Dongyin

?It was March in Yangchun, green and red, and it took the two of them nearly a month to travel from Vientiane Temple to Jiulong Mountain all the way.

Don't mention gossip, just say that Duan Hong just arrived in Jiulong Mountain, and it happened to catch up with a timely rain.As the saying goes, nine sunny days meet with rain, which is great joy.Chang Taiqing, who came to meet him, flattered him a lot.

Unexpectedly, Duan Hong was unmoved, he just looked at his flattering face and said, "It's been a long time since I saw you, but Chang's population has not decreased. I just hope that adults can do more than talk."

Chang Taiqing's heart skipped a beat, he thought that Duan Hongyou would be very happy when he came back from such a tour, but unexpectedly he slapped it on the horse's hoof, and hurriedly said, "I am overjoyed to see Longyan for the first time, I hope your Majesty will forgive me." crime."

"The construction of the mausoleum is a job that many people can't ask for." Duan Hong said coldly, "Since I entrusted it to you, you should know what I expect of you."

"Yes, yes," Chang Taiqing said with a smile, "I think of the emperor's kindness, and I donated 1 taels of silver to build the Linzi city tower a few days ago."

Duan Hong glanced at him, walked straight forward without saying a word.

Chang Taiqing hurriedly chased after him and said, "Mr., I plan to donate another 10 taels to open a charity hall in Haozhou."

Only then did Duan Hong stop, examine him for a while and said, "Let's go."

Chang Taiqing heaved a sigh of relief, his heart ached, and he didn't speak for a long time.Duan Hongcai ignored him and went straight to the mausoleum, but stopped in front of the stone statue and asked, "How is the tomb going?"

"Return to Your Majesty, the work will be completed in less than a month."

Duan Hong understood, frowned and said, "Rumors have spread all over the place recently, and the princes are restless. I plan to let them watch the ceremony when the mausoleum is sealed. But if that happens, there will be no peace here in the future, and it will disturb Duke Zhuang's long sleep here."

"..."

Looking at the stone statue, Duan Hong suddenly said, "Move the gate of the tomb and the hall of dedication to the other side of the mountain. If this scene is completed, there is no need to mark it, and it can be restored to its original state."

"But……"

"Needless to say." Duan Hong interrupted him, and said, "Duke Zhuang has been busy all his life, and I don't want him to be in peace after he leaves. How many workers are there here to build the mausoleum?"

"About 800 people"

"You can figure it out." Duan Hong gave him a meaningful look, then turned and left.

But Duan Hong went back to his residence, took a bath and changed clothes, and then burned incense and worshiped in front of Zhuang Jiling.In the past month of traveling, she has delayed a lot of official duties, and she felt even more ashamed in front of Zhuang Jiling, so she immediately read the booklet.

But those are old problems, Duan Hong has nothing else to do except tolerate and give way.Duan Hong felt impatient after watching all these troubles all afternoon, so he took advantage of the time to serve tea.Chang Taiqing finally found a chance to ask the question in his heart, "I have seen soldiers and generals coming and going in the mountains these few days. Is there really a treasure in Jiulong Mountain?"

"Do you want to know?" Duan Hong stared at him with a smile that was not a smile, "Then I tell you, some secrets cannot be kept in the mind of a living person." But speaking of it, this is also an annoying thing. Didn't find anything.It also aroused the suspicion of the princes for no reason, it is really a steal!

Duan Hong was very annoyed, he tore up the pier and searched, "It's been so many days, why didn't there be any news from the army."

Chang Taiqing was reminded of this sentence, and he hurriedly said, "Return to Your Majesty, there is an urgent letter from the army on me. I wanted to meet you and gave it to you, but I was overjoyed when I saw Long Yan win..."

"Not yet!" Duan Hong patted the case and said, "If you delay the military situation, you will lose your head!"

These words frightened Chang Taiqing even more, he presented the letter tremblingly, and then stared at her intently.Duan Hong unfolded the letter expressionlessly, his eyes changed instantly, and after a long time he said slowly, "When did you send this?"

Chang Taiqing was startled, knelt on the ground and said, "It was seven, seven days ago."

"Hurry up and prepare your horse, I'm going to Liangcheng tomorrow morning."

These words seemed to be nothing, Chang Taiqing was surprised, he got up and said, "Your Majesty just came to Jiulong Mountain, what is it that requires you to rush around for days?"

"Chen Guo begs for peace." Duan Hong only gave a brief answer, and then stopped talking.She put down the letter paper, as if thinking about something.

Chang Taiqing took a sneak peek, but saw that the characters were elegant and refined, full of small script, clearly written by a woman, could it be Bai Yan?He hesitated and said, "The cousin..."

"Miss Biao suffered from a minor illness a few days ago. Although she has recovered, she still needs to be recuperated. She has traveled through mountains and rivers for a month, so let her rest here for a few days."

"Yes Yes Yes"

"You don't want to tell her about my going to Liangcheng tomorrow. I'm afraid she won't be distracted and hurt herself." After speaking, Duan Hong said, "Go down and make arrangements, I'm going to rest."

