Gods: Starting with the Goblins

"Luo Dan, this princess is planning to attend a poetry meeting. The society held in the afternoon is probably about to start now. We finally met each other. It seems that you have nothing to do. How about we go and see it together?"

The princess coughed a few times and pretended to invite casually, which seemed a bit covert.

Rodan thought for a while and heard the little expectation in the princess's voice. After some hesitation, he finally did not choose to reject her.

"Okay, then it's better to be respectful than to obey."

The princess was not disgraced, she seemed very happy, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

"Well, since you don't have an invitation, just follow this princess."

Rodin had no objection to this, and the other two naturally had the same.

At this time, Pei Sheng quietly approached Luo Dan, looking like he was gossiping.

"Captain, I really didn't expect that we just met Hydrangea, and now we can come to participate in a high-society poetry gathering. Today is really an eye-opener. I don't know what this kind of poetry gathering for dignitaries is like. I’m really curious.”

After hearing this, Luo Dan just chuckled and poured cold water on him without hesitation.

"Today should be an unlucky day. I encountered a hydrangea to attract a bride, but it happened to fall on my head. I was rescued by a princess who had a vague relationship with me. Now we are still invited. Going to attend the poetry meeting, anyway, I have an ominous premonition that this time the poetry meeting will not be so peaceful, Pei Sheng, don’t think too well, it’s better to underestimate it.”

Pei Sheng originally felt good about himself and was very happy to participate in the poetry meeting.

When Leng Buding heard these words, his enthusiasm was extinguished.

"Ah? Captain, I'm not telling you, you're too disappointed, but you're right, the Poetry Club doesn't know what to do, so we should be more careful."

After hearing what Luo Dan said, Pei Sheng thought carefully about whether this was really the case.

I can’t say how good this trip was, but there were constant turmoils.

This time the poetry meeting will be good, but we still have to be careful.

While the two were whispering, they quickly arrived at the location.

When mentioning the poetry meeting, the princess also seemed quite proud.

"This poetry gathering has been held for a long time. Only those who have been specifically invited can appear here, and only those who follow the invitation can enter. There are not many people outside. If you want to go in and open your eyes, you must cherish this. You can take the opportunity to appreciate not only poems but also objects. There are many kinds of treasures. You can also take a look at them. These are all rare. "

Obviously, this is also a manifestation of high-ranking officials trying to promote themselves.

When the princess mentioned this matter, she was condescending.

After hearing this, Pei Sheng's eyes flashed with anticipation and curiosity. Being able to be so sought after by these nobles, he wondered what kind of strange things were inside.

However, Rodan's expression was not what the princess thought.

There was no envy, no curiosity, and no feeling of expectation.

Just peace, just the peace of letting the unknown take its course.

The princess slowly clenched her fists, a hint of unwillingness quietly rising in her heart.

It's like this again, it's like this every time, it seems that nothing can shake Luo Dan, and nothing can make Luo Dan tempted.

This time, the poem must open his eyes. The princess secretly determined in her heart that even if she brought out her own signature things, she would be able to impress him.

At this moment, the princess felt a raging fighting spirit.

Luo Dan seemed indifferent and seemed not very interested in these things.

He is indeed not interested. He cares more about cultivation than the poetry meeting.

The reason why I came here was just to return a favor to the princess.

It's impossible for the princess to help him on the front foot. He would be unkind on the back foot. That would be too conceited.

The princess walked at the front, and many people knew her and saluted her.

"See the princess, the princess is a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"

"The princess is here, the little ladies have been waiting for you for a long time."

"Princess, I haven't seen you for a few days, but it's wonderful to have you here."

"I don't know what poems the princess brought today. I took them out to tell the sisters to open their eyes. Only the princess's vision can make us admire them."

Everyone complimented the princess, held her in their hands, and their eyes fell on Luo Dan.

"Huh? Princess, where are the two young masters you are taking behind you? You have always taken care of others. Is it possible that you are also good at poetry and prose?"

