Chapter 55
On the morning of the second day, the emperor again brought up the matter of suppressing bandits.
This time, King Jin did not compete, but strongly recommended Chu Yunxi.
"The sons are incompetent." Chu Yunxi lowered his head and shirked the matter.
She is not a fool, the queen asked King Jin to recommend her, and she was definitely not well-intentioned. It's just because she got the opportunity to suppress the bandits, so King Jin had a reason to follow. King Jin, who can't do anything else, is familiar with stabbing people in the back.
Chu Yunxi thought, his eyes darkened slightly.
The matter of suppressing the bandits finally fell to King Xing. King Xing's eyes when he looked at Chu Yunxi were full of deep meaning. Chu Yunxi was much smarter than he imagined.
"This time to suppress the bandits, the younger brother is alone, I'm afraid I can't deal with it, is the imperial sister willing to go with me?" When he went down to court, King Xing found Chu Yunxi.
"How does the Fourth Emperor Brother think that this king will be willing to go with him?" Chu Yunxi raised his eyebrows and looked at King Xing.
"This king can grant you the position of lieutenant general." King Xing offered an attractive condition.
The temptation of the adjutant general to have the right to mobilize half of the army and half of the military power is really not small.
Chu Yunxi darkened his eyes, King Xing's move was very big.
"The emperor's brother looks up to this king." Chu Yunxi restrained his feelings, smiled faintly, and said, "I am most afraid of bloodshed in my life, rather than doing such a thankless thing, this king would rather be free with the princess." ”
Chu Yunxi and Xia Fenglan's affairs in Qionghua Palace were not hidden from others, and everyone was saying that King Jing was ridiculous.
"It's this king who looks down on you." King Xing said words of disappointment, but his eyes were unblinking, staring at Chu Yunxi tightly, trying to see something in her eyes.
It's just that, from beginning to end, Chu Yunxi's expression hasn't changed much, and he is calm and waveless.
"If the royal brother has nothing else to do, this king will leave first." After Chu Yunxi finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Looking at Chu Yunxi's back, King Xing darkened his eyes.
Chu Yunxi hooked the corners of her mouth mockingly, how did she not know King Xing's plans. Adjutant general, it's just nice to say. As the main general, King Xing can easily override her.
As long as she and King Xing went to the battlefield together, there would be many people who would naturally group them into one party.
The relationship between her and King Jin was already cracked, and after this incident, I am afraid that it will be completely torn apart, King Xing and others, it is estimated that this is it.
"How's the banditry going?" Xia Fenglan shook the coat that Chu Yunxi had taken off and hung it on the screen on the side.
"King Xing has already been sent." Chu Yunxi hugged Xia Fenglan's waist from behind and said, "You can travel the day after tomorrow." King Xing really thought that he would ask me to be his lieutenant, and he was not afraid that I would stab him to death with a knife in the back. ”
"You're going to stab it." Xia Fenglan smiled, turned around, hooked Chu Yunxi's neck, and said, "If something happens to him, you, as a deputy general, will bear the brunt of suspicion." He's expected it, and you're not going to do anything to him. ”
"Heh," Chu Yunxi chuckled, lowered her head and kissed Xia Fenglan's ruddy lips, and said, "Fenglan, you still know me best." I can't stab him, and I have to be separated from you for a while, this kind of thankless thing, I won't do it. ”
"One thing, I don't understand, you have made Xia Xin ready, why don't you fight for this right in the court?" Xia Fenglan asked, a trace of doubt appeared in her eyes.
"Feng Lan," Chu Yunxi looked at Xia Fenglan, a playful smile appeared in his eyes, "Do you want to make a bet on whether King Xing will come back in three months." ”
Looking at Chu Yunxi's sly gaze, Xia Fenglan knew that Chu Yunxi must have a back hand, hooked her lips, and said, "Okay, I'll bet with you, but what I bet on is that King Xing will come back in March." ”
Chu Yunxi was stunned for a moment, looked at the corners of Xia Fenglan's hooked lips, squinted her eyes, stretched out her index finger, tapped her forehead, and said with a smile: "Fenglan, when did you learn badly." ”
"I've been deceived by you so many times, you have to write smartly." Xia Fenglan said with a smile, "Do you dare to bet with me?" ”
Chu Yunxi raised his eyebrows and said, "Bet on it." ”
"Okay." Xia Fenglan's eyes showed cunning, "The losing side should be below once, in the real sense, don't fool me with the last time." Speaking of last time, Xia Fenglan's cheeks inevitably turned red.
"How did I fool you last time?" Chu Yunxi laughed, bit the tips of Xia Fenglan's reddish ears, and asked. The hand that was stroking his waist also began to be restless.
Xia Fenglan blushed, twisted the back of Chu Yunxi's hand fiercely, and said, "It's daytime!" ”
"Feng Lan, you know, I never care about time." Gently blowing the back of the hand that had been twisted, Chu Yunxi said. Xia Fenglan felt sorry for her after all, and she didn't use a lot of strength when she twisted it, just a little red.
But she didn't mind pretending to be aggrieved at all, and she would give Xia Fenglan's love.
Chu Yunxi stretched out the back of his hand in front of Xia Fenglan and said, "Feng Lan, look, it's all red." ”
"Well deserved." Although she said this, Xia Fenglan still took Chu Yunxi's hand and gently blew the back of her hand.
He said no, but his body was very honest, and somehow, such a sentence suddenly appeared in Chu Yunxi's mind, and his eyes gradually deepened when he looked at Xia Fenglan.
