Tang Dynasty.
Two months have passed, and both Jiancheng and the King of Chu have become a thing of the past.
Although the public discussion of King Chu has stopped, Li Shimin knows that this is just the surface.
King Chu, he is like a buried cancer.
As soon as it appears!
The superficial peace that Datang has maintained will fall apart.
no way.
King Chu was too terrifying and too powerful.
His existence is destined to be dazzling.
In addition, the most terrifying thing was that he, Li Shimin, slaughtered King Chu's men and people. When King Chu came back, he would definitely hate him to the core!
Based on his understanding of King Chu, he would definitely start a war to conquer the Tang Dynasty!
"How could it be, how could it be..."
Li Shimin's eyes were horrified.
The hands holding the letter were shaking.
King of Chu….
He shouldn't have come back, he shouldn't have come back...
It was right for him to die with the Turks...
Queen Changsun on the side noticed something was wrong and frowned slightly.
After the changes in Xuanwumen and Chuhe Village, His Majesty, who has become extremely mentally strong, is actually panicking because of a letter today.
what happens?
Could it be that...the Turks or Goguryeo invaded the border again?
She was also a little panicked and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, what happened."
Li Shimin swallowed and handed the letter to her: "Guanyin Maid, please read this letter."
Queen Changsun took it and took a look, and was stunned for a moment: "It's...it's King Chu!"
Her voice was trembling.
King of Chu, King of Chu….
This name, she thought she had forgotten.
Since King Chu left, except for the occasional incident where Li Tai went crazy and went drinking and said that King Chu had taken away his beauty, no one inside or outside the imperial city mentioned it in front of His Majesty and her, and no one mentioned it in two months. The banks of the Weishui River in front of us.
Her eldest grandson, the Empress, didn't want to recall this very bad scene again.
But….
She never expected that Tujue would write a letter to the Tang Dynasty specifically for the sake of the King of Chu.
It is said that Li Kuan had a backup plan and escaped from their Turks. He also had a very charming personality. In a short period of time, he had gathered many followers around him.
Not bad in combat.
Even the cavalry of the Turkic royal court must avoid its sharp edge.
The King of Chu would look in the direction of Chang'an every day and night, as if he wanted to return to Chang'an one day!
I hope that the Tang Dynasty and the Turks will work together to eradicate the King of Chu!
The letter did not mention the ravages of the Turkic Wolf Juxu Mountain, nor did it mention the tragedy of the Tiele tribe. After all, the family scandal should not be made public.
However, their determination to join forces with the Tang Dynasty to remove King Chu is firm!
They Turks have suffered too much loss!
I hate the King of Chu with all my heart!
So even if the Tang Dynasty conquered the King of Chu only if there were conditions, they would agree.
"King Chu, will he really come back?"
Queen Changsun's heart was trembling.
When she thought of King Chu's return, she didn't dare to think about it. The illusion was too terrifying, more terrifying than any nightmare.
Li Shimin hugged the lost Queen Changsun, his eyes became a little fierce.
He is also afraid, but he is the safe haven of Empress Changsun and the pillar of the Tang Dynasty, so he cannot be afraid on the surface!
"Kill him back to Chang'an? Then I will kill him again!"
Li Shimin's tone was decisive, and then he seemed to have thought of something, and patted Empress Changsun on the shoulder to comfort her: "But Maid Guanyin, you don't have to panic."
"I was scared just now, but now I think about it, the Turks hate the King of Chu so much, how can they let the King of Chu escape so easily?"
"Of the four camps of the King of Chu, only the White Tiger Camp is missing. I just assume it is in the Turkic grassland. A mere three thousand people want to save the King of Chu from hundreds of thousands of cavalry, and they have gathered many followers for their wishful thinking!"
"Do you really think that the Turks' hundreds of thousands of troops are just fools?"
Li Shimin now realized that this letter was probably used by the Turks to disgust him.
After all, he fled and gathered followers. Even Li Shimin didn't dare to say that. The King of Chu also had the ability to not weaken him, but this was not realistic.
After thinking about it, it seems that there is really only one explanation, and that is to make myself feel disgusted.
Still fighting well!
ridiculous!
This Jieli Khan was probably showing off that he was holding the Tang Dynasty's God of War Proton in his hand.
