Chapter 22 The Three Mountains Are Unfavorable

Previous Chapter

"Grandpa Bao: There is a woman outside the city gate who called the door, saying that she was fleeing from Hebei and came to the capital to find relatives and asked to enter the city."

Xu Huizu furrowed his brows. The Yan army even went down to Liuhe, Puzikou, Gaozigang, Guazhou, and the complete battlefield of the Jingshi territory, and the people along the river had fled and left, and the people of the capital wanted to run out at this moment to avoid military disasters, and they were unable to do so because of martial law. At this time, there was a woman who fled from Hebei all the way to enter the capital?

He ordered, "Bring her to me." ”

Ye Laixiang followed the herald of Wei Guogong and entered Wei Guogong's command post. Xu Huizu waved his hand, and the herald retreated, closing the door, and only the two of them were left in the room.

Xu Huizu did not speak immediately, but carefully observed the night primrose.

She was in her early twenties, neat and simple in her clothes, and looked a little nervous, but not panicked. She had a strange ugly appearance - a huge scar on her face, which looked like a burn, starting from the right corner of her forehead, burning off half of her right eyebrow, extending from the center of her eyebrow to the bridge of her nose, covering almost the entire left cheek, and it was difficult to see her true face. He saw those eyes, calm and quiet, revealing a kind of courage and firmness rarely seen in the eyes of women, as well as extraordinary self-control. The eyes were looking at themselves quietly, looking straight without shying away, open and not transparent, deep and unfathomable; There is a power in his eyes, is it sophisticated? Is it the vicissitudes of life? Is it control? Is it pride? He couldn't say it. There is also a woman's gentleness and demureness in that light, but there is not the slightest obedience; He didn't know what it was, but he knew that this power was very powerful and unsubdued, so he couldn't help but be secretly frightened. This woman looks at her dress and dresses up, she is a commoner, but at this moment, facing herself as the Duke of Wei, although she is only standing quietly, her calmness and wisdom during this period are similar to her eldest sister Princess Yan, which makes ordinary men out of reach. However, compared with Princess Zhiyan, she is a little more unruly, a little less dignified and elegant, and it can be seen that her background is by no means noble.

Nightshade was also observing Wei Guogong. She didn't know who the Sanshan Gate guard in front of her was. She saw that his face was handsome and resolute, and his eyes were deep and firm, and although he was sitting, she could see at a glance that he was tall and straight; Between raising his hands and looking forward to it, he is dignified and calm, noble and majestic.

Wei Guogong finally asked, "What is the name of Madame?" ”

Ye Laixiang said: "My surname is Shen, and my name is Jiaoyun." Baoding people. ”

"What are you doing in the capital?"

Ye Laixiang said: "I came to the capital to look for relatives. ”

"Who?"

"I'm my cousin."

Xu Huizu's sword eyebrows frowned slightly.

"The war is so tense, and all the Jingshi are under martial law, why did Mrs. come here to look for relatives at this time?"

Ye Laixiang said: "I came to look for him, not to fulfill the marriage contract, but because my father died early, my mother recently died of illness, and my brother went out with the Yan army before and has died in battle. I had no choice but to come to him. ”

"Have you seen this cousin you're looking for?"

"It's just a marriage, and I haven't seen it. All I know is that he lives in the Jinghua Inn in the capital. ”

"Jinghua Inn? What's his name? ”

"My cousin's surname is Jing, and the word is Yuluo."

Xu Huizu thought for a moment.

"What day did Madame leave Baoding?"

Nightshade has been prepared for a long time.

"April 28th."

"How did you get here?"

"Most of the time hitchhiking. Walk when you can't get a ride. ”

Xu Huizu said: "Mrs. is a native of Beiping, why do you lie that she is from Baoding?" ”

Nightshade smiled, not panicking. "How do you know?"

Xu Huizu carefully observed every trace of her expression.

"Madame's accent."

Ye Laixiang said: "I was indeed born and raised in Beiping; When I was fifteen years old, my brother was transferred to Baoding with the army, and my mother and I also moved to Baoding, so my accent never changed. ”

"Dare to ask Madame how expensive you are this year?"

"I'm twenty-one."

