After rebirth, I made the princes cry
Chapter 387 Da Shangchen is also an admirer of "Pei Wangshi"
"Tomorrow at noon, the Left Deputy Envoy will meet you at Kunjianglai."
When they heard the news from Manager Wu, Bai Mian and Xuan Mian cheered at the same time in tacit understanding.
Since he had already made a clear decision in front of the young master, Wu Guanshi simply adopted Bai and Xuan as his adopted daughters. As the market of the Northern Han Dynasty, the West Market was actually not for living, which meant that everyone would be cleared out when the market closed and could not stay in the market. Wu Guanshi had a small courtyard in Xihuaili next to the West Market, which was not his, but a house that the master had given him to live in temporarily. Now, besides him, there were only two adopted daughters in the courtyard.
"Kunjianglai is another branch of the Flying Eagle Division in the West City. It is mainly responsible for sending and receiving intelligence and liaison. You are not members of the Flying Eagle Division, so I will accompany you tomorrow. Kunjianglai is actually a tavern, famous for its Kunshan brew and mutton soup. We will go there half an hour earlier, wait for Deputy Envoy Zuo to leave, and then leave half an hour later.
Remember, although we should not attract the attention of the Northern Han, if we are suspected and questioned why we stayed in the tavern for so long, you have to say that I, your foster father, was sad about my late father's birthday and drank too much, and you kept waiting for me to sober up, and asked the owner to serve me sobering soup, and even asked the servants to clean up the mess in the private room. You must keep the same story. "
Bai Ying and Xuan Ying nodded like chicks pecking at rice.
When people are in a foreign country, they may feel vulnerable sometimes, but Steward Wu is really like a kind father, giving them a solid sense of security. Steward Wu has become another supporter they can rely on besides the young lady, and they really regard Steward Wu as their adoptive father.
So the next day, when Yingshu and Nanci arrived at the tavern called Kunjianglai, they saw not only Bai Mei and Xuan Ying, but also Manager Wu in a particularly elegant and quiet room.
"Han Jiatong Wu Huan of the Flying Eagle Tribe, please come to see the Black Jade Order, to protect our country and ensure its everlasting prosperity."
Wu Hao paid homage to him, and Ying Shu was surprised to realize that she had seen this person before.
At that time, Wu Huan was no longer Guanshi Wu, but the leader of the palace guards of Jiankang Palace. He was later executed by Sikong Beichen on the charge of conspiring with treason. The treason that Sikong Beichen referred to were the "remnants" of Sikong Mujiao. Yingshu suddenly remembered that Sikong Beichen mentioned that the person who reported Wu Huan was Liang, the Concubine Xinsu at that time.
At that time, Tian had already been burned to death by Liang, and Sikong Yuehu was leading his troops outside and had not yet returned to Henan, so Sikong Beichen executed Wu Huan.
"If it weren't for Concubine Xinsu's report, I would have suspected that my fourth brother was also in collusion with the rebels." - This is what Sikong Beichen said at the time.
Yingshu didn't know that Wu Huan was actually the Han Jiatong of the Flying Eagle Tribe, a very high position in the Flying Eagle Tribe, second only to the Black Jade Order of Sikong Yuehu!!!
"Bai Ying and Xuan Ying, thank you Mr. Wu for taking care of them." Ying Shu suppressed her surging emotions and helped Wu Huan up.
Wu also raised his eyes to look at the young master whom his two adopted daughters praised endlessly.
She was younger than he had imagined, with no sharpness in her eyes or brows. She looked like a girl who had no worries and was pampered by her family. For some reason, her clear eyes were vaguely filled with pity, like the tiny ripples of the summer breeze that fold across the lake, and then disappear in an instant with a feeling of pity.
I just caught it, but when I looked closely there was no trace, but I felt comfortable in my heart, and comforted inexplicably.
The person from his homeland, his boss, such a gentle, sensitive, calm girl, who people can see through at a glance but dare not look down on, suddenly made him want to cheer, but couldn't help shedding tears.
"Sir, I need to talk to them about something that is not related to the duties of the Flying Eagle Department. Please step aside for the time being." Yingshu made the request directly.
Wu hasn't hesitated yet.
He immediately trusted this temporary Mo Yu Ling, believing that she would never put Bai Ying and Xuan Ying in danger, just as His Majesty the Emperor of Dayu, His Highness Xin Sujun, had never ignored the safety of any spy in the past twenty years. In every operation, they always emphasized safety first, and if they had to take risks, they would always plan an evacuation plan.
You are unsung heroes, and the least I can do is to ensure your safe return home, so you must remember to keep your life and retreat to protect yourself.
Of course, there were traitors in the Flying Eagle Tribe.
Traitors must be eliminated, but their family members shall not be killed.
Because a traitor has long forgotten his family, executing his family is not enough to deter the traitor.
Wu had no wife or children yet, and there was no need for him to let his younger brother go to Jiankang. He did not stay in Northern Qi as a spy just to let his younger brother survive and live well. He understood very well why a spy would defect to the enemy and betray his country.
