Chapter 76 Borrowing the Hands of Zhou Envoy
"Little lady, look at me. I'm strong and tall. I can carry seven or eight people at a time. I can carry, fight, and carry water. Just keep me!"
"Yes! Look, I have also practiced martial arts before. Most people are no match for me. I will definitely be able to protect you, all the young gentlemen, and all the young ladies."
Seeing the two men with fat heads and big ears in front of them who were looking at Xiao Jinyu with narrowed eyes, Fenghuang punched out two words without saying a word!
"Brother Qing, I think it's better to forget it. None of these people are normal. They are all cowardly and mediocre people. Some of them even want to plot evil against Brother Qing!"
Xiao Jinyu smiled and refused to comment.
As long as the news about the nursing home is released, there will always be some of those scattered tribes who will get wind of it!
They should never forget that special mark that represents the emblem of the Xie family.
A few people were meditating when they suddenly saw a noise in the distance, as if someone was fighting. When Xiao Jinyu heard the sound, he walked in the direction of the sound, and saw surrounded by the crowd, it was the two strong men who had just come to answer the call. He was hitting and kicking a thin young man, but the young man who was beaten did not fight back. His already ragged body was scarred and tattered by the kicks.
"stop!"
At Xiao Jinyu's suggestion, Fenghuang gave a sharp shout, walked over and unhooked the two men's arms, knocking them to the ground.
"Who told you to oppress good people here? Get out of here!"
The two strong men howled a few times, then ran away holding their injured arms.
Xiao Jinyu saw that the man on the ground was holding a piece of paper in his arms. There was a special mark on the paper that caught her eye.
"Who are you--"
The man raised his head, looked at her, and took a very defensive posture to attack.
This appearance is very similar to that of Zhui Feng, who was also one of the martial arts she trained. Different from the swordsmanship that Ling Ye is good at, Zhui Feng is good at tracking, and his body is extremely agile. He is not as good as Ling Ye in terms of martial arts, but as a loyal guard who protects his master, he is more than adequate.
In his previous life, when he was leading his tribe to escape from Jiankang, Zhui Feng got separated from them in order to stop the enemy soldiers.
"Are you here to recruit a nursing home?" Xiao Jinyu asked, and added with a smile, "I posted the advertisement in your hand!"
When the man heard this, his expression immediately relaxed, and he looked at Xiao Jinyu with curiosity and confusion.
"If you are willing, come and be my nurse!" After saying that, Xiao Jinyu asked again, "What's your name?"
The man pursed his lips and seemed to hesitate for a moment before replying: "Zhuifeng!"
Xiao Jinyu's expression suddenly condensed, and she looked at the young man thoughtfully for a long time: If calculated according to the twenty years since her rebirth, Zhuifeng should be forty years old now, and the man in front of her is He's only twenty years old. Could this be Zhui Feng's son?
……
In the palace of Prince Shixing, Chen Shuling saw two strong men with bruised noses and swollen faces, as if their arms had been removed. Naturally, Chen Shuling's face looked very ugly.
"You said she didn't want you because she thought you were fat?" he asked.
"Yes, yes!" the two strong men replied in a battle.
"Then what does she like?"
"Skinny, we saw that she picked up a very thin little beggar and said she wanted him to be her nurse!"
"Oh--"
Chen Shuling laughed a few times, suddenly lifted the table, and shouted sternly: "Then you should quickly make me as thin as that little beggar. Come on, drag me down and help them lose weight. Within an hour, I will make them lose weight." It’s like a mummy in a grave!”
The two strong men were so frightened that their legs weakened and they fell to their knees. Before they could even shout for mercy, they were dragged down by two guards holding knives.
"I'm so angry that I can't even deal with a fifteen-year-old sister-in-law." Chen Shuling walked back and forth in the house for a few steps, then suddenly looked at Chen Bogu and said: "It seems that the best and middle strategies you said can't be implemented. If you don’t come, my people won’t be able to get in, so the last thing left is to grab it!”
"Your Majesty, unless it is absolutely necessary, I think it is better not to make such a move!" Chen Bogu immediately stopped him, "Xu Shangshu has already informed His Majesty about Xiao Yun's incident last time. Xiao Changshi and our aunt Princess Yunyin have already We were shocked by the imperial censor. Now Xiao Jian has been dismissed from his post and is thinking about his past at home. My aunt has been ordered not to step out of Xiao's house for a month. If we really go to snatch that little lady, I'm afraid someone will do it. Go and accuse the prince of robbing a common girl!"
"Who is suing? Are you talking about Xiao Xian?"
Chen Shuling was still disdainful, "If he dares to accuse me, can't I kill him?"
