The setting sun brings thousands of miles of colorful glow to the sky, and the walled city built on the mountain is embellished with golden red by the glow.

The members of the family of the Winter Hades gathered around the watchtower or the city wall, curiously looking at the several carriages that arrived at the door, among which there were many girls who had not grown up, and they were still whispering:

"Mother said that the son of King Tianlang is here, is it true?"

"The son of King Tianlang should be called Gongzi or Shizi, listen to Uncle Jiang said, our Tianlang King Shizi is very good-looking, like a fairy......"

"Alas, don't all men look the same, Uncle Jiang just touted it out of previous years, I want to see it...... Whoop! His Royal Highness! Son~! ……”

……

The girls of the Xihai tribes are the same as Liangzhou, most of them are bold and outgoing, not as shy as the girls in the Central Plains, and when they see a good son passing by outside the village, they really dare to coax and ridicule, and they can make the men red-faced.

As soon as the Night Terror Hall was helped out of the carriage by Fan Qinghe, the image of a cold son in a black robe fell into everyone's eyes, and the sound of apes on both sides of the strait suddenly sounded above the walled city.

Fortunately, the clan elders standing outside the walled city still knew how to measure, and several mothers-in-law turned around and scolded twice, and the walled city quieted down, leaving only whispers.

The more than ten clan elders standing outside the city are all the elders of the major surnames of the Winter Hades, and they can be regarded as the civil and military courtiers of the Winter Hades King, and Granny Gui is about the same as the old queen mother who listens to the government.

At this time, Granny Gui, who had gray hair, stood at the forefront with a cane, as a descendant of the married son of the Chi Division, when she saw the Night Terror Hall coming to the Winter Hades, she inevitably had some mixed feelings in her heart.

Last time in Langxuan City, Granny Gui had seen the Night Terror Hall, but in fact, at first glance, she could confirm that the Night Terror Hall was her own clansman.

However, Night Terror Hall has lived in the Southern Dynasty since childhood, and has never been in contact with the Western Sea tribes, so it is impossible to have a sense of identity; In the Southern Dynasty, he was already in a high position, and he would not scarce the Xihai Tribes, even if he was close to the Winter Underworld, he might be thinking of helping the Southern Dynasty annex Western Xinjiang, and he did not really regard the tribes as his own people.

So Granny Gui didn't have much contact at that time, but just let Qinghe follow her and establish a relationship with each other first.

More than half a year has passed, and the facts have proved everything, whether it is the Night Terror Hall itself being responsible, or the wind blowing on the Qinghe pillow in place, the Night Terror Hall has always been on the road to revenge for the Chi Division.

Now that the Night Terror Hall has destroyed King Zuoxian, it is a bad breath for the Xihai tribes, and for the Qi Chi Department who was exterminated by the Northern Liang Dynasty back then, it is to avenge the blood feud and national hatred, and maybe even the Night Terror Hall himself, who has not experienced the battle of destroying the country, is not as excited as Granny Gui.

On the day the news came back, Granny Gui faced directly to the place of sunset, knelt and cried all night, constantly muttering that God had not abandoned the Ministry of Peace, and gave a good son.

At this time, goodbye to the night terrors, Granny Gui felt as if she had seen her own son, and hurriedly brought someone forward to greet her.

The few people who followed Granny Gui were all the maiden family members of Princess Tianlang, led by Fanlu, a middle-aged man under fifty, who looked polite in a robe.

Before coming to the gate, Fan Qinghe took the lead in speaking:

"Granny Gui, fourth brother."

It was the first time that Fanlu saw the night terror, stared at his appearance several times, and then sighed:

"It's really blue, much more handsome than King Tianlang back then, and the girls in the village are going crazy."

"Yes, yes, this group of girls is wild, don't be too careful, it's ......"

"How could it be ......?"

Night Terror Hall knew the approximate identity of these people, but after all, it was the first time to come, and in the face of a large group of distant relatives, I really didn't know how to be polite, just greeted with a smile, and let Qinghe say it.

