Chapter Twenty-Three: Mingjun
Ling Xu let go of Xiao Mo and said stunned, "You...... You know it all? ”
"How long are you going to hide it from me?"
Xiao Mo sat up, took an herb from the bamboo basket, chewed it and applied it to the wound, and removed the muslin cloth on his wrist to wrap the wound. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although the scab on the wrist has been scabbed, the scar is clearly visible.
"He asked you to use blood as medicine, and you believed it?"
"If I don't believe me, you'll still be sitting here safely?" Xiao Mo gave him a blank look.
The forest was quiet, Xiao Mo was a little distracted, this person who was half an enemy was willing to fight for her, and the person she had worked hard to defend ended up giving her a glass of poisoned wine.
"It makes no difference between you and me whether I am the prince of the Yan Kingdom or the emperor." Ling Xu spoke, breaking the silence.
"That's what you think! Are the kings of the high states so self-righteous? Xiao Mo said coldly.
"I didn't deliberately hide it, you have also seen the situation along the way, the identity of the Emperor of Yan may not bring you and me safety."
Xiao Mo stood up and said lightly: "True or false, it doesn't matter, the king's status is precious, it's better to go back early." ”
"Xiao Mo, do you really mind so much?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
"Because ......" wanted to prevaricate the past, but Xiao Mo hesitated, she had done everything possible to know the truth about Yan Guo's framing of her father, that is, it was difficult to find out, and now that Yan Jun was in front of her, shouldn't she ask in front of her?
After thinking about it for a while, Xiao Mo said lightly: "Follow me." ”
Xiao Mo led Ling Xu to the top of the mountain, took a look at the mountains, looked at the majestic Yan Country border, and said with his eyes: "This is your country." ”
Ling Xu sighed: "Nominally." ”
Xiao Mo looked at Ling Xu in confusion, and Ling Xu then said, "Have you ever seen a monarch who has the leisure to go to other countries to have fun. ”
Xiao Mo was puzzled: "What do you mean?" ”
"The world of Yan is mine, and it is not mine." Ling Xu took out his waist card, and smiled faintly on his lips, "The imperial order is mine, but the jade seal is not." ”
Xiao Mo recalled that he had said before that it was King Yan Jing's idea to attack the Qi Kingdom, and now seeing him so helpless, could it be ......
Xiao Mo'e frowned slightly, and kept looking at Ling Xu.
From her gaze, Ling Xu roughly guessed what she was thinking, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "You guessed right, I am a nominal emperor, since I ascended the throne, everything in the Yan Kingdom has been decided by King Jing, and the queen mother simply gave him the jade seal." ”
"Then you don't know about Yan Guo's framing of General Qi Guoqu?"
Ling Xu looked at Xiao Mo: "Are you talking about Qu Feng?" ”
"The letter stamped with Yanjun's jade seal made General Qu unjustly imprisoned, didn't you do it?"
"I know about this matter, and I only know it, I also told Uncle Wen Wang that Ling Hao and Qu Feng are both warlike people, so why not be too anxious to fry each other."
Xiao Mo looked at the vast mountains and rivers of Yan Country in front of him, and tears blurred his eyes.
"What's wrong? Why are you crying? ”
Xiao Mo had tears in his eyes, was silent for a moment, and said in a calm tone: "It's none of your business." ”
"I, Ling Tianxu, do things above board, even if I am an enemy who has taken away the Xunzhou Mansion of my Yan Kingdom, I would rather fight head-on with thousands of armies than disdain to assassinate by trickery."
Xiao Mo glanced at him, his identity was fake, and his original name was also fake.
"Do you think it's a trick by me to frame the undefeated general of your Qi Kingdom?" Ling Tianxu raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I have long heard that Qu Feng is a hero in the eyes of your Qi people, and he is deeply supported by the people of Qi Kingdom, I didn't believe it before, but I didn't expect that even you would turn your face with me for this court matter, it seems that the rumors are true." ”
"General Qu died in prison, the thieves took advantage of the situation and poisoned the Qu family, and the disaster of the Zhenguo General's Mansion all originated from that letter, but all Qi people with a conscience will not be indifferent." Xiao Mo's tone was extremely heavy.
