Chapter 305: Listening to the room
PS: I wish Mi Guo in the medical concubine group a speedy recovery, Mo Da.
There is an old saying, "nothing is sick", the most precious thing in a person's life is the body, and I hope that the little daughters-in-law who read books will have a great body, no disease and no pain, and welcome a better life.
------Off topic------
She lifted her chin high, "Wait and see, you'll see it soon." β
"Oh", Zhao Zhu seemed to be smiling, and he didn't answer.
"Ah Qi is talented, not only that, but I will also help you a lot."
She smiled, did not explain, but squeezed Zhao Zhu's hand.
Isn't that a term she coined?
"......" Xia Chuqi rolled his eyes.
"Revolutionary base?" Zhao Zhu was a little puzzled by her new term, but his ability to accept it was very fast, and he barely waited for her to answer, he nodded to himself and looked at her approvingly, "Ah Qi is a good student, this sentence is very accurate, it is the revolutionary base." β
"I understand, let's open up a revolutionary base area."
Suddenly realized, Xia Chuqi's eyes rolled and he laughed.
Zhao Zun said, "To consolidate the strength of the north, you have to dig the foundation first to repair the house, let alone subvert a government?" β
Xia Chuqi rubbed his forehead, "Why do you have to take Juyong Pass first?" β
The bloody war is about to begin.
Regardless of private friendship for the time being, once a fight starts, real knives and real guns will definitely be used.
But if Zhao Zhu's troops came to the city and took Juyong Pass, they would have a reason to go to war.
The previous Juyong Pass had not been broken, and it was difficult for them to enter the pass.
If it is only about their friendship with Hasar, it is true that they do not need to fight to make peace, but after all, Hasar has not yet succeeded to the throne in name and became the emperor of Beidi. Moreover, there are two princesses in Beidi who are concubines in the harem of Nanyan, and there is an alliance between the two countries under the city. Now that the army is rising, it is natural for Beidi to help the allies to exterminate the rebels. What's more, Emperor Beidi has always been jealous of Zhao Zhu, and after many years of fighting, the Beidi people have always regarded him as an enemy, so wouldn't it be better to take this opportunity to beat him?
In the end, it was Zhao Shijiu, and he made the key point incisively in one sentence.
"He's just a prince."
Looking at her eager gaze, Zhao Jun replied extremely cleverly.
Xia Chuqi asked nervously, "What is the result?" β
Zhao Zun pondered for a moment, "That day, I had a long talk with Hasar. β
Xia Chuqi touched his chin, glanced at him and thought for a moment, and then asked, "Your Highness, does you have a good plan for attacking the city?" I think the most important thing at the moment is not how to attack Juyong Pass, but how to deal with Beidi and Wuliang Khan? Moreover, what kind of plans these two brothers have planned, and whether they colluded with Zhao Mianze or not, it is not clear. β
Dare to love is all "claims", all to scare people?
ββ¦β¦β
Zhao Bottle said, "It is claimed to be 150,000, but in fact it is only 100,000." β
Xia Chuqi said again: "How many of us are there? β
Zhao Zun said, "It is known as an army of 200,000, but according to detectives, it is less than 150,000." β
Nodding his head "um", Xia Chuqi suddenly asked, "How many people are there in Juyong Pass?" β
Immediately, he retorted, "But the situation forced him to fight." β
Zhao Jun nodded in approval.
When the scout retreated, Xia Chuqi sat in the tent and whispered to Zhao Zhu for analysis.
"A person who has a family and a business and is so rich that he is definitely not willing to go to war and die."
This General Fu had some military exploits in the early years, after sitting in Juyong Pass, he did not see much of the achievements of the frontier, but his family business was getting bigger and bigger, he used his identity and the special position of Juyong Pass to sell Central Plains specialties to merchants outside the Guan, such as tea, silk, salt, etc., and bought some furs, cattle, sheep and horses outside the Guan, as a middleman, from which he obtained high profits, and he has become rich in recent years.
This sentence may sound contradictory at first glance, but it is not.
