Chapter 54: Getting More and More Complicated
222
Why is there such a great war?
It turned out that after the immortals of the Western Regions chased after the dragons and the western people took away half of the sword spectrum, they came to see the prince of Po Ding, and saw that the prince was fascinated by love and couldn't afford to fall ill.
In a coma, he called the princess for a while, and then called for Zhuo Ermei.
The old lord knew about the princess, but not about Zhuo Ermei, so he asked what was the matter.
Someone told the old lord about Zhuo Ermei. Road:
"Judging from the current situation, although the prince can't get Princess Shenhou, it is also good to marry Zhuo Ermei to the prince."
Then the old lord asked Zhuo Ermei where he was.
Immortals of the Western Regions:
"It stands to reason that it should be in Baocheng, but it can't be said in her own hometown Wudouzhai."
The old Rong lord ordered a quick investigation.
When I inquired, I got the news that Zhuo Ermei was not in her hometown and her father was seriously ill.
The immortals of the Western Regions thought that it was inconvenient to go to Baocheng to arrest people.
Since Zhuo Ermei's father is seriously ill, how can the family not inform Zhuo Mei?
How could Zhuo Ermei not go home to visit?
After further investigation, I heard that Gatula's eldest son had gone out and had not returned.
knew that it must be the Wugu capital looking for Zhuo Ermei to report the news, so he and Man Yesu, that is, the black-robed general, brought people and horses to Wudou Village to ask for people.
Since Wudouzhai was under the rule of Lao Rong, and there were no decent soldiers and horses, he only brought fifty or sixty people.
When they went to Wudou Village to ask for people, they didn't want to kill the others, and they set fire to the village just to scare Nagatula and hope that he would hand over Zhuo Ermei.
Who knew that Zhuo Ermei and the others escaped through the back door.
They didn't know that Long Zixi was also in Wudou Village.
But there are many people in Wudouzhai, how can no one tell them the truth?
He also informed them of Long Zixi's illness and loss of combat effectiveness.
The two were overjoyed when they heard this, and they were relieved to chase after them, but they didn't expect that Long Zixi and others were saved by Wei Yi.
Since Wei Yi sent Long Zixi and the others away, he always felt that he was still unsatisfied, so he wanted to invite Long Zixi and the others to the cottage as guests when they returned.
So, Wei Cen was arranged to lead more than 30 people to wait along the road.
Sure enough, I really waited for Long Zixi and the others, but I didn't expect Long Zixi and others to be chased and killed, and they were very embarrassed.
Wei Cen was in a hurry, and while hurriedly arranging the tripping rope, he sent someone to report to his father.
Na Wei Yi was originally only seventy or eighty people, and when he heard that the other party only had about fifty people, he left twenty people to guard the village, and brought more than thirty people to reinforcements.
It was also thanks to him that he arrived in time and saved Long Zixi's life from the Manye Quick Knife.
Of course, Long Zixi didn't know about these things, and it was only later that they figured out the reason.
223
Let's say that the people of Longzixi were rescued by Wei Yi's father and son, and returned to Baocheng in danger.
Hurrying all the way, Long Zixi's illness was cured.
Back in Baocheng, Hua Dining immediately arranged for someone to inquire about the news of Wei Yi and Wudouzhai.
After a few days, they reported that Wei Yi and Wudouzhai were fine, and Long Zixi and Zhuo Ermei were relieved.
It's just that half of Long Zixi's sword spectrum was lost, and everyone felt a pity.
Also, the princess still hasn't arrived, and Long Zixi can't help but be restless, but he can't think about it.
On this day, Long Zixi was bored, and Third Brother Fang suddenly came to see Long Zixi, and he also led Brother Fang.
Long Zixi was taken aback:
"Brother Fang, why are you? When did Big Brother come? β
Brother Fang waved his hand:
Hugh asked. Hurry up and go with the eldest brother to meet someone, you will know. β
As he spoke, he picked up Long Zixi and left.
Long Zixi was puzzled, and he didn't ask much, as the Fang brothers went downstairs, someone had already brought the horse over.
Long Zixi thought to himself, it seems that the road is not close.
