Chapter 12: The Rebellion of the Heavens
Early this morning, when Jiang Ziyu hadn't gotten up, Nan Huaifeng arrived at Qingyu Pavilion, and the genius at this time was bright, Xingyu was keeping vigil in the outer hall, and she slept heavily and didn't notice that someone had come in.
However, Jiang Ziyu opened her eyes the moment Nan Huaifeng pushed the door, she looked vigilantly in the direction of the outer hall, Nan Huaifeng raised her eyebrows when she saw this: "It's rare to see you get up late." ”
Jiang Ziyu glanced at the not very bright sky outside, and said sullenly, "What time is this?" ”
"If you want to go to worship the heavens, you need to get up early because you have a lot of business." Nan Huaifeng sat on the soft couch and looked at her, Jiang Ziyu lifted the quilt and stepped on his shoes to get off the ground wearing only his middle coat, and reached out from the hanger to take the long clothes he usually wears.
"Don't wear this today, the sacrifice is a big event, wear formal clothes." Nan Huaifeng whispered, and Jiang Ziyu paused, a little reluctant.
Nan Huaifeng looked at her very reluctant appearance and comforted: "It's only two days, it's hard work." ”
Jiang Ziyu helplessly shouted Xingyu, asked her to take out the formal clothes she had collected before, took advantage of this time to go to the side hall to wash up, and sat down to let Xingyu tie her hair in a bun and wear a heavy Zhu Hai Huadian.
Nan Huaifeng took a closer look, and sighed in his heart that this kind of clothes was quite suitable for Jiang Ziyu's aura, but it was not very suitable for her appearance. For her appearance, this formal dress is too formal and old-fashioned.
"Lord Qiqi, Miss Suli said that she was unwell." Chenxing whispered a sentence outside, and Nan Huaifeng lowered his eyes and said, "Then let her go and ask the imperial doctor to come to the house." ”
Morning Star answered, and Nan Huaifeng and Jiang Ziyu had already packed up and were ready to leave. The carriage outside the palace has been prepared, accompanied by Liuying and Xingyu.
Although it was early in the morning, the street had already been overcast, and it was bustling and lively.
"Why are there so many people?" Jiang Ziyu asked casually, and Nan Huaifeng looked out of the window: "This sacrifice is different from the past, the people attach great importance to this day's sacrifice, and over the years, the people are also allowed to follow the emperor to sacrifice together, so there will be more talents." They are all going to Huangzhuang, and it is safer to follow the Praetorian Guard. ”
Outside the window, Chenxing handed over a pack of dim sum that he had just bought at the restaurant, and Nan Huaifeng reached out to take it and gave it to Jiang Ziyu.
"I didn't let you eat some breakfast in a hurry, and I still have some food to cushion my stomach on the way."
Jiang Ziyu took the dim sum and ate it unceremoniously, and as if he thought of something, he asked again: "Huangzhuang also allows the people to live?" ”
"Of course not, it's just that there are many farmers near Huangzhuang, and in previous years, the people who had to sacrifice together for the two days would live in the farmers' houses, patrolled and protected by the Praetorian Guard."
Nan Huaifeng also temporarily transferred his private soldiers today, perhaps because he got married this year, and there were a lot more people with him than in the previous two years. It's not that the people want to see the princess's dignity, but when the founding emperor sacrificed for blessings, he took the emperor and queen with him. It is also a rule that the emperor and queen must go with him without special reasons, which shows more sincerity.
After the accompanying generals put the order in order, the mighty men and horses began to walk out of the city.
"What kind of man do you think my father is?" Jiang Ziyu suddenly opened her mouth to ask such a question, she was not on a whim, but when she looked at the scenery outside the window, she saw Jiang Yibai's figure hurrying by, so she remembered what Jiang Yibai told her when she returned to the door that day.
Nan Huaifeng was a little puzzled, but he also responded to her words: "Prime Minister Jiang Cheng was brought up by my brother with one hand, so he is naturally a loyal minister. ”
Jiang Ziyu didn't say anything more, Nan Huaifeng was delicate and accurate in looking at people, since he said that he was a loyal minister, he wouldn't be wrong to think about it. What did Jiang Yibai refer to that day?
"Have you suppressed the Jiang family?" Jiang Ziyu turned his head, his expression indifferent and a hint of doubt. Nan Huaifeng chuckled lightly and said, "One of the Jiang family is the prime minister, and the other is in the military camp, what can I suppress?" ”
Jiang Ziyu thought about it, Nan Huaifeng didn't need to get along with a loyal prime minister. She thought about it and couldn't think of the meaning of Jiang Yibai's words that day, so she simply waved her hand - she didn't want to.
On the contrary, Nan Huaifeng looked at her very tangled appearance, became a little serious, sat up straight and asked, "Why do you care so much about the Jiang family today?" ”
"Just ask." Jiang Ziyu was faintly perfunctory, Nan Huaifeng held his chin and stared at Jiang Ziyu carefully, this girl is very good-looking, but the momentum around her body is more attractive than her appearance.
The carriage swayed for a long time, and the sound of Xingyu and Liuying chattering beside him, Jiang Ziyu didn't even feel noisy.
Soon the carriage left the city, and Jiang Ziyu couldn't sit still while drinking tea.
"What's wrong?" Nan Huaifeng saw that she was uncomfortable, so he asked. It's rare that when she can't calm down, he is also curious.
Jiang Ziyu stretched out his hand and slapped his waist, frowned and responded, "It's too upset." ”
"This place is a short section of the mountain road, and it will pass quickly." Nan Huaifeng handed over the soft pillow behind him, and at this time, there was a sudden riot in the crowd outside.
