Chapter 304: Rival in Love
Lin said darkly: "I have made up my mind, don't say more!" ”
Lin Zhongchao said, "I beg you, dark night, for the sake of thousands of people, don't open the border gate, don't cooperate with the Beidi people, and don't marry them." ”
"I know, you're afraid, you're afraid that after I unite with Beidi, I'll be stronger than you, aren't you?" Lin sneered.
In the room, on the side of the bed, there is a weapon shelf made of mahogany, the pillars and beams of the shelf are evenly thick, and they are polished very smooth and exquisite.
Lin Zhongchao said: "You have changed! Why did you get so fast? If Lao An Wang is here, he will definitely be sad. ”
"I was that kind of person, and you imagined me too well." Lin Dark Night put his hand on the weapon rack, looking unwilling to pay attention.
Lin Zhongchao left! Say no more.
On Beidi's side, the second princess Yelu Nalan was talking to her father in the imperial study.
At the border in spring, the wind blows very tightly. It often carries sand and dust, which hurts people.
At this time, the southern country is already full of flowers, but the border is still the same, and there will be light snow from time to time.
But the traces of spring, carefully observed, still found, on the poplar, a little bit of new green has been drilled out, very small, but very tender.
"Father, what my daughter likes is Lin Zhongchao, even if Lin Zhongchao has no intention of marrying us, my daughter will never marry Lin Dark Night." Yelu Nalan was wearing a purple Han skirt and said softly.
Compared with the arrogance and liveliness of the eldest princess Yelu Ruyan, who was pampered in the palm of her hand, the second princess Yelu Nalan is as her name suggests, gentle and quiet. But for love, the two sisters are the same, and they are unwilling to marry someone they don't like.
"Nonsense! Don't let your father down like your sister did. Emperor Beidi frowned, a princess who escaped from marriage has already made Beidi be made fun of in the world, but he can't come to a second one.
Otherwise, wouldn't the people of the world laugh at the princess of Beidi, who is disobedient?
"Father, since my daughter saw Lin Zhongchao on the battlefield, she swore that he would not marry in this life. If you have to get married, why Lin Dark Night, can't Lin Zhongchao? Yelu Nalan remembered Lin Zhongchao's bravery and good fighting on the battlefield, as if he had entered a no-man's land! And the decisive victory in the tent is thousands of miles away, strategizing, and the dragon and phoenix among the people, it can be imagined.
Yeronalan can never be forgotten.
"My father also wants to marry you to Lin Zhongchao, but Lin Zhongchao refuses to marry us, there is no way, since Lin Diye is willing, he is also a good match with you." Emperor Beidi said helplessly.
"Father, since you also agree that your daughter and Lin Zhongchao are together, then we will find a way to make Lin Zhongchao agree. Why is Lin Zhongchao unwilling? Yelunalan touched his hair, "What if he had seen a portrait of his daughter?" ”
Yelu Nalan is very beautiful, although he is from Beidi, he has the temperament of a Jiangnan person, and usually, he always loves Hanfu dress.
If you walk on the street and don't know her, it's not surprising that you are afraid that you will treat her as a Han woman.
Emperor Beidi frowned, "Lin Zhongchao is afraid that he has already belonged to him." ”
"My daughter inquired, that girl's name is Zhou Zhengzheng, and she is the daughter of Zhou Jinxuan, the Duke of Wu."
"Zhou Jinxuan?" Emperor Beidi repeated that back then, Zhou Jinxuan and the prince of the Da Ming Dynasty guarded the border passes, fought Beidi, and wiped out the largest tribe in Beidi, so that the power of Beidi is not as good as it was back then.
This is all a good thing that Zhou Jinxuan has done.
"It turned out to be Zhou Jinxuan's daughter. The tiger father has no dog girl, since Lin Zhongchao will love her alone, it can be seen that she must have something extraordinary. Emperor Beidi said.
"No matter how good it is, my daughter has to fight, besides, Zhou Zhengzheng and Lin Zhongchao are so far away, but I am different. If you don't see each other for a long time, your feelings will naturally fade. Yelu Nalan said confidently, "My daughter likes Han culture, and Lin Zhongchao is the top man among the Han people, if I can marry him, it will not be in vain." ”
"Since you insist on fighting, then I will promise you, but if you can't fight, you have to be obedient." The emperor finally said.
"Okay." Yelu Nalan didn't think he would be able to fight. Since childhood, Yelu Nalan has not been as favored as her sister Yelu Ruyan, but she has also developed Yelu Nalan's deep scheming.
In the barracks.
Lin Zhongchao was wearing a cotton inner robe, with a silver hollow auspicious cloud pattern trimming exposed inside, a narrow jade belt tied around his waist, and a purple-green robe on the outside, with a gold thread embroidered moire trim at the bottom of the robe, flipping through a book.
The messenger of Beidi walked in.
"His Royal Highness King Yu, this is a portrait of our second princess." The messenger opened a scroll of portraits.
The woman in the painting is wearing a silky green pleated skirt, a moire brocade shirt on the upper body, a pure white Xia shawl on the outside, a red ribbon around her waist, which is very eye-catching, and a pair of foundation boots on her feet.
"It doesn't look like a Beidi person, it's no different from a Han person." Lin Zhongchao glanced at it casually and continued to read.
"Yes, our second princess admires Han culture, just as she admires you, King Yu." The messenger was very good at talking.
Lin Zhongchao said lightly: "What does that have to do with me?" ”
"The person our second princess wants to marry is you, King Yu. And the person our emperor wants to marry is also you, King Yu. As long as you agree, King Yu, we Beidi will be your strongest backing King Yu. The messenger said.
Lin Zhongchao laughed: "The most solid backing? Forget it! Don't think about encroaching on our Central Plains, just thank God. ”
"But our second princess, you have one heart for King Yu."
"But I don't like her." Lin Zhongchao lowered his face, "Send off guests." ”
The messenger went away with his tail between his legs.
Under the gloomy sky, the drizzle was blurred, and at the gate of the Great Xiangguo Temple, there was not even a person, only the two stone lions, still squatting firmly in place, guarding their territory.
The vermilion wall was slightly damp in the drizzle, but the grass in the corner of the wall was vibrant, and from the mountain gate, a two-person high copper furnace was placed in the middle, curling light smoke, and the lingering smell of incense and candles in the air.
Du Jianbo's black hair was coiled high, he was wearing a cyan vertical robe, and on his feet were hollowed-out Luohan shoes.
For this trip to the Great Xiangguo Temple, Du Jianbo can be said to be looking forward to it day and night, and the purpose of coming to the Great Xiangguo Temple is to count the corners of the eaves and enlighten himself to his Zen understanding.
Beside him, Zhou Yuheng was wearing a yellow and white piping jacket, and a piece of jade around his waist was very eye-catching.
It's just that Zhou Yuheng is not interested in this number of eaves corners. If it weren't for Du Jianbo's invitation, Zhou Yuheng would not have come to this Daxiangguo Temple.
