Chapter 193: Joining forces
Xie Ke opened his mouth, but finally decided to drink her soup obediently.
Because she found that the boy was not as simple as she thought, he was actually a scheming person, but his scheming was usually covered by his domineering temperament.
It was only at such a time, when he was surrounded by strong enemies, and he still had to take care of her delicate wife, that he showed so much.
In the next few days, they were more like traveling in the north, but there was really no good scenery in the north in early spring, but with Qi Lu with him, Xie Ke was still happy along the way. Qi Lu sometimes rode a horse, and sometimes accompanied Xie Ke to sit in the carriage that had been specially added with a few animal skins.
Most of the time, Xie Ke was half-leaning on Qi Lu's arms.
And the man naturally placed one hand on Xie Ke's small* abdomen, feeling the slight changes every day...... Occasionally, the boy would look like a child, smile very heartily and say to Xie Ke that his son has grown up again.
When Xie Ke glared, he immediately changed his words and said that our daughter is really good.
Xie Ke didn't care much about whether he was pregnant with a man or a woman in his belly, left and right that this was their child, and Qi Lu was by no means a son-first-daughter. In contrast, if he had to choose, I am afraid he would prefer her to have a daughter in her belly.
Because he always said that he wanted a daughter as gentle and lovely as her, and then he would be both big and young.
This was said a little old-fashioned, which made Xie Ke laugh uncontrollably, and said in his heart that he was just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, and he wanted her to indulge him.
As for Xie Ke's body. According to Lin Changyuan's words, she didn't take so many tonic medicines for nothing...... As long as he is not tired and does not hurt or hurt, Xie Ke can join forces with Qi Lu to swim in the north......
walked on the road like this for more than a month, and at this time, Xie Ke was nearly four months pregnant, and his belly was already significantly bulging. And Qi Lu finally received the news.
The rebel army in the north has gathered outside Wuzhen, preparing to attack the city.
Then they went straight to Wuzhen.
The day Xie Ke and Qi Lu arrived in Wuzhen, it was a sunny day, and they saw flags flying on the city wall of Wuzhen from a distance......
Xie Ke looked at it fixedly, and his heart was shocked. Then he couldn't help but look at the young man beside him. The boy saw it too, but only smiled faintly, and then told the man to enter the city.
He Zhang personally went out of the city to greet him, and he was worried about Xie Ke's stomach. He Zhang expressed great joy. and also strongly expressed that his expectations for the little lady are greater than that of the little boy. Xie Ke, who said bluntly, smiled, and Qi Lu saw Xie Ke smiling and patted He Zhang's shoulder. In the end, I told him very solemnly.
Since he is so envious of his master, he is going to be a father.
It's better to try it himself, he decided to go back to Beijing and marry a daughter-in-law for He Zhang.
The two masters and servants shouted away in front of Xie Ke's eyes.
Xie Ke was directly arranged to live in the largest mansion in the town, which was said to be the largest, and the entire mansion was not as big as Xie Ke's yard in Xie's house. However, there are four main rooms and two ear rooms at the entrance, and the entire courtyard can be seen at a glance, but fortunately, it is still clean, Cong Rui helped Xie Ke and went directly into the inner room.
According to Lin Changyuan, who was instructed by Qi Lu to ask Xie Ke for his pulse, he said.
This house is already the best house in Wuzhen, although there is a black stone in Wuzhen, it is the kind of black stone-like thing, which is called Wushi by the people in the north.
But the black stone is extremely rare......
Usually you have to dig deep, but sometimes you don't see the slightest shadow of black stone when you dig more than ten zhang. So this Wuzhen gradually went from the original bustle to depression. “…… The young grandmother has a good pulse, which shows that the master takes good care of the young grandmother. Young grandma can rest assured that you and the little master have nothing to do, and they only need to recuperate for a few days.
Speaking of this black stone, it is very magical.
It is said that this thing can burn for a long time when left in a fire, and it is not as large as the smoke of charcoal.
It's just that it's hard to find, and it goes back to decades ago, when someone accidentally got some, and at first thought it was a rare mineral, but it didn't seem to be anything precious except for dyeing things black.
Later, he inadvertently dropped the black stone into the charcoal basin.
Only then did I discover the wonderful use of this black stone...... After that, the town was changed to Wuzhen, and people came to hear the news. However, there are very few people who find black stones. ”
Lin Changyuan finished asking for the pulse, and explained to Xie Ke's master and servant while giving Xie Ke a prescription for repairing the fetus. Cong Rui listened in surprise. "Wushi? Is it a black stone? ”
"Almost, that thing is very black, one mo and one hand black. But in my opinion, it's more like a kind of charcoal with less fireworks. You can find some to take back to keep your young grandmother warm. It is said to be very warm, and a few black stones can be burned overnight.
"A * night? Young grandma, you must let your grandfather bring some back. Let's send some to Mrs. Chu and our old lady. There are also four masters...... There is also Fourth Master Chu. ”
Lin Changyuan shook his head, and said in his heart that a girl is a girl.
It's really long hair and short knowledge, and now there are tens of thousands of rebels in the north gathered outside the city, and she is still here thinking about bringing things back to give gifts. I don't know where He Zhang likes this girl? Every time I mention this girl, she looks like she has eaten bee droppings.
"Okay, Cong Rui, you go and dispense the medicine according to the prescription first."
