"But I've always felt that it's not that simple. The princess of Tianze Kingdom is by no means idle, and she will definitely not stand up and do anything good easily. ”

"Isn't she deliberately acting in order to win favor?" Qiu Ying weighed it for a moment before saying: "Master, since this princess of Tianze Kingdom has the heart and relatives to be the crown princess, maybe she wants to sell well in front of the people, and she will be supported by everyone in the future." ”

Su Jinyao shook her head and said, "Never." This Princess Miina must have seen something and would come forward to help. Because I noticed that when the little bald head was about to thank her, she took two steps back without a trace, just in time to avoid the little bald head hugging the hem of her skirt. ”

Su Jinyao began to act

In other words, Su Jinyao felt that Princess Miyina was guarding against that little bald head in her heart.

And as soon as Ding Er's two people left, Mi Yina motioned for the secret guard to follow, and afterwards Qiu Ying also confirmed that the princess's secret guard was actually more than one.

So, since there are so many people in the shadows, why does Miina pretend to be weak, and take the little maid and the maid to stand up and do justice?

Oh, I see! Su Jinyao's mind flashed, and she immediately understood Princess Miina's intentions.

Originally, it was something that a guard could solve with a silver ticket (qíng), but she preferred to fight on her own. On the surface, she looks like a brainless white lotus.

But in fact, she couldn't wait to make a big fuss about the fact that the little maid and the maid were captured by Ding Er and them as hostages.

If Ding Er didn't let go of him at that time and continued to blackmail, maybe Princess Miyina would take the opportunity to make things bigger. In this way, it is not too much to say that it is provoking a dispute between the two countries, right?

It is also said that Princess Mirina wandered around this street, wishing she would meet some troublemaker.

On the surface, she rushed over to help the child with kindness, but in fact, she was causing trouble. In the end, it was okay (jiāo) to weakly say how the people of the Cloud Dome Kingdom bullied her.

And she deliberately took out the two silver tickets and sent them over, making it clear that she was "stupid and easy to bully". almost didn't shout directly, "You come to rob me, hit me".

Su Jinyao thought about it again, when she and Gu Xuebin were in Mobei, she had analyzed the purpose of the princess of Tianze Kingdom to come here and kiss.

It is likely that the princess has already begun to sow discord, and she has done so early.

It seems that before the National Day ceremony of the Cloud Dome Country, there must be a good show to be performed.

Thinking of this, Su Jinyao said: "The people who asked you to send the message immediately, and all the cottages that were collected by me should act immediately, whether it is a mountain road or an official road, as long as they can meet the merchants who enter Beijing to pay tribute or the envoys of other countries, they will be more or less disturbed." But remember, don't hurt someone's life (xìng), and don't covet money. Just intercept it, ask a few words, and report my name. I really can't remember what to say, just say a few beautiful words about the National Day ceremony. ”

Qiu Ying nodded and agreed, "Don't worry, master, we have enough manpower." I will arrange for the messengers to monitor the movements of these people, and if they do not follow the instructions of your master, or use your name to rob their homes, they will be exterminated. ”

Su Jinyao said: "If the manpower is good enough, you can do it." Kill one and make an example, and no one is allowed to misinterpret my intentions, saying that it is not possible to rob money and kill people. ”

Autumn Shadow replied "yes" and turned (shēn) to deliver the message.

Now there are dozens of masters under Qiu Ying's hands. In addition to the dozen or so people who had been following Su Jinyao (shēn) as guards, there were still more than thirty good players who had been mobilized from other places.

The large and small cottages are arranged, the small village is one person to pass the message, the big village is supervised by two people, and each of the twenty-five cottages has someone to suppress the formation, and this time the matter (qíng) can ensure that nothing goes wrong.

The reason why Su Jinyao let these people make trouble, but did not let them commit (jiān) crimes, was also to make it easier for them to be incorporated in the future.

Just imagine, if the two or three thousand people under Su Jinyao were all big villains who killed people and oversold goods, robbed and humiliated the imperial court officials and envoys of various countries, how could the imperial court take Su Jinyao incorporate?

I am afraid that a holy decree will come down, and it will be the end of all annihilation.

Not to mention 3,000 people, it is 30,000 people, as long as the imperial court wants to make efforts to thoroughly investigate this matter, a small-scale non-governmental organization like Su Jinyao will be wiped out in minutes.

