Chapter 81: Into the Tiger's Den
Hong Ying wanted to use her kinship to get some words out of Gu Zhongliang's mouth, but Gu Zhongliang asked her if she was willing to tell him where the prince was.
It's not that Hongying is reluctant to say it, it's really that she doesn't know whether Chu Luo is the so-called prince in his mouth, so she has to use: "Uncle forgive Hongying for being presumptuous, although you and I are related, we are still not very close, so the transaction between us is still valid!" β
She originally thought that Gu Zhongliang would be alienated from her because of this, but who knew that Gu Zhongliang stared at her for a long time, and suddenly laughed, and said: "It is worthy of being my Gu family's children, cold enough and absolutely cold!" β
"Uh......" Hongying's head is full of black lines, I really don't know if this uncle is praising her or scolding her?
On the same day, she returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and at the beginning of the Jin Dynasty, she proposed a dowry to the Mansion, but was stopped by Chu Luo and said, "The Prime Minister's Mansion does not welcome outsiders now. β
In order to avoid any disputes between the two men, Hong Ying personally rode a horse to catch up with Jin Chu, and said with a smile: "My little nephew has a bad temper since he was a child, you don't have to care." β
Jin Chu saw the beauty chasing after him at first glance, and was slightly proud, so he said generously: "How can you worry about him!" β
"That'll be fine." Hong Yingwan smiled, her smile was like a bright morning sun, and she couldn't wait to put her hands on her and disassemble her into her belly.
The way men like women is always so direct, it's no wonder that some people say that men are animals who think on the lower half of their bodies! Jin Chu concealed the evil thoughts in his heart, and when he saw that Hongying was carrying a package, he asked, "What do you mean by this?" β
Hongying smiled: "I'm the same as you, I didn't like Chu Luo, so I ran away from home, but now I have nowhere to go......" Jin Chu hurriedly said: "It's better to go to my house, my father will be happy." He really didn't expect that this marriage would become so simple.
Hongying was a little shy and said, "Then how can you be embarrassed?" β
"What does it matter, it's a matter of time anyway." Jin Chu's face was like a crown of jade, and he always had a soft smile, which was very comfortable, but he was lustful for him, and Hongying knew the roots, so he was not bewitched by his appearance, but just returned him with an innocent smile!
With the people and horses of the early Jin Dynasty, they directly entered the Pingnan Palace. In front of the glorious gate, the four big characters of Pingnan Wangfu are engraved with a small golden seal, they are like a dragon, whistling in the clouds, just entering the palace, Hongying is slightly surprised, and the high walls are arranged layer by layer, around the tall screen, simple and undecorated.
Bypassing the screen-like city wall, Hong Ying only walked into the main hall, but the main hall lived, but not the king of Pingnan, but the family of the Pingnan Palace, look at the family Ding muscular, at a glance you know that it has been practiced, the ethereal pavilion also has some reports about the Pingnan Palace, although I knew that the construction of the Pingnan Palace is mostly for military purposes, but really walked here, Hong Ying only felt that her hands and feet were a little cold. With such huge courtyard walls and defenses, how could she escape from here?
Jin Chu proudly introduced the construction and scale of the city wall, and said that the surface of these city walls looks like screens, so it is not easy to arouse the suspicion of outsiders, in fact, in this city wall, there are also forts and arrow towers, not to mention people, even flies can not slip away from the high altitude of Pingnan Palace......
Hong Ying's face turned pale when she heard this, she really entered the jackal's den this time, and it was difficult to fly with her wings! However, she quickly calmed down, and secretly remembered the dead spots behind the overlapping screens, thinking about how to escape.
At the beginning of the Jin Dynasty, he thought that Hongying was interested in the architecture of his palace, so he searched even harder to find out the little defensive knowledge he knew to satisfy Hongying's curiosity.
Hong Ying finally praised from the bottom of her heart: "It is really the great crystallization of human historical engineering!" "The architect who can design this palace is either a god or a ghost, and it seems that if there is a civil war in the future, he will definitely not be able to take people in the Pingnan Palace.
Walking through the servant's front hall, in the center, the main hall of the palace, which represents the central group, was stunned and unfolded in front of Hongying. The main hall of the palace does not have the squeamishness of the Prime Minister's Mansion, nor is it as domineering as the General's Mansion, but it is simple and comfortable to look at. Hong Ying silently praised Jin Huai in her heart: "I didn't expect that Jin Huai's old traitor is not useless, at least in terms of resource saving expenses, he still has a set!" β
Jin Chu first asked Hongying to wait outside the door, he went in to meet Jin Huai, and said with joy in his heart: "The child meets his father!" Jin Huai raised his eyes lightly and asked, "Why are you so happy?" β
Jin Chu said happily: "It's Hongying, Hongying responded to the child's invitation and came to the palace to spend a few days...... "In his territory, he can naturally do whatever he wants!"
