The rain is getting heavier.

When Xiao Chengyu arrived at the Xuanzhou Posthouse, he was already soaked. After he settled the people, he went back to the room, took out the bag, changed the wet clothes on his body, poured himself a cup of hot water, and served Standing in front of the window holding a teacup, quietly watching the torrential rain outside the window, thinking that Lin Xueman was still imprisoned by him, he sighed, put the teacup on the table, walked to the bed, leaned on the quilt, I can't help but have mixed feelings in my heart....

At this time, someone knocked on the door, and it was a woman's voice: "My lord, bring ginger soup."

"Come in!" Xiao Chengyu replied casually, got up and stood in front of the window, thinking quietly.

The woman walked in with her head down, put the ginger soup on the table, but did not leave, but quietly walked behind him, and whispered: "My lord, it's me!"

Xiao Chengyu heard that the voice was a little familiar, he hurriedly turned his head to look, and was surprised, this woman turned out to be Su Jin!

She, didn't she go to Beizhao?

what happened?

"You, why are you here?" Xiao Chengyu couldn't help but turn pale with shock, he could hardly believe his eyes.

"My lord, those robbers hijacked me just now, and my lord didn't move at all!" Su Jin said, took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his eyes, and said, "If I didn't try my best to escape, I'm afraid I won't be able to see my lord." !"

"You said you were the one who was hijacked just now?" Xiao Chengyu looked at her in disbelief and said, "But I saw with my own eyes that the person sitting in the carriage was you!"

"It was Taoxin who was afraid that something would happen to me, so, so. We changed our clothes, but they hijacked me..." Su Jin said with drooping eyes, "At this point, we can only make mistakes!"

"No." Xiao Chengyu stood up abruptly, and said in a deep voice, "Go, I'll send you to Beizhao right now, explain the reason to them, and explain it before it's too late. Tao Xin is just a court lady, how can she marry for you, it will be bad of!"

"No, I don't want to marry to Beizhao, I only have adults in my heart!" Su Jin knelt at his feet, tugging at the hem of his clothes.Weeping, "Since God's will, why should you be so serious, I don't dare to expect you to like me and marry me, I just hope that I can be by your side in this life. Be a maid, you can do anything. I just ask you not to send me Beizhao!"

"Miss Su, let's discuss the matter, don't mix me with you, I will neither like you, nor marry you, and I don't need a maid!" Xiao Chengyu's face darkened, and he said urgently. "Tao Xin is just a court lady, she will reveal her secrets sooner or later! If the two countries turn against each other because of this, this trip will be meaningless!"

"And relatives and relatives, my lord is an imposing man of seven feet, but he can still say such words. Does Daqi's peace depend on women in exchange?" Su Jin sneered.

"Miss, you should have said these words to the emperor and empress back then, the officials are just following orders."

"Following orders?" Su Jin looked up at him, shook his head, and said, "Could it be that the lord has no compassion for me, no compassion, but just thinking about how to finish the errand so that I can go home early, right? ?”

"That's true!" Xiao Chengyu said expressionlessly.

"You..." Su Jin said, the circles of his eyes suddenly turned red.

Songzhu stood outside the door, listened, hurriedly opened the door and walked in, knelt down and said: "My lord, the matter has come to an end, and the slaves dare not hide it anymore. This matter, this matter was actually arranged by the empress, even Miss Su Without knowing it, the empress does not want the young lady to marry to Beizhao, so she made such a bad plan." After speaking, she hurriedly took out a letter from her bosom, offered it with both hands, and said, "Everything said by this servant is true. , please take a look."

Xiao Chengyu took the letterhead, looked at it, sighed, and waved at the two of them: "Let me think about this again, you guys go down!"

"Yes!" Su Jin and Song Zhu looked at each other.

The eyes of the two people brightened, and they quietly retreated.

At midnight, the rain stopped.

