Chapter 67, Miao Sheng
The story of Jiang Jue, a young general who became famous in Quanguan, and Zhai Zhuang, the little overlord of Yingdu, spread all over Yingdu, and it was full of storms in the city. It is no secret that Jiang Jue first killed people in Jiangcheng and then became famous, and his reputation is not small. Yingdu Xiaobawang Zhai Zhuang is not a good person to get along with, after all, one person can make Yingdu so noisy that even the King of Chu is too lazy to care.
Jiang Jue was like a nobody, living in Miao Sheng's house in peace as usual, he was still an idiot when the mother of the Lu family was there, but he didn't tease Miao Miao much, but he had a headache.
Miao Miao had already accepted the fact that her grandfather and the King of Chu gave her marriage to Jiang Jue, so although she was still shy, she didn't hide it, and even asked for warmth. Jiang Jue had to be tired of dealing with Miao Miao's kindness and appeasement of Jing Qijun, and the whole person was miserable.
Qi Guanzhuang couldn't bear to be in this Miao Sheng's mansion all day long, so he went out for a stroll when he was idle, although there was always a tail behind him that could not be shaken off, but it did not prevent him from visiting Yingdu.
"Childe," Qi Guanzhuang said in a low voice after wandering around the house, closing the door, "Guess who I met outside?" ”
"Your old friend?" Jiang Jue is still thinking about how to escape from Yingdu, tomorrow is the three-day period, and he has no clue yet.
Qi Guanzhuang shook his head and said, "I met Gu Yu outside today, and I was escorted by the Chu army. ”
"Gu Yu? Didn't she go back to Bayang? Jiang Jue asked.
Jiang Jue was reluctant to be a dark horse that day, so he had to part ways with the Lu caravan. The three of them went overland and then intervened in the dispute between the Chu army and Qi Min, while Gu Yu led the Lu caravan upstream.
"I guess it was Gu Yu who revealed his whereabouts," Qi Guanzhuang said delicately, "That woman just deliberately separated from us and then came to Yingdu to report the news." ”
Jiang Jue shook his head and said, "If it's really her, I'm afraid we won't be able to go back in Qianzhong." ”
Jiang Jue still believed that what Qin Mengting said was that the mustard seed intended to get rid of himself, so he reported to the Chu people. It's not that he trusts Gu Yu, but that Gu Yu has no motive to betray herself at all, she just wants to carry forward the Lu family's caravan. Besides, Gu Yu came to Qianzhong just to sell salt, and as for not bringing superfluous knights because she was afraid of leaking the news, what she valued was her own strength and Jiang Hou behind her.
"Then why did she appear in Yingdu and still be with Chu Jun?" Qi Guanzhuang asked. Qi Guanzhuang has experienced deception and betrayal, and he has long been extremely disappointed in people's hearts, so he insisted that Gu Yu had leaked the news.
Jing Qijun said: "It is estimated that he was intercepted by the Chu army on the waterway, after all, selling salt is a big crime." ”
"Let's not talk about Gu Yu, let's talk about tomorrow's plan." Jiang Jue was already at a loss, but now that the three of them are together, they can discuss countermeasures.
"What I mean is that I pretend to be defeated by Zhai Zhuang," Jiang Jue said, "In this way, Xiong Ran will naturally withdraw the marriage." Jiang Jue said his plan.
"What if Xiong Ran takes back the marriage?" Jing Qijun said, "Xiong Ran's original intention was to leave you in Yingdu, and then go to blackmail Jiang Hou. ”
"Official, you always have an idea, tell me about it?" Jiang Jue cast a hopeful gaze towards Qi Guanzhuang. Qi Guanzhuang is not only delicate but also well-informed, maybe there is something good to deal with.
"Childe, I'm afraid that after the battle, Xiong Ran can't wait to exchange you for Jiang Hou," Qi Guanzhuang said, "Count the days, the news of Gongzi's arrival in Yingdu should also spread to the Pakistani side." ”
"And what do you say?" Jiang Jue asked.
"Childe, I said you don't want to scold me," Qi Guanzhuang said, "I think it's better to take Miao Sheng out of the city directly, it's not easy to get out of the city." I don't go out every day to wander, but to investigate the terrain, this Miao Sheng's mansion and royal palace are in the inner city, and the martial arts field is in the outer Guo. When the martial arts field is about to fight, we will directly hold Miao Sheng hostage, and I don't believe that Xiong Ran is willing to take Miao Sheng, a saint. ”
"He's willing." Jing Qijun said, "Otherwise, how can Xiong Ran rest assured that the three of you and I will live in the Miao Sheng Mansion?" In the past few days, it can be seen that the temples of Chu State are not harmonious, and the temple dispute between Muer and Miao Sheng, Xiong Ran is obviously biased towards Muer. ”
Jiang Jue nodded, after all, Miao Sheng was already a person buried in the loess to his neck, with neither heirs nor apprentices, just a granddaughter who was picked up, his value had been squeezed out.
