Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 282 What about Baicheng?
"I don't know why Duke Dou is here this time?" Chen Ying tried to ask.

The full text of the Three Character Classic has 380 two sentences, each with three characters, a total of 140 and six characters.If you delete some things after the Tang Dynasty and add some words, you can keep a thousand words at most or, it is likely to be less than a thousand words.If in later generations, this is only equivalent to a piece of A4 paper, it will not cost much to print such a book.

However, in this era, the printing process mainly relies on woodblock printing. If it is a thousand characters, at least nearly forty woodblocks are needed, and it takes at least half a year.Considering the value of engraving and labor costs, it would cost at least 600 million yuan to print the thousand volumes.

Although five or six million yuan is not too much, especially for a family like the Fufeng Dou family, this amount of money is not even a drop in the bucket.However, for ordinary people, this amount is equivalent to the annual net income of one hundred ordinary farmers. Obviously, this cannot be explained by the accidental relationship between Chen Ying and Dou.

Courtesy to people, there must be something to ask for.

Chen Ying really didn't dare to accept Dou Cong's kindness lightly. Although five or six million yuan is not a small sum, for Chen Ying, this amount of money is actually not a price that can influence Chen Ying's will.

Dou Cong slapped his forehead suddenly, and suddenly realized: "I almost missed the business, the old man is here to obey the order!"

"Come here, prepare the incense table..."

Before Chen Ying could finish speaking, Dou Cong waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty ordered me to speak, there is no need to be so formal."

Chen Ying immediately became serious.

Dou Cong said: "According to the orders of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the Governor of Lingzhou, General Youwuwei, General Hushi, and Marquis of Wugong County Chen should enter the palace to have an audience. Here we are!"

Chen Ying secretly guessed whether returning to Chang'an this time was a blessing or a curse?
Dou Cong looked at Chen Ying with a look of hesitation, and said with a smile: "General Chen is worried about his injuries and can't bear the bumps on the road?"

Chen Ying nodded and said, "That's true!"

"General Chen, don't worry!" Dou Cong said, "Your Majesty said, there is no rush. It is okay to start again after General Chen is healthy."

"I'm afraid this is not good!"

Chen Ying thought about it and said: "Your life is like a mountain, even if Chen Ying climbs, he will climb to Chang'an City!"

Dou Cong thought to himself, could it be that Chen Ying had guessed that Li Yuan was going to marry Chen Ying?Could it be that General Chen couldn't wait? "As the saying goes, a gentle lady is a gentleman, and the Lord of Baicheng County is also generous..."

Baicheng?Li Daozhen?

Chen Ying asked in surprise, "Me and Baicheng?"

"Didn't General Chen already know about it?" Dou Cong said with a smile, "Your Majesty intends to accept General Chen as your son-in-law, as the Lord of Baicheng County."

Hearing this, Chen Ying almost choked on his own saliva.

In Chen Ying's head, the scene of Li Daozhen slashing and killing him frantically with a Mo knife appeared in Chen Ying's mind. At that time, Chen Ying was almost cut off by Li Daozhen.

How much Li Yuan hated himself for marrying Li Daozhen.Once I inadvertently angered Li Daozhen, wouldn't she be chased by her with a Modao to heaven and earth?
Chen Ying fell down on the bed in a daze, not even knowing when Dou Cong left.

When it was time to light the lamps last night, the guards delivered the meals to Chen Ying's floor.

Chen Ying had already wandered out of his body, and had no intention of eating at all.

While deep in the room, Chen Ying was still standing in front of the lamp like a statue, staring at the flickering candle flame, dazed in a daze.

Liang Zan looked at Chen Ying's half-dead look, saw the eyes, and was anxious in his heart.He carried the meal himself, walked up to Chen Ying and said, "Your Majesty, let's eat something!"

"roll!"

"Lang Jun, you can eat as much as you want."

"roll!"

Chen Ying was on the verge of eruption, he picked up the pen container on the desk, and threw it at Liang Zan's head.

"Boom..." The hollowed-out and carved bamboo pen holder hit the door frame.

Liang Zan was stupid and careless, he didn't know what happened to Chen Ying.

However, Liang Zan was not stupid.

Seeing that he could not persuade Chen Ying, he went to find Princess Li Xiuning of Pingyang himself.

However, at this time Li Xiuning had already gone to Taiyuan City, which was more than 150 miles away.When Li Xiuning got the news and returned to Weize Pass, Chen Ying had been working there for two days and one night, and he didn't even touch any water.

