Chapter II. 47. The Princess's Trust

When Shen Gui heard what Princess Fengyang had entrusted him, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh a few times, and then sat on the handrail of the water pavilion, changed his cautious and cautious manners, and said casually:

"Miss Yan is joking with me."

The reason why Yan Shuqing, the third princess of Fengyang, called Shen Gui as her cousin was nothing more than the relationship between Guo Yunsong and Yan Wuqiu's sworn brothers. Since I have asked him, it is naturally easier to open up some friendships. As soon as she said this, Shen Gui knew that this princess of Fengyang, who looked clear and transparent, was not a fuel-efficient lamp.

Actually, it's not hard to understand.

Yan Shuqing and Yan Qinghong were born to the same mother and were deeply loved by Emperor Xuande. But because her daughter couldn't enter the Yan family tree, the word "Qing" in her generation was replaced with the homophonic word "Qing", and it was placed at the end of her name. However, due to his mother, Concubine Bao, who came from Mobei and his relatives, naturally has a low status in the palace, so the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace are naturally only obedient on the surface, and there are no less rumors in secret.

Yan Shuqing grew up in such an environment since she was a child, and her second brother Yan Qinghong, a compatriot, is very different from the crown prince Yan Tian, both in terms of style and ability, and she is inevitably bullied. This seemingly simple and thorough princess of Fengyang is an extremely noble identity, but because she grew up in this environment, she has developed a temperament that is good at speculating on people's hearts.

Shen Gui casually blocked back a word, so he left Yan Shuqing on the spot, and he carefully watched the koi fish raised in the pond without saying a word.

In the end, it was the third princess Yan Shuqing who was the first to lose her breath and said:

"Presumably my second brother also told you about marrying Mobei and his relatives this time. There are three sisters in my Yan family, the eldest sister, Princess Heyang, who married into the Beiyan Palace as a concubine a few years ago; The second sister, Princess Huaiyang, was weak and died early. Right now, only Shuqing is the only one who can be chosen, but I'm afraid that this time the matter of making peace with Mobei will fall on my head. ”

In fact, it is not difficult to see that Emperor Xuande Yan Hunt still loves this little daughter very much. Whether it is given in the name of the clan, or until now it has not been announced and the choice of relatives, it shows Yan Hunt's love for licking calves. However, as she herself said, in the current situation, Yan Shuqing is the only one who can choose and is not pickable, so there is no luck at all.

"The bad idea that you want me to assassinate King Bormu Khan was taught to you by that fool of your second brother, right?"

After hearing Shen Gui's words, Yan Shuqing also pursed his lips and smiled:

"Shuqing thinks it's a good way to draw a salary from the bottom of the kettle."

Shen Gui looked at her covering her face with her sleeves and looking back with a light smile, and couldn't help but be stunned: such a delicate and transparent woman, if she really marries the Mobei grassland, the slender and soft silk Luo on Zhou's body will definitely be replaced with a heavy and stupid leather jacket; Spending all day long with cattle, sheep and horses will inevitably be contaminated with the smell of manure and greasy. Now just thinking about it slightly, I already have a feeling of "tyrannical destruction" in my heart.

It's a pity, but because of the pity of a princess's withering, he went to lick the blood with his own danger, and Shen Gui didn't have such a high sentiment. After all, he is just a broken kid, and he has been in the company of those ninth-rate people for many years, and he has long become extremely shrewd and philistine. The romantic journeys of princesses and knights are just stories made up.

"Shen is just a cloth coat, and he has no long things. If you really go to Mobei to assassinate the Khan King, what do you think you can do? Besides, even if Bormu Khan is killed, then there will be a new "Borti Khan, Boryinhan" appearing, and the border trouble on my Youbei Third Road has not been resolved. You must know that for those steppe wolves in Mobei, replacing them with a Khan King is as common as a daily routine. ”

When Yan Shuqing heard this, he also sighed. He stretched out his two white arms, leaned on the handrails of the water pavilion, ignored Shen Gui, who was sitting next to him, and looked at the koi in the water with a pair of eyes, and said faintly:

Shuqing also understands this truth, killing a Bormu Khan is also a symptom rather than a root cause. Today is the invasion of the Mobei grassland, and tomorrow is the knocking of the Northern Yan army, I, the third princess, are just a chess piece in the hands of my father after all...... Ay! Otherwise, you will be killed along with my father, right? ”

After saying a word, Yan Shuqing suddenly looked up at Shen Gui who was sitting on the side, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes flashed with a strange light.

