Warlock Toxic General Please Control Yourself
Chapter 175 Don't Know How Charming You Are?
Chapter 175 Don't Know How Charming You Are?
The woman he wanted to call his cousin now, the woman he longed to get close to but could not get close to, could only restrain himself from staying away, unexpectedly because of this magical fate, the two of them would spend another half a year facing each other.
However, just thinking about it once in a while in his heart is already so painful, if he wants to cut it off abruptly after getting along day and night, how much pain will his heart have at that time?
Cao Yunqing smiled wryly in his heart, God, how merciful and cruel you are!
After thinking in his mind for a long time, he adjusted his facial expression, and told his wife, Feng Xuerou, about this in a nonchalant tone.
The moment Feng Xuerou heard the news, her complexion suddenly turned pale, and her petite body was on the verge of falling.
Cao Yunqing thought it was because she was sad because she heard the news that she was going to Cang Yue, so she comforted her: "Ah Rou, I haven't been out for a long time this time, and I will be back before the end of the year.
And it's different from before when it was cold, there was no danger at all, you don't have to worry, I will definitely come back intact. "
Feng Xuerou knew that he had misunderstood what she meant, and was unable to speak under the confusion, so she just nodded indiscriminately.
On the second day, she took advantage of Cao Yunqing's entry into the palace, and after giving the child to her mother-in-law, she went to Du's mansion on the grounds that she wanted to see her aunt.
Feng Xuerou came to see Ji Ziqi, she didn't know if Ji Ziqi was there, she only knew that if she stayed at home and continued to think wildly, she would definitely fall into madness, so she came to Du's mansion to try her luck.
I don't know if it's her luck or Ji Ziqi's bad luck.
Ji Zi is looking forward to being in Ziyuan today, packing the luggage to take to Cang Yue.
It was rare for Feng Xuerou to come, and Madam Du was very happy, so she called Ji Ziqi to accompany her.
When she saw this niece during the Chinese New Year, she already found out that she was full of worries and unhappy.
Mrs. Du once asked her what happened, but she just smiled and didn't answer.
Mrs. Du observed the interaction between Cao Yunqing and her again, and Cao Yunqing was still gentle to this niece.
Although the two are not as loving as they were when they got married, they still care about each other very much.
Mrs. Du knew that some couples in this world might not be like her father-in-law, mother-in-law, or her and Marshal Du. As time passed, the relationship not only did not become weaker, but became stronger and stronger.
Most couples treat each other as guests in the end.
Although she felt sorry for Feng Xuerou, but Cao Yunqing had never heard of taking a concubine or messing around outside, and she was still clean and self-sufficient, Madam Du felt relieved a lot.
It's just that this time she came over suddenly, and Mrs. Du was not sure why she came here, thinking that it might be easier for young people to talk to each other, so she had a simple talk with Feng Xuerou, and asked Ji Ziqi to take her to Ziyuan. The young man whispered to himself.
Ji Ziqi's visit to Feng Xuerou was both strange and not surprising, as if he knew what she was going to say in his heart calmly.
On the contrary, Feng Xuerou, who hadn't been to Ziyuan for a long time, was somewhat restrained.
"Cousin, sit down." Ji Ziqi greeted.
"This garden has changed a lot," Feng Xuerou, who looked around once, stared at a certain place with a dazed expression, and her voice was a little erratic:
"When I was young, I often played with my cousin, and I visited this garden many times. At that time, Ziyuan was not called Ziyuan, but Luoxuanyuan.
It seems that two or three years ago, after my cousin came back from the battlefield, he suddenly ordered someone to remove the plaque.
He said that after the young lady came in, he would name the garden after the young lady's name.
At that time, my aunt was overjoyed, thinking that my cousin had a girl he liked, and hurriedly asked which girl it was, and wanted to come to propose marriage.
The cousin said calmly: "There is no rush, what should come will always come." 'Later, after my cousin got engaged to you, I learned that you had been on Tianliang battlefield,
My aunt and I guessed that my cousin took off the plaque at that time, and I was afraid it was you. "
Feng Xuerou looked away, and smiled slightly at Ji Ziqi, "Biao sister-in-law, you really make me envious."
There was not only envy in those words, but also loss, and a hint of jealousy that was trying to hide.
Feng Xuerou didn't mention the main point, Ji Ziqi smiled and echoed her, "I made my cousin laugh."
After answering this sentence, the two of them didn't make a sound for a long time, and the room suddenly fell silent. They didn't know whether they were waiting for the other party to speak first, or they were thinking about what to say next.
Ji Ziqi watched Feng Xuerou's expression change, sighed inwardly, and said directly, "Cousin is here today?"
Someone started, and the next words seemed to follow suit.
Feng Xuerou let out a sigh of relief, "Cousin-in-law, I took the liberty to come here today, because I want to ask you something!"
Ji Ziqi said: "Cousin, you are welcome, our family, if you have anything to say, please speak up, I will help if I can!"
"Really?" Feng Xuerou's eyes glowed with hope, "You can definitely help me with this matter!"
"Cousin, please elaborate!"
"This time I am going to Cang Yue, my cousin is an envoy, and His Majesty has given you the power to decide who will go. Therefore, I would like to ask my cousin," Feng Xuerou bit her lips, "Don't let my husband go!"
"Why?" Ji Ziqi frowned, "Cousin should be very clear that going to Cang Yue this time is a test and training for my cousin's husband to take over as Minister of the Household Department.
If they pass through smoothly, after returning to Li Country, everything behind will naturally come to fruition.
But if it was someone else who went there this time, and that person performed well, it might become the biggest obstacle for my cousin-in-law to be promoted to the Minister of the Household Department in the future.
And it was only half a year before and after, so my cousin wanted to object? "
Feng Xuerou's expression suddenly became a little ferocious, and her voice became a little colder, "Biao sister-in-law, don't you really know?"
"Cousin, you might as well speak up if you have something to say." Ji Ziqi looked at her frankly.
The hatred in Feng Xuerou's eyes was too late to restrain, and fell directly into Ji Ziqi's eyes.
She turned her head away, with jealousy, "Don't my cousin know how attractive she is?"
"I know!" Feng Xuerou's attitude angered Ji Ziqi, she snorted coldly, with arrogance, "But so what?
Do I still want to feel ashamed because my charm attracts the love of others, and then change myself?Others' admiration for me is other people's business, so what does it have to do with me? "
"You?" Feng Xuerou turned her face, tears were already in her eyes, her whole body couldn't stop trembling slightly, I don't know if it was because of Ji Ziqi's anger, or because of something else.
Ji Ziqi didn't think so, but Feng Xuerou's attitude made her very uncomfortable.
I can't keep my husband's heart, and I don't want to solve the problem, but go up to find trouble for others.
If she had given Cao Yunqing the slightest hint that Feng Xuerou came to mock her, maybe she would still feel ashamed.
But she thought that she had never had any ambiguity with Cao Yunqing, so she would not be willing to bear such accusations.
"Cousin," Ji Ziqi said coldly, "Although Your Majesty says that I am fully responsible for the candidates for going to Cang Yue, they are actually selected by the imperial court starting from the future of the Li Kingdom.
I will never easily change the decision of the court because of my cousin's personal suspicion. I hope my cousin understands that I don't have the ability.
Even if I have, I am not willing to make a decision that damages the imperial court for personal matters!Cousin, please go back, I will take you out to say goodbye to your mother. "
"Sister-in-law," Feng Xuerou blushed instantly after being so severely rejected, tears rolled in her eyes, and finally she couldn't hold back the tears.
As soon as the tears fell, he simply whimpered and cried.
Although Ji Ziqi is a woman, she is most afraid of women's tears, not to mention Feng Xuerou has been in the back house for a long time, her knowledge is limited, and she only has her husband Cao Yunqing in her eyes, so she can't be completely blamed for saying that.
