Chapter 28 Invitation Letter from Blood Moon Kingdom
"First of all, can you explain to me the origin of the name Lan Yue Lou? Your Highness the Third? Your Highness the Fifth?"
Mo Lanyue faced the two young men of high status angrily with her hands on her hips, vowing to seek an explanation for herself.
This is too suffocating. What's wrong with using her name as the name of a brothel? Why don't you make it a little more ironic and just hang her name on the latrine? It would be a notorious thing.
Gu Lieyang shrugged and threw the hot potato directly to Gu Liege. Gu Liege was stunned for a while, then suddenly turned to Mo Lanyue with a flattering smile and said, "Don't be angry, little girl, I don't think about you.
The name is quite nice, and adding the word "lou" is also quite pleasing to the eye. Anyway, we didn't think of a better name, so we just... borrowed your name a little bit."
"The so-called borrowing means asking the owner for permission before using it. Is this called stealing?"
"I've used it all, what do you want?"
Guleg said extremely helplessly.
When he first named her, he just used her name out of fun, and the name Lan Yue Lou is indeed very good, both in terms of reading and appearance, it makes people like it.
Gu Lieyang's expression of 'I told you not to do this' turned to the audience, and Mo Lanyue's bombardment had nothing to do with him.
"Changed the name!"
"This is not okay. Changing the name rashly will arouse suspicion."
Regarding Mo Lanyue's proposal, Guleg refused without thinking.
Mo Lanyue glared at Gulege hard, and she had the urge to strangle him to death. Fortunately, she was worried that he was sick and couldn't move around. She thought about whether she should visit him. She felt sorry for herself for being so stupid.
I deeply regret the thought.
"Then the Third Highness will deduct another month from my guard duty period, and I can consider forgiving you."
Mo Lanyue looked at Gu Lieyang and saw that Gu Lieyang was already shaking his head, "You should know that this is impossible."
"Don't look at me, I don't even know what your guard job is for."
Guleg crossed his hands in front of him, as if Mo Lanyue would rush over to fight with him at any time.
In fact, Mo Lanyue's mood at this time was indeed the same.
"Then how are you going to compensate me?!"
They couldn't give her what she wanted, and she felt helpless. Should she just let Na Lan Yue Lou continue to operate?
"At worst, when everything is done, I will give you Lan Yue Tower! You can earn a lot of silver in a month!"
In view of Mo Lanyue's frighteningly dark complexion, Guleg decided to reluctantly give up. He thought that he had spent a lot of money when he started to prepare for the establishment of Lanyue Tower. It had just opened and the principal had not been earned back yet.
Mo Lanyue twisted her waist and pointed her butt at the two stubborn young men. She found that trying to reason with them was no easier than trying to be polite with Ye Caiyun.
"Third brother, this..."
Even this failed to coax Mo Lanyue, and Gulege had no idea for a while.
Gu Lieyang motioned for him to sit down, "It's just a temporary thing for a child to be angry. Are you still afraid that she will be angry with you for the rest of her life? Let's talk about it."
Gu Lieyang had said so, and Gu Liege had no choice but to return to the original topic, but he always vaguely felt that he was being stared at. Occasionally, when he looked back, Mo Lanyue had already shifted his attention to the hibiscus cake.
superior.
"The woman that the fourth brother is obsessed with is called Liu Ruyan. She has been favored by me and has been kept by me in a private house outside the palace. This time I let two women in, one is Liu Ruyan and the other
It's Du Xiaoqing, but Xiaoqing seems to be less lucky and doesn't get the attention of fourth brother."
Mo Lanyue listened at the side and thought to herself that Du Xiaoqing should be the lucky one. No woman who sells her body will end up well, let alone an Infernal Affairs beauty.
Although she had different opinions in her heart, Mo Lanyue did not try to interrupt the conversation between them again. She knew that Gu Lieyang asked her to stay out of his trust in her, and perhaps it was also a way to express his closeness to her.
, and there is a limit to his patience with her. If she continues to be unreasonable and unreasonable, he may criticize her for being too pampered.
She still had to give the face she deserved, especially to these three His Highnesses. He was her long-term meal ticket, and she didn't want to rely on anyone else in the short term.
"So……"
Just as Gu Lieyang was about to continue speaking, a eunuch suddenly came outside and summoned Gu Lieyang to meet the emperor in the royal study.
"Since Father has summoned me, there must be something urgent. Third brother, you'd better get there quickly."
Gu Lieyang nodded and followed the eunuch out.
There was silence all the way. When Gu Lieyang walked into the imperial study, a teacup was thrown at him.
He dodged it easily, but his heart sank. If his father was so angry that he threw a cup, something bad might have really happened.
Entering the imperial study, he shouted respectfully, "Father, what's going on? You're so angry."
"Lao San, you're here."
Gu Lei's face softened when he saw Gu Lieyang arriving. He threw the letter in his hand to Gu Lieyang, "Aren't you those old guys who want to compete in the competition when they have nothing to do?"
Gu Lieyang opened the letter and read it carefully. The further he read, the deeper his frown deepened. "A competition between princes, a bare-handed fight, and you have to sign a life and death certificate?"
