i want to marry a princess

"Tell me, what's the situation?"

Guo Chan stood behind a rockery in the garden, where the back was in the dark, and people who came could be seen at a glance.

Dongqing said: "Going back to the princess, my subordinates went to Luoshui City with Kule's letter according to your instructions. Unexpectedly, the subordinates entered the city secretly to find Kule's subordinates before the city was destroyed. But when the subordinates brought When people went to the place where General Ling was detained, there were already corpses all over the place, and General Ling was nowhere to be seen."

Guo Chan frowned. These circumstances were explained in Dongqing's letter. At that time, she wondered who rescued Ling Qi before them.

"Go on."

"Yes, princess." Dongqing continued: "At that time, my subordinates were also very puzzled, but Luoshui City had just been recaptured, and the city was in chaos. Arrived at the camp."

"Ruyang Palace?" Guo Chan snorted coldly, did Ruyang Palace also participate in it?

Dongqing said: "Yes, the person who came is a close friend of King Ruyang, there is no mistake. But the person left after sending him away, and his subordinates then sent someone to follow that person. The letter sent back today stated that the person He has indeed returned to Ruyang Palace."

Ruyang King Sima He is Sima Yi's cousin, and Ruyang Prince's Mansion is located in Huaibei, one day away from Luoshui City.Back then when Luoshui City was destroyed, Sima He sent a petition to the army and was rejected. Presumably he didn't give up.

Guo Chan said: "Who is that Miss Nian'er? Could it be that she is from Ruyang Palace?"

"Ms. Nian'er was originally a slave bought by Kule. She took good care of General Ling during his imprisonment. According to General Ling's statement, if Miss Nian'er hadn't secretly given her medicine and food several times, he would have been unable to survive. So after General Ling was saved, Miss Nian'er was taken away."

Having said that, Dongqing paused for a moment, and said again: "Princess, the behavior of King Ruyang this time is really puzzling, do you want your subordinates to send someone to secretly watch the movement of Prince Ruyang's mansion?"

After thinking for a while, Guo Chan said: "Although the Ruyang Palace seems to have kept itself safe these years, he has the most soldiers and horses among the vassal kings. My cousin is thinking about his uncle's tolerance for the Ruyang Palace when he was alive, and his personality is not right. Cold-blooded and ruthless brothers and sisters have turned a blind eye to the behavior of the Ruyang Palace these years, and now I am afraid that the Ruyang Palace has a different heart, so send someone to watch."

After finishing speaking, Guo Chan was very puzzled about this matter. Sima He was shrewd and cautious, and the matter of saving Ling Qi was too high-profile, which made people suspect his intentions.Would a person like him do such a thing to expose himself?Or is there something that made him have to save Ling Qi?

Thinking of this, Guo Chan said again: "You send someone to watch first, but I'd better send a letter back to Beijing to inform my cousin about this."

"Yes, county lord."

When they returned to the courtyard, Zhao Longxi, the prefect of Xuzhou, was sitting in the hall, and Ren Suyi was sitting opposite him, the two were talking about something, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

Zhao Longxi first saw Guo Chan walk in, stood up and clasped his fists and said, "Princess, you are going to visit General Ling. I wonder if General Ling's injury is any problem?"

"The injury is fine, but we need to rest." Guo Chan waved her hand and walked to sit next to Ren Suyi. After going out for half a day, before she had time to drink a sip of water, she casually picked up the teacup in front of her and took a sip.

Zhao Longxi saw it and silently lowered his head.

Guo Chan looked up again and saw that Zhao Longxi was still standing, so he said: "Prefect Zhao, please sit down, I wonder if there is something to do here today?"

Zhao Longxi sat down, "Back to the princess, I am here today because of the Wuya Mountain bandits."

"Oh, but there is a result?" Guo Chan has been busy with Ling Qi's affairs for the past few days, and almost neglected to promise Wang Niandi's sister. Now that Zhao Longxi mentioned it, she plans to deal with it in the near future. After all, Luoshui City took back , the next negotiation matter, even if her father is around, she doesn't need to come forward.

