Chapter 234

When Yu Piaoxiang heard Lu que say this, she suddenly felt a twinge of heartache. Her cousin Lu que was only two years older than her, but now he was shouldering the success or failure of the war in southern Xinjiang, and even the future direction of Daqian. Compared with Lu que, her hard won gold qiuding ranked second was a little insignificant.

Although Yu Piaoxiang didn't meet him many times in the nearly three years since Lu que returned to Daqian, because the main drug of the prescription that controlled her illness, nine petaled red deer flower, was finally obtained by elder sister Yu Tianxiang through Lu que CAI. Moreover, Lu que was so excellent that there were many rumors about him even in the harem, Therefore, Yu Piaoxiang knows almost everything that Lu Kui has experienced in the past two years.

In Yu Piaoxiang's heart, his cousin Lu que has a unique talent. He always has a calm smile on his face, as if nothing in the world can defeat him. But now the smile on Lu's face is still the same, but Yu Piaoxiang, who is very sensitive in his heart, finds that deep fatigue is hidden in his cousin Lu's eyes.

And Yu Piaoxiang can vaguely feel that the tiredness of Lu Que's body is not the mental and physical tiredness caused by too many things to deal with. But because what he is doing now is not what he really wants to do, but because of various reasons, he has to do it and plan, which leads to his inner tiredness. Perhaps in this cousin's heart, other people's assiduous pursuit of the name of the world, the power of the country, is not what he pursues. What he really pursues, however, has to be put aside for the time being because of the heavy burden on him now.

Thinking of this, Yu Piaoxiang carefully rubs the statue that Lu que carved for her in his busy schedule. Looking at Lu Que's soft voice, he says, "cousin, I can feel that you are very tired. Do you know if I can help you? Although I'm young, I'm the second best in Ding class this year. The school will start in March next year. In nearly half a year, I can ask my father to enter waige for training. Although I don't know much about it, I'm still competent to help you do odd jobs and run errands. "

Lu que was stunned when he heard that. He didn't expect that Yu Piaoxiang would say that. However, Yu Piaoxiang's words made him feel warm. In this big Qian, whether his father Lu Chun, his mother Yu Chuqing, or the emperor's uncle who paved the way for him and promoted him to the present high position, these are all his close relatives. But when they are together, they are not talking about the state affairs, the court situation, or military strategy and war. Few people can really care about what he thinks, Whether these are what he really wants.

Besides Gu Qingcheng, Yu Piaoxiang is the third one who really cares about his own thoughts. In the middle, there is a happy girl. Lu que knows that Yu Piaoxiang has such a keen intuition because of her childhood suffering, which has shaped her heart like a hair. But what is more gratifying is that years of illness has not made her extreme, instead, it has made her more able to consider problems from other people's standpoint, and also more kind and wise.

Looking at Yu Piaoxiang's face and body, Lu can't help thinking of Yu Tianxiang, who is now in southern Xinjiang, and Yu Minghao, the crown prince in the east palace. In Lu's mind, if yu Piaoxiang is a man, then she is more suitable to inherit the great tradition than Yu Minghao. Since ancient times, there have been no more than two ways to control the court situation. One is the balance of power, and the other is the pure heart.

As for the former, the emperors of all dynasties will have some of them more or less, while for the latter, we may have to go back to the era of emperor ten thousand years ago. The saints in ancient times did not use those tactics, or the imperial mind, to control, to control. They only follow the way of the heart, with a pure heart, thorough world. Therefore, in Lu Que's eyes, it's very rare for princes and daughters to have Yu Piaoxiang's temperament.

