Chapter 715: How many emperors have I killed, not to mention the prince?
Near noon, southeast of Yingoak City.
The autumn wind rustles in Pinggang, half of the city is white and half of the city is yellow.
Chu Pingsheng's conspicuous carriage was stopped by a soldier from the Fengzi Camp. Prince Bei Ming's car was unknown to everyone in Lingzhou City.
Cucumber, who was sitting near the car door, took a letter and handed it to Chu Pingsheng.
"What's written on it?"
The green ant asked, and Zhao Fengya also pricked up her ears to listen like a curious baby. Even Xu Weixiong, who had Chu Pingsheng's legs stretched into his arms and was ravaged from head to face and then to his ass, had a strange light in his blank eyes.
"Xu Fengnian said that with the help of Bei Mingxizuo, my cousin Lin Xiao avoided Zhao Heng's troops and went north along the Yanzi River. He entered the Yongzhou territory, but was hijacked by a group of bandits. In order to curry favor with the King of Qingcheng, the leader Lin Xiao paid tribute to Shenxiao Sect, Now he has rushed to Qingcheng Mountain. He hopes that Wu Lingsu will let him go for the sake of King Beiming. He wants us to go faster and meet at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain. If we are late, the consequences will be disastrous. "
Cucumber said: "What are the consequences?"
Chu Pingsheng handed the letter to Green Ant and explained: "Wu Lingsu, the king of Qingcheng, has an evil reputation. He is best at the secret technique of extracting yin and replenishing yang. His reputation as king of Qingcheng was based on this to win Zhao Chun's favor and win him the title of king." ”
Zhao Fengya said: "Wu Lingsu, the king of Qingcheng, is so brave that he even dares to arrest your people."
Cucumber pinched her little face, which had not been hungry recently and was a little fatter: "You have not taken the comments of passers-by to your head along the way. Who is more famous, Young Master or Master Qilin?"
"Of course it's Qilin Zhenren."
Master Qilin is Beimang's national master and a master of Taoism. Her Royal Highness still has this common sense.
"In the battle of Lingzhou City, ordinary people couldn't tell who was who, but they must have been deeply impressed by the Fire Qilin who set fire to the city. Li Yishan asked people to deliberately exaggerate the importance of Qilin Master in this matter. If you think highly of the young master, you wouldn’t think that Master Qilin is his follower.”
"So what you're saying is that Wu Lingsu doesn't take the young master seriously at all?"
"I suspect that he probably doesn't know who Lin Qing is. A guy who studies Fang Zhongshu every day and has a bunch of female disciples around him, how can he have time to do other things."
Cucumber talked about Wu Lingsu, and her pair of flirtatious peach blossom eyes squinted again and again, making Green Ant feel uncomfortable because before leaving, she kept her master in the room and slept for a day. The next day, she was chased and beaten by Cucumber. She knows the taste of food, and she is afraid that she will not have the chance to eat alone on the road. It is better to eat as much as possible before setting off, and it will save her for a month.
Green Ant, Cucumber, Baigan and others who are also maids of Wutong Garden talk about men in private, and there is nothing wrong with talking about that and that. Zhao Fengya, as the Princess of Liyang, has a hard time understanding the maid culture and tries very hard to integrate into it. , less likely to be excluded.
"Anyone who dares to touch the young master will be in trouble."
Chu Pingsheng said: "I'll say it again, you three are my people, not Lin Xiao."
Cucumber's slender eyebrows were slightly raised, and she was no longer jealous of the green ants. Her heart was filled with honey and her mouth was chewing sweets, hoping that winter would come soon. When winter came, she would have a chance to warm her bed.
Zhao Fengya asked desperately: "Why doesn't Lin Xiao count? Isn't she your cousin?"
Chu Pingsheng did not explain his relationship with the Lin family in Qingzhou. He took back his feet teasing Xu Weixiong who was huddled in the corner of the carriage, lay his head in the green ant's arms, and looked sideways at the faint autumn mountains outside the window.
"Zhao Fengya, are you hiding food again?"
Princess Suizhu bit half of her lip, raised her eyebrows, rubbed, slowly, and took out a yellow paper bag from her wide sleeves. It passed through the main block of Yingoak City and slipped into the street with the help of Urination Escape and drove for a while. I bought half a pound of dragon beard cake from Shisanfang in the past century.
"I...I didn't hide it secretly. I just saw a lot of people gathered in front of the shop. I've never seen this before. It looks delicious. I bought half a kilo and let's try it together."
