Chapter 174: Preemptive Strike

Lu Wan rode back to the city gate in the evening, and saw that Li Yufen was still waiting there helplessly, she didn't have any leisure to care about her, and before she could react, she drove the horse into the city gate, and the guards at the city gate recognized her, so they naturally didn't dare to stop her.

Li Yufen felt that the whole day was really bad today, but even when she was caught back by Li Wei, she didn't feel so annoyed, she couldn't figure out how Jian Yu could leave her alone outside the city gate, and ran away with the inexplicable "Mr. Lu", because she was afraid that Jian Yu would not find her when she came back, so she kept standing in place and didn't dare to move, she finally waited for Mr. Lu to come back, and was about to stop her horse to ask for an understanding, but she didn't expect that Mr. Lu ignored him at all, and went straight into the city on his horse. only let her eat a butt of ashes, she was very angry, no one had ever dared to treat her like this, she secretly gritted her teeth, thinking that if she had the opportunity to meet this Mr. Lu again, she would definitely not let her have a good time!

Li Yufen was angry in place for a while, and when she saw Jian Yu also riding back, she immediately greeted her, and asked very aggrievedly: "Brother Jian, where have you been, what happened to you just now, why did you leave me alone, ...... with that Mr. Lu?"

Jian Yu didn't have time to listen to Li Yufen's nonsense, he interrupted impatiently: "Get on the horse, we have to leave here immediately." ”

Li Yufen looked at Jian Yu's face, and stopped talking in a funny way, but obediently got on the horse. Jian Yu flicked the reins of the horse, didn't talk nonsense to Li Yufen, turned the horse's head and galloped away, Li Yufen rushed behind him with some difficulty, her face became more and more ugly, but she still gritted her teeth. Not a word of complaint.

Not long after Lu Wan entered the city, she got off the horse, she waited in place for a while, and she didn't see anyone entering the city, so she finally breathed a sigh of relief, she knew that Jian Yu was leaving, today's words were so decisive, he should be able to die, and the two of them may really have no intersection in the future, I just hope that he can live well.

Lu Wan returned to Zheng's mansion in the evening. is still her "Mr. Lu". And Li Wei was still in Fahua Temple at this time, and finally suppressed all those beggars, and most of his anger was gone, and he handed over the aftermath to Captain Ma. He rode his horse back to the palace of King Qin. Princess Qin didn't know about Jian Yu and Li Yufen being taken away by Lu Wanwan. But seeing that only Jian Yu came back, he guessed that something must have changed, so he frowned and asked, "What about Jian Yu and Fen'er?" ”

Li Wei's expression was gloomy. He replied in a deep voice: "Let the Zheng family's people take it away." ”

"People from the Zheng family?" Princess Qin was stunned for a moment, and then asked again, "Is it Zheng Houzhong's person?" What did he take them for, did he know Fen'er's identity? ”

Li Wei didn't know if Zheng Houzhong knew Li Yufen's identity, but he couldn't think of any other reason, that Mr. Lu appeared inexplicably and took people away inexplicably, which is really incomprehensible.

"It must be like this, they know Fen'er's identity, and they want to arrest them to threaten us, it must be Wanwan, it must be Wanwan, it is Wanwan who told Zheng Houzhong Fen'er's identity, Fen'er's identity is so secret, no one except us knows at all, it must be Wanwan leaked out, that slut, in order to save his life, he really did everything!" Princess Qin immediately thought of a possibility, and scolded hatefully.

Li Wei frowned slightly, Princess Qin scolded Wanwan like this in front of him, he was still a little uncomfortable, but he also understood in his heart that this was the most reasonable explanation, Li Yufen's identity was secret, and few people knew it, Zheng Houzhong could not know this secret from elsewhere, and he could only learn from Wanwan's mouth, so ...... Wanwan is really still in the Zheng Mansion. "Then the mother, are we going to go to the door and ask for someone back?" Li Wei asked out loud again.

