Chapter 351
It was February and the weather was still cold.
Especially in the early morning, it was even more chilling.
As the day dawned, there was already a line of people waiting outside the South City Gate.
At the head of the line was a man with a pale face, looking like he was in his thirties, wearing a moonlight-white tunic and a fox fur cloak.
But even so, he was shivering in the cold wind.
From time to time, he also coughed twice, put his hands on his heels and rubbed them together, raising his eyes to look out, obviously waiting for something.
“Duke.”
The voice of a subordinate came from his side.
A water bladder filled with hot water was delivered to him:
“Your body is weak, why do you bother to come and wait at this time?”
The man seemed to be startled by the voice for a moment, and after he came back to his senses, he then smiled and smoothly took the water sac, the warmth of the sensation causing him to pant slightly.
Then laughed:
“How would it be if I didn’t come earlier, if I had missed it.
“I always have to tell her to know that I hold her in my heart.”
The boy at his side sighed at his words:
“I also don’t know if the eldest princess can understand your heart, gongzi ……”
“These words …… are still not nonsense.”
That man’s complexion time was a bit gloomy, gently sighed:
“Her identity is special after all, looking at this capital, how many people tend to her? And how many people …… avoid it like a snake scorpion?
“I also just ……”
“Gongzi, I thought you are just too careful.
“The matter of men and women should have been open-minded, let go of the fight may be another gain.
“You have been so many years, obviously talented and learned, but you have never been in the civil service.
“His Lordship knows your heart, and has never urged.
“But I know that His Lordship’s heart is also anxious ……
“With your ability, if it is to enter the civil service, has long been green clouds.
“If …… you have also long been a horse harnessed by the side of a team.
“But now both are nothing, and then go on, I am afraid you do not want to enter the service, but also have to enter the service.”
The boy rambled, but called the man once again fell into silence.
Just murmured:
“I heard that her journey back this way was quite arduous.
“Good thing there are many Jianghu heroes escorted on the side ……
“Had I known that, I probably should have practiced martial arts diligently.”
“You’ve been weak since childhood, it’s difficult for you to succeed in learning martial arts.”
The boy was straight-talking on the side.
The corners of the man’s mouth twitched twice, and he finally sighed.
Turning around, the subordinate beside him had already set up a small table with hot tea on it.
He sat down and picked up the teacup and took a sip, feeling his chest heat up slightly:
“She used to be in the capital most of the time.
“But since the creation of the Sword Execution Division, she rarely stays in the capital ……
“All that comes and goes is the jianghu.
“If I had a martial arts skill, wouldn’t I also be able to be by her side and share her worries?”
The lips of the boy at the side opened and closed, as if he had something to say, but in the end, he swallowed it back.
Just whispered a reminder:
“The master said, entering the civil service is the right path ……”
“You shut up.”
The man sighed:
“After all is said and done, not a single word falls on deaf ears.”
“…… The words of advice are against the ear.”
“Teaching you to read is for you to understand right and wrong, good and evil, not for you to gaslight your own son.”
That boy smacked his lips, was considering how this sentence should be refuted.
Then suddenly looked out into the distance:
“Gongzi, it seems like someone is coming.”
The man, who had already sat down to drink tea, immediately stood up and hurriedly looked up into the distance.
Sure enough, he saw a group of people slowly coming.
In the front were fast horses, and in the back were carriages.
There weren’t a few fast horses, and there was only one carriage.
At that time, the distance was still far away, and it was only after a few moments that the people in their group saw that on the first two horses sat a man and a woman.
Male appearance handsome, waist with a sword, holding a wine gourd, from time to time on the drink two mouth.
And the woman next to him …… is not the eldest princess?
It is just that the eldest princess is now saying something to the man, and she is talking excitedly and somewhat excitedly, while the man is nodding his head from time to time and laughing lightly from time to time.
Seems to be her words in the heart, but also seems to be not how to enter the ear.
The man waiting here suddenly felt that the water bag in his hand was already cold.
At this time, this line of people was about to pass by him, and the eldest princess did not even look at him from beginning to end.
He panicked and handed the water bottle to the boy beside him.
Shouting loudly:
“Eldest Princess!!!”
“Hm?”
When the Eldest Princess heard the voice, she then reined in her horse and turned her head to take a look:
“So it’s Yu Wen Ting, you’re in good spirits, out trekking early in the morning?”
