Chapter 594: Yue Xiaosi and Zhen Rong
"Ahh
After sneezing loudly with an itchy nose, looking at the heavy snow falling in the sky, thinking of the empty room behind him, Yue Xiaosi cried and said with a sad face: "I can't live this day!" ”
The Erjie monk couldn't look down on Yue Xiaosi's dead appearance the most, and couldn't help but scolded viciously: "What's the use of sighing here? If you are not convinced, enter the palace and snatch Zhen Rong back! ”
"I want to too, but look at my thin arms and legs, how can I have that ability?" Yue Xiaosi rolled up his sleeves, and then immediately rolled them down again, holding his hands in a cold posture. He stomped his feet vigorously, put his hands to his mouth and sighed, and then said in an underwhelming tone, "Besides, that's the King of Jin, even if I really recognize that kid as a righteous son, he may not be able to inherit the title of King of Lanling County, now if a prince fell down today and smashed his head, why not?" ”
Together with Yue Ying, he escorted Princess Ping An across the border, and then immediately returned home, Erjie only felt that he had broken his leg, but in exchange for a messy result, at this time, he was even more angry by Yue Xiaosi, and subconsciously flew up and kicked at the person.
"If you want to sell yourself yourself, Zhen Rong is not as cunning as you, this time it has been so many days, what should I do if I show my flaws?"
"Then you'll underestimate him!" Yue Xiaosi quickly dodged the kick, and then tightened the sable fur on his body, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and he said calmly, "He was too well protected in the past, but because of the tattoo on his shoulder, there has always been a hurdle in his heart that he can't pass, so he will almost break the jar after encountering someone who is unladylike." But he came to Beiyan and planted it in my hands, count him lucky. He's been reborn! ”
Erjie couldn't help but want to punch Yue Xiaosi. Listen to this, what does it mean to be unladylike? What does it mean to be planted in my hands and count him lucky? It's been so many years, and this kid is still so angry and doesn't lose his life!
However, thinking that Zhen Rong had been summoned to the palace for more than a month, except for the news that Zhen Rong was Xiao Jingxian's son and was about to be crowned King of Jin, other news was almost completely cut off, and he always had a very bad premonition, as if the kid he had taught as an apprentice would be tortured in a black prison, so he really couldn't be as calm as Yue Xiaosi.
He took a deep breath and asked in an unkind tone: "Don't talk nonsense, I just ask you, can you enter the palace or not?" ”
"Of course not...... If I don't enter the palace, where will I go for the New Year? Yue Xiaosi made an abrupt turn, and when he saw that Erjie's face was blue, he said with a hippie smile, "Now I am a widower without a wife or daughter, and I am lonely and alone in this cold and deserted palace, how pitiful and pitiful it is!" Today is the Chinese New Year's Eve feast, even if you don't say it, I have to enter the palace to receive the feast! ”
Only then did Erjie realize that he was upset these days, and he had never cared much about these New Year's holidays, and he had forgotten that it was Chinese New Year's Eve! He was hesitating whether to find a way to force Yue Xiaosi to bring him into the Beiyan Palace, but who expected that the next moment he heard a laugh: "You go and prepare well, I am a widower alone now, and I have to bring someone by my side to strengthen my courage." You know, I'm not very popular in the palace, maybe someone will challenge me, so you can be ready to do it. ”
"Hmph, I've been idle and impatient for a long time!"
Seeing that the monk of Erjie turned around and left, looking at the back as if he was full of fighting spirit, Yue Xiaosi smiled, and then shrugged his shoulders again, but the indecent expression just now was nowhere to be seen. He said it lightly in front of Erjie, but how could he have so much confidence, just relying on his understanding of the Northern Yan Emperor in the previous years. Moreover, he is also very concerned about Zhen Rong in the palace.
Compared with the torture that the monk was worried about, he was more worried about the mental pressure. That kid is not Yue Qianqiu, his ability to resist pressure is not so strong, and he is afraid that the string will be broken. Of course, the most disturbing thing is that the emperor would stuff Zhen Rong into Xiao Jingxian's name, is this just a whim, or is there any conclusive evidence?
If it's true, it's just funny. He didn't even know what expression to use to face this.
When Yue Xiaosi was dressed in a bright official uniform, wrapped in the black coat, and specially modified his facial features, making himself more majestic and high-spirited, Erjie entered the palace in the evening, which immediately attracted a lot of attention.
He, the king of Lanling County, still has the name of the envoy of the Autumn Hunting Division, but since Zhen Rong was admitted to the palace, he has always been on leave due to illness this month, and there are even guards guarding the door. Therefore, seeing that he was walking with his hands as if he was fine, he couldn't help but want to step forward and take advantage of a few words.
However, is it better to get along with the younger four? To a certain extent, his meanness is only better than Yue Qianqiu, and now he is full of firepower, and he is directly angry with a county king with a high rank in the clan. And when the others came up to do it in a moment of righteous indignation, the second ring behind him was not an ornament, but in a moment, there were already seven or eight people lying on the snow.
