Time flies and the day of Xiao Han's wedding arrives.
Jinling City is once again filled with red clothes and firecrackers are blasting.
Xiao Han wore a wedding robe made by Queen Ma herself.
Although with Daming's production level, such clothes can be mass-produced by the agricultural and sideline industry chain.
But Empress Ma always felt that it only made sense for her children to get married in wedding robes made by herself.
Naturally, Xiao Han couldn't refute Queen Ma's intention. In the past three days, Xiao Han didn't dare to be careless about the big tonic soup brought by Queen Ma. It was all made by Ruoyi and he drank it all without cutting corners. .
It was still early, and luxurious carriages had already stopped outside the British government palace.
"British Sir, congratulations."
Mu Ying got off the car outside the British Duke's Mansion and saluted Xiao Han solemnly.
"Brother Mu is delighted."
"After this, you will go to southern Xinjiang to guard the country. You will have to worry a lot about the state affairs in the Ming Dynasty's border areas."
Xiao Han also bowed his hands to Mu Ying.
"No, no, I'm just an idler on the border, suppressing a group of small countries around the Ming Dynasty. The British Duke and His Royal Highness are the ones who really have everything to do and take care of the national affairs of the Ming Dynasty."
Mu Ying immediately returned the gift and then slowly walked into the British palace.
"Ha ha!"
"Fengxue, it's finally your wedding day."
"You can't skip drinking today. It's your wedding, so we guys have to drink to the fullest."
Lan Yu also felt it at this time, and came up and patted Xiao Han's shoulder directly.
"sure."
"Brother Lan Yu, I will definitely let you drink to your heart's content today."
Xiao Han chuckled and was noncommittal.
"Then we'll wait for you."
Lan Yu smiled and strutted in directly.
"father in law."
The Xu family's motorcade finally arrived.
Xu Da got off the Xu family's carriage.
"Um."
Xu Da nodded towards Xiao Han and walked in without saying much.
"snort!"
Following Xu Da, Chang Yuchun also arrived.
Seeing Xiao Han, he snorted coldly and barged in directly.
Obviously, he also had some complaints about Xiao Han's wedding pattern.
However, this matter was decided by Empress Ma, and even Chang Yuchun could not refute it.
After all, in the Huaixi noble system, Queen Ma's status is not even weaker than Zhu Yuanzhang.
It’s okay for you to choke on what Zhu Yuanzhang said.
But if you dare to refute Queen Ma's decision, you will definitely be greeted by the iron fist of justice from the most powerful couple in the Ming Dynasty.
Xiao Han touched his nose, but didn't say anything.
After all, to be fair, even his daughter would feel uncomfortable if she slept with someone else's girl and got married together.
What's more, Chang Yuchun, who has an arrogant and overbearing temperament.
However, Chang Qingling didn't care at all about it. As long as she could marry Xiao Han, she would be satisfied.
No one in the Chang family tried to persuade him, and Chang Yuchun was helpless.
Otherwise, Chang Yuchun would have to talk to Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma at the risk of beheading.
And Empress Ma also saw exactly this in the two girls. She saw that the two girls were fascinated by Xiao Han and would never object.
That's why it's said.
Faced with this situation, even Chang Yuchun was helpless.
It can only turn sadness and anger... into sadness and anger.
He came here to drink today, and he would not return until he was drunk. Those at the same table with him would either arrange for someone to carry him back, or he would arrange for someone to carry him back.
It's just that I have pity on an old Huaixi brother like Tang He. This is an unreasonable disaster.
When everyone arrived, the British government held a banquet, and the long street in Jinling opened a flowing banquet.
"Fengxue, I respect you. If you work hard for the Ming Dynasty and give us guidance for the Ming Dynasty, you are truly unparalleled in the country."
"After this time, the southern border is thousands of miles away from the sky. I hope that from now on, we will have a great Ming Dynasty together across the world."
Mu Ying said, raised the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
"Brother Mu, do it!"
Xiao Han raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp. There was high-strength wine in the glass, but it was only a small cup, just enough for one sip.
"Fengxue, I don't have as many words as Muying. This little thing doesn't feel good after drinking. Let's drink three glasses in a row first."
Lan Yu came over, picked up the wine cup and was about to drink.
"If General Lan wants to have a good drink so much, I can accompany you."
