Chapter 411: Nangong Jin's Past (I)
"Yes, I'm sorry." Song Jiayao said apologetically, and then leaned on Qing'er, constantly suppressing the fear in her heart.
"Miss, you have to believe Master Hou, Master Hou is definitely not willing to let you be sad alone." Qing'er patted her on the shoulder and said.
At the moment, some people also found a random place to set up tents and camp, and some of them were responsible for lighting the campfire and preparing dinner.
Song Jiayao's heart finally didn't sting violently now, but she was still listless.
Shangguan Jing ordered someone to bring dinner to Song Jiayao, Qing'er came out of the carriage and took the dinner, and then sighed helplessly.
"Your young lady still can't put it down, right?" Shangguan Jing said worriedly.
Qing'er nodded at him, didn't say anything more, and then went back to the carriage.
"Miss, let's have something to eat." Qing'er suggested.
Song Jiayao shook her head, she really didn't have any appetite now.
Qing'er is not reluctant, so as not to be clumsy.
Shangguan Jing saw Qing'er bring dinner out of the carriage, and couldn't help but worry: "Miss Song has no appetite?" ”
Qing'er nodded at him, and then handed the things to the soldier in charge of washing.
"I wonder if it's inconvenient to talk to Miss Song in the carriage below?" Shangguan Jing asked.
Qing'er subconsciously looked at Zhang San, after all, it was not good for this lonely man and widow to be in the same room and be rumored out.
"It's okay, he's the Hou Ye's person." Zhang San said calmly, and this person is not a person who is greedy for beauty, and he will not behave in a way that Miss Song does.
And if you take 10,000 steps back, this Shangguan Jing has really moved his hands and feet, and he is still there.
"If the Qing'er girl is not at ease, she can also listen in the carriage, after all, what she is talking about is not a secret." Shangguan Jing said frankly.
Qing'er thought about it, and finally felt that it was better to guard Song Jiayao in the carriage.
The listless Song Jiayao was lying her head on the window of the carriage at the moment, not knowing what she was thinking, and she didn't even notice when Shangguan Jing was sitting in the carriage.
"Ahem......" Shangguan Jing pretended to cough a few times to remind Song Jiayao, but Song Jiayao still didn't react.
Qing'er smiled awkwardly at him, then gently shook Song Jiayao's arm, and said helplessly: "Miss, Shangguan Shilang has come in." ”
Song Jiayao turned her head at this time, and when she saw Shangguan Jing, she nodded at him expressionlessly, and then continued to look out the window, making Shangguan Jing feel that she was almost merging with the darkness outside at this moment.
"Miss Song, are you worried about Master Hou?" Shangguan Jing said calmly, his voice seemed to have a natural feeling of calmness.
It's a pity that Song Jiayao doesn't have a good impression of men other than Nangong Jin, and she doesn't bother to give him a good face.
Shangguan Jing didn't think Song Jiayao was offended like this, but felt that she was very straightforward, after all, she kept a sense of distance from men other than Hou Ye, this kind of woman was very valuable.
At least most of the ladies he knew were not with someone exclusively, but stopped at home orders, looked for multiple men at the same time, and had private contacts.
Anyway, it's Jiang Taigong fishing, and those who wish to take the bait.
"Miss Song, if you feel that you have trouble sleeping and eating, I wonder if you are interested in hearing about the glorious deeds of Master Hou?" Shangguan Jing asked.
Song Jiayao was immediately attracted by his words, sat up straight and looked at him, and made a "please" motion.
"With such a beautiful day, why don't we have a meal and talk at the same time?" Shangguan Jing proposed, Song Jiayao nodded indifferently, and Qing'er bowed slightly to Shangguan Jing gratefully.
In a few moments, the freshly scalding porridge and the roasted and sliced rabbit leg meat were served.
"Master Hou's indifference to women, I won't say much about it, after all, I think Miss Song has also heard a lot of rumors, what kind of blood is splashed three feet or something......"
"If I repeat it below, it doesn't sound very interesting." Shangguan Jing smiled, and took a piece of rabbit meat with chopsticks and tasted it.
Song Jiayao, who originally had no appetite, saw him eat rabbit meat elegantly, and the hunger in her stomach also made her pick up chopsticks and pick up a piece of meat and taste it.
"Master Hou's affairs in the army, I don't think you have heard of it." Shangguan Jing put down his chopsticks, and his eyes were bent, like the half-bent bright moon hanging in the air.
Song Jiayao shook her head, she really hadn't heard of Nangong Jin in the barracks.
"Although Lord Hou is rumored to be a ghost by the world, he is the backbone of our army in the army, this Da'an Dynasty, without his protection, I am afraid it would have become the meat in the mouths of other countries, and where can ordinary people live and work in peace and contentment." Shangguan Jing said with emotion.
"However, the reason why the people of our Da'an Dynasty can live and work in peace and contentment is all because of the hard work of the Hou Ye."
“!!” Song Jiayao looked at him in shock, what do you mean that Nangong Jin fought with her life? Nangong Jin's status in the entire Da'an Dynasty is second only to Zhao Yue, and it can be said that the power is monstrous, and he has become the demon feared by the ministers of the court, and he wants to get rid of it.
