Chapter 1080 The old witch kidnapped the princess
In the early summer of the sixth year of Jingyuan, Da Shang, Tang Jiusheng brought fat men, Xiahou Lingyu, Guo Kuanghu, Qian Wucai, Xiao nun Jingchen and Luoyu Pavilion and the other two elders to return to the Da Shang Kingdom. Tang Jiusheng left Linghu Yu, Ling Jianfei, Jin Buhuan and others to help Tie Dun stabilize the situation of returning to the country. Linghu Yu took the initiative to ask to stay. After the battle at Chenyu Island, Linghu Yu had an idea about Tang Jiusheng and was unwilling to go back to Da Shang with Tang Jiusheng, so he chose to stay. Tang Jiusheng was afraid that he would stay alone and could not whistle him, so he left Ling Jianfei and Jin Buhuan for him.
Chen Er, the junior brother of the two elders of Luoyu Pavilion, and Chen Chengshu, the senior brother of Xiahou Lingyu, also voluntarily stayed in Tuhui. Although the two national masters Wuming and Huachenzi have disappeared, no one knows whether they will return. Therefore, Chen Chengshu decided to stay in Tuhui for a while, and wait until the situation of Tuhui returns to the country stabilizes before returning to Dashang.
Before Tang Jiusheng left, Tiedun asked Tang Jiusheng to answer his gratitude to the Emperor of the Great Shang, and begged Tang Jiusheng to ask for something from the eldest princess of Pingyuan Yin Ruonan. Tiedun always had a good impression of Yin Ruonan's little maid Li Lanqiu, and wanted to ask the eldest princess of Pingyuan to give Li Lanqiu to him as his wife, and said that it was Li Lanqiu who suddenly returned to the position of queen. Tang Jiusheng asked with a laugh and cry: "Tiedan, why didn't you tell the princess personally when you were in the Great Shang?"
Tie Dun smiled silly, "Boss, during my time in Da Shang, it's a problem whether I can save my life. How dare I implicate Miss Li again? Now Tie Dun has become the King of the Breaking Rewards and can give her a stable life, so he dares to ask the princess to give Miss Li to me as his wife! In fact, I fell in love with Miss Li at first sight, so I begged the boss to make my wish come true!"
Tang Jiusheng patted Tieton on the shoulder and said nothing. Since this person said this, he had to try his best to help him. Li Lanqiu was not a maid by the princess. If he could become a queen, it would be a good thing. But Da Shang and Chu Hui were far away. If the girl was unwilling to stay in Chu Hui, this was also a concern and had to consider other people's feelings. But if she wanted, it would be a happy result.
On the day Tang Jiusheng left Dachang City, Tiedun took the princess Peng Qingluan and the queen mother Yin Guosu to lead all civil and military officials to send them thirty miles outside the city. Tiedun, Tang Jiusheng and others shed tears and parted. It was not until Tang Jiusheng and his group could not see the shadows, Tiedun brought people back to the city.
As for Tolu Wuzhu's escape to Tulu Ayi and Tiehuan to return to the south, Tiedun was not worried. Even if the ministers in the court strongly suggested sending troops to chase Tolu Wuzhu and others, Tiedun did not agree. Tiedun believed that even if Tiebu died, even if Tiebu's son Tiehuan was there, few people were willing to follow Tolu Wuzhu's brother and sister. After all, Tiedun is now the king who was clearly the edict of the Emperor of the Shang Dynasty and has natural legality. Even Tiebu is just a fake king, let alone his son?
More than two months later, Kim Patton, the leader of the southern barbarians who lived in Yanboshan for generations, sent someone to send a gift in a black box to Dachang City, saying that he would offer it to the new king of Tuhui. Tiedun ordered people to open the black box, which contained three heads, namely Toru Wushu, Toru Ayi, and Tiehuan. All the ministers were surprised, but Tiedun was very calm and ordered people to reward him and appointed Kim Patton as the master of Yanboshan.
Gu Yangyu, the Minister of Personnel, was confused. He held the tablet in his hands and knelt down, "My king is above, my king is wise! At that time, my king insisted on sending troops to chase the ignorant brothers and sisters of Tolu, and now someone has presented their heads. I am dull and I really don't understand why this matter has turned into this. Please give me advice!"
Tiedun smiled and said, "Before King Wei left, he told me that after Tolu escaped incompetently, if the court sends troops to chase and kill, the southern barbarians will definitely think that the court will steal their territory. These people will take the opportunity to lobby. Once they join forces with the southern barbarians, the imperial court will have trouble and the war will not be easily settled. It is better to let it go. After they have no trouble with the southern barbarians, there will inevitably be conflicts. Then pay attention to it. How could the southern barbarians tolerate another king on their heads?"
