Princess of Han

From Taiping to Chuzhou, perhaps because this section of the route had already been laid down by Chen Youliang, the route was unexpectedly calm.

When the group finally arrived in Chuzhou, Xu Peiyao sat on the carriage, stretched out her hand and gently opened a slit in the curtain, and looked up at the city gate.

finally reached.

"Pei Yao, have you arrived in Lingzhou City?" Seeing her daughter staring outside, Xu's mother in the carriage suddenly fidgeted.

"Mother, we're here." Xu Peiyao put down the curtain, turned her head and smiled softly at her mother who was looking sad.

"Mother, we are here, you should be happy, why are you frowning?"

A Zhuo couldn't help being curious, and opened the curtain to look at the gate of Chuzhou City.Hearing what Peiyao said, she turned her head and looked at Mother Xu.

"Auntie, what Peiyao said is right, we should be happy. But I finally arrived in Chuzhou, and if I don't come again, no matter how strong my body is, I can't bear it anymore." A Zhuo rubbed his waist and legs because of riding a carriage all day. body, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Going out for a trip is really hard work!

Xu's mother gently took her daughter's hand, with unstoppable worry on her face: "Pei Yao, mother suddenly remembered that we didn't know each other well in Chuzhou, and we didn't have any relatives, so we just came here. Where can the family be settled? Even if they rent a house, it’s too late.” Even if Pei Yao told her before that she had already made arrangements, Mother Xu only treated her as a daughter to ease her heart, and she didn’t feel very concerned about it. letter.

Who knows that in this era, women are still unable to show their faces, how can she believe it.

Of course, if the son said this, Xu's mother would not have been uneasy and hopeless.

Xu Peiyao patted her mother's hand and comforted her softly: "Mother, you have to trust me..."

A Zhuo curled his lips, but he didn't take it seriously: "Auntie, what's there to worry about? Isn't Chen Youliang very famous in Chuzhou? Will there be a good house?"

Xu's mother suddenly darkened her face: "Mr. Chen's house belongs to Mr. Chen's family. Our Xu family naturally lives in our Xu family's place. How can someone who is not relatives rush to live in a young master's house? Nothing to provoke criticism. Even if you have a marriage contract, you can't be so shameless and let others look down on my girl from the Xu family."

A Zhuo didn't expect Aunt Xu's reaction to be so strong, he was a little embarrassed and twisted awkwardly.

"Auntie, look at me, I said the wrong thing again, don't be angry, I'm just talking casually." A Zhuo wanted to slap himself on the mouth a few times, so that you can speak quickly and without any scruples, knowing that Aunt Xu respects rules , I don't want others to spread bad rumors about Peiyao, and they are still so careless.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit depressed, Xu Peiyao quickly took Mother Xu's hand and changed the topic.

"Mother, I have asked someone to buy a house in Chuzhou. When it arrives later, mother and father will see if you are satisfied."

"Bought a house? Peiyao, isn't it very expensive to buy a house in Chuzhou? Where did you get so much money?"

"Mom, you forgot, I found my godfather. Godfather was originally the protector of the White Lotus Sect, so the house will not worry about it." Of course, she just said this to stabilize her mother.In fact, the Bailian Sect was previously controlled by Han Shantong Liu Futong, so how could it still have her godfather position.

Her godfather took her to flee back then, even if he had some money with him, there was nothing left over these years.It's just that facing a mother who doesn't know anything about it, the identity of a godfather is easy to use, and my mother wouldn't doubt it too much.

"This...wouldn't be inappropriate." Sure enough, Mother Xu didn't doubt much, but her expression was somewhat hesitant.

Because Peiyao was sent to their home by the host back then, although Xu's mother did not reject the host giving Peiyao many things from time to time, she felt a little anxious, uneasy, and unwilling to accept other people's good intentions for no reason.And this kindness, although it was entirely for Peiyao, they still took advantage of it.

"Why is it inappropriate. Mother, when we are stable in the future, we can take our godfather over to support us. Godfather can't go back to Huangjue Temple now. Huangjue Temple has also declined due to the lack of incense after godfather disappeared. All the little novice monks had to go out to make alms for their families because they couldn’t survive, and my godfather was alone outside, I couldn’t bear it.”

What the daughter said was the same, Mother Xu nodded and sighed.

"It's not easy for Gao Bin to host. The world is not good, and there is no incense in Huangjue Temple. I don't know how uncomfortable the host will be if he knows."

Xu Peiyao was silent.

Huangjue Temple is the painstaking effort of godfather for many years.Although it was the choice that godfather had to make in order to avoid being chased and killed, in the past ten years of eating fast, reciting Buddha, and ringing the bell for morning classes, godfather has already regarded Huangjue Temple as his last shelter.Happily...

She didn't want to see her godfather's miserable evening.

Although her godfather never said it, she could think of it.If it wasn't for her back then, his godfather would still be the supreme protector of the White Lotus Sect. Compared with Han Shantong Liu Futong, who has countless incense altar masters, his godfather's status is much higher.In order to protect her who was just born that year, her godfather abandoned everything, even being chased and killed by the White Lotus Sect, and even shaved ordained to become a monk, so she managed to grow up safely for more than ten years.

She owes her godfather too much.

The soldiers guarding the city gate checked all the people who entered the city, with a cold face, dedicated to their duties, with an invisible aura that made the people fear.

