The head of the military honors, the Duke's mansion, has twelve halberds standing in front of the door, which is majestic.
After changing out of his gold and silver-threaded tuanlong uniform and wearing only a moon-white Confucian shirt, a gold crown and a jade hairpin with green emeralds, Liu Hong's nobility could not be concealed.
When Jia Cong appeared again and accompanied Liu Hong into the British palace, those who had seen the prince's true face were all guessing about the family background of the handsome young master who was with Jia Cong. Such a handsome face.
There were several young men from military families in the crowd. Their expressions changed. After the surprise, they quickly returned to normal. They quickly said goodbye to others and hurried back home to tell their elders the news.
What is the hottest yet most cryptic news in the city these days? Isn’t it the prince’s marriage?
The Crown Prince suddenly arrives at the British Duke's residence. Isn't it clear who the Princess of the East Palace belongs to?
Liu Hong was forcefully dragged into the gate of the British Duke's Mansion by Jia Cong. What greeted him was not an incense-burning flower bouquet, but a dozen burly young men, lined up on both sides, guarding the armored old man.
As soon as Mr. Zhang stretched out his hand, the eldest grandson on the side handed over an unedged long knife.
When Jia Cong and Liu Hong were confused, the old man threw the long knife at Liu Hong. He subconsciously caught it and regretted it.
Because the old man chuckled and motioned for his eldest grandson to come forward.
"His Highness wants to marry the granddaughter of an old minister, who is the son-in-law of the Zhang family. If you want to be the son-in-law of the Zhang family, you must be brave and willing to fight...Klu, come and compare with His Highness the Crown Prince..."
Before Liu Hong could react, Jia Cong jumped aside instantly.
Good guy, Zhang Kruu is back in Beijing!
This guy is a fierce man that even his second brother Jia Lian cannot beat in person. In one-on-one combat, among the young men in Beijing, only his second brother-in-law Liu Xianglian can fight him.
Jia Cong immediately "changed the family", sold his good fourth brother without hesitation, squeezed behind Mr. Zhang, and whispered: "Sir, will Brother Kruu cripple our prince? Just take it easy!"
"An Xin, I just want your Highness to understand one thing. The daughter of the old Zhang family cannot be bullied. Even if she goes to the palace, the daughter of the Zhang family will be protected by someone. Moreover, Baoer girl has so many brothers, not only Her amulet will be a sharp blade for His Highness to kill enemies and protect the country in the future..."
My husband has always done things in a measured way, and he did this not to establish his authority in front of his future grandson-in-law, but more importantly to let the "love-minded" prince understand how much benefit the Zhang family would bring to him.
Among the rough men and uncles in front of us, which one is not a general who is good at fighting?
Oh, Zhang Cheng, the little carrot-headed man holding a wooden sword, is an exception. With his body and bones, he looks like a young version of Mr. Bao, and he is most likely to be a civil servant.
Although Liu Hong is not a weak scholar with no strength, he has practiced swords and boxing for several years, but how can he compare with Zhang Kruu, a fierce general who has chopped off the heads of Tatars?
After hearing what Mr. Zhang Yue said, his first reaction was to refuse, but Brother Mengjiang didn't give him a chance at all and just said "ridicule".
"I have been staying outside the Great Wall for the past few years, and I haven't seen His Highness for many years. How come His Highness has turned into a greasy-faced chick..."
"There are many rumors in the army that His Highness is both civil and military. Could it be that someone just spread the rumors to compliment His Highness?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, your highness has such thin arms and legs, I don't think he can even beat my girl, right?"
"Your Highness, is that okay? If not, I'll go talk to His Majesty and let the marriage go. I'm afraid that my sister will accidentally beat His Highness to death..."
Phew~
Jia Cong's ears twitched and he looked into the distance in search of the sound.
Behind the small bamboo forest on one side of the front hall, a red dress and light green skirt were exposed in the gap.
"Brother has been away for a few years, why did he come back with such words that can make people angry?"
"People say that the Zhang family is straightforward and brave. In my opinion, Zhang is a thoughtful and thoughtful person."
Daiyu shook her head, covered her mouth and laughed softly: "Sixth sister, brother Huang's face is red with anger. In Brother Cong's words, the last thing a man wants to hear is no..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Baoer's eyes were filled with ripples.
No matter how calm Liu Hong is, he is still a passionate young man in the final analysis. Stirred by Zhang Kruu's words, he held the long knife tightly with both hands as he was about to drop it.
He, the Prince of Great Xia, Liu Hong, also rode his horse and whip, held a long sword across the river, and beheaded enemy bandits!
You, Zhang Kru, are indeed very brave and have made a great name in the capital, but I, Liu Hong, have never been afraid and have never been weaker than others!
"When will General Zhang learn to use his words? My hands are very itchy today. Let's see how powerful the famous Zhang Kruu is..."
As he spoke, Liu Hong struck first, holding the long knife tightly in both hands, and rushed forward quickly.
