Chapter 3 King Zhao returns home
"Then does your father like Yoshisei?" Zu Ti asked.
"Of course I don't like it, my father is kind-hearted, and he can't get used to his behavior, and often blames him, but he is protected by his mother, so he has no fear and no fear."
"What about your eldest brother?"
"My eldest brother's name is Yiquan, he is a good person, he is naturally kind, he loves me very much, he has the style of a father, and the people of Loulan think that it is natural for the eldest brother to inherit the throne in the future, and it is also what all the people of Loulan are looking forward to."
"But the princess and the national teacher conspired to let their own son inherit the throne, my father is getting old, and my eldest brother is honest and doesn't know that danger is approaching."
"One day, the national teacher asked me to hand over the golden seal, because the Loulan Kingdom needs the golden seal to inherit the throne, otherwise, Yicheng will not be able to inherit the throne."
"Of course I won't hand it over, even if I die, I won't give it to them, as long as they can't get the golden seal, and Yicheng can't become a king, it won't be unfavorable to my eldest brother and father for the time being."
"I was very scared in the palace, afraid that they would kill my father and them once they got the golden seal, so I hid the golden seal and the secret decree, and secretly ran out with four personal maids and two guards, but on the way they were killed by the four guards who betrayed my father in order to protect me, I rode a fast horse alone and didn't dare to stop, all the way to Luoyang, thinking that they would not chase here, but I didn't expect that I would chase them as soon as I arrived, fortunately I met the eldest brother, otherwise I would have been caught by them and handed over to the drug concubine."
"So are the princesses and national teachers already in control of the entire Loulan?"
"Loulan's 5,000 troops are all under the command of the national division, and he also approves himself the general of the four gates, as long as Jin Xi arrives, he can help his son to take the throne."
"Then your situation is very dangerous, the Imperial Court's Western Regions Governor's Mansion is located in your Loulan City, why don't you ask them for help?" Zu Ti asked anxiously.
"The Western Regions Changshi Mansion has long lost the majesty of the past, only Tuntian as a business, just ask about political affairs, in their eyes, who is the king has nothing to do with them, anyway, they have to be controlled by the Great Jin, the only way is to borrow the soldiers of the imperial court to Loulan to abolish the princess and the national teacher."
"What are you going to do now, how can you protect yourself?"
"I don't know martial arts, I haven't even stepped on an ant to death, how can I have the ability to protect myself, and now that I'm in Luoyang, I don't know what to do." Yunru cried aggrievedly as she spoke, and the more she cried, the more sad she became.
Zu Ti was born chivalrous, and he couldn't see others suffering, so a desire for protection rose in his heart, and he thought about it and said: "I think Miss Yunru will follow me first, and when things turn around, I will send someone to send you back, and no one will want to hurt you with me." ”
"Really? Brother Zu, I have no relatives here, and the package has been lost, and now I am penniless, and I am being chased and killed, it is really a blessing for Loulan to meet the eldest brother, please accept Yunru's worship. "Kneel down when you have spoken.
Zu Ti hurriedly stopped and said, "Don't do this, I won't care about you if you do this again." ”
Yunru had no choice but to give up, and she said with an innocent face: "Big brother, I shouted at you just now, are you angry?" ”
Zu Ti deliberately changed his voice and said, "No, how can I be angry." ”
Yun Ru glanced at her and said, "Seeing that you said so reluctantly, you must be angry with me." ”
Zu Ti thought that she was in trouble and came here, and everything was still on her, and said: "No, really not, let's go." ”
The two of them entered the city and came to the house, and just opened the door and entered the courtyard, and one of them also entered the door, this person was a young man of the same age as Zu Li.
He wears a golden crown of hair, his face is like white jade, he has the red and phoenix eyes of a woman, his eyebrows are like a crescent moon, his mouth is like a zhu, he is tall, he wears a white shirt, and he is a beautiful man.
His name is Liu Kun, is a good friend of Zu Ti as a brother, both of them are from Jizhou in the north, three years ago to study in Taixue, after knowing each other, the two found that they were like-minded with each other, and they hated each other, so the two rented a house in the south of the city to live together, practiced martial arts together, were inseparable, and acted chivalrous together, and were called "double heroes" by the people at a young age.
