Worried, shy, and longing, all kinds of expressions are simply vivid on Tuoba Piaoxue's face. I looked at her indifferently and smiled with joy and disgust, thinking that this girl is really not simple.
Nantian hibiscus color Su embroidered long skirt, the skirt of the floor is finely embroidered with branches and thousands of leaves of begonia, and the outside is covered with rolling yarn. The half-draped hair is covered with a hollow orchid crystal hairpin, and a begonia dripping emerald jade and long skirt complement each other on the neck. Between gestures, a pair of moonstone bracelets on her wrist glowed with a shallow blue light, and an ink fan in her hand exuded an elegant fragrance, lining her whole person with a special demure and elegant.
This dress is a girl coming to have dinner with a girl?
It's fake to find me to eat together, but it's real to find Jiancheng. She calculated that as soon as I woke up, I would come to the door, dress up early, prepare for lunch, and make this chance encounter with the building.
"By the way, Sister Shi, Uncle Shi said to wait for you in the small study, you better go over quickly, don't let him wait for a long time." In the end, Jiancheng laughed and "drove away" Miss Tuoba.
Finally, the two of us were left alone, but there was nothing to say for a while, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
"Scales." "Built."
Jiancheng always smiles warmly and beautifully: "Scales, you say it first." β
"This time, not only have your status in the eyes of your old man risen sharply, but the family affairs of Tuoba Valve are also certain. I have gained such a big benefit, but all thanks to me, the eldest son of the Li family, how are you going to thank me? β
"Don't make trouble, you know what I want to do with you." Jiancheng smiled a little, but his eyes were as warm as jade at the moment, "You know, I won't marry the young lady of the Tuoba family, the person I want to marry is you, Liang'er, only you." As he spoke, he squeezed my hand firmly.
There was nothing thrilling, he said it as if it was a matter of course, and it made me feel as if this moment was predestined from birth.
"The Guanlong group is weakening day by day, and now the two major forces in the north are Li Valve and Tuoba Lord. If he marries with the Tuoba family, Tang Gong's southward advance will no longer have to worry about the future. β
"Scales, you are the black of the rivers and lakes. The Lord of the Dao has considerable power in every corner of the Central Plains. The benefits of marrying with your Qingying Sect are not inferior to those of the Tuoba Valve. β
"I know best about my own pounds. I'm black. The Lord of the Dao has only been in office for two years, and he is far from being able to control the entire Central Plains, and the handy power is only in the Jiangnan area, and the help that can be brought to you Li Valve and the deep-rooted Tuoba Valve are not the same at all. β
Jiancheng's smile softened a little, and he looked directly into my eyes, and my heart fluttered when he saw it: "Scales, have you forgotten that there is still me?" I'll convince my father, you believe me. β
It's obviously groundless, but I don't know why it can make people so reassuring and convincing.
"Scales, I'm really sorry to keep saying I don't want you to get into danger, but I've kept wading into troubled waters for you. However, in the future, please stay by my side, even if we are in trouble, I will definitely protect you. I, Li Jiancheng, swear to God. β
In the bright light of the afternoon, Jiancheng carries the light, and his promise gilds the bottom of my heart, shining, and the sea is dry and rotten, and it will not fade.
But can I really do it? Can it really stay with you forever? In that case, how do I face my father?
I don't know if it was lucky or unlucky, this puzzle didn't bother me for long. That night, I had to take advantage of the night to leave Jicheng, and I didn't even have time to say hello, so I left the word "don't read" for Jiancheng and set off in a hurry.
galloped all the way back, day and night, non-stop, and finally arrived at Jiangdu at dawn on this day. Looking at the towering city walls, I could only sigh silently. So far, I haven't received a single bit of information from the palace.
Holding the blood-stained gold medal in my arms, I retreated outside the Jiangdu City, hiding in a hidden place to breathe.
At night in Jicheng, a seriously wounded soldier delivered a gold medal covered in blood to my hands.
I know that person, a member of the White Nightguard who has always protected my father's surroundings, is a strong martial artist, and at the same time is deeply trusted by my father. And the gold medal is the meaning of recall.
What kind of big thing happened that made my father send Bai Yewei to summon me back, and the Bai Yewei, who was a group of five and had extraordinary skills, was assassinated all the way, and only one survived, and he was seriously injured and near death before the news was delivered to me.
