Volume 1 The First Involvement in the Warring States Chapter 014 Escape from Chen County
What is the purpose of this princess of Wei coming to Chu? Why is you a princess, but you are separated between several men? Ancient women did not leave the boudoir in three steps, although they had been married to Teng's son, but they had not yet passed the door, how could they take the initiative to come to Chen County? Could it be that coming from afar to tempt Chun Shenjun and Li Yuan also has another purpose? So how do you look at it, it is very likely that the princess of Wei marrying the Teng family is a political marriage. In this Warring States era, all countries had their own evil intentions, and even if they allied forces to resist Qin, they only threatened their own countries in order to prevent Qin from becoming stronger. Qin's counter-plots were always successful, but they only took advantage of the fact that while each country was safeguarding its own interests, it also had the psychology of taking advantage of other countries, or fantasized that it could become the hegemon of the Warring States, just like the Eastern Qi and Western Qin.
Sure enough, as soon as the morning dawned, someone came to freshen up Wei Mingji. Lu Yu, who was hiding behind the screen, heard Wei Mingji whispering to a woman, and thought that it should be the little peach that Li Yuan was talking about. The approximate content is some "secrets" that Wei Mingji probed from Chun Shenjun's mouth, which only mentioned when Chun Shenjun would go to see the King of Chu, and Wei Mingji cleverly avoided other contents, so that Lu Yu had to admire this woman.
This princess of Wei is definitely a perfect spy.
Changing into a set of samurai clothes that Wei Mingji brought to Lu Yu, Lu Yu suddenly became the princess's "entourage". This set of samurai wore relatively high-quality clothing, which made Lu Yu feel like he had evolved from a mountain to a city. It is said that Wei people are still red and not fake, from the princess to the entourage, almost all of them are mainly red-based clothes.
However, because it was inconvenient for Lu Yu to show up, he could only get into the carriage pulled by four horses when no one found out, so as not to be recognized by the officers and soldiers of Chen County. The interior of the carriage is lavishly decorated, and the seats are covered with several layers of precious animal skins, which are used to alleviate the bumps caused by the carriage on the ancient roads. The space in the carriage is also relatively spacious, and it is not a problem to sit five or six people.
In order not to be discovered, Lu Yu sat in the corner on the side, trying to keep his head as low as possible, so as not to make another cut.
Wei Mingji finally boarded the carriage surrounded by several subordinates, and when she saw Lu Yu sitting on the side, almost shrunk into a ball, she couldn't help but smile, signaling that he didn't have to do this, and asked him to sit next to her. Lu Yu thought to himself that since she instructed so, it should be safe, so he sat down beside her according to her wishes.
At this time, the sound of horses' hooves was heard, and about a dozen horses were heard, and they stopped in front of the carriage. A man's voice sounded outside the car: "Simon is waiting to meet the princess." On the orders of the king and Xinlingjun, I came to welcome the princess back to my Daliang, and asked the princess to forgive Ximen for being late to take over the car, so that the princess waited for a long time. ”
Lu Yu thought to himself, it turned out to be Xinlingjun's person.
Wei Mingji said: "There is Mr. Lawsimon." ”
Simon approached on horseback and whispered in a strange tone, "Don't come to the princess." ”
Lu Yu "buzzed" in his heart, thinking that this guy outside wouldn't also have an affair with this princess of Wei, right? Turning her head to look at Wei Mingji, sure enough, the expression on her face was very embarrassed, and then she said, "Let's go back and talk about it." ”
Oh, my God! How many faces does this Wei Mingji have, Li Yuan, Chun Shenjun, and now what kind of Ximen Hou has been added, maybe there are still people who come to pick her up and return to Wei Kingdom! Lu Yu secretly sighed in his heart, didn't this ancient world respect some "etiquette and morality"? How can it be so open?
At this time, the sound of horses' hooves was heard approaching. Chun Shenjun's voice sounded outside: "Ben Jun is here to give the princess a ride." ”
Lu Yu was happy in his heart, thinking that the pair of "brother-in-law" met outside, I wonder if they would feel embarrassed or uncomfortable in each other's hearts?
