witch chaotic country

Chapter 722
Wang and Xie returned to Qiuchi, and Qin Zhongzhi went to meet them in person.Although it was Qin Zhongzhi who opposed the two as envoys the most at the beginning, but this time the two returned smoothly, they really deserve a thank you from Qiu Chiguo.

Although Qin Zhongzhi's eyes are small, his heart is not small.Bowing to thank you as the prime minister, on the contrary, Wang and Xie, who had other plans in their hearts, felt a little ashamed.

When they learned that Tan Yaoyu was not in the middle school at this time, their shoulders relaxed a little.

This subtle change did not escape Qin Zhongzhi's eyes, but instead of asking, he changed the subject and said, "I heard that Wang Wulang married Cui's daughter-in-law in the Northern Wei Dynasty. Let's hold another wedding ceremony for the two of you, so as not to neglect Mrs. Cui and think that I, Qiu Chi, are a small country that doesn't know etiquette."

Qin Zhongzhi said this to Wang Wulang and Cui's daughter at the same time.

One is to sell Wang Wulang as a favor. Now that Wang Wulang can't return to Jiankang, it is definitely hopeless to hold a wedding banquet in Wang's house.But if the wedding is only held at the woman's house, how is it different from Wang Wulang's marriage?

The second is to mention Cui's family, Qiu Chi is not what it used to be, if she acts recklessly on the basis of her status as the daughter of the clan, then Qiu Chi's laws are not vegetarian.

Cui's daughter obviously understood the deep meaning, and thanked Qin Zhongzhi, "Thank you, Mr. Qin, for your trouble."

Qin Zhongzhi laughed so hard that he couldn't see his brows, "The three gentlemen should take a rest, and when the girl returns from Tuyuhun, we will hold a wedding ceremony for the two newcomers."

How can the two of Wang and Xie care about the wedding ceremony?They were all thinking about the people hidden in Cui's motorcade, they didn't dare to greet Qin Huli more, bid farewell to Qin Zhongzhi in a hurry, and went to the residence of the two.

The original courtyard of Wang and Xie was not too big or small, and it was quite roomy for two people, but Cui brought a lot of maids and servants as dowry, and the small courtyard was crowded in an instant.

When Qiu Chi received the news that King Cui was getting married, Qin Zhongzhi sent people to speed up the expansion.But after all, the time is too short, and only the small courtyard for Cui's temporary residence will be completed at this time.

If this was in the past, Wang Wulang would definitely go to find someone and say, he is the prince of the Wang family's direct branch after all, how could he be so negligent?No matter what, he should change to a bigger yard.

At this time, I can't care about these.Hastily arranged the residence of the Cui family's servants, Wang Wulang hurriedly asked Cui to rest first on the pretext that he still had business to do.

Cui was obviously a little dissatisfied with Wang Wulang's perfunctory, and muttered deliberately: "I knew that I would have to build a house after I got married, so I shouldn't have brought so many women and maidservants, and I should have brought a group of carpenters and bricklayers to Qiuchi."

Wang Wulang wasn't thinking about Cui Shi's words at all, and he replied casually, "I won't live for long anyway." As soon as the words came out, he realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, and turned around to appease his newlywed wife, "It is true that I have wronged you, don't worry , I will definitely compensate you in the future.”

Cui Shi was not brought up in a small family, seeing that her husband was willing to understand her, she immediately felt a little bit relieved.He told Wang Wulang to rest early, and he left with his servant.

As soon as Mrs. Cui left, Wang Wulang hurried to Xie Huilian's yard.Xie Huilian was born in a cold environment and was not used to being served by others. There were not many people in the courtyard.Concubine Xie Gui and Yuan Langjun are hiding here.

Seeing that Xie Huilian was still frowning, Wang Wulang knew that he was still hesitating, so he couldn't help urging: "Everyone has been brought in, don't back down right now!"

Xie Huilian also knew that he was riding a tiger, but on the one hand, he felt sorry for Yao Yu, and on the other hand, he felt that something was wrong.

