The devil is coming

Chapter 491 Mr.
Uncle Qi smiled slightly,
Road:
"Inappropriate?"
Uncle Zheng also smiled,
road;
"Uncle Ben is very busy."
After all,
Uncle Zheng lowered the curtain and sat back.
Little Eunuch Zhang started to drive the carriage forward, but stopped again because Uncle Qi did not get out of the way and was still blocking the road.
But soon,
Little Eunuch Zhang gritted his teeth,
As the godson of Eunuch Zhang, young Eunuch Zhang's qualifications are excellent. He knows the identity of the person blocking the road in front of him, but at the same time, he also knows the relationship between the person sitting in the car behind him and his master.
His godfather once taught him,
After removing the roots,
I am a rootless person in this life.
If a rootless person wants to survive in this world, he can only rely on his own master.
You should only have your own master in your eyes.
Therefore,
After a brief hesitation,
Little Eunuch Zhang drove his car and ran over Uncle Qi.
The sword in Uncle Qi's hand was half out of its sheath.
inside the carriage,
Long Yuan beside the sword master was also half unsheathed.
next moment,
Uncle Qi got out of the way,
The carriage drove past.
Little Eunuch Zhang breathed a sigh of relief.
In the carriage, the Sword Master sheathed Long Yuan, looked at Zheng Fan, and said:
"Why does it feel like I'm much tougher than when I was at Snow Customs?"
Uncle Zheng shook his head and said:
"Because Xueguan is my place, I have to restrain my hands, but this is the capital, and I can be more liberal. If he continues to block the road, I will really ask you to help me give him that sword. It saves you from having to wander around with a sword at such an old age, which is so tiring."
If something happens to the princess at Snow Customs, it must be her own fault;
But in the capital, in full view, it is a place where one can reason.
Emperor Yan held such a grand entrance ceremony for himself yesterday, so there was no way he could just watch him die suddenly in the street today.
"His sword is not easy to practice."
"I'm annoyed with him, and I'm also annoyed with the crazy woman behind him."
The sword master nodded.
Uncle Zheng stretched, half-closed his eyes, leaned his back against the car wall again, and said:
“In less than half a year, I have become more confident. Apart from the reasons of different places, there are two other reasons.
One is a princess;
As a princess, the other three of the four young generals who were previously rumored in the world have no choice but to fight behind me. Prestige can be tiring, but prestige can also save people's lives.
one left,
it's you,
you are restored,
elder brother,
You are the key.
No matter how much fame you have, no matter how many errands you have, no matter how big the relationship is, if someone can just stab you to death while you are on the street, it is all nonsense.
I don't like to put my life on other people's overall situation, because I am not a person who likes to take the overall situation into account. "
A princess, a sword master,
It can make Uncle Zheng stand tall in front of the princess.
And it is still a relatively independent location, the capital;
After that,
Compare the backgrounds of both parties;
Behind you is the Marquis of Zhenbei, and behind me is the Marquis of Jingnan. Who is afraid of whom?
……
The blind man and the Savage King, with a group of followers, have entered Ji Chengjue's mansion. This mansion is very safe because in order to protect his wife, Ji Chengjue hired several masters and a group of people who are good at lurking around. Carrying out protection.
The manager of the mansion entertained Mr. Hirano's followers very carefully.
There were fresh oranges, and the blind man grabbed several and stuffed his pockets.
It's not easy to get fruit at Xueguan. Although the blind man ordered people to transplant some orange trees for his own benefit, to be honest, the oranges produced were not delicious.
The fruits at Ji Chengjue's residence are all fresh and come as tribute from various places. His Majesty's Ministry of Internal Affairs will regularly deliver them to his grandson.
"Shamelessly grabbing oranges from children."
Gou Moli teased angrily.
"Children are weak and will easily get angry if they eat too many oranges." The blind man continued to peel the oranges.
Gou Moli was sitting on the steps. This was a small courtyard for entertaining guests. It was not big and only had one square of sky. However, Gou Moli greedily stuck out his tongue and breathed in the air here.
The blind man put a piece of orange meat into his mouth,
Road:
"Like a dog."
Gou Moli was not angry. He had been calling himself Coyotito anyway, but he said proudly:
"I didn't expect that I could breathe in the fragrance of Yanjing so much."
"But it should be different from what you imagine, in a different way."
Gou Moli shook his head and said: "No, I never thought that one day I would be able to lead an army into this capital. I served as an auxiliary soldier under the Beihou Mansion in Beifeng County. I know how hard it is to conquer this country. How tough.
