This "Master Yu" has been away for three days. These three days also gave Luo Xing a rare free time to deal with the affairs of the miscellaneous courtyard in the morning.
I left the city alone at noon and practiced martial arts in the valley outside the city. I stayed there all afternoon and came back in the evening.
He didn't go back if he had nothing to do at night. He stayed directly at the Xirong Envoy Courtyard and occasionally returned to his home in Tonggu Lane. He also wanted to know if someone was really following him.
Also, after all, the Imperial Court is the territory of the Xirong people, so although his practice of "Nine Transformations of the Mysterious Spirit" will not produce any special effects.
But it was just a precaution, so he was very careful at the Embassy House.
After all, the big secret of the "black clock" in my mind must never be known to outsiders.
…
The weather is getting colder.
The winter in this world is much colder and longer than that of Blue Star.
The great court meeting that happens every ten days is here again.
The main discussion at this meeting was the aftermath of the tragic defeat of the Great Zhou Navy in Yangzhou. Nanchu probably did not expect that he would defeat the powerful Great Zhou Navy, and had no plan to continue attacking in the subsequent war.
But even so, quite a number of the main battle generals of Southern Chu requested a battle one after another, and even took the initiative to attack after the Yangzhou Navy was defeated. For a time, the entire Jiangbei defense line was like a sieve broken through, riddled with holes.
Urgent documents from the front lines have been arriving in the capital like snowflakes in the past few days.
In just a few days, most of Yangzhou and Suzhou fell. The southern Chu army was directed towards Ningzhou, an important town in the southeast of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The governor of Ningzhou wrote three memorials in one day, requesting the imperial court to send reinforcements.
Emperor Yongxi ordered six battalions from the Beiya Imperial Army, totaling 30,000 people, and guards from neighboring states, totaling 100,000 people, to form the Southeast Allied Forces.
He worshiped Pei Hao, Marquis of Wu'an, as the general manager of the march on the Southeast Road and the commander of the imperial army. Yan Zhengliang, the general of Youweiwei, was the deputy general manager, and the third prince Ye Yuan was the supervisor of the army. The army immediately set out to rescue Ningzhou from danger and regain the lost territory.
There is another major event, that is, the matter that caused a big discussion among the people before about whether Princess Liuli will marry Xirong and make a marriage. This matter has come to an end.
Princess Liuli agreed to the marriage proposal of the Wolf Lord of Xirong, but she also made three demands. Only if Xirong can meet them will she marry the Wolf Lord of Xirong!
It’s marriage, marriage, marriage!
Say important things three times.
The first requirement is that after Princess Liuli marries the Wolf Lord of Xirong, the Wolf Lord of Xirong must canonize her as the Wolf Queen. If the child born in the future is a male, he will be the first heir and the heir apparent.
The second requirement is that in order to show the sincerity of the Wolf Lord of Xirong in seeking to marry Princess Liuli, the Wolf Lord must come to Luojing City in person to welcome the bride. According to the custom of the Zhou Dynasty, three matchmakers and six betrothals must be made, and all etiquette must be done.
The third requirement, which is the most important, is that after a hundred years as the Wolf Lord of Xirong, no matter who succeeds the Wolf Lord, Liuli, as the Wolf Queen, will not follow the "ugly" customs of the Xirong people, and the new Wolf Lord will inherit everything from the old Wolf Lord, including the Wolf Queen (
If the new wolf master is not born from the wolf queen), Princess Liuli can decide whether to stay or go.
These three requests sound reasonable and not forced at all. If the other party were not the Wolf Lord of Xirong, they would not need to think about it at all and could agree directly.
But for the Wolf Lord of Xirong, any one of the three conditions is a very difficult choice for him.
The ball was kicked to Xirong's side.
If the Wolf Lord of Xirong cannot accept these three requirements, then the marriage will naturally be abandoned. If Xirong wants to find excuses to provoke disputes, it will have to stop.
If the Wolf Lord of Xirong agrees to the three demands, there will naturally be a follow-up. Now it depends on how Xirong will respond.
The flower hall in the east courtyard of the Xirong Envoy Courtyard.
