Chapter 142: Taking the Hook (2)
Xu Yunqing was ordered by the new emperor to secretly go to Qianzhong to be responsible for mining and escorting the newly excavated gold ore.
This matter is very important, and everyone in the court and the central government, only he and the new emperor know that the new emperor is guarding Beijing, and he is the best person to go to Qianzhong.
Leaving He Mian'er alone in Beijing, he was not afraid in his heart. He Mian'er is guarded by Yingzi, and she is now the eldest princess of the Great Xiao Kingdom, except for the new emperor, I am afraid that no one dares to touch a single hair of her.
At this time, it was also the middle of the night, and Xu Yunqing was watching a sum of gold ore take advantage of the moonlight to be escorted to other places by the Xu family's army.
In the middle of the night, he carried a big knife and went to the ten-mile long pavilion and saw the new emperor who was surrounded by people.
He originally wanted to stand by and let those men in black kill the new emperor. He can effortlessly, the knife is not bloody, and he can reap the benefits of the fisherman.
It's just that he looked at the four princes at that time, one of them huddled in the corner of the pavilion tremblingly, and it was only a few moments, and he was afraid that he was about to be in a different place.
After hesitating for a moment, he remembered the three princes in the palace, with a hateful face of absurd transition, and in a blink of an eye, he recalled the fear on He Mian'er's face and the despair in his eyes.
That's it, if this person dies, she is afraid that she will not be happy for the rest of her life.
Finally, Xu Yunqing's eyelids moved slightly, the knife flashed, and the rain outside was heavier, but under the rain curtain, the group of people were already dead and fled.
He clearly remembered that he said to the soaked-out fourth prince: "Since she wants to keep you, I will save your life, but you have to promise me that you will not covet her half a point in the future." ”
The fourth prince did not refuse, but nodded with a pale face.
At this point, he reached an agreement with the four princes, and he assisted the four princes to ascend the throne, and the four princes were no longer entangled with He Mian'er.
Xu Yunqing was caught in the memories, and saw a person come to tell him.
He Mian'er was alone in Beijing, and he sent his cronies to monitor her movements at any time, and when something happened, he quickly stepped up and came to inform him.
At this moment, seeing the person who came to report the news in Beijing, Xu Yunqing felt that something was wrong, and immediately turned over and got on the horse, flew around, and went to meet the person.
He asked sharply, "But, what happened to the eldest princess?" ”
The person who came to report the news didn't even get off his horse, and said without pause: "General Qiyu, according to reliable information, the Mongolian king Asuji came to worship and asked to marry the eldest princess. The welcoming team will depart tomorrow. ”
Xu Yunqing suddenly raised his eyebrows and asked carefully, "When did it happen?" What has happened, all of it, must not be concealed in the slightest. ”
The man told Xu Yunqing all the things that happened in the capital, "General Qiyu, that Asuji and he came to Beijing two days ago to present a batch of war horses. The condition is to marry a beautiful bride. ”
Xu Yunqing only listened carefully and signaled, "Go on." ”
The messenger continued: "The queen mother said that she must be a princess of the clan to be worthy of the identity of Asuji. Everyone in Beijing was talking for a while, saying that the eldest princess was the best candidate. Moreover, the people said....."
When the man said this, he suddenly reacted, and immediately stammered, and he couldn't say anything anymore. Bashan loves
"What did the crowd say?" That Xu Yunqing's words were indifferent, but there was a majesty in his words that could not be refused, "Don't hide it, forgive you for your innocence." ”
Xu Yunqing's words made the person who reported the news a lot of peace in his heart, he knew that the general was not the tyrannical person, but it was really hard to hear.
However, he secretly looked at Xu Yunqing, and saw that his general was waiting for him to continue, and then he wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and stumbled: "Everyone only said.... Say that little boy.... It was born to the eldest princess and Asuji. ”
"Ridiculous!" Xu Yunqing scolded angrily, so frightened that the horse under him neighed.
I heard the man continue: "This morning, Na Asuji entered the palace, and when he came out of the palace, he already had a holy decree in his hand, only a holy decree to marry the princess, and he will set off tomorrow. When Xiao heard this, he immediately didn't dare to hesitate at all, and quickly stepped up and came to report to the general. ”
Xu Yunqing was silent for a while, everyone knew that there was only He Mian'er as a princess of the right age.
It's just that he thought of the new emperor in a blink of an eye, and the new emperor's intentions for He Mian'er couldn't be clearer. How can you agree to He Mian'er marrying Mongolia?
Could it be that it is love but not love, and resentment?
At that moment, Xu Yunqing felt that something was not quite right, according to his understanding of the new emperor, the new emperor was not such a person who forgot his righteousness.
"Is it true?" Xu Yunqing frowned and asked.
"This matter is absolutely true, everyone in Beijing saw that the people of the palace came out to buy wedding dowries, just for the princess and her relatives to dowry."
The man told what he had seen, and then said, "Even the messenger brought by King Nasuji was procuring the dry food he had brought on the road, and he only set out from the capital at the beginning of the day. ”
When Xu Yunqing heard this, he asked, "Why is Asuji in such a hurry?" "After all, the king of Mongolia has always come to visit, and he will not leave for ten days and half a month, and this time Asuji stayed so short that it is really a little unreasonable.
"My subordinates don't know." The man bowed his head and said, just about to look up, but he saw that the person on his side was already fast, and he jumped out like lightning, and he could only see a vague back.
That Xu Yunqing reacted suddenly in his heart just now, that Asuji was in such a hurry to leave, he must have succeeded, and asked for the holy decree to marry He Mian'er. In order to avoid himself, he was in a hurry to return to Mongolia.
Thinking of the fact that two years ago, he parted with He Mian'er and couldn't see each other for two years, he felt a pain in his chest, and immediately whipped his horse and rushed to the capital.
At this time, it was the third watch in the middle of the night, and it was pitch black on the official road, and only a dark road could be seen vaguely.
Xu Yunqing kept hurrying, the night was blank, and he was the only one who hurried alone. From the darkness of the sky, until a few roosters could be faintly heard, and then to the east, I could see the road clearly.
All the way, he secretly swore that when he returned to Beijing this time, he would definitely intercept He Mian'er.
This time, whether she wanted to or not, he must force her to marry, so that no one else would have any chance to covet her and take her from his side.
Whether it was Shen Ji or Asuji, let alone the new emperor, he didn't allow these people to look at He Mian'er any more.
At this time, it was already dawn, Xu Yunqing ran all the way, but he didn't feel sleepy at all, and he was in a hurry, and finally when the sun was rising.
On the outskirts of Najing, I happened to meet the return party of the Mongolian king.
