It was getting dark, and not long after Qu Mingli returned to the room, Ban Fei came to wake him up, saying that he had been summoned by King Yu, and there was no major movement in the palace in this matter, so he thought that the princess had not yet been found to have escaped.
After only one night, King Ayu looked a year older, his eyes were bloodshot, his back was bent a little, and his expression was so tired that it was as if he hadn't closed his eyes all night.
The two civil and military ministers stood in the hall, and they had no strength to quarrel at this time, but they just stood with their hands arched, and their worries and frustrations were written on their faces.
"Your Majesty, General Ning has arrived." Seeing that there was no god in the king's eyes, the courtiers couldn't help but remind.
King Yu woke up like a dream, and when he saw Ning Zeqing and the three of them arrive, he first made a deep gesture towards Ning Zeqing, such an attitude had never been seen before.
Ning Zeqing hurriedly helped him up, not daring to accept such a big gift from his elders.
There was some helplessness in the tone of the answer: "The previous decision was that I didn't think it through. Now that he has repented, he has been annoyed with General Ning for a little more time. I blame me for being capricious about this, and this king is really ashamed. If General Ning brings the paperwork, I will sign it, and it will save me a lot of trouble. ”
Ning Zeqing said: "It's urgent, I didn't bring the documents with me, I'll send someone to get it." ”
Ning Zeqing told Ban Fei for a moment, and Ban Fei went back to get it.
"I don't know what made the king change his mind?" Ning Zeqing asked.
King Ayu sighed, full of vicissitudes: "You also saw the farce of the little girl yesterday. She is unwilling to inherit the throne, and the bloodline of the Wang family is broken, and the battle for the throne in the future is probably indispensable. Even if she agrees, with her temperament, she can govern the country wherever she goes. I wanted to be self-reliant among the nations, but I found it so difficult. That's it, after signing the paperwork, it can be regarded as seeking the protection of the party. As long as the people are well, what does it matter if the rest is okay? ”
Ning Zeqing said: "The king sees it thoroughly, and Ning is ashamed of himself." ”
King Ayu seemed to be relieved, but Qu Ming felt unworthy for Ayu.
Originally, the king of Ayu avoided this matter and only wanted to be pure, but now because of the retreat of one person, he retreated and sought the second, and attached himself to another country, isn't it a shame for a country?
Even if he already knew that the princess was determined, but her father and her kingdom had arranged for her own waywardness, who would not sigh and sigh.
Ban Fei brought the paperwork, and King Ayu put it on the desk, carefully reading every word and sentence written on it, as if he had transcribed it himself, and it was deeply imprinted in his mind. After reading it, I picked up the pen, and the pen was also a thousand pounds, and it was difficult to put pen to paper.
"Your Majesty, it's not good, the princess has run away again!" The two female lieutenants hurried into the hall.
As soon as the tip of the pen touched the paperwork, he was dizzy, but King Yu still signed him.
"Your Majesty, I went to the princess's palace today to deliver breakfast, but I didn't see her figure, and no traces were found in the palace, and I don't know how the princess escaped." Even if it is not the first time, the two lieutenants are still very eager.
"If you run away and find it," said King Ayu's face was as calm as water, as if he was not affected by this news, "since she is your commander, you should follow her." Otherwise, what is the point of the existence of women's soldiers? Go, go, don't waste time here. ”
"But ......"
One of them wanted to speak, but was pulled by the other, and the two retreated.
"This is the good apprentice you brought! Now that the female army commander is not in the camp every day, how can this female army be an army? If they disperse in the future, I don't know how many people in the hundred countries will laugh shamefully. Wen Chen looked very annoyed.
The martial artist said that he was a little bare-faced, but he still argued with him: "Isn't she your good apprentice anymore?" At the beginning, I don't know who whispered in my ear all day long about how talented she was. How kind is it to be a person, but now that something has happened, but you don't want to admit it? I tell you, no matter whether the princess is accomplished in martial arts today or in the future, she will be my good apprentice for the first day, and she will be for the rest of her life! ”
Wen Chen couldn't say anything about him, so he could only swallow his anger back.
King Yu sighed and handed over the signed documents to Ning Zeqing.
Ning Zeqing got the paperwork, so he set a time to leave tomorrow.
Answer: The farewell banquet arranged by the king is tonight.
When she went out of the temple gate, she saw that the two lieutenants were still at the door, one crying sadly, and the other frowning and comforting her.
Qu Ming left, and he was also sad for them, and wanted to go over to comfort a few words, but Ning Zeqing blocked the momentum.
"Don't make trouble."
Qu Mingli had no choice but to give up, go back to pack his bags, and prepare for the evening practice banquet.
Although the dinner party was joyful, there was no real smile in the courtiers. No one sat on the princess's seat, the prime minister bowed his head and drank stuffy wine, although the king's eyes looked at the song and dance, but he had no intention of this. Ning Zeqing and the three of them were guests, and they just toasted and drank, and there was nothing to talk about.
A feast is a joy for no one.
Halfway through the banquet, the two female lieutenants came to pray, with prevarication on their faces, but they had to come.
"Your Majesty, Princess......"
"That's it," said King Ayu, who knew that no one had been found, and was a little impatient when he saw their looks, "I don't want to dictate bad news today, so go down and report it tomorrow." ”
The two had no choice but to retreat.
Far away, Qu Mingli could feel the blow of the two of them, and he was very worried when he thought of the words he heard in the hall during the day.
"I'm a little tired, so I'll go back to my room and sleep first."
Qu Mingli said goodbye to Ning Zeqing and left the banquet.
Ning Zeqing was also helpless when he saw him leaving in a hurry.
"Two lieutenants, please stay." Qu Mingli hurriedly caught up with the two who left the table outside the hall and stopped them.
"Who are you?" Vice Admiral Haruka asked.
The far deputy general pulled his sister away a little, a little disgusted: "I remember him, he laughed at the general that day, he was watching the jokes of our female army." ”
When Vice Admiral Yao heard this, his face changed to a state of guarding against the enemy, full of alienation: "That's the case." We just ignore him. ”
The two of them were leaving, and they didn't want to talk to this fallen person.
Qu Ming couldn't stop them, so he hurriedly said: "Are you looking for a female general? ”
At night, Xue Nan was busy with trivial chores and was drying clothes in the courtyard, when the moon was high and the wind was clear, and a person suddenly appeared in the courtyard.
It was Qu Mingli.
Xue Nan thought that he was looking for him to go back again, and secretly mentioned his internal strength, but unexpectedly, two more lieutenants came out behind him, which surprised her a lot.
"General, you're here!"
The two couldn't help it, ran up and grabbed Xue Nan, and saw that she was dressed in coarse linen clothes, holding freshly washed clothes in her hands, and she didn't have a dignified appearance at all, and there were bluestone bricks and tiles around her, which was far from the palace.
"Why are your hands so cold?" Yao'er touched Xue Nan's cold hand, full of worry.
Yuan'er saw the pile of clothes in the basin and became angry: "Your hands are used to dance swords, how can you do such rough work." ”
Seeing that this place was far from the environment in the palace, the two were naturally dissatisfied.
Xue Nan knew from the time he fled that he was gone, and the two of them would have to suffer and be punished. Now he came to see himself alone, and he didn't bring soldiers and horses, and the guilt in his heart gradually appeared.
"Sister Nan, is there someone outside?" Brother Yu saw that she had been drying her clothes for a long time and had not returned, so he asked out loud.
