――――――――――――――――――――――――

In the twenty-seventh year of Dayong Wuwei, the border of the Northern Han Dynasty, the autumn wind was blowing, on the avenue leading from Yanmen Pass to Daizhou City, a red-clothed knight Pegasus galloped, smoke and dust rolling, only faintly saw that it was a rouge horse with fur like blood, red mane like flames, although the knight's body was blocked by the big coat and the hood above, and he couldn't see his appearance and posture, but he could faintly see that the person was dressed in a red suit, covered with a big coat of the same color, and a black sandalwood bow was slanted on the back shoulder, and a bag of white feathered arrows hung next to the saddle, and the hilt was faintly exposed with gold and jade, the blade is covered by a large sword, and I can't see what the style of the scabbard is, but I know that this is a treasure knife that is difficult to change just by looking at the handle.

The red-clothed knight was galloping wildly, and suddenly five knights rushed out from both sides, all of them were barbarian knights with left hair, rushing towards the red-clothed knight, and when the two sides were about to collide together, the red-clothed knight quickly opened his bow and shot arrows, the white feather arrows were like streamers, one bow and three arrows, the bowstring sounded, and two knights did not expect that this red-clothed knight would be able to shoot arrows at such a short distance, turn over and fall off the horse. However, a bow and three arrows were a little reluctant for the red knight, and the third arrow was weak and weak, and was pulled away by a knight with a knife. The remaining three knights shouted loudly and slaughtered fiercely. The cardinal had no time to fire his arrows, so he drew his sword to meet him. The four of them are all knights skilled in horse warfare, and the battle is in full swing, although the red knight has sharp swords and excellent riding skills, but the three barbarian knights are also brave warriors, and gradually, the red knight began to be a little unable to parry. Suddenly, the cardinal knight suddenly shouted and shouted, "Look at the poison powder." With a flick of his left hand, a cloud of pink smoke rushed towards the two barbarian knights. The two knights dodged left and right, revealing a gap, and the red-clothed knight took the opportunity to urge his horse, rushed out of the encirclement, and rushed towards the way he came. The barbarian knights reflexively chased after them, who knew that they were about to close the siege just now, the red-clothed knight lifted the reins of the horse, and the rouge horse actually raised its front hooves high, reversed the horse's head, and ran towards Daizhou City without slowing down at all. Those barbarian knights didn't expect that the red knight's riding skills would be so powerful, so they couldn't help but stagnate, and by the time they turned over and chased after them, they were already far behind.

The red-clothed knight glanced back in distress, the barbarian knights were still in hot pursuit, the red-clothed knight's silver teeth were clenched, she was not worried about safety, twenty miles ahead was Daizhou City, these barbarian knights who didn't know how to get in would never dare to chase after them, but if they were known to be traveling alone but were ambushed, then they would not want to be so free in the next few months. At this time, her eyes lit up, there was a gray-clothed knight in front of her who was slowly moving forward, the horse was also one in a hundred horses, and the knight on the horse also carried bows and arrows. Thinking of this, the cardinal shouted loudly, "Dude, release the arrows." ”

The gray-clothed knight looked back in amazement, and a hint of coldness immediately flashed in his eyes, and he turned around to greet him. The yellow horse and the red knight staggered by, and the red knight heard the sound of the bowstring in his ears, and just listening to the sound of the string, the red knight knew that the bow was not strong, and it was generally only used by women in Daizhou. But hearing the sound of the bow and arrow breaking the wind, the red knight couldn't help but be stunned, it was clearly a bow and five arrows. When she rode her horse back, she happened to see five feather arrows lined up in an arrow array of three in the front and two in the back, one of which shot into the throat of a barbarian, and the other two feather arrows had just been blocked by the other two, and the two feather arrows had already arrived. The two glanced at each other, rode their horses and galloped, taking with them their dead companions and the ownerless horses with them.

The red-clothed knight breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward and arched his hand: "Thank you brother Tai for saving your life, Lin Tong is here to thank you." ”

The gray-clothed knight turned around, his eyes were bright, and he saw that the red-clothed knight was combing his three hairheads, and there was a golden hairpin next to the red silk scarf on his head, but he was sixteen or seventeen years old, his skin was like snow, his eyebrows were curved, his black eyes were crystal clear, and the corners of his pink and delicate cherry lips were slightly upturned, looking naughty and delicate.

