Chapter 195: Ji Run and Xiong Tuo
After about seven or eight days, I don't know whether the gold sore medicine given by the young man surnamed Zhang is really wonderful, or whether the witch physique of Mi Jiang is indeed different from ordinary people, in short, her injuries heal quickly, and after resting on the couch for a few days, she can stay and walk, and the speed of healing injuries is much faster than that of Pingyujun Xiong Amber at the beginning.
However, her face can obviously still be seen to lack blood, in this regard, Zhao Hongrun can't help much, at best, she can only order someone to go to the market to buy a few pork leg bones, add a few dates to make a thick soup, and let Mi Jiang drink a few bowls of each meal, and the right to replenish blood.
"Aren't you afraid that it will be bad for you when I heal from my injuries?"
It seems that this kind of question has never been asked by Mi Jiang, and Zhao Hongrun has never mentioned it, as if there is just one more person in the house, and there is no other change.
This strange phenomenon made it a little difficult for many generals under Zhao Hongrun's command to adapt, especially when Yan Mo, Shen Yu, Zhang Biao, Li Meng, Chu Heng and others saw Mi Jiang in the courtyard under the guidance of the sheep's tongue apricot, sitting on the stone bench with a mattress, holding the teacup in their hands and quietly watching the snow scene in the courtyard, the surprise in their hearts couldn't help but become a little stronger.
"Is it really her? Can't see ......."
"Don't be a man to look ......"
Whenever they saw Mi Jiang sitting quietly in the courtyard drinking tea, Yan Mo, Shen Yu and others would inevitably whisper for a while.
They couldn't believe that at this moment, she was as quiet and dignified as a rich daughter, and she was really the same person when she was the enemy of them with a short sword.
"His Royal Highness King Su will let her enter and leave the palace freely?" Zong Wei Zhang Biao asked with some incomprehension, in his opinion, a dangerous woman like Mi Jiang should be locked up with shackles.
Zong Wei Shen Yu smiled bitterly when he heard this, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Your Highness's thoughts are often not like ordinary people. …… But. Looking at this woman at the moment, she should be harmless......"
"Harmless?" Yan Mo, the general of the Ping Xuan Army, smiled bitterly, and involuntarily glanced at his right hand, and a little palpitation appeared in his eyes.
You must know that for a few days, although Shen Yu and others were indeed in a coma because of a drug-like powder, he was indeed poisoned. Because when he was stopping the little witch Mi Rui, he had grabbed Mi Rui's wrist, causing a large area of weird red particles to stir up in the palm of his hand.
Fortunately, Zhao Hongrun brought Mi Jiang back to Zhengyang County, and after Mi Jiang woke up, under her guidance, Zhao Hongrun ordered Shen Yu to find the antidote in Mi Jiang's cloth bag and apply it to Yan Mo's palm, which finally made the weird red spot gradually retreat.
However, what made Yan Mo a little crying and laughing was that he thought that he might lose an arm due to poisoning this time. Unexpectedly, Mi Jiang told him a cruel truth with an expressionless face: the toxicity of lacquered wood would only cause a red spot in his palm at most, plus the whole palm was stinging and difficult to move.
At that time, Yan Mo secretly rejoiced that he didn't grit his teeth in advance and make a strong man's wrist break move, which was too wise and witty!
And just as Yan Mo, Shen Yu and others walked through the pavilion corridor of the courtyard with strange faces. Mi Jiang, who was sitting quietly in the courtyard and watching the snow scene, also noticed Shen Yu and the others not far from her side, and turned her head to take a look.
Then. She drank hot tea to herself, and watched with a blank face as Shen Yu and the others disappeared to the end of the corridor.
"He'...... You really don't want to limit me?'
Whenever I think of this question, Mi Jiang always feels a little uncomfortable.
Although it is said that if the rumors are true, her life has been maintained with Zhao Hongrun at this moment, and she will be both prosperous and lossy. But it stands to reason that the vigilance against her should not be so lax against her.
