When Cen Qianhui heard this, he seemed to be greatly frightened.
she……
She has always felt that men are stupid and dirty existences.
They are extremely stupid, often smell bad, and some men can only think with their lower body.
Therefore, she always felt that she liked women.
As the eldest daughter of the Cen family of the Jinling family, Cen Qianhui was proficient in playing, playing, playing, chess, calligraphy and painting since childhood. She was precocious and well-known.
The reason why she had not married a lover until she was eighteen years old was simply because Cen Qianhui liked women.
That's why she gets so close to a lady like Yuan Che...even though the other person doesn't seem to know her true hobby.
Cen Qianhui's mother did die young, but she did not lie to Yan Wulu about this.
Her father and other Cen family members indeed regarded Cen Qianhui as a political tool, but perhaps it was because Cen's father had a high self-esteem and looked down on the middle and lower-class families, while the upper-class families and the royal family also looked down on the Cen family.
Therefore, it just so happens that Cen Qianhui has always been so leisurely and happy.
...Of course, this is when he is not taken back to the Cen family by his father and others, and locked up to study the Three Cardinal Guidelines, the Five Constant Rules, the Four Books and the Five Classics.
As for the engagement with the second prince, Prince Qi, it was really nonsense.
…
"Your Highness, you...how did you fall in love with me?"
Cen Qianhui's eyes opened slightly, she didn't quite believe it.
The Prince of Zhenbei is surrounded by so many stunning beauties that he is envious of them all.
And the object of marriage proposed by His Majesty, Princess Taiping Zhao Lingrui, is even more famous as a top beauty in Jinling City. It is said that she is like a person who "looks at the city and then the country".
And Cen Qianhui’s appearance…
He has a petite figure, delicate facial features, and a pair of lively apricot eyes. He has a different kind of evil aura when he is dressed in scholar's men's clothing.
Although she can be regarded as a "beauty" with such an appearance, compared with these top-notch beauties, she can only pale in comparison.
Cen Qianhui suddenly felt that the man in front of her.
It's really extraordinary.
He is neither stupid nor smelly.
Although it is still unclear whether he only thinks with his lower body, but he is very good-looking.
Cen Qianhui seemed to suddenly understand——
Does the other party want to get the qualification to become a martial arts champion and use it as a starting point for his own pursuit?!!
"Hahaha, forget it, no more joking with Miss Cen."
Yan Wulu suddenly straightened up and chuckled, "...I was really exhausted at that time, so I gave up."
"...So, you don't have to apologize specifically. It's not because of your words."
When Cen Qianhui heard this, she secretly thought: "Lie! It must be a lie!"
She looked at the man in front of her who was much taller than her, and couldn't help but feel that this must be a hard-to-get trick!
So, when Yan Wulu was about to leave her, she didn't try to hold him back...
As a result, the other party really left.
Cen Qianhui froze on the spot for a long time.
Later, it was Yuan Che who entered the attic and found Cen Qianhui standing there, dumbfounded.
…
Cen Qianhui thinks this Yan Wulu is very interesting and special, different from other dirty men.
She doesn't care what the other party's reasons are for deliberately giving up to her in the competition.
She just felt that if she missed such a man, she might never meet anyone she likes again.
She wanted to give it a try, regardless of whether he was the prince's consort or not.
Love comes first!
…
At the same time, return to the carriage of Yan Mansion.
There is no one around.
Yan Wulu sat slumped alone in the carriage...
He thought to himself: "Damn it! I was actually deceived by a woman! I really thought that the other party had no choice but to become independent and self-reliant!"
"...I don't trust women anymore!"
"...Women, especially the more beautiful they are, the better they are at deceiving others!"
…
The next day.
The Daqian martial arts competition is still in progress.
Princess Taiping Zhao Lingrui also heard that in yesterday's martial arts competition, Yan Wulu failed to win the "Martial Arts Examination".
"It's really weird."
Zhao Lingrui was thinking in her heart.
She was wearing a bright red slim-fitting riding outfit at the moment, looking particularly beautiful and airy.
She paced back and forth, puzzled by the matter.
Zhao Lingrui always thought that with Yan Wulu's strength, Wu Zhuangyuan should be easily captured.
She was even ready to go to the martial arts finals to cheer for him.
It was not until later that Zhao Lingrui heard reports from people around her that Yan Wulu had voluntarily abstained from voting.
Moreover, under the situation that the overall situation was basically decided, the famous little witch of the Cen family gave up.
I heard that the little witch defeated Xia Hai's daughter Xia Jingjing today and won the top prize in martial arts.
The name "Cen Qianhui" became the first female martial arts champion in Daqian.
