Chapter 12: The Birth of the Dragon (2)
Jiang An said goodbye to Qin Shuyao in the imperial garden, reached out and touched the bulging bag in his arms, a trace of warmth flowed in his heart, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl.
Thyme, thyme, what a good name. He muttered, this is the most precious spice in Donglai Kingdom!
Pure sea thyme, produced in the middle of the pure sea in Donglai Luoyue Island, the island produces flowers named Caifu, ten years of flowering, three days and tune, when the flowers bloom, the island is full of fragrance, so the Luoyue Island has a nickname, "Xiang Island", and the hundred Caifu, can be made into a gram of thyme. It's just that the thyme is not as good as its name, the fragrance is floating for hundreds of miles, but it has no taste, but anyone with thyme will not invade with poison. And the people on the Falling Moon Island, with this spice, are rich.
Donglai people worship the gods, the thyme is regarded as a gift from the gods, and the legend is that the thyme is given to people, which can ensure the safety of a lifetime. Thinking of this, Jiang An couldn't help but smile bitterly, that girl was really willing.
What is the most precious spice, in Qin Shuyao's eyes, it is just a spice, how can it be compared to Jiang An?
I don't know what to do, and I go deep.
When he came to Yongfu Palace, Qin Lan, the king of Donglai, was sitting in front of the desk and watching a recital, frowning, and when he heard that someone was coming in, he didn't look up.
He bowed and whispered, "Father is well." ”
King Donglai gestured for him to get up. Press his temples, throw the fold to him casually, and sigh, "This is the new twist, Wang Er, take a look!" ”
Jiang An was puzzled, and picked up the fold at his behalf, looking at the handwriting composed of those delicate and fly-headed small letters, the handwriting was beautiful, but the content made him feel disgusted, and he couldn't help frowning. At this time, he even wanted to tear the piece into thousands of pieces!
"What does Wang Er think?" , King Donglai spit out such words in his mouth, as if he was physically and mentally exhausted from being tortured by these state affairs, he leaned back lazily in his chair, his eyes were closed, and the maid Qin Xiang beside him gently pinched his shoulder.
"Hmph." Jiang An put the fold in front of the case and sneered, "Qi Ning deceived me too much!" ”
"yes!" King Donglai opened his eyes and said slowly, "Wang Er also saw it, this is an urgent report from the southern border, and the country of Qi Ning actually opened up Shidu Mountain and stationed on the side of the Hengqin River!" ”
"Don't say it's the Hengqin River, the Shidu Mountain was originally the land of Donglai, a few years ago, in the name of the two countries' reconciliation, an exception was made to allow Qi Ning to be stationed in the sunny side of Shidu Mountain, and now it is an inch, and it is forced to my Hengqin River!"
Jiang An hurriedly finished reading it and put it in front of the case, "Father must have not informed the minister of this matter yet!" ”
King Donglai raised his head slightly, glanced at him meaningfully, paused, and just waved his hand, "A few days ago, Ye Huai, the king of Qiling, repaired the book to this king, and suggested that the border between the two countries should be bounded by the Hengqin River, which is really a headache!" ”
"Hmph," Jiang An walked slowly to the front of the case, pointing to the map spread out by King Donglai, "If the Hengqin River is the boundary, then the small town of Liaoyin in the south of the Hengqin River, the yin side of Shidu Mountain, wouldn't it be in vain with that perched lemon?" What's more......" his voice deepened, "the purple flowers and sunflowers on the shady slope of Shidu Mountain...... It can cure hundreds of poisons, and one plant is worth tens of thousands of gold. ”
"That Lemon King is here for the purple flower and sunflower!" King Donglai sighed, "What does Wang Er think of this matter?" ”
"Violate my borders, and punish them."
When Qin Lan heard him say this, she sighed lightly in her heart and wanted to speak, but she heard footsteps coming from the door.
The owner of the footsteps was a man, tall and long, with thick sword eyebrows, but his complexion was a little darker than Jiang An's. He hurried his steps, slammed in, and startled the tea maid to the point that she fell and almost fell.
"Your Excellency." The woman was so frightened that when she saw someone coming, she didn't bother to pick up the tea cup that was scattered on the ground, and hurriedly bowed.
Qin Lingyan didn't pay attention to the woman, and walked straight to the king of Donglai, shouting, "What did the king call me for?" ”
Raising his eyes and seeing Jiang An also standing in front of him, he suddenly patted him on the shoulder, and said with a hearty smile, "The prince is also here, hey, the palace is heavily guarded, and you are not allowed to enter and leave at will," he arched his hand, "But I haven't seen him for a long time!" ”
Jiang An nodded slightly and returned the salute.
