In the eyes of everyone in the city of God, Youzhou Mansion is a bitter and cold place.
A remote settlement, a backwater.
However, when the motorcade arrived outside Youzhou Mansion, what they saw was a huge crowd of people and hordes of cars and horses.
The huge city seemed endless, with countless houses and a bustling crowd.
"I didn't expect Youzhou Mansion to be so lively?"
The cold chill of early spring has not yet faded away. Before the motorcade entered the city, we felt deeply at the prosperity of Youzhou Prefecture.
If it were the previous divine capital, they would naturally look down upon the liveliness of this remote and remote place. However, today's divine capital is much more deserted than before, so that when everyone saw such a lively scene in Youzhou Mansion, they felt as if they had returned to the divine capital.
generally.
"Why hasn't General Pingbei come to pick you up?"
The knight at the front of the princess's wedding team was the only high-ranking royal general accompanying him this time - Wen Guang.
Wen Guang is also the clan brother of Princess Anyang. Arranged by the elders of the clan, he came specially to see her off.
The whole journey was uneventful. Unexpectedly, when we arrived at Youzhou Mansion, we still didn't see Cao Su.
This made Wen Guang a little unhappy. After all, Anyang was also an imperial princess, and her status was much nobler than Cao Su's.
At this time, the news that Cao Su had been promoted to "General Zhenbei" had not yet come, and many people did not know that Cao Su had crossed over from the fourth rank to the third rank.
Rumble——
At this moment, the thick and messy sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the official road.
The ground trembled slightly, smoke and dust rose, and a cavalry team came galloping from the east.
Moyo is a cavalry team of a hundred people, all of whom are heavily armored cavalry wearing black armor.
Even if the horse is galloping towards you, you will feel like it is sweeping thousands of miles, and the momentum is extraordinary.
The cavalryman at the head hung a flag with a big word "tiger" written on it.
"It's Cao Su's Tiger Cavalry."
When people on the official road saw this, they quickly evaded.
As for Princess Anyang's wedding procession, it was too large and had been parked on the official road without any movement.
Seeing many cavalry galloping towards them, Wen Guang became furious.
He immediately flew out on his horse and shouted loudly: "Who trespassed on Princess Anyang's carriage?"
Anyang Princess Luan Jia?
Wen Guang's voice was thick and rough, filled with inner strength, and spread throughout the officialdom.
The galloping cavalry, led by Ma Chao, slowed down their sprint.
"叏lvlv~"
More than a hundred riders finally stopped in front of Princess Anyang's wedding procession.
The young general put down his mask, revealing a good martial arts aura.
"Fourth level realm? So young?"
Wen Guang narrowed his eyes slightly and saw at a glance that the young general in Cao Su's Tiger Cavalry team had reached the fourth level and was only one step away from the upper level.
Ma Chao reined in his horse, braked suddenly, and stopped in front of Wen Guang.
A general wearing a purple shirt and a bright silver armor looked quite imposing.
"Who are you?"
Wen Guang took a step forward and asked.
Ma Chao looked at the team before and after, thinking that the princess was getting married with a lot of style. He didn't know what the princess looked like. He had never seen a princess in his life.
These thoughts flashed through his mind, and then he raised his hands and said, "I am Ma Chao, the general of the army guard under General Zhenbei. I am here to take the princess into the city on the order of General Zhenbei."
General Zhenbei?
Wen Guang was stunned. When did he become General Zhenbei? Wasn't he General Pingbei?
Could it be that he sent the wrong team?
Wasn't it agreed that Princess Anyang would marry General Pingbei?
"Who is General Zhenbei? You are young, please don't trick me?" Wen Guang frowned and took two steps forward on his horse.
The horse he sat on was also a famous horse in the palace. It was half a head taller than an ordinary war horse. After sitting next to Ma Chao's family-owned horse, the two horses started to stir uneasily, inexplicably.
There is a sense of competition.
Ma Chao was also dumbfounded. What happened to these people? They had never even heard the name of General Zhenbei?
At this time, an adjutant next to Ma Chao stood up and yelled: "General Zhenbei Cao Su is a general of the imperial court who was personally conferred by the emperor. As an official of the imperial court, you don't even know General Zhenbei?"
"Asshole!"
Wen Guang was furious.
How dare a young adjutant speak such nonsense? When did Cao Su become the General of Zhenbei? They were all on their way, sleeping and sleeping in the open air. Who knew about this?
"How can you speak?"
Wen Guang shouted angrily and glared at the adjutant.
The adjutant's combat power was only at the seventh level of the Strength Realm, and he was considered a good player in the arena. However, in front of Wen Guang, a master of the royal family, he seemed a bit weak. He was intimidated by Wen Guang's momentum, and his face suddenly turned pale.