Haha, didn’t Jie Li know that King Chu was the one he wanted to send away, and he was showing off...
Li Shimin narrowed his eyes slightly.
Queen Changsun's face also returned to normal.
"Your Majesty, after listening to your explanation, I also feel that Jieli Khan is deliberately showing off to us."
"He just wants to make us angry. We don't need to be fooled or scare ourselves."
Empress Changsun also said the same thing.
Although she said so, she kept touching her heart with her hands, which proved that she was not calm in her heart.
There is no way, that is, the King of Chu...
Let her many children, all the young generation of the Tang Dynasty, live in the shadow of the King of Chu!
"snort!"
"Tujue, you are so disgusting! You even deliberately used King Chu to disgust me!"
"I will destroy them sooner or later!!"
Rather than King Chu escaping, Li Shimin was more willing to believe that the Turks were disgusting with him, so he slammed the table hard.
Queen Changsun quickly comforted her.
Li Junxian naturally heard the discussion between the two and felt relieved.
He thought it was another war in the Turks.
As long as it's not a war.
His Highness the King of Chu... still wants to fight back to Chang'an?
Unless there is only one possibility, which is to completely surrender to the Turks and rely on the Turks' help, otherwise, even His Royal Highness the King of Chu cannot possibly escape from the Turks as a proton and then fight back with his own power.
All I can say is that Turks are so disgusting.
"I will definitely do it, Your Majesty!" Empress Changsun agreed hastily.
But Li Shimin sighed again: "This letter, Maid Guanyin, reminds me of something."
"What's up?"
"That is, what should I do if the Turks collude with the King of Chu and defect to the Turk camp? With the reputation and reputation of the King of Chu, if he leads the Turkic army in time, what should I do?"
When Empress Changsun heard this, she was not too worried and said with a smile: "If this is the case, then the people of Tang Dynasty will not be able to follow the King of Chu, and they will not even follow the King of Chu in their lifetime. After all, the Turks are a world feud."
"The day the King of Chu came with his Turkic army, it meant that he was the enemy of the people of the Tang Dynasty, and the people would never follow the Turks."
Li Shimin felt much at ease: "That's true."
But he was still a little worried.
With the military talent of the King of Chu, if he led the Turkic army to come in, it would really cause him a lot of trouble in the Tang Dynasty.
I hope….
The Turks will torture the King of Chu, and it is even better to kill him...
Li Shimin's eyes were blazing, and for the first time he was so eager for something to happen.
….….….….….….
Changsun Mansion.
Changsun Wuji also received a letter.
He opened curiously.
When he saw the contents inside, he frowned.
"Who gave this letter!"
Changsun Wuji hurriedly asked the steward who delivered the letter.
"Sir, that man said he came from the north."
"I didn't say anything else. I just said that the master will know after reading this letter."
replied the butler.
Changsun Wuji frowned, nodded, waved his hand, and let the housekeeper go out.
"King Chu!"
"The ghost is still there! There are really ghosts everywhere!"
"North, Turks! Haha, what do you want to do by giving me this letter?"
"Is it possible that you really think that I will believe these nonsense you are telling me?"
"If the King of Chu can return to Chang'an, I, Changsun Wuji, will cut off my head and use it as a chamber pot for you."
Changsun Wuji said in a cold voice.
Different from Li Shimin's panic, Changsun Wuji had nightmares every day in the past few months. In his dreams, he saw the King of Chu coming back to slaughter his Changsun Mansion.
Afterwards, he kept reviewing the possibility of King Chu escaping from the Turks, and it was definitely zero!
With the Turks' hatred for the King of Chu, even if one day they could borrow the help of the King of Chu to lead their Turkic army back to Chang'an, they would not do so.
Too many of their Turkic soldiers died at the hands of the King of Chu. Even if Jieli Khan asked the King of Chu to be shot and returned to the Tang Dynasty, the families of the soldiers who died under his rule would not agree.
Unless Jieli Khan no longer wants the position of Khan, he will definitely kill the King of Chu!
With Jieli's timid and cautious temperament, haha, he will only kill the King of Chu!
Then, Jieli Khan could not protect the King of Chu.