Lu que looked at Yu Piaoxiang's serious appearance, with a smile on his face and said, "Piaoxiang, you are the respect of the princess. With your talent and potential, you will not be a famous minister in the future, but a famous commander. If you apply to your majesty to enter the outer court for training, I don't know whether your majesty will agree or not, but I'm afraid the ministers of the outer court will have to live with trepidation every day. "

When Yu Piaoxiang hears the words, Minghui's eyes turn slightly, and then she understands Lu Que's meaning. There must be some secret inside and outside the two pavilions and the central government. These secrets can only be spread among the ministers, but they can't be known to her as a royal family. Once she knows, she will tell her father and emperor, although those ministers won't fight, But it's inevitable to reprimand her openly. That's why Lu que said that if she wanted to go to the outer court, those ministers would tremble every day.

Thinking of this, Yu Piaoxiang said with embarrassment, "I just want to help share some, but I don't think so much."

"I know you mean well, but you are still young, and although your previous illness has been suppressed, it has not been completely cured. There are many and detailed affairs outside the cabinet, and your body is not better than ordinary people, so you'd better not go." Lu que thought for a moment and said, "the list of this year's Chongyang exam has come out. As the second place in the Ding class, you can directly enter the Imperial College no matter which school you choose to go to. However, the courses of the Imperial College are much more onerous than those of ordinary colleges. You'd better spend the last few months reading more books. I'll make a list of books and send them to your palace in a few days, You can see it when you're OK. "

"Well, thank you, cousin." Yu Piaoxiang nodded.

Although some are not reconciled, Yu Piaoxiang, who is already considerate, knows that Lu que is right. And even if she insisted on entering the outer cabinet, her father would probably disagree. Because the most important thing for Daqian now is the war in southern Xinjiang. Her entry into waige will not help. On the contrary, because of her identity, it may disturb the original rhythm of waige.

At this time, Lu que found that Zhuge Yan's figure was peering at him and Yu Piaoxiang outside the royal garden. He seemed to want to come and say something, but he was afraid of interrupting his conversation with Yu Piaoxiang. He stood there with a tangled face.

Lu que knew that Zhuge Yan must have come to see him, which means something must have happened, and it was related to the war in southern Xinjiang. Otherwise, Zhuge Yan, who knew that he would go to the royal garden to send a gift to Princess fragrance, would never have come to see him at this time.

"Fragrance, congratulations again on your winning the second place of jinqiuding. There are still some things in my outer Pavilion, so I won't delay here much. I'll leave now." He said that he got up and bowed to Yu Piaoxiang.

"I know my cousin is busy, so I won't leave him. It's just that the great cause of the emperor is endless. Please take care of your body and don't hurt your mind because of something temporary." Yu Piaoxiang said that he also got up and gave a salute.

Lu que nodded with a smile, arched his hand to Yu Piaoxiang, took a look at a flower garden more than ten steps away, and then walked quickly to the moon gate where Zhuge Yan was.

Yu Piaoxiang looks at Lu Que and Zhuge Yan leaving together. He is in a hurry and sighs in his heart. She knew that his cousin Lu que was the one who gave so much to Wei government, Gu Qingcheng, the army of Southern Xinjiang and the whole world. In addition to Gu Qingcheng's deep affection, what he got was power, fame and status, which he really didn't want, but it was the only thing that his father, or Daqian, could repay him.

Thinking of this, Yu Piaoxiang could not help murmuring, "we Yu's royal family owe too much to Wei's Lu family. I hope that one day, brother Lu can do what he really wants to do, and he will no longer be dragged down by the country. "

"Fragrance, do you really think that this big dry world is just a burden and a drag on Lu que?" A figure suddenly appeared on the stone bench where Lu kuogang was sitting, as if out of thin air. The speaker was Yu Yuanhuan, the illegitimate son of Emperor Xuan, the former Emperor of Da Qian.

Because of his childhood experience, Yu Yuanhuan is very fond of Yu Piaoxiang, who has been weak but understanding since he was a child. Today is the day when the Chongyang test is released. After learning about Yu's ranking, he specially prepared a gift. As the leader of the shadow guard, Yu Piaoxiang's whereabouts can't be hidden from him, but he didn't expect that when he came to the imperial garden, he heard the conversation between Lu Que and Yu Piaoxiang.