Granny Gui was supported by her granddaughter with a cane, and asked the clansmen to pull the carriage to the back mountain to unload the goods, and she glanced at the team and asked:

"Miss Lu didn't come?"

Fan Qinghe knew that Granny Gui would ask this, and said:

"She was making waves in the Winter Styx Mountain back then, and now she is embarrassed to come over. Let's go in and talk. ”

Granny Gui saw that the Night Terror Hall was not looking very good, and knew that she was injured, so she did not delay at the moment, and surrounded the Night Terror Hall and her group into the walled city.

In addition to the city wall on the mountain, there are also many houses in the surrounding mountains, and there are no less than six or seven thousand people living in them.

The inside of the walled city is equivalent to a small town, and there is a street in the center, but because there are no outsiders who can easily enter, there are no shops, only a few restaurants and taverns for the people to have fun when they are fine.

Fan Qinghe's 'palace', at the highest point of the walled city, built on the mountain, not to mention luxury, but quite imposing, left and right are stone steps, and there is a platform above, which seems to be the place where the clansmen are usually lectured or sacrificed.

The Night Terror Hall was helped up the stairs to the platform, where you could get a bird's-eye view of the entire mountain, and behind the platform was a lobby with many chairs.

After Fan Qinghe returned to his residence, he wanted to say goodbye to his uncle who came to pick him up, so that the Night Terror Hall could have a good rest.

But Granny Gui stopped the person and said:

"I finally came over and lay down, and I still have to say a few words to reassure the clansmen; Your Uncle Jiang has already gone to prepare a medicinal bath, and it will take a bath and rest later, which is also good for recovery. ”

The night terror hall is that the wound recovery is a little weak, and it is no problem to sit for a while, and there is no excuse at the moment, and he entered the lobby with Ben Ben, sat down on the chair, and said:

"You don't have to worry, if I kill King Zuoxian, I will understand the consequences, and the matter will definitely not be implicated in the Winter Hades......"

Granny Gui sat down on the chair next to the Night Terror Hall, propped up the armrests, shook her head slightly, and said:

"The royal court was destroyed to resist a strong enemy, and now you have avenged your father's generation, even if the Winter Hades Department is about to face a catastrophe, the elders of the clan here and even the various tribes will not think that it is wrong, and the fault is that our tribes are not capable of resisting strong enemies.

"Before you came, I discussed with all the clan elders, if you want to raise the banner of the Tianlang King again, the entire Winter Hades will be crowded, and no one will say half a 'no'.

"But ambition is ambition, reality is reality, and now that the rod is rising, the major departments outside are not sure, and they may not dare to follow my winter underworld.

"Even if we can integrate all the ministries and work together, the national strength is far inferior to Beiliang, and if we can't beat the three cities of Huxi in half a month, we should run out of food......

Looking at the faces of everyone present, the Night Terror Hall understood that these clan elders really wanted to restore the royal court, but because of their strength, they couldn't gamble with the lives of the entire clan. To this he said:

"The conquest between the two countries is by no means child's play. Now that the Great Wei Chen soldiers are at the border, the Northern Liang will not move a single soldier against the various departments of the West Sea under the condition that the army is pressing.

"As for how to deal with the Northern Liang, the Great Wei Imperial Court will decide, even if it needs the help of the various ministries in the future, it will find a way to get grain and grass armor, so that after the ministries are fully prepared, it is impossible to let the ministries go to the battlefield hungry in leather armor......"

When Fanlu heard this, he felt that the Night Terror Hall still considered himself a Great Wei person, and as a distant fourth uncle, he thought about it and frowned:

"The various departments of the West Sea only serve the king of Tianlang, and even if they are incorporated into the Southern Dynasty under your guidance in the future, they will only obey the king's orders and not the emperor's announcement.

