Toyora Castle, a northern suburb of the castle

In June, the morning wind is a little cool, the weather is slightly hazy, and the light shines through the gray white clouds, illuminating this vast flat field.

After the war, the rain was abundant, and the peasants replenished the rice, some of which were lush and green, and you could see peasants working in twos and threes from a distance.

The horses' hooves, the wheels were rustling, and the occasional gravel shot at the carriage, making a banging sound, making the man in the car in fancy clothes frown a little, and looked up at the window from a pile of copywriting.

The royal summer chariot is actually open on all sides, and the scarf is wrapped around it to facilitate the wind and scenery, and as the maid sees the opportunity, she pulls up the scarf and sees a large field not far from the carriage.

Crops and weeds grew wildly, and peasants went down to the fields in groups to weed with hoes, and some of them couldn't dodge, so they fell to their knees on the side of the road in fear and kept kowtowing.

The ragged clothes and numb faces of these common people reminded him of the cockroaches that he had trampled to death in the kitchen when he was a child, and he was always a little uncomfortable, and his gaze slid over without stopping, and it only lit up slightly when he fell on some Mai men with long swords on their backs.

These, presumably, are also well-known sword cultivators, although most of them are just ordinary, but they can be organized to work, and they have some use.

At this time, there was a burst of laughter like silver bells in my ears, and when I looked back, I saw that there was a big river to the east of the official road, and the water vapor evaporated on the surface of the river and condensed into a white mist.

The fisherwoman drove a flat boat to catch the mature water chestnut on the water, and the girl's laughter echoed in the white mist, revealing sweetness in the glutinous softness, making the river feel as mysterious as the veil of the Hunan girl, or like the mother, she couldn't touch her heart.

This is Xiangshui...... It is Xiangzhou, which is known as the land of fish and rice and the hometown of sword-casting.

"God-given fertile soil, the foundation of heroes in troubled times, who can take it?"

King Qingjun thought in his heart, retracted his gaze, and returned to copywriting and government affairs, this year is a good year, such a pastoral should be everywhere in Xiangzhou, but the disaster of the outer demons has not disappeared...... Now it can only be seen near the state city, and I don't know how much I can harvest in autumn.

The most troublesome thing is that even if the seized counties in central Hunan want to come back, the government will definitely be swept away from the grain stockpile...... This killable Hanhou!

"Husband, are you still worried about the safety of this alliance?" A pair of white and tender soft wattles held his slender hands, and his warm body was soft and tender against his back.

He turned his head to look at the worry in Shang Ningjuan's beautiful eyes, feeling that this should be the affection in her heart, relieving a lot of depression for a while, then squeezed out a smile and said: "It's okay, there is no personal danger, the court and ...... My father is still very powerful, even if the immortals don't dare to deal with me directly...... Besides, I'm also prepared, otherwise I wouldn't have brought you, Madame?"

"That's right. Ning Juan nodded, she was actually a little puzzled in her heart why her husband took her to the meeting, but in the run-in of the newlywed, she grasped her husband's soft temperament on the outside and strong on the inside, so she was smart and didn't ask much, and looked at the car window.

Compared with the atmosphere in the carriage, the atmosphere was a little dull and boring, and the flags were waving outside, and horses carrying knights were paraded back and forth on both sides, stretching out the grievances of shrinking in the city these days, and there were many real people riding on horses.

These real people suddenly appeared in the past two days, and I heard that they were teleported from the magic circle of the major state cities in the imperial capital overnight, and the royal connotation is extraordinary, or even ......

Ning Juan suddenly remembered what her husband had just said, combined with the identity of Tianhuang noble, she guessed what he was "preparing", so she didn't say that her father was also paying attention here.

"The water house is isolated from the human system, and it is still taboo, especially recently Taiping Lake Longjun has coordinated the control of water, and my father does not want to fall into the hands of the opponent, at most...... Just to keep his husband safe, nothing else is impossible, fortunately he didn't ask for help from his side. ”

She secretly breathed a sigh of relief in order to avoid embarrassment, and then heard a voice: "I heard that Ye Qing brought the Dragon Maiden, and specially invited you together, you are all famous beauties in the Northland Water Mansion, you are close to age, and you have old friendships, so I will take you out to ease up." ”

"Uh......"

King Qingjun raised his eyebrows: "What?"

"This old friendship is not the same old friendship...... Ning Juan blushed a little embarrassed, they were all old grudges that were inadvertently formed back then, thinking about it, they are all nonsense little contradictions, and they are not intimate relationships after all.

King Qingjun understood as soon as he saw her expression, and secretly scolded the intelligence officer for dereliction of duty, feeling a little disappointed in his heart, but his face was still gentle: "That's okay, in the end, the matter is still solved by us men, and you women can play a buffer role." ”

Ning Juan lowered her head and sighed softly, inexplicably a little uncomfortable with this......

Probably since he was a child, he was inherited by his father to cultivate independently, and he invited a female teacher to educate his daughter, but it is still not the same as the real daughter in the world.

But the maiden ...... No, the young woman always remembered her status as a princess, she pursed her lips, and when she raised her face again, she still smiled slightly, pure and gentle.

The harmonious scene fell in the eyes of the knight real person in the car curtain, and he couldn't help but praise secretly: "The prince and the princess are really a match made in heaven, the sun and the moon shine, and the golden boy and girl ......"

The marriage between the county king's mansion and the water mansion only needs a qualified bond, and no one cares about the truth in this carriage, in fact, even the couple themselves don't care much.

