Chapter 198: Passing the Word
Xu Ji entered the room for a while, and noticed that Xue Jinyan was different tonight, he didn't play with weapons in his hands, he didn't wear armor on his body, he was wearing a long skirt, and the red candles on the table were shining, which looked much more normal - for her, it should be said that it was abnormal.
But she still doesn't apply powder on her face, and her heroic spirit has not diminished.
"Miss Jin Shao, I have something to discuss with you." Xu Ji didn't dare to praise his wife at will, so he simply turned a blind eye.
"Hmm." Xue Jinyao's tone didn't change.
"You are very familiar with Mrs. Ning and Niu Tiannu."
"Of course."
"Can you give her a gift?"
"Huh?"
"Don't get me wrong, this gift is more special - I'm going to send Empress Dowager Luan out of the city."
"It's better to kill it directly."
Xu Ji said with a smile: "The general will not kill, let alone a woman who has no power to restrain the chicken?" ”
"She doesn't have the power to restrain chickens, but she has the ability to seduce men."
"To be fair, Empress Dowager Luan didn't do anything, it was King Ning who gave birth to the idea himself, and I doubt that this idea is true or false."
"It's true, Ning Bang'er found someone to teach him etiquette, although he didn't say why, but everyone understands that it is definitely not for Niu Tiannu."
"Ning Wang Xueli?" Xu Ji really didn't know what to say.
Xue Jinyan suddenly became impatient, "You want to pass a message to Niu Tiannu, don't come to me, I know her well, but not too well." You have someone ready to do with you, just look for her. ”
"There are indeed a lot of soldiers around me, I don't know who is with ......"
"Hey, who said soldiers, I mean the people in the next room." Xue Jin shook his finger, his face was not only impatient, but also a little annoyed, glaring at his husband, if there was another knife in his hand, he would be able to match it.
Xu Ji bowed his hand to leave, and when he arrived at the door, he suddenly realized something, turned around and said, "Please leave the door for me with Miss Jin Shao, I will rest here tonight." ”
Xue Jin snorted, did not agree, and did not refuse.
Xu Ji thought that the person in the next room was the nurse of the young son of the incarnated king, so he knocked on the door lightly so as not to disturb the child.
The lights in the house came on, and after a while, someone whispered, "Who's outside?" ”
"King Wu, I have something to tell you." Xu Ji replied.
The door opened, and the two people inside and outside the threshold looked surprised, Xu Ji was especially surprised, "You...... Why are you here? ”
The person who lives in it is not a nursing mother, but Feng Juniang, who "killed" many husbands.
"I've always been here. Didn't King Wu come to me? ”
Xu Ji glanced at Xue Jinyao's room, thinking that she had made a mistake, and was a little embarrassed for a while.
Feng Juniang quickly returned to normal and said with a smile: "It was the Golden Holy Maiden who asked King Wu to come to me?" There is a mother...... There may not be a daughter. King Wu, please come in. ”
"You are very familiar with Mrs. Ning Wang?"
"Niu Tiannu is my godmother, of course I know it very well."
Niu Tiannu is serious and silent, and Feng Juniang is not a person at all, she will be a stepmother and goddaughter, Xu Ji can't understand.
Feng Juniang was charming, and when she called her, she turned her head sideways and said, "The door is open, and King Wu is at his own convenience." ”
Xu Ji had no evil thoughts in his heart, stepped into the house, hesitated, felt that the cold wind behind him was too strong, and still closed the door.
"How could Mrs. Ning ...... Adopt you as a righteous daughter? "Xu Ji has to ask to understand.
Feng Juniang stood at the table, just the right distance from the oil lamp, which could make her increase her appearance by three points, "To put it simply, my third husband is a close subordinate of King Ning and his godson, so I will recognize Niu Tiannu as my godmother." After my husband died, the next few husbands were all chosen by the godmother, it should start from the sixth or the seventh, the godmother was a little scared and didn't care about it anymore, but she was still very good to me. I also go to greet her often. ”
Feng Juniang suddenly laughed, different from the previous smile, a little more ridiculous.
