Yu Qing was going to drink another bottle, but he listened to Chengsuke's advice: "The Lord is unwell, just drink a cup to show his heart, don't drink more, and these three messengers fought fiercely with demons, and they must have been injured, so..."

"Okay, just according to the words of Chengfu." The city lord of Yuqing said with a smile, he looked at Jielan, who was flushed after drinking, and felt that she was bright and moving, he looked at her in a daze, only to see Jielan's blushing and embarrassing.

Qi Xue noticed the look of the city lord, and immediately understood his intentions, she glared at him fiercely, and said loudly: "I remember that the city lord once promised us that as long as we eliminate the demons, we can heal Chengfeng's injuries, I wonder if the city lord still remembers this?" ”

Yu Qing thought of this, his face turned cold, he didn't speak, but he could hear the first Hong Shangshu speak: "At the beginning, the Jielan envoy promised the city lord three things, and he could only promise after all three things were completed, and now he has only completed one thing, so he can't respond to the request of the three envoys for the time being." ”

Qi Xue was blocked back, and the boss in her heart was unwilling, if she had a seizure in normal times, but now she was in the city court, and she was facing these officials and city lords, so even if she was angry in her heart, she had to endure it.

Jielan was not very happy in her heart, but since the other party who had agreed so much at the beginning, she had to keep her promise at this time, she asked, "But I don't know what the second thing the city lord said?" ”

The face of the city lord of Yuqing softened again, and his eyes were full of gentleness, "Now everyone has a feast, and as for other things, we will talk about it later." ”

Jielan didn't know what the second thing was, but thinking that he didn't want to say it at this time, it must not be an ordinary thing, she didn't ask again, she just worried about Chengfeng, and she didn't know if his injuries could get worse in the few days they left, whether he was taken care of, I don't know if he would hate himself and hate himself for making his own decisions.

Although she wanted to ask about Chengfeng's situation, she saw that the city lord of Yuqing and the officials were very happy, and she was so anxious to mention Chengfeng at this moment for fear that it would make him feel that he did not trust him, and it would be even more disadvantageous for them to anger the city lord at that time, so she could only accompany the wine and laugh.

In order to celebrate Jielan's triumphant return, the officials also prepared singing and dancing performances, etc., so that the banquet was dispersed until the time of the festival, and after the dispersal, Jielan and the black pig planned to go back to the 'Jiaolan Palace', a few just out of the 'Taihe Palace', the Li Gonggong who served on Yu Qing's side came to ask: "The Lord has invited the Jielan envoy to the 'Taihe Palace', and the Lord has something to tell the messenger." ”

"I don't know what?" Jielan was curious, but also a little uneasy.

"The servant is only responsible for guiding the way, and as for what the master will tell the messenger himself, he will ask the messenger to go to the minion."

The last time Qi Xue saw this father-in-law take Jielan away alone, she was already very uneasy, and this time she wanted to take Jielan away, how could she not be angry, Qi Xue stood in front of Jielan, and said: "This is in the middle of the night, don't you lords avoid suspicion?" It's good that Jielan is also a messenger, how can the lord of a city summon the messenger alone in the middle of the night, if this is spread, then what is Jielan? ”

Gonggong Li also had a difficult face, and said: "The lord has summoned the envoy late at night, not the Jielan envoy alone, and the master told the servant that if the Jielan envoy refuses to go with me, he will tell you that this trip is for the white devil." ”

"Bearing the wind?" Jielan finally heard the news about Chengfeng, she couldn't care about anything else, she just wanted to see the city lord soon, "Then please lead the way, I'll go with you." ”

Qi Xue and Black Pig both stopped: "Lan, you can think clearly, I always think that the city lord is weird, and he also cares about you, so you are not afraid..."

Jielan hurriedly sighed and motioned to Qi Xue not to go any further, "Since you and Long Yi both saw me taken to the Taihe Hall by Gonggong Li, then I think the city lord of Yuqing will definitely treat me politely." Jielan's words were not only for Qi Xue and Long Yi, but also for Yu Li's father-in-law.

The black pig whispered, "Blue! ”

Jielan smiled faintly and said to the black pig: "Don't worry, I will definitely come back to see you safely, and then work together to complete the second thing, okay?" ”

The black pig was stunned for a moment, although he smiled and said 'um', full of trust in Jielan.

Jielan said goodbye to them, and went to the Taihe Hall with this Li Gonggong, for some reason, this time Jielan's mood was a little heavier, the first time she went, she was just a little apprehensive, but this time she was full of fear and worry, because she thought of what Yu Qing said to herself last time, what she did, she was afraid, but even so, she was still reluctant to tell the black pig the truth, because she was afraid that they would worry about themselves.

When he arrived at the Taihe Palace, Gonggong Li pushed the door open, then stepped back to one side, and invited Jielan to enter the hall, Jielan stood outside the temple door, took a deep breath, and then raised heavy steps and stepped into this dull and frightening palace again.

After entering the palace, Gonggong Li closed the heavy door again, and when the door was closed, there was a 'squeak', which sounded extremely harsh. Jielan put her hands together on her chest, looked around the hall uneasily, and after a while, she saw a few coughs coming from the apse, and then a gentle footstep gradually approached Jielan, Jielan's heart rose again, she didn't know how to face this city lord alone, she thought in her heart that as soon as this city lord appeared in front of her, she would go straight to the point, and then quickly left.

