Heartburn
Chapter 42: Disaster
After thinking about it, I no longer cling to this problem.
The two of them were embarrassed, so I proposed to go on the road as soon as possible and gather with Yan Ke's army.
Counting time, the returning team should have passed Jinhe and arrived in Siyang City; and Jiang Zhuo and I would be able to catch up with them in one day at the fastest speed if we didn't take the official road and cut corners.
——These days and nights with Jiang Zhuo are considered the days I stole. Now, everything will return to the original point: she is her dedicated guard, and I am my infamous dude.
Suppressing those delusions, I just want to stay away from her temporarily, so as to completely get rid of the feelings that appear from time to time. Therefore, regardless of her opposition, I insisted on rushing. Although I dragged my body into exhaustion, there was a vague sign of illness. , After all sneaked into the station within the scheduled time, and saw Yan Ke-even when she saw me, I was quite furious and headache.
All the entourage guards backed away, including Jiang Zhuo; I only silently watched her walk out of the room without looking back, but couldn't say anything, couldn't do anything, and hated my cowardice, but I couldn't resist—resist. How can it be? It's nothing but trouble.
Jiang Zhuo, she didn't know what I wanted... I was afraid, even if I knew it, I wouldn't accept it.
"Why is your Highness here? Isn't it set to meet outside Guanlan City? Could it be that your identity has taught others to see through?" After all, she stepped up nervously and touched me from head to toe, regardless of respect and etiquette.
Because of her concern for Kwong Xihan, I couldn’t push her away, so I could only endure her up and down hands with a stubborn face, while still squeezing a smile to appease: "Aunt Ke, don’t worry, Jiang Guanshi...no, Jiang Huwei will take care of her. Effective, this king is very good."
Confirming that I was just too tired and pale, and there was no trauma, she breathed a sigh of relief, but her face turned dignified, and her tone of voice also showed a bit of reproach, "What is the urgent matter, it is worth your Royal Highness’s hurry to come. So disregarding your body?"
Of course I couldn’t tell her that it was to break off my delusion towards Jiang Zhuo as soon as possible, so I rushed back early, laughed a few times, and scornfully said, "This king misses Auntie Ke..." before she doubted it. Under his gaze, I had to change my words, "Well, it's not only that... There is also a part of the reason, it's because of this thing."
When I showed the Yujue in my hand, I saw Yan Ke's face solemn, glanced at the doors and windows very quickly, then took me to sit at the table of the Eight Immortals, poured a cup of hot tea for me, and said softly: " It seems that His Royal Highness knows the origin of this jade?"
"Yeah." So I briefly recounted what I had encountered in Zechang City. Even the appearance of Fu Yunchong's son was not overlooked, and I just waited for Yan Ke to solve my doubts.
"Is that Zen Master Kongxi really the king's aunt? Why did Aunt Ke never tell this king? Why did she escape into the empty door? Is there any secret in this that outsiders don't know?" Is it really like me? As expected, between her and the emperor...
Yan Ke smiled bitterly and shook his head, and did not answer my question directly: "His Royal Highness, you are asking such a series of questions, so I don't know which one to answer first."
I frowned and waited for her to speak, but I couldn't help but slander in my heart: In this case, you can all tell me not!
She took a sip from the tea cup and calmed down. When I couldn't help but speak, she said unhurriedly: "Yes, Zen Master Kongxi, before entering the empty door, Zengguan worshipped the National University. The general, commanding two-thirds of Dawu's forces, is also the first sister of the emperor's husband. He is powerful and powerful. It can be described as under one person and over ten thousand people."
When she said this, she paused, and there seemed to be a trace of remembrance in her eyes, and her voice was also a bit sad: "Back then, the emperor was seriously ill, and Zen Master Kongxi voluntarily became a monk in order to pray for the emperor; but before that, Kong Master Xi has always commanded the army to guard Nanfeng. His Royal Highness was young, so he had never seen her."
——Even so, there are still a few things that don't make sense.
There are so many relatives and relatives of the imperial family, why do you want someone with a foreign surname to be a monk for her to pray? Isn't she doing it deliberately in order to contain the military power she holds?
So, what happened to the mysterious organization under Zen Master Kongxi? Does the Emperor Xian know the existence of this organization?
The biggest doubt is: Kuang Xihan has not only never met the imperial aunt, but also never knew this relationship, as if this news was blocked intentionally or unintentionally.
My doubts were quickly answered, and I heard Yan Ke continue to tell the earth-shattering secrets: "His Royal Highness should know that the Emperor Xian always prefers you to inherit the Datong, but unfortunately you were very young at the time, and the emperor went suddenly. , This is the successor to the throne today-even so, Zen Master Kongxi still holds half of Dawu's forces in his hands. As long as you give an order, all those soldiers will be used by you, there is no difference."
