Chapter 17: The Dream Realm
Where is this? Qin Muyu only felt dizzy walking in the dark, it was pitch black, all around was pitch black, there was no light and no end.
"Your Majesty, the Privy Council has reported that Yaoyun has secretly deployed troops and horses in Wengkou recently, and wants to start a war with me." An old voice rang out, and the darkness was dispelled in an instant.
A burst of bright light came, Qin Muyu's eyes flickered, and he found himself standing on a high platform, and under the stage were kneeling Manchu civil and military officers,
"Oh?" A low voice rang out in his ears, Qin Muyu looked to the side in fright, only to find that next to it was a chair carved with a five-clawed golden dragon, a man like a beast with one hand on his chin, and his eyes were as arrogant and wild as a black panther.
This is?
"Your Majesty, Yaoyun has been fighting with Ruihua in recent years, and it is impossible for there to be troops attacking our country. Moreover, Yaoyun lost to Ruihua ten years ago and lost three cities, how willing is the king of Yaoyun, and there is no trace above the general of Ruihua Zhenguo, although he is famous, but the old man feels that he is only afraid of more false fame. How can a twenty-year-old child resist the iron horse of the wolf? Besides, Daqi is good at guarding, if you want to fight my Da Qi Yao, how can Yun only have enough troops at Wengkou, not to mention that Yaoyun does not have such a force now. Yaoyun should take this opportunity to send troops to Ruihua to avenge the shame of the year. ”
"Heh, I'm afraid you're really old and confused, what is Yaoyun's strength, our spies haven't found out yet, but there is no trace above, but no one has come to attack Ruihua's border for ten years."
"Recently, there has been a lot of friction between Yaoyun and Ruihua, and I heard that the border between the two countries has long been closed, and the residents have already moved out. A small town not far from Danzhou in the southeast of Ruihua was slaughtered by Yaoyun, and Ruihua also wanted to use this to send troops to Yaoyun. ”
"But this may also just be Yaoyun's method of striking east and west."
The two of them were arguing endlessly, seeing that although they were wearing official robes, they were all dressed as nomads, Qin Muyu felt ridiculous. A guess came to her mind: did she come to Daqi inexplicably? Or is it above the Great Qi Dynasty? The man next to him who didn't seem to be able to see her should be the king of Great Qi, Qi Lin.
The man in the dragon chair just looked at it and didn't say a word.
"Your Majesty, the minister has something to say." Suddenly, a man at the bottom of the hundred officials stood up.
"Say."
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that no matter whether the news from the Privy Council is true or not, this is my chance."
The two who had quarreled before were about to speak again, but Qi Lin stopped them with a wave of his hand, and then he finally straightened up, but his upper body stood upright without touching the back of the chair at all, like a black panther who was waiting to pounce on his strength.
"Kind of interesting, go on."
"I don't know who the two elders know about the current Yaoyun confrontation with Ruihua at the border?"
Glancing at Qi Lin, he found that the saint did not stop him, and an elder replied,
"Naturally, I know, the general Jiang Zhaoye. This person was appointed as a general by Yaoyun a year ago, and then led the army to the east, and forcibly stopped the footsteps of Ruihua's westward invasion, and it was rumored that he was the general of Yaoyun second only to Yaoyun Emperor's guard, and the arrangement of troops was all superb, and the Bangyue army he led was even more disciplined, although he had not earned land for Yaoyun, but he was also famous in the Three Kingdoms. Besides, Bai Xiaosheng is on the list of the three major generals of the Three Kingdoms, Jiang Zhaoye is impressive, no one in the world knows, but Your Excellency is asking a joke? ”
boasted about the enemy generals like this, but Qi Lin didn't even bother to lift his eyelids. Qin Muyu knew that this Jiang Zhaoye was a ruthless character, and he fought a beautiful battle to catch turtles in the Surabaya urn, and almost trapped him there without a trace. After that, Yaoyun took the opportunity to defeat the Ruihua army like a bamboo, and made a mess of the rich Jiangnan, when she was alive, Ruihua was a poor people, Ruihua was at the time when the crown prince and the second prince were earning the throne, and a Jiang Zhaoye beat them all up. Daqi was trapped in Surabaya without a trace above but brazenly sent troops, unexpectedly Yaoyun still hid his troops, Wei Duan personally led troops north to break the army of Daqi, and since then Daqi has also succumbed to Yaoyun's iron cavalry. The form of the Three Kingdoms is basically unified, and it is the supreme prestige of Yaoyun Saint Shangweiduan, and at the same time, the reputation of Qin Muxue's daughter of Heavenly Destiny is even more prominent.
"Since the elder has a very high opinion of Jiang Zhaoye, he has thought about who Jiang Zhaoye is? Suddenly, the fame resounded throughout the three kingdoms at a thought, but I was afraid that there was more than one minister who was suspicious. ”
"A talent that Yaoyun has secretly cultivated."
