1328 tacit understanding, these two people are a good match
After being driven out of the city, the Luo prince's soldiers did not leave immediately, but rested at the city gate. The Ninth Prince did not continue to trouble them, and allowed them to enter the city to replenish the food and grass they needed along the way.
"The prince is simply too kind." The aide said privately, and the Ninth Prince's guards unanimously agreed. Wang Jinling overheard this and did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Prince Luo's personal soldiers were resting at the post station, so it was only natural for them to go into the city for supplies. It was already very unkind of the Ninth Prince to force them out, and now they were sneaking into the city to buy the food and fodder they needed along the way, which turned out to be the Ninth Prince's kindness.
If the Ninth Prince was truly kind, he wouldn't have driven people away.
"No normal person can understand the logic of a robber." Wang Jinling decided to stay away from the Ninth Prince's guards in the future, as this group of people only use fists and not reason.
Prince Luo's personal soldiers were probably really scared, so they rested outside the city for two days and then set off on their journey, leaving on the same day as the Zhan family. It is said that Princess Mingwei got off the car halfway and knelt down in the direction where the Zhan family left.
The soldiers personally guarding Prince Luo all praised Princess Mingwei for her noble character. Wang Jinling sneered, "What a hypocritical woman." The person is dead, and no matter how much he kneels and kowtows to the master, he cannot be resurrected.
"Don't be angry. It's not worth it to ruin your dignity as the eldest master for something insignificant." Feng Qingchen comforted.
"I'm not angry, I just feel sorry for you, sir. If you hadn't taken pity on her and accepted her as a half-disciple, she would have had to stay in the harem all her life, submissive and living a humiliating life, becoming a pawn for Nanling Jinfan to win over court officials, and she wouldn't have the dignity she has today. But how did she repay you, sir? She climbed to the top by stepping on your dead body." Wang Jinling looked at the coffin that was moving further and further away with a look of grief on his face.
Because of the selfishness of Nanling Jinfan and Princess Mingwei, the master's life was taken and Yan'er's life was ruined.
"Princess Mingwei will not have a good ending. The Queen and Prince Luo will not treat her well, and Nanling Jinxing will not let her go." This was all Feng Qingchen could say.
Mr. Wenyuan is dead, and even if Princess Mingwei is killed immediately, this fact cannot be changed.
The day after the Zhan family and Zhan Yan left, the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen also prepared to return to Dongling. Wang Jinling needed to stay for two more days and go to Nanling with his classmates to attend Mr. Wenyuan's funeral.
"I'll leave the rest to you. I don't want to return to Dongling, as I would be greeted with criticism from scholars and literati." Before leaving, the Ninth Prince once again mentioned vaguely that he wanted Wang Jinling to handle the affairs after Mr. Wenyuan's death.
"Don't worry, as soon as I'm done, I'll have someone deliver the news to Dongling as quickly as possible." Even if Wang Jinling was reluctant, he would not change his mind at the last minute. He would definitely do what he promised.
The Ninth Prince nodded: "This King believes in you."
Can you not believe it?
Wang Jinling raised his eyebrows and asked silently.
Feng Qingchen stood aside, looking at the two men's eyes, which were glued to each other and could not be withdrawn. He sighed and stepped forward to interrupt: "You two are almost the same. If you are willing to let go of each other, we can leave a day later."
"Who can't bear to part with him?"
"Who can't bear to part with him?"
The Ninth Prince and Wang Jinling spoke at the same time, and took a step back at the same time. Finding that the other party was doing the same thing as themselves, they both did the same thing again, which was staring at each other.
The moment their eyes met, they both turned their faces away at the same time. Their tacit understanding was as if they had rehearsed it dozens of times before. Feng Qingchen's eyes widened.
"You two have such a good understanding." Feng Qingchen retreated silently. She found that standing between the two of them was not a wise choice.
"These two are a perfect match." Doudou held his chin with both hands, his eyes flashing with gossip.
Zuo An looked at Doudou sympathetically.
