There is a kind of scholar

Chapter 1020
Su Xian smiled.

Not forcing.

He crossed his legs and leaned back. Behind him was the screen of the beauty's couch, which held him firmly. He turned to look at Lan Ling's well-proportioned side body:

"The general framework is already in place. In a few more days, I will be able to completely perfect the method."

His expression was very leisurely, his crossed legs were shaking rhythmically, and his hands were stretched out, gently resting on the edge of the screen surrounding the beauty's couch.

"That's good... tell me quickly what your 'framework' is?"

Lan Ling turned around with a joyful smile on his face, full of expectations. He was really beautiful and charming, and it made people enchanted.

Su Xian's thoughts moved slightly, he folded up his crossed legs, moved his back away from the screen of the beauty's couch, turned sideways and smiled at Lan Ling: "I have worked too hard these days, and my head is a little dizzy..."

"So?" Lan Ling pursed her lips, vaguely guessing that Su Xian was going to do something bad again, which made her secretly roll her eyes.

"I heard that the princess is very good at massaging with her skillful hands. How about... the princess helps me massage my head?" Although Su Xian had a probing expression, his movements were extremely bold -

I saw him falling down on his back, resting his elbows on the ground, his head facing Princess Lanling who was sitting there, and burrowing straight into her arms like a worm.

"what are you doing?!"

Lan Ling's body sitting there seemed to be frightened, and he tried his best to shrink to the side.

But this can't stop Su Xian from using his hands and feet to "drill".

She had no choice but to put her hand against Su Xian's head, with a hint of dissatisfaction: "I'm not kidding you, tell me quickly what your 'frame' is? Also, I don't know how to massage."

Su Xian's head was pressed against by a pair of small hands, and he stopped moving forward. At this time, he was very close to Lan Ling's body, less than a few inches away.

A strong woman's fragrance hits the nostrils!

It makes people's minds shake violently.

Fortunately, Su Xian was already a proven veteran, and he still had some determination. He turned slightly and looked at Lan Ling, who was "undulating like mountains," and grinned:
"No, princess, you know how to massage."

"What nonsense are you talking about? I..."

"Your Highness, my head is really drowsy. I'm afraid I won't be able to think of anything if I don't press it twice."

"You... okay."

Lan Ling finally gave in, removed his small hand from Su Xian's head, and slowly sat upright, leaning to the side.

Su Xian jumped for joy, used his hands and feet together, turned his back to the sky, threw himself into Lan Ling's arms, and rested his head on his lap.

Although Lan Ling sat up straight, she lowered her head...then bowed her waist and looked at Su Xian who was lying on her lap with a smile on her face. She felt at a loss and a strange feeling gradually arose in her heart.

This situation always gave her the illusion of "holding a little baby".

Inexplicably, her maternal love overflowed.

His eyes also softened.

She even subconsciously touched Su Xian's forehead with her hand, and a sweet curve appeared at the corner of her mouth.

But in the blink of an eye, that arc slowly became stiff...

Su Xian moved to the left, twisted to the right, and finally found a comfortable position. He looked upward, glanced at Lan Ling who was at a loss, closed his eyes and urged:

"Princess, please begin your performance."

He felt that the "pillow" under his head was soft, like a ball of elastic cotton, but this "pillow" was different from cotton in that it also had warmth.

The fragrance of Lan Ling is always lingering around the tip of his nose. It is a wonderful scent of floral scent mixed with body fragrance. It is not greasy or drying, and it is pleasant to smell.

As long as Su Xian lies here, even if Lan Ling doesn't press his head, he will feel comfortable all over and his pores will open one by one... This is probably the life of a god, right?
after a little while.

A pair of small hands clumsily "touched around" on his head.

The fingertips are slender and slightly cool.

Although Lanling's massage was unstructured, the experience it gave Su Xian was excellent.

The princess's massage was truly extraordinary!

"Can you tell me now?"

Suddenly, a fairy voice came from outside the sky, misty and hazy, still in a dream...

Su Xian came back to his senses suddenly, he almost fell asleep just now: "Princess, don't ask, you will find out in a few days."

Lan Ling was immediately dissatisfied. In order to get Su Xian to talk, she first let Su Xian rest on her legs, and then condescended to give Su Xian a massage. But what was the result?
The result is that "you will see the result in a few days"?
She immediately stopped the "massage" and patted Su Xian's shoulder with her beautiful hand. With a stern face, she pushed Su Xian's head from the side with her hand:

"I see you are just talking nonsense, get up! I can hold you down for the whole day when you come up with a solution, but get up now!"

Su Xian is a man after all.

Stronger than Lan Ling.

The weight is not something Lanling can shake.

She pushed hard for a long time, but Su Xian didn't move at all, still resting on her leg, looking at ease.