"Can you believe the words released by Yaoyun Saint Guard?" The courtier shook his head, feeling a little unteachable. It is also the openness of the Great Qi country, advocating that all those who are talented in all positions can be appointed. There is no distinction between parties in this court, and everyone has their own opinions, and it is no wonder that Daqi is the most democratic among the three kingdoms.
"And what do you know? I don't have much patience. Qi Lin raised his eyes slightly to speak, and the quarrel was overwhelming.
"Back to the king, Jiang Zhaoye was originally a Ruihua person, a young master of a scholarly family in Suzhou, Jiangnan, and a childhood sweetheart who made a marriage contract since childhood. Unexpectedly, when Jiang Zhaoye was not doing anything, his father was beheaded for the crime of treason with the enemy, and he was beheaded all over the house, and the nine clans were wiped out. Jiang Zhaoye survived, but he was transferred to Yaoyun several times, and was favored by Yaoyun Sheng's guard, and was slowly promoted to become Yaoyun's general. Therefore, his hatred for Ruihua must be deep in the bone marrow, and he can't destroy Ruihua. ”
"How do you know?"
"Jiang Zhaoye's army is to save the tide, turn the tide, and the more you fight, the more courageous you are. But in fact, it was the name of his pro-plum sweetheart. ”
Everyone around was interested, but Qi Lin frowned. Obviously, he was a little impatient with this kind of half-hidden remark just for the sake of trickery and appeal.
The man who had suddenly attracted the attention of the ministers was still enjoying everyone's gaze, Qin Muyu looked at him, but found that the man was also as pale as jade, but he did not have the roughness of a big Qi man, like a Ruihua person. The more he looked at it, the more familiar it became, Qin Muyu thought hard, he must have seen him somewhere!
"Tang Wanyue!" There was a loud sound, but the man's words did not get a response. Qin Muyu was stunned, it turned out to be her.
Tang Wanyue, the fourth lady on the Bai Xiaosheng beauty list. Tang Wanyue turned out to be Jiang Zhaoye's childhood sweetheart? In her previous life, Tang Wanyue entered the palace to participate in the draft of the crown princess, but her whereabouts were unknown later. In this way, Jiang Zhaoye later insisted on breaking the Ruihua Imperial Capital, probably for this celebrity.
It's really a disaster, but is it really Tang Wanyue's fault? Qin Muyu sighed privately, but heard the courtier's voice a little anxious because he couldn't get a response,
"Jiang Zhaoye promised Tang Wanyue to take him away, but Jiang Zhaoye is in Yaoyun, he must want to revenge the hatred of the country and the family, and then hug the beauty!"
"Haha, it's really funny, just because Jiang Zhaoye's army name is the same as that Tang Wanyue, it's sure that he is related to Ruihua? Ah, if my army is called Chunxiang, is it because Chunxiang, the top girl of the Qinglou, has something to do with me? ”
"For the sake of a woman to fight the country, for the sake of a woman and insist on sending troops to Ruihua? You've watched too much of the playbook, right? ”
"Haha, it's funny, that's what you want to tell Your Majesty?"
was ridiculed by many people, and the man's eyes were slightly annoyed, but he still bowed down with a restrained expression. Because their king, the king of Great Qi, Qi Lin has not yet spoken.
"What you say is true? For no other reason than that ridiculous reason, let's step back for no other reason. ”
"Your Majesty, that Jiang Zhaoye is actually a childhood friend of the minister! The minister knows his character very well, and if it weren't for revenge, he wouldn't have become Yaoyun's general! Moreover, now that Yaoyun is in drought and the people are struggling to make a living, Yaoyun would dare to start a war if he was not completely sure. His subordinates dare to use their lives to guarantee that as long as Jiang Zhaoye is the general, they will go on the expedition to Ruihua! ”
"So this is your vote?"
"Yes!"
"That's what you call your chance?" Chewing the words playfully in his mouth, Qi Lin said.
"Take the opportunity to crusade against Yaoyun."
"Yes, Your Majesty, now Yaoyun is empty, and most of the country's drought grain is used for disaster relief, and can only bear a small part of the military. It's a good opportunity to send troops! ”
"Your Majesty, I can't help it!"
After the man finished speaking, there was a commotion below, Qi Lin sat up straight, and after a while, with a wave of his hand, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty quieted down.
"Could it be that my big Qi Erlang is still afraid of Yaoyun?" Qi Lin stood up with a blank expression.
Qin Muyu twisted his eyebrows, after Daqi sent out his troops, he was clearly defeated, and he was defeated! But at this time, there was a cry in the court, and the people of Daqi were good at riding and shooting, and they had belligerent blood in their bones, and Qi Lin said that he won the hearts of Daqi men.
He is...... He is! Qin Muyu watched Qi Lin walk away, and suddenly there was a sound who was the man who gave the words! Later, one of Qin Muxue's right-hand men, Chu Nianwu! No wonder he can know those secrets, no wonder he wants to instigate Daqi to send troops, this is simply a bureau set up by Qin Muxue and Yaoyun!
"Stop! No troops! He couldn't help but let out a loud voice, and after shouting urgently, Qin Muyu bit his lip and stomped his feet. The people here can't see her, and they probably can't hear her, so how can this be good?
