Chapter 63
After getting along with each other for a few days, Tang Yin got to know Yin Rou's personality somewhat. She seemed mature and calm when things happened, but she was shy by nature, or very afraid of strangers. When on the road, she would rather stay in a small carriage than Come out and breathe.
There will definitely be many guests at the banquet hosted by Li Xian, and everyone is full of curiosity about the princess. Coupled with her charming appearance, she will definitely become the focus of the banquet, and will be watched and admired by groups of strangers. No one will want to It would be comfortable, not to mention that there were many people at the banquet, and safety was also a problem. Tang Yin did not dare to be careless.
Yin Rou looked at Tang Yin curiously and asked, "How do you know I don't like this kind of banquet?"
Tang Yin shrugged and said, "I guess."
"What if you guessed wrong?" Tang Yin was always confident when he spoke, unlike others who were respectful in front of her. She is the princess of the empire, with a noble status, and she has been pampered since she was a child. Although she usually seems to understand etiquette and general knowledge, she is not yet twenty years old after all, and she still retains the coquettishness of a girl in her temperament.
After being stunned for a moment, he said seriously: "If Her Royal Highness the Princess is not satisfied with my arrangement, I can go to Mr. Li now and tell him that Her Royal Highness will attend his banquet." As he spoke, he really wanted to turn around and face him. Go outside.
Yin Rou was shocked. She didn't have any banquet to attend. She felt a headache just thinking about it. She hurriedly stretched out her hand to stop Tang Yin, and said with an unnatural smile: "General Tang, please stay. I... am very satisfied with your arrangement."
Smiling secretly in his heart but not showing it on his face, Tang Yin said expressionlessly: "If this is the case, I will feel at ease. If Your Highness the Princess has nothing else to do, I will leave first."
"Wait a minute!" Yin Rou stopped him again.
She was half-lying on the table, holding her chin with one hand, and boringly scribbling on the table with the other to read the full text.
In the past few days, or rather since she left the capital and went to Beijing, she had been living a very boring life, either bumping along the road or socializing with dignitaries from the vassal states, unable to find anyone to chat with. Tang Yin was different from others. He would not stare at her intently like other men, making her feel uncomfortable. There was wildness and evil in his eyes, but they were also very clear, even if she looked at him. , she also feels very comfortable.
"Is there anything else, Your Highness Princess?" Tang Yin asked puzzledly.
"It's nothing, it's just..." She hesitated in embarrassment.
"Just what?" He definitely had the courage to break the casserole and ask the question.
"I just feel bored!" Yin Rou rolled her eyes at Tang Yin with dissatisfaction, but there was an element of coquettishness in her words.
"Oh!" Tang Yin was stunned for a moment, then nodded with understanding. She is not yet twenty years old. Normally, a girl of this age is the time to enjoy herself without any worries, but she has to bear the burden of mediating wars between vassal states. This should be regarded as the sadness of being an imperial princess, especially The Haotian Empire is declining or even dying.
Tang Yin originally wanted to leave, but after hearing Yin Rou's words, he walked to the table instead, pulled up a chair and sat down opposite Yin Rou.
The maids in the room were all startled by his sudden move, but seeing that Yin Rou had no intention of getting angry, they breathed a sigh of relief.
"How long has General Tang been in the army?" Yin Rou picked up the teacup and asked casually.
"It's not long, less than two months."
Yin Rou was a little surprised. Even though she didn't know much about the military, she knew that the corps commander was not a small position. She asked suspiciously: "You became the corps commander in less than two months?"
Tang Yin did not answer directly, but asked with a smile: "Your Highness, Princess, you don't believe in my ability?"
She shook her head absentmindedly. She still remembered the scene when she met Tang Yin on the first day. At that time, Tang Yin was exuding black spiritual energy. Although he did not attack her, the aura he showed was very scary. He really scared her that day. Until now. Still have lingering fears.
She has been troubled by this matter for the past few days.
She asked: "That day, you were not possessed by something as others said, but you mistook me for someone else, right?"
Tang Yin was stunned. He didn't expect that Yin Rou, a spoiled princess, would have such meticulous thoughts. He didn't know how to answer. After scratching his head and thinking for a moment, Fang said, "You can also say that."
"The girl named Crystal?"
"Haha!" Tang Yin smiled bitterly. It always seems weird to say Crystal's name from Yin Rou's mouth.
"Where is she now?" Yin Rou couldn't help but asked curiously.
"She should have died a long time ago." Tang Yin pretended to be indifferent and shrugged his shoulders.
"Oh!" After Yin Rou heard this, she couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief for some reason. Maybe she didn't want a girl who looked exactly like her to exist in the world. Maybe she didn't like being misunderstood by others. other people.
Not wanting to get entangled in the topic of crystals, Tang Yin changed the subject and said, "How long does Her Royal Highness intend to stay in Feng Country?"
Yin Rou pouted her bright red mouth, shook her head and said, "I don't know, it mainly depends on the attitude of the Feng King. If he can accept my mediation quickly, I won't be in the Feng Kingdom for too long. On the contrary, it may take a long time." It will take a while."