If the King of Chu escaped from the Turks by his own ability, then...it would be even more impossible, even a fantasy.
"Haha, King Chu, you are already a thing of the past and you will never come back."
"Just like the Sui Dynasty, it is a thing of the past. I am not afraid of you."
Changsun Wuji narrowed his eyes slightly.
Then, he put the letter in his hand on the candle and burned it.
….….….….….….
Youzhou border.
After many days of long journey, General Baihu finally brought the returning people to the foot of Youzhou City.
Looking at the familiar tall city wall, General Bai Hu only felt that things were different and people were different.
So much happened during this time.
Every time he returned to Youzhou City after an expedition outside the Great Wall, General Baihu felt as if he had been transported from another world. But this time, his life was hanging by a thread, and he felt even more profoundly.
Fortunately, he was finally going to fulfill His Highness's instructions.
"Youzhou City, look, it's Youzhou City!"
"We're here, we're really here!"
"Woooooo, I'm going back, Datang, Datang..."
"……."
Those who were protected also cried with joy when they saw Youzhou City.
Finally, it’s time to go home….
There was no danger on the way back from Floating Water Town, they were just weather-beaten, but they were too aggrieved. They were like children who left home. Now that they have seen home and are about to arrive home, no one's mood is not ups and downs.
"Youzhou City has arrived. Let me tell you again. Don't reveal His Highness's whereabouts. When soldiers and officials in the pass ask, they will say that I, the White Tiger, rescued him!"
General Baihu said loudly.
All the people and soldiers agreed.
Soon, after receiving General Baihu's nod, they supported each other and headed toward Youzhou City in embarrassment.
General White Tiger, who escorted them all the way, and the White Tiger Camp, watched all this quietly.
After they ran some distance away, a White Tiger Camp commander rode up and said, "General, it's time for us to go back."
General Baihu's eyes flickered and he did not answer immediately.
As the commander of the White Tiger Camp who was familiar with him, Wei Wei was shocked and couldn't help but said: "General, could it be that you won't go back?"
General White Tiger coughed: "Ahem, go back, I have some things to deal with."
The commander of the White Tiger Camp looked defeated: "General, you are disobeying me again."
again….
Yes, General Baihu has acted against the wishes of King Chu more than once in the past.
The most recent violation was when the Turks escorted the King of Chu back to the grassland, but they were still in Youzhou. If not for Si She's persuasion, General White Tiger would have planned to lead his army in a surprise attack to rescue the King of Chu.
He always disobeyed, always, always….
He is always so arrogant.
Among the four beast generals, he was the only one who dared to act like this.
He is too arrogant.
Disobeying orders has become commonplace, and the soldiers of Baihu Camp have become accustomed to it.
"Why don't you disobey orders? I want to go back to Floating Water Town to get something."
"You kid, hold this thing for me, General."
General Baihu handed out a package.
In this package, there are the nameplates of the soldiers from the White Tiger Camp who died after leaving the fortress. All the nameplates are there and they must be taken back to Jiangdong.
The commander of the White Tiger Camp took the package and said angrily: "General, before you go back to Floating Water Town, you should take a look at these."
He also handed a package to General White Tiger.
The package sent by General Baihu was very heavy, but the package he handed out was very light.
General Baihu's eyes softened when he saw the package. This was... a letter from his wife Lu Liuli, and it was all packed into the package.
All the letters from the past few years are in it.
The reason why he asked his men to look at the package was because he was afraid that when he saw the letters, he would miss her or even go back to see her.
Wanna see?
In his heart, General White Tiger wanted to see it very much.
But his reason told him not to read it. The letter in this package was the biggest obstacle to his return to Floating Water Town!
Heaven and man fought for a long time, but General White Tiger finally took the package and opened it.
The letters were organized very well, and the first letter was the first letter Lu Liuli sent that year.
He had read this letter before, but had forgotten about it.
Open.
[Husband, it’s me, Lu Liuli, today is the thirty-third day since you left, how about it? Is the climate still suitable in the north? Does it ever get cold for you? 】
[It must have been cold. I have been asking about news from the north recently. Not many people who have been to the north have come back. Hehe, but I still found out. The weather there is very cold. I heard that many people freeze to death. So I sewed you a thick cotton coat. 】
[I don’t know how long it will take for this letter and the thick cotton coat to arrive in your hands. I hope they will arrive before the end of this winter. 】
"……."
