Chapter 351 Abduction
The lord of Qingyang County has been living in the palace since the New Year, and Mrs. Qi, who raised her since childhood, and Wang Jian, the lord of Shu, shared a happy life, and then waited for the Lantern Festival to go to Tanzhou to marry Yang Yuanpu, the third prince of Great Chu.
These few days in the palace do not mean that the county lord of Qingyang has nothing to do.
The dazzling dowry must be prepared and counted, and it will be shipped out of the palace treasury in two days and loaded in advance.
The gorgeous and magnificent wedding dress should also seize the time to complete the final embroidery and cutting.
Although there is a weaving and embroidery bureau in the palace and the best embroiderers in Shu, the county lord of Qingyang does not like the aesthetics of the palace. As a woman, she can only get married once in her life, how can she not ask about the wedding dress?
And more importantly, he accompanied her to marry into the choice of palace officials and maids of the Chu State.
Although Qingyang has been around a group of palace officials and palace maids to take care of them since he was a child, he can basically be sure that they are reliable, and there is nothing suspicious or messy involved, but these people are reliable in Shudu, it does not mean that they are forcibly forced to leave their hometowns, marry with her to Chu State, and be separated from newcomers for the rest of their lives, there is no possibility of reunion, and they have no complaints in their hearts?
And when she went to the state of Chu, she was followed by an ambiguous homeland with the enemy of Great Chu, and there were no one or two people around her to be afraid of, marrying Yang Yuanpu was like a sheep like a wolf, and she was in a worrying situation.
Although Li Yao, the princess of Tan, also has an inextricable relationship with the Shenling Division, it not only does not mean that Li Yao and the Xinchang Marquis Mansion behind her will remember the old relationship, but even try their best to suppress her because of her competition for favor; What's more, once Yang Yuanpu ascends the throne as the emperor, the daughters of the minister's family will be selected to fill in the three palaces and six courts, and they will all be her fierce rivals.
When the time comes, she will be alone, how can she do it without one or two people around who can give advice?
Although his brother finally chose to adopt Han Qian's advice and successfully served as the assassin of Yuzhou and undertook the affairs of Jingluo Banan, Qingyang always felt that Han Qian was not trustworthy.
It's just that apart from Han Qian, among the cronies and generals around Yang Yuanpu, the third prince of Chu, who can she bring in reinforcements?
Qingyang sat in front of the window with a sad heart, watching the drizzle fall on the eaves.
At this time, the waiting left and right Mo walked in and said: "The Changxiang Marquis Mansion has just sent someone into the palace, saying that it is to welcome Han Qian who has suffered from a sudden illness and is bedridden in the South Garden of Jinhua Building, or he wants to delay His Majesty to escort the county lord back to Chu to complete the marriage in a few days!" ”
Qingyang was taken aback, stood up and said, "I'll go and talk to my wife, and I'll go to the Changxiang Hou Mansion." ”
Although deep down in her heart, she believed that Han Qian was the kind of person with a gloomy temperament and was not enough to trust, but for now, if there was no Han Qian, she would become a caged bird completely trapped in the inner mansion of the Tan King Mansion or the Chu Palace.
Although there was no harsh etiquette for men and women in the world, Qingyang couldn't go directly to Jinhualou Nanyuan to visit Han Qian, thinking about going back to the Changxiang Marquis Mansion first, and there were other things to discuss with Liang Wan.
Over the years, under the governance of Wang Jian, the lord of Shu, although the capital of Shu has not been closed at night, the matter of bandits running rampant in the streets and alleys has been basically banned.
The county lord of Qingyang left the palace in a hurry, and there were only five or six people clustered around a gorgeous carriage through the streets and alleys, and there could be no guard of honor, nor could there be hundreds of guards to protect him.
Even if the scouts of the Liang State wanted to destroy the marriage of Chu Shu, it would not be possible to achieve it by assassinating the county lord of Qingyang. In that case, it will only cause the relationship between Liang and Shu to completely break down, and completely push Shu to the side of Chu.
When passing through Nanhua Lane, I saw an old man in shabby clothes, leading a donkey to drive a charcoal truck carrying firewood and charcoal into the city to sell from the other end of the alley.
