Chapter 627: Being stabbed
“Let’s go,
I met the eldest sister on the road and got the news,
Jiuli Mulberry Garden visited Lanying.
But I only saw one The mulberry garden is so lush..."
In the courtyard,
Zheng Houye sat there with tea in his hand, listening to Liu Ruqing's opera.
Liu Ruqing has a very good voice,
She is also beautiful and charming,
Anyway, Mr. Zheng didn’t quite understand what he was singing. Because it is deliberately mixed with a Chudi accent, but it just sounds good and is enjoyable.
"The first bowl of white and red stewed heavenly meat,
The second bowl of fried fish is fragrant,
The third bowl..."
When singing this, Zheng Mr. Hou still listened with great interest. , and even started to think about what kind of dish it was;
It’s not like I heard people give the name of the dish before: steamed lamb, steamed bear paw, steamed deer tail, roasted flower duck, roasted chick, roasted sub. Goose………
After listening to it for a long time, I got tired of it, but the other party still felt good about himself and finished it in one breath. When it was over, the audience gave some sparse applause for finally being relieved.
To put it bluntly,
maybe the latter is ugly.
Just then, the blind man walked in.
Liu Ruqing stopped and served tea.
Zheng Fan turned to look at the blind man and said, "What happened?"
With the blind man's level of conduct, unless something big really happened, he would not be able to disturb him at this time.
"Your Majesty, the attack on Chu has been completed."
"Huh, huh?"
Zheng Houye didn't react at first, but when he thought about it for the second time Only then did I really realize what happened.
"Haha."
Zheng Houye smiled, interesting, interesting, he actually got it right.
It is almost no secret that General Nian of Chu State is an admirer of King Jingnan;
Unexpectedly, the regent of Chu State is actually a fan of Emperor Yan.
This is exactly the same as the others.
"Master Marquis, Mr. Bei, you guys chat, I'll go down and prepare some refreshments."
"Okay."
"Thank you for your hard work."
The blind man sat down, Said: "Your Majesty, Chu State is in command It is Nian Yao who is attacking Gan. "
"Of course, there must be no mistakes in Chu's attacking Gan at this time. We must use the most capable general. This Nian Yao is a capable man. It’s okay.”
Once upon a time, Lord Zheng, the young barbarian prince, Zhong Tianlang of the Qian Kingdom, and Nian Yao of the Chu Kingdom were collectively known as the four future generals.
But in fact, it is not very clear what happened to the little barbarian prince. Zhong Tianlang put it bluntly, he is just a big boy. From a real perspective, only Nian Yao has the qualifications to stand side by side with him. Together.
Zheng Fan asked: "How is the battle going?"
"According to the current news, the Chu people are in overwhelming strength."
"Well, that's not surprising. The Ganren army is depleted. It’s not a matter of one or two years. Although there has been some improvement in the past few years, it is still not possible to completely clean things up. It happened overnight. In addition, in order to consolidate the three sides, the cadres kept sending soldiers and horses from all over the country who could fight. The chieftains in the southwestern region made trouble again and mobilized a lot of energy. The southeastern side was not big in the first place. In the event of a war, one can imagine how poor the defense and armaments will be.”
Lord Zheng took a sip of tea,
continued:
“Didn’t similar things happen in the period of history that we are familiar with? The Kingdom of Jin was just ravaged by the Mongols. Suddenly, we waited for the Mongols to withdraw. After the soldiers went to the west, the Jin Kingdom did not choose to go north to take the opportunity to regain the lost territory. Instead, they chose to go south to attack the Southern Song Dynasty to recover their losses.
To put it bluntly,
In this world,
< br>
There is no ethics and no friendship between countries. Over and over again, he just keeps explaining one sentence:
If you are weak, you will be beaten. "
"Lord, how far do you think this war will go? ”
Zheng Fan thought for a moment,
said:
"The Chu State has just been defeated, and its vitality has been severely damaged. Furthermore, the abolition of noble fiefdoms in the country will also require a large army to suppress it. The Chu State court will inevitably be distracted by a lot of energy.
I feel that Nian Yao's behavior Cifagan's appetite was not that big at first, but he couldn't stand it. Ganren was too weak, and he couldn't hold it back.
But after a while, Ganren reacted and started to organize his strength. , the battle situation should be temporarily In a stalemate.
