"Why are you crying like this?"
Zhao Rong secretly glanced at Zhu Yourong's snowy eyes, then smiled helplessly at Xiao Qian'er.
He reached out his hand and wanted to wipe the girl's red, swollen and wet eyes.
Xiao Qian'er looked at the white and clean right hand that was stretched out to her and shrank back like a deer.
"Brother Rong'er... are you really Brother Rong'er... I... I still can't believe it."
She held the broken arm in her arms with both hands, and was actually a little afraid of dirtying his hands.
Rong'er's hands are so white now, and his face...
Zhao Rong glanced at the girl.
She was looking at him with her peach blossom eyes turned upside down, curiously and a little afraid.
Concubine Zhao Ling, who was being held by his waist, was lowering her head to tidy up his clothes.
Pull the corner of the clothes.
Straighten your collar.
Her jade hand reached down and helped him carefully tie the scabbard and white jade plate around his waist.
At this moment, the virtuous and kind wife looked up and glared at Xiao Qian'er.
"Silly girl, who else could this be but Brother Rong'er? From childhood to adulthood... how could you have mistaken me? Even if he turned into ashes... I would still recognize him."
Zhao Rong suddenly felt some evil interest.
He reached out with his right hand and hugged the adorable little Qian'er, who was holding the broken arm, into his arms.
He didn't mind at all the blood and sweat on her body that soaked her clean white clothes.
The little girl who had shocked everyone in the Jiyue Mountain with her thundering means not long ago was now timid and weak. She allowed her lover to manipulate her. She did not dare and did not want to disobey him. She was just like a little wife. She did not have any of her previous arrogance and sinisterness at all.
Zhao Rong tightened his left hand again and hugged Qingjun, who was tidying up his clothes, closer to his arms.
This sudden movement caused the beauty to let out a soft cry, and she couldn't help but tiptoe and snuggle into his arms.
So Zhao Rong hugged her on both sides, one of his childhood sweethearts being extremely beautiful and pretty in each hand.
However, he made some noises like the villains in the novels, and said with a serious face, "You can't run away, hehe, you two ladies have fallen into the trap, your husband with a broken arm has been eaten by me, and now he is in my stomach."
Zhao Rong pointed at his face, nodded to Qingjun and Qianer who were blinking, and said:
"See this face? Does it look like your husband? But even more handsome?"
He sneered, Mo's feelings, "Haha, that's right, how can your husband be as handsome as this king? Well, although his appearance was second only to this king in terms of handsomeness before, I also took him in because of his extraordinary wisdom and handsome appearance. I joined forces with him, and now he is so handsome that he is ready to cause trouble to the little girls in the world..."
Zhao Lingfei: “…”
Zhao Qianer: “…”
The two girls looked at each other.
"Bah, you have no shame."
Concubine Zhao Ling spat lightly and tried to keep a straight face, but she couldn't help smiling. She patted the chest of this frivolous husband, but she was reluctant to use force, so she lifted it high and put it down gently.
She turned her shoulder and gently bumped into the man.
If he wasn't Rong'er, who could he be? His little movements, his little habits, his little eyes, his little tone of voice, Concubine Zhao Ling would never forget them. Even if he was burned to ashes, she would still be able to find him.
The only time in his life that Concubine Zhao Ling felt that Zhao Rong was a stranger was in the bridal chamber on their wedding night. After he sobered up, he said he didn't know where her jade token was.
At that moment, Zhao Lingfei felt that he had become extremely unfamiliar, whether it was his words, eyes, or tone... Her heart died just like that at that moment.
But later, Princess Zhao Ling also learned from Li Bai that Rong Erge had drunk some kind of Huangliang Forget-Your-Sorrow Wine and had a big dream... Later, when Zhao Rong came to Duyou City to find her, his words also indirectly proved this point...
On the other side, Xiao Qian'er bit her lips gently and stared at Brother Rong'er very carefully.
Hearing his "domineering" words, she tilted her head and tugged at the corner of a certain king's clothes with her little hand.
"Great... Great King."
She said timidly in a low voice.
Zhao Rong looked stern, "What's the matter, little girl who is not enough to fill the gap between your teeth?"
Xiao Qian'er blinked and said softly, "Can you please not harm other little girls?"
Zhao Rong shook his head and refused mercilessly, "No, little girl, I tell you, don't even think about escaping. I am wrong... I am here to inspect the human world this time, and I have brought disaster to everyone~"
After he finished speaking, he raised his hand and lifted Xiao Qian'er's chin with two fingers, "Well, before I ate that kid, he begged for mercy and said that the two delicate young ladies in his family were both peerless beauties, unique in heaven and unparalleled on earth. The eldest lady was like a fairy, extremely beautiful and aloof, beautiful and intelligent... and the second lady was also a little fairy, pretty and charming, and smart and unparalleled."
