Jiangbei female bandits
Chapter 53
Chapter 53
In November of the fourth year of Yongning, the news that Zheng Lun had killed Xue Shengying and occupied Qingzhou for self-reliance spread to Shengdu.Feng Junyang angrily reprimanded Zheng Lun, saying that such an unfaithful and unrighteous person can be punished by everyone in the world, and asked the court to fight, willing to personally lead the army to attack Zheng Lun.
In February of the first year of Xinwu, Zheng Lun abandoned Feng Junyang's in-laws, the He family, and formed an alliance with the Jingyang Zhang family to fight against the He family.Just when everyone thought that Zheng Lun and Zhang Huaimin would join forces to attack He Ze, in May, Zheng Lun quietly led his troops south along the western foot of Taihang Mountain, pointing directly at Yiping.
At the same time, Juyi Village, the largest village in the Taihang Mountains, also united with the other major villages in the South Taihang Mountains, sent troops out of Taihang, and merged with Zheng Lun's army. Captured Yiping.
He Zeren was still in Wu'an, and after receiving the military report, he sat silently for a while, then looked up at his confidant and staff, and asked, "Do you want to take Yiping back?"
The staff member had to think about it, but said: "It depends on whether Zheng Lun and Feng Junyang have really broken up. If there is a real breakup, it doesn't matter if Zheng Lun occupies Yiping first. But if the two of them are just acting, he will win the favor." Ping, that is to seize for Feng Junyang, we must not allow him to occupy Yiping, otherwise, Feng Junyang will have a way to go north."
He Ze sneered softly, and said, "People can't predict whether Zheng Lun is still loyal to Feng Junyang now, let alone us, even Feng Junyang himself is not sure."
In Yiping City, Chen Nian stood alone on the highest point of the South Tower and looked south silently, it had already been half a day.It wasn't until it was getting dark that she came back to her senses, she heard footsteps on the stairs behind her, and she thought it was a fool who came to find her to go back to eat, so she shouted: "No need to come up, I'll go down right now. "
The footsteps stopped for a while, and then continued to come up.Chen Nian was a little surprised, turned around to look, but saw Zheng Lun coming up from the stairs.She smiled unconsciously, and explained: "I still think it's an idiot to come over and ask me to eat."
Zheng Lun said lightly: "He wants to come over, and I just want to come up to inspect, so I asked me to help him bring this to you."
Chen Nian laughed, and sighed: "This lazy man!"
Zheng Lun glanced at her, walked to the window and looked out, and asked casually, "Have you been up there for a long time? What are you looking at?"
Chen Nian also turned around, turned his eyes to the outside of the city again, and replied with a smile: "I didn't look at anything, I just watched and played. I didn't expect to capture Yiping City so easily. I always feel a little unbelievable. You don't know The day I told Cui Xi that we wanted to seize Yiping, he was so surprised, who would have thought that I would stand on the tower of Yiping City in less than a year."
"Cui Xi?" Zheng Lun was a little surprised. He cooperated with Chen Nian to attack the city. He already knew several people who were registered in Juyi Village, but he had never seen this Cui Xi.
Chen Nian lowered his head slowly, and replied softly: "He was originally the second head of Juyi Village, the military advisor in the village, and he trained my soldiers. He is also the youngest son of Yang Cheng's waifu. , was chased by Xue Shengying to the mountains, and rescued by Wen Daya and the others."
Zheng Lun frowned upon hearing this, and said: "How can you put such a person by your side? Yang Cheng died at the hands of the prince, he and the prince have a sworn hatred."
There was a trace of bitterness on Chen Nian's lips, he nodded and said: "Yes, he had a grudge against Feng Junyang, so he revealed my whereabouts to He Ze. The brothers in the village all said that he was ungrateful and repayed his kindness with revenge. What kind of revenge is it? He just wants to avenge the killing of his father. When Feng Junyang plotted against Yang Cheng, I was by Feng Junyang's side and discussed with him how to be safe. Cui Xi sought revenge from me, But it's true."
Zheng Lun pursed his lips and remained silent. After a while, he asked Chen Nian again, "Where is Cui Xi now? Can you kill him?"
"No." Chen Young smiled and shook his head, "I locked him up after I returned to the village, how can I kill him? He also has a younger sister, who is only four or five years old this year. What will Maoer do if Cui Xi is killed? Do you want to cut grass and roots together? Or lie to her that my brother was killed by someone else, so that she will continue to treat me as a benefactor?"
"The benevolence of a woman!" Zheng Lun couldn't help but said, then changed the subject, and asked Chen Nian, "I can't stay here for long, I have to return to Qingzhou as soon as possible, leaving you with [-] troops, may you guard Yiping? "
"Twenty thousand?" Chen Nian raised his eyebrows, shook his head with a smile, "It doesn't need that much, you just leave me three thousand elite soldiers, I still have a few thousand village soldiers, it's enough to keep Yiping. "
Zheng Lun didn't want her to push her so hard, so he couldn't help but glance at her, and said: "The thing that the He family is most afraid of is not the Zhang family, nor me, but the prince. The prince is already dispatching troops to the north. He Ze wants to prevent the prince from Going north via Yiping and occupying Qingzhou and Jizhou, it is very likely that the troops will be divided into two groups, one to attack Qingzhou and the other to capture Yiping. No matter which of these two places is captured, the prince can be stopped. Qingzhou is still there It's more dangerous, I don't need too many soldiers to defend it, but it may be more difficult for you."
Chen Nian smiled and said, "Your speculation is based on He Ze's disbelief that you are really self-reliant, that's why you acted like that. If you really broke with Feng Junyang, he might ignore it first." You, concentrate on beating Zhang Huaimin, and only after the Zhang family is destroyed, will you turn around and deal with you again."
Zheng Lun heard something in her words, and asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean?"
"It's very simple. When you really break up with Feng Junyang, not only will He Ze not come to fight Yiping, but I'm afraid Feng Junyang will hurry to send troops here so that he can watch your master and servant fight."
Zheng Lun misunderstood that Chen Nian was here to persuade him to betray Feng Junyang, his face darkened, and he said, "I said before, I will not betray the lord."
"I don't want you to betray him, otherwise Jiangbei will fight for another two years, and the people who suffer are the common people." Chen Nian smiled, turned his head to look outside the city, and after a while, suddenly Ask him, "Zheng Lun, are you married in Yunxi?"
Zheng Lun didn't expect that she would ask this suddenly, so he frowned and said coldly, "I haven't married a wife yet."
Chen Nian nodded slowly, and asked again: "Do you have someone in mind?"
Zheng Lun didn't know why she asked this, felt a little strange, and didn't know how to answer, so he just pursed his lips and remained silent.He was so silent, but Chen Nian misunderstood him, thinking that Zheng Lun could not love Yun Sheng, so he smiled apologetically at him and said, "I'm sorry, I asked about your sadness. It's just that Yunsheng is your prince's fiancée, no matter how much you fall in love with her, I'm afraid you won't be able to get what you want."
"Stop talking nonsense!" Zheng Lun suddenly became a little annoyed, and felt disturbed in his heart. He didn't want to stay here with Chen Nian any longer, so he turned around and walked towards the stairs.
However, Chen Nian stepped forward to stop him, raised his head slightly to look at him, and said in a deep voice, "Zheng Lun, you should marry me."
These words hit Zheng Lun's heart like a heavy hammer, causing him to suffocate. After a while, he regained his composure and said, "Miss Xie, are you crazy?"
He didn't want to pay attention to her any more, and walked around her to go downstairs.
However, Chen Nian stopped him several times and only asked him: "Are you afraid that Feng Junyang won't tolerate you in the future and will kill you again?"
Seeing that he couldn't get around her, Zheng Lun simply stopped, looked at her coldly, and said, "Miss Xie, Zheng Lun is never afraid of death."