So Su Jinyao is not stupid, and Qiu Ying also understands what Su Jinyao means. The purpose of creating momentum is to attract attention, and it is co-opted by the ancient family, not to have a hard time with the imperial court.

With Qiu Ying to do this, Su Jinyao was relieved.

The reason why she suddenly gave this order in advance was also because she found that this Princess Miyina of Tianze Country was indeed not simple.

Instead of waiting for her to jump back and forth like a clown jumping off a beam and disturb the harmony between the two countries, it is better to let Su Jinyao's matter (qíng) cover this matter (qíng).

No matter how much Princess Miina tosses, it is impossible for a thousand people to follow her to stir up trouble. The eyes of the imperial court are on Su Jinyao (shēn), and they will not pay attention to her as a princess.

At that time, with the (shēn) share of the granddaughter of the Gu family, it is only natural for Su Jinyao to be the crown princess (qíng), and the (shēn) share will not be lower than this Miina princess.

In the past, Su Jinyao wouldn't mind any princess's share (shēn), as long as she could be with Gu Xuebin, she could be a small peasant girl in Pingshan Village or a small businessman in Anji City. You can also nest next to Gu Xuebin (shēn), ride the rivers and lakes with him, and live happily.

But now, Gu Xuebin (shēn) is nervous and cannot afford to lose, and once he takes a wrong step, he may no longer have a stable (rì) son, and may even have (xìng) life worries.

Su Jinyao decided to fight for the position of the crown princess, no matter what, she had to stand shoulder to shoulder with Gu Xuebin and face everything in the future (qíng).

She knew that Gu Xuebin also had the same idea and made up her mind to be with her.

Two people agree with one heart, so whatever (shēn) part and situation can be settled as they come.

If you can get a leisure, you have to face it with a smile. If the future is bumpy, the two will snuggle up to each other and support each other, and they will not worry that the road is too difficult.

When it was about to get dark, Autumn Shadow returned.

She reported to Su Jinyao: "Everything has been arranged, and our people will hurry up overnight." Twenty-five cottages, the farthest is Jinwu Mountain, which can also be reached the day after tomorrow. The nearest is Heming Mountain, and news can come after nightfall, if Chu Hefei has any changes, he will ...... directly."

Autumn Shadow sneered and made a motion to wipe her neck.

This can't be blamed on Qiu Ying's ruthlessness, if Chu Hefei goes back on his word at this critical moment and refuses to cooperate with Su Jinyao's matter (qíng), Qiu Ying will definitely not give the other party a chance to live.

When Su Jinyao went to Heming Mountain, what she said and did was to give Chu Hefei a lot of face, and she also married Jin Lan with Chu Kefan.

With the relationship between Chu Kefan and Su Jinyao, no matter what, it can be regarded as other people's intimacy. If something goes wrong here in Heming Mountain, then in the future, others will follow suit and disobey orders, and it will be chaotic (tào).

Su Jinyao smiled slightly and didn't say anything. She agrees with Autumn Shadow's approach.

Sometimes you have to be merciful, sometimes you have to be iron-fisted, and you must not tolerate it when you should be ruthless. Otherwise, you will be ridden to the end by some gangsters who don't know what to do.

One Chu Hefei is not enough to become a stumbling block for Su Jinyao. But if it's too much of an eyesore, there's no need to keep it, it's up to him to choose.

The princess's dowry

Su Jinyao and Qiu Ying had just finished talking about business, and Xiuning and Dongzi came back.

Su Jinyao had no intention of saying anything to them, and there was no need for this, so she ordered the two of them to go to bed early, and they didn't need to get up at night no matter what they heard.

Dongzi was more clever and knew that Su Jinyao would not be an idle woman, so he agreed repeatedly, promising not to listen or watch indiscriminately.

However, Xiuning was more axial, saying that he was afraid that Su Jinyao (shēn) would not be able to bear it, so he must get up in the middle of the night to make a supper for Su Jinyao, and said that it was best to let Su Jinyao drink some ginseng tea.

