Chapter 15: Princess Singh
In the evening, the long day finally came to an end, and the fiery red glow filled the sky, brilliant as a tapestry, and then the afterglow dissipated into the night, but the waves did not stop because of the night. Two more ten, Lin Chengde sent to Shaolin to get the antidote pill has returned, Lin Qingji and Rongyue after taking Lin Qingzhi also washed and slept, such a big change happened for a day in a row, it was really physically and mentally tired, and he fell asleep soon after dipping his head on the pillow, Xiao Mufeng assisted Dali Temple to investigate It was already time, and when he came to Lin Mansion to see Lin Qingzhi sleeping very sweetly, he did not disturb Nanxuan.
When Lin Qingzhi woke up slowly, it was already dark outside, and when Lin Qingzhi walked into the side room, Rongyue, who was taking the antidote pill, had also woken up, her face was still a little pale, and she struggled to sit up when she saw Lin Qingzhi enter the door, and she was also shocked to hear the news that Lin Qingji was also injured and poisoned. Lin Qingzhi knew that Rongyue would save her at the expense of her own name, and she was moved in her heart, seeing Rongyue's bright eyes, she couldn't help but feel astringent, and secretly swore in her heart that she would never let Rongyue have anything to do in this life, because she couldn't eat in person because she injured her right arm, Lin Qingzhi fed Rongyue breakfast and told her to rest well, so she got up and walked to Nanxuan, seeing that Lin Qingji was still in a coma, her eyes were a little sad.
A new day has begun, Luoyang City, which was short of silence in the dark night, has started a noisy and lively day, spring is in full bloom, the weather has changed from gloomy to become gradually warmer, the green grass outside the city, the pink petals of peach and plum are competing to bloom, and people have taken off their winter clothes and changed into thin shirts, which is more full of elegance.
On March 26, the 16th year of Yongping, a mighty procession of chariots and horses came slowly from the south direction outside Luoyang City, bringing up dust on the roadside. There were almost thirty people in the whole team, and the man walking in front of him on a red and brown horse was slender and straight, with a plump face, and a shallow smile on his face. Beside him, a thin, white-dressed, handsome-looking young man sat on a pure white horse, holding a saddle in both hands, but his expression was not very natural. A Zhugai carriage in the middle of the team came slowly, but unfortunately there was no one in the carriage, the team passed through the Zhengyang Gate, handed over the paperwork and the doorman let him go, and the group went to the direction of the city post station.
Since the fall of the Tang Dynasty, the once unified situation was broken, the vassal kings were divided into separate situations, the heroes were numerous, the wars were raging, the strong could stand for decades, the weak could only be annexed and swallowed up, and finally the four kingdoms remained, the state of Wu was ruled by the southeast, the state of Chu occupied the southwest, the state of Jin stood in the middle, the northernmost Khitan is a nomadic people, brave and good at fighting, so the national strength has been suppressing the state of Jin, although there has been a gap between the countries but there is not much difference, but in recent years, the new monarch of Wu has succeeded to the throne in the prime of life, and knows how to make good use of people, In recent years, the national strength has also been greatly enhanced compared with before, and there is a faint tendency to suppress the Jin Kingdom.
Wu State increased troops on the border of Wu and Chu and chose this time to envoy to the Jin State, the intention is self-evident, if the Jin State allows Wu State to capture Chu State, then I am afraid that the next person to suffer is only himself, and the truth of the cold lips and teeth is not incomprehensible. After all, the long-term war has led to the withering of the people's livelihood, the extreme shortage of young and middle-aged labor, and the people are miserable under the heavy taxes, and there is even a situation of abandoned land in many places, if the aid to the Chu State, the grain and grass problem must be solved first, but the people want to collect grain under the heavy burden, I am afraid that it will intensify the contradiction and cause greater panic, if the Chu State is not aided, then the Chu State will face the two-sided attack of the Wu State and the Khitan in case it is destroyed, Emperor Jin, who was already suffering from head wind, was disturbed and had a splitting headache.
Hearing his father mention that King Ling, the emperor's brother of the State of Wu, and Princess Singh entered Beijing today, Lin Qingzhi's thoughts that had been unclear seemed to flash a flash of light in an instant, the State of Chu, the State of Wu, the Zoroastrians, and the drunken red face were all intertwined, and his previous intuition hinted that everything might not be as simple as it seemed, since a prince and princess of the State of Wu came to Luoyang, it would be a pity not to go for a while, so he washed and groomed early in the morning, and Lin Qingzhi wore a goose yellow elegant shirt today, After applying yellowed facial grease to cover her beautiful face, she took her maidservant Ziling and drove slowly in the direction of the city post station in a carriage.
The two found a tea shop opposite the post station, found a seat near the window and sat down, and called Xiao Er to serve a pot of tea and sit quietly.
Since Wu Guo wants to be close to the Jin Kingdom, there is another princess among the envoys, naturally this princess should be arranged by the Wu State to make peace, and the relatives are respectful, and the prince will naturally be arranged to marry the princess of the Wu Kingdom, the prince since last year and Lin Chengde failed to get married, he married the daughter of the right prime minister as the main concubine, the fourth prince is not yet an adult, and the rest are only the second prince Xiao Mufeng and the third yellow son Xiao Mulin, the general princess is unwilling to marry other countries on the grounds of harmony, and this Singh princess can take the initiative to come to the Jin country and kiss, naturally not an ordinary woman, Lin Qingzhi is more interested in seeing this different Princess Singh.
