Chapter 238: Scruples
Xiao Huan personally helped Xiahou Yu adjust the hidden sac so that she could sit more comfortably, and said in a low voice: "I know that Xiahou is uneasy and kind, and I am afraid that Lu Yuan will make trouble from it, so I have been guarding against Lu Yuan's action." Who knew that Lu Yuan didn't make a move, but Xiahou Youyi made the first move. Speaking of which, I was lucky, Xiahou Youyi had murderous intentions towards me, and he was afraid that the killing of the minister would discredit him, causing the disgust and counterattack of the valve family, and he listened to Hong Lian's suggestion and led me to Hualin Garden, saying that he was there to feast me.
"I thought it didn't make sense. He was followed by dead soldiers. In addition, Xiahou Youyi did not dare to mobilize the Praetorian Guards on a large scale, and was ready to attack me, after I saw it, he simply attacked first, and immediately controlled Xiahou Youyi, and on the grounds that Hong Lian was flattering and offering greedy words, he directly drew his sword and killed Hong Lian. ”
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but snort coldly, and his eyebrows were full of disdain.
Xiahou Youyi was stupid, thinking that I would kill him together, so he crawled under the incense case and didn't want to come out. I simply asked Lu Yuan to come over, and negotiated the conditions with Lu Yuan - the former holy oracle should be regarded as a fart, when Xiahou Youyi has a feverish brain, I am still the assassin of Yangzhou, and I hold the three states of Xu, Henan, and Yang. ”
In that case, why did you come to me?
The words had reached Xiahou Yu's mouth, and she still swallowed the sentence.
She instinctively was afraid of Xiao Huan's answer at this time.
If he replied, "You are my wife, I will naturally come to pick you up," how would she respond?
If he replied, "We share weal and woe," how would she have answered?
These thoughts flashed in Xiahou Yu's mind, and it was instinctive to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, so she immediately changed her statement: "In that case, why do we want to go back to the manor?" Why don't you go directly to Yangzhou? You killed Hong Lian in front of Xiahou Youyi, Xiahou Youyi must have been frightened, he will definitely rely on Lu Yuan, we are too dangerous in Jiankang! You should let Xiahou Youyi go out of the city with you! ”
"Wouldn't that become a coercion of the Son of Heaven to order the princes?" Xiao Huan looked at her with a smile, his eyes were deep, and there was an emotional tumbling that Xiahou Yu couldn't understand, "I can't be that kind of person?" After speaking, he helped her straighten her clothes and said softly, "Jin Ling, there are some words, let's go back to the manor." Then he lowered the curtain and commanded his retinue in a loud voice, "Let's get out of town!" ”
Outside the calf cart was a neat sound of promises.
In the sound of the chatter, the calf cart slowly galloped towards the eldest princess's mansion.
The guards at the gates carried torches and sent them out of the city.
The moonlight outside the city was cold, illuminating the clarity of the heavens and the earth.
Xiahou Yu couldn't hold back, and pulled Xiao Huan to the calf cart to speak: "Why do you want to stay in the manor?" Once Xiahou Youyi and Lu Yuan join forces, it will be impossible for us to return to Yangzhou smoothly. ”
"Don't worry!" Xiao Huan motioned for her not to speak, "I have my own arrangements." All you have to do now is get a good night's sleep. I heard Ah Liang say, you haven't closed your eyes for almost a day. Even if you can stand it yourself, you still have to think about the child in your belly. ”
Xiahou Yu was stunned.
She put her hand on her stomach and whispered, "Is it for the child?" ”
The child is not yet two months old, and if you are in a hurry, you may have a miscarriage.
So Xiao Huan arranged for a calf cart to pick her up.
In fact, Xiao Huan is more accustomed to the carriage on the Beiliang side.
"Really?" She looked at Xiao Huan fixedly.
Xiao Huan wanted to speak again and again, for a long time, but under Xiahou Yu's gaze, he couldn't help but nod lightly, and said, "We can't let the child have an accident!" ”
Xiahou Yu breathed a long breath, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or disappointed.
"I see!" She said, "Don't worry, I will protect our children well." ”
Xiao Huan nodded, touched her head gently, and said, "Do you want to rest for a while?" We will stay at the manor for two days and then leave for Yangzhou. ”
Even if you go to Yangzhou, what can you do?
Under the whole world, it is not the king's land.
Where can they hide?
And after leaving Jiankang City, they were separated from the temple and had no way to affect the situation in the imperial court.
This break with Xiahou Youyi benefited Lu Yuan.
Xiahou Yu gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "It's better to arch Xiahou to be blessed with the throne, right?" ”
Although she didn't want to see Empress Dowager Feng, it was better than letting a sword hang over her head from time to time.
Xiao Huan immediately understood what Xiahou Yu meant.
He chuckled under his breath.
Xiahou Yu blushed inexplicably.
Xiao Huan said: "Jin Ling, do you like the north?" ”
"What?!" Xiahou Yu didn't understand for a while, but after she understood, her heart suddenly hung up.
She hesitated: "You, do you want to take refuge in Beiliang?" ”
"How is that possible?" Xiao Huan smiled, "My family is in Wuzhong, and it is impossible for me to leave them alone and run for my life." At the beginning, Gu Xia was because there were no more clansmen, otherwise he would definitely come back. ”
Gu Xia even wanted to take the Wu family because of his relationship with the Wu family.
He's a nostalgic man.
Xiahou Yu's eyes were confused.
Xiao Huan lowered his voice and said: "Jinling, Yangzhou is not a long-term plan, the most appropriate way is for us to go north, take the entire Yuzhou as the cornerstone, and slowly advance with Luoyang." ”
Half of Yuzhou is in Beiliang, and half is in the imperial court.
In the north of Liang called the North Yuzhou, in the imperial court, called the South Yuzhou.
With Yuzhou as the cornerstone, that is, to unify the north and south of Yuzhou.
Xiahou Yu was shocked.
Could it be that Xiao Huan wants to establish himself as a king?!
Xiao Huan did not hide his ambitions.
He said: "I have always wanted to go on the Northern Expedition. But since the failure of my first Northern Expedition, I have understood that if I want to rely on the imperial court, I will never succeed. I defeated Tuoba Shou in a mess before, just to see if I could gain a foothold in Northern Yuzhou. Xiahou is righteous, narrow-minded, and thinks very highly of himself, even if he doesn't get into trouble with me at this time, over time, there will be irreversible contradictions between us. Rather than planning at that time, it is better to plan ahead. It's just that I didn't expect things to go so fast.
"But it's fine, lest I waste my time.
"Let's go to Beiyuzhou and lay down Beiliang.
"What do you think?"
Xiahou Yu felt frightened.
If they leave, I'm afraid they will break with the imperial court.
She is not afraid of breaking with the imperial court.
But she was afraid of the child in her belly...... I can't grow up safely and smoothly.
"I ......," she couldn't help but touch her stomach again.
Xiao Huan put his hand on hers.
"Jin Ling," he whispered in her ear, "it's for the sake of our children that I can't bow to Xiahou Youyi and Lu Yuan." When I was younger, I had too many eyes on the valve, and I couldn't let our children fall into that situation! ”
Xiahou Yu didn't understand the truth, but it was a difficult thing to make up his mind.
Xiao Huan did not urge Xiahou Yu.
When Xiahou Youdao was the Son of Heaven, she was even willing to marry him in order to protect Xiahou Youdao, which shows how much she values Xianyang Palace and how proud she is of her status.
He hoped that she would willingly follow him.
Rather than being forced by the situation.