Everyone was convinced. After the court came, Linghu Yu and Gu Yangyu, who had already been slapping the general in the third rank, walked with him. Linghu Yu smiled and said, "Mr. Gu is such a flattery! It not only gave King Wei a reputation as a god, but also made His Majesty the King earn a reputation of following advice!" Gu Yangyu laughed and asked Linghu Yu to drink at his house. Just kidding, as an old fox in the officialdom, how could he not see the wonderfulness of Tiedun and Tang Jiusheng's strategy? But the right flattery will make people extremely comfortable, and it is really necessary to be photographed.
At this time, Lu Guolie and others were expelled from the country. Yin Quan, the King of Pingxi, already knew that the return of the country had changed. Tiebu and Ma Qingdong were dead and Tie Dun ascended the throne. It was useless for Yin Quan to do anything. At this time, everything was too late, and what happened to the return of the country was a foregone conclusion. The furious Yin Quan threw all the people under Lu Guolie into the tiger cage and fed the tiger. After Yin Quan found out that Lu Guolie had written a letter to ask for help, but he didn't know who replaced the Feige's letter, Yin Quan became even more furious.
Yin Quan suspected that there was a traitor inside the Blood Shadow Hall, so he immediately ordered Cheng Jijia to investigate the Blood Shadow Hall from the inside out. Anyone who was suspected of "brethren" would rather kill three thousand people by mistake than let one go. For a moment, the Blood Shadow Hall caused everyone to be in danger and were scared. So many spies from the Blood Shadow Hall died at the hands of Yin Quan. How could Yin Quan know that the pigeon that sent the message was intercepted by the two elders of Luoyu Pavilion before leaving and returning to the prime minister's mansion, and Chen Er replaced the prince with the raccoon? Only those of his subordinates died were wronged!
Yin Quan hated Tang Jiu
Sheng, but now that the road is ready, he has no choice but to find another strange development alliance and can no longer expect to return home. Yin Quan regretted that he should not be entrusted at the beginning. He should have sent several powerful masters to protect Tiebu and Ma Qingdong. He did not expect that Tiebu's men would rebel so quickly! Since he already knew something that would soon make Tang Jiusheng a big deal, he did not want to send someone to kill Tang Jiusheng on the road. It was his favorite thing to make Tang Jiusheng worse than death.
Tang Jiusheng and his party returned to Shacheng. Zhuo Buqun personally led Guan Luetti, Tu Qiusheng, Duan Wude, Long Zhiyang and others to go out to welcome him. Everything in Dachang City was pacified, and what the future of Chuguo's return will look like depends on Tiedun's ability. Zhuo Buqun had already revealed his identity at this time. All the horse bandits in Shacheng knew that Chuguo had changed to a new king, and Chuguo's return to the country's future was unknown, so no one dared to make a rash move, so Zhuo Buqun asked Guan Luetti to take over as the lord of Shacheng City.
Tang Yusong, the lord of Tiancheng City, did not express his opinion, and agreed that Guan Luetti took over Shacheng. Other desert cities dared not have any opinions. Tang Jiusheng lived in Shacheng for two days, then took Zhuo Buqun and others with the brigade and wanted to return to Da Shang. On the way, he would have to linger in Tucheng for another two days. At this time, Yulong Xingkong also rushed back from Qianqiu Mountain. It turned out that Tang Jiusheng sent Yulong Xingkong to save Modi Yangqiu. Since her family did not want to care about her, and Diao Wenxun was dead, then only Tang Jiusheng could save her from the sea of suffering.
After Yulong Xingkong rescued Modi Yangqiu, Modi Yangqiu was already disheartened and unwilling to return to Modi's house in Dachang City. She asked Yulong Xingkong to take her to follow Tang Jiusheng. Yulong Xingkong had no choice but to take her to chase Tang Jiusheng and return to Tucheng. Unexpectedly, Jurba, who was in Tucheng, was shocked when he saw Modi Yangqiu and asked Tang Jiusheng to marry Modi Yangqiu.
Tang Jiusheng asked Modi Yangqiu’s opinion, and Modi Yangqiu smiled bitterly and said, “I am a homeless person and now there is no one to rely on. I will do whatever the prince arranges!”
Jurba shouted: "Prince, after seeing this girl Modi Yangqiu, all my thoughts are on her! I beg the prince to fulfill his wishes and betroth this Miss Modi to me! Jurba will be wholeheartedly treating Miss Modi all my life. If I don't do it, please ask the prince to cut off my head!"