Even Nian Yao will take the initiative to spit out some of the territory he has eaten and reach a peace treaty with Ganren. Anyway, he will make money in Chu State."
The blind man. Hear the words , nodded and said: "Emperor Qian hired Meng Gong, who was idle in Beijing, to go out to the southeast of the town. This person is destined to be with us. When the Lord wanted to raid Mianzhou City for the second time, he was commanding the defense in the city.
Later, he was deeply appreciated by the old Xianggong Zhong and was quickly promoted.
Before his death, Mr. Zhong insisted on opposing the Northern Expedition. He was also a staunch supporter of Mr. Zhong. For this reason, he was dismissed from his official position by the court that was determined to make the Northern Expedition and was thrown back to the capital to idle.
Under the current situation, the official in Qian Kingdom should be counting on him to stabilize the situation in the southeast. "
"I know this person. It is said that the new defense system on the three sides of the Qiang Kingdom a few years ago was formulated by Lao Zhong. He is a capable person. "
"Yes. ”
"Our court will probably sit back and watch the tigers fight, or even add fuel to the fire. For example, send a few civil servants as envoys to Qian Kingdom, or ask the eldest prince to move the border garrison to a certain distance, and then interact with Qian Kingdom. Let's discuss it. I'd like to add some extra coins.
To give Ganren some reassurance, tell Ganren that we don't plan to beat you now, and we don't have the time. To fight you, you can send some more soldiers and horses from the three sides to fight the Chu people."
The blind man smiled and said, "It should be the same as the regulations."
Yan. The country is currently facing serious internal problems and is no longer able to start another war. Therefore, at this time, Chu and Qian are fighting each other, which is what the Yan court wants to see most.
Zheng Houye ordered again:
"Then, haven't the first batch of war horses here been traded yet? Increase the price and add another 20% to reassure my uncle."
"Yes, my lord, I understand." ”
Temporary price increase, yes A very disgusting thing, but here, it is an attitude, that is, the extra 20% I charge is the benefit fee I charge. In the next period of time, I will not harass you nor will I Putting pressure on you, you can go fight Ganren with peace of mind.
Liu Ruqing brought snacks, said nothing, and quickly left.
The blind man picked up a piece of snack, took a bite, and said: "It's also interesting. Originally, Ganchu joined forces to fight against Yan, but now he actually started to pinch it himself."
Zheng Fan shook his head and said:
"Didn't Soochow play the same trick?
Actually, what I'm more worried about is that Qian Guo is going to fight. You have to cripple it and destroy it. If you bite it and bite it again, you may temper it.
Qianguo is so vast and rich in resources and talents. There will be less.”
"There is indeed a possibility, but there is no need to worry about it, Your Majesty. No matter what happens to Dayan now, at least we here in Jindong will become stronger and stronger with time. We are the ones who need time the most now. . ”
“That’s right, we started from scratch, everything is under one roof. It's okay to arrange it from the beginning."
"My lord, I'll go down first. You can continue to listen to the show."
"No, it's time for me to practice my sword. ”
“It’s my subordinates who have disturbed the Lord Yaxing.”
"Yes."
......
After practicing the sword, it was almost dusk. Lord Zheng returned to the house and started to take a bath.
The temperature has been adjusted a long time ago and is just right.
Close your eyes,
Quietly feeling the Qi and blood flowing slowly and rhythmically in the body, this feeling is not bad.
At this time,
the door of the house was pushed open, and
the sound of footsteps was solid.
Actually, the footsteps of the three women in the back house are different.
Because of her skill, Siniang’s footsteps were light;
Liu Ruqing’s footsteps were a little timid,
And because the princess was born in the palace since she was a child, although she is very observant It's necessary, but she is a princess after all, so she feels steady when walking.
Xiong Liqing walked behind Zheng Fan, squatted down, and started to rub Zheng Fan's back.
Qu Peiluo went back, bringing with him more than two thousand prisoners of war from the former Qingluan Army who were released. He walked through the Mengshan Mountains and was led back by the Fan family.
After returning,
he saw the scene where the ancestral hall was destroyed and the tribesmen were massacred for rebellion.
According to the description in the Fan family’s subsequent letter, Qu Peiluo’s eyes were wide open at that time, almost bleeding.
Zheng Houye will ignore this exaggerated rhetorical technique for the time being, because he himself is the actor;
He is very interested in what Qu Peiluo will do next.
