Chapter 447: Sisters are of the same heart
Chapter 447 Sisters are of the same heart
Saying goodbye to Renata, Hu Wei left the Garden in the Landscape. This time it was a meeting of sī people, and both parties did not bring too many people with them, and they came with Hu Wei, just a Zhebei.
Sitting on the horse brought by Jebel, Hu Wei recalled in his mind what Renata had said earlier. In the second half of the conversation, Renata's feelings are clearly bō moving. Hu Wei didn't know if Renata was intentional or unintentional, but there was one thing, Hu Wei could see that Renata was worried about him. She was afraid that he would suffer in the battle with Daji.
Alas, the situation in the imperial capital this time is really complicated. Even if he had the experience of successfully putting Gattuso on the throne once, Hu Wei was not sure that he would succeed this time. And as Renata said, even if she succeeds in making Avril the throne and the king of NV, how sure is it that Avril can do exactly what she wants. Before, there were seventy percent of Hu You, but now with the appearance of Da Ji, there are only fifty percent left at most. Maybe a little less.
Thinking of this, Hu Wei couldn't help but feel a little hateful. Who killed Gattuso this time? If Chu Zhu's reincarnation did it, where was their purpose. Until now, Hu Wei has not figured it out, they took such a big risk to kill Gattuso, and obviously got something. Judging from the current situation, Hu Wei did not find that they had any gains. Could it be that their purpose is just to make the Mandala Empire húnluàn?
After thinking about it for a long time, Hu Wei didn't come up with a reason, he felt that he should be able to guess the mystery. Everyone does everything and has a purpose. Hu Wei didn't believe that Chu Zhu and those people killed Gattuso just to write this matter in his diary, but unfortunately no matter what he thought, he couldn't think of the key to it.
This is not to say that Hu Wei is not smart enough, but he didn't expect that the restorers led by Chu Zhu did not intend to get any benefits here in the Mandala Empire this time. If Hu Wei can connect Gattuso's death with the death of Ouyang Putin in the Ningnan Empire, then he may be able to guess something.
Ningnan Empire.
Hu Wei's 'old friends' - Chu Zhu, Honda Guiyou, and Tong Yan sat down with each other at this time. None of them spoke at this time, and their eyes all stayed on the body of an NV person.
Who?
If Hu Wei was here, he would have been taken aback first, and then called out the name of this NV man - Isabel
This Hu Wei gave money, but because of the emergency assembly order, there were no NV people who could light incense lanterns. After that, he was able to get in touch with Ouyang Hanbing, also because Hu Wei mistook Ouyang Hanbing for her. She and Ouyang Hanbing really look very similar, almost carved out of a mold.
Chu Zhu looked at Isabel for a while, then nodded and said, "Prime Minister Honda, you can start." ”
Honda Kameyou respectfully saluted Chu Zhu, stood up and walked in front of Isabel. Isabel didn't seem to feel Honda Kamesuke's approach, and still stood there without any reaction, and if you looked closely, you could see that her gaze was dull.
Honda Kameyu looked at Isabel up close again, then reached into his arms, took out a black turtle, put it in his hand, put his hands together, and muttered something in his mouth.
Chu Zhu and Tong Yan both widened their eyes and looked at Isabelle. Compared to Isabelle's sluggishness, their eyes were worried, excited, and expectant, and indescribably complicated.
At first, Isabel didn't react, but gradually, her body began to tremble, as if she felt cold and shivering.
Honda Kameyu was not easy, beads of sweat came out of his head and face, and after a while, the entire secret room was already filled with the smell of sweat. Chu Zhu, who has always loved cleanliness, not only did not frown, but was obviously more excited.
After another twenty minutes or so, as Honda Kameyu put the black turtle on Isabel's left shoulder, Isabel's body stopped trembling, and a pair of beautiful big eyes slowly closed.
The secret room became very quiet, eerily quiet. A dagger appeared in Honda Kameyu's hand, and the flash of the knife flashed, not at Isabelle, but at his own left wrist.
