Who is he calling?

Kang Nanen's heart woke up suddenly. Although she had thought that he had other wives, she had never met them after all. has been in Yecheng for a long time, even if she is of a different race, she can also know the scene in the boudoir of high-ranking officials and eunuchs.

It turned out that she didn't go to her heart, and those things had nothing to do with her. She never thought that she would marry into a family of high gates, she only hoped that her husband would be a Lite, a Sogdian who worshipped the god of light as much as she did. Then, she was going to go back to the Western Regions with him, to Samarkand of her dreams, or to the city of Zhaowu. She is his wife, equal to him, she has status.

But since she saw this young high-ranking official of Great Wei in the wine shop, her heart has changed. At first I just quietly remembered him. She also knew that in the end she would slowly forget about him.

Mazda, the god of light, did not abandon her. After going through so many changes, she was alone, and she was actually guided by God to meet him again so far away outside Chenggao City. She was so happy that she decided to be his wife, to be with him all her life, and that she would not abandon him. She renounced the Sogdian girl's right to abandon her husband and was willing to follow him.

She followed him to Guangling, crossed the Yangtze River, and went to Jiankang. Gradually, she felt that things were not what she had thought. Her husband is not only a high-ranking official of the Great Wei, but even a person who is more important than the emperor of the Great Wei. Why did he come to Daliang, she didn't know, and she didn't want to ask. Later, she became pregnant, she had his child, and she was ecstatic. I want to go back to Yecheng with him, and I want to be with him and their children in the future, and become a real family.

It turned out that his position in Great Wei was really so important that even the emperor of Daliang did not dare to snub him. Who is he?

When they were getting close that day, someone suddenly broke in. Later, the maidservant girl told her that the boy in men's clothes was actually a girl, and she was Princess Daliang.

The "Your Highness" called by the husband is her, right? She didn't understand it even more, he was a minister of Da Wei, and she was the princess of Da Liang, how could they know each other?

Of course he wouldn't tell her. Even though she had his child, he was not as excited and ecstatic as she was. He was often absent from the inn, and she couldn't even see him. He would always frown in contemplation, and look at her thoughtfully, as if she were some problem.

She waited for guidance from Mazda, the goddess of light.

Kang Naning wanted to withdraw his hand, but Gao Cheng held it hard and refused to let go.

"Lord Lang!" Cui Jishu's voice came from the wooden ladder again.

Kang Naning knew that this Dawei official, who was as fat as a dough, was his husband's henchman, and he would disturb them at any time, and her husband had never been angry, and he didn't seem to be afraid of him seeing it.

Kang Naning didn't know that even in the Yecheng General's Mansion, in the inner bed of the princess Yuan Zhonghua, he would sometimes be broken into by this white and fat official. He's been used to it for a long time.

"Lord Lang! Lord Lang!! Cui Jishu didn't come up yet, and continued to shout.

Of course, the slave at the door would not stop him.

Gao Cheng was finally woken up, opened his eyes, and saw Kang Naning's big brown eyes in front of him. He let go of her hand and just wanted to say something to her, but Cui Jishu had already broken in.

Cona Ning knew they had something to say, and she went out.

Cui Jishu was a little surprised to see Gao Cheng looking sick and sleepy-eyed. Gao Cheng was not on his side when he was wounded by an arrow on the river bridge, and he did not know the pain he suffered at that time.

"What?" Gao Cheng reminded him and motioned for him to sit down.

"Jiankang Palace sent people, Emperor Liang asked the prince to go to Tongtai Temple tomorrow." Cui Jishu sat in the place where Kang Naning was sitting just now, and looked at Gao Cheng after speaking, not knowing if his arrow wound recurred or not.

Gao Cheng suddenly sobered up.

Emperor Liang made an appointment to meet, this is to talk about business. But for such an important matter, why didn't you summon it in Jiankang Palace, but go to Tongtai Temple? Emperor Liang has been avoiding it these days, and he is also anxious. Yecheng has been away for too long, will there be trouble? He was also anxious to put an end to this matter, and then hurried back to Yecheng.

"You said the prince met Hou Jing a few days ago?" Gao Cheng suddenly asked.

Cui Jishu recalled, "Yes, summoned separately, and Xiao Zhengde." The hour is not short. ”

Emperor Liang is narrow-minded, and Tongtai Temple is a very sensitive place, Cui Jishu has a bad premonition in his heart.

Gao Cheng felt the same way. If it is such a thing as an alliance between the two countries, you can talk about it in Jiankang Palace in a dignified manner, why do you have to go to Tongtai Temple?

Because the Black Dragon Lake Palace is between the mountains and rocks, and there are many dense forests and sparse bamboos, it feels particularly empty at night. The crown prince Xiao Gang returned to the Jiankang Palace, leaving only the grandson Xiao Daqi and the princess Xiao Qiongju of Liyang to live temporarily in the palace.

