Chapter 47: True and False

When Qian Hongzuo arrived at the Zhen Mansion, there were already guards of the forbidden army there to protect the Zhen Mansion. Mrs. Zhen and Zhen Jinshu were already waiting outside the gate of the mansion, Qian Hongzuo's royal car stopped at the gate, he got out of the car first, and then turned around to drive with the help of Xie Xiangcun, who was still pretending to be a hoopoe man. At this time, Xie Xiangcun had already put on the white robe that Qian Hongzuo was wearing when he came, his face was also covered with a layer of light veil, and the fancy hair on his head was covered with gold-winged walking and other jewelry.

Mrs. Zhen and Zhen Jinshu stepped forward to meet Qian Hongzuo.

Qian Hongzuo said to Xie Xiangcun: "Shengnan, help Mrs. Zhen up for me." Miss Zhen, please get up. This voice is very affectionate, like a couple in love.

Xie Xiangcun, who pretended to be a hoopoe man, immediately stepped forward and helped Mrs. Zhen up.

Everyone gathered around Qian Hongzuo to enter the mourning hall, Qian Hongzuo lit three incense sticks, respectfully bowed to Zhen Fu's spiritual position, and then inserted the incense into the incense burner. Then it was Xie Xiangcun's turn to pretend to be a hoopoe man to incense, very humble, kneeling three times to kowtow, and then incense. Wen Minghui and others paid homage one after another.

After everyone worshipped, Qian Hongzuo said to Mrs. Zhen and Zhen Jinshu: "Mrs. Zhen, Miss Zhen, Lord Zhen was martyred for the country, and the lonely king was very sad. In order to commend the loyalty of Lord Zhen, Zhen Fu was posthumously named the loyal prince of Wu Yueguo, and his portrait was offered into the palace Huguo Temple, and he was forever honored by the royal family's incense. Mrs. Zhen was crowned as the Duchess of Zhongguo, and Miss Zhen was crowned as a princess under the name of the Queen Mother of Xu's Renhui of Wu Yueguo. Please also ask the Duchess of Zhongguo and Princess Ruyi to take care of their condolences on Day. ”

Qian Hongzuo has never personally come to the door to mourn the death of a minister; has never given the minister's wife and daughter such a high title. In the first two years of Wu Yueguo, two slaughterers were killed one after another, but their pursuit was far less than that of Zhen Fu. Zhen Fu's official position was lower than that of the two prime ministers during his lifetime, but his integrity, loyalty and fearlessness made Qian Hongzuo and Empress Dowager Xu even more grateful.

Mrs. Zhen and Zhen Jinshu kowtowed to thank her.

Qian Hongzuo said: "On the way to mourn, the lonely king was ambushed by the murderers, and I am really worried that you will have another accident, so I specially invite the Duchess of Zhongguo and Princess Ruyi to temporarily live in the palace of meritorious heroes." After the Yaksha Gate is completely destroyed, he will return to live in his house. During this period, the Lone King will order the Ministry of Industry to rebuild the Zhen Mansion into the Princess's Mansion, and all the costs will be borne by the royal family. ”

Mrs. Zhen kowtowed and said: "Thank you, Sheng, it's just that my lord is originally from Xiuzhou, and Jinshu and I were originally going to help the soul go back to the ancestral grave of our hometown and bury the lord." ”

Qian Hongzuo said: "You orphan daughters, helpless, and have many difficulties. The lonely king will send the right-hand man of the forbidden army, as a nephew in the next life, to send Lord Zhen back to the ancestral tomb of Xiuzhou for burial. You don't need to worry, tomorrow when the coffin departs, the two of you will follow the guards of the forbidden army who came to pick you up and enter the palace to stay temporarily. ”

Mrs. Zhen and Zhen Jinshu kowtowed and said yes.

Qian Hongzuo said: "The lonely king said goodbye first. ”

Zhen Jinshu said suddenly: "I have heard for a long time that Marshal Dai's daughter - Miss Shengnan, she is peerless, I wonder if the little woman is lucky enough to be able to see the style?" ”

Mrs. Zhen and Zhen Jinshu had both seen the hoopoe man at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, and suddenly made this request, Qian Hongzuo and Xie Xiangcun immediately understood: Although Xie Xiangcun was veiled, Zhen Jinshu still saw through it, and the hoopoe man in front of him was fake.

Qian Hongzuo was stunned for a moment and did not respond.

Unexpectedly, Xie Xiangcun's pretended hoopoe man said in a very soft female voice: "If the princess has won the award, the princess is only eight years old, and the lecture and reading paper copied for Lord Zhen is regarded as a treasure by the little woman, and it should be that I admire the princess." ”

Qian Hongzuo didn't know what Xie Xiangcun was saying, but he was amazed by the beautiful female voice that came out of his mouth.

Since the "hoopoe man" got out of the carriage, Zhen Jinshu has faintly recognized him as Xie Xiangcun, and now it has been confirmed, Shi Li said: "Jinshu is not talented, and the holy grace will never be forgotten." Sheng'en refers to Qian Hongzuo, and "Junde" Others also thought it referred to Qian Hongzuo, only Zhen Jinshu and Xie Xiangcun knew the meaning of the words.

