Chapter 269: Mountain Tower Lock Heart (2)
Zixi is the prime minister of the Chu State, in charge of military and political power, and Chen Pan's meeting with him must be a major national event. ← Sanjiang Pavilion, but the state of Chu was different from the state of Qi, which made Yin Zixi extremely respectful of his young monarch, and the matter that Chen Pan discussed with him may be too important, so that he had to wait until the king of Chu returned to the dynasty before making a decision. So I guess that the reason why Chen Pan left was because he learned that the capital of the Patriotic Kingdom was lost, and the reason why Chen Wei stayed was because he had to wait for an answer from the King of Chu.
As for what the answer is, I can only think of two words of alliance.
The Marquis of Jin sent troops to attack Zheng, Zhao Ying was in Wei Lijun, the Song State was biased towards the Jin State, and once the Jin people won the Song, Wei, and Zheng Kingdoms, the Jin State would regain its dominance over the world.
The Qi people were in a hurry, so they set their sights on the distant state of Chu.
Qi was in the east, Chu was in the west, and the Jin State was sandwiched between these two great powers.
If Qi and Chu form an alliance, the Jin State will definitely be in trouble.
This night, Yu An sent Ah Yang to accompany me to practice swords, and by the way, he sent me a short sword. This sword is from the hand of the Xun hexagram swordsmith, it is two feet long, the sword body is thin and narrow, and the sword material is sandwiched with cast cast iron, so it is much tougher than ordinary bronze swords.
I have been practicing swords for the past two months, at first using pine branches, then daggers, and now I finally have a sword of my own, and I can't put it down when I hold it in my hand.
Ah Yang was happy to see me playing, and endured it for a long time before saying, "Sister, this sword is not used like this. ”
"How?" I swung two more swords, and I felt that the sword was fierce, and it sounded very enjoyable.
"Lord Xun said that learning the sword is not a day's work, and my sister must use skill if she wants to control the enemy. Although this sword is made of pig iron, when it encounters a heavy sword, it will break with one blow, and it cannot be used with ordinary moves. Ah Yang motioned for me to hand over the sword in my hand to her, and then stabbed a straw man in the courtyard, and pierced the throat with a sword, "The most suitable trick for such a small sword is to stab, my sister has studied medicine for many years, and she must be more familiar with human bones and muscles than Ah Yang, and if you find a bone gap and pierce it, you can still kill the enemy." Fast, ruthless, and accurate, this is what my sister wants to practice. ”
"You little girl, when it comes to swordsmanship, it's the way to go. Well, I made a note of it! The little master came over first, and my sister had something to say to you. I smiled and took Ah Yang's hand and walked to the steps and sat down, "Ah Yang, did you tell Mrs. Wuyin before that you want to go out of the valley to Xinjiang?" ”
"How did my sister know?" Ah Yang wiped the hilt of the sword on his clothes and handed it to me respectfully.
"You forgot? Wuyin was standing in this courtyard that day and said, she said that if you kill me, she will agree to let you go out of the valley to Xinjiang. ”
"Oh, I remember! My sister scared me to death that day, and Ah Yang thought ......"
"Think you're going to die here with me?" I smiled and patted her hands, "I'm going to find someone to help me deliver a letter to Xinjiang now." If you want to go, I will send you. Don't be in a hurry to come back after you've gone. I'll ask someone to take you to have a good walk and have fun in Xinjiang. If you like Xinjiang and want to stay, I will tell you Lord Xun to go. ”
"Sister wants me to stay in Xinjiang?" The smile on Ah Yang's face froze suddenly.
"What's wrong? You don't want to? ”
"I ...... I don't want to go to Xinjiang now. The little girl got up and knelt down before me with a pop.
"Why don't you want to go again?" I reached out and pulled Ah Yang up.
"Because...... Because Lord Xun has returned. Ah Yang told the secret of her heart when I didn't expect it, she looked down at her toes, I didn't speak, she looked up at me with a frightened face.
