Chapter 321, Comfort Nest
Seeing that Tuoba Tao was interested, Zong Ai led him all the way to a high place and walked to an attic. It's about an observation pavilion with a view of the Summer Palace Gardens on all sides.
Although in the night, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it is only a cloud of shadows, but the "golden dragon" formed by candles winds in the Yushu Lanzhi, but it looks very bold.
Tuoba Tao looked at everything in front of him, at first he was a little excited, and then he felt very emotional, "The Helian clan is just a part, so poor and extravagant, how can it not destroy the country...... The palace of this Xia Kingdom is simply a comfortable nest for people to consume their will...... I won't go to the dormitory of the palace, the scenery here is very good, so let's rest here tonight. ”
Zong Ai seemed to have guessed that Tuoba Tao would do this, and with a wave of his hand in front of him, two small chamberlains pushed open the newly cleaned attic for Emperor Wei.
Tuoba Tao was satisfied, nodded slightly and stepped in. As a result, as soon as the front foot landed, his face immediately sank again, "Why is she here?" Tuoba Tao pointed to Helian Ke kneeling in the room, and asked Zong Ai very dissatisfied.
Zong Ai looked innocent, "This, just now His Majesty's guards handed over this woman to the slave, saying that His Majesty had already taken her in, so the slave placed her here." ”
Since inviting Yu away, Tuoba Tao is no longer so reluctant to have sex with the concubine in order to give birth to the prince. Zong Ai thought that the wind had blown over the rain of Tan Invite. Who would have thought that Tuoba Tao would suddenly clean himself up again at this time.
Helian Ke noticed the look of boredom on Tuobatao's face, and before Tuoba Tao could speak, he took a few steps on his knees, bowed his head in front of Tuobatao, and said: "Your Majesty, you may have heard some gossip from the slave family, but the slave family guarantees that those are all things to catch the wind and shadows." The slave family is still in perfect condition, if you don't believe it, you can find a grandmother to test it. Since my brother gave you the slave family, the slave family will serve you wholeheartedly. ”
Helian Ke's original self-esteem and cold arrogance never seemed to exist, she knew in her heart that Tuoba Tao's attention was not on her, if she put on a posture of rejecting people for thousands of miles, it would only make Emperor Wei disgusted, and then she would reward her to any general, she would really be worse than dead.
Now I only hope that this majesty can see her pity, take her, and save her from the fate of humiliation. A man can still bend and stretch, she is just a woman, so why is there any need to guard the country's chastity?
Tuoba Tao kicked Zong Ai's ass, "I thought you were clever just now, but in fact, you are a mushy head!" Invite Yu is still missing, do you think I will have the heart to have sex with others?! ”
"The Celestial Maiden is gone?!" Zong Ai pretended to be surprised and said, "This, this slave doesn't know! ”
Remembering that Zong Ai was indeed not in the main hall, Tuoba Tao dissipated his anger a little, "Okay, okay," he waved his hand impatiently, "Hurry up and get people out." ”
Zong Ai hurriedly stepped forward, as if he was gently holding Helian Ke's arm to help her get up, but in fact, he used a little force in his hand, "Princess, let's go with our family." ”
Helian Ke thought that Tuoba Tao was going to give her away, but he completely ignored the pain in his arm, kicked his legs, and desperately stepped back: "No, I won't go." I'm Princess Fufu. Being pulled out like this, how can I still lose face? ”
Helian Ke's words suddenly reminded Tuoba Tao, he raised his hand to stop Zong Ai, looked down at Helian Ke and said, "Your fief is helping the wind?" ”
Helian Ke didn't know why, seeing that Zong Ai was no longer pulling her, he hurriedly pulled his arm back first, and then nodded lightly with some uncertainty, "Yes." The father said that Fufeng's name was very compatible with the slave family, so he gave this place to the slave family. ”
"Fufeng......" Tuoba Tao thoughtfully walked to a circle chair and sat down, stretching his legs on a horse for a day, "It's very close to Chang'an." Do you have an old ministry that is helping the wind, and can you get in touch with your brother Helianding? ”
Now that the city of Tongwan has been broken, there is no danger to defend in Great Xia. It's just that Helianding is still sticking to Chang'an, Helianding does not fall for a day, and Daxia will not be considered to destroy the country for a day.
Helian Ke understood the meaning of Tuobatao's words in an instant, her face became more and more pale, and her body trembled again. She didn't dare to look at Tuobatao's eyes, so she could only bow her head sideways and reply, "Fufeng...... Although it is a fief of the slave family, the slave family is just a princess after all. In addition to the annual endowment, the slave family never asks about other things. ”
Tuoba Tao tapped his fingers on the handle of the circle chair, obviously not satisfied with Helenke's answer, but he had no intention of forcing a princess who had lost his country to betray her brother on the day of the destruction of the country.
Tuoba Tao leaned back in his chair and thought for a while, then ordered: "In this case, you will let the county guard of Fufeng hand over the two years together." If the money is insufficient, it shall be supplemented with grain and grass. ”
Helian Ke took a soft breath of cold air, Fufeng is a big county near Chang'an, and there is a war in Chang'an, Helian will definitely go to Fufeng to collect grain and grass. At this time, taxes are levied in advance, not to mention whether Helian Ding's grain and grass will be cut off, the brother-sister friendship between her and her second brother will definitely be buried.
"You don't want to?" Tuoba Tao sat up, bracing his elbows on his legs, like a beast of prey, ready to burst out with terrifying power at any moment and pounce on his prey.
Helenke wanted to say "no", but when she opened her mouth several times, the word remained stuck in her throat and couldn't come out.
Tuoba Tao didn't intend to spend all this night on this woman, he said decisively: "Since I have decided to treat the Helian clan well, as long as Helian is settled, I will forgive him." You go down and think about it first, and then someone can tell me. ”
Tuobatao's attitude was obviously much more relaxed than Fang Cai. Helian Ke didn't dare to mess around anymore, so he had to leave with Zong Ai.
Tuoba Tao only let out a long breath at this time, looking at the gilt and silver vase carved with exotic beauties on the desk, such a beautiful utensil, but in the summer palace, it was only used to hold water at random.
He suddenly wanted to see what kind of expression Tan Invite Yu would have when he saw these things.
Tuoba Tao raised his hand to cover his eyes, and said to himself, "You haven't gotten your benefits yet, I know that you won't leave empty-handed." ”
-- The Dividing Line --
At this time, on the easternmost side of the eastern city, under the corner of the city wall that has been ignored for many years, the weeds have grown tall enough. Occasionally, a rat or two scurried by, and seemed to be the only living creature in the vicinity.
Not far from the corner, you can see rows of houses that have collapsed into shape. Looking at the scale, this place used to be lively for a while, but now, there is nothing else in it except barren grass and moss.
Although Tongwancheng is known as the first city in the north, there are actually many barren corners of the city like this. Emperor Xia collected labor every year, repaired the palace, replenished the army, and after a generation died, it was no longer inhabited.
The wind gathers in the corner, and from time to time the wind whirls, raising the surrounding sand and soil, squinting so that people can't open their eyes. At this time, Gai Wu was cautiously approaching here, coughing while choking on the wind and sand, and shouting in a low voice: "Cloud Dao Chief, where are you?" ”