"I heard the general calm down——"
Just when Wen Guang was about to have a seizure, another voice came from the distance.
I saw two figures coming from the sky inside Youzhou Mansion.
One is a thin, wizened old man, and the other is a strong, middle-aged general.
The two came from the air, but it was actually the middle-aged general who flew over with the old man.
"Wang Qing?"
The faces of the acquaintances whom Wen Guang saw softened.
The wizened old man next to Wang Qing spoke softly and had a radiant face, which gave him a somewhat childlike appearance.
"My lords, don't be angry. General Zhenbei's marriage to Princess Anyang is a first-class happy event. Please don't make an unpleasant fuss." The old man spoke very gently and walked to the middle position between Wen Guang and Hu Qi.
As soon as the words were spoken, it was like spring breeze turning into rain, dispelling the inexplicable "hostility" between the two parties.
It can't be considered "hostility", but the Kingo Guards of the Harin Army have always put their eyes higher than their own.
This time I met the Tiger Cavalry under Cao Su, who were also very proud soldiers.
These days, Cao Su has been selecting young men of suitable age in the army to join the Tiger Cavalry, preparing to divide his bodyguards into Tiger Cavalry and Leopard Cavalry, which will be led by two young generals, Ma Chao and Shi Yong respectively.
After these two teams are formed, they will both be super troops composed of Qi-blood warriors.
Among them, there is still a small team of ten, and the length must at least reach the strength level.
So when two proud teams met, they were like two horses sitting on each other, Ma Chao and Wen Guang, and a confrontational mentality naturally developed.
Therefore, Cao Su also specially dispatched an elder in the city who was responsible for all wedding matters - Mr. Jiang.
Mr. Jiang is the patriarch of the Jiang family in Youzhou Prefecture. He is a highly respected person. After hearing that Cao Su wanted to hire him to host the wedding, Mr. Jiang readily accepted.
So the scene just happened, Wang Qing and Mr. Jiang appeared on the road to welcome Princess Anyang's team.
"Everyone, don't stay here. Follow me into the city quickly. Our general Zhenbei can't wait any longer."
Mr. Jiang was a good person, and in a few words he brought the topic down to business.
Wen Guang was dissatisfied that Cao Su didn't come to greet the imperial princess in person, which was a bit rude. But now the old man was so enthusiastic, and after smiling so much, he didn't have the nerve to get angry again, and just let Jiang stay silent.
He always leads the horse for him.
The originally stagnant procession of sending off relatives started to move again.
The mighty team marched towards Youzhou Mansion, which was close to Chichi.
The guards, servants, and maids in the team all looked at the city curiously.
If nothing else happens, most of them will have to live in this city for the rest of their lives, a strange place, a place they have never even heard of in the first half of their lives.
Strange places, strange people, strange accents, everything is full of unknowns.
After passing through the dark and lengthy city gate, the escorting procession entered Youzhou Mansion.
The entire streets of Youzhou Prefecture, after experiencing several devastations, are now being widened and renovated.
On both sides of the street are ancient and simple houses, some of which have obviously been specially heightened and reinforced. They stand several stories high, showing excellent craftsmanship.
After walking past the houses, we arrived at a huge square.
There are all kinds of shops near the square. The sounds of street vendors and the smell of cakes are endless. There are also some traveling buskers who perform specifically here.
This area is also the busiest place in the entire Youzhou Prefecture.
The carriage window quietly opened another corner, and the two young palace maids looked at everything in the city curiously. When they saw the candy seller's stall on the roadside, they couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
----------------------------
Zhenbei General Mansion.
The plaque that had been put up not long ago was replaced with a new one.
Just a few days after Cao Su was promoted to General Zhenbei, the clever steward took the initiative to change the plaque.
Once the plaque is changed, the general's mansion becomes even more imposing.
Pingbei and Zhenbei, that's the difference between fourth grade and third grade.
From the perspective of the third rank, it is also the third rank. Looking at the entire Qianyuan period, the third rank official position is already regarded as a senior official in the central government.
And Cao Su is only twenty-one years old this year, and his promotion speed is far inferior to that of some of the princes' sons.
Many people don't understand why Cao Su was promoted so quickly.
Strength is the only way for Cao Su to gain a foothold in troubled times.
After Princess Anyang arrived in Youzhou Mansion, Cao Su designated an area not far away as the residence for Princess Anyang before she got married.
This mansion was where Anyang stayed. The Jinwu Guards in the palace were responsible for guarding the safety of the princess, and Cao Su did not interfere.
On the afternoon of the day Anyang arrived at Youzhou Mansion, Cao Su put on his official uniform and went to the princess's mansion to see her.
"No, General, please come back."
At the door of the princess mansion, Wen Guang looked at Cao Su coldly.
