marry a monk

Chapter 5

Andu Liuqing played with Jiang Xia, even though she didn't sing well, she was in high spirits.After tossing like this all night, his limbs were already weak and exhausted.While everyone was taking off their makeup, he fell into a chair and fell asleep.

When I woke up, it was already dawn, the crowd had already dispersed, and the surroundings were quiet: "Where are the princes and the others?" He opened his hazy eyes, grabbed a young servant and asked.

"What kind of prince, I don't know." The servant looked confused.

"It's the young master who keeps a straight face and smiles casually." Antu Liuqing described.

"I haven't seen it before." The boy replied in a condescending manner.

"Where's Jiang Xia, the beauty who sang with me, where is she?" Andu Liuqing continued to ask.

"Backstage." The servant replied.

Staggering to the backstage, he saw a handsome young man arranging clothes and props. He looked familiar, grabbed him and asked, "Where is Jiang Xia? Did you see him? Where did he go?"

Seeing his anxious expression and tone, the young man widened his eyes and looked puzzled: "Are you looking for me?"

"No, I'm looking for Jiang Xia, have you seen him?" Andu Liuqing repeated.

"I am Jiang Xia." The young man had a smile on his face: "The Jiang Xia who sang with you."

"You are Jiang Xia?" Andu Liuqing looked at him with disbelief: "You are not, she is clearly a beautiful girl."

Jiang Xia laughed silently. There is a lack of female actresses in the troupe. In order not to affect the singing, he has been performing reverse roles in the troupe. He has bright eyes and is handsome as jade, and he has no sense of disobedience in wearing women's clothing. This probably caused a misunderstanding.

"I am Jiang Xia, the girl in the costume you saw is me." Jiang Xia reiterated.

"You are Jiang Xia???" Andu Liuqing's face was red and blue, and he could not find a hole to get in.

"You are an upright man, what are you doing wearing a female costume all day long?" Andu Liuqing shook his sleeves and walked away with a look of annoyance.

Jiang Xia with an innocent face is left, did I provoke you by wearing women's clothes?

Jiang Xia is from southern Xinjiang, and her ancestors made a living by singing operas. Half a year ago, there was a severe drought in southern Xinjiang, and there was no harvest. There were mourners everywhere, and the people were in dire straits. It was difficult to make a living by singing operas. She had no choice but to take a group of opera troupes to wander while singing, and finally arrived in the capital of God. .

After finally gaining a firm foothold in Shendu, relying on his singing and hard work, he made a name for himself. He was invited by the people of Yudu Shrine to sing an opera. He said it was the birthday of the prince in the palace. husband.Unexpectedly, when he was about to appear on the stage, Pang Hong, his partner Xiaosheng, disappeared, which led to Andu Liuqing's nonsense.

However, this King Andu is really a handsome man, with a heroic bearing and heroic aura.Jiang Xia thought of the scene where he appeared, and laughed silently.

Then I thought of my father, who passed away two years ago, and my stepmother was in charge of the family's money. On his 15th birthday, the stepmother gave him some beautifully packed boxes with a smile and said that he could take them away.

There was a burst of joy in my heart, my stepmother hadn't treated him well for more than ten years, so it was rare to give him a birthday present this time.

He happily opened the boxes and found that they were all empty. He looked at his stepmother suspiciously: "Er Niang, why are these boxes empty?"

"Yeah, you are 15 years older, go and pack your things and get out of this house." The stepmother unceremoniously kicked him out of the house.

Penniless Jiang Xia is homeless. Fortunately, his father left behind a theater troupe. He grew up in a theater troupe. The old people in the theater troupe were reluctant to bear him. Because the theater troupe lacked female roles, he provoked his father's burden and has been acting in disguise as a woman.

"Who are you thinking of? You're so preoccupied." A male voice came from behind, it was his partner Pang Hong.Seeing Pang Hong, Jiang Xia couldn't help being angry, and wanted to hit him with a raised hand.

"Fortunately, it's time for the show, where did you go? Where can I go to find Wu Sheng temporarily? Didn't I mean to embarrass me?"

"Stop, stop..." Pang Hong, who was tall and handsome, shouted while dodging.

"Didn't you have diarrhea just now, the stomachache was unbearable, and you ran to the latrine, who knew you would have finished singing when you came out." He muttered: "Singing my part so poorly, I lost several taels of silver."

"I'm ashamed to blame others. If it wasn't for King Antu who made a fuss on the spur of the moment to attract people's attention, I don't know how to end it. The reputation I have worked hard for will be ruined by you." Jiang Xia said in a bad tone.

"Okay, okay... It's my fault, I'm just going to throw away this damn belly, it's not a good thing to ruin our big business at a critical moment, don't worry about it."

After Pang Hong finished speaking, he found a small knife on the table and stabbed himself in the stomach.

