Chapter 52 Duan Bingzheng Extra Story ([-])

Duan Bingzheng raised his head from the pile of memorials, glanced at Sun Li, and suddenly asked, "How long has Qingya been away from Beijing?"

Sun Li thought for a while and replied, "Your Majesty, Your Highness the Princess has left Beijing for half a month."

Duan Bingzheng nodded, "Then I should be able to get there now, and I don't know how the father and uncle are doing."

Sun Li was about to answer when suddenly someone knocked heavily on the window. Duan Bingzheng raised his eyebrows and looked at Sun Li. Sun Li bowed to Duan Bingzheng, turned around and backed out. Duan Bingzheng walked to the window and opened it. A figure jumped in from the window, Duan Bingzheng glanced at him, and said in surprise, "Didn't you be asked to follow Qingya? Why did you come back suddenly?"

The man knelt on one knee, cupped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, this subordinate is incompetent. Princess Qingya is gone."

"Missing?" Duan Bingzheng raised his voice and repeated, "I have sent more than a dozen bodyguards and four hidden bodyguards to follow her. You are all highly skilled in martial arts, and you can't even protect her, a weak girl. How can you still protect me?" Do you have the face to come back to Beijing to see me, and tell me you are incompetent?"

Since Duan Yixian founded the dark guards when he was young, a batch of secret guards have been transferred every ten years. To Duan Bingzheng, the dark guards have changed three batches, but each of them has been carefully cultivated since childhood, each of them is loyal and skilled in martial arts , dedicated to carrying out secret missions for the emperor.Duan Bingzheng trusted them very much, that's why after sending the guards, he also sent four hidden guards to protect Duan Qingya secretly, but he didn't expect that something went wrong.

The hidden guard lowered his head and apologized, "Your Majesty, my subordinates have been secretly protecting the princess as ordered, but the princess was not taken away by someone. She secretly put drugs in the food of my subordinates, waiting for us When she woke up, the princess was gone, and all her belongings were taken away, and she left behind a note, a letter, asking the subordinates to deliver the letter to you."

Duan Bingzheng felt his energy and blood rushing up, he took a deep breath to calm himself down, "Bring the letter."

The secret guard put the letter with both hands. Duan Bingzheng opened the envelope and unfolded the paper, revealing Duan Qingya's familiar handwriting, but the content made his blood surge. Duan Qingya only expressed one thing in the letter. A person who has liked for a long time, so he didn't want to marry the son of the Minister of the Ministry of War, so he planned this trip and eloped in order to escape marriage.

Duan Bingzheng was completely out of breath, Duan Qingya didn't learn the other advantages of his little emperor, only this point, self-willed, reckless for the sake of feelings, but he has learned it completely.

Duan Bingzheng threw the letter on the table and sighed heavily, "Where did she leave?"

The dark guard replied, "I just entered Qingzhou City."

Duan Bingzheng nodded, "It must have been arranged already, and someone will respond. According to what I know about her, she should still be hiding in Qingzhou City, and won't show up until you all leave. You go to Qingzhou with my secret decree." The prefect secretly sealed off Qingzhou City, only allowed to enter the city, not allowed to leave the city. Then searched secretly in the city, and every household could not be left behind. Ten days later, I will arrive at Qingzhou City, and I hope to see her there.”

The secret guard took the order, "This subordinate will definitely find the princess."

Duan Bingzheng waved his hand, "I shouldn't have to ask you to keep it secret, and if there are any rumors in the court, you don't have to come back to see me again."

After the hidden guard retreated, Duan Bingzheng took a look at the letter on the table again, and sighed heavily, "Father, Qingya is the biggest trouble you have left me, right? If you can't take good care of her , what face do I have to meet you and little Huangshu in the future?"

Ten days later, in Qingzhou City, the emperor in a light blue robe held his hands behind his back, listened to the Qingzhou prefect reporting to himself, looked up at the tightly surrounded courtyard, lowered his eyes, walked slowly to the door, and signaled The hidden guard next to him knocked on the door, and a familiar voice came from the yard, "Go back, tell Brother Huang that Qingya is ignorant, but I don't want to go back to Beijing to marry someone I don't like."

