Volume 2 The turbulent and dark turmoil is not settled Chapter 97 The eldest brother is like a father

Luo Kui pressed the forehead, just into the summer, Beigu sent an envoy to Qingzhou to meet the Emperor of Chu, asking to marry the princess of Yun Chu Kingdom, more and more disturbed heart, in the past, the surrounding countries sent to marry the princess to make peace, but now they want Yun Chu to marry the princess to make peace, it is really different from the past.

She shook her head and sighed, His Majesty's heirs are prosperous, there are more than 20 princes, but there are only two princesses, the eldest princess who died early is the daughter of Queen Yun Xiangxiang, and the little princess who grew up safely is the daughter of Xu Guifei, only she can go and kiss, but Xu Guifei must be reluctant, there are many clan daughters, but people's daughters are also people's hearts, which father and mother are reluctant to send out to marry and kiss, this matter has been noisy in the court palace for a while, Your Majesty has not made a decision, and the matter of marriage has been delayed so far. Thinking of this, her heart sank, and some ominous thoughts suddenly appeared, seeing that she couldn't get married, Kittani actually had the idea of using force to force each other. It's just that the Yunchu Kingdom has not been prosperous in martial arts in recent years, and it is not like the Beigu Kingdom to sit on the ground all day long, and the Yunchu Kingdom has no chance of winning this battle.

The commander of the Chatan army is a veteran of the battle, and the two deputy marshals are upstarts from a family of military generals. On the other hand, in the Yunchu Kingdom, veterans with rich experience in marching and fighting, old and old wounds, or dethroned, or into the ground, and the upstarts in the army are all very handy on paper, and the sons and brothers who are really practical but frightened, after a few battles, they either lost the battle but captured a few foreign women to come back to enjoy it, or they were frightened early and went home to be a rich idler.

In recent years, the lack of generals in the army has greatly weakened the combat power of Yun Chu State, fortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a bit of the courage of Emperor Chu when he was young, and he is not afraid of death and is willing to study, dozens of battles have been fought, although there are victories and defeats, but whether it is the courage of the art of war or the majesty of the army, it is not the same as before, and there is a faint tendency to approach the Hou of Guannei back then.

It's just that no matter how strong the national strength is, it can't stand up to a small battle in three years and a big battle in five years, not to mention that the Yunchu country is not as strong as before, the treasury is empty, and the outside is strong.

Luo Kui stared silently, she is a daughter, even if she has a thousand talents in the army, she can't go into battle in person, and she can't do anything about the war, she looked at Su Zi, her cold eyebrows were full of worry, and there was no trace of laughter:" What can be solved with a woman, why use a knife and a gun, not to mention that the generals of Yunchu Country are weaker than Beigu Kingdom, no matter how you look at it, this war has no chance of winning, Your Majesty will never easily send troops to meet the battle, and if you can't say it, you will still agree to the matter of Kittani Country and relatives in the end, but it is difficult to give up someone's girl. Su Zi, instructed the spies to keep an eye on the northern border, the slightest move in the country of the Valley, come to report at any time, you have to be prepared, if this battle is inevitable, you are afraid that you will have to lead the troops with the prince again. ”

Su Zi stuffed the peeled orange into her mouth and smiled easily: "I have fought dozens of big and small battles, don't worry." ”

The sword has no eyes on the battlefield, the three families of Shui Su Jing have fought on the battlefield for decades, buried in the iron and blood of two generations, and only then did they have the prestige of the Hou Shui family in the army today, and Su Zi is the disciple of the Hou of Guannei, the art of war does not have to worry about anything, and it is not difficult to transfer troops with this prestige, but it is rare that he not only has to arrange troops, but also to protect the safety of the prince, without the slightest carelessness, and even have to fight for his life when it is critical, Luo Kui lowered his head and thought: "Now staying in Qingzhou, how many people can be called." ”

Su Zi stared at it: "There are about three hundred people." ”

"The masters of the halls. ”

"Ten people. ”

After eating an orange, Luo Kui felt that it was not enjoyable, so she took another one and rubbed it slowly, but Su Zi went over and put it on the edge of the charcoal basin to bake, she pulled the corner of her lips and smiled, and then said in a deep voice: "After the matter of Wen Yuan is over, transfer two hundred shadow guards and five hall masters to the prince's guard, if the border situation is really unexpected, I am afraid that you and the prince will soon have to open the front line, so make preparations now, so as not to mess up your hands and feet." ”

Su Zi bowed slightly, his hands flew like flowers, a blue light fell on the plain paper on the square table, his fingertips moved slightly, but after a moment, the plain paper was full of words, he raised his hand to wipe it on it, and the plain paper immediately turned into a mutton fat white jade pendant, hanging on his waist.

Half a figure fell under the window, Su Zi got up and took a look, it was Du Heng and Jianchou who came with a knife, whispering, he bowed slightly, these two people have been trained for many years, and they can be on their own.

