Chapter 14, the scenery and scenery win the dowry
In the hall, all the guests looked at each other and whispered.
The movement outside was finally noticed by the guests, and they left the table to hide, and the scene was extremely chaotic.
Xia Sheng was among the guests, and his cronies reported: "Lu Qiniang has surrounded the Hou Mansion with a thousand cavalry, and right now, he is hitting the gate of the Hou Mansion." ”
On the side, Lu Taigong also frowned when he heard this, he knew that it must be a big deal to dispatch such an army so late.
Soon, in just two tea times, there was a boom, and the whole Hou Mansion heard a loud noise, which completely woke up everyone in the Hou Mansion.
The door collapsed in response, and Lu Zhaoyi was dressed in a red dress, which was particularly eye-catching, and appeared in the sight of all the guests.
Behind her, a thousand cavalry under the leadership of Shadow Moon Guard,
She rode a tall horse, her eyes widened, and the horse's hooves stepped on the broken gate of the Hou Mansion step by step, and entered the mansion.
This scene really made everyone dumbfounded.
And those guests were also dumbfounded, and their eyes were round.
"Big brother, I'm back, didn't expect it?" Lu Zhaoyi looked at Nanyang Hou with a shocked face, full of sarcastic expressions.
Seeing this, Lu Chengye stepped forward slowly, holding back his anger, "Seventh sister, what are you going to do?" ”
"Don't do anything!" She smiled lightly, "As long as you return all the dowry you received during the day to the Hanwang Mansion, every penny is not a small amount, and Qi Niang will let these thousand cavalry return the same way." ”
Who knows, Lu Chengye's face had an extremely complicated expression, his eyes flickered faintly, and he turned to a hammer, "Oh, you ......"
He pointed to Lu Zhaoyi's hand and kept shaking, "Say it earlier." Eldest brother, I also don't agree to this marriage, but my father ......"
Looking at his reaction, Lu Zhaoyi also guessed that she understood the temperament of this eldest brother, and she would definitely not dare to respond casually, it could only be the decision of the princess.
Thinking of this, her eyes looked into the crowd, "Father, please come forward and confront me, okay?" ”
Everyone in the Lu family turned their heads and looked sideways, and in the distance, Lu Taigong was hiding at the end, trembling.
"Father." Lu Zhaoyi shouted, "I know that my father's death was not instigated by you, and I also intended to let you go, but in this marriage, you are the master of my own affairs, have you ever thought about my anger at the moment?" ”
Since she ran away from marriage three years ago, whenever someone mentions marriage to her, it is touching her scales, and she is bound to go all out to ask for it.
When Lu Taigong heard this, he was even more frightened and shook his head uneasily.
Seeing his desperate expression, Lu Chengye turned around and hurriedly persuaded, "Seventh sister, don't persecute the eldest father anymore, if your behavior spreads, the Lu family will lose face, and your and my official career will definitely be damaged." ”
He looked around, and suddenly stretched out his hand to Xia Sheng, "You see that King Han is still there, we have returned the dowry, how about you withdraw your troops?" ”
"Not how!" Lu Zhaoyi was categorical.
"Who I, Lu Qiniang, marries is my business, and it has nothing to do with you. But how to return this dowry is up to me to decide! ”
"What are you going to do?" Lu Chengye's eyes flickered, and he actually had some schadenfreude, "You don't have to do it, the eldest brother will do it for you." ”
It's just that Lu Zhaoyi raised his hand and waved it lightly, dozens of tiger-faced riders rushed into the mansion, and carried them all out of the mansion one by one at the boxes of treasures, brocades, jewelry, and gold and silver devices in the courtyard.
There was a non-stop sound of objects colliding outside, and after all the dowries were carried out of the house, she shrugged her shoulders and chuckled at Xia Pei, "King Han, I'm frightened." ”
Instead, she said in a high-pitched tone, "Come on, escort King Han out of the mansion." ”
"Bold!"
The attendant beside King Han drew his sword in front of Xia Sheng, staring at Lu Zhaoyi fiercely.
"Who dares to touch my Highness?"
Depending on the situation, the two parties will soon have to make a move.
At this time, Xia Sheng patted the shoulder of the predecessor, and the attendant was slightly stunned, and turned to leave him a lot of space.
"Lu Qiniang, do you really hate this king so much?" Xia Sheng seemed a little lost, and a trace of sadness appeared in his eyes.
"If so, this king will be as you wish." After saying that, he abandoned his attendant and followed Shadow Moon Guard out of the house, but his attendant was stunned for a moment and hurriedly fled.
Outside, the dowry scattered all over the place also needs someone to clean it up.
