Volume 1: Yuan Guo Chapter 24: Whoever is anxious first will fall off the horse first
24Whoever is anxious first will fall off the horse first
Yun Zhi and Pei Shun were angry with each other, but they didn't squeak.
Ah Yu had no choice but to explain: "It's a friend of ours, the young owner of Qingyi Villa. ”
Hearing that it was a friend of the rivers and lakes, Lu Yunsheng didn't ask much, just sighed, sat on the bow of the boat with his knees crossed and didn't speak.
It was late at night, and it was cold on the river.
Several people tightened their clothes, gradually leaned together to keep warm, and slowly took a nap.
I don't know how long it took, but the breathing of several people gradually became even.
After a moment, Pei Shun opened his eyes.
Turning her head sideways, facing Ayu's charming fox eyes, she was looking at him with a smile.
He was stunned, quickly turned around and closed his eyes, trying to pretend that nothing had happened.
"Su Pei!" She raised her hand and grabbed the corner of his sleeve, and there seemed to be some coquettishness in her low voice, "Why are you avoiding me?" ”
Pei Shun opened his eyes and coughed unnaturally, "No." ”
Ah Yu didn't believe him, "Why do you just want to take Yun Zhi away?" ”
Pei Shun lowered his head and smiled, "I like her." ”
"You ......" Ah Yu gritted his teeth, the tails of his eyes were slightly red in an instant, and his voice was lowered, "You don't know who she is?" ”
Pei Shun snorted, "I know." ”
"You know how dare you?" Ah Yu frowned, as if he didn't understand, "That person is crazy and can dig out your ancestral grave, why do you have to provoke him?" Not to mention ......"
She glanced at the sleeping girl on the side and lowered her voice, "The young couple are in love, do you have to come out and intervene?" You're idle! ”
Pei Shun smiled again, "You just treat me as idle." ”
"You!" Ah Yu looked at him angrily, and after a while, he held back a sentence: "I will help you collect the corpse!" ”
"Thank you." Pei Shun smiled and said lightly: "It's not certain who lives and who dies, and my family's ancestral grave is not so easy to plan." ”
Ah Yu pursed his lips, was silent for a while, and suddenly said with a straight face: "Su Pei, you tell me the truth." ”
Pei Shun glanced at the Lu family sisters in her sleep from a distance, and replied, "I do like her." ”
Ah Yu was stunned, oh, closed his eyes and stopped talking.
It was quiet for a few moments, until her shallow breathing evened out.
Only then did he dare to turn his head to look at her.
The emotions in his eyes rotated, and in the end, there was nothing left to do.
***
The boat floated all night.
The next morning, when Yun Zhi woke up to the noise of selling, he found that their boat had sailed into an inland river.
There are many vendors squatting on the shore on both sides, and the shouting and selling are coming and going, so it is not lively.
Yun Zhi rubbed his eyes, and saw that men and women were walking on the street here, and there were many women among the people who were setting up stalls, and there were occasionally a few elementary school children with cloth bags running by, and they were both men and women.
It was a completely different place than she had seen before, and it was like a modern world.
"Where is this? Why can girls go to school? Someone around her had already asked for her.
"This is my Great Lingyu Prefecture City."
The voice was extremely familiar, and Yun Zhi followed the prestige, and immediately showed a look of surprise.
"Pei Gongzi? You...... Are you from Lingguo? ”
Pei Shun was looking at the people walking on the shore, with no expression on his face, and only continued to explain: "My Daling has always pursued equality between men and women, women can not only study and do business, but also enter the court as officials and camps as soldiers. ”
Yun Zhi was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth, she didn't mention it in the "Zhongzhou Atlas", she thought that in this world, it was either as feudal and old-fashioned as Yuanguo, or it was the same as Yanguo, and the women respected the world, but she didn't expect that there was a third kind!
Lu Yunsheng was even more surprised, but she was not surprised because the two countries were different, but because of the place where they were now.
"Zhi'er." Lu Yunsheng quietly tugged at the corner of Yun Zhi's clothes and asked in a low voice, "Why did we come to Ling Kingdom?" ”
The two of them are from the Dayuan Anguo Mansion, and now one is the crown princess and the other is the princess Ning, and if they come to another country rashly, something big will happen if they are not careful!
But Yun Zhi obviously didn't understand her voice, she was still immersed in the shock and relief of Ling Guo's style, and replied casually: "Isn't this Ling Guo also very good?" ”
As he spoke, the boat came to shore, and someone was already on the shore to meet them.
As soon as a few people got off the boat, the group of people stepped forward and bowed to Pei Shun.