What's even more terrifying is that when something like this happens, I didn't even receive any news.
My intelligence network in the palace and Jiangdu was uprooted and cleaned.
Father, there is a problem.
Damn Yu Wenhua and, this time I have to pick your skin.
All the way south, I thought of a lot of countermeasures along the way. Jiangdu's subordinates can't go there, and it is very likely that there are people from Yu Wenhua who are waiting for the rabbit. And the powerful prince and important minister in the palace, the only one who has intelligence contact with me is the second royal brother, but unfortunately we can't tell each other everything, he knows that my eyeliner is limited to a part of the palace, and I know his and can't go out of Jiangdu.
Jiangdu must now be completely a net of heaven and earth for Yu Wenhua, it is not easy for me to silently sneak into the urn without being caught by him, how can I still do unnecessary adventures.
There was no mourning in the whole country, there was no martial law in Jiang, and the only thing that could be determined was that the father was at least alive. In so many days from the north, no prince has ever been out of Jiangdu, which shows that Yu Wenhua has not yet reached the point of coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and the contenders for the throne are still waiting and seeing.
My father is in Yu Wenhua and his hands, so I naturally can't adjust the people of the Qing Sect, so I can only sneak around in the palace alone. Originally, the secret guards given by the Enchantress were excellent help, but this time, they rejected me.
It's been a few years, and I'm getting a clear idea of what kind of orders they're getting from the Enchantress. I don't care if I live or die, and I don't care about anything else. Small fights can help me depending on the mood, but the bigger the matter, the more they don't mix.
As for the Enchantress's own purpose, it seems that at present, she does not want to help any forces in the Central Plains. And why she has this mind, I still don't know. She is just an insignificant petty official in the Mengshe edict, and she has to watch out for the disaster of killing herself every day, how can she have the heart and strength to reach out to the Central Plains to care about so many rights and wrongs?
In short, this time I was the only one fighting alone. I rechecked that the mask on my face was conformable, took a deep breath, and entered Jiangdu City as a cloth-clothed ranger who was too ordinary to be more ordinary.
The atmosphere in Jiangdu City is very strange.
It is strange just because it is ordinary.
As prosperous, lively, and unquiet as before, there is no tension at all. It is said that if there is an incident of forced palace house arrest, no one can do it without leaking the slightest rumor.
Could it be that ... What did Yu Wenhua think of to hold his father hostage?
Tearing the skin of the face is not a move to defeat the enemy, what is the benefit of Yu Culture and Yu? Maybe I'm still too young to understand the mind of a scheming fox. But even if I don't understand it, I still have to break in, and the sooner the better, the longer I stay in Jiangdu, the easier it will be discovered by Yu Wenhua and others.
The time has passed, the palace gate opens, and it seems that it is the next dynasty. I counted the hours, and after the next dynasty, my father always had to summon a few courtiers to the imperial study to discuss matters. If Yu Wenhua is really holding his father hostage, and he doesn't want to be discovered by others, then he always has to do something according to his father's usual habits.
The imperial study is small, there are few people, and Yu culture and can't blatantly lead the army, that's my good opportunity.
So he cautiously sneaked into the palace wall, bypassed the guards, and approached the imperial study with special caution. I thought that Yu Wenhua and the hired masters would be guarded around the imperial study, but I didn't expect Bai Yewei to guard it well.
What's going on? Yu Wenhua and even Bai Yewei can get it all in one pot?
Impossible, with such great ability, why hide it?
Although the suspicion is getting heavier and heavier, but I have come in, and it is impossible for Duan Jinlan to retreat here.
After knocking down a few of the White Night Guards, I climbed onto the roof of the study, controlled my breathing, and lifted the roof tiles.
Father, I am really looking for someone to discuss, well, my father is fine.
The γγγγγγ of the Summoned Deliberations Yu culture and the king of the backer. It's normal to talk about state affairs.
What's going on with the backer? He is a military general, but he is also shrewd, if there is really any problem, his father will definitely hint at him, and he can't not see it here. Could it be that he is with Yu Wenhua and his gang?
But if that's the case, all three of them are insiders, so why do they pretend to be very serious?
"Who?" The backer king interrupted my train of thought with an angry roar.
Discovered?
Then just show up.