Tang Jiusheng looked at Moddy Yangqiu, and Moddy Yangqiu nodded and agreed. So Tang Jiusheng announced in public that he would betrothed Moddy Yangqiu to Jurba as his wife. So under the arrangement of Tucheng City Lord An Shiqing, everyone organized a grand marriage for Jurba and Moddy Yangqiu.
On the third day after the two got married, Tang Jiusheng set off with the fat man, Yulong Xingkong, Zhuo Buqun, Xiahou Lingyu, Xiao Nun Jingchen, Luoyu Pavilion two elders, Guo Kuanghu, Qian Wucai and others, pretended to be a rushing caravan and returned to the Da Shang Kingdom. Tiedun had already prepared a pass certificate for everyone. There was nothing to say along the way, Tang Jiusheng and others returned from Chuguo to the southwest road, crossed the county, and wanted to go back to Jiannan Road.
Last year, when Tang Jiusheng and Wu Shiyun were recovering from his injuries in Huzhou, they had already received news from the Wei Palace that the second princess Ximen Yushuang was three months pregnant. It is now early summer of the second year. The news from the palace several times was that the second princess was about to give birth, but he had never given birth. Tang Jiusheng knew that he was about to be a father, so he naturally felt like he was returning home and led everyone back.
On the way, Tang Jiusheng and others only stayed in Jiangzhou City for one day. When they met Jin Dazhong and others, they had a provincial examination last fall. Unexpectedly, Tong Liang and Jin Huanzhang both passed the high school entrance examination. Tong Liang was the eighth place in Jiannan Road and Jin Huanzhang was the fifteenth place. Now both of them went to Beijing to participate in the examination and have not returned yet. Tang Jiusheng did not see two friends and did not stay for a long time, so he left the next day.
Everyone stayed in Huzhou for two more days. When they saw Chonglai, Sun Jiangdong, Su's father and son and others rushed to Luye City, and stayed in Luye City for three days. They drank and sang with Jing Yahong, the priest of the Western Imperial College, Su Changdong, the director of Jiannan Academy, and others. On the morning of the fourth day, when Tang Jiusheng led everyone out of Luye City, he didn't know that several envoys in the King of Wei's Mansion were also riding fast horses towards Luye City, and reported to Tang Jiusheng. Because there was a huge thing in the King of Wei's Mansion, it was necessary for the King of Wei to deal with it himself. Even Fei Ge could not believe it, and someone would report it himself.
At noon on the third day, Tang Jiusheng and others had just entered Jiangyuan County in Luye City, and saw several people coming from the Wei Wang Mansion to report the news. The leader was Cheng Long, the second steward of the Wei Wang Mansion. When Cheng Long saw Tang Jiusheng, he hurriedly jumped off his horse and knelt down at Tang Jiusheng in the city gate, and said with tears in his eyes: "Prince, something is wrong. The mansion is waiting for you. Princess, she, something happened to her!"
Tang Jiusheng was shocked. What happened to Shui Ruyue? What could Shui Ruyue have? Tang Jiusheng jumped off the horse, helped Cheng Long up, and said reluctantly: "Cheng Long, don't cry, tell me in detail, what happened to the eldest princess?"
Cheng Long wiped his tears and grinned and cried, "Prince, don't mention it! That's the case. The second princess's birth date had arrived two months ago, but the little prince in his belly had not been moved for a long time. The eldest princess and the second princess were anxious. The second princess said that the Bodhisattvas in Shengyun Temple outside the city were very effective, so the second princess was going to Shengyun Temple outside the city to burn incense. If you are not here, the matter at home is all the matters at home, so the eldest princess took twenty brothers of the Xiaowei to accompany the second princess to Shengyun Temple to burn incense. Hey, something happened when I went to Shengyun Temple!"
Tang Jiusheng felt nervous and asked, "The eldest princess is a first-class master, and she also brings twenty brothers of the Xiaowei Guards. Or is it outside our Anshu City? What can happen?"
Cheng Long cried and said, "Prince, you don't know. The eldest princess originally brought twenty brothers of the Xiaowei, three Xiaowei, five wolf men, and twelve iron men. These twenty brothers were all killed in battle in order to protect the second princess. Even the Xiaowei's spy line outside the city was cut off! The second princess was locked in Shengyun Temple for three days before he was released. The eldest princess was also kidnapped!" Everyone was shocked when they heard this. With Shui Ruyue's martial arts, they were kidnapped. What kind of master would it be that he could do it?
Tang Jiusheng's hair stood up one by one, and he didn't care about his image. Tang Jiusheng lifted Cheng Long's collar and picked him up. Tang Jiusheng asked in a deep voice: "What did you say? The little junior sister was kidnapped? Who is so powerful in martial arts and so bold? Kill the twenty brothers of my Xiaowei?" Tang Jiusheng's heart was bleeding. The little junior sister was kidnapped, and the twenty elites of the Xiaowei were killed. What kind of opponent is this? What kind of hatred is this?