"This is exactly what makes me angry. Do those old guys think they have too many sons and have nothing to do with them?"
"But if you don't participate, you will definitely be laughed at by several uncles."
Gu Lieyang knew Gu Lei's temperament very well, and the reason why he came to him must have something to do with this competition.
"Father, don't worry, my son will go to attend, and I believe that the fourth child will be interested in going with me."
He put down the letter in his hand, clasped his fists at Gu Lei, and voluntarily asked to participate.
Brave people are the most favored by Gu Lei. At this moment, Gu Lei looked at him with unabashed satisfaction.
"I know that you will not let me down. Since you have decided to go, you must win a name for me and come back. As for the fourth child, it is up to you to tell him about this for me."
Gu Lieyang nodded, "I'll take my leave first."
After leaving the imperial study, Gu Lieyang was filled with doubts. This competition was initiated by the Blood Moon Kingdom, and the location was naturally set in the Blood Moon Kingdom. The Blood Moon Kingdom has always advocated pure fighting and killing without weapons, but he didn't understand.
What's strange is why the other two countries didn't object. Purple Thunder Kingdom was obviously the last one to receive this invitation letter, and they couldn't tolerate their refusal.
Walking back to Ziyang Palace with thoughts on his mind, he felt that this matter was particularly difficult. In front of Gu Lei, he did not hesitate to ask Ying to participate just because his father would appreciate brave people, but if he thought about it carefully, there was something in this competition
There are too many variables, and if you are not careful, you may miss the throne in the future.
"Third brother, what does your father want from you?"
In the hall, Gulege and Mo Lanyue sat side by side, both waiting for his return.
Gu Lieyang coughed lightly and told them everything that happened.
After listening to Gu Lieyang's narration, Mo Lanyue thought for a moment and then came to a conclusion, "So you are going to participate in a hand-to-hand combat where either you die or he dies?"
"In principle, it's just a matter of time."
Gu Lieyang added quite calmly.
"But if there is any death or injury, you are responsible for it, right? How could my father allow you to participate in such a dangerous competition? Everyone in the Blood Moon Kingdom seems to have a brain problem, and it would be really hard to fight without death.
"
Hearing what Guleg said, Mo Lanyue suddenly felt that it was necessary to know the news about the surrounding countries.
She jumped off the chair and walked to the study alone. If she remembered correctly, Gu Lieyang's study contained many books on historical records.
"I took the initiative to participate, and I proposed to my father that the fourth child should go with him. I think our plans for the fourth child can only be suspended in the short term."
Gu Liege wanted to say something more, but was pushed out of the room by Gu Lieyang, "I still have a lot of things to prepare. I hope I can catch up with the eldest brother's wedding banquet when I come back. I will leave everything in the palace to you."
You are."
He was helplessly pushed out of the door by Gu Lieyang. Even though Gu Liege was worried about him, he knew that he could not influence his decision.
His third brother has been determined to become his father's favorite son since he was a child, and there is nothing he can do to stop his progress.
In the study, Mo Lanyue sat in front of Gu Lieyang's desk, carefully looking through the records about the surrounding countries. After looking at the layout of the countries' territories, she understood why they had to tolerate the arrogant Princess Caiyun.
.
The land here is divided by five countries. The four surrounding countries are Purple Thunder Kingdom, Blue Wind Kingdom, Blood Moon Kingdom and Jinmo Kingdom. The monarchs of each country are brothers and all have ancient surnames, such as the monarchs of Purple Thunder Kingdom, Gu Lei and Lan Feng.
The king of the country, Gu Feng, the king of the Blood Moon Kingdom, Gu Yue, the king of the Jin Mo Country, Gu Mo.
It seems that after the previous generation of kings passed away, they divided the original territories among themselves and became kings.
The Caiying Kingdom, which occupies the most powerful position, is located in the center of the four kingdoms. If the country is weaker, I am afraid that such a position will make the country vulnerable to enemies from both sides. However, the Caiying Kingdom is a country with strong military strength. Don't look at their palace.
Women's rights are in power, and in terms of military strength, Caiying Kingdom is definitely the first among the five countries.
"Why are you studying the history of various countries? You have never been interested in these things."
Gu Lieyang picked up the book in her hand and asked her.
"Asking even though you know it."
After snatching back the book that had been taken away, Mo Lanyue's attention was not diverted by the appearance of Gu Lieyang.
Blood Moon Kingdom and Purple Thunder Kingdom happen to be adjacent to each other, and it takes about five days to reach Blood Moon Kingdom. It is no wonder that Emperor Zi Lei was the last one to get the invitation.
"You don't want to follow this?"
Gu Lieyang certainly wanted to know why she suddenly read these books, but he did not want to take her to the Blood Moon Kingdom with him.
"If anything happens to you when you go, will I still have a place in the palace? Of course I will go with you. Besides, there is Princess Caiyun in the palace, and she will do me no good if she sees her.
I don’t want to stay alone in the palace.”
Mo Lanyue finished flipping through the last few pages of the book, then raised her head and looked into his eyes and said seriously.
Gu Lieyang fell silent, because what Mo Lanyue said was right, and Gu Lieyang began to think seriously about her proposal.