"Then what are you afraid of?" Chen Nian stared at him and asked, "Everyone knows that I am Feng Junyang's confinement, as long as you marry me, no one will doubt whether you really broke with Feng Junyang, Feng Junyang No matter how many troops Yang transfers to the north, people will only think he is coming to you. Moreover," Chen Nian suddenly smiled, "Once I marry you, even if we are in name only, Feng Junyang will feel that If you have a grudge, I can no longer threaten your Miss Yunsheng."
Zheng Lun suppressed the anger in his heart, and asked in a cold voice: "Miss Xie, what are you planning?"
"What am I planning?" Chen Nian slightly frowned, and replied, "I only want to save people from dying in Yiping City, that's enough."
Zheng Lun's eyes were extremely complicated, and there seemed to be inexplicable emotions in it. He looked at Chen Nian for a long time, and then asked: "Do you know that he loves you deeply?"
Chen Nian lowered his eyes slightly.
Zheng Lun asked again: "Do you know that once you marry me, you will not be able to marry him again? Even if he takes over the world in the future, he can't take the wives of his officials while I'm alive, and he can't take widows into my house even after I'm dead." palace."
Chennian raised his eyes to look at him, but after a while he smiled, and said: "General Zheng, you are really strange. Whether Xie Chennian marries Feng Junyang, what does it have to do with you? If you are afraid of death, just say so , don’t make these excuses.”
Zheng Lun stared at her, and said slowly: "Miss Xie, I, Zheng Lun, have put life and death at risk since the day Qingzhou raised troops. Even if I don't marry you, he may not be able to tolerate me in the future, but Even if I marry you, he may not be able to kill me. But, have you really thought about it? Do you really don't want to be with him anymore? "
The corners of Chen Nian's mouth slowly flattened, but suddenly raised again, and he said half-truthfully, "General Zheng, you are an honest man. Just think about it yourself, when your prince wins the world in the future, the queen will naturally be Your Miss Yunsheng, I am a concubine after breaking the sky. But can a concubine be born in a bandit village? So your prince must clean me up and become the daughter of some minister Therefore, whether Xie Chennian marries Zheng Lun or not, he can’t marry Feng Junyang. The one who will marry him can only be a lady from a famous family. My strategy seems to be gambling on Xie Chennian’s reputation and your life, but Xie Chennian’s Fame is useless, after all, you are the only one who is cheated."
Zheng Lun frowned when she heard that, and asked her, "Do you want to change your identity to be with him?"
"Not necessarily, it all depends on whether he is willing to believe my innocence." Chen Nian withdrew his smile and said seriously, "Zheng Lun, this is just a gamble, for the sake of deceiving He Ze, for the sake of saving money. Kill innocent people, the two of us go to gamble with Feng Junyang, I gamble on his trust in me, but you gamble on his tolerance."
Zheng Lun pursed his lips and remained silent for a while.
Chen Nian took two steps back, stood at the top of the stairs, and said to him: "This matter cannot be forced, and it involves your life and death. You still need to make a decision yourself. I hope you can give me an answer before you leave. .”
After she finished speaking, she stopped persuading her and turned around and went downstairs.As soon as he got down from the city wall, Sha Da came over and asked in a harsh voice, "Master, do you want to go back to eat?"
Chen Nian nodded, but he didn't get on his horse either. He just led his horse and walked slowly towards the Chengshou Mansion. On the way, he met Chaoyangzi coming out of the barracks with a medical box on his back. "Daozhang, what happened to those wounded soldiers?"
Chaoyangzi has been busy saving people for the past few days, his eyes were red from the heat, and he said: "All those who can be saved are saved, and those who cannot be saved can only be given a happy ending." He couldn't help but stop and turned his head Looking at Chen Nian, he asked a little excitedly, "Do you have to fight for it like this? That's right, they are humble, they don't recognize a single character, they only know how to eat from the ground, and they spend their whole lives facing the loess and their backs to the sky, but they They are also raised by their fathers and mothers, and they also have arms and legs, they are also living people!"
Chen Nian remained silent, only bowed his head and walked slowly.After Chaoyangzi lost his temper, seeing her like this, he felt a little regretful, thought for a while, and said in a low voice: "I'm not against you, I'm just angry that those aristocratic families want to win the world, regardless of the life and death of the people, and take countless money. Human life is used to fill one's own ambitions."
Chen Nian raised his head and grinned at him, and said: "Master Dao, I know you feel uncomfortable. It's just that the general trend of the world is chaos and chaos, and neither of you and I can change the way of heaven. Since the world is already in chaos, we can do it." The purpose is to protect the lives of some common people and look forward to the arrival of great rule.”
Chaoyangzi was full of helpless resentment, but there was nowhere to arouse it, so he could only let out a long sigh.
A few people returned to the city guard's mansion, but they saw Wen Daya standing at the bottom of the steps with his hands behind his back, looking up at the door plaque in a daze.Chen Nian threw the rein in his hand to Sha Da, stepped forward and asked, "What is Brother Wen looking at?"
Wen Daya turned around to look at Chen Nian, still in disbelief and asked her: "We're going to take Yiping City now?"
Chen Nian nodded with a smile: "That's right."
Wen Daya asked again: "Then how will we make a living in the future? Where can we do business here?"
Chen Nian didn't think that this was what he was worried about, so he couldn't help laughing, stretched out his hand and patted Wen Daya's shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Brother Wen, it's no different in the city than you are in the mountains. You used to go down the mountain to do business. Now you have to guard this Yiping City to do business. No matter who lives or walks here, they have to give you some money."
Wen Daya was puzzled: "What kind of business is this?"
Chen Nian suppressed a smile and replied, "This is called tax collection."
Chaoyangzi laughed out loud when he heard this, and took the lead to enter the door with the medical box on his back. Chen Nian patted Wen Daya, who was a little dazed, and said with a smile, "Hurry up and go back, we haven't eaten yet."
The food in the mansion has already been prepared, although it is rough, but Chen Nian and others are not fastidious people, but they eat with relish.Everyone was eating around the table, but Zheng Lun strode in from the outside, stood in front of the table, looked at Chen Nian, and said in a deep voice, "Miss Xie, I will marry you."
Before he finished speaking, a chopstick in Wen Daya's hand fell to the ground first.
Chen Nian looked up at Zheng Lun, and replied calmly: "Okay, you take Yiping as the employment, and I will marry you."
As soon as these words came out, another chopstick in Wen Daya's hand fell to the ground.Zheng Lun didn't say any more, turned around and strode away.Everyone in the room was stunned and sat there in a daze, but Wen Daya was the first to come back to his senses, looked at Chen Nian again, and said in surprise: "The master?"
Chen Nian raised his eyebrows to look at him and asked, "What's the matter?"
Wen Daya pointed to the direction where Zheng Lun left, and asked Chen Nian in disbelief, "You want to marry him?"
Chen Nian nodded, and replied: "He is not married, and I am not married. Wouldn't it be nice for the two to get together?"
Lingque suddenly stood up from the table and asked impulsively, "What about Brother Lu? What will Brother Lu do if you marry General Zheng?"
As soon as these words were uttered, the room was silent again. Seeing his daughter's impulsiveness, Lu Rongfeng quickly stretched out his hand to pull her to sit down. Unexpectedly, Ling Que shook off his father's hand vigorously, and only stared at Chen Nian again and asked. : "He went to take what you need, but you want to marry someone else here. When he comes back later, do you still have the face to see him?"
"Spirit sparrow!" Lu Rongfeng scolded angrily, got up and raised his hand to slap his daughter in the face.
Chen Nian's fingers moved slightly, and the chopsticks at the end of that finger shot out, hitting Lu Rongfeng's wrist and opening his hand.Chen Nian looked at Ling Que calmly, and asked: "Ling Que, you counted the number of dead and injured in the village. Tell me, how many people did we die when we captured Yiping this time?"
Lingque paused for a moment, then replied with a sullen face, "One thousand three hundred and fifty people have died."
Chen Nian asked again, "Do you know how many casualties there were in General Zheng's army?"
"They were more numerous than us, and they were the main force in attacking the city, so they died more."
