Chapter 328
handed over the murderer Li Xian and helper Zhao Qianrong to Sha Wei, Wang Jun didn't care much, believing that Sha Wei could handle it, so he left the mansion with Zhao Linger and a few people.
As soon as I returned to Mingyue Tower, looking at the lobby full of guests, a few people raised their feet to the private room on the third floor, and Anu ordered two tables full of dishes with great interest, and waited with joy.
"Knock knock knock." There was a soft knock on the door.
"Come in." Wang Jun said.
The door slowly opened, Ji Sanniang stood at the door stiffly, as soon as she heard that Wang Jun and others came back, she rushed to meet as soon as she heard that Wang Jun and others came back, as one of the local snakes in Yangzhou City, the official mansion naturally also had her eyes and ears, and arched her hand and said: "Ji Sanniang to meet the adult." ”
"No courtesy." Wang Jun nodded, pointed to the chair placed next to the table, and said, "Sit down!" Is there anything you have come here for? ”
Anu opened his head to look at the empty corridor, and said with a look of loss: "I thought there was something to eat, Anu is so hungry!" ”
Ji Sanniang smiled apologetically, and said to Anu: "I'm sorry, you want too many things, and in order to let the adults eat well, the little woman specially told the kitchen to do it carefully, and it will take a while to make it." ”
Ji Sanniang turned her head to look at Wang Jun and said, "My lord, I received a message, you may be interested?" ”
Hearing this, Wang Jun couldn't help but feel a little interested, and said with a smile: "Let's talk about it." ”
Ji Sanniang hesitated for a moment before she said, "Mingyulou just opened its door early this morning, and a group of people dressed as Nanzhao Kingdom lived. After some side knocking, the little woman found that several of them were looking for Mrs. Ling'er, so she felt that it was about Mrs. Ling'er, so she came to report it as soon as possible. ”
Wang Jun silently estimated in his heart when he heard this, according to the distance, the Nanzhao Kingdom delegation was almost in Yangzhou City, if nothing else, it should be Elder Shi and them, of course, it is not ruled out that they are Moon Worshippers.
Anu stood up even more excitedly, stared at Ji Sanniang tightly, and asked, "Is it Tang Yu Xiaobao?" ”
Ji Sanniang was stunned for a moment, nodded slightly, and said, "There is a person named Tang Yu Xiaobao, but I don't know if it's the person the girl said?" ”
Anu just wanted to use a thread to communicate with Tang Yu Xiaobao, and suddenly remembered that if Da Shigu found out, I was afraid that Da Shigu would preach to her again, and a little face immediately became entangled, and I didn't know whether to contact Tang Yu Xiaobao or not.
Zhao Ling'er didn't know what Anu was thinking, looked at the entanglement on Anu's face, and asked with concern, "Anu, what's wrong with you?" ”
Anu shook his head again and again, not wanting Zhao Ling'er to know about Tang Yu Xiaobao, pretending to be casual, and said, "It's okay, it's okay." ”
The corners of Wang Jun's mouth rose, and he said with a smile: "That's because Tang Yu Xiaobao is Anu's sweetheart, but she doesn't want to see Tang Yu Xiaobao's father-in-law, Elder Shi, and it just so happens that Elder Shi doesn't want to see Anu either, so she is more annoyed and doesn't know whether to contact Tang Yu Xiaobao."
Get in touch! I was afraid of attracting Elder Shi. Don't get in touch! Tang Yu Xiaobao is very good to her, and Ling'er, your whereabouts can't be hidden for long. ”
In an instant, Anu's cheeks flushed, like ripe apples, and he stammered, "Just... It's not a heart... What about the Venerable Master! Brother-in-law...... Princess Ling'er, look at your brother-in-law..."
Zhao Ling'er saw that this situation was not clear, Wang Jun said that Anu's heart was in trouble, gently patted Wang Jun's shoulder, and said deliberately: "Brother Wang Jun, don't talk nonsense that Tang Yu Xiaobao is not Anu's sweetheart, how can we Anu like that stupid goose." ”
Wang Jun pretended to be suddenly enlightened, nodded and said, "Oh, it turns out that I made a mistake, it seems that Tang Yu Xiaobao is indeed not Anu's sweetheart." ”
Zhao Linger and Wang Jun sang and cooperated seamlessly, with a sweetheart on the left and a sweetheart on the right, which caused Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru to laugh.
