Chapter 53 Mantis Catching Cicadas
Qin Yunuan and Mu Qingyu looked at each other. Qin Yunuan knew that there were many enemies along the way with Leng Changxi, but he didn't expect that there were people in Xixia who dared to tare so blatantly. After thinking about it, there would be anyone besides that person?
"It's Jing Yuanchu." Qin Yunuan sought Mu Qingyu's reaction in a half-spective tone.
Mu Qingyu smiled gently and said naturally, "Otherwise? Who else will be there besides him?
"I don't quite understand one thing. Why can the thirteenth prince do so evil in the palace, and he has done so many unreasonable things? Why is the emperor still so lax to him?"
"Legray?" Mu Qingyu felt a little funny, but she also understood that people who did not know the true face of Jing Yuanchu, just like those ordinary people, were surprisingly good at the reputation of the thirteenth prince. "You just need to understand Jing Yuanchu with the thinking of your third prince. Unlike Sima Rui, Jing Yuanchu is more backboneless than him. More rogue and more disgusting.
As Mu Qingyu spoke, her face began to become extremely ugly, and her teeth began to tremble. Qin Yunuan was attracted by Mu Qingyu's unusual reaction. She observed Mu Qingyu's facial expression. After Mu Qingyu took a deep breath and tried to calm down, she softly said, "Princess, forgive Yu Nuan, Do you have any grudge against the thirteenth prince?
"It's more than a grudge." Mu Qingyu stared fiercely at the nothingness in front of him. The Shunwangfu warriors in front of him were dealing with the bodies of the assassins who were ambushed around him. Although this path was rarely visited, it would only be more troublesome if it was found.
"I can't wait to skin him and cramp him." Mu Qingyu, who had always been gentle, finished this vicious sentence. Outside, the maid with Mu Qingyu knocked on the carriages, which was also three times, but it was different from the frequency and length just now.
Then, the maid outside handed a note from the window. Mu Qingyu was not defensive against Qin Yunuan. Even if she opened it, she glanced at it and muttered to herself, "Has father and cousins have also entered the palace?"
"How about it?" Qin Yunuan asked with concern.
"It's not a big deal, Mrs. Leng. I'm glad that you can persuade the emperor's uncle to cooperate with you today, but this action is really too risky. Are you sure that I don't need to send some people to protect you at the banquet two days later?"
"I have Changxi, don't be afraid." Qin Yunuan took it for granted. Yes, Mu Qingyu sighed in his heart. Now Qin Yunuan is the person at the tip of Leng Changxi's heart. Leng Changxi is afraid that he would rather sacrifice his life than let people hurt Qin Yunuan a hair. What is she worrying about here?
The obstacles in front were removed. Mu Qingyu first sent Qin Yunuan back to the post hall. Qin Yunuan entered through the back door from an alley behind the post hall to avoid attracting attention. However, when he entered the alley, he found that a tall man in a sheepskin coat in front of him was sneaky in this alley, as if he was looking for it. What.
At this time, Qin Yunuan was helpless, and the alley went straight, and she could not call for help from others. Qin Yunuan slowly squatted down and buckled her fingertips into the soft sand. Seeing the man coming towards Qin Yunuan, Qin Yunuan looked carefully. There was a machete in the man's waist. This is the north. The machete commonly used by Di people, this person is from Beidi!
Just when the man was a few steps away from Qin Yunuan, the man's keen sensed that there was someone around him.
"Who is it?"
Qin Yunuan hid herself very well. She hid next to an abandoned oil barrel at the entrance of the alley, but she was still found by the man. It seemed that the man's martial arts skills were not bad. Qin Yunuan calmed down. She knew that the man was not good, not to mention the Beidi people. Seeing that the man was slowly approaching by the sunset, she When Qin Yunuan estimated that the man was only one step away from her, she dodged out and was ready to sprinkle the clenched sand directly on the man's eyes, but the swing stopped abruptly.
"Ceng Wu?" Qin Yunuan looked at the bearded man in front of her, whose face was haggard and his hair had not been taken care of for several days. He called out his name at the first time.
"Madam." Leng Wu on the opposite side was also very surprised. Since the incident in Beidi, he has followed him all the way from Beidi. He only knew that his master, Leng Changxi, will definitely come to Xixia, but he doesn't know when he will come back and where he will go when he comes. He just listened to the people on the street that there lived in the post hall wearing a mask every day. Weird, he came here to bang for luck, but he didn't expect to meet Qin Yunuan.
It began to snow outside, and the goose-haired snowflakes fell one after another. The outside of the house was cold. The charcoal fire had just been burned in the room, slowly driving away the cold winter.
