The sound of swallowing saliva came from his side, Song Qingshu turned his head and saw Wei Xiaobao was also staring dumbstruck at Ah Ke's back, his hands rubbing back and forth, as if he wanted to reach out and touch her, but he was worried about personal gain and loss, he did not dare to be rude to this beautiful woman.
Song Qingshu was somewhat displeased; he thought that if Wei Xiaobao really wanted to touch her, he would stop him no matter what. The young girl in front of him looked like a person made of pink jade, a man's innate possessiveness made Song Qingshu subconsciously not want her to be taken advantage of by other men.
Not long after, Ah Ke's figure suddenly moved, as if the two of them were scalded, they simultaneously straightened their backs and sat upright.
Ah Ke was not aware of the filthy behavior of the two men behind her; after seeing Princess Jianning's appearance clearly, she turned around and left with satisfaction.
Song Qingshu and Wei Xiaobao looked at each other and followed her, "I wonder how Junzhu feels after seeing her?"
"So-so," Ah Ke's lips revealed a trace of a smile, "Although she is a bit lacking compared to this Miss, she can still be considered a beauty, Gege shouldn't dislike her."
Wei Xiaobao was listening on the side, his anger was burning, his heart was determined, "Laozi is not only your Gege's brother-in-law, I also want to be his brother-in-law."
Song Qingshu was about to say something, but suddenly his expression tightened; he stared at the darkness and said, "Sire secretly trespassing the Princess' main camp, do you know it is a crime punishable by execution of nine generations?" Finished speaking, he flipped his palm and launched the Twin Dragons Absorbing Water, forcibly sucking the person in the underbrush out.
The person turned pale with fright, obviously he did not expect Song Qingshu's martial art skill to be this high; he had no choice but to thrust his saber into the ground, desperately resisting the suction force from the opponent's palm.
"Yang Dage?" Wei Xiaobao saw the person clearly and quickly said, "Song Dage, we are all on the same side, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."
Doubtfully, Song QingShu loosened his grip. The man finally caught his breath. He secretly wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and cupped his fist. "I have long heard that recently an outstanding young martial art master has appeared in the imperial court. Now that I have seen him today, he truly lives up to his reputation. Ping Xi Wang's Zongbing Yang Yizhi pays respect to Wei Jueye, General Song. "
Song Qingshu suddenly realized that it was of Yang Yizhi, who had a good relationship with Wei Xiaobao. In the original work, because of this relationship between him and Wei Xiaobao, after Wu Sangui decided to rebel, he was worried that Yang Yizhi would secretly communicate with him, so he turned him into a human stick. Poor Yang Yizhi was loyal and devoted to Wu Sangui, but in the end, he ended up like this.
When Ah Ke on the side saw him, her expression greatly changed. She stealthily turned around, wanting to slip away. Yang Yizhi opened his mouth to call out to her, "Junzhu, please wait. This lowly official has received Ping Xi Wangye's imperial edict, I must use all means to invite Junzhu back to the Wangfu. If I have offended you, I hope Junzhu will forgive me."
"Of of and and Yang, of King and and Of Of Ke and and Yang of Of Xiao and. Of of of Of Of Of Of, Yang said and and Of Of of Wang of Yang of Gu. and Yang, Yang Yang Qing of of Of of and
Taking Ah Ke back to the Mansion, Yang Yizhi hastily chimed in.
Ah Ke looked at him in surprise; for the first time tonight, she felt that Wei Xiaobao was not that annoying. Being stared at by her beautiful eyes, half of Wei Xiaobao's body immediately went limp.
Yang Yizhi was well aware of the reason why Junzhu left home, but he could not explain the reason to Wei Xiaobao. Without any better option, he turned to Ah Ke and said, "Junzhu, that man has come here personally, you can go and take a look. Wangye has spoken, if Junzhu is not satisfied, he will not force you."
"Is what you said true?" Ah Ke showed a doubtful expression.
"Of course it is true, how can lowly official dare to deceive Junzhu?" Yang Yizhi replied with a respectful expression. Standing on the side, Wei Xiaobao was completely baffled listening to their conversation in riddles. Because Song Qingshu had just learned from Ah Ke that Wu Sangui was against marrying her to Prince Bao's Heir Apparent, Fu Kangan, he was able to understand with difficulty. He could not help but his expression turned grave, "Fu Kangan also came to Shanhai Pass?
"But just now you clearly said that you would use any means to take me back," Ah Ke was obviously somewhat moved, but she said with some worry, "How do I know that you are not trying to trick me to go back, and deliberately said that?"
Yang Yizhi forced a smile and said, "Even if lowly official has the guts as big as the sky, I still would not dare to falsely pass on Wangye's intention."