She was so flustered that Cucumber blushed for her: "Zhao Fengya, I'm curious, where did you get the money to buy this?"
When Princess Sui Zhu went to Wudang Mountain, she was accompanied by Han Diao Temple. She had no need to bring her own money. When she came down from the mountain, her two luminous pearls were confiscated and turned over. Her daily work was to bathe and change her master, rub her legs and beat her back, and she had no chance to leave Wutong. Yuan went to the city to purchase goods. This arrangement was to prevent her from having a chance to escape. Passing by Yingoak City early this morning, she said it was convenient to get off the bus. Cucumber wanted to follow her, but the master suddenly asked her to buy two buns to feed the dog. He also said that Zhao Fengya couldn't run away, so he allowed her to do her own thing. Who knew that this place was at the foot of Wudang Mountain? After three days of starvation and nine meals, her life has been shadowed ever since. Nizi, who hid food reserves everywhere in Wutong Garden, even hid her personal money.
"The money was given to me by the second cook and the waiter in the dining room." She was very honest and explained everything clearly.
"Have you learned how to accept bribes?"
The flying general destroyed half of the palace. Xu Xiao, Xu Fengnian, Li Yishan and others moved to the military camp outside the city. They could no longer use the facilities such as the dining room, tea room, and layout, but they did not dare to evacuate. They had to pay more money to appease those people. Take good care of the moody Mr. Lin in Wutong Garden. The fate of the tea clerks is there. If you have a lot of silver hair, you have to have a life flower. Once you don't like it, the devil star will be angry. Beheading is a small matter, but killing the nine tribes is a big deal. With such a premise, the servants of the palace It is easy to understand why Zhao Fengya, a heartless rookie maid, was bribed with money to collect information.
"Is this considered bribery?" From Zhao Fengya's perspective, gold bars and jewelry packed in large wooden boxes are considered bribery. Silver is not considered bribery. How can copper coins, no matter how small, be called money? If she hadn't been kidnapped by Lin Qing and seen her walking on the street, she would have been treated like garbage.
Cucumber's peach blossom eyes stared, and Zhao Fengya quickly raised her pink hands, tilted her head and closed her eyes to accept the punishment.
"Okay, let's write down the fault first and let her make up for it."
Chu Pingsheng's words put an end to the lawsuit. Zhao Fengya raised her head slightly, blinked her seductive eyes, knelt down in front of her master, pinched the dragon beard cake with one hand, and held it underneath with the other hand.
Chu Pingsheng opened his mouth and took a small bite. It was soft and dense, sweet but not greasy, and had a layered texture when chewed. It was really good. He thought to himself that no wonder it dared to be called a century-old restaurant. There was a circle of people around the door.
"That's enough, you can eat it yourself."
Zhao Fengya looked at the dragon beard cake that he had bitten off a piece of in her hand. With the idea of not wasting food, she naturally put it in her little hand and raised it to her mouth. She ate it cleanly in three gulps, leaving it stained on her lips. A layer of white glutinous rice flour.
Chu Pingsheng reached out his hand and wiped away the powder next to the mole at the corner of her eye, giving her a flattering smile. Cucumber was secretly amazed. During her days in Wutong Garden, Zhao Fengya was given a lot of hard work, such as washing clothes, wiping the floor, wiping tables, carrying water, and burning firewood. She was exposed to the wind and sun, got up early and went to bed late. As a result, she grew more and more plump, and her hands, face, and body , she doesn’t look like a maid at all. Few people may believe that she is a princess, but a young lady from a wealthy family will never doubt her.
Of course, Cucumber didn't know that every time Zhao Fengya served a meal, there would be leftovers. If the master who had enough food could not waste anything and didn't mind eating his leftovers, she should be radiant and youthful. permanent.
The green ant was also surprised at first, but later he saw his master making an elixir, mixing the skin flakes Zhao Fengya rubbed off during the bath into the medicinal powder, and then combined it with the changes in his own body, and he gradually understood. People in Lingzhou City call him the Big Devil, which is very one-sided. He is right when he says that he is a doctor who saves lives and heals the wounded, because he himself is a walking elixir of good fortune. Xu Weixiong volunteered to be Lin Qing's dog. He occasionally had some bad intentions, such as asking her to lick the dust off her feet. It seemed to be humiliating her, but if it were someone with a serious illness and no cure, it would be no less. To reward new life.
