Chapter 349: Brother and Sister Recognize Each Other
Feiyun listened to Ma Xiang's words and hurriedly asked, "Brother Ma, did you go to Nanyang Medical Center?" Is the girl in the hospital called Wu Qiucao? ”
Ma Xiang nodded and said, "Yes." Brother Lin, how do you know? ”
Feiyun immediately told Ma Xiang that they were the ones who left the hospital. The person Ma Xiang is looking for is none other than Miss Qingxiang. Ma Xiang was taken aback and hurriedly looked at Qingxiang.
Qingxiang also felt strange, she didn't know Ma Xiang at all, so she asked, "Ma Shaoxia, do you have anything to do with me?" ”
Ma Xiang hurriedly asked, "Miss Qingxiang, are you surnamed Ma?" More than 10 years ago, was someone in your family abducted? ”
Qingxiang said in surprise: "I am surnamed Ma." I heard my grandmother say that I had an older brother who was abducted more than 10 years ago. How do you know this? ”
Ma Xiang was excited, and hurriedly took off half of the jade pendant from his neck, and asked, "Qingxiang girl, did your grandmother say anything about half a jade pendant?" ”
Qingxiang was even more surprised when she saw Ma Xiang's half of the jade pendant. She hurriedly took the jade pendant from Ma Xiang's hand and looked at it carefully. Then she also took off half of the jade pendant from her neck, and compared it with Ma Xiang's half of the jade pendant, it was exactly the same.
Qingxiang saw that the two jade pendants were closed, and they could be closed without any gaps, which was obviously a jade pendant. Seeing this, Ma Xiang said excitedly: "Qingxiang, it seems that you are my sister, and I am your brother!" ”
Qingxiang didn't react for a while, and looked at Yu Pei blankly. After listening to Ma Xiang's words, she took a closer look at Ma Xiang's half of the jade pendant, and remembered that her grandmother had told her that her lost brother also had half a jade pendant, which was the same as the half of the jade pendant on her body.
Qingxiang was naturally pleasantly surprised, but she still couldn't believe it, and asked Ma Xiang: "Where did you get this half of the jade pendant?" ”
Ma Xiang knew that Qingxiang was a little suspicious, so he told Qingxiang that he had worn this half of the jade pendant since he was a child. He also pointed to the word Ma Xiang engraved on the jade pendant, saying that his name was based on this.
Ma Xiang also said that he also found Majia Village through the word Ma Xiang on the jade pendant, and found out that Qingxiang's family had lost a boy.
Qingxiang thought about it, and asked Ma Xiang if he knew how old he was when he was abducted. Ma Xiang told Qingxiang that he had just turned five years old when he was abducted. A month after he was abducted, he met the head of the Huashan faction in Huashan. The head of the wind rescued Ma Xiang and took himself as an apprentice.
Qingxiang heard her grandmother say that her brother was abducted when she was five years old, so she no longer suspects it. Qingxiang burst into tears, stood up, and shouted affectionately to Ma Xiang: "Brother! You've suffered! Then he bowed to Ma Xiang
Ma Xiang also burst into tears, bowed down and saluted back: "Sister, I finally found my relatives!" ”
When everyone saw it, they were stunned at first, and then they congratulated the two brothers and sisters on their reunion. Qingxiang and Ma Xiang hurriedly bowed and thanked everyone.
Ximen Shan knew that their brother and sister had not seen each other for more than ten years, and now that they had just met each other, they must have a lot to say. He asked Tianying to bring Ma Xiang, Qingxiang, Xia Feng, and Xiang'er to the next room so that they could talk.
After Ma Xiang and the others left, everyone was happy for Ma Xiang and the others, and naturally they kept talking. At this time, Li Xian and Princess Wei walked in. Seeing this, Ximen Shan and the others all stood up to greet each other.
Li Xian saw Feiyun, but he didn't sit down, he came directly to Feiyun and said, "Lin Shaoxia, if you have an urgent matter, please ask Shaoxia and all the heroes to help!" ”
Feiyun was stunned for a moment, and asked Li Xian not to worry, there was something to say slowly. Li Xian and Princess Wei sat down and told everyone what happened.
It turned out that Li Xian entered the palace today to meet Wu Zetian, and the mother and son had a conversation. Just as Li Xian was about to leave the palace, someone told the Khitan State in the northeast to send an envoy to deliver the credentials.
Wu Zetian then asked Li Xian and Princess Changping to stand on both sides, and then ordered Xuan to enter. Soon, a young man dressed as a Khitan entered the main hall, accompanied by two guards. After someone came to meet Wu Zetian, he handed over the credentials.
After Wu Zetian finished reading the national letter, he said: "You are Yelu Xingkong? The younger brother of the current Khitan king? ”
Yelu Xingkong nodded and replied, "Yes." ”
Wu Zetian said again: "Why did you marry my princess Da Zhou?" ”
It turned out that Yelu Xingkong had long heard that Princess Changping was as beautiful as a flower, a famous beauty in the capital, and a martial arts master. He came this time, firstly, in the name of submitting the credentials of the two sides to reconcile, to check the situation of the Zhou Dynasty, and secondly, he wanted to marry Princess Changping as his wife.
The Khitan State was not large, but only a vassal state of the Great Zhou. But it was a powerful helper for the Great Zhou to deal with the Turks. Wu Zetian naturally understood their intentions, but when it came to diplomatic relations, he could only be treated cautiously.
