Chapter 280: The Storm Rises Again (1)
In the next few days, in addition to taking me to the Fusu Pavilion to fill my stomach, the rest of the time I couldn't wait to peel my skin and bones and swallow it whole. It was dark in the small room, day and night, and his energy was so good that I was staggered.
"Woman, you have made me childless for three years, when will you be able to give me back a child?"
"Is that kid really your lieutenant?"
"Maybe, maybe not, horizontal and vertical has nothing to do with me."
"Although you have a bad record in the past, you will not deny it."
"Hmph, if I hadn't fallen into your hands back then, I'm afraid that the house would have been full of children at this moment, how could it be reduced to a ridiculous conversation after dinner."
"Hordes? You're holding it up. ”
"Look if I'm a big one!" He turned over and came to catch me again, I put my head on his chest and shouted: "Don't make trouble, we are Jin envoys, we are going to see Song Gong, we are going to see Song Taishi-"
"How? See you like this? He reached out and grabbed my waist and sat me up.
"You!" I felt a chill on my body, and hurriedly lowered my head to cover my chest. He laughed and lifted me higher with his arms.
"Zhao Wuxian - you madman! I'm not dressed, it's cold-"
"Is it cold? It won't be cold that way. ”
"Master, girl, you whisper!"
The sound of Ah Yu came from outside the door, and I was hot, and my mouth was closed, and I was as red as a ripe shrimp.
"Hahaha, spare you, go see Song Taishi tomorrow." The person who was not afraid of the cold jumped off the bed with a loud bang, put on his clothes and walked to the door of the room, opened a small slit, and said to Ah Yu outside the door: "Get out!" ”
said that on this day, we were going to visit Song Taishi Ziwei together, but I didn't expect that as soon as Wuxian and I left the room, the temple people in the Song Palace came to the pavilion to spread the will of Song Gong, saying that they wanted to summon Zhao Shizi of Jin Kingdom into the Gong Palace to see him.
Wuxian was going to meet Song Gong, but the greeting post to Taishifu had been sent before, so we had to divide the troops into two ways, and I went to see Ziwei alone.
Song Taishi Ziwei is Shi Mo's old friend, and Shi Mo's appearance is not angry and arrogant, he is "born" very kind, with a round face and curved eyebrows, and a quite kind smile. But I know that Ziwei is a very powerful character in his bones. The world-famous and daily Fusu Pavilion was founded by him, and the news of the Fusu Pavilion from south to north naturally also entered his ears. So, unlike the plan that Wu Xian had arranged before, I didn't intend to test his views on the alliance of the Jin, Wei, and Song Kingdoms from the beginning.
After I entered the Taishi Mansion and saw Ziwei, I told him directly about my intention. Ziwei was very happy, because I didn't treat him as a fool, and I didn't treat him as an outsider.
Ziwei pinched a string of "dragonfly eyes" (1) that Smoto gave him and told me that the Duke of Song did not like the Qi people, and the Song State did want the Jin State to help it clean up the annoying Zheng State, but there was a gap between the monarchs and ministers of the Wei Kingdom, and it would be difficult to live in peace for a long time. It is too early to talk about a covenant at this time.
Ziwei's meaning is very clear, we can make an alliance with you, but you have to get rid of the "big guy" to defend the country first, otherwise, I will follow you alone, and I am afraid of being taught a lesson by Qi people when I turn back.
Zheng, Wei, and Song were sandwiched between Qi and Jin, and whoever got them would be the new overlord of the world. And among these three countries, the patriotic force is the largest, and if you want to make the other two countries bow down, you must first rein in the patriotic country. In order to rein in the defense of the country and dominate the world, Zhao Ying has been waiting for more than ten years. It's a pity that that Wei Jun is too uncomfortable.
After Ziwei finished chatting with me, he left me to eat a table of snacks sent by the Fusu Pavilion, moved the astrolabe with me, drew a star map, and chatted about the stars all day.
At dusk, I found an opportunity to get up and say goodbye, and the head of the Taishi Mansion sent me outside the gate.
Ah Yu had been waiting in the gatehouse all day, and when he saw me coming out, he hurriedly greeted me.
"It's easy for guests to go, this is a little bit of the heart of the head of the house." The old man brought me a small box carved with red lacquer.
I bowed and thanked him, took the gift box and handed it to Ah Yu, and turned around and said to the housekeeper: "Dare to ask the housekeeper, where did the original housekeeper in your house go?" ”
"Back to your guests, it's been more than a year since the family was deceased."
"Dead, how?" On this day, I didn't see the bald-eyed and white-looking family in Ziwei's mansion inside and out, I thought he was guilty of Ziwei and was demoted to other places, but I didn't expect it to be dead.
"Those who fell into the well and died in the wine garden behind the Fusu Pavilion, and the garden was also sealed." When Lao Jiazai said "Wine Garden", he secretly glanced at me, he used to be the backyard steward of Ziwei's mansion, although he didn't talk to me, but he probably knew me and saw me, just because I was dressed as a man at the moment, and I was an envoy of the Jin Kingdom, so I didn't dare to call me a mother. "Do you know the poor man?" The housekeeper asked tentatively.
