Chapter 105 Leading troops to build an embassy at night
Lu Yu almost choked to death on his saliva!
At this time, A Yuan's extremely curious voice came and asked: "Who can actually grow three legs?"
Hey! Really, there is a child here!
Yuan Rujing quickly covered A Yuan’s mouth and stepped aside to hide.
Phoenix's face turned redder: You asked me to say it. If I don't say it, what else can I say?
The entire hall was suddenly silent, and everyone's expressions were hard to describe.
Lu Yu was the only one covering his mouth and laughing so hard that he didn't dare to make a sound.
"Brother Qing, what should we do? Will King Shiheung, that beast-like creature, lead his troops to search our house?"
As soon as Fenghuang finished speaking, there was a sonorous and messy sound of footsteps outside the embassy. At this sound, hundreds of sergeants were surrounding the embassy.
Could it be that King Shiheung sent troops?
Everyone looked horrified, but King Lanling looked calm and reassured:
"Nothing, please stay here and don't move. I'll go out and take a look!"
After saying that, he glanced at Xiao Jinyu and said there was no need to worry, then strode out of the embassy.
Lu Yu was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly followed.
"Phoenix, help me send a message to Ling Ye and tell him to take everyone in the yard to take shelter first!"
"yes!"
Phoenix knew what Xiao Jinyu meant by "messaging". Xiao Jinyu had taught him how to use bamboo tube fireworks to convey messages before, and this almost became a tacit understanding between them.
Phoenix carries all these important things with him.
Quietly walking out of the back door of the embassy, Phoenix found a hidden space and launched a bunch of brilliant fireworks into the air.
"Uncle Xian, don't worry, Ling Ye will protect them!"
After seeing Xiao Xian's worry, Xiao Jinyu comforted him.
At the same time, King Lanling walked out of the embassy and saw a middle-aged soldier wearing a green robe leading a group of soldiers and horses in a very neat formation in front of the embassy.
But before he could speak, another man's voice came from the night and shouted: "This general, could it be that he doesn't take our King Lanling of Qi into consideration so much that he led his troops to build the embassy at night in order to compete with him?" I am the enemy of Qi State and want to provoke a war between the two countries?"
Before the person arrived, the voice had already arrived, and the question was already full of momentum.
It was Li Mi and Cui Heng who came with the sound.
The general's face darkened, and he immediately cupped his fists at Prince Lanling and said, "I'm sorry, Your Highness Prince Lanling, we didn't mean that. We brought our troops here to capture the assassin who assassinated Prince Shixing in Prince Shixing's Mansion. It was precisely because I saw the assassin escaping into the embassy that I brought the troops here. I hope Your Highness will not be surprised!"
"Oh, your prince is really good at complaining to evildoers first. People in Jiankang City are spreading the news today that His Highness Prince Shixing brutally beat an eight or nine-year-old child until he was dying in order to kidnap the wife of a miracle doctor by the Qinhuai River. In order to save the boy's life, the lady who is a miracle doctor followed your prince into the Shiheung Palace. It was obviously the young lady and the boy who were the victims. How come you have become the victim now? "
The general was not good at words. When faced with the extremely eloquent Li Mi, he could not utter even a single sentence. He had to face King Lanling and begged: "I hope His Highness King Lanling can do something." It’s convenient. As long as we find the assassin, we will take him away immediately and won’t disturb His Highness’ rest!”
"We have already led troops to search the embassy. Why don't we call it a disturbance? You are already disrespecting King Lanling. What if the assassin is not found?"
The general turned red with anxiety and suddenly said loudly: "I guarantee it with my head. The assassin is in the embassy right now. I saw it with my own eyes!"
"Tan Qi, you are just a regular servant of the eighth-grade martial arts knight. Do you really want to lose your head for your prince? Some people have already put their trust in the slanderous letter. Soon it will be heard by heaven. The rights and wrongs will be judged by the emperor. , instead of catching the assassin here, why not go back and report to your prince, how to deal with the emperor's wrath? "
This slander wooden letter was one of the boxes set up during the reign of Emperor Xiao Yan of Liang Dynasty in order to receive remonstrances and listen to public opinion. It was specially used for ordinary people to redress their grievances. Today, Chen Xu still retains this box for people to redress their grievances or make remonstrances. Although the method is just a way for the king to show his wisdom.
