321, His Royal Highness King Ning
Han Ying'an's final tragic ending was naturally unpredictable except for a very small number of insiders. Nangong Mo and his party are not in the mood to pay attention to a little person who only has a few faces and is not very likable. Therefore, after staying in Anxia City for two days, he left for Xizhou directly.
Compared with the tension in Youzhou today, Xizhou is still very peaceful and quiet. People don't seem to be affected by the war next door at all, of course, this is only the beginning of the war, once the Xizhou closest to Youzhou is defeated, it will inevitably be affected. Nangong Mo and his entourage came to Xizhou City to see King Ning, and they ate a lot of closed door soup at the first time. Standing at the door of King Ning's Mansion, Nangong Mo had no choice but to shrug his shoulders at Gongzi Wei and smile bitterly, "Now this treatment, did Gongzi Wei expect it?" ”
Just looking at Na Xia Seventeen's methods of dealing with Han Ying'an, you know that he is not an open-minded person. If you make him unhappy, naturally don't expect him to be polite.
Wei Gongzi was not surprised, and said, "Don't worry, since we don't have to go back to the inn to rest first." There are also many places worth seeing in Xizhou. ”
Nangong Mo stroked his forehead, "We're really not here to play." She thought she was already a little out of business, but she didn't expect this one to be even worse. Did he forget that His Royal Highness King Yan was still waiting for news in Youzhou?
Wei Junmo pulled her back, and said, "Without Taining Wei, Youzhou Wei would not have fallen immediately." There is no hurry. ”
Hmm, that makes sense. In fact, they only need to ensure that King Ning is not Xiang Xiao Qianye, as for King Ning's willingness to send troops to help, it is really not that important. Of course, it would be best if it could be said that King Ning was moved. So, the two who ate the closed door went hand in hand.
In King Ning's mansion, a young man in a purple prince's robe was half-lying and half-leaning, lying in the chaise longue with his eyes closed and recuperating without any image. Beside him, a beautiful woman in a pink shirt was gently pinching his shoulder. Not far away, there is another beautiful woman sitting in the zither, the sound of the piano is clear and beautiful, the beauty eyebrows are picturesque, a beautiful picture of movement and quiet.
A man who looked like a steward hurriedly came and said in a respectful voice, "Lord Wang." ”
The man in purple is none other than King Ning, one of the youngest powerful princes of the dynasty. King Ning opened one eye and raised his eyebrows, "What?" What are their expressions? Are you still waiting at the door? Let this king dry him for two hours. ”
"Uhh
King Ning thought for a moment, "However, the county lord of Star City is a delicate girl, isn't this not good?" ”
"Lord Wang......" The steward wanted to speak and stopped.
King Ning said: "Why don't you invite the Lord of Star City in and ask Wei Junmo to wait outside?" "Humph! Even if he didn't know the surname Wei at all, he still had a few connections in Jinling back then, right? Haven't you seen it in more than ten years? Isn't it just a little easier? How dare you pretend you don't know him! The current juniors are really bold, and they can't do it without a lesson!
"Lord Wang." The steward said helplessly: "Young Master Wei and the Lord of Star City... It's gone. "So, people don't have to wait for you at all, Lord Wang, it's very difficult for them to be subordinates who often make themselves amorous.
"Gone?!" King Yan got up suddenly, his eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a sharp light in his eyes, "Does Wei Junmo still want to have a good chat with this king?" Believe it or not, this king immediately agreed to Xiao Qianye's conditions?! ”
The steward hurriedly persuaded: "The prince is angry. This one... Wei Gongzi and the county lord of Xingcheng are afraid that they really think that the prince is not in the mansion. ”
King Ning disdainfully, "Do you think they are as stupid as you?" ”
"That's... Subordinates ask them to come back? "Steward.
His Royal Highness King Ning's face suddenly distorted, "Please fart!" Roll on! ”
The steward breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly retreated. At the same time, he sighed secretly in his heart, His Royal Highness King Ning is still a wise and martial prince of Zhenbian in the eyes of outsiders, but who can tell them to be subordinates, how did His Royal Highness King Ning's distorted temper and character come about.
