Chapter 037 - Preference for Male Style
Yun Yao sat outside the carriage with Gu Qingming for a while, and at first she could still hear their chattering voices, but soon fell silent.
Lu Yingquan in the carriage felt a little curious, so he opened the curtain and looked outside, but saw the backs of the two people, who seemed to be lazy, but showed tenacity, close to each other, and were extremely harmonious.
With a chuckle, Lu Yingquan quietly put down the curtain, sat down again, and closed his eyes to recuperate.
I don't know how long it took for Yun Yao to come in from the outside and give up the outside position to Ah Chen. Feeling the carriage swaying, her heart also rose and fell.
In fact, she knew the reason why Gu Qingming was frowning, but she didn't know that it was because she was afraid of delaying the great cause of His Royal Highness King Yi, and because of the silk that was taken away.
When Ke Ruyun came to the inn, when Sisi went to the kitchen to make snacks, Achen was always staring in the dark. With Achen's martial arts, it is not easy for ordinary people to take away a living person from under his nose.
But the person who took away Sisi did it, not only took away Sisi, but also did it unknowingly, so that Achen didn't find a clue, which shows that the other party's martial arts are likely to be above Achen, if not, it is that the other party is very treacherous and cunning, and used some tricks to confuse Achen.
Either way, it shows that the other party is not an easy person to deal with. Therefore, when they go to the capital of Jingguo, it is likely that there is a potentially powerful enemy.
But these things, naturally, there is no need to tell them for Lu Yingquan to know. Because Lu Yingquan is pregnant, her emotions should not fluctuate too much, and there are some things that don't need to bother her, so it's better not to say it.
Considering Lu Yingquan's pregnancy, the carriage kept walking very slowly, and it was originally one step later than those Jianghu people who left the inn, plus the delay on the way, so they couldn't catch up with those people until they arrived at the Jingguo Capital.
Seven days later, when they entered the gate of the capital of Jingguo, Yun Yao poked his head out and said to Gu Qingming: "Let Ah Chen act separately from us, he pretends to be a Jianghu person to inquire about the king of the side by side competition, let's go to the inn to settle down first." If necessary, we may have to go deep into the tiger's den. ”
"That's what I mean. Gu Qingming nodded and said, "Inns and restaurants are usually the places where news circulates the fastest, so let's just see if we can get the news of Miss Sisi." ”
"Yes, the subordinates go first, and the master is careful. Achen arched his hand, then jumped out of the carriage and walked in the other direction.
The carriage continued to move forward, and instead of choosing the largest and most luxurious inn to live in as before, he chose a relatively remote inn and settled down.
After all, hiding their identities now is the most important thing, there are only three of the original five people left, Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan are both weak women who don't know martial arts, and Lu Yingquan is still pregnant, so she can't be careless.
The capital of Jingguo is already relatively northern, although the weather is not as cold as Ninggong, but compared with Yiguo in the south, it is already very different.
The weather in mid-September, Jingguo, which is located in the central and western part of Daning, already has a faint sense of depression.
When Yun Yao and the others stayed in the inn, it was close to noon. After having lunch at the inn, Yun Yao served Lu Yingquan to lie down and rest, and he also sat in the room to rest, waiting for Gu Qingming and Ah Chen to inquire about the news and come back.
Gu Qingming was worried about Yun Yao's safety, so he didn't stay outside for long, and only roughly inquired about the competition with the king side by side. Fortunately, Meng Yijie, the king of this side-by-side, is not a mysterious person in Jingguo, and the martial arts competition he holds once every three years has caused a sensation in the entire Jingguo, so some basic information is still easy to inquire.
"Listening to the people downstairs, Meng Yijie, the king of the side, is a young martial arts master, born in the rivers and lakes, just because he saved King Jing's life by chance ten years ago, so two young people of the same age regard each other as confidants. King Jing was within his power and gave all the glory to King Side by Side. Gu Qingming said the news he had inquired about.
Yun Yao listened to Gu Qingming's words, thought about it seriously, and then asked, "Have you inquired, what does that side by side king Meng Yijie look like?"
"Not really. Gu Qingming shook his head, "What's the matter?" when did you become interested in a man's appearance?"
When he said this, a little jealousy flashed in Gu Qingming's eyes, as if it was because Yun Yao cared too much about other men. And this subtle expression did not escape Yun Yao's eyes, she sneered, and then explained:
"Empress Dowager Qin once told me that His Royal Highness King Jing has a secret that no one knows about the whole world, but Empress Dowager Qin knows and later told me. ”
Yun Yao remembered that in the past, when the Empress Dowager Qin asked her to go to Haoguo as a meticulous worker, she really told her the handles and secrets of those vassal kings without reservation, but now this information has become a necessary condition for Yun Yao to win by surprise.
"What secret?" Gu Qingming was curious.
Yun Yao hooked his finger at him, made him lean over, lowered his head and attached it to his ear, whispering something, but seeing Gu Qingming's eyes widen involuntarily, he couldn't believe it.
