Reborn Emperor's Wife

Liang Wusheng was not in the mood to watch such a bloody and violent incident of suppressing bandits, so he joined in the fun and went to Wanning Temple to participate in the sacrifice with Qi Chengqian.Wanning City is the location of the Qi Family Ancestral Hall. Although it is not as beautiful as the Qi Dynasty, there are still some things that should be insisted on, just like this sacrifice.

The day of the sacrifice was set on the birthday of the founding emperor of the Great Qi Dynasty, which happened to be the day when all things were revived. From this, we prayed to God to bless the Qi family with safety and prosperity, to bless the country and the people of Daqi, and to pray for a bumper crop... The place of the sacrifice was at Wanning Temple.

In Wanning Temple, as Lou Yinan said, many historical sites are preserved, such as stone steles and stone carvings, which are all old objects, and there are many pens and inks left by great writers during the Qi Dynasty. If Wanning was not remote , Neighboring to Xia Kingdom, there are bandits causing disasters, otherwise Wanning City can prosper by relying on Wanning Temple.

This year is different from the sacrifices in previous years. This year, a prince came to Wanning City, who is the biggest official in Wanning. The elders of the Qi family and the local gentry began to prepare for the sacrifices in anticipation of this year's sacrifices. It can be different and bring a new atmosphere to Wanning. Therefore, this year's sacrificial activities are twice as long as in previous years. It took nearly two hours from the beginning of Mao to the end of Chen. The huge momentum really opened the eyes of Qi Chengqian and his party.Wanning’s rituals are different from those in the capital and south of the Yangtze River. They are full of northern characteristics and Wanning’s local style. It is said that there are things in the ceremony that have been passed down from the Great Qi Dynasty, and they were also influenced by Xia Guo.

The combination of rustic atmosphere and elegant style is quite interesting.

On the way back, Liang Wusheng was still thinking about the dance during the sacrifice, drawing circles with his fingers in the air, and was about to tell Lin Mingxiu after returning, when the carriage stopped suddenly, and an arrow shot straight through the window When she came in, she was unprepared and cut her arm by a sharp arrow.

Talking about what happened, Liang Wusheng was still terrified and terrified, "The other party was prepared and shot arrows from the beginning. There were many, many arrows, as if they couldn't run out. We were defenseless and could only find places to hide, and then rushed out again. People holding high swords, those people are wearing the clothes of Xia Guo soldiers, rushing to cut people." Liang Wusheng huddled on the stool and trembled desperately, with one hand tightly grasping the hem of Lin Mingxiu's clothes, with Lin Mingxiu at the side, she found it The backbone, when he spoke, he was not calm and composed, but he was also clear and organized, explaining the situation at that time one by one. "Those people don't know what they used. People will faint when they smell it. Their target is the prince. There are the most enemies there. I was frightened. I didn't know how to run away. It was Xiaopanzi who pushed me and covered me." I got on the horse, let me escape, let me come to find the captain, I don’t know what happened to Xiaobingzi, Xiaoyi and the prince, the captain must rescue them quickly..."

Lou Yinan suppressed his anger and anxiety, after listening to Liang Wusheng's words, he ordered troops immediately after knowing the whole story, and asked Wu Jingshen to prepare his troops and set off.But he was worried about the child in his arms, and he kissed and kissed the child's tender face. Cong'er was also infected by the tense atmosphere, her small face was tense, and her two small hands were also clenched into fists. Liang's eyes were full of ignorance, and his head turned with Lou Yinan's movements, as if he was afraid of being left behind by his father.

Seeing his son like this, Lou Yinan's heart ached, he squeezed his son's little hand, "Stay at home obediently, father will bring your father back later." Ruthlessly, he didn't look at the child's little face, Lou Yinan entrusted the child to Shi Shi and Qiushuang to take care of him, and specially told Qiushuang to stay by Cong'er's side all the time. After the instructions were over, he would have someone protect Cong'er and go back to the old house as soon as possible, and ordered Lin Mingxiu to return before he and Qi Chengqian came back. Preside over the overall situation, strictly guard the old house, and don't let anyone in.

Speeding up the horse and reaching the place where the enemy raided, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a field full of corpses, Lou Yinan's heart sank immediately.

"Master, none of them died, they just passed out." Wu Jing immediately replied after investigating deeply.

Lou Yinan took a quick glance and found Qi Chengqian's horse. He rode the horse and found a note on the saddle with a few crosses on it, and he knew his consciousness at a glance.Lou Yinan held the note on Qi Chengqian's horse with a cold face, "Just count the number of people, and go to Xia Kingdom with me."

It was written on the paper that Princess Xia invited Colonel Lou to go to Molin City to get together, and when they got there, they could meet the people they wanted to see.

Wanning City is already the northernmost point of the Daqi Kingdom, but it is not just on the border. Going further north through the mountains is the Xia Kingdom. Although the straight-line distance is only ten miles away, there are natural mountains and forests as a barrier.It's just that this barrier is not long, and it only protects a narrow north side, and the other open places are like opening the door to the Great Xia Kingdom.Leaving aside these for the time being, let’s just say that Molin City is just to the northeast of Wanning, behind the mountains and forests. forest city.Daqi State and Xia State have business contacts, if there are no bandits, the business roads in Jianzhou will not be too prosperous, and it can also drive the business of Rongzhou. On the one hand, it is to open up business routes, allowing more merchants to enter the Great Xia Kingdom from the business routes here in Jianzhou City.

There were merchants, bodyguards, and other people who licked blood with their knives to make a living. Lou Yinan led Wu Jingshen and a group of ten people dressed as merchants. The goods they transported were ten carts of tea oil from Jianzhou City.