This section of the road is a bit slow, because the magic ship has attacked the city several times, the road was originally full of deep pits, even if it was repaired in a hurry, there were still some potholes on the surface, and there were many problems.

The brigade was a little bumpy, but it was not too long, and the wheels rolled through the rough sand and gravel, and soon arrived at the location.

A water inlet appeared in front of everyone, less than ten miles away from Fengliang City, which is the Xiangshui River, and only the west is a safe area at present.

However, for this alliance, military camps have been set up on both sides of the river.

"Where is Sun Xinbo's sailor battleship?"

"Returning to the king, we have reached five miles away, and we are about to enter the port. ”

King Qingjun was satisfied with what he heard, and was helping Ning Juan to get out of the car, when the air suddenly shook, the river fluctuated, the willow leaves swirled and fell straight down, and a roaring sound of horses' hooves came from the other side of the river, like the sound of inserting a scabbard into a soothing movement.

"What's going on?" King Qingjun was a little displeased and looked at several generals of the army.

One of the generals at the head leaned up, bowed his head and didn't dare to look at the princess's graceful beauty, but only reported respectfully to the master: "Lord, there has been a cavalry team stationed since yesterday, and it is the cavalry of the Han Hou......"

The fog in this section of the river was cleared by the magician in preparation for a surprise attack, and at this time, I saw a small group of cavalry patrolling on the embankment on the opposite bank, and felt this luxurious car, and several school officers pointed at this side, and a faint voice came: "But what a big pomp......

The distance was too far, and the sound was dispersed when a gust of wind blew, and I didn't know what else to say, but I saw a burst of laughter in the cavalry, and the laughter passed through the vast mist, without the slightest respect and awe for the royal family, and a reckless and reckless aura of arrogant soldiers and fierce generals in troubled times came to my face.

When the general saw that King Qingjun's face turned blue, his heart sank, and he secretly scolded these thieves, and said carefully: "These banners of the Yulin Army should be one of the two major cavalry guards of the Han Hou. ”

"Needless to say, I saw it. King Qingjun's face turned pale, suppressed the anger of offense, and did not say much, he knew in his heart that it was pointless to talk to such a rude enemy, maybe people were deliberately provoking.

"Xianghou and Mrs. Xianghou have arrived—"

A message dragged on in the air, and the billowing smoke and dust quickly subdued it in the fog, and a tiding sound was heard in a short time.

Everyone looked at it quietly, only to see that not far away, a group of troops came in formation, all wearing armor, and the queue was strictly organized, which made people's eyes shine and felt a force.

"Although there are only five hundred here, they are really veterans of a hundred battles and elite soldiers, and Xianghou still has strength at this point!"

A resolute-faced man and a woman appeared in front of everyone, this is the Xianghou couple.

Interestingly, the Xianghou army was stationed not far away, and it is said that he had known that the king of Qingjun was coming, so he did not greet him in advance, but only appeared at this time.

In the eyes of the magician, it was very clear that the strength of the Hunan soldiers was basically undamaged, and the military spirit was stronger than the soldiers of the county who were suppressed by the Han army at this time, but the strange thing was that when he got to the front, this Xianghou bowed in front of the king of Qingjun: "Minister Zhang Weicun, meet the king." ”

"Hahaha, no courtesy, no courtesy...... King Qingjun hurriedly stepped forward and helped Xianghou: "Xianghou get up quickly." ”

The Marquis of Xiang must have known that his father had decreed that he ordered all the troops to go down the river by ship, out of Tianmen Gorge, and sweep away the enemy ships in the upper states.

Da Cai actually had no loss of vitality, but he didn't dare to disobey the decree of heaven that day, so he had to retract.

Now that he knows the destiny of heaven, he will naturally sweep it immediately.

All the states in the world, in fact, there are most of the centripetal courts, as long as the heavenly soldiers arrive, everyone surrenders, although they have not received the news, presumably not only the five states of Zhili, but also the surrounding eight states can also be swept down.

It is natural for this Xianghou to change his attitude...... Or has the wife revealed it to her sister?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at this woman.

This sister-in-law Hongxuan and his wife Ning Juan are very similar, the last time I saw them in Xiangshui, I had some thoughts, this time I have changed a lot, my eyebrows and posture have the first taste of clouds and rain, it is simply a copy of Ning Juan, and it seems to have some charm more than her.

King Qingjun felt a moment in his heart, stared at the middle-aged man again, and thought of some kind of not very good scene - every time this villager, he doesn't think of my wife!

But he was a prince, his face was a little dull, he became sunny again, endured the hatred of a certain name, and said to Zhang Weicun: "And you and I are brothers-in-law, why do you need such a posture." ”

"Etiquette cannot be abolished. Zhang Weicun said, and took advantage of the situation, in fact, his knees did not touch the sand and stones, clean and spotless.

Even if he is afraid of the news faintly coming from the imperial capital, as long as Han Hou is still pressing on top of the two of them for a day, he can maintain a balance, and he doesn't have to be too subservient.

Moreover, the balance of interests is very fragile, once Ye Qing's threat becomes smaller or even disappears, the two families may directly turn their faces.

Compared with these two men, the sisters have gotten together and said something with a smile, in fact, it has only been a few days since the last meeting in Xiangshui, and they have already communicated secretly, but at this time, they are also deliberately easing the atmosphere of the two families......

The daughter of the earth fairy is smart and knows that this role is very limited, but the tradition of Hunan women, since she marries, she has to be responsible for her husband's family, or ...... What kind of effect will it make?
