Chapter 416: The Price of the Warrior
Even though many arrows were aimed at him, Yue Ying remained calm.
"Has His Royal Highness the King of Jin ever heard that I have been with the old lady for nearly thirty years, almost as long as he has been an official? He had encountered several crises that could not be solved by wisdom and means, but had to be overcome by skill, and in the end they all jumped easily as if crossing a small ditch. ”
"I've naturally heard of how powerful the shadow of the dark moon is beside Elder Yue. It is said that the Emperor of Southern Wu also gave you the privilege of entering and leaving the court, and you must know that even the children of Prime Minister Zhao Qingya do not have this treatment. Speaking of this, Xiao Jingxian glanced at Yue Qianqiu, who was tense next to him, as if he would make a move anytime and anywhere, and said with a smile, "In addition, this kid who worships under Yan Xu, the son of the eldest princess of Dongyang, and enters and leaves the palace as if he is in his own house, is also brought up by the elder Yue!" ”
Yue Qianqiu was keenly aware that Xiao Jingxian was actually talking about him left and right, and he couldn't help but feel a little unspeakable suspicion about the killing intent that he felt was unfalse just now. Moreover, this kind of boasting about himself will never appear on Yue Ying in ordinary times.
But just when he calmed down his breath and was about to wait for an opportunity to make a probe for a while, he suddenly saw a figure rushing towards Xiao Jingxian like lightning, and at this moment, he couldn't help but subconsciously shouted: "Little monkey, stop!" ”
But just as he stopped it, the little monkey had already put a dagger on the side of Xiao Jingxian's neck. And hearing Yue Qianqiu's words, the thin young man who was supposed to be fierce with a dagger was a little dazed, and asked with a little hesitation: "Ninth Prince, he didn't care about us like this, why did you help him!" ”
Saying so in his mouth, the little monkey took the dagger and finally loosened up a little, looking around, not concentrating at all, how could there be a sense of urgency to hold people hostage to survive?
On the contrary, the blade was sharpened, but Xiao Jingxian's reaction was more calm than that of the little monkey who held him hostage. But in an instant, he used to squint his eyes, but at this moment, his eyes suddenly widened, revealing a clear and divine light that was not negligible. If you just look at this spirit that seems to be in the peak state, no one will believe that he was a seriously injured person who couldn't move when someone else visited him not long ago!
"I wanted to test Mr. Shadow more, but I didn't expect to be killed by this little guy who was so righteous that he was ruined." Xiao Jingxian suddenly flicked his finger on the little monkey's dagger as he spoke, and the next moment, the dagger was actually broken by the tip of the knife, which frightened the little monkey directly, and looked at the dagger that was only a little bit left, and his expression was gone.
What is this, is it a snap of a finger?
Yue Qianqiu was also dumbfounded, but Yue Ying laughed and said, "This dagger, His Royal Highness the King of Jin has already done something, right?" As long as a crack is corroded into the blade of the dagger early, with your finger strength, it is too easy to achieve such an effect! ”
"It's a little trick, so naturally you can't hide it from Mr. Shadow." Xiao Jingxian did not deny it, and gestured again to make the guards who were holding bows and arrows retreat. Seeing that the little monkey wanted to slip away, he rolled up his sleeves casually, and easily took away the half of the dagger in the little monkey's hand, and saw Yue Qianqiu suddenly rush forward, pull up the little monkey and quickly retreat, and then pull the person behind him, he couldn't help laughing.
"Sometimes when I see Qianqiu, I really can't help but think, why do you still have time to take care of your children tomorrow? Why can such a child who is clearly not of the Yue family's blood be taught to be so flexible and wise, and to treat people impeccably? ”
"I can answer this question on behalf of the old lady. Because my Majesty the Great Wu Emperor also asked the same question. ”
Yue Ying said, glanced at Yue Qianqiu, and saw that his face was full of curiosity, so he said lightly: "The old lady said at that time, it was not that he taught well, but that the ninth prince was born well. Some children are born with a desire to take care of them wholeheartedly, because his nature is the best child in the world. ”
It's the most annoying thing to praise people behind your back, grandpa, if you say it to your face, I will definitely be even happier!
Yue Qianqiu's cheeks are thick, and at this time, he didn't feel that his grandfather's beautiful words were too much, but the corners of his mouth turned up, and he looked proud.
Let you break around, and I will say that I am the son of Emperor Nanwu, and Ying Xiaopang dropped the bag; I will say that I am the son of the Emperor and Empress of Beiyan, and I was sent to the south by the Empress! Hmph, it's still grandpa who penetrates the phenomenon to see the essence, knowing whether I am reborn or not, who gives birth to me has no half-dime relationship, and who raises me is crucial!
And Xiao Jingxian seemed to see his thoughts from Yue Qianqiu's eyes and expressions, and he was noncommittal to Yue Ying's words, and after a moment of silence, he spoke: "Mr. Na Ying is here to see me on behalf of Yue Lao, what do you want to say?" ”
"It's very simple, now for the people in the capital and the Emperor of Beiyan, His Royal Highness the King of Jin is just missing, and the people who have seen you in my Great Wu are really rare, as for these people in this mission, they have long been said to be the private individuals of the Yue family. Therefore, His Royal Highness the King of Jin crossed the border to Dawu like this, and he was neglected, not to mention, but he was afraid that he would be said to be a fake. ”
Xiao Jing raised his eyebrows first: "Oh, so you ...... Or is it that the elder of Nanwu Cixiangyue wants me to take out something that proves me, or something that proves my worth, so that everyone in the world can take a good look? So, do you want me to lead a rebel army to fight well, or do you want me to rebel against some civil and military officials, or do you want me to kill someone? ”
It's really not easy to deal with people who are too smart, Yue Ying thought so in her heart at this time.