Watching the steward leave, King Ning waved his hand to let the beauties beside him retreat. I was angry alone for a while, and suddenly the look on my face changed, and I raised my hand and snapped my fingers. A man in gray appeared in front of him silently, "Lord Wang." ”
King Ning smiled and said, "Where is the person sent by Xiao Qianye now?" ”
The man in gray said respectfully: "Back to the prince, I am still waiting for the prince to be summoned at the Cloud Inn in the city." ”
"Hey, hey." King Ning touched his chin and laughed twice, "Reveal the news that Wei Junmo and the Lord of Star City are here." "The surname is Wei, if you don't make this king happy, this king can't make you proud. We'll see!
Xizhou is a big city, and there are many inns in the city. Originally, it was not so easy for people from two different roads to meet. But... No matter how big a place is, there are only a few of the best things. Therefore, there is no need for His Royal Highness King Ning to make a mess at all, Nangong Mo and his party are standing at the gate of the Yunzhong Inn.
As for why you chose this one?
First, this is one of the best inns in Xizhou, second, it is very close to King Ning's Mansion, and thirdly... This is the property of the Zixiao Palace.
So before she entered the door, when she heard her subordinates tell her that some people also lived here, Miss Nangong was completely speechless.
"Wei Junmo?! How did you end up here?! In the lobby, Wei Hongfei, the king of Jingjiang County, who had not been seen for a long time, stared at Wei Junmo and the eyes of the two were almost bursting with fire. Behind Wei Hongfei were two brothers, Wei Jun Mobo and Wei Junze. Nangong Mo's gaze habitually looked at Wei Junze's legs, and it seemed that he was recovering well. It's just that... The relationship between the two brothers doesn't seem to be as harmonious as it used to be. Although his leg was better, the yin owl aura on Wei Junze's body did not disappear with it. Wei Junze glared at her resentfully at Shangnangong Mo's gaze, but quickly withdrew his gaze and shivered somehow.
Wei Junmo's face was calm, his purple eyes faintly swept over the group of people standing in front of him, and said coldly: "Get out of the way, you are in the way." ”
"Presumptuous!" Wei Hongfei was furious, "You disloyal and unfilial rebel!
This disloyal and unfilial rebel! ”
Wei Hongfei's voice was not small, which immediately attracted everyone in the inn to look sideways. Many people still have a look of watching a good show in their eyes. The drama of father and son against each other, it will make people feel that there are onlookers at any time.
Nangong Mo held Wei Junmo's arm with one hand, with a smile on his face, "King Jingjiang, the rebel son is behind you, please don't casually climb the relationship, you will make us feel very troubled by this." ”
"Shut up! This king talks to him, what do you interject! Wei Hongfei said angrily. He has always had no good impression of Nangong Mo, whether it is the education he received since he was a child or his own preferences, he prefers gentle women. Nangong Mo is naturally not spicy, let alone jumpy, but under her seemingly gentle smile is not a stinging stab, but a sword that can kill. And she never knows what a woman's duty is, which is even more annoying than those rude and spicy village women!
Nangong Mo grabbed Wei Junmo, who wanted to speak, and didn't even lose a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, my mouth is on my face, what can you do if you don't close it?" ”
"You... You..."
Nangong Mo interrupted him unceremoniously, "The King of Jingjiang County doesn't have his ears back, right?" Did you hear my husband? Please get out of the way, we're going in. Saying goes... Good... Out of the way. ”
Although Nangong Mo didn't say that word, it was no different from saying it, who else wouldn't know if this kind of thing was true? Wei Hongfei was so angry that his face turned pale and trembled, and he glared at Wei Junmo and said, "This is the woman you fancied?" Such vulgar and rude......"
"Better than your vision." Wei Junmo said coldly.
The king of Jingjiang County was stimulated and laughed angrily, "This king's vision is indeed not good, otherwise how could he fall in love with your mother's ......?"
Touch!
Before Wei Hongfei's words were finished, the whole person was directly thrown out by an invisible force. Fortunately, there were two sons behind him, and the father and son crashed into the table behind them and fell into a ball.