Molin City is the smallest of the many border cities of Xia Kingdom close to Daqi, but it is also the most prosperous one. Due to its special geographical location, it is the closest to Daqi and also the closest to Xiaoguo. There are many people gathered in the city. There are merchants from Da Qi and Xiao countries, who sell everything that one expects to find, and it is very prosperous.

Xia Guo is to the north, and it is much colder than Da Qi. At the end of February, he was still wearing big hairy clothes. Lou Yinan pretended to be a merchant and transported ten carts of Jianzhou tea oil, and sold them all in less than three days. Lou Yinan was a bit dumbfounded when he got to know Molin City, did he indirectly discover a business opportunity to raise military pay? !

The tea oil in Jianzhou is a good thing in Xia State. It should be said that many things from Da Qi State sell well in Xia State. Xia Guo has a custom of worshiping the royal family of Da Qi Dynasty. He walks, sits, sleeps, dresses and dresses like Da Qi Dynasty. At that time, the Great Qi State was the inheritance of the Great Qi Dynasty, and of course it inherited more things from the Great Qi Dynasty.

The emperor of the Xia Kingdom is fatuous and old. He is currently bedridden, and it is estimated that he will pass away in a while.Because of the old emperor's serious illness, the competition between the sons and daughters for the throne has shifted from the secret to the open. In the end, the whereabouts of the old emperor's son-in-law is unknown, and the daughter-in-law, the eldest princess, monopolizes the power.

The news of the missing prince has spread throughout the Three Kingdoms, and it is impossible for the eldest princess to hide it.The disappearance of the first prince made Xia Kingdom restless, and all forces were ready to move, but the eldest princess was powerful, and even more ruthless than men. She killed the courtiers who committed rebellion three times in a row. , Such a woman is more vicious than a lion, it is simply frightening.

The Eldest Princess used this method to suppress all the fugitives, making the voice of resistance completely disappear on the surface.

There are rumors that the direct prince has actually been killed by the Eldest Princess. The Eldest Princess herself intends to take the throne, eradicate dissidents, and monopolize the imperial court. Once the old emperor closes her eyes, she will be the next emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom.

The reason why I say this is because Daxia has a tradition of female proclaiming emperor. There have been three empresses in Daxia since the founding of the country, so the battle for the throne in Daxia is more cruel than other countries. Princes and princesses are born with As for the possibility of inheriting the throne, who would not want to become an emperor of the Ninth Five-Year High, and in his position, he had to fight for it, and if he didn't want to fight, someone would force himself to fight for it.

Xia Kingdom's royal family is just like Xia Kingdom's geographical environment. It is as cold as ice and cruel as winter. Talking about family affection in such a family is like a joke, but there are no absolutes in the world, there are always exceptions...

Lou Yinan came quietly, not to startle the snake, but to understand the situation in Molin City. Wu Jingshen and others found out that the eldest princess son-in-law came to Molin City recently, and now he is staying at the posthouse.

"We'll meet this son-in-law in the afternoon." The situation in the post house has also been investigated clearly, except for the son-in-law, there is really no one else, and there is no shadow of the eldest princess, let alone Qi Chengqian and the others.

Xiao Bingzhi and Rong Yi were also kidnapped together with Qi Chengqian. The three living people are not a small number, but they have searched all over Molin City and have not found the three of them, or any possible hiding places.Molin City is very prosperous, but this border city is not big, that is, it is about the size of a small town. Three days is enough for Wu Jingshen and his party to search for it. You must know that there are many "falcons" coming overtly and secretly.

The posthouse in Molin City is located in the east of the city, and it usually entertains some officials. It is rare to see the royal family and relatives. This time, the son-in-law's sudden visit is the great honor of the posthouse.The eldest princess son-in-law is an elegant person, a scholar who never puts down a book. He was the number one scholar back then, and was recruited by the eldest princess as a son-in-law. Since then, he has lost the opportunity to be a king and a minister, and has become a vassal of a woman, but the son-in-law does not like to fight. , lack of desire for fame and fortune, prefer to recite poems and paint, make friends widely, open a study, attract scholars from all over the world to study, have a high reputation among literati for more than ten years, it can be regarded as unintentional.

Lou Yinan did not sneak into the post house, but directly reported his name. He waited outside for a while, and a man came up to him. The man was wearing a moon-white cross-collared gown and a dark crane cloak, looking graceful , Gentle and handsome, but not heroic.Walking side by side with the man is an elegant scholar with a gentle temperament and a quiet and beautiful demeanor like a lake. However, compared with the other man, the scholar's aura is much weaker, but according to the information collected before, the scholar is more It fits the description of a son-in-law, as for the other man...

Lou Yinan sized her up and smiled, "I've never seen a family with such a heroic daughter as the eldest princess."

A heroic man, no, it should be said that the eldest princess also smiled and said: "Lieutenant Lou really has good eyesight." Unlike the heroic appearance on the outside, the voice of the eldest princess is very charming and moving. With a good voice, everyone who hears it will be a little drunk.

"It's not that someone has good eyesight, but that the eldest princess has an extraordinary temperament. You can tell it at a glance."

"Oh!" The eldest princess raised her eyebrows, "Unexpectedly, the captain has a clever mouth. It is better to meet him than to be famous. The captain is indeed a good-looking talent. If I have already been a general in my Great Xia, how can I be relegated to the position of captain."

"Even if it's as the princess said, what I get will only be an official position, and these are not what I want." Lou Yinan stood with his hands behind his back, looked at the princess and said, "Is it true that the princess is like this?" Hospitality?" Standing outside the door and talking to guests, this kind of etiquette is really rare!

"It's because I didn't think carefully, please come to the captain."
