Chapter 90: Long time no see
"Sister, I'm back." I was drinking my tongue when I hurried in from outside on the seventh day of the first month.
In a few years, she has grown a lot taller, I sent her to Emei to learn kung fu for three years, this girl didn't learn anything else, only learned light skills, I often let her go out to check the news.
I nodded, put the cup down, she was not polite, sat directly opposite, poured a cup of warm tea from my cup, drank it, wiped her mouth and said, "Sister, I secretly went to the camp outside the city to see it on the seventh day of the first month, guess who is the leader of the troops?" ”
She originally wanted to sell a pass, but when she saw that I just indifferently took another teacup and poured another cup of tea for herself, she felt bored, and when she said, "In the handsome tent outside the city, I sat to see the handsome imperial brother who came to Xiqi a few years ago, Xuanyuan Chen." ”
Xuanyuan Chen......
Why did he come, the 80,000 soldiers and horses still stationed outside the city, did he also want to fish in the troubled waters?
I raised my hand and took a sip of half a sip of tea.
I am now the grandson of General Su Huo, the so-called cold lips and teeth, I have enjoyed the glory of Su Qianmu, that is, the Ning'an county lord of Xiqi.
If he wants to take advantage of the fire to rob and destroy my home......
I winked my eyes and placed the cup heavily on the table.
In that case, I wouldn't sit still.
"Sister, it's not strange for you to say, people have maps and other things in their tents, and he actually put this in his tent, sister, take a look." As she spoke, she pulled out a paper scroll out of nowhere.
I took it and opened it slowly, and it turned out to be ......
This turned out to be a pair of ink and blue.
The painting shows a young girl, with short hair at full forehead, a bud at the back of her head, a few steps, wearing a smoky brocade dress and a bright red cloak......
This is what I looked like when I was a child.
In the white place of the page, there is a small poem: red lips, clever rouge, whose lady gathers the smoke, red cloak, brocade cloak, pointed chin and pretty cheeks, light moon pear blossoms, clear dew and bright moon, cool autumn night.
This is the poem that Xuanyuan Chen made in front of the public when he begged for Princess Heshuo for his brother.
Looking at this paper scroll, although the paper surface is not wrinkled, the side roll is slightly old, but it looks like it has been hanging.
Light animation axis, a piece of paper floated out of the side scroll, I picked it up and looked at it, and several big characters on it were strong through the back of the paper: Lord Ning'an, long time no see.
I winked my eyes and clutched the piece of paper in my hand.
Yes, my eyeliner is all over Shikoku, but it is not planted in the Middle Continent.
Last year, when I was a little more fledgling, I managed to get rid of the few secret guards he left behind. However, being able to quietly bring 80,000 people to Xiqi shows that this person has good skills, and it is not difficult to guess that I will send someone to investigate in the account......
"Miss, miss." Lu Zhu ran in from the outside and hurriedly said, "Miss, the palace has sent someone to deliver the message, Your Majesty Miss Xuan has come to see you, and the eunuch who announced the decree has arrived at the door." ”
This kung fu is even lower, what does Your Majesty declare me to do?
Confused, I got up and changed my clothes, and asked Green Bead to pick two pearl hairpins and insert them, which put on a brocade canopy and entered the palace with the eunuchs.
"See Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, and all blessings will be upon you." I bowed my head.
The old emperor smiled and said, "Where are there so many courtesies, Ning An, come here and sit with me." The other side patted the stool next to me, walked over and sat down, and glanced sideways from the corner of his eye.
I hadn't seen him for a few days, and the old emperor had become more and more haggard, his sideburns were already gray, there were many wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, and his eyes were slightly cloudy.
Call him long live every day, who can really live long live.
I bowed my head slightly, my eyebrows lowered.