"That's true." Ah Ke nodded, finally believing him. Ping Xi Wang had always been very strict, if Yang Yizhi dared to borrow Wangye's name to speak irresponsibly, even if he captured Ah Ke and brought her back, as long as Ah Ke talked about it afterward, Yang Yizhi would receive a very severe punishment.
"Very well, I will go back with you to take a look first." Finished speaking, Ah Ke did not look at Song Qingshu and Wei Xiaobao, two people, as she directly turned around and walked toward Shanhai Pass. Yang Yizhi promptly bid farewell to the two people and chased after her.
Different from Wei Xiaobao, who looked at Ah Ke's departing figure with a dazed expression, Song Qingshu was secretly angry in his heart. He knew that Ah Ke was accustomed to being a golden branch and jade leaf since childhood. Even if he and Wei Xiaobao's ability was greater, even if his and Wei Xiaobao's official position was higher, in her heart, they were nothing more than slaves, how could she put them in her eyes?
"Is a Wangye that amazing?" Song Qingshu sneered and turned around to leave. This time he was at a loss, his heart was suddenly filled with motivation.
The next day, the wedding procession had already made all kinds of preparations early in the morning. They only heard the sound of a bugle horn from the direction of Shanhai Pass, an officer came forward to report: "Ping Xi Wang is here to welcome the Princess' luan carriage."
Song Qingshu and Wei Xiaobao galloped their horses forward. They saw a group of soldiers with bright armor, riding tall horses, galloping in front of them. They dismounted their horses and lined up on both sides. The leader went straight to the front of the Princess' carriage, kowtowed and said: "Servant Ping Xi Wang Wu Sangui pays respect to Her Royal Highness Princess Jianning."
On the side, Song Qingshu carefully looked at Wu Sangui; he saw his stature was imposing, his face was purple, his hair and beard were more white than black. Although he was old, his gait was still vigorous, his gait was high and vigorous, his gait was arrogant. Song Qingshu's heart skipped a beat: this Wu Sangui's glabella was purple, he looked somewhat similar to Yue Buqun who practiced the 'Zi Xia Shen Gong'.
When he was done kowtowing, Wei Xiaobao, as the marriage envoy, suddenly spoke.
Hastily he said, "Ping Xi Qin Wang need not stand on ceremony." Wu Sangui stood up and walked toward the two of them. He said with a laugh, "Is this Wei Jue Ye who bravely captured Oboi, whose name is known throughout the world? Then this must be Lord Song who defeated all the heroes on Mount Tai. "
Wu Sangui came from a military background, with one glance he could see that Wei Xiaobao did not even have the strength to truss a chicken. What he said just now was no more than a gimmick commonly used in the officialdom. On the contrary, according to Yang Yizhi's report the previous night, he knew that Song Qingshu's martial art skill was unfathomable. He thought that if he could not be of use to him in the future, he must think of a way to get rid of him.
Song Qingshu and Wei Xiaobao hastily paid their respect. "We do not dare," they said, "Pay our respect to Wangye." Wu Sangui laughed aloud; one on the left, one on the right, he shook the two men's hands. "The two of you are benevolent and righteous," he said, "Xiao Wang has long heard of your illustrious reputation, please dispense with these superficial courtesies and conventions. Henceforth Xiao Wang, father and son, will depend on the two of you. If you do not abandon us, we will treat you as our own family. "
Song Qingshu felt nauseous in his heart. Looking at Wei Xiaobao's beaming face, as well as Wu Sangui flattering each other, he could not help but sigh at his own shamelessness. Compared to these two men, he was not even worth mentioning. Chapter 133: Marriage Envoy and Marriage Proposal Envoy
The three of them walked side by side, clearing the way in front, guiding the Princess into the city. When the common people of Shanhai Pass heard that the Princess was going to marry Ping Xi Wang's Heir Apparent, The streets were already packed with people like mountains and seas, competing to see the excitement. The city was decorated with lanterns and ribbons, everywhere there were decorated archways and happy banquets. Along the way, the sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers shook the sky.
Song Qingshu, on the other hand, was carefully observing the terrain along the way; he silently estimated that the city wall was about fifteen meters high, and its thickness was estimated to be seven, eight meters. It was indeed worthy of being called the world's most impregnable pass. Together with the hundred thousand troops under Wu Sangui's command, no wonder he was able to stand on equal footing with Kangxi and Hongli, the three legs of a tripod.
After Wu Sangui received the news that the Princess was going to marry, he carried out a large scale construction project, he built Anfu Garden, with lofty buildings and pavilions, displaying the magnificence of gardens and pavilions. Wu Sangui, father and son, led the Princess to Anfu Garden to rest. After greeting the Princess through the curtain, they accompanied Song Qingshu and Wei Xiaobao to Ping Xi Wang Mansion.
