Chapter Forty-Nine: Under the Star Luo Pool

Li Zhan's tone was relaxed, but he wasn't joking.

In the end, Lin Wei saluted me goodbye, and Li Zhan gave me a look, which meant: "Let's go." ”

He didn't salute him, but walked behind him with a weak heart, and he saw through me, raised his chin, and motioned for me to come to his side.

I glanced at him, thinking to myself that he should not settle all kinds of old accounts together, right? I have nothing to worry about, but don't be angry with Yunfu. Thinking of this, I looked up and said to him, "Otherwise, I will make up for His Royal Highness the King of the County." ”

Li Zhan also glanced at me and said to the front: "If you want to bow down with me, I still have to think about it." ”

I frowned, realizing that this man was thinking strangely.

From the martial arts training ground in the eastern part of the prince's mansion, through the promenade and around the garden, you are about to board the arch bridge and enter the inner courtyard in the north.

I looked left and right, noting down the guards and sentry along the way.

"Miss Shui is very interested in our Prince's Mansion, if you are interested, I can tell you about it. Li Zhan said beside me.

I blinked, silently conveyed, and let him continue.

"The architectural style is magnificent, strict and cheerful, solemn and not deep. There is no need for deliberate decoration, the building itself has artistic beauty, because art and structure have been highly unified. We just walked on a kilometer promenade, with pavilions on both sides, trees and flowers decorated with trees. The front Xingluo Pond is filled with green water, and the back garden is built around it, which is naturally the most beautiful scenery in the prince's mansion. After Li Zhan finished speaking, he deliberately turned his head to look me up and down.

Li Zhan changed his words and said: "There are many guards in the mansion, especially at night. Miss Shui is in a good mood one day, so she might as well come over and break through. I can pardon you for a chance to be innocent. ”

I looked up and thought about it, but didn't answer.

"Oh, forgot to say. Miss Shui is bright in women's clothes and pretty in men's clothes. Li Zhan said.

He praised me so much, and I looked at him carefully: he was dressed in a black robe with wide sleeves and embroidered edges, he was tall and slender, and he really looked like a black serpent cultivated into a human form.

"Why, you want to praise me too? You don't have to bother, I hear a lot of praise on weekdays. Li Zhan said seriously.

Has anyone complimented your eyes?

Li Zhan glanced at me and continued, "Miss Shui's physique is peculiar. It is really interesting to be able to compete with the head of our martial arts field for weapons, and to play no less than our Lin sect leader. ”

"Lin Wei can easily not compete with others. Li Zhanfeng added lightly.

"I'm so honored. I replied.

"It's not an honor, I'm inviting you to dinner, it's an honor. Li Zhan said.

As he spoke, he was already standing at the highest and middle of the arch bridge. The scenery of Xingluo Pond is unobstructed.

"Since Miss Shui's surname is Shui, I don't know if water is good?" asked Li Zhan.

Although Li Zhan is a guess, I am convinced of this.

"King Huairen asked, presumably you have excellent water quality, and you want to compete with me?" I asked rhetorically.

Li Zhan stopped suddenly, turned his head, and said something I didn't expect: "The proposal is good." ”

His speed was so fast that I only had time to take a deep breath of air before I sank deep into the Star Luo Pool with him.

The world fell silent, the swimming fish scattered as if they had fled, and a huge old turtle floated slowly towards me. Li Zhan's hand was still pressing my arms hard, and soon, the old turtle turned into a place above my head that was out of reach. The pressure in my chest was getting stronger, and I couldn't hold back, and I exhaled.

Li Zhan saw my performance, which he found interesting, he let go of his hand, raised his chin, and motioned for me to swim up myself. I rolled my eyes countless times in my mind, remembering that Yew-sama had told me that I could float to the surface if I didn't move with my arms open in the water.

So I opened my arms and closed my eyes, but I didn't expect that balance was not so easy. I looked at the water, but I was getting farther and farther away from it. Could it be that the crow's beak of the ruthless sword is still in effect?

Li Zhan's water nature looks very good, he is holding his arms, not far from me, staring at my eyes, still exploring. He wouldn't, he wanted to bring out the secret of the snow wolf in me, right?

Although Xingluochi is not a post at ten paces or a sentry at fifty paces, there is a guard every 100 meters. Li Zhan and I didn't move much into the water, but we couldn't escape the sight of the guards. Why, haven't seen them in the water yet?

While thinking about it, a flash of inspiration occurred in my mind, and I guessed that Li Zhan would not give me my life in vain, so it was better to try him too.

I paddled hard, swam in front of Li Zhan, and instantly reached out and grabbed his neck. His head tilted, easily dodging my attack. But I didn't have that purpose, and while he was dodging, I wrapped my untied belt around his waist and tied us both together, and tied it in a dead knot.

He calmly watched my movements, did not resist, and waited for my next move.

I smiled at him, exhaled the qi in my chest, and used my internal strength to carry him into the depths of the Star Luo Pool.

Sinking rapidly in the water, unfortunately, this is my specialty, but I didn't expect to turn this disadvantage into an advantage today. If you hadn't entered the water, you wouldn't have known that Xingluo Pool was so deep. The bottom of the pool is dimly lit, maybe I am hallucinating due to lack of oxygen, how do I think there is a pavilion looming at the bottom of the pool?

The pressure is already overwhelming. Li Zhan faced a difficult problem, that is, how to let go of me, who had no surfacing qi in my body. This time, I grabbed him by the shoulders and stared at him with blinking. There were waves in Li Zhan's pale pupils, but they were not the flames I wanted to see. My strength grew weaker and weaker, and with each blink of my eyes, my vision became more blurry.

