1. Purple Clothes Chapter 14 The Imperial Court is an Uninvited Guest
"Huh?"
The corners of the girl's mouth twitched fiercely, and she couldn't react.
"Cream? Old goat? ”
"Could it be that I really said it last night, that guy is really a pervert?"
Soon, the girl shook her head again, feeling a little unreal, after all, she had seen it last night, although Nan Ruosu looked a little ruffian, but her eyes were very clear, and she didn't look like the kind of person in the mouth of the girl who returned to Yanlou.
"Could it be that everything is his disguise?"
For a while, the girl was also a little unstable in her heart.
Especially when she thought that after she had close contact with Nan Ruosu last night, she suddenly felt a little more in her heart.
However, since she saw Nan Ruosu, her eyes have never taken off Nan Ruosu.
Nan Ruosu, who was carrying a green edge, leading a white horse, and striding with her head held high, no matter how she looked at it, gave her a sassy feeling.
Coupled with Nan Ruosu's appearance, he was originally suave and dusty, and he was a veritable handsome son.
The reason why everyone in White Dragon City didn't want to see him was because of his notoriety, which had already spread throughout White Dragon City.
In the minds of everyone in White Dragon City, his image has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and when it comes to him, people will always have preconceived ideas and be blinded by his evil deeds, so that his appearance will not become the focus of others' attention.
But the girl is different, the preconceived idea of Nan Ruosu in her heart is his clear eyes, and even she doesn't want to believe that Nan Ruosu is the kind of person in the mouth of everyone in White Dragon City.
"Long Zhang Fengzi, natural nature, I didn't expect that he is still quite good-looking!"
Suddenly, a thought that had never risen in the girl's heart before, made her blush slightly.
She has grown so big that she has seen countless characters of all kinds, including some noble sons of wealthy families, princes and generals.
Among them, some of them are more outstanding in appearance than Nan Ruosu, and some are even full of wealth, and their talents are not comparable to Nan Ruosu.
The most important thing is that they are all obedient to their words, but no one among them can look up to her, without exception.
The girl didn't know why she had such a completely different feeling for Nan Ruosu, such a stranger who had only met once, probably because he was different!
Nan Ruosu soon noticed that there was a gaze in the crowd that always stayed on him, and he turned his head sideways silently, but when he saw the source of the gaze, he was stunned.
The four eyes were facing each other, and then they quickly separated like an electric shock.
The girl who lowered her head only felt that her heart was beating non-stop.
Her cheeks were a little hot, and she didn't dare to look at Nan Ruosu again, that feeling was like being caught peeping, which made her embarrassed.
As for Nan Ruosu, he looked at it with a little weakness, and Shen Lianchong, who was walking on the other side of the coffin, saw that he didn't seem to notice anything, so he breathed a sigh of relief, pretending that nothing had happened, and caught up with the footsteps of others without squinting.
In the White Dragon City, where the sadness spreads, the girl and Nan Ruosu, the two young men and women, both look a little out of place in terms of demeanor and state of mind.
Fortunately, the others didn't seem to notice it at all.
Not much later, out. The funeral procession has gone up to Wanglong Mountain.
Although the cemetery of Nan Ruoxun is on Wanglong Mountain, it is not on the top of Wanglong Mountain, but in the position of halfway up Wanglong Mountain.
Overlooking the White Dragon City from this position, all the scenery of the White Dragon City is in full view, and none of it falls.
"It's also a good place, but I don't know that this place is the Kanyu warlock that my father is looking for, and I came here looking for it."
When the coffin landed, Nan Ruosu took the white horse in his hand aside, and then he was idle and looked at the White Dragon City at his feet.
However, in his opinion, the Kanyu Warlock used by his father this time is obviously not the best in this industry.
Not to mention anything else, as far as he is an outsider, he can see at a glance that the feng shui on the top of Wanglong Mountain, which is entwined with mist, is definitely not worse than this halfway up the mountain.
However, he didn't pay much attention to this, since his father chose here, then it would be okay here, anyway, it was just a formality.
Soon, everything was ready.
"Wait!"
Just as he was about to fall into the coffin, a sharp snort suddenly came from the foot of Wanglong Mountain.
Immediately afterwards, a lightning-like figure, from the foot of Wanglong Mountain, flew all the way up, and soon came to the location where everyone was.
The people present all looked at the person for some unknown reasons, only to see that the person who came had red lips and white teeth, and looked like a monkey with a sharp mouth, who should be about the same age as Nan Xuanji, with two strands of white silk mixed with his temples!
It's actually a temple man!
Looking at the comer, Nan Ruosu frowned, and turned his eyes to look in the direction of the stork tower opposite Wanglong Mountain.
I happened to see a team of people and horses who did not belong to White Dragon City, passing under the stork and magpie, and were hurrying towards this side.
