Chapter 54: Falling into a Trap
Sleepless all night, tossing and turning, always remembering what Zhuo Yi said yesterday, if Yan Yuzheng has reached an agreement with Wusu to commit treason, then the prince sent Su Zhao to Wusu is a dead move, and winning over Yan Yuzheng is nothing more than to open the gap in the west of Great Chu, and the purpose of opening the gap is obviously not to be a small border country with peace of mind. But thinking about it this way, there is really no need for Wusu to travel all the way to Dachu to ask to marry a sick young princess. What exactly are they up to? I really can't figure it out.
Until dawn outside the window, he still didn't fall asleep, so he simply got up and washed up to see if Huaiyu had woken up. As soon as he got out of the door, he felt like he had eyes behind him, and when he turned around, he didn't see anyone, so he continued to walk forward, and saw two guards standing at the door of Huaiyu from a distance, and bowed when he saw Xia Chuxin coming over.
"Is the princess awake?"
The two of them shook their heads in unison, saying that they had not heard the princess's call. When Xia Chuxin was still asleep, he didn't disturb her dreams, and it was a kind of happiness to finally be able to fall asleep after this long journey. Just as he was about to get up and leave, he heard Huaiyu calling inside: "Is it Sister Chuxin?" ”
Xia Chuxin paused and pushed the door in.
Huaiyu was still in yesterday's attire, shrunk by the bed with a wary expression. Seeing Xia Chuxin come in, he came out of the corner.
"Didn't you sleep all night? What about the waiting girl? Xia Chuxin was a little distressed when she looked at her pitiful little appearance.
Su Huaiyu lowered his eyes and said, "I don't know, yesterday, the fierce general called all the girls who accompanied him away, and asked people to guard at the door, and I didn't dare to go out, so I had to sit like this and wait for you to come." ”
After Xia Chuxin heard her words, his chest suddenly became astringent, yesterday he was still the golden branch and jade leaf of Chu State, but today he has become a kid in the chess game of other people's interests, and even a small border guard can casually put her under house arrest.
changed into a simple dress for her, and found someone to bring some porridge and rice, the two ate some indiscriminately, thinking of going out to find Xia Duo to think of a way together, but were stopped by two guards at the door.
"General Yan instructed that the princess should not leave the door for half a step without permission." The guard on the side said coldly.
Su Huaiyu hid behind Xia Chuxin and whispered, "Look, that fierce general won't let me go out." ”
Xia Chuxin was angry, and said to the two: "Open your dog's eyes and see clearly, who are you stopping?" ”
The two guards remained unmoved, still holding on to the door. When he was entangled with the guards at the door, he heard Su Zhao roaring not far away: "You two dog minions, how dare you stop this king?" Asked Yan Yuzheng to come to see me, but I was sent to Wusu on the orders of His Majesty the Emperor. What does Yan Yuzheng want to do? Don't think that this king is afraid of him. ”
It seems that the people who sent their relatives are already in prison at the moment. It seems that Yan Yuzheng is going to strike first. Xia Chuxin took advantage of the distraction of the guards at the door to raise his foot and kick the two over, pulling Huaiyu to run downstairs.
The guards behind him got up and hurriedly chased after him, seeing that he was about to reach the door, he didn't want to be blocked by Yan Yuzheng, who came in from the main gate.
Turning again, he saw the Usu siblings and Temur descending the stairs, sitting at a table behind them, watching them calmly.
"What do you want to do?" Xia Chuxin roared.
Yan Yuzheng sneered and said: "Lao Tzu Mingren doesn't do dark things, the emperor Lao Er is mediocre, I am Yan Yuzheng took his life for him, but he rewarded all his merits to the little white-faced King Guangliang, in this Chu country, only the Su family is a master, will we people with foreign surnames be trampled under his feet for the rest of our lives?" Lao Tzu is not convinced, 10,000 are not convinced, half of his life is sold to Chu State, and the remaining half of Lao Tzu wants to live freely. ”
"Shameless. You were born in Chu and grew up in Chu, if anyone doesn't live with you, it's just one person's doing, it's not that the Chu country can't live with you, you have to turn your back on the country and the place where you were born and raised you for your own selfish interests, and if you let the good Chu people go, you have to go to Wusu to be someone else's house slave? Xia Chuchu shouted indignantly.
Yan Yuzheng snorted coldly again, pointed to Yi Zhi on the opposite side and said: "Prince Yi Zhi has agreed to make me a foreign marquis, and I will have no worries and a lifetime of glory." What is a human being and what is a slave, Lao Tzu knows better than you. ”
"Is it human to wear gold and silver? Is it a person who eats fragrant and drinks spicy? Strict and upright, you have been a hero for half a lifetime, but I didn't expect it to be a greedy and vain thing. Do you have children? Are you really willing to let your children in later generations become slaves with two surnames? Xia Chuxin said sincerely.
