The names of these two people symbolize an era in which the word fear was deeply ingrained into the bone marrow of surrounding nations.
Although the Liang Kingdom at that time was not as prosperous as it is today, its huge population, vast territory, millions of soldiers, and tens of millions of hectares of fertile land still frightened countless Xiao Xiaoxiao, and then they were willing to bow to Daliang.
Become a minister and pay annual tribute...
Among them...the most taboo was the name of Black Jinsi and his commander Zeng Ke, which really made these people frightened after hearing the news...
Uzang (Tibet)
It is located in the border area, the plateau is bitterly cold, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and it is often difficult to see a human being even if you walk for hundreds of miles. However, in such a borderland, there are no less than 300 chieftains (tribal leaders), large and small, and more than 40 people.
A living Buddha, he led his subjects and believers to kill each other and compete for pastoral areas all day long. Daliang Chaotang repeatedly sent officials to control the government, but with little success.
Therefore, Wang Tongyuan, who had just succeeded to the throne and had not yet changed his reign title, ordered Zeng Ke, who was only the deputy commander at the time, to lead five hundred black guards to Uzang to quell the rebellion...
Two years later...
Zeng Ke returns to court...
More than 200 chieftains who disobeyed the government order all died suddenly and mysteriously! Of the more than 40 living Buddhas, only three survived in the end... But not one of the 500 black guards brought by Zeng Ke was killed.
The chaos in Uzang has been put to rest!
After this battle, the whole world was shocked! Even the number of ministers who came to the court to congratulate was twice as many as in previous years!
And the living Buddhas and chieftains who were lucky enough to survive were also given a rule from then on, that is, they must go to Beijing for a meeting every two years!
It sounds like two years is not a very frequent time...
But from Uzang to the capital, it would take eight or nine months for ordinary people to walk even on horseback, not to mention the round trip.
In other words, they had just returned to Uzang from attending a court meeting in the capital, and they had less than half a year's rest before they were on their way to the capital again!
Damn...
This trick is really damaging...
But it really worked, and from then on there were no more fights between people in Uszang.
Shang Wuxie heard this story from her father when she was eleven years old. From that time on, she had always imagined that one day she would be able to form a secret army as powerful as the Black Jinsi.
force.
So how could she not be extremely excited to see her childhood "idol" today and be humble in everything...
"Chanruo, let's change this tea... go make a pot of Huangshan Maofeng!"
"yes!"
At this moment... Yan Bing, who was holding the tea bowl and sipping gently: "..."
Bai Mao, what do you mean?! Give me differential treatment, right??
"Your Highness Princess...teawan..."
"Oh! Oh! Okay!" Yan Bing hurriedly handed the tea bowl to his mouth again. Unexpectedly, Shang Wuxie directly said loudly: "Since Her Royal Highness prefers to drink scented tea, there is no need to change it!"
Just change our tea bowls!"
"yes……"
At this time, Yan Bing still had a kind smile on his face...
It’s just that in my heart: *@#%￥#*%#@%￥@*￥#!!!!
"I am deeply pleased to have the commander-in-chief visit me despite my busy schedule. I don't know..."
"Oh! Princess Qi is so polite. I am no longer a commander. Now I have no official title. I am just a commoner. Princess Qi can just call me by my first name..."
"Call me by my first name? How can I do this?" After Shang Wuxie finished speaking, he glanced at Yan Bing with a look of disgust, then returned to his dignified posture and continued: "Since you are the foster father of Her Highness the Princess, then I, concubine
If you dare, how about I call you uncle?"
"This...I'm so ashamed..." Zeng Ke raised his hands with shame, but saw that Shang Wuxie had already taken the tea bowl handed by the maid, raised it with both hands, and offered it up: "It's worthy! It's worthy.
Yes! This is how it should be according to seniority! Uncle, please have tea..."
"This..." Zeng Ke looked at the tea bowl that was being served respectfully in front of him. When he didn't know what to do, he could only look at Yan Bing...
Li Bing rolled his eyes out of the sky... Zeng Ke was slightly startled...
After much hesitation, Zeng Ke had no choice but to take the tea bowl and replied in a low voice: "Okay... I will follow Princess Qi... I will be gentle and respectful."