Moreover, there was a gap between Cao Yunqing and Feng Xuerou's relationship, no matter what, it was because of her, and the two families were related by marriage.
From the bottom of her heart, she really wanted to solve this matter, otherwise, she would feel a little uncomfortable going to Cang Yue with Cao Yunqing.
What Ji Ziqi said just now was true, and it was also because of Feng Xuerou's attitude that she was dissatisfied.
As a woman, she really doesn't like someone making herself extremely ugly for a man who has changed his mind.
Ji Ziqi recalled the first time he saw Feng Xuerou, leaning against Cao Yunqing, delicate and tender, like a little flower.
At that time, she might have begun to realize Cao Yunqing's change, but her heart was still full of him.
But now, Feng Xuerou's face has been deformed by this long-term self-torture, and she can't find the soft and delicate beauty that she had before.
Ji Ziqi sighed, and handed Feng Xuerou a piece of handkerchief. Afraid that his servants would see him gossiping, he went to fetch a basin of water himself.
Feng Xuerou's suppressed emotions were released at this moment.
She didn't dare to go back to her mother's house or come to Du's house, because she was afraid that her family and aunt would see that she was not doing well and worry.
So at home, I forcefully smile at my mother-in-law and son every day, but the torture in my heart never goes away.
As time went on, she became more and more worried, and her temper became worse and worse. Sometimes she was in a bad mood and lost her temper with her son, who no longer wanted to cling to her and act like a baby.
This made Feng Xuerou feel even more disappointed. She knew that this was not going to work, but she couldn't help it, and couldn't find a solution.
If Cao Yunqing was not suddenly sent to Cang Yue this time, maybe she would continue to torture herself.
Feng Xuerou cried for more than half an hour.Ji Ziqi sat aside, silently accompanying her quietly.
When she was tired from crying, her eyes were swollen out of shape, but she felt much more at ease.
Seeing that she had stopped, Ji Ziqi brought some water for her to wash.
After everything was over, Feng Xuerou said embarrassingly, "I made my cousin laugh."
That timid look seemed to have returned to the way Ji Ziqi had seen her for the first time.
Ji Ziqi smiled and said, "You're welcome, cousin, we are a family."
After Feng Xuerou was in a better mood, her words became less harsh, and she said quietly: "Cousin, how did you catch my cousin's heart? Can you teach me?"
Ji Ziqi said: "Cousin, every couple has their own way of getting along, what suits me and your cousin may not suit you and your cousin-in-law."
Feng Xuerou's face turned pale, she was speechless in a daze, extremely disappointed.
"However, I can tell you my own thoughts. As for how much you can listen to my cousin, it's up to you personally, cousin."
Feng Xuerou's eyes lit up, and she nodded hastily.
"A man or woman in this world, from the moment of birth, is constantly growing and advancing.
Before marriage, men and women experience almost the same growth trajectory, so it is easy to connect with each other and have many common topics. Both of them think that they can spend their lives together hand in hand.
However, after marriage, a woman's world becomes a man, children and home.In addition to women, children and home, a man's world also has a vast world outside.
As a result, one stayed in place, and the other drifted away. The two people who were holding hands were forced to separate due to the great power of time.
At the beginning, she may not notice it, but slowly, the woman looks at the back of the man who is getting further and further away, not knowing what to do, but the man is already attracted by the more beautiful scenery, and forgets the woman behind him.
Some responsible people, such as the cousin's husband, feel guilty, blame themselves, and suffer because their own wife can't keep up with their own pace, and those who can keep up with their own pace become someone else's wife.
Some irresponsible ones, fascinated by flowers and plants, carry beautiful concubines home one by one, completely ignoring the tears of grievance from the original wife. "
Speaking of this, Ji Ziqi paused and said, "Cousin, do you understand what I mean?"
"I understand, but I'm a woman, and I don't have the talent of my cousin, how can I get in touch with the outside world?" Feng Xuerou looked depressed.
"Cousin, there are many restrictions on women in this world. No matter how talented I am, I can't be an official. And it doesn't have to be my talent to get in touch with the outside world."
Ji Ziqi said: "I mean, my cousin should create her own world.
For example, my world is magic. I use what I have learned to help Li develop its economy and reduce wars.
As for your cousin, his world is a battlefield, an endless war, and there should be contradictions and opposites between us.
But he and I respect each other's world, help each other grow, and move forward together, this is the most important thing.
The cousin can do the same, find what she likes, what she is good at, and create another world for herself besides boys and children and home.
This way you can keep up with him and let him see you again. "
"What do you like? What you are good at?" Feng Xuerou murmured to herself, and then showed a painful expression, "Cousin-in-law, I don't have one. In the past six years of marriage, I have been serving my husband and in-laws since the beginning.
After having a child, half of my mind is devoted to the child. How can I be good at it? "
Ji Ziqi looked at her expression of self-blame and inferiority, and couldn't help reaching out to hold her hand, "Cousin, don't worry! If you can't think of what you are good at, why don't you start with what you like first?
Go back today and think about it carefully. If you think of something and you want to tell me, then send someone to tell me. It doesn't matter if you don't want to tell me.But I hope my cousin will listen to what I just said. "
The warmth from her palm miraculously soothed Feng Xuerou's impatience, and she nodded involuntarily.
When parting, Madam Du pretended not to see Feng Xuerou's red and swollen eyes, and said with a smile, "Ah Rou, I will spend more time to see my aunt in the future."
After Feng Xuerou left, Madam Du took a look at Ji Ziqi and saw her shaking her head. She knew it was inconvenient to talk about it, so she stopped asking.
As long as Feng Xuerou is willing to speak out, everything will turn around, it doesn't matter whether she knows it or not.
Young people's affairs should be resolved by the young people themselves.
Du Feng decided to bring all four of them, Xi Le Ankang, with him, plus fifty secret guards, as candidates from the Du mansion to go to Cang Yue Kingdom.
After arriving at Cang Yue, Du Kang followed him to Donglin, leaving the other three and fifty dark guards to Ji Ziqi.
After hearing the news, Du An, Du Xi and Du Kang said calmly: "Yes!"
Only Du Le showed a disappointed expression on his face. In fact, Du Le has never been happy since he knew that Ayu was going to Xiqiang with Zhang Zhu.
Now he is about to go to Cang Yue, and when he comes back, Ayu has already gone to Xiqiang, so he will never see her again?
The distressed Du Le decided to go to Ayu for a drink. No one knew how he made a fuss, only that the drunk Du Le was sent back intact this time.
Every time I got drunk before, my clothes were stripped and thrown on the ground, or my purse was taken away, and I had no money to pay the bill, so I had to pay with work.
It was the first time that he came back so completely.
Du Xi and the others knew that he was about to part with Xinshang forever, so they didn't bother to provoke him.
But when Du Xi saw Du Le like this, he thought of his little girl who was getting more and more fresh, and felt that it was necessary to warn the servants in the whole house, as well as the little girl herself.
All the male servants in the whole house knew that the little girl was Du Xi's favorite, and they never dared to provoke her, and even avoided her when they saw her.
The little girl An An, who didn't know anything about all this, once thought that she was too unpopular and everyone avoided her, and even secretly felt sad for a long time.
Under Du Xi's coaxing, coaxing, and coercion, An An, with tears in her eyes, promised him that she would never go out privately, never talk to the man in the house and all the men who wanted to talk to her, and if anyone wanted to talk about marriage for her, She also had to refuse straight away, and when he came back, he would help her examine the man's character before making a decision.
Du Xi left satisfied.
During this period, Ji Ziqi went to Jiang's mansion and Lin's mansion to say goodbye one by one. Everyone was reluctant to give up, but there was no way to do it. They only told her to take good care of herself.
To Mrs. Du's delight, Ji Ziqi's menstrual event came, and both of them let go of their hearts.
