On the official road to Zijunzhou, Tang Jiusheng did not dare to stop and led everyone on the way all night. At this time, Cheng Zifei and Yu Dongzhi led six guards from Pingxi Palace to clear the way. Three carriages were in the middle, and fifty soldiers from Pingxi Palace

Lu Fangping led ten cavalrymen to guard him on the left and right. Fortunately, there were few pedestrians on the official road at night, so the convoy rushed non-stop and rushed towards Zijunzhou.

At this time, Tang Jiusheng, Shui Ruyue, Ximen Yushuang, and Ximen Yuxue were sitting in a carriage. The carriage was specially made, let alone the official road, and it would not feel bumpy even on the rugged mountain road. Ximen Yuxue

The four maids were arranged in another carriage.

The carriage that Ximen Yuxue is riding in was specially built for her by Yin Quan. The interior of the carriage is spacious and luxuriously decorated. The four walls have excellent sound insulation. The entire carriage is filled with an elegant fragrance. It is only produced by Yuezhou Guanyao.

The celadon-glazed lotus incense burner was already valuable. Tang Jiusheng was very interested when he saw the exquisiteness of the incense burner. After asking, he found out that this lotus incense burner was specially customized by Yin Quan for Ximen Yuxue at Yuezhou Guan Kiln.

, worth thousands of gold.

The celadon-glazed lotus incense burner is divided into two parts. The upper part is composed of four layers of lotus flowers. Each layer has twelve lotus petals, symbolizing the twelve months of the year. Four petals are engraved with the four characters "Ximen Yuxue" on the top.

On the top is a small crane, with its head held high, fluttering its wings and looking into the distance. Occasionally, it will spit out a subtle fragrance from its mouth. The lower part of the incense burner is an oval belly with five claws and tiger feet, standing firmly.

.

There is a luminous stone in a glass lampshade hanging on the top of the carriage. It is not too bright. If it is not in use, there is a bird mechanism on the wall of the carriage. Twist the bird's head and the luminous stone will be put away. Tang Jiusheng heard that the fragrance

The smoker was already worth thousands of gold, and I couldn't help but look around at this luxurious carriage, sighing secretly in my heart. It was true that what Lao Du said before about Zhumen's wine and meat smelling stinky, and that people would freeze to death on the road.

Twenty taels of silver was enough for an agricultural family of four to have enough food and clothing for a year, and building such an incense burner would consume the living expenses of hundreds of families of four for a year. Tang Jiusheng couldn't help but think of the distant past

The emperor of the capital, Yin Guang, lived a simple life and had not changed his casual clothes for several years. Looking at the graceful and luxurious Princess Pingxi in front of him, Tang Jiusheng became more determined to get rid of Prince Yin Quan of Pingxi.

It was the first time Tang Jiusheng met Ximen Yuxue, and he couldn't help but look up and down at Princess Pingxi, who was known as the most beautiful woman in Dashang. Ximen Yuxue had long flowing hair, an oval face, willow-leaf eyebrows, phoenix eyes, a straight nose, a small red mouth, and small hands.

If she is soft and tender, her skin is like gelatin, her body is graceful and well-proportioned, if she loses one point, she will be too thin, if she gains one point, she will be too fat, her eyebrows are affectionate, and her face is springy. No wonder she can make the king of Pingxi, Yin Quan, a man of heaven, and the king of Zhou, Yin Aoye, can't.

sleep soundly.

At this time, Ximen Yuxue had just escaped from the tiger's mouth. She felt ashamed and ashamed, and her face looked a little haggard. However, she was still excited to see her third sister, whom she had not seen for a long time. Moreover, when she learned that it was her third sister and her brother-in-law who had forced their way into Zhou

After the palace rescued him, he felt even more grateful and nodded secretly. Fortunately, he supported the third sister in escaping from the marriage. Otherwise, how could he escape from the tiger's mouth today?

