CHAPTER XXI
Perxi sat in the chariot, his fingers couldn't help touching his lips, remembering Ying Zheng's gentle kiss, and a flame rolling out of his heart reached the top of his head.
"Miss, are you not feeling well?"
Whispering found that Perxi was a little abnormal in the past two days, and always smiled inexplicably. Now too, a little blushing. Whispering uncomfortably, he poked his hand into Perxi's forehead, and there was no fever.
"Aunt whispering, I'm fine, it's just that I'm in a comfortable mood when I come out, and I'm just happier."
"It's okay, I'm going to enter the city soon. Madame is probably also anxious to wait for you to go back. ”
"Hmm." She remembered that Ying Zheng said that the day she came home would give her a chance to be a candidate to marry him. He told her not to be afraid if something happened, just trust him.
When they were about to arrive at the gate of the city east of Jinyang, the two horses with chariots suddenly barked, and then rushed directly into the city without control. Even the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate were startled, it was too late to stop them, and the chariots had already entered the city. The horses under the crotches of several soldiers escorted on horseback were also messed up, completely uncontrollable, and they hurriedly chased after them when they were under control. Because they did not accept the inspection according to the regulations, the officers and soldiers defending the city did not know what was wrong and hurried to chase after them.
The chariot that ran too fast made Perxi a little frightened, and her face turned pale in the whisper, and she hugged Perxi tightly, probably afraid that she would be hurt.
The people walking in the city hurried to avoid the runaway carriage. Perxi clung to the fixed beam in the car, scared in his heart, but felt that this was too sudden, so sudden that it seemed to be deliberately arranged. She has always been quick-witted, and she thought of what Ying Zheng said when they parted on the day they left: As long as Xi'er believes in me, I will be there no matter what happens.
Regardless of whether the carriage was out of control or not related to Brother Zheng, he said that he was there, then she believed that she would be fine.
It is not a big deal for a carriage to run out of control on the street, but what makes the common people overwhelmed is that a few people on horseback chase the carriage behind the carriage, and behind the riders there are more than a dozen or twenty officers and soldiers, just like a circus.
It would have been messy enough, who would have thought that there would be a horse-drawn carriage running on the other side of the street. Seeing that the two cars are about to collide together. Everyone stared wide-eyed, thinking that the people in the car would either be killed or injured by the collision.
However, when there was still some distance away, a majestic man came out of the car at the other end, and saw him jump, borrowing strength from the horse, and instantly arrived at the runaway carriage.
He got into the carriage, and the crowd heard a loud bang, and the carriage was kicked through. A woman was thrown out of the car and picked up by another man on the street. Then the man who had just gotten into the carriage flew away from the carriage with a young girl in his arms. As soon as it landed smoothly, the carriage overturned with the one in front. All four horses fell to the ground on their sides and were seriously injured, and both carts fell apart and were destroyed, affecting many stalls in the surrounding area.
Perxi gasped and clutched the person holding her, extremely relieved.
Suddenly, a group of people appeared in the streets. Soon the mess was cleared of the wagons and horses.
Gongsun Teng led his guards to kneel on the ground: "The king forgives the sin, the minister is late to save the driver, please punish the king." The guards who followed followed repeated Gongsun Teng's words in unison, and the angry voices gathered together, shocking the onlookers.
The man who was still holding the beautiful woman in his arms looked at Perxi gently, he didn't speak, but just waved his hand to signal them to get up.
"Is the girl alright?"
"......" Po Xi raised his eyebrows slightly: "I'm fine, thank you Gongzi for saving me." Percy pretended to react and pushed away the man who was holding her.
The crowd began to whisper, and the man looked like an extraordinary figure. These guards looked mighty and imposing, and they heard these people shouting for the king. Now everyone knows that the king of Zhao is over forty years old. But this man is young and handsome, and he is a king, who else can be the king of Jinyang if he is not the king of Qin.
Look at that woman again, the immortals are nothing more than that. A handsome and unparalleled, a delicate and beautiful man stands together, and it is a perfect match without any flaws.
