Chapter 163: Gentle Tug of War (1)
Xiao Bu will say calmly; "Alas, as far as the content on this bark scroll is concerned, we are wrong to blame Princess Jingyin, the content on it is still relatively objective and fair, Yelang people can accept it, I think, General Zhuang, after you read it, you can also accept it."
Zhuang Ji listened to Xiao Bu's words, but he didn't have time to read it at this time, so he said: "I want to hear what he said about what is beneficial to us." β
Xiao Bu thought for a moment and repeated to Zhuang Ji: "The general principle written on the bark scroll is that Yelang Kingdom will no longer prevent the Chu army from passing through here, and actively cooperate with the Chu army to provide the Chu army with materials within its ability. Terms like these are extremely friendly and beneficial to us. β
After hearing this, Zhuang Ji said with some remorse: "Oh, no wonder Princess Jingyin is cold, it turns out that she has done so much work for us silently, not only do we not affirm that she is grateful to her, but always have a skeptical attitude towards her, we should really reflect." β
Xiao Bu proposed: "General Zhuang, I'll go and invite Princess Jingyin to come, you apologize to her in person, and then ask Aunt Ah Cai to get a few dishes for her to eat, how about it?" β
Zhuang Ji waved his hand and said, "I have no opinion, but she won't accept it." I kept her just now, but she ruthlessly rejected her. Alas, it's all my fault for being too biased. β
Li Wu interjected: "Then I'll call Gou Han to please go, the princess will definitely listen to him." β
Xiao Bu said questioningly; "Our top leader pleases, she doesn't listen, Gou Han is the least valuable one in our army, will she listen to him?"
Zhuang Ji corrected: "You are wrong on this, Gou Han is not the lowest in our Chu army, he is higher than my position." β
Li Wu explained: "This question is not a matter of position, Gou Han is the chief planner for us and the princess to escape from the palace, and the princess still listens to him. β
Xiao Bu agreed: "Okay, then let Gou Han try." β
Gou Han took a few soldiers and a bamboo sedan chair directly to the Bamboo King's Mansion. It's a very different place, there are no more heavily fortified guards, and there are no spies everywhere. Only a few servants were still doing their jobs as usual, keeping the palace compound clean.
Gou Han knocked on Princess Jingyin's current living room, and after she opened it, she said in surprise: "Gou Han? It's really you, how did you find it? I didn't tell you when I left. β
The dog said triumphantly: "Where does the princess go, he has never deliberately hidden me, has he?" Why can't I find it? β
Princess Jingyin smiled with satisfaction and said to the dog: "You sit, I'll make you tea." β
Gou Han hurriedly stopped and said: "How dare Gou Han ask the princess to make tea herself, you're welcome, now in this situation, why doesn't the princess go back to the barracks to live?" β
Princess Jingyin said slyly: "This is a secret, and it can't be told." β
Gou Han said casually: "If you don't tell me, I'll tell you something, Gou Han doesn't know if the princess wants to hear it?" β
Princess Jingyin guessed: "Don't say what medicine you got for me, I'm normal, I'm not sick at all." β
Gou Han said self-deprecatingly: "Let the princess laugh, Gou Han has no other skills, just know how to order herbs, dog skin plasters or something." However, I really didn't come today for the sake of herbs. β
"And what else do you do?" Princess Jingyin guessed, "Got something delicious?" β
Gou Han said affirmatively: "Even if you are right, let's go, let's go eat together, maybe it has been cooked at this time." β
Princess Jingyin immediately changed her face and said, "If you really got it, I will definitely eat it, but if you lie to me, you are good-looking." β
Gou Han agreed: "Okay, if I deceive the princess, let the princess punish me." When he saw that Jing Yin had already gotten up, he said, "If the princess has anything to bring, Gou Han will take it." β
Princess Jingyin simply cleaned up the room and went out with the dog.
In order to make Princess Jingyin's food more delicious, Ah Cai spent a lot of time on the recipe, especially consulted Yelang's chef, and cooked the famous local sour soup fish.
As a native of Chu, she has a soft spot for fish, so Princess Jingyin ate very happily and never mentioned that Gou Han lied to her.
Zhuang Ji saw that Princess Jingyin was eating happily, so he dared to say the first sentence: "Jingyin, you eat more." β
Xiaobu and other people who accompanied him said; "Yes, the princess eats more."
Princess Jingyin responded coldly, "Thank you." β
Zhuang Ji said frankly: "Actually, I'm sorry for you, sometimes, we all misunderstand you, please forgive me." After reading the matter of the bark roll, Xiao Bu said to me, we decided to do what you talked about with Yelang, and asked you to contact Yelang again. β
Jing Yin put down her chopsticks and said: "It's too late to agree now, the Yelang Fang said that Chu Jun is not sincere, and he treats people's kindness as malice, I'm afraid I won't be able to talk about it anymore." β
Xiao Bu saw that Zhuang Ji and Princess Jingyin had become very rusty, and it really reached the point where he didn't speculate for more than half a sentence, so he interjected and said: "Although we are lazy, King Yelang can't figure it out, which is understandable." But I still have to ask the princess to worry a lot so that we can continue to make a difference. β
Princess Jingyin said coldly: "Hmph, if you want me to worry about you, who will worry about me?" If people are too selfish, they will eventually taste the bitter fruit. β
Wu Shixun simply sat down, knelt down in front of Jing Yin and said: "Don't be angry, princess, the incident two days ago, because General Zhuang and General Xiaozuo were transferred without a trace, and there was no general in the army, it was all because Wu Shixun didn't understand it and disrupted the princess's plan......"
