Chapter 7 The beginning of the clouds
"Me?" I froze, and I didn't show much panic.
"Well, I heard Yuan Qing say that you are familiar with the art of war and have quite an opinion on state affairs, so why don't you talk about the strategy of retreating." He was still smiling as if he were not joking.
I raised my eyes and swept over Mu Zixiao, he seemed to be looking at me before, with expectation in his eyes, and when he saw me looking at him, he immediately looked away. But Hua Nian, she stared at me all the time, as if she wanted to see through me, for some reason, this gaze made me extremely uncomfortable.
I pursed my lips and thought for a moment, "Actually, it's not difficult to retreat, you just need to break them all." ”
Cheng Hao's smile deepened, as if to encourage me to continue.
"Among the three kingdoms, the Gu Yue Kingdom and the Zhiqi Kingdom were both hard-pulled by the Rong Kingdom, and their alliance has been for half a year, and they have not been able to move troops for a long time, presumably because the conditions have not really been negotiated. The battle of Guyue Kingdom must be for the sake of Guyue Shizi being sent to Li Country as a hostage two years ago, and we are not convinced, we only need to transfer the proton from Kyoto to Yuzhou in the west to disperse the forces of Guyue Kingdom. The army of Zhiqi is stronger than the other two countries, but their lord loves money and lust, and there is no real excuse to attack the Li State, Rongguo must have sent gold, silver and jewelry to bribe him, we only need to send more jewels and beauties than Rongguo. Among these three kingdoms, if they really want to fight, they are only Rongguo, but they are not enough troops, and they are not afraid. ”
When I finished speaking, I realized that all three of them were staring at me, but all three of them had different eyes.
Cheng Hao is appreciative, Mu Zixiao is amazed, and Hua Nian, I can't understand the look in her eyes.
Seeing me looking at her, she immediately removed the look in her eyes and said with a smile: "My sister is really talented, comparable to many men." She came over and took my hand, "Do you know that King Ningyuan has summoned many Shangshu and squires, but none of them have a good plan. ”
She pulled me to sit next to her, so that I was clinging to Mu Zixiao, and my face was red and a little uncomfortable. She didn't seem to notice it at all, and continued: "Zixiao, Sister Jinse is a treasure, we will become a family in the future, you have to provide for him well!" ”
The more she said, the more embarrassed I became. plucked up the courage to look at Mu Zixiao, but saw that he was lowering his head, his hands clutching his shirt tightly.
I can't help but wonder, is this man still the same man he was eight years ago? Is he still the one who flies on the horse with a hearty smile and a hunting shirt, my hero?
I pursed my lips and turned my head slowly, seeing Ningyuan Wang Chenghao with a sneering face......
Things seem to be getting more and more complicated. For a moment, I felt that Cheng Hao was not calling me to come to ask for a way to retreat. The dark green shadow of the street during the day began to come back to mind.
Mu Zixiao suddenly stood up and arched his hand: "Lord Wang, my subordinates suddenly feel a little unwell, say goodbye first, please feel free to do so!" ”
Hua Nian's face changed slightly, and he was immediately blessed, and went out with Mu Zixiao.
Only me and Ning Yuan Wang Chenghao were left in the hall. Somehow, I sensed that they were intent on leaving me alone with King Ning Yuan. When the footsteps were far away, Cheng Hao said, "You still don't leave?" ”
"Can the prince bring his entourage today?" I don't want to beat around the bush.
"Not really."
"Hmph, then come to think of it, the prince's entourage has other important matters." My tone was a little cold.
"You mean, Qinghe?" His tone was calm all the time.
"It turns out that his name is Qinghe. I don't know what the prince's intention is to let your entourage follow me, a weak woman? ”
"Weak woman?" Cheng Hao chuckled, he didn't deny that the man in dark green clothes on the street today was his entourage Qinghe, the person who stood beside him in Fulan Garden that time, even if I didn't know his face, I knew his shoulder knife.
Cheng Hao continued: "The first time we met, I dared to ask for an official position for my younger brother in front of me, and rode alone over the mountains and mountains to Kyoto for more than ten days, and on the way I subdued two robbers...... I don't think you're a weak woman. He leaned back in his chair and counted my experiences over the past few days.
My eyes widened and my heart was churning. I was speechless for a while.
Cheng Hao slowly straightened up and said, "If you are a weak woman, I will not send someone to follow you!" ”
He turned his wheelchair and slowly walked out of the antechamber.
"That ......" suddenly remembered something, and I suddenly spoke.
"Yuan Qing is not in Kyoto now, he is going to protect a very important person." Cheng Hao didn't look back.
I hurriedly spoke again: "The Night King is also your man, right?" On my way to Kyoto, you asked him to follow me? ”
The figure who was moving forward paused: "...... You can think so. ”
Ningyuan Wang Chenghao has become an increasingly mysterious figure in my heart. People are naturally afraid of mysterious things......
There are still 10 days left until May 20.
In the past ten days, Hua Nian sent a few mothers-in-law and maids to accompany me to go out for a walk, and every time I was accompanied by the green warbler. Every time I go out, she will tell the green warbler to buy some things according to my preferences, and she will also tell me not to be restrained, just buy what I like, and have enough money.
Hua Nian was so good, so good that I often thought that her strange look when I was in the front hall that day was just my delusion.
It is said that the gold, silver and jade made by several shops in Kyoto are superb, but they are extremely difficult to buy, and some people are even willing to pay a high price for other people's second-hand items, just to see the seals of these shops on the utensils or jewelry.
And I met Luo Lantian in one of these shops.
