Chapter 219: Swords and Soldiers Meet
The night of early winter always falls very early, and before dinner is served, it is dark. The people of the eldest son of the Zhao family surrounded the prince's mansion, and although Mother Zhong had already asked someone to break out to find Jing Zhaoyin to report the news, she had not come back until now. I don't know if he was detained by the eldest son of the Zhao family, or by Lan Chengjie.
Mother Zhong held a big red wind hair cloak in her hand and walked around the courtyard: "Niangniang, why are you still so unhurried? It's dark, and Jing Zhaoyin's people haven't come yet." If the people of the Zhao family really come in, we may not have the upper hand. Do you want to find a few people to go to the Nine Gates Defense Division to move the rescue troops? Or, go to the Sixth Master?"
A small purple clay pot has been drunk. Yuan Xi lifted the teapot, and a drop of residual tea hung at the spout for a while, never drip into the teacup.
"Has Concubine Zhao finished dressing up?" Yuan Xifang got out of the teapot and asked.
"It's good, but Concubine Zhao is very timid, one moment she said that her legs were weak and she couldn't walk, and she said that the wound on her back hurt and wanted to rest. Mother Zhong glanced into the room and snorted angrily: "If you want her to do something bad, she will be a trick, and now she is just asking her to go out to persuade the Zhao family to retreat, and she will be scared like this." ”
Yuan Xi smiled disapprerovingly, Zhao Kezhen was just afraid of being used as a shield by herself. Her brother's temper is notoriously violent, and a little spark can ignite a skyrocketing fire, no wonder Wei Yuanjia will look for him when he sows discord. If Zhao Gongzi can't suppress his anger and shoots ten thousand arrows, he may not be able to take care of his good sister.
Yuan Xi stood up, took the cloak in Zhong's mother's hand and draped it on his body, wrapped his body tightly, revealing only a snow-white hand, and a yellow and clear tired silk gold bracelet was half-hidden on the cuffs, making it more and more white.
The sky was getting dark, and a few snowflakes fell, Won-hee stretched out his hand, and the snowflakes fell, melted in an instant by the warm palm.
"Let's go, let's go meet Grand Master Zhao. ”
Mother Zhong stepped forward to stop her and shook her head: "Niangniang, look at the slave maid, let's wait, at least we have some troops in our hands before we can go out to see him." What if the son of the Zhao family hurts you without a head?"
"He didn't dare. Yuan Xi said categorically.
"Hey, my good master, he even dares to surround the Prince's Mansion, what else can't he do?" Mother Zhong grabbed Yuanxi's arm: "Let's wait a little longer, maybe the sixth master has received the news and is coming here." ”
Yuan Xi didn't want to rely on anyone, so he pushed away Zhong's mother's hand and walked towards the main gate of the prince's mansion.
The eldest prince of Zhao turned his horse around the gate of the prince's mansion for a long time, and he never dared to break in. Wei Yuanjia was a little anxious, but it was not easy to say it directly, everyone knew in their hearts that once they broke into this door, it would be difficult to wash away the charge of rebels for the rest of their lives.
Zhao Dagongzi rubbed his ears and looked down at Wei Yuanjia: "Auntie, how is it, do you want to add some clothes?"
Wei Yuanjia's heart warmed, and he shook his head with a light smile. Grand Prince Zhao turned his back and looked at the plaque on the door of the Prince's Mansion. Wei Yuanjia looked at the back of Zhao Dagongzi, and a pleasant smile overflowed from the corner of his mouth. When he wore armor with the prince, he was also so domineering and chic, but since he was designed by Wei Yuanxi to lose his male roots, he has never touched the armor again.
A silver-white armor has been locked in a sandalwood box, and the lock cylinder has gradually become astringent, if it is not for someone to wipe it every day, a thick layer of dust will accumulate on the surface of the box. Thinking of this, Wei Yuanjia felt disillusioned for a while, her husband, the man who could write to settle the world and martial arts to settle the world, seemed to have evaporated in the world overnight.
Yuan Jia rubbed his hands, his eyes were still wandering on the back of the eldest prince of Zhao, such a wide back, enough for himself to lie on it, right? The prince of the Zhao family has not yet married his wife, but he has already received more than a dozen singers, and it is said that all of them are alluring to the country and the city. Wei Yuanjia stroked his cheek, he is not yet twenty years old, and he has a lot of youth to squander, do you really want to guard a eunuch to death?
I heard that other palaces are all raised or male pets, even Zhao Shangshu's family is no exception, the former Zhao Shu, isn't it Zhao Gongzi's child?
Xiao Rongshen didn't like it.
Even, all the men in his house, except for him and the housekeeper Shaosheng, wore a kind of pants made of thin iron skin, and there were thin copper locks the size of knuckles hanging on them, just for fear that the subordinates and girls in the house would give each other privately.
Yuan Jia was thinking about it, when he suddenly heard the door of the Prince's Mansion creak, Wei Yuanxi was wearing a red jacket and looked beaming.
When Zhao Dagongzi came, it was just after noon, and now it was almost evening, and the fire in his stomach was consumed by the swishing cold wind.
"Crown Princess, are you finally out?" The prince of the Zhao family stepped forward and took a torch from his subordinate.
Won-hee glanced down at the thick bales of hay laid under the steps. The torch in Zhao Gongzi's hand was dripping with tung oil from time to time, although it was possible to ignite the hay in front of him.
"Zhao Gongzi, where are you singing?" Yuan Xi finally spoke.
"Don't talk nonsense, hand over my sister!" Zhao Gongzi waved the torch in his hand and pointed to the haystack on the ground: "See, if you don't hand over my sister with a cup of tea, I will immediately burn the prince's mansion!"
