193: A complete defeat
Although she is not knowledgeable, she can also taste the name 'Ergou'......Chinese It's extremely vulgar, I'm afraid that only those cheap names of rural village babies will be called like this, right?
The gentleman next to him who is a dignified prince of a country, who is respected as a son, casually gave her this name, no matter how you listen to it, it feels like he is 'humiliating' her?
"How?" Childe stood still and withdrew his hand. Nan Zhao smiled unexpectedly
"Thank you Childe just now, it's just that Childe has helped him three or four times, there is always a reason, right?" Why should people who don't know each other help each other?
She didn't think this boy was such a warm-hearted person!
"You're probably thinking too much!" The other party said in a calm tone
"I'll help you, it's His Royal Highness King Yintai'an, you shouldn't have died in Yunzhou Heavenly Prison at this moment!" Nan Zhao raised his eyebrows, but he didn't believe it.
"Don't you want to see Yan fighting in the country, killing each other, and reaping the power of the fisherman yourself?" She didn't shy away from what she said, but made the other party pause for a moment before mentioning it
"Maybe one day, there will be a war between the two countries, but between the gentleman and the villain, one must be chosen as the future enemy, and I will choose the former!" No matter where Gongzi Mei was born, he compared the crown prince Zhou Zheng to a villain, and the king of Tai'an Zhou Yang to a gentleman, which won Nan Zhao's heart.
"Childe is not only profound, but also smart, Nan Zhao really admires, but Nan Zhao still has urgent matters to deal with, so he won't greet Childe, if you can help Brother Jiu get through this pass, you will definitely invite Childe to drink another day...... Tea! She gave her leave, but Gongzi Mei stopped her.
"Are you going to the Zhenguo Mansion this time?" Nan Zhao nodded, her ninth brother was imprisoned, and the whereabouts of Zhenguo Gong were unknown, but Lu Donglai and Shen Ru should still be in the Guogong Mansion, she had to go to meet them first and then discuss how to save people.
The other party told her directly
"The Guogong Mansion has already been laid a net by the Imperial Forest Army, and if you go at this moment, you will undoubtedly throw yourself into the net!" She felt that he didn't lie, if the ninth brother had been arrested, then the Guogong Mansion must be under close surveillance, and the reason why the emperor did not directly seal the Guogong Mansion was that Xu was also worried that she would come back, right?
But if she doesn't go to the Guogong Mansion, how can she let Lu Donglai know that she is back? At the moment when they were talking, a column of nine life attendants next to them hurried by, they were all a type of people who were rampaging in the heavenly capital, shuttling through the streets and alleys of Yunzhou, just like in their own yards, regardless of whether they would hurt passers-by, Nan Zhao reacted quickly, and dragged the young man in front of him to hide aside.
The team of Nine Lives Servants rushed over like this! Nan Zhao turned his head and glanced deeply, and said to Gongzi Mei with a serious expression
"It feels like something happened over there...... "Looking back, Childe lowered his head slightly, and his eyes stayed on her hand holding him, she didn't feel inappropriate for a while, and the other party took his hand back, judging from the action, it seemed that she was taboo about her loss of etiquette.
Nan Zhao suddenly had a big drum in his heart, and it was hit hard and resounded in his heart. In her subconscious, she has regarded the childe in front of her as that person!
Although he didn't know her, she sat down like this, not because the other party was a person next to the prince of Hong Guo, and she had any precautions, but she was more like the person she had known for a long time, the closest and most understanding, and even at this moment standing in front of him, she felt that he was looking at herself.
"There's something going on over there!" Gongzi Mei said coldly, and then walked quickly in the direction where the Imperial Forest Army had left.
Nan Zhao also caught up, and in order not to distract herself, she forced herself to temporarily put down the matter of Gongzi Mei.
Yunzhou City, Yongle Street, here is the Ming Night Market, usually at this hour, it is also very lively, but tonight because of the tense atmosphere in the city, many hawkers dare not come out to set up stalls, and occasionally a few bold people just put out, and they are so frightened that they are so frightened that they quickly hide far away when they see the nine lives of the servants coming and going!
