Chapter 12: The Sun
Hou Cong put on a smiling face that was exactly the same as Mo Chang. "Your Highness is right. But how can you believe the answer of a person like me? β
It means that Hou Cong can completely say that one is true, or one can be said to be a fake smokescreen. The follow-up work to verify and deal with is not a good thing for Chengguo or Mochang.
Meaning, for Mo Chang, Hou Cong will no longer be credible. The purpose of Liguo to protect him and send him back is not to let him sit firmly on the dragon chair and the country and the people are safe.
"Good." Mo Chang said.
In fact, how could he have counted on a person's name as the answer? He really just wanted to find a moment to clearly stand on the opposite side of the chess game with Hou Cong, but he had to cooperate to deal with his cousin.
Mo Chang looked at Bai Yi and invited her to stay and reminisce. Bai Yi nodded, gently left Hou Cong's side, and sat on the chair opposite Mo Chang. Cuizhu also served tea. Hou Cong turned to leave, heard Mo Chang's soft voice, and asked Bai Yi if he still remembered that? ββThe food on Magpie Street, the boat with a thin waist, the water of the Lotus River, and the Purple Pao Lane. Chun Yu is an adult's family, Shen Da's family, Fang Da's family, Xiao Da's family......
Hou Cong couldn't help it, he stood at the door of the house for a while and eavesdropped, ate a finger-sized vinegar, and pondered, "Why doesn't Baiyi speak?" "Listen a little longer, and I'll leave when she has spoken." I finally heard Bai Yi answer, "I forgot it, just remember death row." β
Hou Cong almost didn't laugh, and left with light steps and a happy mood.
His mind lingered for a moment on the true answer to Mo Chang's question. He was thinking about it, telling Bai Yi at an opportune moment. - The Qin family.
The Qin family that Bai Shen has been gracious to.
Although he sacrificed one person in order to save Bai Yi, he still risked his life to send top-secret information to Liguo to protect Mo Chang, the eldest son of the first emperor of Chengguo who killed the Bai family. The reason is that after a relative died under the killer's knife, they faced round after round of disasters falling from the sky, but the few people who survived the disaster were all dragons and phoenixes among people. And keep in mind what Lord Bai is protecting.
Now, Uncle Qin's own son, who died to save the white clothes, was 25 years old at the time, handsome, smart and capable. Although his background is not high, and his family was killed by the mysterious power of the family who wanted to dispose of Lord Bai in the realm of cutting grass and eradicating roots, he still relied on his own ability to become the captain of the camp step by step.
His name is Qin Xian, his level is neither high nor low, and no one pays attention to him. But he participated in the secret, and pushed back all the engineering and tool tasks he knew back to the army, and came up with a three-step plan for Chengguo to kill Mo Chang, and boldly contacted Liguo Xizuo and passed on the information.
Hou Cong has admired Qin Xian for a long time and has always been curious about what kind of person he is. However, in the final analysis, his little belly chicken intestine problem has been committed again, because thinking that Qin Xian's father has such a fate with Bai Yi, how can he think about it, he also thinks that Bai Yi will be close when he sees Qin Xian, hmph, that's okay!
He took the steps and went to the warehouse and the stable again, controlling himself not to think about Qin Xian and Bai Yi. On the small stage in his heart, Murong Xing's tall, thin, reliable and hateful figure stood properly.
Hum!
In order not to let himself miss Murong Xing, he began to miss Dugu Zheng, and wondered how this Mao's errand in Pingdu was.
Dugu is already happy in Pingdu. His only "shortcoming" was that Murong Xingyuan was not around, so thinking that everyone was going to get together soon, his mood was even better.
On that day, Dugu was taking his subordinates to arrive at the capital of Chengguo, which was actually more than 100 miles away from Bailu Town, and became the focus of attention as soon as he entered the city gate. He enjoyed the glory brought by his appearance and grace, but he didn't dare to delay, he honestly went to the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites of Liguo, found the official responsible for receiving the envoy of Chengguo, reported his intentions layer by layer, and then waited for the opportunity to enter the palace.
The Imperial Palace of Liguo is located in the southeast corner of Pingdu. Dugu is passing from the official post, to take a boat, cross a bridge, walk, and then ride a horse. This is indeed different from Datong. But when he really entered the palace, he found that the layout was almost identical, which made him return to his hometown in a trance.
Emperor Liguo still attached great importance to him, and after waiting for a long time, a little eunuch came out to collect Mo Chang's letter, and after waiting for a while, a smiling old eunuch came out, and kindly asked him to go back to his residence and wait for news. Dugu is supposed to give the gift, the money that should be paid is done, and the smile is on his face all day long, even if he is in the palace of Pingdu and Liguo, he has left a good thought.
He was not idle at all, nor did he return to the official post, but went straight to the restaurant and the Qinglou and began to make friends. Place, pick the most expensive, girl, pick the most expensive - so after a few meals, I got to know the noble son of Liguo.
