After a long time, Cui Shiniang finally held back her tears under Li Min's persuasion.
At this time, Cui Shiniang became worried about Li Min.
"Your Highness, if you rescue me, this matter will definitely alarm the entire Tang Dynasty. Will it involve you?"
Once this matter is exposed, extremely serious consequences will await Li Min.
Li Min smiled and said: "Don't worry, Shiniang, this time, no one will notice us except you. And this time, only Yuanfang and I are here. Yuanfang is my brother.
Absolutely trustworthy.”
Although Li Yuanfang blocked her ears with cloth strips, she could not actually hear a word.
Li Yuanfang only regarded the King of Shu as his superior officer, and he was just a small guard commander.
But unexpectedly, His Highness actually regarded him as a brother.
Li Yuanfang's heart suddenly felt warm, and she couldn't help but feel the emotion that a scholar would die for his confidant.
Cui Shiniang felt a little relieved after hearing Li Min's words.
But he still asked: "Your Highness, but, but where am I going to go? The world is so big that there is no place for me anymore!"
Li Min smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, I will arrange for you to stay in Yizhou. In the past one or two years, you should go out as little as possible. When this matter cools down, you can show up. However, your name
But it can no longer be used and needs a new name."
Cui Shiniang looked at Li Min and said quietly: "Your Highness, Shiniang's life was given by His Highness. This is equivalent to Shiniang's new life. Your Highness, please give Shiniang a name!"
Li Min nodded slightly and said after a while: "Shi Niang, from now on, you will be called Yingying!"
Cui Shiniang said: "Thank you for the name, Your Highness."
"Well, Yingying, the space here is small, let's lie down and talk!"
Cui Yingying lay down obediently, and then looked outside through the glass next to her.
Only then did she realize that she was still underwater.
Vaguely, she could see the river grass on the bottom of the water and the small fish swimming around.
Cui Yingying couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Your Highness, are we still under the water now?"
Li Min smiled and said: "Yes, we are still under the water now. It is still morning, so we can't see clearly. By noon, we can see more clearly."
Cui Yingying couldn't help but asked in amazement: "Your Highness, what kind of boat is this? How can it drive underwater? Why don't we feel stuffy?"
Li Min smiled slightly and explained: "This kind of boat is called a submarine, and it is specially designed to travel underwater."
"As for the air, it has specialized pores that stick out above the water."
"This submarine uses electric energy and can travel underwater for a whole day."
submarine?
It was actually able to drive underwater. Cui Yingying couldn't help but marveled after hearing this.
It was not until evening that they came out of the submarine.
By this time, they had been traveling upstream for almost a day.
As soon as they landed, Cui Yingying saw someone on the shore to meet them.
Next, Cui Yingying followed Li Min into a luxurious four-wheeled carriage.
As for the submarine, of course someone will take care of it.
The carriage drove directly into a mansion.
The next day, Li Min and Cui Yingying both dressed up simply.
Li Min put on a gorgeous outfit, put a beard on his mouth, and his face turned darker.
After putting on some simple makeup, I felt like I was a completely different person.
The same is true for Cui Yingying, who quickly changed her appearance under the disguise of a maid.
Even if Cui Yingying's parents were in front of them, they probably wouldn't be able to recognize them.
Cui Yingying looked in the mirror, and the face in the mirror felt strange even to her.
This skill of disguise amazed her.
Next, they boarded the train in a high-profile manner and headed straight to Yizhou.
Such a high profile made Cui Yingying feel a little uneasy.
Now they are the target of public criticism!
Once someone discovers that she is with the King of Shu, she will be fine with it, but she will definitely implicate the King of Shu!
Along the way, Cui Yingying was worried, but looking at the King of Shu next to her, he was extremely calm and calm.
King Shu's calmness also infected Cui Yingying, making her feel at ease unconsciously.
At noon, the two of them arrived at Yizhou Station.
After getting off the car, the two boarded a luxury carriage again.
Then, go straight to Yizhou Food City.
Along the way, Cui Yingying discovered that Yizhou New City was almost occupied by luxury four-wheeled carriages.
Outside the busiest food city, there were even traffic jams at several intersections.
When the car drove three miles outside the Food City, there was no way to get in.
The two had no choice but to get off the car and walk forward.
It turns out that their outfits are simply ordinary in Yizhou New Town, and they are not conspicuous at all.
Yizhou New Town is simply a gathering place for rich people.
After eating in the food city, Li Min and Cui Yingying stayed directly in the hotel.
In the evening, a car came and took them directly into the Jiedushi's mansion.
There are so many tourists like them in Yizhou New Town that they are simply inconspicuous.
