Chapter 195: This King Loves You
A voice came from behind, and Jingye turned to look, the smiling King of Cangnan and the gray-clothed man with half a mask were standing behind him at this time, looking directly at him.
"I've seen the king, I don't know what happened to the king?" Jingye bowed to King Cangnan and asked with a smile.
"Thank you for your rescue, this king has always been grateful for his kindness, you saved this king, this king will naturally not turn a blind eye. King Cangnan looked at Jingye and laughed softly, his eyebrows were very soothing, and his eyes were no longer as lazy as before.
"The king is serious, I just happened to pass by here, and I just happened to be passing by, but the king still has to worry more about his own safety. Jingye's gaze met with King Cangnan, and said modestly. Coming into close contact with the new king of Cangqiu Kingdom, he found that this new king did not want to be what he just thought.
Looking at King Cangnan on the purple gold seat just now, Jingye thought that he was the kind of faint monarch who was indifferent to the people and had no ambitions. But when Jingye saw that he had just saved the child, he didn't hesitate to take action regardless of his own safety. And now there is no shelf between the words with himself, which makes Jingye change some of his opinions, as for what he thought just now, he is all behind at the moment.
"Presumptuous! dare to say such disrespectful words to the king!" But just as Jingye's words fell, the bitter man beside King Cangnan suddenly shouted coldly at Jingye, and then held the hilt of the sword with his right hand, waiting for the sword to be released.
The sudden cold drink did not have much impact on Jingye, who just quietly looked at the bitterness beside King Cangnan, and his face was calm. Although Jingye was fine, Kuda startled the smile behind Jingye. Xiao'er's jade hand hurriedly grabbed Jingye's clothes and hid behind him, staring at the sharp bitterness in her eyes with very frightened eyes. And the drum on her fragrant shoulder saw that her godmother was frightened, and her beast eyes showed a fierce light, spitting out a letter, staring at Kuda.
"Shut up, this king let you speak, when this king talks to people, you can also interject!" King Cangnan also didn't expect Ku Da to suddenly drink coldly, and when he saw that Jingye's face became cold, he immediately turned his head and scolded Kuda severely.
"The minister is guilty, and please punish the king!" Seeing that the king of Cangnan was displeased, Kuda quickly knelt down on one knee and said in a deep voice. Regardless of whether King Cangnan is really angry or not, he can't be presumptuous, otherwise he will commit the capital crime of disrespecting the king.
Jingye didn't look at King Cangnan, his black eyes locked on the bitterness of kneeling on one knee, then turned around and gently touched Xiao'er's little head, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, I'm here." ”
Xiao'er looked at Jingye's gentle look, felt the temperature of his palm, and mumbled, but didn't say anything.
Turning around again, Jingye looked at King Cangnan who was looking at him, and said directly: "Your Majesty, please take care of your people, I don't care about myself, but if he scares my lover again, then I don't mind letting the king lose a cultivator of the first level of the Qi Sea Realm!"
King Cangnan felt very uncomfortable listening to what Jingye said, but he didn't say anything about it, and he didn't dare to speak again, he raised a smile and said to Jingye: "It was this king who taught Wufang, so that Ling Zheng was frightened. In order to apologize, the king invited you two to the palace for a while, and at the same time prepared a sumptuous table for you, what do you think?"
Hearing King Cangnan's words, Kuda raised his head, but when he saw King Cangnan's clenched fist to himself, he lowered his head again. None of the soldiers who were cleaning the long street around dared to look at this place, for fear that the scenery they saw would bring them death.
"Are you hungry?" Looking at King Cangnan calmly, Jingye did not answer, but turned around and asked with a smile.
Xiao'er looked at the young new king of Cangqiu Kingdom, saw him smiling kindly, very sincere, and said embarrassedly to Jingye: "Hungry... But I want to eat ordinary fruits..."