In fact, I originally thought that it would be enough to capture most of the Jin territory, and I couldn't make the Yan people too anxious. Who knew that this Yan people were really the butt of tigers, relatives who wanted to save face. "
"Haha." The blind man smiled.
"I thought that after winning a battle at Wangjiang, I should be able to conquer the river, or wait for an opportunity to capture Yingdu. My requirements are not high. I am also willing to surrender to the Yan people, as long as..."
"As long as the princess marries you?"
"That's my dream, no, it's an obsession. You said that at that time, the princess was still young. Although she whipped me, I really didn't have any thoughts about a little girl. On the contrary, you Xia people, some nobles like young people very much, but we, the Holy Clan, like big bodies that can support children.
I don't even know what she looks like now, but I just can't help but think about her and miss her.
Because she was the one I swore to. "
"Is this the goal you set for yourself when you were in hibernation?"
"This statement is apt and right. I struggled in the mud again and again, knelt before others again and again, and had to endure the short-sighted but self-respecting tribal leaders in the snowfield again and again.
I have wronged myself for so long, there must be a reason for me to keep going, right?
she,
This is the reward I set aside for myself. "
"understand."
"Thank you."
"But I don't like this kind of day."
"I see, you are all a bunch of lunatics. In your eyes, nothing is more important than your own happiness!"
"That's called following one's will."
"Ha ha."
"To be honest with you, even if you already have your current family business and the foundation of Xuehaiguan, it is not unacceptable to lower your head a little, hibernate and plan for the future, but if you really retreat to the bottom line... "
"For example, what does it mean to retreat to the bottom line?"
"Probably, our individual lives may be to ask the Lord to hand over our own women."
"I think that other than uncle's own life, everything else can be handed over."
"You see, this is the biggest difference between you and us. In fact, we have been making preparations to open an inn in Jiangnan, Jiangnan, the country of Qian."
"Would you like it?"
"Worthy."
"Tsk."
"Look, it's a loss for someone like you to stay low and work for a small part of your life. In the end, your great achievements will turn into just a dream."
"I've been here, I've seen it, I've been through it."
"A little familiar."
"What my uncle once said."
The blind man nodded and said:
"The more officials in the officialdom like to flaunt themselves as clean and love the people as their own children, the less they can withstand investigation."
"Are you mocking your Lord?"
"I dare to say this in front of the Lord."
"I do not believe."
The blind man peeled the second orange and said, "I'm not going to lie to you."
"If you can, wait until uncle comes back and say it again in front of him."
"say what?"
"Just what you just said."
"What?"
"You are the one who said that Uncle Zheng is hypocritical and pretentious..."
"Whoa..."
The courtyard door was pushed open, and Uncle Zheng walked in, followed by the Sword Master.
"..." Gou Moli.
Uncle Zheng glanced at Gou Moli, who immediately knelt down.
"You're quite free."
Gou Moli shivered.
Uncle Zheng looked at the blind man and said, "Have you given the gift to the princess?"
The blind man nodded and said: "Except for the gifts for His Highness, his wife and children, we have already sent people to send other gifts to women into the palace before. By now, they should have been handed over to the people in the palace.
The subordinate asked He Chunlai and Chen Daole to go, haha. "
He Chunlai and Chen Daole had problems with their identities. This was something that everyone knew tacitly.
Both of them were from Jin, and they should have participated in the anti-Yan and restoration activities.
Letting them give gifts is actually a bad taste of blind people.
Look,
Dayan Palace is right in front of you two,
let's go.
"Did you send them all away?"
"Huh? Lord, is there any problem?" The blind man was a little confused.
Uncle Zheng looked at the sword master standing beside him, shook his head and said:
"It's okay, Li Qing should be able to arrange it herself."
Uncle Zheng also prepared a set of Mr. Jiao made from snowy old mountain wood.
This wood is very precious.
water proof,
cold resistant,
If you hold it for a long time, it will gain warmth.
Savage tribes often use it as medicine to treat diseases such as rheumatism and typhoid fever.
This was originally intended to be given by Uncle Zheng to the Queen Mother of Jin.
But now it seems that he should be sent to the palace together.
I'm embarrassed to say this in front of the Sword Master. After all, the Sword Master's surname is Yu. What on earth do you have in mind when giving this thing to the Queen Mother?
The blind man didn't expect that his master and his fourth mother would actually prepare this gift. He had no choice but to predict the situation so well that it was so unexpected.
He just thought that Uncle Zheng was worried about the princess in the palace and comforted him:
"My lord, the princess comes from the Great Chu Palace. She can handle these things."