However, Cao Su smiled nonchalantly and said to Wen Guang: "I have long heard that Brother Wen has great martial arts and is the most outstanding among the children of the royal family. When I saw him today, he was indeed extraordinary."
This is the first time Wen Guang and Cao Su have met. When the city of God suddenly changed, Wen Guang was a Jinwu Guard, but he was responsible for guarding the safety of the royal family. He had no chance to come to the main battlefield, but he was somewhat naturally hostile to Cao Su.
.
The original leader of the Yulin Army, Jinwu Hua Chao Shang, died in the hands of Cao Su, which directly led to a major change in the imperial palace's Yulin Army bureaucracy.
Empress Dowager Yan's younger brother Yan Da directly became the new Zhijinwu, while the children of the Wen family were obviously lower than the Yan family in the Yulin army.
Cao Su didn't know these things clearly, but Wen Guang had a clear conscience and naturally couldn't be polite to the man who had killed Hua Chao Shang.
Unexpectedly, Cao Su took the initiative to compliment Wen Guang, so that Wen Guang didn't know how to answer.
"If you have the opportunity in the future, let's discuss with Brother Wen."
Cao Su smiled. This Wen Guang was no more than the third level of the Talent Realm. Although looking at the entire Wen family, he might be considered relatively outstanding, but compared with him now, it was far inferior. Cao Su asked him to give him one hand
, he may not even be able to win.
Wen Guang heard that Cao Su had invited a battle. As a warrior, it was hard to lose his reputation, so he could only nodded silently.
Cao Su turned around and left, but he didn't stay at the princess mansion for another moment.
After Cao Su left, Wen Guang came to the backyard of the princess mansion.
In the backyard of the princess mansion, Princess Anyang still looked so quiet. She was dressed in white and sat under the tree.
Wen Guang sighed slightly. Although this clan girl was a princess, she couldn't even control her own destiny. She was traded directly to Cao Su by the Queen Mother like goods.
Everything about Anyang is good, but his temperament is a bit too cold.
He watched silently for a while, until Anyang suddenly turned his head, showing a blank expression.
"Princess."
"Brother."
Anyang's soft and cold voice was mixed together. Wen Guang couldn't help but feel pain in his heart and sighed slightly.
Anyang asked: "Is the general gone?"
"gone."
Wen Guang did not lie to Anyang.
Anyang nodded and said: "According to etiquette, my husband cannot be seen before marriage. This should be right, right?"
Wen Guang was startled. Is the reason why Anyang didn't see Cao Su actually because of etiquette?
To be honest, he himself didn't know much about this etiquette.
Once your strength reaches a certain level, you will sometimes ignore some rules, but if there is someone stronger to control you, then the rules will naturally come back to you.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Wen Guang smiled awkwardly, he was really incompetent in his role as a general who sent a bride.
Anyang said calmly: "Brother, I heard that General Zhenbei defeated Yun Zhengxin, the number one master in Youzhou. Is this true?"
"Ah this?"
Wen Guang and Anyang were not familiar with each other, but he did not expect that his clan sister would be interested in these world affairs.
The fact that Cao Su defeated Yun Zhengxin has long been spread throughout the world, and only those in the palace don't know much about it.
Wen Guang had already heard about it. On his way north, he heard almost all the news.
Anyang asked: "How strong is Yun Zhengxin?"
Wen Guang blurted out: "I have never met Yun Zhengxin, but I heard that he is the number one master in Youzhou, ranking thirteenth on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking."
No. 13 on the Dragon and Tiger List...
When Wen Guang said this, he was suddenly stunned. What did he promise Cao Su just now?
He didn't kill anyone on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking, but he agreed to fight Cao Su, who had defeated thirteen people on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking?
This Cao Su... Wen Guang couldn't help but roll his eyes, his mentality was a little broken.
"Thirteenth on the Dragon and Tiger Ranking, they are considered top experts in the first-level realm. Unexpectedly, Cao Su defeated even Yun Zhengxin. This means that Cao Su should have reached that level soon...
..”
Anyang muttered a few words to himself, but his voice was so low that Wen Guang couldn't hear him clearly.
Wen Guang felt distressed for no reason when he saw Anyang's devastated look, like a palace flower that had never seen the sun.

"Anyang, even if you don't meet Cao Su, you can still meet Cao Su's family."
After all, Wen Guang was the general personally selected by the Queen Mother to send off the bride, and gave Anyang a pertinent suggestion: "After all, in a few days, you will marry into their Cao family. It will be good for the future to meet their family members in advance.
"
Judging from the behavior of Cao Su today, this guy clearly doesn't care much about the princess.
Wen Guang was worried that Anyang would suffer a loss, so he made this proposal.
Anyang did not refuse: "Prepare some gifts for me, and I will go to Cao Mansion to meet them tomorrow."
