CHAPTER XLVI

At night, the lights of the Shu Palace are brighter than ever, and the open palace banquet and the characteristic customs of Bashu make even Duguqing, who has lived in Bashu for ten years, breathtaking.

Because the dance music was too cheerful and noisy, she raised her voice next to Percy and asked, "Honey, have you ever seen this style?" ”

Poxi didn't let go of playing like Duguqing, she smiled and shook her head to indicate that she hadn't seen it. The characteristics of the Bashu ethnic group are indeed fascinating. Everyone drank happily, and everyone was happy. Only Poxi secretly thought that since she entered the area of the Shu Palace, such a large mountain and forest peak, she couldn't sense the existence of mountain and forest beasts.

Usually, as long as the distance is not far, she can sense the existence of fierce beasts at any time, but there are no fierce beasts around the Shu Palace, only ordinary birds and beasts, how can there be no fierce beasts in such a dense mountain area? Could it be that because it is the place where the king of Shu lives, the beasts have been driven out and killed?

Towards the end, the king of Shu got up, toasted to everyone and said: "Confucius said, there are friends from afar, very happy, our Shu palace is now such a distinguished guest, this king is not too glorious, the night is deep, in order not to let the distinguished guests too tired, after drinking this glass of wine, we dance around the bonfire, after making a perfect end for this banquet, each go back to the room to rest." ”

After finishing speaking, he drank the wine first, walked to Poxi, stretched out his hand and invited: "Xiaoxi girl, in our Shu land, dancing around the bonfire is a blessing and luck, can you enjoy your face and dance together?" ”

Liu Chang was stimulated and almost jumped up, but he didn't expect Dugu Qing to refuse one step ahead of him: "The King of Shu is right, but although the folk customs in Bashu are open, my sister is from the Central Plains, and she pays attention to whether men and women give or receive kisses, and the dance must start, but it is better to ask the King of Shu to take your beauty, I see that your beauty's eyes are about to eat my house Poxi." After speaking, he glanced at the stunning woman next to the seat of the King of Shu. The King of Shu frowned and looked at his beloved concubine, and the woman hurriedly lowered her head and pretended to drink.

Duguqing was a little unhappy when she saw the King of Shu, but she didn't care, and directly took Poxi's hand and said, "King Shu, what are you waiting for, go and lead your beauty, let's play the bonfire dance together." ”

The King of Shu is not only unhappy now, but also a little uncomfortable. Duguqing ignored the uncomfortableness of the King of Shu, turned his head and said to Liu Chang: "Liu Chang, quickly, take your niece's hand, let's play together!" ”

Liu Changluo got up and took Poxi's hand, and told the King of Shu that there was nothing wrong with him. Poxi was naturally not happy to be held by the King of Shu, so Duguqing and Liu Chang pulled her to the bonfire, waiting for everyone to hold hands and play this ancient bonfire game together.

Duguqing took Po Xi's hand and whispered something in Po Xi's ear excitedly, and suddenly his other hand was held. She turned her head and saw that it was Feng Daicheng. She looked at the people who had already formed a circle again, and it seemed inappropriate to shake off Feng Daicheng's hand, so she simply let him hold it indifferently. Feng Dai admitted that she was willing to let him hold her, although he was a little surprised, but the ripples in his heart became more and more dense. He had a premonition, and subconsciously wanted to reject it, but his hand was reluctant to let go.

And Xuanyuan Daokang found that he had no chance to dance with Duguqing because he had just gone to the toilet and came back, so he had no idea of playing together, and continued to sit and drink stuffy wine, looking at Duguqing's smiling bright eyebrows and eyes and secretly sad.

Soon, the people of Shu began to sing and dance, and those who couldn't sing could only move around the bonfire with their legs kicking.

The King of Shu was not interested, so he sat back in his seat and watched the cheers of the crowd. The beauty next to him saw that his face was normal and not unhappy, so he stepped forward and poured him a glass of wine, looked at him deeply with his big eyes, picked up his wine glass and said with a delicate smile: "Wang, Luo Ji respects you, I haven't seen Wang for more than half a month, Luo Ji... Missed you so much. ”

The king of Shu picked up her chin, gently stroked her delicate face, and said with infinite tenderness: "This king misses you too, and this king will be with you all night tonight." After speaking, he lowered his head and kissed Luo Ji's forehead. Luo Ji's face was happy, feeling the cold lips of the King of Shu, when Mo Shangxuan couldn't see it, her smile disappeared, and she didn't see Mo Shangxuan's eyes that became ruthless.

