really lost his life, Tang Ying would indeed thank him.
But can it really?
Tang Ying and Lu Zhan looked at each other, one with deep meaning in his eyes and the other with frost in his eyebrows.
Just when he was about to strike the last blow, Beitang Chen suddenly felt that an indescribably powerful force appeared out of thin air, and he was forced to fly several feet away.
"Who is it!?" Beitangchen got up from the ground, and said with a calm face.
But there was no one but them.
Then Beitangchen set his eyes on Lu Zhan, and the meaning was very clear. The first dust was already as strong as the end, except for Lu Zhan. Others would not and would not dare to do this to him.
Lu Zhan didn't explain, and the next moment someone identified his innocence for him.
"Oh my God, what's going on?"
"Who is the young priest who injured you like this?! Bold, so daring! ”
A sharp male voice came, and the overly sharp voice shook everyone's eardrums very uncomfortable.
But where the words fell, it was a yellow flying fish pattern and curly orchid fingers.
At the same time, in addition to many little eunuchs standing behind the man, there was also Ouyang Cheng, the governor of Jinling's patrol battalion.
"Xiaguan, I have seen His Royal Highness King Ning, Princess Protector of the Country, and Prince Lu Shizi." Ouyang Cheng saluted, and then asked the soldiers behind him to hurriedly help Chu Chen up.
"Our family, to His Royal Highness King Ning, the princess, and Lu Shizi, please be safe." The eunuch dressed in the flying fish pattern also said.
Tang Ying had already guessed seven or eight points, but she still asked knowingly: "Governor Ouyang, father-in-law, what do you mean by this?" ”
"Your Royal Highness Princess Qiyu, the lower official has been ordered to come to welcome the new young priest back to his home."
"Young priest?" King Ning Beitangchen looked rather ugly and said: "There are only assassins from the princess's mansion here, where are the young priests." ”
A high priest appeared out of thin air and won the trust of the emperor.
has made them very annoyed by the kings and grandchildren, and now there are waves of unsettled waves.
"His Royal Highness King Ning, forgive our family for saying too much. You don't know that the young priest mistook him for an assassin, and it's understandable that he was injured so badly. I'm afraid this is really inappropriate. The eunuch, dressed in a flying fish pattern, interjected again.
"Father-in-law Lu, are you accusing this king?" Beitangchen also looked displeased.
He and the chief eunuch Lu Hui have never been at odds.
An old eunuch in the deep palace and a prince outside the palace. If it's not a partnership, it's only hostility.
"His Royal Highness King Ning, where is the old slave not daring. It's just ......" Lu Hui cocked his orchid finger, pretending to stop talking.
Beitangchen's face became more and more displeased, "It's just what, it's okay for my father-in-law to say it directly." ”
"It's just that the emperor ordered the old slave to be in charge of all the affairs of the young priest in Jinling. If the emperor knows about this, I'm afraid ......"
"Grandpa Lu!" Such a straightforward threat, how could Beitang Chen not understand.
"His Royal Highness King Ning, calm your anger." Ouyang Cheng seemed to persuade and said: "Gonggong Lu didn't mean to offend, and we are also duty." As for tonight's misunderstanding, if the young priest doesn't care about it......"
It can be either left to be done or as if it never happened. Ouyang Cheng didn't say this explicitly, but the meaning was very clear.
"What if I want to pursue it?" Chu Chen borrowed the strength of others and stood up. Although his face was pale, his expression was very sharp, and a pair of willow eyes were like a scimitar.
"Young priest." Ouyang Cheng Road.
His voice seemed to be reminding, as if he was paraphrasing someone's meaning.
"Then I will pursue it, but this king wants to see. How did the thousand-faced Langjun become my young priest in South Vietnam. Isn't it by this face? "Beitangchen is not to be outdone.
It's just that Chuchen doesn't care about him.
Instead, he raised his gaze and looked at Lu Zhan, "Lu Shizi, don't have anything to say?" ”
Tang Ying wanted to step forward, but was lightly blocked back by Lu Zhan. Shicai said: "Young priest, it's funny." Lu has nothing to say, but Her Royal Highness the princess invited Lu to come to admire the moon. Lu was unlucky and had some trouble, that's all. ”
"Hehe, Lu Shizi, you really can speak well." Chu Chenyin smiled coldly and said: "I hope that three days later, there will be a banquet in the palace, and Lu Shizi will be able to show his demeanor today." ”
"Thank you young priest for your compliment, if Lu receives an invitation in three days, he will gladly go to the appointment." Lu Zhan smiled slightly.
