354, people's hearts, the depression of King Yan
Seeing Nangong Mo and the others coming, Shang Rong calmly smoothed the corners of his clothes, and arched his hand towards the two of them: "Gongzi Wei, the county lord, it's rude." β
Nangong Mo looked at Wei Hongfei, who was lying on the ground and couldn't get up, and couldn't help but smile and nodded: "General Shang, what's wrong?" β
Shang Rong said: "It's nothing, it's just that there are some questions to communicate with the King of Jingjiang County." β
Nangong Mo smiled lightly: "It's okay, the King of Jingjiang County is okay, right?" "Nangong Mo naturally won't go to seek justice for Wei Hongfei first, in fact, if beating Wei Hongfei can make Shang Rong agree to submit to them, even if Shang Rong beats Wei Hongfei half to death in front of her, she won't blink an eye. Maybe he'll help hand the stick or something.
Wei Hongfei struggled to sit up, gritted his teeth and said, "Does this king look like he's fine?!" As if he hadn't heard his words, Nangong Mo turned his head sideways and ordered the guards next to him, "Take people down and watch them carefully." Anyway, it's a county king, and the court is willing to take something in exchange for him to go back. Until then, don't let him communicate with people anymore. "If you continue to communicate, you may even lose your life.
Wei Hongfei glared at Nangong Mo and Wei Junmo angrily, "Wei Junmo, you immediately let go of this king!" β
Wei Gongzi glanced at him lightly and didn't speak, but the two guards hurriedly dragged Wei Hongfei to leave. Wei Hongfei naturally refused, although he was not abused and tortured these days, but for Wei Hongfei, life was indeed worse than death. The most contemptuous attitude in this world is to ignore it, since he was caught, except for the captured person who saw Wei Junmo on the spot, Wei Hongfei spent time with all the prisoners in the prisoner camp. There was no preferential treatment or harsh rebuke, as if he were just an ordinary prisoner of war. This kind of treatment makes Wei Hongfei feel more uncomfortable than directly torturing him.
The feeling of being ignored by the people he has always ignored and disliked is definitely uncomfortable, and it also makes Wei Hongfei feel very angry.
In fact, Wei Hongfei's anger is really unreasonable, on the one hand, he is disgusted with Wei Junmo's identity, and even wants to deny the meaning of his existence, wishing that there has never been a person in the world, Wei Junmo. Naturally, I never thought that there was any father-son relationship with Wei Junmo. But on the other side, when Wei Junmo ignored him as he wished and treated him as a passerby, he felt extremely angry, as if Wei Junmo had done something rebellious. This is obviously only allowed by the governor to set fires, and not to the people to light lamps.
In his heart, he probably thought that no matter how much he hated and despised Wei Junmo, Wei Junmo should be respectful and obedient to him. It's a pity that Wei Gongzi has not given birth to this attribute since he was a child. There was not the slightest interest in his ideas.
"Wei Junmo, you bastard... Hmm..."One of the guards quickly stuffed a mass into Wei Hongfei's mouth, and the other person patted him on the abdomen "gently" without a trace. The abdomen that had just been beaten by Shang Rong was slapped like this, and Wei Hongfei suddenly felt a burning pain and entanglement in his abdomen. Immediately bent down and could still scream. The two guards picked up Wei Hong when Wei Junmo hadn't changed color, and quickly disappeared into the courtyard.
This series of actions was incomprehensible to the eldest son of Qin, who was a scholar, but Shang Rong, who was a military general, saw it clearly. There are many ways to rectify people in the army, and Wei Hongfei is afraid that he has never seen it at all. Raising his eyebrows towards Nangong Mo, Shang Rong said: "Wei Gongzi and the county lord's subordinates are really capable of producing many people. "Two ordinary guards with no name or surname can have such a neat means. Just now, he was able to "communicate" with Wei Hongfei in front of two people, and it was obviously acquiescing.
Nangong Mo smiled: "General Shang has won the award." β
Seeing Wei Hongfei appear here, Shang Rong also knew what the battle situation was in Ezhou. He just sighed faintly, arched his hand towards the two of them, and turned to leave.
