Chapter 64: Heavenly Might (Part 2, Chapter 17)
Inside the Lan Zhao Palace. After Yang Cheng tested the crown prince of Gao Zhengguo last time, he could basically confirm that Yang Mubai was not in his hands. However, according to the exchange of information between him and Zhang Shuo, through various indications, apart from him, there is really no second suspect.
The crown prince of Gao Zhaoguo suddenly changed the marriage period, and in order to avoid his marriage with Princess Yongjing, he could only stay in Lan Zhaoguo. It made him anxious. Yang Mubai didn't find any traces, but he was trapped in Lan Zhaoguo, and he couldn't help anything.
Can't sleep at night. And the more he gets along with Princess Yongjing, the more strange he feels. I didn't feel awkward when I used to sleep in the same bed, but now I always feel uncomfortable.
At first, he was recuperating from his injuries and often woke up in the middle of the night. Princess Yongjing slept in a room in order to take care of him conveniently.
And a large group of people who wanted to match them with some good things, after choosing the date of marriage, dismantled the other bed in the room, saying that it would be convenient to cultivate feelings. Okay! Anyway, they also discussed, it was a fake marriage, so they didn't take it seriously.
Sleeping together, Yang Cheng would be sick like that, and he couldn't do anything, so Princess Yongjing went with them.
Yang Cheng resolutely opposed it many times, and Princess Yongjing said: "If you oppose it again, they will kill you, saying that you and I are already married, and your refusal to marry will damage the royal face." Just according to what we agreed before, when you recover from your injury, you will secretly sign and leave the book, which is nothing. ”
Yang Cheng said very apologetically: "Princess Yongjing, I don't care, it's just too insulting to your reputation." ”
Princess Yongjing said nonchalantly: "You are a big man and indecisive, I don't care." If I meet Ruyi Langjun in the future, I will definitely explain to him, just to save someone's life. If he is so narrow-minded, he is not a good match for me. So for me, nothing to lose, sleep. I'm not going to do anything to you. With that, he lay down and fell asleep.
Since he said so, Yang Cheng no longer refused, and slept with Princess Yongjing like this.
And when the people of good deeds saw that they were getting closer and closer and getting along more and more harmoniously, they were content to prepare for the wedding.
The more she understands, the more Princess Yongjing likes Yang Cheng, how can such a man not attract him. He has strong willpower, and he is not afraid of being subdued by power, and he is so dedicated. The more I compare, the more I feel that this is a good man. It's a pity, he has a sweetheart, alas!
After another three months, Yang Cheng's injuries have healed most of them, but he can't walk yet. You can only sit on a chair, and you can't practice. Every day, he spends his days outside in the sun and reading books.
On this day, Princess Yongjing and the two royal brothers were practicing archery, although they had no interest in practicing martial arts, but as princes, practicing martial arts was also one of the necessary lessons.
Every time it was time to practice, they were not interested and perfunctory.
The eldest prince shot the arrow carelessly, but he didn't expect it to miss, and shot straight at Yang Cheng.
Everyone thought to themselves: It's over, if this arrow goes down, can the horse master be saved, the injury is so serious, and now there is another arrow. I pinched a cold sweat in my heart.
I didn't think that Yang Cheng reached out and caught it steadily, and then motioned for them to come and get the arrow. He said to the eldest prince: "The eldest prince, your archery method is not right. ”
Everyone was stunned, they had never seen Yang Cheng practice, thinking that his martial arts were nothing more than that, otherwise how could he be beaten so badly by the enemy and fall off the cliff.
Looking at it now, this Yang Cheng's martial arts are amazing. Arrows can be caught steadily.
Princess Yongjing has completely fallen, isn't this the wishful husband she dreamed of? The martial arts are so high, and he has never boasted in front of her. Thinking of her previous martial arts in front of him, she asked him if he was powerful.
This reminded Yang Cheng of Qiu Yue's appearance that he was going to compete with him, so he smiled and said, "It's not bad." ”
Princess Yongjing believed it and felt that Yang Cheng admired her very much, but unexpectedly, he just laughed and thought that she was getting an axe in the class.