"Arrested!" A gong vendor ran over with his basket of goods, kindly reminding the people he met along the way.
"Don't go over, the officers and soldiers in front are arresting people, and they have arrested a lot of people!" Everyone was afraid of the officers and soldiers, and they didn't do anything wrong, seeing that these nine-life servants were so fierce, they were also afraid of harming the pond fish.
Nan Zhao saw from a distance that it was indeed the Imperial Forest Army arresting people, they arrested several people in cloth clothes from a private house, and the arrested people were all strong and strong, and they all looked like they were practicing their families, but they did not resist and escape, and one of them could be vaguely heard
"Brothers, our prince has not rebelled, let's not be impulsive, there will always be a time when the truth will be revealed!"
"Humph!" When the captain of the Nine Lives Servant who grabbed them heard this, he kicked the speaker in the leg fiercely, making him kneel in front of him, and compared a large knife to the opponent's neck, taunting
"Your prince didn't rebel? Still thinking about the truth? The truth is that your prince is about to die, and you despicable dogs will also go to Huangquan with him! ”
"Hahaha!" The Nine Lives Attendants next to him all laughed, and the wanton ridicule deeply stung those who were forced to be noble, and they gritted their teeth one by one and endured all the humiliation.
Nan Zhao recognized those people, and it was Xun Tanuki and Wang Fuwei who spoke. Like Xunlong, Xunhu and others, they are Zhou Yang's personal servants, and they are his brothers!
She had heard Xunlong himself mention that most of them were orphans who had been displaced since they were young, and were later taken in by Sima Feng and trained as warriors.
Sima Feng is resolute and upright, and the most important thing is loyalty and filial piety, so these people, under his teaching and screening, none of them are afraid of death, seeing them being humiliated like this at this moment, Nan Zhao's fists clenched, and her anger made her impulsive and wanted to come forward to save people.
I don't know when Gongzi Mei followed, as if she saw what she wanted to do, and reminded her loudly
"They have the ability to save themselves, and the reason why they don't do it is just to prove that they are not rebellious, are you helping them or harming them when you make a move at this moment?" Nan Zhao's eyes flickered, how could he not understand the deep meaning of this?
They were arrested because they believed that the truth would be revealed, and if they resisted, they would have been convicted of rebellion.
They all understand the truth, how can the prince and his nine life servants not understand? The more you are now, the more you have to humiliate and torture them, so as to force them to do it.
As long as they do it, not only will the crime of King Tai'an's rebellion be confirmed, but the Nine Lives Servant will not have to wait until the trial time, and they can kill the traitor now!
At this time, the Nine Lives Servant began to beat the five raccoon seekers in the street, or stepped on or kicked the head with the handle of the knife, and one of them, with a head injury and blood like cloth, immediately fainted.
"So unbeaten!" The perpetrator was not satisfied, so he immediately lifted the light frame and untied the trouser rope, and urinated on the fainting Wang Fu Weizi.
"You have what it takes to rush at me!" The raccoon dog was trampled on the ground and suffered serious injuries in several places, especially his arm, which was broken and pressed against his back, and the severe pain made his face red.
Nan Zhao couldn't bear to look at it anymore, and immediately turned his back to the other side, his heart was in a mess. Xunhu was only caught now, and she was tortured, and she couldn't imagine what her ninth brother and the other royal guards had experienced this day and night.
She wants to save Brother Jiu and save these Wang Fuwei who treat her as a relative! But how to save it? Suddenly, she raised her eyes, looked at the son next to her, and asked in a pleading tone
"Childe helps people to the end, can you do Nanzhao another favor?" She didn't have to say anything busy, the other party had already guessed.
"Do you want to see the emperor?" She nodded,
"Yes!" As the emperor, Emperor Yan can not be regarded as a Ming monarch, otherwise, he would not have reused the national teacher in those years.
