"this… "
The maid named Xiao Lian read it all at once, and the expression on her face became ugly. While handing over the letter with a little hesitation, she leaned close to Bu's ear and said something.
Bu frowned, then quickly lowered his head and spread out the letter, his expression became ugly.
She raised her head, Jiang Tangzhou still looked neither salty nor dull, she didn't seem to have any worries or worries at all. Mrs. Bu knew that she had been planted in the pit of Jiangtangzhou, and she was extremely annoyed, but she couldn't show it. She could only smile reluctantly, and said with a fake smile: "In this way, it's really It is true that Aijia wronged King Zhen, and King Zhen's loyalty to me Daqin has never changed. Then Aijia really has to apologize to King Zhen."
Jiang Tangzhou hurriedly cupped his fists with a serious expression: "The empress dowager is joking, I dare not take it."
A coldness flashed across Jiang Tangzhou's downcast eyes.
Why didn't he know what Bu Shi was planning
Jiang Tangzhou is not a fool either, since he wanted to send a letter, he naturally had to do so in a concealed manner, so he wrote two letters that day, one with just a few words of blessing, and one with earnest words and love poured into it, which could make Mrs. What I got was, of course, the letter that couldn't be read.
It's just that he didn't expect Mrs. Bu to be so restless that he would call him into the palace without even reading the letter - this also reflects that the situation in Qin Kingdom is definitely not very good now.
This matter depends on who is more urgent. Jiang Tangzhou is not in a hurry at all, so Bu Shi who was in a hurry continued to say: "One hundred years of cultivation can cross the same boat, and one thousand years of cultivation can sleep together. No matter what, you two are also Husband and wife, if you want to come forward, the new crown prince will always give you some favors."
Just as Jiang Tangzhou was about to smooth things over with a smile, Mrs. Bu continued without leaving any room for him: "Now that the new Emperor Daheng is enthroned, he is gearing up to make great achievements, and he will definitely be in trouble. The Ai family will get the other end The news said that Hengguo will send troops soon. If you go to the border, firstly, you have experience, and secondly, you can use your relationship with the new emperor to make them hesitate for a moment. There is no sword on the battlefield. Eyes, sometimes just a moment of hesitation can decide the whole battle situation. Tang Zhou, would you like to represent me in the battle?"
The last sentence seemed impassioned by Mrs. Bu, but in fact, Jiang Tangzhou knew better than anyone else that when he hit the top bird with a gun, Mrs. Bu held a scale in his heart. He wanted him to be the top bird—let alone the top guy. Birds, maybe they can really catch people by surprise.
A look of hesitation appeared on Jiang Tangzhou's face, and he didn't speak for a long time.
Finally, when Mrs. Bu was about to be unable to sit still again, Jiang Tangzhou said: "Queen Mother, this matter is of great importance. I can't make up my mind for a moment. Could you give me a few days to think about it?"
Everyone present knew that this was Jiang Tangzhou's excuse.
But Mrs. Bu couldn't force him to be too tight, so he could only nod in agreement, and added a few more words by the way: "The Ai family knows that you have a good relationship with the emperor, but the relationship is good, and you can't do everything for the other party. Get to know where you stand.”
Jiang Tangzhou lowered his eyes, said "yes" calmly, and then backed away.
Less than three days after this incident, Heng Jun moved.
I don't know what kind of panacea he took. This time, the constant army was so powerful that it broke through the most important Leh City in the frontier defense of Qin Kingdom overnight. The Qin army retreated to the golden city behind Leh City. The sky is also turbulent.
However, King Zhen has been on leave for three days and has not been to the early court.
Therefore, when he got the news, the news that Qinguo might be defeated was already spreading, and Jiang Tangzhou heard it all from the nursery rhymes made up by the yellow-toothed children.
Yin Wenzheng's secret letter was also delivered.
It said that everything was fine for him, so don't worry about Jiang Tangzhou.
He also said that the two would meet in the near future and asked him if he missed him.
A smile finally appeared on Jiang Tangzhou's face after being cold for several days, and Ting Yu, who was reading the letter, heaved a sigh of relief.
Ting Yu was really afraid that her grandfather would never smile again with such a cold face.
According to Jiang Tangzhou's instructions, Ting Yu burned the secret letter to ashes, and was about to return to his command, when an eunuch outside was led in by a servant, and when he saw Jiang Tangzhou, he knelt down and said, "Prince Zhen! The Golden City is also broken!"
Jiang Tangzhou tightened his grip on the teacup slightly: "Does the Queen Mother know?"
"The empress dowager ordered the servants to come and summon King Zhen to enter the palace!"
...
Jiang Tangzhou had never felt that the atmosphere in the palace was so tense.
Since the death of the first emperor and the empress dowager took power, Qin Guo's country has deteriorated day by day. In the past, they were evenly divided with Hengguo, and they had the strength to fight, but now, in just one day, Qinguo has broken two cities in a row, and the stability that has been maintained for more than ten years has disappeared overnight. How can people calm down?
Jiang Tangzhou could almost guess that Mrs. Bu must be unable to eat or sleep at this moment.
And he thought about the things that he had to delay, and he had to make a decision now.
