Chapter 287: Western Regions
When Cheng Yingyu opened her eyes, it was already evening.
Shen Yinliuxiang, Su Qian, and Qian Wei all looked at her, and there were Zhao Xiche, Zhao Xiyan and Rong Wei next to her, and the secluded garden was crowded.
There was a strong smell of medicinal juice in the autumn wind, and I could hear the gurgling of the small brass medicine stove, and the hot air stirred the lights.
"Awake? How do you feel? Seeing the woman open her eyes, everyone spoke in unison.
Cheng Ying calmed down, Xu was covered and sweated, and drank the freshly decocted medicine, and his body was already a lot cooler.
She looked at Su Qian first: "Uncle...... Su family ......"
"It's all right, don't worry." Su Qian stopped the woman from sitting up, "Cao Xili has withdrawn his troops, and the Qian family has also spoken, so that all the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River will protect the Su family for a hundred years." β
Cheng Yingyu put his mind at ease, and his gaze turned to Shen Yin, who had red eyes and knelt down with a thud.
"Second girl, thank you for helping me out! Such a great kindness, I Shen Yin wrote it down! I also wrote it down in the Pyeongchang Marquis Mansion! β
Cheng Yingyu asked Liuxiang to help her up and waved her hand: "I came forward to win, which is the least loss and the most peaceful solution." Buddhism still talks about winning the seventh-level floating slaughter, how can I not be a hero? β
"The second girl is not humble." Qian Wei's voice came, and she gave the same grateful salute, "I have avoided the two forces pulling Jiangnan, and the girl is the first hero." β
Cheng Yingyu was a little embarrassed to be said, and with a shy face, she pulled Liuxiang forward: "This time it's all thanks to this girl." The so-called real person does not show her face, she is the hero. β
So when he said that he changed the music score and Xizi's heart, everyone was impressed by Liuxiang, and they wanted the girl to be commensurate with each other, and no longer be a slave.
When the excitement stopped for a while, Cheng Ying coughed twice, and said, "My plan must have been heard by my uncle." I won, but I won't marry, so I will find Mr. to explain clearly, Mr. is high-spirited, knows my mind, and will not force me to do anything. I also hope that my uncle will arrange for me to have a secret conversation with my husband. β
As soon as the words fell, everyone's faces were different.
Su Qian sighed: "Little Thirteen, a lot of things happened in the few hours you were asleep. First of all, the head of the family quit Xizi Lake and went to Tianping Mountain to worship his ancestors, and now he is on the way. Also, from Ming'er, after receiving the order of the head of the family, I no longer serve the head of the family, but manage the marriage with Qian Wei, and at that time, double happiness came. β
Cheng Ying's heart chuckled, and the body that had just warmed up was like cold water poured on her head again.
Qian Mu went to Tianping Mountain to worship his ancestors. In a hurry, he hurried all night, and no matter how he looked at it, he seemed to avoid her.
Su Qian prepares for her marriage with Qian Wei. The decision was sudden, and double happiness came to the door, no matter how you look at it, they all deliberately transferred him away from Qian Mu's side.
On the autumn evening in October, the wind was blowing through the courtyard, leaking in through the cracks in the green screen window, blowing Cheng Ying's hand from cold to Tianling.
Abnormal, too abnormal, so abnormal that she subconsciously denied it, and the person who did the game pointed to a money curtain.
Cheng Yingyu gritted her teeth, slammed the bed, jumped down and was about to go out, but was stopped by everyone in a hurry.
"Let go of me! I'm going to find Mr. Go to Tianping Mountain to find him! Cheng Ying kicked his legs.
Su Qian twisted her back, anxious and helpless: "It's night now, you're still sick, where are you going?!" No matter how bad it is, wait until tomorrow, and then cover your sweat tonight! Ming'er can chase faster on horseback! β
Cheng Ying was stunned for a moment, feeling that this was reasonable, so she jumped back on the couch and retracted the quilt: "Go and decoct some medicine again!" Bring two more mattresses! Hurry up, hurry up! β
Qian Wei and Su Qian glanced at each other and said in a deep voice: "Second girl, this matter is indeed too strange, but Su Langming'er and I are going to start preparing for the marriage, and I am afraid that many things will no longer be able to take care of you." According to the meaning of the Qian family, the head of the family will marry a wife ten days later, and you must grasp it well. β
Cheng Ying nodded again and again, and reluctantly smiled: "It's me who is abrupt, no matter what, I want to congratulate my uncle and aunt, I will definitely come to drink a glass of wine in ten days." β
After a pause, Cheng Yingyu looked around and accentuated his tone: "I am Yin Sheng's business, don't expose it for the time being." If anyone says leak...... Scold. β
Everyone responded, the stakes were very high, and even Zhao Xiche was full of grimness, and the situation between the imperial palace and Shengjing was in full swing.
