Chapter 10 The Chess Game Begins
Forbidden to stick out his tongue, and said coquettishly: "Ji Niang, I was wrong, I admit my mistake." Isn't it true that I always secretly follow the master when I look at the Nine Arts, what do I say to watch the master for the Hidden Country Master, and ask the master to keep the contract, it's really annoying. I don't like him if I don't leave, and in order to drive him away, I also had a fight with him. ”
"The master didn't dislike him, is it your turn to dislike him? The hidden country master is the master's worldly senior, the nine techniques and the master have a young age, you and the master are only four years of master and servant love, in terms of weight, you are not as good as the nine arts. Even if you don't like it, don't take offense in the future. ”
Qi Niang's words can be described as beating, Qingge is an orphan girl raised by Qi Niang since she was a child, but the ban on laughter is not, it is not suddenly brought back from another place, and then it is forced to be placed next to the owner. Relatively speaking, the origin of these two sisters is mysterious and unknown, and they don't like it.
Ban Xiao glanced at Ban Yan and motioned for her to stop talking. asked: "Ji Niang, did the Nine Techniques come to Ruian City this time?" ”
Ji Niang's face softened.
"Jiushu is the embroidered messenger of the Great Wei Royal Seal, I don't like Ryan, and I haven't followed him yet."
After speaking, she was the first to stand up, because their master, Jiang Qi, a woman in white on the Seser River, appeared. She still has that cold look, tired between her eyebrows and eyes, and a feeling of indifference to everything.
"Aunt Ji, don't be polite. Sit it all down. Jiang Qi commanded lightly.
Ji Niang didn't see her for a long time, first looked at her complexion, and was happy for her: "It seems that it is all good, ten years is enough to digest the internal force, your mother was like this back then, Qi Niang is here to congratulate the master, except for the hidden national teacher, no one in the world can help to get the master." I hope that the master will spread his wings and soar high in the nine heavens from now on, and will not be bound by any worries in the world. ”
Ji Niang was originally an orphan adopted by the first king Jiang Tai, and she was a sister with Jiang Shiyin, and worked hard for the Jiang family with other adopted people.
Ten years ago, Jiang Shiyin committed suicide and died, and her heart was like a knife, and she was entrusted with the important task of being a good sister, and since then she has been conscientiously taking care of all affairs, waiting for Jiang Qi to grow up and return. Now, Jiang Qi has grown into a woman who is the best in the world as she hoped, how can she not feel gratified?
Jiang Qi smiled faintly: "Aunt Qi, don't worry, I won't be like my mother." ”
When Ji Niang heard her say this, she really felt relieved. She was worried that Jiang Qi would still not be able to bear the death of her own mother, so she deliberately mentioned Jiang Shiyin. Now that she is nothing, I know that she is stronger in her heart than her mother.
Jiang Qi looked at Qingge beside Ji Niang. At that time, Jiang Shiyin followed the example of her ancestors and adopted many orphans, and more often than not, her mother was raising her, and Qingge was one of them.
"Qingge, you come to report to the master."
Qingge, who had few words, listened to Ji Niang's arrangement and stood up: "Master, according to the previous plan, Li Ding has already attracted Xiao Xuan, I plan to see Li Ding in the next two days and eat heartbreaking pills for him." It's just that the people of the Xiao family still didn't come to Princess Qi. ”
"You keep doing this. As for the Liang family, she will come sooner or later. ”
"Our people in the Qi Kingdom, Nanyue and Bo Kingdom are all in place, as long as there is movement on the side of Ruian City, they can act."
"Tell you and let him control it. Ryan City can't make a big splash for the time being. ”
As soon as Banyan heard this, he became energetic: "Master, why don't you do it when the Xiao family is here?" ”
Jiang Qi didn't speak. Ji Niang replied: "After the decision of the warriors, before the other party makes a move, we must not act rashly." ”
Ban Yan was dissatisfied, and muttered: "Master, there are only a few people in the Xiao family, even if you want to cut them with a thousand knives, it will be easy." Why do you have to keep the agreement with the hidden national teacher, and go to great lengths. ”
"Silence, shut up! The boldness is getting bigger. The master's decision, do you have your turn to question! Is it to send you back to the side! Ji Niang reprimanded the ban.