In their conversation, Xia Chuqi learned about an interesting thing - the Juyong Pass, who was "surrounded" by soldiers and horses from three routes, and the guard surnamed Fu turned out to be an out-and-out businessman.
The situation seems to be more delicate.
As Zhao Bottle had previously envisioned, the scout came to report that Beidi Hasar had pulled out the camp overnight last night and approached Juyong Pass for thirty miles. At the same time, Amu Gulang also approached Juyong Pass from the right flank, no more, no less, and exactly thirty miles, as if he had said yes, advancing and retreating together with Beidi, and it was like confronting Hasar.
If he captures Juyong Pass, what should he do for Beidi and Wuliang Khan outside the pass?
Today's situation is equivalent to the three-legged stand of Zhao Bottle, Hasar, and Dongfang Qingxuan, with a "pie in the middle". The strategic significance of Juyong Pass cannot be ignored -- it is the first gateway into Beiping City. Moreover, Zhao Zhu gave up going south, went the opposite way, and waved his army north to take Juyong Pass, and his purpose was a little unclear to outsiders.
This place is only a few dozen miles away from Juyong Pass, and Zhao Zhu's purpose of attacking Juyong Pass has never been concealed. As a result, Beidi Hasar and Uliang Khan Amugulang, who had been watching from outside Juyong Pass, had abnormal movements when he took Miyun.
Zhao Zhu strode into the Chinese military tent, and before he sat down, all kinds of information followed.
This place of Miyun, the terrain is dangerous, it is the main road of transportation from the Central Plains to Liaodong and Mobei, and it has been the throat of the soldiers since ancient times. Therefore, in such a tense situation, Miyun City at this time seemed to be artificially shrouded in a shackle under the night.
Xia Chuqi and Zhao Zun arrived at the Miyun camp in the early hours of the morning.
If you don't go to the front line, you will never know what the real tension is on the front line.
~
It seems that this war has really stifled many good things for lovers......
She remembered what she had said when she saw Chen Jing earlier, and she couldn't help laughing.
"Haha-" Xia Chuqi laughed even louder.
"When the war is over, see how you clean you up."
Zhao Tuo snorted coldly, reached out to tighten her waist, and pinched her fiercely.
In order to hurry back to the camp, this time he was indeed "quick to decide...... But now that he has said this, what seems to have changed? Isn't that disgusting him?
A burst of laughter almost didn't suffocate Zhao Zun to death.
Xia Chuqi's eyes narrowed slightly like a fox, and he smiled idly, his tone was indescribable, "Because they wouldn't have thought that His Royal Highness King Jin would ...... It was over so quickly. Hahaha! β
Zhao Jun raised his eyebrows, "Why are you so sure?" β
"Don't worry!" Before he could finish speaking, Xia Chuqi interrupted him with a smile, "They won't know." β
"Ah Qi, if they know that we are eavesdropping......"
According to his identity and temperament, he disdains to eavesdrop on such things. But he didn't want to, but he couldn't resist Xia Chuqi's interest...... So, he listened to the room helplessly, and helplessly watched her happily "look at the room", and his heart was still awkward at this time.
Zhao Zhu took Xia Chuqi's hand and went to the stable, his face was a little unsightly.
The drizzle outside was rustling.
Being overheard, and eavesdropping...... Isn't this the fate of legend?
When you come out of the dormitory, you have to go to the stables, and go to the nearest place in the heart hall. After the two people "steal food" from the dormitory and then "sneak away", they will inevitably pass through here. But they didn't expect that they would overhear Qinglan and Chen Jing's two children talking about love.
Xia Chuqi grinned and took his hand, "Master, let's go." β
"......" Zhao Zun glanced at her, like looking at a monster.
"If you don't want to, I'll help her."
"......" Zhao was silent.
"I'm finally willing, but I'm in a hurry."
Watching the two people inside leave separately, Xia Chuqi, who was hiding outside the door, breathed a long sigh of relief.
The light in the temple of the heart was dim.
~
"I do."
Qinglan lowered her head slightly, and lowered her voice shyly.
