Wish Junshou and Tianqi

Chapter 5 Arguments of the Kyoto Coup
There was no words around, only Zhao Qinghuai was there talking to her Mr. Song non-stop, even if he didn't say a word, Zhao Qinghuai's excitement didn't decrease a bit.

Chu Shou was sitting dry on the bank, throwing stones into the river one by one, not far away, causing waves of ripples, and the splashed water splashed on the hem of the skirt, and then quickly blurred.

Occasionally there was the sound of fighting behind him, but no one seemed to care. When a dark guard in black clothes flew from the bamboo forest and whispered something in Shen Yike's ear, Shen Yike got up and informed that he could continue to set off.

Then someone drove over in a carriage, and several people boarded the carriage separately. It was less than two hours before dark.

A black crow hovered above his head, and with a cry, he landed on the boulder by the river beach and stood there quietly, his black eyes staring at the group of people, turning as they moved.

Chu Shou folded his arms and sat in the front room of the carriage, while Qing Feng was quietly driving along the river.

"This is? Returning to Beijing from Qingzhou?"

"Yes, there are people ambushing in Chuzhou and Xunzhou, it's not easy."

"But to cross Qingzhou, you must pass through the Nanshan Valley of Qingzhou, the old den of bandits, which is much more dangerous than Chuzhou and Xunzhou."

Qing Feng didn't argue anymore, and continued to concentrate on driving, and Chu Shou didn't ask any more questions.

The car drove through a fork and continued to walk forward. At the same time, six carriages came from nowhere, merged into two groups, and went to the two crossings on the left and right.

Seeing this, Chu Shou smiled and said, "As expected of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he didn't even give his life, but he still wanted someone."

"It should be seized and interrogated carefully, and it is so troublesome to go back to Kyoto."

The black crows who had followed all the way finally approached them. One hovered at low altitude for a while, and landed on Chu Shou's lap. Its dark and shiny feathers were glowing blue. Chu Shou stretched out his hand to touch the crow. Instead of being frightened, the crow enjoyed it. Chu Shou leaned over and whispered: "Go, good boy, open the way for us."

As soon as the words fell, the little guy flew out, circled for a while, and flew towards Nanshan in Qingzhou.

Hearing a few black crows crowing, Shen Yike opened the curtain, looked sideways at the sky, and said with a smile: "Nanshan bandits, we don't have to worry about it."

Song Yanqing opened his eyes, listened to the crow's cry, hesitated to speak, then closed his eyes again, rubbed his temples with his forehead, trying to calm the beating of colic.

There was the sound of torrential rain again, washing down the street, mixed with a soft female voice, calling his name in a low voice, Song Yan leaned on his body, shaking his head gently trying to wake himself up, but the black crow Shouting like a reminder, the sound of rain turned into thorns and flew towards him.

Shen Yike saw that his forehead was covered with dense sweat, like a nightmare, and he didn't wake up after screaming a few times, so he immediately stopped the carriage, opened the curtain and was about to get out of the carriage, Song Yanqing knew who he was going to find, and tried to move forward Grabbing Shen Yike, "Don't..." Before he could say the word, he fell on the carriage and lost consciousness.

@
When Song Yanqing woke up again, it was slightly dusk, but the surroundings were dark, and it was even more dusk when he was caged in the carriage. Occasionally, afterglow sneaked in while the curtains were rolled up, slipping across his forehead, eyes, bridge of nose, Lips, little by little, the world begins to become clearer.

He frowned, and smelled an unfamiliar fragrance, like summer grass and trees, and like the coldness of winter when the snow falls, like after rain, like...

The back of the head suddenly began to tingle one after another, which made people feel irritable. Unable to relieve it, they could only struggle in a low voice.

But his eyelids were struggling and closing, as if he couldn't wake up, in front of him was white gauze wrapped around his green clothes, his hands resting quietly on his knees, as if he... was leaning on someone's shoulder.

