Chapter 47: Another War
The golden autumn of October is coming to an end, the green has been draped in gold, and the clouds in the sky are drifting higher and higher.
Ruyi has been a little anxious these days, I heard that the previous dynasty had already quarreled over the use of troops against Han Zhao, and Ling Huyuan was ordered to go back to recuperate from his injuries because of this matter.
Ruyi is a little worried about Linghu, because of himself, Linghu Yuan has been squeezed out by the king recently.
And the war was about to break out again, and Ruyi wanted to see Wei Poppy several times to persuade him, but he was blocked from the door.
Ruyi can only learn some information from Sun Bin.
On this day, Ruyi suddenly received a secret letter from Sun Bin, asking her to meet next to the rockery by Taihu Lake in the back garden.
Although Ruyi didn't think this was like Senior Brother Sun's style, she was worried that the current situation was really important, so she decided to go to the appointment.
"Miss really doesn't need me to accompany you?" Xia He asked with some concern.
"It's okay, I'll go by myself, Senior Brother Sun may have something important to say."
In the evening, the sun sinks to the west, and everything on the earth is shrouded in a hazy mystery.
Ruyi waited by the rockery for a long time before seeing Senior Brother Sun hurrying over, and then panting and said, "The palace gate is about to fall into the key, what is the matter with Senior Sister looking for me so late?" ”
When Ruyi heard this, he understood that he was afraid that he had fallen into a trap.
"I'm afraid we've fallen into a trap, and I also came here after receiving a secret letter from my senior brother, so let's go." Ruyi finished as calmly as possible.
Ruyi turned around and was about to leave, but somehow the soles of his feet slipped and fell backwards. Sun Bin was still a little stunned, but when he saw that his sister was about to fall, he hurriedly picked it up, and stepped forward to catch Ruyi, but the momentum was too great, and the two of them fell to the ground at the same time, but this time Sun Bin was half of his body underneath.
Sun Bin snorted and struggled to stand up.
But I heard a familiar voice behind me exclaiming: "Senior brother, senior sister, ...... you?" ”
It's such a coincidence, and the time is really exactly right. Ruyi gritted his teeth, propped up his aching arm and got up, and then calmly helped Sun Bin up.
Only then did he raise his eyes to look at the speaker, only to see Wei Poppy standing there without saying a word with a frosty face, looking more and more weird in the night that had just fallen. And standing next to him was their good brother Pang Juan.
Sun Bin didn't quite understand the current situation, brushed the dust on his body, and politely saluted, "See the king." ”
The remaining three didn't speak, and Wei Poppy only looked at Ruyi, and Ruyi looked back at Wei Poppy calmly without being humble or arrogant.
Then it was Pang Juan who broke the silence, "Don't blame the king, the junior brother and the junior sister are also very close to each other on the mountain, and they often communicate problems together, thinking that the investment in communication forgets the time." ”
These words sounded like they were defending them, but Wei Pop's expression, which had just loosened a little, instantly became more and more cold.
Wei Poppy stepped forward and pulled up Ruyi and left, and then coldly ordered the two people who were still standing there, "You all go back first." ”
Ruyi's wrist was dragged by Wei Poppy, and she used all her strength to shake off the shackles, "Let go of me." ”
Wei Poppy stopped abruptly, turned around and wrapped Ruyi in his arms, and said in a voice full of infinite pain, "What do you want me to do, why can they be, but I can't." ”
When Ruyi heard this, he stopped struggling and said calmly, "Am I such a person in your mind?" Cousin, we can't be together, let's let it go. ”
Wei Poppy's body stiffened, his arms slowly drooped, and his handsome face was full of pain, "I won't let go." With that, he turned around and strode away.
In the second day, Shaohua Hall sent additional guards, and the entrance and exit restrictions were very strict, restricting Ruyi from leaving the palace, and even in the palace, there were a large number of guards to follow.
At this time, the former dynasty was officially summoned to send troops to Han and Zhao, and Pang Juan was the general to lead the army, and set off in a few days.
