Volume 2 Eight Thousand Miles of Clouds and Moons Chapter 157 Xibei
On the land in the north, the field of vision is extremely wide, and there is an endless plain at a glance, and the barren countryside and mountains ten miles away from Tai'an City seem even more desolate and lonely. It is said that this place used to be a small town, but I don't know why the evil spirit is so strong, and you can hear a ghost crying wolf howl in the middle of the night, which is extremely infiltrating. Therefore, the local people knelt down and worshipped, and finally asked for a Buddhist temple, thinking that they could town this ominous place, but they never thought that even the temple did not last long, and it declined. Therefore, although this place is close to the capital, there is gradually no one running.
But there is a good thing about this place, on the night of the full moon, the moon seems so great that it seems to be close to the faint outline of the mountain, and when you stretch out your hand, you can feel like you can pluck it.
Suddenly, a wolf howl was heard in the distance.
Mo Jun turned his head abruptly, his eyes wandering.
Greedy Wolf seemed to shine brighter than usual, and the stars around it were making way for it, consciously or unconsciously avoiding it.
A cold wind blew, and it was cold in the heights.
Wei Shenghuan and Xu Yun said goodbye to Mojun, and Huang Hao forgot to glance at the direction of Tai'an City from a distance and turned around.
Mo Jun looked at Wei Shenghuan, who was tired, and asked with concern, "What are your highness's plans in the future?"
Wei Shenghuan grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth: "As the general said, one step at a time counts as one step." ”
Mo Jun quipped: "Then you should always find a place to live first, according to the minister, Qi Guo is not bad." His Royal Highness the King of Qi died in the capital, and the courtiers of the King of Qi must be resentful, and His Royal Highness may be able to enjoy the glory and wealth in peace, and there is no need to hide in Tibet everywhere. ”
Wei Shenghuan didn't know that Mo Jun was ridiculing him, and he didn't get angry, but replied seriously: "How can I still have the face to go to the Qi Kingdom, I have always respected His Royal Highness the King of Qi, and I respect my mother even more, but if they really have that kind of thing...... I didn't know how to face them, and I didn't know how to deal with myself, but I suddenly felt that my father's bearing could swallow even mountains and rivers, but he couldn't swallow a woman, and I really didn't know whether to say pitiful or hateful. ”
But in any case, it must be wrong to do such an unethical thing. ”
Huang Hao's nerves stopped as if they were touched, and he suddenly spoke: "The slave maid has served the concubine for many years, and I have never felt that she has done anything wrong. ”
This voice is extremely sharp and ugly, but to Mo Jun's ears, it is not so annoying.
Mo Jun looked sideways, and felt that this big internal official, who had always been obscene and humble, seemed to be a different person.
"The slave and maid were weak and unable to do heavy work since childhood, and the family was poor, and my parents did not want to see my son, so I did not even have food on weekdays. So I fled, and went into the palace with a ruthless heart, and swore that one day when I would be rich and prosperous, I would come back and take revenge on them. ”
"I was only a teenager when I entered the palace, a stunned young man, I didn't understand anything, if it wasn't for the concubine who saw me pitifully and accepted me to do things for her, I would have died a long time ago. I, Huang Hao, am a complete villain, but I still have a sense of gratitude. He turned his head, and there was a fire burning in his eyes: "You scold me, insult me, and beat me, I can bear it, but I can't bear to say bad things about the concubine, even Your Majesty, he has never had a word of complaint against the concubine." ”
Wei Shenghuan was stunned, but he didn't understand Huang Hao's meaning.
Huang Hao seemed to open the chatterbox that had been silent for decades, and said, "Your Highness, do you know what love is?"
Mo Jun almost didn't catch his breath when he heard this, why did Huang Hao still talk about this word in a eunuch, looking at him as if he was the Tao, could it be that there was something high?
Wei Shenghuan has never treated Huang Hao very well, although he will not speak ill of him, but he will not give him any good looks. With him just because this person has a bright brain and can help do something, besides, Huang Hao felt that he had nowhere to go, and proposed to follow, Wei Shenghuan couldn't think of any reason to refuse.
But Huang Hao was still his mother's servant, the mother who had long been blurred in his memory.
Wei Shenghuan was obviously happy to hear someone talk about his mother, and immediately humbly said, "Listen up." ”
"This is a eunuch, and naturally I don't understand it. ”
Before the people in the audience could get angry, Huang Hao continued: "But the slave maid thinks that the concubine understands better than anyone else. ”
"She was the first beauty in Tai'an back then, and everyone in Kyoto knew her name, even for a person with a humble status like me, I often heard people mention it when I was at home, let alone the princes and nobles above. It is not an exaggeration to find the son of the Yang family to ask for a marriage in Tai'an, and he can circle around the city three times. ”
The concubine once smiled and said to the slave maid that no matter what kind of woman she is, she has had a time of spring. Girls love talents, and men are drunk with beauties, this is an eternal truth, and no one can avoid it. ”
"But most men, by contrast, tend to value something else, and that is power, but it's something that women almost can't even think of. Therefore, beauties have fallen victim to these. At that time, I always felt that this was wrong, and the concubine told me that she also felt that it was wrong. ”
The concubine also said that she once thought that her sweetheart was a hero of the world, and she believed that one day that person would marry her openly, and the concubine also paid a lot for it, even risking death...... However, in the end, there is no hero to be seen, everyone is just the same vulgarity. ”
Wei Shenghuan sighed, shook his head and said: "The sage has training, family, country, and the world, a man's vision should not be limited to this, why do you want to hold on to this?"
