Chapter 193: Pressing Forward
His euphemistic expression was already the extreme, Ruoyun trembled, surprised that he would reveal his feelings to her, and before he could react, he was embraced into his arms, and the faint fragrance came, like poison into her heart, making her unable to move, snuggling up to the white gauze brocade but her heart was extremely warm.
Stratus clouds cover the moon, the cool breeze is blowing, she subconsciously closed her eyes against his warm chest, and before she could say a word or a half, she felt that Cheng Qingxuan's wrist sank, and she was immediately pulled away by him.
"What's wrong?" Ruoyun felt that his steps were getting faster and faster, and she became nervous.
"Someone's targeting." Cheng Qingxuan held his breath, and jumped out of the streets and alleys with a light effort, quickly crossing the woods and mountain springs, and the entrance of Longhua Villa, which was densely packed, was hidden behind the fog.
But before they reached the land of mist, they heard the footsteps of many people, followed by the sound of swords unsheathed.
She looked around intently, and saw dozens of officers and soldiers in the originally cold and deserted suburbs, holding swords to surround the two of them, and torches illuminating the dim woods.
Almost at the same time, several figures quickly jumped out of the surroundings, and in the blink of an eye, they reached the inner circle and stopped in front of the officers and soldiers.
Ruoyun bit her lip and looked at the officers and soldiers around her, and her heart sank a little.
"Such a stirring up of the people, this king is ashamed to be ashamed." Cheng Qingxuan clenched her ten-fingered hands, and smiled lightly somewhere in the forest, although his face was like a spring breeze, his voice was cold to the bone.
"Lord Cheng forgives my sins, I am just doing what I am ordered." Suddenly, a middle-aged man walked out of the forest, well-dressed. The temples are white, and the officers and soldiers bow to them.
Ruoyun bit her lip, and when she saw his gaze turning around Cheng Qingxuan, she stopped here. The clothes he was wearing were the court clothes of the assassin history, and he immediately understood: "Is it on the order of the emperor - Lord Jiang?" ”
The elder was stunned for a moment and nodded respectfully: "It is the emperor's command, once you find the virtuous concubine, I will invite you back to Beijing." ”
"What if I don't come back?" Ruoyun subconsciously retreated, but the surrounding officers and soldiers did not retreat half a point, but fought with the dark guards.
"The edict is like this, please don't embarrass Jiang." Lord Jiang said goodbye, but this time his words were slightly threatening.
Ruoyun obviously felt Cheng Qingxuan's hand tighten again. Relying on the mist forest that was counted by the technique, Lord Jiang was bound to get no benefit from doing it here, and she looked around and was ready to go. Then he smiled faintly at Lord Jiang: "Lord Jiang has a good way of governing Jinzhou, and he is busy with official business, but he doesn't know that there is no Concubine Su Xian in the palace, so please open the net." ”
"Lord Jiang. Those who know the times are Junjie. I think you have been an official in Jinzhou for many years. I also know what kind of place you can't get into this little thorn history. Cheng Qingxuan's eyes were sharp, and he turned to threaten.
Lord Jiang's face darkened this time, and after lowering his head for a long time, he made a long gesture, and said in a loud voice: "The emperor's order is difficult to disobey, I waited for the emergency report from the city to travel all night, and waited here for many days before I was able to approach, Lord Xue of the Ministry of Rites is still waiting for Jiang Mou's news in Fengjin Erzhou, Jiang Mou is going to offend." I just don't know the mother. Ready to work with us? ”
Ruoyun leaned on Cheng Qingxuan's side nervously, only to see that Lord Jiang did not move even though he was threatened. Thinking that there was something else that had not been revealed, she groaned and said, "I don't know why the emperor wants me to return to Beijing with a people's daughter?" ”
Seeing her ask, Master Jiang was obviously relieved, and replied: "The emperor said that it happened that there was a concubine in the palace who was sick and could not be cured for a long time, and you went back to Beijing to visit. And after a few months, the emperor missed it very much, and asked the mother to be sympathetic to the ministers. ”
"There's no here!" If Yun corrected loudly, Rong Jinhuan would not tear his face with the king with a different surname, so he would come to these yin.