Xiao Chengyu was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, completely insomnia. He never thought that the Empress Empress would give him such a difficult problem. The reason why she did this was completely out of selfishness, and it must have been hidden from the emperor, that is to say The emperor insisted on sending Su Jin to Beizhao, but the queen agreed on the surface, but secretly, she had someone rob Su Jin, and finally let that Tao Xin marry him.

So, if Beizhao found out that the one married was only a court lady, how would he react?

Did he lead his troops to attack from embarrassment?

Or is it wrong to be wrong?

He was momentarily distraught.

After pondering for a long time, he simply got up and called Xu Quanyou who lived next door to him, and said, "Order me, don't rush tomorrow, and camp here, and notify the defenders in Xuanzhou to prepare for battle at any time."

"My lord?" Xu Quan asked doubtfully.

Didn't he already marry Beizhao?

How come you're going to prepare for battle again?

"Yesterday, it was Princess Heshuo who were kidnapped by those people. If Beizhao finds out, I don't think they will stop there." Xiao Chengyu raised his eyebrows and said seriously, "Go get ready!"

"But my lord..." Xu Quanyou was taken aback, "I saw Princess Heshuo in the car yesterday!"

"Go!" Xiao Chengyu didn't say any more, just raised his eyes and looked out of the Youyou window, and said in a deep voice, "Don't say anything about this, let's prepare first! Just in case!"

"Yes!" Xu Quanyou frowned and hurried out.

Under the cover of the night, a fast horse hurriedly crossed the desert and headed towards Beizhao.

After reading the letter, King Beizhao, who hadn't had time to take off his happy clothes, patted the table angrily, and said angrily, "It's unreasonable for such a big country to keep its promises and keep its promises. It's unreasonable to use a court lady to fool the king!"

After saying that, she turned around and walked towards the bed, pulled off the hijab on the bride's head, and said coldly, "Are you the princess of Mingzhu?"

"Back to the king, I am a concubine, I am not a concubine!" Seeing his angry look, Tao Xin's heart beat like a drum. She knew that the matter had been exposed, so after thinking about it, she had to answer truthfully, "Originally, originally, it was indeed a bright pearl." The princess was married, but, but the robbers broke up on the road, so, the concubine..."

"Hmph! What nonsense!" King Beizhao threw his hijab on the ground and roared as he walked. "Come on, quickly assemble the army and set off today!"

Hearing this, Tao Xin's face suddenly turned pale, and she collapsed on the bed, feeling powerless all over her body.

She finally understood that from the very beginning, the empress did not want Su Jin to marry, and she was the one chosen by the empress from the palace to marry.It's just that she was kept in the dark along the way.

At the beginning of November in the 23rd year of Daqi Yong'an, Beizhao aggressively invaded Xuanzhou on the border of Daqi in the name of Daqi's unfaithful words.

Xiao Chengyu, who had been prepared for a long time, faced the battle on the spot.

Two days later, Ma Haoxuan wanted to lead his army back home in the name of crusade against Beizhao.But he was ordered by the emperor to rectify on the spot and continue to guard the border, only Ma Haoxuan came back alone.

The whole army was very angry, thinking that the small people in the court were worried about their high achievements, so they would not be allowed to come back, and they wrote letters to insist on pulling out of the village and returning to Beijing.

The emperor urgently ordered Nalan Yunxuan to prepare for the battle urgently.And dispatched troops from the capital to Yuzhou for support.

For a while, people in Yuzhou City were panicked.

Many people fled to the mainland with their children.Before the war started, the city was already in chaos.

"Lord Qin!" Xu Yuanqi looked at Qin Sanlang who was sitting opposite, thought for a while, and said in a deep voice, "Now, the southwest border is in chaos, and Master Xiao is fighting on the spot. He can't take care of himself, so naturally he can't take care of his wife. You see , Let’s forget about Madam Xiao’s matter! It’s not a big deal, it’s just that the adults are angry for a while!”

He picked up the teacup, took a sip, and looked at Qin Sanlang calmly.

"Master Xu's words are very true!" Qin Sanlang frowned, "It's just that this matter is too difficult, Prince Rong personally ordered that Lin Xueyi could not be found, Madam Xiao can only be wronged for a while! In fact, I don't want to let her out !"

