Chapter 679 Life experience
In the largest guest house on the east side of Honglu Temple, Xie Jingchen was sitting upright above the living room, holding a cup of tea and looking carefully, his eyes were empty and full of worry.
Counting the days, it's time for Xiao Zhizhi to enter Beijing.
Uncle Xie Liushu and Li Shiyao on the side both stared at him sullenly, not knowing what His Highness the Crown Prince was thinking.
After pondering for a long time, Uncle Xie Liu finally couldn't bear the loneliness in the hall, and said dissatisfiedly: "Our Baiyu Mission has been in Beijing for seven or eight days, and the emperor of the Dahe Empire has neither summoned nor sent people to discuss peace talks. What's the point of this?"
Hearing Sixth Uncle Xie's complaint, Xie Jingchen finally raised his head, and replied with a smile: "They should be anxious, we just need to wait patiently."
As soon as the voice fell, there was a noise outside the guest house.
Several people stood up immediately, only to see Ji Cen'an leading a group of sergeants walking in with a solemn face.
"Commander Ji, what does this mean?"
Uncle Sixth Xie watched the people who came in vigilantly.
"Thank you, Prince, I offended you."
Ji Cen'an clasped his hands and said, "Someone reported that your country sent spies to harass our empire's borders and incite civil strife in our dynasty. Your Majesty has an order. Just in case, please return the diplomatic mission to temporarily stay in Honglu Temple and not go out at will. "
"What, it makes no sense."
Uncle Xie said angrily: "I came to the capital of your country for peace talks with the crown prince, how could I do such unrighteous things again and put myself in prison."
Paused, he looked at Ji Cen'an angrily, and roared wildly: "Which traitor wants to trap me, which is unrighteous? Please tell Commander Ji clearly."
"Your Highness Sixth, there is no need to panic. I have also said this matter, but it is just a stopgap measure."
Ji Cen'an glanced at Xie Jingchen inadvertently, knowing that he had some crooked thoughts about Chu Nanzhi, anyway, this matter was also advised by his brother and sister-in-law, so he deliberately said clearly:
"To be honest, the current disaster in Changning County has affected several counties. According to reports from Malai, your country's army has also arrived at the border. King Pingning was ordered to go to the conquest, so Princess Pingning personally reported to Her Majesty to suspend the peace talks."
"Princess Pingning?"
"Little Zhizhi?"
Everyone was surprised.
Xie Jingchen shook his head in disbelief and said, "Impossible. Princess Pingning knows the general situation best. How could she suggest stopping the peace talks at this juncture?"
"What is impossible."
Li Shiyao's eyes were full of anger: "This woman is a wolf-hearted dog, how can she remember His Highness the Crown Prince well?"
"Stop talking nonsense."
Xie Jingchen immediately stopped Li Shiyao, looked at Ji Cen'an with gentle eyes, and said in a gentle voice: "Commander Ji, where is Princess Pingning now, I know that you have always had a good relationship with that Prince Pingning, if peace talks cannot be reached now, The situation in Pingning Prefecture is not optimistic, Commander Ji should be well aware of this, how could Princess Pingning come up with such a strategy?"
Although he already guessed in his heart that Xiao Zhizhi wanted to detain him to prevent his father from sending troops, but he still didn't believe that Xiao Zhizhi would use him so cruelly.
Besides, the sincerity of her peace talks can be learned from the world, and she came to Jingling City in person. Naturally, she would not play any dirty tricks. She shouldn't distrust herself so much.
Seeing that he was unwilling to give up, Ji Cen'an smiled coldly and said, "Prince Xie, Princess Pingning did this for the safety of you and the mission of your country. I heard that your elder brother does not agree with this peace talk. , so that the emperor of your country can make the right decision and protect the safety of Prince Xie."
Xie Jingchen listened, then looked at the densely packed sergeants outside the courtyard, and had no choice but to sit down.
"This damned woman."