Cheng Long kicked his feet in the air, almost strangled by Tang Jiusheng. Cheng Long opened his mouth and panted heavily, and said in a suffocation: "Prince, Prince, let me down!"
Only then did Tang Jiusheng realize that he had lost his composure and quickly put Cheng Long down, "Cheng Long, tell me quickly!"
Cheng Long put it on the ground for Tang Jiusheng, took a few more breaths before saying loudly: "Prince, the person who kidnapped the eldest princess is not someone else. It was the eighth witch in the world who was Yun's master, Yan Ruling, the Yuexian master of the Daxia Kingdom's drug master! She wanted to capture the second princess who were pregnant with Liujia. Of course, the brothers of Xiaowei could not sit idly by. The brothers rushed forward, but the old witch was really powerful. She killed our Xiaowei's brothers in less than a cup of tea. Even the eldest princess was not her opponent!"
Tang Jiusheng's heart was cold and he was stunned for a while, and then said, "What? Then you continue!"
Cheng Long nodded and said, "Hey! The princess, the eldest princess and Yan Ruling's old witch fought fiercely for more than twenty rounds, but they still lost to the old witch. The second princess was erect and could not take action. In fact, it was useless even if he took action! The old witch forced the eldest princess to retreat, and suddenly captured the second princess, and was about to take the second princess away. The old witch said, Tang Jiusheng killed my disciple, and he would let Tang Jiusheng's unborn son pay his life!"
When Tang Jiusheng heard this, his face was distorted, and his fists clenched tightly. Tang Jiusheng said angrily: "Her apprentice wants to kill me, so I will fight back! But she has caused harm to my wife and the unborn child because of this. Is this the master doing? I want to settle the score with the old witch! Where is the old witch now?"
Cheng Long replied: "Prince, don't worry, listen to me slowly!"
Tang Jiusheng waved his fists and roared, "I'm not anxious? How can I not hurry? I'm anxious now! You said, "Where did the old witch kidnapped the eldest princess? Where is the second princess now?"
Cheng Long bowed and said, "My prince, it's useless to be anxious now. Listen to me slowly! When the old demon Yan Ruling captured the second princess, the princess could not save the second princess. But the princess said, 'Yan Ruling, you are a senior in the world, a well-known person. If you bully a pregnant woman, it will be a shame to spread it out!" The old demon said, 'I'm here to avenge the murderer! But no matter what the rules of the world are you! Now I'll take her away, and you ask Tang Jiusheng to come to the Poisoning Sect of the Daxia Poisoning Master Mountain! Use him to exchange his wife and children!'"
Tang Jiusheng sighed and smiled bitterly: "Okay! Then I'll go to Poison Master Mountain to find her! Change it back to Shuang'er and the child!"
Cheng Long shook his head and said, "Prince, I didn't say that! The eldest princess said at that time, 'Now the princess is not at home. As the eldest princess, I am the princess, and I am the princess' favorite woman. You might as well let our second princess go and take me as a hostage! Use me in exchange for it, don't hurt the second princess! Now the second princess is pregnant, and here we are in Daxia, and we are thousands of miles away. Why do you have to mess with her? Maybe your fuss will be a corpse and two lives!"
Tang Jiusheng's head buzzed and his whole body trembled: "What?"
Cheng Long said again: "So the eldest princess replaced the second princess from the old witch. She was taken away by the old witch. The old witch said that she was taking her back to the Poison Master Sect on the Poison Master Mountain in the Daxia Kingdom. If the prince wants the eldest princess to be safe, he must go to the Poison Master Mountain to fight her. As long as the prince wins, she will release him! Otherwise, she will have to attack the eldest princess! The nuns in Shengyun Temple were also pre-set by others. The nuns watched the second princess and waited for the old witch to go away. On the third day, they sent the second princess back to the prince's mansion!"
Tang Jiusheng stamped his feet and said, "Is Brother Xin not in the palace? Brother Xin is usually a meticulous person. If he is in charge, he will not have such a mistake?"
Cheng Long shook his head and said, "Prince, the prince consort is indeed not in the prince's mansion. Prince Xin took people to patrol the direction of Jianzhou. Now that I know that something happened to the prince's mansion is also on the way back!"
Tang Jiusheng sighed and said, "Let's go back to the royal palace first, wait for me to go to Daxia in person, find the old witch and save the junior sister!"
Tang Jiusheng was so angry that his hands and feet were cold.
Chapter completed!
