DWGL _ Chapter - 03
Lord Liu is here, and I'm afraid he's going to ask for a match again
In Jianghu, there are neither a thousand nor eight hundred people who want to Fenxing, but most of them can only think about it. It is rumoured that Jiu Xuanji was built by the carpenter's ancestor Luban's younger brother. The organs inside are full of dangers, and the slightest mistake will kill you-in fact, in recent years, many people in the Jianghu have indeed died here, so the rumours have become more and more treacherous. Duan Yao had heard of it before, but he had never had any interest in Central Plains Martial Arts, and he didn't take it to heart. He only knew it was a dangerous place and thought it would be best to go around it in the future, but he didn't expect that he would just barge in.
Duan Bai Yue tucked the wooden box into his sleeve and turned around to leave.
Duan Yao: "......"
When they reached the door of their bedroom, Duan Bai Yue patted him on the shoulder and said, "You've had a long night, go back to bed."
Duan Yao dodged him and pushed the door open and walked in.
Duan Bai Yue reminded him behind him, "This is this king's bedroom."
"Let me have a look." Duan Yao sat at the table and reached out his hand.
"What are you looking at?" Duan Bai Yue asked knowingly.
"Fenxing, of course." Duan Yao said, "Why do all those people in the Jianghu want it, and why do you want it?"
Duan Bai Yue replied, "I don't know."
Duan Yao: "......"
Don't know?
"I don't want it, someone else does." Duan Bai Yue said as a matter of course, "Since you and I happen to be passing by here, then we can take it together."
"How easy it is to say that, take it together!" Duan Yao was furious and poked a hole in the table with his finger, "Do you know how dangerous it is over there?"
"No matter how dangerous it was, you still managed to get out without any trouble." Duan Bai Yue said in a relaxed tone, "Apart from the fact that it's a bit dirty, there's nothing else to lose."
......
Duan Yao felt that if he went on like this, maybe he would be killed by this popularity before he waited for Wangcheng.
After watching him all the way back to the room, Duan Bai Yue opened the wooden box and took out a bead from it. It's not round, the colour is still very dull, and the rags are padded around as if they were torn directly from the beggars' clothes. It really doesn't seem to be of any value.
Duan Bai Yue frowned slightly, holding it in his hand for a long time, but he didn't find a clue.
In the next room, Duan Yao took a shower angrily, climbed into bed and began to sleep stuffy. He didn't get up until noon the next day. He didn't go to find Duan Bai Yue. Instead, he went out through the window and wandered around. After buying sugar cakes and books, he went to the restaurant and ordered a large table of dishes. He didn't return to the inn until late at night.
Duan Bai Yue was sitting at the table drinking tea.
"Here." Duan Yao put the jar of medicine in his hand on the table with a thud, "I borrow the kitchen and it's just been boiled."
Duan Bai Yue smiled, "I thought you forgot it was the 15th day of the month."
Duan Yao propped his cheeks and sat at the door to guard him. A wealthy businessman with a big belly was about to drink too much wine, and he talked loudly to his companions about doing business, but only halfway through the laughter, he saw a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy holding a sword in front of him and glaring at him, like a fierce god like Hades, so he hurriedly stopped his voice and walked back to the guest room on tiptoe.
Duan Bai Yue drank all the concoction, sat quietly on the bed and meditated, and did not open his eyes until an hour later.
"Is it going to kill you?" Duan Yao asked, leaning against the doorway.
Duan Bai Yue replied, "Not in three to five years."
Duan Yao bristled, "Scourges last a thousand years."
Duan Bai Yue laughed: "I thought you would think I had a short life."
Duan Yao yawned vigorously and stretched himself out to go back to sleep.
In Wangcheng, the murder case was also temporarily suppressed, and the squires and subordinates brought by Guli were placed in the palace for temporary residence. On the road from Wangcheng to Anu Kingdom, even if you use the fastest horse to work tirelessly day and night, it will take three months to say something, and you can't be in a hurry."Your Majesty." This afternoon, Eunuch Si Xi said at the door of the imperial study, "General Shen has returned."
"Quickly call him!" Chu Yuan was so happy that he tossed all the folders in his hands to one side.
"General Shen, please go in." Eunuch Si Xi opened the door for him and said in a lowered voice, "His Majesty has declared the general back, there been no peace in the court recently."
Shen Qian Fan smiled and stepped into the study with big steps.
In Jianghu of the Central Plains, no one knows the famous Shen Family Riyue Villa. The old master Shen Feng is highly respected, and the eldest son Shen Qian Feng has the best martial arts skills. He is recognized as the next master of the Martial Arts League. The second son Shen Qian Qian has never been out of the arena, but he is also a noble son of a handsome and heroic family. The fourth son Shen Qian Ling has a simple and romantic nature. Smart, it is rumoured that a smile can make winter flowers bloom. The third son, was Shen Qian Fan, the famous god of war in Chu. Whether it was the original battle for the throne or the later battle for peace and chaos, the Shen family had made immortal credit, so Shen Qian Fan was also regarded as a confidant by Chu Yuan. He had originally wanted to go back to Jiangnan to visit relatives, but who expected that he had not been away for half a month, but he was sent back by a secret order.
"Thank you for your hard work, General." Chu Yuan stepped down from the dragon chair.
"Your Majesty, this is this general's duty." Shen Qian Fan asked, "Is there something going on in the court?"
"You have been summoned back because there seems to be a disturbance in the Liu House." Chu Yuan said, "I want to get rid of them all at once."
