Chapter 60: Old Feuds
Gu Liman shook his head and said, "Of course not. There are also our people in Tashkent. Otherwise, why were we able to grasp Princess Nia's whereabouts so quickly? Unfortunately, at the critical moment, a sandstorm suddenly came, and we fell short. ”
Aleman asked puzzledly: "General, why didn't Princess Nia go to the Xiluo Kingdom this time, but to the Eastern Chu Kingdom?"
In terms of distance, the Canaanite Commonwealth is closer to the Kingdom of Cilo, although there is a vast ocean in the middle, but the sea is dotted with islands, and ships can sail short distances between the islands, and the route is not very dangerous.
The Canaan Federation to the Eastern Chu Kingdom is not only much farther away, but also almost all the way to the vast Gobi and desert, in addition to the daunting Great Wilderness and Death Land that ordinary people cannot enter at all.
There was another reason, which Aleman did not say.
The Canaanite Federation has always had a legend that is difficult to speak. That is, fifteen years ago, Princess Nia, who was in love for the first time, met Kandi Augustus, the eldest son of the Augustus family, the martial emperor of the Kingdom of Siro. The two were in love with each other, and they fell in love, and once reached the point of talking about marriage.
It's a pity that later, when the old king suddenly fell seriously ill, Princess Nia made a vow to the gods not to marry for the rest of her life in order to save her father, and Candi Augustus could only return to Ciro sadly.
If this legend is true, Princess Nia should go to Candi Augustus if she wants to escape from marriage. If the two had really had an unforgettable relationship before, Candi Augustus would certainly not sit idly by.
With the influence of the Augustan family, it is impossible for either the eldest prince or the second prince of the Canaanite Federation to force Princess Nia to marry.
Gu Liman looked at Aleman with ambiguous eyes, and he wanted to stop talking, and he had already guessed what Aleman was thinking. However, he did not speak, but waved his hand and said impatiently, "What's your business? ”
Aleman was bored, quickly stroked his chest, saluted, and exited the room.
Gu Liman looked at Aleman's back, and thought to himself, you kid has only been in the royal guard for a few years? How much do you know about the secrets of the royal family?
Back then, Princess Nia and Candi Augustus were in love. But there is no such thing as talking about marriage. Candi Augustus didn't have any intention of marrying a princess!
Because in the eyes of the Xiluo people, the Canaan Federation is just an inferior person, even if it is a princess of the royal family, she is not worthy of marrying into the martial royal family. What's more, with the burden of reviving the family's hopes, how could Candy Augustus decide to marry so easily?
What's even more unspeakable is that the two young people actually stole the forbidden fruit, and Princess Nia also had a secret knot! Knowing this, the old king fainted directly. Then, Princess Nia made a vow to the gods.
Later, Princess Nia quietly gave birth to a daughter. But it wasn't long before the woman was nowhere to be found. It is rumored that this woman was brought back to the Eastern Chu Kingdom by a hermit of the Eastern Chu Kingdom.
This time, Princess Nia was forced to marry by two brothers, and she went to great lengths to go to the Eastern Chu Kingdom, probably to reunite with her daughter!
Gulman served in the royal guard for 20 years and experienced many events in those years. This time, the eldest prince sent him to chase Princess Nia because he knew the inside story and was loyal to the royal family.
Originally, Gulman thought that this would be a very easy task. Princess Nia has always lived in the palace and should not know much about the outside world, especially the trade routes in the Gobi Desert. All he had to do was catch up with the visiting group and he would be able to capture Princess Nia and bring her back.
But he never expected that they encountered a sandstorm at a critical moment. What he didn't expect was that the princess and her maid disappeared in the sandstorm.
After the sandstorm was over, he searched the neighborhood carefully, and only three people were missing from the visiting group. Among them were the princess and her maids-in-waiting, and the other was the head of the delegation, Professor Cabal.
He had no choice but to gather the rest of the delegation and send them to the Oriental Hotel in Dushant to take care of them. Then, with the other guards, he focused on the area where the sandstorm was encountered, and expanded the search area outward, continuing to search for Princess Nia.
After searching for more than 20 days, nothing was found. In desperation, he could only enter the black market through the Heavenly Street Market and buy information from the intelligence dealers in the black market.
The intelligence dealer charged a high fee and first confirmed to him that Princess Nia had not entered the Eastern Chu Kingdom. Secondly, the possibility of the princess going to Tashkent was ruled out.
In the end, the informant gives the location of the three hidden oases and a piece of advice, "ruling out all possibilities, and the last remaining option, however incredible, is right."
Gulman travels through the Black Market's teleportation array to reach the vicinity of a hidden oasis. Then in four days, I searched all three oases non-stop, but found nothing.
Then he remembered that advice, thought about it all night, and finally understood what it meant.
If Princess Nia hadn't gone to the Eastern Chu Kingdom, and hadn't been in Tashkent and the three hidden oases, then the only place she could hide would be Dushant!
It's an incredible answer. But as the counsel says, no matter how incredible it is, this is the only result.
Guliman immediately made a decision and immediately led his army back to Dushant as quickly as possible. After returning, he informed the city lord of Dushant that he would intensify the investigation of the people who went out of the city, and he would not let Princess Nia escape. Moreover, he has sent out forty guards, all of them, even to turn Dushant upside down, and he will also find Princess Nia.
Gu Liman retracted his thoughts and suddenly shouted, "Someone." ”
A soldier on duty at the door came in, stroked his chest and saluted.
"Go ask Jessica to come over. ”
The soldiers were ordered to leave, and soon brought back a woman wearing a white robe and a white veil masked. Just looking at the woman's exposed eyebrows and eyes, it is very beautiful and moving, and people can't help but think, what kind of beautiful face will be under the veil?
