Chapter 23 Zhao Wantong
Back then, when Yasukuni was only sitting on a small corner, they were always bullied and oppressed by those stronger countries, especially the neighboring Phoenix country. Later, under the strong suppression of the Phoenix State, Yasukuni was forced to hand over the prince Si Youmu as a hostage in exchange for a pure land.
It's just that Huang Guo never expected that he would raise a wolf under his nose like this.
Si Youmu's eyes narrowed slightly, staring straight at the pair of men and women in front of him.
The man is Zhao Mingyi, who he is very familiar with. Ten years ago, in that section of the bridge, an informant planted in Dachu came to report that Dachu suddenly changed hands, and now the inland is in a panic, and it is suitable for attacking.
At the beginning, the Great Chu State was indeed defeated. And Yasukuni has also developed very well in other aspects, of course, all thanks to the "adoption" of the Phoenix country.
But when he was in the seventh year of Tongxian, he suffered a big loss in the first battle of the frontier. That person is Zhao Mingyi, who is only sixteen years old, and his face is as calm as he is now.
To be honest, Si Youmu admires him very much.
Female, as far as Si Youmu knows, is Zhao Mingyi's sister-in-law. said that she was the daughter of the adjutant general, and she was brought back on the battlefield because the adjutant general died.
The woman was dressed in a light blue dress, and half of her face was completely covered by Zhao Mingyi's generous back from the perspective of Si Youmu.
But the knuckled hands attracted Si Youmu's attention. He remembered that one year there was a severe drought on the Yasukuni border and there was no food for several months.
Seeing the suffering of the people, he had no choice but to discuss with the remaining troops and decided to go to the Great Chu State to gamble.
It was very successful at the beginning, but it was still very unfortunate to catch up with Zhao Mingyi. At that time, Si Youmu was just a few dozen meters behind the lotus pond, and he never expected that it would be a woman who would stop his plan and she was very young.
The woman sat in a small boat, with Xiao attached to her waist, and a clear sound. After she and Zhao Mingyi left, Si Youmu went to check on the brothers' injuries.
But near the passing woman's boat, I found a sparrow squatting there with a piece of white paper in its mouth. As soon as he saw himself walking over, he immediately flew up excitedly and stuffed the white paper into his hand.
Si Youmu was stunned, and immediately opened the paper.
It reads, "A hundred meters back, there is a thatched hut." It's full of fresh white lotus seeds, so if you don't dislike it, take it. ”
Thinking about it, Si Youmu smiled at the corner of his mouth. When I looked up, I happened to see a strange soft light in Zhao Mingyi's eyes.
Si Youmu has fought with Zhao Mingyi secretly several times, and thinks that he is a genius who fights, but he must not understand the relationship between children and daughters when he is away all the year round. But I never expected it to be so interesting.
Brother and sister? Si Youmu suddenly brightened his eyes.
It's just that in the whole walk, it is a praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches behind.
Standing a little ahead, Emperor Xuanming, who witnessed all this, also took these into his eyes. Whether it is Zhao Mingyi and Zhao Wantong's every move, or Si Youmu's laughter intentionally or unintentionally.
More than ten years ago, he was still a prince. Now he is a monarch, looking down on the earth.
So since he has tasted the sweetness, then he Emperor Xuanming never wants to be replaced. Recently, the incident of the Sun family has caused great turmoil in the government. It should not have been a great feast to receive envoys from all over the world at such a time.
But now he also needs a buffer time to choose the person who will replace the Sun family. This person must be used for himself. Second, the last envoy had already resigned once because he had just ascended to the throne and the situation was undecided.
And now that Yasukuni is getting stronger and stronger, it is not good for him to announce that Emperor Ming will not receive him.
However, this scene knocked another good idea in his heart. The corners of his mouth smiled, waving his sleeves. Swing back to the palace.
Yun Zicheng was also following, feeling that the back of the woman in blue was very familiar, and wanted to step forward to find out what was going on, but he didn't want to be sarcastically said by Yun Xi on the side: "You also want to join in the fun?" ”
He snorted, pulled up the leash and continued walking.