Princess Qin pondered for a moment before she sneered and said: "No need, that Zheng Houzhong has a good plan and wants to threaten us with Fen'er, but he may not know it yet, we are almost torn apart with the emperor, I was also ready to threaten the emperor with Fen'er, but now that the person has been taken away by Zheng Houzhong, I can just use this reason to send troops to him, he thinks he has done those small actions recently, I don't know, I want to win over those small garrisons to rebel, he thinks it's very good, but also to see if he has the ability!" ”

Li Wei was still thinking about Lu Wanwan's affairs, listening to Princess Qin's words, but she was silent, Princess Qin looked at him, there was an inexplicable love flashing in her eyes, she picked up the teacup and slowly took a sip of tea, only then did she say to him softly: "Wei'er, my mother actually doesn't want to force you, but now the matter is urgent, if we want to wipe out the Zheng family, we will inevitably need the help of the Sun family, so ......"

Li Wei listened quietly, obviously already knowing what Princess Qin wanted to say, but this time his reaction was very calm, he didn't wait for Princess Qin to finish speaking, he said directly: "Mother, I understand what Niangniang means, I can also agree to marry the young lady of the Sun family, but I have a request, I hope you can agree to me." ”

Princess Qin obviously didn't expect Li Wei to agree so easily, he thought that he was going to waste his tongue, but he was suddenly overjoyed, and responded: "If Wei'er has any request, just say it, my mother will definitely agree to you!" ”

Li Wei hesitated slightly, as if he had made up his mind, and said: "If you find Wanwan in the Zheng family, I hope my mother can hand over someone to me." ”

When Princess Qin heard this, her face immediately changed greatly, a fierce color flashed in her eyes, and she said with hatred: "Why are you still thinking about that little slut, there are so many women in this world, how can you remember such a woman who killed your father, are you worthy of your father's spirit in the sky!" ”,

Li Wei's expression was also very painful, but he still insisted: "Mother, this is my only request, I just want to ask her face to face, whether it was her father who killed her, otherwise I will never be able to untie this knot!" ”

Princess Qin was extremely angry, but after all, there was nothing to say, she knew her son's temper, and she would definitely not hit the south wall and not look back, and if she thought about it, she was just a woman, if someone really got it back, there would be a chance to kill her in the future, so it was better to agree to her son now.

Princess Qin nodded after all, and said helplessly: "Okay, my mother will depend on you, but you will follow me to the Sun family tomorrow to propose marriage." ”

Listen to Princess Qin's promise. Li Wei also breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately nodded: "Don't worry, since I promised my mother, I will definitely marry Miss Sun." ”

Only then did Princess Qin put her mind at ease, and told her some precautions when going to Sun's house on the People's Day, so that Li Wei went back to rest.

Early in the morning of the second day, Princess Qin took Li Wei to Zheng's house, because they had delivered the post in advance, so Sun Jianying and his wife were waiting for them outside the door in person, and when the carriage of the palace arrived at the door of Sun's house. That Sun Jianying immediately changed and greeted his wife with him. "The princess and the prince are here, and the contempt will really be disappointed."

Li Wei came on horseback, and he immediately got off the horse, saluted Sun Jianying, and said, "General Sun, you are polite." It's time for the juniors to greet you. ”

Sun Jianying didn't even dare to say it. At this time, Princess Qin was also helped down from the carriage by the maids. Smiled and walked up to Sun Jianying and said: "The dog is a junior, and it is natural to perform the junior salute in front of General Sun, and you should be the general." ”

Sun Jianying didn't say anything. greeted Princess Qin and the two into the mansion. When they reached the hall, they sat down and spoke. Sun Jianying was the master, so he asked first: "I don't know what happened to the princess's visit today?" ”

Princess Qin only smiled, glanced at Mrs. Sun, and then slowly spoke: "A few days ago, when Mrs. Zun arrived at the palace, I mentioned it to her, I know that the youngest daughter of the general and his wife will be married this year, and my son is also in the year of the weak crown, I think that my son is the same age as Ling Ai, so I want to ask Ling Ai to marry for my son." ”