Xiao Han frowned slightly, and Tong Zhangshun on the side immediately spoke calmly.
"Cough cough cough!"
"It's Meng Lang. As for Feng Xue, do what you can. Don't let down the beautiful lady tonight."
Lan Yu suddenly coughed and coughed up all the wine he had just drank.
"Um."
Xiao Han responded softly and took a drink.
…
"Come on, Feng Xue, we brothers have nothing to say. I also want to give you a cup. Well... I won't give you a big tonic soup today."
At the end of the crowd, Zhu Biao made his final appearance and said to Xiao Han.
"good."
Xiao Han's face turned red and he nodded.
At this time, the situation at Zhu Yuanzhang's table was even scarier than that of the protagonist Xiao Han.
He was clearly drinking, but he felt as bloody as a battlefield.
"Come!"
"Brothers, our family is happy that our daughter is getting married to the British Duke today."
"The British Lord, Xiao Fengxue rules the world!"
"The most talented person in the Ming Dynasty, and the child of His Majesty, he is the future pillar of our Ming Dynasty. Let's do it!"
Chang Yuchun held up the wine cup, his face red and his neck thick.
Xu Da:…
Tang He:…
Zhu Yuanzhang:…
Good guy, this guy has gone crazy today. This group of people have yelled at me twenty or thirty times.
Fortunately, Xiao Han had the foresight to replace all the large wine glasses with small wine cups.
Otherwise, this table would be so high that several people would lie down.
"Brother?"
Xu Da looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and asked tentatively.
"Drink, drink."
"Our son is getting married to your daughter, don't ruin the fun."
Zhu Yuanzhang also twitched the corners of his mouth.
He is worthy of being the Living King of Hell, the God of Killing Chang Yuchun. It’s really scary when he goes crazy.
Fortunately, they were all small wine cups, so Zhu Yuanzhang was not afraid anymore.
Anyway, even if you drink dozens of cups, it’s just over a kilogram.
Zhu Yuanzhang is also a good restaurant owner, so he will naturally not be intimidated by Chang Yuchun.
Don’t you just want to drink?
How about the emperor accompanying you? Is that enough to give you face?
Don't act like we are bullying others.
"Fengxue, after this glass of wine, it's already late."
"Don't keep the two sisters waiting."
Zhu Biao finished his drink and said to Xiao Han.
"Hey! What's the rush? This is..."
Lan Yu was about to speak when she instantly felt Tong Zhangshun's gaze.
"Ahem, cough, cough! This is a good time. Sir, please go quickly. We can just drink here. Don't miss the business."
Lan Yu chuckled.
Xiao Han got up and walked towards the new house.
At this time, in the new house, Chang Qingling and Xu Miaoyun were each wearing phoenix crowns and harems. The candlelight was swaying. They looked bright and moving, and they were helping each other put on their makeup.
Squeak!
The door opens.
Xiao Han's face was red and he walked in smelling of alcohol.
"Brother Fengxue."
When Chang Qingling saw Xiao Han, her eyes lit up and she wanted to rush over.
However, Xiao Han did not give her a chance to take the initiative first, and hugged her directly, then hugged Xu Miaoyun and walked towards the couch.
Squeak!
Behind her, Ruoyi stretched out her little hand and helped Xiao Han close the door.
For a moment, the red curtains were lightly fluttering, the candlelight was swaying, and the garden was filled with spring scenery.
(Qualified author, not familiar with the plot, omitting 100,000 words of unnecessary plot here, brothers are rich in imagination, make up their own minds)
…
Just when Xiao Han was enjoying his wedding, the situation on the side of the Lancang Kingdom was finally ignited to the extreme.
A decisive battle broke out between the pro-Awa clan alliance and the pro-Vietnam clan alliance. Artillery fire roared and the night was as bright as day.
"Brother Wan."
"The son of the pro-Awa clan alliance leader was assassinated and a decisive battle broke out in advance."
"us…"
Zhou Dexing hesitated to speak after looking at Wan Shan.
"I know."
"Do it!"
"Go directly eastward, leave all your baggage behind, and march eastward to the Ava Dynasty!"
"Anyone who dares to stop us will be killed!"
Wan Shanhou held a crumpled piece of news from Yingtian Mansion in his hand and spoke decisively.
