Chapter 373
"Who came to test me today, why do you know I'm afraid now?"
Yang Guo looked dotingly at Shuang'er who only showed a small head on the water, and couldn't help laughing.
Since Shuang'er got into the bathtub, the red tide on her face has not subsided, and now she heard Yang Guo's words, her eyes were full of shyness and she said: "Brother Yang, you know how to bully me..."
Yang Guo grabbed her slender and smooth wrist from underwater, and pulled her into his embrace.
Shuang'er was startled, but she didn't struggle, but let it go.
But at the moment when their skin is touching, no matter it is Yang Guo or Shuang'er, there is an indescribable feeling of strangeness in their hearts.
Yang Guo's heart fluttered for a while and he said, "This is called bullying you? The time to really bully you hasn't come yet!"
Shuang'er was leaning in his arms at this moment, with infinite tenderness gushing from the bottom of her heart, her eyes couldn't help being blurred, and even her tone became softer and softer, and she murmured: "Brother Yang wants to bully others, then he will bully you!" alright!"
After saying this, Shuang'er shrank her little head on the water again.
Yang Guo had never seen Shuang'er like this before, his mouth was dry and his heart fluttered, he wrapped his arms around the girl's waist and hugged her under the water, then hugged her in his arms, and kissed the girl's cherry lips go down.
Shuang'er was dizzy immediately, and then drifted around, as if she was in the clouds.
Not long after, even if the two were in the warm tub, they could still feel the heat gradually rising from each other. As the red candles on the table burned out, there were bursts of girlish voices in the room, like fairy tales. Like music, it lasted until late at night.
……
In the early morning of the next day, Shuang'er hung on Yang Guo's body limply like a koala and couldn't bear to let go. His eyes were full of affection, his usual shyness was less and more sweet.
Yang Guo was not in a hurry to get up with Shuang'er, after talking with the girl about their love, they didn't get out of bed until the servant brought breakfast.
Near noon, the group set off again.
The officials along the way already knew the itinerary of the marriage envoy route, and sent someone to send the post quickly in the morning. Even if Wei Xiaobao didn't have a specific route plan, if he followed the location on the post, he would never go wrong, and he could even collect money. Many benefits, why not do it.
Even though Wei Xiaobao procrastinated on the road, the itinerary will eventually be completed one day.
It was less than half a month's journey, but he insisted on taking a large army to arrive after a month's delay, which made Wu Sangui and his son who were welcoming their relatives very anxious.
Shanhaiguan is under the jurisdiction of Wu Sangui, and there are heavy troops stationed there. Princess Jianning and her party were still hundreds of miles away, so Wu Yingxiong came to pick him up. When he saw Wei Xiaobao, he was full of praise immediately, as if all the grievances and grievances of the day were gone. Remember it.
After staying in the palace for so long, Wei Xiaobao had already learned to play tricks in the officialdom, so he immediately followed up with a few words, and actually flattered Wu Yingxiong so loudly that the other party was very useful.
According to court rituals, before getting married, Wu Yingxiong and the princess could not meet each other, so he went to the chariot to pay respects, then returned to the front of the procession, and chatted with Wei Xiaobao.
After chatting for a while, Wu Yingxiong spotted the three people who were following Wei Xiaobao. He saw that they were wearing bamboo hats and their faces could not be seen clearly, but it was not difficult to tell from their figures that they were two men and one woman.
Curious, he couldn't help asking: "Master Wei, are these your friends? They don't look like guards in the palace."
Wei Xiaobao secretly scolded the little turtle for being troublesome, but replied with a smile on the surface: "The little prince has good eyesight, he can tell at a glance that they are not the guards of the palace..."
Wu Yingxiong felt contempt in his heart, and secretly thought that these three people were not wearing the military uniforms of the Xiaoqi Battalion, do you think I am blind?
I only heard Wei Xiaobao continue to say: "To be honest, these three are all masters I met from the Jianghu. In order to protect the safety of the princess along the way, I specially spent a lot of money to hire them as escorts."
Wu Yingxiong's eyes flickered slightly and said: "It turns out that they are friends in the Jianghu. It just so happens that I know a thing or two about the masters of various factions in the Jianghu. I don't know how to call these three masters?"
Seeing the little turtle kept asking, Wei Xiaobao had already scolded all eighteen generations of his ancestors in his heart, thinking that I would travel thousands of miles to send you a daughter-in-law. You slapped your head, you deserve the green hat on your head.
Seeing that Yang Guo had already reached Shanhaiguan, no one would recognize him, so there was no need to hide, so he and Shuang'er Feng Jizhong took off the bamboo hat from their heads.