Chen Jing really paused and looked back at her with a nervous expression.
"Hey-" She hasn't said anything yet, why did she leave?
It wasn't until he saw him leave and was frightened by the cold wind swept out of his clothes that he reacted.
Qinglan's mind has been dizzy.
After repeating the useless words again, he raised his hand, and wanted to hug her again, but the outstretched hand froze in mid-air, and still did not let go, closed his eyes suddenly, turned and strode away.
"I'm sorry, it's me who is not good, I, I'm still leaving!"
Chen Jing saw her hanging her head silently, and she didn't know what she was thinking, and she felt more and more that her actions tonight were too impulsive, maybe the girl was angry.
"I'm leavingβ"
In fact, from Chu Qi, she unconsciously accepted some more trendy ideas, and there was one sentence that was the most impressive. Chu Qi said that if men and women want to become relatives connected by blood and blood in the real sense, they must be husband and wife. Thoughts such as cypress and drawings will only push feelings into a desperate situation.
But can she speak? She doesn't mind if there is a Ming media marrying.
She's going to hear it's not this, it's not this.
It's just that after hearing this, Qinglan's face was even more embarrassed than before.
In the future, Zhao Bottle will be the emperor, how can he lose the benefits of Chen Jing?
He was right.
"You wait, when the war is over, I will marry you. At present, we will do our own things first, and work together to escort His Highness's country, and when His Highness's country is stable, our future and happiness will ...... It will also come naturally. β
Just when she was careful and entangled, the warm embrace suddenly disappeared, Chen Jing grabbed her shoulders heavily, pulled her body out of his arms, looked down at her, and his eyes flashed with determination.
If he asks her to sleep now, will she agree, or will she agree?
Qinglan's heart suddenly seemed to be out of control, pounding wildly.
At this time...... Could it be that he wants to have a "husband and wife" with her first, and he is making a commitment?
After dealing with it for so long, he never said the word "marry".
"I'll marry you."
"Miss Qinglan!" Chen Jing hugged her tightly, feeling that the coolness on his body had faded, and her soft body brought him a heat like fire, which made him uncontrollable, and finally managed to control the impulse in his heart, buried his head deep in her neck, and muttered.
She looked up, but before she could see his face clearly, the whole person was pulled into his arms.
But before her waist could bend down, his hand was grabbed.
"Ahh Qinglan reached out to pick it up.
Originally, receiving a food box was an impossible thing for two people with martial arts. But partially, the situation still happened. Qing Lan looked at him fixedly, he also looked at Qing Lan for a moment, the two of them didn't know who was in a trance, who was distracted, anyway, as soon as the hand touched, she let go of the cold, but he didn't catch it, the poor food box "slammed" and fell to the ground, helplessly let out a roar "Do you blame me", and rolled out.
Coughing lightly, he said "yes" and reached for it.
Chen Jing blushed, how could he say ...... He's not hungry?
Speaking of "master", I think of what my master is doing. Thinking of what the master did, it became even more ambiguous.
"I'm afraid I can't eat it. You, have you eaten? β
Frustratedly brushing her hair, she looked at Chen Jing uneasily, not knowing how to express her feelings at this time. Just gently raised the food box that was still holding tightly in his hand, and said something weird.
"Little lover, look at you, you don't know how to eat the meat in your mouth, you deserve to starve!"
In her mind, Chu Qi's mocking face subconsciously appeared.
She is not a hypocritical woman, and she has no father or mother, and she has never expected her marriage with him to have her parents' orders and matchmakers' words. Moreover, the man in front of her was originally the person she longed for...... Why did she push him away when it came to the end?
Qinglan bit her lower lip tightly, and looked at his panicked appearance, and was also a little annoyed.
"I ......" After a moment's pause, he suddenly raised his hand and slapped his face, and then his voice was hoarse, low, and annoyed, "Miss Qinglan, Chen was confused for a while, and Meng Lang ......"
Her coquettish voice was in her ears, Chen Jing was drunk as a slap in the face, and he was shocked, he took two steps back coldly, looked at the flickering eyes of the woman in front of him, and was stunned.
