On the 29th day of the mid-autumn Bingyin day of the 29th year of the Tang Dynasty, that is, on August 27, 10,000 Tang troops and 5,000 Qingyuan soldiers broke the Wu Yue army in the area of Dahao Mountain in Putian, Qian Weiyan never dreamed that the Tang army would appear here, and there were also black-clothed and black-armored Qingyuan soldiers to assist, with thousands of remnants of the defeated generals and retreated in a hurry, Chen Kai, the squire of the military department, personally led the Tang army soldiers to pursue, and strive to capture Fuzhou City in one fell swoop and pacify the land of Fujian.

Zhou Xuan of Quanzhou City is very leisurely, fighting insects and playing chess all day long, and he feels a little unhappy that now there are more people serving around Princess Qingle, and the good days of lonely men and widows who are tired of being in the same bed are not there for the time being, but the joy of kissing and touching hands is also wonderful.

The Snow Pig Prince urged him to set off several times, but Zhou Xuanyi wanted to wait for the battle report from the front, and secondly, he wanted to wait for the arrival of Xiahou Tassel, and said that the situation was still unstable, and he would go to Xingwangfu in Guangzhou by sea in two days.

Early in the morning of August 29, Chen Kai sent several military academies to escort a Qingyuan warrior named Lan Lingsheng overnight to see Zhou Xuan to report the news, this Lan Lingsheng was Lan Lianchang's cronies, that is, the Lan Shanha who followed Xiahou Yun to Fuzhou to move troops and intended to capture Pan Yujiao.

At this time, Lan Ling was gray-faced and looked distressed, and knelt in front of Zhou Xuan to plead guilty.

Zhou Xuan said: "Your Lan clan patriarch, his mother, and his uncle have all led their clansmen to declare themselves to His Majesty the Tang Emperor, and they are not to blame for the past, Lan Lingsheng, you don't have to be afraid, stand up and speak." ”

Lan Lingsheng didn't even dare to say that he didn't dare to come back to his senses in three or five days, he left Quanzhou for only half a month, but when he came back, he was already the world of the Tang Army. It is not an exaggeration to say that this feeling is a metaphor for the vicissitudes of life.

Zhou Xuan said: "Lanling Sheng, let me ask you, where are Deputy Lieutenant Xiahou and Miss Tassel now?" ”

Lan Lingsheng said: "When the army was defeated, Deputy Lieutenant Xiahou and Miss Xiahou led more than ten Qingyuan warriors such as me to follow Qian Weiyan to break through, and when they fled to Daiyun Mountain, Qian Weiyan was anxious, angered Deputy Xiahou, and ordered his subordinates to capture him. Deputy Lieutenant Xiahou lost his soul and did not want to resist, he was wounded by an arrow, it was Miss Xiahou who escorted Deputy Lieutenant Xiahou and rushed out, intending to defect to the Duke of Zhou, but Deputy Lieutenant Xiahou would rather die, saying that he would kill the Duke of Zhou to avenge Chen Duhu——"

Tassel's father is really a tendon! Zhou Xuan shook his head and said: "Chen Si'an is alive and well, and he will leave for Jinling to meet His Majesty the Tang Emperor in the near future. Well, go ahead. ”

Lan Ling said: "The villain doesn't know what happened later. I was caught and brought here overnight. ”

Zhou Xuan nodded, and asked Lan Lingsheng to visit Lan Xiangyu under house arrest and temporarily serve as Lan Xiangyu's guard.

When Zhou Xuan interrogated Lan Lingsheng, Chen Ji was on the side and said, "Brother Zhou doesn't have to worry about Xiahou tassels, I'll go to Chen Si'an, ask him to write a book to recruit Xiahou Yun, and then send more sergeants to find his father and daughter." I'm sure I'll come back unharmed. ”

Zhou Xuan said: "Okay, let her wait for me in Quanzhou after the tassel comes back, and I will go to Xingwangfu tomorrow." ”

Chen Jidao: "The Qingyuan Navy does not have a large ship of dozens of zhang like the Southern Han Dynasty, but there are many warships, there are more than 1,000 ships, and all of them have now surrendered. ”

After dinner, Zhou Xuan went to the koi courtyard to bid farewell to Princess Qingle. Princess Qingle said with tears in her eyes: "Cousin Xuan." When will you be back? I'm here alone and scared. ”

Zhou Xuan said with a smile: "Since the princess can't stay in Quanzhou, how about I let General Qi drive the Lingfei to escort you back to Jinling first?" ”

Princess Qingle said: "That's not good, Cousin Xuan sent me here, and Cousin Xuan sent me back." ”

Zhou Xuan said: "Then wait in Quanzhou - uh, recuperate, I estimate that I can come back by mid-October at the latest, and then Your Majesty's edict should also arrive." The princess can go back justifiably. ”

Princess Qingle said, "Okay then." Cousin Xuan is going to the beach early tomorrow morning, right? Then stay with me tonight-" glanced at Feng Ajian and the others standing beside him, and his cheeks flushed. changed his words: "Cousin Xuan accompanies me to play double 6, right?" ”

Zhou Xuan said: "I won't be on Double 6, let Feng Ah Jian play with His Royal Highness, I still have some things to arrange." With that, he withdrew his hand.

