Chapter 758: The So-Called Truth
The first rays of light were gradually showing in the dark sky in the east, the night had passed, and dawn was coming.
However, the soldiers who survived after a night of fighting may still have room to enjoy the dawn, but those who have experienced too many things in one night do not have that kind of leisure at all. At this moment, hearing the familiar voice, everyone looked towards the place where the voice came from, and when they saw clearly the two old men who came one after the other, the little fat man couldn't help but shout.
"Yuexiang, why are you here?"
It was not only the old lady Yue who came, but also the general Zhu Xiaobei who accompanied him. Those who are familiar with them can clearly find that they have only been seen for a few months, Zhu Xiaobei has hardly changed much, and he is still a strong old general, but the old lady Yue, who has always been old and strong, is covered with silver threads in her hair, and her wrinkles are like knife carvings, and she seems to be much older.
However, even if he showed his old age, the old lady's pace was still steady, her face was not tired, and her eyes were as sharp as a falcon, just like his sharper words at this time.
"Old man, I am very calculating, but today's battle can be fought to this point, which is the result of the wrestling of all parties to the end, and the result of mistakes. Great Wu had the upper hand, and the Northern Yan Emperor was defeated and killed, to be honest, even when I first planned with Old Man Zhu, I didn't expect it to go so smoothly. Among them, His Royal Highness the King of Jin, you have helped a lot because of the situation. ”
"You're here in person!" Xiao Jing stared at Old Lady Yue first, and asked in a deep voice, "Could it be that the Son of Southern Wu has also arrived in Bazhou?" ”
"Bazhou is such a small place, hiding General Dai and his 2,500 men and horses is already the limit, if the emperor comes, there are countless guards and pro-army, where can it be tolerated? The prince can get rid of Hu Cong and follow lightly, because Ah Xu can still afford this responsibility, but the emperor and the East Palace can't be in danger at the same time! ”
Xiao Jingxian didn't stop there, but aggressively asked: "So, the Emperor of Southern Wu is in the Beijing Daimyo's Mansion?" ”
Old lady Yue did not answer Xiao Jingxian's question, but said unhurriedly: "The big eagle before was indeed released by me. ”
The little fat man was startled, but a hand pressed on his shoulder. He looked sideways and saw that it was Yan Xu who was shaking his head at him, so he swallowed hard and swallowed all the questions back for the time being. It's just that the suspicion in his heart has reached its peak. Did the old lady Yue already know about him and Yue Qianqiu? Is there a problem with his background?
And Xiao Jingxian's face changed suddenly, and he was about to ask a question, but a sharp voice on the side took the lead: "The person who was burned to death in the fire in Jinling was Xiao Lele?" ”
If Yue Qianqiu was still awake at this time, he would definitely ask this most critical question like Xiao Qingqing at this time. And whether it is Xiao Jingxian, the little fat man, or even the guards of the East Palace who have nothing to do with the past, the soldiers who know that it is easy to cause trouble for themselves when they are nosy, at this time, they are either staring at the old lady Yue, or quietly pricking up their ears.
However, under the gaze of many expectations, the old lady Yue just said lightly: "It's not too early, clean up the battlefield, sort out the team, if you have anything to say, go back to Bazhou City." This time the matter is so big, it is impossible for me to push the old man, so I will naturally tell the world. Before that, I will always give you an explanation to Qianqiu. ”
Seeing my father again after eight years, Yue Xiaosi, who is a son, is really excited and angry, but he has to show hostility, otherwise he will not fit his character as the king of Lanling.
He coughed heavily, and then said stiffly: "What does Yue Xiang mean, let me and Ah Rong's father and son also go to Bazhou City?" You know, just now Prince Wu promised to return the emperor's body to my Dayan! ”
Father and son can't recognize each other when they see each other, and the old lady Yue's mood is naturally not much better, not to mention, the son keeps saying that he stands on Beiyan's position. He laughed, and then said coldly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince agreed, but I returned the body to you at this time, how do you leave?" Will the Shroud of Horse Leather bring back your Son of Heaven? After arriving at the small funeral in Bazhou City, make a good coffin, and it's not too late to hit the road. Your crown prince of Beiyan is still in Nanjing, is it possible that without you, he will not be able to sit firmly in his seat? ”
The little fat man endured and endured, and at this time he couldn't help but interject: "Yue Xiang, Emperor Beiyan wrote an edict before his death, saying that it was ...... It is said that it is passed on to the twelve princesses! It's the twelve princesses who like Qianqiu! ”
The five words "like Chiaki" are redundant!