Sure enough, Brother Fang led the way and only cared about moving forward, but he went out of Baocheng, passed the camel Beizhuang, traveled about thirty or forty miles, came to a village and town in the north of the city, and got off the horse in front of an inn.
Brother Fang said:
"On the second floor, the third room on the left, brother go up by himself."
At this time, there was no need to say anything, Long Zixi went upstairs, found the room, and knocked lightly on the door.
Then I heard someone say,
"Is it Brother Zixi? Come in yet!"
Long Zixi pushed the door in, facing a person, who is not a princess?
It's just that she has reverted to the dress of Miss Tian again.
Long Zixi was overjoyed, and wanted to go over and pull her hand, but he hesitated and scratched the back of his head:
"Miss Tian, no, princess...... You're finally here! β
The princess smiled, but it was not as natural as before:
"I heard, have you brought your little beauty back? With the little beauty, are you still in such a hurry to see me? β
Long Zixi smiled shyly:
"Princess, don't make fun of my little brother. Tell me, what's going on these days? Didn't get any damage, did you? β
The princess sighed:
"There's a lot going on these days, it's unexpected. It's just that everything is fine, and my father and I are not harmed. By the way, sit back and listen to me tell you slowly. β
The two of them sat down at the table.
The princess said slowly:
"You say, what happened to King Xuan's announcement of my father's entry into Beijing this time? However, it was the Xirong Kingdom that allowed the prince to participate in the martial arts competition, and at the same time sent a special envoy to Beijing to discuss his relatives to King Xuan. King Xuan originally intended to agree to this marriage, but when he saw me, he changed his mind! β
Long Zixi's heart moved, could it be that King Xuan fell in love with the princess?
I wanted to ask and felt that it was inappropriate, so I didn't speak.
The princess glanced at Long Zixi and continued:
"Do you think that King Xuan has taken a fancy to me and wants to accept me as a concubine?"
Long Zixi nodded, thinking that the princess was really smart, and he guessed what he was thinking at once.
The princess continued:
"It's normal for you to think so. It's just that King Xuan has already married my aunt, how can he marry me again? He took a fancy to me, but he wanted to marry me to the crown prince-Gongni. Alas. β
Long Zixi was taken aback and blurted out:
"Isn't it bad for the crown prince-Gong Ni?"
After asking, I felt that this question was very naΓ―ve, and I didn't regret it.
The princess smiled wryly:
"Then Prince Gong Ni is a talent, what's wrong? I married him, now I am the crown princess, and I will be the queen in the future. Isn't that bad, you say? You're not happy for me?"
Long Zixi had nothing to say for a while, but he knew that the princess was in pain in her heart, so she simply didn't speak.
I only heard the princess say again:
"The king declared this will, but my father opposed it. My father said to King Xuan that Xirong is an important ethnic group in the northwest of our country, and its power is growing day by day. There is even more Prince Badin who has won the competition, and if we go back on our word, we are only afraid of angering Xirong and being detrimental to our dynasty. β
Longzi West Road:
"If that princess is not you, Shen Hou's opinion is indeed a golden stone."
The princess sighed again:
"Isn't it? Don't say it, King Xuan was almost moved by his father's words, who knows, he had a business trip again. β
Long Zixi didn't speak, and listened to the princess continue:
"Later, King Xuan brought the prince of the palace to the palace and told him that he originally wanted to marry the daughter of Shen Hou to you, but now there is a reason for it, I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve, see what your opinion is?
"The prince of Gongnei saw me, but said to King Xuan, I have long heard that the daughter of Shen Hou is beautiful and virtuous, and when I see it today, it is really extraordinary, it is called my heart, I can't say, I have to marry the daughter of Shen Hou!
"Isn't that a problem, alas?"
Long Zixi listened, not only happy for the princess to take a fancy to the two princes, but also felt that the princess was like a treasure being fought over, I don't know how the princess felt in her heart!
At that moment, he also sighed.
The princess continued:
King Xuan was hesitant, and there was another father of Yu Shi, who was the doctor in the palace, shaking his head, saying that Prince Ding was an outsider, and Prince Gong Ni was a close relative.
