The Marquis Is Innocent

Chunniang was startled.

She had indeed heard the name.

When she first arrived at the Wei family a few months ago, she inquired about Zheng Shu privately. At that time, she accidentally heard some clues from an old woman who had worked in the Wei family for many years. Later, after finishing talking about Zheng Shu in front of the queen, she was about to talk about this person when she was interrupted.

Chunniang originally planned to find another opportunity to tell Xiao Qiao later. But then, she found that the male gentleman began to share the room with the female gentleman after returning to Yuyang, and the relationship between the two seemed to be getting more and more harmonious, so Chunniang hesitated again.

After all, that woman named Su Ehuang was a long time ago. She married a woman early, and now she is far away. Since the male and female monarchs are in harmony, it seems that she does not need to mention it in front of the female monarch. , so as not to add to her annoyance out of thin air. So Chunniang never made any premise in front of Xiao Qiao since then. At this moment, I suddenly heard her ask herself, raised her eyes, saw her hazy eyes staring at herself, soaked in the mist of the bath soup, hesitated, and tentatively said: "Why did the lady suddenly mention this name? Could it be that you heard about it? what?"

Seeing her like this, Xiao Qiao knew that she must have heard of something before. A scorpion leaned against Bai Nen's elbow and smiled: "I know a little. What Chunniang knows, tell me first. listen."

…

Su Ehuang is the eldest daughter of the Su family of Xuanping Hou of Zhongshan, and the Su family is also a relative of the King of Zhongshan. When she was born, it was said that the room was full of fragrance and fragrant, and her mother asked an alchemist to make a fortune for her. The alchemist said that this woman has a very precious life.

The Su family was already a marquis and was already extremely wealthy. Having a daughter would have an extremely precious life. The implied meaning is self-evident. The whole family was very happy and loved her like a treasure. Su Ehuang lived up to the expectations of her family. She gradually grew up, with an outstanding appearance. She was good at discipline and singing like a hundred spirits. Not only was everyone known in Zhongshan, but the fame of the Su family girl gradually spread to Luoyang.

The Su family and Mrs. Xu are close. More than ten years ago, when Wei Shao's father Wei Jing was still alive, the two families often walked around. Su Ehuang and Wei Shao knew each other when they were young, and took great care of Wei Shao, who was two years younger than him.

In addition to paying attention to the right match, the current marriage is also popular to seek a big wife, and it is appropriate for the woman to be three or two years older than the man. When Su Wei grew up, the two families saw that the two were a perfect match, and once thought of marriage. Unexpected circumstances, when Wei Shao was twelve years old, a major accident happened to the Wei family. Both Wei Jing and his eldest son were killed in battle. . In the first year, there was still contact between the two, and gradually, the contacts between the two became sparse. Three years later, when Wei Shao was fifteen years old, and in the year when he began to take charge of the military under the cultivation of Mrs. Xu, the seventeen-year-old Su Ehuang married. Her husband was Zuo Fengyi Gong Liu Li, the younger brother of Emperor Xuan at the time. The emperor settled in Luoyang with her husband, and went in and out of the palace. It didn't take long before she was given the title "Mrs. Yulou", which was famous in Luoyang.

It is said that her husband doted on her very much, and built a Chinese building for her in the north of Litai, Luoyang, named Yulou, and she got this title.

…

What Chunniang had heard about Su Ehuang's past from the old Wei family's mouth was a bit sloppy, and it was probably just these things.

Chunniang didn't know that the sky was jealous of her beauty, the Han family was declining, and Emperor Su E had been in Luoyang for less than three years when Emperor Xuan died of a sudden illness. Emperor Xuan had no children and had two brothers, one was Su E Huang's husband Liu Li, and the other was Hedong King Liu Ai. He led a large army into Luoyang, called Liu Ai the Emperor Xuan, killed Liu Ai in the name of King Qin, and chose Liu Tong, a seven-year-old from the clan, as the emperor, and he has been in control of the government until now. Liu Li was under strict surveillance again. Liu Li was unhappy and unhappy. He died of illness last year, and Su Ehuang Wenjun was newly widowed. For some reason, now he has returned to Zhongshan.

…

"Apart from those, when my husband was young, what relationship did he have with Mrs. Yulou? If you know about Chunniang, don't hide it from me, you must tell me!"

Xiao Qiao asked coquettishly.

Chunniang obviously didn't want to say more, but she couldn't stand Xiao Qiao's coquettish behavior, so she had to say again: "...The maid has never heard of anything else...I just listened to the old woman, although the male gentleman and his family were out of the siege. , but was also seriously injured, and it took half a year to raise it, and during those days, Su Nu stayed at the Wei family to take care of..."

