Chapter 240: The Blue Moon Envoy Enters Beijing
The Blue Moon Kingdom envoy team stopped and stopped all the way, and finally arrived in the capital before Li Yiyan ascended the throne, and before he entered the city gate, the streets were already crowded with people watching the excitement, and the Imperial Forest Army was afraid of danger, so he sent his personal guard Ji Ming to lead the Royal Forest Army to maintain order.
The carriage didn't want to be sealed all around like the Central Plains, but there was only a Qingluan gauze tent around it, and the gauze tent was lifted, and the princess of the Blue Moon Kingdom had a soft face and looked at everyone with a light smile. The complexion was surrounded by a white silk scarf, and when the breeze floated gently, a corner of the red face was occasionally revealed, which caused everyone to exclaim. Dressed boldly and revealingly, Qianqianyu's hands are weak and boneless, exuding a charming appearance.
As if deliberately welcoming the onlookers of the people, the carriage drove very slowly. Ji Ming frowned, and simply walked with the horse on his own, and he simply dozed off on the horse. Anyway, everyone's eyes are not on him, so even if he is lazy, no one will pay attention.
In order to show the importance he attaches to the Blue Moon Country, Li Yiyan can spare an hour to prepare to receive the envoys of the Blue Moon Country, who would have thought that an hour had passed and he had not come, and an hour and a half had passed, and he still did not come.
"All Aiqing disperse, since the envoy of the Blue Moon Country likes to be slow, then let's take our time."
"What is slowness?" A minister said in confusion.
"Slow is, we are busy with ours, and we will receive them when we are done."
Everyone burst into laughter and said in unison: "The prince is wise." ”
The ministers retreated once, and Sui Qing worried: "Is it really okay?" ”
"What does it matter?" Li Yiyan raised his eyebrows and said. Although the Blue Moon Country is only a small country, it is an eventful time now, and everything has to be planned in advance.
"Send a message to Mo Li, let him recover from his injuries and return to Beijing as soon as possible, don't indulge in gentle township all day long." The latter words were a bit gnashing of teeth, he hadn't been able to see Ning Yunxiao for three days, damn it, blame Jing Xueqing, if it weren't for his time bomb, he would have approached Ning Yunxiao to the palace a long time ago, where would she be allowed to leave him for three days.
Sui Qing covered her mouth and chuckled, noncommittal, and retreated. No matter how steady and capable the prince is, after all, he is still a young man, and he is still strong, so it is difficult for him.
"Master." The companion walked in and said busily, "There is bad news." ”
"Say."
"There are rumors circulating in various countries that our dynasty lacks generals, and now we must rely on peace to ensure national security. I've traced the source of the rumors, but I can't find them. The northern Yan country is about to move, and the army looks like it is being mobilized. ”
Li Yiyan paced back and forth in the room, who released this rumor, you don't have to think about it to know, except for Jing Xueqing, she will not be the second choice. As soon as the Blue Moon Envoy entered Beijing, there were such rumors, at this time, did he want to let his companion be transferred to the defense line of Beiyan? In this way, there will be a loophole in the intelligence network around him, and if the Blue Moon Envoy does something small in the capital at that time, as long as he has one negligence, he may be in danger.
I have to say that this trick is indeed clever, but does he underestimate himself too much? Is there really no one under your own command?
"Someone, the purpose." The eunuchs hurriedly got busy and performed their duties.
"Feng Moli official was reinstated, he was the general, and Wang Ming was appointed deputy general, and he was immediately stationed in Beiyan."
Mo Li is the god of war, in the past, he shocked the world, even if he is injured and recuperating now, as long as he regains the position of general, Beiyan will not dare to act rashly, like other countries, deterrence, this is the way of the emperor.
Not long after, Mo Li just received a letter from Li Yiyan to return to the palace as soon as possible, and later, the holy decree of the official reinstatement appeared.
After waiting for the crowd to push down, Mo Li looked at the letter and holy decree in his hand with a dark face, and wanted to tear them to pieces immediately. This bastard couple, they are tender and sweet, why don't you want to think about your good brother, I'm still in dire straits, you still have to come over and intervene, what the hell are you doing, I don't know if my eldest son Mo is chasing his wife, if you don't help me chase my wife, forget it, and make a trick behind your back, and now you still let me sell your life, why do you have to do it......
The more I thought about it, the more indignant I became.
Shangguan Haitang pushed the door and came in, and saw Mo Li jumping and jumping in place, his face was dark. Puzzled frowning, puzzled: "What's wrong?" ”
Mo Li was in the atmosphere, with nowhere to vent, and when he heard someone ask, he directly crackled and said a lot, and even took out the matter of Chen Sesame and Rotten Grain. Shangguan Haitang didn't understand very well, but he still understood the main thing. Seeing the holy decree swaying like a rag in his hand, I don't know why I felt very happy, which made her so happy, and secretly covered her mouth and laughed.
The crisp laughter suddenly woke up Mo Li, who was immersed in the atmosphere, and when he came back to his senses, he saw the cheerful Shangguan Haitang who was laughing, and he looked away for a while.
"Idiot," Shangguan Haitang's face turned red when he saw it, and he turned his back embarrassedly, scolding, but it was more like a coquette: "What are you seeing, haven't you seen it?" ”
Mo Li shook his head honestly and said, "Well, I haven't seen it." It's the first time I've seen you smile so happily, it's so beautiful. ”
"You disciple, what nonsense are you talking about." Shangguan Haitang was suddenly ashamed, and he couldn't wait to find a corner to hide in.
