Text Chapter 899 - Desert

"The martial arts competition at the beginning was very memorable...... Qin Liusu patted him on the shoulder and said. Dust? Edge? Literature ↘ → Net

"That's, I remember you lost......" Nangong Yi was a little proud.

Qin Liusu didn't care when he saw him like that, and said, "Winning or losing is a common thing in soldiers, if you only pursue winning or losing, it will be too undesirable......"

Thinking of his current identity again, he sighed and said, "I didn't expect you to be the prince of Nanling Kingdom......"

Seeing her like this, Nangong Yi only smiled self-deprecatingly, "I have never thought of myself as a prince, and you don't have to have any scruples......"

Qin Liusu knew that he was suffering again, so he only nodded, pulled the weeds on the side of the road, and played with them in his hands.

Thinking of the discussion between the two that day, I couldn't help but squint my eyes again, "I didn't expect that we could meet again for so many years, and we will be friends in the future!" ”

Qin Liusu stretched out his hand as he spoke, wanting to high-five Nangong Yi.

Seeing Nangong Yi looking at her hand, he smiled without warmth, "Friend? I'm sorry, I'm used to being alone......"

Qin Liusu put down his hand a little embarrassed and said, "I remember that you weren't like this before?" ”

"People will ......change" Nangong Yi breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the road in front of him and said, he was chic at that time, because those things had not happened yet, and now that he knows the truth, how can he forget? Continue to travel the rivers and lakes without heart and lungs.

Hearing him say this, Qin Liusu only nodded, feeling a little melancholy, looking at Nangong Yi's slightly melancholy side face, and smiled, isn't she the same, she used to be unrestrained, she didn't have to worry too much, she could go wherever she wanted according to her mood.

"By the way, did you come to the desert to help me find Senior Sister Gu......?" Qin Liusu asked.

"Yes and no......" Nangong Yi raised his eyebrows and said.

"What are you still selling, you are really scheming enough, I don't know if there is any work you have in Qi State?" Qin Liusu pinched the wild grass in his hand and said, only after finishing speaking, he remembered Ouyang Wen and bit the corner of his mouth.

Nangong Yi tugged at the corners of his mouth when he heard this, and said, "Heh, the fine work of the desert is better than the fine work of Daqi, interspersed ......"

Qin Liusu raised his forehead and asked again, "Senior Sister Gu is now in your Nanling Kingdom, why did you bring me to the desert?" ”

"Because I have to figure out one thing......" Nangong Yi said and pulled the horse rope again.

Qi Guo in the imperial study

Chu Jiechen faced the window, stood with his hands behind his back, and said slowly towards the kneeling person below, "What has that Ouyang Wen done recently?" ”

"Back to the emperor, the villain didn't notice anything abnormal...... My lord goes to court every morning, and when he comes back, he stays in the study, and then he teases the crickets......" said the kneeling man in black.

"What's weird in the study?" Chu Jiechen turned around and looked down, blocking out the sunlight shining in from outside.

"Back to the emperor, Lord Ouyang is very vigilant, the villain has not won the trust of Lord Ouyang, there must be something strange in the study, the villain found that he is quite cautious every time he enters the study...... The study will also be locked...... "The man told Chu Jiechen everything he knew, some time ago he was secretly summoned by Chu Juechen, let him sneak into Ouyang Wen's mansion, staring at Ouyang Wen, he was also very surprised, that Ouyang Wen was the closest minister to the person in front of him, but now, he asked him to come over to investigate him, it must be said, the king is like a tiger, and the king's trust is really limited.

Chu Juechen frowned, and only waved his hand to let him go down.

What did this Ouyang Wen do to make Xiaomei think that he was a spy of Nanling Kingdom? Since the last time she said that Ouyang Wen was not simple, he arranged someone to go to Ouyang Mansion to investigate secretly, and there has been no progress, so he gradually put his mind at ease, but why did she still leave a letter when she left, saying that Ouyang Wen was a meticulous work?

Xiao Yuzi saw Chu Juechen standing there, exhaled, walked over slowly, bent over and said, "Your Majesty......"

"What? No news yet? Chu Juechen looked at him and said leisurely.

"Now that the city gate has been strengthened, presumably the queen will not have a chance to get out of the Qi country......" Xiao Yuzi said.

"You don't have to guard the city gate, let me search along ......the big road and small road to Nanling Kingdom," Chu Juechen said slowly.

