Chapter 355, The Golden Incense Burner

On the official road to Zijunzhou, Tang Jiusheng didn't dare to stop, and led everyone to hurry overnight. At this time, Cheng Zifei and Yu Dongzhi took six guards from Pingxi Wangfu to open the road in front, three carriages were in the center, fifty personal cavalry from Pingxi Wangfu were guarded left and right, and Lu Fangping was broken with ten personal cavalry, but fortunately, there were few pedestrians on the official road at night, and the convoy was non-stop, rushing all the way to the direction of Zijunzhou.

At this time, Tang Jiusheng, Shui Ruyue, Ximen Yushuang, and Ximen Yuxue sat in the same carriage, the carriage was specially made, not to mention on the official road, even on the rugged mountain road, it would not feel bumpy, and Ximen Yuxue's four attendants were arranged in another carriage.

The carriage that Ximen Yuxue rode in was specially built for her by Yin Quan, with spacious interior space and luxurious decoration, excellent sound insulation effect on the four walls, and the whole carriage was filled with an elegant fragrance. Tang Jiusheng saw that this incense burner was exquisite, and he was very interested, and only after asking did he know that this lotus incense burner was specially customized by Yin Quan in the official kiln of Yuezhou for Ximen Yuxue, which was worth a thousand gold.

The green glazed lotus incense burner is divided into two parts, the upper part is four layers of lotus, each layer of lotus twelve petals, symbolizing twelve months of the year, there are four petals engraved with the four words of Ximen Yuxue, on the top of the cover is a small crane, holding its head high, flapping its wings and looking into the distance, occasionally spewing out a little subtle aroma in the mouth, the lower part of the incense burner is an oval abdomen, five-clawed tiger feet, standing steadily.

On the top of the carriage hangs a luminite in a glass lampshade, which is not too bright, and if it is not in use, there is a small bird mechanism on the wall of the carriage, and if you twist the bird's head, the luminite will be put away. Tang Jiusheng heard that the incense smoker was already worth a thousand gold, and couldn't help but look around at this luxurious carriage, and sighed secretly in his heart, the Zhumen wine and meat that Lao Du said in the previous dynasty stinks, and it is true that there are frozen bones on the road.

Twenty taels of silver is enough for a family of four to have enough food and clothing for a year, and to build such an incense smoker, it will consume the living expenses of hundreds of families of four for a year. Tang Jiusheng couldn't help but think of the emperor who was far away in the capital, Yin Guang lived a simple life, and the civilian clothes on his body hadn't been changed for several years, and then looked at the graceful and luxurious Princess Pingxi in front of him, Tang Jiusheng was even more determined to get rid of the Pingxi King Yin Quan's belief.

Tang Jiusheng saw Ximen Yuxue for the first time, and couldn't help but look up and down at the princess of Pingxi, who was known as the first beauty of the big business, Ximen Yuxue's long hair was elegant, melon seed face, willow leaf eyebrows, phoenix eyes, nose was upturned, small mouth was red, hands were soft, skin was like clotted fat, graceful body, well-proportioned, one point was too thin, one point was too fat, eyebrows were affectionate, and the face was full of spring, no wonder it could make Pingxi King Yin Quan shocked, and King Zhou Yin Ao couldn't sleep at night.

At this time, Ximen Yuxue had just escaped the tiger's mouth, feeling ashamed and ashamed, and her face was slightly haggard, but when she saw the third sister who she hadn't seen for a long time, she was still excited in her heart, and after learning that it was the third sister and her brother-in-law who forcibly broke into the Zhou Wangfu to rescue herself, she was even more grateful in her heart, and nodded secretly, fortunately she supported the third sister to escape from marriage, otherwise how could she escape from the tiger's mouth today?

Ximen Yuxue couldn't help but look at his brother-in-law Tang Jiusheng who was sitting in front of him, only to see that he was wearing a scribe's uniform, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a straight nose and thin lips, his face was sharp and angular, his aura was lofty, and he was indescribably chic and graceful, even if he was sitting in the car, he would not leave a big sword behind his back. The scholar with the sword on his back looks even more handsome.

Ximen Yushuang had comforted the second sister a lot before, and Ximen Yuxue's heart also settled down, and she was no longer as afraid as she was when she was in King Zhou's mansion. Tang Jiusheng and Shui Ruyue didn't despise Ximen Yuxue because she was insulted by Yin Ao, Tang Jiusheng only said, "It's good to survive, I'm really afraid that Yin Ao will be angry and poison you, no matter what, human life comes first!"

Ximen Yuxue couldn't help but think of her husband Yin Quan, the same face as a crown of jade, the dignified King of Pingxi, it seems that in Yin Quan's eyes, human life is the most worthless thing, as long as he wants to get something, even if it is just for a stone, he can not hesitate to order killing, without mercy.

Looking at Tang Jiusheng's warm smile, Ximen Yuxue sighed for no reason, although she was Yin Quan's wife, she had nothing to do with him, Yin Quan was keen on power and did not listen to persuasion, and once said publicly that the reason why I can kill people like hemp today and make everyone in the world fear is precisely because of the royal power in my hands, otherwise I will be worthless. To be able to make the enemy suffer, this is the happiness of my Yin Quan!

After many days of fright and exhaustion, Ximen Yuxue was tired, and soon snuggled into his sister's arms and fell asleep, Ximen

Yushuang smiled sweetly and hugged the second sister, although the second sister had already numb her shoulders, she was still reluctant to move, she was afraid of waking the second sister.

No matter what, the second sister will always be the second sister, although the second sister has a weak personality and can't do everything. But when he ran away from marriage, there was a huge Simon family, and only the second sister and the second brother supported him to escape from marriage.

The second sister said to herself in private that although marrying Yin Quan is powerful and status, there is no love, in Yin Quan's eyes, she is just an item, a personal item belonging to Yin Quan, an item that can be shown off to others. Yin Quan just wants to show off to others, he married the first beauty of Dashang. Ximen Yushuang felt sorry for her second sister, so she wanted to marry love, but fortunately, she was lucky and met Tang Jiusheng on the way to escape from marriage.

Who said that all this was not fate? Ximen Yushuang looked at Tang Jiusheng with a smile. At this time, Shui Ruyue was already asleep, leaning on Tang Jiusheng's shoulder, Tang Jiusheng didn't dare to move, turned around, looked at Ximen Yushuang, who also didn't dare to move, the couple looked at each other and smiled, everything was silent.

At dawn, Cheng Zifei and others, who were taking the lead in the front, stopped their horses, only to see that there were meteor scouts from Zijunzhou in front of them, and hundreds of cavalry led by Wang Changlong far behind.

It turned out that after Du Ruo arrived in Zijun Prefecture, he explained to Wu Yuanzhi, who had been promoted to the county guard, that Tang Jiusheng went to ask the King of Zhou in Caoyang County to ask for someone, and there was a possibility of conflict with the King of Zhou.

At this time, the meteor scout came back to report that Wei Wang Chitose and others had escaped and were on the way to Zijunzhou, and a hundred cavalry had joined the prince's team, and now it was less than a hundred miles away from the state city. Du Ruo, Tie Dun, Wu Yuanzhi and others breathed a sigh of relief, and even Shen Xiaoyu, who was arrested as a maid, was very happy.

Wu Yuanzhi immediately ordered and began to prepare meals, preparing to wash the dust for the princess and princess, and by the way, to suppress the shock for Princess Pingxi. In the afternoon of the next day, Tang Jiusheng entered the city with a convoy that had been running wildly all night and a whole morning, and the people poured into the streets to watch the car of King Wei, which was really empty.

When the horsemen arrived at the safe zone, they all dismounted and rested tiredly, and some fell to the ground and fell asleep. You know, along the way, I have changed horses twice for nearly 300 miles, but people haven't been rested, how can you not be tired?

Du Ruo and Wu Yuanzhi led people out of the county guard yamen, if it weren't for the eyes of everyone outside, Du Ruo really wanted to throw himself into Tang Jiusheng's arms. Tang Jiusheng saw Du Ruo's warm eyes, and his heart was very warm. Entering the flower hall of the back house of the county guard yamen, everyone had a full meal. Along the way, I rode on horseback and hastily ate some dry food. Even Ximen Yuxue in the carriage was exhausted, not to mention the soldiers who couldn't get off the horse.

After two days of adjustment in Zijunzhou, Tang Jiusheng said goodbye to Wu Yuanzhi, regardless of Wu Yuanzhi's repeated retention, led people to the fiefdom of Jiannan Road, entered Jiannan Road, and the first stop was Dangyang County.

Gao Chongyang, Han Laosan and Liu Ruqing, who got the news, led a team out of the city for five miles to greet them on the official road, and the county magistrate also took the county officials and squires out of the city to kneel at the city gate to greet them, and in the squire team, there was an old acquaintance of Tang Jiusheng, Zhu Dachang, the master of the Black Tiger Gate.

Zhu Dachang heard that Tang Jiusheng had arrived at Jiannan Road, and his first stop was to Dangyang County, he was really scared, and his soul was scattered, his son Zhu Juxian had been against Tang Jiusheng, and he was really afraid that Tang Jiusheng would be angry with him.

Gao Chongyang saw Tang Jiusheng, took Han Laosan, Liu Ruqing and others to respectfully dismount, and kowtowed on the side of the road: "Humble Gao Chongyang, Han Zhili, and Liu Ruqing lead all the garrisons of Dangyang to see King Wei Chitose!"

Tang Jiusheng hurriedly jumped off the horse and helped Gao Chongyang and the others up, Tang Jiusheng smiled and punched Gao Chongyang, and scolded: "Gao Chongyang, you guy, you are not kind! We grew up together with bare butts, you also came with me? It's too much!"

Gao Chongyang bowed his head and replied respectfully: "Wei Wang Chitose, this is the etiquette system of the imperial court, Gao Chongyang does not dare to violate it!"

Tang Jiusheng shook his head, "Gao Chongyang, since you say so, then this king will give you privileges in the future, and you don't have to make a big salute when you see this king, so it's always okay, right?"

Gao Chongyang replied respectfully: "Thank you Lord Wang!" Only then did he return to the state of a hippie smile, and punched Tang Jiusheng fiercely, "Old Tang, you are really scared to death for me, just like this, Lord Wang! My God, I never dreamed that my brother would one day become the prince of the Great Shang Kingdom! Oh my God, oh my God! I have the confidence to go out and brag with others in the future, rub!"

Tang Jiusheng rubbed Gao Chongyang's hair, and scolded with a smile: "You guy, you're really good!" looked back at Han Laosan with a restrained face, "Old Han, are you still used to it here?"

Han Laosan hurriedly bowed, "Lord, the humble duty will not be abandoned by the prince, coming to Dangyang, very suitable for the environment here, being able to serve the country in the army, is my Han Laosan's dream for many years, and now it has come true, I Han Laosan is very happy! Please rest assured, I, Han Laosan, will never disappoint the expectations of the prince, and will work hard to lead good soldiers, repay the prince, and repay the court!"

Tang Jiusheng said with a smile: "That's right! There will be no seeds, and men should be self-reliant!"

Han Laosan quietly poked Gao Chongyang beside him, "Hey, Lao Gao, what did my old Han say today, you can't always laugh at me for being illiterate, saying that I can't beat a fart with eight poles, you see, at the critical moment when I see the prince today, I can also hit two farts!" Everyone laughed wildly.

Tang Jiusheng greeted Liu Ruqing with a smile, and everyone followed Tang Jiusheng to the county seat. Dangyang, the magistrate of the county, is new, less than three months after taking office, surnamed Tong, named Tong Yushan, the top three with the Jinshi, full of poetry and books, but there is no one in the court, so he was selected to be the magistrate of Dangyang.

Tong Yushan had the courage to invite King Wei to the county government to rest his horse, Tang Jiusheng readily agreed, and took everyone to live in the county office, and Zhu Dachang also came to ask Tang Jiusheng to say goodbye, wanting Tang Jiusheng to rest in his other courtyard. Tang Jiusheng simply arranged for Ximen Yuxue to take her guards and attendants to live in the Zhu family's courtyard, not looking at Ximen Yushuang's face, he really didn't want to take a second look at the people in Pingxi Palace.

That night, Tang Jiusheng and his three wives who stayed in the county government overnight, plus Tong Zhixian, Gao Chongyang, Han Laosan, Liu Ruqing, Wang Changlong and others were drinking tea and chatting in the flower hall, and suddenly heard someone outside the window moving their hands, and the shouting was Cheng Zifei and Lu Anping. Immediately, I heard a woman shouting loudly: "Tang Jiusheng, get out of here! I want to compete with you!"

Cheng Zifei, who was working with this unknown woman, said angrily: "What are you?

The woman also scolded back: "I, you two are just dogs who show Tang Jiusheng the gate, and dare to bite people?"

Everyone in the room looked at each other, Gao Chongyang was furious, stood up and strode out of the flower hall, and asked, "Who dares to break into the county government at night?" Tang Jiusheng and everyone followed, only to see a young woman with a pale face who was making a move with Cheng Zifei and Lu Fangping. The woman fought with her bare hands, attacking more and defending less.

When Tang Jiusheng saw the woman, he couldn't help laughing, and shouted, "Stop!" Cheng Zifei and Lu Fangping heard the prince shouting, and hurriedly jumped out of the circle, standing aside and gasping.

The woman looked at the two of them and said contemptuously: "Two rice buckets!" Cheng Zifei was furious, and was about to step forward with a knife, but the woman glared and said, "Two people are not afraid of beating an old lady, are you still afraid of you alone?"

Tang Jiusheng said with a smile: "Okay, Zifei retreat, I know this person." Long Zilan, what are you doing all the way to Jiannan Road?" It turned out that this woman was Long Zilan, the master of the Demon Qin Valley who Tang Jiusheng rescued in the Zhou Palace.

Long Zilan snorted, narrowed her eyes and replied: "Tang Jiusheng, they all say that you have high martial arts, I haven't fought with you, how can I be convinced?"

Tang Jiusheng smiled dumbly and said, "Long Zilan, you are too strange! I saved you in the Zhou Palace, not to mention the gratitude of the Emperor, you have no reason to chase me to Jiannan Dao to beat me, right?"

Long Zilan said with a smile: "Tang Jiusheng, when I meet young masters, I always can't help but make a move with them, you are now the most famous young master in the rivers and lakes, who will I fight if I don't beat you?"

Tang Jiusheng hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop her, "Okay, okay, let's fight tomorrow, let's go to Tongque Mountain to fight, don't tear down other people's county offices!"