Thinking of this, Princess Yongjing blushed. said: "Yang Cheng, I didn't expect you to be so good at kung fu, why didn't you say it before?" ”
Yang Cheng said: "You didn't ask? ”
Princess Yongjing "......"
After a while, Princess Yongjing said again: "When you are healed, let's try it together, and you can also teach me, how about it?" ”
Yang Cheng said: "Of course you can! ”
Princess Yongjing is happy!
Yang Cheng continued: "In Luoyang before, Qiuyue often asked me to compete. You don't know, her martial arts are not as good as mine, and she still doesn't admit defeat, and she changes her law every day. Sometimes I cry more than if I lose! After saying that, he smirked.
Princess Yongjing showed a crying and laughing expression and said, "Your relationship was so good when you were a child!" ”
Yang Cheng chatted with interest again: "Of course, we grew up together since childhood, and later practiced martial arts together and performed tasks together. Later, we had the same heart and mind, and we made a lifelong decision. Looking at his happy face, Yongjing thought regretfully in his heart: In this life, I can't reach this Qiuyue girl.
On the night of the wedding, they all went through the whole process very cooperatively. When everyone dispersed and the two of them were left, Yang Cheng lifted his hijab and saw the shy Princess Yongjing. He was stunned for a while, he had never seen Princess Yongjing like this, and thought to himself: If it was Qiuyue, what would her expression be.
After drinking a glass of wine, Princess Yongjing said, "Doesn't this look like we are really getting married?" ”
Yang Cheng said: "Princess Yongjing, this etiquette is the etiquette of a big wedding, but we are a fake marriage. You've been wronged. ”
Princess Yongjing replied: "It's okay, I said, I don't care about this. It's just a formality. Miss Qiuyue is very happy, and she has always loved her with a good man like you. She must have been a beautiful and gentle woman. ”
Thinking of Qiu Yue's face, Yang Cheng said happily: "She is indeed a beautiful and gentle woman. I was so lucky to have met her. ”
Princess Yongjing said: "I am also lucky to meet you. Otherwise, I don't know that there are people in the world who are so strong in martial arts. ”
What I thought in my heart was: I was lucky to meet you, and it was my regret to fall in love with you. This relationship ended without a problem after all.
After two months of tracking and searching, the crown prince of Gao Zhengguo has only been in the palace recently, and occasionally has been in contact with the Western Turk Lord, but there are no other clues.
The informants and secret guards passed over one by one, which made the prince of Gao Zhengguo also vigilant.
He has become very low-key, and even has a lot less contact with the outside world, and Yang Mubai's trace is still no progress.
This made Pei Shengyuan very angry, and such a big living person disappeared out of thin air. The imperial capital invested all the secret guards and eyeliner, and the gangs in the rivers and lakes all touched it, but they didn't find Yang Mubai.
During a discussion, Pei Shengyuan said: "Just go directly and tie up the prince of Gao Zhengguo and torture him, I don't believe how hard his bones are." ”
Zhang Shuo said: "Your Majesty, this trip must not be, we have no evidence to prove that it was done by the crown prince of Gao Zhaoguo, so it is unreasonable to rush to tie people up." and advocating joining forces with the Western Turkistan Princedom, this move will only allow them to use the opportunity to play. ”
Qiu Yue also said: "Yang Cheng has already tried it last time, maybe the queen mother is not in his hands." We sent so many people without a clue. ”
Xu Lang said: "Your Majesty, I received an official report today, this time the crown prince of Gao Zhiguo united the Western Tu Jue Kingdom, and when he was waiting to marry his relatives through the road, he should join forces with the outside and capture the Yanqi Kingdom (this is a vassal state of the imperial capital, leading to foreign trade routes. Control the trade lanes of the imperial capital so that they could collect taxes. After that, he captured the imperial capital of Yiu and other places. Completely get rid of the control of the imperial capital and do not pay tribute to the imperial capital. “
He thought it was quite beautiful, but after his conspiracy was discovered, he had to pay the price of blood.
