Cthulhu

Chapter 263
Since the body of the halberd he shot flew out horizontally, but the body of the halberd hit the guards who rushed forward, at most it just knocked them down, not injured them.Now that he is in the palace of Wuli country, he must be measured in his actions. If he kills people indiscriminately, it will be difficult to talk about it later.

The arena was in full swing, because there were too many guards, and a guard team of more than a hundred people came behind, it was not easy for Cheng Cheng to attack and kill them.

At this moment, a carriage embroidered with a phoenix came over and stopped conveniently behind the battlefield, and then a girl jumped out of the sedan chair, it was Xiangxiang, and she couldn't help shouting coquettishly when she saw the fierce fighting in the field :"stop!"

The guards stopped their hands one after another, seeing Princess Xiangxiang coming, the leader was relieved, now they really dare not hurt Cheng Cheng, they were distressed in their hearts, they did not expect the savior to arrive.With Princess Xiangxiang here, they don't have to worry about it anymore.

"Okay, you all go back." Xiangxiang said to the guards as she stepped forward.

"Yes, Your Royal Highness." The leader let out a sigh of relief, and quickly left with the guards. Only the guards guarding the yard were left and returned to their posts.

"What are you doing?" When everything calmed down, Princess Xiangxiang frowned slightly and looked at Cheng Cheng, and fought with the guards in the palace, which could be considered vile.

"I also want to ask you what are you doing? Are you going to choose a son-in-law or a prisoner to participate in the alchemy ceremony? Why are you imprisoned in the courtyard and not allowed to take a step out of the courtyard?" Looking directly at Xiangxiang, Cheng Sheng asked coldly road.

Princess Xiangxiang acted like a guilty conscience, she didn't dare to look at her, her eyes dodged, and she replied after a while: "Letting you stay in the courtyard is only temporary. After tomorrow's wedding ceremony, you will regain your freedom. You can walk freely."

"Well, let me ask you, what kind of wedding is going on in the palace? You can tell me about it." Not being able to get out of the courtyard is only secondary, mainly because there are too many puzzles in my heart, too many unthinkable things, and being banned It's hard for him to understand.

A trace of panic suddenly flickered on Xiangxiang's pretty face, and she quickly explained: "What kind of happy event you have has nothing to do with you, and you can just leave it alone."

"But I want to know now. If you don't want to tell me, I can only ask myself."

Seeing that Cheng Cheng was about to leave, Xiangxiang suddenly felt sad and angry, and shouted loudly at his back: "Cheng Cheng, do you really care about her that much?"

Stopping in his tracks, Cheng Cheng suddenly turned around, looked at Xiang Xiang who was showing panic, and asked suspiciously, "What are you talking about? Why do you care about her so much?"

"No, nothing." After hesitating for a while, Xiangxiang quickly explained.

Cheng Cheng was as smart as a monkey, and Xiang Xiang's abnormal behavior made him feel that there must be something going on, and it was going on without telling him, since she refused to say it, he could only find out by himself.

She didn't expect that she had slipped up all of a sudden, seeing that Cheng Cheng was going to find out what happened, she was emotionally pulled, struggling, thinking whether to tell Cheng Cheng the truth?Gritting his teeth for the last time, seeing him so persistently trying to figure it out, why not tell him the truth, lest he hate himself in the future.

Thinking about this clearly, Xiangxiang ran forward directly, grabbed Cheng Cheng's hand and said, "Go back to the house, I've told you everything, you are looking for death by going so recklessly."

He glanced at Xiangxiang half-believingly, then went back to the yard with her, entered the house, and asked, "Tell me what's going on."

Xiangxiang fell into a struggle again. If she told Chengcheng the truth, she would be out of the game, but if she didn't tell him the truth, he would hate herself for the rest of her life. She could only choose one of the two. She felt that it was really difficult to choose. .

"Do you really want to know?" After a while, he asked in a whisper.

"Of course, otherwise, what am I going to do with you?" He looked a little impatient.

"Okay, I can tell you, but you must treat it calmly after listening."

"You say it."

"Actually, the people outside are from the welcoming team."

"Welcome team? Whose relatives are you welcoming?"

Xiangxiang felt her mind was in a hurry, and she couldn't say anything more, but seeing Chengcheng's persistent face, she clenched her teeth and said, "Fenghuang's."

Cheng Cheng was stunned by this answer. Is it the welcoming team that came to welcome Nangong Yuling?He was obviously still grounded in the yard, saying that tomorrow is the wedding ceremony with her, so where did the welcoming team come from?
"Tell me quickly, what's going on?" He frowned tightly, touching the edge of this conspiracy, Cheng Cheng seemed even more eager, wanting to figure out the cause and effect of the matter.

The important information was also spat out, and Xiangxiang was not going to hide it from him anymore, she really didn't want to leave a bad impression on Cheng Cheng, let alone make him hate herself.Seeing him only a few times, Xiangxiang really hopes to be with him instead of being a political victim in the future and marrying someone she doesn't know at all.

