Chapter 26: The Uninvited
However, after Prince Han left the tearoom first, Sima Jingling was still sitting in the tearoom and did not leave.
After a while, the door of the tea room was pushed open, and a person walked in.
Sima Jingling didn't raise her head and said to the person who came: (Still in Kawen, look at it slowly, it's okay to raise, don't worry)
"Bengong is still thinking, after hearing the news that Bengong has returned from Beiao, don't rush to go to the palace to see Bengong, forget it, Bengong has come to the tearoom in person, you haven't even come to see Bengong, do you already have other thoughts in your heart, Wang Lang."
Wang Lang closed the door behind him, and after listening to Sima Jingling's words, he knelt down towards Sima Jingling.
He lowered his head and said to Sima Jingling:
"Your Highness has the grace to save the lives of my Wang family, and I have the grace of appreciating Changwu, how could Changwu have other thoughts.
Even if it wasn't for myself, for my eldest brother, and for the sake of the entire Wang family, I Changwu would not do such a thing.
The reason why Changwu didn't come to see His Highness for a long time was mainly because Changwu had recently discovered some people who were following Changwu, and only when His Highness came to the tearoom, Changwu had the opportunity to meet His Highness.
However, Changwu is indeed late, please forgive your highness. ”
"That's it, get up." Sima Jingling didn't say anything more to Wang Lang, but put down the teacup in her hand, then picked up the Jinpa placed on the side to wipe her hands, and asked Wang Lang lightly,
"You said someone was following you recently, did you find out what the origin was?"
After Wang Lang got up from the ground, he did not go to sit down opposite Sima Jingling, but directly knelt down at Sima Jingling's lower hand position.
He thought about it carefully, and his face was already calm and steady, completely different from the lively and wanton appearance before.
He frowned and shook his head at Sima Jingling, then replied:
"I'm sorry, but the minister didn't do a good job, and he didn't find out where that group of people came from.
However, that group of people should not be ordinary people, the minister suspects which family or royal family raised the dead, they are very skilled, and they are also very good at tracking and concealing, and ordinary people can't even feel their existence.
If it weren't for the time when the minister went to buy something, the store was a little remote, and the minister wouldn't have been able to detect them. ”
Sima Jingling tapped the tea case with her fingers, not only did she not show any serious expression on her face, but on the contrary, she also raised the corner of her mouth, looking very happy.
"It seems that this wolf cub selected by Bengong himself is not too stupid. It is really quite good to be able to make people like Taiwei feel at ease to hand over these people to him in such a short period of time. ”
"Too ...... Too, too captain? ”
After Wang Lang heard the word "Taiwei" from Sima Jingling's mouth, he was really a little surprised.
Oh no, it should be said that it was not just surprised, but frightened.
It was only at this time that Sima Jingling could see a little bit of familiarity in Wang Lang.
Sima Jingling smiled softly and turned the cup on the tea table around, as if what came out of her mouth was not something that anyone would sound very terrible about.
"Yes, Wang Lang, you don't have to doubt your ears, this palace is talking about Taiwei, the person who was obviously still in the capital recently, but said that he was sick and couldn't go to court."
"But, but ......" Wang Lang was still incredulous, and accompanied by great doubts,
"But what is the reason for this, Captain? Why did he follow the minister, and who is the person you said about getting the help of the Tai Lieutenant, Your Highness? What the hell is going on? ”
Sima Jingling didn't play with the cup in her hand anymore, but put the cup on the tea table upright, and finally turned around, turned her head to look at Wang Lang, and said to her:
"I've been doing 'dark web' intelligence work for so long, haven't you figured out the current situation, Lord Wang?
There is no doubt that the news you have received now is true, and the person who is following you is most likely the same person.
If it was really him, with his own strength, he would not be able to summon such a level of dead guards in such a short period of time. So all in all, there is only one possibility, and that is that the Taiwei helped him secretly.
Hongu has never been able to guess the Taiwei's thoughts, and now that the Taiwei has moved, it can be regarded as a good thing.
