190 Face Saint (1)
Kyoto Heijo, Imperial Palace.
It has been dozens of days since the envoys of the Xiangqiang Chishui Department entered the country, and the Southern Chu Imperial Court has been closely monitoring their movements. General Feng played an excerpt every other day to deliver a message to Beijing.
Emperor Zhao Ruize sat on the throne, patiently listening to the news of the old lady Xu Liqing's report to Wupingguan, only to hear that Xiang Qiang's Kedun and the prince were here, and there was a female general. However, in the past few days, the female general Ye Leyi traveled in micro-clothes and disappeared.
"Xiang Qiang's woman, can she go out to play and be a general?" The little emperor was very curious about Xiang Qiang's rules, and even had some yearning.
Xu Liqing's beard shook, "Barbarian tribe, it's not worth mentioning." ”
Zhao Ruize knew that Taifu followed the way of Confucius and Mencius and was well versed in etiquette. Strange traditions like Xiang Qiang, such as the son can marry his father's concubine, etc., these are unacceptable to people like the old lady.
But...... Xiang Qiang women can be generals and control their own destiny, which in Zhao Ruize's view, is not backward and barbaric rules, but the Central Plains people are bound by etiquette and law, and they have never been enlightened.
When Zhao Ruize was thinking about it, Mrs. Xu coughed heavily, "Holy Lord, Xiang Qiang's major general has been missing for several days, and it seems that the old minister should send troops to find it." ”
The female general on the prairie, will there be an accident? Zhao Ruize said disapprerovingly: "They are not in a hurry, what are we in a hurry." ”
"Holy Lord, diplomatic relations are no trivial matter, in case something happens to the young general in our Dachu, how can we explain to Yele Khan?"
The little emperor knew that what Taifu Xu said was right, so he had to obey: "Okay, according to what Taifu said, I ordered General Feng to send troops to find it." ”
Before the emperor's decree was delivered to Wuping Pass, Ye Leyi had already separated from Qin Luo. One of them went south to the capital, and the other went north to return to Wupingguan.
On the day of separation, Ye Leyi still didn't ask Qin Luo why he wanted to come to Nanchu, but looking at the direction he left, she also guessed that Qin Luo was going to the capital.
The two of them, I'm afraid they have to go the same way again, and they may meet again in the capital.
Qin Luo did not hide his whereabouts, he said indifferently: "Say goodbye now, from now on, we will be enemies." ”
Yeleyi smiled, "I seem to have said this. ”
When Yeleyi returned to Chishui, she said to Qin Luo, "When we meet again, we will be enemies." "Perhaps earlier, before they were together, Yereyi knew that sooner or later they would be on opposite sides.
Qin Luo said apologetically: "I'm afraid...... Can't be held accountable to you. ”
Ye Leyi liked Qin Luo's honesty, and she said indifferently: "So what? ”
With that, she suddenly hooked Qin Luo's neck and gently kissed the corner of his mouth.
The kiss was like a dragonfly touching water, fleeting. Qin Luo remembered the task he was about to complete, and his heart trembled, and he couldn't continue to respond to Ye Leyi. He knew that Yeleyi didn't care, but he did. He will feel guilty, and he will miss the woman he loves.
"Farewell!" Ye Leyi was the first to turn her head and leave, just as neatly as when she left Danyang City.
General Feng was holding the holy decree and had a headache, and when he didn't know where to find someone, Ye Leyi appeared by himself. When General Feng saw her, he put a large stone hanging in his heart back into his stomach. He and Lu Ziyu glanced at each other, and Lu Ziyu said, "The young general is back, we are worried about you, and we are going to send someone out to find it." ”
"Worried about what?" Ye Leyi frowned, she really didn't understand the cautious character of the Central Plains people. When she was a child, she went to climb Abu Shenglan Mountain, such a high snow-capped mountain, and she didn't come back for a few days and nights, her father didn't worry about it at all, and he wouldn't send someone to find it.
"Worried...... I am worried that the major general will accidentally get lost when he first enters the Central Plains. Lu Ziyu didn't dare to say anything about being deceived and killed, he asked euphemistically, "Where did the young general go?" ”
Yeleyi said ambiguously: "I...... Walked south. ”
Seeing that the young general didn't want to say more, Lu Ziyu didn't ask much, he changed the topic and said: "Young general, now we have stayed in Wuping Pass for too long, I don't know when we will ......."
Ye Leyi also thought of this problem, and she guessed in her heart that Qin Luo must have come to make trouble when he went to Kyoto. She couldn't delay any longer, otherwise she would really let Qin Luo disturb their marriage.
"Let's leave in two days." Ye Leyi said, "Please arrange it for General Feng, and my mother is unwell, I hope the general will send us more carriages and horses." ”
"This is natural, and we will arrange it for the imperial doctor." General Feng replied. Now that Ye Leyi and they have entered Southern Chu, Southern Chu will definitely send troops to guard along the way, in case they encounter any extreme people, they have to kill Xiang Qiang people to take revenge. Then the marriage between the two countries will be completely over.
After General Feng arranged everything, it was already two days later. Their Wupingguan generals held a banquet to see them off, and practiced for the Chishui Ministry. In addition to Wei Wu Kedun's side, who did not attend, Yereyi and Yelekon, as well as the generals of the Chishui Ministry, all participated.
The banquet was full of singing and dancing, and it was very lively. Ye Leyi was accustomed to seeing the bold dances on the grassland, and for the first time she appreciated the gentle and elegant dancing of the Central Plains women, and she watched it with relish. Yele Kanger sat on the side and ate food by himself, he stayed in Wuping Pass these days, except for the occasional visit to his mother, basically eating and drinking a day, after all, there are too many delicacies in the Central Plains, and there are many types, so that he never gets tired of eating.
"Thank you General Feng and all of you for your hospitality these days!" After three rounds of drinking, Ye Leyi took the initiative to raise his glass to General Feng and express his gratitude.
General Feng also raised his glass and saluted back: "The young general is polite, as long as His Royal Highness the prince and the young general are satisfied." ”
General Feng was sincere in his hospitality to them, after all, the Chishui Department and Southern Chu had never fought, and the two sides had no enmity. General Feng was also rescued by Ye Leyi, and he was extremely polite to the people of the Chishui Department these days.
The meal was kind and the atmosphere was excellent. The wine was poured out, the host and guest were happy, and finally it was time for the end of the song to disperse.
The next day, Yeleyi carefully supported her mother and sat in the spacious and comfortable carriage prepared by General Feng, while she and Yelekang were guarding the carriage. Ye Leyi led his younger brother and said goodbye to the generals of Wuping one by one. As the messenger who led the way, Lu Ziyu naturally wanted to go to Beijing with the Chishui Ministry. When he said goodbye to General Feng, he glanced at Feng Rubing meaningfully and said in a low voice: "I received a message from the flying pigeon, and he has arrived in Beijing safely. ”
Who he is, the two sides speak for themselves. General Feng breathed a long sigh of relief and nodded at Lu Ziyu.
The horse's hooves sounded, and everyone in the Chishui Department got on their horses. General Feng and other Wuping officials watched the team of the Chishui Department leave in a mighty manner.
