Hard to be a good wife

Angrily, I thought: I don't know who used to clamor that freedom is more important than love.

"Hey, there's one more thing... I want to ask you and my wife for a favor." Zhang Chun leaned over and said in a low voice, "You guys can help me make an imperial decree, which is about giving a marriage."

"Do you still need this?" Both of them are happy with each other, and the imperial edict to marry is just a formality, although Tang Yue doesn't mind adding this step.

"Hey, it's not to reduce unnecessary troubles. You also know the situation of their family. One thing more is worse than one thing less."

Tang Yue nodded, "After several years of experience, you are really thoughtful in handling things." The little boy in his eyes seemed to grow up in an instant.

I still remember that when I first met Zhang Chun, Tang Yue didn't have a good impression of him. If the two of them were not fellow villagers and had a common secret, they might not be so close to Zhang Chun.

However, after these years, the relationship between the two has become closer and closer, as if they are really blood-related relatives, and Zhang Chun is also developing in a good way, becoming more respected and valued by people.

Back then, Li Zhao still wanted to train him to be a minister of the humerus. Now, he has done many things that ministers cannot do, but the status and method are not quite the same as imagined.

"Just kidding, after two lifetimes, if you can't be a human again, it will be too embarrassing for your ancestors."

Tang Yue teased: "Is it your ancestor in this life or the ancestor in your previous life?"

Zhang Chun shrugged, "In my previous life, I didn't even know my father's surname, where did my ancestor come from?"

The two were talking in a low voice, with their heads touching each other, and in the eyes of everyone, it was even more certain that the relationship between Zhongyonghou and the empress was extraordinary. The emperor looked sullen but did not get angry, which shows that these two get along like this on weekdays.

For Zhongyonghou, the ministers didn't have a deep impression of him. When they mentioned these three words, more people thought of the old Hou Ye, the former Qinyang City Lord. As for his descendants, they didn't have much impression.

And just such a person who was ignored by them has become famous recently, almost to the point of being a household name, and has become a sweet bun in the eyes of officials everywhere, and everyone wants to see him.

Just when everyone was thinking about how to get close to this young master, there was some movement at the door, and everyone turned their heads to look, and saw that the crowd automatically separated.

"Who is here in such a big way? Those who should come should have come already?" Who else dares to be late for the palace banquet?

Everyone stared at the door with their eyes wide open, and after a while, they saw Duke Zhen, who is now in the limelight, walking in with his head held high. He was wearing a red official robe, a golden crown on his head, a young face, and a tall and straight figure, all of which were envied by everyone. object.

"What's the reason why Lord Zhen came so late?" A high-ranking official couldn't help but tease him.

Wang Dingjun was by Wang Zizhao's side when he was young, and he was a firm confidant, so everyone is not surprised by his current glory, but it is inevitable that he will be a little envious.

This person is talking about a fate, who let them not have this fate.

When the emperor was still a prince, he was already the prince's life, and there were many people who wanted to get close to him. If he hadn't been at the border when he was young, and he didn't like to form a party, who in this palace wouldn't want to get close to him?

Of course, there are some exceptions. For example, the old county mansion, which has now disappeared, has not even a hair left because of its insufficient stance.

It is said that the princess who married Nansha also passed away the year before last. Now it is said that the one who is being favored is the daughter of a small official in the south. After being favored by the king of Nansha, the eldest son was born in less than a year. After the princess passed away and became a country, the eldest son would naturally be established as the crown prince.

Hey, this is fate!

Fanwai Seven Emperors, you are really ruthless!

There used to be a list of the four most beautiful men in Yecheng, but it was not popular many years ago. When Prince Zhao led the Northern Expedition, there were four generals who were extremely popular, and they were all young leaders.

And these four King Kongs were not unexpectedly seriously injured and promoted. Among them, Wang Dingjun was named the Duke of Zhen Guo, and he was the most glorious one.

