06 Hidden dangers in the royal city

Nan Rong paused for a moment, her smart eyes were full of sadness, she sighed lightly, and said: "I thought that when I came here this time, I would meet both Chengfeng and Shaojun who left the royal city, because I heard that in order to escort a few of you back to the royal court, Shaojun let the soldiers of the Divine Beast Regiment come back first, and he and his two subordinates stayed behind to protect you, but I didn't expect that you would actually come and ask me where he was?" It seems that I can only tell you that he is not in the royal court, these days, the king's father and brother, including me, are very concerned about Shaojun, I wonder if you can tell me, what happened to Shaojun? ”

He wasn't in the royal city? Why? Jielan was a little puzzled, she thought to herself, hasn't Tan Qi escorted his body back to the royal court? Could it be that something happened on the way?

Jielan's whole heart was raised again, worried about the safety of Qing Zhan, she didn't know what was going on with Qing Zhan, why she hadn't returned to the royal court, no wonder she had been calm for the past two days, and there were no officers and soldiers to arrest her, it turned out that the people in the royal court didn't know that Qing Zhan had died under her sword.

"Actually... In fact, fight him..."Jielan couldn't help but want to tell the truth to this princess named Nanrong, and Chengfeng beside her hurriedly pulled her behind her and said to Nanrong: "On the way, we met a woman named Phantom Ji, and we were attacked by this woman, so we dispersed. ”

Jielan didn't know why Chengfeng was guarding against this princess, but she had experienced so many things, and she also knew that everything in the world was dangerous, and she couldn't trust a person who had just met so much, not to mention that the other party was still a princess, and she didn't know what the relationship between her and Shaojun was?

"Oh? Is it? It's really chilling that such a thing will happen, this princess will send people to find out this woman named Phantom Ji, and she will also send people to find the whereabouts of Qingzhan Shaojun, after all, he must be present at the sacrificial ceremony three days later, otherwise this sacrificial ceremony will be canceled. Nan Rong's words became a little hard and cold, and a little cold.

"The Great Hall of Sacrifice?" Jielan was very curious about this sacrificial ceremony, she hadn't heard of it, but she thought it was a very grand ceremony.

"Yes, what, is Jielan very interested in the sacrificial ceremony?" Nan Rong involuntarily asked this question.

Jielan was just curious, so she asked, and she shook her head when she heard Nanrong ask like this. Nanrong looked at Chengfeng, as if thinking of something, and said, "Oh, by the way, the White Devil, who is a Holy Venerable, also needs to be on top of the sacrificial hall that day, I hope that at that time, Chengfeng will not refuse politely." ”

Chengfeng only said: "I'll say one more thing to the princess at the end, I'm not going to go with you, princess, so don't bother with your words." ”

Nan Rong heard that Chengfeng was unwilling to return to the royal court with her, her expression was a little dissatisfied, and she also looked a little dignified, she said in a deep voice: "Could it be that the Holy Venerable will only agree to return to the royal court if the king personally comes to invite him?" ”

"It's up to me to decide whether I will return to the royal court or not, the princess doesn't have to worry about it, as for them, since I don't go, they won't go, so the princess should go back!" Cheng Feng did not tolerate the slightest thing, and he was not polite to the princess.

Princess Nanrong was a little angry, but soon returned to her original face, she smiled, and said: "Since the Holy Venerable is unwilling to return to the royal court with me, I will naturally not be reluctant, but the Holy Venerable has a special identity, and I have heard that there are many people who are not good for you along the way, if these people still want to attack you, don't blame me for not coming to meet you, but if you need something, I will definitely try my best to help." ”

Chengfeng couldn't figure out this princess, but he only politely refused: "The princess doesn't have to worry about me, this place is simple, the princess should go back!" ”

Although he was rejected from beginning to end, Nan Rong still maintained his bearing, did not get angry with Chengfeng, nor did he use his identity as a princess to suppress him, but just smiled indifferently and said: "Since this is the case, then I will no longer persuade him, but it is still the same sentence, the Holy Venerable is always a person in the royal court, if there is any need, I will definitely help." After she finished speaking, she looked at Jielan beside Chengfeng, nodded at her to show respect, and then walked towards the outside of the medicine village, and those waiters also hurriedly followed out, and the owner of the medicine village immediately went to greet her.

After Princess Nanrong left, Jielan was a little angry, thinking why Chengfeng wanted to prevent him from going to the royal court, but it was not appropriate to discuss this matter here, so Jielan only said: "You come upstairs with me." ”

Chengfeng went upstairs with her, and when she arrived in the Dejielan room, Jielan let the black pig and Qixue in, then closed the door, faced Chengfeng coldly, and asked, "Why did you stop me from going to the royal court, why did you miss such a good opportunity?" ”

Chengfeng was not in a hurry or impatient, but was silent for a while, his expression was very solemn, his eyes were staring at Jielan, he was a little helpless about her willfulness, he only said: "Then do you know what it means if I go with Princess Nanrong?" ”

"What? All I know is that this way we can enter the royal court without any problems. Jielan said preemptively.

