Chapter 216: Be a Favorite Concubine?
Two days later. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Zhang Li took thirty carriages and pulled a full "ransom" to the Northern Jin Dynasty to redeem the city of Dashun. And with him was a man wearing a hat that covered most of his face.
No one knew the identity of this man, only that Master Zhang occasionally talked to him, and his attitude was quite polite, so it was not easy to guess his identity.
The carriage walked relatively slowly, about two days and one night, before arriving at the station of the Northern Jin Dynasty.
When Zhang Li arrived, it was already sunset, and the sky was about to get completely dark.
"Zhang Li, the envoy of Dashun, asked to see the king of the Northern Jin Dynasty." Zhang Li personally stepped forward and asked the sentries of the Northern Jin Dynasty to help spread the word, and also indicated the purpose of his trip.
Soon, he was received by Ji Tang.
Zhang Li is the military advisor of Southern Xiang, and Ji Tang is the military advisor of the Northern Jin Dynasty, and the two are relatively equal in terms of identity, and they soon talked about the details of the redemption of the city.
The man wearing the hat applied to visit the queen and the crown prince, and under the leadership of General Ji Bu, he came to the courtyard where Shi Jiao'e lived.
"Your Excellency, please wait outside the door, and General Ben will send someone in to report it. Empress Shi and the little prince, although they are hostages of our Northern Jin Dynasty, are after all noble people of Southern Hunan. If she doesn't want to see you, General Ben won't be reluctant. Ji Bu looked at the other party, guessing the identity of the other party.
Since the last time, someone broke into Shi Jiao'e's yard to make trouble and almost caused a big disaster, he sent additional people to guard around the courtyard. Moreover, all the people who protect the courtyard this time are his cronies, and they will no longer be easily moved by Liu Han's words, and let people in casually.
After suffering a loss, he didn't dare to take any more risks.
"If you send this in, she'll meet me." Shi Bo took out a jade pendant and handed it to Ji Bu's hand.
This is a gift from his sister, and it is a piece of mutton fat white jade that his sister selected after running all over the shops in the capital, and carved it by hand. For so many years, he has been wearing it on his body and has never left it. For this reason, the lady was jealous when she just passed the door, and privately investigated the origin of this jade pendant.
Later, he took out another piece of jade, and barely suppressed someone's sea of vinegar.
Now, this jade pendant has become his identification.
"This ......" As soon as Ji Bu started it, he discovered the extraordinaryness of this jade pendant. The jade is as warm as mutton fat, held in the palm, as if it can make people calm, tranquil and comfortable, and should be an extremely precious thing.
What is the relationship between such a jade pendant and such a man, and Queen Dashun?
Ji Bu looked Shi Bo up and down with a scrutinizing gaze, as if he wanted to see something from him. If this person is Shi Jiao'e's friend, he will risk his life and cut him under the knife! and Shi Jiao'e, who was also hacked to death with a knife, and never let her defile the king!
"Li Guan, give this thing to the queen of Nanxiang and tell her that there is an old man who wants to see her." Ji Bu threw the jade pendant in his hand, not caring about the preciousness of this jade pendant.
Shi Bo's pupils shrank, his eyes stared at the jade pendant without blinking, and after seeing that Li Guan caught it steadily, he retracted his gaze and suppressed the anger in his heart.
Ji Bu pursed his lips disdainfully, his eyes flashing with unknown emotions.
After a while, Shi Jiao'e's courtyard door opened, and a figure ran out quickly.
"Big brother!" Shi Jiao'e stepped forward excitedly, stopped in front of Shi Bo, stretched out her hand with some trembling, and lifted the hat on his head.
"Big brother! It's really you! What about the father, how is the father? Shi Jiao'e's eyes were instantly filled with crystal tears, but she couldn't bear it.
"Father is all right, but he doesn't worry about you, so he sent me over to take a look." Shi Bo nodded, although there was no exaggerated movement, but the trembling lips showed that he was not calm in his heart.
"Uncle." Han Xin followed behind Shi Jiao'e, curtsied her knees, and greeted her in a soft voice, with a sweet smile on her face.
"Uncle...... Uncle. Han Lang bit his lip and buzzed like a mosquito, with an awkward look on his face.
Shi Bo just nodded, but didn't speak to the two. He looked at Shi Jiao'e again and asked with concern, "Have you been bullied here?" ”
Although he could calculate that his sister's life was not in danger, he still couldn't put his mind at ease.
"Lord Shi, please rest assured, our king has always been above board, and he doesn't bother to do things that bully women and children." Ji Bu confirmed Shi Bo's identity, and then opened his mouth to defend his master.
Although Shi Jiao'e also suffered some grievances, she had been stopped by him. Moreover, what he said is indeed right, except for a few black sheep, the soldiers of the Northern Jin Dynasty basically do not bully women and children.
"General Ji, can we let the two brothers and sisters say a few words alone?" Shi Bo looked directly at Ji Bu, obviously a civil servant who had never been on the battlefield, but his momentum was not weaker than Ji Bu.
"Lord Shi, please!" Ji Bu made a polite gesture and asked him to enter Shi Jiao'e's courtyard to talk in detail, while he took someone to hold it outside the gate.
He wanted to protect Shi Jiao'e's safety, which was the task given to him by the king before leaving.
After Shi Jiao'e entered the house, she first sent Wanru to take the child away, and then told Wanxi to make tea, and then turned to her eldest brother and asked him about the situation at home.
"Everything is fine at home. Father has returned to the court, so you don't have to worry too much. Shi Bo first comforted his sister, and then said: "Father sent me here this time to let me tell you that your turning point is in the Northern Jin Dynasty, as long as you go with the flow, everything will be solved." ”
This is the result of Shi Wen's final divination after spending a day and a night.
The celestial phenomena have changed, and after being rescued from the Lan family, they are slowly and stubbornly changing. He was able to count partially, but more often than not, it was obscured by the fog.
He didn't know Chu Yang's fate, and he couldn't figure out the final trend of the world. But one thing has not changed - that is, Shi Jiao'e's turning point is in the north!
As long as Shi Jiao'e stays in the north, not only can her own life be solved, but even the disaster of the Shi family can be resolved. Although it is not completely resolved, it is stronger than the previous extermination!
"Go with the flow?" Shi Jiao'e's breath stagnated, and her face was even more solemn.
Father has told her more than once to try to go with the flow, and everything will get better. Although she doubted her father, she did what he said every time.
Only this time, she didn't know what it was like in her heart.
Chu Yang was obviously courting her and clearly expressed his good impression of her. If she goes with the flow, does she want to accept Chu Yang and stay in the Northern Jin Dynasty as a favorite concubine?
