During the day, Princess Tangshuo and Ji Shanjing were chatting and laughing, their postures were full of expressions, they no longer looked shy at all, they were still as charming as before.
However, at night, under the candlelight, her demeanor gradually changed, as if something bad was about to happen, and she tried every means to avoid staying in the same place as Ji Shanjing.
When Ji Shanjing saw the sky darkening, he became very energetic and interested, looking for something interesting to say.
The princess didn't seem to care much after hearing this, and showed she was always on guard.
Yang Guogong thought that it was natural for his daughter to be shy for the first time, and it was inevitable that she would become ill after being frightened by the thief.
Even though she tried to comfort her by saying that "men and women live in the same room, human beings are ethical", and wanted to use these principles to strengthen the princess's courage, she didn't expect that she didn't seem to understand this at all.
I saw her not speaking for a long time, just sitting still.
Yang Guogong said, "If you really don't like the prince-in-law, it's not impossible to go out to meet someone in a few days and find... some faces."
Ji Shanjing did not dare to urge her one after another, nor did he dare to force the princess, so he had to break his teeth and swallow it into his stomach.
Returning to Ji's house that day, he called Ji Liyou for the first time.
Ji Liyou asked about the princess's body and was about to leave when Ji Shanjing told him to stop.
He thought Ji Shanjing wanted to discuss court affairs with him, but to his surprise, Ji Shanjing said, "How much do you know about the princess's death in Donghu?"
Ji Liyou was slightly surprised.
"I'm asking you, didn't you hear me?"
"What exactly do you want to ask?"
"Did she... have her heart set on someone else?"
When Ji Liyou saw him lowering his head, he couldn't bear it and said, "No, she is not attracted to any man."
"real?"
The dignified Grand Sima of the Southern Wei Dynasty actually asked the princess in such a low voice if she had a sweetheart. Ji Liyou felt even more pitiful for Ji Shanjing.
"There is such a person, a wandering doctor from Shiwei, the one you promoted to the position of Yijige, but he is already dead. Besides, I think Ran Ran is just a child with a temporary temper and doesn't have much affection for him."
"... Where is Wei Lang?"
"What did you ask him for?" Ji Liyou suddenly remembered what happened on the wedding day and felt a little embarrassed.
"Wei Lang and Ran Ran, the two of them..." The storyteller said that there was a marriage between them, but Ji Liyou felt that if the two were really in love, it would have sprouted long ago in the grassland or on the way to Shiwei. Now.
"Ran Ran has always only regarded him as a friend, so you don't have to worry."
"Friend? Are you sure?"
"nature."
"Ran Ran doesn't want you to get close to her, right?" Ji Liyou asked.
Ji Shanjing looked confused, "How do you know?"
Ji Liyou sighed. He had already thought of Ranran's temper. In fact, she didn't care who she married. She thought it was natural to be with Ji Shanjing. When everyone said that they should be together, Ranran would do the same. She thought so, but when they really got married, Ran Ran might not be able to accept the change in her relationship with Ji Shanjing, and she was not even willing to accept his touch as a man.
Ji Liyou said, "Don't force her yet. She may not have someone else in mind. Don't think too much and wait patiently."
"It's been a few months since we got married. How long do I have to wait?"
Ji Liyou patted his shoulder and said, "Don't forget that she is a princess. Lower your posture and don't let her feel that you are forcing her. This will only push her further and further away."
"You don't need to teach me, I understand."
After that, it turned out that only those who were summoned entered the princess's mansion, and the consort and the princess did not see each other for ten days and a half.
On this day, Jimo Ran was sitting on the edge of the bed, with his head lowered as if thinking about something. He had been sitting there for about once, but he still didn't show any signs of sleepiness.
She waved.
Immediately a maid came over and said, "Your Highness."
"Is the consort in the house?"
"Yes, after dinner, the prince-in-law did not return to Ji's Mansion. He was still reading official documents."
"Go and ask him to come over."
"Call the consort here?" The maid was surprised.
"Yeah." He seemed to have made up his mind.
After Ji Shanjing washed up, he slept alone in the soft, warm and fragrant quilt, still not daring to be too reckless, while Jimo Ran just sat on the edge of the bed, as if she disliked him.
It was getting late now, and everyone in the outer room was sound asleep and silent.
Jimo Ran was cruel and simply came down to blow out the candlelight.
Seeing her blowing out the candlelight, Ji Shanjing stood up and hugged her.
He just hugged her tightly, supporting her with one hand in the darkness, and freed up the other to hold her waist.
Jimo Ran didn't push him away anymore.
Ji Shanjing then felt relieved and gently untied her clothes and loosened her belt.
Because the room was dark and he couldn't see anything, Ji Shanjing could only guide her to the bed by touch, and he was afraid that she would hit something in the dark.
Seeing that he was playing a trick of catching a blind man, he groped around the room several times, breathing heavily from his nose and mouth, Jimo Ran smiled and said, "Are you playing hide and seek?"
Ji Shanjing was helpless and said, "It's not too dark. I'm afraid you might fall."