Hearing a slight voice from the side, Chu Shou struggled to open the eyelids that were trying to close, and looked down at someone on his shoulder. His chin touched the young man's black hair, and the cool touch woke her up again. Her shoulders are numb and she can't move...

He could only stretch out his right hand in front of Song Yanqing's eyes, and said softly, "Are you awake?"

Song Yanqing knew it in her heart, tried her best to suppress the discomfort in her body, and stretched out her hand to press someone's shaking hand.

"Oh, wake up..."

"Your body is much stronger than it was three years ago, why did you suddenly faint?" Chu Shou followed Song Yanqing's movements to straighten him up, while turning his shoulders, "Hiss..."

After recovering, he continued: "Master Shen said you have a headache and angina, what's the reason..."

Chu Shou whispered, and stretched out his hand to feel his pulse, his head and his heart, but before she could get it, Song Yanqing grabbed his wrist and said without raising his eyelids, "Don't touch me."

Chu Shou was stunned for a moment, then his heart ached, he put away the loneliness that had been swept away in his eyes, and turned cold: "I'm a libertine? I touch you..."

Meeting old friends is like meeting enemies, how could this be so?

"I've been with you all afternoon, and I'm also very tired. Hurry up and finish it, so Master Shen and I can have an explanation. He's much more anxious than me."

While talking, Chu Shou broke free from his palm, and no longer tried to touch him, but quietly held his hand with his backhand, and took his pulse.

During this time, no one spoke, Song Yanqing just sat there quietly, didn't even bother to open his eyes, Chu Shou was a little angry, and closed his hands after hastily listening.

Standing up and moving to the place near the carriage door, he said softly: "Master Shen, ah..."

"Your lord's health is fine, maybe it's because he hasn't recovered from his distraction."

Shen Yi responded harshly, and said: "Ah, that's the case, then I would like to thank the princess."

"Lord Shen? Could it be convenient for you to stop and let me go back to the carriage?"

Song Yanqing's half-dead attitude made her really unbearable, she kept shaking her face, thinking that she owed him a lot of money, Chu Shou couldn't stay any longer, and wanted to escape from this place so much, she might as well not wake up, wake up If he can talk nonsense, sew his mouth shut...

Seeing that no one answered, Chu Shou lifted the curtain and stood out. He raised his voice and said, "Lord Shen? Please stop."

Shen Yike turned his head and said: "Princess, we are going to enter the gate of the capital soon, so you just make it, the horse is running happily."

When Chu Shou heard this, he felt depressed, threw the curtain and sat back in the car, um, it doesn't matter, why should she leave, she is a majestic princess, and he got off the car if she wanted to get off...

At the foot of the emperor, nature is prosperous.

On both sides of the straight avenue are all kinds of vendors. Some are fanning cattail fans on the deck chairs after a hard day, and some are still selling. There is steaming heat around the food sellers. There are all kinds of melons, fruits and vegetables, and all kinds of supplies and utensils. It was full, and there were jugglers and performers on the side full of people, applauding one after another.

Surrounded by monks on the other side were talking about Buddhism, reincarnation of cause and effect, and allusions from overseas. A circle surrounded them, with pious and solemn expressions, listening quietly.

There are also various teahouses and theaters, which really come alive at night, and the bustling at night is more turbulent than that during the day.

The small buildings scattered on the left and right are connected in series by rows of small lanterns of various colors, like thick stitches stitched with thick needles and thick threads, covering people's heads layer by layer, which is more eye-catching than the star river that spreads across the sky.

The most prosperous street is the street by the lake. The buildings are brightly lit, and the willows are leaning against the shore in spring, enjoying the coolness in summer, painting boats and listening to the rain in autumn, and enjoying the snow and fishing in winter. .

Children with buns playing, carrying painting lamps, picked up some fruits thrown down by the flower houses of the teahouses to eat.

The old general rested, dozing off where the moonlight could shine, holding all kinds of raccoon slaves in his arms, also soundly asleep.