The red knight was also stunned, the gray knight was also a young man in his early twenties, handsome and handsome, and even a little weak, but between his eyebrows there was a bit of thoroughness and cynical idleness. This red-clothed girl said that most of the men she saw were five big men and three thick men, and most of the handsome men among them were also handsome and handsome, where had I seen such a delicate beautiful man, she couldn't help blushing and asked: "Who are you, I don't see you like a person from my Northern Han Dynasty, you won't be a person from the Northern Han Dynasty, won't you be a fine man?" ”

The gray-clothed knight had calmed down and said with a smile: "This young lady, this is not the reason to repay the favor, how can you treat the benefactor as a fine one?" ”

Lin Tong, the girl in red, blushed again, and said: "It's one thing for you to save my surname's life, it's another thing to be fine or not, if you don't say it, I'll send you to see the official." ”

The gray-clothed knight deliberately exaggeratedly said: "Oh, the county lord of Hongxia is really good, it seems that I saved the wrong person?" ”

The girl in red couldn't help but be stunned, she was the second daughter of Lin Yuanting, the general of Yingyang who guarded Daizhou and Yanmen, Lin Yuanting was the head of the Daizhou family, a heavy minister of the Northern Han Dynasty, married to the eldest princess of Anqing, the eldest princess gave birth to four sons and two daughters, the four sons are famous tiger generals, the eldest daughter Lin Bi was adopted as a righteous daughter by Liu You, the current lord of the Northern Han Dynasty, and was given the title of Princess Jiaping, who is twenty-three years old this year.

Lin Bi is not only beautiful and intelligent, but also rare is a slightly outstanding martial arts army, who has faced the attacks of barbarians many times and made great achievements. Marrying Lin Bi has always been the goal of the warriors of the Northern Han Dynasty, and Lin Bi also vowed not to marry for life unless he is a like-minded hero. But how many people are worthy of such a woman? It wasn't until two years ago that Weiyuan's general Long Tingfei's wife died, and Lin Bi fell into the Long family. Long Tingfei was only twenty or thirty years old at the time, and he was handsome and mighty, with high power and great military achievements, and the lord of the Northern Han Dynasty not only reused him, but also couldn't help but be a little jealous, in order to win over important ministers, marriage is naturally the best way, Lin Bi is not only talented and beautiful, but also from the royal family, naturally the best candidate, and Long Tingfei is also worthy of Lin Bi's hero, so this marriage has become a beautiful talk. However, because Long Tingfei's wife had just passed away, and he was busy fighting with Dayong, the two parties agreed not to get married for the time being.

This girl in red is born like this, although she is pampered, but she is not a young lady who doesn't know anything, if it is the identity of the lord of Hongxia, there is no one in this Daizhou who sees her rouge horse and red clothes, but this young man is obviously not a local, but he knows his identity at first sight, which can't help but make her suspicious.

Suspicious, her tone was a little more cold, and said: "Who are you, if you don't tell the truth, don't blame me for being ruthless." He gripped the hilt of his sword as he spoke.

The young man was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "The county lord Hugh wants to be angry, the grass people are surnamed Wang, and the single name is Ji, not Annihilation." ”

Lin Tong's complexion eased slightly, looked the young man up and down for a moment, and asked, "Seeing that you don't look like a Northern Han person, you should quickly explain your origin to the county lord." ”

The young man smiled bitterly and said: "County Lord, the grass people are the people of Southern Chu, and then they lived in all directions, the year before last, the grass people went to the north, because they are good at healing horses and livestock, so they are more in the barbarian land, some time ago, I heard that Daizhou set up a field this autumn, so I specially came to Daizhou, I wanted to see the prosperity of the field, but I met the county lord, because the grass people have already heard that the county lord this rouge horse is a famous BMW in Daizhou, so I recognized the county lord, what the grass people said is the truth, and asked the county lord to know it. ”

Lin Tong looked at the young man in surprise for a long time, and said: "Wang Ji, wouldn't you be the 'Bole Divine Doctor' among the barbarians, I heard that you are not only good at healing livestock, but also good at horses?" ”

