Chapter 68: Temporary Danger

281

Let's say that everyone heard someone calling for the "queen mother", and they all looked at the tree behind the temple.

But when he saw a man holding a child, he jumped from a tree to the top of the temple.

Then, three more figures jumped from the tree to the top of the temple.

The queen cried out:

"Yijiu!"

Yin Qiu shouted:

"Protect the King!"

Yang Pu, Ji Gang and the others immediately drew their blades, hid the Youwang and the others behind them, and stared at the few people on the top of the temple.

The queen sprang out with an arrow, and cried out again:

"Yijiu!"

The boy also shouted:

"Queen Mother!"

That child is none other than Prince Yijiu.

Holding him was Long Zixi, and the three people around him were Third Brother Fang, Fourth Brother Fang and Sacrifice Qiong.

It turned out that Long Zixi and his people left Shen State with the prince after the eighth day of the first lunar month, and went to Ying State and Huo State along the North Road, and then went to Wei State.

When he was in the Wei State, let Third Brother Fang take the lead and find out the news.

Several people calculated the time, left the Wei State, changed into ordinary people's clothes, and then rushed to Lishan.

Third Brother Fang didn't know that ordinary people were not allowed to worship when he arrived in Lishan, but he didn't know that King Youwang was here.

After thinking about it for a while, he came up with a plan, pretending to be a tourist to meet the queen and others halfway, and telling the queen in code that they would find the wild road up the mountain, which was intended to let the queen wait here.

Afterwards, he hurried to meet the people of Longzixi, so Huoyunqi did not see him when he went down the mountain, and he naturally could not know that the queen did not want them to go up the mountain.

After facing the people in Long Zixi, several people were surprised when they heard the situation.

After some discussion, he felt that since Third Brother Fang had made a secret agreement with the queen, he could only take the risk of stealing the road to the mountain, and let their mother and son meet no matter what.

Except for Long Zixi, those people were very familiar with Lishan, and it was easy for them to sneak into the mountain from behind and then to the back of the temple.

When they arrived at the back of the temple, Youwang and others were worshipping in the temple, only to see the "Five Elements Hero", Yang Pu and Ji Gang and many soldiers standing in front of the temple, they knew that the situation had changed, and did not dare to show up, so several people jumped on the tall tree and secretly observed.

When the people of Youwang came out of the temple, Long Zixi and others knew that the Youwang was here.

How can we meet in such a situation?

Long Zixi thought for a while, and motioned to everyone not to make a sound, and prepared to wait for the Youwang and the soldiers to evacuate, and then find an opportunity to meet or go down the mountain to leave.

When the prince was in Wei, he already knew that he was going to meet his mother today, and he couldn't hold it back.

Seeing his mother follow King You, he was about to shout, but it was Long Zixi who held his mouth down tightly.

The conversation between the king and the queen was very clear.

After all, Yijiu was a child less than ten years old, and when he heard that King You wanted to take his mother away, the queen mother obviously couldn't refuse.

I thought, I don't know when I don't see it today.

In a hurry, he couldn't care much more, but he broke free from Long Zixi's hand and screamed loudly.

282

At this time, if Long Zixi and the others jumped off the tree and escaped, it would not be difficult.

Although there are many soldiers on the mountain, they are guarding the palace and the temple and along the road, how can there be soldiers all over the mountain?

Especially when they were behind the temple, if the soldiers wanted to chase them, they had to make a big bend on both sides, and with the efforts of a few of them, they had already fled far.

But Long Zixi thought about it, as soon as they left, it would be difficult for the queen, so how could she deal with it?

The queen has already fallen out of favor, but she is afraid that the situation will be even more difficult in the future.

At the moment, since the prince has been exposed, he simply showed up, and just took one step at a time.

So, after the prince finished shouting, he jumped from the tree to the top of the temple with the prince in his arms.

When the three of them saw Long Zixi appearing, they couldn't hide anymore, and they immediately jumped to the top of the temple.

At this time, everyone also recognized a few people.

Although Long Zixi has a beard, his appearance has not changed, and it is not difficult to recognize him.

Long Zixi saw the king of Youxi and shouted:

"The grass people have seen the Son of Heaven! Long live our emperor, long live! ”

The men also saluted.

King You looked at the people of Long Zixi, and then at the queen, and his face was displeased.

The stone father cried out in a loud voice:

"Is it Long Zixi? What do you want to hold the prince hostage? ”

Longzi West Road:

"Yes, that's right! Lord Yu, under the order of Shen Hou to protect the prince, how can you hold it hostage? ”

Father Yu Shidao:

"Since you are protecting the crown prince, you should be in Shenguo, why did you come here again? Why are they sneaking behind the temple? ”

Longzi West Road:

"We are ordered by Shen Hou to take the prince to travel to neighboring countries, inspect the people's feelings, and share the king's worries. Passing by here, I came here to play for a while. Because I didn't know that the ghost king was here in advance, I didn't dare to make a mistake, so I took refuge behind the temple temporarily, not sneaky. ”

That Yin Qiu didn't speak all the time, and suddenly said at this time:

"So, what happened today is pure accident? Forgive the courage of the officials, and the queen also didn't know in advance? ”

As he spoke, he looked at the queen coldly.

