Chapter 175: Yanran returns
Xiang Tianqi immediately lowered his face and said indignantly: "I know what you are worried about, I will also put my words here today, even if he Chu Li allows me to be a Wuji King, I am not uncommon!" He strode on the ground a few times, and said angrily, "The rivers and mountains of Eastern Chu are worried about the north and the south, I am born and died to Tianqi for the peaceful and prosperous world of Eastern Chu, today he Chu Li wants to shake me with a few words of bewitchment, he really looks up to himself!" β
"This king has another great use for you to stay here, now that Liangzhou is locked and guarded by the young lord of Tang, Chu Li's people can't go all the way to Liangzhou. But the dog always wants to jump off the wall when he is in a hurry, he has been planning for a long time, and he will not stop there! Besides, Chu Jue is in Taiping Town, so it is most suitable for you to stay here to deal with emergencies. Qin Yan said earnestly.
Xiang Tianqi slowly calmed down, frowning and thinking.
After a while, he looked up at Qin Yan, "It's not like there's still you here, it's useless for me to stay here, it's better to go to Liangzhou to kill it." β
"This king is going to Chuzhou tomorrow!" Qin Yan met his gaze, "There are 20,000 soldiers and horses hidden by Chu Li in Xiaolongquan Town, and there are 1,800 miles from Liangzhou to the capital, isn't it enough for you to be busy?" β
Xiang Tianqi's eyes widened suddenly, pointing in the direction of Longquan Town outside the tent, and he opened his mouth in a sneering voice, "It's so close to the capital, he actually has so many secret soldiers, and no one of us knows?" β
Qin Yan's eyes suddenly became cold, and without speaking, he could make the people around him clearly perceive the coldness.
Mu Qingyan did not enter the tent, leaning on a big tree not far from the tent and counting the almost invisible stars, listening to what everyone in the tent was talking about, a little absent-minded.
Qin Yan could see her frowning brows almost as soon as she looked up, the outside of the tent was exposed, and the thin gauze clothes on her body didn't know if they were wet with dew. He secretly clenched his fists, afraid that he would take her away on impulse.
Before the matter was over, he spoke a little impatiently, "Lu Shaoqian, order 30,000 Xuanyi guards and the soldiers and horses brought by Xiang Hou together, and go north through Longquan Town tonight, this king wants you to use these 50,000 elite soldiers to ensure that Liangzhou City is safe." β
"Yes, follow the Tiger King's order!" Lu Shaoqian got up, took Qin Yan and his Xuanyi guard talisman, and hurriedly went out. Under the eyes of everyone, he stopped for a moment when he passed by Mu Qingyan's side, and bowed respectfully.
Mu Qingyan bent down lightly and returned the salute, with a smile on his lips, it was actually a beautiful scenery.
Qin Yan twisted her eyebrows instantly, her worldly appearance that had never been put on makeup was looked at like this, and her heart was slightly blocked. "Xiang Tianqi!" His cold voice recalled his eyes that had already drifted to Mu Qingyan, "You are in charge of the affairs here, there are still 70,000 soldiers and horses left in this mountain col, if Chu Jue enters the capital from you......" He suddenly stopped, stared at him and looked back, and was slightly mocking.
Xiang Tianqi restrained his mind, but the woman outside the tent was too attractive, knowing that her relationship with Qin Yan was not ordinary, but she couldn't control her eyes. "Don't worry, the Tiger King, even if he Chu Jue has the ability, he will not want to run rampant on my land to Tianqi, look at you!"
Qin Yan didn't bother to say half a word of nonsense, stood up and shook his robe lightly and walked out.
Xiang Tianqi called behind him: "Tiger King, this is leaving?" β
Qin Yan didn't pay attention to it at all, he walked to the tree and took Mu Qingyan's hand, and whispered softly, "It's late at night, go back to sleep!" β
Mu Qingyan looked at him in a daze for a while, then looked back at a few people who were obviously curious outside the camp, and obediently led him out of the camp, looking for the way back to Longquan Town.
The sky was slightly dark, and the two simply washed up and went to bed.
When he was about to sleep, a few soft noises fell from the window.
"Master!" The voice of the person who came was very soft, it was a woman.
Mu Qingyan heard who she was, and asked her in surprise, "Yanran, you're back!" She rolled out of bed from Qin Yan's body, ran to the window barefoot, and hurriedly pushed open the slightly old window, with a happy face.
"Jing, who is advancing on the fifth day, is it Yanran who worries the master!" She looked apologetic, lowered her head and bowed deeply to Mu Qingyan, "My subordinates are here with Lord Xin, I really can't wait to see you!" β
Mu Qingyan stretched out her hand to caress the hideous scar on her face, and asked her distressedly, "Obviously there is a way, but when I meet you with such a stubborn temper and a good flower and moon appearance, you are not afraid that he will have nightmares at night." β
The two words of the slight drama made the tears in Yanran's eyes roll down, and he grabbed Mu Qingyan's arm and shook his head, "Master, you are getting clearer and clearer, Yanran is distressed...... Woo..."
