Chapter 425 You are called Ku He
Chu Pingsheng said: "Then do you think that the current Zhan family can stabilize the situation? There are a lot of women in the Zhan family, and their biggest reliance is only the great master Ku Ku He can only ensure that the Zhan family sits on the throne, but cannot help them govern the country. Therefore, to make these court officials inherited from the Northern Wei Dynasty available to the Zhan family, some small means must be used, such as pretending that mother and daughter are not getting along. situation to divide the parties in North Korea and China.”
! ! ! ! ! !
Si Lili looked at him in shock.
"What did you say? The Queen Mother and her... were acting?"
"Li Yunqian used the prince, the second prince, the eldest princess, Lin Ruofu, and Fan Xian as chess pieces to play a big game of chess. Who said that the emperor cannot use himself as a chess piece to play chess?"
Chu Pingsheng glanced Glancing at the prison car in front of him, he said: "I have always heard that the Northern Qi Jinyi Guards are as heavy as Chen Pingping and have the same power. Uesugi Tiger has a very high prestige in the army, and he is a centrist who neither kisses the Queen Mother nor the Emperor. Their mother and daughter have no Li Yunqian is strong, what can be done to weaken these two forces? "
The manager thought for a while and said: "What do you mean... drive the tiger to swallow the wolf and sit back and watch them fight until both sides lose? "
Chu Pingsheng reached out and scratched her flaming red lips: "Well... not too stupid."
"Then... what are you going to do?"
Having seen what his man could do, Si Lili didn't believe that he went north to Qi just to return her to Zhan Doudou.
"Ah...treat others in their own way."
He smiled softly and said something that Si Lili couldn't understand.
"What do you mean? Please explain clearly."
"It would be pointless to tell you, isn't it?"
"..."
Si Lili stared blankly at the man holding "Bai Wuchang" in his arms. The wheels ran over a ball of mud, and the carriage shook slightly. Her body also swayed from side to side, and she felt like she was changing. Became the white cat in his arms.
……
Seven days later.
In the back hall of the Tai Chi Hall, Li Yunqian stroked the arrows a few times and glanced at Fei Jie, who was summoned into the palace by Hou Zhigang: "Where is the mission's motorcade now?"
Fei Jie lowered his head and said: "If nothing unexpected happens on the way, we should be near Jishui."
"In a few days, the black cavalry escorting the mission will be withdrawn."
< br>"Your Majesty?"
Fei Jie thought he heard wrongly, and stared at the emperor who picked up the long bow and took aim with the arrow.
“I will let you withdraw the black cavalry from the group in two days.”
Fei Jie looked embarrassed: "But Your Majesty, we will arrive at the border between the two countries in two days. If we withdraw the black cavalry at this time, what will happen if Fan Xian is in danger?"
Whoosh!
Poof!
The armor target placed in front of the screen shook and was pierced by the arrow. The bowstring of the long bow in Li Yunqian's hand buzzed and shook, which showed how powerful the arrow was.
“Are you questioning me?”
Upon hearing this, Fei Jie quickly knelt down and said, "I don't dare."
"If you don't dare, just do it."
Li Yunqian waved his sleeves and drove him away. .
Hou Zhigang took a few steps closer: "Master Fei, Your Majesty is going to have a rest, please."
Fei Jie did not dare to say more, got up from the ground, and went to court with a full stomach of confusion. Walk outside.
There are warriors from the Qi Kingdom in the north, and Chu Pingsheng is accompanying them. He withdraws the black knight at the critical moment. Does this father want to kill his son?
......
At the same time, the delegation's convoy passed through a large river. Fan Xian ordered him to rest where he was. The accompanying cooks used the clear water in the river to make a fire to cook and steam the dry food and meat they carried. Hot and distributed to the team members to satisfy their hunger.
The food is quite rich, including soft and delicious beef, fish fried until golden on both sides, dried pickled radish and green vegetables marinated in lemon juice, drizzled with a layer of sesame oil, and served with steamed peanuts and cooked chicken, and finally a bowl of steaming rice dumplings.
For the grassroots officials of Honglu Temple, it can be said that the food is better than usual.
This is normal. As a team, if the other country's citizens look at them when they arrive at their destination, and they all look sallow and emaciated, wouldn't it undermine the majesty of a great country? What's more, there are many posthouses and castles along the way to the north. The supply of food and vegetables is not a problem at all, so there is no such thing as economy.
After dinner, we continued on the road. Before the wheels of the carriage turned a few times, Si Lili heard someone shouting outside.
"Master Chu, Master Chu..."
She opened the door curtain and saw Wang Qinian running after the carriage with a square food box. With half a face, he pointed to the things in the food box: "This...dessert, dessert."
"That ingot of gold is quite useful." Si Lili smiled and said, "You always talk about it. How can you say what you said?"
"Can you make money work?"
Chu Pingsheng knocked on the door frame and signaled the driver to stop.
"Yes, that's it." Si Lili opened the door curtain, leaned out half of his body, and took the food box from Wang Qinian with a flattering smile on his face.
“This is the taro from Guangxi Road. I have put the white sugar in a small dish. The dried persimmons next to it are dried persimmons. Don’t look at it, it doesn’t look good. It is very sweet. Although it is from the north. There are some, but they are not as delicious as those in the south. There is also this... fresh oranges, just this. If you go further north, you can’t buy them anywhere.”
