Chapter 319 The Red Wedding (1)
Han Jian thought that since Zhu Tongjing dared to come to Jiangdu and talking about this in front of him, it means that Zhu Tongjing is sure to persuade him. 23+wx Under the current situation, the alliance between Wei and Qi may be the best solution for Jiangdu to resolve the difficulties. Jiangdu is backed by the strong manpower and material resources of the Qi Dynasty, so he basically doesn't have to worry about the invasion of Luoyang and the Northern King's forces in the south.
But the problem is that Southern Qi will not easily agree to form an alliance, which is not in their interests. Jiangdu cannot agree to form an alliance with Southern Qi casually, because Southern Qi may have been ambition to take Jiangdu first and then enter the Central Plains.
What Zhu Tongjing proposed was not an alliance, but to let Jiangdu surrender to Southern Qi. Without the support of Southern Qi, it was difficult for Jiangdu to win in the battle for power with Luoyang, especially when Southern Qi used a secret move behind him. Once Jiangdu was trapped in front of him, there were wolves and tigers behind him, even with the full support of the Southern King's Mansion, he could not last long. What's bad is that Southern King Yang Luochuan was not a fuel-efficient lamp. He would not sit by and watch Jiangdu grow bigger, nor would he fully support Jiangdu.
"What is the Eastern King thinking?" After the two were silent for a while, Zhu Tongjing asked with a smile.
"If I, Jiangdu, sent an envoy to Jinling and said this to Master Zhu, how should Master Zhu respond?" Han Jian said.
Zhu Tongjing was not angry, but pretended to be serious. He thought it seriously and said, "In the second meeting, I will really seek survival in the cracks and lose my protection every day, I will naturally seriously consider the opinions of the envoys and discuss with Your Majesty and the Queen Mother. Is it feasible to submit to you? King Dong, what do you think?"
Han Jian said: "Master Zhu is pointing a clear path?"
Zhu Tongjing smiled and said, "The King of Dong was joking, but this is not a dark road, right?"
"Master Zhu is kind to you. I am grateful. Today I am married today. I don't want to delay the auspicious time, so please move to the East Prince's Mansion to talk."
After Han Jian finished speaking, he went straight downstairs without saying anything. For him, now is not the time to say these words. As the lord of Jiangdu, he also assumes the important task of restoring Luoyang, and sometimes he cannot be too emotional. What Zhu Tongjing mentioned to him was just as Zhu Tongjing said. It was not a dark road. If Jiangdu was under the attack of Luoyang and the Northern King forces and could not receive too much assistance from Yuzhou, it seemed that there was no more way except to temporarily rely on the Qi Dynasty.
When we returned to the Eastern Palace, the wedding reception team was ready. Han Jian's several concubines were also wearing gorgeous clothes waiting for Han Jian to appear.
Han Jian came back. Han Cui and Han Xu came over. When they saw Han Jian's serious expression, they knew something had happened.
"Jian'er. Why are you back? The Ministry of Rites has sent someone to urge you. If you don't set out, it will be a bad time." Han Cui said.
Han Jian thought that many officials in the court are now unemployed, and those in the Ministry of Rites do not have to be responsible for sacrifices and teaching good things on weekdays.
"Yes." Han Jian nodded, "Where is the second lady?"
"Your second mother went to His Majesty's bedroom." Han Cui looked at Han Xu and said, "It's not good if you get married so much, it's not good if you don't go to His Majesty to ask for an order."
Han Jian nodded. He understood what Han Xu meant. Although the queen was not there now, in order to cover up, everything was still as etiquette as the queen.
Han Xu said again: "Tomorrow, you will take the newly married Princess Dong to meet His Majesty, don't forget."
Since the queen is here, it should be that she should take the Princess Dong to see the queen. However, Han Jian is a little confused about whom he brought. Yang Ronger and Gu Xiner were both married by him. It is a rule to take Gu Xiner with him. But if Yang Ronger is left, Han Jian always feels that he owes Yang Ronger something.
The wedding continued as usual, and the guests were almost there. Han Jian also embarked on the road to welcome the bride.
The East Prince's Mansion welcomed the bride was a major event in Jiangdu. Martial law was imposed along the way, and soldiers escorted Han Jian all the way to the new Gu Mansion. Fortunately, the East Prince's Mansion was not far from the Gu Mansion, and it did not have much impact on the people's travel.
When he arrived in front of Gu's mansion, firecrackers were lit up. Gu Xin'er was wearing a red wedding dress and a veil. With the help of the matchmaker who was temporarily recruiting for the numbers and his mother Gu Song, she walked to the door and entered the sedan chair with a short body.
After the wedding, the blowjob and beating officially began. People all came to watch along the way, and some also wanted to ask for some rewards. The Dongwang Mansion had already prepared for Han Jian on the way to welcome the wedding. Copper plates and even fine silver were sprinkled along the way. Many children jumped out of the cracks of soldiers, and were dragged back by people.
The whole journey was very lively. As the team moved, the team watching the people behind also followed, so the wedding brides were surrounded by crowds.
Faced with this situation, Han Jian was a little worried. Because the people of the Dongwang Mansion were enthusiastic, the Dongwang Mansion did not intend to drive away the onlookers, but too many people came this time, which not only affected his wedding, but if the assassin was infiltrated, it would endanger his and Gu Xiner's safety.
