Chapter 270: Branches
"By the way, I'll show you something!" Jiang Xiaoyu took Zhao Ling's hand and trotted all the way to the white horse he tamed in the afternoon, "Beautiful, I know why, I always feel that it should belong to me!" ”
"A good horse indeed, does it have a name?" Zhao Ling asked with a smile.
"Not yet!" Jiang Xiaoyu thought for a while and said with a smile, "How about stepping on snow?" ”
"If you like it, if you like it! This little thing looks very aura, I didn't bring it this time, but after I went back, it happened to be paired with Chasing Wind! Zhao Ling said with a smile.
After seeing the snow, the two went back side by side, Jiang Xiaoyu was faintly worried: "This grassland is not very peaceful, if there is Chen Guo's forces entangled, the situation will become complicated, although Da Zhou and Chen Guo signed an armistice alliance, but now Da Zhou's national strength is obviously stronger than Chen Guo, if there is a problem with the border of Da Zhou, it will be Chen Guo who will benefit, so it will be so provoking the relationship between this grassland!" It's just that now the ambition of the Qimu Grassland is undisguised, I don't know how Your Majesty will solve it? Will it be left to its own devices, or will it intervene? Now that the Qinko grassland has come to His Majesty's rescue, then it is inevitable that he will not sit idly by, is it to cooperate with Qinke to wage war against the Qimu grassland? ”
"If you can't even protect the Qinke grassland, who will dare to take refuge in Da Zhou in the future?" Zhao Ling smiled, "No matter how powerful the Qimu grassland is, it is still not enough in front of the national strength of the Great Zhou, even if there is the support of Chen Guo behind it, and the other grasslands around it are willing to let the Qimu become bigger, the first bird is shot, the more arrogant the Qimu is, the more it will become the target of the public!" The khan of the Qimu grassland is also aware of this problem, and this time he came to meet His Majesty just to stabilize himself and temporarily express his determination not to rebel against the Great Zhou, but whether he comes here or not, it is a plan that His Majesty has already set to fight him! This trip seems to be a family visit, but it is just a prelude to a bloody storm, look at it, the pattern of this grassland is also going to change! ”
"Your Majesty asked you to come over this time, but does it mean to let you lead the troops?" Jiang Xiaoyu asked worriedly, "Your Majesty wants to suppress the eldest grandson family and vigorously promote the young generals, and now the young man who has entered the eyes of His Majesty, I am afraid that it is only you, right now Your Majesty should not let the second prince lead the troops, but if you want to fight against the eldest grandson family, Your Majesty will definitely vigorously promote you!" What I'm worried about is that if you hold the military power, will you and the second prince repeat the mistakes of the Bai family and the crown prince back then? ”
Zhao Ling touched Jiang Xiaoyu's head with relief: "Don't think too much, first of all, this is not something that has been determined, secondly, the second child is not the first prince, and I am not the Bai family, what happened back then will not happen to us, don't worry!" ”
"I hope so!" Jiang Xiaoyu sighed faintly, and his eyes condensed into a murderous intent, "If one day you really perceive danger, I hope you will not be like your grandfather, I hope you can abandon those ideals and justice in your heart, and be able to take up arms to protect yourself!" ”
"I understand! I get it! Zhao Ling gently took Jiang Xiaoyu in his arms, "We still have to grow old together, how can we put ourselves in danger?" ”
"What people!" A cold cheer came.
The two raised their eyes and saw Qi Siyuan walking in their direction with a few people, although this was the court of the Qinke king, but after all, the Queen Mother and Her Majesty lived, so the old khan They also had to give in and let Emperor Zhou's guards come in to ensure the safety of the two nobles.
"Uncle Qi hasn't rested so late!" Jiang Xiaoyu hooked his lips and said lightly.
"It turned out to be the prince and the lihou!" Qi Siyuan hugged his fists and said, "Where is the self-blame, don't dare to slack off!" It's just that it's getting late, after all, this is not someone else's territory, not in the capital, for the sake of their own safety, the two of them should go back and rest early! ”
"It turns out that Uncle Qi cares so much about my safety!" Jiang Xiaoyu said mockingly, "Thank you so much Uncle Qi for your kindness!" ”
"It's my duty to keep everyone safe this time!" Qi Siyuan said lightly, "Let's go back and rest, I just heard that there is a man in black trespassing, so I'll go find out the situation!" ”
"Uncle Qi is busy with his own business, we will take care of ourselves!" Jiang Xiaoyu said lightly.
Qi Siyuan left, but Jiang Xiaoyu's face suddenly became gloomy, she looked at a guard who was following Qi Siyuan, pursed her lips and said: "That person's walking posture is very strange, and the smell on his body is also very strange, it doesn't seem to be from the Central Plains, let's follow and have a look!" ”
When Jiang Xiaoyu was about to follow, he asked Zhao Ling to hold his arm and said with a smile: "You can't keep up at this time, otherwise you won't be able to sing a good show!" ”
"What's going on?" Jiang Xiaoyu wondered.
"Why do you think Your Majesty will call Qi Siyuan's most important security duty?" Zhao Ling sneered.
