Chapter 272: Homecoming
"Ahead, is it the Snow Customs?"
Xiong Liqing lifted the curtain and looked ahead, where there was a majestic mountain rising.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Snow Pass is much more majestic and towering than the Zhennan Pass, after all, this pass was established by the Jin people in order to defend against the wild people, and the wild people are the main goal of the Jin Marquis to enter the land of the Three Jin Dynasty with the Great Summer Order.
The majestic Xiongguan represents not only a defensive role, but also a totemic symbol of the Jin people's expulsion of the savages and the development of the land of the Three Jins.
Of course, no matter how magnificent the long history, it is inevitable that the rain and wind will blow away, this Xiongguan was first broken by savages, and now, the city wall has been covered with the banner of the Great Yan Black Dragon.
"Yes, Snow Customs." Siniang, who was leaning on the wall of the car, replied.
After joining up with the Marquis of Jingnan, Uncle Zheng also followed the Marquis of Jingnan back to Fengxincheng for a period of time, because at that time, there was already a message from the sentinel that a group of soldiers and horses that had entered Chu had returned from the branch basin of the lower reaches of the Wangjiang River.
Waiting for it, it was indeed Siniang and Ah Ming.
Siniang and Ah Ming both have injuries on their bodies, Siniang is better, but the injuries are dark and need time to recuperate, Ah Ming has fallen asleep in the coffin, Uncle Zheng has been to see it, in addition to the lips are still a little ruddy, the rest of the body has shown a white with twenty layers of pearl powder.
Because on the way to escape, there was a Qu family who was good at tracking the enshrinement up, Ah Ming chose to break alone, and finally was besieged by a few worshippers who followed up, and after delaying enough time for the large army, Ah Ming chose to jump off the cliff to break through.
A......... Except for Ah Ming, no one else can imitate the breakthrough method.
This also makes Ah Ming become like this now, in Siniang's words, there is only a thin layer of blood skin left.
This needs to be recuperated for a long time to recover, and every other three days, Ah Ming has to pour some blood on his body like planting succulents.
As for the others, at least the part where Siniang and Ah Ming are located, the casualties are not very large, to be exact, except for dozens of knights who took the initiative to sacrifice in order to intercept the pursuers, the rest of the sporadic casualties are the kind that accidentally fell off the cliff while walking on the mountain road.
And people like Chen Daxia, Zhao Gonggong, He Chunlai, Chen Daole, etc., are also on the way.
There are two reasons why this road has been greatly preserved;
First, Mr. Su Mingzhe, who was impersonated by Uncle Zheng before, overcame the disease caused by the lack of adaptation to the soil and water in the border towns of Chu State, and knew that he would not be able to catch up with the princess's wedding, so he would not rush it, anyway, Yao Zizhan's letter had already been conveyed by Chen Daxia.
Therefore, this genuine Mr. Su Mingzhe began to show his talent in that town, because Yao Shi's name is too loud, not only in the Qianguo, but also in the three eastern countries, in fact, there is no shortage of admirers of Yao Shi's poetry, as for those nobles or gentry who do not know how to write and ink, they are even more enthusiastic about this.
It is said that when Yao Zizhan was young, he was in the Rouge Lane in the south of the Yangtze River, indulging in three months, without spending a penny, and when he finally came out, he was still holding a box of gold, silver and jade, which was rumored to be a beautiful talk by the world;
And Mr. Su was in the city called Dazhou, first famous for his poetry and writing, and then accepted two concubines from noble backgrounds.
Although the two nobles are not comparable to the Qu family, but to be able to make the two nobles have a daughter or be a concubine at the same time, Mr. Su can be described as proud.
Therefore, in fact, when Uncle Zheng pretended to be Su Mingzhe to make a big deal at the princess's wedding, this Mr. Su Mingzhe was not to be outdone in Dazhou.
Later, there was a road of soldiers and horses chasing over, and was directly attracted by the real Mr. Su Mingzhe, this is the earliest pursuit of soldiers and horses, and their contact with the back is naturally not timely, so after learning that there are signs of "Mr. Su" being active in Dazhou, they went directly to Dazhou, and the first chasing soldiers and horses were attracted away, which was regarded as giving Siniang the way to go back to Mengshan to relieve the greatest pressure.