The palace banquet was finally over, and everyone was so tired that they were about to collapse, but they were satisfied. Poxi didn't like to be lively, but seeing that everyone was happy, she was inconvenient to pour cold water, and it was rare for her to join the "carnival party" that Duguqing said.

The two said hello to the King of Shu and then said goodbye and returned to the pavilion arranged by the King of Shu to rest. When they arrived at the pavilion, they saw Feng Daicheng standing at the door, as if they were waiting for them, so he sent the subordinates who led the way to leave and looked at Feng Daicheng.

Feng Daicheng didn't wait for them to come, he approached Duguqing first and said, "I have something to tell you." ”

Poxi smiled, let go of Duguqing's hand and said with a smile: "Sister Qing, I'll go in first, you can talk." Then he went into the pavilion.

After Poxi left, Dugu Qing didn't speak, just looked at Feng Daicheng, Feng Daicheng looked at her accustomed to Nu Mouth, she only felt frowned when she saw it before, but now although she doesn't want to admit it, she feels cute.

"I'll just say that I didn't grab those iron ore and dansha. I will pay you back the money you lose. After speaking, he was expressionless and ready to leave.

"What do you mean?"

Feng Daicheng stopped, didn't look back, and said, "Didn't you say that losing money makes your flesh hurt?" ”

"The pain is also my meat, why are you bothering?"

"I don't take advantage of women?"

"Take advantage or not, you know in your heart that even if you pay me back the money I lost, my goods will still disappear out of thin air, and I will still lose money. Where did you go, the son really doesn't know? Since he mentioned it himself, Duguqing is not afraid to say it to the bottom of the story.

Feng Daicheng couldn't help but turn to look at her and said, "I said, the goods are not my hands and feet, believe it or not." The money is in the other goods that the Feng family bought from the Dugu family in the future, and add the price until you add enough money to you. But you don't have to go any further, or you'll ....... ”

"Otherwise what?"

"Anyway, you just have to know that you have nothing to lose, and don't get too close to your so-called sister, she... It's not something you can afford to provoke. ”

"I don't care if you tell me not to provoke anyone, although I don't know why you say that, but she, I've already provoked her."

Feng Daicheng heard her say so categorically, his fists clenched in the dark, and there was an indescribable sense of lack in his heart, but he was helpless.

The two looked at each other, and neither of them spoke again, Duguqing actually felt in his heart that Feng Daicheng's attitude towards her was a little different from the past. If everyone gets along with each other just for simple business dealings, Duguqing actually appreciates Feng Daicheng. It's just that since Feng Daicheng met her, every time she met and talked about something, her words were sarcastic, which made her very unhappy.

"You're doing it yourself!" After Feng Daicheng finished speaking, he took a deep look at her and left.

Duguqing returned to the room and saw Perxi amusing the three tiger cubs. remembered that Feng Daicheng said that Poxi was not something she could provoke, did this mean that Feng Daicheng knew who Perxi was?

"Perry Creek, um... Can I ask you a question? ”

It was rare for Poxi to look at Duguqing's somewhat serious expression, so he let go of the tiger boy, got up and pulled Duguqing to sit down together, and said, "Sister Qing just asks, I know everything." ”

Dugu Qing was about to say something, the three tiger cubs suddenly became violent, Po Xi made a forbidden gesture to Dugu Qing, comforting the tiger cubs, and after the tiger cubs quieted down, she deliberately raised her tone and said: "The King of Shu is really hospitable, thoughtful greetings, if Sister Qing does business with the King of Shu, it should be relatively relaxed, Sister Qing may wish to think about it." ”

Duguqing looked at Poxi's smiling face, and replied with a smile: "My dear thinks so too, then what else do I consider, that piece of golden silk nanmu, I can't cut it even if I buy it for a hundred years, and the king of Shu is so kind and generous, but I take a lot of advantage of it, hehe." Dugu Qing Dynasty Poxi blinked, indicating that she understood.