Before I lost consciousness, I noticed that his pale pupils were getting deeper and closer, and he was getting closer and closer to me. Unfortunately, I didn't have a chance to confirm.

The double-opened wooden door, pushed open, the garden is full of woody flowers and vines.

"Did you say that?" someone asked.

"Say what?" I asked.

"You didn't leave, so you naturally went to say it. The man said.

"Why are you lost?" the man asked again.

I didn't answer.

"If you can't figure it out after all, go to her and make it clear. The man said.

"I didn't know what to say. "I'll reply.

"A promise, a promise about the future. The man said

I spread out my right hand, and a woody flower was gently delivered to my hand, but it disappeared as soon as it fell.

Coughing violently, the inner wall of the throat and lungs are about to burst.

The sun was dazzling, and it took me a few times to open my eyes. I was lying under the willow tree on the bank of Xingluo Pond, and Li Zhan stood aside, looking down on me from above. My belt was cut and I lay aside. Strangely, there were no guards, and there were no traces of water on the ground that proved they had come.

Li Zhan is in the Prince's Mansion, very unpopular?

If it weren't for the help of the guards, what would my belt have been cut off? Sure enough, everybody has a close-fitting dagger?

"It seems that the quality of the water has nothing to do with the surname, and I finally found out today. Li Zhan said lightly.

I gasped a few times to straighten out my breath. Raise your left hand to him: "Trouble His Royal Highness the King of the County to pull me up." ”

Li Zhan's face was expressionless, he stretched out his left hand, held my hand tightly, and pulled me up from the ground.

"Thank you, King Huairenjun, if it weren't for you, I would definitely drown under the water. But you dragged me into the water, so I won't thank you any more. I said.

Li Zhan thought about it, thought for a while and replied to me: "Although this is your proposal, I am the king of the county, so I have to be magnificent." In a moment, I'll give you one more coat. ”

Before he could finish speaking, the pool of water from my hair was already dripping from my forehead. The clothes have been soaked in water, like a thousand pounds of extra weight, even without a belt, it is very slim.

"Then thank you to King Huairenjun. I replied to him with a blank face.

"You're welcome. He answered smoothly.

Li Zhan was just about to step forward, but he looked down at me, his pale pupils were like the eyes of a poisonous snake, and he said, "If I'm not mistaken, just now under the water, someone seems to want to murder the county king?"

"How is this possible, you must be misremembered. I was open in my heart and answered more confidently.

Li Zhan stretched out his finger and stroked his lips, and said meaningfully: "It turns out that I remembered it wrong, then probably another thing, I also remembered wrong." ”

I frowned, and was about to ask, but he turned and walked forward.

I had no choice but to keep up, and while walking, I slightly sorted out my scattered long hair.

"Don't tidy up, I forgive you for the sins of unruly manners such as casual clothing and discrete hair. And, you are like this, good-looking. Li Zhan didn't look at me, but said to me.

I smiled and said, "You don't have to fix your hair, this way, it's good-looking." ”

Li Zhan's hairband was also scattered in the water, and at this time, his long hair poured like a waterfall, and he said in good conscience that he looked much better than me.

"I usually hear a lot of compliments, but it doesn't sound bad that you praise me so much. ”

"Strange, Your Royal Highness, where have all the guards of your Prince's Mansion gone, why have they all disappeared all of a sudden?" I asked curiously.

Li Zhan rarely didn't reply to me.

In this way, the two of us dragged all the water droplets behind us to Li Zhan's courtyard: Zhanqing Courtyard.

Li Zhan led me directly to the guest room, and to my surprise: the hot water was ready, and the maid was ready.

The maid was properly mannered, but silent.

"King Huairen sent someone back in advance, saying to prepare hot water?" I asked.

The maid nodded.

"In such a short period of time, you have so much hot water in your yard for the two of us?" I asked again.

The maid shook her head.

"You won't give me all the hot water, will you?" I asked again.

The maid nodded.

When the hot bath was almost complete, I heard a knock at the door, and then another maid walked in, holding a new dress in her hand. She looked at me, gave her new clothes to the previous maid, and bowed and left.

Is Zhanqing Courtyard so quiet?

Wearing new clothes, women's clothing, and material styles are all of the best, but it's a pity that they are one size bigger and dressed like a drama robe.

My hair was dried, and the maid helped me tie a girl's bun that was quite popular in the palace. Looking in the mirror, there is a feeling of being reborn and rejuvenated after death.

When everything was ready, the maid looked up at me, and then led me to the pavilion where I had lunch.

Li Zhan changed into another style of black clothes and sat in the pavilion, very quiet.

The maid withdrew from a distance, and I walked alone.

Since there was no one around, red tape was avoided, and I was about to wink at Li Zhan and point to my stool with my eyes. He spoke first: "Sit down." ”

"Then thank you for your hospitality. "Sure enough, my stomach was shriveled, and it was time for lunch.

After eating, Li Zhan said to me: "The size of the clothes is okay, it seems that your luck is good." ”

"The hairstyle is also good, thank you, Your Royal Highness. ”

"The afternoon sun is shining, the flowers are red and the leaves are green, and the scenery of Xingluo Pond is even more pleasant. Why don't you go and walk along the edge of the pool again?" Li Zhan proposed.

"I understand His Royal Highness's suggestion, I am still a little afraid, and I need to slow down. I replied.

"It's a pity that such a soft and warm sun will get hot in a few days. Li Zhan said regretfully.

Li Zhan and I were chatting in the garden in the courtyard, and suddenly we were greeted by an old monk who was plainly dressed and had a kind face. Isn't this a bullet and a monk Wuji?

"King of Huairenjun. Hey, it's you, this little girl, we met again. I wonder if the little girl who was smuggled away by you that day is okay now?" said Monk Wuji.