Ximen Yuxue couldn't help but look at her brother-in-law Tang Jiusheng who was sitting calmly in front of her. She saw that he was wearing a scholar's uniform, with sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, a straight nose and thin lips.

Inside the car, there was a big sword on his back. The scholar carrying the sword looked even more handsome.

Ximen Yushuang had comforted the second sister a lot before, and Ximen Yuxue's heart had also calmed down, and she was no longer as afraid as she was when she was in Prince Zhou's Mansion. Tang Jiusheng and Shui Ruyue did not treat Ximen Yuxue because she was insulted by Yin Ao.

She looked down upon her, but Tang Jiusheng only said, "It's good if you can survive. I'm really afraid that Yin Ao will get angry and kill you. No matter what, human life comes first!"

Ximen Yuxue couldn't help but think of her husband Yin Quan, the King of Pingxi who also had the same face and majestic appearance. It seemed that in Yin Quan's eyes, human life was the least valuable thing. As long as he wanted to get something, even if it was just for

Even with a stone, he can order killing without hesitation and without any mercy.

Looking at Tang Jiusheng's warm smile, Ximen Yuxue sighed for no reason. Although she was Yin Quan's wife, she could do nothing to him. Yin Quan was keen on power and would not listen to advice. He once said publicly that the reason why I can do this today is

Killing people like hemp and making everyone in the world fear it is precisely because of the royal power in my hands, otherwise I would be worthless. The pain I can make my enemies live, this is my happiness, Yin Quan!

After many days of fright and exhaustion, Ximen Yuxue felt tired and soon fell asleep in her sister's arms.

Yushuang smiled sweetly and hugged the second sister. Although the second sister had already numbed her shoulders, she was still unwilling to move because she was afraid of waking up the second sister.

No matter what, the second sister will always be the second sister, even though the second sister has a weak character and cannot take the initiative in everything. But when she first escaped from marriage, in the huge Ximen family, only the second sister and the second brother supported her in escaping from marriage.

The second sister said to herself in private that although she had power and status when marrying Yin Quan, she had no love. In Yin Quan's eyes, she was just an item, a personal item belonging to Yin Quan, an item that could be shown off to others. Yin Quan

Quan just wants to show off to others that he married the most beautiful woman in Dashang. Ximen Yushuang felt sorry for her second sister, so she wanted to marry for love. Fortunately, she was lucky and met Tang Jiusheng on the way to escape from the marriage.

Who says that all this is not fate? Ximen Yushuang looked at Tang Jiusheng with a smile. At this time, Shui Ruyue had also fallen asleep and was leaning on Tang Jiusheng's shoulder. Tang Jiusheng did not dare to turn around and looked at Tang Jiusheng who also did not dare to move.

Ximen Yushuang, the couple looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.

At dawn, Cheng Zifei and others who were leading the way stopped their horses. They saw Zijunzhou's Meteor Detective Horse coming in front, and far behind there were hundreds of cavalry led by Wang Changlong. The two sides greeted each other, and Meteor Detective Horse was there.

After learning that the prince and princess were safe, they turned around and hurried back to the city to report the news.

It turned out that after Du Ruo arrived at Zijun Prefecture, he explained to Wu Yuanzhi, who had been promoted to the county guard, that Tang Jiusheng was in Caoyang County to ask for someone from the King of Zhou, and that there might be a conflict with the King of Zhou. Wu Yuanzhi immediately sent out the meteor and horse scouts.

At the same time, he ordered his lieutenant to immediately mobilize his troops and asked Wang Changlong to lead a hundred cavalry to meet the prince. As soon as he found that something was wrong, he would immediately send troops to Caoyang County. Whether the fight would be won or not was another matter. His attitude must be clear.

At the Yamen of Zijunzhou County Sheriff, Du Ruo was anxious and restless. At this moment, Meteor came back to report that Wei Wang Qiantui and others had escaped from danger and were on their way to Zijunzhou. One hundred cavalry had joined the prince's team. Now,

It was already less than a hundred miles away from Zhoucheng. Du Ruo, Tiedun, Wu Yuanzhi and others let out a sigh of relief. Even Shen Xiaoyu, who was captured as a maid, was very happy.