Ying Zheng smiled slightly: "This king and King Zhao made an appointment to go out of the city for another autumn hunt, I don't know why today's horse suddenly went so crazy and almost hurt the girl." Please forgive me. ”
As he was talking, King Zhao's honor guard also came. King Zhao hurriedly got out of the car and walked towards Winning Zheng. Seeing Perxi beside Ying Zheng, he was shocked, he had just heard that Ying Zheng's car was out of control and ran away, and he was still worried about something. Seeing Percy present now was completely beyond his expectations.
Po Xi was also taken aback when he saw King Zhao, he hadn't seen his uncle for almost two years. I miss it a little bit, but it's a little worrying to see each other in this situation. Both her mother and uncle deliberately concealed her existence, and they kept it a good secret. At this moment, all the people in Jinyang saw her appearance, and if they wanted not to be known again, they might not be able to return to the sky. In this way, I wonder if my mother and uncle will blame her?
"Xi'er, ...... you?" King Zhao looked at Ying Zheng again: "King Qin, what's going on, are you injured?" ”
"King Zhao is at ease, except for the scrapping of the chariot, a few horses were injured, and no one was injured." Ying Zheng deliberately looked at Perxi: "However, King Zhao seems to know this girl." ”
“…… This is my niece, Per Creek. ”
"Oh......" Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows: "I didn't see it at the palace banquet, otherwise this king must remember such a beautiful woman." ”
"King Qin looks high, because Poxi is not suitable for lively occasions, so he ......"
"Ah, this king remembers, is the daughter of Princess Crane this girl?"
"Exactly."
After Po Xi silently saluted King Zhao, he didn't speak, and he had already returned to her to support her. Seeing that Ying Zheng pretended not to know her, he roughly guessed what Ying Zheng's purpose was from his questions and answers with King Zhao. In her case, everyone knew that it was impossible for Ying Zheng to reach her. If he wants to tell the world that he wants to marry her, then she must show her face in front of the world in order to be justified.
Ying Zheng knew in his heart that all this had disrupted King Zhao's thoughts, but in this case, King Zhao could only try to tell the truth. Win Zheng kept his expression that it was an accident. He glanced at a bearded man beside Meng Yi. The man met his gaze and nodded slightly.
I saw him walking unhurriedly towards Perxi, looking up and down Perxi with a look of study. Perxi was overwhelmed by what he saw, and the whispers on the side looked at him even more defensively, afraid of what he would do to Perxi.
He looked like a master who could see through everything, and said to Po Xi in a gentle voice: "Can the girl spread out her right palm for the villain?" ”
Perxi looked at Ying Zheng and saw him smiling at her. He looked at King Zhao again and found that King Zhao's brows were tightly furrowed, and he seemed to disagree, but it was difficult to refuse. This look-alike person was brought by Ying Zheng from the Qin State to help him choose a woman to marry.
After a little hesitation, Perxi spread out his right palm. The man reached out his hand to grab Perk's hand. Before he could catch it, he felt chills all over his body, and he looked at Ying Zheng, only to know that he was chilling because he was stimulated by the anger in Ying Zheng's eyes.
He reacted, and tried his best to put his hand behind his back as naturally, not daring to touch Perxi's hand, so he could only bend his body and keep his head slightly close to Perxi's hand. That look was as serious as studying the Book of Heaven.
Suddenly, the man turned around and knelt down in front of Ying Zheng: "Congratulations to the king, congratulations to the king, our Great Qin has found a perfect queen." This girl, without looking at the eight characters, can see that she and the king are a match made in heaven, and I am afraid that there is no other woman in the world who can match the king's life. ”
"Is that true?"
"It's true, the villain checks the list every day, and so far there is no suitable one, I thought that this trip to Zhao Guo was hopeless. I don't want it to be fate, don't be deliberate, God has his own arrangement, and the king himself met it. ”
"In that case, what does King Zhao think? Is this king ready to be hired? He deliberately looked at King Zhao with a happy face, and then looked at Perxi.
Po Xi met his gaze, shyly leaned close to whisper, seeing that King Zhao wanted to speak and stopped, she spoke: "Uncle, what's going on?" Why is Xi'er ......?"
"Xi'er, don't worry, Uncle asked someone to send you back first. Uncle will arrange this matter. ”
King Zhao's heart was already a little chaotic, and under the public, he could only maintain the calm of the king of a country. It's not as simple as it seems. Now that Poxi has been seen by the King of Qin, the people of the whole city have also witnessed everything, and the King of Qin has asked to marry Poxi in public. And looking at the appearance of King Qin, I am afraid that it is also inevitable.