"Uh-huh."
Uncle Zheng nodded,
Road:
"By the way, I met that Uncle Qi on the road earlier."
Gou Moli, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly raised his head.
The blind man reached out, held his head, and pressed it down again.
"The princess is awake."
"Wake up, there are many talented people in the capital. She invited me to the back garden, but I refused and told her to come here to see me if she wanted to see her."
The blind man nodded and said: "This is what it should be."
"But there's no guarantee that that crazy woman will really come over."
Uncle Zheng pointed at Gou Moli.
Road:
"So tie this guy up first, so that he won't suddenly come out later and embarrass me."
"..." Gou Moli.
...
"Sister, why are you so happy?"
"Haha, didn't I go to Concubine Qin's place today to meet the Princess of Chu?"
"Is this the one Uncle Hirano snatched back from the Chu Kingdom?"
"Isn't it?"
"Sister, how does the Princess of Chu look like?"
"It's not that she's the most beautiful woman in the country, but she has that kind of flavor, and she can be considered a lovely person. Alas, but after all, she was born as a serious princess, and Dachu has always valued rules and etiquette. I think she There is indeed a sense of hospitality in dealing with others.
Just looking at it from the side, I feel like I am being compared. "
"Why should my sister be like this? My sister is also as beautiful as a fish or a wild goose."
"Sister, you don't understand this. For ordinary people, beautiful women in the world can only be encountered but not sought after. They need to sleep and think over and over again. But for the truly powerful men, they are just everywhere around them. Just flowers and plants.
No matter how good the skin is, it is just an appearance after all. At this point, what a man values ​​more is what is inside.
The nobility of that princess is something women like you and I, who were born among the common people, will definitely not be able to cultivate. "
Cai Guiren was born in Ganren, while Ding Yiren was born in Jin.
Both of them were born among the people and were later sent to the palace.
Cai Guiren was granted the title in the first year of Yongping, when the Yan army entered Qian.
Xiao Liuzi once joked to Uncle Zheng in private that his father, the emperor, had been blessed with several concubines from the Qian Kingdom during that period, and wanted to give birth to one or two princes with the blood of the Qian Kingdom.
Uncle Zheng also said at that time that he really admired His Majesty for working hard for the country day and night. He really worked hard and took care of everything.
Anyway, in private, the two of them dare to say anything and make any jokes.
It was at that time that Mr. Cai received His Majesty's blessing.
After that,
The land of Jin was included in the territory of Dayan.
Your Majesty admitted several more Jin women into the palace.
In fact, it was sent by the wealthy clans of the Jin region on their own initiative, and this was also an established rule.
Ding Yiren is one of them.
Over the past year, His Majesty has occasionally stayed at her place.
There have been speculations about Emperor Yan's health between the government and the public, but after all, His Majesty lives deep in the palace. In the past few years, even though the three Jin lands have been collected, he has never made a tour. Under the care of Wei Zhonghe, the palace can be said to be It was airtight, so the outside world has been unable to obtain accurate information about Emperor Yan's physical condition.
But there is one thing that cannot be faked or concealed.
That's all these years,
The concubines in the harem have nowhere to go.
The last person to have been pregnant was Concubine Qin, but that was only a few years ago, and the child was not saved yet.
The last one to give birth to an imperial heir was Concubine Shu, the mother-concubine of the seventh prince.
It is impossible for the emperor to lie. Even the emperor would not dare to do anything about this kind of thing.
Therefore,
Emperor Yan has been doing nothing in the past few years, which is widely regarded by the outside world as an important evidence that Emperor Yan's health has been in poor health since the first year of Yongping.
You must know that the officials of the Qian Kingdom who are about the same age as Emperor Yan have princes and princesses born every year, especially the seventh princess of the Qian Kingdom. According to calculations from the date of her birth, when her mother and concubine were conceived, they went to the palace outside the capital. The Yan army has not retreated yet.
Some literati from Qian State even wrote a poem specifically for this purpose. The official family described in the poem remained calm and composed in the face of the attack of the Yan captives. The beauties were holding cups and laughing while the Yan captives retreated.
Of course, this can be described as flattering and a bit shameless.
But it can also be seen from this perspective that the bodies and bones of the official family of Qianguo have always been healthy.
"By the way, sister, what is this?"
Ding Yiren asked, pointing to the box Cai Guiren carried back;
This box is beautifully packaged with fine and glossy stripes. As you can imagine, the contents inside are also extremely valuable.