Maybe the charcoal cart was too old, and it was too full of charcoal, and I heard it when I turned into the alley and didn't go out seven or eight feet away
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
With a squeak, the wooden wheel cracked, and the charcoal cart toppled down, and the black charcoal suddenly leaked to the ground, and suddenly blocked the narrow alley five or six feet wide with the collapsed car body.
The old donkey was also strangled to the ground by the rope that had suddenly tied his chest, and his hooves were squealing and screaming.
Qingyang felt that the carriage stopped, opened the curtain and a cold wind rushed in, saw the situation at the entrance of the alley, frowned slightly, and was about to let the emperor lead the horse around, and saw a few beggars holding broken bowls on the left and right, and when she noticed something abnormal and was about to scream, several beggars and vegetable sellers who followed from behind were already rushing up and restraining several palace attendants who were crowding the carriage.
"You dare to rob me, aren't you afraid of exterminating the Nine Clans?" Qingyang shouted sharply, but before she could pull out the makeup knife hidden in her arms, a figure was extremely fast and jumped into the carriage, unfolded a large piece of thick black cloth, and wrapped her head.
Qingyang then felt that her hands were clamped by iron tongs, and she screamed sharply, but the sound could not be transmitted by the thick black cloth and the carriage, and soon a hand like iron tongs pried her mouth open, tied it horizontally with a rope, and strangled it into her mouth that was forced to open, telling her to make no more noise; At the same time, I heard a voice instructing others to disguise themselves as palace attendants and lead the carriage out of Nanhua Lane.
Qingyang also wanted to wait for the carriage to go out of Nanhua Lane to make a noise again, but she didn't want to be forcibly dragged to the carriage the next moment, and she was dragged to a mansion on the side with several other palace attendants, she realized at this time that the other party had been planning to rob her in Nanhua Lane for a long time, and this mansion was located on the way she had to go from the palace to the Changxiang Marquis's Mansion, and it should have been secretly prepared.
When she entered the courtyard, she was separated from the palace eunuchs and was pushed through the hall, and she intuitively knew that from the other side of the house, she was stuffed into a stench car, and her hands and feet were fastened to the body by other ropes.
Not to mention breaking free at this time, it was impossible for her to even make some noise.
The carriage passed through the dense streets and alleys of the Shu capital, and Qingyang soon lost his direction, not knowing which gate he was being transported out of the city, until he heard the sound of gurgling water.
She was dragged down from the carriage, and the black cloth covering her face was lifted, and she saw Han Qian, who was said to be in Jinhua Lou Nanyuan, who was suddenly sick and bedridden, standing on the riverbank at this time, surrounded by everyone, staring at the mighty river.
I haven't seen it for just a few days, Han Qian's hair at this time is unkempt, his cheeks and chin haven't been shaved for a few days, he is covered with dense stubble, the whole thing looks rough and sloppy, his cheeks are thin, and his eye sockets are also sunken, as if he has really had a serious illness in the past few days.
Occasionally glanced at it, but the eyes were so gloomy, and there was a chilling resentment hidden deep in it.
Yang Qin saw that the county lord of Qingyang was untied by Xi Fa'er and Guo, and he didn't make a big noise, and said quite strangely: "The county lord seems to be very calm?" ”
"You spent so much effort and didn't want me to make a move, but you didn't knock me out with a stick, you must not dare to hurt me in the slightest, so what else can the county lord have to worry about?" Qingyang rubbed his wrist, which was numb, red and swollen, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said in an indifferent tone as much as possible, "Why did you tie me up and leave the city, can you tell me the reason now?" ”
Yang Qin, Zhou Chu and the others were also secretly shocked when they saw that the county lord of Qingyang could be so calm at this moment.
Han Qian didn't move, nor did he make a sound.
杨秦 says:
"There was a drastic change in Jinling, His Majesty was killed, and Xu Hui usurped the throne after the traitor, but he slandered the concubine and the Marquis of Xinchang for colluding to kill His Majesty, and His Royal Highness could not save himself. My family is worried that there will be changes in the marriage between the county lord and His Royal Highness, so I can only ask the county lord to go back to Dachu with us to complete the marriage with His Royal Highness first, and ask the county lord to forgive us for our hardships. ”
Qing Yang's heart swelled with monstrous anger and hatred that wanted to tear these people in front of her to pieces, but what made her even more unbearable was that Han Qian was even right at this time
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
didn't look at themselves, it seemed that Guo Ke and Xi Fa'er had caught an innocuous kitten and puppy.
