Nangong Ming said, throwing away the tiger tongue on his hand, then ran to a nearby spring to wash the blood on his arm, and suddenly said: "Duoduo, there are no caves nearby. I think we can only go to the banana forest to hide for a while.
Already."
"Oh..." Duoduo responded. In fact, it doesn't matter whether he should or not. Not to mention that Nangong Ming is the king of a country. His kind of male chauvinism alone is in vain even if Duoduo disagrees.
What's more, what he says is an imperial edict. Who dares to disobey it?
After Nangong Ming came back, he knelt down in front of Duoduo and said, "Come, I will carry you on my back."
"Ah? No need, Your Majesty, I can walk, just go slower."
Nangong Ming became a little angry and said, "Do you want to disobey the imperial edict?"
Duoduo had no choice but to say mischievously: "Then Duoduo, I have no choice but to thank the Lord for His kindness."
Nangong Ming pursed his lips and smiled, carrying Duoduo on his back and dragging the tiger's hind legs with one hand, towards the nearby banana forest.
Just as I chose a banana tree with dense leaves to sit down, it began to rain heavily. At this time, the moon could no longer be seen, and the sky and earth were pitch black. The raindrops hit the broad banana leaves and made a crackling sound.
The sound of popping made Duoduo feel that he was really very small and insignificant, just an insignificant dust in the world.
But such a speck of dust offended the most important person in the Southern Dynasty... Although the rain did not hit anyone, it quickly soaked the ground. Duoduo finally understood why the emperor wanted to drag this dead tiger away
Came over.
When he was in the savage tribe, he only sat on beds and stone chairs covered with tiger skins, but now he was sitting on a tiger that was still warm, and Duoduo felt it was something different.
The rain kept falling, and Duoduo suddenly felt sleepy and yawned several times.
Nangong Ming said: "Duoduo, if you are sleepy, just rest on my shoulder."
"If you can't live with the Emperor, Duoduo won't be sleepy." Duoduo said pretending to be excited.
"Oh, I didn't expect it to be the same for you..." Nangong Ming suddenly sighed, sounding quite disappointed.
"I...what's wrong, Your Majesty?"
Nangong Ming said: "Duo Duo, I treat you as a confidant and talk to you about everything, but you, like everyone else, are always wary of me. Do you think I am so scary?"
"Ah? No, that's not true. Your Majesty, you are wrong. Duoduo doesn't think the Emperor is scary. Instead, he thinks he is quite easy-going."
Nangong Ming said: "Don't lie to me. One general can make thousands of bones dry up. I have been busy fighting and attacking cities these years, and my hands are covered with human blood. It is natural for others to be afraid of me. There is nothing strange about it. But
I really don’t want you to treat me as a tyrant, Duoduo.”
"Your Majesty..." Duoduo didn't know what to say for a moment. He thought for a long time before saying: "Your Majesty, in fact, Duoduo does not regard the Emperor as a tyrant. The Emperor's war for many years is not just for the people of the Southern Dynasty.
It is the unification of the world. Only by unifying the world, wars and disputes will be reduced exponentially. Your Majesty, you are here for the common people of the world."
Nangong Ming said in great surprise: "Oh? Do you really think so, Duoduo?"
"Well, that's what Duoduo originally thought, so Duoduo doesn't think the emperor is a tyrant at all."
"Thank you, thank you so much. It is enough for me to have such a word from you in my life."
Duoduo said: "Your Majesty made a strong statement. Duoduo believes that many people think so too, so Your Majesty, you are not alone. Please don't be sad."
"Then, why do I always feel that there is such a long distance between Duoduo and me?" Nangong Ming finally asked the most important question.
Duoduo said: "Your Majesty, there has been a distinction between superiority and inferiority since ancient times. The Emperor is the supreme king of a country. If Duoduo speaks too casually, wouldn't he be scolded by the world for being disrespectful?"
"Oh, that's it..." Nangong Ming smiled and said, "Please obey your orders!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Duoduo didn't know what the Emperor was up to.
"I order you not to be polite to me in the future, otherwise you will make me unhappy and the consequences will be serious."
"Yes, Your Majesty..." Duoduo responded cautiously, feeling extremely uncomfortable. If it were another woman who could get such love from the Emperor, it would be a good thing that could not be waited for in eight lifetimes, but Duoduo felt that something was wrong.