Zhao Longxi said: "After the investigation of the lower officials, the fact that the bandits on Wuya Mountain committed several lives in Wangjia Village is true, and the bandits on Wuya Mountain did not happen in one day. In addition, the county magistrate of the county where Wangjia Village belongs has been accepting crows for a long time. The bribes from the mountain bandits have kept the bandits from Crow Mountain at large."

Accepting bribes and shielding gangsters are serious crimes.After hearing this, Guo Chan frowned tightly, with a cold light in his eyes, and said slowly: "Then how does Prefect Zhao plan to deal with this matter? After all, this is Prefect Zhao's territory, and the right to deal with it is still in your hands."

Zhao Longxi's forehead could not help dripping with cold sweat. After investigating this matter, he found out that the bandits in Wuya Mountain are rampant. They have committed countless crimes in recent years. Now that he has been found out by his subordinates, his superiors may suspect that he is also accepting bribes. If it is less serious, he must be punished for a crime of dereliction of duty.

After careful consideration, Zhao Longxi got up and bent down and said, "This official's neglect of duty has caused the people of Xuzhou to suffer from the bandits in Wuya Mountain. Please punish the princess. As for the officials who accepted bribes, the official has already sent someone to take them down. , waiting for your decision, princess."

Guo Chan wouldn't really want to report Zhao Longxi's crime of dereliction of duty. Zhao Longxi had been doing his best in Xuzhou all these years without any fault.She looked away and said softly: "Prefect Zhao's achievements over the years are obvious to all, I believe His Majesty has his own judgment. The most important thing now is to suppress the bandits as soon as possible, otherwise the bandits in Wuya Mountain will be allowed to do evil, and there will be endless troubles."

With Guo Chan's words, Zhao Longxi's mind was settled, and he said slowly: "What the princess said is very true, the officials have been thinking about suppressing bandits recently, but Wuya Mountain is backed by natural dangers, easy to defend and difficult to attack Now that Xuzhou is short of troops, I'm afraid it will be difficult to take it for a while."

Guo Chan heard something in Zhao Longxi's words, so she was waiting for her here, but she promised Wang Niandi and his brother to avenge them, so naturally she wanted to keep her word.

"General Lin Jing has always been jealous of evil. It is better to let him lead people to assist Zhao Taishou in this bandit suppression operation."

Hearing this, Zhao Longxi got up and bowed again, "That's it, an official, thank you Princess!"

Then, as Guo Chan said, Lin Jing immediately became interested when he heard that there was an errand to suppress bandits. This time, he came to Xuzhou to help Guo Chan capture Kule. The people he brought could not go to the battlefield to suppress a bandit, which was more than enough , It was regarded as training, so the troops were immediately ready for battle.

However, Lin Jing looked like a wild man but was actually calm and cautious. He immediately asked Taishou Zhao to ask for all the detailed information of the bandits in Wuya Mountain, and after two days of careful consideration, he set off with him.

It was Ling Qi who expressed envy when he heard about it, but Guo Chan hadn't cared about him for the past two days.Because in the next battle, the Turkic people were defeated and lost nearly [-] troops, and their morale was greatly depressed.The wars in the past few months have seriously affected the lives of the people. The purpose of Guo Chan and Xuan Pinghou's trip is to end the war as soon as possible, so the two armies temporarily ceased fighting and began to discuss.

But with the truce, Kule's fate became a problem. He couldn't keep the Turkic third prince forever, but Guo Chan felt unwilling to let her go like this.The most important thing that Guo Chan finds interesting is that the Turkic king doesn't seem to be worried about Kule, and never sent anyone to ask about Kule's life or death.

So hesitant Guo Chan decided to visit the third Turkic prince before making a decision.

"Is the princess finally thinking about it?" Ku Le gritted his teeth and stared at Guo Chan who came forward, his eyes were full of undisguised hatred.

Guo Chan looked calm and said with a smile: "It seems that the third prince knows that the Turks have surrendered?"

Hearing this, Kule's eyes showed defeat. He had fought for this opportunity with great difficulty. Now that he failed, perhaps his father would give up on him because of it.Thinking of it, Kule couldn't help laughing at himself in his heart. Now that he is a prisoner, I don't know if my father knows it. Seeing Guo Chan's appearance, I think no one will come to rescue him.

