38. Seeing and not seeing
The Wenchen, led by Lou Zhao, strongly advocated going out of the city to greet him. However, the generals and direct nobles resolutely opposed going out of the city to greet them. It's not that they attach much importance to the feelings of the eldest princess of Qin, but that the etiquette is determined, which also determines the attitude towards Ying Shi in the future, if she acquiesces to marry the king of Chu, once the king of Chu dies of illness, she will be the queen mother of the state of Chu, and like the queen mother of Zhaoxiang back then, she can be the regent of the country.
The argument between the two sides was fruitless, and everyone was in a hurry, only Su Tian was not in a hurry and put this matter on the desk. It was not until there was a quick horse report that the honor guard of the Qin State escorting the princess Yingshi was about to arrive outside Shouchun City, and then he asked someone to arrange for him to go out of the city in person.
Mo Yu half-knelt on the bed, put on his robe, and tied the straps one by one. With the flip of his fingers, he asked him casually: "Do you really want to greet her according to the etiquette of marrying Princess Chu?" "No matter how you think about it, Mo Yu doesn't like to win poetry.
Su Tian patted her hand and tied it where she couldn't reach: "Of course not, I've already figured out how to receive her, but there's no need to let others know now." ”
Mo Yu pouted: "Am I someone else?" Don't even tell me. She reached for the belt on the crown of Su Tianqingyu, and her whole body leaned forward, almost falling to the ground.
Su Tian stopped to catch her, and tied up his hair crown: "It's not that I won't tell you, but I'm not ready, if the person I'm looking for can't be found, there will be no way." He got up and took a picture in the bronze mirror to make sure that there was no disheveled clothes, and then turned to Mo Yu and said, "I'll send you back to Wenze Garden to wait for me first, and then go outside the city." ”
"No, I don't want to, take me, take me." Like chanting a mantra, he hung on Su Tian's arm.
"This is diplomatic relations between the two countries, not a joke...... Su Tian stroked his forehead helplessly, "Okay, you haven't been out for a long time, it's okay to go out of the city." I can't take you on the same ride, you are obedient in the back, and I will come out when I finish dealing with the previous things. ”
Mo Yu hurriedly agreed, followed him out, and got into the last car.
The honor guard of the Chu State was extremely grand, the five-color flag opened the way, and the curtain of the car made of eastern beads hung down, covering Su Tian's face and figure. The convoy left the city from the main gate of Shouchun and met with the escort team of the Qin State ten miles outside the city.
Mo Yu couldn't resist his curiosity, and he wanted to know how Su Tian greeted Ying Shi, and forgot all about the words he told her not to run around before leaving the city. The maid knew that she was intimate with Su Tian, and no one stopped her. Mo Yu took a small road and went around to the front of the entire convoy.
Su Tian had already sent someone to set up a long shed in advance, prepared drinks, vegetables and fruits, and entertained the envoys of the Qin State. Ying Shi was dressed in a costume, with exquisite facial features and a cold and indifferent expression. These two people were not very talkative, and around the long shed, the attendants did not even dare to breathe, and could only hear the sound of the wind rolling up the flag and slapping on the flagpole.
Ying Shi was actually very anxious, she didn't know what Su Tian was waiting for, the longer it dragged on, the greater the variables. Helplessly, Su Tian looked like she was in a good time, and from time to time she introduced the good tea and good dishes of Chu State, and she could only listen patiently.
The sun was slanting in the west, and only then did the fast horse run to the outside of the long shed, and the person on the horse turned over and knelt down in front of Su Tian, raised his hands above his head, and handed over a bamboo slip. Su Tian took the bamboo slip with his fingertips, looked at it carefully a few times, and then smiled politely and politely, and sent the bamboo slip to Ying Shi: "The princess came from afar, this is a thin gift specially prepared for the princess, after the princess entered Shouchun City, please send off the envoy to bring this gift back." ”
Ying Shi took the bamboo slip, and there were only a few names written on it, and it was not a prince or nobleman, similar to Zhang San, Li Si, and Wang Wu. Su Tian explained unhurriedly: "This is the fugitive from the Qin State who was arrested before, suspected of assassinating Gongzi Yu, and now, on behalf of the King of Chu, I will return them to the Qin State." He stood up and gently brushed the catkins stained on his clothes: "It's not too early, please let the princess enter the city." ”
Holding the bamboo slip, Ying Shi's face turned white with anger, originally saw Su Tian personally go out of the city to greet him, thinking that it was a foregone conclusion, but he didn't expect him to suddenly come to such a hand. The state of Chu returned the fugitives to the state of Qin, and Ying Shi could not refuse. But in this case, what is her entering Chu? Swap? The princess of a country is sacrificed in exchange for a few unknown fugitives, and in less than a month, she will become the biggest laughing stock of the six countries.