"What?"
"Brother Wan, those are our wealth. If we throw them away, we will lose..."
Cheng Jian said in surprise.
"Shut up! If you want to live, just listen to me!"
Wan Shanhou shouted angrily, directly interrupting Cheng Jian's chatter.
With Wan Shanhou making the decision.
Three thousand bodyguards guarded the core members of these merchants and quickly headed towards the Kingdom of Ava.
At this time, the Lancang mountains seemed sparsely lit, and all the light converged on the place where the two sides fought.
Along the way, it can even be said that you can't even see your fingers.
The mountain road was rugged and there were not enough horses. It took the merchants and bodyguards half an hour to move forward only ten miles.
"Friends, where are you planning to go?"
Suddenly, a soft drink sounded on the road ahead.
A group of people blocked the other end of the road.
"Brother Wan, this is a Ming businessman who has occupied other hills in the Ming Dynasty. We..."
Zhou Dexing said with some hesitation.
"attack!"
"All artillery, fire, open the way for the main force!"
Wan Shanhou spoke coldly, interrupting Zhou Dexing's words.
Boom boom boom!
The thirty best artillery pieces left behind by Wan Shanhou and others opened fire instantly. The shells were like meteors, hitting the front hard in the light of the fire.
"madman!"
The person in front cursed angrily.
He had no choice but to choose to fight back.
Unfortunately, there are only one or two hundred men stationed on a hill, and the artillery is even more pitiful, with only two.
Facing the attack of Wan Shanhou and others, even if they were more powerful, they could not see the enemy clearly in the darkness and could not stop them at all. Within a quarter of an hour, their formation was broken up.
Wan Shanhou and others did not stop at all and continued to rush forward.
After traveling for more than ten miles, we encountered another obstacle, fought again, and successfully broke through.
Overnight, Wan Shanhou and others fought and marched fifty miles towards Ava.
British government.
The sky was bright, and Xiao Han, who had been taking a lot of soup for a long time, was still in trouble, and he got up from bed feeling refreshed.
At this time, Chang Qingling and Xu Miaoyun had woken up and put on their clothes.
"Your Highness, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to see you."
Outside the door, Zoey's voice sounded faintly.
"Um."
"I'll go right away."
Xiao Han was stunned for a moment, then spoke, and got dressed under the service of Chang Qingling and Xu Miaoyun. He didn't have time to wash up before he saw Zhu Biao.
"Snowstorm."
"There are changes in the Lancang Kingdom."
Zhu Biao took this urgent report and said to Xiao Han.
"What's wrong?"
Xiao Han asked in surprise.
The situation in the Lancang Kingdom is indeed quite serious. According to Xiao Han's estimation, the decisive battle will break out in the past two days. However, in his estimation, the strategic material reserves of both sides have not been perfected yet. They should at least We still have to wait two days, so it should be fine.
"Is such that."
"Just last night when you were getting married, a decisive battle broke out between them."
Zhu Biao said to Xiao Han.
"how come?"
There was a trace of astonishment on Xiao Han's face.
"An important pro-Awa figure was assassinated, and a decisive battle broke out in advance."
"Those merchants took advantage of this opportunity to head eastward. We arranged for the people who followed them to intercept them in a hurry, but all failed."
Zhu Biao opened his mouth to explain.
"It shouldn't be."
"The elite and special talents on both sides have been registered with us. It stands to reason that once this happens, our people should know first and be prepared."
Xiao Han frowned.
"That should indeed be the case, but according to the news that was rushed from eight hundred miles away, the person who carried out the assassination was not a master of the pro-Vietnam clan."
Zhu Biao said.
"Is that so?"
"hehe."
"So that's it. Queen Wanshan knows that I got married last night, so why did you come here like this?"
Xiao Han's frown immediately relaxed.
Perhaps, from the beginning, Queen Wan Shan had the intention of detonating the conflict between the two sides in advance and conducting a decisive battle to distract Ming's attention.
However, he was not sure whether Xiao Han would react if he took action rashly and urgently mobilize more people to intercept at key positions.
Therefore, it was not launched until Xiao Han's wedding. After all, it was impossible for Xiao Han, who was getting married, to let people break into his wedding room. This news could not be delivered to Xiao Han.