At this point, I don't know what to say. I thought that she, like a girl in an ordinary border village, had a dream of a capital in her heart, and wanted to go to the capital city in her own country. Unexpectedly, what she hid in her heart was Yu An.
"Sister, are you angry? Lord Xun only has his sister in his heart, as long as Ah Yang stays by Lord Xun's side, looks at him a few times occasionally, and listens to him say a few words. Ah Yang held my hand tightly, and a handsome girl suddenly turned into a panicked sparrow.
"No......" I looked at the person in front of me, thinking of the four sons in Xinjiang City, and couldn't help but sigh long, "Your Xun master already has a wife and children in Xinjiang City, ...... She and you...... Oh, forget it, if you want to stay in Tianshu, I won't force you, I'll let Kuroko go about delivering the letter! ”
"Leader?"
"It's okay, it's not up to you to control who you like. Go, help me go to Gen and call the sunspot. ”
"No." Ah Yang Nene stood up and saluted, and shuffled away.
I looked at the empty courtyard under the moonlight, and looked up and sighed again. Who came up with this nonsense about choosing a concubine for a husband and extending an heir? What woman in this world who truly loves her husband can willingly accept another woman. I can't do it, Si'er can't do it, and the bride who is as charming as the spring sun in March must not be able to do it. I think about going back to Xinjiang every day, I want to go back and see him again, say I'm sorry, and then what, and then where am I going to put him? In the heart, or at the end of the world?
When Yu An came to me, the moon was already in the middle of the sky, and I was pinching the knots of the cattails that had been returned without shirts in the courtyard.
"Did you ask Ah Yang to go to Gen to find the sunspot?"
"Why are you here? Didn't you say that you had something to discuss with Qi Yong and them tonight? "I tuck the knot into the cuff.
"A bunch of trivial things, after discussing it, I'll come over for Ah Yang to tell you by the way, Heizi sprained his foot in a sword match with Qi Yong this morning, if you have any letter to send, I will send someone else to you." Yu An bypassed the campfire and sat down beside me.
"It's okay, then let him go when his foot injury heals!"
"Do you have something to tell Wuxian?"
"A few days ago, I received news from Chu Guolai, saying that the Chen clan of Qi sent someone to meet Yin Zixi, the commander of Chu State. I'm afraid that there will be changes between Qi and Chu, so I want to find someone to give Wuxian a wake-up call. As for why Kuroko was allowed to go, it was my selfishness. First, he can pass the message for me, and secondly, I want him to wait in Xinjiangcheng, and when the snow melts and spring, I will take Si'er and Dong Shi to Tianshu. You know, I'm not at ease when the affairs of Si'er and the child are handed over to others. Ming Yi accompanied Bolu to stay in Chu to recuperate, and he couldn't come back for a while. I can't figure out Qi Yong, if I take the medical dust away in the spring, I'm afraid you will have to stay in Tianshu forever. Si'er, she finally looked forward to marrying you, and she couldn't let her stay in Xinjiang with her children all the time. ”
Yu An bent the corners of his mouth and sighed: "Si'er has you thinking about it like this in this life, but it's worth it." ”
"Since I met her when I was four years old, she didn't think about me like this. It's just that I'm sorry for her, living like this, and telling her to worry about me all the time. ”
"It's your life and mine." Yu An looked at the sparks floating on the bonfire, his eyes flickered, "Every time I step on the edge of life and death over the years, I feel that this is my life." It is destined for me to meet you in Yongcheng and let you meet Wuxi. You and I have had ups and downs over the years, life and death, and I have obviously thought about escaping such a bad day, but we are all sitting here. This is fate, and there is no escape. The matter between Qi and Chu, I will send someone to investigate again, you don't have to worry too much. I've got something here, you can take a look at it first. ”
"What is this?" I took a handkerchief from Ann.
"The Prime Minister's reply."
"So fast?"
"It is said that three fast horses died along the way, and the messenger was paralyzed as soon as he returned."
