Chapter 1072: Halfway Encounters an Assassin
Zhen Mi, who was standing next to Yuan Xi, saw Liu Wei coming over, and hurriedly blessed him, and said in a very soft voice: "Your Highness Wan'an!" ”
Turning his head to look at Zhen Mi, Liu Wei smiled slightly, and said to Yuan Xi: "I have heard Mrs. Xianyi's country for a long time, and today is one room, it really lives up to its reputation!" ”
was praised by Liu Wei, Zhen Mi's cheeks flushed slightly, and she hurriedly lowered her head.
Liu Wei's gaze did not linger on Zhen Mi, but only praised her for her national beauty and fragrance, and then said to Yuan Xi and Jia Xu: "I'll wait to talk in the pavilion!" ”
Yuan Xi and Jia Xu responded, and followed Liu Wei to the Flower Pavilion.
Zhen Mi was about to follow, but Guan Qing, who came with Liu Wei, hurriedly stepped forward, took her hands with a smile on her face, and looked at her carefully from head to toe.
When looking at Zhen Mi, Guan Qing always had a smile in his eyebrows, and he felt uncomfortable looking at Zhen Mi.
"Zhen Ji is really beautiful and fragrant!" After seeing Zhen Mi thoroughly, Guan Qing said to her with a smile: "The affairs of the man's family, I don't have to participate in the women's family, how about my sister and walk around with the princess?" ”
The Qin Wangfu has always been very frugal in clothing and other luxury goods, and the clothes worn by Guan Qing are not much different from the wives of ordinary eunuchs.
At first, she was holding her hands, and Zhen Mi didn't know who she was.
If it weren't for the fact that someone was holding her hands like this in King Qin's mansion, she would have thrown off the person who pulled her a long time ago, and she was a little annoyed.
Hearing that it was the princess who was pulling her, Zhen Mi was suddenly shocked in her heart, and hurriedly withdrew the hand that was being held by Guan Qing, and blessed her and said: "The concubine didn't know that it was the princess, how abrupt ......"
"When Zhen Ji came to Luoyang, she was like her own sister, she didn't need to be so polite!" Guan Qing smiled sweetly, stretched out his hand to grab Zhen Mi again, and said to her: "I will leave it here at their man's house to discuss important matters, you and I should go to the back garden and take a walk!" ”
The princess invited, Zhen Mi didn't dare to refuse, hurriedly responded, hugged Guan Qingxiang, and walked towards the gravel path.
Guan Qing and Zhen Mi left, Wang Zhen pressed the long sword in his hand, turned around and followed.
Invite Yuan Xi and his wife to Luoyang, Zhen Mi is an extremely critical part of Liu Bian's plan, although the palace is heavily guarded, Wang Zhen is still ordered by Liu Wei to protect Zhen Mi throughout the process.
Holding Zhen Mi and Zhen Mi, walking along the gravel path to the main road in the back garden, Guan Qing asked Zhen Mi as she walked, "Zhen Ji came all the way, how is the road?" ”
"Back to the princess!" Guan Qing asked her about the scene along the way, and Zhen Mi hurriedly whispered: "This way, I scared the concubine a lot!" ”
"Oh?" On the boat with Liu Wei, Guan Qing already knew about Zhen Mi and Yuan Xi's encounter with the assassins halfway, and she also knew very well that the person who led the assassins at that time was behind them, but she still pretended to be completely unaware and asked Zhen Mi: "But you met poisonous insects and beasts?" ”
"It's not a poisonous beast!" Thinking of the encounter with the assassin that day, Zhen Mi was still a little afraid in her heart, and said softly to Guan Qing: "I am about to enter the Great Qin Realm, and I am waiting for the assassin ......."
"Assassins?" Before Zhen Mi's words fell, Guan Qing pretended to be taken aback and asked her, "Is Zhen Ji injured?" ”
"Not hurt!" Guan Qing looked concerned, Zhen Mi suddenly felt warm in her heart, and said softly: "Fortunately, the guards fought to the death, and the concubine and husband were saved from being poisoned by assassins!" ”
Hearing that Zhen Mi said that she was not injured, Guan Qing seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and said to her: "I'm scared to death of this princess!" If Zhen Ji and the second prince were injured in the middle of the road, and they were on the way to Daqin, His Royal Highness would definitely be very guilty. When the second prince returns to Hebei, this princess will definitely remind His Royal Highness to send more guards! ”
"Thank you, Princess!" Guan Qing said that Yuan Xi would return to Hebei and ask Liu Wei to send more guards, Zhen Mi hurriedly blessed her and thanked her.
Holding Zhen Mi again, Guan Qing said to her while walking forward with her: "Does Zhen Ji know, how is the war between Yuan Gong and Cao Cao now?" ”
"Back to the princess!" Zhen Mi has always lived in the deep courtyard, where would she know what the war was going on outside, she hurriedly said to Guan Qing: "The cheap concubine has lived in the deep courtyard for a long time, and she does not participate in the affairs of the man's family!" ”
"Since Zhen Ji doesn't know, this princess will tell Zhen Ji!" Stopping and holding Zhen Mi's hand, Guan Qing's face suddenly became solemn, and he said to her: "In the first battle of Guandu, Yuan Gong lost his troops and lost his generals, and now Cao Cao's army is approaching Yecheng!" ”
Hearing that Cao Cao's army was approaching Yecheng, Zhen Mi was stunned, and her beautiful face suddenly revealed a touch of panic.
As the daughter-in-law of the Yuan family, once Yecheng was broken by the Cao army, she and the daughters of the Yuan family did not know what kind of miserable fate they would face.
Although he looked flustered, Zhen Mi did not say anything.
