188, breaking his legs
Before Hena could finish speaking, she was slapped by Aoba, who was originally sitting on the stool, was thrown to the ground, and Aoba kicked her knee, and then buckled it back.
Hena shouted, Gu Nian sat on the top, elegantly picked up the tea cup on the side, and asked, "You say it, it will probably make you suffer less pain."
The princess of the girl's family is also very pitiful, if you don't say it, some people will say, for example, someone told me that you are actually secretly colluding with a certain prince of my dynasty......"
"How do you know...... Hena's words blurted out, and after saying it, she stared at Gu Nian with hatred, and her lips were about to be bitten by herself.
Qingye and Astragalus looked at Gu Nian at the same time, and Gu Nian put down the teacup in his hand, and his face was already solemn.
She knew that Beiban must have buried spies in the court, but she didn't know who it was, otherwise it would be impossible to detain Hena's master and servant like this today.
She was purely deceiving Hena, but she didn't expect to be really deceived by her.
The whereabouts of the four princes have not been found until now, and he escaped from the house last time, and now, it is like a cow entering the sea, and there is no trace of it.
The four princes are like a sharp blade above Xuan's head, and they don't know when they will fall.
"How did you get in touch?" Gu Nian asked quietly.
Hena snorted coldly, "How do I know, and it's not to contact me, this news is something I overheard from Brother Oda before." ”
"I haven't met that person, but after learning the news, I went to meet with his subordinates in private with Brother Aoda."
Gu Nian believes that no matter how favored Hena is, she is still a woman no matter what, and it is impossible for the Khan King of the Northern Barbarians to tell her everything.
"His subordinates? Have you ever met someone? Who is it? Gu Nian asked.
Hena breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly, "I haven't seen it, my brother won't let me in, but I heard a voice. ”
"How old does that sound?" Gu Nian asked again.
"It's a young man. It looks like it's a good figure, it seems to be a nobleman from your east. Hena raised her chin, as if sarcastically.
I just said that Beiban is just a small state, so what if Dongli is a big country? Aren't there any nobles who have been bought by the people of their country?
The young Dongli nobleman, this range is too wide, Gu Nian can't guess who it is.
"And then?" Gu Nian frowned and continued to ask.
Hena put away her smile and said, "Later, then they talked about some cooperation, at first they talked loudly, and then it slowly became smaller, and I couldn't hear it." ”
Gu Nian looked at her with a twisted eyebrow, and suddenly said, "You shouldn't be going with your brother, right?" If you go with Lord Oda, he shouldn't let you stand outside, who are you going with? ”
A look appeared between Hena's eyebrows, "My brother is the leader of the mission, or the prince of the Northern Barbarians, if he doesn't go, who else can go?" ”
Gu Nian shook his head, "Say, who took you there?" Isn't it the one in your mission named Hodder? ”
Speaking of Hodder's name, Hena kept silent, and she turned to say, "I know that young man's surname is Mo, and I don't know anything else." “
After speaking, he held his head high, and he looked like he was helpless.
Gu Nian stared at her, not knowing what to say for a while.
Aoba and Astragalus also looked at each other, and it was clear that Hena's message had greatly exceeded their expectations.
In the Dongli Dynasty, the nobles surnamed Mo only had the concubine of the eldest princess of Changning, the Wang family of Yanzhou, and the Mo family.
And there is only one person in the Mo family in the capital now, and that is the eldest young master of the Mo family, who is the elder brother of the Mo Fei girl who once pestered Gu Shi'an to marry Gu Shi'an.
There are indeed officials surnamed Mo in the court, but those are just petty officials, not nobles in Hena's mouth.
Gu Nian didn't expect that such a scam would deceive so much news.
The eldest princess of Changning has always been a staunch supporter of the royal family, because she has never stood in line, nor has she been like others, to portrait the dragon.
And the Mo family is a prominent family in Yanzhou, even if there are not many people who are officials in the court, as long as it comes to the Mo family in Yanzhou, everyone knows it, and no one knows it.
Young Master Mo's official position in the court is not very high, and Gu Nian can't remember the specific position for a while.
"And what did they talk about at the beginning?" Gu Nian asked.
Hena hooked her lips and said, "Master Mo came to see my brother instead of his master, and he said that when the time comes, he will ask us to harass at the border, and all the soldiers and generals in the court will be dropped to the border, and then his master will take advantage of the empty army in the capital to force the palace."
After the deed was accomplished, his master ceded to us all the cities that stretched from the border to the northern barbarians for 500 miles.
