Chapter 476 Talking about the meaning of Junqing, let's talk about the heart of ice and snow.
Li Luo'er took a closer look and saw a young man in gorgeous clothes coming proudly surrounded by stars like the moon.
This young man is unrivaled in the beauty of the jade tree, his Taoism is far-reaching and ethereal, his demeanor is noble and he is not angry, he is like the man he likes created by the goddess of creation. It seems that anyone who sees him will sigh for thousands of years.
Even Li Luo'er and Li Xi couldn't help but feel a little distracted when they saw this young man.
In fact, Pankang's appearance is too perfect. It is simply a flawless jade, a legend of creation.
Oh, he is indeed known as the most handsome man in the witchcraft field. No wonder every time Pankang goes out, the female cultivator would "look at him with a dull look".
The Chu State has a special army, which is the "Dao'an Army" voluntarily organized by the noble ladies of the Chu State. They are all composed of women with martial arts level or above. Their number exceeds one hundred thousand, and their combat power is very powerful.
The "Dao'an Army" did not belong to the official Chu army, but it was very loyal to Pankang and claimed to be Pankang's guardian camp.
Why does this female army call itself Daoan Army? Because Pankang is named Daoan!
This shows how much Pankang is loved by the women of Chu. In Li Luoer's view, he is simply the favorite of the women in the Witchland.
However, Li Luoer was obviously a woman with a very low nymphomaniac index, and her resistance to male lust was very strong. She soon became calm and calm.
The more popular Pankang was with women, the more cautious she became.
It was strange to say that when she saw Pan Kang's smile that seemed to come from the bottom of her heart, she felt a little bit of joy that she had never felt before.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Dachu has personally conferred his honor to us, and I am very flattered." Li Luoer held the envoy's talisman in hand and saluted, and said in a formal manner, as if he was doing business.
She is an envoy of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so she should be.
Li Xi bowed his hands and said with a smile: "We haven't seen each other for many years. Brother Pan's Tao Yun has become more and more unpredictable, which really makes my little sister admire him."
Pankang was in high spirits, with a spring breeze on his face. He also bowed naturally, waved his hands and said: "Two junior sisters, please!"
"The noble envoy of the Great Zhou Dynasty has arrived, playing music!"
On the surface he was smiling, but on the inside he was secretly surprised.
This Junior Sister Luo has actually reached the second level of Martial Saint. With such qualifications, she is simply as good as myself.
The mellowness of her Taoist charm is extremely rare, and she is incomparably Qinghua, like a goddess. Even her appearance and temperament are more outstanding than before.
For some reason, when Pankang saw Fairy Luo at this moment, his heart was filled with joy, and his smile became warmer and more friendly, making people feel like they were taking a breath of spring breeze.
Even the ministers of Chu State felt that His Highness the Crown Prince's smile today seemed to come from the bottom of his heart.
Pankang gave the order, and immediately there was melodious fairy music, colorful auspicious clouds, and brilliant rays of light. The scene was both grand and magnificent.
"My lords, Fairy Luo, the Zhou envoy, is the person who saved Fushuiguan before, and she is also Gu's old friend. Today, my old friend has come from afar, and Gu is very happy." Pan Kang introduced solemnly.
He then introduced Li Xi, "This Fairy Xi, many people must know, is General Li, who has joined forces with Da Chu to fight against the Qing Dynasty for more than ten years. He is also an old friend of Gu."
"It's a pleasure to have a friend come from afar. Today, I won't return unless I'm drunk."
When Li Luoer heard Pan Kang's words, "A friend is coming from afar," he immediately judged that Pan Kang was either a human being or a causal being.
He must have awakened the memory of his past life long ago, otherwise he would not know this sentence.
Amidst the grand sound of fairy music, Li Luoer, Li Xi, and Ba Chang, who had just transformed, followed their master Pan Kang into the majestic and majestic Chu Palace.
