Rebirth of the Demon Queen

Chapter 11 Offense

As soon as this sound came out, the horse owner and several of the guys took two steps back and looked at Lin Wenjing and Lin Zisu with surprised expressions.

Everyone looked towards the place where the voice was coming from, and saw a young man outside the crowd wearing a golden robe and a gold crown. He looked like a rich man, and he was followed by two men in green clothes.

This young man was none other than Zhao Shixun, the third son of the Changping Prefecture, whom Lin Zisu had met a few days ago.

Seeing Zhao Shixun's extraordinary bearing, people gave way to him one after another. Zhao Shixun smiled and walked to Lin Zisu's side, and ordered a senior attendant behind him: "Go to the Beicheng Military and Horse Division, invite Deputy Commander Xu over, and tell Ma

There is a situation in the city.”

After speaking, Zhao Shixun raised his head and looked at the sun in the sky, and then stopped the chief attendant and said: "Deputy Commander Xu probably hasn't gone out yet. Go to the eldest princess's house quickly. When you see him, tell him, 'Don't come back again.'"

But there’s no chance.”

Lin Zisu originally wanted to test how much of her kung fu she had in her previous life. Zhao Shixun naturally lost the chance to make a move because of Zhao Shixun's interference. Feeling bored in her heart, she said coldly to the horse owner: "Hey, my money

Will you accept it or not?"

According to the Dayan system, all the descendants of the clan lords who are over fifteen years old and have no official position can go to the Five Cities Military and Horse Division to get a job and gain experience. Therefore, it is common for these young men to use their power to bully others and bully the market.

This Zhao Shixun had been swaggering around the market all day, and the horse owner seemed familiar to him. When he heard him say that Lin Zisu was a "noble man", and saw that he sent someone to invite the deputy commander of the Beicheng Army and Horse Division, he was immediately frightened and knelt down.

He begged for mercy: "Girl, please spare the little one this time. You can take the horse away now. The little one will go home tomorrow... No no... The little one will go home right now."

, took the boy's deed of sale and sent it to his house."

Seeing that the horse owner had given in, Lin Zisu and Lin Wenjing got together to discuss it for a few words. The two brothers and sister had the same idea and both laughed.

So when the horse owner begged for help, Lin Wenjing forced himself to give the horse owner thirty taels of silver. After explaining the location of Uncle Kang Ning's mansion, he ordered Wang Shiliang to take the horse and leave together.

Lin Zisu rested her right hand on the carriage with a thoughtful look on her face, seemingly turning a deaf ear to the noise outside the carriage. Amber looked at his lady's beautiful side face with a slightly sad expression, and tentatively asked: "Miss, it's better to go out early in the morning."

I'm happy, but where do I feel uncomfortable?"

Lin Wenjing and Xu Wentao were walking in front, and Xu Wentao never stopped talking, asking questions about his age, preferences, and topics from the south of the sky to the north of the sea.

It turns out that the gentleman's appearance just now was just a disguise. Is this group of people entangled with him? Lin Zisu was a little confused and hurriedly stopped Xu Wentao and said: "I don't get reward for no merit. I don't dare to ask for your horse. If you

If you are really serious, just accompany us to pick out horses."

Everything happens for a reason, and there are not so many coincidences in the world. What do this group of people want to do?

Thinking of Prince Dun and Xu Wentao's group, Lin Zisu couldn't help but feel dizzy. In her last life, she encountered inhumane things. Fortunately, God was merciful and gave her a chance to be reborn.

Princess Yong'an wrote on the invitation that they would gather at the same time, and Lin Zisu arrived at the west gate of the city just after the first quarter of the day.

Hearing what Lin Zisu said, Amber opened her mouth in shock, "Miss, are you overthinking it? This outing was invited by Princess Yong'an. Who would dare to plot against Miss?"

Lin Zisu had a little accident when she went out. She wanted to ride a horse, but Bi didn't allow it. After Bi's persuasion, she had to wear a lavender riding outfit and sit in the carriage with Amber.

, letting her white pony follow the carriage.

Riding horses is prohibited in the capital, and those who can ride horses openly in the bustling city are either high-ranking officials or members of the government.

How could I end up with such a son!

Princess Yong'an rubbed her brows with a look of helplessness on her face, "Brother Tao, I don't care how you mess around in the capital on weekdays. This marriage must not be a trivial matter. How can you be like this when you meet another girl?

He just wanted to marry someone who came into the house."

Xu Wentao nonchalantly ordered the attendant behind him, "Ye Feng, go to the mansion and choose two good ponies and send them to Uncle Kang Ning's mansion."

Although Lin Wenjing was not familiar with these people, he returned the greetings one by one.

Xu Wentao's skill in selecting horses was really extraordinary, and he knew the horse market thoroughly. While Lin Zisu and Wang Shiliang were talking, Xu Wentao chose a horse for each of Lin Wenjing and Lin Zisu, together with the saddle, whip, reins, etc.