"A man of the court? What is he doing here? ”
Almost as soon as they saw the temple people, some people in White Dragon City who could recognize their identities had such questions in their hearts.
Even most of the ordinary people who didn't know the identity of the temple people looked at him with puzzled faces.
Except for the girl in the crowd, the first time she saw the temple people, she instinctively wanted to step forward, but the next second, she stopped her steps.
He even shrank into the crowd, frowned, and stared at the visitor with a puzzled expression.
After seeing the face of the person who came clearly, Nan Xuanji pushed the wheelchair forward, and couldn't help but clench his fists softly: "I don't know what kind of wind blew Lord Yan to my White Dragon City?" ”
"Nan is disrespectful, disrespectful!"
His tone is neither intimate nor detached, neither salty nor light.
For the uninvited temple people, Nan Xuanji is no stranger, this person is the first attendant of the palace temple Yan Zizai.
However, Nan Xuanji did not call Yan Zizai his father-in-law like others, but took the initiative to call him an adult.
After all, Yan Zizai was an envoy sent by Emperor Qining, representing the royal face of the Suci Dynasty.
Moreover, Yan Zizai's power in the palace is deep-rooted and complex, as long as he doesn't take the initiative to show any bad intentions, Nan Xuanji will naturally not take the initiative to refute his face.
"The city lord is polite, our family has taken the liberty to visit, if there is any disturbance, I hope the city lord will not blame you!"
Yan Zizai also clenched his fists in his chest, and said with a smile on his face: "His Majesty the Holy Emperor is very sad to hear that General Anbei has suffered this catastrophe, and he specially sent our family to come to mourn!" ”
"By the way, in accordance with the will of His Majesty the Holy Emperor, I will personally seek the title of Marquis of Anbei for General Anbei Nanruo."
"I never thought that our family was one step late, and I almost missed it, I'm really sorry, Lord of the City, the Hope Festival is a good change."
It's just that his sharp-beaked monkey cheeks not only look approachable when he laughs, but also has a sinister and cunning taste.
In addition, he pinched the orchid finger all the time, making people take a look, and he was reluctant to take a second look, so as not to be disgusted by his contrived appearance.
"Thank you for your care, Xuanji is deeply moved!"
Nan Xuanji turned his head in the direction of the stork tower, bowed, sighed, turned to look at Yan Zizai, and said, "Lord Yan, you have a heart, if the dog has a spirit in the sky, it should also rest in peace." ”
"I also hope that Lord Yan will wait for a while, and after the dog is buried and rested, Nan will definitely do his landlord's friendship in White Dragon City, and set up a banquet for Lord Yan to receive the wind and wash the dust."
With that, he waved his hand and motioned for the ceremony to continue.
"Slow!"
Yan Zizai took a step forward, his face was embarrassed, and said, "The city lord thinks that he has misunderstood the meaning of our family. ”
"His Majesty the Holy Emperor means to let our family personally mourn in front of General Anbei, and complete the sealing ceremony by the way, so as to comfort General Anbei's soul in the sky!"
After speaking, he walked forward directly, preparing to approach Nan Ruoxun's coffin.
According to the customs of the Su Ci Dynasty, the deceased is the greatest, and it is unreasonable to disturb Nan Ruoxun's body at this time, which Yan Zizai, as the first servant in the palace, knows this.
If he didn't even understand the most basic customs and customs of the Su Ci Dynasty, he would not have been reused by Emperor Qining, and he would not have come to this point.
However, he was strict in this trip, he was originally following the secret order of Emperor Qining, and the drunkard's intention was not to drink, even if this matter was tricky, he had to do it for Emperor Qining safely.
Otherwise, he would have no way to explain to Emperor Qining when he went back.
This is where his duty as the chief attendant in the palace lies, and many things are inconvenient for Emperor Qining to interfere in, so he has to use his hands to complete them.
Even if there are some things that need to be infamous in the world, he has to do it, as long as he is by the side of Emperor Qining for a day, he has to take on this responsibility, and he has to bear those involuntary infamy.
"This ...... Lord Yan, the dog's remains have been buried, and I am afraid that the adults will not be able to seal it in front of him. ”
Nan Xuanji hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him, and hesitated: "Moreover, the dog is deceased and his appearance is not neat, if he is seen by an adult, I am afraid that you will be contaminated with bad luck and shock your adult!" ”
"What's more, this auspicious time has arrived, there can be no delay, you see, this ceremony, it is better to wait for the dog to enter the soil for peace, at that time, the adult only needs to walk in front of the dog grave process?"
Yan Zizai had already said this, how could Nan Xuanji not understand what he was thinking? I'm afraid that the seal is fake, and detecting the truth is the real purpose of his trip!
When he saw Yan Zizai coming uninvited before, he had already thought of this in his heart, but he still had a trace of luck in his heart.
