Chapter 116: Meet Again
Xiao Chen was awakened by a knock on the door.
When people fall asleep in the meditation space, they naturally fall asleep in reality. Xiao Chen had a vague impression of what happened before he fell asleep, but after he fell asleep, his body should have naturally detached from the meditation space, right? Otherwise, he should still be on the beach when he woke up.
Tasia ...... , Xiao Chen's heart was upset when he thought of her, and finally he shook his head, sighed secretly, got up and went to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, Roger stood in the doorway: "My lord, they have arrived." β
Xiao Chen ran to the window and looked out, only to see that two carriages had stopped at the main entrance downstairs, and several other trucks had arrived at the door of the warehouse.
The carriage door was pushed open, and a pretty figure in a magician's robe stepped down and stepped on the snow in the courtyard. She seemed to feel Xiao Chen's gaze, tilted her head slightly, and her gaze was with him.
She seemed to see Xiao Chen eagerly leaning out of the window, and couldn't help laughing. Xiao Chen only felt that smile hit his heart in an instant, sweeping away all the gloom that had accumulated in the past few days.
It was as if he had seen a plum in full bloom that could decorate his whole winter.

In the afternoon, the two sat opposite each other in the study, each holding a cup of hot tea.
Neither of them spoke, quietly feeling the tacit atmosphere that permeated the room.
Xiao Chen liked this atmosphere very much, he didn't need to speak, but everything was silent.
However, it didn't take long for Luo Ling to suddenly break the silence: "I heard that you have a hidden treasure in the golden house?"
Xiao Chen almost squirted out a sip of tea, he was choked and coughed, "I thought you would want to talk to me about your lonely life, talk about emotional sustenance, even if it's about the recent situation in Wang Du." How can you just say this, who do you listen to chew your tongue?"
"I'm going to talk to the people who are hiding in the golden house? You're not stupid, are you?"
"Do you know about Tasia?"
"Well, explain. β
"No, no, not this rhythm. Xiao Chen pulled his clothes, as if he wanted to correct his image, "I have nothing to do with Tasia. β
Luo Ling tilted her head, looking completely unconvinced.
"Of course, she's tragically confined to my meditation space right now. However, this is not my will, and I do not have any relationship with her that goes beyond friendship. She was like this when she had a body, and it was like this when she didn't have a body. Xiao Chen said with a righteous face.
Luo Ling looked at him with a smile: "Please think about it like this, I and a certain man, such as Teacher Qin Mu, went to play in the forest in the middle of the night, and when we encountered danger, he died to save me." In the end, I saved him with my meditation space and let him live in my heart. At this moment, he is living in my meditation space, watching our conversation, what kind of emotions will you have? β
"I ......"
"Be honest. β
"I'll ...... Very unpleasant, very unpleasant. Xiao Chen had to admit.
"What if I had a handsome scholar named Luo Zhong by my side, and a mercenary boy who circled around me every day?"
Xiao Chen was so suffocated by Luo Ling that he couldn't speak. He completely lost his usual cleverness, and said for a long time: "But I will definitely understand you very generously in the end, and then I will not trouble you." β
"Do you mean I don't understand you well enough now?" Luo Ling asked rhetorically.
Xiao Chen scratched his head and said, "Where, where, you have a deep understanding of my thoughts. β
At this time, Luo Ling laughed, and she said, "I'm already very tolerant and generous." All the problems just now are just about you. If you think about it, do I have a teacher to ask about sin? Is there anything wrong with my tone? I just asked a few simple questions about the current situation of some people who are related to you. Why are you so frightened and restless?"
"You...... Alas. Xiao Chen realized that he had fallen for Luo Ling again, "You are really!"
Luo Ling covered her mouth and laughed: "But I want to remind you of one thing, learn to refuse, lest you be rejected by more important people." Now there are more people in the office, and there are more people begging you inside and out, so you can think about it. β
Of course, Xiao Chen heard the pun in the other party's words, and he asked himself, he had indeed done some things.
He still had to think about it more, but Luo Ling had already changed the topic, and he just pulled his thoughts away from what happened just now.
"On the way we came, we encountered an incident, someone came to look for our stubble, and I solved it. The man looked like Princess Laura's person, if not the one who supported her. β
"Princess Laura?" Xiao Chen was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted, "Could it be that I got too close to Prince Javier?
"Quite possibly, otherwise I can't figure out why someone would use such a clumsy method to test my strength. Luo Ling told Xiao Chen about the general situation.
"To be honest, I don't think it's like the princess's handiwork, but more like the actions of some of her supporters in the army, who often have no talent for intrigue and do things simply and crudely. There have already been several clashes between the military and the Royal Magic Tower. β
"Is it another clichΓ© story of the struggle for inheritance?"
"According to the information we have, the old king's body has not yet reached the point where it can no longer be supported. But the supporters of both the princess and the prince are making some preparations. Recently, the news that our Montenegrin mage will be enclosed has been spread, and I am half of Prince Javier's teacher, so naturally, some people are worried that we will greatly increase the bargaining chips on the prince's side and have to control our catties. Xiao Chen analyzed.
"It seems that several dukes and marquis who support the princess in the military have begun to infiltrate the city guards and the Praetorian Guard, originally these two troops were directly under the royal family, but this Delt, who provoked me, has just been transferred from the border troops, I am afraid that it is a small move for them to meddle in the military affairs of the royal capital. β
"It is very likely that on the one hand, it is one thing to get to the bottom of us, and the action to win us over has also begun. Xiao Chen took out a stack of invitations from the table drawer and said with a smile, "From the first time I came to the king's capital, no one cared about it, and now it has become a fragrant dumpling, and it has been less than two months." β
Luo Ling took the invitation and went through it roughly, and the political spectrum was all from the prince faction, the princess faction and the middle faction, "It seems that we are also a force with a little weight in the royal capital." But in most people's eyes, we're labeled princes, right?"
"Betting between a princess and a prince is a fun betting game. It's just a pity that I don't play games. Xiao Chen said without hesitation, "I help Javier learn magic, it doesn't mean that I support him to become king, and it doesn't mean that we Montenegro will be involved in these bad things, they will all understand this in the future." β
"What do you want to do?"
Xiao Chen knocked on the invitation on the table, "Who said that our Montenegro is monolithic?"
"You mean Liu Pengfei?" Luo Ling smiled knowingly.
"He just needs to act in his true colors. Xiao Chen picked out a few invitations and said, "Of course, we also have to play a good role, these invitations still require me to show my face, I was worried about my female companion, but now I am finally saved." β
"It's conditional to ask me to dance. Luo Ling leaned back in the chair and looked at him with her arms folded.
"What?"
"I'm curious about your canary, let me see it. β
