Chapter 17: Marquis Wu
The next morning, when Lin He got up, it was already three poles in the morning, and it was the first time in his life that he slept so late. At this time, the sequelae of drinking too much came out, and the feeling of swelling and pain in his head made Lin He frown slightly.
"My lord" Just as Lin He opened the door, a maid waiting outside the door brought toiletries to Lin He.
The title of adult made Lin He stunned somewhat, and after confirming that the maid was indeed calling him, Lin He didn't say anything. It's just a title, and he doesn't really care. But Lin He has always been the old man who took care of his family since he was sensible, and he is really not used to others serving him to wash. Lin He simply asked the maid to put a dry toiletry on the seat of the room, and he came by himself.
"How did I get back yesterday?" Lin He was a little vague about his memories after drinking yesterday.
"My lord was helped back by the princess yesterday, and my lord is really blessed. There was obviously something special in the maid's tone. Lin He let out an "oh", indicating that he knew, and began to wash. He didn't pay attention to the maid's strange tone at all. He really needed help to get back to the room at that time, and as for Shangguan Yu who helped him back, he didn't think it was anything.
"Your Excellency, do you know that the princess came twice last night, and she specially explained that she should take care of her lords, and if there is anything to do, you can go to her directly without reporting. The maid saw that Lin He's reaction was very calm, she was not calm, so she also told what happened last night.
"Princess Yu'er?" Lin He, who was wiping his face, paused his movements, and finally understood why the maid had that tone, and ran here twice in one night, which showed that Shangguan Yu really cared about him.
The maid was a little disappointed to see Lin He's reaction, but she was more curious. What is the identity of this teenager?
"Adults wash up first, and I'll serve the decanting soup." This was brought by the princess when she came this morning, but when she saw that the lord was still asleep, she told the slave maid to go to the kitchen and provoke her, and then serve it to the lord when she woke up. ”
After the girl finished speaking, she said goodbye and left, and after a while, she came back with the decanting soup, and Lin He had just finished washing.
Drinking the hot decanting soup, Lin He felt very comfortable. The body is comfortable, and the heart is warmer.
Lin He had just finished drinking the decanting soup when Shangguan Yu came.
"How do you feel, do you have a headache?" Shangguan Yu asked with concern.
"I did have a headache when I first woke up, but after drinking this bowl of soup, I got a lot better. Lin He replied truthfully.
However, when he heard this, Shangguan Yu's ears changed, and her little face was slightly red and she lowered her head slightly.
Lin He found that since Shangguan Yu removed the weft veil covering his face, he had blushed a lot of times. Shangguan Yu was already very good-looking, and after a touch of blush on her cheeks, she was even more beautiful.
"The Immortal Master said that we may have to leave here for the capital today, let me ask your opinion. ”
"It's okay, your father should be very worried about you, and going home early will also reassure your father sooner. ”
"Hmm. ”
Birds chirp outside the window, and the courtyard is bustling. The boys and girls asked and answered, and it was extraordinarily beautiful.

When she arrived in her own country, the princess's words and deeds attracted much attention. The two slightly shabby carriages were naturally not suitable for reuse, and were replaced by two luxurious carriages, each with four skins and tall heads, which were very rowed.
Shi Sheng is a general guarding the border passes, so it is naturally impossible to leave his post without permission, but he also sent elite cavalry and a large number of infantry to escort the princess. The princess had already been attacked once, and if she hadn't been left in the country of Qingfeng, he, a frontier general, would really have been able to meet the king with his head raised.
Wu Wei was originally ordered to greet the princess, so he returned with the team, and naturally served as the guard general. I don't know if Han Feng's deterrence played a role or other reasons, Wu Wei was also diligent along the way. He not only deals with the big and small affairs of the team, plans the route of travel, but also takes the initiative to contact officials at all levels in the places where he passes. Let Shangguan Yu and Han Feng save a lot of worry and save a lot of trouble.
Han Feng's stay in Qingfeng Country is not short, according to him, since he came down the mountain, he has been "pensioning" in Qingfeng Country and received the title of "Master" of Qingfeng Country, which is equivalent to the position of the national teacher held by Chonghuai in the Flowing Fire Country, and his life is also clean. Along the way, the Korean style of the large and small cities, prefectures and counties will introduce the cultural features and trends of this place to Linhe. When there is really nothing to say, Han Feng will generally pull Lin He and tell Lin He the way of chess step by step from scratch. said that it was a story, but in fact, he pulled Lin He to get started directly and played two games with each other. Lin He had never touched this thing before, so where would it be Han Feng's opponent? Every time, even though Han Feng was heavily waterproofed, it would eventually end in Lin He's fiasco. , stop and go along the way, and the speed of travel is neither fast nor slow. After walking for more than 20 days, the capital finally arrived.
