Chapter 42: Conspiracy (1)
"Why is His Highness so interested in his brother Chu Shi?" After calming down, Helan Yueshi did not answer his question directly, but calmly asked Li Chengdao, no longer caring that the object of his inquiry was the prince of the dynasty. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Huh?" was stunned for a moment, and then Li Chengdao came to his senses and said leisurely, "Because I know that if you don't take action, then the Helan family will definitely be destroyed by Helan Chushi!" ”
Since the other party has the intention of being open and honest, Lee Chengdao simply said the key points, in order to have a chance to reach a consensus with this person.
"Your Highness, can you notice the clothes below?" His eyes flashed, then dimmed. After being silent for a long time, Helan Yueshi seemed to have no intention at all, but his expression was deeply convinced, and he said slowly.
"Plain clothes?" Hearing this, Li Chengdao reacted, remembering that this Helan Langjun was still wearing plain clothes when he approached the end of the year! And in the living room, he also told Samurai that his father had died a few days ago! Feeling something, there was a strange light in Li Chengdao's dark eyes - it seems that things are not as simple as he thought!
"Could it be that the illness obtained by Yueshi's Gao Tang is related to Helan Chushi's family affairs?"
"Does Your Highness know that Hou Jun Ji Hou Shangshu?" Still not answered, Helan Yueshi asked again a question that seemed completely irrelevant.
"Helan Chushi is married to Hou Junji's daughter, right?" Others don't know that they can forgive, but if Lee Seung-do doesn't understand either, then it's not a question of whether to forgive!
"What does Your Highness think of me?" They didn't seem to be on one world line at all, but on two parallel lines - Helan Yueshi didn't pay any attention to this highness's question, as if he was breaking a jar.
"Phoenix seeking phoenix?" Li Chengdao raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he understood something.
"My father was a soldier before his death!" Helan Yueshi continued to have this seemingly disjointed conversation with Li Chengdao.
"Then Hou Junji is His Majesty's confidant, and he is in a high position, so Ling Zun should be happy? How could it be like this? Although Helan Yueshi basically briefly described all the causes and consequences of the matter, Li Chengdao still didn't want to end there, because the current Hou Junji basically didn't make a mistake, so why didn't Lao Helan agree to this marriage?
"How much does Your Highness know about Hou Junji's character?" Helan asked rhetorically
"Small-bellied chicken intestines?" Li Chengdao realized: "Then Ling Zun does not agree to this marriage, Hou Junji will not directly trouble Ling Zun - after all, he is Ling Zun's direct boss"
"Aya said that Hou Junji is extremely selfish; He is too greedy for money and does not know how to restrain himself; And he is proud of his favor and has offended too many people! In the long run, it will inevitably lose everything, and even endanger the Nine Clans! Therefore, he often admonished Zai and Chu Shi to stay away from the military department and try not to have any contact with the Hou family! ”
"Ahem!" Helan Yueshi hurriedly poured another glass of water and slowed down for a long time before continuing.
"It's just that the father of the heavenly family, I don't know where the Hou family lady caught a glimpse of Chu Shi, and she fell in love at first sight! Go back and ask her father to come to the door to propose! 's father politely refused, who knew that Chu Shi was not filial, and privately made a lifelong agreement with the Hou family's wife, and married her when her father was seriously ill, causing her father to die of anger! Speaking of this, Helan Yueshi gritted his teeth, his eyes were red, as if he was a prehistoric giant beast ready to devour people at any time!
"In front of my father's funeral hall, my newlywed brother didn't even come back to see it!" After speaking, he sneered twice, then slowly closed his eyes, leaned back on the seat, and his arms hung weakly at his sides.
"And what do you want to do?" After a while, after Helan Yueshi's inner emotions calmed down, Li Chengdao asked slowly.
"It's over! It's over! Helan Yueshi naturally understood the meaning of Li Chengdao's words, but he still shook his head slowly, "Aya confessed, wait for half a year after the wake is over, cross out the name of Chu Shi from the family tree!" Let him fend for himself! He laughed at himself - and before A-Niang left, he confessed that he took good care of his brother!