The young man smiled: "I don't dare to be the county lord and praise it, the grass people do have a little fame in the barbarian land, and I didn't expect the county lord to have heard of it." ”

Lin Tong said: "Of course, my Daizhou is close to the barbarian land, and I dare not ignore the movement of the barbarian land at every time, but it is a pity that the barbarian land is vast and sparsely populated, and the tribes live in water and grass one by one, and all kinds of information are always not detailed enough." I originally thought that what people called 'Bole Divine Doctor' must be a respected old gentleman, but I didn't expect it to be, but it was so young, Wang Ji, the lord of this county asked you, you were originally from Southern Chu, where did you learn the veterinarian and Soma skills, how could you go to the barbarian land? ”

The young man smiled bitterly again: "County Lord, you can't just say it, blocking the road is not a solution, right?" ”

Lin Tong was shocked that there were already pedestrians on the road, so he said: "The county lord is going to Daizhou to go shopping, you can go with me, tell me slowly on the way, don't let you escape, otherwise the county lord will let your father send an army to hunt you down." ”

The young man smiled: "The grass people don't dare, the county lord please." ”

The two rode their horses to Daizhouxing, and for some inexplicable reason, neither of them let their horses gallop, but walked slowly, continuing to talk as they walked.

Lin Tong asked, "Wang Ji, you haven't said who you learned from yet?" Although it was the same question, there was less skepticism and more curiosity in his eyes.

The young man seemed to be in deep thought, and it wasn't until Lin Tong asked again that he woke up, and said with a smile: "Speaking of the master of the grass people, he is a rare strange person in the world, and what he has learned is unpredictable. A few years ago, he dismissed many of his subordinates, and the grass people were one of them. Although the grass people also got a lot of gold and silver, they couldn't sit and eat empty, and after thinking about it, the grass people had no other skills, so they could only make a living by being a veterinarian. But if this veterinarian is in Nanchu and Dayong, it is just to be able to eat a mouthful, and the grass people are the most unwilling to be left behind, I want to think about it, life is a lifetime, and I can't be mediocre, so I went to the barbarian land, where there are the most livestock, and all kinds of incurable diseases are also the most, if I am famous there, I will naturally be famous all over the world, and I will not need to worry about my livelihood in the future. Finally the grass people are lucky, they have not made any mistakes in practicing medicine for several years, although the barbarians are brave and thirsty to kill, but they are the most respectful to the veterinarians, so the grass people are also at ease in the barbarians, as for Bole's words, it is that the grass people recognized a few rare horses, and the news was false, and the result was in the ears of the county lord, which was inevitably a little exaggerated. ”

Lin Tong rolled his eyes and asked, "It seems that although you are young, you have traveled a lot, and this county lord has something he wants to ask you?" ”

Wang Ji bowed down on the horse and said, "Please ask the county lord to inquire, if the grass people know, they will not dare to hide it." ”

Lin Tong said: "You even know the lord of this county, so you must have heard of my sister Lin Bi, Princess Jiaping?" ”

Wang Ji nodded and said: "The grass people have naturally heard that Princess Jiaping is a heroine among women, leading the army to repel the invading barbarians repeatedly, who in the Northern Han Dynasty does not know the princess's name, I heard that the princess has been promised to General Long, it is a pair of peerless couples, who in the world does not envy." ”

Lin Tong said proudly: "Yes, my brother-in-law is a great hero, and the world means that he can be worthy of my sister." However, I always hear that others put a princess of Changle and my sister side by side, is there any woman in the world who can compare with my sister? I don't believe it, but no one is willing to tell me about this princess of Changle, you won't say that you don't know, right? ”

Looking at Lin Tong's round apricot eyes, Wang Ji couldn't help but burst out laughing, until he saw Lin Tong's expression becoming more and more annoyed, he stopped smiling and said, "No wonder they refuse to tell you that this Princess Changle has had a bumpy experience, and she is a Dayong person, so they refuse to tell you." ”

Lin Tong said excitedly: "Then you know, tell me quickly." ”

Wang Ji thought for a while and said: "The title of this Princess Changle is actually Princess Changle of Ningguo, he is the eldest daughter of Emperor Li Yuan of Dayong, her biological mother was originally a concubine, she was promoted to the queen three years ago, and now she is the queen mother. Her Royal Highness the princess's surname is Zixian Shuzhenjing, and at the age of sixteen, she married my prince of Nanchu as a concubine, and later the prince ascended the throne, and the princess became the mother of Nanchu. ”

