Chapter 69: Entering Beijing Like Rain
"If it's raining, the capital is ahead." General Xiao rode on his horse and said excitedly to Xiao Ruyu in the car. Along the way, people were sleepy and tired, and they were particularly guilty. Ruyu is a girl's family, and they are different from a few bad old men, don't bump and break.
If his subordinates knew General Xiao's thoughts, they would probably stick out their tongues collectively, a girl like Miss Xiao is much more powerful than these bad old men, and whoever is bumpy will not be able to take Miss Xiao's turn.
"This is the capital." Xiao Ruyu lifted the curtain and looked at the tall city gate tower in front of him with a smile. It is worthy of being the capital of Great Qin, just looking at the magnificent city gate and the tall and majestic city wall, you can feel its extraordinary momentum and inner heritage.
Not to mention the majestic and neat guards guarding the city gate, and the noisy crowds coming and going in and out of the city, which makes people deeply understand the difference and prosperity of a national capital.
"Father-in-law, shall we go in now?" Xiao Ruyu turned his head and asked General Xiao. This city gate should be the east gate, I don't know if General Xiao needs to enter the city or not, you know, in ancient times, generals must have the emperor's permission to enter Beijing.
"There is a warrant from the emperor for my father, we can go in directly." General Xiao shook the reins and urged the horses forward. The men guarding the gates stopped them, and a strong man with a black face stepped forward to ask for an inspection. Just now I watched everyone go in and out, Xiao Ruyu still felt strange, the prince had an accident, how could it be so easy to get in and out of the capital, now it seems that she did not observe carefully enough, she must strictly check when she enters, and it is very easy to get out.
General Xiao showed his warrant, and the black-faced man was obviously stunned for a moment, and hurriedly saluted: "The subordinate East Gate Guard Changlu has seen the general. After the salute, he also wanted to gather his subordinates to come over to salute, but was stopped by General Xiao.
Everyone entered the city with a respectful smile on the road, and Xiao Ruyu smiled and teased his father-in-law: "Father-in-law, are we considered to be someone in the capital who is easy to do?" ”
General Xiao smiled and nodded, "Of course, for my father, I am a second-class member of the emperor's own title, and in the future, this east city gate will be the place under my father's jurisdiction, of course they have to stammer." ”
"Then in the future, as your daughter, can I be a fox and a tiger, and use my power to bully others?" Xiao Ruyu grinned as she looked around.
"Absolutely. As long as you are willing, no matter whether you are reasonable or not, you can rest assured that you can bully others. Support you for the Father. After General Xiao finished speaking, he laughed first. Along the way, he has a general understanding of this girl, as long as she doesn't mess with her, she usually won't get angry. If you provoke her, this girl's methods are terrifying. She is very different from the ladies he has seen, and she is also different from the daughters of many military generals. She was more straightforward than those girls, but more cynical.
She is more courageous and responsible than everyone else, but she is a little cautious, and she is a little cautious. Whoever wants to provoke her, especially if she touches her bottom line, she will resolutely retaliate and go back, and she will not be merciful.
Her martial arts surprised him, and her background was even more mysterious, and sometimes he was very curious about what kind of excellent parents could give birth to such a tricky and atmospheric, eccentric and gentle girl.
Knowing that she had secrets, General Xiao never asked. Although he was curious, he knew that this girl would not raise a knife to her back, and she would definitely face it with her if she was really in trouble, and that was enough.
They are very happy in Ming Chun, since the master recognized Miss Xiao as a daughter, it is simply too easy to serve. In the past, he was serious and serious, rarely smiled, and everyone was a little trembling and cautious in the face of him. But since I had Miss Xiao, I smiled more than a year this day, and my body was much better, and the main thing was that the master hadn't lost his temper for a long time, what if he felt too good.
"Master, let's go to Ruyi Restaurant first, I heard Ming Dong say, that is our place, the wine and food are very good, and we can also stay. The emperor hasn't given the mansion yet, so we can only go there for a while. Ding Fang said. Ming Dong was also General Xiao's subordinate, but this time he didn't come along. In addition to Ming Chun, there are also Ming Xia, Ming Qiu and Ming Dong, all three of whom are war orphans and were adopted by General Xiao more than ten years ago. Of course, several people are already sensible, and after being adopted, they have learned some skills to better contribute to General Xiao. Ming Dong is good at management, and helps General Xiao deal with some private property, and the means are good. This Ruyi Restaurant was opened by him, nominally his, but in fact, he was working for General Xiao.
Ming Xia is good at intelligence gathering, whether it is on the rivers and lakes or in the court, he can inquire, and his subordinates are also good at inquiring about intelligence, but unfortunately the number is small, and it is not profit-oriented, otherwise it is not worse than what is the star building.
Ming Qiu is strong in martial arts and has become General Xiao's secret guard. This time, General Xiao was stabbed on the road, mainly because he was seriously injured on the front line and did not follow, and now his injuries are almost healed, and he should follow soon.