Or sit around and chat, the parents are brief, such as hearing that His Majesty suddenly fell ill, I don’t know if he fell off his horse, or he is really old... For example, the chief of Ruchuan County has returned to Beijing... For example, the decline of the Wu clan, people Everyone began to pray for Buddha... Another example, Gan Linzhou has changed to a peerless musician again, he can play the pipa well, and the previous one went to Yanliu Lane to become an oiran... etc., etc., no one is idle.

As the night covered the land, the lake began to sparkle with lights and moonlight. The flower boats seemed to be covered with golden frost and bathed in gold powder.

On one side, young men and women put down lotus lanterns along the bank, and it was dark and gloomy, floating and floating, forming a sea of ​​flowers.

Chu Shou could not help but look all the way, this scene is indeed more prosperous than it was five years ago, alas, it really is true that things are things and people are not things, everything in this world, five years is but a moment, ten years, 20 years and 100 years can be counted what?

A group of people walked through Chang'an Avenue, turned a few more turns, and gradually drifted away from the noise, until there was no movement, and there were occasional muffled voices, but they could not distinguish clearly.

The horse neighed softly, and the car stopped.

"Princess, we have arrived at the General's Mansion."

Chu Shou's grandfather was an old general with a gray beard, but his body was stronger than other grandfathers.

Old General Chu fought for the country for several years, and when he was [-] or [-], he was mixed in the barracks. He worked hard to have courage and strategy, and led a group of brothers to help the monarch pacify the northwest and regain the lost land. All the small countries are so obedient and obedient, now they pay tribute every year, and they are awarded the title of General of the Peking University or something, and together with the old ministers, they will protect the former emperor and sit firmly in the country.

Later, when he was old and couldn't play anymore, he rode back to the imperial court on a big horse, asked for a leisurely official to do it, and enjoyed the blessings.

It's a pity that the lives of the children under her knees are poor.

The daughter suffered a haemorrhage within two years of her marriage, and left a grandson to die. Fortunately, the grandson inherited his mantle and became a young and promising young general, guarding the northern border. , and did not continue the strings, all the way to skyrocket, and became the prime minister of the dynasty.

As for Shan Chuan's son, he went there a few years ago, the white-haired man sent the black-haired man away, and left a granddaughter in Youbei. The old man in Youbei was rougher than a soldier like him. ", heartbroken, left the battlefield where he had fought all his life, and went home to take care of his children, but the facts proved that he failed just like the old man in Youbei...

However, there are still people who often compliment the prosperity of the Chu family. After all, both civil and military officials occupy high positions.

However, it seems that among all the nobles, there is always a person who can't make money but can't do it, sit and eat, rely on the foundation laid by the previous generation, and spend wildly.

So... Chu Shou naturally and perfectly took over the title of everyone's rich dandy in front of the prime minister. Although she is only a nineteen-year-old girl...but she is also divided into the camp of dandies by everyone.

She also earned the title of Princess Rukawa for nothing by virtue of her grandfather, uncle, elder brother, and the brilliance of the Wu clan. She was also "lucky" to be recruited as an apprentice by Dr. Miaochun... All kinds of things are attributed to "Reincarnation is a technical job."

It's fine if she's in the top position with virtue, but it's so obvious that she doesn't deserve it, but everyone dares to talk behind closed doors, after all, the princess has a strong background and influence.

Leading people to burn the temple of the monks in the Far East, I want to praise the princess for being brave and decisive. If the old lady of the Zhao family is cured, it must be the fate of this old lady. She should be blamed for molesting the young master of the Chen family. The clothes must have happened for a reason...

When Chu Shou was five years old, his father passed away, so he was brought back to the capital from Youbei by his grandfather who was returning to the imperial court. He lived there for nearly ten years. As for the fact that he did not return to Beijing for five years, there was indeed a reason.