, who knows what the uncle-level emperor will do to her next.
"Ah..." Duoduo yawned again, and was about to bury his head between his knees, but was suddenly hugged by the emperor.
"I am not a devil, don't be afraid of me, just lie in my arms and sleep."
"No, no... Duoduo doesn't dare..." Duoduo struggled hard and said: "Your Majesty, Duoduo..."
"You like Jie'er? Humph, you actually lied to me. I have asked you this question a long time ago, but you said you don't like him."
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. Duoduo Yijie, a commoner girl, knew that she shouldn't have fallen in love with the fifth prince, so she... she lied right then."
Nangong Ming suddenly sighed and said: "Oh, Duoduo, do you know that you have given me a big problem now? I can't bear to kill you. After all, you have saved me twice; if I don't kill you, my two emperors will
My son will scheming because of you, will not be interested in studying politics, and may even cause civil strife because of you."
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry!" Duo Duo was shocked. The thing she had been most worried about finally happened. She had long thought that the Emperor might take action against her because of the two brothers Nangong Jie and Nangong Ao.
And even she herself felt that she had unintentionally become a beauty disaster. Although she only had hatred and no affection for Nangong Ao, but she knew why that bastard fell in love with her nervously and followed him at the emperor's birthday banquet.
Nangong Jie fought fiercely.
Duoduo is really depressed to death, what good is she? She is just a woman who wants revenge, and she has a child. Although she has an excellent appearance and figure, there are more than hundreds of beautiful women in the world?
And she has a bad temper, so why does Nangong Ao hold on to her?
Duoduo couldn't see the emperor's face in the darkness. It should be a frowning and tense face... Because he loves Nangong Jie, Duoduo has always been lucky, but now, it feels like a step from heaven.
Went to hell, those longings
The beautiful future that they had been looking forward to for a long time seemed to be no longer visible... The two of them did not speak for a long time, but finally Duoduo spoke first: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I'll just leave. I will take Bin'er with me."
Leave the capital, leave the fifth prince."
"Leave? Do you think leaving is useful? It will only make them waste their efforts looking for you everywhere. Do you think they will ignore you from now on?"
"Your Majesty..." Duoduo suddenly felt that he had no other choice, so he simply said what was on his mind: "Your Majesty, please forgive Duoduo for speaking bluntly. The second prince is treacherous and has no good intentions. He is definitely not a candidate for the crown prince. If the emperor puts Duoduo in trouble for his sake,
, Duoduo feels very frustrated."
Nangong Mingze said: "Actually, I have thought about the problem you mentioned before, but as a king, it is not enough to have good intentions. More often, it requires a wise mind and the ability to lead the crowd.
, So, before I choose the prince, please give me a lot of help. After the prince is chosen, I will naturally send the unsuccessful prince to the border fief to become the king."
Duoduo was completely despairing at this moment and said listlessly: "Your Majesty, please speak, as long as it doesn't hurt my Bin'er."
It is said that Nangong Jie rushed all the way back to the capital in the rain. After giving the detoxification pills to the imperial physician, he got on his horse and hurried to the palace gate without having time to rest for a while.
He wanted to rush back to Tianqi Mountain. Even though his father was taking care of her, he still felt uneasy.
It's a pity that before he reached the palace gate, his eyes went dark and he fell off the horse... "Fifth prince, fifth prince!" The imperial doctor heard the sound and rushed over. After diagnosis, he said: "Fortunately, nothing serious is wrong, it's just that he was injured."
Being caught in the rain, driving in a hurry, and having the wind and cold invade your body are all tiring, and you can recover without medicine as soon as you wake up."
The rain stopped and a ray of light appeared on the horizon. Panting, Nangong Jie rushed back to Tianqi Mountain and found the place where they broke up last night.
It's a pity that he is no longer there.
"Father, steward, where are you?" Nangong Jie called twice, his voice echoing in the valley, but there was no response.
Nangong Jie's heart was in his chest. Could it be that they encountered some danger?
At this moment, a strange sound came from the front along the wind, and Nangong Jie quickly walked over to see what was going on.
The sound of "papapapa" became clearer as the footsteps approached. Just on the edge of a patch of grass, Nangong Jie saw a pile of clothes!
