Cao Shaoqin also didn't know that the owner of Zixiao Palace was actually Liu Hao himself. This acting palace owner was most likely controlled by Huang Rong as the palace owner's wife.
Only Huang Rong's wisdom and strategy can develop the Zixiao Palace to this scale!
Fengling Ferry?
Thinking of the beauty's beautiful smile, Liu Hao's heart warmed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "In that case, Shaoqin, go and gather a dozen people, and follow me to pick up the emperor's concubine!"
"Here!"
Cao Shaoqin didn't even ask and agreed without hesitation.
...
...
Yellow River, Fengling Ferry.
This is the legendary place where the second Miss Guo Xiang met Yang Guo and made a lifelong mistake in the Divine Eagle.
Liu Hao also intuitively felt that something would happen in this place, so he decided to greet Huang Rong in person.
...
...
The cold wind is like a knife.
It was winter at this time, heavy snowflakes were floating in the sky, and the ground was completely white.
The water of the Yellow River comes up from the sky. It is a severe winter and the surface of the Yellow River is frozen, making it very difficult for boats to pass.
There is no other way for merchants passing from the north to the south to find an inn to rest first in a small town on the edge of Fengling Ferry...
This old shop has a dim yellow wine flag hanging outside the door. It looks like it has been there for many years, and the business is much busier than usual.
The old shopkeeper was overjoyed, and the clerks were even more busy. A fire was lit in the center of the inn hall, and everyone sat around to keep it warm.
It's just that the dim yellow flag outside this old shop is still fluttering alone in the wind and snow. The name is even more interesting. It turns out to be "Fengling Andu".
Andu Andu means that all the merchants coming and going can cross the river safely.
However, during the years of war and chaos, the Jin Empire dominated the north and was at its peak. The Mongolian and Yuan tribes on the grasslands also dominated the grasslands under the leadership of the immortal hero Kublai Khan.
Under the watchful eye of these two powerful enemies, the imperial court of the Southern Song Dynasty was left sluggishly living in the south without any intention of making progress, still singing in the backyard across the river.
Bang! Bang!
In the hall of the shop, a fire was being lit, the cypress wood was burning, emitting light and heat, and the fragrance was flowing everywhere.
A nine-foot-tall man with a big hammer started shouting: "Why doesn't the snow stop? I'm rushing to cross the river... Oh!"
An old man beside the fire grinned and said: "Little brother, if you can't find a boatman for a while, you won't be able to cross the river. Unless you are a god who descends to earth and can run across the river and the sea!"
The man with the hammer sighed: "It would be great if I were a god descended to earth. I would kill all those bastard Tartars with one hammer at a time!"
"Well said!"
"Whether it's Meng Yuan or Da Jin, they are both dog-Tatars like beasts. My father and mother were killed, and my wife was snatched away..."
"Fuck the fucking dog Tartar!"
There was a roar of response in the old store.
The number of Han people persecuted by the Mongols and the Jin Kingdom is unknown. Every year, many people flee from the north to the south.
The hero with the hammer took a big gulp of wine and gritted his teeth and said: "How can I be willing to kill all these Tatars while I'm still alive? This time I crossed the river to join Marshal Ye Zhong... His old man was ordered to
Guard the border and use your troops like a god. In the future, you will lead your troops north to reorganize the rivers and mountains. You will definitely kill all those dog Tatars and clear the world!"
"Hmph! The Southern Song Dynasty court had a cowardly king and treacherous ministers. It would be great if they could not be destroyed. How could they be the rivals of Mongolia and the Jin Kingdom!?"
Everyone in the store was attracted by the pleasant sound like a silver bell.
I saw this girl, wearing a light green jacket, with a string of pearls hanging from her snow-like neck, each bead glowing faintly!
Looking at this girl's face again, her facial features are beautiful and spiritual. She is not the soft and graceful of ordinary Jiangnan women. Instead, she has a very three-dimensional sense (refer to Reba). The movement of her eyes can move people's hearts!
Huh?!
Everyone in the store stared straight ahead and took a breath: Which girl from a noble family is so beautiful!?
The girl in the green coat was sitting in the corner, but she said calmly and generously: "Brother, if you really want to defect, you must also defect to the Holy Emperor of the Han Dynasty... This Holy Emperor of the Han Dynasty is a hero, unparalleled, and invincible. Isn't it better than that?
How much stronger was the Southern Song Dynasty court?!"
"Yes, this girl is right..."
"Kang Wang Zhao Gou became more and more greedy for enjoyment and appointed the treacherous minister Jia Sidao and Qin Hui. It is indeed unreasonable!"
"The Northern Expedition is impossible. It's impossible in this life... The old commander Ye Zhong controls the army, but he is suppressed by Zhao Gouhunjun's order..."
"Do you still remember the time when the Holy Emperor shocked the world with his sword and killed Jin Wushu among a hundred thousand soldiers?"
"Why don't you remember? I heard that the Holy Emperor of the Han Dynasty is going to march eastward recently and is approaching Lin'an!"
...
Speaking of the Holy Emperor of the Han Dynasty, the atmosphere in the old store suddenly became lively.
The man with the heavy hammer figured it out. He raised his glass and said with a smile: "Girl, you have extraordinary knowledge. I admire you deeply. I'd like to toast you!"
After saying that, he held up the big wine bowl and started to drink from it.
"Come! Brother, I respect you!"
The girl in the green coat did not show any timidity. She held up the wine bowl and began to sip the wine in small sips with a very beautiful posture.
"Xiang'er, drink less!"
Next to the girl in the green coat, there is a woman in red clothes. She has white and tender skin, a plump nose, willow eyebrows and apricot eyes. She is also a rare beauty.
The girl in the green coat said: "Sister, do you think we can see the Holy Emperor of Han this time?"
Before the woman in red clothes had time to answer, there was a cold and strange laughter coming from outside the door: "Haha, this horse is not bad, it has a weird temperament..."
"Since the prince likes it, it belongs to the prince... Come, take it back!"
It was quiet inside the palace, but there was a burst of noisy shouting outside. Accompanied by the sound of wind and snow, there was a sudden bang and the door was kicked open.
"Han Dog, if you have good wine and meat, feel free to have it!"
A nine-foot-strong bald man, holding a giant axe, shouted with a pair of bull's eyes. There was a rapid sound of footsteps behind him, and a dozen strong men wearing Jin Dynasty costumes came in. Finally, surrounded by a young man in a gorgeous brocade robe, he walked
Come in.
This group of people were very domineering, and they were really arrogant, and they sat down directly in the store.
Everyone in the store was angry but dared not speak out, and the shopkeeper was even more cautious in serving the food and wine.
The young man in the Huali brocade robe was obviously the leader among the crowd. His appearance was fair and tender, but his whole person had a cold air of excessive indulgence. His eyes were narrowed like poisonous snakes, and he sneered and asked: "Han dogs.