Jingye chuckled when he heard this, looked at King Cangnan again, and then said softly: "Since the king is so invited, then the two of us will be disturbed a lot." ”
"Haha, don't be too polite, be casual, come on. Seeing that Jingye agreed, King Cangnan laughed and spoke. Then he looked down at Kuda and said indifferently: "Get up, don't condemn you for the time being, go and lead a horse." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty. Hearing the words of King Cangnan, Kuda got up and walked behind the high platform.
Jingye didn't say anything, looked around, and found that none of the soldiers in the front row seemed to be dead, at most one or two people were seriously injured, and those men in black died a lot.
Soon, Kuda led a horse and came over. King Cangnan nodded to Jingye, who smiled and jumped on the horse with a smile. And King Cangnan also returned to his seat and ordered everyone to turn back to the palace.
Originally, King Cangnan had to go to a few more places to inspect, but the royal family had a rule that as long as he encountered various dangerous things in the middle of the inspection, he must return to the palace as soon as possible, and there must be no mistakes. And King Cangnan was also happy to do this, he didn't want to come out so grandly, it was really uncomfortable.
With the king of Cangnan all the way to the center of Cangqiu Kingdom, there is the most important and exquisite place in the entire Cangqiu Kingdom, the palace!
When Jingye, who was holding Xiao'er, saw the palace of Cangqiu Kingdom, he was slightly stunned. Not to mention the extreme luxury of the palace architecture, gold is everywhere, and the sculptures are beautifully decorated. In terms of its overall appearance, it was exactly the same as the palace of the Tang Kingdom! A familiar feeling poured into Jingye's heart, and he really didn't expect to see the palace scene of Chang'an City in the distant Cangqiu Kingdom.
Xiao'er's beautiful eyes looked at the palace years ago, and there was a familiar feeling in her heart, although she did not have the royal city of Chang'an City, but this style was enough to remind her of many Chang'an scenery.
All the way into the palace, Jingye followed King Cangnan with a smile to a noble and elegant side hall. As soon as he entered the side hall, King Cangnan dispersed the other guards, leaving only a mute bitterness.
"When you come here, you can feel free and don't care about etiquette. Xiang Jingye and Xiao'er chuckled and said, King Cangnan did not sit on the innermost golden seat, but sat on the stone seat below, holding the hilt of the sword and standing straight behind King Cangnan.
Jingye and Xiao'er sat down directly opposite King Cangnan, with a small table beside them, on which were placed fruits and snacks, as well as fine wine and fragrant tea.
"When I saw the king today, I felt that the king was different. Jingye looked at King Cangnan, who had no posture in front of him and was extremely casual, and said with a smile. He felt that the new king didn't like too much red tape, and seemed much more approachable.
King Cangnan smiled when he heard this, and asked curiously, "Then I don't know what Your Excellency thinks is different about this king?"
"Your Majesty, my lover and I are from the Tang Kingdom, I have had the privilege of meeting the Tang King, compared to him, you seem very peaceful, without that sense of power. Jingye poured Xiao'er a glass of wine, and then replied to King Cangnan in a warm voice.
"Tang Guo, this king guesses that you also came from there. Among the countries adjacent to Cangqiu, only Tang is dressed like this. However, your Excellency is very bold enough to say such a thing in front of the king of another country, and this king admires it. Hearing that Jingye said that they were from the Tang Kingdom, King Cangnan began to think about other things in his heart. With a smile still on his face, he whispered to Jingye.
"I have known the king so far, but I have not introduced myself, which is really rude. In Xia Jingye, the lover next to him is named Xiao'er. After listening to King Cangnan's words, Jingye bowed to him and said calmly. He has been listening to others call him Your Excellency, and he is a little unaccustomed to it.
"Pure industry, this king vaguely remembers that there is a famous temple in the Tang Kingdom, it seems to be called the Pure Industry Temple, don't you have something to do with it?" took a fruit and put it in his mouth, King Cangnan said while thinking about it. He had never been to the Tang Kingdom, but he had heard the former king talk about the Tang Kingdom when he was a child.
