Chapter 140: Joy Descends from Heaven
The carriage stopped in a remote place some distance from the city gate, and Su Muling got out of the car to say goodbye to Wei Huai'an, a noble son who had shared life and death with him. After exhorting each other a few words, Xiao Wenxuan got into Su Muling's carriage.
Wei Huai'an looked at the two people who were slowly leaving, and didn't get into the car until he couldn't see a trace in the distance.
Su Muling was silent all the way, and Xiao Wenxuan didn't say much.
The gates will soon be there. Xiao Wenxuan grabbed Su Muling's hand a little nervously, and finally confirmed:
"Ling'er, if you run away with me this time, you may never come back. We are no longer princes and princesses, and we may have to be incognito, have you thought about it? ”
Su Muling patted the brocade box full of gems that he had been holding in his arms, looked at him and said to him with a big wink of great seriousness: "This is full of silver tickets, there are millions of taels. It's a big deal that you go back to Zhen You'an, and I'll support you. ”
Xiao Wenxuan, who was full of expectations that she would be able to say a few soft words to appease his guilty heart, suddenly felt embarrassed, and it felt different to have a rich daughter-in-law.
But......
Xiao Wenxuan let go of her hand, untied the small package hidden around her waist, and stuffed it into her arms with a hint of arrogance.
"This is mine, and there is cash in the box, I am willing to be Zhen You'an, but I don't have nothing." It's with private money.
Su Muling flipped the package in his hand in surprise.
"It's so heavy, it's all silver tickets?"
She knew that the emperor treated Xiao Wenxuan well, and he always rewarded him with things when he had nothing to do, but from Xiao Wenxuan's entry into the palace to now, he couldn't escape for a few hours, how could he get so much silver and sell the things rewarded by the emperor at a low price?
Xiao Wenxuan knew that she would be surprised, so he leaned into her ear and whispered: "More than 75 million taels of silver tickets, I didn't know I was so rich." ”
After speaking, Xiao Wenxuan sat up straight and looked at Su Muling's eyes shining excitedly when he opened the package.
At the gate of the West City, the soldiers guarding the city checked the luggage and belongings on the two carriages, and asked casually: "Where are you going?" ”
"Zhenjiang Mansion." Wuying casually recited a place name.
Xiao Wenxuan was in the car and just wanted to kick him off the horse.
Zhenjiang Mansion is in the south, how can there be a reason to go to the west gate?
Fortunately, the soldiers guarding the city didn't seem to be aware of it, and saw that Su Muling and Xiao Wenxuan were dressed up well and waved them over.
Xiao Wenxuan secretly exhaled, the car had just started, and a few fast horses ran quickly from a distance, shouting all the way: "Get out of the way...... Get out of the way......" is in front of you in a blink of an eye.
Several royal forest soldiers on horseback waved their whips away the obstacles in their hands and forced Xiao Wenxuan's carriage to stop.
"It's King Ning Jun sitting in the car?"
A leader-like man asked.
Wuying did not answer, but silently pulled out the sword on his waist, as long as Xiao Wenxuan, who was sitting in the car, gave an order, he would fight to protect Su Muling's safety.
"It's the king." Xiao Wenxuan lifted the curtain and looked at the horse with cold eyes.
"The lower official was ordered to ask the king of Ningjun to stay, and the emperor's decree will arrive later."
Divine decree? Xiao Wenxuan's face sank. I want Su Muling's order that the emperor doesn't have to move the people so much, since it is an order, it is for him.
Xiao Wenxuan got up to dismount, and Su Muling on the side pulled his sleeve worriedly: "You'an......"
"It's okay, the big deal is to cut my official position and drive me out of Beijing, no matter how serious it is, it will just arrest me and send me down as the second son of King Ping. Ling'er, no matter what the result of me is, Wuying will protect you thoroughly, don't be afraid! ”
Xiao Wenxuan squeezed her little hand, and the smile on her face was very decisive.
"You'an ......"
