Chu Qiao followed Zhuge Yue's side out of nowhere like this. If someone had told her a year ago that one day she would sit in the same carriage with Zhuge Yue very harmoniously, she would not have believed it even if she was killed. But now she turned her head and looked at the man reclining on the soft couch, reading a book leisurely, but she couldn't think of doing anything.
At the dinner party held by the Shou family in Wu Pengcheng that night, she was lucky enough to meet several old acquaintances. Zhao Yang, the fourteenth son of the emperor, Mu Yun, the young master of Lingnan, Wei Qingchi, the clan of Wei Dynasty, Zhao Zhongyan, the son of King Ling, and several famous noble children in Zhenhuang City. This is really a unique dinner, just like the year-end riding and archery meeting held in the Martial Arts Hall of Zhenhuang City. Chu Qiao, the most wanted criminal in Da Xia, stood among a group of royal nobles, not only had to nod and smile at them all the time, but also consciously played the role of serving tea and water, it was really like sitting on pins and needles.
But now, the carriages of these guys are all around her, and they are euphemistically called to go to Tangjing with the fourth young master Zhuge to congratulate Prince Biantang on his wedding.
Under such strict surveillance, Chu Qiao's hope of escaping completely came to naught. She could only follow Zhuge Yue like this, "half hijacking" him, and started this weird journey.
However, the hijacked party did not seem to have much awareness of being hijacked.
"Water." Zhuge Yue just spit out a word without raising his eyes.
Chu Qiao stared at him viciously, motionless like a log.
After a while, Fourth Young Master Zhuge finally realized something, he raised his head, and looked at her in surprise, his expression seemed to say: Didn't you hear what I said
Chu Qiao couldn't bear it anymore, and said angrily, "I'm not your servant."
Zhuge Yue nodded, expressing that he understood very well, Chu Qiao was just wondering that this guy was so easy to talk, when he suddenly heard him shouting: "Yue Qi!"
With a bang, the carriage door was opened. Chu Qiao's movements were astonishingly fast, she put on her veil almost at the same time, and sat down beside Zhuge Yue, the dagger in her sleeve pressed against his back fiercely, as long as he moved slightly, she would ruthlessly slap him Insert it.
"Pour tea."
Yue Qi was taken aback, and looked at Chu Qiao in surprise, while Zhuge Yue said honestly, "She is not my servant."
Yue Qi felt deeply that this woman was so favored, and asked: "Then should I find a maid to serve the young master and this girl?"
Zhuge Yue nodded, expressing his agreement, then turned his head, looked at Chu Qiao seriously and said, "Do you have any objections?"
Of course she has opinions!
Chu Qiao's eyes were almost breathing fire, and the knife in her hand was pressing against his back threateningly.
What is this guy doing? Don't want to live anymore
"It seems she doesn't want to." Zhuge Yue said to Yue Qi, "Pour me a cup of tea first, and I'll call you later if necessary."
Yue Qi nodded and was about to enter the carriage. Chu Qiao had no choice but to lower her voice and whisper, "Let me do it."
Yue Qi smiled knowingly, turned around and backed out, and closed the carriage door forcefully.
"What the hell are you doing?" As soon as Yue Qi went out, Chu Qiao flew into a rage.
Zhuge Yue looked at the warm tea on the small stove calmly, and said calmly, "I'm thirsty."
"Don't you have long hands? Can't you fall by yourself?"
Without further ado, Zhuge Yue opened his mouth to call Yue Qi. Chu Qiao had quick hands and quick eyes, covered his mouth with one hand, and looked around, frowning almost together.
I'm afraid of you! Chu Qiao wailed helplessly in her heart, and regardless of the water temperature, she picked up the hottest pot and poured a cup of tea, put it on the small table beside him with a bang, and said viciously: "Drink it! You will be burned to death!"
Zhuge Yue's complexion remained unchanged, and he took out a brocade handkerchief from his bosom leisurely, placed it on the wall of the teacup, picked it up and blew on it gently, and then started to drink tea in a leisurely manner.
Seeing his steady appearance, Chu Qiao felt her head ache again.
No matter what, I have to escape tonight no matter what, even if my whereabouts are exposed, I can't stay here any longer. Anbo County is an important commercial county in the east of Biantang. It is backed by the Pinggui Plateau and adjacent to the Cuiwei Mountains. Under the Cuiwei Mountain is the Nanyue River, also known as the Nanjiang Waterway. It is an artificial canal dug by Bian Tang, from Chengzhou to Yanbei. This canal also makes the counties and counties along the Nanyue River prosperous. The import of cattle, sheep and horses accounts for almost half of the country. After Cuiwei Mountain, there is a barbaric land in Qinghai. Although there are few people because of the remoteness, there will still be some powerful caravans to transport some precious furs and medicinal materials back and forth. So Ambershire is small, but very prosperous.
The collective visit of the prodigal sons of Daxia immediately turned the people of this small city on their backs. Before entering the city, the officials who came to greet them were discharged for half a mile. Chu Qiao opened the car window and looked out, only to see green and red official hats far and near, crowded with people, very lively. She couldn't help but wondered: "Since when did Bian Tang and you guys get along so well? Didn't they still fight at the border last year?"
Hearing this, Zhuge Yue slightly raised his head, squinted his long and narrow eyes, squinted at her, and said calmly, "There is no absolute enemy in politics."
Chu Qiao turned her head and stared at him fiercely, then snorted coldly, "A dog of a feather is a wolf."
"It's called helping those who have attained the Tao." Zhuge Yue picked up the teacup and took a sip, "Anyone who conspires to betray will surely end in disastrous end."
