Two days later, Tang Jiusheng and Du Ruo rode their unicorn horses and caught up with the team led by Shui Ruyue and Ximen Yushuang in Caoyang County, Zhongyuan Road. Shui Ruyue and Ximen Yushuang were living in the city with this team of fifty or sixty people.

Fifty miles away, Xiaoqing led Tang Jiusheng and Du Ruo to the Cao Ying Posthouse. The postmaster He Shanwei came out and asked, they were riding a unicorn horse together. It turned out to be King Wei and the princess. At that time, they were so frightened that they peeed and fell to the ground.

.

Tang Jiusheng jumped off his horse and shouted to He Shanwei for a long time before he dared to stand up. He kept his smile on his face tremblingly, fearing that the prince would go crazy if he didn't entertain him well.

The Cao Ying Posthouse is neither big nor small. It has received countless officials from the county magistrate level to the next. Last night, it was the first time that it received a princess of this level. The postmaster, He Shanwei, was so anxious that he was sweating all over his face when he saw the two princesses.

, for fear that his poor hospitality would offend the princess and put her life in jeopardy.

The princess arrived and did not dare to wait patiently. He Shanwei hurriedly led the waiters to vacate the best rooms in the post house, and entertained them with good wine and food. Fortunately, the two princesses had surprisingly good tempers and treated the post guards and waiters well.

He was very kind, and He Shanwei breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, the King of Wei arrived again. How could He Shanwei not be nervous?

However, the prince was not harsh with his servants, nor did he make any excessive demands. He just brought the plump princess to meet the two princesses who came yesterday. What made He Shanwei secretly surprised was that the three princesses got along well with each other, without any inconvenience.

Not being jealous, He Shanwei secretly praised in his heart that this prince has a good way to control his wife! It's a pity that he didn't have the chance, otherwise he would have to ask the prince for advice.

He Shanwei thought of the yellow-faced woman in his family, and couldn't help but sigh. If he glanced at any beautiful woman while walking on the street, she would overturn the jealousy jar when he came home. It really made him lose face. But there was nothing he could do.

Ah, that yellow-faced woman's family background is very strong, and she has the support of her mother's family who is the county guard. She has every reason not to take her husband, a boy from a second-rate powerful family in Caoyang County, seriously.

Cao Ying's Posthouse is located next to the official road. It is a renovated four-entry courtyard. Now the main and side rooms of the main residence have been given over to the prince and his party. Even the east cross courtyard is filled with the prince's entourage. There are more than twenty postmen.

Busy back and forth with the waiters, and entertaining several other officials passing by, everyone was exhausted. Fortunately, when those officials heard that King Wei was here, they could only go in to pay their respects, and did not dare to make trouble here.

Postmaster He Shanwei was busy outside. A man wearing a royal guard uniform came in hurriedly from outside. He Shanwei saw that this man was a guard of the royal palace. He didn't know which palace he came from. Anyway, no matter which palace it was, he was a small person.

You can't afford to offend the postmaster! He Shanwei nodded and bowed, with a smile on his face, "Sir, which palace did you come from? What business do you have here?"

The guard looked at He Shanwei's clothes and sighed, "Are you Yi-chang He? I'm the guard of Prince Pingxi's Mansion. I'm here to see Princess Wei Ximen Yushuang. I have something important to tell you, Yi-chang He, please help me.

Convey! I'm waiting here!"

As soon as He Shanwei heard that he belonged to Prince Pingxi's palace, he couldn't afford to offend him, so he quickly asked the waiter to bring tea and water. He rushed in and reported to King Wei and Princess Wei inside. He Shanwei knew that the sister of Princess Wei Ximen Yushuang was Princess Pingxi.

If something important happened, there was no need to delay it! He Shanwei went in to report the news, but the guard of Pingxi Palace was restless and sighed, as if something terrible had happened.

Tang Jiusheng was chatting and laughing with Shui Ruyue, Ximen Yushuang, and Du Ruo in the living room of the main room. Shen Xiaoyu stood aside. Others were sitting, but she stood, feeling dissatisfied but not daring to say anything.

Suddenly, Lu Fangping, who was responsible for guarding outside, asked loudly: "He Yichang, do you have anything to ask to see the princess?"

Everyone in the room clearly heard He Yichang say: "Your Majesty, there is a person outside who claims to be the guard of Pingxi Palace. He said that he has something urgent and wants to see Princess Wei Ximen Yushuang. The young one just came in to report the news. Please do it for me. Convey this to the prince and the princess, I wonder if the prince and the princess want to see this person!"

Ximen Yushuang was a little surprised when she heard that the guards of Prince Pingxi's Palace wanted to see her in an emergency. Prince Pingxi's Palace was almost two thousand miles away from here.

Want to see her? Could it be that my sister has also come to Zhongyuan Road? Ximen Yushuang stood up and walked to the door and said loudly: "He Yichang, please bring him in to see me!"