When Lan Ling saw this, he felt very angry. He really wanted to bend down, press those two powerful breasts on Su Xian's face, and suffocate Su Xian to death.

"Princess, please don't get excited."

Su Xian opened his eyes and persuaded softly:

"I remember telling the princess that this kind of thing should not be spoken out. First, I am afraid that walls have ears, and it will not work if it is leaked."

"Secondly, if the princess knows the perfect strategy of the minister, her mentality will inevitably change. It would not be wonderful if such a change is noticed by someone who is interested."

"Princess, please don't be impatient. Please believe me. I will give you an explanation in a few days!"

"Besides, we are grasshoppers on the same rope. Can I still hurt you?"

"..."

After hearing these words, Lan Ling's restlessness relaxed, and he gradually calmed down.

"It makes sense."

She quietly retracted her hand that pushed Su Xian, and lowered her head to look into Su Xian's eyes... But her sight was always blocked. She bowed slightly, shrank her shoulders, and then she saw Su Xian's eyes:
"Have you really thought of a perfect solution?"

"Sure enough, I dare not lie to the princess." Su Xian met her scrutinizing gaze without any hesitation.

After Lan Ling stared at his eyes for a long time, he finally withdrew his scrutinizing gaze, then his face relaxed and he smiled:

"I am looking forward to that day. By the way, you just said that the results will be available in a few days. Does that mean that the literary test will also be held in a few days?"

"Princess wise!"

"..."

After half an hour.

Su Xian leaves the princess mansion.

out of the palace.

Returning to the Marquis Mansion, he comforted the ladies one by one whom he had not seen for several days, and then plunged into the study to start preparing for the literary examination in a few days.

Suddenly, Yang Zhilan entered the study: "Sir, the spy of the inner guard sent a piece of information, which is related to the Liao Kingdom!"

"Ok?"

Su Xian was sitting behind the desk, writing something with a brush in his hand. After hearing this, he put down his pen and looked at Yang Zhilan and asked, "Is it related to the Liao Kingdom? Is there something wrong with the cooperative development of the area outside Shanhaiguan?"

The matter of cooperative development is a very important cooperation between Liang and Liao.

It’s about peace for hundreds of years to come.

If there is any carelessness and there is a problem in cooperation, the consequences may be unimaginable... because the scale of the newly formed Longwu Army in Daliang is still too small to move south in a large scale against the Liao Army.

Su Xian remembered that when he went to Southern Chu to secretly investigate the former prince, there was a conflict about cooperation.

Fortunately, Lan Ling was in power and the queen was not a vegetarian. With their efforts, they finally passed the crisis smoothly and managed to preserve the hard-won peace in the Central Plains.

Now, there is another problem in Liao Kingdom!

It makes people think that the cooperative development has encountered obstacles again...

Su Xian put away all his distracting thoughts, looked at Yang Zhilan and asked, "What happened in Liao Kingdom?"

"The Emperor of Liao was seriously ill, and Prince Nalanjie sent a large number of envoys to Daliang, Nanchen, Shu, Nanchu and other countries to seek medical advice." Yang Zhilan replied calmly.

"It turns out that Emperor Liao is seriously ill..." Su Xian breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he remembered that there had been another turmoil in the Liao Kingdom since he led his troops northward last year to help the Nalanjie family win the throne of the Liao Kingdom.

During that turmoil, Nalanjie showed unparalleled wisdom and determination, and gained the trust and recognition of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and major tribes.

Emperor Liao was happy to see the success and simply left all state affairs to Nalanjie, and he himself became the de facto "overlord".

People are restless. After Emperor Liao retired from the scene, he began to indulge in wine, sex, singing and dancing. In less than a year, he added more than ten younger brothers and sisters to Nalan Festival.

Emperor Liao was already very old, and after all this hard work, his body was quickly drained and he became seriously ill...

"I'm afraid that Emperor Liao's illness is not that easy to cure, otherwise Nalanjie wouldn't have been searching for a doctor all over the world..." Su Xian frowned and fell into deep thought, lazily muttering to himself:
"If I ask the master to go to the Liao Kingdom, I'm afraid I can cure the Liao Emperor's illness, but... the master doesn't seem to be very interested in the Liao Kingdom."

After thinking about it, Su Xian went to Li Qingniu's yard in person.

Li Qingniu wore an apron around his waist and was making soup in the kitchen. After understanding the situation, he shook the cattail fan to blow up the stove and sneered:

"Liao Guo, hmph, do you know what your mistress hates the most in her life?"

Su Xian turned his head and glanced at the ladies basking in the sun in the yard, then looked away, looked at Li Qingniu and said hesitantly: "Master?"

"Evil fellow! What nonsense are you talking about!"

Li Qingniu's eyes were as wide as those of a cow. He waved the cattail leaf fan in his hand and greeted Su Xian. While greeting him, he explained: "It's not the current master's wife, I'm talking about the master's wife."

