Chapter Fifty-Eight: Ruo'er
The palace of the Jing Dynasty.
Jing Yufang entered the palace, and everything was going on in an orderly manner, and it didn't seem to be the same. But he noticed that everything was out of the ordinary.
Yes, neither the guards on duty nor the patrols are the familiar faces of the past. In January, the forces in the palace have been stolen. Jing Yu was silent, ignored, and didn't know anything for the time being.
The palace has always been peaceful, and nothing major has happened. The only thing that can make the palace people talk in private this month is a new pet of a certain lady. Some say it's a cat, others say it's a dog. The peculiar thing is that it is a fiery red all over the body.
Ning Huchen came back, and before the stools in the hall were hot, the people from Jingyuan came.
She knew what he was asking for, so she changed her clothes and went out of the palace with his carriage.
Xiangwangfu.
January was gone, and Jingyuan seemed a little haggard. There was a faint layer of dark green under his eyes, as if he hadn't slept well every night.
"Do you know what this king is doing when he takes you here today?"
Ning Huchen replied: "Naturally, I want to fulfill my promise. ”
His voice even had a hint of pleading: "So, tell me what happened to Ruo'er?"
Ning Huchen looked at Jingyuan for a moment, and had a game of chess in his heart. She wasn't sure if Jing Yuan was willing to be the most important piece in the game.
She asked, "You know she's dead, and I promise to tell you about her past and her death, so who am I?"
Jing Yuan thought about it for a while, then took a step back, and his eyes were shocked: "You, you are from the underworld?"
Ning Huchen's body began to flow out of a soft and dazzling purple light, and the appearance of the purple clothes in the past appeared in a cold and glamorous dust.
Jing Yuan was incredible.
She smiled slightly, turning the beings upside down: "This is what I am." I am not from the underworld, and if I die, I can't go to the underworld for reincarnation. Her life is really bad. ”
After that, Fenghua passed in her palm.
Jingyuan calmed down and asked, "You...... What is your purpose in approaching the Imperial Brother?"
"Don't worry, I won't hurt him. I just wanted to ask him for something, and when I got it, I'd go. Ning Huchen threw it lightly, and the grace fell faintly on the table: "Come here." Don't you want to know about Ruo'er?"
Jing Yuan's eyes were full of wariness.
"I'm not going to hurt your life. Ning Huchen looked back slightly: "You are still useful to me." ”
Jing Yuan settled down and walked over to her.
Ning Huchen had an extra red spell in his hand, on which was written Ruo'er's name and the eight characters of survival.
"I will take you into Ruo'er's short life in the past, you relax, don't panic. ”
Jing Yuan looked at Ning Huchen sideways, his throat moved, and he swallowed his saliva.
The spell in Ning Huchen's palm began to burn, and the two of them turned into purple smoke and melted into the passing of Fenghua. The quicksand at the bottom of the hourglass rises in clusters.
Ruo'er is not a tea seller. She is the shadow guard secretly trained by Jing Yu's side, but she doesn't practice martial arts, and she attacks the art of war.
That night, Jing Yu secretly summoned Ruo'er into the Qinzheng Palace.
Ruo'er knelt in the center of the hall and listened to Jingyu's appointment.
Jing Yu was condescending: "The rebellion in Yujinzhou is the fief of the King of Chongqing." King Qin has been moving around with him a lot recently, and the relationship between the two of them is not ordinary. After I inherited the unification, except for those who fought against me for status at that time, I spared the lives of the rest of the people. They have no mercy and are trying to rebel!"
Ruo'er bowed to Jingyu: "Ruo'er is willing to serve the emperor, and he will never give up." ”
"Of the princes, the rest of the people have understood their intentions. Only the king of Hunan seems to be following him wholeheartedly, indifferent to fame and fortune. In the previous battle for the throne, in addition to the eldest prince who supported the queen, the other person was him. I have to pay attention to what he really thinks. For a person like him, force and power are not feasible. In the Shadow Guard, you don't know martial arts, but you are as careful as dust and good at confusing your heart. You are the best person to complete the task. I want you to go to the King of Xiang and find out his mind for me. If there is a rebellion, kill it. Jing Yu lightly spat out these words, and the chill in his eyes made people shiver.
Ruo'er commanded: "Yes." ”
Jing Yu paid a private visit and went to the area of Yujin Prefecture to explore the movements of King Yu and King Qin, and Jing Yuan accompanied him.
In July, the weather is hot and dry. After three days of carriage ride, near the border of Yujinzhou, I changed horses and rode again. However, after half a day, I felt that the heat was unbearable and my mouth was dry.
Suddenly, there was a clean thatched house not far away, with green grass, carrying a flag with black edges and yellow backgrounds, and a big character on it, tea.
Jing Yuan wiped the sweat from his head and proposed, "Brother, there is a teahouse in front, and the horses are tired after walking for half a day, why don't you go and rest?"