"The Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty is really bullying people. He put forward these three conditions because he clearly does not want Princess Liuli to marry my wolf master!" Deputy envoy Shang Chen received the news and angrily came to see Prime Minister Zuo Alehai.
Alhai chuckled, stood up and said with a smile: "Master Shang, please be patient. The Wolf Lord has already anticipated Zhou's reaction and response. If he refuses directly, it will be really difficult to talk about this matter. Now they don't have
We refused, but only gave us three embarrassing demands. This shows that the difficulties and pressures faced by the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty are much greater than we imagined. The Wolf Lord is talented and strategic, and aims to settle in the Middle Earth. The people of the Middle Earth
If she is to be ruled by Xirong, the princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty is just one of the beauties in the Wolf Lord's harem. If she is really capable, what's the harm in making her the Wolf Queen?"
"Do we really have to agree to Emperor Zhou's conditions?"
"The first and third requirements are understandable. We, Xirong, want to unify the mainland and aspire to dominate the Middle Earth. Some old habits must be changed. The inheritance and enfeoffment system of the Zhou people are very good. We need to learn and absorb it. As for the third
The two requirements are not requirements for ordinary people. Marrying a wife is what you should do. But for the Wolf Lord, if he comes to Zhou in person, it will be extremely dangerous. If the people of Zhou really have any ideas
If so, the consequences are hard to predict..." Alehai groaned slightly.
"Should Flying Eagle immediately send a message to the Wolf Lord to report the matter and ask him to make a decision?"
"This is inevitable. You should draft the document immediately and write it in cipher text." Alhai nodded. Even if Xin Li gave him the authorization, the report still needs to be reported. He can never make the decision on such a major matter without authorization.
of.
"Where is His Highness Xianyu?"
"I went to the Zhenwu Academy and went into seclusion when I came back."
"It seems that Your Highness Xianyu has gained a lot. We in Xirong will have another great master in the future, even extraordinary!" Alehai stroked his goatee under his chin with satisfaction and said with a smile.
Shang Chen nodded slightly. His Highness Xianyu and the fourth prince were from the same mother. The fourth prince was also gifted among all the princes. His mother's family was also a big noble in Xirong. After the death of the Wolf Queen, their mother was the most powerful.
Chance to be canonized as the Wolf Queen, but now...
"ah……"
A shrill scream came from the direction of Lianshe.
The expressions of Shang Chen and Alehai both changed. This was clearly the voice of His Highness "Xianyu". Could it be that they had gone crazy after studying the "Zhenwu Stone Tablet"?
This is no joke.
The two of them ducked at the same time and appeared in the lotus house.
"Hongying, what's going on?" Shang Chen asked eagerly when he saw Hongying holding his arms in front of his chest and guarding the door of Mr. Yu's room, refusing to let anyone in.
"Young Master's chronic illness occurs every month, but it's not serious."
"Chronic disease, let me take a look..." Shang Chen didn't understand the reason and raised his foot to rush in.
There was a flash of cold light, and Shang Chen felt a chill in his throat, causing him to take three steps back quickly. It was Hong Ying's shadow blade, asking sternly: "Hong Ying, what are you doing?"
"No one is allowed to enter without Young Master's order!" Hong Ying said coldly. She had just easily forced back a second-grade martial arts master.
"Brother Shang!"
"Yes, Lord Alhai." Alhai spoke, but Shang Chen did not dare to continue his attack.
"I know something about His Highness's chronic illness, but I didn't expect it to be so severe. Isn't there any cure in the world?" Alhai said. In fact, he was telling Shang Chen these words, because Shang Chen didn't understand them.
.
"No, this is a disease unique to women. It can only be alleviated but cannot be cured." Hong Ying rarely cooperated with Alehai to explain.
There was a hint of embarrassment on Shang Chen's face. He is also a well-informed person. It is a disease unique to women. It is really not suitable for him as a man to barge in without permission, let alone his different status.
"How long does it take, Your Highness?"
"Generally, it can be relieved in one or two days." Hongying hesitated and said. This attack was the most severe one she had ever seen, so she was not sure.
"Then is there anything we can do to help His Highness relieve his pain?" Shang Chen asked tentatively.
"No need, Young Master has long been... used to it." Hong Ying glanced at the room, paused, and said.
