25. Set off for Western Xinjiang

The farce of several princes and princesses ended with the emperor "spitting blood in his mouth and suffering from a serious illness", and the Taiyi Hall continued to go to the Heart Cultivation Hall to see a doctor overnight, and came to the conclusion that it was necessary to be quiet and self-cultivation. Song Xingyuan's marriage was not withdrawn, and the marriage of Gong Jingtian and Gong Jingyu naturally did not count.

Only Gong Wan'er wredded her handkerchief, her face showed a fierce light, and she bit her red lip and said to the intimate maid: "You can't just forget it, Cheng Xiuyi is now in the Three Holy Pavilions, let's start with her friends first." ”

Gong Wan'er rode a carriage to the Great City overnight. She sent someone to find out that Cheng Xiuyi's friend was the Miss of the Dalicheng Deficit Dart Bureau, named Du Juan. Since childhood, he has been frail and sick, and it is not advisable to go out. However, this time, I can't help how weak Du Juan's body is, Gong Wan'er has already thought of a way to deal with it, and if you want to blame it, you can blame Cheng Xiuyi for daring to rob her man.

The Du family's deficit dart bureau got a letter early in the morning, saying that it was a separate summons from the big man in the Kyoto Palace, and he also made an additional statement that he must bring his daughter. Du Hai was very puzzled, and he didn't dare to delay and took Du Juan to the Dali City Lord's Mansion.

Gong Wan'er is tall and strong, and when she stands up, she is about the same as Du Hai, but she prefers strong makeup, which is a little out of place when she matches it. Du Hai saw from a distance that this unusual woman was talking with Rong Ziping, the lord of Dali City, and Rong Ziping was sitting in the lower seat with a smile on his face.

Du Hai retracted his gaze and walked into the reception hall with his head down.

Gong Wan'er smiled: "Boss Du, it's just in time." I have long heard that your Du family's deficit dart bureau is acting safely, and this princess has a treasure in her hand that needs to be escorted to Kyoto to participate in this month's peach blossom feast, and you will serve it for me. ”

After speaking, Gong Wan'er clapped her hands, and four strong men carried into a glazed vessel covered by a black cloth outside the door, Du Hai looked at it curiously, and the big man ripped off the black cloth with a wave, and in the glazed vessel was a Yuhua Ice Lotus, each petal was as beautiful as chalcedony, and it also exuded a long cold air.

Gong Wan'er stepped forward and said, "This is not an ordinary Yuhua Ice Lotus, it is the one that absorbs the fullest moonlight essence from the Cold Ice Valley, and this princess wasted a lot of thought to get it." However, now that July is hot and dry, I am afraid that it will affect the growth of Yuhua Ice Lotus, I specially asked the Lord of the Cold Ice Valley how to save it, and there is only one shot - that is, the girl of the extreme yin of the system will be escorted by her throughout the whole process. ”

Du Hai's face froze, and he finally knew why he insisted that he must bring the cuckoo. Angry said: "Princess, you mean to want my daughter ......"

Gong Wan'er smiled maliciously: "Just wear a single dress and stick to this glassware in Kyoto, Boss Du won't want to delay the princess's peach flower banquet, right?" ”

Du Hai saw that the Yuhua Ice Lotus had only been on the ground for a while, and the glassware was already full of ice crystals, and anyone who approached could feel the slightest coldness. It takes a day to get to Kyoto at the earliest, and if you get close to the frail cuckoo, it is estimated that you will be disabled for life. I couldn't help but say hatefully: "I'm sorry, my Du family won't accept this list!" I can't just ask my daughter to die for money! ”

The cuckoo's eyes were red, and he hid behind his father in fear. She always felt that this princess had other purposes, but something happened to Xiuyi......

Du Hai pulled the cuckoo and wanted to leave, but unfortunately the door of the guest hall had already been sealed by Rong Ziping's order. Rong Ziping has always been tactful, and at this time, he took a sip of hot tea unhurriedly before saying to Du Hai with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry to decide, Boss Du, we are all old acquaintances of Dahlia." Listen to my brother's persuasion, this is the most beloved tenth princess Gong Wan'er in the saint today, this job is done, you and I can live smoothly, if it is not done, our heads together are not enough! ”

"Rong Ziping, you wall grass! You are a Hongmen feast! I don't care what your identity is, as long as my family is healthy, I want to kill or chop casually! Du Hai gritted his teeth and roared, his face flushed.

