Chapter 1419 (1/2)
Pingyang Hou a blink does not blink to look at the official language white, the eye is like a torch, the spirit is all around.
After sipping a mouthful of hot tea, he looked at the Marquis of Pingyang and asked slowly, ”do you dare to ask the Marquis whether he has the edict?”
It's a decree again! As soon as his face sank, he took a deep breath and immediately explained, ”the imperial edict has been robbed...” He clenched his fist and told Guan yubai about the bandits on the road. Then he said angrily, ”the bandits in southern Xinjiang are so rampant that the king and son of Zhennan are really responsible for the emperor's order and mismanagement, thus contributing to the bandit's arrogance. Therefore, his father and son also intend to shift responsibility...”
The more he said, the more angry he was. Thinking that he had to bow his head to the king and his son just now, a fire of humiliation kindled in his heart.
”I heard that Madame Fu and his party were robbed by bandits on their way to Luoyue city...”
When Houdun in Pingyang was silent, his face turned white.
At the beginning, Madame Fu was attacked by ”bandits” shortly after she left the capital. According to what he said just now, isn't it satirizing the emperor's poor governance that banditry is rampant around the capital
The Marquis of Pingyang coughed two times and said in a hurry: ”my Marquis was angry for a moment, but I lost my word. Don't be surprised, my good brother
With that, he picked up the tea cup and covered up his gaffe with the action of drinking tea, but his mind was more disordered.
He is Han Lingguan's confidant. Of course, he knows that the robbers who attacked Madame Fu are the instigators behind Han Lingguan In this way, he could not help but suspect that the gang who robbed kuilang were really robbers?
Do ordinary robbers dare to attack officers and soldiers?
The robbers were all very skillful, and they did not leave any clues. They were definitely well-trained.
Is it Zhennan Wang and his son However, if they were Zhennan Wang and his son, Nanjiang was the territory of Zhennan king and his son. They could have killed themselves and the three princesses together. Wouldn't it be more clean and tidy?
By contrast, maybe it's the one
The more he thought about it, the more he thought about it. Now Han Lingguan, Prince of Shunjun, has been angered by the emperor for cheating on Enke, and his power has been greatly reduced. He is the right man around Shun Jun Wang, who has won the trust of the emperor and has military power in his hand If Han lingfu, Prince of Gongjun, wants to use this to make the emperor blame himself and cut down his military power, it is not impossible!
Or, as for kuilang, maybe the person behind the scenes is Baiyue, or maybe, for example, the puppet king nuhar of Baiyue
Pingyang Hou had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but he could not reach a conclusion. The room was quiet for a moment.
The official language white looks at Pingyang Hou's changing eyes. His eyes are half down, and his dark eyes are deep and bottomless. He drank tea calmly, but also in silence.
In a moment, Pingyang Hou put down his tea cup and his expression had returned to normal. He asked tentatively, ”an Yihou, I don't know what the situation of Baiyue is now?” The military newspaper sent by Southern Xinjiang to Wangdu said that 100000 troops from southern Xinjiang were coming to Baiyue capital. Now that Xiao Yi is in Luoyue City, it is said that Baiyue has been captured?
With that, Pingyang Hou's eyebrows jumped and gritted his teeth: ”the Nanwang of that town is really an old fox...”
Just now, he tried to talk a few times, but the king of Zhennan was very secretive and vague. He seemed to answer, but he didn't say anything about the war in Baiyue.
It's also true that Xiao Yi's little fox is so rude to himself today. It's clearly that the old fox, Zhennan Wang, is supporting him behind his back! Otherwise, why did the king of Zhennan say nothing at that time and let Xiao Yi humiliate himself!
”It's a matter of military situation, so I can't talk nonsense...” He held his fist helplessly and said, ”Lord, on that day, the emperor personally gave me a decree to make it easy for me to do things in southern Xinjiang. However, concerning the military situation of Baiyue, he could only reply to the Emperor Now the Marquis has no imperial edict. Please forgive me for not violating the edict! Please forgive me. ”
The tone of the official language is gentle and elegant from the beginning to the end, but no matter how nice it is, the meaning in the words is still unwilling to cooperate.
The Marquis of Pingyang was obstructed for a moment. He was wrong because he didn't have the imperial edict. He knew that he should ask the emperor for a secret order. He could collect it personally. It would not be so
”Marquis Anyi, I am helpless now. The imperial edict and the third son-in-law were robbed by thieves. ” It is hard to avoid a trace of impatience in the words of the Marquis of Pingyang. ”Just imagine, if it was not for the emperor's will, how could this Marquis come to this wild land in southern Xinjiang?” He stayed well in Wangdu. Why did he come all the way to South Xinjiang to be humiliated by Zhennan Wang and his son?!
”Marquis, I believe in him. It's just that your life is like a mountain... ” Guan yubai comforted him. His knuckles tapped on the table beside him, as if he were pondering. Then he suggested, ”Lord, for now, we have to borrow troops from Zhennan king to find the thief who robbed the third son-in-law and the imperial edict as soon as possible. Since the thief robbed the third son-in-law instead of killing him on the spot, he must have something else to do, so that we can gain time...”
If the Marquis of Pingyang touched his short beard thoughtfully, yes, although the king of Zhennan agreed to send someone to find kuilang, but the southern Xinjiang army and Baiyue army are enemies. The generals in the army are afraid that kuilang will be cut by thousands of knives. Will they spare no effort to find someone for themselves?Pingyang Hou eyebrows light frown, until left Zhennan Wangfu, the whole person is still some soul.
