Chapter Seventy-Six: Stalling for Time
In the northern part of the winter world, it always gets dark quickly, but now, the sky has turned yellow, and all sounds have become faint or even disappeared in the silent and vast snow.
But there seem to be exceptions.
The camp tent of Zhou Jue, the king of Qi, was very noisy. Rong Zhe carried the shoulder of "Ji Ying" and walked out of the tent leisurely. As he walked, he shouted back, "Didn't I just drink two more glasses of mare's milk wine?" Are you like that? Dignified King Qi, what a little family! - Ji Ying, why don't you say a word? ”
"Ji Ying" still lowered his head, supported Rong Zhe with his shoulders, and did not speak.
"You're a wilted man! In fact, you hate Zhou Jue more than me, but if you don't say it, you don't know what bad water you are holding in your heart! ”
A wine jug was thrown out of the tent and smashed on the back of the noisy Rong Zhe. Rong Zhe turned around and scolded, but was dragged back by "Ji Ying".
There were a lot of Beidi soldiers around, all of them cast mocking glances, and then they went about their jobs.
Rong Zhe was still drunkenly shouting in the direction of the tent: "Zhou Jue, are you panicking?" I'll take Ji Ying to hunt rabbits for you, how about I roast a rabbit with you later? ”
A wine glass was thrown out of the tent.
Rong Zhe talked for a long time, took "Ji Ying", and walked in the direction of the horse circle.
At this moment, Lin Zejun walked over. He seemed to notice something unusual, and took a few steps. Rong Zhe and Zhou Jue, who was dressed as Ji Ying, both trembled.
Who knew that halfway through, Li Yuhan intercepted Lin Zejun. He blocked the two people who were pretending to be drunk behind him, and said to Lin Zejun: "Lord Lin, you are flustered, what happened?" ”
Of course, Lin Zejun couldn't ignore Li Yuhan's existence, he said: "It's nothing, it's just that I just want to say hello when I see Ji Ying." ”
"I remember she said she wanted to borrow books from you, did she borrow them?"
"Borrowed."
"That's just right," Li Yuhan stepped forward and grabbed Lin Zejun's arm, and said with great interest, "What do you have to say to the two drunkards, why don't we go play chess." I brought a pair of Go made of mutton fat jade and black jade, and we will kill two games, otherwise there will be no time for a bonfire dinner party in a while. ”
Even though Lin Zejun hesitated in his heart, he didn't have the face of Li Yuhan's prince, so he had to agree and play chess under Li Yuhan's confinement.
Ji Ying, who was nervously paying attention to the situation outside through the crack in the window, unconsciously clenched his hands into fists and clasped them in his heart. She looked at Li Yuhan's dashing back and said, "Second brother, I hope we can go back alive together." ”
The "drunk" Zhou Jue and Rong Zhe stepped on their horses, divided into two ways, and rushed to their respective destinations, which will also achieve their own glory.
It was already dark, and the cold wind swept the snow and ice, hitting every inch of the land.
The bonfire dinner prepared by Kunli Khan is about to begin, but the protagonist does not show up. Kun Li was about to send someone to invite Zhou Jue and Ji Ying, but saw Li Yuhan swaggering over.
Li Yuhan bowed to Kun Li and said, "I just came out of the tent of His Royal Highness King Qi. I'm sorry, my Royal Highness is young and vigorous, and he fights with Rong Zhe and Ji Ying for a lot of alcohol, but your country is very drunk, and the three of them are drunk. His Royal Highness is fine, but it is a little hot, and he is sleeping in the tent, and I am afraid that the banquet will not be in time; Rong Zhe and Ji Ying were greedy for fun, and they had to ride a horse to hunt while they were drunk, and they haven't come back yet. I have already sent someone to look for it. ”
Although Kunli secretly despised the pitiful amount of alcohol of the three teenagers, he showed concern on his face, and said, "It's really dangerous that you haven't come back so late. Not to mention that they can't stand the cold, if they encounter wolves, they will be in trouble. ”
Li Yuhan seemed extremely worried: "Really? That's a big deal, why don't I send a few more people? ”
"Let Ben Khan send some men," said Kun Li generously, "and we Beidi people know this place best." ”
Li Yuhan hurriedly thanked him politely: "The two children are messing around, and they don't dare to bother Beidi's brothers." If we still can't find anyone after another hour, we will come to the khan's rescue. ”
Kunli glanced up at the sky, and there was no color in the dark sky. He said: "Ben Khan is afraid that it will snow for a while, and they will not know the road at night, and it will be dangerous to be trapped in the snow." ”
Li Yuhan smiled and said, "It's also good to let those two children have a long memory." ”
Kun Li thought in his heart, Li Yuhan was worthy of being a gentleman from the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he didn't understand any common sense. If you are really trapped in the snow and get lost, even if you don't meet the wolves, you have to freeze to death, is it as simple as "long memory"? However, anyway, they are not from Beidi, and that Ji Ying still made him so unable to get off the stage, and he deserved to freeze to death.
