The Bamboo Horse Dressed as the Emperor

The snow was as heavy as a mat, Xie Chen got off his horse, and received the order from the messenger, a letter explaining the situation.

The letter was written by Song Jiao, and the transfer order was also written by him. Xie Laodangjia and Prime Minister Song stamped their seals.

Sure enough, as Prime Minister Song had expected, Qing's attitude towards Li Xu changed so quickly because of a civil turmoil in Qing's court.

Before the father died, several princes launched a palace coup, killed each other, and in the end, the dead and the disabled.

After this turmoil, Emperor Qing's health was not in good shape, and his condition continued to deteriorate. He felt chills for the princes around him. Suddenly, he suddenly remembered that he still had a prince in Qi.

So he hoped that Li Xu could be brought back to Qi.

However, the few surviving princes who survived the palace change thought that they had a chance of winning and would ascend the throne, so of course they would not watch Emperor Qing take Li Xu back.

In the severe winter, Emperor Qing sent envoys to Qi State, and several princes also sent people to stop them.

On Qi's side, after discussing with Prime Minister Song, Mr. Xie decided to send Li Xu back to Qing.

After all these years, they all knew what kind of character Li Xu was. Li Xu had a vicious mind, he would take revenge, and it would be difficult for him to become a great weapon in the future. If he were to ascend the throne, such a foolish and tyrant would certainly be beneficial to Qi.

That is to say, Emperor Qing's impression of him was still that of the innocent kid more than ten years ago, and he felt that he was easy to control and very filial.

However, things are not that simple in the world.

Taking advantage of the fact that the proton was in his hands, and the proton was still so worrying, Mr. Xie and Prime Minister Song ruthlessly slaughtered Qingguo, and allocated all the six hundred miles to the northwest of Qingguo and the Yinma River to the north. come over.

Of course, since he has taken his land, he has to help him send Li Xu back safely.

So Mr. Xie thought of Xie Chen.

He issued an order for Xie Chen to take a few soldiers and immediately go to the new border of Qi State - Yinma River, to bring back the envoys sent by Emperor Qing.

Mr. Xie is an old bandit, and he is not afraid of death, so he feels that his grandson must not be afraid of death either.

It is not the Xie family who are afraid of death.

And this time, Mr. Xie also had the intention of competing with Qing Guo.

In the words of Mr. Xie, it is——

"The son of Emperor Qing, a waste."

"My son and grandson, amazing. Except for that damn dick."

"Didn't his son send someone to chase after him? I won't send my son, I will send my grandson. I will overwhelm him, and my grandson can overwhelm his son."

Mr. Xie put his hands on the armrest, leaned back, raised his legs, and smiled.

At that time, Song Jiao was holding a pen to write the transfer order, and he really didn't know how to write what Mr. Xie said, so he didn't write it in the end.

Anyway, Xie Chen must know what his grandfather meant, after all, they are all from Xie's family.

This also became the letter and transfer order Xie Chen received.

Xie Chen folded the letter and put it in his arms, then took the transfer order and went to find General Liu.

General Liu read the transfer order, and after checking it was correct, he released him.

But he was a little puzzled: "Your Majesty didn't give you the Tiger Talisman, how did you lead the troops?"

Xie Chen said: "It's a piece of cake, it's enough for me to bring a hundred people, there is no need to use the Tiger Talisman."

But General Liu still didn't understand.

"Brother Shen, can't it be that your highness trusts you so much that he directly asks you to lead the troops? Even His Majesty and Prime Minister Song trust you so much?"

"I..." Xie Chen didn't know how to explain.

Just... because His Majesty and Prime Minister Song trust my wife very much, they also trust me very much.

Speaking of this, it seems that he is a soft food.

Really bad.

Forget it, there is no way to explain it, so let's not explain it at all.

Xie Chen shook his fist at General Liu, turned around and left.

After he left, General Liu was still thinking about it.

It is simply puzzling.

In the end, he came to a conclusion, oh, it turns out that Brother Shen and His Royal Highness had met the parents long ago, and His Majesty and Prime Minister Song both approved of this marriage.

General Liu nodded approvingly, the couple I love are so sweet.

General Liu Xizi held his heart.

On the other side, Xie Chen immediately ordered 150 people from his subordinates, telling them to go back and pack their bags immediately, and set off overnight for the Yinma River.

Pipa Island was originally on the border, and it was not too far from here to Yinma River.

That night, marching lightly, Xie Chen rode a horse with brisk hoofs, crossing the grassland and stepping across the bright moon.

Early the next morning, the horseshoe set foot on the land of Qing Kingdom.

He was riding on a horse, standing on a hill, and in front of him was the endless snowfield, the territory of Qi State.

Another seven or eight days, at night, hundreds of people arrived at the bank of the Yinma River.

In winter, the river freezes, and the surging water cannot be seen. Xie Chen led his people across the river on the suspension bridge.

It was the first time that Horseshoe set foot on the land of the Qing Kingdom, and it was also the first time that Xie Chen really came to the border of the Qing Kingdom.

On the other side of the river is the low city wall, and the buildings in the city can be seen at a glance. The buildings of Qing Dynasty are full of lights.

Xie Chen held a halberd in his hand, and a feeling of wanting to trample the entire Qing Kingdom under his horse's hooves spontaneously arose.

He is not naturally warlike, but facing such a tempting situation, it is hard for him not to be tempted.

Just as Xie Chen was about to order the soldiers to stay here, he heard the sound of shouts of killing and sword clashes coming from the tower, and then the sound got closer and closer, and someone was beating the city gate.

Xie Chen held the halberd in his hand: "Go, go and have a look."

It's like coming to your own home.

