Chapter 179
Nangong Qian sized up Shang Wuxin, for the first time he threw away his man identity and looked at Shang Wuxin as a woman, only realizing how foolish he was in the past. The woman who sat there had fair skin, snow-white skin, bright eyes, and a hint of toughness. Her eyes were like clear water, clear and bright, and her lips were pinkish white. If he had thought about it too much, he would have been able to see how such an exquisite and beautiful face could be that of a man’s.
Shang was not in the mood to put down the paper. She knew that some people could not avoid this.
“Meet you? Nangong’s words make me puzzled. Could it be that this matter is not a trap set up by Nangong to lure me here? ” Shang was not in the mood to look at Nangong Qian who was slowly approaching him, “It is my honor to let Nangong create such a big trap for me to lure myself into the palace!”
Nangong Qian was dressed in a luxurious purple robe with a jade crown on his head and a jade belt around his waist. He was handsome like jade, standing tall and straight, with a magnificent appearance, quietly standing by Shang Wuxin’s side.
Nangong Qian stretched out his hand to caress Shang Wuxin’s face, placing a kiss on Shang Wuxin’s cheek before sighing and sitting beside him.
“I knew I couldn’t hide it from you. No matter how big the plot is, I still want to go all out to test how important I am to you. Unfortunately … I arranged such a situation to confine myself to the palace, but it’s still inferior to a war! ” Although he was disappointed, Nangong Qian was Nangong Qian. The fire in his eyes did not reduce by half.
Shang was not in the mood to deny it. Nine out of ten of the reasons for coming to Nangong Country this time was because of his selfishness. One of them was because he truly cared about Nangong Qian. Even though Nangong Qian had used his own plan, Shang Tong was not angry because this plan did not harm him at all.
“You should know that we are connected by benefits. You should also understand my intention for coming to the Nangong Country. You should also understand why I am involved in this matter!” For smart people, for men like Nangong Qian, Shang was not in the mood to be straightforward, because any form of concealment would not escape the pair of phoenix eyes.
Nan Gong Qian nodded, even though his heart was extremely restless, he didn’t reveal it on the surface. Even though he yearned to hug Shang Wuxin tightly in his arms, pressing her down to punish her for her heartlessness, Nangong Qian was waiting patiently like a hunter waiting for a trap.
“What is the situation in the State of Shang now?” Although he had always been paying attention to matters that Shang had no intentions, it was inevitable that he did not pay too much attention to the matters of the State of Shang.
Shang didn’t have the heart to pour Nangong Qian a cup of water, “Fortunately, there are still some Luo Feng has yet to finish, but right now, there is no time to finish them. I can only wait until I return from Qing Nation to settle this, but there is Huan Mo Che in the imperial court, I am still more at ease, if I have to do everything personally, it would be too tiring! ” The two men of the same height talked seriously about business.
“Huan Mo Che is a rare scholar, and the Prime Minister is the best position. Although I really don’t want to admit it, if he can keep Shang Shang Shang Kingdom’s court safe, don’t forget that Huan Mo Che entered the palace not long ago. Even if he has the support of the world, he still has to be cautious!” Nangong Qian analyzed, for him to be able to climb to his current position required not only hard work but plans as well, so it looked much more accurate.
Shang inadvertently nodded his head, no longer continuing this topic. Shang didn’t want to get involved with Nangong Qian too much, this way he wouldn’t be able to get away from it.
Seeing Shang Bin’s somewhat guarded appearance, Nangong Qian did not force him. If it was before, he would have wanted to beat this rascal up, but now that he knew this rascal was a girl, even if he was pampered, he could only swallow his anger down to his heart.
“Let’s go to my residence? Right now, Nangong Country is not safe! ” Nangong Qian invited him, “Also, about the matter of you coming here, I think we still need to discuss it!”
