The current king of Xixia is not the eldest son of the former emperor, but the son of the imperial concubine and the former king of Xixia, Li Yuanhao.
When the Xixia king came to the throne, he was still young, so his mother, concubine and the prime minister acted as regents.
Once you take up power, it is not so easy to put it down. In ancient times, it was not uncommon for powerful ministers to assist the prince when he was young. Even today's official family in the Song Dynasty still has an Empress Dowager Gao who calls the shots, even though the official family is small.
He is now eighteen years old.
As the saying goes, if the name is incorrect, the words will not be correct. Xia Lord Yuan Hao has a young brother named Yuan Sheng. This man is ambitious and an important member of the clan. He has long been dissatisfied with the fact that all the power of Xixia Kingdom has fallen into the hands of his relatives. However, because of Xixia
The imperial court has long been controlled by the Crown Princess's faction, and the Crown Princess still controls the most elite forbidden army of the entire Dangxiang tribe, so he cannot change the situation.
Although Xixia was crowned king and founded the country, in fact it has not completely gotten rid of the nature of tribal alliances. Dangxiang is just the largest branch among the Xixia tribes. Compared with the Han people in the Central Plains, the internal structure of the Xixia people is much looser.
It stands to reason that Li Qiushui's military force is very strong, and Yipintang is almost her personal private army. In addition, she herself has profound martial arts skills. If nothing happens, it will be trivial to live for another few decades. In this way, Yuan Sheng will be in trouble for the rest of his life.
There is no possibility of turning over.
But the reason why an accident is an accident is because no one expected it.
Six months ago, an elite armored guard of the Western Xia Forbidden Army was attacked by the enemy and suffered heavy casualties. According to the memories of the surviving officers and soldiers, there were only two people involved in the attack. One chased and the other escaped, and one of them was suspected to be the imperial concubine.
Yuan Sheng understood what happened after just a little exploration, and he was immediately overjoyed: the knife hanging above his and others' heads for so many years was finally removed!
So Yuan Sheng immediately contacted the opposition forces of the central and rear parties in the DPRK and launched the slogan "Return power to the king", which set off a bloody storm in the Xixia court.
But the King of Xixia, Li Qiushui's precious son, actually chose to acquiesce to all this.
Although he may not know that doing so is equivalent to chasing away a wolf and devouring a tiger, but as long as there is a slight possibility of pro-government, he is willing to fight for it. It is not a bad idea to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and then profit from it.
In order to win over his uncle, he even chose to marry his daughter Princess Yinchuan to his own uncle's son. That is, let his daughter marry his cousin.
Although Princess Yinchuan was born in the palace, she was not the kind of princess from the Song Dynasty who was raised in a deep palace.
Although she was still young, she had been encouraged by Li Qiu Shui since she was a child, and she admired her royal grandmother, a hero among women. On the contrary, she was not close to her cowardly and incompetent biological father at all. As a result, she
How could he obey his father's words and marry someone he didn't like at all?
Therefore, she simply ran all the way to the Song Dynasty to find the Crown Princess under the cover of some forces loyal to the Crown Princess in Yipintang.
It's a pity that Li Qiu Shui only taught her martial arts, but did not teach her about the dangers of the world and the unpredictable nature of people's hearts. In other words, Li Qiu Shui didn't think she needed to be taught this at all - after all, in Li Qiu Shui's view, in this world, apart from senior sisters and senior brothers,
There is no one who can threaten you.
At this time, Li Qinglu was in bad luck. Her subordinates, who she thought were loyal, chose those who knew the current affairs as heroes. Not only did they leak her whereabouts, but they also plotted against her. Otherwise, with her own martial arts, even if
You can't beat them, but it's very easy to get rid of this group of people.
Jiuyi Taoist smiled ferociously and said: "Princess, you have a rich body, don't make a mistake! These gangsters are ruthless. Even if the princess chooses to commit suicide, hey... the princess should follow the poor Taoist back obediently, so as not to
Suffer.”
Li Qinglu's bare hands trembled even more violently. Thinking of that terrible humiliation, she couldn't help but feel sick.
"Shameless maniacs! You did such despicable and dirty things in our Song Dynasty! I will not spare you today!"
With a loud shout, Qiao Feng jumped down from his hiding place, like a big eagle landing in front of everyone.
In fact, given the position where Qiao Feng was hiding just now, he could have made a sneak attack, but he didn't pay attention to these people at all, and he didn't bother to make a sneak attack, so he took the initiative to show up.
All the killers were shocked: This big man suddenly appeared, and no one had noticed it before!
Qiao Feng is more than eight feet long. Even the tallest person in the field is half a head shorter than him. His strong and strong steel body stands in front of people, like a lion standing in front of a group of hyenas. The killers were showing off their power just now.
I was shocked by this momentum, and my momentum suddenly dropped by half.
Li Qinglu looked at the unknown man who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, her heart palpitated, and she unconsciously tightened the machine in her hand. She breathed a sigh of relief when she heard what he said next.
They shouldn't be enemies.
The leader of the Haisha Gang came to his senses from the shock just now. Although he was dissatisfied with the other party's interference, he was not a noisy little thief in the world. He did not know the details of the other party. Even if he had the advantage in numbers, he would not
Will act rashly.
He raised the sharp knife upside down, cupped his fists and saluted: "I don't know your surname, brother? Why do you want to meddle in this business? This business in the world is not something that your martial arts skills can interfere with! Don't break the rules."
Qiao Feng subconsciously wanted to tell his name, but then he thought about it. Now he didn't even know his own life experience. It was still unclear whether he was a Khitan or a Han. Speaking of it, he was really a person with no roots, no career, and no name.
A person without a surname.
As soon as he thought about it, Qiao Feng said loudly: "I have no name, I am just a passing traveler. Please, for my sake, please let this girl go."
Taoist Jiuyi said with a smile: "Brother, you are joking. This woman is extremely important to us. Today we have to take this girl back no matter what. I hope you will be noble and not interfere in this matter!"
Jiuyi Taoist raised his hands and bowed, but the moment he bent down, an arrow from his sleeve struck Qiao Feng's Tanzhong point on his chest with a sound of breaking wind.
The woman wanted to remind her, but how could she do so in time?
Seeing that the unknown man was about to die under the plot of the Nine-winged Taoist, a trace of ridicule flashed in the Nine-winged Taoist's eyes: It's not so fun for a hero to save a beauty!
Unexpectedly, the next second, Taoist Jiuyi's eyes almost popped out of his head.
Qiao Feng held the tail of the sleeve arrow with both hands, flicked his fingers, threw the concealed weapon aside, and said with a smile: "The concealed weapon technique is pretty good. But it's not top-notch."
At this point, how could Jiuyi not know that this big man had a big background? This scene reminded him of the experience of being beaten by someone a few months ago. His heart was beating rapidly and he hissed: "It turns out
Your Majesty has great skills, but you are ignorant!"