He had read this letter before, and thick cotton-padded clothes had also received it, but even after reading it again, something in General Baihu's heart was still touched.
His eyes became softer and softer.
Open the second envelope.
[Husband, let me tell you a great news. Pei Qinglang, who used to be a good friend to you when we were kids, is getting married! Moreover, his wife is so powerful. She is a member of the Cui clan of Qinghe. Although she is a commoner, she is still very powerful! And I’ve seen his wife, she’s very nice…]
[Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuunnnnnnnnnnqualuments,I feel inferior. Others say that I am prettier than her,but I don't think so,she is so gentle,she is two years younger than me,she got married,and she...】
[Husband, when will you come back? I miss you and want to hug you, just like Pei Qinglang hugged his wife. 】
General White Tiger's eyes turned red.
Open the third letter.
[Husband, something bad happened. Our house was robbed last night. Fortunately, the housekeeper responded in time and sent his servants out, otherwise things would have been lost in our house. 】
[It’s really unbelievable that there are people who dare to rob Pei’s house. Maybe... that thief saw that there is no owner in the house, so he bullied me as a woman at home. If you were in the house, with your reputation, what thief would Don't you dare to snatch things without your eyesight? 】
[Husband, I don’t know when this letter will be delivered to you. Anyway, I just want to say this. I am not calling you to come back. Please accompany His Highness to conquer the country. 】
[Hehe, when it comes to conquering the country, you are already very famous. The four beast generals under the King of Chu, codenamed White Tiger, are in charge of the fastest cavalry battalion in the empire. You are so majestic and majestic! 】
[Those storytellers, when they talked about your deeds, I listened very well, but I was afraid that you would laugh when I told them. The housekeeper looked at me. I heard that when the storytellers talked about your deeds, they said that I was giggling, which is embarrassing...]
[Okay, okay, after that the storyteller said you were too arrogant, so I stopped laughing and ran to argue with him. The argument failed, and I almost cried with anger. You are not arrogant. You are better than anyone else. They are all belittling you, they are all jealous of you, they don’t understand you, not at all…]
Seeing this, General Baihu's hand holding the letter was trembling slightly, and his eyes were so red that he shed a tear.
Tick tock….
Tears fell to the ground.
"It's strange that sand blew into my eyes."
General Baihu wiped his eyes.
Then, the fourth letter, the fifth letter, the eighth letter...
Every letter expressed Lu Liuli's deepest thoughts. She was like a poor homeless child, guarding Pei Fu Nuo Da's mansion, waiting for the return of his prodigal son.
When he saw the tenth letter, General Baihu was already in tears.
Lu Liuli and Pei Xingjian were from the same household. They were both daughters and sons of large families. They both had high status and enjoyed endless wealth and splendor.
Logically speaking, he should be very happy, but in the letter, Pei Xingjian only saw his wife's sadness and loneliness.
Madam Lu Liuli, this shouldn't be like this, shouldn't be like this...
She deserves a better life!
But because he is a prodigal son, there has been no man in the family in the past few years, and life has not been easy, just like being a widow.
For herself, she suffered too much, too much...
The more Pei Xingjian thought about it, the more he burst into tears.
And in history.
Pei Xingjian's first wife, Lu, had no name, and women could not leave their names in history books.
Lu died young, and Pei Xingjian believed that he was a lone star of evil.
Some people speculated that she died of pregnancy and dystocia, others speculated that she died of physical weakness, and some speculated that she died of lovesickness.
She was too miserable, and she was also miserable in history.
It's a pity.
And history is always full of regrets, big events such as the Three Kingdoms fighting for hegemony and finally returning to Jin, and small events such as many people dying without being able to see their loved ones during wars.
Regret is normal, just like every one of us is full of regrets in life.
now.
Even if he shed tears, General Baihu would protect those letters well and prevent his helpless tears from tarnishing his wife's passionate love.
There is one more letter, the last one.
He has not read this letter.
He wrote it after he went to the Turkic grassland to rescue His Royal Highness the King of Chu.
His eyes were still moist, and with trembling hands, he slowly opened it.