"I'd like to ask you to pass on a message for me." Xu Ji didn't smile.
"King Wu is strange, I think of the previous husbands, and they all want me to please my godmother. But King Wu is a little special, you didn't seem to know that I was here before you came, so you really want to spread the word, not use me to benefit yourself. ”
"Pleasing Niu Tiannu is nothing more than to please King Ning, I am the same king as him, there is no need to please him." Xu Ji suddenly felt that this was not a good idea, Feng Juniang was not very credible, so he said: "Forget it, it's not a big deal, let's talk about it later." ”
Xu Ji turned around to leave, Feng Juniang moved quickly, dodged and chased to the front, leaned against the door, and said with a smile: "Just pass on a word, I'm willing to help." ”
"No need, it doesn't matter if that sentence is passed on or not."
Feng Juniang refused to give way, turned her head slightly, and pointed to the next door with her gaze, "The Golden Holy Maiden asked King Wu to come to me?" ”
"Yes."
"That is, the Golden Saintess thinks that I can pass on the word, and King Wu doesn't believe me, at least he can believe the Golden Saintess, right? She is a real woman and never plays tricks. ”
"Okay, please go and tell Mrs. Ning early tomorrow morning, after nightfall tomorrow, I will send Empress Dowager Luan out of the city, she doesn't have to worry about this matter anymore."
Feng Juniang looked a little surprised, but she didn't care about this kind of thing, she just wanted to win the favor of King Wu, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be such a simple sentence, okay, I'll go to see my godmother early in the morning." The godmother must be very happy and will be grateful to King Wu. ”
Xu Ji hoped that Feng Juniang would be as knowledgeable and outspoken as she was when she first met, "Will Mrs. Ning Wang only be grateful?" ”
King Wu asked seriously, Feng Juniang looked at him a few times, confirmed that Mei Gong was indeed invalid, then stepped forward and left the door panel, thought for a moment, and replied: "King Wu is going to blame his godmother, right?" ”
"How could you have such an idea?"
Feng Juniang said with a smile: "King Wu will pass the word first, and then give it away, in the eyes of outsiders, it is the godmother who begged King Wu to send the Queen Mother away, and the rumors are together, and King Ning has to believe it if he doesn't believe it." ”
"King Ning will come and ask me."
"Hehe, I can understand this kind of thing, King Ning came to ask, and King Wu said, 'This matter has nothing to do with Godmother, it's all my idea, King Ning must not blame Godmother', the more King Wu defended Godmother, the more King Ning will believe that it is true."
Xu Ji also smiled, "I won't talk like that." ”
"That's pretty much it. King Wu rest assured, I will not sabotage your plan, and I will help you fan the flames and make the godmother and King Ning more suspicious. King Wu don't think I'm not filial, there are a lot of righteous daughters of my godmother, since the husbands she picked for me died, she is not as good as before, and I am a broom star in my heart. Since I have returned to King Wu, of course I have to stand on King Wu's side. ”
"Uh-huh." Xu Ji replied vaguely and said goodbye, "Then thank you, you can rest, I won't bother." ”
"King Wu is leaving?"
"It's late at night, I have to ...... Rest, you have to rest too. ”
Feng Juniang said with a smile: "King Wu is such a smart person, why can't he be enlightened about this kind of thing?" The Golden Holy Maiden asked you to come, but she didn't just ask me to pass on a word for you. ”
"No, I don't think she meant anything else."
"With all due respect, I heard that the wedding night between King Wu and the Golden Saintess was not going well, and Huang Tieniang had to supervise it personally......" Huang Tieniang is already dead, Feng Juniang's face will still change slightly when she mentions her name, "I think the Golden Saintess wants King Wu to learn something from me, she looks bold, but in fact, her skin is very thin, and she is embarrassed to come and ask me, so please ask King Wu to ......"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Xu Ji gently pushed Feng Juniang away and pushed the door out.
