Chapter 54: Freedom (1)
Murong Huantao blinked his eyes gently, and said to him with a smile: "You don't need to be so polite, I just want to come and get to know you, after all, you also know our relationship, and I know that you knew about this when you were very young."
Of course, Shangguan Weiming knew that what Murong Huantao in front of him said was about making a marriage contract with him when he was a child, "That's right, I heard about this when I was very young, but ......."
Shangguan Weiming very much wanted to tell Murong Huantao in front of him about his intentions, telling her that he already had a sweetheart, and hoped that she would no longer pin all her emotions on herself, which was very unfair to her, but every time the words came to her mouth, she didn't know how to speak, after all, Murong Huantao was the niece of the Murong family, if she opened her mouth so rashly, would it be detrimental to the entire Shangguan family? But these words should have been said a long time ago, and it would be better to make Shangguan Huantao break his mind at the beginning, and it would be better than the pain in the future......
"Actually, there is one thing I have always wanted to tell you, and that is ......" Shangguan Weiming was just about to say it, when Murong Huantao was called away by his brother.
I didn't say what I should have said, it seems that I lost another opportunity this time, if I want to give a person a sense of security, then I want this matter to be completely resolved, but after all, this is related to the interests of the two families, and I don't know why I made this inexplicable marriage contract when I was a child.......
When he was thinking about this question, a very noble figure walked over in the distance - Murong Shengzhuo, Shangguan Weiming immediately bowed down, "Murong Holy Lord."
"Get up!".
"Yes".
Murong Holy Lord looked the young man in front of him up and down, "You are the child of the Shangguan family, Shangguan is unknown?" ”。
"Returning to the words of Lord Murong, this is exactly my name."
Murong Holy Lord remembered what happened more than ten years ago, the child who was covered in golden light was now in front of his eyes, fortunately, at that time, he listened to the opinions of the ministers, and made a marriage contract with his niece, tying up the interests of the two families, looking at Shangguan Weiming, who has grown to such a big now, Murong Shengzhuo thought in his heart: I haven't seen him for more than ten years, this child has grown to such a big age, and he passed the competition easily, it seems that the golden light of more than ten years ago is still protecting him and will not be harmed in any way, If he can preside over the overall situation and resist the demons together, then the power of the human world will definitely be extremely strong, and it will not be in vain for the advice of everyone's ministers at the beginning.
"I heard that you quickly passed three competitions and have already made the cut, right?" Lord Murong said.
Shangguan Weiming nodded, "What the Holy Lord Murong said is that I have already passed the competition and have been promoted!" "I really didn't expect that Murong Holy Lord would care about this matter, some time ago her nephew was embarrassed in public in the martial arts arena, could it be that these are all things that Murong Holy Lord doesn't know? Didn't Lord Murong send his nephew specifically to do these things? Shangguan didn't understand these things......
"Young man, work hard, I believe that you will provide your own strength to win the demon race in the human world," Murong Holy Lord said.
When he heard the words of the Murong Holy Lord in front of him, Shangguan Weiming nodded, and then said, "Please rest assured, Murong Holy Lord, we will definitely do our best to resist the demon race, and we will not let the demon race have a chance to defeat the human world."
After Murong Huantao was called away by his brother, he returned to his original seat, "My brother is in such a hurry to call me back, is something going on?" ”。
"Sister, don't you really remember the girl who was sitting next to Shangguan Weiming at that time?" Murong Dongyan thought of the girl's back, and always felt slightly familiar, and suddenly waved, it seemed that she was the princess of the demon clan who was invited to the mansion by mistake that day..... But I still can't be sure, after all, the figure is so vague.....
Murong Huantao still shook his head, even if he knew the news, he couldn't tell his brother, he only hoped that Shangguan Weiming would not tell others about this matter (everyone in the world knew that Shangguan Weiming had already signed a marriage contract with the Murong family, and at this time, another girl appeared by Shangguan Weiming's side, so how to explain Shangguan Weiming?). And how can you explain yourself? More is better than less, anyway, this matter must not be told to anyone!! )。
When he heard what his sister said, Murong Dongyan was actually a little suspicious of his eyes, wasn't the person he just saw the princess of the demon clan that day? But the back is so similar, why does my sister say that she hasn't seen that person? Besides, my sister has been looking in the direction of that side with her eyes just now, how can she say that she hasn't seen it?
Murong Dongyan couldn't understand this, his sister didn't have any reason to deceive herself, right? Could it really be that I am in a trance? That's why you feel this way?
Murong Huantao just met with Shangguan Weiming today, so he must leave a good impression, if there is another person next to him when they meet for the first time, one doesn't know how to explain, and the other doesn't know how to ask, it will only make both parties feel embarrassed, then now that girl doesn't know where she went, maybe she was driven away by Shangguan Weiming, right........?
