Chapter 15 See Master Zhao, the Governor of the Metropolis
How miraculous the sword qi of Zhuxian is, there is no need to say much, even if the old master of the Daomen sect personally took action, it could not be completely extracted, and now Xu Beiyou planted a wisp of Zhuxian sword qi into Duanmu Yu's body, which means that Duanmu Yu can almost wait for death, as for when he will die, it depends on how many means the Duanmu family can deal with delay, but also depends on Xu Beiyou's meaning.
After Xiao Zhinan heard this, she was a little relieved and a little emotional, in her memory, Duanmu Yu was not as annoying as she is today when she was a child, just as Xu Beiyou would never be so "decisive".
People always change.
Duanmu Yu will have this fate, and he is also to blame.
Xu Beiyou suddenly raised a smiling face, just like when the two first met, clean, like the high sky in the northwest.
He said softly: "The sky in the northwest is very clean, but the sky is blue every year. ”
Xiao Zhinan frowned, "It's the grassland cavalry going south again?"
Xu Beiyou said calmly: "There will be a battle between Daqi and the grassland, not only because of an ambitious grassland khan king Lin Han, but because of the will of heaven. ”
Xiao Zhinan subconsciously looked out of the pavilion, and her vision was naturally still a beautiful scene, but she was not a woman in the boudoir, and she knew that there was already a desolate scene of withered grass and trees outside, and even farther away in the northwest grassland, there was already a thin snow falling. Xiao Zhinan suddenly remembered his several travels, not all the beautiful scenery along the way, and there were many human tragedies that I don't know whether they were pitiful or lamentable, some like this autumn, late and desolate, and at the end of the road, and some like the next winter, white and empty, dead clean.
Xu Beiyou stretched out his hand to turn over, and said slowly: "It's almost winter, the imperial capital is about to usher in the first snow of the year, but as early as June, the first snow has fallen on the grassland, and now it is goose feather snow, and the white-haired wind after the winter blows, people and animals are frozen to death, and there are no people for hundreds of miles, which is called the white disaster, and it is also the will of God." ”
Xiao Zhinan was the princess of Daqi after all, and his heart slowly sank, "The people on the grassland can't survive, so they can only go south to plunder." ”
Xu Beiyou said calmly: "This year's grassland departments should still choose to go to Atami for the winter, but only Atami can last for a few years? Maybe next year there will be another big wolf smoke, dyeing the entire northwest." ”
Xiao Zhinan said softly: "It seems that this uncle will have to prepare for another year." ”
Xu Beiyou sighed and said: "Filial piety literature Shun Shenggao Empress has a spirit in the sky, and I don't know how to feel when I see today's grassland." ”
Empress Shunsheng Gao of filial piety literature is Lin Yinping, the former princess of the grassland, and the sister of Lin Han, the current king of the grassland Khan.
Xiao Zhinan's expression was gloomy.
The next day, Xu Beiyou left the princess's mansion and went to the second assistant's mansion. The imperial capital here pays attention to the marriage before marriage, also called the gift of Nacai, to put it bluntly, it is the man to the woman's home to give a dowry, seeing that the day of Nacai's marriage is also approaching, there is no reason for a man to live in a woman's house at this time.
I have to say that the imperial capital city is worthy of being the largest city in the world, from the princess's mansion to Han Xuan's mansion, Xu Beiyou walked for half an hour, this is still because the two mansions are in the inner city, if the entire imperial capital city is walked again, I am afraid that it is not much smaller than the land of a mansion.
The Han Mansion got the news early, but Xu Beiyou insisted on not letting people pick it up, and Meng Li could only wait in front of the door early, waiting for the eldest prince to come to the door. This errand was supposed to be the chief butler, but the chief steward went out with Xiangye early this morning, and he could only be replaced by him, a doorman who had met with the eldest prince once, on the temporary top.
Meng Li stood beside the stone lion in the Han Mansion and looked forward to it, until dusk, when he saw a young man with early bloom walking slowly.
Meng Li hurriedly stepped forward and saluted respectfully: "Eldest son." ”
Xu Beiyou waved his hand, signaling that he didn't need to be polite, and walked straight to the gate of the Han Mansion.
