591 Husband and Wife (1/2)

Luo Ningcha was scared out of her wits. Ever since she had gotten married, she had suffered many setbacks and hardships, but this was the first time she had been physically threatened. She had always thought that she was enshrouded in a mysterious aura that insulated her from physical pain such as kidnapping, torture, and injury.

There was no lack of torture scenes in her memory. With a simple dream, she could feel herself being tortured, which made her jumpy and even lose some confidence in her own charm.

Therefore, there was no wonder that she trembled and was determined to confess everything at the sight of King Kuari, and that she would only side with the strong and was willing to offer everything for it.

But would King Kuari accept her? Luo Ningcha felt quite uneasy about it. Not all men would voluntarily submit to her, as Shangguan Yun was such an example. When he had picked up his sister-in-law as the third young master of Golden Roc Castle and handed her over to the guards of King Kuari, he didn't appear reluctant at all.

Luo Ningcha quickly passed through the stage of self-pity which was foreign and not worth her nostalgia, and started cursing everyone, from the Unique King and the Second Consort to the Dragon King and Shangguan Yun. Her swearing didn't ease her panic but it did make her feel better.

”Calm down,” she said to herself. ”What would Servant Huan do in this situation? The first thing is to calm down. Even in the Norland, I'm a beautiful woman. I can feel it from the guards' eyes. But why does Shangguan Yun seem indifferent? It must be because I didn't bother to flirt with him. King Kuari is bound to fall in love with me because I'll use all my tricks on him.”

Luo Ningcha gradually recovered her confidence. She leaned on the soft couch and assumed a panic-stricken but coy posture. She had learned it from Xu Yanwei and only used a few times in front of the Unique King. It had turned out very effective.

”Call a guard in.”

She needed a trial target.

Those three maids standing at the door wished that they could merge into the tent. They were just venting tools for the young lady. Ever since the Miss had been put under house arrest, they had been punished to varying degrees. Seeing that she had changed her attitude, they were both surprised and relieved.

Maid Yi rushed to fulfill the order, quickly lifting the curtain and stepping out, as if she was trying to stay as far away from the young lady as she could.

She did not come back for a long time. Luo Ningcha's anger rose and her cute expression almost collapsed. ”Why does it take so long to call someone? Did she leave her feet behind or forget where her mouth is?”

A man came in from outside.

Luo Ningcha immediately lowered her head and said in her tender and pitiful voice, ”Someone help me please…”

The man came up to her with almost silent footsteps, but when Luo Ningcha saw the man's steady and confident gait from the side view, she judged that he was by no means an ordinary guard.

he raised her head, and it took her a while to recognize that it was her husband.

”How come it's you?” Luo Ningcha bounced up and returned to her original voice, which was full of surprise and disdain. Although she had heard long ago that Shangguan Nu was also in the Royal Court, she had never thought that the two would meet again.

”When did you turn from a bandit's daughter to a whore?” Shangguan Nu looked at her with no warmth in his eyes.

Shangguan Nu was forced to save his wife.

He had been betrayed by Wei Song, the Governor of the Western Regions, and became one of the bribes to buy over the Dragon King. So he had no choice but to choose betrayal again.

Shangguan Nu's original plan was to take refuge with King Dari or King Kuari but he ran into King Rizhu's army as soon as he entered the prairie. And he changed his mind after exchanging a few words with the lord and decided to pledge allegiance to King Rizhu.

His stay in the Norland was no better than that in the Central Plains. At least he had a period of a honeymoon with the latter. Under King Rizhu, however, he was almost immediately thrust into disfavor, though he had one repeated consolation. ”It's not yet time. You will have the chance to make a great contribution soon.”

Shangguan Nu patiently waited for the day and didn't expect that the first task he would receive from King Rizhu was to take back his wife Luo Ningcha.

Outside the tent, King Rizhu's subordinates were confronting King Kuari's guards face to face. Liman and Wild Horse were standing by watching.

Liman suddenly chuckled inappropriately and turned to Wild Horse, ”Have you noticed that it should be the Dragon King working for King Rizhu but every time it is the two of us performing the task? Not only does the Dragon King avoid suffering a loss but he also reaps all the advantages.”

Wild Horse couldn't speak and could only make a few simple gestures with one arm.

”You mean that we shouldn't ally with the Dragon King? We'd better not guess at the king's decision. Let the Dragon King take some of the advantages, as he will return with interest at the end of the day.”

Shangguan Nu came out with his wife. Liman unconsciously nodded and praised inwardly, 'This woman's fame is well-deserved, it really would be difficult to find a beauty in Norland who can compare with her.”

King Kuari's guards were too few to stand in the way, allowing the eunuch Wei Chun to run over, panting. He quickly glanced the crowd and recognized Liman, the son of a general, and rushed over to him, snappily screeching in a shrill voice, ”How dare you snatch the people in King Kuari's office?”

Liman, with a look of great surprise, reached out to hold the swaying Wei Chu. ”Chief Wei, where did you get this idea? See, that is Shangguan Nu, the eighth young master of Golden Roc Castle. We came with him to pick up his wife. The reunion of husband and wife is a matter of great joy. How can you say that we are snatching people?”

Wei Chun struggled a few times but Liman's grip only tightened further. ”Shangguan Nu has ceased being a man of Golden Roc Castle long ago.”

”Yeah, but even so, they're still married, right? Is King Kuari going to break the couple up?”

Wei Chun blushed with embarrassment but could not think of a word to refute Liman. King Kuari had 'invited' Luo Ningcha under the banner of Shangguan Yun of Golden Roc Castle, but it was not as fair and aboveboard as taking her away under Shangguan Nu's banner.