At that time, the Lord Mo was only willing to cut 300 li of land to us, but then there was probably no one to help, and he needed our help, so he reluctantly agreed to 500 li of land, and then signed a contract with us. ”
Gu Nian frowned, "He also signed a contract with you?" ”
"That's right." Hena sneered, "I didn't expect how desperate this prince was, willing to cut so much to us." ”
She couldn't help laughing, and there was no anger on her face at the moment, but only smug and cheerful.
Gu Nian's brows began to wrinkle more and more tightly.
She didn't know why the man had agreed to sign such a contract, but it was clear that he had underestimated the meanness of the Northern Barbarians.
Xiao Yue killed 100,000 soldiers in the Northern Barbarians, this feud can't be solved, according to Xiao Yue, it's normal that it can't be solved, as long as they are beaten down.
Everything is solved by force, which is also the best way.
And once the Northern Barbarians really get these five hundred miles of land, it is impossible to be satisfied, perhaps, this is the beginning of the Northern Barbarians' deliberate attempt to capture Dongli.
Gu Nian pondered for a while and said, "You just said that Master Mo you went to see in private, then, where did you go to meet him?" It won't be a restaurant or a teahouse or something. ”
Hena refused to say the address at first, but then she was kicked in the knee twice by Aoba, and the cold sweat broke out in pain, so she had to say an address.
Gu Nian heard the address, and then stared at Hena.
Hena was stared at by her, and said angrily, "What are you looking at? ”
Gu Nian smiled and opened her knee, she had just been kicked several times by Aoba, and the injury was not visible, but the dislocation must have been dislocated, otherwise, it would not have hurt like that.
After reading it, she stood up and said leisurely, "I didn't expect you to be yin enough." ”
"Did you plan it before you came?"
Hena looked at her inexplicably.
Gu Nian said, "Tell me so clearly, and say that person's surname, and also say such an address, don't you just want to provoke my anger, and then let me talk to my prince, and go directly to the emperor to report the Mo family." ”
"You Beiban used to look down on us Central Plains people, but in the past ten years, a large number of Han people have been recruited, plus the spies you have planted in the court.
Then, you must have a clear understanding of the various relations between the Dongli Dynasty and the court, as well as the situation. ”
"Do you want us to have civil strife?"
Although the Beiban has been defeated, there are still 3,000 dings in the broken ship, and it is impossible for the Beiban to devote all his strength to the battle, so he will save a little strength.
Generally speaking, after Hena said the Mo family, Gu Nian would definitely tell Xiao Yue, and then let Xiao Yue tell the emperor, and finally punish the Mo family.
Then, the peace talks will not be able to continue, and maybe the emperor will send troops to the North again when he is angry.
And at this time, the Northern Barbarians must be ready to fight, so if they rashly send troops, Dongli may lose the war.
Not only that, but also let the person who secretly colluded with the Northern Barbarians find an opportunity to force the palace.
As soon as Gu Nian's words came out, there was a trace of coldness in Hena's eyes.
She didn't expect Gu Nian to see through her thoughts, and at the same time, Gu Nian's transparency and calmness were something she had never imagined.
It is not difficult to be transparent, there are many smart people in this world, and it is not difficult to be calm, and there are many people who are calm and calm by nature.
However, there are not so many people who can think through all of this at the same time, and then deal with it calmly.
Gu Nian looked down at the palm of his hand, and then instructed Qingye and Astragalus, "Tie these two up and wait for the prince to come back and dispose of them." ”
When Hena heard this, she immediately shouted, "Princess Jin, you dare?" Do you know that by doing this, you have to bear the consequences, and you can bear it? ”
"I'm also a Northern Barbarian envoy anyway, if you really tie me up, don't think about having good fruit to eat."
Gu Nian smiled, "Don't worry about this, even if I kill you, I don't need to explain anything to you?"
She paused and said, "Since you don't understand, then the princess will be kind and explain it to you." ”
"You came to me angrily with people to find trouble with me, why should I let you go? I'm not a rotten persimmon, you can step on it.
Again, I remember that each of your envoys has our guards by his side, right? How did you get out of the noses of the guards and I fell into the trap here?
I suspect you're deliberately trying to get rid of the guards and attack us.
Moreover, these are all my people, who saw you come to me? Who saw it? Did you see that? ”
The people waiting in the room shook their heads and said, "Princess, we didn't see anything, you just hit flies in the house today." ”
Hena was almost disgusted by Gu Nian's brazenness, but she came out recklessly just now and brought Lina over, she didn't expect Princess Jin to dare to tie her up anyway.
……
Hena brought people to take care of the trouble here, Hod received it at the beginning, he didn't take it to heart, since Oda died, Hena has been jumping up and down, trying to find justice for Oda .
But he knew that justice was impossible to recover, and now there was no movement from Dongli's side, maybe he was just waiting for them to come to the door, and then Ao Da drove the horses crazy, as well as the assassination of Princess Jin and King Su.
