Chapter 164: The Prince's Love
Li Bingjunchen and the three of them stayed in Xianxia Villa for ten days.
After Xiahou Ninghan's careful care, the body of the Saint Tang Prince gradually recovered.
Li Bing's body has not been strong since he was a child, and he can play polo on weekdays, but after all, he has not been tempered by strong winds and waves, and his foundation is weak, so the previous terrifying experience of escaping death definitely exceeded the limit for him, and he almost didn't survive.
Like Murong Xue and Shan Tingxian, who quickly returned to a state of vitality, it was unimaginable for him.
However, fortunately, as a dignified crown prince, Li Bingyi came to stretch out his hand to eat and open his mouth, and there were people everywhere to serve him, and there was nothing he needed to work on, so it was okay to be still weak.
During this period of physical recuperation, Li Bing also encountered another problem: he found that he seemed to be in love with someone else, and the object of his affection was the owner of Xianxia Villa, Xiahou Ninghan.
He said "as if" because he wasn't sure what that feeling was "love".
Although Li Bing has had the noble status of the Prince of the Holy Tang Dynasty since he was born. However, under the wing of the emperor's uncle Li Chengwu, Li Bing felt that his life was not as free and free as outsiders imagined.
On the contrary, the emperor's uncle and emperor's discipline and treatment of him were almost harsh.
Especially in terms of women, if you look at it carefully, don't say that compared with those princes born by Li Chengwu, even the foreign royal family, Li Bing is far inferior.
Several of Li Chengwu's own sons opened a government office early, married wives and concubines. Especially the energetic Li Kui, who has a group of wives and concubines, and the children can ride horses, shoot arrows, and play soy sauce.
But what about him? A dignified crown prince, not to mention the crown princess, so far he doesn't even have a side concubine.
Because of this, Li Bing is still like a chick about men and women, and he is a little ignorant.
He didn't know what true love was.
Qingqing Zijin, leisurely my heart. Qingqingzi Pei, I think about it. Not seen for a day, like March.
Is it about love?
Anyway, Li Bing is now not seeing Xiahou Ninghan for a day, and he feels that it has been more than three months.
Xiahou Ninghan's smile, every move, were deeply imprinted in his mind and lingered. Of course, he didn't want to wave it away. What's even more divine is that Xiahou Ninghan has a special faint fragrance on his body, which especially makes Li Bing toss and turn, which is unforgettable.
Li Bing's emotions have not been told to anyone, and of course he dare not tell Xiahou Ninghan. This woman has an indescribable cold and arrogant temperament, and sometimes even Li Bing, who is the crown prince, feels ashamed of herself in front of her.
At the same time, Li Bing also vaguely felt that although Xiahou Ninghan was polite and thoughtful to him, he was always a little bland and distant. On the contrary, he always smiled at Murong Xue, and his speech was extremely cordial and casual.
Li Bing had heard Murong Xue introduce that Xiahou Ninghan's father and the old lady Fu Nian Jinsong were old friends, because of this, he and Xiahou Ninghan were brothers and sisters, so they naturally seemed closer.
Logically speaking, this can indeed be explained and understood. However, whenever he saw Xiahou Ninghan and Murong Xue talking and laughing, Li Bing still felt sour and uncomfortable in his heart.
There were no others present several times, and Li Bingdu almost wanted to warn Murong Xue: You tell Lao Tzu to stay away from Xiahou Ninghan!
However, when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back stiffly.
This may also be a proof that he is in love with her.
On this day, taking advantage of the warm sunny day, Xiahou Ninghan proposed to invite Li Bing to take a walk in the garden. Breathing in the fragrance of flowers and basking in the sun for a while is good for physical healing.
Li Bing hesitated for a long time, then plucked up his courage and said, "Then you can go with me." ”
Xiahou Ning Han was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then smiled lightly: "Since Li Gongzi invited, Ning Han will accompany him." ”
After saying that, she bowed her head and asked the maid next to her to step forward to support Li Bing.
Li Bing turned his heart sideways, deliberately ignoring the maid nearby, and instead stretched out his hand towards Xiahou Ninghan.
Looking at Li Bing's slightly abrupt and rude behavior, as well as the slightly panicked but expectant look on her face, Xiahou Ninghan seemed to notice something, she pursed her lips and smiled gently, and then generously raised her jade hand and helped Li Bing to get up slowly.
The two walked side by side and walked slowly to the garden behind the villa.
Li Bing secretly adjusted his breathing and heartbeat as he walked, for fear that Xiahou Ninghan, who was close at hand, would find out how nervous and excited he was at the moment.
He pointed to a chrysanthemum nursery not far away, and was speechless: "I have loved chrysanthemums the most since I was a child. Picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, leisurely see the South Mountain. That far-reaching artistic conception is really fascinating. ”
Xiahou Ninghan bowed his head slightly, and responded softly: "My father often said, Meilan Zhuju, the four gentlemen." Mei symbolizes the pride of a gentleman, a proud body, and a noble man. And the chrysanthemum is the light of a gentleman, elegant and elegant, maverick, like a hermit. Childe likes chrysanthemums, and he must always have the feeling of 'independence and self-improvement' in his heart. ”
Li Bing listened to her exquisite comments, and when she was talking about her own thoughts, she couldn't help but admire: "The girl's family history is really extraordinary." If I'm correct, do you prefer plum blossoms? ”
Xiahou Ninghan only nodded slightly and did not speak.
