Chapter 108: Temptation
In the box of the best restaurant in Dangyang City, the sixth prince praised unsatisfactorily, "Pei Gongzi is not only a fire and earth dual spiritual root, but also good at using poison, and his spiritual sense is much more advanced than that of normal people, but the most important thing is that you still have a little bit of space art, which is really surprising." ”
Being seen through the hole cards so quickly, no one has a good face to look at. But it's a pity that she doesn't know how to use space techniques, all she can do is disappear out of thin air and rely on Feng Ningyu, if there is no information about this divine jade to cover her, she will not be able to win repeatedly.
Xie Qingning smiled bitterly and said, "His Royal Highness Sixth understands in his heart that I am really forced to do so, and the repeated battles are really about to run out of donkey skills, if the Wu family comes up with other tricks, I am afraid that I will not be able to parry." ”
"No, no," the sixth prince smiled a little profoundly, "The palace thinks that Pei Gongzi must have other hole cards, but it is inconvenient to reveal." ”
With his heart beating, Xie Qingning didn't speak.
But there was a hint of caution and caution in her eyes when she looked at the six princes, and her expression was a little detached.
Lan Yongzhiyuan, who had always been silent, was closing his eyes to recuperate, and when he heard this, he opened his eyes and looked at Xie Qingning, his heart full of worry.
And Xie Huazhao, who had just arrived at the restaurant, didn't seem to feel that the atmosphere in the box was a little dull, so he opened his mouth and shouted, "Seven...... Brother, what's going on in the ring in the morning? Can you hold on? ”
Hearing his voice, the frost on Xie Qingning's face instantly dissipated, and he looked up at him with a gentle smile and replied, "Nature wins, that's why the six princes will congratulate us on our treat, and you can also have a full meal." ”
"I knew you could win." Although Xie Huazhao felt that her and Lan Yongzhi's faces were a little pale, he thought it was just because of the repeated shocks last night, so he didn't think much about it.
After everyone sat down, the shopkeeper began to serve food one after another, and the dazzling array of wine and food made Xie Qingning's originally not very relaxed mood much better, and her appetite can really make people dissolve their grief and anger and transform it into strength, she sighed secretly.
Because of Xie Huazhao's existence, this meal was not sad, and the sixth prince seemed to like his flamboyant personality very much, and talked with him very happily, but when Xie Huazhao noticed that Xie Qingning's face was getting more and more ugly, and raised his hand to stroke his forehead from time to time, as if he couldn't bear it anymore, he finally stopped.
Before parting, the six princes deliberately waited at the end, Xie Huazhao and Lan Yongzhi were both smart people, so they naturally knew how to leave first, and after their footsteps gradually faded away, Xie Qingning raised his eyes and asked, "I don't know what else the Sixth Highness has to advise?" ”
The fingers of the six princes tapped lightly on the tabletop, and Ying Ying smiled, "A talent like Pei Gongzi is really appreciated by this palace, I wonder if Your Excellency has the desire to extend to the temple?" ”
Xie Qingning was stunned for a moment, the teacup he had just picked up froze on his lips, and he took a sip and smiled for a moment, "Your Highness said that we are just a rough man, where are we qualified to serve the imperial court." ”
Seeing that she answered so simply, without the slightest hesitation, the sixth prince didn't say anything more, just turned his gaze to the sunny sky outside the window, I don't know whether to talk to himself or deliberately to her, muttered a few words, but Xie Qingning heard it very clearly, and his expression changed slightly.
What he said was: sooner or later, we will see you in Shangjing.
Neither of them spoke again, until Sun Li said outside the door, "Childe, the head of the Wu family has sent someone to invite you over and say that there is something important to discuss." ”
The sixth prince raised his eyebrows and glanced at Xie Qingning deeply before getting up to leave.
Xie Qingning didn't have to guess to know what Wu Fushan was going to discuss with the Six Princes, so he was afraid that he would make himself disappear in Dangyang City, right? But she also knew very well in her heart that it was impossible for the sixth prince to agree to him.
There was still no one to challenge the ring match in the afternoon, and everyone thought about it, the monks in the middle of the Dan period were all beaten by Xie Qingning and lost face, who else dared to ask for hardship and find abuse by themselves?
Xie Qing stood quietly in the ring with his eyes closed, but secretly paid attention to the movements in the stands.
For a whole afternoon, the six princes did not appear, presumably they were left in the Wu Mansion by Wu Fushan, of course she was not worried about the safety of the other party, Mo said that there was Sun Li, a super swordsman, guarding by the side, and the children of the royal family must have secret guards guarding the side, even if Wu Fushan dared to kill these guards, it was impossible to kill all the state troops in Dangyang City, right?
The state army of each city has a governor to supervise, although the city lord of each city has the right to be independent, but he still has to act according to the eyes of the governor, once the state army is transferred, no matter how big the Xiuxian family is, I am afraid that you will not be able to escape the consequences of destroying the nine clans, the so-called people do not fight with the officials, naturally there is a profound truth.
When Xie Qingning was thinking wildly, the bell rang, and an afternoon passed like this, and no one came on stage to challenge, and the audience could not hide their disappointment, but they felt that it was so good, at least there was no need to see blood.
Xie Huazhao and Lan Yongzhi, who had been waiting around, greeted him, and carefully escorted Xie Qingning towards the gate of Dangyang City, the bloody incident that happened in the morning had been known to Xie Huazhao, and he was full of self-blame, after all, he did not advance and retreat with the seventh sister, but was accompanied by outsiders from the Lan family, thinking of this, he was blocked in his heart, and it was surprising that he remained silent on the way back.
"Third brother, do you have something on your mind?" Xie Qingning felt a little strange and couldn't help but ask.
"No," Xie Huazhao shook his head, but his eyes looked around vigilantly.
In front of him was the high city wall of Dangyang City, and the killing incident in the early morning took place in that place, Xie Huazhao's heart seemed to be pressed by some heavy object, and his breathing was a little heavier.
Although Xie Qingning didn't know what was wrong with him, his intuition told him that the third brother was in a bad mood. She thought about it for a moment and said with a smile, "You don't have to worry too much, with the big tree of the Six Princes supporting it, the Wu family shouldn't dare to mess around again." ”
"Not necessarily." Lan Yongzhi interjected, and Xie Qingning explained, "The 100,000 state troops in Nanzhou are already stationed in the Chuxian Pass fifty miles north of Dangyang City, so the Wu clan does not dare to move. ”
"How do you know?" Xie Huazhao's eyes widened and asked curiously.
Xie Qingning smiled, the reason why she knew the news was of course because Fan Mo sneaked out to investigate and came back the night before, so that she could defend with peace of mind, because she believed that no matter how bold the Wu clan was, she would not dare to challenge the imperial power at the risk of being killed by the entire clan.
Therefore, she was able to successfully complete this agreement after all.
The whole journey was very calm, so calm that Xie Huazhao felt that everything that happened yesterday was just a nightmare, and after waking up, the bustling and lively Dangyang City was not in any danger, and it was still full of vitality.
Xie Qingning waited until night fell in the courtyard to hear the movement of the six princes coming back, she thought about it and still didn't take the initiative to look for him, but the other party didn't even have the intention of summoning her, an extremely calm night, the four of them had their own concerns, but they all slept soundly and had no dreams all night.
