Legend of the Knight

Chapter 199 The Princess and the Prince

The relationship between Xiao Yao and Huang Xiaoshi has three levels.

On the first level of relationship, Xiao Yao and Huang Xiaoshi participated in a bloody battle in Hangzhou. Huang Xiaoshi was kind to Xiao Yao and helped him solve a large group of beggars.

On the second level, Xiao Yao and Huang Xiaoshi both work for King Cheng, and they are colleagues to a certain extent.

The third level of relationship, broken down, Xiao Yao works for Dongchang, the factory owner of Dongchang is Chen Chongying, and Chen Chongying is a die-hard supporter of Huang Xiaoshi.Therefore, Xiao Yao is Huang Xiaoshi's subordinate who has been separated by countless layers.

However, now Xiao Yao and Huang Xiaoshi only know each other's first-level identity.

As far as the first-level status is concerned, Xiao Yao suddenly talked about such a big matter to Huang Xiaoshi, which is probably a bit shallow.

But for some reason, Xiao Yao felt that Huang Xiaoshi must be reliable for this matter, and now he only had Huang Xiaoshi to look for.

It just so happened that Huang Xiaoshi was not a talkative person at the critical moment, and after hearing this, he didn't ask Xiao Yao where the news came from, saving Xiao Yao the effort of making up a lie.

Huang Xiaoshi didn't ask Xiao Yao where the news came from. It didn't mean that he wasn't curious, or that he didn't care about the source of the news, but that Huang Xiaoshi's level was much higher than what Xiao Yao could perceive. layer.

Huang Xiaoshi naturally knew about the marriage.

The war between the Central Plains and the Nomadic Ministry will drag on for many years, and there will be no result until the Tianlong Cult and the Central Plains Wulin decide the winner.

If the Heavenly Dragon Sect wins the Central Plains martial arts, then the nomadic department will take the opportunity to go south and east, and the imperial court will retreat steadily, losing a large area of ​​control.

If the martial arts in the Central Plains wins the Heavenly Dragon Sect, and the six factions angrily kill the Dragon King, causing the core of the nomadic tribe to collapse, then the nomadic tribe will present their new leader among these tribes, Princess Wei Ni of the Qierjisi tribe, to the emperor. Throw in the towel and ask for a kiss.

If the martial arts of the Central Plains and Tianlongjiao are inextricably fought, then the ending will be delayed until King Cheng and the emperor decide the winner.

The war between the Nomadic Ministry and the Central Plains imperial court started before the world was in chaos and ended when the dust settled, and it would take many years to fight.

Based on this judgment, Huang Xiaoshi misjudged the strength of the nomadic department.

But at the moment, Huang Xiaoshi was still a little surprised when he heard the news, because the marriage of the Nomad Department represented the decline of the Tianlong Cult.

Hey, the Dragon King isn't dead yet, you guys actually want to start anew?

Could this be a sign that the Heavenly Dragon Sect is losing power in the Western Regions?

I didn't expect that Tianlongjiao, a behemoth, seemed to be quite capable of fighting, so it killed the Central Plains Wulin to the brim, and it turned out to be the end of its strength?
If this is the case, is there any need for me to go all out to find the old boat ticket for the token of the Heavenly King and board the leaky broken boat of the Tianlong Sect?

Xiao Yao naturally didn't know what was going on in Huang Xiaoshi's mind, so he said anxiously to Huang Xiaoshi: "Princess Wei Ni, as the symbol of this contract, also represents the sincerity of the countries in the Western Regions.

Now that the princess has been robbed, coupled with someone provoking, I am afraid that it will lead to even greater disputes. "

Huang Xiaoshi nodded.

Marriage can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period at the earliest, but the mode of sending princesses abroad was opened in the Han Dynasty.

After that, the level of marriage was set at the level of the princess, and women who were inferior could not give it away at all.

