Chapter 55: The Jade-Faced and White-Haired Regent
A cold light flashed, and everyone didn't react yet.
The maid of Beimiao, who was extremely arrogant just now, fell to the ground in an instant. It was not until the strong smell of rust came that Xiaohui woke up from a big dream.
Frightened: "King, prince." ”
"Get up, you're doing well." At this moment, Lu Zhan and the cold man who hurt people with a sword are like two people.
"Slave maid...... See His Royal Highness King Asahi . Beimiao's maidservant girl covered the wound on her chest in pain.
She couldn't believe that Lu Zhan would suddenly appear.
I couldn't believe that the other party would give her a sword directly. Even if this sword had pierced deeper, she might not have been able to say this.
"Do you know why this king wants to spare your life?" Lu Zhan, the voice is as cold as a railway.
Beimiao's maidservant girl's face turned pale and shook her head again and again. With the help of his own guards, he barely stood up. But the blood spilling from his hands did not stop for a moment.
"Because this king needs you to bring a message back." Lu Zhan said coldly: "Tell Tuoba Yan that the next time you offend this king, you will not be soft." ”
Is this still called softness?
So how can it be called not soft, Beimiao maid dare not think about it.
She just trembled like chaff, "Yes, His Royal Highness King Xu, the slave and maid are retired." ”
As they fled in a hurry, there were also traces of blood all the way in the courtyard. Lu Zhan just glanced down, and He Jun beside him immediately ordered someone to come and clean up.
"The subordinates failed to protect the princess and voluntarily accepted the punishment." Mingzhu suddenly stepped forward and asked for sin.
In fact, if Lu Zhan hadn't come back just now, she would have taken out her sword.
seemed to think of the scene where He Jun was punished last time, Tang Ying stepped forward to stop her, "It's none of her business." ”
"Besides, I'm not hurt, can I forget it this time?" At the end of the words, Tang Ying's tone softened unconsciously.
After all, Lu Zhan was so angry, and Tang Ying had never seen it a few times.
"Okay."
That's just one word, and nothing else.
So much so that Tang Ying didn't react until Mingzhu thanked her: "Thank you, princess." ”
Only then did she suddenly realize that she dared to love Lu Zhan, did she agree?
"Thank you." After thinking about it, Tang Ying also raised her head and thanked Lu Zhan.
After all, he was indeed very protective of himself in what happened just now.
"If you really want to thank me, you might as well come and do something practical." Lu Zhan never claimed to be the king in front of Tang Ying.
He didn't surprise Tang Ying by talking like this, but he ......
"I don't know what you want?" Tang Ying asked herself if there was nothing to give Lu Zhan, so she was a little depressed.
Unexpectedly, Lu Zhan said lightly: "Accept the emperor's marriage." ”
Yes?
Tang Ying was stunned.
It makes sense, but it is unexpected.
Her lips trembled slightly, and she wanted to say something, but Tang Ying didn't say anything after all.
"I know you're not the daughter of the Tang family, and neither do I want." Lu Zhan said.
"I also know that you are not from South Vietnam, and I don't care." Lu Zhan said again.
Tang Ying was completely dumbfounded.
It took a long time to squeeze out a sentence, "But I have to go back after all, and it's really not good to delay the prince." ”
"I don't think it's a delay." Lu Zhan's words were firm, and his voice was clear: "On the contrary, he is extremely happy." ”
At this time, Tang Ying, who was completely out of line, was ready to ask for help, only to find that she didn't want to talk about Xiaohui at this moment. Even He Jun, Mingzhu and others have disappeared.
In the courtyard of Nuoda, there were only two people, her and Lu Zhan.
"Wait." Suddenly, Tang Ying noticed that something was wrong, "You never forced me in this matter, how could you suddenly change your words." Did you run into any problems? ”
Or is there something Lu Zhan is hiding from her?
"Hmm." This time, Lu Zhan just pondered for a moment, and actually nodded: "Princess Beimiao is indeed here to kiss. ”
Tang Ying smiled when she heard this, "So what? His Royal Highness King Xu, don't you say that just one Tuoba Yan can force you to the side? ”
It's okay to deceive others.
Tang Ying didn't believe it at all, not to mention that Lu Zhan was not a prince, but a prince. Just talking about his life-saving grace to the Emperor of Nanyue, I don't think the Emperor of Nanyue would do this to him.
"It's not just Beimiao. Nan Miao's mission will also arrive in Jinling in the near future. Lu Zhan finally restrained his expression, and his face sank slightly.
"Nan Miao?" Tang Ying was taken aback, "You mean that Nanmiao Holy Maiden Lin Wanwan will also follow?" ”
This is their old rival.
