Chapter 198: Wishing River

Before sunset, seven hundred households rode into the city.

They looked nervous and hurried to the hall of the Thousand Households to stand by.

Yang Xiaoyu wore plain clothes, walked into the hall with high steps, waited for the hundreds of households to salute, waved his hand to let the hundreds of households sit down, and said: "At noon tomorrow, you will gather your men and horses, gather ten miles outside the city, and prepare weapons and firearms!" ”

"My lord, but you want to arrest the bandits?" Ma Baihu stood up and asked.

"Yes, the disappearance of the colt is suspected by bandits outside the city!"

Yang Xiaoyu swept the expressions on the faces of hundreds of households, and said coldly: "This expedition to suppress the bandits is intended to find and rescue the horses, you should go all out, and on the day of success, there will be a heavy reward!" ”

"Yes!"

Hundreds of households responded one after another.

Jinyiwei hunted down bandits all the year round, and each hundred households had their own weapons warehouse, which stored tiger squat cannons, firearms, mines, Franco cannons, etc.

Firearms are widely used in Jinyiwei, and there are four Franco cannons, 18 tiger squat cannons, and a number of mines.

Each hundred households under its jurisdiction have tiger squatting cannons, mines, mines, firearms, and birds.

After Yang Xiaoyu instructed the seven hundred households to do some important things, he waved them back to prepare.

After the hundreds of households left one after another, Yang Xiaoyu asked Chen Yingren to take out the gunpowder in the armory and check it.

After dusk.

Yang Xiaoyu rode his horse to the inn where Princess Shouning was resting.

Zhou Tong, Cao Tai, and Cheng Yun led the cavalry to guard all the important places in the inn, except for the princess's summons, otherwise, not a single fly could fly inside.

Most of the people who came to meet the princess today were wealthy businessmen and low-ranking officials.

The princess chose a few well-known merchants, Jin Jin, and then let the others go back.

After Yang Xiaoyu got off the horse, he saw that it was cold outside, without the hustle and bustle and glitz of last night.

"Your Excellency!" Zhou Zheng bowed as he stepped forward.

"How's that old woman?" Yang Xiaoyu suddenly remembered the princess's mother-in-law, and stopped and asked.

"Locked in a pig cage in the backyard, I haven't been fed for a day!" Zhou Tong hurriedly replied.

"Didn't the princess go to see the old woman?" Yang Xiaoyu asked with a smile.

The princess saw the miserable appearance of the old woman. Let the subordinates let go of the old wife, and the subordinates dare not make their own decisions! Zhou Tong hurriedly saluted and replied.

Yang Xiaoyu thought for a moment and ordered: "Find a doctor to connect her legs, send someone to escort her back to the prison of Qianhu, put it in the prison first, and wait for the official to feel better." Let her out again! ”

"Yes!" Zhou Tong bowed.

Yang Xiaoyu nodded and strode into the inn, at this time the princess had not yet eaten, he easily entered the princess's room.

The maidservants were all waiting outside, and Princess Shouning sat behind the curtain, and after Yang Xiaoyu paid her respects, she asked, "Is there any news about the horses?" ”

"The lowly came to see the princess, and it was for this reason that he came, and he guessed according to the lowly position. The horse may have been robbed by bandits outside Yangzhou! ”

"Do you have any definite news?"

"The lowly has sent his subordinates to go out of the city to investigate, and news will come in a few days."

Princess Shouning thought for a moment and said softly: "The horse is the dear person of this palace, please Lord Yang don't slack off!" ”

"The princess puts it down, and she will save the horse back to the city!"

Yang Xiaoyu bowed his hand and said, "I will lead the troops out of the city tomorrow to conquer the bandits, for the sake of the princess's safety, please move the princess to the mansion of the Shen Governor's Mansion." When the lowly job rescues the horse, he will give the princess the good news as soon as possible. ”

"No, I don't. You ask the yamen to send some people to stay outside, and don't let the idlers disturb the tranquility of the palace! Princess Shouning thought for a while, and Miao Yin said softly.

Yang Xiaoyu wished that the princess would stay in the inn, so as to save him a lot of trouble, and immediately smiled flatteringly: "Princess." The scenery of Yangzhou City is pleasant, the river water is clear at night, there is a wishing river in the city, I heard that making a wish by the river can bless the safety of the family. Is the princess going to make a wish for the colt? ”

The ancients all believed in making wishes, worshipping Buddha, drawing lots, etc., Princess Shouning lived in the palace since she was a child, and she was convinced of this set, hearing Yang Xiaoyu's words, thinking that the horse was missing, she went to the river to make a wish to the horse, hoping that God could bless the horse to be safe and healthy.

"There's Lord Lao Yang!" Princess Shouning thought for a moment and agreed softly.

Yang Xiaoyu smiled slightly, ordered the maid to come in and serve the princess, and immediately ordered Zhou Tong to guard the inn, and Cheng Yun and Cao Tai to escort them.

The pomp and circumstance of the princess's travel is naturally indispensable, but this is Yangzhou, so everything can only be simple.

Yang Xiaoyu took his men and horses to protect both sides of the carriage, and after a while, Princess Shouning, who was dressed in a light pink dress, walked out of the inn with her maidservant, swaying to the ground, slender, physique, and bewitching eyes when she walked, the only thing that made people unhappy was that she covered her face with a pink scarf and couldn't see her face.

Yang Xiaoyu's eyes turned straight, this Princess Shouning's posture was enchanting and abnormal, especially the thin waist, which twisted like a heart's surging and blood swelled.

The princess walked up to the chariot, and the prepared rider carried a small stool to the side.

Princess Shouning held the handmaiden's hand and slowly walked into the carriage.

Outside the car, Jin Yiti rode as a coachman and drove the car for the princess.