Because of fear of death.
Because what they seek is wealth and glory.
These people have no faith or sense of right and wrong. They believe that people die for money and birds die for food. They may be well-educated or illiterate. If a person is determined to do bad things, he will always find a reason - thousands of people are the same as me, so I am not wrong.
Wu also treated Bai Ying and Xuan Ying as his daughters and confidants, but now that he had seen the faith of the two girls, their daughters, and the younger girls, his eyes were filled with tears.
The noble ladies of Northern Qi and Northern Han are not as good as the noble ladies of Dayu. The noble ladies of Dayu are willing to risk their lives for the country, and their followers are willing to share life and death with them. What are they after? Is it for wealth and glory? No, it is just the two words of faith and loyalty.
Wu Huan was so excited that he ignored the fifth prince.
Yingshu and her maidservant did not cry. The three of them first finished a large bowl of mutton soup, and then drank some wine and chatted.
"Hongchangxing is already famous. After I came to Chang'an, I was introduced by Manager Wu and easily became acquainted with the servants in the mansion of Dashangchen. I was not able to get too much information from him, but Dashangchen is not ugly."
"Oh?" Ying Shu became interested: "How did you figure that out?"
“Although Da Shangchen has not married, he has maids who serve him personally. Whenever these maids hear people talking about Da Shangchen’s terrifying appearance, they sneer at him. Moreover, the King of Northern Han must know what Da Shangchen looks like. The King of Northern Han wants to arrange for Princess Xiping to remarry Da Shangchen!
"My lady, I have found out that Princess Xiping's husband is a lot older than her, but he is not bad looking. It's just that Princess Xiping was married to Duke Xiping by the order of the Grand Master. Duke Xiping already has many concubines, and it seems that his first wife was pregnant, so Duke Xiping forced her to... miscarry and died."
Yingshu:......
"Is this news true or false?"
"Really." Xuanying continued, "I sneaked into the mansion of Duke Xiping and listened to the voice of the emperor. That day was the anniversary of the death of Duke Xiping's ex-wife. Duke Xiping himself confessed there, saying that he drank too much that day and didn't know that it would cause such an accident and killed his first wife. Duke Xiping's ex-wife was a shepherdess. She was very beautiful, but her family was humble. However, Duke Xiping was originally a powerful noble in the Northern Han Dynasty. He could marry anyone as long as he wanted, regardless of family background."
"I heard from Steward Wu that when Duke Xiping married, the Qiang tribe had just entered the Pass. At that time, the Northern Han did not follow the etiquette of the Chinese at all. They made no difference between marrying a wife and taking a concubine. They treated wives and concubines the same. Many of Duke Xiping's concubines were daughters of Qiang nobles. Later, after entering the Pass, the current Grand Master of the Northern Han asked him to distinguish between legitimate and illegitimate children. Duke Xiping then made his last concubine, his favorite shepherdess at the time, his principal wife. However, this principal wife, in turn, had to serve tea and water to the concubines."
Bai Mian immediately continued, "After Princess Xiping married Duke Xiping, the Duke Xiping's mansion finally had a distinction between wives and concubines. However, Princess Xiping has been living in Weiyang Palace and has never consummated her marriage with Duke Xiping. Princess Xiping has always wanted to divorce and previously wanted to marry Duke Xiping's illegitimate son."
Yingshu:......
Don’t be too absurd. Although she knew that the “etiquette and law” believed by the Diyi tribe was extremely absurd, it was even more absurd that the stepmother wanted to remarry her stepson with a legitimate reason. Her ex-husband became her father-in-law in the future? ? ? ?
"The Queen Mother did not accept Princess Xiping's idea and exiled the son of Duke Xiping, and reprimanded the Princess. However, after the Northern Han King seized the throne, he was very considerate of Princess Xiping, so he allowed the Princess to divorce. However, the Princess said that if she could not marry the Great Shangchen, there was no need to divorce."
Yingshu reminded herself that this was Northern Han, and she didn't need to care about Northern Han's customs. They just had to be happy.
"But, young lady, I have heard that Da Shangchen already has a lover, and that lover seems to be... Si Niang."
Haha, Wang Qing'e.
Yingshu asked Bai Mei: "How did you find out?"
"I congratulated the servant of Da Shangchen's mansion on his upcoming wedding with the Princess, but the servant said that Da Shangchen already had someone in mind, Si Niang. Although they had never met, they had known each other for a long time. Although I knew that Si Niang had married into the Pei family, Da Shangchen said, how do you say that... Oh! Only take one scoop from the three thousand rivers."
Some traces as thin as gossamer gradually strung together into a line.
"Da Shangchen intends to spread the word that now that the young lady has come to Han, maybe she can invite Si Niang to visit Chang'an. Da Shangchen will not force Si Niang to stay in Chang'an, let alone force her. I just think that if I can invite Si Niang and Pei Jiulang to Chang'an to meet, there will be no regrets."
Such rumors will soon dissipate.
Because when Da Shangchen saw her at the state banquet, it was obvious that his pupils trembled violently.
