Chapter 307: I'll Protect You
High Priest's House.
Bai Cang was in front of the window to distribute the affairs of the clan's store, this was the work that Ning Ke had given him, and he must take it seriously.
Grandpa Bai walked in lightly, and when he saw that he was busy, he didn't bother, and only after Bai Cang finished did he find that he was still standing at the door.
"Grandpa Bai, when did you come?" Bai Cang was slightly stunned, quickly put down the official document in his hand, walked out of the desk, and beckoned Grandpa Bai to come in, "Since you are here, why don't you come in?" Come in and sit, it just so happened that the queen rewarded some good tea. ”
"Just now, I didn't dare to disturb you when I saw that you were seriously handling government affairs. Grandpa Bai walked in with a kind smile, "Are you allocating shops to the clansmen?"
Bai Cang made tea with his own hands, poured a cup of tea for each person, and then answered Grandpa Bai's question, "Yes, Her Majesty the Queen treats the Yu clan favorably, and in view of the fact that the Yu clan was wronged by the last cannibalism incident, she ordered a street to be divided for the clansmen to sell and buy." ”
Speaking of this, the smile on his face was stronger, and the tea in his mouth was more mellow, "It seems that the queen really takes the Yu clan to heart, you should have heard that the queen broke with Emperor Dahan in order to wash away the grievances of the Yu clan, and drove Emperor Dahan out of the capital two days ago." We really didn't follow the wrong person, and the rise of the Feather Clan is just around the corner. ”
Grandpa Bai also showed a pleased smile when he heard this, "Yes, we were all worried that we would be like when we walked out of the Biluo Forest, but we didn't expect the queen to really fulfill her promise at that time, and she didn't hesitate to fall out with her husband for the sake of her people, and this heart is indeed touching." ”
"Speaking of which, Her Majesty the Queen is also forced to have no way, and the wolves under Emperor Dahan have eaten people, and she can't help but deal with it. Bai Cang took a sip of tea, and his mood was very happy, "As for the truth we told her back then, we just didn't want her to be deceived by others, and it didn't hurt her." In the end, it depends on her. It's just that I didn't expect her to be more decisive than we imagined and distinguish between right and wrong. ”
Grandpa Bai smiled and nodded, "This is the blessing of the Yu Clan, she deserves to be the descendant of the Yu Clan!"
"Okay, let's not talk about that. Bai Cang poured it for Grandpa Bai again, and asked him with a smile, "Grandpa Bai shouldn't have come here to talk about this with me, right?"
Grandpa Bai took a sip of tea and smiled innocently, "That's the case, I heard that the queen hasn't been to the court for the past few days, and the affairs of the court are all handed over to you, General Ning and you." ”
"Yes, what's wrong?" Bai Cang was a little proud, after all, Ning Ke really valued him, and let him call for wind and rain in the court!
Grandpa Bai's eyes flashed, "Then do you know where the queen went?"
"This ......" Bai Cang shook his head, "The queen is said to be ill and should be recuperating in the palace." ”
"Definitely!" Grandpa Bai stroked his beard and laughed deeply, "The queen is not in the palace, she went back to Peach Blossom Village." ”
Bai Cang was slightly stunned, slowly put the teacup back on the coffee table, and pondered: "What is the queen going to do when she goes back to Peach Blossom Village?"
"This is also what I don't understand, maybe she is going back to relax, or maybe, she has other intentions. Grandpa Bai said incomprehensibly.
Bai Cang thought for a while and shook his head, "No, the queen is definitely not here to relax, I'm afraid there is something." Thinking of this, he immediately stood up, "No, I want to go back! There are still some things at home that I haven't brought out, and I just happened to go back and bring them back." ”
"That's fine, I'll take care of the things here, you can go with confidence. Grandpa Bai nodded.
Bai Cang didn't stay long after getting the support of Grandpa Bai, explained the affairs of the clan, and rushed to Peach Blossom Village for days.
This is the third day that Ning Ke has lived in Peach Blossom Village.
Although the scenery of Peach Blossom Village after the flood is not as beautiful as before, the perennial hazy water vapor in this canyon always makes people feel refreshed.
Ning Ke is not entangled in government affairs every day, she is relaxed, she can sleep until she wakes up naturally, and after lunch, if the weather is good, she can also take Qingqiang to fly around and pick some wild vegetables and medicinal herbs back.
Such a simple little day is really addictive, so that she always resounds like she lived here with Chu Junyue at the beginning, although she was forced to stay helplessly, but there is no leisure to worry about Hongchen affairs, it is really relaxed and warm, which is enough to remember for a lifetime.
But this time, she was alone.
Ning Ke stood on the platform and sighed wistfully, his mood was inexplicably low, and he was not in the mood to go out to play anymore.
"Queen, what's wrong with you? Don't you go out to pick wild vegetables and mushrooms?" Qingqiang sat at the door to dry the medicinal herbs picked in the past two days, and there were still some uneaten mushrooms, she planned to take them back to the capital, and also give Yuanbao a taste.
Ning Ke shook his head boringly, "I don't want to go out today, you clean up and go back to the capital tomorrow morning!"
