Chapter 388: Other Thoughts

When Murong Chuan's father and son welcomed themselves back from the Far North, it was Murong Ding who personally welcomed them to the old capital of the Western Desert!

Even if Zhong Limo at this moment does not have the status of Xue'er when he was in the Western Desert, it is just that he can't see people in the royal family to greet him, why can't he even see an official?

But after all, this is Nanping's matter, and it can also be said to be Zhong Limo's family matter, and it is inconvenient for her to be an outsider, so she can only mutter in her heart.

In such doubts, this group of people finally arrived at Ruiyang, the capital of Nanping.

When she was on the way, Xue'er learned from Zhong Liyang that there are many valleys and dense forests in the south of Nanping, and only there is a small plain at the southern foot of Luoxia Mountain, which is also the most densely populated area in Nanping.

At the same time, because it is surrounded by mountains, the cold air in the north is not allowed to enter, which makes the climate here warm and humid, and the four seasons are like spring.

However, when this group of people appeared at the gate of Ruiyang, they found that there were not many people coming and going, and it was even a little strangely deserted, and even on the always lively streets, there were not many people in sight!

Because this team was sent to the Western Desert by Nanping to congratulate the Western Desert Emperor Sun Murong Yuan's wedding, after returning to Ruiyang, he should enter the palace to return to the emperor, and Zhong Limo was no exception, so after entering the city, they acted separately.

But because of the extra Xue'er, Zhong Limo had to consider settling Xue'er first, and then returning to the emperor of Nanping.

So Xue'er followed Zhong Limo, and after separating from Nanping's envoy team, she came to Zhong Limo's Lingwang Mansion.

Along the way, Zhong Limo's face was ugly, and a deep word "Chuan" was twisted out of his eyebrows, and he couldn't hide the worry in his eyes.

What the hell is going on, when the battle between Dongling and Ximo is in full swing, and Nanping may face the pressure of the army at any time, Ruiyang City doesn't even have a normal defense!

Zhong Limo's face was gloomy, his eyes were even a little gloomy, and even his usual rolling steps became rapid and messy.

Xue'er was surprised in her heart, and asked Zhong Liyang beside her with her eyes, the latter shrugged her shoulders, but her eyes fell on Zhong Limo's back in front of her, and her face was as silent as a cicada.

Xue'er had no choice but to give up, followed behind Zhong Limo, hurried all the way, and soon came to a mansion.

The scale of King Ling's Mansion is not large, and some of the buildings are even a little old, which can also be seen that Zhong Limo, the sixth prince, has not a very high status in Nanping, or has been excluded.

Because there was no notice in advance, no one greeted the gate of King Ling's Mansion, and even the two gates were tightly closed.

Zhong Limo's expression was a little tired, and Zhong Liyang, who had been following Zhong Limo with a dead face, pouted, and his face was already very dissatisfied.

If Zhong Limo wasn't still on the side, if this wasn't Zhong Limo's mansion, looking at his expression, it seemed that he couldn't wait to step forward and kick the door open!

Patiently knocked on the knocker of the door, and then learned that Suosuo's footsteps were from far and near, and then someone spoke: "My prince is in poor health, and it is inconvenient to see guests recently, so please come back after a while." ”

Because Zhong Limo is not an upright envoy to the Western Desert, in Nanping, he is nominally sick and does not see guests for the time being.

At this moment, Xue'er was standing behind Zhong Limo, naturally unable to look at the other party's expression, only an imperceptible sigh floated over gently.

"I almost forgot about it!" Zhong Limo smiled self-deprecatingly, and when he turned around, his anxious expression had been forced to suppress by him.

He looked at Xue'er apologetically, "I have no choice but to grieve Miss Shen for entering through the back door, and I hope you will forgive me." ”

Xue'er hugged the black eagle in her arms and smiled lightly: "It's okay." ”

After these two words were spoken, even Xue'er herself was startled, her tone seemed to be very similar to a person!

That person was always dark and light, his face was not shocked, and when he spoke, he cherished words like gold, and his tone was imperceptible to doting, and he said to her: "Girl, it's okay." ”

Xue'er shook her head, trying to shake this thought out of her mind, at such a worrying moment, why did she suddenly remember the past tribulation?

It's just that she relied on the dress of Nanping's guards to hide her identity all the way, and she didn't complain about anything, and now she naturally won't care about the front and back doors.

What's more, along the way, although Zhong Limo has few words, he is sincere to Nanping, which also makes Xue'er feel awe.

Yes, awe, the awe of a man who has the world in mind and worries about the country and the people. This kind of awe, even the dissatisfaction caused by the flying knife and the horse at the beginning seems to have been dispelled a lot!

Seeing that Zhong Limo was turned away from his mansion, the unhappiness on Zhong Liyang's face was very obvious, and he moved his lips: "Sixth brother! ”

Zhong Limo stopped the other party with his eyes: "Miss Shen doesn't mind, don't say anything more!" ”

"I-" Zhong Liyang wanted to say something more, but Zhong Limo had already turned around first, and reached out to Xue'er to make a gesture of please.

Seeing that the two of them were far away from the gate of King Ling's Mansion, Zhong Liyang had no choice but to swallow the rest of his words back angrily and hurriedly catch up with the two of them.

The three of them circled around the wall of King Ling's Mansion, got into a narrow alley, and finally came to an inconspicuous small door, which should be the back door of King Ling's Mansion.

