Chapter 793 Brother-in-law (6)
Chen Qiu sighed: "If the Ministry of Justice doesn't come up with a solution, the city defense will not be able to hold on."
The prince was imprisoned. On one hand, the Emperor of Qin was demanding an explanation, and on the other hand, Emperor Wenhui was reluctant to part with his only legitimate son. But the people were the ones who suffered.
"This New Year's Eve is not peaceful." Luo Ling shook his head. "No matter what the outcome, I'm afraid there will be chaos in Dingjing."
The two looked at each other and saw the worry in each other's eyes.
Chen Qiu said, "Don't mention this. Yesterday, I heard from my mother that my sister's marriage needs to be reconsidered. Although we don't have to worry about the Crown Prince for the time being, the more chaotic the situation becomes, the more people will want to use the Shen family as a pretext. My sister's status is special, and it is inevitable that she will attract covetousness. If we don't settle the marriage soon, the future will be bad."
Luo Ling was stunned when he heard this. Before he could say anything, he heard Chen Qiu say, "Cousin, what do you think?"
"Me?" Luo Ling's face flushed slightly. "Didn't my cousin already know what I was thinking?"
Chen Qiu let out a "Hi," put his arm around Luo Ling's shoulder, and said, "You're a martial artist after all, and you grew up in the military with your uncle. Why do you talk about this like one of those pedantic scholars?" He added, "You're good in every way except that you're a bit shy. If you didn't tell your sister about this, would you expect her to come to you?"
Luo Ling smiled awkwardly.
Chen Qiu persuaded him earnestly: "My sister's personality, on the surface, looks gentle and docile, but in fact, she is proud and stubborn in her bones. If you think that my sister will come to you on her own initiative, I'm afraid you don't have to think about it. A real man likes what he likes, so just go directly. Although you can't beat me," Chen Qiu looked at Luo Ling with some pickyness: "But the current situation is different, and you are barely qualified. If you want to be my brother-in-law, I will accept it!"
Chen Qiu spoke so proudly, but Luo Ling felt even more embarrassed. He said, "This also requires my cousin's consent..."
"If you don't tell me, how can I know what you're thinking?" Chen Qiu glared at her. "Let's not talk about anything else. First of all, you have to find a time to tell me clearly what you're thinking. Cousin, I'll tell you the truth. Su Mingfeng was sick in the past. I don't like him. Feng Zixian, tsk tsk, the Feng family almost killed my sister last time. Let's not talk about that. After all, you're not bad."
"Thank you, cousin." Luo Ling smiled and said, "If I have the chance, I will definitely..."
Chen Qiu was about to say something when he saw a fine horse suddenly running towards him from the other end of the street. The horse's coat was smooth and eye-catching even in the dim streets of the evening. Heroes always love good horses. Chen Qiu and Luo Ling could not help but be attracted by the horse.
The man on horseback was also very handsome, and from a distance he looked very graceful. When he was approaching Shenqiu and the other two, he suddenly reined in his horse and stopped. The horse's front hooves were raised, but the man on it sat very steadily. It was obvious that he was an excellent equestrian. It was very beautiful. Shenqiu couldn't help but shout: "Good!"
The man on horseback said, "General Shen."
Shen Qiu was stunned.
Atop the steed sat a figure, his elegant purple-gold robe shimmering even more brilliantly in the lantern light. He stood tall and straight, his face covered by a silver mask that revealed his beautiful features. His chin was smooth, his lips slightly tilted upwards, and his eyes, glancing down from top to bottom, held a hint of a half-smile in their airs.
"Your Highness Prince Rui!" Chen Qiu and Luo Ling hurriedly bowed to the man. They had all seen Prince Rui during the tribute ceremony and knew that this outfit was undoubtedly his. Moreover, this lazy and unrestrained temperament was unique to Prince Rui.
King Rui said, "You're welcome. I thought I was seeing things, but it turned out to be Young General Shen, so I stopped and said hello." He only spoke to Shen Qiu and didn't look at Luo Ling.
Shen Qiu was somewhat flattered. This Prince Rui usually treated Emperor Wenhui with indifference, yet he actually took the initiative to greet him? And he spoke so politely. Shen Qiu was secretly wary of whether the other party was up to something, but at the same time, he felt a sense of satisfaction.
Could it be that his reputation as a major general has spread so widely that even King Rui of Daliang has begun to admire him?
But he didn't notice Luo Ling's face suddenly turned pale.
There was a safety pendant hanging around Prince Rui's waist, which looked strangely familiar.