Su Muling had tears in her eyes, looked at Xiao Wenxuan's blurred back, and then got out of the car.
"You?"
Xiao Wenxuan wanted to drive her back, but Su Muling shook his head and stubbornly held his arm and didn't let go.
"We are husband and wife, I will go wherever you go." Su Muling wiped away the tears in her eyes and stood firmly beside Xiao Wenxuan.
Seeing this, Wuying, Li Feng and Fang Ping also dismounted one after another, surrounding Xiao Wenxuan and Su Muling.
There are only these three loyal guards left by Xiao Wenxuan's side, no matter what happens to him, these three will sacrifice their lives to protect each other.
Xiao Wenxuan looked at their faces one by one, and ordered in a low voice: "No matter what the result is for me for a while, I order the three of you to protect her for the rest of her life." ”
The three of them looked at each other, all speechless.
"You'an, I won't leave you, we live and die together." Su Muling's tears couldn't help but drip down because of his words.
Xiao Wenxuan pulled her hand tightly in pain......
In less than a quarter of an hour, another group of people came in a mighty manner, led by Lord Li of Hanlin Chengzhi.
When the team arrived, everyone dismounted, and Lord Li and everyone saluted Xiao Wenxuan first, and then took out the holy decree and cleared his throat: "Xiao Wenxuan, the king of Ningjun, listens to the decree!" ”
Xiao Wenxuan, Su Muling and others knelt on the ground, and the people who went out of the city and entered the city nearby also knelt on the ground in fear.
Master Li read aloud:
"Fengtian carried the emperor's edict and said:
Xiao Wenxuan, the king of Ningjun, is a good man in the country, and has made great achievements in capturing the rebels.
Today, Xiao Wenxuan, the king of Ningjun, is crowned as the prince of Ning, and he is awarded the treasure, and he will never be replaced...... Chinchi! ”
After reading it, Master Li closed the holy decree and handed it to Xiao Wenxuan with his own hands. Xiao Wenxuan didn't understand the emperor's intention for a while, and named him a prince, why did he do it at this time?
Master Li didn't allow him to think about it, and took out another holy decree: "Su Muling listens to the decree!" ”
The one who should come will always come, and after making Xiao Wenxuan the prince, the next step should be to give himself a place for the future princess.
Su Muling tried to stay calm, but she couldn't help but breathe heavily, and her whole body was cold.
……
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said. Su Muling, the daughter of the Songjiang family, is skillful and generous, gentle and generous, and has outstanding appearance. Prince Jinning is over the age of weak crown, and when he is suitable for marriage...... The daughter of the Su family, Mu Lingxu, was matched with Prince Ning as the princess. All etiquette will be handled jointly by the Ministry of Rites and the Qintian Supervisor, and the marriage will be completed on a good day. Chin this! ”
Su Muling almost couldn't believe her ears, she turned her head to look at Xiao Wenxuan.
Xiao Wenxuan was also shocked, and pinched his arm hard...... It's true, the emperor didn't want to kill them, the emperor actually agreed to accept Su Muling and give them a marriage!
The two men looked at each other silently, their eyes sparkling.
"Ling'er, you are my princess." Rightly so.
Xiao Wenxuan hugged her tightly in his arms. I secretly swore in my heart that when I went back, I would go to Weiwuhou to pull Wei Huaian out and beat him up. Just because of his words, Xiao Wenxuan and Su Muling were like frightened birds, they didn't even want home, they almost missed the marriage, and almost lived a life of escape.
"Prince and Princess Ning, take the order."
Seeing that the two of them were hugging each other as if no one was around, Master Li didn't pay attention to the fact that he was holding a holy decree waiting for her to pick it up, and reminded Su Muling in a low voice.
Su Muling broke out of Xiao Wenxuan's embrace, raised his hands above his head, and made a holy decree: "Thank the emperor for Longen!" "It's a heartfelt thank you
"Okay, the ministers also wish Prince Ning and Princess Ning a hundred years of happiness."