However, since the past dynasties, the Central Plains dynasty usually sent women to make marriages, and this crazy emperor was able to beat the nomad department to take the initiative to send a princess to make marriages.

This point alone is actually enough for the historian to write a special book.

However, this emperor did things too casually and didn't care much about his own reputation, so he never gave the historian a good look, and the historian naturally would not use the spring and autumn style of writing to the emperor.

……

In history, there was another neurotic emperor. He was also crazy and loved to play. In addition to being licentious, he also reused eunuchs. He was called "Eight Tigers" at that time.

Moreover, as soon as the emperor became mentally ill, he proclaimed himself the governor of military affairs, the mighty general, and the commander-in-chief, and escaped from the capital in disguise.

The last hero of the Mongolian Tatar tribe, the little prince of Zhongxing, led [-] Mongolian cavalry southward after unifying the major tribes of Mongolia.

The crazy emperor led his men and horses to fight the little prince for several days, and finally defeated the little prince, completely breaking the backbone of Mongolia's rise.

From then on, Mongolia was no longer able to compete with the Central Plains Dynasty, and even under the attack of other tribes, it was getting worse and worse.

In the danger of this war, this mighty general personally killed the enemy. As a result, it is recorded in the history books that "16 people were killed by the Mongolian army and 52 by the imperial army."

……

According to such records, the current situation should be that the imperial court and the nomadic department dispatched 20 horses. In the Northwest War for several years, the nomadic department suffered 160 casualties, the imperial army killed 520 people, and the beggar tribe presented the princess for peace.

Possibly, if it is really written in the book, the words may be even worse than this.

"Daughter of a foreign race, mess with my dragon species."

It's just that this emperor is very powerful, and no one dares to make noise in front of him when he is in power.

Once, a minister publicly said at a court meeting: "A country cannot live without a king, nor can it live without a reserve. The minister asked the emperor to establish the foundation of the country."

Prince Chu, also known as Guoben, is usually the son of the emperor, known as Crown Prince, or Prince for short.

In special cases, it can also be the grandson of the emperor, the grandson of the emperor.

In addition, there are emperor's younger brother, emperor's uncle, etc., as long as they are the direct blood of the former emperor, they are all fine.

But the current situation is that the emperor has no son, and the minister's memorial is very embarrassing.

The emperor left the memorial and walked slowly to the minister. When the civil and military officials in the hall didn't know what the emperor was going to do, the emperor spit on the minister's face.

"Ah bah!" The emperor was still angry after spitting, he jumped up and cursed: "Chen Mingdao, you are old and disrespectful, just let a pear tree crush a crabapple, you have married so many concubines , not even a single son was born.”

After scolding, the emperor sat back on the dragon chair again, had something to say, and continued to go to court.The minister who was spat on went home safely.

……

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a temptation, because now if you want to establish a crown prince, you can only establish King Cheng.

This was a tricky problem that the emperor couldn't answer well, and he would answer it wrong no matter what, but he resolved it with a mouthful of saliva.

From then on, the minister never made a statement to establish the foundation of the country, because the emperor's attitude had been tested, and he didn't want to pass the throne to King Cheng.

Then, the only way for the emperor now is to quickly give birth to another child, but Chen Chongying knew that the function of the emperor was no longer good.

This is the most important part of the crown prince's identity. Once the news spreads that the crown prince is still alive, no matter whether the emperor is willing or not, after his death, the throne can only be passed on to the prince.

Because the emperor died when he had no reserve, the succession of the throne was in the order from near to far, from elder to younger.

In terms of the emperor's own bloodline, the relationship between the son and him is closer than that of King Cheng. (For those who don’t understand, just draw a picture of a tree to understand)
Not to fight is to fight.

Chen Chongying didn't care at all how the emperor and King Cheng fought, no matter how they fought, the world ultimately belonged to the prince.

The current three parties, the emperor, King Cheng, and the son, the emperor is obviously on the opposite side of the king and the son, and Chen Chongying is only temporarily getting closer to the king out of protecting the son.

