Shu Blossoms

Chapter 403 Persuasion
Tong'er also rolled her eyes at her, and said angrily: "Master, he came back with you, how would I know, why don't you ask him!"

Zheng Wei felt that it was not the right time for her to come today, the master and apprentice seemed to be in a bad mood, and didn't like to see her very much.

She smiled awkwardly and turned her attention back to Daosheng, "Is he all right?"

"It will take some time to take good care of him. He is too weak. It seems that he hasn't had a good meal for a long time. If he continues like this, he may really starve to death."

Tong'er frowned and explained.

Zheng Wei nodded, "Let him live in Xiulizhuang for the next few days, you and Luo Yan can help take care of him here, and it's close to Miao'er."

Tong'er heard her and looked at her with questioning eyes, Zheng Wei said softly: "He is Miao'er's younger brother."

Tong'er thought of Miao'er who was parked in the empty room behind, and fell silent.

At this moment Liniang came over and interjected: "It's fine for this child to stay here, but Miao'er will be mourned in a few days, can this child bear it?"

After discussing with Zheng Wei, Liniang decided to let Miao Er go to mourn in the backyard of Xiulizhuang. The people living in the backyard were all from Danyang. They saw Miao Er's miserable condition, and they knew that Miao Er had not really betrayed them. objection.

Moreover, the front yard and the back yard of Xiulizhuang were facing two different streets, and mourning from the back yard hardly affected the nobles in the front yard.

Zheng Wei looked at Daosheng, leaned close to Liniang and whispered: "If this child doesn't see Miao'er, he doesn't eat or drink, they haven't seen each other for so many years, and when they meet, it's like forever, let him watch Let's see Miaoer's last days!"

At this time, Dao Sheng finally woke up, and stared at Zheng Wei without blinking. You go to see your sister."

Daosheng stared at her stubbornly, Zheng Wei had no choice but to compromise, and looked at Liniang, "Clean up the mourning hall a little so that he can feel more comfortable."

Zheng Wei looked at Daosheng stubbornly kneeling in front of the mourning hall to guard the coffin, feeling a little helpless for a moment, she looked at Tong'er, "Let him kneel for a while, when he is almost unable to hold on, give him an injection to let him sleep for a while."

Tong'er nodded, probably because of his similar background, he felt a little more pity for Daosheng.

Zheng Wei put incense on Miao'er, bowed her head and bowed in front of Miao'er's coffin in silence for a long time before leaving, Liniang sent her out of Xiuli Village, Zheng Wei told her on the way, "I will send a copy of Miao'er's funeral, You have to buy everything that should be bought here, but you don’t need to be buried with things that are too expensive, and now that the world is in chaos, I don’t know which thief will be cheaper in the end.”

Liniang thought for a while and understood, "The thing that worries her the most is her younger brother. Let's take care of the child for her, and Miao'er will be relieved if she is alive."

Zheng Wei settled Dao Sheng well, and was about to leave, she left just now without telling her parents, so the big movement had alarmed them already.

It was not only the people in Xiuli Village who couldn't sleep tonight, but also the people from the Wei Mission in the Siyi Pavilion who couldn't sleep all night.

This afternoon, Wang Zaifu of the Great Zhou came to tell them to leave in three days. King Pingyang was surprised and said, "Then what should you do with the married princess?"

"Princess Zhaoyang will go on this trip with the empress in the future, and return to the palace of the princess to be married. I promise not to delay the trip." Wang Can looked at them with a smile.

As soon as King Pingyang heard it, he knew that they had found Princess Zhaoyang, but he didn't mention that they kidnapped the princess. It seemed that Da Zhou didn't want to make a big deal at this time, so he just breathed a sigh of relief. ,
These days, the emperor of Zhou locked them here, causing them to be in fear all day long. As long as they could leave quickly, he didn't care too much about whether they got married or not, who the princess was married to.

Just as Wang Pingyang was about to say yes, Xia Houqing suddenly interjected: "My lord, our colleagues are not ready yet. If we don't delay for a few days, we can rest assured that we can re-set an auspicious date before we start our journey."

King Pingyang glared at him, gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "Xia Houqing, what kind of demon are you?"

Xia Houqing ignored him and only looked at Wang Can.

Wang Can knew that His Majesty ordered him to pass the news. Firstly, it seemed that he valued the Great Wei Mission, and also because these people might not be easy to deal with.

A helpless smile appeared on Wang Can's face, "Your Majesty is also reluctant to part with the princess, but for the sake of everyone's safety, he reluctantly made this decision."

"For our safety?" Xia Houqing sneered.

"Of course, there will be a debate among the scholars in the capital in three days," Wang Can paused, then glanced at the members of the mission before continuing, "The debate is about the food crisis in the capital, and I think you don't know it yet. I don't know who spread rumors in the capital that Wei's secret work secretly destroyed the granary in the suburbs of Beijing. The people in the city were excited. If His Majesty hadn't ordered people from the Jingzhao Mansion and the City Defense Camp to patrol the streets every day and warned people from house to house, I'm afraid you can't live so peacefully in Siyi Pavilion!"

"At that time, a arena will be set up in the middle of the Imperial Dao. In the future, the scholars will fight with all sentient beings on the arena. At that time, the words of the scholars will surely spread throughout Jiankang. Your Majesty is afraid that the people in Jingzhao Mansion will not be able to control the situation. It would be bad if the people accidentally bumped into you!"

After Wang Can finished speaking, he watched Xia Houqing's complexion constantly changing, while King Pingyang immediately made a decision. He clasped his fists and said, "I will pack my things today, and leave for Wei in two days!"

Although he was not responsible for the matter of the Dazhou granary, judging by Xia Houqing's face, he knew that he was inseparable from him at this time. On the plus side, maybe the Great Zhou Emperor would take the opportunity to keep them here forever.

Thinking of the sinister smile of Emperor Da Zhou, King Pingyang couldn't help but shudder.

After all, King Pingyang was the main envoy of the Great Wei Mission. Now that he had agreed, Wang Can left without looking at Xia Houqing's sullen face.

After Wang Can left, King Pingyang asked Xia Houqing, "The matter of welcoming the bride has been postponed for many days. Now it is so easy to leave Beijing. Why do you keep declining again and again? Could it be that you are not willing to build the prosperous and splendid city of Kangcheng?" , Seeing an old friend reluctant to leave?"

Xia Houqing was questioned but not stage-frightened, and asked instead: "Your Majesty has a secret decree before leaving that the only person His Majesty wants is Princess Danyang. If the person we bring back is not what His Majesty wants, how will King Pingyang plan to explain to His Majesty?"

King Pingyang was suffocated by the question, and Nahe behind him said for him: "Your Majesty's secret decree was only given to Lord Xiahou, and we have never seen it. We have not received the secret decree, so naturally we don't need to act according to the secret decree."

King Pingyang heard it, yes, he has not seen His Majesty's secret decree, who knows if it is true or not, even if it is true, it is not for him, and he is not disrespectful to the decree!
Thinking of this, King Pingyang snorted heavily, raised his head and walked in front of Xia Houqing.

After everyone left, Xia Houqing's gloomy face slowly eased. He walked back to the room and closed the door tightly, and soon there was a low voice in the room: "Tell your master, the day after tomorrow."
