The Beloved in the Palm

Chapter 132 King Xuan is speechless

So what did Liujia Zhuangzi say when he went to the government to complain?

He only said that he was the Zhuangzi of Princess Wei's mother's family, but he didn't mention whose family the Zhuangzi across the street belonged to!

They are not stupid either. After all, once the identity of the other party is mentioned, it will become a struggle between the Wei Palace and the Xuan Palace.

It's too late for the government to clear up the relationship, so how dare they accept the petition?

I'm afraid I just wish I couldn't turn a big thing into a small thing, and turn a small thing into a small thing.

Here Liujiazhuangzi filed a complaint and came out of the government office, and the person from Ningque handed the news to his desk.

Ning did know that the Liu family village would probably bring people from the government office to question him.

So he hurriedly and slowly arrived at Zhuangzi first.

Now that he saw Mrs. Xue, he felt relieved.

Mrs. Xue asked him to sit down and tell the fortune, and then he made the fortune.

"...This hexagram is auspicious." Ning Que said.

"Are you serious?" Mrs. Xue looked at him suspiciously. Why was the divination finished so quickly today?

Ning Que said shamelessly: "My Taoist skills are not as good as Wenzi's, let alone Zhang Daoling's, but now in Taichang Temple, nine out of ten may not be able to beat me."

As long as he sits here today, bad luck will become good luck!

Mrs. Xue showed a double apology: "It's my fault that I didn't believe you. It's just that in the past two days, Mr. Xue also said it was auspicious in Chinese calligraphy and divination. Everything is auspicious. I feel a little strange in my heart."

Ning Que said: "Madam, you have a lot of good fortune, so you should be lucky everywhere."

Mrs. Xue smiled helplessly and said, "Maybe I suffered too much in the first half of my life, and now it's time to be happy?"

Has she suffered a lot?

Ning Que has a meal.

"I accept Mr. Xue's good advice." Mrs. Xue continued.

Ning Que came back to his senses and said hurriedly: "Let me draw a talisman for Madam. In addition to the peace talisman, how about drawing another one to turn bad luck into good luck?"

Mrs. Xue said, "There's no hurry."

As she spoke, she turned around and told the maid: "Go get a basin of water."

The maid heard the sound and went away.

Ning Que thought, is this about using water for divination? There are also records of this method in ancient books. But he didn’t learn this method at all!

Ning Que pursed his lips and began to make up lyrics in his mind.

At this time, the maid brought water, but Mrs. Xue said to him: "Sir, please wipe your face first."

Ning Que was stunned.

"I noticed that Mr. Wang was in a hurry when he arrived, and there was sweat on his forehead."

Ning Que lowered his head and apologized: "It's really disrespectful to describe him as embarrassed!"

Mrs. Xue wondered.

What kind of disrespect is this? This Taoist priest is quite particular.

After wiping his face, he began to draw talisman.

On the other side, the master of the Liu family village came to the outskirts of the city with the people from the government office.

The people in the government office are still too cautious.

This was in the capital, and if a brick fell casually, it would hit a dignitary.

Therefore, if it is difficult to be an official in Beijing, then it is difficult to be an official here!

No one can tell when a noble person will be offended.

"If it is a relative of the emperor, this matter will not be under the control of our government."

Then you have to ask Dali Temple and Yushitai to take action.

"What kind of royal relative is that?" The man in Liu's village curled his lips.

That's a concubine.

"In that case, how dare they be so arrogant?" The people in the government office were also surprised.

They met the people from Liujiazhuangzi, and they were indeed beaten badly.

His face looked like he had opened a soy sauce shop.

There are also a few like blood gourds.

The other party's dirty tricks shocked them so much that they immediately led their men out.

"There are not many people in the city who dare to walk sideways, but outside the city, who cares about who? Moreover, they have been fighting against us in the village for a long time. Cutting off canals and robbing tenants are all bad things. That is Our master has regained his reputation, so he won’t argue with such villains.”

The people in the government office frowned after hearing this.