After Zhao Lingrui heard about it, she was furious for a while.
She immediately rode to Yan's house and asked Yan Wulu why he gave up? Why couldn't he win against a woman?
Yan Wulu was speechless for a moment.
At the beginning, he was indeed blinded by the other party's performance, and for a while he felt compassion.
But you can't tell this to Zhao Lingrui, right?
and……
Although Zhao Lingrui found it strange.
But fortunately, at least among all the men, Yan Wulu is the highest ranked.
Otherwise, Zhao Lingrui would really be unable to accept that the man he likes is not the best!
She suddenly wondered, did Yan Wulu fall in love with the little witch of the Cen family?
Yan Wulu denied it flatly.
"Beauties are indeed a gentleman's favorite, but not just any woman can catch my eye, Yan Wulu." Yan Wulu said, vowing.
"Don't you like each other?"
Zhao Lingrui murmured in her heart, "...But, didn't I hear that the overall situation was already decided at that time?"
She still had doubts.
But thinking about it, Yan Wulu shouldn't be fooled by the other party's beauty...
After all, Zhao Lingrui is quite confident that her appearance can completely defeat the little witch of the Cen family.
But just when Zhao Lingrui was about to ask again, she suddenly saw a familiar figure not far away...
Tall figure, dark blue clothes.
Although she is now dressed as a woman, the scene at Lan Yue Tower that day still lingers in Zhao Lingrui's mind, becoming a barb in her heart that she doesn't want to touch.
Zhao Lingrui's complexion changed slightly, she laughed, and changed her words——
"Hahaha, if that's the case, then I'll leave first."
"I'll come see you next time. By the way... Consort Wulu, you need to discipline your subordinates well. Don't, don't let her hit people randomly again!"
As he spoke, Zhao Lingrui rode away impatiently.
Yan Wulu took a look and found it a little funny.
Zhang Chunhua came to Yan Wulu's side, and together they watched the red silhouette quickly disappear into the sky.
"Chunhua, it seems that only you can subdue this 'Female Overlord of Jinling'."
"No, Chunhua is just relying on your protection, Crown Prince. In fact, you can do it, but Crown Prince, you are unwilling to take action."
Yan Wulu chuckled lightly when he heard the words and did not comment.
He just felt that he couldn't attack a woman, right? Moreover, she was a beautiful woman who was about to marry him.
For such a beautiful woman, Yan Wulu prefers to establish a dominant position between the two lovers on the bed.
"Have the affairs of the City Defense Department been settled?"
"Hui Shizi, yes."
"Okay." Yan Wulu said happily, "...let's start from the City Defense Department and completely defeat Zhao Lingcheng."
…
…
Last night, as if overnight, the temperature dropped sharply.
today.
The weather in Jinling City has reached the depth of winter.
It was extremely cold, with even a few snowflakes falling.
Yan Wulu wore a dark black wolf hair cloak with dark embroidered red patterns exclusive to Prince Zhenbei, which was particularly delicate and beautiful.
Perhaps because of the large wolf hair cloak, Yan Wulu, who was originally tall and slender, now looks much taller and more domineering.
A little less frivolous and friendly, a little more noble and intimidating.
Next to Yan Wulu is Princess Zhao Lingrui of Taiping, who is now the commander-in-chief of the Jinyi Division.
Zhao Lingrui was wearing a bright red cloak to keep warm from the cold, but the inner clothing was a "winter coat" with many hollows.
She occasionally moved, and her red cloak spread out, and Yan Wulu could see her snow-like shoulders and arms, delicate and beautiful collarbones, etc.
"Can this kind of clothing really keep out the cold?"
Yan Wulu was confused in his heart. "...But, it looks really good."
Zhao Lingrui and Yan Wulu rode horses side by side.
Behind them were the Zhenbei Cavalry Guards and the Jinyi Division patrolmen on horseback.
Regarding the engagement between the princess and the prince, it has been decided that it will be in half a month, which is an auspicious day in the zodiac and it is appropriate to get engaged.
Today, they came to "enhance their relationship" together.
Yes, it enhances feelings.
It is ironic to say that this young man and woman, before they had even met each other, had already been decided by the old emperor to get married to each other.
No one can disobey the emperor's order.
Even the princess and the prince are no exception.
However, they are not the least lucky.
In this Jinling city, there are many people like them who marry strangers they have never met because of their parents' orders.
Between Yan Wulu and Zhao Lingrui, there could even be an engagement and a series of grand and complicated etiquette ceremonies to extend the time and get to know each other.
But those people really have nothing.
Yan Wulu and Zhao Lingrui were riding horses.
