Chapter 13: Anger Rises
Seeing that Zhou Bian attached so much importance to Ling'er, Taishi couldn't help but shake his head, feeling that Zhou Tianzi's share had been greatly lost, and he wanted to persuade Zhou Bian to throw it away, but after hearing Zhou Bian say that it was Ling'er who blocked the sword for himself, Taishi stopped making a noise after thinking about it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 After the team left, he turned to the guard and asked about the situation. The guard was still articulate, and he would explain the story clearly, but the part where he was not there was something Zhou Bian said, Zhou Bian naturally would not say that he rushed out of the haystack impulsively, but only said that Han Bing was rude, Ling'er was the savior, and at the end he also mentioned the credit of this little girl, and the master was excited for a while and nodded again and again.
After asking, the master couldn't help but look back at the little girl a few times, and was so frightened that the little girl took a few steps closer to Zhou Bian's car, Zhou Bian hurriedly comforted a few words, and the little girl was no longer afraid, but her eyes changed when she looked at Zhou Bian. I didn't think it was a high prince, this little girl didn't know what to do, but seeing that these nobles were silent, she was a little scared, so she had to follow the team all the way. What Zhou Bian didn't expect was that this Taishi was so majestic in front of others, and yes, he was the master, so the Taishi naturally couldn't put a score on himself.
Then the Taishi fell into contemplation again, Cheng Zhou is the royal city, but the land of Wangji on the outskirts was wantonly robbed by the Han soldiers, so not to put the Son of Heaven in his eyes, although there have been many times in the past few hundred years, but the world has changed drastically in the past few decades, and the three families have divided the Jin and Tian clans to make the land of the Son of Heaven less disturbed, and now the princes do not respect the Son of Heaven again, which is greatly worth thinking about.
Zhou Bian heard the sound of the guard talking to the Taishi, and his heart moved, so he turned his head and asked the name of the guard.
The guard hurriedly bowed down and said, "The little one is not famous, he has been an orphan since he was a child, just because the little one is a guard who enters the palace on the day of Ding Zi, so everyone in the palace calls the little Ding Zi." ”
Zhou Bian liked the flexibility of this guard, and after living and dying together, he felt close, so he thought for a while and said, "Ding Zi is not good, this prince sees that you are very flexible and thoughtful, so you should be called secret." After a pause, he continued, "The surname, let's take Zhou as the surname, how about calling it Zhou Mi?" After that, he looked at the master again. Taishi was also attracted by this speech, so he nodded at Zhou Bian, and then turned to the guard, "Don't thank the prince for his name." ”
The guard, no, now called Zhou Mi, hurriedly knelt down to thank him, and when he raised his head, Zhou Bian's carriage had already gone far.
Zhou Bian looked at the little girl again, who was hurriedly following the car. Zhou Bian still remembered that it was this little girl who saved him during the crisis, so he asked for her name again. Sure enough, they are all the poorest people at the bottom, they have no names, but they are surnamed Liu, if nothing else, they will be called Liu when they are not married in the future, and they will have the surname of their husbands after they get married.
Zhou Bian thought for a while and said, "I see that you are smart, so I will call you Ruoshui, Liu Ruoshui, what do you think?" "I'm not sure if the Tao Te Ching came out at this time, but it doesn't matter much, Zhou Bian just thinks these two words are good.
The little girl just stared at Zhou Bian curiously, and asked timidly, "Are you really a prince?" Zhou Bian nodded hurriedly, and the Taishi also nodded at her. The little girl began to listen to Zhou Mi's mouth about the prince, and she didn't dare to confirm it in her heart, seeing that the old man in gorgeous clothes nodded, she believed that she thought that she had actually saved the prince, and suddenly became elated, "It's really the prince." I have a name, I have a name, or the name given by His Royal Highness the Prince. Liu Ruoshui jumped up happily, and he didn't know how to thank him. It's rare for the Taishi to see this innocent appearance, smiled and touched his beard but didn't speak, I didn't think that the Taishi also had a warm side to the civilians.