"Speaking of which, even if you are your uncle, I still have to remind you that there is no monarch in history, who will tolerate a vassal minister, and the power is so great that he is self-reliant, even if you recognize yourself as a Wei minister until you die, in fact, you are 'one dynasty and two monarchs', and there will be ......chaos in a hundred years."

Night Terror Hall knew that these were the truth, but it was a little difficult to respond to Fanlu's worries.

Dongfang Liren, as a royal descendant, could not understand how much of a threat the Night Terror Hall really had to the Great Wei Imperial Power when he was really the king of Tianlang, and he wanted to help the Night Terror Hall explain a few sentences.

But history is a lesson from the past, even if the Night Terror Hall can guarantee its own loyalty, it can't limit the ambitions of its descendants, as long as the Night Terror Hall dies, the chain of suspicion between the new monarch of the Dongfang clan and the descendants of King Tianlang will be formed, and no one dares to guarantee that the other party will not be afraid of themselves, so they can only strike first.

At present, the only way to break the situation is to have a son with Night Terror, and inherit the legal system of both sides at the same time, so there is no difference......

Thinking of this, Dongfang moved away from people's eyes and felt that this method was very good, but immediately felt that she was a little outrageous, she thought about it and said:

"This king is the prince of Great Wei, and he has no heir, and he is also the current prince of Great Wei. The Night Terror Hall is the king's ...... Well...... If the horse gives birth to an heir in the future, he will enjoy the inheritance rights of Western Xinjiang and the Great Wei......"

When the elders heard this, their eyes moved, and they felt that this statement was refreshing.

The Night Terror Hall felt that the pie was too big, and shook his head and said:

"It's a solution, but it's too early to talk about it. I am a native of the Great Wei Dynasty, but the various ministries sent me to escape at the cost of dying on the battlefield back then, and I will not forget this grace of birth and nourishment.

"If there is any trouble in the various tribes of the West Sea, as long as I am here, I will go to fulfill the responsibility of the king of Tianlang. As for what will happen in a hundred years, as long as the Northern Liang can be destroyed, no matter how chaotic the situation will be, it will be better than not now.

"I'm not surprised, I can live for a hundred and eighty years, and if I am stable, I can make three generations safe and stable, and it doesn't make sense to think too far......"

All the clan elders here feel that this is also true, now it is a problem for all the departments in the West Sea to eat, and it is really too far to consider the ownership of the emperor in the future.

Granny Gui thought for a while, then looked at the patriarch who was sitting on the throne drinking tea, and said:

"The Late Ministry and the Winter Underworld Department, generations of marriages, if you can't marry a girl from the Winter Underworld, it can be regarded as my Winter Underworld dislike the Poor Late Tribe's family and ruin the ...... of the covenant."

"Huh?"

Fan Qinghe didn't speak, just holding the teacup and listening to the elders' talk, seeing that Granny Gui suddenly mentioned this, she naturally panicked, sat up a little straighter and interjected:

"The Night Terror Hall just came, let's talk about these things later."

Fan Lu frowned when he heard this: "What are you waiting for?" It just so happens that the uncles are here, and if they are interested, we can start looking for candidates now; If it is unintentional, as if this matter has not been mentioned, Jingtang has half of the blood of the Winter Underworld, and there is no need to rely on marriage to maintain the relationship. When people come, we can't mention the marriage without mentioning it. ”

Granny Gui bowed her head slightly and looked at the Night Terror Hall:

"Shocking, do you have this thought?"

The night terror hall let Miss Fan push the stick, pretending not to marry someone, I am afraid that I will be struck by lightning.

But when he heard this, he smiled and nodded like a bird, afraid that he would have to be treated as a color embryo by the old people here.

The Night Terror Hall was thinking about how to agree politely, and the big stupid next to him opened his mouth first.

Dongfang Liren had long wanted to go into the water, and when she saw Granny Gui speak, she asked;

"You can choose what?"