Then, the two talked for a while, all of which were inconsequential topics, until Poxi sensed that the tiger cubs were really relaxed, and then she explained to Bai Yang and Bai Xing: "Go, you go and see if there is anything fun outside, go to the forest to find some food you like, and bring some back to your sister by the way." ”

The brothers Shirahoshi and Shirayo let out a low whimper and jumped out of the window and went down the attic. After Po Xi hugged the white stars and watched them disappear into the night, he looked back at Dugu Qing and said, "It seems that the King of Shu is impatient to strike first." ”

"Someone was eavesdropping on our conversation, right?"

"Well, these brothers and sisters are full of aura for three nights, there are people approaching, they are the most sensitive, I guess except for the people sent by the King of Shu, there is no one else."

"Speaking of which, there is something very strange, Feng Daicheng probably saw that I was suspicious of him, and he said that the goods were not his hands and feet. It doesn't look like a lie, otherwise he wouldn't have had to make it clear to me. ”

"Because Feng Daicheng is directly under the orders of the King of Shu, we all have preconceived ideas that Feng Daicheng robbed the iron ore and dansha. In this way, it may be the king of Shu who robbed the goods. However, even if it was not done by Feng Daicheng, it was the decision of the King of Shu in private, and Feng Daicheng took the initiative to deny it, wouldn't it be easier to expose the plan of the King of Shu? "Po Xi felt full of doubts, is this Feng Daicheng friend or foe?

"Whoever did it, there's nothing wrong with them stealing it. However, this is indeed the case, no matter how much Feng Daicheng wants to prove himself, he should not let the King of Shu increase the chance of exposure. Why did he rush to find out to me, and he didn't want to see me in the first place, so naturally he shouldn't care what I thought of him. ”

Po Xi looked at Dugu Qing with a puzzled face, and smiled secretly in his heart, others may not know, but Feng Daicheng's eyes when he looked at Dugu Qing were almost the same as the eyes of Brother Zheng looking at himself. Therefore, Poxi can be sure that Feng Daicheng actually likes Sister Qing, but Sister Qing can't see through it herself.

The bell must be tied to the bell, and Perxi is not thorough, let them go with the flow! So Po Xi simply diverted the topic and said: "We can't sort out these things today, and we will be troubled tomorrow." However, didn't Sister Qing just say that she had something to ask me, what was the matter? ”

"Oh, well~ actually, it's nothing, it's just ...... My dear, who are you? Can I know? ”

Po Xi looked at Dugu Qing fixedly, blinked his eyes twice, and said without hesitation: "I am actually the queen of King Qin Yingzheng." ”

"Qin ~ Qin ~ Qin King ~ Queen of Winning Politics?" Dugu Qing's eyes widened, and he was so shocked that he couldn't speak, and even his brain stopped. Meng swallowed a mouthful of saliva and confirmed again: "You... Are you the queen, the queen of the Qin Kingdom? ”

No wonder, no wonder Liu Chang said every day that she picked up a big bargain, and she nagged in her ear every day not to shout that Perxi shouted too intimately, it turned out that there was a reason. The "dear" she shouted was Qin Shihuang's "dear", so Ying Zheng listened to it and had to pick her skin? The thought that she might have offended Ying Zheng sent a chill down her spine!!

"Well, I'm sorry, I haven't told Sister Qing the truth, first, Sister Qing didn't ask, and second, I couldn't find the right time for myself, and when my sister asked today, I felt that I was just right for Sister Qing's guilt."

"Wow, let me slow down first, this is too exciting." Dugu Qing slowly slowed the speed of his heartbeat and then asked: "Then why don't you stay by King Qin's side, stay in the foolproof King Qin's palace, why did you come to this remote Bashu thousands of miles away, if you just find out the truth about your mother's death, this matter King Qin can help you solve it at any time, why do you want to take the risk yourself?" ”

Duguqing looked at Po Xi with a worried face, and when it came to the adventure, she suddenly panicked and said hurriedly: "No, now we know that the King of Shu and the Feng family have the intention of rebelling, if they know your identity, you will be more dangerous, what should I do?" Dugu Qing's mind is now turning on how to take Poxi away from Shu as soon as possible, even if it is to return to Badi, and he can rest assured that he is trying to send her back to Qin as soon as possible. Otherwise, as long as Perxi is in Bashu for one more day, he is risking his life.