Wei Mingji said coquettishly: "There is Lao Junshang." ”
A team of people finally set off.
With Chun Shenjun, not only will the road out of the city be much smoother, but also because of the escort team of Ximen Hou, the delicate relationship between the two sides makes Lu Yu rest assured that no one will be able to get into the carriage to flirt with Wei Mingji, and he is indeed much safer in the carriage.
Looking at Wei Mingji, who was sitting upright, Lu Yu couldn't help but think again, could it be that when the ancient nobles went out, they kept a posture in the carriage and sat seriously? Wouldn't that exhaust the spine?
Thinking of this, Lu Yu almost couldn't help laughing, just as Wei Mingji turned his head and saw the expression on Lu Yu's face, he couldn't help but wonder what was going on in the mind of the man opposite, why did his eyes stare at him, and suddenly look like he wanted to laugh?
So, Wei Mingji naturally misunderstood Lu Yu's idea that she was also beating her body. I thought to myself, maybe every man is the same.
Lu Yu realized that Wei Mingji was also looking at him. Seeing that the expression on the face of the princess of Wei changed from doubt to disdain, Lu Yu couldn't help but be stunned and guessed what she was thinking. There were so many people outside the carriage that they couldn't explain it to her, so they had to shrug their shoulders at her, regardless of whether she understood it or not.
In fact, he was still a little nervous at this time. Yesterday's death of Teng Wenzan, with the power of the Teng family, will definitely cause a lot of turmoil in the city, and maybe it will also affect the people in the city. And at the city gate, you don't have to think about it to know that there will definitely be heavy guards, for fear that Lu Yu will escape. Although there is a team of Chun Shenjun escorting the princess of Wei State, it is still within the scope of Chen County, and it is still unknown whether to go out or not. What's more, when Teng Wenzan came to the future son-in-law of Wei, something would definitely alarm the king of Chu, so Chun Shenjun would rush here.
As for what he said about protecting Wei Mingji, maybe it's true, maybe it's Teng Wenzan who is more important.
Lu Yu had already made the worst plan, if those people even had to search the carriage of the princess of Wei, then he had to fight, and he would die and rush out of this Chen County and die, otherwise if he fell into the hands of the Teng family, he would die an even more ugly death.
With a commotion outside, the carriage also stopped.
I only heard Na Ximen Hou say loudly: "I will escort the princess of Wei back to China." Please let the general go. ”
Lu Yu thought to himself that the tense moment had finally come. Originally, from the moment I got into the carriage, I just wanted to leave Chen County and Chu State as soon as possible, but now I feel that this team is going too fast.
I only heard someone shouting: "Then please ask the princess to get out of the car, and let her be released naturally after passing the lowly inspection." ”
Simon shouted angrily: "Bastard thing! Princess Jin Zhi Yuye, did you let you get off the car? ”
The man smiled and said, "That's the princess of your Wei Kingdom!" Not the princess of my Chu country! Now that something has happened to your future son-in-law of the Wei Kingdom, please don't embarrass this lord. ”
Then there was the sound of Simon waiting for the crowd to unsheath their swords.
Hearing the sound of weapons, Lu Yu was also ready to strike at any time. Wei Mingji patted his hand and signaled him not to be nervous and see the situation.
At this time, I only heard Chun Shenjun say slowly: "Don't you even recognize Benjun?" ”
Then the voices of dozens of people sounded at the same time: "See the king." ”
Chun Shenjun said: "The princess's carriage, this gentleman has ordered someone to carefully inspect it, and there is no one you are looking for in it, let it go quickly." ”
Just now, the man said, "This... I'm afraid it's not good......"
