After the Disabled God of War Became My Concubine - Chapter 76
As an official who went out of the city to meet Lou Yue, Jiang Suizhou had to welcome him all the way back to the palace, and after meeting the emperor together, he and Lou Yue would attend the banquet held in the palace.
When Lou Yue finished ordering his soldiers, it was getting late. A group of officials rode in a carriage, together with Lou Yue, father and daughter who rode into the city, and several generals in the army. They opened the Yangmen and entered the palace mightily.
Although Jiang Suizhou said that his official position is not high, he is the only surviving brother and the only prince of the sage today. Therefore, letting him go out of the city to greet him, it was a mistake that gave Lou Yue a great face. The officials couldn’t guess the emperor’s thoughts for a while, so Lou Yue was a little more cautious.
However, the postmaster naturally didn’t have as much thoughts as they did. He just wanted the person he hated to meet the person he hated. It’s best to let the two of them fight each other. The more stiff the fight, the better.
Therefore, when the hundred officials of the Central Government carefully speculated about their intentions, the latter complimented Lou Yue with only a few words of interest, and let his father and daughter sit in the table.
However, during this evening, there were more scenes that the postmaster did not like.
Lou Yue has always been an arrogant man who doesn’t care about anyone. In the past, even Pang Shao, he would not be half-hearted. But today, seeing the poorly-healthy His Royal Highness King Jing greet him outside the city against the sun, and when his attitude was not like the yin and yang weirdness of ordinary civil servants, Lou Yue was worried about two points. Halfway through the banquet, he went so far. Get up and toast Jiang Suizhou a glass of wine.
Except for the emperor, no one has ever seen Lou Yue take the initiative to toast anyone.
For a moment, everyone looked at each other, their eyes changed when they looked at Jiang Suizhou. As for the queen on the dragon chair, his face became gloomy for a while.
Everyone knows that Lou Yue holds a heavy weapon in his hand, because he is not well-known in the court and he is squeezed out by others everywhere, so that the posterity can use him with confidence.
But now…
Jiang Suizhou also felt the sudden condensation of the surrounding atmosphere. He raised his eyes to look at Lou Yue, and saw him with a calm look. He knew at a glance that it was because of his acquaintance today that he got up to drink this glass of wine with him.
However, everyone around him only cared about the sudden close relationship between him and Lou Yue, and would not go deep into what happened outside the city today.
Jiang Suizhou only found it difficult to manage.
Seeing Lou Yue walking with the wine, he got up first and hurriedly smiled before Lou Yue: “How can General Lou come to toast this king when this king respects you? This king is not in this body. Zhongyong, I lost courtesy outside the city today, and please don’t blame the army…”
Before he finished speaking, he was exhausted and coughed while holding the cup with one hand, so that the wine in the cup was spilled outside.
Lou Yue was startled when he saw this. He has been in the army all the year round, and all he has seen are great masters who are capable of carrying the power. How can he ever see such a pale-faced sick child? He hurriedly said: “What’s to blame for this? The prince is not in good health, so I should rest more.”
Jiang Suizhou struggled to stop his cough, and clinked glasses with him with a faint smile.
He was relieved. Now, I can explain some of the doubts in everyone’s hearts.
But at this moment, a voice came slowly from above.
“General Lou should give His Highness King Jing a good cup.”
It’s Pang Shao.
Lou Yue was puzzled when he heard the words, turned his head to look at Pang Shao, and saw him smiling slightly, speaking calmly and slowly.
“General Lou doesn’t know yet, there is a happy event in the Jing Palace.”
Hearing this, Jiang Suizhou groaned, and half of the wine choked into his throat. Suddenly, the fake cough became a real cough.
He knew the happy event that Pang Shao was talking about.
After all, General Lou didn’t know that the only son of his former friend was married to the Prince Jing’s mansion to be a concubine.
Jiang Suizhou coughed so badly that Meng Qianshan hurriedly came forward to give him comfort. But Jiang Suizhou didn’t care about this, and his heart had already mentioned his throat.
Hearing this, Lou Yue must have been furious, not knowing what he would do. But no matter what, the anger must be directed at him.
He barely stopped his cough and took a deep breath, just waiting to welcome the storm.
But Lou Yue was puzzled: “What happy event?”
Pang Shao looked at Jiang Suizhou, then at Lou Yue, and smiled unexplainably, and stopped talking.
As for the latter, who was at the head, it was rarely cloudy to clear, so he put away the doubts and displeasure he had just now, and glanced at Pang Shao with satisfaction.
Then a Pang party official smiled and said: “General Lou doesn’t know, right? The only son of Dingbeihou, General Huo Wujiu Huo, has become a good story with His Royal Highness King Jing!”
For a while, there was a burst of laughter on the table.
Another official smiled and said: “What General Huo, now it is Mrs. Huo!”
Lou Yue was shocked, and he was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses.
Who is this King Jing? It’s a broken sleeve that everyone knows all over the world. At the beginning of the year, Huo Wujiao was defeated. He had heard about it in Lingnan, but he didn’t expect…
It was so humiliated!
He looked at Jiang Suizhou incredulously.
I saw that King Jing, who looked like a good woman, had a pale face at this time, and he couldn’t help being held in his hand by the **** next to him, looking up at him. Because he was coughing badly just now, there were some tears in his eyes at this time, and there was a bit of pathology under the lamp that brought pity.
