Bad Man Li Tang Fengyun

Chapter 232 It’s actually a marriage

On the official road in the east of the city, a carriage came alone. The tall black horse trampled its hooves rapidly, roared one after another from its nose, breathed out hot breath from its mouth, and stopped at the gate of the city to let out a long neighing sound.

In the dense forest not far outside the city were soldiers taking a short rest. To the surprise of Li Xingyun and others, the army sent by the Southern Han Dynasty to escort the peace talks turned out to be the Tianxiang Army!

At this moment, there were no people on the streets in Qinzhou City. There was only the "squeaking" sound of the wheels turning as the carriage drove across the road.

On the eaves on both sides were Li Xingyun and others who were ambushing them. At this time, everyone had solemn looks in their eyes. The Celestial Elephant Army was the most elite force in the Southern Han Dynasty.

You must know that the Astronomical Army is not just a random number!
There are many ethnic minorities in the Southern Han Dynasty, and it is located in the south close to foreign vassals. Among them, Tianzhu is rich in elephants, and there are traditional methods of capturing and training war elephants to fight.

When Liu Yin's father saw those elephants, he was so fascinated that he fell in love with this good idea at a glance.

Spending a lot of money to get a group of elephants from the then Annan Protectorate (Vietnam), now the vassal state of Funan, and began to train the celestial elephant army.

The Tianxiang Army was the most advanced army in the Southern Han Dynasty. When Liu Yin discovered that the situation in the battle with Nanzhao was not right, he began to fully gather the Tianxiang Army to prevent large-scale damage.

The existence of the Astronomical Army is also a bargaining chip for Liu Yin to negotiate with Chi Li. Since he wants to sell himself for a good price, he naturally needs to show his value.

The war elephant is covered with thick armor, its head is entirely protected by an iron cover, and even its long trunk is protected by chain mail.

The back of the war elephant is a tower made of thick wooden boards and wrapped in iron armor, which can accommodate six archers or crossbowmen at the same time.

With the war elephant as the core, there are infantrymen on each side holding swords, spears, shields, and carrying bows and arrows or crossbows.

In the Southern Han Dynasty's Celestial Elephant Army, every war elephant is a moving fortress, terrifying the enemy wherever it goes on the battlefield!
"How to fight? Four war elephants, a guard team of nearly a thousand people. How do we get in?" Li Xingyun said in a serious tone. It seems that it is not that easy to pretend to be a peace negotiation team.

"The war elephant is nothing to be afraid of. I don't need to talk about my beast-controlling Gu. What you need to consider now is how to convince the two people in the carriage."

The words of the Seventh Cave Master were like a shot in the arm, providing Li Xingyun and the others with the greatest guarantee. If the most difficult war elephant was no problem, then the rest would also be no problem.

……

A slender white palm gently opened the curtain of the carriage. Liu Xinyuan raised her eyes and looked at the white paper ingots that could be seen everywhere outside, as well as the white cloth hanging high on the eaves.

This scene of people being devastated and living in dire straits made Liu Xinyuan sigh slightly in her heart. She retracted her palms and closed the curtains on the carriage.

Liu Xinyuan's voice was soft and melodious, like a sweet spring, refreshing, "Second uncle, do you think we can end this battle by going to Nanzhao this time."

If you look carefully, you can see that this carriage actually has a partition that divides the interior space into two, completely separating it.

Sitting in the front half of the car was a man wearing a blue robe. The collar and cuffs were embroidered with silver threads and had flowing cloud patterns. He wore a wide-brimmed brocade belt of auspicious clouds around his waist, and his black hair was crowned by a white jade crown. A middle-aged man who is neatly tied up and has a dignified expression.

These two people were Liu Tai, the second brother of King Liu Yin of the Southern Han Dynasty, who went to Nanzhao for peace talks, and Liu Xinyuan, the eldest daughter of Liu Yin, Princess Zengcheng.

Taichang Liu sighed and said sadly, "I don't know. Today's Nanhan is like an old house with leaks from all sides.

However, Chi Li was invincible and invincible on the battlefields of Southern Han and Nanzhao, and he became famous for a while.

Chi Li can use living people to make poison instruments, which shows that he is cold-hearted, cruel and cruel, and the peace talks are nothing more than drinking poison to quench his thirst. "

After Liu Xinyuan heard Liu Tai's words, she bit her lip, a look of confusion flashed in her eyes, and she murmured, "Can't we look for help other than Wu Yue and Min?"

