Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Decline of the Royal Family
The carriage stumbled all the way for a week, Qin Mu was uncomfortable these days, his hands and feet were tied and he couldn't move, the most important thing was that he had to be tied when he got on the large and small trumpet, and the man who took care of him didn't get tired of it or disliked it, just silently took care of them.
Qin Mu looked at the changes in the trees around him and guessed that they were going to the east, because these trees did not change much, it stands to reason that they could run thousands of kilometers in a week, if the plants span north and south were the most obvious way to distinguish them.
Two more days passed, and in the past two days, the carriage rested during the day and hurried at night, which was very abnormal Qin Mu guessed that he had already gone abroad!
On the third day, Qin Mu was taken to a classical mansion, where the architectural costumes were similar to those of the Tang Dynasty but had some differences.
The two of them were taken to the main hall and knelt down.
In the middle of the main hall, a bearded man in a brocade suit looked at the two.
"You are Qin Mu?" The man asked.
From time to time, Wu Zhengji observed the surrounding misdirections to find a route to escape.
"Yes, dare you ask your Excellency?"
"My name is Park Woo-sung, and this is Silla."
"Silla?" Qin Mu looked puzzled.
"It was a vassal state to the south of Goguryeo in the past, but in fact, the demise of Goguryeo was inseparable from them." Wu Zhengji explained.
"That's South Korea!" Qin Mu squeezed out a smile, "I don't know what to do with me?" ”
"Call Li Ruo."
The attendant next to him answered, and the words he said were indeed Korean.
In ancient Korea, the nobles of Seihoon used Chinese characters and even spoke Chinese, and in ancient Korean society, being able to use Chinese characters and speak Chinese proficiently was regarded as a high level of education and culture. As a symbol of knowledge and power, Chinese characters were widely adopted by scholars, aristocrats, and officials to demonstrate their social status and learning.
Qin Mu was sure that the status of the man in front of him in Silla was definitely not low.
"Who is Li Ruo?" Qin Mu muttered in a low voice.
After a while, a familiar figure walked in.
"Ruoqin! Why are you here? Qin Mu exclaimed.
Ruoqin smiled slightly, "Qin Mu, it's been hard all the way." ”
"Li Ruo, this is the Qin Mu you said who has surpassed Zhuge in intelligence and skills in Luban?" Pu Yuxing couldn't believe that Qin Mu, a hairy boy, was so powerful.
"Yes, my lord, I saw it with my own eyes."
Pu Yuxing was skeptical, "Qin Mu, you go down to rest first, and let Li Ruo explain it to you." ”
Then he got up and left.
Qin Mu and Wu Zhengji were untied, Qin Mu stretched his waist and instantly felt a lot more comfortable.
"Ruoqin, what is your true identity?" Qin Mu immediately asked.
"Qin Mu, I'm sorry to say that you tied it back, I am actually the widow of the Goguryeo royal family, after the destruction of the Goguryeo country, other clansmen fled to Silla and settled here, just now Park Yuxing is my cousin, he is the king of Ganghwa City with a different surname." Ruoqin explained.
"Oh!" Qin Mu seems to understand whether he understands or not, he is really the protagonist, and redeeming a woman casually is a princess of a declining royal family, which is similar to random card drawing.
"You saved me, and I want to thank you, so let's let us go back to Datang."
"I'm afraid this won't work, I heard from Luoyang that you have been wanted and offered a reward of 10,000 taels."
"It's over, I'm really a fugitive now, and it's a death to go back, Ruoqin, you're too impulsive, I'll go out after two years in prison at most, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to go back here."
In a strange place, Qin Mu naturally knew that the political environment of such a small subordinate country was very chaotic, and their king could only be called the king of the mountain, and several younger brothers under his hands were jointly managed by kings with different surnames.
Qin Mu guessed that the reason why this Pu Yuxing was able to be the king and the demise of Goguryeo was inseparable from the relationship, and it was not uncommon for the seller to seek glory.
"Don't worry, before that, your luggage, belongings and those equipment will all be transported to Jianghua City."
Qin Mu shook his head and sighed, "Ruoqin, you don't understand, it's not that you can do the same thing by moving the entire factory over, Datang is not a small country with a big fart that can compare." ”
"This Ruoqin naturally knows that Ruoqin just wants to kill you, so she introduced you to Park Yuxing."
Ruoqin felt guilty, she was only thinking about how to save Qin Mu at that time, she was afraid that Qin Mu would be rescued if she left, so she exaggerated Qin Mu a little in a hurry.
"Refer me? Hum. ”
Qin Mucai didn't want to help these white-eyed wolves, whether it was North Korea or South Korea, these two extreme countries were very unpleasant.
If he really helped them, then he would really become a traitor, and it would be almost impossible to develop in Datang.
"Ruoqin, I can't help that Park Yuxing."
Park Yuxing walked in with a sword, "Since you don't obey me, then you're useless." ”
The sword blade pointed at Qin Mu, and Wu Zhengji stretched out his hand to stop it.
"Kill or kill you, I've had enough of it here anyway."
"If you have a backbone, then I will fulfill you!"
"Wait! Elder brother! Can you please not be so impulsive! Ruoqin stopped.
