Chapter 181: Disguise(1/2)
Qiankunjiu bowed her head and followed her step by step. Under her calm and respectful appearance, her heart was already pounding.
This is clearly the place he is most familiar with since childhood, but now everything has become extremely unfamiliar. The three people closest to him are unconscious, the other one is gone, and the other is missing. Looking around, this huge palace is nothing but murderous intent, and the warmth of kinship is left.
Since the past, things in the world are impermanent, and people's hearts can even be predicted to be terrifying. He knows this truth, but now he has experienced it personally and knows how deep the helplessness is.
Chonglian Palace is the bedroom where Helian Lang’s mother is located. Today’s banquet is nominally acknowledging the support of the train, but Qiankunjiu knows that the real purpose is to take the opportunity to discuss other matters.
After three rounds of drinking, Helianlang said to the general: "The general is kind to Lang. Yuesu Festival is coming. Langte has prepared a gift for the general to express his feelings. He hopes that the general will not be disgusted. Xia Xi, go."
The train bowed and thanked him, "The eldest prince took great pains. Wouldn't I let go of the eldest prince again?" After saying that, he turned his head and said to Qiankunjiu, who was standing with his hands down, and said, "How can I bother the eldest prince's people, Che Chi, go with Xia Xi."
"yes."
There are five halls in Chonglian Palace. Helianlang stored the gifts in the main hall. From the banquet place to the main hall and then returned, it would take at least three cups of tea. If he really wanted to give the gift, he should have brought it in advance. If he put it so far, he might have deliberately sent him away. Qiankunjiu followed Xia Xi. If he remembered correctly, this person should be the confidant female official of Helianlang's mother, and he was very good at it.
Helianlang prepared a pair of red-brown golden sand heart-protecting clothes. Ordinary weapons on his body cannot be damaged at all. It is difficult to find a few of this item in the entire Tianji. As the leader of the army, Helianlang gave it to the train to the train with all his heart.
Qiankunjiu came out of the main hall with Xia Xi's gift. Whether it was intentional or unintentional, Xia Xi slowed down. Qiankunjiu pretended not to see it, but still maintained the previous pace. After walking a few steps, he arrived in front of Xia Xi.
When the two walked to a secluded corridor, Xia Xi looked around and saw that there was no one around, quickly slid back and stretched out his palm to attack the empty door of Qiankun wine vest.
Qiankunjiu was shocked, not sure that her move was just for temptation or that she really wanted her life. The palm wind was so anxious that he could not tolerate him thinking too much. Qiankunjiu gritted his teeth, took the risk and pretended not to know, and turned around with suspicion.
Half a foot away, Jinli rushed towards him. Qiankunjiu stood there as if she was scared and was stunned, watching his hands magnify in front of him without knowing to dodge.
Xia Xi's palm wind suddenly deviated from the direction when it was only half an inch away from his face. "Sorry, the wind blew past a leaf just now. I thought it was something." Xia Xi explained with a smile.
Are you lying? Are you stupid or am I stupid? Are you blind or are you blind? Qiankun murmured, and he had to pretend to be scared and lost. He threw the gifts in his hand, tremblingly leaned back, and sat on the ground, without forgetting to make a few grunts as expected.
The poison on his body was not clear, and he persisted until this time his face was extremely pale, just in time to respond to the frightened. Xia Xi stepped forward and apologized while helping him up, "Xia Xi is rude, it doesn't matter if Lord Che."
"No...it doesn't matter..." Qiankunjiu said as if he was still in fear. Oh my god, when I settled down, I have to let you kneel down and lick my feet! I am also a poor person, and Qiankunjiu scolded her in her heart without any ambiguity.
"What kind of adults or not? The girl has killed the slave." Qiankunjiu got up from the ground and hid behind her. "The general is still waiting for the slave to go back, and the slave will leave first."
"Please please, Lord Che." Xia Xi tried it without a doubt, and guided the way from the front obediently.
When the two went back, Helianlang glanced at Xia Xi first, "Why have you been there for so long to get a gift? Let the general wait."
"Hey, what's the eldest prince talking about?" The train line didn't care about it and said generously: "It's the train's honor to be favored by the eldest prince. If you don't have to worry about the evening when you have a good meal, how can the train care about this moment?"
