Scheming Prince’s Rampant Again - Chapter 195
TAO town was an important border town of Nanming Kingdom, which was highly valued by the imperial court. The most wealthy gentry in the town specially decorated their houses like inns, which were specially used to entertain distinguished guests. Naturally, the decoration and meals were first-class, not to mention the fruit of Nanning.
After eating a few extremely sweet grapes, Princess Arnold couldn’t sit still. She wanted to take a bunch of grapes to Nanzhu and let him taste the delicious food. However, Princess Arnold knows that Lu Jingyi will not let her go to Nanzhu unless
“Brother Jinwang, can I send some fruit to sister Qingyi? She likes grapes very much Princess Arnold looked up at Lu Jingyi with a pitiful, cautious look on her face.
Lu Jingyi was thinking about something. When she heard her words, she lowered her head and said with a smile: “Qingyi doesn’t like grapes. She likes oranges. Moreover, she doesn’t like pure sweetness. Sweetness in sour is her favorite. You don’t even know what she likes, and you dare to cheat me under her banner. How dare you? ”
As soon as princess a Nuo spat out her tongue, her face turned red slightly: “how did I know that brother Jinwang knew sister Qingyi so well? Brother Jinwang seldom inquires about these things on weekdays. He doesn’t even know what I like! ”
Unintentionally a joke, unexpectedly let Lu Jingyi smile suddenly lost, put on a pair of sad lost look.
If you really love someone, you will naturally pay attention to her every bit, think about her likes, think about her dislikes, and even love her. But the word “true love” is most unpredictable. It is more precious than gold when it is in love with each other; if it is wishful thinking, it is the mud in the pit, worthless.
It’s ridiculous and pathetic to think about my deep love in the past two years, and now I’m only tired of walking in green clothes.
Lu Jingyi’s depression made Princess Arnold flustered. She jumped down from the stool and threw herself on Lu Jingyi’s leg. She shook her leg like a coquetry: “Arnold said something wrong, brother Jinwang, don’t be angry…”
“It’s not your fault. It’s all my fault.” Lu Jingyi reluctantly smiles and taps Princess ano’s thin back, “ano, don’t blame my brother for being too strict with you. You are not old enough to fall in love. Nanzhu and you are not the same people. No matter how much you like them, you can’t get together. Brother, it’s all for your own good. You’ll understand when you grow up. ”
Arnold lowered his head and kept silent for a long time. After a long time, he whispered: “if you like someone, you should fight for it without hesitation? Just like brother Jinwang likes sister Qingyi, he won’t give up at any time. ”
“It’s different, Arnold. It’s different.” Lu Jingyi was so depressed that he had to keep sighing, “Qingyi and I are both adults, and we used to love each other. Plus her status as Qingxiang princess, I have no problem with her. For me, the only obstacle is that I am not the man she loves. If there is no Mogui, maybe the ending will be very different from now. ”
These words are not only an explanation for Arnold, but also Lu Jingyi’s feelings for himself. However, what he didn’t expect was that Arnold suddenly stepped back and looked up at him, then shook his head slightly, as if he didn’t agree with him.
“Brother Jinwang really doesn’t understand, or is he deceiving himself? No matter whether brother Mogui is here or not, brother Jinwang can’t be with sister Qingyi! ”
Arnold’s resolute retort is like a heavy hammer, which smashes a crack in Lu Jingyi’s heart.
Even his beloved sister, Lu Jingyi, is hard to accept such cruel evaluation. He frowned and said harshly, “Arnold, don’t be mischievous! If you talk nonsense again, my brother will be angry! ”
“This is one of the differences between brother Jinwang and sister Qingyi!” Arnold didn’t retreat but advance, and his eyes became more firm. “Brother Jinwang has always treated me as a child, but sister Qingyi respects me as an adult. There are many differences between you. That’s why I said, even without brother Mogui — ”
” enough! ”
Lu Jingyi suddenly interrupts Arnold with a fury, which makes Arnold shake.
For a long time, Lu Jingyi has been in a state of anxiety because of his wishful love and the relationship with Bu Qingyi. Before Bu Qingyi settled the relationship with Mo GUI in public, it was like a sharp knife in his heart. He spent countless sleepless nights and had great patience, which did not expose his fatigue to people.
But Arnold’s words completely pierced his last line of defense.
Want to be with her, probably really can only be a dream? The woman who once regarded him as a confidant now refuses to let him touch her heart, let alone respond to his feelings.
There’s no hope, but that’s all.
Once the bottom line is broken, it’s hard to return to normal. Lu Jingyi has been unable to maintain a gentle and calm elder brother image in front of Arnold. His chest is so dull that he almost suffocates. His cold palm is on the table just to keep from falling down.