Feng Juniang was so stumbling that she didn't have time to stop King Wu, so she had to watch him leave, she was annoyed and confused in her heart, she stood for a long time before closing the door and turning off the lights, going to bed tossing and turning, and muttering: "King Wu's ambition is really not small, such a man-I must catch it." ”
It didn't take long for the sound of the bed frame next door, and Feng Juniang was puzzled, "Is King Wu blind?" ”
Xu Ji returned to Xue Jin's room, she had already turned off the lights and lay down, Xu Ji went to bed in the dark, and was immediately hugged by a pair of strong arms, he refused to give in and tried his best to cater to him.
There are no sweet words, no gentle touches and temptations, the two seem to be doing hand-to-hand combat, how much strength they have.
When they were done, the two were so tired that they couldn't speak, so they fell asleep and clasped hands together.
Early the next morning, Feng Juniang went to see her godmother Niu Tiannu, and Xu Ji wrote a letter and ordered it to be sent to the King of Jin.
An hour later, Feng Juniang came back first and said to King Wu: "Godmother said, 'Got it'." ”
"Just those three words?"
"Well, godmother doesn't like to talk much."
Xu Ji frowned slightly, Ning Baoguan is often unpredictable, and Niu Tiannu is even more unpredictable.
Feng Juniang stared at King Wu for a while, and said with a smile: "King Wu won't think that I can only pass on words, right?" ”
"What else did you do?"
"I didn't do anything, anyway, when I left, my godmother was already completely convinced that King Wu sent Empress Dowager Luan away because of her, and King Ning's subordinates also saw me go to see her. Godmother is like this, her face is cold and her heart is hot, she only says three words on her lips, and she is actually very grateful to King Wu in her heart. ”
With Xu Ji's rough understanding of Niu Tiannu, he felt that there was no need for Feng Juniang to talk more, but he still smiled: "Thank you, Mrs. Feng, you go and rest." ”
Feng Juniang didn't want to be too urgent, so she said goodbye and left, and when she walked to the door, she helped the door and said, "King Wu beware." ”
"Watch out for what?"
"Beware of hens crowing, it is said to be a bad omen."
"You're talking about Si Chen?"
"King Wu is a scholar, and he knows more than me." Feng Juniang left.
"This woman ......" Xu Ji shook his head, thinking about finding someone to send her out, although Feng Juniang has the reputation of Kefu, there are always people who covet her beauty and will not be afraid.
The only thing Xu Ji has to be careful about is that if Feng Juniang's new husband really dies, there must be rumors that he deliberately wants to "kill" this person.
Lei Dajun hurriedly came in, clenched his fists and said, "Ruling the government, the King of Jin has sent someone over." ”
"Please come in."
It was Liu Youzhong and Tan Wuwu who came.
Tan nodded meaninglessly, didn't say anything, Liu Youzhong asked as soon as they met: "Are the rumors true?" ”
"Absolutely." Xu Ji invited the two righteous brothers to sit down, "So the Jizhou soldiers can rest assured that they can attack the eastern capital." ”
Liu Youzhong said blankly: "He Rongbu is going south, and Jinyang is in danger...... King Jin's brother-in-law, Zhou Yuanbin, and Lord He Rongbu are world friends, so they should be over there at the moment, how can they ......"
"I want to come to Yecheng to give more benefits."
Although Zhou Yuanbin is the son-in-law of the Shen family, after all, he is only a businessman, and the benefits he can provide cannot be compared with Yecheng.
Liu Youzhong sighed and raised his head, "King Jin asked me to tell King Wu that the Jin army needs to return to the state as soon as possible, and King Wu has a clever plan." In any case, the Jin army was still a member of the righteous army, and recognized King Wu as the army master, and in order to show sincerity, the King of Jin left General Tan behind to serve a small effort. ”
This is an unexpected joy, Tan Wuxian has no expression, no joy and no annoyance.
Supporting the King of Jin, provoking King Ning, and winning over King Liang and King Shu, Xu Ji no longer thinks about competing for the entire righteous army, as long as it is more than seventy percent, he is satisfied, and he can rely on this to fight with the officers and soldiers.
