Chapter 100: The identity is known to the world
The eldest princess understood his words in her heart, but she didn't want to pay attention to Lian Zhi'er's matter at all, so she lowered her voice and said, "That woman is really not a worry-free person, since you are leading troops to fight outside, I will naturally not let you be distracted." ”
Ruan Lu said in a deep voice, "Thank you, mother." ”
The eldest princess knew that he hid Lian Zhi'er, just to prevent her mother, so she was naturally very panicked, but it was not easy to have a seizure.
"Why don't you come and say goodbye to your husband, the newlywed Yan'er is really wronged by you." The eldest princess beckoned to Fu Yunhuang, and then Fu Yunhuang walked over slowly.
"Husband, take care of yourself when you go." Fu Yunhuang's eyes were very sincere, and she didn't want to become a widow at a young age, although she and Ruan Lu did not have the slightest conjugal love.
Ruan Lu nodded, "Take care." ”
After saying goodbye, Yan Hou immediately got on the tall horse and went straight to the military camp outside the city, and then dispatched troops to set off for the border pass.
And Liang Hua was already waiting for him at the barracks, and Liang Hua was originally a gentleman's style, and he was shaking the dice with the guards there.
He also hung up his post in the army, and this time Ruan Lu went on an expedition, and he didn't know how much he quietly did, and everyone only recommended him as Ruan Lu's deputy general.
When he saw Ruan Lu coming, he threw the dice aside, leaned over and said with a smile. "His Royal Highness the Prince of the World has been missed for half an hour, but he can't say goodbye to Miss Fu? She must be very sad when she is just getting married and leaving? ”
He called Miss Fu instead of the princess, but Ruan Lu didn't care about his words at all, he just sneered, "You are so dignified and not pampered in Beijing, what are you going to do with me to the border pass?" ”
Liang Yan shook the fan in his hand, "I have a stronger relationship with His Royal Highness the Prince, so I am naturally relieved that you will go alone." We have to live and die together. ”
Ruan Lu's face was full of disgust, "To be honest......"
"Okay." Liang Yan's face was full of helplessness, "It's not that I was forced by Lao Tzu, now my Lao Tzu is about to return to his hometown, and there is no one in the same clan who is angry, so I have to drive me to the shelf, pitiful, pitiful." ”
Ruan Lu sneered, "Have you ever killed someone?" I'm afraid that I haven't even hacked a chicken to death, so don't be so scared that you pee your pants. ”
"Isn't there a heroic and martial highness to protect me?" He came up with a smile and looked like a dog, "When I get to the border, my life will be in the hands of His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Ruan Lu's face was full of disdain, "When you get to the battlefield, this Shizi will let you take the lead first." ”
At this time, there were already people urging outside, and the situation at the border pass was urgent. At this time, the people of Beiliang were sharpening their knives, and there was no master general at the border.
In the dark night sky, even the stars were all lonely, and dozens of horses disappeared into the vast official arrival, heading straight for the border pass.
*******
Although the eldest princess sent Ruan Lu to the battlefield for power, after all, she was facing the fierce and vicious Beiliang people, so she had to be anxious every day, and she was only excited when she heard the news.
On this day, the eldest princess entered the palace early, but she heard that the border pass came with good news, only said that after Ruan Lu went to the border pass, she immediately fought with the Beiliang people, and the Beiliang people were defeated and retreated, and lost all the cities they captured, and only retreated outside the pass.
The eldest princess was overjoyed, and even the Queen Mother kept praising Ruan Lu.
Only then did those who were frightened in the court and the central government breathe a heavy sigh of relief, and they did not mention the fact that Ruan Lu had falsely preached the holy decree in the first place.
But after all, the eldest princess is an unusual woman who has seen the world, and she only feels that something is wrong, after all, today's King Yan Cheng has an extraordinary application, and he has a little more strategy than the original King of Beiliang, how could he be defeated like this.
However, everyone has been blinded, and only ridiculed the Beiliang people as just some wine bags and rice bags, and they are not the opponents of the Central Plains people at all.
The eldest princess came back from the palace worriedly.
However, her sedan chair stopped at the door of the mansion, and she saw the butler running over in a hurry, and her white and chubby face was covered with beads of sweat.
