Yu Shisan sighed: "No matter what, we have to meet them."
"Thirty-seven passes were destroyed in one night. If this continues, Tianmen Pass will be destroyed in less than five days!"
"By that time, even if reinforcements from Anwu and Anwu arrive, I'm afraid it will be of no use!"
Yuanlu said slowly: "It is believed that the movement of the group is from west to east. According to the destroyed pass, their next target is the channel."
Qian Zhao: "Liu Daotang listened to the order and went to Tianmenguan Canal Head Channel to block it. The whole team will set off in five hours!"
"yes."
…
Three days later.
Andu.
Emperor An sent Duke Chu to He County to support him.
Chuyue sensed something was wrong and guessed that Emperor An also chose to collude with Beipan after knowing about King Luoxi.
Ren Ruyi, Ning Yuanzhou, Chu Yue, and Li Tongguang conspired to discuss the matter at the Qingguo Palace.
On the day when King Luoxi was canonized as crown prince.
At the ceremony, Ren Ruyi and Ning Yuanzhou exposed the collusion between Emperor An and King Luoxi in Beipan.
Deng Hui hated Beipan the most, and King Luoxi eventually died in his hands.
In the chaos, Emperor An was assassinated. The cause of death is unknown.
Duke Li Tongguang of Qing State "arrested" Ning Yuanzhou and Ren Ruyi. In compliance with Emperor An's "edict", he accepted the post of regent and supported the three princes to succeed to the throne.
Commander Zhu Yiwei sent Deng Hui to testify for him.
That afternoon.
Li Tongguang ascended the throne holding the third prince in his arms.
Officials in the DPRK and China were generously rewarded.
Chu's family was granted the title of King Shaxi, and Chu's concubine became the queen mother and raised the third prince.
In the first month of the first month, the daughter of the Duke of Chu was granted the title of 300 households.
In addition, Deng Hui acted vigorously and resolutely, using force to suppress the dissatisfied voices of Anguo and his country.
That night.
Ren Ruyi and Ning Yuanzhou are leaving the Qingguo Palace.
They made an agreement with Li Tongguang, and then the two countries joined forces to fight against Beipan.
Li Tongguang: "The alliance between the two countries always needs a bond to maintain it, in order to stop the world from talking."
Ning Yuanzhou: "Just tell me, what do you want?"
Li Tongguang: "I want to marry Queen Wu's sister, the second lady of the Xiao family, and be my regent."
Before Ning Yuanzhou could answer, Ren Ruyi spoke first.
Her voice was low: "Don't force me to slap you before I leave."
"She has never been a link, nor is she someone you can tie up with just one title!"
Li Tongguang lowered his eyes: "I know, but, Master, if you can't even find her, I really have no choice."
Ning Yuanzhou said softly: "Mr. Qing Guo, do you like the second lady, or are you obsessed with her?"
Li Tongguang was silent for a long time.
He turned around, with his back to the two of them, and said in a rather sincere tone: "I love her, to the core of my being."
"In your eyes, this may be obsession!"
"But I know that if I don't have her, even if I have great power, it will be meaningless."
Ning Yuanzhou: "To love someone is to give them what they want, not to impose your ideas on them."
Li Tongguang: "You are accompanied by your beloved, and your back does not hurt when you stand and talk."
"But what about me?"
"She is more elusive than the wind. If I don't use some means, I won't even be able to see her face!"
Ning Yuanzhou and Ren Ruyi looked at each other.
The two of them thought secretly: This is not wrong!
Ning Yuanzhou thought for a moment and said, "I will fly a pigeon to send the message back to Wu State as soon as possible. If I move quickly, the certificate of credence from Wu State will arrive in about seven days."
"The second young lady is the queen's sister. Let's see if the queen agrees to your request!"
Li Tongguang: "Okay."
Time flies by and seven days have passed in the blink of an eye.
On the 15th.
The credential of the State of Wu, double-sealed by King Danyang and Emperor Wu, has been sent to the Duke of Qing.
It is written in the certificate of credence: Under the sword and iron cavalry of the Beipan people, regardless of gender, old or young, they are all subject to the soul of death.
Therefore, I am willing to put aside old grievances with your country, establish a new alliance, and join forces with the strength of the whole country to fight against the enemy.
Today, there is the legitimate second daughter of Xiao Mansion, who is specially named Princess Dawu Chaoxi. She is married to the Duke of Qing Dynasty of your country. From now on, they form a good marriage and become a couple. The red rope will be tied early and the white head will be together forever.
Jiali has just begun, sincerely helps each other, and makes a double oath of alliance, this is the proof!
Under the double alliance, it is both a letter of credence and a marriage document.
