At this time, on the official road in the northeast of Xixia, a small motorcade was also moving in the direction of Xingqing Prefecture. The shape of the carriage was very strange. It was shorter than the carriages commonly seen in the Central Plains and appeared more compact.
The largest flag of the motorcade was written "Goryeo". The other flags had "Cui" and "Jin" written on them.
The commander of the city checked the customs documents and waved his hand to let them go. Looking at their figures leaving, the soldiers at the gate could not help but ask their companions, "Where is Goryeo?"
"How would I know? Does this country even exist in this world?" Another soldier was also confused.
The commander snorted, "What do you know? Goryeo is thousands of miles away in the northeast. It seems to be in the east of the Qing Dynasty."
"Even the crown prince of such a faraway country has come to participate in the marriage contest. Our princess is really charming."
"Of course. It is said that Princess Yinchuan's beauty is unparalleled. It is normal for the princes of other countries to admire her."
"Unfortunately, I don't have the luck to see the princess's real face. But the woman in the Goryeo envoy group is so beautiful. I think she is not much worse than the princess."
"You didn't see her. There is a younger one. She is so beautiful. Her skin is so soft that water can be squeezed out."
"Ahem, they should be sisters. Their temperament is somewhat similar. I think the elder sister is more beautiful."
"Boss, you really know your stuff!"
"I don't think they are biological sisters. They don't look like each other. But they are both beautiful. If I can hug them and sleep, I will wake up laughing even in my dreams."
"You can't sleep if you hug them. If I were you, I would do it to death."
"That makes sense. Heh heh heh ~"
…
In the faraway carriage, a beautiful girl's eyes flashed with a trace of anger. She was about to get up but was gently held down by her companion.
"Senior Sister, you also heard what those bastards said. Let me go and cut off their tongues." The girl's sword was slightly unsheathed. Obviously, she was very angry.
A woman in white sat beside her. She had a dignified and calm face. Her delicate nose separated a pair of charming eyes that seemed to be able to see into the depths of people's souls. "This is the territory of Xixia after all. We are guests from afar. If we kill the soldiers, it will be difficult to clean up."
"But …" The girl beside him was still somewhat indignant.
"These are just the incompetent fantasies of some low-level soldiers. Who do you think you are? Why do you have to lower yourself to their level?" The woman in white's voice was gentle, as if it had a calming power.
"You're right, Senior Sister." The pretty girl finally calmed down.
"Compared to these people's wild imaginations, I'm more worried about Japan. Toyotomi Hideyoshi is about to unify the country. All kinds of information show that he intends to attack Korea." The lady in white was worried. "Based on the Wokou pirates' behavior in the past few years, these Dong Ying people are cruel and licentious. If they really attack Goryeo, I'm afraid we'll really end up like what those soldiers said …" Xin Le Wen
The beautiful girl knew very well what kind of danger her senior and junior sister's appearance would bring, but she was still a little unconvinced. "Japan is separated by the sea after all. Even the powerful Sui and Tang Dynasties failed to conquer our country back then. What's a mere Japan?"
The woman in white shook her head slightly. "Things are different now. Back then, the Sui and Tang Dynasties were tens of thousands of miles away from each other. The logistical pressure was very great. Although Japan is separated by the sea, it's much closer. Moreover, there's shipping, so it's much more convenient for logistical supplies. Also, when facing the attack of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the entire country was united and united. But now, Goryeo … "
"I've always been confused. The powerful Cui family controls the court, and His Majesty can only be his puppet. All the knowledgeable people in the country are indignant. Master is obviously unparalleled in martial arts. Why didn't he kill that b * stard Cui Yu with his sword and let His Majesty take real power?" The pretty girl looked eager to try. It was as if she would go and assassinate a powerful official to rid the emperor of evil if her master asked her to.
"You're thinking too simply. There are many things in this world that can't be solved by martial arts alone," the woman in white explained. "For the past hundred years, several generations of the Cui family have controlled the court. Everyone in the country is their confidant. Their power is deeply rooted. How can it be solved by killing Cui Yu? When the Cui family group counterattacks, we may be able to protect ourselves with martial arts, but how can the people of the royal family survive?"
"But do we just let the Cui family cover the sky with one hand and do nothing?" The beautiful girl was obviously not satisfied with this answer.
"Master hasn't given up all these years. Otherwise, why did the Cui family not dare to usurp the throne even though they control the court?" The woman in white's eyes revealed an expression of admiration. "It's because of Master's strength that the Cui family has scruples and doesn't dare to cross the line. Both sides have a tacit understanding to maintain the current balance."
"Master is magnanimous, but I don't have such a good temper." The beautiful girl tightened her grip on the sword in her hand. "The people with the surname Cui are not good people. His father is a domineering and powerful minister, and his son, Cui Shi, is a b * stard who bullies men and women. When I heard of his deeds in the capital, I thought it was exaggerated. But after this period of contact, he comes to pester us all day. He's worse than him!"
Hearing Cui Shi's name, the girl in white could not help but frown. She looked at the carriage behind from the window, and a trace of disdain flashed in her eyes. "Cui Shi is indeed an annoying playboy, but we have to think positively. If everyone in the Cui family group is like this, then it won't be long before the Cui family is doomed to fail."
"Cui Yu's son-in-law, Jin Ruoxian, is a talent. It's a pity that he married the daughter of the Cui family."
Hearing the melancholy in her tone, the beautiful girl rolled her eyes. "General Jin is indeed a talented man. What's rare is that he's upright. Many girls in the country like him. It's no wonder that you like him."
The woman in white blushed. "What nonsense are you talking about? How can I like him? I just feel that it's even more difficult to bring down the Cui family group with such a person. "
The beautiful girl said with a smile, "I heard that General Jin and his wife don't get along well. This time, he came to Xixia with us. Isn't this a good opportunity? It's lonely to travel thousands of miles away. With your charm, I think you can snatch him over if you show a little kindness."
"Bah, what are you talking about?" The woman in white widened her almond-shaped eyes.
"Don't be angry, Senior Sister. I'm just thinking about the country. Senior Sister, just sacrifice yourself. What's more, General Jin is a talented man. You won't suffer a loss." The beautiful girl had a mischievous look on her face, and her eyes curved into crescent moons.
"Then why don't you go and sacrifice yourself? You said that he's a good man. Why don't you go by yourself?" The two girls soon got into a quarrel.
"I don't want to. My lover must be the kind of great hero who is handsome and unrestrained. Moreover, he's capable of stabilizing the country with his literary skills and stabilizing the country with his martial skills. Although General Jin is good, he's still not as good as I've imagined."
"Little girl, you only know how to daydream. How can there be such a man in this world?"
"Humph, maybe we'll meet him in the Central Plains this time."
…
In the carriage at the back, a man in luxurious clothes but with a wretched appearance heard the faint bell-like laughter in front of him. He couldn't help but scold, "These two hoofs, laughing so wantonly. Are they trying to seduce me?" Obviously, he was the Cui Shi that the sisters were talking about.
A man with a calm and resolute face said with a wry smile, "Young Master, they're the disciples of the Brilliant Sword Master, Fu Cailin. Their status is aloof. I'm afraid we can't use force."
