The Submissive Emperor - Chapter 71

Taroko, trap, shoot…

Lou Jing’s heart jumped, his grandfather, isn’t that how he died? Something flashed in his mind, making him suddenly confused.

“Shizi…” Seeing Lou Jing’s expression, Le Xian cautiously whispered.

“Go and pack some clothes for me, I’ll go find the prince.” Lou Jing waved his hand to let Le go on leisurely, and sat down to rest for a while.

This is the main courtyard of the Minwang Mansion. It is similar to the Wang Mansion in Beijing. It is also connected to the bedroom by the study, but it is more spacious than the mansion in Beijing.

Lou Jing closed his eyes, the four princes and him are only a few fate, what he cares about is Xiao Chengzheng’s way of death. If you encounter the killing formation like the grandfather encountered, let alone the four princes, he is probably also in a disaster, but that killing formation must be cooperated internally…

The death of Old Ang Guo was a mystery. Lou Jing did not follow on the battlefield at the time. He only knew that the lieutenant had betrayed his grandfather. He could not be caught for interrogation without evidence, so he simply killed his grandfather. But the death of the four princes was strange, perhaps because of this, the cause of grandfather’s death can be found out.

With caress in his mind, Lou Jing calmed down a bit, looked around, got up and went to the study.

The furnishings in the study were still set up in accordance with Xiao Chengjun’s habit, and were generally no different from the study in Beijing. In a trance, they seemed to have returned to the Chongwen Pavilion in the East Palace. At that time they were cautious, working at every step, and had a hard time every day, but now they want to come, but it is very sweet, at least, they are together day and night.

On the desk is a set of penholders and inkstones carved with sapphire jade, which contrast with the brush wash of the lotus. Lou Jing reached out and touched the exquisite brush wash, slightly curling his lips. The other objects were bought after coming to Minzhou. Only this brush wash was given to Xiao Chengjun and he never left this one. His Highness’s desk.

I looked up and saw a few scrolls in the painting jar, all of them were rice paper, only one was mounted, and I couldn’t help but say “Huh”. He seemed to have seen the scroll, but he had never cared about it. Lou Jing was curious for a while and was about to pick it up. Look.

“Shizi, it’s time to clean up.” Le Xian came over to report at this time.

Lou Jing put back the unopened scroll and took the burden from Le Xian, “I will leave Yun Wu behind, and let him report the letter if he is in a hurry.”

“Yes.” Le Xian responded with a smile and sent Lou Jing out.

From Rongcheng to the sea, less than a hundred li, two hours have arrived. This is a small county in Rong County, named Tingzhi, which is a place with great scenery.

After asking the guards where the King of Min was going, Lou Jing left You Yunwei and went to the beach to find someone by himself.

The sun was still bright and scorching before it was dusk. To the south of Minzhou, it was already very hot at this time. Lou Jing casually folded a leafy coconut tree branch and walked to the depths of the beach.

Several large and small rocks stand in the shoal, and thousands of years of scouring have long rounded them. The clear sea water poured in from the junction of the sky and water, fell on the golden sand, turned into gentle waves, wet the clothes of the seaside people.

The light blue shirt, the white of the moonlight, and the thin, wide-sleeved robe, stirred in the sea breeze.

Lou Jing walked over and raised the branches to cover a shade, “What are you looking at?”

“The tide is ebb and flow, just like things are impermanent, the first moment is still alive, the next moment is silent.” Xiao Chengjun’s voice was a bit heavy, and he did not look back at the people around him, still quietly looking at the sea.

The June sun was scorching the beach and the sea water was steaming. Lou Jing looked around. Not far away, there were two huge reefs. They were tall and long, with the tops touching each other. They formed a pergola. His Royal Highness the King of Min, “Let’s sit over there for a while. I rode for three days and stood tired.”

Xiao Chengjun looked back at him, and she was really tired on her unparalleled beauty, frowned slightly, and pulled him to sit in the shade among the huge boulders.

Below the boulder is a round rock, and the sea water rushes up from time to time. Although the weather is hot, there is a bit of cold under this natural stone cave, which is very refreshing.

Lou Jing put his husband in his arms and touched his tanned cheeks.

It is rare for Xiao Chengjun not to refuse such a hug, and quietly leaned against Lou Jing’s chest, “Why are you here?”

“Jiuchang’s affairs have been settled,” Lou Jing took the person into his arms to make him more comfortable, “open your mouth.”

A crystal-clear candy was handed to his lips. Xiao Chengjun opened his mouth obediently. The mellow taste was a bit like amber sugar. After tasting for a while, there was a faint bovine frankincense, and he could not help but squint his eyes slightly, “What is this? sugar?”

“Amber nougat.” Lou Jing smiled mysteriously. The shop owner had not made nougat before, so he mixed milk into it according to the method of making amber candy, but it was unexpectedly delicious.

The sweet smell filled his mouth and nose, and gave a bit of comfort to the bitter heart. Xiao Chengjun sighed, sat up, and said, “Cheng Zheng grew up with me. Although I can’t treat him as well as Cheng Jin, I will…”

Lou Jing reached out to hold his hand, did not answer the conversation, let him continue to speak.