I quickly removed the mask and hid it in my sleeve, and rolled over: "My son is seeing my father." β
"Brocade scales? Why didn't you say it in advance when you came back, and secretly hid on the roof. "Father's voice is a little cold, are you still angry because of the recommendation of the second royal brother? It's just that I carefully deliberated on this sentence, and the indifference and alienation are true, but there is no intention of being coerced to ask me for help.
So, I had to pretend that I couldn't even hear the indifference and alienation, and said with a smile: "Jin Liang wants to surprise my father." β
"Surprise." The father is a little meaningful, and the backer on one side, Heyu Wenhua, doesn't greet me, but just has a calm face.
But before I could think about the next step, my father spoke again: "Jinlu, is the trip to Hedong still going well?" β
"The matter of the Shandong Army's Xiao Camp has been successfully resolved, and as for the Fuhu Army, Erchen has already asked him to subdue the law."
"It's really a brocade." Father even praised him coldly, and the atmosphere in the imperial study was very strange for a while, "After hearing about you, I also went to Jicheng Tuoba Zhang." What are you going to do? Enjoy the scenery? See the old man? β
Hmph, I know. Yu Wenhua's eyeliner is also all over the world, I went to see Jiancheng This kind of thing, how could he not poke it to his father.
Since my father asked, I can only say the words that I have prepared a long time ago: "Li Jiancheng, the eldest son of the Tang Duke, once saved the life of his son in Gusu. This time he was in danger, and his sons wanted to return his life, so that they could distinguish their grievances with him in the future. β
Father took a sip of tea silently: "Oh, so you go and pay him back his life, and give him a fire dragon car by the way, right?" β
The tone did not change at all, saying terrible things.
"Father, what do you mean by that?" I don't feel good in my heart, coupled with the hard work of the wind and dust and the inexplicability of the current occasion, a nameless fire is rushing up, but I still try to calm down, "The fire dragon car in front of Jicheng was blown up by my own hands, since my father knows that I have arrived in Jicheng, then the offensive and defensive battle of Jicheng must have seen the end." β
"Of course I know. What I asked was, did you send a dragon car to Li Jiancheng? The one of the Fuhu Army. β
"The one of the Fuhu Army, Erchen hid it in Hedong County, and you also know that it is too ostentatious to transport it back at present."
There was a hint of anger in my father's voice: "Yes, it's too ostentatious." So I really can't figure it out, how the hell did you get it to Li Jiancheng, my brocade scales? β
"Jin Scale, after learning the news that you went to Jicheng, this king's Xuanjia army went to Hedong to check, but did not find the fire dragon car." The king of the backer answered, "The emperor's white night guard is also involved, we can only think that the fire dragon car of the Fuhu Army is not in the east of the river." β
Is Hou Jun's collection too good?
"Father, I, I don't, I don't γγγγγγ"
My father's indifferent appearance made me panic for a moment, but suddenly, I understood something.
It's true that my eyeliner in the palace was pulled, but the dead man desperately sent the gold medal to be recalled, this is a play directed and acted by my father, no wonder there is no news of anything wrong along the way. My father suspected that I had betrayed me, and devised a plan to let me go back and fall into the net.
Above the gold-level jade majesty, the crown bead curtain covered all the expressions of the Ninety-Five Emperor, and the compassionate and ruthless figure made me at a loss.
The people who branch the helm in Hedong don't know that I am the imperial daughter. Do you want to say that?
I glanced at Yu Wenhua, and the old fox naturally didn't have any smug expression at this time. I can't say that Yu Wenhua will not disclose my royal identity and father on the rivers and lakes, but if he bites me and is afraid of revealing my identity in the Qingming Sect, it will be difficult enough in the future. What's more, his father has been suspicious, and even if he says so now, he may not necessarily believe it.
I took a deep breath and said calmly, word by word: "Father, the fire dragon car is in the east of the river, and the sons have not betrayed you, nor have they betrayed the Great Sui." "This time, I straightened my back.
The king of the backer stepped forward and bowed deeply: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the fire dragon car is very important, and before finding out at this time, I am afraid that I can only be wronged by the brocade scales." β
He kept his head down and didn't look at me.
No one said anything more, and after a silence, the holy decree of the Great Sui Emperor finally sounded: "The second daughter of the emperor, Jinlan, is suspected of colluding and rebellious, and will be imprisoned pending trial." β