Outside the city gates, thousands of Imperial Guards had already taken over the city gates, prohibiting all people from entering and leaving. It doesn't matter if you are an ordinary person or a high-ranking official of the imperial court, the short knife and spear of the Imperial Forest Army will not reason with you at all. A big man in armor patrolled back and forth, it was Tie Lin, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army. Looking at the crowd of people who were blocked at the city gate, Tie Lin's brows furrowed. He walked up to a young man in bright yellow clothes who was standing at the front and looking into the distance, and said in a low voice: "Prince, if we seal the city gate like this, ordinary people can say that those important members of the court may be dissatisfied." When the time comes, there will inevitably be people who will talk a lot. ”
The young man is the prince of Qingfeng, the future king of Qingfeng Country - Shangguan Hong.
When Shangguan Hong heard this, he glanced around and sneered: "When Yu'er sacrificed happiness and was forced to marry Mingyue and the waste prince, I didn't see anyone come out to oppose it, and they all became shrinking turtles. I really thought I didn't know about them, anyway, it wasn't their children who were sacrificed, and the marriage of a princess was enough to marry the Mingyue Kingdom to fight against the Flowing Fire Country, and they wouldn't lose anything, of course they were happy to see it. Now that the family sending team has been blocked by Mingyue Kingdom, Yu'er can only return here by escaping death, what's wrong with delaying them for a while, who dares to make trouble?"
Shangguan Hong's cold eyes swept away, and a sneer hung on the corner of his mouth,
Tie Lin was silent for a moment, and now he regretted that he was talking too much. At the beginning, the matter of the princess marrying Mingyue Kingdom far away can be said to be full of turmoil in the city, and the prince's opposition is the most powerful. Everyone knows that this prince has loved his sister very much since he was a child, and he wants to sacrifice her sister's happy marriage to Mingyue Kingdom, and he is the most fierce. In his words, if the Burning Nation is going to war, they will go on next.
And on the eve of the princess's wedding, the prince almost took the princess away. This thing is terrible, the old king was angry, and locked up the prince for a month, and was just released. If it is changed to another country, there will be more than a dozen princes, and I am afraid that the candidates for the next heir will have to be changed.
In fact, Tie Lin listened to and admired this prince, who was affectionate, righteous and bloody.
"Prince, the princess's guard of honor has arrived. Just when Tie Lin didn't know what to say, one of his men came to report and solved his embarrassment.
"Where?" Shangguan Hong's face suddenly changed, and the coldness just now disappeared, replaced by a doting look on his face, with an uncontrollable smile on his face.
Seeing the team approaching in the distance, Shangguan Hong was also waiting in place, so he walked all the way to greet him.
Of course, Wu Wei knew the future monarch, and immediately confessed to him, in case someone didn't know why he bumped into him.
Shangguan Hong didn't leave the others, and walked all the way to Shangguan Yu before stopping and waiting.
Shangguan Yu saw that the carriage stopped, and only after asking to no avail did he lift the car to find out, who could Shangguan Hong, who was not looking at him with doting?
"Brother Wang!" Shangguan Yu exclaimed in surprise, rushed out of the carriage, threw himself into Shangguan Hong's arms, and cried.
From getting married to returning here, this fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl has suffered too much and survived several lives, but she has been strong all the way. At this time, seeing Shangguan Hong, all the grievances were in her heart, and she could finally cry out happily without caring about anything else. At this time, she was not a princess, but a little girl who had been wronged.
Shangguan Hong's heart ached, and his eyes turned red. He gently patted Shangguan Yu's back, "Yu'er is good, Yu'er doesn't cry." ”
Shangguan Yu's crying took half a pillar of incense before it gradually stopped. She was too carried away just now, and only after her mood calmed down did she remember that this was not in the palace, not just their brother and sister.
When Shangguan Yu got up from Shangguan Hong's arms, he flew back into the carriage and said nothing and didn't come out again.
Shangguan Hong slightly tidied up his clothes that were wet with Shangguan Yu's tears, came to the second carriage, and said respectfully and gratefully: "Thank you Immortal Master for bringing Yu'er back safely." ”
Han Feng lifted the curtain, pointed to Lin He beside him and said to Shangguan Hong: "The old man is ashamed to put the princess in danger, we should be grateful to Lin He's little friend." ”
"It turns out that you are Lin He Shaoxia, Shangguan Hong thanks Shaoxia for saving him. ”
............
In the palace, a man in a yellow robe who was about fifty years old sat opposite Han Feng, and after listening to Han Feng's story, the man was surprised: "What the national teacher said is true? This young man named Lin He really killed a seeker?"
Han Feng picked up the tea bowl and took a sip lightly, and after putting it down, he said, "It's true." ”
After receiving the confirmation, the man thought for a moment and shouted outside, "Someone." ”
Several eunuchs poured in, listening to orders.
"Proposed purpose, Lin He saved the princess from danger twice, and he made great contributions and sealed the ...... Marquis Wu, reward 10,000 taels of gold, a mansion, eat 10,000 households, and lead thousands of troops. Special gifts to see the holy driver do not worship. ”
