Chapter 21 The Joyful Prince
Duanmu Xiaoyun also had a hard time buying a gift for the prince of Xiaoyao, buying less, looking stingy, buying too much, and looking vulgar. I really couldn't think of any good ideas, so I had to turn to the other three for help.
Zhu Youcai first expressed his opinion: "You guys think about what to buy first, if you really can't think of it, I still have some demon leopard meat here, just send the old prince a meal of roast demon leopard meat, that is, I am a little tired, this is nothing, for the sake of my brother, I will let it go." ”
Duanmu Xiaoyun glared at Zhu Youcai: "Stay aside, that is, you will come up with these bad ideas." "Everyone, you and I are talking a word, on the streets of Ziyun City, discussing as we walk. Seeing that the sun is on the sun, I haven't figured out what to buy, time waits for no one, and in the end, there is really no way. Lu Qingfeng said at this time: "I have an idea, how about you listen to it." ”
The three of them said almost in unison: "Qingfeng, you say quickly, what do you think?"
"I want to give the Flesh Regeneration Pill to the prince," Lu Qingfeng said slowly: "The old prince was born in the military, and he will definitely be interested in this Flesh and Blood Regeneration Pill, we just need to buy another brocade box and put it up, so that it is not too much, but it is very precious." ”
"Qingfeng, this can't work" Duanmu Xiaoyun immediately retorted: "The Flesh and Blood Regeneration Pill is your own thing, and it is so precious, how can I be embarrassed to let you break the bank." ”
"Xiaoyun, it's not right for you to say that," Lu Qingfeng said: "If you still treat me as a brother, accept this pill, if you don't take me as a brother, you will part ways." ”
Duanmu Xiaoyun saw that Lu Qingfeng had already said no words, so he had no choice but to accept this flesh and blood regeneration pill, and there was a warm current flowing in his heart, thinking: This is the real brother, think about the brother everywhere, solve problems for the brother, die for the brother, have this brother in this life, and have no regrets in this life.
Later, the four of them came to a gift shop, spent a hundred taels of gold, bought the most valuable brocade box, and put this flesh and blood regeneration pill into it.
Xiaoyao Wangfu is in the middle of Ziyun City, with an area of fifty square kilometers, dividing the north and south main streets of Ziyun City into two halves, saying that it is a royal mansion, it is already a little inappropriate, this is simply a city within a city, the palace wall is the same as the city wall of Ziyun City, but it is only slightly smaller. On the east side of the palace, across the road, is the city lord's mansion of Ziyun City, the area of the city lord's mansion is only one-fifth the size of the palace, and compared with the majestic majesty of the palace, the city lord's mansion seems very small.
Lu Qingfeng and his entourage of four people walked on the sidewalk of the main street in the north and south, far apart, and saw the appearance of the palace, seeing such a palace, Lu Qingfeng's heart was really shocked, just a palace, the area is equivalent to half the size of Canglan City, it can be seen how huge Purple Cloud City will be.
Soon came to the door of the palace, the street in front of the palace was deserted, ordinary people were not allowed to pass through the street in front of the palace at all, even if the important members of the court came here, they had to get off the sedan chair of the civil officials, and the military attache got off the horse, which was the same as the rules in front of the palace.
Lu Qingfeng and the four of them walked across the East and West Streets to the front of the palace, walking here, as long as there are no obstacles, no matter how far away they are, they will be easily discovered. The sixteen elite soldiers guarding the palace have already discovered the traces of the four people, and they are waiting in front of the palace gate, as long as they find the suspicious place of the four people, they will come forward and attack them in groups, and the dignity of the palace cannot be trampled on in the slightest.
When the four of them entered the small square in front of the palace, one of the sixteen soldiers recognized Duanmu Xiaoyun, and the soldier immediately reported to the team leader: "Report to the team leader, I see that the young man who walked in front is like Duanmu Xiaoyun, the eldest son of Marshal Duanmu Zhantian's family." ”
"Really?" the squad leader immediately looked at the soldier, glared and said, "Look carefully, if you really go on a business trip, needless to say that it's you, even I can't afford this responsibility." ”
"Captain, you can't be mistaken. The soldier said very decisively: "Two years ago, Marshal Duanmu Zhantian brought Duanmu Xiaoyun to the palace, and that day, I was also standing guard here, and I was very impressed by Duanmu Gongzi. ”
"Then you can go over and have a look," the team leader ordered, "If you find anything abnormal, you shout, and we'll go right over." ”
"Yes," the soldier replied, and immediately ran towards Lu Qingfeng and the others.
When the four saw a soldier running from the palace, they immediately stopped and waited for the soldier to arrive. As the distance approached, the soldier saw more and more clearly, who else could this be Duanmu Prince, the guess was confirmed, the soldier was very excited, his steps became more and more brisk, and soon, the soldier arrived in front of the four people, looked at Duanmu Xiaoyun, and said respectfully: "Duanmu Prince, you are finally here, my young lady is sick when you think about it." ”
"Miss's illness is serious," Duanmu Xiaoyun's face immediately showed an anxious look: "You quickly take me into the palace." The soldier agreed, turned around and ran towards the palace quickly, Duanmu Xiaoyun followed, and Lu Qingfeng and the three of them also followed. Although the three of them thought of something in their hearts, they didn't say it, but just followed silently.
