Chapter 010: Danger lurks
Out of the woods, Yizhen said to Qiyun: "You ran away this time, and I didn't say anything. When you go back to the Governor's Palace, you can't still dress up like this, it will cause some unnecessary trouble. You go wash your face with some stream water, get into the carriage and change your clothes, Lu Ying is waiting for you in the carriage. ”
Qiyun followed Yizhen's instructions, and took the stream water in his hand to wash the dust off his face. Boarding the carriage, served by Lu Ying, and changed back into a woman's clothes. Lu Ying is her maid, gentle and virtuous, in the Liu Mansion of Taiwei in Jiankang City, they have grown up together since childhood, and they are like sisters. Seeing that Qiyun was embarrassed, Lu Ying couldn't help but complain.
Liu Yizhen saw that the Buddha's leg was seriously injured and he could not ride a horse, so he invited him to get into the carriage together. Entering the car and seeing Qiyun who had changed into clean women's clothes, the Buddha was shocked for a moment.
Her eyes wandered and she smiled at him. The Buddha looked away and sat silently opposite Yizhen.
The carriage shook, and Liu Yizhen silently stared at the Buddha civet, without saying a word, his eyes were deep, and he couldn't see his emotions. And the eyes of the Buddha occasionally meet Yizhen, calmly opposite, calm and upright. Yizhen is not a person of many words, the Buddha is silent, and Qiyun is ashamed and silent.
The carriage was too quiet, Lu Ying coughed, and said to the Buddha: "You are such a strange person, our son saved you, and you didn't even say a word of thanks." ”
The Buddha's lips opened slightly, and he said, "Xie Luxie." Then he was silent. Seeing that his words were like gold, Lu Ying asked him, "What about your name?" We've got to know what to call you, right?
"Buddha."
"Buddha? Someone with that name? Lu Ying's eyes widened, and her face was full of disbelief.
"Midori Ying." Qiyun stopped Lu Ying and said, "Don't make a fuss. Although the civet refers to a type of fox, the animal can also be used as a human name. For example, in the past, the small character of Emperor Murong Chong of Yan Guowei was Fenghuang. ”
Yizhen also looked at the Buddha and asked, "Where are you from?" ”
The Buddha pondered for a moment and replied, "I am from Wei and live in Pingcheng. The tone was indifferent and concise.
Yizhen and Qiyun glanced at each other, and thought to themselves: This young man's eyes are sincere and do not dodge, although he does not tell his surname, but he does not hide his origin at all, which shows that his heart is open.
After being silent for a while, Lu Ying couldn't help but say to Qiyun: "County Lord, what do you think in your heart, how can you risk leaving Chang'an?" You don't know what to do, in the past few days since you left, the second son, who has always been calm, is in a hurry, and he is afraid that something will happen to you. Putting the mess aside and coming out to you is the first thing. At this moment, the Governor's Mansion has left Gongzi, and he still doesn't know what the chaos will become? ”
Qiyun listened, and squeezed her eyebrows apologetically at Liu Yizhen, and Yizhen reciprocated her with a warm and warm smile. She felt a little relieved and asked, "Brother Yizhen, you usually worry about those military and political chores the most." Some time ago, weren't you very at ease? Why do you suddenly have so much to do? ”
Liu Yizhen sighed and said warmly: "I led the army to Chang'an with my father to defeat Hou Qin. Originally, I, the Overseer, had been an idler. But not long ago, my father hurried back to Jiankang, leaving me in charge of Guanzhong to lead the Jin army, and I, the overseer, have now become worthy of the name. ”
Qiyun asked curiously: "You said that Taiwei Liu left you and hurriedly returned to Jiangnan, for what?" ”
Liu Yizhen took a deep look at her and said slowly: "Because the left servant shot Liu Muzhi's illness, if Liu Muzhi goes, my father is like losing an arm." My father was afraid that there would be no one in the court, and the villain would have power, so the class teacher returned to the court. Now I have received news that the emperor has crowned his father as the king of Song. ”
Qiyun wanted to congratulate Yizhen, but was preempted by the fast-talking Lu Ying, "Congratulations to Gongzi, congratulations to Gongzi." Maybe we're going to call Childe the son. ”
Yizhen smiled and said lightly: "The seal of the son, my father has his own opinions, and Lu Ying must not mention it." Yizhen's tone was not harsh, but when Lu Ying heard it, it was like the cold ice of the moon, and she said "no" softly, and she didn't dare to speak out anymore. Qiyun smiled at her with relief, and Lu Ying felt a little relieved.