The princess has always been recuperating from illness and living in a simple house. Taisun Xiao came to visit. The palace is heavily guarded, especially at night.

Late at night, a few slaves and maids who were on night duty outside the pavilion where Princess Liyang lived suddenly saw a white shadow falling from the sky in front of them.

Yang Shunhua walked in front of them without squinting and with a cold face, as if Ling Bo had disappeared without a trace. The slaves and maids understood that the little lady of the Yang family was the princess's confidant, and they also knew that she was powerful in martial arts, so they didn't dare to ask more, so they let Yang Shunhua enter the pavilion.

Princess Liyang didn't feel sleepy tonight, she always felt that something was on her mind, and she couldn't say what was going on, so she just tossed and turned on the couch. Later, I heard the door of the building below open, and another slave and maid spoke softly. Then she heard the wooden ladder creaking and the footsteps were light, and she immediately got up and called "Sister".

"Your Highness." Outside the bed tent, it was Yang Shunhua who answered.

Then I heard Yang Shunhua tell the slave to go out.

Xiao Qiongju picked up the bed tent by herself and was about to come out.

Yang Shunhua had already walked over and gently pressed her shoulder, and Xiao Qiongju sat back on the couch. Yang Shunhua also sat down on the couch and put the bed tent down again. The two of them sat side by side on the couch, Xiao Qiongju felt strange, and suddenly Yang Shunhua whispered in her ear, "Your Highness, the monarch of the family will give advice to the lord and the prince, and see the general in Tongtai Temple tomorrow, and when the time comes, act and kill him." ”

Xiao Qiongju's heart sank suddenly, and she immediately wanted to get up, but she quickly controlled herself and sat back down. Her first thought was to go to the palace immediately, to Dutingyi, to tell Gao Cheng, and even thought of how to prepare the boat to order Lanjing to send him across the river and send him back to Yecheng.

At this moment, I clearly understood that he was her life. She didn't have to think about herself, as long as he was safe, she could pay as much as she wanted.

But she is not the innocent little princess she used to be. She quickly calmed down. It is not difficult for her to travel to the palace, and she will arrive immediately when she goes to the pavilion. But to send Gao Cheng out of Jiankang City, to the riverside, and to cross the river, the obstacles in the middle cannot be solved by herself.

Besides, Gao Cheng is an envoy of Wei, so unclear and unclear from Jiankang without saying goodbye, he does not pay attention to faith in Liang, and he loses his courtiership in Wei. is so criticized and criticized, how can he gain a foothold in the Great Wei Dynasty in the future?

Is this news really reliable? If you don't leave, how can you help him this time? Thinking about it, Liang and Wei are good friends, and everyone is temporarily safe, which is a good thing for both Liang and Wei. Why did Yang Kan offer this plan? Why did my grandfather and father listen to him?

Yang Shunhua sat with her beside her. Although she hid her voice just now and pretended to be calm, she could hear that her voice was eager and anxious, and she must have been deeply concerned about Gao Cheng. Although she sat beside her at this moment, although she didn't speak, the rhythm of her breathing was clearly discerning, and her heart was beating so fast, she must be full of him, right?

Xiao Qiongju pressed down on all kinds of complicated thoughts in her heart and whispered softly, "Sister, who told you?" ”

"Your Highness, it's my brother who said that." Yang Shunhua knew that the princess was afraid that the news would be unreliable, but what her brother Yang Yu said would not be wrong.

Xiao Qiongju's heart was also settled, although this was extremely bad news, but now it is certain that it is true. Moreover, it is certain that since Yang Yu told his sister the news, it means that Yang Yu did not approve of killing Gao Cheng either. The sheep bird acquiesced that her sister would tell her the news.

If his grandfather, the emperor, his father, the crown prince and Yang Kan had already decided that Gao Cheng would be killed in Tongtai Temple tomorrow, now the people on his side have Yang Shunhua and Yang Yan, all of whom are opposed. Who else? Will you oppose this, will you help her? Xiao Qiongju thought repeatedly in her heart.

"Your Highness, aren't you going to deliver a letter to the general?" Yang Shunhua asked softly. The first thought in her heart was the same as Xiao Qiongju's, which was to send the news to Gao Cheng immediately. She didn't think about whether to live for him or die for him, but even if her father wanted to kill him, she would definitely protect him to the end.

Xiao Qiongju had a lot of thoughts in her heart. Among them, whether to send a message to Gao Cheng or not. If the person who wants to kill him or the person who wants to disadvantage him when he sends the news is alarmed, will it cause more and greater trouble? She always felt that Dutingyi was not a safe and reliable place. But I can't tell what's wrong.