Zhao Rong secretly gave his flattery a thumbs up, and nodded seriously to Xiao Qian'er who was very cooperative with him:
"Well, I see, you are this pretty and charming, agile and incomparable second lady, right? That boy is honest and sincere to me, but... now it is my turn."
Xiao Qian'er blinked her eyes, raised her chin to cooperate with him, and lifted her little face.
Revealing a lovely and charming look.
"No, my lord, I want to say..." She narrowed her peach blossom eyes and spoke softly and eagerly, "My lord, can you just harm me and my young lady? Can you please stop harming other women? What's so good about them?"
Zhao Rong: Good fellow, how should I answer?
Xiao Qian'er glanced at a certain place in the tomb passage, and continued to softly suggest to the 'king':
"The lady also agrees with me. You can go and ask her if she agrees."
Zhao Rong: “…”
He was a little unsure whether Qian'er was referring to a little fox demon or some other imaginary enemy.
Just when he was worrying about how to play dumb and answer, Concubine Zhao Ling, who was quietly tidying up his clothes, suddenly came to the rescue, "Alright, Qian'er, stop making trouble... Husband, you are the same, making trouble with Qian'er again."
Zhao Rong nodded quickly.
Xiao Qian'er looked at the young lady, then pulled the corner of Zhao Rong's clothes, "Okay, no more jokes, Brother Rong'er, you...you haven't told me what you experienced in that secret realm yet?"
"Why... did the severed hand grow back?" She touched Zhao Rong's right hand and looked at his face curiously. "And your face, Brother Rong'er, why... has changed a little?"
Concubine Zhao Ling and Zhu Yourong, who was not far away, all looked at Zhao Rong.
The latter smiled and continued, "Have you become more handsome?"
"kindness."
Zhao Lingfei and Zhao Qianer's eyes sparkled and their faces blushed a little.
Zhu Yourong also glanced sideways, his eyes falling on the face of the scholar in white.
He is wearing white clothes now...it really looks good.
She pursed her lips.
Zhao Rong nodded and said seriously, "In fact, he was already very handsome before."
The girls smiled and nodded.
Zhao Rong also smiled, turned his head to look at the brand new hall in the main hall, and said softly: "I had some adventures in this secret realm inside."
Concubine Zhao Ling couldn't help but ask, "My husband, I heard from Uncle Xiaobai and Mr. Zhu that it was the group of women who were in the back hall who rescued you. Is that true?"
Zhao Rong nodded calmly.
Just now on the way, Li Bai had told him some things, and also told him what Zhao Lingfei and others had said.
But at the moment, he really had no intention of hiding something, and said directly: "Among this group of women, there is an old friend I know. Therefore, when they saw that I was seriously injured, they took me away and took me to that secret place for treatment... And my adventure this time is also related to these."
"An old friend from Li Nuli?"
Xiao Qian'er was curious and repeated the same thing.
Zhao Rong turned his head, looked directly at her, nodded and said frankly: "You also know this old friend... But these, and the adventure... I will tell you about these in detail later."
He turned around, glanced at the crowd, and decided, "It's getting too late now, let's leave here first and go to our accommodation outside. If there is anything, we can talk about it outside."
Xiao Qian'er still held the broken arm tightly and seemed to have a lot to say to Zhao Rong, but she nodded after hearing his words.
The girl turned around and looked at the brand new swing next to her, a little stunned.
Concubine Zhao Ling also had a lot of questions she wanted to ask her husband, but there were some outsiders present, so it was inconvenient to ask him. She put her thoughts aside for the time being and nodded with Xiao Qian'er.
Zhu Yourong and Li Bai also had no objection.
Especially the former, who had been quiet since he stopped to make way, just watching from afar the lively reunion of Zhao Lingfei, Zhao Qian'er and Zhao Rong.
So, Zhao Rong took everyone and left the underground palace of the imperial mausoleum.
It was night time. When they walked out of the Imperial Tomb Waterfall and looked up, they saw a sky full of stars and an autumn breeze blowing on their faces.
Zhao Rong looked up with a dazed look on his face. Too many things happened today.
The Fengshan Ceremony was a complete victory, the bamboo forest courtyard was attacked, the imperial mausoleum underground palace was the ultimate counterattack, Luo Xiu gave the pure white Han Palace, and the mythical journey of Wangque ruins...
Many times before, he thought he was doomed and would never see Qingjun, Qian'er, Yourong and the others again, nor would he ever see the starry sky again.
However... I gritted my teeth and got through it.
The group paused for a moment in front of the waterfall, and then returned to the large group of tents at the foot of the Jiyue Mountain wasteland.
Zhao Rong had a place to stay here before, so they came here to rest for a while.