"You, don't do that."
Sensing the changes in his body, Qinglan seemed to react to something, and blushed as if she didn't understand, and she pushed him coldly.
"Brother Chen!"
At that time, he was nervous, panicked, and felt his heart beating faster, but he didn't have the slightest charming mind. But at this moment, he was ashamed to find that he had an obscene and filthy mind about the woman in his arms that he shouldn't have. I can't wait to knock her down, just like the Fengyue Xiaoben who had secretly seen her in the barracks before. It seemed that only by doing something like that to her could he relieve the heat and thirst in his heart a little......
Except for the time when he rescued Xia Chuqi in Jianping City, he had never hugged any woman like this in his life. But hugging Xia Chuqi at the beginning and hugging Qinglan now is a completely different feeling.
Chen Jing's mind was very chaotic and strange at this time.
No...... With such a warm fragrant nephrite in his arms, he was comfortable all over his body.
Under the weather? He was sick.
But the muscle that could be reached was tight, and when she stroked it, even his whole body froze, so frightened that she didn't dare to come out. For a while, he was shy and scared and asked in a low voice, "What is wrong with you?" β
She hesitated for a moment, then slowly raised her hand to his arm, trying to reassure him.
Qinglan was a little distressed.
"Brother Chen......"
Qinglan looked at him with a red face, but his head hung down slightly, almost landing on her shoulder, and the expression on his face was blocked by the candle flame in the shadows, and it was indistinct...... Such an abnormality made Qinglan puzzled. She didn't know what was wrong with him, but she felt his body tense, as if he was trying to endure something.
In the silence, there was only the sound of two people's heartbeats.
Silence, or silence.
She was so nervous that her heart was about to burst out of her throat, but he didn't do anything more than that. He just hugged her, hugged her, in the dark shadows, hugged her...... I don't know if he was walking too quickly just now, or if he was more nervous than her, the breathing sound was so heavy that it had a strange tail sound, which hit Qinglan's heart, but it didn't calm down for a long time.
Chen Jing has always given her the impression of being calm and forbearing...... How so?
Such a frivolous behavior of Meng Lang frightened Qinglan.
Hearing Chen Jing's sigh, before Qinglan could react, he suddenly took two steps forward, hugged her violently, and pressed heavily against the cold wall...... Probably afraid of hurting her, he just pressed her body, suddenly came back to his senses, and then crossed his own arm, cushioned her back, and then pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly.
Sigh......
Just like all lovers in the world, they are worried, speculating, nervous, not knowing each other's thoughts, and afraid that their actions will dislike each other, so they can only cautiously test each other's emotions, the evasive and hesitant eyes, inadvertently, also describe this only one light of the heart of the temple is particularly ambiguous.
After speaking in unison again, no one said anything first, but just looked at each other silently, and that strange emotion turned into a strange thinking logic in a strange atmosphere - no one dared to speak again.
"You speak first."
"You speak first."
The two of them said in unison, and before they finished speaking, they laughed again.
"I ......," Chen Jing wanted to say again.
"Are you ......," she wanted to ask.
Qinglan's current age is not small among the unmarried girls nowadays, but she is unemployed and does not understand the mysteries of men and women. How did she understand how stimulating the blushing and heartbeating scene and sound were for a young man with strong blood? What's more, at this moment, there is a girl in front of him that he likes and likes him?
He called her name, his deep eyes shining strangely, but there was no follow-up.
"Miss Qinglan......"
The two of them fled for their lives and entered the Cunxin Palace, and Chen Jingfang stopped.
Like him, she didn't say anything.
Through the apse, there is also the antechamber. Out of the front hall, through a long passage, the two of them arrived at the quiet and uninhabited Cunxin Palace...... Along the way, Chen Jing strode forward, panting for a rough breath and not saying a word. Qinglan was much shorter than him, and it was a little difficult to keep up with him, almost trotting, and her heart was pounding.
The area of the Jin Palace, Beiping, is very large, and it is more spacious than the Jingshi Jin Palace.