Anu stomped lightly and said angrily: "Princess Ling'er, if you say that again, Anu will ignore you." ”
The two of them looked at Anu's appearance and understood that they really couldn't make fun of her anymore, otherwise they would really make her angry.
As soon as the words changed, Wang Jun turned his head to Ji Sanniang and asked, "Are those people still in the inn?" ”
Ji Sanniang shook her head and said, "Except for leaving a guard to guard the luggage, everyone else has gone out to inquire about Mrs. Ling'er's news." ”
Suddenly, the eyes of several people focused on Wang Jun, and they didn't know what Wang Jun thought.
Wang Jun knocked his fingers on the table, thought for a while and decided to agree to let Ling'er meet with them, just so that the Tianlongwei arranged by him could hide in the dark, and let Tang Yu Xiaobao and his party protect Zhao Ling'er in the open, and said, "When they come back, come to see us in the private room." ”
Ji Sanniang nodded and said, "Obey." ”
Ji Sanniang saw that Wang Jun picked up the tea and drank it, and understood that Wang Jun meant to serve tea to the guests, so she got up and said, "I see that the dishes you ordered have not been served yet, so the little woman will go to the kitchen to urge." ”
Wang Jun bowed his head slightly and said, "It's troublesome." ”
It didn't take long for four or five shopkeepers to come in with trays to serve, bear paws, tiger meat, camel lips, flying dragon meat, etc., each of which was carefully made, in order to make these cherished ingredients, Mingyuelou can be said to have made great efforts.
Anu's excited eyes narrowed together, picked up the chopsticks, tasted this dish, and ate that dish.
The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors. A chaotic sound of footsteps stopped in front of the door, and the door of the private room was knocked again, Wang Jun took the wine glass, looked in the direction of the door, and said, "Come in." ”
As soon as the door opened, I saw Elder Shi as the leader, Tang Yu Xiaobao, and several guards standing at the door.
Elder Shi was also stunned when he saw the people in the private room, but he didn't expect Emperor Wang Jun of Zhao State to be here, and when he turned his head, he saw Zhao Ling'er, who maintained a close relationship with Wang Jun, and hurriedly gave up his hand and said, "Nanzhao Kingdom Shi Gonghu sees Emperor Zhao." ”
After a pause, he bowed his hand to Zhao Ling'er and said, "The old minister Shi Gonghu meets the princess." ”
Tang Yu Xiaobao also saluted and said, "Tang Yu Xiaobao has seen Emperor Zhao and met Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”
When Shi Gonghu couldn't see it, Anu grimaced at Shi Gonghu and winked at Tang Yu Xiaobao at the same time, almost making Tang Yu Xiaobao laugh.
Wang Jun looked at Shi Gonghu's surprised expression, couldn't help laughing, pointed to the empty seat where the dishes and chopsticks had already been arranged, and said, "You guys are finally here, we'll wait for you for a while, sit down and have a light meal together!" ”
Although Shi Gonghu didn't know what kind of reputation Wang Jun was doing, he regarded himself as strong, and he didn't care about Wang Jun's small movements, so he hugged his fists and said, "Thank you Emperor Zhao for the banquet." ”
Shi Gonghu felt the same taste as chewing wax at the moment, no matter how good the food was, he couldn't figure out how Wang Jun could appear here if he didn't stay in the Da Zhao Palace, and he didn't know what conspiracy Da Zhao had.
And looking at the intimacy between Wang Jun and Zhao Linger, it is also a headache, the Witch King only has one bloodline, Zhao Linger, and it is not surprising that the throne will be inherited by Zhao Linger.
However, with Zhao Ling'er's attitude, it was not possible to make the Nanzhao Kingdom be annexed by the Zhao State in the future, thinking of this, he secretly decided to return to the Nanzhao Kingdom to have a good talk with the Wu King.
