It is said that a thousand miles of Jiangling can be returned in one day, and it is faster to travel by water than by land, and it only takes one day for Jiangling to go down the river to Baling.Princess Xianning, Dou Tu and others rested on the boat, changed into clean clothes, and slept for a long time.It was already midnight when Chu Yan woke up, and Qing Nu had already prepared food and brought it to her.

"Has Naruto woke up?" Chu Yan asked Qingnu after wiping his mouth after eating.

Qing Nu cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks, raised his head and said, "I'm awake, I've eaten my meal. Mr. Dou is watching the stars on the splint with him."

Chu Yan stood up happily and said: "Qingnu, let's go and see!" Bypassing the food table, he was about to walk out of the cabin.

But Qing Nu hesitated, looking melancholy and depressed, hesitant to speak.When Chu Yan walked to the door, he found that Qing Nu hadn't followed her. Looking back, she seemed to have something to say, and asked strangely, "What's wrong with you?"

Qingnu weighed it up, gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Princess, the origin of these two people is unknown, please don't get too close to them."

Hearing this, Chu Yan fell silent, started to walk around the room unconsciously, stopped after a long time, and said seriously: "Qingnu, do you not like consultants asking me for an official? I know their origin is unknown, but the origin So what? There are a lot of people with unknown origins in Changsha, so there are two of them. If you think that these two men have evil intentions and want to use me to ask for an official, thinking that I can't see through their problems, you Don't worry about it. Although I like to mess around, I have been in the palace for so many years, so I don't have the eyesight to justify it."

"Well——" Chu Yan elongated his tone, and while organizing his thoughts, he explained, "But I agreed to ask them for an official because of my consideration. You see, they actually did not hide their intention to seek an official. It's honest and upright, but it's just a little utilitarian. And men, how can there be no weaknesses, they are really the kind of saints who have no desires and no desires, and I can't control them. Besides, I don't decide to apply for an official based on my temper , but you have also seen that Naruto is talented and has an outstanding temperament, not to mention that he is born in a scholarly family and must be of high moral character, but his martial arts and courage, how can he not be worthy of a small official?"

Seeing that Qing Nu was still worried, she couldn't help laughing and said, "Oh, even if I don't recommend it, do you think Naruto will not be discovered and appreciated by the king? With others who spend time on their own abilities, they will still stand out from some mediocrities in the end." , why don't I give him favor now, hold him in the palm of my hand, and make him appreciate me." Patting Qing Nu on the shoulder, she said righteously, "Didn't your majesty always tell us that there is no talent that can't be used, There are only stupid kings who don’t know how to use it. I recommend it to the king, so it’s up to you whether to use it or not!”

Even though he said so, Chu Yan already had a winning ticket in his heart, and there was nothing she couldn't settle. It was just a recommendation for someone to go to Changsha Guoting Wei's Mansion. Could it be that her elder brother would reject her face?

However, Qing Nu sighed and said: "Princess, Qing Nu doesn't mean that. The princess is smart, the king is wise, and he has natural insight. But Qing Nu is saying that Mr. Qu and Miss Song have a marriage contract. According to the matchmaker, although Mr. Qu doesn't have much affection for Ms. Song, Ms. Song has no major faults, you and Ms. Song are still friends, you should avoid suspicion, and don't make people criticize you."

Speaking of this, Chu Yan drooped his shoulders, and said with a frustrated face: "I don't want to either. But people like him, you see he is so good-looking, both civil and military, courageous, and very gentle with girls... Oh, that's not what I want to say." She raised her head and pouted and said aggrievedly, "My princess didn't let him divorce Azhi immediately, so I already gave Azhi a lot of face, okay? Change someone else, I'm in Changsha Kingdom No one said anything about robbing a civilian husband, and it's not that I haven't done this before, which shows that I am sincere to Mingzhi. Do you understand? What is sincerity?"

Qing Nu pursed her lips and wanted to know, but Chu Yan didn't give her a chance to speak, and said impatiently: "You must not understand! Anyway, Ah Zhi doesn't like him, right? If Ah Zhi likes him, I just..." I was about to say give up on him, but I felt guilty that I would not give up so easily, so I had to laugh a few times, and changed the subject, "In short, this man is determined by the county. Anyway, I lack one Jun Ma, he is not married and I am not married, there is nothing wrong with that."

"Can……"

"But what's the matter!" Chu Yan said displeased, "I didn't force him to divorce his wife now. If it can't be done, then—then I'll be a flat wife. Azhi and I are good friends, following Ehuang Nvying's example. Just marry Mingzhi."

Qing Nu reminded: "Princess, before you came to Jiangling, you said that the county horse you are looking for must only have you as a wife and cannot take concubines."

"Cough," Chu Yan struggled for a moment, unable to overturn what he had said, so he could only mumble, "In short, you don't have to worry about it. If you talk too much, the princess will just marry you off! Let you talk about it every day like a king. I think Shen Zhonglang is young, promising and good-looking, so he is worthy of you."

"Shen Zhonglang... At the beginning, the king mentioned to the princess that he wanted him to be a county horse."

Chu Yan glared at her, and said angrily: "I don't care, you are not allowed to stop me, or I will really marry you to Shen Yan!"