"What a big breath. Yuan Xi smiled slightly: "Since the founding of Great Chu, there has never been a person who can have the courage of Zhao Gongzi and dare to attack the prince's mansion with only a hundred government soldiers." ”
"You don't talk nonsense, if my sister has a good one today, the master will fight with you to break the net. ”
"Do you know who the prince is? That is the prince of the country, and if you dare to attack the prince's mansion, it is no different from rebellion. This sect master can cut you first and then kill you, but it will take time for a stick of incense. ”
Wei Yuanjia was stunned, these two people were more arrogant than the other, but they didn't seem to have a good understanding ability, and what they said was not a thing at all. She wanted to remind Zhao Gongzi, but it happened that Yuanxi's gaze had already collided with her, Wei Yuanjia shuddered, and subconsciously flashed behind Zhao Gongzi's horse.
"Yo, there's an acquaintance here. Eldest sister, what are you doing hiding behind Zhao Gongzi? Come and see me, and bring so many soldiers, I don't know, I still think that the eldest sister is trying to provoke Zhao Gongzi to rebel. Yuan Xi glanced coldly in Yuan Jia's direction.
Yuan Jia was sarcastically ridiculed by Yuan Xi, and he couldn't get off the stage, so he stood up hesitantly. plucked up his courage and shouted: "Wei Yuanxi, you don't come to this set, who is your eldest sister? You killed my mother, I haven't settled this account with you yet! To tell you the truth, I came to fight with you today, but what a good girl Sister Zhen is, she was harmed by you like that! You are still embarrassed to make a big fuss here! I don't know what to be ashamed of!"
Yuan Xi covered his mouth and pretended to laugh arrogantly: "Eldest sister, what do you mean that I have harmed Concubine Zhao? Everyone is a woman, what can I do to her? I am not a prince." ”
Wei Yuanjia's face twitched, he was choked by Shengsheng, and he didn't say anything for a long time. Zhao Dagongzi hurriedly took over the conversation and said: "The surname is Wei, you don't pretend here, you cut off my sister's tongue and gouged out her eyes, do you think our Zhao family will easily endure this account?"
Yuan Xi pretended to be surprised and looked at Mother Zhong, and then looked at Zhao Dagongzi: "Zhao Gongzi is afraid that I heard it wrong, I usually don't even dare to kill a chicken, how can I hurt Concubine Zhao?"
"Nonsense, nonsense, nonsense!" Zhao Dagongzi roared angrily: "Don't hand over my sister yet!"
Yuan Xi snorted disappreciatively: "Mother Zhong, ask someone to invite Concubine Zhao out." ”
The two maids carried Zhao Kezhen out of the crown princess, Zhao Kezhen didn't know what was going on, so she was so afraid that she shrank back, and she couldn't stop shouting: "Big brother, I'm Zhen'er, the sword has no eyes, your subordinates are merciful!"
Zhao Dagongzi was stunned for a moment, can he speak, can he recognize himself, he glanced back at Wei Yuanjia, and hurriedly jumped off the horse.
"Go back!" The soldiers of the Prince's Mansion waved their swords in their hands and forced Zhao Gongzi to retreat again and again: "Dare to take a step forward, there is no mercy for killing!"
"Concubine Zhao, stand on the steps and let your brother see clearly. Yuan Xi glanced at Zhao Kezhen aimlessly.
Zhao Kezhen nodded, stood on the steps honestly, and muttered in her mouth: "Big brother, don't let go of the arrow!"
There are so many torches that half of the sky is illuminated, and it is not difficult to see that the person in front of him is his sister Zhao Kezhen. Zhao Dagongzi rubbed his eyes: "Zhen'er, are you okay?!"
"I ...... What can be the matter?" Zhao Kezhen didn't dare to tell the truth after all. She glanced at Wei Yuanjia, then at Zhao Dagongzi, and hesitated: "Big brother, how did you get together?"
"I, she ......" Zhao Dagongzi was speechless for a while, and only said after a while: "Aunt Wei sent a tongue and a pair of eyes to the house, I thought you were killed, that's why!"
"Grand Master Zhao, can you see clearly?" Yuan Xi asked sharply, "Is it Concubine Zhao herself?"
Zhao Dagongzi looked at Wei Yuanjia helplessly.
Yuan Jia was in a hurry, and the dog jumped over the wall and rushed to Zhao Gongzi's side and said: "Wei Yuanxi, this is your trick! You clearly said that those things were cut from Concubine Zhao's body! Are you setting such a big trap just to deceive Zhao Gongzi and bear the charge of rebellion in vain!?"
"Aunt Wei, you don't have to fight here, what the sect master said is clear, the thing is what Concubine Zhao asked me to bring to you. How could this sect master ever say that it was cut off from Concubine Zhao?" Yuan Xi sneered: "Set up a situation, I'm afraid you thief shouting to catch a thief! You are a concubine with the prince, and you are not on good terms with the prince and the prince, this is a matter that everyone knows." Shouldn't he be jealous of Zhao Shangshu's family and the prince's mansion and deliberately frame Zhao Mansion?"
"You!" Wei Yuanjia couldn't say it, so he turned to smile coldly: "Wei Yuanxi, don't you know who is beating back? You are bullying my sister Kezhen so much, isn't it just to let me misunderstand that you cut off Sister Kezhen's tongue? In the morning, I made an appointment with Sister Kezhen, but it was you who came, and you dare to say that it was not a trap set by you!"
Wei Yuanjia stared at Zhao Kezhen and said loudly: "Sister Kezhen, you are in front of your eldest brother, you tell the truth, is Wei Yuanxi controlling you behind your back?"