Now it seems that he not only underestimated Emperor Qining's patience, but also underestimated Emperor Qining's suspicions!
I can't imagine that he, a dignified holy emperor, a veritable lord of a dynasty, would disregard the customs and habits of the dynasty and make such a high-sounding act.
It's ridiculous to think about, but it also reflects from another aspect that Emperor Qining was still very jealous of Nan Ruoxun's prestige in recent years.
"Lord of the city, I'm afraid there's something wrong with this!"
Yan Zizai frowned slightly, slightly dissatisfied in his heart, and said: "Although this is a lot of blasphemy for General Anbei, I think that the city lord is also a reasonable person, and he will not make it difficult for our family, let alone disobey the will of His Majesty the Holy Emperor, right?" ”
"Lord City, our family can understand your difficulties, but you must also be considerate of our family's difficulties, but don't let our family go back and not be able to pay to His Majesty the Holy Emperor!"
Although, Nan Xuanji's words were very satisfactory and reasonable, without any flaws, after all, he had also been crawling in the court for many years, and he was naturally well versed in the way of officialdom.
Moreover, now he is no longer the young and vigorous "Demon Spear God of the Army", after so many years of precipitation, the Southern Xuanji who has gone to the edge has become more and more unfathomable, and the surface kung fu is naturally impeccable.
However, Yan Zizai still sensed resistance from his words, which immediately made him dissatisfied.
Who is he Yan Zizi? The first servant in the palace of the Su Ci Dynasty, even if he is only a temple man, but because of the proximity to the water, his power in the palace is naturally extraordinary.
What's more, he came out this time, but he represented His Majesty the Supreme Holy Emperor of the Su Ci Dynasty.
Since it is the decree of His Majesty the Holy Emperor, even if you Nan Xuanji is unwilling in your heart, you have to bear it obediently, right?
After all, no matter how famous you Nan Xuanji was in the past, now you are just the lord of a city in this bitter cold land in the north, and you also belong to the Su Ci Dynasty.
Since he is a member of the Su Ci Dynasty, he is also under the control of His Majesty the Holy Emperor, and no one in the Su Ci Dynasty can get rid of this fate.
Therefore, in Yan Zizai's eyes, even if His Majesty the Holy Emperor wants to dig the ancestral grave of the Nan Xuanji family, it is a matter of course.
Since Nan Xuanji resisted, it was disrespectful to his strict and self-contained and disrespectful to His Majesty the Holy Emperor.
"That's nature, that's nature!"
Nan Xuanji habitually buckled the wheelchair under his body, and said with a smile: "Lord Yan is also acting on orders, Nan will naturally not make it difficult for Lord Yan, Lord Yan rest assured, after today, no one in White Dragon City will mention this matter, this point, Nan dares to guarantee with Lord Yan." ”
"After so many years in White Dragon City, Nan is confident, this prestige is still there, as for His Majesty the Holy Emperor, I hope Lord Yan will have a few more kind words."
Since Yan Zizai came by order, and he himself was a celebrity beside Emperor Qining, Nan Xuanji didn't want to tear his face with him until he had to.
Tearing his face too early, whether it is for him or for Nan Ruosu, is not a good thing.
Especially at this time, since Emperor Qining sent Yan Zizai over at this time, it means that he has already become vigilant in his heart.
Although on the surface, it seems that Emperor Qining sent Yan Zizai over in order to seal his son Nan Ruoxun and express his condolences to himself, but what it is, Nan Xuanji knows it.
It's just that he doesn't want to break it.
"This ......"
Yan Zizai's eyes condensed slightly, and he said with some embarrassment: "City Lord, I won't tell you anything, the person who was ordered to come to White Dragon City this time is not our family, our family is just one step ahead, and the others are escorting the tombstone that His Majesty the Holy Emperor personally found someone to build for the Marquis of Anbei, and His Majesty's decree will arrive later." ”
"Therefore, this favor is not that our family does not help the city lord, but that our family has more than enough strength and is not enough!"
In the face of Nan Xuanji's heart of bribery, although Yan Zizai was silent on the surface, he sneered in his heart.
Before he came to White Dragon City, His Majesty the Holy Emperor had already confided his concerns to him, and he came to White Dragon City this time, ostensibly to announce the decree of Nan Ruoxun, but in fact it was a naked conspiracy.
Therefore, how could he possibly give Nan Xuanji a chance to bribe?
Nan Ruosu, who had a cold face, stood aside and didn't intervene, just looked coldly at Yan Zizi, who was hiding a knife in his smile, and his face was calm to the extreme.
No one knew what he was thinking, as if what Yan Zizai said had nothing to do with him, and he didn't care at all.
It's just that from time to time, he will quietly glance at the position of the mountainside, he is waiting, waiting for the arrival of his accomplices.