……

Xiao Yao looked at Huang Xiaoshi in a daze, thinking he was thinking about the princess.

Little did they know, Huang Xiaoshi's thoughts had already flown to some mountain.

"There is one more difficult thing about this matter." Xiao Yao suppressed the anxiety in his heart and said to Huang Xiaoshi: "This matter is very important, and we must not make it public. If people know that the princess has been robbed, it will be regarded as saving the princess. , I'm afraid it's..."

Gifts to the emperor must be the most noble and absolutely flawless.

The princess was robbed, not to mention being molested by others, even if a man touched her or kissed her a few times, it would still damage her chastity.

How can such broken things be given to the emperor?

Hearing these words, Huang Xiaoshi came back to his senses, this matter is definitely more troublesome than he imagined.

Ah, Sybara.I don't care about it.

Huang Xiaoshi quickly retreated in his heart. After a feigned sigh, he bowed to Xiao Yao and said, "Brother Xiao, for such a big event, Huang is afraid..."

"Brother Huang!" Xiao Yao held Huang Xiaoshi's hand tightly and said, "Xiao Yao can only rely on you!"

Huang Xiaoshi was upset.

To be honest, Xiao Yao, you are a bit shameless.

I said no, no, you still insist on holding my hand, why don't you know how to advance or retreat.

Of course, what are beggars doing with their faces? Can they still get food if they beg for faces?

In addition to being shameless, you have to insist on being shameless.

It's just that everyone had a good relationship before, Huang Xiaoshi didn't want to make his words too harsh, he said to Xiao Yao: "Brother Xiao, you think highly of me. How can I, Huang Xiaoshi, be able to deal with such a big matter? Please be clever."

The street was full of people, Xiao Yao knelt down to Huang Xiaoshi in no time.

"Look at that stinky beggar, he is so shameless to beg for food, he drags others and kneels for others, and he won't let them go."

"At a young age, with good hands and feet, to be so lazy, the world is going down, the world is going down!"

Xiao Yao hadn't done anything yet, Huang Xiaoshi's face was a little uneasy.

Anyway, I can be regarded as a respectable person in Luoyang, so there is no need for everyone to be so embarrassed.

Okay, okay, I get it.

It is said that barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes, but I am afraid of you.

After Huang Xiaoshi stretched out his hand to help Xiao Yao up, he said to him, "Brother Xiao, get up and talk."

As soon as Huang Xiaoshi's tone softened, Xiao Yao immediately got up and said to Huang Xiaoshi: "Brother Huang, I just received a tip that the kidnappers of the princess changed their boats in Luoyang North to cover up their eyes. Travel along the Yellow River.

I think their changing ships is also a deception, and they will definitely go ashore again when it gets dark, so that they will lose their whereabouts.

The only way to rescue the princess was before they landed. "

"Oh." Huang Xiaoshi understood that the location was already there, and now he urgently needed to find someone to form a rescue team, so Xiao Yao found him.

"Okay, when will brother Xiao leave?" Huang Xiaoshi asked Xiao Yao.

Xiao Yao smiled wryly at Huang Xiaoshi and said, "Brother Huang can only handle this matter alone."

"What?" Huang Xiaoshi was dumbfounded when he heard this, he is subcontracting a project with you.

"Brother Huang, this matter is related to the war or peace between the tribes in the Central Plains and the Western Regions, and it is also related to the lives and deaths of thousands of people. I beg Brother Huang to rescue the princess." Xiao Yao solemnly saluted Huang Xiaoshi.

"Xiao Yao, Xiao Yao." An old man shouted loudly from a distance: "Come on, come on, here is a little brother called Huaji."

"Hey, here we come." After Xiao Yao replied in a cheerful voice, he immediately lowered his voice and said to Huang Xiaoshi: "It's not too late, I will explain to you slowly later."

Xiao Yao turned around and was about to leave, but Huang Xiaoshi grabbed him.

