Civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty, begging me to ascend the throne

Chapter 74
Another day passed, and the scorching heat was beginning to show its viciousness.

Even relying on the ice cubes and the hand fan, the summer is still difficult.

However, there is no sun today, which can be regarded as a good weather. Only the inexhaustible residual heat clearly tells you that it is still a very hot day even without the sun.

Jiang Sile still followed his usual habit, met the group of elders at the gate of the city, recognized their names, and hurried to the inn to wash up.

With no water source for four days, Jiang Sile only felt that his body was going to stink.

The dust on the road is even worse. People walking outside have to cover their hair and face with a face towel, otherwise they will be covered in gravel.

Jiang Sile finally understood why there are still many countries in the real world who like to wrap their heads with that cloth.It turned out that it was all forced by the weather and the geographical environment.

Tao Xiao, the magistrate of Chengzhou who was not valued by Princess Anle, was happy to be at ease, and he only wanted to let this matter end as soon as possible.

But today, General Zhenyuan Luan Shichang, who had agreed to meet the princess together, disappeared along with his [-] soldiers.

This made Tao Zhifu feel uneasy, and sent someone to the barracks to check.

Mr. Tao was leading a group of subordinate officials to return to the government office.

At this moment, a group of Qingyi knights ran amok in Chengzhou, and rode fast horses and came not far from Master Tao.

Tao Xiao took a closer look, isn't this Qingyi's little prince Wu Qi?

This Wuqi prince is said to be Qingyi Shanyu's favorite youngest son, but Tao Xiao doesn't have much contact with him.

A few days ago, he had already been sent to the post station by the Qingyi Shanyu to wait for the princess' arrival.

After all, the two countries are still in the period of peace talks, and Tao Xiao couldn't refuse the prince from Qingyi to pick him up.

He had no choice but to limit the number of guards accompanied by Wuqi, and had to take five of them into Chengzhou City to wait, and ordered the post station officials to watch over them all the time, and report immediately if there was anything wrong.

For the rest, Master Tao is helpless.

Seeing this little prince of a different race now, Mr. Tao was neither humble nor overbearing, and asked curiously: "I wonder if the prince can find Tao for anything?"

Wu Qi hated Da Xia people, and even more hated that polite dog officer, got off his horse and walked not far from Mr. Tao, and asked impatiently:

"Where is the princess? Where is she? Did she escape back again?"

Shan Yu didn't pay much attention to the matter of welcoming the bride, but he still sent Wuqi to go there.Anyway, it's an errand, and Wuqi thinks he has to do his duty.

Hearing that the princess had come to Chengzhou City, he hurried to the gate of the city on horseback.

Master Tao was not in a hurry, and said slowly: "The princess has gone to the post station in the west of the city, the prince does not need to worry..."

Before he finished his sentence, Wuqi ignored him, got on his horse and galloped away, and the Qingyi knight behind him also galloped away
The officials at the gate of the city were left standing there dumbfounded, only to see the dust flying, and soon there was no sign of the rider on horseback.

Master Tao frowned, feeling that the prince was not kind, he immediately waved his sleeves, led a group of officials in green clothes into the carriage, and drove quickly to the post station in the west of the city

In the station

The palace people and guards were packing their luggage, and Li Yancheng was thinking about how to do business for the court.

When he arrived in Chengzhou, this was his last stop.

After sending the princess here to Qingyi, Li Yancheng will also hand over the letter of credence to Qingyi Shanyu. After that, his mission of getting married is officially over.

If Qingyi Shanyu had a reply, Li Yancheng would bring it back in person.

If not, he can return to the capital after resting for a few days, waiting for His Majesty to give him a new appointment.

Thinking about it, Li Yancheng suddenly felt that the big stone that was pressing in his heart disappeared, and his heart felt refreshed.

In a few days, I will be able to go home...

At this time, Li Yancheng moved his ears, and suddenly heard the faint sound of horseshoes.

Just as he was wondering who it was, this group of people had already appeared in front of him, pulling the reins, and stopped in front of Li Yancheng.

Li Yancheng took a closer look and found that the leader of this group was a young man dressed as a barbarian. This young man was tall and straight, skilled in riding skills, rather arrogant, and his brows were full of rebelliousness.

When he spoke to Li Yancheng, he was also quite impolite. He pointed at Li Yancheng with a whip in one hand and asked:
"Big Xia's princess, but here?"

Li Yancheng was not frightened by this yellow-haired boy, and asked calmly: "Who is your Excellency? This Li Yancheng is the head of the envoy, Shi. The princess is indeed among them."

Finally found the right place, Wuqi's frowning brows slightly relaxed, he dismounted from the horse sideways, and ordered arrogantly: "Since the princess is here, I don't need your Daxia people to guard her. Hmph ~ take me to see the princess!"

Li Yancheng's expression remained unchanged, he stood in front of Wuqi, and continued to reply: "The princess is still grooming, so it's inconvenient to see guests. Who is your Excellency, please tell me, and I will pass on the information."

Li Yancheng only felt that he had calmed down a little during this journey. After all, he dealt with two equally arrogant people, the little Taoist priest and A Yishi all day long, so he was quite immune to it.

Coupled with the fact that he has been relieved recently, he didn't care too much about this person's rude behavior.

At this time, Wu Qi lazily announced his name and said: "I am Wu Qi, Prince of Qingyi, ordered by Shan Yu to welcome the princess into Qingyi."

"Oh, it was Prince Qingyi. This way please..."

Li Yancheng reluctantly exchanged greetings with Wu Qi, and while leading the group of Qingyi people into the main hall, he asked the soldiers beside him to report the news to Jiang Sile.

……

At this time, the bedroom

Jiang Sile had just finished grooming, her hair was still half wet and draped over her shoulders, her eyes were slightly squinted, and she was quite sleepy.

Even Lvzhi lost the vitality of the past, with a weary look on her face.These days, the road has been full of sand and dust, and the road is quite difficult to walk. Even General Li's horses were bitten by unknown bugs in the wild, and two of them died.

The wilderness here is the most difficult, so everyone gritted their teeth and hurried on their way, speeding up, wanting to come to town earlier.

The green branches are propping open the wooden window, making the room brighter.

At this moment, someone knocked on the door suddenly.

Hearing the sound, Lu Zhi walked to the door, opened the door slightly, and looked at the person coming.

"But what's the matter? Your Highness is resting, please keep your voice low..." Luzhi put a finger to his mouth, as if silent.

The soldier Khan at the door lowered his head hissingly, looked at the girl Lu Zhi, and said softly: "Just now a prince from Qingyi came to the door and said he wanted to see the princess."

"The commander took him to the main hall, let me come and inform the princess."

Luzhi nodded slightly, and whispered: "Go and rest, you are out of breath. I'll tell the princess about it."

After the soldier left, Lu Zhi took small steps to the head of the bed, and said to Jiang Sile who was sleeping with closed eyes, "Princess, the prince of Qingyi is here. He said he wanted to see you in the main hall."

"Prince Qingyi?" Jiang Sile opened his eyes, somewhat puzzled.

She heard the conversation between the two just now.

Not long after she arrived at the inn, the prince followed closely.

Thinking about it, Jiang Sile frowned slightly, and said:

"I'm afraid... the visitor is not good!"
