Chapter 264 Gathering Together(1/2)
When Hou Qiyun first received the news, his heart skipped a beat, and he was a little afraid of seeing Emperor Liang De.
After leaving Golmud, my breathing became smoother and my speech became much fluent.
Hou Qiyun immediately looked at He Songning leaning on the pillow in the carriage and suggested: "I see Mr. Xue's injury is very serious, so I'm afraid you have to walk slowly along the way..."
As the patient himself, He Songning said, "No, leave quickly."
Hou Qiyun wrinkled an old face, unable to see through his thoughts: "Aren't Mr. Xue afraid that his sanctions will worsen on the way?"
He Songning looked at him and asked, "Why did General Hou forget to be a minister when he received the imperial edict, will he fight back desperately regardless of life or death?"
"You... are saying it." Hou Qiyun's face changed, and he felt even more surprised.
How come such a young man who has just entered the officialdom has such a mind?
He understood He Songning's intention.
If you can't do good things, it's because you are not capable of doing it.
If you delay your attitude when you admit your mistakes, you will have a different attitude. To put it bluntly, you will disrespect Your Majesty and ignore the majesty of the imperial power.
The former still has a chance to survive, while the latter may really be cut off.
Hou Qiyun shuddered, turned his head and sighed, "I'm old, old..."
He Songning's tone was cold: "I'm old, General Hou is so timid, how can he be invincible?"
After hearing this, Hou Qiyun felt a little worried. He thought to himself that even if you are Princess Xuan’s brother, you are young and only serve as a marching squad in the army. He is a sergeant. How dare you comment on me like this?
"Young Master Xue..." Hou Qiyun had just started to face He Songning's cold and gloomy gaze.
Obviously, He Songning was not afraid of him at all.
Not only is he not afraid, but he also has the attitude of suppressing him.
He Songning said: "You are afraid of death, you should be a smart person. If you go back on this trip, if you want to escape from your sins, you may have to rely on me."
After hearing this, Hou Qiyun burst into blood in his chest and shouted: "Young boy, why are you so angry?"
"Because you looked forward and took the wrong treasure on King Wei, now in order to get rid of the crime, I want to please King Xuan, right? But does King Xuan need you? Does he look down on you? At that time, the army was flooded and the food was destroyed. You are
How did you ask King Xuan for food and grass? When King Wei was captured, how did you come to the door with a shameless face, bring out the righteousness of brothers and sisters, and force King Xuan to go out to save people?" He Songning said one by one like a series of cannons.
Hou Qiyun was exposed and had no face left. Suddenly, the face was blue and purple. He wanted to jump up and kill He Songning.
But in the end, he just squeezed out a sentence from his throat: "You don't have to do this... Just say it directly, what do you want to do? You are King Xuan's brother-in-law. Is this to teach me a lesson for King Xuan? Or...
…”
Hou Qiyun paused: "Do you have any other plans?"
He was just dragged down by his temperament, not really stupid. The people in front of him said everything, so Hou Qiyun certainly made some speculations.
"Come here." He Songning leaned firmly there, and only raised his chin to Hou Qiyun.
In an instant, Hou Qiyun felt as if he had seen a little momentum that only those who were superiors had, or even a little...the shadow of the emperor.
Ten days passed in a blink of an eye.
The army of King Xuan walked across the Tuo River and saw the royal city of the Meng Dynasty getting closer...
He Songning finally arrived in the capital at this time.
Hou Qiyun couldn't help but look back at He Songning with a complicated expression.
This young man...
Now it looks half dead...
But he himself didn't care.
Such a person... is precisely the most terrifying.
"But General Hou?" Someone came up at the city gate.
Hou Qiyun calmed down his thoughts and replied, "That's right, but Your Majesty sent you to wait here? I will quickly enter the palace to meet Your Majesty."
But the man said in a cold tone: "Don't enter the palace, follow me."
Hou Qiyun's heart sank.
Could it be that even the emperor is not seen and he will be sent to prison?
It shouldn't be!
He held back and looked back at He Songning's impulse...
Hou Qiyun wanted to ask him, what if the situation did not develop as he said, what would he do?
But he knew he couldn't look back.
At this time, a veteran showed a tendency to seek help from a young official in his words and deeds. Anyone with a good eye will see something wrong.
The man seemed to care nothing about what they thought, and he turned over and led the way.
Hou Qiyun was stunned: "Why are you going out of the city?"
The man said, "The army stayed outside the city, General Hou and Mr. Xue followed me."
Hou Qiyun couldn't, so he could only press down on his anxiety.
He Songning's carriage was naturally followed closely.
On the other side, Liu Yuerong is also preparing to go out.
She asked the maid around her: "How is my mother's illness?"
The maid lowered her head and said, "It's not a good idea, I've changed three doctors."
"Then send the imperial doctor from the King of Wei's mansion to him..."
The maid said, "The princess brought some servants from her parents' house to the prince's mansion, which caused rumors..."
"What rumors? It's just that old lady with a broken mouth is just talking nonsense all day long. Now that she's gone, who else dares to talk about it?" Liu Yuerong said unhappily.
But she said this, but she knew in her heart that after Madam Xiao was executed in public that day, the atmosphere in the palace became more tense and strange. When the palace servants saw her, they were afraid that they would be more respectful.
But what is the relationship?
Wouldn't it be better to stand up?
Liu Yuerong looked at her dowry maid, and she lowered her head and didn't say anything. Liu Yuerong suddenly felt irritated and even had an incredible guess... Her mother, she was not interested in separating her relationship with her after the failure to assassinate Qiao Xinyu.
Bar?
Liu Yuerong suddenly felt even more irritable.
Thinking of Qiao Xinyu not returning to her house until now, she told her to put her attitude into the air... Even Liu Yuerong was worried that Qiao Xinyu had sued her in front of the emperor...
In short, it is not going well everywhere.
There was no such thing as expected in the smooth and complacent.
Liu Yuerong let out a heavy sigh: "Father ordered me to go and have dinner with me... so go there earlier."
She thought to herself that at least this honor can still be taken.
For a time, people from all walks of life rushed to the villages of the city.
How could this little villager have ever accommodated so many noble people at the same time?
Before some guests got close, they felt the excitement and the murderous aura of heavy troops outside the village...
"Today the village will not accept foreign guests." The people in the village had to wait a hundred meters away, just waiting to reject the guests who came to the door today.
These guests are smart, so how could they have the opportunity to act arrogantly under the emperor?
Looking at the attitude of Zhuangzi outside, they are definitely not something they can offend.
So the only person asked a few more questions: "I dare to ask which distinguished guest is today?"
The man on the village raised his mouth and tried his best to hold a heart that he wanted to show off. He just pretended to be calm and said: "You are very knowledgeable and should be able to see it."
Fortunately, Xue Qingyin told them before leaving that if the emperor came, he would definitely not be able to mention it to others. What others saw by themselves was nothing to them.
Otherwise, the emperor's whereabouts will be revealed, and if an assassination occurs, the nine tribes will have to be unlucky at that time.
At this time, Hou Qiyun arrived first, and he said in a daze: "What is this place? There are so many people around, but they seem to be having a banquet."
The other guests took a look.
Wow!
Isn’t this the Old General Hou? Why did you come back from Yizhou?
At this time, He Songning also raised the curtain and looked out, and was stunned.
He pointed at Zhuangzi and asked, "Is it here?"
The lead man replied coldly: "Well, follow me in."
This room comes in front of the door.
The carriage from the Wei Prince's Mansion has also arrived.
To be continued...
