Fortunately for Feng Yanghou

Chapter 66

When the heavy rain was pouring, the Sifang Inn only had the hurried passers-by coming and going. After the heavy rain had just subsided, the undecided itinerary was arranged. The horses, dry food, escort carriages, and everything they could bring were taken away. Finally, General You Nian, who commanded the three armies Seriously, the moment he flew onto the horse, there was a deafening sound of the whip.

He opened the curtain of the carriage, and changed the scenery with flying steps. Counting the days, he had left Qianyang City for half a month.During this period of time, what he saw and heard included hidden and unspeakable inside stories, as well as the pain of uncovering truth and falsehood.

With feet on the land of Zhou Rao, eating and sleeping peacefully, wearing brocade robes and jade crowns, in just a few days, he is the favored minister of King Zhou Hui that everyone enshrines——Feng Yanghou.

The carriage turned from south to east, at the gate of the city, all the officials came out to meet him, and the monarch standing with his hands behind his back in the center stared at him for a moment.

He turned his head, and the moment he raised his face, his feet had already stepped out. He held his breath, and there were very soft discussions from the surrounding people watching.

When Feng Yanghou returned to the royal city, King Zhou Hui treated him with national courtesy, which is not to say that he did not refute the courtiers' disobedience to the people.

He walked to the deepest part of the inner corridor of the royal palace. There are golden tripods and jade bricks, brocade corridors, red lacquer palace walls from the north eaves to the south.

He walked to the front of the Mingguang Hall, and the palace servants who kowtowed at the right time knelt together. At this time, the door of the hall with red lacquer carvings was opened to him.

He stepped into the Mingguang Palace gently. General You Twenty, who had just returned to the city, was still in the palace to arrange military affairs. Liu Yu was dragged back to his mansion by the embarrassing Prime Minister Liu early in the morning, and often followed him Ji was also recalled by Qi Xin, saying that there was another order for Ji to do.

So far, he was left alone to face Qi Xin who was wearing a dragon robe in the hall.

Step by step, he looked around, the treasured tripod cranes were divided into two sides, stepped up the stairs on the blanket, and smelled the fresh smell of acacia in his nose.The tapestries and carpets were new and freshly washed.

There is no dust or smudge in the renovated palace.

He stopped in his tracks, kowtowed and said, "Your servant, Fu Wangzhi, has met the king. Long live the king, long live the king."

In front of the red sandalwood and golden chiseled landscape screen, there are lattice treasury stands, one level at a time. Instead of jade seated Buddhist altars, they are placed with bladed weapons: horse halberds, hook inlays, bell-headed daggers, yellow birch crossbows... The light flowed, a pulse of cold luster.

Qi Xin was holding a soft cloth, and was wiping a sword that was not inferior to the dragon's tongue.

"Get up." Qi Xin's eyes were dark.

His face was as usual, and when he stood up, he did not forget to straighten his sleeves.

"Aiqing is alone in Sanmiao, taking risks with her own life, can she blame her orphan?"

Qi Xin didn't turn around, he put the long sword aside casually, and then took down a crossbow.Horizontal branches of sandalwood, flowing arc bow, the bow string is tight, as if it can pass through a hundred miles.

He looked at the snow-bladed bowstring on the crossbow, feeling lingering fear in his heart, unconsciously took half a step back, and said with his hands together: "Your Majesty has his own sufferings. After this incident, I feel as if I've lost my horse." He joked general response.

"Oh, what about Aiqing?" Qi Xin's eyes suddenly filled with warmth.

He immediately raised his eyes, "Did your majesty receive a secret letter from your ministers?" "The secret letter said that King Rouhuai wanted to form an alliance with Gu to fight against the enemy?" Qi Xin turned around, his black eyes narrowed slightly, "To fight against the enemy... I have heard that King Rou Huai is lingering in his sick bed, so I don't know if this wish is true or not."

Zhou Rao and Rouli have always been in harmony with each other, and the simultaneous prosperity of the two countries has led to a certain subtle connection between the two monarchs. This relationship can be said to be entangled, or it can be understood as restraint.

Sometimes, whether to form an alliance or not, the ruler of Rouli cannot decide.

"Your Majesty's concerns are well known to the ministers." He raised his eyes, and saw the suspicion in Qi Xin's eyes.

"Although the alliance between Zhou Rao and Rouli is not the best strategy, the trend of alliance is the general trend of the world. What's more, King Weiwei has already discussed the alliance with King Jiyue in private, and soon, it will be a battle. The nations are fighting."

There was no way for him to retreat. At such an urgent time, he had to warn King Zhou Hui in front of him, so as to destroy Chu Rui's ambition.Chu Rui is not considered a sage master, he only hopes that Ji Guo can find self-protection and keep the foundation of hundreds of years.

Ji Guo's current internal and external troubles are too serious, Chu Rui can't save him, and he can't push him to the fire pit.

"Aiqing wants to form an alliance with Rouli alone?" Qi Xin's two thin lips showed a contemptuous smile.

Qi Xin's eyes, vaguely swept over the impeccable face of the person in front of him.

He was taken aback when he heard the words, but soon came back to his senses and said, "Exactly."

Qi Xin didn't expect him to answer with a calm expression.What he is doing now is to interfere with the decision-making of the monarch.

"Why?" Qi Xin took his words, his voice getting colder.

"White Poisonous Grass appeared in the Qiangli Palace. King Weiwei has already tested it with the soldiers under his command. It won't be long before he will gain something." His brows were furrowed, "Once King Weiwei makes a breakthrough, the nations will be in jeopardy .”