Pei Shengyuan said: "It seems that it is time to show them the imperial capital Tianwei. This matter will be discussed with the ministers again tomorrow. The most important thing now is to find Mu Mu first. She has been missing for seven months. ”
Zhang Shuo, Xu Lang, and Qiu Yue all lowered their heads. They had used all their strength to search, and in the current situation, they even suspected that Yang Mubai was dead. It's just that no one dares to say it, and now I firmly believe that she is still alive, I'm afraid that Pei Shengyuan is the only one who is alone.
On the second day, Pei Shengyuan received a secret report to discuss with the ministers.
Lu Huai said: "Your Majesty, Gao Zhiguo has tried every means to shirk and not pay tribute in the past two years, and he originally wanted to sit on an equal footing with the current imperial capital. Such an act is unforgivable. It is necessary to destroy the Gao Advocacy State, to set an example, and let the small countries know the imperial capital Tianwei. ”
Xiangguo also said: "The country of Gao Zheng is bound to be destroyed, otherwise all small countries will follow suit, where is the power of my imperial capital?" ”
General Niu also said: "Gao advocated such a small country, and dared to have two hearts for the emperor. There is also the Western Turk Lordship, which cannot be let go. Your Majesty, the minister begged for an order, and the minister was willing to go to the Western Turk Kingdom in person to kill them all. ”
Pei Shengyuan said: "What does Niu Aiqing want? ”
General Niu replied: "The minister will organize an expeditionary force of 150,000 to first capture the Western Turkist Kingdom and cut off the reinforcements of the Gao Advocacy State. In this way, Gao advocates the country like a bag to take things. ”
Pei Shengyuan asked: "Niu Aiqing, how long will it take to organize an expeditionary force of 150,000 and then march to the Western Turk Monarchy?" ”
General Niu replied, "Two months is enough." ”
Two months later, there is still a month left before Gao advocates the country's borrowing, and there is time to do it.
Pei Shengyuan said: "In this way, I will act according to General Niu's words." ”
On this day, Qiu Yue came to Zhang Shuo, she wanted to ask the informant sent out during this time if there was any news of Yang Mubai.
Unexpectedly, when I came to Zhang's mansion, I saw Akso pestering Zhang Shuo again.
This made her very angry, how could this man be like this? Everyone is looking for the queen's mother, just him, Lord Zhang, is still messing around with the little girl at home.
Then he asked angrily: "Lord Zhang, what progress has you made recently?" ”
Zhang Shuo was also surprised when he saw Qiu Yue coming, after all, he hadn't come to Zhang's Mansion since she left last time.
Busy said: "I'm really sorry, I haven't replied to any new news recently, and when there is news, I will tell you." ”
Zhang Shuo thought again, she must not be willing to come to Zhang's mansion, maybe she was too anxious to wait for the news, in order not to make Qiuyue so hard, so he said: "If there is news, I will send someone to you as soon as possible, if you don't want to come." Just wait for news in the palace. ”
Qiu Yue thought coldly: If this is the case, with a newcomer, it is inconvenient for her to come to Zhangfu now! also deliberately issued an eviction order. It seems that he will not be able to come back in the future.
Then he said, "I'm asking if you and Akso have made any new progress." Look at you and me every day, and soon you will be able to return with a beauty. ”
This made Zhang Shuo stunned, what do you mean. Today it was just Akso who came to bring him food. They hadn't seen each other for many days, but it just so happened that they were fine today, and Akso came often, and they didn't see each other a lot of the time. They only meet once or twice occasionally.
Then he said: "Qiuyue, I didn't delay anything, but today Miss Akso came to send ......"
Akso said angrily: "What does the matter between us have to do with you Qiuyue girl?" We're good things coming, what's wrong with you? You've dumped him, and I've never seen anyone like you. What are you doing here today? Do you want to rekindle your old relationship with Zhang Shuo? ”
Qiu Yue was almost angry with Akso, and hurriedly replied: "Miss Akso, don't worry! I will never rekindle my old relationship with him, but I just came to ask about the affairs of the palace. I'm sorry to bother you. ”
Hearing this, Zhang Shuo's heart was about to bleed. Although he knew that Qiu Yue would not get back together with him, he still felt so heartache that he couldn't breathe when he thought that Qiu Yue would never say that he would never rekindle his old feelings.