Looking at Shang Rong's departing back, Qin Zixu raised his eyebrows and said, "What are the county lord's plans?" β
Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows in confusion, and Qin Zixu said, "Shang Rong, do you just leave it alone?" "Actually, Qin Zixu doesn't really understand people like Shang Rong, Shang Rong won't be so happy to submit to him, he thought of it, but now what's going on with wandering around like this every day? Don't help each other? With Shang Rong's ability, it would be a little naΓ―ve to think so.
Nangong Mo understood very well, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, people are not puppets, and people's hearts are even more complicated." General Shang will always make a decision slowly. "Shang Rong is a person who is loyal and dedicated to serving the court, Nangong Mo dares to conclude that if there is not a Shang Nian'er here, he will definitely commit suicide and martyrdom after being caught by Nangong Xu. And as the person who captured him, Shang Rong should have hated them, but they didn't actually do anything unreasonable to Shang Rong, and it could even be said that they were treated preferentially everywhere, and Shang Rong was naturally not a person who didn't know what to do. What's more, his only daughter is still her second sister-in-law, and Nangong Hui will definitely follow them in the future. Shang Rong is even more unlikely to go out of his way to make trouble with them.
Of course, on the other hand, it was Xiao Qianye's actions that made Shang Rong feel a little disappointed. If it was the reign of the first emperor, it is really hard to say whether they can subdue Shang Rong.
Shang Rong is a loyal person, but he is not a foolish person, let alone a person who doesn't even care about the future of his only daughter for the sake of foolish loyalty. After all, he is also one of the ordinary people in this world. Those who would rather have their families ruined for the sake of momentary righteousness or loyalty, and even implicate relatives and friends, are legendary figures after all.
Qin Zixu nodded and said: "It's good that the county lord knows in his heart, with the young lady of Nangong here, presumably General Shang will not do anything irrational." β
After Wei Junmo came back, Nangong Mo was really much more relaxed. Although he still has to deal with a lot of things every day, most of them have been taken over by Wei Junmo. When you can't make up your mind about something, there is someone you can discuss. Because of the war in the north, the imperial court really transferred a large number of soldiers and horses to the north, and the war in Ezhou was also very smooth. If it weren't for the fact that they really didn't have soldiers and horses in their hands, Nangong Mo couldn't help but want to build a few more cities by taking the opportunity to continue to send troops and take a few more cities.
Nangong Mo was happy here, but His Royal Highness King Yan on the Youzhou side was not happy.
In the study, King Yan stared at the man dressed in black who was kneeling down and said in a deep voice, "Say your words to this king again!" β
The man in black was not afraid, and said respectfully: "Lord Qiqi, the prince ordered his subordinates to escort the eldest princess and the two little masters to Chenzhou for reunion. β
"Bastard!" King Yan was furious, and the teacup in his hand slammed to the ground, "He's only been over there for a few days to pick up Changping and the two children?" What if something happens? If he has the ability, let him personally tell the king about it! The man in black was very helpless in his heart, the prince had written to the prince a long time ago to mention it, why is the prince still so angry now? He didn't know that since he received the letter Yan Wang, he was holding back the fire in his heart, but it was a pity that Wei Junmo was thousands of miles away, and even if he wanted to get angry, he couldn't find anyone. At this time, he took the initiative to bump into it, who is unlucky if he is not unlucky?
"The prince and the county lord are busy, please forgive me. The two little masters are not yet a year old, and the prince and the county lord have been away for a long time and miss them very much, so they want to pick up the princess and the two little masters to reunite. Although he complained silently in his heart, the man in black still explained seriously with a respectful face.
King Yan snorted coldly, his face still gloomy.
Seeing that King Yan didn't let go, the man in black sighed in his heart, and said the words that Wei Junmo commanded, "Lord Qi, Gongzi said... He felt that compared to Chenzhou, Youzhou was actually more unsafe. If the princess and the two little masters are left in Youzhou, I am afraid that it will also cause chaos for the prince, and it will also make him and the county lord feel at ease. β
King Yan frowned, "Oh? That's what he said? β
The man in black nodded again and again to indicate that what he said was true and true.
"Childe said that in the near future, the imperial court will definitely increase troops to the north. If you're not careful..."
