Chapter 5 See Xiahou Ying Again
Tang Huan came back from the enemy camp with a leisurely smile on his face.
Needless to say, Qiao Yuanzheng must have been successfully reversed. Princess Zhaowen threw herself into his arms with great joy, laughing and weeping. My heart that I had been hanging for many days finally let go, but there was still no news from Jiuli, and he seemed to have evaporated from the world.
Two days later, Tang Huan and Qiao Yuanzheng joined forces to defeat Ji Chang and Li Manwu's army in one fell swoop, and successfully captured the two alive.
The smoke of gunpowder in Tongshan was about to dissipate, and Willow couldn't wait to pack up and plan to rush to Yiguo. I wanted to go with him, but he insisted on going alone, saying that it was too dangerous until I was sure of Su Che's position.
Willow and I sat side by side on the swing in the bamboo forest, and when he saw that I was unhappy, he gently brushed my back and said softly, "Why are you getting more childish?" ”
"No......" I pouted a little aggrieved, "Where am I childish, I thought that after so many things, the two of us could live and die together, but you know that this trip is dangerous and you have to go alone." ”
Vero was silent for a moment, then raised her hand and pressed my head into his arms, "Okay, let's go together, maybe things aren't as bad as we thought." ”
I snuggled into his arms and smiled with satisfaction.
When Mud came over to call us for dinner, a crescent moon had already climbed the branches, and Willow took my arm all the way to the antechamber. In addition to the father, mother, uncle, Tang Huan and Princess Zhaowen sitting in the hall.
After the three of us were seated, Uncle Sha and Aunt Sha brought up Zuihou's two dishes and beckoned us to eat them while they were hot.
"I'll be back to Tongzhan with Kite early tomorrow morning." Tang Huan stood up, raised his wine glass with a beaming expression, and raised his head to take a big sip.
"I'm afraid that when we meet zaijian, we will change our words and call the king, when is the senior brother going to hold the succession ceremony?" I fiddled with the chopsticks in my hand and looked at Tang Huan.
"If things go well, it should be next month." After Tang Huan sat down, he turned his head to look at Wei Luo and asked, "When are you leaving for Yiguo?" I think I'd better send a team of secret guards with you, now there has been no news from Jiuli, I'm worried that Su Che will have a problem. ”
Wei Luo shook his head, pressed the corner of his forehead with a tired look, and replied: "Now that the situation has just stabilized, you still need manpower on your side, I will sneak back to Yiguo to find out the news, it shouldn't alarm Su Che, and I think there may be some misunderstanding in this." ”
"In that case, you should be careful, remember to bring the non-return, and if you need help, let the non-return pass the message to me." Tang Huan nodded, then picked up a piece of fish meat with chopsticks and put it in Princess Zhaowen's bowl.
In the past, my brother has always been a nagging mother-in-law in my heart, and I don't know when he has become a mature, stable and careful man.
A few days later, news came from Lou that Tang Huan was going to succeed him as King Lou, and Wei Luo and I had already embarked on the journey to Yiguo. For the sake of safety, I dressed up with Willow in disguise, and I changed my name to "Weiyang" from "Willow" to "Weiyang", which was his pseudonym when I first met him, but I have always liked it, since he is no longer King Yi, then he is my Weiyang, and I am the only Weiyang.
It has been half a month since I entered Yiguolong City, and outside the East City Gate, Wei Luo and I got out of the carriage one after another, looking at the inscription on the boulder next to the city wall, and couldn't help but sigh a little.
Time has passed, several years have passed in a flash, and now I think that I have lost my memory and only thought about the peace of Lou Guo.
Seeing that I was smiling at the inscription on the stone wall, Willow pointed his finger at my forehead and asked, "Is the inscription ridiculous?" ”
Seeing his angry look, I hurriedly explained: "No, it's a good question, you see, what you promised has been fulfilled." I was laughing at myself just now, and I was still thinking about helping you find tassels after you were kicked out of the palace at that time. ”
"Are you blaming me? If I hadn't been so suspicious then, it wouldn't have been difficult to find out that you were a tassel......" Willow took me by the shoulder, his tone a little dejected.
"Of course I don't blame you, I didn't know who I was at the time, but it's because I've experienced so many things that I cherish my time with you more now." I wrapped my arms around his waist and smiled faintly at the corners of my mouth.
"But you are indeed stupid, you can actually believe Tang Huan's words made up like that......" Willow curled the corners of his mouth, revealing a sneer.
I pinched the hand around his waist silently, and he stiffened his face and said: "I am a lady who is beautiful and wise, ice and snow smart, gentle and virtuous, let's go into the city!" ”
Hearing this, I let go of my hand with great satisfaction, and followed him into the carriage as he turned.
Outside King Lou's palace, Willow and I looked at the heavily guarded palace gate and didn't know what to do for a while. Because we haven't been able to contact Jiuli, we don't know the situation here, and it's really inappropriate to rush in. But if we don't go in, we won't know what's wrong.
After hesitating at the palace gate for a long time, someone behind me suddenly patted me on the shoulder. We turned around and were a little dazed for a while, and after a long silence, Wei Luo said with an embarrassed face: "Ying'er, why are you here?" ”
"Come with me." Xiahou Ying covered half of her veil, dressed in the coarse cloth skirts of ordinary people, and beckoned to us a little sneakily, signaling us to follow.
I glanced at Willow suspiciously, not understanding the reasoning.
Hasn't Xiahou Ying been imprisoned in a prison by Wei Luo? How did she end up here? Moreover, Wei Luo had already indirectly killed her father Xiahou Yan when she confronted Mu Xian, did she appear in front of us now to help us, or did she want to take revenge?
Of course, I think the latter is more likely, after all, from what I know about her, she is certainly not a person who repays grievances with virtue.
Verolo frowned slightly, then took my hand and strode over.
"You're crazy, she doesn't know where she went, why did she come with her like this?" I lowered my voice and whispered in Willow's ear.
"If she wants to hurt me, you don't have to bother so much, let's believe her once! After all, now that Mu Xian is finished, there is no shili behind Xiahou Ying, so you don't need to worry. Willow explained calmly without stopping.
When he said this, I remembered Mu Xian and He'er who were trapped in the Snow Mountain Jedi, and the two of them were afraid that they would have to be with Bai Ze in the Snow Mountain Jedi for the rest of their lives.
In front of an inn in Longcheng, Xiahou Ying finally stopped, she pointed to the second floor of the inn and said to us: "In order to keep a low profile, I will go in first, you go to the upper room of Tianzi to find me, I have something important to tell you." ”
Seeing her mysterious appearance, I couldn't help but be a little curious, could it be that she found out something special in Long City? Or does she know the purpose of our trip?