Unexpectedly, Yan Yuzheng suddenly became angry after hearing the word "children", and said: "Lao Tzu has no children, no daughters, no worries, if it weren't for your father's white-faced dog cub, Lao Tzu may have both children by now, and you still dare to have children in front of Lao Tzu?" ”
Hearing him mention Xia Jingxiang, Xia Chuxin couldn't help but shake his head, and he didn't know what the feud between the two was. Then he said: "You clean your mouth for me, my father is upright and never does anything harmful." ”
Yan Yuzheng was completely angry, took a few steps forward and lifted Xia Chuxin's collar, and said, "Bright and fair? Xia Jingxiang is a son of a bitch. Shameless nasty bastard. Back then, I fell in love with Su Jiuer, if it wasn't for him, how could Su Jiuer turn his back on me and vote for him, and shamelessly gave birth to a child before passing the door, and what happened in the end? Do they think they can beat Su Pei? Su Jiu'er died and it was retribution, but Xia Jingxiang's retribution had to be borne by you and your brother. ”
The Temur teacup was already pinched tightly, and he was about to make a move, but when he saw Xia Chuxin raise his hand, a horizontal slash hit Yan Yu's front door, and Yan Yuzheng was in pain and let go of his hand.
"No matter what old grudge you have with my father, it is not a reason for you to turn your back on Da Chu, Yan Yuzheng, if you are too late to rein in the precipice in time, the princess can still forgive you for your innocence."
"Hahaha. Princess? Yan Yuzheng seemed to have heard something funny, turned his eyes to look at Su Huaiyu, and said, "If Lao Tzu accepts this princess, will he not only be innocent but also meritorious?" ”
"You're presumptuous." Xia Chuxin didn't expect that this Yan Yuzheng was still an obscene embryo, and scolded him.
Su Huaiyu heard this, and even more closely behind Xia Chuchu, not daring to make a sound. Xia Chuxin raised his hand to protect her, turned his head to Yi Zhi and said, "I didn't expect Prince Yi Zhi to even be able to share his wife with others, you Wusu are really civilized." ”
Xia Chuxin was about to reply, when he suddenly heard a shout from upstairs: "You let me go, this king wants your head, Yan Yuzheng, you give this king out." ”
After a while, I saw two guards escorting Su Zhao downstairs, and behind him was Xia Duo, who was escorted by the other two guards.
Yi Zhi glanced up and sneered, picked up a cup of tea, tasted it, and said, "Miss Xia Er, this princess and prince originally begged for General Yan, what does it have to do with me?" ”
Su Zhao didn't know why, and shouted: "Prince Yizhi, Prince Yizhi, what are you doing here?" I'm the Prince's man. ”
Xia Chuxin scolded, "Idiot." Su Zhao was not convinced, and asked, "Xia family girl, who are you scolding?" ”
Xia Chuxin ignored it, looked at Yi Zhi, and said, "It seems that we have all fallen victim to your gamble, but I am curious, is it necessary to be an enemy of Da Chu for the sake of being strict and upright?" ”
Yi Zhi chuckled and didn't reply, but Zhuo Yi on the side said with a smug face: "Hmph." Does anyone know? Someone has to report the news to this east window before the incident can happen. Is it your Xia Chuxin or that stupid prince? ”
Su Zhao couldn't react, he was the king of Chu State, the princess's envoy, what is the situation now? "What the hell are you trying to do? Aren't you afraid that I will go back and tell His Majesty the Emperor? ”
Zhuo Yi ignored him and continued: "Or is it this sick princess? If you want me to say, you don't have any hope, because my brother has prepared a place for you to go, and there are places to go, but none of them lead to Dachu. Xia Chuxin, do you want to know where you are? ”
Zhuo Yi's face was full of provocation, Xia Chuxin knew that she was not right with herself, or that she would be doomed if she fell into her hands, but the most important thing now was Huaiyu, who was completely ill-intentioned when she heard Yan Yuzheng's words just now.
"I never need others to arrange for me to come and go at the beginning of the summer, and you are really not afraid of anything if you marry the princess to Wusu with great fanfare?" Xia Chuxin couldn't guess the reason why they were so rampant.
Zhuo Yi smiled frivolously, and said after a while: "Oh, Princess Da Chu, how many people have seen it?" Anyone can be a princess out of Chu City, General Yan wants to be a concubine, so we gave him a favor, my brother can't look down on you delicate princess. As for your Xia Chuxin, I originally wanted you to die, but my brother saw that you were a little clever, so I wanted you to be my slave for life, and your brother was also sent to the door for nothing, so we can only let your princess's mansion hold two funerals together. ”
Just as he was about to refute, Su Huaiyu behind him was suddenly pulled away, Xia Chuxin turned around to be strict, and Huaiyu had been pulled aside by him. Without hesitation, he raised his foot and gave Yan Yuzheng a blow to the chest, but he blocked it, so he heard him say: "Hmph, do you really think that you can break ground on Lao Tzu's head twice or three times with a little three-legged cat kung fu?" At the beginning, Princess Ding'an's concubine was not completed, but now this Huaiyu Princess's concubine Lao Tzu is decided. ”
Only then did Su Zhao understand the cause and effect, and shouted: "You guys are reversed, ah, they are reversed." Are you really going to do the opposite? Yi Zhi, you actually turned your back on His Royal Highness the Prince, aren't you afraid that my Great Chu will destroy your small country? ”
Zhuo Yi gave Su Zhao a mouthful with his backhand, and said with disgust: "Oh yes, and you, this stupid prince, there is only one way out for you, and that is death." If you die, the prince won't know that we are opposed, don't you say? ”
"You dare, this king is the county king of the Great Chu Kingdom, how can you kill it casually. This king brought hundreds of personal soldiers to escort them, and they came and came. Su Zhao remembered the personal guards he had placed in the family sending team, and hurriedly shouted out.
"Hahaha. Your personal guards, now that they have gone to the Netherworld to open the way for you, they are waiting for you. Zhuo Yi said.