"Do you know how many soldiers guarding the city of Yiping died?"
Sparrow turned her head away, bit her lip and did not answer.
Chen Nian just looked at her quietly, with a calm and restrained voice: "How many of them have parents? How many of them have beautiful wives and young children? I have the face to go See, why don't I have the face to see Lu Xiao?"
Lingque couldn't answer, and stood there for a while, but suddenly covered her mouth and cried out, and ran out by herself.
Chen Nian only glanced at it indifferently, and told Wen Da Ya: "Follow her and have a look, don't cause any trouble to her."
In July of the first year of Xinwu, Zheng Lun, the new lord of Qingzhou, used Yiping City as an offer to marry Xie Chennian, the female lord of Juyi Village in Taihang.When the news came out, the whole world was in an uproar.
In the Grand General's Mansion in Shengdu, Feng Junyang locked himself in the study for a whole day and night without any movement.In desperation, Shunping had no choice but to force his way in, knelt in front of Feng Junyang's couch, kowtowed and cried: "Master, you should think more about the good. Miss Xie did this, Xu De was deliberately angry with you, but she Doesn't it mean that I still have you in my heart."
Feng Junyang heard the words, but there was a wry smile on his lips, and he said softly: "She is not just trying to get angry with me, she is thinking of sacrificing her life for righteousness, just like that year in Feilongxing, when the Jizhou army arrested me. When her partner left, she knew she would die if she went away, so she left me to chase after her."
"This promise is retribution." His eyes were a little empty, and he looked at the roof silently. "In my heart, Jiangshan is more important than her, so in her heart, righteousness is far more important than me."
He was lost in thought for a long time, and then he softly told Shunping: "Prepare for the ceremony, I'm going to watch the ceremony."
Because Zheng Lun was going to return to Qingzhou with his troops, the wedding was scheduled for the ninth day of August. Although the time was a bit rushed, it was just during the war, both men and women didn't care, and no one else objected. Preparations for the wedding.
A few days later, Jing Yuxuan followed the victims of Juyi Village to Yiping City. Hearing that his apprentice was going to marry Zheng Lun, he actually found him in the army and had a fight with Zheng Lun. The trick still didn't go downhill, so he stopped and said: "Okay, just you kid!"
Chennian, Chaoyangzi and others rushed over after hearing the news, they couldn't laugh or cry, Chaoyangzi pulled Jing Yuxuan aside to train, Chennian smiled apologetically at Zheng Lun, and said, "I'm sorry, my master is With this temper, she has no malice."
"Nothing." Zheng Lun said, then turned around and walked towards Jingyuxuan, bowed solemnly to him, "Thank you senior for teaching Zheng Lun kung fu."
Jing Yuxuan was already impatient with Chaoyangzi's reading, and seeing Zheng Lun coming to pay respects, she pointed at him and Chaoyangzi and said, "Look, he's fine, why are you still talking to me? "
Chaoyangzi had no choice but to drag her away.Chen Nian smiled, said goodbye to Zheng Lun, and wanted to leave too.Unexpectedly, Zheng Lun followed behind and said, "I'll take you back."
Chen Nian tilted his head and smiled at him, and said: "No need, you are busy with your work, I can go by myself, the sky is sunny, and it is in the city, there will be no danger."
Zheng Lun didn't look at her, but said in a low voice: "There are spies everywhere in the city. If you want to play, don't show your feet."
Chen Nian understood what he meant, nodded lightly, and after leaving the barracks, he moved closer to Zheng Lun, walked slowly side by side with him, and chatted casually, "Have you ever been to Yiping before?"
Zheng Lun unconsciously turned to the side, and then said: "Come here."
Chen Nian was still waiting for his next words, but he didn't want to but fell silent again. In desperation, she could only take the words by herself, and said with a smile: "I've been here before, but it's too early, and I still want to talk to you." The partners from Qingfeng Village sneaked here together, and the two of them saved a few taels of silver in total, but they carried it like a mountain of gold in their arms. Hate to buy it."
Zheng Lun was fascinated by this, and asked in a low voice, "What happened next?"
"Later?" Chen Nian couldn't help chuckling, the corners of his mouth curled up, he turned his head to look at Zheng Lun, and spread his hands, "Later, the silver was stolen by a thief. My partner and I were so angry and distressed that we stood on the street and hopped and cursed. That little thief scolded him for half a day for being so dishonest that he stole all the money, and we robbers still know how to leave people with travel expenses!"
She spoke so vividly that even Zheng Lun couldn't help laughing, but after the smile, he immediately suppressed the smile, and the corners of his mouth pulled down slightly.Chen Nian didn't notice, and continued to say: "Fortunately, my partner bought a silver hairpin for the girl he likes before, and it's not in vain. It's just that he wanted to give me one, but he didn't want the money, but he was taken away by the little girl." The thief stole it, so don't give it to me, but I feel sorry for it, and finally..."
As she was talking, she suddenly felt that her throat was choked, and she couldn't continue. After a pause, she smiled again and said: "It took a few big bucks to buy a wooden hairpin to deal with me, and I was so angry that I chased after you." He ran half a mountain and scolded that little thief who stole people's silver for a long time."
The corners of Zheng Lun's mouth couldn't stay tight, so he could only loosen it slowly, and said, "Miss Xie, bandits are not much better than little thieves."
Chen Nian smiled, nodded and said: "Yes, but at that time we just thought that being bandits was a matter of course, and those little thieves were the ones who committed the most heinous crimes."
Zheng Lun couldn't help turning the corner of his mouth up, smiling and saying nothing.He was dressed in a war robe, tall and heroic, while she was dressed in a thorn hairpin cloth skirt, but she was slim and unparalleled in beauty. The two walked side by side, laughing and talking in a low voice from time to time, attracting countless envious eyes along the way.After arriving outside the city guard's mansion, Zheng Lun stopped walking, and said to Chen Nian: "I have found a mansion in Nancheng, and you will move there with your subordinates in the past two days, and return to this city after the wedding." Guardian."
The wedding will be held in the Chengshou Mansion, Chen Nian cannot live here, she nodded and said: "Okay."
The two just broke up, Zheng Lun stood at the door and watched Chen Nian turn around and enter the mansion, Fang turned and left, and after walking not far, he met old monk Huiming.When Zheng Lun was still the head of the guards beside Feng Junyang, he had seen Huiming in Shengdu, so he put his palms together and bowed to him, saying, "Master."
"General Zheng." Huiming returned the salute, looked at Zheng Lun with compassion, but said softly, "General Zheng has a demon."
Zheng Lun froze for a moment, and then his face became firm. He shook his head and said, "Master is wrong, Zheng Lun has no demons."
Huiming chanted the Buddha's name and said: "Everyone in the world is suffering, and they all have demons in their hearts. Don't be afraid, don't be confused, just look at it with a normal mind."
Zheng Lun smiled coldly, walked to Huiming's side, and said to him in a low voice: "Old monk, I am not her. I was killed from the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood. Not to mention the demons in the heart, it is true demons. I'm not afraid either. Let me advise you, don't deceive her to be a good-hearted Bodhisattva, just wait and see, if she really breaks the world, will the prince tear you down? Broken temple!"
"Amitabha!" Huiming said again, "General Zheng, Miss Xie is not destined to become a monk. General Zheng, rest assured, and please rest assured your prince."
Zheng Lun took two steps back, saluted Huiming respectfully, and strode away.
On the ninth day of the eighth lunar month, the city guard's mansion was decorated with lanterns and colorful flowers, and it was very lively in the morning.Waiting for the bride's sedan chair to arrive outside the door, the drums and music were even louder, and the firecrackers were all fired, but it was so noisy, but it still couldn't suppress the bursts of laughter from the crowd.
Because it was in the army, everything was simple at the wedding. Zheng Lun was dressed in a red wedding dress, but covered with a set of silver bright armor. He took Chen Nian, who was wearing a red silk gold wedding dress and covered his head, out of the sedan chair, and used a The concentric knot made of colored silk led her to walk slowly, and amidst the compliments of the bridesmaid, she walked step by step to the hall of the city guard's mansion.
