Wind and Rain Empire

Zi Linglong returns to Ziyun Pavilion, Hong Wan greets her and pours tea for Zi Linglong

Seeing that Zi Linglong came back alone, Hong Wan asked

"Why did Lady Zhaorong come back by herself? Where did General Lan go? Isn't she dining in the palace?"

Zi Linglong didn't expect Hong Wan to ask Lan Xueyi, she was taken aback for a moment, and replied

"Oh she, she went home from the palace and said that she would prepare for tomorrow's martial arts competition"

Hong Wan nodded slightly, feeling that even if she had tens of thousands of questions, it was not easy to ask them any further, and turned into a cry.

"Oh"

Zi Linglong knew that Hong Wan had doubts, so she looked at Hong Wan

"Do you have anything to ask?"

Hong Wan hesitated for a long time

"Uh... Excuse me for your boldness, I want to ask Empress Zhaorong about something I don't understand."

Zi Linglong smiles

"Only one thing? Oh, just ask."

"May I ask what is your relationship with General Lan?"

Zi Linglong smiled and thought

"The kid finally got an idea"

So a serious answer

"Ben Gong and General Lan are good sisters who have known each other since they were young. Ben Gong's aunt is General Lan's wet nurse, and Ben Gong was saved by General Lan, so they have a very close relationship. Do you understand?"

"Hong Wan understands. It seems that Empress Zhaorong and General Lan are two completely different types of women, each with its own characteristics. Hong Wan has been taught."

Zi Linglong picked up the teacup and took a sip

"You are still young, and many things are still ignorant, so you have to learn to read words and emotions, and learn the advantages of everyone. When I was your age, I was still learning musical instruments. It depends on people's faces, unlike you in the palace, as long as you keep your own Don't mess with right and wrong, you can spend your whole life in peace, and if you are lucky, you will be favored by officials like Ben Gong, which can be regarded as a blessing in the world."

Hong Wan lowered her eyes

"Slave servant... Slave servant does not want to be favored by the officials when she sees Concubine Chen like that."

Zi Linglong looked into the distance with her eyes, feeling a little emotional

"She's to blame for that. If she wasn't so domineering and arrogant, she would be a lucky person (in a low voice). It's a pity that she met Bengong..."

Hong Wan thought she had heard wrong

"Ma'am, what did you say?"

"I didn't say anything, don't see Concubine Chen's end and think that you might end up in that end because of choking. I think that if you win the favor of officials, your fate will definitely be better than Concubine Chen's."

Hong Wan looked at Zi Linglong suspiciously and asked

"Miss Zhaorong, are you telling the truth?"

Zi Linglong's firm eyes responded with a red smile

"That's right, what I said is true"

Hong Wan thought for a while, then smiled innocently.And Zi Linglong looked at Hongwan, thinking of something, and the corner of her mouth curled up into a smile

King Zheng's Mansion of the Kingdom of Jin

King Zheng was sitting in the inner hall, not far in front of him was a row of women who were playing music together, King Zheng was leaning on the chair and almost fell asleep

A servant stepped forward and whispered a few words in King Zheng's ear

King Zheng opened his eyes, and the servant stood aside

At this moment, King Zheng sat up straight and gave instructions to the orchestra in front of him.

"You all go down"

The girls in the band stopped playing immediately, and after they answered "Yes, my lord" in unison, they backed away nonchalantly.

Then the four men in black walked up to King Zheng, knelt down on one knee, arched their hands and said in unison

"Subordinates pay homage to the lord"

King Zheng raised his hand

"Get up, how's the job done?"

one of the men in black

"My lord, something happened unexpectedly, and the task of my subordinates has not been completed"

"What accident?"

"That fellow Cao Ke handed over the letter to Lan Xueyi. His subordinate hunted and killed Lan Xueyi, but Wan Yanyue rebelled. After cleaning up the house, his subordinate was injured by Lan Xueyi and retreated first. Unexpectedly, Lan Xueyi presented the confidential document To the emperor of the Song Dynasty, Cao Ke was demoted to Yazhou for treason"

King Zheng stood up and scolded fiercely.

"What a bunch of waste! It was like this before, but you are still like this. Now it's all right. Not only have the documents not been taken back, but the emperor of the Song Dynasty has read them all! If our Emperor Dajin knew that the king Litong foreign countries blamed it , I will arrest you few to be buried with you!"

At this time Wanyan Luqi jumped in from the window and shouted

"You are the dog prince who killed my sister! Give my sister back!"

He picked up the dagger and stabbed at King Zheng. The four men in black saw that he intended to assassinate King Zheng, so they immediately stepped forward to stop him and fought him.

