Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 363 This Story Is So Nice

The stories of the birth of two snakes, the encounter on the broken bridge, the robbery of Emei, the flooding of the golden mountains, and the escape of Fahai are told. This kind of story that can be passed down through the ages is vivid and touching, and it has been verified by countless people. For a time, Yu Qingyan, Princess Yongqing and Qian Zhiyin listened with gusto, and Yu Qingyan and Qian Zhiyin were even more fascinated.

When Princess Yongqing heard the ending of Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen's husband and wife reunion, they ascended to the fairyland together, she smiled and said: "This story is really nice."

She picked up a crab and said triumphantly: "That Qingqing girl took the samadhi and burned Fahai on fire, hahahaha...Fahai was chased to the sky and had nowhere to go, so he hid in this crab shell? Ben Princess, check to see if there is the monk head you mentioned."

Ye Chen felt strange, wondering if people at this time hadn't discovered the monk-like pattern in the crab shell?He hurriedly picked up a crab, peeled off the crab's stomach, and found a trace that looked like a meditating monk, both in form and spirit, wonderful and beautiful.

Ye Chen showed it to the three with a smile, and said, "Look, that Fahai has been hiding on the crab for a long time, just like Bodhidharma's nine years of facing the wall, leaving this mark. Can you see if he is a monk?"

Master Yongqing rushed to take it and looked at the light.He couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise: "Sure enough, there is a monk, indeed, there is a monk, Ye Chen! So this is not a story, it must have happened before."

Both Qian Zhiyin and Yu Qingyan were amazed and opened a crab to watch. They were amazed. Qian Zhiyin also said happily: "There is such a miracle in the world. There is a monk among the crabs. I have eaten crabs since I was a child. How come you haven’t noticed it for so many years? Hahahaha...It’s really interesting. I’m a native of Hangzhou, and I’ve never heard of this. When Brother Ye’s story spreads in the future, it will definitely be a sensation, and even in the We in Hangzhou have passed it down from generation to generation.”

Ye Chen was stunned when he heard this. It took several generations of this story to be enriched and perfected, and some ghosts and anecdotes were added to it before it became the version of later generations. He said it quickly, but it seemed that this myth and ghost story was about to be published in advance.

Yu Qingyan heard this story for the first time, and she was also intoxicated by the love story of the white snake Xu Xian for a while. She sighed with emotion, and looked at Ye Chen's handsome appearance quietly through the rock under the light shadow, and just thought in her heart: "The white snake is grateful for the woodcutter." The kindness of my husband who saved my life, dared to incarnate into a man and marry him as my wife, I... I was also saved by him, but he is now a prince, and I am afraid that I am not even as good as that white snake goblin, if I count, I can only be regarded as the green snake maidservant , marrying for someone else, I'm so busy, I'm afraid I still can't achieve the right result."

Thinking of this, Yu Qingyan took a deep breath to herself: "Pfft! I was thinking about something, the Green Snake never thought of her sister's family."

Seeing that no one noticed her expression, she couldn't help but wondered in her heart: "The Green Snake has no regrets and no regrets, is it really just out of sisterhood? Has she...has she ever liked that Young Master Xu Xian? If She confessed her affection to Xu Xian, and Miss White Snake is her brother and brother, will Xu Xian... Will he marry her too?"

The night was late, the wind was strong, and the water surface of Taihu Lake stirred up white waves, beating the small fishing boat wave after wave, and Yu Qingyan's thoughts were also rippling like a boat in the waves.

The moonlight is like a practice, the light waves beat the shore, the autumn wind is coming, and the eyes are hazy.Yu Qingyan is drunk even without alcohol.

On the evening of the second day, when I was about to arrive in Hangzhou, I only heard horns coming from the direction of Hangzhou. Qian Zhiyin immediately said to Ye Chen, "It's my father who came to welcome Princess Luanjia and Brother Ye."

After two days, from the first imperial envoy, to Yehou later, and now Brother Ye, from the changes in these three titles, it can be seen that the relationship between Qian Zhiyin and Ye Chen has developed rapidly.Ye Chen has always been a soft-hearted person, after confirming that Qian Zhiyin's attitude towards him was from the heart, not just putting on airs, he also recognized the close relationship between Qian Zhiyin and him to a certain extent. .

However, Ye Chen didn't expect that he would condescend to greet him in person as the lord of Wuyue, and he was really surprised.He hurriedly led his horses forward, and saw groups of soldiers with bright armor riding tall horses.They galloped to the front, dismounted together, and lined up on both sides.Amidst the sound of silk and bamboo, hundreds of young boys in red robes were holding banners and fences, leading a middle-aged man in royal clothes forward.A salute officer shouted loudly: "Qian Hongchu, king of Wuyue, please see His Royal Highness Princess Yongqing, and please see the Imperial Envoy of Shang Kingdom."

Ye Chen carefully looked at Qian Hongchu, and saw that he was nearly half a hundred years old, but he didn't look old at all. At first glance, he was only in his early forties.His body is majestic and tall, his face is white and beardless, and his facial features are extremely correct. It can be seen that he was also a handsome man when he was young.

At this time, Qian Hongchu was walking vigorously, striding forward, and at the same time, he was half a step behind, followed by two officials, one civil and one military, who were over half a century old.The civil servant on the right is burly and tall, but he looks more like a general.Ye Chen's eyes were like lightning, and he could tell at a glance that this was Wei Xin, the head of the civil servants of the Wuyue Kingdom, and Gao Chengxiang, the No. 1 commander of the Wuyue Kingdom's military, that Hu Sanguang had mentioned to him when he was in Suzhou.

