Chapter 35: Back to Jinling (25)

"Seemingly, my guess is not bad. When I was a child, I saw such a pattern in my father's military book, and I thought it was unique, and my father said that this was only the orthodox heir of the Liang royal family, and it was worthy of use. This man is not too old to be his father, who does not come to bed for eight days out of ten days. Speaking of this, Xinyue's eyes were cold, and his father was not folded in the hands of the people of Liang Guo.

Li Yan saw Xinyue's eyes, immediately lowered his head, and remembered that Xinyue and Liang Guo also have a blood feud, so he completely dispelled his doubts about Xinyue, Li Yan thought, although Xinyue is a woman, but because the mother's family and husband's family are also generals, it must be a little bloody" Yes, this Liang Kingdom, especially the royal family, is very strict in the selection of heirs. Back then, Liang Ji, the former emperor of Liang State, died suddenly in battle, and his sons were left, and only this prince Liang Qi, who was not in good health and could not go into battle, would not have been able to take his turn. After Liang Qi ascended the throne, he struggled for many years to have this son Liang Wei in front of him, Prince Liang Wei was five years old, and he was picked up by the royal family of Liang State, who was responsible for training the heirs. ”

"Yes," Xinyue looked at the long-vanished raft "I heard that the selection and training of the heir of the Liang State is extremely cruel, but is so?" ”

Li Yan nodded, "Yes, the prince who can't pass the training is not sent back to the palace and his mother concubine." And most of them are a dead end, for example, the second brother of King Liang died in this kind of training, it is said that when he was carried back to the palace, he did not have a good piece of skin on his body, and the seven-foot-tall man was just over 100 catties thin. Looking at it this way, the prince of the Liang Kingdom is really also a man who broke out of the sea of corpses in the mountain of swords. After passing the final assessment, those dead soldiers who were ordered to assassinate him every day and trained with him would become the prince's guards. The assessment criteria for becoming a subordinate is very simple, that is, to give your master a knife. However, the content is simple and can be implemented, which is easier said than done. Therefore, the number of these princes is very small, but each of them can be defeated by one against hundreds. Li Yan, who said this, although his tone was resentful, this was also something that had to be convinced.

Xinyue thought for a moment, she had an idea in her heart, but she didn't know whether to say it or not, and finally considered it, "What I said, if what I said is wrong, Master Li can blame her." This Liang country is cold, and the people of Liang are cruel and ruthless, and they are ruthless. Over the years, although Prince Liang Wei has not dared to directly use troops against our Great Sage, but for the other two small countries, he also said that he would kill and fight, and the two small countries were invincible, and he was even more deterred by him, and he did not dare to contact our Great Sage. He is now so unscrupulous in the hinterland of our Great Sage, although he will not cause any big trouble, but since he dares to appear here, he must have some self-preservation, and even the power to attack. ”

"I'm afraid that their group of wild wolf lambs won't succeed, if they dare to come, their subordinates will definitely cut off his head." Crescent Moon could feel his intense hatred as she looked at his red eyes. But seeing that he had some sloping legs and feet, and the deep scar from the back of his hand, he couldn't slash and kill the prince and the prince's wings cultivated with the strength of a country, but she couldn't say this directly.

So Xinyue stretched out her hand and pointed to it, "Now we have this royal flag on our heads, which attracts his attention and hatred." Naturally, he can't touch His Majesty and our prince, but when we are defeated at night, it is more than enough to kill you and me, or burn this ship. The dowry in the back is his best cover, and we have already been robbed once. Xinyue turned around and looked at the big ship not far away, this boat was really more eye-catching than a golden ship, Xinyue felt that it was really a stupid trick to use the ship to transport it, but it had already sailed so far, so naturally there was no reason to go back.

"That..."Li Yan thought for a moment, although he was not convinced, what Xinyue said was not wrong, he knew Liang Wei better than Xinyue.

Seeing that Xinyue said that he was moved, he immediately said his thoughts, "Let's change the ship, you first send someone to the next state and county, rent a big ship, we arrive, change it immediately." ”

"Why don't you change it here," Li Yan asked suspiciously.

