Chapter 199: Daughter from the Dust
"Does that mean we don't have to go to Qigong?" Sima Yi asked hurriedly.
"Our itinerary remains unchanged. The purpose of our trip is to take the prince back safely. We don't need to worry about other things for the time being." Han Jian said.
Sima Ya sighed helplessly. He knew that it was a difficult job to go to the Southern Qi Dynasty. Now the Wei Dynasty might go to war with the Qi Dynasty, so they still have to go on an envoy. That would be like sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth?
Han Jian knew in his heart that this battle could not be fought. Originally, the empress sent Yang Xi to Southern Qi, and was ready to be a proton. Southern Qi just naturally accepted the empress's "good intention". Since this is the case, the diplomatic dispute between the two countries was just to show others, making people think that there would be a major dispute between the two countries and arouse a patriotic enthusiasm among the two peoples.
The final result will be heavy thunder and light rain.
Han Jian was also a little tired on the day of the trip. He was about to go back to his room to rest, but he heard Ke Qu'er shouting, "You are going to be on a mission, what should I do?"
Han Jian then remembered that there was a Ke Qu'er in the team. Ke Qu'er was as obedient as a kitten along the way, and it would make people ignore her.
"When we go on a mission, you will naturally have to go with us, unless..." Han Jian smiled and did not continue.
At this time, Yi Die, who went to Dingzhou City in advance to contact the rebellious party organization, came back in a hurry. As soon as he entered the inn, he deliberately wanted to talk to Han Jian alone.
When Ke Qu'er saw her sister Lin coming back, she felt very comforted. She hadn't seen Yi Die in the past two days. She thought Yi Die had encountered an accident or Yi Die left her and left. Now Yi Die is back, it is likely that she will bring some news about her master. It may also save her.
"Ms. Lin entered the room and spoke." Han Jian glanced at Ke Qu'er, smiled slightly and said to Yi Die.
Yi Die didn't say much, and followed Han Jian into the house. Ke Qu'er saw Yi Die entering the house, but she didn't know what was saying inside. Then, she was escorted to her "prisoner" by Fa Yi, completely isolated from the world outside the house.
Just when Ke Qu'er was worried about what news Yi Die brought back, Yi Die got off the upstairs and came to the temporary prison room.
"The little woman got permission from the Dong Wang to talk to Miss Ke." Yi Die said to Fa Yi, who blocked her way.
"Yeah." Fa Yi nodded and let Yi Die enter the house.
"Sister Lin. You're here. Have you seen my master?" As soon as Yi Die came in, Ke Qu'er asked hurriedly.
"Yes." Yi Die said, "Zuo Gu will come to talk to the East King in a few days. At that time, sister, you may leave safely."
When Ke Qu'er heard this news, she was so happy that she was so happy. She was a prisoner for so many days and was transferred for thousands of miles away. She finally had the opportunity to restore her freedom. But when she thought that her master wanted to negotiate with the East King in person, Ke Qu'er became worried about her master again.
Ke Qu'er thought to herself: "That bad guy is so cunning. It will also win people's hearts. There will definitely be danger when the master comes."
Thinking of this, Ke Qu'er couldn't figure out why she felt that the bad guy was very good at bribing people's hearts. After thinking about it in detail, she still couldn't figure it out. She just felt that the person was not bad if he wanted to say bad, but then she felt that he was so bad.
When Ke Qu'er knew that her master was coming to pick her up, Ke Qu'er felt at ease. In the next few days, Ke Qu'er didn't struggle and was her "princess". Every day, she could lie on the silk quilt and sleep. When she was hungry, she not only had vegetarian food but also meat food, and she would eat whatever she wanted. When she was full, she also had fruits. When she was thirsty, she not only had ice water from tribute, but also had iced juice. It was so delicious that she couldn't live without her for a moment. When she felt bored, Wen'er played cards with her...
After a few days, Ke Qu'er suddenly realized that it would be great if she lived this kind of life for a long time, at least she didn't have to fight and kill every day. But she felt that something seemed to be missing in this life, and it wouldn't be realistic to live with Wen'er and Fa Yi for so long.
It was not until a long time later that she suddenly realized that this kind of comfortable life that made her yearn for was just a lack of a man who cherished her. With such a person, her life was perfect.
Han Jian did not choose the straight road from Dingzhou, but chose to go around the long road and deliberately avoid the territory of the Southern King. Walking like this would mean walking more than 200 miles.
Han Jian chose to break the road, mainly because he wanted to get close to his own territory. If there was any sudden situation, such as the sudden war between the Wei and Qi dynasties, he could respond quickly. After more than ten days, it took them ten days to approach the southern Qi territory after the beginning of July. If they went more than a hundred miles ahead, they would arrive at Yangzhou, a military city in Jiangbei.
This place is only more than 300 miles away from Jiangdu. Han Jian even thought it would be a good choice to go directly to Jiangdu to the northeast. Even if he went to Southern Qi, he would not have a great chance of taking Yang Xi back. Instead, it would probably make him trapped in an enemy camp. Thinking about going to the enemy country as a hostage, that kind of life is really boring. However, when the two countries are fighting, the envoys will always receive some special protection, and this time he may not be too dangerous. After all, he is just the King of the Eastern Kingdoms, not the prince of the Wei Dynasty.