Mo Yu, who was hiding on the side, couldn't help but chuckle when he saw Ying Shi's face alternating between blue and white. She didn't like Ying Shi's arrogant appearance, and when she saw that she was rectified by Su Tian and suffered a dumb loss, her heart was dark for a while.
When the people in the shed heard the laughter, they couldn't help but look at it, and Mo Yu quickly shrank back and hid behind the wheels. Su Tian knew that it was her, and his fingers tapped on the table as a warning, with a rare smile on the corner of his mouth. Next to Ying Shi, the person who had been sitting quietly in the shadows also raised his head and glanced at Mo Yu's body quickly.
Ying Shi reluctantly got into the car, and Su Tian motioned to the people he brought to get out of the way and asked the envoys of the Qin State to pass first. After Ying Shi left, Mo Yu jumped out from behind the wheel, naturally grabbed Su Tian's arm, and said with a smile: "It turns out that you have already thought of a way to humiliate Ying Shi, I see that her face is greener than a cucumber in anger, ha!" ”
"I didn't think about it in advance, I originally sent someone to interrogate them, did Gongzi Yu have anything abnormal before he died. The interrogation was fruitless, but the person came in handy today. ”
Mo Yu walked backwards in front of Su Tian: "Then return them to the Qin State, and Gongzi Yu's Yugui won't be tracked down?" ”
Su Tian opened his mouth to stop her, but before the words came out, the ink rumor had already hit a person with an "ah". She hurriedly jumped away, but who knew the person behind her, but reached out to hug her.
"I'm sorry, I ......" Mo Yu looked back and apologized, half a sentence choked in his throat. A face close at hand behind her, with long narrow phoenix eyes and thin lips, looked at her steadily.
Seeing this face, Mo Yu was short of breath, and reached out angrily to push him away. Xiao Zhen didn't move, his hands clasped around Mo Yu, and refused to let her go. When Mo Yu fell into the valley, he hurt his heart and lungs, and between the struggles, he pulled the old wounds, his chest was swollen and painful, his face was flushed, and he couldn't even breathe. One hand covers his heart, and the other hand is still pushing hard.
Su Tian took a step forward, took out the pill from Mo Yu's body, crushed it and fed it into her mouth, turned around and made a solemn gesture to Xiao Zhen: "She collided with the envoy of the Qin State, I apologize for her, her injuries are not healed yet, I will take her back." ”
Xiao Zhen slowly let go of his hand and stared at Mo Yu: "I have a few words that I want to tell you alone." ”
"I don't have anything to say to you," Mo Yu's face turned pale, and as soon as Xiao Zhen's hand was released, she leaned on Su Tian, "If you have to say it, you can say it here." ”
"Xiao Yu, are you angry with me...... Xiao Zhen was interrupted by her halfway through his words: "Who is Xiao Yu?" I don't recognize it. Besides, how dare I be angry, you are a distinguished guest of the Qin State, and it is too late for me to entertain well. ”
Xiao Zhen's face changed color, his knuckles were pinched, he endured it and endured it, and finally said with a pleasant face: "Xiao Yu, you hurt your heart and lungs, I taught you the method of vomiting before, and you can't practice it anymore." I know a lot of famous doctors, go back and ask them to help you see, it doesn't matter if you are angry with me or not, but your body is your own, and you can't spoil it. ”
"What do I love and what does it matter to you? Besides......" Mo Yu didn't even want to look at him, she suddenly pursed her lips and smiled, and glanced at Su Lean, "If I have anything uncomfortable, he will help me see it, and he will also invite many skilled doctors, and this is enough." ”
The words were relaxed, but her face became more and more ugly, and the hand on Su Tian's wrist continued to break out in a cold sweat, and her breathing became more and more rapid. Su poured over the ink rumor, took her into the carriage, and hurriedly hugged his fist at Xiao Zhen: "I'm sorry, I missed it." ”
When passing by Xiao Zhen's side, Mo Yu clearly heard him say: "Xiao Yu, if you don't want to listen to my explanation, it's okay, I will definitely come to you again." No matter what, I'm going to take you away. ”
Mo Yu didn't look over his head, and didn't look at him from beginning to end. He is the one who takes the initiative to approach, he is the one who deliberately deceives, and he is the one who makes all the mistakes, how can he still look like he has been wronged? She couldn't argue now, she just wanted to cut off all contact with him, and it was better not to see him again until she died.
