Chapter 8 Chapter 7 Surprise

In the inner hall, the atmosphere was somewhat strangely stagnant. Early this morning, Prince Chengde sent someone to invite his younger brother and younger siblings to drink tea. Prince Xueya looked at his wife, and Jin Bihui bit the corner of his lips tacitly: It has been two days, and Prince Chengde may take this opportunity to mention food, grass and Reinforcement thing. She just sat silently with her husband, her eyes sparkled. "It's getting colder and colder..." In the inner hall, the secret tree spinach fragrance is lingering. Prince Chengde did not exchange a few words with their husband and wife. , the prince suddenly murmured, "Wuchen woke up this morning and said he was not feeling well, probably because he caught a cold."

"The food and grass should be almost ready." However, before he could say another sentence, Jin Bihui frowned, and directly touched the core of the topic, "I received a letter from Fei Ge yesterday, and my father has persuaded Emperor Chang. Now The State of Xi is already recruiting troops, and the first batch of grain, grass and winter clothes have been sent along the canal from Zhencheng—everything will be fine, everyone can rest assured." Hearing such words, Prince Chengde didn't seem to be relieved, and exchanged glances with Taifu Xu behind him, and his eyes changed slightly.A little pondering, looking at the teacup in his hand, his face seemed a little puzzled and strange.

After a long time, Mrs. Xu bowed and asked the prince as if asking for instructions: "Food and grass is a big deal, who will meet the grain and grass raised by those businessmen?" The Yunqi tea made by the crown princess was green and clear, but Jin Bihui couldn't drink half of it when he looked at the tea. Thinking about it, the eldest grandson Wuchen was also afraid of embarrassment when he met him, so he simply excused himself from his illness.After a long time, she said suddenly: "Today, I went down the river from the north of the city to meet them." "Of course someone will do this kind of thing. My brother and sister are princesses now, so why bother to do it yourself?" Prince Chengde advised.

However, Jin Bihui shook his head with a half-smile: "No, those merchants owe me a debt, and others may not pay for it—don't treat me as a lady, Bihui is a famous 'Jin Wu', Hasn't the prince heard of it?" Prince Chengde was suddenly at a loss for words, he didn't know why the woman's words became so sharp again, he hesitated for a while.However, Mrs. Xu's eyes flashed with joy, and he blurted out, "Well... this, this is fine!" "But it's not good for you to go alone." Finally, Prince Xueya spoke and said the first sentence of the day.His eyes were on his wife, but the expression in his pupils was somewhat complicated.

Jin Bihui glanced at her husband and said calmly, "What's wrong? I know my own affairs." "Take some people to go with you." Prince Xueya's voice was gentle and calm, but it was equally unrefutable, "Come back early." Jin Bihui suddenly laughed, and looked at her husband: It turned out that he was not worried about her safety, but that he was afraid that she would never return and broke his promise to help. "Well, it's up to you." She suddenly felt a little discouraged, and said lightly, "Anyway, I'll leave in the afternoon."

Prince Chengde has been just listening—in fact, he has been listening to his seventh younger brother helping him arrange all important matters. Although Xue Ya always asks for his opinion, everyone knows that the prince must be fine. yes.Although he is a compatriot from the same mother, the seventh little prince is far superior to his elder brother in both martial arts and strategy. However, this time, Prince Chengde unexpectedly said: "Yes, it's better to bring some people there—siblings and sisters will take care of them if they encounter any inconvenience." The crown prince paused at this point, took a sip of tea, and glanced at Tai Tuo.But Xu Fuyan glanced at Prince Xueya, and interjected: "There is no more brave general in the army than the seventh brother, but the seventh brother can't leave without authorization--so, Vice General Shen was appointed as the food pressure officer this time. How about some elite soldiers and good generals to meet the food and grass that the younger brothers and sisters have brought? In this way, seventh brother, you can rest assured."

Prince Xueya was stunned for a moment——Shen Tiexin was his confidant and beloved general whom he single-handedly pulled up, so he was really relieved to let him go with Jin Bihui. ——Now, whether it is Ye City or the entire army, this woman must not be lost. After agreeing, Prince Xueya and the new princess walked out of the room. The new wind was very strong, and the military flags in the camp outside blew violently.This severe winter has always been difficult to survive. He suddenly sighed secretly: from the very beginning, he didn't look at her with a normal heart, did he?It was just a political transaction... At that time, he was prepared to give up his life in exchange for a promise from Uncle Jin Guo.However--

"It's true that I come from a humble background, I can't read and write, and I have no good nature—but, in this way, you think I have no brains?..." In a trance, the voice from last night rang in my ears.Under the cold moon, her jaw raised stubbornly, but tears welled up in her eyes, and she said proudly: "I don't want you anymore!" The shock he felt at that time was still in his heart, Yan Bai couldn't help turning his head to look at his wife who was walking aside, but Jin Bihui just walked indifferently and didn't look at him, but seemed to know that he was looking over, and suddenly said coldly: "Don't worry, I mean what I say." She paused for a moment, then suddenly sighed: "At least I'll go back to Guining after you get over this difficulty——At that time, I'll stay in Xi and never come back."

