Cang Ri Qing Lan

In the lobby, Cang Lan leaned on the back of the chair next to the table on the right, smiling calmly, but it made people feel a strange majesty and remoteness.

Standing in the shadow behind Cang Lan, Xing Ye silently paid attention to the people who were seated one by one. When he saw the Zhou Mu of Zezhou who communicated with Lingzhou, he was already wary. He probably knew that these people were all dignitaries.All the prefectures actually secretly sent people, and apparently they were only waiting for Cang Lan's arrival.Will he really underestimate Ge Hong this time... The corner of Xing Ye's eyes swept across the empty main table and the chief left opposite, and his eyes fell on Cang Lan again.

Cang Lan was also looking at these people, bowing her head and saluting each other from time to time, but she was thinking of something completely different.

Now that danger is everywhere, he regrets bringing Yiyan to Lingzhou. Compared with Ge Hong, Hao Lianyuya makes him feel more troublesome.That person has become more and more aggressive lately, facing his earnestness in all kinds of means, turning his face to others, but he will not show mercy at all, leaving him with Yiyan...

Naturally, he would not have guessed that Cang Lan was wandering in the sky. Ge Hong waited for the guests to sit down, stood in front of the main table, waved his hand, stopped the sound of drums and said loudly,

"It's really a great joy to invite you all here today," he paused, and then slowly said again when everyone's eyes were focused,

"The Kingdom of Jing wants to form an alliance with us, and King Jing's special envoy His Royal Highness King Ren has brought the letter of alliance."

Cang Lan came back to her senses, it seemed that when she was busy, others were not idle—this Mr. Ge had the backing of Jing Guo, so he dared to provoke him so blatantly.

Looking around the hall without changing his smile, everyone met his eyes, some looked surprised, and some immediately lowered their eyes.

There was a sudden silence in the hall, but the silence only lasted for a moment. Mu Huanxin of Wei Zezhou stood up and continued with a voice like a bell,

"If this happens, it will be a once-in-a-lifetime event! Why don't you invite Prince Ren to form this alliance immediately?"

"That's exactly what I mean, what do you think?"

Hearing Nuo Nuo's continuous voice, everyone was flirting with each other but no one objected, Ge Hong clapped his hands immediately, and only heard a chants,

"His Royal Highness King Ren is here!"

Lowering her eyes, for a moment, Cang Lan looked at the entrance of the hall with a smile again.

Dressed in Tsing Yi appeared in front of the curtain.

Silver dark floral brocade, with silk thread piping on the collar end and cuffs, set off Qingling Shi Shiran's indescribable elegance.At this moment, he is a true gentleman like jade, as sharp as a knife, calm and gentle, and he is not at all ashamed of being a king of benevolence.

"His Royal Highness, please." Ge Hong raised his hand towards the seat on the left.

Surrounded by several swordsmen, Qing Ling came slowly to the table and stood still, looked around, his eyes stopped on Cang Lan, then bowed his body with lowered eyebrows, graceful.

Cang Lan smiled, nodded slightly, looked at Qingling calmly and sat down.Silently watching the behavior of the two as if they had never met each other, a trace of complexity flashed across Xing Ye's face, and he heard Ge Hong say:

"Since you happen to be the host, you should not swear an oath on behalf of the states. What do you think?"

The words have come to this point, and the intention to hold the leader's ear can be said to be obvious. As soon as Ge Hong's voice fell, the eunuch immediately echoed.

People from other states were silent with pale faces, and after a while, they all cast their eyes on Cang Lan again.Everyone understands that today's announcement is actually aimed at Prince Yi, who is in the limelight, and is fighting for the position of the commanding states. Now that the prince is alone in Lingzhou, he may have to give in.

Sensing the gazes from all around, Cang Lan smiled, but she was facing Qing Ling opposite,

"What does His Royal Highness think?"