"Second son." The leader pointed to the carriage behind him, "The carriage is ready, and you can leave for Dizhou immediately." ”
Second son? This is called......
Yun Zhi squinted and looked over.
The carriage in front of Pei Shun looked very gorgeous, not only spacious and atmospheric, but even the wheels were carved with flowers, which was a world of difference from the one they had ridden in the Yuan Kingdom before!
Good guy, isn't this Pei Shun actually a rich second generation? Then she has really done a lot of wrongs along the way!
At this time, Pei Shun had already turned around and asked everyone to get in the car.
Lu Yunsheng grabbed Yun Zhi tightly, looking worried, she said in a low voice: "Zhi'er, you and I are not suitable to go to Lingdu Dizhou. ”
Yun Zhi had already stepped forward, and when she heard the words, she paused, and she quickly understood what Lu Yunsheng meant.
Now that the three kingdoms are at odds, it is very risky for the two of them, a crown princess and a princess Ning, to be in an enemy country, Pei Shun knows their identities, and they are from the Ling country, even if they are friends, but if he has any other thoughts, or they are discovered, it is not a good thing for them.
In Yuanguo, no matter what happens, at most they will run away from marriage, which is considered a crime of deception, but if they really go to Lingdu Dizhou this time, then they will be suspected of collaborating with the enemy and treason, not to mention the prince at that time, even if the king of heaven and Lao Tzu comes, she will not be able to keep her Anguo Mansion.
Although Yun Zhi still doesn't have enough feelings for the people and things in this world, Lu Yunzhi was born in the Yuan Kingdom, and she came out of the Anguo Mansion, so she can't do anything that endangers the homeland and the Anguo Mansion no matter what.
Thinking of this, Yun Zhi retracted his feet and smiled awkwardly, "Forget it, my eldest sister and I won't go, we have other things to do." ”
Pei Shun frowned, sent his subordinates away, and asked, "Where do you want to go?" ”
Yun Zhi naturally couldn't talk about the place he wanted to go, so he looked at Lu Yunsheng, "Eldest sister, where should we go?" ”
Lu Yunsheng did not hesitate, "Go back to Ming'an." ”
Ah Yu was surprised: "You still dare to go back?" ”
Lu Yunsheng frowned strangely, "Why don't you dare?" Those people went to Love Villa last night, not us, we must go back! Zhi'er, let's go! ”
As he spoke, he pulled Yun Zhi and was about to go back to the boat.
"Wait a minute!" Pei Shun stretched out his hand to block their way, his eyes were heavy, attached to Lu Yunsheng's ear, and he lowered his voice and said, "Crown Princess, stay here." I just want to save Sister Ling, I don't want her to be implicated in some people and die in vain, and I hope that the crown princess will not cut off her life. ”
Lu Yunsheng stared at him, "What do you mean?" ”
Pei Shun said in a low voice: "If the crown princess doesn't want to go to Dizhou, I naturally won't force it, you only need to wait here for three days to know everything." ”
His tone was sincere and serious, Lu Yunsheng glanced back at Yun Zhi, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, "It's okay, three days is three days, don't think about playing any tricks!" ”
Pei Shun breathed a sigh of relief, "That's nature. ”
Yun Zhi didn't hear what they said, and when he saw Lu Yunsheng agreeing to stay in Yuzhou City for a few days, he felt strange.
Pei Shun actually had a courtyard in this city.
After everyone settled down in his courtyard, Yun Zhi hurriedly ran to ask Lu Yunsheng what he said to Pei Shun, and she agreed to stay here.
Lu Yunsheng didn't hide it from her, and told her all about Pei Shun's words.
After hearing this, Yun Zhi immediately remembered what Pei Shun had said before-
"On the last day of September 942 in Zhongzhou, King Ning of Dayuan raised an army to rebel and was killed by the emperor in front of Chonghua Palace."
Today is September 27, and in three days it will indeed be the day when King Ning rebelled as Pei Shun said, if King Ning really rebelled, she, as Princess Ning, would inevitably be implicated, Pei Shun brought her to Ling Guo, really to save her life?
Yun Zhi thought of the dispute with him last night, and Fang Cai's speculation about him with the mind of a wicked person, and he couldn't help but feel secretly ashamed.
But it was she who lived the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.
As for King Nanin......
Yun Zhi didn't know what kind of emotions she should look at this matter, she had no feelings for him at all, she hadn't even met in person, whether King Ning killed someone or rebelled, she heard it, and she was just secretly glad that she ran out as soon as possible.
However, she has also worshiped heaven and earth, and people are about to die, and she still has some unexplained complexities in her heart.
***
Yuandu Luoju.
In the imperial city of Chonghua Palace, Emperor Huan Qingzheng was furious - the killing of the King of Jin had just been reported back to Luozhou.
