The next morning, when Yuan Shuangqing got up, he found that the general's eyes were still swollen, but at least he could see a gap. He became even more reticent, sitting with his head down and eating steamed buns.
Dongyin ate the steamed buns, saw that his face was deformed by the lining, endured it, and when the general got up to leave, he couldn't help but burst out laughing, and then hurriedly held back.
The general paused when he heard this, walked to the horse with his head down, pulled up the reins, and patted the horse's back gently.
Looking at his back, Dongyin felt a little sad for no reason, and said in a low voice, "I'm probably crazy, why do I feel a little pitiful for him?"
Zhuge Kao stared and said: "Miss Dongyin, you can't be soft-hearted, kindness to the enemy is cruelty to yourself."
Yuan Shuangqing smiled when she heard the words, tore off a piece of steamed bun and put it in her mouth, appearing to be preoccupied again.
Two days later, the weather became colder and colder, until all the clothes in the package could not completely resist the coldness.When passing a small town, the carriage stopped on the side of the road to rest for half an hour, and then stretched out a rough hand from the outside, on which were three thick suede garments.
The general whispered outside: "We are almost at our destination, this place is colder than the winter in the south, you should use this first."
The three of them took their clothes and put them on, and looked at each other, talking less frequently. Although they were mentally prepared, they were still very nervous.
Unknown places, unknown people, unknown dangers.
Everything unknown is actually scary.
On the top of the snow-capped mountain, there is a huge basin, surrounded by wind and snow, only the basin is still standing there dutifully like an old pine tree.
There is a group of troops stationed in the only place where they can live in this wind and snow.
The only yellow tent with a huge dragon printed on it is the most obvious. A soldier walked over quickly in the distance, knelt in front of the tent, and the black cloak and hat were covered with snow: "Report! General Ao is back!"
It was quiet inside for a while, and suddenly the curtain of the tent was lifted, and a handsome young girl in a black mink fur coat walked out from inside. The soldier's face was respectful, and his head drooped even more, fearing to disturb the people inside.
The girl ordered: "Let General Ao bring the people in directly, and the rest will avoid them."
"Yes."
After receiving the order, the soldiers turned around and left. The other soldiers guarding outside the tent also spread to the outside, away from the tent.
Not long after, I saw General Ao wearing the same black cloak as the soldiers, and bringing three people wrapped in zongzi with their hands tied coming from the white snow. The girl stopped them outside the tent, and first ordered Yuan Shuangqing and Dong Yin's dumb acupoint, however, regarded Zhuge Kao as nothing, and then looked at the general with concern in his smile: "What's wrong with General Ao's eyes?"
"It doesn't matter," the general smiled back, put down his hat, knelt and kowtowed inside, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, fortunately, my humble minister did not disgrace his life, and has already brought him here."
As soon as the words fell, a clear and clear boy's voice came from inside: "The general is tired. This trip is really hard. Let's go down and rest first, and we will talk in the evening."
emperor?Yuan Shuangqing slightly raised her willow eyebrows, and looked at Dongyin silently, Zhuge Kao also opened her mouth, there was a lot of doubt in her eyes.
The emperor currently sitting in Chang'an is the King of Hanzhong, and in this world, the second person who can be called the emperor can only be...
Qi Ai Emperor Zhu Xi.
Yuan Shuangqing frowned, feeling even more puzzled. She thought she was studying in the mountains, and she had just left the mountain. No one knew her name. How could she be valued by Zhu Xi?
"Yes." The general bowed politely, and looked at Yuan Shuangqing before stepping back. He seemed to have something to say, but he stopped talking. Yuan Shuangqing was so focused on other things that he didn't notice him.
The general whispered, "My name is Ao Zhan."
His voice is lower than that of ordinary men, and he speaks very slowly when he speaks softly. It is very windy and snowy outside, and the consciousness of the frozen people is half a minute slower than usual. When Yuan Shuangqing reacted, Ao Zhan had already replaced the black cloak Wear it on your head and walk a few feet away.