It's just that Du Feng, who doesn't eat meat every day, and doesn't eat meat a few times, is unhappy in his heart and body.
The resentful little eyes made Ji Ziqi titter in his heart, and finally she turned to joy after she promised him to make up for him after menstruation.
However, the way he stared at her every day like a wolf staring at a sheep in those few days made Ji Ziqi startled.
During the period, Feng Xuerou also sent a message, which only wrote a few words: Cousin, I found it, thank you!
Ji Ziqi smiled slightly after receiving this letter, and was really happy for her.
She didn't know if the relationship between Feng Xuerou and Cao Yunqing would turn around, but she believed that if Feng Xuerou had her own affairs and stopped focusing on Cao Yunqing, she would be happier.
May [-]th is here. To show the importance he attaches to the envoys, His Majesty the Emperor personally saw them off at the gate of the palace, wishing them a smooth journey and success!
The officials of the household department who went to Cang Yue this time and the students of the Art Masters Association were all younger generations with low qualifications, and had never had the opportunity to pay their respects to the sky.
Seeing them now, everyone was so excited that they couldn't control themselves.While his heart was surging, he secretly swore in his heart that if he went to Cang Yue, he would definitely not betray His Majesty's trust!
Only Du Le was still depressed. After His Majesty left, he stretched his neck and kept looking into the high palace wall.
I hope to see the one who came to him suddenly a few nights ago, leaving only a note of "don't look for her" after one night, and the one who avoided him these days, so that he can't wait to beat him up Ass woman!
It's a pity that the palace wall is so high that nothing can be seen except the guards on the wall.
Du Le twisted his neck and looked at it for a long time, until his neck became sore and the person he wanted to see still did not appear, then he slowly turned his head in disappointment.
Not long after he turned his head, a woman in a guard uniform slowly appeared on the city wall.
Just looking at it from the side, no trace of emotional ups and downs can be seen on her heroic face.
It's just that when he saw the little black spot that was fading away, he finally breathed a little harder.
Du Le, goodbye by fate!
A group of people set off on May [-]th. After the first day of July, the weather was cool, and they entered Hasi, and walked for about two days. They will arrive at the location of Cangyue Palace, Yueling, tomorrow.
Suddenly, out of the nearby woods, a group of black and ragged people, men and women, old and young, popped out.
His Majesty the emperor sent a thousand imperial troops to accompany him, immediately drew out their swords, and quickly surrounded Ji Ziqi and others in the center.
The group of people who looked like refugees did not launch any attacks, but knelt down in unison, prostrated themselves on the ground and kept shouting: "I beg you to give us rations!"
As a result, the sword-wielding guards looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
The leader of the forbidden army frowned deeply, and came to the outside of Ji Ziqi's carriage, "Envoy Ji, there are about [-] refugees blocking the way ahead, envoy Ji please give instructions, what should we do?"
"Understood, Chief Qin, please wait for a while." Ji Ziqi's voice came from inside the carriage.
At this time, Du Feng was in her carriage, and the two came together, sometimes riding a carriage together, sometimes riding a horse together, sometimes riding a horse and riding a carriage together.
The two were newly married, one was an envoy, the other was a general, and even His Majesty the Emperor allowed General Du to send envoys to Cangyue, so everyone turned a blind eye to their behavior of mixing public affairs with some private affairs.
The shouts of the crowd outside were so loud that Ji Ziqi and Du Feng naturally heard them too.
She glared at him resentfully, her clothes and hair bun were all messed up by him, took a few deep breaths, and said, "Call Mr. Du'an, Du Xi, and Cao to discuss together."
Du Feng knocked on the car window, Du Le appeared outside, and was ordered to call someone.
As soon as Du An, Du Xi, and Cao Yunqing heard the movement outside, they immediately got out of the carriage and waited for Ji Ziqi's summons. As soon as Du Le arrived, they immediately walked to Ji Ziqi's carriage.
There were many people, the space in the carriage was a bit small, and the weather was hot, so a few people got out of the carriage.
A servant held up a huge umbrella and brought stools and tea and snacks. Ji Ziqi and the others sat down and began to discuss the situation they were facing now.
"This place is only one day away from Yueling, these people must be people nearby." Cao Yunqing said.
Du An said: "I agree with Mr. Cao's statement, the weather is so hot that food cannot be stored at all, if it is not for the people nearby, without water and food, it will not last for two days.
There is another possibility, though, to keep them supported if someone is nearby to provide them with food and water. "
Du Xi said: "As Duan said, I think the latter is more likely.
This place is close to Yueling. From the point of view of the people near the capital of our country of Li, even if they are poor, they are rarely so poor that they can’t even eat three meals a day, let alone so many people get together at one time.
Although Cang Yue can't be compared with our Li country, but if it is said that the people near Yueling are so poor, I don't quite believe it.hehe. "
Duane nodded: "And that group of people moved in an orderly manner, obviously someone has taught them. If it is an ordinary refugee, I'm afraid they will rush to them and grab their things.
Although we have a thousand imperial guards, there are quite a few of them. In the face of hunger, risking their lives will definitely happen. "
Du Feng said: "This general also feels that most of these refugees are instigated by others! Otherwise, why would they know that the envoys will pass by here today?"
Cao Yunqing said: "Could it be that in the Cang Yue court, some people objected to asking for support from our Li country, and they made such a bad plan?"
Du An said: "Under the leadership of the young lady, our country's economy has not damaged a single copper coin of the dignitaries. It is all funded and promoted by the private sector. Many dignitaries only lend money to collect rent, and they have also made a lot of profits from it.
If people in the imperial court oppose a decree, it is because the interests and powers generated by the decree conflict with their own interests.
However, the development of our Li country has proved that it can also drive economic development without harming the interests of the powerful, so it can be explained that it has nothing to do with profit;
The role of the envoys is mainly to promote the development of Cang Yue, and has nothing to do with the power of the imperial court, nor has it anything to do with power. "
Du Xi said: "So what is the purpose of today's outing? Who is behind the instigation? Is it purely to show off someone, or is there another conspiracy? It's not easy to judge for the time being. Hehe."
Ji Ziqi nodded: "I see, let's not make a conclusion on this matter for the time being. Let's talk about the predicament in front of us first. What is your best plan?
We will arrive at Yueling tomorrow, so there is no point in distributing the stored food in our hands to these people.But, will these people leave after collecting the food?
If you don't leave, if you face a group of unarmed people, if you do something, you have no heart to bear it.If we don't do anything, we will be stuck here and miss our schedule, and we will also face the situation of running out of ammunition and food. "
Du Xi said: "How about sending someone to negotiate with him?"
Du Feng said: "Those people were instigated by others, even if you were sent to negotiate with them, if those people ignored them and just knelt down and shouted 'I beg you to reward me', even if you have a good tongue, there is nothing you can do about it them."
Several people shut up for a while, lost in thought.
Ji Ziqi said: "So I plan to explain it directly to them."
"How do you say it?" Several people said in unison.
"Using power to overwhelm people." Ji Ziqi smiled and said: "We are here at the request of the Emperor of Cang Yue Kingdom, and we dare not delay at all!"
Cao Yunqing hesitated, "Is Envoy Ji planning to do something?"
"No." Ji Ziqi said: "Suppress it first, and then talk about the next method..."
Du Xi hehe said: "Young Madam, this method is very good, even if you make a move in the end, when it comes to the Emperor of Cang Yue Kingdom, we will take it for granted."
"I'll accompany you!" Du Feng said.
Ji Ziqi smiled at him, his expression seemed to say: Who are you with?
Cao Yunqing silently looked away.
Ji Ziqi and Du Feng walked to the front, jumped on the shaft of the car, and looked down at the humble group of people lying on the ground.