It is definitely an honor to be given a name by the nobles in this year, not to mention that Zhou Bian is a prince, his status is not low, if there is a family tree, it will be recorded to glorify future generations, Zhou Mi and the two are naturally very happy. And after a while, Liu Ruoshui remembered something and pouted again, "Your Royal Highness, my parents are still in the village, I want to go back and see." Zhou Bian shook his head, "It's useless for you to go back as a little girl, Master Taishi sent the army to see it, it should be fine." You can go to the city with me first, and then go back when everything is okay outside. The little girl thought about it, so she didn't say anything, and trotted with her head down.
After these words, I saw that Cheng Zhoucheng was in sight. Although his legs were still weak, but he was worried about Ling'er, Zhou Bian still insisted on holding on to the wheel and standing, leaning over to look at Ling'er, only to see that there was still a free breath, Zhou Bian couldn't help shouting in his heart, Ling'er, you must hold on.
It was another rush to run, and then arrived at the north gate of Chengzhou City, but at this time the north gate was closed, and there were guards running around with spears on the city tower, the scene was very panicked, and I thought that I had not encountered such a tense incident for many years. The Grand Master shouted to open the city gate, and everyone rushed in, and then the heavy city gate closed tightly behind everyone. Now it was finally safe, only to hear everyone breathe a sigh at the same time, it turned out to be unanimous, hundreds of people were angry together, and the momentum was much louder. The north gate leads to the backyard of the palace, and a short walk south leads to the palace. After the Taishi ordered the brigade to guard the city tower immediately, he took Zhou Bian, Liu Ruoshui and several palace guards into the palace.
In the palace compound, the Queen Mother was waiting in a hurry, seeing that she had sent a few groups of attendants to the north gate to watch, but there had been no news for a long time since the Taishi left the city. Suddenly, an inner attendant ran over, and the Queen Mother hurriedly greeted her, but she heard the inner attendant say, "There are hundreds of people coming here outside the north gate, a little far away, and I can't see who it is." When the Queen Mother heard this, she waved her hand irritably, what kind of news is this, so she asked her to find out and report again, and the attendant hurriedly retreated.
The Queen Mother's personal maid also comforted softly, "Wang Zibian is a blessed person, and he will be safe and sound." ”
The Queen Mother still frowned, "I really don't know which prince it is, if there is something to the prince, this palace will devote the power of the royal family to fight for his life." Alas, I would have known that I wouldn't have let Bian'er go out. "If Zhou Bian heard it here, he would be puzzled, didn't he hear the Queen Mother say that he didn't like him that day, why did he think of himself more seriously than the royal family.
Fortunately, while the two were talking, another attendant came running, shouting "I'm back, I'm back." The Queen Mother was upset, and couldn't help but say angrily, "There are no rules, make it clear, who is back?" ”
The chamberlain took a breath, "Empress Dowager, the prince and the prince are back." When the queen mother heard this, her heart was raised again, but the chamberlain gasped twice, "The prince is fine." The Queen Mother suddenly loosened her body and sat down, nervous since she got the news, and finally confirmed.
Then I heard the voice of the princess, "Queen Mother, the old minister has brought the prince back." "It turned out to be the front and back feet.
Behind the Taishi, Zhou Bian ran in, and before he could salute, he felt that he was hugged tightly, and it was the Queen Mother. When he let go, Zhou Bian saw that his shoulders were wet, and his heart suddenly warmed. As soon as his heart relaxed, Zhou Bian opened his mouth to tell the Queen Mother what happened, and the Queen Mother was nervous and laughed for a while, although seeing that Zhou Bian was safe here, the Queen Mother still felt very afraid.
After chatting for half an hour, the Queen Mother still refused to let go, as if she was afraid that Zhou Bian would run away again. Taishi had to wait beside him, and suddenly a guard ran in, "Empress Dowager, Master Taishi." The little ones have found out that it is a team of Korean soldiers, coming from Mengjin, and they have left for the east at this time. Fortunately elsewhere, only the village of Beizhou was ransacked, it should be that they stopped to eat here, about one or twenty villagers of my royal family died in the conflict, and several of the guards who followed His Royal Highness the prince out were missing, and the details are still being checked. In addition, the Prison Guard was nowhere to be found, and he heard from one of the fleeing guards that he seemed to have been taken captive by them. "Obviously, this person was later sent by the Taishi to check the situation, and that Northern Zhou Village was the last village where Zhou Bian stayed. Taishi shook his hand, and after the guard retreated, he arched his hand and said, "Queen Mother, this Meng Jin has always been guarded by the Shan family, why did he suddenly enter so many Han soldiers but didn't have to report it?" Moreover, the old man went out of the city to knock on the door of the Shan family, but no one opened the door, this matter is strange! ”
Zhou Bian thought for a while and then interjected, "Master Taishi, do these Han soldiers often pass through my territory?" Taishi shook his head.
