Fortunately met when I was not married

Chapter 30

Chapter 27 Difficulty

The army of the Northern Expedition set off quickly, and Shang Yu and Zhan Peng named General Zuowei and General Youwei respectively, and set off with the army.This time the top [-] in the martial arts test were organized into each team to go out with the army, and everyone could see that the emperor wanted to train some newcomers this time.There has been no war in Daliang for many years. Some veterans in the court have retired, some are old, and some are too powerful.Therefore, after this battle, the emperor will definitely award more newcomers. In the future, the structure of the court will become more complicated, or scattered.

The emperor followed the Northern Expeditionary Army to the north and returned to Shangjing, and Pei Yunkuang also left Dongdu and returned to Xinzhou.

The pigeon is often seen in the palace, it should be the news brought by Shang Yu.She was embarrassed to ask, but she was also very concerned about his news in her heart. She often peeked at Pei Yunkuang's expression, and she thought, if he looked happy, then Shang Yu must be fine.

In the blink of an eye, January passed, and the first snow in winter fell in Xinzhou.The snow is not too much, and the fine and dense snowflakes are floating in the air, as if they are reluctant to part with the sky and refuse to blend into the dust.

There was a stove in the study, warm as spring, Pei Yunkuang was writing a letter.A piece of incense was lit on the table, and the fragrance flowed in the study.After sealing the letter, he squinted his eyes while looking at the snowflakes outside the window, and said in a low voice, "The snow in northern Xinjiang must be much more powerful than this."

She followed his line of sight, and Xue Siwen and delicate appearance outside the window looked like Xiaojiabiyu.The snow in northern Xinjiang must be like a large piece of goose feathers, which is the style of Haoshi Yingjie.Her heart skipped a beat, wondering if Shang Yu was cold there.However, thinking that he was still wearing thin clothes in late autumn, he should be a person who is not afraid of the cold.

"Give the letter to the steward."

She stepped forward to receive the letter, and his sleeves were also stained with that fragrance, which smelled very nice.

When she walked to the door, she suddenly saw the housekeeper rushing in, leaning over and whispering something in his ear.

Pei Yunkuang's face changed, and he immediately ordered: "Send more people to guard the roads down the mountain, and call a hundred more personal guards with weapons to follow me into the mountain."

He turned his head to Si Tian and said, "Wear thicker, and follow me out with the soul-stirring needle."

Si Tian handed the letter to the housekeeper, hurried to the bedroom in the backyard, found a cape with a hood to put on, took three soul-destroying needles from the medicine box, and hurried to the gate of the palace.Pei Yunkuang's personal guards were already waiting at the gate, with swords and bows and arrows on the saddle, all of them looked stern.

She was nervous for a while, not knowing what happened.

Pei Yunkuang came out in a hurry from the door. He was wearing a black cloak, and he also wore a sword at his waist. His usual calm expression was covered with a thin layer of frost.

He stepped onto the white horse, suddenly remembered something, frowned and said to Si Tian: "I forgot that you can't ride a horse."

As he said that, before she could react, he bent down from the horse, hugged her around the waist, and placed her directly in front of him. Then he reined in the horse and walked away, and the people behind immediately followed up.

She was panicked and shy in front of his chest, but there was nothing she could do. She secretly decided that she must learn to ride a horse in the future, otherwise, in front of so many people, how decent would it be to share a ride with him?She put on her hat to hide the scarlet and unnatural expression on her face.

After leaving the city, she headed in the direction of Lanzhou Mountain. During the bumpy ride, her body always collided with him. She deliberately wanted to stay away, but there was no more place for her to calm down.

As soon as she moved, he was a little distracted, so he stopped in a low voice: "Don't move." As he said, he circled her tighter.

Her heart beat faster, she was shy and embarrassed, her body stiffened in his arms, she didn't dare to move anymore.

The snow is still falling slowly.There was a little snow on the tip of his eyebrows, and the color of his eyebrows became darker.

After the fast horse ran for half an hour, the mountain road became steep and narrow, everyone abandoned their horses, leaving two people watching the horses, and walked up the mountain on foot.

The mountain road was covered with a thin layer of snow, and it was a bit slippery to step on.Wan Lai was silent, only the sound of trampling snow underfoot.

Her physical strength was incomparable to that of the soldiers, not even his.He is usually pampered and pampered, but at this moment he doesn't feel short of breath or tired at all, walking on the mountain road as usual.

Up to a hollow in the middle of the mountain, there were two people waiting on the narrow mountain road, covered with snow, immediately came up to salute when they saw him: "My lord, I have been waiting for a long time."

Pei Yunkuang asked anxiously, "Qu Liu'er, did you find someone?"

