Chapter 186: Listening

Cai Wang interrupted him and said, "Brother Xiao, you don't want to be a concubine, this has already offended the princess, if you don't agree, I'm afraid that the princess will be angry, and your head will be difficult to protect!" It can even affect your family! Let's say yes! When you become the princess's concubine, it is a step to the sky, glory and wealth, and you can't enjoy it endlessly! ”

Xiao Jiading saw that he couldn't solve this matter in words, so he had to agree first, and then find an opportunity to sneak away.

Seeing Xiao Jiading nodding, Cai Wang breathed a sigh of relief.

Those maids and old mothers had already begun to change their clothes, and Xiao Jiading had to put the wild boar aside and let these women help dress up. The maid said a word to Xiao Jiading. Caiwang hurriedly translated to Xiao Jiading: "She said that your wild boar can't be put here, since it was given to the Jiangcun guard, she will ask someone to send it for you, and said that it was you who sent it, and she wouldn't be greedy for your wild boar." ”

Anyway, the dagger inside had already been taken out, and the wild boar didn't matter, so Xiao Jiading nodded and agreed. So some servants came in and carried the boar away.

After tidying up and dressing up, these five people were already in high spirits, and after this dress, they were even more magnificent, and they saw that the little maids' eyes lit up, eating, laughing, and talking.

Next, they were sent to a courtyard, which was slowly full of people, all gorgeously dressed, but they were all characters of the Tuobian tribe.

On the platform in front of the main house in the courtyard, there was a table of banquets, and some people were already seated, including the super fat princess Wangmu, who alone occupied three positions! There was also this thin old man and a rich old woman next to him.

The five of them were sent to the table and sat down separately, Xiao Jiading deliberately rubbed to the back, unlike a few scrambling to grab the front and sit next to the princess. So Xiao Jiading sat in the last one.

The master of ceremonies began to rap, and everyone laughed from time to time. Then, the master of ceremonies asked them to get up again, and followed the fat princess who was on top of the three of them to perform all kinds of strange rituals. After the most rear, I returned to my seat.

Caiwang's face was excited. said to Xiao Jiading: "Okay! We're already the husband of Princess Wangmu! In order of age, you are the youngest, and you are the fifth horse master. ”

Xiao Jiading also pretended to be excited. Then Caiwang told him that he was going to toast the chief and his wife.

Xiao Jiading realized that the thin old man sitting next to Princess Wangmu was the famous chief of Tuobian! The noble lady next to her is the chief's wife. They are also the parents of Princess Wangmu.

During the toast, Chief Takuban didn't seem to care about their five sons-in-law. Just took a faint sip.

Next, he toasted Princess Wangmu, who was heroic and drank until the glass was dry. I drank a glass of wine with each of them. When it was Xiao Jiading's turn, Princess Wangmu squinted her eyes, Xiao Jiading actually felt that there was a murderous aura in it, and she couldn't help but be vigilant in her heart, this fat pig wouldn't be like doing any tricks, right?

Then the guests were toasted one by one. There were a lot of guests, and after this salute, two of the horses were already a little unstable on their feet, and one of them was already brilliant on the spot.

Xiao Jiading's amount of alcohol was naturally fine, and his eyes looked around uncertainly. Look for an escape. But now the courtyard was full of people, and they were the object of everyone's attention, although he went to the hut twice, but there were people who followed. Where is the opportunity to escape.

was toasting one by one, Xiao Jiading's shoulder was patted, and when he looked back, he was a big man. The tiger's back is very powerful, and he said to Xiao Jiading in fluent Chinese: "Five horses!" I'm Gangcun. Thank you for giving me the wild boar! ”

This is the person I'm looking for on this trip? Xiao Jiading was secretly happy in his heart, if he could find out the true situation of that matter, his toss would not be in vain. At that moment, he hugged his fists and said: "It turned out to be the head of the Jiangcun guard, disrespectful and disrespectful, that is nothing." It's just a small thing, don't worry about it. ”

Jiang Cun smiled and said: "In the future, we will be a family, and we will rely on the five horses to take care of us." ”

"Where, where."

It seems that this Jiangcun deliberately befriended Xiao Jiading, the fifth horse, so he drank three cups with him in a row. And he went and toasted the four colts. Xiao Jiading originally had the intention to ask about that matter, but now in this meeting, there is no way to talk about things at all, so he can only wait and talk about it, anyway, it seems that this Jiangcun intends to talk to himself, and he may tell himself about it. I don't hit it at this time.