I don't know how many people present have such a thought in their hearts, after all, no one may know who the princess of Beiyan Yue Kingdom is, but who the twelve princesses of Beiyan are, everyone knows that it is the golden branch and jade leaf who chased Yue Qianqiu to Jinling. So, when the old lady Yue received the bloodstained silk edict from the little fat man's hand, he only glanced at his brows and twisted it into a knot.
"I really didn't expect ......" After spitting out these five words with unknown meanings, the old lady Yue said angrily, "There has never been an empress in this world, and the Emperor of Beiyan is so ingenious, so he is not afraid of Beiyan causing chaos?" Or is it that you, the king of Lanling County, are willing to assist an empress who no one else recognizes in the future? After this edict is passed out, do you think others will admit it? ”
Speaking of which, he didn't give Yue Xiaosi another chance to argue, and said word by word: "Needless to say, immediately collect the troops and return to Bazhou, and invite the king of Lanling County and the king of Jin in Northern Yan to stay in Bazhou City for two days, I think that Prince Yan and the twelve princesses will definitely come to Bazhou City in person." As long as the sword soldiers are not moved, the person who comes is a guest, and I still have this etiquette! ”
When Yue Xiaosi reluctantly agreed to this matter with a face full of unwillingness, Xiao Qingqing glanced at Kang Le, who was a little demented, and thought that she only obeyed Xiao Lele in the first half of her life, and in the second half of her life, she obeyed the orders of Emperor Beiyan. But when she thought about herself again, she couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
She seems to have been beautiful and done a lot of things in her life, but compared to this complete collapse, what are those in the past?
It's better to die...... Almost at the moment when this idea came to mind, Xiao Qingqing had already put it into action. A short dagger in her sleeve fell silently into the palm of her hand, followed by a casual slash to the side of her neck. However, before she could cut hard, she heard a soft sound of the bowstring, followed by something slamming into the blade of the dagger.
If it were normal times, Xiao Qingqing would naturally have the strength to resist, but she was repeatedly injured, and committing suicide at this time was just fighting for the last bit of strength. When this sudden arrow hit the dagger, she could no longer hold the sharp blade, and let go of her five fingers with a numb wrist. When the dagger landed on the ground, she saw the figure that was scurrying towards her.
It's none other than Ling Zhu'er, who she once appreciated, coaxed people away from the Divine Bow Gate, and taught archery in person!
Although she had long noticed that Ling Zhu'er had been serving next to the Prince of Nanwu before, since the other party had no reaction when she saw her, she didn't seem to know each other, Xiao Qingqing didn't expect her to miss the old love. But now, when she was bent on dying, Ling Zhu'er just stepped in to stop her, which couldn't help but make her think more.
Sure enough, after standing quietly for a while, Ling Zhu'er whispered: "The young palace master entrusted me before, if you see the palace master, if you are okay, then I just need to watch from afar, and I don't need to carry anything for her." But if you are not good, then for the sake of the love you have raised her for many years, you must be saved once. It doesn't matter if you miss her daughter or not, but she misses you after all. ”
Xiao Qingqing smiled sneeringly, and then asked rhetorically, "What about you?" If it weren't for her entrustment, the arrow you just shot was not the short dagger in my hand, but me, right? ”
"The palace bishop has never returned my archery skills, as for you have never revealed your identity as the county lord of Beiyan Huoshan, since you have not coaxed me to do anything sorry for my family and country, but let me not be deceived by Xu Houcong's guy to go to Beiyan, naturally you can't talk about what you owe me. So, why should I kill you? Even if it weren't for the young palace master's orders, I wouldn't have watched you kill yourself. ”
Ling Zhu'er glanced sideways at Qing Fengnian, and saw that he nodded to himself with satisfaction, and the bowstring in his hand slowly returned to its original position, she smiled and said with a relaxed face: "The Red Moon Palace will soon be able to join it when the martial arts record is rebuilt, I think, it is also time for the palace master to take a good look at what the young palace master is like now." You must know that in the battle of Bazhou last night, if it wasn't for the young palace master and Cheng Qianqian joining forces to act, they wouldn't be able to catch those Beiyan's secret sentinels, and they wouldn't have wiped out the Beiyan dead soldiers! ”
He did everything he could, but Xiao Jingjing had a good life in Nanwu, not only got friends and partners, but also found a way to the future, Xiao Qingqing only felt that his chest was sour and sluggish, and finally his eyes were dark, and he fainted like this.
This night, Yue Qianqiu felt as if she had slept all her life. He dreamed of many, many things, and countless people babbling in his ear, but he couldn't hear a word, let alone see their faces. He was just unconsciously surrounded by people, or pushed and shoved forward, into the endless darkness ahead.