"Junior sister Luo, your Chang Tian Xian Luan has transformed so quickly." Pan Kang said as he walked away, looking away from Ba Chang.
Li Luoer smiled brightly: "I haven't thanked Senior Brother Pan for giving me such an expensive gift. Well, this may be the most expensive gift that Brother Pan has given me."
She used the word 'maybe', which of course meant something.
It means that there may be something more valuable in the future, so I can only use "maybe".
Smart people will understand.
It just so happens that Pankang is a smart person.
After hearing this, Li Xi couldn't help but secretly complain, thinking to herself: "Junior Sister Luo, are you asking for a gift? I've already given you so many things. You don't really think that Pan Kang is the one who was taken advantage of, do you?"
Pankang smiled as he walked: "Junior Sister Luo's words are really interesting, hehe, hehe."
Li Luoer's expression did not change, he just pretended that he said it unintentionally and looked calm.
Pankang couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, this Li Luo'er has already reached the level of martial arts master, why is he still so thick-skinned?
If she doesn't mean anything to him, then he will definitely not send good things to her anymore. No matter how many good things she has, they are not brought by strong winds.
Junior Sister Luo is a cunning person, so she has to control her state of mind. He has already given her enough, so don't let her coax you into giving her good things.
However, she still has to thank her for rescuing Fushuiguan. One code belongs to the other, public is public and private is private.
Fairy Luo was also a little overwhelmed and confused at this time.
There is a saying: "When Fairy Luo entered the Chu Palace, she was in a dilemma; when Pan Dao met the envoys of Zhou, he could distinguish between public and private matters."
After the group entered the palace, Pan Kang said with a smile: "Brother, I would like to invite Junior Sister Luo to have tea with me on the platform. Is that possible?"
After speaking, he pointed to the highest tower in the palace. That high platform overlooked the entire capital and was very empty.
This means we have to talk alone. But Pankang is very measured. He chose the companion platform, not the quiet room.
At least this location makes Fairy Luo feel at ease.
"As you wish." Fairy Luo smiled sweetly, "Brother Pan, please."
The two of them boarded the accompanying platform, and when they saw Chu Jing's majestic momentum and the bright stars and moon in the sky, they suddenly felt a sense of openness and boundlessness.
The platform is vast and empty, with no houses or pavilions, only a stone table and a few stone benches.
A big moon rises, and the moonlight is like a dream. Under the clear light, on the stone table, a man and a woman are drinking together, like a matchless pair.
Pankang personally poured a cup of Ancient Moon Daoming for Fairy Luo, and said in a quiet tone: "You and I have known each other for many years. Junior Sister Luo is very smart, how could she not know my feelings?"
"Eight years ago, I entrusted Junior Sister Li Xi to be the matchmaker and tell the secret story. Junior Sister Luo was ambiguous and her heart was unpredictable."
"Now, the bright moon is rising again, the breeze is blowing by, and there is no one else but you and me. Junior Sister Luo, can you speak your mind frankly? I am trying to calm down, how can I force someone to do something difficult for me? Junior Sister, you can speak frankly."
"It's all right. However, as a brother, I want to hear a few heartfelt words from my junior sister. I can tell you frankly that since I was a child, except for my junior sister, there is no woman who has attracted my attention."
"You are different from them."
This rating is very high and it seems that it is not a lie.
After Pankang finished speaking, he smiled slightly and drank the tea in his own way.
Li Luoer's eyes were clear, without any impurities, and she looked extremely pure. Her tone also had the right warmth:
"Brother Pan, you have the appearance of a celestial being and a divine dragon. There is no other young hero in the world. Just like this big moon hanging in the sky, shining brightly all over the world, how many women in the world are indifferent to you, Brother Pan?"
"Brother Pan can favor my little sister, but she is not a tree, a tree, a stone. If you say you are unmoved, I won't believe it myself."
