Chapter 473: The Book of Foxes and Fishes
Xia Qingyang nodded.
Immediately, Ren Yi took her to the back room of the tea house to change clothes.
"On the way here, did Jiang Ye say anything to you?"
Xia Qingyang didn't expect Ren Yi to take the initiative to mention Jiang Ye's matter with her.
She took out her boots from the package to change them and asked, "What does Your Highness mean?" ”
“…… About me. ”
"General Jiang said that I was too abrasive and procrastinating, and said that it would be good if all the women in the world were like His Royal Highness."
Hearing this, Ren Yi clenched his fist slightly.
Xia Qingyang secretly glanced at Ren Yi's face: "Your Highness, why would General Jiang know that you have a birthmark on the back of your neck." ”
“……”
Ren Yi paused for a moment, and after being entangled for a long time, he told her unusually briefly how he detoxified Jiang Ye back then.
Well, it did.
Xia Qingyang sighed. General Jiang Xiao was really lucky, and after being poisoned by almost certain death, Ren Yi sacrificed his life to save him.
When Ren Yi talked about this, his expression was calm: "At that time, I was ready not to marry for life and devote myself to the military camp for the rest of my life, and the chastity valued by ordinary women is nothing in my opinion." ”
Moreover, Jiang Ye was originally trying to save her at that time, so he fell for the trick of the Xideng people.
How could she watch Jiang Ye die.
Xia Qingyang understood: "As a result, when you came to Dachun Country this time, General Jiang recognized you?" ”
"He said he was responsible for me." Ren Yi frowned, as if he felt very speechless, "I told him that he didn't have to, but he said that he would ask my imperial brother for marriage." ”
Ah, if it were Ren Fu, he would definitely agree to this request when he heard it.
"And then?" Xia Qingyang was curious about how the follow-up evolved into what it is now.
Maybe it's because I've never experienced this kind of thing, maybe it's because I don't have any sisters to talk about, Ren Yi opened her mouth and told Xia Qingyang everything that happened.
"Then he saw that I had made up his mind, so he asked Deputy Commander Xiao to ask me out for a one-on-one chat."
In the restaurant that day, Ren Yi went to the appointment on time. She told Jiang Ye plainly that he didn't have to marry her out of responsibility.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Ye actually said that he fell in love with her at first sight. For so many years, he had wanted to find her. I want to marry her because I like her, not because I have a sense of duty.
Of course, Ren Yi felt outrageous this time, so he wanted to leave directly.
Hearing this, Xia Qingyang raised his forehead slightly.
Of course, she believed that Jiang Ye really had feelings for Ren Yi. It's just that Jiang Ye miscalculated Ren Yi's character.
With Ren Yi's understanding of men, listening to Jiang Ye's statement, she would only think that Jiang Ye was a sperm worm in the brain, or that there was something wrong with the braincase.
"I wanted to just leave." Ren Yi paused, "But he swore that I must also be interested in him, and I want to prove it to me." ”
"How do you prove it?" Xia Qingyang had a premonition in his heart.
"He found the same poison as he did back then, put it in a bowl, drank it himself, and bet that I would save him again."
"Then since General Chiang is still alive now, it means that Your Highness ...... you"
"How could it be. After going through the events of the year, it became my habit to always have various antidotes to the Xideng Gu technique on my body. Of course, I used pills to detoxify him. ”
No wonder, no wonder.
No wonder when he met him for the first time in the Cricket Pavilion, Ren Yi knew so much about the witchcraft of the Western Deng Kingdom, and he also carried the antidote with him.
At that time, Xia Qingyang was still a little puzzled, but now it makes sense.
"Then what if His Highness didn't bring the antidote with him?" Xia Qingyang asked cautiously.
Ren Yi raised his eyebrows: "Of course it is...... Go to the street and ask a prostitute to come over. Doesn't he, General Jiang, like to go to Flower Street the most, I don't think this method is inappropriate. ”
Oh~
Xia Qingyang looked at Ren Yi's expression, and he knew a little bit in his heart.
Finally he understood what I meant, and said that he would repay the favor by other means. So I asked him to help you get you out of the palace. Ren Yi looked at Xia Qingyang, "Don't just talk about me, you and Deputy Chief Officer Xiao ......"
"It's already broken." Xia Qingyang told Ren Yi very decisively.
"Really?"
"Hmm. He thought that I really wanted to marry Jiang Ye, so I pushed the boat along the way and told him that we would never see each other in the future, and even if we did, it would be regarded as if we didn't know each other. ”
That's for sure, after all, Gu Sinan will leave the copy in two months.
When we meet again, "Deputy Commander Xiao" should change back to Xiao Han himself. Of course he didn't know her.
However, Xia Qingyang added some acting skills to this script, bowed his head slightly, and made himself look a little stunned: "I have been prepared for this day." Since we have followed different lords, we are already destined not to be people of the same world. Think of it as a dream. ”
Ren Yi looked at her, as if she was a little touched, but she didn't know how to comfort her.
Xia Qingyang didn't want to talk about this too much, so as not to reveal his stuffing.
She diverted the topic, and while putting on her coat, she briefly talked to Ren Yi about her future plans.
Ren Yi humbly asked for advice: "How should this people's heart be obtained?" ”
"I wonder if Your Highness has heard the story of the 'Fox Singing Fish Book'?"
"No, I didn't."
Ren Yi simply sat down and listened to her.
The so-called fox song fish book is actually the well-known fish storage ruler element, bonfire fox song.
It is rumored that during the uprising, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang used phosphorus fire, fox cries, and the method of hiding letters in the belly of a fish to make the people believe in the oracle descended from heaven, so that they could rise up with confidence.
This proves that in order to promote public opinion change, sometimes small actions in the shadows can have a greater effect than the sound on the surface.
"Are we going to follow this example too?" Ren Yi asked.
"It can't be so obvious for now. This story just shows that in order to win the hearts and minds of the people, sometimes you have to use a little trick. ”
Chen Sheng and Wu Guang both shouted out the slogan of "King Chen Sheng", and the preparation of the fox song fish book was also done before the rod was revealed.
If they completely follow suit now, it will only startle the snake and make Ren Fu suspicious.
"But we can build momentum first." Xia Qingyang said, "If Your Highness agrees, I will let my second and third senior brothers, who are one step ahead, spread the news in the counties and towns along the way, revealing your achievements in giving for three years." At the same time, after we arrive in the county town, we can continue to give alms publicly, but in the name of 'Your Majesty'. ”
Ren Yi frowned slightly: "In the name of Ren Fu? ”
"Yes. After all, the closer you are to the roots of the imperial city, the easier it is for the rumors to spread back to the palace. In order not to arouse His Majesty's suspicions, we must do so. Xia Qingyang smiled, "Don't worry, with my two senior brothers spreading the news in advance, the people will understand that this grain is still here because of you in the final analysis." ”
Don't underestimate the intelligence of the common people - at least in terms of food, farming, etc., they know best.
