Chapter 19: The Humiliation of Lady Ya
After this meeting, the three of them talked about some things, Zhao Ya talked about some customs and customs of Zhao Kingdom, and Liu Yun told the two daughters about some strange things they had experienced in their previous lives, and they listened to the two daughters with relish. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info: This meal also took more than an hour to end.
It is inevitable that the people of Wujiabao are worried, although they are reluctant, Liu Yun still said goodbye to the two daughters, which is also his deliberate arrangement, after all, knowing that there is no result, he will not waste his efforts.
After Liu Yun left, Zhao Ya smiled and said, "Qian'er, what do you think of Liu Yun?" ”
"Brother Liu is very good, he is humorous and knowledgeable, and he is much more interesting than some princes and grandsons." Zhao Qian praised sincerely.
"Not only that, but he is also a true gentleman with strong martial arts, so my aunt invited you over overnight to meet him. Don't let down your aunt's kindness. Zhao Ya said with other meanings.
"Auntie, what are you talking about, Qian'er, I don't understand." Zhao Qian said that she didn't understand, but in fact, her pretty face was already red like a ripe apple.
"If you don't understand, forget it, my aunt doesn't have time to explain it to you." Zhao Ya said with a meaningful smile.
Liu Yun naturally didn't know the words of their aunt and nephew, and when Liu Yun returned to Wujiabao, Wu Yingyuan, the owner of Wujiabao, was overjoyed and came to the door to greet him in person. After all, he didn't return all night last night, but he frightened everyone in Wujiabao. Because, the palace has confirmed the news of the theft of He's bi, but King Zhao blocked the news, although he caught some live mouths, but the news was not revealed at all.
Wu Yingyuan was afraid that King Zhao would find out that there was Liu Yun in the crowd, after all, these days, Liu Yun and Wujiabao have been very close, if Liu Yun is captured alive, it will be Wujiabao who will bear the brunt.
Therefore, Wu Yingyuan mobilized all the people in Wujiabao, including Tao Fang and Wu Tingfang, to go out to search for Liu Yun's whereabouts, and inquire about the news of the palace. Now seeing Liu Yun return safely, he is finally relieved.
"Castle Master, is there really no news coming out of the palace?" After Liu Yun simply made a salute, he listened to Wu Yingyuan's story, and then asked suspiciously.
"Well, I only know that He's Bi was stolen, and no news has come out, since last night, the palace gate has been closed, and this morning the court also discussed this matter, but His Majesty King Zhao's tone is very strict, and he is secretive about this time, and he doesn't say a word." Wu Yingyuan said worriedly.
"After I killed Chang Yu, I only cared about fleeing for my life, and before I had time to take He's Bi, I broke out of the encirclement. It stands to reason that He's Bi should have stayed in the palace. Liu Yun said the rhetoric that he had thought of a long time ago, and as for how they analyzed it, it had nothing to do with him.
"According to what the brother said, there is only one possibility, and that is that the king lied." Wu Yingyuan said suddenly.
"Oh? The king is also going to lie? Liu Yun asked.
It is likely that He's Bi was not lost, but he was afraid that He's Bi would make waves again, so he announced to the public that He's Bi was lost. Another reason is that he found Chang Yu's body, and it is naturally not difficult to guess that this incident was committed by the Julu Marquis Mansion, so he kept this incident secretive and no longer pursued it. Wu Yingyuan said seemingly reasonably.
This is the end of the Heshi Bi incident, although Wujiabao did not get the Heshi Bi, as long as the Julu Hou Mansion did not succeed in stealing the jade bi, they could be regarded as having completed the task.
Julu Houfu, inside the palatial hall.
With a crisp thud, the expensive glass jade cup was shattered to pieces, and the tribute-paying Persian wine inside was also sprinkled all over the ground, bright red like human blood.
"Waste, it's all a bunch of waste, so many people, each claiming to be a master, can't even do this thing, believe it or not, I killed you."
The usually gentle giant deer has a hideous face at this moment, like a devil who chooses people to devour.
