Mu Liang accepted the order indifferently, and so did Bai Xiaolou.
One of the two treated him indifferently, and the other was preoccupied, which made Li Feng feel a little embarrassed for a while. He felt that they were somewhat repelled by entering the palace.
The two got into their respective carriages, with Li Feng leading the way for them. It was so lively playing and playing along the way, as if they were just returning in triumph. The news quickly spread back to the general's palace, and several ladies heard about Mu Liang. After enjoying such treatment, I was jealous and frightened. Even if my master didn't believe Nalan Muliang's words, having such generous courtesy from the emperor would undoubtedly put pressure on the general. I'm afraid all of them would be in trouble!
…
Imperial Palace, Qianqing Palace
Thousands of palace maids filed in. On the golden trays in their hands, delicacies, delicacies from the mountains and seas were all available, and they were mixed with each other. Cups of wine, discs, silks and bamboos, drums and music were blaring. It was a peaceful and prosperous era, with singing and dancing.
Today's dinner, Emperor Liao said it was just a family banquet. Those who came here to cleanse themselves from Nalan Minghui were actually people who had thousands of connections with Mu Liang. Emperor Liao was sitting in the middle, wearing a black gold brocade on his left hand. Tuo Bo Kun, who has a cold and cold face, is hugging Ouyang Chong, who is wearing a red brocade robe and a mask of bright and flaming flowers.
Yelu Zongxiao and Nalan Minghui, who was dressed in military uniform and had a resolute and stern face, were sitting on one side.
Before Mu Liang and Bai Xiaolou arrived, Emperor Liao thought that Nalan Minghui was tired of traveling and traveling, so he agreed to have a dinner in advance and ate while waiting.
Nalan Minghui was dressed in silver armor. Leng Yi's military uniform revealed the unique fortitude of a military commander. The helmet was integrated with the armor on his body, and the cold silver light revealed a deep and heavy feeling.
The facial features like a knife, deep and three-dimensional, have experienced countless bloody storms at the border, and the baptism of flying sand and stones in the desert and Gobi desert. The young and handsome face in the past has been eroded by the years, leaving only the vicissitudes of experience, deep and restrained.
When Nalan Minghui was young, he was famous for his fiery temper. Now, with the passage of time, his temper and personality have changed a lot. He is more calm in his movements and is not as frivolous and unruly as he was when he was young.
He is close to fifty years old. Because of the vicissitudes of life on his face, he seems to be several years older than his actual age. His cheeks are dark and his pupils are bright. Sitting there is like a big mountain. He is unmoved even when eating and drinking. The unique rules of a man in the military camp are well-trained and well-trained. Nalan Minghui is famous for being strict in running the army. He always starts with himself at the border. He always eats what the soldiers eat, and how the soldiers train every day. , he, who is nearly fifty years old, also practices with him
His commander's camp is no more luxurious and spacious than other camps. They are all exactly the same. If it weren't for the guards guarding the door wearing purple armor, highlighting the status of the commander's guard, ordinary soldiers would not be able to tell which one is the commander's camp.
Nalan Minghui shared the joys and sorrows with the soldiers, and winning the hearts of the troops did not happen overnight. When guarding the border, his soldiers never once caused trouble and harm to the people. Winning the hearts of the people was a blessing for the Northern Liao Dynasty, and it was also a burning thing in the heart of the Liao Emperor at all times. A stone and water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. That's it.
"Minghui! You both know the emperor brother and Zong Xiao. This Persian prince came to Northern Liao for the first time and brought me many rare things from the ancient Persian country. Bai Xiaolou, the eldest son of Bai, will also come in later. Jing, let’s treat today as a family banquet. Don’t be constrained. You also miss your daughter, so I made my own decision and asked Li Feng to tell Nalan Muliang to come to the palace to reunite with you and share the family relationship.”
After Emperor Liao finished speaking, his eyes quickly scanned the crowd.
Tuo Bokun held the wine glass, calmly, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.
Yelu Zongxiao lowered his eyes and said nothing, his expression cold.
Nalan Minghui only tilted his head slightly, and could not see any expression of joy or anger. Only when Ouyang Chong heard Mu Liang's name, his eyes suddenly lit up, his pupils were shining, and his amber eyes were like those of beasts.
There are dormant dangers, and there are also dark streams of light that ordinary people cannot reach. He grinned, pushed the beauties around him left and right, smacked his mouth, and said leisurely,
"Your Majesty, you are so unhappy! You didn't tell me early that Beauty Liang was coming, so I asked this prince to tidy up. I don't know if the way I dress today is in line with Beauty Liang's wishes... My future father-in-law, please take a look.
, how does this prince’s outfit look like? Is it worthy of your great beauty?”
Ouyang Chong's words made Tuobo Kun narrow his eyes, and his pupils suddenly burst out with a strong evil spirit.
Emperor Liao frowned slightly and said calmly, "The prince of Persia likes to joke that Nalan Muliang has been engaged to my third child for a long time. This is known to the world. What you say is a good name for a woman from a good family."