[Husband, where are you? The chief told me that His Royal Highness the King of Chu was arrested and sent to the Turks. General Tiance is going to attack us. General Xuanwu is dead, General Suzaku is dead, Chuhe Village has also been destroyed, and most of the Twelve Nights are dead. Many people died. 】
[Where are you, where are you, where are you, where are you...]
The words written in the front are normal, but the words in the back are dozens? Hundreds? There are countless "Where are you"? Anyone who reads the letter can tell. The writer of the letter was crying when he wrote it.
Especially those words, each word is written with the utmost effort.
After reading this, General Baihu collapsed completely.
Howling.
It is said that men never shed tears easily.
But today, he cried.
He has never been sorry to anyone in his life, but he will always be sorry to his wife. He owes her too much, too much...
I'm afraid I won't be able to repay it in my lifetime.
This was the first time that General Baihu shed tears, the first time in his life.
He held the letters tightly, held them carefully, and cried like a child.
"sorry."
"Liu Li, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
General Baihu held those letters and kept apologizing.
This scene made the commander of the White Tiger Camp and the White Tiger Guards feel very uncomfortable when they saw it.
The White Tiger Camp, led by the commanders of the White Tiger Camp, kept retreating, leaving General White Tiger alone within a hundred meters.
Shortly after.
Night falls.
Perhaps because he was tired from crying, or perhaps for other reasons, General White Tiger stopped crying and slowly rode towards the White Tiger Camp.
When he reached a certain position, a White Tiger Camp commander came forward and asked: "General, are you still planning to go back to Floating Water Town?"
General Baihu's eyes flickered, and then he said word by word: "Go back, Your Highness is alone outside the wall, and I am worried."
"As for my wife Liuli..."
General Baihu's tone was stagnant, and he lowered his head in despair: "General, I'm sorry for being too much for her. My stupid wife, I hope you will wait for me a little longer..."
"I'll be back soon..."
As he spoke, General Baihu held the letters carefully, as if the letters were a substitute for his wife.
Say it, no more hesitation.
General Baihu passed them and walked in the direction of Floating Water Town.
"You all go back and see your family! Also go see Jiangdong, our home!"
General Baihu said without turning his head.
However, not long after he walked out, he could feel a group of people following him.
He looked back and found that the entire White Tiger Battalion was following him.
The pair of eyes that General White Tiger glanced over were full of heat and determination.
At this moment, although he didn't say anything, General Baihu seemed to know what they meant.
He laughed angrily and said: "We can reunite when we go back, but we will die if we go back to Floating Water Town. Even if we don't die, we won't be able to go back to Jiangdong for a long time in the future. Are you sure?"
No White Tiger Guard answered him.
That group of people, a group of fools, still looked at General White Tiger with ardent eyes, never looking away.
Silence is better than sound.
General Baihu immediately understood what these idiots meant and laughed loudly: "Hahahahahahaha!!!"
"good good good good!!!"
"You all have to go back, right? Then go back with me, General, and continue to protect His Highness!!"
"Follow me, General, and disobey orders to listen to His Highness's abuse!!"
"But don't be afraid. Your Highness must have saved a lot of Han people during this period. Maybe many more will come back to the Tang Dynasty. We can still escort them. We can have our own confidence and quibble over the matter of resisting fate!"
"All fools in the fool camp, let's go!"
"Target, Floating Water Town!!!"
The last moment he was facing the direction of Fushui Town, he felt lonely, but this time when he turned to face the direction of Fushui Town, General White Tiger's eyes were filled with the unruly attitude of the past.
Not just him, this group of White Tiger Guards, who also had family matters and families waiting for them to return, also had their eyes filled with pride.
What kind of generals, what kind of soldiers are brought out.
They are all the embodiment of arrogance.
"Dong dong dong..."
The earth trembled.
General White Tiger and his White Tiger Camp headed towards Floating Water Town again.
This time, all the soldiers of the White Tiger Camp chose to follow the arrogant and disobedient general.
Maybe a lot of people will die.
But they have no complaints or regrets...
….…….….….….
Floating water town.
After many days of training, the Self-Defense Force has expanded to 3,000 people, among whom there are still hundreds of people who are continuing to train and are expected to join the Self-Defense Force soon.
