CHAPTER XVII
In the council hall of Xiyue Wangcheng, Mo Shining arranged for his ministers to send away the royal capital attendants who passed the decree, and looked at his beloved daughter with more and more satisfaction, and said: "Yao'er, you have also seen that Ji Yuchen, and her appearance is outstanding; Although you are only a princess when you marry at this time, when King Chen succeeds to the throne, according to the ancestral system, Yao'er will be the emperor! Now that King Chen is still in Jiayuguan, he can't get out for a while, and he can't marry in person, Yao'er doesn't feel wronged, and only thinks about the future. ”
Mo Ziyao took a step forward and bowed down and said, "Father, don't worry, A-Yao can save it." ”
After hearing this, Mo Shining was satisfied, sent everyone back, and arranged for the royal city celebrant to prepare for the wedding without mentioning it.
Back in the Pujia Palace, Mrs. Yu sat on the top, and also pulled Mo Ziyao to sit beside her, and said to her daughter with a smile: "Yao'er, the family matter is set in such a hurry, the time is a little rushed, you just need to see what else needs to be taken away, and the rest of the concubines will do it for you, and Yao'er will marry infinitely." ”
Mo Ziyao shook her head lightly and said to Mrs. Yu, "Mother, my daughter is about to talk to you about this matter. You can buy the dowry as usual, and after a few days, your daughter will have to fall ill, delaying the time to enter the royal capital. ”
"Why?" asked Mrs. Yu and Mo Ziyan in unison.
Mo Ziyao raised her hand to stroke her hair, looked at them and said, "Brother received a message from Murong Lie yesterday: Weicheng has been lost, and he will take Jiayuguan directly in the near future. At present, the battle ahead is unclear, and Murong Lie is afraid that the chances of victory are greater! Although King Chen has been awarded the title of Great Sima, the mother concubine thinks about the situation in the royal capital at this time, and she is afraid that the other four princes may not be able to obey the order safely; at present, Dongyan is not the king of Qin, and he is also waiting and seeing; so there are many obstacles before and after, and King Chen's chances of victory are not great. Ah Yao feels that at this time, we should wait and see: if King Chen wins, according to the ancestral system, he will have to marry Ah Yao in person, not to mention that we still have Emperor Jun's decree to give marriage; if Murong Lie wins, Ah Yao will still be unmarried. In this way, none of us have been offended, and the odds of winning are the greatest!"
Mrs. Yu lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then said to Mo Ziyao: "Yao'er, you are extremely thoughtful, so do it." ”
Mo Ziyan was about to say something but was interrupted by Mo Ziyao, and he was really not at ease with his brother Mo Ziyao, so he sat up straight and asked: "Brother, I know what you want to say; at this time, we really shouldn't do anything to Mo Zilan, if something happens to the prince at this time, how will the world think of us? Since the chance of victory is ours, how can we not wait for a while? Later, Brother Ah will send a message to Murong Lie, only saying that his sister really does not want to marry in the royal capital, and can only pretend to be sick and drag it out at the moment, and only wait for the victory of the prince to plan." After the words fell, he looked at Mrs. Yu and said, "The mother concubine should also be happy to buy a dowry, don't let people see the clues." ”
Mrs. Yu and Mo Ziyan responded, and several people went separately.
In the main hall, Queen Xuanyuan frowned and leaned on the big pillow, Mo Zilan was holding a medicine cup to serve her to drink medicine, and after watching her drink it, she brought tea to her to rinse her mouth. Just as he was about to say something, he heard the sound of birds chirping outside the hall, and went out to see that it was his sister's Luanniao, and after taking off the cloth and looking at it for a few times, he said to the Luanniao who was still hovering: "Go back, tell Ah Ling that I know." The bird nodded, chirping, and flew into the sky.