It was customary at that time that the wedding would start after dark, and it was already night, and the city guard's mansion was brightly lit, making it even more festive.In this wedding, both the groom and the bride are not ordinary people, so there are a lot of people who come to congratulate and watch the ceremony. Although the hall is big, it is still crowded with guests, so many guests are not allowed to enter.Many of them were people from the rivers and lakes rushing to the head of Juyi Village, and they didn't pay much attention to it. Seeing that the couple couldn't see the couple even when standing on tiptoe, some people simply stepped on the fence of the veranda, or jumped onto the fence. On the tree in the courtyard, watching the excitement cheerfully.
As a result, Feng Junyang who was sitting on the opposite roof did not attract people's attention. On the contrary, some people saw that his place was good, so they couldn't help jumping up, sat down not far from him, and said with a smile: "Brother, Mr. It’s a good place to see it the most clearly.”
Feng Junyang turned a deaf ear to him and ignored him, but Shunping, who was following him, was afraid that others would see his flaws, so he hurriedly smiled at the speaker, and then moved anxiously to Feng Junyang's side, whispering in a low voice. Begging: "Master, let's go!"
Feng Junyang still ignored it, and just quietly looked at the couple walking slowly towards the hall.A bridesmaid stood in front of the hall and praised loudly, that person was obviously a master of the inner family, his voice was loud and deafening, he was able to suppress all the noisy voices of the guests, and it was clearly and loudly transmitted to every corner of the courtyard.
"One worship to heaven and earth, husband and wife join hands, forever."
The guests blocking the entrance of the hall stepped aside one after another. Zheng Lun led Chen Nian and turned around slowly. He was about to kneel down to worship the heaven and earth outside the door. When he raised his eyes and saw the man on the roof opposite, he was stunned. .
Feng Junyang pursed his lips, got up and jumped off the roof, walking towards the two of them step by step in the eyes of everyone.Chen Nian covered his head and couldn't see what was going on outside. After the noisy crowd gradually quieted down, he heard the sound of approaching footsteps, and finally stopped in front of the hall, standing there without moving for a long time.
Zheng Lun came to his senses first, bowed his hands to Feng Junyang, and asked in a deep voice, "Is the king of Yunxi here to watch the ceremony?"
Feng Junyang didn't answer, just looked at Chennian quietly, and asked her softly: "Are you really going to marry someone else?"
Chen Nian was silent for a moment, and replied through the hijab: "Yunxi Wang Yuan came to congratulate, Xie Chennian is very honored, but please move around to watch the ceremony, don't delay my auspicious time."
Feng Junyang bent his lips and smiled, and asked her softly: "Chen Nian, are you really going to marry someone else? Are you not marrying Ah Ce?"
Chen Nian didn't answer for a long time, Zheng Lun turned to look at her unconsciously, and gently tugged at the silk ribbon they were holding together, but saw two small pieces of the end she was holding wet, and his heart skipped a beat. When he tightened, he couldn't tell whether it was pain or soreness, so he had to look away, turned to look at Feng Junyang, and said, "Please step aside, King Yunxi."
After speaking, he told his confidantes around him, and said pointedly: "The king of Yunxi has been working hard from afar, please go down and settle down."
Shunping couldn't bear it any longer, rushed out from the crowd, pointed at Zheng Lun and cursed bitterly: "Zheng Lun, you wolf-hearted perfidy, I was blind before and treated you like a brother!"
Zheng Lun's guards rushed forward to capture Feng Junyang and Shunping, but suddenly a few people jumped out of the crowd, blocking Feng Junyang and Shunping, pointing at the crowd with their crossbows in hand.
Zheng Lun sneered, and said, "It turns out that the King of Yunxi came prepared, is he trying to snatch a marriage? It's just that you underestimate me, Zheng Lun!"
He threw away the ribbon in his hand, and was about to step forward, but Chen Nian stretched out his hand to hold him: "On a happy day, it's not appropriate to see blood."
She turned around again, facing Feng Junyang's direction, and said lightly: "Feng Junyang, since you and I have known each other for a while, please don't disturb my wedding. If you want to watch the ceremony, please stand at the Aside, if you don't want to, please leave, don't make my husband angry and hurt your life."
Feng Junyang looked at her quietly for a while, then suddenly smiled, and replied: "Okay, I will watch the ceremony, and I will watch you marry him."
Zheng Lun felt guilty, and was afraid that others would see his flaws, so he didn't dare to look at Feng Junyang for a moment, he just bent down and picked up the ribbon again, and said to the bridesmaid in a cold voice: "What are you waiting for? "
The bridesmaid finally came to his senses, and hurriedly shouted loudly: "One worship to heaven and earth, husband and wife join hands, forever..."
His voice was still loud, but the crowd was no longer as lively as before.
Feng Junyang stood there, watching Chen Nian slowly knelt down with Zheng Lun. The moment her knee touched the ground, his chest seemed to be pierced by a sharp sword. The heart passed by, then slowly stirred, and then slowly withdrawn.It hurts, it hurts, but even though it hurts like this, he doesn't even dare to blink his eyes, for fear that if he blinks, his eyes will be covered with tears, and he won't be able to see her clearly, her fiery red wedding dress, and that Embroidered hijab with dragon and phoenix in harmony.
This wedding was originally supposed to be his, it was supposed to be between Ah Ce and Chen Nian.
She once huddled in his arms and asked him shyly: "A Ce, when my adoptive father comes back, we will get married, okay?"
How did he answer her?
He said, "Okay."
She also opened her teary eyes and asked him word by word: "Will you marry Yunsheng in the future?"
How did he answer?
He said, "Yes."
She also asked him: "You want me to marry you in the name of Yunsheng, don't you?"
He replied: "As long as we can be together, why bother about what status you are marrying me."
The name Xie Chennian was useless. Feng Junyang would never be able to marry a woman who was born in a bandit den. This was something he knew a long time ago. Until this moment, she married another man with this name.She used this wedding to tell him clearly that from now on, Xie Chennian would no longer be Ah Ce's Chennian.
The little bandit in Flying Dragon Xing with a round face and bulging cheeks staring at him, the stubborn girl who was willing to stand in front of him and fight wild wolves desperately, dragging him over mountains and mountains, that kiss who didn't even know to close her eyes The silly girl, the Chen Nian who boldly leaned down to kiss him, the Chen Nian who shyly said "A Ce, I like you so much", the Chen Nian who was coaxed by him and said "You can't beat me" , that Xie Chennian who was willing to sacrifice his life to heal his wounds, who was obviously in unbearable pain but still grinning at him...
From then on, she was no longer Ah Ce's birthday.Xie Chennian failed to marry Ah Ce, she would be someone else's wife.
On the ninth day of August in the first year of Xinwu, Zheng Lun, the lord of Qingzhou, married Xie Chennian, the lord of Juyi Village, in Yiping City. Worship the newcomer to heaven and earth.Zheng Lun wanted to capture and kill Feng Junyang, but he didn't want Feng Junyang to be prepared. Under the protection of a top expert, not only was he not caught by Zheng Lun, but he even set fire to the new house in the city guard's mansion, causing him to lose his bridal chamber. night of.
When He Ze got the news in Wu'an, he couldn't help laughing, and said, "This Feng Junyang is really ridiculous. Could it be that the new house was burned down, so the two of them can't bridal chamber?"
The confidants beside him also laughed twice, and said: "Maybe it's also for venting anger."
He Ze slowly stopped laughing, and after a pause, he said to himself again: "I never imagined that Zheng Lun would betray Feng Junyang for Xie Chennian."
This confidant once went to Yiping in person, heard the words and thought about it, and said: "My lord, you haven't seen it, then Xie Chennian is really stunning, unparalleled in beauty, I really fell in love with Zheng Lun like that."
He Ze smiled and said: "That's just right, I want to see what kind of fight this beauty can make their master and servant fight!"
