The most beloved princess in the prosperous world

Chapter 203 Lead the snake out of the hole
The afternoon was clear and cloudless.

There was a sound at the door of the study in Su Wang's mansion.

Yu Wujing hurried into Yu Wuyang's study, "Seventh brother, have you heard the rumors outside?"

Yu Wuyang put down the scroll in his hand, his movements were neither hasty nor slow, "What is worth your shouting?"

There was inexplicable excitement and surprise on Yu Wujing's face, "Seventh brother, I was outside just now, do you think I heard some news that Batu died in the posthouse, just two hours ago, and at the same time, I don't know where the rumors came from, saying that Grassland's visit to Chen Country this time was a dangerous trip, and Batu's death was just the beginning..."

Before Yu Wujing finished speaking, Yu Wuyang stood up abruptly, raised her hand to interrupt Yu Wujing's words, "Batu is dead? Heh, this is indeed just the beginning."

Yu Wujing originally wanted to talk about some outside things in detail, but when she heard Yu Wuyang say this, she was a little surprised, "Brother Seven has expected this for a long time?"

Yu Wuyang glanced at him, and said, "Batu's death was just following the trend, but... Isn't Buda currently under house arrest by Princess Luoxia in the post house, and how can he make trouble in Yongjia like this?"

What he was puzzled about was this point. When Yu Wujing said this, seeing Yu Wuyang thinking about it, he thought about it, and asked tentatively, "Or... this is us..."

Before Yu Wujing finished speaking, Yu Wuyang glanced at him calmly, and suppressed his unspoken words in his mouth.

Yu Wujing also understood.

This time when the prairie came to Chen Kingdom, Princess Luoxia came very aggressively, and she couldn't cooperate with them at all, but that Prince Buda was different, he had a different purpose from Princess Luoxia, so naturally he needed to ask for an alliance, then, he The only choice is their faction, but even if there is some cooperation with Buda, they are by no means to the point of digging their own grave for Buda in Yongjia City.

Yu Wuyang lowered her eyes and said, "It's not a difficult task to let a rumor spread. If Buda doesn't have some skills, he has a heart that wants to replace Luoxia in vain."

The two were talking, but a figure hurriedly walked outside, "My lord."

Yu Wuyang frowned, "What's the matter?"

The visitor entered the study room and said in a low voice, "Prince Buda heard the news that what happened to Batu was not done by them, and Prince Buda was worried that Princess Luoxia might take advantage of the situation to pin the matter on them. "

Hearing this, Yu Wujing looked at Yu Wuyang in shock, "Seventh brother, this..."

Yu Wuyang's face became more gloomy, and he waved his hand to let the person come down, but the shock on Yu Wujing's face hadn't recovered yet, "It's not Buda, and it's not us, it's not going to be Princess Luoxia, let alone Princess Luoxia. Could it be that Batu himself has a problem?"

Yu Wuyang said coldly, "Talk to Second Brother beforehand."

Yu Wujing also gradually calmed down now. Hearing this, she took a deep breath, "Seventh brother, don't you think that second brother has many things that he hasn't told us?"

Yu Wuyang pursed her lips and remained silent.

But Yu Wujing's voice became even colder, and said, "Seventh brother, don't say no, you have already discovered it yourself, but you just don't say it. The two of us, brothers, are wholeheartedly for the second brother, and we are paving the way for the second brother, but the second brother Brother has always kept something hidden from us." Speaking of this, Yu Wujing couldn't help thinking of the last disaster relief in the north, many times, when Yu Wujing discussed things with Leng Ya, he would be the first to send him away. The heart is also gradually cold.There are also many things that have happened recently, Yu Wujing obviously understands much better than them, like an invisible barrier, separating them, Yu Wujing stands on the other side, and they stand on the other side.

Seeing that he was so upset, Yu Wuyang said, "Second brother has his own intentions. I said, don't say such things in the future. If there was no Concubine Qi back then, do you think we still have brothers today?" Well, he didn't explain anything anymore, and went out of the study directly.

Only Yu Wujing was left behind, with an angry and gloomy expression.

===
On the other side, Ruan Fu left the post house after meeting with Princess Luoxia, it was already past noon.