Disregarding integrity! Disregarding royal prestige! Prince of Persia, don’t talk nonsense!!”
Emperor Liao's words were neither serious nor serious. He found the opportunity to throw out the engagement just to wait for Nalan Minghui to answer. Emperor Liao knew very well that Nalan Minghui knew everything about what happened in Kyoto. Now it depends on his attitude!
Nalan Minghui put down his wine glass and sat there with his back straightened. He remained in this same posture from beginning to end and never changed it.
"The Emperor is in love. As far as I know, everyone knows that my daughter's blood was splashed in the hall on the day of her wedding! And since His Highness has his heart, I don't want to put any burden on His Majesty! Regarding this engagement, since there has never been any three-blessing of heaven and earth
, Naturally, whether the man is unmarried or the woman is unmarried, whether there is an engagement or not, is just a word from the emperor!"
Nalan Minghui's tone was indifferent, and every word pierced Yelv Zongxiao's heart. He clearly meant to tell Yelu Zongxiao that as soon as Emperor Liao opened his mouth, Nalan Minghui would naturally agree to terminate the engagement!
Tuobo Kun's lips slightly curved into a cold and arrogant arc, and his eyes were deep and dark. Once the little woman's engagement was terminated, it would be even more impossible to escape from his grasp.
Emperor Liao was in a dilemma, but he thought so, which was the best outcome. However, Nalan Minghui had learned to be smart over the years, and in the end he kicked the ball to him.
For the present plan, the engagement was broken off first. When the time comes, whether Ouyang Chong or Bai Xiaolou wants to fight for Nalan Muliang, it will have nothing to do with the Northern Liao royal family.
"My future father-in-law is really knowledgeable! My father-in-law, my son-in-law formally pays homage to my father-in-law again!" Ouyang Chong finished speaking, and King Tuo had already dropped the cup.
Yelu Zongxiao seemed to be sitting there quietly, but the big hands under his sleeves had clenched his fists, and his lowered eyes did not know how much blood and blood was hidden.
In the midst of such tension, Nalan Minghui straightened his back, looked cold, and had a righteous and awe-inspiring temperament that was not afraid of danger.
"My little girl has not been with me since she was a child. She has neglected to care about me for so many years. People in Kyoto have spoken fearfully and there has been a lot of uproar, which makes me feel guilty. I came back this time and deliberately took my little girl away. Although the environment at the border is difficult and not as lively and prosperous as Kyoto, but in my later years
On this occasion, I just want to keep this girl by my side, and I have nothing else to ask for.”
As soon as Nalan Minghui said these words, the expressions on everyone's faces changed drastically.
Tuobo Kun Tongren stared coldly at the cup that he had smashed on the ground, as if the cup was now Ouyang Chong's body, and it would be best if it was broken into thousands of pieces.
Ouyang Chong's eyes widened, looking like he was greatly surprised.
"I said, General Nalan, are you out of your mind? You want to take such a beautiful woman like a flower to the border to the border? The border is exposed to the wind and sun all day long.
After five years, this prince has not been able to recognize what the beauty Liang looks like? No, no, no! If you want to take her away, step on me first! Come on!"
Ouyang Chong said, walked straight out and sat on the ground in the middle
Nalan Minghui frowned lightly and glanced deeply at Tuo Bo Kun. Tuo Bo Kun's pupils were as dark as night, but there was bright and persistent persistence in his eyes. Nalan Minghui didn't know much about this young king of Northern Liao.
, but I have to admit that Nalan Minghui once lost to Tuobo Kun in the battle of maneuvering troops to win a thousand miles, and he was convinced of the defeat.
"Wouldn't it be embarrassing for me if the Persian prince did this? How could I step on the prince's body and walk back to the border? But I have made up my mind. I have missed too much, and the only thing that can make up for it is this one chance. Even if the border is bloody,
It’s okay, those are my daughters! I will do my best to protect her and never let her suffer any harm or abuse!"
Nalan Minghui was also famous for his stubborn temper. If he really became stubborn, it would give Emperor Liao a headache.
Tuobo Kun, who had been silent all this time, frowned and put the new cup brought by Silver Fox into his hand. He gently squeezed the cup with his long and icy fingers. The white jade cup exuded a soft porcelain white light, reflecting the light at this moment.
What was in his eyes was a cold and frightening condensed evil aura.
"If the old general really cares about her, why hasn't he noticed anything strange for so many years? Even his father may not be qualified to take her away! I spent some time with Nalan Muliang in the Royal Academy. He can be said to be an old general.
We also need to get to know her! If we really want to discuss this qualification, then I have many times more qualifications than the old general!"
After Tuo Bokun finished speaking, his fingers suddenly tightened his grip on the white jade cup, just like his determined and firm heart at this moment.
Bang! Emperor Liao slapped the armrest of the dragon chair and got up in anger
"Do you still have me in your eyes? Even if you are the prince of Persia, you can't show off your power and make judgments in my Jinluan Palace!" Emperor Liao couldn't bear Ouyang Chong anymore.
