Chapter 161: On the eve of the court meeting
At about six o'clock in the morning, the light gradually drove out the darkness, the thick fog that enveloped the city disappeared without a trace in the morning breeze, and the once quiet streets began to revive, and some early vendors and merchants began to buy and sell their own business.
Prime Minister's Mansion Villa.
"Meow~"
"Hate to walk away. ”
"Meow~"
Xue Ya, who was still asleep, suddenly said coquettishly again: "Don't make a fuss and go away." ”
"Meow~"
"Huh?" Xue Ya felt itchy with the hairy stuff on her cheeks, so she opened her eyes, "Cat, I hate it!" After saying that, Xue Ya closed her eyes again!
But in the next moment, her eyes suddenly opened again!
"Ah——!!h
After resuming her senses, Sasna rushed in with a high-decibel scream, but at this moment she saw Xue Ya lying on the bed teasing the blue kitten.
This cat has a small body, only the size of Xueya's two fists, the whole body is dark blue, only the paws are white, and its big eyes are that natural azure blue, very beautiful, it is no wonder that Xueya likes this little guy.
And this little guy is also responding meekly "meow" in Xueya's gentle touch at the moment.
"Miss, what's wrong with you?"
"Where did this cat come from?" asked Xue Ya as she teased her, who made this little guy clingy and likable.
"Young Master's. Sasna replied. In fact, she didn't know.
"What variety?name?" Xue Ya didn't think it was strange, because Hua Long was weird enough, but when she thought of Hua Long, Xue Ya's cheeks turned slightly red.
Maybe he was afraid that I would be bored, so he bought me a cat!" Xue Ya thought.
"This is a purebred Lilith from the Heavenly Spirit Principality, probably only a year old, I don't know the name. ”
Xue Ya suddenly asked suspiciously, "How do you know so clearly?"
Sasna hurriedly chuckled, "Miss, you forgot, my family originally had cats." ”
What she said reminded Xue Ya that Sasna's family was originally a family with cats, and then there were some changes......
"Is this cat okay?" Although Xue Ya likes this little guy very much, she is most ashamed to use cheap things, and this kitten is no exception.
"This cat is the top of the noble cats, I heard that there are only two families in the entire imperial capital, and a one-year-old Lilith cat like this is worth at least this number. Sasna cocked up a finger at that.
Xue Ya asked, "A hundred gold coins?"
Sasna shook her head.
"Is it worth a thousand gold coins?"
Xue Ya herself didn't believe it, because the cat that her friend's family bought for five hundred gold coins had already made her feel amazing, and she also bought it later, but the most expensive cat in the cat market was only more than three hundred gold coins, and it was very big and not good-looking.
Sasna shook her head again.
Xue Ya was silent for a moment, and she stared blankly at the little thing that was rolling around her.
"Miss, the purer Lilith's cat blood, the more blue the sky will be, and this cat is worth at least ten thousand gold coins. Sasna said with some envy: "The young master is really good to you. ”
"Really?" asked Xue Ya, who was fiddling with the kitten, sweetly and greasyly.
"yes, do you want to be nice to him?"
As soon as she heard this, Xue Ya immediately became angry, "What do you know, if I treat him well, he still thinks that he is amazing, and it will be difficult to discipline him in the future, so the more he treats me, the more I ignore him." ”
Xueya's insight immediately impressed Sasna.
"What about others?"
"In the garden too. ”
......
In the garden outside the villa.
Hua Long didn't sleep all night, and his face was slightly pale, on the one hand, because of the letter, and on the other hand, because of Jingyi.
At this time, Hua Long noticed that the housekeeper had come back from outside, and hurriedly walked towards the main villa, as if something urgent had happened.
And Hua Long naturally knew it, he knew very well what the housekeeper was reporting when he went in at this time, and he could imagine the look of His Majesty when he was angry, and the helplessness when he gave the death of Prime Minister Rong Te, and even he and Xue Ya were probably not spared, after all, the direct relatives of the main perpetrator of treason will also be sentenced to the same crime, that is-death!
Therefore, at a certain moment, Hua Long also thought about leaving, but looking at the sea of flowers in front of him, his mind suddenly recalled someone's words.
After a long time, he stood up, and there was a determined look on his face: "I shouldn't give up until the last moment! And I seem to have a hunch! I won't lose!"
......
At breakfast time in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Today, everyone arrived, including Xueya's mother, Countess Qiusiya.
Prime Minister Rong Te was like a nobody at this time, while happily asking about Hua Long's official business, while explaining the way of officialdom to him, although it did sound a little boring, but this old man always added some interesting examples to it, if it weren't for his identity, Hua Long even had some impulse to ask questions.
"Grandpa!" Xue Ya was a little dissatisfied, so she was coquettish.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it!" took a sip of appetizing red wine, and Prime Minister Rongte asked, "Good granddaughter, have you bullied Hualong?"