Akso choked and said, "Zhang Shuo annoys you, didn't you hear him say?" If there is news that will be sent to the palace, you don't have to run to Zhang's mansion and rush to ask for reunion. Zhang Shuo will never get back together with you. You'd better not come to Zhang's Mansion again in the future, here, I'll soon be the hostess here. ”
Zhang Shuo listened to what they said, and quickly said, "Okay, don't quarrel anymore." Qiuyue, I didn't say that......"
Akso and Akizuki said to him at the same time, "Shut up!! ”
Zhang Shuo: "......"
Zhang Shuo only reluctantly stepped aside, okay! A woman's war, he can't handle it.
Qiu Yue said: "Lord Zhang is really good, this Zhang Mansion has a high threshold, and I will not step into it again in the future." Leave! ”
Zhang Shuo hurriedly stopped: "Qiuyue, I didn't say that. Don't listen to Aksohu......"
Before he could finish speaking, Akso replied, "Okay! Autumn Moon girl, since you have said so, then please! Don't come back again. All you did to him was hurt by coming. Go and see what the rumors are going to become? Zhang Shuo has become the laughing stock of the whole city because of you. ”
Autumn Moon: "......"
Qiu Yue opened her mouth to refute, opened her mouth, but finally didn't say anything, and then left without looking back.
As soon as Zhang Shuo wanted to catch up, Akso said, "Zhang Shuo, you stop!" She's getting married to someone else, what else do you want? Do you still want to dig into the corners of people's walls? This is immoral. ”
Zhang Shuo stopped, then waited for a while and said, "Then you can't say that!" It's like I won't let her come. ”
Akso replied, "Are you really happy to let her come over?" Every time I come over, be happy, she goes back, and what she returns to you is only dozens of times more pain. The long pain is not as good as the short pain, it is painful now, and the wound will slowly heal in the future, and it will not be painful. ”
Zhang Shuo thought for a while, it seemed like this. It was impossible for him to dig into Yang Cheng's corners again, although every time he especially wanted to see Qiu Yue. It is indeed as Akso said, the surprise every time we meet, and when I go back, I miss dozens of more thoughts, this kind of pain. It's really not humanly human!
Seeing him like this, Axol knew that he was thinking seriously about his words, and then said, "Although you don't like me, I like you very much!" You can try to get along with me. If you don't think it's suitable, we can separate again. In our big stone country, girls don't squirm, they like to admit generously, and go brave to pursue. If you can't get it, find a way to make yourself better. Wouldn't it be nice if you couldn't ask for it in the end, and you wouldn't have any regrets? ”
Zhang Shuo didn't answer, and said after a while: "Akso, thank you." But now is not the time, I haven't thought about accepting another relationship, and it's not fair to you, so when I think about it, you can come to me again! I've been very busy lately, and when I'm busy for a while, when the Holy God gives me leave, I'll think about it seriously, and I don't have time to think about it now. ”
"It's okay, I'm willing to wait," Akso said. We are friends now, and slowly we are confidants, and then we ......" and laughed happily before I finished speaking
Zhang Shuo said: "Miss Akso, I really didn't think about this. I'm very busy right now, can you stop bothering me? ”
Akso said: "I came to you to talk to you, to meet, and I was not in a hurry to ask for an answer." You don't have to pay attention to me, just go about your affairs as usual. It's too late today, I'll go back first, you don't have to send it. ”
After Qiuyue left, the more I thought about it, the more unwilling I became, in the past, Zhang Shuo would always chase after him to explain, but now he didn't even have an explanation. What a heartbreak!
She walked slowly down the street, waiting, Zhang Shuo would hurry, as usual, to come over and say something warm to her. He had never said anything serious about himself. But she walked far away, and still didn't hear footsteps, she knew that Zhang Shuo would not chase after her, so she had to recall the speed and return to the palace.