"Silence, don't hurry up and ask the master for guilt." Forbidden laugh pulled his sister to kneel and pleaded guilty.
Ban Yan bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "Master, I'm not questioning, I think it's not worth it to let the master be in the whirlpool for the sake of a mere Xiao family." The first time I saw the master, I felt that the master was a goddess in the sky, but whoever you want to die, you will not hesitate to say that you are willing to go to the soup and fire, and you don't have to do it yourself. The people of the Xiao family are not qualified to meet their masters, they are rats in the gutter, and they will dirty themselves at a glance. ”
Jiang Qi was not angry or smiling, with a light expression that saw through everything, she said slowly: "I know you think it is strange, you can make the Xiao family disappear without knowing it, why do I still come in person?" You only know that my target is the Xiao family, but you don't know what kind of enmity the Xiao family has with me. You can guess, but I won't say it myself, maybe in the near future, you will hear the truth. I endured this revenge for ten years. If it weren't for the Hidden Country Teacher's obstruction, when I walked down Eagle Eagle Mountain at the age of twelve, I would have wanted the Xiao family to die. But I figured it out, it is better to let a person's body die than to let him live as well as die. The ten-year period has come, and this is my revenge, and I will avenge it with my own hands. In the future, you don't want to ask again, and I don't want to hear anymore. Whoever says one more word will disappear from my eyes in an instant. ”
Everyone in the room bowed their heads in unison, except for Ji Niang, I am afraid that no one can understand Jiang Qi's personal feud better.
So they have a lot of doubts, and they have not been confirmed in private exchanges, and now the master has officially spread out the words, from now on, they can only execute, not question, this is their duty.
Qingge saw that Jiang Qi was not angry, and hurriedly expressed his feelings for Buli: "Master, don't leave the letter, saying that he misses his master very much, he is busy arranging manpower in Nanyue and Southwest, and he can't get away for the time being, so let me stay with the master first." He hoped that his master could stay in Ruian City for a longer time, so he carved a new piece of jade and wanted to give it to his master with his own hands. ”
Jiang Qi's brows moved.
Forbidden to speak, forbidden to laugh and cover their mouths and smile, they no longer understand the reason for the master's reaction, they are not far from the nine techniques, it is not enough to put them next to the master, and they also want Qingge to look at the master. I am also afraid that the master will forget him, so I have to send a piece of jade carved by myself from time to time to remind the master of his existence.
Jiang Qi tilted his head slightly, glanced at the two of them, and the two of them smiled, not daring to be presumptuous anymore.
"If you don't leave your kindness, how can you not receive it? Qingge, during my days in Ruian City, I bothered you to stay in the villa and help Lin Bo take care of it. As for you—" she looked at the forbidden smile, "and will accompany me to the river the day after tomorrow." ”
In the inner garden of the deep palace, the imperial doctor returned to Emperor Qingli and the king of Qi and his party were temporarily fine after falling into the water, and then retreated.
The king of Liyang drank the cold soup and came back to report what he had seen and heard in the country of Qi for several months. It is nothing more than that the old lord of Nanyue is mediocre and incompetent, the national teacher of the Xian nationality holds great power, and the princes fight, but the Xian people under the rule of the Qi State have not moved. It's just that the Xian tribe living in the southwest border has launched another attack on the southwest Baimu tribe, but unfortunately in vain.
Emperor Qingli nodded from time to time and asked what he was most concerned about: "I ordered you to visit the Southwest Communist Master, is there any news?" ”
"The father forgave the sin, the son did not find out this person, perhaps it was a folk rumor, the Southwest Xian people have not been able to attack the small countries in the southwest for a long time, it is really because of the terrain. Since ancient times, the southwest mountains are high and the rivers are long, and the moat is difficult to cross, so few outsiders have stepped in. It's not because of the legendary Southwest Communist. ”
"There is no best. I am afraid that the people who have been hiding for forty years have already secretly trained a large army in the southwest, so I will wait for the time to be ripe, so that I can collude with the king of Qi and take the opportunity to subvert our Qi country from the south to the north. ”
King Liyang knew that Jiang Tai, who had been in seclusion for forty years, was Emperor Qingli's biggest heart problem, but he didn't think so. The Jiang family was suppressed, and the dignified prince could not go out of Beijing to become a vassal domain, and could not enjoy the real power of the prince to govern the country, and lived in Ruian City for a long time like a hostage, and was monitored for 40 years. How humiliating is the treatment of the king of Biqi? What else is there to worry about.