It wasn't until Wu Guo's convoy came from the corner of the street that Lin Qingzhi's light and breezy autumn water eyes crossed a trace of waves, and the two people led by graceful and handsome were naturally the most important people.
Lin Qingzhi glanced at Ziling, then left five taels of silver on the table and got up and walked out of the teahouse, called Ah Er at the corner of the street, a figure floated in front of him, Lin Qingzhi explained a few words to Ziling and Ah Er, and saw Ah Er put on a mask and took a bag of crimson pink embroidered money bags in Lin Qingzhi's hand and got up and ran in the direction of the young man in white, only to hear Ziling shout loudly: "Catch the thief, help catch the thief." With that, he ran in the direction of Ah Er.
The pedestrians on both sides heard the sound and stopped to watch, and sure enough, they saw the young man in white flying in the direction of Ah Er's running, Ah Er was already superior in martial arts, and naturally ordinary people couldn't catch up with him when he ran, but he saw the young man in white tapping the green tiles along the street on both sides of the street, and he followed Ah Er, which showed that the light work was extraordinary, and when he was about a foot away from Ah Er, he saw the palm of his hand quickly moving towards Ah Er's vest.
At this moment, the people on the street quickly flashed out of an open space, gathered a foot away and stopped to watch, and some good people were cheering, the two of them had been fighting for forty rounds with their bare hands, and they were still up and down, only to see Ah Er distracted, a cold wind hit the left chest, and after standing unsteadily and taking a few steps back, he threw the money bag and flew onto the roof and escaped.
The young man in white did not chase, bent down and picked up the scarlet pink embroidered money bag, at this time Lin Qingzhi and Ziling had already squeezed over from the crowd of onlookers, and after the fight ended, the crowd of onlookers also dispersed, Lin Qingzhi shook her hands and said: "Thank you for your help, the little woman is grateful." “
"With a gesture, the girl doesn't have to be polite, I didn't expect that there is no shortage of such market thieves in Luoyang City, this bag of silver is something you lost?" The man in white took the silver bag in front of Lin Qingzhi and said with a light smile.
"Fortunately, I recovered it, this purse was embroidered by Mrs. herself, and I left it with one of the few things left for Miss, but I can't lose it." Ziling clutched her chest and gasped.
"Yes, Gongzi doesn't know, this purse is a relic of the mother, it means a lot to me, thanks to your righteous help, listening to Gongzi's accent, it shouldn't be a person from the capital, if you don't dislike it, can you move to the teahouse and let the little girl do her best as a landlord?" Lin Qingzhi smiled.
"Thanks to the girl's invitation, I shouldn't have shirked, but I still have important things to do, so I can only live up to the girl's good intentions." The man in white said with a slightly apologetic face.
"It's okay, then it won't delay Childe's precious time, may I ask Childe's honorable name, and visit him in person another day to express his gratitude?" Lin Qingzhi smiled calmly.
"In Xia Yang Xinge, thanks to the girl's refusal to give up, we will meet again." The man in white groaned slightly.
After the white clothes disappeared on the street corner, Lin Qingzhi had a smile on her lips.
Summoned Ah Er, at this moment Ah Er had already taken off the mask on his face, "staring at the woman in white just now" Lin Qingzhi said indifferently.
Ah Er disappeared with a slight bow, and after the fight just now, Ah Er had already seen that the other party was a woman, only Ziling, who was at a loss, heard that Lin Qingzhi was talking about a woman in white instead of a man in white, and said in surprise: "Miss, wasn't that a son just now, how could it be a woman?" ”
"Yes, although Ah Er only used five successes, a woman's martial arts can actually fight with him for forty round-trips, and he is also very skilled, if Ah Er didn't deliberately show his flaws, I'm afraid that he would have to fight more than a dozen round-trips, and he really wasn't a delicate princess in the royal family." Lin Qingzhi raised her eyebrows slightly, and she also felt a little admiration, and said lightly.
"Princess, princess, miss, are you saying that she is the princess of Singh from the state of Wu to send us to the kingdom of Jin?" Ziling's eyes were wide open, and her mouth was open in surprise.
"The little head has finally opened up." Lin Qingzhi stretched out her finger and tapped Ziling's forehead.
"But Princess Singh looks just average, how could Wu Guo send such an ordinary princess to kiss, I thought it was such an amazing beauty." Ziling said disappointedly.
"Just praised your brain, you were confused again, and you didn't see the true face of Lushan, how can you say that people are ordinary." Lin Qingzhi shook her head and said.
"That was clear... Yes... Miss, are you saying she wears... Human skin masks? Ziling stood in place in shock, and didn't trot to follow until Lin Qingzhi had already walked a foot away.
At this moment, Lin Qingzhi didn't have time to think more, and all that was in her mind was the meniscus tattoo pattern on Princess Singh's arm.