"My lord, Prince Rong is preparing for the battle urgently, and he can't take care of these trivial matters anymore!" Xu Yuanqi smiled and said, "If Lord Xiao comes back and asks you to release Mrs. Xiao, will you let her go or not?"

"This?" Qin Sanlang said with a look of embarrassment on his face, "If Master Xiao wants to release him, then of course he will!"

"That's all right! If Prince Rong pursues it, you can say that Master Xiao ordered him to be released, and he will naturally not punish you!" Xu Yuanqi raised his eyebrows and said, "In any case, they are husband and wife after all, even if Xiao Xiao If your lord knows that you falsely pass on his orders, he will also acquiesce."

Qin Sanlang was silent for a moment when he heard this, and sighed: "Of course I know this, but it's not easy to explain to Prince Rong. Besides, the current situation is so chaotic, it is safe for her to stay here. You know, I didn't Treat her like a prisoner."

"Of course I know this, but no matter how good this place is, it is a prison cell after all. Even if you are well-clothed and well-fed, you will lose your freedom after all. Besides, Mrs. Xiao still has a lot of things to do outside, so it's better to let her out while taking advantage of the chaos! "Xu Yuanqi persuasively persuaded.

"Let's talk about this matter after I report it to Prince Rong!" Qin Sanlang wondered.

"Since Mr. Qin has concerns, let the subordinates handle this matter!" Xu Yuanqi smiled slightly, got up and said, "I want to see Mrs. Xiao, is that okay?"

"Of course!" Qin Sanlang said hurriedly.

The sun once again shone through the window lattice and slanted down.

A little dust was flying in that ray of sunlight.

Lin Xueman stretched out her hand, wanting to catch the dust, but saw them passing lightly through the gap between her fingers, and flew to a place where the sun could not shine.

"Mrs. Xiao!" Xu Yuanqi stood in front of the cell door, looked at the quiet woman inside, and saw that there was a smile on the corner of her mouth, and she was still thinking about grabbing the dust, shaking her head, and calling her.

"Master Xu!" Lin Xueman's eyes flashed with surprise when he heard the words, and hurriedly walked up to him, asking, "Why are you here?"

"I'm passing by, come to see you!" Xu Yuanqi looked her up quietly, and said softly, "Are you okay?"

Lin Xueman smiled and said, "I live here, and I don't have to do anything. I can open my mouth for clothes and food. Besides, my parents have taken the child back to my hometown a few days ago. I have nothing to worry about now, which is fine." of!"

"Don't worry, ma'am, in the next two days, I will definitely find a way to release ma'am!" Xu Yuanqi looked around at the hard bed behind her and the bumpy ground inside, feeling a sharp pain in his heart.

How could she stay in such a place....

"Master Xu, don't worry about me anymore, I won't go out!" Lin Xueman said calmly, seeing him looking at the cell, he hurriedly said, "I don't stay here at night, Master Qin arranged another room..."

Counting the days, Xiao Chengyu should be back in these two days!

After so many days, his anger should have subsided, right?

Hearing this, Xu Yunqi felt a little better. He thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Your Majesty knows that Mrs. Xiao has been waiting for Mrs. Xiao to come back, but Mrs. Xiao can't come back now. Didn't Mrs. Qin tell you , the southwest border is in chaos..."

"The war?" Lin Xueman was taken aback, looked at Xu Yuanqi in disbelief, and asked, "Didn't you get married? How could there be a war?"

Why didn't Qin Sanlang disclose any news to her?

"Bei Zhao knew that the one who married was not Princess Mingzhu, so he became angry from embarrassment, so..." Xu Yuanqi saw that her expression became tense all of a sudden, and said, "Don't worry, Madam Xiao, good news has come from the southwest border, Master Xiao is very well prepared, Therefore, Beizhao is temporarily defeated!"

It seems that the reason why Qin Sanlang hid it from her was because he didn't want her to worry?

He regretted his recklessness! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
