"Why did you marry to the Western Wei Dynasty?"
Su Wanshi, on the other hand, couldn't understand this operation. When it comes to the relationship between countries, there has always been a principle of "there are no permanent enemies and no permanent enemies."
Today I feel that the benefits gained are good and I call you brothers. Tomorrow I feel that I have suffered a loss and I will fall out and kill you mercilessly. Or, if it is more serious, I will send troops to fight a few battles first.
If something happens here and there is a marriage between the two countries, the first one will be unlucky first.
For any other kind of marriage, you can avoid it if you can. If you can't avoid it, your eyes will be blinded by crying. You will get married pitifully, feeling that you will be walking on thin ice for the rest of your life, with no hope, and you don't know when you will be unlucky enough to die. .
It is rare for someone to be willing to get married across the country.
Li Lin added some more boiling hot water to his and her bowls: "I don't know."
Su Wan exclaimed and laughed: "Is there anything else in the world that you don't know about?"
Li Lin didn't mind her teasing at all: "The world is so big and the world is so vast, there are so many things that I cannot know."
While he was talking, the convoy of the bride-to-be was slowly coming this way. Leading the way were six mounted guards, followed by a festively decorated float, and then followed by a long dowry procession. The dowry was carried in a carriage or carried by someone's hands, and it was a long and mighty piece.
Su Wan's eyelids twitched, and he asked Li Lin in a low voice: "They are going to have this big battle, nothing will happen, right?"
She had heard Li Lin say before that the bandits in Wuwu Mountain were very ferocious and could not be killed, so they were also called Wuwu Bandits. Even he himself was worried about her bringing people across the border. He was obviously not someone to be trifled with. of.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have come so far and worked so hard to come back to pick her up.
Li Lin lowered his eyes and said, "There is probably some solution. Let's see."
The two of them sat in front of the window and watched the wedding procession pass by. Then they sat for a while and then returned to the courtyard where they lived. As soon as they returned, news came. A subordinate came to report that the city was closed. No, I can't make it through.
"The city is closed?"
"It's said that there are people from the army, and they will go to suppress the bandits tomorrow. The outer city gate in Xicheng District has just been closed, and no one is allowed to cross the border."
Su Wan frowned: "In that case, we won't be able to leave tomorrow."
The Endless Mountains to the west of Endless City are all lofty mountains that stretch for an unknown length of time. Except for the official road that connects the two countries, there are no roads. Let alone a carriage or a horse, you can't go there. Even if I walk on my feet, I won't be able to walk for a month.
Moreover, there are many wild beasts in the mountains, and most people who do not follow the official path are killed in the mouths of wild beasts and become dinner.
Once the city gate is closed, it is impossible to leave.
Li Lin nodded. Su Wan felt strange and asked him, "Why did you suddenly say that you want to close the city gate and send out troops to suppress the bandits?"
The subordinate replied: "I heard that the Shui family asked the garrison to send manpower to suppress the bandits. The girl from the Shui family is going to marry to the capital of the Western Wei Dynasty."
"A girl from the Shui family?" Su Wan was even more surprised. "We met a wedding party at the teahouse today. Are they from the Shui family?"
"Madam, she is from the Shui family."
Su Wan asked again: "Who is getting married?"
The subordinate replied: "She is the youngest girl in the Shui family's generation, so she is called Shui Lingzhi. She is only sixteen years old this year. It is said that half a year ago, the Shui family discussed the marriage with the Wang family of Weidu and married the daughter of the Shui family. As the wife of the Wang family, now is the wedding day."
Su Wan vaguely felt that something was wrong: "The Wang family is ambitious."
Although she has never met the dignitaries of various clans in various countries, she knows everything that needs to be known. The royal family of the Western Wei Dynasty is the first clan to have authority over the imperial power of the Western Wei Dynasty. Even the queen is from their royal family.
Li Lin asked his subordinates: "What news came from Huifeng?"
The subordinate said: "There has been no news in the past few days."
Half a month ago, they received news that the Shui family had become wild-minded and unruly and needed to be dealt with. Li Lin sent a letter asking him to handle the matter.
Licheng has supported many clans and has its own rules. 10% of the clan's harvest is returned to Licheng and 30% is used to support the local people. It is set up in Shantang Academy and Pharmacy. If there is a famine, it will be used to help the people.
Also, people are not allowed to be enslaved. Even the tenant farmers of the farm can only collect a certain amount of harvest according to regulations, and cannot exceed the prescribed amount.
The Shui family has grown bigger and bigger over the years and has become one of the leading clans of the Lizhou Chamber of Commerce. However, these things are only superficial and have been abandoned long ago in private.
Not only did he not follow the rules, but his hands and feet were not very clean.
In this case, it is natural that he cannot stay.
Li Lin asked his subordinate to go down, and Su Wan said to him: "I always feel that something is not right about this."
Li Lin said: "The Shui family should want to rely on the Wang family to move up." At this point, he shook his head, "I am quite brave, but I am afraid that I will not have this life."
"Lizhou borders Pingzhou of the Western Wei Dynasty, separated by the endless mountains. The Shui family is one of the four leading families of the Lizhou Chamber of Commerce. Anyone with any sense in Dong Zhao will not allow this marriage to happen. It’s done.”
If the Wang family and the Shui family are allowed to marry, wouldn't it be like putting a knife on Dongzhao Lizhou, and we don't know when the knife will be inserted.
"The Shui family actually went to the garrison to suppress the bandits crossing the border. I'm afraid they would be brought to their doorstep by themselves and lead to their own destruction."
If he were the commander of the garrison, he would definitely kill this Shui family member first.
If it were another clan, they would be able to tolerate it, but this Wang family would definitely not be able to do it. The Wang family's wolf ambition is obvious, and they may be able to target the Western Wei Dynasty. When the time comes, they will target the Eastern Zhao Dynasty, and the Shui family will become an internal agent.
The family, the country, and the world are the most important, and personal life and death are nothing more than trivial matters. What's more, the Shui family is so unruly and has no brains. They dare to marry a girl to the royal family of the Western Wei Dynasty. They are looking for death themselves and cannot blame others.
Su Wan felt a chill in her heart. Thinking of today's red float, which was so red, she felt a little dazzling: "That girl from the Shui family..."
"I'm afraid I won't survive."
Su Wan's heart felt cold and she moved her lips, but she couldn't say anything. Although she was a little worried about the life and death of the flower-like woman, the struggle for power in the world was widespread. Once a war broke out, there would be countless casualties. Bodies lay everywhere.
The girl from the Shui family wanted to marry the royal family of the Western Wei Dynasty, but the people from the Eastern Zhao Dynasty wanted to kill her, so as not to cause trouble in the future and bring harm to the people of the world. There is nothing wrong with that.
In the end, it was the Shui family who was stupid, and she should not have stood in this storm, and she was innocent. However, in the eyes of everyone in Dong Zhao, the world, the army, and the people were the most important. Compared to these, she was dead. , but as light as a feather.
Even the Shui family will probably be liquidated.
Su Wan didn't sleep peacefully at night. In the middle of the night, there was a sound of footsteps, screams and noises on the street.
"Madam, wake up..."
