Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Messenger Aoyama
Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Messenger Aoyama
The riding and archery competition ended hastily, and everyone from all walks of life returned to the city on the morning of the third day, and on the way, Aoyama told his sister Qingshi what happened last night.
Qing Shi nodded and exclaimed: "Mr. Lantern, it is really a great talent, this time the Turks can be regarded as a last resort, and we almost fell in love with them." β
"Yes, Mr. Lan is aware of everything and let Brother Qi warn in advance, so that we can take precautions, otherwise it will be troublesome." Aoyama said.
"Huh? Since Mr. Lan had already found out, why didn't he let Wen Ruo tell you? Qing Shi asked.
"If Wen Wen said this, let Brother Qi come is to let us have some trust in Brother Qi, after all, only Brother Qi can get off the game, the situation in the paddock is unknown, and when Aquili bites back, then no one can tell." Aoyama explained.
Qing Shi thought thoughtfully, then sneered, and said: "Sure enough, it is Mr. Denglong, he knows the news of every prince and nobleman in Chang'an, even the princess and Yi Yue buy horses, he knows it, if it is not for some scheme, it will never be like this, I don't know if this Murong Mansion has the eyeliner of the Lantern Society?" β
"The people in our house are all brought from their hometowns, so they should be reliable, but who knows, Mr. Lantern's handwriting, I can't wait for it to be able to match, if you want to keep the princes and nobles under surveillance, I'm afraid it's a fish-free prison, and it may not be possible. Are we being taken care of? Aoyama guessed.
Qingshi pondered for a long time, and finally said: "Be careful, the wind and rain are coming, and it is best to be able to drive your own car." β
"What is my sister going to do? Why don't I go tomorrow and take the envoy to secretly note Yuwen Hu in the name of my Tuyuhun Murong clan and ask him to give an explanation? Aoyama suggested.
Qingshi shook her head, sighed, and felt sad in her heart, this matter is related to her daughter Qingyu, she didn't want to publicize it, and she didn't expect Yuwen Hu to uphold justice, but she just used this as an excuse to end all this commotion first, and said to Qingshan: "I'm also very troubled in this matter, you go, tell Yuwen Hu the truth, and then cancel the matter of choosing a son-in-law by the way." β
"Good! Then I'll go tomorrow. Aoyama nodded, of course he could understand his sister's approach, she just wanted to be alone, all the time.
After a long time, perhaps to break this addiction, Qingshan suddenly asked: "Sister, Mr. Lan asked me to ask you, is there anything unusual about the bowl of deer blood wine you drank?" β
"Strange?" The princess thought carefully, and then said: "Deer blood wine, I drink it every year when I hunt, there is nothing unusual, if you want to say that there is, it is this year's bowl, the smell of blood is extraordinarily strong, and there is nothing more." β
Qingshan listened, nodded, and said: "Sure enough, my sister's poisoning should not be deep, and more deer blood is needed to induce toxicity, Dazhu takes care of that horse every day, and the poisoning is naturally deep, so normal deer blood wine can make him look like that." β
When Qing Shi heard this, her heart was cold, and her hand had already held Qing Yi......
In a pavilion in Hailu Garden, Yu Wenxun, the prince of Jin Guogong, and his new love Ying'er were in the sunset, and from time to time they sprinkled some fish food, attracting the fish in the pond to scramble.
"Shizi-Shizi-" The two were having a good time, and a hurried figure walked in the garden.
Yu Wenxun turned his head and saw that it was his uncle Dugu Luo, so he let go of the lovely man in his arms. When Dugu Luo came over in a hurry, he heard him say: "Shizi! Something happened! β
Ying'er on the side saw Dugu Luo coming, hurriedly tidied up her clothes, hurriedly bowed her knees, and left quickly with small steps.
Dugu Luo glanced at this woman who was once famous in Chang'an, and secretly said in his heart: "Damn, what a demon!" Perhaps in order to hide his short-term heart, Dugu Luo hurriedly apologized: "Disturbing the interest of the prince? β
"Okay? Uncle is about to say something, in a hurry? Yu Wenxun asked.
Dugu Luo approached Yuwenxun and told him in detail about the failure of the paddock plan.
Yu Wenxun was shocked when he heard this, and then scolded angrily: "A waste one, there is that color heart, there is that color gall, it is useless at the critical moment, dog mongrel, do you want to involve a large number of people now?" β
"Shizi, it's useless to scold people now, you need to find a way to remedy it?" Dugu Luo persuaded.
"Remedy? How to remedy? Did you go and slaughter that Turkic wolf cub? Yu Wenxun asked angrily.
"Kenado is now being watched by Aquili, it's impossible to do it, and besides, they won't be stupid enough to expose us, now they want to stabilize Yang Shi!" Dugu Luo suggested.
Yu Wenxun nodded and said, "Just let him shut up forever?" As he spoke, he made a knife gesture with his hand.
"Killing a doctor from the Spring Palace is too eye-catching, right?" Dugu Luo was a little hesitant.
Yu Wenxun thought about it for a while, approached Dugu Luo, and said, "Let the people of the night swish do it, clean and neat!" β
Dugu Luo nodded, and then the two talked for a while, and then he left.
On the morning of the third day, Qingshan first went to see his sister Qingshi, and then dressed in court clothes, invited an envoy, and brought the general Zhu Dazhu to the mansion of Gongyu Wenhu of the Jin Kingdom to pay respects.
