Chapter Eighty-Seven: A Smile Falls for the City

Three years of war, there were victories and defeats, the barbarian cavalry in southern Xinjiang was brave, and the Xiqi soldiers were also bloody and killed the enemy, and the two sides seemed to be evenly matched, but I knew that after many years of fighting, Xiqi was strong and strong, and it had already suffered a lot of damage.

Last year, there was a drought in northern Gansu, and the old emperor opened a warehouse to release grain, and in order to calm the people's hearts, he exempted the ten cities in the frontier from paying taxes for two years. In this way, the people's will is stabilized, but the treasury is also empty. At this time, Concubine De, the mother of Helian Yunnuma, stepped forward.

She took out all the jewelry, gold and silver, and took off Luo Jin and changed to cloth clothes, and changed the bird's nest to porridge and radish in the morning and evening, and donated all the money she saved to the people.

His Majesty the Emperor felt his virtue, and the next month, a holy decree was announced to the world: Concubine De is virtuous and virtuous, Wen Hui Bingxin, the heart is lofty, worried about the country and the people, and allows the mother to honor the world, so she was established as the queen of Hede, unified the six palaces, and held the phoenix seal.

Concubine De swept away the vacancy of the harem without an owner for 20 years, and her son Helian Yunnuma asked himself to go to the border to supervise the army the next day.

The new queen and the new king are all serving the country, and Helian Yunhong, the prince of Western Qi, seems to be worried about it, and three months later he contracted a cold.

On the second day of the second month of the following month, in the middle of the night, I died.

The crown prince died, and the princes were in turmoil and ready to move. The old emperor saw it in his eyes, but he didn't care about it, and a few months later, the strength of the princes was damaged in the open and secret battles, and only the second prince, Helian Yunze, stood tall and did not fall.

And the king of Marsh Yuan, Helian Yunnuma, since he went to the border pass, is to fight several victories one after another, it is said that he is sympathetic to his subordinates, far-reaching strategy, and the name of the god of war of the virtuous king spread.

One is a shrewd prince, the other is a virtuous god of war prince, the two are really difficult to choose, the East Palace storage position has been suspended, fortunately, the spirit of the old emperor Dragon and Tiger has not caused any turmoil for the time being.

After late autumn, it snowed heavily for several days, and the cold plums in the county lord's mansion vied to bloom, and when the plum blossoms bloomed to their fullest, it was the coldest time in Xiqi, and as soon as the New Year passed, I would be fourteen years old.

Time is like a river, flowing slowly in spring, autumn, east and summer, spring cicadas spin silk, autumn butterflies flying.

That thin Su Tianmu has been washed away by the river of time, and my beauty has broken out of the cocoon.

I have grown taller, plump, and my complexion has changed from a lack of nutrients to a white complexion, although my waist is still slender, the vast grassland in front of me is not the same as yesterday.

Pointed face, cherry lips, narrow eyebrows, good to have that pair of phoenix eyes, watery, like a clear spring.

I don't like words, so there is more arrogance between the eyebrows, and there is a folk song in Shengjing, "Spring has spring, summer has hibiscus, and begonias are colorful, not as good as Leng Ningxiang." ”

It means that spring is beautiful in spring, and hibiscus flowers are beautiful in summer, but even colorful begonias are not as good as Leng Ning.

The Leng Ning they are talking about is me, the county lord of Ning'an.

The daughter of the Su family is beautiful after all.

"Fluttering ......"

A white dove flew down to the window, cooing twice, I walked over, grabbed the white dove, took off the thin bamboo tied to its legs, and pulled out the note inside, which read: All daily life, the fish do not swim.

The fish didn't swim, but it was already fast.

Shake the note slightly, a flame rises, and the note turns to ashes. I smiled slightly, sat down in my chair with a shallow step, picked up a glass of red plum brew, and took a sip of it.

Three years is enough time for me to plump my wings.

In the past three years, I have expanded 63 gambling houses, 59 red halls, 13 2 money houses and 41 restaurants.

West Qi, East Mu, North Li......

The children who were found by Li Jiu in the past have long since grown up and have been scattered to various places in various capacities and have become my secret chess.

Every month a new child is brought in, and every month a new chess piece is assigned.

My chess pieces went from a few to ten, hundreds, and more......

I know what everyone knows, and I know what others don't, and I have the weakness of many people and I have made friends with many people with these handles......