"Wei Junmo!" Wei Junbo, whose ribs were hit and hurt, finally couldn't maintain his former gentleness and politeness. He helped Wei Hongfei up with Wei Junze, gritted his teeth and said sharply: "Wei Junmo, we have raised you in Jingjiang County for more than 20 years, and that's how you treat your father?" ”
"Huh? Finally called big brother without pretense? Nangong Mo was surprised, "Didn't you want to recognize your mother as your mother with a courteous face before, and call it Brother Jun Mo?" Also, it seems that your mother's family is raising your family's waste, right? ”
Princess Changping's maiden family is naturally royal, but isn't the royal family raising this group of waste? Wei Junbo looked upright, and said in a deep voice: "King Yan rebelled, Wei Junmo rebelled, don't say that he has left the Jingjiang County Palace, even if there is no Jingjiang County Palace, he will kill his relatives in righteousness." ”
"Oh, Jun Mo's departure from Jinling should be good for you, you really don't think about thanking him? The prince of Jingjiang County? Nangong Mo said with a smile.
After a few words, Wei Hongfei also relieved himself. Staring at Wei Junmo, his face was full of disgust, and there was fear hidden deep in the depths of his eyes, "Rebel! ”
Their war of words greatly satisfied the gossip of the people in Xizhou. Looking at Wei Hongfei's gaze was also full of various meanings. Although Xizhou is far away from Jinling, the news that Princess Changping gave birth to an ominous child may not have reached Xizhou. But Princess Hugh of Changping is definitely known to the whole world.
It turns out that this is the man who was divorced by the eldest princess.
Being, Hugh, dropping, of, man, man!
Wei Hongfei can be regarded as the only one in Daxia.
Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows and looked sideways at the shopkeeper next to him, "Shopkeeper, is your Yunzhong Inn really the best inn in Xizhou?" Blocking people in the middle of the road and not letting guests in is also the style of your inn? ”
Although the Cloud Inn belongs to the Zixiao Palace, the relationship in the secret naturally cannot be talked about in the open. The shopkeeper hurriedly stepped forward with a smile and said, "This lady said that she was laughing, please inside." Then he said to Wei Hongfei: "This... Lord Wang, please raise your noble hand and don't be embarrassed, please give way As for any contradictions between you, why don't you solve them privately? ”
was reminded by the shopkeeper, Wei Hongfei remembered that this was a big court. When he saw the gaze of everyone sweeping over, he was even more remorseful, and gave way with a cold face. Nangong Mo then pulled Wei Junmo and followed the shopkeeper inside.
"What are you doing in Xizhou?!" Behind him, Wei Hongfei asked in a deep voice.
Nangong Mo chuckled, "We will do whatever the prince is here to do." ”
"My subordinates have seen my son, the county lord." In the backyard of the Cloud Inn, the shopkeeper respectfully clasped his fists and saluted. Nangong Mo was not surprised when he knew the details of the Cloud Inn. Wei Junmo nodded slightly, pulled Nangong Mo to sit down and asked, "What's going on in Xizhou?" ”
The shopkeeper said: "Returning to the prince, since the end of last year, Jinling has sent several groups of people to persuade King Ning. But it didn't work out. After the news of His Royal Highness King Yan's army came, His Royal Highness King Ning didn't seem to move. As usual, King Ning personally led his troops to suppress a rebellion of a small tribe last month. The rest of the time, there was no movement. ”
Nangong Mo asked, "When did Wei Hongfei and his party come?" ”
The shopkeeper said: "The king of Jingjiang and his entourage have already arrived in Xizhou half a month ago. Asking to see His Royal Highness King Ning has not been allowed to enter the door. After being rejected several times, Wei Hongfei was also extremely annoyed but helpless. "This is King Ning's territory, not to mention Wei Hongfei, a county king who has no real power, even if the prince or even Xiao Qianye comes in person, he has to be polite. In a word, it was the dragon that coiled me, and the tiger that lay down for me. The strong dragon can't overpower the ground snake.
Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows, "How is King Ning?" ”
The shopkeeper's expression was a little weird, and he muttered for a while before he said, "His Royal Highness King Ning... The temperament is somewhat different. King Ning was only sixteen years old when he became a vassal that year, and it took three years to sweep away the bandits and bandits in Xizhou and suppress the border departments. Everyone thought that His Royal Highness King Ning would become the second His Royal Highness King Yan
His Royal Highness King Yan, but... Three years later, His Royal Highness King Ning seems to have lost interest in government and military affairs. I often make friends with some idle prose people, prodigal sons, drinking wine, playing the piano, watching dances and enjoying music. Moreover, King Ning himself is extremely beautiful, and several Oiran in Xizhou have a very close relationship with His Royal Highness King Ning. There is also a group of Fang Gardens in the backyard of King Ning, which houses countless family members, from the ladies to the small jasper, and even the heroines of the rivers and lakes and the dancing girls of the Western Regions. "Compared to King Ning's dissolute form, King Yan is simply self-disciplined like a saint.