Ying Feng looked disdainful and walked up to Xia Sheng, "His Royal Highness the Han King, the cleaning in front of the Hou Mansion can only be done by the people of your Han King Mansion. Don't worry, we are stationed here, and we will never let the people of the Hou Mansion take away a penny. ”
Hearing this, he smiled embarrassedly, and then beckoned the attendants and servants he had brought with him, and cleaned up the mess in this place.
However, within a few hours, the Nanyang Marquis Mansion returned to calm.
For a long time, Mrs. Hou Song Ying has never taken Lu Zhaoyi in her eyes, thinking that she is still a lady who was in charge of three years ago, but tonight's actions really frightened her too much, and it was difficult to calm down for a while.
Although Marquis Lu is a military general, he has read more or less sage books and is also a civil servant, and he never expected that his sister-in-law would have such courage and courage!
He has experienced countless storms in his life, but it is the first time that Lu Zhaoyi has acted with such fanfare!
Everything seemed to be out of control, and he didn't even know what to do, and the whole person sat in the chair sluggishly.
Song Ying paced around the room in a distraught manner, becoming more and more agitated.
"Master Hou, what should I do in the future? Are we really going to be crushed by Qi Niang? Song Ying couldn't hold back and slapped him, "You speak, you indulge her like this, act so recklessly, I'm afraid you and I will not be able to escape from it later." ”
Lu Chengye pondered for a long time, and immediately got up, "I'll go talk to her!" With that, he snatched the door and left.
This move frightened Song Ying again, got up and chased to the door, there was no trace of him, she could only go back to the house and sit down, her brain was beating suddenly, and it hurt.
……
The gate of the Hou Mansion was rebuilt by the Thousand Shadow Moon Guard, and the original broken gate was carried away, and a new, more solid, and less damaged gate was installed.
At the door, a chariot pulled by four military horses was parked steadily.
Lu Chengye passed through the crowd of Shadow Moon Guard, came to the outside of the chariot, and knocked on the curtain window on the chariot.
"Seventh sister, can we talk?" He asked in a low voice, his voice a little hoarse.
For a long time, no one paid attention to him.
He knocked again, and finally an indifferent voice came from inside, "If you have something to say, say it." ”
The curtain of the car was lifted, and Lu Zhaoyi revealed a face with a complicated expression, which really made people guess her heart.
Lu Chengye rubbed his hands and said in a suffrage, "Your actions tonight are indeed against common sense, there are so many guests at home, you don't care about your face, but you also have to think about me." ”
"This time, your sister-in-law is also overly frightened, looking forward to your future, don't make such a fuss, if it spreads again, it will be a misfortune for the family."
As he spoke, he paused, "Middle Father and Middle Mother, they must not want you to be like this in the Heavenly Spirit. ”
"Huh? Is the family unhappy? Lu Zhaoyi sneered, "As long as you don't touch my scales, and don't talk about my father and mother, I won't interfere with the river water with the Lu family's well water, and I won't make trouble for you." ”
With that, she lowered the curtain.
At this time, the gate of the new Hou Mansion had been re-installed by the Shadow Moon Guard, and the troops were being withdrawn.
Lu Chengye stood outside, looking at this majestic mansion, his mood was indescribably complicated, a gust of autumn wind blew, rolling up his clothes to hunt, quite a bit bleak and desolate.
Thousands of war horses were a sensation, and the chariot that Lu Zhaoyi was riding also stayed away with the thousand horses.
Looking at the direction where Qianqi had gone, Lu Chengye sighed and turned around and returned to the Hou Mansion.
……
This night is destined to be an unusual night.
Just as Lu Zhaoyi's 1,000 cavalry, on the way back to Luojing, there were undercurrents surging all over Luojing City.
News from all walks of life came to the palace overwhelmingly.
After a whole night's work, the court changed.
Before dawn, Xia Pei sat in the Taiji Hall and urgently convened the three princes and nine kings, as well as the generals above the fourth rank.
"Hu Wan's army is in the hidden city and arrives at the border of our DPRK. Previously, the Dongning Army attacked the Da Sima military camp in the middle of the night and rescued Zhou Gan, but now in an emergency, Your Majesty hopes to invite a military division to take charge again. ”
A military general about fifty years old respectfully reported, he is the general of Zhenguo, Han Xu.
He was one of the fierce generals in the Wugong period, extremely loyal to the Wugong, brave and good at fighting, once led 300 soldiers to defend the city, and repelled three waves of enemy attacks.
Because of his outstanding military exploits and the grace of heaven, since the opening of the new dynasty, he has been idle at home and has not entered the office.
The front line came to report, and when he heard that Hu Wan's army had raised troops to enter the country, he was even more worried, and ran into the palace without getting his clothes in order.
