늌人?
Who are the 늌 people?
If there are no people standing in this yard, you are the only one.
Besides, they are the guards of the princess, not the guards of the city prince's palace.
"No." Jun Zegan frowned slightly and stepped back: "You are not the palace guards, who are you?"
The guards smiled, and the city prince suddenly realized it.
"Brother." Shang Ruoyi said softly, "They are my bodyguards."
Jun Zegan looked at her, then at the guards, his eyebrows slightly raised, she is a guard?
Not a guard of King Ding's palace.
Looking at the murderous aura emanating from those guards, one could tell that they must have fought on the battlefield.
"Prince Ding is not here, so why are you staying in Tianshun? Why are you coming to our palace in Xiyu City?"
He Jingheng bowed and said, "Hello, brother."
"Who is your older brother?" Jun Zegan said in a deep voice, "Prince Ding has only one sister, Ruoyi, and no other brothers or sisters. Prince Ding should not recognize relatives randomly." He looked at He Jingheng and said in a cold voice, "If I remember correctly, Prince Ding should be older than me."
"You are just a few months older. Since you are Ruoyi's elder brother, you are naturally my elder brother."
Jun Zegan gritted his teeth secretly, what a difficult boss.
"Although my father knows about your affairs, Ruoyi is the one that my father and I hold in our hearts. Not only was she exiled to the wilderness with your Dingguo Palace, but she was also nearly burned to death by your Tianshun Imperial Concubine. Since you can't protect her, my father and I no longer want her to return to Dingguo Palace. Since the people of Tianshun think that Prince Ding's concubine has died in the fire, let them continue to think so!"
He Jingheng heard this and whispered, "I was the one who caused her exile earlier."
"Ruoyi is the real jewel in the crown of the City Prince's Mansion. She must not be treated badly."
Shang Ruoyi looked at Jun Zegan, then turned to He Jingheng and said, "Did you hear clearly? I am not the princess of the Dingwang Palace, but the little princess of the Chengwang Palace."
He Jingheng heard this and smiled helplessly: "I understand, Your Highness."
He understood Shang Ruoyi's intention. Previously, there were many rumors about Tianshun because of her background. Although they did not care, there were always some people who were short-sighted enough to bring this matter to the table. If she was a princess of noble status, marrying him would naturally silence those gossips.
"If your father has already gone to bed and doesn't know that you broke into the palace at night, you should leave quickly if you are smart. Otherwise, if your father finds out, it will be difficult for you to leave." Jun Ze said coldly, "Also, if you keep coming in and out of the palace like this, don't blame me for being rude." He turned to the guards in the courtyard and said, "I don't care who you are or who are my guards. If you let people in again, get out of the palace!"
"yes."
Shang Ruoyi looked at Jun Zegan and couldn't help laughing. She stretched and said sleepily, "You two childish ghosts are so boring. I'm tired and I'm going to rest first. Please do as you please." She walked between the two of them. After taking two steps, she turned back and said, "If you want to fight, go to the outside. Don't do it in my yard. I'm very grumpy when I wake up."
After saying that, she walked into the room and closed the door.
Yuqing, who had been holding the basin of water in the yard, blinked and turned back to get more water.
Jun Zegan turned to He Jingheng and said, "Come with me."
The two came to his yard. There was a training ground behind Jun Zegan's yard, where he practiced swordplay during the day.
"Here are weapons for you to choose from. I've heard that Prince Ding is extremely skilled and proficient in all eighteen martial arts. When we met on the battlefield before, we only deployed troops and never fought with real swords and guns. It would be a pity if I couldn't learn from him when I meet him today."
He Jingheng lazily leaned against the wooden stake next to him and pointed at his head: "If you have a wound on your head, it would be unfair for me to win. Besides, if Ruoyi knew that I had a duel with you, she would definitely be unhappy."
"It's just a normal quarrel. Ruoyi won't be angry."
"When you recover, if you want to discuss it with me, I will be at your service anytime."
Jun Ze laughed dryly: "Okay, since you don't want to fight, how about a round of hand-to-hand combat?"
"With pleasure."
The two men sat opposite each other, Jun Zegan, holding the black piece, made the first move.
"I'm sure you already know that our Western Region Emperor wants to send troops to Tianshun." Jun Zegan whispered, "I wonder what you think?"
"Brother, since you asked this, I think you have a plan in mind."
Hearing him call him brother, Jun Ze glared at him, and seeing that he looked calm, he whispered, "You'd better not recognize relatives randomly. After all, the people of the Western Regions and Tianshun are not yet at the level of calling each other brothers."
"My brother said yes."
Jun Zegan felt as if his chest was blocked by a ball of cotton, neither going up nor down, which was very uncomfortable. But seeing that he had no intention of changing his mind, I didn't want to argue with him any further.
"What does it matter to me what the weather in the Western Regions is like? I only care about Ruoyi."
Jun Zegan glanced at him, dropped a piece, and whispered: "Ruoyi does not want to see the world in chaos, and does not want the people to fall into dire straits, but the emperor's will is not so easy to change."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a noise coming from the door.
"녡子."
He Jingheng whispered, "How?"
Jun Zegan looked at the man in black who walked in. He recognized him as He Jingheng's personal bodyguard, Yuntian.
Good, very good.
What do they think this place is?
You can come and go as you please. Can you treat it as the palace of King Ding?
"The guards know the terrain of our palace very well!"
Hearing his teasing voice, He Jingheng said with a smile: "This is the City Prince's Mansion, which is Ruoyi's mother's home, so I naturally pay more attention to it."
Jun Zegan was so angry that he almost laughed.
"My dear, there is news from the palace that the emperor of the Western Region vomited blood and fainted."
He Jingheng picked up the tea and took a sip, then smiled and said, "But did you tell me why?"
"The national treasury was robbed, and the emperor's private treasury was also completely robbed."
What?
Jun Ze was shocked.
Both the national treasury and the private treasury were stolen?
Only a small number of people knew about the theft from the national treasury, and the news had not spread out. After all, if this matter were to be spread out, it would surely cause people to be uneasy and endanger the country.
Thinking of his father bringing Ruoyi back, his heart sank. Could it be that this matter was related to Ruoyi?
Before he could think about it, He Jingheng put down the chess piece in his hand, smiled and said, "Brother, I'll let you do it."
Jun Zegan looked at the chessboard and found that all the black pieces on the board had been killed by the white pieces.
"I've heard that you are an extraordinary chess player. I saw you today and it's really extraordinary." He smiled and said, "I guess it will be hard to find an opponent here."
"I used to think so, until I met someone."
