Chapter 21: The excitement is irrepressible
In the quiet early morning, the lights in the Chengming Hall were dim. It was a time of silence, and the early hours of the winter were both hot and cold for the guards. Those who are not on duty can sleep in warm beds, but those on duty will stare at the darkest night before dawn, guarding this majestic palace.
Gong Xiaoer is a waiter, a month ago Qiandu gave him a good job - raising pigeons, I don't know where these pigeons come from, but every pigeon that flies back from a distance has a small foot tube tied to its leg. Gong Xiaoer's task is to prepare the water, let the pigeons eat, and then send the bamboo pipe to the hands of the eunuch Qiandu Gong as soon as possible.
The night is the hardest, and Gong Xiaoer's head dozes off little by little like a chicken pecking rice. Fourteen or fifteen-year-old children are the most snooze. But Gong Xiaoer didn't dare to sleep, and his predecessor slept because he was on duty. Then he was killed by Qiandu in public, and more than 100 boards were broken. Qiandu Gong was gracious and let those who carried out the executions hit them on the head with a stick. The brains were all out, and Gong Xiaoer was so frightened that he peed on his pants for several nights.
From then on, even at night, I was sleepy. He did not dare to sleep, and he had silver needles in his pocket. There was also cold water in the corner of the house, which was not only the pigeon's water but also his face. If you are really sleepy, you can wash your face with cold water. If you are sleepy, you can only prick your thigh with a silver needle and pierce the back of your hand. Anyway, it hurts there and sticks there. As long as he can keep himself from sleeping, he can't care so much. But fortunately, he has spent the past month safely. However, not a single pigeon flew in the pigeon cage.
was so sleepy, Gong Xiaoer seemed to have just slept for a while. There seems to be someone in front of him, it's not good, it's a thousand degrees of Gong. Gong Xiaoer woke up in fright, sweating all over his body. Hurriedly ran to the cold water basin in the corner of the house and washed his face, and suddenly he heard the sound of "coo" and "coo".
Following the prestige, a gray pigeon with white spots was eating millet in the pigeon cage. From time to time, he also dips his beak in water to comb his feathers. On the pink claws, a small bamboo tube is tied.
Jing Er slept soundly today, Qiandu told him. The pigeon system has been preliminarily completed, and the pigeon station has not yet been established in other places, but Pingliang has been completed. Sent to Pingliang Xizuo, carrying five carrier pigeons, has successfully blended into Pingliang City. As long as there is any wind and grass, don't wait for ten days and half a month. The slowest is that Xianyang will receive the message in three days. In fact, this is also due to the papermaking skills of the Yun family, and there is no paper This thing carrier pigeon can not carry silk cloth or bamboo slips.
It was snowing in the northwest, and the Donghu army had no way to retreat. There is only one way for them to live, and that is to conquer Pingliang and then occupy Pingliang. In Jing Er's view, a dog-eat-dog show is about to kick off. And he's not just a spectator. is still the last person to pick peaches, and the 300,000 wolf-like Qin army is waiting for the day under the leadership of Duke Qi. As long as Jing Eryi gives an order, he will rush to Pingliang to destroy the Donghu people and capture the fortress in the north.
The trouble that haunted him in his soul, Yun Yue, will disappear from this world forever. History will not remember him, history will not write him. History should be remembered, and it is oneself that needs to be written about in a big way. The King of Great Qin - Ying Zheng. As for Yun Yue, writing his books would be thrown into the pile of old papers. Then, a fire burns out. Those who tell Yunyue's story will be arrested. It was a good idea to bury them alive, and since they liked to sing the praises of a dead man, they would go down to earth and sing their praises.
"The king, the king......!" Jing Er, who was in a daze, suddenly heard Qiandu's voice, and he knew that something was wrong. Otherwise, Qiandu would not have woken him up at this time if he was crazy.
"What's the matter?" Jing Er didn't get up, and asked with his eyes closed. Years of career as King Qin have allowed him to develop a temperament that is not shocked everywhere.
"King Qiyu, Yunhou...... Yunhou seems to be missing. Ai Ai said. At this time, he didn't want to wake Jing Er up. From Jing Er's tone, he knew that Jing Er was very unhappy. Usually the person who makes him unhappy will die a very ugly death. After following this master for many years, Qiandu knew that he was more difficult to serve than the previous king.
"What?" Jing Er bounced up from the bed in an instant, and his half-squinted eyes were wide. looked at Qiandu in disbelief, and Qiandu was a little at a loss in fright.
The palace attendants in the room were all sent out, and at this time, there were only Jing Erqiandu and Jing Er's personal palace people in the room. This palace person has already been accepted by Jing Er, and he can be regarded as a trustworthy person.
"Just after the news that the flying pigeon came back, Yunhou went to the Donghu front line to inspect the military situation. As a result, he was attacked by the Donghu people on the way, and Yunhou fell off the cliff. Follow Yunhou to escort Zheng Bin back to Pingliang, there is an inside line of ours. Now that the news of Yunhou's attack by the Donghu people has spread, the hearts of Pingliang people are in turmoil, and I heard that Yunhou's wife, Zhang Jia, the princess of Qi State, has already gone to Li Si and Wei Fang with the eldest prince. It is said that the noise is very strong. Pingliang seems to be about to change! Qiandu said as he handed the note from the flying pigeon to Jing Er.
