(17) Besieging the palace of the Qiang king
"Hahaha, Xu Qiangluo, Xu Qiangluo, he really deserves to be my good son, he can kill me in my bedroom quietly, it is really ruthless."
King Qiang coughed a few times as he spoke, looked at Xu Qiangluo, who was quite proud in front of him, and finally couldn't hold back the breath in his heart, spurted a mouthful of blood, leaned on the edge of the collapse and continued: "You know how to use the people's hearts, and even seeking power and usurping the throne can be said to be to eliminate harm for the people, and you really don't take my father in your eyes at all." ”
"It's a pity that you, father, have long been riddled with evil diseases, but I'm afraid that you are weak. Instead of delaying time with his sons here, it is better to obediently hand over the seal of King Qiang so that he can enjoy the blessings. ”
Xu Qiangluo said while asking people to come to search for the seal of the king of Qiang, and after some searching, he did not find the seal of the king of Qiang, so he stepped forward and put a sword against the neck of the king of Qiang, and said, "Where is the seal of the king of Qiang?" ”
At this moment, there was a sound of weapons fighting outside, and just as Xu Qiang was in a trance, a dart quickly broke the sword in his hand, and at the same time, the person at the window quickly stepped forward to stop the knife he wanted to go down again.
Xu Qiangluo took a few steps back, and after seeing that everyone in the room was killed by the coming Xizhou, he looked at Xu Qiangning in front of him with suspicion on his face, and said, "How did you come out?" Father actually gave you Ruoqiang's protector. ”
He knows the military strength of the Qiang State best, General Li's subordinates actually surrendered to him, and there is only the army guarding the Qiang Palace, at this time, Xu Qiangning can still lead troops to surround him here, and it can only be the protector army guarding the Ruoqiang border, but he didn't expect his father to gamble on the safety of the people of the whole Qiang Kingdom to help Xu Qiangning crusade against him, sure enough, the father's favor was given to this sick man.
"My father is really partial, you have spoiled him since he was a child, and even the name given to him as the king is the prince of Qiang, and there is only a word difference between you, since you have never thought of passing on the throne of the king of Qiang to me from the beginning, why bother to test my strategy? I am afraid that you asked me to help deal with the affairs of the DPRK and China before, I am afraid that it was just to appease me, so that I could not go to Ruoqiang to sabotage the good thing of his handover with the Protector Army, right? ”
After hearing this, King Qiang slapped his hand heavily on the edge of the collapse, his eyes were angry, and his mouth was so angry that he shook out the sentence "Rebel" and spurted blood.
Seeing this, Xu Qiangning immediately stepped forward to support King Qiang, saw him shake his hand, turned his head to look at Xu Qiangluo and said angrily: "Why do you misunderstand your father in everything, your father has always cultivated you as the heir of the Qiang Kingdom, although your father did not say this, but you also know it." Rather, my former personable, modest and courteous brother...... Where did it go? ”
"But in the end, my father still chose you."
Xu Qiangning was about to step forward to say something, but he was grabbed by King Qiang's hand and shook his head, and I didn't know what was going on outside, the door was kicked open, General Li put the knife on Luo Xiaoxi's neck, looked at the people inside and said: "Xu Qiangning hand over King Rong, otherwise your medicine will be gone, and there will be nothing that can cure you if you have a heart disease." ”
King Qiang looked at Xu Qiangning anxiously and asked, "Ning'er, do you have that thing with you?" ”
"Atonement for the Father's Sins"
In this way, King Rong was able to escape from the palace of King Qiang, and General Li, who was holding Luo Xiaoxi hostage, was shot by Furong who was lurking in the shadows because he was escorting King Rong to escape, and he also fled to the city of King Qiang in a panic, and Xu Qiangning sent troops to arrest him.