"Lang only knows that the general uses troops on the battlefield as a god, but he doesn't expect that he is so funny." Helian Lang slapped his hands.
At this time, the train saw Qiankun Wine, and his clothes were covered with trash on his back. How embarrassed it was, he couldn't help but frown, "You servant, you have just walked a few steps, why is your face so pale?"
Qiankunjiu knelt down in panic, "It's useless for subordinates, please punish the general."
My palace, don't you really kneel down. When the train sucked his calves, he almost stood up from the chair, and he was calm on his face. He looked at Qiankunjiu and was embarrassed. When he saw Xia Xi dodging his eyes, he couldn't help but feel a little displeasure on his face, "Your Highness, you maid, you will not bully your life."
The train guardians were all known to everyone in the court, and Helianlang smiled, "Xia Xi?"
Xia Xi knelt down quickly and said the same words more smoothly. The tone of the train was quite polite, and there was already a little disappointment and anger on his face. "Your Highness, I will divide half of the military talismans in my hand, which is enough to show sincerity. If Your Highness doesn't believe in the train, it's better to make a decision. The train will never bother you, and the agreement between you and me will not reveal a word to go out."
He was a strong man in both dynasties and the emperor personally gave the name of "uncle", even Helianlang wanted to give in three points. Hearing this, Helianlang lowered his face, "Xia Xi, why don't you take Che Chi to the back hall to rest for a while?"
"Yes." Xia Xi took the order and came over to lead Che Chi to follow him.
Xia Xi hurriedly went up to invite Qiankun wine. The latter pretended to be frightened and refused twice. Seeing that the general was cold and silent, Helian Lang was not displeased. Then he bowed to the two and followed Xia Xi.
In fact, he was not injured, but he was a little uncomfortable with his bones shrinking. He wanted to find a place where no one was, but he didn't expect that Cheng Yaojin came out halfway and blocked his way.
"How is the second prince?" Xia Xi bowed his head and saluted. Qiankunjiu secretly cheered up in her heart, but she didn't expect to meet him here.
When Helian Yue saw her, a trace of yin and sharp eyes suddenly passed through his eyes. Seeing a strange servant following him, he stepped forward and asked, "Who is this?"
Xia Xidao: "Report to the Second Highness, this is the personal slave of the general in the train, named Che Chi."
When Helian Yue heard that he was the servant of the train, a hint of hatred suddenly flashed across his face, and then he smiled politely, as if the spring breeze had turned into water. He walked to Qiankunjiu a few steps and looked at him from a high point, "It turned out to be the servant of the general. The general is the mainstay of the heavenly throne. I will come and admire him quickly."
He said he was admiration, but he could not hear any respect in his tone. Qiankunjiu bowed, "Thank you for your kindness, I will convey your highness's wishes to the general."
Helian Yue seemed to be very helpful, and took a small step forward and slowed down his speech. "The name Che Chi... I think it is very clever to obtain..."
Qiankunjiu's heart was trembling for a moment, and her expression did not change. "Thank you for your praise. General saved the slave in Chihe, and then gave him a name to him."
"Um..." Helianyue pretended to behave, "So that's it." Suddenly, the tone changed, "I heard that the general is looking for the whereabouts of the princess recently. Since you are Che Chi's personal servant, do you know where the princess is now?"
Both forces are looking for Shen Ying's whereabouts, either taking her help for her or taking the opportunity to get rid of it. The train now pretends to support Helianlang, so there is no need to quietly search for people. But I don't know what Helianyue's intention was to suddenly raise this topic.
Qiankunjiu shook her head, "I don't know much about the general's affairs."
"I didn't find it, right?" Helian Yue didn't know when, but there was a bit of unpredictable smile on the corner of his lips, and his voice was light, "What a coincidence, I know where she is..."
The blood of Qiankun Wine instantly solidified.
...
"You've been worried all these days. This is how he told you?" Yan Xun smashed his mouth, and seemed to be a little unbelievable. "He has guessed your identity? It's impossible..."