There is another reason, and that is San'er.
San'er led a few hundred cavalry to follow the predetermined plan to go to Qishan, the Qishan mountain range is very long, part of the northern section of Qishan is close to the border between Liang and Zhao, and part of the southern section is bordering Qianguo.
Xue San wanted to go back to Jindi in Qishan, so he naturally took the northern section.
Coincidentally, Liang Guoyue had just had a palace coup d'Γ©tat before, in the name of the lord of the country insulting the concubine of the former lord of the country, the brother of the lord of Liang organized the participation of the lord of the country, and led a group of soldiers into the palace to hijack the lord of the country and force the lord to abdicate, and the brother of the original lord succeeded to the new lord of Liang.
The reason for the coup d'Γ©tat is this, but whether it is really because of this, and whether the former lord really did such a deceitful thing, no one knows for the time being, because the former lord hanged himself on the third day of abdication.
But the biological mother of the original lord of the country is a lord of the Chu State, although she is not the princess of the Chu State, but she is also a child of the royal family, that is to say, the original lord of the country has the blood of the royal family of the Chu State.
In fact, at the junction of the three kingdoms of Qian, Chu, and Jin, there are many small countries, and the three major powers regard this as a kind of strategic buffer zone, at most to support, infiltrate, and secretly manipulate, and do not really send a large army to conquer, because this is very likely to trigger a direct conflict between the three powers.
And these small countries, internally, will crusade against each other and annex each other, and externally, they will be like grass on the wall, swaying in the wind between the big countries.
At that time, the Jingnan Hou Zhenbei Army Jingnan Army Iron Cavalry borrowed the road to attack the Jin Dynasty, and after leaving the Qianguo, it was actually borrowed from the border of two small countries, of course, this was arranged in advance, so there was a later Jin Emperor from the opening of the Tianmen Pass to lead the Yan army into the Jin Dynasty.
And the Liang State is close to the side of the Chu State, and the national tendencies of the two countries can be seen from the royal blood of the Chu State on the original lord, but there is no way, the coup has happened, the original lord is also dead, and the new lord is the younger brother of the original lord, but he was not born by a mother, so after sitting on the throne of the lord, he panicked.
Immediately, together with Xiangguo, he sent an envoy to Chu to explain:
First, our coup d'Γ©tat is because the original lord of the country is so ridiculous and unreasonable, that he even dares to insult the concubines left by his father, which is simply inferior to beasts!
Second, our Liang State is still a vassal of Chu State, and only Chu State is the first to look forward;
Third, can Chu Guo marry a clan daughter again, I also want to be the son-in-law of Chu State.
Of course, the new lord and Xiangguo didn't have a single mind to wait stupidly, what if Chu Guo got angry and didn't forgive himself and others for sending troops to fight?
Therefore, after they sent messengers, they began to gather the national soldiers and horses of the Liang State, and the original national soldiers and horses of the Liang State, that is, the regular army, were only 15,000, not to mention compared with the Chu State, even a Qu clan under the Chu State could easily send the Qingluan Army to pinch it to death.
And then
Just continue to wait very painfully.
Coincidentally, at this time, Xue San led the Chu army with hundreds of cavalry, and Xue San directly drilled into the Qi Mountain, and the Chu army naturally couldn't let them go, and they also followed.
As soon as they got the news from the front that the figure of the Chu army appeared in the Qishan Mountain Range, they immediately preconceived that this was the Chu State coming to crusade against the Liang State.
Not to mention, although Liang is a small country, these two are indeed actioners, and they are also radicals, they did not go to passive defense, but chose to take the initiative.
The new lord of the country drove the expedition in person, and Xiangguo was responsible for managing the rear, and the original more than 10,000 regular troops plus the auxiliary militia of Liang State who were temporarily recruited and sent out, barely managed to make up a number of 30,000, which is all the foundation of Liang State.
The thousands of Chu troops who were chasing Xue San, they didn't expect that there were ambushes here, and they went directly into the pockets arranged by the Liang State, and when they were caught off guard, the Chu army was defeated, and the new lord won the first victory in the Great Patriotic War!
