Water Margin Survival

The reason why Kaifeng was able to become the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, apart from the fact that local affairs in Kaifeng were controlled by his younger brother Zhao Guangyi at that time, there is another very important objective reason, that is, the surrounding water system of Kaifeng is rich. The grain from the past can be transported to the capital conveniently and quickly, thus providing sufficient nutrients for the core city of the Great Song Dynasty.

This time, the marriage-giving missions from the Song Dynasty to Goryeo also went to the south of the Yangtze River by water.It is said that from the Song Dynasty to Korea, it is the fastest way to go to Jingdong Dengzhou. If the wind is in the right direction, it will take at most one or two days to set sail.Reluctantly, there is a big devil entrenched in Jubo in the east of Jingdong. Ever since this devil killed Gao Qiu, the third official of the court, everyone in the court feared him, but from Zhao Ji down, no one mentioned him publicly. .Anyway, Zhao Liangsi, the envoy to the Kingdom of Jin, had to divert to Hebei to go to sea in Song Dynasty's own land.Therefore, this trip to Korea is a continuation of the only southern route that existed when the relationship between Song and Li was cold, which is not unusual.

However, Princess Xianping has been a hard-working person since she was a child, and had to move around with her father whose official position was constantly changing, so the long journey may be the nightmare of other princesses and princesses of the Song Dynasty, but for this newly appointed princess For Xianping princess, it is no longer a rare thing.

So the boring itinerary is not a big problem, but the real big problem is that Princess Xianping really can't guess when the person he is waiting for will come.

Since leaving Beijing, she has been utterly yelled at by the two old maids who accompanied her, and they kept instilling special favors in her ears when she had nothing to do.The Princess Xianping, who was forced to have a good temper, was really angry later. I don't know which person who lacks great virtue gave the order.He was afraid that she would not be favored after she went to Korea.In the end, it ruined the great plan of the king and ministers of Song Dynasty.

Afterwards, the two women finally had a little memory, but they didn't dare to look so blank anymore.You must know that they followed the princess to Korea this time, and they will basically never come back.If they really hate the hostess in front of them, then their fate can be imagined.

There are many people with the same fate as them, such as the three unlucky accompanying imperial doctors, and the other nine colleagues, at least they still have five years to look forward to.At least I can go back to my homeland in my lifetime.But their whole life has been tied to the future of Princess Xianping.Among them is a figure who can be called a master in the field of obstetrics. Unfortunately, he was stuffed into the three-member medical team of Princess Hampyeong, and a mysterious person has warned him that if the queen of Korea does not give birth to a child in the future, he Families in Tokyo should be careful.

To say that among the imperial physicians, they are not completely excluded, mainly for the sake of the Song Dynasty's Koryo strategy in the future.Then the one hundred soldiers of the Golden Spear Squad accompanying them were completely filled with resentment.They were originally the guards who defended the emperor in the capital, who would want to go to Koryo to defend the queen?Not to mention downgrade.The place is remote, so in their view, this itinerary is simply a distribution.

The facts are indeed as they imagined. Anyone in the golden gun class who has no connections, it doesn't matter, will just bury their heads and do stupid things, and they are basically kicked into the guard team.Here comes a big package.

but.In this world, there is sorrow and joy.At least [-] beauties were very happy. Anyway, there was no hope in the Song Dynasty Palace. Maybe it was a blessing in disguise when they arrived in Korea, following the old saying that "a tree moves to death, and a person moves to live".At least Princess Xianping is very kind, and let them call her sister when no one else is around!The two old aunts who talked about "rules" and "rules" all day long were so angry that they wanted to beat them with a ruler.

With these thirty chattering maids of all sizes making fun of it, Princess Xianping’s journey to the south was finally easier. After a while, one person said, "Where did the fleet go? How many local imperial guards joined the escorting team?" Let’s say, “Seeing two disgraced officials being invited to board the boat by the envoy, their faces were full of reluctance, and one of them almost resisted the order!”

For these little girls who have never been out of the palace after entering the palace, everything they saw and heard along the way was so novel, without any sentimentality of going overseas.

Because of the existence of these small "eyes and ears", Cheng Wan'er gradually knew the specific situation of the entire team.

What her father told her was true. When they came out of Tokyo, there were 4 horses accompanying them for "escort". How difficult it must be for that person to snatch the marriage!

A woman's mind is always elusive.Cheng Wan'er herself felt a little tangled.For a while, she wished to escape from this depressing send-off team immediately, but for a while, she was worried that the person came too hastily and fell into Tong Guan's trap.

After walking on the road in such a tangled way for more than a month, the feeling of autumn is already very strong.In her opinion, the desolate scenery on both sides of the strait has a more lonely and desolate meaning.

The person she was waiting for never showed up.

……

"Sister, what kind of person do you think you are going to marry?" The curious little maid blinked her bright eyes, full of curiosity about the princess' future husband.

