Chapter 273
When you and I return to Tanglin, we should be good to fight for Tanglin, and the rest of the things are not in my consideration. ”
As soon as his voice fell, he hooked his lips and smiled at him, but his face was really cold and thick, and even the smile on his face suddenly looked nondescript.
Zheqian was annoyed in his heart, he knew that he shouldn't mention that Lan Yeyu again, but in his heart, he really wanted to relieve his imperial sister, and he was secretly anxious and worried, but now that his words were useless, he naturally couldn't say more.
After all, he has never tasted the so-called love in his life, and he has never experienced the so-called love and affection.
"Brother Chen's got it."
He was silent for a moment, and after weighing it in his heart, he replied in a low and meek voice.
Sihan glanced at him again, and said no more.
The two sat quietly and were silent again, and the atmosphere around them was completely suppressed and silent.
Not long after, a guard suddenly brought a night meal. It's just that this meal not only has rice and meat pieces, but even pastries and tea.
When the guards all visited the bamboo box in front of him, Sihan was taken off guard for a moment, and then the corners of his eyes were slightly raised, and he asked in a low voice: "Where did all this food come from?"
The guards stood up one after another, and one of them replied respectfully, "Princess Hui, these are all prepared by the Great Zhou Emperor." During this trip, he prepared a cart of food for the eldest princess and the prince, which was all available, enough for the eldest princess and the third prince to eat Tanglin Kyoto. ”
The guard replied naturally. However, when these words fell into Sihan's ears, her thoughts surged and her expression changed slightly.
But before he could come back to his senses, suddenly, the guard seemed to think of something, hesitated for a moment, and continued to say respectfully: "In addition, there is another matter under the subordinates, I want to report to the eldest princess and the third prince."
"Say." Sihan replied, forcibly pressed his heart, and spoke in a low voice.
The guard nodded hurriedly, then raised his hand and took out an object from his sleeve robe and handed it to Sihan, and said respectfully: "When I first set up camp here today, this carrier pigeon suddenly rampage jumped into the camp, and the subordinates saw that it had a bamboo tube tied to its feet, so just in case, they caught the carrier pigeon and took the bamboo tube. And when the creed in the bamboo tube was pulled out, it was seen that the content of the creed was extremely strange and mysterious, I didn't know whether it was true or not, and the subordinates didn't dare to take it lightly, so they still wanted to present the creed to the eldest princess. ”
When these words came into his ears, Sihan's expression moved slightly, and he stared at the bamboo tube handed to the guard, and then raised his hand to take the bamboo tube.
After opening the bamboo tube and flattening the creed in the bamboo tube, a series of slightly delicate handwriting suddenly appeared in front of him.
'Tanglin City God's Temple, Dongling Young Emperor. The Great Britain clears the Sha River, and Lan Ye dies. At the foot of the Tanglin Road, the national teacher is destroyed, when the spring of Tanglin comes, the Donglin is destroyed, the world is chaotic, the living souls are ruined.
A small creed is actually stuffed with handwriting, but even if it is so crowded, the handwriting is really too delicate, so I don't feel too messy.
It's just that the content of this creed is really shocking, even if it is not true or false, but it is surprisingly cautious enough to make people panic and uneasy.
Sihan's pupils shrank suddenly, and his face was gloomy and uncertain.
Seeing her look strange, Zheqian frowned and asked in a low voice, "Sister Huang, what's wrong?"
Sihan came back to his senses at this time, his heart fluctuated violently, and he was far away and cold. Who would dare to write such a creed? Again, where is this creed going? Could it be that it was specially sent to her?
If so, who is the one who wrote the letter? Who has such great powers to completely monitor her every move, so that the Tanglin guards have just set up camp and have carrier pigeons just the right way to send the letter?
The more I think about it, the more complex and undulating my heart becomes.
After a moment, she forcibly pressed her mind and slowly handed the creed in her hand towards Zheqian.
Zhe Qianfen did not delay, immediately raised his hand to take it, and when he lowered his eyes, in an instant, his face suddenly turned white, his eyes trembled, and the whole person was shocked.
