Chapter 166: The Big Wedding
After seeing Zhang Xiaoyi, Shangguan Yan knew that he was truly safe.
On the way to Qingjiangpu, she even found some Jinyi guards who wanted to attack him.
If it weren't for Zhu Huiyan's hard work, maybe she wouldn't have been able to get here at all.
It's just that she didn't want to embarrass Zhu Huiyan, so she hid all these things in her heart, and just told Zhang Xiaoyi some things in the past.
After hearing what happened to Shangguan Yan, Zhang Xiaoyi couldn't help but be furious.
"That King Lu and the Kong family dared to force Uncle Shangguan to kneel down and beg for mercy, it really doesn't make sense. Miss Yan'er, you just have to rest assured, I will report this matter to the prince immediately after I go back. I believe that the prince will definitely make decisions for you, and no matter what the Lu Wangfu or the Kong family is, they will have to send someone to take the blame. β
Now that Zhang Xiaoyi's knowledge is also high, what King Lu will put in his eyes, but he is just a prince who has been raised in captivity.
I believe that as long as Lu Yan handed over a post, he would not obediently hand over the people to them at their disposal.
As for the Kong family, not to mention, they are simply soft bones in the face of royal power.
No matter which dynasty or generation is in power, they will wag their tails and beg for mercy to the court at that time, without the slightest sense of loyalty.
Now that Lu Yan's momentum is in full swing, how could they offend Lu Yan for a few slaves, at this time, Zhu Huiyan and Su Xiaolan Yingying walked down from the boat.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiaoyi and Shangguan Yan hurriedly stepped forward to thank them.
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, for rescuing Miss Yan'er, otherwise our prince may have a hard time in his life."
"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, this kindness and virtue of the little woman must be remembered in her heart. In the next life, there will be a grass ring to repay the king's kindness. β
Zhu Huiyan smiled faintly, and then said to Shangguan Yan: "I don't need you to repay in the next life." As long as you don't forget the agreement between you and me. β
"Please rest assured, Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, the little girl will definitely keep her promise."
Shangguan Yan hurriedly said.
Their conversation made Zhang Xiaoyi confused, did Zhu Huiyan make any requests to Shangguan Yan?
However, he is not good at asking here, and everything will have to wait until there is a chance in the future.
After receiving Zhu Huiyan, the army continued to move south.
And the news of Lu Yan's upcoming wedding also spread farther and farther, and many vassal states of the Ming Dynasty also sent envoys to celebrate after learning about it.
At the same time, they also inquired about Lu Yan by the way. How long does Lu Yan plan to use troops against Nanyang?
Now that Luzon is gone, Lu Yan has no intention of stopping.
There is still a steady stream of troops to the South Seas. Tens of thousands of troops have been thrown into Borneo and have begun to take cities there.
This made those vassal states very frightened, and they were all worried that they would become Lu Yan's next target, and with their strength, how could they be Lu Yan's opponents.
For these envoys, Lu Yan was of course kind words and comfort. Tell them that his army will not fight them.
It's just that some island countries in the South Seas are extremely disrespectful to the Ming Dynasty, often robbing the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty and killing the people of the Ming Dynasty, so the Ming Dynasty will send troops to attack them.
Of course, in Lu Yan's mouth, these island countries also include the Westerners who occupy the local area.
Upon learning of this explanation, the emissaries of the vassal states were still skeptical.
The main reason is that Lu Yan's movement is too big, and it is many times more fierce than when Zheng He went to the West.
As a result, they all rushed to ask for all kinds of support, such as sending troops to fight together. Support food and salary, etc., to ensure that everything is based on Lu Yan's horse.
Hearing this, he stunned Lu Yan for a long time.
But soon he understood their thoughts. They are showing their loyalty, and they are worried that Lu Yan will break his promise in the future, so they hope to tie themselves to Lu Yan's chariot.
At this time, Lu Yan discovered the benefits of being a world power, and he sent troops to attack Nanyang, and a group of younger brothers competed to send troops and food, even compared with the United States in later generations.
He thought about it. just agreed to their request for food, after all, no matter how much food is there, he will not be too short.
As for sending troops, it's better to be exempted. The natives of the South Seas are too weak to need their help.
However, if given the chance, he would not mind forming a coalition in the future*.
After all, there are too many casualties in siege warfare, and it is a good choice if there is cannon fodder to help attack.
As the big wedding approached, the whole of Hangzhou fell into a festive atmosphere.
Due to the large amount of gold and silver seized from Nanyang, and recently a lot of oil and water from the Westerners, Lu Yan's finances are now very healthy, and those vassal states are willing to provide part of the grain and grass of the Nanyang army.
So Lu Yan decided to reduce all taxes this year by 10% to celebrate his wedding.
After learning the news, the whole Jiangnan was jubilant.
There is probably no one in this world who does not like tax deductions.

The bright full moon hung in the sky, although it was very late, but there was no sign of quiet in the city of Hangzhou, and it was still in a carnival.
In order to show favor to Lu Yan, some Ming Dynasty took the initiative to set up a flowing water mat and invited the people to go and compensate.
The streets of Hangzhou are also full of tourists, and the streets are like the New Year, hanging with all kinds of lanterns, attracting people to go and watch.
Hangzhou Wuwangfu is also a lively scene, people have pushed cups to change lamps, to express their congratulations to Lu Yan.