Zhong Limo raised his hand and knocked on the door again, three long, three short, and finally one longer, and when he heard a "squeak", the two doors were opened from the inside.

A beautiful woman in her early twenties, wearing an embroidered shirt often worn by Nanping women, appeared at the door, and her eyes suddenly fell on Zhong Limo: "Lord Wang? ”

She looked excited, and when she spoke, she was already full of tears, and even her voice was choked, as if she had endless grievances: "You are finally back......"

Seeing the woman, Zhong Limo was also stunned for a moment, and even hurriedly stepped forward to help the woman: "There are so many people in the house, why did you come to open the door in person?" ”

As soon as Zhong Limo knocked on the door, the other party opened the door, and it was obvious that he had been guarding behind the door, waiting for Zhong Limo to return.

This made Zhong Limo also a little moved, and reached out to wipe the tears on her cheeks, but for some reason she took it back, but just softened her voice and said, "Susu, thank you for your hard work." ”

However, Rao was like this, and the woman who was called Susu also showed a flattered expression. Facing Zhong Limo's eyes, it was like a couple who had reunited after a long absence, and only each other was left in their eyes.

At this time, Zhong Liyang behind him pushed Xue'er and walked in, and when he closed the wooden door, he made a "squeak" sound again, waking up the pair of people who only had each other in their eyes.

Xue'er looked at it in a daze, until Zhong Liyang beside her spoke: "Sixth brother, sixth sister-in-law, you ......"

Zhong Limo quickly came back to his senses, and the whole person became calm again, a trace of gloom flashed in Su Su's eyes on the side, and then he pulled out a smile: "It turns out that the seventh brother is also back." ”

Then after a few more polite sentences, Su Sucai shifted her gaze to Xue'er's body and ordered: "Take care of the prince along the way, you have also worked hard, go down first!" ”

Is this treating himself as Zhong Limo's entourage? Xue'er was stunned for a moment before she reacted, and she didn't refute, but lowered her head and responded: "Yes." ”

Zhong Limo was also stunned for a moment, and then he reacted, Xue'er was still behind him, turned his head and smiled awkwardly at Xue'er, and said in a low voice: "Those who don't know are not guilty, and I hope Miss Shen will forgive me." ”

Xue'er naturally didn't think it was wrong: "Your Highness is serious. ”

Su Su looked at Zhong Limo, and then at Xue'er, she was smart and guessed something in an instant.

She was silent, with a hint of hesitation on her face, and her gaze had changed when she looked at Xue'er again.

"Lord Wang, this is ......" Her voice was still gentle, but her attitude towards Xue'er had changed.

Zhong Limo said: "Susu, please go and prepare the best room and settle this girl down." ”

He didn't even introduce Xue'er's identity to Su Su from beginning to end, but said to Xue'er: "Miss Shen, this is Humble Jing, if you need anything in King Ling's Mansion, just tell her." ”

The woman's sensitivity made Su Su's face a little ugly, but the princess's reserve and arrogance did not allow her to pull down her body and ask more, so she had to smile gently at Xue'er.

Xue'er was stunned for a long time before she reacted, this woman who was guarding the back door regardless of her identity, waiting for Zhong Limo's return, turned out to be his wife, the mistress of King Ling's Mansion - Princess Ling!

And Zhong Limo actually used the title of "clumsy jing", which was even more unexpected by everyone present, even Zhong Liyang showed a strange look, but he just forced himself to endure it.

Xue'er didn't dare to slack off, just because she didn't understand Nanping's etiquette, so she had to clasp her fist at the other party and salute: "Princess Niangniang, Xue'er is polite!" ”

Because Zhong Limo didn't want her to reveal her true identity, and Xue'er didn't want to be too rude in front of Princess Ling, she didn't claim her full name, and she also practiced a nondescript etiquette.

However, she didn't know that this move had already made Princess Ling's heart alarmed, but she just kept silent.

Because of Zhong Limo's attitude, Princess Ling Susu naturally would not accept Xue'er's gift, so she quietly and skillfully avoided it, and at the same time, she showed a hint of surprise because of Xue'er's etiquette.

"Miss Xue'er doesn't need to be polite," Su Su quickly regained her gentleness and dignity, "Since she is the prince's honored guest, Su Su should treat her with courtesy." ”

The greetings and politeness finally came to an end temporarily, and Xue'er was relieved. Zhong Liyang was obviously very familiar with Ling Wangfu, and volunteered to run to the front to lead the way, leaving Zhong Limo and Su Su, a couple, to accompany Xue'er to walk forward slowly.

Zhong Limo whispered a few words to Su Su, which naturally meant that Xue'er had a special identity, so let Su Su not be lazy. Su Su always maintained a gentle smile and responded one by one.

After Zhong Limo asked about Rui Yangcheng's abnormal situation, Xue'er had no intention of interfering in Nanping's internal affairs, so she quickened her pace and caught up with Zhong Liyang, leaving Zhong Limo and his wife alone.

Zhong Liyang saw Xue'er chasing after him, he was stunned for a moment, then showed a satisfied look, and whispered, "You are self-aware. ”

Cher raised her eyebrows: "I said it at the beginning, I just want to wake up Black Hawk and leave quickly." ”

Zhong Liyang nodded, but asked with some reluctance: "You really don't have any other thoughts about my sixth brother?" ”

This time, it was Xue'er's turn to react: "What other thoughts?" ”
