Chapter 183
Unexpectedly, these shoes are really the embroidered shoes of the princess who has been missing for nearly three months.
Yuan Lie quietly looked at the pair of embroidered gold peony and white satin embroidered shoes on the tray, and he didn't know what he was thinking, and no one could see the expression under his mask, but everyone knew that at this time, even breathing couldn't make any sound.
After watching it for half an hour, Yuan Lie said with a little hoarseness: "Take it down and put it away." ”
"Yes." Qingfeng picked up the tray and asked softly, "Lord Wang, can you still use the villain to look for it in the east?" ”
After being silent for a long time, Yuan Lie waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "No need. The faint candlelight shone on his silver mask, and let it
In the entire Lanhai Kingdom, he had searched for it many times, but such a big living person, as if it had turned into air, completely dissipated in this world, and never disappeared without a trace.
In addition to the power of the Yi Palace, the Imperial Palace and the Prime Minister's Mansion all participated in the search, and a large number of manpower and material resources were invested in it, but they finally sank into the sea and found nothing.
But Yuan Lie never believed that Mo Jin was dead, during this time, the secret guards had found all kinds of clothes or accessories of Mo Jin from all over the world, and if the people who captive her really wanted to take her life, they would never go to such great lengths to confuse the eyes.
"Lord Qi, the western border came to report, last month Urhan wanted to marry the queen, but in the end it was not done, it is said that the woman did not want to enter the palace as the queen, and finally died in the sandstorm." The dark guard reported the information to Yuan Yeol one by one.
Woman? Yuan Lie frowned, "Do you know the identity of that woman?" ”
"Back to the prince, after verification by the dark department, the woman is the righteous daughter of the national teacher of the Great Wu Kingdom, nineteen years old, she did die last month, and the body was also found in the desert, and was buried in the royal mausoleum of the Great Wu Kingdom."
Yuan Lie's brows became tighter and tighter, and in the end, he still sighed slowly and said, "Got it, go down." ”
It is false to say that there is no suspicion, but Dawu has always been the focus of surveillance, and it is heavily guarded along the road, and it is impossible for gangsters to escape with their wings, not to mention that there is also a woman with him, Yuan Lie finally vetoed this fleeting idea.
Even if there is the most powerful intelligence network, Yuan Lie would not have thought that in order to clear the suspicion and not lead the disaster to the Great Wu Country, the scheming national teacher of the Great Wu Country really ordered someone to kill his adopted daughter, and then threw the corpse into the desert, creating all kinds of confusing illusions, so that Yuan Lie missed this opportunity to find Mo Jin.
I said goodbye to each other in a few years, of course, this is all a later story.
The spring is sunny and everything is recovering. As soon as the emperor decreed the holy decree, he finally summoned Wang Ye, who had not come to the court for many days, into the palace.
It is impossible to scold, the emperor and his old man are not going to really offend the power of King Yi for the sake of not going to the court, after all, looking at the government and the opposition, only Yuan Lie has the power to balance the Chu family.
This time he was summoned to the palace, firstly, to regulate his mood, at least on the surface. Second, Helian Bo, the leader of the most powerful tribe in the 36 tribes in the north, the Abutu tribe, with his daughter Helian Minmin and full of sincerity, came to bow down to the Lanhai Kingdom.
They hoped to get the support of the strong military force of the Lanhai State, so as to achieve the goal of unifying the 36 departments in the north and establishing the country.
Of course, once the establishment of the state is successful, the new state will always exist as a vassal state of the Lanhai State, and from then on the two countries will open a mutual market and pay tribute to the Lanhai State every year.
Emperors are ambitious. The biggest setback in the emperor's life was when Urhan went to war against Lanhai, but the war lasted only half a year before it ended, and everything returned to its original state.
He not only hopes that the country will be prosperous, but also longs to make contributions and expand the territory, so as to go down in history and be immortal.
Therefore, when the head of the Abutu tribe spoke his mind, the emperor's ambition to achieve hegemony could no longer be calmed.
But as the lord of a country, it is too cheap for him to personally greet a tribal leader, and it seems that he does not pay enough attention to sending the prince there.
