Chapter 174: Mutual Suspicion
It only took a moment, led by the coach Xuanyuan Bugu, and the group came to the outside of the princess's tent.
Unlike when Wang Puxiong came over, outside the huge tent, there was silence, and there was no guard guarding it.
"Marshal!" a soldier walked up to Xuanyuan Bugu and said in a deep voice, "Something is wrong......
"It's okay!"
Xuanyuan Bugu shook his hand and said directly: "Humble Xuanyuan Bugu, join hands with all the soldiers to welcome the Ninth Princess and Ling Escort to the Chinese military camp!"
The voice is not loud, and the tone of voice cannot be faulted. However, this sentence was mixed with a hint of strong vitality, and it pierced directly into the camp like an arrow, setting off a large ripple on the curtain.
No movement!
The entire princess's tent was like a huge tomb, and after Xuanyuan Bugu's voice pierced in, there was not even half a movement.
"Huh?"
Xuanyuan Bugu frowned slightly, and he wanted to break inside.
"Xuanyuan is not ancient, you are too presumptuous!"
A cold voice came out of the curtain door, and in the next moment, I saw the ninth princess Zhan Mingyue slowly walking out, beside her, followed by two maids, it was Dongmei and Qiu Ju in Meilan Zhuju.
"Haha, it turns out that His Highness hasn't slept yet? That relationship is good, Ben Hou is thinking about ......"
"You're also here to invite me to the celebration banquet?" Zhan Mingyue's expression was cold, scanning the crowd, and a wisp of murderous intent permeated her eyes.
"Yes, Wang Puxiong may not have made it clear when he came over just now, in fact, I also knew that it was too late, and I was a little presumptuous, but it was really Ling Guard's heroism, and the soldiers couldn't help but admire his demeanor in person, although I was the boss, it was not easy to dismiss the public......
Xuanyuan Bugu's face was always smiling, and suddenly he seemed to think of something, and said with doubts in his eyes: "Huh? What about Escort Ling? Wasn't he invited into the account by Your Highness? Why didn't you see anyone?"
"Guard Ling is overworked, I have already let the imperial doctor serve him and sleep peacefully!" Zhan Mingyue replied coldly.
"Sleeping?"
The surprise in Xuanyuan Bugu's eyes flickered, and he could hardly believe his ears. Or if the ninth princess finds any excuse, he won't have the slightest worry.
But at this moment, the ninth princess was frank and directly said that the little beast was overworked and fell asleep...... Could it be that all the previous speculations were all wrong?
The reason why the four daughters of Meilan Zhuju are so nervous is because they listened to the strict orders of the ninth princess and did not allow anyone to disturb the little beast's sleep?
I have to say that the seemingly casual words of the ninth princess caused unimaginable consequences.
But now that he has come, how can Xuanyuan be willing to return empty-handed?
After a little groaning, he said: "Ling Huwei is the hero of all of us, and the credit he has made this time is immeasurable, Pu Xiong ......"
"The last general!" Wang Puxiong didn't know what the boss suddenly called him, but he still jumped out and knelt down respectfully to listen to the order.
"Before Ben Hou set off, he handed you two bottles of Huiqi Pill, which was intended to reward meritorious officials, you immediately took out one bottle and sent it to Escort Ling!"
"Good!"
But after hearing Xuanyuan Bugu's words, he almost didn't hesitate at all, took out a green bottle from his clothes, turned around and walked towards the door of the tent.
"Stop!"
Qiu Ju didn't wait for him to get closer, and directly shouted coldly: "Guard Ling is resting, you just give me the pill!"
"How can that be?"
Wang Puxiong was "shocked" when he heard this, and deliberately looked at Zhan Mingyue, "Your Highness, even if it is the order of the Hou Ye, of course I must personally hand it over to Ling Zhi, besides, I also admire this hero who rescued us all, and I want to thank him in person......"
"Smack!"
A resounding slap was heavily enveloped on Wang Puxiong's face, causing half of his face to swell high, and a red blood water dripping from the corner of his mouth.
Zhan Mingyue stood next to him, looking at his eyes coldly, and a cold word burst out of his mouth, "Get out!"
"You ......"
"I told you to get out, didn't you hear?" Zhan Mingyue continued, faintly a little pressing.
This unexpected scene, Mo Xuanyuan Bugu and others were all deeply shocked, and even Wang Puxiong became sluggish.
It was not the Ninth Princess who was frightened.
She was born in a royal family and has a noble status, if it is a different occasion, such as in Yujing City, don't say that she beats someone, it will not cause any surprise if she kills someone.
The reason why everyone was shocked was that Wang Puxiong, who was a dignified martial arts master, would be slapped so easily.