Who knew that Jin Huai listened to his report, and he was angry, and smashed the ink inkstone in his hand at him, and his moon-white clothes were splashed with ink, and even his face was affected, and he asked in panic: "Why is my father angry?" β
Jin Huaiqi's hands trembled and said, "You ignorant child, this is to lure the wolf into the room!" β
Jin Chu was puzzled, but he was a little dissatisfied with Jin Huai's momentum, and said, "Where did my father say this? Hong Ying is just a woman, even if she is kept at home, she will never pose any threat to her father's imperial hegemony! β
"What do you know?" Jin Huai took a deep breath and scolded him: "The men in the entire capital have done something, why did this king give birth to a foolish son like you?" Thinking of the actions of his nemesis Chu Qingxiang and Sima Wuya's two sons in recent days, Jin Huai couldn't help but sigh: Giving birth to children should be like Chu Luo, Sima Ting and the like......
Looking at Jin Huai's regretful eyes, Jin Chu said unwillingly: "If her father doesn't like her, her son will send her back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, why should my father be angry?" β
"Send it back? Hum! You are really naΓ―ve, this Chu Hongying, it is not as simple as you think, you, you, you actually gave Qingfeng Lou to her, you ...... "Jin Huai is really angry, originally he didn't find that Qingfeng Lou has any important role, but since Qingfeng Lou came to Hong Ying's hands, where to give discounts to people in the rivers and lakes, attracting many heroes to patronize, and now there are many masters who have been enveloped by Hong Ying, which also made him re-acquaint himself with Hong Ying. originally thought that she was just a wild girl in the countryside, so she didn't have to worry about it, but the situation in Kyoto was becoming more and more unpredictable because of Hongying, and he had to be cautious.
Jin Chu bowed his head and endured his reprimand.
Jin Huai scolded enough, and then said: "Now that I send her back, it seems that our Pingnan Mansion really has some ulterior secrets, these days, you take a good look at her, don't let her run around." And don't cause anything to happen to me, she is now in our territory, if something goes wrong with her, the general's mansion will naturally not give up, you remember it for me, she is in my Pingnan palace for a day, you can't touch her. β
Jin Chu gritted his teeth and nodded, and said, "Obey my father's will." After he said that, Jin Huai signaled that he could go out...... Jin Huai leaned on the table, sighed again, his sharp eagle eyes showed slight tiredness at this time, he held the armrest of the Taishi chair with his right hand, and muttered to himself: "No matter what you want to do, this king will make your hands empty!" β
Hong Ying was outside the door, she could hear the sound of the two arguing, but she couldn't hear what they were talking about, Jin Chu came out, wearing Yue Bai's Confucian robe, the ink was a little bit, a little embarrassed, she was a little apologetic, and said, "I'm sorry, I scolded you......"
Jin Chu's face was quite gloomy, and he couldn't get angry at her, so he just said lightly: "It's not a big deal!" "Anyway, it's not the first time he's been scolded.
In the end, Jin Chu patiently sent Hongying to the extremely luxuriously decorated Guilan Palace in Jin Xiangxiang, and asked his subordinates to clean the house well before saying goodbye and going to change clothes.
Hongying unloaded the package, then took the maid away, and said, "The lord of this county has walked all the way, and he is very tired, so you all go out!" After taking the maid, Hongying locked the door and carefully turned it up in Jin Xiangxiang's room, but there was no clue in the cabinet except for jewelry.
Hong Ying sat on the ground helplessly, looked up at the beam, but saw a black figure on the beam, she frowned, and asked, "Who is on the beam?" β
When the man on the beam heard her voice, he relaxed, jumped down directly, and before she screamed, he unwrapped his mask, and it was Gu Zhongliang, Hongying's uncle.
Hong Ying was stunned: "Why are you here?" β
Gu Zhongliang said softly: "I followed that girl, and I was surprised that she was able to enter and leave the Pingnan Mansion freely." So come in and take a look! β
Hong Ying was slightly surprised and asked, "The security of the Pingnan Royal Mansion is so tight, how did you get in?" β
"This is easy, the Pingnan Mansion needs to transfer a large number of weapons, so I turned into a coolie and blended into the Pingnan Palace, hoping to find some clues. What about you, how did you end up here? Gu Zhongliang said that the cloud was light and light, but Hong Ying had a new understanding of his skills, but one more helper was better than her fighting alone, so Hong Ying said: "I'm also here to find some clues." β
"Be careful!" Gu Zhongliang said with concern: "That girl, it doesn't look like she has completely betrayed you, I have heard her talk with the person who connected with her, it seems that the person is anxious to know who the owner of the Ethereal Pavilion is and what the forces behind it are, and that girl just said that she is still in further investigation, and led the disaster to Jin Xiangxiang, and now Jin Huai is pointing the spearhead of the secret agent at Jin Xiangxiang." β
Hong Ying was even more suspicious, which side of Liu Xiang is this? Why don't you betray her, but her every move seems to have been betraying her.
In this world, the most unpredictable thing is people's hearts! A simple girl like her turns out to have another scheming! It was her Hongying who looked at the wrong person, she always felt that the appearance of Liu Xiang's family from the bursting of the Yellow River seemed to be planned, but it was just inadvertently implicated Ah Niu and the villagers in her hometown!
It's just that what kind of person can direct such an impeccable and traceless conspiracy? Is he friend or foe?