There is another reason, and it is also the emperor's bad taste to watch the excitement and not think it is a big deal, he listened to the report of Honglu Siqing, the daughter of the leader of Abutu, coincidentally, there are so many points like the long-missing princess Yi.
As soon as he received the news, the emperor was happy, and he really couldn't wait to see the reaction of his lover brother.
"Lord Minmin, you must be careful."
"County Lord, come down."
"Yes, yes, if you fall, the slaves and maids will have good fruit to eat."
……
In the imperial garden, a group of eunuchs and palace maids surrounded a tall old tree, leaning their necks, and their tones were extremely nervous and worried, adding a little popularity to the usually quiet garden.
But this person's popularity sounded to Yuan Lie who was passing by, but it was very noisy.
Thinking of the news that the emperor had personally appointed the daughter of the head of the Abutu tribe as the county lord this morning, he frowned in disgust, and sure enough, it was a woman from the outer land, and she actually acted on the tree in public.
The emperor's personal eunuch didn't know if it was intentional, and continued to lead him under the big tree.
The eunuchs and palace maids who were worried under the tree before, when they saw Yuan Lie in purple robe and silver face, their faces turned white, and they quickly trembled and knelt together, just thinking about calling a thousand years old.
"Hey!" A crisp cry like a silver bell interrupted them, "Who are you, why didn't you salute when you saw the lord of this county?" ”
Yuan Lie didn't seem to hear anything, and continued to walk towards the imperial study without squinting.
"County Lord, you be quiet, this is my Lanhai Guoyi Prince." A palace maid reminded her in a low voice.
Helian Minmin's eyes widened instantly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, "Is that the prince who is called the Ghost King, who looks ugly but is very good at fighting?" ”
She grew up in the grassland like the stars and the moon since she was a child, without the constraints of etiquette and religion, and developed the biggest character of the great old man of the world.
But others didn't think so, and when they heard that she was so open-mouthed in front of King Yi, they were so frightened that they wanted to bury their heads in the ground, and they just begged the prince not to implicate them when he was mad.
But in Yuan Lie's eyes, this group of people is no different from a group of ants, and he doesn't bother to bother with a woman, as if it is a waste of time to look at him more.
Where has Helian Minmin been wronged like this, she rarely has curiosity about a person, but that person doesn't bird her, and she is instantly aggrieved.
No matter how noble this person's identity is, as soon as the delicate and willful comes up, the nine cows can't pull it.
She jumped from the tree and landed steadily in front of Wonyeol, blocking his progress. If it weren't for Yuan Lie's forcible restraint of wanting to slap himself to death, Helian Minmin estimated that Fang had already died.
The road was blocked, so he couldn't pretend not to see, Yuan Lie had to look at the woman in front of him coldly, just one glance, his eyes were as cold as a thousand years of ice that could not be dissolved, and there was an instant loosening.
This beautiful woman dressed in interracial service, with long hair mixed with ribbon braids, is actually one or two points similar to Mo Jin, especially a pair of eyes, like autumn water, which is a star falling in it, which makes people can't help but indulge in it.
The eyes are very similar, but they belong to the smart charm of Mo Jin, but the woman in front of him does not occupy a penny.
It was this moment of stunned stunned that was enough for Helian Minmin, who was good at kung fu, to take advantage of the loophole, she quickly raised her hand, grabbed Yuan Lie's silver mask, and took it off.
Her action completely angered Yuan Lie, and without hesitation, he slapped her away.
After spitting out a mouthful of blood, Helian Minmin tilted his head and fainted.
"Yuan Lie, you said you, hey!" The emperor flicked the sleeves of his dragon robe and accused: "That Helian Minmin is just a twenty-eight girl who doesn't know the world after all, you are a dignified prince, what do you want to be angry with a woman." ”
Yuan Lie picked up the teacup and drank the tea slowly, lifted his eyelids and glanced at the emperor coldly, this look seemed to see through everything.
The emperor closed his mouth in disdain, after all, he was the first to take care of this matter, and deliberately arranged for the two to meet by chance, but he didn't think that his younger brother would almost beat her new county lord in public.