There were more than a dozen black-clothed people kneeling in the hall, they were either bloodstained all over their bodies, or they lacked hands and broken legs, and there were almost no whole body protections, all of them kneeling in the hall trembling all over their bodies.
Although these people were all crying for mercy, they still couldn't calm the anger of the giant deer Hou.
"Now He Shibi is missing, and he doesn't even know whether Chang Yu is alive or dead, you say, what should I do with you and others."
"Hou Ye rest assured, according to the report of the spies in the palace, Chang Yu is dead, and he has no chance to betray Hou Ye." One of the men in black who looked like a leader said.
"Hmph, do you think I'm afraid that Chang Yu will betray me, even if he confesses that it is me, the emperor will not dare to do anything to me. I'm just thinking about who is so bold, in Zhao Kingdom, he actually dares to go against me Zhao Mu. ”
"Among the assassins on the other side tonight, there is a master of extremely powerful martial arts, his swordsmanship is so powerful that even Chang Yu can't deal with it, according to the spies, it was that person who killed Chang Yu." The man in black continued.
"Do you already know who he is, who he is?" Zhao Mu showed murderous intentions.
Now that the Zhao State is peaceful, coupled with his monstrous power, there are many people who have offended, and Wujiabao has not publicly provoked him, and now he can't guess who dares to go against him.
"Now that Handan City is weak, someone can beat Chang Yu, this person must only be a newcomer to Zhao State, and a few days ago he killed the swordsman of Lian Jin under Hou Ye, Liu Yun."
"Well, it's him!" Zhao Mu remembered it.
It's not that he forgot Liu Yun, just because he had already sent Mrs. Ya to seduce the other party, and this beauty trick has been tried and tested, and according to the spies, Mrs. Ya has succeeded, and Liu Yun also stayed there that night, so Zhao Mu subconsciously regarded Liu Yun as his own, so he didn't suspect the other party.
Now listening to his subordinates, combined with the recent behavior of Wujiabao and the relationship between Liu Yun and Wujiabao, he has basically determined that Liu Yun and Wujiabao are undoubted.
"Hmph, this toast doesn't eat and punish wine, and Wujiabao, you dare to go against me, Lao Tzu wants you to look good." Zhao Mu slapped the table and got up angrily.
"Prepare the carriage and go to the Lady Ya's mansion." Zhao Mu's face was hideous.
The Horse Mansion is very close to the Julu Hou Mansion, and it will be there in a few moments.
When Mrs. Ya heard that Juluhou was arriving late at night, her face immediately became ugly, but she still hurriedly greeted her with a smile.
"Why did the Hou Ye come late at night and didn't inform the concubines, so I could go out to greet him." Although Mrs. Ya is a princess, she does not dare to call herself a princess in front of the other party.
There was a crisp snap, accompanied by a scream from Mrs. Ya, and she fell to the ground.
"Why is Master Hou angry?" Mrs. Ya asked miserably.
"Slut, you dare to ask me if you eat inside and out." Julu Hou asked sharply.
"Master Hou, the concubine really doesn't know what you are referring to, please tell the concubine what she did wrong." Lady Ya wept.
Facing the poor Mrs. Ya, Zhao Mu didn't have any pity, and directly pulled her hair, with so much force that even the whole person was pulled up from the ground.
"Slut, I asked you to seduce Liu Yun and make him submit to me, you have obviously let him stay overnight, why did this person go back on his word and do my good thing."
In the face of Zhao Mu's scolding, Mrs. Ya's face turned pale, she didn't expect to be discovered by Zhao Mu so soon.
"Master Hou, Liu Yun did stay overnight that night, but the concubine tried his best, he didn't touch me from beginning to end, and the concubine had nothing to do." Mrs. Ya didn't say anything about Liu Yun's treatment, let alone her appreciation of Liu Yun, on the one hand, if she said it, she was afraid that it would anger Zhao Mu, but on the other hand, there was also an unspeakable selfishness.
"What you said is true, so why didn't you report it to me earlier?" Zhao Mu said coldly.
"The concubine is true, if there is a lie, the prince should be punished."
"Hmph, even you can't seduce him, can't this guy like men?" Zhao Mu asked.
