Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

On the pasture in the south of Xiazhou, a brown horse galloped across the grass like lightning. The girl on horseback is wearing a tight short jacket, her legs look stronger and slender, her riding skills are very good, her body undulates up and down in a coordinated way, the horseback bumps, and the upper part of her skirt seems to be wrapped in jelly. The steed ran so fast that the team of horses protecting her couldn't keep up, so they followed behind hard.

Li Yueji was facing the direct sunlight, and now she didn't care about getting tanned, so she was holding her breath and going crazy. Sweat dripped down from under her round hat, and on her light-yellow smooth skin, the beads of sweat glistened like gems.

The head-on wind was like a huge pressure on her face and eyes, and the eyes could not flow out of the sore eyes.

How much I want to be like this steed, running freely between the sky and the earth.

At this moment, Yiqi caught up with Li Yueji, "Wow! Huh!" Brother Ling, who was on the horse, yelled a few times, and finally made Li Yueji slow down.

"Brother Ling..." Li Yueji's voice was a little choked up.

Brother Ling said: "The Princess cannot go to the Central Plains. I heard from Uncle Fei Ting that women in the Central Plains can only stay in one courtyard and cannot go out for the rest of their lives! How is this different from going to jail?"

Li Yueji's expression was gloomy, and her bright complexion seemed to suddenly lose some color. But her expression froze, she bit her lip and said, "I can't go with you."

"Why?" Brother Ling asked anxiously.

Li Yueji said: "Brother Ying said that if you go north, you have to pass through the town of Yong'an Jie (Fuzhou) of the Zhou people. Even if you escaped the scouts of the Zhou people, there are people from the Liao Kingdom to the north... Brother Ying is not afraid of ferocious beasts, but the most terrifying thing in the world is not animals, but people."

She continued: "Father and Uncle Wuzang have agreed to marry each other. If Father fails to hand over someone, it will also bring disaster to the clan."

Brother Ying said: "Princess Yueji has decided to marry to the Central Plains? From then on..."

Li Yueji raised her head: "From now on, Yueji is already dead! Only the daughter of the Dangxiang clan. I really can't bear it, and I will die! It is not the fault of our Dangxiang people who died in the Central Plains."

Brother Ying went up|Blushed, with a look of humiliation on his face, and said in a deep voice: "Princess Yueji is innocent, don't take advantage of that dog emperor, why not tonight..."

Li Yueji's originally dejected expression was suddenly angry and ashamed, she said angrily: "What do you think I am!" After saying that, she rode her horse and left.

Brother Ling rushed to catch up, apologizing, and said: "Brother Ling will not leave the princess, I will follow you to Lingzhou..."

Li Yueji ignored it, and said after a while: "The Han official Lu Duoxun was staring at you that day, he knew you already."

Brother Ling said: "I will pretend to be a bodyguard! If anyone is against the Princess, Brother Ling will be the first to protect the Princess!"

...

Everything is happening step by step and irreversible. The imperial decree, the golden book and the golden seal to confer Li Yueji as the Great Zhou Xianfei were first sent to Xiazhou, which was a matter of agreement between the two parties. At the same time, there are also a large number of betrothal gifts of wealth and goods, including countless gold, silver, tea, silk and satin, and jewelry.

The Dingnan army selected 2,000 horses from various pastures, and the Wuzang clan was the envoy to escort Li Yueji to Lingzhou.

The etiquette of concubine canonization by the royal family is different from that of civil marriage, and the canonization has already been done before meeting. Guo Shao is at the border of Lingzhou, so everything can only be done expediently.

Wei Renpu asked Feng Jiye, commander of the Lingzhou Festival, to arrange a banquet, and invited the leaders of all ethnic groups to the banquet, so that the marriage between the royal family and the party would have an influence in the northwest.

In the palace, Guo Shao heard that Li Yueji's team was approaching Lingzhou and had brought two thousand horses. He was very happy, and immediately sent Wei Renpu and Wang Zhang, the left wing general of the Huben Army, to meet and receive the horses.

All the generals entered the hall to meet Guo Shao, and congratulated Guo Shao with joy.

Yang Biao's legs and feet became more agile. When he joked, his face was still stern, as if he couldn't laugh.

For the so-called party beauty Li Yueji, Guo Shao actually didn't have much expectations... I really don't believe how good-looking the beauty is in the population of the party.

Guo Shao personally saw that the party member was not hiding. The guy was wearing a tall cone hat, and the hat took off the bald head! Really, Guo Shao doesn't think baldness is any good, no matter from the aesthetics of the ancients or the modern people; the one has no Tibetan family name, has yellow teeth, and his skin is very dark, as if he hasn't washed it clean. It is said that Wuzang is still an aristocrat, so one can imagine what ordinary party members look like.

But Guo Shao doesn't mind, her significance is not in her beauty, but in her status.

…Lingzhou is a city on the farthest border of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It focuses on military affairs, and its construction is also very rough. It is not as good as Xiazhou, and the wind is still strong. Li Yueji had already seen the rammed city wall from the carriage, and the scene in the field was somewhat similar to Xiazhou, with many soldiers running around on horseback.

