Chapter Thirty-Seven: Seeing Nie Wuzheng
Long Jie and Long Xiao went on the expedition, Jia Qianqian didn't have the trouble of the two brothers fighting, and he was in this bustling and lively capital, so he went to the streets every day to play and wander around. Although Long Jie kindly arranged two guards for her to protect her, at first she also wanted to be friends with the two guards and let them accompany her to eat, drink and have fun. But these two guards knew the relationship between her and Long Jie, and they didn't dare to be presumptuous, and they were always willing to follow from a distance. In this way, she felt that there was a tail behind her, which was awkward and uncomfortable. So, when he went out to play every day, he played hide and seek with the two guards, trying to get rid of the two of them.
On this day, Jia Qianqian successfully threw the two of them off again, and rushed into a casino happily. There are many dragons and snakes in this capital, and it is naturally no better than the small Anyang City, so Jia Qianqian is also very careful, and every time he only wins more than a hundred taels of silver, he will stop it, so as not to cause trouble. Then take the money you won and eat all the streets and alleys of the capital. On the street, as long as she sees a disabled person, or an old beggar or a young beggar, she will give money generously. As long as she haunts the place, there are surprisingly many beggars.
Today, although he gambled with a group of peddlers and pawns in the hall of the gambling hall, he also won more than 500 taels of silver. It wasn't until I saw the strange eyes of those gamblers that I realized that I wanted to stop.
When I got out of the casino, I looked at the crowded streets, and I was thinking about where to play. A carriage drove by, and as she passed by, the man in the carriage suddenly stretched out his arm, covered her mouth with one hand, lifted her body with the other, and dragged her into the carriage. Then the curtain was lowered, and the carriage headed down an alley.
Jia Qianqian struggled to grab the person who covered her mouth with her hand, frightened and regretful in her heart. Could it be that I won too much money today and attracted the attention of the casino or other small people? Alas! I knew that the sky was bright and the sky was bright, and these people at the feet of the Son of Heaven were so lawless, so they shouldn't get rid of the guards who protected them.
The people in the carriage suddenly hugged her tightly and said in her ear: "Qianqian, don't be afraid, it's me!" It turned out to be Nie Wuzheng's voice.
Jia Qianqian calmed down at this time, and Nie Wuzheng also let go of his hand. Qianqian turned her head and saw Nie Wuzheng wearing a singing costume, heavy makeup, and a big beard, and the appearance of the official master in the whole play. Immediately laughed, "Nie Wuzheng, you really have a talent for acting." The first time I saw you, you were pretending to be a scholar, and then I saw you in the Swordless Villa, you were pretending to be a subordinate, I saw you on the way back some time ago, you were pretending to be a farmer, today, you are simply pretending to be a play, hahaha... ”
Nie Wuzheng smiled: "Life is like a play, we are all plays." ”
Jia Qianqian stopped teasing and asked seriously: "You kidnapped me into the carriage, don't you want to bring me back to Xuancheng again?" ”
Nie Wuzheng looked at Jia Qianqian and didn't speak for a long time.
Jia Qianqian looked at him puzzled, "What's wrong with you?" ”
"I'm looking at how you are different from what you used to be." Nie Wuzheng's tone was a little strange.
Jia Qianqian still didn't understand what he wanted to say, but just smiled and said, "Of course it's no different, this son is still the Jia Qianqian you first saw in Anyang City." ”
"Really? So, your amnesia has been cured, and all the past events have been remembered, so the scepter was also used as a gift for your father to buy an official? There was a deep sense of displeasure and sarcasm in the words.
Jia Qianqian suddenly opened her mouth and stammered. Indeed, she has recovered her memory, and she also gave Long Jie the scepter that originally belonged to the Dayue Dynasty and handed it over to the palace of the Great Yan Kingdom. But the conscience of heaven and earth, she never thought of relying on this to buy an official for her father in exchange for glory and wealth.
"Yes, I have recovered my memory, I hit the city wall with my head when I jumped down from Xuancheng City, and I recovered my memory after waking up. But I gave the scepter to Long Jie, and I didn't think about using it to exchange it for benefits for my father, except for repaying Long Jie's several life-saving graces, the main reason is that you said that once the scepter and the jade medal are combined, there will be an incredible mysterious power appearing, and then you can raise an army to restore the country and reign over the world. I don't want the people of Dayan Kingdom to fall into war, and I don't want the only remnants of the Dayue Dynasty in Xuancheng to go to the battlefield to kill, so let the scepter fall into the palace of Dayan Kingdom, so that the jade chapter and the scepter have no hope of being together, and the world can be more peaceful. ”
Nie Wuzheng violently pressed her shoulders and shook it, "Jia Qianqian, why did you stop me from returning to the country?" If I had the scepter, I would have been able to surrender my opponent without bloodshed, and there would be nothing you feared. ”
Jia Qianqian sneered: "Okay, tell me, how can you restore the country without blood?" Nie Wuzheng hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "The jade medal is the spirit of the scepter, as long as the jade medal is placed in that depression on the scepter, as soon as it is illuminated by the sun, the person holding it in his hand can capture the minds of everyone around him, wouldn't that be able to make all opponents surrender?" ”
Jia Qianqian was also shocked by this amazing secret, and it took a long time to say: "Is it really that magical?" ”
"This is written in the secret book in the Dayue Palace that is only passed on to the emperor, it must be true, and the book also reminds every emperor that he must not tell anyone this secret, and the jade medal and the scepter must also be placed separately in a secret place, so as not to let anyone know this secret and do whatever they want after stealing the scepter."