Duan Bingzheng sighed, shook his head lightly, and said, "Qingya, it's me, you come out, let's talk."

Duan Qingya who was in the yard was obviously taken aback when he heard Duan Bingzheng's voice, and then he spoke after a while, "Brother Emperor, tell them to back down."

Duan Bingzheng glanced back at the hidden guard behind him, and said, "You open the door, I will go in alone, don't you have something to tell me, then tell me all your thoughts in person."

There was a long silence, and the backyard door was opened. Duan Qingya held a dagger in his hand and pressed it against his chest, biting his lower lip and looking at Duan Bingzheng, "Brother Emperor, if you insist on taking Qingya back, then I might as well die in front of you."

Duan Bingzheng turned his head and told the secret guard who was about to move, "Wait here, no one is allowed to move without my order." After speaking, he strode into the courtyard.The courtyard door closed behind him, Duan Bingzheng turned his head, saw the man standing behind the door, glanced at him, and asked, "Turkic?"

The man cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty has good eyesight."

Duan Bingzheng didn't look at her again, and turned to Duan Qingya, "When did you know this person?"

Duan Qingya lowered her head and said, "I met him a year ago when I went out to play in the palace. I like him, Brother Emperor, we have made a private appointment for life, and I will not marry anyone but him."

"Ever since the war with the Turks that day, the little emperor expelled the Turks from our country, and there have been no Turks in our territory. You suddenly met a Turk in Beijing, don't you doubt it? Qingya? You were young at the time, But after all, it was your father who led the army. Have you forgotten that you almost lost him because of this? Do you know how many Turks the emperor killed in that battle? Are you not afraid that he came to seek revenge on you? Duan Bingzheng stared at the Turkic man, and spoke slowly.

Duan Qingya shook her head violently, "Impossible. When we met that day, he didn't know my identity at all. I only revealed my identity to him a few days ago. In order to prevent me from marrying the son of Minister of the Ministry of War, we I just planned to elope. If he came for revenge, he would have countless chances to kill me, why didn't he do it?"

Duan Bingzheng sighed softly, and said helplessly, "No matter what I say, you have to believe him and be with him, right?"

Duan Qingya nodded vigorously, with tears in her eyes, "Brother Huang, you have followed me in everything since you were a child, and there is one last thing I beg of you, can you promise me one more time?"

Duan Bingzheng turned his back and shook his head, "I have no choice but to decide what a lifelong matter is. Parents' order and matchmaker's words. Anyway, we have also arrived in Qingzhou, so we might as well go to see father and uncle together. If they have no objections , I agree with you to be together."

Duan Qingya glanced at the Turkic man, bit her lower lip and said, "Okay, I'll go with you."

Duan Bingzheng stretched out his hand and opened the courtyard door, and said again, "Take that dagger away. That dagger once saved the life of Little Huangshu on the battlefield, and I don't think Little Huangshu wants you to use it to threaten me with your life. "

Duan Qingya slowly let go of her hand, put the dagger back into its sheath, tears welled up from her eyes, "Brother Emperor, I'm sorry."

Duan Bingzheng's footsteps paused, but in the end he said nothing.

Three days later, Duan Bingzheng rushed to the foot of a mountain at the junction of Qingzhou and Ningzhou with two hidden guards and Duan Qingya. Qingya and I will go up together."

Duan Qingya looked at Duan Bingzheng, nodded towards the Turkic man, and followed Duan Bingzheng all the way up the mountain.

Duan Qingya also learned some martial arts from Ren Zhi when she was young, it is not considered superb martial arts, but it is not as good as those weak girls, and the mere mountain road is very easy for her.She walked behind Duan Bingzheng silently, feeling extremely uncomfortable in her heart.The last time Duan Bingzheng came here with him, he took her hand all the way up the mountain, she talked and laughed all the way, Duan Bingzheng thought she was noisy, but smiled warmly and gently.

But at this moment, he walked ahead without looking back, refusing to look back at her.She knew that she had angered him this time, but she didn't regret it.Brother Huang will forgive her one day, but there is only one person who loves her the most. If she misses it, she will never have another chance in this life.