In this way, even if Zhu Biao got the news, it would be difficult to make arrangements that night.
After all, the businessmen who were assigned to the Lancang Kingdom were almost all industrial zone elites transferred from Xiao Han's command and directly connected with Xiao Han.
"How far they've come."
Xiao Hanfa asked.
"We are halfway through the journey. According to the time calculation, we have left the original mountain villa fifty miles away. In another few dozen miles, we will enter the territory of Ava."
"We should mobilize our manpower now to guard the pass from Lancang to Ava. It should be too late."
Zhu Biao said to Xiao Han.
"Hard to say."
"If I were the Queen of Wanshan, I would make everyone rush to march at all costs. When our order reaches Lancang and deployment is made nearby, they are afraid that they will also reach the border."
"But no matter what, I still have to try."
"Jiang You, immediately order us to arrange for the manpower on the hilltop on the border between Lancang and Ava to immediately go to the important border areas of the Lancang Kingdom to prepare to intercept the defecting merchants."
Immediately, Xiao Han waved his hand and said.
"promise!"
Jiang You responded and immediately went down to make arrangements.
"Probably not."
"After all, they are just businessmen and bodyguards. Can they really march like an army through the night without any internal problems?"
Zhu Biao also frowned slightly. He had this mentality, so he didn't choose to break into Xiao Han's wedding room at night.
"well!"
"According to the news, Queen Wan Shan has always adopted a training model for his team of escorts similar to military training."
"I'm not sure how well he will train his men."
"I didn't want to, I was hunting geese all day long, but the geese pecked my eyes. A small businessman almost jumped out of my chessboard while I was napping."
"Even if our people there infiltrate the Ming Dynasty soldiers, we may not be able to do it in time. We can only do our best."
Xiao Han sighed slightly.
Lancang Kingdom.
"Brother Wan."
"Our caravan only has a few dozen good horses. Let them take the lead. Once we encounter the Ming cavalry, it will be in danger."
"Besides, our people have been walking all night, and our brothers are almost exhausted. Why don't you find a place to drink some water first?"
This time, after hearing Wan Shanhou's decision, even Zhou Dexing, who had always been rational, couldn't help but persuade him.
Nothing else.
Wan Shanhou's decision is really hard to understand.
After a night of trekking, Queen Wanshan not only refused to drink water and eat dry food first, but instead asked for a rare rider among the bodyguards to ride on the few dozen fast horses in the team towards the nearest mountain pass leading to Ava. And go.
Not only does this make no sense, but it also sends away all those in the team who can be called cavalry.
"Brother Zhou, since you have decided to come out with me to have a try, please believe me. We are grasshoppers on a rope now, and I will not harm you."
Wan Shanhou held an almost torn copy of Sun Tzu's Art of War in his hand and spoke calmly.
"Brother Wan, no, I..."
Cheng Jian wanted to say something else, but he was choked back when he met the cold gaze of Queen Wan Shan.
"Lone Wolf, tie broomsticks to the tails of all the horses. You go this way and leave traces along the way. Make them as obvious as possible."
Wan Shanhou turned to Lone Wolf and said.
"I will obey my master's instructions."
Lone Wolf took the order and immediately led the people there.
"Brother Wan, what should we do next? Follow them?"
Zhou Dexing asked Wan Shanhou.
"No!"
"Let's go this way, to the other exit."
Wan Shanhou shook his head and said.
"But it's far there. We have to walk twenty miles more."
Cheng Jian looked at the other side and then at the map.
"If you don't want to die, just shut up!"
Wan Shanhou glanced at Cheng Jian.
He didn't bother to explain anything now.
Anyway, if the bet is right, then he is right and everyone will live. If the bet is wrong, everyone will die together, and Cheng Jian will have no chance to scold him.
Cheng Jian shrank his neck angrily and stopped talking.
Lancang border.
A group of more than a hundred caravan escorts received Xiao Han's urgent order through special channels and quickly headed to the designated location.
Hu Yan is a businessman with a fortune of tens of millions, but he is not a direct businessman in Xiao Han's industrial chain on the Ming side, but was recruited from the Yue side.
After all, Xiao Han's industrial chain has not been established for a long time, and his direct business personnel are not sufficient, so he selected some Yue businessmen as supplements. In this way, the caravans on the Yue side can also look like More like real.
