Chapter 207: The Wind Rises
Dong Rong was almost out of breath by the little girl, and finally relieved a little bit of strength and said, "Pour me a bowl of water!" ”
"Oh, well, ma'am, you wait a minute." Zizhu heard the master's words, which was really more beautiful than the fairy sound, she quickly wiped away two handfuls of tears and poured a bowl of water.
Dong Rong had a high fever for a long time, and her body was strict and short of water, so she drank two bowls before she stopped. Zizhu's eyes turned red again, originally Mrs. had to add fruits or flowers to a cup of tea, and when she drank white water, it was so sweet.
Dong Rong looked at the little girl like this, how could she not know what she was thinking, and sighed softly and comforted, "We are suffering this time, and it is already God's favor to be able to survive, where can we ask for more." ”
Zizhu remembered the dangers he had experienced in the past few days, and nodded heavily, "Madam is right, fortunately, His Royal Highness rushed to save us, otherwise that barbarian general would have sacrificed us to His Highness." ”
Dong Rong frowned and asked in a low voice, "Zizhu, you tell me carefully about the two days I have been in a coma." ”
"Okay, madam, I boiled white porridge, there are no pickles here, you deal with the cushion first." Zizhu's subordinates neatly put the tray brought in by Fang Cai next to the bed, and spoke carefully while waiting for the master to eat.
After drinking a bowl of white porridge, Dong Rong also added the missing memories of the past two days. Although she had not been exposed to too many power struggles in her past life and this life, she had heard some of Murong Huaide's words in the past few months in Kyoto, and she had some personal experience.
Therefore, she understood more clearly than Zizhu about the second prince saving the three of their master and servant to come back. When he traveled north to visit Brother Ping, Jin Beiwang said that he was chased and killed by the enemy and was injured. Now that his background is revealed, it turns out that he is the second son of King Khan, so it is very likely that the people who hunted him down were fighting for power, that is, brothers turned against each other. As for whether it was the eldest prince's hand, she couldn't be sure.
But she is also the Zhongshan princess of Daqi, and if the second prince wants to take her from the eldest prince, he must pay some price. In this way, her attitude was so cold, which was a bit excessive.
Zizhu saw that the master was distracted, so he quietly picked up the tray and went down.
Dong Rong slowly retracted into the warm fur futon, let out a long sigh, raised her eyes to look at the strange objects around her, and missed her home thousands of miles away, her relatives, her children, and most importantly, the man who loved her to the bone. If he was by her side, why would she weigh the pros and cons so carefully, just be a happy and joyful little woman.
It's a pity that the world is unpredictable, she is now sick in a strange place, and he doesn't even know that disaster is happening at this moment...
In the filial piety garden outside Kyoto, Mr. Feng got up early and played a set of rigid and soft Fufeng palms, which can be regarded as moving the bones of the old body.
Bingsan came in from outside the backyard, and when he saw this, he quickly took the cotton towel from the little boy and sent it to the old man with a smile, "Old man, your palm skills are really getting more and more refined, and the little ones are probably not your old opponents." ”
Mr. Feng wiped a handful of sweat beads and scolded with a smile, "You leather monkey, why don't you come to me crookedly if you don't follow your son's side?" It was very difficult for me to be pure for a moment. ”
Bingsan smiled and helped the old man to walk into the house, and replied aggrievedly, "Old man, you have to ask our son-in-law, the little one is sent by him to serve you." ”
Old Man Feng sat on the Taishi chair, raised his hand and took a sip of tea, and then asked, "Say, what is there to report so early, but the account books of a few big shopkeepers in the south have been delivered?" ”
Bing San slapped his forehead and said with annoyance, "I only cared about talking to you, old man, but I forgot important things." The account books of several big shopkeepers in the south have not been delivered yet, but the news has come from Qingxian, I wonder if the housewife is urging the son to go back earlier? ”
Old Man Feng glared at Bingsan and scolded, "You can guess about the master's affairs, be careful to punish you to go back to the dark camp to live for two months." ”
Bingsan hurriedly said to forgive, "Old man, the little one doesn't dare anymore, you always raise your noble hand." ”
Old Man Feng ignored him, reached out and picked up the small sealed bamboo pipe on the table and carefully inspected it, and then slowly disassembled. As a result, as soon as the messy handwriting on the note caught his eye, he stood up in shock, but he did not speak for a long time.
Bingsanyan quickly picked up a few ancient books on the table, and then quickly wiped the tea that the old man brought to the ground, and then asked suspiciously, "Old man, what's wrong?" ”
Old Man Feng's face kept changing, and finally he slapped the table and said angrily, "That's it, if I hide this matter, Huaide is afraid that he will never recognize me as a master again." ”
After that, he commanded Bingsan, "Go and get the rest of your brothers, quickly!" ”
It was the first time for Bingsan to see the old man so confused, so he threw down the ancient books in his hand and ran out, and soon several secret guards scattered around the garden gathered.
