125.Chapter 124: The Situation
A golden-red scorpion crawled out of Aunt Kim's sleeve to breathe, only to be stuffed back in.
Ye Jin grabbed his sleeve and stared at it.
Want.
Aunt Jin stood up with a dustpan and asked kindly, "The old body is going to feed those little things in the Five Poison Pool, can Lord Ye Gu go and take a look?" ”
Ye Jin nodded immediately.
Aunt Jin handed over the dustpan: "Then the tired valley master can help serve it for a while?" I'm old, and my arms are useless. ”
Ye Jin received it in his hand with a "whoosh", and he clenched it very tightly!
Aunt Jin smiled and led the person out of the courtyard.
……
"Tired or not?" Inside the house, Duan Baiyue whispered in his ear, "There is a banquet in the house, but if you are too troublesome, let the rest of the people eat, and I will ask the kitchen to make another one and send it here." ”
"There is a banquet in the house, but you and I are not there?" Chu Yuan stretched out his hand and pushed him away a little, "I'm not afraid of being said." ”
"If you can live in the Southwest Mansion, you are all trustworthy people." Duan Baiyue said, "Why do you care about this. ”
"Let's go with everyone." Chu Yuan said, "It's still early, you take me to the mansion to take a look around?" ”
Duan Baiyue nodded, called hot water for him to scrub briefly, and then took one out of the residence.
Compared with the Imperial Palace, the mansion in the Southwest Mansion is naturally not big, but it is also very imposing. A few years ago, in order to make people believe in the ambition of the wolf son of the southwest king, he has always been at odds with the Chu Emperor, so he imitated the style of the palace when the house was built, and there was a stone bridge and a living spring in the garden, which was exactly the same as the scenery in the palace.
"Is it a place where you and I are in love?" Duan Baiyue asked.
Chu Yuan kicked him: "Nonsense." ”
"Holding hands on this bridge, doesn't it count?" Duan Baiyue said.
Chu Yuan couldn't cry or laugh: "How old was that year." "Besides, they didn't intend to get close, but the ground was slippery after the rain in the Imperial Garden, so they just helped each other.
"It doesn't matter, it's my person who holds hands." Duan Baiyue said, "I've missed you all these years, so I'll come here to sit and guess what you're doing." ”
"Go to court, fight, look at the excerpts." Chu Yuan held his hand, "Otherwise, what else can you do?" ”
"Didn't you think about me?" Duan Baiyue reminded.
Chu Yuan shook his head firmly.
The King of the Southwest sighed from the bottom of his heart.
Chu Yuan pushed him with a smile: "Before I came, I said that there were black and white buildings everywhere in the southwest, but after walking around for so long, I didn't look at any of them, but it was exactly the same as in the palace." ”
"If you want to see it, you'll have to do it after the battle." Duan Baiyue said, "In this Dali city, there are many small black and white buildings. Not now, the Nanyang soldiers are in chaos, Chu Xiang will not obediently wait for us to send troops, he will inevitably act first, and if he goes out rashly, he is afraid that there will be chaos. ”
"Did you receive the letter I sent to you earlier?" Chu Yuan sat on the stone bridge steps on the spot, and he didn't feel out of shape, and it was quite comfortable to blow the wind.
"About the Naxi Thorn?" Duan Baiyue sat beside him, "Naturally, I received it, and I also sent someone to the White Elephant Country and the Siam Yuan Kingdom to secretly investigate, and I just came back the day before yesterday." ”
"Tell me about it." Chu Yuan rested his chin on his knee and tilted his head to look at him.
"Siamese closed all its ports, and no longer allowed merchant ships to enter or leave, nor did its own merchants go to sea again. Although some public resentment was boiling when the ban was first issued, everyone knew that Da Chu was about to send troops to fight against the rebels, and the sea was indeed not peaceful, so after ten days and half a month, the country slowly stopped. Duan Baiyue said, "The court is the same, Kunda and Jin Shu are missing, and their families have not gone to cry to Wu Deng, but the door is closed every day, and even a fly can't fly in." ”
"Are there any rumors among the people?" Chu Yuan said, "Kunda is the richest family, Jin Shu is the princess of Goryeo, two people with such identities are lost, if the people don't react at all, they shouldn't be." ”
"Of course, there are rumors, but there are all kinds of things, so people don't believe them all." Duan Baiyue said, "Some people say that they were kidnapped by robbers, some people say that they were detained by the emperor of Dachu, some people say that they went to overseas Xianshan to hunt for treasures, and some people say that they went back to Goryeo Kingdom together. ”
"Nava said earlier that Wu Deng is extremely cautious and has a big heart." Chu Yuan said, "If he really hasn't been co-opted by Chu Xiang and is just neutral now, then after we send Kunda and Jin Shu back, there should still be a chance to fight for Siam's Yuan Country." ”
Duan Baiyue nodded: "The people in the Southwest Mansion have been secretly staring at Wu Deng, and they will send it back as soon as there is news." ”
"What about the White Elephant Country?" Chu Yuan asked again.
"The White Elephant Country is much more complicated." Duan Baiyue said, "Don't say it, that fake Nava still has some means." ”
"How?" Chu Yuan sat up straight.
"He has put the queen mother and concubines all in the Buddhist hall, in the name of chanting scriptures and praying for blessings." Duan Baiyue said, "In this way, the people who are most likely to find out that he is abnormal have all been placed under house arrest, and they have been purged together with the palace maids and guards, and now the palace is full of his people, or simply Chu Xiang's people, and the risk of being found out is reduced by half." ”
"What about the minister and the army?" Chu Yuan continued to ask.