A large amount of blood flowed from the cut wound of Honda Kameyu, and as if he didn't feel pain, he didn't even frown, and put his hand in front of the head of the black turtle on Isabel's shoulder.
This black turtle is not a living thing, and I don't know what it is made of. Honda Kameyu's blood, dripping on its body, was actually sucked in. ,
After a while, the wound will stop bleeding as the body repairs itself. At this time, Honda Kameyu will make up for himself again, so that the speed of blood flow is the same as before.
Three times in a row, when the bleeding stopped for the third time, Honda Kameyu also stopped feeding blood. On the ground, not a drop of blood could be seen on Isabelle's body. It's hard to imagine that the palm-sized turtle can suck in so much blood.
Kamesuke Honda's face was terribly pale. Blood is the foundation of life, and no matter how powerful a person is, he will also die if he loses too much blood. But come to think of it, he won't give himself to death.
He seemed to sit on the ground a little helplessly, but his mouth did not stop, and he continued to murmur something, staring at the black turtle in his eyes.
The black turtle seems to be a little shy, and its whole body slowly changes from black sè to red sè. As time passed, there were fewer and fewer black sès, more and more red sès, and finally the whole turtle became bright red sè, and there was no trace of black sè.
"It's done" Tong Yan snorted softly, and his face was full of ecstasy.
Chu Zhu didn't speak, but her eyes, I also shè with a scorching light.
Honda Kameyu finally stopped muttering in his mouth, got up from the ground with some difficulty, reached out and took the blood turtle, and put it in the palm of his left hand. With the Blood Turtle gone, Isabel opened her eyes. Her eyes were still blank, but there seemed to be something more than before.
"Who are you?" Honda Kameyu raised his left hand in front of Isabel and let her gaze meet the eyes of the Blood Turtle.
"Who am I?" said Isabel's eyes, a blank look, apparently forgetting who she was.
"You are Ouyang Hanbing, the eldest princess of the Ningnan Empire," Honda Kameyu gave the answer.
There was a struggle in Isabelle's eyes, and she tried to take her eyes off the Blood Turtle, but she couldn't.
"You are Ouyang Hanbing, the eldest princess of the Ningnan Empire" Honda Guiyou spoke again, and his voice was full of warnings.
Isabelle's body trembled, and finally spoke: "I am Ouyang Hanbing, the eldest princess of the Ningnan Empire."
"Very good, remember who you are" Kamiyu Honda let out a long sigh of relief, and sat unsteadily in his chair, sitting a little off, and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Chu Zhu's eyes were quick and he helped him at once.
"Thank you, princess," Honda Kameyu thanked a little weakly. His face was as white as a blank paper at this time, and he would be beaten as a ghost if he didn't go out at night.
"No, I don't. Chu Zhu shook his head, took a step back, and asked, "How is the situation?"
Honda Kameyu replied: "It's a little worse than expected, I really didn't expect that she has made so many preparations in advance, and she still almost fell short, her perseverance is too strong." ”
Tong Yan asked, "Then when can we take the next step?" ”
Honda Kameyu replied: "It will take another ten days or so before I can preliminarily control her." What do you think of the opportunity? ”
Hearing this, Tong Yan nodded and said, "Then we'll see if there is any chance to start in ten days." This time our nemesis didn't come. We can take it easy. As long as we succeed in replacing Ouyang Hanbing, the Ningnan Empire will be ours. I'm really looking forward to that day."
Chu Zhu also said: "Prime Minister Honda, you can rest well for the time being." The rest, Elder Tong and I will take care of it."
Ouyang Shuixian was very sad during this time, she hadn't eaten for three days. sat in front of Ouyang Putin's coffin without saying a word every day.
"Rou'er, cry if you want to" Ouyang Hanbing stroked Ouyang Shuixian's hair, and shed tears before speaking. The death of her father came too suddenly, not to mention Ouyang Shuixian, even she was difficult to accept.
Ouyang Shuixian shook his head lightly and said, "Rou'er promised Brother Hu Wei not to cry, Rou'er didn't cry."