The Self-Defense Army will become the King of Chu's first large-scale miscellaneous army.
"Over at Sishe, with the help of Yang Zhengfa, more than a hundred people have been arranged to enter Yanyun City. He Shen's sale of briquettes has also been a great success."
"Now, everything is going according to plan. Just wait for the arrival of spring and start to control Yanyun City."
Li Kuan looked out the window at the sky, his eyes slightly narrowed.
Through Si She's intelligence, he learned that there were more than 20,000 Han slaves in Yanyun City. As long as Yanyun City was captured, his power would be greatly expanded.
"Your Highness!"
Just then, there was a voice outside the door.
He is a white-robed guard.
Li Kuan said loudly: "Come in."
The white-robed guard came in and said, "Your Highness, there is a letter from you, sent from Jiangdong."
Koto!
Li Kuan was slightly stunned.
No news from Jiangdong has been heard since he came to Turks and even became a proton earlier.
"Quickly, give it to me."
"yes!"
He handed the letter to the King of Chu, and then the white-robed soldier withdrew.
Li Kuan opened the letter.
Watch for a while.
His eyes narrowed.
[Since becoming a hostage, General Zhuque of Chang'an City died in battle, General Xuanwu died in battle, the entire Xuanwu Camp of Suzaku Camp was wiped out, and the Twelve Nighter Yin Hu died in battle...]
There were a bunch of names on the list, and they were all familiar people who died in the battle.
It was the first time he actually knew the death toll.
"How could it be possible? Xuanwu clearly asked him to take an unusual path, how could he die? The three thousand Xuanwu sons of this king..."
"Youji died because of his arrogance. Why didn't he obey the chief's order..."
"Admiral Tiance actually... did something to me, so many old, weak, women and children from Chuhe Village..."
The more Li Kuan looked at it, the more surprised he became.
He knew people would die.
But too many people died, much more than he originally expected.
Especially Xuanwu and Xuanwu Camp, Xuanwu is the most prudent in his work, and Xuanwu should not die the most, but... he also died...
He just held the letter and kept looking at it...
I don’t know how much time has passed.
It seems like a moment, and it seems like a century.
Li Kuan no longer had a sense of time. He put down the letter and put his eyes away from the letter. He put the letter into the candle next to him and watched it continue to burn.
"General Tiance, Changsun Wuji, Hou Junji..."
Li Kuan calmly read out the names one after another, and then continued to watch the letters burning.
Even though it has burned out, I am still watching.
He was no longer looking at the candlelight. A scene seemed to appear in front of his eyes, where General Tiance and others were present.
Li Kuan narrowed his eyes slightly: "I will come back, I will definitely..."
"I, the blood feud of Chuhe Village, will be repaid a hundredfold by you and others."
As he spoke, he continued to look at the candlelight.
The whole person was stunned, as if he had been hit hard.
I don’t know how much time passed before there was a sound outside the door.
"Your Highness, it's already late at night. Chef Wang said you didn't go to dinner, so I made the decision privately and brought your dishes."
"Your Highness, although many things require your own hands, you can't forget to eat. Your Highness, Your Highness..."
There was no reply from inside. Du Ruyan took a deep breath and opened the door with a creak.
As soon as he pushed it open, before he could step in, he was pulled in by a strong hand.
The food she brought was completely scattered on the floor.
Du Ruyan was dragged in.
Her eyes widened.
This was a deceitful person. She struggled, but when she saw that the person who was betraying her was the King of Chu, she stopped resisting.
"Your Highness, you...um..."
Before he could speak, he was forcefully kissed.
Not only her mouth, but her face and cheeks were also kissed.
Du Ruyan's beautiful eyes trembled slightly. She realized that something was not right with His Highness today, but when she saw those eyes...
In an instant.
My heart trembled.
Such sad eyes….
It turns out that this man, a man who is incomparable and indomitable in the world, also has such sad moments...
Du Ruyan's beautiful eyes were full of softness, and she couldn't help hugging this man. She wanted to send a little warmth to this man as much as possible.
Even if it costs my whole life, I won't hesitate.
perhaps.
When she chose to follow the King of Chu from Chang'an City, she had already thought about what would happen on this day.