"Hey, if people are rescued, where will they be sent?" Huang Xiaoshi asked Xiao Yao.

"Lu Shaolin from the Golden Wind Escort is on his way. If Brother Huang rescues someone, you can wait for him at the Luoyang pier." After Xiao Yao finished speaking to Huang Xiaoshi, he hurried away.

……

Although Xiao Yao only said a few words, Huang Xiaoshi had already guessed the whole thing.

To put it simply, due to unknown reasons, well, in fact, it was to prevent the people of the Tianlong Cult from knowing that the person who sent the princess from the Western Regions to marry her was very low-key and did not make much fanfare.

They also contacted the Central Plains beforehand, and the people in the Central Plains were probably either Jinyiwei or Dongchang, and the meeting point was probably Luoyang.

Well, in order to ensure the purity of the princess, the person who came to meet her should be someone from Dongchang.

As a result, at this moment, a group of people killed the sender and took the princess away.

……

Xiao Yao just said a few words like this, but Huang Xiaoshi had already guessed who was behind the robbery of the princess and who this group of people was.

First, these people have super intelligence support.

This time the secret marriage, the nomadic department did it very confidentially.

The Nomadic Department and the Tianlong Sect belong to two sides of the same body. Even if the Nomad Department wanted to quietly talk about the marriage without the Tianlong Sect, they did, but you must know that Huang Xiaoshi and Ji Wushuang are both high-level members of the Tianlong Sect. None of them knew about it, which is enough to show the degree of confidentiality of this matter.

And this matter was robbed by someone else.

In other words, there are very few people in the world with such strong intelligence capabilities.

Second, this thing is done very strangely.

To destroy the marriage, the easiest way is to kill the princess with a knife.If you think that killing with one knife is not enough, you can take off your clothes and kill again.There is no need to snatch a living person away.

This shows that the masters of these people need a living princess, rather than just destroying the marriage.

It must be said that this should be called "grabbing a kiss".

The answer is very clear, the only person who can benefit from doing so is King Cheng.

Moreover, Huang Xiaoshi can affirm that the people who did this are Tianyi City out of ten.

Because the most important forces under King Cheng are Tianlong Cult and Tianyi City.

Since this matter involves hiding the truth from the Tianlong Sect, it must not be a member of the Tianlong Sect.

In addition, even if the errand of the East Factory is broken, it must not be someone from the East Factory.

That can only be done by Tianyi City.

Huang Xiaoshi suddenly discovered that Cheng Wang's team also had serious differences of interests.

Just talk about making peace.

What King Cheng hopes is to destroy the marriage, not to make it happen, so that the war needs to be fought urgently.

Dongchang is an errand that is ordered by the emperor, so if this job is done well, there may not be rewards. If something goes wrong, many people will inevitably lose their heads.

At the same time, Chen Chongying doesn't want the world to be in chaos.

Chen Chongying did not intend to take advantage of the chaos to rebel, and this is the master's country, and it will be passed on to the young master in the future, how can he let others mess it up.

As for the Dragon King, whether it's peace or war doesn't really matter much to the current Dragon King. Anyway, he is powerless now and has been passively put to death.

But this is a matter of my own family anyway, and the Dragon King has been left aside.

The Dragon King will definitely go mad when he finds out about this.

who are my friendsWho is my enemy?
This is an extremely important overarching question.

Huang Xiaoshi counted with his fingers, and he found that the biggest threat to him right now is the emperor, and the second biggest threat is King Cheng?
Although there must be a battle between the Dragon King and himself, in fact, he took the initiative to fight the Dragon King, not the Dragon King to fight himself.

But King Cheng is different, he and himself actually have irreconcilable conflicts.

hiss.

old thief.

Then don't blame me for not being able to see you.

Huang Xiaoshi pressed his thoughts, he walked out of the square in Luoyang quickly, and ran towards the pier in the north of Luoyang before the city gate was closed.