"But it's different now. The girl in our house has become Princess Wei. This is no longer the family's face. It also involves the face of His Highness King Wei! How can we tolerate this tone?"

The people from Liujiazhuangzi speak eloquently.

The people in the government office couldn't help but sigh: "Not bad!"

They also came into some spirit.

The king of Wei has a noble status, and now that he has protected the face of the king of Wei, he can be considered to be in favor with the big shots and gain a reputation.

If something happens in the future, you can ask to go to Prince Wei's Mansion!

"We're here!" Liujiazhuangzi was the only one left alive, and the others couldn't get up.

I saw this man shouting loudly and jumping out of the bullock cart first.

People from the government office got off their horses, and those who got off their ox carts got off their ox carts.

They looked up.

There was a sign on the village saying "One peck, one drink". What the hell?

The people in Liujiazhuangzi also laughed secretly when they looked at the sign.

Thanks to the Xuejiazhuangzi people, I don’t know why they went crazy, but they actually changed such a brand.

Who can recognize who the host is?

Whenever the word "Xue" is written on it, the people in the government office still have to hesitate.

Looking at this, what is there to hesitate about?

Sure enough.

The person from the government office looked cold and said in a deep voice: "Go and take all the servants and stewards from Zhuangzi back to the government office for interrogation!"

"yes!"

The response was loud.

At this time, people from Zhuangzi also came out.

They all look fierce and have grown fat and strong. Of course they were injured, but not many.

Most of them are just a patch of green here and a patch of purple there.

Most of them are just scratches.

Compared with the people in Liujiazhuangzi, they are like heaven and earth!

"They are really a group of cunning and fierce bandits!" The people in the government office shouted.

They were also nervous, and even put one hand on the hilt of the knife, fearing that they would encounter resistance.

At this time, Ning Que's long-serving servant who stayed outside also walked up, holding a waist badge in his hand.

The long-serving servant smiled and said, "People from the government office? I wonder if your Xun Zhifu is doing well recently?"

The people in the government office were confused. Why are they getting close to us?

They frowned and immediately showed an attitude of hating evil as much as their enemies: "The government office is handling a case, how can you talk about private affairs here? Are you from the manor? If so, then take him down as well."

Since they have made up their minds to eat the meal of King Wei, they can't show any intention of wavering! They must be firm!

This made Ning Que's long-serving servant so angry that his eyebrows jumped.

What a fool?

The long-serving servant narrowed his eyes and directly raised the waist badge in his hand: "Look carefully before you speak."

But before the people in the government office could take a closer look.

But the people in the manor all surrendered and said, "Take us away."

The people in the government office were stunned.

The long-servant was also stunned.

Even the people in Liujia Manor were dumbfounded.

Where is your fierceness?

Where is the momentum that you will not stop until you beat us to death?

Why did you wilt when you saw the government officials?

The people in Liujia Manor were not happy, on the contrary, they felt aggrieved! Very aggrieved!

They were still counting on this group of people to continue to be tough and hard-mouthed, and then be beaten down by the people in the government office, and finally make a big fuss, the bigger the better, so that they will have no chance to turn over!

In the end, you admit defeat?

"Don't be afraid, this matter..." Ning Que's long-servant wiped his face, endured the confusion and doubts in his heart, and turned around to try to persuade the people in the manor here.

But these strong men shook their heads and said, "We have nothing to say if the government comes to arrest us after we beat someone up. But there are causes and consequences for this matter. We believe that the prefect is very perceptive and will distinguish right from wrong and give us justice."

Chief attendant: "..." Don't mention it, this sounds quite reasonable.

The people in the government also twitched their mouths.

What is this?

No sense of accomplishment at all.

They even lost the chance to ask the King of Wei for credit and show how hard a battle it was.

The people in the government office could only muffled and said, "Okay, take them all away, let's go."

This was totally out of routine. Liujia Zhuangzi watched the government office take the people away. After a while, he came to his senses: "This matter, this matter will not make any more mistakes, right?"

"Or... send someone to the master's house to tell him?"

"What master's house? The master's eldest son will probably scold us. It's better to go to the Prince of Wei's mansion."