Lou Yue was furious.
No matter how he said a few words to this King Jing today, he can tell a little bit about his personality in the conversation. Looking at Pang Shao’s appearance now, it is clear who came up with such a vicious way to humiliate Huo Wugui.
Lou Yuehu stared, and Jiang Suizhou couldn’t help shivering.
In the next moment, he saw Lou Yue turn around, standing there like a mountain with a height of more than eight feet, looking straight at Pang Shao.
“Old thief Pang Shao, I only thought you were not a human, but you didn’t expect it to be so vicious! The grievances on the court battlefield, you still want to go to the back house?!”
His voice was loud, like a Hong Zhong, and suddenly exploded in the magnificent palace, shocking the whole dynasty.
Even Pang Shao didn’t make a sound for a while.
He opened his mouth and was about to speak when he heard Lou Yue speak again.
“You still think it’s quite honorable, don’t you?” he angered. “You are worthy of glory only if you win a battle. You are called a long face when you go back to Yecheng! You must either kill him or let him go, marry the prisoner of war to the prince. !”
“You are a wretched thing if you do such a thing! Not only will people in the world laugh at you, but at the emperor, but also at the whole scene! Don’t you who are civil servants like to go down in history? In another one thousand two thousand years, do you believe it or not? At that time, people will laugh at you for torturing prisoners of war with such nasty means, and laugh at you for being ridiculous and shameless by all means!”
—
That sturdy willow branch had long been thrown out of the window by Huo Wujiu.
At night, Wei Kai hurriedly entered Huo Wujiu’s house: “There is one thing, General.”
Huo Wujiu looked at him sideways and saw that Wei Kai took out a very small letter from his sleeve, rolled it into a small scroll, as if it had come from a flying pigeon.
“This is a reply from Li Sheng, the guard at the north bank of the river.” Wei Kai said.
Huo Wugui responded, took the letter and unfolded it in his hands.
The letter paper is not big, and it is written in tiny lower script. Although it has a lot of content, it is quite clear to read. However, Xu was the person who wrote the letter was too emotional, although it was in lower letters, but the strokes trembled uncontrollably, and looked a little scribbled.
In particular, a few tears fell on the paper, making the writing faint.
Huo Wujiu quickly scanned the letters in his hands.
I saw that the letter was earnest, and the excitement was overwhelming. Li Sheng said that he did not expect Wei Kai to see the general again. Even if the general’s legs were not healed, there must be a glimmer of life. He guarded Jiangbei, and he did not dare to forget the general’s instructions and teachings. And if the general has anything to do, just tell him, as long as the general orders, he will definitely obey the dispatch and wait for the general to return.
Huo Wujiu read the letter twice before putting it down slowly.
He did not speak.
Wei Kai saw that he had finished reading, and said hurriedly: “General, although Li Sheng has never worked with us before, he did not expect that he is such a man of temperament! That’s good, as long as we have the opportunity to leave Lin’an and rush to the river bank. , There must be nothing to worry about, just hit it!”
Huo Wujiu lowered his eyes and wiped the tears on the letter paper with his fingers.
There was no expression on his face, and he couldn’t see his emotions at this time. After a while, he gave a faint smile: “Yes, I even only saw him on both sides.”
How can someone who has never spoken to him before, and is not his subordinate, is so emotional that he can’t understand the words? not to mention…
The tears on this letter paper, who knows whether it is true feelings, or to make people look at it.
After a while, Huo Wujiu’s finger moved, and with a clatter, he actually crushed the letter into the palm of his hand.
“…General?” Wei Kai already looked at him puzzled.
Seeing that Huo Wujiu let go of his hand indifferently, the snow-white confetti fell to the ground.
“Don’t reply, wait a minute,” he said.
“But…”
Huo Wujiu raised his eyes, and saw Wei Kai’s face full of surprise, looking at him in disbelief.
He knew what Wei Kai was thinking. He is now in and out of the Jing Palace, and it is no easier task for him to quickly escape Lin’an with his men and return to Beiliang.
And they got in touch with Jiangbei’s defender, and got the assurance from that person, so leaving at this time is the easiest and most comprehensive solution.
But Huo Wujiu knew that the reason for his defeat at the beginning of the year was still in doubt, and 80% of them would have hidden information they didn’t know. And judging from his current speculation… even his emperor brother’s people can’t be trusted.
Therefore, this Li Sheng, he still can’t really trust the other party.
However, these speculations with thousands of turns are still not suitable for telling Wei Kai. He is straight-tempered, can’t hold his breath, and has simple thoughts. Let him know that there will inevitably be troubles.
Thinking about this, Huo Wujiu raised his eyes to look at Wei Kai, and raised one of his lips.
“Nothing,” he said. “I just like to choose a more exciting way. So, don’t respond in a hurry, let Li Sheng wait.”
Wei Kai showed an unspeakable look.
After a moment of silence, he sighed.
“The subordinates know what the general is thinking.” His face was deep, and his eyebrows were filled with sorrow of hating iron and steel.
Huo Wujiu frowned: “What?”
Then Wei Kai sighed painfully: “You don’t leave, isn’t it because you want to take His Highness King Jing and you don’t care about other things? The subordinates understand, but let the general order it!”
This look like death is like a loyal general under a tyrant. Even if he knows that the master is going to bring harm to the country and the people, he gritted his teeth because of his loyalty.
