Chapter 69: The Princess's Choice
Bac Ninh capital
After late at night, Nangong Jingchen sat alone in the empty hall, reviewing many twists and turns, as if tireless. When he was thinking, he didn't like to have too many people around, so he left He Che alone.
A gust of wind blew, shaking the candles in the main hall, and at the same time bringing a familiar smell, making Nangong Jingchen suddenly stop his movements and be stunned.
Finding that Nangong Jingchen seemed to feel something, He Che hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Lord Wang, what's wrong, is it that the lights are not enough to make you feel uncomfortable?" ”
Putting the pen on the pen holder, Nangong Jingchen leaned back in his chair, thought for a moment, and asked, "Have you received a reply from the Yanless Sect Master?" ”
He Che didn't react for a moment, and looked at Nangong Jingchen in a daze, until he saw a touch of impatience in the other party's eyes, and then he suddenly came back to his senses and realized what Nangong Jingchen wanted to know. Hurriedly lowering his head, He Che replied respectfully, "I haven't received any news from the Shameless Sect Master yet. However, is the emperor a little anxious, the master of the Yanyan Sect has only been away for more than ten days, and after calculating the time, he should have arrived at the Tang Gate, and it should not be too late to send back the news. ”
He Che didn't know Chang'an Wuhua, but Nangong Jingchen knew about him, and now he must have seen Baili Lan. But he didn't contact him, and it seemed that Lan'er still had no intention of coming back. This kind of cognition made Nangong Jingchen a little annoyed, his eyes were slightly closed, and the shadow of Baili Lan was in front of him.
Seeing Nangong Jingchen's lonely appearance, He Che was also anxious, but his impatience had no effect, the key was how Princess Lanling chosen.
Just when He Che was anxious, Nangong Jingchen opened his eyes, and there was a touch of perseverance in his eyes, but after He Che, who knew Nangong Jingchen, saw it, he secretly screamed in his heart.
And He Che's prediction was not wrong, so he heard Nangong Jingchen stand up and say loudly: "Since there is no news, then let this king personally take back his princess!" ”
"Lord Wang!" He Che hurriedly stopped, "There is less than a month left before your enthronement ceremony, at this critical moment, you can't leave now!" ”
Nangong Jingchen was unmoved by He Che's words, held his chin high, looked at the sky outside the window, and said domineeringly: "The queen is not here, what does it mean that only this king is on the throne." I'm going to come back with my queen, and I'm going to be the emperor and queen together!" ”
"But...... Now there are a lot of people in Kyushu who covet our Beining, and the prince will be in danger if he leaves the capital during this extraordinary period! You are now the root of a country in Bac Ninh, and there must be no mistakes, otherwise the people of Bac Ninh, who have just escaped from the war, will not fall into disaster again? ”
Such a statement could not convince Nangong Jingchen, and he said confidently: "Before leaving, I will arrange everything, and you don't have to worry about this." With a wave of his hand, Nangong Jingchen ordered, "Okay, don't talk anymore, this king must finish reviewing these recitals as soon as possible." ”
Seeing Nangong Jingchen's determined appearance, He Che knew that such an idea was definitely not the first time that such an idea had appeared in Nangong Jingchen's mind, and he must have had this plan for a long time. In addition, I didn't receive any news from the owner of the Yanwu Gate today, so I couldn't bear it, so I had to rush to the Tang Gate in person to bring the princess back. He Che knew that he didn't have the eloquence to persuade King Lanling to give up this terrible idea, but as a heartfelt minion, he felt that no matter what decision his master made, he would follow him unconditionally.
……
Hearing the news of Tang Lingcan's disappearance, the old door master stood up suddenly, and asked with a shocked face: "What, Ling Can was detained!?" Who is so bold that even the people of the Tang Sect dare to touch it! ”
The disciple in charge of the message trembled, and then said honestly, "There is news coming back, saying...... said that the young master was detained in Su Zisheng's medical hall. ”
"Su Zisheng, he's just a doctor, where did he come from to be so bold and dare to detain me?"
The disciple bowed his head and whispered, "It is said that the master of the Faceless Sect is there. ”
Suddenly hearing this name, the old master was stunned, and then said angrily: "It's shameless again!" What kind of deep hatred does he have with the Tang Sect, that is, he refuses to let go of the Tang Sect! "Actually, the old master also thought about it and agreed to Chang'an Wuhua's proposal last time. It's just that once he agrees, he will become a sinner of the Tang Sect. And now it is just right to take advantage of Tang Lingcan's excuse to carve out a tribe. Doing so can not only gain the support of the faceless sect master, but also reduce the expenses of the Tang Sect. As for that tribe, in the end, what was drawn out was just an empty shelf, and it would not have any practical impact on the Tang Sect at all.
Thinking like this in his heart, the old master was at a loss, and finally said helplessly: "Send someone to deliver the news to him, just say that the old man has something to talk to him!" ”
After the arrangement, the old owner began to think in his heart about how to achieve a greater advantage in the negotiation.