That night, Ke Qu'er was having supper, and Wen'er was talking to her with a smile. Han Jian and Sima Yu brought people in. When Ke Qu'er saw these people looking murderous, she thought she wanted to pull herself out and behead her.
"Miss Ke, Master Ling has been waiting for a long time. We will send you here to meet Master Ling." Han Jian said with a smile.
Ke Qu'er felt something was wrong when she heard this and thought to herself, was this bad guy's implicit intention to kill her master and send me to the underworld?
With an uneasy heart, Ke Qu'er was escorted by Fa Yi to a receptionist pavilion more than a mile away from the inn. Before she could reach the pavilion, Ke Qu'er saw the bright lights there. She knew it was the light of torches. Judging from the number of torches, there would be no fewer people there.
Ke Qu'er really hoped that those who came to save her, but she also knew that the possibility was very low. After all, the rebels acted in secret. There were many times when they were acting secretly. There were so many people who came to such a big fan and were still receiving such a conspicuous place in Guanting. Without the guards of the Eastern Palace, even the local garrison troops would not sit idly by. She thought that if the master really came, it would be very dangerous. If the master was also arrested, she would have no way to survive.
Along the way, Ke Qu'er was a little nervous and uneasy, and did not notice what Han Jian was saying. At this time, Han Jian was asking about some of the situations about Zuo Gu.
"...Master, you know Master Zuo Gu, what kind of person is she?" Han Jian asked.
Fa Yi shook her head and sighed, "I only met a few times with my master, so I can't talk about a close relationship, and I don't know much about her."
"Oh." Han Jian sighed slightly. Now he no longer regards Zuo Gu as his "love rival" because he has found out that Zuo Gu is a woman and should not be very old. It is said that he should be in his thirties and forties. The outside world cannot know the age of these ladies. I am afraid that even Zuo Gu's beloved disciple Ke Qu'er is not clear.
However, in order to prove it, Han Jian patted Ke Qu'er on the shoulder and asked, "Your master is longevity?"
"What?" Ke Qu'er was already absent-minded. Faced with Han Jian's unreasonable problem, she looked confused and didn't know what Han Jian was talking about.
Han Jian nodded, thinking that he was right.
It took less than a mile to walk, but it took less than a stick of incense to walk. Outside the eunuch, there were guards from the East Prince's Mansion everywhere. This time, Master Zuogu could be said to have "go to the meeting alone", and Yi Die was the only one who went to greet him in advance.
Before Han Jian entered the eunting Pavilion, he saw a woman wearing long-haired dressed in gray clothes sitting at the stone table of eunting Pavilion. Behind her was Yi Die. Facing the many guards of the Eastern Prince's Mansion around, the woman seemed to be invisible, sat calmly, and could even be said to be a little relaxed and contented.
"Good demeanor." Han Jian sighed in his heart.
Although the woman had her back to this side, Han Jian had already identified from her graceful figure that this woman's age should not be as old as the outside world. After all, there are also rumors that Zuo Gu is already in her seventies and eighties. How could a woman in her seventies and eighties have such a graceful back?
Han Jian brought a lot of people. As the footsteps approached the Guanting, and when Han Jian was less than five feet away from the Guanting, the woman had already gotten up and turned around to look. The woman's appearance was also revealed under the reflection of torches around the Guanting. Seeing this appearance, Han Jian was stunned. The woman in front of him was thirty years old?
A woman with a light eyebrows and plain face and looks very quiet, her long hair flutters in the night breeze. More importantly, her appearance is absolutely natural, and she is not much inferior to the Dharma. Similar to the Dharma, this woman also has a free and easy attitude that is not as good as the world, as if she has seen all kinds of things in the world, and no one or things can cause her to fluctuate.
Han Jian had thought that there would be a master who would teach him what kind of apprentice. Ke Qu'er was a genius, so her master should be the kind of charming woman, but she didn't expect her master to be so elegant and transcend the world. Han Jian even suspected that this was not Zuo Gu, but Ke Qu'er's senior sister or uncle, because the two of them had nothing in common just from the face.
"Master, then... is Master Zuo Gu?" Before he arrived at the reception hall, Han Jian asked Fa Yi to prove it.
"Yes." Fa Yi just responded calmly.
Han Jian sighed in his heart, this is really a different woman. If the statement is also the type of woman he likes very much, then the one he likes very much, and both of them like it... it is not easy to deal with. Han Jian knew that there was no possibility of "communication" between him and Zuo Gu. He was originally a different aspirations and disagreement, and he might be an enemy.
Han Jian kept walking and had already arrived at the reception pavilion with the guards. Han Jian was not in a hurry to step forward. When Ke Qu'er, who was in front of Fa Yi, saw the woman, her face immediately showed the sadness of her little daughter's house, and called out from afar: "Master."
