Chapter Twenty-Three: The Marriage of the County Lord
"Shan'er, why are you asking about this, can't it be, Lord Lingzun has never caught the murderer?" Ouyang Lan was surprised, and the title of Huang Zishan changed one after another.
Lin Wan'er shook her head, in all the evidence she obtained, whether it was the mountain farm or the hot spring villa, the kidnappers were afraid of the same group of people, but why was the modus operandi so different, Luoxiang County was only half a month away from Kyoto, and the county lord Ouyang was surrounded by master guards, why did he fall into his trap, so thinking about it, the other party's ability and power are incomparable to ordinary thieves, could it be that it was done by someone who covered the sky with one hand? But what is this motive?
"Shan'er?" Ouyang Lan saw Lin Yun'er staying in the distance, thinking that she was frightened, so she quickly stretched out her hands and shook her body.
Lin Yun'er was sober and gave Ouyang Lan an extremely comfortable smile, "I'm fine, I just remembered an incident a few months ago." ”
"What?"
When Ouyang Lan heard this, she was shocked, she clenched Lin Yun'er's hands excitedly, and said, "Shan'er, you saved my life again!" ”
Lin Yun'er really didn't think of this, but after listening to Ouyang Lan's words, she thought that it was Huang Zishan who led Huang Yu to save Ouyang Lan who was almost kidnapped by human traffickers when she was a child. ”
She didn't plan to go into details, but she was curious about Huang Yu's expression when she saw the portrait of the person she had drawn, and for a moment, she saw a trace of fear in Huang Yu's eyes.
"County Lord, did the people who tied Yingge admit who did it?" Lin Yun'er came to this topic again, she didn't want to be asked by Ouyang Lan why she painted a portrait.
Ouyang Lan pondered, "Somehow, those people actually committed suicide when Lord Ling Zun arrived, and I vaguely heard Lord Ling Zun whisper, as if he had been caught in a Gu. ”
"Gu poison?" Lin Yun'er was also very surprised, "I heard that the people of the Western Shu Kingdom, which was wiped out ten years ago, used Gu without permission. Lin Yun'er only understood and guessed seven or eight points in the words of Jade and Ziwei, but in fact, she didn't know what was going on.
"Ten years ago, my father and today's youngest royal brother, a town north and a Pingxi, both of them went out at the same time and triumphed, it can be described as a good story, my father said, they are also recorded in the history books today." Ouyang Lan's face was full of pride, "It's just that now the north is already peaceful, and my father doesn't need to lead the troops, so he handed over the military power in his hands in the early years, and opened a government office in the north to mix up an idle Zhongshan king." However, the royal brother of Na Pingxi is different. ”
Ouyang Lan said mysteriously, "It is said that this imperial brother of Pingxi was only sixteen years old when he set out on the expedition, a few years younger than today, and after the triumph, he was overjoyed today, and named him the king of Pingxi, and built a huge mansion for him in Kyoto!" And the guards in the palace are also the most in all the noble houses in Kyoto. You can see the trust and grace of today. ”
Lin Yun'er smiled lightly, now that the Quartet is peaceful, of course the ruler has all his bows to hide, but the emperor's attitude towards this King of Pingxi does not seem to be as good as that of King Zhongshan who is far away in the north. The emperor's family, most of them.
Ouyang Lan saw the light smile on Lin Yun'er's face, and her smile deepened, "You also think that people are very good today, right?" It's just that when I entered the palace a few days ago, I saw that I was very sick today, and Wu Niangniang didn't leave her body for half a step. ”
"What people gain will lose something, there is a give-and-give to gain, the county lord does not need to worry too much, there is a whole imperial hospital to take care of it today, there will be no big problem."
"You're right." Ouyang Lan said, "However, I also took a look at the envoy of the Xiling Kingdom, and he really looked too strange, with golden hair, blue eyes, and a nose so pointed, like a strange beast in the Classic of Mountains and Seas that I saw when I was a child." As she spoke, Ouyang Lan also gestured with her hand to show the size and length of her nose.
Blue-eyed blonde hair, isn't this a typical Western look, I'm afraid Ouyang Lan has never seen a person with such a look, if it is placed in the future generations, I'm afraid that he will be a handsome man and a beautiful woman sought after by everyone.
"What does the county lord like?"
Lin Yun'er also asked casually, but when she saw that the big county lord's face turned red, she actually twisted it, "The person I like must be a hero, I don't expect to be proficient in the Four Books and Five Classics, and it is also good to have a good martial arts, my mother ~ said that my husband must choose a man who is manly, and those who only know how to bury their heads in reading all day long are very short-lived." I don't like it either. ”
This Ouyang Lan is really a person with an unabashed temperament, although her understanding of the opposite sex is a little paranoid, but she is extremely assertive, looking at her appearance, she will definitely put her idea into practice, somehow, Lin Yun'er actually admires her courage, she also has her own ideas, she is trying to find a way to please the current situation, looking for freedom in her heart, it turns out, in essence, there is no difference between the two of them, but Ouyang Lan is just one step ahead.