The other three, such as Zhao Sanlang, Zhao Xian, Duke Heng's son Ping Shun, and General Hu Jinpeng, are all one rank lower than Wang Dingjun. Without this status, being promoted to first-class general is already a very high achievement.

As a young talent, it is inevitable to be favored by some people and want to be in-laws. Unfortunately, both Hu Jinpeng and Shun Shun are married, and their wives are powerful. Forcing a daughter may not benefit in the past, but may offend each other. Therefore, everyone All the spearheads were aimed at Wang Dingjun and Zhao Sanlang.

Zhao Sanlang's mother has passed away, and there is not even a person in charge of marriage in the family, so he is happy and at ease. All matchmakers who come to the door are blocked at the door, and they are all driven away on the grounds that there is no one to receive them.

However, during this period, there were also a large number of aunts and six wives rushing to recognize their relatives, wanting to preside over Zhongfu for the General's Mansion, but they obviously underestimated the extent of Zhao Sanlang's ruthlessness. At the mercy of?

So he kept doing nothing, turning himself into a loner, and he didn't recognize any relatives. This also caused many rumors that were unfavorable to Zhao Sanlang among the people.

However, he neither kills nor sets fire, and this rumor can't hurt him at all, but the people who originally wanted to marry him reconsidered and began to shrink back.

Wang Dingjun's parents are still alive, and there are quite a few brothers and sisters. The matchmaker above said that the matchmaker almost trampled the threshold of the Wang family, but the results were the same.

He directly said that he only likes men, and he already has someone he likes, so let everyone not waste their efforts.

This is not a big deal, one out of ten good men these days, the one on the throne is the best example.

But how many men in the world can be like the emperor, marry a man and give up the whole forest?Which family does not have three wives and four concubines, and the male dotes on the whole house?

So it's not a problem!

The matchmakers couldn't stop coming to the door one by one. At first, the Wang family seemed to be serious, planning to find Wang Dingjun a well-educated and well-matched daughter-in-law.

In the end, they selected a talented and beautiful daughter of the Hou family, and they planned to kill first and play later to finalize the marriage.

The foundation of the Wang family is in Yuxin City, but Wang Dingjun is not at home all year round. When he got the news, the two families even changed their posts, and they had to choose a good day for him to go home and get married.

He sneered, and sent a confidant back with his own letter, stating that if the Wang family dared to force him to marry, he would dare not go back for the rest of his life, and see who survived.

Now the Wang family has the highest rank, and the whole family has to respect him and support him. How dare he push him away? After seeing Wang Dingjun's determination, the Wang family had no choice but to choose a young man of the right age from the family to replace this marriage. It was not a good time to make trouble, but he managed to keep this descendant with the highest achievement.

As soon as Wang Dingjun entered the door, his eyes were glued to Zhang Chun, and after saluting to the empress, he sat in his seat.

With his status, the seat was already very close to the front, but it was still not as good as Zhang Chun, the young prince favored by the queen, who could directly sit next to the queen, eating food from a bowl and drinking wine from a glass.

There are a bunch of old foxes and little foxes present, so you can naturally see that he and Zhang Chun are tricky. Those who are well-informed have already heard about the glorious deeds of these two. The Duke's sweetheart is this one.

The family background of the two is considered to be a good match, but their personal achievements are too far apart. No matter how you look at it, the young master is not worthy of Zhen Guogong.

And the age gap between the two is there, it doesn't look good at all.

"Don't look, your eyes are about to fall out, I really miss you so much, why don't you let the emperor give you a marriage?" Zhao Sanlang sat on Wang Dingjun's head, and joked with the corner of his mouth tilted.

Wang Dingjun looked back and raised his eyebrows, "It's not that you don't know him, how can he be someone who can follow orders? I'm so anxious, he must have disappeared again."

"Then you might as well lock him up at home and let him go wandering, be careful that the prodigal son won't be able to turn back, haha." Zhao Sanlang smiled unkindly.

