Chapter 40: First Chop and Then Play
Yun Ce's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he slapped the table with a feather fan: "It's feasible!" ”
After hearing this, Huo Jingcheng suddenly looked at Qiao Fengzhi, and said undoubtedly: "Fengzhi, it's time for you to go out." Early this morning, you took the warrant of the main hall, and led a team of soldiers to rush to Nanqian to enter the palace to meet you, and explain to your father the many difficulties and last resorts in the palace. ”
Qiao Fengyi was stunned for a long time when he heard this. It wasn't until Yun Ce coughed a few times that Qiao Fengzhi came back to his senses, and his eyes swept through embarrassment, and said: "Your Highness has decided to cut first and then play, and he will personally present his feelings when he returns to Nanqian in the future, so why is he in a hurry?" ”
Huo Jingcheng listened, watched his eyes suddenly change meaning, and then did not shy away from breaking his heart: "This Qiao Fengzhi, as soon as you are separated from your wife, you will immediately refuse, and your brain will become stupid." Yunxiang, tell you clearly. ”
Qiao Fengzhi's face flashed with embarrassment, but he was speechless.
In order to ease the round, Yun Ce laughed lightly a few times, and said earnestly: "Fengzhi, Your Highness is in a hurry, and you have Your Highness's considerations. Just imagine, when will it be when we have settled Xiahou Bo and then led thousands of troops and horses back to Nanqian? This time is long enough for His Highness to spread the news of Xiahou Bo to Nanqian, and at that time, there will be people with bad intentions who will make a big fuss about this matter in front of His Majesty, and His Majesty will be more unfavorable to His Highness if he listens to one more slanderous rumor, so even if it is cut first and then played, it must be as fast as possible. As for His Royal Highness's order for you to play, he also values you, you are thoughtful, clever and must be in your words, and you will be able to do this well so that Your Highness has no worries. ”
Qiao Fengzhi lowered his eyes: "Fengzhi understands." ”
At this time, Huo Jingcheng patted him on the shoulder again, and said meaningfully: "Fengzhi, Dazhi man, don't stick to mundane things." It's better for people like you not to have weaknesses, let alone ties. ”
After hearing this, Qiao Fengzhi was full of helplessness, so he had to bow and agree: "What Your Highness said is that Feng Yi left for Nangan to meet him early and plead to His Majesty. ”
Huo Jingcheng finally smiled: "Okay, this hall believes in your ability." After that, he looked at the silent Taiwei again, and said: "Lord Taiwei, Lord Taiwei also sees the difficulties of this hall today, and thinks about it, Taiwei will also speak for this hall, right?" ”
When Gao Taiwei heard this, he also hurriedly got up and saluted: "Your Highness has the courage to cut first and then play for the sake of the overall situation, and the old minister admires this move!" The old minister will speak to His Highness. ”
"Good!" Huo Jingcheng was satisfied.
Gao Taiwei said again: "Your Highness, then the cause of Xiahou Bo's death is so simple that it will not be investigated?" ”
Huo Jingcheng said in a deep tone: "There is nothing to check. His suicide is the best explanation for this. Is it possible to find out that someone was killed and died, so that the people of the world think that the palace and the father and the emperor are so despicable that they assassinated the king? ”
Captain Gao met his unpredictable handsome eyes, suddenly understood, and said, "Yes, what His Highness said is true." The old minister is a martial artist, and his mind is shallow, thank you for your Royal Highness's explicitness. ”
Huo Jingcheng smiled wordlessly, and said to everyone: "As for Xiahou Bo, this hall will inherit the edict of his father and the emperor, and give him the title of King of Beizhong, and send him to Changxuancheng after being packed and buried, and Xiahou Feng, the king of Xuan, will undertake it. After the Du family, he was given the title of Princess Beizhong, and after the King of Beizhong was buried, the people of the Xiahou family could move the princess of Beizhong to the grave and bury it. There is also a Mrs. Xiahou, whose title should be more formal, is the side concubine of King Beizhong. When he returned to Changxuan City, the concubine of the king of Beizhong went with the coffin. I don't know how many people have objections to this arrangement? ”
When they heard this, they looked at each other, and there was no objection.
This matter was settled like this, Huo Jingcheng breathed a sigh of relief, sat down at the table, and said while taking a pen and paper: "Then there is no need to discuss it anymore." Okay, it's almost dawn, let's go back to our respective accounts. Today is the beginning of the journey, and after completing Xiahou Bo's affairs, let's return to the court. ”
"Yes." Everyone saluted and retired.
After several people dispersed, Huo Jingcheng had already written a warrant and stamped it with a private seal. When Qiao Fengzhi took his warrant, he only felt melancholy in his heart, and his hands and heart were heavy. He remained silent, saluted and withdrew from the tent of the council.
……
The night is quiet. Yao Duran couldn't sleep steadily, tossed and turned for a while, and finally woke up. When I saw it, I saw a handsome face like jade above, and the handsome face was quite sad, and there was also unmistakable attachment and reluctance in a pair of starry eyes.
Yao Duran was stunned for a moment, and then slowly sat up: "Fengzhi, are you back?" ”
"Hmm." Qiao Fengzhi hugged her into his arms and sighed as if he had nothing to do.
Yao Duran sensed his abnormality and asked nervously, "Fengzhi, what's wrong?" Is it difficult to deal with Xiahou Bo's matter? ”
Qiao Fengzhi shook his head, only the arms holding her tightened more and more.