After Lu Yan only drank a little wine, he said that he was not strong enough to drink, and then said goodbye to everyone and walked towards the cave room, causing everyone to laugh.
Some thick red candles were lit in the cave room in the depths of King Wu's mansion, which illuminated the cave room very brightly.
Zhu Huiyan's face was covered with redness, she was wearing a red cloth cover on her head, and she was a little restless when she sat on the new bed.
After some time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the room, and a man pushed the door in.
This made Zhu Huiyan feel even more uneasy, she quietly twisted her body, and was afraid of being discovered by the other party.
After the other party closes the door. He walked over slowly, and then walked in front of her.
This made Zhu Huiyan hold her breath in fright, and her heart beat violently.
Then a man slowly lifted her hijab. was so frightened that Zhu Huiyan closed her eyes tightly.
It was a long time before she slowly opened her eyes.
A very good-looking young man was spotted staring blankly at him.
This one is wearing a big red groom dress, needless to say, it is Lu Yan.
She looked at this man with mixed feelings, it was this man who forced Da Ming into a desperate situation, forcing the imperial brother to marry her to him in order to ease the relationship between the two parties.
It was also this man who drove the Jurchens out of Gyeonggi and wiped out Luzon. Expand the territory for the Ming Dynasty.
Lu Yan also looked at Zhu Huiyan in a daze.
Zhu Huiyan in front of her is just a thin powder, curved eyebrows. The delicate nose, the skin as white as jade, the flushed cheeks, and the delicate face. It looks like a fairy who has fallen into the dust.
Is this your own princess?
I didn't expect a person I had never met before to become my wife, it was really strange in ancient times, Lu Yan thought a little off-topic.
Lu Yan sat down next to her, and Zhu Huiyan suddenly felt a little panicked.
She quietly sat down next to her, but soon a strong arm wrapped her around Lu Yan's arms.
A slightly alcoholic man's scent came to her nose, and her cheeks were feverish.
She tried to resist, but soon she felt wrong.
could only let Lu Yan hold her in his arms.
It was the first time she had been held in a man's arms when she was so big, which made her blush. She didn't dare to look at Lu Yan. I had to obediently close my eyes.
Looking at Zhu Huiyan, whose face was blushing, Lu Yan felt amused.
What a thin-skinned person, he slowly approached Zhu Huiyan. A burst of youthful fragrance came to his nose, making Lu Yan's index finger move.
He kissed Zhu Huiyan gently, and when he was attacked suddenly, Zhu Huiyan's body stiffened violently as if she had been electrocuted.
Then he opened his beautiful big eyes in horror and found that Lu Yan had already kissed him.
"Don't!"
Zhu Huiyan said softly, and then wanted to push Lu Yan away with her hand.
But at this time, where can her strength push away Lu Yan, who wants to be bad. And he took the opportunity to put his tongue in her mouth and greedily sucked her fragrant tongue.
Zhu Huiyan was softened by Lu Yan's actions. Confusion.
If it weren't for Lu Yan supporting her, maybe she would have fallen.
But soon she exclaimed, and a large hand had crept into her garment, and began to search for it.
Zhu Huiyan hurriedly used her own hands to block the big hand that was making a mistake, but it was constantly broken by Lu Yan's other hand.
Then this big hand kept attacking the city and plundering the land in Zhu Huiyan's clothes, which made Zhu Huiyan feel the urge to faint.
Zhu Huiyan's whole body was like a fever, and she let out an unconscious moaning sound.
Seeing that this hand was taking more and more advantage in her clothes, she was not even satisfied, and she had to move downstream.
Frightened, Zhu Huiyan hit a sharp zero, and then bit down hard.
"Ahh
Lu Yan couldn't help but cry out in pain.
"What are you doing?"
Lu Yan said to her with some annoyance.
Zhu Huiyan was so ashamed that she had to dig a hole into it, and before coming here, her mother had personally told her what the matter of men and women was.
Of course, she knew that she was doing something wrong, but she still said, "You...... You can't...... That's it. β
Listening to Zhu Huiyan's mosquito-like voice, Lu Yan couldn't help laughing, slapped her buttocks hard, and then said, "Be obedient, otherwise the family law will serve." β
Suddenly, her buttocks were attacked, and Zhu Huiyan was like a frightened child, not knowing what to do.
But soon she became angry and beat Lu Yan with a powder fist.
Lu Yan laughed, then hugged her into his arms, and was about to kiss her again, but she was firmly blocked.
Lu Yan looked at her with some puzzlement, only to see her stand up, and then spread a piece of white silk onto the bed.
Lu Yan looked at her quietly, he knew that this was a very important ritual in ancient times, and if it was found that a woman was not a virgin after the round house, it would be looked down upon by the whole family.
"Lord Wang, blow out the candle."
Zhu Huiyan said with a red face.
Lu Yan also knew that she was thin-skinned, and if she lit the candle, she probably wouldn't let him succeed.
So he stepped forward and blew out the candles, and waited until it was dark in the room before holding her to celebrate.
"Lord, you must take pity on your concubines."
Zhu Huiyan said with a slight tremor in his ear.
Lu Yan's heart trembled, then nodded heavily, and assured her solemnly: "You just have to rest assured, this king assures you that no matter what happens, you will always be this king's beloved concubine." Forever!! Forever!!! β
Hearing Lu Yan's categorical assurance, Zhu Huiyan was relieved.
It wasn't long before a red-faced cry came from inside the cave room. (To be continued)
