Chapter 2573 Please return the princess to the country
"More than fifty, which sects are they?"
The Holy Blood Messenger was sitting in the Guiyuelou Inn, looking at the street scene outside, and asked calmly.
"Basically all the sects that the Holy Envoy has seen have joined."
"Kill those who don't want to surrender. It's very clean."
The woman reported softly.
The Holy Blood Messenger met many people, some of whom had a good relationship with Long Chen, such as scholar Li, Hong Xiao, Ling Fengzi, and Hua Die.
He always sends people to keep an eye on those that he thinks may have problems.
Once abnormalities are detected, eliminate them.
"That's enough, we want experts."
"How is the situation in Xixia? How are the preparations going?"
The Holy Blood Messenger was still looking at the street with a calm expression.
The woman replied: "We are all ready. We will take action as soon as Long Chen gets married here."
The Holy Blood Messenger slowly closed the window, smiled, and said, "We must prepare some congratulatory gifts for the Regent's wedding. This is etiquette."
"Okay, you go ahead and wait at Wind Roar Valley."
The woman bowed and said, "As you command."
.
Qielan Kingdom, Langu.
The cool wind blows through the valley, and the people of Qilan are working in the valley.
The Qielan people were very happy when the land was divided, and everyone worked hard to cultivate it.
Tian Liang stood on the high platform in the middle, looking at the working people around him and drawing pictures in his hands.
Ji Xianxian introduced northern farming techniques and seeds, allowing the people of Qilan to sow the seeds.
Soon, the first harvest will arrive.
At the mouth of the valley in the east, a horse quickly climbed up to the palace in the north.
A messenger went up the mountain with the latest information about the north and delivered it to Ya'er.
Ya'er took the information and entered the dormitory. Ji Xianxian, with a big belly, sat behind the desk and reviewed the memorials of various ministries.
In the past, each ministry sent people to Zhugu to report every three months, but now it has been changed. Each ministry sends a memorial every half a month and pays homage once every three months.
"Madam, information from the north."
Ya'er put the information on the table, Ji Xianxian immediately opened it, and Xiaoqin leaned over.
"What's the big pervert doing lately?"
Xiaoqin really wanted to know Long Chen's situation.
After unfolding the letter, Ji Xianxian felt a little disappointed after reading it.
I had known that Long Chen would marry four princesses, but after hearing the news of the wedding, I still felt uncomfortable.
"The big pervert married four princesses at once."
Ya'er stuck out her tongue in displeasure.
Ji Xianxian put away the letter, sat blankly for a while, and said, "Prepare a gift and send it to the capital."
Ya'er pouted and said, "Giving a gift? I don't want to give it."
Ji Xianxian smiled and said, "We didn't even give him a gift when he was getting married. It seems that we are too ungrateful."
"Besides, he is the king of Zhou Dynasty, so it is only natural that he marry the princess of Zhou Dynasty."
"After all, I'm the one who stepped in, right?"
Ya'er looked at Ji Xianxian's bulging belly and said unhappily: "Even if I give birth to a son in the future, my eldest son will be in Qilan and not in Dazhou."
Xiaoqin suddenly said: "Yes, madam, when the big pervert becomes the emperor, we will let the prince fight for the throne."
They had already guessed that Long Chen would proclaim himself emperor, so they said this.
Ji Xianxian suddenly smiled and said: "It makes sense. Prepare a big gift and let Hua Zixi of the Qianlong Hall of the capital attend his wedding."
With Ya'er thinking like this, she happily prepared gifts.
.
Dingxicheng.
Shi Jingxiang rode to the city gate, where soldiers were checking passers-by.
Because Tang Guolong and Puxuan made trouble, the inspection here is very strict.
After the prefect Meng Luo returned to Dingxi City, he specially stepped up patrols.
"Stop, what are you doing!"
When the soldiers saw that Shi Jingxiang's appearance and temperament were different from ordinary people, they immediately stepped forward to intercept him.
When a captain next to him saw this, he immediately stopped the soldier and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, my subordinates are ignorant."
Shi Jingxiang had no expression on his face and rode into Dingxi City.
"Master Captain, who is she?"
The soldier was very puzzled, why didn't he interrogate this woman?
"I don't even know her. This is Princess Xixiaxiang."
The captain reprimanded in a low voice.
The soldier was taken aback and stuck out his tongue: "Oh, I know, the regent is in love."
The school captain angrily said: "If you don't want to live anymore, shut up. From now on, let me remember her appearance. Don't stop people randomly."
The soldier chuckled and said, "Remember, I must remember."
Shi Jingxiang went into the city and bought a roast chicken and a bottle of liquor on the street, then got on his horse and ate while walking.
She just came back from Yuncheng and used Gu insects to detoxify the corpse.
She doesn't care about her cultivation level or how long she wants to live. She just wants to die naturally as normal people do.
After experiencing the destruction of his country and his family, and the war between ghosts, Shi Jingxiang saw through it.
His taste buds finally returned to normal and he could taste all kinds of flavors in the world. Shi Jingxiang looked at the bustling streets and didn't know what he was thinking.
"Princess Xiang!"
Suddenly, a man knelt in front of the horse and shouted to Shi Jingxiang: "Princess Xiang, Xixia has established a legacy of more than three hundred years. Please restore the country to Princess Xiang."
Shi Jingxiang was startled and looked down at the man kneeling on the ground, feeling a little at a loss.
She thought she would be recognized and pointed out, but she never thought she would be asked to return to the country.
After Xixia was destroyed by the Zhou Dynasty, the people actually lived a better life.
