Chapter 19: An Unexpected Encounter

Situ Hou Jing was favored by the emperor because of his merits in the mountains. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoWhen the news of King Gao's critical injury was spread in Yecheng, Hou Jing became a hot figure in a subtle way. Emperor Yuan Shanjian's banquet not only summoned the general Gao Cheng again and again, but also Hou Jing was indispensable every time.

Not only that, Emperor Yuan Shanjian, Jibei Wang Yuanhui and others were particularly close and friendly to Hou Jing. Invisibly, this is a kind of demonstration for Gao Cheng, and in the eyes of others, it will become an embarrassment for the general.

Since the general of Wuwei, Hou He, who had rightfully received his father's promise, regarded himself as the son of the county prince. Because I unconsciously looked forward to the day when I could be like Gao Cheng and use my father's power to rise to the top, not only did I not listen to my father's advice to get close to Gao Cheng, but I stuck to the county mansion all day long and refused to leave.

On this day, Hou Jing received a letter from Xiao Zhengde, the king of Linhe County in Southern Liang, before he was called into the palace. Hou Jing didn't expect Xiao Yi, the king of Xiangdong who was far away in Yecheng, to reflect it quickly. Xiao Yi seemed to be in the seclusion of Lin Quanshe, but the news that he would be trapped in Jiankang in a few days reached the heavens and reached the ears of his father Emperor Liang Xiao Yan, Hou Jing was really a little surprised, regretting that he underestimated this "Qilang" and underestimated his position in Emperor Liang's heart.

I didn't expect the envoy secretly sent by Emperor Liang to arrive in Yecheng so soon, which shows that Emperor Liang values the love of children. This point can be put to good use, and Hou Jing even decided to grasp Xiao Zhengde, the king of Linhe County, who was already in his hands, and Xiao Gang, the prince who was on the front line with him.

But you can't let go of the opportunity in front of you, no matter what, you have to create more trouble for Gao Cheng. is annoying and chaotic, otherwise it is not enough for Gao Cheng to mess with himself, and he will not be able to profit from it.

Hou He sat on the side and observed his father for a long time. knew that he was reading Nan Liang's secret letter, but he didn't care about the content of the book. He had known that his father had a connection with Nan Liang, and he didn't feel strange at all with the temper of the cunning rabbit.

But Hou He felt that Nanliang was far from each other, and almost all of them were people and things that had nothing to do with him, so why should he care so much? He sat here bored, and for a while he thought about what new songs and dances he would have when he entered the palace today; After a while, I looked left and right, thinking about what kind of enjoyment it would be to hear that the general's back house had been replaced with glass covered windows? When he is the son of the world, he will also learn from it.

Hou Jing had an idea in his heart and immediately became excited. As long as he is making trouble for Gao Cheng, he is not excited. Hou He also became excited when he saw his father so scrappy.

"Where is Father going?" Seeing that his father got up and obviously wanted to go out, Hou He asked with great interest. As the future prince of the county, he felt it was his duty to accompany his father when he went to important places and met important people.

What Hou Jing wanted was to enter the palace to meet the emperor, and by the way, he pretended to reveal the news of the southern envoy's secret sneaking into Yecheng to the emperor Yuan Shanjian inadvertently. Combined with the fact that the Southern Liang Xingbing was at this time, the southern envoy came to Yecheng and secretly only went to see Xiao Yi, the king of Xiangdong, who was selected by Gao Cheng to bring back, which is very interesting. Of course, he didn't want to take Hou He's son, although Hou He was his own flesh and blood in his heart, he himself felt that this son was stupid.

It happened that the people in the palace came at this time, and summoned the county prince to the palace for a banquet. This is really right for Hou Jing.

The weather was different from when it snowed a few days ago. The weather has warmed up in the past few days, and the willow branches have turned green and the frozen soil has returned to green. And this time, the general Gao Cheng stepped into Lin Quanshe again, obviously without the leisure of that day. Not only that, but it obviously feels like it's coming in a hurry.

Nanliang is indeed Gao Cheng's heart disease at this time.

The weather is still cold, not the cold wind, but the silent cold and bone-chilling. This is also the way to go before spring is coming.

Of course, Gao Cheng didn't have the heart to pay attention to this, he just felt that the Lin Quan House was a little quiet today. It's just quiet, and I can't see any difference. He didn't know that the Liang envoy came from the south and was in the Lin Quanshe at the moment. He didn't know this news as early as Hou Jing.

The room where Xiao Yi, the king of Xiangdong, was still as dim as ever. The room was eerily quiet, and only two figures could be seen in the dimness. One sat on a few side beds, and the other stood by the window a little farther away from him.

Although it is not clear to see the expression in the dimness, for some reason, it gives people the feeling that the person by the window is always paying attention to the movement outside the window. Although he could not hear or see anything, he was clearly preoccupied with it. What could be seen clearly was that his right hand had been held on the hilt of the sword hanging from his waist, and had never been taken down.