"Xu Fengnian, Wu Lingsu, Zhao Yutai, ha..."
Chu Pingsheng pushed the bamboo mat open a crack and said to the driver: "Old Xu, hurry up and try to get to Qingcheng Mountain in the evening."
"Yes."
The old man, who had put on a sheepskin jacket before winter arrived, with his calves wrapped in two layers of cotton, shook the reins, raised his black hooves that had been trimmed just before setting off, flicked his tail, raised his head, and galloped forward with a long hiss. , the rapidly rotating copper and silver chariot shafts brought up a circle of yellow dust.
Hey.
The carriage sank into the horizon, and suddenly a black shadow appeared from under the clouds, tearing the Gyrfalcon flying north into pieces. Its feathers and flesh were swept away by the wind, and a small note fell and fluttered away.
……
evening.
At the foot of Qingcheng Mountain, on the stone steps leading to the Qingyang Palace, there are more than a dozen female disciples of the Shenxiao sect wearing long white skirts and blue gauze clothes. Each has her own beauty. Even in Yingxiang City, she would be one of the best in a hundred. Now holding a hand With a long sword, he looked murderously at the two carriages getting closer and closer on the sidewalk. The black carriage in front had been parked at the intersection for almost half an hour, and the copper and silver luxury car behind had just arrived.
As before, Hua Gua first led Xu Weixiong to the front of the car to make a stepping stone, and then Chu Pingsheng walked out of the car and stepped on her body to the ground. There was no movement in Xu Fengnian's carriage, either because no one was there, or because he knew that he could not take back the second sister who was humiliated every day, so he simply stayed out of sight and was hiding in the carriage.
Ning Emei, who was dressed in military uniform, suppressed his anger and stepped forward, telling him that His Royal Highness had just negotiated with people from the Shenxiao sect and asked Wu Lingsu to release Lin Xiao for the sake of King Beiming. Wu Lingsu, the king of Qingcheng, ignored him and did not show his face. Li Yuaxe Unable to get angry, he charged in with his sword and was forced back by the female disciples of the Shenxiao Sect at the Long Step Station. The matter had reached this point and His Royal Highness was powerless to help. Chu Pingsheng said, "It's okay." He pushed the person away, put his hands behind his back, and ordered Hua Guagua to lead Xu Weixiong to follow him, step by step, and walked up the steps towards the imposing mountain gate with carved beams and embroidered pillars.
Xu Fengnian's carriage shook, and the green cloth curtain opened a crack, half of a human face was reflected in the dim light, and his eyes full of hatred moved up little by little as he walked.
Li Chungang sat diagonally opposite, with his legs stretched out, his big feet protruding from his straw sandals. He rubbed his big toe and second toe, and rubbed off a ball of gray skin. The space in the car is limited, so I have taken off my hat. I am holding a reed stick in my mouth, pushing it up and down, and it looks very relaxed.
Yu Youwei and the white cat in her arms were not relaxed and very nervous. The one-armed old man's sloppiness was still bearable. The problem was that the criss-crossed face full of scars was too scary. I remember the first time I saw Wu Meiniang, she had burrs all over her body. He flew up and folded his ears back. She comforted him for a long time before he got better.
"It turned out that Hao didn't care about the life and death of the Lin family. It turned out to be lies."
Xu Fengnian moved his fingers, and the green cloth flickered to block the sunlight. Lin Xiao met a bandit on the road and was kidnapped to donate to Qingcheng Mountain. It was he who planned and implemented it. The task Li Yishan gave him was to stir up conflicts between Lin Qing and Zhao Heng as much as possible when he arrived in Qingzhou. The bigger the matter, the better, and strive to bring down the Zhao family in Liyang and get rid of this big devil with the power of the whole country.
As the king of Qingcheng, Wu Lingsu was a nail planted by the imperial court in the southeast of Beimu. His duty was to cooperate with King Jing'an's Qingzhou Army to monitor Beimu's movements. Now, with a little trick, he could use Lin Qing's hands to remove this nail.
Yu Youwei stroked the white cat's back and said, "Lin Qing will rush into the formation as soon as she breaks into the formation. Why are you taking your second sister up the mountain?"
Only then did Xu Fengnian realize that Lin Qing only got out of the car with Cucumber and Xu Weixiong, while Green Ant and Zhao Fengya were still in his luxury car. He didn't know what he thought of, his face changed, he lifted the entire green cloth curtain and looked towards the bluestone steps. .
