Chapter 82 Crisis
Before Qi Ming could respond, Chao Lai bowed his hands to Sheng Jiaojiao on the donkey's back with a smile on his face.

"This one must be the well-known Miss Sheng."

coming!Sheng Jiaojiao's face hidden under the tulle became cold, she spoke with a clear and shallow voice, like icy water gurgling on a snow mountain,
"Who is this?"

She knew that she couldn't hide it. Before she came to the set, she knew that she couldn't hide it.

The braver Qi Zhang and Tan Ji are in fighting, the more likely Sheng Jiaojiao will be caught out of the water.

"Come to the next nest."

Chao Lai was about to introduce himself, but Qi Ming at the side was very keenly aware of the coldness in Sheng Jiaojiao's tone.

He knew that A-Mei didn't want to socialize with this person, so he stood directly in front of Chao Lai, cupped his hands and said:
"Mr. Chao, we still have something important to do. When I return to the market, I will have a drink with you."

As he spoke, he took a look at Qi Zhi, Qi Zhi was usually in a daze, but now he suddenly woke up and pulled the donkey out of the checkpoint.

Qi Ming glanced at Chen Adi again,

"Miss Chen, let's go."

Chen Adi, who was wearing a light blue curtain fence, immediately got on her horse, and led Qi Ming and a group of people to gallop towards the medicine storehouse in Jumping Horse Lake.

In the dusty environment, Chao Lai was left alone to stand in place. He flicked the dust off his body, looked away from behind the two groups of Qi Ming and Sheng Jiaojiao, and then looked at the guard guarding the gate.

The sentries were motionless, standing unsmiling at the edge of the checkpoint, like a few logs.

But just now, Chao Lai clearly saw that when Sheng Jiaojiao's donkey was leaving the customs, those sentinels graciously removed the obstacles for her.

The frontier army in Zhishou County is like a sealed iron bucket, which cannot be inserted by needles or splashed by water. Yin Ze and Chao Lai tried their best, but they failed to install half of themselves in the barracks.

Even though the stewards at the fair were very courteous to Prince Yin Ze and other dignitaries, in fact the frontier army formed its own line, and the power of the leader of the frontier army was even greater than that of the county magistrate of Zhishou County.

The people of Zhishou County would rather listen to the military master than the officials sent by the imperial capital.

It is not easy for Yin Ze to control the military power.

But now, it seems that the nest has found a small gap, Sheng Jiaojiao, isn't this ready-made?
When Sheng Jiaojiao returned to Huangtu Village, the family's three uncles and Niu Yuan had already received the report, and drove their mules to meet Qi Ming and Chen Adi.

As soon as she entered the house, she didn't care about telling her family that she was safe, she just went to look at the fresh herbs picked in the backyard today, then turned around and summoned all the women of the Qi family into the main room.

"Grandma, someone will come to inquire about my marriage soon."

Sheng Jiaojiao's complexion was a little pale, but she still sat on the chair calmly, with her back straight.

In the room, whether it was the old lady Qi, the eldest daughter of the Qi family, or the three ladies of the Qi family, not only were they not happy, but they also looked surprised.

This is a bit of a surprise.

The old lady Qi looked at her darling who was getting more and more ambitious now, frowned and asked:

"Jiaojiaoer, did something happen? Why is it so sudden? Who is the man?"

"Yeah, Jiao Jiaoer, you stay at home all day and don't go out, where did you meet Erlang? Who is the other party? What do they do? Are the parents easy to get along with?"

Miss Qi was so anxious that she stood up, walked up to Sheng Jiaojiao, and asked with a jump:
"Say it quickly."

Sheng Jiaojiao, who was still sitting upright with a calm posture, raised her face slightly and looked at Miss Qi,
"Aniang, I don't plan to marry this family."

She stretched out her hand, and held Miss Qi's hand with her porcelain white hand. There was a hint of pleading in her voice, as if she was asking A Niang for help and correcting her own mistakes in the past and present.
"This is not a good family. There are mountains of swords and seas of fire, deep waters, intrigues, divorce between husband and wife, and there are always traps."

"What kind of family, this is not a good family."

The second lady Qi who had been silent all this time stood up suddenly, with a very angry expression on her face, and said:

"We don't marry this kind of family, even if the Qi family supports you for a lifetime, we are not allowed to marry."

"Yes, you are not allowed to marry."

Mrs. Qi agreed.

Sheng Jiaojiao breathed a sigh of relief. She closed her eyes, adjusted her emotions, and began to review the current situation in the imperial capital for the illiterate women in her family from the perspective of a superior.

The deposed prince was exiled to Zhishou County because of party disputes.

