Chapter 52 [Chu Palace Storm] (II)
The Qin State is located in a remote area, and is regarded as Xiyi by the Central Plains countries, and the folk customs are naturally not as conservative as the Central Plains countries, and the words and deeds of Ying Pian are not as reserved as other girls, and they seem to be down-to-earth and generous, she said softly: "I came to see my aunt and grandmother, and I didn't expect such a thing to happen in Chu again." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
I sighed with deep sympathy, and knocked on the side: "What happened to the King of Chu? ”
Ying Lian bit her lip, but she didn't answer my question, at this time I saw a person from afar walking over accompanied by the guards, but it was the imperial doctor Mi Yong, Mi Yong also saw me, and greeted me with joy: "General Lu, it turns out that you are also here, what about the princess?" ”
I gave him a meaningful look, and Mi Yong closed his mouth in embarrassment.
Ying Lian pointed to the palace gate in front and said, "That is the west gate of the palace, you better leave as soon as possible." ”
Pu Zixuan, who was in charge of guarding the West Gate, led two guards to greet him, and respectfully saluted Ying Lian and said, "Your Royal Highness the Princess! ”
Ying Lian's identity has long been estimated by me, it seems that she is the daughter of Qin Mourning Gong of Qin State, and she will be called Aunt Meng Ying.
Ying Pian said: "Commander Pu, the Queen Mother asked you to personally escort Commander Lu and his party back to their residence, and also, explain to the officials of the post house, you must be kind to the envoys who came from Yue Guo this time, if there is any mistake, only you can ask!" When she said this, she naturally had a majestic bearing, and it seemed that these high-ranking children were indeed different from ordinary folk girls.
Pu Zi said yes again and again.
I went to Ying Lian to say goodbye to her, and whispered, "I don't even know what to call you." ”
Ying Lianyan smiled and said: "You can call it whatever you want, by the way, there is something I need to remind you that this is the Chu State, which is different from the Yue Country everywhere, and it is better to be cautious in some things." ”
I heard something in her words, and said softly, "Can Miss Win Mercy speak more clearly?" ”
Ying Lian smiled and shook his head, turned around and walked in the direction of the palace, took two steps and stopped, and whispered: "I hope that people will last a long time, thousands of miles together, I don't know how you remembered this poem?" ”
I was like being hit by a thunderbolt, standing stupidly in place, in this era, only Chu Yaoyao knows this poem, why does Ying Lian also know? The reason for this is self-evident, Ying Lian must know Chu Yaoyao, and the relationship between the two is quite close, what Chu Yaoyao said just now must have reminded me through Ying Lian's mouth, since she knew the news that I came to Chu State, why didn't she come to see me in person? I had mixed feelings in my heart, and my mind was chaotic for a while.
Mi Yong came to my side and reminded me in a low voice, "General Lu, it's time for us to go." ”
I woke up like a dream, glanced at the shadow in the distance, and whispered, "It's time to go......"
Back at the Li Zhi Pavilion, I summoned Mi Yong to my room, and before I could ask, Mi Yong said with a heavy expression: "King Chu Zhao is only afraid that he won't be able to survive tomorrow morning." ”
My heart trembled, and my eyes were full of horror: "You mean ......"
"King Chu Zhao will definitely die!"
I regretted it and said: "If I knew this, I would not have sent the Seventh Princess to the Chu Palace." ”
Mi Yong shook his head and said: "The marriage between the seventh princess and King Chu Zhao is not important, what is really always needed is the alliance between Yue Chu, in fact, everyone knows that King Chu Zhao will definitely die, but this marriage between Yue Chu and Chu has to be sent like an arrow." ”
I looked at Miyong inquiringly.
Mi Yong said: "As soon as King Chu Zhao died, the situation that Chu had just stabilized will inevitably face a new round of tests, Chu can no longer afford to resist any wind and grass, and the stable relationship with the outside world is very important, and after marrying the Yue State, at least in the short term, the stability of the Chu and Yue borders can be ensured." ”
"In that case, why did Queen Youqi of Chu treat us so rudely?"