Thinking of what Zhang Chun said yesterday, Wang Dingjun's heart moved. Maybe this time he can really keep him.

After drinking for three rounds, Wang Dingjun stood up, patted his sleeves, strode to the center of the hall, raised his clothes, knelt down solemnly, and said loudly: "I have something to ask, please allow your majesty."

Everyone stopped talking, and turned their gazes to Duke Zhen, wondering what the young Duke wanted.

"Tell me, when will you ask?" Li Zhao put down his wine glass, looked away from Tang Yue, and asked without moving.

He had a little bottom in his heart, and thought to himself: If it is what he thinks, he will definitely agree with it with both hands and feet.

Wang Dingjun is not young anymore, he has established a career but not a family, and his heart is hung on Zhongyonghou. Apart from this person, he has nothing left.

Sure enough, I heard Wang Dingjun say loudly: "I implore your Majesty to marry you to the loyal and brave Marquis!"

The sonorous and forceful words of a sentence shocked all the officials in the hall three times, and there were small voices of discussion in the hall.

Ever since Wang Zizhao first married a male wife, there have been officials like Wang Dingjun who have asked for imperial edicts to grant marriages to men, but unfortunately, none of the previous kings agreed. Now this one, because of the busy state affairs, everyone I have never brought such a trivial matter to the hall.

But in all fairness, [-]% of the officials present would not agree to such a request.

An old official stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I think this trend cannot last long. If the imperial decree grants marriage, it is not to set a negative example for the people of the world? If everyone in the world follows suit, disregarding the reproduction of children and grandchildren, and only emphasizing love and desire, this Jiangshan Sheji is over!"

His meaning is very simple: if you, Wang Dingjun, want to marry a male wife, you can marry him. No one will hinder you. Marry whoever you like, but once the imperial decree grants marriage, the meaning will be different. The common people think that the emperor likes this tune. Competing to follow suit, will the world not be in chaos?

His worry was not unreasonable, so some ministers stood up to oppose it, but they didn't say too much. After all, after all, all men in a country, if they objected to Wang Dingjun marrying a male wife, wouldn't they just beat the emperor directly? Face?

"Your Majesty, I also think that this trend cannot last long. The population of the Tang Dynasty is small, and it is the time to reproduce. If the common people follow suit, all men will marry men. Not to mention how women in the world should deal with themselves, with this population I can't go up, there is no one, how can there be peace and prosperity?"

Wang Dingjun's face turned green. He didn't expect that a personal request of his would be said to be a model of harming the country and the people, but he was careless, thinking that there was a precedent for the empress, and his request would be passed smoothly.

Datang is his painstaking effort, he naturally wants to see peace in the world, the people live in peace and contentment, and the country will be passed down from generation to generation.

He glanced at Zhang Chun, and saw that he was looking at his embarrassment happily with his head propped up, neither angry nor sad, just like an outsider.

Wang Dingjun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, looking at his appearance, it seems that he does not object to his request, it doesn't matter whether there is an imperial decree to grant marriage, all he wants is that person.

Although the situation is difficult, if he can try Zhang Chun's intentions, this kneeling will be worth it.

Tang Yue asked in a low voice: "Did you discuss it in advance?"

"No, how could I let him do such a stupid thing? It's a shame!" Sure, not everyone thinks that the imperial decree of marriage is an honorable thing.

Like Tang Yue and Zhang Chun, they both feel that love and marriage are two people's affairs, and they are private matters, so it always feels uncomfortable to be commented by others in such a large audience.

"Then he is determined to marry you home. Seeing you, don't you object?"

"I didn't object at first, I just wanted to play for a few more years, this great mountain and river didn't get enough to get married, how sorry for myself?"

Tang Yue secretly sighed, he is not like this, but he himself is not interested in long-distance travel, there is no train, no plane, and only relying on a carriage is not enough for fun, so he has to stop cooking.