Such an important person can be pulled down, the opponent's wrist is probably already as good as the sky.

How could such a formidable figure, the political opponent of the abolished prince, allow the abolished prince to return to the imperial capital so easily?
At this time, the enemies of the abolished prince will do everything possible to cut off the re-fulfilled wings of the abolished prince.

This is crisis one.

The second crisis was that the deposed prince was exiled to Zhishou County. He was actually not reconciled.

Even if he was willing, his son, his staff, and those who followed him would push him back to the imperial capital.

Yin Ze's guard of honor is still there, and the old emperor still has family affection for the deposed prince.

Then how can the deposed prince return to the imperial capital step by step when the enemy keeps stopping him?

That is military power!
In the mysterious power vortex that pulls the clouds, only those who have the military power can have the right to speak.

The abolished prince does not have military power in his hands, but this does not prevent him from now on, step by step to master military power.

What's more, Yin Ze's ambition is not small. He is in the stage of keeping a low profile and secretly accumulating strength. At this time, Yin Ze will definitely try his best to get close to the military power of Zhishou County.

Even if Qi Zhang is still young, he is just a small battalion commander.

But if he has the ability, he can push him slowly from a battalion commander to a key position holding heavy troops.

In addition to Qi Zhang, there is also Tan Ji, Qin Wa, and Bai Tao.

Qin Wa Baitao is a veteran, and has all kinds of life-threatening friendships with the battalion commanders in other areas of Zhishou County.

The relationship between these four people is huddled together, and it is inexplicably difficult to have a deep friendship with them.

If you want the frontier army to work hard, you have to use your own life in exchange for the sincerity of the frontier army.

"There is also the simplest way, which can quickly win over the four barracks in Jumping Horse Lake, and then break into the frontier army."

Sheng Jiaojiao held Miss Qi's hand, with tears in her eyes, looking at A Niang.

Miss Qi's face was pale, she couldn't help crying, she raised her hand to caress her daughter's cheek, choked up and said:
"Marriage."

Marriage, these nobles can also figure it out!

How could she be willing to let the treasure she held in her hand become a victim of marriage?How dare you.

These things, if Sheng Jiaojiao didn't talk about them, the women of the Qi family, who have been facing the loess and their backs to the sky all the year round, would definitely not be able to figure it out.

Zhou Shi was stunned for a moment, and then he slapped his legs, mad with anger,

"When the nest came to our house, I thought he was a good man, wolf ambition, it's wolf ambition!"

During this time, Chao Sect went to sell so many of their trees!

Mad.

"That's not okay, A Niang, my pretty girl, who is more beautiful than the stars in the sky, how can she marry a man she doesn't like for the sake of these men's ambitions?"

Miss Qi turned around, knelt down in front of Mrs. Qi's lap, and cried:
"I can't agree, I don't agree, A Niang, my daughter should marry a man who loves her and treats her like an eyeball, A Niang!"

Girls in Zhishou County are all bold and unrestrained. When Miss Qi was young, she was also wild and gorgeous. She has always been loyally surrounded by love, otherwise she would not have taken the risk of being beaten to death by her family back then. The bottom man is fornicating.

She was even pregnant with Sheng Jiaojiao, and she must give birth to Sheng Jiaojiao later.

"I can't agree, I definitely won't agree."

The old lady Qi also understood, she looked at Sheng Jiaojiao who was sitting on the chair, and asked:

"Jiao Jiaoer, tell grandma, what do you want to do now? How should the Qi family protect you?"

She knew that Jiao Jiaoer would say these words to show that she had made up her mind.

Next, it depends on whether Sheng Jiaojiao's method can work.

Sheng Jiaojiao took a deep breath, quickly passed through several people in his mind, and said:

"Three ways, the first one, I cut off my hair to become a nun and become a monk."

"No."

Miss Qi vetoed it, she jumped up from the ground and cried:

"Son, you are still so young, at such a youthful age, how can you think so, your mother is still here, and your father hasn't come back to see you, you have to cut off the fate, no, absolutely not. "

"The second thing is to delay, as long as you can, until someone else comes to propose marriage."

In Sheng Jiaojiao's current mood, she would rather marry a cat or a dog than Yin Ze.

Marrying a cat or a dog would at least not kill her, but marrying Yin Ze would implicate the whole family and kill her.

The women of the Qi family were silent for a while, and the most outspoken Mrs. Qi San asked cautiously,
"Is there no one to propose marriage?"

No, no one has come to propose marriage
Miss Qi turned her head to one side, and gave the third sister-in-law a hard look. It's really difficult to open which pot and which pot to lift, third sister-in-law.