Liu Tai shook his head slightly, his eyes were so lonely, and he felt as if his heart was being bitten by countless insects.

"Xin Yuan, we have no value in their eyes, and we can't afford the price. Do we really have to pay with lychees?
It's just a pain for you. I never thought that I would have to use my daughter and relatives to exchange for the so-called peace. "

"If we can find peace for our people in the Southern Han Dynasty, it doesn't matter if we just sacrifice Xinyuan." Liu Xinyuan was very open-minded. She was born in the Tian family, and as a princess, she could never decide her own destiny.

It can be said that the only common idol for women in this era, apart from the powerful Wu Emperor Wu Meiniang, is the current empress.

You can marry the man you love and still be so carefree, whether they are traveling around the world together or fighting against foreign invasion at Jishi Pass.

The empress has proven to them what it means for a woman to be loyal and brave, never inferior to her husband.

The empress has lived up to the image in the hearts of these secular women. It can be said that she is the person they long for.

Liu Xinyuan is no exception. She also hopes to meet someone she loves and loves her so that she can live a happy life.

"Prince, princess, the city lord's palace has arrived." The voice of the chariot driver interrupted Liu Xinyuan's thoughts.

Liu Tai and Liu Xinyuan got off the carriage and saw the Miao Gu Masters. Liu Tai looked at the people in front of him with an unhappy expression.
"Is this the way you treat guests, or are you Miao people just mountain villagers who don't know etiquette?"

Liu Tai fully demonstrated what it means to lose without losing, which is the traditional tough talk!For those who didn’t know, at first glance, they thought it was the Celestial Kingdom visiting a small foreign country.

Several Gu Masters welcomed the two people in. Looking at the empty lobby, Liu Tai was a little puzzled, but before he could ask any questions, the two doors slammed shut, trapping Liu Tai and Liu Xinyuan inside the house.

Liu Tai glanced around cautiously and said calmly, "I don't know where my friend is from. Since I specially arranged it here, I might as well show up to see him."

Li Xingyun's figure walked out from behind the curtain. Liu Tai's eyes narrowed, and after carefully identifying it, he said nonchalantly,

"Is it you? I didn't expect you to appear here after the Battle of Liang. I wonder if our uncle and nephew are trapped here today. Does your Highness have any advice?"

Liu Tai deliberately pronounced the word "Your Highness" a little harshly, and the strong sarcastic meaning is self-evident.

Liu Xinyuan on the side looked at Li Xingyun in front of her with some curiosity. She had also heard her father Liu Yin talk about the former prince, but most of them were not good things.

"Master Liu, I haven't seen you for a long time." Li Xingyun didn't pay attention to Liu Tai's sarcastic words and bowed slightly to him.

"I also want to discuss a deal with Mr. Liu, a deal related to the future of Nanhan."

Liu Xinyuan raised her hand lightly and stopped Liu Tai's movements.She is Liu Yin's most beloved daughter. Although she is going to get married, her status is still higher than that of Liu Tai.

"I've heard about you, Li Xingyun, what do you want to talk to us about?" Liu Xinyuan looked at Li Xingyun with clear eyes, and her soft and gentle tone was refreshing.

Li Xingyun was also stunned for a moment. He did not expect that a woman would make the decision for the peace talks this time.

"You haven't asked her her name yet?" Li Xingyun looked at Liu Xinyuan and bowed politely.

"Princess Zengcheng, Liu Xinyuan."

Li Xingyun remembered who this was, the most beloved eldest daughter of King Liu Yin of the Southern Khan. Li Xingyun asked with some suspicion, "Is this why the princess is here?"

Liu Xinyuan was very generous and there was no need to lie about this matter. "I am here to get married to Nanzhao King Zheng Renmin. At the same time, we will discuss matters related to cooperation between the two countries."

"Princess, you know one thing. Although it is Nanzhao King Zheng Maisi who is the master of Nanzhao, in reality it is Chi Li, the great master of the country, who controls the national affairs."

Hearing Li Xingyun's words, Liu Xinyuan said lightly, "I know that if you want to persuade me to switch sides and take you to Nanzhao, you must show your sincerity first.

Everything in this world is about profit, and I want to see your value and the gains that can be gained from cooperating with you. "

Hearing Liu Xinyuan's words, Li Xingyun suddenly coughed twice. He didn't expect that a princess from a small country would be so hard to deceive.