After leaving the Zhen Mansion and returning to the royal car, Qian Hongzuo held Xie Xiangcun's hand again and asked, "Xie Aiqing, you are truthfully recruited, are you a man or a woman?" ”

Xie Xiangcun said in a low voice: "Of course it's a man." ”

Qian Hongzuo said: "But what you said just now is obviously a woman." ”

Xie Xiangcun said: "The villain was born in a pear orchard and learned to play a woman, but he was just imitating a female voice just now. ”

Qian Hongzuo sighed: "The hoopoe man pretends to be a winning man, but Aiqing, you make the pink and the color pale." The voice just now is as beautiful as the yellow oriole out of the valley, and today the lonely king knows what it means to be coquettish. ”

Xie Xiangcun smiled secretly.

Qian Hongzuo said: "Princess Ruyi seems to recognize you, not a hoopoe man." ”

Xie Xiangcun briefly told him about his acquaintance with Zhen Jinshu.

Qian Hongzuo said: "There are such twists and turns, Lord Zhen values you so much, and you admire him so much, it should not be because of similar knowledge, but because you are like-minded!" ”

Getting closer and closer to the gate of Luocheng, Qian Hongzuo held Xie Xiangcun's hand, and became more and more reluctant to let go, he and Xie Xiangcun were able to sit side by side, close to each other, and there were few opportunities.

The gate of Luocheng was full of the corpses of the assassins who had just arrived, which had been planned for a long time. These dead corpses will be displayed in the public at the gate of Luo City for three days, and if their accomplices dare to come and snatch the corpses, they will be turned into a new corpse by the forbidden army in ambush. Three days later, the bodies will be buried in mass graves outside the city.

Dai Yun stood by the gate of Luocheng, waiting for Qian Hongzuo to return. Looking at the corpses in his eyes, Dai Yun's heart sank to the bottom, as painful as a knife. He didn't feel sorry for the lives of these dead soldiers, but he felt sorry for this evil force that had spent a lot of effort and financial resources to cultivate, it was a major capital for the Dai family to deter the entire Wuyue court, but now it has disappeared.

Although it was painful, Dai Yun still insisted on waiting for Qian Hongzuo to return, because he wanted to pick up his daughter Hoopoe Man back home. These dead soldiers have been eliminated, and now Dai Yun's only hope is that his daughter can no longer be missed.

Due to Dai Yun's identity, Qian Hongzuo's royal car stopped at the gate of Luocheng. Dai Yun was led by Wen Minghui to Qian Hongzuo's royal car, facing Dai Hao, who was respectfully saluting, Qian Hongzuo sat condescendingly in the imperial car, not even opening the window, but through the window screen, and asked coldly: "Marshal Dai is waiting here, is there something wrong?" ”

Dai Yun said: "Ben Shuai heard that the saint was assassinated, and he was very worried, so he came here early to wait and prayed for your safe return." I heard that the little girl Katsuo was injured, and I was very worried and wanted to take her home to recuperate. ”

Qian Hongzuo said: "Marshal Dai, Miss Shengnan was slightly injured, but King Gu decided to take care of her personally to repay her for saving her life. It was she who told me that the Assassins were preparing to assassinate me, and where they were going to do it. When she was assassinated just now, in order to protect the Lone King, she fought hard and killed many assassins. If it weren't for the precautions, the lone king would definitely die today. How can I, Qian Hongzuo, meet such an infatuated woman as Katsunan?! ”

Dai Yun's face was full of astonishment. He remembered the many dissatisfied words of the hoopoe man when he heard that he was going to assassinate Qian Hongzuo, and thought to himself: Could it be that it was his daughter's betrayal that led to the fiasco of this assassination? Turning his head to look at the bloody corpses of the assassins, even though Dai Yun was used to seeing blood, he suddenly looked stunned. He hated himself for not believing in the saying 'girls are outgoing', between father and brother and future husband, the daughter chose the latter and betrayed the former. And he actually thinks that his flesh and blood will always be towards him. He never thought that more than ten years of nurturing grace could not be worth just a few months of getting along in the palace.

Dai Yun looked into the royal car again, and the woman in the red robe was faintly visible through the curtain, and she couldn't see her face clearly, only to see her looking indifferently in the other direction, as if she didn't want to see his father at all.

Qian Hongzuo continued: "Shengnan told King Gu that she never wanted to go back to Dai's Mansion again, I think she was used to living in the palace." Please don't be surprised by Marshal Dai, you know, Katsuo has this child's temper. I'm getting married to her. In a few days, presumably the queen mother will send someone to take Mrs. Dai into the palace to discuss the marriage. When we get married, Marshal Dai must come to the ceremony. Otherwise, it will not be good for people with good deeds to guess that your father and daughter are not compatible. ”

After saying that, without waiting for Dai Yun to answer, he had already ordered to drive back to the palace.