"That's fine, don't grant marriage, it's just a piece of paper, and there is no such thing as divorce in the imperial decree, I'm not cursing you, this life is long and long, no one knows what will happen, Don't frame yourself too hard." There are pros and cons to bestowing marriage by imperial decree, if there is a choice, Tang Yue thinks it's better not to have it.

Zhang Chun obviously meant the same thing, "If I knew he would come to this trick, I would tell him today, so as not to mess up the reception banquet that was set up."

Look at the more and more excited officials below, spitting and citing scriptures, they have been multiplied from descendants, the inheritance of Jiangshan Sheji talks about the relationship between heaven and earth, love between men and women, and the adjustment of yin and yang. Speaking of.

Tang Yue conveyed his intentions to Li Zhao, who stopped everyone's voices with a wave of his hand, and said in a deep voice, "There is no need to give a marriage to this matter, and you, the Lord of the Town, will be the end of it."

"..." Everyone was silent, thinking to themselves: Your Majesty, you are really ruthless!

Wang Dingjun's face turned rosy rarely, no matter how thick-skinned he is, he would feel embarrassed now, all blame Zhao Sanlang, for mentioning the imperial decree to bestow marriage, which made him rush out of his mind.

Seeing the disgusted look on Zhang Chun's face, he got up disheveledly, pretending to be nonchalant, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your encouragement, Your Majesty, I will definitely embrace the beauty!"

The "beauty" Zhang Chun rolled his eyes, and decided to torture him for a while longer, to let him know that it depends on the person who is full of self-confidence!

The thoughts of the eight small county kings outside the episode

The reception banquet didn't end until the child's hour. The women's family left an hour ago because the empress dowager was old and had a rest early. In the end, the empress dowager actually chose two young girls and said she would keep them Stay in the palace for a few days.

The two selected one is the granddaughter of Xue Tingwei, the other is the cousin girl of An Guogong's mansion, one is eight years old and the other is nine years old. protrude.

The empress dowager came from the mansion of An Guogong, and the cousin girl had to call her cousin aunt when talking about her relationship. It is not surprising that she was favored, but Xue Tingwei was highly regarded by the emperor and was an important minister in the court. The empress dowager Shi En and his granddaughter Also normal.

It's just that those who were not selected were somewhat regretful and disappointed. There was not even a little princess in the palace. It was conceivable how much these two little ladies would be loved by the Queen Mother.

When Tang Yue heard the news, he just laughed it off. He actually understood Hu's thoughts. Her son was already gone on a detour. Follow the old path of your son.

Those two little girls were probably selected by the Empress Dowager after thousands of choices. They must be the top choice in terms of appearance and character. The next thing she will do is to let these two little girls often spend time in Xiaoluo. Luo showed up.

Although Tang Yue didn't like the ancient marriage ordered by his parents and the matchmaker's words, he didn't object to Hu's practice.

He himself does not mean that he hopes that his son will do the same. He will be happier if Xiao Luoluo can marry a wife and have children in the future, but no matter what, he will respect his son's choice.

The ministers left one after another. Half an hour later, Zhao Sanlang walked out of the palace gate drunkenly. Behind him, the heavy palace gate slowly closed.

He belched, whistled, and summoned his beloved horse to come over, and the guards of the general's mansion led the horse over.

He scratched Aiju's ear and said with a smile, "I kept you waiting, let's go home."

Two guards supported him on the horse, and was about to turn around to leave, when he saw a man standing in front of the horse, tall and imposing.

The two subconsciously drew their swords to guard, and then the lantern outside the palace wall saw the man's face clearly, and hurriedly knelt down to salute: "Hello, the prince of the county!"

"Hey, isn't this the little county king? Why hasn't he left yet? Could it be that he is waiting for the general?" Zhao Sanlang lay on his horse and looked at him with a smile.

Zhao Sanlang secretly sighed, the vicious and domineering little pervert in the past has grown up, he looks unparalleled, but his eyes and expression still look like someone owes him tens of thousands of gold, which is really unpleasant.