“……”
Yu Wenting was speechless for a moment, with this body of his, going out early in the morning to trek on the green, that was looking for death.
Have the heart to say, I am here to wait for you ……
But can not say.
Tossed for a long time, made a big red face, the result is a word can not pop out.
A side of the boy was able to speak will say, this will also do not know what to say.
Just listen to the Princess laughed:
“Well, you guys continue to play, I have friends over here.
“And went into the city first.
“In a few days, I’ll invite you to drink at my residence again.”
Yu Wentian then heard the eldest princess say to the good-looking man beside her:
“You haven’t had a place to settle down in the capital yet, right, so just stay in my Princess Mansion for the time being.”
“I’ve heard that places like the Princess’ Mansion have face heads raised inside ……”
Yu Wenting finally heard the man open his mouth, just this one sentence called Yu Wenting’s face blue.
This is fucking human words?
Just when he was waiting for the eldest princess to burst into a rage, he heard the eldest princess laugh out loud:
“What kind of wild history and miscellany did you seem to have gotten that from?
“However, this is not a strange thing, it’s just that this princess has always been clean and is not interested in this.
“But if it’s you …… this palace wouldn’t mind letting you be my guest of honor.”
Yu Wenting’s eyes snapped round.
What kind of words were these?
How could the Eldest Princess that one adored in one’s heart be flirting with a man like this?
Still wanting to hear more, this line of people had already drifted away.
Only, that a man and a woman’s laughter still from time to time into the ears, called Yuwen Ting heart is like a knife churning.
Gnashing his teeth, he opened his mouth and asked:
“Who …… is that person?”
“His surname Jiang name Ran, Jianghu called the amazing god knife ……”
The boy spoke softly on the side:
“My lord, this person’s martial arts skills are overwhelming at a young age, looking at the four seas of the jianghu, there are almost no opponents.”
The angry color on Yu Wenting’s face then faded like a tidal wave.
After a long time, he gently closed his eyes:
“Go back.”
“Yes.”
The boy didn’t dare to say much this time, instructing the people behind him to pack up their things, and then looking up, his own son had already walked towards the city gates.
Immediately hurried to follow.
……
……
“I guess that person in the square is specially waiting for you there.”
After entering the city, without having seen much of the city’s bustle, Jiang Ran looked to the Eldest Princess by his side.
The Eldest Princess gently nodded her head and said with a smile:
“That’s right.”
“He doesn’t look well.”
“That’s also right, he has been weak since he was a child, and even up to the present day, he has never left his mouth without medicine.”
“The weather is very cold nowadays.”
“Well, with a body like his, coming out to greet at this time of the year is actually hard for him.”
One-on-one answer to this, Jiang Ran looked at the eldest princess with a smile:
“Then the princess is intending to deliberately infuriate him?”
“That’s also true.”
The Eldest Princess surprisingly nodded:
“If I can piss him off alive, it would save me a lot of trouble.”
Jiang Ran raised an eyebrow, then narrowed his eyes:
“The whereabouts of the Eldest Princess has not been revealed to anyone?”
“Hmph, if it was spilled out, then wouldn’t the trick I arranged be a joke?”
The Rapunzel sneered.
“But nowadays, that is indeed a joke.
“It seems that the people around you still have some problems.”
Jiang Ran gently shook his head.
“That’s why this palace said that I don’t have anyone I can trust anymore nowadays.”
The Eldest Princess’ complexion was slightly gloomy.
Jiang Ran then asked again:
“Speaking of which, who is this Yu Wen Ting?”
“He is the son of Yu Wen Plei, the Minister of the Household …… to me, that is ‘deep love’.”
The Rapunzel’s smile was slightly cold:
“Do you know, looking around this large capital, how many people want to marry me?”
Jiang Ran was silent for a moment, then asked:
“Dare I ask the Eldest Princess, within the capital, are there any good and inexpensive inns?”
“There are!”
The Eldest Princess immediately nodded her head:
“I know of one, named Princess Mansion.
“Inside there is a gorgeous house, and the beauty of each courtyard is unique.
“There are even countless maids and servants …… to stay in it, and the clothes come to hand and the food comes to mouth, so it can be called the top guest.
“The most important thing is that to stay in this one inn, no pennies are needed, only the consent of the Palace.”
“…… The things in this world that don’t need money are often the most expensive.”