Selected together.

"It's a good thing to go out for an outing, but it's not fun if someone else plots against you."

After everything was ready, Xu Wentao volunteered to send the two of them home. He always looked for opportunities to chat with Lin Zisu along the way. After going around and around, it was almost noon when the two brothers and sisters were sent to the door by Xu Wentao.

"Miss Lin, how are you doing lately?"

Xu Wentao seemed to understand what he said, patted his shoulder, nodded and said: "You are right, but we can't let Jingzhao Mansion steal the spotlight from this commander."

There are only about twenty people in Uncle Kang Ning's house including his servants, and there are several vacant courtyards in the backyard.

Zhao Shixun thought he had given enough hints, but Xu Wentao didn't look at him at all.

Xu Wentao said nonchalantly.

In the princess's carriage, Xu Wentao was laughing and holding up a cup of tea and handing it to Princess Yong'an, while his sister Xu Fangruo was huddled in the corner of the carriage and reading quietly, as if today's outing had nothing to do with her.

"Thank you very much, mother, for helping your son. I will leave all my son's lifelong affairs to you."

The spring breeze at the end of February was still a bit chilly, but Zhao Shixun was sweating a little, and he was already talking a little bit. Fortunately, there was a rapid sound of horse hooves in the distance, which calmed him down.

After a while, more and more people came, and the carriages lined up along the official road. Familiar families gathered together to greet each other and chat, and the place suddenly became bustling.

Lin Zisu remembered that the family was short of servants. Wang Qingsheng was honest and simple, so he could keep him as his brother's long-term follower.

As he spoke, he waved to the young masters who came with him and said, "I heard that there are people doing evil in this horse market, so I asked Mr. Zhao to go and identify them. You can take them as you please."

Zhao Shixun was a bit dumbfounded. He didn't come to him just to fetch the prisoner. He bit the bullet and said, "Brother Xu, the weather is so nice today, so there is no need to come here from Jingzhao Mansion."

"Nankang is a marriage granted by the emperor."

Lin Zisu was afraid of being entangled by this group of dandies again, so she just walked forward with Lin Wenjing. Zhao Shixun said again: "Miss Lin wants to buy horses for the family? I know a thing or two about horse fortune.

I can help the girl with her eyes."

"Mom, what you said is wrong. My cousin from Nankang and my cousin's husband got married after just one meeting. It is still a good story in Beijing."

Xu Wentao was immediately overjoyed. He put his arm around Lin Wenjing's shoulders and moved forward. Lin Wenjing had never been so close to anyone before and looked at Lin Zisu with a embarrassed expression.

"The Ningyuan horses in the north are tall, majestic and fast, suitable for riding by Mr. Lin. The short-footed horses in the south are stable, gentle and small, and are most suitable for girls to ride."

Wang Qingsheng's body deed had been sent to his house long ago, and Bi was still confused. After Lin Zisu explained it, she finally understood it clearly.

Listening to the confused conversation between these two people, Lin Zisu frowned unconsciously and said: "The two young masters have official business, so I will take my leave."

In the previous life, Xu Wentao was famously fierce and domineering in the capital. With the power of King Dun and the support of the eldest princess Yong'an, no matter whether it was princes, ministers or nobles from aristocratic families, they would be entangled in each other if there was even the slightest disagreement.

Zhao Shixun was stunned for a moment. The person he went to report to had not come back yet. If Lin Zisu left, it would be the end!

Zhao Shixun said anxiously: "That's not what you say. Youdao means that we are all brothers in the four seas. No one in the world knows you. It doesn't matter if we meet by chance. We know each other after we come and go."

Perhaps he had been restrained for too long in his previous life. Lin Zisu was looking forward to this rare opportunity for an outing. Early in the morning on the third day of March, Lin Zisu called Lin Wenjing and rushed to the west gate of the capital.

.

My sister is still a baby, and this young master has been pestering her, which is really outrageous!

He spent a lot of time talking, but the Lin brothers and sisters still walked forward indifferently.

In the remaining days, Lin Zisu stayed in the backyard of her home to "learn" horseback riding. She also dug out a crude small bow from the utility room, and also "learned" the art of bowing.

It is not a good thing for a fierce and domineering person to suddenly change his temper in front of him.

Zhao Shixun followed Xu Wentao and listened to Xu Wentao's chatter. He did not hide the disgust on his face. When did his boss become such a mother-in-law?

Now that someone had done the work for him, Lin Zisu took the time to inquire about Wang Shiliang's origins.

Xu Wentao said impassionedly, "Anyone who commits evil in broad daylight is a thief. It is the job of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division to arrest and punish thieves."

With a flurry of excitement, Zhao Shixun saw clearly who was coming, and immediately he was overjoyed and shouted loudly: "Brother! Big brother! You're finally here!"

