Chapter 154: Stopping
Liu Yan always felt that Liu Zhengsheng was not quite right these days, so he invited Chu Shenxia to visit his mansion together, and the two did not take the carriage today, but slowly replaced them with walking. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In Chu Shenxia's words, it was to inspect the people's situation, Liu Yan had long been accustomed to his temper, and couldn't help but expose: "I don't know what you say? After a while, Pei Shudong and Chen Zhiming will pass by East Street and rush to Qixia Mountain to investigate. ”
Chu Shenxia smiled and said nothing, suddenly nodded into the distance with his chin, and whispered: "Speaking of Chen Zhiming, Pei Shudong has arrived." ”
Pei Shudong, who was not far away, obviously also saw the two, and immediately turned over and dismounted, and when the two approached, when he saw the leisurely and leisurely expressions on their faces, he desperately vomited bitterness and said: "Your Highness is really leisurely, I am miserable, I get up early and guard a mountain in the dark, and I don't know why." ”
Liu Yan and Chu Shenxia looked at each other and smiled, pretending not to know and asked, "What's wrong?" Didn't you and Chen Zhiming go to track down the bandits on the orders of your father? What are you doing guarding a mountain for no reason? ”
"Phew," Pei Shudong took a sip, his eyes widened, and he said indignantly, "They are the ladies of the Punishment Temple, I said that I led the troops to chase the bandits in several directions where they might escape, he had to say that the Taoist temple things are still there, they will definitely come back quietly, even if they don't come back, there must be a lot of clues left in the Taoist temple, follow the clues to check, you will definitely be able to find it." ”
"Oh? Is it? Chu Shenxia turned his head to look at Liu Yan, made a very surprised expression, and said, "I heard that Lord Chen is very talented, and he has judged cases since he was a child, so he is not the kind of conformist person in General Pei's mouth." ”
"What's more, I didn't look at the captured bandits as if they were bandits, but he had to tell me that he was a bandit, and at first I didn't suspect him, but now that I think about it, it's really confusing. According to me, just torture those people and see if they can recruit them. He's good, his mother is girly, he cares about this and that. For fear that people would not be able to endure to see the Buddha, not only did they not torture him, but treated him with courtesy, which was really speechless. What a show to meet a soldier. It's unreasonable, I think it's basically a general meeting Xiucai, the sun and the moon talking, empty talk! ”
Liu Yan laughed at his last few words and patted him on the shoulder. smiled and comforted: "Look, it's still good for you to be with him, and your speech has become level." ”
"Your Highness, don't make fun of me......" Pei Shudong saw the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and hurriedly turned back to look, and sure enough, as he expected, it was Chen Zhiming who followed.
Pei Shudong's face sank, and he hurriedly jumped on the horse, waved his whip, and didn't even remember to salute Liu Yan and leave, just thinking about leaving Chen Zhiming far behind.
Chen Zhiming was naturally very surprised by Pei Shudong's behavior. But when his eyes fell on the faces of the two people on the side of the road, he blamed them again.
The sudden low-key arrival of the two of them today really surprised Liu Zhengsheng, and when he heard the report from the guards, he hurriedly put down the official document in his hand and hurried to the door.
"Your Highness doesn't know that His Highness has come to the door in person, and he has missed the welcome, and he hopes that His Highness will forgive his sins."
Liu Yan waved his hand, a little impatient, and said, "Okay, okay, just say these polite words." What should you do if I refuse to forgive your sins? ”
Liu Zhengsheng didn't know that he was joking, thought seriously for a while, and was about to answer. The person in front of him only cared about watching the scenery around, and once praised: "Lord Liu is usually so dull and boring, this mansion is quite distinctive, this flower must have taken a lot of thought." ”
"Yes, these flowers are all cooked by my wife herself, and she never pretends to be others." Liu Zhengsheng paused. He added, "Perhaps because my wife and I have no children, my wife treats these flowers as her own children and takes good care of them." ”
Liu Yan was stunned, and retracted his smile stupidly, just looking at it all the way, he felt that these flowers were quite vibrant, which made people feel full of vitality when they looked at them, but after listening to Liu Zhengsheng's words, Liu Yan imagined in his mind that a haggard woman took care of Jiaohua all day long, and the sadness on her face was faintly visible.
This Lord Liu really doesn't understand human feelings, and he just ruined his interest in appreciating flowers.
Chu Shenxia was very interested in his wife, and asked tentatively: "****** do it yourself, there are really some shadows of queens." ”
"Don't say it, my wife and the queen do look alike, after all, they are sisters of the same mother, somewhat similar, but this temper is far from good." Liu Zhengsheng talked about his wife, his eyebrows fluttered, and he was obviously very fond of him.
"Looking at the delicate flowers along the way, I guess ******'s temper must be very gentle." Liu Yan couldn't help but ask.
Liu Zhengsheng laughed loudly and said: "Haha, Your Highness is wrong, my wife has a bad temper, and she loves to drop things when she is angry, this flower is probably a special case in her life." ”
"Don't talk about this, Your Highness is coming to visit today, so you must have something important, right?" Liu Zhengsheng stopped smiling and asked.
