Jin Wushu never knew what it felt like to have his fate in the hands of others.
Hua Rong's voice was sweet and gentle: "Doesn't it feel good? Do you know that when you stated in the Song-Jin peace treaty that you wanted Peng Ju to die, our husband and wife felt like waiting at home every day to die? We didn't even have an antidote. "
Jin Wushu shuddered and babbled, unable to answer.
"Fourth Prince, if you can kill Qin Hui and Wang Junhua for me, I will protect your life."
Increasing the stakes, this woman kept raising the conditions and chips. Jin Wushu grabbed her hard and said, "Follow me back first, and I will naturally find a way for you."
She answered simply: "Okay."
Jin Wushu was startled. Is there really such a thing as pie in the sky
Although Wang Junhua is the last one among the four evils, no matter whether there are fish or shrimps, he can kill each one first to avoid being beaten. "You can set up an independent tent for me in a secluded place and ask Wen Long to live with me. .On these two conditions, you go and prepare immediately, and I will come when you are ready."
He held on to her clothes and said, "These will be ready in no time without any effort."
"Get ready first and then talk."
He was furious: "Hua Rong, it's not a dragon's den or a tiger's den there. I found Wang Junhua for you, and I'm not responsible for helping you keep watch. If she leaves, there's nothing I can do."
"But maybe you tricked me into letting her kill me."
Jin Wushu was breathing heavily, and her eyes showed strong vigilance. She was definitely not joking, but she was truly worried.
His fists clenched so hard that his bones crackled: "Hua Rong, don't forget, this prince's life still lies in the palm of your hand."
"Oh, I forgot for a moment." She breathed a sigh of relief, but she was really scared at that moment. Zhao Deji, Jin Wushu, each of them are snakes that can spray venom at any time, so that you don't know how you died. You, We must not repeat Pengju's old path. Knowing people, knowing faces, but not knowing hearts. Who else in this world is trustworthy? !
Enemies are all enemies.
A face couldn't help but flash before his eyes. He didn't look so fierce when he was wearing a valley scarf and a single shirt. The little tiger head was riding on his neck and pulling his beard and hair. A smile couldn't help but appear on his face, and again Full of gratitude: Ah, in this world, there is finally someone whom I can absolutely trust. It is a reassuring feeling. I can go out in the wind and rain, suffer the cold and hardship, but I don’t have to worry about my son’s safety at all, and I don’t have to worry about whether my son is doing well. Okay. King Qin, he has fully shouldered his obligations and responsibilities for himself. If you owe him a favor, you owe it to him.
… …
Jin Wushu saw the unpredictable expression on her face, so gentle and lingering. His heart trembled, and he stretched out his hand: "Hua Rong..."
She slapped his hand away, and her consciousness returned to reality. It was the face of the fourth prince - the tough look of a foreigner. She looked at him from head to toe. The Jurchen's braided hair was in the left fold, and her face was covered with dust and blood. His hair was disheveled and he was so embarrassed.
She suddenly felt a sense of joy: "Fourth Prince, I will come when you are ready."
Jin Wushu watched her whistling away. After a while, he realized that it was a popular tune in the Jurchen area. What a smart person she was. In the distance, he saw a mangrove at the end of the mangrove forest. A Jurchen man with braided hair on the left side was holding the horse and waiting - he looked respectful and affectionate, as if he were the queen's attendant. Zhahe, Zhahe.
He was extremely angry. This woman was born to be an enemy of the Jurchens.
The area around Jinlian Lake is busier than ever.
The east side of the lake is the best location on the grassland: it is backed by a valley, shaded by green trees, sheltered from the wind and sun, and has a cool climate. The terrain below is flat, green grass, and various animals roam. So as usual , the Jurchen nobles stationed their tents here. Looking from a distance, the tents were big or small, high or low. Over the years, the Jurchens, who had gradually adapted to and learned the customs of the Han people, built the tents in a row-on-row style, with the style of a house. , the furnishings inside are luxurious and not inferior to the furnishings of some palaces. Here, they will spend up to 3-5 months. Especially after the peace talks between Song and Jin Dynasties, large-scale wars stopped, everyone felt relaxed, and the Jurchens The nobles even wandered around, completely relaxed, and peacefully enjoying the large number of high-quality tributes from the Song Dynasty.
Since the Wolf Lord and his family are still vacationing in another place and have not yet arrived, the tallest and most magnificent tent around Jinlian Lake is the Fourth Prince's tent, which is smaller than one person and exceeds ten thousand people. It is surrounded by eight huge pillars. When propped up, the inside is thousands of feet in diameter and three feet high. People can go in and out of it. It is very open and comfortable, without the narrow and cramped feeling of ordinary tents. The tent has a curtain door, which is divided into four large areas for women, family members, and children. Everyone has his own place.
Early in the morning, the Fourth Prince's Mansion became busy. Groups of young men, servants, and soldiers walked out with materials. On the southeast side of the lake, there was a huge broad-leaved tree. It was the time when the leaves were at their most luxuriant. Each leaf is as wide as two adult palms, like a giant natural umbrella.
The tent was set up around here. Everyone chopped down huge tree stumps and thick cables, and a tent was quickly set up. But it wasn't finished yet. A group of soldiers brought bundles of large carpets, window paper in various colors, and decorations. , tea sets, tables and chairs... I was busy until the evening before the tent, which was seven to eight feet square inside and outside, was completely decorated.