Xiao Qiao blinked, and a diamond-like water droplet that was condensed on her eyelashes by the mist rolled down.

"The water is all cold, get up and get dressed, and then soak it down carefully to cool it down."

Chunniang said it, and seemed to regret it, she hurriedly stopped, and changed her words to urge Xiao Qiao to come out.

Xiao Qiao snorted, smiled at Chunniang, took the bath towel handed over, and got up and came out of the water.

…

When Ye Yuanshi died. The next day Zhongshan state mourned. Mourning after seven days. Mrs. Xu stayed until the funeral was over. She was tired and mourned for many days. The next morning after the funeral, she was about to leave, but she couldn't get up. Liu Duan was very frightened, so he invited the imperial doctor for a joint consultation. Fortunately, it was diagnosed that Mrs. Xu was only infected with a small ailment. After taking the medicine, Xiao Qiao served day and night. After a few days, she slowly recovered. Liu Duan breathed a sigh of relief, and served more and more attentively.

Mrs. Xu was raised for a few more days, and she recovered from her illness. It has been nearly a month since she came out of this trip. She kept the Wei Shao war in her heart, and set off on another day to return.

On the eve of the return journey, Liu Duan held a banquet again at the palace to see him off. Mrs. Xu was tired and did not show up, and asked Xiao Qiao to attend on her behalf. That night, Zhong Nuo accompanied her, and Xiao Qiao was dressed in gorgeous clothes, shining brightly, sitting in the center of the distinguished guest's chair, surrounded by the royal family and a group of male and female guests.

After returning from the banquet, Mrs. Xu asked Zhong Li privately.

Zhong Nu replied, "The maid, Guan Nujun, is of high quality and immortal.

…

When Mrs. Xu ended the nearly one-month long journey and took Xiao Qiao on the road back to Yuyang, the two armies of Wei Shao and Chen Xiang who were far away in Taihang had already had several roundabout trials and confrontations. There are advances and retreats. Yesterday, the two armies finally encountered Leping in the north of Taihang.

In the late spring of April, on the boundless wilderness of Leping, fragrant grasses are blooming, and flowers are fascinated. On such a late spring morning, Wei Shao and Chen Xiang's more than 300,000 horses fought together.

This is a field battle with the largest number of people and the fiercest fighting between the two sides in the north in the past ten years. Youzhou Wei Shao and Bingzhou Chen Xiang, the two largest warlords in the north, after so many years of stalemate, now, both sides seem to have been impatient, each yearning for this last battle to completely eliminate their opponents, and then achieve A decisive victory for his own ambition to dominate the North. The infantry and horsemen of both sides were fully engaged. After the battle of the formation, when the two armies really fought together, in the end, there was only life-and-death hand-to-hand combat, tactics and tactics, all of which were useless in this flat wilderness.

The war began early in the morning, and the originally quiet and beautiful Leplain field turned into a purgatory on earth. There were the dead and the wounded struggling in a pool of blood. At the end of the piles of **** people who were entangled and fell down, it was impossible to tell which ones were from Bingzhou and those were from Youzhou.

After several hours of fighting, Sergeant Chen Xiang finally couldn't hold it any longer, and some people started to retreat and escape.

Although Chen Xiang's foundation in Bingzhou was also passed down from his grandfather's generation, it can be said to be deeply ingrained, but Chen Xiang was a narrow-minded person. The two armies fought to such an extent that they were either dead or alive. Once the army was distracted, they would be frightened like a flock of sheep. Soon Sergeant Chen Xiang rushed to flee for his life, and General Chen Xiang even killed several barnyard generals who took the lead in escaping. Unstoppable, Wei Shaojun took the opportunity to beat drums and attacked violently, and chased for more than 20 miles in one breath. Chen Xiangjun threw away his armor and armor, and discarded countless baggage along the way. Chen Xiang was defeated, and finally escaped under the desperate protection of his cronies and fled to Jinyang. On the way, I got news that Jinyang had been overrun by Wei Shao's troops and horses. In desperation, he raised his sword and killed himself. He was stopped by his cronies. He wanted revenge several times, but his strength was not good enough, and he was completely helpless. The old injury relapsed the following year, and he died of depression.

…

The next day, Wei Shao's army entered Jinyang. Li Dian took over the city defense, defending the power to appease the people. Capture Chen Xiang's family of more than 200 people, kill all the men, and turn the women into slaves. Wei Shao entered the Jinyang envoy's government office, and the deputy general Tan Fu came to report, saying that he had noticed a woman in a group of escorted female prisoners who was tall and different from others. She walked awkwardly and had doubts in her heart. , recognized Chen Rui, the son of Chen Xiang. Chen Ruijian was found out, and he killed the two escorting sergeants and escaped. He was later captured alive and asked Wei Shao what to do with it.