In the end, Chu Chen followed Father-in-law Lu and left the princess's mansion with Ouyang Cheng.
The mansion, which was still full of people, fell into silence in an instant.
In the end, it was Tang Yingshu who broke the silence, "His Royal Highness King Ning, it's not too early. You'd better go home early. ”
Then. Xufeng also stepped forward and stretched out his hand, "Your Highness, please." ”
"Dog minion, you have repeatedly stood in the way of this king. Do you really think that this king will not dare to kill you? Bei Tangchen still had a smile on his face.
But the words that come out are chilling.
Void Wind, standing still, "Minion, don't dare." ”
In front of the prince, he can only call himself a slave, but he is called like this, but his nature does not change.
"A-Ying. It's late at night, this king should indeed go back, but what about Lu Shizi? As if he didn't want to waste his tongue with the void wind, King Ning Beitangchen turned the spearhead to Lu Zhan.
Lu Zhan smiled but said nothing.
Tang Ying looked at him for a moment and said, "This is not for His Royal Highness King Lao Ning to worry about. After Lu Shizi and I finish appreciating the moon, I will send someone to send him home. ”
"Thank you princess for your kindness, Lu will definitely accompany you." Lu Zhan, just then spoke, a pair of foxes with countless starlight, very good-looking.
"Let's go!" At this point, Beitangchen finally brushed his sleeves away.
Xufeng and the guards, seeing this, also retreated one after another.
In the courtyard of Nuoda, only Lu Zhan and Tang Ying remained. A long moon is in the sky, and the courtyard is full of heroes.
Under such a beautiful scenery, Tang Ying didn't expect that Lu Zhan's first sentence was: "You look good in this dress." ”
"Huh?" Tang Ying paused.
Only then did he glance down at himself, dressed in a snow-white brocade, with black hair, half-held by a high-grade hosta. The most simple and elegant decoration, but because of the eyebrow pendant in front of the forehead, there are more pretty flowers dyed with rouge to be picked.
"Thank you Lu Shizi for your compliment." Tang Ying lowered her eyebrows and smiled.
The most is the one who bows his head and smiles, and a thousand styles surround his eyebrows.
Lu Zhan has a lot of experience with this at the moment.
It's a pity that before he could respond, Tang Ying said with a straight face: "You already knew that Chuchen was a young priest?" ”
"I didn't know before." Lu Zhan said truthfully: "I guessed it not long ago. ”
"And who is the High Priest?" Tang Ying asked again.
Lu Zhan looked solemn, "If there is no accident, it should be related to Tianxuanmen." ”
"Could it be the master of Chuchen, the head of Tianxuanmen?" Tang Ying directly said the conjecture in her heart.
"But Tianxuanmen, such a sect of rivers and lakes. How did he become a high-priest? ”
Tang Ying was quite puzzled by this.
"Maybe they are." Lu Zhan's words were concise and to the point.
Tang Ying was even more puzzled, "But it is rumored that the position of the high priest of South Vietnam has been vacant for more than a hundred years?" ”
"You also said it was a rumor. Moreover, there is an unwritten rule in South Vietnam that as long as you can unlock the token left by the previous high priest, you will be the new high priest. Lu Zhan explained.
Hearing this, Tang Ying understood probably.
"And what kind of high priest is you seeing?"
Will he always be the high priest, or will he succeed by unlocking the token?
This time, Lu Zhan shook his head rarely, "I don't know, when the high priest appeared, I was not in Jinling. ”
He neither participated in nor saw the whole process, so he couldn't judge.
"It's all my fault." Tang Ying said suddenly.
The voice and attitude softened, and it was not difficult to find that there was still a bit of guilt in it.
"It's none of your business." Lu Zhan said calmly, as if stating a fact.
Tang Ying didn't accept it, "How can it be irrelevant." If it weren't for the fact that I wanted to explore the void and reality of the Heavenly Xuanmen, I wouldn't have left with Chuchen. ”
If you don't leave, naturally there will be no follow-up.
