Chapter 59: Several Storms (Part II)
Yuwentai didn't have a smile on his face, and said lightly, "With me Yuwentai here, don't get involved in Guanzhong." His tone was light but unquestionable. Hou Jing listened to the coldness of his voice, and felt more and more troublesome, regretting that he should not come to Chang'an.
Yu Wentai made a "please" gesture and turned around and walked inside.
Hou Jing saw that his back was not in a hurry, he was extremely calm and moderate, and he felt even more unstable in his heart, and followed two steps and shouted, "General! ”
Yu Wentai stopped and looked back at Hou Jingdao, "This has nothing to do with the public. ”
It was nearly noon, and somehow the weather was getting gloomy again. The weather in spring is changeable, the morning sun is still bright as summer, and the cold wind is already circling at noon like the winter solstice. Cui Jishu saw Gao Cheng frowning and leaning on the couch with his eyes closed, and knew that he was suffering from a recurrence of an old disease, and he was afraid that he was also angry. This time I came to Chang'an, and it was really not smooth.
During the lunch meal, Gao Cheng tasted it lightly, not only did he have no appetite, but he also felt cold as ice, and he felt sick to his stomach when he saw the food. Cui Jishu was as anxious as an ant on a pot, and was about to go out to discuss countermeasures with Chen Yuankang, when suddenly a waiter came in from outside, holding a small and cute green pottery bowl in his hand, and steam rose from it like smoke.
Not only that, Cui Jishu only felt that as soon as this waiter came in, the room was fragrant. The fragrance is light, familiar and unfamiliar. Gao Cheng seemed to smell the fragrance as well, he opened his eyes and sat up straight, his eyes were like a dream. It seems to see the endless prairie of Huaishuo, the lit bonfire, and the cow bone soup with white steam and milky flavor...... Suddenly, it seems to have returned to Luoyang, Yongning Tower, the Great Wei Palace, the court, and the Bohai Palace, how much bloody taste and endless sorrow......
Gao Cheng stared at the pottery bowl in the waiter's hand and suddenly stood up, and asked urgently, "What is this?" Where did it come from? ”
The waiter replied, "The post master heard that the prince was sick, and he specially ordered someone to send medicinal food. ”
Gao Cheng didn't speak, and he was suspicious in his heart. The bitter medicinal aroma is long and long, mixed with a hint of cereal-like sweetness.
The waiter neatly put down the pottery bowl and served a bowl to Gao Cheng.
"Wait!" Cui Jishu hurriedly drank it. But before the following words could be spoken, Gao Cheng had already stopped him with gestures.
Gao Cheng took the bowl, the soup in the bowl was clear, and the color was snow-white and light purple, he was actually aroused by his appetite, and he couldn't help but scoop the soup into his mouth.
Cui Jishu looked at Gao Cheng with wide eyes, extremely nervous.
All of Gao Cheng's attention was focused on the bowl of soup in his hand. He was engrossed in eating a bowl of soup cleanly, not only did he not regurgitate his stomach, but felt that his internal organs had completely warmed up, and his stomach was particularly comfortable. A hint of spicy and slightly spicy flavor stimulates the taste buds and seems to ignite a warmth between the spleen and stomach.
"Shizi!" Cui Jishu saw him stunned and called out loudly.
Gao Cheng put down the bowl and sat back on the couch and asked the waiter, "Who made this soup?" ”
The waiter didn't expect him to ask this question, and he was speechless for a while. However, seeing that he could not distinguish between joy and anger on his face, he felt frightened in his heart, and replied hesitantly, "Yes...... Be...... The postmaster ......"
Unexpectedly, Gao Cheng stood up "Teng", stepped forward and grabbed the waiter's collar and asked angrily, "Say, who is it!" ”
The waiter was so frightened that he cried out for help, but Gao Cheng strangled him by the neck as if to put the person to death, and asked, "Do you say it?" ”
Cui Jishu was also shocked, and he didn't know why Gao Cheng suddenly burst into anger.