Chu Qiao was furious, and was about to retaliate, when suddenly there were footsteps approaching outside the car, she quickly put on her veil, sat upright beside Zhuge Yue, picked up a dagger and began to "hijack" the hostages.
With a bang, the car door was opened, and Mu Yun stood outside the door. Chu Qiao and him have not seen each other for many years. I saw Young Master Mu wearing a light blue brocade robe with cloud patterns, snow-white riding boots, a blood jade belt, a moon-white forehead, a face like a crown jade, red lips and white teeth. Like a man. He looked at Zhuge Yue with a smile, and said: "The parents and officials of Amber County have come, we have discussed it, if we don't go to socialize, we will be rude, what do you think?"
Zhuge Yue pulled the corner of his mouth slightly, smiled very lightly, and said, "I'll do whatever I want, you can decide."
Mu Yun nodded, and said: "Then don't disturb Fourth Young Master's rest, we are about to enter the city, there is a banquet tonight, Fourth Young Master should have a few more drinks."
As soon as the car door was closed, Chu Qiao said viciously, "Zhuge Yue, don't act rashly!"
Zhuge Yue sneered, not paying attention to the dagger on his vest, "I should tell you that."
"Do you think I don't know?" Chu Qiao said coldly, "As a person, how could you go on the same road with these guys? Now you have to go to the city to entertain those officials, what do you want to do? I told you You, you won't stand a chance!"
Zhuge Yue raised his head, looked at Chu Qiao indifferently, pointed to his chest and said, "If you are afraid, just stab it here, otherwise stop talking so much nonsense."
Chu Qiao raised her eyebrows, "Do you think I dare not?"
Zhuge Yue looked at her leisurely, and said with a sneer, "Do you dare?"
The rumbling sound of gongs and drums suddenly sounded, followed by the sound of firecrackers, followed by the sound of qin, sheng, drums and music. Although there are many musical instruments, they are not noisy, but in such a wilderness, hearing such court music, Everything looks weird. Chu Qiao and Zhuge Yue were taken aback at the same time, and when they were wondering, they heard Yue Qi's voice outside the car window, "Master, I heard that Prince Bian Tang just passed by here a while ago."
Even through the window, one could imagine Yue Qi's expression. Even though Chu Qiao and Zhuge Yue were in such an awkward position, they still couldn't help but look at each other at this moment, feeling a chill at the crown prince's vulgar hobby. .
"You dude!" Chu Qiao muttered. Zhuge Yue, however, acted as if he hadn't heard it, he leaned on the soft cushion and closed his eyes, as if the noise outside didn't exist at all.
Amid such lively gongs and drums, the huge convoy slowly entered the city. The summer wind was warm, the gongs and drums were loud, and Chu Qiao, the number one terrorist and first-class war criminal who had been hunted down all the way, entered the gate of Amber County in a grand manner, greeted by officials of all sizes in Amber County.
After setting up the carriages and horses, welcoming and sending them off, it was naturally a lively scene. Chu Qiao followed Zhuge Yue every step of the way, watching Bian and Tang officials take turns to express their welcome and friendship like a revolving lantern.
Dim lights, crowds of people, in front of the huge city guard's mansion, fragrant chariots and horses crowded shoulder to shoulder, guards from various families guarded it, and a clever gatekeeper stood in front of the door, shouting auspicious words of auspiciousness and health like flowing water. The lights in front of me suddenly became brighter, the chime bells and Lu Le rang, the sleeves slender waist swayed, the fragrance of gold powder wafted, and the wine exuded a seductive aroma.
Chu Qiao followed behind Zhuge Yue, wearing a turquoise dress, a thick veil, jewels all over her head, and jingling rings.
When the wind music sounded, Mu Yun and Zhao Yang had already arrived, and everyone exchanged greetings and sat down one after another.
The city guard of Amber County was a scribe in his early thirties. He was pretty and handsome, but he was eloquent, long-sleeved and good at dancing, with a slick face. For a while, the host and guests enjoyed themselves in the hall, and the atmosphere was very warm.
Zhao Yang was sitting on top of Zhuge Yue and Chu Qiao, wearing a black-gold boa robe, with calm eyes, drinking continuously. Chu Qiao was no stranger to this person. Although she hadn't met him a few times in Zhenhuang City, she had been dealing with him almost all the time in the past two months. Now the entire Southwest is under his jurisdiction. Although Zhao Che gave the order to hunt down and kill Chu Qiao, the person who actually executes it is the young Fourteenth Highness in front of him.
"His Fourteenth Highness is a young hero. It is a great honor for my family to see His Highness today."
The younger sister of the city guard came forward gracefully and respectfully toasted Zhao Yang. Zhao Yang smiled and got up to return the gift. The woman was so flattered that she bent even lower. From Chu Qiao's angle, one could even see her bright red tube top.
Someone next to him said: "The Battle of Huaiyang was absolutely amazing. Your Highness has such a strategy at such a young age, and the future is limitless."
Zhao Yang raised the corner of his mouth and said, "No matter how amazing it is, it's because Chu Qiao ran away. You all praised me absurdly."
Everyone was startled when they heard the words, and the city guard hurriedly said with a smile: "Someone stumbles, and a horse stumbles. If His Highness meets again, that woman will not have such good luck again."
Hearing this, Zhao Yang just smiled and did not speak, his eyes wandered around the table, and then he sat down. The city guard intervened in time to smooth things over, and even asked his sister to perform a dance. The woman didn't hesitate, she took off her outer robe, revealing the thin red silk underneath, and danced gracefully on the spot. After the dance, he even sat directly on Zhao Yang's table, serving food and wine, very courteous.
