Chapter 889 North Mission (seeking the moon)(1/2)
The team has passed Mount Tai and will arrive in Jinan in another half a day.
Wang Xiao rode his horse next to the sedan chair and was telling stories to Qin Xiaozhu and Zuo Mingjing.
"... Nie Xiaoqian said to Ning Caichen, 'That monster must come to kill us. We hang the sword fairy's bag on the head of the bed', so they hung the bag and didn't dare to sleep at night, so they sat in front of the candle. Suddenly, a yaksha flew over..."
He frowned when he said this.
Qin Xiaozhu and Zuo Mingjing were both surprised. Qin Xiaozhu hurriedly poked his head out of the car window and asked, "What's wrong? What's wrong? What's wrong with them, right?"
Wang Xiao turned his head and looked at Zuo Mingjing was holding a half-peeled orange in her hand, with curiosity and worry in her eyes.
"Well, that's not... I'm just a little thirsty."
Qin Xiaozhu was about to get water, but Zuo Mingjing handed the orange in his hand silently...
The orange was sour and sweet. Wang Xiao looked at Zuo Mingjing's slightly embarrassed look and felt a sour and sweet feeling in his heart.
"... Later, Ning Caichen was indeed a Jinshi. Nie Xiaoqian gave birth to two children for him, and they lived happily together."
"Why do you tell stories that live happily together?"
"That's a metaphor."
Wang Xiao said, then glanced at Zuo Mingjing again.
After hearing the story, this girl turned her back and refused to see her. She turned her head and refused to let herself look... Well, the black hair on her temples and half of her side face looked beautiful...
She seemed to blush a little again...
Wang Xiao teased Zuo Mingjing again, feeling a little proud in his heart...
~~
The carriage slowed down.
Gu Hengbo woke up in a daze from his sleep, turned to look, and saw Wang Xiao opening the drawer next to him, as if he was looking for something.
"King Jing'an..."
"Well, you sleep with yours, I'll get something." Wang Xiao didn't look up.
Gu Hengbo wanted to talk to him, and he had already prepared his words.
——I will arrive in Jinan soon. Such an opportunity will change? It will be fleeting...
"I heard someone sing "Peony Pavilion" the day before yesterday. Can I sing it to King Jing'an?"
"Hmm?" Wang Xiao opened a tart cloth bag in his hand and said casually: "You are still sick, so you don't have to sing."
"I'm addicted to the drama, I want to sing."
She stood up, her hair draped aside, looking pitiful, looking at Wang Xiao, and singing.
"I am like a beautiful family for you, like a passing year. I am looking for you all over my body, and I feel sorry for myself in the secluded boudoir~"
She was still weak in illness, her voice was soft, but her voice was gentle and singing, which was very beautiful.
Although Wang Xiao didn't understand the play, he felt it was very pleasant and couldn't help but look at Gu Hengbo.
The two of them met, and Gu Hengbo's eyes were even more affectionate, as if they were foolish.
She picked up a slender hand, gently held it to her face, opened her cherry mouth and continued to sing down.
"Let the collar loosen, the straps are wide, and the sleeves are slightly fixed, so I will wait for you to endure and stay warm for a while..."
Wang Xiao was stunned.
This play is so...so that one.
——I think you are not addicted to drama, you are...
The next moment, Gu Hengbo seemed to be out of touch and fell down.
Wang Xiao wanted to help him, and she leaned in his arms and hugged his neck with her hands.
"Prince..."
Gu Hengbo seemed to be pushed by something, and a red cloud appeared on his face, and he let out a soft cry.
Wang Xiao was a little stunned. The tart cloth bag in his hand fell to the ground, and a few chestnuts fell out.
——This... In comparison, the words I said to tease Ming Jing just now were not considered teasing at all...
Gu Hengbo's eyes were even more confused, and his weakness in his illness seemed to be like a delicate flower that he could pick.
She moved her body, her face became even more red, and she closed her eyes in shame.
After closing her eyes, she mustered up the courage to continue singing, even her voice trembling.
"I light up the clouds, and the red pine and green are on the verge of green. When I see you, I snuggle with you, and I wish I could make the meat roll like a piece, and it was so funny that I could get fresh on the rain..."
Wang Xiao: "..."
No wonder everyone likes to listen to operas...
...
Gu Hengbo felt that his forehead was so hot and his face was so hot.
She was actually very ill, and she tried her best every time she sang a sentence.
She was about to feel the big change in Wang Xiao, and she felt that she was about to succeed.
Excited, joy, shyness, fear... and weakness in the pain, mixed with all kinds of feelings, and my heart was a little trembling.
