Chapter Ninety-Five: The Wedding Dress

The heavy snow fell on the meandering land, and the Qiang people who were originally here had gone to give up the empty and piled up the broken chariots and double-wheeled carts together

It didn't burn out, only a few charred wooden carriages remained. Looking at this empty village, the horses driven by the Yiqu cart snorted again and again, and they looked down to find some dead grass in the snow, but they could not find anything.

"Your Majesty, King Jing is gone." In the distance, the knight of Yiqu came on horseback and told the Yiqu donkey.

"Your Majesty," another horse galloped forward, "King Jing went north, and entered the land of Henan." ”

"To the north?" The river has been frozen, the grassland is white, and there is no path in sight. "What does General Xin think?"

Xin Sheng always remembered the hatred of his father, so together with Yiqulu, he led 5,000 cavalry to the outside of Beidi County.

"Yunzhong County and Jiuyuan County are all occupied by our army, and Yanmen County is also under the front of General Qiang's troops, what about King Jing to the north?" Xin Sheng glanced at the entire village, not caring. "If it goes north, it will naturally cross the river and return to Zhao."

"General Xin doesn't know, King Jing can also go west over the mountains to Hudi, and now the river is frozen...... "Yiqu Yu was transferred back from the battlefield to pursue the King of Chu, and now the King of Chu is going north, it is no longer the sphere of influence of the Yiqu people, but the sphere of influence of Lin Hu, he does not want to go north." If the king of Chu did not go north, but crossed the river and crossed the west of Helan Mountain, he would not want to go.

"And this year's snow is thick, our army is chasing north, and there is no horse material." Compared with war horses, people eat very little, heavy snow covers the field, and some pastures on the ground cannot be eaten, so they can't chase far at all.

"When you go to the land of the Xinai Yue clan and Wusun, King Jing is throwing himself into a net." Xin Sheng thought of something in his mind when he said this, but this thing was like a layer of Chu paper, and he couldn't remember it. "Our army has one man and four horses, and after chasing for 20 days, it will enter the Great Wall."

Xin Sheng insisted on chasing, even if he chased to the ends of the earth, he would kill King Jing, Fei Jing and Xiang Chao. He suppressed his anger and said to Yiqulu, and then shouted: "Someone! Prepare horses and food quickly. ”

At this time, the Qin State was faced with two wars, one was the war against Zhao in the east of Taihang Mountain east of Shangjun, and the other was the recourse to King Jing in the Hetao area west of Shangjun. The main force of the former is 500,000 Qin troops, and the main force of the latter is not only 7,000 cavalry, but also various tribes that submit to the Qin State. The chiefs of these tribes in the west, Yueshi and Wusun, and Linhu and Loufu in the newly conquered areas, all asked for a cavalry force of about 3,000 men.

It's just that after being pursued by the Qin people, the Yueshi people, the Wusun people, the Lin Hu people, and the Lou people for more than half a month, the Chu and Zhao cavalry led by King Jing disappeared as if out of thin air, and there was no trace at all. It was mid-to-late November, and the temperature in the field at night had dropped to more than minus 20 degrees, and some of the Qin knights' fingers were frozen off. Seeing that it was impossible to search, the Governor's Mansion had to order the Qin army to rest temporarily in Yunzhong County to wait for further orders-

If King Jing was not in the Hetao area, he should have crossed the Yin Mountain and entered the grassland. There are two possibilities in this situation, one is that King Jing braved the wind and snow to rush east to Yanmen County or Yandi in Zhao State, and then entered the fortress and returned to Zhao; Second, after King Jing learned that Jiuyuan and Yunzhong County were captured by the Qin army, he continued to go north to the land of Beidi.

Returning to Zhao should be able to confirm through the Hou spy lurking in Zhao that if Zhao and Chu still don't see King Jing, then the Qin army should go out of Yin Mountain to search north at the beginning of spring next year, and at the same time go to see the Di chieftain with rich gifts. The Di people were greedy for money, and as long as they were given enough money, they would give the head of King Jing.

The plan of the Guowei Mansion is like this, and the Chu Marquis of Xianyang is listening to the news of the king every day, and many people are exposed because of their rash actions. Even so, I still desperately ordered the marquis to spy on information related to the king.

In the eighth year of King Jing of Chu, the eighteenth year of King Zheng of Qin (the first year of October in Qin), the thirty-fifth year of King Jian of Qi, the sixth year of King Qian, the thirteenth year of King Zeng of Wei, and the ninth year of Wang An of Han Abolition, the major event in the world is naturally that Qin once again attacked Zhao, and Zhao envoys frequently ran in the three kingdoms of Chu, Wei and Qi, saying that the three kingdoms sent troops to rescue Zhao again. Because of the absence of the king of Chu, only the most enthusiastic Chu State to save Zhao responded positively, and the rest of the Chu ministers faced a very embarrassing reality: if the king and the prince really did not return together, which prince of Chu would inherit the throne?

Fortunately, the political system of the state of Chu has been perfected, even if the king is not in Yingdu, many affairs are in order, and even, the controversy in the court is much less than before. And the Queen Mother Zhao, who once strictly ordered that there should be no palace maids, looked at the beauty sent by King Wei and became more and more pleasing to the eye. An uncrowned son cannot marry a wife yet, but it may not be impossible to take a concubine and give birth to a prince.

The world is like this, Xianyang is caught in the increasingly fierce Hou spy war, and every few days in the big city, there are four Hou spies in the city to abandon the city and divide the corpses. Since they live in Xianyang, they are all loyal ministers of Daqin, although there is no news of victory from the front line, but every time they kill a Hou spy of the Four Kingdoms, they will make the Xianyang people drink a bowl of hot sheep soup as comfortably, and the shouts and tragic situation of the Hou spy before his death will be talked about for several days. Every time he said it, a hot current surged in his chest, and his loyalty to Daqin deepened.