Xinyue smiled, since Liang Wei and King Rong Ying of Jin had a deal, and he was killed here, this is a matter that reaches the heavens, His Majesty will definitely send the imperial history to investigate, and the most important thing is that according to His Majesty's suspicious character, it is also expected to check his son who is not taken seriously, "There are two accidents here, can the state be cleaned up?" And this is not the jurisdiction of our Eastern Capital, this flag, not in wartime, hung like this, along the road to the state capital, although I dare not say a word, but it is indeed too eye-catching. ”

Although Li Yan still didn't quite understand why the princess and wife in Xinyue's boudoir were so cautious, since Xinyue had ordered it, he would do it, always for the good of King Yu's mansion.

Descending from the second deck, Li Wei carefully lowered the royal flag on the bow of the ship, folded it, and put it away in a box without pretending to be someone else.

After Li Yan left, Xinyue finally returned to his cabin, Feng'er took a bowl of lotus root powder sweet soup, handed it to Xinyue, Xinyue had breakfast in the Jin Wangfu in the morning, but because of different tastes, although the princess of Jin was also considerate and prepared, but it was difficult to say that it was delicious, so she only ate two mouthfuls of porridge, which was already three strokes a day, Xinyue was really a little hungry, after eating two mouthfuls of sweet soup, she was depressed, so she put the bowl aside again, "It's almost cleaned up, let's start the boat." ”

"It's already hoisting the sails, don't be impatient" Mama Wang came in from outside, and on the dowry boat, Mama Wang had already replaced them with their own people, but it seemed that this boat was a lot more deserted.

Crescent Moon nodded, "In this case, leave this place of right and wrong quickly." ”

"Madam, the box you want" Fei'er got on the boat and rummaged through the cabinets, looking for the box with a lock that Xinyue commanded, Xinyue took the box with the lock and key, reached out and touched the black bottle in her arms, and then looked at Feng'er who was busy in the house, Fei'er and Mama Wang, who was standing beside her, put down their hands again, "Mama, you make the bed for me, I want to rest for a while." ”

Mama Wang went to make the bed as she said, and saw Xinyue indifferently put the locked box in her hand aside, continued to pick up the sweet soup, and ate it in small bites, knowing that she was acting in an orderly manner, so she didn't ask anymore.

The new moon was lying on the bed, and heard the sound of an anchor coming out of the water, and sure enough, the boat began to jolt in a moment, and the ship really set off for Jinling.

took out the box and medicine that had been in his arms, Xinyue put the medicine inside, and after locking it, he opened it anew with anxiety, and after Hao'er pulled the curtain for Xinyue, he was stopped by Xinyue again, "What's wrong, madam?" ”

"You give me, find me a few small bottles." As soon as Xinyue finished speaking, Feng'er lifted the curtain, walked in, took out several bottles of different sizes from her sleeve, and threw them to Xinyue, "As soon as Madame came in and asked for a locked box, the slave and maid were ready." Xinyue picked up a few small bottles, after washing and wiping his hands, opened the black bottle, poured out the black pills in the bottle, carefully divided them, and let them be placed in different places, and finally, in the white bottles, there were a few more, which were packed in the box by Xinyue, and this time it was very reassuring to lock it.

Feng'er put the box in the baggage of the crescent moon's body, and said to the crescent moon with a smile, "Look at Madame's posture, this little thing, I'm afraid it's worth more than the boatload of things in the back." ”

"For me, even if I am given another boatload of things, it will not be more important than Yao'er, but this incident has given me a great reminder, that is, never expose what is important to me." As he spoke, Xinyue touched the bottle of medicine in his arms and collected it himself, and suddenly sat up with something in mind, "What if the ship sinks?" I'm not going to be done with this medicine, go and find me a waterproof box. ”

"Madam, don't be so exaggerated," she said, and she helped Xinyue to lie down from the new, cleaned up, and let Xinyue rest alone.

Crescent wrapped the quilt tightly, then smiled, and said to herself, "Now, I can finally go home." ”

It was already deep in the night, and the crescent moon stood on the deck, leaning against the railing and looking west.

Tomorrow, we will arrive in Jinling, and these ten days of fear will come to an end
