Chapter 703: Wisdom Without Brains (Part II)
Ke Qu'er struggled a few times on the horse's back, after all, she didn't want to be taken away like cargo. wanted to straighten up, but Han Jian had already jumped on the horse and pressed her first.
"What are you going to do?" She was very uncomfortable with such a posture, and opened her mouth to shout.
"Take you back to the East Palace." Han Jian rode his horse.
"I ...... I'm not going. You let me go, or ...... You're welcome. Ke Qu'er was jolting on horseback in a way she had never done before, which made her very unaccustomed. I used to ride a horse with my buttocks, but now I ride it with my belly, and after only a few bumps, I feel like I want to retch.
Han Jian didn't listen to what she said, but he also felt that Ke Qu'er didn't seem to be adapting, so he slowed down his horse. Just crossed the street, Ke Qu'er said sharply: "Don't think I can't ......"
"Won't anything?"
"I won't do anything to you!" Ke Qu'er was a little annoyed and said, "Master, her old man is in Luoyang City, if I don't go back for a while, she will come to find her, and I won't help if she wants to kill you when the time comes." ”
"Oh." Han Jian thought for a moment, "Then let her do it." Happy to die with you. ”
Ke Qu'er said: "My master is going to kill you, how can you die together?" ”
Han Jian pretended to be a little sad and said: "You and I have one heart, are you willing to live if I die?" ”
Ke Qu'er said angrily: "Who is rare about you! Fast...... Let me go! ”
Han Jian also felt that Ke Qu'er was a little duplicitous, he would never stop, but halfway through, he naturally had to stop. Because he saw the person Ke Qu'er was talking about, a dark shadow, quickly flying over the roofs of the houses on both sides of the street, chasing straight after.
Originally, the best thing to do was to ride away quickly, but he knew that he was facing a master like Satani. It's useless to just think about escaping. When he has guards by his side, he may be able to use the large number of people to maneuver around Zuo Gu, or if there is a person with good martial arts like Fa or Song Zhi'er to protect him, the chances of victory will be greater. When he was the only one, he still broke off the idea of resisting as soon as possible. Master Zuo Gu's martial arts path is very strange, but it is difficult to distinguish friend or foe from him. Now she is in her own hands, or she can take advantage of her relationship with Ke Qu'er.
"Yes...... Is my master here? Although Ke Qu'er turned her back to the direction from which Zuo Gu Shangren came, she could also roughly perceive this abnormal atmosphere.
Originally, he was still shouting to go down, but now he is also a little worried.
"I guess so." Han Jian could only roughly see the outline of the person who came, it should be a woman, he was not familiar with the Venerable Zuo Gu, and he was not familiar with that breath.
"Quick, help me up."
Ke Qu'er kicked her legs just now, she was not used to lying on horseback like this. After being helped up straight by Han Jian, she looked in the direction of the person who came. At this time, the Venerable Zuo Gu was already standing on the roof of the building opposite, looking at the two people riding below, but he didn't say anything.
"Senior, it's been a long time." Han Jian grabbed Ke Qu'er's body, lifted the reins of the horse and hugged his fist.
Master Zuo Gu didn't say anything, but Ke Qu'er's body trembled slightly, and said, "Master...... In vain you did not complete what you told you to do. ”
Zuo Gu said: "Did you still put yourself in it?" ”
This was to the point, and Ke Qu'er lowered her head with a look of admitting her mistake.
Han Jian said loudly: "The seniors should know that my disciples and I are sincere. Please forgive me. It's not that I deliberately embarrass my predecessors. ”
Han Jian deliberately said that his voice was very loud, and he was also delaying time. Since the Shotani didn't do it right away, he had to wait for the patrol to arrive. In order to prevent the surprise attack of Yuzhou soldiers and horses on Luoyang, martial law has been imposed in the city, and there are officials and messengers at large and small intersections to set up cards, the main purpose is to check the spies in the city. And there will be people from the Terracotta Division patrolling the city, not for a while. Someone should come over, and when he has manpower, he is no longer afraid that the people of Zuogu will mess around.
"Let's go!" The Shotani suddenly greeted.
Ke Qu'er was slightly surprised, and looked up at Zuo Gu Shangren, how could she not dare to disobey her master's orders in the past. But this time, being held in Han Jian's arms, she wanted to settle down from the bottom of her heart, and she didn't want to live a life of licking blood from the knife edge anymore. The reason why she fell in love with Han Jian was not only because Han Jian would coax her regardless of her identity, but also because Han Jian could give her a stable enough life and make her forget those grievances on the rivers and lakes. A young daughter's family, when she was young, she may want to fly far, but she has also gradually grown up and understood the importance of a stable life.
But let Ke Qu'er openly say no to the Venerable Zuo Gu, she didn't have the confidence in her heart.