"I am Ji Ziqi, the envoy of the Li Kingdom. This time, I was invited by Emperor Cang Yue and appointed by His Majesty the Emperor Li to come to Cang Yue to assist Cang Yue in its development.
I don't know everyone, why are you blocking my way here? "
"I beg your nobles to give me some rations!" Hundreds of people shouted in unison, the momentum was very strong.
Ji Ziqi's voice was clear and shallow: "The things we brought from Li Kingdom to Cang Yue were all gifts to Emperor Cang Yue to show the friendship between the two countries, so there is no silver and food.
Under such circumstances, how can I help you all? Could it be that you want the things on this car dedicated to Emperor Cang Yue? "
The people below looked at each other for a while, "I beg you to give me some rations!"
"Many of the presents presented to Emperor Cang Yue on this cart were kept iced, and they lasted until tomorrow at most. If they were blocked for an hour, the ice would melt and the offerings would be damaged. This is a crime of destroying the royal family's belongings. , can you afford it?"
Ji Ziqi snorted coldly, and said sharply: "You can't bear it! If the news spreads back to Li Kingdom, and His Majesty the Emperor of Li Kingdom blames it, we can't afford it either!
If you all want to block it, don't blame me for having no eyes in the swords and swords of the imperial guards of the Li Kingdom! "
The group of people who bowed their heads still hung their heads, and no longer shouted slogans about rewarding rations.
"Envoy Ji, I'm just waiting for the nobles to show kindness and give you some silver or food so that we can survive. Is envoy Ji going to fight with swords because of this?" Someone in the crowd uttered a voice.
Ji Ziqi's voice was sonorous and forceful, "Silver and food belong to our country of Li. Why do you ask for it? You are blocking the way at this moment, it is a threat, not a request! Since it is a threat, why should our country of Li be afraid of it?"
The crowd was silent for a while, and then they all said in unison: "I beg you to give me some food!"
But it was obvious that the voice this time was much smaller than last time.
"If you just want food, I have a solution!" Ji Ziqi said softly, "As long as you are willing to cooperate!"
The person who spoke before said again, "How to cooperate?"
"This place is only one day away from Yueling. You can go to Yueling with me and wait for the carriage. When the time comes, you will be verified as refugees and penniless. I will ask Emperor Cangyue for free. Send you a month's rations.
As the envoy sent by Li Kingdom to Cang Yue, I believe that Emperor Cang Yue will give me a little favor. "Ji Ziqi said: "I don't know what you think? "
There was another silence, and then the previous man said: "We don't believe it, you must have tricked us into going, and you want to arrest us and punish us, so we won't go!"
Many people in the crowd echoed loudly, "Yes, don't go!"
"Do you also know that what you are doing now is sinful?" Ji Ziqi said calmly.
"We are not guilty now, but the official word is two words. After we go, why don't you just let you say that if you want to commit a crime, why don't you have excuses?"
"Want to commit a crime?" Ji Ziqi sneered, "What we have now is the gifts from His Majesty the Emperor of Li, including this carriage, this clothes, and all the silver and food.
The second is dedicated to Emperor Cang Yue.Can you afford it?Which one has come into your hands, is it not a treasonable thing?Do you dare to ask for it? "
"I don't believe it!" The man's voice became angry with embarrassment: "You are high officials of the Li country, how can you be penniless?"
"I have a lot of silver, but those silver are all in Li country." Ji Ziqi put on a smile on his face, his voice was still cold, "Do you want to kidnap me and ask my family to redeem me with silver?"
The crowd fell silent again, Ji Ziqi swept across the people below, and then said to Du Feng who was beside him: "General, there are a group of unscrupulous people who first tried to snatch and destroy the royal family's property, and then tried to kidnap officials of the Li Kingdom, may I ask?" , according to the laws of the Li Kingdom, what should be done?"
"Kill Unforgiven!" The man next to him was tough and tough, even though he was separated from him a little far away, the men kneeling at the front could feel the murderous aura.
Someone shuddered uncontrollably.
The man's tone and the cold air on his body made them understand that this man was not joking!
His sword hadn't been pulled out, and he couldn't tell whether he had a sword on him, but at this moment, his whole body was like a sword drawn out of its sheath, ready to slash at the enemy he considered mercilessly at any time!
Ji Ziqi saw the shrunken and unconsciously lowered bodies of the people below, and nodded in approval to Du Feng.
From an angle that outsiders couldn't see, Du Feng raised his eyebrows at Ji Ziqi, with ambiguity in his eyes: Thank you, me?Is this sincerity enough?
Pooh!Ji Ziqi rolled his eyes at him, turned to the people who were lying down, and said in a gentle tone, "However, since you don't know about this crime, I guess I will let you go!
Please either disperse on your own, or follow me to Yueling, otherwise, you will bear the consequences! "
After a short pause, the voice changed, "But, this person who incited everyone to make trouble must not be let go!"
As soon as the words fell, Du Le, who was at the side, quickly got into the crowd, and pulled out the person who had been talking to Ji Ziqi just now.
The man was holding his clothes by Du Le, he was a little out of breath, his face was flushed, "Why do you arrest me?"
"It's up to you to take the lead and lead people to prevent the envoys from entering Yueling!" Ji Ziqi said coldly.
"What evidence do you have to prove that I took the lead? Is it because I just answered your question? I don't accept it?" the man shouted.
Ji Ziqi snorted, "Evidence? That's a matter for the Cang Yue court!"
Then he waved his hand, "Take it down!"
The man was still about to argue, but Du Le had already knocked him unconscious.
Several people got into the carriage, and the forbidden army held a sword in one hand and shouted: "Those who stand in the way! They will be regarded as treasoners and will be killed without pardon!"
The voices of thousands of people reached the sky in unison, startling the birds in the forest on both sides.
The refugee kneeling on the ground unconsciously looked towards the middle of the crowd, only to see someone nodded slightly, and everyone stood up and stepped aside.
And all of this has long been seen by the secret guards of the Du Mansion.
-
"My lord! Li Guo's group passed through smoothly, and two of them were arrested!" said a thin figure in the darkness.
"Kill it." The man who spoke had a clear voice, but what he said was extremely cruel, as if it wasn't two lives.
"Yes." The thin figure left.
After a rustling sound, someone came in and lit the oil lamp.
The room gradually lit up, and the simple yet majestic furnishings showed that the owner liked to be noble and clean.
Inside the beige curtain, two figures appeared, one tall and one petite.
That petite figure is exquisite and exquisite, just looking at the figure has already made people's imagination run wild.
She embraced the man's waist from behind, and put her head on the man's back, her voice was laziness after the affair, "My lord, can I let my concubine stay to serve you tonight?"
The man in front didn't move at all, his voice was as clear as when he said the word "killed" just now, and said lightly: "Go back."
The woman seemed unwilling, but she also knew that the man said one is one and the other is two, and she would never go back on his word.
After a short pause, he reluctantly put on his clothes.
After a while, a pair of tender white jade hands opened the curtain, and a pretty woman came out.
Without the comparison of the man, it can be seen that her figure is not petite, with light eyebrows, delicate face, and a gentle and virtuous appearance.
It's just that the reddish cheeks, the slight hatred in the misty eyes, and the words she took the initiative to stay overnight just now revealed another side of her inadvertently.
Before the curtain was raised and fell back, the man who was sitting by the bed flashed by with his slender eyes, jade-like chest, black hair, and calm expression.
If you just look at this scene, it will give people a kind of beauty like the tranquility of the years, but if you add the two extremely light "kill" and "go back" just now, it will no longer be the tranquility of the years, but the beauty of the time. The indifference of everything makes people feel frightened.
The man inside sat still for a long time, his head was slightly drooping, his eyes were covered by long eyelashes, it was hard to tell whether he was asleep or just bowed his head in thought.
