Zhang Zhongliang: "It is not the law to leave without saying goodbye. It is not feasible to break the promise. It is not feasible."
Mary was anxious: "What kind of promise are we talking about at this time? You are already ready to go home. Can you really stay for a year? Furthermore, if you bid farewell to your father, if he doesn't let you go, you are asking for trouble."
Zhang Zhongliang was confident: "No, how could my father be so unreasonable? I must say goodbye to him in person, and I think he will agree."
Everyone shook their heads, helpless.
Zhang Zhongliang: "Prepare your horses. I will enter the palace immediately. You can prepare your luggage and set off tonight."
At night, a broken Xuan Yue hung high in the sky.
Everyone is ready and ready to go.
Zhang Zhongliang helped Mary to a corner where there was no one around. The two couldn't bear to be separated and said goodbye.
Zhang Zhongliang took off his jeweled dress and put it on Mary's body, and comforted: "Seeing this jeweled dress is like meeting your husband. Now you have to endure the pain of separation for several months. Within ten months, I will come to pick you up." .”
Mary nodded meekly.
Zhang Zhongliang looked at the bright moon: "Every time the moon is full, you and I look at each other from a distance, and you know my heart."
Mary grabbed Zhang Zhongliang and said, "Husband, I forgot one thing." She glanced at the saddle sheet outside the door and said, "Look, how nice it is."
Zhang Zhongliang had a clear understanding: "I don't know what to do."
Mary: "Just marry her as your concubine. What's the problem?"
Zhang Zhongliang: "No, people can't be half-hearted."
Mary: "She is completely obedient to you and would die for you. Where can you find a girl like this? Become obedient to me and make her your concubine. Together we can help you achieve your hegemony."
Zhang Zhongliang shook his head.
…
Just when Wang Erhan was trying to comfort the queen, Huangmen suddenly came to report: "Your Majesty, the prince-in-law has asked to see you and has something important to report."
Wang Erhan: "Invite him into the house." Then he sighed and said to the queen, "Look at how you can meet people when you are crying like a baby."
Zhang Zhongliang entered with the baggage in hand and sat down in the outer room to wait for him.
Wang Erhan changed his clothes and said, "The prince-in-law is coming to the palace at night. Do you have something important to do?"
Zhang Zhongliang: "To inform my father, the envoy from Nanzhao has arrived in Xiliao today. There is a letter of credence here. He also informed that the king of Nanzhao is seriously ill and asked the child to return to the country. He came here to say goodbye to his father and mother."
Wang Erhan frowned: "Oh? Where is the credential?"
Zhang Zhongliang: "The certificate of nationality and a letter with the tiger talisman seal are all here. I don't dare to be good at it, so I came here to return it in person."
Wang Erhan: "Well, this matter will be discussed in court tomorrow morning. You can go back first."
Zhang Zhongliang: "My child, please leave."
After Zhang Zhongliang left the house, Wang Erhan wandered around the room: "This matter is difficult!" He walked to the outer room and wanted to unpack the baggage.
The Queen rushed over, snatched away the baggage, took out a Tiger Talisman Seal Letter, and put it away.
Wang Erhan was very anxious: "Queen, you, aren't you distracting me?"
Queen: "You know how to be distracted and distracted, don't you and I know it? If it weren't for my wealth, I would have been destroyed by you. I only want to protect myself, and I can give you anything else. These hundred thousand vine armor The army is my life-saving straw, I can never give it to you."
Wang Erhan stamped his feet: "Here, this... Hi." He walked outside the house and told Huangmen: "Quickly, send the message to the Imperial Master. We have something important to discuss with you. I'll see you in the imperial study."
Wang Erhan and Qin Yong sat down to discuss countermeasures.
Wang Erhan: "National Master, a decision will be made at court tomorrow morning. What do you think should be done?"
Tan Yong twisted his beard and said, "There is no need to wait for tomorrow. Zhang Zhongliang will fly away tonight."
Wang Erhan: "No way?"
Tan Yong: "He must have made up his mind to bid farewell to you like this. How can he wait for you to have long nights and dreams?"
Wang Erhan: "What should we do?"
Qin Yong: "If you want to stop him, given his character, he will inevitably fight with each other and both sides will lose. In this case, it is better to be a favor."
Wang Erhan: "That's fine."