As soon as she came out of the posthouse, she saw that there was another person beside the carriage, he glanced at Wuqin indifferently, and went straight into the carriage.

After the carriage moved forward slowly, Ruan Fulue's tired voice came from inside, "Now is the time for Wujue to employ people by his side, you are his secret guard, and Xiao Feng is already following me, so there is really no need for more one you,"

This was for Wuqin. After she finished speaking, the surrounding area was silent for a while, and Wuqin's slightly cold voice came out, "This subordinate is following orders."

Ruan Fu smiled, and said in a low voice, "Forget it, I'll go back and tell him. Don't go back to the palace, listen to the wind outside before going back."

The carriage turned in one direction at her words.

Ruan Fu directly found a teahouse to sit down, and the people in the teahouse in twos and threes might be able to hear a few words that were speculating about Batu's affairs.

Although it was a low voice, it was not depressing.

Ruan Fu just listened quietly.

Until now, Yu Wujue has never said that she would suppress the rumors, so she naturally understands his thoughts. After meeting Princess Luoxia today, they have reached some consensus.

However, in the teahouse, a figure was unexpectedly found.

When Ruan Fu looked over, over there, Leng Ya, who was sitting in another corner of the teahouse, also saw Ruan Fu, and was getting up and walking towards Ruan Fu, "Princess Jin."

"Mr. Leng doesn't need to be too polite." Ruan Fu smiled lightly, "I don't know if Mr. Leng is here to drink tea or to listen to stories?"

Leng Ya nodded and smiled, "Both."

Ruan Fu made a gesture of asking to sit down, and Leng Ya sat down on a chair not far away, "Thank you, Princess."

Ruan Fu said, "It's been a long time since I saw Mr. Leng in Yongjia City. I heard that Mr. Leng went to the north with the King of Chu during the winter moon and heavy snow?"

Leng Ya nodded slightly and said, "I'm just a mere servant, it's my honor to bother Wangfei remembers."

Ruan Fu smiled, "Mr. Leng is a celebrity under the King of Chu. When he attacked Chuzhou, Mr. Leng once said that he regarded this concubine as a confidant. Naturally, this concubine was deeply impressed."

Leng Ya said, "I'm ashamed, now I absolutely dare not mention this again."

Ruan Fu didn't mind, and said, "Mr. Leng must have heard it for a long time. I don't know what you think about the things that everyone has different opinions on?"

"Presumably Wangfei already has a high opinion in her heart, and my opinion is not worth it." Leng Ya shook her head and said.

"But it may not be so. Mister Leng might as well tell you that this incident just happened today, and my concubine couldn't find a way to deal with it for a while, so I came to this teahouse to listen to the rumors outside. Now that I have met Mr. Leng, I also want to Listen to what you think, Mr. Ruan Fu said.

After Ruan Fu said so, Leng Ya naturally would not stop talking. After pondering for a while, Leng Ya said, "If the rumors are so, it is already obvious. It's just that someone with a heart wants to destroy the alliance between Grassland and Kingdom Chen this time. Yes, rumors do not come out of nothing, something happened to the Batu warrior, or it is just the beginning as the rumors say, maybe, next, the envoys of the grassland will be in danger."

Ruan Fu nodded, expressing his agreement with Leng Ya's words, "Since this is the case, Mr. Leng thinks, what should we do better?"

Leng Ya said, "It's been spread by word of mouth, and it's hard to find out where the rumors came from. If you want to stop them, you have to show the facts to make people believe it. However, to avoid making the rumors come true, you should There are some measures."

Ruan Fu nodded, noncommittal, but said, "Unfortunately, the Batu warrior died in the posthouse today, so far the truth is still far away, neither the doctor on the grassland nor the imperial doctor of our Chen Kingdom have discovered the truth , This matter is really strange, Mr. Leng has a lot of experience, do you have any ideas?"

When Leng Ya heard the words, a look of shock flashed across his eyes, "There is such a thing."

Ruan Fu's eyes moved slightly, and he said inadvertently, "Yes, I can't find anything."

Leng Ya seemed to have realized something, the astonishment on his face was slightly reduced, and he said, "In a sudden period, even if someone did it, it shouldn't be like this."