"This person behaves resolutely, not like a man who is different, I'm afraid the other party dislikes me." Zhao Ya inadvertently revealed her appreciation for Liu Yun.
"Hmph, you don't like this guy?" Zhao Mu's face was smiling, but his tone was as cold as snow.
"No, the concubine doesn't dare." Mrs. Ya hurriedly waved her hand and said.
"Slut, I think you should be very daring, since you can't even seduce men, then I'll teach you how to please men."
Zhao Mu grabbed Mrs. Ya's hair, raised his hand and slapped her again, and tore off the clothes on her body, revealing an obscene and fierce gaze.
That night, there were terrible screams in Mrs. Ya's house, and although the maids and servants in the house heard these voices, they did not dare to make a sound.
Although the palace of King Zhao is not as good as the Qing Dynasty in later generations, it is far from being comparable to the mansion of ordinary officials.
Since the lord of Wujiabao led the way, Liu Yun only had to follow behind, but even so, he still encountered two sentry posts, both of which were to check whether they were carrying weapons.
"Brother Liu Yun, you are waiting now, I will go to report to the king first." When Liu Yun came to the door of a large hall guarded by two soldiers with halberds, Wu Yingyuan turned around and said a word to him, and then turned around and entered the hall.
When Liu Yun was bored, he suddenly saw more than a dozen people dressed as officials walking around a person with a gorgeous crown, and when he got closer, it was actually Zhao Mu, a giant deer.
Originally, Liu Yun was still wondering whether to say hello to this person, after all, the other party generously arranged a beauty trick for him, and it was not good to put on a stinky face.
"Who are you who dare to trespass on the palace?" Unexpectedly, after Zhao Mu came to Liu Yun a few meters away, he suddenly shouted, looking extremely serious.
Trespassing on the palace?
Liu Yun was a little confused.
Looking at this Zhao Mu like I don't know you, he really didn't react.
"Someone, I see that this person is a thief, there is no doubt that he is an assassin, and he beheaded this person." Before Liu Yun could speak, Zhao Mu shouted.
Originally, there were more than ten guards with halberds at the entrance of the main hall, and when they heard Zhao Mu's words, they really started to surround Liu Yun together.
"Your sister's assassin." Liu Yun was a little depressed, he didn't expect this guy to turn his face faster than turning a book, and the officials around him had drunk with Liu Yun two days ago, so he didn't believe that the other party didn't know him.
And from the surprised eyes of some officials, Liu Yun could see that they didn't know Zhao Mu's motives very well. However, Liu Yun thought about it and already understood that this guy probably already knew that he had killed Chang Yu, and he just wanted to take revenge at the moment.
Yesterday, Zhao Mu was ruined and had a killing effect on Liu Yun, of course, he just happened to pass by and saw Liu Yun when he came here. Originally, he was still very jealous of Liu Yun's martial arts, but at this moment in the palace, Liu Yun had already surrendered his weapon, isn't it a good time to get rid of him.
And the guards on duty at the moment are basically the people he bought, and getting rid of Liu Yun here can be said to leave no trouble. Therefore, Zhao Mu temporarily made up his mind and gave an order.
With these guys, can you kill me?
Liu Yun glanced at these guards lightly, he had already started to kill, as long as he wanted, he could kill all the people here in a few moments, at most, it would be a little trouble to get out of the palace, and it would be a big deal to take hostages and leave.
However, in this way, it is a bit troublesome to go to Wei State to get Lu Gong's secret record, after all, after taking hostages, he will face Zhao State's want, as well as a large-scale pursuit, although his martial arts are powerful, but it is not comparable to the army.
"Wait." Just when Liu Yun was thinking about whether to make a move, a coquettish voice remembered.
Liu Yun turned his head and saw a bright and familiar face.
"See the princess."
In the face of the princess, even the current Zhao Mu had to salute as usual, after all, this is the palace, and Zhao Qian is the most favored princess of King Zhao, so Zhao Mu still has to give some face in person.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, this person's whereabouts are strange, I suspect that he is an assassin and is about to take it down." Zhao Mu tried to quibble.
