Chapter 240: Single-handedly
Feng Ming Country Inn.
The four of them have changed into pale ink-colored women's official uniforms.
Zhang Hong came in from outside, his voice was irrepressibly excited, and he excitedly reported:
"Your Highness, His Royal Highness King Ling of Chiyang Kingdom invites His Highness to enter Yuchang Palace!"
Si Chen put down the scroll in his hand and got up from the soft couch, and Chang Xi, who was sitting on the chair opposite, stood up together.
Si Chen glanced at him and said lightly:
"If I haven't come back by sunset, and you don't get any news, go back."
The phrase "just go back" is very calm, but everyone knows that she is not talking about the natural and everyday situation of "going out and going home".
Chang Xi looked at her, smiled, stepped forward, stretched out her hand, and gently brushed the phoenix crown on her bun, and said:
"Your Highness will come back, I'll wait for Your Highness."
Si Chen didn't emphasize the words "You have to go back if you can't wait for me to come back", Chang Xi is not that kind of person, he knows what he should do, and he has the right judgment.
Si Chen glanced at him, without words, turned around, and left.
The four of them followed her.
Chang Xi stood in place, quietly watching them leave, until those backs disappeared from view little by little.
"Sinan." He called out in a deep voice.
A shadow-like figure suddenly appeared beside him: "My lord." ”
"How are things going on Leaf Island?"
"The previous Shoujing Daoist was executed by King Ling for eating inside and out, and now there are twelve people in the Chiyang Kingdom who study gunpowder, including the senior brother Jingyi Daoist of the Shoujing Daoist, as long as they are removed, the firearms of the Chiyang Kingdom will stop. The twelve people have all been locked, just waiting for the adults to give an order, the subordinates have already arranged, and this assassination will lead to Long Xiguo. ”
Chang Xi nodded: "I'm going out tonight, and you guard His Highness for me." ”
Si Nan was slightly stunned, usually as long as Chang Xi or Si Qian are there, these people will generally not have the opportunity to protect His Highness closely, there is no very important matter, Si Qian and Chang Xi will not leave His Highness's side, it seems that there is a very important event tonight.
Zhang Hong and Chang Xi are not familiar with each other, so he just had a stomach in the room but did not say anything, and now he followed Si Chen out of the room, he stepped forward quickly and said to Si Chen:
"Even if Your Highness doesn't bring Lord Gu and others, at least you have to allow the minister to lead a few people to escort His Highness into the palace, although it is said that the Yuchang Palace is a national council, but for His Highness, it is still very dangerous."
Si Chen stopped, glanced at him, and said:
"If Emperor Chiyang really killed me in Yuchang Palace, what can you do if you go with you, it's just to go to the funeral."
Zhang Hong was speechless.
"Even if the Chiyang Kingdom decides to send troops to attack the Fengying Kingdom now, you can't stop it, what you can do is either go back to your hometown and change careers, or die on the battlefield."
Zhang Hong's face is red, he is a general, and he is a bloody man, he has the dignity of being a soldier, but Si Chen said that he is useless, and he can't refute it, because although she said cruelty, those are unavoidable realities.
This sense of powerlessness and frustration of having no fighting spirit but no way to put it into action made him very unwilling.
Si Chen glanced at him, ignored him, and left.
Dou Xuan waited outside the gate of the post house.
He ordered someone to inform him, but no one invited him in, and he didn't have to go in, at least today he was interested, he stood with his arms folded and waited.
After waiting for a while, the door of the inn opened, and a phoenix chariot with a black veil hanging from all sides, carried by eight handsome and burly young men, walked out without hurry.
On both sides of the phoenix, two female officials wearing embroidered snake-patterned light ink official uniforms accompanied them.
Dou Xuan raised his eyebrows.
This kind of pomp is only ordinary in Chiyang Kingdom, and it is ordinary because the workmanship of this phoenix chariot is really gorgeous and elegant, what surprised him is that she did not bring an official from the Feng Ying Kingdom, not even a guard with weapons, first threw out such a tough threat, and now she wants to enter the palace alone, what does she want to do, Dou Xuan doesn't understand at all.
His eyes flashed slightly, he suddenly walked a few steps quickly, came to Feng Yuan, and called out with a smile through the curtain:
"Ma'am."
Feng Yuan did not stop advancing, there was silence behind the curtain for a moment, and he asked lightly:
"What is the matter with His Royal Highness King Ling?"
The voice was clear and pleasant, very different from the sticky and soft voice that almost melted the person that day, but it made Dou Xuan familiar, and this voice was very similar to the cold and clear sound when he was in Xiu Seyuan that night.
His mind sank slightly, and he felt even more suspicious, paused, and asked with a smile:
"Madame, are you planning to go to Yuchang Palace alone?"
Si Chen didn't answer, he walked beside Dou Xuan, and was sandwiched between him and Feng Yuan, Si Ba, who was very dissatisfied because he felt narrow, suddenly spoke, and said:
"Your Royal Highness King Ling, am I not human?"
Dou Xuan didn't expect the female official to be able to talk casually, so he glanced at her and didn't make a sound. However, Si Chen didn't answer him, Dou Xuan felt that he didn't want to pay attention to it, so he was bored, so he stopped following her.
He stopped, looked at Feng Ying and continued to move forward, at this time, he suddenly had some understanding of Yan Ying's words, Yan Ying once said that the Feng Lord of the Feng Ying Kingdom is a scourge that can disturb the world, and in her body, there is indeed this kind of quality.
Yuchang Palace.
After learning that the people of the Feng Ming Kingdom had entered the palace, the suspended Four Kingdoms restarted, and the people of the Four Kingdoms entered the table again, and everyone waited quietly, without saying a word, each with their own concerns, which caused the Yuchang Palace to be extremely quiet, and the needle could be heard.
Emperor Chiyang's face was solemn, and his left hand unconsciously rotated a string of jade beads.
Dou Xuan came in first and quietly returned to his previous seat.
After a while, a eunuch's loud voice came from outside the door of the main hall:
"His Royal Highness the Phoenix Lord of the Phoenix Kingdom has arrived!"
As soon as the words fell, a woman wearing an ink-black wide-sleeved embroidered flame phoenix robe walked in from outside, black beads, black clothes, vermilion lip grease, cold black and bright red intertwined, like a fire in the quiet night, roaring and burning in the biting cold.
She was followed by only four female officers in black clothes.
Not seeing a single official of the Feng Ying Kingdom was beyond everyone's expectations, and everyone looked at each other in amazement.
are all women, in addition to the country and the city, they are beautiful and ecstatic.
However, now is not the time to appreciate beauty.
Beauty is just a pleasure in a tedious life, but it's not the whole story, it's not the point.
No one will be in the mood to watch the beauty after seeing such an arrogant threat, and her beautiful appearance can't offset her disgust for her role as a threat to Shikoku.
"His Royal Highness Lord Feng really has the guts to go to the meeting alone!" Emperor Chiyang sneered and said loudly.
This is a sentence that has nothing to do with the four-nation meeting, and it is not a greeting between countries, so this sentence can be regarded as a threat hidden in it.