Zhou Bian knew that Korea had been fighting for many years, and its existing territory was divided into two pieces by the territory of the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, so he said, "I think there will be a big war in the south of Korea, so I hurriedly transferred troops from the north, and in a hurry, I took a shortcut." The Grand Master and the Queen Mother glanced at each other, both surprised, obviously they didn't expect Zhou Bian's eight-year-old child to see this, and he was also an eight-year-old normal child, and he couldn't recognize words at this time. In the end, the Queen Mother smiled, "Bian'er, you better go back and rest first, I'm frightened today." ”
So Zhou Bian said goodbye and left, in fact, the war in Korea has nothing to do with the Zhou Dynasty, just don't harm the Zhou Dynasty. When leaving, I didn't forget to tell the master that Ling'er must be healed. As soon as Ling'er entered the palace, she was separated from Zhou Bian and them, and was carried to another place for treatment, and Zhou Bian was not convenient to follow him, so after saying goodbye to the Queen Mother, he took Liu Ruoshui, who was waiting outside the door, back to his room and chatted with Liu Ruoshui at will.
It turned out that Liu Ruoshui's parents went to the village early in the morning to wait for the prince to arrive, and also brought Liu Ruoshui's brother, an eleven or twelve-year-old boy. Zhou Bian had no choice but to comfort Liu Ruoshui and say that they would be fine. Later, another guard came to report, saying that all the Han soldiers had left the country, and there was still no Lord Jianjia. After hearing this, Liu Ruoshui couldn't sit still anymore, and Zhou Bian couldn't persuade him, so he had to ask the guard to take Liu Ruoshui out of the palace.
The hour passed quickly, and when Zhou Bian was pondering, the Queen Mother came. The Queen Mother didn't have any expression on her face, "Bian'er, I brought Ling'er here." Zhou Bian was surprised and delighted, could it be that Ling'er would be fine so soon, and he hurriedly looked behind the Queen Mother, but she was a little girl she had never seen, twelve or thirteen years old, almost like Ling'er, but tears were faintly visible in the corners of her eyes. When Zhou Bian was still stunned, the little girl bowed down, "Ling'er has seen His Highness." ”
Zhou Bian suddenly thought of something, and froze like five thunderbolts, looking at the Queen Mother, who nodded slightly. Zhou Bian shouted, "I don't believe it, take me to see Ling'er, I want my Ling'er, where is she?" After saying that, Zhou Bian rushed to the door, but was stopped by the guards, but the Queen Mother was angry, "My son's body of ten thousand gold, how can I go to see the great murderer." Don't worry, I'll be in for a good time. ”
Although he worked hard, Ling'er finally left. It's the first time I've experienced the loss of someone around me, and this is something I haven't experienced even if I lived for more than 20 years in my previous life. As soon as he closed his eyes, he looked like Ling'er, and he could no longer see the Ling'er who regarded himself as his master and regarded himself as his life, Zhou Bian stayed there, and for a moment, he only felt that the anger in his heart was surging, and the tension caused by the murder was swept away, but he suddenly had an irrepressible impulse, and he held the handle of the short sword tightly in his hand, and his whole body trembled due to the force, is this real anger? Zhou Bian secretly swore in his heart, Zhao Weihan's Korea, this prince has remembered it in his heart, and he will definitely want you to be martyred for Ling'er, and today you will provoke your grandfather Bian!
The Queen Mother saw Zhou Bian's body trembling, knowing that he was indignant because of the death of his maid, and the Queen Mother was not a ruthless person, so she naturally understood that there was a certain feeling for the long servant, so she stepped forward and hugged her tightly to show comfort. And the little girl also sobbed softly and silently, and the people around her were silent, as if only this mother and son were left in heaven and earth to hug each other tightly.
