Chapter 407: From now on, they will be friends and foes
Although it was not clear for a while, why the mother was angry when she saw the second daughter. But the fear of this mother, Huang Qiong, who was far above his own emperor Lao Tzu, felt the anger in his mother's heart and did not dare to make any movement. just cautiously walked to He Yao's side, and after signaling her not to make a sound, he grabbed her little hand and stood there honestly.
Before the mother spoke, let alone not even dare to sit down, not even dare to make a sound. It's just that except for the first glance, the mother, who has never glanced at Huang Qiong again, seems to have her mind on the chessboard in front of her. Except for the game of chess in front of him, there was no one else around.
The game of chess between his mother and Duan Jin was played for more than half an hour before Duan Jin lost it. waited until Duan Jin put down the chess pieces in his hand and took the initiative to admit defeat, and after his mother threw the chess pieces in his hand on the chessboard, he stood up and said to Duan Jin: "Your mind is already confused, and it is not interesting to go down this chess again." ”
"I really didn't expect that at the age of fourteen, I relied on a family swordsmanship, and dared to fight with me on the side of the Yuan River. The current state of mind is not even as good as that fourteen-year-old girl. However, your chess skills have not insulted your Duan family. ”
And Duan Jin, who was standing opposite his mother, heard what his mother didn't know what he meant, and wanted to say something. After turning his head to look at Huang Qiong, he swallowed back the words that came to his lips. After waiting for a long time, he smiled bitterly: "When you meet someone who should be met, your heart will naturally be chaotic." I didn't expect that the mother of the man in my heart would be you. ”
"I didn't expect that after disappearing from the rivers and lakes for more than 20 years, the famous Xiao and a sword walked the rivers and lakes back then, and was once considered extremely arrogant, and never looked at any man in this world. It is believed by the world that it will be lonely for life, and perhaps only the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha is the destination of the Ice Rakshasa will actually enter the palace. Not only did she give birth to a son for the emperor, but she also became my mother-in-law. ”
Hearing this conversation between her mother and Duan Jin, Huang Qiong was stunned to find that the two of them were actually old acquaintances, and even had an experience. And from the conversation between the two people, it is estimated that the experience of the two people back then may not be too pleasant. Thinking about this, Huang Qiong couldn't help but cry and laugh in her heart.
I just settled the old man on my side, but I didn't expect that there was a mother who was even more difficult to settle. You know, my mother is not as foolish as my own emperor. If she doesn't agree, I'm afraid she really can't get to her mother. It's just that the two of them back then, what was the experience that should have been unpleasant, but it aroused Huang Qiong's great curiosity?
Before Huang Qiong could think deeply, the mother over there didn't know what to mean by Duan Jin's words, but she said very plainly: "The world is like a game, and there are some things that no one can really understand." Back then, when I was still young on the edge of the Yuan River, when I let you go, I never thought that you and I would have today. ”
Regarding the battle of Yuanjiang mentioned by Huang Qiong's mother, Duan Jin smiled bitterly: "If I tell you now, I sneaked out of the palace back then and wanted to go out to practice. It's just that on the way, I happened to encounter the swords of Ailao Mountain, because they were in the same line of Tiannan martial arts. And I, at least at the time, didn't know anything about what the rehearsal was, would you believe it? ”
"You are a martial arts master in the world, and you are also one of the three famous masters in the rivers and lakes back then. You should also know that the Dali Duan family has a lot of reasons for Ailao Mountain. There is something going on in Ailao Mountain, as long as the Duan family encounters it, there is absolutely no reason to ignore it. This is the ancestral precept left by the founding emperor of Dali, as a descendant of later generations, I have no ability to resist. ”
When Duan Jin explained what happened back then, his mother still said lightly: "If you don't know, although you are still young, you are very talented in martial arts." From your hand, the dignified Duan family's swordsmanship recognized you as a member of the Duan family. In that battle, do you think I will show mercy to my subordinates and finally let you go? ”
"Although the Duan family is said to be the king in the south, and they are also the people of the rivers and lakes, I have never been afraid. Don't talk about you, it's your father and brother back then, and that one is not my defeated general? Your brother, it's been almost thirty years. Although he was the prince of Dali back then, he had no intention of taking the throne, and often lingered in Daqi, and I was also a friend. Now, it is already a world and a man. ”
Speaking of this, the mother did not continue the topic, but sighed slightly: "My own son, I naturally know the character. If he can bring you to me, it means that he approves of you. As a mother, even if she is not satisfied with this marriage in her heart, she will not interfere with her son's choice. ”
"In the future, I only hope that you will stay by his side with peace of mind and not have any dealings with Ailao Mountain. Although the Ailao Mountain is also orthodox in martial arts, the heart of pursuing skill is too heavy. Back then, they were able to secretly support your Duan family to ascend to the top, but in the current situation of declining conditions, their ambitions may not be put down. Continuing to associate with them will do you no good. ”
After listening to his mother's words, Duan Jin smiled bitterly: "Since my father and brother died one after another, I have also hid in Ailao Mountain to avoid disasters over the years. Because I only in Ailao Mountain, my imperial nephew and the Gao family did not dare to force me too much. And Ailao Mountain used my identity as a tablet, trying to expand his strength in order to compete with other sects. ”
"My relationship with Ailao Mountain is nothing more than that, to put it bluntly, it's just mutual use. This time, I came out, and I didn't plan to go back. Moreover, the new generation of elite disciples who had been painstakingly cultivated by Ailao Mountain were all lost under the arrows of the Xiao Cavalry Camp. It can be said that after that time, he and the Ailao Mountain family have become mortal enemies. ”
"Since Jin is now his person, he naturally has to be on his side. Ailao Mountain is a family, and in the future, it can only be a relationship between enemies and friends. Whether it is the eldest princess of Dali or the snake girl sword, for me now, it is already a thing of the past. Since my brother's death, I no longer have any nostalgia for Dali. ”
After Duan Jin's explanation, his mother nodded slightly. did not pick up the bracelet sent by the emperor, but withdrew a pair of fine mutton fat jade bracelets on his wrist. Pick up one of them and bring it to Duan Jin with your own hands. He Yao was summoned to his side again, and the other one was also brought to He Yao by his own hands.