In fact, Sun Jianying had already guessed the purpose of Princess Qin's personal visit today, but he secretly complained in his heart, if that bad incident did not happen, he must be very willing to marry the palace, but it was good that the matter was not discovered, once it was discovered, the marriage would become a feud, and since that incident was discovered by the Zheng family, he did not dare to act rashly, so Sun Jianying just frowned and said: "This ...... Not long after King Qin was buried, the princess mentioned family affairs, this is probably not very appropriate, right? ”

Princess Qin also knew that Sun Jianying would have this concern, so she had already thought of a countermeasure, and said with a smile: "It's just that the two children are married first, and they are not in a hurry to get married so quickly, I just want the general and his wife to be such a daughter, and I must be reluctant for her to marry so early, so I thought, let's settle the marriage first, and then hold the wedding after the three-year filial piety period expires, so that Ling Ai can accompany the general and his wife for three years, isn't it a matter of killing two birds with one stone." ”

That Mrs. Sun is very satisfied with Li Wei, the fast son-in-law of Chenglong, and being able to become an in-law with the palace is something that many people can't ask for, she naturally doesn't want to let go, and after something like that happened to her daughter, such a good marriage, she naturally has to pay more attention, she thinks differently from Sun Jianying, she thinks that what her daughter did was well concealed by them, as long as it is handled well, it will never be revealed.

Mrs. Sun was about to say yes, but Sun Jianying was one step ahead of her and said, "Princess, I still have to think about this matter, you see ......"

Hearing Sun Jianying's words, the smile on Princess Qin's face suddenly faded a little, she thought that she would come to the door in person to propose, this Sun Jianying should be full of promises, but she didn't expect him to think about it, she suddenly felt that this person didn't know how to lift, but she still nodded with a chuckle on her face and said: "This is a marriage event after all, General Sun really has to think about it, but I hope it won't take too long......"

Sun Jianying finally agreed to give Princess Qin a reply after three days, he personally sent Princess Qin and Li Wei away, and watched them get into the carriage and slowly leave, with a very solemn look on his face.

Mrs. Sun, who was standing beside him, was very puzzled and asked him: "Master, why don't you agree to them, this marriage is very good for our Rui'er......"

"Woman's view! Do you think that Princess Qin will come to the door to ask for marriage for no reason, but she just wants to use this marriage in exchange for my grandson's family to work hard for her. Sun Jianying was upset, and when she heard Mrs. Sun say this, she snorted lightly and reprimanded.

Mrs. Sun was suddenly very aggrieved, she was indeed a woman's family, and she didn't understand these twists and turns, so she just continued: "You also know Rui'er...... Now like this, I'm afraid that I won't be able to get married for a year and a half, so Princess Qin said that she can get married again in three years, isn't it just right......"

When Mrs. Sun mentioned this, Sun Jianying was angry again, blowing her beard and glaring: "A loving mother is so defeated, if you didn't spoil her too much, how could she be so lawless and make a ...... In that kind of thing, our Sun family's face was lost by her!

Mrs. Sun just said with a sad face: "Our Rui'er has not been deceived by that traitor. She is young and so simple, and she will only ...... if she listens to those rhetorical words. Isn't she already repentant now, master, you must help her, I can't watch my daughter ruin the happiness of the rest of her life! ”

Sun Jianying listened to Mrs. Sun's crying, and her face was also sad, so she could only sigh helplessly, and raised her head to warn her: "You just take good care of Rui'er, I have my own plans for his marriage." But it will definitely not be the Qin Palace. You don't have to worry about that. After Sun Jianying finished speaking, she brushed her sleeves away, leaving Mrs. Sun still there with a handkerchief to wipe her tears. When Sun Jianying returned to the study, he wrote a letter to Lu Wanwan, and after writing it, he directly ordered his henchmen to secretly send it to the Zheng Mansion. When Lu Wanwan received this letter. I was also secretly a little surprised. I didn't expect Princess Qin to persuade Li Wei so quickly, she burned the letter, and wrote a reply letter to Sun Jianying. It seems that her plan is going to be implemented ahead of schedule.