I'm slowly getting stronger, and it's almost time to take revenge......

"County Lord, the queen mother rewarded the fresh deer heart blood this morning, saying that it is excellent for dispelling the cold and replenishing the body. The slave and maid gave you ice ballast to remove the fishy smell, you can taste it. Qing Teng whispered behind him with a bowl, interrupting my thoughts.

I turned my head, looked at the red bowl, and said lightly, "Let's serve it first." ”

"Yes." Qing Teng replied and stepped back.

I picked up the plum brew on the table and took another sip.

Since I was given the title of county lord three years ago, His Majesty called me into the palace at intervals, and the queen gave me amber today, and sent me old ginseng to make up for my body after a few days.

Everyone thought it was a privilege, but I wasn't flattered.

Suho has been on the frontier for four years, winning countless battles, big and small.

Ranked as a marshal, he is no higher than a king, and His Majesty can no longer have a reward.

Since Su Tianxue and Lu Li had an accident, it has been difficult for her to gain a foothold in Shengjing again, and she went to Wu Wanhua's relative's house that night.

Although His Majesty did not agree and was promoted to an official position, he also lived in seclusion from then on.

The Su family is no one anymore, Your Majesty praises me like this, just to make a show and to calm the military heart of the frontier.

The emperor's family is just talking about the emperor's policy.

I took a sip of the flower girl, and from a distance, I saw the green beads running over.

"Miss, the chariot of the nineteenth princess has arrived at the door, she asked you to go out quickly, saying that we want to go to Beishan for an outing together."

I glanced out the window, although it was sunny today, it was only early spring, and the grass in the mountains was not yet green, so why should I go on an outing?

Just thinking about it, I saw a red figure running in, giggling and "Oh, why are you so slow, I've been waiting for you at the door for a long time, hurry up." Saying that, the nineteenth princess ran over, pulled me and ran, I couldn't resist her, so I followed her, and when I arrived at the door, I knew that there was not only the princess's car at the door, but also Ji Yunchang, Rong Bawang, Chen Xiangnian and Liu Ronger.

In a few years, I've been changing, and everyone is changing.

Ji Yunchang has grown into a gentle and introverted teenager, Rongzi has raised a lot of height, but he still has that handsome appearance, and the nineteenth princess is more and more beautiful, compared to the Heshuo princess Helian Yunpei back then.

Chen misses her like a hibiscus, and Liu Rong'er has already passed the time of her marriage, but she is still in her boudoir. A few days ago, there were even rumors that His Majesty intended to make her a princess and make peace with Beili, but the holy will is unpredictable, who knows.

"Hey, why are you so slow, the master has been waiting for you for a long time!" Rong Ziyang looked up and glanced at me.

Ji Yunchang smiled lightly and said, "Don't listen to him, we just came." ”

I bowed my head, the butler will prepare the carriage at this time, I saw that Ji Yunchang and Rong Ziyang were both riding horses, so I simply asked the housekeeper to bring the sweaty and bloody horse, smoothed the horsehair a few times, jumped lightly, and turned over, and the group rode horses and whips, and soon arrived at Beishan.

Although it is called North Mountain, the mountain here is not high, because there is a lake in front of it, and in the early spring, there are always some young ladies who come to go on an outing.

"Hey, let's go over there and make a boat." The princess pointed forward.

I looked over there, the weeping willows on the lake had just spit green, and there were a few colorful brocade boats parked on the lake, and the boatmen were greeting business.

There is really nothing to enjoy in the bare North Mountain, the painting boat has windows on all sides, and you can enjoy the scenery while sitting on the boat, everyone nodded, and the princess giggled, and ran over first, regardless of the maid's obstruction.

"Hey, boatman, I've got you covered with this boat." The princess pointed to one of the largest boats.

The shopkeeper immediately nodded and said, "Okay, miss, I'll give you a boat." ”

"Wait!"

The boatman set the pedals, and the princess pulled me to lift my feet, when a sound came from the slanted thorns, and then several burly men came over.

I raised my eyes to look, and when I saw the face of the person in charge, I also muttered in my heart, how could it be him?

The man at the head, dressed in an ancient pine maroon robe, strode over, glanced at the princess first, and then at me, with a deep amazement in his eyes.

