Volume 1: Emperor Tianwei Chapter 8: Three Forks in the Road
Shangguan Qingyun, the king of Qi, said: "Since this is the case, then the subordinate brother is not as good as obeying his fate, and before returning to the Eastern Capital, I will definitely go to visit our Chief Manager Li in person." It just so happens that I really have something to tell him to please. ”
Emperor Tianwei said: "Okay, your little bit of caution from your Shangguan brother, do you really think I don't know." Didn't you just tell him that he must always admonish me not to drink too much as much as possible, hehehe. ”
Shangguan Qingyun, the king of Qi, said: "Yes, what Your Majesty said is extremely true, after all, we are all such a big age." It's understandable to have a drink on weekdays, but like today, we still try to pay attention to moderation. ”
Emperor Tianwei said: "I can't hide it, today is a rare gathering of our old brothers, and I really pay attention to it on weekdays." It's just that others may not know my specific situation, but your brother Shangguan knows it well. ”
Shangguan Qingyun, the king of Qi, said: "This is also true, Your Majesty's internal injuries in the past do need the anesthesia of spirits. However, there are advantages and disadvantages in everything, and the 'degree' of this must be grasped just right. ”
Emperor Tianwei said: "Okay, let's stop here for the time being." In this case, I will drive back to the palace first, and you will wait here for a quarter of an hour or two. When Li Guzhi returns, he will lead you to the dormitory to rest. ”
Shangguan Qingyun, the king of Qi, said: "Everything is in accordance with the holy will, although Your Majesty will drive back to the palace first, it just so happens that I can still sober up here, and I can also enjoy this beautiful moonlight." ”
Emperor Tianwei said: "Since this is the case, then you can do it yourself." ”
After that, he really got up and slowly walked down the roof. It's just that when he walked to the ground and left the rooftop, he suddenly sighed faintly as if he had intentionally or unintentionally.
Although his sigh was extremely slight, Shangguan Qingyun, the King of Qi who was still residing above, could hear it clearly.
What's more, he seemed to hear too much helplessness and desolation from the faint sigh of Emperor Tianwei. Perhaps, it was this faint sigh that seemed to convey some kind of hint and deep meaning to him.
More than half a month passed in a flash, and Zhao Jin, the king of Chu, Song Jie, the king of Qin, and Xiahou Zhengjin, the king of Yan, all left Beijing one after another and began their respective return trips. After all, several of them are the military and political leaders of the town guarding the side, and they still have a lot of important tasks in their respective territories.
On this day, Shangguan Qingyun, the king of Qi, also officially resigned to Emperor Tianwei. Of course, before leaving, he did not forget the advice of Emperor Tianwei on the Chengtian Platform that day, and went to see the great eunuch Li Gu.
Sure enough, Li Gu really prepared two jars of imperial wine for him early, and three other old ginseng that are said to be very old.
However, what Shangguan Qingyun, the king of Qi, did not expect was that at the moment when the two finally separated, Li Gu actually said a meaningful word to him mysteriously. said that "when he returns to the Eastern Capital, he must play with it, the red sandalwood box containing three old mountain ginseng." ”
You must know how keenly it was to react to Shangguan Qingyun, the king of Qi. Although he immediately heard the "off-string sound" in it, he was still calm, only symbolically said some polite words on the scene, and then immediately left as if nothing happened.
Ten days later, there were still more than fifty miles away from the Eastern Capital, and at a three-way intersection on the official road, Shangguan Qingyun, the king of Qi, suddenly strangled his mount.
I saw him ponder for a moment, and then said lightly to Lu Weixin, the "tea boy" who was close to him: "Seeing that this is about to return to our eastern capital, now you give the order and let Ah Leng and them go back with the guards first." ”
Hearing him say this, I saw Lu Weixin, a tea boy, take out a small flag from his arms, and without looking back, he directly waved a few times at the guards behind.
Not to mention, his small flag was really "forbidden", and after the guards behind saw it, they immediately strangled their mounts. Not only that, but as soon as they stopped, they immediately divided into multiple squads and spread out in all directions, stairs on guard.
What's even more rare is that the guards, which have dozens of people, are all silent, and even the war horses under their crotch don't make much noise. Judging from this alone, it is not difficult to see that the military discipline of Shangguan Qingyun, the king of Qi, is strict and uniform.
At this moment, I only heard the tea boy Lu Weixin ask in a low voice: "Lord Wang, do you mean, let's not enter the city for the time being?" ”
Shangguan Qingyun, the king of Qi, said: "Yes, after they go back first, you can go to Taiyue Mountain with me." Because just now, I suddenly had a temporary idea to visit the sloppy Taoist of the Wind and Thunder Temple of Taiyue Mountain. ”
Tea boy Lu Weixin said: "In this way, then we will definitely not be able to rush back to the Eastern Capital in the past two days, you must know that there is at least more than 200 miles to go to Taiyue Mountain." Moreover, this Taiyue Mountain is in the northwest direction of our eastern capital, so it will take two days to go this way. In addition, the Wind and Thunder Temple is on the top of Taiyue Mountain, just up and down, it will take almost a day. ”
Shangguan Qingyun, the king of Qi, said: "Yes, wait for you to explain to Ah Leng, and say that we will be allowed to go to the eastern capital in seven days." As for the military and political affairs of the Eastern Capital, let Zhongren and his brothers use more snacks. By the way, let them take back those jars of imperial wine as well. As for the three old mountain ginsengs, you bring them personally, and I am going to select one of the best ones to give to the Wind and Thunder Master when the time comes. ”
Speaking of this, he suddenly seemed to think of something again, and hurriedly continued: "In addition, our trip this time, what Taiyue Mountain Wind and Thunder Temple, don't mention it to them." Let's just say that this king made a temporary decision and wanted to go to various places to inspect the defense. ”
Tea boy Lu Weixin said: "Obey the king's orders, and your subordinates understand, so you can do it immediately." ”
After saying that, I saw that he immediately turned back, and came straight to a man in black who was as cold as frost and had a cold face like iron, and then whispered in a low voice.