Ouyang Lan drank another cup of tea, trying her best to suppress the flush on her face, and she didn't pay attention to Lin Yun'er's reaction at this time, and waited until she eased up for a moment before she said, "Actually, I was going to run away from marriage." ”
As soon as these words came out, the air seemed to be still, and Lin Yun'er also guessed that her character would definitely do such a thing, but Ouyang Lan did not hide it from her at all, Ouyang Lan continued, "Exchanging clothes with Yingge is not all my whim, my father and today have chosen a family affair for me, and he is the nephew of Dong Taifu in the current dynasty, Dong Taifu is the most obedient old stubborn in Taixue, and his nephew is not much better, and I heard that the man is full of economy but has no power to restrain the chicken, I don't want to marry him, but my father's life is difficult, I'm reluctant to get on the road. ”
"Who knew that several escapes were unsuccessful, that time I was captive, I thought I could find a chance to escape, but I was rescued by Lord Lingzun." Ouyang Lan sighed lightly, "It seems that I still can't escape, why don't I go back to the present day, how about coming to the Buddha Hall to cultivate with you?" ”
Lin Yun'er was surprised, she thought that Ouyang Lan was one step ahead of her, but she never thought that she would not be able to escape the invisible but solid cage, looking at her face that was still full of gloom, Lin Yun'er couldn't help but want to step forward and give her a hug, just the moment she stretched out her hand, she turned to think about it, afraid that it was not in accordance with the rules of hugging, so she changed it to hold her hand.
Marriage?
I see.
This was the opportunity, it turned out that those captives wanted a newlywed virgin.
"Perhaps, Mrs. Dong's nephew is not that kind of person?" Lin Yun'er secretly suppressed the doubts in her heart and the joy of discovering the opportunity, and comforted her.
Ouyang Lan disagreed, "Mrs. Dong's nephew's name is Dong Mao, the word Xiuyong, you see, Xiuyong, the meaning is to practice bravery, I think he himself is a thin little monkey." ”
"Poof", Lin Yun'er found that getting along with Ouyang Lan was very pleasant no matter what, and when she said this, some of the dark clouds just now completely dissipated, just like the sun here, shining brightly.
It's just that if Dong Langjun heard Ouyang Lan describe him like this, what would he think in his heart, Ouyang Lan's guess was also a little correct, Dong Mao was indeed a thin little monkey.
"Don't talk about him, I feel depressed when I say it." Ouyang Lan pursed her mouth and tilted her head to the side. But he happened to be staring at the bamboo screen. "I can't imagine that Shan'er is so ingenious, this screen is so elegant."
"That's the pattern I drew, and I was tired of Shen Langjun from Jifu Temple in the mountains to help make it." Lin Yun'er didn't hide it, just because she felt that Dong Mao was also an interesting person, if she could really become a couple with Ouyang Lan, it would also be an excellent relationship, but if it didn't work, it would be good to attract them to meet each other and avoid some unnecessary misunderstandings.
Ouyang Lan got up and gently touched the screen, "I didn't expect that there is such a skillful Lang Jun in the world." ”
"Shen Langjun is a lay disciple of Master Yunkong of Jifu Temple, and I also met by chance." Lin Yuner said.
Ouyang Lan withdrew his hand, sat down where he was, and said, "Surname Shen?" There is only one family surnamed Shen in Kyoto, and he is probably related to today's Shen Shufei. ”
Lin Yun'er said that she was heartless, but she didn't want to know so much about the current situation, which made her a little impressed by Ouyang Lan. "I have no way of knowing this, but I think his demeanor is extremely noble, but I don't know why he came to Jifu Temple to cultivate."
"This is easy to do, Gai Ming'er, I asked the people under my command to inquire, and there is nothing to hide from me so far." Ouyang Lan said proudly, dare to love this little county lord of the northern land is actually a gossip physique, if there are many martial arts masters in today's society, she is probably no less than Bai Xiaosheng in the rivers and lakes.
Lin Yun'er suddenly remembered something and said, "Since I can't hide anything from you, can you know the current Nineteen Emperor Uncles?" ”
Ouyang Lan was slightly surprised, "You actually know him?" He is the youngest imperial uncle today, it is also bizarre, when today's nineteen imperial uncles were born, the Taizu Emperor who was still the crown prince at the same time was happy with Lin'er, and now the nineteenth imperial uncle can be said to be born in the same year and the same day, and today is the third son of the Taizu Emperor, the Taizu Emperor has a total of thirty sons, who died early, and when the Taizu Emperor ascended the throne, there were ten sons left under his knees. At this time, the current nineteen emperor uncles, the nineteen emperor brothers of Emperor Taizu, disappeared. There has been no whereabouts so far, but because he is extremely handsome and has a pair of blue eyes, it is rumored that he has become an immortal. ”
"From the rumors, it can be seen that this prince of Lian Ze is extremely handsome, at least much better than the envoys of Xiling Kingdom, who are also blue-eyed." Ouyang Lan paused and continued, "Until he ascends the throne today, the son of Emperor Taizu, there are few brothers left, most of them died in wars, and natural disasters, I am afraid that there is only King Pingxi alive, so he will be so good to King Pingxi today." ”
This is the secret of changing the dynasty, although it is just a few words, it implies ~ countless flesh and bones, Lin Yuner also guessed the cruelty of the royal family, just like the change of the Xuanwu Gate of the Tang Dynasty read in later generations, but she never thought that it would be so cruel, in order to achieve the goal, a person actually killed his siblings cleanly, leaving one of the youngest, and he was also placed under house arrest.
It's just such a secret thing, a junior little county lord knows so clearly, which has to make her reassess the power of the King of Zhongshan, I am afraid that this King of Zhongshan should be a pig and eat the horn of a tiger, the simpler it looks on the surface, the more complicated it is.
So why did the king of Zhongshan let his pearl in his palm come all the way to Kyoto to choose a son-in-law? Could it be that he is suspicious of the King of Zhongshan today, so he let Ouyang Lan be in Kyoto as a proton? So what does the King of Zhongshan mean?