At this time, Yue Xiaosi, who had never moved a finger from beginning to end, said slowly: "I haven't come out for a month, just because I'm out of breath?" Oh, when Lao Tzu was desperately working in front, you guys were spending all day drinking in the back, and now they are coming out one by one to beat the water dogs? Hehe, I'm sorry, I didn't leave you a chance to fall into the well! ”
When the groaning and aching creatures on the ground heard this, they almost blew their lungs. However, before the sharp-tongued people scolded Yue Xiaosi from afar, they suddenly saw two columns of heavily armed guards hurrying over not far away, led by Xu Houcong. Although there are still many people who look down on this head of the Divine Bow Sect who defected from the south, no one dares to provoke this person easily.
Even those officials and nobles who were still lying down and pretending to be pitiful, many of them jumped up with extraordinary agility, and in the end there were only two who died.
If they really shot with all their might, these seven or eight people would have died a long time ago! He just took his hand, what are these guys pretending to be dead!
However, Xu Houcong, who rushed over, didn't look at the two people lying on the ground, and when he arrived in front of Yue Xiaosi, he arched his hand with a smile and said, "The king of Lanling County is here." The emperor also made a bet with the left and right before, and I just made a heavy bet, and the king of the county will definitely come to the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, and this time I won a small fortune. ”
Yue Xiaosi didn't expect the emperor to make such a bet with someone, and suddenly smiled: "What is the emperor betting on?" ”
"The emperor didn't gamble, but he sat in the village himself, and the people who participated in the gambling were several generals of the forbidden army and people from the Autumn Hunting Division." Xu Houcong didn't even want to mention Lou Yingchang's name, and after laughing, he raised his hand courteously to invite Yue Xiaosi in. The whole time, he didn't look at anyone else.
As soon as he led the younger four or two people away, the officials and nobles around him were in an uproar. Some people scolded him for being a villain, and some people despised him for having no one in his eyes, but they scolded him for a while, no one paid attention to them, and everyone had to disperse. As for the two guys on the ground who couldn't pretend to be dead, they had to get up from the snow with difficulty without anyone to help them.
Unfortunately, they had been lying in the cold for too long, and their bodies were almost stiff and numb. However, what made them feel even more cold was that they had just been picked up and jumped out to put Xiao Changheng right, wanting more people to beat people and fewer people, but when they lost the battle, they were regarded as outcasts. Xiao Changjun, the king of Lanling County, will be retribution, how can they bear it when they turn around?
Yue Xiaosi didn't care how angry others were, regretted it, followed Xu Houcong all the way inside, and he easily found that this was not going to the Lin De Hall of the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, but in another direction. If it was someone else, he was already worried about setting up an ambush or something strange at this time, but he was still fine, looking around all the way, but the monk behind him was already tense.
"In front of it is the water garden where Zhen Gongzi lived in the palace during this time." Xu Houcong didn't scare people in the end, so he said sincerely, "The emperor really has nothing to say to him, not only did he invite a famous teacher to teach him the history and art of war, but he also came to talk to him when he had nothing to do, even those princes never had such treatment." ”
When Yue Xiaosi heard the last sentence, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "Who doesn't know that the emperor's remaining princes are just Er'er, and the emperor is eloquent, so it's not surprising that he can't look down on them." On the contrary, Zhen Rong is righteous and brave, although the literary style is almost, but that thing is much better than martial arts, no wonder the emperor likes it more and more. So, I definitely don't have to say anything about it. ”
Speaking of boastful words in his mouth, Yue Xiaosi muttered in his heart. To put it mildly, Emperor Beiyan doesn't seem to be so good for Xiao Jingxian's brother-in-law? This kind of treatment doesn't sound like a brother-in-law is a son of a brother-in-law, but like a son to himself! However, Zhen Rong's age does not seem to match the time when the queen of Beiyan gave birth to a child......
There is no flaw on his face, and he looks proud to be a talent discoverer. It wasn't until he entered the Water Stopping Garden that he saw Zhen Rong dancing the sword in the middle, and the swordsmanship passed down by Qingcheng made the atmosphere faintly different from before, and he chuckled in his heart, and he was more and more uncertain about some developments.
Looking at Zhen Rong like this, he can't see half of the force. If he was really forced to stay in the palace by the emperor, pretending to be Xiao Jingxian's son, with Zhen Rong's temper, would he still be interested in dancing the sword at this time?
And the emperor, who was sitting next to him watching the battle, saw the group of three people who came in over there, and his eyes directly skipped Xu Houcong and fell on Yue Xiaosi. Seeing that the king of Lanling County, who had been recuperating at home for a month, had his hands shrunk in the big box, walking unhurriedly, and his face seemed to be very calm as if he had stayed in the mansion for a month without the resentment and depression he had spent in the house under house arrest before, but instead looked very calm.
"I sat in the village before, and when I saw that they bet on whether you would come or not, I thought you would be reluctant to step out of the house."