Sheng Jiaojiao continued expressionlessly:

"Then there is only the third way. Take the initiative to find a man and make a marriage contract with me. When the nobles give up the idea of ​​marriage, then break the marriage contract with the other party."

The candidate for this man must be of good character, respectful of etiquette, neither greedy nor arrogant, and finally when Sheng Jiaojiao is about to dissolve the engagement, he must be able to let go properly and not be entangled.

In fact, she thought of Qi Zhang first, but Niu Ju liked her big brother, and Qi Zhang had no intentions of her, so Sheng Jiaojiao couldn't hurt Niu Ju's heart.

The second one, Sheng Jiaojiao thought of Qi Ming again, but seeing Chen Adi's timid look today, Sheng Jiaojiao rejected Qi Ming again.

Of the three gentlemen of the Qi family, only Qi Rong is left. He is too young, and Sheng Jiaojiao can't do this.

"I prefer Tan Jia Dalang, Tan Ji."

Sheng Jiaojiao took a deep breath and finally pronounced Tan Ji's name.

She looked at the five women of the Qi family who were stunned, and Qi Rong who was standing at the door of the main room, holding Ao Quan on the flat ground, but fell down, and said:
"But he probably doesn't want to, so it's just an engagement. We have to discuss this matter with him first, and he doesn't intend to marry a wife, so he should do me a big favor and teach the frontier soldiers in Zhishou County not to get involved. Go to the power struggle in the imperial capital."

It is better to defend the border with peace of mind, and spend all your life and blood on killing the enemy and defending the country, than spending it inexplicably on internal fighting in Daze.

Sheng Jiaojiao knew too well how many hot-blooded people could die in a political struggle.

She was forced into the palace several times in her previous life, which time was it not that there were corpses all over the place?When was it not that the person who initiated the civil strife was alive and well, and the person who was sentenced to death was not a soldier who participated in forcing the palace to obey orders?
"Let your elder brother tell him that Tan Dalang is stubborn, I'm afraid he won't agree easily."

The old lady Qi is also confused now, she can't think of anything, and he just listens to whatever Sheng Jiaojiao says.

Mrs. Qi Er thought for a while and asked:

"In this way, will Jiaojiao'er's reputation be damaged? If it is in the future"

She thought more carefully, Sheng Jiaojiao is still so young, it is not impossible for her to meet a man who really loves her in the future.

If so, wouldn't it be a pity to miss out on a good relationship because she had a marriage contract with Tan Ji?

"If in the future, someone will withdraw because of my previous engagement, such a man will definitely not be my favorite."

What Sheng Jiaojiao said was categorical, and she had already made up her mind that she would go to Qi Zhang to talk about it as soon as the battle in the north of the county was over.

Miss Qi hesitated for a moment and asked:
"If Tan Dalang disagrees with life and death, even if your elder brother says it, he will not agree to a fake engagement with you?"

"Then you can only find someone else."

Sheng Jiaojiao frowned slightly and thought about it. She thought of several other candidates, including Tan Xiaojian and Zheng Ling, who were younger than her.
But I still prefer Tan Ji the most.

Maybe it's because he didn't plan to marry a wife, and he was always alone in his previous life.

So Sheng Jiaojiao was not afraid that after the incident, Tan Ji would regret and refuse to dissolve the engagement.

The person was selected, and in the main room, several women from the Qi family got together again to discuss some details.

There is no problem with the details, it's just the girl who suffers from such things, as long as the Qi family doesn't make trouble and Sheng Jiaojiao doesn't feel wronged, it won't have any impact on Tan Ji and the Tan family.

Even afterwards, the Qi family was willing to compensate the Tan family for a sum of money to thank Tan Ji for his help.

Although Sheng Jiaojiao didn't think Tan Ji would ask for the money.

After discussing it properly, all we have to do is wait for the fighting situation in the north of the county to ease up a little.

And Sheng Jiaojiao was in the Qi family, and he and the Qi family were in charge of the overall situation. In the nobleman's mansion in Jishang, Chao Lai stood behind Yin Ze, and whispered about Sheng Jiaojiao of the Qi family.

The man standing by the window was majestic and imposing, wearing a plain moon-white cloth, which was made of high-quality Nanjun cloth, and the stitching was indescribably low-key and exquisite, which lined the nobleness of this man.

It is really noble and elegant, gentle and moist like flawless jade, and bright like a person who is like the moon in the sky.

Yin Ze closed his eyes slightly, muttering in his mouth,

"Sheng Jiao Jiao Jiao Jiao"

There is an inexplicable sense of familiarity, Jiaojiao.
Yin Ze raised his head sharply, looking at the gray sky outside the window, who was calling the name "Jiao Jiao"?