"Well, the princess brought a lot of gifts. When Concubine Qin called me to visit the princess, the princess asked us to choose. There are many good things."
"It's a pity that my sister is not of a high level and can't go there."
"Look what you said, sister, you have only been in the palace for a long time and you have already received His Majesty's blessing. It won't take long for your rank to rise. When the time comes, I will have to bow to my sister when I see her."
"Sister is teasing my sister again."
At this time,
There was a little eunuch running over in a hurry.
"Oh, Mr. Cai, you are really easy to find."
"Huh? Little Eunuch Li, what's the matter?"
"Isn't it that an envoy from the Kingdom of Qian is coming to see you today? He is in Qihe Hall. Have you forgotten?"
"Ah, I really forgot about it. I just went to see the princess."
"My lord, you'd better hurry up and make preparations with your servant."
"Yes, yes, I'm going, I'm going."
Cai Guiren followed little Eunuch Li in a hurry.
Cai Guiren was a native of Chu County in Qian State. He was originally a family of ordinary small businessmen. Later, his family's business went bankrupt. In order to pay off the debt, he was sold to a caravan heading to Yan State.
Among them, the operation of the Yan secret espionage department was naturally indispensable. Later, Cai Guiren was brought into the palace and became the emperor's concubine.
When Cai Guiren first entered the palace,
Dayan and Qianguo haven't started a war yet.
After receiving the message, the Qianguo court did a very shameless thing, that is, conferring titles on Cai Guiren's family members who stayed in Chu County.
Although he only had a flat title, no fiefdom and no settlement, he was still able to support his family.
There was nothing I could do about it. At that time, Qian Guo had a huge lack of confidence in Yan Guo.
The backyard garden outside the capital today was built by the late emperor of the Yan people who were supported by the Gan people.
From then on, every time the envoys came to Yan, they would send female officials into the palace to meet the noble Cai and greet him.
The Yan State Palace also opened the door to this, it was just a meeting, no big deal.
A while ago, there were frequent frictions on the border between the two countries. Zhong Tianlang led the cavalry to defeat the Yan people several times. However, as the eldest prince Ji Wujiang came to Nanwang City and began to take charge of military affairs, the Gan people suffered defeats in several consecutive small-scale conflicts. ;
Ganren, who did not want to escalate the war, immediately sent an envoy to pray for another peace negotiation on the border. Since the envoy was here, according to previous practice, he still had to come and see the noble Cai again.
And Cai Guiren was also very enthusiastic about this kind of visit from "family members". Firstly, this made this poor woman feel that she was also a member of her natal family. Secondly, she could also get information about her parents and brothers from the female official of the mission. some situations.
But today, she really forgot about the day because of seeing the princess.
Cai Guiren left in a hurry,
I forgot about the box left on the stone table in the pavilion.
Ding Yiren wanted to call her, but he hesitated and didn't. Instead, he picked up the box and walked back to his dormitory.
As soon as she returned to the dormitory and put down the box, a palace maid came to tell her that Concubine Qin had asked her to come over.
Because the princess distributed things today, but those who could get them were all high-grade concubines and nobles. Concubine Qin was a harem steward who knew how to behave, so she opened her own dressing drawer and asked those who agreed to come and do it. He received the reward and left dinner for dinner.
Therefore,
When Ding Yiren returned to his dormitory again with a hairpin, it was almost night.
The reason why everyone came back now and did not stay to talk more is because it is almost time for His Majesty to turn over the cards or decide where to stay tonight.
Ding Yiren put down this not very expensive hairpin,
Disdain:
"You have the nerve to give this crap to someone else. Do you really think I've never seen the world?"
Ding Yi was born into a wealthy family in Jin, and had been accustomed to fine clothes and fine food since he was a child.
immediately,
Ding Yiren took the exquisite box that he had received from Cai Guiren,
There is also a chain lock on it, which is not difficult to open, but gives people a very clever feeling.
"Bah, bah, bah, bah..."
Open one button after another,
Ding Yiren finally slowly opened the box.
"what is this?"
Ding Yiren picked up an extremely finely made Mr. Jiao from the box. This thing was actually a little warm to begin with.
But this shape
It looks like
look;
at this time,
Ding Yiren suddenly noticed a figure beside him. He immediately turned around and saw His Majesty Emperor Yan, who had come in at some unknown time and was not informed at all.
at this time,
Emperor Yan’s face,
Very gloomy, very heavy.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."
"It seems that I can't satisfy you anymore."
----
I'm a little tired today, so I'll just update once and let Long take his time.