Shang Wuxin nodded. Just as the two of them left the room, they saw Nangong Lian walk out from the other room. She was still wearing her veil and seeing Nangong Qian’s obvious surprise, she instantly heaved a sigh of relief.
In these past few days, even though Nangong Lian was in Shang Yue Country, she was still very worried about the matters of Nangong Country. She was even very concerned about her royal brother. Although she really wanted to help her royal brother, she was heartlessly rejected. She knew that to her royal brother, she was perhaps a burden.
Nangong Qian looked at his little sister and smiled. He could tell that his little sister was doing very well in the country of Shang. Nangong Qian had to thank Shang for this, regardless of how innocent their little sister was.
Nangong Lian came to Nangong Qian’s side and smiled, “Royal brother, can I give you a surprise? It will definitely give you a fright, it definitely will! ” After Nangong Lian said this, she took off her veil. Immediately, her flawless white face was revealed. Although she wasn’t that devastatingly beautiful, she was still a rare beauty.
Nangong Qian was stunned, then he revealed a relieved smile. Although he did not show it, the scar on his little sister’s face was a very sad thing for Nangong Qian because he did not have the ability to protect the people around him. He had tried many times to cure his little sister’s face but to no avail.
“Xin Er, thank you!” Nangong Qian looked at Shang Wuxin beside him and thanked him sincerely. Not mentioning the relationship between the two, not mentioning his feelings for Shang Wuxin, Nangong Qian was just thanking him for this matter. Moreover, Shang Wuxin had saved Nangong Lian before, so Nangong Qian felt that they were destined to be entangled with each other for life.
Shang Wuxin sneered, “I hope the price you have to pay can bear the cost of this thank you!” Even though it was disheartening to talk about benefits at a time like this, Shang Wuxin was somewhat anxious. After all, Leng Yufeng’s letter was already in his possession, and the soldiers were all waiting for him to return to the camp.
Currently, Nangong Qian had already stabilized the court of Nangong Country. Moreover, Nangong Huang was unconscious, and not only was Nangong Qing severely injured, Nangong Qian was also the Nangong Emperor in front of everyone’s eyes.
After entering the palace, Nangong Qian knew that there were some urgent matters. Right now, it was not like he was talking about matters of the heart to bring Shang Tong into the study room.
“I haven’t congratulated you yet. It looks like it won’t be long before I change my words. There’s the word ’emperor’ added after the ‘Nangong’!” Shang did not feel the need for Nangong Qian to ascend to the throne. Since he could not come to congratulate him, he decided to inform him in advance.
Nangong Qian smiled, “Maybe …” As he thought of this, he stopped talking and changed the topic, “I still like it when you call me Nangong. As for the Emperor Nangong, I’m afraid I won’t have the chance!”
Shang Tong was curious, but he did not pursue the matter. Everyone had their own path to take, and she did not wish to interfere.
“Where do you want the army of Shang to leave from?” Nangong Qian took out the Nangong Country’s detailed map, which surprised Shang Wuxin. It had to be known that each country had their own country’s most detailed map. This was for management and protection, but Nangong Qian had placed the map in front of his eyes.
Noticing Shang’s unintentional surprise, Nangong Qian declined to comment, “You are my woman, so what if I give you my life, let alone this map?” Nangong Qian’s words were extremely domineering and he had an air of arrogance.
“Nangong …”
“I know what you are thinking, and I understand that if I have to accept other men, I will care, so give me time. Let’s see whether I conquer you or if you return to my arms! ” Nangong Qian directly held Shang Wuxin like a child and sat on his lap, saying in dissatisfaction, “I used to know that you are thin, but now you look too thin. I don’t know if your body on the battlefield will be able to eat or not!”
Shang Tong struggled a few times, but Nangong Qian’s strength was not weak at all. While Shang Xin continued to struggle, Nangong Qian actually reached out and patted his butt. Although Nangong Qian didn’t use any strength, symbolically punishing him like a child, it still made Shang Xin lose face.