"This person's name is Liu Yun, and he is a strong man invited by my father, how could it be at this moment, I think you misunderstood later." Zhao Qian explained softly.
"Oh, Liu Yun, it's really Liu Yun's strong man, hey, look at me so confused, I almost didn't recognize you as Liu Yun strong man, I was offended just now." Zhao Mu suddenly laughed, as if he had just recognized Liu Yun.
Of course, he is not afraid of the princess, just because this is the gate of the main hall, since the princess has spoken out, he has no reason to kill Liu Yun, after all, only half of the more than ten guards here are his people, and the other half is not. And the princess came forward, I believe that the situation will be known soon, and Liu Yun's life can be regarded as saved.
Zhao Mupi said two words without smiling, and then led the group into the main hall, as if what had happened just now had not happened. In front of a small person like Liu Yun, he doesn't need to act.
Of course, Liu Yun also pretended that nothing had happened, but he had secretly decided that Zhao Mu would definitely clean up if he had a chance, and it would be regarded as eliminating harm for the people.
"Thank you so much, Your Highness Princess." Liu Yun arched his hand and said with a smile. For the poor beauty in front of him, he is still a little distressed, since ancient times, it is estimated that it will not be long before King Zhao will announce that the princess Zhao Qian will go to Wei to make peace, fortunately, now that the plot has changed, Xiang Shaolong has not appeared, and Zhao Qian will not die.
It's just that Zhao Qian married Wei Guoxin Lingjun, a hypocrite, and it is estimated that she will not be happy. Liu Yun really wanted to help her, but suddenly found that he didn't have much to do, he was born in the emperor's family, wealth was at his fingertips, but what he lost was a lifetime of freedom, which may also be a different kind of sadness.
"Brother Liu doesn't have to be polite, I still have to wait for you to take me to other places to see." Zhao Qian had a good-looking smile on her face, like the sunshine in winter.
"You look so good when you smile, you really look like Snow White." Liu Yun was sincerely amazed.
"Snow White?" Zhao Qian was puzzled.
"Snow White is a story from another country, there is a beautiful princess in the palace, but he has an evil witch queen, because the queen is a witch, she can pass through all the things in the world through the magic mirror, and she is still very stinky, she always thinks that she is the most beautiful, until one day, Snow White grows up." Anyway, it was boring, so Liu Yun told the story of Snow White to Zhao Qian.
Originally, Zhao Qian was a princess, and she stayed in the deep palace all the year round, her heart was very simple, and her mind was almost no different from that of a child, and she naturally had a strong sense of substitution for Snow White's fairy tales.
"Brother Liu, why is the empress so bad, Qian'er has grown so big, and she has never seen such a bad person? Why did she hurt Snow White? ”
"Qian'er, there are too many people in the world, not everyone is a good person like Brother Liu, you must keep an eye on what you do in the future, otherwise you won't know if you are deceived." Liu Yun cheekily put gold on his face.
"Well, I know, Brother Liu, fortunately, Snow White had seven dwarfs to save her, and finally met her beloved prince, this ending is not bad, Snow White finally found her own happiness, she is really lucky, I just don't know if Qian'er can find her happiness in the end." Zhao Qian said that the last pair of eyes were red, which made people unconsciously feel a feeling of pity.
"Qian'er, you are kind-hearted, you look better than Snow White, and you will definitely be happier than Snow White in the future." Liu Yun said with a smile.
Although she knew that this was a word of relief, Zhao Qian still smiled very happily, somehow, with this big brother who had only met twice, she unconsciously had a sense of trust, and with him, there was always a sense of freshness, his speech and demeanor were incompatible with many people in this era, although sometimes it seemed a little unruly, but it was very pleasant to get along, much more interesting than those rigid and stereotypical readers, and much more elegant than those rough people who could only do martial arts, all in all, in Zhao Qian's opinion, Liu Yun is an outlier, a unique outlier.
The two were talking, time passed imperceptibly, and finally a eunuch came out of the main hall and summoned Liu Yun into the hall.