And Lin Wanwan was moved by Chuchen.
"She'll come." Lu Zhan said: "And it is said that the regent of Nanmiao will also come." As for the purpose of their visit, it is not known for the time being. ”
At this time, Tang Ying's whole person suddenly became bad.
If one northern seedling is enough to deal with it, then adding a southern seedling is really unpredictable.
"You are only the nominal Princess Xu, if you don't want us to be reconciled one day. This is also what the emperor meant, Beimiao wants to marry us. Nan Miao lost the backer of King Ning, and suddenly sent the regent to threaten trouble. Lu Zhan said very seriously, but a trace of gloom flashed inadvertently in his eyes.
"I do."
I don't know if I was moved by Lu Zhan's look, or what. In short, Tang Ying shouted out like this.
It made Lu Zhan stunned, and He Jun's sentence not long ago also appeared in his mind, "Maybe the princess is willing." ”
So, Tang Ying, she is actually willing, right?
It's a pity that Lu Zhan didn't ask this.
"Do you know anything about the Nan Miao Regent? Has he crossed paths with Bei Tangchen before? And ......"
Lu Zhan's mind was still on whether she was willing or not. And Tang Ying had already sensibly cared about the Nanmiao Mission in the near future.
In this way, Lu Zhan had to restrain his thoughts and respond one by one, "It is said that this person is a king with a different surname who was canonized not long ago, and we don't know much about him......"
Half an hour later, Lu Zhan and Tang Ying had almost finished discussing.
Seeing that it was not too early, Lu Zhan said: "Today, you can rest first, and the holy decree of marriage tomorrow will be issued." ”
Hearing this, Tang Ying nodded, and then suddenly raised her head, "That...... Can you marry first...... Don't get married just yet. ”
"I understand that if the Nan Miao Mission is not what we think. Subsequent weddings can also be cancelled. Lu Zhan frowned slightly.
Seeing that Lu Zhan obviously misunderstood what he meant, Tang Ying wanted to explain.
said that the reason why she delayed her marriage was because she wanted Xufeng to participate. After all, Xufeng's injuries are now basically under control. And with Lu Zhan's friendship with Xufeng for many years, if they were married and Xufeng was not present, Lu Zhan would also have regrets.
It's a pity that Tang Ying didn't have time to say this, Lu Zhan had already misunderstood.
Tang Ying could only nod, "Thank you, Lord Wang understands." Then I'll take my leave. ”
Lu Zhan bowed his head, but the person did not leave, but stood in place and watched Tang Ying's back as he left, until he disappeared.
"He Guard, is this an unhappy breakup?" Xiao Hui, who was hiding in the shadows, looked at the two masters who were going their own ways, and said anxiously.
He Jun was also anxious, but he didn't show it because of his years of secret guard habits. Instead, he nodded, "Count." ”
Xiaohui tightened the handkerchief in her hand, and said more hurriedly: "Then what can I do about this?" You said that the prince and the princess are such smart people, why do they always talk about this matter? ”
It was really the emperor who was not in a hurry, and the eunuch was in a hurry.
"Because they care too much about each other." He Jun broke through the mystery in one sentence.
Xiaohui nodded clearly, and suddenly her apricot eyes were round, and she had a plan, "He Guard, or we ......"
He Jun didn't agree at first, but in the end, he nodded his head in a ghostly manner.
……
After nightfall, the Xuwang Mansion is free of the hustle and bustle of the day, and it seems extraordinarily quiet.
Tang Ying tossed and turned on the bed, and she couldn't sleep peacefully several times.
wanted to get up and find Xiaohui to accompany her to the courtyard for a walk, but found that Xiaohui was not in the house. Even the pearl was not there, which made Tang Ying's heart tighten.
You must know that even if Xiaohui is not there, Mingzhu will guard her every step of the way.
Could it be that something happened to the palace?
Along the way, Tang Ying didn't delay at all, and didn't run towards the courtyard where Lu Zhan was.
What she didn't expect was that the entire Xuwang Mansion was like an empty city. There was no figure in the half, and Lu Zhan was nowhere to be found.
"Lu Zhan?" Tang Ying shouted.
She was met with silence.
"Ho Jun! Xiaohui, don't make trouble. Tang Ying raised her voice.
Tang Ying wouldn't believe that King Xu's Mansion was looted in just one night. What's more, the people of the Holy Poison Gate are still sitting in Jinling.
So......
"What the hell are you guys doing? I'm angry if I don't come out again. Tang Ying said unhappily.
However, there was still no response.