The furnishings in the room are very simple. A screen, an Eight Immortal Table is in the east corner, a teapot and teacup on a pear-wood square table, and several brocade boxes are placed on the other table covered with rice paper. This is what Xing'er just sent, saying that the thirteenth prince's men admitted their mistake in the palace. He mistook Leng Changxi for an assassin, hoping that the eldest princess and Leng Changxi would not mind.
The eldest princess didn't glance at the pile of gifts. The 20 years in the Savage Valley made her physique cold. She snuggled up beside the brazier. Qin Yunuan put on a coat for the eldest princess and asked softly, "Is it still cold?"
The eldest princess turned around, and her eyes were clear and indifferent after being soaked by the water of the ice lake: "It was cold, but when I saw you, it was warm. I never thought that I could see my child in my life. Now Changxi still brings you to filial piety to me, and I have no regrets."
"Mother," Leng Changxi said anxiously, "you can't say such unlucky words."
"I thought you never believed this," the eldest princess looked at the grown-up son in front of her in a tender way. "I have heard a lot about you along the way, how to be brave and decisive, and how to survive adversally. I don't think people like my son will be superstitious."
"Superstition is not necessarily a letter," Leng Changxi smiled and said, "It's just that people who care about it will think more." After saying that, Leng Changxi leaned against the eldest princess and subconsciously looked at Qin Yunuan, who was leaning against the case to clean up the gifts.
Qin Yunuan casually looked at these so-called "compensation gifts" sent.
"Jing Yuanchu is willing to pay his capital this time," Qin Yunuan said, "Snow ginseng, Tianshan snow lotus, Dongling rosemary, these are all valuable things. However, he is too stupid or too confident to cover up things in the palace."
"He is too confident in his deployment," Leng Changxi said as he brought Qin Yunuan a cup of freshly brewed hot tea to warm his hands. "He asked Xing'er to send these things, not to apologize to us at all, let alone to cover up the fact that he raised forces in the palace. He was telling We, are already unscrupulous and fearless.
While talking, Xing'er's announcement came from outside, and the three people in the room immediately became alert. After all, Xing'er was from Jing Yuanchu, and she was also good at martial arts and had to guard against it.
"Son Leng, the coachman you are looking for is here." Xing'er immediately kowtowed on the door. Qin Yunuan opened the door, turned around and closed the door, so that Xing'er had no chance to look in her head.
"It's windy outside. The eldest princess has been sitting by the bed today and embroidered flowers. She caught a cold and is afraid of the wind pouring in. Let's talk about it outside." Xing'er didn't know that the eldest princess had gone out. Except in Jing Donghua's palace, the eldest princess entered the palace with Mu Qingyu, and then wore a human skin mask when she went out of the palace with Leng Changxi. Even Jing Yuanchu really thought that her previous speculation and reports were false, thinking that the eldest princess did not leave the post hall, but Leng Changxi and Qin Yu It's just to explore the way to the advanced palace. In this way, Jing Yuanchu seemed to feel that it was less difficult to do things.
Qin Yunuan looked at the thick-browed and big-eyed coachman behind Xing's and nodded, "This looks good and is very stable. The eldest princess has always been very picky in the carriage. If she is not good at driving, it will only upset the eldest princess's body. This one will be kept. His Royal Highness said that the palace banquet two days later will be long. The princess will go to see the emperor. At that time, let this servant drive the car.
"This..." Xing'er was a little embarrassed, because everything on that day was arranged by Jing Yuanchu, from the list of guests to the servants who drove the car, and there was no mistake at all.
"What? Is it that His Royal Highness wants to go back on what he promised?
"Of course not." Xing'er argued.
"That's all right," Qin Yunuan said, and said to the coachman, "Come in with me, and I'll tell you something."
The servant naturally followed Qin Yunuan into the room. As soon as he entered the room, he waited for the outer star to go far away. The servant knelt down to Leng Changxi and his voice trembled almost: "General, Leng Wu is back."
Yes, in order to make Leng Wu successfully enter the post hall, Qin Yunuan can be said to have spent a lot of effort. Leng Changxi looked at the comrade-in-arms who had fought side countless times, took a deep breath before supporting Leng Wudao: "You have worked hard all the way." In just a few words, it has been full of countless friendships.
After a comforting greeting, Leng Wu met the eldest princess again, and then mentioned that Leng Wu suddenly left Beidi.
"General, what happened in Savage Valley at the beginning? Why did such a large team say it was gone? How are you and your wife? Leng Wu held hot tea for many days. He hasn't eaten anything hot for many days.
"It's hard to say," Leng Changxi frowned. "However, if I hadn't infered a mistake, all people would have died in the Savage Valley, including Wanyansu." I still remember the collapse of the whole mountain, and it is difficult to survive.
"No," Leng Wu said firmly, "The fourth prince has returned to Beidi, which I saw with my own eyes."
