Chapter 179 Princess: Who dares to be a deserter, give me a flogging
Concubine Luo calmed down since she knew what the King of Shunan was thinking.

Nanqing, king of Southern Shu, wanted to support Shu and stand on his own. If the vassal king of Kyushu did not get into chaos, he would have no chance. Therefore, concubine Luo was here for the rest of the few days. special dishes.

Four or five days passed like this, and the group officially entered Rongcheng.

A leisurely and peaceful atmosphere that was very different from the capital city rushed over. Concubine Luo looked out from the carriage. The city walls here are not as tall as the capital city, and the streets are not as wide as the capital city, but there are teahouses and restaurants everywhere.

Even in broad daylight, people could be seen coming and going in the wine shop, and some even came out drunk.

The people walking on the street walk slowly and freely, as if they don't worry about making a living at all. The people here exude a kind of satisfaction and ease from the bottom of their bones.

The carriage entered the Shunan Palace directly from the gate, and when Concubine Luo stepped on the ground again, she was already in a holly garden with lush leaves.

The courtyard is spacious, with the main house and the east and west wing rooms. There is also a small pond with running water in the courtyard. Outside the path, there are green holly, which looks very vibrant.

The three of Shouyang were busy tidying up the main room, and replaced it with what Concubine Luo was used to. The rest of the guards stood in the west wing, but the bright east wing spontaneously gave up to Qin Shou, the son-in-law.

Concubine Luo and Qin Shou were standing in the courtyard, they hadn't entered the house, when they were discussing how to find out the news about Longshan, a guard came in and reported that a Nanman lady in strange clothes wanted to see the princess.

Concubine Luo straightened her back, letting people know.

The Nanman lady was really dressed strangely, with countless small braids on her head, and the small braids were gathered into big braids, but they were tied into a circle, with a snake-like Yin Huasheng Tiaoxin stuck in the middle, and the rest Small braids, each with a silver bell the size of a soybean.

As soon as she walked, she made a tinkling sound, very delicate.

The dress on her body is also weird, royal blue silk, pinched waist and narrow sleeves, underneath is a horse face skirt, neckline, cuffs and skirt, but it is embroidered with winding red thread texture, enchanting and weird, just like It is densely packed with long strips of insects.

As soon as she came in, her eyes fell on Concubine Luo, and she didn't pay attention, she walked around Concubine Luo a few times, then tilted her head and said, "So, you are the eldest princess Concubine Luo of Great Yin?"

Concubine Luo nodded, she didn't mean to be rude, but she must put on the noble air of a princess, her elegant demeanor can make people feel ashamed.

She suddenly moved closer to Concubine Luo, almost touching the tip of her nose.

Only then did Concubine Luo realize that there were light silver lines drawn on the face of this Nanman girl. The lines started from her lower jaw, spread to the cheekbones, then the corners of the eyes, the brow bones, and finally disappeared on her cheekbones. The location of the temples.

"Ah Qing is actually going to pick you up, so she won't accompany me back to my family." The Nanman girl has delicate facial features, not like Pingting Qingwan, a noble lady in the capital, but with a kind of wild beauty, and her eyebrows and eyes are mixed with Nanman talents Some are mysterious.

Concubine Luo pursed her lips, she didn't like to get too close to unfamiliar people, she was about to say something, when Qin Shou who was beside her suddenly pulled her into his arms and grabbed her with his right hand.

The phoenix eyes stared at the little lady coldly, Qin Shou squeezed his right hand hard, and then he spread his hand, and saw a small black bug the size of a grain of rice crushed to pieces, "Nanban witch, you have crossed the line!"

The Nanman girl looked at Qin Shou in surprise, "Who are you?"

Qin Shou threw away the dead bugs casually, and did not let go of his half-hugging Concubine Luo, but parted his thin lips, and uttered a few strange words in a tone that Concubine Luo had never heard before.

The Nanman witch's expression changed immediately, and she hurriedly said something to Qin Shou in the same language, but Qin Shou stopped talking, turned around and walked into the house with Concubine Luo, and bowed his head to her, "She is the Nanban witch , knows the art of Gu insects, the princess must be extremely careful."

Concubine Luo then felt scared, mainly because the bugs were disgusting, she unconsciously grabbed his sleeve and raised her head and asked, "So the technique of Gu bugs is to really inject Gu bugs into the human body?"

Qin Shou nodded, "Of course it is, but fortunately, that witch has not mastered the art of Gu worms to the extreme, otherwise Kyushu would not be able to stop her anyway."

Concubine Luo sat down in the armchair made of pineapple wood. She saw the Nanban witch in the courtyard stomp her foot, gave Qin Shou a fearful look, then turned and left.

Concubine Luo was surprised that Qin Shou could speak Nanman dialect, "You spoke Nanman dialect to her at first? How can a son-in-law who grew up in Rongzhou speak Nanman dialect?"

Seeing the vigilant look on Concubine Luo's face, Qin Shou knew that she still didn't trust him, but he didn't hide it, "When I was very young, my biological mother in Jiuzhou taught me some things, and then I learned some things by chance."

As for what kind of coincidence it was, he didn't say anything.

Concubine Luo believes it or not, no one knows, she rubbed the armrest of the chair, abruptly changed the subject, "I, Gong Guan, Shangguan Mi is a general who can't be provoked and has an impulsive temperament, such a person is easy to deal with, but I don't know his How is the brother's temper?"

Qin Shou followed her and said, "Shangguan Mi's brother is called Shangguan Shang. He is completely different from Shangguan Mi in temperament. He is very cunning and scheming. Even this king believes that Shangguan Mi can take away [-] Suzaku rebels. This is all because of Shangguan Mi." Credit to the injury."