"That makes sense!"

The long-servant who was left at last let out a sigh and went in awkwardly to report to Ning Que.

When the long-servant came in, Ning Que had just finished drawing a new talisman. He stood up and walked out the door and asked, "What's the matter?"

Ning Que, the long-servant, had followed him for many years, and ordinary county officials were not as capable as him.

Ning Que believed that he could handle today's affairs properly.

But at this time, the long-servant sighed heavily and said, "The servants were taken away by the government office."

Ning Que frowned: "How could this be? You..."

The long-servant hurriedly said, "Master, it's not that I'm incompetent."

He hurriedly relayed what the servants said to Ning Que.

After listening, Ning Que whispered, "Although they are some rough servants, they have the demeanor of gentlemen. They are neither humble nor arrogant, and they are not willing to use my power to cause trouble for me. ... That girl really taught them very well."

The long-servant couldn't help but nod and said, "It can be seen that their family style and character are both excellent."

"It's a pity that I can't help anything." Ning Que frowned and said, "You should follow them. If there is anything unusual, report it in time."

The long-servant left in response.

Ning Que turned back and heard Mrs. Xue curiously ask, "Do Taoist priests also have long-servants?"

Ning Que didn't know what to say, "...It's a Taoist child."

Mrs. Xue muttered in her heart that this Taoist child is not young! But she didn't ask much in the end.

Ning Que drew a lot of talismans in one breath.

Madam Xue invited him to have dinner at the farm, and the cook had not been taken away yet, so there was no problem with eating.

"Why didn't you see Mr. Liu?" Madam Xue asked the servant.

"Mr. Liu went back to the city angrily when he heard that the servants were taken away." The servant replied.

Madam Xue sighed and muttered secretly, what tricks did Qingyin play?

This made Liu Xiuyuan worried and anxious.

However, Madam Xue still believed in her daughter, and with Ning Que's divination, her face still looked particularly calm, and nodded and said, "Okay, I know."

Ning Que couldn't help sighing again when he saw this.

The mother and daughter were both more patient than each other, and they were really heroic. Men might not be able to compare.

They had dinner quickly, but Ning Que didn't mean to leave.

"Mr. Ning is not going back to the city?" Madam Xue asked him.

"There are not many people left at the farm now, I'm afraid someone will take advantage of the situation..." Ning Que explained.

The protection is obvious.

Madam Xue laughed out loud: "Sir, you are so weak, do you really need him to protect us? I am more like protecting you."

Ning Que blushed.

He is good at governing a region, and officials of all ranks are obedient to him. He is also good at handling court affairs. He is not inferior to others in writing articles, and he can also talk about Taoism.

But in terms of martial arts, it is indeed... average.

If Madam is stronger than him, it is not a big deal.

A woman like Madam Ru is rare and fresh.

Ning Que said modestly: "It's always good to have more people."

Madam Xue looked at him, and doubted her heart. She suddenly asked: "Do all Taoists have a heart of universal love like Mr. Ru?"

Ning Que's heart tightened, and he whispered: "No. Universal love is the Mohist saying." He paused and said: "I studied Confucianism."

Confucianism advocates "love has differences".

This statement is obvious and ready to come out.

But he forgot that Madam Xue's handwriting is average, and her reading is even more average.

Madam Xue nodded and said: "Oh."

What did he mean? I don't understand. Forget it. Don't ask. It seems shallow.

The atmosphere here fell into silence for a while.

Xue Qingyin on the other side was already counting her fingers out of boredom.

When will Liu Yuerong go to complain?

If she doesn't go to complain, she will directly ask the emperor to leave the palace!

The maidservant on the side glanced at Xue Qingyin's face and thought to herself, the concubine must be missing King Xuan, right?

Xue Qingyin suddenly raised her head and said, "Have I sent the things I want to send to King Xuan?"

The maidservant said, "I left the city a long time ago."

"Oh." Xue Qingyin lay back down again.

I don't know when King Xuan will receive it?

Oh, why do I still worry about it after sending it out?

