Licheng County's Xia Wangfu is full of lights, everyone is smiling, full of joy, tomorrow is the day of the marriage of the princess of the line, so that the people of the entire Licheng County are stained with joy, Dou Jiande specially sent someone to each family to send three catties of rice, wrapped in red cloth, won a piece of praise from the people of Licheng County, and came to the door of the Xia Wangfu to say hello to the old prince.

Dou Jiande was even more happy, and simply pardoned the prisoners, and all the prisons in all the counties and counties under his jurisdiction were opened to let the prisoners leave, and Dou Jiande also wanted to use the joy of marriage to dilute the shadow of Hebei's failure.

Liu Heimin also came, he brought 3,000 war horses, as a dowry for his son to marry the lineman, his son Liu Zhi was even more happy, and even dreamed of waiting for the moment of the candle in the cave room.

But not everyone is happy about this marriage, Dou Jiande's princess Cao is worried, Cao is not Dou Jiande's original match, she is Dou Jiande's wife after falling into the grass and high chicken.

Cao is also from a peasant family, can bear hardships and stand hard work, follows Dou Jiande to fight the country, supports her husband to distribute money and property to the soldiers, eats bran with Dou Jiande, is willing to be poor, and has made great contributions to Dou Jiande's unification of Hebei, which is deeply admired by Dou Jiande.

Although Cao's temper is not very good, people are jealous, but she is very kind by nature, she is the kind of woman with a knife mouth and a tofu heart, she is forty years old this year, and she has no children and no daughters under her knees, so she raised her as her own, and loves her very much.

Now the line mother is seventeen years old, and when she reaches the age of marriage, Cao also began to consider finding her a wishful husband, Cao wants to find a literati husband for the line girl, the reason is that the line mother is originally good at martial arts, if her husband is also a military general, the two will fight all day in the future, and what will they live.

But the informant doesn't like literati, thinking that they are useless, and Dou Jiande doesn't like literati as sons-in-law, and the opposition of the two important figures. made Cao lose the possibility of getting a literati son-in-law, and she had to turn her attention to the military general.

In fact, it doesn't matter what kind of person you marry, the important thing is to have a good character and a good heart. can love his wife, a few months ago, Dou Jiande mentioned that Liu Heimin wanted to propose marriage to his son.

Liu Heimin grew up with her husband, the two are like brothers, and it is actually a beautiful thing to get married again, but the Cao family doesn't like Liu Zhi very much. Liu Zhi has always been the defender of the capital, Dou Jiande has been fighting abroad for many years, and Liu Zhi is responsible for guarding the capital.

Dou Jiande didn't know Liu Zhi, but Cao knew him very well, he had a violent personality, murderous like hemp, and he was very good at fishing, and he often heard him robbing people's daughters in the capital. Even Cao has seen with his own eyes that this person is addicted to alcohol, and when he drinks, he whips people with a whip. Killing soldiers often happens, fighting with people, and killing people with knives at the slightest quarrel, the informant marries this kind of person, isn't it going to hurt her for a lifetime.

Cao is a woman, she knows very well what marriage means to a woman, and she strongly opposes this marriage, but her husband is already determined to marry the line girl to the fire calf, and Cao no longer knows how to persuade her husband.

Seeing that tomorrow is the day when the informant gets married, the Cao family is so anxious that he is restless in the palace. At this time, a maid came to report, "Princess, Mrs. Liu is here." ”

Mrs. Liu is Liu Heimin's wife, surnamed Hao, and she is not Liu Heimin's original partner. His original partner has died in the prison of the government, Hao is Liu Heimin's new wife when he married in Douzigang, Hao Xiaode's sister, and she is also an extremely powerful woman who has practiced martial arts.

Cao Shi didn't want to see this Mrs. Hao at this time, but out of politeness, she had to see her, so she had to hold back her displeasure and said, "Please let her in!" ”

For a moment, there was a sound of heavy footsteps, which made people can't help but worry about the shoemaker, and then a shrill laughter like a loud bird came, "Sister Cao, tomorrow is the day of our two families' big day, and the little sister will come to congratulate you first!" ”

Immediately afterwards, an extremely strong aroma of fat powder gushed into the house, and the maid standing next to her was almost fainted.

A woman in a red dress and a green dress swept in like a gust of wind, she was Liu Heimin's wife, Mrs. Hao.

Mrs. Hao was about thirty years old and looked very masculine, in other words, if she was not dressed as a woman, then it was easy to think of her as a man, with a tall figure, thick eyebrows, deep eyes, and a well-defined face.

But she was dressed as a woman among women, with a high bun, her hair was covered with gold and silver beads, and the color of her hair could not be seen clearly, and the powder on her face was at least half an inch thick, as if the walls of the old house had just been painted with lime, and even if it was snow-white, the potholes on it were still clearly visible.

Her lips were painted bright red, red like a burning fire, so dazzling that she didn't dare to look at it more, lest she anger her and be swallowed by her in one gulp.

In fact, this is also one of the reasons why Cao Shi doesn't want to see her, she is afraid that she will not dare to sleep at night.

"Mrs. Hao is so happy."

Cao Shi smiled reluctantly, "Madam, please take a seat!" ”

Mrs. Hao did not sit on her knees like ordinary women, but sat cross-legged with a grin, and her two big bare legs sat directly on the cold couch, and her long skirt swung to both sides to cover the bottom.

Cao Shi gave the maid a look and asked her to pour the tea, but Mrs. Hao waved her hand, "Don't pour the tea, the family is very busy preparing for marriage, and the cave room has to be arranged. ”

"Madame, please!" Cao smiled reluctantly.