"Fengzhi, don't scare me, what happened to make you so abnormal? Can you tell me quickly? She grabbed the garment on his chest and asked uneasily.
"Dye'er......" he sighed and said to her in a harsh tone.
"What? Your Highness wants you to go back to Nangan to see you first? Yao Duran listened, lost her voice in surprise, and continued: "Then what should I do?" ”
Qiao Fengzhi kissed her forehead, and said helplessly: "You can only stay in the barracks, and he will go back with the army one day." ”
After hearing this, Yao Duran wanted to say no at first, but in a flash, she stopped talking in time. At this time, her reluctance and reluctance will only make it more difficult for him. She said that she didn't want to trap him with love. Thinking about it, she regained her senses and said softly: "Fengzhi, eating the king's luck, and being loyal to the king, these are all things you should do, and in the days to come, there may be such things, we all have to get used to it, right?" ”
After hearing this, Qiao Fengzhi sighed again: "Dye'er, you are always sensible and make me feel distressed." ”
Yao Duran rubbed in his arms, letting herself get closer to him, and at the same time, buried his forehead in his neck, and said softly: "Fengzhi, don't be like this, this is just a temporary separation." When I arrive in Nangan with the army, we will be able to meet, soon. ”
Qiao Fengzhi was silent for a moment, and slowly instructed: "Okay, then you have to take care of yourself, and you don't have to worry about anything, Your Highness and Master will take good care of you." ”
Yao Dui dyed a sour nose and suddenly burst into tears. She was surprised in her heart, she didn't cry much, and there were more sensational tears. She tilted her head to the side and wiped tears on his shirt, and said, "Fengzhi, I will take care of myself, don't worry." It's you, from Beiyue to Nanqian, the mountains and rivers are heavy, and the road is far away, you also have to take care of yourself, and everything is careful. ”
As she spoke, another tear slipped down, and she hurriedly rubbed her head sideways against his shirt.
"Fool, cry and cry, what are you hiding, I can hear it from your breath." Qiao Fengzhi said this suddenly, and then threw her down on the bed, he plundered her beauty while reproaching in distress: "Dye'er, don't cry." We can always see each other in less than a month. You know, your tears at this time are a thorn in my heart. ”
"Well, husband......" She stopped crying, but responded to him enthusiastically.
This husband shouted Qiao Fengzhi's joy and sorrow, but her body went crazy out of control for her again.
……
In the early morning, the wind was cool, and Yao Duran stood at the entrance of the barracks, watching Qiao Fengzhi and Fuquan lead a team of soldiers away, leaving only a burst of dust and mist for her.
Seeing that she had been standing for a long time, Lu Yan stepped forward and persuaded: "Madam, let's go back, the morning breeze is quite cool today, and the sky is also cloudy, I am afraid that it will rain again later." ”
Yao Duran finally retracted his gaze and walked back silently.
As soon as the master and servant had left, there was movement behind them. Yao Duran looked back and saw a group of soldiers pulling a set of coffins into the camp with a cart. Yao Duran stepped aside to make way for them.
After the coffin hurriedly passed, Lu Yan sighed softly beside her: "Madam, the world is really impermanent, a person who was still alive at the banquet last night disappeared in the middle of the night." ”
Yao Duran's face was blank, and he said lightly as he walked: "Maybe for him, death is the best way to go." A man, without the country and the throne, even his own woman looks down on him in his heart, in this case, it is really better to die. ”
Lu Yan also sighed: "Yes, last night Mrs. Xiahou, uh, it was the concubine of King Beizhong, and the slave maid also heard what she said when she walked with you, she was indeed dissatisfied with King Beizhong's nest and weakness, but this is also reasonable, such a man, no one can love him, especially a smart and beautiful woman like the concubine of King Beizhong, naturally his heart is not in him." ”
Yao Duran's tone was fluttering: "Yes, then where is that beautiful heart?" ”
......
Lu Lang was really right, not long after breakfast, the rain poured down all over the sky, and it didn't stop for a long time.
In the rain, a slender figure stumbled in the rain, her expression was anxious and sad, the tears on her face were mixed with the rain, and all of her body were pitiful.
In the tent, Huo Jingcheng was casually leaning on the bed and reading books. When everything is settled, under the leisure, you can only pass the boring time like this every day.
Huo Jingcheng looked at it, and his mind was also integrated into the book.
After a while, the curtain was lifted, and Qin An came in to do something. Huo Jingcheng listened, looked up from the book, and said unexpectedly: "What is she here for?" Go, let her in. ”
In a moment, as soon as the curtain was lifted, a wet and embarrassed figure pounced in and knelt directly towards Huo Jingcheng.
"Your Highness!" She cried out, and began to weep bitterly.
Huo Jingcheng became more and more inexplicable, simply put down the book and sat up slowly, and asked, "What's wrong with the concubine of King Beizhong?" ”
Ning Wanshu knelt on the ground and wept bitterly, after listening to Huo Jingcheng's words, she walked a few steps on her knees, came to his bedside, raised a pale and beautiful face washed by the rain, and said with a complaining expression: "Your Highness, the concubine body is known, you want the concubine to go to Changxuan City with the coffin of King Beizhong, right?" ”
Huo Jingcheng was in a fog, and asked rhetorically: "Well, you are his side concubine, what if you don't go to Changxuan City with him?" ”
"Your Highness!" Ning Wanshu cried and grabbed his sleeve.
Huo Jingcheng was startled by her movements, and immediately raised his hand to avoid it, and said: "Beizhong Wang's side concubine, if you have anything to say, you don't have to move your hands and feet." ”