Ouyang Hanbing really didn't know how to face Ouyang Shuixian's strength, she knew the agreement between Ouyang Shuixian and Hu Wei, but she also knew that Hu Wei asked her not to cry, not referring to the current situation.
Alas...... In fact, it is much better to cry for a while now than to pretend to be strong. If he could, Ouyang Hanbing really wanted to throw himself into Hu Wei's arms at this time and cry well, instead of pretending to be strong to talk about such and such things with those ministers with a heart full of sadness
"Eldest sister, did you say that Brother Hu Wei would come?" Ouyang Shuixian looked at Ouyang Hanbing expectantly.
He ...... Yes. "Ouyang Hanbing originally wanted to tell Ouyang Narcissus, but Hu Wei probably won't come this time. She had already received news that the emperor of the Mandala Empire, Gattuso, was also dead. According to the decree of the Mandala Empire, an official of Hu Wei's level must attend the funeral. ,
Ouyang Shuixian bit his mouth and said, "After Brother Hu Wei comes, I will definitely ask Brother Hu Wei to help me find out the cause of my father's death." My father's health has always been so good, it is impossible to say that he died of illness. Those hateful imperial doctors are really useless. Hmph"
Also at the age of twelve, Ouyang Narcissus had the same reaction as Avril. Like Avril, she did not believe that her father's death was due to illness. When she received the news of Ouyang Putin's death, she thought of this even earlier than Ouyang Hanbing, and immediately ordered the imperial doctor to thoroughly investigate the cause of Ouyang Putin's death.
It's a pity that today's science and technology are really too backward, and there are no anatomical and pathological things here. Even if it's a doctor, there's nothing they can do about it.
Ouyang Hanbing really didn't expect that Ouyang Shuixian had such strong confidence in Hu Wei. Perhaps in her xiǎoxiǎo heart, she has already taken Hu Wei as the pillar of the jīng god.
Sighing in his heart, Ouyang Hanbing persuaded: "But you haven't eaten for three days, if your brother Hu Wu knows, he will definitely be angry." You don't want to make him angry, right, I've got some lotus seed soup for you, you can go eat some."
Ouyang Shuixian thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay then, but you also have to eat some eldest sister." You have lost weight in the past few days, let Brother Hu Wu see it, he must blame me for not taking care of you, but I promised him to take care of you."
Ouyang Hanbing looked at Ouyang Shuixian with the appearance of an adult xiǎo, and asked movingly: "Rou'er is so good, thank you for taking care of me, then the eldest sister will accompany you to eat some" Compared with other sisters, this most xiǎo sister has to be sensible too much.
Hu Wei's name seems to have some kind of magical power, and the mention of his name gives both sisters strength. Although the food was tasteless, they still drank the lotus seed soup separately.
After eating, Ouyang Narcissus returned to Ouyang Putin's coffin and sat silently. Every time she thought of her father's love for her when he was alive, she wanted to cry sadly. But she didn't cry, because she promised Hu Wei that she wouldn't cry in the future. She told herself that she had to be strong.
Ouyang Hanbing sat with Ouyang Shuixian for a while, put on the pillar incense, and left the mourning hall. As the successor to the Empire, she has so much to do. Whether she wants it or not, she has to do it, and it's her responsibility.
As time passed, Ouyang Narcissus gradually accepted the fact that Ouyang Putin had passed away. She no longer guarded the coffin every day, but came to the front hall to assist Ouyang Hanbing in handling some affairs.
Ouyang Shuixian was only twelve years old, and she had not studied government affairs before, and she couldn't help Ouyang Hanbing in most things. However, there is one thing she can help, and that is to receive envoys from various countries on behalf of Ouyang Hanbing.
Since the Ningnan Empire is an economic powerhouse, this time Ouyang Putin's death, a lot of people from all countries came. Ouyang Hanbing had to deal with them every day, which was a headache. Because those people repeat the same thing every day, but they want to lose her too much time. She now only sleeps four xiǎo hours a day, but there is still not enough time.