"Okay, okay, don't cry!" Mu Qingyan looked back at Qin Yan who was leaning on the head of the bed, and turned around to comfort Yanran, "Go and prepare the fast horse, I will go to Chuzhou in the afternoon, you will go with me." β
Yanran nodded happily and wiped her tears with her sleeve, "Yes, my subordinates will prepare!" She peeked into the room, and was about to close the window from the outside.
Mu Qingyan glanced at her and closed the window by her.
Qin Yan got out of bed, walked to her in three steps and two steps, picked her up and walked back to the bed, looked at her angrily and threatened, "Be careful of being beaten if you don't wear shoes again!" β
Mu Qingyan was in a good mood and didn't care about him, and quickly fell asleep with one arm on his pillow.
In just ten days, Qin Yan began to get in touch with her world bit by bit, and her unevasive trust made him inexplicably steadfast in his heart. The woman in the crook of her arm has the tranquility of pure water, and also has the means to make decisions; There is stubbornness and stubbornness, and there is also a strategy that no one in the world can match.
Jet-black hair spread over her shoulders, and on his. Qin Yan gently smoothed the disobedient broken hair on her cheeks behind her ears, and her fan-like eyelashes formed two neat butterfly shadows, the more she looked at it, the more heartwarming it became.
I don't know how many times I told myself: I will go to propose marriage when I return to the capital!
Jincheng, the city lord's mansion.
Jincheng was made the city lord by the third princess's concubine merchant thirty years ago, Jing Liang's imperial aunt, Chu Yue's third aunt, and the mother of the Ming and Chongqing emperors, Chu Yue has had the three princesses since she was a child.
Jing Liang didn't feel a headache when he thought about it.
He shook off the urgent mail in the capital and hurriedly glanced at it, and the signature evil smile instantly overflowed from his eyes.
"Fengbei Town? Then the king will accompany you to play a game of cat and mouse! He immediately summoned his personal secret guard Wu Huan, and commanded in a low voice: "Go to Fengbei Town and let people spread some rumors, just say that Chu Li was captured in Liangzhou." His fox heart was all revealed, "Be quiet, you know?" β
Wuhuan has followed Jing Liang since he was a child, and naturally knows what the scope of his so-called quietness is, nodding his head, and leaving with a smile similar to Jing Liang on his lips.
Jing Liang is like no one else, drinking tea and listening to the whispers of swallows under the corridor. The mother swallow was not at home, and a few yellow-mouthed little swallows poked their heads out of the nest, and their small black eyes looked curiously at their unknown world.
He secretly pondered: Gongzi Jue exiled the prince with absolute mercy, and did not pursue Chu Li, who was far away. The second prince Chu Jue, the third prince Chu Xun, the fifth prince Chu Jue, and the eighth prince Chu Jue were all lenient, not only did they not win the title, but they did not levy a penny of fiefdom in the past five years. But the result?
At present, only the fifth prince, Chu Jue, is out of the matter and is not involved in national turmoil.
Shang Zi saw that he died early, and Jincheng was succeeded by Shang Mingyuan, the son of Shang's family, as the city lord. Shang Mingyuan was a generous and conservative person, and Jincheng and its affiliated villages and towns did not develop much during his years as the city lord, and they were ten years behind Liangzhou, whose arable land and water power were inferior to his. But Shang Siyuan, the second son of the merchant, is ambitious, and he is also favored by the third princess.
Since Jing Liang entered Jincheng, the third princess has not given him much good face; and often sneered at his wolf ambitions, helping outsiders to gain power and enjoy all the glory and wealth. He laughed but did not refute, waiting for the imperial aunt to recruit him.
Jincheng only has 20,000 troops to defend the city, and it is far from Chu Yue's exile, it seems that Gongzi Jue's benevolence was used in the wrong place, and the innate evil charm on Jing Liang's lips became even more presumptuous.
"It's okay, if you have a good life, but you want to find your own death, then it's no wonder that this king is coming!" He threw down the teacup and muttered to himself.
The epidemic in Jincheng is not as serious as in Liangzhou, and there are no deaths or injuries among those who have been poisoned, but they are just fainting and unconscious, and there are not many of them. Jing Liang went out early in the morning, and did not return home late at night, often coming back at dawn, and eight out of ten days were drunk and unconscious.
According to the prescription given by Qin Yan, you will be able to give it a try. But he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and he jumped like thunder. There were more and more sick people in the city, and he was spinning around like Shang Mingyuan's headless flies.
He looked at the changes in Jincheng with cold eyes, the smell of those weapons floating in the dark became stronger and stronger, and the atmosphere in the city lord's mansion became more and more weird.
On this day, Jincheng, which had been restless for half a month, suddenly quieted down a little, but there were more people on the street than usual. Jing Liang stood on the third floor of the Qingyan Winery, looking at the extra martial arts people in the city, and finally smiled like a hunter.