"The third prince seems to be disheartened?" Guo Chan thought it was interesting, since he was an unfavored prince, how could he be the leader of the Turkic invasion of the Central Plains.Thinking of what Dongqing had investigated, she said casually: "I heard that the third prince has always been unfavored. Could it be that he was pushed to this position during this expedition? So, I feel that the third prince is a bit unlucky to do all these bad jobs Woolen cloth."

Kule already hated Guo Chan, so he could hear the sarcasm in her words, and said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense if you don't know, this is an opportunity my master has worked so hard to get for me, if you didn't take me Catch it, how could I end up like this!"

Guo Chan didn't change her face, and said mockingly: "You and I are enemies but not friends, so why don't I help you?"

Kule couldn't say a word, why did he meet such a person, but what Guo Chan said was true, if he could catch Guo Chan, he would definitely do it.

After a while, Kule said helplessly, "How can you let me go back?"

He has already realized that his father and his brothers will not care about his life or death. As for the master in Turkic, he is weak and weak, even if he wants to save him, he has no energy to spare. Now he can only rely on Guo Chan.

Guo Chan asked back: "What good will it do me if I let an enemy go back?"

Kule understood that it would not be so easy for Guo Chan to let him go, so he gritted his teeth and said, "If you let me go back, you can ask for it."

Guo Chan looked indifferent, "Third Prince, this is just an empty talk, so what if you regret it when you go back?"

This doesn't work, that doesn't work either, Kule said angrily, "Then what are you going to do?!"

Guo Chan lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment, then raised her head to look at Kule, and said with a faint smile, "It's not impossible to let you go back, you can answer a few questions for me first."

"What's the problem?" Kuhler looked at Guo Chan suspiciously, always feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell.

Guo Chan tapped the table lightly with one finger, but stared at Kule, "Who was the first to break through Luoshui City and Yangcheng?"

Kule's pupils tightened sharply. Seeing this, Guo Chan guessed that what she was thinking was right. After observing these few days, although Kule was not a stupid person, he was by no means a brave and good fighter. However, he was able to break out suddenly in a few days. Surprisingly taking down Luoshui City and Yang City is very strange in itself.Although the soldiers guarding the city of Luoshui were unprepared, they would not be defeated within a day, even her father might not be sure.

Moreover, after the capture of Yangcheng, the Turkic people's style of play was very different from before, and they became more conservative, and the battle has dragged on to this day. Therefore, Guo Chan guessed that there was someone behind Kuller who was giving advice, maybe it was the master he said.

But who is Kuller's master?Even Dongqing couldn't find any origin, only knew that he appeared next to Kule three years ago, and the previous events were blurred.

Guo Chan said: "If my guess is correct, it is your master who actually led the troops to attack the city?"

Kule didn't know how Guo Chan knew about it, he had always been concerned about it, but the master was also for him, after all, it was almost impossible to win the two cities in one fell swoop relying on his ability alone.

After a while, Kule resigned and said: "You guessed right, it was indeed my master's soldiers at first, but what does this have to do with you?"

Speaking of which, Kule looked suspiciously at Guo Chan. She had been asking the master questions from the very beginning, and it seemed that she had some purpose.

Guo Chan smiled and said: "Aside from being hostile, my father and General Jin are full of praise for your master's tactics. For such a character, I ask you because he knows himself and the enemy. Why don't you even have a name in Turkic?"

Hearing this, Kule thought for a while and felt that Guo Chan's words were not wrong, so he accepted his doubts and sighed: "My master is not a person who seeks fame, he is just entrusted by an old friend to help me, so others only think that he is just my takeover." It's a pity...it's me who didn't live up to expectations and wasted a good opportunity."

good chance?

Guo Chan raised the corners of her lips coldly, "I haven't forgotten what the third prince did to my people after breaking the city. So, the third prince still thinks that I will let you go back?"

As soon as these words came out, cold sweat oozes from Kule's back, and he has no words to refute, because he acquiesced to those things, and he wants to prove to his father that he can let all the Turks enter the city, burn, kill, rob, and kidnap abuse.

"What do you think?" Kule realized that his voice was trembling after he spoke, because he clearly saw the killing intent in Guo Chan's eyes.

Guo Chan sneered and said, "It's not impossible to let you go, just promise me a few conditions."
