Chapter 188: Not good
The woman in black stopped the carriage: "Young General Yue, my son-in-law instructed me to give Gongzi Cen and Gongzi Xia a ride." As he spoke, he took out two letters and handed one of them to Yue Feiyun.
Yue Feiyun opened the letter and saw that Hua Manlou asked him to just go back to the barracks, he had destroyed the evidence in Hongzheng's hand, and asked him to send Yan Shiming back, saying that Yan Shiming would not be unfavorable to him. After reading the letter, he raised his eyes and looked at the woman in black: "Where is your son-in-law now?" β
The woman in black bowed down and said, "My son-in-law is healing in an inn in Hexi County. The carriage contained medicine, clothing, and water, as well as 100,000 taels of silver tickets. β
"Heh, your son-in-law thinks quite thoughtfully, and he deserves to be the No. 1 businessman in Dayun, and he is so generous."
The woman in black had a smile in her eyes: "I believe that someone will come to the young general soon." She glanced at the person Cen Shaoyou was holding in his arms: "Please help the young general help me help them into the car." β
Yue Feiyun felt unscrupulous at this time, and found that Cen Shaoyou's face was flushed and hurriedly reached out to probe his forehead, which was very hot. Looking at Xia Chen's breath again, it was very stable, but he was still unconscious.
The woman in black walked over: "Young General, how are they doing?" β
Yue Feiyun's expression was gloomy: "One is sick, and the other has been in a coma since last night." β
The woman in black was not surprised at all when she saw Xia Chen's white hair: "It's okay, leave it to me." β
Yue Feiyun was still a little uneasy, but if he really wanted to do something to them, he didn't have to bother so much, but ......
"What do you call the girl, can you give me a glimpse of her face?"
The woman in black hesitated for a moment: "The young general can't trust me?" Saying that, he untied his scarf: "My name is Lei Ying." β
Yue Feiyun saw that she was no more than ten years old, her skin was like condensed fat, her appearance was delicate, and at this time, she smiled lightly, and two dimples appeared on her cheeks. No matter how you look at it, she looks like a famous lady. "Sure enough, people are not disfigured."
Lei Ying smiled and said, "Is the young general saying that I am different from what I look and do?" β
Yue Feiyun hurriedly said: "No, no, I just didn't expect the girl's martial arts skills to be so young. β
"The Major General has won the award. Now you can trust me with people, right? β
Yue Feiyun first carried Xia Chen into the car, and then helped Cen Shaoyou get into the car to help him apply the medicine for the injury, and then said to Lei Ying: "If it is convenient to send the two of them out of the customs safely, give me a message." β
"Good. Major General, rest assured. I'm going to put them in place. β
Cen Shaoyou woke up and found himself in the carriage with Xia Chen. He propped himself up and lifted the curtain: "Are you?" What about Feiyun? β
Lei Ying said: "Young Master Cen, are you awake?" General Yue Shao has probably returned to the barracks at this time, and I am the slave of the playboy, and I sent the two out of the customs on the order of the son. β
"Playboy?" Cen Shaoyou didn't react for a while.
Lei Ying smiled and nodded: "There is water and snacks in the car, so you might as well use some." β
Cen Shaoyou felt a little dizzy and weak, put down the curtain and retreated to his seat. Looking at Xia Chen lying on the opposite seat, his white hair hung down like white jade, as if it was carved from ice and snow, and he couldn't help but lose his mind.
After noon, we arrived at Chengguan. Since the armistice between the Xuan Kingdom and the Great Cloud Kingdom, this border city has become more and more prosperous, with pedestrians wearing various costumes bustling on the road, and shops on the streets bustling with pΓΉ and bustling business.
Cen Shaoyou did not ignore the notices in many places, and the walls were plastered with his portrait of Xia Chen. Lifted the curtain of the car and opened a slit: "Girl." The customs will be investigated more strictly, and we are wanted by the imperial court. β
Lei Ying smiled: "Childe don't worry, no one will check this carriage." β
Sure enough, the road was unimpeded, and the guards at the pass only looked at the hand cards shown by Lei Ying and let them pass, and their attitude was extremely respectful.
Out of the customs is like going to another world, the sky is vast, the sun is white and the wind is wild, and the grassland that is about to enter the winter season is indescribably cold and desolate.
Cen Shaoyou had taken medicine and rested for most of the day, and he fed Xia Chen some water to see that she showed no signs of waking up. I couldn't help but sigh. He lifted the curtain and said to Lei Ying: "You go to the car to rest, I'll drive." β
"Let's come on, son, you are injured, and you can't get cold."
"But how can you afford a girl's family."
Lei Ying was slightly stunned: "I'm used to it." Besides, I'm familiar with the road here. β
Cen Shaoyou no longer insisted, it is not yet known what the next situation will be, and Xia Chen has someone to take care of him. He had to be energetic.
