081. Gunsmoke
Chu Ningxiang's whole body trembled, and a thick heat floated into her eyes······
"General Xiao." The two guards bowed their heads and respectfully opened the door to them.
After being taken into an underground bedroom that was closed but had everything, after he cut the rope on his wrist, took off the black scarf, and took out the cloth in his mouth, Chu Ningxiang looked at those familiar eyes, and raised his hand to slowly remove the black scarf on his face······
From the edges and corners of the face, to the lips that are neither thin nor thick, to the slightly rounded chin, and the high nose.
It's all too familiar with a face.
I haven't seen him for a long time, and his face seems to have lost a lot of weight, and at the same time, he has a little more vicissitudes and precipitation.
Chu Ningxiang couldn't hold back a whimper, so she stepped forward and hugged him tightly······
"Xiao Chen······"
The tears on Chu Ningxiang's face fell on Xiao Chen's clothes one by one, wetting them.
"I'm sorry." Xiao Chen suddenly said in a low voice, reaching out to wipe away the tears on her face.
"It's okay," Chu Ningxiang's eyes smiled into a slit, gently left his shoulder, and also reached out to wipe his tears, "But, why?" ”
“······ It's a long story. ”
"Let's make a long story short!"
"Well, ······"
——————
Xiao Kingdom, Chaolong Palace.
A war book spreads out on the dragon case.
Emperor Chu Yuntian was lowering his head and stroking a delicate long sword, and he didn't look at the envoy of Yunguo kneeling in front of him on the ground, his brows were sometimes frowning, sometimes stretching, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
For a long time, just as he sat up straight and was about to speak to the man on the ground, a guard suddenly broke into the main hall in a hurry and knelt down on one knee towards Chu Yuntian:
"Report ——! Emperor Qi, the county government of Luocheng County on the border suddenly sent a message urgently, saying that Duke Chu Ningxiang ~ Lord ~ did not arrive in Luocheng County on time, and a carriage suspected to be Duke ~ Lord ~ broke through the city gate that day, but it was later taken down by the guards, but the carriage was empty. ”
Chu Yuntian immediately stood up and shook the guard:
"What did you say?!"
"The micro-professional party just said that Luocheng County urgently sent a message to say that Chu Ningxiang Gong ~ Lord······ Suspected of being robbed. ”
Chu Yuntian patted the case again:
"Big-guts——! Ahem······" But he suddenly coughed, took a cup and swallowed a mouthful of water, suppressed the itch in his throat, and his blazing eyes moved to the envoy of the Cloud Kingdom:
"Look, look!" He waved his hand in the direction of the guard, "This is the attitude of your Yunguo!" Yes, you dare to force me to compromise in this way!······ I'll tell you right now, I'm in the Great Sky Kingdom, and I'm not afraid of this battle! ”
"Dare to break my bottom line,—— I want you to look good!" He picked up the book of war in front of the case, and smashed it at the young messenger:
"Someone! Ahem······ Drag him out and behead———! ”
The messenger immediately kowtowed heavily to the ground, and spoke with great speed:
"Please think twice! First, since ancient times, the two countries have fought against each other, and they have not been killed. Second, if the emperor beheads the grass people today, it will be a right thing for the Yun country to send troops, which is undoubtedly a loss to your country. ”
Chu Yuntian's chest rose and fell violently, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly, and listened to him continue:
"Third, the people sent to your country by the Yun Kingdom only have the prince Bai Ling, the princess Bai Qin, and the two guards, ······ Therefore, "but at this time, two guards have dragged him out one left and one right, "I still hope that the emperor will see it······!"
Chu Yuntian lowered his head and stroked the sword in his hand, looked at the figure who was dragged out, and suddenly waved his hand and said:
"Slow ——!"
The two guards immediately stopped their movements and turned to look at Chu Yuntian.
"Bring him back."
"Yes!"

Chenfu.
"I see." Chu Ningxiang lowered her eyes and pondered, "But you took me away so abruptly, what if my father knew about it?" Without saying a word, he robbed the father~lord~, this must be a death sentence! She said anxiously.
"It doesn't matter," Xiao Chen tightened his grip on her hand, "These days, you should avoid it here first." When the two countries start a war, you will return to the palace and say that you have escaped from the cloud country by taking advantage of the chaos. ”
"Alas, but, wouldn't it be too selfish for us to do this, after all, if I arrived safely in Yun Country and my relatives, maybe my father's side would consider not fighting, and Yun Guo might also withdraw the war letter. But now it's like this······ War is inevitable, and it is the people who suffer! ”
Xiao Chen nodded slightly, "Your analysis is reasonable, but in my opinion, your father's battle has to be fought if you don't fight, ······" Xiao Chen analyzed in an orderly manner, "So instead of this, it is better to keep you safe in advance, otherwise even if you become the princess of Yunguo, you will not be able to escape the fate of hostages." ”
"Well, too," Chu Ningxiang nodded, but her brows were never flattened, "But in this way, my father and my mother have to worry about how worried······"
Xiao Chen lowered his head slightly, "As soon as the war is over, I will go to bear the guilt." ”
"But-" Chu Ningxiang's eyes widened when she heard this, and she was about to say more, but suddenly heard many strange footsteps and talking sounds from upstairs:
"Who are you?"
"We are the guards appointed by the emperor to search for the whereabouts of the princess~lord~, please cooperate with the inspection."