"Uncle Huang, you are here." After Yu Piaoxiang saw the visitor, her eyes brightened and she said happily.

Although Yu Yuanhuan is an illegitimate son and has not been included in the royal family pedigree, his blood line is indeed the Daqian royal family, and Yu Piaoxiang has always had a good relationship with him, so he has always been called Uncle Huang. Yu Yuanxu, the emperor of Qian, knows this name, but he does not care about it.

"Yes." Yu Yuanhuan smiles, takes out an exquisite wooden box from behind and pushes it to Yu Piaoxiang, saying, "this is my gift to you. Although it is not as good as the jade statue carved by hand, it is something you have been talking about for a long time. Open it and see if you are satisfied."

"What I want?" Yu Piaoxiang was stunned when he heard the words, and then he was overjoyed. He quickly opened the wooden box and saw a piece of metal the size of two fists lying in the box. He was moved to say, "there are so many. Uncle Huang must have spent a lot of time."

Yu Piaoxiang will be 15 years old soon. At the time of the new year's day, when Qingmu is powerful, according to Qingmu's law, he will enter the state of blood orifices from the foundation building period. However, because she has been ill since childhood, although the foundation building qualification is medium and superior, her physical strength is not as good as that of normal people. Therefore, she has always wanted to use some lighter metal to make a woman's thin sword. Among the lighter metals, the most suitable weapon is feather falling star gold.

Feather falling star gold, as the name suggests, weighs as much as feather, but its firmness and toughness are no less than Star iron. It is the top casting material. However, such things are too rare. Even in the Imperial Palace's Secret Library, there are only a few pieces of apricot stone, which is far from enough to make a fine sword. Yu Piaoxiang did not expect that uncle Yu Yuanhuan could get so many.

"Not much thought." Yu Yuanhuan waved his hand and said, "just a few months ago, a meteorite containing feather falling star gold fell into the kingdom of Shatuo. It was discovered by the shadow guards there. But Shatuo was too far away from us, and there were thirty-six countries across the Shahai sea. It took several months on the road until yesterday to reach Qianyuan city." Yu Yuanhuan saw Yu Piaoxiang's happy expression and said with a smile.

Yu Piaoxiang was even more moved when he heard that it must be the ninth emperor's uncle who ordered to collect the feather falling star gold inside the shadow guard in advance. Only after the shadow guard agent of the Shatuo Kingdom got it, he immediately transported it to the imperial capital.

Moreover, Yu Piaoxiang can imagine that getting the feather falling star gold is not as light as Uncle Huang said. People in the kingdom of Shatuo are not fools, and they can't help but know the value of the gold. Therefore, it must be accompanied by a bloody storm, and even the power that has been buried in the kingdom of Shatuo for many years may be consumed by it. In addition to the thousands of miles of sand sea on the way back to the imperial capital, I don't know how many people lost their lives for this thing. Yu Piaoxiang's eyes were red when she thought of it. She was very kind-hearted, but she didn't expect that such a thing would happen because of her extravagance.

In fact, Yu Piaoxiang's guess is right. The appearance of this feather falling star gold has really set off a fight in the Shatuo kingdom. In order to get it, Yingwei has almost folded in half of the power previously buried in the Shatuo kingdom. Later, the elite of Yingwei, who was responsible for transporting it, disguised as a businessman and organized a caravan to every desert city, They would hire some mercenaries to protect the merchants in the sand sea. However, when they arrived at Mingquan pass in the west of Daqian, nearly 2000 mercenaries employed by this elite of shadow guards died in the sand sea. It can be seen how many times he was attacked and killed, and how many things happened.

Looking at Yu Piaoxiang's weeping expression, Yu Yuanhuan quickly changed the topic and said, "Piaoxiang, you haven't answered my words. Do you really think that the whole world is just a burden for Lu que?"