Han Jian felt Ke Qu'er's hand holding her hand, and he understood in his heart, and said loudly: "Senior, the noble apprentice will not go with you." It would be better to ask the seniors to leave alone. ”
Although he knew that saying this might annoy Zuo Gu Shangren, Han Jian still did not hesitate to say it. After hearing this, Ke Qu'er turned her head slightly to look at Han Jian, her expression was full of emotion and self-blame, as if she couldn't stay with Han Jian for a long time because of her own reasons.
Originally, I thought that Satani would be annoyed and solve it by force, but suddenly Satani didn't say anything, and jumped directly from the roof to the back and disappeared. Han Jian didn't expect this situation.
Ke Qu'er seemed to react and said, "It seems that someone is coming." ”
"Huh?"
After all, Han Jian didn't have Ke Qu'er's good skills and exploration power, and only then did he feel that it was indeed like a master approaching this side. He didn't know who it was.
"I ...... Let me go. Ke Qu'er said suddenly.
"What's wrong?" Han Jian couldn't help frowning.
"The master is in danger, I ...... I can't leave it alone. ”
Han Jian also probably understood that since those mysterious people did not come forward, it meant that these people were not targeting him, but Zuo Gu Shangren. These people may have followed the traces of the Zuogu Shangren to Luoyang, and they also had to deal with the Shangren of Zuogu. As for who it is, Han Jian can't think of it for the time being. He knew before that the Zuogu Shangren were related to many secret organizations in the rivers and lakes, including the old department of Prince Yan Ning, and the biggest enemy of the Zuogu Shangren before was Yang Rui. But after Yang Rui became pregnant, it seemed that he had relaxed his pursuit of Zuo Gu's master, at least Han Jian sent people to stare at the palace and didn't see Yang Rui wanting to leave.
"Don't worry, someone will help you!"
Han Jian said, looking at a group of officers and soldiers holding torches in the distance.
These officers and soldiers are not as simple as patrolling, it should be that the previous meeting between Han Jian and Ke Qu'er was reported back to the Dongwang Mansion. Han Song was afraid that something would happen and sent soldiers and horses to protect him, because these people also included Song Zhi'er and other disciples of the Shangqing Palace who were sent by Yang Rui to protect his safety before.
"Young boy." Song Zhier and others have already stepped forward.
Han Jian pointed in the direction where Master Zuo Gu had left and said, "You guys go and see what's going on?" If someone is not doing enough to a woman in black, remember to help! ”
"Yes!" Several female disciples of the Shangqing Palace had already mounted their horses and left. And Song Zhi'er stayed with several female disciples to escort Han Jian back to the Dongwang Mansion.
When Song Zhi'er found out that she was being held on horseback by Han Jian, it was Ke Qu'er, who was once unfavorable to Han Jian and her martial arts were not inferior to her, as if she was jealous. The eyes can no longer be separated from Ke Qu'er's face. Ke Qu'er also puffed up her chest as if demonstrating, and put her hand on the hand that Han Jian held in front of her, with a look of "I'm like this, you're going to beat me".
Han Jian had no intention of paying attention to this, and even if he found out, he wouldn't pay attention to it. Song Zhi'er was interested in him, he knew it when he was ten years old, and it was a bit out of place to worry about it now.
The officers and soldiers protected Han Jian in the middle, after all, Han Jian did not have clairvoyance and did not know the situation on the other side of the house. Finally, he retracted his gaze and said "go back", and a team of people escorted him in the direction of Dongwangfu.
"I ...... I can't rest assured of the master. Ke Qu'er said worriedly.
"Someone helps. You don't have to worry too much. ”
Han Jian walked halfway, but he also felt that just carrying Ke Qu'er back to the house seemed to cause unrest in the mansion again. Han Song's attitude towards Ke Qu'er is very clear, a reckless woman must not enter the East Palace, even Ke Qu'er was a little ashamed of herself before, she also knows that the status of this world is clear, if she is a woman of ordinary people, it is almost impossible to enter the East Palace, not to mention that she is not from the Northern Dynasty. There is also the background of rivers and lakes.
But Han Jian still didn't change his original intention, and waited until he returned to the East Palace. There was already a group of people waiting in front of the mansion, and it was the head of the intelligence system, Onishi Yanagi.
Seeing Han Jian, Da Xiliu turned over and dismounted, knelt down on one knee and saluted: "Young boy, the identity of the person who came has been ascertained, and someone is being sent to intercept it." ”
"Good. Don't be embarrassed by the Shotani Master. As for the others...... Han Jian paused, he was also wondering whether those people were friends or foes, "Don't care." Jianghu affairs, if you can not provoke, you will not provoke. ”
"Yes."