The Duke of Pingyang was escorted to the post station in the city by several palace guards. The third princess had been impatient for a long time. As soon as she saw the prince of Pingyang finally arrived, she could not help complaining: ”Marquis, Zhennan palace really doesn't understand the rules. The prince of Zhennan knows clearly that Luoyue city has come to this palace, and she doesn't come to salute the palace. What's the meaning of the king of Zhennan sending his palace to the post station
The three princesses looked at the room of the post station with disgust. Although this is the room of the post station, how can the three princesses compare with the Imperial Palace and Princess mansion! She had thought that when she arrived at Luoyue City, the king of Zhennan would arrange a courtyard for her Princess in the palace. She didn't expect that they would neglect themselves so much!
”three princess a pressing first, a pressing matter of the moment is to rely on the town of southern town to find three son-in-law horses.” Pingyang Hou coaxed two words casually, but he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of anything wrong for a moment.
The third princess thought about it. If the king of Zhennan refused to help, with their manpower, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack in southern Xinjiang. It would be impossible to find kuilang's clues Although she doesn't care whether she is dead or alive, she is relaxed and comfortable when she dies. But now she is not in Wangdu. What should she do if she is so uncertain about her life and death?
Pingyang Hou comforted the third princess a few words, advised her to rest early, and then went back to her room with a lot of worries.
This night, pingyanghou almost couldn't sleep at night. Obviously, his body was extremely tired, but his heart seemed to be under a hill, heavy He also woke up several times from his shallow sleep, dreaming that when the people of the southern Xinjiang Army found kuilang, he was already a cold corpse, bleeding from his seven orifices.
In the next few days, the Marquis of Pingyang lived like a year. He went to Zhennan Wangfu several times in a row. He finally borrowed hundreds of troops from Zhennan king. Then he went out of the city to the place where kuilang was robbed, trying to find clues to him
Pingyang Hou was eager to leave the city, but he did not know that the man he was thinking of was in the dungeon of Bixiao hall at the moment.
”Well...”
His hands were tied behind him, and his mouth and eyes were covered. He struggled desperately, and his mouth made a sound of ”Yi Yi Wu Wu”.
All of a sudden, he heard a heavy ”creak” sound of opening the door, followed by several people's disorderly footsteps approaching him, and kuilang's body tensed up. The next moment, the black cloth on his eyes and mouth was untied, and his eyes were bright
He was in a small, narrow room, surrounded by yellow, only the people in front of him holding two torches in their hands, barely illuminating the surroundings.
In front of him stood four or five people. The two youths headed by him were so familiar. One was unruly and the other was quiet and far-reaching. They were both dragons and phoenixes among people.
At a glance, Kui Lang recognized it as -
Xiao Yi and Guan yubai!
Kui Lang's eyes were wide open and his heart was happy. He relaxed a lot and said, ”Xiao Shizi, you are here to save me!”
Since he was robbed from behind a few days ago, kuilang has blindfolded his eyes and blocked his mouth. He doesn't know what year this evening is. When the gangsters think of it, they give him something to eat. Unexpectedly, they ignore him, making him dizzy with hunger
As the days went by, kuilang expected Pingyang marquis to bring people to rescue him at first, but gradually he became desperate. He could not even confirm that he was still in southern Xinjiang Unexpectedly, it was Xiao Yi and Guan yubai who came to save himself.
At this time, the two soldiers moved to two positions. Xiao Yi casually lifted his robe and sat down. The official language was white, but he was not in a hurry. Like a noble young man, they were both quick and slow, but both were carefree. It was as if they were not in a humble room at the moment. The two outstanding young masters formed a great contrast with the simple environment.
”Kuilang, I haven't seen you for a long time. You don't look very good!”
Xiao Yi greets each other with a smile, but his words are not polite at all, with obvious irony.
I feel a little frown
Wait!
For a moment, he was like a lightning strike, and his mind flashed.
Is Xiao Yi not here to save himself
”It's you! Xiao Yi, you sent someone to take me away! ” Qui Lang blurted out in disbelief.
The king's son in the south of the town is really bold!
When this idea appeared in kuilang's mind, all doubts seemed to be taken for granted. Yes, this is southern Xinjiang. It's Xiao Yi's territory. I'm afraid Xiao Yi got the news when he and his party of Pingyang Hou entered the boundary of Southern Xinjiang What's more, it may have been as early as the moment they left Wangdu.
However, how can the official language white be here? Kui Lang looks at the official language white beside Xiao Yi, and his heart is full of doubts. Is it that the official language white also has a hand in this?!
”My son-in-law and the third son-in-law are old acquaintances. It is rare for the third son-in-law to come to southern Xinjiang. My son-in-law should do his best to be the host of the land.” Xiao Yi still looked at kuilang with a smile. His face did not change. Obviously, he had no intention of covering up at all.This understanding made kuilang's heart sink. At this time, he could not offend Xiao Yi. He had to smile and say, ”Xiao Shizi, a gentleman's word, a whip of a horse.”. You can rest assured that as long as I can get back to the throne of Baiyue, I will fulfill my promise... ” He could not tell whether he was a friend or an enemy at the moment. He could not speak his words freely. He could only show his sincerity.