After some fighting, Wanyan Luqi was finally outnumbered by the four of them, his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and he was injured in many places. He had no choice but to escape from the window

The four men in black were about to chase out, but were stopped by King Zheng

King Zheng watched Wanyan Luqi escape from the window, and stopped the four of them with his arms

"Don't chase after the poor, he's just an assassin, it's not worth the king to send someone to get his hands dirty"

one of the men in black

"My lord, what should I do if he goes to the emperor to report on my lord?"

King Zheng sneered

"It's just him? This king doesn't have to worry. First of all, he won't be able to enter the palace at all. Second, no one will believe what he said. The most important point is that his goal is to kill this king as his sister." It's just revenge"

Men in Black II

"My lord, you should order us to kill him. If this person does not die, he will become a serious problem for the lord in the future."

King Zheng dismissed it

"He has many injuries all over his body, he won't live long at all, just let him go (turning point) Tomorrow is the martial arts tournament between Song and Xia, all four of you change your outfits and become Xixia people, follow them into the palace After entering the palace, you will participate in the martial arts competition. With your martial arts skills, you will definitely win. After you win, you will directly assassinate the emperor of the Song Dynasty and cause the Song and Xia countries to fall apart."

The second man in black asks

"Then what good will the prince benefit after the Song and Xia countries fall apart?"

King Zheng looked at the man in black suspiciously.

"You don't need to know this, just follow the orders of the king."

The people in black answered in unison

"Yes, my lord"

"Also, come back next time when the king sends someone to look for you, don't appear in Prince Zheng's mansion at random, so as not to attract suspicion (pause) You all go down."

The people in black clasped their hands and stepped back

Lin'an City Gate

A portrait of a woman is pasted on the city wall, and people nearby are watching

Onlookers 1 pointing at the portrait

"It is said on the list that this is the lost daughter-in-law of the prime minister's family. It is said that she is a bit stupid. She doesn't remember who she is. She ran away after a day without looking good. Now she can't find anyone. If anyone finds her, she will be rewarded with 200 taels of silver. "

Onlookers 2 questioned

"200 taels? His prime minister's family has already bought a few more daughters-in-law, so why do you want such a fool?"

Onlookers 1 guess

"Look, where can I find such a beautiful woman? How many more can I buy? You can buy such a beautiful girl for only 200 taels of silver?"

There are more and more onlookers, all pointing and talking about the people on the list

A group of the Xixia royal family came from not far away in a car. The Xixia emperor Li Chunyou and the empress Mu Lashi sat in the chariot. Followers, male and female

Onlookers 1 saw Princess Li Siqin of Xixia, pointed at her and shouted

"Look! Isn't this the person in the portrait?"

The onlookers turned their heads to look at Li Siqin, discussing, at this time, I don't know who in the crowd shouted

"Hurry up and grab it, 200 taels of silver!"

The crowd roared and rushed forward, surrounded Li Siqin's horse

Seeing so many people pointing at her, Li Siqin shouted

"What are you doing? Get out of the way for this princess!"

Onlookers booing 2

"Hey! She is really a bit silly, thinking she is a princess!"

Everyone stretched out their hands to pull Li Siqin, trying to drag Li Siqin off the horse. Seeing that the road was blocked, the Xixia Emperor Li Chunyou pushed aside the gauze curtain of the chariot, poked his head out, and pointed to the people on the side of the road to ask Li Siqin what to do.

"Siqin, what's going on?"

Li Siqin kept kicking the crowd

"Father, Siqin doesn't know, they seem to have misidentified the child (pushed away the crowd) and said that you have misidentified the person, what 200 taels of silver, go away!"

Li Chunyou looked at the bustling crowd and shook his head

"Tsk tsk tsk, although there are many people in the Song Dynasty, the quality of the people is too poor. It is too shameful to block cars in the street. It seems that the monarch is not strict in teaching. The matter of this alliance has to be decided in the future. I know Are you ready, excuse me?"

Li Xiaoliang said

"I know, my father (looks at Li Siqin) I'm going to see what's wrong with my sister"

He rode his horse around the crowd from a distance, took off the list on the city gate and took it back to Li Chunyou to see

"Father, these people may have mistaken the imperial sister and the people on the list, so they blocked the younger sister's way"

Li Chunyou opened the list, amazed

"Oh! The painting really looks like (look carefully) what? It's only 200 taels of silver? Isn't that too cheap? I'll think about it for 2000 taels of silver."

Li Siqin fought with the crowd pulling her, she shouted

"You gangsters, see if this princess doesn't deal with you today!"

She unceremoniously rolled up her sleeves and took out a small knife. When the crowd saw Li Siqin flashing the knife, they quickly stopped and backed away in fear.

Li Xiaoliang rode a horse to smooth things over

"Fathers and elders, our group came from Xixia. When we first arrived in Guibao, there was a lot of trouble. My younger sister is not the one pictured on the list, but she is very similar. We still have important things to rush to the city. , make way for us as soon as possible.”