Finally, she said softly, "Sister, you go and send a message to the general." She thought, only Yang Shunhua is the most suitable person for this matter. She can enter and leave the palace at will, and no one suspects her, and she can also enter and leave the Duting Station at will, so that people can't touch their whereabouts. She only needs to come and go alone, without bringing people, and she can try to avoid being noticed.

Yang Shunhua was silent.

Of course she wanted to go, so she quickly told Gao Cheng the news. But when the princess said such a thing, I don't know what Xiao Qiongju's mood was.

"Sister, you go," Xiao Qiongju's voice was soft and warm in her ears, "Don't let anyone notice, don't let anyone know." You just tell him, let the general make his own decisions, and then come back and tell me his decisions. As long as Gao Cheng made a decision, she would help him go with his own wishes.

With a drizzle and a breeze, the night in Gangnam is humid and muggy.

It was pitch black outside, no moonlight, no lights. Gao Cheng lay on the bed without sleep, and the sound of raindrops was in his ears, boring and monotonous, making him feel annoyed and chaotic.

There was a "click", and the tightly closed windows were swayed by the wind, and the sound was particularly clear and penetrating in the dark night.

Gao Cheng listened quietly, and apart from this sound, he didn't hear any other sound. The weather in Jiangnan was humid and rainy, causing his arrow wound to recur, and he always felt a dull pain, and when the pain was severe, it penetrated into his heart. One is because of the pain in the injury, and the other is because what Cui Jishu said just now caused him a lot of doubts.

Cui Jishu went back to sleep.

Cona Ning also slept.

The slaves who kept vigil probably fell asleep outside the curtain, right?

Only he himself, tossing and turning, felt that the injury hurt badly.

It was probably the slave who was keeping vigil who was awakened by the sound of his clothes, and the sound of cautious footsteps.

The bed tent was suddenly lifted. The slave had clearly not yet come in. Gao Cheng suddenly woke up and reached out to touch the dagger under the golden pillow.

"General......" The voice of a softly whispered girl reached his ears in the darkness.

Gao Cheng immediately recognized that it was Yang Shunhua.

"Lord Lang." The voice of the slave came from outside, very soft, as if to test whether he was asleep, and as if to ask him if he was okay.

Gao Cheng quickly pulled Yang Shunhua into his arms, hugged her back to the couch, hugged her tightly and turned over to the inside of the bed. The bed curtain hung down behind him.

Then the slave and maid came in.

"Is Lord Lang okay?" The slave felt strange because she heard the sound of the window just now, and there was no wind outside.

"You don't have to stay outside." Gao Cheng commanded impatiently.

When the slave heard this, she thought that it was the Lang master's injury that she couldn't sleep, and she was upset because she asked too much, so she didn't dare to ask again, so she retreated. After a while, I heard the sound of the wooden ladder again, and the slave and maid had already gone downstairs.

Gao Cheng hugged Yang Shunhua motionlessly, and Yang Shunhua also let him hold him in his arms motionless. She was rarely so well-behaved and obedient to him, and he was really reluctant to let go of her.

Both of them listened attentively, until there was no sound outside, and after making sure that the slave had left, Gao Cheng asked softly, "Why did Qing suddenly come here?" ”

Her clothes and hair were slightly damp. If it weren't for something, it wouldn't have come in the rain at night.

"Tomorrow, someone in Tongtai Temple wants to kill the general." Yang Shunhua also whispered softly.

Her voice was in his ears, her breath was in front of him. This soft whisper seemed to her much gentler, no longer so far away, so cold.

Gao Cheng felt her body tremble lightly and hugged her tightly. My heart suddenly woke up. No wonder Emperor Liang wanted to summon him at Tongtai Temple. After all, to kill him openly in the Jiankang Palace and openly kill him, the Wei envoy, is really a loss of the Liang national body. In Tongtai Temple, you can do it without revealing traces. Emperor Liang believed in Buddhism, and he could even think of ending his life in the temple, which was really ruthless.

"How do you know?" Gao Cheng's heart is settled at the moment, as long as the matter is clear, he no longer has doubts. is more moved, Yang Shunhua is so concerned about his safety. Such news must be a secret within a secret, and she could still do everything she could to tell him, and he couldn't help but appreciate it.

Yang Shunhua was silent. I like the sense of stability in his arms, I like his breath. For her, such a time is probably only this moment in her life. Eventually, she gently pushed him away. "The princess found out, it was inconvenient to leave the palace, and ordered me to send a message to the general. The princess asked the general to decide for herself, whether to go back to the appointment with Taiji Temple tomorrow? If the general does not go, the princess is willing to do her best to escort the general back to Wei; If she still goes, the princess will try to keep the general's life safe. The general doesn't have to remember my feelings, it's all the princess who cares about the general. ”