Wu Yuanzhi immediately gave the order and started preparing meals, preparing to cleanse the prince and princess, and calm down Princess Pingxi's shock at the same time. The next afternoon, Tang Jiusheng entered the city with a majestic convoy that had been running all night and all morning, and the people came to the city one after another.

The streets were packed with people to watch King Wei drive.

When the tired cavalry arrived at the safe area, they all dismounted from their horses to rest. Some fell down on the ground and fell asleep. You know, they changed horses twice during the nearly three hundred miles along the way, but they didn't get any rest. How could they not be tired?

Du Ruo and Wu Yuanzhi took people out of the Sheriff's Yamen. If it weren't for the public gaze outside, Du Ruo would really want to throw herself into Tang Jiusheng's arms. Seeing Du Ruo's warm eyes, Tang Jiusheng felt warm in his heart. He entered the flower hall of the back house of the Sheriff's Yamen,

Everyone had a hearty meal. They rode on horseback and ate some dry food along the way. Even Ximen Yuxue, who was sitting in the carriage, was exhausted, not to mention the soldiers who couldn't dismount.

After adjusting in Zijun Prefecture for two days, Tang Jiusheng said goodbye to Wu Yuanzhi. Regardless of Wu Yuanzhi's repeated attempts to stay, he led his people to the fiefdom of Jiannan Road. After entering Jiannan Road, their first stop was Dangyang County.

After receiving the news, Gao Chongyang, Han Laosan and Liu Ruqing led a team five miles out of the city to greet him on the official road. The Dangyang County magistrate also took the county officials and squires out of the city to kneel at the city gate to greet him. Among the squire team, there was an old acquaintance of Tang Jiusheng.

, Zhu Dachang, the leader of the Black Tiger Clan.

Zhu Dachang heard that Tang Jiusheng had arrived at Jiannan Road and his first stop was Dangyang County. He was so frightened that he was pissed off and out of his mind. His son Zhu Juxian had always been against Tang Jiusheng, and he was really afraid that Tang Jiusheng would take it out on him.

Gao Chongyang met Tang Jiusheng, took Han Laosan, Liu Ruqing and others, dismounted respectfully, knelt on the roadside and kowtowed: "Gao Chongyang, Han Zhili and Liu Ruqing led the entire garrison in Dangyang to see the King of Wei, who is a thousand years old!"

Tang Jiusheng jumped off the horse in a hurry and helped Gao Chongyang and others up. Tang Jiusheng punched Gao Chongyang with a smile and cursed: "Gao Chongyang, you guy, you are not kind! We grew up naked together, you

Do this with me too? That’s too much!”

Gao Chongyang lowered his head and replied respectfully: "King Wei is a thousand years old. This is the etiquette of the imperial court. Gao Chongyang dare not violate it!"

Tang Jiusheng shook his head, "Gao Chongyang, since you said so, then I will give you special privileges from now on. You don't have to bow to me when you see me. Is that okay?"

Gao Chongyang replied respectfully: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Then he regained his playful smile and punched Tang Jiusheng hard, "Old Tang, you really scared me to death. You have been promoted so high, Your Majesty! My

God, I never dreamed that my brother would become the prince of the Great Shang Kingdom one day! Oh my God, oh my God! From now on, I will have the confidence to brag to others, damn it!"

Tang Jiusheng rubbed Gao Chongyang's hair and scolded with a smile: "You are really promising!" He turned around and looked at Han Laosan who looked cautious, "Old Han, are you used to being here?"

Han Lao San quickly bowed, "Your Majesty, I have never given up my humble position. I came to Dangyang and adapted to the environment here. Being able to join the army and serve the country has been my dream for many years. Now it has come true. I, Han Lao San, are very happy."

I'm so happy! Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I, Han Laosan, will never disappoint Your Majesty's expectations and will work hard to lead good troops to repay Your Majesty and the court!"