Sun Jianying received a reply from Lu Wanwan, and knew that their plan might have to be implemented in advance, he didn't expect that Qin Wangfu was such an unbearable person, but since he had already allied with the Zheng family, he could only be sorry for Qin Wangfu.

Princess Qin didn't know the conspiracy and treachery, the next day, Mrs. Sun came to the door in person, and the marriage of the two of them was answered, Princess Qin was naturally overjoyed, and a few days later she invited the Sun family's family, but it was a pity that Miss Sun Lanrui of the Sun family was ill and could not come, but in addition to this regret, it can be regarded as a joy for the guests and hosts.

After the banquet, Princess Qin invited Sun Jianying to the study to discuss important matters, and Princess Qin vaguely revealed to Sun Jianying that Lu Wanwan had kidnapped the royal princess.

When Sun Jianying heard this, he was very surprised, and his expression immediately became stern, and he pondered for a moment before asking Princess Qin, "What the princess said is true?" ”

"It's true, how dare I joke about this kind of thing, that princess is temporarily arranged by the emperor to take care of me, how do you know that Zheng Houzhong got the news from somewhere, and actually kidnapped the princess who went to Shangxiang to threaten me, this kind of behavior is really unforgivable, please general, you must help me, crusade against that Zheng Houzhong together, and save Her Royal Highness the princess."

Sun Jianying frowned and thought for a long time, he didn't know if what Princess Qin said was true or not, but he actually didn't care in his heart, but it was just a princess who couldn't see the light, and it was impossible for the emperor to make a big deal for her.

"When does the princess want to act?" Sun Jianying continued to ask quietly

"Naturally, the sooner the better, to avoid startling the snakes, and to catch them all when Zheng Houzhong is not paying attention." Princess Qin replied with an anxious expression.

Sun Jianying didn't rush to agree, but only asked tentatively: "Then if the Zheng Mansion is defeated in one fell swoop, ...... those troops under Zheng Houzhong?"

Princess Qin's eyes flickered slightly, and she said to him: "General Sun, we will soon become a family, where do we need to worry so much, aren't yours and mine all the same?" ”

Sun Jianying listened to Princess Qin's answer, and knew her attitude well, and suddenly felt some disdain in his heart, saying that he was a family, but he didn't want to monopolize those soldiers in his heart, and he really took him as the wronged leader, so it was no wonder that he united with the Zheng family to deal with the Qin Palace.

Seeing that Sun Jianying didn't speak, Princess Qin thought that he was dissatisfied, so she asked tentatively: "Does General Sun have any opinions, even if you say it, we don't have to be so dissatisfied." Sun Jianying raised his head at this time, and said with a smile: "I agree with your statement, princess, we will soon become a family anyway, and we really don't need to worry so much." ”

Princess Qin was relieved at this time, and discussed some details with Sun Jianying, then Li Wei had been sitting aside and listening quietly, for some reason, he was always a little uneasy in his heart, and felt that things seemed to be ...... It was too smooth, but he couldn't say what was wrong, so he could only suppress those doubts in his heart for the time being.

Sun Jianying came out of the Qin Palace, it was already very late, but he did not go back to the house directly, but directly let the carriage drive to the restaurant where he met Lu Wanwan last time, still in the same room, and when he arrived there, he saw Lu Wanwan ordering a large table of wine and food, and he was very happy to eat.