Mi Yong said: "There will be different factional struggles in every country, and there will be power struggles and conflicts of interests in every court. ”
I nodded sympathetically: "If you hadn't notified the Queen Mother in time today, I'm afraid that the Seventh Princess and I would have been poisoned by that stinky girl." ”
Mi Yong said with a stunned face: "I...... I haven't seen the Queen Mother! ”
My eyes widened in surprise, and then I reacted, it must be Ying Lian who helped us, Ying Lian has nothing to do with me, her help to me must be because of Chu Yaoyao, and the truth of this matter may only be found out from their mouths.
Mi Yong sighed and said, "It seems that the seventh princess is destined to live alone in the Chu State Palace......"
Although I feel a little melancholy in my heart, it is much better than knowing that she is going to marry the old guy who is going to marry King Chu Zhao at the beginning, this is probably the selfishness in my heart, I would rather be widowed than have her accompany the old man, I was secretly ashamed in my heart, and silently made up my mind that as long as I had the opportunity, I would rescue Chu Yaoyao from this cage-like deep palace.
Mi Yong said: "General Lu, our affairs have been successfully completed, I don't know when you plan to return to Yueguo?" ”
I whispered, "I still have a few things to do, and I can't leave just yet." ”
Mi Yong said earnestly: "General Lu, as soon as King Chu Zhao dies, the state of Chu will be covered in clouds, and it is difficult to say what will happen in the future, so it is better for us to leave as soon as possible." ”
I raised my hand and said, "Mr. Mi, I was just about to ask you about this matter, you took the soldiers who came with us to return to Yue Guo first, I have some personal things to do, but I am afraid that it will be delayed for a while." ”
Mi Yong sighed: "It's okay, I hope General Lu won't be emotional." ”
Only then did I realize that Mi Yong was afraid that I would stay here because of Ji and Yue, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips and said: "Mr. Mi don't worry, what to do and what not to do, I know very well." ”
Mi Yong nodded and said in a low voice: "You are a different young man, the old man dares to assert that you will definitely have something earth-shattering in the future." ”
That night, Mi Yong and I left the Li Zhi Hotel, the next thing to do is my own private affairs, I don't want to have anything to do with the Yue Kingdom, the official in charge of the reception sent us out of Yingdu, and I broke up with Mi Yong at the Ten Mile Long Pavilion.
Kaoli and Dai Kaishan are my loyal subordinates, and this time they stayed with me, Yingluo seems to have completely regarded me as her master, and she will naturally go wherever I go.
Mi Yong held my hands and shook them vigorously: "Take care!" ”
I smiled and said, "Mr. Mi don't worry, I believe we can meet in Vietnam soon." ”
"After General Lu goes back, the old man will prepare wine and food for you to wash the dust!"
"It's a deal!"
Watching Mi Yong lead the team to disappear into the gloomy twilight, I breathed a sigh of relief, for Yue Guo, this time is the successful completion of the marriage figures, for me personally, today is the beginning of the rescue plan, after coming to Chu State, I didn't hear any news about Lu Yihong, her whole person is like a stone sinking into the sea, there is no trace, according to Fu Qutai said, Lu Yihong's disappearance should be directly related to Sima Ziqi, but with my current manpower and strength, how to confront Sima Ziqi?
Kaoli quietly came to my side: "Childe, what should we do?" ”
I nodded: "Let's go to Yingdu and settle down first!" ”
We settled in the Surplus Inn in the south of Yingdu City, the inn is located on the more prosperous street in Yingdu, and the main reason for choosing this place is to inquire about the news more conveniently, change into a brand new robe, surrounded by a belt inlaid with gold and jade, I am dressed like a full nouveau riche. Kaoli and Dai Kaishan were ordered by me to go to the Iron and Blood Prison to find out the situation there, and by the way, to investigate the terrain on the spot.
I took Yingluo to dine in a nearby tavern, quietly listening to the conversation of the people around me. A middle-aged man caught my eye, and from the moment Yingluo and I walked into the tavern, his eyes looked at me from time to time.
"Did you see that man, he seems to be coming for me?" I whispered.