Just when Qin Muyu was in a hurry, Qi Lin suddenly turned around.
How to describe Qi Lin's eyes at that time, a moment of sharpness, followed by doubt, and then his lips moved slightly, but his face was shocked.
Seeing that Qi Lin seemed to hear it, Qin Muyu didn't care how incredible it was. It's incredible.
"Don't send troops, it's all Yaoyun's conspiracy."
Qi Lin looked in the direction of the dragon chair, there was clearly no one there, but he clearly heard a gentle female voice calling him, talking to him, this is-
"Why?" Just about to ask, Qi Lin suddenly stopped, looking at the Manchu Dynasty as if he hadn't heard a sound, the guess in his heart was a little more certain, but he didn't dare to step there, let alone ask out loud.
"Qi Lin, don't send troops. I'll tell you the reason later. ”
Seeing Qi Lin staring in her direction and making sure that Qi Lin could hear it, Qin Muyu took two steps towards where he was, and said in a clearer and firmer voice.
"Are you the goddess of Qizhuo?" Qi Lin didn't want to answer her words as Qin Muyu did, but asked in a respectful and cautious voice.
Qi Zhuo? Qin Muyu just wanted to go back, but after thinking about it, if she was recognized as some "Qizhuo Goddess", what she said should be obeyed, right? It just so happens that she shouldn't explain it, or she can't understand her state of "not seeing people, only hearing their voices".
"Yes. Listen to me, and you must not send troops. ”
The shock in Qi Lin's heart was indescribable: there are really gods in this world, and the goddesses they worship actually exist?! The goddess appeared on his throne, did God bless him?!
I didn't understand why Qi Lin was excited for a moment, Qin Muyu was anxious. She didn't know how long she could stay here, did this Qi Lin listen to her?
But I saw Qi Lin actually kneel down in her direction with a puff of his robe, kneeling down in the eyes of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military differences, with piety in his eyes, and the proud head that was held high was facing the person he couldn't even see, and slammed it on the ground!
"Your Majesty!" The people of the Manchu Dynasty didn't know what was going on, but they didn't dare to approach this suddenly abnormal king.
"Get up." How could Qin Muyu stand this kneeling, she walked forward and wanted to help Qi Lin up, but before she could reach out, Qi Lin suddenly raised her head and fished her out, and actually fished her in her arms.
"Are you really a goddess?" The scorching breath was spitting in his ears, Qin Muyu's breath was stagnant, could he see himself?
Qi Lin looked at the woman who suddenly appeared in his arms with his tentative hug, and his expression was inexplicable.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" The elder of the country, who had been the most active in the debate before, suddenly saw their king suddenly speak to the air like a demonic barrier, and then knelt down in front of his dragon chair, and now he hugged the air as if he was holding something in his arms.
Isn't he going to send troops to Yaoyun, and the king is excited?
Finding that no one else could see the woman in his arms, Qi Lin controlled Qin Muyu with one hand, and the other hand wandered over her smooth little face, and finally slid to his lips.
"They can't see you?"
Qin Muyu couldn't move, she was secretly annoyed in her heart, she had always been restrained recently, and her force was like paper paste in front of these men, and she had no power to parry.
"How do you see me?" Ignoring the big hand that pressed the corner of his mouth, Qin Muyu's face was calm, and he really had a sense of solemn compassion like a bodhisattva.
Who she really is, I'll find out for myself. Qi Lin smiled in his heart, and while sighing at the soft touch in his hand, he asked,
"Why can't you send troops? Well? The woman in her arms is clearly a girl, her big watery eyes are still blinking, which makes people feel pitiful, although the softness also makes people feel calm, but she can't hold down the ** that Qi Lin wants to bully her in her heart.
"Yaoyun ......" was just about to speak, but Qin Muyu felt a headache, as if something was sawing her brain inch by inch, making it difficult for her to breathe.
"Yaoyun still has Wei Duan in charge of the troops, the Qin family and Yaoyun secretly send food, Chu Nianwu has no good intentions......" I don't know what I said, Qin Muyu felt dizzy, there was darkness in front of him, and the rest was gone.
The girl who had said three words disappeared into her arms abruptly as if she appeared, Qi Lin stretched out her hand and shook it, only there seemed to be a fragrance of peach blossoms.
In the worried or strange gazes of the ministers, Qi Lin sat back on the dragon chair.
"Thou shalt not send troops. Reason, the goddess gave me an oracle not to send troops. Saying this, Qi Lin looked at Chu Nianwu, who was standing in front of him and seemed to be about to speak.
"Chu Aiqing, do you have any objections?"
When Qin Muyu woke up, she only had a headache, and when she sat up, she found that she was still lying in Duanmuli's house, with a thin quilt on her body.
Outside, the night is as bright as water, and the moonlight is pouring into the city.
Although Qin Muyu didn't understand how she went to the palace of Great Qi, she understood how she woke up.
Outside the window, the sound of a flute that could not be heard in the ears was bursting.