"Don't get in trouble."
Seeing Yunxi like this, Yunzi City was already soft. When Yun Xi said this, he shook his head and pulled up the horse rope and followed.
As night approached, the palace was busy.
Because of the presence of the envoys of various countries, almost all the ministers and their children were present today.
The men are all handsome and delicate, and the women are all wearing heavy makeup. At this time, Dai Fangrong was looking at herself in red makeup in the mirror with a dull face, unable to lift any spirits.
The maids and servants beside him all looked anxious and discussed privately.
"Miss, what's going on?"
"Oh, apart from General Zhao, who else can make our young lady so unhappy!"
"Well, I heard that it seems that when he was leaving the venue for today's banquet, General Zhao grabbed his sister-in-law Xiao Xue and held it in his arms."
"It's no wonder that Miss is hot."
As he spoke, they all changed their smiling expressions and served in front of Dai Fangrong.
"Miss......"
I wanted to comfort Dai Fangrong a few words, but who expected Dai Fangrong to speak first.
"Is this pretty?" Dai Fangrong smiled pleasantly.
Everyone was skeptical, but they all nodded yes.
"It's naturally good-looking, what does our young lady look good at!"
"Hey, yes." Dai Fangrong looked at the person in the mirror over and over again, and her smile gradually calmed down.
Today's scene suddenly appeared in front of me again. Those gentle eyes were something Dai Fangrong had never seen. It's not just her, it's all the people of the Great Chu Kingdom who have never seen it.
Suddenly, Dai Fangrong swallowed his saliva and smiled at the maids beside him.
"Let's go."
Several of the maids were sweating profusely and worried. But he replied with a cheerful face.
"Yes."
Because they have served Dai Fangrong since childhood, they fully know that her temperament is that of a young lady. Every time you are unhappy, you have to comfort you before and after the saddle. There are almost the entire Dai Mansion in the area, and Master Dai is old and has a daughter, and he has no other children except Dai Fangrong and has no intention of accepting concubines. Therefore, the people of the entire Bianjing know that Master Dai loves his daughter like his life.
Now, Dai Fangrong is out. It made several maids panic in their hearts. Never before!!
In the carriage, Dai Fangrong was not as lively or squeamish as usual.
Now she just sits silently, doesn't look around, and doesn't ask if her clothes look good.
Dai Fangrong lowered her eyes, remembering the tall figure in her heart. She didn't remember why she liked Zhao Mingyi. But what kind of liking doesn't matter to her at all, the important thing is that she is afraid that this liking can only be hidden in her heart forever.
Dai Fangrong suddenly frowned, his fists clenched, and his fingers were blue.
So, Xiao Xue, I will definitely embarrass you in front of everyone.
I thought about it so much, but I didn't expect that the biggest enemy was not Sun Shiyun, but this horizontal you.
Chapter 92: The Banquet (2)
Zhao Wantong sat alone by the lake, holding the cheeks of the big drum. Boredom, the moonlight shallow on the lotus with a faint silver glow.
She suddenly lost her mind and remembered. Wasn't the palace the same place where he used to live, although it was renovated before the fire. But the whole thing hasn't changed, it's still something familiar to her.
Zhao Wantong shook his head and smiled, with a soft light under his eyes. Sooner or later, she would take it back, and now in her mind it was the same thing in front of her as another familiar place.
That year, she escaped from a fire in a water stream. Ran to the frontier and was arrested by the people of the Red Country with a few other children and taken out of the territory of Dachu. But it wasn't far away, and the night was getting dark. The Chiguo people can only take a short rest outside depending on the situation.
Zhao Wantong didn't like to learn the embroidery etiquette of his daughter's family since he was a child, and this time he went to the water stream to gain a lot of knowledge. Soon he untied the hemp rope in his hand, and then immediately helped the other children untie it.