Walking back to the hall, Xuanyuan looked at him suspiciously, Mo Zilan sat by the window and whispered: "It's Ah Ling's Luanniao, Ah Ling won the first battle in Jiayu Pass, so I don't have to worry about her." She already knew about the marriage, and instructed us to stand still at this time, and it was inconvenient for us to do anything at this time on the east side of the palace; when the war was clear, Ah Ling sent a message that her son would go to the king's army to meet the king in person. ”
Xuanyuan was silent for a moment and said softly: "She really planned for you, and it was not in vain for you to take care of her." ”
Mo Zilan sighed softly and looked at Xuanyuan: "Mother, Ah Ling has suffered a lot from snacks, although it looks cold, but he treats me sincerely! I also sincerely pity Ah Ling, and ask my mother to let go of her knot and accept Ah Ling." ”
Xuanyuan smiled bitterly and lay down, and fell asleep, Mo Zilan walked outside the hall and looked at the sky in the direction of Jiayuguan in a daze······
In Jiayu Pass, Ji Yuchen passed Mo Ziling to the council hall and informed Zhao Shuo, the son of Dongyan, that he had been in the area of Horsehair Mountain outside Jiayu Pass, and that he had less than 10,000 guards because he was carrying grain and grass. Mo Ziling's kung fu is not weak, and he has spiritual power, so he is actually the best candidate to lead the troops. Dial 20,000 people to her, Jiang Qianhan went with her to greet her, and after receiving the order, Mo Ziling went to recruit soldiers and guards and left the city on time.
Han Fang wanted to chase after he learned about it, because he was afraid that Murong Lie would come to attack the city at any time, and the matter of the 'soul man' had to be dealt with by Han Fang, Ji Yuchen persuaded him to come down; Besides, Ah Ling's bravery, didn't Brother Han see it yesterday, and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to deal with it?"
Han Fang was thinking about things, and when he heard Ji Yuchen say this, he replied casually: "Ah Ling is still young, no matter how brave she is, she is also a ······." Shocked that something was wrong, he hurriedly stopped the three words "girl" that had reached his mouth, and his peach blossom eyes looked at Ji Yuchen slightly.
Ji Yuchen raised his eyebrows lightly, seeing that Han Fang was alert, he felt that his attitude towards Ah Ling was really worth thinking about.
Outside Jiayu Pass, Murong Lie looked at the letter silk in his hand and put it in his sleeve, and a smile appeared on his face, which gradually became a smile. Mo Ziyan was really aware of current affairs, and sent a message to inform Mo Ziyao that he was unwilling to marry to the royal capital, so he had to pretend to be sick and delay. Ah Yao is willing to give up the dignity of the future emperor and queen for him, such a woman is the person he likes, and it is really a happy life. Since A-Yao's affairs are suspended, she can attack the city with all her might, just wait to capture the royal capital, and then marry A-Yao, and it will not be in vain for her to treat her sincerity.
Just as he was thinking about it, a report came from outside the tent: "Yu Shizi, half an hour ago, Mo Ziling led 20,000 troops out of the city and went to the direction of Horsehair Mountain. ”
Murong Lie raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you know why?" A voice came from outside the tent: "It's not known yet." ”
"Go and explore again immediately, and report back as soon as there is news" Murong Lie finished pacing in the tent after instructing, leaving the city at this time, what are Ji Yuchen's plans?
After a while, another voice came from outside the tent: "Yu Shizi, Mo Ziling should have gone to answer it, and I don't know who is answering it." ”
Murong Lie frowned and thought: Go to the direction of Horsehair Mountain to answer? Dongyan Zhao Yu has already promised to stay still, at this time, no one should come in the direction of Dongyan, even if someone comes, they should not take the direction of Horsehair Mountain, isn't it better to come over the king's capital?
Suddenly thinking of Zhao Shuo, Murong Lie ordered: "Quickly send the two wizards to come, and then pass General Danmu to come!"
By the time a few people came, Murong Lie had already returned to his lazy state and was lying on the animal skin mattress. After saluting, several people stood in front of the desk, and Danmu stepped forward and asked, "What are the instructions of the prince to come here?" Even if you bow down, you can see that Danmu is tall.
Murong Lie asked, "Danmu Ke wants to avenge your brother?"
Danmu straightened up and replied loudly: "Thinking about it all the time, I can't tear that Mo Ziling apart!"
Murong Lie got up and walked up to him and said, "Okay! It's my Beiqiang boy!" This prince just got the news, that Mo Ziling led 20,000 troops to Horsehair Mountain, it should be to pick up Zhao Shuo, the son of Dongyan, if my expectations are good, Zhao Shuo must be carrying grain and grass. Give you 30,000 troops, plus 3,000 'soul people', and the two wizards will control them with you, you may kill Mo Ziling and grab the grain and grass that Zhao Shuo carried?"
Danmu immediately knelt down and thanked him: "Please rest assured, Danmu will live up to the order of the son!"
Murong Lie helped him up: "Danmu, you have followed me since you were a child, I know your ability very well, this world is waiting for your good news here!"
