Chapter 11 Swimming in the River
"Mother, do you believe this? I was in the country of Qi for several months, and I found that the king of Qi and the princess were at odds with each other, and although the king of Qi was as majestic as ever, he always had a look of trepidation. According to Erchen, something must have happened to the Qi Palace. It's better to put this matter aside for the time being and wait until next year when everything is okay. ”
"That's it. This palace does not force it, you are ambitious, you should know how to act. ”
"Mother, this is the thousand-year-old pink pearl necklace that the child brought back from the Qi country, the only one in the world. Specially honor the mother. The child believes that only this unique treasure can be worthy of the mother concubine in the world. ”
"You kid, you have a heart, you know that it hurts. Put it on for the concubine..."
King Liyang opened the topic in his own way. He avoided the matter of referring to the marriage because his interest in the woman on the river was far greater than that of the county lord of Yishui. There are so many women in the rivers and lakes, but they have not yet known that they have overturned a building ship with the power of one person, and they must order someone to investigate carefully.
King Liyang's heart couldn't help but suddenly become anxious, so he casually found an excuse, said goodbye to his mother, and hurried back to the house.
As soon as the king of Liyang returned to his house, he sent someone to find his own guest, the Xifeng Daoist of the Daoqi Alliance, and told him all about the woman in white he had met on the river, and sent him to find the woman.
Xifeng Daoren stroked his beard, pondered for a while, and replied: "Your Highness, the woman you are talking about can summon Jiang Lang to overturn the building boat with her own strength, which is really appalling. I have been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and I have never heard of it. Even the female warriors of the Tianji Pavilion and the female killers of the Blood Hand Alliance, which are rumored in the rivers and lakes, may not have this ability. ”
"The Taoist doesn't know this person?"
"It's hard to remember for a moment. Even the young master of Tianji Pavilion does not have such profound internal strength. What's more, she is far away in the southeast and has never come to Ruian City. ”
King Liyang thought thoughtfully: "In this way, this woman has not left a name on the rivers and lakes, and it is really unbelievable that such a powerful person in the rivers and lakes does not know." ”
"It's not hard to understand. Your Royal Highness, more than 40 years ago, the world was in turmoil, some warriors entered the world to assist the king, and some escaped from the world. If His Highness is concerned about this person, he might as well wait until the decision of the warrior. ”
King Liyang was a little irritable: "Since the decision of the warriors was held, there have been unwritten rules, only the warriors related to the imperial court can participate, except for the courtiers, meritorious queens, and military athletes, ordinary martial artists and ordinary people are not eligible to participate." ”
"Your Highness, don't worry. Your Highness thinks about it, twenty years ago, there were ten women's battles, and the rivers and lakes and the court were all curious about her. Twenty years have passed, and this man has not shown up for a long time. This time, the talented people of the rivers and lakes gathered in Ruian City, not to participate in the decision of the warriors, but to see her, and this woman should be no exception. On the day of the competition, wouldn't it be faster to visit the poor road than to look for it aimlessly? ”
King Liyang felt justified, and he would see her sooner or later anyway.
"In this case, this king is waiting for the good news of the Taoist."
On the river in Ryan City, a small boat slowly came. On the boat, it is forbidden to laugh, laugh and look at the scenery, and do not disturb Jiang Qi, who is standing quietly at the bow of the boat.
The sky was gray, the autumn breeze was cool, and Jiang Qi's white clothes were agitated.
Forbidden Whisper grinned and beckoned: "Master, let's have a drink together." ”
Since you are swimming in the river and enjoying the scenery, it is time to open up and play. Such a great scene, the owner also looks like he is independent, which makes her feel itchy, so she makes fun of her.
Jiang Qi did not respond to the call to silence.
The boatlady dutifully supports the boat, occasionally glancing at the woman who is called "the master". She has rarely seen such a beautiful and cold woman in her life, and looking at her thoughtful and silent appearance from afar, she is too much like a fairy who is out of reach in a painting.
Jiang Qi was immersed in his own thoughts. Ten years ago, she and her mother were still living within the high walls where only the four corners of the sky could be seen, and her mother said that she would take her to Ruian City, show her the places where her grandfather and grandmother lived, and take her to eat all the Ruian food.
Later, they escaped from the four walls, but their mother broke her promise forever......
"Master, there's a dance hall up there, let's go in and have a look. Boat girl, you are waiting for us here. The boat lady docked the boat, and the three masters and servants climbed the stairs.
On both sides of the river, pavilions are connected. Jiang Qi and the three of them walked into a dance shop near the river and asked for a private room, which was a place where the children of the noble families of Ruian City often came to have fun.
Next door, a group of princes and nobles were drinking wine and singing.
"Tomorrow is the once-in-a-decade warrior decision, and we can finally open our eyes." Someone started talking.
"What's there to see. The shame of Nagong, is it still shameful to lose enough! ”
"It's not the Jiang family! Those who are greedy for life and afraid of death, people name the Jiang family, the Jiang family is good, no one dares to fight, and they lost ten games in vain, losing all my mighty face. Prince, if you want me to say, the Jiang family should have been imprisoned a long time ago! A man full of resentment and mockery.
"Yes, it's all the Jiang family's fault." The crowd chimed in.
"When I mention this Jiang family, I am angry, I have the reputation of a prince with a different surname, and the door is full of snakes and gall rats, without talent and virtue but in a high position, and the scolding of the whole country is pretending not to be heard. If I had been them, I would have apologized to myself. ”
"Yes." Some people repeatedly said yes.
These swingers, all of them, were born in a peaceful and prosperous era, grew up in the family of Zhong Ming Dingshi, and have never experienced the troubled times of starvation, so no one wants to think that the Dingwang Jiang family has today's title, which is exchanged for the blood thrown by the troubled times.