Because no matter how strong the background is, this country is always under the Zhao family's world. It is said that five years ago, she and the eldest princess of the dynasty fought each other. Since then, the brave and resourceful princess was fined out of the capital—at least the rumors are so, Otherwise, there is no way to establish a reasonable explanation for Chu Shou's sudden departure from Beijing.

People are always willing to believe what they believe, because someone always comes to set up a weathervane, and the public only needs to cover their ears and eyes to follow the wind, so it is effortless, and it can even bring a little bit of entertainment to the boring life.

Princess Liuchuan came back so quietly, without fanfare or advocacy, on an inconspicuous night, she came back while the night was dark, it was really not like her.

The horse's hooves rubbed lightly on the ground, seeming a little impatient.

"Master Shen..."

Chu Shou opened his mouth and was about to speak when he was interrupted by a cry.

"A Chu? Is it Chu?!"

"Master Shen, please wait a moment."

After Chu Shou finished speaking, he bypassed the carriage, and a person flew out from the opposite mansion, waving his arms and ran over, followed by five or six maids and servants who also hurriedly trotted over.

This person's name is Lin Yujiao, the only son of the Marquis of Zhiyuan, he likes to wear thin persimmons, blue sky and blue water, red lips, slender eyebrows and peach blossom eyes, fair skin and long legs, nicknamed Jiaojiao, and his words are like face.

"It's really you!"

Lin Yujiao was about to go out. From afar, he looked at the opposite General's Mansion, one, two, three, three carriages, and watched the woman in sycamore green get out of the carriage. It coincided with what he remembered, and he waved his arms no matter what. He shouted, seeing that person walking out, he became more and more sure in his heart, wishing he could jump up and fly over.

"Of course it's me." Chu Shou smiled and squinted his eyes, rubbing his slapped left shoulder.

This is the meeting of friends. I can't say a few words, but I just keep laughing.

Lin Yujiao drew circles around Chu Shou, with a smile on his face that couldn't be hidden, his heart was excited, his cheeks were thinly red, his eyes were full of tears, and he couldn't stop blinking.

"You're taller, why don't you eat and get fatter? But, girls, it's better to have a softer waist. Why don't you tell me in advance when you come back? I can run twenty miles away to pick you up by myself. I haven't seen you in five years." , I don't even recognize you..."

Lin Yujiao reached out and pinched Chu Shou's face, kneading and kneading, smiling from ear to ear with canine teeth showing, reluctant to let go.

"That's right, hmph, I'm not going to pick you up. None of you are loyal enough. Young Master Gu can do it. He ran to the deadly place in the northern border and didn't come back. That guy Shang Yi said in the name of doing business." What about home in the world, how about you? You only sent me nine letters in five years, okay, you are all grown up and you can’t help but mother..."

Chu Shou hurriedly pulled him aside, and said in a low voice, "Jiaojiao, don't be angry, I swear I have my own reasons, really."

"Really?" Lin Yujiao raised her eyebrows, looked down at someone's upturned star eyes, half-believing.

"You know that I'm going to meet and see off the Heavenly Official. I originally wanted to have some fun before coming back, but it turned out that Mr. Shen of the Procuratorate is too kind to refuse. I can't refuse, so I didn't have time to tell you."

"The Metropolitan Procuratorate? Shen Yike?"

Lin Yujiao jumped over to look at Chu Shou, frowning slightly, and his eyes were indifferent. The flag of the Metropolitan Procuratorate was hung on the carriage. It was impossible for him to forget this flag. Shen Yi was harsh.

Lin Yujiao withdrew his eyes, looked at Chu Shou tenderly again, and said earnestly: "People in the Metropolitan Procuratorate are ruthless, selfish and indifferent, so don't get involved too much with them."

"Aye's family was ruined, and he left his hometown. It is thanks to them that he ran to the northern border to suffer. Those people, regardless of black and white, are all cruel wolves."

