Chapter 357: Reunion After a Long Absence (17)
Isa noticed that his hands were slightly rough with his sleeves exposed.
His hands looked like the age of a sixtieth year, but his voice ......... It sounds relatively young, not at all like an old man who has gone through vicissitudes.
It's no wonder that his age has always been a mystery in people's minds, and if he didn't know that he was Meng Teng's real father, Isa would also be confused about his age.
Since that day after the blood confession, Meng Teng still did not recognize him, he was arranged by the Queen Mother to live in the harem, I heard that the dormitory is very close to the Queen Mother's Citrus Water Palace.
In the past few days, Yisha has heard a little about the rumors in the palace, and she doesn't want to take care of the private affairs of the older generation, she only cares about Meng Teng's feelings.
In any case, Master Wuzhu is always Meng Teng's father, even if he is wrong, he should not be sentenced to death directly, he should be given a chance to make up for his mistakes, and Meng Teng has never lacked family care, and now his father and mother are still alive, they should do their filial piety while they are still alive, so as not to regret it one day in the future.
Yisha wants to do her best to help them resolve the conflict, and as for how to resolve it, she wants to start with the Wuzhu mage first.
"Is the tea not to the Queen's taste? Why don't you change the pot for you again? Seeing that Yisha was holding the teacup and didn't move for a long time, Wu Zhu asked politely.
"No, the tea is very fragrant, I like it very much." Yisha came back to her senses, took a sip of the teacup in her hand, "The mage doesn't need to call me the queen one by one, you are an elder and a .......... of Meng Teng."
"Haha." Master Wuzhu laughed twice, nodded and said, "Okay, the poor monk also feels very awkward, you don't have to call the poor monk Master, just call me Uncle Wuzhu." ”
"Okay, Uncle Wuzhu."
It sounds a strange and slightly awkward title.
However, Issa's attention was not on the title, and after a short conversation, she felt that Master Wuzhu was a very talkative person and had a very easy-going personality, and if she offered to help them reconcile father and son, he should readily agree, right?
"The poor monk heard that an assassin sneaked into Qinshui Courtyard at noon with the intention of assassinating the queen, are you not injured?"
Hearing him suddenly mention the assassination at noon, Yisha was stunned, "Thank you Uncle Wuzhu for your concern, that arrow did almost hit me, fortunately my friend pushed me away, but she was injured because of me, I'm afraid she will have to recuperate for a while." ”
"Your friend? Can you easily reveal who you are? ”
Considering that Master Wuzhu was Meng Teng's father, and that they would be considered a family in the future, Yisha told him the truth: "The person who blocked an arrow for me is the princess of Persia. ”
"Princess Persia?" Master Wuzhu was obviously a little surprised when he drank tea.
Everyone knows that Loulan and Persia are at loggerheads, and the Persian princess inexplicably appeared in Yisha's Qinshui Courtyard, wasn't she caught by the king of Loulan to threaten Persia?
It is no wonder that the king of Persia has written two letters, the first one said that he asked him to help find the missing concubine, and sent him another one not long after, and the second letter only said that there were 100,000 urgent and urgent matters, and asked him to go to Persia for an interview as soon as possible. Flash Dance.
It turns out that the important matter in the letter of the king of Persia refers to the disappearance of the Persian princess, in the past, of course, he had to help his old friends in trouble, but now that his identity has changed, he no longer stands on the sidelines and has a neutral attitude, this favor, I'm afraid he can't help!
Master Wuzhu remained suspicious and pretended to be careless and asked, "Why did the Persian princess appear in the Loulan Palace?" ”
"Luo Zhu said that the king of Persia wanted to marry her to General Banrui, but she did not agree, and took advantage of the lax garrison of the guards to flee the palace with her maids." Isa made a long story short and concealed part of it.
It's not that she's on guard, but now is not the time to publicize it, and now the relationship between the two countries is tense, if it spreads that the Persian princess is in their Loulan palace, won't the countries use this to stir up trouble, saying that they Loulan threaten Persia with despicable means?
Hearing that she intended to conceal some things, Master Wuzhu did not continue to get to the bottom of the matter, and turned his attention to the king of Persia: "The king of Persia has lost many beloved generals, and now there is no one to rely on in the court except for the Ban Rui family, the king of Persia wants to use the marriage of his beloved daughter Princess Persia to win over the Ban Rui family, first, he wants them to work hard for him, and second, to avoid external worries and internal troubles, his decision is also a last resort!" ”
If the Banrui family rebelled at this juncture, it would be even worse for Persia!
Fortunately, it just so happens that Ban Rui is obsessed with the Persian princess, and sacrificing a princess to stabilize the country is a good way.
"Then Luo Zhu's escape from marriage, won't it cause great consequences?"
The decision of the king of Persia really hurt Luo Zhu's heart, but on the other hand, he was also forced to be helpless and had to endure the pain of parting his love.
Yisha didn't agree with his approach, but after all, he was Luo Zhu's father, and if he fell into a dilemma, it was definitely not what Luo Zhu was willing to see.
"The matter......... I'm afraid it's a bit of a hassle! Master Wuzhu sighed.
Consequence?
The consequences are certainly immeasurable!
The marriage was announced by the king of Persia himself, and if he could not fulfill his promise, he would be afraid of ......... It caused Ban Rui to be unhappy.
The consequences of unhappiness can range from refusing to go to war to ......... Rebelled, and traitors took the opportunity to take power!
"The king of Persia has ruled Persia for decades, even if there is no love in his name to fight for him, his throne is not so easy to shake, the forces in his hands are not to be reckoned with, even if the Banrui family has the intention of usurping the throne, they have to consider the Praetorian Guard of the palace."
The Praetorian Guard is the last trump card of the Persian king, with their sworn allegiance, the Ban Rui family does not dare to kill the king and usurp the throne, but if they refuse to go on the battlefield to kill the enemy, the consequences are also not negligible.
The troubles of Persia could not be managed by the veil, and she had to wait for the king of Persia to deal with it himself, and she wanted to solve her worries.
The relationship between Meng Teng and Master Wu Zhu was very tense, and he did not get any better in the past few days, Yi Sha had thought about persuading Meng Teng, and every time he opened his mouth, his face quickly sank, obviously unwilling to mention the father he did not want to admit.
Unable to dissolve the stubborn stone, Isa had no choice but to turn her attention to Master Wuzhu, hoping that he would take the initiative to show goodwill, maybe the two of them would release their previous suspicions?
But if you want the elders to bow to the juniors, I don't know if he is willing? What if he doesn't?
Yisha had a headache when she thought about it, so she guessed and guessed, so she might as well ask him directly: "Uncle Wuzhu, have you traveled around the world all these years?" ”
Before you speak, start with a topic.
"Yes, since the poor monk left Persia, he has been traveling around the countries of the Western Regions for decades, and where the poor monk is needed, the poor monk will go."
"Why did Uncle Wuzhu want to leave Persia in the first place?"
It stands to reason that people are accustomed to living in their own country and don't really want to go to a strange country that they don't know at all, and Master Wuzhu inexplicably left the place where he grew up, and Isa guessed that he might be for some reason.!