Although the Han Mansion is the Prime Minister's Mansion, it is not strictly guarded, there is no large number of armor soldiers stationed in front of the door, and there is no huge pomp and circumstance of monks guarding the door, just like an ordinary official mansion, at this time the Han Mansion has been opened, after all, it is the first time that the young master of this mansion has returned to the house, and the pomp and circumstance that should be there can not be saved.
Meng Li followed behind Xu Beiyou step by step, and whispered: "The eldest prince, the old man was summoned into the palace by His Majesty early this morning, and he is not in the mansion at this time, but the prime minister ordered before leaving, and the residence of the eldest prince has already been arranged. ”
Xu Beiyou snorted and said, "Since it was arranged by the old man, it is naturally proper." ”
Meng Li continued: "There are five courtyards in the house, Xiangye lives in the main courtyard, and the east courtyard belongs to the eldest prince. ”
Xu Beiyou nodded lightly.
Entering the middle gate, bypassing the shadow wall, and going east along the main road, Meng Li was a little hesitant, whether to lead the eldest prince to the main hall first, or to the east courtyard first, if you go to the main hall, and the prime minister is not in the mansion, is it possible to let the eldest prince sit alone? But if you go directly to the east courtyard, it seems a little sluggish.
Just as he hesitated, Xu Beiyou suddenly stopped and turned his head to look.
Then I saw a middle-aged man in a bichime robe standing in the distance, tall and straight, with his hands behind his back, also looking at Xu Beiyou.
When Meng Li saw this person, his body immediately stiffened, and he didn't dare to breathe.
Who in the house now doesn't know that this person is the tenth person in the world?
As a monk, the ten people in the world are more in awe than the temple ministers.
Xu Beiyou motioned for Meng Li to stop where he was, approached the famous tenth person in the world alone, and arched his hand: "I have seen Governor Zhao." ”
A few decades ago, Zhao Qing led the military and political power of the Northern Land of the Great Zheng Imperial Court, and he was indeed worthy of the three words of the Metropolitan Governor.
Zhao Qing said with a smile: "Metropolitan Governor, I haven't heard this title for many years, I have been called Master Zhao all these years, and I have almost forgotten that I was also a warrior who led the troops back then." ”
Xu Beiyou flattered: "Mr. once told me that the Metropolitan Governor and the first Emperor Xiao Huang were a moment of brightness. ”
Zhao Qing chuckled, "Han Xuan will say good things about me, I don't believe it, if he doesn't scold me for being a family slave with two surnames, I'll be thankful, you kid don't have to put a high hat on me, call me Zhao Dadudu, call me Zhao Qing, or Master Zhao, it's okay, anyway, I've been used to listening to it for so many years." ”
Xu Beiyou was as good as a stream, and saluted again: "Thank you Master Zhao for appearing in Qiutai and shocking Xiaoxiao, otherwise I am afraid that I will really die at the hands of Fu Zhongtian." ”
Zhao Qing said indifferently: "Not to mention that I am in the same boat as Han Xuan now, it is inevitable to make a move, even if it is Fu Zhongtian's side, I am afraid that he will not dare to really do it, at most he will teach you a lesson, otherwise it will ruin Xiao Xuan's plan, and he will not be able to eat and walk around." ”
Xu Beiyou was silent.
Zhao Qing said softly: "Qin Mumian has arrived in Beijing, and today Han Xuan entered the palace to discuss your marriage." ”
Xu Beiyou smiled slightly.
Zhao Qing laughed at himself: "I have seen Shangguan Xianchen enter the imperial capital, alone in the world, it is difficult to resist, I also met with Gongsun Zhongmou, who secretly entered the imperial capital, and had a very happy conversation, I didn't expect to see you again today Xu Beiyou, I have seen three generations of the Sword Sect, even Emperor Wuzu and Xiao Yu have gone, the fourth generation of the Xiao family is going to start a family, it turns out that I am already an old man who is nearly 100 years old." ”
Zhao Qing turned around and left, "I live in the West Courtyard, just go over there to find me if you have something." ”
Xu Beiyou bowed his hand for the third time towards Zhao Qing's departing back.
