Volume 10, Chapter 835
Chapter 835
"Rou'er?" Huangfu Xiutai looked at Tang Yin's latest chapter in confusion.
Tang Yin said: "My princess."
"Oh!" Huangfu Xiutai responded, and he breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Banxue has not become the woman of King Feng, everything is fine. But on second thought, he raised his eyebrows again and asked: "You let Banxue be a maid to serve your princess?"
"What else can she do?" Tang Yin asked with a smile: "Be my concubine?"
Huangfu Xiutai was speechless and remained silent. After holding it in for a long time, he said in a deep voice: "When I come back from Chuanguo, I will take her away!"
Tang Yin shrugged and said without comment: "If she wants to."
Huangfu Xiutai glared at him fiercely, said nothing more, stood up, and strode out.
"Mr. Huangfu, won't you stay for a while?" Tang Yin asked with a smile.
"If we don't agree, it's useless to say more." Huangfu Xiutai left the tent without looking back.
Jin Xuan frowned, then smiled at Tang Yin and said, "My senior brother is just like this, don't be surprised, Your Highness Feng Wang."
Tang Yin smiled indifferently, waved his hand and said, "No." After a pause, he said thoughtfully, "It seems that Mr. Huangfu really loves Miss Banxue very much!"
Jin Xuan nodded and sighed, "Maybe!"
To make a long story short, a few days later, Tang Yin's ceremonial team passed through Chuankou County and arrived at Guankou City. Going forward, it was the territory of Chuan State.
Feng State has stationed heavy troops in Guankou City. The Sanshui Army and the New Army are here, with a total of more than 200,000 troops. Tang Yin did not intend to go into the city to rest. After arriving at Guankou City, he ordered the ceremonial team to bypass the city and go directly to Chuan.
Just when the ceremonial team was about to pass Guankou City, the soldiers in front suddenly stopped. Not knowing what happened, Tang Yin walked out of the carriage and looked forward. Well, all the soldiers blocking the ceremonial team were from the Sanshui Army and the New Army.
I didn't want to alarm them, but they still came out of the city. Tang Yin sighed, asked Ah San to lead a horse, and then rode to the front of the team.
When he arrived in front of the team, Tang Yin took a closer look and saw Liang Qi, the commander of the Sanshui Army, and Liu Zhang, the commander of the new army.
Tang Yin smiled and urged his horse forward two steps. Seeing him, Liang Qi, Liu Zhang and others dismounted and saluted, saying in unison: "This general greets the king!"
"No need to be polite, all get up!" Tang Yin waved to them on the horse, and then his eyes fell on Liu Zhang, calling his nickname and asked with a smile: "Zhang San, how is your injury recovering?"
Liu Zhang hurriedly replied: "Thank you for your concern, my injury has healed for the most part."
"That's good!" Tang Yin nodded with a smile, and then said to Liang Qi: "Take the brothers back quickly, I'm just passing by here, there's no need to mobilize so many troops."
Liang Qi and Liu Zhang looked at each other, and no one spoke. Tang Yin was about to turn his horse back, but he saw that the two of them were standing there without moving. He was puzzled and asked, "Why are you still standing here? Go back!"
"My king..." Liang Qi cupped his hands, looking like he wanted to say something but stopped.
"Just say whatever you want to say, don't hesitate." Tang Yin said dissatisfiedly.
Liang Qi took a deep breath, made up his mind, and said seriously, "The day before yesterday, I just received a letter from Prime Minister Qiu. Prime Minister Qiu ordered me to stop the king's procession if I saw it, so I..."
Hearing this, Tang Yin immediately widened his eyes. He first looked at Liang Qi, then at Liu Zhang, and then he suddenly realized and said with a long "oh", "I know, it turns out that you are not here to greet me, but to block my way!"
"I dare not!" Liang Qi and Liu Zhang said in unison.
"What do you mean you don't dare? Aren't you already doing it now?" Tang Yin snorted and laughed, his tone also became heavy, and he said coldly: "Get out of the way!"
"Your Majesty, Chuanguo invited you to Zhaoyang this time with ulterior motives and unclear intentions. Your Majesty must not be fooled by Chuanguo!" Liang Qi said anxiously.
Liu Zhang also hurriedly followed: "Yes, Your Majesty, our country is at war with Chuanguo, how can Your Majesty go to the capital of Chuanguo? Isn't this a trap? I hope Your Majesty will think twice!"
"This time Chuanguo secretly assisted Guankou City and wanted to take it for itself, but it was eventually discovered by our army. If Your Majesty goes to Zhaoyang, the Chuanguo court will definitely take this bad breath out on Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty is related to the life and death of our country, I hope Your Majesty can put the overall situation first!"
Listening to the two of them talking to each other, as if his trip to Chuanguo this time would be dangerous and he would definitely die, Tang Yin felt quite amused. After they finished talking, he tapped his forehead gently and said, "I'm not a fool. If I'm not sure, why would I take the risk?! Well, I understand your intentions, and I know my limits. You, take your brothers back quickly."
"My king..."
Seeing that they were still unwilling to leave, Tang Yin narrowed his eyes, stared at them, and asked, "What? Do you dare to disobey orders?"
"I dare not!" Liang Qi and Liu Zhang bowed their heads hurriedly.
"Since you dare not, then get out of the way!" Tang Yin raised the whip in his hand, turned his horse's head and looked back.
"My king?"
"If you dare to disobey orders again, you will be punished by military law!" Tang Yin turned his head and glared at them again, shouting in a deep voice.