Although the Jurchen nobles were quite extravagant, this was the first time they were so elaborate. Although everyone was curious, the Fourth Prince strictly ordered outsiders not to approach and sent troops to garrison them. They also knew that the Fourth Prince liked elegance, so they did not find it too strange.
There are three strange people.
Lu Wenlong came back with a bow and arrow on his back, and saw his father with a smile on his face, looking at some raw silk in the tent, seeming to compare the colors and patterns. He had never seen his father like this, so he asked: "Dad, aren't you going hunting today? ?”
"Son, follow me to decorate the new tent."
"Why build a new tent? Isn't this a good place?"
He smiled mysteriously: "You will know then."
He took his son and walked out, riding a horse around half a circle. Lu Wenlong saw this beautifully decorated tent with his own eyes and was surprised: "Dad, who is this for?"
"you."
"Why?"
"You'll know tomorrow."
Lu Wenlong smiled and sat on a big pear wood chair. The chair was cold and comfortable. He sat down and stood up again: "Dad, do you live here with me?"
Jin Wushu paused for a moment: "Maybe. As long as she is willing."
"Who would?"
"your mom!"
Lu Wenlong was so happy that he almost jumped: "Mom is coming?"
"Come tomorrow."
"That's great. Dad, you live here with me and my mother. I don't like to be with them..."
Jin Wushu smiled bitterly, this is basically a fantasy. How could Hua Rong allow himself to live here
The father and son walked home under the sunset, and Yelu Guanyin and Wang Junhua came out to welcome them from both sides. The two of them avoided seeing each other these days, but in terms of their attitude towards the fourth prince, they had to do enough to cater to her. Especially Yelu Guanyin, she These days, I found that the fourth prince treated me completely kindly. Although he guessed it was the effect of the medicine, his wariness slowly dissipated, but his ambition became stronger and stronger. He was afraid that Wang Junhua would hinder his plan, so he tried every means to get her away. However, How can Wang Junhua be a fuel-efficient lamp? She was good at dancing and graceful, and she carried more than a dozen servants with her. She had a lot of money and was good at buying people's hearts. She was favored by everyone in the fourth prince's house and treated her like a mistress. As time went by, she became slightly better than Yelu Guanyin.
After the two men fought openly and secretly that day, they saw servants and soldiers coming and going to build a new tent. They were secretly shocked. Looking at the layout and the decorations, they were obviously building a tent suitable for women. The tent in the residence. The two of them speculated: Could it be for themselves to live in
But the two of them were afraid that it was for each other, so they tried every means to inquire, but Wu Qimai was like a silent stubborn iron. Not only did he not reveal any information, he also prohibited them from getting closer to inquire.
After finally meeting the fourth prince, they could not bear it. They gathered around him, greeted him affectionately, and served her. These days, Jin Wushu was kind to everyone. Looking at the two beautifully dressed women, maybe it was the setting sun. Because of their relationship, both of them were covered with pearls and emeralds and wore gold and silver. They were both so beautiful. He was in a good mood and waved his hand: "Come all, come and have a few drinks with me."
It seemed to be a grand family banquet. All the main concubines of the fourth prince's palace attended, including Wang Junhua and Yelu Guanyin, a total of about ten people. The servants served plates of sumptuous game, as usual, from the Song, Jin and Liao Dynasties. There was a mixed diet, and everyone ate and drank. During the banquet, Jin Wushu came up. He saw Yelu Guanyin wearing a gauze skirt of a Liao woman, and pointed at her and said: "You dance a song to cheer up the wine for this prince."
Yelu Guanyin was secretly happy when she heard this. She immediately got up, swung her waist, and danced a dance that the fourth prince liked in the past. Several prostitutes joined in the music, and the tunes and dances were all in the style of the nobility of the Liao Kingdom in the past. She knew that the fourth prince liked it. This kind of elegance makes you work harder.
Wang Junhua watched with itching teeth and wanted to rush over and cut off her waist. This was where she was inferior to Yelv Guanyin. She had been pampered in these years. As the prime minister's wife, she was an appreciator of singing and dancing. However, only now Regret, I knew that the Fourth Prince was elegant, why didn't I make preparations in advance and practice singing and dancing to cater to him
Jin Wushu beat the rhythm with his hands and asked her with a smile: "Ms. Wang, don't you like the songs and dances of the Liao Dynasty?"
She forced a smile and said, "I like it. Mrs. Yelu dances very well."
At this time, the song ended, Yelu Guanyin came over gracefully with her waist straightened out, and Jin Wushu handed a glass of wine to her mouth. Yelu Guanyin opened her red lips, drank a full glass of wine, and leaned half into Jin Wushu's arms. Inside, he whispered softly: "Thank you, Fourth Prince."
Wang Junhua almost felt nauseous. He had given birth to two sons, and he thought he was a 28-year-old girl. She smiled and handed over a glass of wine: "Mrs. Yelu dances so well." She leaned over and lowered her voice, "Could it be taught by a former Khitan soldier?"
Outsiders only saw that the two of them were like sisters, and they were so affectionate that Yelu Guanyin's eyes were about to burst into flames. When she saw the eyes of the fourth prince, she smiled and said softly: "Thank you for the wine, Madam Wang. I will serve you for a long time." The Fourth Prince only likes the Fourth Prince, so everyone in the slave family works hard to make the Fourth Prince happy."
Jin Wushu's great joy: "The one who knows me is Mrs. Yelu. Very good, very good."
