Chapter 108: Jin Shu
[One hundred and eight-Jin Shu] There was a little mess
There are many paths on the sleeping crow mountain, in addition to the merchants who go to the royal city, the people nearby will often go into the mountain to cut firewood and collect medicine, there is a Taoran Pavilion at the peak, the literati often gather to enjoy the scenery and listen to the wind and drink, so it is quite lively during the day, and it will become quiet at night.
There were torches on the mountain road, and the government was looking for someone, but no clues were found all night. There is a huge mountain and forest, not to mention that more than a dozen people have been lost, even if an army is lost, I am afraid it will not be easy to find.
In the palace, Liu Dajiong worried: "It's not a way to keep looking for it so aimlessly." ”
"What do you think?" Chu Yuan said, "Say it and listen to it." ”
"Your Majesty." Tao Rende said, "If it is really attacked by someone, there is a chance that it will be done by the rebel party in the South China Sea." ”
"Chu Xiang?" Chu Yuan nodded, "I think so too." ”
Prior to this, the White Elephant Kingdom and Great Chu were not very frequent, and this return to the country to the north in person was the most intimate action between the two countries in recent years, so even Chu Yuan only had a rough understanding of the White Elephant Kingdom. This time, Nava mysteriously disappeared into the barren mountains outside the city, and everyone in the court and China was black-eyed - even if it could be deduced that the mastermind behind the scenes was Chu Xiang, I don't know what his intentions were, whether he wanted to kill people and plant them, or whether he wanted to kidnap people as bargaining chips, or whether he wanted to take the opportunity to capture the White Elephant Kingdom and use it to deal with Great Chu in the future. Any kind of inference is possible, but it is not certain, so we can only do it in a hurry.
After coming out of the imperial study, Chu Yuan felt a little bored, and Sixi's father-in-law whispered: "Your Majesty, the king of the southwest is back." ”
Chu Yuan hurriedly returned to the dormitory, and saw Duan Baiyue standing at the table drinking water.
"How?" Chu Yuan asked.
Duan Baiyue shook her head: "Nothing." ”
Chu Yuan sighed: "An hour ago, Xiang Yan came back, and he also said that there were no clues. ”
"The other party is obviously prepared, such a big mountain, it should be strange to be able to find it lightly." Duan Baiyue said, "Now that all the mountain passes have been closed, it's a big deal to spend a little more time, you can always find it, don't worry." ”
"What if you find a corpse?" Chu Yuan asked.
"It's much more cost-effective to keep Nava and Jin Shu's lives than to keep a few corpses." Duan Baiyue said, "Not to mention Jin Shu's husband Kunda, it is a big merchant gang that spans several countries, even if it is a good deal to extort a sum of money first and then kill it." ”
Chu Yuan said: "You are relieved? ”
"It's called a matter of facts." Duan Baiyue handed him the teacup, "Nava has a younger brother named Naxi Thorn, during the time when Kunda is not in the White Elephant Kingdom, political affairs should be handled by him, I heard that it is a thorn, it is not easy to provoke." ”
"Then we have to find the person faster." Chu Yuan frowned, "Otherwise, we will provoke one more enemy for nothing." ”
Duan Baiyue squatted in front of him: "Stupid? ”
"What?" Chu Yuan sat on the stool and looked at him.
"When I was in the White Elephant Country before, I heard that Naxi Thorn didn't have a good relationship with his Nava." Duan Baiyue said, "This kind of brotherly relationship that you fight for me, you should know better than anyone else. ”
Chu Yuan nodded.
"Nava's northward move this time is a secret move, he should be more afraid than anyone else that the news will flow out, so as not to be known by the rest of the Nanyang island countries, and send envoys to Dachu first, and take this cup of soup." Duan Baiyue said, "It's just that the rest of the people can hide it, but their own family members can't hide it." ”
"What do you mean, that Naxi Thorn colluded with Chu Xiang to leak Nava's whereabouts this time?" Chu Yuan asked.
Duan Baiyue said: "It's just a guess. ”
"In a day or two, it is estimated that Jin Tai will also come to Wangcheng." Chu Yuan said, "Originally, I said that I would come to see my sister, but there was such an incident, and there would be trouble when the time came." "Don't say anything else, just that chattering loud voice makes my brain hurt when I think about it.
"Today, the Imperial Forest Army is still looking in the mountains, and I will go over after a while." Duan Baiyue said, "I won't come back at night." ”
"You're not alone on the mountain." Chu Yuan said, "Don't run back and forth, just like Liu Aiqing said, it's not a way to keep looking for it like this, I haven't slept all night, just rest well." ”
"Relax." Duan Baiyue patted his chest, "Leave it to me." ”
"I'll give it to you, and I can conjure up the White Elephant Country?" Chu Yuan asked.
Duan Baiyue said, "Hmm." ”
Chu Yuan looked at him for a moment, couldn't cry or laugh, raised his foot and kicked: "I'm talking about business." ”
"I know." Duan Baiyue stood up and opened the door to ask Sixi to bring some food.
Chu Yuan said: "I don't have an appetite." ”
"Just eat with me." Duan Baiyue sat across from him, "I've been in the mountains for seven or eight hours, and I haven't even been able to drink a sip of water. ”
Chu Yuan stretched out his hand and patted his face sullenly: "Thank you for your hard work." ”
Duan Baiyue shook her head with a smile: "What's the matter, it's so sad." The king of the southwest has rebelled for more than ten years, and I'm afraid I haven't seen you sigh so much. ”
Chu Yuan said: "Tired." "Finally, my sweetheart came to Wangcheng, but there were all kinds of things, and I was really tired.
