Chapter 228 Come to the banquet palace at night Only then do you know the true name of the lord of the country
Besides, on Du Yu's side, just when Wu Weiyi was in prison, Du Yu and the others had just entered Kolorum.
As a close minister of the lord and queen, Bi Mo is free to travel freely in the territory of Wangji. Therefore, everyone rushed all the way to the post house in the east of the city to rest.
Bi Mo settled Du Yu and the others properly, and returned to the palace first.
A capital built by Kolo Lum after he conquered the great territory of Hithamki. At that time, Hita Muji was in the prime of life, and he built the capital in the center of Yelang, and built a large number of buildings, and Kolo Lumu became one of the four major cities of Baipu.
The inside and outside of this city are heavily guarded, known as the strict system of nine camps and eighteen cards, Du Yu and his party should have some experience, if it were not for Bi Mo to accompany them, they would not enter the city so easily.
Everyone was about to rest, and it was already completely dark. Du Yu stood in front of the window, looking at the direction of Quzhai from afar, always restless and uneasy? Seeing that her sister was so anxious, Yang Asha came to Du Yu's side and asked her in a low voice:
"Sister, the night is cold and dewy, why didn't my sister rest earlier? Isn't it...... Sister is still worried about Mr. Wu? ”
Du Yu was recalled by Asha's words, although his heart was uncertain, but he still said with a smile on his face:
"Oh, sister don't worry, sister...... My sister is out of the way. ”
Yang Asha knew that if it weren't for his quick words that day, Mr. Wu would not have put himself in danger. Therefore, she pursed her lips a little embarrassedly and said:
"The matter...... It's just that Asha was too willful at the time, and she came up with such a bad idea. Otherwise, Mr. Wu wouldn't have been in danger alone......"
After hearing this, Du Yu smiled lightly with Yang Asha, touched the top of her head, and shook his head with her and said:
"What does this have to do with you? Speaking of which, Asha's sister was also affected, so how can she blame her sister? As for the assassination, it was actually carefully considered by Mr. Wu and Bi Mo. They will never act impulsively and recklessly because of what you say. Therefore, even if my sister doesn't mention it, they will naturally think of it. My sister doesn't have to worry about guilt. ”
When Yang Asha heard this, she only felt that her heart was sour. Only being Sister Du Yu was actually deliberately covering up, and Asha was even more sad in her heart. But in order not to make Du Yu more sad, Yang Asha forcibly pretended to be a child, shook it a few times, and said:
"Huh?! Sister Yu'er, why don't we go out for a walk. When I entered the city, I walked in a hurry, and I didn't see the city clearly. Since she was a child, Asha had heard that Kolo was one of the four major cities in Baipu, and its night market was also very colorful! Why don't we go and see it? ”
When Du Yu heard this, he also knew Yang Asha's kindness, but he just smiled and said:
"No, now Bi Mo has entered the palace. Although it is getting late at this moment, the lord of the kingdom may summon us at any time, and if someone is sent and we cannot be found, wouldn't it be a bad thing? According to my sister, it's better not to make extraneous branches. ”
Yang Asha was a little disappointed, but it was too boring to be confined here all the time. So, Yang Asha wanted to find Mo Zhai again, but along the way, the two did not reconcile. Yang Asha is arrogant, and she will not take the initiative to find Mo Zhai to admit her mistakes.
At this moment, I could only hear the waiter waiting outside the post house suddenly summoning to the house:
"Excuse me, which one is Princess Nishikori?"
When Du Yu heard this summons, he went straight to open the door, and said to the waiter outside the house:
"This palace is!"
I heard the waiter bow down again and say:
"Her Royal Highness the princess, someone from the palace said that there is something to find the princess......"
Du Yu looked outside the hall for a while, and nodded slightly:
"It's hard work...... I'll go out and have a look. ”
So, Du Yu and Yang Asha came to the front hall of the post station again, only to see two dignified palace maids walking towards her and bowing their heads, and one of them actually said in a servant language:
"When Rida Muji heard that the princess of Shu was coming, he was very happy, and gave him five brocade weaving horses, twenty shells, a pair of jade, and three sets of various utensils. to show his dignity ......"
After Du Yu heard this, he immediately made a Shu salute and thanked the palace maid:
"Thank you for your kindness!"
I saw that the palace man turned around, and with a wave of his hand, he ordered the servants behind him to carry everything into the palace.
"Her Royal Highness doesn't have to be so polite...... Oh, by the way, Princess Hita Mukichi is here, and she is very happy. specially set up a banquet in the palace to invite the princess to catch the wind and wash the dust. And take special care of it, be sure to invite Princess Nishikori, General Xu and everyone to the banquet together. ”
Due to Yang Asha's special identity and the fact that he is a Gu King, it is not suitable to be exposed, so he deliberately avoided it in the list. Otherwise, as the daughter of the witch master of the Yu clan, she should naturally be among the banquets, but fortunately, Yang Asha didn't care about this, but asked in a whisper in Du Yu's ear with some curiosity:
"Huh?! How strange! Do the people here call their lords by their first names? Isn't that too dignified?! ”
Du Yu glanced at Yang Asha with slight disgust, and now it was obviously inappropriate to discuss this issue in front of the Yelang Palace Maiden.