At present, there are very few people who can help him, but it is enough, that is, to tell him where the best place to spend money in Pingdu.
Dugu Zheng is not polite, gold and silverware, jewelry, silk, food, slaves, just pick the most tacky to buy. It's just that the people who take the shopping happen to be the children of the family, so the things bought are of high quality.
After shopping and buying, Dugu Zheng memorized the names of the military and political dignitaries of Liguo by the way, and had a preliminary understanding of the relationship between them. This process doesn't sound easy, but he still has a good mentality, just for fun, but unfortunately, the person who accompanies him is not the closest person. Dugu Zheng had 10,000 hopes to close his eyes and turned around, next to him were Murong Xing and Yuan You.
That feeling is sad.
Then, he personally escorted the car to Princess Yanyang's mansion with great fanfare. He knew that Princess Yanyang was now in the lead, trusted and loved pomp. Dugu Zheng deliberately wore a dark purple shirt, with a jasper hairpin pinned to his bun, and black boots on his feet, which made him even more self-evident with white teeth and red lips, and was suave.
The doorman of the princess's mansion collected the money and quickly reported it.
The princess happened to be at home, so she let Dugu Zheng in. At first, he kept a straight face, because he knew that the people of Liguo were not well-intentioned. She didn't even let the tea prepare, and she didn't prepare to come out to welcome the guests, so she ordered the chief historian of the princess's mansion to send Duguzheng away.
I didn't expect the chief historian to never come back. Princess Yanyang lost her temper, first beat someone, and then pinched the little girl's face and was ruthless: "Go and pull that lifeless one back, press it in the bathtub and drink the foot washing water, I'm going out!" Doesn't he serve? β
The little girl had already been stuffed with money by Duguzheng, and at this time she pleaded pitifully, "Your Highness, it's not that Uncle Changshi doesn't listen to you, it's that there are too many gifts from the people of Liguo, and he has to register them well." β
"Multiple farts! Haven't seen the world! β
The little girl continued to add oil and vinegar, because Dugu was promising her that as long as she coaxed the master to come out, there would be a final payment, "Not only are there many things, but the characters are also bright and beautiful." β
The princess's hand was released, and the little girl was able to play better: "There is a Dugu school captain, who is the noble son of their country, just like the flowers, and the sisters in the house are all around to see!" β
Princess Sunny ran to the front yard as soon as she slipped through the smoke.
The chief historian was indeed busy, standing in the pile of golden gifts, he was simply sweating profusely. And Dugu Zheng was standing in the courtyard, smiling like a flower, his face and body were facing the courtyard gate, slightly crooked, following a few girls and girls, learning the accent on the street.
The royal family of Pingdu, as well as half of the official eunuchs, the ancestral home is Datong, although it was more than a hundred years ago, but it has always been proud of speaking "Zhengyin". The other half of the official eunuchs are the powerful people in the south, and in order to curry favor with the royal family, they also have to speak "Zhengyin" in the court. But it's casual at home, as for the streets and alleys, it's all southern.
Dugu is studying very seriously, and the effect is very poor.
That idle, extravagant, stupid, and bad look is really lovely.
In the end, it is a northerner, although he looks like a flower and jade, and even a little feminine, but in terms of bearing, compared with the native men that Princess Yanyang is used to, even if it is a man in his own army, he has added a brave and fierce atmosphere for inexplicable reasons.
She was looking at her in a daze, and Dugu Zheng had already found her with her afterglow.
The princess who was allowed to wear a yellow robe has a pink and white round face, slender eyes, a small nose and a small mouth, which are reflected by the heavy embroidered peonies on the pale yellow robe.
He estimated that the other party saw that he was almost over, and for a moment, he officially turned his eyes, saluted the princess in a chic manner, and read the rank and title of Princess Yanyang from beginning to end, and kowtowed "Chitose Chitose".
"Get up." Princess Yanyang walked into him, paced two steps, and stared at him twice, the more she looked, the better she looked.
After a long rainy season, Heido entered the early summer, just as the sun was shining. The warm light depicts the clothes, face, and figure of the beautiful boy Duguzheng.
"How dare you give such an expensive gift. Please come in and talk. β
Dugu Zheng followed obediently and lovely.
Princess Yanyang looked at it slightly, there are good valuables everywhere, don't care if you like it or not, this pomp is really happy for her, even if she doesn't use it, it is feasible to keep it for giving away and rewarding people.
She sat down and asked Dugu Zheng, "What are you doing?" β
Dugu Zheng arched his hand, "How can a subordinate humble body be qualified to ask His Highness to do something?" I ask you to be the commander of his subordinates, Hou Cong, the general of the Liguo Wuwei. β
"He," of course Princess Yanyang knew that Hou Cong was the one who escorted her cousin back to be a-stirring stick, but she had to ask, "Who is he?" What kind of person is he? β
The princess didn't expect Duguzheng's answer to be like this: "His nickname, Datong Yizhihua, is a man who is better looking than his subordinates." β
