The three-year agreement was originally an excuse for Tuoba Mumi to fool his daughter, but now he thought of a turning point. If Liu Ziqiu died during these three years, wouldn't everything be solved? Of course, Liu Ziqiu's skills are so impressive
People were shocked. The Tuoba tribe had no opponent, but killing did not necessarily rely solely on force. They could also poison, set fire and dig traps.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty." Liu Ziqiu shook his head, "Liu has just taken charge of the city. He has to deal with many things personally and does not dare to leave for a long time. Your Majesty, brothers Duoyun and Yuanju, whenever you have free time, you can go to the city.
As soon as I said it, Liu is waiting for you!"
In fact, Liu Ziqiu did not notice anything strange about Tuoba Mumi, but the appearance of that Xianbei man aroused Liu Ziqiu's vigilance. At such a conference, even if someone fell in love with Lin Qiaoer, they would not be able to do anything openly. That Xianbei man
The person who did this was either sent by Jin Bo or was a subordinate of a certain Xianbei noble. He obviously recognized Lin Qiaoer. Thinking back to the man who had a quick glance when he first arrived yesterday, it is very likely that Murong Fuyun's men have infiltrated into the vicinity. From
It's a four-hour journey back to Weiding City. The earlier we go, the greater the chance of safety.
Tuoba Mumi was worried about arousing Liu Ziqiu's suspicion and did not dare to persuade him any more. The two sides said goodbye.
"Master Liu, wait a moment."
Liu Ziqiu had just left the Tuoba tribe when he heard someone shouting behind him. When he looked back, he saw a leader of the Tiele tribe whom he had met at the banquet yesterday. He seemed to be named Hunluo.
Hun Luo rushed to catch up with Liu Ziqiu, and saluted on the horse: "Master Liu, didn't you notice that Meng Wu Zha and his son slipped away quietly?"
Liu Ziqiu thought about it and realized that he did not see Meng Wu Zha and his son later. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Maybe he doesn't want to marry his daughter to me."
"Yes, I didn't expect Meng Wu Zha to have such a beautiful daughter." Hun Luo sighed in admiration and said, "Although Mr. Liu ruined Kled's good deeds, we grassland people respect heroes the most. If it were Hun Luo or
Others will still marry their daughters to Mr. Liu."
Liu Ziqiu frowned: "Is this why you stopped Liu?"
Hun Luo chuckled and said, "Don't get me wrong, Mr. Liu, don't you think it's a little suspicious that Meng Wuza left without saying goodbye?"
"Thanks for the reminder! The clan leader can go to Weiding City to talk about it someday!" Liu Ziqiu raised his riding whip, "It's getting late, Liu needs to rush back to the city before dark, clan leader, please come back too!"
"Definitely, definitely, in a few days I will come to visit Mr. Liu." Hun Luo watched Liu Ziqiu and his entourage galloping away on horseback, and he did not forget to shout loudly, "It is easy to hide from open guns, but hard to guard against hidden arrows. Mr. Liu, be careful along the way!"
"
Tiele is divided into nine surnames. The situation in the clan is somewhat similar to that of Dangxiang. They are also divided and scattered. Dangxiang is concentrated in the West Sea area, while Tiele is widely distributed, and most of them are attached to the Western Turks. Only Hunluo is in the West Sea.
Although Hunluo's tribe has 3,000 young men, they still feel that they are alone.
Originally, Hun Luo only wanted to please Liu Ziqiu, the self-proclaimed governor of the West Sea. But after seeing Liu Ziqiu's skills, he was determined to embrace Liu Ziqiu's thigh.
…
By a small river more than 20 miles south, the tall and beautiful girl started to show off her temper: "Dad, how can you break your promise and disgrace us Shiwei people!"
Klie reprimanded loudly: "Wuyun, why are you talking to dad! Dad is doing it for your own good. That boy named Liu is unreliable. The king will fight back soon!"
It turned out that Meng Wu Zha's beautiful daughter was called Wu Yun. Wu Yun was taken aback and asked quickly: "Dad, my brother said that Murong Fuyun is going to fight back. Is this true?"
Mengwuza nodded and said: "That's right! The former Lord of Heaven sent a message. He said that if I can help him recapture Fuqi City, he will make me king! Now, there is a perfect one.
Chance!"
"Go, let's see where they are!" At this point, Mengwuza suddenly shook his shoulders. The golden eagle standing on his shoulders fluttered its wings, flew straight into the sky, and disappeared in an instant.
…
It was already noon in Luoyang at this time, and Xiao Concubine had just coaxed the little emperor to sleep when she saw a pretty palace maid quietly walking over and whispering: "Your Majesty, I heard that two people were missing in Xiyuan."
This maid was called Zhu Jier. When Xiao Bi was not favored by Yang Guang, the two were good sisters. Later, as Xiao Bi's status gradually increased, Zhu Jier was also transferred to Xiao Bi and became Xiao Bi's confidant. She was very fond of Xiao Bi.
His loyalty is not comparable to that of Li Cheng. He will report every detail to Xiao Concubine, and he has become Xiao Concubine's eyes and ears both inside and outside the palace.
Hou Susu and Chen Fangling escaped in the middle of the night, but just after dawn, the incident happened. It turned out that the lady in charge of Cuihua Courtyard was named Qin Fengqin, who was good at needlework, good at dancing with a pair of colorful flower poles, and she always loved to be clean.
Yesterday, there was a mess in Shanglin Xiyuan, and a lot of debris was inevitably thrown away in Cuihua Courtyard. After Qin Fengqin got up, she asked someone to clean it. Among the maids who cleaned the house, Hou Susu was the most diligent one, but after shouting for a long time, he unexpectedly
She didn't come out. Only then did some people remember that Hou Susu was called away by a beauty from Qiyin Court last night and stayed away all night.