Seeing this, Tang Ying simply ignored it. Without looking back, he went to his own courtyard, and at the same time left a sentence, "His Royal Highness King Xu, you are really bored." ”
But as time passed, the entire Xuwang Mansion did not move. It became quieter and quieter.
Tang Ying finally couldn't sit still, and pushed open the door again to rush out of the house.
Unexpectedly, he was blocked by a figure, Tang Ying hooked her lips and smiled, "Don't you want to play, why don't you continue to ......"
I'm still afraid that she will leave directly.
But when she saw the face of the person who came, her eyes suddenly widened, and she pushed the other party away and took several steps back one after another.
swept away the joy just now, and said angrily: "Who are you?" Do you dare to trespass into King Xu's Mansion and die?! ”
The person in front of him was dressed in white and had white hair, showing his figure from the smoke and waves on the lake, and his face was indifferent, giving people an unfathomable and vast temperament.
But Tang Ying didn't care about that.
What she cared about was that the abnormality of King Xu's Mansion today was not a prank by Lu Zhan or Xiaohui. Is it caused by the person in front of you?
"Princess Protector, who do you think is down there?" The ethereal and cold voice matched his temperament.
It's like a visitor from outside the world, not like a mortal.
But Tang Ying didn't eat this, she just pulled out the broken dagger she carried with her, "I don't care who you are, where you come from and where you go back for me." Otherwise, if you trespass into King Xu's mansion, I will kill you and there will be no one to avenge you! ”
"Princess Protector, is she so unreasonable and murderous?" The people came forward, but they did not retreat. Instead, he asked with a deep look in his eyes.
Tang Ying looked at the other party seriously, preparing to wait for the surprise attack, "Your Excellency, if you don't report your home again, then don't blame me for being polite." ”
The appearance of the person in front of him was too weird, and Tang Ying really didn't have the heart to talk to him more.
The next moment, just when Tang Ying was about to attack.
Suddenly, his wrist tightened, and a familiar cold fragrance came to his face. At the same time, the starry fox eyes also came into view.
"Lu Zhan?" Looking at the people who appeared, Tang Ying was a little stunned.
And behind Lu Zhan, he was followed by He Jun, Xiaohui, Mingzhu and others.
It's just that they ......
Looking at He Jun and Xiaohui, the three of them. The body is covered with green grass and leaves, like a tree stump coming out of the jungle.
There are also leaves on Lu Zhan's shoulders that have not been cleaned up. Tang Ying couldn't help but laugh out loud, "His Royal Highness King Xu, it's really Yaxing." ”
Dare to love, all this is really their ghost.
The reason why they were not found was probably because they hid in the back mountains.
"He's not one of ours." No, Lu Zhan didn't show a trace of relaxation, but protected Tang Ying behind him, and said with a solemn face.
"And who is he?" Tang Ying instinctively asked.
At the same time, he became more and more wary of the people in front of him.
Lu Zhan's fox eyes were shining, and he stared at the person in front of him for a moment and said, "Jade face and white hair, stepping on snow for thousands of miles." I guess your Excellency is the rumored regent of Nanmiao. ”
Words are doubts, but words are already affirmative.
"That's right, this king is the regent of Nanmiao-Long Feiling. His Royal Highness King Xu, really good eyesight. He is worthy of being the youngest prince of South Vietnam. Long Feiling smiled slightly.
He is actually the regent of Nan Miao?
Tang Ying was surprised, and once again focused her gaze on the other party.
Suddenly, she swooped her head. An incredible thought crossed his heart, "Lu Zhan, he ......"
"Maybe it is." Tang Ying didn't say anything, Lu Zhan had already given an answer.
The tacit understanding between the two is self-evident.
"It is rumored that the princess of the protectorate has a deep entanglement with His Royal Highness King Xu, and it is indeed the case today." Long Feiling, who didn't seem to like being left out in the cold, suddenly interjected.
Hearing this, Lu Zhan also smiled, "Regent, don't talk like this." ”
"Why?" Long Feiling raised his eyebrows and asked.
Isn't it true that he is not allowed to say something that is well known to adults?
That's too much to steal the bell.
"Because you're too much like a person." These words did not come from Lu Zhan alone, but he and Tang Ying spoke in unison.
Subsequently, Tang Ying said bluntly: "Thousand-faced Langjun, pretending to be a prince of another country is a capital crime." ”
Obviously, Tang Ying and Lu Zhan both felt that the person in front of them was not the regent of Nanmiao.
Or rather......
"Princess Protector, who is the Thousand-faced Langjun, this king doesn't know. But Princess, you are so impressed by this man, could it be that he is the one you admire? Long Feiling said without changing his face.
There was not a single flaw on his face.