Concubine Luo felt that it was really a headache. It's not good to have too many smart people in this world, and it's hard to deal with each of them. Even though she knew that Qin Shou must have a way, she still didn't want to ask him when she was in a desperate situation.

She stretched out her hand and rubbed the center of her brows, "Got it."

"Understood." With the same words, Shunan Wang Nanqing said to the Nanman witch in front of him.

The witch supported the desk with both hands, leaned over, and said loudly, "Ah Qing, did you listen to me, I said that the person next to the princess can speak Nanman language, and he warned me."

The King of Shunan put down his pen, looked down at the affairs accumulated over the past few days on the desk, and said without expression, "That's Princess Luo, the person you're talking about is a son-in-law."

The witch nodded hurriedly, "Yes, he was the one who warned me in Nanman language, and even killed my little heart."

Mentioning this point, the King of Shunan suddenly raised his head and said sternly, "Did you attack the princess?"

The witch pouted, "I've been spoiled by the son-in-law."

"Crack!" The King of Shunan slapped the table and stood up abruptly, "Apologize with me and the princess."

The witch folded her arms around her chest and hid her hands, "Don't go!"

The King of Shunan helped his forehead, he took a deep breath, and said patiently, "Listen, Mo Xin, the status of a princess consort is extraordinary, you used to do something to others, I can deal with the aftermath with you, it's always my fault But if you dare to fight the princess again, don't blame me for sending you back to Nanman Forest, and you are not allowed to stay in Rongcheng."

The witch named Mo Xin frowned aggrievedly, and said reluctantly, "Okay, I understand, just don't attack the princess."

Seeing Mo Xin's disapproving expression, the King of Shunan sighed, thinking of sending more people to watch her more closely.

Later in the day, the King of Shunan went to Concubine Luo with the white-bordered purple Ganoderma lucidum and other good things that could only be found in the southern barbarian forest.

Concubine Luo was reading the military book, she announced people in, but didn't make a sound.

After seeing the ceremony, the King of Shunan stood in the middle of the room like that, very embarrassed.

However, he had no choice but to accept it with peace of mind, because he offended Concubine Luo by sleeping on his own.

Concubine Luo didn't let him stand for a long time, after roughly reading ten pages of the military book, she suddenly raised her head and said, "Looking at this palace, I was fascinated by the book, and the king of Shunan is still there."

The King of Shunan went straight to the point, "The minister came to plead guilty with the princess, and it took a hundred days to stand up. My sister Mo Xin offended the princess. I ask the princess to forgive her for this small step."

Concubine Luo asked Ming Qu and the King of Shunan to move Jinzhu, and then closed the book of war, and said lazily, "It turns out that she is the younger sister of the King of Shunan, she is really cute, and the little things she keeps are very... …special."

The King of Shunan hurriedly delivered the tonic in his hand, "Mo Xin and this king are related by clan. She is a Nanman witch, so she is interested in some insects and snakes. This is very common in Nanman."

"It seems that this palace is still ignorant." Concubine Luo said in a low voice, with a calm tone, imitating Qin Shou, without any emotion.

How could the King of Shunan dare to excuse Mo Xin again, "I will strictly discipline you in the future and show mercy to the princess."

He can be regarded as humble, for the sake of Mo Xin, he grew half a bit shorter in front of Concubine Luo.

Concubine Luo sighed suddenly, and said speciously, "I am so worried about the remnants of Shangguan's family that I can't stop worrying about it, how can I remember other irrelevant things."

Hearing this, the King of Shunan's eyes flashed, and he pondered for a moment before saying, "I will definitely help the princess to solve her problems."

"Oh?" Concubine Luo elongated the ending meaningfully, "How will the King of Shunan relieve my worries?"

King Yizheng of Shunan said, "I can lead the Shangguan family brothers down to Longshan, catch turtles in the urn in Rongcheng, arrest two people at the same time, and kill them first, so that the Suzaku rebels will have no leader, and naturally they will be defeated."

Concubine Luo sneered, "What if the rebels jump over the wall in a hurry? I heard that Shangguan's injury is quite tricky."

The King of Shunan frowned, "I am stupid."

Concubine Luo was too lazy to pretend to be a snake with the king of Shunan anymore. He was always very smooth, not revealing anything, and he was born with a gentleman's magnanimity, which made people feel that there was no way to start.

"This matter, I have my own concerns," Concubine Luo touched the military book in her hand, and had a vague idea in her mind, "You just need to remember, you owe me once."

The King of Shunan had no choice but to compromise and said, "Yes, I will keep it in mind."

Concubine Luo waved her hand, indicating to back off, and the King of Shunan bowed at Concubine Luo and bowed her hands, and retreated.

As soon as the people left, Qin Shou turned around from behind the screen in the inner room. He was dressed in black, and his long crow-colored hair was only tied with the same black cloth scarf.

Concubine Luo glanced at him and asked, "How about the rest of the Vermilion Bird Army?"

It turned out that Qin Shou had quietly gone to the Zhuque military camp and came back, his brows frowned, "Not too good, there are not fifty thousand soldiers in the camp, at most forty thousand."

Concubine Luo was shocked, "How could this be? Didn't it mean that the remnants of the Shangguan family only took away 5 horses? It happened to be half of the camp."

Qin Shou pursed his thin lips slightly, "It's half of the number, but since the Shangguan brothers openly rebelled, the rest of the Suzaku army is also panicked, and there are deserters every day. These days, there are already tens of thousands of people missing."

Concubine Luo gasped, her heart was full of resentment and heartache, "If I let this palace know that they are all deserters, I must arrest them one by one and whip Baizhang."

She also knew it well, she only talked about whipping, but didn't dare to say about beheading.