"How good is Long Yang, so you just asked about the appearance of the king side by side, because you doubted ......" Gu Qingming asked, but he couldn't say the rest of the words.
For Gu Qingming, he is a general who leads the army to fight on the battlefield, he has seen many feelings between men and men, but that is the brotherhood of joining hands to kill the enemy on the battlefield, that is the righteous and thin cloud of the sky that is not afraid of the enemy, that is the heart and gall, that is the two ribs of the knife, the men under his command, all of them are iron-clad heroes!
Therefore, it is difficult for him to imagine that there is such an unknown secret between King Jing Shen Xun and King Meng Yijie side by side.
Gu Qingming was very reluctant to believe it, but Yun Yao had always been delicate, and she was good at connecting all the trivial clues into the truth of the whole thing.
The status of Meng Yijie, the king of the side, in Jingguo, as well as the things he inquired about, including King Jing's connivance with Meng Yijie, all show that the relationship between the two is not ordinary.
"Actually, their relationship is just my guess, but it's not unfounded. Yun Yao nodded, affirmed Gu Qingming's thoughts, and then said, "There are three reasons. First, His Royal Highness King Jing's preference for male style was told to me by the Empress Dowager Qin, and the high-profile existence of Meng Yijie, the side by side, the Empress Dowager Qin must also know, so the male style in the mouth of the Empress Dowager Qin is likely to refer to Meng Yijie; Second, Meng Yijie has not convened a gathering of people in the rivers and lakes for three years, and the Empress Dowager Qin clearly knows but does not act, obviously she wants to keep Meng Yijie to contain King Jing; third, Meng Yijie is the only man who has appeared around His Royal Highness King Jing over the years. With these three reasons, it's also hard to get people not to doubt their relationship. ”
"The first time I heard about something like this, I didn't know what to say for a while. Gu Qingming listened to Yun Yao's analysis and felt that it made sense, but he was still in surprise and did not come back to his senses, "That's it, when I went to inquire about the news just now, I ran into Achen, and he said that he would come back before dinner, and listen to what he has to say when the time comes." ”
"It's fine. Yun Yao nodded and said, "You're tired all the way, go back to your room to rest, it's still daylight, and there are people coming and going in the inn, so there shouldn't be anything going on." ”
Gu Qingming didn't refuse, after all, there was Lu Yingquan in this room, there was a difference between men and women, and it wasn't very good for him to stay here, so he turned around and left.
And the reason why he left so comfortably was because he discovered one thing. Although the people of the rivers and lakes gathered in the capital of this Jingguo, they did not live in any inn, and Meng Yijie, the king of the side, prepared a special place for them to rest, so the people in this inn were not complicated.
The afternoon passed quickly, and before I knew it, it was getting late, and it was almost time for dinner.
Yun Yao stood up, stretched, walked to the back window and opened the window, breathing in the fresh air, just at this time Lu Yingquan also woke up. As soon as the two of them cleaned up, there was a knock at the door, and then Gu Qingming's voice sounded:
"Ah Yao, can Madame get up?"
Yun Yao went over and opened the door, but saw Ah Chen and Gu Qingming standing at the door, hurriedly let the two of them in, closed the door casually, and returned to the house.
"I seem to have slept for a long time, and it's getting dark. Lu Yingquan saw the sky outside through the window, and then asked, "How is it?
"Back to Mrs. Hui's words, my subordinates just met Sisi not long ago. Ah Chen's words brought a great shock to everyone, and also made Yun Yao's heart swell with infinite joy.
Originally, I thought that when I came to the capital of Jingguo, it would take a lot of effort to find the person who took away the silk, but I didn't expect Achen to have good news so soon.
"What the hell is going on? How is Sisi now? With your martial arts, after seeing her, aren't you sure to take her away?" Yun Yao asked the most crucial words.
"Miss Yun didn't know that her subordinates saw Miss Sisi in the palace side by side. Achen said, "Those Jianghu people who had come to live in Keruyun had arrived in Kyoto three days ago with Sisi, and one of them gave Sisi as a gift to the side-by-side king. In other words, the person next to Miss Sisi now is Meng Yijie, the king of the side. The subordinates also found that Miss Sisi didn't seem to be able to speak, and she didn't know if she was fed dumb medicine or ordered a dumb hole. ”
"What do you mean...... Meng Yijie accepted the silk?" Yun Yao was a little surprised, "Is the news correct? This Meng Yijie, doesn't he like men?"
Ah Chen was also shocked by Yun Yao's sudden news, but he quickly calmed down and said: "This is what his subordinates saw with their own eyes, Meng Yijie took the girl with him wherever he went, and ...... Seems to be good to Miss Silk. ”
"It's weird. Yun Yao muttered to herself, and then said, "How about the guards of the palace side by side, can we sneak over at night to meet Si Si?"
"There are no guards in the palace side by side. Ah Chen shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Meng Yijie, the king of the side, is already a first-class master in the world, although there are few people around him, but all of them are not weak in martial arts, and there is no need to guard at all." ”