Along the way, hungry and thirsty, wearing the stars and the moon, day and night. At dusk on this day, Lei Ying stopped the carriage in front of the gate of a house: "Master Cen Gongzi." I can only send it here. β
Cen Shaoyou got out of the carriage and looked at the mansion, although it was not magnificent. But the environment is very good to build near the lake. "Dare to ask the girl where it is?"
"This is a private house for my son-in-law, and Mr. Cen can only live there."
"How far is it from Xuandu?"
Lei Ying thought for a moment: "At our speed, it can be reached in three days." Saying that, she stepped forward and knocked on the door a few times, and then explained to the doorman and took Cen Shaoyou into the courtyard.
After settling down and resting for a while, Lei Ying came to leave. "Master Cen, if you need to tell the servants and maids, I'll go back to Dayun."
Cen Shaoyou was a little surprised: "So urgent? β
Lei Ying's face was worried: "I'm worried about my son-in-law's injury. β
"So careful all the way, thank you all the way."
"Childe doesn't have to be polite, if there is anything urgent, please ask the king to inform me."
"Okay."
In the next few days, Cen Shaoyou invited all the famous doctors in Dongping County, but no one could see what was wrong with Xia Chen's body and why he was unconscious.
Cen Shaoyou was worried about Xia Chen and wanted to go to Cen Shaoze immediately, he couldn't eat for days and was anxious, and he finally decided to leave Xia Chen here first and go to Xuandu by himself.
At this time, Xuandu can be described as singing and dancing, the new emperor has just ascended the throne, amnesty to the world, light tax reduction, and the streets and alleys are full of virtuous recitations.
Cen Shaoyou knew that the new monarch of Xuanguo was the king of Hailing, and he couldn't help but think of a poem he wrote when he was in the big clouds, "Jiaolong hides and hides in the waves, and mixes with shrimp and toads." Wait for the corner of the head, shaking the thunderbolt and shaking the mountains and rivers. It can be seen that he has a high heart and great ambitions, but this person is indeed literate, martial, well-versed, wise and shrewd, and he is diligent in political affairs. The Kingdom of Xuan will be even stronger, and by that time......
The King of the Sea is a very ambitious man. Otherwise, he wouldn't have said, "What is the name of the northern country?" Words to come. Today's Dayun Kingdom is still greedy for pleasure and whitewashing, which is really worrying.
Cen Shaoyou knew that with his current identity, it was impossible for him to enter the palace to face the saint. So I first inquired about the location of King Ge's mansion. On the one hand, I wanted to see if I could have a chance to meet King Ge, and on the other hand, I asked about Shaoze's situation. On the other hand, Xia Chen mentioned that someone said that she was Princess Ge, and he wanted to find out whether it was true or not.
As soon as he arrived at the street where King Ge's mansion was located, he saw two gorgeous carriages parked in front of the palace, and twenty or thirty guards lined up on both sides. He got a little closer, just in time to see a handsome man helping a richly dressed woman out of the gate. Judging from the costumes, the young man should be King Ge and his princess.
Cen Shaoyou secretly scoffed, I heard that the nobles of Xuanguo did not pay attention to pomp and circumstance, it turned out to be a false rumor, not to mention this King Ge's brocade and jade belt. This Princess Ge is simply golden-covered and bright.
Before she could see the appearance of the princess, she got into the carriage, and then King Ge walked to the side of the carriage and said, "Ai Concubine, there are many rules in the palace, you can't be as willful as in the palace." The tone was full of pampering.
"Lord, the concubine is not used to entering the palace just now, and she is pregnant, it is rare that the emperor can afford me, and ordered me to go into the palace to chat with her to relieve her boredom. I think even if I occasionally cause a little trouble, the emperor will not blame me. β
King Ge shook his head and sighed, "Yes." Take good care of the concubine and yourself. β
"I know, the prince must come to the palace to see me when he is free."
"Concubine Ai, don't worry, I will go to see you as long as I have time."
The two parted with each other again. The princess seemed to have been crying for a while before leaving, and King Ge did not turn around and go back to his house until the carriage disappeared into the street. It makes people feel that they are so unloving.
Cen Shaoyou found a passer-by and inquired, this King Ge only has this princess. And she has just married and is still a newlywed Yan'er, and I heard that this princess has escaped marriage before. But after entering the door, the relationship between the two is excellent.
Seeing that it was still early, Cen Shaoyou found a restaurant, ordered two plates of side dishes and a pot of wine, and drank slowly. At this time, there were no customers in the store, so Cen Shaoyou chatted with the guy without a word.
Asked about the Ministry of Rites, the guy immediately came over: "Doesn't Childe know?" The original Ministry of Rites Shangshu Zheng was splashed with blood in the court, that is a miserable one! After succeeding to the throne, King Hai has not yet appointed the Ministry of Rites. β
Cen Shaoyou said: "I heard that not long ago, there were several envoys from the Great Cloud Kingdom, do you know?" β
"Ouch boy, don't mention this, it was the night of the banquet envoy, the original emperor went crazy and killed the queen, and then committed suicide."