Li Bing sighed in his heart: Oh, I like Ju, she likes Mei. The flower of the gentleman echoes each other, what a match and how beautiful a pair it is.
Xiahou Ninghan didn't know what Li Bing was thinking, so he walked with him silently for a while, and saw that Li Bing's forehead was slightly sweaty, so he took a pair of silver fox cloak from the maid behind him, spread it on the rockery stone, and asked Li Bing to sit down and rest for a while.
Li Bing obediently turned around and sat down, then patted the empty space next to him, and said with a smile: "You can sit too." I looked up at you like this, and my neck was a little sore. ”
Xiahou Ninghan smiled, moved the lotus step lightly, and sat on the stone next to Li Bing.
Li Bing felt that his arm seemed to touch Xiahou Ninghan's fragrant shoulder, and his indisputable heart began to beat suddenly again.
After Xiahou Ninghan sat down, he didn't speak again, but quietly looked into the distance, distracted.
For a while, Li Bing also felt a little unsure of where to start, so he had to accompany her in a daze.
After a while, Li Bing felt that he was sitting like this, and the atmosphere was really a little awkward, so he planned to find some words again to break the silence in front of him, but at this time, Murong Xue, Shan Tingxian, and Miss Yufeng suddenly hurried towards this side from outside.
Far away, Shan Tingxian shouted at the top of his throat: "Son, sect master, the enemy is coming!" ”
Li Bing was taken aback when he heard this, and subconsciously wanted to stand up immediately, but after thinking about it, Xiahou Ninghan was still sitting next to him, and he couldn't act panicked in front of the beauty anyway, so he stiffened himself to stabilize his body and turned his head to look at Xiahou Ninghan.
Xiahou Ninghan was still calm and relaxed, and he didn't even move, until Murong Xue and the three of them walked up, and then asked unhurriedly, "Who are the people here?" How many? ”
Yu Feng, who was carrying a long sword, waved his hand and replied loudly: "Back to the sect master, there are about two or three hundred people on the other side, and there is no clear identity mark in the clothes, let alone a banner. However, judging by their demeanor, those people are not like gangs or bandits on the rivers and lakes, but more like soldiers. ”
"Soldiers?" Xiahou nodded thoughtfully: "It seems to be similar to what I expected." Where are they now? ”
Murong Xue said in a deep voice: "Ning Han, when the sentry on your village found them, the other party had already approached the gate, which means that those people were sneaking here." At this moment they were all blocked outside the gate, clamoring for the owner to go out and answer. Shan Tingxian and I estimate that there may be people from all over the back mountain, and most of us are surrounded. ”
Shan Tingxian continued: "Those guys haven't rushed in directly at this time, I'm afraid they want to find out the truth in Xianxia Villa first, and then make plans." Sect Master Xiahou, I don't know what your strength is, whether you can withstand the strong attack of hundreds of people, but once the two sides get into a scuffle, the casualties will definitely not be small! Do you think let's escort Childe to evacuate first? ”
Xiahou Ninghan slowly got up and said calmly: "You also guessed just now that there may also be people from the other side on the back mountain, and if you break out rashly, it will be even more dangerous." What's more, with Li Gongzi's current state, he can't stand the toss at all, otherwise he won't have to make a move from others, he himself will have to whine and lament first. Since the other side has no signs of attacking immediately, then we can try our best to deal with it, as long as the strategy is right, it is not impossible to turn the crisis into safety. ”
Murong Xue glanced at Li Bing with a little worry, and then bowed slightly: "Ning Han does make sense. There are two most important points at the moment, one is to ensure that Childe is not coerced into a fierce battle, and the other is to find out the true situation of the other party as soon as possible. Only after solving these two problems can we be qualified to talk about the strategy of retreating from the enemy. ”
Yu Feng said on the side: "Although there are not many people in our village, the martial arts have been personally trained by the two sect masters, so the combat power is not weak. The old sect master had also laid out the Qimen formation in the mountain villa at the beginning, and the tortuous and complicated path alone could delay the enemy's hard break. As long as Li Gongzi doesn't go out, he won't encounter danger in a short time. ”
Shan Tingxian was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "This is very good! Childe is not involved in danger, let's let go and find out the enemy's situation, and then block the enemy, or ask for help, we can always come up with a countermeasure! ”
Xiahou Ninghan saw that Murong Xue and Shan Tingxian both agreed with his idea, so he turned his head and instructed the maid next to him: "Qi'er, you first help Li Gongzi to rest in the secret room of the study, no matter what happens outside, you don't come out without my instructions." Murong Xue, I'll go ahead with you to take a look, what is the number of people who dare to come to my Xianxia Mountain Villa to spread wild? ”