The two disappeared quietly without attracting anyone's attention.
When they arrived at the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion, the two got out of the car. Li Min directly led Cui Yingying out of the car and led her into a private courtyard.
Inside this single courtyard, there are thousands of purple bamboo poles, making it extremely quiet.
Li Min couldn't help but ask: "Yingying, this is the Purple Bamboo Garden. I don't know if you like it. If you don't like it, there are several other courtyards. I will show you."
Cui Yingying smiled and said: "Your Highness, there is no need to change. I like it here very much."
Li Min nodded, and then said to her: "Yingying, you live here temporarily, and I will send a few maids to take care of you. But in the past few months, you'd better not go out. After this period, I
I’ll make another arrangement. During this time, I have no choice but to aggrieve you.”
Cui Yingying smiled and said: "Your Highness, I am very satisfied to be able to live here."
"If it weren't for Your Highness, Yingying might have died. How could she feel aggrieved?"
"Your Highness, when she has nothing to do, Yingying wants to read a book to pass the time. I wonder if Your Highness can find some books for me?"
Hearing Cui Yingying's words, Li Min smiled slightly, and then said to her: "Yingying, there is a study here, you come with me."
Not long after, Li Min led Cui Yingying to the study.
After entering the study, Li Xin turned on the switch with a snap, and the incandescent lamp suddenly turned on, illuminating the room like daylight.
Hmm? Is this the kind of light used in submarines?
How could it be so bright?
It turned out that Cui Yingying had been captured and taken back to Cui's house before the wires were set up.
After that, he was put under house arrest by the Cui family and had no access to news about Yizhou. Naturally, he didn't know that power had been established in Yizhou.
Just now, she was sitting in a carriage on the street, and she was so nervous that she didn't even notice the street lights on both sides.
At this time, it was strange to see that incandescent lamps can illuminate the room as if it were daytime.
Next, Cui Yingying couldn't help but look into the study room.
I found that the study room was very large, more than sixty square meters.
There are bookshelves on three sides of the study room, and they are full of books.
On the side near the window, there is a Zhenguan table and Zhenguan chair.
On the other side, there are coffee tables and sofas.
There are also partitions in the study room, and there are probably beds in them, so you can rest in them.
Cui Yingying likes this place very much.
…
The news soon spread to Chang'an. After hearing the news, Li Shimin was extremely angry.
This is still within the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and there are actually thieves so arrogant!
How dare you even steal my woman?
More than a thousand bandits appeared in the Tang Dynasty?
Where did these people come from?
"Check! Check thoroughly for me!"
Li Shimin gave the order, and countless people immediately became busy with it.
But to the surprise of countless people, they found no trace of the existence of more than a thousand people.
According to what Lu Yong said, these more than a thousand thieves left on horseback.
So, with more than a thousand horses, there will always be clues left behind, right?
However, a large number of officers and soldiers searched the nearby area for dozens of miles, but found nothing.
Not to mention the marks left by horse hooves, not even horse dung was seen.
If there are a thousand horses, how can there be no horse manure?
Could it be that they still process horse manure on site?
Or put a bag on each horse's butt?
This is obviously impossible.
Not only that, they also checked passing ships.
But there wasn't even a suspicious ship.
At the docks dozens of miles in front and behind, the officials made careful inquiries.
But in the day before and after, there were no suspicious ships at all.
With nearly a thousand thieves, at least dozens of ships, or several large ships, would be needed.
But in recent days, there have only been ships transporting grain, and they are all old faces.
Or there were one or two scattered passenger ships, and there was no large-scale fleet at all.
And those scattered passenger ships together are not enough to carry so many people.
Not to mention, they have a thousand war horses.
Did these people fall from the sky?
Or did it pop out from the cracks in the rocks?
If it weren't for the guards of the Lu family and the Cui family, almost all of them would have been killed or injured.
There were only more than twenty people left, and all of them were injured. The leader, Lu Yong, was seriously injured, almost life-threatening.
If it weren't for these circumstances, they would all suspect that the Lu family was lying.
They had to intensify their search, but in the end, they still found nothing.
Finally, they had to report the results to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin was furious and flew into a rage, leaving many people with no protection.
However, no matter how you search, the final result is that these thieves disappear out of thin air, and no trace of their existence can be found.
In the end, this matter could only be left alone and became the biggest unsolved case in Datang.
However, Lu Yong and the Cui family finally escaped disaster and were not held accountable due to heavy casualties.
The twenty-one people who survived with Lu Yong were all secretly executed by Lu Yong after they returned to the Lu family.
At this point, only Lu Yong knows the truth of the whole matter.