If I hadn't seen King Ning beforehand, I was afraid that after listening to the shopkeeper's words, I would have thought that this was a mediocre and lascivious person.
"However, Xizhou seems to be governing well." The people under the rule of Xizhou are not much worse than Youzhou, is it possible that King Ning really pursues the rule of inaction?
The shopkeeper nodded and said, "Indeed, although King Ning himself is not very in charge. But there are also a lot of capable people under him. The most important thing is that the people under King Ning generally did not dare to betray him or fool him. ”
"Why is that?"
The shopkeeper said: "King Ning doesn't seem to care about the people but he is not harsh, but he is extremely strict with his subordinates. "Harshness is the slightest statement, and King Ning's subordinates can be called brutal.
"Three years ago, there was a steward in King Ning's Mansion who embezzled 1,000 taels of silver, and after King Ning found out... Chopped off the steward's hands on the spot. A year ago, I heard that the deputy head of King Ning's Mansion said a few good words about Xiao Qianye to King Ning, and he was directly cut off by King Ning. "King Ning's personality is not moody and brutal, and it's generally okay not to mess with him, and it can even be said that King Ning is usually quite easy to get along with. But once it falls into his hands, it is definitely more painful than death, and no matter how deep the friendship was, it was in vain. The shopkeeper has been in Xizhou for several years, and it is naturally not a day or two to pay attention to King Ning. This kind of person, who looks good-tempered, is actually extremely cold and ruthless. Deep in my heart, it is colder and harder than the killer who licks the blood on the tip of a knife. Even if you have had a fateful friendship before, once you commit it in his hands, you don't have to think about such a thing as his old love. For him, the past friendship is the same as the past thing, and the past is over.
"Send me the recent news of Xizhou and Ningwangfu." Wei Junmo said in a deep voice.
The shopkeeper nodded and said, "Yes, the subordinates have already sorted it out, and they will be sent over immediately." Childe and the county lord, please rest for a while, and his subordinates will order someone to bring some food and refreshments. ”
"Thank you for your hard work." Nangong Mo smiled lightly.
"Don't dare, it's within the subordinate's responsibility."
After the shopkeeper stepped down, Nangong Mo asked, "How do you feel?" ”
"Hidden deeply." Wei Junmo said, "He can control his subordinates so easily, obviously there is a hidden force under his hands." ”
Nangong Mo sighed, "I think so too, it seems that the shopkeeper doesn't know much about King Ning." Saying... You have lived with him in Jinling for more than ten years, don't you know anything? ”
Wei Junmo said: "Princess Ning's mother died early, she was inconspicuous in the palace, and she rarely appeared in front of people. I seldom go out, and I am often absent from Jinling after the age of thirteen, and I was not in Jinling when he left Jinling. The last time I saw him was thirteen years ago. At that time, he was very silent, not his current nature. ”
Nangong Mo sighed, "Sealing a sixteen-year-old boy to Xizhou, did the first emperor have a grudge against King Ning or did he believe in King Ning's ability too much?" "King Yan was also a feudal lord at about that age, but King Yan had been on the battlefield before that. Of all the vassal kings on the edge of the town, King Ning was the youngest.
"Xizhou was originally garrisoned by two generals who were very good at fighting, but... Five years after King Ning's reign, one of the two generals died of illness and the other died in an accident while going on an expedition. ”
Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows, always feeling that Wei Gongzi was hinting at something.
"What are you going to do with King Ning?" Nangong Mo asked with some curiosity. The richest person who is completely unfamiliar but deeply hidden, is still a little troublesome.
Wei Gongzi's sword eyebrows raised slightly, "Deal with?" We don't have to deal with him. However, if it's too much trouble......"
"King Ning can also be regarded as your uncle." Nangong Mo reminded.
Wei Gongzi raised his hand and touched her cheek, "Flawless thinks too much, we are on his territory now, maybe it is us who are unlucky." ”
......: "Are you sure I'm thinking too much?"
“…… I don't like violent problem-solving in general. Wei Gongzi said.
"Well, you have the final say."
