poisonous woman

Chapter 507

Peng Yuanqing saw the stern face of the King of Chu, knew that he was not happy, and became more respectful, "Forgive me, my lord, it's not that I intend to inquire about the identity of the lord. It's because the subordinates of the lord accidentally saw the Nine Dragon Ring Pearl and Jade Pendant worn by the lord today. The Jade Pendant of the Nine Dragons Ring Pearl was given to the prince by Emperor Xiaojing. It is well known that a skilled craftsman engraved the word "jue" on it, so I guessed that the person wearing the jade pendant was you, the prince of Chu. I met the prince by chance On the one hand, Wang Ye looks like a dragon and a phoenix, which people will never forget."

Xiao Junjue glanced at the jade pendant on his waist, he was careless and exposed it.

"My king passed by here to do some business, I didn't want to alarm anyone." Xiao Junjue's face turned pale.

Peng Yuanqing bowed, "Your Highness is a model for our generation to learn from. Since you are here, if you pretend to be ignorant, I am afraid that you will be negligent. Your Highness has already prepared food and wine at home, and I respectfully invite you to come." He raised his eyes, Looking at Xiao Junjue, "And I still have some recruiting matters to ask the prince for advice."

"Respectfully, Prince Chu." A group of officials behind sang in unison.

Xiao Junjue was dissatisfied with such a massive battle, and at the same time set him up.

With such mighty power, even if he wanted to keep a low profile and conceal his identity, he couldn't do it.

"Okay, since that's the case, I will change into a piece of clothes first, and then I will go with you."

Rong Zhao was sitting in the inner room, and he also heard the movement outside, so he took a piece of clothes to change for him, "It just so happens that he was recognized by his people."

"Maybe it's a coincidence." Xiao Junjue was suspicious, but he had to go because of the excuse of asking for advice on recruiting soldiers.

After a while, Xiao Junjue opened the door, Peng Yuanqing glanced at Rong Zhao, hesitated, and asked, "Who is this?"

Xiao Junjue simply said: "This is the king's bodyguard."

Rong Zhao was still dressed in men's clothing, following behind Xiao Junjue.She drew her eyebrows thicker, and raised her eyebrows into the temples, adding a bit of heroism.

Xiao Junjue raised an eyebrow, "What? Can't I take it with you?"

Peng Yuanqing hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, of course I can, but I think the prince is traveling alone, please." He raised his hand and moved out of the way.

Rong Zhao followed Xiao Junjue, and when he passed by Peng Zhi County, his eyes paused for a moment, and then he paused for a while before following Xiao Junjue.

As the head of a county, Peng Yuanqing's mansion will naturally not be shabby, and even such regulations far exceed the regulations that a county magistrate's mansion should have.

The closer he got, the more uneasy Rong Zhao felt, feeling that today's dinner was not that simple.

Xiao Junjue also had such concerns, he looked sideways at Rong Zhao, and gave her a reassuring look.

"My lord, please take the seat." Peng Yuanqing raised his hand and invited Xiao Junjue to the table.

Xiao Junjue didn't refuse, and went straight up. Rong Zhao, as his bodyguard, naturally accompanied him.

Rong Zhao was extremely vigilant, with a sword in his hand, his eyes slid across the faces of the people at the banquet one by one, observing their every move, especially Peng Yuanqing.

Perhaps her gaze was too sharp to be ignored.Peng Yuanqing took a look at him, and asked someone to set up a small table beside Xiao Junjue, "The prince's guards will sit with us."

Rong Zhao cupped his hands, and said in a rough voice, "The duty of this subordinate is to protect His Highness the King of Chu. Thank you, Mr. Peng, for your concern."

There was a faint smile on Xiao Junjue's lips, pretending to be quite like it.

Seeing this, Peng Yuanqing stopped persuading him, and made people serve wine and food, and invited singing and dancing to add to the fun.

Xiao Junjue pursed her lips unobtrusively, already feeling displeased.

"It's really a blessing to be able to invite the king of Chu. Is the prince here to recruit soldiers?" Peng Yuanqing sat under Xiao Junjue. He had already stood up before, said a few polite words, and toasted a few glasses of wine .

Xiao Junjue rubbed his finger on the edge of the wine glass, a small county magistrate, the glass used to invite guests to drink was actually made of glass, and he was not the only one using this kind of glass, Xiao Junjue glanced roughly and saw everyone The cups used are all of this material.

Xiao Junjue gave a faint "Yes", and then asked him, "The king of Wei told me that the recruitment of soldiers started a month ago, why has your Wanhai County not recruited soldiers to send them to Wanhai County after this month?" front?"

Peng Yuanqing faltered, his eyes dodged, he smiled embarrassingly, and then put on a frowning look, "My lord doesn't know, there are many people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and this recruitment list has been issued for a month, but There are very few people who come to join the army, and the officials are also very worried, for fear of delaying the important affairs of King Wei and the prince. But the prince can rest assured, within seven days, the officials will definitely send all the soldiers recruited to Song City."

Rong Zhao scoffed in his heart, and blamed the common people on greed for life and fear of death. When she went to join the army, the recruiter had a bad attitude and asked her when she could leave, so she was told to wait.This is waiting and waiting, waiting until when and what month?She sees that not being able to recruit soldiers is not the key, the key is that the county magistrate doesn't want people to join the army and waste time.

Rong Zhao squinted his eyes and looked at Xiao Junjue.

