Speaking of Zuo Ying, Li Yunshen felt a little strange in his heart.

He thought that she was just a pawn at his mercy, even if it was a clever pawn, or even a pawn with a unique background, it still couldn't change her nature.

A person who has nothing to lose and no way back to retreat, the only thing left to do is to move forward all the way. She thought that she was the only one who was like this, but she must not have expected that he was in the same situation, and that he might have a better reason to do whatever it took than she did.

She said he was just her "partner" and he said he wanted to have a close relationship with her; In fact, in his mind, she is just a tool that is not even as good as a "partner" to help him achieve his goals.

In this intricate world, whoever has more valuable secrets often has more advantages. He had countless secrets in him, and she had an unobstructed view in front of him, which was enough for him to always smile in front of her. But he didn't know when his "chess piece" had begun to break his advantage of information asymmetry, and his little-known past was so quickly grasped by her, and his mind was analyzed so thoroughly, it really made him feel an unprecedented threat. In contrast, he has been standing still in her attack. Her infallible heart, he didn't seem to be able to get an inch close to him by the tried and tested means of the past.

She was obviously relying on his power to survive, but he didn't know why he was becoming more and more restrained by her.

More than half a month after leaving Luoyang, Zuo Ying's car returned to Luoyang City.

The rain was still falling. The sky was gloomy and gray, and the roads in the countryside were muddy.

Slightly rolled up the curtain of the carriage and glanced at Zuo Ying, who was in the sky, and put the curtain down again.

"Lady Yuya."

"The slave is here." Mrs. Yuya heard the summons and walked to Zuo Ying's car window. Bend down. Having lived in the desert for many years, she has become accustomed to traveling on horseback.

"Have you ever been to Luoyang before you came to Black Sand City?" Zuo Ying asked.

"Back to Your Majesty. The slave maid has never been fortunate enough to go to Luoyang and see the style of the imperial capital. Mrs. Yuya said respectfully.

"You call yourself Yuya, but it's because your hometown is in Yuya?" Zuo Ying asked curiously again.

Mrs. Yugu seemed to ponder for a moment before replying, "Back to Your Majesty, the slave's hometown is not in Yugu. The slave maid was separated from the land in Yugu, and since then it has been 20 years, and only now has the opportunity to re-set foot on the homeland. After a pause, she continued, "Your Majesty, please don't call the slave 'Lady Yuya' in the future." Slaves and maids can't afford it. Since Your Majesty has given the slave maid to the palace as a palace maid, please call the slave maid by name. ”

"It's okay," Zuo Ying said briskly: "Since you have returned to China, I will restore your Han surname, and call you Aunt He according to the rules of the palace in the future." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." After Aunt He thanked her, she continued to pat the horse and follow the jade chariot.

Inside Zuo Ying's carriage. She's not alone. On the seat with the embroidered cushion on the opposite side, Ashina sat there with angry eyebrows, listening to the conversation between Zuo Ying and "Aunt He".

Of course, the reason why his protest was confined to his mouth was entirely because his hands and feet were still chained by heavy chains, and the scarlet feather eyes opposite him with a sword in his hand were staring unblinking.

His appearance made Zuo Ying's heart feel a sense of pleasure that the prank had succeeded, if it weren't for the fact that he still needed to calmly cooperate with the next performance, she really couldn't help but want to provoke him.

At this time. Outside, a chamberlain whispered against the car window: "Your Majesty, the ministers have come to greet Your Majesty." ”

Immediately afterwards, the carriage slowed down and soon stopped on the road.

In the distance, a loud voice from an attendant came to report: "Respectfully, Your Majesty! ”

Zuo Ying walked out of the jade chariot with the support of Scarlet Feather, and under the cover of the canopy, she was surrounded by attendants and came to the ministers who had all knelt on the ground.

"Ministers greet Your Majesty and His Royal Highness. Please Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness the Emperor, all the blessings of Jin'an! The ministers shouted in unison.

The rain had already soaked everyone's clothes, and the mud on the ground had stained the original bright court clothes of these usually decent ministers. Especially when Zuo Ying saw Helan Chu kneeling at the front of the line, she really couldn't bear to let him get up so quickly.

Zuo Ying said to everyone: "Everyone, Aiqing is flat. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The ministers got up one after another under the leadership of Helan Chu.

Helan Chu took two steps forward, bowed and said: "Your Majesty has traveled far away to welcome the Turkic prince for my Great Zhou Sheji, and it is really the luck of my Great Zhou Sheji and the luck of all the people in the world. ”

The mud and rain on his body did not affect his domineering posture in the slightest, and Zuo Ying always felt that there was something wrong with the design of this black court uniform.

Zuo Ying smiled slightly, "During the days when I am not in the palace, the Taishi will take care of all the opportunities for me, and the Taishi is the one who has worked hard, and I will be rewarded." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long." At this time, Helan Chu seemed to notice the scar on his neck that Zuo Ying deliberately raised the collar, and he was smart enough to quickly associate this with the secret report he received, and the expression on his face became sarcastic, "The minister also has a reluctant request, I hope to invite His Royal Highness the Imperial Husband to meet with the hundred officials, in order to convey the sincere intentions of the hundred officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty to the friendship between the two countries." ”

Before Zuo Ying could respond, many people behind Helan Chu began to echo in unison: "I want to see His Royal Highness." ”

Do you want them to see that on the jade chariot, Ashina Wuji is still unruly with chains and shackles on his hands and feet? Unless Zuo Ying's face doesn't want it, this emperor doesn't want to be it.

