Chapter 172: Skilled in Soliciting Customers
Mo Li sighed: "After the countryside is gone, the flesh and blood flow away from the road. Since ancient times, the throne of emperors has been built on the accumulated bones of the people. ”
"Li'er, I shouldn't have told you this." Murong Chu looked a little distressed when she looked sad, the little girl was still young, she shouldn't let this kind of thing disturb her.
"Don't mind, General, I'm just sighing." Mo Li hooked her lips and smiled, she didn't want this kind of thing to affect the mood of the two of them shopping, "I'm hungry, let's find a place to eat!" ”
"Okay, I'll let Eleven book a private room in advance and take you to eat a roast leg of lamb." Murong Chu wanted to hold her hand, but as soon as he touched it, he remembered what Mo Li had said when he was in the post house, and withdrew his hand like an electric shock, and turned his back behind him very unnaturally.
Although it was only for a moment, Mo Li still accurately captured a red cloud behind his ears, and also thought of the stalk about the broken sleeve, and couldn't help but burst out laughing, and followed him to the restaurant happily.
Mo Li was very happy to eat a meal, and the roast leg of lamb that was charred on the outside and tender on the inside completely made up for the lack of fun at yesterday's dinner.
But when she walked out of the restaurant, her bright mood was suddenly not beautiful again.
A luxurious carriage was parked at the door of the restaurant, the curtain was raised, and the maid was helped down by Helian Yimei, who was about to hook up with her man.
Her outfit today is a little more plain than last night's palace banquet, but it is only relatively speaking, the red dress has been changed to apricot red, and the style is slightly simpler, but the pair of mountains is still about to come out.
Mo Li couldn't help but secretly slander herself, this shameless woman, for fear that others would not know that she was turbulent, and she was showing her little capital all the time.
Helian Rumei also saw Murong Chu who had just come out of the restaurant, her face was happy, and she learned the etiquette of the Great Zhou Dynasty: "General Murong, you and I are really fateful, you can meet you just when you come out for a meal." ”
Murong Chu's face suddenly became gloomy, but his footsteps did not stop for a moment, as if he didn't see the person standing in front of him.
Helian Rumei took a step to the side and stretched out his hand to stop him: "General Murong, it's better to meet by chance and have a meal together." ”
Mo Li, who was following behind Murong Chu, really couldn't stand it anymore, and stepped forward to block in front of Murong Chu: "This restaurant is really interesting, the guy is actually a woman!" ”
"What do you mean?" Helian seems to be like Mei for some reason.
"Isn't it a guy's job to solicit guests? Isn't Mademoiselle? Mo Li looked her up and down, focusing on the waves and glancing a few more times, "I see that the young lady is quite skilled in soliciting customers!" ”
"Presumptuous!" The maid beside Helian Rumei shouted angrily, "This is the royal sister of King Jin, the eldest princess of our Daliang Kingdom, how can you allow a villain like you to peep!" ”
"Do you need to be prying eyes when you put yourself there?" Mo Li blinked innocently.
The maid was furious, raised her hand and slashed at Mo Li, but before her hand fell, a gust of wind struck, and I saw Murong Chu wave the sleeves of her robe, and the maid snorted, and a trace of blood overflowed from the corner of her lips.
"This is just a warning, and if you don't know what to do, Hugh blames General Ben for being polite!" Murong Chu exuded cold air all around him, and his cold eyes softened when he looked at Mo Li, and he glanced at her and said, "Don't leave yet!" ”
"Okay!" Mo Li responded happily and followed Murong Chu away, but in her heart, she was thinking that sooner or later she would find an opportunity to avenge Helian Qimei's sword.
Helian Rumei stood in front of the restaurant with her eyebrows twisted and looked at the two distant backs in a daze, the maid wiped the blood on the corner of her mouth, and said hatefully: "Eldest Princess, they don't take you seriously, especially that kid, who dares to openly despise the eldest princess." ”
"Shut up!" Helian Xiangmei scolded, she felt that the person seemed to be very familiar, but for a while she couldn't remember where she had seen it, suddenly a scene flashed in her mind, she rolled her eyes thoughtfully, "Could it be her?" ”
"Celestia, do you know that kid?" The maid asked.
"Well, I think I've seen it." Helian Rumei said as he entered the restaurant.
In front of the window of a private room on the second floor, a man in a cyan robe took in everything downstairs.
After Helian Rumei came in, the man turned around and said with a smile of unknown meaning: "Murong Chu really doesn't have any affection for the eldest princess, the princess should be dead this time, right?" ”
"What is this little setback, only such an unruly man can be worthy of me." Helian Rumei sat down at the table and said nonchalantly, "I'm going to make up for this man!" ”
"The courage of the eldest princess is really admirable." The man in the green robe raised the teacup in his hand, "I wish the princess early success." ”
Helian Yimei waved his hand impatiently: "Don't talk nonsense, if there is anything, hurry up!" ”
……
The enthronement ceremony of Helian Tug was held as scheduled, and Xiangcheng and even the entire Xiliang Kingdom were immersed in the joy of the new king's enthronement.
King Jin officially canonized the harem and civil and military officials, this kind of scene is the first time in the history of the Hu people, and the Hu tribe that has been scattered like sand has finally completed the unification in the hands of Helian Tuge.
After the ceremony, King Jin and the queen and hundreds of civil and military officials went to the altar, and the masked shaman sang and danced on the side of the altar.
Mo Li, who was standing in the middle of the envoys, couldn't understand what they were singing, but those movements seemed to her as if they were dancing the gods.
"What's wrong?" Murong Chu, who was standing beside her, saw her shoulders constantly swaying and asked.
"It's nothing, I just think they're dancing too funny." Mo Li held back a smile and quickly held back his internal injuries.
Murong Chu pulled her and quietly retreated to the back of the crowd, if someone saw her expression, I was afraid that it would cause unnecessary trouble.
In addition to the princes and nobles who came to participate in the sacrifice today, there were also many people from Xiangcheng, and the two of them retreated directly to the rear of the envoys before they stood still again and watched the performance on the altar.
When the great shaman on the altar finished muttering, all the officials and commoners present, as long as they were Hu people, all knelt on the ground.
Mo Li inadvertently turned around and glanced at the people who were kneeling on the ground, and suddenly found that one of the people in the prostrate crowd was bowing down, quietly moving forward under the cover of their envoys.
The messy long hair blocked most of the man's face, and he couldn't see his face clearly, but from the figure, Mo Li still felt a little familiar.
Judging from the trajectory of the man's movement, it was obvious that he was heading towards the altar, and the moment he flashed through the crowd, Mo Li saw that he felt something out of his tattered cuffs, although it was still some distance, she still saw that it was a short knife.
Mo Li frowned slightly, what was he going to do? Is it impossible to assassinate in front of this public? What a foolish act, for fear that before he could get close to the altar, he would be hacked to death by the guards.