"It's better to be like this," Jiang Jue said, "You two will find a chance to get out of the city tomorrow, and then I will find a chance to come out and make peace with you." ”
"What nonsense is Gongzi talking about," Qi Guanzhuang said dissatisfiedly, "Let's not talk about how many soldiers and warriors there are in the huge Yingdu, I'm afraid that Gongzi won't recognize the road alone, how can he escape?" I'll accompany my son. ”
"There's no way I'm going to go out alone." Jing Qijun took Jiang Jue's hand and said.
Jiang Jue sighed and said, "It's all my fault for burdening you." ”
"I, Qi Guanzhuang's life is Gongzi's, if it weren't for the protection of Gongzi, I'm afraid I would have been cut down as a grass bandit," Qi Guanzhuang said, "I have seen too many scenery these days, and I have seen many big people, and I have lived a much more enjoyable life than I have lived in the previous 20 years, and my Qi Guanzhuang is enough." ”
"I'm your woman." Jing Qijun also revealed his heart.
"I'm going to die." Jiang Jue said seriously.
"Then win that Zhai Zhuang and marry Miao Miao." Jing Qijun said ruthlessly.
"Little general, the national teacher is here." Miao Miao shouted outside.
The three of them came out in a hurry, and they all bowed their hands to Muer.
"The matter of your war with Zhai Zhuang has been postponed," Mu Er said, "Tomorrow the king will enshrine Miao Miao as a son-in-law in the palace, and I will send someone to greet him tomorrow morning." ”
After the words were finished, Mu Er left, leaving the three of them looking at each other with sad faces like eating Coptis chinensis, leaving Miao Miao blushing like a March cherry, and leaving Miao Sheng silent and speechless like a straw man.
"Miao'er. Prepare some snacks and dishes, and I'll talk to Gongzi for a while," Miao Sheng instructed, and then said to Jing Qijun, "I'm sorry for you to help, Miao'er is clumsy, please take care of it more in the future." ”
Jing Qijun was reluctant but still went, it was difficult to escape from Yingdu, and only by winning Zhai Zhuang and marrying Miao Miao could he have any hope of survival. She naturally likes that her man is a big hero, and he can ride alone like Jiang Hou to break into Phoenix; She didn't want to share the feelings with anyone. But the hardest time is not that it is difficult to choose, but that there is no choice at all, such as now.
So Jing Qijun had no choice but to agree to Miao Sheng to get along with Miao Miao, which was equivalent to admitting in disguise that she was willing to share Jiang Jue with Miao Miao.
"There is no wine at home, so I bother the strong man to sell some wine," Miao Sheng took out the money and handed it to Qi Guanzhuang, and said, "The wine in the house that turns left when you go out is not very good, please take a more detour to the west gate of the city." ”
Miao Sheng quietly took the two away, led Jiang Jue into the house and said, "Childe, you tell me what you think." ”
"What do you have any thoughts, it is an honor to be appreciated by the King of Chu, and it is also an honor to be favored by Miao Sheng." Jiang Jue said. He didn't know what Miao Sheng was thinking, so he could only be perfunctory.
"Childe has deceived the old man again," Miao Sheng said, "In fact, if Gongzi hadn't intervened, Miao'er would have either married Zhai Zhuang or Qin Mengting." Compared with Qin Mengting, Lao Yu admires Zhai Zhuang, and the young man should be casual and not thoughtful. Childe's mind is no shallower than Qin Mengting's. ”
Jiang Jue no longer hid in front of Miao Sheng, he said: "Miao Sheng thinks that the kid is too heavy-minded? Boy, this is also a helpless move. ”
"I'm not talking about this," Miao Sheng said with a smile, "Childe's affairs are also known to the elderly, Childe reads the Six Arts Sutra every day, right?" Gongzi had saved hundreds of thousands of Li people in Huoquan Pass before, and he was full of admiration. Childe's ambition is more subtle, he not only wants to shoulder the word morality, but also wants to pick up Li Min. The young man's shoulders are too immature and his hands are small, how can he pick up the word morality, and how can he afford to hold up all sentient beings? ”
Jiang Jue glanced at the old man in front of him, the old man who lived to be seventy years old without losing money, although he spent most of his life tinkering in the paddy fields, but how could he have seen what a young man like Jiang Jue could match? The fact that he saved hundreds of thousands of Qi people in Huoquan Pass does not need to be explained, and everyone can see it, but just from the Six Arts Sutra, it can be seen that he wants to shoulder morality, how sharp is his vision?
"The kid just likes to read and write, where dare he say that he wants to pick up the word morality." Jiang Jue replied.
"Childe still refuses to tell the truth," Miao Sheng said, "Do you know Shi and Zhao Miao?" ”
Jiang Jue was shocked, could it be that these two people had been captured by the Chu people, so Miao Sheng was probing his own details? He naturally refused to admit that he knew the two, and he didn't have much friendship. So he shook his head, saying he didn't know.
"Do you know the saint Xuanlang? Or is it Da Li Taifu Langxuan? Miao Sheng asked again.
"Yes." Jiang Jue replied.
