Chapter Seventy-Nine: Recapture of Asano-san
The door of the carriage was opened, and Yan Difeng and Qiansang got down from the carriage one after another and found a big tree to sit on. Stygian and Iris followed the two.
Ming Mei first took the dim sum without condiments to Emperor Yan, and said with concern: "Master, I've been on the road for a long time, let's eat something." ”
Because Fang had already eaten a few pieces of dim sum, now he was not hungry at all, and subconsciously glanced at the shallow mulberry beside him, worried about her, afraid that she would not be full, so he said with the shadows: "Give this king's this piece to the shallow mulberry." ”
"......" she endured the displeasure in her heart and said, "Master, Mei'er has specially prepared for the princess." ”
"So, put it down."
Iris sat beside Asa Sang, took a bite of the steamed bun in his hand, looked at the surrounding woods, and asked, "Master, how long do we have to go?" ”
She laughed, "What? Can't stand it just out of the palace? We've only been out of Yuezhi City for a short time, and after passing through this forest, we'll go to the next town, and after passing through the next town, we'll meet new towns, so we'll keep walking! Let's go! It took more than 30 cities and more than two months to reach the border. ”
Iris said hopelessly: "So far! ”
"Haven't you traveled far before?" She said softly.
"Yes." Iris nodded: "The farthest way the slave has traveled is from the town to the Yuezhi City...... Speaking of this, she suddenly said excitedly: "But the slave is really glad to have come to the Yuezhi City, because when he arrives in the Yuezhi City, he has the opportunity to be selected by the steward Shi and become the master's personal maid." Being able to know the master is the greatest blessing for the iris. ”
She reached out and touched her hair, her eyes full of love: "Follow me well in the future, if you don't have any money in your hand, remember to tell me, I'll give you some, you often send some home, let the family know that you are doing well." ”
"Yes." Iris nodded approvingly: "I send money to my family almost every month, and every time I write a letter, I will mention my master's care for me, and my family is very relieved to know that I am by your side." ”
"That's good."
"You're having such a good time!"
Suddenly a person's voice appeared, she subconsciously looked towards the owner of the voice, when she saw Mingmei, her brows furrowed slightly, and she said unhappily: "We talked so happily, but you came to disturb, it was a little blind." ”
"Humph!" She said, "If it weren't for the master asking me to bring you some food, I wouldn't have come over." Don't think that you are a sweetheart, as if everyone wants to be close to you. As he spoke, he threw the snack wrapped in oiled paper in his hand in front of her and turned to leave.
"You!" Seeing that she was so rude, Iris wanted to come forward and reason with her, but Assan-san stopped her.
"More is better than less, leave her alone." As he spoke, he picked up the dim sum, patted the dust on the oil paper, and said, "The dim sum is not dirty." He opened the dim sum, looked at the osmanthus cake, peach blossom cake, and pear blossom cake inside, hooked a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, glanced at the iris, and said: "Iris, don't eat steamed buns and cakes, eat some dim sum, I have eaten these dim sum before, they are delicious." ”
Iris shook her head and refused, "I still don't want it." When you go out of the house, you don't bring much dim sum, the dim sum is specially for you and the prince to eat, and the iris is the next person, just eat steamed buns and cakes. ”
"I can't eat these things, I just ate some in the carriage, and I'm full." As he spoke, he stuffed the snack into her palm and said, "Iris, eat." When there is really no dim sum, it is not too late for you to eat steamed buns and cakes. ”
Iris looked at her and said movingly: "Master, you treat me too well. ”
"You're still young, I should take care of you, eat quickly!"
Iris nodded, picked up a piece of dim sum and put it in her mouth, chewed it carefully, and said to her, "Master, it's really delicious." ”
"If it's delicious, you can eat more."
By the time everyone has rested, it is already half an hour later, and there is still half an hour to go to the next city, so if you can get there as soon as possible, you can still have a good rest. For this reason, everyone immediately packed up and set off again.
Yan Xuanfeng couldn't sleep all night on the night when Qiansang left Yuezhi City, and announced that Wen Ziyu entered the palace overnight and talked with candles and nights.
"Qiansang left Yuezhi City, and Emperor Yan Feng also left, Ziyu, what do you think about this matter?"
Wen Ziyu pondered for a while and said steadily: "If it is said that he is for the sake of unity, it is a bit far-fetched. Other than that......" He paused and didn't continue.
Yan Xuanfeng caught something in his eyes, looked at the full moon on the top of the treetops outside the window, and said, "You want to tell me that the reason he did this is for Assan." ”
Although Wen Ziyu didn't want to admit it, it was an obvious fact, her eyes were slightly condensed, thinking about Qiansang who was on the road at this time, and wondering if she was moved by his letter: "Other than that, the minister can't think of any other reason." ”
"Emperor Yan Feng left Yuezhi City, how did the ministers who supported him react?"
Wen Ziyu retracted his thoughts and said, "Since Emperor Yan Feng married the military advisor, his contacts with the ministers have not been as frequent as before. And that group of ministers has also been much more divided in recent days, and has not done anything out of the ordinary except for what is within them. ”
"When you say that, I have a little bit of understanding. Recently, there have been fewer people in the court who oppose me, and I think it is because of the relationship between Emperor Yan and Feng. Holding a black chess piece in his hand, the glazed stone chess pieces reflected a mysterious light under the moonlight, which reminded him of Emperor Yanfeng. He has been planning for many years, in order to seize the throne, although he promised to temporarily unite with the outside world after marrying Assan, but all this is temporary, if the war is over...... In any case, it is important to take precautions as early as possible.
"Tomorrow, the flying pigeon will pass the book to Qiansang, let her keep an eye on Emperor Yan Feng, if he has any abnormal behavior, he must inform me as soon as possible."
Wen Ziyu bowed slightly: "The minister understands." ”
"Ziyu." His tone softened, and his deep eyes were mixed with a different kind of emotion, as if helpless, as if he was bitter: "Actually, my heart is very entangled. ”
Wen Ziyu's eyes flickered slightly, and then regained his composure: "Why is the emperor entangled?" ”
"For Assa-san."
Wen Ziyu narrowed his eyebrows, and his long eyelashes cast a shadow on his eyelids, making the warmth and temperament around him completely gone, and he was a little more gloomy out of thin air.
"The emperor likes military advisors?"
He glanced at him with sharp eyes, then raised his head and laughed "haha", pointing at him without any image of laughing, and said: "It is worthy of being my confidant, in one word!" ”
Wen Ziyu didn't feel that his words were funny because of his smile, there was a little coldness in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "But the military master is married to King Yan after all, and he is already the princess of Yan, and the emperor ......."
"Ziyu." He called out to him suddenly, stopping the words that came out of his mouth.
Wen Ziyu subconsciously looked up at him.
He said: "In the current situation, Yan Difeng seems to be standing with us, but in fact he is only standing on the edge of the ship, and this marginal position makes us a temporary partner, but it is not permanent. His eyes were fixed, and he said: "After the war with Bai Shenguo and Yu Minguo is over, there will definitely be a battle between me and him, and I plan to recapture Assan-san from his hands before starting a war with him." ”