Ziling followed the footsteps of these people to Prime Minister Situ's mansion, and suddenly had some doubts in her heart, obviously just now Murong Holy Lord said that he would give a house to the princess of the demon clan, but why did the princess of the demon clan come to Prime Minister Situ again? This is very strange!
Several people walked into the house, and Ziling followed suit.
Prime Minister Situ's son-in-law said: "Now the princess of the demon clan will go back to pack his luggage, so that he can go to live in the house arranged by the holy lord of Murong, you should go with the princess of the demon clan to pack your things first."
So a few maids followed behind the princess of the demon clan, including Ziling, Ziling was behind the princess of the demon clan, and she could feel a breath that seemed to be a faint fragrance, not like a charming musk, but like a kind of charming.......
Even walking was a little scratchy, as if she was deliberately pretending, Ziling pursed her lips and thought: How can the princess of the demon clan walk like that? Where did she learn the walking posture of the demon princess? I think of the posture I usually walk in, but it is just a swagger to give people the feeling, not at all like the posture of a princess, does this reduce the noble temperament? How can it be? This fake demon princess is just pretending to be shown to others, right?
A few people came to a room and packed her things on the side, but she didn't expect that she hadn't come here for a few days, why did so many things appear? Ziling from a distance can see that the dressing table is full of all kinds of rouge gouache, to be honest, there are many styles that I have never seen (in the demon clan, the princess of the demon clan never wears makeup, after all, she is naturally beautiful, and she is very beautiful without makeup, where can you see so much rouge gouache?) It's strange to say! )。
Just when everyone was packing up, Ziling saw the fake demon princess standing aside as if tearing her clothes, Ziling could hear her heart: pretending to be a demon princess is too tired, it seems that this is really not an easy job to do, although the salary is high enough. But in front of so many people, fortunately, there is no help, what kind of clothes are these prepared by Situ Gongzi, which is too tight for himself, right? Just came to power, and almost didn't strangle me...... Hold on a little longer, and you can be liberated when you get to the big house!!
Ziling realized at this time that waiting for the big house was the best time to do it herself, and she could take the opportunity to ask why she was pretending to be her identity!
Prime Minister Situ was also relieved, and finally solved a big problem in his heart, it seems that this matter is going more smoothly than expected, no one has found out that the princess of the demon clan is another person pretending, even the always shrewd Murong Holy Lord has not found out about this matter, it seems that the idea that his son came up with really works!
"It seems that our plan has been completely successful, and now we don't have to worry about anyone exposing our lies!" Situ Cheng said.
But at this time, Situ Gongzi stood aside and was stunned, "Father, have you noticed that there are many unknown faces at this celebration today?" Especially the Shangguan family, there seems to be a person on the other side who has never seen it before, do you think there will be anyone who sees through our other actions? ”。
When he heard what his son said, Prime Minister Situ also recalled the picture at that time, there was indeed a back figure that appeared in the Shangguan family, and that back was indeed unfamiliar to everyone, but since it was sitting in the Shangguan family, it must be someone who had something to do with the Shangguan family, "You can rest assured that this matter should not be a threat to our Situ family, if it is serious, she knows our secrets, and it has already been exposed at that time. I won't wait until now and nothing has been done."
His son nodded, that's right, if that person really knew, what secrets were there, he only pointed out this matter in public at that time, there is no need to expose it afterwards, as long as it is past today, everyone will only default to Shui He is the real demon princess, as long as others appear in everyone's field of vision and say that she is the princess of the demon clan, then no one will believe it!!
"So far, are you sure that water is reliable?" Prime Minister Situ is very concerned about this matter, if this matter is leaked by the parties, then the entire Situ family will be wiped out.
His son nodded, "I saved her life alone, otherwise she would have died at the hands of those gangsters, even if he didn't repay me for this kindness, I believe he wouldn't hide it from me."
Ziling has been following the person who pretends to be her identity, and she can always feel his calmness on the outside, but in fact, her heart is full of tension and the temptation of uncontrollable money, of course, these are not visible in the eyes of others.....
Although he has a lot of question marks and doubts in his heart, waiting to be solved one by one, and now he can only answer the truth of the matter one by one when he is in the big house, Ziling is waiting for this moment.
Suddenly I thought a lot about it during this time period, and the freedom I used to yearn for, but now I get it but I'm not happy, is this really the freedom I want? Maybe your freedom is only based on the premise that no one pretends to be you, and when you are chasing from everyone, you can be considered the most free? Maybe that's really the case, whenever it comes to their own interests, they will always stand up and defend their only interests, which is indeed what everyone yearns for.
Ziling also began to doubt herself, is this the so-called freedom?
