Ye Gui

Red silk was hastily hung on the towers of the border city of Qinyang, adding a festive atmosphere to this cold and harsh military fortress.

"Go! Hang it over there too!" The captain shouted, "Hang more at the city gate. The red lanterns left over from last year's Chinese New Year are hung at the gate of the city. Clean up the street! Decorate the houses facing the street..."

The soldiers shouted: "There are not so many red silks!"

Was kicked on the butt by the school captain: "If you don't have it, you won't go door-to-door to ask? Who has red sheets and hang them in the corner, you can't tell! It's just for celebration, do you hear? It's just for celebration!"

The soldiers went away complaining.The school lieutenant entered the tower, saluted General Ge Yun and said, "General Ge, it's almost finished, can you take a look?"

Ever since Li Jingzhu was demoted to a commoner, Li Zexian sent the second-rank general of the guard, Ge Yun, to act as the Marquis of Jingxing.Ge Yun knew that Marquis Jingxing was deeply favored by the ruler, so he would not be able to serve as an agent for long. When Marquis Jingxing came back, he would step aside.

He is over half a hundred years old and inherited his father's position as a general. He has not made any military exploits and is very mediocre in the court.Fortunately, after the war, the two countries did not invade each other, and there would be no more wars. All he had to do was to take good care of the border city of Qinyang, organize the army, and wait for Jingxinghou to come back.

But I didn't expect that although there was no war in the border town, the little princess and relatives of Shenyu Kingdom would pass by here, and they just got the news that the little princess would arrive in two hours.

Ge Yun stood on the tower, the distance was covered with ice and snow, it was near dusk, all the people in the border city were driven back to their homes and were not allowed to go out except the soldiers who were busy setting up everywhere.

The deserted fortress now looks even more desolate, with a few red silks fluttering in the wind and reflecting the cold sun, it looks nondescript, not to mention festive, and even a little weird.

But there was no time to make other embellishments, Ge Yun sighed, and let the soldiers line up to welcome him. He only hoped that the little princess Shenyu was not a fussy person, otherwise he would be hated by the future imperial concubine for not having made great achievements on the battlefield as a general. , then he will be completely reduced to a laughing stock in court.

"Let the soldiers stand by at the gate of the city. Has the general's mansion been cleaned? It's already this time, and the princess must be spending the night in the border town."

The captain replied: "It's all done, don't worry!"

Ge Yun has nothing to worry about. The worst situation and the best situation depend on the little princess's mood: "What's the situation with this little princess? Why doesn't our envoy come to pick her up? In the past, how unpopular was this?"

The captain said in a low voice: "Isn't Shenyu Kingdom afraid of us Qin Yang! Otherwise, they will marry them as soon as the king says so!"

Ge Yun said: "But we lost the battle..."

The captain said: "What's the matter with the defeat? Both losers! Now Yanming City is not guarded by Lei Ting. It is said that Lei Ting made Si Zhongyi imprisoned in Tianlu City. Now the guard is someone who has never heard of it. If our lord wants to , It is not impossible to win Yanming City! Shenyu Kingdom is afraid to curry favor with us!"

Ge Yun is not a fool, the rumors and guesses are not credible, he shook his head, and was about to go downstairs, when someone suddenly reported: "General Ge! The lord is here! We will arrive at the south gate in a quarter of an hour!"

Ge Yun was startled, did the king come to greet his relatives in person?Why no one notified in advance?

"How can this be good!" He hurriedly ordered while running downstairs: "A group of people will pick you up at the south gate with me, and the rest will pick up the little princess at the north gate as originally planned! Then go to the common people's house to see if there are any usable things, and quickly arrange them!"

Four tall white horses marched side by side and pulled the four-wheeled carriage into the south gate. Ge Yun led the soldiers to prostrate on the ground and shouted loudly: "Welcome Your Majesty!!"

The lord's carriage didn't stop, and went directly to the north city gate.The leading new commander of the Imperial Guard jumped off his horse and said, "Is the Princess of Shenyu Kingdom here?"

Ge Yun followed the commander and said, "I haven't arrived yet. What's going on? Why did the king come in person?" It would take ten days to walk from the capital city to the border city, so the king had already left ?

The commander gave him a sideways glance. Ge Yun was not valued in the court, even a border town general of the same rank. He looked down on him, and said in a haughty and indifferent tone: "Don't ask if you shouldn't ask." Then he followed the carriage and strode forward. .

Ge Yun was used to such contempt, and he followed the leader step by step.

The car was parked at the north city gate, and the surroundings were quiet, except for the four white horses hissing and puffing, occasionally stepping restlessly on the snow.

Not long after, a black horse appeared on the horizon in the distance. It was extremely fast and ran over in the blink of an eye.

After seeing who was coming, Ge Yun took a deep breath, this is not a horse, this is clearly a monster!

The monster opened its bright red eyes, and its huge fangs and sharp teeth grew out of the horse's mouth. The sparse mane on the horse's back was drooping, as if stuck together by blood.

On her back was a woman in wedding dress, with a blank face and empty eyes. In order not to let her fall off, a rope was wrapped around the horse's belly and tightly tied to the horse's body from the waist down.

The white horse hoisted and neighed, trying to turn around and run away, but the commander and the imperial guards held the reins tightly.

"This! What the hell is this?" Ge Yun said in a low voice. The soldiers in the border city didn't dare to make any noise. They whispered in low voices, and the voices of the crowd naturally became louder. For a while, there were exclamations at the north city gate.

"Shut up!" the commander shouted.

The carriage moved a bit, and the golden silk brocade curtain was pulled away, Li Ze walked out with his head bowed first.