He Yichang agreed, and quickly went out to call the guard in. The guard followed Yichang He to the living room of the main room of the inn, met Tang Jiusheng and the three princesses, knelt down on the ground and kowtowed respectfully, "Little The Pingxi Palace guards Song Qinghe, sees the thousand-year-old King Wei, and sees the three princesses!"

Tang Jiusheng nodded and said with a smile: "Your princess and my Shuang'er are sisters. They are not outsiders after all. Get up and talk! Xiaoyu, bring him a chair!" Shen Xiaoyu was dissatisfied and pouted. , brought a chair over, and angrily placed the chair in front of Song Qinghe.

Song Qinghe stood up and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry for you! Who is this? The prince and the princess are both here. Where can I find a seat for you? It's better for me to stand and feel more comfortable!"

Ximen Yushuang smiled and said: "The prince asked you to sit and talk, so you should sit and talk, otherwise the prince will be unhappy if you are too outgoing! Song Qinghe, you came to the post house to find me in a hurry, but what do you, the princess, have to do? thing?"

After hearing what Ximen Yushuang said, Song Qinghe had no choice but to thank the prince and the princess, and sat slantedly on the chair. He sighed before he even opened his mouth, "Hey, Third Miss Mingjian, who says it's not the case!" She is the third among the sisters, so everyone in the Ximen family calls her Third Miss. Song Qinghe has always been responsible for guarding Princess Ximen Yuxue of Pingxi, so it is not surprising that she follows Ximen Yuxue and calls Ximen Yushuang Third Miss.

It turned out that more than a month ago, King Yin Ao of Zhou said that he was about to celebrate his fortieth birthday, and sent an invitation to Pingxi King Yin Quan. Yin Ao's birthday must be organized with great fanfare, and Yin Quan did not want to be charged with leaving the fiefdom without authorization, so He asked Ximen Yuxue to represent him and bring gifts to Caoyang County, Central Plains Road, to congratulate Yin Ao on his birthday. He also sent escort commander Yu Dongzhi with six guards and fifty soldiers to escort the birthday gift.

Only then did Tang Jiusheng remember that when he first entered the Zhongyuan Road a few days ago, he took the wrong road, walked to the abandoned official road, and killed several horse bandits. Those horse bandits had said that there were a large number of horse bandits on the official road these days. Officers and soldiers were sent out to check on suspicious people, saying they wanted to welcome Princess Pingxi, so they couldn't find a suitable place to attack on the official road, so they came to the abandoned official road to try their luck, and fell into the hands of Tang Jiusheng.

At that time, Ximen Yuxue came to Daozi Junzhou in the Central Plains, but Tang Jiusheng didn't pay attention and missed it. Ximen Yuxue brought Yin Quan to give a birthday gift to Zhou Wang Yin Ao, a pair of golden peacocks, and tribute from the South China Sea. Yin Ao was very happy and accepted the large ruby ​​​​and some other gold jewelry. Princess Zhou Hong Zhiqian and Ximen Yuxue felt like sisters at first sight, and they chatted happily.

Unable to resist the warm welcome, Ximen Yuxue stayed at Prince Zhou's Mansion for three days, and after three days, she was ready to go back home. Yuan Qingchun, the commander of the guards of Prince Zhou's Mansion, and Yu Dongzhi, the commander of the security guards of Prince Xi's Mansion, also hit it off immediately. Yuan Qingchun

Every day he took Yu Dong to the Yiyi Building in Caoyang County to drink wine and sleep with the oiran. The rest of the guards were also arranged to be in the Yiyi Building. There were women waiting on him every day. He couldn't help but miss Shu.

Yu Dongzhi also once had doubts about Yuan Qingchun, "Commander Yuan, my prince sent me to protect my princess. I don't see the princess every day, and I only spend time in the brothel. Isn't it not good?"

Yuan Qingchun laughed loudly, "Brother Yu, when you come, please be safe! Your mission is to protect the princess, but Prince Zhou's Mansion is an absolutely safe place. Who do you think is drunk and dares to go to Prince Zhou's Mansion?

Come to act wild? My princess and your princess hit it off right away. We have already asked your princess to stay in our palace for a while. She will naturally call you when she leaves. You don’t have to worry. Just drink, eat and fuck women in peace.

Rejoice!"

Yu Dongzhi was right when he thought about it. Who is crazy enough to come to Prince Zhou's Mansion to act wild? Anyway, the Princess and Princess Zhou were very happy chatting together, so he didn't have to worry about it. When he was about to leave, the Princess would naturally notify him.

Himself. Therefore, Yu Dongzhi and Yuan Qingchun and others visited brothels and drank flower wine every day.

Who would have known that all of this was planned by Duan Yuepo, the great counselor of the Zhou Dynasty. Duan Yuepo, also known as Jingsheng, was the most important counselor of Zhou Wang Yin Ao.

One day, when the five princes met at Pingxi Palace for an alliance, King Yin Ao of Zhou met Ximen Yuxue. Seeing that Ximen Yuxue looked like an immortal, he was so lost that he didn't even think about food or tea, he just wished he could succeed.