"So I made a mistake..."

The crowd gradually dispersed

At this time, a few golden men wrapped in turbans changed into Xixia costumes, and took advantage of the chaos to get to the back of the team, and drove into the city with the large army.

Li Siqin approached Li Chunyou's chariot on horseback, and stretched out his hand

"Father, bring me the list. This princess wants to see who is so annoying, and put a portrait of this princess on the gate of the city."

Li Chunyou handed over the portrait

"Here, look for yourself, the painting is really similar!"

Li Siqin took the list, and when he saw it, his anger quickly rose

"What? It says I'm a bit stupid? Don't know who I am? Prime Minister Zhang's Mansion? Alright, this princess will sue you after meeting the Song Dynasty emperor, just wait!"

Li Xiaoliang explained

"Little sister, that's about their daughter-in-law, not you"

Li Siqin shook the list

"It doesn't matter if it's about my princess or not, this thing has caused me a lot of trouble, and my princess is upset now!"

Li Chunyou laughs

"Hahaha, what Siqin said is that when we enter the palace, we will go to the emperor for an explanation."

Inside the Daqing Hall of the Imperial Palace

A group of Xixia people entered the hall, and saw hundreds of civil and military officials lined up on the side, and the emperor sitting high in the center

Li Chunyou hands over

"The minister Li Chunyou and his wife came to court to congratulate, long live the emperor, long live, long live, long live, long live the emperor"

Emperor's polite smile

"King Xia doesn't need to be polite"

Li Xiaoliang and Li Siqin sing in unison

"Li Xiaoliang/Siqin Met the Emperor of the Song Dynasty"

The emperor felt a little surprised

"Eh? Are you familiar with my Da Song's etiquette?"

Li Chunyou explained

"Liang'er worshiped his master in the Song Dynasty to practice martial arts when he was a child, and he has learned for many years"

the emperor suddenly realized

"So that's it, (turning to look at Li Siqin) How old is the daughter of the King of Xixia this year?"

"My daughter is sixteen this year. Boys have a bad personality to marry. I wonder if the emperor has any good candidates to introduce to my daughter?"

"Sixteen? It's the same age as my Princess Yongping."

Li Siqin refused to accept, stepped forward to argue

"Father, the daughter will not marry! The daughter must become the guard of the father"

Li Xiaoliang patted Li Siqin on the shoulder

"Little sister, there are so many talented people in the Song Dynasty, maybe you will fall in love with a warrior who competes in martial arts."

Li Siqin thought highly of himself, and glanced at all the civil and military officials present

"Hmph, it's hard to say, I'm very picky!"

She looked around the hall and said to Li Chunyou

"But father, the palace of the Song people is really grand, our Xia Dynasty does not have such a palace."

Li Chunyou nodded

"What Siqin said was that the Song Dynasty had a large population and abundant materials, so it was possible to build such a magnificent building with manpower and material resources."

The emperor smiled

"Hahaha, over the top, over the top"

Li Chunyou did not forget the scene where they were at the gate of the city, so he mentioned

"However, Your Majesty, today I saw at the gate of the city that some people did not obey the rules, and they took the initiative to touch us, Lord Siqin. As the king of a country, the Emperor should discipline the people well."

The emperor put away his smile and asked Shi Miyuan, the Minister of Rites

"Why do people gather at the gate of the city today to cause trouble?"

Shi Miyuan was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt down and shook his head

"Go back to the official's house, the next official doesn't know about this!"

Li Xiaoliang took out the list posted at the gate of the city from his sleeve, and added

"Officials, when we entered the city today, we were provoked by this list and couldn't enter the city."

The eunuch took the list from Li Xiaoliang and handed it to the emperor

After reading the list, the emperor looked at Li Siqin

"This painting is indeed quite similar to Princess Siqin (Ask Zhang Haisheng who is standing aside) Prime Minister Zhang, what is your intention? I don't know that you have a daughter-in-law who looks like Princess Xia in your house? "

Zhang Haisheng took the list inexplicably, was shocked after reading it, and fell to his knees in fright

"Officials, don't say that you don't know, and I don't know either! It's probably because of the good deeds of those two dogs. Wait for me to question them!"

Zhang Haisheng received the list

The emperor's tone was slightly harsh

"It is necessary to interrogate carefully, which will spoil the good mood of King Xia and his party entering the city."

Li Chunyou waved his hand

"Hey, Emperor, this trivial matter is nothing, and we won't care too much about it."

The emperor's face unfolds

"That's good, that's good (looks at Shi Miyuan) Since everything is ready, let's go to the competition venue together."

Shi Miyuan cupped his hands and answered, "Yes, official."

then got up and left

Shi Miyuan led the emperor and Xixia people to the competition venue
