CHAPTER XXIV

"My lord, the dowry has been delivered, and Simon has agreed to the matter of harmony, and has sent an envoy to my east to discuss the matter. The minister's request, whether it is immediately announced to the world. ”

In the imperial study, Prime Minister Zuo arched his hands, waiting for Dongfang Luoyu's will. Dongfang Luoyu stood up, looked at the sky outside through the window, thoughtfully, and faced the most trusted minister and his mentor, Prime Minister Zuo, he said quietly: "Can you take a while?" Widow, after dealing with some matters, then tell the world. ”

"Lord, time is running out, now that the situation is turbulent, this matter cannot be eased!" Prime Minister Zuo persuaded him with good words, this is not the Dongfang Luoyu he knows, the former Dongfang Luoyu will never be so indecisive, and he can always handle the major affairs of the DPRK and China properly, without showing a trace of embarrassment. What is it that makes him so worried?

The former Dongfang Luo Yu swore to him that he must unify the four countries and let the people of the four countries never suffer from war. That unwavering belief made many generals swear to follow, in the end, he is a man of flesh and blood, even if he shoulders heavy responsibilities, he is still inevitably disturbed by the world.

Dongfang Luo Yuguang clenched his hands into fists in his sleeves, clenched them unconsciously, and his face showed a little sadness, his eyebrows frowned slightly, but his tone was still so cold, "Well, I know." So be it. ”

After Prime Minister Zuo retreated, he couldn't wait to call a carriage and rushed to Dongfang Luoqi's palace. When he arrived at the door, he climbed over the wall and did not find Lan Zijin in the house. He walked out in a little panic, looked around the house, and found her trace by the lotus pond.

The lotus flowers in the palace bloomed so early, presumably she did it.

"Ah, you ask me if I have someone I like? Well...... It's such a blatant question, why are you all so bad. Hee-hee, I won't tell you! Lan Zijin sat by the lotus pond as if talking to someone, Dongfang Luoyu quietly got closer, but she found out.

She hurriedly stood up and watched Dongfang Luoyu come over, with a bright smile on her face.

"You're here."

Dongfang Luoyu stepped forward, posted very close, looked at her and said, "The widow also wants to know who the person my family likes is." ”

Lan Zijin's ears were slightly red, and he lowered his head shyly, and said, "What I like is a very chic man, but he is always cold to me sometimes, so I don't like him." ”

Dongfang Luoyu hugged her into his arms and said, "Oh? Don't like it already? ”

Lan Zijin didn't speak, immersed in his arms, the faint aroma of his body intoxicated her, and the firm chest made her feel warm.

"Today, how can you have time to come and see me."

"Ben doesn't have time, but the widow really, I miss you very much."

"What have you been up to lately?"

"The battle at the border pass, the army of the Northern Mortal has occupied the two cities in the east."

Hearing this, Lan Zijin raised his head, looked at his shocking and impeccable face, and asked, "Are the East and the North Hells going to war?" ”

"Well, the widow knows that the North Underworld is your home country, but the North Underworld strikes first, and we have to fight as a last resort."

"Why do you want to fight, and if you fight a war, will you kill a lot of people?"

"The four kingdoms are divided, and the kings are greedy. As the strongest of the four kingdoms, the North and South Palaces have already plotted to encircle and suppress together, trying to carve up the territory of our east. Together, wars will inevitably bring harm to innocent people. Therefore, my lifelong wish is to complete the hegemony of the previous kings and unify the four countries, so that the people will no longer suffer from war, no longer have to live a life of exile, and live a peaceful life. Dongfang Luoyu said these words earnestly, and Lan Zijin saw that his eyes revealed firmness and desire for dreams.

If the four countries are reunified, then everyone will be able to live and work in peace and contentment. Lan Zijin thought so, looked at Dongfang Luoyu's eyes with a little more admiration, and said, "It would be nice if it could really be like this." I'm sticking with you! However, this matter is not easy to do, and I am afraid that there will be thousands of difficulties. ”

"I'm not afraid of all the dangers. What scares me the most now is that you don't want to believe me. Zijin, no matter what decision I make, you must remember that I am for the grand plan of unifying the world and for the sake of all the people in the world, okay? Dongfang Luo Yuyi was stern, his expression was slightly panicked, he let go of his arms around Lan Zijin, and stared at her tightly, waiting for her to answer.

Lan Zijin was a little dazed, and replied lightly: "Hmm." I will. She didn't think about it, what Dongfang Luoyu had to decide, and she didn't know how deeply he could hurt her in the future.

Dongfang Luoyu hugged her into his arms again, his heart fluttered, if one day, he really needed to hurt the woman in his arms, although he couldn't help himself, he knew that he would still do it.

Lan Zijin's smile was imprinted in his heart, but he still wanted to share the bed with other women, is this the taste that the king of a country needs to bear?

"Zijin, what have you learned on Taisheng Mountain?" Dongfang Luoyu took Lan Zijin's hand and walked in the garden of the palace.

"Well, I memorize books every day, practice swords, and memorize exercises, but I don't learn very well, hehe."

"Then what did you do in Nangong?"

"Nangong, what I miss most about Nangong is that there are many flowers there like the sea, and in normal times, I just stay in the prince's mansion, read the script, pick flowers, and drink, which is quite boring."

The two chatted about the fact that they had no contact with each other in the past, and suddenly Dongfang Luoyu asked: "Zijin, do you still have feelings for Nangong Yu now?" ”

Lan Zijin stopped, thought about it seriously, and said: "There used to be, I felt very hazy, I just felt that I had already married him and I didn't have to choose, so I tried to like him, he used to dance the sword for me at the banquet, and took me out to play, I was very happy." I thought that feeling might just be like. Now that I think about it, it's just a woman's blind dependence on her husband. Because I married him, I used to want to entrust the rest of my life. When I learned that he was just using me as a pawn instead of his wife, and that he was going to hunt me down, I didn't feel that anymore. ”

"And now? Do you like me? Dongfang Luoyu also stood in place, pretending to ask casually.

"Now, you're my man." Lan Zijin replied firmly.

Dongfang Luoyu snorted softly and said, "Nangong Yu's swordsmanship is indeed good, but compared to the widow, what does Zijin think?" ”

"I don't know, he didn't show his kung fu in front of me, he just danced the sword." Lan Zijin waved and said.

"Borrow your dragon sword and use it." Dongfang Luoyu stretched out a hand as she spoke, and the sword in Lan Zijin's cuff slipped into her hand, and she handed it to Dongfang Luoyu.

Dongfang Luoyu picked up the sword, pulled out the scabbard, pinched the short dagger into a long sword, jumped into the garden, held the sword in his right hand, and put his left hand behind him, and said, "That widow is also willing to offer a sword dance for Zijin." Would Zijin be willing to take a look? ”

"Hmm!" Lan Zijin stepped aside, with an expectant look.

Dongfang Luo Yuguang waved his sleeves, and a sword dance was presented in front of Lan Zijin, his swordsmanship was excellent, and the sword dance was also very attractive, with his handsome posture and chic movements, compared to Nangong Yu, he was proficient in swordsmanship, and he added many changes, calm and powerful, gorgeous and real.