Tang Jiusheng said with a smile: "That's good! A man who has nothing to do with his appearance should strengthen himself!"

Han Lao San quietly poked Gao Chongyang next to him, "Hey, Lao Gao, what did I, Lao Han, say today? You can't always laugh at me for being illiterate and say that I can't fart even with eight poles. Look,

At the critical moment when I met the prince today, I was able to fart twice!" Everyone laughed wildly.

Tang Jiu Sheng greeted Liu Ruqing with a smile, and everyone followed Tang Jiu Sheng to the county town. At the gate of the city, the magistrate of Dangyang County tremblingly brought the officials and squires to pay their respects to King Wei. Tang Jiu Sheng told them to go without courtesy. The magistrate of Dangyang County was new and took office.

Less than three months later, his surname was Tong and his given name was Tong Yushan. He was born in the same Jinshi class and read poetry and books, but there was no one in the court, so he was chosen to be the county magistrate in Dangyang.

Tong Yushan plucked up the courage to ask King Wei to rest his horse in the county government office. Tang JiuSheng readily agreed and took everyone to live in the county government office. Zhu Dachang also came to pay his respects to Tang JiuSheng and wanted Tang JiuSheng to rest in his other courtyard. Tang JiuSheng simply arranged for Ximen Yuxue

For Ximen Yushuang's sake, he really didn't want to take a second look at the people of Prince Pingxi's palace.

That night, Tang Jiusheng and his three wives, who were staying overnight at the county government office, plus Magistrate Tong, Gao Chongyang, Han Laosan, Liu Ruqing, Wang Changlong and others were drinking tea and chatting in the flower hall. Suddenly, they heard someone outside the window moving their hands and shouting.

It was Cheng Zifei and Lu Anping. Then they heard a woman shout loudly: "Tang Jiusheng, get out! I want to compete with you!"

Cheng Zifei, who was fighting the unidentified woman, said angrily: "Who are you? How dare you call King Wei by his first name!"

The woman also scolded back: "Bah, you two are just dogs guarding Tang Jiusheng's door! You dare to bite people?"

Everyone in the room looked at each other. Gao Chongyang was furious. He stood up and strode out of the flower hall, shouting: "Who dares to break into the county government office at night?" Tang Jiusheng and everyone followed and saw a pale young woman having sex with Cheng Zifei and Lu Fangping.

Take action. The woman fought one against two with her bare hands, but she was more offensive than defensive.

When Tang Jiusheng saw the woman, he couldn't help laughing and shouted: "Stop it!" Cheng Zifei and Lu Fangping heard the prince shouting to stop, and quickly jumped out of the circle, standing aside panting.

The woman looked at the two of them and said contemptuously: "Two rice buckets!" Cheng Zifei was furious and wanted to step forward with the knife again. The woman glared and said: "They are not afraid of beating an old woman, so are they afraid of you alone?"

Tang Jiusheng said with a smile: "Okay, Zi Fei, please step back. I know this person. Long Zilan, what are you doing all the way to Jiannan Road?" It turns out that this woman is the devil that Tang Jiusheng saved in Prince Zhou's Mansion.

The master of Qin Valley, Long Zilan.

Long Zilan snorted, widened her eyes and replied: "Tang Jiusheng, they all say that you have great martial arts skills. I have never fought with you, how can I be convinced? So I caught up with you and beat you!"

Tang Jiusheng laughed dumbly and said: "Long Zilan, you are so weird! I rescued you in Prince Zhou's Mansion. Not to mention repaying my kindness, you have no reason to chase me to Jiannan Road and beat me, right? What is this?

reason!"

Long Zilan chuckled and said: "Tang Jiusheng, when I meet young masters, I can't help but fight with them. You are now the most famous among the young masters in the world. If I don't hit you, who will I hit? Don't worry, I will

I'll fight you in a measured way, I won't beat you to death!" As he spoke, he was about to come forward and take action.
Chapter completed!