"Eldest princess, I don't know who threw a letter in front of the mansion, and I want to present it to you." As he spoke, the butler presented a letter.
The eldest princess was stunned for a moment, but she couldn't think of who would use such a shady method to send the letter, so she only frowned and opened the letter.
After reading it, his face suddenly changed, and even the hand holding the envelope was constantly trembling.
The grandmother next to her saw that her face was wrong, but seeing that everyone was present, it was not easy to ask, so she hurriedly said, "Eldest princess, it's time to enter the mansion." ”
The eldest princess regained a little bit of her senses, and only stepped out of the sedan chair with one foot, who knew that her feet were floating, if it weren't for the maid around her, she almost fell to the ground.
She then walked to the mansion, but when she saw that Yanhou heard that she had returned to the mansion, she hurriedly ran over, and only sent everyone out before she spoke.
"I've already found out that Ah Kong was taken away by Shi Ran, and look at the unsavory relationship between Shi Ran and Na Lian'er." Yan Hou's face was full of worry, "It's really strange, no one knows where this girl came from, didn't she come out of the cracks in the ground?" ”
The eldest princess took a deep breath and only handed him the letter in her hand.
After reading it, Yan Hou was also shocked and said urgently, "How is it possible?" How could she be the county lord of Beiliang. ”
Only then did the two remember. When King Yan Cheng entered Beijing, why did he insist that the county lord of Beiliang was in the capital, but now it seems that such a figure is hidden in his mansion.
"I've met once, I ...... at the beginning" The eldest princess remembered the face of the hanged ghost, and her every move was clearly exactly the same as Lian'er.
No wonder when she first saw Lian'er, she didn't like it at all, and even felt as if she had seen it somewhere.
Yanhou muttered, "Lian'er...... Lian Zhi'er, it seems that our good son already knew who she was, but he didn't expect to hide it so well, and even we hid it together. ”
The eldest princess's face was like gold paper, and she only said slowly, "Now that we are in the same situation with the people of Beiliang, if we know that our son is married to the county lord of Beiliang, it is a big crime to rob the family and exterminate the clan." ”
Yan Hou also had no idea for a while, and only continued, "No matter who the person who sent the letter is, but since this matter has been poked out, I am afraid that one day it will reach the ears of the Queen Mother." ”
The eldest princess thought about it, so she called the maid outside in and ordered, "Tell the princess to come to me immediately." ”
Only then did she understand that since Shi Ran was entangled, Fu Yunhuang had eloped all the way to find him, and obviously knew the story, after all, Lian Zhi'er was brought back by Ruan Lu from there.
Soon Fu Yunhuang came. She saw that the eldest princess and Yanhou were both sitting upright, their faces were solemn, and it was not that something had happened.
The eldest princess looked at her coldly, without her former kindness, "What are you hiding, don't say it quickly, this princess thought that you and we were all on the same vine, but I didn't expect you to hide it for Ruan Lu." ”
Fu Yunhuang was stunned for a moment, and only knelt down and said, "I didn't hide anything......"
"Lian Zhi'er's business, Ruan Lu's business." The eldest princess's face became more and more solemn, "There are also those who are dyed." ”
Fu Yunhuang saw that the matter had been revealed, and he could no longer hide it, which was kneeling on the ground, crying pear blossoms with rain, "Mother and father Mingjian, the daughter-in-law didn't want to hide it from you, but His Royal Highness the Prince didn't allow me to say it." ”
Soon she told the eldest princess about a few people, only saying that Lian Zhi'er and Shi Ran had already made a lifelong decision when they were repairing the river embankment, and it was Ruan Lu who snatched love with a knife, and then forced Lian Zhi'er to get pregnant, so she brought her to the mansion.
After hearing this, the eldest princess was silent for a long time, she never thought that her son would do such a thing.
"I didn't expect this beast to be for a woman, and he didn't even care about his life." The eldest princess's eyes were red, revealing murderous intent, "As long as this woman lives, Ruan Lu will be worried about her life." Kill her instantly. ”
"No, no, we have to send her to the palace and hand her over to everyone before we can get out." The eldest princess hurriedly said, "We must not be ruined because of her." ”
Seeing that the eldest princess had become such a madman, Yan Hou said, "Since this letter can be delivered, I'm afraid that person must be hiding other thoughts, so it's better to pretend not to know about this matter first." ”
But where can the eldest princess listen, it is clear that she has lost her mind by Lian Zhizi.