Su Jinyao smiled after hearing this, and said, "I am a healer, and I know my own (shēn) body best." It's not yet time to drink ginseng tea to replenish qi. You can go to bed in peace. I couldn't sleep, so I went to talk to the deaf woman. Don't run to this backyard if you don't have anything to do. ”

Xiu Ning pursed his lips and said, "The master doesn't want me to have many things, so I'll just say it." Why do you want me to talk to the deaf? Isn't that scolding me? ”

Su Jinyao said: "You know well. Let's go, I have something big to do. ”

Xiuning then turned (shēn) and left.

It's just that when she crossed the threshold, she couldn't help but stop again, turned around and said, "Master, when I was hanging out with Dongzi just now, I heard that the princess of Tianze Kingdom was here, and she directly brought a convoy of dowries. How can there be such a shameless princess, and she still relies on sending the door. ”

Su Jinyao listened, her brows furrowed slightly. Then he asked, "Then did you hear where the convoy of dowries was?" ”

Xiuning shook his head and said, "I don't know." I heard that it is still far away, and it is estimated that it will take two days to get here. But some people who have seen it say that twenty carts are lined up in a long line, and red flowers and streamers are hung all over the carts, and even the horses pulling the carts are covered with red cloth and big red flowers on their heads. Master, do you say this is a dowry or a kiss? ”

Su Jinyao waved her hand and said, "It's okay, you go down." It's not something we can control. ”

Xiuning pursed her lips again when she heard this, as if she still wanted to fight for Su Jinyao. But in the end, he didn't say anything and left with Dongzi.

Qiu Ying kept an eye on Su Jinyao's watch (qíng) until Xiu Ning and the others left, and then came and said, "Master, I don't look at the princess of Tianze Kingdom like giving a dowry, but like (bī) getting married." ”

Su Jinyao sighed and said, "Yes, I brought the dowry with great fanfare, can you Gu Xuebin still want a princess?" You can't even send someone back with a dowry in the end. Then it's better to go straight to war. ”

Su Jinyao knew very well that at this time, as long as the dowry arrived, Gu Xuebin was no longer willing, but he didn't even have a reason to refuse to marry.

Refusal to marry is equivalent to directly slapping someone in the face of Tianzeguo, and people are not anxious with you and do not fight? Are you still waiting to stay for the New Year?

Qiu Ying thought for a moment next to him and said, "But master, there is one thing that I think is inconsistent. ”

Su Jinyao nodded and motioned for Qiu Ying to continue.

Qiu Ying said: "The girl we saw before, I can be sure that it is the princess of Tianze Kingdom. But isn't it abrupt that she doesn't walk with the dowry convoy and act alone? This is not in accordance with etiquette and rules. ”

Su Jinyao listened, nodded, and said, "If it seems on the surface, it is the princess of this Tianze country who is pretending to be naïve, pretending to come out for a walk." But I think she must know that Gu Xuebin will not marry her easily, rather than being really rejected for marriage, it is better to make something wrong in advance, and it is logical to regret the marriage. ”

Actually, this matter is very easy to explain. In case Gu Xuebin can't resist the emperor and the queen mother, he is really forced to marry this princess of Tianze Kingdom, can this princess be happy?

Moreover, the current situation is so tense, if the two countries really go to war, no matter how beautiful this princess is when she gets married, she will end up being a cannon fodder.

So she's not stupid, she'll find a way back for herself. It is also now, before the marriage is a foregone conclusion, she can mix this matter (qíng), and she doesn't have to get married.

In fact, in this way, Gu Xuebin and this princess have no intention of each other, so it is better to let her make trouble.

But when I thought about it, I felt that this matter was holding my breath.

Why do you Tianzeguo want to get married, and even the dowry is brought over in a hurry, and in the end, a princess is making trouble here?

Since you are not sincere, why is Gu Xuebin waiting for you to find fault and withdraw from the marriage.

To be honest, Su Jinyao is the kind of person who is extremely protective of her shortcomings. She couldn't tolerate others to calculate Gu Xuebin like this, and in the end, she ended up with a Tianze Kingdom slandering the Cloud Dome Country and deducting the basin from the marriage.

Thinking of this, Su Jinyao narrowed her eyes and said to Qiu Ying: "The person who sent you will immediately check and see where the dowry of the princess of Tianze Kingdom has gone." I want to be fast, and the faster the better. ”

"Yes." Autumn Shadow agreed, and immediately turned (shēn) and went out.

Then a whistle was heard, not very loud, but the kind that could be carried far away.

At night, it sounds a bit like a short cry of a frightened bird, and it doesn't attract much attention.