As long as she kept the secret from today, she would be able to marry Cheng Cheng as she wished tomorrow. If she did so, not only would she feel a sense of guilt, but it might also make Cheng Cheng hate herself, so she didn't do it.

"Jian Nantian is the one who took the phoenix. The Jian family has sent a welcoming team today, and they will welcome the phoenix back to the Jian family in the evening. The person you want to take tomorrow is me."

"What did you say? How could this be?"

"Jian Nantian is the son of Jian Feiyang, the head of the Jian family, and also the queen's nephew. He has always liked Fenghuang. This alchemy contest is just a condition for him and Fenghuang to win the alchemy ceremony. That is, the title of son-in-law. , the wind just took the phoenix back. Jian Nantian’s great skill is Da Huan Dan. He has practiced it hundreds of times, so he won’t make too many mistakes, and he can easily catch it. I didn’t expect you to beat me when everything is ready. The people from the Jian family insisted on taking Fenghuang through the door, so they asked me to be a substitute to marry you, and tonight they will send Fenghuang to the Jian family." Xiangxiang didn't hide anything from him, and told him the whole story .

After listening to it, Cheng Cheng felt that it was too absurd, what kind of bullshit alchemy ceremony recruited a son-in-law?It's just a big lie that the Jian family and the Nangong family have negotiated. Taking this opportunity to recruit some new alchemists in the empire and make a lot of money, it's really insidious.

No wonder the old emperor wanted to favor Jian Nantian, Lin Sakay's elixir was of higher quality, but he was judged to be the winner of Jiannantian, if he hadn't made the elixir of the highest grade, he would still be declared the winner of Jiannantian.

Suddenly there was a surge of anger in his chest, let the Jian family and the Helian family play with each other in the palm of their hands, they were confined in the courtyard, and they couldn't even get out of the courtyard door, but they wanted to marry the woman who should have been betrothed to him tonight. To another person, for him, this is a humiliation, an intolerable humiliation.

Only now did he realize that he cared about Nangong Yuling in his heart. When he heard that she was going to marry that bastard Jian Nantian, in addition to being angry at the Nangong family and the Jian family for hiding the sky and crossing the sea with one hand, the more important thing was not to let anyone hurt Nangong Yuling. If he touches her with a finger, whoever he dares to kill.

Nangong Yuling, who is strong on the surface, is actually very fragile inside. Cheng Cheng learned everything about her from Liu Sishi, and he has a kind of feeling in his heart for this woman who has lived in the palace since she was a child but suffered all kinds of white eyes and insults. Such a pity, such a beautiful and outstanding girl should not suffer so much.

This time, going back to Wuli country to marry Jian Nantian of the Jian family was definitely not what she had in mind. When she returned to the queen, she would not have any freedom.

"Snapped"

The teacup in his hand shattered with a slap, and the shards of porcelain pierced into his palm, but he didn't feel any pain at all, because he was already wrapped in anger at this moment.

As soon as he slapped the table, Cheng Cheng got up and walked out, determined not to see Nangong Yuling being taken by the sword family, he wanted to take this woman away, out of the palace, out of Wuli Kingdom.

"Cheng Cheng, what do you want to do?" Xiang Xiang hurried forward, holding him back and shouting softly.

"You don't need to worry about it, I have to take Nangong Yuling out of the palace today." After shaking her grasped hand twice, Cheng Cheng couldn't help but turned his head and stared at her angrily.

"Can you calm down? If you go out like this, you are going to die or die. Can you take her out of the palace by yourself? I'm sure you haven't seen her yet, and your life is gone. What else can you do to take her away?" Leave?" Xiangxiang knew the current situation, there were many masters guarding Fenghuang, and it was difficult for Cheng Cheng to get close.

"I have my own way, you don't have to worry about it."

"Do you have to do this?"

"That's right!"

"Okay, I'll help you. Before the wedding team takes away Phoenix tonight, I'll get rid of everyone around her. When the time comes, you can take her away. Whether you can get out of this palace depends on your fate." After finishing speaking, Xiangxiang ran out of the house without looking back, covered her mouth and nose with her hands when she just stepped out of the door, and two teardrops fell on the ground like pearls.

Cheng Cheng was stunned suddenly. He cared too much about Nangong Yuling just now, so he couldn't sit still, his mood was very unstable, and his words were heavy, which probably hurt Xiangxiang's heart.I feel a little sorry in my heart, and want to apologize to her, but the person has disappeared.

Suddenly there was a strange feeling, which made him frown slightly, and then he calmed down and sat on the bed to meditate and practice. He wanted to improve his strength to the best state, and a deadly battle was inevitable at night. Nangong Yuling brought out the palace It is impossible to go here, not for Liu Sishi, but for herself.
