Chapter Ninety-Nine: Civil Strife in Xijon (1)
On a snowy night, it was already dark. Because of her leg injury, Shen Rong can't go anywhere at the moment, and she eats and sleeps in the house every day. It has been almost half a month since he was plundered to Xirong. Except when she first arrived here, she had seen a fierce-looking young man, who asked her a few words in the blunt Xia Dynasty language, and confirmed that she was the legendary princess, and after she was suspected of being the princess of Xirong, no one paid attention to her again. Except for the servant woman of Xijon in the house, and a few rough palace maids, she couldn't see anyone. And she doesn't want to see too many people, and intuitively, she thinks that the more people she sees, the easier it is to show her flaws. If they find out about their impostor identity, the consequences are really unpredictable. The ugliness of those people in front of her that night, she still has palpitations when she thinks about it. She couldn't guarantee that the man named Mundan would be by her side at all times. Shen Rong slept in the tent and slept very unsteadily. All the way west to the present, she can be said to have experienced too many ups and downs. This experience, she felt more wonderful than the novels she had read before.
"Princess, princess!" Someone whispered in her ear. Shen Rong heard the voice and quickly woke up. "Who?" She was about to exclaim, but someone covered her mouth. "Don't be afraid, princess, I'm here to save you." The voice of the person who came was very small, and Shen Rong could barely hear it. In the dark, she couldn't even see the faces of the people who came. I only felt that her body was light, and her whole body had been carried up. "Ahh She was so frightened that she almost screamed, but her mouth was soon gagged with a cotton handkerchief. She inhaled a faint scent in her nose, and soon she lost consciousness.
"Your Highness Najib, Princess Purple Smoke is gone!" At dawn, the Xirong guards who were patrolling found something strange in Shen Rong's room, went in to check, and found that there was no Shen Rong. And all the servants in her house were unconscious. So he hurriedly told the eldest prince Najib. "You shit!" The eldest prince jumped to his feet in anger in the palace! "How many times have I told you, she is protected by Meng Dan, and she must strengthen her precautions!" The guard at the head said in a low voice: "The princess had a foot injury before, so she couldn't move at all. Meng Dan is no matter how high his martial arts are. It's not easy to carry an injured person and disappear right under our noses. When we made our rounds last night, we didn't find anything out of the ordinary. The more the eldest prince listened, the more angry he became, and kicked over: "Are you still reasonable?" Can't you even look at a woman with a broken foot? "The man was kicked in the heart by the eldest prince. Fell to the ground all at once. I didn't dare to say anything more, but I heard the eldest prince say, "Give me chase now!" If you can't find anyone, the next military slave will be chosen from your family! Hearing him mention the military slaves, the faces of those people changed. I didn't dare to say anything more, so I quickly got up and left.
"Lord Sang Qing, you have been born and died so many times for Your Highness, and Your Highness actually wants your family to be military slaves as soon as you open your mouth. His Royal Highness is really too unkind. A fat man with a black face said to the leader with an angry face. Oh, yes! We have not followed him for a day or two, and every time the brothers have completed their tasks, they are fine, and if something goes wrong, His Highness will take action on our family. It is really chilling for His Highness to do this. Hearing the indignant discussions of the people below, Sang Qing didn't say a word. Which one of the military slaves proposed to kill a thousand knives? Our warriors are out on the march. If you are injured and bleeding, you will not only not be rewarded, but you will also be humiliated by your family! If this continues, who else wants to go to war? "Whoever likes to go, I don't want to do it anyway. We don't have a copy of the treasures of Great Xia that we have grabbed. And put the lives of your family upside down! Someone muttered quietly.
"No one is allowed to escape, we Xijon, but there are no cowards and cowards!" After hearing the last sentence, Sang Qing suddenly straightened his face and shouted loudly. The voices of those people were gone. However, Sang Qing thinks. The team they are moving forward at the moment is far from the wolf-like fierceness that they had at the beginning of their establishment.