"...Here." Qing Nu bowed.

Princess Xianning and Dou Tu were chatting on the deck, and the sound of the surrounding river waves crashed in the silent night. Dou Tu found a fishing rod from an unknown corner in the cabin, hung up the bait and waited leisurely for the fish to take the bait.As the boat was moving, no fish dared to come and bite the hook. Dou Tu didn't care much and enjoyed himself.

"What did you do to her?" Princess Xianning looked up at the twinkling stars in the sky.The night sky is mysterious and attractive. Countless people have been fascinated by it for thousands of years, studying what it is and what it has, hoping to understand the will of heaven.

Dou Tu's drawn-out tone: "Well——"

"Putting out the seedlings to encourage them to grow?"

"Uh..." Dou Tu retorted in disapproval, "This is turning stone into gold."

"So what did you say?"

"Just tell her, let her work hard not to hold back the lord." Dou Tu said indifferently, "I am bold, I don't know if there is a sentence that should be said or not."

"Inappropriate."

"The minister must say that the lord always knows the priorities, but this is the only thing that the lord really thinks that the lord has done a poor job. I remember how the lord was not moved by foreign objects when he practiced the sword, even though the sword master made the lord the most. The favorite dress is roasted on the fire, and the lord has never been shaken, so he can complete the test of the sword master. The lord said that the most powerful person in the world is not a weapon, but a wave of heart. The lord has never done it since he was a child. Anything that doesn't make sense, because you think every step will get you closer to what you want."

Dou Tu looked at the ups and downs, sometimes being swallowed by the fish float, the waves surged, and the fish float appeared. He watched this phenomenon with great interest, and continued in his mouth: "I actually like Miss Song's personality very much. , if the lord is just a boudoir lady who has no ideals and is content with the status quo, Miss Song's temperament will make the minister more at ease. Moreover, Miss Song is so cute, she will get angry and shy if you tease her, like a child, throwing all emotions away It all revealed that there is a kind of equality and closeness to everyone, innocent and unscrupulous, such a person is very fond of. But..." He looked up at Princess Xianning's cold side face bathed in the moonlight, his eyes gradually faded away. Bing Leng, "She shouldn't be someone who can influence the lord's decision. She has done things that even His Majesty can't do. I'm afraid the lord himself didn't realize that the lord has been influenced by her and learned to care about useless people. Doing meaningless things and putting yourself in danger."

Dou Tu's eyes flickered, and there was a smile on his face, but the smile didn't reach his eyes: "My lord, you allow yourself to make mistakes. You can save those villagers, because those villagers are your people, you have to save them to deceive me, It can also be said that those officers and soldiers committed the crime of deceiving the emperor by using the people as thieves, and you must maintain the dignity of the court and enforce justice. But are you really doing it for these two reasons?" He straightened up, aggressive and almost rude She said, "You are not at all! You are because you heard her scold you! You are because she lost her mind and said that you have no heart, so you were provoked to fight in a rage!"

Princess Xianning remained silent, as if he didn't listen to his accusations at all.The night wind blew past, making her hair flutter, fluttering under the moon, and the corners of her clothes swaying slightly, shattering the light in her eyes.She lowered her head and looked at Dou Tu, in Dou Tu's sharp eyes, she was calm and gentle.

"My lord, killing four hundred thieves can save a thousand people. You think it is worthwhile, but if you fail unfortunately, who will come to save the [-] million people in the world? Besides, your original intention is to borrow troops to wipe out this group of people." Thief, this is obviously the best way, you have chosen the most despicable strategy, if you hadn't withdrawn at the end, the minister would have gnashed his teeth and scolded the lord for being an idiot!"

Princess Xianning said indifferently: "Have you finished?"

Dou Tu choked, sat back, and resumed his laziness, as if he was so excited just now that he wanted to point at Princess Xianning and yell at her—as if he wasn't the one who had already done so.He took a sip of wine resentfully, and continued his great fishing business.

"Can you catch fish?" Princess Xianning suddenly asked an irrelevant question.

"Why not?" Dou Tu snorted, "I have a hook and a bait. Jiang Taigong can catch Zhou Wenwang's stupid fish with a straight hook, why can't I catch it?"

"The wind and waves are too strong and the boat is moving. No matter how delicious your bait is, it will not take the bait." Princess Xianning smiled lightly. One is stupid. There are tens of thousands of people in the world. What you want me to save are thousands of people, and those villagers are also thousands of people. What's the use of taking revenge after they're dead? Dou Tu, although I'm taking risks, I know that things can't be done and I will withdraw, but when I have the opportunity to save one of the villagers from dying, I won't give up on them, because they I am also a member of the world. For me, there is no difference. It is equally important. You can accuse me of being impulsive, but I don’t think I was wrong when I rushed out. Today I will give up on the villagers because of the people of the world, and I will give up because of the people of the world tomorrow Are you, such a person, really the lord you want to be loyal to?"

"If the sacrificial minister alone can serve the world, I will not hesitate to ask my lord to sacrifice me!" Dou Tu frowned, vowing.

"So you are the counselor, and I am the lord."
