Volume 3 Northwest Look, Chapter 78: The Secret of King Qin
"Sure enough, it was him. Quietly Sixi said, "This prince is thirsty for talent, regardless of Hu Han, it seems that he has a bit of the style of a virtuous lord, and he serves under him, and his father's good martial arts are not in vain!"
He nodded calmly and said, "Seeing that King Qin fulfilled his promise, my father naturally didn't want to break his promise. Although he was very reluctant, he had to agree verbally, thinking about bringing Xu Shu into Cao Ying - without saying a word. He asked about his father's name and place of origin, and his father thought that it was really not a glorious thing to work for a different race, so he had an idea and dismantled the surname 'An' into the word 'calm' according to its meaning, and took this name. Saying that, he sighed and said: "Since then, Daqi has one less 'Anping', and Xiliang has one more 'Calm'." β
Long Shaoyang and Zhu Xibing secretly listened, and they both thought: "It turns out that this is the origin of the name 'Calm'. β
Quietly thought: "Dad, what about later?"
He said calmly: "After my father promised King Qin, he was very polite to me and treated me as a guest. My father lived in the palace courtyard, and he came and went freely, neither hindered nor monitored, as if he was not afraid of me escaping. As a result, my father was suspicious and did not dare to run away without permission. β
Jing Siqi said: "This King Qin is really an extraordinary person, just this mind and resourcefulness, and other idlers are beyond reach." β
calmly "um", and said: "King Qin is indeed a rare heroic person among the Hu people. There was a lot of admiration in his words, and he said: "After my father has settled down, he will try his best to find out the news of you and your mother." After some twists and turns, my father found a businessman who went back and forth between Qi and Liang to buy and sell, spent a lot of money, made up a lie, and asked him to find out the news. Half a year later, the merchant went and returned, and told his father that the imperial court had given the An family a bereavement pension, and that you had become an orphanβyour mother had been gone for more than a year. β
Jing Si had tears in his eyes and said, "At that time, the military department messenger told me and my mother that my father had unfortunately died in battle. The mother was shocked and sad, washed her face with tears every day, and finally couldn't afford to get sick, and after half a year, the person left. β
He sighed calmly and said, "Dad wanted to leave immediately and flee back to Daqi to see you, but after thinking about it: "The Daqi court thought that my father had died in battle, but after all, he sacrificed his life for the country and made his name famous, so you naturally have honor with you, child! Although my father was forced to be helpless for a while, there was no possibility of changing the facts. Dad doesn't care anymore, but what about you, child, you are not yet an adult, and the reputation of a traitor's son is enough to ruin your life! Not to mention...... What's more......" At this point, he stopped.
Jing Si choked and said: "Dad's good intentions turned out to be for the child...... But don't worry, Dad. After the death of his mother, the child followed his aunt, and although he was poor, he was not hungry, let alone later...... Later, the child met his stepfather......"
Calmly said, "Hmm." Dad couldn't rest assured of you, and asked the merchant to inquire about the information, and I heard that by chance, you were recognized as a righteous son by General Zhu. Thinking that I wish the general to be wise and famous in the army, my father's heart finally let go. But in the past 20 years, my father has been thinking about you day and night, and tonight I have a long-cherished wish and I am happy. With tears in his eyes, he took two steps forward and grabbed Jing Si's arms tightly.
Jing Si also grabbed his calm arm with both hands, and said happily: "The child never thought that after twenty years, he would still be able to see his father's kind face!" said as if he thought of something, raised his head to look at the night sky, and said: "Dad, the hour is not early, if someone finds out our whereabouts, it will be terrible!"
Calmly let go of Jing Si's arm, turned around his back, walked a few steps, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, child, Dad has already arranged everything." The people of Xiliang don't have to worry, in the Great Qi mission, except for one Long Shaoyang, the rest are not worried, but Long Shaoyang is already in a dream at this moment......
Jing Si was slightly startled and said, "Dad, what do you mean?"
Calmly turned around and said with a smile: "Before your mission arrived in Liangzhou, Dad began to plan to meet you tonight." I heard that in the mission, in addition to you, there is also a Donggong Zuowei named Long Shaoyang, who is very good at literary and martial arts, so my father arranged that gadget on top of the banquet, deliberately tested this person, and united several Xiliang generals to toast him repeatedly, just to get him drunk, and sure enough, when he left the table, he was already drunk and stumbled under his feet......"
Long Shaoyang heard it clearly from a distance, and then knew in his heart: "No wonder this person is at the banquet, he frequently toasts to himself, it turns out that he has other plans." I couldn't help but gasp, secretly glad that I didn't have a path.