After staying outside Lingzhou City for a while, Li Yueji and her entourage separated from the brigade and followed Zhou Guoren into the city.

The team walked around the city for a while, then stopped again. Mrs. Wuzang said from outside the car: "The emperor of Zhou summoned us in the palace, the princess should get out of the car."

Li Yueji's face was ashen, her hands and feet got off the carriage stiffly. How she feels may not be important, those important things have been done... exchanging goods and war horses, and marrying as an alliance.

For a strange foreigner to suddenly become her man in such an irreversible way, she would not feel very good.

At this moment, a yell was suddenly heard, followed by an angry "Huo". Li Yueji, who was depressed, was taken aback! She followed the sound and saw two rows of sergeants in front of the door stepping their feet neatly and raising the cherry guns in their hands.

Li Yueji immediately felt very novel and surprised. She had seen many guards and soldiers, but she had never seen such a guard. I saw that the two teams were tall and strong, almost the same height, they held their heads high, their armor and cloaks were very neat and clean, and they stood upright.

Uncle Wuzang in front looked back at her, and the two looked at each other. It's no wonder that Uncle Wuzang advocated a marriage regardless of everything, just by looking at the leopard, just judging by the military discipline of the two teams, the Zhou army is not weak.

He didn't hide in front of the door and handed over the saber. A Han general searched him and said, "Please!" but ignored Li Yueji. Wu Zang reminded in Dang Xiang's words: "Today is just a summons, and I will go in with the princess. From now on, I will not be by the princess's side, but remember, the princess is a woman of our Dangxiang clan."

The two were led into a courtyard of tile-roofed houses rammed with earth. The low buildings were not as good as Xiazhou Palace City, but there were many guards inside and the etiquette was very complicated. It's been asked twice already.

Then I heard a voice saying: "Xuan, Concubine Li Xian will see you."

After a lot of tossing, Yue Ji's mood became tense. The two entered a large room facing south, with people standing on both sides, and a young man in military uniform sat on a chair next to the wooden coffee table in the middle.

This person is the Great Zhou Emperor?

He didn't wear a dragon robe, but there were old officials standing respectfully on both sides. Li Yueji could feel his status from the scene.

Only at the first glance, Li Yueji found that the Zhou Emperor looked different from what she had imagined. This person looks very young, his facial features are well-proportioned and not offensive, his figure is tall and straight, and he looks powerful; in addition to his attire, he looks like a warrior in the army.

But Emperor Zhou and Dang Xiang's young son are very different... not at all as bold and casual as Dang Xiang's young man.

Did not hide and stepped aside, let Li Yueji come forward to see her first.

Li Yueji stepped forward, put one hand under her chest, and bowed to salute. She didn't want to say anything, but looked up at Guo Shao curiously.

It seems that Guo Shao is rarely looked at so directly, he also looked over in surprise, and the two silently looked at each other.

Guo Shao's skin is a bit rough, but his hair is combed neatly, his clothes are clean and neat, and his sitting posture is very correct. His eyes were also very bright, and he gradually revealed a smile. He turned his head and said to the civil servant Lu Duoxun who was standing beside him, "Li Yiyin's daughter is really pretty. Even if she is placed in Tokyo, she will be considered a beauty."

Li Yueji's face turned red immediately, and she couldn't get angry... After all, she was praising her, but she felt that she was not used to saying that.

At this time, Guo Shao stopped smiling and asked, "Can you understand Chinese?"

Li Yueji said in fluent Chinese: "There are also many Han children in Xiazhou, of course I can understand."

Guo Shao's face suddenly burst into embarrassment, Li Yueji saw it, her face turned red.

Guo Shao said solemnly: "From now on, the Guo family of the royal family and the Li family of Xiazhou will be relatives. I wish the borders will be peaceful and the people will live in harmony." He then said to Mu Zang, "When you go back, tell King Xiping that King Xiping is loyal to guarding the country. I am very pleased and ask him to take care of his health."

No Zang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty will live forever. Marshal Jie dare not forget His Majesty's grace."

Guo Shao nodded.

Without hiding, he bowed again: "Your Majesty just arrived in Lingzhou today, and everything is not settled, please let Concubine Li Xian take a rest, take a bath and change clothes, and then come to see your majesty."

The etiquette of the two sides is very different, and the other party is the emperor, so it is not acceptable according to the customs of the party members; for example, to test the husband and son-in-law, causing him a lot of trouble, and carrying his wife back from the mother's house to show that she is strong... But according to the party member's habit, the mother's family cannot let the husband's family accept the bride casually.

It doesn't mean to hide, that's it. He couldn't just send Li Yueji here and leave it to the Zhou people, at least the Zhou people should do some pomp and show sincerity, and it would be best for the emperor to come and take Li Yueji back in person.

After hearing this, Guo Shao said: "Alright, I asked Deputy Envoy Wei to prepare a big banquet, and I will send chariots to meet Concubine Li Xian some other day."

He hesitated to speak, and finally bowed and said: "Your Majesty is the emperor, but according to the etiquette of party members, the husband must at least pick up the bride in person..."

At this moment, a minister said: "You also know that you are the emperor today, what kind of etiquette of party members can be greater than the righteousness of monarchs and ministers?"\u003c