Since he came back, Qiankun Wine has never been exposed. Even in the general's mansion, he rarely goes out and almost becomes a white-haired woman. Helian Yue has a sharp eye and golden eyes, and he can't think of him as Qiankun Wine as soon as he sees a stranger.
Qiankunjiu had already calmed down at this time, "Not necessarily. Helianyue knew that I was back, but he couldn't find it everywhere, and it was possible that there were soldiers in the grass and trees. But Shen Ying..." Speaking of his sister, Qiankunjiu rubbed his eyebrows anxiously, "Helianyue said it seriously, I was only worried that he would find Ying first and hide her in the palace."
The train sighed, "Your Highness's face looked so ugly when he came back. I thought Xia Xi was hurting you." I thought about the experience of Qiankunjiu talking again and became scared again, "Helian Yue was suspicious by nature, and this move was not accurate for temptation. Fortunately, Your Highness held back from him, otherwise he would have really been in his way."
"Although I held it back, it's hard to guarantee that he would believe it easily." Qiankunjiu said lightly. Helian Yue could see through this person, "But Ying, I really don't dare to use her as a bet. Brother Yan, I'll bother you again..."
Helianyue said that finding Shen Ying was probably a test, but no matter whether Helianyue said it was true or false, he could not take it lightly. During this period, the train was looking for Shen Ying for the eldest prince, but in fact, it was a secret cover for Yanxun.
Since Li Qianfan's message, Yan Xun went out early and returned late these days, and the people sent out to travel around various vassal states of Tianji and searched for Shen Ying. As a result, after searching all the Tianji, he did not even fall into the palace. He could only come to a conclusion-Shen Ying had never come back.
Yan Xun can trust his own ability to find people and find out about it. He is not too eager to explain it to Qiankunjiu. The latter's "Chuan" character on the eyebrows is Qian, and he stroking his hands and praised him, "Brother Yan is reliable! When I find Ying, I will be a matchmaker myself and marry her to you!" To this day, if Qiankunjiu can no longer see that Yan Xun's thoughts about Shen Ying, he is simply blind.
There was a sound of pigeons outside the door, and Yan Xun raised his legs and left, leaving a sentence: "You have to find it and talk about it."
"You are not only heart at all?" Qiankunjiu asked anxiously, in return with a sneer. How could he not be able to see him as a careless look? He jumped out and yelled: "Hey, you have no conscience. I don't agree with your marriage! I don't agree!"
Yan Xun had already left without shadow, Qiankun's suffocating voice came vaguely, and the indifferent smile on the corner of his lips gradually changed. He looked at a lonely cloud in the sky and murmured: "Crazy girl, where are you..."
Qiankunjiu stretched his neck and waited for a long time but didn't hear Yan Xun reply. He asked worriedly: "Uncle Fengliu, do you think this kid really likes my girl..."
The train said: "I am lying on the battlefield, and I dare not be proud of anything else, but I dare to boast about two skills."
"What kung fu?" Qiankun wine was very excited.
"First, use troops, second, identify people."
The meaning of the words "Cankun Wine" is that it is a tragic life, with few defeats, and there is no need to say anything about military use. As for identifying people... on the battlefield, who should be the leader and who will be sent to spy on military affairs. If you lose, you will inevitably be tortured as a prisoner. Whoever has a strict mouth and a high perseverance needs to be judged and considered in advance. After so many years of tempering, the train has already developed a pair of golden eyes.
Seeing Qiankunjiu come over, the train smiled and said, "At first he said he wanted to escort your highness, and now you are safe in the mansion. He is also considered to have fulfilled his merits. Later, he had an excuse to find his parents' whereabouts and refuse to leave. According to my husband, based on his ability, why do you need to take action personally to find the whereabouts of his parents?"
Qiankunjiu has seen the Yan family's skill in searching for people and searching for information, but only a handful of people can get such praise from the train. At this time, I can't believe it, "Really?"
The train nodded meaningfully, "To be honest, when you first came back, I was suspicious of him and sent many people to follow his whereabouts in private."
This big business who is good at secretly investigating others is also secretly investigating. Qiankun wine suddenly became interested and couldn't wait to know the result.
The train smiled helplessly, "Your Highness, don't look at his carefree appearance, you know it clearly. There were many people sent out at that time, but they got nothing. The reason why he is amazing is that he wants my husband's people to follow, and my husband's people will follow. If you want to be followed, my husband's people will not do anything about it."