Yu Qing gradually approached Jielan, and when he walked in front of Jielan, Jielan didn't dare to raise her head to look at him, and the city lord of Yuqing said softly: "Are you so afraid of this master?" Don't even want to look at the owner? ”

Jielan's voice was very faint when she heard him, as if she was very sick, and she involuntarily raised her head, which frightened her into taking two steps back. Because the city lord of Yuqing standing in front of her was only wearing a white silk single coat when he was sleeping, and a golden brocade shirt was casually draped over his shoulders, his face looked very pale, as if he was really sick, he coughed a few times, and looked at the beautiful woman in front of him, he actually felt a little sad on his face.

"Since the city lord is sick, I won't disturb the city lord to rest, and it's not too late for the city lord to talk about anything tomorrow." Jielan wanted to leave, but said in a hurry.

"Looking at you, I think my lord's illness will be much better." Yu Qing said gently.

Jielan's face turned red, and she said angrily: "Please be cautious, don't say these teasing words again, otherwise even if I have a request from you, the city lord, I won't say that you can let the city lord play tricks." ”

"This is not a joke, but from the heart, do you know, when you first appeared in front of my eyes in a white dress, the owner has paid attention to the heart, and then saw you fighting with the white wolf elegant and proud figure, the owner can not forget your charming appearance at that time, so you have been haunting in front of the lord's eyes, I really want to see you all the time, you have been removing the demon for a few days, the lord is worried about you day and night, I am afraid that you will never return, so the lord said that before you come back, I will not eat or drink, I've been waiting for you to come back, but I didn't expect you to really come back, thank you for saving my lord's life. Yu Qing said this, although his face was still sick, but the dazzling look in his eyes shone brightly, as if he had really regained his vitality, and he had a terrifying charm.

Jielan heard this heartfelt words that she didn't expect, she was a little stunned, she didn't know what to do, she panicked, she only felt that she was a little unable to control herself, she only trembled: "How... How so? ”

Yu Qing took two steps closer to Jielan and forced Jielan to the door, and Jielan, who had no way to retreat, looked at Jielan who was a few feet away in front of her, put her hand on her shoulder, and said softly: "So, my second thing is to ask you to marry me as your wife and become the queen of this Qing Zhou City." ”

This is like a song from outside the sky, like a spell that imprisons Jielan there, too much surprise has made this strong woman like a shell, there is no longer any intention to object, she can refuse, she just looked at the man in front of her in a daze, looking at his affectionate eyes, helpless and shocked.

Yu Qing looked at the silent woman and continued, "Please agree to the request of this master and stay by my side!" Yu Qing stretched out his arms and hugged Jielan, who was unconscious due to excessive surprise, into his arms, stroking her long royal blue hair, smelling the indifferent fragrance of her hair, Yu Qing was intoxicated for a while, he tightened his arms, and hugged Jielan tighter.

Touching the fiery body temperature from the other party, Jielan immediately reacted, if it was an ordinary woman, who was so affectionately embraced by a high-ranking city lord, she would definitely respond to his hug, but for Jielan, this hug would only remind her of Qing Zhan, the first man in her life to hug herself, and thinking of him, Jielan couldn't bear to be offended and possessed by other men, Jielan, who gradually recovered her will, carried her spiritual power with her right hand, pushed towards Yu Qing, pushed him out a few steps, and then dodged to the left, and said: " I think the city lord you misunderstood, I didn't mean this, I'm sorry to disappoint you, I can't accept your feelings, please forgive me, so please change something else for me to complete. ”

"This is the wish of the Lord, and other things are not as important as you in the Lord's heart." Yu Qing said sadly.

"That's really going to disappoint the city lord, I'm sorry, I don't mean that to the city lord, I just want to heal Chengfeng's injury." Jielan emphasized again, although she felt that saying this hurt the city lord's self-esteem and face, she couldn't care about it so much, she just wanted to escape as soon as possible and leave the man who scared her.

"So do you really have a heart for him? Therefore they refuse to respond to the will of the Lord. Yu Qing's chin tilted slightly, and his expression was both a little sad and a little sad.

"No, no, please don't speculate about the relationship between me and Chengfeng, we're just friends, but even so, I won't grant your request." Jielan replied.

"Then you're afraid that the city lord of Chiyan City won't agree? You can rest assured, as long as the lord writes back, I believe that the monarch of Chiyan City is very willing to witness the marriage for us, so that our two cities will become permanent friends, which is what Chiyan City expects the most. The reason for her refusal that Yu Qing thought could only be explained by this.

"No, even if you write back to the city lord of Xuanming, even if he agrees to the marriage between us, I will not agree, please Yuqing city lord do not order me, if you think that you can get me by order, then I have nothing to say." Jielan suddenly became a little angry.

Yu Qing closed his eyes and sighed, "This master can indeed rely on orders to get you to agree to my request, but I also know that feelings are not obtained by orders, but I will let you agree to my request without orders." ”

"What?" Jielan thought this was funny, but she didn't think it was possible at all.

"I believe that I will be a person whom you respect and are tempted, and I believe that one day I will grant my request, but I will give you freedom and will not force you, because what I want is your sincerity." Yu Qing said a few words and coughed again, "Someone!" He shouted to Gonggong Li, who was guarding outside the hall.

Father-in-law Na Li pushed open the door and walked in with a bow, "Lord! ”

"Take the Jielan envoy back to the 'Jiaolan Palace' to rest, you have to order someone to take care of her, you know?" Yu Qing commanded.

Gonggong Li answered yes, and said to Jielan: "Jielan messenger, please!" ”

Jielan hurriedly walked out of the hall, when she breathed the air outside, Jielan's tense heart was slightly relieved, she looked back at the city lord of Yuqing, but saw his figure hidden in the shadows, looking lonely and lonely, for some reason, she also felt that this city lord was a little pitiful, but I don't know if it was because she rejected him or because his heart was so arrogant and did not find a place.
