Chapter 140: Li Chen and Shui Tao's Conversation
Wedding night
Li Chen's face turned red, "Don't talk nonsense, this is an inn!"
"Oh. Shui Tao nodded, his voice was a little quieter, but he still asked expectantly, "Then when are you going to rob my sister?"
“......”
"I'm not going to interfere with this peace. He said.
"Why!" Shui Tao stood up suddenly, looked at Li Chen in disbelief, and then shouted, "You just let my sister marry that person? Do you know how much my sister likes you? Do you know how many times she cried for you and for that ghost and kiss?"
Li Chen took a deep breath, glanced at Shui Tao, and with a movement of his mind, he triggered the Xun Ling in his arms, causing it to send out a soundproof formation that enveloped the entire room.
Shui Tao looked at Li Chen in disappointment, "I really misjudged you, Li Chen! I deliberately wasted so much effort and found an invitation letter for you, but I didn't expect to give it to a negative man." ”
"You sent someone to send the invitation?" Li Chen frowned slightly.
"Who am I or not?" Shui Tao gritted his teeth and looked at Li Chen, and then laughed at himself, "My stupid sister, how could she really let you come to her and the emperor's wedding just because she wanted to see you?"
Li Chen was silent.
"My sister is stupid, and I'm stupid too. Shui Tao glanced at Li Chen indifferently, "The legendary mercenary who is famous and flying clouds?"
"I really don't want to be a legendary mercenary of Rausch now!"
"Goodbye!"
He was about to turn around and leave.
"Do you know what your sister wants?" Li Chen suddenly said in a loud voice.
Shui Tao turned his head to look at Li Chen's back, because of the direction he was sitting in before, Li Chen was talking behind his back at this time.
"I'm her brother, I don't know if you know?"
"My sister just wants to live a peaceful life and enjoy simple happiness. Shui Tao exhaled lightly and looked at Li Chen without saying a word.
He actually didn't say a word.
Shui Rou still hopes to fit one person in the life she wants, and that is Li Chen.
But he felt that Li Chen, who was now standing by and watching, was not qualified to let him speak out about this matter.
Li Chen was silent for a while when he heard this, and then said calmly, "I don't seem to have a say in this matter. ”
"But have you ever wondered what will happen to the Water Country and the Thunder Kingdom if I take Shui Rou away?"
"And there's an important question that you didn't think of. ”
"Shui Rou her...... Will you really give up this cordial and come with me?" Li Chen silently drank a cup of tea, the tea was fragrant, but he only felt bitter after drinking it.
Shui Tao was silent, but his hands were silently clenched into fists, and his body trembled faintly.
"Won't it be right?" Li Chen took another sip, the more bitter this tea was, the faster and more often he drank it!
"I remember what your sister told me. ”
......
"Since I was born as a princess of a country and enjoy a life that ordinary people can't imagine, I am destined to shoulder responsibilities that ordinary people can't imagine in the future. ”
"I've been ready for a long time, don't think too much about it, and get on with your life. ”
"I have no regrets about this marriage, everything is done willingly. And we also got what we wanted the most. ”
......
She said this with a calm and determined look in her eyes, and I could tell in her eyes her determination. ”
"Although I haven't been in contact with her for a long time, I can imagine that she really values her country, her friends, her loved ones, and you. ”
"But my sister, she also has what she wants!!" Shui Tao roared with red eyes.
"She's already made her choice, hasn't she?" Li Chen poured himself another cup of tea, then raised his head and drank it slowly.
"But at the end of the day, I also have a certain responsibility. Li Chen sat quietly on the stool.
"I'm incompetent!"
"I'm weak!"
"I can't protect Shui Rou and let her pursue what she wants, that's my biggest responsibility!"
Li Chen stared at the teacup in his hand, "If ......"
"Huh~" He quickly laughed to himself, not fantasizing.
Shui Tao stood at the door and looked at Li Chen, who had his back to him.
"Li Chen......" he asked, "Have you ever liked my sister?"
Li Chen was stunned, but did not speak.
Shui Tao didn't speak, just kept looking at him.
He had to get an answer.
It's been a long time.
"I don't know. Li Chen said softly.
"I don't know what it means?"
“...... I don't know. ”
Shui Tao gritted his teeth and looked at Li Chen, then opened the door and turned to leave.
Bang!
The door was slammed shut.
Li Chen remained motionless for a long time, and then began to pour himself tea, and then drank tea.
Tea is not bitter, but it is bitter when it disappoints people's hearts.
.....
Three days later, at the gate of the Imperial Palace of the Thunder Kingdom.
The moon hangs high and the stars surround it.
Li Chen looked at the majestic purple palace wall in front of him, handed the invitation in his hand to the silver-armored soldier at the palace gate, and then was let in.
The venue of the wedding was not far from the palace gate, and Li Chen was led by a palace maid, and he walked two more palaces to this place.
This is a field with a radius of nearly a kilometer, and the area is about the size of a playground.
In the center of the venue, dozens of tables were served, all dressed in festive red, arranged in two rows on either side.
At least forty or fifty red lanterns were erected around the periphery of the banquet, and they hung high on wooden poles, adding a touch of joy to the festive night.
At this time, the banquet was very noisy, with dense crowds of people wearing black and blue official uniforms coming and going, talking loudly, and many maids and eunuchs running around to provide drinks and meals.
Li Chen found a banquet at random, found a seat and sat down.
Maybe it was because he was dressed a little differently, so an official soon came over curiously.
"This little friend is a face, I don't know what to call it?"
"Li Chen. ”
"Li Chen?!" The surrounding officials were stunned at first when they heard this name, and then looked at Li Chen with wide eyes and curiosity.
"Legendary mercenary, ghost man Li Chen?" asked the original questioner tentatively.
"It's over. Li Chen nodded.
"The mercenary union will not be casual in this regard, don't say this award of yours, Xiaoyou, hahaha~" The official laughed.
Li Chen looked at him and found that this person felt good when he smiled.
"Do you know when the princess and the emperor of the water country will come out?"
"We'll have to wait a while, but it should be soon. ”
Li Chen nodded.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion at the banquet not far away.
"Prime Minister Qin is here! Prime Minister Qin is here!"
"I've got to go and say hello!
"Of course I have to go!"
"Let's go~"
......
"Eh, Li Chen, Prime Minister Qin is here, I have to hurry up and take a look, so I won't accompany you. ”
"Your Excellency, please. ”
"Yes!"
The officer is gone.
Li Chen silently looked at the place where the crowd gathered, and couldn't help but think in his heart, "This Prime Minister Qin's reputation seems to be not only good among the common people, but also very good among these officials." ”
"It's not easy. ”
Li Chen had been observing the crowd gathering in the distance, and it took a while to see the figure of Prime Minister Qin.
It was an old man in a black official uniform, with black hair with white in the middle, and his hair crown was held up high, and he looked like he had a hidden majesty in his smile.
The perception covered the return, and then Li Chen frowned slightly.
Because he found out that this Prime Minister Qin turned out to be an ordinary person with no cultivation.
How is this possible?
And at this moment, Prime Minister Qin Cheng also seemed to look over with a sense of it, and happened to see Li Chen, who was spying on him.
Qin Cheng smiled at him.
Li Chen turned his head silently.
I retract what I thought.
This guy ...... Definitely there is a problem!