The princess frowned slightly, "Hey, what are you calling us for?" ”

In the warm early spring, the man found a folding fan out of nowhere, shook it a few times, and said, "I have taken a fancy to this boat, I want to charter it, and you can wrap the rest." ”

Rong Xiaobawang came to lose his temper, "Hey, why are you so short-sighted, you have a first come and then come to everything, understand?" We want this boat first, if you want to swim in the lake, you go and charter something else. With that, he strode to the board.

I saw the man in the lead retract the folding fan heavily, and the two big men behind him stepped forward, one left and one right to stop Rong Ziyang.

Rong Ziyang smiled, hugged his shoulders and glanced up and down at the two of them, and said, "What's the matter, want to fight?" Hey, my forehand is itchy, come on, let's practice. ”

The leader looked at the princess, and did not speak, but took out a silver ticket of five hundred taels from his waist, stuffed it directly into the boatman's hand, and then said, "We are Sven people, how can we fight and kill at every turn, come first and then say, okay, I have already paid the money, what do you say." ”

"How can you be so unreasonable!" The princess was furious.

The man snorted, squinted his eyes and said, "Strength is the truth, I have already explained the reason." ”

"You, do you know who I am?" The princess was angry enough, pinching her waist, her willow eyebrows fell on the tree, and her beautiful eyes were full of anger.

The man was interested, and raised his head arrogantly and asked, "Tell me, who are you?" ”

"I'm ......" She was halfway through her words, and I hurriedly pulled her, others didn't know, but I knew who this person was.

The second prince of the Khan of Southern Xinjiang, Tuoba Hong!

It's just strange that my letter is reported, he should have entered the Holy Capital in three days, how did he arrive today?

The nineteenth princess was stunned for a moment, and when she saw me shaking her head gently, she seemed to be a little puzzled, but she still snorted and said, "Forget it, don't worry about you barbarians, boatman, we want to charter another one, just the one with the pink hydrangea." ”

"Okay, okay." The boatman nodded immediately. Who knows, the man actually said, "It's really unfortunate, we also fancy the other one." ”

After saying that, he took out another five hundred taels from his waist and stuffed them into the boatman's hand.

"You! Unreasonable! "The princess was completely furious.

Tuoba Hong smiled, nodded and said, "That's right, I like to be so rude." Not only did we charter that boat, but we also chartered all the boats on the lake, and we are also reasonable people! He accentuated the two words, and then, pulling out a dozen silver tickets from his waist, and stuffing them all into the boatman's hand.

The stack of silver tickets, scattered with tens of thousands of taels, is enough to buy the painting boat of this lake, let alone the bag. The boatman's hands trembled with excitement, and he bowed down and saluted, "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" ”

"You kid, I'll beat you!" Rong Ziyang was directly angry, and he was about to punch when he came up, but my eyes were quick, and I flashed over, and he took a step to dismantle the move.

"What do you do?" He was a little upset, but he wasn't punching.

Ji Yunchang glanced at me, and directly said to the man, "Since my friend has chartered all the painting boats, then we will go elsewhere and say goodbye." ”

After speaking, he walked over and shook his head lightly at Rongziyang. Although he was angry, he was not reckless, and he put down his fist angrily.

I grabbed the princess, who had been glaring at Tuoba Hong, and said softly, "Let's go." ”

"Yes, let's go, there seems to be a new wildflower over there, the petals are very beautiful, let's go and see." Liu Rong'er also came over to persuade.

"Yes, it's windy, let's not wear much, I'm afraid it's going to be cold, let's go." Chen Xiangnian also came over.

Although the princess was unwilling, she couldn't help it, stomped her foot, snorted a barbarian, and followed us.

Tuoba Hong seemed to be a little proud, snorted arrogantly, turned around and stepped on the board.

If we don't say that we are happy and sad, we are talking, the boat has shaken a little, the boat board is between the boat and the case, it is a temporary step, the boat is shaking, the board is not very stable, he stepped down, the board is crooked, it is said that he turned into the water.

Still on the shore, the water was not deep, and the attendants quickly dragged him up. But his clothes were already soaked, his hair was stained with water, and his fan was soaked into a pile of waste paper.

We didn't go far and took in the scene. The princess seemed relieved, and giggled.

The Nineteenth Princess didn't know how overwhelming her smile was, and she didn't know that this laugh had caused trouble, and turned around and walked away with us.

I had a side connection, walked a few steps and turned my head to look, and sure enough, I saw Tuoba Hong's face amazed, looking at the back of the princess and staying in place.