"Ms. sir, I thought that Qu Peiluo wouldn't really start an uprising."
"Oh? Why?"
The topic actually came up tacitly.
"Because his temperament is too soft, which is completely different from yours, my husband. You are very tough."
"Of course."
"Then what do you think he will do?"
"I think he will probably live in seclusion and find a place where no one knows him."
"Well, this can be determined by He was not allowed to wait until he finished paying homage in front of Qu's destroyed ancestral hall. When the news of his return was released by the Fan family and the gang he led After going;
Someone in his team will soon subdue him and lock him up there. In his name, with the support of the Fan family, they will recruit troops to fight against your imperial brother.”
"His small number of people, even with the support of the Fan family, are nothing compared to being wiped out by a Forbidden Army."
"There is no need to fight head-on. The Qu family has been operating in the fiefdom for hundreds of years and has accumulated a lot of contacts. It will not be defeated so easily. Just fight guerrillas. As long as the flag is still standing there, it will always create obstacles for your brother. ”
Anyway, Qu Peiluo’s arrangement was just a casual chess move, and he didn’t expect it to bear any fruit. Lord Zheng didn’t care much either.
Besides, if Qu Peiluo is left by his side, he will not accept it. Even Zheng Houye himself will accept it;
Kill him,
But he can’t bear it,
After all, people have nothing to say about me, they are simply too nice.
So,
I can only find a way to let him go and let him use his remaining heat.
"Ms. Gong, I heard that our country Chu and the state of Qian are at war."
"Yes, but don't worry, for your sake, I won't interfere more, let Your brother can just fight with peace of mind.”
"Although I know that my husband is lying to me, I am still very happy to hear this."
"Haha."
At this time,
the princess faded away His clothes slowly walked into the soup pool.
Her skin is very white and tender, showing a pink color after being soaked in the soup.
"Sister said, I can do it now."
Zheng Fan closed his eyes.
The princess bit her red lips,
in the mist of the soup,
suddenly said in a serious voice:
"Little Zhengzi, why don't you wait for me to go to bed!"
Zheng Houye opened his eyes, a little surprised.
Facing Xiong Liqing, who had just said these words,
she was so nervous that she could hardly breathe.
She was afraid of Zheng Fan, very scared, but from what her sister said and from what she saw, it seemed that her husband liked this kind of sentiment.
She risked her life
Then,
found that Zheng Fan was very calm.
The huge worldly pressure, the deep-rooted fear of Zheng Fan, and the twitching regret of having made such a desperate move made the princess, who had always been a strong character, almost cry at this moment;
She has been smart for so long, but she actually took it off for fun at such an important time.
"Who taught you?" Zheng Fan asked.
"I heard it myself." The princess whispered, "Ms. sir, I was wrong."
"No, you are right, you are too right to be ahead of your time. I I can’t keep up yet.”
Zheng Houye stood up from the soup pool, picked up the princess, and slapped her down.
“Pa!”
"Little Zhengzi? You have rebelled against me. Let's see how my husband punishes you!"
"I was wrong, sir, I was wrong, sir."
"Who was wrong? ?"
"I, I was wrong."
"Who was wrong?"
"I, I was wrong, I was wrong."
"Who are you?"
"I, I, I am wrong."
"No , you are right.”
The princess finally realized,
As she was being carried to the bed, her expression suddenly froze,
with a majestic voice that was not false,
said:
"Presumptuous, little Zhengzi, believe it or not I will punish you for your sins, and punish your... uh uh uh"
Then,
It is the punishment for conquering Yunyu overnight.
…………
On the side of the newly built city wall of Fengxin City,
a figure like an iron tower sat on the shoulders of a petite figure.
Under the moonlight,
Fan Li and the sword maid were taking a walk.
“Big guy.”
“Yeah.”
“I’ve grown up.”
“Yeah.”
"But I still like to sit on your shoulders."
"Yeah."
"Master said that I can practice swordsmanship in half a year."
" Yeah."
"When I master the sword, I will take revenge on my first master."
"Yeah."
"Will you stop me?"
"Yeah."
"Okay."
The sword maid was a little sad. She looked up at the moon in the sky, and she didn't know what she was feeling sad about.
"Big man."
"Yeah."
"I want the moon in the sky."
"I want to eat shit."