"Bullshit saint!" Huang Hao suddenly became furious, a gesture he had never had in decades, he scolded: "He is greedy for his family and country, why should he ask others to sacrifice for him?
"Is it wrong for a girl to find a husband she likes?"
Wei Shenghuan argued: "Then she shouldn't ...... either"
Huang Hao jumped to his feet, and there was no respect for the king from a slave in his tone, but it didn't sound so disgusting: "The concubine hates them, hates her family, and hates should take revenge, so she played a prank, is that wrong? That blood book is just to provoke the two brothers, just to anger Wei Shengzhao, to let Wei Shengyou live in guilt, in order to trap the Yang family!"
Mo Jun sighed: "If this is a prank, it is inevitably too vicious. ”
Huang Hao replied unceremoniously: "Then aren't they vicious to the concubine!"
Wei Shenghuan didn't know how to answer, he inherited the excellent bloodline of the eldest son of the Wei Sheng family, that is, he didn't pay much attention to women's affairs, so he bowed his head and was silent.
Mo Jun hurriedly waved his hand to show his innocence: "Don't look at me, I was also manipulated by a woman, which is understandable." But that's just a woman's mind, it's hard to guess, let alone anything else. But when you say this, is it possible that Your Majesty also knows about Yang Guifei's tricks, but still pampers her like this? Then Your Majesty is really pitiful. ”
Huang Hao gasped twice, and when he heard Mo Jun mention Wei Shengzhao, his tone slowed down: "Maybe, I can't say it clearly, maybe Your Majesty himself can't say it clearly." ”
"Then ......" Mo Jun raised his eyes, and finally couldn't help but ask this question that had been bothering him for a long time: "Your Highness Huan, whose son is it?"
Wei Shenghuan's shoulders trembled slightly when he heard this, and he was also eager to know this answer, maybe this answer could reduce the guilt in his heart a little, and it could also allow him to hold his head high in front of others.
Xu Yun is not a gossip person, and he has never liked the gossip in the palace, he always thinks that as a martial artist, he should hone his martial arts, as a minister, he should be loyal to the king, and as a son of man, he should be courteous and filial, as for his wife...... Find a husband and children who can live at home, and the rest is just floating clouds. He was not interested in the things that the three of them had discussed before, but instead turned his eyes to the two people of the Tianxin Sect who were waiting not far away, thinking whether he should go up to them with his sword to ask for advice, if he fought with the third Ming King, he might gain a lot. When he was so absent-minded, he suddenly heard Mo Jun have this question, and he couldn't help but prick up his ears and wait for the following.
However, Huang Hao's answer disappointed several people, and they saw that this big internal official, who claimed to be able to tell which ant hole in the palace even the ants crawling on the ground was from the ant hole in the palace, shook his head with a wry smile, and sighed.
"Who knows?"
yes, royal secrets, who would know?
In addition to being disappointed, I was relieved to think like this.
The moon is gradually hazy, the sky is slightly shining, it is close to the end of the hour, and this scene is finally about to be revealed.
When Yang Guifei was not mentioned, Huang Hao returned to his low-brow and pleasing posture as before, and hunched his back into a carriage.
Xu Yun turned over and got on his horse and prepared to drive away.
Wei Shenghuan reluctantly glanced at the invisible Tai'an, and said to Mojun: "I plan to go to Shuzhong first, and then go to Xiliang." ”
Mo Jun was stunned for a moment, although he was a little surprised, but this was Wei Shenghuan's decision, so he naturally had his reasons.
Wei Shenghuan saw Mo Jun's doubts and explained: "Your Highness wants to see what the two princes and kings on the border of my Great Zhou are doing. But this time, maybe I won't be able to come back, I don't care very much about my life, it's ridiculous to say, Tianxin Sect harmed me and saved me, if it weren't for those two, I would have died a long time ago. People who have already died once have abandoned everything, but there is something in their hearts that they can't let go. ”
"What?"
"Jo'er also knows a lot of things, and her personality is far from her weak appearance, I am afraid that she is alone in the palace...... Fortunately, the second brother also loves her very much, I hope both sides are safe, alas. ”
Wei Shenghuan said, waved his hand, and turned to leave.
"Drive!"
The jujube red horse let out a long roar and marched westward with billowing smoke and dust.
"General!" Wei Shenghuan suddenly lifted the curtain and poked his head out, laughing and said, "It would be nice if Qiao'er could find a wishful husband, are you right?"
Amidst a long series of hearty laughter, the carriage drove away.
Mo Jun's eyes were glazed, and he suddenly scolded.
"Fuck, don't you understand that?"
