Chapter 36: Gao Chen's Marriage
In fact, Ling Yun really wanted to smash Jin Zhu directly back into Chen Xiong's face, and then scold your mother. Although Lao Tzu is a son-in-law, how much better are you than me, but the illegitimate son of a former abolished prince who died in the country, the son-in-law and the illegitimate son are just half a catty and eight taels, why should the illegitimate son look down on the son-in-law, why should the man be embarrassed by the man. Isn't it just an illegitimate child, if it was ten years ago, although your father was already a waste prince, he still retained a royal position. But now, Nan Chendu has been dead for many years, what do you have to be proud of as an illegitimate son of a dead prince who has lost the country? The phoenix that falls on the shelf is not as good as a chicken, what are you. According to his arrogant point of view, Ling Yun should not also treat himself as a colt master.
Ling Yun was also an arrogant person in the past, especially when he was online, he was even more unscrupulous. People who often mess around on the Internet often encounter some scolding wars, and with the cloak of the Internet, who is afraid of whom. However, after arriving in the Great Sui, Ling Yun was no longer so radical, and he liked to think twice when he encountered something. Especially this little white-faced illegitimate child, although it is not worth mentioning, after all, he is a guest invited by Gao Qianxue, and there is a Wu Xing Shen family standing behind him. Ling Yun didn't want to demolish the shallow snow platform, so he endured such an occasion. After all, when Han Xin still had the humiliation of his crotch, a man could bend and stretch, just a few words, and he would not be unable to bear it.
Therefore, Ling Yun only raised his eyebrows a few times, and the corners of his mouth raised a smile that seemed to be a smile but not a smile.
Qinglian is not Lingyun, and it is impossible for him to have the amount of people he can be, it is said that women are the most careful, not to mention that now there is only one Lingyun Qinglian left in his heart. Seeing Chen Xiong so rudely contempt and insult his own Langjun, Qinglian couldn't help it, stomped her foot lightly, and said hurriedly, "This person is so rude!" Qinglian was only fourteen years old, usually gentle and virtuous, but now she had a gloomy face like a fierce female leopard, as if as long as Ling Yun nodded, she would rush forward and use her slender jade hands and beautiful nails to scratch Chen Xiong's face full of flowers. However, although she tried her best to express Ling Li's momentum, her face was too beautiful, so that people couldn't feel the murderous aura at all, but she thought it was very cute. Ling Yun chuckled, "Why bother to be like that kind of person, you are a guest from afar, you just don't have to pay attention to it." The dog bites you, you can't bite it like the dog, that will only pull down our vegetarian zhì in vain. ”
Ling Yun stretched out his hand and pulled Qinglian to his side, and then said with a smile, "Let's go, I'll take you to ride a horse, this Qingqi is a good horse at first glance, since Chen Gongzi lent it to us, then we don't have to be polite to him." Qinglian was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Ling Yun with some excitement. Does Lang Jun want to take her on a horse, the two of them ride together, so wouldn't she have to sit in his arms. "This horse is so majestic, the slave is afraid that he will not dare to ride it." In fact, Qinglian can ride a horse, and she and Mulan both learned riding skills with the two sisters, and their riding skills are not bad. But if she had the opportunity to ride with Ling Yun, how could she miss such an opportunity.
Although Ling Yun had seen Qinglian riding a horse that day, she didn't expect the little girl's little trick, but she really didn't dare to ride this big horse. At the moment, he just smiled, stepped on the saddle and got on the horse neatly, and then bent down to pick up Qinglian on the horse, hugged her in his arms, said and sat firmly, and then grabbed the horse's belly and rode away. Chen Xiong, who had already walked into the village with Gao Qianxue, heard the sound of horses' hooves, looked back, but happened to see Ling Yun galloping away with a beautiful woman sitting on his beloved Qingqi riding a horse, the whole person was stunned for a moment, his face was white and blue, blue and purple, but in front of Gao Qianxue and Xiao Shiluo, it was difficult to say anything. But he was cursing Ling Yun fiercely in his heart, he didn't expect that this damn son-in-law would be so arrogant and bold, and he thought that he would definitely find an opportunity to humiliate this kid for a while.
