Chapter 39: "Treasures"
Yulu inquired many times, but could not inquire about Xu Qingqing's whereabouts.
She found Concubine Xu's body on the outskirts of the city - her clothes were completely ruined, her face was filthy, and there were more than ten large and small knife wounds on her body......
In order to prevent Concubine Xu's body from being trampled by the horse's hooves of the rebels, she dug a pit in the suburbs overnight and buried it hastily, and it was at this time that she heard the news that Prince Hong was about to marry a mute.
Everyone said that the mute was the princess of the previous dynasty.
Yulu has a strange intuition, and always feels that things are not so simple.
Xu Yuanyu is not a mute, on the contrary, Xu Yuanyu can speak well, and often "advises" in the ears of the first emperor to kill Zhongliang......
In the harem of the previous dynasty, there has never been any dumb girl, except for his master, Xu Qingqing.
Yulu was suspicious and wanted to go to Prince Hong's mansion to see what was going on, but he finally entered the mansion, but he was kicked out for no reason.
She was anxious and had nothing to do.
She is not from Liguo, like Concubine Xu, she was taken captive to the territory of Liguo by Emperor Li, and she was about to be ruined by the soldiers, but fortunately she was rescued by Concubine Xu, and since then she has sworn allegiance to Concubine Xu, and has never had two hearts.
Now that Concubine Xu is dead, Xu Qingqing's whereabouts have been unknown, Yulu is worried, and she doesn't dare to let go even if there is only a clue.
She was worried that Xu Qingqing would encounter an accident and end up like Concubine Xu......
At the same time, the backyard, the study.
"The subordinates are incompetent and failed to help Miss Xu find Concubine Xu's body." Mu Zhao knelt on the ground and confessed his guilt.
"Take twenty sticks for yourself. Tomorrow, he ordered someone to build a mound for Concubine Xu outside the city, burn incense and worship, and there must be no mistake. Lin Hongyi commanded.
"Yes."
"Pass the order down, find out the soldiers who disobeyed the military order, burned and killed the plundered soldiers, and beheaded them!"
"Yes......"
"What else?" Lin Hongyi saw that Mu Zhao was still kneeling in place, and asked.
"My subordinates feel that if you are interested in Miss Xu, you should let her know what you have done for her, otherwise you will ......"
"How else?"
"Otherwise, in her eyes, you will always be a cold and heartless person, and she will only ...... you It's only going to get more ......"
"When did you become so spittering?" Lin Hongyi frowned.
After this reprimand, Mu Zhao didn't dare to make any more noise.
After all, he is not Miss Xu, and His Royal Highness does not have so much patience with him.
"Who told you that this king is interested in her?" Lin Hongyi asked.
"Yes...... It's the subordinates who see it themselves. Mu Yi replied truthfully.
Even if he had to suffer another twenty military sticks, he would admit it, who called him the only guard and adviser by His Highness's side?
His Royal Highness has been in the army since he was a child, and he has never had any relationship between men and women, so he naturally doesn't know anything about it, if His Royal Highness is so stubborn, Miss Xu's heart will be scared away sooner or later......
"Your Highness might as well send something to Miss Xu, the more precious the better...... Women, they all like rare things. Mu Zhao had the courage to come up with an idea.
"The king knows." Lin Hongyi was a little impatient, "This king asked you to report the military situation, what are you doing with all this?" ”
"If you go back to Your Highness, Rongjiang is very stable under the guard of General Yan, and there is no turmoil." Pastoral anecdotes.
Lin Hongyi bowed slightly.
On this day, after dealing with the affairs of the army, he got up and concentrated for a moment and called the butler.
"Butler, what are the rare things in the house?"
"Rare things?" The housekeeper was puzzled for a moment by what he meant, "If you go back to Your Highness, there are a lot of priceless treasures in the treasury, all of which were brought back from Rongjiang by Your Highness, and I don't know what Your Highness plans to ......."
"Make a list and send the most valuable items to the other garden." Lin Hongyi commanded.
The housekeeper let out an "oh", moved out of the study with a body that had been beaten for a few ten boards, walked a few steps, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Why do you suddenly have to send something to another garden?
It's weird, what is Your Highness planning to do......
But in the end, he didn't dare to ask carefully, so he only made a list honestly according to Lin Hongyi's instructions, and asked the little servant to carry the most valuable "treasures" out of the warehouse and move them to Xu Qingqing's residence.
Looking at the sudden arrival of several large wooden boxes, Zilu couldn't help but be curious: "Is the prince planning to move out of the East Wing and move to another garden?" ”
"Miss Zilu is really good at laughing, these are the treasures that His Royal Highness gave to Miss Xu." The butler stammered.
Looking at the long knife that was lifted out of the wooden box, Zilu couldn't help but feel a little numb.
For no reason, what are you giving these for?
"This is the Maha knife obtained by His Highness after defeating the Yi tribe, sharpening iron like clay, which is absolutely extraordinary." The housekeeper is like a treasure.
“……”
"This is the ice armor that His Highness wears, it is extremely thin, but it can resist any sword." The housekeeper continued.
“……”
"There is also this red iron sword that has been paid tribute to in southern Xinjiang, which is as cold as a blade and is priceless...... the butler continued.
"Your Highness gave me these to ask me to go to war?" Xu Qingqing asked.
The housekeeper barely squeezed out a smile: "Miss Xu, you really know how to joke......"
"Didn't you call me to battle?" Xu Qingqing nodded thoughtfully, "Is that planning to make me kill myself?" ”
"Naturally, it's not." The butler shook his head busily.
"What's that?" Xu Qingqing asked.
"This ......," the butler fell into deep hesitation.
Yes, what is Your Highness going to do with this move?
"Since it's neither, then carry it back," Xu Qingqing ordered.
Seeing that there was an incomparably delicate dagger in the small box, he paused and said, "This one is left." ”
The things were carried back to the storeroom as they were, and the butler went to his life in fear, always feeling that he had done something ridiculous.
Sure enough, the more he told him, the more ugly Lin Hongyi's face became, and in the end, it was simply a mountain rain that was about to come and the wind was full of buildings, and even his voice was a little low and depressed: "The knife sent, the sword sent, the cold ice armor sent?" ”
"Yes...... Yes......" The butler nodded cautiously.
"Does this king want to call her to the battlefield, or does he want to tell her to kill herself?" Lin Hongyi almost wanted to reward him with another board.
"It's weird, Miss Xu, that's what she said......" The butler muttered quietly.
"What did you say?" Lin Hongyi asked coldly.
"I didn't ...... It's nothing, the slave said, since Miss Xu doesn't like it, just choose something else, there are a lot of rare antiques, jewelry, calligraphy and paintings in the warehouse, all of which are given by the Holy Emperor, and the girl will definitely like it. The housekeeper carried out the words of improving Mo Dayan to the extreme, and also slightly guessed Lin Hongyi's thoughts.
Alas, if you want to make Miss Xu happy, why don't you say it, what kind of thing is this to make such a big joke?
"No need." Lin Hongyi shook his head.
The butler looked at him in amazement, waiting for the next step.
"Go down, and wait for this king to think again." Lin Hongyi's sword eyebrows frowned slightly.
For the first time in his life, he felt that jewelry was all mundane things, unworthy of the woman who had been dusted.
Just as whatever he did now, it was too late to untie the knot in her heart.
Even at the life-and-death juncture of galloping on the battlefield, he never hesitated, why was he so helpless in this trivial matter of sesame mung beans?
It's a weird feeling......