"As long as the people sent by the emperor do not stop them, the courtier who can't be idle naturally can't wait to wander around outside every day, how can he spend Chinese New Year's Eve at home alone?" Yue Xiaosi casually saluted, and then said with a sad face, "After all, the minister is now alone, and he is lonely when he sleeps at night. ”
"Oh, you're hinting to me that you're going to pick a famous lady to warm your bed?"
For the emperor's ridicule, if someone else is in the position of a high-level spy like Yue Xiaosi, most of them will accept it with a respectful face, but Yue Xiaosi has his own way of coping.
"If the emperor drags Princess Ping'an back from the Yellow Spring to the minister, it will be almost the same, if not, even if it is a good herb, the minister will not be much interested. Only take one scoop of three thousand weak water, don't look at the minister so unserious, he is still single-minded to the person he likes. ”
Speaking of this, Yue Xiaosi looked at Zhen Rong who was dancing with a sword, and his face showed a trace of tenderness: "Speaking of which, if the minister's daughter Qianqian is still there, she is quite compatible with Zhen Rong." ”
The monk of the second ring only felt that his eyelids jumped. You dare to say it! You also said before that your daughter and Yue Qianqiu are a good match, and you are not afraid that those people in the south who pay the most attention to rules and etiquette will spray you in the face!
And Zhen Rong finally stopped at this time. He wasn't so distracted, after all, if he didn't even know that so many big people had come in when he was dancing the sword, he would be in vain as the head disciple of Qingcheng. Seeing Yue Xiaosi nodding at himself with a smile, thinking of the other party's mysterious identity, and thinking of the other party's care and guidance to him in the previous days, he suddenly felt a little upset.
Emperor Beiyan came up with a lot of seemingly conclusive evidence, and some people even clearly told him how he was abandoned back then-including the woman who was with Xiao Jingxian for a while, and then was abandoned, that is, the woman who claimed to be his mother-However, even the Emperor of Northern Yan himself told him that the woman was driven out by Xiao Jingxian when she couldn't recognize her so-called holding the child, which is very fake.
And he didn't think that the woman who looked a little similar to him in facial features but had a disgusting temperament was really his mother.
It's just that Emperor Beiyan told him plainly that since there are all the human and material evidence, then he might as well be the king of Jin. In this way, he will send someone to carefully trace the pattern on his shoulder, and at that time, his mysterious background may be progressed. As for Emperor Beiyan's desire to add some blockage to Xiao Jingxian, who was far to the south, it was secondary.
Of course, if it weren't for the emperor threatening him with the life of Xiao Changxing, the king of Lanling County, he would not have agreed to such an outrageous thing so easily. After all, for him who was left alone in Beiyan, Xiao Changheng treated him like a master and a father. The most important thing is that the chief of the guard newly recruited by Xiao Changheng is a Shaolin elder who has turned into ashes, and he recognizes it, and he is definitely the Shaolin elder Erjie monk who once taught him martial arts!
Therefore, at this time, he put his sword into the sheath, walked forward slowly, and after saluting the emperor, before he could speak, he saw a flash in front of him, but a smiling face appeared in front of him.
"Your Majesty, the minister has a lot of things to say to this kid, please forgive the minister for being rude!"
Putting aside these words, Yue Xiaosi couldn't help but say that he dragged Zhen Rong away. Xu Houcong saw that the emperor was not only dissatisfied in the face of this scene, but had an interested expression, he couldn't help but smack his tongue secretly, thinking that fortunately he had always maintained a good relationship with the other party.
And Yue Xiaosi dragged Zhen Rong away from the distance, and saw that the emperor was talking to Xu Houcong, and Erjie also stayed in place because of suspicion, and he found that Zhen Rong was extremely stiff from his face to his body, so he let go of his hand and asked with a calm face: "What's the matter, my wings are stiff when I recognize a father, and I am not happy to pull and pull with me?" ”
Zhen Rong burst out a no, and before the follow-up explanation could be spoken, his head was suddenly pulled closer by Yue Xiaosi, and immediately after, he heard a low voice: "Take care of yourself in everything, don't be hard-topped!" Xiao Jingxian's son is Xiao Jingxian's son, anyway, that guy is in the south, you don't have to worry about someone riding on your head to make a cow and a horse! ”
was ready to meet a scolding of his head and face, but at this time, he only heard a concerned command, Zhen Rong only felt that his heart was hot, and his eyes were slightly red. He took a deep breath and said as quickly as possible about the human and physical evidence that the emperor brought to him, and then said astringently: "But he also said that it may not be true, he just wants me to pretend to be ......."
"It's just you fool who believes him, you, you are sold and you still help to count the money!" Yue Xiaosi was relieved, and slapped the back of Zhen Rong's head hard, and then said word by word, "Learn from a thousand years, you can check your life experience and the like, and don't drill the horns if you can't check it." Remember, there are times when the person who raised you is more important than the person who gave birth to you, and values you more than the person who gave birth to you! ”