"If you have such magical power, why did you still lose your country after all?"
Nie Wuzheng sighed, "Maybe the last emperor didn't know this secret either. In fact, he really guessed right.
The last emperor of the Dayue Dynasty was incompetent and incompetent, only knew how to have fun, and appointed traitors and villains, which led to the misery of the people and the later demise of the country. The last emperor of the Dayue Dynasty didn't even read the statecraft and royal secret manuals reserved for the emperor, so he didn't know that the scepter could subdue all the rebels. The ancestors and emperors of the Great Yue Dynasty never thought that because this unscrupulous descendant did not know this secret, the country that could have been immortalized for ten thousand years was lost like this. And because the jade medal and the scepter are separated, no one knows its secrets, so after the death of the country, the heavens that were exiled are separated.
Jia Qianqian was stunned for a long time before saying, "The scepter is already in the Dayan Palace, even if you kill me, it will be difficult to get it." Nie Wuzheng returned to normalcy and hugged her, "Qianqian, although I am angry at what you did, I will not punish you, I will definitely find a way to get the scepter, I just want you to know that if the restoration of the country is successful, you will be the queen of the Dayue Dynasty and my Nie Wuzheng's wife, and I will not allow you to marry someone else in a daze." ”
"I'm not rare to be a queen, Nie Wuzheng, it's your business if you want to restore the country, don't involve me anymore, let me go, don't bother me again." Jia Qianqian pushed him away, she just wanted to live a simple and happy life, why didn't these people let her go?
Nie Wuwu looked at her fixedly, and finally spit out: "It's okay to let you go, but remember, I will do what I say." ”
The carriage was still wandering around the labyrinthine alleys, so that it was easy to spot someone following. After all, this is the capital of the Great Yan Kingdom, and he Nie Wuzheng is already the remnant of the Dayue Dynasty and the young master of Xuancheng that many people know.
Nie Wuzheng asked his subordinates to stop the carriage, put Jia Qianqian down from the car, and said with a smile: "Qianqian, if I miss you, maybe I will appear in front of you at any time, don't be scared anymore when the time comes." ”
Jia Qianqian glared at him indignantly, "You're not afraid that I will go to the informant?" ”
"You won't, you tried your best to protect Long Jie in Xuancheng, and now in the capital, you will also protect me." He knew her too well, and she wouldn't want anyone to be hurt as long as it was someone she considered a friend.
"I won't protect you, you better ask for more blessings." Jia Qianqian turned around and walked out of the alley. In fact, she sighed very much in her heart, this Nie Wuzheng really knew her character very well, so he dared to be so bold.
After Nie Wuzheng watched her leave, he realized that he was so excited that he forgot to ask her how she fell off the cliff without dying, and how she got her amnesia. But there is no hurry, there will be a chance to meet in the future.
was so troubled by Nie Wuzheng, and he was in no mood to have fun. When I returned home, I found an old eunuch talking to my mother. It turned out that Emperor Yong'an wanted to see her, so he specially asked someone to take her into the palace. remembered that the last time he entered the palace and was punished to the Huanyi Bureau for no reason, he was bullied by those palace maids and eunuchs, and he was drenched with well water, Jia Qianqian's face changed. shouted at the eunuch: "I haven't violated the laws of the Great Yan Kingdom, why does the emperor want to see me again?" ”
The old eunuch laughed and said, "Miss Jia, it's a good thing that the emperor wants to see you, it's difficult for many people to see the emperor." ”
"Then let this good thing to others, I Jia Qianqian can't afford it." Jia Qianqian said angrily.
Mrs. Jia panicked, and hurriedly said with a smiling face: "Father-in-law is so forgiving, the little girl is young and ignorant, and she talks nonsense." He glared at Jia Qianqian again, "Qianqian, don't talk nonsense, this emperor's order is difficult, how can you play tricks, go and change your clothes, so that you can go with your father-in-law." ”
Jia Qianqian was angry, but she didn't dare not really go, but she was angry and refused to change her clothes, and she was still dressed as a man in a sedan chair. Mrs. Jia couldn't resist her, so she had to let her go.
The place where Emperor Yong'an summoned her this time was the imperial study. When Jia Qianqian was brought in by the little eunuch he knew, Emperor Yong'an's eyes couldn't help but light up. This girl wears men's clothes, which is really unique.
"The people's daughter Jia Qianqian pays a visit to the emperor!" Jia Qianqian knelt down, alas! Be careful today, don't annoy him inadvertently.
"Why is a daughter's family wearing men's clothes?" There was no joy or anger in Emperor Yong'an's voice.
It's bad, Jia Qianqian sighed in his heart, the emperor really paid attention to these little things, he would have known that he would not be angry, and he was angry again.
He said nonsense: "The parents of the people's daughters have no boys under their knees, so they raise the people's daughters as men, because they went out to play, and when they came back, they learned that the emperor had summoned them, and they didn't have time to replace them." ”
Emperor Yong'an recalled that when Long Jie asked for marriage, Long Xiao's ridicule said Jia Qianqian; Full of mouths, dressed in men's clothes all day long, in and out of the Qinglou Casino in Anyang City, it seems that these are all real, this Jia Qianqian is really a different alternative. Of course, these were trivial matters, so he continued to ask: "I asked you to enter the palace today because I wanted to know some things about Nie Wuzheng. ”
Jia Qianqian was really frightened at this time, wasn't it, as soon as she saw Nie Wuzheng, this Emperor Yong'an summoned her for questioning, could it be that the emperor already knew about it?