"Forget it," the emperor waved his hand, and said helplessly: "Manager He, go and see if the county lord is awake, and then go to the Internal Affairs Office to pick out some things that women like, and say that King Yi apologized to the county lord." ”
"Yes, slave and maid." The chief eunuch received the decree and left the hall in a hurry.
Helianbo's heart was bitter.
He just came to take refuge in Lanhai Kingdom, but he never thought that on the first day he came, his pearl in his palm was beaten by King Yi. In the end, it was his daughter who didn't know how thick the sky was that angered the killing god, no matter how distressed he was, he didn't dare to attack.
But what made people even more angry was that as soon as the daughter opened her eyes, she blushed and said with a shy: "Abba, my daughter wants to marry that King Yi." ”
Is this a broken brain?
Helian Bo's brows furrowed into a deep Sichuan character, and he said with a sad face: "Minmin, drink the medicine first." ”
Helian Minmin pushed away the medicine bowl handed by the palace maid, their nomads were not as weak as those delicate women in Lanhai Kingdom!
"I don't care, I'm going to marry him, I'm going to be his princess, I don't have to marry him in this life!" Helian Minmin put his hands around his chest and lost his temper.
When I thought of that face that was more handsome than the gods, the most invincible girl who was arrogant and domineering every day, was like all the women in the world, revealing the shy and delicate posture of the youngest daughter.
"Little county lord, this is not up to you." Chief Manager He, who was allowed to enter the dormitory, rushed in with more than a dozen little eunuchs behind him, smiling with a happy face.
"See Prince Helian, see Lord Minmin."
"Why?" Helian Minmin asked in an unkind tone.
"Haven't you heard? The prince has a princess. After the salute, Manager He replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, and at the same time pointed to the gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin behind him, and said with a smile: "This is the prince who made a special trip to ask the slave to send you to apologize, you must accept it." ”
Helian Minmin didn't look at those jeweled luxury objects, but just raised his head arrogantly: "Anyway, his princess has been missing for so long, and nine times out of ten she is dead, the county lord can wait for him to marry again!" ”
At this time, Manager He didn't answer again, just smiled, ordered the eunuchs to put down the baby, and left in a hurry.
Helian Minmin has not been able to marry Yuan Lie as he wished since he left the capital, let alone marry, even if his wish to see each other again has not been realized, he did not go back to her to the palace, and was unceremoniously knocked out by many secret guards in the palace and sent back, but she was repeatedly defeated until she had to return.
When leaving, Helian Minmin ran outside the palace and let out cruel words, he would not marry Yuan Lie in this life, and then left gloomily.
Nangong Yu drank tea, raised his eyes and teased: "This county lord is really infatuated, how about Prince Yi, do you consider marrying a side concubine?" ”
"Get out."
Sure enough, as Tuya said, Mo Jin's belly grew at a speed visible to the naked eye in the fourth month of pregnancy, and she finally felt a little conscious of being a mother, walked steadily, stopped bouncing, began to avoid eating, and began to consciously eat some food that is good for the baby's development......
It is said that some pregnant women can spit out bile at a certain stage, but she is different, eating Ma Ma Xiang is very good, and there is no pressure from pregnant women at all.
It seems that this cub who is pregnant feels very sorry for her!
Tuya saw that she was either following her up the mountain to hunt and collect medicine all day long, or practicing medicine to heal and save people, and finally couldn't stand it anymore, and reminded: "Tuwan, shouldn't you prepare?" ”
"Ready? What preparation? Mo Jin, who was full, put down his chopsticks and looked at Tuya puzzled.
Tuya was speechless, "It's just to prepare items for the baby or something, such as clothes, these are all made by you, a grandmother!" This is a custom that has been passed down from generation to generation here, do you understand it? ”
"Huh?" Mo Jin looked at Grandma in a verifying manner, and when she nodded to herself kindly, she was instantly deflated, "But I don't know how to make clothes at all, and besides, I don't have any fabric." ”
"Don't worry about the fabric, I'll go to the city tomorrow to buy it for you."
"In the city?" Mo Jin's eyes instantly lit up with a longing light.
