"It's ...... Ziyi's armor?"

After Tang En subconsciously blurted out, Lan Sha's eyes froze, and then he carefully looked at the light purple armor that was a little rebellious in its position.

Salene, who came in and was ordering someone to bring tea, glanced at Tang En in surprise when she heard this, nodded and walked over: "Yes, this is indeed Ziyi armor." ”

Lan Sha muttered: "It turns out that the previous rumors are true...... In the rumors, Zi Yi died after leading his troops to break through the city gate, but his soldiers who were not afraid of death rushed into the main hall of the Northern Wilderness Palace with his body alive, and burned himself to death!

Of course, this is just rumor. Although the attitude of the Northern Wilderness Imperial Family after that is worth playing, they did not deny or cover it up afterwards, which has to make people suspicious. But in any case, they didn't directly admit that this was the truth, so most of the people in the Northern Wilderness still didn't believe this rumor that made them lose face.

"Yes. Salene nodded, looking at the light purple armor, her eyes flashed slightly, the meaning was complicated, but it was easy to cover up after a flash, shook her head and said, "Actually, if it weren't for this rebellion, this armor should have been on its way to Bran by now." ”

"What?" Lan Sha looked stunned.

Tang En also raised his eyebrows in surprise, who is Ziyi? Based on his achievements in the past few decades, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a barbarian executioner. What's more, this time he also played a big game, and directly slapped the faces of all the barbarians up and down the Northern Wilderness. Is that how you can send the relics back? What a noble sentiment is this......

Salene calmly explained, "There is a proposal from the Bran Empire that if we return Ziyi's body, they will release His Highness Tiu and the three thousand captives of the tribe. But Ziyi's body had already been burned clean by the fire. So only in exchange for this armor. ”

"Mother...... Agreed, and no one objected?"

"Of course there will be objections. But the Empress was inclined to agree. After all, it's just a suit of armor. Naturally, it is not as important as the living, not to mention that it also involves His Highness Tiu. ”

Lan Sha's eyes drooped slightly when he heard this, and he bit his lip and muttered, "Is it really just like this......"

That's definitely not the case...... Tang En pursed his lips disdainfully, and said secretly, this is not in line with the universal law of 'lovers are always old'......

Seeing this, Salene's lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but after glancing at Don, she pursed her lips and finally gave up. That's just at this time. A slight sound of footsteps came from behind......

Don was the first to notice, but when he turned his head to look, he couldn't help but be stunned.

This is a woman dressed in black fur, her beautiful and familiar face is indifferent, and there is no additional movement in her every move, but a faint power that is natural is slowly spreading.

This is...... Lansha's sister?

Tang En just glanced at Lan Sha and subconsciously looked at Lan Sha, the two were too similar, whether it was a delicate face, or a faint but confident temperament that calculated everything. If it weren't for the fact that Tang En knew that Lan Sha was not proficient in martial arts, and that he was not wearing this dress today, he would really think that Lan Sha had gone around behind him without making a sound......

But.

"Mother!" Araisha called in surprise as she walked briskly over to the woman. Smiling, he bent down and bowed down to make a salute. "Hehe, okay, just come back. The woman also squinted and chuckled, but obviously this was a person whose reason was greater than emotion, and although she could see the excitement, she just grabbed Lan Sha's arm, and her words were very simple.

No way...... Tang En, who was on the side, looked at the two very similar faces in front of him, and couldn't help but rub his eyebrows in confusion. Nima, Ziyi, Ziyi, I have to say, you are not wronged in the hands of such a woman......

In fact, since he knew the purpose of Zi Yi's coming to the Northern Wilderness, Tang En has always had a gossip conjecture in his heart. That is what kind of woman is it that can make Zi Yi so haunted by her dreams, and she wants to come over to meet her when she is dying? Moreover, she doesn't feel a lot of pressure in front of Zi Yi's demonic face that can anger most women......

Perhaps, only this beautiful woman in front of her, who seems to have been forgotten by the years, and Zi Yi can be called a perfect lover made in heaven and a pair set on earth.

With such emotion, Tang En once again looked at the Lan Sha and the Empress of the Northern Wilderness, who were like sisters in front of him, and finally found the difference between the two.

First of all, the empress is a little taller than Lansha. When you laugh, you can still see faint crow's feet in the corners of your eyes.

Moreover, if you look closely, the temperaments of the two are actually a little different. Although it is the same self-confidence and indifference, full of luxury. But the empress has more sense of majesty than Lan Sha, and the momentum of inadvertently looking at the world is also what Lan Sha lacks. On the contrary, Lansha looks more lively than the empress, and looks full of aura.