He clasped his fists together and said: "I wait for a mere nickname, the little prince may not have heard of it. Under Mu Long, this is my senior uncle Feng Jizhong, and this is my little junior sister Liu Shuang."
He took a character from his mother's surname, and another character from Xiaolongnv's surname, made up a fake name, his surname was Yang, and Shuang'er was surnamed Liu. Few people knew the identity of Feng Ji, and it was useless to use his real name. tight.
Seeing his extraordinary demeanor, Wu Yingxiong was solemn and did not dare to underestimate him. After contemplating for a while, he realized that he had never heard the names of these three people. Recently, he heard that someone was going to take advantage of this Pingxi. Wangfu wedding to assassinate their father and son. He was full of vigilance towards these unknown people, so he asked again:
"It's true that Xiao Wang is ignorant and ignorant. I don't know what school Mu Shaoxia studied under?"
He could see that among the three, this Mu Long seemed to be the main one.
Yang Guo pretended to be polite and said: "I made the little prince laugh, we are the disciples of Chaozhou Hongxing Gang!"
"Hongxing Gang? Cough...seem to have heard of it!"
Wu Yingxiong first had question marks all over his face, and then he replied awkwardly, not paying attention to the three of them anymore.
But Yang Guo saw him like this, but secretly regretted in his heart: "If I knew it earlier, I would have called myself Chen Haonan!"
When everyone was walking outside the city, they suddenly heard the sound of horns. A group of people greeted them from the city in a mighty manner. An officer rushed to report first: "Pingxi Wang Te is here to welcome Princess Luanjia."
Wei Xiaobao galloped forward, and saw groups of soldiers with bright armor, riding tall horses, galloping up to him, dismounting together, lined up on both sides.
Amidst the sound of silk and bamboo, hundreds of young boys in red robes held banners and led a general to the front of the army, and then a salute officer shouted loudly: "My servant, Prince Pingxi, Wu Sangui, see His Royal Highness Princess Jianning. "
Yang Guo saw that Wu Sangui's soldiers were strong and well-organized, and the army was in order. He looked like a tiger and wolf army. Compared with the generals defending the city of Xiangyang, they were not at the same level. From this, it can be seen that although Wu Sangui was a big traitor in the eyes of the Han people, he was still a traitor. He is also a brave and capable general with a strict command.
He had no grievances with Wu Sangui, and he never thought of killing him. After all, this person is disgusting to Kangxi even alive. Could it be that he would lead his [-] elite soldiers to attack Song Dynasty instead of fighting?
As long as Kangxi is not an idiot and he is allowed to continue to be strong and strong, then he will hardly have any chance of being an enemy with the opponent.
Furthermore, he has no interest in the disputes between these great powers.
Chapter 374 The Emperor’s Bird Raw Fish Soup
Wei Xiaobao looked at Wu Sangui carefully, saw that he had a majestic body, a purple face, a beard that was more or less white than black, and despite his age, he still walked vigorously, striding forward, he always felt a bit of awe in his heart.
Then, Wei Xiaobao saw Wu Sangui walking in front of the princess' chariot, knelt down and kowtowed, he quickly stood aside, quietly taking advantage of the other party.
After he finished prostrating, he said: "Prince Pingxi is exempt."
Wu Sangui stood up, walked up to Wei Xiaobao and said with a smile: "Surely this is the emperor's right-hand man, the wise and brave Lord Wei?"
Wei Xiaobao greeted him, and said: "Don't dare, Wei Xiaobao, a lowly post, see the prince."
Wu Sangui laughed loudly, held his hand kindly and said: "Grandpa Wei is loyal to the Lord, and the little king has long admired his fame, so he will soon be free from these clichés. From now on, the little prince and his son will depend entirely on Lord Wei to maintain them. Abandon, we are all like our own family."
Wei Xiaobao greeted him on the surface, and walked side by side with the other party, clearing the way.
In the city, the people heard that the princess was married to Pingxi Wang Shizi. The streets were already crowded with people, and they rushed to watch the excitement. The city was decorated with lights and festoons. Riding into the city together with Wu Sangui, he couldn't help being very proud to see everyone bowing to greet him.
Wu Sangui brought a group of people to live temporarily in a Fu Garden in the west of the city.
This place was originally the mansion of a big clan in the former Ming Dynasty, but it was later taken over by Wu Sangui. After learning the news of the princess's marriage, construction was carried out to make the place look brand new.
And this Fu Garden originally had lofty towers and pavilions, and it was the best garden pavilion. After being renovated now, it looks even more majestic, worthy of the dignity of a princess.
