Dali Temple has his Lord Luo

Chapter 41
Qin Zhaozheng and Cui You put down the scoreboard in the competition field and saw Luo Ning looking over in the crowd.

He strode over and asked in a low voice: "Are you looking for me?"

Luo Ning nodded: "I have an idea, but I need your help, and we need to stay here for one night, okay?"

When Qin Zhao heard this, he was happy: "We? Stay one night?"

Only then did Luo Ning realize the slip of the tongue, she rolled her eyes at him, her face turned red, and she turned away angrily:
"Ignore you!"

"Hey, hey, Luo Ning, you're kidding, don't be angry."

When Qin Zhao saw Luo Ning leaving, he hurriedly chased after him and coaxed him.

When Qin Zhao went to Zhao Xuan and told Luo Ning's request, how could Zhao Xuan disagree? He wanted nothing more than to find the letter as soon as possible!
The martial arts competition was not over until Chen Shi. Qin Zhao tried his best to use all his eighteen martial arts skills for his Master Luo, and challenged the young masters one by one for the first time.

The others were no match for Qin Zhao, but due to the enthusiasm of the Jin Yiwei commander, they couldn't leave early and they all accompanied him silently.

In the end, several young men yawned frequently and barely smiled.

The ladies were very interested at first, shouting and cheering, but then they felt bored and returned home one after another.

Qin Zhao stayed up until the curfew time and suddenly realized that the time had passed. He apologetically discussed with Xiang He that he might as well stay in the guest room for one night.

Of course Xianghe was happy and started preparing for the midnight snack, especially the prince Zhao Xuan did not leave.

The remaining gentlemen saw what Xiang He meant, and the other ladies also took Xiang He's hint and shied away from taking a rest, so they all left wisely.

In the end, Zhao Xuan, Cui You, Qin Zhao and Luo Ning were left.

Xianghe set up tables and chairs in the pavilion, and the maids and servants brought fruits and snacks. Accompanied by the falling moonlight, it was a unique mood.

Xianghe felt that it was not enough, so she ordered the maid to bring some freshly brewed osmanthus wine, and opened the cork. The aroma of the wine hit her nostrils, and even Luo Ning found the moonlight alluring.

After drinking the maids and boys away, everyone saw that Xianghe had ulterior motives. Xianghe sat next to Luo Ning, followed by the prince, Cui You, and Qin Zhao.

Xianghe first picked up the wine glass and said to Zhao Xuan beside him:

"Your Highness, it's rare for us to have a drink together under the moonlight. As your Zhao country has a saying, we gather together when we are awake and disperse when we are drunk. Today, let's drink this glass of wine."

Zhao Xuan didn't know what he meant. Is this the rhythm of separation?
Without thinking too much during the hesitation, he also picked up the wine glass and said, "Today, with the help of Miss Xianghe's wine, I wish the girl to find the one she loves as soon as possible."

Luo Ning held his forehead, Zhao Xuan really didn't like to pick up the pot, and he could clearly see the flash of loneliness in Xianghe's eyes.

Qin Zhao and Cui You also raised their wine glasses. Luo Ning didn't know how to drink, so he raised his glass to indicate that the moment Qin Zhao put down his glass, he poured all the wine into his glass.

Pretend nothing happened.

Qin Zhao laughed dumbly.

Xianghe put down the wine glass and looked at the night: "How about we play a game."

"Oh? Miss Xianghe, what suggestion do you have?" Cui You became interested.

"How about each of us ask an emotional question, designate the person to answer it, and draw lots to determine the order?"

After Xianghe finished speaking, he ordered the boy outside the pavilion to get pen and ink.

Qin Zhao looked at Luo Ning with a smile and had an idea. The prince glanced at Xiang He and also had a question.

Luo Ning thought about what he wanted to ask and nodded in agreement with Xiang He's proposal.

Cui You looked at this and then that, weighing who he could ask questions.

Several people wrote on the paper. Xianghe was the first to draw lots, and it was the note written by Qin Zhao.

Qin Zhao asked Luo Ning: What is the one thing that Qin Zhao wants to do most right now?
Luo Ning covered his face, should he confess so directly?You will be embarrassed, okay?
Now everyone in Anyang City knows that they are in love, but what do they want to do most?
"I heard that the Zhaixing Tower is the tallest tower in Anyang City. I hope Master Qin can take me to the top one day. I want to see the prosperity of Anyang City!"

"That's right, we're going to take the latest rest!"

Luo Ning drew lots next, and it was a note from the prince.

The prince asked Xianghe: "If something unpleasant happens one day, will Xianghe hate me?"

Xianghe glanced at Zhao Xuan:
"We will regret and regret. If we were strangers when we met for the first time, we would not be unwilling or unwilling to let go, nor would we see the scars. The best encounter between you and me is to miss it."

Xianghe's tongue twister made Qin Zhao confuse, saying that he didn't understand, but his Master Luo is better, with simple and straightforward feelings!
Cui You also listened in a daze and kept talking about everything.

Zhao Xuan understood: Xianghe regretted getting to know him, and even thought, how much better it would have been if she didn't know him at first. Is this her?Are you taking care of yourself?
It was the prince's turn, and what he drew was Luo Ning's note.

Luo Ning asked Xianghe: "If you can't get love, will you retreat?"

Xianghe looked at Luo Ning very meaningfully:

"meeting!"

It was Qin Zhao's turn to draw lots, and he drew Xianghe.

Xianghe asked Zhao Xuan: "What is the most impressive thing between us?"

The prince looked gentle:

"The first time we met, we were competing in martial arts. Xianghe challenged me and actually cut off a corner of my shirt. At that time, Xianghe was as heroic as an elf who had fallen into the mortal world."