After a long time, between the loose black hair, the corners of the mouth on both sides were slightly raised, forming a weird arc.
(End of this chapter)
The woman he wanted to call his cousin now, the woman he longed to get close to but could not get close to, could only restrain himself from staying away, unexpectedly because of this magical fate, the two of them would spend another half a year facing each other.
However, just thinking about it once in a while in his heart is already so painful, if he wants to cut it off abruptly after getting along day and night, how much pain will his heart have at that time?
Cao Yunqing smiled wryly in his heart, God, how merciful and cruel you are!
After thinking in his mind for a long time, he adjusted his facial expression, and told his wife, Feng Xuerou, about this in a nonchalant tone.
The moment Feng Xuerou heard the news, her complexion suddenly turned pale, and her petite body was on the verge of falling.
Cao Yunqing thought it was because she was sad because she heard the news that she was going to Cang Yue, so she comforted her: "Ah Rou, I haven't been out for a long time this time, and I will be back before the end of the year.
And it's different from before when it was cold, there was no danger at all, you don't have to worry, I will definitely come back intact. "
Feng Xuerou knew that he had misunderstood what she meant, and was unable to speak under the confusion, so she just nodded indiscriminately.
On the second day, she took advantage of Cao Yunqing's entry into the palace, and after giving the child to her mother-in-law, she went to Du's mansion on the grounds that she wanted to see her aunt.
Feng Xuerou came to see Ji Ziqi, she didn't know if Ji Ziqi was there, she only knew that if she stayed at home and continued to think wildly, she would definitely fall into madness, so she came to Du's mansion to try her luck.
I don't know if it's her luck or Ji Ziqi's bad luck.
Ji Zi is looking forward to being in Ziyuan today, packing the luggage to take to Cang Yue.
It was rare for Feng Xuerou to come, and Madam Du was very happy, so she called Ji Ziqi to accompany her.
When she saw this niece during the Chinese New Year, she already found out that she was full of worries and unhappy.
Mrs. Du once asked her what happened, but she just smiled and didn't answer.
Mrs. Du observed the interaction between Cao Yunqing and her again, and Cao Yunqing was still gentle to this niece.
Although the two are not as loving as they were when they got married, they still care about each other very much.
Mrs. Du knew that some couples in this world might not be like her father-in-law, mother-in-law, or her and Marshal Du. As time passed, the relationship not only did not become weaker, but became stronger and stronger.
Most couples treat each other as guests in the end.
Although she felt sorry for Feng Xuerou, but Cao Yunqing had never heard of taking a concubine or messing around outside, and she was still clean and self-sufficient, Madam Du felt relieved a lot.
It's just that this time she came over suddenly, and Mrs. Du was not sure why she came here, thinking that it might be easier for young people to talk to each other, so she had a simple talk with Feng Xuerou, and asked Ji Ziqi to take her to Ziyuan. The young man whispered to himself.
Ji Ziqi's visit to Feng Xuerou was both strange and not surprising, as if he knew what she was going to say in his heart calmly.
On the contrary, Feng Xuerou, who hadn't been to Ziyuan for a long time, was somewhat restrained.
"Cousin, sit down." Ji Ziqi greeted.
"This garden has changed a lot," Feng Xuerou, who looked around once, stared at a certain place with a dazed expression, and her voice was a little erratic:
"When I was young, I often played with my cousin, and I visited this garden many times. At that time, Ziyuan was not called Ziyuan, but Luoxuanyuan.
It seems that two or three years ago, after my cousin came back from the battlefield, he suddenly ordered someone to remove the plaque.
He said that after the young lady came in, he would name the garden after the young lady's name.
At that time, my aunt was overjoyed, thinking that my cousin had a girl he liked, and hurriedly asked which girl it was, and wanted to come to propose marriage.
The cousin said calmly: "There is no rush, what should come will always come." 'Later, after my cousin got engaged to you, I learned that you had been on Tianliang battlefield,
My aunt and I guessed that my cousin took off the plaque at that time, and I was afraid it was you. "
Feng Xuerou looked away, and smiled slightly at Ji Ziqi, "Biao sister-in-law, you really make me envious."
There was not only envy in those words, but also loss, and a hint of jealousy that was trying to hide.
Feng Xuerou didn't mention the main point, Ji Ziqi smiled and echoed her, "I made my cousin laugh."
After answering this sentence, the two of them didn't make a sound for a long time, and the room suddenly fell silent. They didn't know whether they were waiting for the other party to speak first, or they were thinking about what to say next.
Ji Ziqi watched Feng Xuerou's expression change, sighed inwardly, and said directly, "Cousin is here today?"
Someone started, and the next words seemed to follow suit.
Feng Xuerou let out a sigh of relief, "Cousin-in-law, I took the liberty to come here today, because I want to ask you something!"
Ji Ziqi said: "Cousin, you are welcome, our family, if you have anything to say, please speak up, I will help if I can!"
"Really?" Feng Xuerou's eyes glowed with hope, "You can definitely help me with this matter!"
"Cousin, please elaborate!"
"This time I am going to Cang Yue, my cousin is an envoy, and His Majesty has given you the power to decide who will go. Therefore, I would like to ask my cousin," Feng Xuerou bit her lips, "Don't let my husband go!"
"Why?" Ji Ziqi frowned, "Cousin should be very clear that going to Cang Yue this time is a test and training for my cousin's husband to take over as Minister of the Household Department.
If they pass through smoothly, after returning to Li Country, everything behind will naturally come to fruition.
But if it was someone else who went there this time, and that person performed well, it might become the biggest obstacle for my cousin-in-law to be promoted to the Minister of the Household Department in the future.
And it was only half a year before and after, so my cousin wanted to object? "
Feng Xuerou's expression suddenly became a little ferocious, and her voice became a little colder, "Biao sister-in-law, don't you really know?"
"Cousin, you might as well speak up if you have something to say." Ji Ziqi looked at her frankly.
The hatred in Feng Xuerou's eyes was too late to restrain, and fell directly into Ji Ziqi's eyes.
She turned her head away, with jealousy, "Don't my cousin know how attractive she is?"
"I know!" Feng Xuerou's attitude angered Ji Ziqi, she snorted coldly, with arrogance, "But so what?
Do I still want to feel ashamed because my charm attracts the love of others, and then change myself?Others' admiration for me is other people's business, so what does it have to do with me? "
"You?" Feng Xuerou turned her face, tears were already in her eyes, her whole body couldn't stop trembling slightly, I don't know if it was because of Ji Ziqi's anger, or because of something else.
Ji Ziqi didn't think so, but Feng Xuerou's attitude made her very uncomfortable.
I can't keep my husband's heart, and I don't want to solve the problem, but go up to find trouble for others.
If she had given Cao Yunqing the slightest hint that Feng Xuerou came to mock her, maybe she would still feel ashamed.
But she thought that she had never had any ambiguity with Cao Yunqing, so she would not be willing to bear such accusations.
"Cousin," Ji Ziqi said coldly, "Although Your Majesty says that I am fully responsible for the candidates for going to Cang Yue, they are actually selected by the imperial court starting from the future of the Li Kingdom.
I will never easily change the decision of the court because of my cousin's personal suspicion. I hope my cousin understands that I don't have the ability.
Even if I have, I am not willing to make a decision that damages the imperial court for personal matters!Cousin, please go back, I will take you out to say goodbye to your mother. "
"Sister-in-law," Feng Xuerou blushed instantly after being so severely rejected, tears rolled in her eyes, and finally she couldn't hold back the tears.
As soon as the tears fell, he simply whimpered and cried.
Although Ji Ziqi is a woman, she is most afraid of women's tears, not to mention Feng Xuerou has been in the back house for a long time, her knowledge is limited, and she only has her husband Cao Yunqing in her eyes, so she can't be completely blamed for saying that.