"By the way, uncle, I wrote to the ...... of the East Palace Already on your way? Cheng Yingyu suppressed her panicked heartbeat and asked Su Qian.
Su Qian nodded: "It will be sent out on the same day, you can rest assured, the fastest horse." β
It turned out that before deciding to stir up the situation, Cheng Yingyu wrote a secret letter about the matter, and sent her homely letters to the imperial palace for Zhao Xiche to know.
It's just that the north and the south are all the way, and even if it is a quick horse, it will take a few days, but Zhao Xiche can endure it before hearing any rumors.
Seeing that it was not too early, the visitors also resigned one after another, and when they came to the door, Rong Wei seemed to remember something, and turned back, his face as blue as a leek.
"Second girl, you're too risky."
"Say me? Ah Wei, you accompany Zhao Xiche every day, I heard that it is teaching? Do you know the people who care about the auspicious shop? β
Cheng Yingyu is also blue-faced, don't look over.
ββ¦β¦ The queen was angry. In a hurry, Rong Wei said the wrong thing again, clenching his fists, "If this matter is slightly wrong, it will be a bully to the ......king."
"I know! It's a big deal, just say to Zhao Yin as Queen Minde! He still knelt down to worship me back then, who was afraid? β
Cheng Ying rolled her eyelids, the queen that the man called the wrong one, she also received it, Rong Wei has been circling around a certain place in the past few days, and she has already saved up a lot of anger.
Rong Wei softened his tone and sighed: "I'm afraid it's not that simple. The relationship between the Imperial Palace and Jiangnan is already delicate, and if the scale pole is half a point towards either side, the situation will get out of control. This time it is the head of the family who has a wife, and I am afraid that there will be more twists and turns, so you must be cautious. β
No matter how arrogant Cheng Yingwei is, the benefits and disadvantages are still clear.
She impersonated the election and won, and she took the risk of bullying the king, if the follow-up is not appropriate, it will not be her alone in the rebellion, but the rebellion in the north and south of the imperial palace and Shengjing.
Fingertips clenched into fists in his sleeves, and Cheng Ying bit out a word: "Okay." β
The west wind made the window sash clang, making people panic, and the night of Qianfu was quiet with cinnamon, but they didn't know that a bigger wind and rain were already brewing.
The next day, as soon as the morning light broke through the miserable fog of October, a horse rushed out of the city.
This is Cheng Ying, and there is Liuxiang.
Because Cheng Yingyu is still "Yin Sheng" now, he only brought Liuxiang, who couldn't ride a horse, so the two rode and galloped away to Tianping Mountain.
Tianping Mountain, is the burial place of the ancestral tomb of the Qian family, it is famous for the red maple, strange stones, and clear springs, especially the red maple is the most, the red leaves in the mountains are all over the field every year, the scenery is breathtaking, and it has the reputation of the red maple in the world (Note 1).
However, Cheng Yingyu was not in the mood to appreciate it at all, because when he galloped into a maple forest, an iron chain burst out from under his feet, the horse's hooves were raised, and the sky was dizzy, and Cheng Yingyu and Liuxiang fell off the horse.
Knock, two muffled sounds, smashed red leaves to the ground.
Cheng Ying didn't care about the pain in her heart and lungs, and hurriedly helped Liuxiang up, but before she could figure out what was going on, the killing machine came overwhelmingly.
The air was torn apart, the maple forest was bleak, and more than a dozen black shadows rushed from the darkness, and the unsheathed sword was bright, and without saying a word, it slashed towards Cheng Ying.
"Second girl! Their goal is you, you run! Slave and maid help you drag it for a while! Liuxiang didn't say a word, and desperately pushed Cheng Ying away.
"Are you crazy?! You're going to die! I, Cheng Thirteen, am so greedy for life and afraid of death? β
How dare Cheng Yingyu leave Liuxiang here alone, grabbing the branches and stones indiscriminately, and staggering to resist the slashing sword.
Although she is a general's daughter, but because she is a concubine, except for a riding skill, the ancestral martial arts have not caught anything, if Gui Yezi is here, the Cheng family's marksmanship will not be so embarrassing.
But the group of black-clothed men were extremely well-trained, and they recognized Cheng Yingyu alone, and without saying a word, they all went straight to the point.
"You run first!"
In a hurry, Cheng Yingyu planned to push away Liuxiang, but she didn't expect this girl to be a sincere person, and she didn't want to leave Cheng Yingbu to live, so the two had to go back to back, barely coping with some three-legged cat kung fu, but where was the assassin's opponent.
The deep forest is surging, the killing machine is thunderous, the red maple is like blood in the sky, and life and death are thrilling.