I don't know if he has been beaten too much before, but every time he sees this little pervert, he feels a headache.

"Yes." The other party replied briefly.

Although Zhao Sanlang was drunk, his thinking was still clear. Hearing his answer, he couldn't help but wonder what kind of connection he had with the county prince.

I heard that Princess Huizhu has changed men again recently, can't this little pervert still miss his little thoughts from before?

"I don't know what advice the county king has?" Zhao Sanlang asked calmly.

The king of the little county stretched out his right hand, grabbed the reins of the horse, and then kicked the guards on the left and right with a stern look, "This king has something to say to your generals in private, you stand down."

"Li Cheng, you don't seem to be able to be my master?" Zhao Sanlang looked at him sarcastically, did he still think that he was the boy who could not fight back when he beat him or scolded him?

The little prince let go of his hand, lowered his eyebrows a little, "I have something to tell you, or do you want them to listen too?"

"Is there anything else between this general and you that cannot be known?" Why doesn't he remember?

Just when the two guards were walking or not walking, the Xiaojun King suddenly took a step back, tiptoed, lightly jumped on the horse's back, turned over and sat astride behind Zhao Sanlang, then held the reins, kicked the horse's belly forcefully, The three of them were stunned and took Zhao Sanlang to gallop away.

Things developed so fast and suddenly that even Zhao Sanlang didn't react, and when he came back to his senses, he yelled loudly: "Li Cheng, what are you doing?"

The wind took most of his voice away, and what Li Cheng heard was only a vague voice, he kept silent and continued to gallop on the street with one person and one horse.

Zhao Sanlang is not a person who has no strength to restrain a chicken. Seeing this, he moved his arm and stabbed his elbow back forcefully. At the same time, his body tilted, trying to break free from Li Cheng's embrace.

Li Cheng was prepared when he walked, and he didn't loosen even an elbow. Seeing that he was about to get off his horse, he hugged him tightly. At this moment, the horse's speed was too fast. .

"do not move!"

"Heh, the county prince dared to hijack this general openly, did he want to make an enemy of the general's mansion?"

"You don't have to be so nervous, this king said, I just want to have a few words with you in private."

Zhao Sanlang cursed secretly: It's just a few words, is it necessary to make such a big battle?

When the news of Ming'er comes, how can he save Zhao Sanlang's face?

"Speak up if you have something to say, the general is all ears!"

Li Cheng didn't answer, but continued to ride his horse forward at a fast speed. Zhao Sanlang was very familiar with Yecheng, so he could tell that he was going out of the city.

He sneered, "The gate of the city has already been locked, does the county prince want to fly out?"

The two of them arrived at the gate of the city quickly, Li Cheng took a token from his waist and threw it over, and said in a deep voice: "Open the small gate, my king has something urgent to leave the city!"

Zhao Sanlang bit his lower lip and tasted the taste of iron rust. How could he have forgotten that this kid is now in charge of the guards of the entire Ye City, and he is also an extraordinary figure.

No wonder he dared to go straight to the gate of the city. Those soldiers and crabs dared not obstruct them when they saw the token, so they obediently opened the door to let them pass.

After leaving the city and traveling another ten miles, Li Cheng ordered the horse to stop. The colt originally belonged to Zhao Sanlang kicked the ground irritably, as if unwilling to listen to the stranger's order.

Zhao Sanlang looked around, and found that they came to a wilderness, surrounded by pitch black, if the eyes hadn't adapted to the darkness, they might not even be able to see the outline clearly.

There was a dead silence around, neither of them spoke, they still sat on the horseback one after the other.

Zhao Sanlang was thinking about how to speak up, how to teach this little pervert a lesson, after all, he is the prince of the county, and he might not be able to explain it if he hit hard.

But Li Cheng was reluctant to open his mouth to destroy this rare harmonious atmosphere, let alone let go of the person in his arms.

