Chapter 631 The King of Loulan? Luo'er's sophistry!
"Thump—thump—thump—"
As the drums began to beat, dancers dressed in bright colors and revealing outfits filed into the hall.
Immediately afterwards, a hot song and dance performance began.
Li Qingluo and the others all came from the Central Plains.
I've never seen anything like this before.
A bare waist.
Long, beautiful legs.
Half-exposed beautiful breasts.
Her eyes sparkled with longing, and her figure moved with captivating grace.
Although she was also a woman, the steamy scene made Li Qinglu blush and feel very embarrassed.
Granny Zheng was watching with great interest, but Que'er covered her eyes.
Not only did he cover himself, but he also covered Sha San completely: "Don't peek, do you hear me?"
Killing three naturally enjoyed it, and was very pleased to have someone watching over him.
But the rest of the killers didn't have it so easy.
They sat on pins and needles, like boiled shrimp, too embarrassed to look into the room, their eyes darting around, their faces full of shyness.
They used to be cold-hearted knives, but now they've all entered the mortal world with the girl and Sha San. With worldly thoughts in their hearts, all the skills they had honed before have become useless.
Seeing women, they are no longer just stones.
Even Sha Yi kept drinking tea, pretending to be very busy.
Only Zhuiyu remained relatively calm.
He sat upright behind Li Qingluo, constantly glancing around at his surroundings out of the corner of his eye.
Suddenly, a eunuch rushed in from outside, pointed at Li Qingluo and his group, and said, "Arrest them!"
Before Li Qingluo could move, everyone around her had already jumped up and surrounded her completely, preventing anyone else from getting close.
"Who dares to touch our princess!"
The address of "Princess" startled even the eunuchs.
"Princess?"
"What princess?"
"Just who are you?"
His expression changed several times, his eyes filled with doubt.
Li Qingluo slowly stood up: "I am Princess Luoluo, the younger sister of the Lord of Mantuo City."
"When I requested an audience with the King of Loulan, I informed the guards at the city gate of my identity."
"And they presented us with a travel permit."
"Does this gentleman not know about this matter?"
Upon hearing this, the eunuch looked extremely flustered.
He naturally dared not make the decision himself, so he quickly turned around and hurriedly ran out again.
The dancers hurriedly retreated, and the entire hall was surrounded by guards.
Que'er nervously turned to look at Li Qingluo, not daring to relax: "Miss, it's best if you don't take action later. This servant and they can handle it."
Zheng Mama and Qin Ling both nodded in agreement, and Qin Ling and Li Yunchu moved even closer to Li Qingluo.
"Don't worry, if she dares to make any rash moves, I'll be the first to hold her back!"
Although the couple didn't know martial arts, they were still good at dragging people along.
Li Yunchu looked even more serious, secretly clenching her fists as if she had taken this matter as an extremely important task.
Li Qingluo: ……
Just the two of them?
To be honest, all she had to do was kick them once with her left foot and punch them once with her right, and they would be in even worse shape than when they were slapped.
However, she didn't find the couple so annoying today.
Perhaps we don't need to resort to violence.
Just then, a loud shout rang out from outside the door: "The King has arrived!"
"The Queen has arrived!"
"The Empress Dowager has arrived!"
"The Empress Dowager of Wusun has arrived—"
Such a big commotion?
They've all come?
Just because she presented herself as Princess Luoluo of Mantuo City.
Were they curious about Mando City, or did they simply think they were princesses after all?
However, it came at just the right time, as Li Qingluo had been getting a little impatient these past few days.
She just wanted to find her master as soon as possible and then leave the Western Regions.
The child in her womb, no matter how much she struggles, can't be hidden for long before it's exposed to the world.
If she reappears with a pregnant belly, she won't be able to play the role of a princess sent for a political marriage anymore.
Moreover, she now clearly feels tired every day, a complete change from the energetic and tireless self she used to be.
Li Qingluo also wanted to protect the child in her womb that had arrived late.
She wanted to preserve her bloodline with Duan Rongshi.
Therefore, we must hurry up in order to save our master.
As the announcement was made, several figures dressed in magnificent attire, with extraordinary bearing and appearance, entered one after another.
The one leading the group must be the legendary King of Loulan, right?
Although he is nearing forty, he remains handsome and dashing.
Moreover, he stood tall and straight like a pine tree, with long, slightly wavy hair flowing down his back, and a golden crown on his head. His usually stern face was calm and gentle.
Yet, his every move exudes imperial majesty; despite his stunning appearance, he radiates a kingly aura that commands respect.
This King of Loulan is truly unforgettable.
Moreover, the people who followed him in were equally impossible to ignore.
A dignified and noble queen.
The Empress Dowager, still exuding majesty.
And then there's a woman in exotic clothing who, despite having half a head of white hair, is still as beautiful as a demon from another world... That must be Anar, right?