After Wu Sangui and his son greeted the princess through the curtain, they accompanied Wei Xiaobao to Pingxi Palace.
Wei Xiaobao was very afraid of Wu Sangui, so naturally he didn't dare to go alone, instead he called Yang Guo.
Yang Guo asked Shuang'er and Feng Jizhong to wait for him here, and then accompanied Wei Xiaobao to Pingxi Palace alone.
I saw that Wu Sangui's mansion was even more splendid, with towering pavilions and carved walls, red pavilions and green marshes, compared with the inner courtyard of the imperial palace, it was not much better.
A grand banquet had already been set up in the hall, Wu Sangui's civil and military officials all came to accompany him, and the imperial envoy Wei Xiaobao naturally sat at the head.
Wei Xiaobao didn't dare to let Yang Guo sit on the second seat, he thought that he could do whatever he wanted at this moment, so he reserved a seat by his side and invited the elder brother to sit down.
In this regard, Yang Guo is not the slightest hypocritical.
Seeing this, Wu Sangui and his son exchanged glances with each other without saying anything.
After drinking for three rounds, Wei Xiaobao smiled and said: "My lord, I heard that you are very familiar with Prince Bao of Shengjing?"
Wu Sangui's complexion changed slightly, and the already lively banquet hall suddenly fell silent.
Wu Sangui was treacherous and cunning, Kangxi suddenly wanted to marry his younger sister to his son, he had faintly sensed the other party's intentions, now Wei Xiaobao came up and asked questions, which made him even more convinced that the little emperor was aware of his relationship with Prince Bao, Come and test yourself.
This made him, who was originally inclined towards Prince Bao, suddenly have other thoughts.
Wu Sangui has always had a lot of ambition, so how could he be willing to be a prince with a foreign surname who lives in a corner?He has [-] elite soldiers in his hands, as long as the time is right, he can even take the position of emperor, why should he be manipulated by others?
In his opinion, Kangxi is in decline, and Prince Bao has been dormant for many years. He is already full-fledged and may replace the little emperor at any time. If he wants to choose, he can only take refuge in one of them at this moment. If you want to deal with him, then he will really be unable to escape.
Therefore, the safest way is to help one party destroy the other party's power first, so that his enemy will change from two to one, and it will naturally be easier to deal with.
Prince Bao Hongli was very scheming, he had been wooing him a few years ago, but he wanted to seek greater benefits, so he didn't agree for a long time. Now that the little emperor is free, he knows to send someone to find out the truth, then he It just so happened that he could take this opportunity to mediate with Prince Bao.
Wu Sangui's heart moved, he immediately cleared his mind, and decided to show his favor to Kangxi first.
"I don't know where Lord Wei heard the news from?"
Wei Xiaobao said with a smile: "I was in Yanjing but I heard many officials say that even the emperor asked about it, but I just thought, you two are very important figures in my Qing Dynasty, if you have had close contacts in private, Then I don’t know what they are doing, is it possible to unite and rebel? If this is the case, then it will be too interesting, hahaha..."
Wu Sangui's pupils shrank immediately, Wu Yingxiong's face turned livid, and all the officials at the banquet also changed color.
After hearing Wei Xiaobao laugh, he continued: "But today when I came to the palace and met the prince, I realized that all this was just a fantasy."
Wu Sangui's expression calmed down a little, and he hurriedly said: "Master Wei knows that there must be despicable people deliberately spreading rumors and slandering, such rumors are absolutely unbelievable."
Wei Xiaobao nodded and said: "Yeah, I think you conspired with Prince Bao to rebel, and that's nothing more than embracing him as emperor, what good can you do for yourself? According to my opinion, your palace is magnificent, even the imperial palace is inferior. And the emperor's meals have always been handled by me, but I am ashamed, and it is not as delicious as your palace. You are much more comfortable being a Pingxi king than being an emperor. Can you have descendants and grandchildren, and enjoy wealth forever?"
All of a sudden, the banquet hall was silent, all the officials stopped drinking, and listened to his nondescript words in a daze, their hearts were beating wildly, and Wu Sangui's face turned red and white, not knowing what to do. How to answer is.
He wondered what Wei Xiaobao meant by these words, was he talking nonsense, or the little emperor specially sent him to beat him?
Seeing that the atmosphere was awkward, Wei Xiaobao immediately cheered up the atmosphere and said: "Just now when I saw the prince outside the city, I, Wei Xiaobao, was overwhelmed by the prince's domineering aura, like the prince's face, with an upright face, in the drama, that He is definitely a loyal minister of the emperor, and I dare to believe that the prince is absolutely innocent."