Nangong Jie's head was pounding. He quickened his pace and rushed over to take a look. The scene in front of him made his mind go blank!
I saw a naked man lying on top of a naked woman, trembling constantly... "Ah!" Nangong Jie roared like crazy, which immediately woke up the man and woman who were writhing in the grass.
The man turned to look at him and said with a stern face: "What are you doing? If you want to rebel, get out!"
The woman under the man's face was flushed, with a little guilt, she hesitated to speak, and she didn't even dare to look into his eyes.
"How could you, how could you!" Nangong Jie couldn't bear it, picked up a wooden stick next to him and raised it high!
"How dare you, I am your father, how dare you do something like this, you don't have to worry about what I do, you beast, get out, get out, get out!"
Nangong Jie was trembling all over, but he didn't fight after all. He shouted wildly, turned around and started running... Because it had just rained, the mountain was too slippery, so Nangong Jie accidentally fell down... "Son, what's wrong with you, son!
"Concubine Ping rushed back to the room when she heard the sound and found her son fell from the bed to the floor, sweating profusely and panting.
"Son, please don't scare me. What's wrong with you?"
"Mom, father, he-" Nangong Jie's mind suddenly flashed back, and he realized that he had just had a nightmare, and he was all limp. He simply sat on the floor and said, "Mom, I'm fine, don't worry.
"
"You just said about your father, what happened to him?"
"He... I want to ask if my father is back..."
Concubine Ping said: "It's already noon now, your father has been back a long time ago, but Miss Duoduo seems to have been injured and is recuperating. They have come to see you just now, and they didn't call you when they saw that you didn't wake up.
.”
"Oh...that's good. I'm fine. Mom, please go out. I want to be alone."
"Okay, okay, mom, just go out, but you should sit on the bed anyway."
"I know, mother..."
Nangong Jie looked tired. Although many people said that dreams were the opposite, Nangong Jie knew that his worries were not unreasonable, because a man's intuition about men is as accurate as a woman's understanding of a woman.
Mainly due to the look in his father's eyes when he looked at Duoduo Shi, it was by no means as simple as ordinary concern... Because the antidote was obtained in time, the princes and grandsons of the vassal country finally saved their lives. Nangong Ming was also glad that they were safe and sound.
, otherwise when many small countries come to the city together, the foundation of the Southern Dynasty will probably be destroyed.
In this way, the hundreds of thousands of troops on the border no longer need to return to defense. What we have to do now is to bring the person who paid for the murder to justice. It is a pity that the two masterminds and guardians of the Scorpion Sect, one fat and one thin, have already
Kill yourself in fear of crime, otherwise you can find evidence from them.
In just one night, all the wealthy businessmen in the capital with a net worth of over 10 million were taken to the palace prison, and the most suspect was the richest man, Huang Wanwan.
Huang Baiwan has always dreamed of taking a close look at the current emperor. Even during the emperor's birthday banquet, he tried every possible means to let Nangong Jie take him with him.
I didn't expect to meet the Nine-Five Lord so soon, but it's a pity that I met because of this kind of thing.
Nangong Ming walked into the prison in casual clothes, and the cell leader quickly brought a stool over to serve him.
"The common people bow to the Emperor and say long live, long live, long live!"
"Hmph, you are the richest man in the capital, Huang Wanwan?"
"Yes, they are just grassroots people, but grassroots people earn their hard-earned money and never cheat or cheat."
Nangong Ming said: "You keep shouting long live, but in fact you wish that I would die early, right?"
"The common people don't dare, the common people don't dare, the emperor is aware of this, Your Majesty!" Huang Baiwan knelt on the ground and was so frightened that his whole body trembled.
"Don't dare? Don't dare. Why did you spend tens of millions to buy a murderer to kill me? Apart from you, few people in the capital have such strong financial resources!"
"Your Majesty, I am wronged. Your Majesty, ordinary people would not dare to have such a heart even if I beat them to death!" Huang Baiwan was so frightened that he suddenly said: "Your Majesty, ordinary people know that there is someone else who has such financial resources."
Nangong Ming was a little curious and said, "Oh? Who is that person?"
"Your Majesty, that person is... the one you personally named, the greatest butler in the world..."