As Yuan Xi's wife, she would never participate in the battles of the Yuan family, let alone intervene in the war between Yuan Jun and Cao Jun.
Guan Qing told her this, but after Zhen Mi was flustered, she felt inexplicable in her heart, and she didn't know what she wanted to say.
"Yuan Chengcheng recruited troops and horses, intending to fight a decisive battle with Cao Jun!" Holding Zhen Mi's hands, Guan Qing smiled and said to her: "The generals and soldiers of Cao Cao's army are all warriors of a hundred battles, and the soldiers and horses that Yuan Gong urgently recruited can compete with Cao's army, Zhen Ji should also have a comparison!" ”
"What does the princess mean?" Both hands were held by Guan Qing, and Zhen Mi asked softly with a puzzled expression.
When she looked at Guan Qing, her beautiful eyes flashed with deep doubts, but it made her eyes, which were as clear as a pool of water, more misty and poignant.
With a smile on her face, Guan Qing didn't let go of the hand holding Zhen Mi, and said to her very affectionately: "In two days is the birthday of this princess, His Royal Highness invites the virtuous couple to come, one is to celebrate the birthday of this princess, and the other is to discuss with Xian Yi Gongzi how to deal with Hebei!" ”
"The matter of Hebei is the matter of a man's family!" As soon as Guan Qing's words fell, Zhen Mi pursed her lips, lowered her head and said softly: "The concubine is a daughter, the princess and the concubine say this, and the concubine doesn't understand!" ”
"It is said that Zhen Ji is smart and clear, why don't you understand this?" Guan Qing turned around and pulled Zhen Mi to walk deeper into the back garden, and said to her: "The daughter's family really shouldn't care about men's affairs, but in case a man fights with the enemy outside, but the thief army breaks through the home, as a daughter's family, how to make her husband feel at ease?" ”
Guan Qing said a word, and Zhen Mi was stunned.
Cao's army has approached Yecheng, and once Yuan's army is defeated again, Yecheng will be breached, and it will only be a matter of time.
To meet the Cao army, Yuan Xi will definitely lead the army outside, and Yecheng will be broken at that time......
Thinking of this, Zhen Mi didn't dare to think about it anymore.
Although Zhen Mi said that she didn't care about the affairs of the man's family, Guan Qing told her about Hebei, she still listened quietly, for fear of missing a word.
"This time I invited the virtuous couple to come, and His Royal Highness is going to discuss with the prince Xianyi about the dispatch of troops by Great Qin." From her expression, Guan Qing could see that she was not indifferent to the war, and then said: "There will be a big battle between Yuan Gong, Da Qin and Cao Cao. Except for Luoyang, I am afraid that there is no stable city in the Central Plains! ”
Looking at Guan Qing, Zhen Mi opened her mouth slightly, as if she had something to say, but she didn't say it.
"Zhen Ji has something to say?" From Zhen Mi's action of opening her mouth but not speaking, Guan Qing could see that her heart was fluctuating, and asked her with a slight smile.
"Yecheng is the foundation of the husband's family, I don't think Cao Jun will break it so lightly!" Lowering her head, Zhen Mi pursed her lips and said softly: "Your Highness should not sit idly by and watch Yecheng fall!" ”
"What Zhen Ji said is not bad, but she ignores one point!" As soon as Zhen Mi's words were finished, Guan Qing took over her words and said, "Luoyang and Yecheng are really far away......
Stunned for a moment, looking at Guan Qing, although Zhen Mi didn't say anything more, the look on her face was full of worry.
While Guan Qing frightened Zhen Mi with words, Liu Wei, who boarded the flower pavilion with Yuan Xi and Jia Xu, put his hands behind his back, facing the pond outside the pavilion, and asked Yuan Xi, who was standing behind him, "Xianyi came all the way, are you okay?" ”
"Back to Your Highness!" Before Yuan Xi could answer, Jia Xu, who was standing beside him, bowed down with his fists, and saluted Liu Wei, who was facing away from them, and said, "Gongzi Xianyi came all the way, but it was quite smooth, but when he was about to enter Daqin, he encountered an assassin!" ”
"Assassin!" I knew very well what was going on with the assassin, and after Jia Xu's words fell, Liu Wei still turned around sharply, strode in front of Yuan Xi, supported his shoulders with both hands, looked at him from head to toe with a worried face, and asked, "Is Xianyi injured?" ”
"Blessed by His Highness!" Clenching his fists and bowing, Yuan Xi said to Liu Wei: "Your Majesty is not injured, but Jia Zhonglang is quite frightened!" ”
What Yuan Xi said was undoubtedly that Jia Xu was shocked off his horse when the assassin first appeared.
Hearing him say this, Jia Xu's face suddenly turned red.
Turning his head to look at Jia Xu, Liu Wei asked him: "Jia Zhonglang, how frightened, quickly say that this king knows!" ”
"Back to Your Highness!" He had already guessed what was going on with the assassin, Liu Wei didn't say it, and Jia Xu couldn't make a smart statement that he already knew what was going on, and when Liu Wei asked him how he was frightened, he hurriedly clasped his fists and said: "The assassin suddenly killed, and his subordinates were caught off guard and fell off the horse." It is precisely because of this that his subordinates were not killed by thieves! ”
Judging from Jia Xu's expression, Liu Wei didn't see that he already knew what was going on with the assassin.
However, Liu Wei believed that with Jia Xu's talent, he had categorically guessed the origin of the assassin along the way.
Especially Wang Zhen, who has followed Liu Wei for so long, Jia Xu often sees her, if she can't see her, then Jia Xu has been in Luoyang for so long.
Satisfied with what Jia Xu said, Liu Wei nodded and said: "Zhonglang is frightened, this king will definitely reward him, thinking that Zhonglang is shocked!" ”