"Do you think Hou Junji can make you get your wish?" After thinking for a while, Li Chengdao continued, "From the moment Ling Zun refused to marry, the Helan family had already gathered enmity with Hou Jun, so do you think he would just give up like this??" - No! Only when your Helan family is completely under his control will it be over-that is, the head and patriarch of the Helan family can only be Helan Chushi! ”
Maybe it's an exaggeration, it's actually alarmist, or it may be a good medicine, who knows!
“…… So it's not suitable to marry a samurai family in the next? Helan Yueshi's face changed greatly, and his already somewhat pale complexion was even more bloodless, coughing violently, and it took a long time to calm down, laughing self-deprecatingly, and then said coldly.
"Nope! So you need foreign aid! Lee Seung-do finally laughed happily, smiling proudly and presumptuously.
"Your Highness is saying?" Helan Yueshi said lightly, frowning slightly, not sure "You?" ”
"The condition is to voluntarily renounce the marriage contract with the samurai family?" Seeing that he nodded in affirmation, Helan Yueshi guessed again and asked.
"Hmm!" Li Chengdao nodded his head, "Not only to keep your Helan family, but I will also try my best to keep Helan Chushi - I don't think your Aya wants to see him under the Nine Springs, right?" ”
"Not only that, but with a promise from my Li Chengdao - the promise of the head of the Li family, as long as it does not violate the law and morality and is within the scope of my ability, I can try my best to help you fulfill it! Even if it's your marriage, I can ask Your Majesty to help you protect the matchmaker - of course whether it works out or not is another matter! ”
"Of course, the conditions must be added to you - you have to follow me to help me, and when the time comes, I will naturally let you go!"
"What do I need to do?" After a little thought, Helan Yueshi agreed.
"We'll see tomorrow!" Lee Seung-do left a suspense at this time......
"Your Highness can make Yue Shi miserable!" Recalling yesterday's situation, Helan Yueshi, who was smiling bitterly, unceremoniously picked up the tea on the table, and after quenching his thirst first, he complained half-jokingly.
"It's not over yet!" Under the mask, Li Chengdao pulled the corners of his mouth again, smiling like a fox......
By the time Helan Yueshi woke up, it was already about five o'clock in the morning, that is, the time of the Tang Dynasty.
The dawn in winter is much later than in summer, so the sky is dark outside the window at this time, and the cold wind of the wax moon is still whistling. Normally, at this time, he would get up and light the lamp to visit the next door, and then go to the study to read and review his homework, but he didn't need this today, and he probably won't need it in the future. So he closed his eyes and listened to the whirring sound and went on to sleep.
It's just that...... My head hurts!
Is this what a hangover feels like?
He lay on the bed, raised his hand and rubbed his head awkwardly, though not particularly standard, but it relieved the headache a little - but it felt really good to be drunk! Don't think about anything, you can even forget anything! I remember that on the day my mother died, my father was also drunk, right?
Your Highness has really sent a good thing to yourself!
Let's go back to sleep, there are still activities in the morning!
Thinking wildly, time was slept like this, and when the hour was about to pass, the sky gradually became clearer, but it was not as bright as he did, and he got up and pushed open the window, only to find that the dark clouds outside the house shrouded the sky, and then it rained lightly, and the sound of light raindrops falling on the bluestone slabs and falling on the eaves in the early morning came, mixed with the sound of the cold wind; Xu saw that there was a crack here, and the cold wind and drizzle rushed towards this side, bringing a burst of coolness.
They must already be in the hall preparing breakfast, right? He turned back to the bed, got dressed, and sat down at the window again, staring at the intermittent rain outside, and suddenly remembered the morning when it was raining lightly.
Just like many years ago, the room was lit with dim yellow lights, and after washing, I and my younger brother sat down together, clamoring to eat the hand-rolled noodles made by A-Niang! Aya still has to go to work, so there is no time to eat the noodles cooked by A-Niang! However, the fragrance of the noodles made by Xu is A-Niang made Aya feel at ease, and he gently flicked the back of his and his brother's heads, and then sat down and waited for A-Niang's noodles together.