"When the King of Qi entered Beijing, why didn't the Princess of Qi accompany him?"
"Princess Qi seems to have a stubborn illness, she rarely shows up, and she avoids Lianghulu."
Emperor Qingli thought for a while, but he didn't know whether to believe what King Liyang said, and after a while, he asked: "What is the details of the person who fell into the water to King Qi today?" Can you find it? ”
King Liyang knew that the emperor's suspicion was too heavy, so he simply retreated as an advance, and deliberately suggested: "Back to my father, today's incident is that the lord of Yishui County has no form, and provoked a woman from the rivers and lakes who came from an unknown place, and the other party is reckless and reckless in revenge." Erchen felt that the decision of the warriors was imminent, and the rangers of the rivers and lakes entered Ruian City one after another, and they rushed everywhere without knowing the height of the sky, and it was time to take care of it. If the father and the emperor approve it, the son will do it immediately, and he will definitely be able to find the woman. ”
Emperor Qingli listened to it and put his mind at ease. It's because he is too sensitive, and when he hears about people with strong martial arts, he will always subconsciously think of the Jiang family.
"It doesn't matter. The people of the rivers and lakes are high-spirited and easy to fight, and they will leave after the decision of the warriors. ”
The conversation between the father and son was exciting, and the king of Liyang had something in his heart and was about to retire, when a eunuch hurriedly came to report.
"Your Majesty, the poison of the prince has been cured."
Emperor Qingli was stunned, really worried about something.
"Who is so bold to dare to take care of the Jiang family's affairs! Can you have a detective or two? ”
"Back to Your Majesty, not for the time being. The person who came deliberately used the trick of diverting the tiger from the mountain and lured away the shadow guard. "The eunuch wiped his sweat.
The prince of Dingwang was poisoned for many days, and his life was short, and it was expected that there would be no more branches, so he relaxed his vigilance against the Jiang family, and he did not expect that anyone would dare to come to this troubled water.
"Waste. Each person is punished with a hundred rods, and the other is guarded by shadow guards. ”
"Yes."
Emperor Qingli waved his hand irritably, and King Liyang retired. When he went out, he went to visit his mother, whom he hadn't seen for months.
The concubine Lu has been waiting for a long time, and after the death of the Lin family, she has been in charge of the harem for 20 years.
Seeing her son, the Lu family couldn't help but nag a few words, it was nothing more than a few months, she missed it so much, which led the topic to the matter of King Liyang's concubine.
"Emperor, you are not young, you have not married a concubine, and your mother is always at ease. Since you have been with the county lord of Yishui for several months, in my opinion, this marriage will be decided. ”
"Mother, don't worry. This matter will be discussed for the time being. ”
"Emperor, it's not the concubine urging you, you really can't delay. You used to always say that you wanted to find someone who was agreeable, your father and mother were up to you, but you didn't think that your eighth brother's sister-in-law was full moon, and you didn't even have a concubine. Lao Jiu has no one to do for him, and the aspiring daughters of the high family always have to weigh him. You are different, how many people are waiting for you to choose! ”
"Mother, here you go again! It's only been these two years, don't worry, I'll always let my mother hold my grandson. ”
"Don't wait. King Qi entered Beijing this time, on the bright side of the pilgrimage, but it was actually for marriage, Shang Wenyue, the gentleman of the prosperous world, is a foregone conclusion, and the marriage of the lord of Yishui County will either fall on you or him. She quietly wrote down the word "nine", referring to the king of Fuling. "You can't be cheaper for him. Previously, Princess Qi sent a letter, and she promised that if you get married, his Nian Xian clan and the Qi Wangfu will definitely help you reach the next level. ”
This re-ascending level naturally refers to the position of the Ninth Five-Year Plan.