Ping Xi Wang Mansion's magnificent pavilions and carved walls, red pavilions and jade-green ponds; it was not much different from the inner courtyard of the Imperial Palace. A sumptuous banquet had already been prepared in the hall, all the civil and military officials under Ping Xi Wang's command had come to accompany them. Naturally the Imperial Envoy Minister Wei Xiaobao sat at the head of the table, Song Qingshu and Wu Sangui sat on his left and right respectively.
Wei Xiaobao swept his gaze around, but did not see Ah Ke's silhouette; unavoidably he was disappointed, but he also understood that it was impossible for the womenfolk of the mansion to come out to greet him, the Imperial Envoy Minister.
He handed the Imperial Edict to Song Qingshu on his side, signaling him to read it aloud. Seeing Song Qingshu's doubtful face, he hastily said in a low voice, "Song Dage, this thing recognizes me, I do not recognize it. You also know that I am illiterate …"
Song Qingshu revealed an understanding smile. Holding the Imperial Edict in both hands, he read it aloud to everybody present. Nowadays his internal energy was profound, his voice was clear and bright, full of energy, one sentence after another traveled far. In the hall, Wu Sangui, father and son, as well as all the civil and military officials knelt down, listening in absolute silence.
The Imperial Edict commended Ping Xi Wang for his high merit, for his great service, for his diligence in managing the imperial affairs, for guarding the border, for suppressing the barbarians. All the officers and soldiers under his command, all of them had made great contributions, were promoted one rank, and rewarded accordingly. When he finished reading the Imperial Edict, Wu Sangui kowtowed to the south and called out, "Deferentially thank Your Majesty's grace, long live Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty!" All the civil and military officials also called out together, "Deferentially thank Your Majesty's grace, long live Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty!"
They sat down again. After drinking three rounds of wine, Wu Sangui discussed the Princess' auspicious date with Wei Xiaobao, "The fourth of the next month is the ecliptic auspicious day, the wedding is a happy occasion, great luck and great profit. Wei Jueye, what do you think of this day? "
Wei Xiaobao knitted his brows, he was very unhappy; he thought, "As soon as the Princess is married to Wu Yingxiong, I can't be the fake son-in-law anymore." He said, "Don't you think this is a bit too rushed? The Princess marrying a lowly person is not a small matter. Wangye, you must prepare everything thoroughly. To tell you the truth, this Princess is very favored by the Empress Dowager and His Majesty. If there is any carelessness, it will be very convenient for us as servants. "
Listening to him talking nonsense, Song Qingshu picked up his wine cup to block the smile on the corner of his lips; he laughed in his heart, "If it were before, it would not be a problem, but now that Jianning's identity as Mao Dongzhu's vile spawn has been exposed, Kangxi and the Empress Dowager are even eager for her to die, how can there be any favor left?"
Wu Sangui shivered; he thought, "You are the one who bestows marriage and proposes marriage."
The three of them walked side by side, clearing the way in front, guiding the Princess into the city. The common people of Shanhai Pass heard that the Princess was going to marry Ping Xi Wang's Heir Apparent. The streets were already packed with people like mountains and seas, competing to see the excitement. The city was decorated with lanterns and colored streamers, everywhere were decorated with decorated archways and happy banquets. Along the way, the sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers shook the sky.

All the officers and soldiers under his command had made great contributions, each of them was promoted one rank, and rewarded accordingly. When he finished reading the imperial edict, Wu Sangui kowtowed to the south and called out, "Deferentially thank Your Majesty's grace, long live Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty!" All the civil and military officials also called out together, "Deferentially thank Your Majesty's grace, long live Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty!"
They sat down again. After drinking three rounds of wine, Wu Sangui discussed the Princess' auspicious date with Wei Xiaobao, "The fourth of the next month is the ecliptic auspicious day, the wedding is a happy occasion, great luck and great profit. Wei Jueye, what do you think of this day? "
Wei Xiaobao knitted his brows, he was very unhappy; he thought, "As soon as the Princess is married to Wu Yingxiong, I can't be the fake son-in-law anymore." He said, "Don't you think this is a bit too rushed? The Princess marrying a lowly person is not a small matter; Wangye, you must prepare everything thoroughly. To tell you the truth, this Princess is very favored by the Empress Dowager and His Majesty. If there is any carelessness, it will be very convenient for us as servants. "
Listening to him talking nonsense, Song Qingshu picked up his wine cup to block the smile on the corner of his lips; he laughed in his heart, "If it were before, it would not be a problem, but now that Jianning's identity as Mao Dongzhu's vile spawn has been exposed, Kangxi and the Empress Dowager are even eager for her to die, how can there be any favor left?"
