Chapter 188: The two of them make a bet
"Dongfang Lie, how are you willing to withdraw from the army?" Looking at Dongfang Lie's handsome face that was close at hand, Shui Ning Yan said in a hurry. After seeing too much Shui Ningyan's calm expression, now seeing Shui Ningyan's crazy appearance, Dongfang Lie is in a good mood. The woman in front of him bared her teeth like an enraged kitten, very cute.
Dongfang Lie's eyes as deep as the sea couldn't help but reveal a rare tenderness. He used to think that women were just tools for men to warm their beds and pass on their ancestors, but it wasn't until he encountered water condensation that he realized that his previous ideas were very wrong.
The woman in front of her not only has a beautiful appearance, but also has a seven-trick exquisite heart, and her wisdom and poison skills are admirable, and she will never be underestimated because she is a woman.
"Miss Shui, as long as you are willing to be my queen, the Nanyue Kingdom can form a good alliance with the Dongli Kingdom for Qin and Jin, and this king will naturally withdraw from the army." Dongfang Lie stood with his hands in his hands, completely ignoring Shui Ningyan's hatred for her, and the smile on the corner of his lips was like the beginning of a plum blossom.
"It turns out that Miss Ben didn't expect that she would have such a big face so that you would not hesitate to send heavy troops, which is really flattering." Shui Ningyan was stunned for a moment, and then mocked.
Dongfang Lie didn't seem to be able to hear the meaning of Shui Ningyan's words, and his handsome face was rare and serious, "This king has always proudly thought that he is an eagle soaring in the sky, not bound by anything, but after meeting you, I realized that I was wrong, you deeply touched the heart of this king, if I didn't have a bunch of things to deal with and dragged this king back to Nanyue last time, otherwise I couldn't wait to welcome you to Nanyue." ”
Seeing Dongfang Lie's eyes clear and clear at this moment, there was a ripple in his heart that did not contain any impurities, but it was only for a moment.
"Dongfang Lie, I am very grateful for the affection in your heart, but the matter of feelings cannot be forced." Shui Ningyan temporarily put away his hostility towards Dongfang Lie and said coldly.
"However, feelings can be cultivated, as long as you marry this king and become a queen, you will definitely fall in love with this king when we get along day and night." Dongfang Lie swore by it, as if he was talking about condensing smoke for water, and it was more like saying it to himself.
Seeing that Dongfang Lie was so persistent, Shui Ningyan groaned slightly, with an unfathomable expression on his face, and said: "Dongfang Lie, it's better to do this, let's make a bet." ”
"What bet?" Dongfang Lie didn't know what Shui Ningyan's calculations were, so he was curious.
"Dongfang Lie, let's take a one-month time limit, and I will make you change your mind within this month. If you're still so persistent, Miss Ben will consider you. How is it? ”
When Dongfang Lie heard this, he almost couldn't believe Shui Ningyan's words, he pondered for a moment and said tentatively: "Miss Shui." What idea do you want to fight? ”
Shui Ningyan hooked his lips and said, "Dongfang Lie, you shouldn't be so unconfident in yourself, right?" ”
Dongfang Lie's dark eyes rolled and said with a smile: "Okay, this king will promise you." ”
Speaking of this, Dongfang Lie paused slightly and said, "But this king also has one condition. ”
Shui Ningyan raised his eyebrows and said, "What conditions?" ”
Dongfang Lie's eyes said deeply: "In this month's time, you have to follow this king's side." ”
Hearing this, Shui Ningyan frowned at first, and finally said, "Okay, I can agree." But you have to remember our agreement. ”
Dongfang Lie laughed indifferently, "My Nanyue King is also a big man in the Yuntian Continent, so naturally he will not be untrustworthy, and the most important thing is that this king has this confidence." ”
Seeing this, Shui Ningyan rolled her eyes, her heart said that there was still a long time to go, and she was absolutely confident that Dongfang Lie would dispel her thoughts. At that moment, she hooked her lips and smiled: "Okay, then you unlock my acupoint now, I will leave a book, and I will go with you." ”
Dongfang Lie glanced at Shui Ningyan, and saw that Shui Ningyan didn't seem to be lying, and more importantly, he believed that the woman in front of him couldn't make any waves under his nose. So he took action to unravel the acupuncture points for Shui Ningyan.
Shui Ningyan glared at Dongfang Lie, then walked to the bookcase to repair a book, then simply packed his bags, walked out and glanced in the direction of Shen Yuexin's tent, and then went with Dongfang Lie.
At the same time, the study of the General's Mansion was full of lights. Shui Ziru was sitting in front of the bookcase and frowned, and at this moment, there was a knock on the door of "Dangdang" outside, and Shui Ziru, who was originally distracted, immediately woke up and said with a wary face: "Who is it?" ”
"Master, it's an old slave." A moment later, the voice of the butler Fauber sounded outside the door.
Shui Ziru listened to this, and then he was full of vigilance, and said lightly: "Come in." ”
With a creak of the door, Faubber slowly walked in.
"Fauber, what's the matter?"
