Chapter 53: Cousin
The night wind gusted, and with a wave of the sword in Lan Zijin's hand, the torches in everyone's hands were split into two sections, the flames fell, and people hurriedly dodged.
Lan Zijin looked at the sword in his hand carefully, and said in his heart that this is worthy of being a gift from the first king, and it is really sharp.
"Just a few of you rabble, you also want to snatch things from her, it's really beyond your strength." Dongfang Luo Qi stood on the roof, dressed in white, and shouted to the people below.
When everyone heard the reputation, Dongfang Luo Qi flew down from the roof with a chuckle, his sleeves were blown up by the wind, and he slowly landed beside Lan Zijin.
"Why are you here?" Lan Zijin looked at him and asked, although his tone was indifferent, but he felt a little more at ease.
"How can this king watch you go to your death? If I don't come, you will definitely have no return for this trip, and when the time comes, Brother Wang will blame him, and I can't afford to bear it. ”
Dongfang Luo Qi stared at Lan Zijin intently and said with a smile.
"Lord Wang......" A woman's voice came, Lan Zijin and Dongfang Luoqi heard the voice, it was the girl who brought her food just now.
"You are?" Dongfang Luo Qi was puzzled.
The girl was sad and teary-eyed, for three years she had been looking forward to meeting him again, lovesickness and long-term love had become hurt, and she even felt that she would never be able to meet him again in this life, but now he appeared in front of her like this.
The girl stepped forward and looked at Dongfang Luoqi, her eyes full of love.
"Girl, this king doesn't seem to know you." Dongfang Luo Qi looked at the girl and made sure that he had not seen her.
Lan Zijin saw that this girl had an ordinary face and was as skinny as wood, so he stabbed Dongfang Luoqi with his arm and whispered in his ear: "This is your former little lover again, your taste is really very wide." ”
Dongfang Luoqi looked innocent and said, "I really don't know her!" ”
"Lord Wang, Liumeng, for you, she doesn't think about tea and food all day long, and she has been thinned like this, you can accept her with kindness!" The innkeeper knelt down, burst into tears, and said sincerely. And all the people also knelt down and bowed down to the prince of their eastern kingdom.
"Took her?" Dongfang Luoqi was surprised, did anyone accept this king?
"I have heard for a long time that the prince is suave, this child met you three years ago, and he has a deep affection for you, presumably you will not care about one more woman."
Lan Zijin laughed, looked at Dongfang Luoqi, and shook his head helplessly.
"No, father, the daughter has a low status and is not worthy of being a woman of the prince, as long as she can follow the prince, even if she is a slave or a maid, the daughter is willing!" Ryumu cried and said, helping her father to kneel on the ground, and kneeling down again.
Lan Zijin coughed and said, "That being the case, how can you explain that you poisoned my food and tried to rob me of things and take my life?" ”
"I didn't poison your food, there was only some stunning powder in the food, I just wanted to get a prince's thing, as a thought." Liumeng raised her head and looked at Lan Zijin, she knew that the woman in front of her should be very important to Dongfang Luoqi, her eyes were full of envy, how much she hoped that she could also stay by Dongfang Luoqi's side.
Lan Zijin put the sword into the sheath, stepped forward to help Liu Meng up, and when it touched her arm, Lan Zijin found that she was really skinny.
"Girl, thank you for liking Brother Luo Qi so much."
"Brother?"
"yes, you misunderstood. I'm not his woman, I'm his cousin, my name is Dongfang Zijin. After that, he glanced at Dongfang Luo Qi again, and made a look, "Yes, Brother Luo Qi." ”
Dongfang Luoqi smiled and said, "Hehe, yes, I'm her cousin." ”
The boss stepped forward and bowed and said, "I see, Miss Zijin, I am so offended." ”
"Get up, all of you. Now that everyone has spoken, let's prepare the meal again, this girl and the prince are also hungry. ”
Hearing what Lan Zijin said, Dongfang Luoqi hurriedly walked over and pulled her aside, and whispered, "Zijin, should we change stores." ”
"It's so late, how can there be an inn open, you have to hurry tomorrow, you don't have nothing to do." Lan Zijin walked to the side, handed over Chiye to one of the clerks, and returned to the room.
Dongfang Luoqi stood in place, thinking, nothing to do? Is this my business looking for something?
Back in the room, Lan Zijin and Dongfang Luo Qi looked at each other, and after a while, Liu Meng brought food and wine and put them on the table, Lan Zijin glanced at them and said, "This time there is nothing to stun the powder." ”
"Rest assured, girl." Ryumeng said as he looked at Dongfang Luo Qi from time to time.
"Alright, you go down first." Dongfang Luo Qi couldn't help but speak.
Liumeng reluctantly left, and after she left, Lan Zijin took out Dongfang Luoqi's waist card, took a little vegetable and rubbed it on the waist card, the waist card did not change color, and it was really non-toxic.
Seeing this, Dongfang Luo Qi said: "Eldest sister, I use this waist card that symbolizes identity, you just use it!" ”
"Hey, I can't help it, that's all I have on my silver, otherwise how can you let me test the poison?"
Dongfang Luoqi smacked his lips and said in disgust: "It's really a tyrannical thing." ”
Lan Zijin wiped the waist card, put it in his arms, glanced at Dongfang Luoqi and said: "Yes, you can't be violent and ruined, you hurry up and accept Miss Liumeng, lest people don't think about your tea and dinner, and lovesickness becomes a disease, you look at what other girls have lost for you!" ”
Thinking of Liumeng, Dongfang Luoqi shuddered and said, "Don't mention it, I didn't take the initiative to provoke her!" ”
"You didn't take the initiative to provoke her, your face provoked others. Why don't I help you? ”
"I still don't need your help, I don't want a few more ugly scars on my face!"
Lan Zijin smiled, it seems that he hasn't forgotten, last time she said that she wanted to help him avoid Simon Dailin's troubles, and this was the trick she had to use.
"No, think about it, we are about to go to Nangong Wangcheng, almost all the officials there recognize your face, why don't you pretend to be a woman, and I, pretend to be a man, so no one will be able to recognize us, what do you think?" Lan Zijin forced a smile and said seriously.
"Ridiculous! I am a dignified prince, pretending to be a woman, what kind of system! By the way, have you ever seen a woman as tall as me? Dongfang Luoqi almost didn't squirt out a sip of wine, put down the wine glass and said.
Lan Zijin still couldn't hold back in the end, and said with a smile: "Lord Wang, you actually take it seriously!" Haha, how could I really let you pretend to be a woman, but, hahahaha, but if you really pretend to be a woman, you must be very beautiful! ”
Dongfang Luo Qi glanced at her and said, "I'll ask you, don't have any bad ideas in the future, okay?" Your so-called methods, one is not as good as the other! ”
The night was sultry, Lan Zijin was very tired after a day of running, and after the two of them had eaten and drunk enough, she pushed Dongfang Luoqi out and closed the door, and said, "I'm going to rest, you let the boss open another room for you." ”
Dongfang Luoqi was swept out of the house, and just as he wanted to go downstairs, he saw a thin figure.
"Ryumu?"
Lu Meng hurriedly stood up, glanced at Dongfang Luo Qi and lowered his head shyly and said, "Lord Wang, your room has been prepared for you." ”
"Where?"
"Lord Wang, please come with me." As he spoke, Lu Meng guided Dongfang Luo Qi into a room not far away.