"You're also for my good, and it's too light for me to say it." Lu Zhan said.
"No......"
This is really not the case, it is Tang Ying himself who wants to find a way to return to modern times as soon as possible. That's why I thought about going to Tianxuanmen to have a look, although there are ingredients to help Lu Zhan, but more Tang Ying wants to go back to modern times.
"It's all gone, no need to mention it again." The white jade-like phalanges in Lu Zhan's sleeves were curled, his knuckles were flushed with blue, and his eyes were slightly cool.
He knew, knew everything, just didn't want to mention it.
Tang Ying was stunned and closed her mouth and didn't mention it again.
Both of them tacitly changed the topic, as if the scene just now did not happen......
Three days later.
The feast in the palace was for the high priest of South Vietnam, and the other was for Tang Ying, the newly canonized princess of the country.
Tang Yingtou returned to the palace, willing to think that he was invited to a banquet in the palace. It must be a cluster of flowers, and the gold is extraordinary. No matter how bad it is, it is still brilliant and full of people.
I never thought it would be ......
"This palace is different from what I thought." Tang Ying, whispered.
Xiaohui replied: "The princess doesn't know, the South Vietnamese royal family has always been simple. The furnishings in the palace are also mainly blue and white, elegant and simple, although it is a feast today, but it is not as extravagant and noisy as the ordinary palace. ”
"It's unique." Tang Ying nodded, and sat down in an inconspicuous place before the banquet began.
She doesn't want to be in the limelight, but that doesn't mean the limelight won't look for her.
"I've seen the princess of the protector." The person who came was bound by a cloud and phoenix golden hairpin, and the jade fingers of the frost and snow were bullied, pinching the brocade and bowing. The face is golden and thin, and the eyebrows are emerald, and the delicate face is particularly pitiful.
"You are?" Tang Ying looked at the person in front of her carefully.
Searching the memories of the original host, he found that there was no such person.
"If you go back to the princess, I am Lin Ruoli, the side concubine of His Royal Highness King Ning."
"Princess, don't you mind sitting here with Ruoli, right?"
"Of course." Tang Ying smiled.
She originally thought that although she was canonized as a princess. But in the end, she is not the daughter of the emperor, nor is she really born into the royal family. It's nothing in the court, why is it valued on the first day of the new year?
Originally......
"Your Royal Highness Princess, this tea is a new Qingxi jade bud, and the aftertaste is very sweet, especially for our women." Lin Ruoli's voice was thin and soft, "Princess, you can drink more if you like." ”
"Well, that's good." Tang Ying picked up the teacup in front of her and responded with a sip.
"Princess, if you like it."
"By the way, the princess loves spices, and I got some new spices the other day. It smells good, the princess wants to ......" Halfway through the words, Lin Ruoli suddenly shut up.
As if thinking of something inappropriate, a pair of eyebrows twisted slightly, quite pitiful.
"What's wrong?" Seeing her like this, she was suddenly silent, Tang Ying raised her head and asked.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, if you leave, do you bother you? But I just want to talk to ...... The princess is closer. It's good to ...... in the future", if it is extremely difficult to say it, I will not say it a few times. At the end of the words, he bit his lower lip and peeked at Tang Ying.
Tang Ying understood his thoughts, and said with a clear smile: "Concubine Lin, you don't need to be deliberately close to me. ”
Lin Ruoli looked at a loss, and his apricot eyes became more and more dim.
"Because I won't marry His Royal Highness King Ning."
After hearing this, Lin Ruoli made a face. Like a flower that suddenly bloomed, his eyes became a little brighter.
"But His Highness ...... him"
The implication is very clear, even if Tang Ying is unwilling, Beitangchen is willing. I'm afraid it's not that simple.
"If I don't want King Ning, I can't help it, but I'm a little curious. What is my past with King Ning? The corners of Tang Ying's mouth hooked slightly and asked.
She wasn't really curious, just sent to the door.
Don't ask, don't ask.
What's more, she is a little strange, why does the original host have the memory of anyone. It's just that there is a blank space about King Ning Beitangchen.
"The princess really wants to know?" Lin Ruoli asked timidly.