There was a sneer in the corner of Xiao Junjue's mouth, and he said: "Voting troops is a voluntary thing, why force others to make things difficult? It's just that I passed by the recruiting office today and saw many people lined up to join the army, but Mr. Peng said it was nothing Where is the person?"

Peng Yuanqing opened his mouth, unable to answer for a while, his next master helped him and replied: "My lord doesn't know, it's just that there are many people watching the fun, but few people who join the army."

Peng Yuanqing nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes."

Xiao Junjue looked stunned, Peng Yuanqing breathed a sigh of relief, but heard the king of Chu say again: "Yes, if I were the king, when I saw those arrogant officials when I went to join the army, I would not be willing to join the army. Even if I don't care about those officials, but looking at the forms that can dig out the [-]th generation of ancestors, this king also finds it troublesome. Besides, there are a few ordinary people who can read and write. Is Mr. Peng's move not based on reality what?"

Generally, soldiers only need to write their name, age and home address, which is easy to find, but the questionnaire sent by Peng Yuanqing even asks about the name and place of origin of your ancestors.

Peng Yuanqing heard the dissatisfaction in King Chu's words, and hurriedly stood up, "It's because the officials didn't think carefully, so please punish me."

The master and the county magistrate are grasshoppers on the same rope, how can they sit still, "My lord, forgive me, Mr. Peng is afraid that some young people will sneak into the team, and I am afraid that it will be bad for the lord in the future, so we have to investigate everything. Be clear, don’t dare to miss it.”

That's a good way of saying it. In his words, not only did Mr. Peng not commit any crimes, but he also made meritorious deeds. This is how he put all his heart and soul into killing the crime in its cradle.

Xiao Junjue's long and narrow phoenix eyes flashed faintly, and he said meaningfully: "It's Mrs. Peng who has a delicate mind." After finishing speaking, let him sit down.

Peng Yuanqing showed great sincerity and trepidation, "My lord praises you." He laughed again and again, and asked the servant girl to fill Xiao Jun's glass, and kept persuading her to drink.

"The lower official heard that the prince likes to listen to the piano, so he specially invited the most famous Qin lady in Wanhai County to cheer for the prince." As he said clapping his hands, he saw a woman in white walking in from outside the door.

The qin had already been set up in the hall, and the woman saluted Xiao Junjue, then sat down and played the qin.

Xiao Junjue did have a hobby of listening to the piano, and would invite a piano teacher to come to the house to listen to it for a while. Rong Zhaochu learned a lot in order to match his interests, but only the piano, because he was concerned about Rong Wan at the time, and Rong Wan was good at it. Qin, she will never touch it.

The strings on the woman's fingertips are like spring water in a mountain stream, flowing slowly into people's hearts. Listening to the sound of the piano, I feel refreshed and happy in my heart. Even Xiao Junjue raised his head and looked over.

Rong Zhao raised his foot and kicked Xiao Junjue, his eyes threatened him, where to look!
Xiao Junjue coughed lightly, swallowed a smile, and took a sip of wine.

Rong Zhao glared at the woman playing the piano!
The problem is that he behaves well, without even looking at Xiao Junjue, Rong Zhao cuts him to pieces in his heart.

"Girl Qingcheng plays really well."

"Good looks, good piano skills."

The people below are full of praise.

At the end of the song, the woman stood up, Peng Yuanqing applauded, and was rewarded with money.

The maid next to the woman took the money, and the woman bowed to Peng Yuanqing and bowed to Xiao Junjue, saying: "I heard that the king of Chu is very good at playing the qin. I wonder if you can ask me a lesson or two." She pointed to the qin.

What is asking for advice, isn't it just to seduce?snort!Rong Zhao's teeth became sore after biting.

Xiao Junjue's eyes moved, and his deep eyes extended to the woman, and his peripheral vision flicked across the faces of the officials.

"Okay." Rong Zhao was cursing the little woman, let alone with her here, even without her, Xiao Junjue would not dare, but he heard Xiao Junjue's voice slipping into her cochlea.

She stared at him in disbelief, Xiao Junjue, how dare you!
Xiao Junjue looked at her, and when he turned sideways, he pressed Rong Zhao's finger, and his voice was like a mosquito, "Hurry up, get out of the city."

That moment seemed to be an illusion, if it wasn't for the pain in the fingers.

Rong Zhao is aware of the danger. Although she is worried about Xiao Junjue, she knows that if she stays, it will only become a burden for him, and he can escape by himself.

While everyone was looking at King Chu and the woman, Rong Zhao left quietly.

Now she is just a bodyguard of King Chu, no one will care about her whereabouts.He knocked out a woman who was looking at the back door, found the key from her, and escaped.

Rong Zhao ran back to the inn, held a salute, and was about to lead the horse out of the city, but just as he was about to leave, he met Songbei and Songnan head-on.

"Princess, where is your lord?" Seeing that there was only the concubine, Songbei asked.

Rong Zhao hastily told the story of how Xiao Junjue was invited by the magistrate of Wanhai County.

"Songnan, you take care of the princess here, and the rest follow me to save the prince." Songbei left Rong Zhao in Songnan's care, and took a group of people straight to the county magistrate's mansion.

Songnan waited for Songbei to leave, and then said: "Princess, let's get on the horse and go out of the city to Xingdou Pavilion to wait for the lord."

Rong Zhao looked at the direction Song Bei was heading for, thought about it, nodded, and followed Song Nan on his horse and out of the city to Xingdou Pavilion.