Jing Er carefully read the note several times, and was stunned for a moment. The scene that I dreamed of thousands of times in my dreams actually came true today. At this time, Jing Er was excited and excited. His eyes sparkled, and he sat on the couch not even knowing what he was thinking. If you really want to use one word to describe Jing Er's performance at this time, Soul Flying Outside seems to be a good adjective.
"The king, the king......!" Qiandu waited for a long time, and couldn't help but be shocked when he saw that Jing Er still didn't react. I found a wet cloth towel, dipped it in water, and wiped it on Jing Er's face.
"Hahaha......! Hahaha......! Jing Er, who was put cold water on his face, finally came to his senses, and the soul that came out of the body seemed to be returned to the body. A heart-palpitating, night-owl-like laugh erupted from his mouth.
Qiandu glanced at the person in the personal palace, and screamed in his heart. This king can't be crazy!
"Good, good, good! Qiandu, bring the wine! After laughing, Jing Er got off the couch excitedly. Walking barefoot on the floor. The close-fitting palace man carried the heels behind him, and finally let Jing Er put them on.
Qiandu searched for a long time, and only found half a bottle of Yunjia steamed wine behind the case. This thing has a very high degree, and Qiandu is hesitating to hand it over to Jing Er. Jing Er stepped forward and grabbed it. "Goo-doo" "Goo-doo" drink half a bottle of steamed wine in one gulp.
Can you drink steamed wine in this way? Qiandu is looking forward to Jing Er's follow-up reaction, as expected, it should be vomiting first and then gibberish, as long as you don't hit people and destroy things, then it's OK.
Jing Er, who was the eunuch, didn't guess correctly, and Jing Er, who drank the steamed wine, was so excited that he was like a fox who had just eaten a fat chicken. Turning left and right in the main hall, he didn't know if it was excitement or alcohol, and his face turned red. Even in the pupils, the bloodshot is clearly visible.
"King, take care of your health!" Qiandu followed Jing Er and has been serving Jing Er for five years. This is the first time I've seen Jing Er's expression, if it weren't for such a big news, Qiandu would definitely think that Jing Er was crazy.
"It doesn't matter! Anyway! You go and call Mr. Gongsun! Jing Er felt that he needed to pour out his excitement now. Qiandu is not suitable, he is just a servant. Gongsun Long is more suitable, this guy and himself are also teachers and friends. And he is extremely loyal, vowing not to step out of the Chengming Palace in this life.
"Whoa!" Qiandu heard that Jing Er was going to find Gongsun Long, so he was relieved. This king, this time it is finally normal.
"Forget it, we still have an apse thatched house. With such important news, I want to tell Mr. Gongsun in person. As soon as Qiandu walked to the door, he was stopped by the excited Jing Er. The excited Jing Er didn't even change his clothes, so he walked straight to the apse. was so shocked that the palace people hurriedly chased after Jing Er with a mink fur and let Jing Er put it on.
Gongsun Long drank a little wine last night, and fell asleep in the middle of the night with Mei Ji Hu, who was rewarded by Jing Er. The painful Gongsun Long wanted to commit suicide, but the rooster didn't crow just now. What is this Lord of Great Qin doing here? Could it be that Mei Ji is tired of playing with herself and wants to play back to the mountain?
The boss summoned Gongsun Long and didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly packed up and followed the inner servant to the grass house to see His Majesty the Great Jing Er.
"Mr. Gongsun, there is a great event today!" Jing Er said excitedly.
"I wonder what makes the king so happy?" Gongsun Long was quite surprised, Jing Er had been a little moody and moody all the time. Unexpectedly, today it is unusual. When he told Gongsun Long, he was quite incompatible.
"Guess?" Jing Er suddenly showed a childlike naughty face, which made people have to re-examine this emperor. After all, he was only a seventeen-year-old boy.
"Uh......!" Gongsun Long was a little big-headed, and God knows why Jing Er was so happy. However, Gongsun Long reacted so quickly that he immediately grasped the crux of the matter. Why is Jing Er so happy, that is naturally what he cares about the most. If Jing Er's most concerned things are listed on a list, then Yun Yue must be at the top.
"Although Weichen doesn't know why the king is so happy, it must have something to do with Yunhou. I don't know if Wechen guessed right! Gongsun Long bowed to Jing Eryi and said.
"Hahaha, Mr. Gongsun is really a capable minister. See what this is? Jing Er said, and handed the flying pigeon from Pingliang to Gongsun Long.
Gongsun Long unfolded it and looked at it, and immediately stood on the spot. The expression on one face changed dramatically, "Yunhou is dead?" ”
"The news of Yunhou's death has not come out, but this icy and snowy disappearance is in the mountains. I'm afraid it's more than lucky. Qiandu bowed and replied.