" ..." Sword maid.
The sword maid jumped down from Fan Li's shoulder.
When I first met her, she was just a little sword boy, following Yuan Zhenxing, constantly complaining that her master was stupid and made them both hungry all the time.
Now, four years have passed. She is not a big girl, but she already has the appearance of a beautiful woman.
"Big man, I want to drink mutton soup."
"Yes."
Fan Li stepped forward, picked up the sword maid, and put her back on his shoulders.
He walked into the city and stopped in front of a broth restaurant.
In order to facilitate business activities, there is no curfew in Fengxin City, so this soup restaurant is still open.
It’s just that there are not many customers. There is a customer sitting in the corner of the first floor, drinking soup alone.
“Junior brother!”
The sword maid shouted.
That lonely figure is none other than Chen Daxia.
A bowl of soup, plus a basin of soup, were brought up.
The sword maid said to Chen Daxia with a very experienced attitude:
"Junior brother, after drinking this bowl of soup, are you going to have a good time in the red tent?"
< br>
When saying this,
Jian Maid blinked.
Chen Daxia nodded and said:
"Yeah."
"Huh?" The sword maid was stunned for a moment, and then shouted loudly: "Okay, I didn't expect you. This person with thick eyebrows and big eyes is actually..."
"Master asked me to go."
"Uh... Master, do you want you to go to the red tent?"
"Yes."
What's next for the sword maid? Ask the master why he asked you to go, but asked:
"Have the master been there with you?"
Daxia Chen shook his head, "Master, no."
The sword maid felt relieved.
The first master in her life is irreplaceable;
But the second master is actually the one she truly respects from the bottom of her heart. Perhaps in the eyes of Lord Zheng Here, the sword master is just a sword master, but in the eyes of "sons and daughters of the world" like the sword maid, the sword master embodies the true style that a knight errant in the world should have.
“Why did the master ask you to go there?”
"Sweeping the floor, wiping the table, delivering the basin... Oh, the night before yesterday, there was another one who got windy. I stimulated him with my sword energy and saved his life."
"Oh, I understand, master. It’s for you to go to the world of mortals to refine your heart.”
“Yes, I can understand that too.”
At this moment,
A group of people rode horses on the street outside and roared past. Although there was no curfew in Fengxin City, Riding a horse without any reason in the city must be a serious crime.
Therefore,
something must have happened, this is the messenger.
“Something happened.” Chen Daxia said.
The sword maid turned to look at Fan Li and said, "Something happened."
Fan Li was still drinking mutton soup,
After a long time
I put down the soup basin and said
“Yes, something happened.”
……
Something did happen,
and,
it was a big deal.
But this news
did not bother Mr. Zheng.
The next morning,
Zheng Houye walked out of the bedroom refreshed, but the princess needed to rest for a while because she was too tired.
That's right,
This is the normal plot that should be, isn't it?
When Mr. Zheng was having breakfast,
Si Niang came over. Under normal circumstances, everyone would not get together to have breakfast because the time when Mr. Zheng gets up is not fixed.
Seeing Siniang sitting over, Zheng Fan was still a little embarrassed, as if he had gone out to spend 398 and was discovered by his wife.
"My lord, eat more eggs."
Sixiang peeled an egg with her own hands and put it into Zheng Fan's porridge bowl.
“Okay, okay.”
Si Niang didn't ask in detail about what happened last night, although she had said she wanted to take a look.
As for whether she is jealous or not, I really don’t feel that way. After all, the princess is still the fourth mother who has made up her mind to take her into the harem.
Listening to the princess calling her sister and being submissive in front of her, Si Niang herself was also happy.
So yesterday, she not only signaled the princess to go to bed, but also reminded her that she must wake up later than the Lord the next morning. When the Lord got up, she pretended to be woken up, saying that she was too tired and couldn't help it. Get out of bed.
“Next, it’s my uncle’s turn.” Siniang said.
"Well, uncle?"
Zheng Fan suddenly realized,
"Oh, uncle, haha."
Siniang took out a letter and put it in Zheng Fan's hand. In front of Fan, he said:
"Sun Youdao sent an urgent letter from Yingdu."
"Something happened?"
"Yes, the fifth prince was assassinated in Yingdu."
——Thank you Yan Zuzu for becoming the 161st leader of Demon Lin!
Normal updates have begun, good night!