"I can't talk about acquaintance." I smiled slightly, raised my hand and saluted, "I'm tired of the prime minister, I'll leave first!" ”
"Distinguished guests are leaving." The housekeeper returned the gift, and I took Ah Yu to the crowd outside the house.
"Girl, why have you been in for so long today? Is it impossible to talk? Ah Yu asked.
"Wei Guo's mess is there, how can it be discussed. What Ziwei gave, open it and take a look. ”
"Oh." Ah Yu lowered his head and opened the red lacquer box in his hand.
I glanced at it casually but couldn't help but stop. This is a white jade crown, the jade crown is not carved with ordinary auspicious cloud patterns, and the carvings are all delicate and lovely flowers. Hibiscus, Zeeland, red medicine, peach and plum, Xuanwei, exquisite carving, different flower postures. I am a sorcerer and a woman, Ziwei knows my identity, and he actually gave me such a crown of flowers.
"Girl, didn't you say that this Ziwei is a rich man, how could he be willing to give you such a valuable gift?" Ah Yu saw that several men on the road were probing his brain beside us, and quickly closed the lacquer box.
"He's trying to bribe me!" I sent Dragonfly Eye because I wanted Ziwei to persuade Song Gong to form an alliance with Jin, and Ziwei sent a hundred flower crowns to persuade me to persuade Shi Mo to persuade Zhao Ying to send troops to fight Zheng for Song. Everything in the world has internal strengths, and Ziwei and I are both well-versed in this, and we also know that it is not easy to subdue each other. On the surface, I talked to him about astrology, but in fact, he didn't deviate from the general trend of the world. Tired mouth, tired heart, even this crown of flowers can't make me jump at this moment.
The sun was setting, the twilight was falling, and the night breeze blowing from the other side of the long street carried a slight chill into the robes. The spring cold in February, without the sun, is so cold, as if the warmth of the previous day was a lie.
It was quite a long way from the Song Taishi Mansion to the pavilion, and I was already sneezing and snorting less than halfway through.
Ah Yu regretted that he didn't bring me an extra robe when he went out in the morning, but I only sighed that I had been pampered for too long, and I couldn't even bear the cold wind.
Think about it when I was a child, I was beaten and kicked, and I got sick one after another, but as long as I was sick, I was always alive. Where is it like now...... I was sighing in my heart, and four or five beggar-looking teenagers suddenly rushed out of the alley in front of me, and they couldn't see what they were grabbing, so they just squeezed together indiscriminately, fighting and kicking around. Later, I don't know who got the thing, and was surrounded by several other people in the center and beat them all around.
"Ah Yu, go and take a look!" I said to Ah Yu.
Ah Yu nodded and was about to step forward, but at this time, a black shadow suddenly jumped out behind him, and snatched the lacquer box containing the Hundred Flowers Corolla in his hand at once.
Ah Yu was stunned for a moment, then pulled out his scimitar and chased him out with a curse. I could only shout, "Beware of deception!" He had already followed the shadow into an alley.
Standing on the dimly lit street, with the alley where Ah Yu disappeared on one side and the beggars who were fighting lively, I suddenly felt a little dazed and didn't know what I should do at this time. At this moment, a small red gauze light suddenly floated out of the alley in front of the road. The man carrying the lantern was a man, with a long body, his hair tied lightly, and he had no sword at his waist, except for a sachet with a long silk thread that flew in the night wind.
When the beggars saw someone coming, they dispersed with a little coaxing, but they dispersed but did not leave, still staring at the people on the ground.
I took a few steps forward, and saw a boy about ** years old lying on the ground, who had been beaten and his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, but he was still holding on to the things in his arms.
The man with the lantern stopped beside the boy, and I thought he would save the child, but he only took a dagger full of gems from his waist and threw it in front of the boy, and left.
The boy picked up the dagger on the ground, struggled to get up and ran. The group of beast-like teenagers who were waiting by the side roared loudly, and they all chased after them.
I followed a few steps forward, and the man with the lantern suddenly turned to look at me.
Long eyebrows, phoenix eyes, tear moles, it's him! The man who abandoned wine and chrysanthemums in the Huaicheng Pavilion Station!
He actually came to Shangqiu too!
A thought slipped through my mind, and I immediately raised my sword and chased after it.
Shangqiu City is full of alleys, and after a while, I lost people. Going around and around, I finally went back to the original street, and as soon as I got out of the alley, I saw the corpses of two beggars on the ground. One of them was the boy who had been beaten. He had been stabbed several times in the abdomen, his mouth and stomach were covered in blood, the contents of his arms were gone, and the dagger was gone.
"What would you do if it were you?" The voice of an unfamiliar man came from behind me, and my body went numb, and a chill ran down my spine.
"You ......"
"Don't look back, look at him and tell me the answer." A cold, hard object was pressed against my waist.
I calmed down and sneered: "Don't you people from Qi know that there are still two words in this world called 'saving people'? ”
"My dagger is the opportunity I gave him. It's just a pity that he's too stupid. What about you, are you a smart person? ”
