Xu Qing and Xiao Ye walked side by side in the plum garden.
Xiao Ye looked at King Loulan who was walking with Li Mingyue in front of him, coughed and said, "Brother Xu, your gun touched me."
When Xu Qing heard Xiao Ye's words, he quickly changed the gun from his right hand to his left hand.
Fortunately, so far, King Loulan has behaved quite well.
Xu Qing was busy preparing to fire at any time, and Xiao Ye was not idle either.
At this time, he was still calculating the feasibility if the Chu army detoured from the grassland and directly bypassed Zhou and went south to attack Loulan.
If the time hadn't been ripe now, Xu Qing would have really wanted to kill King Loulan with one shot.
But it doesn't work. If King Loulan dies and his brother dies, his existing heir will still become the new king. Li Mingyue is a concubine princess and it will not have any impact on the overall situation. Moreover, if he takes action out of impulse, it will disrupt Li Xun's situation.
Plan, Li Xun is probably still conducting war games now, calculating the possibility of success and arranging various strategies in advance. The death of King Loulan here will inevitably cause a chain reaction on Li Xun's side.
Xu Qing can only let King Loulan live for a few more days, but it is best that King Loulan wants to live well. If he doesn't want to die, Xu Qing doesn't mind giving him a ride.
Although they did not want to disrupt Li Xun's plan, Li Mingyue's safety was the first priority in Xu Qing and Li Xun's hearts.
Not to mention that the plan was messed up, even if the world was in chaos, Li Mingyue still wanted to be safe.
The weather today was not very good, it was very cloudy, and it started to snow soon.
Some people prefer snow scenery and walking in the snow is quite elegant, while others hide in the nearest pavilion or pavilion for a while.
There is a teahouse in the plum garden, which is elegantly decorated. Many dignitaries who are not short of money have simply booked a private room, where they can make charcoal and enjoy the view from the window, which is also a unique experience.
King Loulan looked at Li Mingyue and said, "Princess is not in good health, why not find a teahouse to have tea and watch the snow?"
Li Mingyue shook her head and said: "Thank you very much for the kindness of King Loulan. Mingyue has been in poor health since childhood. She is a little tired from visiting the garden today and wants to go back home to rest first."
Although King Loulan was unhappy after hearing Li Mingyue's words, there were so many people visiting the garden here that he couldn't force himself, so he had to say: "How about I send the princess back to my home?"
Li Mingyue shook her head and refused: "The carriage Mingyue is riding in is too narrow to accommodate the two of us. Thank you King Loulan for your kindness."
King Loulan smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. I came on horseback, so I can naturally follow the princess back to the house. This way I can confirm the princess's safety. I hope the princess will not refuse."
Li Mingyue was not good at arguing, and King Loulan was so persistent in her pursuit. At this time, no matter how unhappy Li Mingyue felt, she had to follow King Loulan's wishes.
When King Loulan and Li Mingyue left the Plum Garden, Li Mingyue got on the carriage and King Loulan also got on the horse.
Behind them, Xu Qing and Xiao Ye also got on the carriage they came from. Xiao Ye said to the coachman, "Follow the carriage in front."
When the groom heard Xiao Ye's greeting, he nodded, and then drove his horse forward.
Xiao Ye looked at Xu Qing who was nervous all the way and couldn't help but sigh. In fact, now that he thinks about it, sometimes it's better to be alone.
There are too many women to take care of!
You have to worry about this one and the other one who is also distracted. Unlike him, Wan'er is the only one with a lot of free time every day.
If there were so many women around him like Brother Xu, wouldn't he spend all his time with these women every day?
If so, where would you have time to beat your son?
No, no, it's too much trouble.
If by then I find as many women as Brother Xu, I will have more sons, but I won’t have time to fight with them.
…
Li Mingyue's carriage drove all the way to the gate of the princess's mansion, and then Li Mingyue got off the carriage.
King Loulan naturally stood up and dismounted.
Li Mingyue said: "Thank you very much, King Loulan, for your kindness today. Mingyue will take my leave."
King Loulan smiled and said: "I will send the princess in."
Li Mingyue immediately shook her head and said, "It's better not to bother."
King Loulan said: "The princess is my fiancée, so what's the trouble?"
After what happened last time, the concierge learned his lesson well. Knowing who King Loulan was and the prince's instructions, he naturally would not stop him any more. He just nodded and bowed and invited Li Mingyue and King Loulan to enter the house.
In the outer house, there were only a few servants working slowly, plowing snow and carrying water.
However, after seeing King Loulan, a few servants' eyes clearly flashed with fierceness. Not long after, one of the servants left the princess's residence and walked towards a tavern in the capital.
After Li Mingyue and King Loulan arrived at the door of the inner house, Li Mingyue said: "King Loulan has been sent here, and Mingyue can walk the rest of the way by herself."
King Loulan said: "I have sent the princess all the way here, and I feel a little thirsty. I wonder if I can go in and ask the princess for a cup of tea."
…
It was a little strange for Xiao Ye and Xu Qing to come to the familiar wall. It stands to reason that one learns from each experience, but why are the guards at the Princess Mansion still the same as before?
After what happened last time, even if the Zhou court was stupid, they should know where to add people, right?
What? Wherever you fall, just lie there for a while?
But at this time Xu Qing and Xiao Ye obviously couldn't care so much. They skillfully climbed over the two walls between the outer house and the inner house and entered the inner house.
At this time, there were still no outsiders in the inner house.
Xu Qing always held a firecracker in his hand so that he could give King Loulan a blow at any time.
In the main house
After Li Mingyue poured tea for King Loulan, he placed the water cup next to King Loulan. If Li Mingyue's delicate hands had not put down the water cup and retreated quickly, he would have almost been touched by the two hands stretched out by King Loulan.
Li Mingyue also stood further away from King Loulan and said: "King Loulan, please use it. Mingyue is a little tired. If King Loulan has nothing else to do, Mingyue won't have much time left."
King Loulan looked at Li Mingyue and said, "Sooner or later, if you and I are going to be husband and wife, why do we reject this king so far away?"
Li Mingyue argued: "King Loulan, please respect yourself, you don't have any relationship now."
She didn't know whether she would become King Loulan's wife in the end, but she knew that her agreement with Xu Qing was to be Xu Qing's wife for eighteen days. How could she allow King Loulan in front of her to say such frivolous words.
King Loulan stood up and approached Li Mingyue step by step. However, King Loulan approached Li Mingyue, and the expression on his face became more and more fierce; "I have nothing to do with you? So if the people of Chu can touch you, I cannot touch you?"