Just hearing a clang, sparks suddenly shot out from the two men's swords.
Zhang Kruu, who didn't try his best, almost lost his sword. He really didn't expect that the seemingly frail Crown Prince would have such great strength.
Jia Cong knows Liu Hong's strength very well. He is definitely not as good as Zhang Kruu who has been in the army for nearly ten years. But if you underestimate him, you will definitely suffer a big loss.
Liu Hong, who trains with "Stupid Overlord" Xue Pan as his opponent every now and then, how can he be bad at boxing and kicking?
The Daibawang is also a bully. Xue Pan can't defeat Liu Hong without even using 70% of his strength. Zhang Kruu needs to use at least 75% of his strength.
When, when, when...
When Jia Cong recalled the scene of his sparring with Liu Hong, the two men had cut each other more than ten times. When Liu Hong lamented Zhang Kruu's bravery, Zhang Kruu was also surprised by the strength of the prince Liu Hong.
Damn it, the noble prince is practicing martial arts for nothing, and he is so good at it. How can he let his ministers fool around?
When did Beijing become so busy?
As he continued to fight, Zhang Kruu forgot the old man's previous instructions, used all his strength, shouted loudly, and slashed Huashan with all his strength.
Seeing that the long knife was about to hit Liu Hong's head, it was as steady as an old man... ahem, the usually calm old man started to panic, and while shouting to stop, he and his grandchildren rushed over to stop him.
But Liu Hong was not surprised, but smiled slightly.
Here we go, the force commonly used in the military but also practical to split Huashan...
I saw Liu Hong's feet change, he ducked aside lightly, blocked it with the long knife in his hand, and slid down while grazing Zhang Kruu's blade.
When Zhang Kruu wanted to put away the knife and strike again, he felt a cold feeling on his neck.
"General Zhang, you lose!"
Zhang Kruu was confused, the dozen or so young men of the Zhang family were confused, the old man was confused, and even Jia Cong was confused.
Fourth brother, you lied to me!
Didn’t you say that practicing martial arts is just for physical fitness? I’ve even practiced all the moves, and yet I’m still saying you’re not good at martial arts!
In fact, Liu Hong himself felt lucky. Zhang Kruu was a fierce general who could rush into battle and kill the enemy. If he hadn't been careless and only used common military moves, he really wouldn't have been able to move a thousand pounds in four ounces.
Who told Xue Pan to always use this move when sparring with him...
Zhang Kruu's eyes were distracted, but he came to his senses only after his old man patted him on the shoulder.
"I am arrogant. Your Highness is so brave and brave, I am ashamed of myself!"
Liu Hong threw the long knife to the soldiers of the Zhang family on the side, supported Zhang Kruu who bowed his hands, and said with a smile: "I know that General Zhang will let me go. I think back in the past, when Zhang Dalang defeated Jing in the Iron Network Mountain." The middle-aged and young man came out on top. The imperial grandfather said that the Kruks are fierce tigers, and the Zhang family has another British prince."
Liu Hong's words are really not soothing to people's hearts. Zhang Kruu and Jia Lian were once called the two heroes of the capital. Their strength is definitely the top among the second and third generations of Xun.
After Liu Hong warmed up the atmosphere, Zhang Yue greeted Liu Hong and walked to the front hall.
When Jia Cong saw the prince's trembling hands hidden in his sleeves, he knew that the handsome young man was exhausted and might be sore all night.
Perhaps it was the competition with Zhang Kruu that made Liu Hong's "love brain" sober. At least when talking to his husband, Liu Hong didn't say anything stupid. Instead, he promised the Zhang family a lot in his words. guarantee.
It happened to be noon, so the Zhang family would not let His Royal Highness go hungry.
The British Duke's Mansion is very different from the Rongguo Mansion. The banquet served in the front hall did not have any exquisite dishes. Instead, it used delicacies from the mountains and seas in the style of military meals.
In one word, the quantity is large and the food is full!
The basin-like plate is filled with various kinds of meat. In a bowl as big as a helmet, rice is piled high.
Jia Cong and Liu Hong looked at their bowls, which were filled with meat and vegetables, and looked at each other...
"Eat, martial arts practitioners, how can you succeed if you don't eat two bowls of rice per meal?"
The old man picked up the big bowl in front of him with a smile, and started to eat the food in his mouth.
A circle of calves began to use their chopsticks, and they finished half a bowl of rice. Jia Cong and Jia Cong looked at each other in shock.
…
The British Palace occupies a very large area, and there are not many flowers and plants in the courtyard. Instead, there are several martial arts training grounds filled with eighteen kinds of weapons.
Daiyu tried the Western sword in her hand. The sword was light and agile, and when it danced, it made the sound of a phoenix.
This was given to her by Mrs. Zhang, and Daiyu liked it very much.
Even if she hasn't learned the art of killing enemies yet, it would be great for her to dance with a sword.