Han Jian was thinking, and suddenly felt a gloomy murderous aura approaching. This murderous aura seemed to have been hidden for a long time.
When Han Jian reacted and looked around, the murderous aura had already surrounded Han Jian from all directions.
"Be careful!" Han Jian shouted violently, and the small arrows around him were already shooting towards Han Jianxian like rain. Han Jian turned over and dismounted, first dodged some small arrows that were shot, and then hid behind the horse's belly, using the horse's body to block the next batch of arrows.
Han Jian had just landed and his body stabilized, and the second batch of small arrows shot towards him like rain.
As the horses fell to the ground and the onlookers fell down, the whole scene was in chaos. The originally lively and festive bride-welcoming team turned into a turtle in the jar and was beaten as a target.
Han Jian is located in the middle of an empty road, and there is no place to cover except the horse's belly. If this continues, no matter how fast he reacts, he will be shot into a hornet's nest by a small arrow. Han Jian doesn't care about who is going to kill him at this time. The most important thing he is to save his life at this moment. At this time, what he has to do is to find the thing that covers his body first.
Han Jian's martial arts have not been abandoned over the years, but he has never advanced or retreated. Faced with so many small arrows, he could only hide based on his feelings. Before he could take a few steps, he felt a pain in his legs and his calf was shot by the small arrow. Han Jian was in pain and walked less quickly than before.
"Protect the prince!"
The soldiers escorted came from all directions, thinking that they had shields to protect Han Jian, but because there were many small arrows and they came from all directions, it was difficult to avoid them, and many soldiers were also shot down. By this time, Han Jianxing had already lying around him with arrows, either unable to move or had died. The whole street seemed as tragic as the Avici Hell, and blood could be seen everywhere.
Soon, soldiers rushed into the surrounding buildings, and the number of small arrows dropped sharply. Han Jian was able to block the arrows shot by his sword. Han Jian was hit by the arrow on his leg, and he was unable to move, but he still fought and retreated. He originally wanted to get close to Gu Xiner's sedan chair, but he also understood that these assassins were going to kill him, and most of the small arrows were shot towards him. When he went to Gu Xiner's side, he not only could not relieve Gu Xiner's trouble, but would bring danger to Gu Xiner.
"Han Jian had to temporarily dodge behind the wooden boards of a stall next door, and use the wooden boards as cover to block the small arrows.
The board was not too high, and Han Jian was injured on his leg, so it was too difficult to squat down. So he simply sat on the ground and tried to pull out the arrow.
As soon as Han Jian sat down, he felt someone coming. Han Jian raised his sword and was about to stab him, but with a "clang", Han Jian's long sword intersected with the weapons of the visitor. Han Jian's life hurt and the sword fell to the ground.
"What are you doing?" The visitor shouted, but it was not a killer, but Ke Qu'er, who Han Jian had not seen for many days.
At this time, Ke Qu'er was just an ordinary peasant woman outfit. Such a dress would not be too eye-catching when walking in the crowd. She wrapped her head in a headscarf and couldn't help but come if she didn't tell the difference carefully.
"It's you?" Han Jian was angry at first. He originally thought that Ke Qu'er was asking someone to shoot arrows and assassinate him. But when he thought it was unlikely that even if Ke Qu'er's master Zuo Gu wanted to kill him, Ke Qu'er's silly look would definitely stop him.
"What is me?" Ke Qu'er frowned, looked at the small arrow on Han Jian's leg, and a look of unbearableness rose on her face, "Are you injured?"
As he said that, Ke Qu'er squatted down and also came to the back of the wooden board. He wanted to get close to Han Jian, but Han Jian signaled her not to get too close.
Ke Qu'er looked at Han Jian with grievance. Han Jian turned around and looked outside. Although he was hiding in a mess, he didn't care about anything else when he was saving his life. It was worth it to be so embarrassed that he could live.
At this time, the small arrows outside no longer shot, and the fight in the surrounding buildings continued. Han Jian looked at him and no one else came, so he felt a little relieved. He turned to look at Ke Qu'er and asked, "Who is coming to kill me?"
"I don't know." Ke Qu'er said poutingly, as if he was a little angry, "I don't know the kindness of a good person. I'll save you. Why do I feel like I'm here to kill you? If I kill you, I will help you?"
Han Jian sighed, stretched out his hand and touched Ke Qu'er's face. Ke Qu'er's face still did not improve, and she looked angry.
Han Jian knew that girls had to coax them when they were acting like children. It was useless to say too much. So he pulled Ke Qu'er over and let Ke Qu'er get closer to him. Slowly, the expression on Ke Qu'er's face also stretched out.
Soon, the fight outside was basically over. Han Jian quickly struggled. He wanted to go over to see Gu Xiner's situation. Today was his happy day, but he saw Hong on the happy day, which was an ominous sign. However, he was not a stubborn person. At this time, he was more concerned about whether Gu Xiner was shot.
Han Jian turned forward step by step, and Ke Qu'er shouted behind him, "Where are you going?"
"Wait!" Han Jian didn't look back, but pointed back at Ke Qu'er's direction with his hand, "Let's talk about it if you have something to do." (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