She knows the ability of the little sister, and now she hasn't caught her, so she is gone. Now, sending too many guards to guard the city gates will cause panic.

"Yes...... The emperor ......" Xiao Yuzi was still in place after speaking.

Chu Juechen glanced at him and said, "What? Anything else? ”

"Your Majesty, Concubine Lan has been waiting outside for a long time, look?" Xiao Yuzi glanced at Chu Juechen and said.

Chu Juechen was annoyed, and when he heard that it was her, he only waved his hand, and sat on the dragon chair without saying a word.

Xiao Yuzi saw Chu Juechen like this, and said, "Your Majesty, don't blame the slaves for talking too much, General Nalan has just settled the border and judged the chaos recently, and it is still a good ...... to meet."

Chu Jiechen heard him say this, thought about it, then nodded, and said, "Let her go to Shulan Zhai to wait."

Xiao Yuzi answered, walked out, and saw Nalan Kite standing outside the door, and had to admit that the name of the first beauty in Kyoto was not Bai Feng's.

His eyes were like water, but with the coldness of talking, he seemed to be able to see through everything, and stood there quietly, neither humble nor arrogant. Xiao Yuzi secretly thought that maybe this is the sorrow of a woman who has entered the palace.

Today she is wearing a white dress, rusty butterfly dark lines, a green silk with butterfly tassels shallowly raised, a butterfly carved from a night of pearls on the forehead, emitting a faint light, Emei lightly swept, no powder on the face, but still can't hide the stunning face, a crystal necklace around the neck, more and more called the collarbone clear, the white jade bracelet on the wrist lined with snow skin, a pair of gilt shoes on the feet decorated with gemstones, beautiful eyes flowing, like a pale butterfly that has lost its breath in the dark, and the expression is indifferent......

Xiao Yuzi walked in with a pacing step, and Nalan Kite saw that Xiao Yuzi's face did not fluctuate, and only owed to Xiao Yuzi.

"Niangniang, the emperor asked you to go to Shulan Zhai to wait......" Xiao Yuzi said.

Nalan Kite was a little surprised when she heard that Chu Juechen was willing to see her, nodded her head, and prepared to go over.

But he was stopped by Xiao Yuzi and said, "Niangniang, the emperor has been in a bad mood recently, but you have to serve the rest carefully, it depends on Concubine Lan herself......"

has been by Chu Juechen's side for so many years, he knows that Chu Juechen only has Qin Liusu in his eyes, but if he were an ordinary person, Chu Juechen would definitely be praised as an infatuated man, but he is not, he is an emperor, and he will definitely be laughed at behind his back. This time, Qin Liusu escaped from the palace privately, and the emperor was naturally angry, which was also a good time for other concubines in the palace to take the throne.

It's not that he can get much benefit by doing this, it's just that considering that Chu Juechen is an emperor, infatuation is a big taboo.

Hearing him say this, Nalan Kite only smiled at him, and moved to Shulanzhai.

On the way, Nalan Kite couldn't hide his excitement, and said to the mandarin duck beside him, "Quick, go and get my guzheng......"

I just heard about his troubles, and she just played a song for him to dispel his sorrows.

After Chu Jiechen dealt with the matter at hand, he went to Shulanzhai under the reminder of Xiao Yuzi.

When I walked to the door, I heard a very pleasant sound of the harp.

When I walked in, I saw Nalan Kite sitting on a low stool in a white shirt and playing the piano.

Seeing that the emperor was coming, Nalan Kite smiled, and was about to get up to take her luggage, but was stopped by Chu Jiechen and motioned for her to continue.

Chu Juechen walked over, sat on the stool, and listened to the crisp sound of the piano, as if the whole person was a lot more relaxed.

Seeing that Chu Juechen didn't show her a cold face for the first time, Nalan Kite's heart warmed, and she had been looking forward to this side for a long time......

After the song was played, Nalan Kite stood up and saluted.

Chu Juechen seemed to have just woken up from the wonderful sound of the piano just now, straightened his body, and ordered someone to sit down.

Nalan Kite sat down, his eyes refused to leave Chu Jiechen for a minute or a second, as if Chu Jiechen would disappear with a slight move of his eyes.

"The emperor's face has not been very good recently, and the concubine specially stewed soup for you......" said Nalan Kite, and motioned to the maid to bring the prepared soup.