"Chi Li was a man of unbridled violence, and the epidemic that occurred in the Southern Han Dynasty is enough to illustrate the problem.

Even if we can cooperate with you, you Nan Han are just the abandoned sons of Chi Li who charged into battle.Does the princess really want to follow Chi Li all the way to the dark side? "Li Xingyun began to use his talkative characteristics. In two words, he can talk!
Liu Xinyuan shook her head, her expression looking very disappointed, "Li Xingyun, it seems that you do not have this qualification."

Liu Xinyuan looked at the girl in blue behind Li Xingyun. The battle of Liang Liang also introduced the world to Ji Ruxue, the adopted daughter of King Qin and the Empress.

In Liu Xinyuan's opinion, Li Xingyun's current weight is really not as important as Ji Ruxue's, nor is her identity as useful.

"Miss Ji, where are you?" Liu Xinyuan's soft voice sounded, with a little expectation in her tone.

Ji Ruxue was a little frightened by Liu Xinyuan's expectant eyes. After coughing lightly, she said in a Gujing Wubo tone,
"I can only tell you that going with Chi Li is a dead end. He has not even conquered the Miao territory. The purpose of my trip this time is to kill him.

There are also seniors from the Miao border who are going together. Chi Li will not leave Nanzhao alive, so it is too late for Nanhan to turn back now.

Neither King Qi, the Empress nor King Qin want Nanzhao to be headed by Chi Li. That’s it. Let the princess think about it herself. "

Liu Xinyuan felt a little regretful, this was not the answer she wanted to hear.But looking at the aggressive looks of several people, she sighed softly, "Actually, it doesn't matter what I choose, does it?

I agree to let you join my escort, but you must leave before entering the Nanzhao capital.Likewise, if you can really bring down Chi Li, I want you. "

After Liu Xinyuan said the last sentence, she raised her finger and pointed at Ji Ruxue, looking at her with burning eyes.

When Ji Ruxue heard the last sentence, she immediately shivered, and instantly classified Liu Xinyuan and Guan Yunque into the same category.

Seeing Ji Ruxue's wary eyes, Liu Xinyuan spoke again, explaining the charm in her semantics, "I want you to introduce me to the Empress or the King of Qin.

I have the Celestial Elephant Army in Southern Han Dynasty, which can be of great help to anyone.Since this opportunity was once in a lifetime, I needed to seize it.

Of course, if you die in Nanzhao, this matter will be treated as if it never happened.Of course, I can also use your corpses to exchange for the favor of Qin and Qi. No matter what, I will not lose. "

An imperceptible exclamation flashed through Ji Ruxue's eyes. It was not a good thing for them that Liu Xinyuan could be so rational.

She could betray Chi Li for profit, and of course she would betray them for profit.At that time, we need to see which one has a higher price and is more suitable.

Ji Ruxue said calmly, "In this case, we will be responsible for the princess's personal guards."

"As it should be."

……

The disguised people rushed to the road, and the five women, Ji Ruxue, Lu Linxuan, Chi Meng, Qian Wu and Xian Shen, directly became the guards around Princess Zengcheng's carriage.

With fresh ginseng in charge, Liu Xinyuan was not afraid of any tricks. As for the remaining five men, they climbed onto the arrow tower on a war elephant.

As for the four war elephants, they have been tightly controlled by Qidong Master using the beast control Gu, and there are no crossbowmen on the arrow towers of the other three war elephants.

At this time, Ji Ruxue was mocking Qianwu unscrupulously, just like Chi Meng when she first entered the Central Plains.

Qianwu didn't know how to ride a horse. She could have gotten into the car and acted as Liu Xinyuan's maid to avoid this fate.

But seeing the playful expression in Ji Ruxue's eyes, Qianwu, who wanted to be strong, made a quick decision to tame a horse to prove his strength.

Qianwu followed suit and gently clamped the horse's belly with his slender and well-proportioned legs.But the black war horse stood motionless on the spot, even lowering its head to take a bite of grass and snorting.

Although Ji Ruxue had no expression on her face and said nothing.But Qianwu could already feel the joking that was about to overflow from her eyes.

Qianwu turned her pursuing eyes to Chi Meng and Lu Linxuan. The relationship between the two of them was quite close to her. Anyway, they would be sisters living under the covers from now on, so there was no reason for the relationship to be so tense now.