"Nonsense, no matter how big the housekeeper is, even if she misappropriates the palace's money, she won't be able to come up with tens of millions in a short while. How could this be her?"
"Your Majesty, Cao Min's every word is true. Housekeeper Qian didn't have so much money before, but she won one million taels of gold from Cao Min in the arena. This is absolutely true."
"Shut up, if this was what Butler Qian said, she wouldn't have stepped forward and fought to the death with those bad guys. You, Wang Wanwan, actually want to spit blood on others. It seems that if I don't chop off your head, why don't you?
If you are willing to confess, please come and transfer Huang Wanwan to the death row, so that he can be executed in the future!"
"It's unfair, Your Majesty, it's unfair!"
As a result, Huang Wanwan was put on death row and everyone else was released.
When the emperor went to Zizhuyuan to tell Duoduo what had happened, Duoduo was a little surprised and said: "Your Majesty, that Huang Baiwan did lose one million gold to me, but Duoduo felt that that person was only thinking about money. Other than that,
He is so cowardly that it is impossible for him to pay for the murder."
"Hahahaha..." Nangong Ming laughed loudly and said: "Do you think I don't know that he is not so courageous? I just know that it was not him who did it, so I put him on death row."
Duoduo suddenly understood and said: "Your Majesty is wise."
"Oh?" Nangong Ming said with a bit of surprise: "You can actually guess my intention?"
Duoduo said: "I don't dare. How can the emperor's thoughts be speculated casually?"
"Huh!" Nangong Ming said with a displeased look on his face, "Why are the old women in your palace all the same? What I want is the fresh air in you, and I don't want the intrigues in the palace to be exposed to you.
It’s reflected in your body.”
"Yes, Duoduo knows that he was wrong. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
"Well!" Nangong Ming said: "It's okay if you don't want me to be angry. Then tell me why I put that Huang Wanwan on death row?"
Duoduo thought for a while and then said: "In Duoduo's opinion, on the one hand, the emperor is taking a long-term view and fishing for big fish. If no one takes the blame, people who have really done bad things will not dare to act rashly. And now Huang Baiwan
After taking the blame, the real conspirators thought that the matter was over and they would take action again soon. As long as we send people to follow those people, the case will be much easier to solve."
"Well, that's good, but what about the other side?"
"On the other hand, we can ambush the masters inside the death row, because the real plotter is likely to sneak into the death row to commit the crime, because he feels that as long as Huang Wanwan dies, we will be more certain that Huang Wanwan bought the murderer.
The murderer came back to kill people and silence them, so by guarding the death row, the real culprits are likely to be caught."
"Ah ha ha ha ha... well said, so well said!" Nangong Ming couldn't help but applaud and praised: "Duo Duo is indeed a person of internal and external cultivation. In addition to his good skills, he can also turn his head really fast.
"
"Your Majesty, thank you. By the way, Your Majesty, can we talk about our matters later?"
Nangong Mingze said: "Well, I have my own sense of discretion. Just take good care of your injuries. I will have people guard you outside. No one is allowed to come and disturb you."
"Hey, Your Majesty -" Duoduo still wanted to say something, but Nangong Ming had already walked out of Zizhuyuan to check on his condition.
The emperor had just left for a while when Duoduo heard a familiar voice coming from outside. It was the fool who was coming!
Walking to the window, she quietly looked out and saw that the guy was stopped outside the yard by two generals. Seeing the anxious look on his face, Duoduo really wanted to go out and meet him, but she remembered that she had agreed in person.
Regarding the matter of the emperor, I had no choice but to suppress the emotions in my heart, return to the bedroom, dive into bed, and cover my head with the quilt, so that I could not hear his calling outside.
"Steward, come out, come out!" Nangong Jie pushed away the general guarding the door in anger and said, "If you dare to stop me again, I will kill you with one sword!"
Unexpectedly, one of the generals pulled out his sword with a clang and said in front of Nangong Jie: "Fifth prince, it is hard to disobey the emperor's order. If you really want to go in, kill the younger one first."
"You, don't force me, don't think I dare not kill you!"
"Fifth prince, this time the emperor has really warned again and again that no one else is allowed to enter except the emperor himself. Fifth prince, please don't embarrass your brothers."
"Humph!" Nangong Jie had no choice but to turn around and leave.