Da Shangchen recognized her, but he couldn't figure out her ranking. He only knew that she was married to Pei Yu. This was not surprising. In his previous life, Da Shangchen mostly paid attention to her existence when she became a concubine, or even the empress dowager. By that time, Wang Qing'e had been buried for many years. After she got married, no one called her Wang Wuniang anymore. When people talked about her, they just said that she was from the Wang family of Linyi, first married Pei Yu, and then entered the Jiankang Palace, and was promoted from a concubine to the empress and then the empress dowager.
Da Shangchen had seen her, but he didn't know her rank.
Yingshu couldn't think of who this person was for a moment.
Only through Da Shangchen's deliberate act did Yingshu determine that this legendary figure who did not show his true face and struggled from a fugitive slave to become an important official of Northern Han was indeed deliberately trying to force her to come to Northern Han. This time she was walking into a trap. Jiang Gaofan did not expect that she would walk into a trap herself, which meant that his original design should have facilitated Jiang Mo's safe return to Han. Only in this way would Jiang Mo have the possibility to bring "Pei Wangshi" back to Northern Han. Regardless of whether the two countries could establish diplomatic relations, one thing was certain, Jiang Gaofan would definitely make sure that "Pei Wangshi" would never return.
Now Jiang Gaofan knows that the "Pei Wang family" has changed.
Although it didn't fit in with his original plan, the result was an unexpected surprise. Jiang Gaofan would be her mortal enemy.
However, Yingshu was sure that Jiang Gaofan would not take any action against her for the time being. Now Dayu had two princes in the Northern Han territory, and the policy of peace talks and establishment of diplomatic relations was proposed by Jiang Gaofan. It was impossible for Jiang Tai to target an insignificant "Pei Wangshi" and mobilize such a large army, and rush to compete with Dayu when his power was not yet stable. Therefore, Jiang Gaofan could only use Jiang Mo to advance his private plan, and he must have concealed something from Jiang Mo. Jiang Mo did not take Jiang Gaofan's instigation seriously at all. After a brief attempt, he found that he could not succeed, so he backed down and put the overall plan first. He did not even try to tell Jiang Gaofan, and failed his private trust. He had given up the plan to earn "Pei Wangshi", and did not even think of telling Jiang Gaofan that "Pei Wangshi" was suspected of "switch", and the person who was supposed to marry Pei Yu actually took the initiative to fall into the trap.
At such a time, even if Jiang Gaofan was eager to eliminate her, he would inevitably have reservations. If anything happened to the Left Deputy Envoy of Dayu, the main envoy, the Lord of Shenyuan Palace, and the two princes who accompanied the envoys would certainly not let her go. In Jiang Tai's eyes, she, the Left Deputy Envoy, was insignificant. If her assassination caused Jiang Tai's plan to go wrong, Jiang Tai would be furious and would investigate thoroughly, and Jiang Gaofan would not be able to escape unscathed.
Of course, Yingshu could not take the risk of launching a "traitor elimination" plan at this critical moment and take the initiative.
Unlike the minions secretly sent by Sikong Beichen, Jiang Gaofan is an important official of the Northern Han Dynasty after all. If they want to "eliminate the traitor" first, of course they cannot just dispatch Xuanying. Although Xuanying is good in martial arts, he cannot take the head of a person among "thousands of troops". To eliminate Jiang Gaofan, they must mobilize the Flying Eagle Tribe and make careful arrangements. But even if the Northern Han Dynasty did not have Jiang Gaofan, would Jiang Tai really surrender to Dayu, release the envoy of Yu, and return Hanzhong?
This is of course impossible.
Therefore, Yingshu quickly decided to ignore her own safety and proceed according to the original plan.
"Listen carefully, both of you. Next, Xuanmian has to do one thing well, and Baimian, keep paying attention to the movements in the Great Shangchen Mansion. Baimian, remember, no matter what happens or what rumors you hear, you must not be radical and must not act on your own. No matter whether it is Manager Wu or the Fifth Prince, as long as any one of them tells you to evacuate, regardless of whether I have escaped from Northern Han or not, you must evacuate without hesitation."
After seeing both maids nodded, Yingshu lowered her voice and told Xuan'an what to do.
Although Xuan'an was a martial maid, she had actually never been able to use her talents. Her mistress wanted her to protect the young lady closely when she went out because the young lady could not stay idle at home and often had to go out for fun. But when the young lady went out, she would naturally bring other servants and guards with her, and usually the four young masters and the fifth princes, two "flower protectors", and she had never been bumped or offended by any blind people.
As for the master and servants of Qingfengju who always have ill intentions towards the young lady, they are all powerless women who appear strong on the outside but are actually weak inside. They will cry if they are touched. When she is around, they all just talk instead of taking action.
I heard that the young lady's experience after entering the palace was full of dangers, but unfortunately she couldn't enter the palace and couldn't help.
She never expected that the young lady gave her such a big surprise not long after arriving in Chang'an!
kill! ! !
This time, my hands are really going to bleed!!!