"Gu heard that the white poisonous grass sank into the lake together with the Qiangli Palace."

The Qiangli palace was originally built on the mountain range, and I don't know which craftsman set up the palace on a deep lake, and it was firmly embedded in the mountain wall. If the mechanism is reversed and the upside-down situation is complete, the palace will sink into the lake, and there will be no trace. trace.

"Whether it sinks or not, and where it sinks, these are just speculations of the world."

Qi Xin was taken aback when he heard the words, the person in front of him raised his head and smiled like water.

"Since it's a hidden danger, you should be careful when you're alone." Qi Xin watched him, "As for the alliance, it's too early."

After hearing this, his eyes moved, "The king can't trust his ministers?" He knew that even if he won the favor of the people in front of him, he would not be as good as a dead man and a confidant.Qi Xin doesn't want to form an alliance with Rouli, one is because he doesn't trust the queen, and the other is because he doesn't trust him.

"Ai Qing is too worried. Gu just feels that everything is not a foregone conclusion."

Qi Xin held up the arc bow with one hand, and with the other hand bent his fingers to tighten the bowstring. After a crisp sound, there was a piercing smile in the light and shadow.

He lowered his eyes, neither angry nor happy, and when he spoke, he seemed to be talking about an ordinary matter, and he asked again, "Can the king find the consonant grass?"

Baizhen and consonance are mutually reinforcing and restraining each other. When Baizhen is born, the consonance must not be far away.

He still remembered that Qi Xin had sent people to explore Yinbi Mountain for the Consonance Grass.

Qi Xin raised his eyebrows noncommittally, "Why, you seem to be very concerned about Lingxi grass?"

To be honest, except for the servants of Chu Ai surrounded in the palace, no one who deliberately mentioned Lingxi grass dared to ask in front of King Zhou Hui.

Qi Xin frowned in deep thought, and then said: "Ai Qing shouldn't have intervened in the matter of Lingxicao, but since Ai Qing mentioned this matter, I will talk to Ai Qing alone about this matter."

Qi Xin looked over the Tan cases one by one.Hearing the words, his eyes showed confusion, and he was not surprised until he listened to what Qi Xin said next.

"The rhinoceros is gone?"

He stood there stunned. Qi Xin ordered people to search for the rhinoceros grass when it appeared in the world. After searching for dozens of days, when he found the rhinoceros grass and secretly brought it back to the palace, he stole it from the queen's bedroom.And that day happened to be the night before the Sanmiao Monarch was coming to the city.

coincidence?Of course not.

Qi Xin smiled coldly, looked at him for a moment, and then said softly: "Aiqing has come all the way, and the boat and car are exhausting, why not go back to the mansion to rest. After two days, I will call you into the palace again."

He was a little stunned, unable to guess the deep meaning for a while, his eyes were dark.

Qi Xin narrowed his eyes, and took a few steps closer, "Aiqing has to take care of your health. After a while, Gu won't be able to let you go at ease."

He walked to the corner of the corridor, and he felt a sense of shock and inevitability at the words that were still echoing in his ears.And when he really returned to Fengyang Hou's mansion, within two or three days, the work and errands that should come came quickly.

The memorials piled up like a mountain.It coincides with the rainy season in early summer, and there is still accumulated water in the yard that will not be cleaned up in the future, with puddles and puddles reflecting the faint bamboo forests on both sides.

Many flowers around the courtyard are withered, and large pieces of fallen leaves are piled up on the ground.

He burned through three or four oil lamps, and when the birds twittered the next day, his still not sober thoughts aroused the coldness in his eyes again.

He pushed away the memorial, and his servants who got up early tidied up the reviewed memorial and the chaotic table case for him.

He opened the door and walked out, stood outside the wooden fence, and picked up a few wild flowers that had not been carefully cared for.

The wild flowers, in a desolate posture, are holding their buds, and after a night of wind and rain, they become more and more wilted.

"Hou Ye, Mr. Liu Yu was brought back by Prime Minister Liu." The one who got up earlier was Lu Yi who bowed to him.

"The Marquis already knows." He still had a smile on his face, "It's good for Liu Yu to go back."

He looked at Lu Yi, whom he hadn't seen for nearly half a month, and changed the subject, but talked about another person.

"Ji Ke ever returned home?"

Lu Yi touched the back of his head, "Not yet."

He raised his eyebrows, obviously he was pursing his lips in a smile, but he couldn't see the slightest bit of joy.

"Master Hou, let's have breakfast first." Lu Yi led him to the main hall.

After he took his seat, he took the silver chopsticks handed over. At this moment, Lu Yi took the silver needles prepared in advance and tried it in the dishes, and it was not poisonous.

"Eunuch Zhang taught you?"

He looked up to see Lu Yi put away the silver needle, the breeze outside was still very cool, blowing the black hair on his shoulders.

Lu Yi smiled at him, "Master Hou is really good at predicting things."

It is not difficult to guess that this is a habit of people in the palace.He couldn't help but slander from the bottom of his heart, and after that he didn't object, he leveled the silver chopsticks and prepared to pick up vegetables.

"Master Hou, Cang Lizi, who woke up first, sent a greeting card, and wants to invite Lord Hou to Jianyun's private residence for a talk."

The servant trotting over passed the courtyard and trampled on a field of flowers.

He raised his eyelids, dazed for a moment, and then an inexplicable playful and speculative look appeared on his face.