At the beginning, Ouyang Shuixian offered to help receive envoys from various countries, but Ouyang Hanbing was not very relieved. Ouyang Shuixian is the eighteenth princess, and she is completely qualified in terms of identity, but her age is too xiǎo, she is just over twelve years old, and Ouyang Hanbing is afraid that something will happen to her. In the past, she was the most troublesome.
But after seeing Ouyang Shuixian try to receive one or two less important envoys, Ouyang Hanbing relieved himself. Because Ouyang Narcissus seems to have grown up overnight, and she is comfortable with the work of reception, Ouyang Hanbing will also give her the responsibility for this work, so that she can also spend more time dealing with other things.
Sometimes, Ouyang Hanbing would also feel strange, because as far as she knew, no one had taught Ouyang Narcissus these things at all, how did she learn them.
In fact, Ouyang Hanbing didn't know that Ouyang Shuixian learned this matter of treating people and things from Hu Wei. She stayed by Hu Wei's side for almost half a year. Because she admires Hu Wei very much, she almost haunts Hu Wei at every opportunity.
Hu Wei was born in the rivers and lakes, and it is a basic practice for receiving people and things, and he has been fighting with the third-rate Nine Sects for thirteen years, and there are probably not many people in the entire Tianfeng Continent who do it better than him. Ouyang Shuixian followed Hu Wei's side, from the princes and ministers, to the ordinary people, and also saw a lot, and naturally, he learned Hu Wei's set. ,
The two sisters divided their labor, each in charge of a piece, and gradually smoothed out the movement brought about by Ouyang Putin's sudden death. In a few days, after Ouyang Putin is buried, Ouyang Hanbing will ascend the throne as the king of NV according to the laws of Ningnan. Because she, the first successor to the throne, has already been determined by Ouyang Putin, and the princes of various countries and the ministers of their own countries know and recognize it, so her ascension to the throne will not be as húnluàn as the Mandala Empire.
Moreover, the Ningnan Empire has a very good management system, the military generals manage the army, the civilian officials manage the people, the division of labor at all levels is meticulous, and everyone knows what they should do. Unlike the Mandala Empire, where there are only military generals and no civil officials, the weather is one foot shorter, and there are too many officials of the same level, and sometimes they don't know who should do what. When there is interest, everyone rushes up together, and if there is no benefit, they kick the ball with each other, and no one is in charge.
If all of them are smooth, with Ouyang Hanbing's rule, it won't take long for the Ningnan Empire to return to normal. However, things are not as easy as people look like, you want to do well, but there are people who want to make trouble.
When Ouyang Hanbing and Ouyang Shuixian were working separately for the sake of the empire, a huge dark cloud was slowly pressing on them. And they were not alert at all.
Tomorrow is the day when Ouyang Hanbing ascends the throne, and Ouyang Narcissus plans to give Ouyang Hanbing some blessings. The relationship between her and Ouyang Hanbing was originally good, and after this tribulation, the relationship was even better. Even if you enter Ouyang Hanbing's bedroom, you don't need to report it.
Ouyang Narcissus entered Ouyang Hanbing's room, but she didn't see anyone, which couldn't help but make her a little strange. Because according to habit, Ouyang Hanbing should be removing makeup at this time. Ouyang Narcissus also helped Ouyang Hanbing remove her makeup and lived with Ouyang Hanbing, she knew Ouyang Hanbing's sitting time very well.
"Where will it go?" Ouyang Shuixian walked around the room, and she found that the makeup remover was ready, and it was placed on the dresser, but there was no one to see.
"Could it be that you are going to take a bath?" Ouyang Shuixian thought about it and decided to go to the bathroom to have a look.
"How did you get in?" Ouyang Shuixian had just started when he heard a cold voice behind him.
Ouyang Shuixian was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at the man, it was Ouyang Hanbing, there was nothing wrong. Ouyang Shuixian didn't think so much, so he walked over. But what she heard was a voice that chilled her heart.
"Go out, no one will come in without my command."
