Queen Flower - Chapter 244
“You’re welcome, is the girl injured?” The young man spoke calmly and powerfully, with a hidden majesty, stepped forward and looked down at her.
Jiang Lan took a step back without a trace, and lowered his head lower, “No, thank you.” She bowed and wanted to pass by him.
The man stretched out his hand to stop her, “Isn’t the girl from the border town?” He observed her footsteps, soft and agile, he should have practiced, and he couldn’t tell the depth.
Jiang Lan felt frustrated, fortunately she didn’t go to the inn with Xiao Yan just now, otherwise she might be caught as a spy now. She lowered her head and said, “It’s not really, I’m here to defect to my relatives.”
“Oh, I don’t know where, I was quite offended just now, why don’t I let the servants below take the girl there.” The man said lightly, with an irresistible thought in his voice.
Jiang Lan looked up at the man, what do you mean, who is this man, the top leader of the border town? It’s suspicious of her identity. Even if she is a foreigner, she can’t tell at a glance that she is a spy.
“Thank you so much for your kindness, but my relatives are no longer in the border town.” Jiang Lan said.
The man smiled, “My surname is Liu, the girl is beautiful and I admire her very much. I don’t know where she came from? Do you have a family?”
Jiang Lan’s eyes were wide and round. This man is so dazzling. He looks so handsome when he sees half of his face. How can you be sure that my nose is not crooked under the veil? But no matter what admiration or starting a family, the most crucial words are where the words come from.
“I’m from King Hui’s Domain, and I left because I was afraid of war.” Jiang Lan’s mind was spinning at a high speed. After thinking about it, it was only this place that could say that King Ding and King Xian were unreliable.
Seeing that he didn’t speak, she seemed to be evaluating, and she said angrily, “Could it be that you are the chief of the border town and don’t allow outsiders to enter here. Then I’ll leave immediately.” She should take a tougher attitude, otherwise it would be a guilty conscience. .
Then the man smiled slightly, “I’m not the city owner, but in these extraordinary times, as a citizen of the border city, I should serve for the border city. If there is a suspect, don’t let it go, and report it immediately.” The voice changed and said: “I In fact, I am a businessman, and whoever is the king has nothing to do with me. I pay more attention to maximizing profits. Since the girl is from the kingdom of Huiwang, she should understand the current Huicheng. If you tell me, I will believe your words, naturally not Do something superfluous.”
This is a threat, if he ran to the government to make a fuss, wouldn’t he have trapped her and Xiao Yan in the border town. If you find out that she is actually Jiang Lan, then it will be a big deal. I really regret it. Why do you want to make gunpowder at this time? Wouldn’t it be better to stay at the inn and wait for Xiao Yan?
Jiang Lan was very angry, and his voice was cold, “How are you?”
“Nothing? Just talking. Girl, please.” The man pointed to the restaurant next to him.
Jiang Lan couldn’t, so he went upstairs with him and sat opposite him.
“I don’t know what Liu Gongzi wants to know?” Jiang Lan didn’t drink tea. Just play with the teacup.
“What about Murong Xiling’s system?” he asked.
“It’s still acceptable,” Jiang Lan replied.
The man chuckled, “I think Murong Xiling is another Murong Jian, otherwise why would you leave.”
“Who said that? I heard a popular saying in Huicheng that everyone has a wife. That’s their national policy. It’s not the same as Murong Jian. It’s clearly the same idea as your Highness Prince Jing. Murong Xiling still has a wife. No, Murong Jian has a harem.” Jiang Lan said casually, “I left for personal reasons, and it has nothing to do with others.”
The man’s eyes flashed, “Have you seen King Jing?”
Jiang Lan shook his head.
The man added, “Since Murong Xiling has the same idea as King Jing, why did he raise troops to attack?”
Jiang Lan said curiously, “I also heard on the way that it was your King Jing who was going to invade Huicheng, and he and Murong Jian sent troops at the same time. It is 80% that King Jing and Murong Jian formed an alliance. Running out of fear?”
The man behind the man showed anger again, but when he saw the man’s face, he became quiet again. It seemed that he really couldn’t speak ill of King Jing.
“What’s the girl’s last name?” he asked suddenly.
Jiang Lan replied hesitantly, “My surname is Wen.”
“I don’t have a wife yet. Today, I met Miss Wen like old friends, and I feel very cordial. Miss Wen can’t get married now, so she’s taking courage. If you don’t go back with me, I will treat her with heart.” He smiled at her.
Jiang Lan almost jumped up from the chair, what kind of thinking mode is this person, the suspect who was still beating around just now, suddenly begged for a kiss as soon as he turned his face, and said that if you meet each other, you are an idiot. He was tricked back, and the followers behind him seemed to be surprised. It really was the circuit of God.
Jiang Lan waved his hands again and again, “Pu Liuzhizi, thank you Gao Kan, and I already have a husband-in-law. If there is nothing else, I will leave.”