At this time, Chen Yuankang's voice suddenly sounded outside, "Shizi, Marquis Jing of Puyang asks to see you." ”
Gao Cheng immediately quieted down, and he slowly let go of his hand. Cui Jishu secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. The waiter was thrown to the ground, not daring to make any more noise, only secretly rejoicing.
Gao Cheng's calm expression calmed down, and he didn't look at the waiter, as if he had forgotten what had just happened. As he walked towards the couch, he commanded, "Please come in." He sat down on the couch and waited.
After a while, sure enough, he saw Hou Jing come in, and Chen Yuankang silently followed behind.
Hou Jing came in and saw Gao Cheng sitting on the couch with a peaceful expression, Cui Jishu standing on the side, and no one else. And the expressions of these two people couldn't tell what had happened just now, and Hou Jing even suspected that he had heard Gao Cheng's angry voice outside just now because he had heard it wrong. Just about to pretend to say a few words of warmth, Gao Cheng was faster than him.
"Puyang Gong is hard, hard." Gao Cheng greeted him with a smile and got up from the couch.
"It should be like this, it should be like this, the son of the world is safe?" Hou Jing also immediately smiled on his face.
"It's okay, it's okay. I can't rest after a long time of hard work, so it's getting late today, so let's go back and rest first. Gao Cheng was so considerate, and he didn't even ask a word about seeing Yuwentai and Yuan Bao Torch.
"The prince is tolerant," Hou Jing motioned for Gao Cheng to sit down, but he stood on the ground and replied with a guilty face, "It is not good to be a teacher, and it is not good to be a teacher, and it is a failure to live up to the trust of the prime minister and the servant." Yuwentai knew that I was loyal to the prime minister and had no personal relationship with me, so today I really lost face......" Hou Jing seemed ashamed and couldn't say it anymore.
Gao Cheng still looked at Hou Jing with a smile on his face, but he didn't say a word.
Cui Jishu and Chen Yuankang didn't dare to speak.
Hou Jing paused and said, "Guanzhong is lost." ”
Gao Cheng smiled, "Puyang's words are unreasonable. Guanzhong has never been in the palm of our hands, so where does the word 'loss' come from? It doesn't matter if Guanzhong is in our hands or not, what matters is who is in Guanzhong now. He Bayue is dead, and the Duke of Puyang should take credit for it today, and there is no need to regret it. ”
Gao Cheng got up from the couch, walked to Hou Jing's side again, pressed his shoulder, and motioned for him to sit down.
Hou Jing heard Gao Cheng say that He Bayue was dead, and he should have taken credit, but now he clearly felt that there was a handle that fell into Gao Cheng's hands. Thinking of all the hints of the day, it seems that today I fell into the trap of this humble child. Now he's pushed it clean. The hatred in his heart was deeper, but his face was silent, still full of regret, and he only said, "The son of the world understands." ”
"He Bayue still doesn't dare to fight in Japan, let alone Yuwentai?" Gao Cheng suddenly asked again, "Didn't Daxingtai say anything?" ”
Hou Jing lowered his head to listen to him, and when he heard this abrupt question, he didn't answer. After thinking about it for a while, I realized that Gao Cheng was asking about the ingot torch. Hurriedly replied, "Guanzhong is all in the hands of Yuwentai, and the ingots torch puppet ear." ”
"That's good, that's good. Puyang Gong should rest early. Gao Cheng smiled.
Seeing Hou Jing quit and go out and be quiet for a moment, Chen Yuankang asked, "Shizi, won't we wait for a futile return?" ”
Cui Jishu sighed, "The Lord values Yuwentai, is Yuwentai really the same heart as the Lord?" ”
Gao Cheng looked at Cui Jishu and said with a smile, "Brother Uncle Zheng's eyes are very poisonous. Suddenly, he smiled, as if he had thought of something, and turned to Chen Yuankang and instructed, "Brother Changyou, send someone back to the capital to greet the queen, and ask Your Highness to pay attention to the Lord." ”
In the dark of night, Cui Jishu had something to do and couldn't sleep steadily, standing under the verandah outside the house to admire the moon. There was no wind or rain, and the night sky was clear. The deep and transparent sky is dotted with stars, and the moon is still very round and bright if you don't look closely, and it is hanging high on the cornices of Yunmengtai in the distance.