Li Luoer poured tea for Pankang, "Although my little sister doesn't know what he is, she still has feelings for Brother Pan, but she still cares about him. If nothing else, the Qing Dynasty dispute is extremely dangerous, and I often worry about Brother Pan's safety.
Woolen cloth."
"My little sister is also very happy to see Brother Pan today. My Taoist heart is like a mirror, I can reflect my inner thoughts, how can I deceive myself and others?"
Pankang understood. Li Luoer meant that he was also interested in him.
But her feelings were like the rising waters of a river, illuminated by the bright moon, not strong enough, and not yet to the point where she was willing to marry her.
She seems to have a lot of worries, but she is definitely not indifferent to herself. Based on this judgment, he still has confidence.
It's no wonder. This woman is different. She is wild and cunning. She is a naturally confident and twisted woman. How could she marry him so easily?
If she were so easy, I would have to hesitate.
You know, in today's world of great strife, the situation is unclear. How can a cunning and intelligent person like Li Luoer easily take sides?
If she marries him now, won't she have to be buried with him if the Chu Kingdom is destroyed in the future?
Even if there is no compensation for the burial, the end of the subjugated queen will definitely not be much better.
Therefore, it is normal for her to have concerns. If she is really a woman who is desperate for the love between a man and a woman, then there are many women who can do this to herself, so why choose her?
She was chosen because she is qualified to be his queen. And Queen Dachu must not act emotionally!
Fortunately, he himself is never in a hurry. He is so young, why should he be in a hurry?
Nowadays, fighting for the world is the most important thing, not the love between children. He does value Li Luoer, but he values the alliance between the two countries and the safety of Dachu more.
"Junior sister Bing Xin, I already know that." Pan Kang smiled with relief, "A marriage can be slow, but an alliance can be urgent. If you and I are really destined, we will be part of it in the future."
"Well, you and I will meet each other for a hundred years. If we don't meet each other for a hundred years, we will be separated."
After a hundred years of no fate, one parting can lead to two hardships?
When Li Luoer heard this, he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart. The lake in his heart was slightly rippling, the wind rippled, and his starry eyes couldn't help but feel a little confused.
She lowered her head, looked at the moon in the tea cup, observed the stretching and undulating tea leaves, and seemed to be attracted by the fluff on the tea leaves.
Pankang looked up at the bright moon with a lingering gaze. He was clearly drinking tea, but he seemed to be drinking wine.
He seemed slightly drunk.
He said slowly: "Even if you agree to marry me now, I can't agree. Only God knows what will happen in the future."
"In this world of witchcraft, there can only be one country. To tell you the truth, I have no chance of winning. In fact, the chances of winning are small and the chances of losing are not small."
Li Luoer breathed a sigh of relief immediately.
Pankang is still very easy to talk to. For this kind of person, all you need to do is tell the truth.
The complexity of her mood at this moment cannot be described in words.
Just like the tea in the cup, it is astringent and slightly bitter, bitter but sweet, sweet and warm, long and gentle.
And Pankang is also like this cup of tea.
well…
"How can I get married before the situation is clear?" Pankang said with a somewhat lonely look.
"The future of Da Chu is uncertain. Life and death are determined by fate, success or failure is determined by heaven. I don't know what the future will be like. Since it belongs to you, of course I can't let you get involved."
"It is rare for me, Pankang, to be moved by a woman. I want to make her feel at ease. She has no luck, and there is no need to shoulder the safety of Chu State with me."
When Li Luoer heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little moved. At the same time, he also felt emotional, how high-spirited, confident and proud Pankang was back then?
But now, the words actually sound a bit sad.
The dignified Prince Chu was indeed full of sincerity when he was able to speak openly in front of him.
She raised her clear eyes and looked into Pan Kang's eyes calmly, "Da Chu just suffered a slight setback and is temporarily on the defensive. Why did His Highness say such depressing words? If word spread, wouldn't it damage the morale of the army?"
