Chapter 153 Returns strongly to intimidate everyone
After returning to Pengcheng's mansion, Xiao Jinyu talked about how to lure out the killers ambushing in Pengcheng and how to annihilate them all.
"Actually, as early as the time of Jiankang, Ling Ye made many hidden weapons for me. Among these hidden weapons, there was also a kind of "Thunder Fire Bullet", which was made of stone lacquer and was equivalent to a kind of igniter. It was called fierce fire oil. "
"After I lured the enemy out, the phoenix ignited the fire oil, causing all the hidden weapons in the vehicle to be shot out with ten times the force of human power. Even if those people escaped death by luck, they would still be seriously injured!"
"But this move also angered the killers. They didn't try their best. After facing the attack of fierce fire oil, the remaining people started chasing and killing me and Phoenix..."
"Later, Ling Ye appeared and helped us quickly annihilate those enemies, so..."
She described a thrilling incident in an understatement, and Gao Changgong felt even more heartbroken after listening to it.
"What is this fierce fire oil? It has such power. If it is used on the battlefield in the future, wouldn't it..." Zhao Wu asked in surprise.
Lu Yu glared at Zhao Wu, who quickly lowered his head.
Xiao Jinyu didn't think anything was wrong, and just explained: "There are mountains in the south of the county, and the stone comes out of the spring water. It burns extremely brightly. It is called stone paint! This kind of material is originally used as military supplies. It was used by the Northern Wei Dynasty to deal with the Hu people. Ling Ye Just transform it into a thunder and fire bomb to make it more powerful!"
"Princess, can you teach us how to make this kind of thunder and fire bomb? If we follow the prince to the battlefield in the future, we will also..."
Zhao Wu answered excitedly again.
Lu Yu glared at him again.
Xiao Jinyu smiled and said: "Of course!"
Then he called Ling Ye.
Ling Ye handed a piece of paper recording the method of making thunder bombs to Xiao Jinyu, and Xiao Jinyu handed it directly to Zhao Wu.
Zhao Wu was overjoyed when he saw it, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "Thank you, Princess! I didn't expect that the Princess not only has amazing medical skills, but also has this military item..."
The other guards were all happy when they saw this, looking at Xiao Jinyu's eyes with reverence again, they thought to themselves: The prince really married a living treasure! The prince of the county was not taken seriously since he was a child because his mother's identity was unknown. He entered the official position later than his other brothers. He only got to where he is today because of his military exploits.
If there is help from the princess, then the future career...
All the guards were filled with excitement, but seeing the cold expression on King Lanling's face, he seemed to be still immersed in fear and worry. They all bowed their heads and did not dare to speak. Later, under Lu Yu's hint, they all withdrew from the discussion. hall.
After they left, Xiao Jinyu turned his questioning eyes to Ling Ye and Axiu.
Axiu was the first to speak: "Madam, I know you are worried that I grew up in Jiankang and would not be used to it when I came to Northern Qi, and you don't want me to be separated from my relatives, but madam, Axiu's people regard Axiu as a commodity, but You can sell it and give it away, but my mother can’t do anything about it. After you left, I saw my mother, and she told me to follow you well, so she can rest assured!”
After saying that, Axiu knelt down and cried: "Although Axiu has always said that he would repay the lady for saving her life that day, it has always been Axiu who has received the favor from the lady. Axiu does not want to be an ungrateful person, but I hope I can always serve my wife in this life.”
"Furthermore, Shi Niangzi has learned business very well from Mrs. Wei. Shi Niangzi can also quickly learn the cooking skills that Axiu taught her. The tea shop she opened is now full of guests. Shi Niang lets A Xiu told the lady not to worry, everything is fine with them in Jiankang! "
Xiao Jinyu nodded and turned his gaze to Ling Ye.
Ling Ye then cupped his hands and said: "Don't worry, girl, Ling Ye has found Bai Yi and Shan Zi. Bai Yi's martial arts have improved over the years. If he is not under Ling Ye, he will protect the Xiao family on behalf of the girl, and the Xiao family Xianlang also said that he is practicing martial arts diligently now and has enough ability to protect himself, so how can he make you so worried, girl? "
Bai Yi and Shan Zi were both the first of the eight horses she trained. They were indeed the best ones selected from the Hundred People Trilogy. With them by Xiao Xian's side, she felt relieved.
