On the southern pastures of Xiazhou, a brown horse gallops across the meadow. The girl on horseback was dressed in a tight short dress, her legs were stronger and more slender, her riding skills were good, her body rose and fell in harmony, the back of the horse was bumpy, and the upper part of her dress was like a jelly wrap. The steed ran so fast that the team of horses protecting her could not keep up, and followed hard behind.

Li Yueji was facing the direct sunlight, and she didn't care about being tanned now, so she went crazy with a breath in her heart. Sweat trickled down from under the round hat adventure, beads of sweat glittering like jewels on her goose-yellow skin.

The oncoming wind pressed on her face and eyes like a huge pressure, and her eyes could not flow out of her sour eyes.

How I want to be like this horse, able to run freely between heaven and earth.

At this moment, Yiqi caught up with Li Yueji, "Phew! Sigh! The big man on the horse shouted a few times, and finally made Li Yueji slow down.

"Brother ......" Li Yueji's voice was a little choked.

Brother Yu said: "The county lord can't go to the Central Plains, I heard Uncle Fei say that the women of the Central Plains can only stay in one courtyard and can't go out for the rest of their lives!" How is this different from going to jail? ”

Li Yueji's expression was gloomy, and her bright complexion seemed to have suddenly lost some color. But her expression froze, and she bit her lip and said, "I can't go with you." ”

"Why?" Brother Yu said urgently.

Li Yueji said: "Brother Yu said that if you go north, you have to pass through the Yong'an Festival Town (Fuzhou) of the Zhou people, even if you escape the scouts of the Zhou people, there are people from the Liao State in the north...... Brother Yu is not afraid of fierce beasts, but the most terrifying thing in the world is not beasts, but people. ”

She added: "My father and Uncle Wuzang have agreed to marry, and if my father can't hand over people, it will also bring disaster to the clansmen." ”

Brother Yu said: "The lord of Yueji has decided to marry to the Central Plains?" The days after that ......"

Li Yueji raised her head: "From now on, Yueji is dead!" Only the daughter of the Dangxiang clan. I can't stand it, it's a big deal! Dying in the Central Plains is not the fault of our party members. ”

Brother Yu blushed, with a look of humiliation, and said in a deep voice: "The county lord of Yueji is innocent, don't be cheap that dog emperor, it's better to ...... tonight"

Li Yueji's originally gloomy expression suddenly became angry and ashamed, and she said angrily: "You are what kind of person I am!" "Then he rode his horse and left.

Brother Yu hurriedly caught up, apologized, and said: "Brother Yu will not leave the county lord, I will follow you to Lingzhou......"

Li Yueji ignored it, and said after a while: "Han official Lu Duoxun stared at you that day, and he already knew you. ”

Brother Yu said: "I'm pretending to be a guard!" If someone is unfavorable to the county lord, Brother Yu will be the first to protect the county lord! ”

……

Everything is going according to plan and irreversibly. The holy decree of canonizing Li Yueji as the concubine of the Great Zhou Xian, the golden book and the golden seal were sent to Xiazhou first, which was a good matter discussed by the two sides. At the same time, there are also a large number of goods and dowry gifts, gold, silver, tea, silk, and jewelry.

The Dingyan army selected 2,000 war horses in various pastures, and the Wuzang clan escorted Li Yueji to Lingzhou.

The etiquette of the royal family canonizing concubines is different from that of civil marriage, and it has been canonized before they meet. Guo Shao is on the border of Lingzhou, so everything can only be done expediently.

Wei Renpu asked Feng Jiye, the marshal of Lingzhou, to arrange a banquet and invite the leaders of all ethnic groups to the banquet, so that the marriage between the royal family and the party would have an influence in the northwest.

Guo Shao was very happy when he heard in the palace that Li Yueji's team had approached Lingzhou and had brought two thousand fine war horses, and immediately sent Wei Renpu and Wang Zhang, the general of the left wing of the Tiger Ben Army, to meet and receive the war horses.

The generals entered the lobby to meet Guo Shao and congratulated Guo Shao with joyful faces.

Yang Biao's legs and feet are also so neat, his face is still flat when he jokes, as if he can't laugh.

For the so-called party beauty Li Yueji, Guo Shao actually has no expectations...... The beauties in the mouth of the party really don't believe how good-looking they are.

Guo Shao personally saw that the party members did not hide, and the guy was wearing a high conical hat, and the hat took the bald head from the head! Really, whether it is the aesthetics of the ancients or the eyes of modern people, Guo Shao doesn't think there is anything beautiful about baldness; The one didn't hide, with yellow teeth, and his skin was very dark, as if it hadn't been washed. It is said that he is still a nobleman, so you can imagine what ordinary party members are like.

However, Guo Shao doesn't mind, her significance is not in her appearance, but in her identity.

…… Lingzhou is the most border city of the Great Zhou, focusing on the military, and the repair is also very coarse, which is worse than Xiazhou, and the wind is still very strong. Li Yueji had already seen the rammed city wall in the carriage, and the scene on the field was somewhat similar to that of Xiazhou, with many sergeants running on horseback.

After a short stay outside the city of Lingzhou, Li Yueji and her team of attendants separated from the brigade and followed the Zhou people into the city.

