452, Three Dragon Girls Saved (Please Order All)
In Lingxu Hall.
The clam girls filed in and placed plates of delicacies on the table made of sapphire. In the hall, there was also one more person.
This man was dressed in fish scale armor, with a square face and a tall build.
It was the Prince of Jinghe.
"My uncle sent an invitation to my nephew yesterday. He said he had something to discuss. I don't know why?"
Prince Jinghe picked up the wine glass, drank it all in one gulp, and asked anxiously.
He knew in his heart that the third daughter of Dongting Longjun was still imprisoned in Jingyang. Coming to Dongting for a banquet is no less than going to a tiger's den.
However, his expression was normal, and there was no abnormal look on his face.
"What a pity."
The Dongting Dragon Lord at the top of the hall said nothing, while Bai Gui, who was sitting opposite Prince Jinghe below, drank a glass of wine, glanced at Prince Jinghe, and sighed secretly.
He sighed several times in a row, which made Prince Jinghe present feel suspicious and alarm bells rang loudly in his heart.
"Could it be that things have failed?"
He swallowed, worried.
"You're a scholar, why do you keep sighing when you see this prince?"
Prince Jinghe couldn't help but ask.
"I lament that the prince is in trouble and doesn't realize it."
"I thought the prince was just a mediocre person, but he turned out to be very handsome. So it's a pity."
Bai Gui used jade chopsticks to take a bite of extremely fine shredded sea bass and tasted the sea bass with his tongue. It would be a pity not to taste the sea bass in Wudi Dongting, he said while eating.
"What's the trouble?"
Prince Jinghe had something in his mind. Hearing Bai Gui's words, he didn't dare to think about it carefully and asked questions quickly.
Bai Gui followed the original plan and said: "Jinghe River is no more than Xiaomai, and Lord Jingyang is your father's second son. How can you marry the noble daughter of Dongting? Does the prince know?"
"In the past, the Dragon King of Jinghe came to propose marriage and said that he would give up the throne to Lord Jingyang. The Lord of Xiaomai can match the Dragon Girl of Damai, so the king agreed to this marriage."
After that, he slowly picked up the dishes in front of him.
Prince Jinghe no longer wanted to drink and attend the banquet. He was so frightened that his face turned pale, "My brother asked you to hold a banquet to assassinate me? Is this the Hongmen Banquet?"
Killing gods indiscriminately will violate the laws of heaven. But he was just the prince of Jinghe, and he was not considered a god until he inherited the position of Dragon King of Jinghe.
Bai Gui and the Dragon King of Dongting remained silent and continued drinking.
What Prince Jinghe said was within their expectations.
If Jingyang Lord and Dongting Long Lord had never had a falling out, this kind of scene might actually happen. Not to mention killing Prince Jinghe, but simply imprisoning Prince Jinghe in the Dongting Dragon Palace for a period of time, the consequences were not something that Prince Jinghe could bear.
As for Prince Jinghe's refusal to attend the banquet?
That's impossible!
Because the Jinghe Prince represents the water veins of the Jinghe River, if the Jinghe Prince refuses to attend the banquet, he will not give face to the Dragon Lord of Dongting. Furthermore, the two families are now in-laws. Even if there is a gap between Jingyang Lord and Jinghe Prince, Jinghe's face must be taken into consideration.
"I have something to tell my uncle."
The Prince of Jinghe was so frightened that he hurriedly walked out of his seat, knelt in the palace, and said to the Dragon Lord of Dongting: "My uncle's beloved daughter has a gap with my brother, and she is now imprisoned in Jingyang..."
He told Dongting Longjun about this incident in a more aggravating manner. Not only to save his own life, but also to cut off Lord Jingyang's help.
"Is this happening?"
The Dragon Lord of Dongting narrowed his eyes slightly and looked furious.
"Please uncle, please calm down."
"My nephew will return to Jingyang right now, take his sister-in-law with him, and come to meet my uncle."
Prince Jinghe promised.
Now he doesn't care about the feelings of the Jinghe Dragon King, he wants to save his own life first. Furthermore, if the Dragon King of Jinghe wants to pass the throne to Lord Jingyang, he is being unkind and unjust to him. In his opinion, if it weren't for his words, this banquet might have turned into a life-threatening banquet for him.
In addition, regardless of whether the Jinghe Dragon King had said that, whether it was true or false, in short, it was a good reason for him to attack.
Take this opportunity to completely destroy the possibility of Lord Jingyang inheriting the throne...