When he was finally about to walk into the deepest darkness, it was as if someone suddenly blocked him. Immediately after, there was a face that he could finally see clearly. That very unfamiliar face is not peerless, let alone glamorous and charming, but between the eyebrows and eyes, there is clearly a flying look.
Although the other party did not speak, Yue Qianqiu seemed to be able to clearly understand the other party's eyes: "You can't go anymore...... It's not the place you should be......"
The next moment, he suddenly shook his spirit, and he actually tried to open his eyelids. When he found that his body was covered with a quilt, but the top of his head was not a tent, and the bottom of his body was not a bed board, and the feeling of bumps was very obvious, he was still a little confused, and almost subconsciously shouted: "Is there anyone?" ”
The moment the voice came out, he himself felt dry and hoarse, and he couldn't say it. When he was about to make a second call, the car door was pulled open, followed by a man who slammed into the curtain and jumped in, grabbing his wrist pulse without saying a word. Before he could speak, the man said to himself, "I've woken up, why is the pulse still so weak...... Well, I want to add a penny of gastrodia......"
Recognizing that it was Song Pujia, Yue Qianqiu only felt that his voice was even more messy, and he rubbed his temples and asked, "Where am I?" Where is this car going? ”
"You've been asleep for four days and four nights, my Yue Jiu Gongzi!" Song Pujia stretched out four fingers and made a gesture, seeing that Yue Qianqiu's face was quite dazed, she added, "It's been four days since the Battle of Bazhou ended, and you stayed in Bazhou City for a day, and the prince, Yue Xiang and General Yan decided to transfer you to the Daimyo's Mansion!" No, in addition to me, there are quite a few people who have followed! ”
Seeing that Yue Qianqiu was still a little stunned, Song Pujia stretched out her hand and shook it in front of him, and then said with a smile: "There are a whole thousand soldiers and horses with him!" Originally, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wanted Sister Zhou to come with him, but you, the left guard rate, are not there, if her right guard rate is not there, the East Palace Wei Rate Mansion is equivalent to dying in name, so she has to keep it. ”
"It's just that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent someone to catch up and deliver a letter saying that the Prince of Beiyan and the Twelve Princesses have arrived in Bazhou, as long as he sees them and settles the matter, he will take Sister Zhou and them to chase us, and then we can go all the way!"
"Ying Xiaopang is like this, he talks stupid things......" Yue Qianqiu smiled, and then felt that it took a lot of effort to laugh, and he was quickly stunned. It took a long time for him to ask, "Senior Sister Song, you tell you the truth, how am I doing now?" Is it okay? If I can't, I'll quit the head of the Xuandao Hall as soon as possible, and find a Qingshan to be a hermit......"
"What hermit? You can't farm, you can't chop wood, you can't hunt, you have to be served in everything, you only know how to talk about happiness comfortably, this is not a hermit, this is just a master who comes to stretch out his hand to eat and open his mouth! ”
Song Pujia interrupted Yue Qianqiu's words angrily, but then did not mention whether he could be good, but said with a smile, "You can't be a hermit!" Do you know no, the prince of Beiyan said that you are the biological son of the Empress Wenwu of the pioneer of Beiyan! ”
She didn't wait for Yue Qianqiu to ask, so she said to herself: "But who of us will believe that guy's nonsense!" The older Xiangye told all the truth in Bazhou! He met that queen in his early years, and at that time, my master's master, well, that is, Master Tai happened to be traveling, and by chance he gave the pulse to Queen Wenwu, and that queen couldn't have children at all! ”
For such a result, Yue Qianqiu was not much surprised, because this was originally one of the many outcomes he had envisioned. On the contrary, he was still faintly relieved, secretly thinking that before Emperor Beiyan died, he didn't know that the so-called little prince was nothing at all, which was better, so as not to be disappointed. He froze and asked, "And then?" ”
"Then you were sent by the Empress of Beiyan to find someone to keep by your side, but the crown prince is not!" Song Pujia's eyes lit up, and she said with joy, "The prince is the emperor's son-in-law, born to Concubine An in the palace, but he was deposed by the queen mother who was the first to go to the cold palace, and then was taken out of the palace by the eldest princess who couldn't stand it, and died after giving birth to the prince." ”
"The eldest princess has also seen the Empress of Beiyan, she and the old lady Yue found out about this after the Empress of Beiyan arrived in Jinling, when Ding An sent the so-called little prince into the palace, the two of them teamed up to steal the beams and change the pillars, and the emperor also knew about it......"
Although Song Pujia said happily, Yue Qianqiu chuckled in her heart. No, if there is still a little bit of his life experience that may be true, the little fat man's life experience is probably not the truth! But when he thought about it again, he was relieved. What is the truth and can you eat it? As long as all the people involved agree on the so-called truth, the fake becomes true!
