Chapter 157: It's hard to disobey
Rong Chuan was still the same as before, he was wearing a purple fox light coat given by the emperor, and stood in front of Xiao Huaijin with a holy decree.
But Xiao Huaijin didn't look at him as much as before.
Most of the people in the imperial city expected that Xiao Huaijin would not do anything with Rongchuan, so they sent him to stand alone in front of the east gate of Yucheng, Xiao Huaijin looked at him and said, "Let him come in alone, no one is allowed to bring him." ”
"Yes."
Rong Chuan was brought into the city by a few other people, guarding them step by step like prisoners, until Xiao Huaijin waved his hand and told everyone to go down: "I'm scared, that's why I will be all soldiers." ”
Sitting at the table, the two of them also had their own thoughts, and Rong Chuan replied with a smile: "It seems that you are not doing well here." ”
"At least dare to gasp for breath, it's much easier than the Imperial City."
"You've taken two cities in a row so quickly, what's next?"
Xiao Huaijin looked at Rong Chuan and suddenly smiled: "Are you here to spy on the enemy for the little emperor?" ”
Rong Chuan's expression froze, as if he didn't expect that a casual sentence would make the other party suspicious, and in the end he could only laugh together, and then drank the wine in the cup: "I didn't expect you and me to become so cautious." ”
"Between you and me, we shouldn't have said that."
Seeing Xiao Huaijin's cold appearance, Rong Chuan had to be cautious: "Being in the imperial city, most of them can't help themselves, even if Jing Jue and I don't want to, we can't bear to say 'the emperor's order is difficult to do'." ”
"Yes, the emperor's order is hard to disobey. You didn't come just to have a drink with me in Yucheng? ”
"The saint called me to persuade me to surrender, as long as you restrain yourself from the precipice, you will still be the king of Pingnan."
"What if you don't descend?"
“……”
"If I don't surrender, what will he do with you and Jing Jue?"
Rong Chuan sighed lightly and shook his head: "Earlier, I reunited the eight characters of you and Wanxiang, and also divined a hexagram for you. ”
"How?"
Rong Chuan spit out two words lightly: "Big murderer." ”
As he spoke, someone pushed open the door and brought in a brazier, and the scarlet coals in it rattled. Xiao Huaijin smiled: "No matter how fierce I am, I've come so far." Isn't it half dangerous if I go back to the imperial city with you?
I'm afraid that when I step into the city gate with my front foot, my head will fall to the ground with my back foot. ”
Xiao Huaijin picked up the flask and poured wine for him: "You and my brother shouldn't be so tense, since I was five years old, how I got to where I am now, you and Jing Jue should know very well." ”
"I know." Rong Chuan nodded: "I don't want to mention the others, but I must take Bai Xiuzi's corpse away." The meaning of the saint is to give an explanation to the Bai family. ”
"Then have you calculated, if you take Bai Xiuzi back unharmed, will the little emperor be suspicious of you?"
"What conditions do you have?"
"In the little emperor's heart, the Bai family is so important, then I want to ask, is Bai Xiuzi's corpse worth a city?"
"On the day of the departure, the Empress Dowager was seriously ill, and Jing Jue was summoned to the palace to serve the sick."
Hearing the news that Jing Jue was brought into the palace, Xiao Huaijin's expression froze at first, and then sneered: "The Empress Dowager is so sick every time, it seems that the two ancestors and grandchildren will not have other tricks." ”
"This Baining, I just don't do it. But I should always bring it back. In my heart, the lives of my wife and children are worth a city. But the Holy One may not think so. ”
The little emperor took Xiao Jingyu as a hostage, which made Xiao Huaijin, who originally planned to use Bai Xiuzi's corpse to talk about the conditions, unable to say anything: "It's his aunt anyway." ”
"So what? You're his uncle too. ”
"The body is buried in the back mountain, and I want to take you to dig it yourself. I didn't want to implicate you, but seeing that you are not happy in the imperial city, if you feel depressed, you can come to Yucheng. ”
"This time, I took Jing Jue away from the Imperial City. Also, the saint has sealed the Pingnan Palace, and all the maids and maids in it have been dismissed. The housekeeper took this out for you and sent it to the Hou Mansion. ”
Saying that, Rong Chuan took out a pair of jade pillows from the box on the side: "This should be Concubine Jing's thing." ”
Xiao Huaijin reached out and touched the jade pillow, took out the pillow core and saw that the handkerchief was still inside, Xiao Huaijin's expression was lukewarm, and it seemed that this thing was not very important.
"I heard that Jing Jue gave birth to a daughter, cute and tight."
Rong Chuan smiled dryly: "Well, this kid is not as noisy as Jing Jue, except for being hungry, he almost doesn't want to cry but he doesn't laugh much, and his personality is very similar to that of his sixth sister-in-law." ”
"Children, I don't see any personality yet. I was supposed to have a child, but when Akika went to the Imperial City, the child was gone. ”
"That time I ......"
