037 County Lord
After several days of running around, everyone finally entered the second largest town in Dongyao.
The county Cheng looked at the passage document in Chu Ye's hand, and glanced at Chu Ye curiously, but was glared back fiercely by Sima Jin.
Chu Ye couldn't help laughing, and asked the county Cheng to arrange them into the post station in the city.
The county man hurriedly agreed, and led the team around most of the town, on the way there was a drizzle in the sky, and the entire Nantang was covered with thin veil and flying glass. In the city, the Tongting is built with jade, and the corridor is beautiful, and the five colors are dazzling.
And in the post house, the corridor waist is back, a bend of green water is like a green Luo jade belt around the forest, and the shadow of the rockery is strange. The rain and dew blow the very slender green bamboo, gather into beads, slide down along the elegant and unique leaf tail, the crystal broken line is generally scattered and beaten, intermittent, clear and more like a song.
Several small courtesy officials felt that this post house was indeed elegant, which indirectly reflected Dongyao's hospitality. Even Sima Jin couldn't help but comment.
Chu Ye only felt that a big mountain pressed down on her heart, and she couldn't breathe.
The county man on the side was still chattering: "This post house has been standing in our Nantang City for a hundred years. The outside is magnificent, the inside is fine and elegant, which can be regarded as a must in our Nantang! ”
"Just look at the pair of stone lions in front of the door, you can see it!" Sima Jin changed his words and shook his head, "However, this plaque is new, and compared with the mottling on the bamboo in front of the door, I'm afraid it doesn't match." ”
"Of course, this place wasn't a post house five years ago."
Chu Ye looked at the county Cheng with a smile, the county Cheng was a little nervous by her staring, and subconsciously raised his arm to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead.
Sima Jin looked at Chu Ye and saw that although she was smiling, her eyes were cold. Looking at the county man trembling and wiping his sweat again, he couldn't help frowning.
"Xiao Yezi, how can you say this?"
Chu Ye stared at the county and said coldly: "If I'm not mistaken, this was the Chu family's private residence." ”
After speaking, he didn't look at the county Cheng's reaction, picked up the hem of his clothes, and strode into the threshold.
Sima Jin glanced at the county man whose legs were trembling strangely, and then looked at Chu Ye's departing back.
Chu Ye walked in by himself, walked through the stone road courtyard, the verdant corridor, and walked straight to the room.
If the court is full, the locust tree is Chen, and the camphor planted by the father back then has been covered with pavilions, and the growth is very good.
The whole house was very quiet, the courtyard was too big, and the people who lived in it were scattered everywhere, and she only saw the backs of a few subordinates from a distance, and none of them met each other.
In the room, it is still the same furnishings, everything is clean and clean. She walked to the wall, where her brother's three-foot sword hung from it, still cold in its sheath. On the sandalwood table, there was a washed Rouhan, and under the ruler of Yuzhen pressed a slightly yellowed rice paper with a slight yellow, the handwriting on it was Luan Xiang Fengzhu, and the book said: "The golden jade seat is empty, thank you for the moonlight...... "I am afraid that Fang wrote two lines, and someone brought the officers and soldiers of the Criminal Department.
A long sigh.
There seemed to be the sound of the horn blowing heaven and earth of the vast company camp in the ears, the flags outside the gate hunted in the wind, and the drums swept the entire sky with the killing and felling. Jin Ge Iron Horse, covered with pale hands.
Then a withered yellow and green leaf fell peacefully from the top of his head, the wind passed by, and Chu Ye turned around slowly.
"Little Leaf" he paused and repeated, "Little Leaf"
"But the song talks about madness, which cares about wind and rain and poverty!" Chu Ye walked forward, his voice scattered in the wind.
"I'm calling you," he said in a slightly deep voice, "Little Yezi, I've been looking for you for a long time." ”
Sima Jin strode forward and blocked Chu Ye's way.
"Little Yezi, what's wrong with you."
Chu Ye returned: "Not much. ”
The fragrance of osmanthus on the tree is faint and penetrates into the heart and spleen, diluting the blood, and smelling is refreshing. This year's osmanthus blooms particularly early, early to hear passers-by say that Dongyao has been full of mountains and wilderness, silver osmanthus like snow, red red fire.
Chu Ye raised his hand and broke a branch from the top of his head, and a few flowers were growing on the branch. She played with her fingertips for a moment, and the petals were stained with bright blood, and it was difficult to distinguish the true color for a while.
"Xiao Yezi," Sima Jin snatched the flower branch from her hand and looked carefully at the wound on her finger, "You shouldn't do this to yourself." ”
"Should it or not be slush claws, stay in the destiny." Chu Ye closed his eyes, pulled his hand out of his hand, and said lazily.
Sima Jin was silent.
Chu Ye took a deep breath and piled up a smile on his face: "It's just emotional, it's the same surname Chu, and the Chu family who is confused by the pass is accused of collaborating with the enemy and treason, and they are all over the house; The Chu family in Dongyao was accused of secretly hiding banned books, and they also did not leave a living mouth. Isn't it my turn to be next? ”
Sima Jin frowned, grabbed Chu Ye and asked sharply, "Xiao Yezi, what are you afraid of!" ”
Suddenly, there was a whistle that broke through the air, and Chu Ye felt the wind behind him from far and near, sharp like a knife. Sima Jin switched positions with her with lightning speed. Immediately after that, he actually hit a tree directly and spat out a mouthful of blood with a "poof".
The world seemed to fall silent for a moment.
Chu Ye was startled, and immediately ran to Sima Jin's side, Sima Jin wiped the blood on his face, held on to the tree and breathed a sigh of relief, then slowly turned his body back, leaning against the tree and raising his eyes.