When Baili Lan was half asleep and half awake, she heard Xia Yu walking around beside her, as if she was hesitating to wake herself up.
Turning over, Bai Lilan still closed her eyes, and said in a low and sexy voice: "Just say something, don't always go around, disturb me and make me sleep badly." ”
Hearing Baili Lan's voice, Xia Yu hurriedly bowed to him and confessed: "County Lord, it's not right to disturb your rest. But the Tang Sect is here to ask for someone, just outside the medical hall. Now that Dr. Su has gone down to negotiate, it is estimated that it will not take a while for us to come to our dignitaries. County Lord, what do you say we are going to do with Tang Lingcan, do you want the slave to hide him now? ”
"If you want to snatch someone from me, it depends on whether he has the ability to do it!" got up and approved a cloak, Bai Lilan then said casually: "Just let him come up, I want to see how he can be justified in front of me!" ”
After less than a quarter of an hour, everyone heard a knock on the door, and then they heard Doctor Su deliberately make a gentle and polite voice, and asked, "Madam, I heard that you are taking a nap, and it is not good to disturb you." But there is something very important to discuss with you now, and I hope you will forgive me for the inference. ”
Su Zisheng finished speaking kindly, and stood outside waiting with a smile on his face. But after a long time, until Su Zisheng's waist was sore, he still didn't hear any movement inside, which couldn't help but make Su Zisheng feel very embarrassed, and wanted to slap the door panel and scold, but because the head of the Tang Sect was here, he could only swallow all his anger into his stomach and clench his hands tightly.
Taking a deep breath, Su Zisheng put on an amiable smile again, complimented Baili Lan as much as possible, and said, "Madam, the people from the Tang Sect are already waiting for you, you better cooperate first, and then ......"
"You don't have to be so polite to talk to this woman!" The old door master pushed Su Zisheng away, slapped the door panel vigorously, and shouted in a rough voice, "Baili Lan, you come out for me, quickly hand over Ling Can, otherwise I will set fire and burn you inside!" ”
Looking at the old master's angry appearance, Su Zisheng's eyes widened, he didn't expect that this old master knew Baili Lan's nature so well, and it seemed that Bai Lilan had suffered a lot in his hands.
"Hey, are you polite or not, it's so reasonable to disturb others!" Xia Yu suddenly opened the door, and looked at the black people outside without any timidity, but pinched his waist with both hands, like a hot little pepper, "If you have anything, just tell me first, our master needs to rest, and I don't have time to take care of you!" ”
Xia Yu's completely contemptuous tone angered the old door master, and the monstrous anger made the old door master push Xia Yu away and rushed directly to the house. And Xia Yu's mistake also exposed the pictures in the room in front of everyone.
In the bright room, a stunning woman was lying on a soft couch, her eyes slightly closed, and the soft sunlight sprinkled on her body, glowing with a hazy luster, making this woman a luxurious and cold-eyed person, which made people dare not look directly.
With a hint of refreshing aroma, Baili Lan slowly opened her eyes, revealing a soul-settling gaze, and at the same time made the charm of the room fade instantly, the corners of her mouth hooked up a bloodthirsty smile, looked at everyone coldly, and said dangerously and indifferently: "If you see it, aren't you afraid of being killed by the King of Lanling?" ”
Everyone who looked stupid just now was shocked into a cold sweat at this moment, and at the same time began to feel remorse, feeling that they should not trespass at will, so that now they have a big disaster, and they are likely to be hunted down by the future emperor!
With a cold sneer, Baili Lan got up leisurely and walked slowly towards everyone with the support of the spring breeze, her red lips slightly opened, and she said in a proud voice: "Don't worry, King Lanling is not a tyrannical person, he won't really kill you, at most he will gouge out the eyes of all of you." ”
Although Bai Lilan just said it casually, but it was such a casual word, after it came out of her mouth, it would also make people feel frightened, trembling deeply, and couldn't help herself.
Seeing the frightened looks of his subordinates, the old master couldn't help but feel angry, turned around and roared angrily: "It's just a woman, what are you afraid of?" If King Lanling really dotes on her, will he still let her be here alone? Cheer me up, don't cower anymore! ”
"Yo, the old master is really good at educating people," Bai Lilan raised her arms, looked at the old master playfully, and said, "What you said is right, I really don't like Nangong Jingchen, then you can continue to be presumptuous, let's see if Nangong Jingchen will kill because of a woman he doesn't like!" ”
"Don't deliberately divert the conversation!" The old master was worried that if Bai Lilan was allowed to continue like this, his disciple's emotions would be controlled by her, blindly worried and afraid, timid, and afraid of Bai Lilan, then it would be meaningless to come today. Therefore, he must grasp the current situation, and he must not let Baili Lan do whatever he wants! With his eyes firmly fixed on Bai Lilan, the old door master said in a deep voice, "You say, where did you kidnap Ling Can?" ”