, quietly move away three steps to ensure safety.
The Ninth Prince and Wang Jinling were unhappy. When they heard Doudou's words, they said in unison again: "Ouyang Doudou, what are you talking about?"
After saying this, the two of them frowned at the same time. This time, Wang Jinling spoke faster and said, "Ninth Uncle, why are you imitating me?"
The Ninth Prince spoke slowly, and when Wang Jinling interrupted him, he swallowed back his words and snorted coldly, "Learn from you? Do I need to learn from you?"
"Really? Then why are you saying the same thing as me?" The smile on Wang Jinling's face was as gentle as jade, and as modest as a gentleman, provided that one ignored his teasing eyes.
The Ninth Prince really wanted to knock the smile off Wang Jinling's face with one punch. He had never hated the smile on Wang Jinling's face so much as he did now.
But he did say the same thing as Wang Jinling. Even if he didn't imitate Wang Jinling, he couldn't deny this.
"Young Master, where is your gentlemanly demeanor?" The Ninth Prince was so angry that he had to remind Wang Jinling that his aggressive behavior was not what a gentleman should do.
"The metaphor of gentleman is nothing but praise from the world. I have never considered myself a gentleman." So, don't keep demanding the demeanor of a gentleman from me. I have never said that I am a gentleman. The so-called gentleman is just a term you impose on me.
"Young Master, you have become a bad person." Doudou pointed at Wang Jinling with an old pedantic look, which made everyone laugh.
Wang Jinling has indeed learned bad things. In the past, he would never have argued with the Ninth Uncle. Taking a step back is the usual style of the eldest son.
Facing everyone's teasing, Wang Jinling smiled without saying a word. The sadness of parting faded a lot after this. Everyone skipped the parting farewell and agreed to meet again in Dongling Imperial City.
"Have a safe trip!" Wang Jinling waved to the Ninth Uncle and Feng Qingchen. The dazzling sunlight shone on his face, making it difficult to see his expression at the moment.
"See you in the imperial city!" Feng Qingchen jumped on the horse and waved behind him without looking back.
At the city gate, the general guarding the city had already brought along officials of all ranks from the border, waiting at the city gate for the Ninth Prince to see him off. When they saw the Ninth Prince coming out, the officials greeted him according to their ranks, and took turns stepping forward to present their gifts, expressing their admiration and reluctance to part with the Ninth Prince. Their words all expressed the hope that the Ninth Prince would stay for a while longer, as the security at the border would be better with the Ninth Prince around.
The Ninth Prince looked coldly at this group of people who were telling lies with blatant eyes. After they finished speaking, he responded indifferently and accepted all the gifts.
The smiles on the faces of the border officials were like blooming flowers. They were not at all embarrassed by the coldness of the Ninth Prince's uncle. They bent over all the way and sent the Ninth Prince out of the city gate. When the Ninth Prince's carriage disappeared from sight, the border officials, both big and small, breathed a sigh of relief: This evil star has finally left. If he hadn't left, the people in this border would have died.
Without Mr. Wenyuan and without a set return date, the Ninth Prince was not in a hurry to return to Dongling. He would not travel after dark and would try not to stay overnight in the wild so as to take full care of the injured Doudou.
However, Doudou did not appreciate it, because except for him, everyone else was riding horses along the way, and Doudou was almost bored to death sitting alone in the carriage. He pulled Feng Qingchen and begged for a long time, but Feng Qingchen just smiled and shook his head, and was unwilling to accompany him in the carriage.
Doudou opened the car window several times, trying to find someone to talk to, but no one paid any attention to him. The guards of the Ninth Prince ignored him. Such a big man stood in front of the guards, but they ignored him.
Don’t blame the guards for being arrogant. If you want to blame someone, blame Doudou for being so mean and making the Ninth Prince unhappy.
Although the Ninth Emperor Uncle didn't say anything, as his women and his guards, they had already understood his spirit. There was no need. Along the way, they would never take the initiative to say a word to Doudou, and they vowed to suffocate Doudou to death!
