Han Jian thought about it, since Zhu Tongjing dared to come to Jiangdu, and said this to him in front of him, it showed that Zhu Tongjing had a certain degree of confidence that he could move him. In the current situation, an alliance between the two countries may be the best solution to Jiangdu's predicament. Jiangdu is backed by the abundant manpower and material resources of the Qi Dynasty, so he basically does not have to worry about the southern invasion of Luoyang and the Northern King forces.

But the problem is that the Southern Qi will not lightly agree to an alliance, which is not in their interests. And Jiangdu can't casually agree to an alliance with Nanqi, because Nanqi may be a wolf's ambition itself, which is to take Jiangdu first and then enter the Central Plains.

What Zhu Tongjing proposed was not an alliance, but to let Jiangdu belong to Southern Qi. Because without the support of Nanqi, it was very difficult for Jiang Du to win the confrontation with Luoyang for power, especially when Nanqi was behind the scenes. Once Jiangdu falls into the front, there are wolves and tigers in the back, even with the full support of the Nanwang Mansion, it will not last long. What's worse is that Yang Luochuan, the king of the south, is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he will not sit idly by and watch Jiangdu become bigger, and he will not fully support Jiangdu.

"What is the East King thinking?" After the two were silent for a while, Zhu Tongjing asked with a smile.

"If I, Jiangdu, send an envoy to Jinling and say such a thing to Master Zhu, how should Master Zhu respond?" Han Jian said.

Zhu Tongjing was not angry, but pretended to be serious, thought about it seriously, and said: "In the next meeting, if my Qi Dynasty is really trying to survive in the cracks, and it is not guaranteed, I will naturally seriously consider the opinions of the envoys, and I will discuss with His Majesty and the Queen Mother whether the matter of annexation is feasible." Dongwang, what do you think? ”

Han Jian said: "Master Zhu, is this pointing out a clear path? ”

Zhu Tongjing smiled and said: "Dongwang said that he was joking, but this is not a black road, is it?" ”

"Master Zhu is kind. In the lower heart. Today, I am getting married, and I don't want to delay the auspicious time, so please move to the East Palace. ”

After Han Jian finished speaking, he didn't say anything more and went straight downstairs. For him, now is not the time to say these words, as the lord of Jiangdu, he also bears the heavy responsibility of recovering Luoyang, and sometimes he really can't be too emotional. What Zhu Tongjing mentioned to him is just as Zhu Tongjing mentioned. It's not a black road. If Jiang Du was under the attack of Luoyang and the forces of the Northern King, and did not receive much assistance from Yuzhou, it seemed that there was no more way than to temporarily attach himself to the Qi Dynasty.

Return to the East Palace. The procession is ready. And several of Han Jian's aunts were also dressed in fancy clothes and waiting for Han Jian to appear.

Han Jian returned. Han Cui's and Han Xu's greeted them, and when they saw Han Jian's solemn expression, they also knew that something was happening.

"Athletes. How did you come back? The Ministry of Rites has already sent someone to urge, and if you don't set off, you will miss the auspicious time. Han Cuishi said.

Han Jian thought to himself, many officials in the imperial court are now free, and those in the Ministry of Rites don't have to be responsible for sacrifices and good things on weekdays

"Hmm." Han Jian nodded, "What about Erniang?" ”

"Your second mother went to the palace of His Majesty." Han Cuishi glanced at Han Xu and said, "It's not good for you to get married for such a big thing, it's not good to go to His Majesty's side to ask for your will." ”

Han Jian nodded, he understood what Han Xu meant, although the empress was not there now, but in order to hide people's eyes, he still had to do the same as the empress.

Han Xu said again: "Tomorrow, you still have to take the newlywed princess of the East to see Your Majesty, don't forget." ”

Since the empress is here, it is also appropriate to take the princess of the east to see the empress. However, Han Jian was a little entangled in the question of who to bring, Yang Li'er and Gu Xin'er were both married back by his Ming Media, and it was the rule to take Gu Xin'er there. can leave Yang Li'er, Han Jian always feels that he owes Yang Li'er something.

The wedding went on as usual and the guests were almost there. Han Jian also embarked on the road to welcome his relatives.

Welcoming relatives in the East Palace, it is a first-class event in Jiangdu, martial law has been imposed all the way, and the soldiers escorted Han Jian all the way to the direction of the new Gu Mansion. Fortunately, the Dongwang Mansion is not far from the Gu Mansion, and it has not had much impact on the people's travel.

Before arriving at Gu's house, firecrackers rang out, Gu Xin'er was dressed in a red wedding dress, covered her head, and walked to the door with the support of the matchmaker and her mother Gu Songshi, who had temporarily found a full number, and entered the sedan chair with a short body.

After the kiss, the blowing and blowing officially began. Along the way, the people came to watch, and some wanted to ask for some rewards. The Dongwang Mansion had already made preparations for Han Jian's wedding on the way, sprinkling copper plates and even finely broken silver taels along the way, and many children jumped out of the cracks of the soldiers, and then they would be dragged back.

It was very lively all the way, and as the procession marched, the crowd of onlookers behind was also following, so that wherever the greeting procession went, it was surrounded by crowds.

Faced with this situation, Han Jian was a little worried. Because of the enthusiasm of the people in the Dongwang Mansion, the Dongwang Mansion did not intend to drive away the onlookers, but there were too many people this time, which not only affected his welcome, but if the assassins were mixed in, it would endanger the safety of him and Gu Xin'er.