"I don't think it's necessary, so I just don't ask...... What?'
Mi Jiang thought to himself.
At this moment, a figure rushed in near the gate of the mansion, taking advantage of the distraction of Mi Jiang. He hugged her sitting on the stone bench.
Mi Jiang subconsciously turned her head, only to find that it was her sister Mi Rui who threw herself into her arms.
"Sister, why are you here?"
I saw Mi Rui rubbing her sister's chest with her face, and said angrily: "Sister, I knew that you were taken captive by him, don't worry, I have moved the rescuers." ”
"Rescuer?"
Mi Jiang was stunned, and suddenly noticed that someone was approaching again, and suddenly raised his head to take a look, but was stunned to see Xiong Tuozheng, the monarch of Xuancheng, standing aside with a strange expression.
"Lord Xiong Taku?" Mi Jiang looked at the visitor in surprise, after all, the relationship between the visitor and their sister is not shallow.
"Ah Jiang, don't come unharmed."
Xuancheng Jun Xiong Tuo greeted with a wry smile, he didn't expect that after more than ten years of separation, he would reunite with these two cousins in this situation.
At this time, Mi Rui seemed to notice something, wrinkled her nose and sniffed on her sister's chest, and shouted in panic: "Sister, are you injured?" Did that guy hurt you? I'll go settle accounts with him! ”
"You give Sister An points!" Mi Jiang raised his hand angrily and gently knocked on his sister's head, and explained angrily: "This injury was not injured by Na Ji Run, but by someone else." After saying that, she turned her head to look at Xiong Tuo, the monarch of Xuancheng, and asked in surprise, "Why did Lord Xiong Tuo come?" ”
Xiong Tuo walked to the opposite side of Mi Jiang, sat down opposite the stone table, pointed at Mi Rui, and explained to Mi Jiang: "It was Xiao Rui who came to my city and cried to me, saying that you were captured by Ji Run......
Speaking of this, his expression couldn't help but be a little strange, after all, he knew the ability of Mi Jiang's cousin, but he couldn't stand the crying of another younger cousin, Mi Rui, so he ran over to take a look.
And Fang Cai, from a distance, saw Mi Jiang sitting in the courtyard drinking tea, and there was no Wei Bing guarding him at all, and Xiong Tuo had already realized that this matter was not as Mi Rui had speculated.
"Master Xiong Tuo misunderstood, Ji Run didn't do anything to me."
"Well, I can see it...... Xiong Tuo nodded, and then said with a strange face: "Actually, the main thing for me to come here is ...... Your Qing Gu, did you really give it to that Ji Run? ”
Mi Jiang's expression was a little unnatural when she heard this, she glanced at her sister who was pretending to be an ostrich in her arms, and said lightly: "That's roughly it." ”
"Hmm......"
Xiong Tuo nodded slightly, it was undeniable that his mood at the moment was a little complicated.
You know, just like Zhao Hongrun has gradually begun to notice that Xiong Tuo is not like the great nobles of Chu who only know how to enjoy luxury, but the ambitious Yi Jun. Xiong Tuo also gradually began to face up to Zhao Hongrun, an opponent who was more than a whole round younger than him, and he no longer dared to underestimate him.
Each of them gradually realizes that the other may become their rivals in the future.
Unexpectedly, in this case, there was a misunderstanding between Zhao Hongrun and Mi Jiang, which led to a layer of bad fate that was difficult to break.
This matter not only caused Zhao Hongrun to feel a headache, but Xiong Tuo was also embarrassed.
Xiong Tuo has never spoken to anyone. The most respected thing in his life is not his father Xiong Xu, who is currently sitting in the position of the king, but his uncle, Xiong Hao, the king of Runan.