"When I return to Yanjing, I will tell the emperor that Pingxi Wang is loyal to the emperor, and no one can shake him. Even if there is a day when Prince Bao refuses to be a minister, he will firmly stand by the emperor. Don't you think so? Prince?"
Wu Sangui's complexion couldn't help but change, he didn't expect Wei Xiaobao to say a lot of muddleheaded things, but suddenly wanted him to show his loyalty at this moment, this was completely sowing the relationship between him and Prince Bao, forcing himself to stand in line.
After pondering for a while, he said: "The emperor is wise, benevolent and filial, he strives hard to govern, and the government is strict. The people are all amazed. If someone really dares to harm the emperor, I, Wu Sangui, will fight against the emperor and support the imperial power."
This old fox... Wei Xiaobao cursed inwardly, and then echoed: "Yes, the emperor's bird raw fish soup, who dares to offend the emperor's prestige."
Wu Sangui couldn't help being startled, and after a while, he realized that he was talking about "Yao, Shun and Yu Soup", and his head was full of black lines.
Chapter 375 Chaozhou Hongxing Gang
After Wu Sangui changed the subject and chatted with Wei Xiaobao for a while, the banquet hall returned to the previous enthusiastic scene.
Wei Xiaobao accompanied him for a few glasses of wine, pretending to be casual and said: "My lord's palace is really magnificent!"
Wu Sangui said: "Master Wei has misunderstood this king. This king has always admired the emperor's frugality, and he did not dare to live in luxury. It is just that the holy grace is so great, and the princess is coming back. We dare not neglect, so we have to do our best to serve Princess and Lord Wei, once the marriage is over, it will cost a lot."
Unexpectedly, Wei Xiaobao shook his head and said: "That's different. You are a prince, but if you have money, why do you want to be a prince? If you think there are too many gold and silver, and worry that you won't be able to spend them all at once, I can do my best to help you out." , why not? Haha!"
As soon as he said this, Wu Sangui was overjoyed immediately, thinking that you would accept the money, wouldn't that be easy?
When all the civil and military officials heard him openly asking for money at the banquet, everyone smiled, thinking that this kid only wants something, after all, he is easy to deal with.
Afterwards, while drinking, everyone planned in their hearts how to give gifts and bribes, and the original embarrassment and panic during the banquet were swept away.
After a while, Wu Sangui and his son turned their attention to Yang Guo who had been drinking in silence.
Wu Sangui had already learned about the other party's identity from his son, but he had never heard of the Hongxing Gang, so he immediately suspected that this was a false sect deliberately fabricated by the other party in order to hide his identity, and even his name was not certain. .
He has heard a lot of unfavorable news recently, so it is better to be more cautious now.
Glancing at his son Wu Yingxiong, the latter understood immediately, and raised his glass to invite him: "Mu Shaoxia, you're so bored drinking alone, come, I'll toast you!"
Yang Guo is not an alcoholic, but he loves wine more than tea, Wu Sangui obviously put a lot of thought into entertaining Wei Xiaobao, no matter the food or wine, he also ate and drank a lot.
Seeing that Wu Yingxiong invited him to drink, he also raised his hand neither humble nor overbearing, and then drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
On the other side, a military general who had been temporarily ordered for a long time suddenly said dissatisfied: "Little prince toasts you, how can you not hold your hands high?"
"Hey, General Fan, you are a guest, so don't be rude!"
Wu Yingxiong reprimanded him nonchalantly.
The brawny man surnamed Fan pointed at Yang Guo persistently and said, "My lord, this kid is too rude, what kind of status are you, how dare he be disrespectful? You can bear it, but the last general can't!"
While speaking, the strong man surnamed Fan got up and walked towards Yang Guo.
As if Wu Sangui had never heard of it, he toasted with Wei Xiaobao who was beside him.
The situation here also quickly attracted the attention of all the officials, and they all looked over.
Wei Xiaobao naturally noticed the strong man coming from the second seat, but he didn't pay attention, thinking that it would be good to let Brother Yang show his hand, so as not to make you low-minded things look down on him.
The big man went straight to Yang Guo's side, seeing him still sitting there drinking, he immediately angrily said: "You impolite boy, get up!"
After saying that, a big thick hand grabbed Yang Guo's shoulder.
Seeing that they moved their hands, some military officers sneered, while some civilian officials couldn't help being uproarious.
Just when the palm of the general surnamed Fan was about to touch Yang Guo's body, he slowly stretched out a finger and pointed it backwards, and the fingertip touched the opponent's palm impartially.
Seeing this, the general surnamed Fan sneered disdainfully, but when he wanted to continue pressing down his palm, his face changed drastically.