After drinking a jar of sweet-scented osmanthus wine, it was already midnight and everyone dispersed. The fragrant lotus was too drunk and was helped back to the harem by the maid.

Luo Ning and Qin Zhao both lived in the side hall, with the men on the east side and the women on the west side. Because it was just one night, everyone slept in their clothes.

Luo Ning nodded to Qin Zhao and wanted to enter the west hall. Qin Zhao held her back and reluctantly said:

"Lord Luo, if you beg me, what good will I gain?"

Luo Ning was speechless. Is the man in front of him who wants to benefit from that arrogant Commander?

"As for you, whether you do it or not do it, what are the benefits? Absolutely none."

After Luo Ning finished speaking, he turned around and left, closing the west hall door.

Qin Zhao giggled:

"Cruel-hearted woman!"

As he spoke, he shook his head and entered the east hall.

An hour later, Luo Ning and Qin Zhao came out at the same time.

"Ready!" Qin Zhao handed a package of things to Luo Ning: "Pay attention to safety!"

Luo Ning nodded, Qin Zhao turned to the room and disappeared into the night.

Luo Ning remembered the location of Xianghe's dormitory. It was full moon tonight, and he soon arrived at the door of the dormitory.

This is a square main hall. In the early period of Mu Wangfu, this place should also be the sleeping palace. While thinking about it, Zhao Xuan rushed over:

"I'm late? I almost overslept."

"It's not too late, I just arrived too."

After speaking, he handed the things to Zhao Xuan:

"After a while we throw something in and shout together, remember?"

Zhao Xuan nodded fiercely: "Will it be useful?"

"Try it. Even if it fails, Xianghe will not make the letter public. Don't worry!"

"What? No? Then why does she...does it...do she really want to be the crown princess? What should we do?"

Hearing Zhao Xuan's words, Luo Ning didn't say a word:

"Let's go, remember to move quickly."

The two people came to the side of the palace, found a corner, lit the oil paper and threw it into the middle of the yard, shouting:

"Go away, go out..."

Screams pierced the dark night, and suddenly many doors opened and people ran out in a panic.

Seeing a fire in the yard, they all ran to the kitchen to get water. The door to the main hall suddenly opened, and Xianghe ran out with disheveled hair supported by the maid.

I saw thick smoke billowing from the yard. Xiang He was holding a jewelry box in her hand. She couldn't tell the difference between east, west and north. Then she heard someone shouting that she had escaped.

Suddenly, a man in black appeared in front of him. Before Xianghe could scream, the things in his hands disappeared.

After Xianghe and the maid came to their senses, the boy in the yard came over and reported: "Miss, there is no fire, just some oil paper burning in the yard!"

Xiang He was devastated and frightened. After hearing the boy's report and looking at the missing thing in his hand, he suddenly realized.

Luo Ning and Zhao Xuan left amidst the hustle and bustle of everyone in the main hall.

Returning to the side hall, Zhao Xuan saw Mr. Qin wearing night clothes and standing tall, like a life-saving Bodhisattva.

"How is it? Is there any?" Zhao Xuan said eagerly.

Qin Zhao opened the jewelry box, and at the bottom was the letter that worried Zhao Xuan.

Zhao Xuan took it out, put it in his arms, and grinned at Luo Ning: "Finally, I can sleep soundly."

Luo Ning got up together with the ladies staying overnight, and was about to say goodbye to Xiang He when the housekeeper from the official residence hurried over:

"Who is Mr. Luo?"

Luo Ning walked over and the housekeeper handed over a letter:

"Master Luo, this is a letter written by Princess Xianghe of Nanzhao to you."

Luo Ning took it: "She?"

The steward replied respectfully: "Last night, there was water in the main hall, and Princess Xianghe packed her things all night. When the city gate opened this morning, she had already left Anyang City!"

The prince happened to come over, and his heart ached:
"she left?"

Luo Ning took the letter and opened it. The neat regular script was actually written by Zhao Guo:
Hello Lord Luo, when you read this letter, I guess I have already left Anyang City. I like the State of Zhao very much, and I like the people of the State of Zhao even more. Unfortunately, as you said, love cannot be achieved.

You are too smart to know that when people are in danger, they will subconsciously protect their most cherished things, and you are right.

I ran out in a panic, and when I discovered that there was no escape at all, the jewelry box in my arms was suddenly snatched away by the man in black.

Only then did I realize that it must have been you who came up with a way to preserve my self-esteem and make Zhao Xuan feel relieved. Maybe this ending is a happy one for everyone.

Actually, you are worried. I never thought about making the letter public. Those are the memories of Zhao Xuan and I.

Although Zhao Xuan's letter was written under my suggestion, I still feel very happy every time I read it.

That letter accompanied me, and the city of Anyang became beautiful.

It's a pity that Zhao Xuan doesn't understand me and looks down on me.

Now, under his plunder, even the only memory has drifted away.

But it doesn’t matter if I don’t see or think about it, I don’t want to think about it. This time when I return to Nanzhao, I have to search for my own feelings. Only when I saw Mr. Luo and Mr. Qin did I know what love looks like:
achieve each other
That box of jewelry is my favorite, give them all to Mr. Luo, I hope you will still remember me!

Luo Ning handed the letter to Zhao Xuan and looked up at the blue sky.

Every woman in love is brave and determined, and I only hope that every little fairy can reap her own warm happiness.

That box of jewelry has been placed on Luoning's bookshelf in Dali Temple, reminding her of the beautiful girl named Xianghe from Nanzhao Kingdom.

The various tastes in it make people's hearts turn over and over again.
