CHAPTER XXI
Gonggong Li shook the dust in his hand: "Your Majesty, Wei Lian is back!" ”
Wei Lian is the leader of the gang of black-clothed people who chased me and Chu Muxiu that day, they are the peerless masters that Zhang Weizhi found in the people for His Majesty, and they are specially responsible for ambushing halfway through the border and taking the opportunity to assassinate Chu Muxiu.
His Majesty stood up abruptly and held out his hand, "Oh? QuickPass! ”
Wei Lian walked in quickly, with a trace of undried blood on his face, and trembled and knelt on the ground, "See Your Majesty!" ”
"How? Is it clean? His Majesty turned around, and there seemed to be some anticipation on his gloomy face.
Wei Lian still knelt on the ground and didn't dare to get up: "Back to Your Majesty, I took a dozen people to ambush in the middle of the road, and killed them when they were most tired on the road, but King Yi's martial arts are strong, and the guard named Qianche should not be underestimated, we, we missed!" ”
"Smack...... His Majesty casually smashed the Yuhua celadon beside him to the ground, "Waste! ”
Wei Lian hurriedly kept kowtowing, his eyes were full of fear, "Wei Lian is not doing well, please, please give your majesty sin, please give your majesty ......"
His Majesty squatted down and pulled Wei Lian's cuffs: "Guilt? More than a dozen masters haven't had the ability to kill a little King Yi, do you still have the face to ask me to forgive you? ”
Wei Lian was sweating profusely and his mouth trembled, "Although I didn't complete the task this time, I made a major discovery!" ”
His Majesty shook his hand suddenly: "Say! ”
"Wei Lian saw two women beside His Royal Highness King Yi!"
His Majesty frowned: "Woman? Can you see who it is? ”
Wei Lian lowered his head: "They ran too fast, Wei Lian couldn't see the faces of the two women clearly!" ”
His Majesty was very helpless, it seemed hopeless to know something from Wei Lian's mouth, if it weren't for the fact that it was useless to keep Wei Lian, he would have killed him with a sword.
His Majesty waved his sleeves: "Go down!" ”
Wei Lian finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Wei Lian retired!" ”
After Wei Lian left, His Majesty sat on the dragon chair, "Woman? My sixth brother has always been cold and unapproachable, and I don't know which young lady he is interested in, how can there be two more women now? ”
Gonggong Li's eyes turned and he stepped forward, "His Royal Highness King Yi is already suave and nosy, maybe he saved those two women on the way, and they just didn't leave!" ”
"That's right!"
"I can't blatantly kill Chu Muxiu in the imperial court, taking advantage of this good opportunity to go to the border, I deliberately let the large army set off a day late, the purpose is to let Chu Muxiu single-handedly not take care of him, I thought that I could take his life directly, but I didn't expect Wei Lian to be so insufficient!"
Seeing that His Majesty was so unhappy, Gonggong Li said, "Your Majesty, the old slave thinks that this is not only Wei Lian's mistake, as we all know, King Yi's martial arts are strong, not to mention going to the battlefield for three years, how easy is it to take him to the top?" ”
"The Queen Mother...... Be! The Queen Mother walked to the gate of the Heart Cultivation Hall and glanced at the guards, who immediately shut up and bowed their heads.
"But as long as Chu Muxiu lives, my throne will be more coveted, my country will be more threatened, and my days will not be peaceful for a day!"
The Queen Mother walked in, and there were still a few celadon fragments on the ground, "Why is Your Majesty angry?" ”
Gonggong Li brushed the dust: "Participate in the Queen Mother!" ”
The Queen Mother walked past Gonggong Li: "Father-in-law doesn't have to be polite!" ”
"Queen Mother, why don't you rest in the palace?" Seeing the situation, His Majesty quickly put away a vicious look, and then walked down quickly to help the Queen Mother.
"It's too stuffy in the palace, come out for a walk!" His Majesty helped the Queen Mother to sit down.