Although the mission can't find justice, it doesn't prevent Hena from looking for people everywhere, after all, Hena is a woman, and it's naturally good if she succeeds.
Even if Dongli is annoyed here, when questioning them, they can use a woman's vexatious reason to fool the past.
Until it was almost dark, Hena had not returned to the place where the mission was staying, which made Hod feel ominous.
He couldn't sit still in the courtyard, so he took someone out to inquire, but there was no news of Hena along the way, so he thought about it and could only go to the courtyard where Princess Jin lived to ask.
He wanted to take the opportunity to make trouble, but it was still unknown whether Hena went to Princess Jin's side, and if he couldn't find evidence on other people's territory, he came to the door to question, which was equivalent to stretching his face over and letting people beat him.
But Oda is already dead, and he can't let Hena have an accident too, otherwise, there is really no way to explain to King Khan.
He wandered around the courtyard where Gu Nian lived for a while, but decided to go in and pay a visit.
Xiao Yue had something to do with the emperor today, so he sent someone back so that Gu Nian didn't have to wait for him to eat, and Gu Shi'an hadn't come here for several days, but he sent someone over every day to talk about his injuries.
When Hodder came to visit, Gu Nian was having dinner, and when he heard the name of 'Hodder', he didn't raise his head, but said, "Let him wait, don't affect my mood for dinner." ”
When she was grinding, she ate rice, drank soup, rinsed her mouth, and changed her clothes, and it took most of the hour.
When she came out of the main house, she saw Hold standing under a tree in the courtyard, and when she heard footsteps, she turned around.
It was about the time when he came to the east and followed the customs, and Hodder was wearing a long gown, and he did not wear their hats on his head, but wore them casually.
It looks like a bit of a human dog.
However, Gu Nian didn't pay attention to these, she blessed Huo Defu and said, "I've been waiting for a long time, I don't know why you insist on seeing me?" ”
Huo De looked at Gu Nian's familiar face, replied with a straight look, and did not ask about Hena, but asked, "Do you really not know Ye Niangzi?" Under the meaning is the same as you, the leaf lady. ”
Gu Nian said slowly, "I don't know why you are obsessed with this Ye Niangzi, but I definitely say that I don't know." ”
"If that's the case, then I can't answer you."
With that, she turned and headed into the house.
With a lunge step, Hodder stepped forward to stop her and asked, "I wonder if Princess Hena from our mission has ever been here with you, she has been gone since the morning." I heard that I came to you to discuss the matter between women. ”
Gu Nianha laughed, this person's excuse is very good, what to discuss the matter between women, it is clear that he came to the door to find fault.
But Hodder's tone wasn't affirmative, that is, he wasn't sure if Hena was here.
"She hasn't come to me, you better look elsewhere, speaking of which, you should still discipline your people, some places you can go, some places you can't go."
She looked at Hold meaningfully.
Huo De looked at her suspiciously and said, "You really didn't come to find the princess?" ”
Gu Nian said impatiently, "No is nothing." ”
Huo De didn't dwell on it, but arched his hand to Gu Nian and said, "Then disturb the princess, and ask somewhere else." ”
Gu Nian smiled and stood still.
There was a sudden sound from the small firewood room in the east, Gu Nian's face sank slightly, and Huo De seemed to have heard this sound, turned around, and said to Gu Nian,
"Princess, it looks like your yard is not clean either, there are probably rats or something."
"Indeed, it's late today, and the princess of tomorrow will ask the people from the palace to come over to clean up, isn't the envoy going to find Princess Hena? Then go for it. ”
Gu Nian was the same as before, and he couldn't see anything unusual.
Huo De nodded, but as soon as he turned around, he didn't expect to attack Gu Nian quickly, his movements were fast, but the astragalus standing beside Gu Nian was faster.
She stopped at Hodder's side, and at the same time, Aoba also stepped forward with Astragalus to stop Hodder.
Gu Nian retreated to the porch.
"Beat him to death."
Gu Nian scolded.
Huo De knew that the maids around Gu Nian had kung fu, and he had just made a move, but it was just a test, and he was a little skeptical that Hena was locked up by Princess Jin.
When he came to Princess Jin's side, he had already gone to all the places he could go to in the palace, and there was no news of Hena.
And Princess Jin's side is the last place, that sound, although he said that it was rats and these things, but how could there be these things in the palace?
Before the emperor who left the east left, he must have sent someone to clean it well.
He didn't really want to do anything to Princess Jin, but right now, Princess Jin ordered to fight to death, so it was fake and true.
Although Astragalus and Aoba are women, their kung fu is not weak, and that's it, they can't please in front of Hod.
Gu Nian stood aside, squinting at Hodder's figure, this person is definitely not simple, how can he just be a mere guard?