"Oh, Master, I'm sorry. Master, please calm down first..." Su Xian hid outside the kitchen. Seeing Li Qingniu calm down, he re-entered:

"This disciple doesn't know this."

There was a trace of anger remaining on Li Qingniu's face, but he wanted to encourage the stove, so he stopped pursuing it and just said in his heart: "Evil disciple, sooner or later I will be pissed to death by you!"

After glaring at Su Xian again, Li Qingniu continued to explain:
"Your master's wife has a biological brother, who can be regarded as your master's brother-in-law. Because his brother-in-law is young, he is quite loved and favored by your master's wife."

"However, there was a turmoil decades ago, and the Liao people went south to invade the border. My poor uncle... was cut into pieces by the Liao people with knives!"

"Your wife was depressed, which was one of the main reasons why she passed away at such a young age!"

"So, don't mention the Liao Kingdom and the Liao Emperor in front of my teacher. If you want to ask my teacher to go north to treat the Liao Emperor, I advise you to put away your thoughts as soon as possible."

"..."

"I see, I understand. I will go and add incense to my wife and her brother..."

Su Xian bowed and turned away, completely giving up the idea of ​​inviting Li Qingniu to go north.

The Liao people were equivalent to indirectly killing Li Qingniu's first wife. This feud was so big that if it were Su Xian, he wouldn't forgive the Liao country!

This kind of thing is not negotiable!
……

Back to the study.

Su Xian put what he had just done behind his mind, sat down at the desk again, picked up the brush, dipped it in ink and continued writing...

Unexpectedly, Yang Zhilan entered the room again after a while, handed an envelope, and brought a horrifying news: "Sir, there is news from Nanchen that Emperor Chen is critically ill!"

At that time, Su Xian was writing with a brush in his hand. Suddenly he heard the news that "Chen Emperor is critically ill". His heart trembled violently, and his hands also trembled... This article was ruined.

He didn't care much, just threw the brush on the paper, stood up and looked at Yang Zhilan, his face was very shocked and exaggerated: "What did you say? Emperor Chen is critically ill?!"

Su Xian had long expected that Emperor Chen was critically ill.

The last time we turned south to Chen, Emperor Chen was already bedridden.

At that time, Su Xian concluded that Emperor Chen would die soon...

However, I didn't expect it to come so quickly, it was really sudden.

The terrible thing is that he is currently preparing for the literary examination. This matter is related to Lanling and the stability of the Daliang court. It is extremely important.

Emperor Chen is actually critically ill at this time...Isn't this inappropriate to cause trouble?
Su Xian's face suddenly turned ugly, and he felt that he was "incapable of doing anything".

On the one hand, it was his promise to Chen Keyan. He once said personally that when Emperor Chen was critically ill, he would definitely go south to support him until Chen Keyan successfully ascended the throne.

On the other hand, it was his promise to Princess Lanling. He had personally said that he would find a way to help Lanling solve this problem...

Well now, the two things actually collided!
Su Xian suddenly had a headache. Should he continue to stay in Shendu and help Lan Ling solve the problem?Or should he resolutely go south and go to Jiangning to support Chen Keyan?
Eh!
It’s really uncomfortable to be caught between these two women!
Su Xian couldn't help but put his hand on his forehead, unable to make up his mind for a moment.

Li Youqing, Princess of Lanling in Daliang, and Chen Keyan, Princess of Wu State in Nanchen, are the most favored and powerful princesses in their respective countries, and they all have great ambitions for the throne.

They all disliked each other, and they fought overtly and covertly.

No matter what choice Su Xian makes, whether to stay in Daliang or resolutely go south, it will cause great harm to the other party.

For example, if Su Xian chooses to "help Lan Ling and ignore Chen Keyan", Chen Keyan will definitely get angry when she finds out. She cannot accept that Su Xian helps Lan Ling but not her.

On the other hand, if Su Xianruo chooses to "help Chen Keyan and ignore Lan Ling", Lan Ling will most likely lose his mind on the spot when he finds out.

Both of them are women who want to be strong, and neither of them can bear the frustration of "Su Xian helps others but not her".

"Young master, believe me!"

Yang Zhilan's extremely calm voice came.

Save Su Xian from his wild thoughts.

Su Xian calmed down, reached out to take the letter, and opened it. It turned out that Emperor Chen was not critically ill. Chen Keyan predicted in the letter that Emperor Chen might not be able to survive in ten days. Su Xian asked Su Xian to prepare in advance. .

"So it's like this, ten days is enough!" Su Xianzhong heaved a sigh of relief.

"Young Master?" Yang Zhilan was a little confused.

"Go ahead and tell me that the literary test originally scheduled to be held in a few days will be moved to tomorrow. Please make preparations for all parties, especially the literary talents." Su Xian made an immediate decision.

"Yes."