His complexion changed in an instant, Qingling looked at Cang Lan fixedly, but fortunately the wide sleeves of his robe covered the hand holding the armrest, that hand was faintly trembling due to the force, he spoke slowly, his hoarse voice was very pleasant Difficult to discern the emotion in it,

"If Prince Yi is willing to make the covenant on behalf of him, Jing will naturally ask for it."

Ge Hong was startled, apparently he didn't expect Qingling to answer like this, but he let out a sigh of relief when he saw everyone looking at each other in blank dismay. These people all knew that Cang Lan and Nanhui had just formed an alliance not long ago, how could anyone form an alliance with both warring countries at the same time? reason.

Sure enough, Cang Lan shook her head and smiled softly,

"My king can't."

Ordinarily, the Kingdom of Jing can no longer form an alliance with the Kingdom of Jing, but last time the alliance was made by Cang Lan alone, but this time he invited the states to be present, Ge Hong's eyes flashed, as long as the alliance is successful this time, it means that the states have denied it Cang Lan's position in Daxun's overall situation,

"His Royal Highness Prince Yi is the head of Changzhou and a member of the royal family. His Royal Highness should have sworn blood to form an alliance." As he spoke, he followed Cang Lan with his eyes, but when he saw that he just smiled and said nothing, he coughed and turned, "But His Royal Highness hasn't crowned yet. If you are not a sycophant, you can perform the ceremony on your behalf."

In fact, Cang Lan has already passed Guanli's age, these words are just a step up for him.

But Cang Lan stopped smiling suddenly, his expression changed, and he said slowly,

"The crowning ceremony was not performed because the king has no father and brother, and it has nothing to do with the alliance."

After a pause, he said decisively,

"Even if you form a covenant at this moment, I, Prince Daoyi, will not approve it!"

The sound of gold and stone is resounding!

Qingling's figure flickered, his face was pale, but he forced himself to smile.Xing Ye had already held his sword in his hand, he didn't look at Ge Huan and Ge Huan, who had faces as heavy as water, and used all his senses to sense the changes around him, from the bewildered nobles from various states to the musicians and waiters who were commotioning behind the curtain, he was ready to deal with any changes— —

Quiet, under the main hall, there is the voice of Jin Ge!

After the commotion of astonishment passed, everyone stopped breathing, peeking at Ge Hong's movements secretly, and then looked at Haoxuan Canglan who was placed on the Buddha's knife in unison, with different meanings in their eyes.

Seeing everyone panicking, Cang Lan wanted to laugh, so he did too.In the entire hall, he was the only one who was so happy that he even laughed out loud, so arrogant and rampant!

If Hao Lianyu's teeth were present, he might be itching with anger, but he is facing Yiyan at the moment, his face full of anger,

"Don't look! He didn't come back so soon!" If Cang Lan hadn't threatened him before going to the banquet, he might have troubled Yi Yan [-] times, but the anger in his stomach was accumulating more and more.

Stopped looking out of the window, Yiyan frowned, looked back at Hao Lianyu's teeth,

"Master Prime Minister, why don't you come back if you have nothing to do?"

"You think I want to watch you here?!" Furious, Hao Lianyu's teeth immediately exploded, and he cut the nanmu table beside him in half with a knife, "That bastard Haoxuan Canglan said, you If you are missing a hair, you will settle accounts with me!!"

Yi Yan blushed, looking at the red-haired man who was still spinning around the wreckage of the table, but he did not forget to help Cang Lan rectify his name,

"Your Excellency, the Prime Minister may be mistaken, please don't insult His Royal Highness Lan!"

Of course he wouldn't tell Yiyan how much he was valued, Hao Lianyu gritted his teeth,

"What? You think that old fox like Ge can't play tricks, so he came to tie up Haoxuan Canglan's men?" He stopped suddenly, narrowed his red eyes, touched his lips and murmured, "Maybe he will use me as a bargaining chip Blackmail Haoxuan Canglan?"