“Thank you, Mr. Wang”
"You're welcome, Miss Lili. You're welcome."
Wang Qinian had a smile on his face that looked like he had fallen into a pool of syrup. He waved and watched the carriage pass in front of him.
Gundam on the horse behind him gritted his teeth and looked at this flattering villain.
Taro is a tribute item from Guangxi Road. Considering that the Northern Qi Dynasty did not have it, the Ministry of Rites arranged some and sent them to the Northern Qi Dynasty as a gift for the mission, as did persimmons and oranges.
Wang Qinian not only stole the tribute, but also dared to order the cook to steam the taro, and arranged for half a bowl of white sugar to be served to Chu Pingsheng. Thief! Villain! Twenty-five boys!
Gao Da was Fan Jian's bodyguard. Given Chu's relationship with the Fan family, it was naturally impossible for him to have a favorable impression. Wang Qinian, as Fan Xian's follower, was bribed with a piece of gold. He despised such a person from the bottom of his heart.
I must tell Mr. Xiao Fan about this and ask him to take precautions in advance to avoid being stabbed in the back by the shameless villain. Gundam secretly made up his mind.
On the other side, Si Lili rolled a piece of soft, waxy and steaming snow-white taro in a bowl of white sugar, wrapped it in a thin layer of sugar sand, and covered it with his hands. , handed it to Chu Pingsheng’s mouth.
He chewed a few mouthfuls and swallowed slowly.
"Is it delicious?"
"It tastes pretty good."
She dipped the remaining half piece in sugar, put it into her small mouth of the cherry, and tasted it carefully, her eyes lit up, and her heart What Tao offered as tribute to the royal family was different. She had eaten taro when she was in Zuixianju, and the taste was incomparable to the tribute.
After finishing the taro, she broke the persimmon in half, giving half to Chu Pingsheng and half to herself.
“This is delicious too.”
"It's quite good."
Chu Pingsheng stuffed the last piece into his mouth: "But if I told you that it was poisoned, would you still eat it so happily?"
Toxic?
When she heard that it was poisonous, she quickly threw away the remaining dried persimmons, found a handkerchief, and spit out the pulp that had not yet been swallowed.
“You knew it was poisonous, why didn’t you tell me earlier?”
Chu Pingsheng shrugged: "If I told you in advance, how could I help you detoxify?"
Si Lili suddenly remembered the conversation about "car shock" when they were making out in the post house the night before yesterday. She would definitely not I agreed, but who knew that Mr. Chu was so evil that he even threatened to detoxify.
"You...you...there is the mission's motorcade behind you..."
"This is the most exciting."
"You...this...bastard!" ”
Chu Pingsheng threw her down in the carriage and said close to his face: "Is it possible... that you would rather be poisoned to death than let me help you detoxify?"
Si Lili raised his head suddenly and bit him. But he suddenly stopped in the middle of the movement, because he had never bitten it before, and he couldn't bite it at all.
“Don’t bite? Then it’s my turn.”
Chu Pingsheng stretched his hand downwards.
“Well…”
When he was young, after typing a small report but not getting a positive response from Fan Xian, Gundam returned to his original position full of dissatisfaction. He saw a minister from Honglu Temple looking intently at Chu Pingsheng's carriage. He also followed him for a long time and finally said: He came to a conclusion that made many people roll their eyes - "This carriage is shaking very badly, and the quality of the boards is worrying."
......
A few more days passed.
The convoy arrived in Cangzhou, already halfway into the Qi border. Fan Xian ordered the convoy to set up camp and rest, while the cooks and soldiers went to fetch water for cooking, while the others were free to move around.
Si Lili also wanted to get out of the car and get some air, but unexpectedly, he was grabbed by Chu Pingsheng as soon as he got up.
"The only time to take action is now. Once we enter Northern Qi, it will not be so convenient."
"Do it? What do you mean?"
"I know that there is something in the fruits that Wang Qinian has given us these days. What kind of poison was administered?"
Si Lili shook his head slightly.
Chu Pingsheng detoxified her every day these days. It was strange that she knew the effect of the poison Wang Qinian had administered.
"Although I don't know the name of this poison, what is certain is that it is a chronic poison that can take effect when a large amount of qi in the Dantian is mobilized to disrupt the movement of the qi. However, Sean did not use this kind of poison. Poison, is this poison a new product? And it’s so precious that Fei Jie is reluctant to give it to Sean.” You...you..."
Since Wang Qinian gave them a chronic poison that can disrupt the movement of Qi, the influence on her, a low-class female warrior, is not to say zero, but it is definitely Not strong.
It turns out that this guy was bluffing her just to... How can you say that word? Train her?
“Haha...”
Chu Pingsheng was about to speak when his expression suddenly changed, and the corners of his mouth became higher and higher: "I didn't expect... I didn't expect... things are getting more and more interesting."
"Interesting? What are you talking about?" For Si Lili, this was not interesting at all. How could it be interesting if he was fooled by him every day.
“Ku He is here.”
“Ku He?”
Hearing the name, Si Lili was stunned for a moment before he realized: “What did you say? Is Ku He, the great master of the Northern Qi Dynasty here?”
"Is there a second Ku He in this world?"
"The Grand Master also showed up..." Si Lili was shocked: "Is he here for you?"
< br>"So be it."
"Then your identity will be exposed?"