"Hehe," Mo Li touched his nose and smirked: "Begonia, the prince wants me to go back to Beijing." ”
Shangguan Haitang lowered his gaze, dissipated his shame, and said softly: "En." "Are you going back? Although I know that this is a matter of time or time, but I am still a little reluctant, although both parties have tacitly understood that they have not said anything about their feelings, but they have been said to be natural together, and I once thought that if we can continue like this, it is also a good choice.
However, what didn't happen happened after all, and once you break that subtlety, everything will disappear. She could see that Mo Li had affection for her, but she didn't know why he didn't want to say it, whether he had any concerns or plans, didn't he say it, would he wait for himself to say it? If you refuse, you are afraid that you will not even be able to see each other again in the future.
If it weren't for Ning Yunxiao, maybe he really wouldn't have said it in any way, and there was still a sense of reason.
"Begonia, I have something I want to tell you." , a hint of embarrassment appeared on Mo Li's face.
Shangguan Haitang shook his head slightly and said, "Okay." "She knew what she was expecting and what she was afraid of. But it's not her own style after all, she doesn't want to go on like this, her brother and Xiyue have already gone back, presumably her mother already knows, if her mother knows, her daughter will definitely be angry if she doesn't do things so decisively.
"I'm going back to Beijing." Mo Li was nervous and didn't know where to start.
"Yes."
"Can you come back to Beijing with me?" Mo Li took a deep breath, closed his eyes and held back his psychological words in one breath: "I want to take you back to Beijing to ask the prince to marry and be my wife." Although I am not good-looking, have a bad temper, and have a non-meticulous personality, I will be careless and make you angry. But I am very single-minded, I will not mess with flowers, nor will I be unclean, I will do my best to be good to you, so that you can live a happy and happy life. ”
Mo Li, who had his eyes closed, didn't see the tears left on Shangguan Haitang's cheeks when he spoke.
"Begonia, I really like you, I already liked you when I didn't know you were a girl, at that time I thought I was a broken sleeve, afraid that you would hate me and despise me. Later, when I learned that you were a girl, I couldn't help myself with joy, because I was afraid that I would be excited and scare you, so I would stay away from you. I'm afraid you don't like people like me who aren't delicate enough, so I've been hesitant to tell you about my feelings for you. But now, I don't want to be patient anymore, I like you...... No, I love you. I swear to the sky that I only love you alone in this life, so, Begonia, can you go back to Beijing with me? ”
Mo Li, who couldn't hear Begonias speak for a long time, was uneasy in her heart, and after enduring it for a long time, she still couldn't hear any movement, and quietly pulled out a thin slit in her eyes, and when she saw Shangguan Haitang with tears on her face, she was so frightened that she wiped her tears with her sleeves, and said helplessly: "Don't cry, don't cry, don't say it if you don't like me, you don't want me to mention it in the future, don't cry, I feel distressed when you cry." The wound hurts, but when you cry, it hurts me even more. ”
Shangguan Haitang snorted and laughed, and gave him an infinitely charming glance and said, "What does it matter if you feel distressed and your wounds hurt." ”
Mo Li saw that Shangguan Haitang didn't look like he was angry, and suddenly felt that there was a play, so he pulled up Haitang's hand and covered his chest, covering the wound and heart at the same time: "The wound is in your fingertips, the heart is in the palm of your hand, all of them are held by you with one hand, of course it hurts, two at the same time."
"When did you become so talkative?"
"I've always been so good at talking, but I've never had the chance to talk to you like that."
Shangguan Haitang smiled, the smile with tears was particularly charming, and it was distressing, Mo Li restrained the stubbornness of the ruffian, and looked at the woman in his arms affectionately.
Shangguan Haitang rubbed Mo Li's bandaged wound with his fingertips, and said lightly: "If the sword goes down two points that night, you won't be able to live." ”
"In order to save you," Mo Li said with a smile: "I don't have time to think about the consequences at all, my body has reflexively made the right choice for me." ”
Shangguan Haitang looked at him very seriously, Mo Li's eyes were firm and serious, and there was no hint of joking.
"Are you serious?"
"When have you ever seen me joking?" Mo Li asked rhetorically.
"Brother Mo." Shangguan Haitang let out a sigh of relief and hugged Mo Li.
Mo Li was slightly stunned, and hurriedly hugged the woman in her arms, such a reaction, did you agree?
"Come back to Beijing with me?" Mo Li hesitated and asked.
"Yes." Shangguan Haitang nodded slightly, he couldn't rest assured that his injuries were not all healed.
"Great," Mo Li exclaimed, "I'll find the prince to marry when I go back." ”
"Well, that's not going to work." Shangguan Haitang hurriedly stopped her.
"Why?"
Shangguan Haitang smiled: "I won't run again, what are you doing in such a hurry." ”
"What if you run away, where I will look for you, I don't know where your house is."
Shangguan Haitang glanced at him angrily, and said, "You still know that I have a family, my parents are still alive, and without their permission, how can I marry at will." ”
Mo Li patted his head and immediately regretted it: "Look at me, I'm in a hurry, I'll send someone to propose marriage, forget it, it's better for me to propose marriage in person." ”
Mo Li stood up and paced back and forth.
"What should I prepare for a bride price...... What to do, I'm a little nervous? He said.