In order to appease the emperor's anger, the Cui family and the Lu family drew closer to the emperor.
In the end, each family selected a legitimate daughter and sent it to the palace.
But this time, he entered the palace smoothly without any mistakes.
The Cui family and the Lu family are worthy of being big families, with scholarly families that have been passed down from generation to generation.
After the legitimate daughters of these two families entered the palace, they became very good at playing, playing, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Every move has everyone's style.
Therefore, she quickly gained Li Shimin's favor and was named Concubine Cui and Concubine Lu.
Cui Zhiji came to visit the Lu family, and Lu Yong accompanied him.
More than a month has passed, and Lu Yong's injuries still have not healed.
The main reason is that there are too many wounds on his body, a total of twenty-one wounds, from top to bottom, from front to back.
I hardly dare to sit during the day because there are two wounds on my butt.
But it’s impossible to stand all day long, right?
I can only sit on the sofa carefully.
At night, it becomes even more painful.
When sleeping, it's really not about lying down, nor lying down.
Lu Yong just wanted to have someone hang him up to sleep.
In his heart, Lu Yong simply hated those twenty-one guards.
Although they all died in Lu Yong's hands afterwards, Lu Yong was still angry.
Because sleeping or sitting will put pressure on the wound.
This also caused the wound to always crack and never heal.
But the good news is that the wound on his front has finally healed.
In this case, he could lie down and let the wounds on his back heal slowly.
When Cui Zhiji saw Lu Yong, he couldn't help being shocked.
Originally, Lu Yong was tall and burly, well, it could be said that he was a little puffy.
But now, the whole person has lost weight several times.
Not to mention skinny and bones, it's almost the same.
This month, Lu Yong can be said to have suffered a lot. Wherever he still had appetite, he naturally lost weight.
Seeing Lu Yong's appearance, Cui Zhiji couldn't help but ask: "Lu Yong, it's been more than a month, has your wound not healed yet?"
Lu Yong curled his lips and said, "I'm lucky to be alive, but my injuries are much better now. I believe it won't take long for me to recover."
Cui Zhiji curled his lips and said, "How cruel!"
Cui Zhiji's words could not help but shock Lu Yong.
Is this Cui Zhiji seeing something?
However, there was no flaw in Lu Yong's face.
"Yes, these people are all desperadoes, so cruel!"
Cui Zhiji sneered a few times, then looked at the serving girls beside Lu Yong.
These girls saw Cui Zhiji's eyes and walked out with great interest.
Cui Zhiji couldn't help but sneered a few times, and then asked: "Lu Yong, I wonder whose hands died in the hands of the three hundred guards of my Cui family?"
Lu Yong replied impatiently: "Aren't you talking nonsense? Didn't I tell you a long time ago that you died at the hands of gangsters? Why do you still ask?"
Cui Zhiji smiled slightly and said: "Lu Yong, you are really cruel! With so many people, you will kill them as soon as you ask."
"However, this matter is really thanks to you! If it hadn't been for this, I'm afraid both your family and I would be in a lot of trouble!"
"However, what I admire most is that Lu Yong hates himself so much. Look at the injuries on your body, tsk tsk, you are truly cruel!"
Cui Zhiji is known as the first person among the five surnames and Qiwang juniors. It goes without saying that he is smart and witty.
But Lu Yong is actually not bad, but usually Lu Yong uses his reckless character to hide his intelligence very well.
But Lu Yong did not dare to underestimate Cui Zhiji, and he was secretly frightened that Cui Zhiji could guess the truth of the matter.
But this matter cannot be admitted even to death.
Lu Yong couldn't help but said angrily: "What are you talking about? Why can't I understand a word? Don't you have a fever?"
Cui Zhiji couldn't help but sneered: "You don't know what I'm talking about? Huh! The guards of my Cui family are all only one in a hundred, with excellent martial arts, but many of them were killed with a single knife."
"And those more than a thousand gangsters disappeared out of thin air like falling from the sky. Can they fly?"
"Also, why were all the guards of our Cui family wiped out? Why are there still twenty-one of your guards of the Lu family who survived?"
"Tell me, where are those twenty-one guards now? How did they die?"
"Lu Yong, what's your purpose for playing such a trick? Tell me, how is Shi Niang doing?"
What?
Cui Zhiji actually suspected that he had killed Cui Shiniang?
Cui Zhiji's words made Lu Yong stunned.
Um, but if I were in Cui Zhiji's position, maybe I would think the same way, right?
But, how could I do such a thing?
I still want to know whether Cui Shiniang was rescued by someone!
