Chapter Twenty-One: The Old World: A Night Tour in Shatou

Wuyang City is lively, the streets and alleys are full of people coming and going, crowded, or the atmosphere of the king of the north of the town, for the marriage of Zhanchuan Hou and Shaonanbo is also celebrated by the whole city, almost the whole city was feasted, the flowing water seat was placed from the north city to the Chongjia Courtyard of Shatou Port, of course, ordinary people can not watch the normal wedding, but the two brides are from the north of the city all the way to the Chongjia Courtyard, although it is covered with Xipa, but almost no one in the city does not know the name of the "three evils", although it is called "Yangcheng Three Evils", However, ordinary people don't think so, the folk customs in the south are different from those in the Central Plains, they think it's just the young lady of the family messing around, and they have never bullied the poor, but those wealthy families are often tossed by them.

The palace of Nanhai County is not as lively as outside, but it is a little deserted, Chongsheng is sitting on the main hall, Chongqi is also sitting quietly at the bottom, Chongqi is sitting opposite a person who is a little similar to Chongsheng, dressed as a South Vietnamese official, this person is the left counselor of the South Vietnam Senate Chongfan, I saw Chongfan take a sip of tea and said slowly: "Big brother, are you still satisfied with the conditions offered by the emperor?" ”

"Second brother, I only ask you, are you sure that Yang Boyu will not interfere with us?" Chongsheng said cautiously.

"No, this is the guarantee given to us by the Emperor of South Vietnam." Chongfan said confidently.

"Second brother, it's not that I hesitate, do you know that once the matter of Wuyang City fails, the thousand-year-old prosperity of our Chong clan will be ruined!" Chongsheng is still worried.

"Father, if we are defeated, we can only retreat to Zhanchuan, I have already arranged it, the land of Liuzhou west of Zhanchuan is our bottom line, and it is also the place where I have been operating for many years." Chongqi has not spoken.

Chongsheng wanted to scold his son for saying frustrating words at this time, but after thinking about it, what he said was not reality, the thirteen states of Guangfu, bounded by Wuyangcheng, six states in the west, six states in the east, if Wuyangcheng lost the six states in the east, it would be lost, and Yinqingdao and Shaonanguan who marched into the Central Plains were also gone, "Second brother, what Qi'er said makes sense!" ”

This is Chong Fan also fell into deep thought, thought for a while and said: "Big brother, if we don't kill Xiao Huli now, when he really becomes big in the future, the thirteen states of Guangfu will no longer belong to the Chong clan!" ”

"Second uncle, then why did you try your best to persuade the family to cooperate with Xiao Huli that day?" Chongqi bluntly doesn't give any face.

"What do you mean, Erlang?! Although our Chong clan has the name of 'Four Cities', but who cares about us in the major families of the Central Plains, the Central Plains Imperial Court has always regarded us as the vanguard army blocking Nanyue and Zhu Mu's clan, how many years have we been poor in the south, and who really looks down on us in our dealings with the Central Plains?! "Chongfan is violent.

"Second brother, don't get angry, that's not what Qi'er meant!" Chongsheng comforted Chongfan while reproaching Chongqi: "Qi'er, your second uncle is also for the Chong family, and the proposal to cooperate with Xiao Huli at that time was also discussed by the clan, today is not the time for us to talk about this!" ”

"Father, I don't want to have friction with Xiao Huli, since we have already lured the wolf into the house, we have to be conscious, Xiao Huli is actually not terrible, what is terrible is Xiao Yu and Meng Yan, although I have not had much contact with the two of them this year, but whether it is from the management of the army or the people, they have done very well, just take it now, how much control we can have in the Eastern Six Prefectures, do you think the attitude of Zheng Shanglong in Pinghai is not clear?" Chongqi is very sober.

"That's why I want to solve Xiao Huli's influence as soon as possible, Xiao Yu and Meng Yan Xiao'er are just living up to Xiao Huli's prestige, the future is hard to say, it's not a threat from the Chong clan now, don't discuss it, second brother, Qi'er, go and prepare, kill Xiao Huli tonight!" Chongsheng made up his mind.

"Father, second uncle, I have a word first, if you can't hit it with one blow, give up Wuyang City immediately, and lead the soldiers and horses of the Chong clan to Zhanchuan, I have already asked people to block Nanpai Road and Xingdongguan." Chongqi reminded.

"Why are you blocking Nanpai Road and Xingdongguan?" I don't understand.