"Thank you." Yan Bai's eyes dimmed, and after a long time, he realized that he could only say these two words. "Forget it, one day husband and wife Bai Rien, it's nothing if I help you." Jin Bihui smiled suddenly, his snow-white teeth gleamed, and there was a kind of ostentatious beauty: "However, my father is very difficult to deal with... You have to be careful. I don't even know what he's thinking." Prince Xueya's heart trembled slightly, Uncle Jin Guo——yes, Uncle Jin Guo.Neptune blue whale. Recently, internal and external difficulties, just to overcome the immediate difficulties, he even has little time to think about the thoughts of this behind-the-scenes figure who really dominates the overall situation.

Jin Bihui sighed, narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Look, now that everything has been discussed, we can talk calmly, right?" She looked at the vast sky above Longshouyuan, and suddenly asked, "Strange, why didn't there be a meteor shower last night?" The sound of the horn from the south of the city was blown continuously, and it was loud and clear, and it was transmitted to the inner room of the Chinese military camp. "I didn't expect that female Jin Wu to come out of the city on her own initiative." Grand Tutor Xu Fuyan stroked the gray beard under his chin, and there was a secret smile in his eyes, "If you let her go, things will be much easier."

"What do you guys... want to do?" Behind the heavy brocade tent, a woman's voice sounded eagerly and weakly. The princess wanted to stand up, but her arms were so weak that she couldn't even lift the cloak hanging in front of her eyes. Tent, "What did you give me to drink? You, you want me under house arrest?" Xu Taifu didn't turn his head back, just sneered slightly: "Crown Princess, you still care about yourself now. Although the tigress endured what happened last night and didn't say anything, do you think the Crown Prince doesn't know?" Changsun Wuchen's already pale face turned even paler, his arms suddenly lost all strength, and he leaned heavily back into the brocade mattress, as if he had finally understood something, she said softly: "So... I understand, what happened last night is -" Xu Taifu suddenly smiled, holding his long beard in his hand, and said leisurely: "Yesterday, the prince said to the Seventh Princess: there will be a meteor shower on the Longshouyuan in the middle of the night. If you get up and wait in the garden, there will be a wonderful scene." The old man suddenly narrowed his eyes, but the look in his eyes was unpredictable, he shook his head and sighed: "Although the female Jinwu is powerful, she is still a child at heart." The Tai Fu paused, but shook his head in confusion: "No, no... If it was a child, how could she bear that tone? We expected that she would turn against the Seventh Prince on the spot." "What are you doing this for? Don't tell me...you want to sabotage the plan of Xi Kingdom to aid us at this moment?" Although she was shocked, the Crown Princess was a knowledgeable woman after all, and she calmed down in a short time. Because I drank the tea brought in the morning, I don’t know why I have a splitting headache, but Princess Changsun still calmly asked: "Chengde is a sensible person, and he will not spoil a big thing for a momentary affair—if this time Without foreign aid, Yecheng will be captured by the Fourth Emperor's army within a few days, and all stones will be destroyed by then..." Taifu Xu suddenly let out a sneer, and a cold light flickered in his falcon-like eyes: "Secret affair? Do you think the prince's current trouble is for that little personal affair?" He looked at the bare tree in the courtyard with his hands behind his back—it was already winter , was desolate, but the old man's tone was even colder: "Two years ago, the crown prince knew about the affair between you! Do you all think Chengde is a coward or a fool?" Changsun Wuchen was really stunned, unable to speak for a while. After all, he was talking about the students he taught, the Taifu smiled tacitly, turned around suddenly, and looked at the princess: "He has endured it for a long time! —— But Prince Xueya's reputation and ability in the army , no one can easily shake him. Chengde can only endure. But this time is different, if the prince does not preemptively strike, I am afraid the throne will be lost!" "Nonsense! You are bewitching the Lord—who will threaten the Crown Prince's throne?" The Crown Princess looked coldly at the Taifu—the confidant of the Prince Chengde, the military's think tank, and retorted, "Xueya, Xueya came to rescue the soldiers. , even at the expense of joining the Jin family!" When Xu Fuyan heard these words, he really burst into a "ha" laugh, fixedly looked at the princess, and nodded slowly: "Yes! It was because of him that he joined the Jin family! ——If it wasn't for him to join the Jin family , the crown prince is not in such a hurry to get rid of him." The Crown Princess stared at the Tai Tuo in a daze, unable to speak for a moment. "Prince Xueya married without warning, and getting married before the battle is simply an ulterior motive." Seeing that the crown princess was rarely puzzled, Xu Taifu finally smiled and said calmly, "Don't you think about it, what happened to Emperor Xi Guochang?" Sitting on today's throne?!