A pot of wine on the table had been drunk, and the lingering fragrance lingered in the room for a long time.
"Surfing the sand? ChΓ’teau Qingzhen really lives up to its name! Jing Liang burped and swayed out, and the little guy who came with the City Lord's Mansion didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly went up and took him back to the City Lord's Mansion.
Jing Liang took away his edge, really like an idle prince, and teased the little guy all the way into the second gate. Suddenly, he reprimanded, "Look what you look like, you can get drunk in broad daylight?" The third princess held the maid's hand and blocked the second gate, mocking with disdain, "How can the imperial sister say that she is also the eldest princess of Dongchu, hasn't she always boasted of strict etiquette?" According to the palace, her eldest son is just like this? β
"Aunt Huang, this king is just greedy for a few cups, so you won't be so angry with your old man?" Jing Liang hid the heroism in his eyebrows, and leaned on the shoulder of the little guy in a ruffian, "This king is also a hero of Eastern Chu, shouldn't he have fun in time in a peaceful and prosperous world?" "His evil spirit is slightly revealed, and he is frivolous and slow.
The third princess was furious, gritted her teeth and scolded hatefully, "Do you still have the face to say?" put the orthodox bloodline unprotected, but protected the wild seed that came out of nowhere to become the emperor, is this also what your mother taught you? β
"Aunt Huang, this king's mother is not something that anyone can count!" He raised half of his eyebrows and looked at the third princess sideways.
The third princess suddenly felt a gust of yin wind for no reason, but her arrogance had long been a habit, how could she put a gentlemanly junior in her eyes, "What if the palace said it?" She smiled sarcastically, "If she can't teach the juniors well, my sister will do the work for me, you go back to the room for me, and I still have something to tell you when I wake up!" She commanded Jing Liang in a commanding tone.
Jing Liang shook off the little servant's hand and really shook it into the courtyard where he stayed.
"Go cook the decanting soup, don't make Hongu wait too long!" The third princess stared at his unruly back and scolded the maids hatefully, in her opinion, Jing Liang just relied on the status of the eldest princess to pick up a ready-made big bargain.
Jing Liang slept soundly in the room until it was dark, and Shang Mingyuan sent someone to invite him to dinner.
Two days after Wuhuan went to Fengbei Town, people came back with news: Fengbei Town was unusually quiet, there was no figure on the street at night, but there were a large number of secret guards outside the town. Unable to find Chu Yue's whereabouts, the news of Chu Li's capture has been passed into the town, and the prince is asked to wait.
Jing Liang changed into a crimson gold silk python robe, buckled a jade belt carved with peonies, wore a red gold pile peony crown on his head, and hung a sword under his waist. He walked calmly and domineeringly, which was actually two extremes from when he was drunk before.
The little guy was in front, trembling and trotting to lead the way. But no matter whether he was fast or slow, the man like a demon king behind him was not far or close, and he followed him without hurrying, and he never lost half a step.
The three tables of banquets in the hall were lined up, and Shang Mingyuan saw him come in, and hurriedly raised his robe to greet him, but his brows were tightly locked, and he hesitated.
Shang Siyuan quickly arrived at Jing Liang's side, and personally sat down with a bit of flattery, "Brother Wang, please take a seat!" β
Jing Liang didn't shirk either, the good-looking Danfeng didn't even raise his eyelids, and sat arrogantly on the right seat.
Shang Siyuan handed over the teacup with his own hand, he took it and took two sips before raising his head slightly: "Everyone sit down, don't be formal!" The words were also high-spirited.
Shang Siyuan affectionately beckoned everyone to sit down, and hurriedly ran back and forth.
Jing Liang lowered his eyes and sniffed the fragrance of tea in the cup, and those uninvited people outside the window had surrounded the courtyard. He pretended not to notice, frowned and complained to Shang Mingyuan: "This person who makes tea should stomp his hands, it is obviously a good tea, but it is spoiled because the water is too hot." He put down the teacup in disgust, "Let's go, this king will be upset when he looks at it." β
The one who sat at the end of the table sneered, "Jincheng is in a remote area, how can there be the wealth of the capital, King Yan might as well be a general, and it will be easy to get along in the future!" Immediately after his voice fell, someone answered: "What about wealth, it depends on how long it can last." β
Shang Siyuan had a touch of pride in his eyes, and hurriedly picked up the conversation, "The people of the rivers and lakes are home to the world, what is the use of the wealth that deceives the sky, it is the right thing to get drunk and rest, please!" He raised his lamp and drank first, and everyone drank with him.
"According to the poor road, if the epidemic is everywhere today, the people are struggling to make a living, and Dongchu is in danger of survival." An elder dressed as a Taoist priest sighed and shook his head regretfully.
A man wearing a scarf beside him responded and said, "If a thief usurps the dynasty, the heavens will punish him, and retribution is coming!" β
"This is the catastrophe of Dongchu, sooner or later, it will be necessary to recover this great river and mountain before this catastrophe can be overcome!" Someone answered. Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapters of "Jinyue Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