It turned out that this arrogant man in black was none other than the number one master of their Qi Palace, the sword slave Du Leng. Like the previous tea boy Lu Weixin, he is also one of the four relatives around King Qi.
I saw that after listening to the tea boy Lu Weixin's communication, he just nodded expressionlessly, and didn't even say a word.
After the tea boy Lu Weixin turned to leave, he still didn't say a word, just let out a cold whistle, and then urged his crotch mount and galloped towards the fork in the southwest direction. Even, even the Qi King Shangguan Qingyun in front, he didn't say hello, this kid is really cold and arrogant.
Seeing him like this, the rest of the guards also followed, and left in the dust. It's just that these ordinary guards don't dare to lack proper etiquette, although they don't have a proper dismount salute, but the most basic military salute is still necessary.
After they gradually moved away, the tea boy Lu Weixin had already put the sandalwood box containing the old mountain ginseng on his back, and then said respectfully: "Okay, Lord Wang, let's set off here." ”
Shangguan Qingyun, the king of Qi, said: "In this way, we will simply not rest again today, but fortunately, our mounts have also been said in the past." ”
Tea boy Lu Weixin said: "What the prince means is that we will run a long distance and rush directly to the foot of Taiyue Mountain in one go. ”
Shangguan Qingyun, the king of Qi, said: "Yes, that's right, what's the matter, is it possible that your kid is timid." ”
Tea boy Lu Weixin said: "What is this, since the king's order is like this, then the subordinates should accompany them." Besides, since the world was decided, his subordinates have really not seen the peerless demeanor of the prince for a long time. It just so happens that this way down is also a remote and desolate place, and it can really allow our master and servant to gallop well. ”
Shangguan Qingyun, the king of Qi, said: "Since this is the case, then we can decide, from now on, let's rush to the foot of Taiyue Mountain in one go, if anyone falls behind, it will be regarded as a loss." ”
Tea boy Lu Weixin said: "It's better to compare, but the prince will finally come up with a little bit of color." I've heard that this time we went to Beijing, and the prince of Zhao won all the thousand-year-old ice of the long live lord, hehehe. ”
Shangguan Qingyun, the king of Qi, said: "Good boy, there is really you." What's the matter, I'm still thinking about your prince and me. Hmph, this king doesn't have any thousand-year-old ice! ”
Speaking of this, he paused slightly, and then continued: "However, since you kid has already opened his mouth, then the king can't be too stingy. Besides, we really don't know who will win or lose in the end. In this way, if your kid really wins in the end, then the king will let you go and become a proper commander and general, which will be fine. ”
Tea boy Lu Weixin said: "Obey the king's orders, then we can really make up our minds, hehehe." ”
Shangguan Qingyun, the king of Qi, said: "Okay, you little monkey cub, dare you really wait here." Come on, you'd better win this king first, hahaha. ”
Before the words fell, I saw his fierce legs fighting, and the big green horse under his crotch rushed forward like an arrow from the string. Seeing him like this, Lu Weixin, the tea boy, was naturally not to be outdone, and almost at the same time, he also rushed forward.
Not to mention, this Qi King Shangguan Qingyun is really imposing, although he has been pampered for many years, but his kung fu has really not been pulled down. And Lu Weixin, the tea boy, is a young hero, not to be outdone, the two of them galloped all the way, and they were really tightly consumed.
It turns out that this is the cleverness of Lu Weixin, the tea boy of the people, and it is through this so-called competition that he ensures the absolute safety of their master and servant.
You must know that this master of his is the top person above 10,000 people in their Heavenly Empire. Earlier, there was a brigade of guards to protect it, and it didn't matter, but now it's different, and there can't be the slightest sloppiness.
Well, the two of them galloped wildly, not to mention ordinary little thieves, even if there were really any ill-intentioned assassins, I am afraid that they would have been thrown away without a trace.
There was nothing to say all the way, and when the ugly hour of the next day was just over, they really rushed to the foot of Taiyue Mountain in one go.
It's just that this is coming to an end, I don't know if it was the tea boy Lu Weixin's intentional secret concession, or the real sword of Shangguan Qingyun, the king of Qi, was not old. Anyway, in this gambling game between talking and laughing, it was Shangguan Qingyun, the king of Qi, who won.
After the two of them had rested enough, King Qi Shangguan Qingyun said lightly: "In this way, it is still the old rule before, you still don't want to go up with me this time." Also, if everything is in order, I can go back tomorrow at this time. When I returned, the two of us set off for a symbolic tour of the various important towns. ”
Tea boy Lu Weixin said: "Since this is the case, then the subordinates will not say anything more, and everything will follow the instructions of the prince." Fortunately, the subordinates knew that once they arrived here, they could be regarded as having entered their sphere of influence of the Wind and Thunder Temple. In this way, the safety of the prince naturally does not need to be worried about by his subordinates. ”
Speaking of this, he immediately put the package on his back and helped King Qi Shangguan Qingyun to get it neatly. Not only that, but I don't know where he conjured up a black night walker again, and he turned the dignified King Qi into a mysterious night walker in an instant.