The land formerly occupied by government offices and temples
The land was distributed to the people. Everyone had fields, food to eat, and the children they gave birth to were their own. In addition, during the disaster years, a large amount of rice and noodles were transported from Nanliang and the capital to Xixia. Even when fighting against the ghost tribe, Long Chen still
A large amount of grain was allocated to provide relief to Xixia, and the people's hearts had long been attached to the Zhou court.
At that time, only Shi Jingxiang was left in the Xixia royal family, and the recalcitrant officials were also killed.
There is absolutely no hope for the restoration of Xixia. Shi Jingxiang has never thought about this.
"Princess Xiang, it was not easy for Taizu to found the country. The Shi family has been inherited for more than three hundred years. How can it be ruined in one day?"
"The Crown Prince is still here, please ask Princess Xiang to take the lead. We are willing to fight to the death to restore the country."
The man on the ground cried and howled, causing the people around him to stop and watch. ??
"what's the situation?"
"That is Princess Xiang."
"I know, who is this on the ground?"
"I don't know, what is the restoration of the country? Princess Xiang is a woman, how can she restore the country?"
"Hey, I'm living a good life now, but I don't want to return to China."
"That's right, the taxes were as heavy as before."
"Humph, no matter what taxes, it's not your family's responsibility to have a son!"
"That's right, the lecherous monk is robbing the country, what nonsense Xixia, don't give up!"
Almost all the people on the street were watching the excitement, and few agreed.
"What are you doing, get out of the way, let's go, let's go!"
A group of people rushed over and immediately held down the man on the ground.
"Logging dogs, running dogs of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, you will not die well. We will definitely restore the country and revive Xixia."
The man yelled, and the officers and soldiers immediately blocked the man's mouth, dragged him away, and dispersed the onlookers.
Shi Jingxiang looked at everything in front of her in confusion.
The officers and soldiers glanced at Shi Jingxiang. No one took action or did anything. They just pretended that nothing happened and left with the man.
Shi Jingxiang's identity is very special. Everyone knows that she is Long Chen's woman. Meng Luo, the prefect of Dingxi City, specifically told her that no one is allowed to touch Shi Jingxiang.
After everyone dispersed, Shi Jingxiang came to his senses, shook his head and said with a smile: "Some people actually want to restore Xixia, why bother."
Riding a horse, Shi Jingxiang disappeared at the end of the street.
In the private room of the restaurant next door, two men slowly closed the windows.
"It seems that the princess has no intention of restoring the country."
A man wearing blue silk clothes and a donkey face without beard said.
Another man with a round face, small eyes and rosacea snorted coldly: "She is just Long Chen's plaything. She is no longer the princess of Xixia."
The donkey-faced man said: "Ma Yan has been captured and must be rescued."
The small-eyed man nodded and said, "Don't worry, we'll talk about it later and let him move around in the prison."
.
Capital, Fengming Palace.
Long Chen sat on the stove
Next, grind the tea leaves finely with your hands, pound the tea leaves into powder, and then slowly add it to the pot.
The empress looked at the memorial sent by Yu Fuguo and said: "Yufuguo said that 362 martial arts people have come to Yuncheng to detoxify."
The actual person in charge of Yuncheng is Yu Fuguo, and he is also responsible for preparing the poison and detoxifying it, so he reports it.
"There are only more than three hundred people. The number of people who have become half-ghosts in the world is at least five thousand, which is too few."
Long Chen poured three cups of tea. Miaoyin picked up one cup, took a sip and said, "It's a bit bitter."
Long Chen smiled and said: "It will be sweet after a while, it will be astringent first and then sweet."
Miaoyin feels it carefully and it is indeed sweet.
"What are you going to do? The wedding is coming soon, you can't run around."
"We can't take action before the time limit is up, lest we say the court is dishonest in its work."
The empress put down the memorial, took a sip of tea, frowned and said, "It's so bitter."
Long Chen said: "Xichang is trying to figure out the situation. As long as we figure out the situation of each sect clearly, we will start to destroy them when the time comes."
"The only thing that worries me is the news Feng He sent back. He said there seems to be a master behind it."
The empress put down the tea cup and asked: "Master control? What master? Which sect?"
She thought this master was a genius who suddenly emerged from some sect.
Long Chen shook his head and said: "It's not a sect. That person is very mysterious. Feng He couldn't find it."
"My guess is that the person who manipulated it is probably the same person as the one who committed the assassination."
The empress' face changed slightly: "The same one? Do you have evidence?"
Long Chen shook his head and said: "There is no evidence, it's all my guess."
Miaoyin was a little worried: "Your guess has always been accurate, just in case it is really that person."
The empress asked in confusion: "Until now, I have never figured out why the assassin committed the assassination?"
The assassination of the emperor had a purpose, either for revenge or to seize the country.
After going through all the possibilities, the empress couldn't figure out why?
Revenge for the ghost clan? Revenge for Xixia and Nanliang?
Long Chen said: "I think this assassin may be related to the Us Kingdom and the Blood Clan."
The empress asked: "You mean, this assassin comes from the Western Regions?"
Long Chen said: "That's what I guessed, but I don't understand what the relationship is."
Miaoyin asked: "Why do the assassins from the Western Regions control the martial arts in the Central Plains?"
Long Chen said: "This is easy. I asked them to detoxify, but they refused and wanted to fight against the imperial court. The assassin wanted to link up with Jianghu rebels and deal with the imperial court together."
"When the enemy countries in the Western Regions invade, they will respond within the Central Plains and cooperate with each other internally and externally."
This is easy to understand, Long Chen has figured it out a long time ago.
The empress asked: "Can you find the person behind it?"