Jiang Ran sighed:
“The water in this capital city is deep, when I first came here, I already offended the son of the Minister of the Household.
“I now seriously suspect that you are deliberately doing this because you don’t want to return my 87,000 taels of gold.
“So as to tell the Ministry of Households to get stuck with this sum of money.”
“And then?”
The eldest princess looked at Jiang Ran with a smiling face:
“Even if they are stuck for a while, they can’t be stuck for a lifetime, sooner or later, they will give you this sum of money.”
“But during this time, won’t I have to live in your princess residence all the time? And then be seen as a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh by those who want to marry you? Hating that they can’t get rid of you?
“Turn back and I’ll stay for a few more days, and these troubles around you will be cleaned up ……”
Jiang Ran sighed:
“Eldest Princess’s abacus don’t play too loud, the abacus beads are crashing on my face.”
“How do you …… always think of me as having such a deep heart?”
The eldest princess crossed Jiang Ran’s eyes:
“Letting you stay in the Princess’ Mansion is just like trying to harm you.”
“Isn’t it? Princess today took me as a shield …… I said how you suddenly this kind of attentive, ran to me to tell me what the capital city prosperity, recounting the past of this ancient city, the attitude of amicable, and not a mouth a little lecherous …… you this murderous knife, always bloodless The ah.”
“…… amiable? You use this to describe me appropriate?”
The Rapunzel looked at Jiang Ran with wide eyes.
“Is that the point?”
“Then what is the point!?”
“The point is ……”
Jiang Ran let out a light laugh:
“How should I go to the Princess’ Mansion?”
The eldest princess was dumbfounded, and immediately laughed:
“Everyone just follow me.”
The Princess has been in the capital for many years, and is naturally familiar with the roads.
She led Jiang Ran and his party through the city, while Jiang Ran and the others were also considered to have seen the capital’s prosperity.
The avenue is spacious and can accommodate seven or eight horse-drawn carriages.
There were countless vendors along the street, making it very lively.
Tang Yuyi sat on her horse, holding Li Tianxin’s face, but she also turned her eyes from time to time to watch the street jugglers and see the tang in the hands of the children.
Now that it was just over a month after the New Year, there was still red paper scattered on the streets after the firecrackers blew up the year, snow on the eaves, smoke from the people’s homes, and children’s laughter, outlining the undertones of the entire capital.
Of course, in addition to this, there are also many Jianghu people with swords and knives.
And this group of people under the plate is calm and steady, step breathing are all wonderful, there are a lot of temples high bulging hard to cultivate the internal expert.
This made Jiang Ran feel quite emotional.
The capital really deserves to be a place where fish and dragons are mixed, and the experts in the jianghu are also a large number of them.
In just a few moments, the group arrived at a magnificent mansion.
The carriage had just stopped, and Shan Cong could not wait to jump down from the carriage.
Although there were several other living people on the carriage besides himself.
But the thought of Wu Niangzi, who was half-dead right next to her, and was also covered in poisonous insects, on this journey, Shan Cong was also sitting on pins and needles, as if she had a throat, as if she had a mane on her back.
“Little aunt, nephew will not go in …….”
Shan Cong made a bow to the eldest princess and planned to bolt.
“Stand still.”
The Eldest Princess lightly shouted.
Shan Cong could only stand still, eyeing the Elder Princess.
“You have yet to set up a residence, first follow me into the residence, and after changing a set of clothes, then follow me into the palace.”
“…… Yes.”
Shan Cong could only nod his head.
This is all dusty, just like this directly go to face the saint, it is inevitably inappropriate.
There is the suspicion that the gentleman before him is out of place.
In this Rapunzel House a little repair, after bathing and dressing, then go to face the saint, it is reasonable.
At this moment, the guards in front of the Princess’s residence, about finally recognized that their own master had returned.
Immediately, the gate of the Princess’s residence was opened, and all kinds of people greeted them one after another.
Jiang Ran’s side also brought Tang Shixi, Tang Wuyi, Ye Qingshang, Ye Jingxue and many other people to get off the carriage, dismounted from the horse.
Seeing that the Eldest Princess was kneeling on the ground in front of her.
Tang Yingyi couldn’t help but whisper to Jiang Ran:
“All this way, I always forget her identity.