King Yan was silent, Wei Junmo's guess was indeed correct, in fact, he had already received the news that the imperial court was sending troops to the north. This was originally expected, in fact, because Wei Junmo took Tainingwei to capture Chenzhou and other places, the time for the imperial court to increase troops was already later than they expected.
"You go down first, and this king will talk about it after thinking about it."
The man in black no longer persuaded him, and the prince would agree. This one... Probably so, right?
In Princess Yan's courtyard, Princess Yan was talking to Sun Yan'er with a smile. Sun Yan'er sat under Princess Yan, her round head looked a little scary. The day of childbirth is very close, but Sun Yan'er has raised this baby very well, and she still comes to Princess Yan every day to ask An to talk to Princess Yan. Now the three sons of the whole welfare also have their own daughter-in-law, and they have cultivated some mother-in-law and daughter-in-law feelings with Princess Yan these days.
Looking at Sun Yan'er's belly, Princess Yan couldn't help but think of Xiao Qianchi and Xiao Qianwei brothers. The Chen family has been locked up for a long time, but it will take some time to find another wife for Xiao Qianchi, and Xiao Qianwei... Thinking about the county lord of Shanjia that she had always disliked, Princess Yan couldn't help but sigh. Unexpectedly, among the three sons, the one who didn't have to worry about her the most was the youngest son who thought that the youngest didn't understand what it was.
"Mother, what's wrong?" Sun Yan'er looked at Princess Yan and asked with a smile. These days, Sun Yan'er is also a little more casual when facing Princess Yan.
Princess Yan sighed and said, "It's not for your eldest brother and second brother. β
Sun Yan'er nodded and said with a light smile: "The two brothers are both smart and outstanding characters, so the mother concubine doesn't have to worry." β
"Smart and brilliant?" Princess Yan smiled a little helplessly: "Chi'er, I really hope he can be smarter, as for Wei'er, I hope he won't be so smart." He wants to lead the army and I will follow him, but you say... What is he doing with his daughter-in-law? β
Sun Yan'er thought for a while and said, "The second sister-in-law is also very capable, and the second brother must be envious when he looks at his cousin and sister-in-law." It's a pity that I'm stupid, but I don't have the ability to help my husband. β
Princess Yan patted the back of her hand and said, "The mother concubine is very good at looking at you." Your second sister-in-law... If you want to say that she really has the ability to be flawless, I won't say anything. But does she have it? β
Sun Yan'er naturally couldn't answer this, and Princess Yan didn't want to hear her little daughter-in-law scold her second daughter-in-law with her, but just frowned and said: "The second daughter-in-law, if she is in the backyard or in the deep palace, I will also praise her as a heroine among women." But what did she follow to the battlefield and mix in? Will she be able to line up or will she be able to mount and kill the enemy? β
Sun Yan'er was about to say a few words to comfort Princess Yan, but when she saw King Yan walking in from outside with an angry face, she hurriedly stopped and wanted to get up and salute. Seeing that she was standing alone, King Yan waved his hand and said, "Excuse me." β
Princess Yan got up and said with a smile: "What's the matter, prince?" Could it be that Can't Blaze make you angry? β
King Yan's anger stopped for a while, and he snorted lightly and did not speak. Princess Yan rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Could it be that Jun'er and Wufang said something in the letter?" She remembered that the prince had gone to the study to see the messenger from Chenzhou.
King Yan gritted his teeth and said, "Those two said that they would take Changping and the two children to Chenzhou." β
Princess Yan was stunned, "Why is this so?" It's not ...... over there in Chenzhou right now."
King Yan seemed to have found a bosom friend, "That's it, there are many natural disasters in Chenzhou, what are you going to do with people at this time?" Could it be that in Youzhou, the king can still treat his sister and two children badly? Princess Yan covered her lips and smiled: "Naturally not, who doesn't know that the prince loves the two children like eyeballs?" This is not a lie, King Yan's love for the two little dolls is definitely much better than that of his own sons and granddaughters. As long as I have free time, I will go to the courtyard of Princess Changping and hug the two children. The poor eldest son of the Xiao family couldn't help but look like a ghost every time he saw his father holding the two little babies with a loving face. He dared to swear with his head that his father had never been so amiable to others in his life.
