Chapter 161 Lord, high five for the appointment (2)(1/2)
Chen Baiqi and Baili Peinan were introduced to the dormitory by the chief chamberlain of Yong Palace.
The decoration of the palace bedrooms during the Warring States Period was not as exquisite and luxurious as that of later generations. Perhaps it was because of the personality of the residents themselves. It was full of antiques with a dark and calm style, which gave people a sense of solemnity.
.
The cloud top in the dormitory hall is made of ebony wood beams, the floor is paved with polished black stone, and a six-foot-wide black tent hangs from the beams and floats lightly in the wind. The walls are decorated with various knives, swords, halberds, and axes.
The weapon was decorated with a large piece of colorful tiger fur, and the tiger skin seemed to have patterns of majestic mountains and rivers with painted leather patterns.
The things in front of the dormitory were clear at a glance, but everything behind the curtains was hazy and indescribable. They could only vaguely see a tall figure sitting on the large couch, leaning on the multi-flower cushions woven from rattan and bamboo. The upper body seemed to have never been clothed.
There were only circles of blood-stained bandages.
His face was especially pale as if he had lost too much blood, but his eyes were like stars that would never fall, resolute and cold, making people dare not look directly into them.
This person is none other than Ying Ji.
Even though he was half-lying at this moment, Chen Baiqi and Peinan Shanchang were standing. From their perspective, they were condescending, and they did not feel that he was weak in the slightest.
The feeling of "generous".
Chen Baiqi lowered his eyes and pursed one corner of his mouth with unclear meaning.
Chief Peinan Shan was in front, and she followed him. After the chief servant came forward and whispered a timid report, he and others stood still and saluted Ying Jifang.
Ying Ji seemed to stretch out his hand behind the curtain to support them, and then said: "You two don't need to be polite, Chen Huanxian, I heard that you have been sleeping for two days and just woke up last night."
"Perhaps it's because I'm exhausted. I'd like to thank the King of Qin for his concern," Chen Baiqi said, neither humble nor arrogant.
Peinan Mountain Chief continued: "I heard earlier that Huanxian was forced to stab the King of Qin with an arrow in order to save the King of Qin. Although the situation was excusable and the law was indestructible, Peinan did not dare to ask the King of Qin to let go of the blame. He only hoped that the King of Qin could
Let Penan be punished on his behalf."
He lifted up his robe, straightened his back, and knelt down on the ground in shock.
Chen Baiqi stared at Mount Penan kneeling down with his lowered eyes. His eyes moved and he did not dare to stand anymore, so he knelt down with him.
In the evil old society, the intention is not to save people, but after all, class status is different. Whether this arrow is a rescue or a revenge depends on whether the saved person appreciates it. If he appreciates it, it will be a life-saving grace. If he does not, it will be a life-saving grace.
It can be falsely accused of assassination.
Although Master Yuelu and his disciples both thought that Ying Ji did not seem like a person who would beat up anyone regardless of right and wrong, the process of pleading guilty should still be fully performed to encourage others to take advantage of him in the future.
"Chen Huanxian knew that he had acted recklessly to save people before, but he did not dare to blame the mountain chief. If King Qin was upset because Huanxian saved people with an arrow, he could unleash all his anger on Huanxian.
I am willing to be punished."
Ying Ji, who was on the couch, listened to the master and apprentice. You said, "I had no choice but to save the King of Qin. It's understandable."
It reminded him of this "life-saving grace" over and over again.
Ying Ji's cold and mountain-like face remained unchanged. Only his thin lips raised an arc with unknown meaning. He said: "Chen Huanxian, I promised you what I promised you when I was in Fuli Lake. I will never forget it."
Only then did Chen Baiqi raise his eyes, his clear eyes looking at Ying Ji through the black curtain.
I can't quite see his expression at this moment, but his tone is very calm, and he must be in a very peaceful mood.
"Huanxian naturally believes that King Qin is a man of his word." Chen Bai raised his eyes and smiled, speaking clearly.
Ying Ji probably heard the cautious mentality of "Chen Huanxian", so he ignored her, and then focused on Peinan Mountain and said: "In Fuhu Lake, Chen Huanxian is kind to me alone. What Peinan Mountain Chief said is serious, but also
Please get up quickly."
Peinan Mountain Chief also heard Ying Ji's polite words and stood up to thank him. Chen Baiqi also stood up together.
"I have something important to discuss with the King of Qin here. Huanxian, you are not yet recovered, so please go out of the palace and wait." Mountain Chief Peinan turned his head and said to Chen Bai.
Chen Baiqi was stunned, and looked at Chief Peinan, but saw his eyes looking at her without blinking. There seemed to be something in it, but she didn't understand it, but she understood it. Chief Peinan didn't need her to intervene in this matter.
.
Since this was his wish, Chen Baiqi did not want to violate it, so he bowed to Ying Ji and resigned.
Chen Baiqi calmly moved outside the palace. The sunlight outside the long jade steps suddenly shone into her eyes. She squinted slightly and covered it with her hands.
She looked at the light drizzle in the distance, the fragrant grass growing year by year, and the green ocean in the distance. Only then did she realize that it was almost summer.
Time flies so fast...
As soon as she stepped down the stairs, she saw Ji Ying, dressed in purple pansy summer clothes, coming gracefully like a gentleman in the wind. There was only an entourage behind him, but Mr. Xiangbo was not seen.
Chen Baiqi stepped forward and saluted: "I have met the Prime Minister."
A hint of surprise flashed across Ji Ying's face: "Chen Huanxian? You are here..."