"I'm here to give my daughter-in-law a gift, it's something I have to do as a mother-in-law."

Mrs. Hao was holding an ivory box in her arms, which made people feel that it should be full of valuable jewelry, and as a mother-in-law, it was normal to give some private gifts first.

"Madame is so polite."

"You're welcome, I said it had to be done."

Mrs. Hao put the ivory box on the table and opened it, and Cao was stunned for a moment, there was no jewelry in it, but a thick booklet.

"Madam, is this ....." Cao asked puzzled.

Mrs. Hao stretched her face and said: "This is the rule of the Liu family, and it is also my rule, a total of one hundred and eight, let the informant take a good look tonight, I don't want her to be special, I hope that she will strictly abide by the rules of the Liu family when she marries, otherwise, don't blame my family law for being ruthless." ”

After speaking, she stood up, said goodbye, and left like a gust of wind, leaving Cao Shi stunned, and after a while, she slowly picked up the booklet. It turned out to be a long, hard banner, folded together, and pulled out to be four feet long, densely covered with small letters. From the first to the one hundred and eighth.

Cao's eyes stared out the window, as if she was making some major decision, she pondered for a long time, and finally made up her mind, stood up and walked quickly towards the east courtyard......

Dou Xianniang was locked up in an empty room in the East Courtyard, which was where Dou Jiande interrogated the traitor, with a small window. It was fitted with thumb-thick iron bars, the door was iron, and the walls were made of bluestone on all sides, and there was no way to escape.

The light in the room was very dim, there was only a wooden couch, and Dou Xianniang sat on the wooden couch, her eyes firm and calm, although tomorrow was her happy day. But she would rather kill the man than share a bed with him.

For two days, Dou Jiande would come to persuade her every day. She had only one answer, 'My father wouldn't trade me for profit.' ’

The implication is that she no longer admits that Dou Jiande is her father, and keeps saying that she loves her, but in the end, she exchanged the happiness of her life for military power, which is not something a father would do.

Dou Xianniang hated that Liu Zhi very much, the man who didn't know how many women and children he had killed, she couldn't allow him to be her husband no matter what, she would kill him with a knife.

Dou Xianniang is seventeen years old, and she has reached the age of Sichun. Like girls of the same age, she also wants to marry a heroic man she loves, and she also longs for this person to appear in her life.

With her identity, I don't know how many people have their hearts for her, but no man can be favored by her. It can enter her heart.

In fact..... No, there was a man in her life, his image was etched in her mind, he gave him back his horse and weapon, turned and left without hesitation.

His tall and burly body, his deep character, his majestic posture commanding thousands of horses and thousands of troops, she knew that his name was Luo Shixin, that is, a native of Licheng County, and they were their enemies, but ..... She was no longer able to drive his figure away from her heart, and as time went by, she went to Luo Shixin's former residence more than once and took care of his relatives in Licheng County.

Dou Xianniang sighed lowly.

At this time, the voice of the guards came from outside the iron gate, "See the princess!" ”

"You guys step back first, I'm going to say a few words to the line girl alone."

"Yes!" The soldiers retreated.

Dou Xianniang didn't move, tomorrow is the day of marriage, is my aunt also here to persuade herself? Although her aunt was very good to her, Uncle Dou Jiande's ruthlessness made her good impression of her aunt gradually fade.

"Line girl, are you there?" Cao's anxious voice came from outside the door.

Dou Xianniang said coldly: "Auntie, if you also come to persuade me, then you can go back!" ”

"Alas! I'm not advising you, I'm going to give you one, take it quickly. ”

In the dim light, I saw something passed in through the crack in the door, it was a black ruler, Dou Xianniang hurriedly stepped forward to catch it, heavy, wrapped in black cloth.

"Line girl, let's go! The farther away from here, the better. ”

"Auntie!" Dou Linniang's eyes were sour, and tears rolled out.

Cao's eyes were also a little red, and he said in a trembling voice: "Child, take care!" The aunt is gone. ”

She turned around and ran away, Dou Xianniang felt sad in her heart, she slowly opened the cloth bag, and was stunned for a moment, her eyes flashed with excitement, the black cloth turned out to be Uncle Dou Jiande's most beloved short sword, the cold ice sword, which can be sharpened like clay.

As soon as Dou Xianniang turned around, her eyes fell on a few iron bars in the small window......

At the beginning of the night, darkness shrouded Licheng County, and the time for the city gate to close was approaching, several soldiers guarding the gate yawned and walked lazily towards the city.

At this time, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and the soldiers were stunned, and turned their heads to look, and as the sound of horses' hooves got closer and closer, they saw clearly that it was a woman, wearing a hood, covering her body tightly, revealing only two eyes, the eyes were exceptionally bright, and her war horse seemed to be very familiar.

"Stop! Who is it? The soldiers shouted.

The woman suddenly opened her bow and aimed her arrows at the soldiers, who were so frightened that they squatted down with their heads in their hands, and took advantage of this stunned time for the woman to ride out of the city.

The arrow didn't hit, the soldiers looked at each other, and one of the soldiers suddenly reacted, "Isn't that the princess's warhorse?" ”

More than a dozen soldiers defending the city immediately understood that this was the princess who had escaped from marriage.

"Shhh

Everyone booed and whispered, "We didn't see anything, let the princess run away." ”……

Dou Xianniang ran out of the city, she took out a gold ingot from the horse bag, looked at it, her eyes showed a trace of tenderness, this is the gold he gave herself at the beginning, she put the gold back in the bag, whipped the war horse, and galloped away in the northwest direction.