"What do you say, the monarchs of the Zhou Dynasty all took Jiang Nu as their wives, but they were married from generation to generation, and the prince married the daughter of Shen Hou, which was not only in line with the ancestral system, but also very commensurate.
He advised the king that the prince of Gongne, as the prince, was the lord of the future.
"Getting a virtuous woman and having a mother in the world is the luck of my Great Zhou, the luck of all the people, and the prince is smart and strong, since the world is peaceful, how can you be afraid of the chaos of the barbarians?"
When Long Zixi heard the word Yu Shifu, he suddenly remembered, it turned out to be the Yu Shifu who accompanied the Tu Daren?
If it was really him, this person was full of wealth and spoke very powerfully, and it was very easy to convince King Xuan.
Sure enough, the princess said:
"This Yu Shi's father said that he actually moved King Xuan.
"It's just that King Xuan still has doubts and asks everyone, what about the Xirong Kingdom?
"It's this father again, he said, this is easy, and then choose another good woman for the prince of Na Ding.
"In addition, if you give more money and beautiful women to the old man, the old lord will definitely accept it with joy.
King Xuan asked if there was a candidate?
"That Father Shishi, alas, actually spoke of this man!"
When Long Zixi heard this, he hurriedly asked:
"Who is it?"
The princess said slowly:
"It's Zhuo Ermei!"
Long Zixi cried out:
"Huh?! This, this ......"
In fact, when Father Yu Shi said Zhuo Ermei, he was also helpless.
Because the Xirong Kingdom saw that it was impossible to negotiate with Princess Shenhou, they thought of Zhuo Ermei again, and sent the Western Regions Immortals and Manye to Wudouzhai to ask for people but they were very dissatisfied.
There was already a book under the father of Yu Shi, saying that Zhuo Ermei was originally from Rong, but he was abducted by Long Zixi, a citizen of the Great Zhou State, and asked the Great Zhou State to be responsible for finding the people back.
Father Yu Shi had no way to say that he would replace the princess with Zhuo Ermei, just according to the old lord's wishes.
Long Zixi was taken aback when he heard this.
224
Just then, the door was slammed open.
Hayami Zhuo Ermei rushed in, threw himself into Long Zixi's arms, and shouted:
"I don't do it! I don't do it! I want to follow Brother Long forever! β
As he spoke, he began to cry loudly.
Immediately afterwards, the two brothers of the Fang family and Lu Yixiang also chased into the room.
Brother Fang looked guilty:
"I'm sorry for the princess and the young man, Miss Zhuo Ermei heard that you are here, and she has to come in to see the young man, I didn't dare to stop it, I can't think of it, alas!"
Everyone didn't know what to do for a while.
Long Zixi stroked Zhuo Ermei's shoulder:
"Well, if they just say that, it may not come true. Besides, my brother must not leave you alone, I ...... I must marry you! β
After speaking, I felt that the princess was on my side, and what I said must have made the princess very sad, and I felt remorseful.
glanced at the princess, but couldn't take much care of it.
The princess was not annoyed, but both nodded and shook her head:
"You're finally willing to say that to a girl! It's a pity that this is not a ...... Well, if you really want to, let's think of a perfect solution. β
After a while, the princess beckoned everyone to sit down.
Zhuo Ermei stopped crying, but refused to leave Long Zixi's arms no matter what, and Long Zixi simply hugged her gently.
Suddenly I remembered:
"You, how did you know I was here?"
Lu Yixiang looked ashamed:
"Blame me for this, brother! I happened to see Shaoxia and the two Fang brothers out of the store, just in time to catch up with Miss Zhuo Ermei looking for you everywhere, I said it for a while, and Miss Zhuo Mei pestered me to accompany her to find you.
"We also stumbled upon you.
"Just now, Miss Zhuo Ermei had to come up to you, the three of us looked at the young man's face, and it was inconvenient to stop her, but who knew that she heard such a news. Hi! β
The princess glanced at Lu Yixiang and said softly:
"No wonder Brother Lu, sooner or later, Zhuo Ermei will know about this matter. It is better to know earlier, and we can take countermeasures as soon as possible. β
Brother Fang said:
"All the thoughts of the prince are only on the princess, Zhuo Ermei is not Han, and he ......"
