26. Chapter XXVI
Out of Kunhe Palace, the relaxed and playful atmosphere around the King of Chu disappeared with the night wind, and he became the King of Chu with a high cliff and a commanding atmosphere.
Everyone has a myriad of faces, and the most authentic is always wrapped at the bottom.
It's just that before turning into the Chengong Yongdao, his footsteps stopped, the palace lamp was hazy, the night breeze was cool, his eyes showed warmth, and he took a look at the silky and soft handkerchief in his hand.
The smile on the corner of his mouth froze suddenly...... Faint, how can there be a smell of fish......
He frowned from afar, glanced at it twice, and threw it to the little eunuch beside him: "Wash it up." After a pause, he added, "With soft beans." β
The little eunuch didn't dare to ask more, and immediately went with a handkerchief in his hand as if he were facing a great enemy.
Only then did the king of Chu press his temples and walked to Zhu Zifang without hurrying.
The two people who had been waiting in the room for a long time had their own thoughts. The big Sima with gray temples has a proud beautiful hair, and he has to be bandaged with a special handkerchief every day when he sleeps, and at this moment, although he is still sitting here, the strength of his beard has fully explained the dissatisfaction of his master.
Yan Yin is under him, quietly being his beautiful man.
There was an uneasy air in the room, and even the candle flame crackled, and Yan Yin did not move.
The corner of Da Sima's eyes jumped twice, and he couldn't bear it after all: "I heard that Chu Gong said that he went to Kunhe Palace a few days ago, and Liang Shijia and Tan Yuanchun, but he entered the palace but was not summoned. Is there such a thing? β
Chu Gong, the three heroes of Chu Guotai Hospital, is the son and daughter of Da Sima, so it is not surprising that he knows about this.
But when Qi Guo was stupid, he asked about such a trivial matter, Yan Yin was a little curious: "There is indeed such a thing." Mrs. Jun is in a critical fever, and it is reasonable for the king to be anxious. β
Da Sima snorted, although he is close to the year of the Mandate of Heaven, but the maintenance benefits, it looks like he is only more than forty, he is already a leopard with a leopard head and eyes, and his eyes are slightly open at this moment, which makes people feel oppressed from the bottom of his heart: "The king is the king of Chu, not your brother-in-law, Qi people are Chen, Chen Chu is married, and you have a lot of work, Yan Yin, you have a lot of effort." β
Yan Yin frowned invisibly, and said with a smile: "The teacher's words are not understood by the students." β
Da Sima said coldly: "Do you really think that the things you are carrying on the old man's back are seamless?" Huangkou Xiaoer, he was born with such ambitions, did he forget the lessons of being in the Japanese army? Since the teacher can support ......" he gritted his teeth, and the second half of the sentence was never spoken, but it was also clear.
Yan Yin's face did not change, he straightened the hem of his robe, and said slowly: "Teacher, the student has something he has always wanted to say, but he has not had the opportunity to say it to the teacher. Although the student and the king have served under your command, this Jing Chu, although the national surname is Mi, the big clan has always been Jing. It's not so much that the teacher has fulfilled the king, why not say that the king has deigned to accept the teacher's affection......"
"Okay, good, good wow......" Da Sima's temperament did not fade with age, he was very angry when he heard this, his eyes were red, his cheeks trembled slightly, and he snorted three times in a row.
Yan Yin's eyes faintly swept the shadow of the palace lamp coming from the moon outside the door, and the ambiguous smile on his face was even worse, almost inaudible and added: "What's more, the teacher didn't help in vain." β
Da Sima was furious, his black face turned purple, and he slapped his palm on several cases, and his fierce momentum was about to come out: "Presumptuous!" β
Several teacups were shaken and jumped away, the lids trembled, and the water stains left sinuous marks on the table. The two inner guards next to the door couldn't help but tremble.
The two people in the room heard the voice of King Chu with a deep smile at the same time: "Teacher, why are you so annoyed, but Yan Yin doesn't listen to you." β
Da Sima stared at Yan Yin for a moment, and then he snorted two breaths from his nostrils: "The king's words are serious, and the old minister deserves the word 'teacher'. β
King Chu looked at Yan Yin, who was sitting with his sleeves brushed on the side, he tilted his head with a smile, looking innocent.
