Cang Ri Qing Lan

Qingling lost his composure and rushed out of the bath, this is the first time he has seen this dark guard since he followed King Ni.

He didn't have time to think about the reason, under the darkened face of his master, he quickly replied,

"Subordinates are still investigating. Right now, it looks like His Royal Highness the Prince."

"……It's him."

Qingling quickly regained his composure. Since the news was released on purpose, it was not because of a major event that could not be concealed.

But, what is the purpose of the prince to startle the snake?Did he not want Cang Lan to come to Wangcheng, or did he force him to show up?

If it's the latter, could it be that Cang Lan has already arrived at the Royal City...?

He draped the clothes on his body and walked down the stone steps of the bathing pool. The maid who was waiting at the bottom had already stepped forward to serve and dress.

The thin undershirt was tied loosely around the waist, outlining the slender figure of the man, and the white chest at the front was faintly visible, seductive, and attracted several young maids to blush.

However, the face that is as beautiful as jade looks gentle and noble, which makes people dare not be profane. The two diametrically opposed temperaments are strangely blended together, compared to the five big and three thick men in Jingguo, they are like cloud mud.

But no matter how tempted they are, they dare not take half a step beyond the threshold.

Not to mention the intoxicating demeanor that can't be expected, this man is still a well-known King Ren.For the little servant girl, even if she could be his maidservant, it was a delusion she couldn't ask for, so she could only wait on her carefully, hoping to win the favor of her master.

It's a pity that His Royal Highness Renwang Quanquan didn't keep the handmaidens' eyebrows affectionate.

He sat on the couch calmly, letting the maid wipe his wet black hair, still thinking about the news he just got.

With mixed feelings of sorrow and joy, the voice of the steward of the palace came from the outside,

"Your Highness, Lord Shang sent someone to send an invitation."

"Bring it in."

Qingling said calmly as usual.

Merchants send invitations from time to time, most of which are for him to entertain.

After receiving the post from the maid, the agreed time this time is actually tonight, completely treating him as a chess piece that is always on hand.

Qingling was coldly exposed to the sun, so that's fine, he now also hopes that the merchants will continue to look down on him like this.

However, the merchant's arrangement this time was completely uninformed in advance. What is the reason?

And the location of the banquet...how could it be such a coincidence...?

He pinched the post for careful consideration, and suddenly realized that the touch on the back was very weird.

Turning it over smoothly, there is a black wood that is neither gold nor jade behind it, the whole body is shiny, and there is a cursory line, "Yunzhuang East welcomes you."

"Get ready to drive."

Qingling no longer hesitated, even if there was something strange about the merchant's invitation, this wooden sign also made him feel more at ease.

It looks like a wooden sign that complies with the content of the invitation, but in fact it has nothing to do with the merchant, it is the place where he went to make an appointment at night - Yunzhuang sent it out, and it is the unique invitation card of the owner of Yunzhuang.

The above indicated that he knew that he would go to Yunzhuang for a banquet, so at least he wouldn't have to worry about being plotted against.

Because Yunzhuang, like Jinghualou, is one of the strongholds Cang Lan buried in Jingguo through Chen Hai.

Although Jinghualou does not have Jinghua, Yunzhuang has Yunzhuang.

Of course, the clouds are in the sky.

From the water pavilions built on the lake, through the hunting grounds turned into small forests by the lake, to the horse farms surrounded by wooden fences that are so far away that they cannot be seen, all are within the scope of Yunzhuang's management.

In the daytime, besides the verdant grassland, the clouds in the sky are the most conspicuous.

It's just that people don't come to see the clouds.

In addition to riding, shooting, hunting, and polo wrestling, the most indispensable is actually the beauty.

Beautiful women are always the motivation for men to spend a lot of money. The east side of Yunzhuang happens to be this kind of place that attracts men. It is a different scene at night.

The small lake is like a pearl on the vast grassland. The pavilions beside the lake are very lively, and the lobby and private rooms are brightly lit.

During the period, the aroma of wine is tangy, various delicacies are dazzling, the wine makes laughter endless, and some people even impromptu dance when the wine is hot.

It may be as fragrant and sweet as musk deer or orchid, and the silk and bamboo songs are fluttering and quiet.

In the waterside pavilion on the lake, a vigorous brazier is burning, and the exotic Majesty dances gracefully.

They swayed their light and soft bodies, projected light and shadow, accompanied by cheerful music, evoking bursts of noise...

"There are places like this in Wangcheng."