Ruan Fu sighed, "Yeah, there is such a thing. Now, there is a lot of anger on the grassland because of this matter. This alliance has not yet been reached. On the contrary, there have been many twists and turns, which really makes people feel helpless." .”

After being silent for a while, Leng Ya said, "I can't say that I have rich experience, but I have heard some things, saying that grassland people have some secrets, especially when it comes to life and death, they are always better than others. The place is mysterious, sometimes it makes people feel unbelievable." He said with a clear smile, "However, now is a special period, and the possibility of the death of the Batu warrior is extremely low, even if it is, I am afraid it will be used by others .”

"Used by someone?" Mr. Leng thinks so? "

Leng Ya smiled and said, "I can't help but think so, the princess must be more clear than me."

Ruan Fu smiled faintly, "Mr. Leng is a man who understands many things."

Leng Ya smiled leisurely, "It's just a matter of being loyal to the emperor."

Ruan Fu nodded, and said coldly, "Although it is hard work to stop the rumors, it is not a good idea not to stop them. The princess doesn't seem to be worried."

"How can my concubine not be worried? It's just that Mr. Leng also said that even if such a laborious task is stopped, what should happen will still happen." After she finished speaking, she stood up and said, "Come out After a while, Mr. Leng is free, and this concubine will go ahead."

Leng Ya stood up, bowed her head slightly, "Respectfully send Wangfei off."

Ruan Fu went out, and after two steps, he stopped suddenly, turned his head to look at Leng Ya and said, "Mr. Leng is well-informed, I don't know if he knows about the witchcraft of the Gaoche clan that happened a few days ago."

She asked suddenly, but Leng Ya's expression was normal, looked at Ruan Fu, and smiled suddenly, "I have heard about such a big commotion in Yongjia City, I have heard about it, why did the princess ask this question?"

Ruan Fu shook his head, "It's nothing, the history of the Gaoche clan has been around for a long time, and many people don't know much about it. This concubine thinks of Mr. Leng's rich experience, so I want to ask by the way." Without waiting for Leng Ya to say anything, she said, "When this matter is over, if I have time, I still have to ask Mr. Leng for advice."

Leng Ya hurriedly said, "Don't dare, what I know is only because people in Yongjia City mentioned it recently."

The corners of Ruan Fu's lips curled slightly, but he turned and left without saying anything.

And Leng Ya behind him, watching Ruan Fu's leaving back, his expression gradually turned up, the corners of his lips were slightly pursed, as if thinking.

The rumors in Yongjia City that the trip to the grassland was a dangerous trip still did not subside, but it did not intensify. No matter what, the Batu warriors were going to be brought back to the grassland, and the grassland envoys in the posthouse, too. was more closely guarded.

However, since the incident happened to the Batu warrior, in the past few days, no one in the grassland has had any accidents, and everyone's hanging heart has been relieved a little.

And Princess Luoxia seemed to be considering the overall situation, and did not pursue the matter, and soon finalized the alliance treaty with Emperor Yuanchang, formally stamped and signed it, and at this point, the alliance between Grassland and Kingdom Chen was formally established.

Princess Luoxia's coming to Chen Country was the biggest thing. After this incident, she didn't have much to worry about, only going back to the grassland.

But after the two sides made friends, the relationship between Princess Luoxia and Ruan Fu became better, and there was nothing important right now, so Ruan Fu took Princess Luoxia to visit the scenery of Yongjia in the next few days.

Today, the two made an appointment to go to the lake together.

Taiping Lake is a huge lake in the south of Yongjia City. It connects the inside and outside of the city, and the north is a place with relatively few lakes. Taiping Lake is a rare sight.

Especially now that it is early summer, most of Taiping Lake is covered with emerald green lotus leaves, which grow sweetly in the lake, and the lakeside is also shaded by green trees and gorgeous summer flowers.

Both of them are women, and Princess Luoxia has changed into a Central Plains woman's attire to reflect the style of the painting boat. At the moment, she is sitting leisurely in the painting boat watching the scenery on and by the lake with Ruan Fu.