Si Han glanced at him, and then looked at the soldier who had just spoken, "Did you notice anything unusual during today's march?" On the official road, can there be fresh horseshoe prints and horse manure? ”
The guards were stunned, recalled seriously for a moment, and then shook their heads, "Maybe the weather has been too cold recently, and few people come out, even the horse gang is very rare." Therefore, on today's trip, the official road is deserted, there are no passing cars and horses, and there are no fresh horseshoe prints and horse manure. In addition, during the march, everything was as usual, and there was no abnormality. ”
Is it?
Isn't it all the same?
Sihan's expression was far away, complex ups and downs, swaying layer by layer.
After a moment of silence, she pressed her heart and said to the guard: "This palace knows, you go out first."
The guards nodded suddenly, did not dare to delay, and immediately turned to leave.
When all the guards left, the atmosphere in the tent fell completely silent. Zheqian wrapped the creed in a ball slightly, and raised his eyes to look at Sihan, "Sister Huang thinks the words on this creed are credible?" ”
Sihan Bingwei immediately spoke, but she was silent, and after waiting for a long time, she said in a deep voice: "I can't talk about believing or not believing, but the words on this creed are too mysterious and special, and I have to guard against it."
Zheqian's pupils shrank, his eyes were full of heaviness, and he nodded, "The things on this creed may have been written by someone at will, so there is no need to worry too much about the Xuanxu Imperial Sister." After all, the emperor has the Imperial Forest Army and the secret guards to protect him, and the national teacher is not idle, and Tanglin has the emperor Zhanwenyi and Song Taifu in charge, no matter what, Tanglin should be stable, and the young emperor and the national teacher will also be safe. ”
When these words came into his ears, Sihan's expression did not change, and the sense of complexity and tightness in the depths of his heart did not disappear at all.
Some things are not groundless, in this way, someone dares to write such a creed, which also proves that some people hate Tanglin, and even hate Lan Yeyu, yes, they are enemies, and they are in the dark, so they naturally have to be guarded against.
Sihan didn't speak, his thoughts swayed layer by layer, churning endlessly. In her mind, she also began to filter out those who had a grudge against her or even with Tanglin one by one, and after thinking about it for a while, she finally felt that the most suspicious person now was either Uncle Guo or Wei Xueman, who was rescued by Qingshan.
Thinking of this, Sihan's pupils shrank a little imperceptibly, and then pressed his mind for a while, and once again turned his gaze towards Zheqian, "A few days ago, your uncle fled from Tanglin Kyoto, and you were stationed on the side of the Qujiang River, so you really didn't see your uncle?" ”
Zheqian nodded admittedly, "It's true that I haven't seen it." At the beginning, the younger brother also took his uncle's letterhead, thinking that his uncle was going to defect, but unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, there was no trace of him. As she spoke, her expression moved slightly, "Is the imperial sister suspicious that her brother's uncle wrote this creed?" ”
Sihan's eyes were distant, "It's just suspicion." After all, Uncle Guo was expelled from Beijing by Zhan Wenyi and the National Teacher, and he was defeated, and he also hated Tanglin and the National Teacher. ”
Zheqian was slightly stunned, thought about it very seriously for a moment, and then said slowly: "Sister Huang, the person who wrote this creed this time may not be the uncle of the minister's brother."
Sihan raised the corner of his eye.
He continued: "Although my brother's uncle seems to be fierce and rude, he is just a cowardly man after all. He usually only pays lip service to his efforts, but in reality, he is also timid and does not dare to decide easily. Even, a few days ago, my uncle raised an army to rebel, and my brother felt that this matter was strange, because with my uncle's temperament, he didn't dare to do such a thing without authorization, not to mention, my uncle also had a handle in the hands of the regent, that is, the regent was not in the country, but the residual power was still there, and my uncle didn't dare to act rashly. Yes, the younger brother thought that it was already strange for the uncle to suddenly raise troops a few days ago, and then he defected to the younger brother but did not come for a long time, which was also very problematic, and with the uncle's temperament, he did not dare to do anything unfavorable to Tanglin easily, that is, this creed, Xu Yes was not done by the uncle, and the handwriting on it was completely different from the uncle's handwriting. ”
The lengthy words are clear layer by layer, and they are in the ears, and Sihan has no intention of refutation.
That uncle does seem to have a vicious face, but in fact, he is really just a mouthful. is also like when she Yan Sihan forcibly threatened him in front of him, then Uncle Guo would naturally be soft.