The main hall is very vast, enough to be as big as a football field, more than a dozen of two people hug the huge pillars to defend the main hall, the decoration on both sides is resplendent and brilliant, very imposing. On both sides of the center of the main hall stood more than a dozen civil and military officials, Julu Hou Zhao Mu stood first on the left hand side, and Wu Yingyuan stood on the first side on the right hand side, which showed the status of the two of them beside King Zhao. And at the end of the main hall, on the top of the staircase, there was a golden dragon chair more than two meters wide, on which King Zhao sit.
In such a high situation, even if anyone stands on it, it will give people a sense of oppression, which is the authority of the emperor. However, Liu Yun will not be afraid of him, after all, as a traverser and a person in a high position, he will naturally not be afraid of an emperor like him. What's more, after Liu Yun looked carefully, he found that this King Zhao had a debilitating aura on his body, his face was also quite pale, and he looked sick, no wonder he was pressed by the giant deer, such an emperor looked like he was hollowed out by wine, where is there still a little bit of majesty.
"See King Zhao." Liu Yun bowed, but did not kneel.
"Bold boy, I saw that the king did not bow down." Zhao Mu finally found Liu Yun's handle and immediately scolded loudly.
"I am not from Zhao, and in my hometown, there is no worship ceremony, and my hometown only worships the dead. Your Majesty Xiong Jian is mighty, but there is no lesion, I don't want to fold Your Majesty's longevity, do you want Your Majesty to reduce your longevity. Liu Yun said with a smile.
"Bold boy, gibberish." Zhao Mu didn't expect Liu Yun to be so sharp-toothed, and he was angry and ashamed.
"Okay, Julu Hou doesn't need to say much, the vulgar rites will be exempted, the widow heard that Liu Yun is from another country, and he is a powerful warrior, this king is thirsty for talent, as for the vulgar rites, it is naturally exempt in person, and the widow allows Liu Yun to go to the palace without kneeling and bowing in the future." King Zhao is quite good at being a man.
Think about it, the current King Zhao is basically suppressed by Julu Hou, most of the court and the central government are his henchmen, except for a few forces such as Wujiabao, almost all of them are Zhao Mu's people, and it is normal for King Zhao, as a generation of kings, to know a little bit of power and scheming. In order to balance Zhao Mu's forces, it is natural to vigorously support another force to compete with him, and the people of Wujiabao are naturally the first choice.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is wise and martial, not as petty as someone." Liu Yun deliberately squinted and glanced at Zhao Mu defiantly.
When he saw this, he naturally made Zhao Mu's nose crooked, and the ministers in the court, especially those who were close to Zhao Mu, secretly admired Liu Yun's courage, and dared to provoke the authority of Julu Hou in person, it was simply death.
What they don't know is that Liu Yun deliberately did this, in fact, he has another deep meaning, Julu Hou is cunning, anyway, he has already offended him, the other party will definitely not let him go, and now he is openly tearing his face, Zhao Mu will not attack Liu Yun in a short time, otherwise as long as Liu Yun dies, everyone will know that he did it, not that he is afraid that King Zhao will blame, but he doesn't want to give the world a feeling that he is a little family.
People in this era attach great importance to reputation, such as the four sons of the Warring States Period, their reputations outside are all thirsty for talent, corporal Lixian, the reputation is good, talents will naturally gather towards them, and if the reputation is stinky, no one is willing to serve you.
Zhao Mu is an ambitious person, and he naturally wants to be like the fourth prince.
"Haha, Liu Yun is really unique, informal, this king wants to seal you an official position, I don't know if you want to?" King Zhao said with a smile.
After all, the identity of Chang Yu, who died in the palace the day before yesterday, is easy to find out, as long as he is not stupid, he can guess that this is done by Julu Hou, King Zhao is naturally very dissatisfied with Julu Hou's approach, although he is angry in his heart, but he doesn't have much to do, and political things can only be slowly figured out, which is why there is a drama of raising Wujiabao and suppressing Julu Hou.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your appreciation, I am naturally willing." Of course, Liu Yun is happy to accept it, and it is naturally better to have an official position.
Julu Hou naturally could see King Zhao's approach, although he was dissatisfied, he could only have a black face to express the unhappiness in his heart.
