Chapter 431: Looking for a Girl
The team of the Eastern Tour is marching towards Donglin City, the second prince Long Yuan, the sixth prince Long Cuo, the son of heaven Long Xing, and the civil and military officials live in the play every day, only the fourth prince Long Qin is still doing his own thing, debauchery.
However, no one noticed that the people of Qianniuwei would appear next to the car of the fourth prince from time to time......
In order to prevent the butcher of the shepherd wolf from cutting off his head, he had to hurriedly ask for help from the warriors behind him to fill his shortfall.
But how can those shortfalls be so easy to fill?
gold and silver jewelry used to decorate dragon boats; the wages paid to the craftsmen and the rations they need; Armor to equip your team...... These are things that need money! The most annoying thing is that the shepherd wolf actually blatantly asked for a bribe from the king!
The British king had no choice but to ask for help from the southern scholars, so these days on the canal, there are constantly large ships with a very deep draft, which are not only gold and silver, but also a lot of swords, armor, grain and grass equipment. There is no way, in order to win this battle, the Southern Shi clan has spared no effort and poured out......
The shepherd wolf is very comfortable, every day is to listen to what good things Huofeng found in those big boats on the canal, and then listen to Cai Yun, the chief soldier of Donglin City, who is monitored by You Long, and how many soldiers and horses he transferred from.
According to these news, the Sky Wolf roughly estimated that if the soldiers and horses armed by the British King dealt with the more than 30,000 guards brought by Long Xing, although the advantage was not large, it would not suffer a loss.
This is the best, the Shepherd Wolf doesn't want the strength of Long Cuo to be too strong, and then crush Long Xing's men and horses directly! What he needs is a lose-lose situation......
Therefore, the shepherd wolf has decided to play a good game with Long Xing in Donglin City......
……
Longxing City is still the capital of the Tianlong Kingdom for the time being.
At this moment, Longxing City is presided over by the fifth prince Long Xiang, assisted by the right prime minister Huang Shi, and assisted by the left general Pei Hao, but more than half of the four guards in the capital have been transferred, resulting in a little emptiness in the capital.
As for Yang Jie, the general of the guards, the father and son are now guarding Yangzhou, mainly because Chen Guo has just surrendered, and the people's will is not very stable, so Yang Jie is still needed to guard for a period of time. Just like the general of the chariot and cavalry, Ge Shuhan, guarded Jizhou and shocked Youzhou in Yan State.
Although Long Xiang was left to guard the capital, there was actually nothing for him to deal with, because the twists and turns were all sent to Long Xing's eastern patrol team, and national affairs were still handled by Long Xing.
As for the trivial things in Longxing City, with Huang Shi and Pei Hao here, it is not Long Xiang's turn to worry about it.
What Long Xiang has to do every day is to go to the imperial tomb to guard filial piety.
On this day, Zhang Ting came to Luo Xi's house, where Luo Xi and Pei Ying were practicing martial arts in the courtyard and learning from each other. "Yo, you two are comfortable, aren't you?"
Luo Xi hurriedly said: "General Zhang, why do you have time to come to me?" Do you want to play and have fun together? ”
Zhang Ting drooped his head and said, "I'm not interested...... If you want to fight, you can find Luo Hui, Long Day, I'm here to ......"
Pei Ying looked at Zhang Ting's face and guessed a rough idea, "Brother Zhang Ting, you don't want me to bring Xinjiao out, right?" ”
When Zhang Ting heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "It's still Mrs. Luo's intelligence, so ...... I wonder if Mrs. Luo can help with this? I haven't seen the Seventh Princess since I came to the capital......"
Pei Ying said: "I'm afraid it's not good to bring it out, after all, according to the rules, Xinjiao must keep filial piety for at least half a year, if it is long, it may take three years......"
Zhang Ting's heart is cold, three years? I'm a good girl!
After being stunned for a while, Zhang Ting said, "That's it, just wait for a while...... Why did the county lord run away, if she hadn't run, maybe there would have been a chance. ”
When Pei Ying heard this, she was taken aback, "Xinwei ran away?" Where did you go? Isn't she meditating at Putuo Temple...... Don't!? ”
Zhang Ting hurriedly made a silent gesture, "Shhh...... This matter is my idea, He Tianfang is doing it, the county lord should be with my general now, you must not leak it out! Alas, I regret it now, what kind of bad idea is this, it is better to let the county lord stay in the capital......"
Pei Ying and Luo Xi also looked at each other, not knowing what to say, these people were too bold, and even the Queen Mother's heart and soul dared to steal it.