Coming to the door of the Jin State Mansion, Qingshan handed over the envoy to Da Zhu, who took it with both hands, stepped forward and said: "Murong Qingshan, the envoy of Tuyuhun State, secretly visits the Duke of Jin of the Great Zhou Dynasty with the envoy, Tiangong Tsukazai, please report!" β
As the saying goes, the prime minister's door is a seven-grade official, and when the guard guarding the door heard that it was not small, he respectfully took the envoy with both hands and said: "Please wait a moment, I will go to the ceremony immediately!" With that, he hurried in.
Xiao Lun soon got the report, took the envoy and came to the garden to see Yuwen Hu.
"Tsukazai, Tuyuhun envoy Murong Qingshan has a secret visit, this is an envoy!" Xiao Lun cautiously held the envoy and said.
Yuwen Hu was sitting in the pavilion, and after seeing the envoy, he was also a little surprised, he already knew what happened yesterday, and sent a doctor to treat the princess, and now it was a big head, but he didn't expect them to come.
"It's time to come, it's coming so fast!" Yuwen Hu didn't move, glanced at the envoy, and then continued to look at the rockery in the lake.
"Yes." Xiao Lun replied.
"How's the princess?" Yuwen Hu asked.
"The doctor has returned this morning, and the princess is fine, and she will be able to rest for a few days as usual." Xiao Lun reported.
"En-" Yuwen Hu pondered for a moment and said: "Since it is the identity of the messenger who came secretly, then change clothes, front hall, oh no, Lanyun Pavilion, let the prince go to greet him first"
"Yes!" Xiao Lun held the envoy and followed Yuwen Hu to Yuwen Hu's usual review of the plan and deal with the urgent Lanyun Pavilion.
Qingshan stood outside the door for a short while, and suddenly the middle gate of the Jin State Mansion was opened, and Yu Wenxun came out with Xiao Lun, the head of the mansion, and Xiong Sanbao, the leader of the Leopard Chong Battalion.
"Young Master Qingshan, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I've missed my welcome!" As soon as Yu Wenxun went out, he walked down quickly with a smile on his face.
"The son is well! Hello Grandpa Xiao! Aoyama stood there steadily, politely greeting.
"Good, good!" Yu Wenxun walked down, took the envoy from Xiao Lun's hands, and handed it back to Qingshan with both hands.
According to the generation, His Majesty is the son of King Wen, Yuwen Hu is the nephew of King Wen, Qingshan is the son of King Wen, and he is the uncle of Yu Wenxun, but because of Yu Wenxun's status, Qingshan is still very polite to him, and Yu Wenxun naturally will not call this person who is much younger than himself an uncle, and in addition to today's messenger status, Yu Wenxun can only be called Aoyama Gongzi.
"On my sister's orders, I will visit Tsukazai as a messenger and ask for guidance from the son." Aoyama took the envoy and said.
"Of course I have to guide, no-the middle door has been opened, according to the etiquette system, it should be a cannon to play music, but since the son is coming secretly, these will be simple." In the first half of the sentence, Yu Wenxun was still very exaggerated and pointed to the middle door, but in the second half of the sentence, Yu Wenxun came to the front and was close to Qingshan.
"It's the first to be reckless, the envoy to visit, it should be to the Spring Palace first, and then go to the Heavenly Palace to see Tsukazai after permission, the reason why I came recklessly is really for a reason, and I hope to atone for my sins!" Aoyama still stood impartially and said.
Yu Wenxun hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Hey, no, no, son's own family, what are you doing with so many politeness." If you're here, please hurry up, my father is waiting in Lanyun Pavilion. β
"Okay, the prince first, pleaseβ" Aoyama bowed his hand.
"Good. I'll show Childe the way. Yu Wenxun smiled and led his head forward.
While walking, Yu Wenxun also asked with concern how the princess's condition was, and Qingshan was also polite to entertain.
When he arrived at Lanyun Pavilion, Qingshan stood still, tidied up his clothes, and said, "Please report to Gonggong Xiao." β
"No, no, Tsukazai said, let the prince take you directly in." Father-in-law Xiao said.
"Yes, my father has explained, I'll take you straight in." Yu Wenxun pulled Qingshan and went in.
After coming in, Qingshan walked calmly towards the desk in the center, and then stood ten steps before the case, knelt down and kowtowed, and bowed: "Murong Qingshan, the envoy of the Tuyuhun Kingdom, greets!" β
After the case, Yuwen Hu sat upright and said, "Your envoy, hurry up, come here, take a seat." β
"Tsetsuka Jae!" After Aoyama got up, he handed the envoy to Dazhu, and then sat down first on his right hand, and Yuwen Xun also sat down first on his left.
"Qingshan, the princess's jade body is fine, you came here so excitedly, what are you trying to do?"
"Thank you Tsukazai for your concern, my sister is fine. I came here today to ask Tsukasa Zai to do justice to the abbot of my Murong Mansion! Aoyama said sonorously.
"Justice? Is something happening in Murong Mansion? Yuwen asked in surprise.
Qingshan said with a little excitement: "Yesterday's competition, the Turkic son Kenado secretly poisoned in advance, and when my sister was poisoned in the dense forest and was delirious, she intended to do something indecent and indecent, but fortunately she was discovered by Qi Yu, the son of Daqi who participated in the competition, otherwise, my sister would ...... But he was murdered! β
"Is there such a thing?" Yuwen Hu's father and son were shocked.