"However, girl, Chen Xu... His Majesty the Chen State seems to have found out that you were pretending to be Xie Zhen, so not long after you left Jiankang, he sent the left guard general Fan Yi to chase you out!
I When I arrived at Jingkou, I met General Fan, who said that he was ordered by His Majesty to bring the girl back! "
Hearing this, Xiao Jinyu's expression changed slightly.
Even if he knew that she was Xie Zhen, there was no reason to take her back, whom he had personally promised to marry to the Northern Qi envoy. What was Chen Xu thinking in his heart?
“However, when General Fan saw that you had crossed the river and lost sight of you, he gave up tracking you!”
That's probably because Fan Yi didn't quite approve of the emperor Chen Xu's approach, so he gave up tracking it!
"Girl, you are taking too much risk this time. Those are the royal killers of Northern Qi, people who were killed from the Shura field. If..."
Ling Ye wanted to say something else, but he stopped talking under the hint of Xiao Jinyu's gaze. At this time, Ling Ye noticed that Gao Changgong's face was even more ugly, and the pain in his eyes was even worse.
"Ling Ye once assassinated Chen Xu, the emperor of the Southern Dynasty, and it would not be good for Xiao Xian to stay in the Xiao family for a long time. Therefore, Ling Ye agreed to Xiao's request and followed the girl to Northern Qi!"
After hearing this, Xiao Jinyu couldn't say any more words of rejection, so she silently agreed to keep them.
Axiu was overjoyed and knelt down: "Thank you so much, madam, for being willing to take me in!"
"Should you change your name to Princess now?"
"Yes, thank you Princess!"
Xiao Jinyu asked Axiu to stand up and asked, "How did you find our traces?"
Ling Ye took out a porcelain bottle. After opening it, a butterfly with black wings flew out.
"When the girl got her hairpin, the groom of the Xiao family hid pollen in the girl's hairpin that could attract this kind of butterfly. Ling Ye used this butterfly to judge the girl's whereabouts!"
I see!
It turns out that even Xiao Xian didn't trust her and didn't want to go against her will, so he sent Ling Ye and Yibubu to her in this way.
"Uncle Xian bothered to ask you to protect me in such a roundabout way!"
"Girls always say that we should cherish our lives, but girl, do you put your own life first?"
He had already experienced it once, obeying her order and letting her use her body as bait to lure away the enemy, but that time the world was separated forever.
If God had not given him this chance to come back... how could he have met the girl again?
When Ling Ye asked, Xiao Jinyu fell silent!
Gao Changgong was even more displeased and drove Ling Ye and Axiu out. The more he listened to them, the more uncomfortable he felt.
Ling Ye was reluctant at first, but Axiu pulled him out.
"Xiao Jinyu, don't you have anything to say to me?" After a long silence, Gao Changgong asked slightly angrily.
Seeing the anger, grievance and sadness in his eyes, Xiao Jinyu once again put her arms around his neck and hugged him tightly.
"I realize my mistake, Chang Gong. I ignored your feelings. I will discuss everything with you in the future, okay?"
A soft word dispelled the gloom in his heart. No matter how angry he was, how could he be willing to lose his temper with her?
As if he was afraid that she would lose him if he let go, he hugged her very tightly again and asked: "Ayu, you have this scar on your face because you are afraid that I, the Emperor of Qi, will embarrass me, right?"
Otherwise, with her medical skills, she might not be able to cure a slender blade mark.
"Yes. Will it be... ugly?"
"In my heart, you look good no matter what. I don't care about that, as long as you feel good about it, that's fine!"
"Xiao Jinyu!"
He suddenly called out in a very solemn voice and said: "I agree with you to join the Northern Qi Dynasty, and I will recommend it to Gao Zhan!"
He said these words very seriously, as if he had been struggling for a long time before making up his mind.
Xiao Jinyu looked at him slightly surprised.
"I know that you are not just an ordinary woman who is dependent on her husband, and I should not selfishly occupy everything you have, especially your freedom."
"From now on, I will support whatever you want to do, but my only request is that you cannot go into danger alone!"
"good!"
Xiao Jinyu also had tears in her eyes for a moment. She originally thought that for a prince and grandson like Gao Changgong, who grew up in an environment where women regard their husbands as their top priority, he would not be able to understand her thoughts and pursuits.
But it only took a few days for him to figure it out!