(End of this chapter)
In November of the fourth year of Yongning, the news that Zheng Lun had killed Xue Shengying and occupied Qingzhou for self-reliance spread to Shengdu.Feng Junyang angrily reprimanded Zheng Lun, saying that such an unfaithful and unrighteous person can be punished by everyone in the world, and asked the court to fight, willing to personally lead the army to attack Zheng Lun.
In February of the first year of Xinwu, Zheng Lun abandoned Feng Junyang's in-laws, the He family, and formed an alliance with the Jingyang Zhang family to fight against the He family.Just when everyone thought that Zheng Lun and Zhang Huaimin would join forces to attack He Ze, in May, Zheng Lun quietly led his troops south along the western foot of Taihang Mountain, pointing directly at Yiping.
At the same time, Juyi Village, the largest village in the Taihang Mountains, also united with the other major villages in the South Taihang Mountains, sent troops out of Taihang, and merged with Zheng Lun's army. Captured Yiping.
He Zeren was still in Wu'an, and after receiving the military report, he sat silently for a while, then looked up at his confidant and staff, and asked, "Do you want to take Yiping back?"
The staff member had to think about it, but said: "It depends on whether Zheng Lun and Feng Junyang have really broken up. If there is a real breakup, it doesn't matter if Zheng Lun occupies Yiping first. But if the two of them are just acting, he will win the favor." Ping, that is to seize for Feng Junyang, we must not allow him to occupy Yiping, otherwise, Feng Junyang will have a way to go north."
He Ze sneered softly, and said, "People can't predict whether Zheng Lun is still loyal to Feng Junyang now, let alone us, even Feng Junyang himself is not sure."
In Yiping City, Chen Nian stood alone on the highest point of the South Tower and looked south silently, it had already been half a day.It wasn't until it was getting dark that she came back to her senses, she heard footsteps on the stairs behind her, and she thought it was a fool who came to find her to go back to eat, so she shouted: "No need to come up, I'll go down right now. "
The footsteps stopped for a while, and then continued to come up.Chen Nian was a little surprised, turned around to look, but saw Zheng Lun coming up from the stairs.She smiled unconsciously, and explained: "I still think it's an idiot to come over and ask me to eat."
Zheng Lun said lightly: "He wants to come over, and I just want to come up to inspect, so I asked me to help him bring this to you."
Chen Nian laughed, and sighed: "This lazy man!"
Zheng Lun glanced at her, walked to the window and looked out, and asked casually, "Have you been up there for a long time? What are you looking at?"
Chen Nian also turned around, turned his eyes to the outside of the city again, and replied with a smile: "I didn't look at anything, I just watched and played. I didn't expect to capture Yiping City so easily. I always feel a little unbelievable. You don't know The day I told Cui Xi that we wanted to seize Yiping, he was so surprised, who would have thought that I would stand on the tower of Yiping City in less than a year."
"Cui Xi?" Zheng Lun was a little surprised. He cooperated with Chen Nian to attack the city. He already knew several people who were registered in Juyi Village, but he had never seen this Cui Xi.
Chen Nian lowered his head slowly, and replied softly: "He was originally the second head of Juyi Village, the military advisor in the village, and he trained my soldiers. He is also the youngest son of Yang Cheng's waifu. , was chased by Xue Shengying to the mountains, and rescued by Wen Daya and the others."
Zheng Lun frowned upon hearing this, and said: "How can you put such a person by your side? Yang Cheng died at the hands of the prince, he and the prince have a sworn hatred."
There was a trace of bitterness on Chen Nian's lips, he nodded and said: "Yes, he had a grudge against Feng Junyang, so he revealed my whereabouts to He Ze. The brothers in the village all said that he was ungrateful and repayed his kindness with revenge. What kind of revenge is it? He just wants to avenge the killing of his father. When Feng Junyang plotted against Yang Cheng, I was by Feng Junyang's side and discussed with him how to be safe. Cui Xi sought revenge from me, But it's true."
Zheng Lun pursed his lips and remained silent. After a while, he asked Chen Nian again, "Where is Cui Xi now? Can you kill him?"
"No." Chen Young smiled and shook his head, "I locked him up after I returned to the village, how can I kill him? He also has a younger sister, who is only four or five years old this year. What will Maoer do if Cui Xi is killed? Do you want to cut grass and roots together? Or lie to her that my brother was killed by someone else, so that she will continue to treat me as a benefactor?"
"The benevolence of a woman!" Zheng Lun couldn't help but said, then changed the subject, and asked Chen Nian, "I can't stay here for long, I have to return to Qingzhou as soon as possible, leaving you with [-] troops, may you guard Yiping? "
"Twenty thousand?" Chen Nian raised his eyebrows, shook his head with a smile, "It doesn't need that much, you just leave me three thousand elite soldiers, I still have a few thousand village soldiers, it's enough to keep Yiping. "
Zheng Lun didn't want her to push her so hard, so he couldn't help but glance at her, and said: "The thing that the He family is most afraid of is not the Zhang family, nor me, but the prince. The prince is already dispatching troops to the north. He Ze wants to prevent the prince from Going north via Yiping and occupying Qingzhou and Jizhou, it is very likely that the troops will be divided into two groups, one to attack Qingzhou and the other to capture Yiping. No matter which of these two places is captured, the prince can be stopped. Qingzhou is still there It's more dangerous, I don't need too many soldiers to defend it, but it may be more difficult for you."
Chen Nian smiled and said, "Your speculation is based on He Ze's disbelief that you are really self-reliant, that's why you acted like that. If you really broke with Feng Junyang, he might ignore it first." You, concentrate on beating Zhang Huaimin, and only after the Zhang family is destroyed, will you turn around and deal with you again."
Zheng Lun heard something in her words, and asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean?"
"It's very simple. When you really break up with Feng Junyang, not only will He Ze not come to fight Yiping, but I'm afraid Feng Junyang will hurry to send troops here so that he can watch your master and servant fight."
Zheng Lun misunderstood that Chen Nian was here to persuade him to betray Feng Junyang, his face darkened, and he said, "I said before, I will not betray the lord."
"I don't want you to betray him, otherwise Jiangbei will fight for another two years, and the people who suffer are the common people." Chen Nian smiled, turned his head to look outside the city, and after a while, suddenly Ask him, "Zheng Lun, are you married in Yunxi?"
Zheng Lun didn't expect that she would ask this suddenly, so he frowned and said coldly, "I haven't married a wife yet."
Chen Nian nodded slowly, and asked again: "Do you have someone in mind?"
Zheng Lun didn't know why she asked this, felt a little strange, and didn't know how to answer, so he just pursed his lips and remained silent.He was so silent, but Chen Nian misunderstood him, thinking that Zheng Lun could not love Yun Sheng, so he smiled apologetically at him and said, "I'm sorry, I asked about your sadness. It's just that Yunsheng is your prince's fiancée, no matter how much you fall in love with her, I'm afraid you won't be able to get what you want."
"Stop talking nonsense!" Zheng Lun suddenly became a little annoyed, and felt disturbed in his heart. He didn't want to stay here with Chen Nian any longer, so he turned around and walked towards the stairs.
However, Chen Nian stepped forward to stop him, raised his head slightly to look at him, and said in a deep voice, "Zheng Lun, you should marry me."
These words hit Zheng Lun's heart like a heavy hammer, causing him to suffocate. After a while, he regained his composure and said, "Miss Xie, are you crazy?"
He didn't want to pay attention to her any more, and walked around her to go downstairs.
However, Chen Nian stopped him several times and only asked him: "Are you afraid that Feng Junyang won't tolerate you in the future and will kill you again?"
Seeing that he couldn't get around her, Zheng Lun simply stopped, looked at her coldly, and said, "Miss Xie, Zheng Lun is never afraid of death."