Otherwise, Hongu really doesn't know if the next plan will go smoothly. ”
Wang Lang was silent, but it was indeed as Sima Jingling said, he was indeed working continuously, and he felt the unusual situation recently.
Because there was turmoil in Beiao at this time, he collected a lot of news from Beiaoguo during that time, and then from some news over there, he vaguely noticed something unusual.
For example, at a time like this, even if it has not endangered the Southern Imperial Kingdom, there should be an atmosphere in the country where everyone is in danger.
But the reality is that after the country simply discussed the matter of not participating in Beiao, there was no news about Beiao's side, as if they didn't pay attention to the changes in the situation on Beiao's side, and they weren't afraid that something uncontrollable would happen on Beiao's side, and then it would affect their Nanyuguo.
In this way, even those who are as dull as Wang Lang can perceive the unusualness of this.
It's just that Sima Jingling was not in the Southern Imperial Kingdom at that time, and he didn't want to think deeply about this kind of thing, so he never took this matter seriously.
It was when Sima Jingling was talking about it now that Wang Lang finally dared to admit that the recent situation in Nanyu was indeed a problem.
He opened his mouth, as if to ask something, but sighed again and gave up in frustration.
He felt that it was better not to ask too clearly about some things, anyway, even if it was clear, he didn't know what he could do, so he just listened to Sima Jingling's arrangement.
Sima Jingling knew what Wang Lang was worried about.
To be honest, although Wang Lang has grown a lot, the most commendable thing about him is his instinctive simplicity.
Although Sima Jingling likes to deal with some smart people very much, it is undeniable that sometimes it is really interesting to communicate with such honest people a few times and tease these honest people.
However, judging from the current situation, it may not be able to tease the "honest man" Wang Lang in front of him.
Sima Jingling couldn't help but sigh a little regretfully in her heart, and then said to Wang Lang very seriously:
"Although you may not be able to understand what this palace is going to say, if you want to survive the next series of chaos, and if you also want the remaining people of your royal family to be safely preserved, then you have to do exactly what this palace says.
In other words, in the next month, at most two months, the following tasks should be done.
One is to continue to be tracked as it is, and then leak some 'unnecessary' information when appropriate.
Second, contact your eldest brother Wang Meng, and ask him to find a way to contact the envoys of the Western Fan Kingdom who came for the princess of Xifan and Prince Han this time, so that he can take some of your royal family to the Western Fan Kingdom with the marriage team.
Then, you don't have to go back to Beijing, you can directly follow Prince Han's army and return to Prince Han's fiefdom.
For the sake of the face of the palace, Prince Han will not embarrass you.
The only thing that is more aggrieved is that Wang Lang, you can't leave the capital yet.
You have to wait for me to 'die' before you can leave." ”
"Shsh shh shh...... What the? ”
Wang Lang was shocked, and collapsed to the ground in a panic.
He couldn't believe what he had just heard, and the panic on his face was completely undisguised.
The door to the tea room was also suddenly pushed open.
Ah Pu directly exposed the fact that he was listening to Sima Jingling and Wang Lang talking outside the door, and then saw Sima Jingling sitting next to the tea case and Wang Lang, who was already frightened, and his rapid breathing finally calmed down.
He turned around in silence and closed the door of the tea room, then silently walked to Sima Jingling's side and sat down.
Wang Lang was also distracted by Ah Pu who suddenly rushed in.
However, it was precisely because of Agui's unexpected move that his mind was cleared up a lot.
He immediately realized that Sima Jingling should not be the kind of person who is willing to accept his fate and go back to die if he says he will die, so what Sima Jingling just said should be a lie.
However, Sima Jingling can say such things, which means that Sima Jingling's situation is actually very dangerous, and it is not something that can be settled simply.
Sima Jingling glanced at Ah Pu with disgust, and then looked at Wang Lang's eyes suddenly, and knew that Wang Lang had already understood what she meant, so she didn't say anything more, and motioned for Wang Lang to leave first.
After all, her "death" will actually take a long time to happen, and the most important thing now is to happily participate in Prince Han's marriage with Princess Luo Lingyi of Xifan.
Wang Lang's highest growth is that he has learned to look at people's eyes.
In the current situation, at a glance, he knew that Sima Jingling and Ah Pu had something to say, so Wang Lang retreated very self-consciously and left the space to Sima Jingling and Ah Pu.
After Wang Lang left, Sima Jingling set her eyes on Ah Pu's body completely.
"What's wrong, scared? It's not that you don't know what this palace will do next, why are you still so calm and panicked and ran in?
Besides, you don't want to stay outside, and you actually eavesdrop at the door, Ah Hide, you are really used to being pampered and arrogant, and if you get some cheap from this palace, you must show it vividly.
What should you say to this palace? ”
Ah Pu pouted, and there was panic in his heart that he couldn't hide.
Although he thought in his mind that Sima Jingling would never die easily, after hearing the word "death", he still couldn't hide a huge sense of panic.
This is something he can't control with his reason.
Sima Jingling is actually not very suitable for such a situation.
At the wedding of Xie Qingyun and Liu Ru, she finally figured out what kind of decision she should make, but after all, habits can't be completely changed for a while and a half, so at first, she didn't realize the huge sense of panic in Ah Pu's heart.
But after she realized this problem and put herself in Ah Pu's shoes, she understood where Ah Pu's panic came from.
She patted Apu's back, and for the first time said to Apu in a tone full of sincere apologies:
"I'm sorry, Apo, I won't say that next time. No matter how well you and I understand each other and have the same heart, I won't just talk casually just because you know. ”
Ah Pu was stunned after listening to Sima Jingling's words, and then suddenly smiled brightly and gently at Sima Jingling.
This kind of Apu hit Sima Jingling's heart in an instant.
Sima Jingling seemed to recall the first time she saw Apu, and then found that Apu at this time lacked the sense of distance she had for the first time, and was a little more intimate, which made it easier for people to be tempted.
The two of them sat quietly for a while before getting up to leave.
Both of them clearly knew that from this moment on, the relationship between the two of them could be regarded as completely entering another level.
When the two of them left the tea room, they realized that it was actually noon outside.
The two of them felt that it was really inappropriate to return to the palace at this time, so they simply found a restaurant in the city to eat, but they didn't expect to meet Luo Lingyi here.
Luo Lingyi seemed to sit there with a sad face, not knowing what she was waiting for.
Seeing this, Sima Jingling and Ah Pu glanced at each other, and then walked over to greet Luo Lingyi and said:
"Lingyi, you are not with my fifth brother at this time, why are you sitting here alone, and you are still sighing sadly?"
Luo Lingyi was startled by Sima Jingling's sudden voice, and after seeing that it was Sima Jingling, she gently stroked her chest, and said to Sima Jingling as if complaining:
"Ah, Ling, why do you walk silently, it scares me to death.
Don't mention the big piece of wood, I heard that my father and the emperor sent envoys to attend the wedding of the two of us in the southern kingdom, so I have been nervous and don't know why to go.
I annoyed him, so I went out and walked around alone.
By the way, why are you here, with one, beautiful man. ”
Speaking of this, Luo Lingyi looked at Ah Pu who was behind Sima Jingling, then pulled Sima Jingling over, and whispered to Sima Jingling:
"Hey, Ah Ling, this beautiful man next to you this time has been by your side for a while, right? It's not for me to say, if you decide to settle down, take care of it, if you are still the same as before, then it's time to change people, save this beautiful man, and he will be tempted by you again, and he can't do without you. ”
Sima Jingling was a little surprised, she didn't expect Luo Lingyi to be able to worry about herself when she was worried.
So he smiled and patted Luo Lingyi's hand,
"You don't have to worry, I'm in my own hands. By the way, since I have met, I wish you a happy wedding in advance.
Of course, there is also the blessing that belongs to me Sima Jingling, that is, you will definitely live a peaceful, simple and happy life. ”