As if he didn't hear the last sentence, Yi Yan frowned and said,

"They really want to harm His Royal Highness Lan. Why did they go through so much trouble yesterday..."

"I didn't say that the surname Ge wanted Cang Lan's life! He just wanted to submit to Cang Lan in the name... at least he would have to fight against the court!" With a sneer, there was a flash of anxiety in Hao Lianyu's eyes, "As long as that Don't be too ostentatious, you shouldn't be in danger of your life..."

Seeing that Hao Lianyu's teeth were getting more and more confident, Yiyan fell silent, so the two walked back and forth in the room, and the other just looked out of the window, and fell silent again.

Not only ostentatious, Cang Lan is simply unscrupulous.

Ge Hong just put on a smiling face to complete the situation, but his laughter stopped abruptly, and he left his seat with a flick of his sleeves.

Cang Lan not only did not bow her head, but also had a clear attitude. Everyone in the hall was stunned, especially the people from Jiaozhou, Luanzhou, and Changli who had already surrendered to Prince Yi. No more ambiguity.

Realizing that Cang Lan wanted everyone to choose one, Ge Hong was so angry that his hands trembled, he slapped the table, and a line of armored guards flashed out at the door.

The shining weapons stood in front of the hall, reflecting the light of swords all over the room. Almost at the same time, Qing Ling stood up suddenly, startling Ge Hong.Before he understood what this king of benevolence wanted to do, another person stood up, but it was Yang Xiao, the head secretary of Jiaozhou state pastor who was at the left seat, and he said angrily:

"Master Ge, how dare you attack His Royal Highness Prince Yi with a sword?! You are a minister of the emperor, and this is rebellion against the superior!"

Signaling Xing Ye to back down, Cang Lan turned around, glanced at Yang Xiao who was covered in cold sweat, and looked at Ge Hong with a half-smile, not without ridicule.

Ge Hongwan didn't expect that this little master would dare to show his evil. Seeing Cang Lan's detachment, he became even more furious. He stared at Yang Xiao, who was strong on the outside but on the inside, and sneered. As soon as he waved, the warriors outside the hall flocked And into,

"A mere petty official slanders me with lies! I'll punish you for the crime you committed first!" Haoxuan Canglan's status made him fearful, and this Jiaozhou jumping beam clown just happened to be able to offer sacrifices to the flag!

The guards were screaming, and they were about to step forward to arrest him. Yang Xiao was already shaking like chaff, but he clenched his teeth and refused to ask for mercy.

Compared with Lingzhou, which is peaceful and prosperous all the year round, Jiaozhou is really a barren land. It has been war-torn, the people have been displaced, and it is difficult to recruit military personnel. , but Ge Hong, who was supported by Jingguo, could not afford to offend him.Now the two sides are facing each other, the outcome is unpredictable, Yang Xiao is in a hurry, he can only show his favor to Cang Lan here first, if the prince escapes in the future, Jiaozhou will be safe; Should be able to calm down a lot of anger, and the master book is only a small assistant official, the state shepherd can also put aside the responsibility.

Seeing Yang Xiao being dragged out of the hall, Cang Lan moved slightly, and was about to speak, but unexpectedly, Qing Ling stopped her.

"What advice does His Highness Ren Wang have?" Ge Hong looked carefully at Qingling's expression, naturally wondering about His Royal Highness Ren Wang's abnormality.Qingling raised her hand and closed her wide cuffs, then said slowly,

"Since it is an alliance, it is better to have people from all states to witness it."

This remark already seemed to be against him, and he couldn't think of any reason for Qingling, and with the situation of this man in the capital, the more he looked at the scenery, the more dangerous he was, and he couldn't be allowed to make mistakes.In the matter of forming an alliance, the other party can only succeed but not fail, so why should there be side effects?Ge Hong felt unhappy, and his words also brought out some points,

"What King Ren said is true, but it is imperative to form an alliance, so it's worth it if you don't agree with it!"