——Listening to her, is it actually tricking me to try to usurp the throne?
With half the strength of Dawu in his hand, wouldn't it be possible for me to overthrow the current emperor with a single thought?
Kuang Xihan, the powerful Ling King, is really not a mere name, but this also explains that Kuang Xiqing's fear of her is not for no reason-any emperor can never allow such an existence that can threaten his position. .
Thinking from another angle, Kwong Xihan can live to this day. If she doesn't think about brotherhood and is unwilling to kill her, it is Yan Ke and the power behind it that are so powerful as to fearlessly a prince of a country.
Objectively speaking, this situation is not an advantage for a feudal dynasty; the emperor would never expect this situation, let alone see his daughters fratricidal for the imperial power, which would cause turmoil.
"Since your Royal Highness has mentioned it, I must ask you again-is it still unintentional to the throne?" She suddenly stood up from her seat, stepped back, saluted me, and looked at me with scorching eyes, "If you are interested, Ke Auntie is Mi avatar broken to pieces, and I will do what I want for you!"
——In front of such a huge temptation, I am afraid it is difficult for someone to remain unmoved.
But I don't belong here after all, and I don't want to be an emperor.
Unlike me, who is useless, that person is as dazzling as a phoenix flying for nine days, as if he was born to rule the world.
Compared to me, she is more suitable for the position of the Nine-Five Lords.
My sister... Kuang Xiqing.
"Aunt Ke also asked this king this question before. Do you remember how this king answered it?" I sighed silently, and I got up to help her up, and gently persuaded, "Today, Ben Wang's answer remains unchanged, I am afraid I will disappoint you."
"His Royal Highness...Ah, Aunt Ke is just worried. You regard her as a close relative by blood, but she may not be able to tolerate you!" She sighed deeply, but she was talking about my heart.
I also know that Kwong Xiqing is on guard against me, but I still don't want to think about her too badly. It is probably Kwong Xihan's physical reserved emotion that is at fault-even if it is self-deception, I don't want to stand in opposition to her.
Although contradictory, it is my truest thought.
"Let's not talk about this... Is the road going smoothly for Aunt Ke? Have you ever met an assassin?" After that, I glanced at the person lying on the bed unconsciously, and realized that it was another raw face. The guard who replaced me is gone, and it is conceivable that her fate is not much better.
It was another person implicated by me, and another...unpaid debt.
"Your Highness, rest assured, with me in one day, I will swear to protect your safety and will not teach anyone to hurt your hair!" Yan Ke shook my hand and promised.
Although I am dissatisfied with her low life, but I have to be moved by her profound friendship for Kuang Xihan.
I was about to say a few words to her, but I listened to the eager clapping of the door—Yan Ke has always been honest with the servants, let alone such a big movement, even if the voice is slightly louder. Being punished-this also shows that the matter is not trivial, to teach the attendant so panicked.
"What's the panic?" Yan Ke also wanted to understand this level, frowning to make her come in, not blaming the pale-faced attendant, but shouted in a deep voice, "Calm! Tell me carefully."
"Hui, let me tell you, Master Chief, there was a disturbance in front of the people. Hundreds of people gathered to surround the post, and kept talking to your Highness!" She taught Yan Ke to stop, and finally replied with a deep heart.
"Absurd! Where is the accompanying guard? Watching the group of unsophisticated people make trouble?" Yan Ke slapped the table with a heavy palm, causing the tea cup to "clang", and the attendant who taught me and the answering servant was startled. jump.
"My lord, forgive me! There are so many people, the guards have protected the station, but without the order of the adults, they dare not act rashly. If they hurt people, I am afraid that the local government will not be able to explain..." The attendant lowered his head. Explained carefully.
"A bunch of rubbish! A mere pariah, dare to surround the post, disrespect your Highness, have a malicious heart, and don't feel sorry for death! Send my order to drive these troublemakers 300 feet away. If there are offenders, nothing will be killed..."
"Wait!" Before Yan Ke uttered the last word murderously, my heart jumped, almost reflexively stopping.
"His Royal Highness?" Yan Ke turned around and looked at me questioningly. He didn't scold like that entourage, but frowned, waiting for my answer very puzzled.