The news of Zhao Rong and others' safe return also reached Dugu Chanyi and the ministers.
Dugu Chanyi wanted to take the initiative to meet him with the little emperor, but was directly rejected by Zhao Rong.
He knew the purpose of this Queen Mother Dali.
Half of them came for Zhu Yourong and Li Bai.
The two of them, one is a female teacher in the academy who is close to the Nascent Soul stage, and the other is a rare second-rank warrior. Both of them are people that the Dali court cannot afford to offend.
In addition, Zhao Lingfei and Qian'er are the geniuses of Taiqing Mansion, and Dali cannot neglect them either.
Another half of the reason was that Zhao Rong was attacked in vain this time.
Dugu Chanyi was probably afraid of offending Zhao Rong, so she wanted to come forward to explain and at the same time test his attitude.
Linlu Academy is well-known in the mountain for protecting its own people. After helping Dali to perform Fengshan, the Confucian scholars of the academy were attacked, and officials from the Dali court were also involved... Although no one was hurt in the end, the academy may vent its anger on Dali in the future.
However, even though he knew all this, Mr. Zhao, who was always easy to talk to, still did not give face to a certain Empress Dowager Dugu.
He did not meet them to comfort them at this time.
Zhao Rong was really tired.
In particular, he already had a general understanding of Dugu Chanyi's background and identity.
Zhao Rong felt complicated. Sometimes watching other people perform was a very tiring thing, because as an audience member he had to cooperate... So Zhao Rong didn't want to have too much contact with Dugu Chanyi for the time being, and even declined the concern and invitation from the little emperor.
But he was still afraid that the sensitive young man in dragon robe would be disappointed and guilty... On his way back, he had heard from Xiao Qian'er about the little emperor's reaction after learning that he had been betrayed by Zhang Huizhi.
So Zhao Rong asked Xianyue Li Nu to take some words of comfort back...
After Dugu Chanyi and his ministers were turned away and left, no one dared to disturb them anymore.
In the main hall of the big tent, everyone first agreed to come back together for dinner later, and then they withdrew separately to do their own things for the time being.
The first one to say goodbye and leave was Zhu Yourong.
She hadn't spoken to Zhao Rong all the way, and just stood aside silently, as if her mission was accomplished after Zhao Rong was rescued.
Now back at the camp, she made another excuse and left.
Before leaving, she also told Zhao Rong that the headmaster of Linlu Academy had already sent someone to rush over, and they would arrive in Dali soon.
Take full responsibility for handling the attack on the students of the academy.
At that time, people from the academy will look for him, the person involved, and ask him in detail about what happened... The academy will catch all the people behind the scenes involved in this matter and seek justice for Zhao Rong.
Zhao Rong nodded and agreed.
But he didn't say much.
In fact, he didn't have much hope for help from the academy.
If the person behind the scenes is really as Zhao Rong guessed before, and is of the same level as the returning Li clan, then it would be difficult to find any trace of them...
Then Qingjun and Qianer temporarily left.
The two girls looked back at Zhu Yourong after she left before saying they were going out to do something.
Concubine Zhao Ling said that the commanders from the four Taiqing prefectures had arrived, and Zhao Rong also helped this time.
Now that Zhao Rong has returned safely, she, as a disciple, wants to go and report his safety and see her teachers off.
The lady has always been so polite and understanding, so of course Zhao Rong would not object, but instead felt relieved.
Xiao Qian'er wanted to run away holding Zhao Rong's broken arm.
Zhao Rong originally asked her to throw away the extra arm, but the little girl stubbornly insisted, saying something she had learned from somewhere, "Our body and hair are given by our parents... they should not be thrown away easily."
So it seemed like Xiao Qian'er went out to... bury the broken arm. The corners of Zhao Rong's mouth twitched.
In addition, the little girl also said that she wanted to go find her maid Su Qingdai...
Zhao Rong had no choice but to let the little girl go.
As for Li Bai, he never left Zhao Rong.
He was fine, so under the strong request of Zhao Lingfei and Xiao Qian'er, they guarded within 30 meters around him...
After everyone had left, the remaining Li Bai also ran outside to guard the door and watch the situation. Zhao Rong breathed a sigh of relief facing the empty hall.
He rubbed his face, smelled his body, and ran to take a hot shower.
Soon, he took a bath, changed his clothes, and returned to the main hall of the tent in a cool state.
At this time, Li Bai ran in and told him that Zhu Yourong had returned and wanted to see him.
Zhao Rong glanced at the empty hall without any expression.
Qingjun and Qian'er are not here...
He thought about it, and finally nodded calmly.
Li Bai couldn't help but glance at him, but didn't say anything and went out to deliver the message.
Soon, a graceful figure in a snow-white scholar's robe appeared in the tent hall...