As long as he can remember, no one has made him miss as much as Zhao Sanlang. He has a withdrawn and violent personality since he was a child, and even his biological mother doesn't like him, and most of the servants are afraid of him except flattery.

After his father died, his mother neglected him more and more, so that even he himself didn't know that his temper was getting worse and worse, and sometimes he couldn't even control his words and deeds.

Until Zhao Sanlang appeared, this man who was a round younger than his mother tried to marry his mother in vain, really... blind!

He made things difficult for Zhao Sanlang everywhere, and beating him was not just because he didn't like him, of course, he didn't like any man who had a relationship with his mother, but there was something about Zhao Sanlang that made him want to get close.

Therefore, every time he came to the house with an excuse, Li Cheng would feel depressed, thinking that he was as superficial as a man outside, and would be confused by such a woman.

So every time he sees him, Li Cheng can't help but beat him up. Zhao Sanlang is also a fool. Even if he has the strength to fight back, he doesn't fight back. For his servants, he would definitely think that the other party did not dare to fight back and wanted to curry favor with him.

But he is not, the identity of the son of the Duke of Zhenguo is not much inferior to him, the little county king, and he has every right to fight back.

But the more he resigned himself to it, the more angry Li Cheng became. As time passed, this anger turned into a strange dependence.

Later, Zhao Sanlang gradually stopped coming to the house, and I heard that he was very close to the son of Marquis of Liyang, and they were very good friends.

The man he's seen before always looks meek, what's wrong?

Also, the way he looks at himself is extremely annoying. When others see him, they are either fearful or disgusted, but he always has a look of pity and sympathy, and he likes to teach others, which is really not pleasing.

Then, he heard that Zhao Sanlang had broken with the Duke of Zhen, and left the Duke of Zhen's mansion with his seriously injured mother.

At that time Li Cheng wanted to rush to find him, to give him a place to stay, but as soon as one foot stepped out of the gate, he flinched. Although he was the king of a small county, this mansion was not his home. How could he let Zhao Sanlang live in a place that even he himself hated?

Thinking of this, he didn't have the face to meet Zhao Sanlang anymore. When he mustered up the courage to find him, he found that he was missing.

Maybe it wasn't called missing, he just couldn't see him. It is said that he followed Prince Zhao and was sent out to handle errands.

As for where he went and what he was going to do, it was naturally impossible for Prince Zhao to tell him.

Time passed bit by bit like this, and the little boy in the past has gradually grown up. He understands missing, love, and what he really thinks about Zhao Sanlang.

When he heard again that Zhao Sanlang was at war between the north and the south, in order to get closer to that person and to grow himself up faster, Li Cheng abandoned his identity and joined the army, even willing to start as a lowly soldier. Step by step, he got the affirmation of Prince Zhao, and only after he ascended the throne did he have what he is today.

His experience is not complicated, the past is not rough, the only thing that pushes him forward is that person, otherwise, he may take that step, others can bravely stand up to pursue their own happiness, but he dare not , because he was afraid.

He was afraid that once he took this step, his longing, his dream, and the person he was thinking of would get farther and farther away from him, and even cut off the weak connection.

General Jiuben is not familiar with you

Zhao Sanlang took a deep breath, barely suppressed the anger in his heart, and asked: "Li Cheng, if you have something to say, you might as well just say it, big man, why are you so coy?"

The two were sitting next to each other, Zhao Sanlang could hear the rapid heartbeat behind him, and thought a little strangely: I haven't provoked him in the past few years, have I?He was beaten up so badly before and never thought about taking revenge. What else can't he let go?

"If I let go, are you sure you won't run away?"

Zhao Sanlang rolled his eyes, but unfortunately the other party couldn't see, "Why are you running? You are the kidnapper, and if you want to run, you should be the one to run."

Li Cheng loosened his hand halfway, but he didn't let go of him. He hesitated for a moment, and summoned up his courage to say, "Zhao Xian, from a very early age, this king has always... ?”