Cong Rui responded, and took the prescription that Lin Changyuan opened to open the fetus, and went out with a happy face.
"The young grandmother is really good-tempered, Cong Rui, this girl said that the wind is the rain, and the young grandmother can stand it."
"Cong Rui is just a little more straightforward, but he is a very good person. It's you, who gave me a look to get out of the bush, but what do you have to say? Lin Changyuan couldn't help but show a look of admiration, his young grandmother really gave birth to a seven-trick exquisite heart. Don't hide it from the young grandmother, these days when the grandfather is away, the emperor has sent people to come. found that it was not the second master who was in charge, but the fourth master of Chu, and he was obviously very surprised.
The subordinates thought that this was also the reason why the second master and the fourth master Chu acted in this play.
It is to make the emperor confused.
It's the only way to stall for time...... When the news is transmitted back to the capital, and then the emperor approves it back, I am afraid that the lord has already subdued the northern border...... It's just that our city gate was finally forcibly hung with the flag of Great Wei, and Fourth Master Chu also said that he would act in accordance with the emperor's orders.
Young grandma. It was not the subordinates' motives to suspect Fourth Master Chu. In fact, if this continues, what the Lord has done in the north will not be a bamboo basket for nothing. In the end, His Majesty rewarded him for his meritorious deeds, but it was Chu Siye who rewarded him.
Some of his subordinates couldn't figure out what he was thinking, but they didn't dare to ask directly.
That's when I came to ask the young grandmother. ”
Xie Ke smiled, and his heart said that this is the case.
That's how Qi Lu planned it? He said that she didn't have to worry about everything, he made his own decision, and it turned out to be ...... House.
It's easy to say, but it's really easy to do. A few more can do it. The northern border is far away from the capital, and it can be said that the emperor is far away. It takes at least ten and a half days to transmit something to the north to the capital, and it takes a month to deliver the news back and forth.
Qi Lu probably couldn't be sure when the people officially sent by the emperor would be able to reach the north.
So he acted in such a drama.
Let the little uncle Chu Ye be the town of Wuzhen.
The emperor must have received the news about Qi Lu in advance, so he couldn't wait to send someone to deliver the decree. The will is nothing more than to make Zirek do his duty. Conquer the North as soon as possible. Pacify the victims of the disaster in the north. But there is absolutely no mention of money and food.
The emperor was probably still very angry at this time.
Nu Qi Lu obviously wants no people, and he wants silver without silver, how can he mix in the north.
But he did send someone. only to find that it was not at all like it was passed back, and it seemed that there was nothing to do with Qi Lu from beginning to end. He just didn't lose his life in the North.
The emperor was naturally confused, and he would definitely send people back to Beijing to restore their lives.
It's the time to go back and forth, which Qi Lu and Chu Ye teamed up to 'grab'.
As for the ultimate reward for meritorious deeds? Could it be that the emperor really knows how to reward meritorious deeds? Where is the work?
Collusion with the rebels in the North? Or are you thorning up the forces in the north to 'do nonsense'...... If the high-ranking emperor slanders people, it will be difficult for anyone to fight back. "Mr. Lin, after experiencing poisoning and imprisonment, do you really think that with your master's skill, you can make Your Majesty change his mind?"
Lin Changyuan shook his head.
"Naturally not, the Holy One today...... He is a very determined person. If he is determined to make a move, he will not look forward to the past. But the master is different from others......
Ye is His Majesty's favorite courtier.
Ye can enter and leave the palace at any time since he was a child, which is an honor that even the first auxiliary minister does not have.
Not only that, no matter what trouble the lord caused, His Majesty never blamed him. "Love? Do you mean drug detention? If this is the emperor's preference, the emperor is indeed very partial to Qi Erye. Xie Ke replied quietly.
Lin Changyuan choked in his throat for a while.
“…… The subordinates know that His Majesty does not really like the master. But the Lord has made such a great contribution this time, Your Majesty may ......"
"You may feel that you have become a tiger after all, and you can't wait to cut off the claws of this little tiger."
"Your Majesty is really that ruthless?" Lin Changyuan said uncertainly.
Xie Ke smiled, ruthless? An emperor, if his heart is not ruthless, how can he sit in that high position. Lin Changyuan didn't really know, he just didn't want to believe it, so he took the opportunity to ask questions.
In fact, he didn't know what to do in his heart.
No matter how much Qi Lu has done, what awaits him is definitely not a reward for meritorious deeds.
So he simply dropped everything.
He has no work in the north, so naturally there will be no reward. Because of the reactive power, it is impossible to find any big mistakes. This is the real wisdom to protect one's self......
It's just that after all, it hurt the boy.
All kinds of calculations and all kinds of hard work, but in the end, they only ended up with two sleeves and a breeze...... "Having said that, after all, Fourth Master Chu is the uncle of the young grandmother. Won't the emperor be suspicious? "Naturally, we will be suspicious, what we do is a conspiracy. He was not afraid of the emperor's suspicion. But what if he was suspicious.
It is indeed the fourth master of Chu who sits in the big tent.
A group of people waited for the order of the fourth master of Chu.
Even if His Majesty is suspicious, can he deal with the second master lightly because of suspicion.
No, he won't. If he could, he would have done it early in the morning, why should he poison and detain the second master.
Emperor...... Because he is admired by the world, sometimes he can't do what he wants. (To be continued......)