The delicate girl was always smiling, and after Ao Zhan left, she stepped forward and opened the curtain, not as quick as when they touched their dumb acupoints just now, and said respectfully: "Please come in, my majesty has been waiting for many days."
She smiled again, looked at Zhuge Kao, and said slowly: "However, this young man has to stay."
On weekdays, Zhuge Kao could still speak and act freely, but since he knew that it was likely to be Emperor Qi Ai, even if he hadn't been acupointed, he lost his voice temporarily, so he didn't refute the girl's meaning at all, and stood obediently.
Yuan Shuangqing sniffed and looked inside, only to see bright yellow inside, because compared with the white outside, the color difference is too big, which makes people's eyes very uncomfortable.Yuan Shuangqing couldn't help narrowing her eyes.
In the middle of the bright yellow, sitting a young man with his head down reading a book, wearing a silver-white armor with a yellow lining and a jade crown on his head. Judging from the only visible jaw, he should be a handsome man.
The animal stoves on both sides were burning with incense, and the smoke of sandalwood lingered around him, making him feel quite unreal.
What is supposed to come always comes, Yuan Shuangqing took a deep breath, and took the lead to step in, suddenly felt that her sleeves were being grabbed, and looked back, but it turned out to be Dongyin, looking at the person sitting inside with clear eyes , her eyes showed unbelievable and deep panic, if she hadn't been tapped at the Ya point, she would have screamed out.
Yuan Shuangqing was even more suspicious, and stood there without taking another half step.
The young emperor put down the book, raised his head, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, reaching deep into his eyes.
He said, "Be safe."
Yuan Shuangqing saw the young man's face clearly, and immediately opened her eyes wide. Only then did she understand why Dongyin made that expression.
This emperor... turned out to be Zhu'er.
Maybe, it should be her.
The emperor is a woman?Is it Pearl? !
This is probably the most mysterious thing in the world...
Yuan Shuangqing stood there for a long time, her legs were as heavy as lead. She couldn't be sure that it was Zhu'er who had been with her for two months, but she was clearly Zhu'er's face. If she wasn't Zhu'er, so what? Can know them and such familiar greetings?
During these twists and turns, she had already thought of several more acceptable possibilities: Maybe the emperor refused to show his face, so Zhu Er pretended to be him?Maybe...Zhu'er has already threatened the emperor and pretended to be the emperor herself?
The emperor said: "I know the doubts in your hearts now, don't worry, I will talk to you slowly later."
As soon as the emperor said this, the curtain behind Yuan Shuangqing was lowered, and the girl left the place with Zhuge Kao in silence.
The emperor got down from his seat and came over to untie them himself, showing no signs of defense.
Yuan Shuangqing observed Zhu Xi closely, and only then could she be sure that this was Zhu'er.
Although her back is straight now, she is not as hunchbacked as she was when she was in women's clothing, and her smile is shallow and soothing now, and she is not as saucy as she was when she was Pearl.However, Yuan Shuangqing was almost sure immediately that this was Zhu'er.
Why?Yuan Shuangqing really wanted to ask, but she was acupointed at the Ya point, so she could only look at her with scrutiny. At the same time, Dongyin also watched silently. Both of them desperately wanted an answer so that they could get closer to the truth. .
The emperor untied the rope for them, and untied the Ya acupuncture point for them, took two steps back, and found the most comfortable distance for conversation with each other, and said: "The acupuncture point is just to keep you from screaming, so as not to alarm others, especially in winter. Silver, your voice is the loudest."
The emperor looked at Dongyin and smiled.
But Dongyin couldn't laugh, and asked hoarsely after a while: "Are you really Zhu'er?"
The emperor was silent for a moment, then said calmly: "Yes, I am Zhu'er, and I am also the emperor of Daqi, Zhu Xi."
Yuan Shuangqing said: "So... the emperor of Daqi is a woman?"
"Yes, I am indeed a woman."
"Then you were injured because you were hunted down by the current emperor?"
"...Yes," the emperor knew everything and didn't hide anything: "When I was evacuating, I got separated from the queen and the imperial guards, and had to deviate from the direction of escape, so I ran into you by mistake."
