Chapter 16: A Dream in the Red Dust

"Tongtong!"

"Um?"

Xue Mei Tong looked back and looked at Phantom with surprise. This seemed to be the first time that Phantom had called her by her given name so seriously.

"Tongtong, do you know why I'm drunk tonight?"

Xue Meitong shook her head, "I don't know."

Phantom lay comfortably on the roof with her hands spread out, her eyes falling on the bright moon in the sky, and she said softly: "Tongtong, do you want to leave? Leave here and live the life you want..."

"May I?"

Xue Mei Tong looked sideways at Phantom. Although she was looking forward to it, she knew it was no longer possible. She smiled bitterly and replied calmly: "Once I enter the Marquis, it is as deep as the sea. Do you really think I can still choose?"

The phantom is silent.

Xue Mei Tong smiled, not as heavy-hearted as Phantom. She joked: "Phantom, can I tell you a joke?"

"Joke? What joke?"

"Once upon a time, two tomatoes met to go shopping. The first tomato suddenly walked very fast, and the second tomato asked: Where are we going? The first tomato didn't answer, and the second tomato asked again.

The first tomato still didn’t answer, and the second tomato asked again. The first tomato finally slowly turned around and said: Aren’t we tomatoes? Can we talk?”

Suddenly, a cold wind blew past, picking up a piece of withered yellow leaf and falling on Phantom's hair.

The phantom looked at Xue Meitong speechlessly, while a certain woman was obviously still unconscious and continued to say with a playful smile: "Once upon a time, there was a match. It walked on the road, and walked, and walked, and walked, and walked, and walked.

Let's go...it suddenly felt an itch on its head, so it scratched, scratched, scratched, scratched, scratched...Later, it burned itself, and finally died..."

Phantom "..."

Seeing the speechless and constipated expression on Phantom's face, Xue Meitong stopped bombarding her with cold jokes. She looked at Phantom strangely and asked curiously: "Phantom, what's wrong with you? Why do I feel like you are very cold?"

Cold... yes very cold... indeed very cold...

They all got cold feet from your jokes!

Phantom felt that although she did not have the talent to tell jokes, Xue Mei Tong was obviously not suitable for telling jokes.

Because, although his jokes cannot make people laugh, Xuetong's jokes can directly chill people to death.

It is really……

well……

"How are you? Are you feeling better?"

Xue Mei Tong looked at Phantom with a squinted smile, with a pure face and no sense of doing anything wrong. Phantom shook his head, not feeling funny in his heart. Although Xue Mei Tong's joke was cold, it made him feel a lot less depressed. He

Said: "Girl, thank you!"

"You're welcome!"

The meaning of friends is to care for each other and help each other! You once accompanied me and warmed me. Now, it’s my turn to repay you!

"Phantom, you haven't told me yet, why are you unhappy?"

Originally, Xue Mei Tong shouldn't ask. However, she still couldn't help but ask. Her eyes were bright, full of expectation, and she felt uneasy. She was not completely sure that Phantom was willing to tell her.

Phantom chuckled, rubbed the top of Xue Meitong's hair vigorously, and said teasingly, "Girl, you are getting more and more courageous, and you dare to interfere with my affairs!"

Xue Meitong immediately said in a very disrespectful manner, "You don't have to say it!"

Saying so is equivalent to admitting that he has a crush on her, and the last thing a killer can have is love!

"Girl, thank you tonight!"

As soon as the words fell, the person jumped into the night sky, leaving only the fragrance of wine lingering faintly, lingering in Xue Meitong's heart, lingering for a long time.



Morning comes unknowingly.

"Knock knock knock!"

"Who-"

She had no sleep last night and was about to fall asleep in the morning. She was sleeping soundly when she heard a knock on the door in a daze. She responded lazily with sleepy eyes, shrank back, and hugged the quilt in her hand more tightly.

"Princess, it's me! Are you up?"

"Um - housekeeper - is there something wrong?"

"Princess, it will be the prince's birthday in a few days. I came here to inform the princess."

"Oh...I know..."

Xuemei Tong responded in a daze, turned over and lay face forward, and fell asleep hazily again. Suddenly, a flash of light flashed in front of her eyes, Xuemei Tong suddenly opened her eyes, turned over and sat up.

What did she just hear?!



"Princess, it will be the prince's birthday in a few days. I came here to inform the princess."



The prince’s birthday?! Feng Qingge’s birthday?!

It’s Feng Qingge’s birthday?!

He opened the quilt, stood up in a hurry, put on his shoes, and suddenly sat down again.

What does Feng Qingge's birthday have to do with her? Does the housekeeper need to go out of his way to inform her?

Curving her index finger slightly and touching her chin, Xue Mei Tong thought seriously. She felt that it was definitely not the housekeeper's idea to tell her this matter. If it wasn't the housekeeper's idea, then it was Feng Qingge's? Why did Feng Qingge

Should he tell her specifically? Was he hinting to her that she wanted to celebrate his birthday?

Just thinking about it, I couldn't think of a reason. Xue Meitong decided to go to Feng Qingge to ask for clarification.

After briefly freshening up, she left the yard and went straight to the yard where Feng Qingge lived. Along the way, she met the maids and guards and saluted her when they saw her. After she responded politely, she grabbed someone with a higher rank and asked:

"Where is the prince?"

The captain of the guard replied: "Returning to the princess, Prime Minister Mu and General Leng are visiting, and the prince is meeting guests in the study."

"knew!"

After sending the captain of the guard away, Xue Meitong walked to Feng Qingge's study. As soon as she arrived at the door of the study, she heard Leng Junyi's voice coming from the study, "The emperor wishes you to go on an expedition after your birthday."

Going on an expedition?! There's going to be a war?!

Xuemei Tong was stunned, and then she remembered what Feng Biqing had told her. After thinking about it in her mind, she stepped lightly and slowly approached the study, wanting to hear what Qing Feng Qingge and Leng Junyi were talking about.

Feng Qingge snorted, "Huh! It's just a small country, so there's no need for me to lead an army on an expedition. Feng Longxiang clearly doesn't like me and wants to transfer me to the border. He also likes to keep his eyes open!"

Mu Qingfei replied: "Qingge, don't underestimate the Tianji Kingdom. I heard that they recently obtained a magical weapon, which is so powerful that it can destroy cities and kill people even if they are hundreds of miles away. That's why the leader of the Tianji Kingdom is

Dare to mobilize troops and invade the border with the intention of annexing dozens of small towns at the border of Fengyu Kingdom."

Feng Qingge sneered, "What kind of magic weapon is so powerful? I really want to see it!"

Leng Junyi said: "I have asked the emperor for permission to go on the expedition with you."

Feng Qingge patted Leng Junyi on the shoulder with her big palm, "Good brother!"

Magical weapon? It can destroy cities and kill people even hundreds of miles apart? Could it be a bomb?!

Xue Meitong thought about it, but this was definitely not an ordinary bomb...

Could it be...

gun?!

In this era of cold weapons, there should be no such thing as artillery shells? Or is it that Tianji Kingdom has become so advanced that it even invented artillery shells?