She stood up and left, but no one stopped her.
Jiang Lan left the teahouse and did not go back to the inn. Instead, she took a detour. Since there are mosquitoes to follow, I will make you feel comfortable. She is leisurely, and she has to take a look everywhere. , touched it, lingered, and finally reached a clothing store and ran through the back door.
The man in the teahouse continued to drink tea, and his subordinates came back after a while, wiping the sweat from his forehead and kneeling on the ground, “Your Highness, this person is very slippery and lost.”
The man didn’t say a word, drinking tea by himself.
The man kneeling on the ground was drenched in cold sweat.
“Get up, it’s alright.” The man said solemnly. In fact, he had a strange feeling when he saw this woman in white, so he followed her and pretended to collide at the door, just to find a chance to test.
But if he wants to say what he feels, whether he suspects that she is a spy or something else, he can’t tell, but now it really proves that she is very mysterious. But what she knew from her mouth was the truth. It seemed that Murong Xiling really wasn’t Murong Jian. I heard that his subordinates were brave and had a peerless beauty. For some reason, he suddenly remembered the woman in white just now. Based on his intuition, he could be sure that under the veil, he must be absolutely gorgeous, otherwise he would not suddenly want to ask for a kiss, which had never happened before.
Is it just that this beautiful woman is Petya? He shook his head in denial, probably not.
“Go back, and go back to the army tomorrow.” He stood up and left. Since she was in the border town, he would stay. He wanted to find her.
Jiang Lan returned to the inn, but Xiao Yan had not returned. She asked Xiao Er to bring her water, and by the way, to find out the situation.
If King Jing really won the hearts of the people, then the war between the two places would be very cruel, and it is very likely that the snipe and clam would fight, the fisherman would benefit, and Murong Jian would be cheaper, so it is still the best policy to find this person for peaceful negotiation.
It’s even more difficult to just defeat the enemy without fighting.
“Our King Jing is good. Isn’t the girl here for this reason? I have seen a situation like yours a lot over the years, and people from other places often sneak up.” Xiao Er put the water away and started talking to her. Talking, the young and beautiful girl is very happy to talk, and the second inn is very enthusiastic.
“Where is King Jing?” Jiang Lan asked.
Xiao Er’s eyes sparkled, “I don’t know about Murong Xiling, but the former King Ding, King Xian and Murong Jian were all selfish people who only cared about themselves and not the people, and the only queen, King Hui, too. Domineering and oppressing the good people, there is nothing like the queen of the year. Only our highness, King Jing, has a good command, respects tradition, never occupies women, and protects the interests of common men. Even now, there is no wife and master. You say Whether such a king is good or not, whether we like it or not, you only need to look at the people walking on the street to know the difference. So if someone wants to invade, we will fight as the whole people, and we will not be greedy for life and fear of death. Because everyone knows If this place becomes the same as Murong Jian’s place, where will the common people survive?”
Jiang Lan nodded, “His Royal Highness King Jing is really good, but I heard along the way that King Jing is going to attack Murong Xiling, which is different from what you said.”
“That new prince Murong is really amazing. You see, he has taken care of three places one after another shortly after he became king. Can we not prepare for battle? Maybe the next target is here, do we wait for someone to attack? ?” Xiao Er was indignant, “The good days of stability are few, and you have to fight all day long, are you bothered?”
Jiang Lan was a little silent, but what he said was reasonable. The common people must be opposed to war, especially in stable and harmonious places. This is different from the situation in Dingcheng, Huicheng. The people of King Jing have no political demands, and they have a good life. They don’t need to change, they are even afraid to change, and they obviously don’t like people with the surname Murong.
So, what she’s going to face is that all the people are soldiers? Grandma’s, the first expedition is estimated to be a big defeat and come back. No, we must find out the person who came from King Jing, stop fighting, let’s talk about it first, this war can be completely avoided.
When Xiao Yan came back, it was already time to hold the lamp.
Jiang Lan had already taken off his coat, revealing the night clothes inside, covered half of his face with a black cloth, and wrapped the Bawang whip. When he was ready, when he came back, he asked, “How?”
Xiao Yan nodded, “The person who came here seems to be in a high position. He had already left when I went to the station to investigate, but he came back later, but this time he didn’t enter the station and went to the City Lord’s Mansion, so I went to the City Lord’s Mansion to go around again. , It seems that it is indeed receiving someone, and the guard at the door is quite strict.”
“Then let’s go to the City Lord’s Mansion.” Jiang Lan replied.
The two set off immediately, touched the door of the mansion, searched for a remote and uninhabited place, and jumped over the fence.
In the darkness, the two of them leaned against the wall and held their breaths. After observing for a moment, there was no movement or dogs below, so they jumped down, all of which fell silent.
This is probably the back garden, there is no one around, only the night wind blows gently, branches and leaves sway gently, leaving swaying shadows on the road.