"Your Majesty wants to plan ahead?" Shen Qian Fan was a little surprised.
"That is one thing, there is another." Chu Yuan said, "I wonder if you have heard of this?"
Shen Qian Fan shook his head, “The last general didn't talk to anyone else on the way back to the palace from the city gate, and didn't hear anything on the way."
"Guli has been killed." Chu Yuan returned to the dragon chair.
"Liu Fu did it?" Shen Qian Fan's brow furrowed.
"You think so too." Chu Yuan smiled coldly, "I think so too."
"So the murderer hasn't been caught yet?" Shen Qian Fan said carefully.
"Even if he is caught, he can only pretend that he is not caught." Chu Yuan said, "What else can we do?"
Shen Qian Fan tentatively asked, "Then what does Your Majesty want to do next?"
"I have already sent a letter on this matter to Anu Kingdom." Chu Yuan said, "According to Shada's temperament, I am afraid that he will be provoked by the traitors in this matter, not to mention the fact that it is my country that is in the first place, so if we are not careful, it will be talked about."
"I understand." Shen Qian Fan nodded his head.
"Aiqing is tired from the journey, so go back to your home and rest." Chu Yuan said, "As for other matters, we will discuss them tomorrow."
"Your Majesty." Eunuch Si Xi happened to be outside again and said, "Lord Liu of the Ministry of the Treasury has an important request."
Shen Qian Fan suddenly stopped in his tracks as he was leaving.
"Go and wait at the back first." Chu Yuan waved his hand at him, indicating that he should hide.
Shen Qian Fan was relieved.
Lord Liu is a loyal and straightforward man with a big belly and a rich attitude, he should be very popular, but the problem is that he is too much of a nosy mother-in-law and a matchmaker who keeps trying to marry his niece to Shen Qian Fan, and he even tries to get the emperor to give him a match, which is a real headache.
So it was better to avoid it.
"I am here to see Your Majesty." Lord Liu was holding a scroll of portraits in his hand.
Shen Qian Fan was behind the screen, covering his forehead.
"Aiqing, please stand up." Chu Yuan summoned the chamberlain to give him a seat.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." When Lord Liu sat down, his first question was to Shen Qian Fan, "I heard at the palace gate that General Shen had returned?"
"Ahem." Chu Yuan rubbed his chin, "He has already returned to the general's residence."
Lord Liu's eyes were filled with joy and he was obviously ready to pay a visit.
Shen Qian Fan decided to eat at the palace and return home at midnight.
"Did you come to the imperial study to find Qian Fan?" Chu Yuan asked.
"Of course not." Lord Liu hurriedly stood up and presented the scroll in his arms, "This is the portrait sent by the Goryeo Kingdom yesterday."
"You want me to establish a queen again?" Looking at the woman standing in a pavilion on the painting, Chu Yuan frowned.
"Not this time." Lord Liu shook his head repeatedly, "If Your Majesty wants to establish a queen, he should naturally recruit women of the right age who is beautiful, intelligent, virtuous and of good character to enter the palace. How can people like this who are mediocre and come from a foreign country come to my great Chu as the queen and take on the responsibility of motherhood in the world?"After speaking, he added, “Moreover, she looks too thin and not good for childbirth."
Chu Yuan: “......”
“Ahem." Duan Bai Yue coughed in the inn.
“Hey hey!" Duan Yao hurriedly covered the small jar in front of him, for fear that he would blow away his bewitching (Gu) insects.
Duan Bai Yue said, “My head is a little dizzy.”
“Just get married." Duan Yao was casually perfunctory.
Duan Bai Yue wondered: “Can getting married cure a headache?”
“It should be possible. Getting married sounds like it can cure all diseases." Duan Yao transferred the Gu worm into the bottle, “The last time the third sister had a stomach ache, that's what Aunt Wang said. It will be fine after she gets married and gives birth to her son." If you like it, you can have one too.
Duan Bai Yue: “...”
Looking at Lord Liu with a festive face, Chu Yuan wanted to send someone to carry him out so as not to have another headache.
But Lord Liu obviously didn't have the awareness to leave consciously.
Chu Yuan had no choice but to ask, "Then Aiqing is so good, why do you want to show me this portrait?"
"This woman is the sister of the King of Goryeo, and her name is Jin Shu." Lord Liu said mysteriously, "She has reached the age of marriage, but she refuses to marry anyone, and only after asking several times did she say that she had fallen in love with Xinan Wang, Duan.”
Chu Yuan: "......"
Who?
Lord Liu took the initiative to repeat: "Xinan Wang, Duan!"
Chu Yuan: "......"
Shen Qian Fan was puzzled behind the screen, the princess of the northeastern vassal state had fallen in love with the southwestern vassal king, what was the purpose of sending the portrait to the Chu palace?
"What does this have to do with Aiqing?" Chu Yuan also asked.
"Duan Wang Ye has always been a very tough person, and he had some conflicts with King Goryeo." Lord Liu explained, " King Goryeo was very distressed by this and could not resist his own sister's constant trouble, so he had no choice but to come up with this solution."
"What is it?" Chu Yuan picked up his tea calf to cover up.
"King Goryeo wants to ask Your Majesty to coordinate with him so that Duan Wang Ye will agree to this marriage." Lord Liu smiled auspiciously, "Even if she can't be the main concubine, it's fine to be a paramour, the Goryeo kingdom doesn't care about this, just marry, marry."
Shen Qian Fan leaned back and began to admire Lord Liu from the bottom of his heart, he could talk about matchmaking from the northeast to the southwest, and he was also a capable person.