When Luo Xiaoxi finally felt that her life was safe again, this Qiang King actually wanted to summon her alone, and she was really afraid of something. At the beginning, she Xu Qiangning was locked in a place with only a small window, but she was broken, but since she was no longer tied, she had the opportunity to escape there, just as she and Xu Qiangning were about to escape, Xizhou came to report, saying that King Rong was trying to force the palace.
After hearing this, Xu Qiangning planned to make a plan, he knew that his father and the emperor of the Central Plains had a personal relationship, so he asked the king of Qiang to send Furong to protect himself to the palace of the king of Qiang to ask the king of Qiang to transfer troops, but this army did not listen to the seal of the king of Qiang, and the palace of the king of Qiang must be full of Xu Qiangluo's eyeliner, which was even more difficult to conceal from the people in the palace and take the seal of the king of Qiang out of the city of Qiang to transfer to Xizhou to transfer troops.
Luo Xiaoxi knew that King Rong was a cautious person, and felt that Xizhou must have been followed by someone sent by King Rong, so the matter of taking the seal of King Qiang to transfer troops must not let Xizhou go, but should let Furong go, of course, the task of sneaking into the palace of King Qiang to steal the seal of King Qiang naturally fell on her thief Xi.
Therefore, how can I say that she is also a great hero, King Qiang will not do anything to her, maybe there will be a reward.
"The Folk Girl Meets the King of Qiang"
"I never thought that if the famous thief of Qiang City was you Luo Xiaoxi, you could open the secret room, steal the seal of the Qiang King, and at the critical moment, you can still top half of the military division, tonight's matter, I will be rewarded for meritorious deeds."
"The people's daughter thanked the king of Qiang"
It's really a reward, it seems, it's not in vain that she ventured over the wall that night to find the King of Qiang to ask for the seal of the King of Qiang, if she is a man, how to say that she is also a great hero of the Qiang country, and the gold and silver treasures, fields and houses are not a problem.
King Qiang on the couch took a long breath after speaking, looked at Luo Xiaoxi who was kneeling on the ground and said: "But the most important thing is that Ning'er's shakuhachi fell into your body, which has become Ning'er's weakness, the more important you are to Ning'er, the more vulnerable he is to the threat of others." ”
"So, King Qiang, what do you mean ......"
"Since this shakuhachi can fall into your body, then there will definitely be a way to take it out, I heard that the half-cultivated monk of Ruoqiang City is the real half-immortal, maybe he can help you take the shakuhachi out."
Luo Xiaoxi raised his head in shock, got up and looked at the emotionless face, pulled over a chair and sat down, frowned and said, "I'm afraid that King Qiang not only sent Furong to protect Prince Qiang in the palace, but even he has to take care of him anytime and anywhere when he goes out...... Xizhou was also sent by the King of Qiang to protect the King of Qiang. ”
On March 3, she saw a white-clothed half-cultivator that night, she had secretly returned to the broken temple to find a half-repair, although she had a good light skill, but it was a delicate body, every once in a while she had symptoms of general weakness, but whenever she appeared signs of weakness in the body, semi-cultivation would drive her back to the broken temple on time, while looking at the Buddha statue with her hands folded very reverently, muttering something on her lips, and when he finished chanting, she turned around.
Therefore, she dared to conclude that Banxiu was definitely not an ordinary mortal.
"Banxiu, it's okay for you to deceive Xu Qiangning with your nonsense, but you can't deceive me Luo Xiaoxi," Luo Xiaoxi looked at Banxiu, who had just come out to eat violently, and tapped the desk with his fingers on his waist with one hand and the other, "Shakuhachi, do you have a way to take it out...... Hey, don't rush back to me yet, in front of the Buddha statue of Amitabha, tell me sincerely and without lying, can you take out the shakuhachi in the palm of my hand? ”
"Xiaoxi, okay, now I will use the name of my Buddha to suppress the poor monks," Banxiu put down the dishes and chopsticks, and after eating a piece of pastry in his mouth, he wiped his hands on his clothes and put his hands together, "Ani Buddha Buddha, you are missing this shakuhachi to be weak after a while, and now this shakuhachi has returned to your body by mistake, and the donor should be grateful for the compassion of my Buddha." If the donor forcibly takes out the shakuhachi...... It is like withdrawing one's spiritual consciousness from the flesh alive, and the suffering is worse than the heartbreak. ”
Luo Xiaoxi was stunned when she heard this, isn't this shakuhachi Xu Qiangning's personal belonging, when did it become hers. But although Banxiu is vague on weekdays, this time he said it so truly, it is not true.
