Chapter 739

"What, borrower?"

Luo qingluan and Xiao Yuqi were equally surprised with the five students of Yuelai inn.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Tianci was surprised to hear such inexplicable news. After hearing about the whole process, their doubts increased, and they felt that things were getting more and more serious.

Luo qingluan's conjecture before was that Nangong Waner had another idea, either to revenge someone or to destroy the marriage. But when she heard what Xiao Tianci said, she felt very puzzled.

"The princess said, let you lend 500 people to her?" Luo qingluan chewed the meaning.

"At the beginning, there were more than 500 people. The three princesses wanted two thousand, but how could the king get so much?"

Xiao Tianci was somewhat embarrassed, but he had to defend himself: "it's not my father! I don't have the courage to raise my own soldiers privately. Our rules in Dongwan are different from those in Western Chu. Let alone me. Even if I'm the emperor's brother, I have only 1000 people at most."

Xiao Yuqi nodded: "yes, the third brother is right."

Since the founding of the people's Republic of China, Dongwan was different from the ancestral system of Western Chu. The imperial power and military forces were absolutely concentrated in the hands of the emperor. Neither the crown prince nor the kings, nor even the Minister of the Ministry of war, can be in charge of the military talisman. The military officers everywhere come from the emperor's gate and are absolutely loyal.

Even if it is to maintain the security of each government, the prince's government has only 1000 private soldiers, and each royal family must not exceed 500, so as to avoid unrest and rebellion.

Of course, these are obvious. The forces, courtiers and governments in Dongwan will more or less exceed the regulations. However, the private soldiers who can enjoy the salary of the imperial court are recorded, and the rest of them can only be placed everywhere under various names, but they can't see the light.

It was said that Nangong Waner wanted to borrow 500 people from Xiao Tianci. Xiao Yuqi asked, "did the princess say why she borrowed so many people?"

"This..."

Xiao Tianci said, "I also asked. After all, these 500 people are not a small number. I'm afraid they have to be allowed by my father. But the three princesses asked me not to say that they are privately lent to her. They also said that I can only listen to those who are good-looking at the wedding, protect safety and escort the dowry. Who knows whether they are true or false."

Luo qingluan said, "I'm afraid it's an excuse. If it's a marriage, your majesty will consider it well. It's definitely not the princess's turn to worry about it. There's absolutely enough hands. But the princess cried and said that your Majesty was bad to her. It seems that she deliberately made an excuse. In fact, she wants to find someone important to the third prince."

If he hadn't heard about Nangong Waner, Xiao Tianci really thought she was a princess who was bullied and not spoiled. Now he was framed by her and almost fooled into a big mistake. He finally understood that people can't judge by appearance.

"I'm forced and helpless. There's no way to refuse. I can only come back and think about ways."

Xiao Tianci had a bitter face. Now he thought about it and was afraid: "you don't know, she used a hairpin to hold her throat in the carriage at that time! If I didn't agree, she really stabbed me down and wrongly said that I wanted to do something wrong. I really... How could I stand such a woman?"

Luo qingluan smiled and joked, "didn't the third prince fall in love with the third princess at first sight? Why did he change so quickly?"

Love? It's too late for him to hide now.

Luo qingluan held all kinds of handles. Xiao Tianci was miserable: "Princess Chu, don't tease me. I'll help you deal with the princess. You promised to help me cure my hidden diseases. It's related to my man's dignity. Don't lie to me."

"Princess Chu kept her word. If you hadn't made such a thing, it wouldn't be today!"

Xiao Yuqi said in a deep voice: "now that it has happened, the most important thing is to solve such a thing. The palace didn't expect that a good marriage would become like this. Now the father and the emperor have known it, and the palace is also preparing for marriage. It will be a big marriage in five months. We must find out before this, otherwise..."

Otherwise, Dongwan will definitely make a big mess if he really wants to marry a problematic third prince and concubine.

"Well, there are five months left. Time is running out."

Nangong Waner was silent for a year. She didn't know what forces she had caught up with and what she was going to do. She dared to steal the Royal treasures of North Vietnam. The plot behind this is definitely not small, even beyond your imagination. Luo qingluan calculated that he must find out who Nangong Waner contacted and what his purpose was as soon as possible in order to prevent things from happening.

Thinking of this, Luo qingluan looked at Xiao Tianci with a smile: "don't worry, Third Prince, next time you tell the third princess that people are ready and can lend them to her at any time."

"Ah?" Xiao Tianci was surprised.

"Naturally, I'll have my hands ready. Just say it's the third prince. Do you understand?" Luo qingluan's eyes flashed, and the whole person seemed confident.

On the other side, Lingxi City, North County.

There was no time to delay. As the main decision-maker of going down the mountain, long Kai decided to cure old lady Guan.

"Even if there is any conspiracy, am I afraid of waiting?"

Long Kai's face was solemn and dignified: "how does the headmaster usually teach you? Do you retreat in case of trouble? Even if the old lady Guan was secretly handed down by someone, because of this, since she was met, we have to cure her."

