Chapter 165: Hidden Dangers
Princess Cheng said: "I mentioned this matter to the eldest princess, and she said that she would definitely take me, how could it be that King Cheng was only allowed to run around in the north and south, and I was not allowed to go out to have a look? However, what I am talking about now is that we have a walk around Gyeonggi, there are many interesting and interesting places, as well as places of interest, mountains, rivers and rivers, and ......" The more she said, the brighter her eyes became, "I have only seen them in books, and I have not experienced them with my own eyes." ”
Yu Mingzhi said: "This idea is excellent...... she paused, and continued: "It's a pity that King Yi doesn't know where he is now, and what kind of plans he is making, I am afraid it will not be possible for you to go out so rashly." ”
Princess Cheng was stunned for a moment, and said a little sadly: "I just hope that he will be arrested as soon as possible, so that we can have a peaceful life." This person spends his days drinking, and he doesn't interact with him much, but he only knows that he is a bastard who leads him to live a free life, but he didn't expect to have so many tricky thoughts. When you think about it, such a person is really terrible. ”
She couldn't help but say a few more words about King Yi, venting the dissatisfaction in her heart, Mrs. Yu and Yu Mingzhi were very clear, and listened to her quietly.
After talking for a while, she felt her mouth dry, and Princess Cheng smiled at them embarrassedly, and then went back to pack her things.
Mrs. Yu's mother and daughter sent her to the yard and then left to return to their own room, Yu Mingyang was playing with a few brushes given to her by King Yong, holding it in her hand and looking at it over and over, she couldn't put it down, Yu Mingzhi pretended to pick it up and take a look, but she refused to protect it in her arms.
Her sister wasn't such a stingy person.
It seems that he attaches great importance to King Yong.
She asked, "Does Mingyang like His Royal Highness King Yong very much?"
"Yes," the little girl nodded generously. "I like Brother Hengyi very much. ”
"Brother Hengyi?" Yu Mingzhi and his mother glanced at each other and smiled dumbly.
actually shouted so kindly.
Mrs. Yu is a little happy to see this good thing, although King Yong's grandfather's house is too far from here, but in a place like the capital, it is better to hide as far away as possible, there is nothing more important than her daughters are alive and well.
Yu Mingzhi glanced at his mother and asked his sister softly, "Is His Royal Highness King Yong good to you?"
Yu Mingyang nodded, "It's okay, not only gave me so many things, but also taught me to read and write." Mother, sister, look. That's what Brother Hengyi taught me!"
The little girl held up a piece of paper as if showing off, and the upright font on it was rare for a nine-year-old girl, which showed that some people really put their heart into teaching.
There were more surprises in Mrs. Yu's eyes.
Yu Mingzhi asked her sister to continue practicing calligraphy, and sat down with her mother on the soft floor next to the bed to talk. "Mother. Look at King Yong......"
"Looks good. He is a good boy in good character. Mrs. Yu took a sip of tea and looked at the courtyard that looked even more withered after the autumn came. "Our family's current identity is also worthy of King Yong. I am afraid that King Yong is worried that making friends with officials in Beijing will arouse the emperor's suspicion. ”
"He is very smart and knows that he only befriends Qin Ji alone, and Qin Ji is the only person the emperor will not be jealous of. Yu Mingzhi said.
Mrs. Yu put her mind at ease, "That's good." She suddenly noticed her daughter's bright eyes, suddenly came back to her senses, and slapped her palm on the door of her head, "Look at what nonsense I'm talking about, Mingyang is only a few years old now, and I don't know what King Yong means, I'm just guessing here." ”
Yu Mingzhi comforted: "How can it be impossible?"
Mrs. Yu turned her head to look over and asked puzzledly, "What do you mean by what you say?"
Yu Mingzhi said: "Mother, look at it." She smiled and pushed the brewed flower tea in front of her mother, "How about you taste this?" ”
Mrs. Yu took a sip, the sweet smell lingered between her lips and teeth, sweet but just right, not at all tired.
"Akie's hands for making tea are better now than before. She exclaimed, "Sure enough, we have changed a lot." ”
"Isn't this to better honor my mother?" Yu Mingzhi hurriedly replied.
Mrs. Yu said: "You are a bit of a thief, and the tea art is progressing rapidly, is it because you want to give Qin Ji a drink?"
Yu Mingzhi shook his head, "He doesn't drink such tea." ”
Mrs. Yu said, "I'm joking." ”
Yu Mingzhi smiled and lowered his head to fiddle with the tea set.
