Volume 2 The Second Drum Watch: The Spring of the Teaching Workshop is Deep, and the Wind and the Moon are Strong Chapter 214 The Engagement Contract in Danger (II)
Luqiu Zhongqing's soldiers were already about to rush up, and Li Ying had to wave his hand: "Stop!" Turning to Lu Qiu Zhongqing, he said, "Forgive me for not being able to obey my fate." As he spoke, he shouted to the soldiers he brought, "Protect Du Yuhou." Make no mistake! ”
The soldiers behind him were immediately divided into two camps, one team was the soldiers and horses brought by Luqiu Zhongqing, and the other team was Li Ying's soldiers and horses. Lu Qiu Zhongqing didn't look good. According to the previous understanding, even if Li Ying will not send troops to help, he will never fight against each other. Now that this move is anti-transfer, Lu Qiu Zhongqing really didn't expect it. Lu Qiu Zhongqing looked at Li Ying and sneered: "Lord Li has to think clearly. Today's opportunity is missed, and there is no way back. ”
How can Li Ying think of any opportunity at this moment, Li Yue'e and Zhao Guangyi are cooked with rice, how can he be allowed to think about the righteousness of the world. Li Yinghui looked at Lu Qiu Zhongqing and said, "I've already thought about it." Offended. The words fell, and with a gesture, the soldiers under him had already run to the front of Zhao Guangyi and started a fight with Luqiu Zhongqing's soldiers.
Luqiu Zhongqing has come to this point at this moment, and he has to be hard-headed, commanding the soldiers to start a battle while hiding from the battle situation and finding an inconspicuous place, taking advantage of the unpreparedness. With a few soldiers with escorts, he killed a bloody way out and fled back to Luzhou overnight.
Li Ying wanted to send someone to chase after him, but was stopped by Zhao Guangyi: "Since victory or defeat is a foregone conclusion, don't waste your troops to pursue the remnants of the defeated generals." Reserve the military strength and go all out to Luzhou in a few days. ”
Li Ying nodded, and after his soldiers cleaned up the mess, he walked into Zhao Guangyi's camp. Zhao Guangyi ordered someone to move a chair in and gave Li Ying the preferential treatment of the seat: "This time, thanks to Lord Li's bravery, he can repel the rebels." ”
Li Ying was not polite, sat down on the chair, looked back at Zhao Guangyi, and his voice was still a little rough: "Du Yuhou doesn't need to thank me, if it weren't for the little girl, I wouldn't be controlled by others." I also hope that Du Yuhou can treat the little girl well in the future, which is also a merit. ”
Li Yue, who was standing at the door of the tent, had already put on her outer robe and smiled at Li Ying: "Dad." That's an expedient measure in a hurry, don't think about it. ”
"What?" Li Ying's head was dizzy again, "What expedient measure?" ”
Li Yue'e strode up to Li Ying, handed him a cup of tea and said, "Dad is confused." was blinded by the clever words of the traitor, in that kind of urgency, if I didn't come up with that trick, how could my father turn his face and save Zhao Gongzi? That's why I'm talking nonsense, in fact, I have nothing to do with Zhao Gongzi. ”
"Bastard!" Li Ying didn't wait for Li Yue'e to finish speaking, she had already slapped her palm on the table, "How can you say such shameless words?" What do you take of your daughter's reputation for chastity? In front of so many soldiers, you said so loudly that you had a personal relationship with the Marquis of Duyu, and now you say that it is an expedient measure? How can it be expedient if your reputation is ruined? Are you blind or deaf when you are so many soldiers? Dumb? ”
After speaking, Li Ying looked at Zhao Guangyi angrily and said, "Lord Zhao, Du Yuhou, I know that you have a noble status. Yue'e has always been wishful thinking. I have no intention of giving you my daughter. But today's incident, the wood is already in the boat, Yue'e's reputation has been ruined, in order to help you solve the temporary predicament, she doesn't want her own name. How do you say she will marry in the future? If you weren't going to ask for her in the first place, why not come forward and clarify? Now that it's like this, her life is over. Today you have to give me an explanation, if you are willing to ask for Yue'e, it's okay, if not, I, Li Ying, the 100,000 soldiers of Qianzhou. I don't promise either! ”
Zhao Guangyi looked at Li Ying, who was angry, and then looked at Li Yue, who was red-faced on the side, and said to Li Ying: "Master Li, please allow me to talk to Miss Yue'e for a few words." ”
Li Ying looked at Zhao Guangyi, snorted angrily, and walked outside the tent.
In the huge camp, there were only two people, Zhao Guangyi and Li Yue'e, and their breathing could be heard by each other, and Li Yue'e's heart was beating so fast. Li Yue'e lowered her head, her face crimson.
Zhao Guangyi's brows furrowed tightly, as if he was thinking about something. After a long time, he looked at Li Yue'e and said, "Thank you for today's incident, girl." After speaking, he made a deep bow to Li Yue.
Li Yue'e hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Childe is too polite." I can't make such a big gift. In a hurry, his fingers touched Zhao Guangyi's hand, and he hurriedly retracted again.
