The Record of Swordsmen in the Late Sui and Early Tang Dynasties

Chapter 487 Chapter 470 Nine: Returning to the capital, the old king proposes marriage

In the morning of the next day, after breakfast, the army of the Tupan Kingdom disbanded, and the serf owners, big and small, led all the people they brought back to their territory.

The leader of the old country led the less than [-] personal soldiers Wang Shi brought with him and rushed towards the capital.

Duan Wuji and the others rode horses and followed the old king to the capital.

Along the way, every time they passed a small village, the serf owners in the village would bring everyone in the village to kneel on the side of the road to welcome them!

After more than three days of rapid march, the team finally rushed into a densely populated dam.

The old king said with a smile: "See, this place is the home of the lonely king. All of us were born on this plain!"

After hearing this, several people looked up and saw that this place is really big!

Surrounded by mountains, the terrain of this place is relatively flat, and the surrounding farmland and cottages all say that this is where the capital of Tupan Kingdom is located!

This place is big enough, no matter what, it must be hundreds of miles around!
A group of troops continued to move forward, and it took less than half a day to reach the so-called capital.

Duan Wuji and the others were very disappointed when they saw it. Not to mention the capital of the Tufan Kingdom compared with the capital of the Great Sui Kingdom, even if compared with the Taiyuan City, the smaller one is not 01:30!

In the entire capital city, the city wall is no more than three feet high, which is about seven or eight miles in size!

The eldest prince, Songtsan Gampo, said: "Guys, I am laughing at you, the capital of our Tufan country is not even comparable to your ordinary capitals in the interior!

I have stayed in your interior, and no one understands this truth better than me.

Alas, this is really incomparable between countries!

Your Great Sui Kingdom is a kingdom of the heavens, with a vast land and abundant people, not only rich in products, but also outstanding people, far beyond my comparison!

Let's go, everyone, let's go into the city with us! "

The eldest prince said to the generals who followed: "Let's bring our army back to the previous station!"

After hearing this, several officials immediately took away most of the army, only about [-] people followed the old king into the capital.

After entering the gate of the capital, I saw that the capital is also bustling. There are many shops on both sides of the street, and there are many pedestrians on the street. There is also a lively scene. The team came to the center of the capital and stopped in front of the imperial gate. down.

I saw that the imperial city covers an area of ​​hundreds of mu of land, and the imperial city wall is only about two feet high. There are soldiers guarding the city walking around on the wall from time to time. So one thing.

Under the leadership of the old king, most of the army entered the imperial city, and only a small part of the army stayed outside the imperial city.

After entering the palace, the eldest prince arranged Duan Wuji and the others to live in a palace called Baoxiu Palace, and sent more than a dozen servants to serve the five of them!
Not to mention, the conditions of this palace are much better, the food and accommodation conditions are far from those of Zabashi's residence.

Several people lived in this palace for six or seven days. The old kingdom entertained them with feasts every day, and never mentioned the matter of paying them gold.

During the luncheon that day, the old king looked at Duan Wuji and said with a smile: "Brother Han, is it comfortable to live in my palace?"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "This is the palace, can it be uncomfortable to live in?
Your Majesty, we have lived with you for several days. If there is nothing serious, please pay us the money we worked so hard for so that we can leave!

Just living here is not a problem!

If we delay our business again, wouldn't it be the end of it! "

"Hey! Brother Han, what you said seems to be a poor man. Judging by your clothes, horses and weapons, you must be a rich man!

Why do you want to say so pitifully. "

Duan Wuji laughed when he heard this.

"Your Majesty, look at what you said, as if we are so rich, who has the money to go to this foreign country to do business!

Your Majesty, you don't know how hard it is to go through the wind and rain!

How many of us brothers, is it easy to earn two dollars! "

The old king laughed out loud.

"Wuji! You really know how to joke, look at your business, it's big enough!
If they all do business like you do, they will not be rich enough to reach the country!

Promise!Don't be in a hurry, to be honest, the lonely king has been in contact with Naza Brazil for a long time!If all the caterpillar fungus is collected, it will take eight or nine days anyway, so don't worry about it!
The lonely king is entertaining you today, and I really have something important to discuss with you. "

Duan Wuji frowned slightly when he heard this.

"Your Majesty, if you have anything to say, just say it, our brothers are all here!"

The old king smiled slightly.

"Wuji! The lonely king has a little adopted daughter. It was taken by the lonely king when he went to your middle land. She was only nine years old at that time, and it has been eight or nine years since today. Now she is 17 years old, and she should be Find someone home.

In the past, I planned to betroth her to my eldest prince to marry, but she was not very willing, she only wanted to return to the Middle Earth, and there was nothing I could do about it!

I see that you guys are all heroes, I plan to recruit you as her husband-in-law, what do you think? "

Duan Wuji shook his head like a drum.

"Your Majesty, these things must not be done. I am dissatisfied with you. I got married a few years ago. When I came out, my wife was pregnant. Do you think I can do that?

