259 What do you want to call the landlord?
Beigong Pheasant's purpose is too obvious now, from beginning to end, he only targets Xia Xiaoxiao. γFengyun Reading Network. γ
"Understood." Xia Xiaoxiao looked at Beigong and said, Beigong Yu can hide it from her until now, how can she not understand? However, "You also said that Ji Xiaoer is now in his hands, Beigong Yu is the emperor, and it is impossible for him to put the entire Yue Hua in danger for Ji Lingnan alone." β
Beigong Yu is not such a noble person, he has righteousness in his heart, but he also stops at righteousness, not to mention, he is still an emperor, putting Yue Hua in dire straits for her alone is his last regression, if that person is Ji Lingnan, Beigong Yu will not be soft-hearted.
Beigong Pheasant Departure...... I won't be soft-hearted.
But she is different, although she doesn't know what Beigong Pheasant wants to do when she makes this deal, but it is impossible for her to know such an ending and not care about Ji Lingnan's life and death.
A little general of Yue Hua fell into the hands of Nanming Kingdom, and he was still a prisoner, and Xia Xiaoxiao didn't dare to think about whether Ji Lingnan was still alive and injured now.
General Ji now only has one son under his knees, Ji Lingnan, if even Ji Lingnan is gone......
"Sister-in-law, the second brother has already instructed that you can only stay in the palace after you wake up, you can go wherever you want, but you can't leave the palace."
How could Xia Xiaoxiao not understand what Xia Xiaoxiao said about Beigong Pheasant, but he still stood still and didn't move, not to mention that Beigong Yu had already given him a death order, even for himself, he also knew that if Xia Xiaoxiao fell into the hands of Beigong Pheasant, it would be impossible for Beigong Pheasant to put her back, not to mention whether Beigong Pheasant Li had harmful Xia Xiaoxiao's thoughts for the time being, just at present, Beigong Pheasant Li still has a Chu Muruo next to him.
Xia Xiaoxiao called out in a deep voice again, "This palace asked you to prepare things for this palace, can't you hear it?" β
"Sister-in-law!"
Beigong Langyan took two steps forward to completely block Xia Xiaoxiao's way, Xia Xiaoxiao glanced outside the imperial study, and with Beigong Rongyan's movements, the guards who blocked the door at the same time, and his voice finally became completely cold, "Little Thirteen, you may not know, Murong Tianlian once said that I would beg him to let him take me out of the palace, don't force me." β
Xia Xiaoxiao's two hands hanging down on her side clenched tightly, Murong Tianlian said something like that, Xia Xiaoxiao had never had such a mind before this, no, it should be said that she would not hit Murong Tianlian with her idea in the future, she was just gambling.
"How Ji Xiaoer lives and dies in the hands of Beigong Pheasant, I can't feel at ease if I don't see it with my own eyes, not to mention, you and Beigong Yu have been hiding from me and him."
Sure enough, in the next moment, Beigong Yan's face had changed, and Beigong Yu knew about Murong Tianlian, he just didn't know it so clearly and in detail, but he had also heard it, and it was impossible for him to let Xia Xiaoxiao really ask Murong Tianlian for help.
If what Xia Xiaoxiao said was true, if Murong Tianlian took action personally, he would not be able to really stop her.
Xia Xiaoxiao saw that Beigong Yanyan's face finally wavered, and hurriedly said, "Don't worry, I also know your concerns, but this time I'm just looking for Beigong Yu, and I can't run to find Beigong Pheasant alone, with Beigong Yu here, what are you worried about?" β
Not at ease, how can he be at ease? Beigong Yu had already told him what he had told him repeatedly, and he couldn't have imagined that Xia Xiaoxiao would know about it as soon as he woke up.
When the city gate was opened, the preparations were perfect, the sun was in full bloom, and no matter how good the weather was in March, it was still a little cool when the wind was blowing.
Beigong Langyan looked at the figure of several guards behind him on the horse, and held his forehead in silence.