"Second uncle, if we are defeated, the most important enemy will not be Xiao Huli, but South Vietnam, and Nanpai Road and Xingdong Pass are the only way for South Vietnam to enter." Chongqi's heartfelt explanation.

Chongsheng slapped the table and decided: "If it happens, the thirteen states of Guangfu will still be ours; If it doesn't work, it will be according to Qi'er's arrangement. ”

Chongfan and Chongqi didn't say much when they saw this, according to the original plan to arrange the night's affairs, only Chongsheng was still in the lobby, he was very uneasy in his heart, he was very confident in his own killing Xiao Huli, but he also agreed with his son's words, and for a while he had mixed feelings in his heart, and said in his heart: "Chong's thousand-year-old, doesn't God favor me Chong's at all?" ”

Meng Yan of Chong's Courtyard pretended to be drunk and returned to the new house one step ahead of Xiao Yu, there was no festive atmosphere in the new house at this time, but there was a sense of slaughter, Cang Shu Haoyue's hijab had already been removed, and she had already changed into a strong outfit, Meng Yan looked at her apologetically and said: "Yue'er, I'm really sorry for you, the wedding night made you suffer this kind of grievance." ”

Cang Shu Haoyue is not a hypocritical person, and said with a smile: "Qilang, you are a person who does great things, before I married you, Aya asked me if I was determined to marry you, and I told Aya that it was you in this life!" ”

"That's it, then let's make our wedding night more prosperous, Yue'er, you wait a while and Thirteen Lang will go to Beicheng Shaonanbo Mansion immediately, Thirteen Lang and I look similar, I left three hundred soldiers and horses in the mansion to help you, as long as you resist a stick of incense, I can return to save you from the city." Meng Yan saw that Cang Shu Haoyue was not hypocritical, and her heart was happy, this daughter-in-law was not married in vain, and IKEA should be a room.

"Shichiro, no, I'm going to be with you anyway, I know you want to keep me safe, but we've already done a big prostration, heaven and earth are husband and wife, husband and wife are one, do you want to leave me to play by yourself on the wedding night?" Cang Shu Haoyue's attitude was extremely resolute.

Meng Yan was a little hesitant about Haoyue's willfulness and persistence, thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Then let your maid pretend to be you and Thirteen Lang and go back, my new daughter-in-law is cheap Thirteen Lang's stinky boy, I also think it's inappropriate!" ”

The two looked at each other and laughed, so unhappy, at this time a resentful voice came from outside, "Seventh brother, seventh sister-in-law, you are too much!" The two of them were stunned for a moment, and then laughed even more heartily, until they heard a resentful sound of the door closing.

"What about Sister Ying?" Cang Shu Haoyue asked.

"There is Xiao Yu over there, he will arrange it, I know what you are worried about, since Xiao Yu has decided to marry Xiahou Ying, he will not bear her, and General Xiahou is also over there, you still have to care about your husband." Meng Yan was relieved, he knew that the relationship between Haoyue and Xiahou Ying was not as simple as friends, and it was not an exaggeration to say that they were sisters after more than ten years of life on Lock Gate Island.

Relative to the harmonious atmosphere here and the killing atmosphere of husband and wife, there is a cold feeling in Xiao Yu and Xiahou Ying's new house, Xiao Yu is sitting alone at the round table, and Xiahou Ying is also wearing a strong suit and half leaning on the bed at this time to close her eyes and recuperate, Xiahou Ying's temperament is already cold, and she doesn't know what to say when she sees Xiao Yu's cold expression.

"You wait and follow Meng Yan out of the northern city as soon as possible after meeting with your General Xiahou, and then you will return to the army with General Xiahou to wait." Xiao Yu spoke first.

"I know you don't like me, and you don't want to marry me, marrying me is just to win over my father and you Xiao, don't worry, I won't hold you back, and I won't force you to do anything." Xiahou Ying said lightly.

"Don't you feel wronged?" Xiao Yu thought about it for a long time, and finally asked this question.

"Don't be wronged, I chose my own path, I liked you the day you went to the island, but I didn't force my father to ask to marry you, it was an accident." Xia Houying felt that she had to tell the truth no matter what, and she didn't want the two to have a misunderstanding, "And I never wanted to break up you and Sister Lan." ”

"I know it's not your problem, but now that the facts have been decided, I can't promise you anything, but I can guarantee that you are my Xiao Yu's wife, and no matter who you are, it won't change your status." Xiao Yu said frankly.

"That's enough for you to say that, thank you." Xia Hou Ying turned her head, still keeping her eyes closed, if Xiao Yu could look at Xia Hou Ying at this time, she would definitely be able to see the two lines of tears on Xia Hou Ying's face through the faint night light outside the window.

