Chapter 438: Walking with Beauty, the Blade is Hidden

Jerutzech leaped lightly from the carriage like a white deer lightly across the meadow.

She tilted her head slightly and looked at Xia Jingyun with a somewhat direct and bold gaze, "You are the Marquis of Jianning of the Southern Dynasty?" ”

Xia Jingyun couldn't help but secretly start scolding in his heart after being slightly stunned, a Xia Yunfei and a Yelushi, what are you two going to do!

Don't you even know how to write a letter to me about such a big matter in advance?

What are you two talking about?

Yelushi, isn't this your precious granddaughter? She ran from Liangdu to Lieyang Pass and then to Swift State, don't say that you don't know anything!

The stunned look at this moment naturally became a familiar and classic performance in the eyes of Yeluzec, but fortunately, although she was pure and natural, she was not rude and spicy, just frowned slightly and coughed lightly.

Xia Jingyun was also interrupted by this cough, came back to his senses, and bowed solemnly, "Xia Jingyun has seen Miss Yelu." ”

Yelu Caiqi looked at the person he wanted to see the most when he came to the Southern Dynasty, and calmly replied, "Yelu Caiqi has seen Xiahou Ye. ”

Xia Jingyun smiled and said, "The journey has been hard, Miss Yelu, please go to the city to rest for a while." ”

Jerichich nodded, turned and went back to the carriage.

The carriage started slowly, and her maid on the carriage whispered: "Miss, this marquis of the Southern Dynasty looks weak, and he doesn't have the majestic spirit of our grassland men at all!" ”

Although Yelu Caiqi's knowledge is not as narrow as that of a servant, the environment in which he grew up since he was a child also feels that this powerful minister of the Southern Dynasty, who is rumored to be miraculous, lacks a little heroic and high-spirited spirit in addition to the tone of the book, which is quite regrettable.

However, she still spoke: "Hugh wants to talk about people behind his back, the Southern Dynasty is heavy on literature and etiquette, and the customs are not the same as my Liang, how can it be generalized." ”

The maidservant shrunk her neck, but she was not too afraid, and continued to smile: "Miss, if this Xiahou Ye shows friendship with you, what will you do?" Will you take a fancy to him? ”

Although the Northern Liang is not as strict as the Southern Dynasty, but with Yelu Caiqi's background, it is naturally not bad in these aspects, she is sitting upright, elegant manners, and said calmly: "Everyone has a love for beauty, I am good-looking, and it is natural for him to have preferential treatment, but don't think that people have any illusions about you, that is a shallow delusion that only ignorant women in the countryside have." ”

Yelu Caiqi looked at her and said slowly: "The Marquis of Jianning already has a beautiful wife and concubine, and he is a great person standing at the top of the Southern Dynasty, as long as he thinks, there are many stunning beauties flocking to him, so he will not be so unbearable, and at the same time he has his own pride. ”

When the maidservant heard this, she hurriedly nodded seriously, "Miss has taught you a lesson." ”

After teaching the maidservant, Yeluzech sighed in his heart.

To this day, my grandfather and father have not sent anyone to force me to return, indicating that they have acquiesced in their escape.

The reason behind this is to compensate, or to let her temporarily avoid the limelight of Liang Du, or even with any deeper considerations, she is too lazy to guess.

Anyway, it's out, so let's have a good experience, maybe I won't have a second chance to come here again in this life.

After thinking about it, the team had already stopped in front of the City Lord's Mansion.

Yerzech stepped out of the carriage and looked at the gorgeous building that was very different from the style of the beam, and shook slightly.

turned his head, but he didn't find the figure of Jianning Hou in the team.

"Huh? What about the Marquis of Jianning? ”

The Wudang military captain who escorted them all the way spoke: "Miss Yelu, Marquis Jianning has gone to do his own business, and he specially instructed the last general to entertain Miss Yelu!" ”

Jerutsech: ???

The maid on the side looked shocked and whispered: "Miss, you are really right, this Jianning Hou is really not an ordinary person, he has his own ethics and pride!" ”

Jerutzech turned his head to look at her, his eyes speechless with a hint of resentment.

Seeing Yelu Caiqi's hesitation, the Wudang army soldiers thought that Yelu Caiqi was dissatisfied with their arrangement, and felt that he was being slighted, and hurriedly said: "Yelu girl, don't worry, in the state pastor's mansion, I am also in the army, His Royal Highness King Jing is also here, and I will not treat the girl slowly." ”

It's okay not to say this, as soon as the name was mentioned, everyone in Beiliang shuddered, and Yelu Ceqi immediately looked at him, "Where did Jianning Hou go?" ”

The military captain said, "I don't know, it's heading south." ”

Before he finished speaking, Yelutech had already turned over directly on his horse, "Borrow a horse." ”

As he spoke, he skillfully grabbed the horse's belly, shook the reins lightly, and rushed out.