Moreover, Zheqian is also right, the words on this creed are indeed not like Uncle Guo's, so who is the person who wrote the letter?
Wei Xueman?
The more I thought about it, the more noisy my mind became.
Zheqian swept her eyes, showing worry and concern on his face, and finally couldn't help but change the topic, "Sister Huang, the food is almost cold, Sister Huang should eat it while it's hot." ”
Sihan replied and nodded to herself, but after taking a bite of food with Zheqian, her pupils shrank, and she looked at Zheqian again, and said in a low and distant voice: "When Uncle Guo rebelled, you didn't communicate with Uncle Guo?" Why did I hear that you and Uncle Guo are colluding, and they should cooperate with the outside to be unfavorable to Tanglin? ”
Zheqian shook his head, his face and gaze were all true, "Imperial sister, the rumors from the outside world are definitely not true. Although the younger brother exchanged letters with his uncle a few days ago, he did not discuss the matter of raising troops in Tanglin. ”
Is it?
Sihan's expression moved slightly, and he didn't speak.
Zheqian suddenly felt a little anxious and worried, "Sister Huang, what the younger brother said is the truth, Sister Huang, you ......"
"You don't have to worry, I don't doubt you." Before he could say anything, Sihan replied calmly, and as he spoke, his voice raised slightly, and continued: "Since this creed was not written by Uncle Guo, the rest of the possibility may be that Wei Xueman wrote it."
Zheqian was stunned again, "Sister Huang suspects Wei Xueman? But although she has a grudge against the imperial sister, she is still a woman in the end, and she must also flee on the road at this time. ”
"Anyway, she is also the daughter of Loulan Anyihou, how can she be an idle person. Now this palace is just speculation, and it is not certain. But now when it can be determined, Qingshan made a wrong step this time, and in the future, there will always be a worrying future, and it is rare to have a good ending. ”
As soon as his voice fell, his brows furrowed, and his face became more and more complicated and melancholy, and then he said again: "You are replenishing your body, eat more."
Zheqian nodded, his face was also complicated, and he wanted to say something, but he didn't say much after all.
After the two of them finished eating together, Sihan summoned the guards to withdraw the meal, and at this time, Zheqian hesitated and spoke again, "Sister Huang wants to send someone to secretly find Yue Hou?" After all, he is the only heir of Lao Yue Hou after all, and the younger brother has heard that the imperial sister is also very tolerant of Yue Hou, if Yue Hou really encounters an accident in the hands of Yu Xueman, it will not be good. And Wei Xueman is this person, the younger brother confined her in the camp at the beginning, and he also had a little contact with her a few times, only to feel that although the woman seems to be delicate, she is extremely smart, she can bend and stretch, and she is also good at talking and calculating. ”
Sihan's eyes were far away, his complexion did not change much, and he said in a low voice: "The road is Qingshan's own choice, and it is no wonder that others are good or evil." It's just fate that you and I can't cross him. ”
As soon as these words came out, she lacked interest, and she didn't have the intention to say more, and after a few glances at Chao Zheqian's slightly heavy face, she finally changed her words and only said: "It's not early, your body and bones have not healed, or let the guards set up a couch for you here, and I will go to the carriage outside to make do with it, and by the way, I will ask the deputy general in the army again."
As he spoke, without waiting for Zheqian to react, he slowly got up.
Zheqian was stunned for a moment, and stopped talking, but in the end he didn't say much, and after condensing at Sihan's back for a moment, he responded respectfully and obediently.
It was cold outside the tent, the cold wind was blowing wantonly, and the surrounding trees were blown swaying, which was extremely hideous.
The guards were all wrapped in battle robes, and most of them sat and ate in the cold wind, while the rest of the men walked around cautiously patrolling in all directions.
Sihan summoned a few lieutenants, gave a few instructions, and then said no more, and boarded the carriage to rest.
The next day, before dawn, the group began to hurry again. Zheqian's body is still old, his face is pale, and his whole person looks even more thin and fragile.
Si Han was slightly distressed, but he was helpless, the march was outside, it was inconvenient everywhere, even though he knew that Zheqian was seriously injured and lost his arm, and the injury was hideous, but he still had to let him endure it forcibly, and it would be good to arrive in Tanglin Kyoto.