But in an hour's time, snow really fell from the sky. The snowflakes flew, bigger and bigger, more and more, and soon covered the two strings of horseshoe prints left on the wilderness.
The bonfire banquet was postponed again and again because of the delay of the three dignitaries of the Great Zhou. Kun Li noticed that Lin Zejun frequently glanced at him, and he was even more suspicious. He said to Li Yuhan: "Lord Ji and Young Master Rong still haven't found it?" ”
"The guards said it was snowing, and they couldn't find any trace of their comings and goings, so they didn't find it." Li Yuhan's face was a little serious.
Kun Li thought that Li Yuhan was really worried and regretful, so he explained: "After all, they are all pillars of the imperial court, and they will be safe and sound, Li Gongzi can rest assured - it is His Royal Highness the King of Qi, how is he?" ”
"I'm still sleeping, and I can't wake up today."
Kun Li took a sip of hot wine, stood up, and said, "Why don't we go and see His Royal Highness King Qi." Drunk and injured, His Royal Highness has a noble status, and it would not be good if he got sick here. ”
"It's just mare's milk wine, it should be fine."
Kun Li waved his hand: "It's always better to see." ”
Li Yuhan was not persuaded too much, so he followed Kun Li in the direction of King Qi's tent.
When Kunli lifted the thick curtain, he saw such a scene: bottles and cans, cups and bowls, and some broken food scattered all over the ground, in short, it was a mess. The air was filled with the aroma of mare's milk wine. On the bed lay a man, face facing inward, wrapped in a thick quilt. From the corners of the clothes exposed outside the quilt and the purple and gold crown, it can be judged that this is Zhou Jue, the king of Qi.
Kunli shouted softly twice, but the other party did not answer.
Li Yuhan lowered his voice and persuaded: "King Qi is shallow in alcohol but has a great temper, he will be fine after a sleep, let's go out." ”
Kun Li also found it boring, and came out with Li Yuhan.
Ji Ying's plan for "Li Dai Taozhuang" was discovered in the early morning of the next day. At that time, in order to show his concern, Kun Li took his sister Tuo Buhua to invite Zhou Jue in person, but saw Ji Ying wrapped in the quilt and shivering from the cold.
Ji Ying's night was very difficult. Beidi's guards were afraid of disturbing Zhou Jue's rest, so no one dared to come in, not even a person to add to the fire. Li Yuhan was afraid that there were spies in the mission, so he asked Dong Jiu not to let anyone near this tent. Ji Ying was solid and froze for a night.
But Ji Ying still wanted to delay time, she was worried that if something happened to the two people who escaped, it would be over if they were caught by the Beidi people. She curled up under the covers, quietly listening to all the small sounds outside.
Kun Li still found Ji Ying who had been disguised all night, and his face can be imagined. He grabbed Ji Ying by the collar, dragged her to the ground, and asked angrily, "Why are you here?" What about Zhou Jue? ”
"Yesterday I left." Ji Ying replied calmly.
"You've been playing tricks on me? You let Zhou Jue go? ”
"Yes, and Rong Zhen's nephew, Rong Zhe."
Even if Kun Li didn't know who Rong Zhe was, he knew who Rong Zhen was. Let these two people go, there must be some conspiracy: "What do you want to do?" ”
"We just know that the khan has no sincerity in the peace talks, so he has to prepare early."
Kun didn't know how to punish Ji Ying, but he didn't expect his sister to do it.
Tuo Buhua picked up the leather whip and threw a whip towards Ji Ying's body. She has been in the army all the year round, her martial arts are superb, and her strength is also great, and this whip is enough to make the thin Ji Ying kneel on the ground and can't get up. Ji Ying had a half-foot-long whip mark on her back, and blood flowed down her clothes.
Ji Ying lay on the ground, and the sudden whipping made her twitch for a moment, and her momentum was a lot lower, but she still stiffened. This is provoking the desire to conquer Takubu. Tuo didn't spend a lot of time rounding the leather whip and hit Ji Ying hard at him. At first, Ji Ying still used her arms to protect her body, but after a few whips, she was powerless to protect it, so she had to hug her bloodstained body tightly, roll back, and retreat straight to the door. Takubuhua lifted a foot and kicked Ji Ying in the abdomen, kicking her out.
Ji Ying, who was rolling outside, suddenly felt a hot pain in her abdomen, her body shrunk into a ball, and she coughed up a mouthful of blood, even though her whole body was soaked in snow, her body was still hot suddenly.