At this time, Akso caught up and sneered: "Isn't Miss Qiuyue lost?" It's been so long to walk so far? ”
Qiu Yue only replied: "It has nothing to do with you." Then he quickened his pace and walked forward.
Akso said: "I really don't understand, since you don't love him, why do you keep appearing in front of him? If you let it go, you won't dwell on it anymore, okay? ”
Qiu Yue said angrily: "I didn't pester him, my contact with him is a matter in the palace, not a private matter." Unlike you, who pesters him every day. ”
Akso said: "Please tell me about the affairs in the palace, in addition, Miss Qiuyue, please make it clear, I am not pestering him, I am pursuing him, do you understand?" If I like him, I'll fight for it clearly. Sooner or later, he will be mine. ”
Qiu Yue replied: "The matter between you has nothing to do with me, you don't need to tell me this." ”
Akso said: "That's good, please maintain this attitude in the future, don't deliberately approach him on the grounds of palace affairs, and I'm done." Let's go," he said and walked in the other direction.
Qiu Yue looked at her and thought: What kind of people are there, angry with people. With his hand clenched tightly on the hilt of his sword, he walked angrily to the palace.
Karakoram Dark Cult. Since the last time Wanyue warned Yang Mubai, she no longer told some stories of sages, but only gags and funny stories of literati, which made these killers laugh every time they came to listen to it.
She also grew more and more respected by these killers in the Dark Cult.
There are a few smaller killers, influenced by the sage books, and they have become more and more eager to learn, and Yang Mubai has stopped preaching recently. This puzzled them.
After Yang Mubai finished teaching, he asked, "Mrs. Sun, why don't you tell the story of the sage now?" We all enjoyed listening to your previous lessons. ”
Yang Mubai just wanted to answer, but the other older killer said: "What's the use of those stories, it's boring." Now the story told by Mrs. Sun is much more interesting. It's weird that little kids like things. ”
One of the children said: "It is a story of a sage, how can it be boring, it can inspire people's fighting spirit, overcome fear, and bring infinite strength to people." ”
The older killer retorted, "Really? Since it can bring you infinite power, let's try to see if your sage story is powerful, or my sword is powerful. With that, he drew his sword, wanting to teach the smaller killer a lesson.
Another younger child said, "The story of the sage can also change people's minds, eliminate ignorance, and make people live more clearly." People like you will never understand that you have become accustomed to being a puppet. Your sword is fast, but I'm not afraid of you. ”
After saying that, he took a step forward, and the older killer was really angry, and he was actually taught a lesson by the little kids, even if he wanted to beat them to relieve his anger.
Yang Mubai saw that they were tense, so he said: "Okay, you are all here to listen to the class, you can't fight in class, stop it." ”
The two young children said, "Mrs. Sun, it's rude. Then he sat down in his place.
The older killer was holding the sword, embarrassed, and so angry that he had nowhere to go.
Yang Mubai said: "You also put away your sword, they are still young, you are older, don't worry about them!" When he heard this, he felt better, and he took away his sword, also for the sake of the waning moon. Then he glared at the two little killers fiercely and walked away angrily.
Yang Mubai patiently said to them: "I'm about to give birth, and now my body is becoming more and more inconvenient, I'm afraid I won't be able to teach anymore in the future." So, tell some light-hearted stories now, and you can just listen to them as stories. If the deeds of the sages that have been spoken of before are beneficial to you, keep them in your hearts, and if they are not, forget them. ”
There was a look of pity in the eyes of those children. One of them said: "What Mrs. Sun said, we take to heart, it is of great benefit to us, and it will not be forgotten for the rest of our lives." ”
Other young children also chimed in: "Yes, Mrs. Sun's teaching is more beneficial than what the master teaches." It made us understand what it means to be alive."
Yang Mubai would be a little scared, if this word reached the left and right protectors, then he would pay it back, and immediately said: "Those are all in the book, and you won't say it in the future, okay?" In the past few days, I will still teach you to learn characters, so that you can understand the secret books and secret orders of martial arts, which is my responsibility. ”
Although the children regretted in their hearts, they had to agree: "We obey Mrs. Sun." ”