The woman came to the room and bowed affectionately.
With a wave of his hand, he told his soldiers to withdraw and closed the door.
There were only two people left in the room. Gu Li looked at the woman, and the desire in his heart couldn't help but slowly erect. Although the woman's figure is shrouded in a robe, when she walks, she can still be seen through her movements, the woman's figure is excellent, convex and backward, her legs are slender and straight, and she is full of mature and fatal temptation.
Gu Liman really wanted to hold her in his arms, strip her naked, and enjoy it as much as he wanted. But he didn't dare. Because this Jessica is the Great Prince's confinement, and she is also the Overseer sent by the Great Prince to supervise him.
Jessica straightened up, her towering breasts straightened up intentionally or unintentionally, and she looked at Gu Liman with silky eyes and said, "General." Are you looking for me?"
Gulman couldn't help but smile, glanced at Jessica's chest, and quickly left. He then handed the invitation to Jessica.
Jessica took the invitation and read it, and said in confusion, "General, why are you showing me this?"
Gu Liman said: "I am going to a banquet in the evening. I think that for such an engagement banquet, I should bring a female companion to it. Otherwise, if it's only me, how can I congratulate the woman?"
Jessica blinked and said, "What does the general mean is to let me be your female companion?"
Gu Liman nodded and said with a smile: "Would you like to?"
Jessica closed the invitation, held it in her hands, and said, "Of course I'd love to." It's just that I have a low status, and I'm afraid that people will know about the joke General you. ”
Jessica's external identity is a palace maid. However, this was just an expedient measure for the eldest prince to keep her by his side. Everyone knows that the eldest prince has already taken him into the house, and he will definitely leave a place for her in the harem in the future.
Gu Liman smiled and said: "If you don't say that others will know? It's not too early, you go back and dress up." Be sure that all the men who see you can't take their eyes off you. ”
Jessica smiled and nodded, "It must be as you wish." ”
At six o'clock in the afternoon, Gu Liman, dressed in luxurious casual clothes, and Jessica, who was dressed up, appeared outside the door of Taoran Hall in the second area of the Oriental Hotel.
At the door, Wang Xiaotian, who looked extremely handsome in a gorgeous costume, stood at the door of Taoran Hall to greet guests. Seeing Gu Liman, Wang Xiaotian immediately walked down the steps quickly, stretched out his hands with a smile on his face, and said, "Oh, Your Excellency the General is here, and you really feel glorious on your lower face." ”
Gu Liman held Wang Xiaotian's hand and said with a smile: "I was really surprised to see Your Excellency's invitation. Unexpectedly, you were arguing like rivals yesterday, and today you are engaged. It's unimaginable. ”
Wang Xiaotian said with a smile: "Speaking of which, thanks to the horse whip presented by His Excellency the General. After I came back, I did what the general said, and gave her a hard beating, and sure enough, I beat her well. She told me the truth, too. She's just interesting to me, and she used to have trouble with me, but she actually wanted to get my attention. ”
Gu Liman smiled and said, "Needless to say, Your Excellency also has a soft spot for her?"
Wang Xiaotian looked ashamed and said embarrassedly: "Your Excellency the General is right. I also have some thoughts about her. It's just that I haven't pierced this layer of window paper before, so I quarrel and awkward. Now that I think about it, we are actually a happy couple. ”
"When we talked about it, we were naturally happy and in love. So I wanted to pre-settle this. As for me, my parents died when I was a child, and her family was not here. Saying that you are engaged is actually no different from getting married. Therefore, I would like to invite a few local merchants from the Eastern Chu Kingdom to come over and have a lively time. ”
"Then I thought, only they are a bit sloppy. At this time, I suddenly remembered His Excellency the General. If you can come and come to our wedding, it will really save me a lot of face, and the ceremony will become very grand. That's why I took the liberty of sending you an invitation. Just now, I was worried that you were busy with business and wouldn't be here. ”
Gu Liman smiled and said: "How could I not come to such a good thing of adult beauty? Your Excellency, rest assured, I will definitely marry you." ”
Wang Xiaotian held Gu Liman's hand and couldn't help but say happily: "That's really good." With you marrying, this engagement ceremony is completely complete. ”
Gu Liman smiled and said, "In order to congratulate Your Excellency on your engagement, the contemptible person has prepared a small gift, and please accept it with a smile." ”
As he spoke, he glanced at Jessica and motioned for her to hand the gift to Wang Xiaotian. However, he saw Jessica looking at Wang Xiaotian, her eyes a little distracted.
From the very beginning, Wang Xiaotian focused on Gu Liman and kept ignoring Jessica next to Gu Liman. At this moment, seeing Gulman looking at Jessica, he also looked away. Then, he saw his brown eyes, and his heart suddenly "clicked" for no reason.
The eyes left him with such a deep impression. A few years ago, he woke up from his sleep many times because he had seen these eyes in his dreams.
And Jessica also recognized that Wang Xiaotian was the teenager who fled with Cao Lianyou on her back, so that she did not complete the task and had to accept the punishment of the organization!
What shocked Jessica even more was that in just a few years, she hadn't seen this young man actually promoted to the sixth level of the Force Master! Such a fast cultivation speed was simply incredible.
That's right, Jessica is the female killer wearing an invisibility cloak that Wang Xiaotian encountered when he first met Cao Lianyou.
She was bribed by James to disobey the orders of William, the head of the hermit organization, and took the risk of assassinating Cao Lianyou. As a result, because of Wang Xiaotian, the assassination was not successful.
William caught her, interrogated the mastermind behind the scenes, and for the sake of his colleagues, gave her a poison and told her to keep a whole corpse.