This is amazing, "That's not my uncle's subordinate, how can I still obey his command?"
"It's right that I am my husband. He knew that someone was following him secretly, but he didn't avoid it. He did whatever he should do. When he didn't want to be followed, he would just evaporate like the world's eyes, and he would disappear if he couldn't say it. My husband's man was aimlessly searching for a long time, and he plunged in and continued to swagger across the market. No one knew where he came from. Just this, not to mention the capital of the Tianji King, or the palace of my Tianji, it would be easy to stop him." Speaking of this, the train sighed. If such a person was placed under his command, it would be like a tiger with wings. Unfortunately, Yan Xun was not restrained.
Qiankunjiu touched his chin and stared at the door. It seemed that this "News Communication" not only knew how to spend money to train subordinates, but also had real skills. A smile gradually appeared on his face, which fell into the train's eyes, shocking the old general in a cold sweat.
He was so familiar with this look, and he was proud of his old-fashioned kindness. Whenever he found a satisfied son-in-law for his daughter, he would show such a look, thinking of an old and cunning old father...
But in contrast, as an outsider, the train has another worry in his heart.
One is Princess Tianji and the other is the Zhongzhou Imperial Shang. The identities of the two are very different. The most important thing is that this person's mind is definitely not something in the pool. It is still a matter of whether he is willing to marry into Tianji as his son-in-law.
The ancestor of Tianji once set rules that those who are son-in-laws are not allowed to enter the court or lead the army. In this way, if you marry into the royal family, you only have the title of son-in-law, but you are still inferior to the princess in the end. Judging from Yan Xun's personality, you don't care much about who is superior to whom, but if you don't let him do things and be raised by the princess all day long and wait for death, you will definitely not want to.
In the days to come, Qiankunjiu was just like an old father-in-law who dealt with Yan Xun like a son-in-law. He even spoke in an old tone, but it made Yan Xun's back full of goose bumps, and he didn't remember the hatred. He frequently threw his eyes at the train for help, but the old fox chose him cleanly and pretended not to see him.
Yan Xun was really unable to do so, so he finally found a topic to attract Qiankunjiu's attention.
"I have learned a lot of news about the siege of the vassal state siege this time. Are you interested in listening?"
When it comes to serious matters, the laughing expressions on both of them both became serious.
...
It was late at night and people were silent. The sky was broken through with a "deep" sound. A feather sword quietly pierced through the dark night color of ink, passing through the flower paper between the window lattices, and nailed into the head of the bed.
The closed eyes suddenly opened, and the brown eyes were extremely clear and calm in the darkness. Even if the arrow was pressing against his ears at this moment, there was no panic, as if he had just woken up naturally.
Li Qianfan lazily reached out and touched the feather arrow in his ear. With a clever effort, the arrow body separated from the arrow. He put the arrow body aside, and did not get up and light the light. He quietly took out the things inside and opened them, put them in the palm of his hand, and groped carefully.
After a while, a trace of clarity appeared on the corner of Li Qianfan's lips. He put his palms together and twisted them gently for a few times, and the objects in his palm turned into ashes and powder.
Yan Xun, this guy, replied so slowly, even thought he was just chasing the woman and forgot about his business.
It seems that Dijon is not as clean as he is on the face.
...
"A few days ago, Qianfan wrote to me to check the carbon wood trading situation of these vassal states that attacked Tianji. What do you think?" Yan Xun's index finger and middle finger were holding a piece of paper, and shook it in front of Qiankun wine and the train.
The two looked at each other and the train said, "Please ask Mr. Yan to make a clear statement."
Yan Xun stood up and walked a few steps with his hands behind his back. "Tianji was besieged by a group of vassal states, and only one Dijon held his troops. Not only that, Dijon also showed unprecedented awareness, as if he didn't know about this. Qianfan found in Dijon that his daily carbon use increased significantly, and iron tools were not as close to the shortage as Central China, but there was no increase."
Speaking of this, Qiankun Wine and the Flight Train were already answering, so I just suppressed it for the time being and waited for him to say it out.
To be continued...