I wanted to say that she was not as talented as the princess, but I immediately changed my words:
"I don't have an official background, but I'm afraid that I don't know if I don't accept it. In this way, it is not without a turning point. β
Third Brother Fang shook his head:
"I heard the princess say that King Xuan has agreed, and he will issue an order in the near future to declare Zhuo Ermei to enter Beijing. It is said that King Xuan is asking for someone from the relative of Miss Zhuo Ermei. If it really wills, I'm afraid no one can do it. β
Ryuko Nishiya said:
"Hearing what the princess said, then, the Western Regions Immortals and Manye quickly went to Wudou Village, and naturally went to find Zhuo Ermei. Both sides have this intention, but how is it good? β
The princess suddenly said:
"Forget it. We'll figure it out. Let's go into the city and discuss the matter of Aunt Xi's children first, and the Zixi brothers are afraid that they can't wait for a long time. β
Actually, Long Zixi has been thinking about this all the time.
It's just that when I saw the princess, I was very troubled when I saw the princess, so I didn't mention it.
When I heard that the princess had broken through her heart, I was a little embarrassed:
"So, there's Princess Lao!"
225
After a while, he came to the mansion of Prince Hong De early, Hua Dining, Huoyunqi and everyone arrived, and even the cookie general also came.
Everyone met for a while, and they didn't say much, but they all knew that the princess must have made a plan, and listened to how the princess arranged.
The princess spoke first:
"This matter has a lot of twists and turns, and some friends may not know much about it. I would like to ask Third Brother Fang to give you an introduction first. β
Third Brother Fang hugged his fist at everyone:
"Then I'll introduce it first. In the lower mouth is stupid, there are untruths and unclear points, and the princess is asked to correct or supplement. β
Present said:
"It happened in July last year.
"As you know, Zixi Shaoxia has an uncle, that is, Chen Du Chen Yiguo, and Shaoxia's aunt childhood sweetheart, but that aunt was recruited into the palace by King Xuan, making it difficult for the two of them to become dependents.
Later, the two did private things and had this child.
"In order to cover up the ugliness, the palace only said that a slave was pregnant without a husband, and it took decades to give birth, and a monster was born, so he sent someone to throw the child into the Wei River.
Fortunately, the child's life should not have been extinguished, but it was the Huadining brothers who saved the child's life.
"By the way, I'll ask Brother Hua Dining to talk about the rest of the matter."
Hua Dining Road:
"Not bad. It was also a coincidence that the child was indeed saved by me, and I was being chased and killed by officers and soldiers, and there was no milk to feed him, so I gave the child to a man named Jida, who lived in the camel Nanzhuang in the south near Baocheng. Next, it was the princess who had to say it. β
The princess nodded at Huoyunqi.
Huoyun Qi said:
Then I'll go on.
"At that time, the princess, in the name of 'jade-faced hot hands', took our five brothers and was ordered to hunt down Chen Du, but found that Chen Du was dead, but the child may still be alive.
"Because Chen Du has a great affection for the princessβand this is needless to sayβthe princess has the intention of finding the child to protect her.
"After several twists and turns, we finally found out that the child was in the family.
"Some of my friends have experienced the next thing, so they naturally know.
"We rescued the child before Yin Jifu, transferred her to a secret place, sent someone to take care of her, and just last month, there was news that the child was fine.
"Just ......"
When Long Zixi heard "just", his heart tightened.
But he listened to Huoyun Qi say:
"It's just that the child suffered a little bit of a cold and coughed badly, and now eighty percent of them are better."
Long Zixi let out a long sigh, but he was still relieved, eager to see the child now.
Huoyun Qi said again:
"Originally, we replaced the child with Yin Jifu's granddaughter with the plan of transferring flowers and trees, but King Xuan didn't know it, thinking that the child was dead, and Chen Du was also dead, so the matter was over.
However, after Yin Qiu inherited Yin Jifu's title, in order to avenge his children and Yin Jifu, he told King Xuan the truth, and what nonsense did he say, such as today's unevenness, it was all strange that the demon girl was still alive in the world.