It turned out that the eldest daughter of the Lin family was not frightened. Only then did Xu Wentao react and he breathed a sigh of relief. He glanced at the sick bay horse behind Lin Wenjing and said with a smile: "Miss Lin wants to buy something."

Horses? This is my master’s forte.”

She opened a corner of the curtain and saw three carriages and several horses waiting by the official road outside the city gate. Several young men saw Lin Wenjing and nodded in greeting.

Lin Zisu was proficient in bowing and horses in her previous life. Since becoming the queen, taking into account the queen's majesty, she has never touched a bow or horse again.

Bi was a little worried about the money, but since her daughter had already spent the money, considering Wang Qingsheng's poor background and Lin Wenjing's lack of a long-term follower, she reluctantly agreed.

Lin Wenjing politely invited Xu Wentao to come and sit for a while. This time, Xu Wentao was quite measured and said something like "It's very disrespectful to come to the door rashly" and then rode away.

Lin Zisu smiled helplessly, recalling what she had experienced in the past few days. First, she had a "chance encounter" with Liang Mingtai at the flower viewing party, and then she met Xu Wentao at the horse market who was courteous for nothing. The initiator of this outing, Yong'an Chang,

The princess is Xu Wentao's mother.

Zhao Shixun followed Lin Zisu and said with a flattering smile: "Miss Lin was so kind just now. I am really ashamed of myself."

I thought I would live this life in peace and harmony, but unexpectedly I ended up getting entangled with these playboys inexplicably.

Lin Zisu tilted her head and said with a depressed look.

"We, brother and sister, can wander around as we please. Don't bother me, sir."

This Wang Shiliang, whose real name is Wang Qingsheng, is from the suburbs of Beijing. He was given to a neighbor for foster care by his parents since he was a child. His adoptive father was originally a scholar in the countryside. Due to the severe drought in the capital last year, both his adoptive parents died of drought and epidemic. He was forced to make a living.

Commit yourself to slavery.

Lin Zisu saw her brother's embarrassment. Although she couldn't stand Xu Wentao, she couldn't help laughing out loud. Xu Wentao said: "Master Lin, we feel like old friends at the first sight. We didn't know each other very much in the past, but we can't get along with each other in the future."

Move around more.”

Later, when he was leading troops, he still had a hot temper. The surrounding tribes could not bear the bullying and complained to Xie Yao every year.

Zhao Shixun was a little helpless and simply pointed at Lin Zisu and whispered: "Brother Xu, business matters are important. It is Jingzhao Mansion's business to take care of people. It is not good for us to overstep our bounds."

Thinking about her impulse outside Zhuangzi that day, Lin Zisu felt a little regretful. If she had obediently given the pearl flower to Xie Xi, wouldn't there have been so many troubles?

While Lin Zisu was waiting outside the west city gate, Princess Yong'an had already left the princess's residence and was coming here.

Lin Zisu immediately rejected Xu Wentao.

Is this another side of Xu Wentao today, or is he deliberately disguising himself in front of himself?

Seeing that Lin Zisu seemed to be turning a blind eye to him, Xu Wentao thought that Lin Zisu was frightened, so he wanted to speak out for her, and said to Zhao Shixun: "I heard that someone has offended Miss Lin. This person, Jingzhao Mansion, can

Have you ever been arrested?"

Lin Wenjing stopped and gave a bow to Zhao Shixun and said, "Thank you very much for your help, young master. However, since we met by chance, there is no need to bother the young master anymore."

Previously, in order to develop carpentry, the two siblings built a large yard behind Lin Wenjing's yard and named it "Tiangongyuan". There was a large open space in the middle of the yard, which was just right for them.

Lin Zisu used it to practice horse riding.

Xu Wentao dismounted and saluted Lin Zisu. It was rare for Zhao Shixun to see Xu Wentao's polite appearance, and his mind was a little dull. His elder brother Xu had always been careless, so why did he seem to have changed?

Not only Zhao Shixun, but also Lin Zisu's mind didn't change for a while.

Princess Yong'an gently poked Xu Wentao's forehead with her finger, "If the emperor can grant you a marriage, I won't have a headache."

"Mom, look what you said, now that my eldest brother is married and has children, apart from my sister and me, is there anything else that can give you a headache?"

"If I had known you were so interested, I would have gone to this year's Hundred Flowers Banquet. I heard that this girl is from a low background, but she has pretty good talents?"

Thinking of the news that people had inquired about in the past few days, Princess Yong'an smiled and said seriously: "Mother, I will make a three-part agreement with you first. If mother seems to be okay with it later, then it will be up to you. Let's make a decision first."

If you want to get married, just ask her to make a side room for you in the future. If Mom doesn’t like it, then let this matter go and don’t mention it again in the future.”