—Sea King will marry a daughter for nothing? If there is a first time, there will be a second time!" "Pa", she grabbed the curtain with her fingers and tore off all the golden hooks on the head of the bed. The princess's face was as white as snow, and she looked at the scheming Taifu in shock, "You, you actually look at Xueya like this? Xueya is so dedicated You have assisted Chengde for eight years, and you don't care about yourself at all, you treat yourself like a villain—" "It's better for the princess to think about herself first." Taifu Xu smiled coldly, looking at the princess who was immobilized by the medicine, with a chilling look in his eyes, "From today onwards, you will be 'sick' ——The prince has endured you for a long time, today is the end!" However, Changsun Wuchen stood up again, and only asked: "What are you going to do to Xueya now... what are you going to do to Xueya?" Xu Fuyan stroked his long beard under his chin, his eyes flashed coldly a few times, he didn't speak for a long time, finally looked at the turbulent wind and clouds in the sky outside, and said coldly: "The Seventh Princess is out of the city, it's best - wait until you come back, will find out..." "His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince has died in battle and martyred the country!" His voice was as cold as ice and snow, he paused for a moment, and glanced at Changsun Wuchen: "Naturally, the Crown Princess was ill at first, and died of illness because of grief... Hehe, the Seventh Princess knew it well, I won't be surprised. Even if she knows, it doesn't matter...Yan Bai has always been sorry to her, and they are a bitter couple." "The plan I planned for the prince is pretty strict, right? Then—" the Tai Tuo finally sneered, and suddenly turned to look at the shocked face of the Crown Princess, "Then, the Prince will propose to the King of the Sea again, directly borrowing the power to come Pacify the world! No matter in terms of status or status, the crown prince is superior to Yan Bai." The Taifu put his hands behind his back, looked at the sky leisurely, and chuckled: "It's less than three days...but two days! After that female Jin Wu returns to the city, the sky will change." He paused, but his eyes became very strange: "It's just that we still don't know whose world it is!" "Brothers and sisters, be careful all the way here." By the canal, dozens of large ships were sailing, and the woman in red with tight hair tightened her armguards and was about to jump onto the bow when she heard the prince's gentle words behind her. Jin Bihui turned his head and grinned, but the smile was very forced.She nodded to the prince, but looked at her husband who was seeing him off, as if she hoped he could say something.However, Prince Xueya just looked at her, as if he didn't know what to say, and after a long time, he said: "Two days, go early and return early." She couldn't help but sneered - in the end, why don't you worry about her?So he sent his lieutenant Shen Tiexin to go back with her, and brought so many people from the left army.The matter of being named Liangcao is very important, and more people should be sent to escort her, but in the final analysis, it is better to prevent her from repenting, right? ... Ha, if she, Jin Bihui, wanted to repent, she would have thousands of troops, so what could she do? "In three days, the food and grass will arrive. Don't worry." However, not wanting to embarrass him, she still responded lightly.Prince Xueya nodded slightly, his eyes sparkled.Jin Bihui didn't look at him anymore, he clasped his fists at the crowd who were sending him off, and jumped onto the deck with his clothes on. The wind on Longshouyuan was so strong that the woman standing at the bow was dressed in red, like a red fire. The sail was full of wind, and as soon as the cable was untied, the boat quickly went down the current from the pier.Jin Bihui stood at the bow of the boat, but turned her head, no longer looking at the monarchs and ministers who were sending her off from the country, nor at her husband. However, when she turned her head and went down the river, she could vaguely hear the flute sound in her ears, which was far away and sad.Jin Bihui turned his head suddenly, and among the sails and flags, he saw a platform paved with wooden boards, quietly stretching out of the river, a river bank made of stones, and a lamp fluttering in the wind and rain—people standing across the river by the ferry, a nobleman in white was playing the flute, The sleeves are surging. Iron clothes are cold. The sound of the flute was as cold as water, and she suddenly felt an indescribable pain in her heart. She just wanted to cry, scold, and hit someone, but she couldn't tell the reason—— "Princess, the bow of the ship is very windy, how about going back to the cabin to rest?" Suddenly she heard someone talking in her ear, she turned her head and saw Yan Bai's lieutenant Shen Tiexin.There was concern in the eyes of this general who had been a soldier all his life, but the pungent princess suddenly raised her head and said coldly: "It's your turn to take care of it!" "As entrusted by His Royal Highness the Seventh Highness, I will take good care of the princess along the way." Shen Tiexin saw the sharp eyes of the woman in red, but he just smiled kindly and replied steadily. Jin Bihui sneered, but his eyes were stubborn: "Why does he care about me? Anyway, I'll send the food to Ye City in two days! ——Then Yangguan Road is on the single-plank bridge, don't bother me with wordy words!" Then, when Shen Tiexin was about to say something, Jin Bihui stopped him and turned his head, as if listening to something in the wind.Shen Tiexin listened together in surprise, but couldn't hear anything. "It's gone." Somewhat dejectedly, she murmured, and then walked off the deck.