The person who was aggressive and wanted to show off in front of the princess even snorted coldly, pointed at Luodan with one hand, and said loudly.

"It's rare to see a princess bring someone here. How about I compete with this young master and see how good the princess is with someone?"

Rodan:......

It felt like I was involved in a strange Shura field, but I couldn't explain it clearly.

When the man pointed at Rodan, the princess's face had already darkened.

"He is not an outsider, nor is he just someone I brought here. He is my friend. Today I specially brought him here to open his eyes."

The word "friend" shows the importance of Rodan in the princess's heart.

At this time, everyone's expressions changed. No one dared to make fun of Luo Dan.

"It turned out to be the princess's friend. As expected, Yushu Linfeng is a talented person."

"It's rare for a princess to bring friends here, so naturally we have to entertain them well."

The one who said he would compete before was now kneeling on the ground with a plop.

"Princess, princess, the younger one is guilty because the younger one is blind."

I thought he was just a pet of the princess, but he turned out to be her friend. Friends are different from ordinary relationships, so this man naturally didn't dare to act rashly.

Fortunately, the princess was in a good mood, so she didn't punish him.

But her face was still quite cold, even impatient.

"Okay, go down. I don't like people like you who don't have good eyesight around me."

Once these words came out, this man's future was basically cut off.

A person who was disliked by the princess would naturally not be accepted by anyone.

This man obviously realized this and his face turned pale, but compared to making the princess angry and even being punished by the princess, being disliked was a blessing in disguise.

He tried hard to suppress the panic in his heart and bowed obediently.

"Yes, Princess, I will withdraw now."

When he left, his back was sad. He had offended someone he shouldn't have offended. He was destined not to attend this poetry meeting. The connections he had made here with great difficulty would disappear one day.

"Alas..."

The man sighed deeply, and he had nowhere to express his sadness.

Before he left, he even blamed Luodan for everything and glared at him with resentment.

Like a young wife whose husband was seduced away by a vixen.

Luodan's mouth twitched, and he felt that he was really innocent.

It was obviously none of his business, but it was dragged down to his head in the end.

After the princess dealt with the man, she looked at Luodan on the side.

"Let's go, Luodan, I'll take you around."

Although Luodan was not very interested, he also gave the princess face.

"Thank you, princess."

In addition to Luodan, there was actually a large group of people following the princess.

Everyone walked and listened, and sometimes when they came across a leaf, a flower, or a lake, they would stop and recite poems and sing to the wind and the moon.

Luodan quietly walked to the back, treating himself as a passerby.

But not long after the princess left, a crossbow suddenly shot at her.

"Ah!"

The princess was standing at the front, and no one was protecting her. The crossbow shot through her shoulder, causing her to scream.

Hearing the scream, Luo Dan seemed to react, pushing everyone aside and rushing over.

"Princess, Princess!"

The princess' body had already fallen back limply, and he caught her with his quick eyes and hands.

"Princess, are you okay?"

While asking, he took out the wound medicine and applied it to her shoulder first.

But after a while, he found that the wound on her shoulder was black, and his eyes sank.

"The arrow is poisonous."

Who is it? What a cruel heart, this is to kill the princess.

He could only feed all his pills to the princess to temporarily keep her alive.

Then, the secret guards around the princess also rushed out and caught the murderer in time.

"Caught, the murderer is caught!"

Luo Dan put the princess on the ground and planned to go to the killer to find out.

But before he got close, he heard someone screaming again.

"Oh no, the assassin is going to commit suicide!"

Although the secret guards had quickly tried to stop him, the assassin still bit the poison in his mouth and committed suicide in an instant, leaving no clues.

When Luo Dan rushed over, the person had already died.

Seeing this, many people were angry, especially those who had been with the princess before, they almost suffered an unexpected disaster.

"Who is it? This is a poetry gathering that has been carefully screened. How could an assassin appear and hurt the princess's body? If something happens to the princess, all of us will be in trouble!"