Jimo Ran coughed, and immediately someone opened the door and came in and lit a lamp, and the room was immediately filled with candlelight as bright as day.
Suddenly I heard Jimo Ran's soft and crisp voice, saying: "You all should go out. Don't come in unless I tell you."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Jimo Ran came close to his ear and said, "Can you hold me?"
When Ji Shanjing heard the voice, he leaned close to his right ear and hugged him unexpectedly.
"At least he has some boxing skills."
As soon as he put her on the bed, Ji Shanjing turned around to drink water.
Jimo Ran sat beside the bed, "Are you thirsty?"
There was only a clapping sound, and Ji Shanjing's forehead hit a wardrobe. Gold flowers burst out in his eyes, and the pain was unbearable. Just as he was about to tell the princess that it didn't matter, his wrist hit the corner of the cabinet, which also made his arm sore and numb.
This touch made Ran Ran cover her mouth and laugh, and said, "Stop moving, just come here." Then the maids could be heard laughing outside the room.
Ji Shanjing ignored the pain in his wrist and slowly walked up to her and said, "From now on, if I have any disobedience to the princess, I will be punished by heaven and earth, and my body will be turned into dust immediately. If the princess feels that this oath is too light, no matter how serious the oath is, , I can make it."
After that, listen carefully to Jimo Ran's answer.
It was silent for a while.
When Jimo Ran saw him, he knelt on one knee in front of him. As a courtier and as a husband, he leaned forward and kissed him.
Ji Shanjing smiled and said, "Princess, do you know? The day I first met you, I was thinking about today. Thousands of times I thought I would be forced to death by my mother and grandmother, but with the princess here, Wei Chen was thinking, what if I The princess will definitely be sad if she dies, so she endures it and acts domineering in the court, just because the Liangzhu family understands that the Ji family cannot be bullied."
After saying that, he took her wrist and put it to his lips, "With the princess by my side, I have nothing to fear."
I just hugged her a while ago, but it scared her so much that she didn't want to sleep with him.
Everything should go according to her tonight.
He just stayed there and did nothing.
Jimo Ran saw his thoughts and said, "No wife will always be afraid of her husband."
After hearing this, Ji Shanjing dared to continue undressing her clothes.
When he woke up the next morning, there was no Jimo Ran in the room. Ji Shanjing hurriedly grabbed the maid and asked, "Where is the princess now? Do you know?"
The maid smiled and said: "The princess is feeding the birds in the yard! Just now she said that the prince-in-law slept late last night and asked us not to wake you up. You will get up naturally after you have slept well. The hot soup has been prepared. Do you want the prince-in-law to wash up now?" ?”
He breathed a sigh of relief.
The Southern Wei Dynasty mobilized troops to march eastward and attacked Donghu. It is planned to send 300,000 troops to wipe out the rebellious officials in the East.
General Lu was ordered to raise a large army in various states and counties for a month and be ready for dispatch at any time.
After Lord Lu received the order, his eyes were fierce, "I will capture Wei Lang, the fugitive from Wei, and dedicate his head to him!"
The special envoy of the Southern Wei Dynasty came to Donghu to convey the decree, and the eyes of the Shiwei people showed a long-lost murderous spirit. Now all the Donghu nobles have been accepted by Wei Lang in the court. If they do not obey, they will die. Although most of the Donghu people are scattered tribes, Wei Lang is more powerful than others. Yijige has the courage to be a king. Under his leadership, Donghu has defeated the Southern Wei army three times in a row. This is a rare victory for Donghu in a hundred years.
Rather than being slaves to the Southern Wei people, it would be better for the grassland people to become the overlords of the world again.
The soldiers and horses of the Southern Wei Dynasty had just been assembled in place, and Wei Lang had already led his troops in Yaoshan to wait for the arrival of the Southern Wei army.
Because of Wei Lang's extremely beautiful appearance, he was ridiculed by his enemies on the battlefield. He didn't want to continue disguising himself, so he put on a ghost-like mask, which was extremely scary.
Donghu Zhi recorded that he had a soft and kind appearance, beautiful voice and appearance, and was covered with a ghostly mask. He was invincible...
In the Battle of Yaoshan, the Donghu people were condescending, and the Southern Wei army was exposed in front of them like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
Wei Lang ordered the arrows to be released immediately, and the sound of breaking through the air surged up like a sparrow passing by. In an instant, the heads, ears, and eyes of the Southern Wei army were filled with roaring arrows and crossbows. Some people had their skulls pierced by spear-sized crossbow arrows. , were nailed to the ground, and some were pierced like hedgehogs and died beyond recognition.
General Lu of the Southern Wei Dynasty was discourteous in the first battle, and when word came back to the court, His Majesty was so angry that he swept the memorial to the ground.
The Donghu army was unstoppable and surged towards the Southern Wei army like a tide, forcing it to retreat steadily until it exited the Donghu border.
The Southern Wei Dynasty became a laughing stock for a while. The little-known new king of Donghu actually defeated the Southern Wei people.