"If you can do it well, I'll take your surname Pang." Jiang Xia looked at him indifferently, and based on his understanding of Pang Hong, at most he was just putting on a show to relieve his anger.

"It's seen through again, it's boring." Pang Hong threw away the knife and fell on the bench, wanting to sleep.

"Get up and pack your things." Jiang Xia persisted.

……

Untie the three autumn leaves and bloom February flowers.Thousand-foot waves across the river, leaning into the bamboo ten thousand poles.

Changsheng Palace, in the magnificent inner courtyard with high walls, there is a breeze, bamboo shadows flicker, small bridges and flowing water, pavilions and pavilions, deep in the courtyard, in an exquisite room, figures flash.

Siqin Desheng was resting on the long couch inside the window of Xiaoxuan. He had inhaled a lot of cigarettes during the ritual burning and singing activities, and he was already asthmatic even more.

Andu Liuqing kept muttering something in his ear, not paying attention to it, but when he mentioned Jiang Xia, he opened his eyes wide: "What? The girl you molested is actually a man?"

The lord only felt a suffocation rushing straight to his heart, his breathing became slender, and his panting was extremely uncomfortable.

"God knows it's actually a man playing the role, and I still have to play against him. I'm exhausted." Andu Liuqing was dejected.

"It deserves it." Siqin Desheng didn't give him a good face: "When will the troupe leave?"

"I don't know, maybe I will sing for another day." Andu Liuqing said.

"Let them leave immediately, don't sing. Don't talk about this matter everywhere, it's stuffy in your stomach, it's embarrassing to talk about it."

"Why are you bored? What's the matter with men? Can't men like you? Men are human too. Look at him, is he worse than you or me?"

Andu Liuqing had a ruffian face, and yelled at him unceremoniously.

After saying this, the whole person was stunned, do you like men?I like men, how is it possible?Hell.He looked shocked, and didn't believe it at all.

"You..." Siqin Desheng was so angry that he couldn't speak: "Get out..." The order to evict the guest was issued.

"Go away, who is afraid of whom?" Andu Liuqing was fearless, and slammed the door with a smirk on his face: "I still have to go find Miss Fan."

……

After resting for a while, until about midnight, I finally straightened out the suffocation in my chest.Outside the door, the voices of the soldiers came.

"Report to the lord, the battle ahead is tense, the southern king Boye was defeated, the emperor urgently announces that all the ministers will enter the palace to discuss matters."

"The Southern King was defeated?" Si Qin Desheng jumped up from the bed when he heard the words, opened the door and grabbed the collar of the soldier: "How is the battle ahead?"

"I don't know the details yet. I only know that Nan Wang's side has lost troops and generals. The Seventh Prince of Cheqian Kingdom is attacking fiercely. Nan Wang can't stand it anymore. He has sent seven urgent reports calling for help."

"Prepare the chariots and horses quickly, and enter the palace." He ordered, and quickly put on his clothes.

Before the Southern King Boye sent troops, he felt that something was wrong, and now he really guessed that once the Southern King was defeated, the consequences would be disastrous, and the seventeen cities in the northwest would be lost.

Dragging a sick body into the palace, the lights inside were brightly lit, there was a lot of voices, all the ministers, royal family and nobles were all present, Antu Liuqing also squeezed in from the door, presumably heard the wind.

"Ministers of the Qing family, calling you here late at night is really a matter of serious concern and the fate of the country." Si Qin called everyone to calm down wearily and weakly.

"I just received the battle report. The battle in the Nan Wang Bo field is tense. The seven princes of the Cheqian Kingdom are arrogant and fierce. It is no longer a Nan Wang and a hundred thousand soldiers can resist. I invite everyone to come here and discuss countermeasures. Let's talk. , how to retreat this wolf soldier to keep our country safe?"

As soon as the words fell, there was a lot of discussion in the hall, and the ministers were discussing in a hurry.

"I have always received battle reports saying that the battle is going well, and the enemy is retreating steadily. How come there is such a big reversal so quickly, and they can't stand it anymore and need support?" said one of the slightly fat ministers.

"It is said that the Seventh Prince of Cheqian Kingdom is very scheming and cunning. He first pretended to be defeated and lured our army into the enemy's belly. After reaching the enemy's belly, a large number of soldiers and horses of the Seventh Prince appeared and surrounded our army. The granary and the water source are cut off, our army is making the sky and the earth not working."

The one who spoke was An Yisheng, a first-rank civil servant in Chiwu Kingdom, about 40 years old, with a tall and straight figure.

"In my Chiwu Kingdom, the only ones who can march and fight are Nanwang Boye, who is Prince Desheng. It's really hard to find someone to replace Nanwang's defeat." Another minister said, his name is Tian Jiazhi, an old minister with a long beard.