Qu Liu'er said: "Only one was found, and there were three more. They are missing and have been searched for."

Pei Yunkuang's face was gloomy, and he said to the guards behind him, "We'll go look for each other separately. If you want to see people, if you want to see people, if you want to see dead bodies. If you find them, send out the signal immediately."

The people behind immediately took orders and dispersed.

"what is the problem?"

"This morning, when the little man was cooking, he found a cart that was not in the original place. He felt a little strange. Later, the third child found that he had lost one of his cotton coats. So the little man immediately ordered people to look around. Fortunately, it was snowing, the road was covered and it was difficult to find, and they were not familiar with this place. When we caught up with them, we saw four people. Unfortunately, one of them was very powerful with a bow and arrow, and shot and killed five of our brothers. We only caught one and the other three got away."

"What about the one you caught?"

"I don't want to die."

Pei Yunkuang sneered: "No hurry, we'll talk about finding those three people first."

He frowned, looked at the mine not far away, and said in a low voice: "If those three people run away, everyone here will die."

Qu Liu'er's face was startled suddenly, and the look of panic was quickly suppressed again.He whispered: "Don't worry, my lord, even if they find the place, they won't know the inside story. The silver is hidden in the cellar, and it's impossible to find it."

Pei Yunkuang shook his head: "Even if it is iron ore, you have to report it to the emperor. What's more."

While mining the iron ore here, he accidentally discovered a small amount of silver ore. Shao Pei selected the most loyal and reliable people in Qishimen, and secretly transported the silver ore here for smelting.This place is extremely hidden, and there are always people guarding and patrolling the periphery.I didn't expect such a thing to happen.According to the law of Daliang, smelting gold and silver privately is a crime of beheading and exterminating the nine clans.Even if iron ore is found on the fiefdom of a prince, it must be reported to the superiors, and [-]% of the proceeds will be turned over to the country, and only [-]% will be kept for the daily operation of the mine, and the rest will be owned by the fief owner.

If this matter gets out, the consequences will be disastrous.He felt a burst of cold air rising up, and couldn't help tightening his cloak.He turned around and said to the ten guards following him, "Follow me to go downstairs and have a look."

Qu Liu'er hurriedly said: "My lord should wait here, it's snowing and the road is not easy."

Pei Yunkuang walked away without waiting for him to finish speaking.How could he wait for such a big event.It's okay if ordinary people break in by accident, I'm afraid it's someone with ulterior motives.And judging from the situation of catching that person and refusing to confess, it must be ordered by someone.

Si Tian followed behind him, his black cloak swept across the white snow, the contrast between black and white made people nervous.

After passing through a pine forest, there is a very narrow mountain road with stone walls on both sides.The snow was too slippery, and she couldn't walk fast with one deep foot and one shallow foot. He had no choice but to turn around and stretch out his hand to hold her arm, supporting her.

Although she was ashamed, she didn't break free and let him hold her arm.At this moment, the big thing is the most important thing, the little things, forget it, even the incident of riding the same horse with him happened, it's not a big deal.

Walking to the middle of the corridor, flakes of snow suddenly fell from a protruding stone wall on the right, rustling down from the top of the head.He was startled suddenly, and immediately stepped aside, leaning against the stone wall.The guards were immediately on high alert with swords in hand.

He pulled her close to the stone wall. A protruding stone wall blocked the view from above, so he couldn't see the situation above.Suddenly, several cold arrows came through the air, and his guards were on guard, swiping their knives to block the arrows.The two guards jumped lightly, supported by several guards' arms, they stepped up the stone wall, unexpectedly, they were shot down by an arrow in an instant, it seems that the man's archery skills are indeed very good.At this moment, they are in a favorable position, the situation is not optimistic, and the atmosphere suddenly turns grim.

Pei Yunkuang whispered to the people around him: "This is a dead end, don't worry." When the arrows are exhausted, they must leave, otherwise they will be trapped here to death.

An eerie silence, with the falling snowflakes.

Sure enough, the opponents couldn't wait any longer. After a few cold arrows were let go, a black shadow flew over their heads. They threw an iron hook over and hooked it to the opposite mountain wall. Pei Yunkuang immediately ordered: "Shoot the arrow! Go up!" !"

The guards under him immediately swarmed up and kicked up the stone wall, and the three of them were trying to jump to the opposite side with the help of ropes and iron hooks.Random arrows passed through the snow, accompanied by a scream.Si Tian saw a black shadow flying over her head. Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and her eyes went black. She seemed to be shocked suddenly and passed out.