After a little greeting, the empress glanced at Tang En on the side, her eyes flashed imperceptibly, and then she said calmly: "Lansha, you go out with Salene for a while, and I will go out with this ......"

"Arthur, Mr. Arthur. Salene said in due course.

Nodding, "I have something to talk about with this Mr. Arthur. ”

"Huh?" Lan Sha looked at Don in surprise when he heard this, and the latter was looking at the empress with a puzzled expression. It stands to reason that Don is also an outsider. So no matter what the situation is, it won't be his turn to contact the empress first.

However, since the empress had already spoken, Lan Sha could only follow Saran out of the main hall first. And I don't know what touched it, Lan Sha's expression was obviously a little thoughtful.

Seeing Lan Sha and the two disappear outside the door of the main hall, Tang En turned his head to meet the empress's somewhat cold gaze, and was speechless for a while.

Tang En was not the only one in the empty hall, and behind the empress were several bloated women carrying something. But no one made a single movement, and it didn't even feel like they were breathing, and there was silence all around.

Half-ringing, Don was the first to break the silence, after all, it was not a matter to be so stiff all the time. He took the initiative to avoid the already somewhat antagonistic gaze, and saluted in a proper manner: "Good morning, Your Majesty...... Well, have you eaten it?"

......

Outside the main hall.

After hesitating and stopping a few times, Lan Sha finally raised his head and looked at Salene firmly: "Aunt Salene, you have followed your mother since you were a child and know everything about your mother, I want to ask you, is your mother ...... with Na Ziyi"

"Did you finally ask......" Sighing, Salene's eyes drooped slightly with a complicated expression, and finally nodded lightly, "Yes." ”

Lan Sha was shocked when he heard this, although he had expected it in his heart, but after he really confirmed it, his heart was still full of turmoil. Pursing his lips, he barely suppressed his chaotic thoughts, "But the mother and father ......" has a father in Lansha's childhood memory, he is a direct descendant of the ruler of the Lion War Tribe. But before Lansha could grow up, his father died of illness.

"It was actually a political marriage that secured royal power...... You've probably heard rumors that the Empress was pregnant when she returned from Bran. ”

"Ah...... Are the rumors and rumors true?"

"Well, there were still some people who knew about this back then, that's why there were rumors...... Your Highness, you have grown up, and it is time for you to know these things...... Although in the end, it is still necessary to conceal it. Shaking her head, Salene didn't seem to want to talk about these things, "You can ask the Empress for details, and she should tell you." ”

After a pause, he took a deep breath and looked serious, "Your Highness Lansha, now I just want to ask you formally - from this moment on, are you ready?"

"Huh?" Arashira looked up blankly, "What preparation?"

Salene frowned: "Naturally, it is a preparation for the next Empress of the Northern Wilderness!"

"What! Woman, Empress?"

"Of course!" Looking at the frightened Lan Sha, Salene nodded solemnly, "Actually, the rumors back then have basically been suppressed, but after Zi Yi made a fuss in front of the Imperial City, this matter will inevitably be brought up again by someone who cares." Therefore, even if His Highness Tiu successfully returns from Bran, he will no longer be able to be the heir to the royal family. And you are different, you are a pure Northern Wilderness person, and now only you can get the support of all the tribes in the Northern Wilderness, and only you are qualified to inherit the royal power!"

"I, I, I...... I can't do it, I can't do it......" kept waving his hands and retreating, Rao was as calm as Lan Sha, and he was also shocked by this series of shocking news, and he was completely confused.

At this time, Salene took a strong step forward with a fierce expression: "Your Highness, you have no choice ......"

"Don't say any more!" Arashi screamed, Lan Sha covered his ears, and subconsciously turned around and ran away.

Salene didn't chase after her, she stood there and watched Lansha's figure running away, and muttered in a low voice, "There is no choice...... Your Highness, don't let down the Empress's hard work......"

......

In the main hall, the simple decoration is completed.

It turned out that the bloated women behind the empress before, what they were carrying was actually a table with a chessboard, and after Ma Li set up the chess pieces and two chairs, Lansha's high-pitched screams also came in at this time.

The empress's eyes darkened slightly when she heard this, and she turned her head to look at the light purple armor in the innermost part of the main hall, and exhaled lightly. Then he waved the women back down, took a few steps, and sat down on a wooden chair.

Raised his head, waved his hand to make an invitation gesture, and looked calm: "Play a game of chess, you lose, you die!"