He is a guard, not a think tank, so he is not good at this, and the older the old lady is, it is impossible for him to sneak into the enemy territory to see Xiao Jingxian in person, of course, if he can, he will definitely not agree. Therefore, before leaving, Mrs. Yue almost exhausted all possibilities, listed the situations that might happen, and then designed ways to deal with them one by one.
And Xiao Jingxian's various responses after his appearance were not for the most difficult plan, but so straightforward that there was no need to beat around the bush.
At this time, he stabilized his slightly fluctuating mind, and said in a deep voice: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin cannot be classified as a traitor, nor is he a traitor, so whether it is leading an army, plotting a rebellion, or even killing someone, it is inevitable that all of them will underestimate the value of His Highness." What my old lady means is, why should His Royal Highness the King of Jin make public the reason for abandoning the great glory and wealth of Northern Yan and going to Southern Wu? ”
It wasn't until this moment that Yue Qianqiu couldn't help but gasp. Although Xiao Jingxian told him that this trip to the south was to find his nephew, and this was a letter left by Queen Beiyan before her death, but this kind of rootless thing is over after talking to him, and now grandpa actually said that Xiao Jingxian will reveal it to the world? How did this come to light?
What should Xiao Jing say first? Straight to say, I went to Dawu to find a nephew?
And Yue Ying quickly said the follow-up: "We released the news that you accompanied the Ninth Prince to Gu'an and were going south to Dawu." With the character of the Emperor of Beiyan, those rebels are just like chickens and dogs, and they will definitely leave the rebels to come to Beiyan Nanjing Mansion in person, and even go to Gu'an in person. ”
Is Grandpa forcing Xiao Jing to dissect his attitude in public first and cut off the possibility of his rebellion in the future? But who is Xiao Jingxian, this capricious and fickle guy, because of his open break with the Northern Yan Emperor, he will be attached to Southern Wu from then on, and be loyal to Southern Wu? What's more, even if Xiao Jingxian swore an oath, he didn't think it could be trusted, how could grandpa believe it?
Yue Qianqiu's face is extremely ugly at this time, Rao is he has always felt that his grandfather is very powerful, but he is not very optimistic at this time.
But Xiao Jingxian remained silent: "Then after I pay such a price, how will the Southern Dynasty treat me?" ”
"The king voted for me as a countryman, and I repaid him as a countryman. This is the original words of the emperor, and I am asked to bring them to His Royal Highness the King of Jin. Yue Ying paused as she spoke, then showed a hint of a nonchalant smile, "Of course, such a promise is very empty. Therefore, the emperor roughly set three articles, and asked His Royal Highness the King of Jin to increase or decrease them as appropriate. ”
"First, after His Royal Highness the King of Jin is attached, the emperor will still crown you as the King of Jin, and all the courtesies will be on par with you in Beiyan."
This first article alone, even the little monkey couldn't help but smack his tongue when he heard it, not to mention Yue Qianqiu, who knew the meaning very well. In the south, where kings with different surnames have only been three in a hundred years, and they have never been hereditary, such a prince has a heavy weight, which can be deeply experienced by everyone.
"Second, after His Royal Highness the King of Jin is attached, the emperor will confer the position of the crown prince and the prince, which is not a fictitious position, but a real one. In other words, His Royal Highness King Jin will be the teacher of the future crown prince. ”
This time, Yue Qianqiu was stunned for a moment. Let Xiao Jingxian teach the prince such a demon...... The emperor is not afraid to teach a little demon? If Ying Xiaopang becomes the prince, can the little guy bear it?
Even Xiao Jingxian couldn't help but be moved at this moment, and then couldn't help but smile: "I didn't expect that I, a character who hates dogs in the Northern Yan people, has such value in the minds of the Southern Wu Emperor." Everyone said that the Emperor of Southern Wu was weak and could be bullied, first the queen mother, and then the marionette of the minister, but he really underestimated his courage. ”
Yue Ying bowed slightly, as if to thank Xiao Jingxian for his high opinion of the king of his country, and then said the last sentence.
"Third, Jiu Gongzi once opened a martial arts hall in Jinling, bringing together young heroes from all over the world to teach him. If His Royal Highness the King of Jin is willing to return, the emperor would like to ask you to take over as the first mountain chief of Wuyingguan. ”
Does the Wuying Pavilion have such a thing as a mountain chief?
Yue Qianqiu, who single-handedly created the Wuying Pavilion, couldn't help but fall into shock and chaos. He seems to be planning to build a school for student autonomy, so he tried his best to weaken the status of the court and instructors, and now the emperor actually wants to stuff Xiao Jingxian into the name of the mountain chief? This school will definitely become the first school in Jinling, right?
It's the name that is famous for causing trouble!
However, Yue Qianqiu still understood in the end, although this honor and courtesy was enough, but the real power was also incomprehensible. Come to think of it, who can let a prince from an enemy country have military power? Just when he thought that Xiao Jingxian was going to bargain, he saw an undisguised smile blooming on Xiao Jingxian's face.
"Good, deal!"
I actually agreed! Yue Qianqiu couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and what made him even more dumbfounded was that Xiao Jing looked at him first and added another sentence: "Of course, I didn't agree because of these conditions, but because of Qianqiu's care for me these days!" I heard that the Wuying Pavilion was made out by Qianqiu, and the King of England, who was the most likely to enter the East Palace, had a very close relationship with him, so I was very interested. ”
Yue Qianqiu suddenly sighed angrily. He has a very good relationship with Ying's little fat fart, and it's too late for him to hide from that little fat man!