The procession walked around the city for a while, and then stopped. Wuzang said outside the car: "The Emperor of the Great Zhou summoned us in the palace, and the county lord got out of the car." ”

Li Yueji's face was like ashes, and her hands and feet stiffly got off the carriage. It may not matter how she feels, but the important things have already been done...... Exchange goods and war horses, and marry as an alliance.

It would not be too good for a strange alien to suddenly become her man like this.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a shout, and then I was full of breath and "Huo". It startled the mentally depressed Li Yueji! She followed the sound and saw the two columns of sergeants in front of the door neatly straddle their feet and raise the cherry spear in their hands.

Li Yueji suddenly felt very new and surprised, she had seen many guards and soldiers, but she had indeed never seen such a guard. I saw that the two groups of people were tall and strong, almost the same height, they held their heads high, their armor and cloaks were very neat and clean, and they stood straight.

Uncle Wuzang in front of her glanced back at her, and the two looked at each other. No wonder Uncle Wuzang is desperate to advocate marriage, peeping at the leopard in the tube, just looking at the military discipline momentum of these two teams, the Zhou army is not weak.

He didn't hide in front of the door and handed over the saber, but a Han military general searched him and said, "Please!" But he ignored Li Yueji. Wu Zang reminded in the words of the party: "Today is just a summons, a meeting, I will go in with the county lord." In the future, I won't be able to be by the county lord's side, but I have to remember that the county lord is a woman from our party. ”

The two were taken into the courtyard of a rammed tiled house, the low building was not as good as the Xiazhou Palace City, but there were many guards inside, and the etiquette was also very complicated. I've already had two inquiries.

Later, I heard a voice say: "Xuan, Concubine Li Xian is here." ”

After a toss, Tsukihime's mood became tense. The two entered a large room facing north, with people standing on both sides, and on a chair next to the wooden coffee table in the middle sat a young man in military uniform.

This person is the Great Zhou Tianzi?

He didn't wear a dragon robe, but there were old officials on both sides who were also standing respectfully, and Li Yueji could feel his status from the scene.

It was only at first glance that Li Yueji found that the Emperor of Zhou was not the same as she imagined. This person looks very young, with a good face and facial features that are not disgusting, tall and straight, and looks powerful; Coupled with his dress, he looks a lot like a martial artist in the army.

But the emperor of Zhou and the young son of the party were very different...... It's not at all as bold and casual as the party is young.

didn't hide it and let it go aside, let Li Yueji come forward to meet first.

Li Yueji stepped forward, put a hand under her chest, and bent down to salute. She didn't want to say anything, just looked up at Guo Shao with some curiosity.

Guo Shao rarely seemed to be looked at so directly, and he was surprised to look at him, and the two looked at each other silently.

Guo Shao's skin is a little coarse, but his hair is neatly combed, the clothes on his body are clean and smooth, and his sitting posture is very upright. His eyes were also very bright, and he gradually smiled, and turned his head to Lu Duoxun, a civil official standing aside, and said, "Li Yiyin's daughter is really beautiful, even if she is put in Tokyo, she is still a beauty." ”

Li Yueji's face suddenly turned red, and she couldn't get angry...... After all, he was praising her, but he felt that she was very unaccustomed to saying this.

At this time, Guo Shao suppressed his smile and asked, "Can you understand Chinese?" ”

Li Yueji opened her mouth and said in fluent Chinese: "There are also many Han'er in Xiazhou, of course I can understand it." ”

Guo Shao's face suddenly felt embarrassed, and Li Yueji saw it in her eyes, and her face turned crimson.

Guo Shao Zhengse said: "From now on, the royal Guo family and the Li family of Xiazhou are relatives, I hope that the border is peaceful and the people are harmonious." He said to Wuzang again, "When you go back, tell the king of Xiping that the king of Xiping is loyal to the country and the land, and I am very pleased, and let him take care of his health." ”

Wu Zang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty has no borders for life." The marshal did not dare to forget His Majesty's grace. ”

Guo Shao nodded.

He didn't hide and bowed again: "The ministers are waiting for Lingzhou today, everything is not in order, please let Concubine Li Xian rest for a while, bathe and change clothes, and then come to see Your Majesty." ”

The etiquette on both sides is very different, and the other party is the emperor, so it is not possible to follow the customs of the party members; For example, I have to test my husband, get him into a lot of trouble, and I have to walk back from my mother's house to show that I am strong...... However, according to the habits of the party members, the mother's family cannot let the husband's family take the bride into the door casually, at least they must be very reluctant and the bride has a very high status, so as not to be despised after she marries.

I don't mean to hide it, that's it. He can't just send Li Yueji here and hand it over to the people of Zhou, at least he wants the people of Zhou to do some pomp and show sincerity, and it is best for the emperor to take Li Yueji back in person.

Guo Shao listened and said: "It's okay, I asked Deputy Envoy Wei to prepare a big banquet, and I will send a chariot to meet Concubine Li Xian another day." ”

He didn't hide his desire to say anything, and finally bowed and said: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, but according to the etiquette of the party members, the husband must at least go to pick up the bride in person......"

At this moment, a minister said: "You also know that today you are the Son of Heaven, what kind of party etiquette can be greater than the righteousness of the monarch and the minister?" ”