Without waiting for anyone to say anything, Ji Ruxue tapped her feet lightly on the ground, jumped up, and landed behind the saddle.His hands passed under Qianwu's armpits and grabbed the reins. Qianwu felt something bad in his heart!

Before she could refuse, she heard Ji Ruxue's gloating laughter, "I'll take the young cave master for a couple of walks first, so as not to upset her later. You follow Princess Zengcheng first, we'll arrive later." "

"I don't..." Before Qianwu could say anything, Ji Ruxue had already completed the movement of gently squeezing the horse's belly with her legs, and pulled the reins back with both hands.
"drive!"

As Ji Ruxue's cold voice sounded, the horse raised its front hooves high and neighed, then dropped its front hooves heavily, and rushed out like a sharp arrow from a string.

After a bump, Qianwu's seven souls were knocked to the ground. Her slender hands firmly grasped the raised handle on the saddle, and let Ji Ruxue lead her to start running wildly.

Lu Linxuan and Chi Meng were left standing on the ground looking at each other. Chi Meng looked at Qian Wu who was being tortured to death and clicked his tongue and said, "I remember, it seems that it wasn't like this when I first rode a horse."

Lu Linxuan glanced at Chi Meng and said lightly, "Then sister Chi Meng plans to tell sister Qianwu the truth."

After Chi Meng quickly compared Qianwu and Ji Ruxue in his little mind, he shook his head decisively, as if he were playing a harp drum.

Don't be kidding, Ji Ruxue is a little scarier, so Sister Qianwu can't help it.

Chi Meng silently scented Qianwu in her heart, and the others dispersed and started "guarding" around Princess Zengcheng's carriage.

Qianwu was gradually able to straighten up on the horse, opened her arms and let out a soft cry, "Wow~~"

Ji Ruxue, who was behind Qianwu, also chuckled, "How about you, young cave master, the world outside is much better than your three-acre Luohua Cave."

Qianwu didn't answer the question. She knew that if she did, countless people would inevitably be teased. This was the lesson she had learned these days.

Never, never quarrel with Ji Ruxue, this girl is very venomous!

After teaching Qianwu step by step for a while, Qianwu was finally sent to the carriage to play the role of maid and maid for Liu Xinyuan.

Without him, at first glance, there is no guard who can't ride a horse. Looking at Qianwu's uncoordinated limbs, she should just be a maid.

……

Nanzhao, Shengning County
The group of people arrived here quickly. Faced with the interrogation by the Nanzhao troops at the border, Liu Xinyuan just showed her identity token and was quickly let go.

After temporarily settling in Zhongjiabu, Li Xingyun and his party gathered together, Hou Qing spread out a map of Nanzhao, pointed at the map with a bone flute and introduced,
"We are now in Shengning County, and we need to pass through Shicheng County, Shanchan Mansion and Chengchu Mansion before we arrive at the central capital of Nanzhao."

"I estimate that the next trip will probably take nearly two months. The question now is how we deal with Liu Xinyuan."

Ji Ruxue put her hands on the table and looked at the people around her. The room fell into an eerie silence. The safest way was to kill her. Since she had entered Nanzhao, the role of the Zengcheng princess was no longer necessary.

In addition, the other party is still a gambler who attaches great importance to profits and rewards. Killing is the best way, but Li Xingyun will definitely not agree, and Welding is not about killing innocent people indiscriminately.

After Li Xingyun hesitated for a moment, he looked at Xianshen and asked tentatively, "Do any of the seniors have any way to make people fall into a deep sleep or coma?
Just let her fall asleep. My disguise method is not bad. I think I can let one of us pretend to be the Zengcheng Princess. "

Turning over the fresh ginseng finger, a white worm appeared on the fingertip, "This poison is called longevity, and it can make people enter a state of suspended animation.

Although the quality is not high, it is enough to deal with her. Now is the second step after placing the poison. Where do you plan to hide Liu Xinyuan. "

"It's hidden in the Nanzhao Palace." Hearing Li Xingyun's words, Chi Meng was stunned for a moment before reacting. He took out a firefly-like voodoo from the gourd. At this moment, the tail end of the voodoo was constantly glowing.

After seeing the Gu worm, Ji Ruxue also realized Li Xingyun's plan, "Do you want Xiao Xiao from Gui Shizi to help us secretly?"

"Yes, little Miss Xiao has already entered the Nanzhao Palace. Although we have never contacted her, it does not mean that we do not have an informant around Chi Li."