When Lu Wan saw Sun Jianying coming over, he put down his chopsticks and stood up, saluted him, and said with a smile: "The general finally came, and finally let Lu not wait in vain." ”

Sun Jianying walked to the table and sat down, her attitude towards Lu Wanwan was not as bad as the previous two times, her tone was a little softer, and she said slowly: "I've kept you waiting." ”

Lu Wanwan got up and poured Sun Jianying a glass of wine in person, and then said with a smile: "For the sake of the big things of you and me, it is worth it for Lu to wait a little longer." ”

Sun Jianying was also not polite, picked up the wine glass and clinked glasses with Na Lu Wanwan and said, "Then I wish us can do it as soon as possible." After speaking, he drank all the wine in the cup.

Lu Wanwan immediately drank the wine in the cup, sat down, and asked Sun Jianying: "The general went to the Qin Palace, but Princess Qin said when she was going to do it?"

Sun Jianying nodded with a heavy expression and said: "Princess Qin is going to send troops to attack the Zheng Mansion in five days, they are ready to raid at night, and when the Zheng Mansion is defenseless, they will surround the Zheng Mansion and kill them all." ”

Lu Wanwan nodded, but it was similar to what she had originally thought, and while she was pondering, Sun Jianying asked again: "Mr. Lu, there is something that the old man wants to confirm with you." ”

"If General Sun has anything, just ask." Lu Wanwan immediately raised his head and said.

"According to Princess Qin, you have taken a princess hostage, is it true?" Sun Jianying looked at Lu Wanwan and asked.

Lu Wanwan also thought that Sun Jianying would ask this, so he immediately replied: "General Sun, you were deceived by the Qin Palace, we didn't kidnap that princess, but saved her."

"Oh? Could it be that there is a secret in this? Sun Jianying didn't expect that there were two more theories about this matter, and suddenly asked very suspiciously.

"Actually, here's the thing, the princess did live in the Qin Mansion temporarily, but later there were some conflicts with the Qin Princess, she wanted to leave the Qin Palace, who would have thought that the Qin princess wanted to put her under house arrest, so she secretly sent a maid out to report the news, it happened that the maid was met by our Zheng family, we knew about it, naturally we couldn't see death without help, while the princess went to Fahua Temple to pray for blessings, we rescued the person, and then sent the person away, and now the princess is probably already on the way back to Bianjing." Lu Wanwan told Sun Jianying that she didn't lie, but just reorganized the truth of the matter.

After Sun Jianying heard this, his brows suddenly furrowed even tighter, and he was now a little confused, not sure who was telling the truth. But this is not a big deal, he is now in alliance with the Zheng Mansion, so he naturally believes more in Lu Wanwan's words, so he nodded and said: "So that's the case, fortunately, Mr. Lu, you informed me in time, otherwise I would really be kept in the dark, then Princess Qin is really bold, even the princess dares to be placed under house arrest, isn't she afraid of the thunder of the saint." ”

Lu Wanwan chuckled, and then said slowly: "Princess Qin is naturally not afraid, not to mention that it is 108,000 miles away from the capital, even if the princess wants to send a letter to the emperor, I'm afraid it will not be so easy, even if she really sends the letter to the emperor, the emperor wants to send troops to save people, it will take a lot of trouble, Shu Road is difficult, it is difficult to go to the blue sky, this is ancient, we have a dangerous reason here, and the march is naturally very difficult, otherwise our garrisons will not be able to stay in this Shuchuan in peace." ”

After Lu Wanwan's explanation, Sun Jianying naturally nodded again and again, looked at Lu Wanwan and said with a smile: "It's still Mr. Lu, you think thoughtfully, you send the princess back, and when she arrives in the capital, tell the emperor, the emperor must remember the Zheng family's merits in his heart, this reward must be indispensable, sir, don't forget my old friends when the time comes." ”

"The general's words are outside, the emperor's reward is nothing to us, with General Sun helping my general, Lu Mou can really be at ease in this Qicheng in the future." Lu Wanwan smiled and said very humbly.

Sun Jianying touched the beard on his chin, and said with a smile: "I think Mr. Lu is a person with great ability, and General Zheng will be unlimited in the future with your assistance." (To be continued......) I1292