The old emperor sighed lightly and said, "I just received a report from the frontier that your grandfather Su Huo's old injuries have not healed, and he has contracted the wind and cold, and he has been bedridden for several days. ”
I didn't answer, and sure enough, I heard him say again, "The Western Qi army has lost too many battles, and even lost cities, and now it urgently needs a victory to boost the morale of the army." ”
I immediately said, "Your Majesty, maybe we have won the battle by now, but the news has not yet reached Shengjing." ”
The old emperor was happy, "Ning An, you really give Lone relief, hearing you say this, Lonely's mood is actually a little better." ”
I bowed my head, "Ning An is terrified, I can't go to the frontier, and share your Majesty's worries in the battle field." ”
The old emperor smiled slightly, and with a wave of his hand, a eunuch brought tea, first brought it to His Majesty, and then put it on the table for me. He took a sip, nodded and said, "Aged Pu'er, it tastes good, Ning'an, you can taste it." ”
I took the two orders, took a sip of the teacup, and before the tea was swallowed, I heard the old emperor ask, "Ning An, when did you have contact with the royal brother of Zhonglu?" ”
I was taken aback, but I said indifferently, "What does Your Majesty mean, Ning An doesn't understand." ”
The old emperor didn't speak, but looked at me, as if to see something in my eyes.
Half-ringing, he smiled slightly, took out a fold book from the side and handed it over, "Ning An, look at this." ”
It is a capital offense to touch His Majesty's fold without authorization, but he showed it to me, and it was different, and I took it generously and found that the handwriting on the fold was slightly familiar. Distinguish carefully, it turned out to be Xuanyuan Chen's.
I was puzzled, opened it to see, the first half of this excerpt is all scenes, and there are always a few pages of words, but the most important thing is in the last few sentences.
The excerpt reads: The lord of Ning'an, who is gifted, beautiful and dignified, intends to marry him as a concubine, and hopes that His Majesty will agree.
Want to marry?
I'm very puzzled, what does this Xuanyuan Chen mean, marry me? Are you kidding!
The old emperor had been observing my face from the side, and when he saw the surprise on my face, he seemed to be relieved, and said, "Ning An, this is clearly written on this invitation, this royal brother of the Emperor of the Middle Continent wants to marry you back as a concubine, and he called you over because he wants to ask you, what do you mean?" ”
Well, of course I don't agree.
However, the old emperor called me over, showed me the excerpts, and asked me about it, so naturally he had his plans.
The situation in Xiqi is in front of me, but I can disagree, but the Chinese army can appear outside the city silently, and it can also appear silently in Shengjing.
But if I agree, Xi Qi's face will be lost, and 80,000 elite soldiers are outside the city, just to marry a county lord, which can be regarded as being bullied to the doorstep.
Today's Xiqi is not as good as before, he can't be hard, naturally it's not good to say anything, the old emperor asked me to see this, maybe he wanted me to figure out a foolproof strategy.
I thought about it for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, Ning An doesn't want to marry, but Ning An wants to go and meet that person." ”
"Oh?" The old emperor's eyes lit up, "Why?" ”
I smiled slightly, and said, "Don't say it, Ning An is still a month away from Ji Lu, the law of Xiqi, women are not up to Lu, men are not up to the crown, all classes can talk about marriage, Ning An is the lord of the imperial gift, so he naturally broke the rules." ”
His Majesty was silent, and I continued, "The 80,000 elite soldiers in the crowd suddenly appeared, I'm afraid it's not as simple as trying to ask for a kiss, Ning An, if you want to go to find out the situation in person, it's better to make some plans as soon as possible." ”
Emperor Xiqi was silent, picked up the teacup and drank it lightly, then nodded, "Okay, Lone will prepare the carriage and horse for you for the end, you can go." ”
"Gao Desheng." His Majesty called.
"The minions are here." The eunuch hurriedly bowed over.
"Go and bring the princess to see the royal brother of the Emperor of the Middle Continent"
"Yes, the minion will go." The eunuch promised and went out in broken steps. After a while, he came in to report that the chariot was ready. I got up and saluted, and then went out with the eunuch to get on the chariot, and went out of the imperial city to fight my horse, and soon arrived in front of the tent of the Chinese army.
After a while, some soldiers ran out and beat the cowhide drum a few times with a drum hammer, and two soldiers ran out from behind their tents, spreading a red blanket from the door of a large tent to the chariot, and suddenly a dozen or twenty soldiers wearing simple armor rushed out on both sides, and stood next to the red carpet in two groups.
"The county lord, please." The people came to salute with fists, the eunuch was busy setting up a stool under the car, and I got off the car with a cloak and stood on the red carpet.
"Please!" The man bowed and said.
I nodded, walked down the red carpet to the tent, and as soon as I lifted the curtain, I saw the back of a man in Jane armor.
He was much taller and his shoulders were much wider, but I still knew that back.
Xuanyuan Chen......
"Lord Anning, I haven't seen you for a long time." He turned around and smiled.