Fu Bo closed the door, turned his head to look at Shui Ziru, who couldn't hide his tiredness between his eyebrows, and replied truthfully: "The old slave saw that the light in the study was still on at such a late hour, so the old slave came over to see if there was anything he could help." ”
Shui Ziru shook his head and said, "Thank you, there's nothing going on here, and it's not too early, Fu Bo, go and rest." ”
"Hey." Fu Bo responded, turned around and walked a few steps, hesitated and stopped again, and sighed, "Master, the old slave knows that you are worried about Mrs. and Miss, rest assured, Mrs. and Miss are both middle women, and they are good, Jiren has his own natural appearance, you don't need to worry." ”
Shui Ziru nodded and sighed, "I hope so, too." ”
Seeing Shui Ziru's lonely expression, Fu Bo wanted to speak again and again, but finally couldn't help but say: "Master, in fact, you should tell the truth to the lady and the eldest lady." ”
"Hey, I owe them so much to them that I don't want to burden them any more."
After hearing this, Fauber didn't know what to say except sighing. The lord felt that he had failed his wife before, and he lacked care for the eldest lady, so this time the lord planned to face it alone, but he didn't want the lady and the eldest lady to be involved, and he would be hurt at that time. He really doesn't know if it's right or wrong.
"Hey, now I only pray that their mother and daughter will be safe and sound in the frontier, and when the matter here is resolved, I will definitely go to them."
Fu Bo nodded and comforted: "Don't worry, master, as long as you explain the truth to the lady and the eldest lady at that time, they will definitely understand you." ”
"Hey, Fauber, you don't know that when I saw Yuexin's disappointed expression at me, I almost couldn't help but explain it to her, but in the end, reason stopped me, I can't let Yuexin and Yan'er fall into danger, just let me solve this matter alone."
When Fu Bo heard this, he couldn't help sighing: If the lady and the eldest lady heard what the master said just now, they would be so moved that they would cry.
Thinking of the tricky matter at the moment, Shui Ziru immediately put away the melancholy and sentimentality in his heart, and said with a solemn face: "Fu Bo, during this time, you have to send someone to pay close attention to Aunt Feng's movements, and I want to implement the plan in advance." ”
Looking at Fu Bo's slightly stunned expression, Shui Ziru explained: "Now that Yuexin and Yan'er are on the border, and the king of Nanyue is stationed there, and the two armies are facing each other, how can I not worry about their mother and daughter?" So I want to get this side of the matter out quickly. ”
Seeing that Shui Ziru's eyes unconsciously revealed a thick look of worry, Fu Bo nodded heavily, "Everything is up to the master." ”
"Okay, then I'll tell you." Shui Ziru paused slightly, and when Fu Bo got closer, he said a few words in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
When Fauber heard this, the expression on his face kept changing. At this moment, Shui Ziru didn't know that his daughter had left a letter to accompany Dongfang Lie on the way to Nanyue.
The next day, it was already three poles in the sun, and before Shui Ningyan came to ask for peace, Shen Yuexin felt that it was not good, so she sent someone to find out, but only a letter from Shui Ningyan came.
"Madam, the slave and maid have searched inside and out, and they have not found the eldest lady, and only this letter to the lady is left in her tent." Lime was already crying in a hurry as she spoke.
Hearing this, Shen Yuexin hurriedly took the letter from Lime's hand, and couldn't wait to open it, looking at ten lines. In an instant, Shen Yuexin's face changed greatly, and Lime leaned over to take a look, and exclaimed, "Ah, madam? The young lady actually left with the king of Nanyue? How's that good? What about Madame? What to do? ”
On the letter, Shui Ningyan confessed that he had a gambling agreement with Dongfang Lie, so he temporarily left to go to Nanyue with Dongfang Lie, and explained that Dongfang Lie had promised to withdraw his troops, at the end of the letter, Shui Ningyan also told Shen Yuexin and a few maids not to worry about themselves, and threatened that he would be able to retreat and return safely by then.
Although the letter did not clearly write what the bet between Shui Ningyan and Dongfang Lie was, seeing that her daughter was full of confidence between the lines, Shen Yuexin, who was originally flustered, gradually settled down, and comforted Lime: "You don't need to worry, since Yan'er can say that she can retreat with her whole body, she naturally has her way, and we can't mess up because of worry." ”
Lime suddenly felt that Shen Yuexin was reasonable. Her young lady has never let them down, and I believe that this time it will be okay. We really can't afford to mess with ourselves right now. Lime comforted herself like this, and her mood suddenly calmed down a lot.
At this moment, I heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside the tent, and then a soldier flashed in, and Shen Yuexin hurriedly said, "What happened?" ”
"General Shen, the army of the South Vietnamese Kingdom has suddenly retreated."
Shen Yuexin and Lime were stunned for a moment, and then remembered that the letter just now mentioned that the South Vietnamese Congress had withdrawn its troops, which seemed to be true. Just when Shen Yue's heart was distracted, the soldier said, "General Shen, what should I do next?" ”
Shen Yuexin said in a deep voice: "Let's wait and see what happens, and then we will withdraw after we are sure that there is no change in Nanyue." ”