Moreover, there was a gap between Cao Yunqing and Feng Xuerou's relationship, no matter what, it was because of her, and the two families were related by marriage.
From the bottom of her heart, she really wanted to solve this matter, otherwise, she would feel a little uncomfortable going to Cang Yue with Cao Yunqing.
What Ji Ziqi said just now was true, and it was also because of Feng Xuerou's attitude that she was dissatisfied.
As a woman, she really doesn't like someone making herself extremely ugly for a man who has changed his mind.
Ji Ziqi recalled the first time he saw Feng Xuerou, leaning against Cao Yunqing, delicate and tender, like a little flower.
At that time, she might have begun to realize Cao Yunqing's change, but her heart was still full of him.
But now, Feng Xuerou's face has been deformed by this long-term self-torture, and she can't find the soft and delicate beauty that she had before.
Ji Ziqi sighed, and handed Feng Xuerou a piece of handkerchief. Afraid that his servants would see him gossiping, he went to fetch a basin of water himself.
Feng Xuerou's suppressed emotions were released at this moment.
She didn't dare to go back to her mother's house or come to Du's house, because she was afraid that her family and aunt would see that she was not doing well and worry.
So at home, I forcefully smile at my mother-in-law and son every day, but the torture in my heart never goes away.
As time went on, she became more and more worried, and her temper became worse and worse. Sometimes she was in a bad mood and lost her temper with her son, who no longer wanted to cling to her and act like a baby.
This made Feng Xuerou feel even more disappointed. She knew that this was not going to work, but she couldn't help it, and couldn't find a solution.
If Cao Yunqing was not suddenly sent to Cang Yue this time, maybe she would continue to torture herself.
Feng Xuerou cried for more than half an hour.Ji Ziqi sat aside, silently accompanying her quietly.
When she was tired from crying, her eyes were swollen out of shape, but she felt much more at ease.
Seeing that she had stopped, Ji Ziqi brought some water for her to wash.
After everything was over, Feng Xuerou said embarrassingly, "I made my cousin laugh."
That timid look seemed to have returned to the way Ji Ziqi had seen her for the first time.
Ji Ziqi smiled and said, "You're welcome, cousin, we are a family."
After Feng Xuerou was in a better mood, her words became less harsh, and she said quietly: "Cousin, how did you catch my cousin's heart? Can you teach me?"
Ji Ziqi said: "Cousin, every couple has their own way of getting along, what suits me and your cousin may not suit you and your cousin-in-law."
Feng Xuerou's face turned pale, she was speechless in a daze, extremely disappointed.
"However, I can tell you my own thoughts. As for how much you can listen to my cousin, it's up to you personally, cousin."
Feng Xuerou's eyes lit up, and she nodded hastily.
"A man or woman in this world, from the moment of birth, is constantly growing and advancing.
Before marriage, men and women experience almost the same growth trajectory, so it is easy to connect with each other and have many common topics. Both of them think that they can spend their lives together hand in hand.
However, after marriage, a woman's world becomes a man, children and home.In addition to women, children and home, a man's world also has a vast world outside.
As a result, one stayed in place, and the other drifted away. The two people who were holding hands were forced to separate due to the great power of time.
At the beginning, she may not notice it, but slowly, the woman looks at the back of the man who is getting further and further away, not knowing what to do, but the man is already attracted by the more beautiful scenery, and forgets the woman behind him.
Some responsible people, such as the cousin's husband, feel guilty, blame themselves, and suffer because their own wife can't keep up with their own pace, and those who can keep up with their own pace become someone else's wife.
Some irresponsible ones, fascinated by flowers and plants, carry beautiful concubines home one by one, completely ignoring the tears of grievance from the original wife. "
Speaking of this, Ji Ziqi paused and said, "Cousin, do you understand what I mean?"
"I understand, but I'm a woman, and I don't have the talent of my cousin, how can I get in touch with the outside world?" Feng Xuerou looked depressed.
"Cousin, there are many restrictions on women in this world. No matter how talented I am, I can't be an official. And it doesn't have to be my talent to get in touch with the outside world."
Ji Ziqi said: "I mean, my cousin should create her own world.
For example, my world is magic. I use what I have learned to help Li develop its economy and reduce wars.
As for your cousin, his world is a battlefield, an endless war, and there should be contradictions and opposites between us.
But he and I respect each other's world, help each other grow, and move forward together, this is the most important thing.
The cousin can do the same, find what she likes, what she is good at, and create another world for herself besides boys and children and home.
This way you can keep up with him and let him see you again. "
"What do you like? What you are good at?" Feng Xuerou murmured to herself, and then showed a painful expression, "Cousin-in-law, I don't have one. In the past six years of marriage, I have been serving my husband and in-laws since the beginning.
After having a child, half of my mind is devoted to the child. How can I be good at it? "
Ji Ziqi looked at her expression of self-blame and inferiority, and couldn't help reaching out to hold her hand, "Cousin, don't worry! If you can't think of what you are good at, why don't you start with what you like first?
Go back today and think about it carefully. If you think of something and you want to tell me, then send someone to tell me. It doesn't matter if you don't want to tell me.But I hope my cousin will listen to what I just said. "
The warmth from her palm miraculously soothed Feng Xuerou's impatience, and she nodded involuntarily.
When parting, Madam Du pretended not to see Feng Xuerou's red and swollen eyes, and said with a smile, "Ah Rou, I will spend more time to see my aunt in the future."
After Feng Xuerou left, Madam Du took a look at Ji Ziqi and saw her shaking her head. She knew it was inconvenient to talk about it, so she stopped asking.
As long as Feng Xuerou is willing to speak out, everything will turn around, it doesn't matter whether she knows it or not.
Young people's affairs should be resolved by the young people themselves.
Du Feng decided to bring all four of them, Xi Le Ankang, with him, plus fifty secret guards, as candidates from the Du mansion to go to Cang Yue Kingdom.
After arriving at Cang Yue, Du Kang followed him to Donglin, leaving the other three and fifty dark guards to Ji Ziqi.
After hearing the news, Du An, Du Xi and Du Kang said calmly: "Yes!"
Only Du Le showed a disappointed expression on his face. In fact, Du Le has never been happy since he knew that Ayu was going to Xiqiang with Zhang Zhu.
Now he is about to go to Cang Yue, and when he comes back, Ayu has already gone to Xiqiang, so he will never see her again?
The distressed Du Le decided to go to Ayu for a drink. No one knew how he made a fuss, only that the drunk Du Le was sent back intact this time.
Every time I got drunk before, my clothes were stripped and thrown on the ground, or my purse was taken away, and I had no money to pay the bill, so I had to pay with work.
It was the first time that he came back so completely.
Du Xi and the others knew that he was about to part with Xinshang forever, so they didn't bother to provoke him.
But when Du Xi saw Du Le like this, he thought of his little girl who was getting more and more fresh, and felt that it was necessary to warn the servants in the whole house, as well as the little girl herself.
All the male servants in the whole house knew that the little girl was Du Xi's favorite, and they never dared to provoke her, and even avoided her when they saw her.
The little girl An An, who didn't know anything about all this, once thought that she was too unpopular and everyone avoided her, and even secretly felt sad for a long time.
Under Du Xi's coaxing, coaxing, and coercion, An An, with tears in her eyes, promised him that she would never go out privately, never talk to the man in the house and all the men who wanted to talk to her, and if anyone wanted to talk about marriage for her, She also had to refuse straight away, and when he came back, he would help her examine the man's character before making a decision.
Du Xi left satisfied.
During this period, Ji Ziqi went to Jiang's mansion and Lin's mansion to say goodbye one by one. Everyone was reluctant to give up, but there was no way to do it. They only told her to take good care of herself.
To Mrs. Du's delight, Ji Ziqi's menstrual event came, and both of them let go of their hearts.
