Chapter 31: Live Again
"Madam, there are a lot of people in the palace, you should be more reserved-"
Zhou Lingqing's right hand stroked my back, lowered his head and whispered in my ear.
"It's... This can't be a dream......" In a trance, I only felt unreal, raised my eyes and looked at him without moving for a moment, and my two hands tightly tugged on his sleeves.
"It's not a dream, it's warm, isn't it," he almost half-bowed, touching my face with his cheek.
Yes, warm and smelling of blood!
Only then did I regain my senses, and I jumped out of the distance, and I couldn't help but blush and burn.
Zhou Lingqing glanced at me with a smile, "Good, wait for me outside-"
After he finished speaking, he strode to the front of the palace, and by the time I could react, it was too late to raise my feet.
I saw that he threw the burden of his left hand to the ground, wrapped it round and rolled on the ground a few times, maybe the tie was not strong enough, and finally rolled out a head.
"Zheng Ke, the king of Gülan, is dead, the thieves have erected a white flag, there will be no more wars on the border of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the imperial brother asks to send an envoy to do the finishing touches-"
“……”
I vaguely remember that I just asked him to expel the southerners, and I didn't let him kill people's nests.
When the emperor heard this, he smiled, "Okay! Good! Good! The Great Zhou God of War does not belong to Prince Ling! Pass it on, Prince Ling, special merit, and the title will be added to one more level-"
After that, a lot of gold and silver were rewarded, and many ministers came forward to congratulate them, and only after a while did they let Zhou Lingqing go back to his house to freshen up and change clothes.
I waved my hand at my brother and followed him like a little tail. It wasn't until I got into the carriage that I noticed his "dress".
How to say it, it was already ragged to the level of a beggar, cotton leaked out of cotton pants with an open mouth, the armor worn when traveling had long since disappeared, and the clothes were mixed with blood and sweat, which were both eye-catching and unpleasant in the small space, and the hair was messy, and the beard was unshaven - I am afraid that it had not been washed for several days.
"Shhh
My mouth opened before he silenced me and lay his head on my shoulder.
It's a mixed bag.
In addition to the unpleasant stench, I actually smelled a trace of joy from the bottom of my heart—yes, I am so happy, for my five thousand gold, and for his Ling Wangfu.
About someone hurried to the house to report the letter, and when we entered the courtyard, most of the things used in the funeral had been removed and replaced with festive lantern couplets.
But there are still some parts that are still being demolished, Zhou Lingqing looked at everything in front of him, the corners of his mouth twitched, "Madam, this welcome ceremony is too chic——"
"No... No, no, after the news of your death came, the emperor sent someone from the Internal Affairs Office to help with it—"
It's not a dump, it's a pure narrative of facts.
"He really has a heart-" Zhou Lingqing's yin and yang weirdness reappeared in the rivers and lakes.
Zifeng Xiaojiu brought a group of people up, and surrounded Zhou Lingqing as if it were rare, and he didn't care if Zhou Lingqing was still dressed as a homeless man. In the end, it was under my reminder that Zhou Lingqing went to the bathing room.
And I suddenly became tired at this time, returned to Xinyuan, and fell asleep with my head on the pillow, as if I wanted to make up for the night pass that I hadn't slept in these days, and it seemed to be Zhou Lingqing's return, which made my hanging heart fall to the ground.
After a long time, when I opened my eyes again, Zhou Lingqing had changed into clean clothes, he was sitting in front of the fire, holding a book, holding a cup of tea, and the years were quiet.
"Are you awake?" His eyes did not take his eyes off the scroll, and his body was still nestled in the cushion, but his mouth was soft.
"Hmm...... Have you ever seen Ruyan? ”
Your flesh and blood depend on me to get to the present age, how much gold and silver do you add to thank me, so as to live up to my hard work during this time?
He didn't seem to hear me, so he didn't answer, but just looked down and read the book intently.
"Those three concubines... You can be with them..."
This time, I was only halfway through my sentence when he interrupted with a frown, "Why do you still talk so much all day?" ”
Then if I don't look for words, it's okay for the two of them to be embarrassed?
"I have had supper with all the people, like smoke... I've been there too. He still answered my question, then got up and put the scroll on the coffee table on the side, and walked over to the end of the bed, "You have slept for almost a day, I heard Zifeng say, you dressed up in the cabinet today, you were pretending to be a chamberlain to see the emperor who didn't want to summon you, and you wanted to ask him for a will, and personally went south to find my bones." Leming, these days, I've worked hard for you, and I'm alive thanks to the letter you sent——"
He stood at the head of the bed, his eyes soft as if he had changed to a different person, "But how do you know that I am going to be my own unjust ghost?" ”
I replied, "Chu Huai came to resign before he went to work outside the Guanwai, saying that you were going to die in southern Fujian, and at that time I knew roughly that it was the emperor who wanted you to die, and if you won, you died on the way back, and if you lost, you died on the battlefield." ”
Zhou Lingqing listened, and raised his eyebrows slightly, "You Brother Chu Huai can't hold his breath anymore," he snorted, and said, "But you also guessed right, I was indeed set up with thousands of ways to die, and I also had doubts before I went, with the general of Zhennan here, the little thief, why do you need me to be ordered to conquer the south?" When I went, I found out that the general had received the order and went to the frontier with an army of 100,000 to maintain peace, leaving only a small general with thousands of people to defend the city, and the thieves came to attack at this time, and the men and horses I brought with the young general combined were only 5,000 people, and the enemy was ten times that of us. After the First World War, I received a letter from your trustee, and I dared to make up my mind, all this may be a trap. During World War II, I faked my death with a team of elites on the battlefield, found an opportunity to catch the enemy's armor, and entered the enemy's interior, only to find out that it was really a trap - a border town, which was a 'gift' from our emperor to King Gülen, on the condition that he took my life, he would have given up there......"