……
In the palace, the seventh princess and the fifth prince went to the imperial mausoleum, and the thirteen were placed in the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace.
On this day, it happened that Song Guogong He Xing entered the palace to say hello to his mother-in-law, and the queen mother had no good impression of her son-in-law, so she said: "Qiang'er has been going to Putuo Temple for some days, has it been back?" This girl is kind-hearted, and there is no disaster or disease, there is no need to always go to Putuo Temple, what is there to cultivate, it is better to enter the palace more to accompany the mourning family......"
When He Xingduan heard this, he was dumbfounded, "Queen Mother, are you saying that Qiang'er went to Putuo Temple to cultivate?" However, Qiang'er clearly told me that you agreed to let her go on a tour of the East to watch the Zen Ceremony? ”
When the Queen Mother heard this, she was also stunned, and hurriedly said: "What nonsense!" Feng Zen ceremony, how can you let women participate, you really don't have a long brain at all? Hurry up and send someone to Putuo Temple to check and see if Qiang'er is in Putuo Temple! Tell me, how did you become a father, you don't even know where your daughter went! If so, if Qiang'er has something missing, mourn the family, mourn the family...... cough cough cough ......"
He Xingduan saw that the Queen Mother was a little up, and said busily: "Queen Mother, don't worry, Qiang'er will definitely be fine, the minister will go and find it!" ”
Seeing this, the thirteenth princess Long Xinru hurriedly patted the queen mother on the back and said, "Don't worry, ancestor, Sister Qiang is protected by Brother Tianwolf, and it will be fine......"
When the Queen Mother heard this, she took Thirteen's hand and said: "The mourning family is really old and confused, why hasn't Xiaoru seen it clearly, the girl must have run to find the shepherd wolf who suffered a thousand cuts!" Okay, don't go to Putuo Temple, go directly to the mourning family to call the mourning family, this thing, this stinky boy must know! ”
When He Xingduan heard this, he hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the queen mother, the minister will go and call Tianfang to question!" ”
The Queen Mother squeezed Thirteen's little hand and said, "Thirteen, why do you say that you all have a good impression of that shepherd wolf?" What's so good about him? ”
Hearing this, Thirteen said: "The old ancestor's words are biased, Brother Tianwolf is not a heinous devil, when we met for the first time, not only did he not eat me, but also took me to Qinli Zhai to pick big and sweet pears!" Later, I went out to play with the Seventh Sister and them, and was almost hit by a horse on the street, and it was Brother Sky Wolf who picked me up, and he was not as blue-faced and fanged as the legend, and he drank blood, I have seen his appearance. ”
When the Queen Mother heard this, she immediately became interested and hurriedly said: "Thirteen, you mean that you have seen the appearance of the shepherd wolf taking off his mask?" But I heard the emperor tell Xinjiao that the shepherd wolf looks ......"
Thirteen smiled and said: "Father and Seventh Sister must have been deceived by Brother Sky Wolf, he is not ugly at all, I have seen Sister Qiang and I, and last time Sister Qiang was married to a far, far away place, in fact, it was Brother Sky Wolf who ran to save her." ”
The county lord was married to Tubo and his relatives, the queen mother still remembers it vividly, it was the queen mother's nightmare, now I feel afraid when I think about it, and I hurriedly said: "Wait, why do you little guy talk more and more about it, isn't it the person who saved Qiang'er from the bounty building?" ”
Thirteen is a child after all, and as soon as the conversation box is opened at this moment, he can't hold it back, and says with a sly face: "Hehe, you have all been deceived!" Brother Sky Wolf has pretended to be a lot of people, but in fact, the son of the Bounty Building is also pretended by Brother Sky Wolf! Oops, I promised to keep it a secret for him...... Ancestor, don't tell anyone about these things, this is our secret, if Brother Sky Wolf knows, he will be angry......"
The Queen Mother has completely believed Thirteen's words at this moment, she was already curious, doesn't her baby granddaughter like that Jianghu Ranger, why is it suddenly not a Shepherd Wolf not to marry, it turns out that this is all a ghost made by Shepherd, and the Jianghu Ranger is Shepherd Wolf himself!
"Hmph, you are a shepherd wolf, you actually kept the mourning family and the emperor, as well as many court officials in the dark! When you come back from Futu Mountain, the mourning family must take a good look at what kind of image and identity you are under your mask! ”
After a while, He Xingduan took He Tianfang to Cining Palace, "Tianfang has seen the Queen Mother, may the Queen Mother ......"