And in this matter, I did it, and there were indeed flaws.
The biggest flaw was that he shouldn't have been so hasty and secretly dealt with the twenty-one surviving guards.
It should take a year or two to slowly find time to do this.
However, Lu Yong had been tortured unbearably for the past month, and his hatred for these twenty-one people had reached an extreme level, which made him have murderous intentions.
This matter has aroused Cui Zhiji's suspicion, and it seems that he wants to reveal some information to him.
After a long silence, Lu Yong said to Cui Zhiji: "Cui Zhiji, believe it or not, I really don't know where Shiniang is."
"That night, someone broke open the ship's wall at the bottom of the ship and rescued Shiniang quietly.
I searched for most of the night and found no trace.
I think the only one in this world who can do this is the King of Shu!
You know what happened next.
At that moment, if it were you, what choice would you make?"
Now, Lu Yong has admitted it in disguise. Those guards all died at his hands.
Of course, he didn't say it directly. I believe that with Cui Zhiji's intelligence, he would be able to understand what he meant.
He himself would never admit directly that he was the one who killed those guards.
Anytime, anywhere, in front of anyone.
Cui Zhiji looked at Lu Yong suspiciously, his expression still unbelievable.
"Is Shi Niang really not in your hands?"
Lu Yong said dumbfounded: "How brave do you think I am to do such a thing? I have no reason to do it at all!"
Cui Zhiji snorted coldly and said: "Shi Niang's beauty and wisdom coexist. What if you are afraid that after she enters the palace, she will be favored by the emperor and it will be detrimental to you?"
Lu Yong smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Cui is worrying too much. I can swear to God that I really did not do this thing. If not, I will be struck by lightning and I will never recover."
Cui Zhiji sneered: "Do you think swearing is useful? Do you and I believe the oath? I hope what you said is true, and you really didn't do anything to Shi Niang, otherwise, I will never spare you!"
After that, Cui Zhiji walked away.
After Cui Zhiji left, Lu Yong was also very distressed.
It wasn't that he was afraid of Cui Zhiji's threats.
But in his conversation with Cui Zhiji, he discovered that there were really flaws in what he was doing.
Now, he must find a way to make amends.
…
In Yizhou New Town, in Zizhu Garden, Cui Yingying was crying silently.
Li Min stood beside her and comforted her silently.
Cui Yingying cannot go out for at least half a year.
Li Min was afraid that she would be too lonely, so he would come over to stay with her whenever he had time.
This time, Cui Yingying cried because she heard that the guards of the Cui family and the guards of the Lu family were killed, and she was robbed.
When she first heard about it, Cui Yingying was still confused.
When His Highness rescued him, he only sailed a submarine. How could he lead more than a thousand people?
Where are the rivers of blood flowing?
Why did it end up like this?
If she didn't have great trust in the King of Shu, Cui Yingying would have doubted whether the King of Shu really sent people to kill people after saving her.
Cui Yingying is very smart, but she has experienced too little of the dangers of human nature.
At the beginning, she didn't think about the worst.
But it is conceivable after all.
In the end, she finally figured out that the guards of the Cui family and the guards of the Lu family died because of her.
This was all caused by her being kidnapped.
Thinking of this festival, Cui Yingying was very sad and couldn't help crying.
Li Min couldn't help but admonish: "Yingying, how can I blame you for this matter? This was all caused by Lu Yong's arrogant ambition. So, don't blame yourself anymore."
Cui Yingying sobbed: "But if it weren't for me, they wouldn't have died at all! It was all me who killed them. It was all me."
Li Min sighed, and then asked Cui Shiniang: "Yingying, in fact, you have already had the desire to die, right? What would you do if I didn't save you?"
Hearing Li Min's inquiry, Cui Yingying whispered: "If His Highness doesn't save Yingying, Yingying is going to, just..." before entering the palace.
Cui Yingying still had a trace of fantasy in her heart, hoping that the King of Shu could come to rescue her.
If the King of Shu had not gone, then she would have ended her life before entering the palace.
Hearing Cui Yingying's words, Li Min felt heartbroken and moved at the same time.
He couldn't help but hold her hand and said: "Yingying, you should think so. If you do something stupid before entering the palace, it will really harm the Cui family and the Lu family. Those who die at that time will
Much more than now.”
As a result, what Li Min never expected was that Cui Yingying became even more sad after hearing his words.
"Sure enough, it's all my fault, I'm an evil person!"
Huo, I might as well not say anything!
Li Min couldn't help but sigh: "Why didn't you say that they harmed you? If Lu Yong and the Cui family hadn't framed you, how could they have fallen to this level?" bdshare();