"What do you know about this court? What do you know about this Nanrong princess? Do you want me to tell you about the origin of this Nanrong princess, so that your hot head can calm down. Chengfeng's voice was raised, and there was a sense of reproach in Jielan's words.

"Isn't she a princess? What else do I need to know? Jielan was already unkind to Chengfeng, she always thought that Chengfeng deliberately prevented her from going to the royal court. Seeing the two of them arguing, the black pig hurriedly grabbed Jielan's hand and persuaded: "Lan, you calm down first and listen to Chengfeng finish speaking, okay?" After listening to the black pig's advice, Jielan took a deep breath, held back her anger, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, you say, I'll listen quietly here." ”

Chengfeng sorted out his thoughts and said: "This princess Nanrong is the daughter of the current king's brother King Belon, in this blood Ying king's court, there are three royal family blood magnates, the first is the current queen Ling Yue Wang, she is the second daughter of the first king, and her long stem is prominent, so she was appointed as the king by the young monarch of the previous royal deity group, and the second is Nanrong's father, King Belon, who was also actively supporting his status and wanted to become the king of Xueying, but in the end he was excluded because of the poison incident, so he did not ascend the throne, The third is the third son of the first king, King Min Luo, but unfortunately he died ten years ago, and his wife also killed herself, only one of the widowed sons is called Kenji, this son is probably only ten years old this year, so the power is weak, but King Beron is the most powerful. And the current king has disappeared for 20 years for no reason, resulting in a vacancy in the throne, during this time the king of Peron is in charge of the government, so his power can be said to be the power of the government and the opposition, and now, the queen has returned to the royal court, which has posed a threat to the status of the king of Belon, and the king of Beron has abdicated the throne with the crime of leaving the throne without permission and abandoning the subjects of the world, but the king must find the next king to abdicate, and the next king's candidate is Nanrong, Kenji, and the beloved son of the current king, Did you know that all three of them could be the next king? ”

After Jielan heard this, she was stunned, she didn't think that things would be so complicated, and she didn't think that the original royal court and the city and county were the same, there was a struggle for power, there were conspiracies, it turned out that this place was the same as Qing Zhou City, between relatives, for the throne can put each other to death, thinking of the battle between Yu Ning and Yu Qing, Jielan felt shuddered.

"Then what does this have to do with you going to the royal court?" Jielan didn't figure it out at this point, because she couldn't be an outsider in the battle of the royal court, her wish was just to see Qing Zhan, and she didn't care who the throne belonged to.

"If you have a white devil, you will own the world, don't you understand the meaning of this sentence until now? If you don't understand, it seems that the two battles in Chiyan City and Qing Zhou City that almost cost us our lives have been experienced in vain. Chengfeng scolded sharply, he was really a little angry at Jielan's type of not remembering lessons.

"You mean to say... If you go away with Princess Nanrong, is it very likely that she will be able to be elected king? Jielan hadn't thought about it so much, but when she heard Chengfeng's words, she immediately sobered up.

"Otherwise, how could she be a dignified princess and come to this medicine village to take me back to the court, I am afraid that if I go with her, maybe you will become her hostage and force me to stand by her side." Although Chengfeng is not sure whether Nanrong will do this, he has experienced too many conspiracy battles and has learned to be cautious in everything.

"It's... How can this be, I see that this princess is very kind, and she must not be the kind of person who plays with power. Jielan has not been with this Nanrong for a long time, but looking at her speech and bearing, she is very admirable.

"Until now, do you only recognize things by appearance? Have you forgotten how Yu Qing used to treat you, and the result? Chengfeng roared angrily, making Jielan feel as if she had been slapped hard by him, and her cheeks were hot and uncomfortable. Qi Xue saw that Chengfeng was so angry, and was afraid that Jielan would be wronged, so she walked over, pulled Chengfeng's arm, and persuaded: "Lan is like this because of his kindness, and you don't understand, you said, Lan won't trust a person so easily, why are you so angry?" ”

Chengfeng saw that Jielan was indeed a little sad, and he was also said to be sideways, not daring to look at him, he suddenly felt a little sad in his heart, he knew that Jielan was worried about Qingzhan, so he was in such a hurry to go to the royal court, he sighed, and said, "Haven't you already heard what Princess Nanrong said?" Qing Zhan and Ben haven't returned to the royal court yet, so even if you go, it won't be useful. ”

"I know, but I think that since we went to the royal court before Tan Qi and them, then when Tan Qi and them come back, I can still go to see Qing Zhan, but if Qing Zhan returns to the royal court first, then I can only be arrested, I want to see him, I am afraid that none of the princesses of the king you said will let me see him, and they will only behead me early to pay for the sin of killing Qing Zhan, isn't it?" Jielan thought so carefully, it seemed that in her heart, Qing Zhan would always occupy her entire heart, and she had no energy to think about other things else.

But in a place like Wangcheng, how could she be allowed to act so recklessly, if she did this, she would only die.