Seeing him go out, Duan Hongcai picked up the letter paper again, and thought deeply: Yan'er, Yan'er, do you really want to see me, or is it a plan to delay the attack when the soldiers approach the city?

"Miss, let me tell you why King Qi hasn't seen anyone in the past few days." Early in the morning, Ying'er jumped into the room and shouted, "So she ran to Liangcheng to meet that Princess Mingyan!"

Chu Xiying froze her hands while she was making up, before hesitatingly said, "Don't talk nonsense."

"Oh, miss, I seem to be the kind of person who likes to talk nonsense." Ying'er walked to her side and said, "I just caught the new eunuch this morning, and I found out that I have been away for three days."

"Your Majesty, why don't you even take your personal person with you when you go out?" Moreover, three days ago, it was the second day they came to Jiulong Mountain.

"Really!" Seeing that she still didn't believe it, Ying'er was really anxious, "If you don't believe me, you can ask Mr. Chang."

Seeing Ying'er's anxious appearance, Chu Xiying couldn't help believing it.She put her makeup on in doubt, and after eating, she went to the palace where Duan Hong lived temporarily.

"I've met Miss Biao" The guards in front of the hall are still those familiar people.

"I have something to see His Majesty, please let me know."

"Your Majesty is dealing with government affairs in the study, and no one will be seen," the leader said, "Please don't make things difficult for us servants, Miss Biao."

"Don't dare" the answer is self-evident, Chu Xiying just said calmly, "I'll wait for her to come out."

"..." Several people looked at me and I looked at you, so I had to invite her in.

On the other hand, when Chu Xi lingered into the palace, Chang Taiqing rushed over even though the maid didn't even bring tea.The two met face to face, and Chang Taiqing said, "Miss Biao, please go back. The military affairs are urgent recently, and His Majesty is very busy, so I really don't want to see you."

"Naturally, the state affairs are important," Chu Xi lingered, "I'll just wait here, and I don't dare to bother my lord."

"This, this, this..." Chang Taiqing stood there in a daze, stammered for a long time, and finally got his wits out of his wits, "To tell you the truth, Your Majesty has been staying in the study for the past few days and just doesn't want to see you. Miss Biao is not embarrassing us. This is a courtier."

"Why?" Chu Xi hesitated for a moment, before reacting in a moment, and said uncertainly, "Master Chang, I ask you to tell me the truth, is Your Majesty... not in the mountains these days?"

"Of course not." Chang Taiqing turned his head away and said, "Your Majesty is here to watch Duke Zhuang's mausoleum sacrifice ceremony, and all the princes will also come. How can such a big event be trifling?"

"Then..." Chu Xiying's thoughts were slackened, and he said reluctantly after a while, "Why doesn't she want to see me, Your Majesty?"

"It's definitely..." Chang Taiqing glanced at her, and felt compassion for her when she saw such a lost look.Thinking about what Duan Hong said, don't tell her for the time being. It's been a few days, so she sighed, "Chen Guo asked for peace. His Majesty left for Liangcheng three days ago. Miss Biao, let's take care of herself on the mountain."

"..."

"Before His Majesty left, he specially told the old man to keep the person close to him, just to hide it from Miss Biao. Why does Miss Biao have to know?"

"I see." Chu Xiying remained silent for a long time before asking again, "Lord Chang, how far is it from Liangcheng?"

"Your Majesty's horse riding is probably already here. If it is a carriage, it may take more than a day." After finishing speaking, Chang Taiqing immediately reacted, and said in surprise, "Miss Biao, don't scare the old man. The old man's family About ten mouths..."

"My lord, don't worry, I'll just rest here." Duan Hong took such great pains to hide it from her, how could she go against her wishes?

"That's good, the old man won't bother you."

"This King Qi is really too much! It's fine to leave without saying hello, and let someone hide it like this!"

"Ying'er! Don't talk about it!" Chu Xiying felt her thoughts were in a mess, and said, "I don't blame her, it's just..." In the past month, even though the spring is infinitely good, she has never seen Duan Hong truly happy Pass.Feeling puzzled, I'm afraid she will be depressed for the rest of her life.It's just that she doesn't need to avoid her like this. After getting along with her for so long, she should understand that she is not a person who entangles carelessly without knowing how to advance or retreat.

"I'm afraid the lady is worried."

"Maybe..." Chu Xiying supported his forehead, thought for a while, and suddenly froze.

"Miss, what's the matter with you?" Ying'er couldn't help asking when she saw her worried face.

"Ying'er, I suddenly remembered that the eminent monk who released the lottery at the Wanxiang Temple said that something unexpected may happen to His Majesty in the near future."

"My miss," Ying'er elongated her voice, and said helplessly, "Don't be suspicious, I think King Qi knew you would be like this, so he wanted to hide it from you."

"..." Chu Xiying didn't argue, and felt that there was no way to talk about such a thing.May this all be an illusion.