It was the uncle who was willing to sacrifice himself wholeheartedly for the sake of strengthening their Great Chu; It was the uncle who wanted to weaken the power of the Xiong clan and strengthen the royal power, so that they could innovate and change the Great Chu and gradually become the only great power in the world.
Xiong Tuo still remembers the scene when he went to Shouying with the head of his uncle Runan Jun Xiong Hao and presented it to the nobles of the Xiong clan.
At that time in his ears. It seems to echo the earnest teachings of his uncle Runan Jun Xiong Hao when he instructed him on his deathbed and entrusted his unfulfilled ambitions to him.
What appeared in front of him was the sneering eyes of the vast majority of the Xiong clan fellow clans in the palace of Shouying Chu at the beginning.
At that time, Xiong Tuo realized that their Xiong clan might really be finished.
More and more Xiong clan members have lost the sharpness of their ancestors, even if it is his father who he once longed for and looked up to, Xiong Xu, the king of Chu.
"Master Xiong Tuo, my Royal Highness is invited!"
"......" Xiong Tuo said. Coming back to his senses from his memories, he turned his head to look at the two daughters in front of him, his uncle Runan Jun Xiong Hao. It is also the only bloodline. Then, he turned his head to look at Shen Yu, the sect guard who had come to the courtyard at some point.
"Labor leads the way."
"Please."
After appeasing the Mi Jiang and Mi Rui sisters, Xiong Tuo, the Jun of Xuancheng, followed Zong Wei Shen Yu and came to Zhao Hongrun's study without the slightest fear.
As he did a few days ago, Zhao Hongrun sat behind his desk and flipped through some books, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Xiong Tuo walking into the study. Not surprised, as if expected, he said: "A day or two later than this king expected, is this king misestimating the status of those sisters in your heart?" ”
"Nope." Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, smiled faintly, and said without concealment: "After this gentleman heard the news, he came non-stop. …… It should be said. Are you underestimating that girl's awe of her sister? She stayed in that hut for three or four days before walking to my city to ask for help. ”
Seeing that Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, explained to him in such detail, Zhao Hongrun was slightly surprised, and wondered: "I don't know when I gradually can't feel your hostility towards me......
"Maybe it's after Benjun learned that you fell for Ah Jiang's Qing Gu?"
"......" Zhao Hongrun turned a page of the book, frowned and asked, "That pair of sisters, is it so important to you?" ”
"Who knows."
It can be seen that Xiong Tuo didn't want to delve into this matter, so he quickly changed the topic.
"I heard that you are going to move the civilians under the rule of this monarch to your Wei country?"
"......" Zhao Hongrun paused when he heard the action of turning the book, and glanced at Xiong Tuo elusively.
Seeing this, Xiong Tuo waved his hand and explained: "Regardless of Ah Jiang's business. …… You have moved the civilians of several cities to Runan, and how can you hide it from me? ”
Seeing that the other party broke the matter, Zhao Hongrun no longer concealed it, put down the book and looked at Xiong Tuo, and said calmly: "Do you want to interfere?" ”
"Don't be in a hurry to turn your face, this son doesn't care about this." Xiong Tuo exhaled slightly, and said in a wistful tone: "Thanks to you, in order to redeem Xiong Hu and Xiong Qi, this son can be said to have scattered all his money and can't afford to support those people...... Speaking of this, he leaned forward slightly, and put forward the condition irrefutably: "I want rice grain!" Huge amount of rice grain! ”
『……』
Zhao Hongrun pursed his lips when he heard this: "Do you think this king will do such a thing as an enemy?" ”
"You will!"
I saw Xuancheng Jun Xiong Tuo staring at Zhao Hongrun intently, and said in a deep voice: "Because I will tell you clearly that my Chuxi is not richer than Chudong, and Liyang Jun Xiong Sheng is far more difficult to deal with than my son." ”
"What did he say...... What do you mean?'
Zhao Hongrun's fingers tapped on the desk, falling into deep thought. (To be continued.) )