The only difference is that the situation is different from the thousands of fantasies in my mind.
But, it’s harmless.
For this man, she is willing to give everything...
…….….….….….
The night passed.
In the small room, this talented woman who was once famous in Chang'an City had her own man, a man in the true sense of the word.
Under the covers.
She found that King Chu was far away from her, so she greedily moved closer to his embrace and pressed her whole body into the warm embrace.
"Yan'er."
At this time, a magnetic voice sounded.
Du Ruyan was frightened.
"Your Highness, are you awake?"
She was a little panicked and didn't dare to get closer, wanting to retreat to her original place.
However, he was held tightly by a hand and forced close to his embrace.
overbearing!
Just like last night when she was delivering food, she was bullied and dragged in!
Too domineering!
But Du Ruyan didn't hate it, but liked it very much.
"Your Highness, what happened."
In the arms of King Chu, Du Ruyan couldn't help but ask.
Something must have happened to my man to be like this last night.
She was convinced.
Li Kuan didn't reply to her. He hugged her and looked at the ceiling, thinking to himself, "Let's get married."
Du Ruyan:? ? ? ?
marriage!
Du Ruyan's heart was like a deer, and she said cautiously: "Your Highness, is it true?"
"Well, what do you think?"
"me…."
Du Ruyan hesitated to speak, not because he refused, but because he was overwhelmed by the sudden joy.
"I, I promise!"
Du Ruyan was afraid that His Highness would change his mind, so he agreed directly without having time to think about it.
Li Kuan laughed and looked at her. She was still so beautiful, pure and beautiful.
"Don't you regret it?"
Du Ruyan shook his head: "I don't regret it! Although I don't know what your Highness has gone through to become like this, but I don't regret it!"
Li Kuan's eyes flickered.
She was once a fairy from Chang'an, who bowed down countless young men from aristocratic families. She should have enjoyed admiration and applause, but she was willing to give up everything for him and go to a foreign country to suffer.
She paid too much.
Li Kuan couldn't help but hug this woman who had supported and followed him from beginning to end, and hugged her tightly.
"Then this king will be your husband from now on."
"I will give you a wedding ceremony that will shock everyone."
Du Ruyan closed her eyes and enjoyed her man's embrace. When she heard this, she smiled softly and her brows were filled with joy. Even with her eyes closed tightly, she seemed to be smiling.
"Your Highness, Yan'er listens to you in everything."
Li Kuan smiled and said: "His Highness is too young, I will call you husband from now on."
Du Ruyan shook his head: "No, Yan'er thinks His Highness sounds better."
For most things, she would choose to listen to King Chu as long as he said something casually.
But on this matter, she was extraordinarily persistent.
Li Kuan didn't hesitate and said with a smile: "Okay."
Keep warm for a long time.
Du Ruyan then stood up and dressed.
She planned to bring some food to His Highness after cleaning up. She was worried that His Highness had not eaten anything all night.
The door creaked open and he bumped into Chen Qingzhi who was just about to enter.
In Chen Qingzhi's eyes, Du Ruyan today was wearing a tight-fitting pink rose-scented robe with sleeves top and an emerald green smoked gauze skirt. The waist is tied into a big bow with soft gold silk, and the jasper Zan phoenix hairpin is inserted into the sideburns at an angle, showing a slender figure, a perfect figure, and charming.
Watch her fold her slender waist and take a slight step, showing her bright wrists in the gauze.
Her eyes are full of clear spring water, and her head is slanted with a jade dragon and phoenix hairpin.
That every frown and smile touches the heart and soul.
In this world, it is really difficult to find a woman more beautiful than Du Ruyan.
Chen Qingzhi couldn't help feeling a little emotional, but when he saw the quilt, he was... stunned.
This, Miss Du, has become His Highness’s woman?
Just...just such an ordinary night.
Du Ruyan blushed immediately when she saw his eyes.
"General Chen, Your Highness is inside, I'll leave first."
Du Ruyan fled as if fleeing.
"Ah, okay, okay, okay."
It took a while for Chen Qingzhi to react, but Du Ruyan had already walked away.
He couldn't help but smile helplessly.
I was really rude just now.
