Chapter 44: Depression is hard to get rid of
Looking at the people of Qu Zhiguo who fled in a hurry, Xiao Yushu smiled bitterly, if this continues, the feud between the two countries will become more and more intense, I really don't know how to be good, Xiao Yushu is in a dilemma of loyalty and righteousness, it is really not as straightforward and free as Niu Jiao.
Tang Sanzang left Ao Bai to guard the grain and materials on the east bank of the Eagle Chou River to prevent Qu Zhiguo from coming to rob him, and he himself boarded the ship with the triumphant return of the people to the Ha Xuan country. One by one, the people were in high spirits, rowing hard, and finally rushed back to the border of the country of Hara at dusk.
Suddenly, the whole country of Ha Xuan was jubilant, and the old king Lian Shixun announced that a banquet would be held to welcome the warriors who carried the grain triumphantly. The people put out the sumptuous food and held a bonfire feast, where everyone sang and danced to celebrate each other. Due to the lack of alcohol, everyone substituted water for wine, and their hearts were happy, and they drank extraordinarily highly. At the banquet, Xiao Yushu was the only one who forced a smile on his face, barely cooperating with everyone's high emotions. Everyone saluted him one after another, and he did not refuse to come, and he was bored after a sip, if it was wine, he was afraid that he would have been drunk and crawled all over the ground.
Tang Sanzang saw some clues, and first broke the silence: "Yushu, now that the food crisis in the country of Harba has finally been resolved, there is a lot of credit to you, you should be happy, why are you so depressed, is there something hidden?"
Xiao Yushu was in a heavy mood and shook his head slightly: "Master, I'm fine, probably because of the fatigue of the journey, I'm a little tired." ”
Sun Wukong smiled mysteriously, pretending to be mysterious: "Master, don't listen to this kid's nonsense, he is in good spirits." It's just that King Quzhi wanted to recruit him as his son-in-law, but he deceived millions of stone grains to the country of Haji, and now he can't go back and explain to his father-in-law. ”
As soon as the words came out, Tang Sanzang immediately understood that Xiao Yushu was a man of temperament, and he would repay the kindness of others with a drop of water. Now that King Qu Zhi has married his daughters to him, he is bound to be in favor of him, and Yushu is willing to abandon his feelings and do such things for the life and death of tens of thousands of people in the country of Ha Xu, and his inner guilt can be seen. With such a temperament, it is difficult to get rid of depression, no wonder he is so sullen.
Tang Sanzang sighed and bowed to Xiao Yushu apologetically: "Yushu, it seems that Master asked you to go to Quzhiguo to cheat food, but it was too reluctant for you, I don't know what you plan to do about it, what can Master do to help you?"
Xiao Yushu smiled lonely when he heard this, and replied with a mournful voice: "Master, you have set such a plan for the food and livelihood of tens of millions of people in Hara Country, which is a supreme act of mercy. But Yushu thinks that he has a love for His Majesty the King of Quzhi, and his heart is uneasy, and he is bound to give an explanation to him. ”
The old king laughed when he heard this, looked at Xiao Yushu with admiration, shook his head and sighed: "Yushu, you are so crazy, isn't Sai Dong Ao just marrying his daughter to you, is it a pity that you are worthy of a hero like you to throw away your life and die." However, like you, a affectionate and righteous, witty and intelligent son-in-law riding the dragon, is really one in a million, how can the widow let it go? Yushu, the widow only has a woman who is beautiful, born with a free and easy nature, and loves the hero Junyan the most, if Meng Yushu does not give up, the widow is willing to let you hold the broom, and he will pass the throne to you again in the future, so that as the king of Harba, do you feel a little at ease?"
Tang Sanzang was dumbfounded when he heard this, and blurted out: "Riqiao, Riqiao, alas, I should have thought that she was a daughter, but Your Majesty is willing to tart her three hundred for the sake of a poor monk, is it too ruthless?"
Lian Shixun stroked his long beard and smiled slightly: "It's okay, Riqiao is strong by nature, and she has always been raised as a boy, so that the throne will be passed on to her a hundred years later." For a person who will be an emperor in the future, how can her temperament be so rough, and it is natural for the widow to be strict with her. ”
Tang Sanzang was impressed in his heart, nodded and said: "Well, Your Majesty's suggestion is really wonderful, with the beautiful face of the princess and the civil and military talents of Yushu, such a beautiful woman with a hero, it is really a match made in heaven." The old king's face was full of red light when he heard this, and he frequently bowed his head, and immediately got up and sent Gong'e to invite Lian Riqiao.
Xiao Yushu couldn't stop sweating, and secretly complained in his heart, ******, see someone Saidong Ao marry his daughter to me, and your old king will also come to join in the fun, when the time comes, I will not be a person inside and out, and anyone who loses will have to be scolded by thousands of people, so I can't live anymore?"
Thinking of this, Xiao Yushu unconsciously gasped, waved his hand again and again, and refused very firmly: "Your Majesty, Yushu is a grass people, and he really can't afford to be the princess's daughter, not to mention that Yushu will go to Qu Zhiguo to ask for guilt soon, and when the time comes, life and death are unknown, won't it delay the princess's good future?"
At this time, Lian Riqiao was wearing a daughter's outfit and stepped on the lotus step, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but be furious, strode forward with her skirt, and said loudly: "Xiao Yushu, you are a dignified seven-foot man, but why are you so timid, you seek a thousand times of food for my Hara country, and your achievements are high, and you are rebuilt." Based on this alone, there is no one in my Harba country who can compare with you, so why do you want to say stupid things that can't afford me? What's more, since she is worthy of you, why should I not be able to match you every day? If you really can't come back, it's a big deal to be the queen of Harba for the rest of your life, right?"
The old king's words were full of pride, and he laughed: "Riqiaoguo is worthy of being a widow's daughter, and this is magnificent, and it has won my heart." In that case, then the father will agree to you? Haha, Yushu, it seems that the widow's daughter is not married to you, so you agree, seeing that my family is so beautiful, is it worthy of a hero like you?"
After hearing this, her cheeks were crimson, and she ran into the palace with a shy voice. Lian Shixun looked at her distant back, shook his head with a smile, silly Nizi, you can say such sensational words just now, and I am afraid that my father will laugh at her so kindly, it is really a woman's disappointment.
