Chapter 43: The Fog Fills
After pulling Guixiong away from the envoy entourage of the Great Chu Dynasty, Ji Meiqiu figured out what was going on. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
On the other side of the window, two tall middle-aged men were talking loudly:
"Brother, the kind-hearted old king is gone, and the life of the people of Wuling will be even better in the future. ā
"Yes, none of the princes have a good thing, which prince do you say is on the throne?"
"Needless to say, it must be the third prince, he has the support of the Great Chu Dynasty. I heard that the old king fell into a conspiracy because he didn't listen to the words of the Great Chu Dynasty. ā
"The people of the Great Chu Dynasty are really fucked up, and they have reached out to our Wuling Kingdom. ā
As soon as the words fell, a loud reprimand sounded next to him: "Stupid big man, you are looking for death." ā
After being scolded for no reason, Guixiong quit, threw down his chopsticks and shouted: "You are sick, and I don't eat your meat." ā
The attendant said angrily: "You lack heart, this plate of barbecue is ours." ā
"You lack eyes, your whole family lacks eyes. Your dad has no shortage of eyes, how can he reveal your little bastard. "When people are angry, they swear more than anyone else.
The attendant was furious, picked up the spear beside him and stabbed it towards Guixiong. Don't look at Guixiong's slow brain response, his skills are much better than his brain. Before the tip of the gun could get close, it was grabbed by his big hand, and with a hard pull, his follower rolled to the ground.
The two jumped up at the same time, raised their fists and beckoned to each other. The crackling sounded just a few times, and it was pulled away by Jiang Heng and Deputy Envoy Da Chu. The two deputy envoys went to the side to apologize to each other, but the two who fought still glared angrily, both of them did not admit defeat.
"Guixiong sits down and eats your flesh. Ji Meiqiu snorted in a deep voice, and Guixiong returned to his seat in a huff. Xue Hong on the other side said coldly: "If you make trouble again, go back and drive you out of the barracks." The attendant turned pale with fright.
Ji Meiqiu felt that he was a man, and he couldn't be too stingy, so he hugged his fists and said: "Princess Xuehong, it's my brother, it's not right, please take care of it." ā
Princess Xuehong turned her head and let out a soft "um", tears flashed in her eyes, and her face was like a sea of ice and snow.
When Jiang Heng and the deputy envoy of Da Chu returned to the wine table after negotiating, a high-spirited young man came into the hall, went straight to the side of Da Chu, and said lightly: "Miss Xuehong, it turns out that you are here, so it is easy for me to find it." ā
Princess Xuehong turned her head to look at Ji Meiqiu, who had a calm bearing, and the two young people were put together, and they made a judgment. Something amazing happened, Xue Hong covered his face with his hands, and hurried towards the door of the hotel with broken steps.
The eyes of the third prince stared at Princess Xuehong, and his smug expression immediately became gloomy like water, and he said mockingly to Ji Meiqiu: "Who did I say, it turned out to be a famous waste in the Burning Flame Kingdom." There is really no one in the Lieyan Kingdom, and he actually sent a waste to Wuling as a birthday envoy. ā
Ji Meiqiu didn't expect the contradiction to fall on him, and the rudeness of the third prince angered him, but he didn't show it, but said coldly: "The envoy sent by the Lieyan Kingdom is very particular, and only respectable places can send capable people to envoys." ā
The third prince was choked speechless, and if Ji Meiqiu had no ability, it was equivalent to directly denying Wuling Kingdom. With a flick of the sleeves of his robe, the third prince said angrily: "In the afternoon, please go to the Yin'an Palace to watch the ceremony and see how this king ascends the throne, and then you will know how big the gap between people is." ā
Although it was expected that the third prince would have a high chance of winning, listening to him say it himself at this time, the whole hall was silent, and the third prince saw this and walked away proudly.
The official of the Ministry of Rites, who had disappeared for a few hours, reappeared, but his face did not look happy. Accompanied by officials, the missions returned to the palace.