She glanced at Jia Cong who was lying on the big bluestone, put away her sword, put her hand on his bulging belly, and rubbed it gently.
"You said, since you can't eat so much, don't eat. It's almost as big as Sister Feng's when she was pregnant with Qiqi."
Jia Cong burped and grinned: "It's not that I insist on eating, but it's the Zhang brothers who insist on competing with me. I can't take one bite at a time. I can bear this... burp~"
Daiyu couldn't help but laugh. When Brother Cong was in court, he often had a straight face like a little adult. Only when he was in front of her did he show his childishness.
She sat on the big bluestone and gently rubbed Jia Cong's belly. She could see the two people on the school field next door from a distance.
Zhang Baoer competed with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with bows and arrows. Dressed in red, she was as enthusiastic as fire. You could feel her unusualness from a distance.
She has been in the capital for a long time, and she has met many girls from the families of civil servants and military generals. This is the first time she has met a woman with both civil and military talents like the sixth girl of the Zhang family.
At least they were both girls from the Wu Xun family, and no one from the Ning and Rong families could draw a two-stone bow, and could compete with their fiancé's archery skills.
Jia Cong raised his head slightly and glanced in the direction of the school grounds.
"It's over. Brother Zhang really got it right. If the fourth brother wrongs the sixth girl in the future, I'm afraid he will be beaten to death in the palace~"
Pa~
Daiyu gently slapped Jia Cong on the forehead.
"Don't talk nonsense. If people hear about it, it will lead to impeachment by the imperial censor again. The sixth sister has a good temper. Daxia needs a queen like this."
Jia Cong lay down again, put Daiyu's hand on his stomach, and pushed it gently.
Through the thin summer clothes, he could feel the softness of Sister Lin's palms, and he moaned softly in comfort.
When Daiyu heard the sound, the tips of her ears became hot, but she did not avoid it deliberately and continued to rub Jia Cong's belly gently.
The big bluestone under the shade of the tree became a place where the two of them got close, whispering in the summer breeze, and discussing the future appearance of His Royal Highness's harem.
Perhaps with such a queen who is both civil and military, the flowers and plants in the royal garden will be more heroic.
…
The sixth girl of the Zhang family is the only girl among the children of the British government. She has eight brothers and seven brothers.
You can tell from the name how much he is favored, Bao'er Bao'er, isn't he the treasure of the old Zhang family?
Her mother was a talented woman who was famous in the south of the Yangtze River and was known as Master Shen. She was good at playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
His father, Zhang Sanlang, was highly skilled in swordsmanship. He raised his daughter as his heir since childhood, making Zhang Liu not only proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting, but also good at swordsmanship. She fought the prince in the school field. Hard to separate.
When Liu Hong left the British government, he gave Zhang Baoer a piece of warm jade carved with dragons and phoenixes that he had prepared early, and got on the carriage holding a brocade box.
In the spacious carriage in the East Palace, Jia Cong and Daiyu both curiously approached.
There were only three things in the opened brocade box, a sachet embroidered with gold and silver threads, a small porcelain bottle, and an unsealed letter.
Needless to say, the sachet was a token of love exchanged between the two.
The small porcelain vase was interesting. Jia Cong's sharp eyes saw clearly the small note attached to it.
"Huh? The injury was caused by a bruise. Fourth brother, were you injured by your future fourth sister-in-law?"
Daiyu suppressed her laughter and secretly squeezed Jia Cong's hand.
Liu Hong ignored Jia Cong, who was teasing him. After reading the letter in his hand, a smile appeared on his face.
"Sixth sister said that the elder of the Zhang family had rough hands and didn't know how to measure. He was worried that I might hurt my muscles and bones, so he asked me to go back and apply this special plaster..."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this is the sixth sister. Fourth brother, you were not like this when you came."
Liu Hong raised his hand and knocked Jia Cong on the head, blushing and said: "What do you call me if you don't call me Sixth Sister? Besides, the British government is a rare family that is loyal and close. My grandfather and old man are brothers in private. Isn't it right for me to call you Sixth Sister? Don't you also call me Fourth Brother?"
"Ah, yes, yes, what Fourth Brother said is right!"
Jia Cong winked, maybe he was convinced by your sixth sister~
Liu Hong blushed fiercely when Jia Cong teased him.
He turned his head, not wanting to see this kid's "hateful" expression.
"Imperial sister, I will have someone organize a polo meeting in a few days, and I will take you to play polo... The sixth sister said that she rarely interacts with the noble ladies in the capital. When the time comes, the emperor will also ask the emperor to introduce her sisters to the sixth sister. Get to know each other.”
"Tsk, tsk, tsk..."
Jia Cong made trouble again, and Daiyu glared at him.
"Brother, don't worry, this matter will be taken care of by me. But brother, you have to pay more attention. Sixth sister has already heard about the Phoenix Fairy girl. It is better to deal with this matter early to avoid long nights and dreams."