After the group entered the village, the housekeeper Gao Bo asked the housekeepers and maids of the two families to take them down to rest, leaving only Gao Qianxue sisters and Gao Bo Zhang Bo and a few other old people to enter the front hall with Chen Xiong, Xiao Shiluo and a few henchmen around them.
At the end of the formal meeting ceremony, Gao Qianxue asked people to serve agave tea, "Chen Gongzi, Xiao Gongzi, this is the new agave tea made by our Gao family's secret method, top quality, please taste tea." ”
Chen Xiong and Xiao Shiluo are both from big families, but this kind of tea brewed directly without adding any condiments, but the tea is fragrant and refreshing. Pick up the teacup, take a sip, smell fragrant, taste is unique, slightly bitter, but bitter with sweet, endless aftertaste. Sure enough, the tea is of the highest quality, and it is a treasure that even the finest montastone flowers cannot reach. This surprised both of them, they didn't expect the Gao family to have such a secret method. Both of them thought that this was the secret method of the Northern Qi royal family in the past, but they never thought that this tea was actually the hair of a son-in-law that Chen Xionggang looked down on.
After tasting the tea, Xiao Shiluo was the first to break the silence and said to Gao Qianxue straight to the point: "Two noble highnesses, this tea is really the best tea I have ever tasted." However, Xiangcha is just an unexpected joy, and when someone came today, he mainly wanted to join forces with the princess. Now, why don't you ask the princess to tell us about the cooperation? ”
Gao Qianxue put down the teacup, "Please forgive the little woman for being rude, Xiao Gongzi Lanling clan branch, father is now Emperor Pang Ai of Sui is a general next to his young son, why does Gongzi want to cooperate with a certain son?" ”
"Xiao Maha used to be the god of war in Jiangdong, but now he is already old, and he has only been reduced to taking care of the family and nursing home for the son of the Sui lord." Xiao Shiluo said bitterly, he picked up the teacup and drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, completely lacking the slightest bit of chic demeanor. "Also, Xiao Maha is not my father at all, I guess you already know this." Speaking of this, he was still indignant in his heart. Everyone in the world knows that his mother, Mrs. Xiao, had an affair with Empress Chen, and Xiao Maha defected to Sui before the battle. After Chen was destroyed, their mother and son followed Xiao Mahaxi into the customs, and their lives were quite bad. It is impossible for his mother to follow Hou Zhu Chen, and in the end she still lives with Xiao Maha. Since Xiao Shi knew a little bit about things, Xiao Maha was like a pig and a dog to their mother and son, beating and scolding them. For him, life in the Xiao family was as difficult as hell. Last year, his mother finally passed away with depression, and after Mrs. Xiao died, Xiao Maha didn't want to see this other person's wild seed again, and kicked him to his hometown in Jiangnan. He had been looking for an opportunity to take revenge on Xiao Maha, and now, there was an opportunity that he thought was good.
Rebel! If it happens, the future Xiao family will naturally be decided by him. If the matter fails, Xiao Maha's son rebels, and the nine clans are connected according to the crime, and Xiao Maha and the Xiao family will naturally die with him.