The traces of the morning's fighting were gone, and the entire palace was shrouded in a sea of white. But the country can't be without a king for a day, so under the witness of the missions of various countries, especially the delegation of the Great Chu Dynasty of the superior country, the third prince boarded the dragon chair.
Strange things continued one after another, after the third prince sat on the dragon chair, Princess Xuehong read out the emperor's edict on behalf of the Great Chu Dynasty, giving the third prince the new king of Wuling.
With the Emperor's Edict of the Great Chu Dynasty, the throne of the three princes is justified. It's just that this edict came too timely, and the celebration of the timely arrival of the national missions became very lagging behind. But the officials of the Ministry of Rites of the Wuling Kingdom were really smart, and as soon as the imperial edict of the Great Chu Dynasty was read, they sang the congratulatory gifts of various countries. In other words, the birthday gifts brought by various countries have become a congratulatory gift for the new king to ascend the throne.
If this congratulatory gift had been read out by the missions themselves, I am afraid that no one would have wanted it. At this time, Ji Meiqiu found another puzzled situation, and leaned into Jiang Heng's ear and said, "Uncle, less than half of the envoys who came to congratulate today, and even the envoys of the Great Song Empire are nowhere to be seen, don't you think it's strange?"
Jiang Heng said nervously: "Don't worry about these things, the enthronement ceremony is over, and we will go out of the city directly." ā
Only then did Ji Meiqiu realize that there were two eyes on her: Princess Xuehong's resentful eyes and the third prince's cold, murderous gaze.
Why did the third prince have such a big grudge against him, Ji Meiqiu didn't have time to think about it. At the end of the enthronement ceremony, he and Jiang Heng went straight to the palace noon gate, and when they found the thunder and got on the horse, they galloped towards the city gate.
The new king did not rejoice when he ascended the throne, but his face was full of murderous anger, even Ji Meiqiu, who had lost his memory and had no concept of the flies and dogs in the world, knew that this matter was too abnormal, and it would be dangerous to stay any longer, especially if he had just clashed with the new king.
Gentlemen do not stand under the wall, they do not reflect on whether they should participate in the new king's enthronement ceremony, they only know that leaving the danger is the first priority.
As soon as the two handsome horses rushed out of the city gate, a loud roar came from behind them: "Close the city gate, there are spies in Yongshun City, and the new king strictly orders all subjects, especially the envoys of various countries, not to leave the city." ā
Ji Meiqiu and Jiang Heng looked at each other and smiled, both of them read the thoughts of luck in each other's eyes, and then rode their horses and galloped.
In the Ten Mile Pavilion, Guixiong and the entourage of the mission were waiting here, and Ji Meiqiu knew that Jiang was still old and spicy, although he had not seen through the conspiracy of the third prince, Jiang Heng had already left behind.
"Big brother, you're finally here. Guixiong's humming voice came: "I've been waiting for you for a long time, did you bring the barbecue?"
Ji Meiqiu grabbed the reins of the horse and said sharply: "You foodie, don't be numb." All of them, get on the horse. ā
Jiang Heng then arrived, his black cone horse was far worse than the thunder, and although his riding skills were above Ji Meiqiu, he still lagged behind Ji Meiqiu. Seeing that all the people had already mounted their horses, Jiang Heng showed an appreciative smile in his eyes, but he shouted sternly in his mouth: "Hurry up and go straight to the border pass." ā
When Gui Xiong first appeared, he scared all the horses into weakness. Later, Ji Meiqiu tried to let him ride a horse, but every time he stepped on the war horse, the horse would definitely lie on the ground and couldn't move, and no one knew why.
In this rapid march, all the soldiers and horses were also tired enough, and Guixiong could only rely on his legs, and the tiredness was even worse.
When he came from the country of Lieyan, he arrived in Yongshun for five days. This rapid march did not stop for two days and two nights, and only rested a little in between.
I haven't slept for two days, and this team is already sleepy. On the morning of the third day, he bought a cow in a village to fill his stomach, and when he was very sleepy, he returned to sleep. Ji Meiqiu was about to rest, Jiang Heng nervously approached him and said, "Meiqiu, there is still a difficulty, what do you think?"
