The host went on strike again today

Chapter 126 [126] Lord Governor, are you playful (51)
The next day.

Chu Jiuge was in a good mood and deliberately stayed in the city for an extra day, and in order to "compensate for being frightened", she took her to the Grand Bazaar with more vendors.

The merchants traveling from south to north wore all kinds of costumes, which were more lively than those in Los Angeles, and there were also a lot of novelty things, even for the two with modern memories.

Especially the food.

It's been a long time since she ate cumin-flavored kebabs. The spicy and delicious taste made her feel refreshed, and she completely forgot about yesterday's "revenge".

When she went back to the inn where she was temporarily staying at night, she had a tragedy, her stomach was full and she groaned uncomfortably.

A certain man rubbed her stomach dumbfounded, and used his internal force to help her sort it out, "You are taking medicine now, your stomach is weak, don't be so childish again."

"The doctor also said not to overwork, but you didn't listen..." She settled the score after autumn.

"..." Chu Jiuge gave up on arguing with her.

At this time, she heard rustling voices, and she took out the jade pendant that had been hidden for a long time from her bosom.

In fact, this jade pendant is not the one she secretly bought tonight, but from the ring.

The palm-sized round jade pendant, with cloud brocade patterns, and the high-quality suet jade outline a python dragon, which looks like it is dormant in the clouds for a nap, ready to ride the clouds at any time.

Because of the limitation of the plane, she couldn't take out any jade items with any fantasy enhancements, such as the body protection halo, and carefully selected and found this one. I remember that when I put it away, it was rumored that it could keep you safe.

The man was stunned, Tang Rui stuffed it into his hand, "Didn't you give me a jade hairpin before, although I didn't wear it on my body, this is a gift in return."

Holding the heavy jade pendant, the sweet taste had not yet reached his heart. Chu Jiuge suddenly remembered something and raised his eyebrows, "When did you buy this jade pendant and what did you use it for?"

Tang Rui scratched her face, feeling a little guilty, "It was when I was strolling around at night, I gave him gold earrings when I saw the right one, should it be about the same?"

In order to prevent her from escaping, Tang Rui did not have much money at this time, but Chu Jiuge had not wronged her before. All kinds of jewelry and clothes were of the best. The gold earrings were low-key and expensive, and it was more than enough to replace them with a jade pendant.

But in theory...

"So I bought this jade pendant with my own money? This gift is not in compliance with the rules." Chu Jiuge said slowly.

"Give it back to me if you don't want it." She wanted to snatch it back, but failed. "Hey!"

As if by magic, the man took out a hosta that she was very familiar with, and stuck it in her hair, "Don't put it in the box again, how can it be as dusty as those vulgar powders?"

Tang Rui looked at the serious man, and confirmed that he was "enlightening" something, and he didn't know when he went to the princess mansion to take the jade hairpin from the box, but she wisely chose not to ask.

"Rui'er, it's getting late at night." His voice sank, revealing an inexplicable ambiguity.

"I'm not sleepy yet." She thought about everything last night, rolled up the quilt and tried to escape, but was immediately caught back.

She puffed up her face and begged for mercy, "I'm so tired, can I take a rest for the night?"

Chu Jiuge looked at the marks on her neck that had not faded away, and reflected that he had indeed been a little too excited in the alley last night, so he couldn't tire her anymore.

"Okay, rest for a night." He kissed her and blew out the candle with his inner strength.

Tang Rui was already tired, and fell asleep as soon as she closed her eyes.

The next day, after starting from Yancheng all the way to the northwest, Tang Rui felt that Chu Jiuge seemed to be more indulgent to her.

Perhaps because of what he said that day, he put down his guard for the time being, and even allowed her to write a letter to keep safe with Queen Mother Zhao and the little emperor, but "Cheng Yuan" was still taboo.

December.

Beijing.

Every day at court, the atmosphere in the court hall became more and more tense and depressing, even Prime Minister Li did not dare to speak much.

There was a small-scale plague in the palace before, and after a number of beautiful women in Chuxiu Palace died, Tang Xuan changed completely. If he had become calm and majestic like an emperor, then he now There are more Yin Xiao.

Empress Dowager Zhao has been recuperating from her illness since the last palace change, and now Tang Xuan sent her to the Summer Resort. In the court today, he announced another thing that shocked all officials—announcing officially that Princess Zhen Guo was dead.

This sentence was tantamount to giving up the search for Tang Rui completely, and also compromised with Chu Jiuge in disguise.

In contrast, postponing the original wedding celebration again seems trivial.

All the officials went to check on Prime Minister Li's tone after he came down to court, but all they got were hesitant sighs. In the imperial study that night, Tang Xuan broke more than a dozen cups.

He repeatedly looked at the letter on the table, on which there were only a few beautiful words to keep her safe and asked Tang Xuan to announce her death. Tang Rui said, let Tang Xuan treat her as dead.

However, how could Tang Xuan be the emperor with such peace of mind!
Because he knew that Tang Rui was used to exchange his throne, and it was Chu Jiuge who annoyed him the most. Now, even if he holds all the power in his own hands, he still feels that there is always a knife hanging on the top of his head .

People, if they have never had rights, they will be fine, but once they get power, they will encourage the greed in their hearts.

Tang Xuan was not reconciled.

The boy's originally handsome face gradually became ferocious, his eyes were bloodshot, and all the court ladies and eunuchs in the room knelt on the ground and did not dare to breathe, until there was a heavy bang, and the white jade paperweight on the table fell to the ground.

All the servants were shocked, a new eunuch knelt on the ground not long after, and saw a pair of golden dragon boots in front of him.

"Pick it up for me."

The little eunuch crawled over tremblingly, and when he picked up the paperweight, he suddenly felt a gust of wind behind him.

Snapped!
Blood splattered.

The boy took another paperweight and smashed the back of the little eunuch's head.

In the blood, Tang Xuan's originally crazy eyes suddenly became clear. After seeing the blood, his pupils tightened and he took several steps back.

The paperweight in his hand also fell to the ground.

But looking at the clothes the eunuch was wearing gave him the pleasure of revenge. An unprecedented feeling hit his fragile heart. It was the desire for power and the urge to prove himself.

After a long time, Tang Xuan suddenly remembered something, went to the table and wrote furiously with a pen, wrote more than ten letters in a row and sent them all.

The place where the letter came from was deliberately concealed by the other party, and it took half a month to reach Tang Xuan's hands, but from the information he had before, this letter probably came from a foreign country.

December.

When Yushang was making a fuss about the death of Princess Zhenguo, Chu Jiuge and Tang Rui, who had arrived in Gentiles, had already settled down in a sand city naturally formed by rivers in Gentiles.

Compared with the windy and sandy Gobi outside, this place seems to have entered a paradise, with green shades and lush water plants, just like entering a small town in the south of the Yangtze River, but the skin color of people walking here is different.

There are mostly enthusiastic women here, and the slaves who are sold from all over the country, the folk customs are tough, and they almost don't care about the boundaries, but Chu Jiuge has a very good relationship with the city lord here, and even the city lord is respectful to him. From their words, she I know that for so many years, most of Chu Jiuge's team is actually outside the pass, and they have traded with the [-] surrounding tribes. The base camp is stationed on three nearby hills, which can be regarded as the king of the mountains. Surround Shacheng.

But now, Shacheng City Lord is very curious about Chu Jiuge giving up the idea of ​​being king and coming back, especially Tang Rui, but over the years, Chu Jiuge has accumulated enough wealth to support their lives without worry.