"At this moment, I'm afraid there will be a lot of inconvenience, which will disappoint you Aiqing." Zuo Ying looked up at Helan Chu Dao. She hated the damn gap.

Helan Chu has never been in the habit of easily giving the other party the steps. He leaned closer, bent down and pretended to inquire and lowered his voice: "The minister was shocked to hear that there was a commotion in Chengze's palace on the wedding night. The minister had already put on armor and ordered troops to rush to the rescue, and then heard that the turmoil had subsided, and His Majesty's dragon was unharmed, so he was at ease waiting for the holy driver. The minister didn't dare to speculate, I don't know if this matter has anything to do with His Royal Highness......"

His face was as cold as before, but Zuo Ying could still hear between the lines, gloating at her for advocating a joint marriage and bringing humiliation on herself

"I am touched by the loyalty of the Grand Master." The corners of Zuo Ying's mouth curled higher, "The events of that day are indeed related to the imperial husband." And it is inconvenient for the imperial husband to meet with you Aiqing at this moment, and it is precisely because he is the 'main person' of the incident that night, and he is wearing shackles on his hands and feet at the moment. ”

Helan Chu's eyes trembled slightly, obviously a little confused by Zuo Ying's "sudden showdown", and she was not mentally prepared for her to tell the truth directly. When the ministers heard Zuo Ying say this, many people couldn't help but sigh in surprise and looked at each other.

"It's just - the rumors are wrong, it's not some 'turmoil', let Aiqing bother." Zuo Ying continued to say leisurely: "It was a big wedding ceremony that respected Turkic customs. The Turks advocated force and power, and marriages between clans mostly took the form of robbery. One party in the marriage takes back the other party, and the shackles are added, which can be untied after 7749 days, so as to show the status of husband and wife, so as to consolidate the relationship between husband and wife. This kind of etiquette is the most traditional in the desert, but this kind of behavior is inevitably barbaric and rude in the eyes of the subjects of the Great Zhou, so it may cause misunderstanding. I will let the imperial husband meet with you and the people after the date of 7749 is over. ”

After listening to Zuo Ying's words, the ministers couldn't help but be dumbfounded or whispered.

"Everyone, don't stand here in the rain anymore." Zuo Ying pretended to be considerate and said: "Our monarchs and ministers have something to say, go back to the palace and talk about it." ”

The attendant next to him immediately reported loudly: "Your Majesty has returned to the palace-"

The ministers then knelt on both sides of the road and said in unison: "The ministers respectfully ask Your Majesty to return to the palace!" ”

Zuo Ying turned around and boarded his jade chariot under the chorus of the ministers.

"Marriage robbery? Traditional etiquette? Before she could sit still, Ashina's indefinite roar had already arrived.

Sure enough, with the arrogance of his prince, he is not willing to let people see his current appearance as a prisoner, so he can only cooperate with Zuo Ying's various cover-ups in a low-key manner. The expression on his face at the moment that forcibly suppressed his anger, was unspeakable, and had grievances that was difficult to resign, made Zuo Ying very useful.

"Dog Emperor!" Ashina's eyes were on fire and said: "I, Ashina, will let you know sooner or later, what is the 'traditional etiquette' of our Turkic people to treat shameless people like you!" ”

"Imperial Husband," Zuo Ying smiled strangely, "Don't let me wait too long." ”

"You!" Ashina made a "clang" sound of the iron chains indefinitely, "If it weren't for the chains chained, I would have taken your head back now to make a wine vessel for wine!" That vicious appearance made Scarlet Feather look highly nervous, and the hilt of the sword in his hand clenched again and again.

Zuo Ying shook her head with disdain and said, "Even if I let you go, I don't know if you can get my head, but you will definitely not be able to get out of the way." ”

Ashina sneered indefinitely and said: "There are many of you, guns and arrows, I can't die, what's so terrible?!" Do you think that everyone is as greedy for life and afraid of death as you Great Zhou thieves? ”

Zuo Ying looked at Ashina thoughtlessly, nodded appreciatively, and said, "The emperor's sacrifice of life and death and his heroic spirit are really admirable. The mediocre only strive for the immediate profit and the speed in front of the body; Only a far-sighted and extraordinary person like the royal husband will pay more attention to the name behind him. Once the imperial husband assassinated me and buried him under the sword of my guards, the people of the world would say: Ashina, the Turkic prince who was invincible in the desert and won all battles, was killed by the soldiers of the Great Zhou after coming to the Great Zhou because he killed a weak woman who had no power to bind the chicken—or, in the end, he did not even kill the weak woman who had no power to bind the chicken. Alas, it's really embarrassing. ”

When Ashina listened to the first half of the paragraph, he wondered why this dog emperor suddenly used so many beautiful words to describe himself, and only after hearing it did he know that he was satirizing him!