It's a long, tall shadow.

Liu Taozhi hadn't seen a few servants since he entered the Lin Quanshe, and he would stare carefully at every one he saw. His fierce appearance was feared by everyone, and no one dared to look at him closely. Most of the servants in the Lin Quan House were from Wei. Only Xiao Yi, the king of Xiangdong, lives in the place where there are some Liang people, and there are not many of them. When the servant of Wei saw the general Gao Cheng, he was naturally extremely respectful.

The servant led the general to the place where Liang Guo's proton lived. Maybe it's because the image of the scene I saw at the beginning of the sunny day after the snow was too profound, and I always felt that today was a little too quiet and depressing. I didn't see the princess of Xiangdong come out.

The silence in the room was interrupted by the sound of the door opening. A maidservant came in and said that the general had come, and that he had entered the garden and was coming this way.

Xiao Yi subconsciously knelt up straight, understood and waved his hand to let the slave go out, and slowly sat back.

The figure by the window, although he didn't move, unconsciously turned his body and faced the doorway, as if expecting something.

The atmosphere in the room was tense, as if it was about to freeze. The silence of this moment seemed as if it had just been a dream, as if nothing had happened. However, the silence of this moment was so short. Suddenly, without warning, the door opened again. At this time, there was the voice of the slave and maid outside, and there was another magnetic, beautiful voice.

Xiao Yi and the shadow by the window both knew that the general was coming.

Time stopped at this moment.

At the door, a man in a high-crowned dress walked in, and although his gestures were plain, he exuded a kind of style.

Xiao Yi stood up straight and stared at the door, he suddenly glanced at the person by the window beside him, and finally didn't get up and walked off the bed, just kneeling on the seat like this can be regarded as a greeting.

"General." Xiao Yi didn't need to look clearly and carefully to know that it was Gao Cheng.

The man by the window still didn't move. When Xiao Yi and Gao Cheng exchanged worship, the slave quietly opened the window at his signal, and the sunlight outside suddenly penetrated into the long-dark room.

I don't know what the sun is out there is.

It turned out that Chunguang had unconsciously rendered Lin Quanshe. It's still cold when there is a brazier in the house, but when the sun shines in outside, it's a warmth that goes deep into people's hearts.

The candle was immediately useless, but it gave off that little bit of light without it. The light of the branch-shaped copper lamp on the other side of Xiao Yi was hitting Gao Cheng's cheeks, and in front of him, the light was even more useless, but faint.

When he came in, it was dim at once, and now it was suddenly bright, Gao Cheng vaguely saw someone by the window, and he looked up at the bright light coming through the window behind the person. The man's cheeks were still blurry because of the backlight. He didn't see who this man was.

Liu Taozhi, the cangtou slave who was waiting outside the door, saw that all the windows suddenly opened, he looked in vigilantly, and was a little surprised to see the shadow of the person by the window. He saw him when he was shooting by the Yangtze River in Jiankang, and it was Chen Qian, the son of the Southern Liang Gao Taishou. Seeing that Chen Qian and Liu Taozhi's hostility had decreased slightly, no matter what, Chen Qian could be regarded as having saved the general's life.

"The general is not harmed?" Chen Qian by the window could see Gao Cheng in the sun clearly. He walked slowly towards Gao Cheng, just a few steps, each step was very light and slow. However, his hand was still on the hilt of the sword, and he did not let go.

He had only seen Gao Cheng three times in total. The first time was in Jiankang Tongtai Temple, when they were all frivolous teenagers; The second time was on a rainy day by the Yangtze River in Jiankang. Compared to horse shooting, he could have won, but he himself willingly gave up. He won't be so concerned about this kind of small wins and losses. It was the third time he had seen him.

Gao Cheng is no longer the arrogant teenager in hakama and braided hair. is not the Wei envoy who tried his best to avoid the dark arrows, and he had to deal with the monarchs and ministers of the Liang State in all directions. His beautiful green eyes were calm and indifferent. He has a broad crown and a big sleeve, and his big sleeves inadvertently show his identity, he is the actual manipulator of the Wei State, the real lord of the Great Wei.

"Who are you?" Gao Cheng asked coldly, he obviously didn't care about him at all.

Chen Qian's heart felt like he had been stabbed hard, and the pain was so painful that he almost lost control. He remembered it day and night, imagining countless scenes of reunion, but he didn't expect Gao Cheng to forget him. The others were confronted by him, and he didn't even recognize him.

But he certainly doesn't get out of control. Chen Qian was wearing two bell armors, and he greeted him with a salute. The use of a military salute seems to be a covert emphasis on his identity; Chen Qian, who was saluting, had a kind of arrogance in respect, and he was unwilling to bend his waist. That majestic spirit is inadvertently revealed.