"Huh, so fast!"
Qingqiang was addicted to playing at this time, and finally found that there were thousands of strange animals and plants here, and she was about to go back, and she was inevitably a little lost.
Ning Ke went into the house and didn't come out again, Qingqiang sighed, dried her things and prepared to go back to pack her things, at that moment, there was a sound of fluttering wings stirring the air behind her.
Qingqiang turned back vigilantly, only to see a giant eagle rushing over with huge wings, and the wind was so fierce that it almost overturned her.
"Queen, come and see, there's a big eagle!"
Rising to the wind swaying in the wind, she grabbed the door frame and shouted as she moved inside.
Ning Ke heard the voice and hurriedly ran out to check the situation, and as soon as she looked up, she saw someone on the back of the giant eagle smiling at her, with bright eyes, similar to the eagle's eyes.
"White Firmament?!"
As she exclaimed, the eagle had fallen to the ground, and the wind had stopped suddenly.
Qingqiang pulled the door, turned around suddenly, and sure enough, he saw Bai Cang jumping off the eagle's back, and walked over with a big laugh, "Queen, you are really here, I thought who occupied Weichen's house!"
He pretended not to know that she was here, and he met by chance.
Ning Ke saw it at a glance, but he didn't expose it, and smiled, "After staying in the disturbing capital for a long time, I suddenly missed the isolation here. The doors and windows of the house I lived in before were blown by the wind, so I live here with you, you won't care, right?"
"Of course I don't mind!" Bai Cang immediately smiled and said, it was too late for him to be happy, how could he mind?
Qingqiang glanced at Bai Cang, and always felt that the way he looked at the queen was wrong, and he was inevitably upset for Chu Junyue in his heart, so his face was not very good-looking, and he asked sharply, "Why did the high priest come back so empty?
She is a girl who doesn't know the world, she has been following Ning Ke for so long, and her courage is not so small, but she is good at that pungentness.
Ning Ke smiled and glanced at her, "Qingqiang, how can you speak! This is the high priest's home, and our dove occupies the magpie's nest." ”
"Who occupies the magpie's nest doesn't know!" Qingqiang underestimated unhappily, turned around and went into the house, and her whining voice could still be heard in the distance.
Ning Ke was a little helpless, "High Priestess, don't mind, she just talks like that." ”
"It's okay, Princess Qingqiang is really cute, and she is also a lover. "Qingqiang's canonization ceremony has already been held, so Bai Cang called Qingqiang a princess.
"Well, I'm spoiled. Ning Ke smiled, and then remembered to ask him, "What is the high priest doing when he comes back?"
Bai Cang looked at her gently, and his smile was soft like the wind in the mountains, "Well, I miss it very much." ”
What he missed was not only here, but also the time when Chu Junyue did not appear, and he could appreciate her unscrupulously.
But since she left the capital, she has become queen, and he is her courtier.
From then on, he could only look up to her, separated from each other by the unbridgeable courtesy of monarchs and ministers, and separated by a Dahan Emperor Chu Junyue.
But now that she is back here, she is not the queen, he is not her courtier, and without Chu Junyue's barrier, he can finally get close to her.
"Huh. Ning Ke consciously ignored the heat in his eyes, and said politely: "Then stay here for a few days! ”
That's it.
Bai Cang also lived, but due to the difference between men and women, Ning Ke finally went back to his previous house, Bai Cang tried his best to stay, and Ning Ke still chose to go back to his residence.
The broken doors and windows were originally an illusion made by Ning Ke herself, and she asked Qingqiang to clean up and live in.
In the evening, Qingqiang stewed the remaining pheasant and small mushrooms together, blanched a plate of bracken, and steamed the bird's eggs together, which was enough for two people.
Who knows, just when he was about to eat, Bai Cang came again.
"You're just in time, let's have dinner together!" Ning Ke turned his head and instructed Qingqiang, "You can go stir-fry again!" ”
Qingqiang pursed her lips, and reluctantly fried a plate of river fish and shrimp, and her mouth was so good that she could hang an oil bottle.
Originally, she planned to take them back to try the ingots, but now in order to entertain Bai Cang, she had to divide some of them, not to mention how painful it is, and she can't like Bai Cang even more!
Bai Cang sat down with a smile, not embarrassed at all, his index finger moved, and he was about to cry when he saw Qingqiang.
Ning Ke knew that Qingqiang had always disliked Bai Cang, this girl was all about Chu Junyue, and now that Chu Junyue was driven away by her, Bai Cang's intentions were revealed, and Qingqiang must have been unhappy when she looked at it.
After a dinner, Bai Cang ate happily, and took out his collection of peach blossom wine to drink alone, and Qingqiang couldn't stand it anymore, so he left the table with a black face and went to the kitchen to clean up.
After three rounds of drinking, there was no one else, Bai Cang's face was slightly drunk, and his eyes looked at Ning Ke in a daze, he was a little hesitant at first, but the wine was bold, he fortunately went out and grabbed Ning Ke's hand on the table.
"Ke'er, he broke your heart, but I still have ...... I'll protect your ......."