"Nonsense!" King Donglai slapped a lot on the case and said, "I think you are over eighteen years old, and you are still acting so recklessly!" ”
King Donglai motioned for the palace maid who had been hit to get up and glared at Ling Yan. Qin Lingyan glanced at the woman slightly apologetically, knowing that without an order, she would never dare to get up, she sighed in her heart, and hurriedly bowed to her hand, "King Wan'an." ”
Jiang An stood aside with his hands down, and sighed in his heart, Qin Lingyan was the only one in this palace who ignored complicated etiquette. Nian Qi is the nephew of King Donglai, with a noble status, and his parents died early, Qin Lan knew that his personality was uninhibited, and he went many times.
"Wan An." Qin Lan snorted sullenly, repeated the last two words he said, and threw the urgent report at him, "Call the two of you for this matter." ”
Qin Lingyan's eyes were suspicious, he glanced at Jiang An, hurriedly read the urgent report, his brows were twisted, and he threw it on the case, his face was gloomy, and he no longer spoke.
"What does Ling'er mean?"
"Fight."
He suddenly arched his hand and said, "Wanzhou City Lord Qin Lingyan is willing to go to the Hengqin River to attack him." ”
When Qin Lan heard this, she laughed loudly. I knew he would answer like that.
"This king also wants to do so, but in this world, it's not just me Donglai and Qi Ning!" King Donglai stood up, his finger pointed at the spread map, drawing a small circle, Qin Lingyan followed his finger, frowned, "The king is afraid that the Moon Cherry Kingdom in the east will take advantage of the situation?" ”
"Yes, now Qi Ning, Donglai, and Yueying are three-legged, evenly matched, and the snipe and mussels compete for the fisherman's profit."
"What does the father mean......" Jiang An on the side looked at the map, knowing that King Donglai had a plan.
"Distant and close attack." Qin Lan took the tea handed over by Qin Xiang, took a sip, and put it on the table.
Jiang An's heart suddenly swelled with an ominous premonition, "Dare to ask my father, why do you want to make friends?" ”
Hearing him ask, Qin Lan put down the teacup, his expression was slightly moved, he sighed, and said, "A few days ago, Lu Ying, the monarch of the Moon Cherry Kingdom, cultivated his book, and his words were sincere, and he wanted Shu Yao to be the queen. ”
"King!"
When Jiang An heard this, although he was shocked, it was Qin Lingyan who made this sound, and when he heard this, his face turned dark, his eyes seemed to be spewing fire, and he hurriedly stepped forward, "The king must not!" ”
Qin Lan listened to him and glanced at him, the expression on his face was a little gloomy, and he was contemplative, and he didn't answer anymore.
"Great King......" He still wanted to say something, but when he saw Jiang An waving his hand at him, although he was indignant in his heart at this time, he had to be silent.
Jiang An looked at Qin Lan and asked softly, "Father agreed?" ”
"Not yet."
"So, does my father want to agree?" Jiang An groaned slightly, and said slowly, "Father has asked what Shu Yao means?" ”
Qin Lan waved her hand, "This matter, she can't help it." ”
"Hmph, Donglai does not seek self-improvement, but sacrifices the princess to seek partial peace, and here is empty words to send troops to live in Ning, and he is not afraid of the shame of the world!"
Qin Lingyan's eyes erupted angrily, ignoring Jiang An's stop, and sneered coldly.
"Ah Ling, the king has not yet made a decision, don't say more!" Jiang An didn't expect this Qin Lingyan to say such a disrespectful word, so he shouted to stop.
"Oh? According to you, if this king takes Shu Yao with Ye Huai, will the world be laughed at, and there will be no way to faint the king? ”
King Donglai's tone suddenly turned cold, left the throne, and walked straight towards Qin Lingyan.
"A Yaogui is my princess Donglai, who is famous for her intelligence and beauty, and only the king of a country can match it, and her father is wise."
"Did the king ask you?" Qin Lan snorted Jiang An, Jiang An had no choice but to shut up, he raised his head, "Ling'er, you say." ”
Qin Lingyan knew that he had lost his words and angered the king, although he was upset in his heart, he had no way to attack at this time, so he had to kneel, "The king is wise, and his subordinates dare not make comments in vain." ”
King Donglai walked up to him, looked at him condescendingly, and after a while, he moved his gaze to the rockery outside the window, and sneered, "Don't you dare to say now?" You're getting pretty fast. ”
His eyes were like swords, and his voice was cold, "But you have already commented in vain, and your comments are very unsatisfactory to this king." ”
Qin Lingyan looked down and saw that the feet had left him, although he was kneeling, he was still unconvinced in his heart, and he hung his head silently.
Qin Lan looked at him steadily, turned around and sighed, "You can go and get thirty boards, so that I can teach you this young man, your temper, you will suffer a big loss in the future." ”
"Hmph." Qin Lingyan snorted coldly from his nose, stood up, didn't look at him, and walked out of the door.