"Immediately call the people from the mansion and search all the places that Ruan Lu often goes, are you still afraid that you won't be able to find her?"
Fu Yunhuang's most disgusting thing was Lian Zhi'er, only hearing such words, he was immediately full of pride, and he already had an idea in his heart.
"Mother, Yun Dou'er disappeared from the mansion together, I'm afraid that she will be taken by His Royal Highness the Prince to serve that woman." Fu Yunhuang's eyes revealed a hint of sinisterness. "I heard that Yun Dou'er also has an elderly mother in Beijing, and she will go home in a few days."
The eldest princess nodded, "Okay, find that woman no matter what." ”
*******
The courtyard is deep, and the branches outside seem to be gradually turning yellow, and even the branches only keep thinking about their own Akong, and can't help but leave tears again.
Shi Ran took her child to somewhere, if she went to Beiliang, she would definitely hand over her Akong to her Aunt Lan.
Yun Dou'er added her a new cup of tea, and when she saw her crying, she said, "Madam, rest assured, His Royal Highness the Prince will return to Beijing soon, I heard that the Beiliang people have withdrawn, and even the captured city has been robbed." ”
Lian Zhi'er naturally didn't believe that their Bei Liang's iron cavalry was so weak, "What? How can it be? ”
"Our Royal Highness is extremely brave, even more so when he was in charge of the forbidden army, and he also drove the people of Beiliang out of the capital."
Yun Dou'er was a foolish person, and after saying this, he suddenly remembered that Lian Zhi'er was also from Beiliang, so he hurriedly covered his mouth.
She then remembered something, only hurriedly brought over a stack of buns, and said with a smile, "This is made by my mother, the buns she made are excellent, when I go back today, she said that you treat the slave maid so well, so I want the slave maid to bring you some to taste." I hope you don't dislike it. ”
Lian Zhi'er only grabbed one, and it was really delicious in his mouth, so he couldn't help but nod.
And at this moment, I heard a commotion outside.
When Ruan Lu was leaving, he had already ordered people to surround this place so tightly that not even a fly could fly out, and he didn't know who dared to trespass here.
Yun Dou'er was about to go out to take a look, but saw the door of the house being pushed open suddenly, but saw a group of people walking in.
The face of the leader was gloomy, and his phoenix eyes were full of anger. looked straight at Lian Zhi'er.
Yun Dou'er hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Greetings to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess." ”
The eldest princess didn't pay attention to her, just looked at Lian Zhi'er, her voice was cold, "County Lord, you are so good that you have made us all blind people with open eyes." ”
Lian Zhi'er saw that she already knew her identity, and she didn't hide it, just eating the buns in her mouth. smiled and said, "Don't you Central Plains also have a saying, what is it called dark under the lamp?!" ”
The eldest princess looked at the woman in front of her, and hated the root of her teeth, "Come on, take her down, send her to the palace immediately, and listen to the fate of the queen mother." ”
Lian Zhi'er finished the last bite of the bun, "You don't have to tie me, I'll go by myself." ”
This is the first time Lian Zhi'er has stepped into the palace gate, and in the past, his father often stayed on the dragon couch at night, and only said that he would take her into the palace to see and learn.
Lian Zhi'er didn't like it, so she only shook her head and said, "Although the house is beautiful, the palace wall is so high that it looks like a coffin, and my daughter will be scared when she goes in." ”
At that time, her brother Lian Shuo only laughed at her, "You stupid girl, that's where such a noble person lives." ”
Now Lian Zhi'er has just entered the palace and walked forward along the road, and he really felt as if he was suffocated.
At last she was led into the harem, and went straight to a golden room, where a sharp-voiced chamberlain came in and invited them in.
Lian Zhi'er entered the house, but saw that inside the house, gold and silver were shining, jewels were shining, and the fragrance of lilies was burned.
