Chapter 47: Good and Evil
A severed hand fell in a pool of blood, and the blood on the wrist of the big man in the black clothes that fell to the ground flowed straight down, splashed on the black clothes and disappeared, and the floor was stained with shocking blood. Her face-paper white quickly fainted to the ground, but at this time, the others didn't dare to help, only the young man in the white dress and short skirt passed, and the white-white dress was also stained with blood.
Xue Chongxun hurriedly ordered: "Hurry up and stop the bleeding for her, call Lang Zhong!" ”
The surrounding staff and guards are all men, only Sanniang is a NV person, and everyone was shocked by Zhang Jiancheng's cruelty: wasn't it just that he was touched by his entourage, and he was about to cut it off! If you touch your head, do you want to cut off your head on the spot, and this guy will become a corpse if he sends two young nv?
Sanniang stood silently next to Xue Chongxun and said coldly: "You go and see the injured little lady and watch the messenger confiscate his weapon." ”
At this time, two house slaves ran down to stop the bleeding for Daman, and the guards who had just poured in from His Highness had already surrounded Zhang Jiancheng, and he did not resist when he went up to hand in the knife.
Wang Changling stood up and asked, "Why did you let the envoy come in with weapons?" ”
A petty official said with fear on his face: "I heard that Envoy Zhang was a distinguished guest personally received by the prince, so he did not order a body search, let alone expect that there would be a bloody disaster in the main hall......"
"You're derelict in your duties! Later, I will ask for the guilt, and go down to listen to the prince's fate! Wang Changling shouted angrily.
"The crime of despicability deserves death, please punish the prince." The petty officer hurriedly knelt on the ground.
Zhang Jiancheng said: "We Nanzhao people are usually used to carrying scimitars, and we have no bad intentions, and we dare not offend the prince...... It's just that you can't defile the prince's gift. ”
Wang Changling said angrily: "Envoy Zhang doesn't know that weapons and blood light are ominous things? We treat each other with courtesy, and that's how you return the favor? ”
Zhang Jiancheng did not change his face and hugged his fist to Xue Chongxun and said: "Your Majesty has never felt the demeanor of Chang'an before he came out of his side, and he was reckless for a while, so please bear with me." ”
Xue Chongxun was silent for a while with a straight face, and it was not easy to do anything with this guy, after all, Nanzhao was currently a tribe standing in the Tang Dynasty camp. Zhang Jiancheng is a person sent by the leader of Nanzhao, although he does not dare to be complimentary, but he is also a gift twice, and the injured person is his person, what can he do?
Zhang Jiancheng pointed to the two bloodstained young nv and said, "I have a mutilated hand, but fortunately it is clean." The local product is not a respect, please accept it with a smile. ”
Xue Chongxun still didn't speak, but Sanniang opened his mouth and asked, "If Xue Lang doesn't accept it, what will you do with them?" ”
Zhang Jiancheng said indifferently: "It should only be buried alive, since it is for the little lady of the prince, you can't move it to others, otherwise it will be a big disrespect." ”
Xue Chongxun finally spoke: "I will stay, and I will stop here today, send off guests." ”
After hearing this, Zhang Jiancheng bowed and retired, and the officials of the pro-kingdom sent them out according to their words.
Xue Chongxun looked at the box in the hall, the little lady in black clothes was still unconscious, and Lang Zhong was using it to rescue. Xue Chongxun saw that she was bleeding so much and asked, "Is it life-threatening?" ”
Lang Zhong replied: "Fortunately, there is no worry about life when the bleeding is stopped, and the blood and qi can be recovered after some time, but the right hand will definitely be abolished, and there is no way to do it." "At this time, the medical skills obviously can't connect the severed hand, if this kind of wound in modern times should be able to connect the severed hand through guò surgery, then Wuyi Shao NV will not need to be crippled.
The white-clothed young man suddenly knelt on the ground and bowed a few times, and said in a jerky accent: "Slave thanks." ”
Xue Chongxun ignored her, stood up and left the throne, and ordered: "Carry her into the mansion to recuperate, and let Doctor Yuwen take a look." ”
The people below responded with a salute, and Xue Chongxun left Fengmanlou.
……
There is no doubt that the Nanzhao people sent the United States NV for a purpose, Xue Chongxun believes that most of them want to use the NV people to influence politics, and this kind of thing is not only done by the Nanzhao people, but also often considered by the Tang Dynasty. In any case, it is more enjoyable to receive NV people than to send out NV people, so Xue Chongxun does not have much prejudice against Zhang Jiancheng personally.
After a few days, he went to visit the two young NVs, and had already learned their names Da Man and Xiao Man, the one in black clothes was Da Man, and the one in white was Xiao Man. They are indeed twins, and they belong to the Heman tribe, and they were plundered to Nanzhao in the tribal war. The two little ladies wore one in the clothes of the black barbarians and the other in the clothes of the white barbarians, probably to show the two costumes of the main tribes of Nanzhao. This makes it easy to distinguish the two at a glance, because they look exactly the same in Xue Chongxun's opinion, and they can't tell the difference from their faces alone...... Now there is a difference in addition to clothes, and it is Da Man who has broken his right hand.
They were settled in Xue Chongxun's inner house, in a small courtyard south of Tingyu Lake, at the north end of the corridor in the inner house. When Xue Chongxun passed, he didn't see anyone in the courtyard, so he walked straight in, looked in next to a window, and saw two young people sitting at the table together. The white-clothed Xiaoman took a spoon to feed Da Man to drink, what the two said Xue Chongxun didn't understand, and then saw Da Man crying, Xiao Man wiped her tears and comforted her.