Chen Jing was stunned for a while, looking at her blankly, watching her laugh more and more, his handsome face burned wildly, for fear of disturbing the two mandarin ducks in the inner hall, or maybe he was afraid that the two mandarin ducks inside would find them, he almost flew over, grabbed Qinglan's wrist, and quickly took her away from the location of the dormitory in embarrassment.
She is usually quiet and steady, and she doesn't like to laugh like Xia Chuqi, but when she laughs, the corners of her eyes are crooked like a crescent moon hanging high in the sky, holy and beautiful, especially here with the reflection of raindrops under the eaves, the crescent moon is even more crystalline, and it is very beautiful.
Looking at his face that was even more embarrassed than herself, Qinglan "poofed" and couldn't help laughing.
"I ...... Ahem, I want to go and see Your Highness. β
Unexpectedly, Chen Jing pursed his lips and also explained.
She wanted to explain why she lingered and lingered at the door, but she couldn't deliver food, and she didn't need to stay for long. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she should have left earlier, otherwise she would not have been "caught" by Chen Jing, and it became as if she had the intention to peek into the room of His Royal Highness and the princess.
"This rice ......" Qinglan didn't know where to put her hands and feet, so she lifted the food box and said hesitantly, "Oh yes, Brother Chen, I'm ...... I'm here to deliver food. β
Now, the two of them are looking at each other, inside is the love between Zhao Zhu and Xia Chuqi, you and me, and outside is the quiet courtyard and the drizzle that urges feelings...... In such an embarrassing and weird atmosphere, the light in their eyes jumped in the lights, and their faces couldn't help but be a little embarrassed.
These days, Chen Jing was ordered by Zhao Zhu to stay in Beiping, although he and Qinglan may meet from time to time, but his stay, shouldering the safety of the entire Beiping City, including Zhao Zhu's wife and daughter, he feels a heavy responsibility, almost dare not put the slightest love for children in front, and his mind is devoted to defense, so even if he meets her, he just says hello, and then hurriedly leaves......
But as soon as he turned around, he saw Qing Lan, who was still standing there looking at him with a food box.
Clenching his fist to his mouth, he took a breath and quickly retreated.
"Ahem!"
Thinking of this, his face quickly became hot and burned enough.
Your Highness and the Princess are inside?
When he said the last sentence, Chen Jing's face was also a little hot. But when he embarrassedly crossed Qinglan's body, stepped into the threshold of the back hall in three or two steps, and entered the inner hall, the suppressed, low, groaning, painful, and happy voice in his ears stunned him.
Thinking like this, Chen Jing glanced at Qinglan and arched his hand: "Miss Qinglan, Chen heard from the guards that His Highness suddenly rushed back to the mansion from Miyun, and he was afraid that there was something urgent, so he rushed over to see him...... I, I'll come back to you. β
Could it be that she has something to say to him?
He came to find His Highness, and he wanted to talk about business, what did he say outside her?
I don't know what she meant, a look of surprise flashed on Chen Jing's face.
"Let's talk about it outside."
Without waiting for Chen Jing to react, she rushed over, as if she wanted to stop him, and as if she didn't want him to see anything, she looked back at the door strangely and whispered.
"Brother Chen, don't go in."
When Qinglan heard his voice, as if frightened, she stiffened her neck and turned her head, and her puffy face quickly became a little ruddy, adding a bit of delicate color in the hazy light of the horn lantern under the eaves.
"Miss Qinglan, why don't you go in?"
Chen Jing was stunned, frowned puzzled, and walked over.
At this time, the rain outside was a little lighter, but he was still stained with some moisture, and his feet stepped up the steps of the temple gate, he patted the moisture on his clothes, and when he looked up, he saw Qinglan carrying a food box, wandering at the gate of the apse with a strange expression.
Stepping on the sound of the night rain, he went straight to the apse where Zhao Zhu and Xia Chuqi lived.
Chen Jing came down from the sentry post at the city gate and hurried into the palace of the king of Jin.