"Thirteenth master, the emperor said at the time that he couldn't let his mother out of the palace no matter what, what should I do now?" Pingshun also had a headache, and he was anxious to go back in front of Beigong Langyan, "The Sprinkle family is going to order someone to report a message to the emperor." β
Pingshun hurriedly went, and Beigong Langyan beckoned a guard beside him again, "Where is the emperor now?" β
"Back to the prince, the emperor needs to arrive within a month this time, so he took a shortcut, and according to the route, he should have just passed near Heyuan Mountain today."
Beigong Langyan looked at the figure that had gradually disappeared in the distance, rubbed his temples and said in a deep voice, "In addition to the few people who followed Niangniang just now, send a few more people to follow." At the end, he instructed again, "Follow in the dark, don't let the mother find out." β
Beigong Yu instructed him, but what Xia Xiaoxiao said is also true, now that Wu is in a war, Yue Hua has lost two cities in a row, looking at Beigong Pheasant's attitude now, if Beigong Yu fails to stop it this time, then Yue Hua's situation is really precarious, for private reasons, he naturally does not want Xia Xiaoxiao to go, but, Yu Gong, he is also Yue Hua's courtier, if he goes to which step in the end, it is impossible for him to see that vital fortress fall into the hands of Nanming Kingdom.
Even if Beigong Yu does not agree at that time.
Out of the city gate, all the way to the horseshoe trampling, raising all the way to the dust.
Xia Xiaoxiao rode on the sugar gourd, although her horsemanship was not as good as Beigong Langyan and Beigong Yu, but her speed was not much slower at this time.
According to what Qingyue said, when she went to the imperial study that day and bumped into those ministers who were deliberating, I am afraid that it was Beigong Yu who was discussing the matter of the pro-conquest, and it was only two days since then, so the group should not be able to go far.
Beigong said that he was worried about the safety of a person like her, so he found four or five guards with excellent martial arts to follow her, so that Xia Xiaoxiao was also much more relieved.
Xia Xiaoxiao ran wildly all the way and took the path out of the capital, but she was walking, and Beigong Yu's people were also walking, and Xia Xiaoxiao didn't find anyone for a long time.
In order to facilitate travel, she deliberately changed into the green cloth linen clothes often worn by country men, fortunately, Beigong Yu is an army, if he passes by, he must know it as soon as he asks.
They all walked to the mountains, the path, which was fast and not easy to attract attention, and when they were resting at night, the four or five guards formed a small encirclement around her, or leaning on the trees, or climbing to the trees, and the two of them slept in the first half of the night, and then changed shifts in the second half of the night, but Xia Xiaoxiao couldn't fall asleep.
In the spring of March, the morning and night were cold, and a small fire was lit, Xia Xiaoxiao glanced at the guards who were guarding not far from her, and her eyes fell back to the firewood that was burning vigorously, the dry branches crackled in the fire, and her hand took something out of her sleeve.
When she left the palace, she also brought out the totem in her hand.
The firelight reflected on the totem, and from the dim yellow, there was a sense of old and old age.
This is not the first time she has looked at the totem in her hand like this, Xia Xiaoxiao remembered the scene she saw last time in the Dusk Pavilion, and the ethereal picture would definitely not be her hallucination, but she faintly felt that if there was something deeper in this totem, there seemed to be something deeper.
The weather had been sunny for several days in a row, and it had warmed up, and she had almost caught up to the end of Yue Hua's army.
This time, Beigong Yu brought 50,000 troops to go, saying that it was not too much, saying that it was a lot less, the people of Nanming were on one side, and this time Beigong Yu seemed to have broken off contact with Jin State, Wu State, Nanming, Chaoyang, he couldn't be negligent on one side.
A guard came back from the front, "Niangniang, the emperor's men and horses are five kilometers ahead, should we speed up and meet the emperor?" β
Xia Xiaoxiao rode on horseback, and after a few days of hurrying, not to mention her, these guards who followed her were also a little unbearable, and she hesitated a little.
"No, let's rest here for a while." In the end, Xia Xiaoxiao shook his head and got off the horse, without any intention of continuing to hurry.
