Empress, please lay down your armor, for I will save the world with a single sword!

Shangguan Na's eyes flickered slightly.

She looked at Wu Liang, and a smile slowly returned to her face.

"Oh?"

"Dr. Wu, you've made up your mind so quickly?"

Tell me about it.

Wu Liang sat back down in his chair and poured himself a cup of tea.

"I will be going to Luoan City soon."

A strange light flashed in Shangguan Na's eyes.

She smiled and said, "So?"

Wu Liang looked up at her.

"I hope the princess will send some skilled warriors to escort me safely to Luo'an City."

Shangguan Na's smile almost froze.

Should someone be sent to escort him to Luo'an?

How could she kill him then?

Her original plan was to get rid of Wu Liang as soon as the acupuncture treatment ended and she recovered.

This person has seen too much and still repeatedly acts recklessly towards himself!

But now, he actually offered to let her send someone to escort him.

Many thoughts raced through Shangguan Na's mind in an instant, but she still smiled beautifully on her face.

"Dr. Wu must be joking, right?"

"You are the number one secret agent of the Dragon Guard Manor, the sharpest knife in His Highness Prince Qing's hands."

"You're going to Luo'an, do you really need me to send people to protect you?"

Wu Liang sighed.

"Your Highness is unaware of this."

"Although I have some skills, I also hate trouble."

"Tomorrow is Pei Chang'an's wedding. If I accidentally ruin the wedding, I will jeopardize Pei Xiao's important plans."

"Do you think that old fox Pei Xiao might resort to desperate measures and prevent me from leaving Bei Yong alive?"

Shangguan Na narrowed her eyes slightly.

That's true.

If Pei Xiao's marriage is truly ruined, he will do more than just desperate measures.

It might be able to turn the entire Northern Yong City upside down.

Wu Liang continued, "Therefore, I need someone to escort me."

"And the princess is surrounded by a multitude of experts and powerful figures."

Shangguan Na gently waved her fan, her tone soft and sweet.

"Dr. Wu, your conditions are quite remarkable."

"I'm already facing many inconveniences in Beiyong. Where would I get so many experts to send to you?"

Wu Liang smiled.

"Your Highness's words may fool others, but..."

"It's no fun trying to fool me."

Shangguan Na raised an eyebrow.

"What, Dr. Wu, do you think I'm lying to you?"

Wu Liang glanced outside the door.

"Isn't Ghost's Sorrow a master?"

"Moreover, who in the world doesn't know that Prince Shuoning established the Black Feather Platform and invited martial arts masters from all over the world to serve him? This is no secret."

"As the beloved daughter of Prince Shuoning, I don't believe that the princess doesn't have several skilled fighters by her side."

Shangguan Na closed the folding fan and gently tapped her palm.

Even if I had it, I couldn't just lend it to you.

"Dr. Wu, as you know, the situation in Beiyong is complicated right now, and I need someone to protect me."

Her voice softened, carrying a hint of negotiation.

How about this?

"Change your terms."

"What about having a fortune?"

"If you want gold, jewels, estates, or fine horses from beyond the Great Wall, I can give you any of them."

Wu Liang shook his head.

"don't want."

Shangguan Na continued to laugh.

"A divine weapon and a precious horse?"

"don't want."

"Beautiful wives and concubines?"

This time, Wu Liang did not refuse immediately.

Instead, he raised his eyes and looked Shangguan Na up and down.

That look wasn't exactly blatant, but it was anything but innocent.

My gaze traveled from her eyebrows and eyes to her waist, and then slowly back to her bright and beautiful face.

Shangguan Na felt a surge of anger under his gaze, and she couldn't help but clench her folding fan tightly.

That lecherous scoundrel!

"Wu Liang," she said, her voice slightly cold, "what are you looking at?"

Wu Liang, however, seemed oblivious to the annoyance in her tone, and instead sighed seriously.