When Li Xiuning walked into Chen Ying's room with the food, Chen Ying's eyeballs, which were still moving, turned slightly, but remained unmoved.

Li Xiuning took the food and put it in front of Chen Ying.

"eat!"

Chen Ying was unmoved.

Li Xiuning didn't say anything else, and went out with the food directly.After a while, there was the sound of dishes breaking outside the door.Immediately afterwards, Li Xiuning came in with another meal, and she also cherished the words like gold: "Eat!"

Chen Ying remained unmoved.

Li Xiuning was stunned for half a stick of incense, then walked towards the door.

"Whoa..."

Li Xiuning came in again and responded like this five times.When the sixth crash sounded, Chen Ying finally couldn't help it: "Grandma, don't fall, it's a waste of food."

Chen Ying held the rice bowl and picked up the chopsticks, "Is it okay for me to eat?"

"What happened to make you look like you are dying?" Li Xiuning asked strangely: "This is not like you!"

Chen Ying sighed slightly, looked into Li Xiuning's eyes and said, "Your Majesty wants to give me a marriage!"

The smile on Li Xiuning's face froze in an instant.

"Then, I really want to congratulate you!"

Chen Yingdao: "Do you know that your smile is fake right now?"

Li Xiuning stroked the bangs on his forehead with his hands, and a trace of pain flashed between his brows and eyes: "I...I'll go back first!"

Chen Yingdao: "You know me!"

"Know what about you?"

"I like you!"

"You're crazy, we can't do it!" Li Xiuning turned her back to Chen Ying, and mist slowly formed in her eyes: "I...we...we can't do it!"

Chen Yingdao: "Nothing is impossible, at worst, we can separate!"

"But... I'm not Sima Daofu!"

Sima Daofu was the first woman in Chinese history who dared to pursue her own marital happiness.She is the third daughter of Sima Yu, Emperor Jianwen of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and she is named Princess Xin'an.She first married Huan Ji, the son of the Duke of Nanchang in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Da Sima, and Taiwei Huan Wen.Later, Huan Ji failed to usurp military power and was demoted. Princess Xin'an divorced Huan Ji and begged the emperor to remarry herself to Wang Xianzhi.However, Wang Xianzhi was already married to Xi Daomao at that time, and the relationship between husband and wife was very good.

At that time, Emperor Xiaowu of Jin Dynasty was Sima Daofu's younger brother. She begged him repeatedly, and Emperor Xiaowu Jin ordered Wang Xianzhi to marry Xi Daomao and then marry Sima Daofu.In order to resist this marriage, Wang Xianzhi even staged a scene of self-mutilation. Wang Xianzhi burned his leg with wormwood and became lame.But Sima Daofu still married Wang Xianzhi as his wife.

Li Xiuning said that she is not Sima Daofu, the key is that this era is different from that of Sima Daofu.After the death of Wang Xizhi, the Wang family of Langya has no more talented people.The Langya Wang family has already set in the west, and the Xi family has also become a thing of the past. The two families of the two have no capital to resist the emperor.

So I can only accept my fate, but in the current Datang, although the situation in Hedong has been stabilized.However, Chai Shao and the Chai family behind Chai Shao are Li Yuan's founding heroes after all.No matter what the reason is now, Li Yuan can't agree to Li Xiuning and Chai Shao's separation, otherwise Li Yuan's actions of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge would be too obvious.

In fact, Chai Shao is 13 years older than Li Xiuning. The marriage between Chai Shao and Li Xiuning is a political marriage in itself. The two parties formed a political alliance, and Li Xiuning is a political victim.

Li Xiuning said without looking back, "I'm going back first!"

"stop!"

Li Xiuning ignored Chen Ying and continued walking towards the door.

Chen Ying was in a hurry, and hurriedly chased outside the door.Chen Ying's movements were a little too big, which affected the wound.

"what……"

Chen Ying was in so much pain that his forehead was sweating, and he fell to the ground.

Li Xiuning watched Chen Ying fall, but he couldn't bear it after all.

Li Xiuning came back and helped Chen Ying up: "What about Baicheng? Have you thought about it?"

PS: Sorry for the late update today.Due to the shortage of tickets for the Chinese New Year, Lao Cheng did not buy a ticket. Yesterday, he drove home with a few friends, and it took [-] hours, which was very hard.I will code another chapter later, so take it easy!