Yingluo looked at her in surprise and wanted to turn away.
The man had already stood up and walked out the door, and Yingluo could only see his back.
I picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it down: "It seems that it is difficult for us not to be noticed by others, you are waiting for me here!" I put down my glass and followed the man's figure.
The man didn't go far, he looked at me outside the door, turned around and continued to walk forward, he obviously deliberately lured me to go with him, because I had been ambushed by others before, so I had to be more cautious this time, stopped, only to find that the man also stopped, looked at me with unscrupulous eyes, nodded to me, and then pointed to the arched bridge in the distance.
I took a closer look at the situation around me, the street was bustling with people, even if it was an ambush, I would not choose such a place, this man had already aroused my strong curiosity, and if I didn't ask what was going on, I would definitely not be happy in my heart.
He suddenly ran quickly, I bit my lower lip, and instantly made up my mind, followed his figure after him, and came to the arched bridge, the man suddenly hid in the crowd, and when I was about to catch up, I heard a crisp voice calling my name: "Tortoise, aren't you already gone?" Why are you still here? ”
I looked over to the place where I was talking, but I saw Ying Lian wearing a blue samurai suit, sitting on a small boat moored by the river, looking at me with a pair of clear and beautiful eyes full of inquiry.
I walked slowly towards her: "Miss Win has been following me?" ”
Ying Lian smiled indifferently: "I can't help it when I am entrusted by others and loyal to others." ”
When I came to Ying Lian, I stared at her pretty face and said straight to the point: "Did Chu Yaoyao ask you to come to me?" ”
Ying Lian didn't answer my question directly, but pointed to the boat and said, "Get on the boat, it's going to rain!" ”
I looked up at the overcast sky, and a storm was coming. There was only one person on the boat, so I was still worried that she would harm me? I came to the boat, and Ying Lian pointed to the bamboo oars on the bow of the boat.
I paddled the boat to the middle of the river with a bamboo oar, and by this time the rain had already fallen, and countless ripples were forming on the otherwise calm surface of the river.
I put down my oars, sat down in the cabin, and let the boat drift along the river.
Ying Lian smiled: "I have always let people follow you." ”
I smiled and said, "If it weren't for those two lines of poetry you recited in the palace, I would have thought that Miss Ying had some special thoughts about me. ”
A hint of shame flashed over Ying Lianqiao's face, and he whispered: "If it weren't for being entrusted by someone, I wouldn't bother to pay attention to you." ”
I laughed, but I was cute.
Ying Lian restrained her smile: "You are right, the reason why I came to find you is indeed entrusted by Yaoyao, I know that you came to Chu this time not only to escort the Seventh Princess to complete the marriage, but also to rescue your mother." ”
Since I confirmed that Ying Lian was commissioned by Chu Yaoyao, I guessed that she must have learned a lot, maybe she could give me a lot of help, I whispered, "Why didn't Yaoyao come to see me in person?" ”
Ying Lian sighed softly: "I can't help myself, otherwise why would you entrust me to help you?" ”
I nodded slowly: "What is Yaoyao's true identity?" ”
Ying Lian's beautiful eyes looked at me with a little dissatisfaction: "Lu Xiaogui, as far as I know, you came to rescue Lu Yihong this time, but it seems that you are more interested in Chu Yaoyao." ”
I laughed a little awkwardly.
"If you really want me to help you, from now on, you must not ask any questions related to Yaoyao." ”
"Okay!"
Ying Pian said: "Lu Yihong came to Chu State this time to rescue Huo Guo Ji Mu. ”
"Ji Mu?" The name was quite unfamiliar to me, and I had no idea who Ji Mu was.
"He is the younger brother of Ji Xu, the monarch of Huo Guoguo, because he killed Ji Xiang and usurped the throne, and he was exiled to Chu State."
I asked puzzled, "Ji Mu and Lu ...... What is the relationship with my mother? ”
Ying Lian blinked: "I don't know much about this matter, but I heard that their relationship is extraordinary." (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the WWW.CMFU.COM, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) (To be continued.) )
