61. Reunion after the catastrophe
In the early morning, Hong'er couldn't sleep for a long time, for five years, Hong'er had been waiting for this day, and she couldn't wait, shouting: "Ah Luan, Ah Luan." โ
"Yes, Prime Minister." I only heard a familiar voice at the door answer, "What does the prime minister command?" โ
"Are you ready for everything I want?" Hong'er asked, and Hong'er asked again, for fear that there would be a mistake.
"Back to Prime Minister, I'm loading the car, and it will be fine soon." For these things, Hong'er sacrificed a lot, took out all his treasures, and exchanged them for these grains, there was no way, Yue Jun gave too little, and at noon, they arrived at the camp of the Chinese army, "Excuse me, let me report, the envoy of Lingqi State, ask to see Prime Minister Zhuge ." โ
"Please wait." A little soldier, said politely.
It didn't take long for Hong'er and his party to go in, after all, there weren't many people, Hong'er, Ji Luan, and some entourage, Zhuge Liang personally went out of the Chinese army's tent to greet him, "If you miss the distance, I hope to forgive your sins." โ
Hong'er didn't speak, pinched Ji Luan, and Ji Luan said according to what had been done in advance: "Prime Minister Zhuge is polite." When he came to the tent, Hong'er sat down,
But Ji Luan stood aside, in order not to make Kong Ming suspicious, Ji Luan first explained Hong'er, and said with a pleasant face: "Prime Minister Zhuge don't be surprised, our female prime minister has a bad voice and can't speak, you can bear with me." โ
Kong Ming sat in front of the handsome desk and shook the feather fan gently, "It's okay, it's an honor to see the female prime minister today." โ
Kong Ming is still the same as before, elegant and handsome, the years have always left traces on his face, his sideburns are white, fine lines are climbing on the corners of his eyes, his back is gradually bent, and he has also grown a beard, she has missed a lot in the past five years.
Ji Luan replied: "Prime Minister Zhuge is polite. After chatting about homely things first, Kong Ming asked, "Is there anything you have to do when you come here?" "The sergeant who served the tea just now also left, and there were only Kong Ming and Hong'er in the Chinese military tent, as well as Ji Luan, so Hong'er planned to sit down and leave.
Hong'er did a lot of calculations, but she didn't expect Ma Jian to come in at this time, "Prime Minister." โ
Ma Tan turned his head sideways, saw Hong'er, and said, "Madam, you are here, you have come to see the prime minister." Kong Ming's teacup shattered in response, and the tea splashed to the corner of his clothes, and he didn't care about being rude, and hurriedly asked, "Youchang, what do you call her?" Who is she? โ
Ma Jian was also a little surprised, "She is, it's Mrs. Hong'er." Kong Ming was overjoyed and said excitedly: "Hong'er, you're back, I know you won't lie to me." At this time, Hong'er stood up, "Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng, I'll talk about business first." โ
Hong'er said as quickly as possible: "It's been a long time, Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng, we are a small barbarian country, and we dare not go against the kingdom of heaven. โ
Kong Ming was sitting precariously, "Female Prime Minister, you're polite, we are also willing to live in harmony with you." Kong Ming said very bluntly, without beating around the bush, "Refreshing, we are very willing to cooperate with the Kingdom of Heaven." Hong'er said.
"Hong'er, why are you in Lingdi Country!" Kong Ming asked suspiciously, and Hong'er whispered to Ji Luan, "I want to catch up with Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng, you guys go out first." โ
"No." Ma Jian and Ji Luan went out together, at this time, there were only Kong Ming and Hong'er, Kong Ming walked down, approached Hong'er, and said: "Hong'er, I know, you will definitely come back, I'm waiting for you." โ
Kong Ming stretched out his hand to take off Hong'er's hat, Hong'er was startled, and covered the hat with both hands, "Don't come here, I'm not the Hong'er of the year, you forget me." โ
"Hong'er, you said that you would come back, do you want to stay in the barbarians for the rest of your life?"
Hong'er sneered, "Do not do to others what you do not want to be done to yourself." If I want you to give up your position as prime minister and live in seclusion in the mountains with me, will you? โ
Of course Kong Ming won't, at least not now, he, and the burden of entrusting the orphan, "Hong'er, the first lord entrusted the latter lord to me when he was dying, and the great cause of dominating the world is not yet over, I can't give up because of my children's personal feelings." โ
Hong'er had long known that he would say this, and he would not give up for this, which is also what Hong'er appreciates about him.
"What's wrong with the barbarians? Although it is not as good as Shu, I am also the prime minister here, and you and I have the same status. "Hong'er sometimes really thinks that the barbarians are better than the Han Dynasty, the people are simple, and there is no need to fight back and forth.
Kong Ming chuckled, "Yes, I should have thought that it was you, the female prime minister, and only you have this ability, now in the Lingqi country, the road is not left behind, there are no thieves in the mountains, the family is sufficient, you govern it very well." โ
"Isn't Shu also very well governed by you? Liu Bei is the emperor, and you are also the prime minister, so what about the emperor? He is the real emperor, you, just usurping the throne like Cao Pi, I have long seen your ambitions. โ
Hong'er should have killed Cao Pi in the first place, regret it, he is more ruthless than his father Cao Cao, and even his own brother has to be killed, hey, regret the beginning.
Hong'er came out with all her anger, "Liu Bei said it well, for the sake of the big man, in fact, it is to satisfy his endless ambition to want the world,
You, to put it bluntly, are also a chess piece of his, an important chess piece on his way to success, fortunately, he has not achieved his great cause, and he will die first, otherwise, you will become the second Han Xin. โ
Kong Ming's eyes were puzzled, I don't know what Hong'er has experienced, it will become like this, she used to call Liu Bei the lord, just to protect herself, and she has never served him.