Qingling was led to a relatively secluded building, and he was slightly surprised to see the jubilation in front of him from upstairs.

He knew about Yunzhuang, but he didn't like these drunken places, and this was his first time here.

The guards behind were also stunned. Not everyone can come to such a flashy place, thanks to the fact that so many people can sell money here!

Someone muttered involuntarily,

"The wealth of the owner of Yunzhuang may not be worse than that of a businessman."

so best.

Qingling said in his heart, but his face remained calm, he just silently followed the servant leading the way towards the inside.

Now there are businessmen among the guards around him, and he doesn't want people to find out that he has any connection with the owner of Yunzhuang.Moreover, the merchant asked him to come to this kind of place several times, but nothing good happened...

Qingling paid attention to herself, halfway through, she suddenly stopped——

Someone was waiting in front of the corridor, apparently waiting for him.

The guards behind him were shocked, and when they saw clearly, their expressions changed!

There are several dignified warriors!

They stand or lean, standing in the middle of the road as if there is no one else around, all of them have a sharp and solid aura!

Jing State has always attached great importance to martial arts. For nomadic peoples on the grasslands, a strong physique is the basis for long-distance migration. The leader of a tribe is often a warrior selected in armed battles.

Although they are influenced by the North and South countries because of their business dealings, people with extreme force are still respected.

In the country of Jing, most of these people trust their horses freely, and sometimes join caravans to travel around at will, and then leave without saying goodbye.Or live with a group of herdsmen for water and grass, and then become the patron saint of a tribe.Even high-ranking officials and dignitaries will give them three points of courtesy when they meet them.

Judging by the manners of these people, it is clear that they are such hard-to-find warriors!

This kind of person is very difficult to deal with in every sense, and force alone can stop a hundred.A few people popped up for no reason at the moment, how can we not change the color of the guards?

But they have responsibilities, so they can only go all out to get to Qingling.

Several guards glanced at each other, trying to think of a way to find out the purpose of the other party's visit, when a swordsman came forward and crossed his hands,

"Your Highness Ren Wang, don't blame me, the master ordered me to come and escort him."

As soon as this remark came out, the suffocated guard was dumbfounded.

Master?Who has such a big face?

They all swallowed their saliva and turned their heads to look at Qingling behind them, hoping to get an answer.

However, His Royal Highness Niwang at this moment made them even more unable to see through——

"It's work."

Qingling only slightly raised his hand to answer, calm and composed, without asking any more questions.

This frank response obviously made the warriors in front of him greatly admired. They bowed and bowed, then stepped back respectfully, and waited for him to pass by before moving up to catch up.

And the few guards who were almost fixed in place walked at the end in fear and mist.

It's not that Qingling doesn't want to ask, it's just that this is Chen Hai's business, and he believes that the other party will not allow him to be in danger. If these people are enemies and not friends, they will definitely warn them.

But even so, he was confident, the moment he walked into the hall, his color changed slightly.

There was no one else inside, only Qing Ling's brother, and their expressions were exactly the same, staring at Qing Ling at the door in surprise.

King Jing is lustful and has many heirs, among which Qingling is the youngest.

Although his elder brothers are also descended from low-status mothers and concubines, they are naturally a head higher than Qingling, who can't even be mentioned in the past.

What's more, Qingling doesn't look like King Jing at all. Many people think that his origin is unknown, and those who depend on the crown prince and hope to enjoy wealth in the future are even more jealous of him.

Such thoughts existed in the hall, so they quickly put on a look of disgust after being surprised, and I don't know who screamed,

"It's really bad luck. Didn't it mean that this place is comparable to Jiuxiaotian Palace? How can anyone come here?"

This remark caused a few laughs.

Amidst the laughter, Qingling had finished inspecting the hall lightly, most of the princes present were not taken seriously, the Ninth Prince sitting at the top was Ye Hongyu, he could be regarded as the one who spoke a lot among these people.

Seeing the mocking expression on his face, he stood up and stopped everyone,

"How can you underestimate people so much, just like the lice on the lion's back, that kind of inconspicuous and hateful thing, you can't do anything about him."

As he spoke, he whispered to the servant who led Qingling into the gate,

"There are no empty seats in the hall, add one behind me for him."

His tone was gentle, but his content was mean and vicious. He not only compared Qingling to a louse, but also bluntly said that there is no place for Qingling in the hall, and asked the other party to sit in the seat of a servant, so as to play and humiliate.