Granny Gui was actually a little worried that the queen of Dawei would not agree, and when she saw the queen saying this, she naturally smiled and said arrogantly:

"There are thousands of girls to be married in the Winter Underworld, as long as Jingtang wants to, you can call them all over and stand outside, let Jingtang choose them one by one, and pick a few more as a dowry to go back to serve the lady......"

Dongfang didn't dare to talk nonsense, but his eyes gestured to the beautiful priest who was sitting on the throne and pretending to be dead:

"Is she okay too?"

“……”

There was a little silence in the lobby.

The dozen or so old people here are all Fan Qinghe's uncles, and if they have to mention this matter here, they are here to urge marriage.

Seeing that the queen had provoked the conversation first, Granny Gui naturally followed the words:

"According to the covenant between the two clans, Qinghe should have married to the royal court as a princess, but unfortunately the royal court was gone, and the matter ended without a problem.

"Qinghe married Jingtang, it is according to the ancestral teachings, we definitely don't dare to have opinions, I just don't know if Jingtang is happy or not......"

Dongfang Liren pushed the watermelon with Aunt Fan, how could the night terror hall not be happy, but in public, it was not good to say that it was too direct, she just said with a very ladylike manner:

"Night Terror Hall is busy with family and country affairs all day long, and he can't answer for the time being, but he has been with Miss Fan for so long, and he has already had a relationship, and he will definitely not refuse if he thinks clearly, this king can deal with this matter for him first, but I don't know what Miss Fan thinks."

Seeing this, everyone turned their eyes to Fan Qinghe again.

“……”

Fan Qinghe was confused in front of so many elders, where could she answer neatly, seeing that everyone was waiting for a reply, her face turned red and said:

"Fourth brother, I count, it's a shocking ......"

Fanlu raised his hand slightly: "How many generations ago, the relationship between the eight poles and the eight poles can't be beaten." We're sitting here, and we're just discussing, and we're not forcing you.

"Let me ask you now, do you want to follow Jingtang in the future and conspire to restore the country, or do you want to disobey the ancestral teachings and find someone by yourself? Let's make it clear, let's arrange ......."

Do you call this a consultation?

Fan Qinghe was speechless when she heard this, as a great Zhuzong, she violated the ancestral teachings and became a hammer Zhuzong, I am afraid that she will be expelled from the group and become a Xihai Lang who is disliked by everyone.

Seeing that the clan elders were so strong, Qing He couldn't respond, so he smiled and said:

"I've really been happy with Qinghe for a long time, but I'm busy with affairs and haven't decided on a relationship yet. Qinghe and I have a sense of proportion in our hearts about these things, and it's not good to rush them......"

Seeing this, Fan Qinghe hurriedly nodded:

"yes, I'm ...... I talked to him privately, and after chatting, I told Granny Gui that the uncles would arrange it again, how about it? ”

Seeing that Fan Qinghe did not refuse on the spot, the old man in the audience already understood the meaning, for the sake of the girl's embarrassment, he did not urge too hard, and after chatting a few more words, he left one after another.

After the night terror hall finished talking, he was clumsily helped to his feet and walked to the residential area behind the lobby.

And Fan Qinghe looked like he had no face to see people, and after sending his uncle away, he ran to the front to lead the way, and he was afraid that he was three feet away, and he couldn't speak.

The night terror hall is not easy to ask, and Ben Ben followed to the courtyard where he stayed, and before he entered the door, he smelled a fragrance, and the hum of "twitter~".

Night Terror Hall was still curious about why the bird was gone, but when he walked into the courtyard, he found that there was an open-air grill in the yard, with charcoal burning in it, and a roast lamb with oil and polish on it.

The bird squatted on the stool, looking directly at the roast sheep, because he couldn't eat it for the time being, so he kept shaking his head and waiting, looking very happy.

There were also two young girls in the courtyard who had danced in Langxuan City before, one was watching the fire in front of the roast sheep, and the other was preparing a medicinal bath in the house.