"Have you ever heard that when our Hou Ye first led the troops to the battle, he was only twelve years old." Shangguan Jing asked.
Song Jiayao shook her head, in her last life, she was almost fascinated by Lin An, circling around him all day long, and she didn't have time to listen to other people's gossip.
She remembered that Song Feng seemed to have mentioned that Nangong Jin was young and led troops to the battle, but she didn't know what the specific situation was.
"Master Hou, in order to protect the young and old deputy generals, he volunteered to be a prisoner, and was tortured by the enemy until he only took his last breath and let him back."
"Maybe Master Hou's life shouldn't be extinguished, he only has this breath left, and he was also rescued by the military doctor who came with the army."
"Subsequently, no one knows what method Hou Ye used, and after he recovered from his injuries, it took him only one day to make the enemy surrender and sign the regulations for losing power and humiliating the country."
"Since then, Lord Hou has become famous." Shangguan Jing recalled, but he admired Nangong Jin's courage to put himself to death and survive, after all, how many people in this world can really do this.
Song Jiayao listened silently, although she did not participate in Nangong Jin's past, but from Shangguan Jing's understated description, she could also guess that the young Nangong Jin almost walked through the ghost gate.
"He is the Marquis of Ping'an, and the title is still hereditary, isn't there a capable person in the court?" Song Jiayao asked rhetorically.
Shangguan Jing shook his head helplessly at her, there were too many involved, and some of them were already old things.
"Our Da'an pilgrimage to the Holy Heaven is so important to Master Hou, do you know why?" Shangguan Jing asked rhetorically.
“!!” Something flashed through Song Jiayao's mind, could it be that the ones passed down by the world were true!!
"Don't be surprised, it's exactly what you think." Shangguan Jing affirmed, and then took another piece of rabbit meat into his mouth and chewed it lightly.
Song Jiayao was attracted by Nangong Jin's past, and followed with a piece of rabbit meat into her mouth, and drank the porridge that was gradually cooling.
"We are saints, but the ninth son of the emperor born to an unfavored concubine, he has excellent moral character since he was a child, and he has no quarrel with the world, but his brothers can't tolerate him, just like the previous majesty was afraid that the power of the Ping'an Hou and their family would be monstrous and plot to rebel." Shangguan Jing recalled.
"So the rumors of killing fathers and brothers are true?" Song Jiayao was surprised.
"The matter of killing my brother is true, but the matter of killing my father is not related to the affairs of the saint today, and I guess it may be related to Lord Hou."
"Impossible!!" Song Jiayao denied it, how could Nangong Jin, who was so loyal, do such a rebellious thing?
"Miss Song, have you ever met Master Hou's parents?" Shangguan Jing asked rhetorically.
Song Jiayao shook her head, indeed, she really didn't hear Nangong Jin mention his parents, not even her sister who died early but was now reborn into Song Jiarou's body, except when she was drunk.
"Is it related to his sister?" Song Jiayao said tentatively, apart from this reason, she really couldn't think of any other reason.
"It seems that Nangong Jin trusts you wholeheartedly, otherwise why would he even tell you about his sister." Shangguan Jing said enviously.
Song Jiayao shook her head again, Nangong Jin hadn't talked to her about his sister in detail.
"I only heard him mention it when he was drunk, and at that time he was very envious of my brother having a younger sister, and he looked down on me in all kinds of ways, and made all kinds of stumbling blocks." Song Jiayao recalled that the two of them were not as smart as they are now at the beginning.
"Yes, it seems that this has always been a hurdle in his heart." Shangguan Jing said helplessly, what happened at that time, Nangong Jin may not be able to let go of it in this life.
"His sister died because of him." Shangguan Jing smashed this heavy bomb down, which made Song Jiayao think that there was a problem with her hearing.
"This is impossible, Nangong Jin obviously loves his sister very much, how could he let his sister risk and die for him!!" Song Jiayao was surprised.
"Your Majesty, who took office, was suspicious all day long, worried that his country would change hands, listened to the villain's words, arrested and imprisoned the loyal ministers of the court one by one on various charges, and tortured them to death."
"The first to bear the brunt is the Ping'an Hou family." Shangguan Jing said angrily, mentioning the previous monarch, most people felt that he was shameful, hateful, and pathetic.
"The Holy Lord sent someone to secretly poison Hou Ye during a feast, but he didn't expect to be accidentally hit by the little lady and drank the poisonous cup of peach blossom brew to death."
"Hou Ye's parents suffered from the lack of evidence, and they couldn't openly confront the imperial power, so this matter was finally settled."
Song Jiayao was so frightened by Shangguan Jing's words that the rabbit meat that had been chewed in her mouth stuck in her throat when she just choked.
No wonder Nangong said at that time that his sister was killed by a traitor!!
"However, the Holy Lord did not stop there, and repeatedly sent informants lurking in the Ping'an Hou Mansion to poison the Hou Ye, wanting to make the Hou Mansion have no sons and grandchildren, but fortunately, the Hou Ye was favored by God, so he repeatedly escaped." Shangguan Jing said sadly and indignantly, he only complained that he was powerless at that time, otherwise how could Hou Ye suffer such a tragic past.
"In order to protect Hou Ye, Hou Ye's parents finally had no choice but to hand over the military power."