The two of them sat awkwardly like this, the hustle and bustle in the courtyard was still there, and I don't know how long it took, Xiao Cong's knock on the door sounded: "Childe, Mengyan's side has moved, and Chong's soldiers and horses have also come up around the mountain." ”

Xiahou Ying stood up and said, "I'm leaving, I'll wait for you in the camp!" After saying that, he opened the door and walked away quickly, not even paying attention to Xiao Cong's respectful "young lady".

Seeing Xiahou Ying's vigorous figure disappear above the courtyard wall, Xiao Yu sighed lightly: "Let's go, let's go and escort my uncle and them to the port." ”

Xiao Huli was escorted along the way and didn't want to believe that Chongsheng had such a black hand on him, until the Chong clan soldiers and horses rushed towards them in waves, and finally arrived at the port when the soldiers of the palace were almost unable to resist, and the soldiers and horses of Chongqi who had just arrived at the port also arrived, Xiao Yu said in his heart: "It is worthy of being the leader of the Chong clan, and he reacted so quickly!" ”

When the chaotic Zhongfu soldiers were inseparable from Chongqi's Zhanchuan army, someone shouted loudly: "Erlang is going to support Beicheng, Meng Yanli should break through the city in response to the outside world!" ”

Chongqi looked at Xiao Yu, who was constantly fighting, and said back and forth ruthlessly: "Tell my father to stand up for another hour, and Xiao Huli is in front of him." ”

Chongqi instantly used the return pistol, and the gun was pointed directly at Xiao Yu, just when Xiao Yu thought he was going to hang, a long sword stabbed over just to block Chongqi's return pistol, if the power of this long sword is usually not able to withstand the fatal blow of the return pistol, but Chongqi rushed to kill for a long time, plus his understanding of Xiao Yu's martial arts cultivation did not use all his strength, Xiao Yu followed the direction of the long sword stabbing and looked, it was Meng Yan, at this moment was happy and sad, happy that he escaped again, sad that this kid appeared in this northern city and definitely did not go out.

"What are you doing! Master, I finally managed to get the North City Gate and rushed back to save you! Meng Yan glared at Xiao Yu angrily.

"Dick! You scared me to death, I thought it was over at the North Gate! Xiao Yu scolded with a smile.

"Haha! I came to save you secondly, I want to feel the power of the prestige of the world's return pistol, it's really not weak, you hurry up, if you don't go, I won't be able to get out! Meng Yan drew his long sword and entangled with Chongqi.

"Then be careful! See you in town! Xiao Yu left decisively, he knew that his martial arts could only deal with some shrimp soldiers and crab generals, and he had no power to parry in the face of a master like Chongqi, so staying here was to add to the chaos.

When Xiao Yu just grabbed a ship, he only felt that the pressure behind him had doubled, and a special force suppressed everyone's play, Xiao Yu understood that this was Meng Yan's Jiuchen Gong, and he couldn't care so much and the guards urged Xiao Huli and his wife to board the ship quickly, and finally got on the ship safely and drove out of the port, Xiao Yu stood at the bow of the boat and watched Chongqi who was fighting with Meng Yan from a distance and half-knelt on the ground, the tension in his heart was relieved at once, this kid finally got Chongqi.

Meng Yan looked at Chongqi who was half-kneeling on the ground and spitting out a mouthful of blood, he was actually enduring it, such a large-scale Jiuchen Gong couldn't last long, fortunately, Chongqi was done, otherwise it was himself who fell, and secretly lucked his luck, and left the battlefield and rushed to Beicheng.

Chongqi stood up with difficulty with a gun and pestle, wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, and thought to himself, Mengyan's people had already rushed out of the northern city, which means that the soldiers and horses hidden outside the city of Xiao Huli outside the city would soon arrive in Wuyang City, and they had to take the elite and the clansmen out, otherwise they would be surrounded by the counter-surrounding, and said to the Zhanchuan army who was still fighting: "Withdraw!" Don't be in love! ”

Xiao Yu and Xiao Huli, who had just solved the crisis, did not rest after the report, and immediately asked Xiao Cong to prepare the ship to travel north, Meng Yan and Xiahou Ming would need at least ten days to attack Wuyang City, and the people on the ship could not wait for ten days, and the sea was not safe, so they had to find the ship of Dongyang City as soon as possible.

Before he could swim far, he heard a terrible cry in Xiao Huli's cabin, piercing the sky...