That day, I was looking at a pearl hairpin in the "Jade Pavilion" when I suddenly heard a noise. Following the prestige, I saw the boss and two clerks twisting a thin man, dragging him out of the door, the man was twisted his hands, could not move, only stuck to the ground with his feet, shouted: "How can this be reasonable, how can this be reasonable, open a store but can't let people come in to see, and say that it is a famous shop, I think it is a deception and stealing fame, lawlessness, dog eyes look down on people......
As soon as the "man" sounded, I couldn't help but laugh. Walk slowly over and signal the shopkeeper to let go.
Because I've been frequenting this store a lot lately, I've been a big customer here, after all, the "Jade Pavilion" stuff is considered to be the best among the stores I mentioned before, and it's hard for ordinary people to afford it. As soon as the boss saw that I had intervened to stop me, he complained to me.
It turned out that this "man" often came to the store, and he came for half a day at a time, but he didn't buy anything. Originally, this was nothing, after all, many customers who came to the store were like this, just too much. But this person, he not only looks, but also touches with his hands, a piece of gold jewelry and jade, often touching it for a long time.
"This gold jewelry and jade are all about a fate, and that fate has been touched away by him, how can anyone still buy it?" The boss cried and was extremely aggrieved.
"You boss, don't let people pick and choose when you do business? I'm like this in other stores, and I haven't seen anything wrong with the bosses of other stores, so I advise you, don't be too stingy in business-" The "man" eyebrows were raised to the sky, and he looked arrogant.
"You ......" the boss couldn't say a word when he was choked.
In the middle of their argument, I quickly looked at the "man", who was much thinner than the average man, and was really big in a blue shirt, like a child in adult clothes. He wears a wide-brimmed hat, and his eyebrows and eyes are not very real, and his exposed white jaw and neck can be slightly seen.
I smiled deeper and persuaded: "Boss, don't worry, this little brother is afraid that he likes your shop's craftsmanship very much, so he can't put it down." I glanced at the "little brother," who was looking up and peeking at me from under the brim of his hat.
I continued: "It just so happens that I haven't been to any other shop today, and I really have a good eye for that little brother, and I like the few things he has rubbed, so I can wrap them all up for me." ”
As soon as the boss heard this, he didn't pursue the previous matter, and immediately ordered the guy to go.
In the afterglow, I saw the cyan figure next to me quietly moving out, I turned around and smiled, "Little brother, please wait a moment." ”
The figure paused, then stood upright.
I took a few things that my boss had wrapped, picked out two, and handed them to him: "These two are for you." ”
"No merit is not rewarded!" He's tough.
I sneered: "How is it reactive? The little brother helped me pick out the best things. ”
He hesitated, but finally reached out and took it: "Sister, you are really beautiful and beautiful," he scratched his head, "By the way, life is also very good, dare to ask which house you are the eldest lady of?" ”
I laughed again, where is my life better than his?
Lu Ying answered on the side and said, "This is the quasi-second lady of Mu Shilang's mansion, you can see it clearly!" ”
The man hurriedly sang: "No wonder he looks beautiful and kind, Mu Shilang is blessed!" After saying that, he laughed.
The green warbler pursed her lips and muttered, "Lustful ......"
I couldn't help but laugh out loud and said, "By the way, it's Mu Shilang's Mansion, the Mu Mansion with a big willow tree outside the courtyard wall, do you know?" When the moon rises, it hangs on the willow tree, and it is very beautiful. ”
The man was determined, slightly silent for a while, and said: "It's really beautiful, but I haven't been to see it yet, and I have the opportunity to thank my sister before making a decision!" ”
"There is a moon tonight, and it must be wonderful to enjoy the moon!" I laughed.
After coming out of the "Jade Pavilion", I went to buy a few more foods, and I took a group of maids and women back to the Mu Mansion.
The sun faded and the world darkened. A waning moon is slowly rising from the sky, and the stars in the sky are like beautiful dreams. The whole world was only the chirping of insects and darkness. Both the green warbler and the purple bamboo are already asleep.
I was standing in the courtyard while the moon was rising over the tips of the willows.
I let out a sigh of relief and jumped to the top of the wall. The "man" in the green shirt in the daytime stood below, leaning against the trunk of a tree and looking at me.
"The moon is on the willow tops, and people are about after dusk. My sister really wants to have a secret tryst with me, aren't you afraid that your Mu Shilang will be jealous? ”
I fell silently to him.
"I didn't expect that my sister not only has a peerless face, but also a good kung fu, tsk, how can this Mu Shilang afford it?" He's still teasing me.
I wasn't annoyed, and said leisurely: "You're not bad, the three big men can't pull you today, your kung fu is above me," I approached him, leaned my face closer to him, and said softly, "Little brother, no, or I should call you, little sister......"
I clearly felt his figure shake for a moment, and then sighed, ripped off the hat on his head, revealing a pair of big black and white eyes, and said indignantly: "I'll just say, I'm Luo Lantian so good-looking, how can I pretend to be a man, it's my master, I have to cover me with this Laoshizi!" ”
I looked at her with a smile: "It turns out that your name is Luo Lantian." ”
"My sister can call me Xiaotian!" She sneered, and in spite of the dim moonlight, her eyes still glowed, the kind that were clean and thorough no matter how things changed. Let people trust plainly. She came over and took my hand: "Good sister, I was wrong, I shouldn't have lied!"
"Then tell me the truth, what are you doing in Jade Pavilion?" To be honest, I like this smart and smart girl very much, she is only two or three years younger than me, but she is free and happy than me.