Seeing this, Yang Asha only stuck out her tongue, and then pouted and said:
"Asha is just curious!"
Du Yu smiled slightly awkwardly, and said:
"Please also ask the two of you to wait a while, and the palace will order someone to summon General Xu to come. In addition, let the two of us change our clothes again and meet the lord of the country, so as not to lose our courtesy. ”
After hearing this, the palace maid bowed down and replied:
"Princess, please."
Du Yu ordered someone to go to the post station, found Xuyu and explained the reason. When he heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. For the prestige of King Yelang, Yu Baipu can be said to be well known, and Xuyuzi is no exception. It's just that if you want to see her like this, it's really difficult to see him.
Therefore, if he can really appreciate the majesty of the lord with his own eyes, it will indeed be enough to satisfy him when he comes to Kololum. Therefore, while he was happy, he also sped up his hands and feet, and picked up his appearance.
And Du Yu and Yang Asha also returned to the room, and each changed into a gorgeous dress. During this period, Du Yu explained the question that Yang Asha asked just now:
"That 'Hita Muji' is not the king's real name, but the honorific title of this place, which means the person who bathes the world day and the day, and the grace of the night!"
Yang Asha listened and nodded again and again. But she could answer the question, and then she asked again:
"That'...... Can Hita Muji have a real name? ”
Du Yu hesitated for a moment and said:
"There is oneself, the old lord of the country is named Wu Yina. However, you still need to obey your duty when you meet the lord of the country, and don't call him by name! ”
As they spoke, the two of them finished dressing and opened the door.
The four of them went out of the post house, and there were already a few carriages outside the post house, only to see that Du Yu was riding in a five-horse carriage, which really surprised her.
"The princes drive five, how can this palace be able to sit here?! And remove another one. ”
Even if the princess said, how dare the honor guard of the convoy be disobedient? So, he hastened to remove the princess's chariot from the horse.
After the princess sat down, everyone also got into the car under the guidance of the two palace people, and within a while, they were already outside the palace.
The four of them got out of the car, and Yang Asha looked up at the city wall and the thick giant gate, and couldn't help but sigh:
"I thought that Jilan and Zhu Ti were already the pinnacle of the city, but I never thought that this place would be even more amazing!"
Du Yu smiled slightly, shook his head with her and said:
"Hehe, my sister doesn't have to make such a fuss, my sister's Shu Zhipiyi is not inferior to it! In the future, my sister will take you there to have a look, okay? ”
When Yang Asha heard this, she couldn't help but say excitedly:
"Yes, yes! Asha is going to go with her sister! ”
But at this time, Du Yu suddenly thought of many past events in Shu Kingdom, and couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart......
Escorted by several palace guards, the four were ushered into a large hall on the side. This is not a place for discussion, but for the purpose of setting up banquets for foreign guests.
I saw that the inside of it was lit with candles, and the officials and maids were busy raising cases and entering the hall. There is a set of chimes next to it, and two musicians are striking, making bursts of crisp and pleasant Shu sounds.
Du Yu got on the seat of the host and guest, and Yang Asha, Xu Yu and Mo Zhai sat down on both sides in turn, and after a while, two more people entered the side door.
I saw a man and a woman, the man was in his seventies, about the same age as Jugu Luxury, but his eyes were cloudy and blank. The pace is sluggish and the mental condition is extremely poor. Although the woman had the folds of her forties, she did not look old because the whole was very light and well-proportioned. There was also a hint of stubbornness inadvertently between his eyebrows, which was somewhat similar to Yang Asha.
And this woman is none other than Madame Timber! She sat down with King Wu Yina in her arms, and she sat beside her.
When Du Yu and the others saw the lord of the country, Rida Muji, they immediately got up and saluted:
"Hita Muki is healthy!"
Madame Tianji's gaze wandered over everyone, and when she saw Xuyu, she was obviously stunned, and finally put her eyes on Yang Asha, and said with a smile:
"You don't have to be polite, Hita Muki is not feeling well, so you should not say much, just sit down and enjoy it...... Your Royal Highness the Princess, Shu is the land of abundance, no poorer and remote than us, if Xiaojun still has a place to be lazy, please forgive the princess. ”
After Du Yu sat down, he bowed sideways and replied:
"All is well, thank you Madame for your concern."
Although Yang Asha saw Mrs. Tianji for the first time, for some reason, she immediately felt a sense of closeness:
"You...... Are you Madame Timber? ”
Mrs. Tianji saw that Yang Asha looked so smart, and there was a slight tone of voice in her words. At a glance, it was clear that it must be the daughter of the You Nu mentioned by Bi Mo - Yang Asha.
But at this feast, there are many people, and if you talk about it, it will inevitably reveal your identity. Therefore, he just smiled with her and gestured:
"It's Xiaojun, you don't have to be polite, and eat first, if you have anything to say, you can move to the back room to talk about it in detail after dinner."
Yang Asha listened, she was full of questions to say. But Du Yu gently pulled his sleeve and whispered from the side:
"Sister! Let's eat first......"