When Shen Rong woke up again, she found herself lying in a gorgeous room. The eye is a red coral bonsai several feet high, next to the bonsai. It is a shelf with a multi-treasure design like the Xia Dynasty, and all kinds of curiosities are placed on it. There were things she had seen, and there were things she hadn't seen. And on the wall facing the window, she also saw a pair of paintings and calligraphy from the Great Xia Dynasty. If it weren't for the woolen blanket covered by Xirong on her body, and the maid next to her dressed in Xirong costume, Shen Rong would have thought that she had returned to the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Seeing Shen Rong open her eyes and look around. The maid hurriedly stepped forward: "Princess, are you awake?" But it is a standard official dialect of the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty. Shen Rong was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Where is this?" How did I end up here? The maid said, "This is the Heavenly Master's Mansion, and the Shaman Heavenly Master asked you to rescue you." "Heavenly Master's Mansion? Shaman? What are they? Shen Rong was full of doubts, but she didn't dare to show it. I heard the maid say again, "The slave's name is Gesang Medo." It was the Heavenly Master who asked me to wait on you. You can just call me Meadow. Shen Rong looked at Mei Duo and found that she was very beautiful, with thick long hair, braided into many small braids that hung down to her shoulders, and was covered with all kinds of silver jewelry. He has a round face, big double eyelids, a high nose, plump lips, and bright red cheeks. is a standard Xijon beauty. couldn't help but praise: "Mei Duo, you really look as good as a flower." Mei Duo heard Shen Rong's praise and laughed happily. Princess, you are the beauty of our Sijon! I heard the Heavenly Master say that when the queen married here, her beauty shocked the king, and he thought she was a heavenly maiden! Princess, you look exactly like the portrait of the queen in the palace. Shen Rong heard her mention Queen Xirong, and kept saying that she was similar to the queen, which couldn't help but arouse her curiosity. I couldn't help but ask Mei Duo about the old things of the queen back then.
"I don't know the specifics, but that's how it went. I heard the palace ladies of the older generation say and secretly wrote them down. Because it is related to the secrets of the royal family, everyone does not dare to say more. Since you have asked me today, Princess, I will take the risk of telling you about it. If the Celestial Master knows, don't forget to intercede with me. Shen Rong heard Mei Duo tell Mei Duo how the queen Wulanzhu married the king of Xirong, and how she was provoked by others to turn against her, and finally the queen died, and Ziyan could only go to a foreign country to talk about it roughly, only to know that Ziyan was really a veritable princess, and her life experience was twists and turns, which was very embarrassing. couldn't help but sigh, although Ziyan was a princess, she had to suffer so much persecution and cold treatment. On the contrary, it is not as happy as the daughters of ordinary people. It's herself. Although she was just a concubine when she was at home, she had always had the favor of Master Gao and the care of Aunt Liu. Between sisters, although there are occasional disputes, they are compared to Ziyan. That's not a thing. It can be seen that the status is noble and the power is monstrous, and sometimes it is not a good thing. Thinking of these, Shen Rong remembered that when she left the palace, the smart concubine Xie Qinshu and her beautiful and outstanding daughter Hongqi in the palace. Wood shows in the forest. The wind will destroy it. At this moment, Shen Rong fully realized the shortcomings of her previous personality and the hard work that Hu had worked her in order to polish her temperament when she was originally in her mother's house. It's just that she is alone in this foreign country at the moment, and she has never missed her hometown and family more than now.
"Princess, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that Shen Rong's face was different, Mei Duo hurriedly asked her. "My leg injury hasn't gotten any better. The stinging pain is still terrible. Shen Rong frowned, pointed to her injured right leg, and said to her. Mei Duo hurriedly stepped forward to check Shen Rong's injuries. It was found that Shen Rong's leg injury was really serious. It didn't look like it would heal for a while, and Mei Duo was also very anxious. "I'll find the Heavenly Master and ask him to give you some medicine to ensure that your leg won't hurt soon." Shen Rong gratefully accepted her offer.