"Grandpa is really, why don't you ask him if he bullied me?" Xue Ya retorted with a small pout.
"How dare Hua Long bully you. Countess Tyusiya smiled and said, "It's already lucky that you don't bully him, hehe......"
Xue Ya hurriedly pretended to be angry, but with a smile on her face.
Hua Long immediately laughed too, but the smile was very shallow.
Looking at the prime minister Rong Te who was unmistakable in front of him, Hua Long couldn't help muttering in his heart, why wasn't he nervous at all? Did he not know if the letter had fallen into the hands of Marshal Ron or if he had already had a countermeasure?
Thinking of this, Hua Long decided to lie dormant quietly.
It seems that it is really hard to say who killed the deer now!
......
Half an hour later, Hua Long got into the carriage to the palace, but before that, Prime Minister Rong Te had already left first, and it seemed that he was in a hurry.
In a traveling carriage.
"You know everything?"
Across from Hua Long sat his staff member Tarix, his bluish face as usual without a hint of superfluous expression.
"Yes, the people below have already told me. ”
"What do you think, or are you going to convince me to leave?" At this moment, Hua Long was eager to hear the advice of this staff member.
"I don't have a suggestion. Tarex said lightly, and then continued: "But there is a piece of news that may be of interest to you. ”
"Oh?" Hua Long, who was holding his cheeks and looking at the scenery outside the window, suddenly turned his head, "What news?"
"The people of the Heaven and Earth Society found out that he had been to the Marshal's Mansion in the early hours of this morning!" said Tarex, handing the piece of paper with the man's name written on it into Hua Long's hands.
It's him?!
Looking at the name on the piece of paper, Hua Long immediately frowned, and the uncertainty in his heart was a little more.
"The people of the Heaven and Earth Society are doing a good job. Hua Long fully affirmed this important information, "By the way, my brother is leaving the imperial capital today, you prepare a gift for me, I want to give it to him before he leaves." ”
However, Hua Long knew very well that even if Hua Yun wanted to leave, he would only leave after the dust settled.
This bastard!
After all, last night Hua Long already knew that Hua Yun would not take into account the friendship of his brothers and show mercy, but this really happened, Hua Long still felt a little sad, it seems that the war between himself and his younger brother Hua Yun is inevitable, and the only way to end it is to fall down first!
"So what do you want to buy?"
"Books!"
“......”
......
On the square outside the south gate of the Empire.
Hua Long's estimate is good, Hua Yun really didn't leave.
On the one hand, because there are many young officers who went to the Lightning Corps this time, and their parents who are officers can only come to see them off after attending the court meeting, and on the other hand, it is the decision of the Imperial Military Department to send young officers this time, so they will have to make a final "speech" by Marshal Ron before they finally set off.
At this time, the square was full of young soldiers wearing black military attache uniforms, some of these people obtained military ranks by strength, some obtained military ranks by connections, some were strong, and some were also terminally ill.
And Hua Yun looks so dazzling no matter where he goes, and he seems to have a natural magic power to attract attention, of course, this is not only due to his handsome appearance, but more importantly, he wears red.
After all, the colors of the Imperial uniforms are also strictly hierarchical: the centurion is a blue white-collar, the thousand-collar is a black purple collar, and the red and white-collar is a captain, and above is the commander of the white and gold collar.
Among the nearly three or four hundred officers, it is obvious that only Hua Yun is wearing the costume of a captain, it is no wonder that some people are envious and jealous, but more people are stammering, after all, Hua Yun's identity is different, but there are two people who have indeed stood firmly by Hua Yun's side, they are Markham and Xue Jie, who graduated with Hua Yun.
"Do you have something on your mind?" asked Xue Jie.
Xue Jie was born into a noble family, and he was a delicate person, and he studied military affairs and tactics quite a bit, while Markham was the complete opposite, he was a backward nobleman, and preferred to use force to solve problems, and his personality was somewhat like some front-line generals in the imperial tradition.
But then again, Hua Yun was good to them when they were in school, so now they are naturally willing to stand with Hua Yun.
Hua Yun shook his head, "It's nothing, I'm about to leave, so it's just a little sad." ”
In fact, what really disturbed him was what would be the outcome of today's court meeting? Will the eldest brother Hualong be executed?
"Of course, there is some sadness about leaving my hometown, but the eldest husband should take the rise and fall of the country as his own responsibility, and he can establish meritorious deeds on the battlefield to be worthy of this life!" Markham's words are enough to prove that he is an authentic warrior.
"You guy is happy when he hears about the war, and he really can't do anything about you. Xue Jie smiled and then asked Hua Yun, "Will your family see you off today?"
"Well, I guess!"
However, Hua Yun was secretly praying in his heart, he hoped that his family would not come to see him off, in that case, it would prove that the eldest brother Hualong was really finished!