Ye Hongyu was ten years older than Qingling. His mother came from a large tribe in the grassland, and he thought he had some talents. Even if he was not as good as the crown prince who would become King Jing, he still had the capital to be a glorious life.

But there was Ye Qingling, who was obviously powerless and had an ambiguous identity, but he got the title of prince one step ahead of him, and there was a hint of competition for the position!

Being a head taller by a bastard, how can it not make him uncomfortable!

Qingling naturally knew the crux of the problem, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and he didn't say anything, just listened to the servant who led the way and answered,

"His Highness Nine has misunderstood, and our Zhuangwan dare not fall into such fallacies. His Highness Renwang is the host and guest, and the host is set up for His Royal Highness Renwang."

As he spoke, he slapped Qing Ling and stepped aside.

"You mean we are accompanying him?!"

Ye Hongyu's face darkened when he heard the words, and he immediately asked in a bad tone, completely no longer the eloquent and complacent look just now.

The servant didn't even think about it right now,

"Your Highness Ninth Prince, Shengming, this matter is not up to a villain, and a villain would never dare to say such a thing."

He kept making bows as he said, he didn't look a bit afraid, but he was so slippery that Ye Hongyu couldn't hold him.

Qingling looked at this scene indifferently, his mind was already turning a thousand times.

As the host, the merchant arrived late, leaving him alone with these imperial brothers, and did not set up a seat. If this servant hadn't been instructed to defend himself, there would have been a lot of ridicule and ridicule.

Such an arrangement does not allow him to win people's hearts, but pushes him to the point of the knife.

Do you want their brother to be more powerful, or do you want him to fully understand that he must obey the merchant?

Should have both.

He came to a conclusion, pulled out a smile, and walked slowly towards the chief seat.

Seeing this, Ye Hongyu, who was frozen beside him, would not give up.Just about to turn around and target Qingling again, when he turned his head and saw several warriors following him in, he couldn't say a word immediately.

What's happening here?

When will this wild species be able to provoke rebellious warriors? !There are still a few people!

Others didn't know, but he knew two of them. One had migrated with his mother's clan, and the whole clan respected this person very much!

The other one is Prime Minister You's honored guest!

But didn't the right minister support His Highness the Crown Prince?how……

Ye Hongyu was stared at by a few pairs of naked eyes, he only felt that his mind was confused and his back was chilled, and he almost didn't want to back away.

So he just stood there, watching Qingling walk past him, then lifted his green robe very gracefully, and sat on the main seat.

Ye Hongyu's forehead began to ooze cold sweat. He dared to provoke Qingling because he knew that Qingling was the puppet of the merchant, but he didn't know that the power of this puppet could also be greater than himself! ?

Staring blankly at the green hills on the steps, the warriors stood behind King Ren, whose natural and noble demeanor made Ye Hongyu feel a little in awe.

Prime Minister Zuo Shang Yue came late, and when he walked into the hall, he was obviously very surprised.

He invited these princes to a banquet today. Firstly, he wanted to win over these people in the name of merchants rather than King Ren, so as to prepare for the final action; , He is nothing without the merchant, and then he comes forward to end it, which is a routine slap and date.

This trick has been tried and tested.

□The servant who came out pointed out that he would never dare to go east, and he could do whatever he wanted.

But this time there seems to be something wrong...

Shang Yue looked at Qing Ling who was naturally sitting in the upper position, but couldn't tell what was wrong.

Then he looked around at the princes around him, and he became more and more confused after suddenly awakening, how did this King Ren subdue his brothers?

Long before Shang Yue entered the hall, several warriors retreated from the main seat, Qing Ling was not surprised by the prime minister's reaction at all.

After affirming his previous judgment on Shang Yue's intentions, he couldn't help but doubt whether the person secretly instructing was Chen Hai.

He didn't think that Chen Hai would take such pains to help himself, so...

With a smile on Qingling's face, he seemed to be paying attention to Shang Yue's entertainment, but he repeatedly denied a certain guess in his heart.While he was restless, a lazy teaser came from behind,

"It's not easy to say a few words to you."

Hearing that the unique tone came from someone, Qing Ling almost jumped up.

Trying to relax, he confirmed that the guards had retreated to the corner of the hall, and then he kept his calm expression and turned his head slightly.

Beside him, the servant who led him in changed at some point, and he winked at ease, the silver pupils of his eyes were clear at a glance.

"Cang..."

Qingling began to rejoice that he was more and more able to control his expression, and he turned his head back. His lowered voice was urgent and fast, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was panicked.

"Your Majesty! How can you come here!?"