Li Tongguang summoned the important ministers of the court overnight to make the matter public.
16th.
The Duke's Mansion of Qing State was decorated with lanterns and colorful ribbons, and red silk was hung high.
at the same time.
————
Wuguo Palace.
Ms. Pei: "Mother, are you really willing to let the second lady marry away from Anguo?"
Xiao Yan: "I believe her."
Officer Pei: "I don't understand."
Xiao Yan: "As far as the public is concerned, there is nothing wrong with sacrificing Xi'er for the alliance between the two countries."
"Personally speaking, in troubled times, if Xi'er doesn't want to, who can force her?"
Ms. Pei said with a smile: "Your Majesty is right."
————
He County.
Qian Zhao was sharpening a broad knife outside the house.
Everyone in the room was talking a lot.
Emperor Wu: "When did Duke Qing fall in love with Xi'er?"
Yu Shisan: "That's too early!"
Yuanlu: "Your Majesty and your Majesty, are you going to marry Sister Xi now?"
Sun Lang: "The certificate of credence comes from Wudu and is sealed. When it comes to Hexian, it is just a formality. It has been approved by the empress."
Emperor Wu: "You don't have to worry about this."
"She dares to kick me. If she goes to Anguo in the future, Duke Qing should be worried!"
Du Changshi: "What the Holy One said is absolutely true."
Yang Ying: "The key is that the credentials have arrived in Anguo, but where is the bride?"
As soon as this was said, everyone fell silent.
————
Late at night, the moon and stars are sparse.
Qingguo Gongfu.
Inside Li Tongguang's bedroom.
He was wearing a bright red wedding dress and sitting beside the bed.
On the hanger nearby was a beautifully crafted wedding dress.
He held the Raoming Sword in his arms, wondering what he was thinking.
"If I don't come, do you plan to marry this sword?"
Li Tongguang looked up sharply.
Xiao and Xi were seen leaning on the door frame, looking at him with a smile.
His eyes turned red instantly.
Li Tongguang threw the Raoming Sword on the bed, stood up quickly, took three steps and two steps at a time, and walked to Xiao Yuxi.
He hugged Xiao Yuxi into his arms and buried his head in the crook of Xiao Yuxi's neck: "I'm really scared. Even if I reach this point, what should I do if you still refuse to show up?"
Xiao Yuxi chuckled and said, "Everyone knows about this marriage, but I, the person involved, don't know about it."
Li Tongguang slowly let go of Xiao Yuxi.
He put his hands on Xiao Yuxi's shoulders and looked down at her face: "I have taken care of my own affairs now. Does the agreement between you and me count?"
Xiao Yuxi did not answer this question.
She pushed away Li Tongguang's hand and walked slowly towards the bright red wedding dress.
Li Tongguang stood quietly, watching Xiao Yuxi's back.
Xiao Yuxi caressed her wedding dress, turned back to look at him, smiled suddenly, and said, "I have never worn such a bright color before."
"How about I put it on for you tonight?"
Li Tongguang laughed.
He nodded, his voice choked up.
It seems that he is happy about the current scene, but also seems to be helpless about the future speculation.
He said: "Okay."
Li Tongguang stood in the courtyard with his back to the dormitory.
The cold wind blew and snow fell from the sky.
Snowflakes were flying and falling quietly in the endless night.
After a while, the cold ground was covered with a layer of pure white silk.
The red lanterns hanging everywhere cast a warm color against the snow.
"Li Tongguang."
Li Tongguang turned around and looked.
Xiao Yuxi, dressed in wedding clothes, looked so beautiful in the silver-clad environment, as if everything around her had lost its color.
Li Tongguang thought to himself: He may never forget this scene for the rest of his life.
Xiao Yuxi walked up to him calmly and suddenly reached out and handed him a bottle of sake: "I found it in your room. You can drink it with me tonight."
Li Tongguang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Who was drunk on their wedding night?"
Xiao Yuxi put the wine bottle into Li Tongguang's hand, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "Then what do you want to do?"
Li Tongguang pursed his lips and said nothing.
In just a few seconds, his blush reached his neck, and even the tips of his ears were dyed pink.
Xiao Yuxi: "Will you stay with me?"
Li Tongguang: "Accompany me."
He took a sip of wine, pulled Xiao Yuxi into his arms forcefully with one hand, then leaned over and lowered his head, placing a slightly alcoholic kiss on her lips.
Li Tongguang: "Tonight, you are mine."
Xiao Yuxi: "Okay."
After a while, the two of them were sitting at an outdoor table in the courtyard.
They were all dressed in red, letting the white snow fall on their shoulders and hair.
Perhaps, this can be regarded as the end of life!