According to the footsteps, that group of people should be about to go up to Wanglong Mountain, otherwise, with Nan Ruosu's character, he would have already driven the untargeted gelding in front of him down the mountain, how could he be allowed to make a big fuss here.
The girl in the crowd, her brows furrowed deeper, and her face also showed a look of anger, although she had not experienced any strong winds and waves, but she was not a stupid white sweet who did not understand the world, and she could naturally understand Yan Zizi's voice.
I didn't expect this Yan Zizi to be so shameless, his behavior was so despicable, and he dared to pull the tiger skin to pull the banner, he really didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
Nan Ruoxun was clearly martyred, and he actually said in front of his father that he wanted to carry out the decree sealing ceremony in front of Nan Ruoxun.
Since ancient times, where has there been such a sealing ceremony?
Doesn't sealing in front of the dead mean digging up the grave and opening the coffin? How is this kind of behavior different from that of robbers?
She wanted to see what kind of medicine Yan Zizai was selling in the gourd, anyway, she didn't believe it, things were really as Yan Zizai said.
The smile on Nan Xuanji's face gradually disappeared, and his expression became displeased, and his fingers still tapped lightly on the wheelchair under him, making an even and crisp sound, and he fell into deep thought.
After a long time, he raised his head, looked at Yan Zizi, who was also facing him, and asked in a low voice, "What does Lord Yiyan mean?" ”
Although Yan Zizai's implication had been expressed very obviously, Nan Xuanji still pretended not to understand.
Not only did he stare at Yan Zizai with a calm face, but the 10,000 border soldiers led by Yue Yang also stared at Yan Zizai stubbornly, all of them rushing to the crown and cracking.
Although they are all rough people from the military, they have their own decisions about right and wrong.
Although the ruler of the Su Ci Dynasty is Emperor Qining, Nan Ruoxun's status in their hearts is only higher than that of him.
After all, the ruler of Emperor Qining was nothing more than a stranger thousands of miles away to them, and most of them had never even seen his true face in Lushan.
However, Nan Ruoxun is different, he is the brother of all of them day and night, although Nan Ruoxun is their boss, he is also the closest relative in the hearts of all of them.
All of them, none of them want to see such a brother who has made great achievements in battle, and after being martyred, he will be bullied by others.
If it weren't for Yue Yang's silence all the time, it is estimated that they would have rushed up and tore Yan Zi, a guy who is neither male nor female, to pieces.
A soldier can be killed, but not humiliated. It has always been the most basic principle believed in by the army, not to mention, Nan Ruoxun is still an undefeated myth in the minds of each of them, and it is the spiritual pillar of their northern border army.
Even, the eyes of almost everyone present stayed on Yan Zizai, but different groups of people had different expressions.
The people of White Dragon City had more doubts on their faces, they were all poor people at the bottom of their duty, and most of them couldn't understand Nan Xuanji and Yan Zizi's obscure official tone.
And the big names in White Dragon City quietly watched the development of the situation, and each of them had their own pros and cons to weigh in their hearts.
At this time, the team of people who had passed by the Tank Que Tower before also climbed Wanglong Mountain, and they were about to come to the mountainside.
"Lord of the city, our family has a compromise, don't you know what?"
Yan Zizai looked at everyone's expressions in his eyes, especially the soldiers on the northern border, the sharp eyes like blades, and the fierce momentum exuded by each of them, made Yan Zizai feel a little stunned in his heart.
However, he was not worried about anything in his heart, in his opinion, although these people were all first-class masters in the northern border army, they were also restricted by the Su Ci Dynasty.
No matter how angry they are in their hearts, they can only break their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs, and they may not dare to do it to themselves.
As for the big people in White Dragon City, none of them are fools, even if Nan Xuanji is the lord of a city, but if they have to choose between Nan Xuanji and His Majesty the Holy Emperor, they know better than anyone what to do.
The rest of the ordinary people, even more insignificant, at most they are just talking behind their backs, and they don't even have the courage to question in person.
Nan Xuanji sighed and said, "If Lord Yan has any compromise, you might as well talk about it!" ”
Yan Zizai said unhurriedly: "Actually, the method is very simple, as long as the city lord is willing to open the corner of General Anbei's coffin, let our family take a look, and by the way, announce the decree of His Majesty the Holy Emperor." ”
"In this way, not only can our family have an explanation after they go back, but it is also a decent way for the city lord."
"Lord of the City, what do you think?"
As he spoke, he had been observing Nan Xuanji's expression, wanting to see the clues from Nan Xuanji's face.
Moreover, his words have been made very clear, since he is here, Nan Ruoxun's coffin has been opened, if Nan Xuanji is a little more interesting, maybe he can still end up decent, if not, I am afraid that he will only bring humiliation on himself.