Hu Sanguang had already inquired clearly about the information and past of these two people, and Ye Chen had also read it carefully on the way here.Knowing that the power of these two in Wuyue Kingdom and their influence on Wuyue King Qian Hongchu is insignificant, it is closely related to the success or failure of his trip to the south of the Yangtze River and his personal safety.

As soon as these two appeared, they stared at Ye Chen with a faint smile on their faces. Just from the expressions on their faces, it was impossible to tell that the two of them had any attitude towards Ye Chen. They were obviously that kind of standard old foxes.Ye Chen's eyes only lingered on Wei Xin and Gao Chengxiang for a while, and then returned to Qian Hongchu.

After carefully looking at Qian Hongchu, Ye Chen couldn't help thinking to himself: "This Wuyue king suppressed his hatred just after his younger brother was accidentally killed by his subordinates, and proposed a marriage with Da Song, which is enough to see his eyes. Long-term, extraordinary mind. In addition, since entering the Wuyue Kingdom, I have seen along the way that the people live and work in peace and contentment, and they are rich and clothed.

Seeing Qian Hongchu walking in front of Princess Yongqing's car, Ye Chen wanted to take the initiative to salute. Princess Yongqing in the car rushed before Qian Hongchu saluted, and said crisply through the curtain of the car: "Yongqing met Uncle Qian."

King Wuyue smiled slightly, just nodded, and said: "The princess has been exhausted all the way, it's hard work."

After finishing speaking, Qian Hongchu turned his head and came to Ye Chen's side and said with a smile, "This is the man who conquered the capital of the Northern Han Dynasty and the Southern Han Dynasty with all his strength, and 2000 troops attacked [-] bandits at night, and put down the chaos in Sichuan and Shu in one fell swoop. Lord Xiangfu?"

Ye Chen had already dismounted from his horse, and bowed to Qian Hongchu first, and said, "Ye Chen pays homage to the prince."

Qian Hongchu laughed loudly, stepped forward to hold Ye Chen's hand, and said: "Xiangfu Hou is both wise and brave. The Huaxia Weifu is well-known, and he has been admiring his name for a long time. I will soon avoid these vain etiquette. Ye Hou escorted the princess hard on the journey. As long as you don't give up, we are all like our own family."

Ye Chen couldn't hear him clearly with a Zhejiang accent, but he said in his mouth: "I don't dare to be this one. How dare a subordinate official climb up to the king?"

Next, Qian Hongchu recommended to Ye Chen the civil and military officials of Wuyue Kingdom, headed by Wei Xin and Gao Chengxiang.Except for a small number of stunned youths who showed hostility, most of them showed deep affection for the city. No matter what attitude they had towards Song Guo and Ye Chen in their hearts, they were all friendly on the surface. Ye Chen didn't like it. This kind of atmosphere, but compared with when he first came to this world last year, his personality is very different, and the same smirk and deputy envoy Zhang Mingqing returned to everyone one by one.

After a boring but indispensable procedure, Qian Hongchu and Ye Chen walked side by side, clearing the way, accompanied by all the civil and military officials of Wuyue Kingdom, leading the princess into the city. Cavalry, [-] black cavalry led by Hei Yue, [-] Huaxia Guards led by Zhang Dawei, the Special Investigation Department of the Intelligence Department, and [-] Wuyue King Palace Guards on the periphery and front and rear.

The people in Hangzhou City heard that Princess Yongqing of Song Dynasty married the son of King Wuyue.The street has long been crowded with people, rushing to watch the excitement.The city is decorated with lanterns and festoons, archways and wedding curtains are everywhere, and gongs, drums and firecrackers are ringing sky-high along the way.Ye Chen and Qian Hongchu rode into the city and saw everyone bowing to greet them. They thought that the Lord of Wuyue behaved so politely and kindly today, and he didn't mention the fact that the Lord of Yue, Qian Wu, was killed by mistake, which can be said to be enough. Song and his own face, but the more this happened, the more vigilant Ye Chen became.He never believed that his own people had killed the younger brother of King Wuyue, and he would pretend that the latter had never happened.He would not believe that Maitreya teaching building Yanming and Shangguan Bingyun were not prepared to deal with his various conspiracies and arrangements these days. He was even sure that in this Hangzhou city, someone must have arranged a plan to assassinate him.

In the center of Hangzhou City, in front of King Wuyue City, the Lord of Wuyue Kingdom led all the officials to salute the princess again through the curtain. The officer left.

Only Qian Zhiyin took Ye Chen and Princess Yongqing to the manor three miles outside the north gate of Wangcheng.

The name of this mansion is Hang Garden. It is said to be the No. [-] manor in Hangzhou.Divided into the front yard and the east-west yard, it was originally a high-rise building with a garden pavilion. After Qian Hongchu got the news that the Song Dynasty agreed that the princess would marry the prince, he made more construction projects and rebuilt it completely.As the imperial envoy and temporary residence of Princess Yongqing and Ye Chen,

Ye Chen and Qian Zhiyin walked side by side in the manor. After visiting for a while, Ye Chen found that the house was an elegant and exquisite garden building, with rockery, corridors, fish ponds, flowers and plants everywhere.

The cloisters of Jiangnan buildings are narrow and narrow, so the corridors look a little dark. From time to time, there are narrow doors on the wall that reach the top, painted in the same color as the wall. Sometimes you don’t pay attention to it, and you don’t know that there is a door next to it, and you push it open. It's another world.