Tang Ying smiled lightly, "Of course, and you won't answer this question in vain, I will ......" The latter words, Tang Ying said more and more quietly, and it was only possible to hear them when they bit their ears.
Half a cup of tea.
After Lin Ruoli finished speaking, Tang Ying's voice did not have any waves.
Lu Zhan, who had been watching the scene in front of him on the corridor, raised his eyebrows slightly. It's just that when he was about to turn around, a familiar voice sounded behind him, "Lu Shizi, do you really dare to come?" ”
"Yes, His Royal Highness King Ning." Lu Zhan, turn around and salute.
"There is a feast in the palace, and Lu has to invite him to come."
"I guess this invitation must not have been given to you by my father." Beitangchen smiled kindly, but his words were cold.
"His Royal Highness laughed, how could Lu's humble status get into the eyes of the emperor."
"Also, Lu Shizi, he was born with a weak physique. Now, although he has been cured of his stupidity, he is still an unofficial and unemployed person. What's more, my father doesn't want to see your face. After all, you're too much like that person. Beitangchen seemed to be deliberately provoking, and he had to make Lu Zhan lose his temper in the palace.
didn't think about it, but Lu Zhan just smiled. There was neither rebuttal nor the slightest anger.
"Do you know what Ruoli told Ah Ying just now?" Seeing that this method didn't work, Beitangchen changed another method.
This time, Lu Zhan replied.
Not many words, but a few words. But Beitangchen, who listened, immediately condensed.
After he came back to his senses, Lu Zhan walked towards Tang Ying early.
Lu Zhan was still wearing a crescent white soft satin, with a crow blue fairy pattern silk tied around his waist, and a white jade glazed hair crown.
In this blue-and-white quaint palace wall, his face is as white as jade, and his eyebrows are like a beautiful picture scroll covered with distant mountains, handsome and extraordinary.
And Beitangchen thought about what Lu Zhan said when he left, "But Tang Ying won't believe it." "I was so angry that the roots of my teeth itched.
"His Royal Highness King Ning, I have to say that your rank is really low." The evil voice sounded, and a dark red came into view. interrupted Beitangchen's thoughts.
This person was dressed in an orthodox South Vietnamese priest's robe, and the dark robe was embroidered with clusters of blood flowers, which bloomed bewitching and dazzling, as if they were flowers on rice paper. Glamorous and unparalleled, but it is also oozing with the coldness of the forest.
"It's really a joy for people to run with clothes and horses and saddles, and dogs to run with bells. The young priest's outfit was almost unrecognizable to the king. Bei Tangchen said sarcastically unceremoniously.
Within three days, his injuries looked fine.
It's really a bit capable, but Beitangchen's enemy who hates him the most has the ability.
"His Royal Highness King Ning, I think we should work together." Chu Chen, not angry, but smiled obviously.
"With the same statement, the young priest thinks this king will believe it again?" Beitangchen sneered, where is there still a trace of his plain and warm like the wind.
Chu Chen didn't say anything, just looked quietly ahead, as if waiting for something.
Originally, Beitangchen disdained to ignore him.
But after a moment, Chu Chen still didn't look back. Beitangchen couldn't help but be curious, and followed his gaze.
As a result, I was stunned for a moment, then stunned, and finally smiled.
"Young priest, the handwriting is really extraordinary. The matter of cooperation will be answered after the king considers it one or two. ”
Chu Chen seemed to have expected this to be the case, but he just bowed his head and said, "Wait for Ning Wang Jiayin." ”
Tang Ying's side was lively before the banquet began.
It wasn't the emperor or the high priest who appeared in advance, but a woman on a wooden four-wheeled chariot. Suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
This woman is dressed in white, with a smile on her face, and her face is like a peach and like snow.
Even if she sits on a four-wheeled vehicle, it does not affect her elegant beauty.
just let Tang Ying notice her, not because of her disability or beautiful face. It was Lu Zhan's performance, and Lu Zhan's expression had been very indifferent since he entered the banquet.
Until he saw the appearance of this woman, although Lu Zhan tried his best to restrain himself, his eyes were full of grief. But it fell into Tang Ying's eyes clearly.
"Who is she?" Tang Ying said.
seemed to be asking Xiaohui beside him, and also seemed to be asking Lu Zhan.