"A beautiful wife or concubine isn't necessarily a bad thing."

Shangguan Na's eyes flickered.

Wu Liang continued, "But I look down on ordinary, vulgar women."

"unless……"

He paused, then his gaze fell on Shangguan Na's face, and his smile became somewhat irritating.

"Unless she is as beautiful as a princess."

Shangguan Na's expression changed instantly, then she laughed in anger.

"What's so difficult about that?"

She unfolded her folding fan and said coldly, "There are countless beauties in the world who surpass me. If Doctor Wu truly enjoys beautiful women, this princess will find you a few."

"No."

Wu Liang shook his head.

He looked at Shangguan Na, suddenly dropped his carefree smile, and a seemingly affectionate expression appeared on his face.

"But there is only one Shangguan Na."

Shangguan Na was stunned for a moment.

Her cheeks quickly flushed a light red.

It's not out of shame.

It's anger.

"presumptuous!"

She slammed her folding fan shut with a sharp, angry sound. "Wu Liang, how dare you!"

Wu Liang remained completely calm.

He looked at her calmly and even cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.

"A beautiful and graceful lady is the object of a gentleman's affections."

"How can this be called outrageous?"

"Besides, the princess herself asked me if I wanted beautiful wives and concubines, and I was just answering truthfully."

Is telling the truth a crime?

Shangguan Na was so angry she wanted to bite her teeth.

She had seen bold people, but she had never seen anyone so shameless.

But he still acted as if he was completely in the right.

It seems like she was the one who started the teasing.

Shangguan Na snorted coldly, her eyes piercing him like knives.

"Don't even think about it!"

Wu Liang sighed regretfully.

"Then there's nothing we can do."

"Since the princess is reluctant to part with herself, then I will still need a skilled escort."

Shangguan Na kept a straight face and said coldly, "Dr. Wu, you're making things difficult for me."

Wu Liang shook his head.

"No problem."

"The princess personally agreed to three conditions. My conditions are: no killing, no arson, no ceding territory or paying reparations, and no betraying the country."

"They just sent a few people to escort me."

"This isn't acceptable?"

Shangguan Na gritted her teeth.

This person is really difficult to deal with.

She knew he was trying to set her up, but she couldn't just snap at him.

The illness had just been cured, and the conditions had just been agreed upon.

If she were to immediately back out, it would truly make Shangguan Na appear fickle.

Although she doesn't care about fame.

But she values ​​taking the initiative.

She smiled, as if she had finally taken a step back.

"All right."

"Since Doctor Wu insists on this, I will send five experts to escort you to Luo'an in a few days."

Wu Liang immediately asked, "What kind of expert?"

Shangguan Na said, "Of course, he's a master."

What grade?

"Dr. Wu, you're asking for way too much."

Wu Liang said seriously, "This concerns my life, so of course I have to find out the details."

Shangguan Na squinted at him.

"How many grades would you like?"

Wu Liang held up one finger.

"At the very least, one must be a Grandmaster of the First Rank."

Shangguan Na was so angry she laughed.

"A Grandmaster of the First Rank?"

"Wu Liang, do you think a Grandmaster of the First Rank is like a roadside cabbage? Or a roast chicken in a restaurant, something you can just order and have served anywhere?"

Wu Liang shrugged.

"The princess is the princess of the Great Yuan Dynasty."

"The Black Feather Platform under the command of the Prince of Shuoning is filled with experts and powerful figures."

"A few Grandmasters of the First Rank are as difficult as climbing to heaven for others, but for the Princess, it should be just a matter of a word."

Shangguan Na felt a tightness in her chest from his words.

That guy really knows how to talk.

The words "Princess of the Great Yuan" and "Black Feather Terrace is full of experts" immediately put her in mid-air.

If she says no, wouldn't that be admitting that she, as a princess, is incompetent?

But if we say there is...

Then we really have to send one.

However, the next moment, Shangguan Na suddenly had a thought.