Zhao Guangyi's voice was very flat: "In any case, you shouldn't use the girl's reputation as a bargaining chip." Now, the matter has come to this, as Master Li said, if I am responsible, it is okay. ”
When Li Yue'e heard this, her heart fluttered like a deer, and she blushed but couldn't say a word. After a while, he whispered: "In this way, that is Yue'e's blessing." ”
Zhao Guangyi hooked his lips shallowly, chewing on the two words: "Blessing" for a long time, his voice was a little difficult, "Actually, the girl can also go back to Kaifeng with me, and when I give the truth to the emperor, I will give the girl a good match." It's not a blessing to follow me. ”
Li Yue's face suddenly lost blood, and she raised her eyes to look at Zhao Guangyi, her eyes were a little desperate and lonely: "Childe refuses to want me?" ”
Zhao Guangyi shook his head lightly, and his voice was very heavy: "I'm telling the truth." With the girl's background, if she promises someone else, she can be a wife. But I already have a wife at home, and the girl can only be a concubine when she passes through the door. Wronged the girl. Moreover-" Zhao Guangyi sighed, "In my heart, I can't tolerate others." ”
Li Yue'e heard Zhao Guangyi's words, she didn't care about the first half of the sentence, it doesn't matter if she is a concubine, it depends on whose concubine it is. But the second half of the sentence made her heart hurt. In his heart, he can't tolerate others. She knows who she can tolerate. Li Yue'e raised her eyes to look at Zhao Guangyi, and replied stubbornly: "A person's life is very long, if you don't go to the end, who can be sure?" ”
Zhao Guangyi's eyes fell on Li Yue'e, like asking Li Yue'e and asking himself: "Is it worth it to make a bet for a lifetime?" ”
Li Yue'e nodded without hesitation: "Value!" I'm going to bet on this once in my life. After speaking, he said in a soothing voice, "As for the method that the prince said to tell the emperor, although it is naturally a blessing if the emperor can give marriage, but tonight's matter will definitely spread all over the world, even if anyone marries Yue'e again, his heart will not be happy." Instead of being wronged in someone else's house, why not accompany your son? Even if Childe doesn't have Yue'e in his heart, Yue'e can see Childe, and she is very content. ”
"Even if," Zhao Guangyi still opened his mouth with difficulty, "even if there are no heirs?" ”
Li Yue's face turned red, and her voice was very small: "It's good to be able to look at Gongzi." No heirs. ”
Zhao Guangyi's heart trembled slightly, looking at Li Yue'e in front of him, with an undisguised urgency, his swollen eyes running around for himself all night, saying that he liked it, but he did owe it. What's more, there is Li Ying's 100,000 army pressing outside the door. Zhao Guangyi touched his body, and there was nothing to give, so he had to walk to the table and hand his usual pen to Li Yue'e: "I came out in a hurry, and I have nothing to do." This pen was given to the girl as a token, and after I won in Luzhou, I came back to pick up the girl. ”
Li Yue'e took the pen and shook her whole body. Happiness came too suddenly, too quickly. She didn't dare to think that she could marry Zhao Guangyi. But now, overnight, all the situation has changed. Perhaps, he was forced by his father's pressure, maybe it was gratitude, maybe it was guilt, but it didn't matter, he was finally willing to be himself. Li Yue'e almost wanted to cheer loudly in her heart, but she still held back. He smiled at the pen in his hand and smiled: "Don't worry." But Childe is special, and the tokens sent are also special. No one has ever used a pen as a token. After speaking, he glanced at Zhao Guangyi's jade pendant, and couldn't help but say, "It's not as appropriate as Gongzi's jade pendant." ”
The jade pendant on Zhao Guangyi's waist is very eye-catching, and the white jade Zelan, especially tonight Zhao Guangyi is wearing a dark robe, which makes the jade pendant even more polished. Zhao Guangyi's brows suddenly frowned, as if Li Yue'e had made a request, her face was as cold as frost, and she said coldly: "Please come in, Lord Li." "On his private line.
Li Yue'e stuck out her tongue and went out, her eyebrows and eyes were already blooming with joy, and she pulled Li Ying and said with a smile: "Childe, please go in." After saying that, he lowered his head and ran away with a blushing face. Looking at Li Yue'e's situation, Li Ying already knew that Zhao Guangyi should have agreed.
The next day, reinforcements from Murong Yanzhao and Shi Shouxin arrived, and the three armies rushed towards Luzhou.
Three months have passed, and the summer in Jinling is coming to an end. In July, Xiao Tao has been in Huayuefang for more than half a year. From the emptiness at the beginning to the indifference now, Xiao Tao feels that she has changed, and it seems that she has not changed. The tattoo on her neck was no longer a shame for her, and finally made it difficult for her to cover her collar in the scorching summer. Xiao Tao's days in Huayuefang are not good, nor are they bad. With Qi Gongzi's dotting, Honggu didn't embarrass Xiao Tao anymore, Xiuju and Forsythia were still serving Xiao Tao. Xiuju is honest, but Forsythia is restless. often complains openly and secretly that he is with the wrong person, others can be beautiful before and after, but he wants to stay in Taoyuan like entering a grave.
Xiao Tao just didn't hear it, and came to write and practice dancing every day. Now Xiao Tao's words are more pure and smooth. To practice dance, go to the dance hall in the East Courtyard, and sometimes the new dancers will ask Xiao Tao for advice or two. Xiao Tao likes to practice at night when everyone is sleeping, no one, only the wind between heaven and earth will accompany her, the taste of being obedient to the skin, as if in Qinzhong, in Yunwan Village, in all the days when he was by her side. She's dancing, he's watching.
In the middle of July, the Flower Moon Fang seems to be very lively. Honggu selected a group of singers and dancers, and it is said that they will go to the Great Song Dynasty with the envoys. Xiao Tao asked Xiuju for some reason, and Forsythia rolled her eyes on the side: "Huayuefang is capable, and they all went to the Great Song Dynasty to see the world." I heard that the Great Song Dynasty put down the rebellion in Luzhou, and the emperor didn't rush to send envoys to congratulate him. ”