They forgot that when Gaozu raised the army in Zhou County and begged to worship the martial arts master Jiang Tai and the hidden country master to help him calm the world's disaster, he told the Quartet that he was willing to become brothers with the two, and after the matter was completed, he would share the world.
"If you want me to say, you can't blame the Jiang family entirely. It was Beihu who changed the rules back and forth, obviously it was a competition between the two countries, and ten years ago he pointed out the Jiang family, how could there be such a reason, it was clear that he had bad intentions. This year, the rules have been changed, as long as the Jiang family has a competition. It's hard to do it once! Where is there anyone in the Jiang family to fight! ”
"No one! The old and the small, none of them are useful! If it had been twenty years ago, it would have been about the same. ”
Twenty years ago, the minds of those present were hooked again.
"Beihu changed the rules here and there, just to lure the woman out twenty years ago. I don't know where she went, and she didn't see anyone. ”
"Maybe it's because I've practiced too much, and I'm going to die." One person speculated, "Otherwise, I wouldn't let the Jiang family be humiliated for so many years without appearing." ”
"It's a pity that such a beautiful woman with strong martial arts is dead if she dies!" One sighed.
"Yo, it's still beautiful! It's like you've seen it. My uncle and father saw her go to war, she held the token of the head of the Jiang family, claiming to be a descendant of the Jiang family, but she refused to even reveal her name, let alone her whole body covered in black, I am afraid that no one in the world has seen her face. ”
"Well, who the hell is she, you say? It can't really be the descendant of that one, didn't you say that General Hongying was injured on the battlefield and couldn't have an heir......"
Although this group of people spoke wildly and disdained the current Jiang family, they thought of Jiang Tai, who was powerful in the world back then, especially Qi Yingying, the only female general of Dawei, and Qi Yingying, who was more or less in awe.
That's the person who made Gaozu's own brother King Jing willing to follow all his life.
"It doesn't matter who she is, unless she can come back from the dead, otherwise this Jiang family will definitely be defeated. Look at Jiang Tong, his life is not long! This year, it's not going to be interesting! ”
"It seems that you still don't know, Dingwangfu has already had an antidote, and Jiang Tong is safe and sound."
"Is there such a thing? Tell me about it! ”
Several people gathered together and lowered their voices.
"I heard that the day before yesterday, the people of Dingwangfu went out of the city gate at night to look for medicine, and it would be good to come back to Jiangtong."
"Tsk, are these nine-song lingzhi and ice cream flowers weeds? He decided that the palace could be found when he left the city? I'll look for a few cars to come back another day......"
Before the words were finished, several people burst into laughter.
They did not believe in the antidote found outside the city. There is such a plant in the whole Dawei palace, or it was paid tribute by the Beihu Kingdom back then, and the Heavenly Family would rather sit back and watch the prince of the first king be plotted by someone, and his fate is on the verge of death, and he is not willing to give medicine, so he knows how precious this medicine is.
If you don't send medicine, you won't even send a royal doctor to visit, let alone investigate the person who secretly attacked and plotted it. Even for the sake of the country's face, you should ask questions, you shouldn't be so cold and ruthless!
Your Majesty is deliberately trying to leave Dingwangfu with no successor! It's a pity that it is not so easy to get rid of the country and win the title. Dingwangfu has fallen so far, and there are still people secretly helping each other, not a good stubble.
It's just that these words can only be swirled in the heart, and no one dares to say it.
Because, in the inner compartment, the king of Fuling and the prince of Qi are all there.
In fact, not only the King of Fuling in the inner chamber heard everyone's sarcastic words clearly, but even the three Jiang Qi masters and servants next door could also hear it clearly.
Jiang Qi sighed silently in his heart, it turned out that in the past ten years, his uncle had lived this kind of life.
The silence was so angry that his teeth chattered.
"How can this be reasonable, dare to bury the Jiang family like this, has the Jiang family been so humiliated all these years? Master, I will go and teach them a lesson. ”
Jiang Qi didn't react, but stopped her with a smile and motioned for her to continue listening.
At this time, the audience of King Fuling in the inner compartment trampled on the Jiang family, and he was a little depressed, so he put down his cup and pushed open the window to breathe.
It is an indisputable fact that the Jiang family is weak and decaying. Every time my aunt and grandmother thought of this, she couldn't help but cry, only saying that she had hurt the Jiang family. What great feats the Jiang family has made, as the heir of the royal family, he knows it very well. However, the years are ruthless, no matter how high the family is, where can it survive the ravages of the years.
Xiao Zhaoxian saw that he was not happy, and said: "I know that because of the relationship between the eldest princess of Wangjing and the Dingwang Mansion, you don't want to listen to outsiders trample on the Jiang family. But the decline of the Jiang family has become a fact, and His Majesty has the heart to destroy the Jiang family. If this competition, the Jiang family will not be able to turn around, and it will be inevitable to seize the title and cut the land. ”
King Fuling patted the window railing angrily and sighed: "Ten years ago, before I went to Eagle Eagle Mountain, the world was still a little in awe of the Jiang family, seven years ago, I came down from Eagle Eagle Mountain, how did the Jiang family become like this!" ”
"People in the world have always stepped on the low and welcomed the high, and we should adapt to being born in such a family."
"I don't believe that the Jiang family will really be defeated, I bet that the Jiang family will be able to turn over this time."
"I bet that the Jiang family may not. It's not that I look down on the Jiang family, it's that the Jiang family is really no one. ”
King Fuling was silent, in his heart, if anyone could really be worthy of the word hero, it would definitely be Jiang Tai. Whether it is righteousness or love, he can be called a hero who stands up to the sky.
Xiao Zhaoxian sighed and walked out, calling a smiling face by the way.