I only listened to the calm and continued: "After the banquet, my father is still not very relieved, worried that this person will be at a critical juncture tonight and spoil my big business, so he arranged for the maid to go to the room with King Teng to inspect it. Knowing that Long Shaoyang had indeed fallen asleep, Dad came to your room, knocked on the window a few times, and lured you out. β
A chill poured down from Long Shaoyang's back, and he said in his heart: "No wonder the maid of Xiliang touched my face with her fingers, rubbing back and forth, it turned out to be a test of whether I was asleep, but fortunately I held back for a while and did not show my feet." β
Jing Sixi said: "It's still Dad who thinks it through." Tonight's incident, if Long Shaoyang knows about it, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not tell His Royal Highness the Prince, and then it will be a big deal. β
nodded calmly and said, "Child, what kind of person is this Long Shaoyang, even Xiliang's detailed work in Los Angeles has not found out the details of this person." β
Quietly thought: "Dad, when it comes to the origin of this person, it is quite cloudy and foggy. At the beginning, the child was ordered by his father-in-law to inquire, this person is a native of Haizhou, Daqi, this year's Shangyuan Festival in Los Angeles because of the lantern riddles, and the prince of the palace out of the palace acquaintance, married a brother of the opposite sex. Later, this person made a big splash on His Majesty's Halloween. β
"The section of the martial arts competition of the longevity banquet, my father has obtained it from the mouth of the Xiliang envoy. He groaned calmly for a while, and then said: "This person has both humanities and martial arts, and he is a rare talent! But this person is really very lucky, and he can actually marry the current prince Jinlan!"
Quietly thought: "Dad, is it still to come?!" he stepped forward and muttered a few words in his quiet ear.
Calm and his face changed drastically, and he rubbed his hands again and again, and said: "You say that this person is actually the illegitimate son of General Hou Wu, the general of the Dingbei Zhu Kingdom?
Quietly thought: "Long Shaoyang has the relics of Old General Hou in his hands-Moyu Xuanwu Seal, and there is the old lady Hou as a witness, so I can't help but believe it, even His Majesty is convinced, and he also said that this matter is related to the reputation of Old General Hou, and strictly ordered those present not to publicize it." Only the father-in-law seemed to be very suspicious, and the child asked a few times, but his old man always talked about him left and right, and did not want to say it explicitly. β
Long Shaoyang "chuckled" in his heart, and quickly sorted out the saint in front of the temple that day from beginning to end in his mind, and felt that all links were meticulous, and he was puzzled: Zhu Lark, an old fox, where did he see the flaws?
Just thinking about it, I only listened to a calm "haha" smile, and said: "I think that back then, the four great generals of the Great Qi Qingbai Zhu Xuan, but the general of the Zhennan Zhu State was the most cunning and wise, as the saying goes, all wise people will be suspicious, I can't imagine that after 20 years, I wish the general his temperament is still like this!"
Quietly thinking about seeing the lark in his mouth, he didn't know how to answer, so he changed the topic and said: "Dad, the child only said that he had no chance to serve your old man in this life, who knew that he was fortunate to be favored by God, you and my father and son reunited today, and the Daqi mission will still be in Liangzhou for a while, and the child just takes this opportunity to do his filial piety!"
After listening calmly, he stood quietly for a while, suddenly sighed, and said: "Child, you can't stay in Liangzhou for long, you have to think about leaving quickly! If you leave late, I'm afraid there will be unexpected disasters!"
Jing Si was clueless when she heard this, and exclaimed, "What did you say?" β
said calmly: "This is also the reason why Dad lured you out tonight - His Royal Highness King Qin has already designed a trap to bury the killer on your way back." If you don't take the opportunity to return to China in advance, I'm afraid that you will not be able to escape this fate!"
Jing Si became more and more ignorant, stunned for a moment, and asked, "King Qin, father, why did he do this?"
Calm and wry smiled: "This matter is a long story, and my father only found out later." For decades, King Qin has been secretly gathering talents for his own use, and his father is one of them, but he is actually accumulating strength in order to make a big treasure. Now that the Xiliang Emperor is underage and fledgling, the King of Qin is planning to take the opportunity of the marriage between the two countries of Qi and Liang, and set up an ambush on the way back to the Great Qi Mission, and remove all the missions, so as to provoke disputes between the two countries of Qi and Liang, and then add fuel to the fire in the country. β
Jing Si had already lost his words, and stood in a daze.
