Chapter 40: Because He's a Man!
Xiangzhou, go straight to Jingxiang in the south, go straight to the Central Plains in the north, Hanzhong in the west, reach Xuzhou in the east, govern Xiangcheng, an ancient civilized city with a long history, it has been a traffic fortress since ancient times, and the soldiers must fight for the place.
It is the capital of the original Shu State, after being occupied by the Chu State, the Chu State has been expanded and strengthened on the original basis, and has now become the second largest city in the Chu State, and the military town garrisoned by the 200,000 troops led by the King of Qin, the most warlike Qin State.
Looking at the towering city in front of him, Chen Rui poured into his heart with the information he knew, and couldn't help but secretly praise: "What a strong city," just this wall like an iron wall, it is not a matter of how many troops there are at all if you want to capture it.
Although it has been twilight, the city is still extremely lively, bustling crowds, liquor shops have not yet closed, and there are even many stalls on the streets, which shows the prosperity of Xiangcheng.
Now that he has arrived in Xiangcheng, it is naturally the time to separate, Chen Rui looked in the direction of the carriage and said: "It is my honor to be able to walk with the girl, the purpose of my trip is Xiangcheng, and now I have arrived in Xiangcheng, it is time to separate. β
Although the companion is a little inexplicable, he still doesn't know the other party's name, although she seems to be still angry, and she may not take care of herself, but she will not lose her politeness because of this.
In fact, he is still a very proud person in his bones, after all, the teacher who has taught him for many years is a great Confucian in the world, and he is respected as a joke, and the people who can be called sons are all people who are respected by the world, and he has such an excellent mother, plus he himself also has a good look. It's just that he has a little inferiority complex when he compares with Qin Qingyao.
Her faint voice came from the car: "Well, take care, Childe." β
"Take care, girl, stay safe on the road."
Chen Rui smiled, and after hesitating for a moment, he decided to suppress his restlessness first, eager to see her heart, find an inn, and meet his fiancΓ©e who he hadn't seen for nearly ten years tomorrow.
After all, it is rude to visit at night, and it is also rude to be empty-handed.
But buying some gifts on the street seems too casual, what is there in the Qin Palace? If you think about it, the only thing you can get your hands on is the contents of this cup.
King Qin is a military man, and he must not be able to resist the temptation of the contents of this cup, of course, ordinary wine may not have any temptation for him, but he is not an ordinary wine, but a distilled spirit that he has never drunk.
didn't go far, and Xuanya in the car asked puzzledly: "Isn't the county lord's trip just for Chen Gongzi?" Why didn't Chen Gongzi recognize him in front of him? β
Xuan Su was also puzzled, and when she heard this, she also looked at her own county lord.
Qin Qingyao chuckled and said, "Because he's a man!" β
Although she believed that he was not like this, she suddenly thought not long ago that men in this era can have three wives and four concubines, so she has to guard against it, let him know that it is not so easy to get, and if he gets it, he must cherish it, don't think about those who have it, she will not allow it.
And he is in Xiangcheng now, and under his nose, he doesn't have to worry about not finding him.
Can Chen Gongzi still be a woman? Xuansu and Xuanya didn't understand it even more.
Qin Qingyao didn't explain much.
When he returned to the palace, he was called by Murong Yan.
Murong Yan looked at her daughter who walked into the room and asked, "Have you seen Rui'er?" β
Qin Qingyao nodded and said, "I saw it." β
She was not surprised that Murong Yan would ask this question, after all, the power of the Qin Palace's mansion could not be underestimated, if she wanted to know her whereabouts, what to do, it was not difficult.
Murong Yan's face showed a look of nostalgia, and said: "It's been almost ten years since this moment, and I still remember that Rui'er was well-behaved and sensible and quiet like a girl, while Jin'er was naughty and mischievous and more like a boy. I haven't heard from them for ten years, and I don't know what Sister Cai Xuan is like this? β
Then he looked at his daughter a little nervously and asked, "Are you still satisfied with Rui'er?" β
She is very much in favor of this marriage, but she still knows very well what kind of character her daughter is, what she doesn't like is not like, and she never forces herself, you must know that she has never called Zihao a word of father.
If she doesn't like Rui'er, this marriage is basically yellow.
Being asked such a question so bluntly by her mother, even Qin Qingyao couldn't help but have a touch of shyness on her face, and she couldn't help but think of the back figure in front of her that made him feel at ease, nodded generously, and said, "He's fine." β
Murong Yan breathed a sigh of relief and asked with a smile, "Why didn't you bring Rui'er back?" β
Qin Qingyao was stunned for a moment, thought for a while and said, "He said that it is not convenient to be so late, for fear of disturbing you." β
"This kid, what is there to disturb us when he sees us like this?" Murong Yan smiled and said, "Where is he staying?" I sent for him. β
Qin Qingyao shook his head and said, "No need, mother, he must be very tired after such a long journey, he may have rested, and he is in Xiangcheng, so he is not in a hurry to meet at this time." β
Murong Yan thought about it for a while, and said with concern: "Presumably you are also tired, go and rest early." β
Qin Qingyao nodded and retreated.
At the same time, in a restaurant in Xiangcheng, Luo Wen looked at Qin Heng with displeasure on his face, and said impatiently: "Say, what is the matter with this son?" β
He is not a magnanimous person, last time it was this Qin Heng who had no ability and said big things, he didn't get any advantage after suffering like that, he hadn't settled accounts with him, so naturally he wouldn't give him a good look.
Want to marry my sister? Hum! Dream.
Didn't you just not convince her to go to the appointment? As for being so angry now? Besides, it was also a drunken loss, Qin Heng thought with some puzzlement. He just wanted to break his head, and he wouldn't have thought that Rowan would go through such a thing because of his carelessness.
However, Qin Heng still picked up a glass of wine and said sincerely: "It was my fault to blame me last time, I didn't expect her to give me no face at all, so I'm here to accompany Brother Luo." β
Although he is a concubine, he is the son of King Qin, and there is a big tree of King Qin's Mansion behind him, and he is not too much, and he can't be a friend or an enemy, so he picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
Although Luo Wen still had a lukewarm attitude, drinking wine meant accepting his apology, so he also drank it all and said: "I asked Brother Luo to come out this time, because I have news to tell Brother Luo." β
"Oh?" Rowan took a bite of food and said with a flat expression: "What news?" β
Qin Heng whispered, "It's about my sister Yaoxin County Lord." β
Luo Wen's eyes lit up when he heard this, he became interested, looked at Qin Heng and said, "Say it quickly." β
"My sister has left the palace a few days ago and went out of the house, as if she was looking for a man named Chen Rui." Qin Heng whispered, he didn't know that Qin Qingyao had come back now.
"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Rowan stood up excitedly and said with some complaints. If he had known that he would still be able to keep up and win her favor, and the worst thing was that the saint would have been sacrificed, but he didn't use it up, and deliberately kept some.
But what's the use of telling him now? It was all a few days ago, who knows where she is.
"I also just learned about it, and I'll tell Brother Luo about it." Qin Heng said that he was a little dissatisfied with Luo Wen's complaints, but for the sake of his life's events, he did not show it.
"Who is this Chen Rui? What is the county lord looking for him? β
Qin Heng shook his head.
Luo Wen was a little disappointed, but it can be regarded as something gained, I just hope that Chen Rui will be a little more interesting! If you dare to rob him Luo Wen, you have to be prepared to lose your life!
