As the boat approached, Shui Lian's clear eyes turned towards her and she joked: "Junior is really leisurely and elegant. Traveling with two beauties makes people envious only of mandarin ducks but not immortals."
"Senior is joking." Luo Chen joked back: "When I first arrived, I naturally wanted to admire the flowers in Jinling City, but Senior, traveling with three seniors, really opened my eyes to my juniors.
"
Hearing this, the corners of Shui Lianqing's mouth twitched slightly, and Ye Rou twisted Luo Chen's waist and said coquettishly: "Brother Luo Chen, what are you talking about?"
Luo Chen laughed and said, "Senior Sister Lianqing is an open-minded person and will not get angry because of a joke, right Senior?"
Shui Lianqing was quite angry in her heart, but on the surface, she smiled and said, "Junior, please don't make jokes like this again."
Luo Chen smiled and said nothing, and walked along the boat downstream.
Tonight is the annual Lotus Lantern Festival in Jinling City. Before dusk, the banks of Jinling Lake are occupied by large and small boats. At this time, near the center of Jinling Lake,
, eighty long bamboo rafts were merged together to form a temporary platform on the water. On the platform, staff were setting up the venue.
Shui Lianqing informed that at the Lotus Lantern Festival, there will be talented people and beauties who will come to recite poetry, show off poems and songs, and there will also be young talents who use martial arts to cheer up. At that time, there will also be a large-scale free blind date, where all the young ladies in Jinling City will
Both the young master and the young master will be present. If there is someone you like, feel free to pursue him boldly.
Luo Chen was stunned, glanced at the excited Yang Xinwei and Tian Haibo, then raised his head to look at Wangchuan, and said with a smile: "Brother Wangchuan doesn't seem to be looking forward to it."
"He doesn't dare to expect it." Shui Lianqing said from the side, and Wangchuan looked embarrassed.
"Junior, are you interested?" After saying that, Shui Lianqing came forward. Luo Chen smiled slightly, took a step back involuntarily, and said with a smile: "Not lacking."
Shui Lianqing nodded and said with a smile: "That's right. There are beauties like Miss Ziyi and Ye Rou beside me. Naturally, I will look down on rouge fans like me."
Saying this, Shui Lianqing glanced at Luo Chen pretending to be resentful, and said: "There will be a hydrangea competition at this year's Lotus Lantern Festival. It is said that the rewards this time are very generous." Shui Lianqing's lips seemed to be like
He licked it a little dry and continued: "Remember at last year's Lotus Lantern Festival, the reward for first place was an elixir."
Luo Chen glanced at Shui Lianqing meaningfully, but did not speak to answer, but listened to her say: "Every year at the Lotus Lantern Festival, the princes of the imperial palace come to participate in person, first to select talents, and secondly, there are also
It is the intention of the prince to choose a concubine."
When she said this, Ye Rou's eyes instinctively dodge, and she heard Shui Lianqing say: "It is said that the Thirteenth Prince has been admiring sister Ye Rou for a long time, but sister Ye Rou has never responded.
"
Luo Chen's eyes were still calm, but he noticed that Ye Rou nervously squeezed his hand.
"Brother Luo Chen..."
Luo Chen did not get angry, but smiled and said: "This can only show that my Rou'er is too outstanding."
Shui Lianqing said with a strange look on her face: "Don't you have any other ideas in your mind?"
"Idea? Yes." Luo Chen smiled and said, "I just want to see what the Thirteenth Prince that the senior sister said looks like."
"What do you mean, junior?"
"If you are beautiful, don't think too much about it." After saying these words, Luo Chen stomped his feet slightly on the bedside of the painting boat. The aftershock shook Shui Lianqing and flew back to the boat where Wangchuan and the others were, and then where he was
The boat retreated, distanced itself from it, and headed towards a different section of the river.
Shui Lianqing backed up and stopped, her face looked a little ugly, bastard, he actually dared to do something to her!
"Hey, Senior Sister Lianqing, I have warned you a long time ago that your doing this will not serve any purpose other than offending him." Wangchuan shook his head and sighed softly: "No matter what, he also saved us once.
Life, if possible, I don’t want to be his enemy. Senior sister, the battle in that palace is not something we are qualified to participate in. Even if you want to help senior Dugu Feng, you don’t have to do so, right?"
Wangchuan frowned slightly and said, "The Thirteenth Prince is cruel and ruthless, and he can't tolerate sand in his eyes. What are your intentions in forcibly involving him?"
"Just one more helper." Shui Lianqing said with a complex look in her eyes.
"Help?" Wangchuan wondered: "I don't quite understand. Although his talent is outstanding, he is only at the soul master level, so how can he be qualified to participate? Wait!"
Suddenly, Wangchuan seemed to suddenly realize something, and exclaimed: "Senior sister, are you trying to use him to force Miss Ziyi to take action?"
"You seem to have said too much today." Having someone see through your thoughts made Shui Lianqing feel slightly uncomfortable.
At this time, even Yang Xinwei and Tian Haibo, who were bickering, stopped and said, "Would this be counterproductive? This would force him to oppose Senior Dugu."