"By the way, why is His Majesty angry, what happened?" Before the buttocks were warm, the Queen Mother asked Your Majesty.
His Majesty was a little embarrassed, "Erchen, the people sent out by Erchen missed, and Chu Muxiu escaped by luck!" ”
The Queen Mother sat down again, looking disapproving, "I thought it was a big deal!" ”
"But if Chu Muxiu doesn't die for a day, Erchen will ...... in his heart."
The Queen Mother got up and patted His Majesty on the shoulder, and then slowly walked forward: "Your Majesty, don't panic, although he has made a lot of military exploits, and some people want to do it, but he is young after all, and his qualifications are still shallow." Besides, many ministers in the court are used for us, you are Your Majesty, the king of Tianyue above 10,000 people, they are not loyal to Your Majesty, are you willing to listen to the orders of a small prince? Fourteen years ago, Li Kaihe was powerless to fight back about the matter of the emperor and the concubine, and after fourteen years, he Chu Muxiu would not be able to become a climate! ”
"The queen mother said very much, it is the sons who are short-sighted!"
The Queen Mother's eyes showed a terrifying gloom: "We have time in the future, and the future will be long......"
"Boom, Boom......"
Along the way, I didn't know that I had blown dozens of leaves, and my mouth was also painful, but I just wanted to learn to blow leaves, and then be able to blow a complete tune like Chu Muxiu.
After this town, we reached the border, and it happened that we were also a little hungry, so we planned to go in and find a restaurant for a meal, and we might be there after a short drive when we were full.
"Baked cakes, tea eggs, sugar gourds!"
"Fruits and vegetables!"
I love to run in front of the lively, but Chu Muxiu thinks that this place is noisy and leads the horse behind, although this town is small, the street is very lively, and the street is full of food and play, which is simply more than the tricks in Huancheng.
"Sugar gourd!" I hadn't eaten for a few days, and when I heard someone shouting, I rushed over immediately.
"Miss, do you want a bunch of sugar gourds, the hawthorn fruit was picked yesterday with the rain and dew, and the syrup was pasted this morning, but it's fresh!" The eldest brother who sold sugar gourds saw that I had introduced his sugar gourds to me very enthusiastically, and shouted at me to buy them.
I looked at the crystal clear sugar gourd on the straw stick and couldn't help but swallow: "Big brother, how much is your sugar gourd?" ”
"Sanwen!"
"Okay, bring me two strings!" I beckoned my eldest brother to pick up two strings for me while looking for money.
But I rummaged through my pockets and found only two pennies, and I held them tightly in my hand, and I was stunned because the money was not enough.
"Didn't the young lady have any money with her?" The eldest brother who sold sugar gourds asked me in a disgusted tone, as if he was afraid that I would not be able to pay the money.
But...... I really can't afford to give money, I brought some money when I came out, but I gave it to Mo'er, but now that we are separated, the silver is naturally gone.
I whispered in the man's ear, "Big brother, do you know why you only sell three strings of sugar gourds after yelling on the street for a long time?" ”
"Why?" The eldest brother was impatient with some doubts.
I stretched out my other hand and broke my three fingers into two: "Because, the sugar gourd you sell is a little bit expensive, just a little bit!" ”
"After all, you just don't have any money!" As soon as he knew that I had no money, the eldest brother instantly put away his good face, and inserted back the two strings of sugar gourds that he had just taken down.
As soon as I saw the big brother's look of looking down on people, I got angry, "I said big brother, why are you so vulgar, can the money be used as food?" ”
"Although money can't be eaten as food, but now that you have no money, you don't have sugar gourds to eat, since Miss doesn't buy it, then don't bother me to do business!" The eldest brother who sold sugar gourds said leisurely after speaking, and then pushed me with his hand.
"You, you......" I pointed my finger at him, unable to speak with a puff of breath in my heart.
"How many strings of sugar gourds can I buy with this?" Chu Muxiu took out an ingot of ten taels of silver and put it in front of me and the eldest brother who sold sugar gourds.
"This, this one bought me a whole straw stick!" Seeing that Chu Muxiu had money in his hand, the eldest brother gave him a smile again, and his eyes were glowing when he looked at the money.
Chu Muxiu stretched out his hand again and sent it to the big brother's eyes, "The silver is for you, I want all these sugar gourds!" ”
"Okay, good, all for you, all for you!" This eldest brother is really a guy who sees money, so he immediately accepted the money and then stuffed the whole straw sugar gourd into Chu Muxiu's hand.
The eldest brother held the silver in his hand and walked away happily, muttering that he had made a fortune as he walked.
"It's all for you!" Chu Muxiu threw me a whole straw stick of sugar gourd, and I almost fell without catching it.
I was momentarily stunned for a moment holding the sugar gourd: "Generous, generous!" ”
I regretted it all of a sudden, I can't spend this money indiscriminately, so much so that I had to bite a string of sugar gourds in my mouth, and I had to drag a whole straw stick of sugar gourd in my hand, with about twenty or thirty strings inserted on it, which made my back ache. In fact, the sugar gourd itself is not heavy, but the straw stick is heavy. Chu Muxiu is walking fast again, I have to fight hard to catch up with him.
"Come, you have a string, he has a string, this string is for you!" I saw a few beggars squatting there begging for food in the street, so I put a string in each person's bowl.
"Eldest sister, do you eat sugar gourds, you're welcome to take it, I can't eat it all!"
"Little brother, you look so cute, give it to you!"
"Big sister is not only good-looking, but also good-hearted!" The little brother squinted and smiled at me.
"You're really good at talking, I'll give you another string!" What he said made my heart rejoice, and I simply plucked another string for him.
The sugar gourd was almost finished, so I simply threw away the straw stick, and I was at ease. I ate one bunch myself, and left two more bunches, one bunch for Chu Muxiu, and one bunch for me to eat on the way.
"Have you finished dividing the sugar gourd?" Although I was walking behind, Chu Muxiu also looked back at me from time to time, and he saw that I was no longer dragging the straw stick in my hand.
I hid the remaining two strings of sugar gourds behind me: "It's over!"
"......" Chu Muxiu didn't speak, probably because he thought I was too loser, and a few strings of sugar gourds cost him ten taels of silver.
I squinted my eyes and pulled out the sugar gourd hidden behind me, "Oooo ”
Chu Muxiu only glanced at it: "I don't like to eat!" ”
"Why?"
"I don't have a sweet tooth!"
I didn't believe it, I obviously saw him eating pine cake at the border, so he muttered, "My father said that people are already hard enough in this life, God doesn't let us live easily, we can only have fun by ourselves, if we are always wronged by ourselves, then this person is too stupid, this life is really unbearable!" When I was a child, I didn't understand what Daddy meant by these words, but now the more I grow up, the more I understand the truth.
"Is the sugar gourd delicious?" Chu Muxiu saw that the old lady who had lost her teeth was eating so deliciously, so she asked me wryly.
"It's delicious, it's crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, if you say that Songhua cake ranks first in my heart, then the second is sugar gourd! "Chu Muxiu asked me like this, it means that he wants to eat it in his heart, because the last time he ate Songhua cake in Huancheng, he asked me like this, so I tried my best to hold the sugar gourd to the sky.
He held out his hand: "That...... You give me a string! ”
Chu Mu is also the king of Yi under the dignified Tianyue alone, but now he is like a wronged little daughter-in-law who asks me for sugar gourds. The pitiful look of him squirming and wanting to eat but not wanting to move his mouth, I think I will probably remember it for the rest of my life.
I leaned my face in, "Is it delicious?" ”
He took a few bites: "Crispy on the outside and sweet on the inside." ”
"What else?"
"It's gone!"
I glanced at him: "You shouldn't be called Chu Muxiu!" ”
"What's that called?"
"Chu Mutou!"