Cui Jishu suddenly felt that there seemed to be someone in the moon. I thought I was dazzled, and I opened my eyes and took a closer look: I saw a woman in white in a long-sleeved gauze in the moon from a distance. How could this be, he stared at the moon in surprise. Is the woman in white really Chang'e in the Guanghan Palace? At this moment, the woman in white seemed to have descended into the world, descending from the moon to the eaves of Yunmengtai, delicate and light like a flexible willow.
Before Cui Jishu could figure out what was going on, the woman in white had already flown down from the corner of the high Yunmeng Terrace. His clothes were fluttering, and he was like a wind in the wind, as if he was coming for him. The girl's hair was half tied and half scattered, the top of her hair was shining, and the hair scattered on the back of her neck was blown by the wind on her shoulders and chest, she really seemed to come with the wind.
Getting closer and closer, Cui Jishu suddenly felt that the girl in white was familiar, and just as she was about to exclaim, she had already passed in front of him blindly. Cui Jishu turned to look for Chen Yuankang and his subordinates, and suddenly felt that it was inappropriate.
At this moment, a bearded man in the bushes not far away saw all this clearly.
In the dark, Gao Cheng, who had not slept soundly, felt that there was something unusual. Although he did not get up, he had already opened his eyes. His eyes were extremely sharp, and he immediately saw a figure flash by the window. Hurriedly jumped up, walked to the window, stretched out his hand to push open the window, immediately took a step back, and called loudly, "Chen Yuankang!" ”
Before Gao Cheng could finish speaking, he suddenly saw a woman in white flying diagonally through the window that he had pushed open. Before Gao Cheng could see this person's face clearly, he had already been grabbed by the woman in white by the belt at the back of his waist, and then she took advantage of the situation and flew out of the window with him. Suddenly, a faint fragrance soaked his thoughts.
Cui Jishu watched Gao Cheng's hair fall apart, and he was taken away by the woman in white with only his middle clothes, and disappeared behind Yunmengtai in the distance. He had already remembered.
At this time, Chen Yuankang had already arrived, and saw that Cui Jishu was still standing in place and staring into the distance, and there seemed to be a faint smile on his lips. rushed into the pavilion and searched carefully, the prince was long gone, and the window of the inner bedroom was wide open. Chen Yuankang hurriedly rushed out again and asked Cui Jishu, "What about the son?" Still not looking for it? ”
Cui Jishu smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, the general doesn't have to be anxious, don't spoil the good things of the prince, if you want to get the prince back, you really have to be angry with the general." ”
Chen Yuankang looked at Cui Jishu suspiciously. Cui Jishu looked left and right, and leaned over Chen Yuankang and whispered in his ear for a while. Chen Yuankang was obviously relieved, but he didn't dare to be careless, so he still sent people to secretly guard the various exits of Chaoyunyi and closely watch the movements.
And all this was clearly seen by the bearded man in the bushes.
Gao Cheng was led by the woman in white to fly like the wind, and instantly swept over Yunmengtai. The girl slowly descended to the top of Yunmengtai, she tapped the cane railing above the high pavilion with her toes, stood on the railing, but threw Gao Cheng on the ground in the newspaper building outside the window of the railing.
"Shunhua!" Gao Cheng couldn't help but call out this name that slept peacefully in his heart to the point of almost being forgotten, but jumped out of it in an instant. Who else can kidnap him so easily, and take such a heavy blow to him? It seemed that the depression of the past few days had been swept away in his heart.
"Boom", but there was a flash of silver light in front of him, Gao Cheng, who was about to jump up, was forced back to the ground by the sword pointed at his throat, lying motionless and not daring to move, looking up at Yang Shunhua, who had flown down from the railing and stood in front of him with a sword.
He looked up at her. The sky behind Yang Shunhua was high and far away, and the slightly missing ice tray reflected the fluttering white-clothed woman in front of her, who was really like a fairy. She looked at Gao Cheng with ice in her eyes, and only said coldly, "The princess is waiting for you inside." ”