Zhang Zhongliang had already mounted his horse and said goodbye to Mary.
Shan Dan held Mary tightly and cried loudly, but was stopped by everyone and helped him to mount his mount.
Zhang Zhongliang, Weir Ning, Shan Shan and the five brave warriors Hao Tianlei, Wang Yihu, Wang Tianbao, Ye Piao and Xian Yongfeng were a group of eight people, a total of sixteen horses were transferred to prepare to set off.
Suddenly, dozens of lanterns appeared on the road ahead, and the sound of horse hooves came closer and closer.
Everyone was surprised.
Mary pulled out a sword from the waist of a guard, walked to the front, blocked everyone, and protected herself.
In front of the lantern, a man on horseback shouted: "Your Majesty, stay here, the imperial edict has arrived."
Everyone looked at Zhang Zhongliang.
Zhang Zhongliang had no intention of dismounting.
Zhang Zhongliang's handsome face showed vigilance, as if he was about to issue an order to attack at any time.
Huangmen shouted all the way on his horse: "Your Majesty, stay back, the imperial edict has arrived."
Zhang Zhongliang looked around and signaled everyone not to act rashly.
When Huangmen arrived at the door, seeing this posture, he knew there was a misunderstanding. Before everyone could dismount, he hurriedly read out the imperial edict: "Your Majesty's grace: The king of Nanzhao, the wise king, is in poor health. I am really worried about him and I can't sleep at night. I have sent four special orders today. Ten imperial guards accompanied the consort to Nanzhao to visit and say hello. They were also given a thousand taels of gold, five thousand taels of silver and a box of various jewelry. I ordered the prefectures along the way and wherever they went, to welcome me as if I were here in person, and to prepare good things at the post station. The horse must obey and must not be neglected.”
Boxes of gold, silver and jewelry were loaded one after another.
Zhang Zhongliang and Mary looked at each other, feeling greatly relieved.
Zhang Zhongliang dismounted, received the imperial edict, and saluted: "Thank you so much, father-in-law. Please tell your Majesty that I am traveling day and night to Nanzhao. I am traveling lightly and simply, and it is inconvenient to carry gold and jewelry. These gifts are reserved for the needs of the victims, and forty guards are accompanying me." It's no big deal, but it's fine as long as I can transfer to a stagecoach on the way. Your Majesty, I'll let Tianen go and repay you in the future."
Huang Men was in a dilemma: "Well, how can I regain my life when I go back?"
Zhang Zhongliang: "Just report it according to the truth." He got back on his horse and handed the transferred horse to the guard.
Everyone also left their extra horses behind.
Zhang Zhongliang clasped his fists and said, "Thank you very much. I'll say goodbye." Looking back at Mary affectionately, he rode on his horse.
Eight people riding fast horses gradually disappeared into the night.
…
Besides, when Youtu came to the court for the first time to govern, he hid behind the screen and did not dare to come out. The civil and military ministers standing under the stage were divided to the left and right, whispering. He cheered up, seemed to be cheering himself up, adjusted his clothes, walked up to the palace stage carefully, sat on the throne, and said: "Dear ministers, my father is seriously ill and cannot manage the government. I, the prince, will assume the king's power on my behalf. It's all up to me." Sirs, please help me." He stood up from the throne and bowed to everyone around him.
All the ministers laughed heartily.
Yuda was confused and looked at himself from side to side: "Why, is there anything wrong with this prince?"
All the ministers were even more delighted, leaning forward and joining together.
Feng Wenbin couldn't help but laugh, and secretly pointed to the previous case towards Youtuo.
Youtuo walked to the case and saw a portrait hanging on the chopping board: Youtuo had a sad face, crying and begging, and was bowing.
Youtuo took off the portrait and looked at it carefully: "The painting looks very similar, but although this prince is not a talented person in the kingdom, he is definitely not so cowardly."
Nur Ruda snickered, as happy as a successful prank.
Feng Wenbin: "Prince, this matter must be deliberately insulted and created to create publicity. It needs to be investigated thoroughly. Otherwise, Wang Wei will not be able to convince the public in the future and will not be able to gain a foothold in this palace."
Youtuo: "It doesn't matter. I have nothing to do today. Let's retreat from the court."
The ministers discussed one after another and dispersed one after another.