Chen Baiqi explained: "The mountain chief is discussing something with the King of Qin in the palace, so Huanxian is waiting here."
Ji Ying said thoughtfully: "Oh, it seems like it's not appropriate for me to go in at this time. Why not have a good chat with Huanxian here to enhance our mutual feelings."
His words were very frivolous, but his expression was serious and courteous, making him look like a gentleman.
Chen Baiqi smiled secretly and said: "The Prime Minister is joking, Huanxian is just a white-haired scholar, how can it be worth the Prime Minister's troubles about Huanxian."
After speaking, she inadvertently looked at the attendant behind Ji Ying, and the man who had his head lowered also raised his head.
The moment he saw the man's face, the look on Chen Baiqi's face suddenly disappeared, and he was a little startled.
It was an extremely feminine and demonic face, with skin as white as porcelain, without any blood color, and dark pupils without any light, just like a pool of stagnant water. Although he was wearing low-key and ordinary gray clothes, he had broad shoulders and narrow waist.
Her lips are red and her teeth are white, and she looks like a witch who has brought disaster to the country.
Compared with the androgynous appearance of "Chen Huanxian", this talent has a completely unique appearance of a boy and a girl.
Seeing Chen Baiqi staring blankly at the person behind him, Ji Ying took out the jade fan from his sleeve and tapped the palm of his hand, looked back and smiled, but the smile was not as clear as his eyes: "Huanxian seems to be very interested in my subordinates?"
Only then did Chen Baiqi come back to his senses, and the person who had been staring at Chen Baiqi's face expressionlessly also immediately lowered his eyes.
Chen Baiqi looked away, feeling helpless and mocking himself: "This one... really has a good face, Huanxian is rude."
"Oh~" Ji Ying drawled slowly, then turned his head and said to the person behind him: "Ji Si, this is Chen Huanxian, the envoy from Qi State."
When the "Ji Si" heard this, he saluted Chen Baiqi.
Chen Baiqi also smiled and returned the gift gracefully.
"Huanxian, you are quite good-looking yourself, but I thought you were not a person who loves beauty." Jiying teased, and then waved his hand to make "Jisi" step back.
Inexplicably, Ji Ying didn't want "Ji Si" to occupy Chen Huanxian's sight. He wanted more of him to be in her sight.
Chen Baiqi said calmly: "The so-called food and sexual nature, even the saints are like this. Huanxian cannot encourage the vulgar."
"Then I wonder what kind of beauty Huanxian likes?" Ji Ying said.
In this way, they found a common topic and chatted for a while. At this time, Pei Nanshan Changfang slowly came out of the bed.
Chen Baiqi sensed this, so he immediately stopped talking and stepped forward to greet him with a smile on his face.
Chief Peinan looked at her smiling face and smiled back unconsciously: "Go back."
His smile seemed to make the sun suddenly push away the darkness from the clouds, and shine in all of a sudden, gentle and calm.
Chen Baiqi was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Yeah."
She did not ask Pei Nanshan Chief what the specific content of the conversation with Ying Ji was in the dormitory alone, nor did she ask for the results immediately, but listened to his words very obediently.
She turned around and said goodbye to Ji Ying. Ji Ying glanced at Mount Chief Peinan. The two looked at each other and cupped their hands.
"Since Huanxian has something to do, I won't disturb your time. However, tomorrow is Ying's birthday, so I hope Huanxian can come to Ying's mansion with Peinan Shanzhang to join in the fun," Ji Ying said.
Chen Baiqi said: "Huanxian is just a small person. If the Prime Minister can look up to him and invite us to the meeting, he will go there with dignity."
Ji Ying smiled in her eyes and said softly: "When the time comes, see you there."
After saying that, he walked past and took the charming man from before into Ying Ji's dormitory.
As soon as Chen Baiqi and Chief Peinan returned to the "Eternal Life Garden", Chen Baiqi asked about the outcome of the alliance with Qin.
Mount Peinan sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, and said: "The King of Qin has promised to reach an alliance with Lord Mengchang, and is also willing to defend Lord Mengchang from the secret hands of all parties during the alliance of the Six Nations, but... our side must also agree.
One thing about him..."
Seeing that Shan had finished drinking the tea in his long cup, Chen Baiqi squatted down, poured him another cup cleverly, and asked, "What's the matter?"
Chief Peinan looked at her: "He solved the Mo family's problem for him."
When Chen Baiqi heard this, he was silent for a long time.
"Why doesn't he take matters into his own hands?"
Chief Peinan put down his lamp and said: "There are still many things in the Qin Dynasty that need him to deal with. In addition, the affairs of the Mo family are very difficult, so naturally he will not be able to spare his time."
Chen Baiqi also poured himself a cup of tea and said while drinking: "Actually, it is not difficult to solve the problem of the Mo family. As long as he can reverse the reputation of killing his father and brother, the people of the Mo family are not full.
If you have nothing to do, you won't come to trouble him."
Because he was in front of Mount Peinan, who looked like an elder and a friend, Chen Baiqi spoke more casually, even a little unobtrusively.
Although Chen Baiqi's words were a bit inappropriate, Baili Peinan also felt that what she said was true.
"Three feet of ice is not a day's cold. His ascending to the throne was not what the Qin Dynasty clan members wanted. He stepped on the blood all the way up and down. Although he was feared by others, he was also admired by others.
If he wants to hold on to the power of others, he must resort to thunderous means." After a brief analysis, Baili Panan also understood Yingji's current situation.
Chen Bai rolled his eyes and a smile appeared on his lips: "It seems that if you want to cooperate, you must first let him see the abilities of my collaborators."
