Hailian wiped her mouth angrily: "... I didn't say I made a bet."
"You have to place a bet after seeing the hole cards. You are from a black street. You don't know the rules of this kind of casino." Fang Tinglan smiled and handed him the handkerchief.
After Hai Lian came over, he crumpled the treaty together and threw it on the ground: "The one just now will be paid."
"That doesn't count just now, you have to take the initiative."
"Fang Tinglan, you're not finished, are you!"
Hai Lian grabbed the collar of the man in front of him and shoved back. The man slammed into the wooden table with a bang. As a result, the pain in his lower back could not reach his spine, but he felt something hard on his lips. down.
"hiss!"
Now it's all over, the mouths of both of them are bloody, at first glance it looks like Gangru Mao has drunk blood. Fang Tinglan frowned, angry and funny: "...this doesn't count either."
"If it doesn't count, it doesn't count," the tip of Yin Hong's tongue slowly licked the traces of Yin Hong, Hai Lian was triumphant, "Anyway, we're even now."
43.
Now that it's evened, you have to go back to the same starting point. Hailian licked the wound again: "What should I do next?"
"Anyway, we have to leave Beihong first." Fang Tinglan touched his pocket and found that it was his last handkerchief thrown on the ground by Hailian. Before coming to see you, I went to Yu'an and destroyed the stronghold of the Tianjiku there."
"That's why you said you were late?"
"It can be said so." Fang Tinglan nodded, "In this way, we should be able to buy some time. When Zhang Kexing informs the government and the public of your tracks, we should be able to go to Yancheng. At that time, whether it is a wanted warrant or a search Officers and soldiers, it will be very difficult to catch your traces."
"No." Hai Lian remembered the map of Taiyan's surroundings, and he estimated the distance, "There are still wounded, so we can't make it there."
"This is exactly the plan I want to tell you," Fang Tinglan didn't know when there were three more silver coins in his hand, and he placed them on the table one by one, "It's like the envoys you brought from before The Yanjing Canal is divided into several groups. This time we will divide the people into three groups. The first group is the wounded. They will stay here to recuperate. Bring them back; the other group are those envoys, their appearance should have been recorded by Beihong, so they have to put on a little make-up so that they can’t be Tisu people, and they have to dress up as Dokuro people who are merchants.”
"What if they can't speak Beimo language?"
"Since they can all serve as envoys for marriage proposals, how can they not speak a few foreign languages?" The man asked with a smile, the second half of the sentence was in the standard Dokuro dialect, and after he finished speaking, he switched back to Eastern State dialect, "However, they will have to wait here for a few days before returning from Canglang Bay by detour. Anyway, I don't think the people of Beihong will be able to predict that Tisu's envoys will escape from Huying Mountain in the northwest. "
"...the only thing left is Long Rong." Hai Lian pondered, "Does her appearance matter?"
"Of course I have to dress up, so I'll dress up as..." Fang Tinglan tilted his head slightly, "Dye your hair and dress up as the bride from Turong."
"You are the groom?" Hailian teased.
"I can't compare to the princess of your country," Fang Tinglan smiled slyly, "We are all servants to welcome the bride, the coachman Fang Daren and the book boy Hai Xiaolian."
Hai Lian glared at him, and made a very rude gesture to him, but Fang Tinglan grabbed his finger instead, and kissed him lightly.
"Okay, let's stop teasing you," Fang Tinglan said with a smile as he looked at the other party's fur-throated fingers and continued to say, "After all, she is the key to regaining Jiumeng this time, so it's up to you and me." Personal escort is the safest, we have to leave Beihong and return to Tisu faster than anyone else, and we have to set off before dawn."
"Which line do you take?"
"Take the shortest line, cross Beihong directly, and return to Youji." Fang Tinglan said, "When you get to the sea, it will be your territory, and everything will be up to you."
"Including the opening of the Dongtian Line?" Hai Lian knew that it was Nan Hong's lifeline at sea, and once it was opened, it might never be closed again.
Fang Tinglan nodded indifferently: "Of course, I will do my best to help if I say so." He threw the last silver coin to Hailian, "It's just that there will be many twists and turns along the way. , Your Excellency, be prepared."