Dongting Longjun and Bai Gui followed the plan. Before letting Prince Jinghe go, they asked Prince Jinghe to write a contract that required the three dragon girls to be returned to Dongting.
Once this contract is written, the Jinghe Prince will be completely cut off from the Jinghe Dragon King.
After all, leaking secrets to Dongting Longjun is not a small crime.
…
About a day passed.
Prince Jinghe took the three dragon girls to Dongting Lake with many scars.
"Mr. Jingyang does not respect benevolence and treats my beloved daughter harshly. I plan to tell the world that my daughter and Mr. Jingyang are reconciled. I wonder what my nephew thinks of this matter?"
Dongting Longjun stroked his beard and looked at Prince Jinghe.
Prince Jinghe was naturally overjoyed.
Once the news of the reconciliation between the Three Dragon Girls and Lord Jingyang spreads throughout the world, Lord Jingyang's prestige will definitely be greatly reduced. How can Lord Long, who was abandoned by Heli, have any prestige at all.
"My nephew is willing to testify about this matter."
Prince Jinghe said.
This time he took advantage of Lord Jingyang's unpreparedness to snatch away the three dragon girls, and he had already had a big battle with Lord Jingyang. Now the two brothers have completely become enemies. Xiu said that this matter was true, even if it was false, he was willing to go and testify.
Prince Jinghe sent the three dragon girls to the Dongting Dragon Palace. After getting the guarantee he wanted from the Dragon Lord of Dongting, he dragged his exhausted body back to Jinghe.
Wait until Prince Jinghe leaves.
Father and daughter meet, tears wet their eyes.
At the same time, the Dragon King of Dongting also told the Dragon Queen about this matter. The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried bitterly.
"Mother, my daughter will go back to the palace to dress up first."
The third dragon girl raised her eyes and looked at Bai Gui carefully, then said to the Dragon Queen.
Such a small matter, the Dragon Queen would not refuse.
The palace maid took the third dragon girl out of Lingxu Palace and went to the back garden.
"Bai Sheng, you have delivered a letter thousands of miles away this time, and you have saved my beloved daughter with a trick. Your merits are very high. I wonder what reward you want? Don't mention gold, silver, jewelry, etc. These things are regarded as chaff in the Dragon Palace."
"As for fame and fortune, with your knowledge, the imperial examination is probably as easy as taking something out of your bag, so there is no need to say more."
The Dragon Queen is a beautiful woman with a charming look. At this time, she looked at Bai Gui with a kind face and smiled.
She just saw the different expressions of the third dragon girl when she looked at Bai Gui. She, who has been through a lot of things in the world, can see that the third dragon girl has taken a fancy to Bai Gui.
But it is not good to directly propose marriage.
"This..."
Bai Gui was stunned.
Not to mention gold, silver, jewelry, fame, and fortune, the reward must involve the things of the immortals. And if you ask for one of the things of the immortals, the other things will definitely be missing.
If you want the law, you will lack money and land. Conversely, if you want other things, you will also lack them.
It is impossible to ask for money, friends, law, and land at the same time, which would be too greedy.
He only thought about how to show favor, but did not think much about how to ask for rewards.
"The gift from the Dragon Palace must be generous. I am not talented. All I have seen are turbid worldly things. My knowledge is limited. I would like to think about it for a long time before speaking. Please don't blame the Dragon Queen."
Bai Gui bowed and evaded.
Since the three dragon girls have already had feelings for him, then the four things of money, friends, law, and land will come naturally. He is not considering this reward for the moment, for a greater reward in the future.
A little money and profit is not worth his effort.
The Dragon King and the Dragon Queen of Dongting smiled and nodded in agreement.
As a mortal, even if he wants more treasures, what can he ask for? This little thing is just a drop in the ocean for the dragon clan.
Not long after.
A well-dressed and elegant lady came out from the pearl curtain, wearing a thin emerald gauze, with shoulders as sharp as a knife and waist as thin as a waist. She wore a light green long skirt, with a few auspicious clouds drawn by silver threads, and a wide piece of light yellow brocade wrapped around her chest, which was graceful and graceful.
"I have met Mr. Bai."
"Thank you Mr. Bai for your help this time."
The three dragon girls bowed to Bai Guiyingying.
A pleasant fragrance came towards her.
The charming charm of a young woman is much more beautiful than that of a young girl. It is as beautiful as a flower blooming in the morning light. A slight poke will reveal the condensed beads.
"Please stand up, please stand up..."
"Miss San, there is no need to be so polite."
Bai Gui took a half step back and said with a false support.