The queen was already in tears at this time, just staring at the prince, shaking her head frequently, and couldn't say a word.

Long Zixi thought to himself, today's things can only be stiff, and see what can be done. Lang Dao:

Of course the queen doesn't know. Even we did not know that the king would come to worship here. ”

When the ghost king heard this, he was skeptical.

But it was such a trouble, which disturbed his distraction, and he was very displeased, and said angrily:

"Long Zixi, last time I forgave you for the crime of holding the widow hostage, and I paid you an exoneration paper. You don't want to repay the favor, but you instigate the prince to leave the land without permission, can you be guilty? ”

Long Zixi nodded at the King of Youxi and said:

"I beg your pardon for not being able to give my king a full salute.

"Your Majesty pardoned the grass people back then, and this kindness grass people will remember it in their hearts, and they will be rewarded!

However, as far as I know, the prince traveled to neighboring countries and did not return to the palace without permission, so there is no violation of the law.

"Although the prince came out to travel, he made a proposal, but he did not dare to admit his guilt."

The ghost king was so angry that he pointed at Long Zixi:

"You, you...... What a sharp-toothed man! If you were so ungrateful, I shouldn't have forgiven you in the first place! ”

That Yin Qiu rushed to the king of You:

"Your Majesty, according to the system of this dynasty, it is not necessarily sinful for the dragon son to take the prince to travel to neighboring countries.

"But the crown prince is released to Shen Kingdom, and according to the law, he cannot meet the will of my king, but he should not meet the queen.

"Even if Long Zixi didn't know about it in advance, after he came, how could he not see the 'Five Elements' people in the courtyard?

"When you see the 'Five Elements', how can you not know that the queen is here?

Then you should take the prince with you.

"Today, lurking behind the temple, secretly watching, its sin is not small!

"Please ask Your Majesty to issue a decree, take Long Zixi, ask him about his crimes, and correct the law of the country!"

It turned out that when Yin Qiu saw this scene, he must have conspired with Shen Hou, the prince and others in advance.

But he thought that if he attacked Shen Hou and the queen at the same time, things would inevitably be complicated, and he might not be able to reach it quickly.

It's better to keep an eye on Long Zixi and treat him first.

ruled Long Zixi, so that Shen Hou and the queen had less important helpers, and then slowly dealt with them.

His remarks are reasonable and very profitable.

The queen secretly complained in her heart when she heard this, but she just hoped that the dragon son Ximo would be long-winded again and flee quickly.

But now that Long Zixi has appeared, how can he escape? I was only thinking about how to answer in my heart.

Listening to Yin Qiu's words, King Youwang nodded again and again:

"Not bad! Come on, surround Long Zixi, Hugh is going to let him escape! ”

Those soldiers gathered in front of the temple, and more than a dozen soldiers climbed up the slopes on both sides, obviously to take the road up the mountain and go around to the back of the temple.

Yin Qiu is again:

"Your Majesty, this dragon son is strong in martial arts, and today he occupies a favorable position, it is not easy to catch him.

"My king only needs to issue an order, make his sins clear, and then pursue Na Shen Hou and ...... Others are guilty of negligence.

"Even if he escapes today, we will issue notices to him all over the world, and we will make it difficult for him to have a place to hide, and sooner or later he will be subject to national law!"

He knew that Long Zixi was the most righteous, and deliberately said that he would investigate the crime of Shen Hou's negligence, but he expected that Long Zixi would not escape.

I wanted to say that I wanted to investigate Shen Hou and the queen for negligence, but it seemed inappropriate to say so in front of the queen, so I changed my words.

Sure enough, Long Zixi heard this, and said loudly:

"The grass people are stupid, and they really don't know that they shouldn't let the prince see the queen in secret.

"Since Lord Yin said so, it is up to the grass people to bear it, and this matter has nothing to do with the queen.

"Even if it is Shen Hou, it should not bear any responsibility for negligence, could it be that Shen Hou will calculate in advance that there is such an accident?

"If Your Majesty can be gracious and not embarrass the queen, Shen Hou and the crown prince, the grass people will never run away, and they will be disposed of!"

But he had already made up his mind in his heart, as long as he didn't implicate the queen and Shen Hou, he would be willing to die.

The Youwang actually didn't take this matter seriously, and the voice in front was very loud, but it was just to show the majesty of the Son of Heaven, and also to vent the anger of being held hostage by Long Zixi back then.

Hearing that Long Zixi was willing to take the blame, he didn't want to get too stiff with Shen Hou, so he said:

"If you are willing to take refuge in your sins, I promise you that I will never be embarrassed by others."

The queen and the "Five Elements" were very anxious, they knew that once Long Zixi was captured, there would be no good result, but they had no way for a while.

The queen cried out in her heart:

You don't know the depths of Long Zixi, for the sake of that arrogant and cloudy reputation, you don't even want your life?

283

At this moment, Bao Xi suddenly spoke:

"Your Majesty, the concubine has a word, is it allowed to play?"

