Chapter 72: A gentleman is open-minded, and a king is even worse
The red-armored army pushed away for several miles, and Qi Rancai looked back, gritted his teeth and said, "That's true!"
"Why should the prince be afraid? It's just Zhang Jiugong. If the prince is willing to use all his strength, he can't stop him." A general rode up to Qi Ran's side, cupped his hands and said, "With eight thousand red armors, we will definitely be able to stop him today."
Kill Lu Xing."
"Stupid!" Qi Ran flicked the scabbard of his sword, slapped it on the general's waist, and cursed: "Even if I kill Lu Xing and Qi Mu dies, I can't go back to Dongran. Tell me, with His Majesty the Emperor's
Ambition, how can Dongran survive?"
"Have you forgotten what Lu Xing said? That half-class Confucian sage is in Youzhou."
Qi Ran reined in his horse and shouted: "Withdraw the troops and return to Dong Ran."
"The world has not yet been settled. According to the secret agent, the Northern Barbarians have already moved south. I would like to see if Lu Shuang is seriously injured. Can the North Land stop millions of barbarian soldiers?" Qi Mu raised his sword high and laughed: "If not.
, then I will fight back with Dongran disciples!"
"A half-class Confucian sage, right? I'm really looking forward to it. If the Great Zhou Dynasty that you rely on falls apart, how long can you maintain this state?"
"There are still heavenly beings who can enter the world, and I, Qi Ran, don't mind waiting for another five years!"
…
After the red armor left, the green armor once again surrounded everyone's carriage. All the soldiers in Da Zhou wore green armor, and the people in the convoy were not as panicked as before.
"Zhang Jiugong, since you are here, I guess 30,000 black cavalry have already approached the five passes of the plain," Lu Xing said with a smile, looking at the green-armored cavalry passing by. The cavalry of the Great Zhou Dynasty were mostly equipped with crossbows.
Zhang Jiugong reined up his horse and stopped in front of Lu Xing, saying, "Your Majesty, it's better to get on the carriage. I will lead Qing Jia to escort you out of the customs. The thirty thousand black cavalry will leave as soon as possible, and my pressure will be relieved."
Lu Xing walked towards the carriage and asked as he walked: "By the way, did the great master come in person?"
"Heh," Zhang Jiugong sneered, "No."
"Okay, okay," Lu Xing said, returning to the carriage.
Escorted by eight thousand green-armored cavalry, the carriage set off again.
Not far away in Jiacheng, an old man in plain clothes looked at the direction Qing Jia left and shook his head and sighed, "Oh, it's all in vain. But it's really difficult to grasp the north-south chess game."
The driver was a young boy. The boy lowered his head and said, "Sir, do we want to go back?"
"Go back," the old man in plain clothes put his hands behind his waist, returned to the carriage, lifted the curtain, and said to the young boy, "Don't think about having fun, you haven't finished your studies yet."
"I know," the immature boy was a little reluctant. He sat back in the front room to drive the car, and as soon as he lowered his whip, he said, "Sit tight, sir. The car is bumpy."
The carriage is not moving very fast. At the current speed, it may be difficult to reach Kua'e Pass before sunset.
In the carriage, Lu Xing was guarding the beauty, which was not boring at all.
Lu Xing held Wei Ying's little hand and asked, "Have you ever been out of the Northland? Did you ever think that this day would happen in your life?"
"No," Wei Ying shook her head and said, "I grew up in Jiacheng, and I thought I was going to die in Jiacheng, but I didn't expect that I met the young master, and we were really...'enemies'."
Lu Xing chuckled and said, "If you marry me, you will be marrying far away. Do you know how far Beidi is from here?"
"I don't know," Wei Ying shook her head.
"It's very far away. It can't be said to be ten thousand miles away." Lu Xing held his hands very long, as if explaining to Wei Ying how far ten thousand miles away was. "If Jiacheng is the size of a sesame seed, then it is probably about 10,000 miles away from the north."