Cumin chased after him and said, "Uncle, cumin will go to Nanhan with my uncle tomorrow." ”

Zhou Xuan smiled and said: "There are thousands of miles to go to Xingwang's Mansion here, cumin should stay by the princess's side." ”

Princess Qingle has been with cumin for a long time, and she also likes cumin, cumin and aromatic tea are now her two confidants, and persuaded: "Cumin stay with me, and I will give you whatever reward you want." ”

Cumin said stubbornly: "No, cumin wants to follow her uncle, Miss Que'er ordered the ground, and asked cumin to take care of her aunt's daily life, a few days ago, there was no one to serve the princess here, and cumin is here to serve the princess, and now that the princess has so many people, cumin is going to follow her uncle." He ran into his room and quickly packed a small package and came out.

Zhou Xuan knew that this little girl was stubborn, and Qin Que's words were holy decrees, so he said, "Okay, come with me now." ”

Zhou Xuan returned to his residence, thinking that he would leave early tomorrow morning, and Pan Yujiao went to Fuzhou with Chen Kai to appease the clansmen, I am afraid that he will not be able to come back to see him off for a while.

This night, Zhou Xuan and Chen Ji talked for half a night, and fell asleep.

On the 30th of August, Zhou Xuan took the four idiots, cumin, Lihu, and ten Fenghua soldiers under General Qi, and the Snow Pig Prince took Mei Zhu, Chen Yanshou, and Fei Qing, escorted by 500 cavalry led by Chen Ji to the coast of Hui'an Dongling.

Princess Qingle was sent out of the south gate of Quanzhou by car, and it was not easy to say anything intimate in front of everyone's eyes, but she ordered the imperial doctor to go with Zhou Jungong, and if there was a disease, it would be treated immediately.

After Zhou Xuan's horse team went away, Princess Qingle suddenly became sad, whimpering and crying, feeling very uncomfortable in her heart, this pampered royal princess felt more deeply parting than leaving Jinling at the beginning of the month to bid farewell to her father and mother.

Zhou Xuan walked back and forth several times from Quanzhou to Hui'an, and rushed to the coast of Dongling in the afternoon of the same day, only to see thousands of sails on the sea, full of ships, it turned out that Chen Ji had transferred more than 100 warships of the Qingyuan Navy to wait here.

Zhou Xuan did not take the "Lingfei", only took the sea ship of the Eight Kingdoms of Zhongtian that was won in Haikou in Fuzhou, the excuse was that the hull of the "Lingfei" was damaged by the sea god wind and needed to be overhauled, in fact, the real reason was that Zhou Xuan wanted to take the ship as his own, if he sailed to the Xingwang Mansion, although the snow pig prince promised that the "Lingfei" would return to the Tang Kingdom, but Liu Jixing might not agree, so he still stayed stable first.

The sampan rowed, Zhou Xuan was about to get on the big boat, and saw a big white horse galloping from a distance, and the beautiful Shanha matriarch Pan Yujiao came alone to see off her lover.

Coming to Zhou Xuan, Pan Yujiao dismounted lightly, made a big salute to the Ha tribe, and said: "County Prince, take one step to speak, and have important things to report." ”

Zhou Xuan followed Pan Yujiao to a boulder on the shore, a few feet away from everyone.

Pan Yujiao looked around vigilantly, sure that no one could see this, so she suddenly approached Zhou Xuan, tiptoed to kiss him on the lips, took a step back and asked, "When will the county prince come back?" ”

Zhou Xuan took Pan Yujiao's two hands, clasped them in his palms, and chuckled: "When I come back, can you go to Jinling with me?" ”

Pan Yujiao smiled slightly: "Jungong, some women just want to stay by the side of their beloved man, but Yujiao is not, Yujiao also wants to be with Jungong, but Yujiao still has a lot to do - let my son go to Jinling to recognize his father in seven years." ”

Zhou Xuan gently stroked her cheek and said: "You have made a great contribution this time, it is indispensable to be the Marquis of Zhouzhou, you will definitely be above the other Shanha patriarchs, judge the situation, be content and happy, just be your Fujian Shanha leader, remember my words, I don't want your mother and son to go against the Tang Kingdom, it is not interesting to be the king and hegemon, you see Chen Si'an, who has been entrenched in Qingyuan for many years, is not once reduced to a prisoner!" ”

Pan Yujiao grabbed Zhou Xuan's hand and put it on her heart, and responded: "Yes, I just want my people to live and work in peace and contentment." ”

The twilight was faintly shrouded, and everyone on the shore was waiting for Zhou Xuan to board the boat.

"I'm leaving." Zhou Xuan stretched out his hand and gently stroked Pan Yujiao's lower abdomen, and said with a low smile: "I will return to Quanzhou in about October, and I will be able to see that your belly is a little big by then." ”

Pan Yujiao's fair face seemed to be coated with a layer of rouge, and she said in a low voice: "I will think about the county prince, when our children grow up and can be on their own, I will come to Jinling to wait for the county prince, I just hope that the county prince will not think I am ugly." ”

Zhou Xuan said with a smile: "Don't let me wait too long, after Fujian settles down, you will take your children to Jinling to meet Your Majesty, and visit your relatives by the way." ”

Pan Yujiao handed over the reins of the "Jade Flower Skull in the Night" in her hand to Zhou Xuan: "This horse is really a divine horse, take it to the Southern Han Dynasty, I don't need it now, I want to take it in the future." ”