"Who?"
She was already worried about this matter, and this place was remote and desolate, and others avoided it for fear of encountering something, and it was really rare for someone to eavesdrop on the roof this time. However, when she jumped onto the roof through the big hole in the room, she saw a figure vigorously climbing over the wall.
This figure looks a little similar to Xizhou, but she has no evidence and can't talk nonsense, and when she returns to the Yunlai Inn and sees that the soles of Xizhou's shoes occupy a unique piece of wet loess, she dares to be sure that the person on the house is Xizhou. At that time, she felt that she was very unworthy of suffering for Xu Qiangning, if Xu Qiangning dared to confront her, she would be vague, anyway, Banxiu didn't say if he could take out the shakuhachi, if he really did the thing, he didn't blame her for forcing her to die. In this way, she didn't take the initiative to debunk it, but Xu Qiangning didn't take the initiative to talk to her about it, and she gradually forgot about it.
Now, as soon as the Qiang King opened his mouth, he said Banxiu, it seems that Xizhou was sent by the Qiang King to Xu Qiangning's side, it was really for Xu Qiangning to oppress her as a civilian, no wonder Xu Qiangluo would rebel, such a shrewd and hateful person would be dissatisfied with anyone.
King Qiang looked at this Luo Xiaoxi who dared to be so presumptuous, she must have understood what he meant, and she didn't reprimand her, but just smoothed it out, and said, "Girl, you are really smart." I don't care what you think about Ning'er, you have to take out the shakuhachi and return it to Ning'er, and then leave the Qiang country, as for the three children you adopted, I will send someone to take care of them. ”
Hearing this, if she disagrees, the high Qiang king in front of her will take the stone and cut them. Presumably, at this time, the stones, carp and aquatic plants have been surrounded by the people of the Qiang King.
"Even so, I don't have a choice."
"It's a pleasure to talk to smart people, Furong will take you back to Ruoqiang tonight, and tomorrow I will release the news that the thief stole the seal of the king of Qiang, if you dare to go to the Qiang country...... You should know what the consequences are. ”
Before Ning Er didn't fall deeper and deeper into this woman, it was better to break it off as soon as possible. This Luo Xiaoxi is not only a thief, but also has the ability to reconcile with the organs, and he is on par with Luo'er in terms of intelligence, and the voice of the market is a little more clever, if such a person stays by Ning'er's side, not only will it become Ning'er's weakness, if Ning'er wants to take over the Qiang country, Luo Xiaoxi may be in control of the government, and Ning'er may be hurt by her, so, in order to avoid all this, he said that he would send this undetermined scourge away.
"I, Luo Xiaoxi, are not stupid enough to let the whole country arrest me, it's just that it's good for the stones and water plants to be self-reliant in the Banju Tavern, and the King of Qiang doesn't have to send someone to go there, just secretly inform the officials of Ruoqiang City, and come to take care of the business when he has time."
Luo Xiaoxi got up as he spoke, and when he saluted and turned around to leave, he suddenly stopped and turned around and asked, "Also, the reward given by King Qiang to the people's daughters has been prepared?" ”
"Don't worry, let Furong prepare and put it in the carriage, it is enough for you to have a worry-free life in the Central Plains."
"In this way, the folk girl thanked the king of Qiang."
So, while Xu Qiangning was busy dealing with things, Furong sent Luo Xiaoxi out of the Qiang Palace in a carriage loaded with gold and silver treasures, and drove all the way in the direction of Ruoqiang.
