Chapter 26: The Xiling Rebellion
"No money. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Shen Qing replied dryly.
Lian Mo choked, and then remembered that the reward that Emperor Jing gave her was accepted by herself, and he didn't give it to her when he left.
He opened his mouth and said unnaturally, "Just now... It's me who is wrong, you come with me to the inn to stay. ”
Ling Yu's eyes were about to fall in shock.
Now he is 100% sure that the woman in front of him is Shen Qing, but he didn't expect this Lian Mo to be so spineless, this is the first time he has seen the indifferent and tall Mo Shizi apologize to someone, and the other party still looks like he loves to ignore it, and he has to sigh in his heart that it is really a thing to a thing, but it's a pity, if this Shen girl didn't get married.
Shen Qing didn't answer, but only asked leisurely, "Isn't the prince looking for someone?" ”
She pointed lightly with her hand: "Go in that direction, if you don't chase after it, I'm afraid you won't be able to catch up." ”
The two of them then remembered the purpose of this trip, Xiling City is now in chaos, and if there is any mistake in Xiling Hou, it is even more unoptimistic.
Lian Mo took out a money bag from his arms and stuffed it into Shen Qing's hand: "You go to the inn to rest first, and I'll be back in a while." ”
After saying that, he motioned for Ling Yu to chase in the direction she pointed. "Wait!"
Shen Qing called, Lian Mo's face showed a hint of joy, he turned around and looked at the woman in front of him gently.
Shen Qing was silent for a moment and then spoke: "Shizi, I have followed the agreement to treat the emperor, please return the rose brand to me." ”
The joy on his face cracked instantly, his fingers tightened, and he took out the small jade grain from his arms, and the jade-colored bead was handed to her with his temperature, and she reached out to take it, and signaled with her eyes that he could leave.
Lian Mo hurriedly turned around and left, covering the pain that flashed in his eyes, she was already a wife, how could she still be gentle with him, although she had already been prepared, but he was still trembling in the face of her deliberate unfamiliarity.
Ling Yu glanced at the woman in the cave, she was indeed beautiful, but the most beautiful thing was not her appearance, but a charm that made men want to smile all they could just for her, she just needed to stand there quietly, and all the light around her seemed to bloom for her.
There is only such a woman, even if she has become a relative, she can make people reluctant and unable to let go.
Shen Qing looked at the moonlight like water, she had spent the night in the mountains and wilderness for so many days, and now she didn't miss the inn so much, she called the horse that followed her all the way, and led it slowly towards the mountain, so that she could go slowly, and she should be able to get to Xiling City at dawn, and it would be the same to find an inn to rest well when the time came.
In a remote restaurant, Shen Qing sat in the corner of the lobby drinking porridge, and a bearded man next to him lowered his voice and said to a few companions around him: "Do you say that this barbarian really dares to enter Xiling City?" ”
Another person answered: "I don't think it's good to say, you said that this little Hou Ye bullied the people and robbed the people's daughters on weekdays, after all, there is the protection of the Hou Ye and the princess, but now it's good, he actually raped the princess of Xijiang, it is said that this princess is the most beloved sister of the king of Xijiang today, if you want your sister to be bullied, can you help her out?" ”
"This is not true, it is said that the imperial court has sent the prince of Zhao Wang to negotiate with Xijiang, but the result is still unknown?"
"Hmph, what's the use of a mere prince of Zhao Wang, Lao Tzu thought that no matter how he would send a prince or something, he would come over."
"You don't know this, the prince of Zhao is the only blood of the former prince, I heard my relatives in the palace say that this prince has been very smart since he was a child, excellent academics, very good at strategy, and is deeply favored by the emperor."
He looked around and carefully lowered his voice and said, "It is said that the emperor even intends to pass on the throne to the prince. ”
Several other people were shocked, "You can't talk nonsense, you can't lose your head." And there are so many emperors and princes, and several adult princes are very good, how can they not pass on their sons to their nephews?"
The man nodded, "Yes, isn't this just a few of us now, don't spread this word, otherwise we won't end well." ”
Shen Qing drank the last mouthful of porridge and went upstairs under the guidance of Xiao Er, the room was quite delicate and clean, and the living utensils were all available, probably because of the Chinese New Year, there were not many people who came and went to stay, which was in line with her heart, and she really didn't like the environment that was too noisy.
It's just that there are still a few days before the Lantern Festival, I don't know if the wind and clouds can now arrive in Xiling, she took out a blue rose, swept it lightly on the candle flame, the black shadow the size of a needle tip in the bead moved, she withdrew from the fire, put it on the table and waited for it to cool.
This is a kind of Gu worm, the name is dormant Gu, Gu is as its name suggests, it is dormant all year round, raised in jade grains, and only needs to be fed with a small drop of blood every month, the characteristic of this Gu worm is that there is a sense between the child and the mother.
As long as it is placed in the fire, it will wake up from its dormancy, and at the same time, the other Gu worm should be awake at the same time as its senses, and the person can find the location of the other Gu worm according to the direction it guides.
The danger of Xijiang was finally properly resolved, although the whereabouts of the Marquis of Xiling and the lord of Bailing County are still unknown, but Lian Mo has reached an agreement with the king of Xijiang, and the Marquis of Xiling Mansion will marry the princess of Xijiang with 100,000 taels of gold and 10,000 horses of silk as an appointment, and in order to show Jin Yao's sincerity, the lord of Bailing County will be married to the king of Xijiang as a concubine, and the marriage will be completed on a day after the lord of Bailing County returns safely.
Shen Qing was not too surprised by such a result, although the land and materials of the king of Xijiang were far inferior to Jin Yao, but the soldiers under his command were all brave and abnormal, and this matter was originally the fault of Xiling, if he did not make concessions, it would inevitably make the small country on the border pay tribute cold.
It's just that what surprised Shen Qing was why Lian Mo wanted Bai Ling to marry Xijiang, after all, she was still his fiancée, and she was also very affectionate to him, men, they are really selfish animals, in their hearts, women can be sacrificed at any time.
Xiling Marquis Mansion
Ling Yu took two balls of cotton from his ear and threw them on the ground: "This thing is really useless." ”
He turned his head to look out the window, "I said, Your Royal Highness, you really don't plan to meet your ex-fiancée?" ”
Seeing that Lian Mo turned a deaf ear, he couldn't help but shake his head, "It's really ruthless, the county lord of Bailing is also infatuated with you, and I, an outsider, can't bear to see it." ”
Lian Mo raised his head and glanced at him, "As the royal county lord, she naturally has the responsibility she needs to bear." ”
Ling Yu raised his eyebrows and smiled meaningfully: "Didn't the prince deliberately do it to get rid of her. ”
Lian Mo's eyes darkened, and his tone did not have a trace of warmth: "This is the condition that Xijiang took the initiative to propose. ”
Ling Yu smiled and plucked out his ears, if you really don't want Bailing to marry to the Western Frontier, I don't believe you will have no choice, but he dares to think about it in his heart, and if he punctures the excuse of this prince, he will not be able to eat and walk around.