The Wei army was like a splitting bamboo, and good news was spread frequently. Conquering many cities along the way, and with the support of the Qin army, the Wei army was soon defeated by Han Yumaling and Zhao Yuhuai.
Ruyi listened indifferently to Xia He's narration. Some things are meant to be prevented but they will happen, and perhaps this is just fate.
"Miss, many people say that this war was fought well and the independence of Wei was preserved." Xia He said.
"But at this point, the Wei State will also fall into isolation, and the Three Jin Alliance will be completely broken."
"Isn't there still the support of the Qin State?"
"Qin Xiangong did swear an oath with Wuhou when he was in exile in Wei before, but his support was for his own cultivation, Qin's initial behavior and initial lease have already achieved initial results, and the national strength has increased greatly, and it will not be long before we should focus on the Hexi region." Ruyi said with a sigh. The ultimate strength of the Qin State is a historical inevitability, and she can't stop it.
After a while, Xia He said, "Miss, I heard that the general is going back to Guiling again." ”
"So fast?" Ruyi didn't expect Ling Huyuan to be sent by Yuan again so soon, and he was really affected by himself. She managed to go out and meet him.
Ruyi thought for a while and came up with an idea, and took out two human skin masks from the sachet on her body, which was still useless for Wu Ming to give her before, so try it today.
Ruyi spread out two masks, one male and one female. I chose the woman's one, and folded the man's one and put it back. Although the human skin mask is as thin as a cicada's wings, it is very tough, and Ruyi accidentally has blood beads cut out of his fingers. Ruyi hurriedly pulled out his hand from the sachet to check, but only made a small cut, and the blood beads had been rubbed off.
Ruyi didn't care, and continued to tell Xia He to find a hat and a fishing hook, and said that he was going to Taihu Lake to fish. Then I followed a group of people to Taihu Lake in the back garden.
Ruyi was so disturbed that the fish didn't take the bait, so the guards stood farther away, and he sat on the shore with a hat. After a while, Ruyi said that she wanted to be respectful, and Xia He and another maid accompanied her
After a while, I returned to the lake and continued fishing. The guards looked at the same size as the hats and clothes, and they didn't suspect it, still standing in the outer circle and guarding.
However, at this time, Ruyi had already put on a mask and changed into a female official's clothes, and quietly went to the palace gate.
When he arrived at the palace gate, Ruyi was worried about what to do if he didn't have a waist card, so he watched from a distance as Linghu Yuan walked over from the corridor and was about to leave the palace.
Ruyi hurriedly stopped Ling Huyuan and dragged him to a hidden corner. Ling Hu Yuan reacted faster, grabbed Ruyi's wrist and cut it back, and asked sharply, "Who is it?" What to do? ”
Ruyi hurriedly spoke, "It's me." ”
Ling Huyuan quickly let go when he heard Ruyi's voice, but when he looked closely, the face was the face of a strange woman.
Ling Huyuan was still vigilant and asked suspiciously, "What's the matter?" ”
Ruyi saw that Ling Huyuan was still on guard, and secretly admired Wu Ming's mask in his heart, "It's really me." Then he took out a crescent-shaped jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Ling Hu to look at.
Linghu saw the jade pendant, it was wishful thinking, and relaxed. "Why are you dressed up like this?"
"It's a long story, you can take me out of the palace first." Ruyi urged.
"Okay, you can pretend to be my maid and follow me."
The two walked out of the palace gate smoothly one after the other.
Wei Poppy was still a little uncomfortable with this strange woman's face, so he found a restaurant with Ruyi and asked for a private room.
After entering the private room, the two of them detailed the recent situation. Ling Hu Yuan slapped the table angrily, "I didn't expect the king to restrict your freedom. ”
"He is now the king, no longer the original highness." After Ruyi finished speaking, both of them were silent. Nowadays, the identity relationship has changed. If Wei Pop stays in the palace, it will be really tricky.
"Don't worry, I bet he won't." Ruyi said firmly.
