Chapter 976: Family Banquet
Queen Ju looked at the dirty streets of Nancheng through the gap in the car window, and was not impressed, and decided that sooner or later she would completely renovate the place.
She arrived at Biyu City four days before the first competition, six carriages, more than 30 guards, almost no one knew along the way, Xu Yanwei in the same car looked tired, looked at it for a while before recognizing her hometown, sighed, and said suspiciously: "Queen, aren't we going to Beicheng? The Dragon King has already cleaned up your former home." ”
Queen Ju grew up in a house in Beicheng, which was her only world for more than ten years, and when she returned to Shiguo and was under house arrest by the prime minister, she was full of nostalgia for Beicheng, and was even willing to return to her hometown as a princess.
"Hmm. Queen Ju was still in deep thought, accustomed to the monotonous sound of wheels and horses' hooves, and the hustle and bustle of the southern city was particularly harsh, "No, let's not live in the northern city, go to the military palace." ”
Xu Yanwei shrugged her shoulders, understanding the queen's intentions, she could only stand by and watch, the young queen was no longer the delicate and shy girl, in Shiguo, since she was kidnapped by the Dutch girl, she has become more and more resolute and decisive, Xu Yanwei's idea has not had much influence.
But Queen Ju still needs Xu Yanwei, she doesn't have many powerful subordinates, even if the maid placed by the Dragon King is half-hearted, it is very useful, "You are very familiar with this place, right?"
"Cooked can't be more cooked. Xu Yanwei sighed again, it had always been her dream to escape from Biyu City, and it was finally realized, but she came back again, "I can always see Nancheng when I have nightmares." ”
"When the competition is over, we should persuade the Dragon King to govern this place well, and it must be like Beicheng. ”
Xu Yanwei's eyes lit up, "That dare to be kind, burn it out with a fire, and rebuild it all." ”
Queen Ju smiled, Xu Yanwei was very useful, but it was never reflected in giving advice.
Gu Shenwei only received the news of the queen's imminent arrival last night, he didn't expect her to come so quickly, and he didn't expect that she would abandon the old mansion in Beicheng and move directly into the Protector's Mansion.
Long Chuanyun was carried by the guards and personally went out of the house to greet him, and he was quite nerve-wracking about how to place the queen, Xu Yanwei got out of the car and took a turn, and designated a small cross-courtyard, which was considered to have solved the problem.
When Gu Shenwei came to the courtyard, the servants were carrying their luggage, and when they saw that the dragon king had put down their work and knelt down to say goodbye, the queen smiled at him and said, "You are busy first, and you will talk about it in the evening." ”
Gu Shenwei always couldn't remember the queen's appearance, and it felt strange to see a strange woman so casual and kind to him.
Xu Yanwei didn't show his familiarity with the Dragon King, but he didn't kneel either, and stood aside silently, thinking that the queen was really getting smarter and smarter, knowing that the Dragon King didn't like red tape, so he simply greeted him like an ordinary couple, and this sentence of "talk about it in the evening" will dispel countless rumors.
There were also a few children who accompanied Queen Ju, the older ones were only ten years old, and the younger ones had to be taken care of by the nursing mother, and they did not kneel, but bowed to the Dragon King, looking a little nervous.
The eldest child glanced up at the Dragon King, revealing a maturity that did not match his age.
Gu Shenwei didn't say anything, turned around and left, that evening he set up a table at Queen Ju's residence to catch the wind and wash the dust, and the person who sat with him was Xu Xiaoyi, he came to see his sister, and handed over the property of the Dragon Army by the way.
After less than half a month of management, Xu Xiaoyi could only sigh in his heart, the feeling of managing money is really wonderful, and it can't be compared to collecting intelligence.
Except for a small number of personal maids, no outsiders participated in this small banquet, and Queen Ju omitted the disguise of a loving husband and wife, and directly reported the situation of the sea to the dragon king.
Prime Minister Zhong Heng did not change much in the framework set up at the beginning, there are three armies in the five countries of Xiaoyaohai, which are stationed in the southernmost Anguo, Huiguo in the west and Shiguo in the east, Anguo has a fleet, the stone ** team is the largest, the number is still slowly increasing, and it can cross the desert at any time to support the battle of Biyu City.
More than 300 swordsmen from the Great Snow Mountain controlled various armies, and Queen Ju sent a large number of Shi Guo soldiers to various countries, and did not hide this at all, "The Shi Kingdom was the first to throw himself into the Dragon King, and his loyalty is comparable to that of the Great Snow Mountain, and he is completely trustworthy." ”
"You have brought the kings of all five kingdoms. Gu Shenwei said that he knew the children, and the eldest one was the King of Huiguo, who had tried to assassinate the Dragon King in the King's Palace.
"Well, the Dragon King has been away from the Xiaoyao Sea for a long time, and the Central Plains forces are infiltrating little by little, and the remnants of Jinpeng Fort have not been completely cleared, so I have to be on guard. King Shi is my own nephew, he is still a baby, so he naturally wants to follow me, King Kang Shangliao voluntarily sent his seven-year-old son here, saying that it is a family of the five countries of Xiaoyaohai, and the kings should get along with each other as brothers since childhood, I agreed, King Sha followed King Kang in everything, so he also sent his eight-year-old eldest son. ”
Shang Liao is also the right general of the Dragon Army, and he is raising troops in the Shule Kingdom, and he probably had a premonition that as soon as Queen Ju returned from the North Garden, he sent his eldest son to the Shi Kingdom.
"King Hui is a villain, Prime Minister Zhong Heng has never let him return to China, I think he should bring it. ”
"What did he do?"
