Feelings of Heaven and Earth(36)

This hunting was of great scale. In addition to nobles and ministers, if they were willing to follow them, they would just follow. Therefore, the team set off early in the morning, and in the second half of the day, there were still carriages leaving the city gate in the evening. Woolen cloth.

The fourth princess sat in the carriage with Concubine Xiao, holding up the curtain and looking out, her eyes full of novelty.

Concubine Xiao covered her mouth with a handkerchief, "It's so dusty, what's there to see? You, please live in peace."

The fourth princess put down the curtain and glanced at her mother-in-law, "You are serious too! Something happened to the Lanling Xiao family, what does it have to do with you? Aren't uncles and the others all in the capital? The injured ones are not your closest relatives. They say they are members of the clan, But how many people are there in the Jin clan? If you were born in a direct branch, how could you become a concubine to your father who was just the imperial nephew at that time? What was your grandfather's identity back then? He was just a steward in charge of the mountains and forests in the head of the Xiao family. That is to say, you are good-looking, you live in the servant's room in that mansion, and you can always serve the mistress of the Xiao family, so this opportunity is given to you..."

"Shut up!" Concubine Xiao scolded, raised her hand, and slapped the fourth princess on the face, "You are not allowed to talk like that."

The fourth princess covered her face and looked at her mother-in-law in disbelief, "You hit me?"

Concubine Xiao looked at her hands, then raised her hands to touch the child's face, but the fourth princess hid behind her, "In your heart, the Xiao family is rich in wealth, and our Jin family are just savages born as hunters, right?"

"Nonsense!" Concubine Xiao looked outside in panic, and then yelled in a low voice, "What nonsense are you talking about? If your father hears it, it's okay! How old you are, how knowledgeable you are! As a princess, you look down on the Xiao family. That’s because you don’t know what the aristocratic family means. Do you know that the glory of the aristocratic family is the glory of the daughter of the aristocratic family. As long as the family is glorious, the daughter of the aristocratic family can be proud! As long as the family background is good, the daughter of the aristocratic family can be proud. No matter how many times you marry, you will be looked down upon by others... The Xiao family of Lanling is very virtuous and is not comparable to ordinary families..."

The fourth princess laughed and shouted: "Stop!"

what you do?

The carriage stopped, and the fourth princess jumped off the carriage. Concubine Xiao opened the curtain and called her in a low voice: "Where are you going?"

The fourth princess did not stop, and only replied: "My ancestors were just savage hunters, and they did not dare to share the same frame with your noble daughter. The royal family of Dachen cannot compare with the valve, but as a princess, I still have my own frame, no Concubine Lao is in my thoughts."

Concubine Xiao is so angry, what is this naughty kid saying?

The eldest prince frowned, reined in his horse, turned back, and asked his younger sister who got on the carriage: "Why do you want to get into your own carriage properly?"

The Fourth Princess opened her mouth to say what she was planning to say, but after thinking about it, she decided not to, and only replied: "Would you like to invite some gentlemen to come in the car to guess riddles and play chess?"

The eldest prince choked, bang! The mother and daughter must have been quarreling again. Don't you just want to invite the young man to play? Let's play!

He turned around and left on horseback. The fourth princess actually shouted from the car, "Zuo Balang, come and play chess with me!"

Zuo Balang is Zuo Chuandian's son, and he is an old man. He is well-behaved, white and tender. When the princess shouted in such a loud voice, he immediately blushed and looked at his father at a loss. Along with his brothers and nephews, Zuo Chuandian had a long face, but it was the princess calling, and it was just a child playing. How could he not be called? He had to wave his hand, "Go! Make way for the princesses!"

In full view of everyone, the handsome young gentleman got on the carriage of the fourth princess.

It was vaguely audible from the front. Emperor Wen Zhao coughed awkwardly, raised his hand to straighten his mustache, and then asked Lu Cheng in a low voice: "The youngest son of the Zuo family?"

yes!