Three years passed in a flash, and the two left Taixue at the same time, and under the recommendation of Sima Lun, the king of Zhao, they entered the Sili Mansion as an errand catcher.
The two of them are worried about the world, have lofty ambitions, and are determined to serve the country and the people, and be able to be a general and do an earth-shattering career.
Liu Kun asked, "Big brother, is this girl ......?"
"Let me introduce you to you, this is Miss Yunru, the third princess of Loulan Kingdom...... This is my brother Liu Kun. ”
Yun Ru Shili called Brother Liu.
"Ah, princess? How could it be ......"
Zu Ti told Liu Kun what happened just now, and Liu Kun comforted Yunru and said: "Miss Yunru, you can live here with peace of mind, with our brother here, no one will want to touch a finger of you." ”
Yun Ru saw that Liu Kun was as righteous as Zu Li, and her heart was moved again, and she couldn't help but read silently: "It must be that the queen mother has a spirit in the sky, so that I can meet two good people who can be relied on when I am in trouble, and the queen mother, you must bless me to return to Loulan safely and get rid of the poisonous concubine and the national teacher." ”
Liu Kun proposed: "Brother Zu, Miss Yunru is new to Luoyang, why don't you go to Jiangyue Tower at noon today to have a meal for her, so as to fulfill the friendship of our landlords." ”
"Okay, I'm in for a treat." Zu Ti said briskly.
"No, it's not good, it's inevitable to trouble the two big brothers in the future......"
"Yunru, you can go, not only to eat, but also to buy a piece of clothing, in the future, you want to live here for a long time, follow the local customs, just wear the clothes of Middle-earth."
Yun Ru saw that her dress was indeed incompatible with Middle-earth, not to mention that she didn't tell others that the third princess lived in Zu Ti's house, so she agreed.
Jiangyue Tower is the largest restaurant in Luoyang, a three-storey small building, red wall glazed tiles, luxurious style, a pair of stone lions in front of the door are inside the eight characters to watch the door.
The three characters of Jiangyuelou above the gate are said to come from the Wang Kuang pen of the Langya Wang family, the font is strong and powerful, and it is three points into the wood.
The thick columns on both sides are engraved with a couplet, the upper one is "the wind blows lightly all over the first floor of the moon", and the lower one is "the wine is drunk and poured half a river spring".
Just about to enter the door, there are more than a dozen horsemen galloping into the city from the Kaiyang Gate, the people on the horses are all dressed as officers and soldiers, the front one is holding a big flag, the word "Zhao" is written on it, the armor is bright, holding a horse whip, riding a horse and shouting: "King Zhao returns to the house to avoid idlers!"
While shouting, he ran along the middle royal road to the mansion of King Zhao in Wenyang, these dozen horsemen and horses were the cavalry that opened the way for Sima Lun, the king of Zhao, and there were a hundred infantry running behind, and two sergeants stopped every ten paces, standing on the side of the street with halberds.
Whether it is a peddler or pawn, a businessman, a nobleman, or a lowly person, etc., they all panicked and avoided it early, not daring to slack off in the slightest, and the people at the feet of the Son of Heaven have long been accustomed to this.
Sima Lun's chariot slowly entered the city surrounded by brightly armored guards, and the gorgeous chariots and heavily guarded soldiers all showed the royal honor, sacredness and inviolability!
Some people next to him whispered: "King Zhao has made the pass a miasma, and this battle is faster than a rabbit!" ”
"Yes, yes, alas, who made the family a prince? Even if there is a mistake again, he will still be added to the rank when he comes back. ”
Zu Qi Liu Kun looked at each other and shook his head, Liu Kun said, "Big brother, let's go in." As he spoke, he was about to enter Jiang Yue Tower.
But Zu Qi didn't mean to go in, Liu Kun smiled and said: "Big brother, are you afraid of having a treat, okay, I'll invite you this time, let's go." ”
Zu Ti pointed to the front with his hand and said, "Liu Kun, look at the ...... over there!" ”