"Yes, there are many civil servants in our country, but few military generals. Originally, Prince Desheng was a genius to lead the army. Unfortunately, he is weak and can't go through a lot of trouble." Another veteran said.

At this time, another soldier came to report outside the door.

"Qi Zuo Emperor, urgent report from the front, we have lost seventeen cities in a row, Southern King Boye is missing, if there is no reinforcements, the Seventh Prince of Cheqian Kingdom may soon invade our capital."

"what……"

There was panic in the hall, the ministers were in a mess, and Si Qin sat slumped on the dragon chair safely.

"what……"

Siqin Desheng couldn't bear it any longer, and spat out a mouthful of blood in the air.

"My lord..." Everyone panicked even more...

"My lord..." Si Qin'an and Hua Qianyi came quickly from outside the door and supported Si Qin Desheng.

"Cousin..." Andu Liuqing was also shocked.

People gathered around to ask questions.

"Quickly send the imperial doctor!" The emperor shouted.

After a while, the imperial doctor finished his pulse, shook his head and sighed.

"My lord is in a hurry. In addition, the body is already weak, and the problem of being startled is even more serious. Don't worry about marching and fighting. Let's go back and take care of your body."

"Desheng, you can go back home to recuperate first, you don't have to worry about the battle ahead, there is still the emperor uncle here." Si Qin comforted him calmly.

"It's a big deal that my royal conquest will definitely recover the seventeen lost cities. I don't believe that the arrogance of the Seventh Prince of Cheqian Kingdom can't be cured." Although Si Qin Anran's figure was not imposing, her words were incomparably imposing.

"Uncle Emperor, I can't let the monarch lead the army to fight even if there is no one else. My nephew is fine, I just vomited a mouthful of blood. I'm used to it, so I can lead the army." Siqin Desheng waved his hand, panting.

At this time, outside the door, a servant came in and reported to the emperor.

"Revealing the emperor, the ceremonial activities for the prince's birthday have been done for a day and a night, and now it is basically over. The elders from the holy king's side said that they have packed their things and are ready to go back to the snowy holy palace. Now I am here to say goodbye."

After saying that, Mohannad, the sage king of the snow region, came in outside the door.

At this time, he had changed into an ordinary brown monk's uniform, with wide cuffs, and an ordinary monk's scarf around his neck, looking elegant and handsome.The sun is shining on his handsome and jade-like face, and a smile gives people the feeling of spring breeze.

The whole hall fell silent, and all the officials looked at him quietly, as if watching an elegant and unrestrained fairy floating into the hall.

The holy king glanced at the prince who was as angry as silk, nodded his head slightly as a salute, turned around and walked in front of Si Qin Anran, and saluted him.

"Your Majesty, the recent religious activities have ended, and the poor monk has come to bid farewell. I hope the Emperor will agree."

"The holy monk has worked hard all the way, because he is busy with state affairs and the ceremony is not in order. I hope the holy king will forgive me, and the journey will be smooth." The emperor said politely.

The Holy King nodded in agreement, and bowed out of the hall.

When passing in front of Siqin Desheng, his footsteps slowed down, his mouth was still bloodshot, and he looked at himself angrily.

Seeing his uncomfortable appearance, the Holy King was silent for a while, and then whispered in his ear: "Wait for me, wait for me for three days, and I will definitely bring you the elixir to cure your asthma."

Although his voice was small, it was like thunder empowering, shaking the prince's whole body.

Seeing his calm gaze and incomparable determination, the prince seemed to have guessed what he was going to do, and he held his hand gently, as if he had the feeling of not letting go for the rest of his life, and also worried that if he let go, he would lose him.

"It's okay, wait for me." The Holy King pressed his hand, his eyes were calm and firm, which made people feel unreasonable trust.

Looking at the back of the holy king, the prince felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

……

The next day, Andu Liuqing went to look for Jiang Xia again, and found that the people had gone to the empty building, and a group of people from the theater troupe had long since disappeared.I can't help being lonely for a while, the day after tomorrow I will go to war with King Sheng, I don't know when I will see you again.

Thinking of the scene of singing an opera with him, I feel that I still can't get enough of it. I don't know why, I just want to sing with him again, and play again.

On the third day, Yudu Shrine held a grand marshal ceremony, and Siqin Anran announced to the world: Siqin Desheng is the Grand Marshal of Changsheng, Antu Liuqing is the Deputy Marshal, and Hua Qianyi is the tent. The forward, leading 20 elite soldiers, went to Chewuguan to support and fight against the enemy.

At the same time, the Southern King Siqin Boye was revoked from the post of Generalissimo of the Army and Horses, and the rest of the army officers and soldiers were headed by Generalissimo Changsheng, and were under the command of Generalissimo Changsheng.