There is no strength to hold on.
Whether it’s fruitless love, endless power disputes, or broken brotherhood, changing the taste of father and son All of these made Lu Jingyi miserable. Once he was knocked down, it would be hard for him to stand up.Such a haggard Lu Jingyi made Princess Arnold feel distressed. She slowly stepped forward and hugged his arm, with a bird nestling around his waist.
“Did brother Jinwang understand that for a long time? You know sister Qingyi so well, how can you not know? You can’t give her what she wants in the past or in the future. You just don’t want to let go Like people, willing to use their lives to protect the people, how would be willing to let him go My brother Jinwang and I are in the same mood… ”
Arnold’s weeping voice is so subtle, but Lu Jingyi can hear it very clearly, as if the weeping voice is not outside, but in his heart.
No one can respond to the love, or blocked love, the kind of pain, different but also the same.
When the softest part of his heart is touched, Lu Jingyi remembers that he still has the identity of elder brother and the responsibility to protect Arnold. He took a deep breath and restrained the pain one by one. He rubbed Arnold’s head and squeezed out a bitter smile: “Arnold, don’t cry. Aren’t you going to deliver fruit to Qingyi? Here, I’ll fix it for you. ”
His usual tenderness never disappeared. Arnold raised his head with tears. What he saw in his eyes was still the brother who loved her and cared more about her than anyone else.
“Well, let’s do it together.”
Arnold wiped away his tears and stretched out his hands to sort out the remaining fruit on the plate. At this time, a strange sound came out of the window.
Lu Jingyi and Arnold live on the second floor of the house. Under the window is an open channel from the Wenhe river. Except for the sound of running water, there should be no sound outside the window. Lu Jingyi immediately became alert. He made a hissing gesture to Arnold, protecting Arnold behind him with one hand and slowly extending his other hand to the window.
Bang.
The window was flung open. It was dark outside and nothing could be seen.
“Did you hear me wrong?”
Lu Jingyi whispered to himself, and his heart slowly fell when he mentioned his throat. But just as he put down his vigilance, Arnold suddenly noticed something and pulled his sleeve with a scream.
“No! There are no stars
The cry of surprise reminds Lu Jingyi that he suddenly understands what Arnold means.
It’s dark outside, but it’s sunny all day in Taozhen. When you open the window, you can see that in addition to the heavy color, there should be stars in the sky, not dead and pure black!
Lu Jingyi didn’t have time to think about it, so he immediately picked up Arnold and retreated to the door. At the same time, there was a hula outside the window, as if the curtain had been lifted. A cold light came in from the window and came straight to Lu Jingyi.
The door should be pulled away from the inside, and they retreated to the door in the boundless space, clinging to the door panel instead of being able to open the door. Although Lu Jingyi didn’t have much time, his reaction was very fast. At the critical moment, he was not in a mess. He hooked his toes over the stool beside him, picked it up and smashed it at the shadow.
The stool disturbs the assassin’s killing move. With a slight pause, Lu Jingyi takes this short opportunity to open the door, pushes Arnold out and rushes out.
There were four guards on this floor, but at this time, all the soldiers fell to the ground, not knowing whether they were alive or dead. Lu Jingyi can’t help bending over to check. He carries Arnold on his shoulder and rushes downstairs while shouting for help.
It’s also a coincidence that Liu Xiaoyi, who was going to find Bu Qingyi, suddenly has a stomachache. Now she is sitting downstairs waiting for hot ginger soup to drink, while Lei Yunwei and Bai yuelang are with her. Hearing the cry for help, the three subconsciously look up and see Lu Jingyi carrying Arnold running down. Lei Yunwei does not hesitate to pull out his sword to protect him. Bai yuelang and Liu Xiaoyi take over Princess Arnold and run outside the house.
Outside the residence, there were a large number of guards and a group of guards sent by Shen Junhong. The total number of the two sides was 300. After Lu Jingyi and Princess Arnold came out, they were immediately protected by these soldiers, but Lei Yunwei disappeared from the crowd, making Bai yuelang and Liu Xiaoyi anxious.
A moment later, Lei Yunwei jumped down from the window on the second floor and shook his head to his father with a calm face: “people have run.”
General Lei’s face was also extremely ugly. He turned around and fell on his knees in front of Lu Jingyi with a plop: “the last general is incompetent. He let the assassin exploit the loophole. Please punish him!”
All the people were shocked, but Lu Jingyi, who was the witness of the assassination, had calmed down. He quickly picked up general Lei, frowned his two swords tightly, and looked away at the inn without playing.
“Send someone to the inn quickly! I’m afraid Princess Qingxiang’s side has also been attacked! “