Tang Yin secretly laughed, considering the current situation of Feng Country, how could King Feng not accept mediation? He asserted with a smile: "Your Highness, please rest assured that you will not be in Feng Country for too long."
"Ah?" Yin Rou became interested. She wanted to hear more news about Feng Guo. "Why do you say that?"
"When Her Royal Highness the Princess arrives in Yancheng, you will naturally understand it." Tang Yin is not a talkative person, and he will not say more than he should.
Unknowingly, Tang Yin had been sitting in the princess's room for a long time. It wasn't until Qiu Zhen came to see him that he realized that he had been chatting with Yin Rou for too long, and then he stood up and said goodbye to her.
Yin Rou is also very strange. She is not a person who is good at long conversations, especially with strange men, but she seems to have forgotten the time when she is with Tang Yin, and she even talks happily with him. For some reason, Tang Yin has this... There was a sense of intimacy that she could not describe, and watching him leave, she even felt a sense of loss in her heart.
After leaving the princess's room, Tang Yin and Qiu Zhen walked out side by side.
Seeing that there was still a smile on his face, Qiu Zhen said tentatively: "Your Highness the Princess is very beautiful!"
"Oh!" Tang Yin responded noncommittally. No one could deny Yin Rou's beauty.
"Brother Tang to Your Highness the Princess..."
Before he could continue, Tang Yin interrupted: "It's just appreciation."
It was not easy for Tang Yin to say the word "appreciation" from Tang Yin's mouth. Even for Wu Mei, he never mentioned appreciation.
Qiu Zhen seemed to have discovered a new world and asked amusedly: "There is something about Her Royal Highness that Brother Tang can appreciate?"
Tang Yin glanced at him strangely and said, "What is this?! Although Her Royal Highness the Princess is young, she is very smart and astute!"
"To be honest, I didn't see it." Qiu Zhen said sincerely.
"..." Tang Yin was speechless.
He couldn't deny that he had a strong affection for Yin Rou, and this kind of affection was beyond his control at all. It came naturally. He couldn't ignore the face that was exactly the same as the crystal, the voice that was exactly the same, and the outstanding temperament that was exactly the same. …
evening.
Tang Yin and Qiu Zhen went to the city lord's mansion together.
The dinner prepared by Li Xian was quite grand. The house was decorated with lights and colorful decorations. It was like a festive occasion and many guests came to attend. Except for the officials of Wancheng, the rest were all local wealthy businessmen, including many nobles.
This is the first time for the princess of the empire to come to Feng Kingdom and pass through Wancheng. It is really a rare opportunity for people. They all want to see what the princess looks like. The disappointing result is that the princess did not come. Tang Yin, who was responsible for the safety of the princess, was appointed.
However, with Tang Yin here, we can also inquire about some news about the princess.
At the banquet, Li Xian moved Tang Yin and Qiu Zhen to the main seats. The people at the table were all the richest and most wealthy landlords in Wancheng.
After the simple greetings, people started asking questions non-stop.
"What does Her Royal Highness look like?"
"Noble and holy."
"How is your Royal Highness the Princess?"
"Excellent and wise."
"How is your speech, Your Highness the Princess?"
"Sensitive and resourceful."
"your Highness……"
Everyone kept asking questions, but Tang Yin was blocking them with soldiers and water, and he answered their questions one by one simply and without being disrespectful.
On the surface, he was coping well, but in fact he was complaining in his heart. When he came, he had a premonition that this banquet would be difficult to handle, but he didn't expect that there were so many questions from everyone here, and they asked them endlessly. , but in fact she is like the leader of the group, chatty and noisy.
Sensing his impatience, Qiu Zhen whispered beside him: "Hold on for a while longer, and the banquet will be over soon."
Tang Yin glared at him fiercely. If Qiu Zhen hadn't agreed to Li Xian's words quickly, he wouldn't have come here to suffer this crime.
Finally, when everyone's questions came to an end, before Tang Yin had time to breathe a sigh of relief, a fat, rosy-faced middle-aged man walked up to Tang Yin with a wine pot and a wine glass, and said with a smile: "General Tang, I'd like to give you a drink!"
Li Xian hurriedly introduced: "General Tang, this is the deputy city lord of Wancheng, Zhang Yuan!"
"Oh, it's Mr. Zhang!" Tang Yin picked up the wine glass and drank with Zhang Yuan.
Zhang Yuan's toast kicked off, and then everyone gathered around and toasted to Tang Yin with smiles on their faces.
He had a good drinking capacity, but he couldn't stand so many people taking turns to toast. It didn't take long, and Tang Yin's face was already turning red.
Feeling that he was already drunk, Tang Yin stopped drinking. This time, no matter who tried to persuade him to drink, he would refuse.
This is a habit he has developed over the years. As a killer, his enemies may come to his door at any time, so he must keep his mind clear at all times. Being drunk is his limit. This habit has not changed because he came to another world.
Seeing that everyone ignored his refusal and kept toasting to him, Tang Yin felt upset for no reason. At the same time, he had a vague feeling in his heart that something was not going to happen.
He pulled Qiu Zhen and asked him to block him, while he took the opportunity to go out quickly on the pretext of going to the toilet.