**** **** **** **** **** **** ***** ***** **** **** *** ****
"Si Tian, ​​Si Tian!" Someone shouted in her ear, she woke up, the surrounding was dark, with a few rays of light occasionally, she was a little dizzy, where is this?
A warm hand was pressed to her cheek.

"Si Tian, ​​how are you?"

She was in a trance for a moment, then came to her senses, it was Pei Yunkuang's voice.

"My lord, where is this place?" Why did she feel that she was leaning against his arms, she struggled a little, but found that she couldn't move, and there were stones around her.

He smiled helplessly: "We didn't go there, just where we were standing just now. It was just unlucky. Those people hooked on the stone wall. For some reason, a pile of rubble fell from the top and stuck us here. Fortunately, this There is an edge on the stone wall to block it, otherwise, you and I will become salted fish slices."

He was able to jokingly talk about such a thrilling thing, and she could hear the cold sweat on her head. Yes, if she hadn't leaned against the stone wall tightly just now, she might really have been crushed under the stone at this moment and turned into a dried flat fish.She was a little anxious, trapped here, how to get out?

"Don't worry, they came to save people just now, I told them to catch up with those two people first. Be patient." It's okay for him to be trapped under the stone pile for a while, but if he let the two people go, there will be endless troubles. Unbelievable.

She breathed a sigh of relief, being with him, it was as if the sky had fallen, and it was fine.After experiencing the robbery and killing last time, she quickly calmed down this time.As soon as she relaxed, she felt some pain in her shoulder. She touched it lightly, and her fingers were sticky. She knew that she must have been injured by a stone.

She hurriedly asked, "My lord, are you injured?"

He gave a grace, then paused and said: "The toenails may not be able to keep." Then, he sighed quietly: "My toenails have just been trimmed, and they are in good shape. It's a pity that they were broken."

She "puchi" laughed out loud.At this time, he can still make jokes.

In a dark and cramped place, the two of them were forced to squeeze together, her waist and shoulders were pressed against him, and her body was full of fragrance.

He is not Liu Xiahui.

This kind of ambiguity was about to move around in the small space, and he was a little hot. He didn't want to understand the reason carefully, and was afraid of experiencing something else.So, he immediately resolved the ambiguity with a joke.

"Hey, just now I was thinking, if I die, I will be wronged, just for a little money."

A stingy person likes to flaunt his generosity. He has always spent a lot of money, but he always wants to show that he is stingy.

She held back her laughter and said in a low voice, "It's not good to be greedy."

He very much agreed, and sighed: "Actually, I'm not greedy at all. I used to live a very happy life. Xinzhou has good mountains and rivers, famous tea, and beautiful women." He paused: "What do I do?" satisfy."

The last sentence sounded a little awkward to her. Is he satisfied with the beauty, or is he satisfied with something else?
He sighed again: "But no one thought that the emperor would have no heirs. So, my king's good days are coming to an end."

The greed she mentioned only refers to money, but his experience is not limited to that.He was poisoned but didn't know it. He didn't become alert until the princess died.Later, I changed all the tableware into silverware, went out to socialize, and brought Su Pian with me, just in case.It's a pity that being a low-key person can't stop others from looking at you high-key.Things keep popping up, accumulating bit by bit, forcing out his "greed", this greed is actually greed for life.

It was just a moment of shock, and some flashy thoughts flashed by. If he died like this, he would really be unwilling.

He was silent, but within a square inch, the two cuddled each other, and when they were quiet, they became ambiguous.

He hurriedly said again: "This king doesn't have a son yet, if he dies, how can he explain to his parents. I still have a younger sister who hasn't been married yet, hey, I'm so sad."

He talked about his family's short stories, and he was not at all princely, but he couldn't help but make people laugh, and wanted to hear him talk.She also felt that only jokes could resolve this subtle ambiguity, and she couldn't stop, it would be embarrassing if she stopped.

She never knew that he had a younger sister, why hadn't she seen it in the palace or heard him mention it?

"Isn't the prince's sister living in the palace?"

He thought of Yun Yi, and suddenly felt pity: "Poor sister, she lives in a nunnery."

She was surprised: "Why?"

"This king has an aunt who was sent out by the emperor to marry her and died unexpectedly. Therefore, this younger sister was sent to a nunnery when she was young. She used the excuse that her life was poor and she needed to practice Buddhism to prolong her life. In fact, she wanted to stay away from right and wrong, for fear of repeating the same mistakes."

It turned out that she sympathized with the princess very much. The emperor had no heirs, so if there was any marriage, she would naturally look for it in the clan.

He sighed, and said: "She is about the same age as you. I searched and searched but couldn't find a suitable family. I really can't find it. Let her be promised to Shang Yu, so as not to have long nights and dreams."

She was stunned!