Although Xiao Yue said that Gu Nian should not wait for her to have dinner, where would she stay outside until late?
After saying the matter, the emperor left him to eat, but he refused, just to come back early to accompany Gu Nian.
He hurried to his lodgings, but before he reached the gate of the courtyard, he felt that something was wrong when he heard the sound, and he rushed into the courtyard.
The three figures in the courtyard were entangled, and the burly man clearly had the upper hand at the moment.
Just when the burly man was about to turn towards Gu Nian, who was standing under the porch, he toe to the ground, like a wing, swept to Gu Nian's side, and took the move with lightning speed.
Huo De knew that it would definitely not please if he continued, and since he had been characterized, it was better to catch Princess Jin first.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he wanted to attack Princess Jin, he was stopped by a figure like a phantom, and then he was hit in the shoulder.
He covered the shoulders of the stroke and retreated to a zhang away, "King Jin ......"
He has never dealt with the King of Jin, once he was very sorry, he was only a king with a different surname in the Northern Barbarians, for some reasons, he was favored by the King of Khan, and then put it under his knees to raise, and then because he leveled several major tribes in the grassland, he was named the king of the right day.
The last time he fought with the King of Jin, the King of Khan wanted him to lead the troops, but he was squeezed out by Aoda's eldest brother, and that battle caused the Northern Barbarians to suffer heavy losses, so during the peace talks, he and the King of Khan asked to come to Dongli to have a look.
Xiao Yue protected Gu Nian by his side, dusted off his robe, swept his eyebrows over Huo De in front of him, and before he could speak, Gu Nian stretched out his head and said, "This is my husband, the wise and martial King of Jin." ”
Xiao Yue glanced at her and felt that she was very different today, such a style was clearly a little daughter's style.
His thoughts have never been like this.
I only listened to Gu Nian and continued, "Dark One, someone in the envoy group wants to murder your princess, and you still haven't asked the leader of the envoy group to give an explanation to the prince?" ”
Secretly touched the back of his head, looked at Gu Nian, and said, "Princess, their leader, isn't the prince of Ao Da already trampled by a horse like mud......"
"Then find their deputy leader, there is always someone in charge."
Dark One turned around and ordered a small servant who followed behind, asking him to hurry up and find someone, and at the same time let people go to the emperor's place and ask the emperor to invite someone over.
After a while, people came from the envoy group and the emperor's side, Ao Da's deputy from the envoy group, and the emperor's side came from Chang Yuan's father-in-law.
"Father-in-law Chang, and the deputy envoy, this Huo De is just a small guard, and he actually wants to assassinate me, which is too terrifying." Gu Nian raised his chin and said to the people from the Beiban side.
"Princess, is there any misunderstanding here?" The deputy envoy looked at Hodder, who was holding his shoulders and his face was pale, and he made a round.
"No misunderstanding, I'm having dinner, and this guard of yours came to me and asked me for your princess Hena, it's ridiculous, your princess is not optimistic, and you actually came to me.
I said I hadn't seen it, but I didn't expect him to attack me, fortunately, the maid next to me is a little kung fu, and fortunately, my prince came back in time, otherwise, today next year will probably be my sacrifice day......"
When Gu Nian talked about the sacrifice day, the hand that stopped her shoulder suddenly pinched her, and she throbbed.
The owner of that hand, Xiao Yue said, "She is my princess, and a small guard of your country dares to act like this, which makes this king very suspicious of the sincerity of your peace talks, and you have a grudge against this king, so you make a move against this king's princess." ”
The deputy envoy wiped the sweat that kept rising on his forehead, and looked at Huo De, the people of the envoy group knew Huo De's identity, he walked a few steps, a little away from Gu Nian, and bowed to Gu Nian,
"I apologize to the princess for offending Hodder."
Gu Nian looked at him and said, "Since it was Hod who offended me, the lord only needs him to come out and apologize, but the lord, as the deputy envoy, actually condescended to a little guard?" ”
The deputy envoy said, "Since it was my subordinates who made mistakes, then I, the leader, naturally have mistakes, and I am naturally responsible." ”
Gu Nian smiled meaninglessly and said, "Then what if this princess doesn't accept the apology of the deputy envoy?" Your apology doesn't discourage me or diminish the shock I just received. After all, I'm still a patient. ”
"I'm a first-class concubine of the Dongli Dynasty, and I was attacked by a Fanbang guard, which is a great humiliation.
You are blatantly looking down on our Eastern Departure Dynasty.
Can such a flirtatious apology be smoothed out?
So where is the face of our Eastern Dynasty placed? ”
The deputy envoy's waist bowed lower, and he said with a solemn face, "What does the princess want?" ”
"Thirty sticks or break his legs, you choose."