"Well, it's like this..." I cleared my throat, racking my brains and thinking about the rhetoric; holding her gaze, I lost my thoughts for a while, and had no choice but to make a fool of myself, "We are going on purpose now. , The number of accompanying guards is limited, so it is not appropriate to make matters worse; moreover, if you want to injure people indiscriminately, teach those remonstrators to grasp the handle, and then you have to go to the memorial to impeach the king. Although the king is not afraid of these sharp-mouthed remonstrators , It is impossible to guarantee that you will not be taught to use it..." Yan Ke will not understand what I mean when I want to come.
——This caring person refers to Kuang Xiqing's line, and there are many people who are waiting to catch my pigtails.
After careful consideration, Kuang Xihan's opponents are really many.
"His Royal Highness is reasonable, I was impulsive," Yan Ke nodded, looked at me with a pleased look, and then asked with a gentle look, "So, in your opinion, what should I do?"
"The king thought it was better to find out the ins and outs of the matter first. In the end, those...well, why did the people make trouble, and then deal with it." Reluctantly continuing Yan Ke's statement, I shook my head in my heart and smiled at her. Suggested, "Aunt Ke and this king go out and have a look, how about?"
"His Royal Highness is the body of ten thousand gold, if you teach those who don't have eyes to collide..." Yan Ke looked worried and hesitated, as if he was planning to refuse.
"Aunt Ke is too worried, there is Jiang Zhuo, there is no need to worry about the safety of this king," he glanced at the door, only to see a tall and straight back, Yan Ke was aware of the clues, I quickly added, "Of course, this king believes that you won't teach this king any harm, do you?"
Sure enough, even if Yan Ke was reluctant to do so, he was relieved and agreed that I would go to the front yard of the station to find out what was going on with the guards.
With a victory sign in my heart, I followed her out of the room, turned my head and blinked at Jiang Zhuo who was guarding the door; she glanced at me faintly, and did not respond to my pretendingly funny winking, but raised my eyebrows. I followed my steps, leaning against my half of my arm, and taught me that my sense of security suddenly increased. If Yan Ke was not by my side, I would really like to hold her hand quietly and put it next to her, like a piece of brown candy. Like sticking to her and not letting go.
Opening the courtyard door, the crowd blocking the door on the third and outer floors taught me a numb scalp. The grievances on their faces almost turned into substance. If the look in their eyes can kill people, maybe I’m with the people in front of me. The line of guards has long since disappeared.
"It's her! That utterly conscientious Ling Wang!"
"I'm hitting you wicked! You give me my life!"
"Kill her! Kill her!"
My identity was revealed by a finger from a distance, and the restless crowd was like boiling oil in that instant, completely exploding the pot; people pushing and shoving frantically, scrambling to break through the wall of guards, as if The next moment he will rush to my side and tear me to pieces.
Under the enthusiasm of the crowd, even the rigorously trained royal guards felt troublesome and gradually lost support.
The scene was about to get out of control for a while, seeing Yan Ke's face sinking from the corner of his eyes, waved to invite the archer to suppress with force, my heart was tense, before I could stop it, I saw the long sword of the person who had been watching indifferently. Out of the sheath, jumped.
What Jian Guang was about were a few thugs who were about to break through the guards' defense line-blood and light suddenly appeared. After the few people screamed and screamed, they all clutched their knees and fell to the ground; the people behind saw this situation, radical. The pace is stagnant, for fear that it will also end in this way.
The crowd who intended to step forward stopped unanimously, except for a few people who were rolling and wailing, it was quiet-no one wanted to be the first bird to be beaten.
Tossing the blood on the sword, Jiang Zhuo unconcernedly retracted the sword into its sheath, walked back to my side, arched his hand toward Yan Ke, who had a pale face, and continued to return to the expressionless background, as if he had never moved. Pass.
——As expected of the person I like... It's so handsome as a foul!
I finally took my gaze back and calmed my heartbeat.
Try to control yourself not to stare at Jiang Zhuo fiercely like a nymphomaniac who is in love at the beginning, revealing the unspeakable thoughts, I pinched my palms, taking advantage of the silence at the moment, and asked with a serious face: "Everyone, my king People are here and never escape! But since you want to kill this king, you must always let this king know the reason. If it is reasonable, this king will be arrested. If it is unreasonable... don't blame this king for being ruthless."
Just when I thought that my aura had stunned these people, and I planned to turn the big things into small things, I heard a sharp voice from the crowd: "God slain King Ling, dare you say Jinhe? The breaking of the embankment has nothing to do with you? If it weren't for you, how could the Jinhe Dam break the embankment! How could the twelve members of my family have died!"
——What heinous thing did I do to teach the river to overflow and the dam to burst?
It's not the mythical story of Meng Jiangnu crying down the Great Wall...ridiculous!
Shaking his head amused, I didn't believe the accusation of the man, but the pace of turning around couldn't be taken anyway.