"Then what are you afraid of?" Chen Nian stared at him and asked, "Everyone knows that I am Feng Junyang's confinement, as long as you marry me, no one will doubt whether you really broke with Feng Junyang, Feng Junyang No matter how many troops Yang transfers to the north, people will only think he is coming to you. Moreover," Chen Nian suddenly smiled, "Once I marry you, even if we are in name only, Feng Junyang will feel that If you have a grudge, I can no longer threaten your Miss Yunsheng."
Zheng Lun suppressed the anger in his heart, and asked in a cold voice: "Miss Xie, what are you planning?"
"What am I planning?" Chen Nian slightly frowned, and replied, "I only want to save people from dying in Yiping City, that's enough."
Zheng Lun's eyes were extremely complicated, and there seemed to be inexplicable emotions in it. He looked at Chen Nian for a long time, and then asked: "Do you know that he loves you deeply?"
Chen Nian lowered his eyes slightly.
Zheng Lun asked again: "Do you know that once you marry me, you will not be able to marry him again? Even if he takes over the world in the future, he can't take the wives of his officials while I'm alive, and he can't take widows into my house even after I'm dead." palace."
Chennian raised his eyes to look at him, but after a while he smiled, and said: "General Zheng, you are really strange. Whether Xie Chennian marries Feng Junyang, what does it have to do with you? If you are afraid of death, just say so , don’t make these excuses.”
Zheng Lun stared at her, and said slowly: "Miss Xie, I, Zheng Lun, have put life and death at risk since the day Qingzhou raised troops. Even if I don't marry you, he may not be able to tolerate me in the future, but Even if I marry you, he may not be able to kill me. But, have you really thought about it? Do you really don't want to be with him anymore? "
The corners of Chen Nian's mouth slowly flattened, but suddenly raised again, and he said half-truthfully, "General Zheng, you are an honest man. Just think about it yourself, when your prince wins the world in the future, the queen will naturally be Your Miss Yunsheng, I am a concubine after breaking the sky. But can a concubine be born in a bandit village? So your prince must clean me up and become the daughter of some minister Therefore, whether Xie Chennian marries Zheng Lun or not, he can’t marry Feng Junyang. The one who will marry him can only be a lady from a famous family. My strategy seems to be gambling on Xie Chennian’s reputation and your life, but Xie Chennian’s Fame is useless, after all, you are the only one who is cheated."
Zheng Lun frowned when she heard that, and asked her, "Do you want to change your identity to be with him?"
"Not necessarily, it all depends on whether he is willing to believe my innocence." Chen Nian withdrew his smile and said seriously, "Zheng Lun, this is just a gamble, for the sake of deceiving He Ze, for the sake of saving money. Kill innocent people, the two of us go to gamble with Feng Junyang, I gamble on his trust in me, but you gamble on his tolerance."
Zheng Lun pursed his lips and remained silent for a while.
Chen Nian took two steps back, stood at the top of the stairs, and said to him: "This matter cannot be forced, and it involves your life and death. You still need to make a decision yourself. I hope you can give me an answer before you leave. .”
After she finished speaking, she stopped persuading her and turned around and went downstairs.As soon as he got down from the city wall, Sha Da came over and asked in a harsh voice, "Master, do you want to go back to eat?"
Chen Nian nodded, but he didn't get on his horse either. He just led his horse and walked slowly towards the Chengshou Mansion. On the way, he met Chaoyangzi coming out of the barracks with a medical box on his back. "Daozhang, what happened to those wounded soldiers?"
Chaoyangzi has been busy saving people for the past few days, his eyes were red from the heat, and he said: "All those who can be saved are saved, and those who cannot be saved can only be given a happy ending." He couldn't help but stop and turned his head Looking at Chen Nian, he asked a little excitedly, "Do you have to fight for it like this? That's right, they are humble, they don't recognize a single character, they only know how to eat from the ground, and they spend their whole lives facing the loess and their backs to the sky, but they They are also raised by their fathers and mothers, and they also have arms and legs, they are also living people!"
Chen Nian remained silent, only bowed his head and walked slowly.After Chaoyangzi lost his temper, seeing her like this, he felt a little regretful, thought for a while, and said in a low voice: "I'm not against you, I'm just angry that those aristocratic families want to win the world, regardless of the life and death of the people, and take countless money. Human life is used to fill one's own ambitions."
Chen Nian raised his head and grinned at him, and said: "Master Dao, I know you feel uncomfortable. It's just that the general trend of the world is chaos and chaos, and neither of you and I can change the way of heaven. Since the world is already in chaos, we can do it." The purpose is to protect the lives of some common people and look forward to the arrival of great rule.”
Chaoyangzi was full of helpless resentment, but there was nowhere to arouse it, so he could only let out a long sigh.
A few people returned to the city guard's mansion, but they saw Wen Daya standing at the bottom of the steps with his hands behind his back, looking up at the door plaque in a daze.Chen Nian threw the rein in his hand to Sha Da, stepped forward and asked, "What is Brother Wen looking at?"
Wen Daya turned around to look at Chen Nian, still in disbelief and asked her: "We're going to take Yiping City now?"
Chen Nian nodded with a smile: "That's right."
Wen Daya asked again: "Then how will we make a living in the future? Where can we do business here?"
Chen Nian didn't think that this was what he was worried about, so he couldn't help laughing, stretched out his hand and patted Wen Daya's shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Brother Wen, it's no different in the city than you are in the mountains. You used to go down the mountain to do business. Now you have to guard this Yiping City to do business. No matter who lives or walks here, they have to give you some money."
Wen Daya was puzzled: "What kind of business is this?"
Chen Nian suppressed a smile and replied, "This is called tax collection."
Chaoyangzi laughed out loud when he heard this, and took the lead to enter the door with the medical box on his back. Chen Nian patted Wen Daya, who was a little dazed, and said with a smile, "Hurry up and go back, we haven't eaten yet."
The food in the mansion has already been prepared, although it is rough, but Chen Nian and others are not fastidious people, but they eat with relish.Everyone was eating around the table, but Zheng Lun strode in from the outside, stood in front of the table, looked at Chen Nian, and said in a deep voice, "Miss Xie, I will marry you."
Before he finished speaking, a chopstick in Wen Daya's hand fell to the ground first.
Chen Nian looked up at Zheng Lun, and replied calmly: "Okay, you take Yiping as the employment, and I will marry you."
As soon as these words came out, another chopstick in Wen Daya's hand fell to the ground.Zheng Lun didn't say any more, turned around and strode away.Everyone in the room was stunned and sat there in a daze, but Wen Daya was the first to come back to his senses, looked at Chen Nian again, and said in surprise: "The master?"
Chen Nian raised his eyebrows to look at him and asked, "What's the matter?"
Wen Daya pointed to the direction where Zheng Lun left, and asked Chen Nian in disbelief, "You want to marry him?"
Chen Nian nodded, and replied: "He is not married, and I am not married. Wouldn't it be nice for the two to get together?"
Lingque suddenly stood up from the table and asked impulsively, "What about Brother Lu? What will Brother Lu do if you marry General Zheng?"
As soon as these words were uttered, the room was silent again. Seeing his daughter's impulsiveness, Lu Rongfeng quickly stretched out his hand to pull her to sit down. Unexpectedly, Ling Que shook off his father's hand vigorously, and only stared at Chen Nian again and asked. : "He went to take what you need, but you want to marry someone else here. When he comes back later, do you still have the face to see him?"
"Spirit sparrow!" Lu Rongfeng scolded angrily, got up and raised his hand to slap his daughter in the face.
Chen Nian's fingers moved slightly, and the chopsticks at the end of that finger shot out, hitting Lu Rongfeng's wrist and opening his hand.Chen Nian looked at Ling Que calmly, and asked: "Ling Que, you counted the number of dead and injured in the village. Tell me, how many people did we die when we captured Yiping this time?"
Lingque paused for a moment, then replied with a sullen face, "One thousand three hundred and fifty people have died."
Chen Nian asked again, "Do you know how many casualties there were in General Zheng's army?"
"They were more numerous than us, and they were the main force in attacking the city, so they died more."