If people want to give up their territory in exchange for your death, it's better for you to make the small country of Gülen a small vassal country for others.
"I'm scared of you, Le Ming-" Zhou Lingqing stroked my head again, "Say, whatever you want, I'll give it to you." ”
"Really?"
"A gentleman's word—"
"Lord Wang, I want to ...... Nothing is as real as money, why don't you add another 10,000 gold? ”
I watched the stars in his eyes dim, his hand motioned still above my head, and the pleasant expression on his face became more and more solemn - no, I don't have a lion to open his mouth, how many chests of treasures in your treasury can be exchanged for 10,000 gold!
"You have done so much for this king, just for this ten thousand gold?" He withdrew his hand and glared.
Do you think 10,000 gold is less than co-authorship?
"That'...... Of course, you can also have more in moderation, the more the merrier, the more the merrier, hahahaha......haha
That's not right - my smile gradually put away, this guy has a bitter and hateful look, it doesn't seem to be creating an atmosphere of "let my lion open his mouth".
He turned around sharply and changed his tone, "You still dare to mention gold and silver?" In the absence of this king, look what you have made the king's house! even let people make a funeral for the king in the house! Also, the servants of the Manchu Mansion ran away with thirty people alone! And face to mention 10,000 gold? ”
What kind of ugly face is this? Conscience of heaven and earth! If not, why should I send you a letter, the officers and soldiers outside are so heavily surrounded, why is this person moody?
"I'm not here for ......"
"No need to quibble!"
As he spoke, he lifted the beaded curtain and strode out.
Hasn't this guy always been generous? How 10,000 gold exposes the true nature.
I was so angry that my teeth rattled, called Xiao Jiu to come, and then ordered, "Prepare a table of food for me in the dining room, and I will eat it now!" ”
Eat this poor guy? He sold his property and lived on the streets!
Xiao Jiu passed the meal and returned to the house, she rubbed her hands and hurriedly walked to the couch, "The prince has only been back for a day, why did he quarrel again?" ”
"Your prince is unpredictable, who knows why?"
I got out of bed with my shoes on my feet and poured myself a cup of tea.
"Master, don't worry about this, it's a great luck that the prince can come back alive! When I went to throw away the 'tattered' clothes, I saw that a lot of blood had soaked through the gauze and stained the clothes......"
Xiao Jiu's words were full of distress.
"I didn't say a word—" I was surprised.
"The prince didn't mention it because he didn't want you to worry, and he asked us not to mention it at noon today——"
"So what are you doing now?"
Xiao Jiu replied confidently, "I didn't see the prince go out with a black face, I want you to hurt the prince more in the future!" ”
"You're me?"
"It's not! I'm afraid your seat will be snatched away! Xiao Jiu walked up to me and whispered in a ghostly voice.
Who robbed it? Like smoke? That's right, a big family reunion, I'm also free, hello, hello, everyone!
She saw that I was not serious, so she was so anxious that she stomped her feet, "You don't know, in the evening, the prince asked me to take someone to reward a few soldiers who escaped death, and guess what I heard?" ”
I shook my head - Xiao Jiu can talk to anyone!
"I heard the soldiers say that the prince and the generals guarding the city have some eyebrows......" Xiao Jiu lowered his voice and looked left and right, as if he was afraid of being heard.
I drank the water in my throat and squirted it out again, dumbfounded, "Lord... And this hobby? ”
"Where did you think of it! The general in my mouth is a female general! Xiao Jiu retorted with a red face, "I mean, they are on the battlefield, fighting during the day and discussing strategies at night, so they are together day and night, but they are afraid that they will have feelings!" I heard that the female general also blocked a knife for the prince, and people have lived and died together like this, and when the time comes, you have nothing to do, how can you be swept away? ”
I pondered for a moment - but what's wrong with that, I have 5,000 gold as a foundation, and I have saved a lot of silver money in the past half a year.
"It's not for you to worry about, if the prince wants to go down to the court and spoil his wife, no one can stop him-"
Hurry up, whoever stops me and fights with whom.
"The princess has such a big heart!"
"Little Nine Heart is so small!"
Seeing her sad face, I hurried her to urge my feast—we really didn't have to argue about it.
