Chapter 20 See you in the city
The person who came was dressed in a light blue power suit, and he could vaguely see the bulging muscles under his clothes, his expression was solemn, and his expression was respectful, "The master just met the two of them the day before yesterday!" β
"Oh?" Shangguan Zixuan's face showed a slight suspicious look, he looked towards the second floor of the restaurant in front of him, and saw that there was indeed a white shadow standing next to the window on the second floor, that person had a delicate face, gloomy eyes, and a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, wasn't it the Qi King Zhao Xian who he had only seen two days ago?
Shangguan took Murong Xun up to the restaurant together. King Qi was still standing by the window, and after hearing the sound behind him, he turned around, waved his hand to Shangguan Zixuan and Murong Xun, and said, "No need to be polite, let's take a look at the excitement!" Chang'an hasn't been so lively for a long time! β
Murong Xun and Shangguan Zixuan paced to the window together, glanced down from a distance, and saw several naked men kneeling in the middle of the street surrounded by the people, these men's hands were covered behind their backs, their heads were lowered, there were still some scars on their bodies, and there was a thick blood between their crotches. β
The corners of Murong Xun's eyes jumped slightly, raised his eyebrows, glanced at King Qi suspiciously, and asked, "Lord Wang, what is going on?" β
King Qi smiled lowly, his laughter was hoarse and harsh, and then he turned his eyes and glanced at Murong Xun and Shangguan Zixuan, sat down on the stool on the side, poured himself a glass of wine, and said: "These people are all envoys of the Wei State, the wolf ambition of the Wei State, I have coveted Daxiang for a long time, and the two sides have fought countless battles, since the Nanjia who guarded the southern Xinjiang eight years ago was beheaded by the Manchus, the Wei State has become more and more rampant, although it has been peaceful in recent years, However, every year, envoys from Wei come to Daxiang to discuss trade and other matters between the two countries, but these envoys are becoming more and more unlikely! β
King Qi stopped and took a sip of wine, and continued: "These cowardly guys molested a young lady a few days ago, but unfortunately this young lady is a real fierce person, and she committed suicide when she was humiliated on the street. But today, these guys were stripped naked and castrated in the place where the girl committed suicide to "show the public"! β
"But I don't know who did it, but I admire his courage!" Shangguan Zixuan's eyes unconsciously showed a few hints of admiration, but when his eyes came into contact with the men who were "showing the public", he was a little unbearable, "It's just that this kind of technique is too cruel, it's better to kill it!" β
"Huh!" King Qi sneered, "This is completely the behavior of a reckless man, I am afraid that this practice will cause a war between the two countries, and it will be the people who will suffer, but the lives of the frontier soldiers will be sacrificed!" β
"It is the blind forbearance that makes the Wei envoys more and more arrogant, if they do not fight back, the other party will think that Da Xiang is afraid of them, and further fuel their arrogance. And Wei has coveted Daxiang for a long time, and if the above still seeks peace, it is simply to raise the soup to stop boiling, and treat the symptoms but not the root cause. And my Daxiang army is all iron-blooded men, if even the people of the country can't protect and let others humiliate, it will be a great shame for them, and the only thing that can wash away the shame is blood! β
After a pause, Murong Xun continued: "It's just that to the disappointment of the people's daughters, it is not the government that came forward to give them severe punishment with the law of Daxiang's justice, so as to promote the prestige of my Daxiang country, which is inviolable. It's an unknown hero who can only vent his anger temporarily! β
"Unknown hero!" King Qi glanced at Murong Xun deeply, a sarcastic smile appeared on his lips, and he said, "Isn't this unknown hero the one under King Qin?" At this moment, King Qin is afraid that he is in a hurry to clean up the mess! β
"It's not a good habit for the royal brother to talk about people behind his back!"
Before King Qi's words were finished, an abrupt voice suddenly broke in, King Qi's face changed, his eyes were gloomy, and he changed to a smiling face, "It turned out to be the seventh brother!" β
While speaking, he saw that the five-colored bead curtain in the private room on the second floor was provoked, and Zhao Ling appeared in front of everyone in a dark clothes. His face was still pale from a long illness, but the sword eyebrows that slanted into his sideburns and his eyes as cold as stars all showed that he was in good spirits at the moment.
Zhao Ling walked towards Zhao Xian step by step, his steps were not hurried or slow, but he gave people an invisible sense of oppression, this sense of oppression was an aura that could only be released from the people who had experienced the bloody baptism on the battlefield and stepped on the white bones. Zhao Xian suddenly felt his heart tighten, and his smile became a little stiff.
"I've seen King Qin!"
"I've seen King Qin!"
Murong Xun and Shangguan Zixuan greeted Zhao Ling.
Zhao Ling pursed his lips and said lightly: "No need to be polite!" His eyes were as deep as the sea, his eyes were cold as a pool, and there was a little brilliance, but he was motionless and fixed on Murong Xun's fair face.
