Chapter 15: I think something should be done
The prince still drank the porridge calmly, and then said with a smile: "Sister came over in a hurry, I shouldn't have eaten it yet, right?" Would you like to enjoy it with Hongu? ”
"Still can't do it, I can't eat it in this East Palace, I feel like I'm on pins and needles."
The prince said, "Then sister, please, I'm a little hungry when I get up early in the morning, and I want to eat more." ”
The eldest princess looked around in the East Palace, and found many wooden carvings of women without carved cheeks, neatly placed on one side of the desk, she smiled slightly mockingly, "I don't know what you are fighting for, look, I am afraid of offending the crown princess, so that the prime minister will no longer support you, your dignified prince doesn't even dare to carve a thing on his face for fear of misunderstanding, this kind of life, is it interesting?" ”
"You don't have to worry about it."
The eldest princess saw that the prince's mood fluctuated a little, smiled, and added: "Let Bengong guess, the woman you carved must be someone you like or admire, and if you can like it, she must be a lady, and then ......"
The prince was stunned, and said very unceremoniously: "The palace has said, you don't need to worry about this, Chunhong, send it off!" ”
A man walked slowly outside the main hall and nodded towards the prince, "Oh! ”
Sure enough, it's greasy!
"Eldest princess, please come here!"
The eldest princess waved her sleeves, "I don't need you to urge, this palace knows the way, and I can't walk by myself?" ”
Leaving the village, the Great Xia delegation and his party began to hurry again, and half a month passed in an instant.
It's raining a lot in the past half month, and there is one every day or two, so the air is always a little humid.
Yan Gui fulfilled his promise and insisted on telling stories to his senior sister every night until she fell asleep.
Senior Sister Ye Qiu did not hesitate to repay her, gave him a copy of "The Essence of Sword Technique", and always guided his cultivation in the early morning.
During this period of getting along, Senior Sister Ye Qiu's straightforwardness impressed Yan Gui deeply, and she also admired it.
If you don't accept life and death, you will do it.
It's flat-headed.
Li Zhong treats their father and son very well, Yan Gui can see that he is sincere, Li Zhong is a nostalgic person, and he is also very grateful to repay his kindness, he is capable, and he always arranges everything in a timely manner, almost without leakage.
Even in neighboring countries, it takes two months to travel by carriage from Daqi Kyoto to Daxia Kyoto, so Yan Gui's father and son and Ye Qiu decided to ride their own horses in order not to delay the progress.
If you ride a horse, as the son of the eldest princess, Yan Gui has naturally been involved since childhood, and her equestrian skills are not bad.
As a result, the trip was shortened to a month and a half, which means that the mission had another month to travel.
The day passed in a hurry, and the night was seen, and at night, the surroundings were full of tranquility and peace, and there was no one on the path under the moonlight, only the shadows of the trees, the breeze blowing, the leaves swaying, and the shadows on the ground changed with various postures.
From a distance, you can still see faint lights, which appear and disappear from time to time, adding a bit of mystery.
Li Zhong had to make up his mind now, because it would still take two hours to go forward to the secluded pass, and it would be late at night, but he was afraid that he would be so tired that people would turn over on their backs, and if they wanted to rest on the spot, they would have to enter Qingping Town from the trail to find an inn to stay.
After thinking for a while, Li Zhong still chose Qingping Town, so the delegation changed the path and walked slowly.
The geographical location of Qingping Town is very special, because it is surrounded by mountains, four or five hills surround it, and there are trails only between the mountains, I have to say, this is very magical.
As soon as I entered Qingping Town, the wind swept through the gaps in the leaves, cool, soft, and very comfortable to blow on people.
The clear light of the moon flowed like water in the fields, and the thin light mist floated like a veil, and the surroundings were hazy, making people feel as if they had stepped into an illusory world.
There were unknown insects in the grass, singing softly, with a thin and slight sound, like a trilling sound from the ground.
Not far away, the lights of the farmhouse windows shine through the night, adding a bit of vivid color to this warm night.
The path winds its way underfoot, and the fields are filled with the scent of crops.