Chun Shenjun said calmly again: "Could it be that you dare to disobey Benjun's orders?" ”
Before the man could reply, the sound of horses' hooves sounded behind him. Then, Teng's voice came from behind: "Chunshenjun, don't come unharmed!" ”
Chun Shenjun smiled: "It turned out to be Teng Ye!" ”
Teng asked, "Why did the king leave the city early in the morning?" ”
Chun Shenjun said: "Definitely." Benjun just escorted the princess of Wei out of the city. ”
Teng Shi said again: "I see. There is a reluctant invitation below, I wonder if the gentleman is selling a little affection? ”
Chun Shenjun replied: "Master Teng, please speak." ”
Teng said: "Yesterday my son was killed by a thief in the city, the stakes are very high, and now the thief's whereabouts are unknown, and he escaped, Teng suspects that this thief is still in the city, and it is not ruled out that he is hiding in the carriage, endangering the safety of the princess, so Teng wants to sell a little affection to the king, so that Teng can test the carriage." If the thief was really not in the carriage, Teng immediately pleaded guilty to the princess and sent additional men and horses to escort the princess back to Wei. ”
Inside the carriage, Lu Yu and Wei Mingji glanced at each other. What Lu Yu thought was: This Teng clan relies on his power and has some friendship with Chun Shenjun, if Chun Shenjun agrees to let his people come to inspect the carriage, then he will be miserable, not only to deal with the Teng clan and Chen Jun's people, but also to add Chun Shenjun and Ximen Hou's people. With the strength of one person, how can it be against dozens of people.
Wei Mingji seemed to be confident, but she just showed a smile, and her small mouth snorted in the direction of the outside, as if she was saying to Lu Yu: You just continue to listen.
Chun Shenjun seemed to hesitate, and only listened to Ximen Hou: "Please think twice, this matter must not be." The princess is a golden branch and jade leaf, if this matter spreads, how can I have the face of the king? ”
Teng snorted coldly, but heard Chun Shenjun say: "Ben Jun has already said that he has already ordered someone to inspect the carriage, and there is nothing suspicious. Besides, the princess of Wei is in my Great Chu, and we will protect the safety of the princess and will never let any thief endanger the princess. With Teng Ye's friendship with Ben Jun, Ling Lang can also be regarded as Ben Jun's nephew, and the king has ordered to investigate this matter, can Teng Ye not trust Ben Jun? ”
Teng said in a somewhat angry voice: "Teng doesn't dare. ”
Chun Shenjun said again: "Teng Ye can rest assured. Ling Lang's affairs, this gentleman will be the master for you. Don't delay the princess's return. ”
I only heard a commotion outside, and then heard the Ximen Hou say: "I have thanked the king and Teng Ye for my humble duties, and I will say goodbye here." Then the carriage began to move again.
Lu Yu breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, thinking that there was no danger, but fortunately, thanks to this multiple mysterious relationship, he was able to pass the city gate smoothly.
Then the next thing is to think about how to get out and escape from the Ximen Hou team. Chun Shenjun was only sent to the city gate, so it means that the next journey has been escorted by more than a dozen people at the West Gate, if he has an affair with this princess of Wei, maybe he will come to the carriage to make love to her, and then, Lu Yu will show his original form. It turned out that it would not work to follow the carriage of the princess of Wei to reach the Liang of Wei directly, so he had to come up with a way as soon as possible to escape from this small team that might be full of masters, and then think about how to go to Wei to find Zhang Wu and others.
Just as he was thinking about it, the Ximen Hou approached the carriage again and whispered, "The lowly guard is ineffective, and the princess is frightened." ”
These words sounded like they were pleading guilty to Wei Mingji, but Lu Yu heard the frivolous tone in his words.
Wei Mingji smiled lightly and replied, "This princess has not been frightened, what is Mr. Simon's guilt." ”
Lu Yu scolded secretly in his heart, he was still sitting next to her, could it be that he had only been out of the city for a while, and Ximen Hou was about to flirt with Wei Mingji, but he couldn't bear it even for a moment?
I only heard Ximen Hou laugh, but he didn't continue to tease Wei Mingji as Lu Yu expected, but went to the front of the carriage.
Maybe when it's time for a lunch break, I'll have a chance to escape. Lu Yu thought to himself. In fact, I don't know how far away from Chen Jun will be at noon, and if I can successfully get out of it, which direction I should go.
At this time, Lu Yu sneezed a sneeze that he never expected!
Lu Yu's mind "buzzed", and after his heart was finished, he had only walked a few miles, and he had caused such trouble for himself.