The narcissus in the blue and white porcelain thin tire square pot pulled out the slender and graceful green leaves, and a few white and semi-transparent buds were ordered in the middle, and they still wanted to open but did not open, but the sweet fragrance was already overflowing and intoxicating. Su Zi added some water to the basin and said contemplatively: "King Lin is afraid that he is going to make a move, as of yesterday, his spirit spy hall in the whole territory of Kyushu has been uprooted ninety percent, and the news will reach his ears in a few days, and he must be going crazy to retaliate." ”

Luo Kui bowed his head slightly, and smiled briskly: "It's okay, isn't there still you, if he really leads people to kill him at that time, then after you break off, I'll go first." ”

Su Zi choked fiercely, and rubbed her bangs helplessly.

Luo Kui smiled and coughed lightly a few times, and raised his eyes to look out the window: "Why hasn't Qing Gongzi come back yet, his important matter is even more important than his third brother's life, and he can't come back until midnight, and that's it, and I can't sleep well." ”

Su Zi hurriedly added a handful of orchid charcoal to the charcoal basin, and an inch-high flame burst out of the charcoal basin, crackling: "In this world, there are many people who are heavy on color and light on brothers, and there are not many empty blues." ”

Luo Kui raised his eyes and chuckled: "You too." ”

Su Zi snorted disdainfully, raised his hand and touched the roasted hot oranges, hurriedly peeled them off and handed them to her: "Eat something hot, save cough." ”

"I'm not only heavy on sex and light brother, I'm also heavy on color and light on friends, Su Zi, you'd better beg God, don't come out of the way with a beauty on that day, otherwise I will really ignore your life and leave with the beauty." As soon as the words fell, there was an empty laughter outside the window, and the voice was very low but implied a rare joy.

Luo Kui hurriedly jumped out of bed, put on a half-old moon blue tuanhua jacket, and took the royal blue peony flower pillow on the back of the chair, and sat upright, but his face kept laughing: "Suzi, I told you a long time ago, don't chew the root of your tongue after people, see how quickly this retribution comes." ”

Su Zi copied a thin ginger blanket and covered her legs, wrinkled the tip of her nose, and said angrily: "It's clear that you said it first." ”

Kong Qing pushed the door in, bringing in a chill all over his body, the tip of his nose was cold and red, and he roasted his hands for a while before he dispelled the chill all over his body, tilted his head and smiled: "I didn't hear it, even if I didn't say it." Su Zi sighed with a smile: "Carelessness in making friends, carelessness in making friends." ”

Luo Kui took the fire tongs, pulled out a few roasted chestnuts from the charcoal fire, picked them up and handed them to Su Zi, and said with a smile: "Okay, I roasted it for you purposely, just to gag your mouth, you eat slowly, your mouth is hot and foamy, but there is no medicine." ”

Su Zi smiled heartily, carefully brushed the chestnuts, poured from the left hand to the right hand, and from the right hand to the left hand, and repeated this many times before he opened it and stuffed it into his mouth, and said inarticulately: "Well, it is worthy of the child who I pulled with one hand, and I know that I feel sorry for me the most." ”

Kong Qing burst out laughing: "You pull it with one hand, why does this sound so awkward." ”

Su Zi gently stroked Luo Kui's long hair, gestured with his hand, and couldn't help but be stunned when he thought of the old things, feeling that the years were hurrying, and he was getting old, he said very seriously: "When I was eighteen years old, Luo Kui was born, and I worked hard to pull her from such a point to such a big one hand, isn't this the eldest brother like a father." ”

Luo Kui patted Su Zi with a gesture, and the smile that couldn't be hidden leaked out from the bottom of his eyes, like a bright spring, and the brilliance made people can't take their eyes off: "You mouth, when will you stop talking nonsense." ”

Kong Qing grasped the key point in Su Zi's words, and smiled weirdly: "Su Zi, you are eighteen years old and Luo Kui, so dare to ask you how old you are this year." ”

Su Zi let out a long sigh of relief, rolled his eyes and said, "Guess." ”

Luo Kui almost squirted tea from her nostrils, and couldn't help but want to tell Kongqing Suzi's age, but she saw Suzi squinting her eyes, as if threatening her not to say more, she gritted her teeth and endured it for a long time before she straightened her sitting posture, and said coldly with a solemn face: "The streets are clean." ”

"It's all clean. Suzi nodded.

Luo Kui surrounded the Xuanhu fur and slowly got up: "Let's go." ”

Kongqing didn't know what was going on, but he didn't say much, and followed the two out of the door.

In the dead of night, the whole courtyard was pitch black, everyone had already slept deeply, the courtyard door was wide open, Du Heng was guarding the door, seeing the three of them coming out quietly, he was busy carrying lanterns to lead the way, and led everyone to the courtyard next door.

On weekdays, there is only a small couple in and out of this house, who make a living by setting up stalls at the mouth of the alley, selling some food such as sugar gourd, roasted sweet potatoes and fried chestnuts in winter, selling some soups such as sugar water, mung beans, sour plum soup, and some seasonal melons and fruits in spring and autumn.

Kong Qing has lived in the Shui family for a long time, and he will meet this little couple in and out, and he has also bought some melons and fruits at the stall, but he has never had any suspicions about this house and this little couple, and at this time he raised his eyes and looked at each other, only to see that the little couple seemed to have changed their faces, and the honest appearance of the low eyebrows and pleasing eyes on weekdays was completely gone, only standing at the door with a cold and vigilant face, seeing Luo Kui coming, he knelt down on one knee and said respectfully: "Master." ”