Unconsciously, the bodies of the two were close together, and they could even hear each other's heartbeats, Xia Fenglan inevitably blushed.
"Feng Lan ......" clasped Xia Fenglan's wrist with her backhand, and Chu Yunxi's voice was a little hoarse.
"Knock knock", Jin Ci knocked on the door of the two people, breaking the ambiguous atmosphere.
"What's the matter?" Chu Yunxi opened the door, and asked Jinci.
"The spies reported that the second princess provided King Xing with defective weapons." Jin Ci said.
The emperor gave a lot of compensation because of his guilt for Chu Xiuxiu, one of which was to allow Chu Xiuxiu to do weapons business.
Chu Yunxi stroked his forehead helplessly: "This Xiuxiu is really good at acting rashly." Jin Ci, you immediately send someone to replace all the weapons for me before King Xing gets the weapons, and you have to act quickly! Xiuxiu there, I'll go talk to her. ”
The matter of the Marquis of Zhongwu back then, although he had already punished the Duke of Wei. But because Concubine Li recommended Wei Ning'er's relationship, Wei Guogong was secretly taken care of by the emperor very well, and Chu Xiuxiu had a grudge against King Xing and Concubine Li, which was inevitable.
Yesterday, Wei Guogong also took a group of people to Xiuxiu's Linglong Pavilion to show off fiercely, and it was strange that Xiuxiu was not angry.
"Yes, Your Highness." Jin Ci nodded and went down.
"Xi is worried about what King Xing will do?" Xia Fenglan asked.
There are so many weapons shops in the capital, King Xing didn't go, but went to Chu Xiuxiu, who had a holiday with him, no matter how you look at it, there is a smell of conspiracy in it.
"Not worrying." The corners of Chu Yunxi's mouth hooked up a mocking smile, "King Xing is already waiting, just waiting for the weapon to come to the door." ”
"How?" Xia Fenglan asked, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes.
"Before the expedition, my father and queen will send people from the ministry to check on everything." Chu Yunxi said, "Defective weapons can be found out as soon as they are checked. If he wants to seal King Xing's mouth, he will make some compensation, at least, it is twice the silver taels of weapons, Xiuxiu is in a hurry to give people silver. ”
"Thanks to such a good royal sister as you." Xia Fenglan said softly, "Otherwise, Xiuxiu doesn't know how many times she has been cheated." ”
"She, this character can't be changed." Chu Yunxi said with a little helplessness in his words, "Let's go, follow me to teach Xiuxiu a good lesson." ”
Putting on a piece of clothing, Chu Yunxi and Xia Fenglan went to Xiuxiu's Linglong Pavilion.
As soon as they met, they reprimanded Chu Xiuxiu fiercely. Chu Xiuxiu also seemed to be used to it, lowered her head, obediently listened to what Chu Yunxi said, and waited until Chu Yunxi had reprimanded enough, then raised her head, smiled, and said: "Sister Huang, having said so much, are you thirsty, I bought a tea a few days ago, and it tastes very special." ”
Chu Yunxi was choked and speechless, she said for a long time, but Chu Xiuxiu didn't listen to a word at all!
Xia Fenglan couldn't help laughing, only feeling that Chu Xiuxiu was straightforward and cute.
"You?" Chu Yunxi looked at Chu Xiuxiu, her eyes full of helplessness.
"Isn't this kind of trivial matter settled by the imperial sister for me?" Chu Xiuxiu said as she poured tea for the two of them, "In that case, why can't I do what I want?" ”
"You should also learn to read people's hearts a little bit." I picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, it was light and tasteless, but the tea fragrance was very strong.
"Sister Huang, you spare me. You know, my biggest headache is calculating. As soon as she talked about the conspiracy, Chu Xiuxiu looked big.
"Calculations aren't just for shopping malls and officialdom." Glancing at Chu Xiuxiu, Chu Yunxi said, "When you pursue your lover, you also need it." Otherwise, why would you let people fall in love with you? ”
Chu Xiuxiu's expression suddenly became stern: "What the imperial sister said is that please ask the imperial sister to teach me more." ”
She wrote to that person every day, but she never got a response, and her heart was already bitter.
Xia Fenglan almost squirted the tea in her mouth, Chu Xiuxiu's contrast is too great!
Chu Yunxi hooked her lips, and her dark eyes looked straight at Chu Xiuxiu, as if she wanted to see her through.
Chu Xiuxiu opened her eyes a little embarrassed.
"Tomorrow, I'll let Jin Ci send it to you." Chu Yunxi said, "Look at it well, three days later, I will come to inspect you." ”
"Good!" Chu Xiuxiu's face was firm, for the sake of that person, she let it go.
Chu Yunxi raised her eyebrows, and suddenly became interested in the person who could transform Chu Xiuxiu. It's a pity that Xiuxiu has seen too many people in Qin State, and I don't know who it is.
King Xing asked the people of the Ministry to find out what was going on the expedition, especially Chu Xiuxiu's weapons. As a result, I can only know that the weapons sent by Chu Xiuxiu are all of the best quality, and there are even some cold soldiers.
When the emperor heard about it, he was very satisfied, and rewarded Chu Xiuxiu with a lot of things.
King Xing darkened his eyes, and Chu Xiuxiu was surprised that he was not fooled.
Two days later, King Xing left Beijing.
Chu Yunxi stood on the city wall, watching the mighty army leave, the expression in his eyes was obscure. I don't know if King Xing will be as majestic as he is now when he comes back.