"No, King Hui behaves very well-behaved, but every time I see his right hand, I know that he still hates the Dragon King. ”
King Hui fired a hidden weapon at the Dragon King at the cost of breaking four fingers, Gu Shenwei remembered that scene clearly, and he really needed special attention for this child.
"The trouble is Anguo, the old queen mother completely controlled Xiao Wang in her hands, until she heard that the dragon king rescued Lao An Wang from Biyu City, she sent Xiao An Wang, I heard that the old queen mother has been in contact with the Central Plains people. ”
Empress Dowager An Guo is a princess of the Central Plains with a suspicious background, who has been forgotten for many years, and took advantage of the chaos of the sea to establish contact with the people of the Central Plains.
King Xiao An was a year or two younger than King Hui, and he knew nothing about the situation, and he was very happy to travel to Biyu City, completely unaware of how dangerous it was for him to stand side by side with the two kings of Anguo at this time.
Xiaoyaohai is not only the rear of the dragon army, but also an important passage to the country of incense, and it is a wise move for Queen Ju to take the hostages of the kingdom with her, Gu Shenwei can't say anything.
Next, Xu Xiaoyi introduced the accounts of the Long Army, Queen Ju was invited to come just to manage the money, but she did not show special interest, and lightly asked Xu Xiaoyi to come again tomorrow, and not talk about it tonight.
For the rest of the time, the banquet began to feel like a family reunion, Queen Ju seemed to have learned the previous lesson, and did not make any more requests to the Dragon King, the Xu sisters and brothers did their best, reminiscing about the past, comparing the similarities and differences between the north and south cities, and trying to arouse the interest of the Dragon King and the queen.
The efforts of the two were successful, and Gu Shenwei remembered that he had once visited Queen Ju's house in Beicheng, where he publicly pointed out the murderer of the eldest prince.
Queen Ju was very impressed by this, she had never seen the dragon king at that time, but she immediately heard about the events in the front hall, she was saddened by her brother's violent death, and also admired this bold servant, "I thought at the time, it would be good if I had the ability of the dragon king, but I didn't expect ......"
Queen Ju smiled knowingly, narrowing the distance between her and the Dragon King.
Xu Yanwei decided to give up his disguise in front of the Dragon King many years ago, so he laughed, "But you were afraid that the Dragon King would die later, and you thought that the Dragon King would be eaten raw on the wedding night." ”
Queen Ju blushed and bowed her head, she had listened to the terrifying rumors that she had imagined the Dragon King as a demon with stiff hair and a mouth and nose that breathed fire.
Gu Shenwei has an impression of the wedding night.
Xu Yanwei found that it was necessary to disguise it occasionally, so she shook her body, "I must have drunk too much, I am dizzy, and I have to go and relieve myself." ”
Xu Yanwei ran out of the door and quietly motioned for Qin Yeming to come out.
Qin Yeming stood at the door, as the waiter of the Dragon King, he was like an invisible person, even his breathing was very weak, his eyes never left the Dragon King, and when he saw Xu Yan waving slightly, he hesitated before following out.
It was quiet in the courtyard, and the hostages of the five countries were arranged to other places, where they could not enjoy the treatment of kings.
Xu Yanwei looked at the confused Qin Yeming, and asked old-fashionedly, "How old are you?"
"Ten...... Fifteen. ”
"How long have you been with the Dragon King?"
"Less than two months. ”
"So short. Xu Yan frowned slightly, "What ability do you have to serve the Dragon King?" I think it's a little handsome, but not as good as Xiao Chu. ”
Qin Yeming was a little flustered, he didn't recognize Xu Yanwei, but what he had just seen and heard proved that this woman was extremely familiar with the Dragon King, and she was by no means an ordinary maid, "I...... I volunteered, the Dragon King believed in me and gave me this opportunity, I don't have much ability, I just ...... wholeheartedly"
"Stop, these words are reserved for the Dragon King. Xu Yan slightly interrupted the young man, looked at it carefully, and even reached out to pinch Qin Yeming's chin, shaking it from side to side twice, as if he was observing the slave who was about to buy the hand.
Qin Yeming became more and more nervous, and honestly accepted the inspection, but he did not dare to resist with his martial arts.
Xu Yanwei withdrew his hand, "Fifteen years old, too young, in two years, I will let you see my sister's skills." ”
"Yes. Qin Yeming responded, not understanding the meaning of Xu Yanwei's words at all, let alone knowing that he was being molested.
Xu Yan snorted and laughed slightly, "Go, bring the Dragon King's futon over." ”
"Huh?" Qin Yeming was taken aback, "The Dragon King didn't give the ...... order"
"Didn't I give the order? What are you afraid of? I'll take care of something, and it has nothing to do with you, so go quickly. ”
Qin Yeming understands the living habits of the Dragon King, but he is not familiar with the interpersonal relationships around him, Xu Yanwei left too much impression on him, and her orders are very deterrent.
"Yes......" Qin Yeming left as ordered, Xu Yanwei turned around and entered the house, staggering, "What's wrong with me......?"
Xu Yanwei was right, Qin Yeming's actions were not reprimanded, and the Dragon King stayed in the courtyard that night, as if he had already had this plan.
The next morning, the news of Queen Ju's arrival spread all over Biyu City, and most people took it for granted, "The Dragon King is going to settle down in Biyu City, a good thing." ”
The discussion stopped, and when Queen Ju went to the Four Noble Truths to offer incense, it did not attract too much attention, and Gu Shenwei accompanied the queen to go with her, so naturally no one was suspicious.
Gu Shenwei was invited to meet the abbot Fa Feng, and Queen Ju happened to provide a suitable excuse.
At the same time, a lot was drawn in the governor's mansion to determine the candidate for the first contest in three days, which attracted far more attention than the dragon king's wife and his wife.