Suddenly, I saw four or five big men dressed as Lanyuelou servants on the street, in a hidden alley, transporting a wooden cart towards the outside of Jinling City.
Those big men were walking in a hurry, sneaking around, and they looked even more sinister. They really didn't look like good people.
Especially after seeing Zhao Lingrui and other members of the Jinyi Division on patrol, their faces showed fear and they quickly turned around.
Princess Taiping Zhao Lingrui was considered an advanced warrior after all, and her spiritual senses were much stronger than those of ordinary people. She saw those big men who were moving strangely at a glance.
He immediately stopped and ordered his subordinate Jinyi Division Inspector to go and check.
Those big men originally wanted to escape, but they were all caught by Jinyi Division patrol officers.
The bamboo mats on the cart were opened.
Zhao Lingrui dismounted and walked forward, taking a quick glance at him. His originally arrogant face suddenly turned pale.
She even felt that her legs were weak, and she staggered and almost knelt down on the spot.
Fortunately, Yan Wulu, who had been by her side, helped her in time.
"Princess, be careful."
Yan Wulu took a step forward and spoke lightly but with concern.
His figure stood in front of Zhao Lingrui to prevent possible attacks and dangers.
After seeing the horrific situation inside the cart, Yan Wulu immediately reached out a hand to cover Zhao Lingrui's eyes, and continued in a gentlemanly manner -
"...The corpses in this cart are too bloody and ominous. Princess, you'd better not look at them."
Zhao Lingrui's body was trembling slightly and she was speechless.
She leaned into Yan Wulu's arms intentionally or unintentionally.
Yan Wulu also hugged him with one hand and stroked his back, making him feel absolutely reliable protection.
And looking back at the inside of the cart——
Under the dilapidated and rough bamboo mats, on the surface of the cart, there were several rotten flesh that could only vaguely identify human shapes, but no gender could be discerned.
Thinking about it, if it weren't for the support of its exposed white skeleton, these rotten meat would have been piled up, right?
Everyone present couldn't help but gasped when they saw this situation.
Even the Jinyi Division patrol officers, who have been dealing with criminals and bandits for a long time, rarely see such terrible situations... They couldn't help but tremble a little.
Yan Wulu just watched silently.
He waved slightly, and a Zhenbei mounted guard came forward to look inside the cart.
After the humanoid rotten flesh on the surface of several carts was lifted, underneath, there were several nearly half-naked female corpses, covered only by some broken rags.
The four words "dying to death" seem to be a bit too easy to describe.
Each of these female corpses had a beautiful figure, but they must have been beaten with blunt objects and their bodies were mutilated.
Most of their cheeks were as beautiful as half, but the other half were swollen and red like pomegranates.
If you didn't look at the intact half of their faces, you wouldn't even dare to confirm that these people would have been that beautiful in life.
Some female corpses had ulcers in their left eyes and vitreous fluid leaking out, making them look like flowing tears.
Some female corpses had all the bones of their fingers broken into pieces and the skin cracked, exposing the red muscles inside.
There are also some female corpses, and even the flesh is gone in some places.
The Zhenbei Cavalry Guards suppressed the nausea in their hearts. As battlefield warriors, they often dealt with such mutilated corpses.
The cavalry guard stretched out his hand slightly and pulled away a few pieces of clothing on a female corpse to check the situation. For a moment, he was so surprised that his eyes widened.
After restoring the clothes to their original state, the cavalry guard returned to Yan Wulu's side, bowed his head respectfully and said——
"Your Majesty, these corpses seem to be the female branch of Lanyue Tower, and they are all the same..."
They were all scars from a brutal beating.
There are also various other forms of abuse.
The whole body is the color of internal bleeding, and it is difficult to find the uninjured parts...
Because there are no specialized doctors here, we can only see the superficial conditions at present.
But just like that, it already made Yan Wulu feel a little...uncomfortable.
"First capture these beasts and bring them back to Jinyi Division's prison for interrogation."
Yan Wulu ordered coldly.
The patrol officers of the Jinyi Division and the Zhenbei cavalry guards took action together, tied up all the men in shackles, and took them away.
"Lanyue Tower?" Zhao Lingrui muttered to himself at this moment.
She suddenly looked at Yan Wulu, a little surprised, and whispered as if she was horrified: "...I heard that Brother Fourteen has a close relationship with the mistress of Lanyue Tower. I'm afraid this matter will not be related to
Are the fourteenth emperor brothers also related?"
When Yan Wulu heard this, he "comforted" and said——
"Princess, don't worry, with the Jinyi Department and the Punishment Department here, everything... will come to light."