Not to mention the Chu people, even Xue San was stunned, Xue San's first reaction was:, is the Fan family so, can they control other people's state power?
Therefore, Xue San, who thought it was his own people, sent someone to contact the soldiers and horses of Liang Guo opposite, and then quickly met with the new lord of Liang Guo.
And then
The new lord, who had just been immersed in the great victory, froze after learning the truth.
he
What did he do!
Originally, he could choose to help the Chu army block Xue San and his party, even if it was a great achievement, and when the time came, the Chu State would recognize his "superiority" if he couldn't say it.
But now......
Now it is pointless to arrest Xue San and them again, because they have already taken the initiative to start a war.
But
In the end, the doers are the doers.
The new lord immediately expressed to Xue San that he was willing to "abandon the darkness and turn to the light" and follow Dayan.
meantime
After learning of this, Xiangguo in the rear was not ambiguous, and immediately sent an envoy to the south gate of Jindi to contact the Yan army over there.
So, things unfolded in this extremely strange and unexpected way, the Chu army began to gather forces on the side of the Qishan Mountain Range, and in their opinion, the Liang State was reversed, and even the princess may have entered the Liang State.
And Liang is a small country, in the end it is also a country, wearing tens of thousands of armor, so the Chu army that came to pursue in the follow-up had to change its plan and began to assemble here, and all kinds of soldiers and horses on the border of Chu were also transferred, and the Qu family, whose fief was close to this section of the border, also sent a Qingluan army to join the battle to pacify Liang.
This undoubtedly relieved Siniang of their huge pressure, so Siniang and their part were able to be preserved to such a large extent and came back under Ruan San's response.
As for Xue San,
The military intelligence report from Nanmen Pass reported that Xue San was worshiped as a general by the new lord and was helping Liang to defend against Chu.
Yan Guo does not have the saying that "although he wins, he must be killed", and he has no reason to be afraid of war, it is one thing to not want to fight, but he is never afraid of war.
In addition, Uncle Zheng's entry into Chu was forced by the Marquis of Jingnan, no matter what happened, Tian Wujing would not blame him, and he would go to the bottom.
Therefore, with the military order of the Marquis of Jingnan, the Yan garrisons of Quhe City and Litian City quickly divided a part to assemble at the South Gate Pass, and the original South Gate Pass garrison divided thousands of horses into the Liang State to help in the war.
When San'er will come back, Uncle Zheng doesn't know, anyway, he will leave to return to the Snow Customs immediately after receiving Siniang and his party.
On this day,
In the admiration of the princess,
Snow Customs,
It's here!
Before, when Uncle Zheng and the princess had just entered the Jingnan Hou Military Village, he had already ordered someone to report back, so at this time, the soldiers and civilians of the Snow Customs already knew that their uncle personally went to Chu State to abduct a genuine princess and came back.
You must know that the people of Yandi were crazy with joy after learning the news, as if they were celebrating a festival, not to mention the soldiers and civilians of the Snow Customs.
Under the city gate, the people rushed to greet their uncle, which can be described as a sea of people.
Uncle Zheng did not take the carriage, but rode a horse to the front.
After seeing his own marquis,
The people on both sides of the official road, men and women, young and old, all knelt down and shouted in unison:
"Uncle Chitose, Uncle is mighty!"
"Uncle Chitose, Uncle is mighty!"
Inside the carriage, Xiong Lijing was a little shocked, and said with emotion: "He seems to be very loved." β
Siniang, who was sitting next to her, said:
"Because he has the grace of life to the people here."
The eyes of the masses are clear, and they know who they are now relying on to survive, who they rely on to not be bullied, and who they rely on to survive this difficult winter.
Winter has passed, but in this winter, inside and outside the snow customs, there are people who have fallen ill and died, and there are those who have drunk too much and died in the ice holes, but none of them have starved to death or froze to death.
This is a difficult thing to do even in a peaceful situation, but here, in this snow customs, which was poor and white because of the war a year ago, has been realized.
Uncle Zheng pulled out his knife and raised it high.
The people of the Snow Customs know how to cooperate with their own uncle, and their own uncle also likes to cooperate with them.
Therefore, after this action, the voice of the people is even more enthusiastic!