By joining the Northern Qi Dynasty, if you can prevent that incident from happening, extend Gao Zhan's reign, or even eradicate those treacherous sycophants who gossiped in Gao Zhan's ears, you may be able to change Gao Changgong's fate in this life!
And even if she can't change the monarch of Qi, if she holds the power, she can use it as a sharp blade to protect the people she wants to protect. In addition, becoming an official under the name of Xie Zhen in the Northern Qi Dynasty can also make the reputation of the Xie family in Chen County rise again, so that the Xie family will not disappear forever in the long river of history.
She also has the ability to fight Chen Xu to the end!
Thinking about it, she suddenly felt a little emotional, and she couldn't help but have a trace of ambition deep in her heart: If the world could be unified, there wouldn't be so many wars, there wouldn't be the helplessness of being separated from loved ones, and there wouldn't be any more emotion. Life is short and the flowers may wither at any time!
"Chang Gong, thank you for your help. You are so kind to me!" She buried herself in the crook of his neck again and said happily in his ear.
Gao Changgong's heart suddenly felt as soft as spring water, he hugged her and kissed her heavily. After a moment, he seemed to be afraid of hurting her, and turned into a gentle affection.
"Ayu, it's me who should thank you. Thank you for reminding me of my mother."
The woman who only left her back in the depths of memory and never wanted to look back!
"You know everything?"
Knowing that she had drugged the sandalwood, knowing that she had been working hard to guide him to reconcile with his past self, knowing that she was using her emotions to heal the shadows in his heart left in his childhood, as well as the missing feelings. .
"Yes, I know. But Xiao Jinyu, you are my wife, not medicine. No matter what I have experienced, you cannot compensate me."
"I am lucky to have you in this life. I should love you well and protect you!"
…
After deciding to agree to her joining the Northern Qi Dynasty, King Lanling no longer avoided the matter, but took the initiative to invite Li Mi and Cui Heng to explain to her in detail the various forces and the current situation in the Northern Qi court.
Lu Yu also participated.
"Among the people in Yecheng, the number of Han people compared to the number of Xianbei people is eleven, but the situation in our Qi court is the other way around. The factions of the clan and the Xianbei nobles, but these two factions dislike each other and have been fighting among themselves. "
Li Mi explained to Xiao Jinyu while drinking tea: "However, little lady, what you should want to know the most is Lu Lingxuan and He Shikai. Lu Lingxuan is also a Xianbei. After being from a famous family, she was convicted because of her husband and was fined and confiscated. Nu, she transformed from a slave to a wet nurse to the prince, with power in the harem. Now the courtiers and accomplices attracted by Lu Lingxuan include not only villains like Gao Anahu, Han Changluan and his son Mutipo, but also Zu Jue, who has outstanding intelligence but lacks A virtuous minister.”
"Zu Jue? Who is he?"
"Speaking of Zu Jue, I have to say that he is a genius. Not only is he a brilliant poet, he is also proficient in all kinds of skills. He is familiar with music and is good at pipa. He is also extremely talented, proficient in four languages, and can also perform yin and yang divination. , painting and medical skills!
However, with the young lady’s talent and learning, she may not be inferior to him! "
Xiao Jinyu frowned when he heard the word "medical skill".
"When Emperor Wenxuan was alive, did this person ever become an official?" she asked.
Li Mi then said: "Of course, he once served as Emperor Wenxuan's exclusive physician, but his character was not very good. He was extremely lustful and greedy. If his talent was not too obvious, Emperor Wenxuan would not be willing to kill him. He would also He won't survive now, but later, after your mother became Emperor Xuan's imperial physician, he was sent to build Santai again, which was equivalent to being demoted and given some mild punishment! "
"After Gao Zhan succeeded to the throne, Zu Jue wanted to be a close minister of the emperor, so he competed with He Shikai for favor. Later, He Shikai slandered Gao Zhan and made him a Wende prefect. Later, he So he flattered Lu Lingxuan's mother and son and became Lu Lingxuan's accomplice."
When he said this, seeing Xiao Jinyu's face becoming a little solemn, Li Mi felt ashamed and asked, "Has the young lady thought of her mother?"
"If I think this person is suspicious, I think we can start with this person!"
Xiao Jinyu nodded.
Li Mi asked in a low voice: "Is the young lady really planning to join the Northern Qi Dynasty in the name of Xie Zhen?"