"No, and he has been involved a long time ago. Even if I don't add fuel to the fire, he will still stand against Dugu Yi in the future."
Shui Lianqing shook her head. Dugu Yi already had thoughts about Ye Rou. With Luo Chen's character, he would naturally not watch his woman being taken away. Since they can't be friends, why can't they be enemies?
Moreover, even if Dugu Yi doesn't cause trouble for him, he will still cause trouble for Dugu Yi in the future.
Before that, she had secretly investigated all the information about Luo Chen in Tiandou, and she had to say that this junior fellow student Luo was really quite romantic, and his talent was even more monstrous than she imagined!
The family gave up their hatred and left the city alone. Relying on their own talents, they rose up against the sky and became a legend. She also knew that the close relationship between Luo Chen and Shen Ke, the daughter of the old Tiandou emperor, was the reason for the national war.
, the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms pressed down on the border at the same time, destroyed the Imperial City of the Emperor, and caused a lot of disaster to Tiandou!
And the initiator of all this is the work of the Thirteenth Prince!
That's why she said that Luo Chen had been involved a long time ago.
"But this is different. You are using him again."
"So what, as long as the goal can be achieved, sometimes the unscrupulous means are just a ploy." Shui Lianqing raised her head and stared at the water of Jinling Lake, and said firmly: "For him, I have no choice."
"Senior Lianqing, why are you doing this? If Senior Dugu learns about this, he will not agree."
"So, we won't tell him. If that idiot hadn't been too soft-hearted and too indecisive, how could he be so passive now?"
Dugu Feng, the twelfth prince of Emperor Dugu of the Zhenwu Empire (Zhenwu Emperor), was so gifted that some beings felt their status was threatened and jointly framed him, resulting in all the real power in his hands being wiped out.
After the partition, now in the imperial capital of Jinling City, there is a generation of "Xiaoyao" princes.
The latter's character was so inactive and uncontroversial that even when he later found out that he had been framed, he did not deliberately clarify himself.
"Senior Dugu has no intention of doing this, so why should Senior Sister Lianqing have to force herself?" Tian Haibo persuaded.
"I just can't tolerate that Dugu Yi's despicableness!" She said it nicely, but only she knew what she was thinking.
The Shui family is the top wealthy aristocracy in the Zhenwu Empire! Speaking of which, Dugu Feng's mother family is from the Shui family. In terms of seniority, Shui Lianqing would even call Dugu Feng her cousin.
In this aristocratic circle, cousins can marry each other, and Shui Lianqing has always had a good impression of Dugu Feng in her heart. In fact, she has a bigger purpose, which is to help Dugu Feng ascend to the throne.
, to fulfill her mother’s ambition to be the emperor of the world! Let the Shui family become the top family in the Zhenwu Empire!
But what makes her angry is that Dugu Feng's inaction character means that no matter how much she tries to persuade him, he never listens to a word. As a result, many secret arrangements were secretly controlled by her.
Among them was the fact that she deliberately used Ye Rou to make Luo Chen fight with the Thirteenth Prince.
…
As night falls, as the sky gradually darkens, colorful lanterns are hung out from the boat docked on the bank of Jinling Lake, reflecting the colorful light illuminated by the dark moonlit night and the colored light refracted from the lake water, reflecting rainbow-like lines of light.
.
Luo Chen stood on the bow of the boat. On both sides of him stood Ye Rou and Xue Ziyi. None of the three left because Luo Chen didn't want to leave.
"Brother Luo Chen?" Ye Rou looked at Luo Chen with some worry, and Xue Ziyi also looked at him. At this moment, even she was a little confused. Luo Chen was very smart, and he chose to say "please" unceremoniously.
"Shui Lianqing guessed her intention from the moment she left Huafang. If so, why did he choose to stay?
"The Thirteenth Prince?"
Luo Chen's eyes flashed slightly. In the past few days since he came to the Zhenwu Empire, he had secretly investigated a lot of things through the God Slayer. He had already learned that the culprit who ordered the Three Kingdoms to destroy the Tiandou Emperor clan was the one Shui Lianqing mentioned.
Thirteenth Prince.
He had promised to help Shen Ke get revenge, so naturally he would not break his promise. He wanted to take this opportunity to get to know the Thirteenth Prince, and at the same time, take revenge on Shui Lianqing for his plot against him.
I will not offend others unless they offend me. This is Luo Chen's code of conduct. If he guessed correctly, the person who monitored him in Tianxiang Tower in the middle of the night last night was also Senior Sister Lian Qing!
Speaking of which, he even saved her life. Although he went there because of the 30,000 points, he must have been kind to her. He did not want to repay her, and he never thought about asking them to repay anything.
, but Shui Lian turned around and plotted against him, which made him very unhappy!
If he was just plotting against himself, Luo Chen might not be so angry, but what made him furious was that she actually included Ye Rou in order to achieve her own goals. This made him
It’s intolerable. Doesn’t she know how to scheme? Very good! Then let her scheme tonight well enough. I just hope that she will be able to clean up the next mess! (To be continued)
