After Xu Xiao, Gu Jiantang, and a few other vassals toppled the ten great clans of the Spring and Autumn Period, the Liyang Dynasty vaguely formed three major clans. Gangnam-do was one of them. After the Liyang Dynasty destroyed the Eight Kingdoms, it ordered a portion of the clans of the Eight Kingdoms to move to the capital and form another group through marriage. There were also some clans who took the initiative to move north in the past 20 years. During the reign of Hong Jia, it was the most frequent. There were no less than 300,000 people. Thus, it was called the Gangnam-do Northward Migration. Most of them chose Gangnam-do, which was rich and far from the capital. This undoubtedly strengthened the strength of the Four Clans of Yangzhou. Under the influence of the current master, Lu Daolin, the number of talents the Lu Clan absorbed was second only to the Yu Clan. Naturally, the Lu Clan had its own pride and confidence. If the guy who dared to stab a general of Qingzhou to death in front of Zhao Heng was here, there would be nothing to see in this undercurrent. Without a doubt, he would lead these brave and fearless White Horse soldiers to crush them. But since he went to Jiangxin County, it would be interesting. If the Huting County government had a powerful general who did not fear the Beiliang army, it would be even more lively and interesting.
Thinking of this, Princess Pei finally revealed a long-lost smile.
Jiang Ni, who was sitting in the same carriage, was dazed. This sister was really beautiful.
The old God of Swords, Li Chungang, lazily leaned against the carriage door and dozed off. He had made up his mind not to get involved in such family matters.
At some point, Yu Youwei stepped out of the carriage. Holding the white cat, Wu Meiniang, she stood at the bottom of the steps. She looked at the second housekeeper who had pretended to be someone else and said calmly, "Open the middle gate."
Lu Dongyang sneered and pointed at the sign.
Yu Youwei turned her head to Yuan Meng sitting on a warhorse and said calmly, "Field Officer Yuan, the Lu Clan of Huting County treated us with respect. Of course, we have to return the favor."
Yuan Meng was puzzled. First of all, he was not clear about the relationship between His Highness and this beautiful courtesan. Since she was qualified to accompany His Highness out of Beiliang, she could not be too bad. Only an idiot would treat her as a famous courtesan. Secondly, the way she returned the gift was very particular. Therefore, he looked at the courtesan who had always given people a feeling of weakness and waited for her to continue. If she only told the Phoenix Battalion to turn around and leave, he would definitely look down on her. Unexpectedly, Yu Youwei sneered and said, "Stab this blind servant to death. Earlier, His Highness said that after killing him, the corpse must be left at the door. Now, it seems that there is no need to waste energy. We are only here to see Princess Chang. When the time comes, if Princess Chang says that it is not suitable without the main door, the Lu manor can just install it. If Princess Chang doesn't agree, then kill whoever dares to make a move. "
Yuan Meng laughed heartily and cupped his fists as a sign of respect. Then, he turned his head and said in a deep voice, "Draw your blade and return the gesture!"
Yu Youwei hugged the charmingly naïve white cat and turned to walk back to the carriage. The red faced second steward was left behind, so angry that he couldn't speak. When he saw the Beiliang cavalry draw their blades, the fear that had just disappeared once again enveloped his body. Especially when he saw the fierce lieutenant jump up the steps, he was so scared that he immediately turned around and tried to run through the side door to ask for help. However, a person could not outrun a horse, let alone a Beiliang warhorse. When second steward Lu Dongyang stepped through the door, Yuan Meng's blade hacked down. He fell into a pool of blood and crawled forward with difficulty. This scene caused some of the servants in the manor to cry out in shock. Yuan Meng dismounted his horse and gave this Sir Sihan a heavy stab. Then, he grabbed a leg and threw him out of the side door. His Royal Highness had told him before leaving that the corpse should be left at the door.
