After a glass of wine, Hu Qitu felt much warmer on his body, and laughed at himself: "Sure enough, the men on the grassland still have to rely on wine to keep out the cold!" ”

"Miss Ruyan, do you want a drink?" Chu Yang asked with a smile. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Yu Ruyan looked at the way the two of them surrendered, and it was not good to spoil the atmosphere, and said, "Okay, I'll have a drink too." But I'm very bad at drinking, so I'm afraid I'm going to spoil everyone's interest. ”

Chu Yang poured a small glass of wine for Yu Ruyan, and said with a smile: "Miss Ruyan, where is this?" ”

"Sure enough, it is a good wine in the Central Plains, the wine on our grassland, this wine is mellow and fragrant, and it is really good." Hu Qitu exclaimed.

Chu Yang said boldly: "If the Great Khan likes it, I will give you a few jars when I leave." ”

"Hahaha!" Hu Qitu smiled and said, "General Chu has a bold temperament, I like it below!" We prairie people make friends by drinking! General Chu, a friend, is here! ”

Chu Yang also smiled and said, "Great Khan, you are also my friend Chu Yang!" ”

"Good wine." Yu Ruyan couldn't help but praise, "General Chu really took the Great Khan as a friend, and he really didn't hide his secrets at all." ”

Hu Qitu said with a smile: "Yun Ruo, I think General Chu is giving you face, so he didn't hide his secrets." ”

Chu Yang said with a smile: "Today's Chinese New Year's Eve, I am also happy in my heart, and I have made such a friend as Da Khan, how can I hide my secrets?" I'm about to return to Beijing after the New Year, and I don't know when we'll see each other again. ”

"Why is the general suddenly going back to Beijing?" Huqitu asked.

Chu Yang explained: "When I was transferred here, he said that he would let me go back when the spring began this year, and it was estimated that it would be soon. And the sister is about to give birth, maybe when I go back, I can see the little nephew. ”

"Really? That's really going to congratulate General Chu! Huqitu smiled and said, "Come, I'll give you another drink!" ”

Yu Ruyan smiled and said, "If General Chu doesn't say it, I almost forgot it, General Chu, I also toast you!" ”

"Cheers!"

"Cheers!"

The three of them drank and talked until late.

"It's late at night, I don't want to bother anymore, you guys rest, I'm going back too." Hu Qitu got up and said.

Yu Ruyan looked at the sky outside, and said with some worry: "Great Khan, it's snowing heavily, and it's so late, why don't you spend the night here for the time being." ”

"Yes, Great Khan, I'm afraid there will be danger on the road when I walk now." Chu Yang said, "There are only two hours left before the sky dawns, so let's go after dawn." ”

Hu Qitu looked at the two of them, nodded with a smile and said, "It's okay, I don't care about these two hours." Yunruo, I'll send you back to rest. ”

Yu Ruyan nodded, Chu Yang looked at the back of Hu Qitu who accompanied Yu Ruyan to leave, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. With such an affectionate man to accompany her, I wonder if Yu Ruyan can get out of that shadow?

"Come in, it's so cold outside." Hu Qitu sent Yu Ruyan to the door of the room and said.

In the snow, Yu Ruyan's face was flushed, perhaps because of the wine, Yu Ruyan's eyes were blurred, so it took Huqitu a lot of effort to control his urge to hug her.

"You also rest early, and walk slowly on the road tomorrow." Yu Ruyan said, turned around and went back to the house.

Huqitu stood outside the door, watching the lights in the house be blown out, before leaving in a huff.

The cold winter is coming to an end, and it's time for spring to bloom again. The pace of spring on the grassland is still a little slower.

On this day, Yu Ruyan was tending to the flowers and plants, Chu Yang knocked on her door with a serious face, and said, "Miss Ruyan, someone wants to see you." ”

"Who's coming? Is it the Great Khan? Yu Ruyan asked.

Chu Yang shook his head, Yu Ruyan saw that his expression was solemn, and her heart was worried, and she followed Chu Yang to his room.

"Let's go inside." Chu Yang said in a low voice.

Although Yu Ruyan was inexplicable, she still followed Chu Yang into the house, and as soon as she entered, Yu Ruyan suddenly felt like five thunderbolts.

"The sinners see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live." Yu Ruyan still settled down and said.

Zhao Wenzheng sat in front, and Xiao Feiqing stood beside him.

"Let's be flat." Zhao Wenzheng said lightly, "The scholar is so elegant, when did the garrison on this side of the pass become a flower garden?" I don't know when on the grassland, those Hun children also began to open their mouths and shut their mouths? ”

Chu Yang wanted to help Yu Ruyan explain, but he heard Zhao Wenzheng say: "You two go out first, I have something to say to the scholar." ”

"Yes." Xiao Feiqing withdrew from the room with Chu Yang, and stayed outside after bringing the door, leaving only Yu Ruyan and Zhao Wenzheng in the room.

Zhao Wenzheng opened his mouth and asked, "How are the scholars?" ”

Yu Ruyan lowered her head and said: "The sinners are not worthy of the title of scholar, how could the emperor suddenly come ......?"