This was not the first time the little girl asked her such a question, every time Cheng Wan'er saw them, she always thought of Xiaohuan - she was forcibly left in the capital.For some reason, the imperial court only allowed her to go on the road alone. At this time, everyone around her was arranged by the imperial court afterwards.

"Sister, sister, they all said in private that King Goryeo is a 'treacher' who is used to 'abducting'! Not only did they make them unable to return to their families these days, but also abducted many imperial students and imperial physicians, and we Every time the fleet stops at a big city for the night, the Korean people will go to the city to hang up a list to recruit craftsmen. I heard that His Majesty personally allowed it! What do you think the King of Korea wants us to do with so many people in Song Dynasty? I'm going!"

The innocent words resembled Xiaohuan's a few years ago, Cheng Wan'er smiled lightly, her tone was so indifferent that she seemed to be talking about others, "Maybe, they are very short of people there!"

"Sister, is he the one you want to marry?" Curiosity is not a woman's shortcoming, nor is it a woman's advantage, but a woman's characteristic.

If she could get the answer, countless companions in front would have already got it.And every time Cheng Wan'er was asked this question, she reminded herself in her heart, how far is it from Mingzhou?

As she got closer and closer to the familiar city, Cheng Wan'er gradually regained her composure after being frightened to the extreme. She became more and more convinced that if there was no trace of abnormality along the way, then the most likely situation That is, that person will be waiting for her in Mingzhou.

This intuition is not without reason.

The last two times when she came to Mingzhou to visit her mother's grave, she ran into that person unexpectedly. The first time she rescued him, and the second time he rescued her. Even if she didn't believe in fate, she still had to say , She and him are really destined.

"Report to the princess, after passing the Siming Mountain, Mingzhou is not far ahead. If we go well, we can enter the city before dark today... Oh, I forgot that the princess is a local, but the villain is talking too much!"

The coachman was very excited to announce the good news. After traveling by water and land for several days, he finally arrived at the destination.And when he got here, his mission was completed, and he just waited to receive the reward after returning to Beijing.As for the nobleman in the car, it has nothing to do with him whether he is honored or humiliated after boarding the ship in Mingzhou Port.

Let’s just say, this is everyone’s fate!The driver looked back with pity in his eyes, feeling sorry for the nobles in the carriage.

Unexpectedly, the nobleman in the carriage did not feel uncomfortable at all, but entered a state of bewilderment in the eyes of outsiders. The closer he was to Mingzhou, the more obvious the incredible confident smile on his face.

Siming Mountain!

The red man on the mountain seems to be very famous in this area, and it is said that he is the recognized leader of the Jiangnan Green Forest in their Jianghu.I heard that he was his "dead" enemy back then!But right now, he is loyally following him. No wonder Uncle Wang always said that this man has a magical power that can make people die.

Bah, bah, bah, I'm not dead set on you!To tell the truth, you are also robbing a relative, and this princess is the victim!

There was a very natural smile on Qingcheng's face, Cheng Wan'er fell asleep in her reverie, and when she was awakened by the maid beside her in a daze, she realized that it was dark and the army of missions and escorts had already arrived in Mingzhou .Lou Yi, the prefect of Mingzhou, has already set up a grand pomp, waiting for the Princess Xianping who is about to go to Korea.

"Uncle Lou, I feel a little unwell and want to rest first, please don't be offended by uncle!"

Cheng Wan'er was still the same Cheng Wan'er, but Lou Yi no longer dared to put on the posture of an elder, and hurriedly said: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be! Since the princess is tired from driving and horses and is not feeling well, I will invite the princess to rest !"

After Lou Yi finished speaking, he personally led the way and brought Cheng Wan'er and his party to an elegant courtyard. Cheng Wan'er still thanked Lou Yi as a junior. A lot of convenience, Cheng Wan'er always remembers his kindness in her heart.

"The Princess don't want to do this again, just kill the subordinate officials! By the way, the Princess rests first, and the servants will order someone to bring the dinner!" Lou Yi also had a good impression of this colleague's daughter. Extraordinary but not coquettish, she is a template character for everyone's ladies.It's a pity, it's just that life is not very good.

"Uncle Lou, my family has eaten food on the road, and now I just want to wash up and go to bed, so I won't bother uncle anymore!" Cheng Wan'er politely declined.

Seeing her insistence, Lou Yi thought for a while and said, "Okay, the princess should take a rest! However, I don't know if the princess knows it, but the Korean envoy specifically proposed that he will set off for sea tomorrow morning!"

"Ah! So urgent!?" The maid behind Cheng Wan'er said in surprise.

Cheng Wan'er's expression changed slightly when she heard the words, but thinking that the team had been on the road for so long, and today they went down Siming Mountain again, the news that should have been spread had already been spread, and her expression turned calm immediately, and she thanked, "Thank you uncle for reminding me! "

Lou Yi looked at the niece, sighed lightly, saluted and left.

Cheng Wan'er arranged for the maid to live in another room, and locked the door after she entered the room. She sat quietly under the red curtains alone, and began a long and persistent wait. (to be continued~^~)