The man was not very old, and the strands of hair were coiled into a bun, and the jade hairpin was loosely hairpinned, and then a golden step was inserted, and the long beads trembled and hung down, swaying between the temples. Dressed in a blue emerald smoke shirt, a pleated skirt with scattered flowers, water mist and green grass, his back was upright in place, he was stiffly holding a long whip of a royal horse in his hand, looking at Chu Ye with straight eyes, his eyes were stunned.
"It turned out to be the pearl lord of Beiyi, but Sima Jin was disrespectful."
Sima Jin smiled and threw his hand towards the man.
Yan Ningzhi wrapped up the horsewhip and said in an arrogant tone: "Who should I be, it turned out to be the waste Seven Princes of the Western Jin Dynasty." Let me tell you first, this is the place of the county lord, and you are the first to trespass! ”
As soon as Chu Ye heard this, his eyes were fierce, and he shot straight towards Yan Ningzhi.
"Please also ask the county lord to be cautious, my Royal Highness the prince of the Western Jin Dynasty is not something that any small barbarian country can wantonly insult!"
Chu Ye's mind instantly flashed everything about Yan Ning Cream.
The daughter of the king of Beiyiping, she is deeply favored and coquettish since she was a child, but there is no news about her coming to the envoy this time.
I heard that Beiyi sent a young prime minister this time to punish corrupt officials and level the court. It took only one year to reunite the originally divided Beiyi, support a puppet emperor, and tilt the power of the government and the opposition!
Even the Beiyi folk's comments on him are one-sided - all positive!
In power to the point where he is, if no one is dissatisfied with him, then there is a problem.
There must be a demon when something goes wrong, but she had just been reborn at the time, and she really didn't have time to care about what happened to Beiyi, so she didn't take him to heart.
I didn't expect to meet here.
Chu Ye picked up Sima Jin and walked in front of Yan Ningzhi.
Yan Ningzhi was originally strong on the outside and dry in the middle, so he naturally knew that his little county lord was obviously not enough to see in front of the prince. It's just that looking at Chu Ye's face, he doesn't think he is a powerful person, and in order to take the lead, he will speak first with his identity as the county lord. But she didn't expect that Chu Ye would refute her!
"You!"
"County Lord, everyone is here to be a guest in Dongyao, in the post house, how to talk about the county lord's place. I will never give up on this matter, Chu Ye will definitely repair the book to your majesty, and tell the truth about this matter! ”
"Pearls will hurt the prince of your country if they are not careful, why should your envoy be so serious."
Behind Yan Ningzhi, a man dressed in sea green silk walked slowly. He wears white jade with stone orchid on his waist, and his long hair is tied with ebony, which is not very colorful, but he has a period of nobility of a superior person.
Chu Ye recognized him, the legendary prime minister of Beiyi, Dugu Xin!
"Prime Minister Dugu is wrong with this." Chu Ye looked directly at him without fear. Sima Jin helped her many times, and this time she was injured to protect her. If she can't even pack up a little Beiyi County Lord today, how can she help him become the Ninth Five-Year Plan!
"Chu Ye was ordered to take me to the Seventh Prince's envoy to Dongyao, so it is Chu Ye's duty to protect the Seventh Prince. Now that the Seventh Prince is injured, how can Chu Ye hide it and not report it. Since it is to be presented to His Majesty, it is necessary to explain the cause and effect clearly, how can this be more true? ”
Chu Ye's smile remained unchanged, but it did not reach the bottom of his eyes, and the words he said were also very tough.
Dugu Xin stopped and stood in front of Chu Ye.
"Your envoy must be ......"
"Prime Minister Dugu," Chu Ye interrupted him, "Chu Ye is just a little squire, not as powerful as Prime Minister. But I also know that this matter is not just a small fight. The lord of your country beat the prince of our dynasty first, and insulted the prince of my dynasty last. It's no longer the 'careless' that Prime Minister Dugu said. It is also Chu Ye's duty to write this matter, and he also asks the prime minister to forgive him. ”
"I think the prince of your country is also weak, otherwise how could he not even stand the whip of the pearl."
Dugu Xin didn't give an inch, and said earnestly.
"The crescent moon golden whip is an artifact in the world, think about it, even if you are a master of the rivers and lakes, you can't stand a few hits."
Is the whip in Yan Ning's hand an ordinary horse whip, can't she really see it when Chu Ye can't see it?
Sima Jin knew Chu Ye's intention to defend it, but he also knew that it was not of great benefit to a person like Shang Duguxin at this time. Prepare to come forward and be a peacemaker: "Small." Hiss.... ”
Sima Jin weakly wanted to say something, but Chu Ye secretly pressed his wound, he gasped in pain, but his heart was unusually warm.
"If the Prime Minister has no other advice, Chu Ye will leave first."
As he spoke, Chu Ye hugged Sima Jin and prepared to leave.
Dugu Xin stretched out his hand to stop them, and said to Chu Ye in a slightly softened tone: "Please also ask your envoy to stay, of course this official knows the power of the crescent golden whip, and it is indeed an unintentional mistake to hurt the prince." The official brought some good gold sore medicine with him on this trip, and after a while, he ordered someone to send it to your envoy. ”
"Is it because I am poor in the Western Jin Dynasty that I can't even make gold sore medicine?"
Chu Ye showed a sarcastic smile, and she glanced back at Yan Ningyan, who was looking at the three of them blankly.
"Why should your envoy be so aggressive, of course this official didn't mean that. Our trip also brought my Beiyi Zhibao 'Yangyuan Yuzhi Dan' noble envoy, if you don't dislike it, I can also give your envoy a few grains, right to express guilt. ”
"Guilty?" Chu Ye smiled, "If the Prime Minister is really guilty, why haven't I heard an apology until now?" ”