This emperor has always been suspicious, cowardly and selfish, and now that Wuyanzi is dead, there is no one around him who can admonish, and the prince must be alarmist around him at this time; And if she wants to save Zhou Yang, she must prove to the emperor that Zhou Yang was wronged, and if she wants to prove it, she must see the emperor.
After thinking about it, I still felt that I needed a chance to meet the emperor alone, otherwise, with the insidious temperament of the crown prince Zhou Zheng, as long as she appeared, she would definitely come out to make a mistake, and how could the emperor be patient to read her proof at that time?
Childe's answer is not about himself
"I'm a nobody, how can I help you meet the emperor?" Nan Zhao took over and said
"Childe may not be able to, but His Royal Highness the Prince must be able to!" Last time, she saw that King Cheng was really in the Daxiong Treasure Palace, and he was very close to Emperor Yan, although it was mostly a performance, but it was enough to see that the emperor valued the prince of this Chengwang family.
If the prince asks to see the emperor alone, the emperor will naturally meet!
"You've got a good plan!" Gongzimei's voice didn't fluctuate, and he couldn't tell whether he was willing or unwilling.
But all her hopes at the moment were in the other party, so she bowed to the other party
"Please be sure to promise Nanzhao!"
"What if I don't say yes?" Nan Zhao was stunned for a moment, and didn't promise her what she could do, she couldn't beat him up, she couldn't beat him.
And the other party is so smart, what don't you understand, you can't impress him with reason! Then get down on your knees!
Although she once promised a person that she would never kneel to people casually in the future, but what she is facing today is different, she really has a request for others, and she immediately knelt down.
Seeing this, Childe's long body did not move, and looked down at her for a moment,
"That's how you plead?"
"Hmm."
"If this son doesn't agree to you, you won't be able to kneel for a long time?" Nan Zhao subconsciously wanted to nod, but thinking that it was not right, he immediately answered honestly
"Even if Childe doesn't agree to me, I can't kneel for a long time, I need to think of other ways to save people!"
"Oh-" The other's voice lengthened, and this was the first time she heard a slight emotional upheaval from the mouth behind his mask.
"Did the son promise Nanzhao?" She looked at him blankly.
"I can only take you to see His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, as for whether he will agree to you, it depends on whether you have the ability to do it!" Gongzi Mei had already turned around, and his tone was full of a clear height that no one should approach.
Nan Zhao hurriedly stood up, patted the ash on his legs, looked back at the night in the distance, and said in a deep voice
"Brothers, waiting for Sister Zhao, even if Sister Zhao fights for her life, she will save you!" After speaking, she reached out and wiped the tears on her face, and ran to chase Gongzi's sleep!
Yunzhou Post House, specially arranged for the Hongguo mission to live, there are two large courtyards, when entering, you have to pass through two doors respectively, the first outside is guarded by the guard of the post house, and the second is guarded by the guards of His Royal Highness the Hongguo Protector.
This prince Mei Su Ri in and out of the post house never go out of the door, even His Royal Highness the Prince does not know where he is all day, what to do, in short, every time he needs him, he can arrive in advance, even before going out of Yunzhou, he has also explained to His Royal Highness the Prince in advance, he will come back tonight, so the Prince of the World ordered the maid to prepare good tea and wait.
The post house wing room is also specially arranged because of the preferences of His Royal Highness the prince, there are books, ink, pen and paper in the room, which can be used for guests to write leisurely on the wall, and there are several landscape paintings made by the more talented gentlemen in the world, because it is the second floor, the tea table is placed next to the window, not only can you watch the autumn moon at night, but there are also a few potted plants outside the window, and the dripping Guanyin is actually blooming!
"His Royal Highness." The retinue who was waiting for him came in to report
"Childe Mei is back!" Shizi is personally hot tea set, hearing this, quite curious, curious is not that Gongzi Mei is back, but this time he came back, actually let others report first, usually but when he didn't pay attention, he sat on the mat opposite silently!
"Come in, please!" The retinue immediately went out to invite, and Gongzi Mei soon stepped in. Because the prince does not like the night, there are a lot of candles in the house, which are very bright.