"Okay, the palace has not been peaceful recently, the day before yesterday, the deputy commander of the guards of the outer palace of the king of the world, because of the assassin infiltration, should be martyred, this position is also missing, because the outer palace is the throat of the palace of Zhao, the responsibility is heavy, and I have not been able to find a suitable candidate, and now I see Liu Yun warrior, this king feels that you can just be competent. Now this king has appointed you as the deputy commander of the outer palace guards, what do you think? King Zhao said with a smile.
Of course, when King Zhao said this, it was naturally a bit of a cow across the mountain, obviously for Zhao Mu.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, I will do my best to protect the safety of the palace." Liu Yun replied with a smile.
After Liu Yun received the official position, he did not go out, and King Zhao and the ministers discussed other national affairs. For example, famine, corruption, etc., also let Liu Yun see how national affairs are discussed in the real sense, although most of them can't understand, but at least he didn't doze off.
"Recently, Wei has had soldiers harassing our borders from time to time, and the Yan State next to it has been eyeing our country's territory recently, and it seems that there is a plan to capture our territory with Wei. Zhao Mu, who had not spoken, suddenly took two steps forward and said with a sad look.
"Well, the widow has indeed heard a lot of news about the invasion of the Wei State and the evil intentions of the Yan State recently, what do you think about this matter?" King Zhao frowned and said, if anything is related to territorial issues, the monarch is naturally the most concerned.
"Weichen thinks that Yan and us are feuding, and it is a matter of time before we invade our country, and Wei has been friendly with our country for many years, and it has been provocative by Yan recently to have greed, and it is imperative that we first ease the relationship with Wei, stabilize Wei first, and then prepare soldiers, horses, grain and grass, and try to fight with Yan, in that case, we will have a chance of winning." Zhao Mu pretended to be loyal and said.
"What the Qing family said is very true, according to the words of the Qing family, what should we do?" King Zhao also nodded approvingly.
"Your Majesty, I think the best way to stabilize the relationship between the two countries now is to find a breakthrough, and the person who can speak now in the Wei State is naturally the famous Xinling Jun. As long as we can convince Xinling Jun, then King Wei is not afraid. ”
"What the Qing family said makes sense, so in your opinion, how to convince Xinlingjun?" King Zhao nodded again and asked.
"Xinlingjun is a smart person, and he is not short of money, and the minister thinks that the best way now is to lure him with beauty." Zhao Mu said with a loyal appearance.
"Indeed, the reputation of Xinling Jun has also been heard, it is said that this person has three thousand guests, and his stealing talisman to save Zhao is a sensation in all countries, after this incident, this person's prestige in Wei has overshadowed the King of Wei, and now the domestic political situation is basically presided over by him, and the King of Wei has become a drunken man, without any majesty at all. And Xinling Jun is a righteous and squandering money, and he doesn't look at money at all, but his reputation for being beautiful is also as widely spread as his reputation, and the Qing family's strategy is indeed feasible, but in your opinion, where should I go to search for beautiful women? ”
"Unless the ordinary beauty is like Xi Shi, it is difficult for Xinlingjun to look at it, and if the identity is not noble, I am afraid that Xinlingjun will be tired of playing for a few days at most, so we can't use ordinary women to bribe him, but at least we should use a princess. And the identities of the princess and Xinlingjun are also quite compatible, if this princess is favored, it will also be very helpful to the future national plan. Zhao Mu continued to bewitch.
"What the Qing family said is very true, but there are only a few princesses in this king, and their appearance is not very outstanding, and their intelligence is average, how can this be good." For his daughter, King Zhao still has a little self-knowledge.
"Your Majesty, have you forgotten that you also have a princess Qian'er, she is like a fish and a goose, and she is shy of flowers in the closed moon, and she can definitely take on the important task this time." Zhao Mu finally said his words, his words were actually mentioned in passing, who told Zhao Qian to ruin his good deeds just now, his words were obviously revenge.
"Qian'er, she's only thirteen years old, isn't she a little younger?" King Zhao is still a little human, the reason why he didn't think about Zhao Qian just now is because her age is too young.