“Now look again, tsk tsk, worthy of being the eldest princess. When will you hurry up and take her down, our magic palm will be able to penetrate deep into the courtroom!”
“Magic palm ……”
Ye Jingshang couldn’t help but twitch the corners of her mouth after hearing it from the side.
By now she naturally already knew that the so-called ‘Li Tianxin’ was Tang Yuyi, and the initial purpose of the female disguise was also to protect Jiang Ran.
Her true identity was the well-deserved Holy Maiden of the Demon Cult.
But even so, these two words, Demon Palm, made Ye Shockfrost’s ears twist all over.
“How else to describe it?”
Tang Wuyi asked Ye Jingshang.
“…… Well.”
Ye Jingshang thought for a moment:
“Just the devil’s palm.”
The young reverend of the Devil Sect seemed to complement each other.
Tang Yingyi was instantly pleased.
But before she could laugh, the eldest princess had turned back:
“What are you guys still standing there for? Go, we’re home!”
The crowd looked at Jiang Ran, who smiled:
“Go.”
As soon as he started, the crowd followed him.
The Eldest Princess was smilingly walking side by side with Jiang Ran.
If there was something between them, she even slightly sidestepped Jiang Ran’s side.
The surrounding people all sucked in a breath of cold air.
Princess of the house of the door, whether it is a boy, or maid, which one is not a person elite?
What is the status of the Princess?
Even if the other side of the high power, the big deal is just a side by side.
This is not a big deal.
But the Princess’s figure is slightly sideways, respect is even more obvious.
This appearance, they looked at each other and knew that the man in front of them, as well as the group of people he brought behind him, is a not to be messed with.
Need to be careful again and again, cautious again and again.
What do not see, even the second prince of the dynasty, this will be followed by them, and even stood in the periphery of a group of people.
What kind of people are these people ……?
In the end is do not know the rules?
Or is there no rules at all?
Or is it that the eldest princess doesn’t want to talk to them about rules at all?
However, whichever it was, it was right to not be able to afford to mess with them.
Jiang Ran did not think that these underlings brain was so colorful, all the way to the Princess House to go, the Princess while giving Jiang Ran casually introduced.
This is which a yard, why such a name, the scenery in the yard and what characters to the layout.
Jiang Ran listened to the successive nods, occasionally looked up and saw a building into the eyes.
Although it was not too high, only three floors, but also stood out from the rest.
Couldn’t help but ask:
“That is?”
“That is this palace’s residence.”
The eldest princess laughed:
“What? You’ve taken a liking to it? Then you go sleep at night as well.”
“Isn’t this a racket? How dare I grab it from the Eldest Princess?”
Jiang Ran laughed dumbly.
“Who said snatch it from me?”
The Rapunzel blinked:
“If I live there, you can’t live there? What kind of reasoning is that?
“In fact, this palace’s bed is so big that it’s more than enough for two people to lie down!”
“I yuck!”
Hearing this, Tang Yuyi couldn’t help but secretly spit and whispered to Tang Shixiang:
“This Shan Yu Cicada, getting more and more shameless.”
Tang Shixue didn’t have much of a reaction, while Ye Jingxue nodded her head repeatedly from the side.
Jiang Ran raised an eyebrow and glanced around, realizing that the heads of the people around him had lowered even more.
Obviously that had also heard the words.
However, he knew that the Eldest Princess was doing this again on purpose.
Yuwen Ting was able to know the whereabouts of the Eldest Princess and waited early at the gates of the capital to greet her.
It appeared to be a matter of deep affection, but in reality, it was not as simple as that.
This only further showed that the Eldest Princess’ side was already riddled with holes.
Now that she said this to Jiang Ran, she also precisely wanted to let these people around her, to spread this news out.
It was just the right time to use this to see just where the leaks were.
However, she also really wasn’t worried about not being able to marry out, and she didn’t care about her reputation at all.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ran suddenly smiled and was seen nodding his head gently:
“Good.”
“Ah?”
The eldest princess froze: “What’s good?”
“Sleeping together.”
Jiang Ran laughed:
“Isn’t the Rapunzel’s bed big enough? It’s more than enough to sleep two people.
“Since the Eldest Princess has such elegance and grace,” he said.
“Then if I continue to push back, I will be a bit unaware of my own good intentions.
“Then I will respectfully comply, and I will have to bother the Eldest Princess more in this period of time in the future!”
Eldest Princess:”?”
