Chapter Seventy-Two: Distinguished Guest
Cang Tao was not angry, he looked at Lin Yu in a new way.
In her previous life, she was an outsider, and in the territory of Cangtao, she had always taken the initiative to approach him and show favor to him. Of course, she also has her temper throws at times, but everything about her is under Cangtao's control, she relies on him to live, even if she is angry, it is weak and makes Cangtao feel pity.
But this time, Cangtao is the outsider.
He invaded her territory.
Da Tu is a battlefield she is familiar with.
Now he was approaching her, and she stood there for a long time, critical of his head-to-toe scrutiny.
It felt strange and certainly unpleasant.
He was full of sincerity, but he was coldly pushed away, and she erected a high wall in front of her, not allowing him to cross it at will.
Cangtao carefully analyzed Lin Yu's attitude.
She is determined, tough, refuses to submit, and even wants to compete with him for dominance.
Who gave her such confidence?
Her family background? Da Tu was the crown prince's favor for her? Or is it the so-called "deep" relationship between her and the eldest son of the Li family?
He is close to her, but she sees his affection as an exchange of interests.
Before getting angry, Cangtao suddenly thought of himself.
When he first came into contact with Lin Yu in his previous life, he always thought that the so-called princess of Heqin was not just a fair and honest work?
All her overtures are just the mission given to her by Datu, not from sincerity, but for the exchange of interests.
He was prejudiced against her, and occasionally on a whim, he was enthusiastic and active towards her, and occasionally in a bad mood, he pushed her away and teased Lin Yu as a toy.
Every time he succeeded in making her look dazed, he would laugh happily.
You'll never want to guess what I'm thinking.
You'll never try to tame me.
Thinking of his arrogant and immature behavior at that time, even King Beirong, who thought he was not thin-skinned, couldn't help but cover his face.
So what he feels now is not the pain that Ah Yu once felt in his previous life?
As long as she thinks that she gave it, even if it is painful, there seems to be no other way than to accept it silently and grit your teeth and endure it.
What's more, what she gave him now is exactly the same as what he gave her back then, and that kind of confrontation across time and space makes Cang Tao feel that the connection between the two is closer.
As said in the myth of Beijung, the children born to the gods were both male and female, because they were too perfect, so they gave birth to rebellious thoughts, and were punished by the gods and split into male and female, in order to return to perfection, men and women looked for a way to reunite, and then they became husband and wife.
Therefore, husband and wife share the same soul and the same body.
Cang Tao thought, if he could fully feel what Ah Yu had felt, then their emotions, thoughts, and souls, at this moment of synchronization, would they be able to merge more deeply than all the previous couples?
Bone of my bones, flesh of flesh.
He whispered a prayer in Beijung.
Lin Yu understood what he was saying, "I will be one step closer to God today, because I have found half of my body." β
Lin Yu felt that he still didn't want him to know that he could understand Beirong's words, so he looked at Cangtao with a puzzled look.
Cangtao did not explain.
He looked at Lin Yu and smiled.
In that case, anything is acceptable.
It's funny.
He thought, it turns out that Ah Yu still has such an unattainable side.
It's also interesting to see her differently.
"I'll protect you, and in return, I just need you to answer me a question."
"What's the problem?"
"I heard you sing that song before, who is your old friend? Who was the person you still lived in your heart back then? β
Lin Yu simply said, "Your Excellency heard it wrong. β
"Did I hear me wrong?"
"Yes, Your Excellency is a stranger after all, and I am afraid that I am not familiar with Datu's words and have misheard the words."
Cang Tao bent his eyes and followed her nonsense: "What is the correct lyric?" β
"It doesn't matter, as long as the song is good, the lyrics of the tune can be written in order to make up the rhyme."
Seeing that she didn't let go of her mouth, Cang Tao thought to herself, at least she didn't want to make up a reason to fool me, didn't she want to deceive me?
"Okay, just because I heard it wrong." He thought to himself, I'll let you go for the time being, "But what did you mean by calling the servant to call the prince over just now?" You're going to let me assassinate him here? β
Lin Yu looked at him in astonishment.
"What? Isn't it? Okay," Cangtao shrugged his shoulders innocently: "I'm just kidding." β
"The crown prince has been pursuing Tang Chun's case, so I want to ask him what he knows."
"So can I reveal my identity in front of him?"
"It's better not to."
"But my appearance is very conspicuous."
"So...... You don't want to be seen by him. β
Cang Tao looked at Lin Yu.
"I think the beam you stayed in before was pretty good."
"I am the king, and that fellow is but the king's son, why should he sit down and hide on the beam?"
"He is not the son of the king, but the son of the emperor."
"The emperor's son is not even a king, so he is even worse than me."
Lin Yu was silent for a moment.
The prince's brother is the prince, is the prince a king? So is the crown prince a king?
She was almost taken away by Cangtao's logic, and quickly came back to her senses and refused to waste any more time thinking.
Lin Yu persuaded: "But you are on the beam, on his head, how many people in this world can ride on the prince's head?" β
"You owe me once, I'll hide it."
"Why?"
"I promised to protect you, but it's another thing to let me hide and protect you. This is about the dignity and pride of the king of Beirong! β
Lin Yu sighed: "Then what do you want?" β
"I just need you to answer one question."
"What's the problem?"
"If Prince Da Tu and the eldest son of the Li family fall into the water at the same time, who will you save first?"
Lin Yu: "......"
She: "I'll call someone." I can't swim. β
"Then if they all fall into quicksand, who will you save first?"
"You just need me to answer one question, this is the second one."
"Ah Yu!"
"You said you wouldn't call me that again, King Beijung!"
"Tsk." Cangtao stood up and said reluctantly: "Okay, you win." β
He stepped lightly on the chair and jumped over the beam.
Every time he saw this kind of person with martial arts flying up and down the wall, going up to the sky and into the ground, Lin Yu felt amazing.
She looked up at the beam for a while, Cangtao poked out her face and smiled at her, "What? Want to come up and stay with me? β
Lin Yu asked, "You really won't hurt Zhu Rongzhan, right?" β
"Assassinate him? I'm not stupid, and I won't do things that hurt others and don't benefit myself. Cangtao said, "Unlessβ"
"Unless?"
"Unless," he lowered, like a demonic whisper, "you asked me to do it." As long as you ask, even if it is the emperor of Da Tu, I can kill it for you. β
Lin Yu frowned and thought, Cangtao wouldn't be ambitious, thinking about going south to invade Datu, right? It wouldn't be strange if he really had this thought, but why should he put the reason on her?
The name of the demon concubine is enough to get it once.
She said coldly: "I can't afford such a big crime. β
At that moment, the sound of a horse-drawn carriage approaching came from the open window.
Lin Yu got up and looked out the window, it was the carriage of the Lin Mansion that had returned.
Chunhua was driven out, and at this moment he was sitting on Lin Yun's left side with a nervous expression, and on his right side, there was a one-armed guard, who was Yan Yan, the guard of the East Palace.
In that case, the carriage should have been filled with distinguished guests.