Yelu Xingkong said: "This prince is both civil and military, and he is naturally the princess's son-in-law. ”
When Princess Changping saw that a Fanbang barbarian wanted to marry her, she was furious and was about to attack. Hearing him claim to be both civil and military, the princess had an idea and said: "Yelu Xingkong, you call yourself both civil and military, so can you promise this princess one thing?" ”
Yelu Xingkong had only heard the name of Princess Changping, but had never seen the princess herself. At this moment, I saw a beautiful girl asking herself, and when she was standing beside Wu Zetian, she asked, "Who are you?" ”
The princess said: "I am Changping." ”
Yelu Xingkong hurriedly saluted and said, "This prince has admired the princess for a long time, and he is fortunate to see him today." I wonder what the princess wants me to promise? ”
Princess Changping said: "You claim to be an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, presumably your kung fu is good?" ”
Yelu Xingkong is also a top master in Khitan, and he is naturally extremely conceited, so he said: "That's natural, I haven't met an opponent since I finished studying." ”
The princess said, "Since you have confidence in yourself, it is better." I want you to fight in the capital for ten days, and if no one can defeat you within ten days, not only will I marry you, but I will also marry you one more county lord to you. ”
Jerod was overjoyed and asked, "Who is the other one?" ”
The princess smiled slightly and said, "The other one is the county lord of Luling Palace, she is known as the county lord of the first beauty of the Great Zhou. She's much prettier than me, and if you see her, you won't look down on me. If no one beats you within ten days, then you can marry two beauties in one fell swoop. But if you're defeated in ten days, don't even think about marrying anyone. What do you think? ”
Princess Changping is a member of the Wu family, so naturally she has no good impression of Li Xian. Although Li Bao'er is a few years younger than her, she is beautiful and beautiful, and is known as the first beauty of the Great Zhou, which makes Princess Changping very jealous.
Princess Changping knew that Li Xian had returned to Beijing, so it was naturally unfavorable for Wu Sansi to fight for the crown prince. She naturally wanted to help Wu Sansi and deal with Li Xian. The reason why she proposed to let Li Bao'er marry with her just now was purely to disturb Li Xian's mind.
Princess Changping naturally refused to marry the Khitan, she had already thought of a countermeasure and was sure to deal with Yelu Xingkong. When she said this, she also relieved Wu Zetian. In this way, there is no need for Wu Zetian to think about how to deal with the Khitan.
Li Xian listened, but was shocked. But he was cowardly in his life, and he didn't dare to offend Wu Zetian's popular Princess Changping. Although he was reluctant to give up his precious daughter, he didn't dare to object because he didn't know what Wu Zetian meant.
Yelu Xingkong had just boasted about himself, so naturally he couldn't slap himself in the face. At this moment, he could only grit his teeth and agree, unless he gave up his request to marry now.
Yelu Xing thought to himself, with his own skills and two guards, there may not be an opponent in the capital. What's more, there is another beautiful county lord, such an opportunity can't be easily given up, so he said: "This is okay, let the princess see the kung fu of our Khitan people." However, the man who came to fight must first defeat two of my guards before he can fight me. Lest any random person come up, I will have to take action myself. ”
Princess Changping nodded and said, "What you said is also reasonable, but after winning your guard, I will fight you again every other day, presumably you are not willing to pick up such a bargain." ”
Yelu Xingkong said: "This is natural, after he defeats my guards, I will continue to compete with him, even if I win, it is not a glorious thing." ”
The princess said, "Well, that's it." You go back and rest and get ready, and then start the day after tomorrow. After the princess finished speaking, she looked at Wu Zetian and motioned for her to agree.
Wu Zetian knew that Princess Changping must have her plans, and besides, it would save her own trouble.
Wu Zetian said to Yelu Xingkong: "Since you have already said it, I naturally have no objection. But if you lose, you can't talk about it again! Yelu Xingkong hurriedly agreed, and then left the palace.
After Yelu Xingkong left, Wu Zetian smiled slightly and asked, "Girl, why do you arrange it like this?" ”
Princess Changping said: "This person is too arrogant, I want him to know the martial arts of the Central Plains people, and I also want to grow up with the majesty of Changzhou!" At the same time, the imperial court can take advantage of this opportunity to recruit some masters of the rivers and lakes to enter the court as officials, which is a good thing to kill two birds with one stone, not to mention that the emperor does not have to bother about this matter! ”
Wu Zetian said worriedly: "What if no one wins against him?" ”
Princess Changping said: "The emperor can rest assured, the Central Plains Martial Arts Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger, there must be a master to appear." I heard that on the way to Beijing this time, King Luling got help from many masters of the rivers and lakes. These people naturally don't want the county lord of Bao'er to marry the Banbang barbarians, and they will definitely try their best to defeat that Yelu Xingkong. Lord, am I right? Please ask the emperor to make a decree tomorrow and announce it to the world. As long as anyone can defeat this Jerod, any sin committed can be forgiven, and in addition, he can be knighted and rewarded. ”
Wu Zetian looked at Li Xian and asked for his opinion. Li Xian saw that Wu Zetian had accepted Princess Changping's suggestion, so he naturally didn't dare to object. Wu Zetian immediately ordered people to post the imperial list in Luoyang and nearby to inform the nearby military and civilians of the incident.
After Li Xian and Princess Changping withdrew from the Jinluan Palace, Li Xian asked Princess Changping: "This person claims to be excellent in martial arts in Khitan, and he must really have two hits. What if, ten days from now, no one will be able to beat it? ”
Princess Changping smiled: "Then we can only accept our fate, and we can be regarded as sharing worries for the emperor!" For the sake of the emperor, this princess is willing to give everything, and the prince will not be reluctant to wrap up the county lord, right? ”
Li Xian hurriedly said that for the sake of Wu Zetian, he was naturally willing. In front of Princess Changping, he could only make such a statement. Otherwise, once Changping goes to Wu Zetian to slander, Li Xian may not be able to save his life.