These three bright things, General Xiao did not hide from Xiao Ruyu. In his opinion, his Xiao Zhongjing's daughter must not just make a good-looking vase, and her ability cannot be buried. He even deliberately guided her to participate in many things, so that if something happened to him in the future, she would be better able to protect herself.
"My father-in-law still has an estate in the capital?" Xiao Ruyu asked strangely. I didn't expect this father-in-law who seems to be upright and strict, in addition to being a daughter, he also has some business acumen, which is good.
"Of course, the father is not alone now, and he still has a daughter to raise, if he doesn't have any property, how can he prepare a dowry for you?" Xiao Zhongjing glanced at his daughter, does her daughter look so stupid for her father, although she has been in the frontier for a long time, she can't help but understand the affairs of the capital, otherwise she doesn't know how she died.
"For my father, I still have a few Zhuangzi and some fields, and when the time comes, I will have a mansion to deal with for you." Xiao Zhongjing saw Xiao Ruyu's face collapse, and snorted lightly, "I'm just your daughter, don't you even want to take care of your father's inheritance?" ”
"Alas, father-in-law, spare me. I still have something to do. Thinking that she was about to see Han Yixuan, the corners of Xiao Ruyu's mouth turned up consciously, and her smile became sweeter and sweeter. She wants to find Han Yixuan and develop her own career. If I help my father-in-law, I'm afraid I won't have time for myself.
"What's the matter?" Seeing Xiao Ruyu's extremely sweet smile, General Xiao sounded the alarm bell in his heart, this girl never said why she came to the capital along the way, who did she want to go to? Which bastard actually wanted to kidnap the daughter he had just recognized, Xiao Zhongjing secretly gritted his teeth, ready to give that bastard a good look.
"Nothing." Xiao Ruyu stuck out her tongue and quickly lowered the curtain. Can't tell the truth to her father-in-law, she doesn't know how Han Yixuan is now, whether he will change his mind, and what Yiwang thinks, everything is unclear, she doesn't want her father-in-law to worry, and she doesn't want him to be embarrassed.
Seeing Xiao Ruyu retract into the carriage, Xiao Zhongjing shook his head helplessly. It seems that this girl still treats herself as an outsider, or sooner or later, she will know sooner or later.
When I came to Ruyi Restaurant, I was waiting there for a long time tomorrow winter. arranged a few people into the best room in the backyard, and then reported the situation in the capital to the master alone.
He told Xiao Zhongjing that the General's Mansion had been built, and as long as the emperor gave it, he could go in and live at any time. The mansion is the specification of the second product, covering a very large area, and the location is also good, only a few steps away from Chang'an Street, the most prosperous street in the capital. Around the General's Mansion, there are many high-ranking officials' mansions, including prime ministers, imperial historians, officials and ministers, and so on.
The situation in the capital is unknown, and the crown prince was indeed assassinated, but no one knows how he was injured. Many of the people who showed him injuries were cut by the emperor, and the rest were probably either the prince's henchmen or the emperor's people, so they couldn't be heard at all. Someone once kidnapped one of the doctors and wanted to ask for news, but the man committed suicide by swallowing poison, and the kidnapper was raided and destroyed. Everyone stopped thinking about tying people.
Now there are two possibilities, first, the prince is indeed seriously injured, maybe when he will be seriously injured, the emperor is too sad, but the country has no prince, the society is unstable, the emperor loves and likes the prince again, for the sake of the Great Qin Jiangshan, the prince must be chosen separately.
Second, the crown prince was not injured, or the injury was very light, but the prince and the emperor set a trap for the princes to drill, as long as anyone moved, the emperor and the prince would definitely take the lead in cleaning him up.
If it is really the first case, the princes have appeared on the stage one after another, and they have used their own means for the position of the crown prince. The emperor is old, if he doesn't stand in line, no matter who ascends the throne in the future, there will be no good fruit to eat.
If it is the second case, the princes are unlucky. Just one step away from the highest throne, who is not tempted? If you can't play the emperor and the prince, the end will be very miserable. These courtiers, it is not easy to stand in line at this time, if the line is too obvious, the emperor and the prince will clean them up in the future, it is not as simple as crushing an ant to death.
Being analyzed by Ming Dong like this, Xiao Zhongjing couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. It felt like it was much more thrilling than killing enemies on the battlefield now, and he didn't like it very much. He doesn't have to stand in line, he has always been the king's person, but now except for King Ping, the king of England is the most unlikely to ascend to the throne of the crown prince. To survive in this kind of crack, he must be careful every step of the way.
Now he is not alone, he still has a daughter, and he must not let Ruyu fall into danger. Xiao Zhongjing began to seriously think about how to let his daughter live well in this crack.
The King of England also wants to remind him that the King of England has already failed once, and if something goes wrong this time, it will be doomed. They must be very careful not to make the slightest mistake.