The banquet lasted until it was dark, when the guests gradually dispersed. Except for Xiao Jiading, the five of them were almost drunk, and two of them couldn't hold on and vomited, and they had been helped back to the cave room.

The five of them have their own yards, but all the yards are next to each other, Xiao Jiading is in the last room, and there are a few maids waiting.

Among them, there is a maid named Qu Zhen, who understands Chinese, has a petite figure, and her appearance is also very delicate, Xiao Jiading talked to her, she was very excited, and secretly looked at Xiao Jiading with admiration from time to time. Through talking, Xiao Jiading learned from Qu Zhen that Wang Mu was going to be lucky to be five horses one by one, and he was the fifth, so it would be his turn to wait four days later. These are the days when you can rest and recharge.

Xiao Jiading fell asleep, since he had already met that Jiangcun, he had suffered the hardships he should have suffered, and if he didn't understand this matter, he fled like this, it would be too much of a loss, anyway, there are still five days to meet with the super fat princess Wangmu, and strive to figure things out in these five days, and then slip away. So, for the time being, I also put away the idea of escaping and slept peacefully.

The next morning, Qu Zhen told him that he could go to breakfast, and only after asking did he find out that the five of them had to accompany the princess to eat every day.

After going, the princess has not yet come, and several others have already arrived.

Xiao Jiading and the four of them saw the big horse master who was fortunate by the fat princess Wangmu last night, and they were immediately startled, only to see that his eye sockets were deep, his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and one arm couldn't be lifted, it was already swollen, and they were busy asking what was going on. The big horse master was about to cry, but he just shook his head and refused to speak. The more this happened, the more frightened the others became. I had to cross-examine again, and Princess Wangmu had arrived, sitting in the middle, and concentrating on eating without evil eyes. doesn't speak, she still does a good job of "eating without speaking", but this "sleeping silent" is difficult to say.

After eating, the princess chattered. Caiwang on the side whispered to Xiao Jiading as a translator. He learned that Duke Lu Dao was going to go to the temple to offer incense and let the five of them accompany him.

Next, the five men rode on horseback, and the princess rode out of the inner city in a chariot drawn by four horses on an iron frame, escorted by her own soldiers. Go to one of the temples in the city to offer incense.

Along the way, Xiao Jiading knew what Lu Dao was doing to be prosperous, and the four of them were all elated when they heard that they were going to be horses. And it's also very windy, this time I went out, hugging back and forth, and the people on both sides were kneeling on the ground and prostrate, not even daring to raise their heads.

After the incense was poured in the temple, the princess had to play on the grass dam again, drinking and talking. A few of them said with flying eyebrows, Xiao Jiading couldn't understand a word, so he could only sit and drink. The princess didn't talk to him either. just glanced at him coldly from time to time, which made Xiao Jiading feel a chill every time.

It was not until the evening that they returned to the castle and ate with the princess, who had become a serious person. Then they went back to their rooms.

I didn't see Najiangcun that day, he was the captain of the chief's guard, so he didn't follow the princess out.

That night, Princess Wangmu was fortunate to be the second concubine.

After dark. Xiao Jiading heard the man's screams in the distance, as well as the sound of pleading, and the sound seemed to be the second horse master. I couldn't help but be surprised. Hurriedly called Qu Zhen to ask, Qu Zhen ate and laughed, saying that there was nothing wrong with him, so that he could rest assured.

Xiao Jiading was even more frightened when he saw their strange appearance, could it be that this fat princess was torturing the second horse master?

The next morning, when he was having breakfast, Xiao Jiading was startled again when he saw the second horse master, only to see that he also had a blue nose and swollen face, and a purple patch of bruises on his hands and legs, and asked him what was going on, but he also refused to say. And the big horse master looked like he was in sympathy.

On this day, the prince of Wangmu accompanied his mother to a relative's house, and they were accompanied by five horses. It took another whole day, and it was already evening when I got back to the castle. Still haven't seen Gangchon.

This night, it was replaced by the howling of the three horses, because his house was closer to Xiao Jiading's, so he heard it more vividly, and the miserable sound made people a little creepy.

The next day, the third horse master also had a blue nose and swollen face, and his body was full of bruises, and he didn't dare to say what was going on.

