The innocent girl is always forgetful. She was scared to death by a snake in the snake cave of the Hundred Poison King just now and almost cried, but now she can play happily with the snake.
Hong Lian walked briskly in the shadow of the trees at night, humming a little tune in her mouth. Hong Lian moved forward with small steps with her hands behind her back. She didn't care at all that the skirt of the peach-colored gauze dress draped on her body was dragging on the ground and stained. dust.
And even though it was dark all around, she didn't show any fear.
The red-trained king snake wrapped around the snow-white goose neck is like the king of the jungle. The group of snakes clears the way for it and is wary of the surrounding wild beasts and birds of prey. This scene is somewhat spectacular.
"Hey, who is that? What's your name?"
Suddenly Honglian turned around and looked at Zhang Ji with a pair of peach blossom eyes that looked very similar to Han Fei's with a faint light.
"Don't think too much about it. You are my princess's savior after all. It would be rude not to even know your name."
"The Zhang family leader from Anyi met the beautiful and charming Princess Honglian."
Honglian was a little overwhelmed by Zhang Ji's words of praise. Even though she knew that Zhang Ji's words contained some deliberate elements, she still chose to do so.
After all, no woman doesn't like to be complimented on her appearance. Even mature beauties like the trendy banshee, Madam Hu, and Beauty Hu, who have long outgrown their vulgar tastes, will feel happy when Zhang Ji praises their beauty.
Not to mention women, even men are no exception.
What man doesn't like to hear other women say something like "You were great last night" to him? What man wouldn’t feel happy or even proud of it?
"Humph, you have good eyesight." Hong Lian, who was in a happy mood, arched her beautiful nose, raised her snow-white neck high, like a proud swan swimming in the lake, and hummed softly: "When I get back, I will praise you to my father. I will ensure that you will be promoted and make a fortune. The benefits will be great!"
Having been wandering in the rivers and lakes all year round, and having seen the infighting between people in Xinzheng, Zhang Ji actually became interested in Hong Lian, a silly and sweet person like him, so he joked: "It's not necessary to get promoted and make a fortune. Say, your ninth brother, Han Fei, promised me that as long as I rescue your princess intact, he will personally act as a matchmaker for me and your princess afterwards, so that I, Princess Shang, can become a Korean noble."
Hearing this, a blush appeared on Hong Lian's fair and pretty face, her mouth slightly opened, her face full of shame and anger.
"My ninth brother...how could he do this!"
The innocent Honglian believed it to be true. She really thought that her ninth brother Han Fei had betrothed her to Zhang Ji so that she could return home safely. She was a little at a loss for a moment.
In fact, Honglian herself knew that she had already reached the age of marriage. According to the rules of the royal families of various countries, princesses from various countries would get married when they were fifteen years old and hair-haired.
Princesses enjoy glory and wealth since childhood, but they don't know that they may have to pay for their happiness in the rest of their lives.
When they reach the age of hairpins, princesses from all over the world will get married, either to princes, princes, or lords of other countries, or to courtiers to win over people's hearts. There are very few people like Honglian who are still sixteen years old and are still unmarried.
That is to say, Han Wangan dotes on Honglian and is reluctant to part with his daughter, and Honglian's brothers have always doted on Honglian, allowing Honglian to refuse to marry due to his temper.
Honglian is a little unruly and ignorant of the sinister nature of people's hearts, but she is not a fool.
She also knew how hard-won her happy life was, and she also knew that sooner or later her father and brothers would marry her to other men.
However, the man in front of me.
"Well, she looks good and is a bit handsome, especially when she rushed in with her sword drawn... And she hugged me just now and held my hand... I really want to marry him... It's not impossible. …At least I’m not asked to marry some gray-haired old man or an old man with a big belly.”
Guren lowered his head and squirmed. Men are members of the Appearance Association, and so are women. What's more, an innocent girl like Guren naturally cares about the appearance of men.
In those dramas sung in theaters, there are often scenes of handsome men rescuing their beloved women from bullies. Hong Lian, who is inexperienced in the world, will naturally incorporate this into his own life, and also longs for such a handsome and heroic man. Protect your husband.
"No! You just said that Princess Shang can become a prince, and can also be promoted and make a fortune. Could it be that this is what your Princess Shang wants!"
The girl's mind was so clear that she forgot to dwell on the matter of being sold, and instead questioned Princess Zhang Jishang's purpose.
Zhang Ji smiled and looked at the cute girl with her hands on her waist, glaring at her fiercely, and said softly: "Of course not! These are just Princess Shang's accessories!"
"What's more important than being able to marry Princess Honglian! When I met Her Royal Highness the Princess today, I realized that what Brother Han Fei said was true. Her Royal Highness the Princess is indeed as beautiful as a fairy and astonishing as a human being. If I could marry such a beautiful person as Her Royal Highness, So why lose ten years of life!"
Zhang Ji's little honey-smeared mouth kept uttering words, coaxing the girl to cover her lips and chuckle.
And Zhang Ji did not lie. He could not see clearly in the dark stone room before. Walking on the path among the trees, with the bright moonlight falling on Hong Lian's delicate body, Zhang Ji suddenly felt that Hong Lian seemed to be there. It's indeed pretty.
That luxurious pink and white dress, with dark blue patterned lapels, and unknown petal patterns printed on the edges of the skirt corners. The whole person looks like a blooming red lotus, interpreting the red lotus by itself. The noble and pure language of flowers.
After laughing for a while, Honglian seemed to realize that laughing so proudly after being praised seemed to damage her image in Zhang Ji's eyes. She muttered and said coquettishly: "Humph, you are just a flattering guy. "
However, the uncontrollable smile in his eyes proved that these words were indeed effective, exposing the truth that Honglian was just pretending to be reserved.
At the north gate of Xinzheng, the gray-haired Wei Zhuang was wrapped in a black brocade robe embroidered with gold. He folded his hands and held the shark-tooth sword in his arms, looking at the purple figure with cold eyes.
Everyone in Liusha was waiting for Honglian's return at the north gate, but as the elder brother, Han Fei was full of anxiety.
He knew that Zhang Ji would be able to rescue Honglian, but whether Honglian would be bullied by Tianze and the others before being rescued, and whether he would be tortured for having a bad temper... Han Fei, who was dressed in a purple gown, was restless. He couldn't even stand still and was pacing back and forth. Wei Zhuang was getting a little irritated and was thinking about whether he should use the large comb in his hand to comb this guy's hair to calm him down.
Time passed moment by moment, and Han Fei finally saw the pretty pink and white figure that he had been talking about for a long time.
And Honglian also saw the haggard and handsome ninth brother Han Fei. When the brother and sister reunited, even Han Fei, who felt that his sister should avoid physical contact because she was older, couldn't help but hug Honglian into his arms in public. , describing his worries about Honglian’s safety during this period and his guilt for involving Honglian in danger.
However, Honglian didn't seem to care about this at all. Instead, she pointed at Zhang Ji with a shy look.
"Brother, you have such a good taste, and his mouth is so sweet."
Bang!
Han Fei looked at his shy sister in astonishment and Zhang Ji, who was rubbing the back of his head and looking at him sheepishly, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.
The big stone in his heart was not only put down by Zhang Ji, but he also picked up the stone and smashed his heart.
That is his most precious sister!