The king of Chu sighed: "If it weren't for the teacher who took it in that day, how could he be able to do it." The teacher's words made the students uneasy. Yan Yin, but what did you do and say some bastard things. β
Da Sima's expression was slightly relaxed, and his voice was still cold: "The old book has returned to the high pavilion, and the dragon has returned to the deep sea." The current state of Chu is the world of you young people, shouldn't the old minister say anything more? But the news received today made the old minister very uneasy. Now that he has retired, why is there still a wire report, these two sentences are really contradictory, and Yan Yin is silent.
The king of Chu strode in, sat on an equal side after greeting with Da Sima, and Da Sima's next voice also had feelings: "These two wire reports were placed in the Qi Palace by the first king, and after the death of the first king, they were taken over by the old ministers, who had been silent for many years, but they didn't want to know a terrible news a few days ago." Wang Shangke still remembers that a few days ago, on the occasion of the birthday of the Empress Dowager, the Qi people first sent people to send congratulatory gifts to repair the relationship between the two countries. The court and the central government all sighed at the king's posture of the sky, deterring the Quartet......"
The King of Chu nodded and motioned for him to continue, and Da Sima swallowed his saliva: "But, according to what Xi Zuo said, this time to send troops to Chen Guo is just a temptation of the Qi people, and this war has other more terrible purposes." β
"For what purpose?" Yan Yin asked.
Da Sima glared at him, and then looked at the King of Chu: "The secret letter sent was scribbled and only a few words, thinking that it was too late to finish writing, so I only sent it out in a hurry - I couldn't contact him again." β
The King of Chu's expression became stern, and Da Sima took out a small wax pill from his arms, and the originally transparent wax pill had turned a strange crimson.
Yan Yin's expression also became solemn, looking at the wax pill on that side, which was a color that could only be used in the army for special classified urgent items, which was already a deterrent in itself.
Seeing the expression of the King of Chu, Da Sima knew that he understood the severity of the situation, and immediately struck the iron while it was hot: "The king is kind-hearted and has always been affectionate, but feelings are not only the deepest fetters, but also the smoke clouds that are blind. Pro-virtuous ministers, far villains, the reason why this Chu is prosperous, pro-villains, far virtuous ministers, this female country is so decadent. After that, he was afraid that the King of Chu would not know who it was, so he glanced at Yan Yin fiercely.
Yan Yin touched his nose: "Teacher, the female country is declining because the army is not enough to resist the enemy." β
Da Sima frowned, and then heard the king of Chu scolding: "Bastard thing, unorthodox, the teacher speaks, what are you talking about!" β
Yan Yin let go and lowered his head and listened to the reprimand.
Da Sima was in a more and more cheerful mood, thought about it for a while, and finally said the rest of the words: "Your Majesty, Xin Nu has become the queen of the country, and now Chen Guomu and Xin are not on good terms, now that King Chen has made a move, the Xin family and son have been transferred to the Chen Qi border, and I heard that there is an epidemic there - this matter, Mrs. Jun will know sooner or later, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the king to do it at that time." β
The King of Chu sighed slowly, and the smile on the corner of Yan Yin's mouth had disappeared without a trace, and he interjected: "Teacher, you can rest assured, since Xin Nu is the queen of Chu, she should naturally put the interests of the Chu country first." β
This time, Yan Yin's reaction was a little incomprehensible to Da Sima.
The new tea was changed a few times, the moonlight was light, the guards on duty also changed a few stubbles, and the lights were on and off in the Zhu Zifang, and Da Sima finally retired, and there were only two people left in the room.
Yan Yin got up and walked forward, holding a candle in his hand, gently touching the picture of the mountains and rivers of the countries in the brocade screen, the candle flame rippled in his eyes, rippling: "I still remember that day in the army, you and I high-fived the oath, stepped across the hundred rivers, and blocked thousands of people with horizontal swords." β
After talking about the trick all night, the King of Chu looked tired, and at the moment he was more concerned about another matter: "Da Sima already knows that Xin Hui is your sister?" β
Yan Yin nodded, and the corners of his mouth raised a good-looking arc: "I didn't expect that the first person to know about this matter was the one who didn't want to do it." But I'm strange, since he already knows, then he also knows the rules of my Yan family, and has always only judged relatives based on paternity - how could I be so stupid as to think that I would forget my duty because of a woman? β
"However, since even he knows it, I think Prince Qi and that one already know it. Does the king really plan to leave the palace privately? β
"Let's talk about the visit of the Qi envoy first, but I didn't expect these two to come. The two of them came to Chudu in advance, but refused to show up. It just so happens that there is nothing to do, so it is not impossible to go out and meet in person. After all, that's also the widow's brother...... When my mother was forced out of the palace, the Qichu alliance broke down, and I only heard that my brother was tortured to death under house arrest, but I didn't expect that now he has become the number one strategist beside Jiang Ci. β
"Jiang Ci?" Yan Yin bit the word Ci and said with a smile, "But, it's not worthy of the name." β
The king of Chu also laughed, he stretched his waist, the night was long, and the emptiness was **.