The maid behind him also quickly borrowed a few horses and chased after him.

This time, he was directly stunned by the military captain, and he was stupid for a few breaths in place, and then hurriedly ordered a team to chase and escort him, and he hurriedly ran into the state pastor's mansion to report to his son.

When he saw Jiang Yuhu, he was shocked by the magical scene in front of him again.

I saw that on weekdays, the horizontal knife was immediate, the cold face and the cold gun, killing the Beiliang people to throw away their armor and abandon their armor, crying father and calling their mother's own son-in-law, sitting on the ground at the moment, smiling like the two fools at the entrance of his hometown, the most important thing is that opposite him, a little girl with a pink carving was sitting on a bamboo chair, and was amused by Jiang Yuhu and giggled.

It's only been a long time since I saw him, why do I even have a child?

I haven't seen any other women here except for Jianninghou?

He swallowed, not knowing how to speak for a moment.

Jiang Yuhu also sensed that there was someone behind him, but he always acted as he pleased, and after teasing Guanyin, he handed her over to the trustworthy nurse specially found by the Qin family, and then got up and returned to his previous expression, "Why are you here?" ”

"Childe, Yelu Caiqi, the granddaughter of the king of Dingxi of Northern Liang, suddenly appeared in Lieyang Pass, General Jin and the Marquis of Xing'an did not dare to be arbitrary, so they ordered the last general to escort five hundred people to Yuyan Prefecture City, and handed it over to the general and the Marquis of Jianning."

Jiang Yuhu pursed his mouth, "Just leave it to Jianning Hou to dispose of, you don't need to add me." ”

"Ahem."

"What about people now?"

"Ran away." The lieutenant spread his hands and told him what had just happened.

Jiang Yuhu was also stunned when he heard it, "Do you say they are afraid to be with me, or do they want to be with Xia Jingyun?" ”

"Ahem."

"If you are sick, go get medicine!" Jiang Yuhu glared at him speechlessly, "Since you are chasing it yourself, don't worry about it, let him have a headache." You have worked hard all the way, go out of the city and rest in the camp for two days, and then return. ”

Waiting for the captain to retreat, Jiang Yuhu rubbed his chin, and it was almost time for him to turn off the sun.

——

"Childe, you are really at stake! Miss Yelu is so good-looking, the son didn't even blink an eyelid, and left directly, this heart is extraordinary! ”

On the way south, Xia Jingyun listened to Chen Fugui's seemingly touting words but actually reminded him, and glanced at him speechlessly, "What?" If I don't say anything this time, I only know the Pearl of Dongting, and I don't know the Pearl of the Grassland? ”

Chen Fugui smiled innocently, Xia Jingyun sighed, "Don't mention what I think personally, just say her identity and my identity, which is destined to be a simple love between men and women." I haven't figured out how to deal with it yet, so I'll let her stay in the governor's mansion for a while, and I'll think about it for a while. ”

Chen Fugui said with a smile: "Xing'an Hou is also willing, he has not married a wife yet, isn't this a good match sent to the door!" How can I still throw it at you like a hot potato! ”

Xia Jingyun shook his head, "He is a military general, and he is also a general of the border army, as long as the situation of confrontation or coexistence between the north and the south has not changed, how can he have anything to do with the relatives of the important ministers of the Northern Liang." This is also the reason why I turned around and ran, and I can't have any substantive involvement with this Yelu girl until the overall situation of the future is laid. ”

Chen Fugui's expression was solemn when he heard this, "Then why don't we send someone back to Beiliang in a hurry?" ”

Xia Jingyun suddenly looked stunned, was silent for a moment, and smiled, "I said why did the eldest brother send someone here to me instead of sending it back, no wonder no one from the Yelu family came to call someone back for so long, it turned out to be like this." ”

He sighed with emotion and smiled bitterly, "I've grown, I've grown up!" ”

Chen Fugui heard it in a fog, and was about to ask, when the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded.

They turned their heads and saw that Yeluteqi was in a heroic posture, taking the lead, with a team of maids and dozens of guards, and rushed in front of them.

She turned over and dismounted, looked at Xia Jingyun, and smiled lightly, "Jianning Hou said goodbye without saying goodbye, but what is inconvenient for the little girl to know?" ”

Xia Jingyun really didn't expect Yelu Caiqi to catch up, but after thinking about it carefully, he also miscalculated, let Yelu Caiqi and a group of Beiliang people stay with Jiang Yuhu, the killing god, in the state pastor's mansion, they might as well follow their own food and sleep!