Pankang looked indifferent, "I believe you, because at least in the fight against the Qing Dynasty, you are one of our own. I am convinced of this."
He stood up and looked into the void with his hands behind his hands, his eyes far away, "There are countless people in this world who hope that I will fail. But at least you are the one who doesn't want to see me fail."
Li Luo'er also stood up, standing side by side with Pan Kang, looking at the starry sky together. The sky wind blew powerfully, and the two of them had their clothes and long hair flying, as if they were going to ride the wind back together.
"Yes, I do hope that you will be safe and sound." Li Luoer looked sideways at Pan Kang with a smile.
"Brother Pan is so generous in his actions, which is unique in the world. Such a good person must of course have a perfect path and live a long life. Otherwise, wouldn't it be my loss?"
"Haha!" Pan Kang couldn't help laughing loudly, shook his head and exclaimed:
"You, you, there are many greedy people in the world. But you are as talented as you, as beautiful as you, and as good as you, but there is still no one who is satisfied. Only you have one ear."
He didn't expect that this woman wanted to be so frank in asking for benefits, and her words were so sweet, which made him find it hard to dislike her.
Who can tell the truth, there is no other woman besides her who dares to ask for favors from him like this.
Pankang originally had a lump in his chest, but now he felt relaxed and the stagnation in his heart was gone.
Li Luo'er also laughed brightly and said: "It's just a joke. Brother Pan, please don't take it seriously. If Brother Pan doesn't have the world in his heart, his magnanimity, and his wealth in the South... well, let's not talk about this, let's talk about big things."
She knows how to measure things and stop when she's ready.
"I also know that the Qing army has the support of the Youyu tribe, the Hailiu tribe, and even the Blood tribe, and its military strength has greatly increased. Previously, King Wu invaded Chu and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, causing Chu to suffer heavy losses. But..."
"But with Brother Pan's background, he must have counterattack means. Why are you so worried and unable to do anything?"
Pankang was silent for a while and then said: "Because the Youyu tribe is my reinforcements!"
Li Luo'er was startled when she heard this. She didn't expect that the Youyu tribe was originally the reinforcements of the Chu Kingdom.
"Then why..." It was hard for Li Luo'er to imagine that Jiang Zhengyi could actually poach Pankang and make the Youyu tribe who originally supported the Chu State turn to support the Qing State.
Pankang continued: "I am either in charge of military affairs at the front or handling major political affairs in the court. It is difficult to do other things personally. Therefore, the matter of uniting the Youyu clan was handed over to King Pan Guang of Wu."
"So all these years, Panguang has been negotiating with the Youyu tribe. In order to convince the Youyu tribe, I used Da Chu's special resources, and I don't know how much wealth I spent."
"I thought that since he was a direct descendant of the Pan family and the king of Wu of Chu, he would of course be loyal to the Chu state. But I never imagined that he would lead the Youyu clan in the end, betray the country and surrender to the enemy, and serve the Qing state!"
Only then did Li Luoer understand that it turned out that the Youyu tribe was brought to the Qing chariot by Pan Guang. The Youyu tribe took the vast resources of the Chu State, but in the end they served the Qing Dynasty.
Pankang was able to convince the Youyu clan, and it was indeed a very clever one. It was a pity that he was entrusted to an inhumane person and wasted so much resources and efforts. In the end, he made a wedding dress for his enemy Jiang Zhengyi.
So angry.
All this is because of Panguang.
It’s no wonder that Pan Kang handed over the important matter of uniting the Youyu clan to Pan Guang. Who would have thought that Pan Guang, with his status, would rebel against his own family and the Chu State?
What does he want?
If it weren't for Pan Guang's rebellion, then the Chu State would have had the Youyu Clan as a powerful ally, which would have been enough to confront the Qing State, which had the support of the Haizhu Clan, and it would not have been at a disadvantage so far.
It's really one person's mistake, and the whole game is passive.
