Chapter 921: Never Leave and Never Abandon
There is actually nothing much to say about His Royal Highness the King of Chu wanting to split up Loulan.
Qin Qiong naturally nodded in agreement.
When he turned around and told the Loulan envoy the news, who would have thought that the guy actually knelt down to Qin Qiong crying.
"Your Excellency and benevolent General, I know that it was you who fought so hard for us in front of His Royal Highness the King of Chu that earned us such a lenient outcome. We will never forget your kindness..."
Qin Qiong basically pretended not to hear what the Loulan envoy was going to say next.
Because he was really confused: So... you worked so hard before just to save your life in the Western Regions?
But when Qin Qiong turned around and thought about it again, he let it go: His Royal Highness the King of Chu basically abused all the foreign races around the Tang Dynasty - plus the once invincible Turks collapsed so quickly in the hands of this uncle. It seems that after the King of Loulan chose the wrong side, he also knew what kind of end he might face, so as long as he could survive, he didn't dare to care about some things that he should have cared about.
So everyone was happy in the end.
But since everything in the Western Regions has been concluded, His Royal Highness the King of Chu naturally has no reason to stay.
So ten days later, His Royal Highness the King of Chu finally set out on his journey home with his retainers.
Of course, this family business in Gaochang City still needs someone to look after it - Su Dingfang is obviously the best candidate, and Pei Xingjian also needs more experience before he can be of great use.
It’s just a pity that Pei Xingyan and his brother have to separate again not long after they met.
In this regard, His Royal Highness the King of Chu privately asked Pei Xingyan, saying that if he wanted to stay, he would make other arrangements.
But Pei Xingyan politely declined after hearing this: "Your Highness, Xingjian is not a child anymore. He knows that if he wants to succeed, he must be tempered. Besides, you are short of manpower now. How can I ignore your great cause for my own selfish desires?"
"Oh...what great cause..." In a small courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion, upon hearing Pei Xingyan's words, His Royal Highness the King of Chu immediately waved his hands, indicating that such things should not be taken seriously. Then he said seriously: "But since that tyrant has given me so many fiefs, I have to send people to keep them under control - Xingyan, how about you guard Xiangzhou for me?"
"Since Your Highness needs it, I am naturally willing to do it." Pei Xingyan smiled when he heard it. He had been wandering for many years and had long been accustomed to taking things as they come. But after taking this job, perhaps it means that he may really be able to settle down in one place. It is quite wonderful to think about it.
"Okay then, it's settled." Seeing that Pei Xingyan agreed readily, His Royal Highness the King of Chu prepared to get up and go to the lobby to discuss with Xie Gong the candidates for guarding Yangzhou and Quanzhou. As for the fiefdom of Lantian County, Li Kuan thought about it again and again and still decided to leave it there for the time being. The reason why he did this was, on the one hand, to show that he was now "sensible", and on the other hand, to let a certain foolish monarch know that from now on, he should also be on guard against the other party.
Although it is inevitable that everyone will feel sad, but at this point, since a certain tyrant has suspected someone he shouldn't have, sadness is inevitable. Why bother talking about the deep love between father and son?
Some things can never be returned.
At this time, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu was feeling very melancholy, and when he came to the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion with this melancholy mood, suddenly, Zhang Zhenxuan and Yuan Tiangang suddenly appeared from nowhere, and then both of them looked at their own master with meaningful expressions.
"What's wrong?" King Chu was no longer surprised by Gangzi's daily attacks, but it was a bit outrageous that Zhenxuan was also like this: "Zhenxuan, why do you hang out with Gangzi for no reason? And the expressions on your faces now... To be honest, this king doesn't really understand..."
"Your Highness, the beauty is very kind to you, Your Highness..." Yuan Tiangang couldn't help but laugh when he heard it, "As expected of the head of our Dou family, you are really capable!"
"Huh?" When His Royal Highness the King of Chu heard Gangzi's words, he immediately had a bad feeling in his heart: "What do you mean? Another ruler of the Western Regions is sending me a beautiful Hu concubine? Oh... Zhenxuan, you should refuse it for me. Now I--"
"Again?" Suddenly, a clear and pleasant voice interrupted King Chu's self-promotion: "Stunning Hu Ji?"
"..." His Royal Highness Prince Chu's voice stopped abruptly at this moment. Then when he turned around, he saw a stunning girl in a sky-blue skirt standing in front of him. Her bright eyes seemed to be able to speak, and at this moment they were filled with smiles and inquiries: "It seems that His Royal Highness Prince Chu is having a very happy time in the Western Regions..."
For a moment, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu felt that he must be hallucinating, so much so that he wanted to turn around and hit Yuan Tiangang a few times to prove his inference.
Can……
He suddenly wanted to find another way to verify it.
So in front of the two Taoist priests behind him, as well as Xie Minlin and Hong Funu who were standing behind Yu Lian'er, His Royal Highness the King of Chu strode forward, came in front of Yu Lian'er, then suddenly opened his arms and hugged her tightly.
Lian'er, you don't know how much I miss you.
Lian'er, I have no home anymore.
The boy's body was trembling slightly, and no one could express the sorrow in his heart.
He is the much-anticipated King of Chu of the Tang Dynasty, and he is the young head of the family who is highly expected by his retainers.
But even so, he was just a young boy who had not yet reached adulthood.
Just when His Royal Highness the King of Chu felt that he could no longer suppress his sadness at this moment, suddenly, he felt a slight tightening around his waist.
Although she felt her face burning, Yu Lian'er still bravely stretched out her arms and gently embraced her lover. She was telling him with her actions: no matter what happens, now or in the future, she will be by his side.
Never leave or abandon, forever.