"Do you know how many soldiers guarding the city of Yiping died?"
Sparrow turned her head away, bit her lip and did not answer.
Chen Nian just looked at her quietly, with a calm and restrained voice: "How many of them have parents? How many of them have beautiful wives and young children? I have the face to go See, why don't I have the face to see Lu Xiao?"
Lingque couldn't answer, and stood there for a while, but suddenly covered her mouth and cried out, and ran out by herself.
Chen Nian only glanced at it indifferently, and told Wen Da Ya: "Follow her and have a look, don't cause any trouble to her."
In July of the first year of Xinwu, Zheng Lun, the new lord of Qingzhou, used Yiping City as an offer to marry Xie Chennian, the female lord of Juyi Village in Taihang.When the news came out, the whole world was in an uproar.
In the Grand General's Mansion in Shengdu, Feng Junyang locked himself in the study for a whole day and night without any movement.In desperation, Shunping had no choice but to force his way in, knelt in front of Feng Junyang's couch, kowtowed and cried: "Master, you should think more about the good. Miss Xie did this, Xu De was deliberately angry with you, but she Doesn't it mean that I still have you in my heart."
Feng Junyang heard the words, but there was a wry smile on his lips, and he said softly: "She is not just trying to get angry with me, she is thinking of sacrificing her life for righteousness, just like that year in Feilongxing, when the Jizhou army arrested me. When her partner left, she knew she would die if she went away, so she left me to chase after her."
"This promise is retribution." His eyes were a little empty, and he looked at the roof silently. "In my heart, Jiangshan is more important than her, so in her heart, righteousness is far more important than me."
He was lost in thought for a long time, and then he softly told Shunping: "Prepare for the ceremony, I'm going to watch the ceremony."
Because Zheng Lun was going to return to Qingzhou with his troops, the wedding was scheduled for the ninth day of August. Although the time was a bit rushed, it was just during the war, both men and women didn't care, and no one else objected. Preparations for the wedding.
A few days later, Jing Yuxuan followed the victims of Juyi Village to Yiping City. Hearing that his apprentice was going to marry Zheng Lun, he actually found him in the army and had a fight with Zheng Lun. The trick still didn't go downhill, so he stopped and said: "Okay, just you kid!"
Chennian, Chaoyangzi and others rushed over after hearing the news, they couldn't laugh or cry, Chaoyangzi pulled Jing Yuxuan aside to train, Chennian smiled apologetically at Zheng Lun, and said, "I'm sorry, my master is With this temper, she has no malice."
"Nothing." Zheng Lun said, then turned around and walked towards Jingyuxuan, bowed solemnly to him, "Thank you senior for teaching Zheng Lun kung fu."
Jing Yuxuan was already impatient with Chaoyangzi's reading, and seeing Zheng Lun coming to pay respects, she pointed at him and Chaoyangzi and said, "Look, he's fine, why are you still talking to me? "
Chaoyangzi had no choice but to drag her away.Chen Nian smiled, said goodbye to Zheng Lun, and wanted to leave too.Unexpectedly, Zheng Lun followed behind and said, "I'll take you back."
Chen Nian tilted his head and smiled at him, and said: "No need, you are busy with your work, I can go by myself, the sky is sunny, and it is in the city, there will be no danger."
Zheng Lun didn't look at her, but said in a low voice: "There are spies everywhere in the city. If you want to play, don't show your feet."
Chen Nian understood what he meant, nodded lightly, and after leaving the barracks, he moved closer to Zheng Lun, walked slowly side by side with him, and chatted casually, "Have you ever been to Yiping before?"
Zheng Lun unconsciously turned to the side, and then said: "Come here."
Chen Nian was still waiting for his next words, but he didn't want to but fell silent again. In desperation, she could only take the words by herself, and said with a smile: "I've been here before, but it's too early, and I still want to talk to you." The partners from Qingfeng Village sneaked here together, and the two of them saved a few taels of silver in total, but they carried it like a mountain of gold in their arms. Hate to buy it."
Zheng Lun was fascinated by this, and asked in a low voice, "What happened next?"
"Later?" Chen Nian couldn't help chuckling, the corners of his mouth curled up, he turned his head to look at Zheng Lun, and spread his hands, "Later, the silver was stolen by a thief. My partner and I were so angry and distressed that we stood on the street and hopped and cursed. That little thief scolded him for half a day for being so dishonest that he stole all the money, and we robbers still know how to leave people with travel expenses!"
She spoke so vividly that even Zheng Lun couldn't help laughing, but after the smile, he immediately suppressed the smile, and the corners of his mouth pulled down slightly.Chen Nian didn't notice, and continued to say: "Fortunately, my partner bought a silver hairpin for the girl he likes before, and it's not in vain. It's just that he wanted to give me one, but he didn't want the money, but he was taken away by the little girl." The thief stole it, so don't give it to me, but I feel sorry for it, and finally..."
As she was talking, she suddenly felt that her throat was choked, and she couldn't continue. After a pause, she smiled again and said: "It took a few big bucks to buy a wooden hairpin to deal with me, and I was so angry that I chased after you." He ran half a mountain and scolded that little thief who stole people's silver for a long time."
The corners of Zheng Lun's mouth couldn't stay tight, so he could only loosen it slowly, and said, "Miss Xie, bandits are not much better than little thieves."
Chen Nian smiled, nodded and said: "Yes, but at that time we just thought that being bandits was a matter of course, and those little thieves were the ones who committed the most heinous crimes."
Zheng Lun couldn't help turning the corner of his mouth up, smiling and saying nothing.He was dressed in a war robe, tall and heroic, while she was dressed in a thorn hairpin cloth skirt, but she was slim and unparalleled in beauty. The two walked side by side, laughing and talking in a low voice from time to time, attracting countless envious eyes along the way.After arriving outside the city guard's mansion, Zheng Lun stopped walking, and said to Chen Nian: "I have found a mansion in Nancheng, and you will move there with your subordinates in the past two days, and return to this city after the wedding." Guardian."
The wedding will be held in the Chengshou Mansion, Chen Nian cannot live here, she nodded and said: "Okay."
The two just broke up, Zheng Lun stood at the door and watched Chen Nian turn around and enter the mansion, Fang turned and left, and after walking not far, he met old monk Huiming.When Zheng Lun was still the head of the guards beside Feng Junyang, he had seen Huiming in Shengdu, so he put his palms together and bowed to him, saying, "Master."
"General Zheng." Huiming returned the salute, looked at Zheng Lun with compassion, but said softly, "General Zheng has a demon."
Zheng Lun froze for a moment, and then his face became firm. He shook his head and said, "Master is wrong, Zheng Lun has no demons."
Huiming chanted the Buddha's name and said: "Everyone in the world is suffering, and they all have demons in their hearts. Don't be afraid, don't be confused, just look at it with a normal mind."
Zheng Lun smiled coldly, walked to Huiming's side, and said to him in a low voice: "Old monk, I am not her. I was killed from the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood. Not to mention the demons in the heart, it is true demons. I'm not afraid either. Let me advise you, don't deceive her to be a good-hearted Bodhisattva, just wait and see, if she really breaks the world, will the prince tear you down? Broken temple!"
"Amitabha!" Huiming said again, "General Zheng, Miss Xie is not destined to become a monk. General Zheng, rest assured, and please rest assured your prince."
Zheng Lun took two steps back, saluted Huiming respectfully, and strode away.
On the ninth day of the eighth lunar month, the city guard's mansion was decorated with lanterns and colorful flowers, and it was very lively in the morning.Waiting for the bride's sedan chair to arrive outside the door, the drums and music were even louder, and the firecrackers were all fired, but it was so noisy, but it still couldn't suppress the bursts of laughter from the crowd.
Because it was in the army, everything was simple at the wedding. Zheng Lun was dressed in a red wedding dress, but covered with a set of silver bright armor. He took Chen Nian, who was wearing a red silk gold wedding dress and covered his head, out of the sedan chair, and used a The concentric knot made of colored silk led her to walk slowly, and amidst the compliments of the bridesmaid, she walked step by step to the hall of the city guard's mansion.