However, Chu Chen's ability to reveal flaws is strange. Therefore, Tang Ying smiled lightly and said: "Your Royal Highness King Xu, isn't the head of the Holy Poison Sect in Jinling, it is said that he is the best at distinguishing disguises." Why don't we ......."
"Why bother the head of the house for such a trivial matter, this king happens to be very familiar with this skill." Lu Zhan replied.
The two sang and harmonized, which can be described as seamless.
Just at this moment, a group of people suddenly poured in outside the door. Among them were the guards of the Southern Miao Kingdom, as well as the newly appointed governor of the patrol battalion.
Of course, more importantly, there is also Tang Ying and Lu Zhan's old acquaintance - Nanmiao Holy Maiden Lin Wanwan.
Watching Lin Wanwan walk towards Long Feiling.
Lu Zhan and Tang Ying both knew it in their hearts, and then Tang Ying took the lead in opening her mouth, "Nanmiao Holy Maiden, long time no see." Thank you very much for your attention last time. ”
Obviously, Tang Ying did it on purpose, she just wanted to tell Long Feiling. The reason why they were able to escape smoothly last time was because of the water released by Lin Wanwan.
"Princess Protector, you're welcome." Lin Wanpi smiled and said, "But if the princess really wants to be grateful, why should she embarrass me as the regent of Nanmiao?" ”
"Or is it that the princess who protects the country has always been such a person with a Buddha's mouth and a snake heart?"
Lin Wanwan thought that she had the upper hand and was proud.
Unexpectedly, Tang Ying didn't even have an excuse, and directly admitted, "Yes, this princess is such a person." So don't sin against me. Otherwise, you may be in danger of your life. ”
"You!" Lin Wanwan never expected that Tang Ying would say this and her face turned blue with anger.
Just wanted to do it directly, but was frightened away by Lu Zhan's sharp eyes, "Nanmiao Holy Maiden, what do you want to do?" Have you come from afar to declare war on our South Vietnam? ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent.
The newly appointed governor of the patrol battalion is even more sweaty.
No one in the court knows that the princess of the protectorate is the heart and soul of His Royal Highness King Xu, and no matter who she is, she can't provoke her. Otherwise, they will be killed.
Probably sensing that the atmosphere was not right, Lin Wanwan coughed lightly to hide the embarrassment in her heart, "His Royal Highness King Xu said that I laughed, I came all the way from Nanmiao to promote diplomatic relations between the two countries." ”
"Really? But the king did not see it. Lu Zhan said with a cold expression: "You first sent someone to break in and disturb the princess of the Protectorate. Then he insulted the king and the princess, and dared to ask Nan Miao if he was so good? ”
"Or maybe it's to deceive me that there is no one in South Vietnam!?"
Lin Wanwan was suddenly dumbfounded.
In terms of eloquence, Lu Zhan recognized the second, and no one in the entire South Vietnam dared to admit the first.
Not to mention a small country like Nanmiao.
"His Royal Highness King Xu, this king has just come to South Vietnam, I don't know how much I have offended this is King Xu's mansion, and I hope Your Highness will not blame you." Under the stalemate between the two parties, a cold voice suddenly came, breaking the deadlock.
After saying that, Long Feiling also solemnly bowed, and Lu Zhan and Tang Ying saluted.
In this way, Tang Ying was caught off guard.
The other party is the regent anyway, and she is already so low, if she is still entangled, it will be an inch.
Although Lu Zhan's heart was slightly stunned, his face was much calmer, "Regent, what is this doing?" Others don't know and think that this king and the princess are bullying you. ”
Lin Wanwan didn't seem to be able to see it, and said: "His Royal Highness King Xu, Princess Protector, you are too deceitful. The regent is in my Nanmiao, such as the emperor in person. ”
Lu Zhan didn't respond to this, just a cold look on his face that he didn't do.
And Tang Ying had deep eyes, as if she wanted to see what the hell this Long Feiling was going to do.
On the contrary, it was Long Feiling, who seemed to ignore their intentions. just smiled and said, "Holy Maiden, don't worry." Indeed, the things of today are the fault of the king. Since we did something wrong, we apologize. What's more, this king also really likes the character of His Royal Highness King Xu and the princess who protects the country. ”
He said that he liked Lu Zhan, it didn't matter.
But he said that he liked Tang Ying's character, which ......
"Regent, what do you mean by that?" Lu Zhanjun frowned lightly.
As if he had finally relaxed his mood, Long Feiling's picturesque face was revealed in front of everyone. Three thousand white hairs moved with the wind, and his voice was cold and resolute, "Literally, this king is happy to protect the princess." ”
