Chapter 96: Rejected
Listening to Nangong Jingchen's gentle voice, Baili Lan's heart still had a trace of softness. But she was really not used to being cared for like a fragile doll, so she shook her shoulders and refused Nangong Jingchen's reassurance with a cold face.
Dong Xue, who was vigilantly checking the surrounding environment in front of the boat, suddenly frowned, got up and looked at the other side of the river, and then shouted loudly: "There is an ambush ahead, protect the county lord and the little prince!" ”
In a crisis situation, Dongxue thought of her masters, which was a good thing for Baili Lan, but for Nangong Jingchen, it was a very shameful thing.
Standing in place with a black face, Nangong Jingchen said with a little displeasure: "This king is also the husband of your master, you should respect this king anyway, even if you ignore it on weekdays, do you have to turn a blind eye to this kind of crisis?" ”
"When is it, you still have time to talk about this!" Bai Lilan bumped Nangong Jingchen with her elbow, frowned and said, "I don't know what the other party is about, hurry up and get ready!" ”
Seeing Baili Lan's anxious appearance, Nangong Jingchen couldn't help but laugh, shaking his head, and seemed to be very happy. And seeing Nangong Jingchen like this, Bai Lilan also had questions in her heart. Striding to the bow of the boat, Baili Lan looked in the direction that Dongxue was pointing to, and the black shadow that made Dongxue frightened was not an assassin at all, but a common person standing on the shore, looking forward to it.
The people of Lanling didn't know where to get the news, saying that the king of Lanling and the princess of Lanling were coming back, everyone was very happy, and spontaneously rushed to the dock, they wanted to see the king of Lanling and the princess of Lanling in person, and thank these two legendary heroes for bringing them and even the entire people of Bac Ninh safe!
Bai Lilan didn't like such a dense crowd, so she frowned and returned to the cabin, looked at Xiao Bao, who was reciting poems, and said, "Xiao Bao, come here, the eldest sister will give you a disguise." ”
"Huh?" Xiaobao looked at Baili Lan with some confusion and asked, "Eldest sister, we are about to go to Lanling, why do you have to change your appearance?" Isn't there a brother-in-law to protect us? ”
"How many times have I said that you don't point fingers at others to protect you, how can you still think like that?" Bai Lilan looked at Xiaobao unhappily, and at the same time, her hand was not idle, she took out an ordinary-looking box and began to rub it on Xiaobao's face.
Nangong Jingchen, who came later, knew what she was planning after seeing Baili Lan's actions. It's just that he didn't agree with Baili Lan's approach, so he reached out to hold her hand and said, "Lan'er, you always protect Xiaobao in your own way, but have you ever thought that Xiaobao likes it?" Let's take a moment of things, the people like us to welcome us, isn't it good to let Xiaobao feel such an atmosphere in person? ”
"How can you be sure that among those people, there are no bad intentions?" Bai Lilan shook off Nangong Jingchen's arm and said in a cold voice, "If you can't be sure, then please shut up!" ”
"You're overprotective!" Nangong Jingchen stood opposite Baili Lan without fear of death, with an expression of sworn death, and said, "You always say that you want Xiaobao to grow up faster, but your protection is so comprehensive, Xiaobao has no chance to face the hardships of the world at all!" Don't you think that's the opposite of what you said? ”
"You ......"
"Okay, it's not a big deal, don't argue," Chang An Wuhua was dressed in black, standing in front of the two, and said in a flat tone, "I have already sent the brothers of Baixiangmen to blend into the crowd, if there is really someone with bad intentions, my people will subdue it as soon as possible, and it will not hurt you." The princess should not give the little boy a disguise, the prince is right, let the little boy be immersive, and he will grow faster. I hope the princess will not be reluctant, every hero in the world has grown up like this. ”
His eyes fell on the "semi-finished product" in his hand, and Bai Lilan asked in a calm tone: "Xiaobao, do you want to take this risk?" ”
Looking at Baili Lan's uncertain appearance, Xiaobao said cautiously: "Eldest sister, if I tell the truth, will you be angry?" ”
"Of course not, just say what's in your heart."
Hearing this, Xiaobao lowered his head slightly and said in a low voice: "Xiaobao wants to face these unknown predicaments alone, because Xiaobao wants to become stronger, so he can protect the eldest sister well!" ”
Listening to Xiaobao's words, all of Baililan's anger disappeared. He stroked the top of Xiaobao's hair with one hand and found that the child had grown a lot taller. Only by watching the growth of children can they prove their old age. Who said that? That's right......
