Chapter 140: Shangguan Wan's decision
Everyone turned their heads to see who dared to intervene on such an important occasion.
In his eyes, what appeared at the gate of the palace was a man wearing a black and white robe and a yin-yang fish mask, holding a box in both hands, and slowly walked into the main hall.
Although there were princes from all walks of life sitting around, the man's pace was still steady, as if he was strolling leisurely.
"Who is this man?"
Looking at the people who suddenly appeared, all the kings looked at each other with suspicion.
Even, even Shangguan Wan next to the throne had a flash of doubt in her eyes, obviously, she didn't know this person, let alone how this person passed through the palace ban and came here.
"You are?" Shangguan Wan's eyes shrank and asked softly.
In the face of this person of unknown origin, she was not angry because this person interfered with the banquet, on the contrary, she knew that if she could get here, this person must have something extraordinary, so her tone seemed very cautious and peaceful.
The visitor didn't speak, until he came to the middle of the main hall, then he raised the box above his head with both hands, bowed slightly to Shangguan Wan and said: "Wilderness grass people, the name is not worth mentioning, just for my lord, send a letter to Your Majesty, I hope Your Majesty will read this letter and make a choice." ”
Everyone was originally worried about the unusual origin of this man who suddenly came out, but after listening to this man's words, someone on the spot shouted angrily: "It turns out that he is just a mountain horseman, do you know what the origin of the people standing at today's banquet are?" How dare you disturb the banquet, and see that this king will punish you! ”
As he spoke, a man in a python robe was about to get up and attack.
But in the face of all this. The man in the main hall seemed to be ignorant, still bowing indifferently and motionless.
The people around looked at all this with a smile on their faces, looking like they were sitting and watching a good show.
"Stop!" Seeing that a conflict was about to break out, Shangguan Wan finally spoke out to dissuade him: "King of the Mountain, I said that the person who came today is a guest, and since someone wants to send something to me, I naturally have no reason to refuse it. ”
Chu Shan, the king of the mountains, originally wanted to show himself in front of Shangguan Wan, but now when he saw Shangguan Wan stop him, he naturally accepted it when he saw it, nodded lightly and returned to his seat.
Beckoning gently, Shangguan Wan said in a condensed voice: "Come on, bring the things up." ”
With Shangguan Wan's order, a eunuch walked quickly to the man, took off the box in the man's hand, looked through it carefully several times, and after confirming that there was no danger, he walked quickly to Shangguan Wan with the box in his hand, bowed down and said:
"Your Majesty, the old slave has investigated many times, but there is only one letter in the box, and there is no danger."
Nodding, Shangguan Wan opened the box, and then gently placed the letter in the box on top of the dragon case and read it carefully.
But just after looking at it twice, Shangguan Wan suddenly frowned, as if something was beyond her expectations.
Then, Shangguan Wan raised her eyes and looked in the direction of Li Luo and Xiao Chen with some surprise.
Everyone also caught Shangguan Wan's sensitive move, and they all looked at the two of them.
Feeling everyone's scrutinizing and hostile gazes, Xiao Chen looked at Li Luo a little uncomfortably, and said in a low voice: "This person, you arranged it?" ”
Taking a deep look at the man in the black and white robe in the hall, Li Luo shook his head and said in a condensed voice: "I don't know!" ”
"Huh?!" Li Luo opened his mouth wide and said, "But I clearly feel that the purpose of this person's coming seems to be related to you and me." ”
Taking a deep breath, Li Luo shook his head and said, "The soldiers are coming, and the water is coming to cover the earth, let's be calm and don't be impatient, let's take one step at a time." ”
On the throne, Shangguan Wan finally read all the contents of the letter, and then took the letter into her arms with great care.
This detail made everyone present contemplative, and the letter that could make an emperor treat it so carefully is enough to show that it is not ordinary. Even with it, the eyes of everyone looking at the man who delivered the letter in the hall also changed.
Almost everyone present was wondering who the messenger was and what his purpose was......
On the throne, Shangguan Wan's slender fingers tapped slowly on the dragon case, and her face showed a heavy color, as if she was thinking about something.
After a while, Shangguan Wan finally made a decision, and said loudly: "I hereby announce that the concubine who recruited relatives this time is the king of Huainan of Xia Kingdom, Li Luo!" ”
"Wow!" Shangguan Wan's decision was like dropping a huge stone on the calm water, and the entire hall exploded in an instant, although Li Luo was a young talent, when it came to gifts and the conditions for agreeing to Qianguo, anyone present would be able to crush the former.
In addition, Li Luo's father Li Kang still died at the hands of Qianguo, in this case, Shangguan Wan's decision to marry Li Luo was undoubtedly much beyond everyone's expectations.
Even the person concerned, Li Luo, was shocked at this time.
Xiao Chen, who was on the side, grinned and smirked: "Hey, it's okay now, Li Luo, you are a concubine, I have the capital to brag with others when I go back, my Xiao Chen's ally Li Luo, swept the kings in the palace of Qianguo, and finally became a concubine, how face-saving is this?!" ”
Li Luo came back to his senses, smiled bitterly, looked at Xiao Chen and said, "Okay, then you may have to do it first, my ally is being hunted down, and your preparation will be affected......"
The smile on Xiao Chen's face stopped abruptly, and he felt everyone's eyes gradually become cold, and he couldn't help but shudder violently......
In the main hall, the corners of the messenger's mouth under the mask were slightly raised, and he seemed to be very satisfied with this result.
He bowed to Shangguan again, and the man said, "The letter has been delivered, and I will say goodbye." ”
Without waiting for Shangguan Wan's reply, the man's voice fell, and he turned to leave, and everyone present looked pensive, but no one dared to say more.
It wasn't until the man's back gradually disappeared at the gate of the palace that Shangguan Wan let out a long sigh of relief, waved his hand a little tiredly, and said: "Today's banquet has ended, if you are willing to play in my Qianguo, all expenses are responsible for my Qianguo, if you want to leave, I will also send troops to escort you." ”
"Everyone, disperse!"
In the face of this change, although everyone was puzzled, it was not easy to attack in the palace of Qianguo, so they could only leave silently in turn.
It's just that many people looked at Li Luo when they left, and they already had Sen Ran's killing intention.
As the concubine of the Qianguo Kingdom, Li Luo was naturally not among the departing people, and Xiao Chen and Leng Changfeng, as Li Luo's friends, were naturally accompanied by them.
When everyone in the hall was empty, Shangguan Wan looked at Li Luo in some surprise and said:
"Lord Li, I didn't expect you to be so handy!"
Although he didn't quite understand the meaning of Shangguan's words, Li Luo still smiled faintly: "Me! Always! ”