The two brothers and sisters walked up to the top of the mountain in silence, and saw the familiar house. There was a man sitting by the river at the door, holding a fishing rod, his face was covered by a coat, his trousers were rolled up, his feet were hanging down. Into the water, revealing the white and thin legs.

Duan Qingya only paused for a moment, then rushed towards that person, and before she jumped in front of that person, she bumped into a person's chest, she raised her head, saw Duan Yixian's face, and burst into tears .

Duan Yixian grabbed her shoulders and looked at Duan Bingzheng with some puzzlement, "Why did you come here suddenly, the state affairs are not busy anymore?"

Duan Bingzheng shook his head with a calm face, walked in front of Ren Zhi, and lifted the robe on his face, revealing his delicate face, "Little Huangshu, your precious daughter is going to go behind my back with someone else She eloped, and I didn’t agree with her, so she forced her to die, the daughter she taught herself should decide for herself, don’t think that pretending to sleep is useful.”

Ren Zhi lazily opened his eyes, looked at Duan Bingzheng with a smile, and then turned to Duan Yixian, "Do you think that his appearance now looks more and more like yours back then, does everyone who is an emperor have to be like that?" This expression?"

Duan Bingzheng turned his face away without responding, rolled up his trouser legs and went into the water. After a while, he found a fish out of the water, and ran to the side with ease and began to deal with the fish.Ren Zhi glanced at his awkward look, smiled and turned his head to look at Duan Qingya, "It seems that you have gotten into a lot of trouble this time, and your brother is actually awkward like this. I remember him being ten years old Since then, I have been overjoyed. Tell me, what is the elopement, and what is the death?"

Duan Yixian let go of the arm holding Duan Qingya, walked into the room and took a soft cushion for Ren Zhi's waist, so that Ren Zhi could lean on it more comfortably, and then motioned to Ren Zhi, "I'll go and see Zhi'er , I leave it to you here."

Ren Zhi nodded, and signaled Duan Qingya to sit down on the low stool beside him, "Who made your imperial brother so angry? If you don't want to marry the son of Minister of the Ministry of War, just talk to your imperial brother, he It's impossible to force you."

Duan Qingya bit her lower lip and said, "It's a Turkic."

Ren Zhi nodded knowingly, "No wonder. I have too many grievances with the Turkic people, so it's no wonder your emperor brother disagrees."

Duan Qingya looked at Ren Zhi nervously, "Then Daddy, will you agree?"

Ren Zhi leaned back, looked up at the blue sky and said, "Do you trust that person?"

Duan Qingya nodded, "I know Brother Huang is doing it for my own good, but he has never been in touch with him. Only I know what kind of person he is. I trust him, and I know he really likes me."

Ren Zhi nodded, "Then you mean he won't marry?"

Duan Qingya said firmly, "Yes, I will not marry unless he is the only one."

Ren Zhi reached out and stroked Duan Qingya's hair, "Since this is the case, I have nothing to disagree with. He is the person you choose, and you are the one who gets along with him. What kind of person is he? Brother Huang and I both have more power to comment. But you have to promise me that even if one day in the future, you find that you have entrusted someone to someone else, you will not complain to anyone. No matter what the consequences are, you will face and bear it alone, because this is your choice."

Duan Qingya replied seriously, "I promise, no matter what happens in the future, I will bear it alone."

Ren Zhi smiled and nodded, looking at the father and son not far away, "If this is the case, I have nothing to object to. Because even if we force you to abide by the marriage contract now, there is no guarantee that that person must be yours. Beloved, in this case, it's better to let you choose yourself."

Duan Qingya licked her lower lip, "Where is the emperor..."

"Your father will tell him the truth, he just cares about you too much. Because after we leave, you will be his only relative." Ren Zhi took Duan Qingya's hand, "We are too selfish to put a Leave all the mess to him alone. You have to promise daddy that since the two of you want to be together, you will stay in the capital and just treat it as a companion for your brother, okay?"

Duan Qingya nodded seriously, "I promise your father."

Ren Zhi took Duan Qingya's hand and stood up, walked in front of the father and son, pointed back at the river behind him, "Zhier, go catch some more fish, I will grill fish for you and Qingya tonight Eat, you stay here tonight, and go down the mountain tomorrow."