After bringing the bracelet to the second daughter, he took He Yao's pulse again, and then said lightly to He Yao: "The fetus is very good, you don't have to worry about it, and you don't need to deliberately take supplements, as long as you don't have to be sad and happy." I'm here, and you can come anytime in the future. However, you can know who I am, and don't tell them anything else. ”
After instructing the two daughters, their mother asked Jingniang to take them to rest first. Only then did he turn around and look at Huang Qiong coldly, until Huang Qiong was shocked, and then said in a flat tone: "Before leaving the palace, what did I tell you?" Is that what you're supposed to do? At a young age, he is so greedy for beauty, and he doesn't know how to converge? ”
"After a trip to Zhengzhou for only a few months, I took more than ten beautiful concubines. If you were asked to stay for another two years, wouldn't you bring a group back? Could it be that the women of the rivers and lakes can tolerate you to be so bad? Back then, the famous snake girl sword in the rivers and lakes, you could receive it by your side, what else did you dare not do? It's just deaf. ”
Hearing the displeasure in her mother's words, Huang Qiong hurriedly knelt down and said, "When my mother left the palace, my son didn't dare to forget it for a moment. It's just that these women have a certain reason for knowing their son and staying with their son. The son didn't force any of them, and he took them in to save them. ”
Speaking of which, Huang Qiong told her mother about the identities of these women and how she met them. It's just that there are some things that he didn't dare to tell the truth. For example, when he got He Yao at the beginning, it can almost be said that he was forced. Yi Ying's four subordinates are also equivalent to semi-forced. He knew that if he told the truth, he would probably be punished for kneeling again.
It's just that before Huang Qiong could finish explaining, her mother's sharp gaze that seemed to see through everything swept over. I only saw that Huang Qiong was in my heart, and after a burst of trembling, I said: "Whether what you said is true or false, now that the hearts of these women are already in you, I don't want to pursue anything, let alone interfere too much." “
"Although you are my son, I don't know now whether your promiscuous temperament was born or what affected you after leaving the palace. Maybe you're a guy with an idea. Now that I'm older, there are some things that I, as a mother, can't manage too much. In the future, what to do is up to you. ”
After listening to her mother's words, Huang Qiong fell silent and did not speak. Before he came, when he left the Wende Palace, the emperor's words were repeated to his mother. I originally thought that my mother would at least have some changes in her expression. But what disappointed Huang Qiong was that her mother still didn't even have the slightest fluctuation except for frowning slightly.
However, after Huang Qiong said that after listening to the emperor's words, she was a little confused, and even at a loss. The mother sighed slightly: "For you, I have been hiding for eighteen years, and I will let those children fight for themselves." Because I know that as long as you stay in the capital, as long as you are his son, whether you want to or not, you will be stirred in. ”
"And this battle for the throne has always been bloody and cruel. Those children are not good stubble. As long as you get involved, you will be in danger of being crushed if you don't get it right. Although you are a smart person, after all, you still have insufficient experience. In the face of traps everywhere, you may not really be able to grasp yourself. ”
"I'd rather you reach your age and go far away, so that you and my mother and son will never see each other again. But I never thought that you would still get involved. Now the four sons are dead and sleepy. Even if he doesn't die, but after so many things, he doesn't dare to trust it anymore, so he sets his eyes on you, who are still right.
"At this point, I'm afraid that since the moment you went to Zhengzhou, he has already made up his mind. As for whether you have the ability to do this well, I still believe it. But you have to think about it, once you do that position, you are not facing one or a few people. It's not a state or a county, tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people. ”
"You're going to be dealing with hundreds of millions of people under your rule. This is not something that can be done with ability, but more about the need to operate with heart. I'm glad that you didn't become ecstatic because of the news. This shows that you have put a lot of effort into the word calm. With the word calm alone, you can't sit in that position. During the period of time a year ago, I was reading the Spring and Autumn Period and history books. ”
"When it comes to beauty, you must also be temperate, and you must not be so indulgent. I can't do much of the rest now. You go cook, and leave them to eat with them today, and then go back. Shouyang, I also want you to make pot-wrapped meat. As for that child, the next time you enter the palace, bring it over to show me. ”