“I had expected it to be the end…” Xiao Chengjun sighed, but did not go on. From childhood to adulthood, everything he did was calculated. From the abolition of the prince to the closure of Minzhou, everything was under his control, but he never thought of killing the four princes.

“I’m an emperor, I can’t regret it.” Lou Jing clenched that slender hand. In fact, he didn’t want Xiao Chengjun to become a cold-blooded emperor, but he was indecisive, even less what he wanted.

Xiao Chengjun smiled faintly and looked at the sea and the sky, “Those who have different hearts are abandoning their children. I don’t regret it, I just feel it is a pity.”

The royal family, except for the same mother and brother, no matter how much effort, it is difficult to completely conquer it. It’s just that I feel that the feelings of these years have been in vain. It is a pity for Xiao Chengzheng and for himself, nothing more…

Lou Jing looked at the people around him steadily, killing him decisively, and breaking when he was broken, such a character, how not to make him fall in love, stretched out his arm from behind and hugged Xiao Chengjun’s waist, leaning against the back of his neck and rubbing his cheeks, “I am in this life. , Will never betray you.”

Xiao Chengjun smiled lightly and turned around to pinch Lou Jing’s chin, “My lord, I won’t give you a chance to betray. If there is such a day, I will kill you myself.”

The low and melodious voice, with irresistible majesty, said such powerful words, obviously it was such a danger, but it made Lou Jing’s heartbeat suddenly quicken, and he looked deeply at the silent black eyes, slowly Slowly approached, rubbed the tip of his nose, and said dumbly: “Death to your hand, I am willing to die.”

Staring at each other, his nose is soft as an orchid. When they approached suddenly, the breath of each other suddenly filled their tongues, and the sweet amber nougat gradually melted, and both of them couldn’t help but indulge in it. Suspected dreams depend on each other until the moon sets, dawn and stars are cold.

As the setting sun sinks in the west, a fire-like afterimage is reflected on the sea, dots and dots, accompanied by the sound of the tide, making it more quiet.

The two lay snuggled on the soft and warm sand, looking at the fiery red of the sky, and their hearts were very peaceful.

“The beach is cool, let’s sleep here tonight.” Lou Jing kissed the forehead of the people around him.

“It’s not safe to fall asleep here. At this time, Japanese pirates often come.” This beach is under a cliff, and you have to go around a coconut grove to find it. It is very clean, but also very dangerous, because Japanese pirates often encounter Choose a secluded beach to go ashore.

“How can it be such a coincidence.” Lou Jing chuckled. Seeing that it was getting late, he got up and prepared to go to the back of the woods and change Youyunwei to grill the fish. Unexpectedly, he felt that something was wrong after walking not far, and suddenly turned around. Suddenly discovered that not far away from the cliff, a pointed tip appeared at some point, and it seemed to be… the bow!

Going to take a closer look, in the dim sky, you can vaguely see the movement of things among the pile of black rocks.

Lou Jing was taken aback and walked back quickly, while Xiao Chengjun was still lying on the beach with his arms pillowed, and there was a reef three steps away from him.

Suddenly, a low figure sprang out from behind the reef.

“Chengjun!” Lou Jing yelled, and ran to the side as hard as he could, but the beach was soft and unable to make it strong, and he couldn’t run fast even if he was anxious.

Xiao Chengjun was yelled by him and looked back at him. At the same time, a thin, dazzling knife slashed straight towards his head from top to bottom.

Lou Jing kicked up a gravel and hurled it over there.

With a bang, the gravel hit the blade severely, causing the thin knife to deviate a bit.

Xiao Chengjun reacted, and then rolled into force, drew his sword to block the long sword that was chopped again.

Lou Jing kicked the reef lightly, then jumped up, kicking the man away. The pressure on the sword lightened, Xiao Chengjun abruptly got up and stabbed in the past with a sword.

The figure was very light, and he swung a knife in the air, collided with the Chixiao sword, turned over with strength, and landed on the beach.

Only then did the two of them see the appearance of the dark shadow. They were all dressed in black, their calves were firmly tied with cloth strips, they held the handle of the knife in both hands, their faces were covered with black cloth, and half of their heads were bright, above their heads. He wore a soaring bun.

“Japanese pirates!” Xiao Chengjun’s pupils shrank.

“So short!” Lou Jing had never seen the Japanese pirates. He only heard people say that the Dongying people were so short that they were only five feet tall.

Before he laughed, a dozen similar people in black sprang out from behind the black reef, each holding a single-edged bald long knife that looked like a sword but not a sword. , Surrounded him two people round and round.

“Who is Ele?” Xiao Chengjun asked coldly before crossing the sword and before him.

A black-clothed man standing on a high place murmured a few words in a strange tone, and the dozen or so Japanese pirates shouted: “Hi!”

“The Japanese pirates still talk about etiquette.” Lou Jing touched his husband Jun’s back, and put his saber in front of him. Before he could respond to the Japanese pirates’ etiquette, the black-clothed men jumped up and sang together. They hacked it!