"Oops." Rong Ziping walked up to Du Hai, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "It's so serious, Princess Wan'er just wants your family to deliver a piece of goods." Little cuckoo, uncle also watched you grow up, you won't let your parents and elders fall into an embarrassing situation, right? ”

The cuckoo bit her lower lip tightly, and her legs trembled a little. All this is so pitiful and ridiculous in Gong Wan'er's eyes. She sat in the highest place, staring at the fragility and incompetence of ordinary people, these women who appeared next to Brother Xingyuan and did not have long eyes, in the end, she would be cleaned up one by one.

This time, it's no exception. Gong Wan'er smiled and drank the exquisite wine in the glass.

*

Cheng Xiuyi, who was going to take the test, didn't know this, she was overwhelmed by the three-day hellish difficulty of the test questions, as if she was climbing a high mountain that towered into the top of the clouds, and she was only on the mountainside, and she had run out of food. Both mental and physical strength have been consumed like never before.

Tidora, the king of the kingdom holding the lute above her head, seemed to pluck his fingers, and the sound of Buddha came from every corner of the hall like a tidal wave, accompanied by the sound of the pipa. Cheng Xiuyi's forehead muscles rose and fell with the tone, forming a large-scale explosion in his mind.

Are you already experiencing auditory hallucinations? Cheng Xiuyi bit the tip of her tongue out of blood, and shook her head vigorously to eliminate all the sounds except the exam questions. But the words on the examination paper have become more and more esoteric and strange, which is a spiritual purgatory torture.

It is not only Cheng Xiuyi who is fast to the limit, and all other students are spared.

"Ah!!!h

A scream came from behind, and a man from a family of Bunmo in Kyoto couldn't stand it anymore, his hair was scratched and messy, he got up and tore the rice paper hard, and rushed out of the examination hall with a shout.

But no one took a second look, for this had been repeated many times in three days. The number of people sitting here to take exams has dropped by half. As for the rest of the people's nerves are completely tense on their own test questions, I am afraid that they have no time to shout after being cut by a knife, and they have been forced into a state of mind where everything is empty.

Gong Jingyu is the devil, the devil! Beneath the gentle exterior is a heart that tortures people to death!

After finishing the exam, Cheng Xiuyi was lying on the dining table limply, not even having the strength to eat, Cheng Yisheng reluctantly took the bowl to help. At this time, Shangguan Baocai gathered a group of people out of nowhere and gathered next to Cheng Xiuyi.

Shangguan Baocai looked left and right, and said in a chattering voice: "Woman, I have great news here!" ”

Cheng Xiuyi buried her head in her sleeve and asked lazily, "What's the news?" ”

"The big guy should keep his head down, but don't let anyone else hear it." Shangguan Baocai pretended to gather the crowd and whispered: "I heard that the governor of Song Xingyuan made a big disturbance in the palace and wanted to cancel the marriage contract with the tenth princess!" The tenth princess and the crown prince also jumped into the river together! ”

"Really? Aren't they the protagonists of folk love stories, I don't believe it. ”

As soon as Shangguan Baocai's words fell, one person immediately retorted.

"That is, Governor Song is my idol, and it is impossible for him to do such a thing."

"Wait, what's the matter with the prince."

Listening to the discussions, Cheng Xiuyi's eyes widened and her back straightened. Song Xingyuan went to dissolve the marriage contract?

Shangguan Baocai sighed: "I don't think about Song Dudu and the Ten Princesses, hey, haven't you seen the princess herself, it's just a mighty fight with several heavenly kings in the West Pavilion, and her wrist is twice as strong as mine." ”

"Is it as exaggerated as you say, aren't the princesses all golden branches and jade leaves?"

Shangguan Baocai shook his eyebrows and said, "She's a thick branch. Hey, not to mention the size, her character is also notorious, a few years ago, the little maid in the Song Dudu's mansion was caught by the tenth princess and poured hot soup on her eyes because she looked at Song Dudu a few more times......"

"Hiss......"