"It's okay with you, it's me who didn't take good care of her. Originally, we named the child Changning, but she began to be restless in her mother's womb. I hope that this peace can be brought to Jing Jue. ”
The two wine cups touched, and the cloudy wine dripped on the side of the desk.
Xiao Huaijin asked someone to send Bai Xiuzi's coffin out of the city, and he didn't mention any conditions.
Before sending Rongchuan out of the city, he also handed over the children's clothes sorted out by Wanxiang to Rongchuan: "They are all brocade quilts and clothes embroidered by Wanxiang Zhaoxiuniang, you can take them back together." ”
"Okay."
"After going back, quickly move out of the imperial city. By the way, bring a word to King Xiang. ”
"What?"
"Before the first month, I will capture Lingdu City. In February, the earth rejuvenated, and I was waiting for him in Lingdu. Let's just say that the opportunity to allow him to earn fame in the DPRK has arrived. ”
It sounds like Xiao Huaijin seems to be confident in taking Ling Du, and will wait for Xiao Huaiyue to give up Ling Du City to him.
Although Rong Chuan was puzzled, he still took Bai Xiuzi's coffin back to the imperial city first.
Neither of them thought that this would be the last time they would see each other.
……
In the middle of winter, ten thousand trees withered, and the cold north wind stirred the entire Yucheng. Under the distant sky, everywhere is covered with pure white snow.
Xiao Huaijin personally led his troops into Lingdu City, and Wanxiang followed Xiao Huaijin.
wins, then accompany him to open the sea and drink to reward the three armies; defeated, he accompanied him to collect troops and return to the city to recuperate.
He said: "This trip, either take Lingdu or bury Lingdu!" ”
The soldiers behind him were imposing, and in front of his tiger and wolf soldiers, Ling Du looked weak.
Presumably, neither Rong Chuan nor Xiao Huaiyue told anyone about Xiao Huaijin's plans, and Xiao Huaijin took Lingdu City in one go.
Along the way, Xiao Huaijin waved his troops to the south, and whoever blocked and killed whom, the gods and Buddhas were no exception. Far away in the Imperial City, it seemed that the ground trembled three times.
Obviously, only a few months have passed, and the form has changed suddenly, and the world can no longer be dominated by the little emperor alone. The court was in turmoil, the royal family was in turmoil, the original danger began to be revealed, and several major clans began to be unable to hold back.
And the wise people choose to hide at this moment.
Seeing that the year was over, Xiao Huaijin made arrangements and returned to Yucheng with the incense. On the way, Wanxiang only wanted to go, and Gazan was still at Eagle's Beak Peak.
Thinking of Gazan, Wanxiang poured a cup of tea and handed it to Xiao Huaijin. The cup noodles are steaming hot, and you can drink it in one gulp and warm it from your mouth to your belly.
"Before she died, she said that Tongyue was not poisoned by her. There is no one else on the mountain, it should be Gazan. ”
"If you don't mention it, I'll forget about Gazan." Xiao Huaijin turned his eyes to look at Wanxiang: "You haven't doubted Fuyu?" As soon as he went up the mountain, Kiritsu died violently. As for Gazan, she doesn't seem to have much access to your medicine chest. ”
"It's not that I haven't thought about Fuyu, but Aunt Hong has investigated his details, and there is really nothing suspicious. On the contrary, it was Gazan, the situation of the prince at that time was not optimistic, and most of them depended on Xu Yuanwai's family background and connections.
If Wang Ye and Xu Yuan turn their faces, then who else can they rely on? ”
Wanxiang tilted her head and looked at Xiao Huaijin with a smile, Xiao Huaijin didn't want to blurt out a sentence: "Beisai, Su clan." ”
"Yes, then Atu can negotiate terms with the prince. Divide the territory with the same territory, and march into the Central Plains under the banner of the prince. The sins belong to the king, but the gains are his.
At that time, it will not be so easy for the prince to get rid of him. ”
Xiao Huaijin lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then raised his head and said to Wanxiang: "Asking someone to send her back to Beisai can be regarded as completely repaying Atu's kindness." ”
"What if she refuses?"
"Numbing people isn't what you're good at?"
After getting Xiao Huaijin's promise, Wanxiang no longer showed mercy to her, and said that Fu Yu asked: "This time it's only you, take the three dead soldiers and two followers, are you afraid?" ”
"I'm not afraid."
"Okay, you go back to Eagle's Beak Peak and take Gazan, and send her to the northern suburbs of Fengyang City through Fengyang. If she is disobedient, she doesn't have to be polite to her, she is stunned and tied up and sent away. Remember? ”
Fu Yu nodded seriously: "Okay, Fu Yu must live up to her sister's mission." ”
Wanxiang handed over her token and medicine to Fu Yu: "You are one of the few people that my sister can trust, you must send Gazan to the outside of the gate and come back safe and sound." ”
"Yes!"
But Wanxiang forgot in the end, Fuyu is just a child, and this time he has not returned it for a month.