"Do you look good?"

Good! Very handsome.

Emperor Wen Zhao nodded and said, "You like it...right? That's enough." After he finished speaking, he looked at the Fourth Master again and said, "Silang, you brothers are so stupid! How come no one invites a girl from another family to ride with you?

You guys, you can't be so shy."

The fourth master held the book in his hand and turned a page. "It's not as comfortable as riding a horse as in a car. How can I drag my girl with me and suffer the consequences?"

Emperor Wen Zhao was stunned and thought for a moment, "That makes sense!"

He moved towards Fourth Master again, "I heard that you and Tongtong... this... that... are quite compatible?"

"It's okay!"

"I agree with this matter. But your uncle from the Lin family...it's hard to say! You should pay more attention to your daily life. Smile more, and don't always wear black clothes...call the embroiderer later.

I’ll tailor some clothes for you and buy more... Don’t listen to anyone who says whose son is the most beautiful in the capital... Shiro is as good as anyone in dressing up!"

Fourth Master: "...Okay!"

Hey! Just obey!

It's hard to say whether he is better than others at other times, but on this journey, the fourth master will definitely win. Nowadays, when we are on the road, we can't pay attention to the road. Therefore, when everyone is looking down and dirty, the fourth master is too graceful.

Lin Yutong asked Han Siyuan several times to get on the phoenix chariot and have a rest, but in the end, this kid was really. No, in three days, that guy was dead!

As soon as he arrived in Fengning, Han Siyuan called to the eldest prince: "Brother, go take a bath!"

Where can I go to bathe? The camp hasn't been set up yet, but I just bathe in the river next to it.

Good guy, from a distance, we can see so many shirtless young men going into the river. Tongtong was looking at it with interest, when Fourth Master coughed from behind, Tongtong was startled, she immediately turned her head and pointed

By the river, "Did you see that mountain? The location of this paddock is not particularly good!"

Isn't that mountain on the map? You have to stand here to look at that mountain.

No! I have been in the carriage all the way, and I can’t go out for a walk. The key is that the camp has not been set up yet! She pulled the fourth master and whispered, "How about we go to the mountains to have a look... The water comes down from the mountains,

Shall we go to the mountains to wash ourselves?"

No! Qiuli is bathing in the mountain spring water, are you afraid of freezing to death? Fourth Master whispered: "Be careful, this trip is very dangerous! Your body, strength, and speed are not as good as before.

Don’t be too pretentious!”

Tongtong looked north, "Khitan?"

Fourth Master nodded, don't forget how the Liao Kingdom was established. The Later Tang Dynasty replaced the Later Liang Dynasty, which was replaced by the Later Jin Dynasty. The Emperor of the Later Jin Dynasty, Shi Jingtang, introduced the Khitan people into the Central Plains, and the prefect Liu Zhiyuan refused the Khitan people, and then the Later Han Dynasty was established. The Liao Kingdom

Its establishment began when Shi Jingtang introduced Khitan to the Central Plains.

Today's capital, because of Taizu's obsession, is still the capital we are familiar with. But for a long time in history, the capital was ruled by the Liao Kingdom. The capital of the Northern Song Dynasty was in Kaifeng, and the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty moved south.

, so, according to the historical trajectory, the Khitan is now a powerful enemy. Fengning is already on the border, that is to say, from the Khitan to the capital of Dachen, it can be reached by horseback in four days. There is a strong enemy on the side of the bed, who can

Really sleep peacefully?

Taizu seems to be fulfilling the emperor's promise to guard the country's gate, but this country's gate is particularly difficult to guard now!

I went out for autumn hunting, just on the edge of the Liao Kingdom. The capital was empty, making it easy to be a monster.

The aristocratic family is playing tricks and wants to kill people with a borrowed knife.

But Emperor Wen Zhao was also using his own tactics, using himself and the empty capital as bait to wipe out some internal disharmonious forces.

In such a dangerous situation, it’s a good thing you still have the heart to enjoy the scenery!