Li Qing quickly identified the group of people in his mind and boldly met the gaze of the King of Loulan.
I not only saw the King of Loulan, but also the people behind him.
"Are you Princess Luoluo of Mantuo City?"
"You've got some nerve."
The calmness in Li Qingluo's eyes and the bold, flamboyant aura emanating from her also surprised the King of Loulan and his companions.
They turned and sat down on the platform, their eyes filled with interest as they looked down.
They seemed quite curious about Li Qingluo's unexpected identity.
As the crowd dispersed, Li Qingluo naturally stepped forward.
"yes."
“My daughter is indeed from Mantuo City. She has met the King of Loulan, the Queen, and the Empress Dowager.”
Li Qing greeted the people with the proper etiquette of the Central Plains.
Queen Loulan: "I've heard that women from the Central Plains are beautiful, dignified, and very polite. Seeing how she greets people, I can confirm that her reputation is well-deserved. Seeing is believing."
Anar gave a mocking sneer: "She is pretty, that's all. But as for being elegant and dignified? In my opinion, she has disgraced the women of the Central Plains!"
Li Qingluo: "Then it is this lady's shortsightedness."
"The flowers in this world are just as colorful as the flowers in the world, and people also have seven emotions and six desires. The world is inherently boring, but it is the presence of all kinds of different people that makes this world more colorful."
Are all the people in the Western Regions the same?
"As I've traveled along the way, I've noticed that the customs and traditions of the various countries in the Western Regions are all quite different, and the personalities of men and women are also very different. For example, your Loulan is the most unique kingdom I've ever seen."
"We women of the Central Plains are naturally quite different as well."
"Due to differences between the North and the South, as well as between ethnic groups, regions, and even countries, there are significant differences."
"Therefore, some women are dignified and beautiful, some are passionate and bold, some are gentle and affectionate, and some are aloof and independent, unlike most others. But what does it matter?"
"They are skilled in poetry and prose, needlework and embroidery, and some are even adept at martial arts. Why must everyone be the same?"
"I may not be elegant or beautiful enough, but does that mean I wasn't born in the Central Plains?"
"Of course not."
Anar's face darkened after Li Qingluo's words.
"What an amazing mouth!"
"I only said one sentence, and she replied with hundreds!"
"I think your Mantuo City has ulterior motives!"
The Empress Dowager of Loulan nodded repeatedly.
He seemed to agree with Anar's words.
"I do seem to have heard that the princess of Mantuo City is going to the royal city of Hara for a marriage alliance."
"How come... the capital of Hala is completely in the opposite direction from our Loulan? How could a princess from the Central Plains go to the wrong place?"
"Speak! What is your purpose in coming to Loulan?"
"Also, do you have any connection with those Central Plains people who dared to kidnap the young master yesterday?"
The King of Loulan, who had been resting his chin on his hand, narrowed his eyes deeply upon hearing this.
“I have heard from someone that the number of people who entered the city together that day is one less than the number of people who entered the palace today.”
"Why don't you, Princess of Mantuo City, explain to me that you've all stayed inside the mansion these past few days without stepping out once? So why are there so few people? And where did this one person go?"
"On the contrary, the group that kidnapped the young master actually had one more person in their ranks."
"I wonder if this person came from your side?"
"If that's the case, then that's truly strange. Unless, you're all in cahoots!"
"You audacious Central Plains people, how dare you mock our Loulan! Do you know what crime you deserve for this trip?"
The King of Loulan slammed his hand on the armrest, his killing intent instantly surging forth, completely erasing any trace of his previous benevolent demeanor.
He truly deserves to be the king of a nation.
It certainly has the imposing presence of a regal.
However, Li Qingluo was not easily frightened, and what kind of perverted emperors hadn't she seen?
How could he possibly be intimidated by such a small king's meager power?
She looked up at the powerful figures with neither arrogance nor servility.
"As expected, I was right."
"No matter who it is, once they enter your Loulan, their every word and action will be strictly monitored under your noses."
"So whether we go out or not, and how many people we bring when we enter the city, we can't hide it from you."
"But, can't it be that you've simply misremembered?"
“We have never left the house, and no one has gone missing. We do not accept this false accusation!”
Li Qingluo was determined to renege on her promise.
Her actions severely angered the King of Loulan.
"How dare you!"
"Do you think that just because you don't admit it, I can't do anything to you?"
Li Qingluo: "Why should you acknowledge something that never happened?"
"Either way, we'll just be driven out of the city gates. Lying will only do us more harm than good, so why should I lie?"
"Anyway, being driven out of Loulan was your original goal."
“You will never accept any outsiders.”
"And we will never lie!"
"Anyway, whether we go out or not these past few days, you have ways to turn the wrong into our fault."
"If that's the case, why bother pretending to invite people to the palace banquet?"
"Unless, this is how you Loulan treat your guests!"
Li Qingluo's words thoroughly enraged the King of Loulan: "Insolence!"