"Ah?" Zhao Sanlang turned his head quickly, and hit the back of his head heavily on Li Cheng's forehead, but the other party ignored the pain and stared at Zhao Sanlang closely.

But the night was too dark, there wasn't even a little light in the surrounding area, it was good enough for him to see the other party's head turned, naturally he couldn't see the colorful colors on Zhao Sanlang's face.

Zhao Sanlang said silently: This is an illusion!Then with a sudden force on his arm, he broke away from Li Cheng's embrace, turned over and jumped off the horse, and roared with his hands on his hips, "Fuck you! I was able to fall in love with your mother back then, which means I'm not good at that, and you didn't take it off." Look under your pants, what chance can I give you?"

Zhao Sanlang has been hanging out with a group of soldiers all these years, men come and go, and there is Tang Yue's case, so he naturally understands Li Cheng's meaning.

But he was only angry when he understood. He has been confessed by many people in recent years, both men and women. It is common to be thrown handkerchiefs and flowers when walking on the street, but so far, no one who dares to throw himself into his arms None of the men end well.

Li Cheng knew that things couldn't go smoothly, and aside from the muddled things about sitting down when he was a child, the number of times the two of them met in the past few years was very small, and their relationship naturally faded a lot.

If it wasn't for his own obsession, Zhao Sanlang might not have had the courage to take this step, seeing that he was approaching his thirties.

"Is it really unacceptable?" Li Cheng jumped off his horse and stood in front of him.

Zhao Sanlang sneered, "I really don't see that the little county king also has some hobbies, but as you, what kind of man do you want, why are you obsessed with this general?"

Li Cheng laughed self-deprecatingly: "If it wasn't for you, what would others have to do with me?"

"Thank you so much for your kindness. It's a pity that this general is not blessed to endure it. You should give up your heart."

"As far as sincerity is concerned, gold and stone can be opened, this king will not give up!"

"...!" Zhao Sanlang stared wide-eyed, and silently scolded his mother when the other party couldn't see clearly.

"Hehe, then you work hard, and I forgive the general for not accompanying you!" Zhao Sanlang whistled, and the horse that had been standing blankly grazing at the side snorted and ran towards him.

He jumped on the horse's back at the right time, pulled the reins, gripped the horse's belly and ran away quickly, leaving Li Cheng alone in the dark to regret.

Halfway through the run, Zhao Sanlang stopped the horse, and the more he thought about it, the more something went wrong. How could he just run away like this?At this time, shouldn't he be beaten up to relieve his anger before throwing him into a mass grave to feed the wolves?

I heard that the little pervert is quite talented in martial arts, and he has few opponents in the army at a young age, so he is one of the emperor's favorites, but he is not bad. If you really want to judge the level, you may not lose to him.

Running away like this without thinking, it seems to be running away. If the other party really makes up his mind to stick to him, will he have a peaceful life in the future?

He looked back at the way he came. If the other party walked back on his legs at this time, he might not be able to enter the city at dawn. He deserved it. He had to run to a place where no one was around before he dared to speak. What a coward. !

Zhao Sanlang made up his mind that if Li Cheng dared to pester him with shamelessness in the future, he must avenge the parents he beat up without knowing him, and take revenge for years ago.

"Today is cheap you little bastard!" He turned his head and rode back to the city.

But when he got to the gate of the city, he found an embarrassing thing, his majestic general was not even qualified to open the gate of the city!

The city gate guards recognized his face, but Datang's military regulations are strict, not everything can be solved with just one face.

The gates of the city had to be opened very quickly, unless there was an imperial decree or token, otherwise even if the queen came, she would have to obediently wait until Maoshi before entering the gate.

Zhao Sanlang spun around under the city wall, scolding Li Cheng's three generations of ancestors more and more, but he also knew that there was no better way, so he could only dismount and wait outside the city.

Within half an hour, there was the sound of horseshoes approaching in the distance, and it was not just a single horse. In fact, he looked and saw a team of about ten colts galloping towards the gate of the city with the faint light.