Those guards looked at each other, and they had been on the road for several days, and now they were only less than half a day's journey away from the emperor's soldiers and horses, why did they suddenly stop at this time?
Naturally, doubts are doubts, Xia Xiaoxiao has already said it, and they don't dare to ask more, so they start to rest, Xia Xiaoxiao eats the dry food handed over by the guards, and looks thoughtful.
Beigong Yu is worried, I am afraid that it is not only the transaction, but the matter of Xia Xiaoxiao and Beigong Pheasant leaving the meeting, since he has already instructed Beigong to make a statement, that is, she will never be allowed to go to Nanming with him, if Xia Xiaoxiao is found to follow at this time, the first thing Beigong Yu does should be to order someone to send Xia Xiaoxiao back to the capital.
In the next two days, Xia Xiaoxiao kept a distance not far away, not too close, not daring to get too close, Beigong Yu's group came out, it must be well guarded, and it was inevitable that they would be discovered if they followed too closely, every time Xia Xiaoxiao asked people to investigate the situation, they never forgot to tell not to be discovered.
It seems that this time she really just planned to follow him.
She had also been to Nanming from Yue Hua before, so this time the road section was not too unfamiliar, and the direction was the same, but this time it was a shortcut, judging from the driving speed, it was not difficult for Xia Xiaoxiao to guess how urgent the battle between Yue Hua and Nanming was in that fortress this time.
The person found it, Xia Xiaoxiao was no longer in a hurry, only once the little guard who went to inquire again came back and heard some of the news from General Ji's side.
"General Ji Xiao is currently being held in the Nanming military camp, and the details are not yet clear."
When Xia Xiaoxiao heard this, her heart cooled a little, in her image, Beigong Pheasant was not like a person who would threaten people like this, she didn't even know whether the object of his threat was aimed at Beigong Yu, or if he was really coming at her.
General Ji is a rare trusted courtier of Beigong Yu, Ji Lingnan fell into the hands of Nanming, General Ji will not sit idly by, and Beigong Yu should not really let Ji Lingnan go, after thinking about it for a while, Xia Xiaoxiao was a little relieved.
There was a river down the river downstream, and Xia Xiaoxiao ordered someone to wait for her in the same place, planning to go down to rest and recuperate, and then continue to hurry.
After crossing the river, and then going down is the fork in the road, Xia Xiaoxiao took a change of clothes and went down, and the guards could only find a place to wait from a distance, the sun in the sky was just right, the sound of gurgling water, and the yellow orioles stopped on the branches with green sprouts, and the sound of chirping sounded, which seemed to have the appearance of spring.
I was worried for several days, and only at this time did Xia Xiaoxiao relax a little, but she was still hesitating whether she should go to meet Beigong Yu.
In such a barren mountain and wild place, Xia Xiaoxiao doesn't have to worry about someone coming over, not to mention that there are those guards guarding outside, although it is a man, but Xia Xiaoxiao doesn't think they will have the courage to come over and take a peek, so he also relaxed, and after washing, he changed into the previous set of men's clothes, the men's clothes are not better than the women's, very convenient, but the rope that binds the cuffs is not known where it has been taken off, thinking that maybe it is not willing to fall into the grass somewhere, is bending over to look everywhere, his hand just reached out and opened a small branch in front of him, Suddenly an extra pair of shoes came out in front of me.
Xia Xiaoxiao thought that she should have been out for so long and hadn't seen her back, and the guards followed uneasily, but when she raised her eyes, the whole person was stunned in place, and a trace of horror gradually appeared in her eyes......
******
On the three poles of the sun, a few finches crossed in the sky, Beigong Yu grabbed the reins of the horse, and the Wuxi behind him saw this, and made a stop gesture behind him, and the group stopped in the same place.
"Your Majesty?"
Wuxi stepped forward and whispered.
Nothing to say, stopped in place for a while, and soon someone from the rear hurried up, took two steps forward and knelt in front of Beigong Yu's horse, "Back to the emperor, the rear really found a few people who followed all the way, it seems that they have been following us for a long time." β
Beigong Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, the man signaled, and the rear immediately escorted the person up.