Xu Huizu pondered for a moment and said, "Madame, let's rest here for a while, and wait until I send someone to the Jinghua Inn, invite Gongzi Jing, and confess my relatives in person, before I can let Madame enter the city." ”

Ye Laixiang replied: "So, thank you general." ”

Xu Huizu's heart suddenly moved, and he said: "A certain surname Xu, named Huizu, was ordered by the Son of Heaven to guard the Sanshan Gate; Jingshi is now in an extraordinary period, and not a single bird dares to let it in casually; Everything is needed by the military situation, and I hope that Mrs. will not be surprised. ”

Yelaixiang said: "Grandpa is serious; But follow the arrangement of the adults. ”

Xu Huizu stopped talking, got up and walked out of the room.

He walked outside and ordered Jing Yuluo to come over to the Jinghua Inn and bring it directly to him. Then he returned to the city defenses and looked around, somewhat absent-minded.

When he said his name, the woman immediately changed her name to Grandpa; She knew herself.

The story she narrates, from beginning to end, has no loopholes. However, no matter how you look at it, she is not the daughter of the ordinary family in the story, she has a cousin who is married to her fingertips, and she also came to join her cousin.

So what should she be? Who the hell is she like?

She is not shy about it, she is a person from King Yan's territory. The people who come up from the territory of King Yan do not necessarily have anything to do with King Yan. Of course, it is entirely possible that she said this because she knew that she couldn't hide her Beiping accent.

As far as he knew, Beiping had also been under martial law; I am afraid that this is why she claimed that she had moved to Baoding before the war began.

In this way, everything can be true and false.

He had to wait and see what Jing Yuluo had to say.

The herald came back with Jing Yuluo and found Xu Huizu on the city defense.

Xu Huizu led Jing Yuluo down the city wall, walked to a place where no one was, and asked:

"Jing Gongzi is a native of Jinling, I don't know if he is a distant cousin in Beiping and Baoding?"

Jing Yuluo was stunned: "It's hard to say." Who doesn't have a few distant relatives scattered all over the country? As for whether it is in Beiping and Baoding, I don't know. ”

"Then, does Jing Gongzi have a distant cousin who is married?"

Jing Yuluo thought for a moment. "Maybe, there are many poor relatives, and there are all kinds of strange things."

Xu Huizu looked at him attentively. "You mean, you don't know?"

Jing Yuluo shook his head: "I've never heard of it." ”

"Shen Jiaoyun's name, do you have an impression at your feet?"

Jing Yuluo frowned. "Shen Jiaoyun?"

He pondered it for a moment. "Shen Jiaoyun, Shen Jiaoyun...... Not impressed. Oh no! ——”

He stopped suddenly; A strange thought struck him suddenly, and it grabbed him instantly.

Shen Jiaoyun, Shen Jiaoyun...... Shen Jiaoyun? A cousin who is married? What the hell!

He said, "Grandpa, I do have some impressions. I'm sure I've heard the name, but to be honest, I've had a long memory, and I think I heard it when I was a child, and I can't remember what it is. ”

Xu Huizu looked at him quietly for a moment. Then, after a moment of contemplation, he said:

"There's nothing else, Mr. Jing, please go back."

Jing Yuluo was not reconciled - he began to be really anxious. He asked:

"Grandpa, what the hell is going on? There must be a reason why you brought me in for questioning. Who is Shen Jiaoyun? I must know her, but I can't remember her for a while. ”

Xu Huizu shook his head and said, "It's nothing; Jing Gongzi, please go back, thank you for your advice. ”

He called the herald and said, "Send Jing Gongzi back to the Jinghua Inn." ”

With that, he pulled out his legs and walked away; Jing Yuluo still wanted to speak, but he didn't know what to say, so he had to look at the back of Wei Guogong leaving and sighed.

Xu Huizu called one of his scouts and asked:

"Do you remember that I once asked you to investigate the details of Jing Yuluo? Do you remember the details? Elaborate on it again. ”

After the scout finished repeating it, Xu Huizu waved him away and walked back to the command post.

Shen Jiaoyun, Shen Jiaoyun - Shen Jiaoyun; Hell yes.