Jiang Xiaoyu frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "Is it a bureau in itself?" ”
"The last thing in this world that can't be underestimated is Red Flame!" Zhao Ling's eyes narrowed slightly, "The more you know, the more you can know the horror of Red Flame!" ”
"We pretended to be the man in black today, and everyone seems to be suspicious of Qimu Grassland!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, "Will it cause unnecessary conflicts?" ”
"There have been contradictions buried deep for a long time, and there will be so-called conflicts!" Zhao Ling smiled faintly, "What Your Majesty wants is peace in this grassland, and all threats that affect his plan will be eradicated!" ”
"Your Majesty is playing a big game of chess!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, "Actually, think about it, no matter how much we struggle, it seems that we are just his pawns!" We all know that His Majesty has been enduring the eldest grandson family for the sake of the Queen Mother, in fact, I really want to know, is there really something that Your Majesty cares about? ”
"He is not a tyrant who kills people without blinking, as long as he does not threaten his plans, as long as he can bring him benefits, as long as he can safely put a pawn under his hands, he will naturally care about the life and death of this chess piece!" Zhao Ling smiled self-deprecatingly, "You're right, you and I are good, or the second child, why aren't they his tools to achieve his goals?" ”
"I believe that one day, we will also have the right to choose! I believe that one day the world will be ours! Jiang Xiaoyu raised his lips and said.
Inside the tent.
The Queen Mother chatted with the old princess for a long time, but she was bitter for a long time, and her eyes were slightly swollen at this time, and she was closing her eyes to recuperate. Zixin was pressing the Queen Mother's shoulder, it was not early, and she was dozing off gently.
"What's going on between you and the son?" The Queen Mother asked.
"Huh?" Zixin immediately came to her senses and said with a wry smile, "Isn't that what it is?" Zixin should have understood it in her heart a long time ago, but it was all Zixin's wishful thinking! ”
The Queen Mother's eyes narrowed slightly: "I heard that you ran to the prince yesterday and cried?" ”
"But others misunderstood!" Zixin said, "Zixin just hopes that the prince can help me say a few words in front of Li Hou, and tell Li Hou not to misunderstand Zixin!" ”
"What did she misunderstand about you?" The Queen Mother asked.
"It's just that a few days ago, didn't there be some rumors about Li Hou and Shizi, Li Hou thought it was Zixin who spread it, so ......" Zixin paused and said, "Zixin didn't want Zizi to misunderstand Zixin, so I went to Shizi to explain it first, but I didn't expect that Shizi only had Li Hou in his heart, and he didn't care about Zixin's words at all!" ”
After Zixin finished speaking, she quietly waited for the Queen Mother's reaction, thinking that the Queen Mother would definitely blame Jiang Xiaoyu's words, but after waiting for a while, she didn't see any reaction from the Queen Mother, she made a brief observation, thinking that the Queen Mother was asleep, and planned to cover her with a quilt and retreat, who knew that at this time the Queen Mother suddenly asked: "Then who do you think is the person who spread the rumors?" ”
"This ......" Zixin chuckled in her heart, and her eyes rolled, "This Zixin doesn't know ......"
"How much do you think the mourning family knows about things outside?" The Queen Mother continued to ask.
Zixin understood the voice of the Queen Mother's words, and immediately knelt on the ground to plead guilty: "Zixin is just confused for a while, not on purpose!" ”
"The mourning family didn't blame you, the mourning family just thought you were too stupid!" The Queen Mother closed her eyes and said lightly, "They have no evidence for this matter, you just need to rot in your stomach, and you have to go around and say it yourself, who will you dislike if you don't dislike the world?" You have to remember that women can sometimes use some means, but they have to be smarter, otherwise they will shoot themselves in the foot, but you are still young and will not understand that the son of the world is the most sexual person, and intrigue will only make him more disgusted, and if you want to get his heart, you have to be sincere! ”
Zixin wiped her tears and cried: "Why doesn't Zixin know? Zixin is a sincere love for the prince, it's a pity that the prince doesn't look at Zixin at all, let alone understand Zixin's sincerity, Zixin really has no way, I just hope that the prince can transfer the gaze of Li Hou to Zixin's body a little, even a little bit is enough! ”
"It's not productive, so it's satisfying?" The Queen Mother said coldly, "Since you have decided to get a man, you naturally want to get all of a man!" Since you can't enter the eyes of the son of the world now, then go into his life completely, so that he can't avoid you, and he must face you! Only when you walk into his eyes can you enter his heart! ”
Zixin bit her lip and asked, "Then how can I let the prince see Zixin?" ”
"The son of the world is a person who values love and righteousness, in other words, he is a responsible person, if the raw rice is cooked and cooked, he will not have a reason to shirk!" The Queen Mother said lightly, "It's just up to you whether you're willing or not!" ”
Zixin knew that the Queen Mother was going to help her, and she couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "For the sake of the son, Zixin is willing to do anything!" ”
"Good!" The Queen Mother smiled with satisfaction, "The prince is not young, it's time to spread the leaves!" ”
Zixin's face turned blushing: "Zixin will not live up to the high hopes of the Queen Mother!" ”