"I've seen His Royal Highness!" Gongzi Mei made a slight salute, not like a monarch and minister, but more like a friend.
When the prince saw him, he was very respectful, and immediately got up from the tea table and said to him with a smile
"Childe calculated that the time is just right, and he has just arrived at this moment!" After speaking, he saw Nan Zhao who came in behind Gongzimei, his relaxed face was slightly stunned, in his memory, Gongzimei was alone, and even his cronies had little contact, how could he bring someone with him today.
"This is ......," Nan Zhao immediately bowed
"Little girl Nanzhao, I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince of Chengwang!"
"Nanzhao?" Shizi tilted his head and carefully looked at her clothes and face, there was a deliberate ash on her face, so naturally he couldn't see her face clearly, but the name was very familiar, as if he had heard it many times not long ago.
After thinking about it, those handsome eyes lit up, and he said in surprise
"Could it be Nan Zhao, who is called the Spirit Maiden on Bodhi?"
"It's the little girl!" She straightened her waist, although she was dressed in an ordinary way, but when she introduced herself, she had enough posture.
Shizi looked at her, then at Gongzimei, and asked puzzledly
"How did Childe meet you...... The girl is back together! Gongzi Mei maintained that coldness under the inquiry of the prince and did not answer.
Shizi also seemed to be used to his temperament, so he had to cough lightly and look at Nanzhao again.
"The little girl has something to ask for!" Nan Zhao leaned down, and his begging posture was very skillful. Shizi frowned, and suddenly thought of the turmoil in Yunzhou City in the past few days, the king of Tai'an, who enjoys the reputation of the people, assassinated the national teacher of the dynasty, and was imprisoned for the crime of rebellion.
If he remembers correctly, this woman named Nanzhao is the righteous sister of King Tai'an, and this outfit came here tonight to ask him for help, it must be related to King Tai'an, and his face immediately sank, and he refused directly
"I'm afraid that the girl is powerless to help her with what she is asking for, and there are many people in the post house, so the girl should leave quickly!" Nan Zhao and His Royal Highness the Prince of the World are only the second time to meet, the prince of the country on the side of the family, in the name of the name to visit, what she asked, undoubtedly involved others in the Yan domestic struggle, her request, it is indeed difficult for a strong man, but she has no other good plan, she can only try her best!
"Before the little girl spoke, the prince had already guessed that it was natural to refuse the little girl's request, if His Royal Highness the prince did not agree, the little girl would not leave!" Shizi was stunned for a moment, he was originally a bright and handsome person, so even if he was a little angry, he didn't show it, just frowned and said
"If the girl doesn't leave, is it possible that she wants to stay here?"
"Naturally not!" Nan Zhao replied sincerely
"The little girl will try her best to convince Shizi to change his mind!" The other party seemed to have heard a big joke, and he wanted to laugh, but in order to maintain his humble attitude in front of people, he strongly held back his laughter and reminded him with a cold face
"Do you know that as long as this son asks someone to go to the door of the post house to spread a word, someone will come to arrest you immediately!"
"The little girl knows! But the little girl also knows that the son of the world will not do this! The prince tilted his head and looked at her in surprise, you probably knew too hastily, right?
"Why can't this son do this?" Nan Zhao glanced at the black-shirted man standing next to him and replied confidently
"Because Gongzi Mei brought the little girl here, doesn't the prince want to know why Gongzi Mei is willing to bring the little girl to the post station?" The surprised face of the prince changed with it, and he felt powerless to refute!
!! That's right, why did he, a gentleman who came from a haunted place and didn't associate with people, why was he willing to bring this woman to him, with his understanding of it, there must be some great meaning in it, so he was not in a hurry to drive Nan Zhao away, coughed lightly, and asked in a different tone
"What do you have to say to this son?"
"Nope!" Because this guy's answer was too simple, even the prince himself was a little caught off guard and asked clearly
"What is the relationship between that boy and this girl?" Childe replied
"There's nothing to do with it, but I just don't want to be stalked by her!" Nan Zhao was in a hurry, did he need to be so direct?