Zhao Wenzheng said: "In my heart, there is no sinner, you are still a scholar, and you are still a peerless national warrior in my heart." ”

"The sinners don't understand what the emperor means......" Yu Ruyan said.

Zhao Wenzheng said: "Do you think I am really so ruthless, demoting you to Tongguan, and then sending you to Mobei to suffer? Have you ever wondered why I did this? Why are you here today? At that time, you were taken captive by Huqitu, why did I exchange you with 200,000 stone of grain? The university scholar is extremely smart, and he really didn't doubt it? ”

Yu Ruyan said truthfully: "Back to the emperor, the criminals actually had suspicions, but they didn't figure out why. ”

Zhao Wenzheng sighed: "It's not that you haven't figured it out, you don't want to think about it." Actually, you still hate me in your heart, it was I who gave Tang Yunluo to death, right? So you deliberately avoided it, and you didn't want to think about things related to the capital, officialdom, and me, right? ”

Yu Ruyan was dumbfounded by Zhao Wenzheng's series of questions, Zhao Wenzheng's words were not speculation, and he really no longer wanted to know about the imperial court.

Zhao Wenzheng sighed: "Frankly speaking, I do have a place where I can't stand you. But I was really forced to be helpless at that time. Scholar, I hope you understand me. ”

"The sinners dare not complain." Zhao Wenzheng said.

Zhao Wenzheng was silent for a while before he spoke: "I won't ask you anymore, just tell you what I mean." Scholar, I hope you will do your last bit for Chen Guo. ”

"The sinners don't know what the emperor wants the sinners to do." Yu Ruyan said.

Zhao Wenzheng sat down and said slowly: "I don't say it, the scholars also know that the Chu State is a cicada, and it is cloudy and rainy in my Chen State, almost subverting the century-old foundation of my Zhao Dynasty. A tooth for a tooth, why can't I, Chen Guo, install eyeliner in Chu State? I hope you can go to Chu for the sake of Chen, the first emperor has left an edict, I hope you will help me again. Scholar, you will go to Chu for a few years, and when the time comes, I will definitely let you go, and the ends of the earth will follow you. ”

Yu Ruyan said: "Your Majesty, the cicada has been lurking in my Chen country for decades before it has planted its power inside and outside the court. Sinners ......"

Zhao Wenzheng explained: "I know what you want to say, and you can't stay in the Chu State for decades like the spirit cicada. I want you to do fine work, but I don't want to place you in the court. Li Shi has already arranged for you to be placed in the house of Qin Yuan, the powerful minister of the Chu State. You have been in the dynasty for many years, and you should know the situation in the Chu State. ”

Yu Ruyan said: "Yes, Qin Yuan is a powerful minister of the Chu State, but he is also a nepotistic minister. Qin Yuan relied on two sisters, one was the queen and the other was a concubine, recruiting guests in the Qin State and making a fortune. ”

Zhao Wenzheng nodded and said: "The scholar is indeed the minister of the humerus in the court, and the peerless scholar of me." The state of Chu relies on the foundation of its ancestors, and the hundred-legged insects die without stiffening, but the state of Chu is extravagant and the traitors are in charge, which is a good time for us to shake the foundation of the state of Chu. The emperor of Chu is deaf and incompetent, favoring the traitorous minister Qin Yuan, a scholar, as long as you live in the Qin Yuan Mansion and spy on you. ”

"Is it just surveillance?" Yu Ruyan asked puzzled.

Zhao Wenzheng said: "Of course not all, Qin Yuan is an important minister of the Chu State, you must pull him into the water." Without the ministers, I think the emperor of Chu who likes to be sensual, what else will he use to fight with me Chen Guo? Don't worry, I'll secretly send someone to protect you. ”

Yu Ruyan whispered: "With such a heavy responsibility, the criminals are afraid that they will not be able to bear ......"

"Don't be presumptuous." Zhao Wenzheng said, "I said that if you can, you will definitely be able to." What's more, even if it's not for Chen Guo and Tang Yunluo, don't you want to go? ”

Hearing Tang Yunluo's name, Yu Ruyan's body couldn't help but tremble, and asked, "Your Majesty, what does this matter have to do with Yunluo?" ”

Zhao Wenzheng said: "Scholar, the origin of everything is the rumor in the capital at the beginning. Because the rumors say that I want to make you the queen, saying that you and the first emperor and Tang Yunluo are not clear, but have you ever thought about who would create such rumors? The queen is the mother of a country, shouldn't I think about who to ornate as the queen? Why after I was elected, I thought about it for a long time, and there were such unbearable rumors, have you ever wondered why? ”

"What does the emperor mean that someone deliberately framed me on the pretext of establishing the queen?" Yu Ruyan asked.

Zhao Wenzheng nodded and said, "So, even if it's for Tang Yunluo, you have to go to Chu State." As long as you can get rid of Qin Yuan, I will use the power of the country, and I will also find out the people who hurt you with evil words at that time. ”