The royal spy came to report, saying that King Ning ran to Yazhou in the middle of the night for some reason, sealed his throat with a sword, and killed King Jin on the bed, blood splashed all over the concubines, several concubines were stupid on the spot, and one was scared crazy.
When Emperor Huan Qing heard this, his face turned blue in an instant, and he dropped two pens, an inkstone, and a vase.
"Where is King Ning now?"
Huan Qing's eyes were furious, and his face was like frost.
"Imperial Tomb." Gu Panfei, the emperor's personal guard, spoke cautiously, "According to the report of the Gyeonggi Division, King Ning arrived on the outskirts of the city today, and then entered the imperial tomb, and has not yet appeared. ”
Huan Qing frowned, "What did he do when he went to the Imperial Tomb?" ”
didn't wait for anyone to answer, so he waved his hand directly, "Gu Panfei, take someone to the imperial mausoleum, and bring King Ning to see me!" ”
Gu Panfei received the order to go.
When I arrived at the imperial mausoleum, I saw my own unsuccessful cousin guarding outside the mausoleum.
Seeing that the eldest brother personally brought people over, Gu Zhuliu didn't dare to stop him, so he had to follow his brother into the imperial mausoleum together.
The young man in Xuanyi was kneeling quietly in front of a tomb, and a three-foot long sword was placed beside him.
Gu Panfei glanced at the name engraved on the tombstone, slightly stunned, and his eyes showed a little unbearable.
"His Royal Highness King Ning." After shouting this sentence first, he suddenly remembered that the person in front of him had long been unable to hear, so he gave his younger brother beside him a look.
Gu Zhuliu sighed silently, stepped forward and gently shook the hem of the young man's clothes.
The young man turned his head sideways, Gu Zhuliu pointed behind him, and gestured, "Brother is ordered to come." ”
The young man looked in the direction of his finger, and when he saw that it was Gu Panfei, he bowed his head slightly, then raised his sword and got up, made a gesture of invitation, and walked out by himself.
Seeing this, Gu Panfei hurriedly followed.
*
Entering the palace, the young man in Xuanyi stood quietly in front of the palace.
The emperor stared at him for a long time and didn't say anything, but his arrogance disappeared by half, and he retreated left and right, leaving only the Gu brothers in the palace.
Emperor Huan Qing's eyes were always fixed on the young man, but the words were said to Gu Zhuliu.
"You asked him, why did you kill King Jin?"
Gu Zhuliu hurriedly responded to the voice and gestured a few times in front of the young man.
The young man's eyes were faint and he raised his hand slightly.
Gu Zhuliu read what he wanted to say word by word: "Jin, Wang, harm, death, it, big, brother, ......"
Before he finished reading, Gu Zhuliu couldn't help but widen his eyes and looked at his brother tremblingly.
Gu Panfei frowned slightly.
The emperor was stunned for a long time before he spoke: "He, he said, what did he say?" ”
Gu Zhuliu hesitated, and repeated again: "Back to the king, His Royal Highness said that King Jin killed His Royal Highness Chengguang!" ”
The air is sinking into the dantian, the voice is powerful, and the words are clear.
The Emperor laughed, but suddenly became angry.
The newly sent inkstone was instantly thrown to Gu Zhuliu's feet, and with a bang, it shattered.
"Shut up!"
"Who allowed you to investigate this without permission!"
"What the hell do you want to do!"
"Are you still suspicious of me!"
"Huan Chengyao! You say, do you want to take this throne back! ”
The emperor seems to have forgotten that he could not hear.
Roaring at himself one by one.
Gu Zhuliu raised his hand slightly, and thought about translating these words to His Royal Highness, but fortunately, he was stopped by his brother in time.
The emperor was angry for a long time, but the young man in Xuanyi always looked at him indifferently.
Maybe he was tired, maybe he finally realized his gaffe, and the emperor finally calmed down.
He stared at the young man like an owl.
"Spread my will, King Ning has a perverse temperament, disregards his brothers, and immediately exiles Wangzhou, and is not allowed to return to Luozhou without the king's order!"
As soon as the words fell, Gu Zhuliu knelt down.
"Your Majesty!"
"Never so!"
Someone spoke before him.
Gu Panfei's body was almost attached to the ground.
However, before he could say the next sentence, the emperor was mad again.
"Why not?!"
"I am the emperor of the Great Abyss!"
"I need you to remind me if I can punish him?"
"Get out!"
"Get out!"
**
Out of Chonghua Palace, the young man in Xuanyi raised his hand to stop the Gu family brothers who were following behind.
Walked alone into the night breeze.