He planned to go to Du Ruyan to apologize later, but for now, things were still important.
He went inside.
"Your Highness."
Li Kuan nodded: "What's the matter?"
Chen Qingzhi cupped his hands and said: "The spies found a medium-sized town dozens of miles away. About five thousand Liang people live here. I don't know that we..."
He didn't say the next words.
Li Kuan knew what he meant and was asking whether to send troops.
Normally, he would definitely agree to send troops.
But today, Li Kuan shook his head: "We won't send troops for the time being. Winter is coming. It's time to prepare for the winter."
"Moreover, I, the king, will also get married within these few days."
Chen Qingzhi was slightly surprised, then said in surprise: "Yes, is it Miss Du?"
Li Kuan smiled and said: "Yes, I have spent my life as a soldier, so it's time for me to get married."
"So for the next few days, we will temporarily stop all military operations and call everyone back. I will hold a marriage ceremony for the entire people of Floating Water Town to participate."
Chen Qingzhi cupped his hands and said excitedly: "Yes! Your Highness!!"
He was very excited because in ancient times, a lord's marriage was a more important event than anything else and was a blessing to the entire military group.
"Ziyun, please inform everyone and let everyone know."
"Yes Yes!!"
Chen Qingzhi said excitedly, then quickly excused himself and left, excitedly.
He couldn't wait to let the people of Floating Water Town know.
….….….….….….
riverside.
Du Ruyan is cleaning things.
But then someone passed by: "Hey, it's the princess!"
She came over and said, "Princess, why are you here?"
princess?
Du Ruyan was confused by this title. At first, she thought that the other person's name was Wang Fei. This person was calling someone else, but she never thought that the other person was looking straight for her.
"princess?"
Du Ruyan was stunned.
The man smiled and said: "Yes, Princess, you don't know yet, but His Highness has posted a notice saying that the wedding will be held in three days and you are going to marry him!"
"Wha, what!!"
Du Ruyan was extremely shocked. This, this, this, this is too fast...
She's not ready yet.
"Huh? Looking at the princess, is there another hidden reason behind this matter?"
When Du Ruyan heard this, she pretended to be calm and said with a gentle smile: "How could it be possible? It's just an accident of calling me Princess."
"Yes, I do want to marry Your Highness."
As he spoke, his eyes were filled with happiness.
Then, after talking to the man for a few more words, the man left.
After the man left, Du Ruyan touched her little face, which was extremely hot. She knew without looking at her that her face must be red.
"I want to marry Your Highness, I want to marry Your Highness..."
She touched her hot cheeks with both hands and kept repeating it, feeling like a dream.
And if Li Tai saw this scene, he would probably vomit three liters of blood.
He has not forgotten Du Ruyan.
He couldn't forget that there were very few people in the world who were as beautiful as Du Ruyan, not to mention that Du Ruyan was the eldest daughter of Prime Minister Du Mansion.
He was still regretting the Bai Yueguang in his heart, but this Bai Yueguang was... about to get married.
And the man got on the bus first and then paid for the ticket.
It is the most unique way of getting married in ancient times.
Even so, Du Ruyan was extremely happy.
A few days later.
finally.
Du Ruyan, who had once been the dream of countless young men in Chang'an City, was about to marry the King of Chu.
On the wedding day.
Ten miles of red makeup, full of joy.
"Hahaha, Your Highness is getting married!"
"Quick, quick, let's set off more firecrackers here!"
"Here comes the wine! Don't move yet. Be patient. When the wedding ceremony between His Highness and the Princess is over, you can drink as much as you want. You won't come back until you're drunk!"
"……."
There was joy everywhere.
Everyone celebrates!
at the same time.
Du Ruyan's residence.
In the past few days, Li Kuan has not touched Du Ruyan, letting her prepare for the marriage in peace.
In front of the dressing table.
The maids who dressed her up couldn't help but be amazed by Du Ruyan's beauty.
"Miss, you are so beautiful."
"Yes, yes, I have been to Chang'an City for so long, but I have never seen anyone more beautiful than the young lady. It is also a blessing for His Highness to marry you..."
Before she finished speaking, the maid was stopped by Du Ruyan's fingers.
"Your Highness is a star in the sky. You must not belittle Your Highness."