But in reality, this is a sign that Autumn Shadow has an urgent matter (qíng), summoning a spy.

And it has to be the best spies with the best ability to repay to know this unique signal.

Not long after the signal was transmitted, a faint whistle was heard echoing, and it should be that the people summoned by Autumn Shadow were about to arrive.

It was also a moment later that Autumn Shadow returned. directly reported: "Master, the person I found back, there is a wedding convoy that saw the princess of Tianze Kingdom. ”

Su Jinyao asked, "Where is it?" At the same time, she had already gotten up (shēn) and walked towards the closet.

Qiu Ying said: "Coincidentally, I camped three miles below Heming Mountain. There was a small village there, the name of which was unknown, but now the whole convoy of people lived in the village. There were about three or four hundred people. ”

"Good." Su Jinyao smiled and said, "Send a message to Heming Mountain again, the previous order will be revoked, and a card will be set up on the road to the capital at the foot of the mountain." Autumn Shadow, prepare the horse, take all the people, go now. ”

"Yes." Qiu Ying has always obeyed Su Jinyao's orders.

She was only responsible for obedience and transfer, and then she followed Su Jinyao's (shēn) side to protect her master.

Su Jinyao opened the wardrobe, chose a light and convenient short-cut shirt, and took out a pair of high-cut deerskin boots to change.

These boots are specially made by Su Jinyao to find craftsmen, and the soles are thickened and flexible cow tendon soles, which make them easier to wear and walk with their feet.

The toe of the shoe is wrapped with a thick first layer of cowhide, which is very hard in tannish, and being kicked is enough for the other party to drink a pot.

Wear these special mocskin boots, the laces are tied from the instep to the calf, handsome and neat.

After all dressed, Su Jinyao went out, took Qiu Ying and a dozen of his subordinates, and took advantage of the night to go straight to Heming Mountain.

Summoning the "Dark General"

At the speed of Su Jinyao and Qiu Ying, the three watches had already seen the outline of Heming Mountain.

And there was already a news from the spies who came back before, saying that Hemingshan was very cooperative and agreed to any dispatch from Su Jinyao.

Walking further along, I heard a voice coming from the front, which sounded like there were quite a few people. At a glance, there are many people on the shadowy road.

Qiu Ying gestured to the back (shēn), and immediately two of his men rode over to the front to see the situation of 明 (qíng).

After a while, it was not two people who came back, but three. Behind the two people sent by Autumn Shadow was a young, handsome "man".

"Brother Kefan, why are you here?" As soon as Su Jinyao saw that it was Chu Kefan who ran over, she immediately called "brother".

Chu Kefan rode to the front, a pair of watery eyes bent up, smiled at Su Jinyao, and said, "My father said that I should set up a roadblock here to block all the carts and people coming and going. ”

Su Jinyao said: "Thank you, uncle, it's really kind." I came overnight this time to make a big deal. But when you came, I want to ask you, do you dare to do a hot deal. ”

In fact, what Su Jinyao said was vague, but Chu Kefan grew up in the cottage of Heming Mountain since he was a child, and he immediately understood what Su Jinyao meant.

Only the kind of buying and selling of goods that rob officials' families is called a hot business.

If it is an ordinary merchant, even if it is a whole caravan, it can only be called "fat sheep".

Chu Kefan took a breath, but did not hesitate, nodded heavily, and said, "If Jinyao asks me what I mean, of course I am obligated to agree." However, if it is the brother who pulls the entire Heming Mountain, I have to ask my father. ”

There was nothing wrong with Chu Kefan's words, and Su Jinyao also understood.

Chu Kefan has no opinion on this matter, as long as it is done by Su Jinyao, the "brother and sister" who worship each other will of course act righteously.

But the brothers of the entire Heming Mountain of more than 300 people, that is more than 300 living human lives, and it is also a major event related to hundreds of families.

Which one has no siblings, and which one has no parents, wives and children? Dead one, harming the family (qíng), Chu Kefan can't make his own decisions.

Su Jinyao nodded and said, "That's the reason." Can you give me an answer before dawn? When the day dawns, no matter what your opinions are on Heming Mountain, I will do it. ”

"Okay, I'll go back to the mountain and ask my dad now." After Chu Kefan finished speaking, Lama wanted to leave.

But after not taking a few steps, she turned back and said:
