CHAPTER XIII
The customs of marriage in Beishu are different from those of Xiang Guo, Xiang Guo is the words of the matchmaker of the parents, while the Beishu Kingdom is often decided by the children themselves. The Beishu royal family is slightly different from ordinary people, and the princess's marriage is often related to the interests of the royal family, so it is not only the princess who likes it, but also the Beishu royal family. The princess of the Beishu royal family is seventeen years old to the age of marriage, one year in advance, the princess can send a pro-post, and the person who obtains the pro-post is eligible to be hired by the Beishu royal family, and then the Beishu royal family selects a suitable one as the princess's concubine. It has been more than 300 years since the founding of the North Shu Kingdom, and this tradition has never changed.
The second princess went to Beishu this time in order to get a kiss post. If it can be married to Beishu, the heavy troops deployed in the north of Xiang State can be transferred to the south and west.
Jiang Anlin heard that he had already received the pro-post, and immediately became curious, and begged the second princess: "Little aunt, can you show me the pro-post to open your eyes?"
The second princess smiled: "I knew you wanted to see it." So saying, he ordered the person to take the note. Jiang Anlin took a look at it, it was a palm-sized gold medal, with the word "Shu" engraved in the middle of the front and carved patterns around it. The back is engraved with the words "Eldest Princess Muxiu". Jiang Anlin looked disappointed: "It's as simple as that?"
The second princess smiled and said: "What do you think? Is it difficult to write the eldest princess's birthday or something? Beishu etiquette is very simple, but there is not so much red tape in our big country." ”
Jiang Anlin returned the pro-post to the second princess and continued to ask, "Little aunt, who do you say this pro-post will be given to?"
The second princess said: "It depends on the father's intentions, I just have to take the pro-post back, and I don't care about the rest." The second princess saw Jiang Anlin's expression of wanting to speak, and couldn't help asking, "Xiao Linzi, do you have anything else to say?"
Jiang Anlin hesitated and said, "Little aunt, I shouldn't have talked too much about this. But I still want to remind you. ”
"Oh, what's the matter?"
Jiang Anlin leaned slightly towards the second princess, and said in a low voice, "Lord Feng and Lord Lei are looking forward to your return......
※※※
The second peacemaker and Aemon have been guarding this road for two days. Eamon has been going crazy by the "noise" of the second peacemaker in the past two days, he regrets not calling Xiaotong together, if Xiaotong is here, there must be a way to make the two of them quiet. Aeon didn't know what the second peacemaker was, but when he went to Zhengzhou with Yue Xian two years ago, he saved the two of them from several killers. Those in black clothes and white hair are called river gods, who are good at using poison, and those in white clothes and black hair are called Shi Nong, who are proficient in medicine. The two were originally twin brothers, the river god took his father's surname, and Shi Nong took his mother's surname. From childhood to adulthood, these two often fought over who was the boss. Ever since Yue Xian saved the two of them, the two of them had been following Yue Xian.
At this time, the two elders quarreled because of how to solve the poison of the Buddha flower, and Aemon was quarreled with one of the first two big, and dropped a sentence: "When people come, call me", and then ran to a cave to sleep, he knew that although these two old men usually messed around, they would never make a mistake.
The two peacemakers were arguing fiercely, and three horsemen galloped over, one in front wearing a gray shirt, and the two in the back wearing a brown shirt. The location of the two elders of the peace is a mountain road leading to the capital, which has become a "line of sky", and only allows two carriages to pass side by side. The two peacemakers crossed two big trees in the middle of the road, one of them stood and quarreled with each other. Seeing the three horses approaching, they just ignored it.
The three men approached, reined in their horses' heads, and a man in brown shouted, "Where did the old man come from, he dares to block the westbound official road, quickly clear the obstacles and make way for them!"
Hearing this, the second elder of the peacemaker squinted at the three of them, and the river god said, "Who said we were in the way?"
Shi Nong said: "There is such a big area above our heads. ”
The river god said, "Fly over our heads." ”
Shi Nong said: "Hurry up, go, don't eavesdrop on our brothers' conversation!"
The man in brown saw that the second elder of the peace was talking upside down, and he was immediately furious, and shouted: "If you don't stop and blame the young master for being ruthless!"
The second elder of the peacemaker was not angry when he heard this, and the river god said: "You kid is rude to speak!"
Shi Nong said: "Let our brothers teach you how to speak!"
Before the words fell, the two elders had already gotten up, grabbed both sides of the man in brown, pulled the clothes of the man in brown, and tore the clothes of the man in brown into pieces with a "stab" sound, and then the two elders stood back on the tree. All this was done in a flash of light, and the three of them were all taken aback, they didn't expect these two strange old men to be so lightly featen.
The man in brown whose clothes were torn couldn't say a word in shock. The man in gray saw that the second peacemaker showed such a hand, and he couldn't figure out the bottom of the two of them, and he didn't want to make extraneous branches, so he had to suppress his anger and salute the second peacemaker: "The younger generation is polite, just now the subordinate is ignorant, reckless, and offended the second elder, and the younger generation is here to compensate for them." Please also ask the second elder to forgive. ”
The river god laughed and said, "Your words are still personal. ”
Shi Nong also smiled: "Our brothers don't care about you. ”
The river god said: "Get out!"
This westbound official road is the closest road from Mazhou to Beijing, and if you take other roads, you will have to travel for at least eight or nine more days. The three of them just saw the light skills of the second elder of the peacemaker, only when the two of them were the top masters, how did they know that the second elder of the peacemaker was only good at light skills and medical poison, but other kung fu was commonplace. The three of them seemed to have an urgent matter to enter Beijing, and they didn't want to cause more trouble, although there was a faint anger on their faces, but the man in gray still pretended to be polite and said: "The younger generation really has an urgent matter to enter Beijing from this road, and I hope that the second elder will make it convenient." ”
The river god waved his hand: "Go away, go away!"
Shi Nong also said impatiently: "Stop being verbose!"
The man in gray suppressed the anger in his chest and asked, "Don't you dare to ask the second elder Gao's name?"
The river god snorted, "You deserve to ask our names too?"
Shi Nong said: "What's your name?"
The man in gray said coldly: "Shi Liangmen, Lei Shuangjian." ”
The name Lei Shuangjian, don't say that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will be afraid when they hear it, and even many people in the rivers and lakes will retreat three points when they hear it. But when the two elders heard it, they didn't care, which made Lei Shuangjian, who had always been conceited, a little confused, and he really couldn't see what the origin of these two old men was.
The river god looked up and down with a smile and asked, "Your name is Lei Shuangjian?"
Shi Nong asked, "Then why do you only have a sword on you?"
This question made Lei Shuangjian suddenly angry, drew his sword out of its sheath, and stabbed straight at the second elder. The two brown-clothed men who followed also secretly screamed badly, cursing the two old men in their hearts, asking what was wrong, but touching this moldy head, asked the most undesirable question. The two knew that the matter had been stiffened, so they also drew their swords and attacked, and together they attacked the two elders of peace.
The second elder of the peace saw that Lei Shuangjian was angry, he dodged and moved, blindly dodging but not fighting back, no matter how fierce Lei Shuangjian's attack was, it couldn't hurt them at all.