"But after all, Xiao Xian is still a member of the Xiao family of Lanling, and his talent is well-known far and wide. He is already the youngest celebrity in our Chen Dynasty. If he is killed, I am afraid that the world's scholars will be dissatisfied. What's more, my aunt is not I didn’t send anyone to assassinate him, and it didn’t work.”
"Then what do you think we should do?"
Chen Bogu said: "Your Majesty, aren't the envoys from the Zhou Kingdom coming to Jiankang soon? I heard that Yu Wenhui, the third son of Yu Wenhu, is also a womanizer. Why don't we borrow the help of others to help the Prince achieve this goal?" This matter."
Chen Shuling's interest immediately rose again.
"How can I borrow someone else's hand?" he asked.
"As long as the prince presents the portrait of the young lady to the envoy of the Zhou Kingdom, or even paints more beautiful like her father, I can guarantee that the Yuwenhui will definitely take action. And once the young lady falls into the hands of Yuwenhui, the prince will Wouldn't it be better to win the little lady's heart by having another hero save the beauty? However, please don't forget, my lord, you still want to give her to Prince Lanling Gao Changgong in the end."
"As long as I want someone, what do I want with this little lady's heart?"
Chen Shuling was dissatisfied, and then sighed: "However, this idea is not bad. Speaking of Yuwenhui, I am really angry in my heart. Back then, I was a hostage in the Zhou Kingdom with my father and brother, and I suffered a lot from the Yuwen family's gang. Bullies are bullies, and this Yuwenhui is one of them. It would be nice if we could take this opportunity to frustrate the prestige of his envoy from Zhou!"
…
Two days later, the Northern Zhou envoys arrived in Jiankang. Unlike the Northern Qi envoys who arrived quietly, the arrival of the Northern Zhou envoys seemed particularly powerful. A long team entered from Qingxi Gate and stretched out. The leader was riding a horse. A man with a strong build, a serious expression, and extremely handsome features like daggers. It is obvious that this person is the leader of this mission.
Behind this man, there were three men who were dressed in luxurious clothes and exuded the nobility of the world. But these three men were different. Two of them were still waving enthusiastically to a group of sisters-in-law who were watching. It caused screams and cheers from women on the street.
"I didn't expect that the envoy sent by Zhou State this time was Yu Wenxun, the eldest son of Yu Wenhu. In addition to him, there are also Wei Gong Yu Wenzhi, Yu Wenhu's third son Yuwen Hui, and Dugu Xin's son Dugu Shan."
Among the crowded crowd, Ling Ye looked at the envoys and quietly reported to Xiao Jinyu.
"What's the temperament of these four people?" Xiao Jinyu asked.
"Because Yu Wenhu had one hand over the sky and controlled the government of the Zhou Dynasty, most of his six sons were cruel, greedy, chaotic and harmed the people. The current emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, Yuwen Yong, did not care about state affairs, so he did not care about the things that Yuwen Hu's sons did. Ignore it. However, among the six sons, the eldest son Yuwen Xun has a slightly calmer personality, but his talent is the most mediocre. The third son Yuwen is studious and intelligent, and he is respected by Yuwen. "
Xiao Jinyu nodded.
Ling Ye added: "And this Duke of Wei, Yu Wenzhi, is the half-brother of Zhou Emperor Yu Wenyong, but he is very good at cunning tactics, and in order to curry favor with Yu Wenhu, he is willing to follow his tail."
"Duhu Shannai is the second son of Duguxin, the general of the Zhuguo Kingdom of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Because of his father's merits, he was awarded the position of general of hussars. This man's character is quite unpredictable. However, Duguxin also has an eldest son, Dugu. Luo is still imprisoned in the Northern Qi Dynasty as a hostage, and Du Huxin seems to have never thought about taking the eldest son back to Chang'an, the state of Zhou."
"Is Duguxin on good terms with Yuwentai?" Xiao Jinyu suddenly asked.
Ling Ye nodded: "Yes, Dugu Xin once entered Guanzhong and met his old friend Yuwentai who had commanded He Bayue's army, so he became loyal to Yuwentai from then on, leaving his wife and children to go to Chang'an. Now he is in Chang'an He married another man and had seven sons and three daughters, so the lonely Luo Bian who was abandoned in Yecheng in Northern Qi was nothing."
Xiao Jinyu shook his head with a smile.
"Gu Gu believes in brotherhood and must be dissatisfied with Yu Wenhu, who is not the son of Yu Wentai, for poisoning the emperor and taking charge of the government. It seems that Gu Gu and Yu Wen Hu must be in hostile camps. But the Zhou Kingdom actually sent these four envoys to Chen, they must be Come prepared.”