And the other party not only hit, but also directly broke through the protective body qi of his martial realm, and fanned people's faces up and swollen.
I don't understand!
I don't understand it at all!
Is Wang Puxiong underestimating the enemy and caught off guard?
It shouldn't be, the cultivation has reached the level of the Earth Martial Realm, and the flexibility and sensitivity of the body have already surpassed ordinary people by several times and dozens of times, even if they are defenseless, how can they be slapped in the face so easily?
Since it is not Wang Puxiong's personal reason, then ......
Suddenly, the crowd all squinted their eyes and looked at Zhan Mingyue like a monster.
It was only at this time that everyone discovered that this ninth princess of the dynasty, who had not been put in anyone's eyes since she set out on the expedition, was also a martial artist, not only a martial artist, but also her cultivation was not low, and she was also a martial arts realm cultivator.
But that's about it.
Zhan Mingyue's body seemed to be shrouded in a layer of fog, no matter how much everyone urged their eyes to observe with various qi techniques, at most they could only judge Zhan Mingyue's general cultivation, but if they wanted to observe her strength in the Earth Martial Realm, they couldn't see the slightest trace.
"Are you still standing here, do you really think that this palace will not dare to kill people?" Seeing that Wang Puxiong was still standing still, Zhan Mingyue said coldly again, and in the pupils of clear water, a chill was released, and a trace of killing intent permeated out.
Wang Puxiong was unwilling, and he had to go back at this moment. Mo said that Zhan Mingyue unexpectedly showed her hand, even if she was a delicate ordinary woman, just as a princess, Wang Puxiong didn't dare to really resist.
"Your Highness, you're over!"
In the suffocating silence, Xuanyuan Bugu took a step forward. A powerful and unrivaled momentum was released, and it crushed straight towards Zhan Mingyue.
He also didn't see the specific cultivation of Zhan Mingyue, but that wasn't a problem at all. No matter what realm Zhan Mingyue is, as one of the Nine Heavenly Pride, he has absolute self-confidence.
"I said, Guard Ling is already asleep!"
Zhan Mingyue's expression remained unchanged, but her eyes became more and more cold.
"As the supreme commander of the entire Northern Expeditionary Army, I have come over several times to invite him, asking myself that it is enough to save face, am I not qualified to wake him up?"
"Are you sure?"
Facing the menacing Zhan Tianhou, Zhan Mingyue suddenly smiled, and even took the initiative to take a step back to the side, looked at Xuanyuan Bugu and asked seriously: "Are you sure, you want to go in now to wake up the Ling guards?"
The two eyes collided fiercely in the air.
Xuanyuan Bugu looked at Zhan Mingyue, and suddenly felt the urge to vomit blood.
In just a few hours, this was the third time he had faced this painful choice.
Just now, because Zhan Mingyue showed his hand, he only cared about suppressing the opponent's momentum, but completely ignored the factor of Ling Zhi.
At this moment, when asked by the other party, I didn't dare to answer.
Are you sure?
Are you sure you're sister?
Or, he is 99% sure that Zhan Mingyue is simply playing an empty city plan.
But isn't there a 1 percent chance that the little beast is really just asleep?
It seems like the odds are slim, but would he dare to bet on it?
Even if he won the bet, he just took a breath and completed the task given by the Eighth Prince. But if you lose, it's a life-threatening thing!
After a "painful and difficult" choice, Xuanyuan Bugu still didn't dare to gamble on the one percent chance after all, and after shaking his head, he said to Zhan Mingyue: "Since His Royal Highness said that Escort Ling is asleep, Xuanyuan is naturally not suitable to wake him up now, but the celebration banquet has been prepared, and I also ask His Royal Highness to go to Yixu on behalf of the imperial court!"
"No time!" Zhan Mingyue didn't even give any face, so she just shook her head and refused.
"Good!"
Xuanyuan Bugu burst out with a loud shout, turned around and walked towards the way he came, but the arrogant words came from afar, "Although His Highness and Ling Huwei both said that they were not available, the celebration banquet has been prepared, and they must participate in it no matter what, Pu Xiong, come over every other stick of incense time to ask for instructions, until His Highness agrees!"
"The last general obeys!"
The sound was still there, and the group had disappeared into the night.
Zhan Mingyue looked at the disappearing backs of a group of people, and her eyes flashed with murderous intent, but when she turned around, there was a trace of worry in her heart.
If she deliberately made Xuanyuan Bugu's act of letting Xuanyuan Bugu enter the account and took the opponent's army, then how could the sentence left by Zhan Tianhou when he left not be an army against her?
Whether Ling Zhi is asleep or injured only needs to send his men to harass him several times in a row.
When the time comes, what should she take to the top?