Han Jian was thinking about it, when he suddenly felt an eerie murderous aura approaching, and this murderous aura seemed to have been hidden for a long time.

When Han Jian reacted and looked around, the murderous aura had already surrounded Han Jian from all directions.

"Be careful!" Han Jian shouted violently, and the small arrows around him were already shooting around Han Jian like rain. Han Jian turned over and dismounted, first dodging some small arrows that came at him, and then hiding behind the horse's belly, using the horse's body to resist the next batch of arrows.

As soon as Han Jian landed on the ground, his body stabilized, and the second batch of small arrows shot like rain.

As the horses fell to the ground, and then the onlookers fell with arrows, the whole scene was in chaos. was originally a lively and festive welcoming procession, but for a while it became like a turtle in an urn, and was beaten as an arrow target.

Han Jian was in the middle of an open road, there was no place to cover except the horse's belly, if he continued like this, no matter how fast he reacted, he would be shot into a hornet's nest by small arrows. Han Jian didn't care about who was going to kill him at this time, the most important thing for him at the moment was to save his life. At this time, what he has to do is to find something to cover his body first.

Han Jian's martial arts have not been wasted over the years, but he has not advanced or retreated. In the face of the siege of so many small arrows, he could only dodge by feeling, and before he could take a few steps, he felt a pain in his leg, and his calf was shot by small arrows. Han Jian was in pain, and he didn't walk as fast as before.

"Protect the prince!"

The soldiers who escorted came from all sides, thinking that they had shields to protect Han Jian, but because there were many small arrows and they came from all directions, it was difficult to dodge, and many soldiers were also shot and fell. By this time, Han Jianjian was already lying around people who had been hit by arrows, either unable to move, or had died, and the entire street was as tragic as hell as a nose, and blood could be seen everywhere as far as the eye could see.

Soon, the soldiers poured into the surrounding buildings, and then the number of small arrows dropped sharply, and Han Jian was able to parry the arrows that came from him with his sword. Han Jian was hit by an arrow in his leg and had difficulty moving, but he still fought and retreated, originally he wanted to get close to Gu Xin'er's sedan chair, but he also understood that it was he who these assassins wanted to kill, and most of the small arrows were shot at him, and he went to Gu Xin'er's side not only could not relieve Gu Xin'er's difficulties, but would bring danger to Gu Xin'er.

Han Jian had no choice but to temporarily dodge behind the wooden plank of a stall next door, using the wooden plank as a cover to resist the small arrows.

The plank was not too high, Han Jian was injured in his leg, and it was too difficult to squat, so he simply sat on the ground with his butt and tried to pull out the small arrow.

As soon as Han Jian sat down, he felt that someone was coming, Han Jian lifted his sword and was about to stab it, but he heard a "dang long", Han Jian's long sword intersected with the blade of the comer, Han Jian suffered a pain, and the long sword also fell to the ground.

"What for?" The person who came shouted coquettishly, but it was not a killer, but Ke Qu'er, whom Han Jian had not seen for many days.

At this time, Ke Qu'er was just dressed as an ordinary peasant woman, and this kind of dress would not be too eye-catching in the crowd, and she still wrapped her head in a headscarf, and she couldn't help but come if she didn't distinguish it seriously.

"Is that you?" Han Jian was angry at first, originally he thought that Ke Qu'er was looking for someone to shoot arrows to assassinate him. But when you think about it, it's unlikely, even if Ke Qu'er's master, Zuo Gu, wants to kill him, with Ke Qu'er's stupid appearance, he will definitely stop him.

"What is me?" Ke Qu'er frowned, looked at the small arrow on Han Jian's leg, and the unbearable look on his face rose, "Are you injured?" ”

With that, Ke Qu'er squatted down and also went behind the plank, wanting to get close to Han Jian, but Han Jian motioned to her not to get too close.

Ke Qu'er looked at Han Jian with an aggrieved face, Han Jian first turned his head and looked outside, although he was hiding from the wolf, but when he was saving his life, he couldn't care about anything else. It's also worth it to be alive and more wolf.

At this time, the small arrows outside were no longer fired, but the fighting in the surrounding buildings was continuing. Han Jian looked at it, and no one else came, so he relaxed a little, turned his head to look at Ke Qu'er, and asked, "Who is coming to kill me?" ”

"I don't know." Ke Qu'er pouted and said, as if she was a little annoyed, "I don't know the hearts of good people, I came to save you, how did you make it look like I came to kill you?" If I kill you, I'll come to your aid? ”

Han Jian sighed, stretched out his hand and touched Ke Qu'er's face, Ke Qu'er's face still did not improve, and she looked angry.

Han Jian knew that girls had to coax when they played with children's tempers, and it was useless to talk too much at this time. pulled Ke Qu'er over and let Ke Qu'er get closer to him, and slowly, the look on Ke Qu'er's face relaxed.

After a short time, the fighting outside was basically over. Han Jian hurriedly struggled, he wanted to go over to see Gu Xin'er's situation, today was his big day, but he saw red on the big day, which was a bad omen, but he was not a stubborn person, at this time he was more concerned about whether Gu Xin'er was hit by an arrow.

Han Jian limped forward step by step, and behind him Ke Qu'er shouted, "Where are you going?" ”

"You wait!" Han Jian didn't look back, just pointed back in Ke Qu'er's direction with his hand, "I'll talk about it later." (To be continued......)