"Damn! Could it be that I, Cheng Ying, am going to die here today?! Who is the evil who wants my life? β
However, after half a cup of tea, Cheng Yingyu was stabbed in the arm, the blood soaked through his shirt, he grinned in pain, and the incense was not much better, he was hit by a sword in his leg, and there was a bowl-sized blood hole.
It was just at the last moment, when the half-foot hell was half-footed, the maple leaves were rustling, and two more figures appeared in the field.
The situation suddenly reversed, and at an astonishing speed, it was simply an eye-opener, and the two full moon scimitars cut silver lines in mid-air, blood splattered, and the assassin fell to the ground.
The disparity in strength is so great that it can.
The maple forest was quiet, the blood was dripping, and the autumn sky was high and the west wind was red.
Cheng Ying pulled the strap, and quickly bandaged himself for Liuxiang, the assassins who were arrogant before all met the king of Hades, and the benefactors who saved their lives were two men.
They are all black-leather boots with turn-necks and narrow sleeves, slightly curly brown hair, a water bladder and a silver knife on their waists, and they are dressed as Hu people.
A tall person, extraordinary instruments, light green pupils and money curtains, and a sense of arrogance that is used to being the master.
The other person followed behind him, slightly shorter, with a narrow eagle nose and narrow eyes, at first glance heroic, but deep down there was a smearing yin owl aura.
"Are the two girls' injuries serious?" The man who was the master put the knife into the sheath and looked at the second daughter.
"Girl, it's from the Western Regions." Liuxiang pulled Cheng Ying's sleeve and whispered.
"As early as after the alliance of the Eastern Zhou Yumen, the Western Regions surrendered to my Zhou. The Hu people and the Central Plains people are both saints, so it doesn't matter. Cheng Yingyu comforted Liuxiang, pulled her behind her, and thanked the two Hu people.
"I didn't hurt the key, thank you to the two knights for the rescue. There is no way to repay the grace of saving lives, although the concubine is not a noble, dare to ask the chivalrous honorific number, and it is good that she will be able to repay one or two in the future. β
The man led by first slipped the bandage on Cheng Ying's arm, made sure that the bleeding had stopped, and then hugged his fist: "Down, Ashina Kui." β
The voice is hearty, open, and the kind that can make people feel good when they listen to it.
The hawk-nosed man behind him also clenched his fists: "In Lower Calmos." β
This one's voice was a little muffled, like a wolf's throat rolling in the night.
So Cheng Ying looked away uncomfortably and stared at the man in charge, especially the pair of green eyes, which were the same color as the money curtain.
"Ashina? Ah, second girl! Family, all family! Liuxiang first shouted out happily and took the initiative to report to the house, "The slave maid is serving Miss Yin, Miss Yin is a cousin of the Su family, and Master Su Qian follows the head of the Qian family ......."
Cheng Yingyu's memory is gradually clear, Ashina, this surname, has explained everything.
Western Regions Kingdom, royal family.
"Second girl, have you heard of it? The grandmother of the head of the house is an orchid! It's not an ordinary orchid in a wine shop, but a royal family in the Western Regions, surnamed Ashina! Liuxiang excitedly explained to Cheng Yingyu, "The Qian family in Jiangnan and the royal family in the Western Regions are related to their hometowns!" β
Cheng Ying was stunned, and then looked at Ashina Kui's green eyes, it was really a family.
"Yes, below is the current Khan of the Western Regions, and Galmore is the setting of my Western Regions." Ashina Qui laughed loudly.
Galmore, who was behind him, grimaced, seemed to be very sarcastic at this kind of friendly scene.
Cheng Yingyu couldn't help but look at him twice, Galmore, his real name should be Galmore, and he is an official position (Note 2), I heard that he is a first-class military attache in the Western Regions, but he doesn't know how to have two temperaments with his master.
exegesis
1. Tianping Mountain: The description of Tianping Mountain in this paragraph is from "7 self-driving routes around Shanghai in golden autumn and October, and the most beautiful maple leaves and ginkgo scenery in autumn in Jiangnan are inside". Tianping Mountain is the Qian's mausoleum, which is needed for the novel, so don't take the test. But Tianping Mountain is the burial place of Fan Zhongyan's Fan ancestors. (Source: Weike Vacation)
2. Setting: It is the position of Turkic military attachΓ©. The Turks are also written in the New Tang Dynasty Book of Turkic Biography: "Turkic Ashina...... To Tumen, then powerful, more Khan, Yu Dan, his wife called Kedun...... The other soldiers are called "set up". The "General Dictionary" also has: "Tumen then called himself Ili Khan, and the ancient Shan Yu also; His wife is called Ke Hedun, and he is also the ancient Yan clan...... The leader of the other division is called the establishment". In the text, Calmos, whose name and official position are called together, is just like we call General Wang Shangshu Li.