In the depths of the palace, the chaos of the world and the bustle of Xianyang have not penetrated into the increasingly deserted Huayang Palace. The hall is still the same, but this place seems to have gone with the thorns, and everywhere seems lifeless. The only excitement is the New Day of the month, at this time Zhao Zheng, Xiong Qi and others will come to pay tribute to the Empress Dowager, after this day, the huge Huayang Palace has become deserted again.

Mi Xuan lived in Huayang Palace, and died with Huayang Palace. The Empress Dowager Zu has died, and the man who loves her has come and gone, and has to leave Qin and return to Zhao. Both the eldest father and her father wanted her to marry the King of Qin and persuaded her not to have any hope for the King of Chu anymore. And Zhan Shifu has to come to see her every few days - she was named a beloved by the King of Qin, a queen, a lady, a beauty, a beloved, such an identity is far from being comparable to the identity of the concubine earlier, the wedding dresses, accessories, headdresses, shoes and ......, these things have to be tailor-made by the clothes and clothes.

"Zhan Shizhong asks to see his beloved." In the silent palace bed, Lao Zhan's words came again, and his voice was as old and decaying as the pillars.

"What?" Shang Wu's more aging voice, when he asked casually, Zhan Shizhong had already entered the room.

"Ask your lover to try on your wedding dress." Zhan Shizhong saw Mi Xuan when he entered the room, and after being stunned, he quickly looked away. Behind him, the female official of the Siyi Mansion was wearing the wedding clothes at the time of the wedding, waiting for Mi Xuan to try on the clothes.

"Put it there." Mi Xuan is embroidering. She was holding her hair back, but a few strands still leaked and hung down on the side of her face.

"Please atone for your sins, and if you can't try on your wedding clothes today, your ministers will be punished." Zhan Shizhong said.

"The Queen Mother?" Qi Xuan raised her head. Empress Dowager Zu was put into the coffin last month, waiting for the funeral day, her crying has stopped, but her face is still gloomy, and her eyes are blank. Her inquiry made Zhan Shizhong smile bitterly, the Queen Mother was in charge of the Weibei Palace, not only fornicating every day, but also killing dozens of temple maids, and now everyone is in danger.

"Where's the clothes?" Mi Xuan only said clothes instead of wedding clothes, and the female official immediately stepped forward to offer them when she heard this.

"To system, the wedding dress of the beloved...... "The queen's six clothes: robes, yidi, yidi, juyi, exhibition clothes, and edge clothes. The color of the robe is Xuan, carved and painted (hui, colorful birds); Di color green, carved and painted shake (harrier); Que Di color red, carved but not painted.

The clothes are embroidered and painted with colorful birds; Tong Shake (Harrier), Di Tong Zhai (Long Tail Pheasant), Di Di embroidered and engraved after shaking (Harrier) after the same color painting, only Di Di although embroidered Zhai (Long Tail Pheasant), but not color painting, the whole dress is only red.

The queen's six clothes, the first three are the clothes of the big gifts, and the last three are the clothes of the small gifts. The wedding is naturally a great gift of life, to pay tribute to the ancestors of the king, must wear the clothes of the great gift, and the lover is the last of the clothes that can be worn with the great gift, similar to the wife of the viscount and the baron.

Qi Xuan stood in front of Lu Lijing, and let the female official drape the red wedding dress embroidered with a long-tailed pheasant but not a colorful painting on her body. In addition to the wide Que Di, there are also red clothes, knee coverings, big belts, scarves, and red clothes, and the female officer did not put on her the first clothes that Que Di matched: deputy and secondary, but simply helped her pull a high sideburns, revealing a snow-white neck like jade. People rely on clothes, and the original gloom disappears in a blink of an eye, and there is only one bright and beautiful bride to be married in the mirror.

"A beloved is very beautiful." The female officer who tried on the clothes looked at Lu Lijing's Mi Xuan and covered her mouth in amazement, and it took a while to react.

The female official couldn't help but admire, and Zhan Shizhong, who was standing in the back, could also see that her eyes were straight, the queen was already very beautiful, but Mi Liangren was more beautiful than her. The reason for this is probably because the queen's face is small and delicate, and the good people have sparse facial features. I usually don't feel like wearing deep clothes, but as soon as I put on the clothes of a big gift, the queen is just a small jasper, but the good people are bright and beautiful. If you don't look at the clothes, this will make people think that Mi Xuan is the queen, and the queen is just a good person......

Zhan Shizhong has served in the palace since he was a child, and he has seen not a thousand concubines and beauties, but eight hundred. He unconsciously compared the queen with the good man, and after a while he remembered that he had committed the crime of disrespect by comparing himself in this way.

"Really?" The female officer looked at Mi Xuan with a smile while comparing the position of the clothes, knee coverings, and large belts to determine the final size. Mi Xuan didn't want to see Lu Li's appearance in the mirror in her wedding dress, which made her very, very uncomfortable - it was as if the violent north outside the bed had blown into her heart, cut out a big mouth, and then whirred through.

"It's over." The female officer noticed Mi Xuan's displeasure, the smile on her face retracted, and quickly helped her take off her clothes, followed Zhan Shizhong, and bowed back.

Shang Wu understood Mi Xuan's intentions, he looked at Mi Xuan and wanted to say a few words of comfort, but he didn't know what to say. Mi Xuan sat on the mat again and embroidered, and in the silence, he heard her singing quietly: "

There are birds in the south mountain, and Zhang Luo in the north mountain.

The bird flies from the high, and Luo Dang can't help it.

Birds and magpies fly, not happy phoenix ......"