Gao Qianxue had obviously found out a little about this, otherwise, she would not have been able to casually lead Xiao Shiluo over. Seeing him say this in person, her heart was even more relaxed. If this matter is not true, Xiao Shiluo would not be able to say it in public. She said slowly, "Since that's the case, then we don't have to hide from each other." My sisters are after the Qi country, and the two are after the Chen country, and they are here today, both of them are hated by the country and the family. Nowadays, there is a great opportunity to present itself. In the past, the steppe Turks were the strongest, and Zhou Qi in the Central Plains could only compete to curry favor. Later, Zhou destroyed Qi, Yang Jian then usurped Zhou, unified the north, the national strength rose sharply, and even took advantage of the death of the Turkic Khan, and when the heir to the Khan was fighting, he combined the weak and defeated the Turks. Yang Jian is the best at scheming, usurping the throne of the nephew of the daughter of the Northern Zhou Dynasty as his ancestor, and using his power to break the Turks, and then swallowing the Western Liang and destroying the Southern Chen, which can be said to be unstoppable. Goguryeo, a tyrant in Liaodong. Since the Han and Wei dynasties, taking advantage of the hundreds of years of strife in the Central Plains, they have continued to invade and expand westward, repeatedly accepting the exiled population of the Central Plains, and their strength has grown rapidly. Up to now, Goguryeo occupies Liaoxi and Buyeo, with more than 2 million mouths and 300,000 soldiers, and is ambitious. The rapid rise of the Sui state, and even the defeat of the steppe overlord Turks, greatly shocked Goguryeo. After Zhou destroyed the Qi State, Goguryeo began to ally with Nanchen to fight against the Sui Dynasty, but unfortunately Nanchen was soon destroyed by the Sui Dynasty. After Chen's annihilation, Goguryeo began to train soldiers and horses on a large scale and garrisoned the Liaohe River. In short, the Goguryeo people are not stupid, they all understand the truth of cold lips and teeth, Sui pacified the Central Plains, and broke the Turks, and the next target is Liaodong. The current king of Goguryeo is Gao Yuan, a young and ambitious man bent on dominating the Northeast. He didn't want to sit still, but wanted to take the initiative. ”
"Your Highness's intention is that Goguryeo wants to take the initiative to attack the Sui State?"
Xiao Shiluo asked.
"That's right, Gao Yuan is ambitious, and he has not long been on the throne, and he needs a victory to consolidate and strengthen his Wang Wei. Moreover, the continuous invasion and encroachment to the west is exactly the strategy that Goguryeo has always been accustomed to. Now, Gao Yuan is actively gathering troops and horses, and will soon send troops to attack Liaoxi, as long as Liaoxi can be captured, the next step is to attack Youzhou. ”
"And what does the princess need us to do?" Xiao Shiluo said, "Or, what does Gao Yuan want us to do?" ”
"We contacted Jiangnan Haoqiang and prepared secretly. After Gao Yuan sent troops, the Sui army would inevitably transfer troops to the north, and then we would take the opportunity to raise trouble in the south of the Yangtze River. Gao Qianxue said, "The Goguryeo soldiers are strong and strong, and there are the Yan Ya, the Murwei and other joint followers, as long as they fight with the Sui army in Liaoxi, then the Turks will definitely raise troops to respond, and if we start an incident in Jiangnan, Jiangnan can be restored." As the example of Song Qi and Liang Chen, we can completely possess Jiangnan to resist Yang Sui. ”
Xiao Shi smiled slightly, before he came, he already knew Gao Qianxue's identity, and naturally knew what she was planning. The Gao family's power is in the north, or outside the Guan. They traveled thousands of miles south to the south of the Yangtze River, and they must have wanted to provoke chaos in the south of the Yangtze River in the Sui Empire to help the war in the north. However, if you don't see a rabbit or an eagle, Xiao Shiluo is not afraid of rebellion, but it doesn't mean that he wants to join Gao Qianxue's team casually. "The Gao family is the lord of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and the Chen family was also the old lord of the Southern Chen, if there is a chance, as the descendants of the two families, we should naturally try to restore the glory of the two families. His Royal Highness's mention is very good, and the two families joined forces to jointly oppose Sui. However, there is a certain mention yì, it is better to marry the two families of Gao Chen and join forces, how about it? ”
As soon as the mention of marriage came out, the Gao Qianxue sisters were a little surprised.