Uncle Zheng held up the knife,
Take a long sigh of relief,
Since entering Chu,
He's been very insecure.
Someone else's territory, someone else's soldiers,
But now,
He went home,
Over here
He's safe!
There is no need to worry about attacking from other places, because under his command, there are snow sea iron horses, and a group of people who are willing to fight for him;
Don't worry about any strange master to assassinate him, because there is Shatuo Que Stone lying under his house, although he has not yet woken up, and there is a Sword Saint living next door to his house, although it has not yet recovered, but it is enough to reassure Uncle Zheng.
Over here
It's a home he has carefully run,
No
is his,
Nest!
β¦β¦
After entering the city, this way, those who should go to the barracks will go to the barracks, and those who should go home will go home.
The rest of the people took the carriage directly into the Earl's Palace.
The carriage stopped in the courtyard of the Earl's Court,
Gonggong Zhao, who had not forgotten his own work, immediately got off the horse next to him and came to the carriage, ready to help Her Royal Highness the princess get out of the carriage.
Regardless of what Uncle Zheng said about whether the work below him can grow again, Gonggong Zhao knows that he is still a princess.
And also
I don't know if it's because I've gotten used to it for so long after castration,
Or after witnessing Qu Peiluo's tragic experience up close,
Zhao Gonggong suddenly felt,
It doesn't seem interesting to be a man.
Besides, the bottom is clean and clean, and the life seems to be quite comfortable, and there are a lot of worries and sorrows.
Xiong Lijing lifted the curtain of the car,
didn't take Zhao's father-in-law's hand, but turned around and took the initiative to help Siniang get out of the carriage.
"Sister be careful, this step is a bit high, four minions, don't kneel down yet!"
Zhao Cheng understood, and immediately prostrated on the ground, and asked the princess to support Siniang and step on his back to get out of the carriage.
"My sister is tired, my sister will help my sister to rest first."
Since she met Siniang, the princess instantly put her posture very low, she is very smart, and smart people have a characteristic, that is, they are self-aware.
Siniang reached out and patted the back of Xiong Liqing's hand, shook her head slightly, and said, "Don't worry." β
It's really not in a hurry,
Because in front of them stood Liang Cheng, the blind man, and Fan Li.
The three of them walked towards Zheng Fan and worshiped together:
"Congratulations on the triumph of the Lord!"
"Congratulations on the triumph of the Lord!"
Zheng Fan nodded, stretched, and said, "I'm finally back, it's better to be at home, next time, no matter who calls me, I won't go out." β
Every time I come back from a long trip, I feel that my home is so fragrant, and I feel that I don't want to go out again in my life.
The princess leaned slightly against Siniang, and whispered softly to Siniang:
"Sister, I want to see Pixiu."
Pixiu,
The totem of Dayan!
Moreover, it is a living totem!
The Imperial Beast Supervisor of the Chu Royal Family is also good at raising demon beasts, and the essence blood of the fire phoenix is even more attractive to demon beasts, but after all, the fire phoenix has long been extinct.
And Yan Guo has been successfully continuing the bloodline of Pixiu from generation to generation.
Although, nine out of nine are Pixiu beasts, and there are very few Pixiu.
There are four known Pixiu in the world, one is in Zhenbei Hou, one is in Jingnanhou, one is in the eldest prince, and one is here in Zheng Fan.
It is said that Zheng Fan's head was asked by the Marquis of Jingnan to help Zheng Fan directly with the imperial court, and at that time, in order to make the Marquis of Jingnan agree to take command of the Eastern Expedition, even the eunuchs who announced the decree had already killed the two, and after the Marquis of Jingnan made this request, the imperial court immediately approved it.
When Siniang heard this, she smiled slightly and said, "Lord, my sister wants to see Pixiu." β
Siniang is very beautiful now, this princess is very smart and interesting, she is a piece of jade, and it is worth training well;
If it's really a fool, even if it's a princess, Siniang probably doesn't have the interest to toss, and she can't get feedback if she doesn't have a sense of accomplishment, right?
It's just that Siniang has an injury on her body now, and it's not too late to train when the injury is healed.