Before He Tian finished speaking, he was interrupted by the Queen Mother, "Okay!" Don't make these false courtesies, the mourning family asks you, did the girl go to find the shepherd wolf? ”
He Tianfang also knew that he couldn't hide it, so he said: "The Queen Mother is wise, just guess it!" Worthy of ......"
"Shut up! The mourning family doesn't have time to play poor with you, don't use these nice sounds to prevaricate the mourning family, you go to chase the team of the Eastern Tour now, and bring Qiang'er back safely, otherwise, the mourning family will ask you! ”
He Tianfang: "......" I'm so difficult!
"Queen Mother, don't worry, the sky will go and bring Qiang'er back!" After speaking, He Tianfang prepared his luggage and went out of the palace to chase the team of the Eastern Tour......
When the Queen Mother looked at He Xingduan now, she felt angry and said, "Why are you still stunned here?" I can't even look at my own daughter! Qiang'er is still a yellow flower girl, if this matter spreads, how will she marry in the future! ”
He Xingduan hurriedly said: "The minister understands, the minister will spread the news that Qiang'er is going to cultivate in Putuo Temple for a period of time, and then make some arrangements in Putuo Temple......
After speaking, He Xingduan also left, of course, to take a walk to fake the news and arrange for the fake county lord to go to Putuo...... The Queen Mother and He Xingduan were also heartbroken for the reputation of the county lord, but unfortunately the county lord is now snuggled in the arms of the shepherd wolf, and the two of them sat in the boat, looking at the scenery of the city on the east coast, completely forgetting everything in the world......
……
In the imperial tomb, there are not only the seven princesses and the five princes, but also the five princesses and the six princesses.
The sixth princess Long Xinqing is kind-hearted, and she can't see this kind of scene of life and death, so as soon as she returns to the capital, she often accompanies the seventh princess.
Although the relationship between the seventh princess and the sixth princess was average before, it was not a bad relationship, and now the sixth princess often accompanies her, so that she is very grateful to her as the sixth sister.
The fifth princess is different, she didn't come to the imperial mausoleum to keep filial piety to the queen, although the prince and princess mainly kept filial piety, but only for the emperor, the queen kept filial piety, and couldn't keep filial piety to her own mother, but you can't control this thing.
Therefore, the fifth princess used the excuse of keeping filial piety to the queen and often entered the imperial mausoleum, but in fact, she was keeping filial piety to her mother.
At this time, the seventh princess and the fifth princess are very harmonious, although the two will not greet each other when they meet, and they will not give each other a good face, but at least they will not quarrel as soon as they meet like before.
It's just that for the sake of the six princesses, they always have to take care of the emotions of these two.
The sixth princess often talks to the seventh princess about her time in the south, talking about her eldest brother Jiang Yang, and also talking about Xiao Zhao and Qin Xuan, whenever this happens, the sixth princess's face is always filled with a happy smile, and the seventh princess also has someone she likes, how can she not understand......
"Sixth sister, do you like that snow boy? Indeed, he is also a talent, and his martial arts are also outstanding......"
Long Xinqing hurriedly said: "Xinjiao, in the imperial tomb, don't talk nonsense!" Our identity, who we want to marry is not up to us, what do we say we like or not......"
The seventh princess didn't care about this, and said with a grin: "Sixth sister, although it is difficult to deal with feelings, we should always fight for ourselves, maybe your eldest brother Jiang Yang is working hard to marry you, you can't be discouraged!" If you are discouraged, won't you be very sorry for him? ”
Long Xinqing listened to her seventh sister's words and said, "Xinjiao, these words don't seem to come out of your mouth?" ”
The seventh princess sighed and said, "After experiencing a lot, I will naturally understand...... For me, my master went to the northwest, went deep into the enemy camp, and pacified the Qiang rebellion in a battle, and now worships the general and the marquis, but I can't even go out to see him...... I won't give up, though, and I know he'll wait for me! Sixth sister, you also have to believe in your eldest brother Jiang Yang, he must be working hard to marry you. ”
Only then did Long Xinqing understand that her sister had gone through this, and it seemed that if she wanted to grow up, she really had to go through more things......
Long Xinqing nodded and said, "Xinjiao, you're right, we can't give up lightly......"
The words of the sixth princess and the seventh princess were all taken into the ears of the fifth princess word for word, but what else could she do except envy? What man will be there who will work hard silently for her without fear of hardships and dangers......
Now the fifth princess, even seeing someone she likes has become a luxury.