As if he was unhappy when he heard the emperor's thoughts, Cheng Qingxuan took advantage of the situation and hugged her waist and rose into the air, stepped over the treetops and easily got out of the encirclement, turned over and took a step back into the mist, and said loudly: "Then please ask the emperor to pick her up in person!" ”
When the words fell, Ruoyun suddenly came back to her senses and hurriedly said, "Who is sick?!" ”
The officers and soldiers had already fought with the secret guards, and Lord Jiang was not in a hurry to step forward, but instead avoided the sword and walked a few steps, through the fog, and stood still outside: "It is said that it is a Jieyu Niangniang." ”
"What is Hu Shu'er doing to me?!" Ruoyun subconsciously spit on it, but she stopped with Cheng Qingxuan taking two steps, the doubts in her heart increased little by little, she suddenly turned her head to look at the torches visible from the misty alien points, and said in a trembling voice, "Lin Jieyu? Is it Lin Duyan? ”
"Jiang didn't know, and asked the mother to go back to Beijing and ask herself." Master Jiang craned his neck and shouted.
"I said, there's no mother-in-law here!" Ruoyun was instantly anxious when she heard his ambiguous answer, and this retort obviously had no confidence in Fang Cai.
"You're going to go back with him?" Cheng Qingxuan stood for a long time and didn't see her leaving, and asked softly in her ear.
"Naturally not!" Ruoyun was so anxious that she stomped her feet, but she didn't know how to explain it.
"There's one more thing, please take it." Lord Jiang couldn't wait for her to come out, so he simply threw something out of his sleeve.
The thing reflected the torch and drew a bright light, and Cheng Qingxuan took it and handed it to Ruoyun.
At first, she didn't see it clearly in the fog, but when she got closer to her eyes, she took a closer look through the faint light, and was surprised to find that the shining light was a jumping chain, and this simple gold chain was very familiar to her, it was Xiaohong's one at all!
She suddenly tightened her hand and held the object into the palm of her hand, this thing was used by Rong Yixuan to coerce her to hand over the jade seal, and now Rong Jinhuan didn't know how to get it to threaten her to hand over herself, her heart suddenly burned with anger, and she almost gritted her teeth and shouted outward: "Despicable and shameless!" ”
Cheng Qingxuan's eyes moved slightly, but he didn't speak.
"Mother's words are serious." Master Jiang was not in a hurry to persecute, but replied in a loud voice without pain.
"I won't fall for you! Su Xiaohong is the wife of General Sanpin, and now she is on the border with General Zhang, how can her things be in your hands? Don't you want to cover me with this! Ruoyun shouted loudly, holding the gold chain and raising her hand, but she didn't throw it away.
"Niangniang, this thing came with the edict, Jiang Mou didn't dare to forge it, and if he didn't believe it, he could go to the border of Jin and Feng to inquire about Lord Xue in detail." Master Jiang replied respectfully.
"Xue Yuanche is just a step-by-step nerd, he can't be trusted at all!" Ruoyun retorted sharply, and pulled Cheng Qingxuan's sleeve and said to him, "Qingxuan, let's go." ”
Who knew that she slipped away when she grabbed it, and he didn't move, still in place.
Ruoyun was puzzled, and called again: "Qingxuan? ”
Cheng Qingxuan stood in the fog and had no intention of leaving, but raised his hand to touch the back of her neck, approached her and said, "Don't you go back to Beijing to have a look?" ”
"What did you say?!" Ruoyun immediately jumped away, but was detained by him again.
"If you have doubts, you can go back to Beijing to have a look." He said lightly, and at the end he chuckled, and said in her ear, "It's just that you have to promise me a few conditions." ”
"Qingxuan, I ......" Ruoyun shook her head first, but she heard him sigh before refusing.