Yuan Meng did not pay any attention to the Lu manor servants who had scattered like birds and beasts. He stood at the door and gave the order, "Tear down the middle door!"
Princess Pei was stunned. She looked at Yu Youwei, whose words and actions had always been as gentle as water, and was somewhat stunned.
Jiangxin County, Liu manor.
The Liu manor was considered a family with good roots in Yangzhou. However, the nobles were also divided into different ranks. Compared to the Four Great Clans, the difference was like heaven and earth.
Liu Liting, nicknamed Mr. Cheng Zhai, was currently comforting his wife. He was famous in Gangnam-do for his culinary skills. During this period of time, he did not care about the old adage that a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen. Almost every day, he personally cooked for his wife and racked his brains to please her. Liu Liting was tall and slender. In Gangnam-do, he was like a crane in a flock of chickens. He had an elegant appearance and was born into a noble family. This kind of man was naturally not lacking in romance. A few years ago, when he first met the widow at the White Horse Temple, he was attracted to her. So what if she was a widow? She was the eldest daughter of that butcher and looked so foxy and delicious. It seemed like water could be pinched out with a light pinch. However, although she had a bad reputation and it seemed like anyone would climb into her bed for a night of pleasure, Liu Liting, who was a womanizer, knew that this beautiful woman had a very cold temperament. This aroused Mr. Cheng Zhai's infinite desire to win. He tried his best to please her and could not wait to serve her like an empress. A few days ago, she finally relented. When they were admiring the peonies at Baoguo Temple, she said that if he dared to divorce his wife, she would consider it.
When Liu Liting thought about it, he broke out in a cold sweat. How could he have been bewitched? He could not see through her cold temperament. This widow was clearly waiting to watch a show! Therefore, after he stirred up a big mess, his wife somehow got involved with a favored concubine in the palace. He could no longer care about his scholarly demeanor and face. He immediately wrote a poem to break off relations and threw it outside the Lu manor. Fortunately, the widow's reputation had long been ruined. Who would stand on her side? Otherwise, the Lu manor would not have remained silent and allowed him to splash dirty water. Ha! When Liu Liting thought of this, he secretly rejoiced. It was a blessing in disguise. If she was not a widow who should be drowned in a pig cage, how could he know that his wife's family had incense burning in the imperial palace in the capital? This was something that could be heard all the way to the heavens!
Liu Liting rubbed his wife's shoulders and carefully asked with a smile, "Wife, why has there been no movement in the palace recently? Why hasn't that concubine sent an edict to Gangnam-do?"
Wife Liu put on an indifferent attitude, but in reality, she could only pretend to be mysterious. Not to mention her, at first, even her family didn't know how to make the Empress, who wrote the "Admonition for Women", angry. Her father read by the light of a lamp and flipped through the family tree before he vaguely found a very faint relationship. As for why the thunder was loud but the rain was small, suddenly there was no sound. With her family background, how could she know the truth? As for her husband by her side, how could she not know the fishy smell that could not be brought to light? However, since she was married, she could only vent all her anger on that wanton widow. In her opinion, that slap was not wrong at all. This kind of immoral widow who always wanted to seduce men from other families should be paraded through the streets! It was fine for a man to have three wives and four concubines, but could it be that you, a widow, wanted to have three thousand male companions?
She was afraid that her husband would continue to pester her about the concubine in the palace, so she could only coldly say, "It's late. Go to sleep."
Liu Liting glanced at his wife's appearance and silently lamented in his heart. She really could not be compared to the heavenly beauty Widow Xu.
Under the moonlight, outside the Liu manor, fifty brave light cavalry ignored the night curfew and forcefully entered the city, heading straight for the manor.
The young master in the lead, wearing a white robe and riding a white horse, did not stop his horse. He urged his horse forward and pulled on the reins. The horse's hooves smashed down on the Liu manor's central gate and stomped on it!
After the horse stepped on the central gate, he urged his horse forward into the Liu manor.