Duan Baiyue hugged him into his arms: "After finishing the meal, will I sleep with you for a while?" ”
Chu Yuan said: "Okay." ”
"What are you afraid of, with me." Duan Baiyue whispered in his ear, "When the sky falls, I can also push you back." ”
Chu Yuan hugged him tightly: "Hmm." ”
Duan Baiyue smiled and didn't speak again, until he heard the footsteps of the waiter outside, and then let go of the person.
The meals were extremely light, and after the two of them used them, Sixi's father-in-law came to spread the word again, saying that Master Li of the Ministry of Rites asked to see him.
"Is there a hurry?" Duan Baiyue asked.
Sixi said fairly: "It doesn't look like it's too anxious." ”
"Nope." Duan Baiyue said, "Come back tomorrow." ”
Sixi glanced at the emperor cautiously, and saw that his chin was resting on the table, as if he was looking at the front in a daze, so he bowed his head and promised, and hurriedly retreated.
Chu Yuan covered his ears with his hands.
Duan Baiyue opened the door again and said, "Unless it's really urgent, no one will come today." ”
Sixi said: "Yes." ”
Chu Yuan looked at him: "You pretended to pass on the holy decree." ”
"I'll give you a call." Duan Baiyue stretched out her hand.
Chu Yuan complained: "Dizzy." ”
Duan Baiyue picked him up and took him into the inner room.
Sixi's father-in-law thought outside, every time the king of the southwest came, the emperor seemed to be a different person.
It's pretty good.
Even if Nava is lost.
That's still pretty good.
After coaxing people to sleep, Duan Baiyue rode out of the city and went to Sleeping Crow Mountain.
The newly transferred army, together with the Imperial Guards, almost surrounded the mountain. Although some people were surprised why the King of the Southwest suddenly appeared, seeing that he and Zhao Yue had a good conversation, it was estimated that the emperor also knew, so no one asked.
The southwest mountains are rich and forested, and Duan Baiyue can be regarded as growing up in the mountains, so he knows this kind of terrain well. After a short time, they staggered away from the army and walked along a small stream. In autumn, the grass has dried up a little, the water volume of the river has dropped, and the mud on both sides of the bank has been dried by the sun, and cracks have appeared turtles, and if someone steps on them, the traces are very obvious.
A messy aquatic weed was trampled down, and there was still some juice left on the stalks, and further on, there was a large piece of broken grass stems, and even some ...... Bloodstain.
Duan Baiyue remained silent, holding the hilt of the sword in her right hand, and walked towards the depths of the aquatic grass step by step.
There was silence all around.
A pair of embroidered shoes were stained with mud, Luo's skirt showed a hint of goose yellow in the muddy puddle, and then looking up, it was the right hand of a young woman wearing a jade bracelet.
Duan Baiyue slowly pushed aside the grass in front of him.
Jin Shu's eyes were closed, and most of them were submerged in muddy water, unable to see whether they were dead or alive.
Duan Baiyue pulled the person out, probed her nose, and still had a faint breath, so she took out the pill from her arms and fed it to her mouth, and led the person all the way out of the mountain back to the palace.
Almost all the doctors in the Tai Hospital were invited to the side hall, and after the consultation, they all said that there was no big problem, but they were drugged and would wake up in a short time.
"Don't say anything else," Duan Baiyue said, "At least Jin Tai has an explanation, and when Jin Shu wakes up, he will be able to know what happened." ”
Chu Yuan nodded, stretched out his hand and wiped his forehead for him: "You are not allowed to leave again tonight, have a good rest." ”
Duan Baiyue grabbed his wrist and kissed him.
Sixi said outside: "Your Majesty, Lord Tao and Lord Liu ask to meet." ”
Duan Baiyue's eyes almost rolled to the sky.
Chu Yuan laughed: "The attitude is better." ”
"No." Duan Baiyue said, "Anyway, he can't look at it." ”
"Who said you can't see it?" Chu Yuan patted him on the shoulder and said to Sixi, "Xuan." ”
Duan Baiyue: "......"
"Sit." Chu Yuan said, "Now everyone knows that you have come to the royal city, and you still can't hide from it." ”
The king of the southwest was in a good mood, and chose the softest chair to sit on.
Tao Rende entered the house, but he didn't expect Duan Baiyue to be there, and he was stunned for a moment.
Liu Dajiong held his hands, but he was extremely calm - he had originally come to see the excitement.
Chu Yuan asked, "Is there anything wrong with the two Aiqing?" ”
Tao Rende glanced at Duan Baiyue.
The King of the Southwest smiled extremely kindly.
Tao Rende: "......"
Liu Dajiong's eyes were full of sympathy, and he replied to those few words, upside down and upside down, the ambition of the wolf son of the king of the southwest, and Dali City must be guarded against. It's good now, Bang Dang bumped into the main owner, and it is estimated that he can suffocate to death.
Chu Yuan said again: "I've been staring at it since I entered the door, could it be that Lord Taifu has made a special trip to see the King of the Southwest?" ”
Duan Baiyue's smile became more and more friendly.
Tao Rende said: "Exactly." ”
Liu Dajiong: "Poof." ”
……
For a while, the atmosphere in the hall was very strange.
Fortunately, Master Taifu found a new topic in time and said, "Weichen heard that the king of the southwest rescued the princess of Goryeo from the mountain?" ”
"It's inside." Chu Yuan said, "The imperial doctor is diagnosing and treating, and he said that he would wake up in a while." ”
Liu Dajiong said: "That's good, that's good." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a doctor came to report, saying that Jin Shu was awake, but he was just ...... It's just that......
Chu Yuan frowned: "What's the matter?" ”
The imperial physician knelt down and said, "Back to the emperor, Princess Goryeo seems to have lost her memory. ”