"It's not small, Your Majesty, in the folk, at the age of thirteen, you can already get married and start a family, have children, this age is just right, not to mention Princess Qian'er is smart and clever, wisdom in the heart, it is the best choice for this trip, if he goes to Wei, nine times out of ten he can get the favor of Xinlingjun, and I don't know how much help we Zhao will help in the future, and Your Majesty has always been favored by Princess Qian'er, and although Xinlingjun is not the king of Wei, he is better than the king of Wei, and her reputation among the princes is unparalleled for a while, presumably she is also very satisfied with this marriage." Zhao Mu is really eloquent, in his mouth, Xinling Jun, who is half a hundred years old, has really become a fast son-in-law who rides the dragon.
"Okay, the widow agrees to this family business." King Zhao pondered for a moment, and then agreed to this idea, for a king, the country's major affairs are above all else, as long as he can keep the royal power, except for his own life, anything can be sacrificed.
Although Wu Yingyuan sounded a little suspicious on the side, he couldn't find any mistakes, so he naturally wouldn't speak easily.
Of course, the only person who could understand Zhao Mu's plan was Liu Yun.
Zhao Mu's series of words sounded reasonable, and naturally he couldn't find the slightest fault, but Liu Yun, who knew that he was a spy of the Wei State, naturally knew the key point. First of all, this matter itself is a conspiracy, if Zhao sent a team of relatives, nothing else, Zhao Mu will send someone to intercept and kill halfway, in order to provoke a war between Wei and Zhao, in fact, Xinlingjun's status in Wei is not as high as rumored, and Wei Wang himself is not as incompetent as rumored, at this stage, it is the moment when King Wei and Xinlingjun are at war, on the one hand, King Wei wants to take the opportunity to take back Xinlingjun's military power, and Xinlingjun himself wants to seize the rights of King Wei.
And the reason why Zhao Mu went so hard to penetrate this marriage was to provoke a war between the two countries in order to help Xinling Jun seize the military power of Wei.
As long as all the marriage teams are killed in the territory of Wei, it will definitely anger Zhao and trigger a war between the two countries, and together with the war, Xinling Jun's strategy can succeed.
"There is still a hidden marriage envoy left in this marriage, Weichen wants to recommend General Zhao Yuan, General Zhao Yuan is both wise and brave, a few days ago he accompanied the army to fight against Yan Guoguo, and he is definitely qualified for this task." Zhao Mu proposed again, of course, the general Zhao Yuan in his words was of course his subordinate, if he sent his subordinates over this time, it would naturally be easy to complete this task.
"Your Majesty, Weichen feels that General Zhao Yuan has indeed made great achievements, and it is his strength to arrange troops, but this time he goes to Wei State, it is almost impossible to encounter a real big battle, just ensure the safety of the princess, and it is more suitable to need a warrior with excellent martial arts to serve as a hidden marriage envoy, so the minister recommended Liu Yun to be the commander of the guard." Although Wu Yingyuan didn't see Zhao Mu's plan, of course, he also had to try to favor his own people for such things as personnel arrangements, not to mention that this kind of thing, according to common sense, is generally safe and risk-free, and it is profitable, which is equivalent to indirectly selling Liu Yun's favor.
"Lord Wubao, with all due respect, Liu Yun is just a martial artist, he doesn't know anything about leading troops to fight, let him go, it's really a bit abrupt, although most of this trip is nothing, but everything is not afraid of ten thousand just in case, in case of any organized bandits or stragglers of any country, in order to ensure the foolproof of the princess, I think it is better to let General Zhao Yuan take the role." Zhao Mu retorted directly.
Of course, King Zhao is not stupid, at this stage, Wu Yingyuan is already his confidant, and his mind is naturally biased towards him. It's just that the safety of this princess can't be like child's play, after thinking for a while, King Zhao said: "Since this is the case, then this is the marriage of General Zhao Yuan, and the deputy marriage is led by Liu Yun, I don't know what the two Qing families want?" ”
"But it's up to the king to decide!"
"Let the king decide!"
Zhao Mu and Wu Yingyuan said almost in unison.
