Chapter 113: Foreshadowing
"Since the Northern Hades King City is blessed by the gods, how did his father lead his troops to attack it? I remember that at that time, that battle was not hindered much, and it was as easy as a tiger entering the flock all the way to the royal city. Wei Sa frowned and pondered, this was too weird, he couldn't help but think about it.
Pei Zheng's expression was cold, and he snorted coldly, "That's because your father and king have received the help of a master from outside the world to guide him on how to crack the Blood Alliance City, so that year, the military horses of our Great Qi Kingdom can easily set foot on the Northern Hades King City." But your grandfather has always been worried that the curse of the Blood Alliance City will be fulfilled on the body of future generations, so according to the words of the Taoist priest back then, the little princess was named Zi Yan, named after the flower of the Northern Underworld, so that he could suppress the curse of the Blood Alliance City. However, if this can ensure the safety of the people of the Great Qi King clan, it is nothing. ”
Wei Sa smiled lightly, "It's just a name, besides, I also think the name Ziyan sounds good, isn't it very good for a girl's family?" ”
Pei Zheng waved his hand, "Third Highness, you should know that there is also a little princess with golden branches and jade leaves in the Northern Netherworld, named Yan. ”
Wei Sa was stunned for a moment and blinked, "Ah, I know." ”
"It's nothing if you just take a name, but that Taoist said that Princess Ziyan's bones were too light, I'm afraid she can't suppress such a noble life, and it's not appropriate to have a female nature, unless you use a sharp weapon such as a Jin Ge Iron Horse, which is why the first emperor entrusted the tiger talisman that can control half of the country to Her Royal Highness the little princess when he was dying."
Wei Sa was completely stunned this time, he had also imagined several possibilities, but he didn't expect that the reason why his grandfather gave the tiger talisman to Zi Yan was because of this kind of reason that sounded ridiculous. I couldn't laugh or cry at the moment. But when he saw Pei Zheng's face that was not joking at all, he suddenly realized that Pei Zheng would not talk to him about these bizarre past events for no reason. A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and suddenly a bold idea flashed, Wei Sa couldn't help frowning, and looked at the old man in front of him suspiciously.
Pei Zheng put his eyes in the distance, didn't care about Wei Sa's suspicions, and said slowly while knocking on his knee, "Time flies, my generation is already old, and it's useless." Such a great river and mountain, it's time to give it to young people. He stood up slowly, glanced at the thoughtful Wei Sa with deep eyes, and arched his hand, "When people are old, their brains are confused, what did we say just now?" Ouch, ouch, look, you can't remember such a twist of the face. Hey, old! Old! What the hell are you talking about? He staggered to his feet and walked back against the railing.
Wei Sa smiled slightly, also stood up, and walked slowly with him, while tidying up the hem of his wrinkled clothes for him, "Yes, don't say that your old man is not smart and forgets, even I, a young man, have forgotten in the blink of an eye." ”
Pei Zheng laughed, even the sheep's horn-like mustache fluttered up and down, the folds on his face seemed to be about to bloom, grabbed Wei Sa's arm, and walked step by step, "The old minister is old, he is old, he is useless, and he stays in the court and is the object of attack and ridicule by others, the old guy who can't walk anymore, and then standing on our main hall, it is a shame for the Great Qi Kingdom, I have already presented it to His Majesty this morning, and I implore him to agree that I, a bad old man, will return to his hometown and live for the rest of his life." ”
Wei Sa pursed his mouth, "Old Prime Minister, I'm afraid this is your wishful thinking, at this time, if my father can agree to you to return to your hometown, there will be ghosts." ”
Pei Zheng laughed again, this time laughing so much that he was almost in tears, shaking his head and sighing, "Hey, Third Highness, it turns out that you are a smart master for a while and confused for a while, the old minister said to sue the old, Your Majesty agreed is naturally good, if Your Majesty does not agree, there are so many pairs of eyes of the military officials above, looking, staring, all in all, this leave has its reasons." ”
Wei Sa thought for a moment, nodded slightly, and helped him slowly walk out of the palace. When approaching the gate of the palace city, Pei Zheng stopped and waved his hand to the guards with a smile, "Third Highness, please stay, and send the old man here." ”
There are many people outside, it is indeed very inconvenient, Wei Sa nodded, saluted him, and was so frightened that Pei Zheng almost jumped to the side, "Don't dare to take it, let people see, the old man will be involved in the court tomorrow." Haha, stay and stay. After speaking, he threw his wide sleeves and took small figure-eight steps, and Pei Zheng left slowly.
The smile that Wei Sa had always had on his face finally slowly disappeared, and he had fully understood what Pei Zheng meant. Wei Ying was anxious to let Wei Ziyan and Zhong Wuyan get married, Chong Xi was just an excuse, the most important thing was that he wanted Wei Ziyan to leave the palace with the tiger talisman. As soon as Wei Lie died, hundreds of thousands of iron cavalry were unled, and if there were ill-intentioned people who wanted to take advantage of the situation to provoke a mutiny, then the situation in the capital would be as dangerous as an egg, and it would be shattered at the first touch. Let Zi Yan take away the Tiger Talisman, at least this move can leave him with half of the country's military power as a backing. With a soldier, this heart is more than half of the ground.
