Chapter 489: The King (4)
Liu Muzhi's expressionless face was slightly moved, and Hagi Niang saw that although he was trying to maintain his composure, his eyes were full of water, flashing with a faint light.
The slave also looked at Liu Muzhi nervously, for fear that he would really agree.
However, in the end, Liu Muzhi bowed his head and replied solemnly: "I took care of you because of your illness that day, and I really cared for you, but now that your 'illness' has been cured, how can the warlock who is in this class of Jianghu warlocks who is getting an axe be worthy of the heavy responsibility of a king's division, please ask Your Highness to stop mentioning it again, it is really a ...... to the next."
Jinu and Hagi Niang were both relieved, but the king sighed faintly: "Hey, this king should have guessed that you would answer like this, but he still wanted to ask again, it is indeed my idiot......"
He waved his hand and ordered everyone to sit down, raised his glass and drank it all, but his expression did not smile, but his eyebrows were tightly locked, as if he was extremely worried.
Hagi Niang couldn't help but also picked up the wine in the cup and drank it violently, the warm wine warmed all the way to her stomach, which finally calmed her heart a little.
She quickly recalled that the words she had said to Ami, she usually called him "you, you, you", and everyone said that those who didn't know were not guilty, but she was afraid that she had said something wrong, if it really made King Ji hate, it would hurt Xu Mu and Xu City Lord.
But seeing that the king didn't mean to settle accounts with her, he smiled slightly, and said to the slave: "Liu Lang, I heard that the girl of the Zang family was originally your wife, why are the two of you not commensurate with husband and wife when you go out, and her headdress is not combed into a woman's hairstyle?" ”
Why should the head of a nation care about his own family affairs?
Jinu's heart moved, glanced at Hagi Niang uneasily, and said nervously: "Sister Hagi and I have already had a marriage contract, and we are also the same age now, and we are indeed planning to get married when we return to Jiankang." ”
As he spoke, he quietly squeezed Hagi's hand.
Hagi Niang understood herself, and nodded with a smile: "That's right, but the journey between the slave and the husband is very difficult, so many times they travel in the guise of a man, so they are not commensurate with husband and wife." ”
But it was out of the slave's expectation, and when the king heard this, he immediately nodded and said with a smile: "In this case, it is better to pick up the sun than to hit the sun, today is a warm breeze, and it is also a good day, it is better to let the king call the shots, so that the two of you can get married in a beautiful manner, which is also a happy event, what do you two think?" ”
Although the slave was overjoyed, he just wanted to agree, but when he saw Hagi Niang's face turned pale, and her beautiful eyebrows wrinkled in confusion, she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart, but she could only sit silently on the side and keep her mouth shut.
The king was also looking at Hagi Niang's expression, but saw that she finally said in embarrassment: "My mother died early, and my father only has a daughter like a slave, if when the slave gets married, can't I let my father see it in person, wouldn't it be a big unfilial piety?" Although I am grateful for His Highness's kindness, this matter is absolutely impossible. ”
After so many days of living together day and night, she is not completely unaffectionate towards the slave in her heart, and on the bloody night in Lipu, she is almost determined to live and die with him, so if she really wants to marry the slave one day in the future, it is not very resistant.
However, when the king said the words "get married today", she clearly understood her heart and she was absolutely unwilling.
As for the reason, she actually doesn't know very well, but she just thinks that this marriage must not be consummated, at least, not now.
It's okay to have a premarital phobia, even if it's hypocrisy, although she's sorry for the slave, but she can't force herself against her will.
After Hagi Niang said this, she hurriedly looked at the slave apologetically, but saw the injured look in his eyes flashing, sure enough, he was still too selfish, and it still inevitably stabbed his heart.
The slave returned to normal almost immediately, and smiled politely and thoughtfully: "Sister Hagi is right, our two families are close neighbors, and my aunt raised me, if she is not involved in the marriage, I am afraid that she will also be dissatisfied, and please remember the filial piety of the two of us." ”
The king looked at the two of them back and forth, looking thoughtful, but he slowly showed a real smile, and said very easily and indifferently: "Since this is the case, this king will not force you, lest you not be able to drink the wine, and you will complain." ”
He glanced at the official in the room, and the official stepped back respectfully, and the curtain was drawn and smoothed intimately.
Hagi Niang understood that the king was going to talk about business, so she couldn't help but sit up straight and look at him seriously.
Sure enough, King Ji ordered his henchmen to guard outside, and seemed to be much more relieved, so he asked: "A few people who came to Nanzhong seem to be businessmen, but in fact, they are looking for clues that can suppress the Huan clan, right?" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was dumbfounded, but they didn't know what the purpose of this king was asking.
I want to admit it, I'm afraid that the king will turn his face immediately; It's a dilemma to admit it or not, and I'm afraid of missing something.
Even the scheming Liu Muzhi didn't dare to answer this question rashly.
Although Hagi Niang can guess the reason why King Fu avoided everyone asking this question, she is really not sure whether the other party is sincere, if it is just a temptation, but she is open and honest, and she said everything, which is not a good strategy in negotiation.
Seeing that no one spoke, the slave was not afraid to speak, and calmly replied, "Exactly." ”
This may be the difference between people: in Liu Muzhi's view, it is necessary to make repeated calculations before the conclusion can be reached; In Hagi's view, you have to say what is best for you at the best moment; And for the slave, he only felt that if he missed this opportunity, he would definitely regret it, if he didn't even have the courage to dare to act, how could he seize the opportunity?
King Jian didn't expect that he would admit it so happily, and couldn't help laughing: "Liu Lang is really a person of temperament, although he doesn't have much contact with you, so it seems that it is not accidental that you have such an excellent inner family and followers." ”
"Actually, even if you don't admit it, I've already determined your identity......"
"You must find it strange, how could I, as a monarch in the far south, know this? In fact, that day in the restaurant, when this girl was talking, Meng Qing and I sat next to you, but it was only because one accidentally dropped the chopsticks that alarmed you, so I didn't hear the words afterward. Now, I want to give you another chance, how can you convince me, how can you be a person who is not 'stupid'? ”