"Ready?" Hai Lian caught the silver coin steadily, and he bared his teeth, "I never need to prepare when I come on stage."
The two have cooperated too many times, and they are also very clear about each other's pace. The efficiency of discussing things is several times that of others. He said to the other party: "Fang Tinglan."
"Ok?"
"I've been thinking about what you just said," Hailian looked directly at him, "If you want me to be the one holding the knife, aren't you afraid that the knife in my hand will hurt you too?"
"If I will be hurt by you," Fang Tinglan put his hand under his neck, but his lips curled upwards, "that can only mean that I am too useless to walk side by side with Hai Zhongjue."
"..." Hai Lian moved his lips slightly, but didn't say anything. He turned his head and was about to leave, but Fang Tinglan also called him.
"What else do you need?" The young man frowned, "I want to ask the question I asked you just now? Then my answer is the same as yours."
"I didn't intend to ask this," Fang Tinglan smiled, "I just wanted to call your name suddenly."
As soon as the words fell, the thin red between the baron's blood-clotting lips instantly soaked his cheeks.
44.
Hai Lian checked the things at hand, and when he was going to ask Long Rong to set off, he realized that the princess was ready at some point.
She stood beside a well-equipped carriage outside the farm. Her light brown curly long hair was now as black as night, and it was divided into several long braids of colored threads and tied at the back of her head. Her eyebrows and eyes were thicker than she was wearing Tisu Even when she was dressed up, she was even more gorgeous, and the knife marks on the corners of Hailian's eyes twitched: "You look like a tribal princess, not a bride who is rushing to get married."
"Then what should I do?" Long Rong stroked his hair, "I have never acted as a princess before."
"Just be casual?" Hailian thought for a while, "Think about the commoner girls you saw in Dongzhou."
Long Rong was a little distressed, "I'll try my best. When I was dressing up just now, I heard a clanging sound in your room. Did you fight with him?"
Hai Lian subconsciously licked his lips again, "Almost, he owes me." He glanced in the direction of the farm, "We didn't just fight with him, but also talked about some serious business."
"What's up?"
Hai Lian briefly recounted the next plan to her: "... And what's more, Fang Tinglan hopes that I will be a leader like my father." His voice was low, "But I may not be able to do it well."
"why?"
"Because I'm not a leader material."
"You are already the captain of the Lady of the Clouds."
"That's different," Hailian shook his head. "On the sea, a few gold coins, a glass of wine, and two fists are enough to pull a group of people together; but I still don't understand the rules on land."
"The rules on land are actually not that complicated." Long Rong said softly, "It's like my father, just because his father is a king, so he is also a king, and they follow the rules; and Uncle Abal, And my younger brothers, they didn’t even have the chance to be the leaders, they were forcibly plundered by themselves in various ways, they are the breakers of the rules. As for me, I’m just like you.”
"What's the same?"
"I'm also learning how to be a leader." Long Rong smiled wryly, "I used to be an evader, but now I have to be a pioneer. It is probably more difficult to give orders to people like a king than to be a bride."
"Ah, I almost forgot... Your brother died, and now you are the only one left in the Tisu royal family..." Hailian clicked his tongue. He originally wanted to ask the princess for some advice, but he didn't expect that the other party's problem was more difficult than his. The young man thought about it and said simply, "Otherwise, you come and give me the first order."
Long Rong asked in surprise, "For you?"
"Ok."
"In this case..." Long Rong thought for a long time, and then she took a step forward, "I hope you can become Tisu's reflection."
Helian was stunned.
"Tisu needs the light that illuminates everything, and also needs a person to rule the shadows under the light." Now that she doesn't have a golden staff that can grant power, Long Rong simply pulls out the short knife that is close to her body, and stretches her arms , and handed it to Hailian, "I trust you, just like I entrusted my life to your father, I entrust Tisu's 'reflection' to you."
"..." Hailian glanced down at the silver scimitar in the opponent's hand, he let out a long breath, then knelt down on one knee, and took it over, "I retract my preface, although it doesn't look like a northern bride, But you are already a natural leader, Your Majesty."
The queen laughed.