The mother and daughter talked for a while, and Princess Cheng, who had packed up her things, came over and pestered Yu Mingzhi to play chess for a while. Yu Mingzhi had no choice but to accompany, took out the chessboard, put it on the small table by the window, and made tea.
Princess Cheng looked at Yu Mingyang, who was still in the curtain, propped herself up, glanced at it and sat back, "The little girl is really amazing, she can write such a beautiful handwriting at a young age, did she learn it from Mr. Girl? I really want to ask a few children in my family to come and see it, so that they can study hard." ”
Yu Mingzhi said: "The princess has won the award, but Mingyang is very diligent, so she can practice." ”
Princess Cheng said: "I see. ”
Yu Mingyang shouted: "And Brother Hengyi is guiding me!"
Yu Mingzhi was surprised, "Will he teach you?"
Four simple words do contain many meanings.
Princess Cheng paid attention to Yu Mingyang.
Yu Mingyang said: "Yes, teach me how to write one stroke at a time." ”
Mrs. Yu smiled: "What a patient and careful child. ”
Princess Cheng saw all these in her eyes, and her eyes fell back on the chessboard, crisscrossing the black and white children to turn them into generals, commanding their respective soldiers and horses, and fighting on the chessboard.
She is smart and brave, not an ordinary woman.
Princess Cheng hooked the corners of her mouth slightly and put a white piece in the chessboard.
The originally evenly matched situation immediately changed, but Yu Mingzhi was not in a hurry, quietly looked at the chessboard, and didn't have much to do to pick up a black piece and put it near the white one.
The situation didn't seem to have changed in any way, but after taking five steps, the effect of that step became apparent, and her advantage was not only gone, but was countered by the general.
Princess Cheng said: "I'm going to bow down." "It is said that a person can be seen from playing chess, and this is true.
Yu Mingzhi said: "The victory and defeat have not yet been decided." ”
Princess Cheng said: "You are so humble. Who taught you how to play chess?"
Mrs. Yu sighed silently.
Yu Mingzhi said: "It's my father, we will kill a few games whenever we have time." Nowadays, he occasionally plays chess with Qin Ji. ”
Princess Cheng nodded, "The tiger father has no dogs." Then you or Qin Ji, who wins more?"
Yu Mingzhi laughed, "Me." "Actually, it's always been her, but she doesn't want to expose too much in front of Princess Cheng.
Princess Cheng said: "Okay, good, I didn't expect Qin Shilang to have a place to admit defeat." You two husband and wife, loving and interesting, I don't know how many people you want to envy. She looked at Mrs. Yu. "I think Mrs. Yu will get good news soon. ”
Yu Mingzhi blushed slightly. Awkward: "The princess laughed......"
Princess Cheng covered her mouth and laughed, she looked in a good mood, without the unhappiness caused by Xue Changshi's arrival.
"What's the joke, I think Mrs. Yu is also looking forward to hugging her grandson as soon as possible, right?"
This thing. Let Mrs. Yu nod "yes". "I'm relieved. It's time to pass the time. ”
Yu Mingzhi looked at his mother, and the hand on his thigh couldn't help but tighten a little.
She was a little happy, and her mother was sincerely looking forward to her and Qin Ji having a child. will treat this grandson surnamed Qin sincerely. And she didn't want to have a child, let her come to this world safely and smoothly, and enjoy the favor of her parents and elders.
Her heart seemed to be filled with honey, and the sweetness was endless.
Princess Cheng put down another chess piece in an attempt to save the defeat.
Yu Mingzhi seriously thought about her intention to take this step again, and didn't even notice a series of chaotic footsteps from far and near.
After Zhu'er heard the explanation of the situation, her face suddenly became solemn, and she quickly returned to Yu Mingzhi's side, looking at the faces of several people present, and suddenly she couldn't say anything when she reached the tip of her tongue.
Mrs. Yu asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Yu Mingzhi put down his wife, then looked up at her and asked the same question.
Zhu'er pondered for a moment and said slowly: "On the way back to the city, Gongzi encountered an ambush, and now his whereabouts are unknown. ”
"Huh?" Yu Mingzhi frowned, forcibly suppressed the feeling of panic, and asked, "Is he injured? Who is the ambush man?"
Zhu'er said: "The messenger was waiting outside, and the slave told him to come down to the window and talk back. ”
"Good. Yu Mingzhi nodded, and then asked the maid to take Yu Mingyang down to rest.
