Section 19 The Story of the Golden Knife and the Horse (1)
For eight days in a row, Zhao Yu led people to the Jinsha River on time to assist Jin Liancheng, but he returned day by day in vain. At first, Yao Jin didn't care about it, thinking that the stele was dead and alive, not for two or three days a day, and then not for ten days and eight days, there would always be a day when it was fished up. But until the evening of the ninth day, she was watching Fu Jiang in the study who had just presented a briefing from Fu'an about the purging of the mountain bandits, but Jin Liancheng suddenly walked in with a rather gloomy face, and the maids at the door knew that the person who came was special, and they didn't dare to stop him, so they followed him into the study in a hurry, and retreated silently.
"Come to me for dinner at this point?" Yao Jin didn't raise his head, and said lazily: "I'm busy, you and Yuebai will go eat first." ”
"Yao Jin, what do you want to do?"
The hand that had just lifted a page paused, and the young feudal lord raised his head with a puzzled expression: "What are you doing?"
"Or should I say, what do you want the king to do?"
Yao Jin slowly put down the things in his hand and frowned: "What did I ask Wang Xiang to do? Can I still let him secretly drag away the totem stele in the Jinsha River? What do you have to say clearly, I am really busy, and I don't have time to guess riddles with you." ”
In Yao Jin's heart, the relationship between her and Jin Liancheng, or the way they get along, is still like in SKS, they can say whatever they can think of like friends. But obviously, Jin Liancheng regarded Yao Jin's answer just now as a kind of rejection, a kind of disdain or lazy perfunctory, and he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, "His Royal Highness the Lord of the Vassal State is busy with official business, so naturally he doesn't have time to pay attention to such a trivial matter." I'm just a little messenger of the King of the Jungle, so naturally I don't dare to disturb you. It's just that the matter of the totem stele is very important, if you can't return to the jungle smoothly this time, from the Wei State to the Li Dynasty and then to the Xiaonan Kingdom, even if the battle line is long, the King of the Jungle doesn't care about burning another war. ”
"Jin Liancheng, you don't threaten me!" Yao Jin slapped the table and stood up, "I don't know what you're going to say! I also said something, you just say something, do you think I will deliberately do something unfavorable to you? Can I still plot against you!"
"You asked Wang Xiang to check the origin of the totem stele, look for the descendants of the Jinsha tribe in Caiyun City and the surrounding areas, and secretly explore the waterway from the South China Sea to the north to the dense forest-Yao Jin, I really want to know, what are you trying to do!"
Yao Jin was stunned, she didn't know what Wang Xiang had done, but she also immediately reacted that Jin Liancheng must have thought too much, Wang Xiang would definitely not have any plans for the dense forest and the stone tablet in the dense forest, he should just want to figure out the ins and outs. So Yao Jinhe explained in a slow tone: "I didn't ask Wang Xiang to find out the origin of the stele or the descendants of the Jinsha tribe, if he did this, it must be to help you find the totem stele as soon as possible; You are busy looking for the stele now, and I haven't told you about it yet, but you must have misunderstood what you just said. ”
"Well, I can trust you. However, please inform Wang Xiang immediately and stop all his small actions. As for you wanting to borrow the northern part of the jungle to trade, when I send back the totem stele, I will discuss the matter with you again. Jin Liancheng's face was still as cold as when he entered the door, and after finishing speaking, he turned around and left. Yao Jin looked at his back and frowned heavily: Where did the former gentle Chen Cheng go? The suspicious and indifferent man who just left was really the rotten good man Chen Cheng who used to be the most important in everything? Is it really her former good partner and good friend and Lin Yuebai's lover?
She didn't know, she didn't know at all.
That night, Yao Jin sent someone to ask Wang Xiang to go to the Jinsha River, and when Wang Xiang arrived, she had been standing by the river for a long time.
"Your Highness. ”
"Do you know why I called you?"
"The vassals know. ”
"You are a minister, I am a king. Do you know that?"
"The vassals know. ”
"You are someone I trust, and I am someone you should trust. Do you know that?"
"Ministers, I know. ”
"Then why did you do this? Why didn't you tell me?" Yao Jin turned around, she was dressed in a navy blue gown, and her white hairband gently lifted in the wind, looking pretty, her pretty face was heroic, and it was dazzling beside the Jinsha River that was gradually sinking into the ink. And the moment Wang Xiang raised his head, he met Yao Jin's burning eyes, and couldn't help but think for a moment, then hurriedly lowered his head and said softly: "The subordinate knows his mistake." ”
"I don't want you to know what you are wrong, what I want is why! Why do you want to find out the origin of the stone tablet in the dense forest? Why do you want to find the descendants of the Jinsha clan? These have nothing to do with our Xiaonanguo in the first place! You check, what do you let the people in the dense forest think, when the envoy of the dense forest found me, I didn't know anything, how do you let me answer!"
"Your Highness! Mi Lin has never had anything to do with Li Chao, and Caiyun City has never had any stone tablets and rumors of the Jinsha clan for many years, Lord Jin and his group of subordinates sneaked into Caiyun City for a few days before they recognized Your Highness, and their intentions and intentions are really hard to guess! At the beginning of the establishment of the Xiaonan Kingdom, the people's hearts and state affairs were still unstable, and now such a thing suddenly appeared, so how can the subordinates be at ease, how can they let them act recklessly in Caiyun City and in this Jinsha River day after day!
Yao Jin was angry, she looked at Wang Xiang with a worried face, and she didn't know what to say to him, so she paused and said: "Jin Gongzi is my best friend, do you understand my best friend? He, and that dense forest country, they will not pose any threat or harm to our little southern country! Besides, what do you want you to speculate about the matter of the dense forest country? Let them take away the totem stele safely, we and the dense forest take the opportunity to establish friendly relations, and then go north from the South China Sea through the dense forest to do business, isn't it very good?" You're so smart, why can't you figure it out?"
"The vassals have never been worried about the Jungle Country! The vassals just don't worry about Lord Jin! Your Highness, the vassals really don't know how Lord Jin and you became close friends in the past, but the vassals have indeed found out some of Lord Jin's experiences in the dense forests! The vassals think that this person has to be guarded against!"
"Wang Xiang!" Yao Jin only felt his temples jump suddenly, and pointed at him angrily in his heart: "You, you even went to check on Jin Liancheng! Do you act according to my arrangement or do you make your own decisions, do you still have me in your eyes!"
Wang Xiang fell to his knees with a puff, but after knocking his head three times, he still stood up, with an expression of death: "Please listen to the words of His Royal Highness, after the ministers finish speaking, no matter how His Royal Highness wants to deal with it, Wang Xiang will never complain!"
Yao Jin saw that this guy was a nerd again, and he couldn't wait to go up and kick him a few times, so he endured it and endured it, and said angrily: "You get up and say! If it doesn't make sense, you will kneel here for me all night! Don't get up! Don't go home!"
"Your Highness Xie!" Wang Xiang hurriedly got up, didn't have time to brush off the sand on his knees, stepped forward two steps and whispered: "Your Highness, do you know that Lord Jin is the golden sword horse of the King of the Jungle?"
"What!" Yao Jin was shocked, "He, he's married?, married the princess of the jungle?!"
"Married is married, but the princess is dead!"