As soon as he thought of this, he also got up with a smile, "Miss Yelu is serious, and her duty is to inspect all the counties in the state, and it is inevitable that she will be tired along the way, so she did not invite the girl to accompany her." If Miss Jerod wishes, she is naturally welcome in the future. ”

Yelu Ceqi nodded decisively, "That's right, the little woman came from afar, and she wanted to see the customs of your country, and there was Lao Jianning along the way." ”

"Whatever I work for, it's all Miss Yelu's own hard work."

He smiled slightly, "Then let's hit the road!" ”

Along the way, Xia Jingyun and Yelu Caiqi rode their horses one after another, stopping from time to time to rest for a while, chatting for a few words, Xia Jingyun talked about the style of this place, and the atmosphere was not too bad.

The maidservants and guards who accompanied him didn't notice anything, but Yelutsech, who had been taught a lot by Yelushi and Yerod since he was a child, was secretly surprised.

This young important minister of the Southern Dynasty is said to be a native of Surabaya Prefecture in the southwest of the Southern Dynasty, but he has almost a lot of treasures for the Swift Prefecture in the northeast, and this insight and steadfastness and carefulness did make her a little amazed, and even reminded her of her grandfather.

However, this somewhat positive impression soon disappeared because of Xia Jingyun's words.

When passing by a section of big trees, dense forests, and several ancient tombs on both sides, Xia Jingyun spoke: "Miss Yelu knows that there is a saying about this place in Guangyang County, and it has even spread to the state capital. ”

He pointed to the ancient tombs on both sides, "It is said that there is a large tomb in the depths of this room, in which the ancient corpses have become spirits, which have the ability to confuse people's minds and devour people's hearts to replenish their essence and blood, and there is even a fierce tiger who has become a spirit, obeying orders under its tent, and capturing people for blood food, and the local residents never dare to walk alone in the night." ”

Yelutsei's expression was indifferent when he heard this, "Oh, is it? The girl wanted to see it. ”

She looked at Xia Jingyun and smiled sweetly, "Marquis Jianning probably doesn't know that under my beam, sword, bow and horse, I have never heard anything about ghosts. ”

This. After reacting that Yelu Ceqi regarded him as a bad person who [took girls to watch horror movies], Xia Jingyun, who had no mind at all, smiled helplessly.

He was not angry, for a man of good looks and family backgrounds like Jerutzech was indeed faced with more temptations and disguises, and it was not a bad thing to be cautious.

However, he didn't say anything more, and when the sun set, after a whole day of galloping fast horses, they came to the outside of Guangyang County.

The officers and soldiers defending the city were shocked when they saw this battle from a distance, but fortunately, the Wudang sergeant sent out by Xia Jingyun to run in front understood the situation and verified the tokens, so that they could enter the city smoothly.

Then they came to the outside of the Taishou Yamen without saying hello and walked in directly.

When Cao Yuting, who was working at the desk, heard the movement and raised his head, the outstanding Jianning Hou had already stepped inside.

"Hurry up and excuse me!"

Xia Jingyun stepped forward quickly, supported Cao Yuting, who hurriedly got up and saluted, and said softly: "These days, you have arrived alone, the situation is difficult, and it is hard!" ”

Cao Yuting's eyes were red when he landed, "Hou Ye's words are serious, the imperial court has entrusted him with a heavy task, and Hou Ye has entrusted him with a heavy trust, and the lower officials should do their best to repay him, live up to the expectations of His Majesty and the Queen Mother, and not spoil Hou Ye's layout and overall situation in Yuyan Prefecture." ”

His thoughts are exactly the same as those two subordinate officials in the state city, being able to do things under Xia Jingyun is a rare opportunity for those of them who have no background, how can they not seize it and give excellent performance for the future!

Jerutzech stood outside the door, but he listened silently.

Obviously afraid that he wouldn't see the truth, so he rushed to him without saying hello, wanting to check the work attitude and ability of his subordinates, and wanting to catch the current situation;

The other person also knew this, but the two of them behaved kindly here, moved and wanted to cry, which was really hypocritical.

But then again, this is also the norm in officialdom, her own grandfather often grovels in front of the first emperor, and her father has been hiding for a decade or two, so after a while, her mood has returned to normal.

Xia Jingyun did not hide her existence, and generously introduced to Cao Yuting: "This is the granddaughter of King Dingxi of Daliang, Yelu Caiqi, the lord of Anle County of Daliang. This time, I came here in the name of the king of Liang Dingxi, to discuss further peace talks between the two countries. ”

After the two greeted each other, Xia Jingyun added, "We will act openly and selflessly, and there is no need to avoid the county lord of Anle, and I will say it directly later." ”

Cao Yuting was promoted from the bottom, and he understood it as soon as he heard it, that is, the most core things must be avoided, but you can pick a few things that are not so core but seem to be big things to pretend to be.