Seeing this, Tuya smiled evilly: "Hehe, don't think about it, we are riding early in the morning, and it will take a day to come back at the earliest, you can't bear it with a big belly." ”
"It's so far away...... Mo Jin was instantly deflated, touching his slightly bulging belly, and looking pitiful.
Tuya put her arm around her shoulders and comforted: "Don't pout, when you give birth to the baby, and then when the baby is older, I will take you with me." ”
Mo Jin wailed: "What year and month will it be......"
As he spoke, Tuno lifted the curtain and walked out, and after a while, he heard the sound of horses' hooves.
"This kid!" Tuya waved her hand and complained: "Since you came, you have been very happy, but the words have become less and less, like a piece of wood, how can it please you!" ”
Grandma glared at Tuya and scolded her for being open-mouthed.
"Ahem...... Ahem! Mo Jin almost choked on his own saliva, "Tuya, you know, I treat Tu Ye as a younger brother like you." ”
"I know, I know, but if your husband doesn't come looking for you, you're just waiting stupidly?"
Mo Jin smiled indifferently, "It's not waiting, I just think this kind of life is very good, I know how to heal, I can make money, I can raise my children, my husband or something, I really don't need it." ”
In just one month, Mo Jin has become the most respected doctor of Tuya and their ethnic group, and even other ethnic groups have invited her and Tuya to diagnose patients.
Everyone never asked her where she was from or why she had a big belly, and everyone was very kind to her, even taking extra care of her because she was pregnant.
At first, Mo Jin would be frustrated because she had dressed into a nomadic tribe, but after more than a month of getting along, she fell in love with the simplicity and warmth of the place.
When the sunset is full, Tuye returns from hunting and has a full harvest.
"Wow, you're too powerful, you can hit the snow fox!" Tuya carried the corpse of a snow fox with a shiny coat that pierced through the brain, and shouted excitedly, "The fur of this thing is the most suitable for making a big man, it is warm and good-looking, I want it!" ”
Xu was pregnant with a child, although he understood that this was a society of natural selection, and he also understood that they would starve to death if they didn't hunt, he still couldn't help but feel a little sad, and turned his head to the side, not daring to look.
Tu Ye snatched the fox from his sister's hand, and said a little unnaturally: "This is not for you, I want to fight myself!" ”
Tuya instantly understood, and looked at Mo Jin with a gossipy face: "I understand, I understand, really, Tuwan, you can take this fox skin, make a cloak or something for the child, this job should have been done by the father, but you don't have it, my brother will do it for you hahaha." ”
Mo Jin wanted to refuse, but after all, this was Tuye's heart, and she finally nodded, making a certain young man smile brightly.
"Woo~Woo~" Suddenly, a faint cry came from the blanket on the horse's back, Mo Jin and Tu Yaqi looked at Tu Ye together, and then he slapped his head and said, "I almost forgot!" ”
Then she walked quickly to the horse and pulled out a white - little milk dog from the coat on the horse's back?!
Mo Jin was instantly sprouted.
"I picked it up from the wolf's den, and the coat is so eye-catching that it is probably abandoned." Tu Ye grabbed the back of the wolf cub's neck and lifted it in front of the two of them with one hand.
It turned out to be a wolf cub, Mo Jingang stretched out his hands to hug them, and immediately retracted them.
Just kidding, that's a wolf, it's going to eat people!
"Do you want to raise it? You may not live long without raising it. Tu Ye asked, carrying the wolf cub.
He didn't tell a lie, the little wolf had been hungry for many days, and in addition to being frightened, he now looked dying, and he didn't want to care about it at the time, but after all, he was moved by compassion.
Of course, the most important thing is that he often sees Mo Jin's gentle eyes when he rescues a lamb or foal on weekdays, and guesses that she must like this kind of little animal, so he kicks it back.
"I don't raise it, I can't even support myself." Tuya waved her hand, turned around and left.
"That'...... I'll raise it, will it eat people when it grows up? Mo Jin stretched out his hand to the wolf cub in longing and fear.
"No," Tu Ye hooked the corners of his lips, "In the past, there were people in the tribe who raised wolf cubs for hunting, but later there were not many wolves in the mountains, so there was no one to raise them, as long as they were raised, they were very sincere to people." ”