"Wu Xing, the lower official Liang is too guarded, and General Xinwu Chen Qian has come to meet the general on the order of my lord." He spoke slowly, deliberately reminding Gao Cheng.

Xiao Yi saw that Gao Cheng had already sat down on the banquet bed in a big way, and he also knelt down silently and sat back, secretly looking at these two people.

"It turned out to be Brother Zihua." Gao Cheng suddenly smiled. Just now, it was as cold as ice and it looked unattainable, but now it is thawed instantly, and the smile is like a spring breeze, and the changes before and after are simply beautiful women with a thousand faces in Chen Qian's opinion.

Chen Qian remembered it again because of this sudden memory, and this kind of intimate title also recovered in an instant, and he completely forgot the feeling of being stabbed just now.

But just this joking title Gao Cheng put him aside, and then turned to Xiao Yi, "The king of the county is in a hurry to call me, what is the matter?" ā€

Gao Cheng's tone was not as relaxed as just now, pretending to be happy, obviously with a condescending tone. Maybe he asked knowingly? Chen Qian sneaked into Yecheng, definitely not because he had a close relationship with Xiao Yi, the king of Xiangdong.

"General, most of the silk books written by Shicheng were sent to Jiankang by General Lao's henchmen. It was my father who read the silk book and was shocked. I am afraid that it is not easy to explain clearly in the reply, and it is easy to tell the truth, so I specially appointed General Chen Zihua as a special history, and General Zihua sneaked into Yecheng on a light horse to explain the truth to the general for my Emperor Liang. Xiao Yi reminded Gao Cheng of the previous events, and especially explained Chen Qian's identity.

"I see," Gao Cheng's face softened a little, then turned to Chen Qian and said with a smile, "The general is not only Emperor Liang's personal envoy, but also Zihui's guest, so you might as well sit down and talk about the intentions of His Majesty Emperor Liang, Chen Bing Sizhou." At the end of the words, although he smiled on his face, his expression was already cold. I don't know how to make Xiao Yi feel chills for no reason, and I feel that he is not quick to speak but is powerful.

Chen Qian was completely calm, and sat down on the seat opposite him according to Gao Cheng's instructions. "General, Chen Bing's Sizhou Pingyang is not my Liang soldier, my lord has never had Chen Bing's heart to provoke, and of course he will not do this. If someone deliberately provokes the dispute between Liang and Wei, please also ask the general to know that you should not easily fall for the treachery and break the alliance between Liang and Wei. ā€

Chen Qian cleanly and decisively brushed this matter off without even a hint of it, which was a bit unexpected by Gao Cheng. He originally thought that sending troops to Sizhou was not Emperor Liang, but also the crown prince Xiao Gang, but he just wanted to take the opportunity to pick up the cheap, which was really hateful. Since Chen Qian came on the orders of Emperor Liang, he must have tried his best to explain, and he also happened to admonish him to end the matter with a high-profile and reasonable attitude, which can be regarded as holding the handle of Liang Guo in his hands. He needs to calm down the border troubles with the Southern Dynasties as soon as possible, and at this critical moment, he must not be distracted and distracted by this kind of matter.

I just didn't expect Chen Qian to push it cleanly. It's not an explanation, it's not a bit of sincerity, it's just a quibble. If it weren't for the soldiers of the Liang State, how could they raise troops in the territory of the Liang State, come like the wind, and look at each other across the Huai in Pingyang, eyeing each other? Could it be that this General Xinwu is doubting whether he is deaf and clear-sighted?

Gao Cheng stared at Chen Qian, who was sitting across from him, "So Lan Jing, the Jianwei general who unified the army, is not a minister of Liang State?" Could it be that Lan Jing was not ordered by His Majesty Emperor Liang, but raised troops privately, and was abandoned by His Majesty Emperor Liang because of this? ā€

Xiao Yi didn't speak, but he actually blamed Chen Qian in his heart. If you look at it from his point of view, he should make it clear to Gao Cheng that it was the crown prince Xiao Gang who raised troops to invade the border without permission, and his father Emperor Liang really didn't know about it, so it was all the prince's fault. But after all, the emperor of Liang is still his father, and his father was deceived, so he didn't mean to break the covenant. The solution was for Emperor Liang to punish the crown prince, and then withdraw his troops back, still maintaining the peace treaty between the two countries, whichever had been agreed before.

But Xiao Yi forgot that Chen Qian and his father have now been promoted to the assassin of Yangzhou, and Chen Baxian, the military governor of the seven counties, are all henchmen of Emperor Liang, although they are not the prince's henchmen, nor are they his henchmen. Chen Qian naturally couldn't boast of his shortcomings in front of Gao Cheng, the general of the Wei State, and openly told Gao Cheng such a disgraceful thing as discord in the sect.

Xiao Yi's mind was extremely sensitive, and Chen Qian's approach made him feel wronged. (To be continued.) )