Shi Gonghu only ate a few chopsticks before putting down the chopsticks, looked at Wang Jun deeply, and said hesitantly: "Emperor Zhao, I don't know what the relationship between you and my princess of Nanzhao Kingdom is?" ”
Wang Jun grinned and said, "We are a husband and wife who officially worship the church. ”
Shi Gonghu was about to cry when he heard this, he was really afraid of something, and now Zhao Guo is full of aggression under the leadership of Wang Jun, although most of Zhao Guo's attention is on the ghost side, but only a small part of the troops in the southwest region makes Nanzhao State tremble.
Now that Zhao Ling'er has a relationship, Zhao Guo can use this as an excuse to investigate the affairs of Nanzhao Kingdom, it seems that we must pay attention to Zhao Ling'er's safety, and we must not be honest and give Zhao Guo a chance to intervene.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, now that the Witch King is old, his affection for you is getting stronger and stronger, so he specially arranged for the old ministers to welcome the princess back to Nanzhao Kingdom, with the love of father and daughter." Shi Gonghu looked at Zhao Ling'er and persuaded.
If Wang Jun hadn't said anything about the Witch King before, Zhao Ling'er might have really believed Shi Gonghu's words.
But after seeing and hearing along the way, coupled with Wang Jun's mention, Zhao Ling'er already knew that the Witch King didn't care about the relationship between father and daughter, but just wanted to use her strength and Bai Miao's power to resist the Moon Worship Sect Master.
Despite this, Zhao Ling'er still has feelings for the Witch King, whether it is for the Witch King or for the Bai Miao people, she has to go back to Nanzhao Kingdom, and she must not let the Moon Worship Sect Master destroy the prosperity and hard-won peace of Nanzhao Kingdom.
remembered that Wang Jun once said that the easier it is to get, the more others will not cherish it, so he pretended to be indifferent and said: "Hehe, at this time, I remembered that he also has a daughter of mine, why did he not think about looking for me again with so many women, and only now did he think of coming to me."
Could it be that he found me back this time, or wanted to slander me again like he slandered my mother as a snake demon back then, so as to calm the anger of the people of Nanzhao Kingdom. ”
Speaking of this, Zhao Ling'er couldn't help but get excited, what happened back then also had a responsibility of the witch king, if it wasn't for grandma sacrificing her life to save her, maybe she would have become the target of everyone's shouting and beating like her mother.
Shi Gonghu's face was also a little gloomy when he heard this, not only Zhao Ling'er couldn't let go of Queen Qing'er's affairs, but even he couldn't accept it.
Every time he thought of Queen Qing'er's efforts for the prosperity of Nanzhao Kingdom, as well as the peace between Bai Miao and Hei Miao, he sincerely admired it.
Unexpectedly, in the end, the rebel son used the queen as an excuse for the snake demon to use the power of the people of Nanzhao Kingdom to force Queen Qing'er to death.
As soon as he thought of this, he longed to strangle that rebel. It's no wonder that Zhao Ling'er is reluctant to return to Nanzhao Kingdom at this time, to a certain extent, the dead witch king of the witch queen is also one of the masterminds behind the scenes.
Shi Gonghu opened his mouth when he thought of this, and he didn't know how to persuade him, so he blurted out: "Princess, don't worry, if the witch king is still mediocre and incompetent, the old minister will protect the princess's safety even if he fights for his life." ”
After thinking about it, if there is a problem with Zhao Ling'er's safety, maybe Zhao Guo will also send troops, and then can Nanzhao Guo have a problem of loss, gritted his teeth and said: "If it reaches the point of no return, the old minister is willing to take the identity of the patriarch of the three dynasties, begging the witch king to abdicate and make way for Xian, and assist Her Royal Highness the princess to ascend the throne." ”
As soon as Zhao Ling'er heard it, he knew that this was Elder Shi's bottom line, it was already very rare for him to be able to do this step, and if he was expected to harm the Witch King, it would be impossible.