At this moment, Xiao Man found Xue Chongxun standing outside the window, and hurriedly stood up and walked to the mouth. Xue Chongxun also left the eaves and walked to the entrance, only to see Xiaoman helping his sister to salute.
Xue Chongxun glanced at the white cloth bandaged on Daman's right wrist and asked, "Is it better?" ”
Da Man hurriedly replied: "The NV Divine Doctor comes twice a day, which is much better than the previous two days. ”
They invited Xue Chongxun to go in and sit on a cork chair on the top, and Xiao Man was busy pouring tea. Xue Chongxun didn't know them, and she was a little lady who had just come to Chang'an, so naturally she didn't know what to say except to ask for warmth...... They are beautiful and young, Xiaoman is not injured, but she can let her sleep first, and then spoil her sister together.
Xue Chongxun thought so in his heart, but seeing that there were tears on their faces, it was obvious that the situation was miserable and pitiful, so he dispelled the idea just now.
Xiao Man saw that Xue Chongxun looked at his exposed legs several times, so he took the initiative to say: "Xiao Man came to serve the prince, let my sister heal her injured ......"
Xue Chongxun was stunned, but seeing that this little lady was born with big eyes, a small nose and a small mouth, she was very immature, and she was really very cute. The facial features of the barbarian NV are similar to those of the Han NV, but the overall face is very different, which can be seen at a glance, which is probably the reason for the proportional matching of the facial features. And Xiaoman's short skirt is also very beautiful, but what is even better is the legs that the short skirt does not cover, they are not particularly slender, but the legs of teenage NV children are beautiful and natural, and the skin is delicate, which is reminiscent of the feeling of green mountains and green waters.
If it was a time when he had not been accompanied by an NV person for a long time, Xue Chongxun admitted that he should not be able to sympathize with them, and he would definitely have to vent his heart for the goods delivered. But now he didn't think it was necessary, so he said kindly: "Don't, you take care of Daman first, Chang'an is a strange place far away from your hometown, and you can only adapt to it after a few days of rest." ”
Xiao Man's gaze was a little strange: "Lord Wang...... It's so nice to us, we were just a gift from someone else. ”
Xue Chongxun smiled, feeling that he had nothing to say to the two little girls, so he got up from the chair and said, "I'm just stopping by to have a look, and it's a little reassuring that Daman has no worries about his life." When you recover from your injury, you can play with Pei Niang and them, they are about the same age, and they can probably play together. ”
"Lord Wang, please stay!" Xiao Man shouted timidly, "Will you let the Zhang family complete its mission?" ”
Xue Chongxun's sympathetic mood suddenly flashed with a trace of unhappiness, and he turned around and said: "The ruler of Nanzhao treats you as a cat and a dog, and he cripples Daman, what do you care about him?" Peace of mind in my house, no one will dare to touch you. ”
Xiaoman said sadly: "We are not from Nanzhao, and we have no kindness to the Zhang family, so we naturally don't want to help him...... However, our parents, brothers and sisters, and dozens of members of the family were all his slaves, and he said that if he couldn't do what the head of the family would do, he would bury all of us alive. That person is as ruthless as a tiger beast, and he will definitely do what he says......"
"I see." Xue Chongxun nodded, "I now know why he tried every means to ask me to accept this gift from you. ”
Xiaoman cried: "What exactly does he want to do, can the prince help us?" The parents in my hometown made cattle and horses, cried all their lives, and when their hair turned gray, they had to be buried alive in the loess, we ...... The Zhang family's words are a word from the prince, I implore you to save our parents and brothers, we are willing to do anything for the prince. ”
She said that she and Da Man fell to their knees together, and they couldn't cry anymore.
Xue Chongxun looked at them in a daze, kowtowed, and even though he was injured, he also supported it with one arm and knocked it with a clanging sound. Apparently they didn't look like they were lying.
In fact, it is difficult to sit back and watch the expansion of Nanzhao become a problem for the henchmen of the Tang Dynasty, which is not a fundamental matter, but it is contrary to Xue Chongxun's policy principles...... Do you want to shake the national policy for these two NV children who never knew each other? He was thinking: If there were not two poor beautiful young people in front of him, but two dinosaurs, would he be so compassionate? Xue Chongxun, the purest benevolence of human motives, himself can't feel it, is it that he is born evil......
His gaze gradually turned cold, but the tone in his mouth was still gentle: "You want to know what Zhang Jiancheng is going to do?" He wrote to the Son of Heaven and the Barbarians to collude with the Tubo people, and it was the enemy of the Tang Dynasty who raised troops to crusade. Nanzhao sent envoys to legitimize the invasion...... If you agree to them, then all the land and property of the Heman tribes will be taken away, and all your people will become slaves of Nanzhao, and everyone will face the situation of being a mermaid. Do you understand? ”
Xiaoman said sadly: "But if you don't agree to them, your parents will be buried alive." ”
Xue Chongxun looked at her with interest and said, "If you had to choose, what kind of situation would you like to see?" ”
Xiao Manm- knelt there blankly with tears on his face, and couldn't answer for a while.
At this time, Xue Chongxun said lightly: "What's more, what Zhang Jiancheng said is not the truth, there are so many people in the Tang Dynasty, and there are six or seven prime ministers alone, is it a matter of one person and one word when it comes to national politics?" In front of the national society, the Son of Heaven does not dare to say anything that is his words, you think for yourself whether this is the truth. ”A