Yang Xiaoyu turned over and got on the horse, waved his big hand, and took the lead in opening the way.

There is indeed a wishing river in Yangzhou, but the people in the city rarely make wishes, because the area is desolate, and nine times out of ten, it does not work.

Princess Shouning is worried about her husband's safety, no matter whether she is spiritual or not, she will give it a try.

The car drove through the small half of Yangzhou City and came to the Wishing River in the west.

There was silence on both sides of the riverbank, and there was not a single figure.

Occasionally, the churning of the water in the river can be heard.

Yang Xiaoyu waved his hand to stop the car, turned over and dismounted, and asked the princess to come out and make a wish.

Princess Shouning slowly walked out of the car, and saw that it was desolate, the night was dark, and the silence was a little scary.

"Princess, there is the Wishing River ahead, and I will show you the way!" Yang Xiaoyu looked at Princess Shouning's slender and full body up close, and felt a burst of desire in her heart. The fire was churning, but he still calmly restrained himself, the princess is a golden body, and she must not be blasphemed.

Princess Shouning got out of the carriage, and the surrounding horsemen scattered in all directions, blocking the water that surrounded the Wishing River within two miles.

Yang Xiaoyu held the torch, led the road in front of his head, and Princess Shouning behind him moved lightly with the maidservant Lianbu. Slowly come to the shore.

"Princess, there is the Wishing River in front, you go to the side alone to make a wish to the horse, and the lowly people are waiting for the princess here!" Yang Xiaoyu pointed to the Wishing River more than a dozen steps away and stopped.

Princess Shouning frowned slightly, she felt that her surroundings were dark. Jing is scary, she stepped forward alone to make a wish, always a little scared.

"Princess, you are making a wish to the concubine, it is inconvenient for the lowly people to come forward to disturb, there are many people, and the gods in the sky don't know who is making a wish, and they can't make the princess's wish come true!" Yang Xiaoyu said solemnly.

Princess Shouning was suspicious of the immortals, but Yang Xiaoyu said so. She would rather believe it, and after nodding slightly, she walked alone with lotus steps, dragged her long skirt, and slowly walked to the shore.

Yang Xiaoyu looked at Princess Shouning's delicate shadow from a dozen steps away, her back was curvaceous, her plump buttocks were round and cocked, and her black hair was dragged to half her waist. Judging from the back, Jiao is fascinated. Let him think about it.

Princess Shouning stood alone by the river and made a wish.

There is no one around, and it is weird and abnormal.

Yang Xiaoyu half-squatted down, today he specially sent someone to check the past of Princess Shouning, it turned out that this princess married at the age of fourteen and gave birth to her first child at the age of eighteen, and since then. If there is nothing to come out of, I don't know if the colt is not angry, or her stomach is not angry.

Twenty-four-year-old Princess Shouning, in this era, can be regarded as yesterday's yellow flower.

But. With her appearance, even if she is thirty years old, she is still charming and charming.

Her mother, Zheng Guifei, was the queen of Zeng Yan. Palace, Princess Shouning inherits her mother's posture and is also a delicate beauty.

It's a pity that this delicate flower was inserted on Ran Xingrang's cow dung, which really made him unwilling.

After a while, Princess Shouning turned around and came back, Yang Xiaoyu asked her if she wanted to go to the bridge to relax, Princess Shouning was a little scared, so she asked the riders to follow.

Surrounded in the room all day long, there was rarely a chance to go out for a walk, so Princess Shouning wanted to take advantage of this time to stay outside for a while.

The autumn wind at night blew on her cheeks, slightly cold, the air was fresh, and it was quiet, without the bustling noise of the day, which calmed her heart a lot.

"Lord Yang, Granny Wang has been punished, you will release her when you go back!" Princess Shouning walked in front and commanded in a faint voice.

Yang Xiaoyu walked behind the princess and replied with a smile: "The humble post has sent someone to treat Granny Wang's injuries, and after her leg is healed, his subordinates will send someone to take her back to serve the princess!" ”

When Princess Shouning heard this, she turned to look at Yang Xiaoyu, and suddenly, she smiled charmingly, her smile was crisp and bright, and she said, "You broke her leg, aren't you afraid that she will trouble you in the future?" ”

Yang Xiaoyu listened to this temptation. The laughter of the person was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly replied: "An evil woman in the palace, she is not afraid of her humble duties!" "This is true, the evil woman may have some energy in the palace, but on the land of Jiangnan, it is not her turn to be wild.

"Is your mother okay?" Princess Shouning didn't answer, turned around and continued to walk forward, asking softly.

"Everything is fine with my mother!" Yang Xiaoyu replied lightly, in his memory, Mrs. Fang has a lot of close friends, maybe she will have an intersection with Princess Shouning in front of her.

Sure enough, Princess Shouning, who was walking in front, sighed faintly and said: "I saw your mother when I was a child in this palace, and I haven't seen you since she got married, and now, after more than ten years, you have grown so big!" ”

Yang Xiaoyu, who heard this, stumbled and almost fell to the ground, Princess Shouning was only twenty-four years old, seven years older than him, and the words that came out of this tone made him feel that Princess Shouning was an elder.

The Ming Dynasty was like this, for example, women were seven or eight years older than men, and they could call themselves men's elders, besides, Princess Shouning knew Mrs. Fang, and in terms of generation, she was really his elders.

Yang Xiaoyu followed behind with a bitter face, walking slowly, looking at the delicate back of Princess Shouning with a pair of eyes.

After walking for a while, Princess Shouning was a little tired, and Yang Xiaoyu asked Tiqi to come to the carriage and escort the princess back to the inn.

Back at the inn, after Yang Xiaoyu sent the princess to rest, he rushed back to the mansion with Tiqi. (To be continued......)