The king of the dark did not allow anything, and said:

"Were you shocked just now? The nobleman has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

Bao Xi said softly:

"Your Majesty, rest assured, everything is fine with the concubine. The concubine thought about today's matter, but it was really the queen and the prince and others who had planned in advance, otherwise why was it such a coincidence? ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

Long Zixi even scolded in his heart:

"Wrongdoer! Have you forgotten how I told you to come? Do you really not remember the queen's grace in the past? ”

But I heard Bao Xi continue:

"Still, it's understandable.

"When the concubine was not a mother, she didn't feel anything, but now that she has the little enemy of Bofu, she makes the concubine worry all the time, how can you not understand the pain of the queen's ions?

"Alas, that time the prince beat the concubine, and the concubine couldn't figure it out for a while, and she was uneasy when she got the result that the prince was released.

"If you don't kill the queen in the end, won't that live up to the name of my king's generosity and benevolence?"

When the king heard that he praised himself for his generosity and benevolence, he was very happy, and when he heard her mention the costume, his heart was moved, and he said:

"It is very rare to praise a noble person who is reasonable. According to the nobles, what are the things of the day? ”

Bao Xi said:

"If this matter is a conspiracy between the queen and the crown prince in advance, then this person ......"

As he spoke, he pointed at Long Zixi with his hand:

"And what is the sin?"

It turned out that Bao Xi entered the palace in the name of Hong De's daughter, except for the queen and others, King You, the three traitorous ministers, Yang Pu, Ji Gang, etc., really didn't know that she was the baby girl back then, and naturally didn't know that Long Zi Sinai was his dear aunt and brother.

The king of Youwang was displeased, and said:

"The noble man said that the queen was excusable here, and said that this dragon son is guilty of something. Is it just for him to wait for him? I can't get over it. ”

When King Youwang said this, he already had the intention of easing.

Bao Xi said:

"Of course, this matter has to be settled.

"The concubine dared to intercede for the queen, so she pardoned the sins of the queen and others, and allowed her mother and son to see each other, which was also regarded as the concubine did a good deed on behalf of the uncle.

"But he wronged the queen, and changed the queen's name slightly, called the queen, and made her think about it, and was not allowed to leave the palace again, nor was she allowed to exchange news with the prince, and then restored the queen's name two years later."

The Youwang pondered for a while, and pointed to Long Zixi:

"What about Long Zixi?"

Bao Xi said:

"Concubine Guan this Longzixi, not to mention the high martial arts, and a little righteousness, it is also rare. Why not let it contribute to the country? ”

King You only said that he would lead his troops to fight, nodded, and asked Long Zixi:

"Yes, now that the border is unstable, are you willing to lead the troops to retreat from the barbarian soldiers?"

Long Zixi didn't have time to answer, but Bao Xi shook his head:

"Your Majesty, this is not the original intention of the concubine. Does the concubine mean that Your Majesty has forgotten about the ghost side? ”

King You suddenly understood, and said with a smile:

"It's rare for a noble person to think about this for me, and indeed, this matter is a headache for me."

It turned out that there was a very powerful Rong tribe in the northernmost part of the Zhou Dynasty, which the Zhou Dynasty called the ghost side, and it had also attacked the border for many years, which caused a headache for the Zhou kings of the past dynasties.

A month ago, the Oni Fang sent an envoy to Hojing, but he brought a few big dogs.

It is claimed that within one month, the Zhou Dynasty can choose warriors to fight with four of the big dogs, and if someone can subdue or kill the four big dogs with only a dagger, the ghost party is willing to surrender to the Zhou Dynasty, pay tribute every year, and no longer harass.

If no one can do it, the Zhou Dynasty must be a vassal to the ghost side, and every year it will pay tribute to property and a number of beauties.

The King of Darkness has no objections.

First, a few strong men were selected in the army to fight the four dogs, and all of them died on the spot.

A few warriors were recruited at a great expense, but they all became the meat of big dogs, and no one dared to try it again.

The one-month period is now less than ten days.

Youwang is at a loss, and when he hears Bao Xi mention this matter, he feels very reasonable.

If Long Zixi can do it, he will relieve his worries for himself, and he will do a great good thing for the country.

So the king of You, Ling Shi's father, introduced the matter of the big dog to Long Zixi, and asked Long Zixi:

"Do you dare to fight that vicious dog?"

Long Zixi did not hesitate:

"I'll meet those beasts when I go down!"

The king of Youwang was overjoyed, and immediately decreed:

"I want to praise what the nobles said is really a good word.

"Now I will pardon Shen Hou, the queen, the crown prince and others for their innocence, and allow their mother and son to see each other, but only for three days, the prince will leave the capital, and he will not be allowed to return again, and the queen and the prince will not be allowed to exchange news privately.

"The queen's change of name is played by the nobles.

"Ling Long Zixi fought the four dogs in two days, and if he wins, everything will be taken care of.

"If you don't win, you will be punished for both.

"Since you want to meet the crown prince, the queen doesn't have to accompany her here, just go back to the palace with the prince."

Everyone said:

"Yes!"

At that moment, King You led a group of people back to the palace.