When Zheng Fan heard this, he asked, "What about that guy?" β
It seemed to hear Zheng Fan's call, and the pixiu immediately ran out of the backyard, and when it first arrived in Zheng Fan's hands, it was still a minor, and it hadn't seen it for a few months, and it was strong again.
It also misses Zheng Fan, but it is also grown up now, not as ignorant as it was at the beginning, at the earliest, it regarded Zheng Fan as a "poor man and beast" who sank under the clutches of the demon king like himself.
Now, it's in a position to put itself in the right place.
"Wow."
When the princess saw Pixiu, she couldn't help but greet her.
Pixiu is not a pet, it has a temper, but it is not stupid in the end, and it can be seen that the relationship between this woman and Zheng Fan can be seen, so although she did not cater to her, she did not refuse her to come over and stroke her mane.
Well?
was touched a few times,
Pixiu suddenly lowered its head in confusion, it smelled a breath of disgust on this girl, but it wanted to get close to it.
disgust is the rejection of the fire phoenix from the depths of Pixiu's blood;
They are close because they are actually of the same kind.
Then
Jiang Hu and Gongsun Ling also entered the mansion with the green python, and when they entered the city, the two of them took the green python behind.
Fortunately, the people of the Snow Customs are also surprised, because the Tianduan Mountain Range in Jindi is rich in demon beasts, and the people are also immune to these demon beasts.
In addition, his uncle often rode Pixiu in and out in the past, so the green python entered the city and did not cause panic.
Since the princess is going to live in the Earl's Palace, this green python will definitely live in it as well, and Uncle Zheng doesn't mind having one more guard in his house.
But
Some accounts,
Yes, it has to be counted,
Uncle Zheng has never been a generous person, on the contrary, he is actually very small-bellied.
He remembered that this green python had expressed disdain for himself every time since they met for the first time.
When Jiang Hu saw Pixiu, his face immediately showed a look of longing, as a person from the Imperial Beast Prison, he naturally had an instinctive fanaticism for this top species in the world, just like a swordsman seeing a peerless sword spectrum.
And after the green python saw Pixiu, he immediately prostrated his head down, which directly chose to surrender to Pixiu and did not dare to fight with it.
Of course, if the princess forcibly ordered it, it would still go to war with Pixiu, but it wasn't that time.
Uncle Zheng glanced at Liang Cheng,
Very unceremoniously and directly reported to the small report:
"This thing has been looking down on me on the road."
Liang Cheng Huiyi,
Towards the green python,
Although he, a big zombie, feels a little embarrassed to appear for this kind of thing,
But since it is the Lord's request, then it will be satisfied.
came along, as well as Fan Li.
soon
Liang Cheng and Fan Li stood in front of the green python,
The green python also looked at these two people with some suspicion, because they cut off Pixiu's sight, so the green python's snake eyes once again appeared with coldness and contempt.
And then
Liang Cheng's eyes began to glow green, and his fangs were exposed, revealing the bloodline aura of the ancient zombies!
Fan Li also hit his chest with both fists, letting out a low roar, and the breath of brute was revealed!
on the edge,
Pixiu, who was being stroked by the princess, saw this scene,
There was a look of schadenfreude in his eyes.
It's a horrific scene he's ever experienced, and now, it's time for you!
"............" green python.
This green python, the body was directly frightened and straightened, and the body was even skinned, which was so frightened that it was about to molt!
The princess turned her head, seeing that her green python was scared like this, hesitated for a moment, and didn't say anything, her man wanted to be angry, she naturally had to look towards her man and not towards a beast.
And at this time,
Liang Cheng and Fan Li also returned to their original state, turned around, and walked back, as if nothing had happened.
Uncle Zheng walked in front of the green python,
In the eyes of the green python at this time, in addition to fear or fear, this fear is several times more than when I saw Pixiu before!
No
It's not comparable at all!
"Are you crazy?"
"Bang!"
Uncle Zheng went up and kicked the green python.
"What are you doing?"
"Bang!" Another kick.
"You're amazing, aren't you?"
"Bang!"
I didn't kick it very hard, just just to vent it.
"Tsk, it's really disgusting to molt at this time, by the way, I heard that snake skin seems to be Chinese medicine, right? I'll have someone from the pharmacy pick it up later. β
"Yes, Lord." The blind man wrote it down.