Liang Qi and Liu Zhang were helpless. They looked at each other and could only lead their men to retreat to the sides. The task that Qiu Zhen gave them was impossible to complete. If the king insisted on going to Chuan, they could not stop him, and the court could not stop him either. No one could do anything.
Tang Yin forcibly drove away the Sanshui Army and the New Army who blocked the ceremonial guard, and then continued to move forward. Soon, the ceremonial guard arrived at the border between Fengchuan and Chuan.
The envoys sent by the Chuan court to welcome Tang Yin had already arrived at the Chuan Army camp stationed at the border. When Tang Yin's ceremonial guard arrived here, the Chuan Army had already lined up to welcome him.
The envoy who was responsible for welcoming Tang Yin this time was not ordinary in Chuan. He was Xiao Wei, the Marquis of Yanmen in Chuan, and also Xiao Xuan's cousin. Even Jin Zhuo had to be polite in front of him and did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.
The ceremonial guard of King Feng slowly stopped in front of the Chuan Army camp. Then, Tang Yin, surrounded by many entourages, walked out of the ceremonial guard. Xiao Wei had never seen Tang Yin, but Jin Zhuo was very familiar with him.
Seeing Tang Yin, Jin Zhuo's body was shocked, and he whispered to Xiao Wei beside him: "Marquis, the man in the crowd wearing black clothes and black cloak is the King of Wind."
"Yes!" Xiao Wei nodded and responded, then walked forward with a smile. When he came close to Tang Yin, he bowed and said: "Xiao Wei, the Marquis of Yanmen, Sichuan, has been waiting for the King of Wind for a long time."
"Oh, it turns out to be Marquis Xiao, no need to be polite." Tang Yin smiled and waved his hand. The other party is a marquis, and his surname is Xiao, so he must be related to Xiao Xuan.
"I have heard of His Highness the King of Wind for a long time. I am lucky to be able to witness His Highness the King of Wind today." Xiao Wei was very polite. Although he was not old, he did not have the arrogance of a royal child.
He said with a smile: "Your Highness Feng Wang has worked hard all the way, let's go to the camp to rest first!"
Tang Yin said: "Forget about going to the camp to rest, I want to get to Zhaoyang earlier."
Xiao Wei thought about it, nodded and said: "Okay! I'm just afraid that Your Highness Feng Wang will be tired."
"No problem." Tang Yin turned his head and looked at Jin Zhuo again, and smiled: "General Jin, we meet again."
Jin Zhuo laughed dryly and took two steps forward, bowed and said: "Hello, Your Highness Feng Wang!"
Tang Yin looked around and asked casually: "How is General Jin living here?"
Jin Zhuo didn't quite understand what he meant by asking this, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Not bad."
"Stationed in the wilderness, I'm afraid it's not good to come here." Tang Yin looked at him and smiled: "But I think General Jin won't be able to live here for long." As he said that, he turned and went back to his carriage.
Jin Zhuo looked at Tang Yin's back and didn't come back to his senses for a long time. What did he mean by this? Could it be that Feng Wang went to Zhaoyang to negotiate peace between the two countries?
Thinking of this, he hurriedly turned his head to look at Xiao Wei, who shrugged at him, indicating that he didn't understand what Tang Yin meant.
In fact, he didn't know why Tang Yin wanted to visit Chuan this time, and Xiao Xuan didn't explain it to him. He just asked him to pick up Tang Yin and took him back to the capital, and told him to take good care of King Feng along the way.
Tang Yin didn't stay long at the Fengchuan border. He took a carriage and went directly into Chuan.
He didn't bring many people, only about 5,000, but Xiao Wei brought a lot of Chuan troops, adding up to 50,000 people, and they were all elite troops of the Central Army of Chuan.
Xiao Wei thought that it was an easy job to pick up Tang Yin to Zhaoyang, but things were far from as simple as he imagined.
Before leaving Bianyang County of Chuan, just after passing the county town, an unexpected change occurred. A legion of 100,000 people stopped their team. This legion was the Hong Family Army, one of the Chuan clan armies.
Upon hearing the news, Xiao Wei was shocked and angry. He rushed to the front of the team as soon as possible. Looking at the huge crowd of Hong family soldiers on the opposite side, he gritted his teeth secretly, turned his head and said to the generals around him: "Send someone to the opposite side to ask what's going on. Why are the Hong family soldiers not in Changgu County and running to Bianyang County?"
"Yes! Marquis!" Youchuan General agreed and was about to urge his horse to the opposite side. Unexpectedly, a group of people came out from the Hong family army on the opposite side. The leader was wearing a silver helmet and silver armor, lined with a red robe, and a red cloak on his back. He sat on the horse, majestic and imposing.
"Is the one on the opposite side the Marquis of Yanmen?" The Sichuan general looked at Xiao Wei and asked loudly.
Xiao Wei was startled and looked carefully. Oh, isn't this the Bloody Marquis Hong Yuetian? Why did he also run to Bianyang County? These local lords do not listen to the dispatch of the court, which is simply lawless.
He was upset, but he didn't show it on his face. He urged his horse forward a few steps, smiled and said, "I was wondering who it was. It turned out to be the Blood Robe Marquis. Excuse me, why did the Blood Robe Marquis come to Bianyang County when he was not in Changgu County?"
"What?" The Sichuan general laughed and said loudly, "Of course, I came to eliminate the Tang thieves!"