The old man buried himself in writing, and even put the envelope directly without waiting for the ink to dry, and finally looked at a few secret guards who were not too old, "There is news from the family in the north, a team of Northern Barbarian cavalry entered the orchard and plundered the princess, Jia Yi followed, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead. The three little masters are coming to Kyoto with Zhang Yang, and the prince still doesn't know about it, if he learns that he will definitely rush back to the rescue, he can't say that there will be a big turmoil at home, and even the entire foundation will be moved. Immediately send these letters everywhere, and then go to the palace to listen to the king's orders. ”
When the secret guards heard that the master's mother was plundered, their faces changed. They are not less secretly guarding on weekdays, and they are very clear about their son's love for his master's mother, and now that his mother is in trouble, his son must be furious, maybe not only for the palace, but also for the entire Daqi, this is definitely the biggest crisis since they followed the master!
"Don't worry, old man, we will swear allegiance to the prince!"
Old Man Feng nodded, and finally distributed the envelope to a few people, and finally stuffed Bingsan with a thick stack of silver tickets, "Bingsan, if you want to see the 'secret thorn' in the palace, tell him that no matter how much silver he spends, he must help the prince stabilize the emperor, at least he can't drag the prince back." ”
"Yes, old man." Bingsan and all the secret guards took the task on their knees, and finally turned around and went out, and soon there was no shadow.
Old Man Feng let out a long breath, but when he remembered how to tell his disciple the bad news, he frowned again.
Murong Huaide found an excuse to find some soft and delicious snacks for the imperial grandmother this day, and came out of the palace early. As a result, less than a moment after returning to the palace, I heard a report from the next person that the old man was here. He hurriedly took it out, but the old man pulled him directly into the small study.
"Huaide, something happened at home, you must be calm when you hear it."
Murong Huaide was pouring tea for the old man, and when he heard this, his heart suddenly began to beat wildly, "What's wrong?" ”
Old Man Feng swallowed his saliva and said stubbornly, "Five days ago, a pair of Northern Barbarian cavalry came in out of nowhere and plundered Sister Rong'er, and Jia Yi then chased after him, and there is no news back for the time being. But the three children are safe and sound, and Zhang Yang is escorting them to Kyoto..."
Murong Huaide didn't wait to finish listening, turned around and rushed out, "Group A and B will follow me, and Group C will stay!" ”
Old Man Feng smiled bitterly, "I knew it would be like this, this dead boy, and left all the chaos to me again." ”
Soon, the stables of the palace were empty, and the rumbling sound of horses' hooves ran down the street in front of the palace gate all the way out of the north gate, and countless traders and pedestrians dodged in panic, and finally broke their mouths and cursed. When the sharp-eyed man said that the person riding on the horse seemed to be the king of Zhongshan, everyone quickly shut up. This master is now a tyrant in Kyoto, not to mention just beating horses and crossing the street, it is not unusual for dogs to bite people.
However, the people are not unusual, but it does not mean that everyone is not unusual, especially the emperor in the palace. He originally recruited his nephew back under the condition that the Queen Mother was seriously ill, but he was afraid that he would do something far away in the north, so he was barely relieved under his nose after detaining him every day.
At this time, I heard a secret report from the city gate official that the king of Zhongshan went out of the north gate and ran away along the official road without a shadow, obviously leaving Beijing to return to the north, and the emperor was immediately so annoyed that he dropped the white jade cup in his hand.
"Presumptuous! Is there still me in his eyes! The Queen Mother is still seriously ill, who allowed him to return north? ”
An old eunuch wearing a brocade robe, a hexagonal gauze hat, and a floating dust in his hand was hurriedly walking in from outside the main hall. Isn't it a rabbit cub who waits carelessly, you tell the minion, and the minion skins him! ”
The emperor glanced at the old eunuch who had been serving him since he was a child, his face was a little better, and finally waved his hand to let a few trembling little eunuchs and palace maids out, and then said in a low voice, "Wang Lu, you say, am I treating the King of Zhongshan too leniently?" The official of the city gate reported that the king of Zhongshan rode out of the city and rushed back to Qingxian, but he didn't even come here to ask! ”
The old eunuch poured a cup of tea with a smile, carefully touched the teacup to ensure that it was not hot, and then held it to the emperor with both hands, and finally responded, "Your Majesty, since you asked, the old slave will have one more mouth." Although the king of Zhongshan is known as both civil and military, his body and appearance are good, but his character is somewhat lacking, and the people of Kyoto have nicknamed him Kyoto Yiba, which shows that the disgust is very heavy.
Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a little weak, he is benevolent and tolerant, and even the ministers of the court are full of praise, and he is much higher than the King of the Middle Mountain. Now, the Taoist of Longhu Mountain has entered Jindan again, and the old slave looks at the prince as much healthier, and the emperor really doesn't have to take a child like the King of Zhongshan in his heart. Perhaps, he returned to Qingxian on a whim this time, and he missed the red card in which brothel? ”
The emperor couldn't help but nod his head before, but he was most annoyed by the last sentence, raised his hand and scolded the old eunuch, "You old slave, you really dare to say anything now." ”
The old eunuch smacked his shriveled mouth a few times, and responded, "The old slave should be damned, he dirty the emperor's ears." ”R638