"What a thoughtful person Qin Xiang is, why did he arrive at the city gate to greet him, but didn't send me back to wait and explain clearly about the expansion?"

Wang Wulang also noticed something strange, but at this time he was completely fascinated by meritorious deeds.He wanted to show his talent again in front of the Wang clan, and let the clan elders see that he, Wang Wulang, is no worse than Wang Qilang!
The desire to be recognized by his father and the Wang family even surpassed his ambition to pay respect to the king!Let him know that things cannot be done, but still insist: "Qin Xiang is taking care of everything every day, how can he be thoughtful in everything. Now that Tan Yaoyu is not in the country, it is a good time for us to accomplish things! If you don't want to go with you, you can stay here to protect the princess , I will take Yuan Langjun and the imperial concubine to find the Seventh Prince myself!"

The seventh prince has been living on the mountain, studying the methods of farming in the mountains and forests with Lu Shu and others. The princess is young and obviously cannot go with her, so Xie Huilian stays at home to cover Wang Wulang.

After nightfall in Qiuchi, there is a curfew, and there will be guards patrolling the city.Wang Wulang used to advise on the defense of the city, so he knew the patrol routes very well.

They trembled all the way to the mountain in the west of the city. After touching the residence of the Seventh Prince, they found that there was still candlelight in the house. Wang Wulang was overjoyed and secretly went up to knock on the door.

"Seventh prince, Wang Wulang has something to see."

Probably because he didn't expect Wang Wulang to come, the Seventh Prince showed a hint of surprise when he opened the door, and when he saw Concubine Xie behind Wang Wulang, his expression of panic was beyond words.

"Brother Huang...could it be...?" Liu Yiji was at a loss for words for a moment and dared not speak any more.

Wang Wulang bowed, "It's an emergency, can the Seventh Prince let me wait until we enter the room?"

Liu Yiji hurriedly turned sideways to let a few people in, and when he saw Yuan Langjun, he was in a daze, "Who is this?"

Yuan Langjun hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "Caomin is the concubine of the Yuan family, and the former queen is Caomin's elder sister."

Liu Yiji nodded in confusion, not understanding why Yuan Langjun appeared here.

At this moment, Yuan Langjun unbuttoned the front of his chest, and offered the secret edict hidden all the way with both hands.

"The emperor is trapped in the palace at this time, and the courtiers are all looking forward to the king of Pengcheng. When Cao Min sent the funeral for the late empress, he was ordered by the emperor to enter the bedroom. He entrusted this edict to Cao Min, so that Cao Min must hand it over to the Seventh Prince!"

Concubine Xie Guifei couldn't help crying at this moment and said: "Seventh brother, your imperial brother has pinned all his hopes on you. The palace is in danger, and the emperor loves you the most on weekdays. You must save your imperial brother." !"

Liu Yiji received the imperial edict, which was still warm, and quickly unsealed the sealing wax to see it!During this period of time, he thought of various ways to return to Beijing to save people, but he didn't think about it.Now as long as there is any way to save Brother Huang, he is willing to risk his life to try it!
But when he finished reading the imperial edict, he fell down on the couch as if he had lost his soul, "Impossible... This is impossible... How could it be like this...?"

Wang Wulang didn't expect the Seventh Prince to have such a reaction after reading the secret edict, so he hurriedly asked, "What is the emperor's will?"

Liu Yiji pointed at the edict on the ground with trembling fingers, "Look for yourselves..."

Wang Wulang hurriedly picked up the secret edict, read it ten lines at a glance, and he was stunned like Liu Yiji, "How could this be... no wonder, the emperor only sent the princess out of the city..."

Concubine Xie obviously did not expect that her daughter, who was not valued, would become the only blood of the emperor.

When she saw the line in the imperial edict, "Let the Seventh Prince Liu Yiji go south immediately. Order Tan Daoji to assemble the Lake Army, defend the army along the road and garrison in Stone City, and escort the Seventh Prince back to Beijing to ascend the throne as emperor", tears could no longer stop. "The emperor is planning to sacrifice himself to choose a new emperor for the Southern Song Dynasty..."