Chu Jiechen saw that she had a heart, so he didn't touch her heart, picked it up and drank a few sips, and thought that Qin Liusu had also made soup for him before, so he suddenly felt tasteless and put it aside?

Seeing that Chu Juechen rarely did not refuse her, Nalan Kite saw that he stopped and asked, "Your Majesty?" How? But not to your taste? ”

"No, I don't have much appetite lately...... Chu Jiechen said after shaking his head.

Only then did Nalan Kite put his mind at ease.

Before, Chu Juechen's words to her were still hovering in her ears, but now, in front of her, the two of them could chat together so plainly, and they couldn't help but smile.

It's just that when she thought of Qin Liusu, she smiled again, and she began to think again, Qin Liusu would be in one day, and there would be no other women in Chu Juechen's eyes.

The other side

Qin Liusu has been working outside the sedan chair for a long time, and there is a lot of wind and sand in the desert, so she eats a lot of wind and sand, and then returns to the sedan chair to rest.

She couldn't figure it out, when Bei Hao Ming and Senior Sister Gu fell in love, and the relationship between the two was obvious to her, how could he let Senior Sister disappear for no reason?

It was dark, Nangong Yi parked the car outside the desert city, and there was no action.

"Why don't you leave?" Qin Liusu asked.

Nangong Yi glanced at her, pointed to the many guards guarding the city wall, and said, "Do you think we can go in?" ”

Qin Liusu was speechless, looked at the heavily guarded city gate and said, "Then what is this for?" Waiting for your meticulous work? ”

Nangong Yi nodded and said, "I'll make an appointment with her to meet here tonight...... There are still some things in the letter that are not clearly explained. ”

Qin Liusu heard her say this, and then got into the carriage.

Qiu Xiang heard Nangong Yi say this, and couldn't help but pull Qin Liusu's clothes and said, "Miss, is this person playing with us?" ”

Qin Liusu heard her say this, and smiled, "No, you can rest assured." He's a prince, why are you fooling us...... Wait, don't fool us, just see if that person comes."

As soon as Qin Liusu finished speaking, he saw Nangong Yi open the curtain and said, "There is food in the dark compartment of the stool, take it out and eat it when you are hungry......"

After saying that, he lowered the curtain and left.

Qin Liusu opened the dark grid, and sure enough, she saw a large bag of dry food, she hadn't eaten since she came out in the morning, she was going to be hungry, and this person didn't say it early.

After solving the stomach problem with Qiu Xiang, he remembered that Nangong Yi hadn't eaten either, so he took a steamed bun and went to him.

I saw him standing under a tree with his back hand, looking up at the moon that had just climbed into the starry sky in a daze.

She could see that Nangong Yi was very preoccupied......

She approached slowly, handed the steamed bun in her hand to him, "No, it's been a day's journey, let's eat......"

Nangong Yi was obviously disturbed, glanced at her, and then took the steamed bun handed over by Qin Liusu and ate it.

Qin Liusu looked at the starry sky, and there were screams all around, and he unconsciously stretched his waist and sighed, "It's so good!" ”

Nangong Yi bit the steamed bun and smiled, he didn't expect this Empress of Daqi to be so easily satisfied, but after thinking about it, staying in the palace all day, it was true that he didn't have much chance to see these beautiful scenery, so he took it for granted again.

"I haven't asked you yet, why did you go to the desert in the first place?" Qin Liusu asked.

"At that time, the relationship between the two countries was still good, and I took people to pay tribute......" Nangong Yi glanced at Qin Liusu and said, seeing her at that time was just accidental.

When he was wandering around, he saw Qin Liusu wielding a sword there, and he was attracted to the words in his mouth.

Nanling has a conservative national style, men farming and women weaving, and it was the first time he saw a girl dancing and playing with a gun, so he couldn't help but step forward to have a discussion.

Qin Liusu nodded, and was about to say something when he saw a dark shadow approaching.

Nangong Yi found himself and stepped forward, only to see that the man in black knelt down when he saw Nangong Yi and shouted "Prince......"

It's a girl.

"Get up...... Tell me about the situation here," Nangong Yi said.

Qin Liusu saw that the man looked at her, and he looked a little hesitant.

"It's okay to say it yourself," Nangong Yi said when she saw that she had some scruples.

When the man heard Nangong Yi say this, he said slowly, "I have been lurking by the princess's side for many years, and Gu Ruoyu's disappearance this time must be related to her......"