Yu Piaoxiang takes a look at Yu Yuanhuan. With her intelligence, she can see that Yu Yuanhuan is deliberately changing the topic. She doesn't want to let her know what happened along the way that the feather falling star gold was transported from Shatuo to Qianyuan city. She has to follow Yu Yuanhuan's topic and say, "uncle Huang, if Lu qiaobiao's father is not Duke Wei and his mother is not his aunt, Can he enter Fengming Academy with his mind and talent? "

Yu Yuanhuan frowned when he heard the speech, but he still said truthfully, "two years ago in the Chongyang exam, Lu que was the third place in Ding Jia. If he was only a poor student, then maybe the Ding Jia was not ye Zhiqiu, but he. Naturally, he was able to enter Fengxiang Academy."

Yu Piaoxiang asked again, "because of Lu's temperament and natural appearance, uncle Huang thinks that after he graduated from the Academy, will he choose to enter Daqian court like the three heroes of the poor family, or will he directly choose Daqian to pursue the true meaning of life and the supreme martial arts like Qingchen, the chief businessman of Fengming academy?"

"This ~" Yu Yuanhuan heard that he was stagnant. Based on his understanding of Lu que, he was sure that Lu que, like Shang Qingchen, would refuse to be solicited by the inner and outer pavilions and the central departments of the court and leave Daqian directly. Just like just now, he can be quite sure that Lu que has found him. When Lu que left, he took a look at the direction of the flower garden where he was hiding. It can also prove that such a keen sense of mind, coupled with his talent which was far beyond ordinary people, could he mix with the world again and be contaminated with too much cause and effect, thus making the Taoist heart dust.

If he has such talent as Lu que, he will leave Daqian without hesitation to find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to meditate. After breaking through the Holy Land and casting the Dao fetus, the life span can be broken to the limit, and the life span can reach ten thousand years or more. In the eyes of such people, the dynasties with hundreds or thousands of years in the world of mortals are not worth mentioning, and they don't pay much attention to them.

At this time, Yu Yuanhuan finally understood why his wise and sagacious brother would treat Lu que so well, even break some of the established rules in Da Qian's court, and push Lu que to be superior. He even handed over to him the battle of Southern Xinjiang, which is related to Da Qian's future national movement.

Because only in this way can Lu Qiaoxin be tied up and let him stay in Daqian before he reaches the realm of human beings. For Da Qian, it's a blessing for him to have Lu que, but it's a misfortune for him to pursue martial arts.

"Uncle Huang, do you still think that my Yu family owes cousin Lu que?" Yu Piaoxiang said with a wry smile, "I can't see what my father has done with my cousin Lu Kuo's mind. If it wasn't for my aunt and Duke Wei, maybe my cousin Lu Kuo would have left at the first time, and would never have planned the war in southern Xinjiang as painstakingly as now."

"You're right." Yu Yuanhuan also looked at the direction where Lu Qiaogang had just left and sighed. With a complicated look, he murmured, "elder sister Chang has given birth to a good son."

At the same time, Lu que was walking side by side with Zhuge Yan, and their looks were not good-looking.

"ZHUGE, what happened? Didn't I tell you that I would go back in half an hour at most?" Lu que said with a dignified face, because he knew that if Zhuge Yan could come to him in such a hurry, something must have happened.

Zhuge Yan looked around, lowered his voice and said, "it's news from southern Xinjiang. It's urgent."

"Is it the war report of Southern Xinjiang? Is there an accident? " Lu que frowned. His strategy had been repeated for hundreds of times, and almost everything that might happen had been thought of by him. Although he did not dare to say that it was safe, through his layout, the initiative and the general situation of the southern Xinjiang war were in the hands of Da Qian. Even if he lost several battles, it did not matter. He did not understand why Zhuge Yan's expression was so solemn and anxious.

"It's not war news." Zhuge Yan looked around again and said, "it's from the channel of Dark Phoenix."
