Volume 3 Northwest Look, Chapter 81, Female Zhuge
Long Shaoyang and the three of them followed behind the Great Qi guards, and when they came to the room where the prince Xiao Minglong was staying, they found that in the huge room, in addition to a few guards and palace people serving around them, there was only one person pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back, and it was the prince Xiao Minglong.
Long Shaoyang and Zhu Xibing were slightly startled, glanced at each other, and thought: "Only the crown prince Xiao Minglong is alone, could it be that Jing Si has already left to return to China?" This action seems to be too fast. β
The messenger guard said loudly, "His Royal Highness the Prince of Qiqi, His Royal Highness King Teng and the left guard of the East Palace have arrived with General Long", and Long Shaoyang and the three of them hurriedly saluted.
When the prince Xiao Minglong heard the sound, he turned around, held his hands weakly, and said happily: "You are here, I have something important-" As he spoke, he suddenly saw a beautiful young woman in a red shirt standing next to the two, he was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Oh, who should I beβit turns out that the daughter of the old master's family has traveled thousands of miles and has been secretly protecting, no wonder I feel a little familiar." β
Zhu Xibing expected that Xiao Minglong had already known about her disguised as a man and mixed into the wedding team, but along the way, she pretended not to know and turned a blind eye. If it is about the cause, it is the same as His Royal Highness King Teng-"
Before she finished speaking, Xiao Yuanying had already said, "Ah?! It's the same as me?"
Zhu Xibing raised his eyebrows, looked at Xiao Yuanying and said: "Yes, this trip to Xiliang, like His Royal Highness, I want to see the excitement and have a long experience." β
When Xiao Yuanying heard this, he touched his head and said, "In this way, there is indeed some truth and some truth. β
Zhu Xibing didn't pay attention to it anymore, turned to the crown prince Xiao Minglong, and said: "On this way, Xibing is afraid that there is something rude, and please don't be surprised by His Royal Highness the prince!"
Xiao Minglong said with a smile: "How can I be surprised? Just now I was worried about the weak strength of the people around me, and now there is suddenly a female Zhuge , and I am too late to be happy." β
Zhu Xibing hurriedly saluted and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so fond of it, Xibing will never dare to do it!"
Xiao Minglong gave him a false support, glanced at Long and Xiao, and said with a wry smile: "I have recruited you here today because I have an important matter to tell you." General Jing Si'an, the deputy envoy of the bridal mission, received a letter from home this morning, saying that his septuagenarian aunt was seriously ill and was looking forward to seeing his nephew. General An's parents died when he was a child, and he was raised by his aunt Han Xin, who was not a mother and son, but better than a mother and son...... Although I was reluctant, I could only agree. He sighed, and continued: "General An is worried and like an arrow, let me say goodbye to you on his behalf." β
When Long Shaoyang and Zhu Xibing heard this, they looked at each other silently, and said in their hearts: "Quiet thinking is to be a thief, I am afraid that they will see the flaws, and I am worried that I will not be able to erase my feelings, so I simply omit a goodbye." β
Xiao Yuanying opened her eyes wide, and shouted, "What?!, Your Royal Highness the Prince, you said that Jing Si left ahead of time?"
Xiao Minglong smiled bitterly: "Not bad. General An had been gone for half an hour, and he had already left Liangzhou City at this moment. β
"This kid didn't even say hello to us, and he slipped away alone?" Xiao Yuan said angrily, "The lord of Xiliang has not been summoned yet, and the lord of Cheng'an has not yet married, so he will pick his son and leave?"
Before Xiao Minglong could answer, Long Shaoyang intercepted the conversation and said with a smile: "Your Highness, there is such an urgent matter in General An's family, returning to the country to serve the bedside, and doing the filial piety of the younger generations, it can be described as human nature, how can you be harsh?!"
Xiao Minglong smiled: "What Long Wei said is true!"
Xiao Yuanying listened, made a grimace, and said to himself: "Hehe, but it's okay if this kid is gone, he has a tense face all day long, like the ice and snow on the west mountain of Xiliang City, cold...... I'm too lazy to see it. β
"Don't talk about General An. I have summoned you to consult with you on other matters. Xiao Minglong waved his hand, and several guards and palace people bowed down and retreated when they saw this, and then said: "Just now, the people from Xiliang Palace came to spread the word, and the lord of Xiliang will summon us tomorrow." After meeting the lord of the country, in a few days, until August 28, after the wedding of the county lord, we can leave for China. β
When Long Shaoyang heard the word "return to China", he suddenly remembered the "somehow" trick of King Qin in his calm mouth, his heart tightened, and he was thinking about it, only to hear Xiao Yuanying say: "Oh, after such a little bit of dialing by His Royal Highness the Prince, I suddenly found that we can't stay in Xiliang for a few days. β
Xiao Minglong smiled and said, "Wait until tomorrow to see the lord of Xiliang, present the national letter, and let Long Wei accompany you to take a few more turns in Xiliang City to appreciate the exotic customs." When I go in and out of the inn, I am protected by guards, so you don't have to worry, just have fun as much as you like. β
Zhu Xibing seemed to have a smile on his face, and said to Xiao Minglong: "His Royal Highness the Prince, some people want to stay for a few more days, but I'm afraid that what I haven't seen enough is not this Xiliang terroir, but this Xiliang people, this Xiliang love, especially the delicate Xiliang girl!" glanced at Xiao Yuanying and asked, "His Royal Highness King Teng, how much truth do I have to say this?"