As soon as Yan Shuqing's rebellious words came out, he almost jumped into the pool without scaring Shen Gui. He was just about to speak, but he saw Yan Shuqing covering his face with his sleeves and laughing "giggle". Shen Gui was secretly annoyed in his heart: I didn't expect that I, Shen Gui, had played eagles all my life, but now I was blinded by a sparrow. This little girl is obviously mocking herself, but why can't she involuntarily get into the trap?

"The princess must not say such rebellious words again, she is timid and can't stand the fright."

Shen Gui pretended to wipe his forehead and stood aside with his hands down. looked left and right, and saw that Yan Qinghong was looking over here with his feet on his feet, so he planned to retire and go to Yan Lao Er to theorize in person. So he said goodbye:

"Since the princess has nothing else to do, then Shen will ...... it"

"Cousin Shen, I don't want to be a random gift. My second brother said that in this entire Youbei Third Road, only Cousin Shen may have a way to save me from this catastrophe. Please also give me advice, Shuqing and the mother concubine will feel the kindness of their cousin. In the future, if you have an invitation, we and the other three will not dare to refuse. ”

As soon as she said this, she showed the price. However, in Shen Gui's opinion, this price is undoubtedly the three of them, mother and son, who are bright empty gloves white wolves.

Although Yan Qinghong and himself have some friendships, they have only had a similar temper since childhood, and they often fool around together. To put it mildly, at most it is just a friend of wine and meat. Now that the three of them are just empty words, they have to be driven by themselves and charge forward for their mother and son, which is a little too naΓ―ve.

Shen Gui didn't have any respect for this person, and in the face of the entrustment of the princess, the prince, and the concubine, he was just measuring the price of this transaction. It can really be said that the baht must be compared, and the market is tight.

"Shen has already said that a grass person in Xiaqu District will never be able to bear such a heavy trust, and I hope that Concubine Bao and Princess Fengyang can understand ......"

As soon as the words of resignation came out, he seemed to flee and leave the water pavilion. A few big strides came to Yan Qinghong:

"I mean, are you serious? How can this kind of thing be good for her to come in person? How did I open up with her! ”

Yan Qinghong didn't care:

"Tell her whatever you want to tell me, there's nothing you can't say. What's more, my mother's concubine also meant this, and borrowed Shuqing to come in person, so as to express our sincerity to you. ”

"What's the matter? Your status in the family has reached this point? Don't even have the qualifications to express sincerity? ”

"Isn't that her own business? If it weren't for the fact that it was not easy for the concubine to leave the palace, I would have come to beg you in person. ”

After that, Yan Qinghong took out a bone chain from his arms:

"This is what my mother entrusted me to bring to you, and it was her original dowry."

Shen Gui took Bao Guifei's bone chain and looked at it carefully several times, but he didn't find anything special:

"What do you mean by giving me this bone chain? Threaten me? ”

Yan Qinghong shrugged his shoulders:

"How do I know! But it's not surprising that he is so pushy at you and threatens you! ”

The two were chattering about the meaning of this bone chain, and Princess Fengyang, who was in the water pavilion, walked over quietly, glanced at the bone chain casually, and said lightly:

"I have heard this bone chain talk about it from my mother. This is the talisman given by the ancestor of the great shaman Li Xuanyu when the mother concubine married into Youbei. Then, on the day of Shen Gui's cousin's birth, he was sent by his mother to the altar nine miles away in the south of the city as one of the magic weapons worn by the great shaman when praying for the spirit. You are not a shaman, so you naturally can't feel the spiritual power contained in it. ”

As soon as Shen Guiyi heard the sensitive words "spiritual power, magic weapons, shamans, and prayers", the shadows of Qi Lingyan and Flying Kite suddenly appeared in his mind. So he immediately took the bone chain magic weapon into his arms without a trace, and then looked at Princess Fengyang shamelessly and said:

"If you want to assassinate King Bormu Khan, I really can't do it; However, if Princess Fengyang just doesn't want to marry her relatives, there are some simple methods available. ”

Yan Qinghong looked at Shen Gui, who had changed his face, with disdain, and said:

"What a shrewd man who doesn't see rabbits and doesn't scatter eagles...... A second prince of Youbei, coupled with the promise of the concubine and the princess, is not tempting enough for you. ”

"You know the! It is because of you that the credibility of the promises of the two nobles will be greatly reduced. At present, since the string of magic weapons sent by Concubine Bao is from the hands of Li Xuanyu, the great shaman of the previous generation, I have to return the favor for her old man, right? ”

When Yan Qinghong heard Shen Gui say this, his right hand opened in front of Shen Gui:

"Then if you don't want it, take it back!"

Shen Gui twisted his body and glared at him obliquely:

"Why don't you die!"