At this time, it was already light, and there were people outside the city waiting to enter the city with their burdens.

Since the opening of the morning market in the west city, the people in the suburbs would bring their own things into the city to sell from time to time. The imperial court exempted them from taxes, which made their lives much easier.

The people saw that the horse team retreated to the side of the road spontaneously, and Zhao Sanlang was not conspicuous alone, and a group of people from the other side rushed to the bottom of the city wall before stopping.

"Open the door!" A sturdy man threw the hammer in his hand vigorously, and the iron chain drew an arc in the air, and then heard a piercing impact.

The gates of Yecheng were made of thick iron gates, and the hammer didn't move at all except for the loud sound.

Zhao Sanlang was amazed, this group of people didn't know their origins, they dared to act wildly in Ye City, their aura was so chic, they were many times stronger than him as a general.

You know he is still huddled in the corner waiting for the door to open.

However, his idea only lasted for a moment before being dismissed by the entire row of archers appearing on the tower.

Heh, the weapons guarding the city gate are top-notch, and the archers are strong soldiers carefully selected by the Tang Dynasty. Let alone ten people, even ten thousand people can shoot them into a hornet's nest.

"Whoever is causing trouble outside the gate, leave quickly, otherwise we will follow the strategy against the enemy!" The general guarding the city gate shouted downward.

Zhao Sanlang crossed his arms, stared at the group of people, and thought to himself: They are really a group of people who are not afraid of death, and I don't know where they got the courage to shout at the feet of the emperor.

Their attire looks more like northerners, but in the past few years, the remnants of the North Vietnamese party have been suppressed and recruited for security.

Whose power would that be?

Just when Zhao Sanlang couldn't figure it out, the other party took out a sheepskin scroll from his bosom, put it on the tip of a long arrow, and shot it towards the tower.

"You will know when you read this letter!"

Zhao Sanlang looked at Yu Zhiming on the tower. The man who was said to be picked up by a little pervert was his confidant.

He had seen himself and Li Cheng go out of the city together before, and now he will come back alone, so he doesn't know what he will think.

Zhao Sanlang's mind wandered for a while, and Yu Zhiming had already taken down the arrow on the wall and opened the cowhide roll. In just a moment, his face changed several times, and his brows furrowed deeply.

What could it be?Zhao Sanlang looked at the group of people carefully, their facial features were more profound and three-dimensional, a bit like the barbarians north of Beiyue, and their voices didn't sound like those of Beiyue people, but they were satisfied to come all the way to Yecheng for what?

"Forgive me, General, for not being the master. Please wait a little longer." Yu Zhiming took the sheepskin roll down the tower as soon as he finished speaking.

As soon as he left, the group of people at the gate of the city began to communicate in another language, and Zhao Sanlang confirmed their identities.

There is an endless territory to the north of North Vietnam. The land is vast and sparsely populated, and there are countless tribes, large and small.

After the reunification of the North and the South, some people also suggested that the barbarian tribes be included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty in one go, but was refuted by the then Prince Zhao. First, the climate in the north was cold, and the soldiers of the Southern Jin Dynasty could not adapt. Second, the land was sparsely populated. , just finding someone is a problem.

What's more, the barbarians are mainly nomadic and are best at riding horses. It is difficult for them to catch up with people. In a real fight, it is not certain who will win or lose.

Therefore, the Tang Dynasty and the barbarians are truly well watered, but why did these people suddenly come to Yecheng?

While waiting for the city gate to open, Zhao Sanlang guarded the group of people to see what they wanted to do.

But before he could wait, Li Cheng leaned over on his horse, with mud rolling on the hem of his clothes, his hair was a little messy, and he looked a little embarrassed.

Zhao Sanlang turned cold and didn't want to tangle with him.

Li Cheng didn't seem to have any intention of putting on a face. After dismounting from his horse, he stood beside him, also without saying a word, staring at the group of barbarians.

After a long while, he drummed