Lin Tong asked suspiciously: "Is this the reason why others put her and her sister alongside?" ”

Wang Ji shook his head and smiled: "Naturally not, although this princess has a noble status, it is a pity that Dayong and Nanchu are hostile, although no one in Nanchu dares to treat her badly, but this princess is afraid that there is no moment of joy in her heart, and she lives in seclusion in the deep palace all the year round, and later, in the twenty-second year of Nanchu Xiande, that year the lord of the country was changed to Yuanzhihua, but this era has been abandoned, Xiande twenty-three years, that is, the nineteenth year of your country's prosperity, Li Zhen, the king of Yong at that time, led his troops to break through the capital of Nanchu and took Princess Changle back to Dayong. ”

Lin Tong looked happy and said: "Is this good, the princess is not happy in Nanchu, although I hate the Dayong people, but the emperor of Dayong is still doing a good job." ”

Wang Ji smiled and said: "Soon after the princess returned to Dayong, the lord of the country was released back to Nanchu, but she died on the way, so the emperor of Dayong wanted to find another colt for the princess." At that time, the emperor took a fancy to three candidates, one was Qin Qing, the son of Qin Yi, the general of Fuyuan, the other was Wei Ying, the son of Wei Guan, the prime minister of Dayong, and the other was Xiahou Yuanfeng, the deputy head of the imperial guard of Dayong. ”

Lin Tong asked excitedly, "So which one does the princess fancy in?" ”

Wang Ji shook his head and said, "The princess doesn't like any of them. ”

Lin Tong said in surprise: "She doesn't like it, isn't it because of someone like my brother-in-law that she likes?" ”

Wang Ji smiled and said: "How many people like General Long can there be in the world, and the grass people don't know if Her Royal Highness the princess likes heroes like General Long, but in the end, Emperor Dayong spoke, as long as it is the person that Her Royal Highness the princess likes, no matter what his identity is, he can be a concubine?" ”

Lin Tong asked curiously, "Who did Princess Changle choose in the end?" ”

Wang Ji sighed and said: "How can this horse be chosen at will, no matter which dynasty or generation, the so-called princess, the daughter of the daughter, this word happiness is the most rare, either marrying the family of meritorious heroes as a tool to envelop courtiers, or making a sacrifice of relatives." Princess Changle and Qin Nanchu are such victims. Although she was lucky to return home, Emperor Yongdi arranged a few candidates for her concubines, all of whom were also famous children, saying that she would let Her Royal Highness the princess choose a concubine at will, but I was afraid that Princess Changle really had a crush, either for Emperor Yongdi to kill, or for the unsuccessful sons to assassinate. And although the matter of the lord is extremely glorious, for the real heroes and heroes, they may feel gentle and unwilling to give in. So in the end, Princess Changle didn't say a word, gritted her teeth and refused to choose a son-in-law. Later, Emperor Yongdi decreed that the princess would be married to Wei Ying, but Princess Changle would rather be a monk than marry, and in the end, the emperor could only let her keep the festival and not marry. At that time, it was rumored that Princess Changle might be grateful to the lord of Southern Chu for her deep kindness and wanted to observe the festival for the lord of the country. ”

Lin Tong didn't speak this time, but his eyes showed disapproval.

Wang Ji knew that this was because the Northern Han Dynasty was located on the border, and young and strong men were prone to death in battle, so in order to maintain the population, widows were not encouraged to observe festivals. He didn't say anything, and continued: "Later, people speculated that Her Royal Highness the princess had eyes like a torch and could see through people's loyalty and future at a glance, so they were reluctant to choose horses from those young talents. ”

Lin Tong couldn't help but ask, "How do you say this?" ”

Wang Ji said with a smile: "The county lord must not remember, in the twenty-first year of Rongsheng, that is, the twenty-fifth year of Dayong Wuwei, Dayong had civil strife, and the then prince Li An committed rebellion, and was later forced to commit suicide. ”

Lin Tong said: "I remember, my sister and brother-in-law got engaged that year, but my brother-in-law was busy sending troops to attack Dayong, and the marriage has been delayed until now. ”