When Fan Qinghe entered the courtyard, he asked his sister in the clan to cut the lamb, and then entered the house to check the medicinal bath.

Dongfang Liren helped the night terror hall, and after coming to a rather elegant room and sitting down, he walked behind Fan Qinghe, with his arms around his chest and his head slightly tilted:

"Huh? Have you thought about it? ”

“……”

Fan Qinghe's face was red, he turned his back to Dongfang and continued to work, and said in a low voice:

"How can Your Highness mention such a thing in the lobby? I'm a doctor, and it's nothing to do with the night terrors, so wouldn't it roast me on the fire? ”

It's nothing?

Dongfang Li didn't know how to evaluate this, but she didn't say it too directly, just said:

"Then think about it slowly and get down to business first. On the way, let's say okay, let's change it, now it's time for the Winter Underworld Mountain, and the Snow Lake Flower is taken care of by the clan elders, so it's time for you to help with the conditioning, right? ”

“……”

Fan Qinghe blinked, turned around, and looked at the night terror hall that was a little empty:

"He still needs to be recuperated?"

Night Terror sat on the couch, unloaded his sword and sundries, heard the gossip in the back room, shook his head and smiled:

"I'm actually fine...... Ahem......"

found that Stupid's eyes were cold, and he said, "You dare to say that you don't need her help, don't even think about touching this king again this month!" Night Terror quickly shut up again, and when he didn't hear anything, he continued to toss his sword.

Dongfang Liren turned around and looked at Aunt Fan, who wanted to shirk her responsibility:

"Whether he needs to be recuperated or not, as a doctor, you should know better than this king, and you can check it yourself later. If you are really not happy, I will go and explain the situation to Granny Gui, and ask her to choose a suitable girl to serve. Alright, let's eat first. ”

After Dongfang finished speaking, he came to the restaurant next door and began to feed the birds that were already impatient.

Fan Qinghe felt that the Night Terror Hall was so empty, there should be no need to help anymore, so he was silent for a while, but did not respond, helped the Night Terror Hall to sit down on the stool, and changed the topic:

"I'll take a hot bath later, and then I'll take you out for a walk, the moon in the Winter Stygian Mountains is particularly beautiful......"

Dongfang Liren cut the roast sheep with a knife, probably when he was affectionate, he heard too much of the night terrors, and his brain twitched, and he casually answered:

"The moon in the sky, how can there be a beautiful moon of Miss Fan......"

Before he finished speaking, Dongfang Liren's expression was slightly stiff, and his face slowly turned red.

“……”

Night Terror Hall really didn't expect that the stupid stupid who didn't smile could come up with such a burning sentence, almost holding back his breath, he wanted to say 'yes', but looking at the stupid appearance of wanting to kill his mouth, he didn't dare to speak.

And Fan Qinghe was also stunned, looking at the queen who wanted to pretend that nothing had happened, and felt in his heart that he was worthy of being an apprentice taught by a demon girl.

She held back for a moment, whispered, "Where am I worthy of His Highness", and then began to eat with her head bored.

Dongfang left people for a while, and it was definitely not good to speak again. Fan Qinghe thought about the urging of his uncles to get married, but he didn't have the heart to open his mouth.

The three of them ate a few bites, but in the end, they couldn't hold back the night terrors, and they laughed "poof~" and then their shoulders trembled.

Dongfang Liren heard the muffled laughter, and the face that had just been suppressed turned red again, and he stepped on the toes of this color embryo:

"What are you laughing at?!"

"Huh...... It's nothing, this roast lamb is really big...... Hiss ~ really fragrant ......"

The bird with a stuffy head and dry rice, looked at the night terror hall that was crying with joy when eating roast sheep, spread out his wings and chirped twice, the meaning was obviously - roast sheep, as for eating so happy? What about the yield?

However, after doubting, Bird Bird still gave Night Terror two pieces of cut mutton very intimately, so that he could eat more if he was happy......