"Yes," Liu Yan glanced at Chu Shenxia and continued, "I'm here to discuss with you about Uncle Qinwang. ”
Liu Zhengsheng's face changed suddenly, and he looked around cautiously, and then stretched out his hand and signaled, "Your Highness, talk here." ”
After entering the room, Liu Zhengsheng glanced at Chu Shenxia nervously, but asked Liu Yan, "Has Your Highness discovered any new clues?" ”
"No......" Liu Yan shook his head, seeing that he was so nervous, he couldn't help but smile dumbly, "You don't have to be so nervous, I didn't find anything, I just wanted to ask you if there was any progress." ”
"Xiaguan...... Xiaguan ......" Liu Zhengsheng said, and couldn't help but look at Chu Shenxia, and was about to say no, Liu Yan suddenly said coldly, "Do you two have something to hide from me?" If Uncle Qin's case has not progressed, then why are you uncharacteristically nervous now? Isn't it a thief's heart? ”
Chu Shenxia let out an "oh", and hurriedly relieved Liu Zhengsheng: "There is indeed a new discovery, but the matter has not been confirmed yet, so I dare not tell His Highness." ”
"Even if you say it's true, isn't it all five or five? Naturally, I don't take it seriously. Liu Yan couldn't help but look at him with disgust.
"King Qin may have a daughter who lives among the people."
Liu Yan, who was still holding a package ticket just now, was so shocked that he couldn't close his jaw at the moment, and almost wanted to swallow the words he had just blurted out back into his stomach. ”
"I went through King Qin's letter again, and I still found nothing, is there any progress on Lord Liu's side?"
Liu Yan followed Chu Shenxia's words and cast an expectant glance at Liu Zhengsheng, who shook his head in the face of his burning gaze.
Liu Yan was really disappointed, pacing back and forth in front of the two of them, and sometimes looked up and said happily: "This is great, Uncle Qin Wang also has a daughter, and he can be regarded as having eyes in the sky." ”
From time to time, he lowered his eyes and said anxiously: "Uncle Qinwang is orphaned and lives in the people, but I don't know it, I am really ashamed, this matter must be stepped up." ”
"Your Highness, don't be impatient, why don't you sit down and have a cup of tea?" Chu Shenxia proposed, but seeing that he ignored it, he added another sentence, "Then it's time for the thieves in Qixia Mountain to discuss with Lord Liu." ”
Liu Yan finally came back to his senses, and after sitting down with them, he always remembered King Qin's missing daughter in his mind, so he didn't hear a word of what they said.
"Your Highness? Your Highness! His Royal Highness ......" Chu Shenxia didn't even call three times to attract the attention of the person who was in deep thought, so he had to give up and turned to Liu Zhengdao, "In your opinion, is Chen Zhiming Liu Yu's person?" ”
"It's not good to say this, Chen Que was killed by Liu Yu, there is no doubt about it, but will Chen Zhiming believe our words? Although he has been smart since he was a child, he also has two big shortcomings, one is a small belly, anyone who offends him will keep it in mind, and the other is suspicious, and he doesn't know where he will think of simple things. Liu Zhengsheng's eyes narrowed, nodded slightly and shook his head, "So I really can't see what he thinks." ”
"I'm as you think, I'm still a little unsure about his strange behavior at the moment." Chu Shenxia remembered that Wei Shuming suddenly visited yesterday, so he mentioned the matter.
After listening to this, Liu Zhengsheng couldn't be deeper in the doubts on his face, and sighed, and said strangely: "What do these people want to do, I have been getting more and more incomprehensible recently, and the Liu family, a few days ago, also instigated King Qing to solicit the world's treasures and give them to the emperor, in order to win the dragon's heart, so as to return to Jiankang as soon as possible." ”
Facing Shang Chu Shenxia's puzzled gaze, Liu Zhengsheng mysteriously lowered his voice and said, "However, recently I found out that the Liu family was looking for various medicines to cure diseases on the rivers and lakes, and I heard that King Qing was seriously ill. ”
"Could it be that they want to arouse the emperor's love for his son by pretending to be sick in King Qing?" Chu Shenxia was a little amused.
Liu Zhengsheng shook his head, very incomprehensible: "It's really sick, and the illness is not light, after many famous doctors have been diagnosed and treated, they all shook their heads and left." In fact, something like King Qing's illness, the Liu family should have suppressed it first, knowing that it was not good for them to spread it at this time, but in the end, they spread it, so they almost beat gongs and drums to publicize it. ”
"It's weird."
The two glanced at each other, but they didn't know what to say for a while, Liu Zhengsheng suddenly felt thirsty, so he went to serve tea, and Chu Shenxia also turned his face sideways to ponder.
For a while, the room was so quiet that you could almost hear the "grunt" sound of Liu Zhengsheng drinking water, Liu Yan suddenly woke up, slammed the table, and said excitedly: "I may have seen Uncle Qinwang's daughter!" ”
Liu Zhengsheng was frightened by him, so he choked on the tea, coughed uncontrollably, coughed straight and his face was red, and he even choked out tears, but he didn't forget to ask intermittently: "Your ...... Your Highness...... cough cough cough ...... What does it mean......"
"I remember seven years ago, before I left Jincheng, I said goodbye to my mother in the small pavilion outside the city, which was a must when leaving Jincheng. I saw with my own eyes a little girl of five or six years old who got out of Uncle Qinwang's carriage, and there was a beautiful woman beside the girl, but she didn't look very well. ”
Liu Yan paused, tried to think about it for a long time, and said, "I wanted to run down the pavilion to greet Uncle Qinwang, but I was reprimanded by my mother, I felt wronged at that time, and now that I think about it, maybe my mother also knows!" ”