Bai Lilan put down her arm, patted Xiaobao's shoulder, and said, "Since this is your choice, then the eldest sister respects you." But I hope you don't be reckless in everything, and don't let the eldest sister worry, you know? ”
"Yes!" Xiaobao raised a happy smile and said, "Xiaobao will never let the eldest sister and brother-in-law worry about it!" ”
frowned invisibly, Bai Lilan didn't like Xiaobao's answer very much, and there was a superfluous person. But the superfluous person secretly cast an approving glance at Xiaobao at this moment.
"Alright, the boat is about to dock, everyone pack up and get ready to get off the boat." After Bai Lilan finished speaking, she left the cabin with the maidservants. Maybe Nangong Jingchen is right, it's time to let go, he can't protect Xiaobao for a lifetime, he also needs space to grow, and she can't replace this.
"Lan Lan'er, why did you leave?" Nangong Jingchen hurriedly followed behind Baili Lan and chattered, "I can guess what Xiaobao is thinking, isn't it very powerful?" You should have complimented me! ”
"Praise what you do. If it weren't for the Yanless Sect Master saying that he could ensure Xiaobao's safety, I wouldn't have let Xiaobao go out like that at all. Even if you want to thank you, then you want to thank the master of the Wuyan Sect, what does it have to do with you! ”
The smile that had been excited collapsed in disappointment after hearing this. Looking at Chang'an Wuhua behind him, Nangong Jingchen said helplessly: "It's really difficult to let her praise me!" ”
"Don't worry, everything is going in a good direction, isn't it?" Chang An Wuhua walked up to Nangong Jingchen, patted him on the shoulder and said, "You may not feel it, but the princess's attitude towards you has really changed a lot." ”
"Really?" Nangong Jingchen suddenly became interested, raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Nature is true, so don't be in a hurry. Now that you are back in Lanling, this is a good opportunity, and you have to take advantage of it. ”
Nangong Jingchen nodded heavily, looking at his familiar hometown, his heart was full of emotion.
When the old housekeeper of the palace heard that the princess and princess had returned, he had already cleaned up the Lanling Palace, and there were red lanterns on the edge of the door that symbolized festivity. Everything is ready, just wait for the two masters to return home.
But after waiting for a long time, he didn't see the masters, and the old housekeeper couldn't help but get anxious, and ordered people to go and find out what had happened.
When the family came back with the news, the old housekeeper saw that there was still no master behind him, and couldn't help but ask anxiously, "Have you heard, what happened?" Nothing happened to the masters. ”
The family wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then said: "No, the people, the people are so enthusiastic, the prince and princess are still trapped on the boat, and they can't get down!" ”
"This ......," the butler thought for a moment, and then said, "have you seen the prince, or have you received any news from the prince?" ”
"The little one hasn't even approached that ship, so how can he see the prince," said the family with a bitter face, "but there will be an army."
"If this continues, I'm afraid there will be danger!" With both hands clenched into fists, the butler's face was anxious, and he was thinking about how to help his master get out of trouble.
Just when the butler was at a loss, he heard a steady footsteps, and couldn't help but look up, and found that the person who came was a military master.
When the visitor saw the butler, he walked up to him and asked, "Are you the steward of the palace?" ”
"Oh, exactly. Excuse me......"
After hearing the butler's answer, the soldier solemnly said, "I am General Xiang's lieutenant. When the general heard that the prince had not yet returned to the palace, he asked me to investigate. Is there any trouble with the prince? ”
"Well, it's not a trouble," the old butler described to the military master again, as he passed the family back.
After listening to the housekeeper's words, the military master pondered for a while, and then said: "This matter can be handed over to our general, the housekeeper can rest assured, after half an hour, we will escort the prince back to the deputy." ”
"Oh, so good, so good."
The military master didn't want to delay any longer, so he bowed to the butler, turned around and left the palace.
Sitting in the boat, Baili Lan looked at the scenery outside the window boredly, suddenly smiled, and said: "I was arguing about how to educate Xiaobao just now, but now I can't even dock the boat, it's really ironic!" ”
Compared with Baili Lan's boredom, Nangong Jingchen looked much more leisurely, his eyes were slightly closed, and he said: "It's rare to have this leisure moment, Lan'er will enjoy it, when we get ashore, there will be a bunch of things waiting for us, and it will not be possible to stay quietly like this for a while." ”
Looking at Nangong Jingchen suspiciously, Baili Lan asked, "What do you mean by this?" Do you want to stay in Lanling for a long time? Have you forgotten something, don't you go back to the capital to be the emperor? ”
"Emperor, of course he wants to do it, but he is not in the capital."
Seeing Nangong Jingchen smiling mysteriously, Baili Lan frowned and asked, "Nangong Jingchen, what tricks are you playing?" ”
"Don't tell Lan'er yet, these are secrets!" Nangong Jingchen approached Baili Lan and said mysteriously.
Looking at his villainous appearance, Bai Lilan couldn't help glaring at Nangong Jingchen, then turned his head and ignored him.