The team leader stood at the front and looked at the few people who came over, according to the agreement with this soldier, he already knew that among the four people who came, there was indeed Duanmu Prince.
The soldier came to the squad leader with the four of them, and without waiting for the soldier to speak, Duanmu Xiaoyun pointed at the soldier and said to the squad leader, "Let him take me in." ”
The team leader didn't know Duanmu Xiaoyun, but he knew that his soldiers would never be untargeted, and since it had been determined that it was Duanmu Dagong, he would definitely not be able to stop him. Seeing Duanmu Xiaoyun's anxious look, the team leader also hurriedly said, "Duanmu Gongzi, please come in." ”
The five of them flashed into the palace and ran forward like wind and lightning, Duanmu Xiaoyun knew that although he was concerned about Miss, he couldn't mess with the etiquette, and the first thing he did when he arrived here was to go to see the prince first.
Duanmu Xiaoyun asked the soldier to lead the way, purely to thank the soldier and let him know the news of Miss's illness in advance, in fact, Duanmu Xiaoyun was very familiar with every corner of the palace.
When he arrived at the door of the living room of the palace, Duanmu Xiaoyun stopped, took out a hundred taels of gold and handed it to the soldier, saying, "Brother, thank you, this hundred taels of gold is a little thankful, please accept it." ”
When the soldier saw this one hundred taels of gold, he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion, one hundred taels of gold, that is, ten thousand taels of silver, his ten-year salary is not so much, one hundred taels of silver, you can make a family of five live with plenty of food and clothing for a year, stretched out his hands to tie the one hundred taels of gold, the soldier said respectfully: "Thank you for the great son, the great grace of the eldest son, the small one is remembered, you still have something, the small one does not delay your time, and he will retire first." ”
As soon as the soldiers left, the door of the palace hall had already opened, and a person came out of it and walked directly to Duanmu Xiaoyun, smiling as he walked: "Xiaoyun, why don't you notify you when you come, I will go to pick you up." ”
Duanmu Xiaoyun said with a smile: "Hao Bo has worked hard all day, how dare you work hard." ”
"You, you can speak better than two years ago," Hao Bo said with a smile: "Go, go to the hall, the prince will be there in a while." When he arrived at the hall and sat down, Duanmu Xiaoyun said: "Uncle Hao, these three are my friends of life and death, this is Lu Qingfeng, and now he is a cultivator at the peak of the Upper True Realm, and it is not a problem to kill fifth-order demonic beasts." This is He Tianyun, and this is Zhu Youcai. Next, Duanmu Xiaoyun said again: "Qingfeng, Tianyun, talented, this old man is Hao Bo, the head of the palace, who has been born and died with the prince countless times, between the two. Like a brother. ”
The two sides met separately, and saw Duanmu Xiaoyun and said: "Uncle Hao, I haven't seen you for two years, I see that white hair has appeared on your head, there are so many housekeepers in the palace, what do you have to worry about." ”
"It's not about you," Hao Bo glanced at Duanmu Xiaoyun and said: "Since you left a year ago, Miss's love has been low, and she rarely speaks, and since last month, she doesn't talk at all, and every day she sits alone in the gazebo in the garden, no one is seen, and people are a lot haggard." ”
Listening to Hao Bo's words, Duanmu Xiaoyun's heart twitched, and he couldn't help but fall into deep memories: When Nanrong Xiaoyao was still the eldest prince, he lived in the imperial capital, and had the best relationship with Duanmu Zhantian. At that time, Nanrong Xiaoyao's wife was also pregnant, and Nanrong Xiaoyao said to Duanmu Zhantian that his wife gave birth to a girl, and the two families would be in-laws.
When Duanmu Xiaoyun was one year old, Nanrong Xiaoyao's wife really gave birth to a daughter, named Nanrong Xiaoxuan, the elders of the two families, and deliberately let the two children be together often. When Duanmu Xiaoyun was eight years old and Nanrong Xiaoxuan was seven years old, Nanrong left the imperial capital and came to Ziyun City. However, the memories of childhood are deeply buried in my heart, two years ago, Duanmu Xiaoyun came to Ziyun City with his father, and after Duanmu Zhantian left, Duanmu Xiaoyun stayed in the palace, and Duanmu Xiaoyun lived in the Xiaoyao Mansion for a whole year.
That year was Nanrong Xiaoxuan's happiest year, the happiest year, and the unforgettable year of his life. Almost every inch of the palace with a radius of fifty square kilometers has left their footprints, and everyone in the palace still remembers the laughter like silver bells, echoing throughout the palace. That graceful and colorful dance posture makes people never forget each other.
Just when Duanmu Xiaoyun fell into his memory, a loud laugh pulled him back into reality.