Wang Ji said: "That Xiangguo prince Wei Ying, participated in the rebellion, and later fled with Fengyimen, and now he doesn't know where he is, but his father committed suicide to apologize, if it weren't for the emperor of Dayong to take care of his father's merits, I'm afraid that even the nine clans will suffer." That Qin Qingqin general married the wrong person, his wife Jingjiang County Lord Li Hanyou was rebellious and attempted to assassinate Princess Changle, but this Qin general was killed by his wife, and it is said that Fengyimen successfully forced the palace to rebel, also because this Qin general fell for his wife. ”

Wang Ji paused, picked up the water bag next to the saddle and drank the water, Lin Tong took the opportunity to ask, "Then what about the one named Xiahou Yuanfeng?" ”

Wang Ji thought for a while and said: "How to say it, this person has now become an upstart in front of the new monarch, although he is still the identity of the deputy chief, but it is rumored that King Yong has set up a 'Mingjian Division' in the inner court in recent years, this Xiahou Yuanfeng is the person in charge of the Mingjian Division, the grass people don't know what this Mingjian Division does, but I just heard that if the Wenchen generals of Dayong hear the name of the Mingjian Division, most of them will frown, and this Xiahou Yuanfeng is not a good candidate for a horse anyway, right?" ”

Lin Tong heard this and asked: "I see, this Princess Changle is really smart, but if you can compare with my sister with these, I don't accept it." ”

Wang Ji was about to answer, when his expression suddenly changed, and he said, "County Lord! There's a-"

Lin Tong was startled, and couldn't help but look back, only to see that just a few feet away, a female knight wearing an emerald riding costume and a yellow coat embroidered with a brocade phoenix was looking at him with a slight smile, the female knight was about twenty years old, and her appearance was seventy percent similar to Lin Tong, but she had long eyebrows and sideburns, phoenix eyes, grace and luxury, and her bearing was far above Lin Tong. Twenty feet behind the female knight, there were four men, four women, and eight knights, all of whom stood there on horseback without moving.

When the female knight saw that Lin Tong had realized herself, she smiled and said, "Tong'er, you sneaked out again." ”

Lin Tong exclaimed, "Sister." Then he jumped up from his horse and threw himself into the bosom of the woman in green clothes. As soon as the female knight reached out and happened to hold Lin Tong's slender hand, Lin Tong turned around with her strength, fell on the saddle of the woman in cuiyi, sat gently and skillfully in the woman's arms, and said with a bright smile on her face: "Sister, Tong'er just wants to go and see the excitement." ”

The woman in cuiyi smiled slightly, a hint of doting flashed in her phoenix eyes, and then her eyes fell on Wang Ji.

Wang Ji was shocked, hurriedly turned over and dismounted, bowed down and said, "Grass people Wang Ji, knock on Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

The woman in cuiyi, Princess Lin Bi of Jiaping stretched out her hand to help her, and said kindly: "No courtesy, it must be Tong'er who asked you about Princess Changle, right?" Listening to your elegant words, this palace must know the inside story well. ”

Lin Tong took his sister's arm and said: "Sister, he is the legendary Bole Miracle Doctor of the barbarians, I pestered him to ask questions, and he also saved my surname, sister can't blame him." ”

Hearing Lin Tong's words, the look in Lin Bi's eyes was much gentler, but with a little doubt, she bowed lightly on the horse and said: "It turned out to be Doctor Wang, I heard that Doctor Wang is good at treating horses, and the palace has been famous for a long time, and the two fish that slipped through the net have been captured by the palace. ”

Wang Ji said respectfully: "The grass people don't dare to thank His Royal Highness, the effort of raising their hands is not enough to worry about, if there is nothing else, please allow the grass people to leave." ”

When Lin Tong heard this, he pulled his sister's sleeve anxiously. Lin Bi said quietly: "Mr. Wang, I just heard you talk about the deeds of Princess Changle, and this palace is also very interested, you might as well continue to talk about it, and let this palace listen." ”

Wang Ji smiled bitterly, what kind of identity is Lin Bi, she is afraid that she is familiar with the anecdote of Princess Changle, but since she said so, what can she do? At that moment, they had to get on their horses, and the group continued to slowly walk towards Daizhou.