For the first time, Shang Wuxin’s face had a tinge of red to it as she grabbed onto Nangong Qian’s hair.
“Hiss!” His scalp hurt, but Nangong Qian didn’t let him go. He didn’t do anything like he did just now, he just hugged Shang Bin and knocked his chin on Shang Bin’s soft head. “Why are you so ignorant?” This is breaking my heart! ” His words seemed to be filled with helplessness and heartache towards a disobedient child.
“I want to walk this path!” Shang Tong was not in the mood to sit on Nangong Qian’s thigh. Although the muscles on Nangong Qian’s thigh were somewhat creepy, but it was very comfortable to lean on his chest. Shang Tong was not shy in the slightest, after all, the intimate relationship between the two of them did not need to be forced into such a small matter. However, if Shang was not in the mood to ponder deeply, he would know how different he was. With her personality, she would not care even if she had relationships with others. However, no matter how uncaring Nangong Qian was, it was still different.
“Although this road is not too far away from the Qing Dynasty, there are no ordinary people. Furthermore, the distance between this road and Qingguo Country is very short!” Shang Wuxin did not say that if Nangong Qian tried his best to suppress them, perhaps the army of Shang Gong would be suppressed as well. After all, Nangong Qian could take over Nangong Country, so if something like this happened, it would still affect Nangong Qian’s reputation.
Nangong Qian looked at the map with his pure white fingers, this road was indeed the best path, but he pointed at another road, “From here you will be faster, we can also attack Qing Country as soon as possible!”
Both of them were intelligent people, Nangong Qian obviously knew that Shang did not intend to choose the other path, but even so, Nangong Qian did not say it out loud. This was because at this moment, there were still many people standing between them, and most importantly, there were other men.
Shang didn’t have the heart to look at this path. If he had walked this path, he would have been able to imagine that Nangong Qian was facing criticism from the court officials of the State of Nangong.
“Alright!” Shang was not in the mood to refuse, because, in terms of benefits, only at this moment could the soldiers of the State of Lu Shang approach the Qing Empire as quickly as possible. The battlefield was a race against time, almost losing her life. Shang’s indifference to the lives of others did not mean that she would turn a blind eye to her own life.
After the two discussed for a while, Nangong Qian carried Shang by the arm and returned to his own bedroom. After placing Shang Wuxin on his bed, Nangong Qian locked him up by his side. “Sleep!” The deep voice carried a trace of an overbearing command and a bit of a pamper.
Shang didn’t intend to reject the invitation, but seeing the current Wu Qing, he knew that these few days in the Imperial Palace, Nangong Qian didn’t even have a chance to rest. How could a cautious person like Nangong Qian fall asleep in such an environment?
Shang Wuxin initially wanted to lie down beside Nangong Qian, but after a while, he fell asleep and let out a regular breath. On the other hand, Nan Gong Qian who was lying beside her suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the face that she loved so dearly, a bottle of medicine suddenly appeared in his hand.
Nangong Qian’s expression turned complicated, the bottle in his hand was held tightly by Nangong Qian. Nangong Qian’s face was full of anxiety and struggle as he slowly opened the bottle in his hand and approached Shang Tong. However, at the last moment, he still threw the bottle out of the hall.
Unable to do it, Nangong Qian held onto Shang Wuxin and felt distressed. He had never hesitated to make a move against anyone before, but now, he was truly unable to do so. This man was naturally born to soar, how could he break her wings? He could not bear to do so.
“Sigh!” Nangong Qian stretched out his hand, wanting to touch the girl in his embrace, but when he saw Shang Wuxin’s innocent sleeping face, he couldn’t help but take action. After that, he closed his eyes and did not think about it anymore. Since he could not harden his heart to trap her, then he might as well protect her.
What Nangong Qian did not know was that the hand he was hugging under the blanket was holding the dagger that he had given him. If Nangong Qian had really done something just now, this dagger would have stabbed into his chest.