"Just heard?" Miao Sheng asked.
Jiang Jue nodded, he was a little surprised why Miao Sheng knew the fact that Xuan Lang was Lang Xuan, but he was not sure about Miao Sheng's attitude, so he didn't dare to mess with the relationship.
"Childe is still deceiving the old man," Miao Sheng said, "The old man is no longer playing dumb riddles with the child, the old man was just an ordinary farmer in Daze to select good seeds, and then I was fortunate to meet Lord Lang, Lord Lang instructed me not only to think about things in the field, but also to worry about things on the ground." Nature in the field is a matter of agriculture, and what is on the ground is a matter of the world. Later, the old man was fortunate to realize the Tao in the field, so that he could walk to this Yingdu temple. Lao Yu has already seen Zhao Miao and Shishi, and the identity of the son is not simple, so the son just talks about his thoughts, and the old man naturally supports it. ”
Jiang Jue breathed a sigh of relief, he still didn't dare to believe it, so he said: "What does the kid have any thoughts, no matter what his origins, it is a blessing to be able to climb the big man of Miao Sheng." ”
"The old man is open and honest, and the son is still hiding it, so it's not like it," Miao Sheng said, "Qi Guanzhuang won't come back this time, don't worry, the old man will naturally keep him safe and sound, and your wife, if you are willing to go out of the city, you should do your best." ”
"What if the kid wants to get out of the city?" Jiang Jue asked tentatively.
"The old man doesn't dare to say that he can keep his son out of the city, but he can ensure that his son is safe and sound." Miao Sheng said.
Jiang Jue almost believed in the ninth layer, but he didn't dare to believe it all, after all, entrusting his life to others was an extremely stupid act.
"If the prince doesn't believe it, you can send her out of the city today," Miao Sheng swore an oath, "The old man guarantees with his life, if he can't get out of the city, the son can raise a sword and kill the old man." ”
"Okay." Jiang Jue nodded, he had planned to let the two of them go out of the city first, and then find a chance to escape by himself, after all, Jing Qijun and Qi Guanzhuang's force was still a little lacking, and sometimes one more person was not an extra strength, but a little more burdensome.
"Miao'er." Miao Sheng went out and shouted.
Miao Miao came over and asked, "Grandpa, the appetizers haven't been cooked yet, what's the matter?" ”
"There's no need to toss," Miao Sheng said, "Qi Guanzhuang may not know the way, you and Qi Jun go and look for it." ”
Miao Miao brought two side dishes, and then went out with Jing Qijun.
Miao Sheng said: "Naturally, there are people at the West City Gate to answer, and the prince is not in a hurry, if the King of Chu asks, there will naturally be old people to deal with." ”
Miao Miao really came back alone, she said: "Grandpa, I have seen the national teacher, and the king should come." ”
"Miao'er, you and Gongzi will be more affectionate, don't be ashamed." Miao Sheng said.
In less than half an hour, the king of Chu and Mu Er came, and the rechen was naturally there. Mu Er asked, "I saw Miao Miao and Jing Qijun leaving together before, why did they come back alone?" And what about the reckless man? ”
Miao Sheng arched his hand and said to the king of Chu: "Your Majesty, how can the granddaughter of the old minister say that she will serve a husband with others, so the old minister scattered some money and let the two leave. ”
Miao Miao walked out of the house with Jiang Jue in her arms and saluted the King of Chu. Jiang Jue still looked stupid and stupid, a daughter-in-law, so ashamed that Miao Miao couldn't raise her head.
"Well, that's the case," Xiong Ran said, "Let's get engaged tomorrow first, and then move to the palace, after all, Miao'er is also my daughter now." ”
After Xiong Ran left, Jiang Jue breathed a sigh of relief, it's okay, as long as Xiong Ran doesn't order to chase and kill.
"Thank you Miao Sheng." Jiang Jue said to Miao Sheng. Now that Jing Qijun and Qi Guanzhuang are not there, he has no worries, he will only get engaged tomorrow, I am afraid that the marriage will be long, Jiang Jue will not believe that Xiong Ran is still staring at him all the time.
Miao Sheng said: "Don't act rashly in the near future, I'm afraid the king will watch it tightly now." Miao Sheng instructed.
Jiang Jue nodded and said, "That's natural, the kid took the liberty to ask who Miao Sheng asked to send my wife and the official out of the city?" ”
"It's the two people on the mountain," Miao Sheng said, "Naturally, they will come back, so Gongzi can rest assured." ”
Jiang Jue sighed, not only owed Miao Sheng a favor, but also owed Xuan Lang an adult please. He has never liked to owe favors to others, after all, he will have to pay it back one day when he walks away.
"Tomorrow, if you are engaged, you will get engaged, if the son likes Miao'er, you can treat it well in the future, if you don't like it, it doesn't matter." Miao Sheng left with a word, leaving Jiang Jue incomprehensible.
Listening to what Miao Sheng said, Xuan Lang just pointed out, as for letting Miao Sheng treat himself like this? Jiang Jue felt that things were not so simple.