"yes!"
Xiao Jinyu nodded again. Cui Heng's eyes were full of worry. There was no expression on King Lanling's face.
At this time, Lu Yu ran over and reported to Gao Changgong: "Prince, the two people captured by the princess have confessed, and they have been ordered by Governor Liu to hunt down the prince! However, these two people are Han Changluan subordinates!”
"Han Changluan is also from Xianbei and has always been against the Han clan. This person is Lu Lingxuan's confidant!" Li Mi added.
Xiao Jinyu hummed and nodded again.
"Then let's start back to Yecheng!" She stood up and said.
…
From Pengcheng back to Yecheng, it would have taken less than ten days to arrive, but there were occasional enemy attacks along the way, which inevitably delayed some time. However, we arrived at Yecheng, the capital of Northern Qi, on the eleventh day.
Yecheng is located at the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain, surrounded by mountains and rivers, forming a natural moat. It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.
"There is a post station outside Yecheng. After the reform of the Han system, the post and transmission were integrated. Now the post station is not only responsible for the transmission of military intelligence and documents, but also responsible for receiving officials and foreign envoys, escorting prisoners, and transporting tributes.
Edicts, political orders and wanted orders for leaving Yecheng were all sent to various places from this..."
Along the way, Li Mi was describing the people, customs and geographical location of Yecheng in detail to Xiao Jinyu.
"If you want to enter Yecheng, you need to pass through this station!"
Xiao Jinyu listened carefully to what he said and looked around cautiously.
"Let's go in!"
Gao Changgong looked at Xiao Jinyu and Xiao Jinyu also looked at him and nodded.
A group of cavalry rushed into the post house in a mighty manner. Immediately, someone heard the sound and came to greet them and asked who was coming.
Gao Changgong took out the cane held by the envoy, which symbolized his identity as an envoy. When the visitor saw his extraordinary handsome appearance, he immediately reacted, knelt down and said: "It turns out that King Lanling has returned to our country of Qi! Welcome King Lanling! "
There are also positions in the inn such as facao, guesthouse commander, bus commander, and housemaster.
The person who came to greet him was just a bus official.
King Lanling nodded and said: "We want to enter the city!"
"yes!"
The man responded and immediately called for someone to open the door of the post house and let him leave!
But just when everyone had just crossed the inn and was about to rush to the city, suddenly there was the sound of horse hooves coming from the city. This group of people came with a menacing and quite unkind approach.
The leader was actually dressed as a palace servant. He rode his horse to a stop ten steps away from King Lanling and shouted loudly: "Is this the King of Lanling?"
"Exactly!"
"Please ask King Lanling to accept the order!"
Gao Changgong looked suspicious and was about to dismount when Xiao Jinyu stopped him.
"Chang Gong, don't kneel down to these people!" She whispered, then turned to the chamberlain, "If you have any decree, just declare it like this!"
The chamberlain was furious: "King Lanling, seeing the imperial edict is like seeing His Majesty, how can you allow such women to mess around!"
"What about my wife? It's not your turn to reprimand me yet. If you have any imperial edict, just declare it, right? Otherwise, I will go to the city immediately to see His Majesty. When I get to the Tai Chi Hall, I will tell you everything in person!"
The chamberlain was a little anxious, so he actually took out a bright yellow imperial edict and read out: "King Gao Changgong of Lanling colluded with the spies of Zhou State to plot rebellion. Your Majesty will give you a cup of poisonous wine..."
The guards were all shocked and angry.
But before the chamberlain finished speaking, he felt a sharp light flash in front of his eyes, and a sharp arrow pierced his throat directly!
Gao Changgong looked at Xiao Jinyu in surprise, and saw that her face was filled with anger, and she suddenly became as cold as a Rakshasa!
The chamberlain fell off his horse and died holding his throat. The people behind him were so frightened that they did not dare to step forward. One of them shouted:
"King Lanling, can you resist the decree?"
Without saying a word, Xiao Jinyu shot another arrow, which also penetrated the man's throat.
Suddenly all the riders looked at Xiao Jinyu in horror.
"We have just arrived at Yecheng Station, and Your Majesty probably hasn't received the news yet. Where did you get this imperial edict?"
"What kind of crime should I do if I falsely preach the imperial edict?"
"So what if I kill you?"