Wei Mingji looked at Lu Yu in surprise, obviously not expecting him to make a noise at this time.
As the carriage stopped, all sound came to an abrupt halt.
"Who!" Simon shouted as he drew his sword. Suddenly, the team dismounted, and the sound of swords unsheathed was incessant. Lu Yu heard the groom who was driving the car get out of the carriage gently, and the sound of his shoes rubbing against the ground slowly approached the carriage.
These ancients are really ridiculous, first Ximen Hou called "who", then the sound of dismounting, and then the sound of drawing the sword, if you really want to be unfavorable to this princess of Wei, make such a loud noise, isn't it to make yourself wary?
Lu Yu didn't expect that at this time, such strange thoughts could still pop up in his mind, as if it was completely inappropriate.
At this time, I only heard Wei Mingji say quietly: "Mr. Simon, don't be nervous, there are friends in the car." Then he lifted the curtain of the carriage, and Lu Yu finally saw the face of this Ximen Hou clearly. This person has long black hair tied up in a crown, is dressed in a red coat with dark cloud sleeves, and has a pair of phoenix eyes, and the light in his eyes makes people think that he is a shrewd person at a glance. A good pair of sword eyebrows, heroic and compelling.
The rest of the dozen or so people, all of whom are tall and burly, can see that they are all from a family, but they are not as conspicuous as Ximen Hou.
Such a handsome man, no wonder he can fall in love with Wei Mingji. I don't know what kind of person this person is, as a guest of Xinlingqun, he can also have an affair with the princess of Wei, so it must not be simple. Lu Yu thought to himself. At this time, he also found that the samurai costume he was wearing was very similar to Ximen Hou. A wisp of conjecture floated into his mind, which made Lu Yu shocked.
Could it be that Ximen Hou's clothes were also given by Wei Mingji?
Obviously, Ximen Hou also thought of the same problem. At this time, he was staring at Lu Yu with his phoenix eyes, and his face showed a puzzled look: "Who is this...?" ”
Wei Mingji was about to make up a lie to get through this pass, but he saw Lu Yu step out of the carriage first, waved his hands, and said to Ximen: "In Xia Lu Yu, he is a person from Chu Ting, and his family teacher is Yunmengshan Xuanwei Zhenjun." I have long heard that there is a talented and swordsman-like Ximen Hou in the mansion of Xinling Jun of Wei State, and when I see it today, it is really a dragon among people! ”
I thought that anyway, I don't know where this Yunmeng Mountain is, who is Xuanwei Zhenjun, I always hear Zhang Wu introduce himself like this, it seems to be quite big, Zhang Wu said that it is the apprentice grandson of Xuanwei Zhenjun, so I borrowed it myself, and I also raised myself a generation higher than Zhang Wu, maybe it will be more useful.
Wei Mingji showed a very surprised look on her face, she had never heard Lu Yu mention these at all. And Ximen Hou was praised by Lu Yu's words, looked up to the sky and smiled, and returned the salute to Lu Yu, but he still couldn't hide the very proud look on his face, and said, "Brother Lu has won the award." Yunmengshan is capable of many people, but I didn't expect Brother Lu to be a disciple of Xuanwei Zhenjun, which is really disrespectful. He also doubted: "I have some friendship with a high-ranking disciple of Xuanwei Zhenjun, this person is Le Yi, the general of Yan State, but why have you never heard of Brother Lu's name?" ”
Lu Yuxin screamed badly, the ghost knew that Le Yi would also be the apprentice of that Xuanwei Zhenjun, he really bragged about meeting an acquaintance. In an instant, he made it up in his mind, and said to Ximen Hou: "That's because when the junior brother started, Senior Brother Le Yi was not in Yunmeng Mountain, so he didn't know the younger brother. ”
Ximen Hou suddenly realized, revealing a "I see" expression. He asked again: "Brother Lu is the one who turned Chen Jun upside down and killed the third son of the Teng family?" ”
Lu Yu smiled awkwardly: "Mr. Simon smiled." The death of the young man was indeed related to the younger brother, but he was not killed by the younger brother. ”
Ximen Hou said again: "Then why didn't Brother Lu explain it clearly to Teng's family?" You must know that Gongzi Zan is the future son-in-law of my Wei State, isn't Brother Lu afraid that we will be embarrassed? ”
Lu Yu smiled bitterly: "Things in the world are sometimes really indisputable. He added, "It's not a secret, the reason why I met the princess in Xia is actually in the calculation of the family teacher." ”
As soon as these words came out, both Ximen Hou and Wei Mingji showed surprise on their faces. Wei Mingji was thinking about which sentence Lu Yu said was true and which sentence was false; But what Ximen was waiting for was whether the supernatural power of the Xuanwei True Monarch was really so vast.