Yan Yin stood at the top of the Baichuan map, that was where the county was located, far away from the Chu State, in the northernmost place of the Chen State, he stretched out his hand to touch it, and his finger was warm to the touch, but he heard the silent King of Chu behind him ask without a head or end: "ββJust now you said, 'What's more, the teacher didn't help in vain', what do you mean?" β
Yan Yin didn't know how to whisper like that, but he also taught him to listen, his eyes froze, but his voice replied lazily: "The position of the Great Sima can sit until now with the stupidity of Xi Hui, isn't it an extra reward given to him by the king?" β
The king of Chu looked at Yan Yinxin's long and lofty back, handsome and picturesque, he wanted to ask again, but he was silent. I just vaguely feel that this is not the answer.
While asking, his hand unconsciously flipped through the new gift list sent by Qi Ren, and when he turned to a certain page, he paused.
"The Qi people actually sent a giant tiger." He exclaimed, his voice coming alive.
Yan Yin heard a commotion from the landing platform behind him.
He turned his head and saw the king of Chu carrying a curved bow and preparing to go out.
"Your Majesty?"
"The widow thinks of something to do. You let Da Jizi send you out of the palace by yourself. "Da Jizi is the uncle of Xiao Jizi's father-in-law.
After that, the figure of the King of Chu had disappeared into the night.
The morning light has not yet shown its clues, except for the patrolling guards, the palace is quiet and picturesque, but at this time, a person in Kun and the palace with swollen eyes and long hair is being forcibly dragged up from the bed.
"Miss!" Meiya struggled to drag the groggy Xin Hui away from the warm bed, "The king has been waiting for you for a long time. If you don't get up again...... she lowered her voice, "the king will come in and invite you himself." β
Xin Hui's eyelids jumped, his body stiffened, he was silent for a moment, and almost gritted his teeth and asked: "Your Majesty, what ......is the matter?" Uncle Hey, it's not yet Yin, the chickens haven't crowed, and they are still divorced from their wives when they catch fire, can't they wait for a moment?
"The king only said that there is something very important...... "Meiya said, "Miss, you better go out and see for yourself." β
Xin Hui held back his stomach to get up and dark circles under his eyes, and went out of the dormitory when he was unprecedented, and sure enough, the King of Chu was standing in the outer side hall with his hands in his hands, and when he saw her come out, he couldn't help but show a slightly smug expression, and then forced himself to say indifferently: "The widow is fine, and I remembered that there was a gift to be given to you, so I went to get it." β
After that, he kicked a tightly wrapped cloth bag under his feet, and wrote in his eyes attentively: Open it up and look at it, don't be too surprised.
Xin Hui cheered up and looked at him, and then at the bulging bag on the ground. However, he stirred up a trace of curiosity, and looked down at the big package.
So, under the encouragement of King Chu's attentive gaze, she slowly opened the cloth bag, and the fine brocade would also lose color, and her hands were also stained a little, like Xin Hui peeling garlic, one layer, two layers, three layers, four layers......
Finally, she saw a fresh, intact tiger skin, lying bloody at the bottom of the bag, and an arrow from the tiger's eye was running out of it.
She turned her head stiffly, and saw that the King of Chu seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and his face was obviously indifferent, with a capital "ask for praise" on it.
I still remember last night's words......
- "But he was lucky, and the arrows were a little more accurate. An arrow pierced the eye of a hungry tiger......"
- "It's so young that I can ......" Her emotion at that time was genuine, and the "I can, I can" on his face was about to come out.
You really can. Hehe, boast? Is it okay to praise your whole family?