The carriage also stopped, and Morning Star whispered by the window, "Lord Wang, there are assassins. ”
Nan Huaifeng immediately got out of the carriage with a heavy face, commanding the soldiers to protect the people. There were a lot of black-clothed people ambushed on both sides of the road, Jiang Ziyu didn't want to take care of it, after all, there were so many forbidden troops and Nan Huaifeng's private soldiers, it shouldn't be difficult to deal with these assassins.
"My child! Someone save my baby! A woman cried out hoarsely, and Jiang Ziyu looked around to find a crowd in a panic and a child being pushed to the ground, and then kicked aside by the fleeing people.
The boy kept running along the slope, and the woman ran as hard as she could, but the people fled in all directions, and she couldn't squeeze through it.
"Oh no, there's a cliff over there." Liuying frowned and glanced at Jiang Ziyu, he was ordered to protect the princess.
Jiang Ziyu's heart moved, and she saw her woman's desperate look on her face, she flipped out of the carriage, and her figure moved back and forth in the gap in the crowd.
Fortunately, this petite body, coupled with her extraordinary speed, was able to pass through the crowd smoothly for a while.
"Nope! My baby! The woman pulled her throat helplessly, and could only watch her child roll off the cliff.
Just when she was disheartened, Jiang Ziyu jumped out and jumped down.
"Princess!" Xingyu and Liuying hurriedly rushed out, Nan Huaifeng turned his head when he heard this shout, and said in a low voice: "Morning Star, you are in command." ”
At this moment, the situation was almost under control, and there were no more Assassins than there were any accompanying soldiers, and soon all the Assassins were killed and captured.
The child's mother, Xingyu Liuying and Nan Huaifeng hurried to the edge of the cliff, only to hear the child's cry below.
"Jiang Ziyu!" Nan Huaifeng shouted loudly, but for some reason he was a little angry and anxious in his heart.
"Alive." After a while, Jiang Ziyu's cold answer came from under the cliff, and Nan Huaifeng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and said, "Don't move, I'll let people find a rope." ”
Jiang Ziyu hugged the child with a disgraced face, raised his head and shouted: "No, just use the inside to punch a strong weapon into the cliff, I can go up." ”
Hearing this, Nan Huaifeng reached out and borrowed a spear from Morning Star, and then poured it into the hard cliff with a full amount of inside. Jiang Ziyu stretched out his hand and wrapped the heavenly silk with his mind, and then suddenly took off into the air with his strength.
After a few waves of borrowing, Jiang Ziyu turned over the cliff steadily, handed the child to his mother, wiped his face and said, "It's uneven down there, and I am holding on to a protruding rock." ”
Nan Huaifeng saw that her hands were bloody, and he was a little distressed: "In the past, you were the most cold-hearted, but today you are kind-hearted?" ”
Jiang Ziyu glanced at the woman who was crying with joy, lowered his head and hooked the corners of his mouth with an inconspicuous arc: "The general who follows the settled family and the country must not be too hard-hearted." ”
Nan Huaifeng's heart moved when she heard this, but she didn't know that these words were just an excuse made by Jiang Ziyu casually-she couldn't say that she remembered the desperate eyes of her father in her previous life, right?
"Thank you, Princess, thank you, Princess." After the woman comforted the child, she came over and knelt down and kowtowed, Xingyu was too busy to help her up, Jiang Ziyu put one hand behind her back and hid her hand that was already trembling, looking at the woman's appearance of worshipping her as the savior, she was a little moved, and said: "In the future, the child must be watched, especially in a crowded place." ”
"Yes, the princess is very gracious......"
"I'm afraid the child is scared, go to the accompanying imperial doctor and ask for some soothing medicine." Jiang Ziyu's tone was light, but he still couldn't extinguish the gratitude in the woman's heart.
Nan Huaifeng pulled her to the direction of the carriage, and there was still some blame in his tone: "If you don't catch the rock, won't you die in vain?" ”
Jiang Ziyu was slightly silent for a while, and her expression was a little melancholy: "I'll catch it." "Her desire to survive will make her desperate to survive.
"Morningstar, go get a water bladder." Nan Huaifeng commanded in a low voice, but for some reason when he saw Jiang Ziyu's eyes, there was a strange desire to protect in his heart.
Chenxing hurriedly brought the water, Nan Huaifeng got into the carriage and took a box of medicine to stop bleeding and dispel blood stasis from the dark grid, and dragged Jiang Ziyu's hand to give her medicine slowly.
"I'll do it myself." Jiang Ziyu was a little uncomfortable with such intimate contact, and subconsciously wanted to retract his hand. Nan Huaifeng raised his eyes and glanced at her, but he didn't say anything, but Jiang Ziyu couldn't pull out his hand, but he didn't see how hard Nan Huaifeng worked.
Nan Huaifeng silently refuted her request, carefully gave her good medicine, and then bandaged her with the muslin cloth taken by Morning Star, and then said, "You go to the carriage and rest, I'll take care of the aftermath." ”
"Hmm." Jiang Ziyu hurriedly got into the carriage, she only felt that her face was burning badly, and she was afraid that it would be red and ripe and rotten peaches.
Nan Huaifeng ordered to rest on the spot, let some of the soldiers send the captured assassins to Dali Temple, and let the soldiers count the wounded and let the imperial doctor examine and treat them in an orderly manner according to the degree of injury.
Jiang Ziyu listened to Nan Huaifeng's methodical command, and his heart also changed slightly about him, the person who can regent for three years and let the people have no complaints has real ability.