In fact, as soon as King Zhao's words came out, this matter was naturally finalized, anyway, the overall situation has been decided, and Zhao Mu will not have too many arguments with Wu Yingyuan on such a trivial matter, and even if King Zhao is set up again, it has not reached the point where Zhao Mu dares to completely ignore it, so this matter has been decided in this way.
"Yes." Of course, Liu Yun has no opinion on this matter, because his task is to go to the Xinling Jun's Mansion to steal the secret record of Duke Lu, and for Princess Zhao Qian, he also wants to protect it by the way, so it is worth the trip.
The king made a promise, the marriage was decided, whether happy or sad, naturally no one could change, the marriage of the Tang and Tang princesses, the etiquette was naturally indispensable, first of all, the king of Zhao sent a messenger to Wei to report, because of the political situation, the unknown King of Wei was naturally very happy to be friendly, and Xinlingjun, a potential beneficiary, was naturally even happier, so Wei quickly agreed to make peace and arranged a team to come to greet him. It is expected that in a month's time, the welcoming party will arrive in the capital city of Handan. And King Zhao also sent people to intensify the preparation of gifts, and sent people to inform and put the reluctant Princess Zhao Qian under house arrest.
Three days later, Mrs. Ya's House.
Because of the hidden marriage envoy, King Zhao specially gave Liu Yun a holiday, and gave him a hundred taels of gold, a hundred horses of silk, and ten servants, and gave him a fairly good house outside the palace. Liu Yun got an official position and didn't need to take office, so he was naturally happy. Anyway, it's very boring, I want to visit Mrs. Ya two days ago, not to say that I want to do anything unseemly, I just want to talk to the beautiful woman who has lost her footing, chat, but even for two days, Mrs. Ya is closed to thank customers, saying that she can't get sick. In this way, Liu Yun naturally felt puzzled, and on the third day, Liu Yun no longer waited for the people inside to report, and jumped directly from outside the side wall.
As soon as he entered the mansion, Liu Yun felt a little strange, Mrs. Ya's mansion was no more lively than the last time when the servants were like clouds, this time, it seemed much more deserted, Liu Yun swaggered through the verandah, and he didn't meet anyone. The empty house gives people a cold and lonely feeling.
Finally, when they approached Madame Ya's residence, they heard the conversation between the two maids.
"Hey, Madame hasn't eaten for two days in a row, and she hasn't even drunk a sip of water, and if it goes on like this, something will happen sooner or later."
"That's not it, if it weren't for the Hou Ye who scratched Madame's face, how could Madame be like this, the original face of the country and the city became like that, I'm afraid anyone would have to be the same as Madame. If it were me, maybe I would kill myself, but Madame was strong enough. ”
"This Hou Ye is really poisonous, Madame has done so many things for him, why did he shave Madame's face, it's really too much."
"Shhhh
"I'm just sorry for my wife."
The two maids hurried by, completely ignoring Liu Yun in the flower creeping, hearing these contents, Liu Yun's hands clenched unconsciously, and his face was full of anger.
The front is the place where Mrs. Ya entertained Liu Yun last time, and it was completely different from last time, the room was full of desertion inside and out, and there was no one, even in broad daylight, the door was closed, and even all the windows were tightly closed. He couldn't hear anything from the room, and Liu Yun's ears were amazing, so he could hear Mrs. Ya's haggard breathing.
After thinking about it, Liu Yun turned on the system in place.
After a quarter of an hour, Liu Yun came to Mrs. Ya's door, he stopped outside the house, and when he reached the door, Liu Yun suddenly found that he was actually a kind of timid, and did not dare to step in. Even if it is the Longtan Tiger's Den, it is rare for him to be like this.
He vaguely felt that Mrs. Ya received such treatment, most of which had something to do with him.
With a squeak, Liu Yun still pushed the door in.
"Who?" Madame Ya's voice was less gentle than before, and a little more vigilant.
"Me." Liu Yun said.
"You go out, I don't want to see anyone." There was sternness in Mrs. Ya's voice, but there was a faint hint of horror.
"I learned that Madame was sick, I came to visit you, and I brought some things, Madame will definitely like it when she sees it." Liu Yun responded lightly, trying not to let his sympathy be revealed.