Duan Yuepo, who knew Yin Ao's thoughts, gave Yin Ao a bad idea. He invited Yin Quan and his wife to come under the pretext of holding a birthday banquet. Yin Quan was afraid of the clause in the vassal regulations that the vassal king was not allowed to leave the fiefdom without authorization.

, will definitely not come in person. Duan Yuepo bribed people around Yin Quan and gave Yin Quan advice to ask Princess Ximen Yuxue to come to celebrate his birthday on behalf of King Pingxi. Yin Quan didn't know it was a plan, so he happily sent Ximen Yuxue to bring him.

Come with gifts to congratulate Yin Ao on his birthday.

She happened to fall into Duan Yuepo's trick. On the first three days, Princess Zhou Hong Zhiqian received Ximen Yuxue. On the fourth day, when Ximen Yuxue was about to return home, Yin Ao planned to transfer Hong Zhiqian away and told Ximen Yuxue about Hong Zhiqian.

In the Queyue Pavilion of the palace, Ximen Yuxue wanted to take Ximen Yuxue to see Hong Zhiqian and say goodbye to her. Ximen Yuxue believed it and followed Yin Ao to the Queyue Pavilion, but was put under house arrest by Yin Ao.

Outside, Yuan Qingchun, the guard commander of the Zhou Palace, led Yu Dongzhi and others to live and drink every day, but they were not allowed to see Ximen Yuxue. Poor Ximen Yuxue was imprisoned in the Queyue Pavilion by Yin Ao, and was yelled at every day.

The ground is not working, Yin Ao threatens Ximen Yuxue to obey him, but of course Ximen Yuxue refuses.

Yin Ao sneered and said: "Ximen Yuxue, I tell you, this rebellion is a serious crime that will destroy the nine clans. Even if Yin Quan is the prince, he will at least confiscate his house and destroy his family! If you don't obey me, I will kill Yin Guang in anger.

Surrender yourself and accuse Yin Quan of treason. If I surrender, my life will naturally be saved. But your Yin Quan family will not have such a good life! Let me tell you, I will do anything to get you!"

Ximen Yuxue was frightened and frightened, fearing that Yin Ao would really expose the rebellion, and everyone would die! She could only swallow her anger and make a three-part agreement with Yin Ao. Yin Ao promised that as long as Ximen Yuxue was willing to obey him, he would never get his wish.

It was revealed that Yin Quan wanted to rebel, and he agreed and released Ximen Yuxue three days later. Ximen Yuxue had no choice but to endure the humiliation and obeyed Yin Ao.

Unexpectedly, Yin Ao just used a trick to deceive Ximen Yuxue. Apart from asking his confidants to bring food to Ximen Yuxue every day, he did not let her go. He lied to Zhou Princess Hong Zhiqian that Ximen Yuxue had returned to the Southwest Road. Hong Zhiqian

There is no doubt that more than ten days have passed. Yin Ao comes to Queyue Pavilion every day to have private meetings with Ximen Yuxue. Hong Zhiqian is still kept in the dark.

Or when Yu Dongzhi was drinking with Yuan Qingchun one day, he mentioned Ximen Yuxue again, saying that he hadn't seen the princess for more than ten days. Yuan Qingchun's tongue was so big from drinking that he accidentally let it slip.

"Brother Yu, I'm afraid you don't know that my prince goes to sleep with your princess every day. It is said that your princess Ximen Yuxue is almost forty years old, but she is more tender than a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old!

"

Yu Dongzhi woke up from the drink. After thinking about it, he understood in his heart. No wonder he called us guards out to drink wine every day and got drunk. It turned out that there was something fishy here! But Yu Dongzhi also

It is clear that if they fall out directly, King Zhou Yin Ao will definitely be ruthless and kill all of them. After all, they are on the territory of King Zhou. To fall out with King Zhou is to seek death. What should he do?

When Yu Dongzhi was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, he heard someone drinking wine in the restaurant accidentally mentioned that Princess Wei was as beautiful as the moon, and Ximen Yushuang and his party came to the post house outside the city, but did not go to Prince Zhou's Mansion.

When he met the King of Zhou, he must have some quarrel between the King of Wei and the King of Zhou. Another person retorted that it was impossible, the King of Wei went to the Prince of Zhou's Mansion to borrow the royal flag more than 20 days ago, and the King of Zhou personally sent it ten miles outside the city! If there is a quarrel, there will be a meeting.

Like this?

Everything else comes second. When Yu Dongzhi heard the words Ximen Yushuang, he was like a savior falling from the sky. He quickly called Song Qinghe and told him the whole story in detail, asking him to find an opportunity to escape.

Let's go to the post house outside the city to see Third Miss Ximen Yushuang for help. Except Third Miss, no one here can save our princess now!

Song Qinghe then found a way to get the Zhou Palace guards who came with him drunk, sneaked out, got a fast horse and ran to the post house to ask for help from Ximen Yushuang.