"I wish Prince Ning, Prince Ning and Princess Ning a good time for a hundred years."
Master Li breathed a sigh of relief, these were the two most tiring decrees he had been ordered to proclaim. Chased from Ningjun Wangfu to Baihua Lane Su Mansion, and from Su Mansion all the way to the city gate, I almost couldn't find anyone to pay off.
"Great work, sir!" Xiao Wenxuan thanked him politely.
"Prince Ning is polite, on the day of Prince Ning's wedding, the lower officials still have to go to ask for a cup of wine."
"Glad to be!"
Master Li took the people away. It was rare for the people at the city gate to see such a holy decree, and they were so excited that they congratulated Xiao Wenxuan and Su Muling.
Su Muling's heart was filled with happiness at this time, and she couldn't suppress the joy in her heart and thanked loudly:
"Thank you for the blessings of the old folks present, Prince Ning and I will definitely grow old together. Cherish the spring, bring the money bag. ”
"Yes."
Xichun is also excited, her eyes are shining, and her cheeks are red. She returned to the car and brought a large bag of copper plates, untied the bag and handed it to Su Muling.
Su Muling happily picked up a handful of copper plates from his money bag and raised them in front of everyone.
One by one, the copper coins hit each other in the midsummer sunshine, and ran towards everyone with a crisp sound...... The princess handed out the money on the spot, and all the people who went out of the city and entered the city squatted down and happily picked it up.
After Su Muling finished raising one bag, he ordered Xichun to take out the other bag of broken silver. The silver fell from heaven and fell on the heads of the people, and their bodies were painful and happy. Everyone present more or less picked up broken silver of different sizes, and was happy as if it were a New Year.
……
"Yunnan County King, aren't you going to join in the fun?"
Not far away, Zhou Falcon and a team of men were releasing Shi Tianyi, Lu Qiaohui and his subordinates from the dungeon at the city gate. Before I got in the car, I saw the scene of Su Muling throwing money.
Shi Tianyi glared at Zhou Ying fiercely and walked towards the carriage parked on the side of the road.
Fang Ping's eyes were sharp, and when he saw Shi Tianyi helping Lu Qiaohui to get into the car, he called out with a wicked smile: "Yo! Isn't this the king of Yunnan? Came out? Why don't you take the initiative to say hello to our prince? It seems that the king of Yunnan County has not been in prison enough. ”
Shi Tianyi's face was pale, how could he meet this group of people who were haunting everywhere? He wanted to get in the car and leave, but he was afraid that someone would join him again.
As a last resort, he took Lu Qiaohui to Xiao Wenxuan and saluted reluctantly: "I've seen the King of Ningjun and the Princess of Ningjun." ”
Lu Qiaohui and his subordinates knelt on the ground. But for a long time, no one called them up.
Shi Tianyi's already suppressed anger couldn't help but rush to the old high, he raised his head and just wanted to leave, when he heard an old man who was picking up money correcting him loudly:
"Wrong, it's not the king of the county, it's the prince of Ning."
"If you want to pick up money, you don't even know who they are, it's ridiculous."
"Listen to his accent from out of town, right?"
"If you come from other places, you can be forgiven if you don't know."
…… Everyone, you say a word, Shi Tianyi only then knew that he had been in the dungeon of the city gate for two days, and Xiao Wenxuan became the king of Ningjun and became the prince of Ning.
Originally, there were two county kings, one was a royal family, and the other was a different surname, so there was a difference in rank. It's good now, Xiao Wenxuan has become a prince, don't worry about it, kneel.
Shi Tianyi gritted his teeth and knelt down.
"I've seen Prince Ning."
Shi Tianyi waited for Xiao Wenxuan to call him up, but half a day passed, and Xiao Wenxuan still didn't move.
Shi Tianyi was so angry that his eyes were full of stars, and he didn't sleep well for a day and a night, he shook and almost fainted.
"The king of Yunnan County, and the princess of Ning, the emperor has just decreed marriage!"
Fang Ping reminded him 'kindly'.