Chen huding nodded and said loudly, "yes, what martial uncle said is reasonable. If we don't know the old lady, we won't have money. How can we go to the capital of Western Chu to find the eldest martial brother?"

He slapped him on the head, and long Ning said angrily, "Er Hu, you know silver! You don't know what my father said. My father said to save people's lives. Do you understand that you have such a stupid brain?"

"Elder martial sister, did you hit me again?"

"Shouldn't I?"

Seeing that they were going to make trouble again, lengli raised his hand and stopped: "well, Ning'er, don't bully erhu. I'm afraid his head was damaged by you at ordinary times. You still blame him for being stupid."

Seeing that the usually cool and elegant senior brother joked, long Ning was ashamed and blushed: "senior brother, you make fun of me."

"Don't make trouble. What martial uncle said is the most important thing. Younger martial brother will go to the city master's residence with martial uncle later. Don't you worry?"

When he mentioned this, long Ning reacted and hurriedly ran over and hugged Mu Xiaosu's arm: "Xiaosu, tell elder martial sister, are you sure to cure old lady Guan?"

"Elder martial sister, don't hold so tight."

Mu Xiaosu was suddenly held. He just felt a soft thing squeezed on his arm. Where did he know what it was? He didn't dare to push away and move. His face turned red in an instant.

Without realizing it, long Ning leaned over and looked at him: "why, today is not a small fish, but a small Su?"

"Little fish?" When bathing little Sutton, his face changed.

Seeing long Kai glare at himself, long Ning reacted and interrupted: "no, nothing, Xiao Su, you heard wrong. I mean you." Finally let go of his arm. Long Ning stepped back and said unnaturally, "I just want to know if you can cure the old lady."

His eyes were empty for a few seconds, and Mu Xiaosu responded: "should... Be saved?"

……

In the city Lord's residence.

When Mu Xiaosu and long Kai come to Ci'an hall again, Guan Hou is waiting here.

As soon as he saw them, Zhang Ping said, "you're here at last. The governor also came today to see how you treat the old lady. If you're cured, you'll be grateful, but if you cheat the governor, you'll have to eat a whip."

"Hmm ~ ~" Guan Hou's voice sounded: "housekeeper Zhang, how do you talk to the doctor!"

"Yes, yes, sheriff."

One sang red face and the other sang white face. Zhang Ping immediately nodded and bowed down, looked at Mu Xiaosu and changed his face: "please hurry to show the old lady. The old lady suffered all night last night. If she doesn't get cured, I'm afraid it's true..."

Before he finished, long Kai walked in with a calm face. Guan Hou frowned, then unfolded and followed him in. Mu Xiaosu seemed to know nothing and followed long Kai without saying a word.

"Why is the window closed again?" As soon as I went in, I felt dark. Mu Xiaosu said, "the old lady's room needs more ventilation. Don't open the window quickly."

Just as the servant girl was about to move, Guan Hou said, "wait! If you can cure the old lady, the sheriff will give you a thousand liang of silver, but if you can't cure it?"

Long Kai's face sank and said coldly, "Buddha crossing has a fate. Medicine can't cure death. No doctor has ever dared to say that he can absolutely cure patients. Isn't it too hard for adults to say so?"

It's really oppressive. Would he face such a situation if he didn't lack money? A mere northern County Sheriff dared to be arrogant in front of him. If you find his martial nephew, see who dares to despise him!

Mu Xiaosu also immediately said, "Lord Guan, what my martial uncle said is reasonable. Even if we don't give me the rule of man today, the old lady won't live for two days. If we try, there may be a glimmer of vitality."

"Hey, that's not what you said yesterday!"

Zhang Ping pointed to Mu Xiaosu, pointed his trembling fingers at long Kai, and said loudly, "when you came to see the old lady yesterday, you said you could cure it, but you just wanted to find medicine. How come it has changed again today, aren't you a liar? Lord Guan looked forward to the old lady all night, thinking that the old lady was saved, and you..."

"Yesterday... Yesterday is naturally different from today! I, I said to open the window to breathe and avoid filth into the body... But, but you're just bored for another night? Even if the old lady... Can't be cured, you'll suffocate."

Mu Xiaosu's crisp voice was sweet and a little complaining. Guan Hou's face was hot. How could he follow a doctor's advice if it was clear that he would die?

"I won't mention what happened yesterday. Now Jiaci is seriously ill. Please take a look." Guan houpi smiled and said, "if it can be cured, the sheriff will have heavy thanks!"

Ignoring the threat in the words, long Kai held back his displeasure and anger and said in a deep voice, "Xiao Su, go and show the old lady."

Nodding, Mu Xiaosu walked over. The waiting girl immediately picked up a corner of the curtain and poked out the old lady's wrist. However, after feeling the pulse for a moment, Mu Xiaosu knew more and more clearly. He turned to look at the marquis in a timid voice: "sheriff, the old lady is not ill, it is... Someone in the family hurt the old lady."

"What are you talking about?" When his mind clicked, Guan Hou stared at Mu Xiaosu, and a sharp light came out of his pupils.