The second prince stood beside Emperor Wen Zhao and was also talking about this matter, "Tell your son to go back to the capital! The capital is empty... This is not appropriate at all."

Emperor Wen Zhao felt very annoyed: "My father has his own arrangements. You just stay here and stay with your mother and concubine."

No! Father, we can’t take risks!

The fifth prince stood on the side, "Father, my second brother is right, the capital is empty, and we are too close to the Khitan. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. If you do this, my son will be very uneasy!"

What a mouthful! Emperor Wen Zhao looked at the two of them and said, "Let's all go back to our respective camps. It's been a bumpy road for three days. You're not tired! Go back, I'm still busy."

The second prince and the fifth prince looked at each other with heavy expressions on their faces, but they still retreated.

When he came out, he saw the eldest prince standing outside. After the brothers greeted each other, the second prince said bluntly: "Brother, the eldest prince should persuade father."

"What are you advising father?" The eldest prince shook his head, "Father will take risks on himself, but he will not take risks on us."

The second prince whispered: "Wei Dingshan, the commander of the Royal Forest Army, followed him to Fengning. There are only city defense camps and infantry camps in the capital. Apart from these people, there are no more troops in the court. What I mean is that we will hunt tomorrow and return the day after tomorrow."

,Don’t stay here…”

The eldest prince glanced at the imperial tent and said, "Second brother, there are some arrangements that my father didn't tell you. That's because everything is 'secret'! Let's go and have a rest. I'm really tired."

He really left, but the second prince and the fifth prince left extremely slowly.

The fifth prince whispered: "Uncles Han and Lin, there has been no news since they left the capital. Who could have done those things to the aristocratic family? I'm afraid they will be back soon!"

The second prince frowned, "But is it right to place your own safety and life and death on others?"

The fifth prince shook his head, of course it was not right!

As the two of them spoke, they looked at the imperial tent with worry, but they couldn't bring themselves to say this anymore.

That night, the camp was extremely quiet.

The queen did not allow Tongtong to live alone, and had to share a tent with her. After the queen washed up, she put on her battle armor. When she was tired, she just leaned on the couch wearing the armor.

Tongtong was dressed in a horse riding outfit, pressed her acupuncture points, and pushed herself to sleep. She didn't know how long she had slept, but she suddenly woke up. She could hear the sound of vibrating horse hooves. This proved that there was a sudden movement of soldiers and horses.

She sat up in a hurry and saw the queen standing in the middle of the tent, wearing armor and holding a long sword in her hand. Seeing that she was awake, the queen smiled and said, "Don't be afraid! It's okay! It's far away. There are 20,000 horses, at least 100 meters away from us.

There are still thirty miles left. It’s raining again now, so we can’t move that fast. If we hurry up before dawn, the 20,000 people won’t be able to get there.”

Lin Yutong took a breath, 20,000 troops! But the imperial army brought out this time was only 8,000.

She simply stood up and said, "Mother, please go and sleep for a while! I'll keep watch."

The queen shook her head, "I'm not going to sleep anymore! I can't sleep. I used to fight with your uncle in the north and south, and I saw a lot of dangerous situations. Just get up and let's go to the big tent and guard your majesty."

good!

Lin Yutong grabbed his cloak and followed the queen to the royal tent.

It was pitch dark in the camp, so all the lights were extinguished. This goal was too obvious at night. As for the royal tent, the light could not be seen from the outside. It was a big tent made of fur, which could block the light.

The Imperial Guards guarded outside, and after seeing the Queen and Tongtong, they opened the curtain.

It was as bright as day inside, and many ministers had gathered. The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, and the eldest princess had already arrived. The three princesses were guarding the Queen Mother. Several princes and Emperor Wen Zhao were standing in front of the map, pointing on the map.

point.

As soon as the two people came in, they both looked over.

After greeting each other, the Queen Mother called Tongtong, "Come, come to the Ai family."
