"Li Mu of the Western Qin," said Zhao Ji.
Lord Virtuous the Eighth was stunned. "Li Mu? The Western Qin … "
The next moment, he suddenly came to his senses and said, "Lord Taibai of the Western Qin? That Li Mu? "
Zhao Ji nodded.
Lord Virtuous the Eighth gasped and said incredulously, "The reinforcement you asked for is him? But … how did you get him? "
Lord Taibai of the Western Qin, Li Mu, was a famous figure.
Back then, when Huang Shengyi was captured in Taibai County, the news shocked the world. Soon, the whole world learned that the Western Qin had a teenage Sage-to-be who was less than 16 years old. All the empires were eager to recruit the enchanting young man. For that reason, the Northern Song also sent an envoy, Zhao Ji.
"Could it be …"
Lord Virtuous the Eighth looked at Zhao Ji.
"Could it be that Zhao Ji established a deep friendship with Lord Taibai at that time?"
"Zhao Ji is really a talent. How can he have such interpersonal skills?"
Lord Virtuous the Eighth suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. A year ago, Li Mu captured Huang Shengyi, the Fire Devil, when he was still a Sage-to-be. But now, even Yingshan Snow-eagle, the Emperor's Broadsword, was killed by Li Mu. No matter what, Li Mu was now a figure who could kill a Sage.
How many people in the world could be like him?
At least in the Northern Song, no one could match him. He was definitely powerful enough to deal with Lord Jin.
However, to Lord Virtuous the Eighth's surprise, Zhao Ji said with a wry smile, "It's not because of me. It's because Your Honor and Countess Li are old friends. He came for Your Honor."
Lord Virtuous the Eighth was stunned again.
It suddenly occurred to him that when he was in Lin 'an City, there had been many noblemen, marquises, and young talents who had come to the prince's mansion through various connections, hoping to marry his adopted daughter. Among them, there was no lack of real geniuses. However, all of them were rejected by his adopted daughter.
"The man I love is a hero. One day, he will come to marry me in a golden robe, stepping on colorful auspicious clouds. I've guessed the beginning and the end …"
He recalled what his adopted daughter had said to him when she rejected all the suitors who wanted to marry her.
That sentence had been spread in Lin 'an, the capital of the Song Dynasty, and became a joke.
Unparalleled hero?
Many members of the royal family laughed at Queen Shiyu's daydreams, saying that she was actually an uneducated country girl who indulged in flights of fancy. Lord Virtuous the Eighth didn't care too much about it. He thought that his adopted daughter's mind was more unrestrained. Perhaps it was some whimsical vision. After all, every girl had such a yearning. Who didn't want the person sleeping next to them to be a hero?
But now …
"Could it be that the hero Yu 'er has been talking about is Li Mu?"
Lord Virtuous the Eighth guessed in shock.
If it was really Li Mu, then he was totally worthy of the title of "Peerless Hero".
However, as far as Lord Virtuous the Eighth knew, Li Mu already had a sweetheart. Back then, the Beauty Poem and the Watching Hua Xiangrong Dance Alone Under the Moonlight: When Will the Moon Appear? could be said to have spread all over the world. And the fact that Li Mu admired Hua Xiangrong also became a popular topic, which was praised together with the two poems. "Is Yu 'er going to intervene in the relationship between Li Mu and Hua Xiangrong?"
All of a sudden, Lord Virtuous the Eighth was a little worried.
How pitiful parents are!
…
…
"Your sweetheart is a peerless hero. One day, he will wear a suit of golden armor and ride on colorful auspicious clouds to marry you? Hahaha, Zhao Shiyu, do you still think so naively now? Where is the one you love, the one who is supposed to be the hero? Why didn't he come to save you? "
In the central tent of the main camp of the Glory Army, the army under the direct command of Lord Jin, a young woman with delicate features but a slightly mean demeanor stood in front of Wang Shiyu, who was tied to a wooden pole, and let out a mocking laugh.
Beside her, a dozen or so noble young women also roared with laughter.
"Hee hee, Princess Crescent, this country bumpkin can't make a comeback anymore. Why do you have to hurt her?"
"Alas, yeah. She obviously doesn't want to, but she still pretends to sacrifice herself for others. Who does she think she is? A savior? Hee hee, it's really disgusting. "
"I heard that Lord Jin's internal guards found a soft sword called 'Green Snake' on her. It's said that even a child can hurt a master with it. Now it's clear what this country bumpkin is up to."
"You think you're so smart that you replaced your hairpins with sharp weapons. But what's the use of that? Lord Jin knows what you're thinking as soon as he sees it. Country bumpkin, after all, she's just a country bumpkin. How dare she try to assassinate Lord Jin? "
The dozen or so women all ridiculed Wang Shiyu, who was tied to the pole.
They were wearing luxurious dresses and delicate makeup. They all smiled without showing their teeth, adhering to the so-called noble etiquette. However, their words were all malicious.
They were all daughters of nobles, born in noble families. They could be regarded as socialites in the noble circle of the Northern Song. They belonged to the same circle as Princess Crescent, the 38th daughter of Emperor Song.
In the old days in Lin 'an, Princess Crescent had many conflicts with Countess Huanzhu, Wang Shiyu. But she was defeated, and she was disgraced. Now, the Eight Lords were in chaos, and Lord Jin was rebelling. Princess Crescent's husband was Lord Jin's trusted general. And the other women in the circle were basically the family members of Lord Jin's noble family.
