Chapter 1 The Thorny Rose
readx;
Xu Qing led the army on the road back to Chang'an, walked for seven days, and halfway through, Junzi alone performed light skills to catch up with Xu Qing's cavalry troops, telling Xu Qing that she had kidnapped Mei Kaifang, and had sent her subordinates to escort Mei Kaifang to Japan (at that time, the Japanese called their country Japan, but the Tang Dynasty people felt that Japan meant the origin of the sun, the place of the rising sun, and was called an arrogant name, not calling Japan Japan, but calling Japan Dongying or Fusang, or Waguo), Xu Qing must go to Dongying with Junzi to marry Junzi, otherwise Junzi would kill Mei Kaifang.
Xu Qing was angry at Junzi's alternative love for him and his almost perverted behavior, but he knew that Junzi was gentle on the outside and wild on the inside, so he could only follow her and not brush her will, otherwise maybe Junzi would really kill Mei Kaifang and make Xu Qing feel guilty, so as to achieve the purpose of indirectly punishing Xu Qing.

In desperation, Xu Qing had no choice but to let Xue Rengui lead the team back to Chang'an, Zhao Tuozhi and Nie Hu commanded the new army, and escorted Xu Qing's wives all the way back to the original Xuanyi Princess Mansion, the newly completed Andong Mansion, and Xu Qing went to Dongying with Chunzi.
Chunzi only allowed Xu Qing to accompany her to Dongying alone to get married, and Xu Qing was not allowed to take his subordinates, Xu Qing was basically sure that Chunzi would not harm him, but in order to prevent accidents, he asked Zhao Mengchen to accompany him to Dongying, so that Chunzi agreed.
Although Mei Kaifang has a bad relationship with Xu Qing, she is also the wife of Xu Qing Mingmei, Junzi understands Xu Qing's personality and knows that he is kind-hearted, and he will not care about Mei Kaifang's life or death, and let him fend for himself in Dongying. Mei Kaifang has been looking forward to Xu Qing's change of heart towards her, and has been living in the headquarters of the Longmen Dart Bureau, not in her mother's house. Everyone in the Dragon Gate Dart Bureau knows that Xu Qing hates Mei Kaifang, no one cares about her, and no one protects her. That's why Junzi chose to attack Mei Kaifang, and used Mei Kaifang as a hostage who threatened Xu Qing to marry Junzi.
Before leaving, Xu Qing asked Junzi, "If you do this, aren't you afraid that I will be angry?" ”
Junko replied, "I'm not afraid, I know you're soft-hearted and won't do anything to me." If you marry me, there is no way to punish me. ”
Xu Qing was so angry that he couldn't speak.
Junzi said: "It is rumored that you have a feud with your nominal wife Mei Kaifang, and it is true, she disappeared for one night, and no one found out until the morning." ”
Xu Qing snorted heavily and said, "Count you as powerful, I'll just go to Dongying with you." But I warn you, if Mei Kaifang is hurt, I will never forgive you! "You must know that Mei Kaifang's martial arts are not high, she became a prisoner of the Dongying warriors, and she will still be restricted in her personal freedom after crossing to the east, and her fate is indeed full of many unknowable variables for Mei Kaifang. Xu Qing said that it was a normal reaction in that era when a woman's chastity was valued more than her life.
Junzi couldn't hide the joy in her heart and said, "Don't worry, my subordinates will never dare to be rude to Mei Kaifang." Let's go. Xu Qing and Zhao Mengchen each found some change of clothes and hard currency gold, made a package, and then set off with Junzi. Both men carried three pistols each, hundreds of rounds of ammunition, and Xu Qing also brought a submachine gun and a marching backpack.
A few days later, the group of three people each took a horse to the port of Yangzhou, where the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal meets the Yangtze River. Junko's ship is a sea boat, which cannot travel on the canal and is moored at Yangzhou Port on the Yangtze River. Junko's more than 20 subordinates were already ready to go, and when they saw Junko coming, they all ran out of the cabin and stood in two columns to bow to Junko.