She had no strength left on her body, but she still tried hard to move her body and rubbed against Wang Xiao...
Under such circumstances, she has dared to call herself a "laughing man"...
"Xiaolang...I want it..."
"I have warned you that I still dare to play with fire!" Wang Xiao suddenly put her on the couch and scolded, "You are brave enough."
He frowned, sat down beside him, stood up and looked down at himself, and sat down again... and then he made his robe, looking a little embarrassed.
Gu Hengbo was a little surprised and tried hard to support himself and wanted to pull him.
"Xiaolang, I don't want a name... I just want to be able..."
"I've seen Your Highness the Princess!" Suddenly, a loud shout came from outside the carriage.
Gu Hengbo was stunned for a moment, and was almost scattered...
~~
When Wang Xiao's convoy slowly entered Jinan, a fleet of cars and horses slowly entered Zhengyang Gate in the capital thousands of miles north.
This is a mission sent by Southern Chu to negotiate peace with the Qing Dynasty.
Last year, after Shen Bao became the chief minister, in addition to trying to win over Wang Xiao, he also felt that Wang Xiao was unreliable in doing things... He fought a victorious battle and neither asked for credit from the court nor negotiated with the Qing Dynasty after the war. What is this?
There must be a constitution in the future if there is a war or peace.
Of course, Shandong is just a vassal state, and it doesn’t matter if it says it.
Of course, this kind of thing has to be decided by the court.
Since it is the final say of the court, of course it is better to negotiate peace.
It was not only Shen Bao who wanted to negotiate peace with the Qing Dynasty. The second assistant Yingjiesi, Ma Chengyu, Zuoqing of Taipu Temple, and a number of court officials asked to negotiate peace.
Chen Dongming, the general of the navy in the five coastal towns, volunteered to submit a petition to the Northern Envoy.
At that time, only Shi Mengnong, the Right Assistant Minister of the Ministry of War, firmly opposed it and tried his best to fight. It was difficult to reverse the court's resolution. He also knew that Chen Dongming was weak and asked for another suitable candidate, but was still rejected.
Shi Mengnong had no choice but to personally ask the Northern envoy to prevent Chen Dongming from selling the interests of the country.
The Nanjing court agreed, asking Shi Mengnong to serve as the right assistant censor, to govern Hebei, to contact Kwantung military affairs, and to serve as the commander of the mission.
Chen Dongming joined the prince's tutor, Ma Chengyu joined the Taipu Temple, and the two served as deputy envoys.
Shi Mengnong knew very well that this matter was a matter of being accused of being with the tiger and was ready to die in the capital.
"I hope Your Majesty will always remember the shame of the north. Do not think that peace talks will be successful, and do not rely on peace talks. Take the world as the most important thing, regard shame and hatred as the thoughts, and worry about the fallen people, and reorganize the army and order the army to restore the great cause..."
Shi Mengnong bowed three times and bowed nine times to the young emperor, and left Nanjing with a mission.
He deeply felt that the mission went north and negotiated peace with the Qing court.
According to the court's intention, the Chu Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty could be brotherly countries. Considering the age of His Majesty of the two countries, Emperor Chu was his brother and Emperor Qing was his younger brother.
You can even work together to fight against the enemy.
This "nor" should refer to Tang Ni...
When he left Beijing, Shi Mengnong was still thinking that if he could work together, he might not be able to recover the rivers and mountains.
——Fortunately, the Minister Chen sent someone to contact Duke Guo and recruit soldiers from Shandong...
The mission of more than a hundred people walked down the river and went to Tianjin.
After getting off the boat in Tianjin, Shi Mengnong stood on the coast for a long time speechless after hearing a series of news coming from the south.
Chen Shoufu retired and died, and the King of Qi has rebelled and proclaimed himself emperor...
Before this mission was launched, my mission became the biggest joke in the world before he even arrived in Beijing.
The country is destroyed and the family is destroyed, and the sorrow of becoming a slave of the country is pouring out into my heart and cannot be stopped.
Shi Mengnong could only lie on the coast and burst into tears.
I cried until I was so loud that I was dizzy twice, and after waking up... I still have to do my job.
The chief minister of the cabinet has changed, but His Majesty is still His Majesty. He is holding the imperial letter of the Emperor of Great Chu. He must not change the orders every day and give up halfway…
No one understands what Shi Mengnong felt when he held the imperial book and returned to the capital.
When the Qing army entered the city, his mother was in the capital and died of a hunger strike.
"Although I am a woman, I have received the kindness of the country, and I cannot seek survival in vain. I send a message to my son, don't think of me..."
To be continued...