Count from your right shoulder to your left shoulder.”
"Lah, haha," Wei Ying covered her mouth and chuckled. She pulled Lu Xing's hands onto her knees and said, "It's not like I haven't read a book. I went to a private school when I was a child. It is said that my eldest brother went out to be a soldier. Later, his family became wealthy.
Luo, my father passed away, and my mother also died in depression. Later, Shen Yang came to propose marriage, and I got married. After all, I am still half a lady."
When Lu Xing heard that Wei Ying had an elder brother, he quickly asked, "Do you still have contact with the elder brother?"
"No," Wei Ying shook her head, with a bit of disappointment in her eyes, and said, "Don't talk about me anymore. It was when my parents were still alive, and there was no news about my eldest brother in his second year as a soldier."
"It's a pity," Lu Xing held Wei Ying's hand tightly and said, "It's okay, Xuejin City will be your home from now on."
Outside the car curtain, the earth is dim and the sunlight is getting less and less.
"Young master, I just don't know who your real wife is? I heard that nobles have a lot of troubles in their mansions, and it's not easy to get along with them..." Wei Ying hid her little hands in her sleeves, her head lowered, as if she asked something unforgettable.
Lu Xing was slightly stunned, then laughed and said, "What are you thinking about? I haven't married yet."
"However, since Ying'er asked, I won't hide it from you." Lu Xing's eyes drifted far away, with a slight smile on his face, and said: "There is a little Taoist nun in Longhu Mountain named Song Qingran. She is older than you.
Xiao, only sixteen years old, I made a two-year appointment with her when I came down from the mountain."
"Within two years, I will go to the mountain to propose marriage and ask for the position of Princess of the North. If she is willing to marry me, then she will be my official wife."
"Are you willing?" Wei Ying, her eyes flashing slightly, asked in a low voice: "Why do you say that? Since we have made a marriage contract, it naturally counts."
Lu Xing stretched out his hand to lift the black hair from Wei Ying's forehead, looked at her beautiful face, and said softly: "I have no choice but to be passionate. If Qingran is angry with me, I really don't know how to face it."
"That's true. Young Master falls in love with each other when he sees her. If Ying turns old and yellow, Young Master will not care about me anymore." Wei Ying turned her face away, avoiding Lu Xing's gaze, and sighed falsely.
"What are you talking about?" Lu Xing said sternly: "We will miss each other forever. Lu Xing will never forget Wei Ying. If he violates this matter, he will be punished by heaven and earth."
"Hey," Wei Ying quickly blocked Lu Xing's mouth with her fingers and said anxiously, "If the young master says such things, he will offend me."
"It's okay. If the prince doesn't come to see me or stay with me when he gets old, I will consciously leave the prince."
A smile appeared at the corners of Wei Ying's lips, and her eyes filled with smiles as she said, "As for Ying, she feels that she is still pretty even when she gets older. When the time comes, Ying will remarry and find someone who can stay with me for the rest of her life."
"Hey," Lu Xing's mouth twitched slightly, he held Wei Ying's forearm, got a little closer, pressed Ying under him, and pretended to be angry: "Ying'er is so eloquent, I really let this prince
It's an eye-opener. If I don't take care of you today, I'm afraid I will have to bow my head when I meet Wei Ying in the future."
"Ah ha ha, ha ha ha..." Wei Ying's face was filled with red clouds, her ears were already red, her shawl was not even falling off, and half of her shoulders were exposed, as crisp as jade.
"Sir, stop, stop, I can't do it anymore..."
"Don't scratch it, I'm crying."
"Cang," the ground seemed to be shaken, and the frame fell to the ground.
Lu Xing opened the curtain of his carriage and took a look. It turned out that eight thousand cavalry had stopped in unison. The sun was no longer visible in the sky, and they seemed to be settling down here for the night.
"Your Majesty, we are going to spend the night here." Jin Dafu said with cupped hands.