One of Qin Ji's guards saluted by the window and said in a deep voice: "Gongzi did not have any hands before he disappeared, and the men and horses in ambush are presumed to be the people of King Yi. ”
It's good that he is not injured and has support, Yu Mingzhi breathed a long sigh of relief, and when he lowered his head, he found that he was nervously scratching his skirt.
Now I only hope that Qin Ji can come back safe and sound.
She didn't have the heart to play chess anymore, so Princess Cheng sat down next to Yu Mingzhi and whispered a few words of comfort, "Qin Shilang is both civil and military, and he has already seen through the tricks of King Yi's faction before, so he must have taken precautions early this time, and wants to catch them all." ”
Yu Mingzhi said with a smile: "Princess's auspicious words." ”
Princess Cheng rubbed her hands, "When I was sad, I was accompanied by your mother and daughter, and now it is time for me to do my best." ”
Yu Mingzhi looked at the hand holding him, "Mother, you are resting in the house to accompany Mingyang, and I will go to the hall to wait for news." Princess, you have been busy for most of the day, and I dare not bother you to accompany me. Although they all said that it was okay, she still wanted to see Qin Ji come back earlier, otherwise she wouldn't have the heart to do anything.
Princess Cheng said: "What's the trouble here? I just hope that Qin Shilang can come back safe and sound." ”
Yu Mingzhi did not express any opinion on her words, nor was he polite, returning to the hall with Princess Cheng to wait for the news.
Since then, however, no one has returned, except for those sent out to inquire about the news, who have not brought back any valuable information, and they all say that they cannot find the whereabouts of Childe. As the sky gradually darkened, even if it was safe before, when it came to this time, it was even more worrying and scared.
If it's really okay, it's impossible that he hasn't come back by now.
Is there an accident? Or are you taking advantage of the victory to pursue and try to capture King Yi?
Thinking that it was still sweet before, but now she is full of worry, Yu Mingzhi sighed silently, the hand holding the skirt tightened more and more, and the luxurious and soft fabric crumpled in her hand.
When it was completely dark, Mrs. Yu also came over and asked Zhu'er to put dinner on the table, but in the face of the hot and fragrant dishes, they didn't have the heart to eat.
What happened to Qin Ji?
Just when Yu Mingzhi was worried about Qin Ji, Qin Ji was standing in a ruined temple outside the city.
The ruined temple had been abandoned for many years, the face of the Buddha statue had been blurred, the stone statue was crisscrossed with cracks, weeds, bones of unknown animals, and black things, so that the temple that was supposed to be solemn and clean was shrouded in a foul smell.
The cold moonlight poured down on him through the broken roof.
He stood so calmly in the middle of the ruined temple, quietly listening to the sound of the wind passing through the hall, those whimpering seemed to be the cry of a ghost, which made ordinary people tremble, but he could not change his face.
Two hours ago, he finished the shipyard business, and on the way back, he encountered an ambush.
It was a carefully arranged ambush, and the fact that they were able to set a lot of traps in the short time before the previous group of men and horses passed by him showed their determination to kill him.
In the chaos, his horse was killed by random arrows, and he fought hard with the guards before he broke out of the encirclement and temporarily hid in the vast woods.
The killers are not only numerous, but also highly skilled, according to a guard who has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, judging from their moves and resolute actions, it is very likely that they came from a killer organization called "Yellow Springs" in the rivers and lakes. Employers who can afford to use these killers must be either rich or expensive, and the commission is not something that ordinary eunuchs and rich businessmen can afford, and once they make a move, they will be responsible until the person the employer wants to kill dies.
There are thousands of people in the world who hate him, and there are very few who have the money and power to afford these killers.
King Yi is one.
There was another person, he also thought of it.
When people are cornered, they can do anything, even if they are bankrupt.
That's how the Yue family is.
Although King Yi wants to get rid of him, according to the information he has found, he still has soldiers and horses in his own hands, and he will never waste his money on the killer. What's more, if you hire a killer, won't more people know his whereabouts?
Although "Yellow Springs" will work hard for the employer, once there is a greater benefit, then the employer is not important.
betrayed King Yi, as long as the identity of the killer is not exposed, then they will definitely be rewarded by the emperor, and they will be rich and prosperous in the future, and they will also have greater plans.
Therefore, only the Yue family, only Yue Zhaohui must get rid of him as a stumbling block in order to get the branches and climb the backer of the eldest princess behind the branches. (To be continued.) )