However, Yelutech is not an ignorant person from a small family, and when he heard this, he immediately said: "The two of you are discussing business, and the little girl will not be bothered here." ”

Xia Jingyun smiled and nodded, "In this case, Lord Cao will bother you to make arrangements, first ask the county lord of Anle to wash up and rest for a while, and then eat something together after we finish talking about things." ”

Although Yelu Ceqi knew that he should have avoided it, he saw that Xia Jingyun didn't even say a polite word, and his attitude of sending himself away was no different from sending the plague god, and his self-esteem as a top beauty was still somewhat hit.

After a busy day, Xia Jingyun took two documents and began to seriously discuss with Cao Yuting about the various new policies, carefully recording the various obstacles, possible problems, and various ways to resolve these local clans at the grassroots level.

In addition, some risks and problems that Cao Yuting was not sure of or did not know about were directly discussed and decided.

By the end of the conversation, it was already dark.

Cao Yuting slapped his thigh, "Oh, Master Hou, I'm sorry, we have forgotten about the county lord of Anle in this rise!" The lower officials are not thoughtful, and the Hou Ye forgives the sin! ”

Xia Jingyun also forgot some things in the discussion just now, but with his actions, he naturally remembered it, but he deliberately did not make arrangements in advance.

This reckless Beiliang noblewoman has caused a lot of trouble for herself, and she is not in the way of being hungry for half a meal, and she has saved herself as a licking dog when she can save it.

And listening to this at the moment, this Cao Taishou is also a wonderful person.

He smiled, "It's okay, let's arrange it quickly, after saying so long, everyone must be hungry." ”

Naturally, he didn't have to worry about the affairs of the entourage, it had already been arranged, and Cao Yuting quickly set up a sumptuous banquet in the Taishou Mansion and invited Xia Jingyun, Chen Fugui, and Yelu Caiqi.

Xia Jingyun said with a smile: "County Lord, when you go out, you are a little lacking in etiquette, I hope you will forgive me." If you are not used to it, you can also have your meals delivered to your room. ”

Yelu Ceqi shook his head, "Marquis Jianning is polite, follow the customs of the locals, and follow the host, as long as you don't dislike the little girl." ”

According to Cao Yuting's hometown, he would hardly eat at the same table with a woman, but the Marquis of Jianning did not object, and Yelu Caiqi had an amazing identity, so it was another matter, and he immediately invited everyone to sit down with a smile.

Along the way, Yelu Ceqi felt that the only thing in the Southern Dynasty that was far superior to the Liang without suspense was the diet of the Southern Dynasty, which was simply amazing, and he was hungry at the moment, so he immediately restrained himself and ate it without slowness.

Xia Jingyun filled his stomach shallowly, and chatted with Cao Yuting, "Recently, these big families in the state are still honest, right?" ”

Cao Yuting nodded with a smile, "Master Hou has made such a big move in the state city, where do they dare to jump, they are all honest!" ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly smiled, "Speaking of which, there have been some strange things in the city in the past two days. ”

Xia Jingyun raised his eyebrows, "Strange things? ”

Cao Yuting snorted, "I wonder if the Marquis of Jianning has heard rumors about the spirits of the ancient tombs in the northern suburbs outside the city?" ”

Yelutech swallowed his head in a painstaking motion, took a bite of a piece of fried golden and crispy meat, and raised his head in surprise, a pair of big eyes wide.

Tumulus? Weird? Co-author: Is this true?

Xia Jingyun snorted, "I've heard of it." ”

"The Yang family in the city is second only to the Hong family in the past, and now it has become the largest family in Guangyang County, but just the day before yesterday, something bizarre happened to the Yang family."

"The son of the Yang family has always acted a little dissolutely, and the day before yesterday, he took his beautiful concubine out of the city, and happened to pass by there, when his beautiful concubine was a little anxious, so he made it convenient on the side of the road. As a result, after returning home, when the night rested, in the middle of the night, they heard a strange scream, and the sound of the window colliding, everyone heard the news and rushed to the eldest son of the Yang family who was staying in the concubine's room, and found that he had been disemboweled, his heart and liver were gone, and the beautiful concubine who was in the same bed was gone. ”

Yelu Ceqi felt a cool breeze blowing in his back, his heart and liver were slightly cold, he couldn't help but shiver, and almost subconsciously reached out to grab Xia Jingyun's arm for comfort.

After hearing this, Xia Jingyun frowned slightly, "And then?" ”

"Then naturally, the Yang family was frightened crazy, and they invited Taoist priests to practice in the house yesterday and today."

Hearing this, Xia Jingyun pondered for a moment, and slowly shook his head, "No, no." (End of chapter)