Even Cheng Xiuyi felt that her eyes hurt a little, and everyone squeezed their eyebrows unnaturally for a while. The tenth princess is really so vicious, splashing people's eyes with hot soup, it is really terrifying, everyone consciously closed their mouths for discussion, and walked away stupidly, not wanting to get into any trouble.

"If you want me to say, you are worthy of Lord Song. Talented girl, eh, what are you blushing about? As soon as Shangguan Baocai's chatterbox was opened, the crowd dispersed, obviously not very happy. still talked about Cheng Xiuyi, but saw her blushing like a monkey's ass.

Cheng Xiuyi coughed a few times in embarrassment and lowered her head to drink the soup. What the hell is the appearance of a talented woman, only he Shangguan Baocai dares to say this. Could it be that Song Xingyuan is the little husband who was raised at home, and she Cheng Xiuyi is a talented woman who goes out? With such an inexplicable setting, Cheng Xiuyi wanted to laugh, if the iceberg tear mole man knew that he was defined like this, I am afraid that he would be like thunder?

This unexpected news made Cheng Xiuyi's painful mental state inexplicably better. At least she knew that Song Xingyuan was genuinely working hard where she couldn't see. But is it worth it to break the engagement with the princess just to see her?

Song Xingyuan also thought about this question for a long time. Is it worth it?

He is not alone, there are Song Mansion, Fuguo Mansion, and hundreds of thousands of Star Banner Army behind him. If he treats the princess's marriage contract as child's play, and the heads of so many people who trust him as child's play, then he deserves death. But Song Xingyuan finally made up his mind, he no longer wanted to pretend to be a model courtier and son in the eyes of others. He just wants to be himself, marry someone he likes, and take care of his true family and brothers. Therefore, Song Xingyuan has to show his strength, so that he can do those nasty things without being respectful......

The closed source of information of the Three Holy Pavilion is still a step slow, at this moment, Song Xingyuan has already embarked on the journey to fight in the western frontier, and he wants Miyagi Han to withdraw from his marriage as he wishes, and this journey has to go. Miyagi Han is the most treacherous old fox, and he has already linked the marriage and interests of the ten princesses.

Naxi Xinjiang is the nightmare of all soldiers, the plateau terrain, oxygen is thin, mostly mountains and deserts, and the living environment is extremely treacherous. Inside, there are gangsters, large and small groups raiding homes and robbing houses, and outside there are countries taking advantage of the chaos to cause riots. The 500,000 troops sent by the court's military headquarters before and after were all broken one by one and collapsed. This time, Song Xingyuan only brought 200,000 people, all of whom were elite soldiers in the prime of life under his star character, and he was also the youngest general in history to go to the western frontier.

On the day of departure, thousands of people in Kyoto lined up neatly in a row, tearfully bidding farewell on both sides of the official road. The women and children sent their sincere wishes to the soldiers with pink and purple stars in the sky, wishing them a safe return.

Song Xingyuan rode on a group of pitch-black horses, he was wearing a crimson cloak and delicate black iron armor, Ying Qiuqing couldn't save his determination when he cried and swollen, so he had to pray in front of the Buddha hall with tears streaming down his face. As for the rest of the Song family, they were either unwell, or they were in trouble, and no one came to send them. Song Xingyuan kept all this in his heart and stroked the strand of hair in his hand.

He fought this battle, not only to dissolve the marriage contract of the tenth princess and marry Cheng Xiuyi, but also to stabilize himself in the Song family and gain a firm foothold in the court. Those elders who threatened him and ignored him could only be ignored when they became famous. On the other hand, the emperor is in poor health, and the situation of the two princes and eight kings fighting is about to begin, and he is bound to win this battle and become Gong Jingyu's strongest backing.

Song Xingyuan looked at the hundreds of thousands of young and vigorous soldiers behind him, his heart was full of compassion, some of them were still so new and immature, they were full of confidence in the battle of the Western Xinjiang in the near future and the young general in front of them, and hung the 'star' card firmly on their waists.

"The people will obey the order, and none of you will fall, and you will return to Kyoto as many as you want. Leave! ”

Song Xingyuan pulled out the long sword at his waist and pushed it hard to the west.

200,000 soldiers held their weapons in unison and shouted: "The Star Banner Army listens to the order!" Leave! ”