Onishiyanagi got back on his horse and hurriedly left with the people. Soon the people from the city defense yamen also sent people over. In short, the chaos in the city is a big deal in everyone's eyes, and they all need to come over and ask Han Jian what to do. As for whether anyone went to the palace to ask Yang Rui for instructions, Han Jian didn't know for the time being, but people who wanted to come to the imperial court faction would do the same. But Yang Rui does not have military power in his hands, and Yang Rui said before that he didn't want to see him, so naturally he won't pull down his face and invite him into the palace.
After arranging everything, Han Jian dismounted, and helped Ke Qu'er to dismount.
A woman in black was held by Han Jian in public like this, and she was very affectionately helped off the horse, even if others didn't know Ke Qu'er's exact identity, they also knew that the relationship between this woman and Han Jian was not ordinary.
Han Jian took Ke Qu'er's hand and entered the mansion, and Han Song was already waiting in a hurry.
"Athlete, you can be counted as ......"
Han Songshi went out of the door, and stopped talking halfway through her words, because she saw that the person standing next to Han Jian was Ke Qu'er, who she had gone to talk to in the past.
For the first time, Ke Qu'er made up her mind to stay with Han Jian, but it was precisely because of Han Song's obstruction that Ke Qu'er left in shame.
"Erniang rest assured, it's nothing, it's just that some people in the rivers and lakes are fighting with grudges and bringing things to the capital. This is Qu'er, Erniang should have seen it, no need to introduce it. Han Jian said.
Han Songshi sneered slightly: "I'm afraid there is no wind and no waves, Miss Ke?" ”
Ke Qu'er lowered her head, but her body was slightly close to Han Jian, as if she wanted Han Jian to be her shield.
Han Jian said: "Erniang should know the identity and background of Master Qu'er, now that the Southern Wangfu intends to send troops to capture Luoyang, if a friendly relationship is established with Qu'er's master, it should be of great benefit to the current situation." ”
"Oh?"
Han Songshi was stunned, and soon she understood what Han Jian was talking about.
The fact that the Zuogu Master kidnapped Yang Luochuan's son Yang Yu is well known to the world, Yang Luochuan has many heirs, but there is only Yang Yu in law, and Yang Yu is the grandson of Huang Shilang, the Marquis of Zhennan. If Han Jian can use Yang Yu as a hostage to negotiate with Yuzhou, Yang Luochuan will have to take into account the reaction of Zhennanhou even if he doesn't care about his son's life and death. Even if it can't be exchanged for Yuzhou's withdrawal in the end, it can at least delay time and create an opportunity for Lin Zhan and Su Tingxia's soldiers and horses to withdraw to Luoyang.
Han Jian said: "Erniang went back to rest earlier, as for Qu'er will also live in the Dongwang Mansion, there is nothing wrong with Erniang, right?" ”
When it comes to political matters, Han Songshi wants to obstruct it, but he also feels that he seems to be interfering too much. Now Han Jian has a feeling of pressing her with a big event, obviously Han Jian wants to take Ke Qu'er into the mansion, but what he said is related to the safety of Yuzhou soldiers and horses and even Luoyang, she thinks about it, she can't lose a big one because of a small thing, even if she is disgusted with Ke Qu'er, it seems that she is not in a hurry for a while, it is better to wait and see if she can ask Yang Yu to come over with the Zuo Gu master.
"Good. However, ......" Han Song nodded first, but then said, "There must be no transgression." You understand. ”
Ke Qu'er looked at Han Jian with some puzzlement, Han Jian smiled and nodded, "Understood." ”
Only then did Han Songshi relent, and asked people to prepare a room for Ke Qu'er to live in.
Han Songshi said: "The matter of the soldiers and horses of the Southern King coming to Luoyang, Qian'er already knows, since you are back, should you go to accompany Qi'er?" As for Miss Ke's affairs, I won't interfere too much, but you must not make promises either. If something really happens, don't say that Erniang is ruthless! ”
As he spoke, he glared at Ke Qu'er, who bit her lower lip and lowered her head again.
A strong little girl, she has not suffered as much humiliation in her life as she has in front of her, but she still swallows her anger, on the one hand, because she can't give up Han Jian, and because this is the guarantee of her life. She's past the age of being a pusher.
"Qu'er, you go to rest first, and I'll accompany you later." Han Jian said.
Ke Qu'er's face was a little red, thinking of what Han Jian said about "accompanying", she had some expectations in her heart. But she obviously didn't understand what Han Song's "transgression" meant.
asked Ke Qu'er to take her to rest, and Han Jian hurriedly entered the inner courtyard and saw Yang Li'er.
Yang Li'er, who has always been indisputable, saw Han Jian but directly took Han Jian's hand, and said eagerly: "Xianggong, what's wrong?" Father he...... Haven't you been in the capital all along? (To be continued......)