It's just that Du Feng, who doesn't eat meat every day, and doesn't eat meat a few times, is unhappy in his heart and body.
The resentful little eyes made Ji Ziqi titter in his heart, and finally she turned to joy after she promised him to make up for him after menstruation.
However, the way he stared at her every day like a wolf staring at a sheep in those few days made Ji Ziqi startled.
During the period, Feng Xuerou also sent a message, which only wrote a few words: Cousin, I found it, thank you!
Ji Ziqi smiled slightly after receiving this letter, and was really happy for her.
She didn't know if the relationship between Feng Xuerou and Cao Yunqing would turn around, but she believed that if Feng Xuerou had her own affairs and stopped focusing on Cao Yunqing, she would be happier.
May [-]th is here. To show the importance he attaches to the envoys, His Majesty the Emperor personally saw them off at the gate of the palace, wishing them a smooth journey and success!
The officials of the household department who went to Cang Yue this time and the students of the Art Masters Association were all younger generations with low qualifications, and had never had the opportunity to pay their respects to the sky.
Seeing them now, everyone was so excited that they couldn't control themselves.While his heart was surging, he secretly swore in his heart that if he went to Cang Yue, he would definitely not betray His Majesty's trust!
Only Du Le was still depressed. After His Majesty left, he stretched his neck and kept looking into the high palace wall.
I hope to see the one who came to him suddenly a few nights ago, leaving only a note of "don't look for her" after one night, and the one who avoided him these days, so that he can't wait to beat him up Ass woman!
It's a pity that the palace wall is so high that nothing can be seen except the guards on the wall.
Du Le twisted his neck and looked at it for a long time, until his neck became sore and the person he wanted to see still did not appear, then he slowly turned his head in disappointment.
Not long after he turned his head, a woman in a guard uniform slowly appeared on the city wall.
Just looking at it from the side, no trace of emotional ups and downs can be seen on her heroic face.
It's just that when he saw the little black spot that was fading away, he finally breathed a little harder.
Du Le, goodbye by fate!
A group of people set off on May [-]th. After the first day of July, the weather was cool, and they entered Hasi, and walked for about two days. They will arrive at the location of Cangyue Palace, Yueling, tomorrow.
Suddenly, out of the nearby woods, a group of black and ragged people, men and women, old and young, popped out.
His Majesty the emperor sent a thousand imperial troops to accompany him, immediately drew out their swords, and quickly surrounded Ji Ziqi and others in the center.
The group of people who looked like refugees did not launch any attacks, but knelt down in unison, prostrated themselves on the ground and kept shouting: "I beg you to give us rations!"
As a result, the sword-wielding guards looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
The leader of the forbidden army frowned deeply, and came to the outside of Ji Ziqi's carriage, "Envoy Ji, there are about [-] refugees blocking the way ahead, envoy Ji please give instructions, what should we do?"
"Understood, Chief Qin, please wait for a while." Ji Ziqi's voice came from inside the carriage.
At this time, Du Feng was in her carriage, and the two came together, sometimes riding a carriage together, sometimes riding a horse together, sometimes riding a horse and riding a carriage together.
The two were newly married, one was an envoy, the other was a general, and even His Majesty the Emperor allowed General Du to send envoys to Cangyue, so everyone turned a blind eye to their behavior of mixing public affairs with some private affairs.
The shouts of the crowd outside were so loud that Ji Ziqi and Du Feng naturally heard them too.
She glared at him resentfully, her clothes and hair bun were all messed up by him, took a few deep breaths, and said, "Call Mr. Du'an, Du Xi, and Cao to discuss together."
Du Feng knocked on the car window, Du Le appeared outside, and was ordered to call someone.
As soon as Du An, Du Xi, and Cao Yunqing heard the movement outside, they immediately got out of the carriage and waited for Ji Ziqi's summons. As soon as Du Le arrived, they immediately walked to Ji Ziqi's carriage.
There were many people, the space in the carriage was a bit small, and the weather was hot, so a few people got out of the carriage.
A servant held up a huge umbrella and brought stools and tea and snacks. Ji Ziqi and the others sat down and began to discuss the situation they were facing now.
"This place is only one day away from Yueling, these people must be people nearby." Cao Yunqing said.
Du An said: "I agree with Mr. Cao's statement, the weather is so hot that food cannot be stored at all, if it is not for the people nearby, without water and food, it will not last for two days.
There is another possibility, though, to keep them supported if someone is nearby to provide them with food and water. "
Du Xi said: "As Duan said, I think the latter is more likely.
This place is close to Yueling. From the point of view of the people near the capital of our country of Li, even if they are poor, they are rarely so poor that they can’t even eat three meals a day, let alone so many people get together at one time.
Although Cang Yue can't be compared with our Li country, but if it is said that the people near Yueling are so poor, I don't quite believe it.hehe. "
Duane nodded: "And that group of people moved in an orderly manner, obviously someone has taught them. If it is an ordinary refugee, I'm afraid they will rush to them and grab their things.
Although we have a thousand imperial guards, there are quite a few of them. In the face of hunger, risking their lives will definitely happen. "
Du Feng said: "This general also feels that most of these refugees are instigated by others! Otherwise, why would they know that the envoys will pass by here today?"
Cao Yunqing said: "Could it be that in the Cang Yue court, some people objected to asking for support from our Li country, and they made such a bad plan?"
Du An said: "Under the leadership of the young lady, our country's economy has not damaged a single copper coin of the dignitaries. It is all funded and promoted by the private sector. Many dignitaries only lend money to collect rent, and they have also made a lot of profits from it.
If people in the imperial court oppose a decree, it is because the interests and powers generated by the decree conflict with their own interests.
However, the development of our Li country has proved that it can also drive economic development without harming the interests of the powerful, so it can be explained that it has nothing to do with profit;
The role of the envoys is mainly to promote the development of Cang Yue, and has nothing to do with the power of the imperial court, nor has it anything to do with power. "
Du Xi said: "So what is the purpose of today's outing? Who is behind the instigation? Is it purely to show off someone, or is there another conspiracy? It's not easy to judge for the time being. Hehe."
Ji Ziqi nodded: "I see, let's not make a conclusion on this matter for the time being. Let's talk about the predicament in front of us first. What is your best plan?
We will arrive at Yueling tomorrow, so there is no point in distributing the stored food in our hands to these people.But, will these people leave after collecting the food?
If you don't leave, if you face a group of unarmed people, if you do something, you have no heart to bear it.If we don't do anything, we will be stuck here and miss our schedule, and we will also face the situation of running out of ammunition and food. "
Du Xi said: "How about sending someone to negotiate with him?"
Du Feng said: "Those people were instigated by others, even if you were sent to negotiate with them, if those people ignored them and just knelt down and shouted 'I beg you to reward me', even if you have a good tongue, there is nothing you can do about it them."
Several people shut up for a while, lost in thought.
Ji Ziqi said: "So I plan to explain it directly to them."
"How do you say it?" Several people said in unison.
"Using power to overwhelm people." Ji Ziqi smiled and said: "We are here at the request of the Emperor of Cang Yue Kingdom, and we dare not delay at all!"
Cao Yunqing hesitated, "Is Envoy Ji planning to do something?"
"No." Ji Ziqi said: "Suppress it first, and then talk about the next method..."
Du Xi hehe said: "Young Madam, this method is very good, even if you make a move in the end, when it comes to the Emperor of Cang Yue Kingdom, we will take it for granted."
"I'll accompany you!" Du Feng said.
Ji Ziqi smiled at him, his expression seemed to say: Who are you with?
Cao Yunqing silently looked away.
Ji Ziqi and Du Feng walked to the front, jumped on the shaft of the car, and looked down at the humble group of people lying on the ground.