On this day, the princess Wangmu did not go out, but set up wine in the garden of the castle to entertain a group of noble men and women, eating, drinking, laughing and playing. The five of them naturally wanted to accompany them, so it took another day, and they still didn't see Jiang Cun.

And this night, it was Caiwang, the fourth horse master, who was fortunate to be visited by Princess Wangmu, and as a result, he was worse than the others, perhaps because his house was next door to Xiao Jiading.

Hearing his screams, Xiao Jiading couldn't sleep, thinking that if he couldn't see Jiangcun during the day tomorrow, he would slip away. No matter what he rehabilitates prisoners, his own life matters, but he doesn't want to scream and scare people to death like them.

It seemed that his decision had influenced God's decision, and the next morning, when they had finished their meal, Princess Wangmu told them that they were going with her to meet some of the distinguished guests with the chief to-morday.

When Xiao Jiading heard this, he suddenly came to his senses, since he wanted to see the chief, he would definitely be able to meet the Jiangcun guard! If you can't hear the news today, then you can only find a way to escape immediately, otherwise the night will be miserable.

Follow the princess to the prince's courtyard, sit cross-legged on a hidden couch in a hall, and wait quietly. After a while the chief came with his wife, and they quickly got up to salute, and then sat down again. After waiting for a while, he said that the guests of the Yagu tribe entered the outer castle. Then the chief took the people and waited at the gate of the inner city.

After waiting for a while, a group of people finally came, all dressed in military uniforms, led by a burly general, and rode to the gate of the city, only then did they turn over and dismount, and the chief saluted with a smile.

After asking Caiwang, he learned that the armor-clad general led by him was the commander of the Tubo army stationed in Yagu, named Thorn Song.

What did the commander of the Yaya army do when he came to the Takuban tribe? It's not a tourist, is it?

Xiao Jiading muttered in his heart.

The chief introduced Xiao Jiading to the door, this person was very arrogant, he ignored him, he just arched his hand, and did not say anything else, and he didn't even bother to say a word to them. But after seeing the fat princess Wangmu, she was very attentive.

Xiao Jiading didn't care about him, he had been paying attention to Jiangcun's movements. Jiang Cun followed the chief, and of course there was no chance to talk to him at this time.

However, the opportunity soon came, and at noon the chief hosted a banquet for General Thornsong. Xiao Jiading, as the chief's son-in-law, accompanied the last seat. And Jiangcun is the guard, a table outside.

During the banquet, Xiao Jiading took the opportunity to toast and came to Jiangcun's table, and after the toast, he said to Jiangcun: "Captain of the guard, I have a little matter to ask you, okay?" ”

Jiang Cun enthusiastically followed him out to a place where no one was outside. Xiao Jiading looked very embarrassed, and said: "That's the case, I have a cousin who was a small guy in the military town of Tuobian in the Tang Dynasty, and last time he followed Captain Han on patrol and strayed into the territory of Tubo, but he was surrounded by our army, disarmed and surrendered, and later after he went back, he was not only removed from his post, but also sentenced to imprisonment. He has always felt very aggrieved. ”

As soon as he heard that it was this matter, the smile on Jiang Cun's face slowly faded, and he glanced at Xiao Jiading and did not speak.

Xiao Jiading knew that he was a little alert, but he had to go on and said, "He thinks there is some conspiracy here, because he thinks that Captain Han is not that kind of person. I must have been framed, so I want to overturn the case. Originally, I didn't want to ask about this kind of messy thing, but when I drank today, I remembered the way his wife and children were crying, and it happened that you were there again, and my cousin said that you were involved in the negotiation at that time, so I will ask you casually, what was going on at that time? - Of course, if it is inconvenient to say military secrets, forget it, it doesn't matter. Anyway, it was useless for him to know the real situation, and no one could help him turn over the case, but he had an extra heart problem. ”

Jiang Cun lowered his head and thought about it, and said: "I'm sorry, Wubuma, I really can't say anything about this matter, not only because it involves military secrets, but also, you can't help him, because the people involved in this matter are not something that he can turn over as a young man." I'm sorry. ”

Xiao Jiading hurriedly smiled and said, "It's okay, there's nothing to do, so I just remembered to ask casually." It's inconvenient to say it, forget it. ”

Jiang Cun felt that he was a little bit unkind of not giving face to this concubine, so he whispered again: "I can reveal a little bit to you, so that he can die ,—— this matter, even the captain Han died in vain, he was just sentenced to prison, saved his life, should be content!"