After hesitating for a moment, the general named Tan Qi finally clasped his fists at Prince Lanling and said, "I'm sorry to disturb His Highness Prince Lanling. I will withdraw my troops immediately!"
"Let's go! Go to the place where the little lady lives and wait for the rabbit!"
A group of soldiers and horses roared towards the dry river, and the expressions of Li Mi and Cui Heng fell again. After the soldiers and horses left, the two men hurried forward to meet King Lanling.
"I heard that the young lady was brought into the embassy by His Highness. Is the young lady okay now?" Li Mi asked first.
"Nothing." King Lanling replied, "I just wanted to thank you two for helping me!"
King Lanling was not a person who was good at using his words, so Li Mi's verbal battle saved him from a verbal dispute.
"It's a small effort, but it's not worth mentioning. Your Highness, can you let us enter the embassy and meet her?" Cui Heng asked at this time.
Without hesitation, King Lanling raised his hand and said: "Please!"
The three of them walked to the hall. When Li Mi saw Xiao Jinyu, who looked cool and noble in black clothes, he was so surprised that he opened his mouth wide again. The same was true for Cui Heng. The two of them did not speak for a long time.
After a while, Li Mi said: "The little lady is really not like a human being in the mortal world. She will be able to disguise herself well in the future, and that will be a bit of a firework. Otherwise, if I, Li Mi, look at her a few more times, I am afraid she will be doomed!"
"Why is it so doomed?"
Curious A Yuan ran out and looked at Li Miwen with wide eyes.
"Sister looks so beautiful like this, Ayuan likes to see it!"
"Little sister, you don't understand. If I look at you twice more, you will definitely miss me. If I miss you, I will become ill. I will never recover!"
"Oh, I still don't understand! What is lovesickness?"
Yuan Rujing looked shy and took her daughter into her arms again.
Only then did Li Mi realize what he was talking about, and he said nervously: "I'm sorry, I made a mistake, I made a mistake..."
Then he turned to Xiao Jinyu: "My dear lady, you are so kind-hearted that you are willing to follow King Shixing into the palace and bring yourself in just for the sake of a refugee?"
"No one is born low and does not deserve to live, or is not worthy of my saving..."
At this time, Xiao Jinyu said something and everyone was silent.
Prince Lanling looked at her thoughtfully for a long time.
Li Mi was silent for a moment, and then sighed: "The young lady is really transparent and a person of great wisdom. Li Mi is ashamed!"
"No, what Li Langjun said is not wrong. We just see things from different starting points. I know Li Langjun cares about me... but I don't save everyone."
The person who doesn't know how to save is naturally the heinous person, King Chen Shuling of Shixing.
Li Mi smiled heartily: "I understand" and turned to Yuan Rujing. If he heard correctly just now, the woman seemed to be murmuring: "No, it's not just the refugee, but also us..."
"Aunt Rujing, if that family doesn't tolerate you, then leave, right?" Xiao Jinyu suddenly turned to Yuan Rujing and said.
Yuan Rujing suddenly raised her head, and there seemed to be something unspeakable in her expression.
"Ayu, what happened today is because Aunt Rujing has caused trouble to you, but my husband treated me like a guest, which is not too bad. I just didn't expect that he actually colluded with King Shixing. Today He said he would take A Yuan and I to the temple to petition, but when we arrived at the temple, someone took A Yuan and me...
If I hadn't heard what King Shiheung said today, I really couldn't believe that he..."
At this point, his expression became a little sad, and he shook his head and sighed,
But then again, the relationship between husband and wife in this world is considered to be very good if they can respect each other as guests for a lifetime,
Ayu, I …I don’t want to leave that home yet…maybe…maybe he has some reasons?”
Hearing these words, Lu Yu's eyes widened and he continued angrily: "He is going to sell you and your daughter. Do you still think he has difficulties? No matter how many difficulties he has, he can't sell his wife and daughter, right?" ?”
"But in Jiankang City, how many families, even if their sons were officials and officials, were coerced by King Shiheung and gave him their wives, concubines, and daughters. Many of them were unwilling to do so. They just couldn't protect themselves under the power!"
"So, Aunt Rujing, what are your real concerns?"