Pu Yuxing withdrew his sword, "I was just testing just now, Qin Mu, you are very courageous."
I don't need you to help me make anything, I just need you to help me make a plan to be the only king of Silla! ”
"I can't lead troops to fight, Lord Park, you might as well find another job."
Pu Yuxing touched the sword and said unhurriedly, "When I went back to your house to get something, I found a little girl, who was crying and called a pear blossom with rain, so..."
"What did you do with her!" Wu Zhengji roared angrily.
"You're too despicable!"
"I didn't do anything to him, I just arrested him and locked him up."
Qin Mu clenched his fists, but he couldn't do anything but nod and agree, "Yes, I promised, I want to see Xiaoqing!" ”
Park Yuxing chuckled, "Okay, I hope you are really as divine as Li Ruo said, if it is useless, you will all have to die." ”
Qin Mu only glared angrily, he couldn't help him if he entered the bandit's nest.
"Qin Mu, don't worry, Xiaoqing is fine."
Qin Mu breathed a sigh of relief, "Ruoqin, you don't have to feel too guilty, I know that you are here to save me, and I will naturally do what I promised." ”
"Ruoqin, you can take us to Xiaoqing." Wu Zheng said eagerly.
Ruoqin nodded and led them to the side room.
Qin Mu observed the surroundings and found that the residence of this king with a different surname was not as good as his house, although it was a little smaller, but the layout and decoration were more exquisite, and there were flowers and plants everywhere.
Specifically, the climate of Silla is warm, but it is not a place to grow flowers and plants, after all, all flowers and plants will die in winter.
The three of them came to the side room and saw Xiaoqing.
"Xiaoqing, are you alright?"
Xiaoqing was ignorant and instantly cried when she saw Qin Mu and Wu Zhengji, "I'm fine, Brother Qin, brother, you can figure it out... It's all Xiaoqing's bad..."
Qin Mu took Xiaoqing into his arms and comforted: "It's okay, I don't blame you, our Xiaoqing is the best, you have done your best." ”
Seeing them reunited, Ruoqin was very happy in her heart, but now she can no longer blend in with them.
"Thanks to Sister Ruoqin, you can come out, haha we can do it wherever we don't separate."
Qin Mu and Wu Zhengji just laughed.
Qin Mu suddenly realized that there was no such term patriotism in the Tang Dynasty or even in ancient times, let alone a woman like Xiaoqing.
Ruoqin arranged the residence of Qin Mu and his party and came to Pu Yuxing's room.
"Li Ruo, have you arranged everything?"
"It's arranged."
Park Yuxing walked to the window and said slowly: "Do you remember when we were children playing at home? ”
"Yes."
"At that time, we were carefree, your father was the king of Goguryeo, my father was a general in the court, when Emperor Taizong attacked Goguryeo, your father was unwilling to leave and said that he would defend the country to the death.
My father knew that he wanted to preserve his strength and wait until the time was ripe to make a comeback, so he took me to Silla to join King Jiyong, so as to obtain a back cover, and King Munmu, the son of King Jiyong of Silla, unified Silla.
Now that Silla is in internal chaos, and the new king is only a ten-year-old child, it is a good opportunity for us to rise, Li Ruo, don't you want to restore the princess body? ”
Ruoqin's face is expressionless, she has been a singer for entertainment since she was a child, she has long lost her noble status, let alone any pursuit, she just wants to live a peaceful and stable life.
"I don't care if you want it or not, I'm afraid that the more than 20 years of Datang life has long worn out the ruthlessness in your heart.
If Qin Mu is useless, you can go to heaven with them to accompany my king. ”
"Don't worry, Qin Mu will definitely surprise you, I don't know why he is so resistant, but I hope you can show your gentlemanly temperament to associate with him, now that the land of Goguryeo has become a part of the Tang Dynasty, you should know that if you become the king of Silla, you will definitely be beaten by the Tang Dynasty, can you bear this beating?" Ruoqin analyzed.
"Hmph, now that Wu Meiniang is in power, she is a woman who is trying to steal Li Tang Jiangshan, this is a great opportunity, even if she dies, it is worth it." Park Yuxing said as if he were dead.
Men must make meritorious contributions, and now the situation is very good, and it is just a little bit of luck to check it, become the new king of Silla, get rid of the control of Datang, and directly enter Datang to regain the territory and encroach on Datang step by step, which is the pursuit of Park Yuxing's life.
He knew he couldn't accomplish great things alone, but he had to do it to pave the way for future generations.
"Yuxing, can't we live well?"
"You woman, I don't care about these things with you, I just know that if I have the opportunity, I will go all out and leave no regrets."
Pu Yuxing's eyes were firm, since he heard about Li Ruo's introduction to Qin Mu's deeds, he couldn't sleep at night, feeling that this was the military advisor he had been looking for, he was not only not an important talent in the Tang Dynasty, but also wanted to imprison and control, just to keep it for himself.
In this way, it seems that the Tang Dynasty is in a precarious situation, the cool officials are in charge, and the woman is the emperor, only one spark is needed, and the Tang Dynasty will be burned clean by a raging fire, and at that time, he only needs to wait for the opportunity to move, and get back all the profits lost by his ancestors.