"Prime Minister Qing, this is afraid that we will hurt Wuyin by torture. He is different from others after all. ”
"Why don't you open it and take a look?"
"It's nothing to look at, it must be for us to treat Wuyin well, and then send someone to send her to Xinjiang after the beginning of spring, and he will personally interrogate her."
"You haven't lived in Zhao Mansion for a long time, but you know Zhao Ying very well."
"Wuyin knows Qingxiang better than me, that's why she is so fearless."
"If she switches to the Chen family, it will be more troublesome to stay in Tianshu, and it will be easier to send her to Xinjiang." Yu An flicked the pine branch that had fallen out of the fire.
"Hmm. Have you shown this letter to Wuyin? ”
"No, I want to wait for you to go over tomorrow, and then help you get the key to the lock building."
"Thank you."
"What are you thanking me for this time?" Yu An looked at me sideways.
"Thank you for not asking anything, just bother to help me get the key!" I rested my head on my knee and tilted my head to smile at him.
"As soon as you say this, I can't open my mouth if I want to ask." Yu An shrugged and smiled.
"It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that what I'm looking for is too complicated to say, and even I can't figure it out myself."
"I don't know, let's put it first! Get up and use your new sword to make a few moves with me! Yu An got up and handed me his hand.
I slapped his hand away and said with a smile: "If I do it with you, I will definitely die within three moves." ”
"Then I don't need a sword, and I'll let you have one more hand." Yu An untied his sword and threw it to me, and smiled and put his right hand behind his back.
"Back the right hand! Don't look down on me so much! I hurt you, I'm afraid that you won't be able to save face. ”
"I just said I didn't dare, let you take a step, and you will be rampant."
"For the past two months, someone has been praising in my ear every day that I am talented and talented as an Assassin. Beat you a stump without a sword, who is afraid of whom! I stood up, tightened my cuffs, and tightened my foot.
"Then try it!"
Although Yu An said that I would use a real sword to fight him, I was afraid that I would not be able to grasp the proportions and stab him soon after I practiced the sword, so I finally decided to use the pine sword instead. When I changed my sword, Yu An laughed very happily behind me, and I vaguely felt that this was the first time I had heard him laugh like this.
I fought with Yu An, and the purpose was not to win. If I can catch him with seven or eight moves, and then rub it into the corner of my clothes, I will be very satisfied. But as I pressed closer, he dodged frequently, and told me to dance fancy in the courtyard alone.
"Don't let me, you make a move!" I pointed my sword at his left hand and shouted.
"It's coming!" Yu An smiled and jerked forward.
I held my breath, and saw a flash of fire, but I didn't see anyone, and the sword was out of my hand.
"You ......"
"What's wrong with me?" Yu An looked at me, his feet moved, and I didn't have time to exclaim that I had fallen backwards.
The body fell to the ground, and the back of the head was held by a palm. When I opened my eyes, Yu An was half-leaning over me, and a three-inch nail slipped out of his sleeve and pressed against my throat.
"Now, you're dead." He stared at me with a smile in his starry and moon-like eyes.
I was lying on the cold ground, with a chill in my neck. But at this moment, I seemed to suddenly understand why Si'er and Ah Yang loved the man in front of them so desperately.
"What's wrong? Do you want to save my face with a wooden sword? Yu An turned his fingers, and the spike in his palm disappeared.
I remembered how stupid I had just changed my wooden sword, and my face turned red.
"Not comparable! Dead, dead, dead, the dead went to sleep. From tomorrow onwards, I will never practice swords again! I pushed Yu An away and got up from the ground and walked up the steps in a huff.
"Tomorrow, I'll have breakfast with you." He smiled and bent down to pick up his saber.
"Let's go, don't send it! Dead people don't eat! ”
I slammed the door shut. Outside the door, there was a low laugh in the pine waves. Baidu search "Sanjiang Pavilion" to see the latest and most complete!