In the middle of the ring, Fang Cai inadvertently looked away, and glanced at Zhao Xian with a slightly sharp gaze in the cold, and the corners of Zhao Ling's mouth twitched, "Fourth brother is in a good mood!" He glanced around at the people in the room again, and his smile deepened, but his eyes were like the ice branches of the moon and the sky, and the snow was cold, "What are you looking at?" β
Zhao Xian stabilized his mind, and after filling the white porcelain wine glass opposite with mellow wine, he handed it to Zhao Ling, and said with a smile: "Why do you want to ask knowingly, Seventh Brother!" I don't know what the seventh brother is going to do? β
Zhao Ling took the wine handed by Zhao Xian, the tip of his nose moved slightly, sniffed the wine, and said with a light smile: "The fourth brother is really a person who can enjoy it, and this old daughter red can only be drunk here by the fourth brother!" β
Zhao Xian's nose stirred, raised his eyes and glanced at the casual smile on the corner of Zhao Ling's mouth, and said with a smile: "The seventh brother will laugh, the third brother values you Daxiang, who doesn't know, the treasures in the world, I can't wait to give them all to your Qin Palace!" After a slight pause, King Qi lowered his voice and said: "This matter has a big impact, and the third brother will definitely give Wei Guo an explanation, so I advise you not to shield that person, so as not to set yourself on fire." After all, half of the court's eyes are on you! β
Zhao Ling drank all the wine in the cup in one gulp, the smile on the corner of his mouth did not disappear like the coldness in his eyes, he did not answer Zhao Xian's words, but moved his gaze to the window, flickering slightly, his eyes seemed to be darkened a little, and then looked at Murong Xun and Shangguan Zixuan standing by the window, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "Do you think so too?" β
Murong Xun lowered his eyes and thought about it, and was about to speak, when Shangguan Zixuan on the side continued: "This is the prince's business, the prince is far-sighted, and he has a plan in his heart, and the lower officials are shallow and shallow, so they don't dare to make assertions!" β
Zhao Ling pursed his lips, his eyes showed a little disappointment, and the corners of his mouth hooked again, and said with a smile: "It's this king who embarrasses you, you don't ask about political affairs, it's known to the world!" The smile was on his lips, with a hint of sarcasm.
At this time, there was some agitation in the street below, and several columns of soldiers passed through the crowd to disperse the crowd of onlookers, and several dying men in the crowd were lifted onto stretchers and hurried away. The soldiers were commanded by a young man dressed in a maroon white crane robe, the man was about twenty-four or five years old, with a delicate face, bright red lips, and a hint of femininity, riding a tall brown horse, and he looked more and more handsome and extraordinary. This person is Su Zipei, who has just replaced Yin Ling in Chang'an.
The crowd dispersed as if they were afraid of getting into trouble, and the streets below suddenly became quiet, leaving only pools of blood on the ground.
"The martyr woman who committed suicide is Chen Fang's fiancΓ©e, if a man can't even protect his own woman and homeland, what kind of man is he worth!" Zhao Ling raised his head slightly, and smiled a little flamboyantly, a little down, "This king admires Chen Fang is a man, so he, this king is guaranteed!" β
The corners of Zhao Xian's mouth were blurred into a touch of unclear meaning, and he couldn't see joy and sorrow.
Shangguan Zixuan lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes trembled slightly, his amber eyes darkened, revealing a bit of indescribable sorrow, he raised his head and said, "The road below is open, and Xiaguan has something to do, so he will leave first!" β
After finishing speaking, he left with Murong Xun.
Murong Xun raised his hand to pick up the five-colored bead curtain, the beads collided in mid-air, making a slight crisp sound, her steps paused, and turned to look at Zhao Ling, "The prince cares about his subordinates, distinguishes between right and wrong, and is above board, not only a good son on the battlefield, the people's daughters are short-sighted, but they also know the value of morality, if the prince helps, the people's daughters thank the prince on behalf of the weak women in the world!" With that, Murong Xun put down the bead curtain and left slowly.
I saw that behind her, Zhao Ling's eyes lit up, and the sunlight outside the window shone on his body, fading out of the halo, handsome as a god.
Zhao Xian looked at all this jealously, gritted his teeth and smiled: "Seventh brother is really heroic, but for brother, I still have to remind you, don't be pushed out, and carry the black pot for nothing!" β
Zhao Ling was still standing by the window, his eyes were on a carriage that had just passed by on the street, and he said half-loudly: "Thank you Fourth Brother for reminding me!" β
Carriage above.
Shangguan Zixuan glanced at Murong Xun's expression, opened his mouth but did not speak.
Murong Xun glanced at him lightly and asked, "Have something to say?" β
Shangguan Zixuan paused and said, "Do you think I'm too wise to protect myself?" β
Murong Xun glanced at Shangguan Zixuan, he was dressed in a beige brocade suit, warm as jade, and looked like a good son of a turbid world, like a green lotus standing in the world, like a maple leaf standing in the forest, the kind of temperament that should have been free from the world was suppressed a little because of the contamination of mortal dust, he is a person who does not belong to power. With a light smile, Murong Xun said: "Everyone who exists independently in the world has their own unique personality and mission, and there is no need to change themselves in order to meet the hopes of others!" Her eyes swept softly over Shangguan Zixuan's face, and said, "Shangguan, you don't belong to Chang'an!" β
