Chapter 262: Breaking a Leg
After recuperating for a month's injury, Xiao Da finally limped to the ground.
"General."
"General."
Xiao Da nodded solemnly and went up to the palace wall to inspect.
But no matter where he goes, there are strange eyes behind him.
Thinking of the reason for all this, Xiao Da hated it so much.
Lv Kang! Lou Yan!
It's these two people who have caused him to lose face!
However, with the experience of the last time, he knew that he could no longer act recklessly. These ministers are accustomed to playing with intrigues and tricks, and they have to grasp the real handle before they can act.
There was a hurried sound of horses' hooves in his ears, and Xiao Da raised his eyes.
Got an urgent report? Did something happen?
In the field of vision, a big red horse came galloping towards the knight, Xiao Da recognized the flag hanging on the horse, and his brows were furrowed.
This is the Beixiang Army!
When he arrived at the palace gate, the knight rolled his saddle and dismounted, and shouted loudly: "The captain under the command of the king of Beixiang is ordered to ask His Majesty." ”
The general on duty immediately stepped forward to inspect it, and after confirming that it was correct, he reported to him.
Xiao Da looked at the documents and said, "The military situation in various places is reported, and there are its own rules. You can go to the military department, the general political department, and even the political affairs hall, how can your majesty see you if you want to see it? ”
The knight was sweating profusely, and replied with a fist: "General Xiao, this time I am not here for military intelligence. ”
Xiao Da raised his head: "Not for military intelligence?" ”
"Yes."
"If it's not military intelligence, you still dare to use an urgent report?" Xiao Da coldly threw back the paperwork, "Don't you Beixiang have any rules for doing things?" ”
"General Xiao!" The knight was so anxious that he sweated again, "This matter is more urgent than the military situation, the prince ordered, ordered me to tell Your Majesty in person, and please open the net!" ”
"Then you have to make it clear what happened, otherwise, it would be a dereliction of duty to let you in like this."
The knight couldn't do anything, so he stepped forward and whispered something.
Xiao Da looked at him in surprise.
The knight's face was full of helplessness, and he sighed in a low voice: "The prince can't help it, please ask General Xiao to open the net." ”
Xiao Da pondered for a moment and said, "Wait here!" ”
"Thank you, General Shaw."
Xiao Da entered the palace gate, walking faster and faster, and the more he thought about it, the more excited he became.
God help him!
Maybe he's found a handle to deal with the kid surnamed Lou.
……
The emperor listened to his report and asked in surprise: "Concubine Beixiang is missing?" ”
"Yes." Xiao Da replied, "That's what the envoy of Beixiang said, but according to the inference of the minister, it should not be missing, but leaving the fiefdom on his own." ”
"Oh?" The Emperor asked, "How?" ”
Xiao Da had already prepared to deal with it: "Concubine Beixiang is not an ordinary woman in the back house. After she was the Huo family, her family died in battle that year and was adopted in the palace by Emperor Yingzong. Later, he married Beixiang and went into battle in armor with men, and his prestige spread far and wide. It's so powerful, how can it disappear for no reason? ”
The emperor nodded: "I have indeed heard that the concubine of Beixiang will go into battle with her husband to kill the enemy. ”
Speaking of this, he frowned: "Then what does she want to do when she leaves the fiefdom without permission?" ”
Xiao Da smiled: "This, the minister can't guess." ”
The Emperor was silent.
It's not that he can't guess, it's hard to say.
Where Concubine Beixiang can go, it's really hard to guess.
Her parents and clansmen are dead, and there is no home to return to. Outside of Beixiang, there is only one thing that can make her think about it, and that is ......
"I know, tell him to settle down."
Xiao Da was disappointed in his heart and responded: "Yes." ”
The emperor did not call in to inquire carefully, that is, he did not care about this matter.
It seems that his trust in Lou Yan is far beyond his imagination.
Xiao Da returned to the palace gate and returned the emperor's words to the envoy of Beixiang.
The knight hurriedly said, "That's it? His Majesty was not summoned? ”
Xiao Da was not angry: "Your Majesty has a lot of opportunities, where can I take care of your little things." Hurry up and report for duty, otherwise you will also enter Beijing without permission! ”
"General Xiao......"
Xiao Da was impatient and glared at him: "What, you want to resist the order?" ”
How dare the knight, he could only reluctantly clench his fists: "The last general obeys the order." ”
……
It was getting dark.
Lou Yan sat under the lamp and watched Concubine Beixiang make the bed herself.
"Mother, why didn't you bring a maidservant when you came out?"
Concubine Beixiang waved her hand and said nonchalantly, "What are you taking them for?" It is easy to leak your whereabouts when there are many people. ”
"Then you are just such a person, running from Beixiang to the capital?"
"yes!" Concubine Beixiang asked him for credit, "Your mother is amazing, right?" So far away, didn't get lost! ”
"Huh." Lou Yan twitched the corner of his mouth.
That's amazing! When she started the war with Anxi, she led a personal guard of 200 people to chase and kill the enemy prince for thousands of miles, but I didn't see her boast about herself so much.
"You little conscienceless, you have been gone for so long, and you don't write back." Concubine Beixiang complained.
Lou Yan was unmoved: "I will send a message back every month, you naturally know if I have something to do, there is no need to write a letter." ”
Concubine Beixiang said angrily: "How is this the same? That's business! Saying that, he sneered again, "I want to marry a daughter-in-law, but I wrote a letter." ”
Lou Yan had a headache: "You said it yourself, you must write a letter about this matter." ”
"Why haven't I seen you so obedient in other things? It can be seen that you just didn't put your mother at ease! ”
Lou Yan had no choice but to say: "My son is wrong, please forgive my mother." ”
Concubine Beixiang was satisfied, and patted his head: "Wouldn't it be good to do this earlier?" Then he sat down and asked him, "Well, whose family is the girl you want to marry?" Did I know? ”
Lou Yan said vaguely: "It's an ordinary official eunuch." ”
"It doesn't hurt to have a normal family background, as long as you have a good character. By the way, what did her father do? It won't hurt us, will it? ”
"No, her father has passed away, and there are only two uncles in the family, who are petty officials of the seventh or eighth grade, and they are not in the important yamen."
"Oh." Concubine Beixiang smiled, "I haven't been back to the capital for many years, and I don't know anyone well." What's her family name? The concubine will inquire about you. ”
"No need." Lou Yan glanced at her vigilantly, and said quickly, "I've inquired about everything, there will be no problem." ”
Concubine Beixiang disagreed: "You are a man, and you don't understand some things." ”
Lou Yan had no choice but to say: "You entered Beijing without permission and appeared in front of the public, how do you explain your identity?" Or ......"
"Shall I just inquire quietly? Are you fooling me? ”
Lou Yan was speechless for a while, and said, "I'm not worried about you?" ”
"Huh!" Concubine Beixiang put her hand on her waist, held her head high, and said proudly, "When you swept Anxi for your mother, you still wore open crotch pants!" Less verbose! Hurry up! ”
“……”
Concubine Beixiang became suspicious: "If you push back and block, there should be no problem, right?" Or is the news of the night rain true, there is no such person at all, you are just to calm our hearts? ”
"What did the night rain say? I'll break his leg when I turn around! ”
It's a pity that his head was slapped first, and Concubine Beixiang said fiercely: "Don't say I'll break your leg first!" ”