Wei Shao hadn't slept all night last night. At this moment, he was still wearing a blood-stained battle suit, and his eyes were red. Hearing Chen Rui's name, he was extremely disgusted, and without thinking about it, he immediately beheaded. Tan Fu was about to leave, but he said bitterly, "This fellow Chen Rui was caught just now, and he was still insulting the lord with foul language. Decapitation is really cheap for him!"

Wei Shaoben had already gone inside, but when he heard it suddenly, he stopped and asked Tan Fu to bring the person. Tan Fu got the order and quickly escorted Chen Rui over.

…

In the battle at Shiyi at the beginning of the year, Chen Pang was captured, and Chen Rui escaped through the tomb.

Chen Xiang and Chen Pang are not from the same mother. Chen Pang has been credited with defending Shiyi for many years, and he is popular. Even the people in Jinyang often praise Chen Pang. Chen Xiang has long been jealous of this brother. Now that Shiyi has been lost, he was angry with him. , coupled with Chen Rui's accusation that turned black and white, not only did he not blame Chen Rui, but he believed it all, and he wanted to take back Shiyi's former shame. Before joining forces with Xue Tai, with good intentions, they planned to defeat Wei Shao with one blow. In the battle of Leping, in order to stay behind, Chen Rui was ordered to lead 10,000 troops to defend Jinyang. Unexpectedly, Leping was defeated, and Jinyang was also captured. When the city was broken, Chen Rui had no way to escape, and when he saw a group of prostitutes, he had an idea and mixed himself in as a woman. He had a feminine appearance, dressed as a woman, but at first glance he looked like he was just holding the Buddha's feet temporarily.

At the moment, Chen Rui is still wearing women's clothes, with a flower on his head. At first glance, he is considered a symbol of a woman, but his body is tied with five flowers, and his mouth has been swollen by the red and swollen sandalwood fan just now. Still standing upright, he yelled, "Wei Shao, you Youzhou thief! Grandpa falls into your hands, if you frown, Grandpa will be a tortoise! ​​The bad guy did good things last time, but now he took my Chen family city, and I turned into a ghost. I will also eat your flesh!"

Wei Shao walked towards him, his eyes gloomy.

"Come, come! Kill me!"

Chen Ruizhi was completely out of life today, and his heart was stunned. He just wanted to be quick to talk, and he laughed: "Are you a Qiao girl or your wife? She already wanted me here! The last time she was brought into the city by me, that night I So I made a pair of happy gods with her! I, Chen Rui, had countless royal daughters in my life, and she was the first stunner I ever met! The tofu-like soles of my feet, even taking a bite would be ecstasy! Nv Qiao was so fascinated by me that she was so fascinated by me. Said that Wei Shao was incompetent and never gave her any pleasure, so she could taste the joy of bedding here! Haha! If I slept with the beauty, I, Chen Rui, would be dead and a romantic ghost, so worth it..."

Wei Shao's five fingers clenched into a fist, and the blue veins protruded from the joints, and he punched hard, hitting Chen Rui's chest hard. In the clear "Kala" bone cracking sound, Chen Rui's several sternums were broken at the same time, and the man flew out, smashed into the wall behind him, and fell to the ground.

Chen Rui vomited blood continuously, lying on the ground gasping for breath, still muttering vaguely.

The blue veins on Wei Shao's forehead were still violent, staring at Chen Rui on the ground with red eyes, and said to Tan Fu: "Cut off the roots of his descendants and put them in his mouth!"

…

On the eve of departure, Su Ehuang once again came to say goodbye to Mrs. Xu, but she did not see Mrs. Xu in the end. Zhong Ni went out and told her very politely that the old lady was tired after her illness, and she has to leave early tomorrow, so she has rested now. Su Ehuang asked Xiao Qiao, and Zhong Li said that the queen was a little drunk after returning from the palace banquet, and it was not suitable to meet guests. Madam's wishes, she will convey on their behalf. Su Ehuang smiled at that time, and did not see any strangeness, chatted with Zhong Ni for a few more words, and then left.

The next day, Xiao Qiao set off on the road with Mrs. Xu. Liu Rui, the king of Zhongshan, took Mrs. Xu far away from the city. The journey went smoothly and returned to Yuyang after a few days.

Two days later, on an unusual afternoon, Xiao Qiao was called by Mrs. Xu and found that Mrs. Zhu was also there.

Mrs. Zhu smiled and looked very happy. This is the first time Xiao Qiao has seen such an expression on her face in such a long time.

On the table at Madam Xu's hand, there is a scroll. She told Xiao Qiao in a very calm voice that her husband, Wei Shao, had captured Jinyang a few days ago.