The city gate was quickly opened from the city, a soldier was driving a carriage, and the horses were frightened and galloping forward.Behind the carriage, the chasing and resisting people were in a mess.

The Qing Kingdom was in total chaos.

Some even dared to stop the envoys sent by the emperor.

The soldiers driving the carriage saw them and shouted loudly: "We are the envoys sent by the Emperor Qing, we are the envoys sent by the Emperor Qing! Rebels...I..."

He suddenly didn't know what to say, asking outsiders to help them deal with the rebellious ministers and thieves was really... so embarrassing.

Suddenly, the people in the carriage lifted the curtain of the carriage and poked their heads out.

It was an old man with gray and thin hair and a gray and thin beard. He shouted in a high spirit: "I am Gong Yixiu, the envoy of the Qing Kingdom, and I came to meet the Seventh Prince of the Qing Kingdom. The envoys came to help."

He didn't say he was a traitor, he said he was a traitor; he didn't say Qi army, he only said Qi envoy.

In a critical moment, Qingguo's face must be preserved.

Xie Chen sneered, raised his halberd, rushed forward, and swept away the enemies with a wave of his hand.

After a while, the corpses were scattered all over the field, and the surviving remnants of the defeated generals gathered next to the carriage of the envoy of the Qing Kingdom. Xie Chen, carrying the halberd that was still dripping blood, rode on the horse and walked briskly to the carriage. .

After a while of silence, the envoy in the carriage finally compromised. He lifted the curtain of the carriage, got down to the ground, and bowed to Xie Chen who was riding on the horse.

"Hello, General. This old man is Gong Yixiu, the envoy of the Qing Kingdom. Thank you, General, for your rescue."

Xie Chen still didn't dismount, but just raised his chin at him: "Let's go, I'll send you to Fengxiang City."

"Thank you."

After crossing the Yinma River and entering the border of Qi State, the people of Qing State did not dare to be presumptuous here again.

All the way was safe and sound, Xie Chen escorted the envoys of the Qing Kingdom to Fengxiang City all the way, the snow was deep in winter, the carriage often got stuck in the snow, the old gentleman couldn't be tired, he stopped and stopped, I'm afraid it would take a lot of time on the road .

So Xie Chen sent someone to deliver a letter to Fengxiang City first, to tell Fengxiang City the general situation of the envoys of Qing Kingdom.

When the letter was delivered to Fengxiang City, Master Xie and Prime Minister Song were sitting by the fire, reading the memorial while warming up.

Mr. Xie nodded in satisfaction: "Well, yes, brother Shen has done a good job in this matter, and cut the mess quickly."

He continued to look down: "Gong, Yi, Xiu? Who is this? The name is weird, oh, it's an old man, why did Qingguo send an old man here? Is there no one in Qingguo?"

Prime Minister Song closed his eyes and said softly, "Stop talking."

"Ah?" Mr. Xie was puzzled, and suddenly realized that he was from the Qing Kingdom. The Prime Minister of our country was also from the Qing Kingdom in the past. He only came here after living in the Qing Kingdom for 40 years.

Master Xie asked, "Do you recognize it?"

"My..." Prime Minister Song paused, "Teacher."

Master Xie took a deep breath: "Hiss, Lao Song, you..."

"This is my teacher." Prime Minister Song nodded and repeated.

Master Xie said angrily: "Damn, Emperor Qing is not too stupid. He knows that your teacher can control you, so he sent him here on purpose. Qing doesn't talk about martial ethics!"

"He should be 90 years old this year. He had already retired when I left Qingguo." Prime Minister Song pursed his lips, "Qingguo actually asked him to come as an envoy."

"Then..." Master Xie said weakly, "Then I won't embarrass him, do you think it's okay?"

Stopping and stopping along the way, two months later, on this evening, Xie Chen arrived at a post house ten miles away from Fengxiang City with the envoys of the Qing Kingdom.

He asked people to arrange for the envoys of the Qing Dynasty to stay in the posthouse, and then set off on the next day.

But he himself rode a horse and left the post house alone in light clothes.

The envoy could wait all night, but Xie Chen couldn't wait, he was going to Fengxiang City now, the closer he was to Fengxiang City, the faster his heart beat.

Counting it, he and Song Jiao haven't seen each other for almost half a year.

In the past six months, Xie Chen had passed his 16th birthday, and Song Jiao was about to celebrate his 16th birthday.

Another year has passed——

One year closer to the age when you can get married, Xie Chen thought so.

Xie Chen was coming back, of course Song Jiao also received the news in advance, but the news he received was that Xie Chen would arrive tomorrow.

Therefore, that night, when he met Xie Chen in the corridor of Taixue with his friends while holding a book, he was still a little dazed.

Xie Chen led the horse, leaned on the wall with one hand, and cast a look at him.

—Hi, wife!

Song Jiao paused for a moment, then took a step back subconsciously, feeling goosebumps all over her body and hairs all over her heart.

What is this? !

None of the friends around him spoke, he should be the only one who could see this strange creature.

It shouldn't be Brother Shen, he must have met a seductive male vixen.

But this method of seduction doesn't seem to be very good, and there is even a sense of joy.

Song Jiao held back her laughter, hugged the book, lowered her head, turned around and left.

Can't see me, can't see me, don't seduce me.

Then he was wrapped around his waist from behind, picked up, and his feet left the ground.

"Why did you leave when you saw me?"

Xie Chen came to him before he could take off his armor, so he took off his helmet and put on the rabbit ears hat Song Jiao gave him, but Song Jiao turned his head and left when he saw him.

Xie Shen is going to make trouble!

He hugged Song Jiao forcefully, wrapped his arms around his waist with only one arm, and surrounded him tightly. With the other hand, he took off the hat on his head and put it on Song Jiao: "Wife!"