"Sister Qing, don't worry, have you forgotten that I have the ability to command all beasts? And Uncle and you, as long as we don't say it, they won't know who I am for a while. ”

"No, I don't think there's anything right. Also, didn't King Qin want to see you, so he ignored you and let you bring Liu Chang to Bashu? ”

"No, Brother Zheng loves me very much, I love him very much, I came by myself, I took the initiative to leave him, he tolerated all my willfulness!" Per Creek said, tears flowing.

Duguqing heard it, there was a secret in it that she didn't know, she stepped forward and hugged Poxi and comforted gently: "You will definitely see each other soon." ”

"I missed him so much that I promised him that I would come back to him in a year anyway. But now, there are so many problems here, and there is almost no clue about my mother's death, but I have found out the rebellious heart of the King of Shu, and I don't know if these are related to my mother's death. I'm so scared, I can't go back to Brother Zheng to accompany him as scheduled!! ”

"I'll find a way to help you, I'll check with you, what I have is money, we can't find it out ourselves, we'll spend money to find someone to check, and we can't find out if we find someone, let's not hold it up, find your favorite political brother to send troops, uproot the king of Shu, and then find out everything."

"Heh, then I'm going to make trouble for Brother Zheng in the end!" Perxi laughed at Dugu Qing's teasing tears.

"I'm telling you, it's not a problem, it's something he's going to solve. And men are meant to be relied on, you are too sensible, if my man is so capable in this era, I will definitely let him help me out directly, so that I will not be affected to toss myself. ”

"Sister Qing is lying, aren't you also relying on your own efforts to break out of your own world?"

"I'm different, I'm educated... Hey, anyway, I don't have such a powerful man to rely on, no way, I have to rely on myself, so I'm not afraid of rumors and rumors. ”

"Sister Qing loves your husband very much? Otherwise, how could you want to go with him? Poxi remembered that Duguqing became a widow because her husband died.

"Well, I can't talk about it, because I don't know him at all." It's a good thing that she passed away, otherwise she might have broken down even more. Although it is immoral to say this, she has no malice, and her so-called husband was not killed by her, and she also helped the Dugu family create so many mountains of gold and silver, which is simply inexhaustible, and it is worthy of him.

"Could it be that the matchmaker said that she got married without meeting?"

"Probably, I don't remember everything before I woke up, it was all said by my family, and I don't know if it's true or not."

"Then why die for him?"

"I probably thought that I would be widowed when I first got married, and I lost hope for the future, so I might as well die, right?"

"Sister Qing is so stupid!"

"It's not that I'm stupid, it's her...... Hey, don't talk about me, my affairs are settled, I will be who I am now, I will never die again, I have to live well, and I still have dreams that have not been realized. Dugu Qing sighed deeply, and remembered the question of whether he could go back to his original place.

"What dreams?"

"A dream that I am afraid will never come true...... Hey, okay, I'm not going to talk about it, and it's probably like this in the future. Why don't you tell me how you and your brother met and fell in love? Duguqing looked at Perxi lying beside him with a curious face, remembering the time when he and that person shared each other's secrets like this before.

When Poxi explained to Dugu Qing why he was not afraid of danger and had to go to Bashu to tell the ins and outs, the sky was already slightly bright. Po Xi, who was crying while talking, was probably tired and had fallen asleep peacefully.

Dugu Qing was more sober than ever, she didn't understand, why didn't any woman in history have been associated with him with such a unique winning government? If King Qin really has a queen who loves Poxi to the bone marrow, at least there should be a record of Poxi in later generations, why is there no record at all? How will this history develop? Because of the phrase "disaster destroys the country and destroys the world", is the ending of Perxi good or bad?

Duguqing began to wonder whether the true face of King Qin was a brutal and ruthless dictator as recorded in the history books, or was he a good king who loved the people like a son as Poxi said?

Duguqing sighed lightly, and looked out the window again, the transparent sky showed that today was another good day. It's just that why haven't the brothers Bai Yang and Bai Xing come back yet, are they overplaying?