Cen Shaoyou looked admiring: "You also know this kind of palace matter!" β
"I know more."
Cen Shaoyou beckoned: "Anyway, there are no guests now, come and have a drink with me." β
The guy hesitated for a moment, and saw that the shopkeeper was not there, but he didn't sit down at the table: "Gongzi Xie appreciates the wine." β
After three glasses of wine, the young man's face was red, and he became bolder: "Childe still wants to know something, just ask the villain." β
"Hmm...... Do you know King Ge? β
The little guy slapped his thigh: "Childe, you asked, the villain's cousin is a long-term worker in King Ge's Mansion." According to the villain, King Ge is a good man who is difficult to find in heaven and on earth, he is handsome and has a good character, and he can fight! Before the emperor gave the marriage, Miss Hei still didn't want to marry, how about now! Hum! β
"How?" Cen Shaoyou asked.
"I heard that Miss Hei was injured and had amnesia, and King Ge didn't dislike it, and he went around looking for medical advice for her. Not long ago, King Ge also took the princess to the color sleeve workshop to see the song and dance, and it was her blessing to marry King Ge. β
Cen Shaoyou exclaimed: "What you said is true? Princess Ge has ever lost her memory? β
"I said Son, ordinary people really don't know about this, my brother knows the personal maid who waits for the princess, is it fake to listen to her?"
Cen Shaoyou thought for a while: "Then you said that the princess has been cured now, right?" β
"Yes, I heard that it was a miracle doctor from the Great Cloud Kingdom who healed him, and he just returned to the palace six or seven days ago." The guy said and saw that a guest was coming and said, "Son, use it slowly, and the villain will go and say hello." β
The more Cen Shaoyou thought about it, the more he felt that this was strange, amnesia was not common, and there was an inexplicable coincidence in time, but how could this princess be an impostor? Thinking of Xia Chen's current appearance, he couldn't sit still anymore.
The so-called salute before the soldiers, if you can't go through the door, then go to the window or jump over the wall. Thinking about it, Cen Shaoyou decided to report his name directly, and now he has nothing to scruple about. The doorman went in and soon opened the door again: "The prince is invited." β
The servant took Cen Shaoyou to the study and asked people to serve tea: "Son, please take a seat, the prince will be here soon." Then he turned and left.
After a while, the door of the study was pushed open, and the first person who came in was King Ge who Cen Shaoyou had seen at the door before, at this time he changed into a dark blue Yanju suit, the fabric was ordinary, the pattern was simple but the extraordinary temperament was not only not reduced at all, but also a little more calm and chic.
King Ge was followed by a man in black with a figure similar to him, with a handsome appearance and a pair of cold and slightly melancholy eyes, even Cen Shaoyou couldn't help but feel moved when he saw it.
In this way, one of the two is like the morning sun, and the other is like the moon on a cold night; One is like a peerless sword, the other is like a peerless sword, just looking at the appearance, Cen Shaoyou has already admired it in his heart.
Helan Yong nodded slightly to Cen Shaoyou: "Who are you from Cen Shaoze?" β
"I'm his eldest brother Cen Shaoyou, and I've met King Ge."
"You may be seated." He Lanyong said and walked to the back of the bookcase and sat down: "You came to me for something?" β
Cen Shaoyou was suddenly unhappy when he heard this, didn't he ask knowingly. "King Ge, Shaoze has always been cautious in his actions, and if he wants to stay in Xuanguo as an official, he will never even write a letter."
A trace of doubt flashed in Helan Yong's eyes: "Stay in Xuanguo as an official?" I thought he had already returned to Dayun. β
"If he has returned to the clouds, why should I come?" Cen Shaoyou wasn't sure if he really didn't know or if he was deliberately pretending to be stupid.
He Lanyong smiled slightly: "What you say also has some truth!" Could it be that something is delayed on the road or that something has happened? β
Cen Shaoyou said categorically: "No, the people who came with him have already returned to the dynasty and brought a letter from Emperor Xuan, saying that Shaoze stayed in Xuanguo as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites." β
Helan Yong thought for a while: "I haven't heard of this, and Xuanguo currently doesn't have a book of etiquette. β
Cen Shaoyou said meaningfully: "So King Ge doesn't know about his brother's situation at all? β
He Lanyong glanced at the handsome man: "Wuchen, do you have any relevant news?" β
Shang Wuchen's tone was very cold: "No." β
Cen Shaoyou blurted out: "Are you Shang Wuchen?" Dustless Boy? β
"You know me?" Shang Wuchen's tone was still very flat.
"I have heard of the dustless son's piano skills in the world, and a friend of mine often mentions you."
Shang Wuchen nodded: "Since you are Cen Shaoze's eldest brother, you naturally know Wei Han and Xia Chen, maybe they also know Hua Manlou, how are they lately?" β
"Not good." Cen Shaoyou's mind reappeared Xia Chen's appearance of being unconscious with white hair.
Helan Yong said eagerly: "Have you seen Chen'er recently?" How is she now? (To be continued......)