"Qu Feng is a rare general, you still don't believe it when I said that the emperor of your Qi Kingdom is mediocre, if he is a hero of my Yan Kingdom, he is indispensable to high-ranking officials, and he will never end up like this."
"Isn't it exactly what you monarchs are afraid of?"
"It is the luck of the monarch to make meritorious service to the minister, as long as he is loyal to the monarch and patriotic, how can he be afraid of it, but if he is selfish, it is another matter, but for the ignorant Qi Jun, even if he is not selfish, I am afraid that he will make something out of nothing."
Xiao Mo thought a little when she heard this, she was not worthy of sitting on the throne for the monarch, looking at people who looked like benevolent and righteous gentlemen traveling all day long, and the power was on the sidelines, she thought, Ling Tianxu may not be in this situation.
"If you really feel sorry for Qu Feng, when I get the jade seal back, I will definitely show Xue for him, but it is just a matter of a letter of state."
"Is it worth it for a courtier of the Qi Kingdom?"
Ling Tianxu said lightly: "For a person who attacked my Yan Kingdom, of course it's not worth it, in order to make you happy, it's worth it." ”
"It's a deal." A smile appeared on the corner of Xiao Mo's lips.
"It's a deal."
Dispelling their suspicions, the two stood side by side on the top of the mountain, at this moment the mountains and rivers were silent, and the cold wind seemed to be a lot warmer.
The root of this false accusation case is in Yan Kingdom, helping Ling Tianxu seize power is also helping the Qu family to clear their grievances, and if you overthrow King Jing and find out the truth, you can first return your father's innocence, and then it is not too late to return to Qi Kingdom to take revenge, it is better than letting your father continue to bear the stigma of treason.
Xiao Mo had already had the idea of staying to help him before, and now he had made up his mind.
"Are you willing to be General Qu Zhaoxue, should I stay and help you recapture the jade seal? King Jing doesn't seem to be an easy person to deal with. ”
"Are you really willing to stay?" Ling Tianxu was pleased.
"It's only temporary, and you've got to do me a favor."
"What? I can do what I can. ”
Xiao Mo looked into the distance and said slowly: "I know that your Yan Kingdom must have planted eyeliner in the Qi Palace, I want your people to help me take care of a girl, if I can take her out of the palace, it would be the best." ”
"Girls?"
"General Qu's youngest daughter, Qu Quanyu, she is in the Jingsi Palace."
"You wanted to go to Qi Palace just for this girl? Is she important to you? Why do you seem to be particularly interested in the composer? Ling Tianxu was puzzled.
In the eyes of people who don't know the truth, this is indeed a bit abnormal, Xiao Mo doesn't know how to answer for a while, unless he has something to do with the Qu family, otherwise ordinary people only feel sorry for the Qu family at most, how can they have the idea of doing everything possible to take care of the descendants of the Qu family.
Xiao Mo had an idea and said: "My surname is Xiao, and General Qu's wife is also surnamed Xiao, a person from Xunzhou Mansion, what do you say is the relationship between me and the Qu family." ”
"Could it be a relative?"
Xiao Mo quickly came up with a statement: "Qu Duanyu is my cousin, I also have a cousin named Qu Duhuan, before I found a letter written by my cousin at home, I knew the situation of the Qu family, and now that my cousin is gone, there is only one person left in the palace, not to mention that we are relatives, that is, people who have never known each other, for the sake of General Qu guarding the people of Qi for more than 20 years, I will also want to keep the only descendant of the Qu family." ”
"I have heard of Qu Duhuan, saying that she is the first beauty in Qi Kingdom, but it's a pity, it seems that I don't have the opportunity to see her true face in this life." Ling Tianxu sighed.
Xiao Mo lowered his eyes and shook his head lightly with a smile.
"She's your cousin, and it's a blessing to see you in this life, so I have no regrets." Ling Tianxu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I promise you that you will be as happy as possible, and I will try to take her to Yan Kingdom." ”
Xiao Mo arched his hand: "Thank you, Brother Ling." ”