Lu Xing nodded. At the end of the day and night, he was quite satisfied with Jin Dafu. "Go and help Feng Liangping. It may be difficult for him to deal with those women by himself."
"Okay," Jin Dafu agreed, then bowed and retreated.
Lu Xing looked back at Wei Ying and asked, "What do you think of Ying'er? Do you want to get off the carriage and walk around, or stay in the car?"
"Humph," Wei Ying snorted coldly and angrily knocked off Lu Xing's outstretched hand. She straightened the dress on her chest and tied up the pink shawl. "Of course I got off the car. I'm alone here.
I’m bored to death with nothing to do in the car, and it’s not as fun as working on my vegetable garden.”
"Quick, give me your shoulder, I want to get off the car," Wei Ying walked out of the car and stepped into the front room. She looked at the high ground. Because she was wearing a skirt, she had nowhere to stay.
"I blame you for insisting that I wear a dress, which is not as convenient as tight-fitting tops and bottoms." Wei Ying was half-carried out of the carriage by Lu Xing. The blush on her cheeks had not dissipated, but it was repainted at this moment.
A touch of rouge.
Lu Xing couldn't laugh or cry, and said helplessly: "You have a fever and are sweating all over. If you don't change your clothes, you will probably have to complain to me. Besides, your clothes are not warm either."
"Hmm," Wei Ying curled her lips, tightened the hem of the skirt around her neck again, and said, "That means this shawl is made of silk. I like it very much when I touch it."
"As long as you like it," Lu Xing chuckled, and once again touched Wei Ying's mutton-fat hands, which were as warm as ruby to the touch.
In the distance, a soldier in green armor walked towards Lu Xing's carriage. When he got closer, the soldier cupped his hands and said, "I have seen the prince. General Zhang has given a banquet. Please come over and have a look."
"I understand, please step back first." Lu Xing smiled faintly. Zhang Jiugong put him in crisis twice, and he really didn't like it.
After the soldiers retreated, Lu Xing turned to Wei Ying and asked, "What do you mean? Do you want to have a banquet? I guess there are delicacies from all over the world. Would Ying'er want to go?"
"Delicacies from the mountains and seas?" Wei Ying hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is the food at Youzhao Nanxuan delicious?"
Lu Xing chuckled, nodded and said: "Don't worry, there must be some. You can't tell that my Ying'er is usually cold and cold, but she is still a greedy little cat."
"No way," Wei Ying coughed twice and hurriedly explained: "The most important thing in this world is to eat well. Everyone likes delicious food."
Lu Xing said: "Okay, then you and I will know Zhang Jiugong. I remember that this Zhang Jiugong was once a celebrity of His Majesty the Emperor. It is said that he was punished to guard the five passes of the plain after he committed something."
"Oh, Lu Xing, please tell me, could it be this Nine Bows..." Wei Ying's eyes lit up and she tugged on Lu Xing's sleeves. Her daughter's family loves gossip the most, and she is no exception.
"It is said, it is said," Lu Xing riddled for a while. When he saw Wei Ying grabbing the flesh of his waist, he quickly surrendered and said, "Zhang Jiugong had an affair with a princess of His Majesty's Majesty.
He ran outside the palace in the name of an outing, but he ended up hanging out with Zhang Jiugong."
"This matter was widely publicized by people with ulterior motives, and word spread among the public. The emperor couldn't bear to lose face, so he transferred Zhang Jiugong from Kyoto and demoted him to guard the five passes of the plain."
Wei Ying blinked her bright eyes, with a look of expectation on her face, and sighed: "The princess is a hard-working person, and your majesty is not kind. Isn't this trying to spoil the relationship?"
Lu Xing quickly covered Wei Ying's mouth and said helplessly: "What a woman who dares to talk about His Majesty."
"Hmph," Wei Ying opened Lu Xing's hand and murmured in a low voice, "Your Majesty will not blame you. A stingy person will not be rewarded by the world."
It's a woman's lie, but it explains the simplest truth in the world: a gentleman is broad-minded, and a king is even more open-minded.
