Chapter two hundred and seven determination
"Nothing!"
Amid the lights, Zhang Lihua stood up. She looked at her son behind the desk for a moment, pinching the silk handkerchief with her fingertips, and her tone still slowed down.
"Although the late emperor was not killed by him, it has something to do after all. If Your Majesty goes to him, how should Your Majesty speak to the ministers below?"
"this…"
Chen Jing stared at the Long case and piles of approval documents, "How did the father and Mr. Lu have a grudge? Do you know about the queen?"
"I don't know." Zhang Lihua on the other side hesitated for a moment, sat back on the chair, and slightly turned her eyes away.
"I don't know." Chen Jing took a breath, pressed his hand on the table and stood up, looking at his mother: "I was still the prince who lived in the East Palace that day, and there was a demonic entry into the room at night. If it weren't for the jade pendant that Mr. Lu gave me, I would have been gone long ago. What kind of resentment does the father and Mr. Lu have? I don't want to ask again at this moment, I just want to go to Qixia Mountain to invite him out of the mountain."
Zhang Lihua looked at her son who was still a little embarrassed and sighed: "But the death of his father has always been related to him. Now the Sui Dynasty is newly established in the north, and the preparations are about to go south. Jing'er, if you leave the capital, you may be quarrel with all officials."
"If I am gone, why are you afraid of quarrels?"
The young emperor was also a little anxious, knocked his hand on the table and walked out of the dragon case: "Mother, I have to do this because the soldiers of the Northern Dynasties have not yet arrived south."
The bronze lamppost and the fire swayed quietly in the voices. Zhang Lihua and her son looked at each other for a moment and turned their face aside.
"Go, go, mom will ask your uncle Chen Fu to take care of the situation in the capital. Oh... If your father treats his subjects so diligently... Forget it, mom won't say it anymore. Anyway, bring more guards when you go out, go and go early and come back soon."
The young emperor's dragon sleeves were blown away from each other, bowed to his mother opposite, and gave a family tribute.
"Take care of your mother!"
"So too."
After some advice, Zhang Lihua left with the palace maid and eunuch to prepare for the emperor's trip. Chen Jing returned to the Dragon Case, let go, and rubbed the Pisces Jade Pendant broken in half on the table.
"Mr. Lu..."
The next day, the sky was still in a state of darkness. The side gate of the imperial city quietly opened. A team of dozens of people spread across the palace road. The streets and the south gate of the outer city received a message early to open the city gate and let the team out of the city.
"Driving!Driving!"
With loud shouts, dozens of guards in casual clothes ran along the official road along the official road. They were all very skilled in martial arts in the palace. They knew the road from which road to Hegu County and Fushui County, and were prepared before departure.
However, considering that the emperor was still young and could not withstand the toss and worries, the guards in the team stopped the team to rest every fifty miles. Two consecutive times, Chen Jing gritted his teeth and insisted on resting for eighty miles.
"Time is tight, I can't waste time on the road!"
In such words, dozens of people and horses were not slow. They rushed to the morning, took an hour off at noon, and continued in the afternoon. When night fell, they stayed in nearby villages and temples. They had originally traveled for more than ten days, but arrived at the junction of Fushui County in seven days, only four or five miles away from the city.
In the afternoon, Chen Jing entered the county government office, changed his clothes, took the officer who recognized the road, passed through the bustling long street, and rushed to Qixia Mountain with a fast horse and whipped it.
After leaving the county town, the winding mountains were filled with golden colors, and the official roads were filled with vendors, with horse-drawn carriages and donkey carriages coming and going. In the fields on both sides, when it was the harvest season, clusters of millet and rice crops were placed on the ground from the farmers' hands, and the children were barefoot on the ridge of the field, clamping mud and playing with smiles.
It is like a paradise, without any influence from the coming war.
Following this road, crossing a small river, behind several raised mountains, the fields of Lujia Village, and the spiritual energy in the water irrigated, the crops were ripe early and harvested into various barns in advance. In the slack farming, a group of big men either flipped the soil in the fields or followed Lu Pan to the mountain to make some wild game. Well, bats don't eat them.
Most women tailor clothes at home and take care of their children. Sometimes they would shout at the blind old man who set up a stall in the shabby area.
"Wang Banyan, do you think about when will they go down the mountain today? I can cook."
The thick woman who bit off the needle and thread shouted at the young wife who was shouting, "How long have you been gone? I miss a man? When the lights blow at night, it's not enough for you to slut."
The young wife blushed when she was told, and Wang Banzai, who was setting up a stall, just sat there with a smile. He liked to listen to women of all sizes in the village here to say dirty words.
‘In another day, I will become a disciple. Those three young men are so lucky. At that time, I will come over and light incense and worship him... Let’s get the incense together first...’
Behind him, a mud road went in. In the fenced courtyard, Lu Laoshi led out his strong donkey and looked at the empty donkey shed. He didn't know where his son's donkey head ran to the wild, and only the reins were hung on the wooden stakes.
"Liangsheng, you are not afraid of the old donkey running away. You are running around the mountains and are careful to be eaten by the wolf in the mountains."
No one in the room there responded. Li Jinhua, who was sitting under the eaves, was tying Mingyue's body and raised her face to look at her husband.
"Liangsheng, Taoist, and the fat monk went to the west mountain. He was not at home. He quickly ground the beans and came back early, so don't let donkeys everywhere."
Lu Laoshi looked at the pink little man in his wife's arms and sighed.
...It would be great if our Lu family had such a child.
He led the donkey out of the yard. There was a squeak in the house behind him. Yuwen Tuo glanced at the woman and Mingyue over there, touched the face clearly, and bared his teeth and inhaled in pain.
‘He raises ghosts and respects monsters as masters. Mr. Lu doesn’t look like a master. He will leave quickly while they are not here.’
On the way here, I had such thoughts. Unfortunately, the fat monk was so nervous that he couldn't leave even if he wanted to. The opportunity was right. Seeing that the woman there was concentrating on combing the child's hair, she opened the door open and walked out.
He whispered: "I'll go to the village to have some breath."
Li Jinhua would not stop him there, but she would still give some advice.
"Don't go up the mountain indiscriminately, there are many wild animals in the mountains."
"knew."
Yuwen Tuo nodded and responded, walked out of the yard gate, loosened his tight fists, and his feet speed increased. He bypassed the crowded dam, climbed over the fence, and quickly penetrated into the forest as if he broke free from a cage, preparing to go up to the mud path ahead and follow the road until he entered the city.
‘What other experts are you talking about? I can’t even see my thoughts… Go back to the north first, I don’t know how many people there are in my Northern Zhou royal family.”
Perhaps in this way, when he opened a grass, the young man stopped his hands and his feet, and his expression was stunned.
In front, an old donkey was gnawing at the bush, shaking his long ears to look over.
call…
On the donkey's head, a short body clattered at the small cigarette pole, exhaling a breath of smoke and slowly turning around the toad's face.
"I offended me and still want to leave?"