Without waiting for Wu Shixun to finish speaking, Princess Jingyin kicked him away and said, "Go, go, what kind of thing do you look at yourself in the footprint water?" Dare to say in front of me that you are the boss of the Chu army? It's really unbelievable. Then she stood up and was about to go out.
Zhuang Ji hurriedly got up and chased out.
Xiao Bu pulled Wu Shixun up and said: "Don't care, anyway, she wants to be angry, she can be regarded as finding you, in order to have a turnaround, endure it." β
Wu Shixun got up, patted his pants and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine." β
Xiaobu asked with concern, "You haven't eaten yet, have you?" I'll accompany you to eat another bowl, otherwise, how can you do it? β
Wu Shixun said with a smile: "Just eat, anyway, she is a princess, I am a villain, we can't control if she wants to fight and scold, but if you eat more, you still have to rely on yourself." β
Zhuang Ji invited Princess Jingyin to the office, and she reluctantly agreed. Zhuang Ji thought that as long as she didn't refuse, there might be a drama in the future. At this time, the person who dealt with Jing Yin the most was in a predicament, and he didn't know how to communicate with this princess to get her tolerance.
Instead, Jing Yin spoke first: "Say, what's the matter with me?" β
Zhuang Ji didn't expect this, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
Gou Han carried a blue mountain wild fruit into Zhuang Ji's office, and when he saw Jing Yin sitting, he said; "Oh, the princess is really blessed, this is Cai Sandi just picked on the mountain, kiwifruit, said to be the best fruit here, eat to quench your thirst, not to mention, but also to replenish your body."
Princess Jingyin took one in her hand and looked at it again and said: "Dog Han, you are really not simple, you take the lead in any good thing, hey, but this kind of fruit, people are kiwi fruit, not Migou peach, so you can't eat it, because as soon as you eat it, it is an infringement on the monkey." β
Zhuang Ji applauded and agreed: "Princess Jingyin is right, so, I once suggested that Gou Han change his name, but now it's okay, if you don't change your name, you won't even be able to eat kiwifruit." β
Gou Han said: "Okay, then I'll be called Monkey Han, you can eat it now." β
Princess Jingyin said: "How can a monkey be naΓ―ve? I've only heard of monkey spirits, monkey spirits, and no one says monkey han. β
The dog is aggrieved and authentic; "Then I'll still call it Gouhan, you eat, I will dip kiwifruit in the future, and I will eat dogtail grass if I want to."
Cai Sandi saw that they were all teasing Gou Han, so he said: "Gou Han has a good heart, and he knows that you can eat some fruit after dinner, so he asked me to get some back." Actually, he kept it for you, and he didn't eat any of it, princess, it's good for you to eat more. As he spoke, he took a few kiwi fruits and put them in front of Jing Yin, and then said, "You eat, I'll go." β
Zhuang Ji shouted: "Hey, Cai Sandi, you don't panic. β
Cai Sandi came back, but when he saw Princess Jingyin here, he seemed reluctant.
Princess Jingyin said: "You came back just in time, you go to the Bamboo King's side, ask him to return to the palace at night, and say that I am waiting for him there." β
Zhuang Ji couldn't help but say, "Princess Jingyin, which one are you playing?" Since I was forced to do something with the Bamboo King, it was just a temporary measure, why did you always not believe it and take it seriously? Alas, a thousand mistakes are all my fault. I'll admit my mistake to you, all right. β
Cai Sandi also took the opportunity to be embarrassed and said: "The princess's order Sandi does not disobey, but now Sandi doesn't know where the Bamboo King is, so ......"
Princess Jingyin interrupted him and said, "So what? The Bamboo King is in the Zixiao Palace, you just tell him to go back to the palace. β
Cai Sandi had no choice but to agree: "Okay, I will definitely go to Zixiao Hall to invite the Bamboo King, but if the King is not there or it is inconvenient to go back to the palace, the princess should not blame me." β
Zhuang Ji answered: "Yes, Cai Sandi will definitely deliver the letter, but whether King Zhu is willing to return to the palace is another matter, you don't want to be wrong." β
Princess Jingyin said dissatisfiedly: "What I said to Cai San, outsiders don't interfere, okay?" β
Cai Sandi saw that because he was here, the quarrel between Zhuang Ji and the princess had the potential to escalate further, so he slipped to the door without saying a word, and said goodbye to Gou Han and left, jumping out of the door.
Gou Han followed and went out of the door, and caught up with Cai Sandi and grabbed him and said, "You must not go to Zixiao Palace, and don't look for King Zhu, the princess is deliberately in General Qizhuang, don't you understand?" β
Cai Sandi sighed and said, "Alas, where would I not understand? The misunderstanding between them is too deep, the princess's heart, and General Zhuang doesn't know that even if she is fatal, she can't agree to Yelang Bamboo King marrying her in front of her. Alas, this thing is really hard to recover. β