It was customary at that time that the wedding would start after dark, and it was already night, and the city guard's mansion was brightly lit, making it even more festive.In this wedding, both the groom and the bride are not ordinary people, so there are a lot of people who come to congratulate and watch the ceremony. Although the hall is big, it is still crowded with guests, so many guests are not allowed to enter.Many of them were people from the rivers and lakes rushing to the head of Juyi Village, and they didn't pay much attention to it. Seeing that the couple couldn't see the couple even when standing on tiptoe, some people simply stepped on the fence of the veranda, or jumped onto the fence. On the tree in the courtyard, watching the excitement cheerfully.
As a result, Feng Junyang who was sitting on the opposite roof did not attract people's attention. On the contrary, some people saw that his place was good, so they couldn't help jumping up, sat down not far from him, and said with a smile: "Brother, Mr. It’s a good place to see it the most clearly.”
Feng Junyang turned a deaf ear to him and ignored him, but Shunping, who was following him, was afraid that others would see his flaws, so he hurriedly smiled at the speaker, and then moved anxiously to Feng Junyang's side, whispering in a low voice. Begging: "Master, let's go!"
Feng Junyang still ignored it, and just quietly looked at the couple walking slowly towards the hall.A bridesmaid stood in front of the hall and praised loudly, that person was obviously a master of the inner family, his voice was loud and deafening, he was able to suppress all the noisy voices of the guests, and it was clearly and loudly transmitted to every corner of the courtyard.
"One worship to heaven and earth, husband and wife join hands, forever."
The guests blocking the entrance of the hall stepped aside one after another. Zheng Lun led Chen Nian and turned around slowly. He was about to kneel down to worship the heaven and earth outside the door. When he raised his eyes and saw the man on the roof opposite, he was stunned. .
Feng Junyang pursed his lips, got up and jumped off the roof, walking towards the two of them step by step in the eyes of everyone.Chen Nian covered his head and couldn't see what was going on outside. After the noisy crowd gradually quieted down, he heard the sound of approaching footsteps, and finally stopped in front of the hall, standing there without moving for a long time.
Zheng Lun came to his senses first, bowed his hands to Feng Junyang, and asked in a deep voice, "Is the king of Yunxi here to watch the ceremony?"
Feng Junyang didn't answer, just looked at Chennian quietly, and asked her softly: "Are you really going to marry someone else?"
Chen Nian was silent for a moment, and replied through the hijab: "Yunxi Wang Yuan came to congratulate, Xie Chennian is very honored, but please move around to watch the ceremony, don't delay my auspicious time."
Feng Junyang bent his lips and smiled, and asked her softly: "Chen Nian, are you really going to marry someone else? Are you not marrying Ah Ce?"
Chen Nian didn't answer for a long time, Zheng Lun turned to look at her unconsciously, and gently tugged at the silk ribbon they were holding together, but saw two small pieces of the end she was holding wet, and his heart skipped a beat. When he tightened, he couldn't tell whether it was pain or soreness, so he had to look away, turned to look at Feng Junyang, and said, "Please step aside, King Yunxi."
After speaking, he told his confidantes around him, and said pointedly: "The king of Yunxi has been working hard from afar, please go down and settle down."
Shunping couldn't bear it any longer, rushed out from the crowd, pointed at Zheng Lun and cursed bitterly: "Zheng Lun, you wolf-hearted perfidy, I was blind before and treated you like a brother!"
Zheng Lun's guards rushed forward to capture Feng Junyang and Shunping, but suddenly a few people jumped out of the crowd, blocking Feng Junyang and Shunping, pointing at the crowd with their crossbows in hand.
Zheng Lun sneered, and said, "It turns out that the King of Yunxi came prepared, is he trying to snatch a marriage? It's just that you underestimate me, Zheng Lun!"
He threw away the ribbon in his hand, and was about to step forward, but Chen Nian stretched out his hand to hold him: "On a happy day, it's not appropriate to see blood."
She turned around again, facing Feng Junyang's direction, and said lightly: "Feng Junyang, since you and I have known each other for a while, please don't disturb my wedding. If you want to watch the ceremony, please stand at the Aside, if you don't want to, please leave, don't make my husband angry and hurt your life."
Feng Junyang looked at her quietly for a while, then suddenly smiled, and replied: "Okay, I will watch the ceremony, and I will watch you marry him."
Zheng Lun felt guilty, and was afraid that others would see his flaws, so he didn't dare to look at Feng Junyang for a moment, he just bent down and picked up the ribbon again, and said to the bridesmaid in a cold voice: "What are you waiting for? "
The bridesmaid finally came to his senses, and hurriedly shouted loudly: "One worship to heaven and earth, husband and wife join hands, forever..."
His voice was still loud, but the crowd was no longer as lively as before.
Feng Junyang stood there, watching Chen Nian slowly knelt down with Zheng Lun. The moment her knee touched the ground, his chest seemed to be pierced by a sharp sword. The heart passed by, then slowly stirred, and then slowly withdrawn.It hurts, it hurts, but even though it hurts like this, he doesn't even dare to blink his eyes, for fear that if he blinks, his eyes will be covered with tears, and he won't be able to see her clearly, her fiery red wedding dress, and that Embroidered hijab with dragon and phoenix in harmony.
This wedding was originally supposed to be his, it was supposed to be between Ah Ce and Chen Nian.
She once huddled in his arms and asked him shyly: "A Ce, when my adoptive father comes back, we will get married, okay?"
How did he answer her?
He said, "Okay."
She also opened her teary eyes and asked him word by word: "Will you marry Yunsheng in the future?"
How did he answer?
He said, "Yes."
She also asked him: "You want me to marry you in the name of Yunsheng, don't you?"
He replied: "As long as we can be together, why bother about what status you are marrying me."
The name Xie Chennian was useless. Feng Junyang would never be able to marry a woman who was born in a bandit den. This was something he knew a long time ago. Until this moment, she married another man with this name.She used this wedding to tell him clearly that from now on, Xie Chennian would no longer be Ah Ce's Chennian.
The little bandit in Flying Dragon Xing with a round face and bulging cheeks staring at him, the stubborn girl who was willing to stand in front of him and fight wild wolves desperately, dragging him over mountains and mountains, that kiss who didn't even know to close her eyes The silly girl, the Chen Nian who boldly leaned down to kiss him, the Chen Nian who shyly said "A Ce, I like you so much", the Chen Nian who was coaxed by him and said "You can't beat me" , that Xie Chennian who was willing to sacrifice his life to heal his wounds, who was obviously in unbearable pain but still grinning at him...
From then on, she was no longer Ah Ce's birthday.Xie Chennian failed to marry Ah Ce, she would be someone else's wife.
On the ninth day of August in the first year of Xinwu, Zheng Lun, the lord of Qingzhou, married Xie Chennian, the lord of Juyi Village, in Yiping City. Worship the newcomer to heaven and earth.Zheng Lun wanted to capture and kill Feng Junyang, but he didn't want Feng Junyang to be prepared. Under the protection of a top expert, not only was he not caught by Zheng Lun, but he even set fire to the new house in the city guard's mansion, causing him to lose his bridal chamber. night of.
When He Ze got the news in Wu'an, he couldn't help laughing, and said, "This Feng Junyang is really ridiculous. Could it be that the new house was burned down, so the two of them can't bridal chamber?"
The confidants beside him also laughed twice, and said: "Maybe it's also for venting anger."
He Ze slowly stopped laughing, and after a pause, he said to himself again: "I never imagined that Zheng Lun would betray Feng Junyang for Xie Chennian."
This confidant once went to Yiping in person, heard the words and thought about it, and said: "My lord, you haven't seen it, then Xie Chennian is really stunning, unparalleled in beauty, I really fell in love with Zheng Lun like that."
He Ze smiled and said: "That's just right, I want to see what kind of fight this beauty can make their master and servant fight!"