The boat has reached the center of the lake, and Princess Luoxia watched all the way, and couldn't help admiring, "The scenery in this lake is not bad, it looks very different from the lakes in our grassland, and it is more suitable for people like you, Princess Jin. "

"Oh? Doesn't the princess like it?" Ruan Fu poured a cup of tea for Princess Luoxia and asked with a smile.

Princess Luoxia laughed softly, "I still prefer the scenery of our grassland. Although some of the lakes on our grassland are not as big as this Taiping Lake, for us, every lake is a gift from the gods. , bring blessings to us prairie people. The lake is as sacred as the snow mountain in the hearts of our prairie people. The scenery of the prairie is not like here. On our prairie, the lake is reflected, and you can see the blue sky, white Sometimes there are groups of birds perched by the lake, which looks very spectacular. Of course, there will also be groups of cattle and sheep leading water by the lake. It’s not like you in the Central Plains, get a boat Up there, the boat is decorated like a house, and it's full of people singing ditties."

As Princess Luoxia said, a look of nostalgia appeared on her face, Ruan Fu chuckled and said, "According to what the princess said, I will go to the grassland in the future to live up to the beautiful scenery that the princess said."

Princess Luoxia smiled heartily and said, "Of course I want to go, but it's not very good to go now. In the future, when the grassland settles down, this princess will definitely send a letter to you. At that time, don't worry about it because of the domestic affairs of Chen Kingdom." Refugees are."

Ruan Fu smiled and said, "Naturally, don't forget the princess when the time comes."

Princess Luoxia seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly said, "Why don't we make a ten-year agreement. After ten years, I will come to the Central Plains again, and you will also go to the grassland to see what will happen ten years later and today." What a scene in comparison."

Ruan Fu was taken aback, then smiled suddenly, "Okay, let's make a ten-year agreement."

Seeing this, Princess Luoxia readily picked up the teacup in her hand, and then seemed to think that it was tea instead of wine, she was a little stunned, but Ruan Fu smiled and said, "Tea instead of wine, a promise today, will be fulfilled in the future."

After finishing speaking, she raised the teacup, and Princess Luoxia also smiled cheerfully, "If you make a promise today, you will keep it in the future." After finishing speaking, she happily drank a cup of tea, then took off a small jade bell on her body, and handed it to In front of Ruan Fu, he said, "This is my gift to you, as a token for us to fulfill our promise in the future."

Ruan Fu also took off a piece of jade pendant from his body and handed it to Princess Luoxia, "To each other."

Princess Luoxia happily accepted it. At this time, the two people on Taiping Lake could not have imagined that ten years later, the grassland would no longer be the grassland it is today. , and the two women who swim in the lake today have undergone tremendous changes in ten years of circumstances. The promises that will be fulfilled ten years later, a bell and a jade pendant, will continue a story that neither of them expected at this time.

Princess Luoxia said, "This time I came to the grassland, and I finally did a good thing."

Hearing this, Ruan Fu raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? Could it be that the princess has never been happy this time?"

Princess Luoxia thought of something, cast her gaze on the lake, and said, "It's really a pity to get rid of the troubles caused by those self-defeating people."

Ruan Fu looked at her incomprehensibly, saw her sigh, and said, "But because of King Qing?"

Princess Luoxia suddenly turned her head to look at her, "You, you know?"

After all, she felt a little embarrassed and bit her lips again.

Ruan Fu nodded slightly, "I know something about the third brother and the princess."

Princess Luoxia sighed, and smiled as if she didn't care, "It's regrettable, I want King Qing... Forget it, I am very satisfied to see King Qing here again. After this princess returns, it will probably be soon. I'm getting married too, maybe he's a prince from a certain tribe, but I guess he can't beat me, but it's okay, this princess is responsible for the grassland, this successful alliance, after going back, I have to consolidate the power of the grassland, this book It’s a matter of course.”

She said it indifferently, it sounds like she regards her marriage as a political alliance, but how can women in this world not want their future husband to be the one they love, even if it is Princess Luoxia? Even if she knew that her marriage would be united with the interests of the grassland, it was impossible for her not to have the hope of a young girl in her heart.