And Zheqian is also able to bear it, at least in front of her, he has never snorted because of pain, even if it hurts so much that his teeth tremble, but when facing her, he can still forcibly calm down, and even try to talk to her like no one else.
In the past, I only felt that Zheqian was the son of Concubine Shu, and he should be alienated from his guard no matter what, that is, the young emperor used to like to be close to her, and she was also disgusted, but unexpectedly, during a trip to the Great Zhou, not only fell out with Lan Yeyu, but also subverted Zheqian's attitude.
Because tens of thousands of troops marched at the same time, the formation was extremely huge, in order to prevent high-profile and disturbance of the people, Sihan tried his best to send the deputy generals to a slightly remote road.
The guards are all iron-blooded and resolute, vigorous and resolute, even if they are tired and tired, they sleep in the open air, and no one has ever slacked off.
The group hurried all the way forward, and finally arrived outside the city of Kyoto at dusk on the fifth day.
Because of the reason for sending someone to send a message back to Beijing in advance, outside the magnificent and tall city gate in Kyoto, Zhan Wenyi was leading the ministers and hundreds of officials to stand outside the city gate, standing in a neat column.
After the guards all stopped their horses, the carriage where Sihan was sitting also stopped.
"The eldest princess, the emperor and the hundred officials are all standing outside the city gate." At this moment, a resolute and respectful voice raised slightly, these words entered the ear, Sihan opened her slightly tired and heavy eyes, was silent for a moment, and then reached out slightly to pull the curtain beside her, and then raised her eyes to look, only to see Zhan Wenyi, who was covered in official robes, stood outside her carriage at some point.
At this glance, the two happened to look at each other, Zhan Wenyi's eyes suddenly rose and fell violently, and in the deep shaking, a wave of excitement and relief that could not be concealed came to his eyes.
When Sihan was about to continue to look at his eyes, he lowered his eyes naturally, and bowed to Sihan very respectfully, and said with relief: "Weichen, welcome the eldest princess back to Beijing."
In a short sentence, it poured too much complexity and relief, and for a while, it exaggerated a little sensuality and inexplicable sadness, which added a few wisps of complexity and heaviness to the reunion after this catastrophe.
Sihan took his eyes off him slightly, was silent for a moment, and replied in a low voice: "These days, Donglin has Emperor Lao bothering."
Zhan Wenyi shook his head slowly, "As the emperor of Tanglin, Weichen should bother with Tanglin. He said it very politely, but as soon as he said this, he raised his eyes and glanced at Sihan, his expression moved slightly, and continued: "The eldest princess has been tired all the way, and Weichen asked the ministers to welcome the eldest princess back to the palace. For the rest of the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, Wechen let them stay in place first, and when the eldest princess rested, Wechen discussed with the eldest princess where these guards should be allocated. ”
These words are undoubtedly very popular with her.
There was a little satisfaction and distancing in her pupils, and then her lips opened, and she said in a low voice, "It's okay." It's just that these tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are finally my iron-blooded men in Dongling, and after the Emperor Fu ordered them to camp in place, he sent people to send them more food and bedding. ”
"Weichen takes the order, the eldest princess can rest assured."
Sihan nodded, and slowly lowered the hand holding the curtain, but after the curtain was lowered halfway, her expression changed, and she suddenly paused her hand to lift the curtain, and the conversation changed, "What about the emperor and the national teacher?" At this time, you and the ministers are here, what about the two of them? ”
Zhan Wenyi frowned slightly, his face was slightly distressed, and he said slowly: "The cold rain lasted two days ago, and it was not sunny until today, the emperor suffered from the cold in the palace two days ago, and now he has a high fever, and the national teacher has been accompanying him, so as to welcome the eldest princess in the future."
Is it?
Sihan's pupils shrank, "It's just a high fever, and there is a national teacher by his side, could it be that the emperor's high fever burned for a few days, and even the national teacher didn't immediately control the high fever?" ”
Zhan Wenyi nodded a little helplessly, "After the national teacher used acupuncture and medicine on the emperor, the emperor's high fever decreased slightly, but it was not completely recovered, yes, the eldest princess should not be too worried, Xu is the emperor will be able to recover completely after two or three days of good recuperation." ”