Qingyang gritted his teeth and asked:
"What if I can't be considerate?"
Han Qian was still like a statue, looking at the mighty river, completely unmoved by Qingyang's words, as if Qingyang's words of resentment were not as good as a wisp of moist and warm river breeze in the afternoon.
Yang Qin motioned to Guo to take the black cloth and rope that had just been untied and stepped forward, so that the county lord of Qingyang could clearly recognize the cruel situation and facts in front of him.
Of course, they hope that the county lord of Qingyang can have a gesture of cooperation, otherwise they can only tie the county lord of Qingyang all the way back to Dachu.
Qingyang couldn't wait to pounce on it and scratch a few marks on Han Qian's dog thief's face, but now she could only question Yang Qin aggressively:
"I haven't arrived at the Changxiang Marquis Mansion, and someone will soon report to the palace, and when the time comes, I will confirm that the greeting envoy will not say goodbye, do you think you can really escape the pursuit of the Hidden Dragon Si Jingqi in the land of thousands of miles? And the men and horses you left behind to cover your whereabouts, how can you escape the capital punishment of Dashu? ”
杨秦 says:
"It is said that the princess is not up to the master, we can only ask the county lord to leave a letter, stating that after the county lord learned the news of the drastic changes in Jinling, he was afraid that the lord of Shu would regret the marriage and voluntarily conspire with us to escape from Shudu. I think the Lord of Shu will definitely feel the sincere feelings between the county lord and His Royal Highness, and forgive us for the sins of disrespect. ”
"What if I don't write?" The county lord of Qingyang said.
杨秦 says:
"We have already written the letter, and the handwriting is seven or eight points similar to that of the county lord, and now we only need to borrow one of the county lord's personal favorite things to prove it; And the people around the county lord probably don't dare to bear the crime of exterminating the clan by losing the county lord, and it will also prove that everything is the mastermind of the county lord, and everything is the county lord's will! ”
Qingyang didn't expect that everything was in Han Qian's plan, so that she couldn't struggle to live or die, and at this time, she didn't hide the hatred in her heart, and asked resentfully, "Aren't you afraid that I will hold a grudge against this matter in the future?" ”
Yang Qin said: "Everything we do is for the sake of His Highness. The county lord is angry at this time, but he has a very strong relationship with His Royal Highness, and it is rare to be able to understand that my family is loyal in the future. ”
Qingyang scolded angrily in her heart, she had a fart relationship with Yang Yuanpu, she knew that she couldn't count on Han Qian, the dog thief, to put her back as she was, but how could she be willing to be tied up by Han Qian, the dog thief, and go back to Chu like this?
Qingyang took advantage of Yang Qin's unpreparedness, suddenly reached out to one of the guards beside him, snatched the saber from his waist, and was about to kill himself with a horizontal knife, but Guo Qi and Xi Fa'er were faster, knocked off the saber in her hand from behind, and cut her hands behind her back to prevent her from harming herself.
Yang Qin and Zhou's faces changed in shock, I didn't expect the county lord of Qingyang to be so strong, don't say that the county lord of Qingyang died here today, even if it was self-harm and missing a little finger, it would be difficult for them to return to Tanzhou.
Qingyang said proudly: "I fell into your hands, I can't struggle, but I want to die, what can you do with me?" See how you will explain to your master when you return to Dachu? ”
Only then did Han Qian turn around and glance at Qingyang.
This is not a glance without any emotion, it is so cold, it seems to hide a little murderous intention, which makes Qingyang frightened, as if he is a dead corpse in the eyes of this dog thief, I don't know what happened in Jinling, which makes this dog thief's heart change greatly.
Han Qian took out a book from his arms, walked to the river to soak it, and then walked to Qingyang, tore off the soaked rice paper pages one by one, covered her face, covered her mouth and nose, and stared at Qingyang's red and purple face a little bit ruthlessly, and said word by word:
"What I want to do is just to make Wang Jian, the lord of Shu, and Wang Yong, the Marquis of Changxiang, think that you have left Shu with us, but it is just a burden to take you with me, I don't know how many more people will die for you......"