No wonder Pankang was worried and worried. This was not only a heavy loss, but also bad for the morale of the army. It was also humiliating and a great loss of face.
No one can stand it.
Li Luoer frowned, "This is very abnormal. What does he want? A magic weapon? A woman?"
Pankang shook his head, "To this day, I don't know why. Maybe Jiang Zhengyi can give him the treasure that I can't give. Maybe he doesn't want me to be the prince and wants me to be unlucky."
Li Luoer thought for a while and said slowly: "You can't even think of the reason, which is the key to the matter. I once heard a story when I was in my hometown."
story?
Pankang did not interrupt her, knowing that she must have something to say.
Li Luoer said eloquently: "There are two families who have been feuding for many years, but because they are equally matched, no one can destroy the other..."
"Suddenly one day, something tragic happened to one of the families. The younger brother killed his older brother and cut off his head as a pledge of surrender. He went to join the enemy and was favored by the enemy..."
"...This family is very angry, but there is nothing they can do. Because of the major event of killing their brother and defecting, the family began to go downhill, becoming more and more passive, and was gradually suppressed by the enemy..."
"...So the enemy finally took action, preparing to completely destroy the family. But just when the enemy took action, the younger brother who had taken refuge with the enemy suddenly took action, inflicting heavy losses on the enemy. It turned out..."
When Pan Kang heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Junior Sister Luo's story is very exciting. Do you think this is Pan Guang's trick? If it was a trick, why didn't he tell me?"
"The Chu State has suffered so much loss because of his rebellion, so the price of this cruel trick may not be too high."
Li Luoer said: "My little sister is just guessing. You are in the game, and he is your brother, so you are easily blinded. Think about it, even you yourself don't believe it is a trick, so where is Jiang Zhengyi?"
"In other words, if I can't deceive you, can I also not deceive Jiang Zhengyi? Is this the reason for not telling you?"
"Haha. If the reason is really like the story in my hometown, then it means that King Panguang of Wu was a man who risked everything for the great cause of Chu State and endured humiliation and heavy burdens."
"Of course, this is just my guess. His betrayal will have a huge impact on your confidence. After all, he is your own brother. Outsiders don't know that you actually have a deep relationship with each other."
"You are too smart and too proud. You have never failed. You have always won, so this kind of blow is the most fatal to you."
"Now I will tell you my guess. All this may be Pan Guang's trick. Will it make you feel better? The smarter a person is, the more he will cling to reasons. Now there is a reason."
"Hahaha!" Pankang felt happy, "Okay, Junior Sister Luo. So the possibility of your guess is very small, but my mood is indeed much better."
"I have wanted to let go of this matter for a long time, but I can't find a reason to let it go. After listening to your words, I finally have a reason to let it go. Junior Sister Luo, thank you."
"It's not that easy for Jiang Zhengyi to defeat me. How can I really have no backup plan? I'm just worried and unhappy in my heart, but I can't let the officials see it. Now, I'm fine."
He had a past life. But he is not the same person in this past life. It is impossible for him to truly have an iron heart and be invulnerable to all poisons because of his past life. How can he let go of the heavy losses caused by his brother's betrayal?
But Li Luoer's words finally made him feel completely relieved. He just lacked a reason.
"Brother Pan, why do you need to thank me?" Li Luo'er frowned, "A generous person will have great luck. Brother Pan is just too lucky, so he has this calamity. If you can relieve the knot in your heart, I will do the same for you."
You are happy."
"Well, the Brother Pan in my heart is not only generous and generous, but also full of confidence and wisdom."
Pankang laughed again, feeling that he had not been so happy for a long time.
Yes, the woman I, Pankang, had my eye on, did not disappoint me.
This is your perfect match.
"I have something that I want to give to Junior Sister Luo." Pan Kang felt warm in his heart, and he was so happy that he finally decided to give Li Luo'er a big gift.