Simon Hou wondered: "Then I don't know where Brother Lu went?" ”
Wei Mingji took the lead and replied for Lu Yu: "Lu Ye is also going to Wei State." ”
Ximen Hou was a little surprised, looked at Wei Mingji, and then at Lu Yu, originally he thought that Lu Ji and the two seemed to have an ordinary relationship, but sometimes it made people feel that their relationship was extraordinary.
Lu Yu hurriedly said: "Today, who doesn't know that Wei Guoxinling Jun is famous, benevolent and generous, and a corporal of courtesy, and he is ordered by his family teacher to visit. ”
Ximen Hou laughed and said, "I see." Then if Brother Lu doesn't dislike it, why don't you go with us? ”
This is exactly what Lu Yu couldn't ask for.
Hurriedly said: "Thanks to the princess and Mr. Simon for not disliking it, then you're welcome." ”
Wei Mingji didn't know whether what Lu Yu said was true or false, anyway, he felt that he was not an ordinary person, and it would be good if he could use it for his own use, so he didn't expose him.
Simon waited for one of them to give up his horse to Lu Yu, and when he saw the iron sword at his waist, he asked, "If you are not mistaken, Brother Lu's matching sword is a Yue sword?" ”
Lu Yu's mind "buzzed" again, Zhang Wu didn't mention the origin of this sword when he gave it to him, and he didn't know much about the sword, and he was only interested in Zhang Wu's bronze sword at that time, and when he saw that Zhang Wu gave him an iron sword, he didn't think about it carefully, thinking that he could just take it with him like a warrior anyway. When he asked Simon Hou this, he didn't know how to answer. But fortunately, the "Yue Sword" mentioned in Ximen Hou's mouth, he happened to have some understanding, so he smiled at Ximen Hou again: "Ha, Mr. Ximen's eyes are like a torch, this sword is indeed a Yue Sword, which is refined many times after quenching by a famous craftsman, and it is extremely sharp." In today's world, there is no one who can forge such a good sword like a swordsmith in the Yue Kingdom. ”
I thought that anyway, I would talk nonsense, anyway, there is no place to make this sword engraved on it, but since Ximen Hou said that it was a Yue sword, it would never be bad, and he would make up a lie casually according to his words, as long as he could be fooled too much.
The greedy look on Ximen Hou's face flashed, but he couldn't hide it from Lu Yu's eyes. I only heard him say: "The sword is matched with the hero, and when I see it today, it is also a blessing in the eyes." I don't know if this sword has a name? ”
Lu Yu said in his heart that this person was really entangled, remembering that this sword had helped him break through the encirclement of the Teng family warriors in Chen County, so he said to Ximen Hou: "The name of this sword is 'Breaking Army'. ”
Ximen Hou whispered a few times in his mouth, and then said to Lu Yu: "Presumably, Brother Lu is also superb in swordsmanship, otherwise how could he have given such a domineering name for this sword." ”
Lu Yu smiled embarrassedly, so he had to bite the bill and said: "Brother Ximen is smiling, he only knows a few tricks in the next step, and it is very likely that he will not enter the eyes of Brother Ximen." ”
Ximen Hou looked up to the sky and smiled, and said with a straight face: "Brother Lu, don't laugh, since you are the disciple of Xuanwei Zhenjun of Yunmeng Mountain, where is it as simple as a few moves?" Brother Lu is too humble. ”
But seeing that Lu Yu was silent, he ordered the team to set off.