Those people who are afraid to speak in their hearts do not know that the aura is only possessed by those who have killed people on the battlefield and have blood on their knives.

Not long ago, there was a bloody war in Chuzhou City, and the officials in it were slaughtered by the rebel army, and it still makes people feel lingering fear.The ban on entering and exiting after the city gates were closed was lifted a few days ago. The current Chuzhou City does not seem to be seriously injured, but the people are always uneasy.

Even if the imperial court is rotten, it occupies the morality of the world, and its influence in the hearts of the people is also deeply rooted.

Especially prestige.unless……

"Who are the people in the car? Get down and let's check."

Before they knew it, it was their turn for the people in line ahead.Seeing so many people entering the city in this process, and there are many guards inside who are tough at first glance, the soldiers guarding the city couldn't help but clenched their spears tightly, feeling nervous for a while.

Could this group of people be sent by the imperial court to attack them?

Of course, this possibility is very small.People in the imperial court are not idiots, how could they brazenly send people to sneak in, and still act like they are dragging their families?

Of course, as "rebels" who were oppressed by the imperial court and could only stage an uprising, they were under a lot of pressure. They kept their heads on their waistbands at any time, so they naturally had to keep their eyes wide open, lest one day When I woke up, I was at Caishikou.

Inside the carriage, Xu's mother grabbed the hand of the girl beside her, her face tensed.

"Peyao!"

"Mother, don't worry, we will enter the city soon." Reassuring her worried mother, Xu Peiyao had no intention of going down at all.

Someone will take care of everything.

Sure enough, without waiting for Xu Peiyao's order, the chief guard who had been guarding her carriage came out on horseback.

"I am Zhao Jinsheng under King Ming, let me go!"

The soldiers guarding the city looked at each other, hesitating for a while, not knowing whether it was true or false.They are just soldiers at the bottom. He Cheng has seen the high officials above, let alone the king.Fortunately, since seeing their group of people coming, someone was afraid that they would come in a bad way, so someone quickly notified the officer above.

During this delay, a large group of generals on horseback arrived in the city.

Seeing Zhao Jinsheng, the visitor was overjoyed.

"It really is Mr. Zhao. Quickly, invite Mr. Zhao to come in. Come, come, tell Mr. Ming Wang, and say that Mr. Zhao is back."

In the past few days, he has been warned by people, and once he sees Master Zhao coming back, he will immediately notify King Ming.

Even, what flattered him was that King Ming even met him personally and gave him some careful instructions.

The military general who didn't know what was going on only thought King Ming valued him, and since then swore that he would follow King Ming loyally to conquer the world, and he would never hesitate to do so.

"Open the city gate!"

Zhao Jinsheng breathed a sigh of relief.Seeing the gate of Chuzhou City, his brows that had been tightly frowned before relaxed.Fortunately, he did not disgrace his fate, and finally sent back the woman King Ming cared most about safely.

In the carriage, Xu's mother, who had never seen such a big battle before, was a little flustered, and subconsciously exerted force on her daughter's hands.

"Peyao!"

Xu Peiyao didn't change her face, she didn't seem to pay attention at all: "Mother, Chen Youliang is in trouble, and Chuzhou City is under his control now. So, don't worry, it's fine." She had actually told her mother about this before.It's just that what she said was a little vague at that time, and she didn't tell her mother about Chuzhou City.

Hearing this, Xu's mother let out a breath slowly, although her complexion was not very good-looking, but it finally eased a lot.

A Zhuo let go of the hand that subconsciously grabbed Peiyao's dress just now, and patted his chest.

She opened a curtain curiously, looked at the man on the tall horse outside, and was amazed.

"Pei Yao, I didn't expect that the head of the guard is still a big official. I didn't see it before, and I thought it was just an insignificant soldier. Chen Youliang is really willing to spend money and let his capable men drop everything to support you. Tsk Tsk tsk, I'm really envious of me. If I didn't get married, I might be tempted."

This heartbeat, I don't know who it is talking about.

Xu Peiyao gave A Zhuo a funny look.

It is impossible to say that Ah Zhuo will fall in love with Chen Youliang.A Zhuo was terrified of Chen Youliang to death.

She didn't say much, she sat beside her mother and gently supported her.Until the carriage entered the city under the guard of those cavalry, Xu Peiyao waved for her sleeves, whispered a few words in her ear, and then sat back in the carriage with a calm expression.

Zhao Jinsheng's eyebrows twitched when he heard the maid's message, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He thought for a while, and finally turned his horse's head and walked to the front of the carriage. He quickly turned over and got off the horse, and bowed with a straight body.

"Miss Xu, are you not going to see King Ming? King Ming has been waiting for a long time."

After a while, there was a soft, dusty sound from inside the carriage.

"My family is exhausted from traveling and traveling. As a daughter, after I settle down with my parents, I will personally come to thank Mr. Chen."

"This..." Zhao Jinsheng thought for a while, and felt that this was also the case.Along the way, everyone was more or less disheveled, and the girl from the Xu family had a marriage contract with King Ming, so she somewhat didn't want her fiancé to see her embarrassed side.

He thought he understood the girl's mind, and he couldn't find an excuse to stop him, so he had no choice but to watch the carriage leave in front of him.

I just hope that when King Ming asks about it later, it won't be too miserable.

Zhao Jinsheng got on his horse, watched the Xu family's carriage gradually go away, then turned around on the horse, and led his men towards Chuzhou Mansion.
