Chapter 287: The Praying Mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind

At that moment, after pondering slightly, he nodded and said: "Well, Zuo Aiqing, your idea is very good, I also think that if Shangguan Yuanji returns to Jin Xuguo, it will be endless trouble after letting the tiger return to the mountain." I will allow you to play, but there is one thing I want to repeat to you........".

Before he finished speaking, Zuo Zengchun and Lai Xiongsong said in unison: "Yes, Weichen knows, no matter what happens, when the time comes, it is necessary to ensure the safety of the queen mother first." ”

"Well, that's fine with you. Alright, I will go back and discuss it, and I will summon you here again tomorrow morning after the morning meeting. ”

Yi Buqun said, and waved his hand to let the two of them kneel down. After walking out of the imperial study, Lai Xiong Song stuck out his tongue, gave Zuo Zengchun a thumbs up, and praised: "Brother Zuo, you are still powerful." If I was replaced, I really didn't dare to say that in front of the emperor just now. ”

Zuo Zengchun had a smile on his face, but the joy in his eyes was still faint, he shook his head, and said abruptly: "Alas, now seeing that the emperor is so affectionate to the queen, I really can't think that if the queen who came back this time is fake, or if the queen is really ill-intentioned and is a person sent by the brothers of the Jun family, then when the time comes, with the emperor's heart, he will definitely be out of control in anger!" ”

"Yes! I'm also very worried, but now that it's now, what's the use of saying we're worried? It's just hope, everything is heavenly, don't make the emperor sad anymore. ”

Lai Xiongsong and Zuo Zengchun were a little worried when they spoke. The two brothers said, and just walked away shoulder to shoulder.

In the dimly lit cell, Shangguan Yuanji was dressed in prison clothes, his hands and feet were chained by heavy chains, his long unkempt hair was black and white, and there were mottled blood stains on his body, and he had obviously been tortured a lot. At this time, he was huddled in a dark and damp corner of the cell, and he could no longer see the demeanor of the invincible general who used to gallop on the battlefield.

He was in a drowsy state and had a dream. In the dream, his favorite daughter, Shangguan Wanshu, was running towards him with her skirt. He opened his arms, as he had ever done to welcome his daughter. Unexpectedly, in the end, he could only pass by his daughter.

"Wan'er! Wan'er! ”

Shangguan Yuanji woke up suddenly, the ankle chains on his feet were lifted by the action of getting up, and a violent sound of Si Xi Suo sounded, which was particularly terrifying in the quiet cell.

When the jailer heard the news, he rushed to see him still huddled in that corner, and immediately cursed, saying, "Phew! In the middle of the night, when I heard such a noise, I thought it was a corpse! So you're here to make a fool of yourself! ”

The other companion was also drunk, pointing at Shangguan Yuanji and sneering: "Hey, I heard that you used to be a victorious general!" Hehe, now it seems that you are just as virtuous as those robbers and rapists in our cells! ”

"No, Ge Laosi, what you said is not right. How is he similar to the people we've looked after before? According to me, his virtue is not even worthy of carrying shoes for others. ”

"Hey, yes, yes! Wang Liumazi, what you said is really right. To tell you the truth, I've long been looking at this old boy unpleasantly. A high virtue all day long, I bah! I don't look in the mirror what kind of situation I am, and dare to pretend in front of Lao Tzu! ”

"Then why don't we take advantage of the fact that there is no one here, and teach him a good lesson first?"

The two brothers were talking, and they wanted to stretch their muscles while they were drinking. At this time, when Lai Xiong Song arrived with someone, he sneered and said, "Drag me down, and each person will hit thirty boards!" With the two of you bear bags, you dare to do something to our general? ”

The two jailers looked back and saw that it was the commander of the Great Inner Forbidden Army who had arrived, and they were so frightened that they quickly knelt down and kowtowed. Lai Xiongsong hated this kind of fake public and private people who had no ability, so he couldn't help but say, pulled these two down and taught them a lesson, and called to bring a chair, invited Shangguan Yuanji to come out, and after putting the wine and food, he arched his hand to Shangguan Yuanji and said: "General Shangguan, I have heard your name for a long time, and it is also a great blessing in life to be able to drink and sit with you today!" ”

Shangguan Yuanji was forcibly helped out of the cell, and he was silent at first, but when he heard this, he sneered: "Where, Lai Xiongsong, you don't have to wear any high hats for the old man and me." Old man, I have been on the battlefield all my life, killing countless people, and I have never been soft and hard. Today, no matter what method you use, don't think of putting half a word of useful words out of my mouth! Otherwise, I, Shangguan Yuanji, will be your son! ”