Wei Ying's heart is steady, but they can't step down. Wei Sa walked to a secluded place, leaned his back against the pillars, and pondered, before, he and Wei Cheng were on a par with each other in the court, but after this time he went to Lingnan to control the water, Wei Sa keenly captured the subtle changes in the court's breath, and some ministers who had been neutral seemed to consciously conform to Wei Cheng's views and opinions. Invisibly made him feel the urgent pressure, although he also gathered many talented and virtuous people in Lingnan a few days ago, but after all, the land of Lingnan is far away from the temple, far from the political core of the government and the opposition, even if there is their help, it is a drop in the bucket, to no avail, the current priority is to get the tiger talisman one step earlier than Wei Cheng, and master the military power and strength to compete with it, so that he can have a better chance of winning.
Reaching out and pinching the bridge of his nose, Wei Sa felt tired, since he came back, he often felt that the six gods were masterless, and he didn't know how to alleviate this phenomenon of not knowing what to do. It has been a long time since the next dynasty, and Bao Yan waited outside for a long time and didn't see Wei Sa's figure, so he couldn't help but be a little anxious, and asked around, only to know that Wei Sa was wandering near the palace gate. I trotted all the way over, and I didn't even breathe, so I hurriedly told him.
"Your Highness, Your Highness." Wei Sa grabbed him by the collar and watched him stick out his tongue and gasp for breath amusedly, "What's the panic, say it slowly." ”
Bao Yan swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva before he spoke, "There is a report from the front line that the army of the distant country is attacking the Xiliang border. ”
Wei Sa raised his good-looking eyebrows, and his tone was cold, "Mu Siya, this old thing, really knows how to pick time." "In this way, Xiliang needs to rely on the military and material resources of the Great Qi Kingdom to solve this war, it seems that the king of Xiliang is determined to send his girl to the door. He can't hide from his marriage to Princess String Moon. With a sigh of lamentation, he patted his forehead and walked away, while instructing, "Go and call Bai Jiang, you can't see his figure when you talk about business." ”
Bao Yan hesitated in embarrassment, "This...... Mr. Bai, he ......"
"What did he do?" Wei Sa looked back and asked.
"Mr. Bai went to see Sister Ruoxi." Bao Yan could only tell the truth, he peeked at Wei Sa's brows twisted like a twisted flower, hey, he silently prayed for Bai Jiang in his heart, to put it mildly, Mr. Bai is really, he doesn't look at so many good women, he has to provoke the woman His Royal Highness fancies, it's really incomprehensible, isn't this to find trouble for himself, and he is uncomfortable.
"When did you go?" Wei Satie blushed and asked in a deep voice.
"You go to court with your front foot, and he walks with your back foot."
"Just himself?" The tone sounded even more annoyed.
"It's not." Bao Yan sighed, hey, fortunately, Mr. Bai was not stupid enough to go alone, "Mr. Bai took East China with him." ”
"East China?" Wei Sa raised his eyebrows, he really didn't have much impression of this name, probably ...... He pondered for a moment and asked, "Are you from the Hall of Forgotten Souls?" ”
Bao Yan sighed again, this highness has really spent too much time on other things recently, where has he ever been so confused in the past. "It's a small guy in the stable, I'm only eight years old this year, I did a few days of pedaling for you before, and then I asked the white butler to transfer me to another place and change my job."
Wei Sa tried hard to recall, but there was no result, and his expression was sullen and he didn't speak. Bao Yan peeked at him several times, so he had to be ruthless and explained, "This kid in East China usually has a good relationship with Sister Ruoxi. ”
"Huh?" His footsteps were stagnant, the people around Ruoxi, why did he never pay attention to such a child named Huadong?
"Maybe it's because he is the youngest in our Forgotten Soul Palace, and he doesn't have relatives by his side, so Sister Ruoxi takes extra care of him, I heard that even the matter of changing his errand was mentioned by Sister Ruoxi to Butler Bai." After listening to Baoyan's explanation, Wei Sa understood a little in his heart, no wonder, if it weren't for Bai Jiang's temper, how could he show favor to a little guy for no reason.
"Your Highness?" Bao Yan stood on tiptoe and shook his little hand in front of Wei Sa, wondering, why was His Highness in a daze again?
"Huh?"
"Hey, Your Highness, it's not that the slave talks a lot, you better rest and rest, look at your current appearance, the seven souls are listless, in a few days, Princess Ziyan and Lord Zhong will get married, and then you will have to worry about it, if you don't rest, it won't work." Bao Yan muttered.
Wei Sa grinned and knocked on Baoyan's head, "You're quite well-informed, and you all know about what you just agreed upon?" ”
"Not really. It has long been spread, and the minions are happy for Her Royal Highness. Bao Yan laughed so hard that his eyelashes were about to bloom.
