Li Chengli raised his eyebrows. King Qian married a woman from a lowly family background as his princess. It is said that many aristocratic families in the capital were in an uproar at that time.
There are as many marriageable ladies from various aristocratic families as there are crucian carp crossing the river, but he just chose the Xia family, who has a good family background but not a family background!
Until now, Li Chengli has not figured out that compared to family background, his aunt's family background is no worse than that of the Xia family. Compared with beauty, his aunt's appearance is naturally very beautiful. Compared with the Xia family, she is in the middle of the two.
Of course, another point is opportunity. When his aunt and his father met, his father's concubine was still alive.
If he had to sum up his aunt's situation in one sentence, it would be that she was born at the wrong time and did not meet her father at the right time, so she could only be a concubine for the rest of her life.
It’s really frustrating to think about it!
Aunt Sun stared at Wang Jia who was parked not far away and asked, "Just now did Xia family enter your father's Wang Jia?"
Li Chengli stretched out his hand and pinched the little cheek of his daughter who was lying on the car window. After listening to his aunt's question, he said calmly: "She is the princess of my father. Isn't it normal to enter his palace? This is also useful."
Are you jealous?"
Aunt Sun glared, "Is it because of myself that I'm jealous? I fight for you, not all for you. If I don't fight for you in the palace, then your family's status will be as low as a dog!"
A flash of cruelty flashed in Li Chengli's eyes, too fast for anyone to notice, but his voice was as gentle as ever, "Auntie, you should be more careful when speaking in front of children. Children should not be tainted by the filth between adults."
Aunt Sun's eyes were filled with embarrassment, and she threw down the car curtain to block the view of the outside world.
Li Chengli didn't need to think about it to know that she was sulking in the carriage. He calmly got on the horse and followed the team forward slowly.
When the team speed gets faster and faster, sitting in the carriage will no longer be a good experience.
After Xia Jing was thrown into the air for the Nth time, she couldn't bear it anymore and asked the carriage to stop so she could change carriages.
When she got on the horse, Li Chengmu, who was riding on the horse, laughed and said, "Concubine, have you experienced the suffocation of riding in a carriage this time?"
Xia Jing was not used to it. She raised her brows and said, "If you keep harping, believe it or not, I will throw you into the carriage and let my coachman switch with you. You will help me drive the carriage?"
"Uh." Li Chengmu felt that his mother-in-law was really amazing, and she immediately hit his mark.
Deep mountains and dense forests.
"Don't let me know who it is. How dare you plot against me behind my back? If you know who it is? I will definitely take my brothers across thousands of mountains and rivers to destroy his mother!"
Zhu Wei felt resentful when he thought about the hardship he had suffered this time. He took out five thousand brothers, but only three thousand came back. Not counting the injured brothers, he lost all his money!
Mazi took a breath and sat down holding his injured arm, "Brother, the man behind this is so vicious. All three of us have been tricked into it. This plan really kills three birds with one stone! All three of us have suffered heavy losses.
And only he will benefit!"
Speaking of this incident, Zhu Wei felt guilty and upset, "It's my fault. I shouldn't have been greedy. I went down the mountain and robbed twice, and I wanted to do it a third time. It only happened three times. I actually threw away this ancient saying."
The back of the head.”
If you are not greedy enough, if you catch one party and rob him again and again, something will happen one day.
Thinking of his narrow escape last night, Zhu Wei was still frightened, and he was secretly worried about the plan of the person behind it. When did such a great person appear in the territory of the Yu Dynasty, and he didn't even hear any news on the road.
Mazi told the news he had found out and analyzed: "The bandits who came down the mountain to join forces to rob us, not only us suffered heavy losses, but other forces also suffered a lot. I think they also hated the person behind the scheme.
.”
Wu Mie sat in a pile of thatch, pulled a piece of thatch at random, wiped off the soil from the root and put it into his mouth to chew. The sweetness of the root instantly soothed his irritable mood.
After eating up the sweetness from the roots, he sneered after listening to Mazi's analysis: "You think they hate the person behind the plot, then they have to know that someone is plotting against them. If they don't know, who do they hate?
I’m afraid they are all secretly regretting their misfortune.”
"This" Although Mazi had some opinions on Wu Mie, his words made it impossible for him to refute. What he said was indeed possible.
"Okay, let's continue on our way after we have had enough rest. The situation under the mountain is unknown these days. For safety reasons, we will temporarily stay in the cave to recuperate." Zhu Wei interrupted the conversation between the two and arranged for the others to return to the cave to recuperate. Mazi
Take people down the mountain to continue exploring the news.
Mazi covered his arms and stood up, "Listen to brother, some of my brothers have already dispersed. They will come back when they get the latest news."
Zhu Wei looked at the limping brothers walking in front and gritted his teeth secretly.
Back in the cave, Wu Mie followed Zhu Wei, "Brother, actually the biggest casualties this time are the refugees. Those who can survive this chaotic battle are all very skilled. Do we need to go down the mountain to recruit some brothers?"
This time they lost many brothers in the village. If they want to survive in this troubled world, how can they do it without enough force?
Refugees are their best source of troops.
"This matter can wait a little longer. When the supplies looted by the refugees are almost consumed, we can take action again." Zhu Wei had his own considerations. "When we run out of ammunition and food, it will be easier for us to extend a friendly hand."
Conquer people’s hearts.”
There are no brothers who share weal and woe, and if a large number of people are brought in, good or bad fortunes are unpredictable, so they have to be cautious.
"Princess, these are the statistics compiled by the housekeeper." Hongmei placed the two ledgers in front of the couch in the carriage.
Xia Jing picked up the book above and quickly turned to the last page where the numbers were recorded. "Nearly 50% of the supplies were lost last night, and not even a tenth of the water carriages were left."
Hongmei frowned slightly: "The main reason is that the water tank is easily broken. If it is slightly bumped into the water tank, it will break, and the water inside will naturally be scattered."
Xia Jing looked at another account book. This one mainly recorded the situation of the team members. The most casualties in the melee last night were untrained slaves and tenants who came from the farm.
Due to their quick response and early evacuation last night, the casualties of these unarmed tenants and slaves were not large, but nearly 20%.
Twenty percent had little impact on the team, but Xia Jing also had the same idea as Wu Mie, and wanted to strengthen her team by absorbing some young adults from the refugees along the way.
Of course, she couldn't make the decision on her own.
Thinking of the big boss in the team, Xia Jing asked the coachman to catch up with Wang Jia.
When the two maids saw her, they were relieved. The princess finally knew how to take the initiative to get close to the prince.
"Your Majesty, this is the carriage of the princess."
Anu opened the curtain a little, allowing King Qian to see clearly the carriage that was catching up behind him.
King Qian frowned slightly and pushed away the maid who could have fallen on top of him even if he poured tea, "What is she here for?"
Want to make him angry again?
Anu waved his hand to the maid to move away, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this road is full of bumps. I'll ask the driver to drive slower to avoid bumping you."
King Qian was noncommittal and stared worriedly at the chasing carriage.
Silence is acquiescence. Under Anu's considerate arrangements, Xia Jing entered Wangjia.