Xiao Yuanying's round face turned red suddenly, and he said with a forced smile: "Miss Zhu is really going to make fun of me, since I entered Liangzhou yesterday, I haven't seen a girl from Xiliang." Besides, when it comes to appearance, it is naturally my Daqi girl who is better. β
"I haven't seen it, how do you know that Miss Xiliang is not as beautiful as Miss Daqi?"
β...... Yes, yes, but not carefully. β
"Why? It's not enough, I want to take a closer look. β
"This ......"
Long Shaoyang and Xiao Minglong couldn't help laughing when they saw Xiao Yuanying being teased by Zhu Xibing. After laughing for a while, Xiao Minglong said: "I have long heard that Miss Zhu's mouth is as sharp as a knife, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation." Okay, you guys go back first, and let's enter the palace together early tomorrow morning to meet the lord of Xiliang. Seeing this, Long Shaoyang and the three of them agreed, and saluted together.
The three of them went out of the room, and as soon as they arrived in the courtyard, they raised their eyes and saw a person in the costume of General Xiliang with a few soldiers entering through the door, this person was forty-five or sixteen years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a burly figure.
Ping Ping had already seen the three of them, stepped forward, bowed his hand, and said with a smile: "Ping has seen three adults. I don't know how it was okay to rest in the post house last night?" As he spoke, his eyes glanced at Zhu Xibing, who was wearing women's clothes, intentionally or unintentionally. There was a hint of surprise in his eyes, but it was fleeting.
Long Shaoyang and the three of them hurriedly returned the salute. Xiao Yuanying grinned and said with a smile: "There is Lao Zhonglang who will be worried." We slept very well last night, and dreamed soundly until dawn. β
Calmly smiled: "That's very good. His Majesty and His Royal Highness the King of Qin have repeatedly ordered us to take care of all the dignitaries of Daqi, if we don't take care of them properly, we courtiers can't afford to take care of them. If you need anything else, just let me know. As he spoke, he lifted his feet.
Zhu Xibing suddenly grinned and said: "General Ping is really polite! Your country's food, clothing, shelter and transportation should be taken care of very thoroughly, and our Qi State delegation dares to be kind. However, the little woman has the courage to have a good word, I don't know if I should say it at this moment?"
As soon as she said this, everyone was stunned.
Calmly and lightly, he said, "Please speak." β
Zhu Xibing said: "The little girl has always liked medicine, and she has dabbled in medical books. In my opinion, the general is a little tired today, and his eyes are dark. The black color on the medical road is dominated by the water qi and kidneys, which is mostly caused by staying up late and sleeping less, and the kidney water is overflowing. The general is the backbone of the country, and in the future, he must stay up less late and work less, and nourish his kidneys more to calm his nerves!"
Calm was slightly stunned, and suddenly his eyes burst with fine light, glanced at Zhu Xibing, and said with a smile: "Hehe, Ping has been busy with political affairs for a while, but he has no time to rest. "Say it as a courtesy," Thank you Miss Zhu Jin Yu for your kind words, Ping should keep it in mind." He directly broke the identity of the other party, and it was not soft or hard to come back.
Zhu Xibing didn't dodge, his eyes looked at calm with a smile on his face.
The verbal confrontation between the two of them was actually insinuating, meaning something, Teng Wang Xiao Yuanying only knew what he was saying, but Long Shaoyang was clear, thinking: "I wish the girl this move, it is obviously a hidden temptation, but it is also a little risky." Hurriedly diverted the topic and said, "General Ping, I don't know why the general came? But what does Your Majesty command?"
Calmly smiled, "Oh, it's not a big deal. Hearing that there was an urgent matter at the home of General Jing Si'an, the deputy envoy of your country, and planned to return to the country ahead of schedule, His Royal Highness the King of Qin specially ordered Ping to come and give him a ride and talk about the etiquette of the landlord. β
"General Ping. Xiao Yuanying said with regret, "It's really unfortunate." I'm afraid that you are a step too late, General An has already left, and even we haven't seen his figure. β
With a look of surprise on his face, he exclaimed: "Ah, I didn't expect General An to leave in such a hurry! Then he turned to the soldier beside him and said, "Quick, you go and lead some horses." Let's ride along the official road and see if we can catch up with General An!"
Long Shaoyang saw that the purpose of Pingping's trip was actually to check whether Jing Si had set off to return to China, and seeing that he was so relieved, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart, and said: "General Ping doesn't have to go to such great lengths! General An set off half an hour ago, and at this moment he had already left the city gate and galloped on Ganliang Avenue. β
Calmly smiled: "Yes, there is Lao Longwei's reminder! In this case, I will not disturb you, Ping Mou will go back to report to His Royal Highness King Qin." Say goodbye!" he said, hugging his fists, turning around and walking away quickly with the soldiers.
The three of them stood in the courtyard and watched Ping Jing and the others go out of the courtyard.
After the calm and others walked away, Xiao Yuanying approached Zhu Xibing, lowered his voice, and said, "Miss Zhu, I can't imagine that you still know the way of medicine, when will you be convenient, and let me see?"
Zhu Xibing listened, glanced at him, and said lightly: "Miss Ben is very convenient now." You, the hall of tears is black, the whites of your eyes are yellow, and your lips are colorful, which is really caused by the deficiency of qi and blood. β
"Ah, in this way, isn't it terminally ill?" Xiao Yuanying cried out in a lost voice.
Zhu Xibing snorted, but ignored it, turned to Long Shaoyang and said, "Brother Long, let's go, let's go to Liangzhou City to have a look." β
