Chapter 156: Luo'an
Three days later, Lone Star and Chu Rou'er were in the same carriage and went to Luo'an with Ling Yun and the others. [Ran^Text^Library] []
On the way, Chu Rou'er saw Lone Star's solemn expression, and after knowing what he was worried about, she couldn't help but hold his hand and comforted: "Brother Night, don't worry, as long as I am here, I will never let my father mess with you." ”
Lone Star could only smile helplessly at this, noncommittal.
From the mouths of Ling Yun and others, he could vaguely know that this Emperor Chu Feng was an extremely powerful monarch on weekdays, but all such people had their own set of principles and guidelines for doing things, that is to say, such a person, once he made a decision, it could never be changed, even if it was the most favored children, he could not interfere and could not change anything.
Therefore, when the time comes, Chu Rou'er will not only not be able to help herself, but may even anger her father because of her own self-preservation, although the tiger poison does not eat children, but it is difficult to guarantee that the king of Chu will not make any out-of-the-ordinary moves, no matter what, it is not a situation that Lone Star wants to see.
Thinking of this, Lone Star was even more reluctant to let Chu Rou'er follow and mix in this matter, so he pretended to be free and easy and said to Chu Rou'er: "Don't worry, eldest brother is fine, I still wish to see Rou'er's father as soon as possible, I think it must be very martial arts, otherwise how can there be such a beautiful girl as you." ”
Women always like to listen to good words, not to mention being praised by their sweethearts in person, they blushed in shame, and their hearts were as sweet as eating honey, but they hummed: "Father, he is naturally heroic and extraordinary..."
Seeing that she prevaricated the topic in a few words, Lone Star secretly laughed and sighed deeply at the same time, the longer she stayed with Chu Rou'er, the more undisguised her intentions became, Lone Star really didn't want to lie to her, but she didn't want to chill her heart, so she simply went with the flow and deceived herself.
Things have come to this point, the idea of trying to escape in Lone Star's heart has gradually faded, not to mention that there are several unfathomable existences in the accompanying forbidden army, that Ling Yun alone is by no means an idle person, and if he wants to slip away from under the noses of these people, it is no less difficult than ascending to the sky, take 10,000 steps back, even if he is lucky enough to escape today, but under this world, it is not the king's land, if the king of Chu wants to catch himself with iron heart, he can escape for a while, how can he escape for a lifetime.
Thinking about it, Lone Star had to give up, not to mention that the Zixi Flower needed to unlock the seal also grew near the palace, for this reason, even if it was really Longtan Tiger's Den, Lone Star had to break through.
Outside the carriage, although Ling Yun and the others who accompanied him expected that he would not be ignorant of current affairs, it was difficult to guarantee that he would do something secret, so they didn't dare to be careless at all, and stared around the carriage with wide eyes and vigilance, glancing inside from time to time, for fear that they would miss something.
And after Lone Star figured these things out, in line with the subtle psychology of whether it was a blessing or a curse, and a disaster that could not be avoided, he also unloaded the burden in his heart, and immediately stopped caring about anything else, sitting in the carriage with his eyes closed and recuperating, next to him, Chu Rouer was sleeping sweetly.
However, the people outside suddenly heard that there was no movement inside, and they were immediately more cautious, but they didn't dare to open the curtain rashly, for fear of angering Chu Rou'er.
Time passed quietly in the strict vigilance of everyone, and in the blink of an eye, it was sunset again.
At that moment, the carriage suddenly jolted, and then a long, piercing hissing was heard, and the carriage came to a complete stop.
Chu Rouer reluctantly opened her eyes from the dream, and refused to get up as if she was hanging on Lone Star, Lone Star had no choice but to pick her up and open the curtain, only to find that there was a magnificent city tower in front of her, and at this moment there were soldiers going back and forth to interrogate the people who entered and left the city downstairs, and the people here were full of people but orderly, Lone Star looked up while secretly curious, and found that there were so many big characters written upstairs, Luo'an City.
"Here... Is that Loan?"
Lone Star curiously looked at the passers-by around him, and found that the prosperity here was more than a star and a half stronger than Dingyuan, worthy of being the capital of Chu State, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, just outside this city, it made people feel unspeakably expensive.
The soldiers defending the city acted quite efficiently, and soon searched the carriage where Lone Star was, and saw that someone was about to step forward and open the curtain, but Ling Yun stopped him first, and took out a token from his waist and shook it in front of the man's eyes, and the man immediately stepped aside in fear and ordered him to let him go.
"Your Highness, we have come to Luo'an City, there is still some distance from the imperial capital, but it is getting late, do you see if..."
"Forget it, it's so late, presumably the father and queen mother have already rested, and it is better not to alarm them, pass on my orders, everyone will stay at the inn for one night, and set off for the palace early tomorrow morning. ”
Waving her hand to interrupt what Ling Yun wanted to say, Chu Rou'er sat beside Lone Star and said indifferently.
Ling Yun said "yes" when she heard this, and then passed on what she said to everyone, and after everyone got the order, they went straight to the largest inn in Luo'an City, the Longen Inn.
Long En is taken from the meaning of the Lord Longen, which is quite famous in the Luo'an area, and on weekdays, whether it is in the white room or at night, the business is still hot, and it can be said that it is full of seats, and the guests are full.
However, very few people know that this inn is actually affiliated with the royal family, and the boss behind it is the last commander of the forbidden army of the Chu State, Dou Tianlai.
The surname Dou is rare in the Chu State, just because there is no such surname in the six countries and hundreds of surnames, and according to legend, there is only one person in Dou Tianlai, but because the first king remembered his bravery, he went to the battlefield several times and made many military exploits, and he had the style of the god of war, so he was named the king of war, and was given the surname, Dou.
However, as the years passed, the first king had long since passed away, and the former god of war was already dying, and the new king felt his loyalty, and took pity on him for his lonely life, and had no family by his side, so he gave him an inn in the imperial city to spend his old age in peace.
Because this war king was born in the forbidden army and was the mentor of Ling Yun and others, Ling Yun and other people in the forbidden army would come here whenever they went out to perform tasks, both in public and private.
Of course, there is another point for safety reasons, everyone knows it, but on the day when the old war king is there, no one dares to come here to cause trouble.