Siniang said to the princess: "Sister, I'll take you around the mansion, there are some places in this mansion, there are some people, you have to see it." β
"Okay, sister, there's Sister Lao."
Every time I look at Xiong Lijing and Siniang "respecting each other like guests",
Uncle Zheng always felt that he seemed to be the superfluous one.
However, men don't seem to be so repulsive to their other half as Lala, after all, they can dream of killing two birds with one stone.
Uncle Zheng,
Well
I can see it open, too.
"Alright, let's get busy, I'll take a shower first, blind man, let's have a meeting after dinner."
"Yes, Lord."
Uncle Zheng left everyone and went to the backyard, where he still felt extremely safe.
Because I knew that my uncle was coming back today, the soup pool in the backyard bedroom was filled with water early, and the water temperature was just right.
Uncle Zheng took off his clothes,
Walk into the pool,
I was thinking of throwing the magic pill in together, and the father and son had a personal bath,
Who knew that as soon as the demon pill was thrown out, it flew out with a "whoosh", obviously looking for Tiantian.
Uncle Zheng only remembered that he hadn't come back to see his godson, so let's see it later, squint for a while.
Soak and soak,
Uncle Zheng heard footsteps coming,
It's a woman.
It's not Siniang, Siniang's footsteps are not like this, and Siniang has a unique aroma;
It's not a princess, the princess should be by Siniang's side at this time, she can't come over and tease herself alone, and she doesn't dare.
That's Hakka?
The woman came behind Uncle Zheng, picked up a bath towel next to her, and began to help Uncle Zheng rub his back.
Rubbing and rubbing,
Uncle Zheng found out that something was wrong,
Hakka had helped him wipe his back, but the woman who was wiping his back at this time was obviously very unfamiliar, and her hands were still trembling, and she seemed to be extremely shy.
Uncle Zheng opened his eyes with some doubts,
Looking back,
four eyes facing each other,
only to find out that it was actually Liu Ruqing from Fan's Mansion!
In fact, after the princess was arrested in Fan's Mansion for the first time, Uncle Zheng never saw Liu Ruqing again, because Fan Zhengwen directly ordered someone to send Liu Ruqing through Mengshan to Jindi, and after entering Jindi, the people who contacted the six princes sent her to Xuehaiguan safely.
Because Liu Ruqing left early, the chase caused by the robbery of the princess in the back had no effect on her, and Uncle Zheng hid his identity in Chu State after robbing the princess and slowly went out of Chu from Zhennan Pass, and waited for Siniang in Fengxincheng for a period of time, so in fact, Liu Ruqing had already lived in the Earl's Mansion for several days.
It can only be said that Fan Zhengwen is really particular about doing things.
When the remaining demon kings heard that it was the Fan family, that is, the people sent by the six princes,
The blind man checked it first and confirmed that the woman didn't know martial arts, and she wouldn't be a silver armor guard, so she passed the first level.
Then after learning of her husband's early death,
The demon kings understood in an instant,
Threshold of entry, threshold of entry,
directly let Liu Ruqing live in the house.
Liu Ruqing didn't know Zheng Fan's true identity until she entered the Earl's Palace, and she was shocked for many days.
As for why he was sent to the Earl's Court, and what he was going to do after being sent to the Earl's Palace,
She's not a stupid girl who has nothing to do, she knows it.
So
After learning that Uncle Zheng had returned,
She didn't dare to come out to greet her because she was shy, but when Uncle Zheng entered the backyard and started to take a bath, she also knew that there were some things that she had to face.
So
Here she comes.
But Rao has been preparing for many days and nights,
But by the soup pool,
When looking at the naked Uncle Zheng,
Liu Ruqing's face immediately flushed, like dyed with the colorful glow of dusk, more like a ripe peach.
And Liu Ruqing couldn't continue to resist Uncle Zheng's continuous gaze after all,
couldn't help but shout with a little coquettishness:
"Uncle~~~~"
ββββββ
Thank you for being the 126th leader of "Demon Lin"!
Ask for a monthly pass again, it's about to be the end of the month, how many people are at the end of this month, and next month we will strive to be at least one higher than it, which can be regarded as a goal.
Hold you all tight!