Pretending to think for a while, he nodded slowly, and said, "Ling'er agrees to go back to Nanzhao with you, but Ling'er will not interfere in the affairs of Nanzhao Kingdom." ”
Shi Gonghu was relieved when he heard this, as long as he returned to Nanzhao Kingdom, with his understanding of the Nuwa clan, he was not afraid that Zhao Ling'er would not care about the affairs of the people of Nanzhao Kingdom, and his serious face was also changed to a smile, and said: "As long as Her Royal Highness the Princess is willing to return to Nanzhao Kingdom, everything will be decided by Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”
Wang Jun deliberately coughed when he heard this, and said: "Elder Shi, Ling'er is willing to go back to Nanzhao Kingdom with you, and I will not stop it, but if Ling'er hurts a hair in Nanzhao Kingdom, don't blame me for being unpredictable, my 100,000 Pingshan army is not a good talker." ”
Shi Gonghu laughed angrily when he heard this, Wang Jun was obviously bullying the small people of Nanzhao Kingdom, but when he thought of the gap between Nanzhao and Zhao, he couldn't help suppressing the anger in his heart, and said with a blushing face: "No need for Emperor Zhao to remind you, Ling'er is my princess of Nanzhao after all, and we will naturally not let her be harmed." ”
Wang Jun pretended to be full of disdain when he heard this, and sneered: "Wuhou Qing'er just believed your nonsense, and married the Wuwang for the sake of peace between Bai Miao and Hei Miao."
As a result, for the sake of power, the witch king deliberately indulged the Lunatic Cult to suppress the White Temple, causing the Moon Worship Sect to become a powerful minister of the Nanzhao Kingdom, resulting in his final tragic death.
If I care about the life and death of Hei Miao, return to the Bai Miao tribe who are loyal to me, and protect the people of the Bai Miao tribe, I really don't believe that the Moon Worship Sect Master has any patience to dare to go to the Bai Miao tribe to calculate her. ”
After a slight pause, he said: "It's funny to say, the Moon Worship Sect Master wants to use the flood to destroy the world, he is treating the Shushan Sword Saint, Sedum and the Demon Clan as dead people, and he is not afraid of the wind flashing to his tongue." ”
Wang Jun's words completely knocked out Shi Gonghu's confidence, and suddenly Shi Gonghu looked a little older.
If it weren't for this reason, he would not have resigned and retired after the death of the witch queen, and even adopted Tang Yu Xiaobao. That is, in order to stop paying attention to the broken affairs of the Nanzhao Dynasty, but also to train Tang Yu Xiaobao to prevent him from following in the footsteps of Shi Renjie, and at the same time to be able to stop Shi Renjie when necessary.
Therefore, Shi Gonghu couldn't find an excuse to refute these words, Shi Gonghu looked lonely and sighed: "If it weren't for this reason, Gonghu wouldn't have come to Zhao Country this time, in other words, Gonghu himself came with the psychology of atonement."
Based on my understanding of the Moon Worship Master, he has no movement for so many years, so the Witch King found Lao Chen, and Lao Chen agreed to come to find the princess as soon as possible. is to prevent the matter of the witch queen from happening to the princess again. ”
Zhao Ling'er looked at the loneliness on Shi Gonghu's face, and a trace of sympathy flashed in her heart.
After reading the information of several important ministers of the Nanzhao Kingdom sent to her by Wang Jun, she knew that Wang Jun's words had broken Shi Gonghu's pride, and gently pushed Wang Jun and whispered: "Brother Wang Jun, don't say it, after so many years, Ling'er believes that Elder Shi also regrets it."
Now Elder Shi is already making amends for the past, and Ling'er believes that what happened back then will not happen again. ”。
Wang Jun would not stop Zhao Ling'er from returning to Nanzhao Kingdom at all, this matter itself was part of his calculation, and said: "Shi Gonghu, you just lost your life, and you must also protect Ling'er's safety, otherwise I will not agree." ”
Shi Gonghu breathed a sigh of relief, his coming to Zhao State was finally done, and said: "Please also ask Emperor Zhao to be relieved, as long as the old man is not dead, no one can hurt Princess Ling'er." ”