Now her words are relaxed, but Ruan Fu still hears the helplessness, the tiredness of having to compromise. Sometimes, the more indifferent the attitude, the more concerned and regretful it is.

As for whether Yu Wuhan really didn't have any thoughts about Princess Luoxia, Ruan Fu wasn't sure, let alone said anything, he just sighed in his heart, compared to too many people, she couldn't be better now , Meeting a Yu Wujue is meeting the best destination in this life.

She didn't speak, but Princess Luoxia smiled as if she wanted to change the topic, "Listen to the lingering and weak songs of your Central Plains from the lake, why don't I sing you a song?" How about a song from our grassland?"

Ruan Fu smiled gently, "All ears."

Princess Luoxia leisurely leaned on the couch, looked at the lake outside the painting boat, and hummed a grassland song, the tune was light at times, sad at times, and lingering at times, which contained many emotions, and made her face look It's a lot blurry.

Ruan Fu listened, but lowered her eyes quietly. She had heard this prairie song before. It was about the prairie girl Azhuoma falling in love with a warrior who saved her, and then passionately pursued the warrior. However, the warrior But from the one who didn't accept it until finally accepting it, the sweetness and pain between the two is the process.The entire libretto sang the joy and shyness of Adroma when he met the warrior, and also sang the love for the warrior and the feeling of being sad and disappointed but never giving up after being rejected by the warrior many times. In the end, because Ah Dolma's ardent pursuit, the warrior was finally tempted, but on the day of getting married, the warrior suddenly turned into an eagle and flew away.Only at this time did Azhuoma know that the original warrior was a sky eagle in the human form, but he could not have love in the world, otherwise he could only become an eagle that kept flying in the air and could not stop until he died of exhaustion. Ma was punished because she couldn't restrain her love in the world because of her pursuit. In the second half of the song, she sang Adroma's disappointment, pain, regret, and her persistence in chasing the sky eagle in the grassland every day. .

This is a famous prairie folk song, and almost all the girls on the prairie can sing it. Ruan Fu listened quietly, and suddenly felt that, looking at Princess Luoxia outside the painting boat, there was a gleam of crystal in the corner of his eye, but that gleam Afterwards, it was supposed to be the libretto of Azhuoma's pain and guilt, but she changed her tune and sang a bit differently.

Ruan Fu sighed, but his face suddenly changed.

I saw the ship shaking slightly, as if there was a big wave coming, Princess Luoxia's tune paused for a moment, but it was only for a moment, when the tune changed, she continued again, as if she didn't know what happened just now.

However, it was also at this time that the sound of splashing water sounded in Taiping Lake, and hundreds of black-clothed figures suddenly appeared on the originally calm lake. Qi Qi went towards Ruan Fu and Princess Luoxia in the boat.

With a "hiss", the boat was punctured in an instant, and a person who was rushing towards the boat made a scream like tearing, and was knocked out of the boat.

The men in black on the lake all came towards the boat and broke out of the water one after another. At almost the same time, figures of men in gray also appeared around the calm and deserted Taiping Lake.

A figure on the lake stepped on the water, almost in the blink of an eye, it was already standing beside Ruan Fu, hugging Ruan Fu, frowning slightly.

Princess Luoxia sneered, glanced at Yu Wujue who was rushing to appear, said nothing, the scimitar in her hand, which was not from the Central Plains, flew out, directly across the neck of a man in black, but the scimitar seemed to know the direction The general returned to her hands.

And Yu Wujue didn't pay attention to Princess Luoxia, grabbed Ruan Fu, stepped on the water, left the boat, and stood on the shore.

And it was only in this instant that the man in black who suddenly appeared in the lake was surrounded by the men in gray by the lake.

The man in black who shot suddenly in the lake understood something at this moment. Although his face was covered by the scarf, there was no expression, but the surprise in his eyes was obvious, "Ambush!"

One of the men in black shouted loudly, "Retreat!"

Princess Luoxia had already jumped onto the boat, and she sneered when she heard the words, and threw the scimitar in her hand, "If you want to withdraw, it depends on whether the princess agrees or not. I have been aggrieved for a few days to lead the snake out of the hole, how can I not even hit the snake?" Just run away!"