Princess Xin Yue smiled. Her face was full of sarcasm as she said, "Back then, I don't know who was the one who held her head high in Lin 'an. Even my father was impressed by you and scolded us sisters as pitiful, vain, and soulless women. Haha, what about now? You're just like a lowly maidservant, tied to a pillar, waiting to be sent to Prince Jin's bed. You're just a tool to be used, not to mention that Prince Jin will really love you … Life is full of ups and downs. Now even my father can't protect you, and your old foster father, Lord Virtuous the Eighth, can't even protect himself … Song Shiyu, you didn't expect to end up like this, did you? "
Today, Lord Jin held his wedding to announce to the world that he had won Countess Huanzhu. So, Princess Crescent brought her former sisters to the army just to taunt her former nemesis and enjoy the pleasure.
Wang Shiyu was tied to the wooden pole in the middle of the tent, unable to move.
The situation was worse than she had imagined.
Because as soon as he arrived at the central camp of the Glory Army, before he could even see Lord Jin's face, a female soldier came to search him. His soft sword, the Green Snake, and the golden hairpin were all taken away. Some of his clothes were also taken away, and he was forced to put on a wedding dress. Then, his freedom was restricted and he was tied to a wooden pole …
"As expected, I've underestimated things."
Wang Shiyu heaved a sigh inwardly.
Looking at Princess Crescent and the others in front of her, she basically ignored them.
They were a bunch of vulgar women. They only had faces but no soul. Their lives were just a waste of air.
It was a waste of time to bicker with such a sad woman.
She remembered that when she was on Earth, Li Mu used to advise her not to argue with those pestering people at school. What did he say to her again? "Oh, yes, never argue with an idiot, because he will drag your IQ down to his level and beat you with his rich experience."
That was a good way to put it.
In Wang Shiyu's eyes, Princess Crescent and the other women were all self-righteous idiots.
She did not despair at all.
It was true.
She still had some tricks up her sleeve.
Besides, it was not the last moment yet.
Moreover, the most important thing was that she knew that that person was about to arrive.
Although dozens of days had passed, and there was no news about that man, she was very sure that he would come.
That was her faith.
There was no reason for it, but it was that firm.
Seeing that Wang Shiyu didn't show any remorse, fear, or anger, Princess Crescent and her companions couldn't help but feel a little bored.
They had come in the name of the wedding to watch the show. They wanted to see Princess Huanzhu, Song Shiyu's confident and beautiful face, to show a look of regret and begging for mercy. Only then would it be interesting.
Princess Crescent unsheathed a sharp dagger from her waist and gestured at Wang Shiyu's face. Then, she said gloomily, "If it weren't for the fact that Brother Jin is going to hold a wedding ceremony with you, I would really want to disfigure your femme fatale face …"
Wang Shiyu stared at her and sneered. "Don't say things you don't dare to do. Otherwise, it will only make you look stupid."
"You …" Princess Crescent was exasperated. Then, rolling her eyes, she sneered and said, "You have a sharp tongue. Hee, hee, but I still have a way to deal with you … Hee, tell me, you're wearing so many clothes. How are you going to please my Brother Jin when you climb into his bed? How about I help you change into something else … Sisters, let's strip this little bitch … "
Driven by shame, anger, and extreme humiliation, a group of elegant noble ladies rushed forward and tore off Wang Shiyu's clothes like lunatics.
Wang Shiyu curled her lips.
"Idiots."
"This is also a trick."
"When I lived on campus in junior high school, I once took off all my clothes in the girls' public baths twice a week. No matter how fierce you are, you are still a group of women. How can that scare me?"
…
"Your Highness, the auspicious hour is coming. Haha, the wedding is about to begin."
"Congratulations, Your Highness. Congratulations, Your Highness."
"I've heard that Countess Huanzhu is a wild horse and the most beautiful woman in Lin 'an. Haha, Your Highness, you're really lucky with women. You've been taken by the heavens."
In the commander-in-chief's tent, the generals of the Glory Army were congratulating Lord Jin.
Prince Jin looked like he was only in his thirties. He was slightly fat and not tall, but his eyes were big and spirited, like a tiger looking at an eagle. His skin was white, his bones were broad, and he had a thick beard. His body carried 40% noble and 70% murderous aura. His temperament was extraordinary. Under the contrast of his armor, he made people's hearts palpitate. He had the disposition of a master.
"Haha, she's just a woman. It's her luck that I've taken a fancy to her. What's more, I just value her identity. Generals, don't forget our big plan. Don't slack off. When we conquer Lin 'an, all of you will be meritorious subjects. By then, you can have any woman you want."
Lord Jin said flatly.
In his mind, he did not have any special feelings for Wang Shiyu.
No matter how beautiful a woman was, she was just a woman.
In his eyes, women were all tools. They were used to bear children, to build power, to win people's hearts, or to vent his lust … After all, the world must be conquered by men. As long as he had Countess Huanzhu in his hand, he could not only get a title, but also use Lord Virtuous the Eighth to speak for him. In the future, when he took over the country, he could give this woman to any general. He did not care.
Soon, the auspicious hour arrived.
Lord Jin's wedding ceremony began.
Although it was a little rushed, the whole ceremony was very solemn. Because Lord Jin had already begun to prepare for the wedding when the soldiers were trapped in the bull's head. In essence, it was more like a political show, a show of muscle power. The political significance was greater than the substantive significance. Therefore, some important guests that could be invited had already arrived, including some governors, officials, nobles, and experts from some sects, clans, and factions … Including several Celestial Beings and two Semi-Sages from Mount Qingcheng, the Holy Clan of the Northern Song.
It could be said that the scale of the wedding was huge.