"This is different from before, I know where your heart is, so I want to solve the confusion in your heart, I naturally will not give you away, so you have to promise me a few conditions." Cheng Qingxuan pursed her lips and smiled lightly, raised her hand to run the hair of her sideburns and waited for her to answer.
"Not good! The emperor is such a smart person, he will not let you get his wish, although there is a next time if you escape, but I ......" Ruoyun almost said "fox", but after a while, he didn't see a reaction, and finally asked carefully, "What conditions?" ”
"With Bai Ze and Qingsu, if you go to the capital as soon as you go to find Huai Xuanmo, you must not act alone." Cheng Qingxuan turned his finger and handed her the golden leaf order.
Ruoyun took it in a panic, bit her lip and said, "What else?" ”
"Bring all the first-class guards, and tell Rong Jinhuan that if you want to borrow strength, you will have to rest an inch." Cheng Qingxuan's voice suddenly became cold, and he said solemnly.
Ruoyun didn't say anything this time, looked up but never saw Longhua Villa on the other side of the fog, wandering in her heart like a butterfly in the fog wet wings, heavy and sluggish, pulling his sleeves blankly, her heart was extremely sour.
"Within three months, you can go back to Longhua Villa." Cheng Qingxuan spoke softly, loudly.
The mouth of the golden toad furnace spit out green smoke, the windows in the jade and hall were bright and silent, Rong Jinhuan sat sideways in a casual robe, a golden hairpin was inserted obliquely in the loose bun, the long fingers clamped the sunspot and hung it in front of the forehead, the phoenix eyes scanned the chessboard, and the eyes were sharp and cold.
Gu Yinzhao sat opposite him, this time he was meticulous in his court clothes, and when he saw that he had been undecided for a long time, he finally broke the silence and said: "Weichen suggests, the emperor thinks twice before acting." ”
"I haven't fallen yet, so I can't let you put your beak." Rong Jinhuan raised his eyes and glanced at him, his face unhappy.
"The emperor forgives the sin, Beihu does not dare to act rashly, all because of watching the king of Jin, the emperor besieged but did not attack, it is not a long-term solution." Gu Yinzhao pointed out something else and talked eloquently.
Rong Jinhuan's expression moved, put the sunspot on the chessboard, and said solemnly: "The city occupied by the King of Jin is not big but not small, and if you forcibly attack it, you will definitely suffer heavy losses, and the difficulty can be solved in a few months." ”
Gu Yinzhao nodded, and then said: "Your Majesty, it is not difficult for the King of Jin to be defeated, but in this way, the clan relatives are weak, and they are afraid that the power will fall." ”
"Then the cabinet system will be restored, step by step, and it will not be impossible for thirty or fifty years." Rong Jinhuan seemed impatient and prevaricated.
"What the emperor said is easy, now that the Qingping Sect has not been cleared and Hongzhou has not been cleared, the minister finally took advantage of the stalemate in Beihu and returned to Beijing, but now it is the first time to be idle." Gu Yinzhao smiled bitterly, raised his hand and embedded Baizi in the chess game.
"If you want to learn from the old man Gu's straightforward advice, I think you are still exempt." Rong Jinhuan simply put aside the chess and said in a warning.
"My father is also a loyal gentleman." Gu Yinzhao took it lightly, suddenly frowned, looked at Rong Jinhuan's handsome face, and suddenly sighed, "The ministers have parents, wives and children, and the help is limited. ”
"Reliable people?" Rong Jinhuan's face became gloomy a little bit, and his sharp eyes kept going back and forth on Gu Yinzhao's body.
"The virtuous concubine has no backer, and the king with a different surname will eventually leave the heavens, and the emperor is not likely to be sealed, so let go early, why bother with trouble?" Gu Yinzhao seemed to know it in his heart, and he said it in one word. (To be continued......)