As soon as Lai Xiongsong came up, he touched the hard nail, knowing that this person was really difficult to deal with, so he could only smile and say: "General Shangguan, what do you say?" I came to meet you tonight because I have long admired your prestige, General, and I have come to pay a visit. If there is any coercion and temptation, it will inevitably seem too bad. ”

After speaking, he said meaningfully: "But he is also a military general, although his position is not higher and more powerful than that of the general, but he also relied on his own strength to get to this position." It is said that it is sympathetic, and it doesn't matter if the general looks down on him, but he knows that the general must not leave his life in Xiangluo Kingdom, or go back early, and it makes sense to meet your precious daughter who is the imperial concubine and the little grandson who is about to be born. ”

Shangguan Yuanji heard him mention his daughter and grandson, and the look on his face really eased, but immediately, he collapsed his face again and said coldly: "Hugh wants to talk about the old man's daughter and grandson, hum!" My daughter is now the imperial concubine, and as long as she gives birth to a son in the future, she will be the eldest son. In the future, although it may not be able to replace the middle palace Fuzheng, the empress dowager has already issued a decree to the emperor, and she must not be treated badly in her lifetime. The old man has lived for such a long time, and he has already seen through personal life and death. If at this time, because of the old husband, his daughter and grandson are disgraced, the old man will die, and he will not have the face to go down to see his wife. So, Lai Xiong Song, you don't have to say anything today, I, Shangguan Yuanji, am a man, and I would rather die standing than live in the world on my knees. If you really have a respect or two for the old man, just be happy, and there will be any torture on it. If the old man snorts, he is not a man! ”

Lai Xiong Song saw that he said this loudly, and he also had some admiration in his heart. But it's a pity that Shangguan Yuanji is brave and good at fighting, upright and loyal, but he is different from his natural Tao, so this time, for the sake of his master's grand plan, he can only sacrifice his life to attack Jin Xuguo's strength.

However, although he thought so in his heart, he still saluted respectfully on his face: "Yes, the great general Gao Yi is also a first-time father, so I understand your thoughts very well." However, the general, who came here tonight, learned of something important, and I have come to inform you. ”

Shangguan Yuanji snorted coldly in his nostrils, he had already heard it in the army before, this Lai Xiong Song was now the most faceless military attache in front of Emperor Yi Buqun of Xiangluo Kingdom, and he was also the emperor's confidant, so he didn't intend to believe his words at all. It was just a perfunctory nod, and he asked pretending to be curious, "Oh? I don't know what important things General Lai said? If it has something to do with my daughter, the old man still has to ask the general for favor. ”

As soon as he heard him mention Shangguan Wanshu, he was very warm, and Lai Xiongsong had a bottom in his heart. He hurriedly said, "Yes, General, this matter is related to your daughter." That's the case, the emperor once canonized a queen a few days ago, that is, .......".

In his concise words, he roughly described what happened before and after Yi Buqun's canonization. In the end, it was said that someone had taken Zichu hostage in a vain attempt to use it as a hostage and exchange it with him. Moreover, it is said that Emperor Jun Yucheng of Jin Xuguo also nodded and agreed. Early tomorrow morning, Yi Buqun ordered to take Shangguan Yuanji to Yongye and exchange him for Zichu to return to China.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Shangguan Yuanji was furious, and said angrily: "This demon girl, why hasn't she died yet?" Hum! You emperors are really, and you are fascinated when you see it. You must know that this demon girl's ability to deceive people is first-class, if she really comes back to continue to be your queen, beware that your Xiangluo country will not be far from the country of death! ”

"Yes, yes, what you said is exactly what Lord Zuo and I are worried about. So, let's plan this matter well. No matter what, the queen of our Xiangluo Kingdom must not be the demon girl from your Jin Xu Kingdom, right? ”

Although Shangguan Yuanji regarded Lai Xiongsong as an enemy, he felt sorry for his daughter more than anything. And in his opinion, Zichu is the culprit who made his daughter unhappy. Without her existence, Jun Yuyu would naturally be wholeheartedly devoted to her daughter. Now that his daughter is pregnant, his original idea was to fight for his own life, but also to protect his daughter Zhou Quan Ronghua I. Therefore, what he never mentioned to Shangguan Wansu and anyone else was that the reason why the Empress Dowager swore a heavy oath and was willing to protect her daughter's years in the palace was that he also swore to the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager that from now on, he would be loyal to Jun Yuyu wholeheartedly, and he would not complain at all.

At this time, when he heard Lai Xiong Song talk about Song Zichu again, the anger in his heart was ignited. Moreover, he thought for the first time that if Song Zichu was still alive, he might pose a threat to his daughter in the future. Although she has become the queen of Xiangluo Kingdom, in his opinion, such a traitorous woman is better than a clean death. Then the murderous intent gradually became in his heart, and the anger in his eyes became stronger.