Yuan Shuangqing murmured: "Zhuer...Zhu...It really is so."
Dongyin still didn't understand: "But, the emperor is a woman...don't they all know?"
"There are not many people who know. Only the maid who is closest to me, of course there are two more of you now," Zhu Xi pointed to the chair next to them and let them sit, but the two of them didn't move, so Zhu Xi didn't Reluctantly, he smiled and continued: "As for why Emperor Daqi is a woman, this is related to some secrets of the royal family, so I won't reveal it."
Yuan Shuangqing suddenly became vigilant, and said directly: "Why did you let us know?"
Zhu Xi said, "Why don't you know?"
Yuan Shuangqing's face became paler and paler.It’s okay not to know, but of course there will be big problems if you know. There are many things in this world, it’s better not to know than to know.Did Zhu Xi bring them here just to take the initiative to reveal her own identity?I'm afraid there is fraud in this.
Zhu Xi has been guessing people's hearts almost every day during these years in politics. Of course, she can see what Yuan Shuangqing is thinking. She knows that there is no trust between them, but she doesn't expect too much.The emperor turned his back, sat on the seat, and said softly: "This country can only be Daqi's country, I can't let it be ruined in my hands, but now I have encountered some obstacles, and the progress of the march There can be no further delay."
"Do you want us to do things for you? But I don't know how to fight, and I don't have the ability to govern..."
"I don't lack talents for war, what I lack is money."
Zhu Xi interrupted her, leaned on the back of the chair, and narrowed his eyes lazily.
Yuan Shuangqing was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said, "You want money?"
"If you have money, you will have military pay, and if you have money, you will have food and grass. I used to be the richest person in the world, but now I have to worry about money." The emperor sighed and said in a low voice: "Shuangqing, you Help me."
From the moment Zhu Xi came in and called himself Zhen, the two of them are now talking as equals.
Yuan Shuangqing is not a person who doesn't know what to do, she clearly realizes that the person above is no longer Zhu'er, but Emperor Daqi.You must accept the emperor's overtures. If you resist, it will be a catastrophe.
Yuan Shuangqing could only compromise.
"how can I help you?"
"To the south of this mountain, there is a Ksitigarbha tomb." Zhu Xi leaned forward, his pupils constricted suddenly, "I want you to lead the soldiers to the bottom of the tomb."
"But I'm a celestial master, not a grave robber."
"You don't have to worry about this, someone will take you down, you just need to break through this last hurdle."
That being the case, Yuan Shuangqing has nothing to say, she can only nod her head and agree: "I have one more request, the young man just met me once, I hope you let him go, and Dongyin, you want Take good care of her."
"Young master..." Dongyin choked up a little.
The emperor couldn't help laughing: "Why are you doing this? This is not life and death."
Dongyin glared at her.
Maybe it's because she's used to it. After the identity change, she didn't think there was anything wrong with being so rude, but when she remembered the identity of the other party, she felt sympathetic.
The emperor didn't care about it, but smiled more and more happily: "Don't worry, I won't treat Dongyin badly. As for the man named Zhuge, Ao Zhan also mentioned it in the letter sent by him. Since he is also a celestial master and his skills are not bad, It’s better to accompany you to the tomb, don’t worry, we lost a lot of people in the underground palace, and the organs have basically failed, in fact, it’s only a small step.”
Dongyin ate the steamed buns, saw that his face was deformed by the lining, endured it, and when the general got up to leave, he couldn't help but burst out laughing, and then hurriedly held back.
The general paused when he heard this, walked to the horse with his head down, pulled up the reins, and patted the horse's back gently.
Looking at his back, Dongyin felt a little sad for no reason, and said in a low voice, "I'm probably crazy, why do I feel a little pitiful for him?"
Zhuge Kao stared and said: "Miss Dongyin, you can't be soft-hearted, kindness to the enemy is cruelty to yourself."
Yuan Shuangqing smiled when she heard the words, tore off a piece of steamed bun and put it in her mouth, appearing to be preoccupied again.