"Do you think this princess is really our Purple Smoke Princess?" The gray-haired shaman sits in a rocking chair, holding a scripture in his hand, his eyes closed, and his mouth reciting words. After seeing Meadow, he suddenly opened his eyes. The coercion in his eyes swelled for a moment and almost made Mei Duo subconsciously kneel. However, his expression quickly returned to normal. Mei Duo regained her composure and said to him, "In my opinion. There's a good chance that this princess isn't real. She really knows too little about us Xirong. Hearing this, the Heavenly Master smiled with relief and said to Mei Duo: "Yes, there is progress." Careful observation is important. So. You say, if this princess is fake, what are you going to do next? Mei Duo glanced at the Heavenly Master and said, "Whether it's true or not, what can be used by me is true." Do you say? The Heavenly Master smiled and said, "Yes." Now the people of the Great Prince are squirrying around like flies without heads. It shows that the eldest prince must have taken her for real. Case. We're going to use her as if it's real. Mei Duo nodded, and stepped back in response.
Xirong, Ulan Ministry, Minister Chahar looked at the flying pigeon in his hand, and a smile of excitement appeared on his face. "Heavenly Master has a good idea, use the identity of Princess Ziyan to oust the eldest prince first." He soon blew the iron whistle hanging on his chest, and he gathered fifty of the bravest warriors of his clan, and followed him straight to the royal capital of Xijon. At the same time, the other three tribes of Xirong gathered with men and horses to the royal capital. The news they received was all from the Heavenly Master's Mansion: "Princess Ziyan has returned to China with the edict of the first king. The eldest prince will soon step down, so I would like to invite you to come to the palace to testify. Almost overnight, the entire Xijon spread the same news: "Princess Ziyan is back, and she is the real lord of Xirong." She carries the edict of the former king by her side. Whether the news is true or not, everyone who hears the news is excited and happy.
"If the eldest prince steps down, the rules he established for sitting and military slaves can also be abolished, right?" Almost everyone who heard the news thought the same way, but they had always been forced by the obscenity of the eldest prince to dare not put their joy on their faces. It's just that I hope that the eldest prince will step down as soon as possible.
"Who told you to come?" When the eldest prince saw the leaders of the four major tribes suddenly gathered in the palace, he couldn't help but be a little confused. "We received a notice from the Heavenly Master to meet Princess Ziyan together." Chahar, who was the leader, looked at the eldest prince and made his intentions clear. "Where did the purple smoke come from? Didn't the princess die ten years ago with the queen? Why are you also messing around with the Heavenly Master? He told me a few days ago that he had seen the soul of Princess Purple Smoke. Why are you all serious? "The eldest prince casually told a lie, trying his best to keep his composure, but in his heart he spewed the blood of the shaman's scolding heavenly master." The eldest prince, you are not right to say that. The Heavenly Master is the most sacred person in our Xirong, and he cannot be blasphemed casually. He said that Princess Ziyan was back, and presumably the princess must have returned. Don't try to hide it from us. "The tribe of Chahar is the head of the four tribes, and his words have always carried a lot of weight. Many of the people of Sijon believed in the shamans, including the Chahar tribes. Therefore, when he heard the eldest prince open his mouth to slander the shaman at will, Chahar was very displeased. When the eldest prince heard this, he was furious. This Heavenly Master is really in the way. He only revealed to him a little news that Ziyan might be alive, and he actually summoned the leaders of the four major tribes over like this. Ziyan has just been kidnapped, where is he going to change into a person now? Even if Ziyan was here at the moment, he would definitely not let them meet Ziyan. Just kidding, these four leaders were the heads of Wang's die-hard troops back then. Let them know about the edict of the first king, and see the living purple smoke, what position does he have standing here? I'm afraid that they will be driven out of the palace immediately. No matter what, the fire burns the eyebrows, and looks at the eyes. Since they came to force the palace, don't blame him for making the first move. Take down these old guys first, and are you afraid that their people will resist? The eldest prince's mind flashed, and he soon thought of a plan to delay the army.
"Speaking of which, what the Celestial Master said to you is not all wrong. I recently received news from the Great Xia Dynasty that our Princess Ziyan may still be alive, and that she was also made the county lord by the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, and married to the prince of their side, that is, the one who came to assassinate Nadaru in the spring. Now that the princess is in Xijing, I have sent someone to check the details of the princess. If she really is our princess, I will go there to greet her. Now, please be patient and wait for the news! In this way, since you are here, I will do my best to be a landlord, there is the best wine in the palace, and we will not get drunk tonight! (To be continued.) )
PS: Thank you for your support! I will definitely insist!