Liu Bei, Wen can't โกโก, Wu can't set the country, I really don't know why so many people are working hard for him, Kong Ming's face is also a little unhappy, "Hong'er, the ancestor has gone, let's not talk about it, whether it's right or wrong, it doesn't matter anymore." โ
Hong'er doesn't know Kong Ming very well now, for some reason, she wants to see him, but when she really sees him, what Hong'er wants is to run away, and escaping can't solve the problem.
"In the thorny bushes of the red erratium, it is not a place for the phoenix, come back, don't run around anymore, go home with me." Family? What a ridiculous word, where does Hong'er still have a home? Ma Chao is dead, the one that belongs to her, there is a place for her, and there is no home for her to stay, and now Hong'er is really homeless.
"If a person drinks water, he knows whether he is warm or cold." Only Hong'er herself knows that staying means that supreme power and status are not available to her in the Central Plains, and can only be achieved in Lingdi Kingdom, but there are still infinite thoughts, which is more important?
"Hong'er, now that you have unappreciated merits, with the power of the Lord, do you think your lord will let you go?" When Kong Ming said it, there was also a little pain in his heart, as if he could see that Yue Jun wanted to get rid of her as soon as possible, "No, he won't." โ
Hong'er said firmly, but Kong Ming didn't believe it, he had seen too much, and there were many such examples in the history books, and Hong'er also knew it, Kong Ming asked rhetorically, "How do you know, he must not be!" It seemed that Kong Ming didn't believe it, Hong'er gritted her teeth and took off her hat.
Hong'er slowly untied the white silk and silk handkerchief, and said gloomily: "My face was burned to save his wife, and my eyes were also blinded by rushing into the fire for him, do you say, will he take revenge?" Kong Ming put his hands on both sides of her shoulders, "Hong'er, you have suffered." โ
Saying that, he stroked Hong'er's face with his hand, he cried, Hong'er heard it clearly, and he cried for her, "Kong Ming, now you know, I won't go back with you, you take good care of your sister." Hong'er turned around and walked out, but Kong Ming hugged her dead from behind.
"No, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have let you go, I thought you would have ...... with you" Kong Ming didn't continue, Hong'er also knew that he didn't trust her anymore, so why did she want to stay, Hong'er said helplessly, "You are not a god, how can you know everything, there is no trust between you and me, why should I stay." โ
"No, it's not that I don't trust you, I thought you were kidnapped by him."
Hong'er has changed, she has become cold, her body exudes a cold air like ice and snow, she has been playing with fire, and one day, she will set herself on fire,
She didn't want Kong Ming to see her now, he would definitely try his best to not let her go, Hong'er asked, "Will you still want me to go back with you?" โ
"Yes, you must go back with me, I won't let you suffer anymore." Kong Ming said very firmly, and Hong'er also agreed, so he still had to be polite,
"But when I see the new man laughing, I hear the old man crying. I'm going back, sister, what will she do? Kong Ming only thought of Hong'er, and Hong'er thought of Huang Yueying, this obstacle, "Yueying, she also wants you to go back." Hong'er sneered again, "Which wife would allow her husband to have a second woman?" โ
"Yueying, she's different." Hong'er stared at Kong Ming suspiciously, a man would say that another woman was good in front of a woman, how could Hong'er be happy?
"However, I'm just an ordinary person, I care, I'm narrow-minded, will you take Huang Yueying off?" Definitely not, but Hong'er just wanted to ask, so that she could die, Kong Ming was silent, he didn't know what to say, in the past, he was talking about Confucianism in Jiangdong, but now he ......
"Kong Ming, don't worry, I won't embarrass you, I will go back with you, but I still have things to deal with here, I can't just leave, when you want to return to China, I will come back before that."
Lingqi must not let Sang Hua be the prime minister, this person is too ambitious, and he must be eradicated as soon as possible, Ji Luan will be the new prime minister of Lingqi country.
"Hong'er, I'll wait for you." Kong Ming hugged Hong'er and said, "Prime Minister, the military rations sent by the envoys of the Lingdi Kingdom have all been arranged. โ
The man said as he walked, entered the barracks, saw them, and stood outside the camp tent, Kong Ming let go of Hong'er, Hong'er also sat on the chair, Kong Ming waved his hand, "Come in, report." โ
"No."
"Prime Minister, the envoys of the Lingqi Kingdom have sent a lot of military rations, and all arrangements have been made." Kong Ming waved his hand again, and the man went out, what a big pomp, no need to speak.
Hong'er asked first: "Kong Ming, is the military ration enough?" โ
"Why did you send me rations?" Kong Ming was a little puzzled, it seems that ordinary people send some gold, silver and jewelry, Yizhou, the road has the danger of Jinjiang, and the land is even the hero of the Sword Pavilion. It was returned 208 miles and more than 30,000 miles. It was not easy to transport the rations back.
"Guess." Two words, so simple, Hong'er then asked: "Why, don't you leave me for a meal before leaving?" After a busy morning, Hong'er came without eating anything, and now her stomach is growling, "Okay, come here, set up a banquet to entertain the envoys of Lingdi." โ
"Then I'll thank Prime Minister Zhuge first." Hong'er said with a smile and shouted outside, "Luan, come in." โ
"Prime Minister." Ji Luan saluted Hong'er, and Hong'er said, "Go, take me out for a walk." โ
Seems she's in a good mood, "Yes." Ji Luan said.