Obviously, with this person's position in the heart of the prince, as long as he opens his mouth a little, the prince will definitely help, but he refuses.
But if you think about it carefully, she can't complain about others, it's good to be able to bring her here, and they have already said that if they can get the prince to agree, rely on her own ability.
She can't rely on someone else for everything! So, she said to the prince very sincerely
"Yes, the little girl begged the prince to take me here, and she didn't hesitate to kneel down and beg, I really don't know how to persuade the prince to do something difficult, but it's already here, then ask His Royal Highness the prince to borrow some time and listen to the little girl tell a story!" His Royal Highness the Prince muttered in his heart, hey, this girl is really interesting, telling stories on her own?
This son has been listening to stories since he was a child, do you have to listen to me? Hey, wait, I've heard that this spirit girl is extraordinary, with a spirit flower in her hand, and it is rumored that she is a strange woman, so the story she wants to tell must be very interesting, right?
Immediately he sat down on the couch beside him,
"Then you can talk about it, but the ugly words of this son are ahead, the political affairs of Yanguo, this son will never be involved, whatever you say, this son will also have this answer at this moment!" Nan Zhao was very grateful when he saw that there was a play, so he smiled and began to preach
"Once upon a time, there was a man, he was born with a noble identity, he should have been respected, but he suffered the dislike and white eyes of his relatives, just because he was born different, his father heard the warlock of his cronies say that he was a disaster to the country, and gave him poison, but he did not expect that after he drank the poison, he did not die!" Few outsiders know about these stories about Zhou Yang, so His Royal Highness has never heard of it, and when he heard that someone drank poison and did not die, he was very curious
"What, could it be that he took the antidote again?" Nan Zhao shook his head,
"Not only did he have no antidote to eat, but from that day on, he had to drink a bowl of poison every day, because the warlock said that it would cure his brother, but the truth was that his brother was not sick at all, just so that he would suffer the pain of poison every day, but even if he was tortured, he still did not live in the shadows, and he was kinder and more upright than all those around him, because he saw more than those who tortured him, but the weaklings who suffered the same injustice as him, so he hoped that one day, You can grow up and become a person who can control your own destiny, not only for yourself, but also for the thousands of weak people in this not peaceful world......" When the prince heard this, he already knew whose story this was about!
"This prince has met His Royal Highness King Tai'an a few times, but he hasn't talked about anything deeply, but he is gentle and generous, and he is a humble gentleman!" He sighed and asked
"The girl is telling the story of His Royal Highness King Tai'an, right?" Nan Zhao nodded and replied with some shame
"The suffering of my ninth brother in this life is something that I can't explain in a few words, and I know that with his temperament, he will never want to show these past in front of others...... It stands to reason that His Royal Highness the Prince of the World has not had much communication with either the little girl or the King of Tai'an, and he can't commit the crime of rebellion for a cup of crown, but the little girl feels that His Royal Highness the Prince is a person who can understand this difficulty and expectation! Shizi nodded and said abruptly
"How many people with lofty ideals have a dream of being able to make great achievements and stabilize the world, I was also born in the royal family, I naturally understand, but to put it bluntly, it is because I understand, it is not easy to know, non-sibling alliance, understanding alone is not enough!" The implication is that he can be moved by the story, but outside the story, they are not all the way.
A smart man will never do anything that is unfavorable to him, and he will not let Nan Zhao be arrested, he has already done his duty!
Nan Zhao still refused to give up, she said
"His Royal Highness is wrong!"
"What's wrong with this son?" Shizi's face sank, this woman is really bold and reckless, begging people to do things, and still such a posture?
Nan Zhao's face did not change his color
"The prince also said that you have a dream of great ambition like the king of Tai'an, even if you are not a brotherly alliance, and even one day, you may be enemies, but the original intention of that dream should be out of goodwill, is to believe that the world can be better, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, not pure ambition and self-interest, in this case, how can the prince bear to see the good side lose tonight?" Cat flutter Chinese