There are not many people in the Red Country, maybe they think that Zhao Wantong's gang is just some milky children who have not dried up, so they didn't send anyone to supervise them. Therefore, Zhao Wantong easily took them out of the camp in the Red Country.
Intuitively, with the help of the faint moonlight. A group of children scurry around the forest, but Zhao Wantong soon realizes that something is wrong. All the way to the east, the light is very dim, and occasionally passes through many trees. It was pitch black in front of him, and there would always be a few girls who were scared to scream, and Zhao Wantong could catch some wind in the half-tall bushes from time to time.
She suddenly said vigilantly: "Stop, someone." ”
As soon as they heard that someone was there, all the children immediately leaned towards Zhao Wantong's side, holding their breath and not daring to breathe.
In the middle of the sound, the moonlight somehow brightened in front of me. A teenager in a red satin suit also quietly walked up to the children from the bushes.
He smiled and said, "Run, why don't you run?" ”
As he spoke, the grass under him was also shaking. In less time, the group of Red Kingdom men who had captured them during the day surrounded them again.
Zhao Wantong stood in front of the children with one hand, his eyebrows furrowed, and he was about to answer. Suddenly, in the woods behind them, there was another fire.
It is a group of people in blue and purple costumes, and they are people from the Great Chu State.
Zhao Wantong's face suddenly showed joy, and he immediately wanted to shout but his hair was pulled suddenly. One fell backwards, followed by a sharp pain and dizziness.
At that time, Zhao Wantong was still too young. I really don't remember why she fell, but one thing she was sure of was that it was all because of that bastard boy from the Red Country.
With his under-bian appearance in his mind, Zhao Wantong shook his head and smiled again. Why do you think of the events of that time when you look at these night scenes? Probably because the Imperial Palace in Akakuni is somewhat similar to this place.
Alas, she let out a long sigh. I got up and thought it would be better to go back to the dinner, after all, the envoys this time were all relatives of the emperor. There are so many ministers, almost the whole family is here. Then she, Zhao Wantong, naturally can't embarrass Zhao Mingyi.
After tidying up his clothes, he took two steps forward and just arrived at the city gate. I saw a touch of bright red, and my whole body was stunned and wanted to go back.
was stopped by the latter.
"Yo, isn't this Sister Xiao Xue?" The man was dressed in bright red, and had just gotten out of the carriage when he met the deceased.
"Why, aren't you going to dinner?"
Zhao Wantong took a deep breath and turned around and said, "Of course I went." It's Miss Dai, why is it so late? ”
Dai Fangrong was also smiling at the moment, but she couldn't hide her joy and anger when she saw Zhao Wantong in her heart.
This is gratifying, it is so coincidental that as soon as she enters the door, she will meet her, saving her Dai Fangrong from looking for it. And the anger is that you just let General Zhao and you look at each other for a while this afternoon, and now you are still cheeky to come to this dinner with him.
What a shame! Dai Fangrong chattered but didn't show anything, probably because she felt that she was being played around by Xiao Xue's face before, if it weren't for Sun Shiyun and Zhao Sun's incident, maybe she wouldn't know it now. The character of Xiao Xue is so terrifying.
Zhao Wantong can receive it very well, although the other party is really expressionless although the radio wave from Dai Fangrong's eyes is malicient.
So, she said, "Let's go in quickly, lest we be late." ”
Dai Fangrong smiled again, and said, "Don't worry, all the big people who came today are big shots." And there are countless female dependents of each family, I want to invite Miss Xiao to you on a curve, okay? ”
Shocked? Zhao Wantong's heart tightened, knowing that this Dai Fangrong was looking for trouble.
The face is a royal song of the nobility, and only some powerful families with a certain background can learn it. It can be said that most of the dancers who learn this dance have a very high status. never looks at the family background to teach people to the song, but relies on talent and intelligence.
Zhao Wantong bowed his head again and said: "This banquet celebrated by the whole country, presumably most of the ladies of the family hope to show their best scene, so Miss Dai will not make fun of Xiao Xue." Miss Dai must be glamorous and win the championship in one fell swoop. ”