Without speaking immediately, Qing Ling glanced at Cang Lan intentionally or unintentionally, his eyes were extremely complicated.

There was another silence in the hall. Suddenly, a person from the corner of the hall walked quickly behind Ge Hong and said something hastily. His expression changed again, and his eyes shot towards Cang Lan like lightning. After a long time, He beckoned.

This reaction made Cang Lan wonder, what happened?But looking at the stern look on Ge Hong's face gradually diminishing, Cang Lan was already [-]% sure that the other party was not determined to kill the killer, then——

"General Yuanwei Shen Haozhe has arrived!"

Cang Lan laughed when the singing started.

Shen Haozhe, dressed like ink, walked steadily up the main hall, and the armored soldiers who followed stopped at His Highness, there were no less than a thousand people!

"...Why is General Shen so aggressive?" Seeing the soldiers under the steps, Ge Hong twitched his cheeks, but greeted Shen Haozhe with a smile on his face.

Without even looking at Ge Hong, Shen Haozhe came to Cang Lan's side, knelt down and said,

"The minister heard that His Highness returned to Lingzhou, and came here to pick him up. He couldn't fully salute with the armor on his body. Please forgive me, Your Highness!"

Following Shen Haozhe's kneeling, the soldiers he brought fell to their knees as if they had received an order. Looking down from the steps of the main hall, it was quite spectacular!

Everyone in the hall stared at this drastic change that was completely beyond imagination, and the faces of Ge Huan and Ge Huan were even more bruised.

"The general doesn't need to be too polite." Cang Lan raised her hand, but said in her heart, this one can be regarded as "the general is included, and the king's fate is not accepted"?The original plan was to let Lei Jiao, who is familiar with the terrain, come to rescue him after being trapped, so it seems that he doesn't have to worry about it.

Shen Haozhe didn't care what was going on in Cang Lan's mind. When he stood up and saw the other party's indifferent look, he wanted to frown, but there was no abnormality on his face. He turned his eyes around, his eyes fixed on Qing Ling, and then returned to Cang Lan soon.

"When does Your Highness want to return to Changzhou? I will prepare the car immediately."

"Wait a minute!" Hearing this, Ge Hongwen, who was left on the sidelines, said immediately, "I still have something to discuss with His Royal Highness, Prince Yi!"

"Master Ge really has something to do!" Shen Haozhe's eyes turned cold, and he said in a deep voice, "His Royal Highness Changzhou's [-] soldiers have traveled far to Lingzhou. If they stop for one more day, the loss of food and wages will also be expensive."

These words are definitely a threat!Although everyone couldn't guess whether Shen Haozhe's [-] yuan was true or not, they couldn't help but believe it when they saw that the winning ticket was in their hands!

Rao Ge Hong's face was thick enough, and he turned white, but he was smiling again in an instant,

"Naturally, the lower officials don't dare to make a half-truth."

Seeing him insisting so much, Shen Haozhe felt strange, he looked at Cang Lan, and the two looked at each other, both of them became more sure of what they were thinking.

Cang Lan raised her eyebrows and said,

"Could it be that Mr. Ge wants to ask for the King's Seal?"

As soon as the word "Guoxi" came out, everyone was in an uproar, Qingling's expression changed slightly, Huanxin's lips moved, he hesitated to speak, but Ge Hong received it calmly,

"Is the Great Seal of the Great King a lower official to touch?" He paused for a moment, then said, "However, His Royal Highness Prince Yi has not yet been crowned, so why not perform the crowning ceremony in Lingzhou?"

Hearing Ge Hong bring up this matter again, Cang Lan didn't answer, he just looked at him calmly with the corner of his mouth curled up.

Stunned by this meaningless attitude, Ge Hong's smile was a bit ferocious,

"The emperor is in Lingzhou, so I can perform this crowning ceremony for the prince."