And a dignified and decent woman was sitting on the couch, looking at Lian Zhi'er's body with a pair of eyes, and looked at her carefully, "You are the county lord of Beiliang." ”
Before she could reply, the attendant beside the Queen Mother had already shouted, "It's her, the old slave has seen it, and it is she who humiliated the old minister at the beginning." ”
Lian Zhi'er remembered that it was his pants that he pulled down at the beginning, and couldn't help but feel a little more sorry in his eyes, and said with a smile. "At the beginning, the county lord did not do anything more, and he made amends to you here."
That father-in-law Liu hurriedly scolded, "When you see the Queen Mother, why don't you kneel?" ”
Lian Zhi'er smiled, but there was arrogance between his eyebrows, "We Beiliang people did not bow down to you, and my brother didn't even have to kneel when he saw the emperor and the queen mother, so naturally I didn't have to kneel." ”
The eldest princess saw Lian Zhi'er's appearance, which looked very much like the arrogant appearance of the King of Beiliang, so she knelt down and said, "Queen Mother, it has always been this slut who concealed his identity and hid in my mansion, and I ask you to send it down." ”
The Queen Mother looked at Lian Zhi'er, "You are terrible to death?" ”
Lian Zhi'er shook her head, "We people in Beiliang are not afraid of death, and today we are at the disposal of the Queen Mother." ”
The Queen Mother nodded, and there was a rare hint of approval in her eyes. "Lock this girl up, and wait for the ministers to go to court tomorrow."
Lian Zhi'er raised her eyes to look at the golden house, her eyes fluttering, "Can the county lord be taken out of the palace?" This palace is really not a place for people to stay, and it is very uncomfortable. ”
**********
The border pass is bleak, and the cold wind is as sharp as a sword blade.
After Ruan Lu came here, he took the lost city in just six days, and everything went smoothly a little weird.
Those people regarded him as the god of war, and even when he went out, there were people who kept bowing to him.
After the Beiliang people entered the city, they only robbed the grain and did not kill innocents indiscriminately, which is not like the cruelty of the Beiliang people.
What made Ruan Lu even more uneasy was that he had never seen King Yan Cheng from beginning to end, and what was even more suspicious was that King Beiliang was not guarding the city with his elite soldiers, so he abandoned the city because he couldn't beat it.
On this day, he discussed the use of troops with several of his subordinates in the tent, because the spies knew where the military rations of Beiliang were hidden, so they took advantage of the night to lead people to attack.
Ruan Lu only personally ordered troops, and this matter was finalized.
He hadn't rested for two days in a row, and was about to go back to his tent, when he saw Liang Yan walking with a half-old child tied up, dressed as a Beiliang person, and a string of wolf teeth tied to his chest.
The child was not very old, but he looked at people like a little wolf cub.
"His Royal Highness, this kid is a Beiliang man who didn't have time to escape, he was caught by me, looking at his young age, he doesn't know how to fall, just waiting for you to deal with it." Liang Yan sighed, "In our Central Plains, such a big child is only afraid that he is still running and playing on the street." ”
Ruan Lu never cared about these small things of mustard beans, but looking at this child, he couldn't help but think of his own Akong.
"I'm going to kill you." The child yelled.
"Why did you kill me?" Ruan Lu looked at him, "Do you hate us Central Plains people like this?" ”
"It's you, it's you who killed my father four years ago, it's you who killed my sister Lian Zhi'er, the best county lord in our Beiliang." The boy gritted his teeth, and if he hadn't been bound, he was afraid that he would have rushed up now.
"You're very familiar with Lian Zhi'er?" Ruan Lu's heart couldn't help but hurt.
"That's natural, when I was a child, the county lord's sister took me to the snow mountains to play." His eyes were red, "You were the ones who killed her, you were the ones who killed her." ”
Liang Yan knew that Lian Zhi'er was not dead, but after all, he couldn't tell this child, so he sighed helplessly, "What to do with this child?" Do you want to cut off your head? ”
Ruan Lu frowned, "Throw him out of the city gate, it's up to him whether he lives or dies." ”
The kid never thought that Ruan Lu would let him go, he was ready to die, so he only gritted his teeth and said, "My name is Hedong, and I will come back to you for revenge." ”
Ruan Lu didn't bother to pay attention to a child, and only turned around and entered the tent.
However, before he could sit down, he saw a guard hurriedly enter, "Your Royal Highness, someone from the capital has sent a message to say that one of your ladies has had an accident, and I am afraid that she will be beheaded." ”