Po Xi let King Zhao arrange to go home, giving others the feeling that she was innocent and unaware from beginning to end. She herself felt strange why she would have such a rebellious move to cooperate with Brother Zheng and keep her relatives in the dark. Could it be that her brother who loves politics is so duty-bound?
Ying Zheng didn't stay long, and told King Zhao to simply dispel the hunt and go back to discuss the marriage. Since he has found a suitable candidate, he must also prepare to return to Qin State as soon as possible, it is inconvenient to stay in Zhao State for too long.
King Zhao knew that Ying Zheng was hinting at him, and he didn't have time to wait until the marriage was confirmed as soon as possible. So King Zhao could only say that he would go back to the palace first to find his sister Wanhe to enter the palace to discuss, and then give him an answer.
After Ying Zheng returned to the palace with his own people, Liu Chang, who was not afraid of death, asked with a smile: "King, are you so full of joy now that you don't eat or drink?" ”
"Do you want to go three days and three nights without eating or drinking?"
"Hehe, the king, you can't scare me, this time I have a lot of merit, if you don't reward me, forget it, you can't punish me."
"You did this today?"
Although Meng Yi has always been strange, in the past two days, the king, Liu Chang and his brother Meng Tian have always left him aside to discuss something in private. Today's good horses are also inexplicably starting to run wildly.
"Hehe, then I also have a credit." Meng Tian also thickened his cheeks. He drove the chariot of Ying Zheng, and he did it to stab the horse unknowingly, causing the horse to lose control and run wild.
"What are you, if I hadn't gone to my master's overnight to find this treasure, our queen wouldn't have been snatched by the king so easily."
Liu Chang offered a treasure and took out a bronze whistle. This whistle was actually originally created by Baili Chou to control the thunder, but the thunder was not affected at all, but ordinary horses would go crazy when they heard it. Later, Baili Chou carefully built another whistle that could control thunder, and this one was thrown away as waste in the warehouse.
When Ying Zheng discussed with him that he planned to reveal the identity of the little fairy on the way back to the city, it was an accident to look like. Liu Chang, who has a lot of ghost ideas, remembers the incident of using this flawed whistle to tease those horses when he was a child. So there was the Perxi chariot out of control.
"So the old man can also invite some credit? I acted so much that I believed it. Xiangshi, who claimed that Poxi was the best choice for the queen of Qin, also looked at Ying Zheng with a blank eye, as if he was waiting for Ying Zheng to reward him with a lot of money.
"Xu Fu, you shameless person, anyone can say a few words that you don't have technical content, don't take yourself too seriously."
This person named Xu Fu wants to say that he is a charlatan, and he has a bit of a ability to fool people, and he can indeed calculate some things that others can't expect.
At first, he didn't disdain it, and until now he doesn't believe in those ghosts and gods. However, sometimes the administration will encounter the strong opposition of some old antique officials, if it is said that the divination of the Xiangshi needs to be done like this, it can be carried out in that way. After a few times, because it is a good reason to win politics, the effect is naturally good, as long as those old antiques feel inappropriate, this Xu Fu said it properly, and in the end, no one said anything. Ying Zheng also put this little old man by his side as a shield.
Ying Zheng looked at a few of them and ignored himself there, saying that he was really in a good mood. But he knew where he was. He can ignore the fact that his subordinates are too relaxed in front of him, but he can't get too carried away in front of them.
"Keep your mouth shut, don't give out half a word. I can indulge you no matter how big or small, but I will not tolerate you not doing what you should have done. ”
Everyone looked at each other, didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore, and kept their mouths shut when they knew the times. Win the government is loose and moderate, no more harsh criticism, let them all go down. Leave Meng Yi alone: "You look for an opportunity to contact Guo Kai, he is an important minister of King Zhao, and his words have weight." You properly remind Guo Kai that this king has identified the little princess of Poxi, and she has no intention of marrying any other Zhao woman. If the king does not get his wish, the marriage fails. ”
Although Meng Yi didn't know the reason here, he knew that this was an imperative order from Ying Zheng, and his task was to meet Ying Zheng's needs. Without any doubt, he took the order and went.