Soon some people from Beiqiu formed an alliance with them, and Diaotie secretly sent an envoy. The situation became increasingly uncontrollable.
General Lu was not idle here either. He personally led a large army, raised thousands of flags, and launched another mighty attack.
Unexpectedly, he was beaten by Shi Wei and Dong Hu people and was unable to resist, but he refused to retreat because of his face.
Wei Lang's purpose at this time was to make the Southern Wei people retreat, and naturally he was not very interested in slaughtering the Southern Wei army, so he went straight to General Lu's fatal point, but did not rush to pursue the fleeing Southern Wei army.
Although General Lu already wanted to retreat, he did not want to retreat in such a mess.
Everyone advised: "Coach, don't hesitate, keep it useful and come back later."
Another person said, "General, let's go, today this is Wei Lang's world."
"What the hell do you know?" He was so angry that he flew into a rage. "In my whole life as a soldier, when have I ever been in such a mess?"
He was really unwilling to retreat like this and returned to Liangzhu. He didn't even know how to explain to His Majesty. Your Majesty would definitely punish him severely.
After being beaten to a pulp by a mere three thousand people from Weilang, who knows if he will have a chance to wash away his shame again after retreating like this.
The Donghu people sent news of Yaoshan's victory to Liangzhou, Shiwei, and other tribes.
In the good news, it was inevitable to add fuel to the fire and praise the new king's bravery and wisdom.
Donghu people immediately forgot about Wei Lang's massacre of the city, and they spread the word among themselves and regarded him as the God of War.
The hot flashes in Donghu in midsummer are as hot as a cage, and the earth is almost parched.
Wei Lang had put a lot of effort into practicing the method of summoning Yin soldiers. No one could help him, so he had to grit his teeth and hold on. As the emperor of Donghu, you can make mistakes, but you must never fall. Otherwise, who will the people of Donghu rely on
There was awe in the eyes of the Donghu courtiers, but Wei Lang also saw something strange in the eyes of the courtiers, like fear and confusion.
Wei Lang pursed his chapped lips and asked the girl in white in a hoarse voice: "Are you afraid of me?"
When the words came to her lips, the girl in white shook her head.
She paused for a moment, with guilt in her eyes that Wei Lang couldn't see.
"I just want God to have mercy on me and prevent my people in Donghu from suffering again! In the process of recovering Donghu, I killed some people, but was I wrong?"
Wei Lang stood on the city wall of Liangzhou and looked out. The high and low houses were like many fangs. The capital city was like a big mouth, and he stood in the center of this big mouth.
He finally pulled out his sword, the blade was like frost and autumn, with a cold light, "This is the sword left by the master, and it is the only one I have. When Wei Wei died, corpses were everywhere on the grassland, and blood flowed like rivers. I When I heard about it, my heart was as sharp as a knife, and I vowed to make the people of Southern Wei pay the price, but I obviously killed many people of Southern Wei, why am I still so resentful?"
The girl in white smiled and said, "So what if there are millions of corpses lying on the ground and the blood washes the ground. You are not killing the murderer, so naturally you will not be relieved. When you kill all the Jimo family and avenge your master and Si Wei brothers, then you will I won’t hate it anymore.”
"Kill all the Jimo family?" Wei Lang read this sentence and suddenly thought of Ran Ran.
Is he going to kill her? Slit her neck like he slit the throats of soldiers on the battlefield
His hands trembled for a moment.
The girl in white continued, "If you don't want me to bear the domineering power of the people in the world, how can you be the king? Are you going to let the Southern Wei people do whatever they want to the Donghu people? Are you still stationing troops under the noses of the Donghu people?"
Wei Lang took his time and said, "You are right. Maybe I am too kind."
The girl in white looked slightly brighter: "When will you attack Liangzhu?"
Wei Lang is calm and capable these days, and his plans below are all in order. He is not in a hurry to destroy Liangzhu, it is just a matter of one day sooner or later. He is even thinking of waiting for Liangzhou to regain its vitality before starting the war.
The girl in white urged, "The Southern Wei people will not give you a chance to breathe. They will come back soon."
Wei Lang looked at the sword in his hand, "Then I will fight."
"Let me remind you that your good friend, Ji Liyou, has entered the court as an official and is now the lackey of Emperor Jimo."
As if he had expected it, Wei Lang was not surprised.
In the past, when they were still on good terms, Ji Liyou once said that he didn't care about the chaos in the world. It had nothing to do with him, but Wei Lang clearly saw the sadness in his eyes. That day, he stepped on the corpses all over the city and listened to the people in the city. Weeping, maybe you have made up your mind to protect the peace of the world.
Wei Lang was actually a little happy that Ji Liyou made such a decision. He was still Ji Liyou. The former Ji Liyou said he didn't care, but he still cared about the world. The current Ji Liyou clearly didn't like to be an official. , but still entered the officialdom, raising his head and lowering his head, Your Majesty.
"Did you know he was an official?"
Wei Lang said that we will know now.
"Then why aren't you surprised?"
"Because he is Ji Liyou."
"What's the meaning?"
"His grandfather is Ji Fuwei."