"He co-opted the prime minister of the White Elephant Country, Nie Yuanshan." Duan Baiyue said, "This person's ancestral home is Dachu, and when he was eight years old, he followed his father to the sea and moved to the White Elephant Country, and lived in Shanxi for three years, making a living by writing pairs for people, but then returned to the White Elephant Country. ”
"Write pairs?" Chu Yuan frowned.
"There are some pairs in the open, but in the dark I don't know what he is doing." Duan Baiyue said, "I can only be sure of one thing, this person has been bought by Chu Xiang at present, and he knows about the fake Nava." He usually has a very high prestige in the court, and he does things without leakage and viciousness, and under his instruction, the backbone of the court's old ministers have been sent to prison and exiled to death. The rumors in the DPRK and China are that everyone is in danger, and I am afraid that it will not be long before the White Elephant Kingdom will formally form an alliance with Chu Xiang. ”
Chu Yuan said: "Then the previous plan will be changed, not to fight the Fei Burmese Kingdom, but to start with the White Elephant Country." ”
"It's not a bad thing." Duan Baiyue said, "The white fog of the country is vast, and it will be dangerous to break in rashly. It is not bad to practice with the White Elephant Kingdom first, so that the Chu army is familiar with naval warfare. ”
"The White Elephant Country, the Fei Burma Country, the Star Continent, plus the tide cliffs of the East China Sea." Chu Yuan said, "Can you finish fighting in three years?" ”
"It didn't take such a long time to hit the north side." Duan Baiyue stretched out his hand and let him lean on his shoulder, "Three years, it's too much to give Chu Xiang face." ”
"Hmm." Chu Yuan smiled, "It doesn't matter how long he lasts, when he wins, and when he returns to the dynasty." ”
There was the sound of footsteps behind him, then a moment of pause, and a moment later, there was a very small rustling sound.
"Come out." Duan Baiyue said.
Duan Yao stopped his steps backwards, cautiously came out of the woods, and said with a dry smile: "I just want to take a shortcut to get out of the house." "I didn't want to bother you on purpose.
"What are you doing out of the house?" Duan Baiyue asked, "Just go home and run down the street." ”
"I'm not here to play." Duan Yao said, "I'll go find Blacksmith Wang." ”
Wang blacksmith is the best blacksmith in Dali City, Wang Cheng has seen the world, the materials are really good, the price is low, if you want to buy an iron pot, you have to order three months in advance, the bottom of the pot will also be engraved with a poem, it looks very cultured, quite popular with the big guys.
"Horseshoes?" Duan Baiyue asked.
"It's not." Duan Yao waved his hand, "I'll go and get a finger tooth." ”
"Why did you suddenly remember to use this?" Duan Baiyue frowned, "Don't want the Cloud Splitting Knife?" ”
"Of course!" Duan Yao's eyes widened, "It's not that I want to use it, it's someone else who wants to use it, Wu Sanlei." ”
Duan Baiyue: "......"
Who is Wu Sanlei?
Chu Yuan said: "A reckless man I met on the way, I wanted Yao'er to take him as an apprentice, but Yao'er didn't seem to be very willing. ”
Duan Baiyue's eyes suddenly turned cold.
Duan Yao was shocked and hurriedly said, "I'm particularly willing." ”
"Are you still unwilling to accept apprentices?" Duan Baiyue stood up, "Let's go, go and see what it looks like, if you refuse to accept it, I will teach him personally." ”
Duan Yao: "......"
Chu Yuan looked at the sky, it was still early, and it was okay to go to the barracks to take a look.
So the group left the house and went to the camp of the Chu army outside the city. The tent has not yet been fully set up, and it looks a little messy. Duan Yao stood on a high place and looked at it, and then said loudly: "Wu Sanlei! Come here! ”
Duan Baiyue followed his gaze.
Then I saw a strong man running over in the sky, and it seemed that with every step he took, the ground would sink a little.
"Master!" Wu Sanlei's momentum is like a rainbow, and his voice is like a Hong Zhong salute.
"This is my brother." Duan Yao stretched out his finger and pointed at his dear eldest brother, "He said he would take you as an apprentice." ”
Duan Baiyue: "......"
Duan Baiyue: "......"
Duan Baiyue: "......"
Duan Xiaowangye's elder brother, that is the famous King of the Southwest? Wu Sanlei gasped, feeling that he was about to be overwhelmed by a huge surprise.
Duan Baiyue coughed twice.
Duan Yao looked at him sincerely, this is the person you just said, you can't go back on it, take it away quickly.
Duan Baiyue said calmly: "What's your name?" ”
"Go back to the king of the southwest, in Wu Sanlei!" It was still a cannon-like voice, and I wanted to kneel as soon as the hem of my clothes was lifted, "Master! ”
Duan Baiyue: "......"
I didn't say that it was such an apprentice.
"Still don't." Chu Yuan said on the side, "Yao'er has not finished learning the kung fu she taught you, and it is not appropriate to recognize one more master, let's talk about this matter in the future, get up first." ”
"Yes." Wu Sanlei is very talkative, anyway, everyone's kung fu here is higher than himself, and no one suffers.
Duan Baiyue breathed a sigh of relief.
Duan Yao was aggrieved in her heart
