Chapter Eighty-Three: Sympathy
The patriarch of the Rota tribe didn't know who the royal sister that Prince Sumeng was talking about, so he looked around a little ignorantly, and Shi Li said: "It turned out that His Royal Highness the prince arrived, and the glory was shining, which was really the glory of our Rota tribe." However, the royal sister mentioned by His Royal Highness the prince, the patriarch really didn't see it. ”
Seeing that the patriarch said that he didn't see it so quickly, Prince Sumeng thought it was a prevarication, and said with some displeasure: "The patriarch is a busy man, the tribe is so big, there are hundreds of tents where the clansmen live, if there is a stranger hidden in someone's tent, the patriarch may not know." ”
Hearing Prince Sumeng's tone, the tribal patriarch felt as if he thought that his own clan had hidden his royal sister, and explained: "Your Royal Highness, although there are many people in our Rota tribe, I promise that no one will hide women casually, please rest assured that His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
When Prince Sumeng heard the patriarch's assurance, he refused to believe it, but he felt that the tribe was so big, and it would be troublesome to search one tent after another, so it was better to persuade the patriarch to help and hand over Wang Mei as soon as possible, so he was patient and explained: "Patriarch, the disappearance of my Wang Mei is not only a matter of life, but also related to the lifeblood of the country!" ”
When Prince Su Meng said this, he took a step forward, lowered his voice and continued: "I can't hide it, my royal sister is going out of the palace this time to prepare to make peace with the Xuanyuan Dynasty, if our Tanjiang Kingdom unilaterally breaks the contract, it will inevitably affect the friendly exchanges between the two countries." ”
When the tribal patriarch heard that the matter was very important, he didn't dare to take it lightly, and asked: "His Royal Highness the prince said this, the patriarch understands that the matter of searching for people cannot be delayed, but I don't know why His Royal Highness the prince insists that your royal sister is in our tribe?" ”
Prince Sumeng suppressed his temper and asked, "This morning, the send-off team suddenly encountered a heavy thunderstorm on the way, and my royal sister's carriage was probably frightened and scattered because of the lightning strike, and there was no trace. The Rota tribe is the closest to the place where the accident happened, and of course you are the most suspicious here. ”
"Okay, this patriarch will find someone to investigate, His Royal Highness the prince waits, it is better to sit down and drink a bag of our tribe's special goat milk wine, relieve fatigue, refresh your mind, and greatly benefit your health."
"No need, this prince is not used to eating and drinking strangers' things casually, so it is important to bother the patriarch to find someone quickly." Prince Sumeng urged, standing on the ground, he didn't even bother to sit on the wooden pier.
Princess Jin'er hid on the lookout, her palms were sweating with nervousness, she suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly approached Xuanyuan Mingyu's ear, and said, "Oh no, my maid Xiaolian is still in the crowd at the bonfire party, will it be discovered by my brother Wang?" ”
Xuanyuan Mingyu asked, felt that this matter was indeed worrying, and hurriedly looked down from the lookout, and saw that the bonfire was surrounded by black people who came to participate in the party.
Princess Jin'er panicked, and suddenly remembered her carriage, knowing that Mu Shuo had unloaded the carriage and led the horse to the manger to drink water and feed the grass, but the vehicle was still parked behind the haystack in the stable, as long as careful people passed by, they would find out.
Princess Jin'er felt that her traces were about to be exposed soon, and she was very unhappy to follow Brother Wang to make peace, so her eyes were red with anxiety, and she said in a coquettish voice: "Prince Xuanyuan, what should I do?" Help me, I don't want to make peace with Brother Wang. ”
Xuanyuan Mingyu couldn't bear to feel sad about Jin'er, and comforted: "Don't worry, they can't find this place for a while." ”
"But my carriage will be exposed." Princess Jin'er said anxiously.
Ren Zhen was also anxious and said: "Yes, we patronized people and hid and forgot about the carriage, we should remind Brother Mu that it was my fault that the carriage was also hidden." ”
"I don't blame you, Second Miss, who would have thought of so many details in a hurry just now? Don't worry, you two, I'll go down and deal with it as a last resort. Xuanyuan Mingyu persuaded.
"Master Xuanyuan, what should you do if you go down? His Royal Highness the Prince will not give up. Ren Zhen asked worriedly.
"I think, while the prince and they haven't found the carriage and Xiaolian, I'll go down to deal with them, and say that I once saw Princess Jin'er go west on the road, take them away first, and then let's find a way to get out of here."
"Is that okay? Will Prince Xuanyuan be in danger? Princess Jin'er wrung the corner of her clothes with her bare hands, suddenly fanned her eyelashes, and asked uneasily.
Xuanyuan Mingyu smiled and comforted: "I think it can be done!" Rest assured, you two will send them away soon. Second Miss, you promise me to take care of Princess Jin'er and don't let her be impulsive. ”
"Okay, Master Xuanyuan, if you think it can work, I don't have a better way, why don't you try it first?" Ren Zhen had no choice but to agree.
Xuanyuan Mingyu nodded, stood up, and felt that his legs were a little weak after sitting for a long time.
He took a deep breath, leaned on the railing of the lookout, stood firm, refastened his belt, endured the faint pain of his back, and quietly walked down the ladder step by step.