It's just that the crop is sprinkled with fine hay powder, which looks very special, Yan Gui got off the horse and pinched it with his nose and smelled it, and his heart was suddenly shocked, Ye Qiu was surprised to see Yan Gui on the side, but he didn't ask much.
As usual, Li Zhong asked for directions to find a place to live.
This time it was not as smooth as the last time, if it weren't for Yan Zichu taking out a few ingots of silver to curry favor with the townspeople, the mission would not even have a place to live.
As before, after tidying up the room and cleaning it, Yan Chu called his senior sister to come in and rest.
It's just that Ye Qiu didn't lie down or listen to the story told by his junior brother, but closed the door, sat on the wooden bench, bent out a beautiful arc, and stared at Yan Gui.
For some reason, the senior sister's posture was very sultry, but Yan Gui did not have evil thoughts, perhaps Ye Qiu's eyes were too clear, so that Yan Gui involuntarily suppressed the adolescent restlessness of his body.
"Senior sister is waiting for me to confess some discoveries?"
"Clever."
Yan Gui pursed his lips and said, "Then senior sister, I'll tell you a story first." ”
"Let's talk first."
"This has to start with this story."
Ye Qiu's blown-up face flushed in the candlelight, and there was curiosity in his eyes, "Then junior brother, you speak, I'll listen." ”
"More than a hundred years ago, the Great Qi army was extremely prosperous, and the Daimyo begged for mercy and signed some unequal covenants, and the wind of the main war in the country prevailed.
But at this time, there was news that the border pass had been repeatedly defeated and defeated, and the Emperor of Great Qi knew that there were spies in the country who had secretly conspired with the enemy country, and leaked some important military aircraft to the Daimyo, so he vigorously investigated.
Under everyone's own danger, he quickly found out, Emperor Daqi knew that the status of the spy was not low, otherwise he would not know so much about military aircraft, but he didn't expect that the spy was his favorite second prince.
The second prince knew that once he was caught, it would be impossible to escape if he didn't die, so he brazenly rebelled, and for a while, the country fell into civil strife.
Under the anger of the Great Qi Emperor, he handed over the military power to the prince, and the local army was also mobilized by him. ”
Ye Qiu frowned, "Why do I think this is like the history of the Great Qi Kingdom, does it have anything to do with this now?" ”
Yan Gui smiled with a smile, "Of course it's related, the second prince is King Zhao, and the villagers in Qingping Town are the descendants of King Zhao!" Although King Zhao was the most beloved son of the Emperor of Great Qi, he fornicated with the enemy country, caused civil strife, ruined the dream of all the people of the Great Qi Kingdom to go north, and committed a monstrous anger, and the Great Qi Emperor would not let him go. ”
"Descendants of King Zhao? Really? ”
Yan Gui smiled confidently, "The historical records in the Great Qi Palace are like fakes!" ”
"And then? What is hay powder in the field? ”
"Big grass! Eating a little makes people healthy, but eating too much will make people work tirelessly, and even lose energy, and become a short-lived ghost. ”
Ye Qiu's big eyes rolled, "According to what you say, Qingping Town is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and there are only small roads to pass through, so it is regarded by the government as a good place to imprison and suppress the descendants of King Yan, and returning the grass to the grass is an endless curse." ”
"How do you know?"
Ye Qiu pointed in the direction of the owner of the house and said: "I just chatted, I heard Grandma say that there are several ore veins in this Qingping Town, which are occupied by officers and soldiers, and the men in Qingping Town are working here in exchange for silver money and purchasing living necessities other than food from the government.
They couldn't go out of the town, the government called it a wild beast outside the mountains, and the big grass in the crops was sprinkled by the government, and they saw that the food produced had no direct harm to the body, and it would increase people's strength, so they didn't resist. ”
"Even if you find out that you will have a short life, you have not resisted?"
Ye Qiu smiled bitterly, "Is it useful?" ”
Yan Gui sighed, "How can you take revenge on future generations for the things of the previous generations?" I think I've got to do something. ”