That day, the family was chatting while watching the morning light rain on the table, and from time to time there were chattering and slapsticks between themselves and their younger brother. Until Aya went to work, everyone knocked on the head: "It's still making trouble!" The two of them just stopped playing.
That is one of the most vivid images in memory!
"Brother?"
Suddenly, outside the door, the little girl in green blushed and gently called out.
"Zhao'er Shimei?" Awakened by a slightly immature voice, Helan Yueshi, who suddenly came to his senses, only smiled slightly, and with his square and handsome face and slightly sad eyes, it made the little girl's pink little face even more red.
"Aya let me come to see the world brother~" Hearing Helan Yueshi call himself by his name, the second lady of the martial arts family lowered her head, as if she didn't want Helan Yueshi to see her red face, and maybe the dark and translucent eyes that were full of different lights.
"I was negligent!" Helan Yueshi turned around and opened the door, putting away his shallow smile, "Let's go, it just so happens that I also have something to talk about with Shibo!" ”
Here we go! You have to win!
Now that you have made me believe in you!
He seemed to change his name unintentionally, which made the little girl frown slightly, and her eyebrows moved slightly, but she quickly pursed her lips and smiled, "Brother Shi, let's go" said and led the way in front......
"Caomin Helan Yueshi greeted His Royal Highness King Yin, His Royal Highness King Shu, His Royal Highness Linchuan" As soon as he entered the hall, Helan Yueshi immediately saluted the three Li family members very formally.
"Helan Yueshi, the head of the Helan family, has seen the uncle of Shiboshi" and then he saluted the warrior Tong and his wife.
Such a serious expression and behavior naturally shocked everyone's originally laughing and cheerful atmosphere - everyone hid their smiles and looked at each other, even Li Chengdao was slightly stunned, and his eyes showed hesitation.
"Nephew Xian is polite!" Wu Shi Tong was also a little surprised and confused, and then seemed to remember something, glanced at Li Ke, who had been around his eldest daughter in the morning, and sighed silently, but he still had an interesting luck, and tentatively said, "Does the virtuous nephew have something to do?" ”
"Yes! The nephew has something to tell Shibo, and by the way, he wants the two princes to be a witness! Helan Yueshi sat opposite the warrior Tong by himself, as if he was doing business.
"What do you have to look like this, it makes the old man a little nervous~" Samurai Tong seemed to wipe the fine sweat from his head naturally and tried to pull out a natural smile.
"My father is unfortunate, he left a few days ago, and he didn't survive this year" Helan Yueshi raised his head and closed his eyes, "My Helan family is unfortunate!" ”
"His Royal Highness the Hidden King, the grass people have a poem about the scene at the end of the Sui Dynasty, please comment on it!" Only half of the above words were said, Helan Yueshi turned the conversation to Li Chengdao, and said with a light face.
"Tell me about it!" After a moment's hesitation, Li Chengdao chuckled.
"Although the soldiers and horses in front of the palace are strong, the arson is slightly the same as Qiang.
Hearing that the murderous man is on the water, most of the women are in the official army. ”
Without hesitation, the corners of Helan Yueshi's mouth hooked up a sneer, and he spit out a poem word by word.
And as soon as this poem came out, whether it was the people from the Li family or the warrior Tong and others from the Assassin Mansion, they were all stunned for a while.
Only Wu Zhao was radiant, and when he glanced at Li Chengdao, it seemed to be proud, as if he was proud.
"Fooling around with the stones!" Without waiting for Li Chengdao to react, Wu Shi Tong first said with a gloomy face: "Old man, you haven't woken up from last night's wine!" ”
The stern and unusual tone seems to be a sleeping volcano on the verge of erupting, and with the slightest stirring, it will erupt and harm others.
Helan Yueshi's words were not finished, so with a faint sentence, "Wu Shibo is a little restless, Yueshi will also have a poem for Shibo to appreciate in a while......"
"Your Highness hasn't tasted it yet! How, exactly? Directly plugging Wu Shitong's words in his mouth, Helan Yueshi once again pointed the finger at Li Chengdao.
Naturally, there is silence all around.