Uncle Xie gritted his teeth angrily and secretly clenched his fists.
Fortunately, I took people to Haikang County to rescue her.
It's just that I have come to Jingling City, and now I can only be manipulated by others.
As night fell, in Zhaochun Palace, Chu Nanzhi led Sang Qi to the bedroom that Yin Enci had prepared for their master and servant.
The old ancestor was happy with the quadruplets, so he kept the little ones in his bedroom after dinner.
Taking advantage of the fact that there were only their master and servant in the inner room, and they had to rest, Chu Nanzhi asked Sang Qi straightforwardly about what Sang Kun had explained: "Sang Qi, your brother said that if we encounter difficulties in Beijing, I can find you, are you really so powerful?"
"The master was joking, how can the slaves have such great abilities."
Sang Qi replied with a smile: "Brother is a sensible person, the master is pregnant now, and should have stayed in Luyan Port to enjoy family happiness with the lord, His Royal Highness, and the little princesses, but at this time he chose to go to Beijing. A last resort."
"That boring gourd knows me very well."
Thinking of Sang Kun's calm and restrained handsome appearance, Chu Nanzhi felt extremely at ease in his heart.
Sang Qi said again with a smile: "Although the servant girl is dull, she can also guess what the master and elder brother are thinking. Now that the situation in Pingning Prefecture is difficult, the master must have come to Beijing to help the emperor and the ancestors stabilize the situation in Beijing."
"So what your brother said should be to deal with King Qinghe for me, right?"
Chu Nanzhi looked directly at her firmly.
Sang Qi appreciated and respected this woman from the bottom of her heart, and replied without any concealment: "If the master needs it, the servant will definitely do it with all his strength."
"It seems that you brothers and sisters are really not ordinary people."
Chu Nanzhi sat up, pulled her to the edge of the bed and sat down, and urged her with a smile, "My dear Sang Qi, so you are going to reveal your brother and sister's identities to me now, right?"
Sang Qi's eyes darkened, and she nodded heavily: "Master, although my brother and I have concealed some things from you, it is true as we said when we met you. We have been living in the territory of the Dahe Empire since we were young."
Bi-color pupils blinked slightly, and Sang Qi said attentively:
"Back then, I accompanied my mother and concubine back to my grandmother's house to visit relatives. On the way back, I encountered an ambush by Sang Yan, the only son born to my father's favored concubine Longliang. My mother and concubine died tragically under Sang Yan's horse's hoof to save me. I escaped back to the tribal palace. Wanting to identify the enemy, not only did not gain the trust of the father, but was framed by the mother and son of the Longliang family, and almost died. He was rescued secretly."
"I see."
Chu Nanzhi sighed in his heart.
I didn't expect Sang Kun to be so courageous.
At that time, their brothers and sisters were only a few years old, and they were able to avenge their mother.
"Then what happened next?"
Chu Nanzhi stared at her and asked impatiently.
"Later, the wet nurse took us, brother and sister, and fled all the way to the territory of the Dahe Empire."
Sang Qi smiled wryly and sighed: "Not long after arriving in the territory of the Dahe Empire, the nurse died of illness. My brother and I depended on each other for life. We were sold by human teeth for more than ten years. We didn't live a stable life until we met the owner. day."
"With me here, I will never let you and Sang Kun be taken away again."
Chu Nanzhi hugged her tightly, and comforted her softly: "Now your lord is no longer the little county magistrate when we first met. When I return to Luyan Port, I will ask him to give you two brothers and sisters a letter of benefactor. In the future, if you want to stay in the Dahe Empire, you don't have to hide anymore, I will give you two brothers and sisters each a family property."
When the master mentioned this matter, Sang Qi was quite moved.
Having served so many masters, I have never met someone as kind-hearted as her. She not only gives them a lot of money every month, but also buys property for their brothers and sisters.
It is a great fortune to meet such a master, but I no longer have this blessing.