The carriage stopped at the gate of the Chang'an Governor's Mansion. As soon as they arrived at the door, a guard came forward and said to Yizhen: "Second son, something is wrong!" The generals are waiting for you in the palace, waiting for you to give you ideas. ”
Liu Yizhen nodded, his footsteps did not stop, and led the crowd into the courtyard. Before he entered the conference hall, he saw several generals dressed in military uniforms and with solemn expressions walking forward quickly. The two generals led by him walked side by side, one with tiger eyes and a burly posture, and was the general Wang Zhenxi, who was captured in the famous earthquake pass. On his side, a slightly thin man was Shen Tianzi, a soldier in the army.
They are all capable generals under Liu Yu, the commander of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Now, Liu Yu led the main force of the Jin army to return to the south, leaving Wang Zhenwei, Shen Tianzi and other generals to assist Liu Yizhen to guard Guanzhong.
When everyone saw Qiyun and Yizhen, they all bowed their hands and said, "The second son is good, and the lord of Zhuohua is good." ”
Wang Zhenwei is the grandson of Wang Meng, the former prime minister of Qin. Qiyun saw that Wang Zhen was majestic and majestic, and his heart was really worthy of being the queen of the gate.
That Wang Zhen didn't wait for righteousness to say that he was not polite, so he stepped forward and said hurriedly: "Second son, the big thing is not good!" In the past few days when the second prince went out, the military situation in front was reported, and Helian Bobo, the king of Xia Kingdom, heard that the lord led the army back to Jiangnan, and only the prince led the army to garrison Chang'an City. Therefore, they have sent tens of thousands of elite cavalry to attack Guanzhong. ”
Yizhen listened to the military situation, pondered for a moment, and replied unhurriedly: "My Jin army also has tens of thousands of defenders in Guanzhong, and the city wall of Chang'an is impregnable. We should be able to defend it carefully, and we should be able to resist it for a while. ”
Wang Zhen seemed to be dissatisfied with the righteousness and was really leisurely and elegant, and said hurriedly: "Second son, that Helian Bobo is different from our previous opponents, and Emperor Ming Yuan of Wei is also afraid of him." What's more, his cavalry is elusive, and they are the great enemy of our Jin army. ”
Liu Yizhen saw that he was irritable and hot-tempered, waved his hand to temporarily suppress his anger, and said gently: "I will pay attention to the military situation that General Wang said." I wrote to my father and asked him to increase his army quickly. ”
Wang Zhen clenched his fists and was about to lead the crowd to leave, when he suddenly saw the Buddha and pointed at him and asked, "Second son, who is he?" ”
Liu Yizhen replied lightly: "He is a passer-by we rescued on the way to the suburbs." ”
Wang Zhen's evil voice suddenly rose: "Second son, at this juncture, you pick up a passer-by and come back?" Looking the Buddha up and down, he saw that he was more athletic and tall than southerners of the same age, and asked suspiciously, "Where are you from?" It doesn't seem to be Han Chinese? ”
When the Buddha saw that he was fierce, he turned his head away and ignored him. Wang Zhen was furious, bullied forward, raised the horsewhip in his hand and whipped it at the Buddha, "Okay, you stinky boy, the shelf is quite big." Today, General Ben will teach you a lesson......"
Seeing this, Qiyun didn't wait for his whip to fall, opened his arms in front of the Buddha, and smiled evilly at Wang Zhen: "General Wang, he is a native of Wei and lives in Pingcheng. We were on the way, and he was unfortunately chased and killed, and I was afraid that his life was in danger, so I begged Gongzi to save him. It's mine, so blame me. ”
Wang Zhenwei raised his eyebrows and glared at her: "If you are hunted down and killed, you will believe it, and you are not afraid that it is a trap set by Xia Guo?" The origin is unknown, at this moment, I'm afraid it's a fine work sent by Xia Guo, right? Someone, put this unknown boy in prison, and then wait until the battle is over..."
Qiyun asked Yizhen for help, and when Yizhen saw this, he frowned slightly, and said coldly: "It's just an injured young man, and he can't make any noise." Now that the cavalry of the Xia Kingdom is pressing the border, is it possible that you, a dignified general of the conquest, want to be entangled with him all the time? I think General Wang naturally understands best. ”
Seeing that Liu Yizhen's expression was a little displeased, Wang Zhenwei didn't want to save his face. So, he no longer dwelled on this matter, saluted and said goodbye, took his subordinates, hurriedly left the governor's mansion, and went to the military camp to deploy, but Shen Tianzi, who joined the army, stayed alone.