"So... Don't send it over? King Yan said with some hesitation.
Princess Yan was helpless, "If the prince really made up his mind not to send it, he wouldn't be so angry, right?" It's not that I don't want to send it away and I can't help but send it, so I ran to her to vent my anger.
King Yan snorted lightly, gritted his teeth, and said, "I shouldn't have let those two go over there in the first place." β
Princess Yan also sat down again, and sighed: "Jun Mo and Wufang are both capable, can they fight such a situation in just a few months?" Wasn't the prince quite happy before? The poor two children were born not long after their father and mother went out, and it was inevitable that their little couple would miss their children. Since Jun Mo asked someone to pick him up, it must have been arranged on the shore, and the prince didn't have to worry. If they really miss it, just let them bring it back and take a look. You can't keep your child from seeing their parents all the time. Children who don't have their parents by their side, even if we take care of them finely and love, it's pitiful. β
King Yan's expression moved slightly, and he sighed softly before nodding slightly, "The princess is right." β
Seeing him like this, Princess Yan also breathed a sigh of relief. Wang Ye never loses his temper, but once his temper comes, it is not easy to deal with. Of course, it won't be directed at her, but it's not a good thing to silence the entire palace. After thinking about it, Princess Yan smiled and said, "Although the two children are leaving, there are many happy events in our house this year." Yan'er should have given birth these days, and the doctor said it was a boy. There is also the palace concubine, and she should be born at the end of the year. Congratulations to the prince in advance. β
Speaking of the child in Gong Xiaodie's belly, Princess Yan didn't feel sour. After all, in addition to the three sons born to him, there are also two county lords in this mansion. Compared with other princesses, her life is already very relaxed. Although King Yan doted on Gong Xiaodie, he never really let her go over him. These days, Princess Yan has gradually come back to her senses, how can a person who wants to compete in the world be confused by women?
King Yan glanced at Sun Yan'er, nodded and said, "This king is going to go on an expedition in a few days, and he should... I had time to name my grandson. Xiao Die, you take care of it more. β
Princess Yan was a little surprised, "The prince wants to recruit in person?" But your body ......"
King Yan's health is not very good now, and Princess Yan naturally knows it. It is precisely because of this willingness that King Yan, who always likes to lead the troops in person, has been sitting in Youzhou. After all, if the commander of an army falls on the battlefield, the impact on the war is definitely much greater than if it did not appear in the first place.
King Yan said: "It's okay, there is a string song boy, and I can't do anything for a while." Xiao Qianye increased his troops in a big way, but he was afraid that he would send a few veterans out of the army, and the king must personally sit in charge. β
"But, where is the palace concubine...," Princess Yan said. Gong Xiaodie has always been very wary of her, as if she was going to kill her child if she was not careful. Princess Yan scoffed at this, how could she use such an unruly method? What if Gong Xiaodie really gave birth to a son? It's just a concubine, she is about to hold a grandson, and she still cares about a newborn concubine? If she was so stupid, she would not have received such respect and trust from the prince all these years.
King Yan frowned, thought for a while, and said, "It's okay, I'll tell her." This king can trust the princess. β
Looking at King Yan's calm and waveless eyes, Princess Yan felt a little more relieved. The smile on his face was also a little warmer, and he nodded: "Since the prince trusts the concubine, the concubine will naturally take care of the palace for the prince." β
"It's hard work for the princess."
The princess smiled: "What is within the status of a concubine, why talk about hard work? It's the prince, Yongcheng's marriage, which can't be delayed any longer. "The marriage of the lord of Yongcheng is scheduled for October, but if the prince is not there... Although the lord of Yongcheng is a concubine, she is also raised by the princess's side. Princess Yan never intended to treat the concubine harshly, so she naturally wanted to mention it to King Yan.
King Yan frowned, thought for a while, and said, "This is also a matter of no way. Not to mention this king, isn't that kid also on the battlefield now? You go and make it clear to Yongcheng and tell her not to worry. This king will not wronged his daughter. β
Hearing him say this, Princess Yan nodded. She also understands the truth, but this kind of thing always has to be said by the prince himself, "Yongcheng is a sensible child, the prince can rest assured." β
King Yan nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's good." β