"Uncle, what are you talking about? I often hear the prince talk about his childhood past. He is similar to the late emperor and his mother and concubine. You also watched him grow up slowly. Even without the relationship of the princess, this uncle
You deserve it too!"
Huh! Flatterer!!!
Yan Bing was even more angry when he heard this. He picked up the tea bowl and took a sip! But the scent of scented tea, which costs only a few pennies per pound on the market, was outshone by the other party's Huangshan Maofeng.
It was covered tightly, and for a moment I just felt that the tea was getting more and more irritating...
But what she didn't expect was that what really made him angry... was still behind...
Shang Wuxie, who had just accompanied his "uncle" to drink tea, gently put the tea bowl back on the table and continued with a smile: "I just heard that my uncle said that he is now white?"
"Exactly..."
"With my uncle's talent and ability, and now he is in his prime, wouldn't it be unfair to just be a white man? Uncle...do you have the intention to join the Black Jinsi again? My prince will definitely welcome you with respect! I entrust you with the important position.
!!”
"puff--!!!"
As soon as I drank the imported scented tea, I was sprayed all over the place by Yan Bing!!
Why are you poaching me right in front of me!!!??
"Chanruo... Why don't you go and help Her Royal Highness clean up..."
"Yes! Yes!"
When the maid heard this, she quickly took out her handkerchief and knelt on the ground to wipe it. Yan Bing screamed in embarrassment and turned red...
"Give it to me...I'll do it myself..."
"How dare you, your servant, trouble Your Highness the Princess with your valuable body? Please wait a moment, Your Highness, the slave will be wiped right now..."
While talking, Chanruo wiped the tea stains off the floor in a few moments, then put away the handkerchief, stood up, and stepped aside...
Yan Bing couldn't help but stand up straight away and said in a deep voice: "Um... adoptive father... just sit with the emperor's sister-in-law for a while, and remember to tell King Qi what I asked him before.
,Daughter...I'll take my leave now..."
Indeed... looking at the current situation, her appearance will complicate the matter. Instead of continuing to interfere here, it is better to leave first.
Shang Wuxie wanted her to get out as soon as possible, so as not to let King Qi meet her and get "lovesick" again, so he stood up, cupped his hands and said in a loud voice: "Since it is not convenient for Your Highness the Princess to stay for a long time, I will not force it."
Yes, please forgive me, Your Highness, for being pregnant and having difficulty moving, so that I cannot see you off..."
Yan Bing smiled slightly, cupped his hands, and strode out of the hall and the door of the mansion without saying anything. Zeng Ke always looked at it and said nothing...
It was not until Yan Bing gradually walked away that Zeng Ke turned around and explained the purpose of his visit to Shang Wuxie who looked proud...
And Shang Wuxie... also in the other party's slow narration, from the dignified smile at the beginning, to the gradually distorted smile, and finally to sweating profusely and turning pale!! Before Zeng Ke could finish speaking completely, he started directly from
He jumped up on the chair and shouted loudly: "Chanruo!! Go and invite Her Royal Highness back!!!"
"ah???"
Chanruo was slightly stunned. After all, a moment ago she was still imagining how she would be rewarded for helping the madam humiliate the princess. But now the madam suddenly changed her mind and wanted to invite the princess back? This rapid change caught her off guard!
My brain shut down! I was stunned...
But Shang Wuxie was Shang Wuxie, and her bearing and brains could not be compared to that of ordinary maids. Seeing that the other party was still in a daze, she simply gritted her teeth, her heart went crazy, she stood up suddenly, lifted up her skirt... and straightened up
Big Belly chased him out!!
I chased from Prince Qi's Mansion to Gulou Street, and then I saw that thin figure in the crowd...
"Your Highness Princess——!!!"
Shang Wuxie was panting at this time, relying on the energy of his body to protect the fetus to hold on until now. His shout not only startled Yan Bing, but also attracted the attention of all the passers-by...
Her face was pale, one hand was stroking her lower abdomen, and the other was holding her lower back. In front of the people on the street, she knelt down on the ground with a bang and shouted loudly: "Concubine! Thirty-one people from the Dai Wang Palace! Thank you princess!"
Your Highness..."
After saying that, he bowed to the ground and burst into tears...
