The clean brocade robe draped on Chu Li carried a gentle sandalwood scent, which was his aura, making people feel peaceful and calm.
"Why did you come back?"
There was half tenderness and half exploration in Chu Yeli's eyes.
Chu Li gathered the collar of her brocade robe, her eyes sparkling, "Because... I miss my fifth brother."
The man's breathing was slightly tight.
He thought of several possibilities:
She met the Regent, and the two may have joined forces to set a trap. She came back just to get closer to him.
She came with a conspiracy.
But when these words came out of her mouth, the countless possibilities in her mind disappeared in an instant, and all that was left was the trembling eyes:
"really?"
"If Fifth Brother doesn't lie to me, I won't lie to Fifth Brother either."
Chu Yeli hugged her tightly in his arms, "I have never lied to you about anything I have said to you, but Xiaojiu, if you missed me, why did you run away at that time?"
Although his emotions were fluctuating, he still had the necessary suspicions.
"Because I'm afraid that my fifth brother will sell me out. Fifth brother, will you give me to the King of the Southern Barbarians?"
"Won't."
Chu Yeli answered without any hesitation:
"I brought you to the capital just to play with you for a few days."
By the way, lure the regent here and find an opportunity to kill him.
"Xiaojiu, have you met the Regent?"
"Yeah," Chu Li nodded, "We ran away for two days, and I found out that he was teasing me on purpose. After all, Fifth Brother is good to me."
Chu Yeli raised his thin lips slightly.
So, this was throwing away the regent and choosing him.
This realization completely eliminated all the doubts in his heart and even made him extremely happy.
"Good girl, look at you like a little kitten. Let's go back first." He carried her on the horse and rode back to the capital.
The cavalrymen put away their spears, looked down upon the Eight Vajra with pride, and said in a cold voice:
"Your Highness Dong Ling, please spare your lives. How far away are you, a bunch of worthless thieves? Get out of here!"
They turned the carriage around, and with such proud gestures, they almost stepped on the Eight Vajra.
The one-eyed dragon clenched his fist and said angrily:
"Dog eyes look down on people!"
Are they not mainstream?
Aren’t these people the royal family’s running dogs?
"Brother, they are going too far!" Scarface said angrily.
“How abominable!”
“Who are you looking down on?”
-
Royal capital.
After returning to Wang's Inn, Chu Yeli immediately ordered someone to prepare hot water for Chu Li to take a bath. He closed the door and walked down the stairs. He saw Tuoba Mingyue standing in the hall.
"Did you find it?"
Chu Yeli nodded.
"That's good," Tuoba Mingyue said, "I will bring Young Master Chu to the palace for the dinner tomorrow."
Dedicated to my father.
Chu Yeli looked at her, "She won't enter the palace."
"Brother Ye Li, what do you mean by that? Didn't you bring her to the capital to promote our cooperation?"
"I just brought her here to play. I never intended to use her. Besides, our cooperation doesn't need to rely on a woman."
He promised to give southern Xinjiang to the Nanman, and the promise was about to be fulfilled.
As for other territories, he would promise them one by one. Presumably, to the King of Southern Barbarians, these territories and cities were more attractive than a woman.
Tuoba Mingyue's eyes flickered slightly.
He protected her like this?
"This is the capital, in my Nanman territory. Aren't you afraid that I might go back on my word?"
"Of course I am afraid, but Mingyue, there is no need for us to be enemies. In recent years, the Nanman kingship has been in dispute and internal fighting, and the King of Yin is eyeing them covetously. Shouldn't your main focus now be on dealing with your uncle, the King of Yin, who is a high-ranking official?"
Tuoba Mingyue took a step back.
really.
Every dynasty is subject to power struggles.
There is only one throne, but there are dozens of princes and grandchildren.
She was the only princess in her father's family and his offspring were few. Half of the ministers in the court believed that women were not suitable for governing and chose to support her father's younger brother, the current King Yin.
She had no choice but to cooperate with Chu Yeli, pin her hopes on him, and expand her power as quickly as possible in order to destroy King Yin.
Chu Li, she can't move.
However, she still felt a little unwilling in her heart...
"Brother Ye Li, why can't you marry me? As long as you marry me, my father will promise to do his utmost to help you restore your country, and you can also help me destroy Uncle Yin. We can coexist and win together."
"Even if you want to marry Young Master Chu in the future, I won't mind serving you with her."
Chu Yeli walked towards her:
"Mingyue, do you really just want to destroy King Yin and secure your throne?"
"I don't understand what Brother Yeli said."
He chuckled, "You use witchcraft to train your soldiers and create immortal monsters. I'm afraid that after you destroy the Yin King, you will march towards the Great Chu. I'm afraid you want much more than this."
Tuoba Mingyue's eyes flickered slightly.
How did he know about the Wu Gu Army...
This is the will of the Father.
She had once seen from afar a wizard training his weapons.
Once the life and death insect is planted into a soldier's body, the insect will control the soldier's body, making him unable to feel pain and feel tired. Even if the heart is pierced, the insect in the brain will control the body and allow him to walk as usual.
If they were sent to the battlefield, each of them would be able to defeat a hundred enemies at once and be invincible.
However, this witchcraft army is the secret and trump card of the royal family. How did he know about it?
"Since ancient times, if you want to establish a kingdom, you have to fight. Brother Ye Li must understand this."
Even if her hands are stained with blood, she is worthy of her people.
Tuoba Mingyue said, "I am the eldest princess of the Nanman first, and the woman who loves you second. No matter what happens, the interests of my country and my people will always come first, just like you, who are first an orphan of the previous dynasty who endured humiliation to restore the country, and secondly the young master of Chu."
Chu Yeli's eyes suddenly darkened.
Who is he first?
In his heart, nature comes first...
Second floor.
Chu Li took a hot bath, washed himself clean, and vaguely heard the sound of tiles creaking outside the window.
Snap...
Snap...
So light that it is almost imperceptible.
Chu Li glanced outside the door, and after making sure it was safe, he walked to the window and gently pushed it half open.
"Young Master."
Outside the window, there is a very tall man who is as thin as a bamboo pole. He is the Farsighted Eagle among the Eight Vajras.
Farsighted Eagle saw that she was wearing an expensive brocade robe and had a stunning appearance after washing. She was truly a young lady of noble blood.
Fortunately, I didn't take action at that time, otherwise, I would have missed this thick thigh.
Chu Li swept the floor and lowered his voice: "Are you alone?"
Farsighted Eagle whispered:
"This is the Royal Inn, guarded by royal guards. The seven of them cannot get in, except for my extraordinary lightness skills, which means I can step on the snow without leaving any trace."
"During the day, it was us eight brothers who failed to recognize the great man."
Those who live in Wang’s Inn are either rich or noble.
"If you are willing to follow me and help me, I will not treat you unfairly."
The foresighted eagle came for this very reason.
A small gold bar is enough for the eight brothers to spend for a whole year. If they hold on to the young master's thick thighs, there may be greater benefits in the future.
People die for money, and birds die for food.
In today's world, the thing that is most abundant is that money makes the world go round.
He licked his lips:
"Young Master, please give us your orders. We are willing to do our best to serve you."