The attendants put fox fur on him, and he got off the carriage and went to meet him at the gate of the city.

Although Ge Yun was mediocre and incompetent, even as a minister he knew how to be loyal to protect his lord, and he could not allow the lord to face a monster: "Wait a minute, Your Majesty, this monster may hurt people! Your Majesty, please stand behind me!"

Li Ze glanced at him first, as if he didn't know him, ignored him, and continued walking forward.

Ge Yun gritted his teeth and followed, and ordered loudly, "Protect Your Majesty!"

The soldiers became more courageous and rushed out of the city gate with spears in hand.

The demon stopped, and the woman stared blankly at the group of people. It was getting dark, and the cold moon shone on the guns, and more than 100 guns were glowing with silver light.

Si Nan spoke slowly, with a trembling voice: "I...I'm here to make a kiss...help me!"

Ge Yun stood in the front row, staring at Si Nan nervously, a layer of white sweat emerged from his back.Marriage?Is this woman the princess of Shenyu Kingdom?

The soldiers behind him suddenly became agitated, he turned his head, the commander of the imperial guards pushed the crowd away, and Li Ze followed behind him first.

Ge Yun said anxiously: "Your Majesty, this place is dangerous, don't come here!"

Li Ze didn't listen to dissuasion, and walked directly to him, without even looking at him, staring at Si Nan: "I'll pick you up."

The commander of the imperial guards stepped forward, and the demon horse bared its fangs and opened its bloody mouth to threaten.The leader hesitated for a moment, and said, "I want to untie the princess..."

"Your Highness, I've offended you." Seeing that the monster horse didn't attack him, he boldly stepped forward and cut the rope. As soon as he cut it, Si Nan fell down stiff and was caught by him.

The demon horse immediately fell to the ground, twitched a few times and then stopped moving.

Si Nan was carried into the carriage by the commander. There were all kinds of soft cushions, brocade quilts, stoves and snacks in the carriage. She sank into the soft cushions, and her whole body relaxed. As soon as she relaxed, her tears rolled down unconsciously.

Her father had just passed away, and she only kept her filial piety for two days. On the third day, she was arrested by several old Shang Palaces early in the morning to bathe and make up, and the moment she put on her wedding dress, she realized that her fifth brother, who used to be The fifth brother who loves her so much can't wait to drive her out to a foreign country to get married and use it to consolidate his rule.

She knew that she would have such a day, but she didn't expect that the fifth brother would drive her away before her father's first seven days.

She felt pain in her heart, and she planned to escape on the road of getting married. Anyway, it would take ten days at the fastest to get to Qin Yangguo by carriage. He had already fled to a place where Si Weiheng could not find him.At that time, she will find another opportunity to meet up with the concubine mother.

Now that she had made up her mind, she obediently let the old Shang palaces do their makeup.

She was dressed in a wedding dress, a golden crown on her head, and white hemp on her outside. She bid farewell to her mother and concubine, and went to Chaoyang Palace to bid farewell to her father and king.

Si Weiheng stood at the gate of Chaoyang Palace and said with a smile: "Nan'er is so beautiful today, you are married, so Brother Wu can rest assured."

Si Nan also smiled: "Thank you Fifth Brother for finding this marriage for Nan'er. The journey is far away, so Nan'er will not delay."

She was about to leave after she finished speaking, but she heard Si Weiheng shout: "Wait a minute, Nan'er. You are right, the journey is long, and my brother didn't want you to work too hard, so I specially asked the national teacher to prepare a Maxima for you..."

Han Zhao led the black horse over, and Si Nan screamed in fright, his upper and lower teeth chattering: "This, what is this..."

Si Weiheng said: "If you ride it, you will be able to reach Qinyang Kingdom tonight...it has a strong temper, you have to ride steadily..."

Si Nan leaned on the soft cushion and rubbed her legs that were tied unconscious, she suddenly figured it out, she wanted to marry Li Zexian, she wanted to have a child for Lord Qin Yang, she wanted to be a queen, she wanted power, With these, she will not be afraid of Si Weiheng!What the father said was right, she wanted her child to inherit the throne, and she wanted to avenge her father and herself!

She thought to herself, the curtain was lifted, Li Ze got into the carriage first, and the carriage started to move.

Si Nan couldn't move, couldn't perform the big ceremony, so he said obediently and respectfully: "Nan'er has met His Majesty, please forgive Nan'er for being disrespectful..."

Li Zexian was somewhat similar to Li Jingzhu. He was a handsome man. Although he was twice as old as Si Nan, he was still in his prime. He looked elegant and dignified.

Si Nan had already made up his mind and decided that Li Zexian was his future husband, so there was a hint of shyness in his expression.

Li Ze first smiled and said, "Princess, you don't need to be too polite."

Si Nan said flatteringly, "Is Your Majesty coming to meet Nan in person?"

Li Ze nodded first.

Si Nan said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Nan'er is flattered..." Before she could finish speaking, the noble and stable man rushed up and pressed on her.

Si Nan was stunned, but the courtiers in the palace had taught her how to serve her husband, so she held back and didn't cry out. Although she didn't want to, she lowered her head and pretended to be shy.

Li Zexian's voice sounded above her head: "Hmph, are you the thing that the national teacher asked me to take care of?"

"Something?" Si Nan didn't know why, so she raised her head, and was frightened out of her wits. Li Zexian's eyes were completely black, with one hand covering her mouth tightly, and the other clutching her delicate neck.The voice became very strange and said: "The little Si Weiheng can't control it, so he insists on making it so troublesome..."