There are special post stations and passages for sending letters in the army.

Otherwise, the military situation is extremely urgent, and if it is not delivered quickly, the daylily will be cold by the time it is delivered.

The things Xue Qingyin wanted to send were sent along this route.

This movement was reported to Emperor Liang De the next day.

Emperor Liang De sat there, dazed for a while, and I don't know what he remembered.

The people below whispered: "Your Majesty, this concubine of King Xuan is really absurd. How upright was King Xuan before? Now he uses public resources for personal gain..."

Emperor Liang De said indifferently: "If you were newly married and your husband led the army to fight, would you be able to endure loneliness and worry and not send a letter to ask?"

The minister opened his mouth and said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, I am a man, I don't have a husband."

Emperor Liang De snorted coldly: "You are not a commoner either, so when you deal with family and national affairs, don't you understand what the people need and what the people think? If so, what are you still doing in this position?"

The man panicked and kowtowed to confess his crime.

...

King Xuan only brought 30,000 troops this time.

Sometimes there are many people, more food and grass are needed, and the marching speed is slow, which is restrained everywhere.

King Xuan is brave and has always been good at defeating the many with the few.

Today is also the case.

After he arrived at Guannei Road, he led 30,000 troops and quickly suppressed 50,000 Anxi troops. The remaining 70,000 fled into Langshan and were trapped there. For a while, the two sides were in a stalemate.

King Xuan's camp was stationed 60 miles away from Langshan.

The wind whistled and blew the tents, with a murderous atmosphere.

And Langshan was mostly dry.

The climate here was naturally not suitable for living.

Fang Chengzhong shook off the sand on his body, moved his cracked lips, lifted the tent and walked in, looking at the young man sitting in the commander's seat.

"Your Highness, do we have to wait?"

"Yes."

Fang Chengzhong smiled helplessly: "Damn it. If we win quickly, the court will be afraid of your power. Well, wait, wait."

Fang Chengzhong said, with a trace of worry on his face: "Your Highness, do you want to go back with this injury?"

King Xuan still responded indifferently: "Yes."

"I'm afraid the concubine will feel distressed when she sees it."

King Xuan's body moved.

He didn't think whether Xue Qingyin would feel distressed, but with her delicate temperament, she would probably feel it hurt.

Sometimes she likes to hug his neck and kiss him.

Maybe she will scold him for hurting her mouth.

Thinking of this, King Xuan couldn't help pinching his fingertips hard.

"Your Highness! Your Highness! Something has been sent from the capital!" Someone ran in from outside, shouting as he ran.

"Put it in." King Xuan said in a deep voice.

Fang Chengzhong's face also froze: "Could it be that there is a new order?"

As soon as the voice fell, a man walked in empty-handed. When he saw King Xuan, he knelt down and bowed. Then he took out a thin envelope from his chest.

He said: "Your Highness, this is sent to you by the concubine."

"Is she in trouble?" King Xuan frowned and took it with a cold face.

But the man smiled like a flower on his face: "No, the concubine sent you a talisman, saying that you need this when you are on the march and fighting outside. There is also a letter."

King Xuan took out the letter first, wanting to see what Xue Qingyin would say.

This time he opened it...

King Xuan: "..."

Fang Chengzhong was immediately curious: "What is written?" Confessing each other?

At this time, King Xuan took out the talisman paper again.

Take a closer look.

The pen moves like a dragon and snake, it is Taoist talisman paper.

King Xuan is knowledgeable and can recognize what kind of talisman paper it is at a glance.

Fang Chengzhong was envious: "What is this? A lucky charm? The concubine really misses His Highness!"

Prince Xuan: "…………"

Prince Xuan: "No."

The veins on his forehead popped.

It's a talisman for praying for a child.

She was afraid that he couldn't do it?

She was afraid that he couldn't give her a child?

Prince Xuan wanted to return to the capital immediately to let Xue Qingyin know how powerful he was.

"No more waiting." Prince Xuan said suddenly, "Force them out of Wolf Mountain tomorrow."

Fang Chengzhong: "...Ah?"