"Get on your knees!"
The person who came lowered his head, dressed in a green linen cloth, couldn't see his appearance clearly, and the person brought it up, and the little soldier kicked the place where his knee socket was, and the person who came knelt in front of Beigong Yu at once.
"Just one person?"
Beigong Yu's eyebrows were slightly raised, his eyes swept around, and he made a faint sound.
"The rest of the people have been captured, and this person should be the leader."
The soldier replied, glanced at the kneeling man, and pulled his long hair up to lift the man's face.
A delicate face, and there was even a deliberate smeared carbon ash on the face to cover it up, Beigong Yu's eyes flashed a trace of strangeness, and then stared at the kneeling person with a smile, "If I remember correctly, I seem to have seen you there?" β
As soon as the man heard Beigong Yu's words, a trace of panic immediately flashed in his expression, and he hurriedly lowered his head again, "Back to the emperor, the small ones are just the commoners who are farmers in the vicinity, where can the emperor be familiar?" β
Beigong Yu was holding a horse whip in his hand, not far away, as long as he wanted to, the whip would immediately fall on the man, he raised his chin and looked down at the man, the smile on his face was also full of carelessness, "Qiao Yi Shen?" β
As early as a few days ago, he felt that someone seemed to be following him not far behind, and at first he only thought it was someone from a nearby farmer, but the distance was not far away, and it was undoubtedly coming towards him.
The kneeling man in Tsing Yi finally had a little real panic, he had only had a one-sided relationship with Beigong Yu, but he didn't expect Beigong Yu to still remember him, but his eyes were gradually covered with a layer of coldness.
"Qiao Yishen's people, now that they are following my army on my territory, should I be suspicious of something?"
Beigong Yu stared at the man in Tsing Yi with cold eyes, and said slowly, "Or is it true that your master has taken refuge in Chu Boyuan now, so he wants to get something from me?" β
As far as he knew, Qiao Yishen and Chu Boyuan had already had a conflict over the Nanming Imperial Mausoleum before, and since he had missed that opportunity, according to Chu Boyuan's suspicious nature, the possibility of cooperating again was almost minimal.
Beigong Yu was looking at the man on the ground, so that when there was just a movement in his hand, Beigong Yu had already spoken, "Stop him!" β
Before the little soldier behind the man in Tsing Yi could react, he saw that the man in Tsing Yi had bypassed a small knife in his hand, and the sharp blade had stabbed heavily into the throat when his hand fell, killing him with a knife.
Wu Xi was shocked, "Go and see how the people we just caught are doing!" β
As soon as the words fell, another soldier had already appeared in front of him in a hurry, "Back to the emperor, those people have just committed suicide!" β
Beigong Yu looked at the corpse that had fallen to the ground in front of him, and bright red blood gushed out from his throat, the quickest and easiest move, a knife stabbed into his throat, and the time of death was so fast that he didn't even have time to close his eyes.
"Tell someone to turn around and let Thirteen pay attention to Qiao Yishen's movements."
Beigong Yu clamped his legs on the horse's belly, and the horse immediately crossed the corpse on the ground and walked forward again.
Qiao Yishen will send someone to keep an eye on him at this time, and he is still a shrimp soldier and crab who doesn't seem to be very skilled, is it really just to find out the news, or is it deliberately for him to find out?
Qiao Yi was heavy, this person made him a little impressed.
After Fang Cai's stubble, Beigong Yu gave another order to block all the roads in front of and behind the marching team, this time it was Qiao Yishen's person, and next time, it would be Beigong Pheasant's person.
The stream reflecting a little bit of the sun's rays in the sky, the waves were faint, and a trace of light flashed on Xia Xiaoxiao's face, shaking her eyes a little, so she simply closed her eyes, and kept reminding herself to be calm.