"Yes, where did the assassin come from? It's too dangerous here. I want to go back. I don't want to stay in the poetry gathering anymore!"

"It's really terrible. This matter must be reported to the Dali Temple and must be thoroughly investigated. There is actually a killer who commits crimes in broad daylight and even targets the princess. It's really infuriating!"

These people are really angry. They participated in a good poetry gathering and encountered assassination.

Anyone who can come here is either rich or noble, and has a certain status.

They regard their lives as more important than anyone else, so they are naturally afraid and panic.

The crowd was in a mess, Luo Dan ignored them, and observed carefully. The killer found no trace, and finally could only sigh and give up temporarily.

"Damn, this killer did it very well, and there was no clue left on his body."

Cutting off the clues here means that no one knows who did it.

After a while, the doctor came over and diagnosed the princess as soon as possible.

But when he diagnosed the princess, his face turned pale.

"Not good, the arrow is poisonous, the princess has been poisoned, and the poison has now penetrated into the bone marrow, but this poison is too strong, and I have never heard of it, let alone how to detoxify the princess?"

When the old doctor said this, his forehead couldn't help sweating.

Now he is treating the princess, the famous princess.

If something goes wrong, everyone will be punished. But there is no other way. The old doctor can't think of any good solution for the time being, so he can only tell the truth.

As soon as the doctor said this, everyone's heart sank.

Some of the timid ones even collapsed to the ground with their legs weak.

"Why, how could this happen?"

"I was just participating in a poetry meeting. How could I meet an assassin if I was alive? I just happened to stab the princess..."

He could stab anyone, but why it was the princess, the most powerful person among them.

They could already predict the emperor's anger, who should be appeased, and who would be punished in the end. No one dared to think further.

Rodan had already reached the princess and stretched out his hand to feel her pulse.

Then, his eyes darkened.

Not good.

The princess was already dying. It seemed that the poison was very ferocious and was destined to be fatal.

Even though he was hanging with elixirs, he didn't know how long he could hang himself.

While he was thinking, the officials came.

When they saw the people in the government, many of them looked frightened and wanted to leave immediately, shirking the relationship and not taking any responsibility on themselves.

When the official arrived, they first asked where the assassin was.

Someone pointed to the body on the ground.

The officers and soldiers stepped forward to take a look, patted him with their knives, and their expressions turned ugly.

"Everyone is dead, how should I communicate with the higher authorities?"

The other brothers also thought about this, and their expressions turned pale.

"No matter what, you have to hand over a living person, what's the use of a dead person."

"What's more, it's a matter related to the princess. We must use this line to investigate. Once the assassin dies, the line will be interrupted."

The officers and soldiers discussed it, and their expressions became increasingly ugly.

Since it’s hard to do business with a dead person, let’s just choose a living person.

The officers and soldiers looked around, and many people avoided his gaze.

The officers and soldiers took a cursory look and their expressions darkened.

This poetry meeting is very unusual. Only those who are rich or noble can participate. Everyone present has an identity and background. If someone is caught who shouldn't be caught, not only will the princess's matter not be solved, but they themselves will also be in trouble. A fishy smell all over.

At this time, the officers and soldiers were in trouble, so they had to ask everyone as usual.

"When the princess was killed, did you notice anything was wrong? Is there any strange person or any strange movement today?"

Suddenly, someone had a flash of inspiration, thought of something, and reported it immediately.

"Yes, sir, there is a new face next to the princess today. The one squatting next to the princess. We have never seen him before. And it just happened to be today that the princess was killed. This is too much of a coincidence."

It makes sense for that person to say that. It's hard to offend anyone here. Naturally, there is only one Luo Dan left with unknown origins. Moreover, his report is well-founded. Luo Dan is indeed a little strange.

No one knew Luo Dan, nor did they know where he came from.

Inexplicably, he followed the princess, and inexplicably, he was regarded as a friend by the princess.

Then today, on the first day of the poetry festival, the princess was in danger.

Even a fool wouldn't believe it if he said there was no problem with him. (End of chapter)