Chunzi bowed his head slightly and led Xu Qing into his cabin. The cabin is magnificently arranged, the famous calligraphy and painting make people feel elegant, the flower arrangement bonsai is pleasing to the eye, the most refreshing is the beautiful Junzi who is like a flower, she is a flowing landscape, although Junzi's unique and wild personality makes Xu Qing difficult to accept, but it is undeniable that Junko's beauty always makes Xu Qing forgive her willfulness.
Junzi kidnapped Mei Kaifang and sent someone to Dongying first, and then threatened Xu Qing with Mei Kaifang's life to marry her, Xu Qing didn't want Mei Kaifang to die innocently, but also wanted to accompany Junzi to play this game of love, if you can see through this incident that Chunzi really loves herself, and loves like crazy, then this is a good thing, Xu Qing will harvest a beautiful love that has gone through twists and turns, enrich Xu Qing's life experience, and marrying Chunzi will also be a matter of course. Moreover, the father of Chunzi is known as Emperor Wuhuang of Dongying, and Junzi's family has been in business for many years and is engaged in maritime cross-border trade.
Of course, Xu Qing followed Junzi to Dongying and took a big risk, in case Xu Qing mistook Junzi, she didn't love Xu Qing, but took advantage of Xu Qing's kindness weakness in human nature to trick Xu Qing into Dongying or poison Xu Qing at sea, in order to avenge Xu Qing for killing her fiancé.
But Xu Qingyi is bold, and after crossing the Tang Dynasty, he quickly grew into a man of the hour who called for wind and rain and leaned towards the government and the opposition, and people also became extremely conceited, believing in their own vision, not to mention that there was a congenital master Zhao Mengchen, who was almost extinct after the Song Dynasty and was extremely rare in the Tang Dynasty, as well as pistols and submachine guns, body armor, Xu Qing was not afraid!
Xu Qing is a person who is at ease with what happens, and his dissatisfaction and helplessness with Chunzi only lasted for a short time, so he made the decision to marry Junzi in advance.
Junzi had a smile on her face, her tender eyes seemed to be full of smiles, and she looked at Xu Qing and said, "What kind of tea do you like to drink?" Longjing, Tieguanyin, or Biluochun? "Whatever." Xu Qingdao.
The sea ship sailed down the river into the East China Sea. It was not the first time Xu Qing had seen the sea, and he didn't feel excited, but when he was fine, he leaned on the railing and looked into the distance and felt the vastness of the sea. Junzi also walked out of the cabin, accompanied Xu Qing to watch the sea, and did her best to tell Xu Qing about whales, sharks, mirages, and pirates in the sea......
Zhao Mengchen was very conscious all the way and refused to be a light bulb - there was no light bulb at this time, so let's use this word as an analogy. Zhao Mengchen saw that Xu Qing still had a good impression of Chunzi, but Chunzi's martial arts and methods were harmful, and Xu Qing killed her fiancé, and Chunzi was like a thorny rose to Xu Qing, which made Xu Qing love and fear.
Junzi is well-informed and very talkative, and has come to China many times to trade, and is a China expert. She has traveled not only to China, but also to the Korean Peninsula, Luzon (present-day Philippines), Java (present-day Indonesia), Malaysia and other countries. Talking about the customs and adventure stories of various places, Junzi was full of interest, and Xu Qing was also happy to be a loyal listener. Getting along with Junko doesn't feel like time is hard at all.
However, the novelty of the first few days of sailing quickly disappeared, and every day I saw nothing but the sea and the sky, sunrise and sunset, sunset and sunrise, and the lack of change in life made it feel monotonous. Xu Qing is eager to encounter pirates or a thrilling sea storm to adjust the dull seafaring life. Junko tries her best every day, combing different hairstyles with different patterns, wearing various styles of Chinese and Japanese clothes, and appearing in front of Xu Qing with a new image every day. To some extent, Xu Qing's monotony has been alleviated.
In addition to putting on an empathetic posture towards Xu Qing, the "Witch of Change" Junzi also showed great hospitality to Xu Qing, often cooking delicious meals for Xu Qing in person, and what other hand talks, admiring the moon by the railing, chatting about the world, learning martial arts, piano style and flute rhyme, Dongying dance, etc., are all eighteen kinds of martial arts used by Junzi to please Xu Qing.