"Hehe......" A low and happy laugh came from overhead, "The beauty of the owner of this building, it seems that you have blinded your dog's eyes?" β
"You're the dog's eye!" Xia Xiaoxiao couldn't hold back, she had already reopened her eyes, and glared angrily at the person who suddenly appeared in front of her.
Murong Qianlian looked at the leaves that had accidentally fallen on her head when she was taking a bath just now, and suddenly became angry at this moment, and suddenly felt very vivid, and raised his hand and stretched out his hand towards her.
"What are you doing!" Xia Xiaoxiao jumped back very quickly with his head in his hands, staring at the person in front of him with a bright smile on his face as if he was defensive, and stepped back several times in succession, "Green Peacock, I warn you, this time there are several masters in the palace not far away, and Beigong Yu's army is also in front, don't you want to play any tricks again!" β
Murong Tinglian listened to her, and then looked at her avoidance of him, and twisted his eyebrows in great displeasure, when Xia Xiaoxiao reacted again, he felt a flower in front of him, and Murong Tianlian had already stood beside her lightly, clasped her shoulder with one hand, and whispered, "Don't move." β
Xia Xiaoxiao's heart sank, saying that she was not allowed to move, but his palm was buckled, and she had to move, she subconsciously thought that Murong Tianlian really wanted to kill her and was going to do it herself, and the hands holding her head were even harder, "Green Peacock...... No, it's okay if I don't call you a green peacock, don't you ......."
She closed her eyes tightly, and before she could finish her words, her hands that held her head tightly were taken down with a force that was close to gentleness, saying that it was gentle, just because she could not feel any strength, but she was never allowed to use the strength to resist.
Xia Xiaoxiao raised her head blankly, and saw that Murong Tinglian happened to take a small green leaf from her head and landed on his fingertips, making the color of his fingertips pure and transparent.
Murong Tinglian glanced at Xia Xiaoxiao, who was stunned, put the green leaf to his mouth, and with a gentle blow, it slipped from his fingertips, fluttering in the air for two turns before falling back into the dust.
Xia Xiaoxiao came back to her senses and realized something, grabbed her hair with both hands, and put her hand down after making sure that there was nothing more, but it was like forming a habit, when Murong Tianlian approached, she always couldn't help but step back, so now she took two steps back in a row, and then looked at him, "Green peacock, what do you want to do......"
Before she finished her words, Murong Tinglian watched her walk over leisurely towards her, smiling, "It's not called Green Peacock, what else are you going to call the owner of this building?" β
Xia Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, only then did she know that he was referring to the words she had just said, and her eyes rolled, "If I don't call you Green Peacock, you won't come to trouble me anymore?" β
"If you please the owner of this building, maybe?"
Murong tilted his head slightly, and when he heard Xia Xiaoxiao's words, he laughed lowly, and that smile was really overwhelming.
At this time, it was spring, and all things were dyed with a layer of green, and Murong Tinglian was still wearing his green robe that had not changed for thousands of years, but today, there were two green Qingluan tattooed on the sleeves of his robe, with bright colors jumping from it, and there were knee-high flowers and trees all around.
Xia Xiaoxiao almost lost her mind again, and hurriedly covered her eyes, a little annoyed, "Green peacock, can't you use some upright means?" β
That face, those eyes, at this time, Xia Xiaoxiao felt that there was no place on his body that could be seen, and if he was not careful, it would make people lose their minds.
"It's all said to be a means, how can it be above board?"
He sneered with great disdain, and every time he took a step forward, he could see that Xia Xiaoxiao's steps were also unconsciously taking a step back, reminding him with interest, "Further back, it's the river." β
Xia Xiaoxiao took the last step to lift, and when she heard this, she suddenly stopped her footsteps and half stepped on the empty foot, and narrowly stabilized her figure, and when she turned around, in front of her was the demonic facial features that had been magnified, and the corners of her mouth were steadily brushing Murong Tianlian's cheeks, I don't know whether it was her intentional or unintentional, or Murong Tianlian's intentional or unintentional, her lips were up, cold and soft, Xia Xiaoxiao almost saw a hint of a happy smile flashing in Murong Tianlian's eyes.