The tribal patriarch was whispering to Mu Shuo and a few others outside the crowd, and when he looked up, he suddenly saw a young man dressed in his own clan costume walking over, bowing and saying, "Hello patriarch, what happened?" Can I help? ”
The tribal patriarch was very surprised, this young man had a very strange face, not like his own clan, but he was wearing the clothes of his own clan, and asked in surprise: "Young man, are you?" ”
"My surname is Xuanyuan, I just came to your tribe at noon today, I didn't expect to cause you trouble, I apologize."
Mu Suo also followed up and introduced: "Patriarch, he is the young man I just mentioned. He lost his memory due to injuries and couldn't remember his past. ”
"Really? Teenager, do you have amnesia? Don't be afraid, this patriarch can help you with this problem, and after the bonfire party is over, the patriarch will help you recover your memory with the secret art of the clan, do you think it's okay? ”
When Xuanyuan Mingyu heard that the tribal patriarch could help him recover his memory, he felt hopeful and said, "Of course it's good!" Thank you Patriarch, you can help me recover my memory the best, thank you enough! I was deeply misunderstood by Miss Qin, and I really hope I can make everything fall into place. ”
"Who is Miss Qin? If she misunderstands you, the patriarch can explain to her on your behalf, and you must always be reasonable, not messing around. The patriarch will try his best to convince her that your injury and amnesia are already painful, and it will be even more painful when you are misunderstood, please understand her. The patriarch said charitably.
Xuanyuan Mingyu listened to the patriarch's heartfelt words, and was very moved, it was rare that the patriarch understood the righteousness, and was willing to believe that he was innocent, thanked him again and again, and said: "Patriarch, thank you for your great mercy and compassion for my sake, I can't affect you." Prince, I will take care of the fact that they have come to find someone. ”
Mu Shuo hurriedly asked, "What are you going to do?" ”
Xuanyuan Mingyu turned to Mu Shuo and said, "I'll go and tell the prince that on my way back at noon, I saw the princess's carriage going west. ”
"Prince, will they believe what you say?" Mu Shuo asked uneasily.
"If what I say is true, what reason do they have not to believe it, prince?" Xuanyuan Mingyu was actually not sure in his heart, but this was the only way to save Princess Jin'er, and at the same time, it could also allow the Rota tribe to get out of trouble as soon as possible.
The patriarch is very old, and he has read countless people, and when he heard that Xuanyuan Mingyu meant to relieve the tribe's difficulties, he said with emotion: "Young man, you are so kind in your heart, poor and amnesiac, lonely, this patriarch really wants to climb high and accept you as a righteous son." ”
Xuanyuan Mingyu was also moved, facing the patriarch as if facing his own relatives, and said: "Patriarch, if the two of us can be father and son, it is really heaven with eyes." However, not yet, I hope that everything will wait until I regain my memory, and if I can prove my innocence, I will recognize the patriarch as my stepfather, and everyone will be happy then. ”
"Good boy, you're right, just do it." The patriarch is also looking forward to it, since the death of the patriarch's wife, he has been living alone, with no children and no daughters under his knees, and he is very lonely, wouldn't it be good if he could adopt a kind young man to be his own son?
Mu Shuo saw that the patriarch and Xuanyuan Mingyu sympathized with each other, and said jokingly: "If you want to recognize the righteous father and son, I also want to join in the fun, I don't know if it's okay?" ”
The tribal patriarch knew that Mu Shuo was an orphan and the first warrior of the grassland, and if he could accept him as a righteous son, his face would be more glorious, so he laughed and immediately agreed.
Xuanyuan Mingyu nodded and said, "Brother Mu, that's too good, I can't ask for it." ”
Mu Shuo is a real person, and he feels that he and Xuanyuan Mingyu are going to be accepted as righteous sons by the patriarch, so won't Xuanyuan Mingyu become his own righteous brother? He didn't care about the matter, he immediately changed his name, and said with a happy smile:
"Second brother, it's really fate, I and you have come together step by step, become brothers, and we will not separate each other in the future."
Xuanyuan Mingyu was also very happy and wanted to say more, but his breath was not smooth for a while, he coughed a few times, and his wheezing did not stop.
Mu Shuo knew that Xuanyuan Mingyu had an injury on his body, and remembered that he had fed him a pill last night, and said, "Second brother, are you wounded and painful?" I still have pills here, you take another pill. ”
Xuanyuan Mingyu wanted to say thank you, these precious healing pills were already the second time he had taken them, and Mu Shuo provided them for himself completely free of charge, worthy of being the best brother in the world.
Xuanyuan Mingyu took the pill, put it in his mouth and swallowed it, and said, "Patriarch, Brother Mu, I'll go and deal with the prince's affairs, and I'll talk about it when I come back." ”
"Okay, be careful, be cautious when talking to His Royal Highness the Prince, don't annoy them, just improvise." The patriarch instructed.
Mu Shuo knew that Xuanyuan Mingyu was about to face the risks, and it would make His Royal Highness the prince angry! Because only he and Xuanyuan Mingyu knew that Princess Jin'er was hiding on the lookout, and now that Princess Jin'er had another place to go, would Prince Sumeng believe it?