The king believed that it was true, and ordered him to investigate the matter, and to take the child's life.
"In this way, it will be more difficult to protect her than before!"
The princess coughed lightly and said:
"Exactly. Because of this, considering that Yin Qiu has many eyes and ears, for the sake of safety, I have not told Shaoxia the true whereabouts of the child, and I hope that Shaoxia is not to blame. β
Longzi West Road:
"The princess took good care of that child, and that was a blessing she had cultivated for several lifetimes. I've thanked my uncle here! It's just, what do we do next? β
Princess Says:
"My idea is to let Shaoxia meet that kid, so that you can rest assured. Then, we'll move her around. In Baocheng, it is really dangerous. β
Lv Yixiang said:
"Where the hell is the kid now? Where is the princess going to transfer her again? β
The princess groaned:
"That kid isn't too far away from here, and I haven't thought about where to move next."
Hua Dining Road:
"I wonder how the princess is going to let the young man go to see the child? Let's make some preparations in the future. β
The princess thought for a moment and said:
"This one is harder again.
"As Huo Daxia said just now, Yin Qiu was ordered to track down the baby girl.
He recruited a group of people from the rivers and lakes for his use, and even several major gangs such as Taiyuan Jigang, Jingnan Yang Pu, and Tianshan Muwan became his minions, and they laid a lot of eyeliner.
"The reason why I came to praise this time is so late, one is ...... I was delayed in the palace for a while, and then I came by detour and walked for a few more days. β
When Long Zixi heard the princess say this, he felt that the princess had taken a great risk by coming to praise her this time.
Suddenly remembered:
"Why don't you see those heroes with you?"
Princess Says:
"It's a long story. Do you know how I won the country, and what happened? β
Some of the people present had heard Huo Yunqi roughly say it, but no one spoke, and even the uninformed shook their heads.
226
The princess said slowly:
"The ancestor of Shen is from the surname Jiang, and he is one of the four heroes who helped King Wu to achieve the world.
"After King Wu became Zhou, he sealed a large piece of land west of today's Haojing, east of Qindi, and Xirong to the ancestors, and gave the country the name of Shen, intending to borrow the courage of the ancestors to reject Xirong.
"In the early days of King Xuan, because my father was quite talented and made great contributions to the Zhou Dynasty, coupled with the frequent disturbances in the north of the Chu State, he added a place to the north of the Chu State, called Nanshen, which is the Xie City that everyone has been to.
"My father used to live in Nanshen, but in recent years, Xirong was about to move, King Xuan was very worried, seeing that there was no movement in the Chu country, this time he entered Beijing, so he asked my father to return to Xishen and reorganize it to prevent Xirong from invading eastward."
Hong Dejun sighed:
"In the big Zhou Dynasty, how many people are so loyal as Shen Hou? Shen Hou is very talented, but how can he resist the enemy in all directions? It can be seen that the world is worried! β
The princess also sighed:
"Isn't it? But the father is the king's wife and uncle, how can he excuse himself? is loyal again, so he had to go to Xishen to return to China.
"But I was worried that because of the marriage change, Xirong would not be good for my father, so I asked the four escorts of the 'Five Elements' to escort my father back to Shen, leaving only Brother Huo alone to accompany me.
"Prince Gongnei couldn't rest assured of me, and asked Fang Daxia to escort me together.
"Fortunately, we came here in disguise, so there were no accidents."
Long Zixi had never seen her so careful since he knew the princess, and he felt more and more that things were far from being as simple as he thought.
I thought to myself, it seems that even if I want to see that child, I am afraid it will take a lot of trouble.
I can't help but feel heavy.
Huoyun Qi Dao:
"Rao is like this, we have also seen a lot of suspicious things along the way, I am afraid that Yin Qiu has already strengthened our surveillance."
Hua Dining nodded:
"Yes! Do the Zixi brothers remember? The eldest brother told you last time that there were a lot of people in Baocheng, and it seems that they must be Yin Qiu's subordinates! β
Long Zixi nodded.
Everyone felt that the matter was complicated for a while, and there were no words.