Seeing that King Cangnan actually knew about the Pure Industry Temple, the Pure Industry smiled and said, "The king guessed well, I used to be Jingye."
A sweeping monk in the temple, but now he is still in the world. ”
Glancing at the quiet wine tasting smile, King Cangnan smiled evilly: "If this king meets such a woman who is in the city, he will not be stupid to be a monk." ”
Hearing King Cangnan boast of himself, he smiled and sneaked a glance at King Cangnan who was spitting out the kernel in his mouth, and his little face was slightly red.
"Your Majesty, I have a question, when those black-clothed people on the street were besieging the king before, I didn't seem to be afraid at all when I saw the king, why is this?" Jingye didn't care about King Cangnan laughing at himself, but he also changed the topic and said.
Seeing Jingye asking himself, King Cangnan put down the fruit he had just picked up in his hand, and said slightly melancholy: "Jingye, you were not born in the royal family, you don't know something." ”
"In that case, I guess the king must know the origin of those men in black. If the new king can be assassinated during his travels, I think that person must be one of the king's brothers. Looking at King Cangnan's helpless expression, Jingye also guessed some inside information, but he didn't know if they were the same as he thought here.
"I'll tell you a story. ”
"Speak, Your Majesty. ”
King Cangnan slowly stood up, looked up at everything around him, and slowly spoke: "Cangqiu Kingdom has only one royal family since its founding, the Qiu royal family. After several generations, the number of royal families became more and more scarce, and by the time of this king's generation, there were only four people. This king is the second son of the previous king, with the eldest brother on his head and the third brother and fourth sister at his feet. But the people of the royal family are accustomed to intrigue everywhere. ”
For a big family, especially this kind of royal family, the infighting in the family is extremely terrifying, and if you are not careful, you will lose your life.
"The eldest brother of this king has aspired to be a king who surpasses all previous kings since he was a child, and this king has no interest in this, so he has never had conflicts and contradictions with him. But the third brother of this king is different, he also wants this splendid country, and the final result is that the third brother was assassinated in the house. As for who did it, everyone knows, but at that time, the former king was terminally ill and had no power to return to heaven. Fortunately, when he left, he left an edict and succeeded to the throne, so that the eldest brother did not succeed directly.
The eldest brother thought that this king was weak, but he didn't know that although this king had never participated in the internal fighting, he had traveled all over the country in Cangqiu for several years, dealt with all the officials, and accumulated contacts far better than him. In the end, with the support of hundreds of officials, this king ascended the throne, and the king's name is Cangnan!"
The story told by King Cangnan is very short, but it also succinctly explains the things in his family, compared to those families with many children, his family affairs are not complicated, but the key point is that they are royal.
"In this way, it is the killer sent by the king's eldest brother. Today, that person is very old, and his cultivation is at the third level of the Qi Sea Realm, and it seems that the power in the hands of the king's eldest brother is not weak. After listening to the story of King Cangnan, Jingye thought about it and said. He fought with the black-clothed man who came out at the end, and he probably knew his cultivation realm, but looking back at the bitterness behind King Cangnan, there was only one layer.
"Hahaha, the reason why this king is not afraid is because they can't kill this king at all, and today's assassination is just to see if this king has a backhand. It's just that they didn't expect that there would be a cultivator of the sixth layer of the Qi Sea Realm on the way. King Cangnan sat in his seat, a smile appeared on his face again, and he looked at Jingye and said meaningfully.
Jingye's expression was slightly condensed, he didn't know that his cultivation was actually seen by King Cangnan!
"I think the king's cultivation should not be weaker than mine, so even if they really do it, it will be easy for the king to solve them. It's just that I don't know, is it really just to apologize and thank me when the king called me here?" After thinking about it seriously, Jingye looked at King Cangnan calmly and said indifferently.
King Cangnan knew that Jingye was not so stupid, so he blinked his eyes and said with a straight face.
"Naturally, not only that, but the most important thing is that this king loves you!"