Chu Shou couldn't help but look back, then turned his head towards Lin Yujiao, nodded heavily, and said solemnly, "I understand."

Lin Yujiao sighed softly, put his arms around Chu Shou's shoulders, and said happily: "Then I will invite you to the most expensive restaurant in Kyoto for dinner tonight?"

Chu Shou immediately shook his head, pushed him away and said, "Oh, no, my old man probably wants me to think about it and tears his face all day long. I have to eat the first meal with the old man, so don't even think about it."

Lin Yujiao snorted, and I knew it was such a smile on his face, he pushed Chu Shou's shoulder and said, "I didn't ask you sincerely, let's go, let's take a good look at whether your old man is not Wash my face with tears."

Lin Yujiao waved his hand, and the servant at the side understood it, and immediately drove out of the carriage and took him to the appointment.

Lin Yujiao leaned out of the window, and was waving goodbye to Chu Shou artificially. Chu Shou looked at the carriage going away and smiled, then turned and went back to the door.

Chu Shou stood outside the car with his hands behind his back, looking down at the rocks twisting under his feet.

Shen Yike opened the curtain, only showing his chin, glanced at Song Yanqing, and replied, "What else can the princess want?"

"Hmm..." Chu Shou kicked Shi Zier away, raised his chin, and said in a rush: "It's nothing, I don't want to talk now, Mr. Shen, please go back."

Shen Yi raised his lips and smiled harshly, "Then I'll see you another day."

Chu Shou responded, turned around and stood on the steps of the door, held his left wrist with his right hand and watched the group of people leave. The corners of his mouth curled up as he watched the carriage drifting away, and his eyebrows gradually opened. Without the hypocrisy and anger of his little daughter, his eyes changed It was dark and unclear, with a hint of scrutiny, and he said to himself: "This behavior seems to have hated me for three years, isn't it just a missed appointment... It shouldn't be so, I'm afraid someone is playing tricks."

The more he talked, the colder Chu Shou's eyes became. Under the moonlight, they were slightly fierce, and there was some indescribable mist.

When she turned around, she found that there was a person waiting at the door. Seeing her turn around, the person immediately bowed and lowered his head.

Chu Shou looked up and down, then changed his smile, pointed to the plaque of "Zhen Guo General's Mansion", and asked softly: "This... Mr. Internal Officer, do you have something to do with this family?"

The internal officer had been waiting at the gate of the General's Mansion since noon, hungry and tired, finally he waited for Princess Ruchuan to arrive, unexpectedly, he was riding in the carriage of the procuratorate. I can't wait to dig a seam and hide in it.

Unexpectedly, Chu Shou spoke to her again, her legs softened, she knelt down, wiped her sweat in a panic and said, "The slave is the treasure of the Palace of Funing, the imperial concubine knows that you will return to Beijing today, and specially asked the slave to take you into the palace Talk about the old days."

"Oh?" Chu Shou raised his eyebrows and looked up at the night, "The palace gates are all locked now, I'm afraid we won't be able to talk about the old days, let's talk about it another day."

Say something and leave.

"This..." Jin Bao was eager to persuade him to stay, but he didn't know where to start, so he stuttered anxiously.

Chu Shou turned around and knocked on the door, knocked once, waited for a while, knocked twice, waited for a while... When the third knock was about to be knocked, he withdrew his hand, lowered his head, gritted his teeth, sighed, and changed his smile Turn around and stride towards the carriage entering the palace.

Seeing this, Jin Bao got up quickly, and said in his mouth: "Thank you, princess, thank you, princess..."

The imperial concubine said, if Princess Liuchuan is not invited, ask him to come to Jinbao to see her!

Jin Bao pulled up the reins, touched his neck unconsciously, felt safe and sound, couldn't help being moved in his heart, and wept in the wind.

Chu Shou's voice came from the carriage, and he said lazily, "Don't thank me, thank you, General Chu."

The door is not even opened, isn't this forcing her into the palace?