The maids who did the cleaning and chores were not as beautiful as the ladies, and could roam around the garden. Their activities were basically limited to their respective courtyards. If it hadn't been for a turmoil, Hou Susu would not have been able to go out at all.
As the principal's wife, Qin Fengqin could not ignore it, so she personally took people to Qiyin Courtyard to inquire about Hou Susu's whereabouts.
Xie Xiangwen originally intended to cover up the two of her, but now he had to pretend to have someone search for her, and then pretended to be surprised and said: "I also lost a beauty here!"
The disappearance of two people at the same time was considered a top priority in Xiyuan. It spread quickly, making the beauties who were already panic-stricken even more uneasy.
Only then did Wang Guizhi realize that the noise in the lake last night was not a big fish at all, nor was it an illusion, but that someone had used water escape to escape from the garden. What a good idea, but it was a pity that she was not used to water.
Shanglin Xiyuan and the imperial palace were originally two systems. Except for Empress Xiao, the other concubines had no control over Xiyuan and could not even come to Xiyuan to play. Yang Guang and Empress Xiao were gone, and the sergeant guarding the gate had to report this matter
Report to the palace.
Nowadays, the Prison Gate Mansion is under the control of Pei Ji, and the Beishen Mansion is under the control of Li Ben. When the news reaches Pei Ji, it is stuck and he refuses to pass on. However, Zhu Jier often sends snacks to the guards on duty, and they are familiar with each other.
Well, a guard actually revealed the news to Zhujier.
Xiao Concubine was very angry. Although she didn’t know about Empress Xiao’s life or death yet, as the biological mother of the young emperor and the Queen Mother, she had hidden such a big thing from her. Xiao Concubine was angry, but she also understood that the situation inside and outside the palace was now very different.
With Li Yuan in control, he had no choice but to hold back his displeasure and sent someone to summon Li Yuan. It was Li Cheng who delivered the order, so he naturally told Li Yuan the whole story.
Li Yuan entered the palace, bowed and asked: "The Queen Mother summons the ministers, but I don't know why?"
Xiao Concubine said calmly: "I heard that two women were lost in Shanglin Xiyuan. I wonder how Li Aiqing dealt with them."
At this time, Li Yuan was focused on how to deal with Yang Xuangan in Chang'an. He did not care about the whereabouts of the two women. He did not let Pei Ji report to Xiao Concubine in order to avoid involving too much energy. In the face of Xiao Concubine's inquiry, he did not let go.
In his eyes, he still had to do some superficial work, so he handed over his hand and said: "Go back to the empress, I have ordered the arrest, and I should be on the case soon. This is not a big deal, so I didn't report it to the empress."
Xiao Concubine sneered and said: "It is related to the honor of the royal family, how can we treat it with trivial matters! Those two bitches must be captured, and those bitches in Xiyuan cannot be kept!"
Li Yuan was stunned and asked: "Is the empress saying that the beauties from Xiyuan will be distributed to the Ning family?"
"Distributing to the Ning family?" Xiao Concubine snorted and said, "Wouldn't that be an advantage for them? It is my decree that all the women in Xiyuan, whether they are wives, beauties or maids, will be sent to the army.
Reward the soldiers of the three armies!"
Yang Guang often visited Xiyuan for ten days and a half. Xiao Concubine often stayed alone in the empty room and stayed awake all night. She was always jealous of the women in Xiyuan. Now that she was in power, this happened again.
Naturally, I have to take advantage of the situation and take care of them.
And after what happened in the past few days, Xiao Bi finally understood the importance of military power. Now it is difficult to get involved in military affairs, but she refused to give up. In her name, the beauties in Xiyuan were awarded to the three armies.
This was her first step to win over the military.
"I obey the order!" Li Yuan agreed and withdrew without waiting for Xiao Concubine's instructions.
It was Li Cheng who escorted him out of the palace. Looking around at the confidants, Li Yuan whispered: "Look for an opportunity and kill that cheap maid Zhu Ji'er!"
As for rewarding thousands of beauties in Xiyuan to the soldiers of the three armies, that is something that is beyond the imagination. The world said that Yang Guang was lustful, but in fact Li Yuan was equally lustful. If Yang Xuangan from Chang'an hadn't stabbed him like a thorn in the back, he would have
She had already gone to Xiyuan to play. As long as she got rid of the talkative Zhu Jier, Xiao Bi would lose her eyes and ears. What happened outside was not entirely up to him.
…
Liu Ziqiu and his party of sixteen rode galloping in the northwest wilderness. They had already left the Tuoba tribe for more than 20 miles. Finally, he couldn't hold on any longer. He swayed and fell off the horse.
Everyone was shocked and jumped off their horses. At this time, a big eagle was flying across the sky. The men on the grassland liked to shoot eagles, but now no one paid attention to the big eagle, and they all gathered around Liu Ziqiu. Lin Qiaoer's tears "
It fell down with a bang.
But Liu Ziqiu waved his hand and said, "It's okay, just take a rest. Please be careful."
The hero is also exhausted. Today, he first dragged the boulder up from the bottom of the pit, and then knocked the boulder into the ground. Liu Ziqiu's physical strength has been severely exhausted, and he will not be able to recover without half a month's rest.
Liu Ziqiu sat cross-legged. The four warriors galloped in four directions, and the others dispersed. Only Ji Rentai and Lin Qiaoer, mother and son, remained beside Liu Ziqiu.
Ji Rentai took off his bow and looked up to look for the big eagle, but there was no trace of it anywhere.
But Lin Qiaoer whispered to Jin Xiaohu: "Stay here and don't move around. Mom will go for a convenience."