"I am Ji Ziqi, the envoy of the Li Kingdom. This time, I was invited by Emperor Cang Yue and appointed by His Majesty the Emperor Li to come to Cang Yue to assist Cang Yue in its development.
I don't know everyone, why are you blocking my way here? "
"I beg your nobles to give me some rations!" Hundreds of people shouted in unison, the momentum was very strong.
Ji Ziqi's voice was clear and shallow: "The things we brought from Li Kingdom to Cang Yue were all gifts to Emperor Cang Yue to show the friendship between the two countries, so there is no silver and food.
Under such circumstances, how can I help you all? Could it be that you want the things on this car dedicated to Emperor Cang Yue? "
The people below looked at each other for a while, "I beg you to give me some rations!"
"Many of the presents presented to Emperor Cang Yue on this cart were kept iced, and they lasted until tomorrow at most. If they were blocked for an hour, the ice would melt and the offerings would be damaged. This is a crime of destroying the royal family's belongings. , can you afford it?"
Ji Ziqi snorted coldly, and said sharply: "You can't bear it! If the news spreads back to Li Kingdom, and His Majesty the Emperor of Li Kingdom blames it, we can't afford it either!
If you all want to block it, don't blame me for having no eyes in the swords and swords of the imperial guards of the Li Kingdom! "
The group of people who bowed their heads still hung their heads, and no longer shouted slogans about rewarding rations.
"Envoy Ji, I'm just waiting for the nobles to show kindness and give you some silver or food so that we can survive. Is envoy Ji going to fight with swords because of this?" Someone in the crowd uttered a voice.
Ji Ziqi's voice was sonorous and forceful, "Silver and food belong to our country of Li. Why do you ask for it? You are blocking the way at this moment, it is a threat, not a request! Since it is a threat, why should our country of Li be afraid of it?"
The crowd was silent for a while, and then they all said in unison: "I beg you to give me some food!"
But it was obvious that the voice this time was much smaller than last time.
"If you just want food, I have a solution!" Ji Ziqi said softly, "As long as you are willing to cooperate!"
The person who spoke before said again, "How to cooperate?"
"This place is only one day away from Yueling. You can go to Yueling with me and wait for the carriage. When the time comes, you will be verified as refugees and penniless. I will ask Emperor Cangyue for free. Send you a month's rations.
As the envoy sent by Li Kingdom to Cang Yue, I believe that Emperor Cang Yue will give me a little favor. "Ji Ziqi said: "I don't know what you think? "
There was another silence, and then the previous man said: "We don't believe it, you must have tricked us into going, and you want to arrest us and punish us, so we won't go!"
Many people in the crowd echoed loudly, "Yes, don't go!"
"Do you also know that what you are doing now is sinful?" Ji Ziqi said calmly.
"We are not guilty now, but the official word is two words. After we go, why don't you just let you say that if you want to commit a crime, why don't you have excuses?"
"Want to commit a crime?" Ji Ziqi sneered, "What we have now is the gifts from His Majesty the Emperor of Li, including this carriage, this clothes, and all the silver and food.
The second is dedicated to Emperor Cang Yue.Can you afford it?Which one has come into your hands, is it not a treasonable thing?Do you dare to ask for it? "
"I don't believe it!" The man's voice became angry with embarrassment: "You are high officials of the Li country, how can you be penniless?"
"I have a lot of silver, but those silver are all in Li country." Ji Ziqi put on a smile on his face, his voice was still cold, "Do you want to kidnap me and ask my family to redeem me with silver?"
The crowd fell silent again, Ji Ziqi swept across the people below, and then said to Du Feng who was beside him: "General, there are a group of unscrupulous people who first tried to snatch and destroy the royal family's property, and then tried to kidnap officials of the Li Kingdom, may I ask?" , according to the laws of the Li Kingdom, what should be done?"
"Kill Unforgiven!" The man next to him was tough and tough, even though he was separated from him a little far away, the men kneeling at the front could feel the murderous aura.
Someone shuddered uncontrollably.
The man's tone and the cold air on his body made them understand that this man was not joking!
His sword hadn't been pulled out, and he couldn't tell whether he had a sword on him, but at this moment, his whole body was like a sword drawn out of its sheath, ready to slash at the enemy he considered mercilessly at any time!
Ji Ziqi saw the shrunken and unconsciously lowered bodies of the people below, and nodded in approval to Du Feng.
From an angle that outsiders couldn't see, Du Feng raised his eyebrows at Ji Ziqi, with ambiguity in his eyes: Thank you, me?Is this sincerity enough?
Pooh!Ji Ziqi rolled his eyes at him, turned to the people who were lying down, and said in a gentle tone, "However, since you don't know about this crime, I guess I will let you go!
Please either disperse on your own, or follow me to Yueling, otherwise, you will bear the consequences! "
After a short pause, the voice changed, "But, this person who incited everyone to make trouble must not be let go!"
As soon as the words fell, Du Le, who was at the side, quickly got into the crowd, and pulled out the person who had been talking to Ji Ziqi just now.
The man was holding his clothes by Du Le, he was a little out of breath, his face was flushed, "Why do you arrest me?"
"It's up to you to take the lead and lead people to prevent the envoys from entering Yueling!" Ji Ziqi said coldly.
"What evidence do you have to prove that I took the lead? Is it because I just answered your question? I don't accept it?" the man shouted.
Ji Ziqi snorted, "Evidence? That's a matter for the Cang Yue court!"
Then he waved his hand, "Take it down!"
The man was still about to argue, but Du Le had already knocked him unconscious.
Several people got into the carriage, and the forbidden army held a sword in one hand and shouted: "Those who stand in the way! They will be regarded as treasoners and will be killed without pardon!"
The voices of thousands of people reached the sky in unison, startling the birds in the forest on both sides.
The refugee kneeling on the ground unconsciously looked towards the middle of the crowd, only to see someone nodded slightly, and everyone stood up and stepped aside.
And all of this has long been seen by the secret guards of the Du Mansion.
-
"My lord! Li Guo's group passed through smoothly, and two of them were arrested!" said a thin figure in the darkness.
"Kill it." The man who spoke had a clear voice, but what he said was extremely cruel, as if it wasn't two lives.
"Yes." The thin figure left.
After a rustling sound, someone came in and lit the oil lamp.
The room gradually lit up, and the simple yet majestic furnishings showed that the owner liked to be noble and clean.
Inside the beige curtain, two figures appeared, one tall and one petite.
That petite figure is exquisite and exquisite, just looking at the figure has already made people's imagination run wild.
She embraced the man's waist from behind, and put her head on the man's back, her voice was laziness after the affair, "My lord, can I let my concubine stay to serve you tonight?"
The man in front didn't move at all, his voice was as clear as when he said the word "killed" just now, and said lightly: "Go back."
The woman seemed unwilling, but she also knew that the man said one is one and the other is two, and she would never go back on his word.
After a short pause, he reluctantly put on his clothes.
After a while, a pair of tender white jade hands opened the curtain, and a pretty woman came out.
Without the comparison of the man, it can be seen that her figure is not petite, with light eyebrows, delicate face, and a gentle and virtuous appearance.
It's just that the reddish cheeks, the slight hatred in the misty eyes, and the words she took the initiative to stay overnight just now revealed another side of her inadvertently.
Before the curtain was raised and fell back, the man who was sitting by the bed flashed by with his slender eyes, jade-like chest, black hair, and calm expression.
If you just look at this scene, it will give people a kind of beauty like the tranquility of the years, but if you add the two extremely light "kill" and "go back" just now, it will no longer be the tranquility of the years, but the beauty of the time. The indifference of everything makes people feel frightened.
The man inside sat still for a long time, his head was slightly drooping, his eyes were covered by long eyelashes, it was hard to tell whether he was asleep or just bowed his head in thought.
After a long time, between the loose black hair, the corners of the mouth on both sides were slightly raised, forming a weird arc.
