To Hold One’s Joy

  Chapter 40 Confrontation

  She heard Hongdou say that King Kaiyang alone can be a thousand soldiers; she heard Hongdou said that King Kaiyang was so highly regarded by the emperor that even the prince would bow his head when he saw him; she heard Hongdou said that King Kaiyang was cold by nature and didn't like to deal with people.

  But she didn't hear Hong Dou say that King Kaiyang is so thick-skinned!

   It's just a matter of shame, Miss Luo is not inferior to anyone, and the same is true of Princess Qingyang.

  Luo Sheng was silent for a moment, and curled his lips: "It is said that the prince is very skilled in martial arts and has few opponents. I wonder if it is true?"

   Wei Han frowned, momentarily puzzled what Luo Sheng meant by asking this question.

  The guard beside him couldn't help but said, "Of course."

  Who doesn't know the prestige of their lord?

  Luo Sheng smiled: "Then why did the lord let me, a woman who can only flaunt her fists and embroidered legs, tear off my belt? Could it be that the lord secretly admires me?"

  As soon as these words were said, the scene suddenly fell into a strange silence, and everyone watched Wei Han's reaction intently.

   Wei Han was silent for a longer time this time, feeling a little annoyed in his heart.

  He shouldn't be fussing with a girl, but it's rare to see a girl as eloquent and thick-skinned as Miss Luo.

  Luo Sheng saw the sullenness in Wei Han's eyes, and his tone became even colder: "Could it be that my lord has become angry from embarrassment?"

   Wei Han smiled.

  The crimson clothes made his brows and eyes darker, and his complexion whiter. This smile was cool, shallow and stunning.

  Stunning shouldn't be used on a man, but at this time it is used to describe Wei Han's smile, and anyone will think it is appropriate.

   "So that Miss Luo knows that if I admire someone, I will never become angry."

Such a blatant denial, if it was another woman, she would have covered her face and gone away, but Luo Sheng's expression remained unchanged and the corners of his lips curled up: "Then I don't understand. Since the prince has no intentions for me, why does he always come close to me? I know that girls like to think wildly, if the prince doesn't want me to have such a misunderstanding in the future, please respect yourself!"

   Luo Sheng emphasized the last four words.

   It is not easy for King Kaiyang to appear in the abandoned Zhennan Palace. She must check it out, but it is not a mess now.

  Her priority now is to return to the capital safely.

"It was indeed my negligence that caused Miss Luo to have such a misunderstanding." Wei Han's tone did not fluctuate at all when he said this, but he just watched Luo Sheng's eyes become darker, "In fact, I have taken a fancy to Miss Luo's dagger, I wonder if Miss Luo can part with her?"

  The word "dagger" made Luo Sheng's heart skip a beat.

  She doesn't believe a word of this man's nonsense.

   What kind of person is King Kaiyang, who would be rare for a gaudy dagger?

  He's testing her!

  Luo Sheng looked at the man in scarlet clothes and felt chills in his heart.

  That night she took a stone and hit King Kaiyang on the head, thinking that he had knocked him unconscious, but unexpectedly he opened his eyes.

  She sprinkled the chili powder almost instantly, but this person not only became suspicious of her who was wearing a veil, but also remembered the dagger she was holding in her hand at that time.

  He might have recognized her when he met her at the tea stand, and he saw her holding a dagger against the young bandit just now, and he recognized the dagger in her hand.

  Is this man really a human?

  Luo Sheng's fear of Wei Han increased, and he became more determined to stay away from this person for the time being.

  Luo Sheng reached into his bosom and took out the dagger that had just made great achievements, and presented it to Wei Han generously: "A dagger is not a cut-off, the prince can take it if he likes it, but I don't know what the prince will exchange it for?"

  Luo Sheng's move obviously surprised Wei Han, and caused a slight change in his indifferent expression.

  Luo Sheng saw it, and sneered in his heart: Do you think she will be guilty of guilt and hold on to a dagger?

  She presented the dagger as the other party wished, but she wanted to see what other reason the other party could come up with.

   Realizing that Wei Han probably recognized him, Luo Sheng calmed down instead.

  It was a dark night, she didn't report her family name, and there was no name engraved on the dagger, so what if she killed her and refused to admit the other party?

  Kaiyang's throne is high and powerful, and Miss Luo's father is equally powerful. King Kaiyang can't take her away to torture her.

  At this moment, Luo Sheng couldn't help but rejoice that she was reborn as the daughter of Governor Luo, so that she would not be passive everywhere.

   Wei Han stared at the jewel-encrusted dagger for a long time, and took it with the girl's mocking smile.

  At this moment, he finally realized that the girl in front of him was not that simple, at least it was much more difficult than when he tore off his belt on the streets of the capital.

  At that time, he only thought that this was a shameless and lawless woman. After the anger, he didn't even care about it, it wasn't worth it.

  Governor Luo sent his daughter out of the capital and came to the door to make amends, but there was no disturbance in his heart.

  But the girl in front of him gave him a completely different feeling.

  She is cold, calm, and witty.

  The glimpse that night, those star-like eyes left a deep impression on him. Even though he didn't see the woman's appearance, he remembered those eyes, and he was sure that the girl in front of him was its owner.

  He is confident that he didn't admit his mistake, but at this time he, who should have taken the initiative to control the situation, can't get out of it.

   This damned dagger is studded with gems, obviously worth a lot, and he didn't have that much money with him!

  How did it turn out that he needed to pay for the dagger?

   Wei Han fell into deep thought.

  Looks like he initiated it—

  Luo Sheng didn't allow Wei Han to think about it anymore, and said lightly: "It's an honor for this dagger to be favored by the prince. Then I won't charge more, and the prince will just give three thousand taels of silver."

   "Cough, cough—" The guard next to Wei Han coughed violently, looking at his master with worried eyes.

  Master doesn’t even have three hundred taels of silver on him!

   Thinking about how embarrassing it would be to make your master hate bargaining, the guard cleared his throat and prepared to help, when the little maid next to Miss Luo curled her lips and said, "Three thousand taels? Miss, you are half selling the dagger and half giving it away!"

  The little guard immediately shut up.

   Come on, people are half selling and half giving away, what else did he say? He is also a person who wants face.

"Don't talk too much." Luo Sheng glanced at Hongdou, then smiled slightly at Wei Han, "My lord, don't feel embarrassed, as I said, it's an honor for this dagger to be favored by your lord, it doesn't matter how much money you have. "

Wei Han looked at those smiling eyes, and finally sighed softly: "Miss Luo is right, money is nothing to you and me, and it is my fault to buy this dagger with gold and silver. How about it, In the future, I can help Miss Luo with something within my ability, what do Miss Luo think of this deal?"

Luo Sheng stared at Wei Han for a long time, and his smile deepened: "My lord has the power to pull mountains and surpass seas, so I've earned it by exchanging a dagger for my lord to do something for me. Then I'll thank you first, and I'll wait until later." If necessary, please ask the prince to help."

   Unexpectedly, the famous King Kaiyang was short of money.

  Recently, I have seen many readers feel strange that the emperor’s adoptive clan son should be his son instead of passing the throne to his younger brother. To be honest, I didn’t expect that this almost common sense setting would cause objections. In most ancient dynasties, it was the most normal choice for a childless adoptive brother or a child of the same clan to inherit the incense. The adopted son was the same as the biological son in terms of law. Isn't it too strange to give the property (including the throne) directly to the brother instead of adopting? In the future, the descendants of the brothers will worship the brothers, so it has nothing to do with me. I hope you can look at it in the background.