Jiang Tangzhou entered the hall, and heard a clear and crisp sound of a teacup falling to the ground and breaking, followed by Bu's slightly tired voice: "Prince Zhen, have you considered it?"
Jiang Tangzhou bowed, clasped his fists and said, "The empress dowager may think too highly of my ministers. Now that the cities are being destroyed one after another, the generals at the border gates can't defend them. How can I, a blind man with no strength to restrain a chicken, defend?" Can I live? I am afraid that when I go to the border, I will be ridiculed by the people of Hengguo that I have no one in the city, and even a blind man will be sent to the battlefield."
With a sneer, Mrs. Bu suddenly stood up and approached Jiang Tangzhou: "Prince Zhen, Aijia's patience has a limit."
Jiang Tangzhou didn't speak.
Bu Shi said: "Before I was willing to discuss with you in a friendly way, but I thought you still have some uses. But if you have uses but don't plan to use them, why should the Ai family have a friendly talk with you?"
"The empress dowager is joking." Jiang Tangzhou said flatly, "The life of my minister is in the hands of the empress dowager. If it were someone else, I would naturally follow her orders. It's a pity that this minister never cared about me. If the Empress Dowager is rare for this life, she will take it."
Bu's complexion changed suddenly, and he said coldly: "Ai's family counted and gave you only a dozen pills before you set off for Hengguo. I think it's almost used up now. If you are obedient and go to the border, Ai's The family will not let you suffer the pain of going to hell, so why do you have to be angry with the Ai family here?"
Jiang Tangzhou closed his eyes and said nothing.
"Or, you don't care about the emperor's life anymore?"
Jiang Tangzhou opened his eyes suddenly, and raised his head: "What does the empress dowager mean?"
"What Yingzhou is doing in private, the Ai family knows better than anyone else." Mrs. Bu chuckled, and said coldly, "Perhaps none of you have ever thought about it. Think of a reasonable reason."
"you-"
Jiang Tangzhou gritted his teeth hard, swallowed the anger in his heart, took a deep breath before continuing: "What exactly does the Empress Dowager want to do?"
"King Zhen, how about we two make a deal?"
Jiang Tangzhou subconsciously remembered that Yin Wenzheng had said the same thing to him when he was in Hengguo.
It's just that Yin Wenzheng said such a sentence at that time, which didn't make him feel disgusted, but only made him feel interesting.
But now hearing what Bu Shi said, Jiang Tangzhou felt as if he had tarnished the memories between him and Yin Wenzheng.
Jiang Tangzhou closed his eyes and sighed softly.
...
In the middle of the night, Jiang Tangzhou braved the wind and cold to enter Prince Zhen's residence.
The lights were still on in the palace. Yan Qing was waiting for Jiang Tangzhou to come back at the door. Seeing that his lips were blue from the cold, she quickly put the cloak on Jiang Tangzhou's back, and said softly: "Master, in the afternoon... the emperor came for a private visit. Once I found out that you had entered the palace, I left with a very unsightly face."
"Yes, I see." Jiang Tangzhou closed his eyes, feeling physically and mentally exhausted.
This one and the two, I don't know why they like to stick to him so much? He is just a blind man, what good can he do
"One more thing..." Yan Qing pursed her lips, with a smile in her eyes, "Someone has been waiting in Master's room all afternoon."
Jiang Tangzhou paused, and for some reason, an uncontrollable joy suddenly rose in his heart. He subconsciously looked forward, but in the darkness, only the light and shadow of the lamp could be seen.
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Tangzhou accelerated his pace and walked towards the room.
Yan Qing opened the door for Jiang Tangzhou, and left with a lantern. There was no light in the room, and the moment Jiang Tangzhou stepped in, he smelled a very faint sandalwood fragrance in the air. Before he had time to rejoice, a richer sandalwood fragrance rushed over his face, and he was surrounded by a firm and warm embrace.
For some reason, Jiang Tangzhou's eye circles suddenly turned red.
Yin Wenzheng lit the lamp, lowered his head and was about to speak, but what he saw was someone's red eye circles, and his hand trembled in fright, almost turning off the lamp again.
He stretched out his hand and rubbed the corners of Jiang Tangzhou's eyes, and said distressedly: "What's the matter? Is it cold?"
Jiang Tangzhou sniffed, feeling that he was being too careless—but at that moment, he really couldn't hold back.
It was as if he had been greatly wronged, and he straightened his back in front of outsiders and looked fearless, but in front of someone he could rely on, the emotions that had finally calmed down inexplicably began to flood again, even like opening a gate to release a flood It all rushed out in an instant, and I couldn't control it at all.
But he was not such a person in the first place—even if he had a big grievance, he was able to cover it up very well.
"I'm fine." Jiang Tangzhou shook his head, "Maybe it was blown by the wind just now. It's cold in spring and people are shivering."
Yin Wenzheng hugged him firmly in his arms, kissed his forehead, and sighed in a low voice: "A Tang... I miss you so much."
Jiang Tangzhou said "Mmm", the words twirled three times at the corner of his mouth, and finally blurted out uncontrollably: "Me too."