"You. At that time, the brothers learned to ride and shoot together, and you were the most lazy, so you were not good at learning. Jing Yu was counted, but he didn't mean to blame, he saw that the guards and his entourage were also slightly sluggish, so he said: "Okay, now that we have entered the border of Yujinzhou, I am not in a hurry." Everyone listened to the order and went to the teahouse in front of them to reorganize and rest. ”
The sun is poisonous, and there are few pedestrians on the road. In addition to Jing Yu and his party in the teahouse, there is only the shopkeeper lying in front of the counter.
It's not a big place, but it's quite neat and clean.
"Anyone?" the guard asked aloud, waking the sleeping shopkeeper up.
As soon as the shopkeeper saw the person who came in brocade and silk, either rich or expensive, his worried sleeping face immediately smiled into a flower: "How many people, what do you want?"
"I guess there's nothing good here, so let's just come some. Jing Yuan said to Jing Yu, and after Jing Yu nodded, he said to the shopkeeper: "Put some Biluochun." ”
"This one doesn't. ”
"Then make some Tieguanyin. With that, the group sat down.
The shopkeeper smiled: "There is no such thing." ”
Jing Yu's expression was quite calm, while Jing Yuan frowned: "What about Lu'an Gua Pian?"
The shopkeeper smiled: "Naturally, there is none." These precious teas are not available in small shops. ”
When the accompanying guards heard this, they slammed the table: "There is no this, there is no that, what kind of teahouse to open!"
As he spoke, he walked up to the shopkeeper violently, grabbed his clothes, and half-lifted him.
"Let go of my father!" Behind the curtain of blue and white flowers, a small woman in a white shirt and green coat came with a slightly angry voice, willow eyebrows and almond eyes, at this time the eyes were wide with anger, and her cheeks were slightly red, staring at the hand-moving guard like a three- or four-month-old kitten in anger.
She approached the guard and theorized: "I have only heard of forced buying and selling, and for the first time, I caught up with forced selling and forced buying." Why, the hospitality of this store has always been asceticians, and the white water steamed buns are also eaten. If a few masters think that this store is shabby, they can go to another house and bully an old man who is over half a hundred years old! Let people see it, saying that you high-ranking officials and nobles are blindly cheap and we poor people!"
Jing Yu spoke at this time, and said lightly: "Ling Ying, step aside." ”
Seeing this, Jing Yuan took out a gold ingot from the money bag and put it on the table, and the shopkeeper suddenly had a golden light in his eyes, and he couldn't take his eyes off it.
He pushed the gold forward and said, "Uncle, my subordinate is a little rude, and he is irritable in the heat, so don't be like him." How to treat guests usually, we also gave it to us. ”
The shopkeeper happily picked up the gold and promised again and again: "Oh, it's good, the best of this store is for the guest officers!"
The corners of Jing Yuan's mouth curled into a chuckle, as indifferent as a flowing cloud on the horizon.
But the woman snatched the gold from the treasurer's hand and walked to Jingyuan. The shopkeeper's face changed instantly, and he scolded: "Ruo'er, what are you doing!"
Ruo'er ignored him and stared straight at Jingyuan: "Take it back, our things are not worth so much money." Spread it out, and no one will say that we are a black shop!"
Jing Yuan had never been treated like this by a woman, and when she looked up at her, she only saw her round and big black eyes like a cat, revealing a fearless wildness, which was quite special.
He said softly: "With this ingot of gold, you can buy anything with those Biluochun oolong teas, and you don't have to worry about not having good things to entertain." ”
Ruo'er just handed her hand forward again: "If you don't take it back, I will drive you out!
Jing Yuan continued: "Girl, you may not be too sensitive. This is not a charity, you are the only one in this ten miles of land, every inch of land, even if you ask for a price, for those who are thirsty, it is worth it. ”
Hearing this, Ruo'er lowered her eyes slightly, and her long eyelashes cast two shadows: "Noble as you, how can you know the difficulties of us civilians." Obviously, it is the emperor's world, but it seems that it is still a troubled world here, and there is no day of stability. Seeing that, our store will not be able to open anymore......"
Jing Yuan's heart ached, and when he saw Jing Yu hearing Ruo'er's words, his face was also dark. If it weren't for the struggle for power and power of King Qin, these ordinary people would not have fallen to this.
Jing Yu spoke: "Okay, what is on the store, we will eat." Ordinary people can eat, how can we not eat? ”
The shopkeeper went down to prepare, Ruo'er stopped talking, stepped aside, picked up an old wonder, tuned the timbre, and sang slowly: "Jianghan Zhihu, the king ordered to summon the tiger." The style is open to all directions, and my territory is penetrated. Bandits, guilt and thorns, the kingdom is extremely strong. As for the South China Sea. ”
Her voice is as simple and crisp as jade, but when she sings, she is different from the singers of the palace and the palace, there is no sweet and bewitching, only a frankness that hits people's hearts.
Jing Yuan had never seen such a woman. The people around him are either submissive to him, or blindly flattering and flattering, or dignified and old-fashioned, which is really boring. He has never met Ruo'er who dislikes his deliberate flattery, and he dares to speak out.
He held his cheeks and listened to her play and sing quietly, and a different emotion flashed in his dark eyes, which was irresistible attraction and devastation.
Jing Yu was silent, but he was in full view. Jingyuan really ate this set, he knew that Ruo'er had become it.