Isn't that going back to scold you!I, Duan Wuji, absolutely cannot do such a thing!

Although we Han people also talk about having three wives and four concubines, that's something rich people do!

Small families like us, how dare we do such a thing! "

The old king was stunned when he heard it, he didn't expect to hit a soft nail on Duan Wuji.

"Wuji! I thought you were the youngest, so I asked you. I didn't expect you to be married long ago. These are your brothers. Could it be that they are all married?"

Duan Wuji shook his head.

"Your Majesty, among our five brothers, I am the only one who is married to my brother Tie Niu. Those three brothers of mine are still unmarried!"

When the old king heard this, he immediately regained his energy.

"That's right, that's great. Although the adopted daughter of the lonely king can't be called a golden branch and jade leaf, the lonely king doesn't want to marry her too lowly, so the lonely king's face will be dull!

Ask your three elder brothers to see who is willing to marry the righteous daughter of the lonely king who has not yet been engaged.

Marrying a foster daughter is the same as marrying a biological daughter. This dowry must be indispensable!

So many serf owners came to propose marriage, but the lonely king was not willing to marry her! "

Duan Wuji thought for a while, then turned his head and asked Duan Changqing, "Brother Changqing, have you made an appointment to kiss?"

Duan Changqing shook his head.

"Brother, look at us orphans and widows, where are we getting engaged!

My mother doesn't like the daughters of ordinary people from small families, and girls from big families, how can anyone marry into my family!

In the past few years, I have been so absorbed in practicing martial arts that I have long since forgotten about it.

I will try to get ahead and get married, otherwise, wouldn't it be a shame for our old Duan family! "

Okay!The conditions for this period of evergreen are quite high.

Duan Wuji looked at the old country and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, what do you think of my elder brother Changqing?
If you think it's okay, we'll settle this matter! "

The old kingdom grinned.

"Wuji! Your elder brother's marriage is equivalent to your sister-in-law's marriage! How can you be the master of such a big matter!
This is no child's play! "

Duan Wuji grinned when he heard this.

"I'm the young patriarch of this family, so I can't decide this matter!

If I can't be the master, I'd rather leave this matter alone! "

"Well! If you can do it, the Lord will do it!
My adoptive daughter has very high requirements, and she will only agree to marry if she herself likes it!

Promise!How about letting them take a look at each other?If there is a fate, this matter is so settled!
If they don't have fate, we don't even talk about this matter, do you think it's okay! "

Duan Wuji laughed out loud.

"Okay, okay! You're right, let's settle this!"

After hearing this, the old king said loudly: "Go and ask Princess Qingxia quickly, and just say that the lonely king has something to look for her."

The servants at the side of the palace heard this and ran out quickly. Not long after, Princess Qingxia arrived here surrounded by several maids.

Duan Wuji looked carefully, and saw that Princess Qingxia was a very delicate girl, about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a sword hanging from her waist, and her clothes were still Han Chinese.

When the girl saw the old king, she knelt down and saluted.

"Father, call your daughter here, I don't know what's the matter!"

The old king smiled and said, "Qingxia! Don't you want to marry back to your Han family!

Father, I will satisfy your request. Have you seen it? This Duan Changqing chivalrous man is still unmarried. They are from Taiyuan Prefecture, Shanxi Province. Look how handsome this young man is!

If you are willing, let's make a decision on this matter. When the next year is over, let your brother Wang send you there to get married.

It just so happens that your brother Wang also wants to visit the Central Plains!
You brothers and sisters happen to be companions. "

Princess Qingxia followed the old king's fingers and saw Duan Changqing.

I saw that this young man was indeed handsome, not too old, and exuded a heroic aura from his body, that was really cute!

At the same time, Duan Changqing was also looking at Princess Qingxia with his eyes, and saw that this girl is really handsome!

Curved eyebrows, big eyes, and two shallow dimples between the cheeks when talking.

I saw that this girl has a slender figure and a thin waist, which is very attractive!

The two looked at each other with satisfaction, and Princess Qingxia looked at the old king and said with a smile: "Father, you can decide on your daughter's marriage, so why ask me again!

How bad it is for outsiders to see! "

The old king laughed loudly when he heard it, and he knew that Princess Qingxia agreed, and quickly said with a smile: "Okay, okay! My father is the master, my child! You should go back to the harem!"

Princess Qingxia bowed to the old king again, and then left with a blushing face.

The old king glanced at Duan Wuji and said with a smile: "How is it? My adopted daughter is okay!"

Duan Wuji listened and nodded.

"Well! It's really good, Brother Changqing, if you don't have any big opinions, then brother, I'll make it up for you!

If you don't agree, it's too late to speak up now. "

Duan Changqing blushed upon hearing this.

"Brother, what conditions do you have for me, brother! Everything is up to you."

"Okay! Your Majesty, I will take this matter back to the Lord today! The marriage will be settled today."

"Okay! That's great! Now I feel relieved, come here! Continue to serve wine, and now I want to serve wine to treat relatives!"
