Chapter 427

County town.

The Chinese New Year is coming again, and the four old squires have gathered together.

In the past, the four squires would visit each other before the new year to talk about Mobei city and think about how to exploit these villagers, but now they are all poor. If there were not several shops, their life would be very difficult.

At this party, the food on their table was very simple. They only fried some peanuts and heated a little sorghum wine, but there was nothing else.

Master Wu made it.

While eating peanuts, Master Wu said, "have you heard? Mrs. Xiao Hou is back."

"I heard that when I came back yesterday, I went to Yao county magistrate for a meal. I bah. She's shameless. It's good to have dinner. She's so brazen that she doesn't look at the situation now." Master Ji said.

The rich master also ate a grain of peanuts and said, "I've heard that when the woman was arrested, she was taken by several people. She thought others didn't know."

"Isn't that Jing Feng? The man who was cut down by Xiaobao mountain."

"This time the woman was caught, it was also a great contribution to let Xiao Baoshan work hard to destroy Beiqing military camp." Master Ma said.

“……”

Several old guys angrily discussed Ye Xiaoxian's situation.

Master Wu suddenly said, "when our land was taken back, the woman didn't give advice behind her back. Yao county magistrate had to listen to her. Now that she's back, something happened again. Should we help her fan the fire so that she can't get around in this desert north city?"

Several other people had this idea for a long time. Master Ji said, "I don't like her for a long time. She let us stay in Mobei, so we should let her stay in Mobei."

Master Ma also sneered: "who won't spread rumors? Tomorrow we'll sit in the county teahouse and see what to say, and specifically pick the key points. In a few days, I don't think the woman will dare to go out."

The four squires hit it off.

……

Beiqing.

In the other palace, the people sent to hunt Ye Xiaoxian and xiaobaoshan are back.

Empress Dowager Xiao doesn't have to ask. When she looks at these people's expressions, she knows that they haven't been caught.

She couldn't help being angry: "these two people fled from other palaces. Although it took a day, Beiqing is so big. As long as the news is released in time, there's no reason why they can't catch people. You're a county loser."

Beiqing is so big that it is difficult for xiaobaoshan and ye Xiaoxian to fly as long as they inform the major sentries in time.

But the bad thing is that they can't inform.

It's too cold in Beiqing. If it's summer, you can still rely on carrier pigeons to deliver messages. Now it's winter. Where can carrier pigeons fly so far?

Coupled with the ice and snow, it may have been frozen to death without flying out for a few miles.

horse?

The horses in xiaobaoshan are not simple. They are one by one. Even ye Xiaoxian can escape quickly under the pressure of escape.

Indeed, the princess and the county horse master delayed.

If they had come back earlier, Xiao Baoshan and ye Xiaoxian might not have escaped.

Empress Dowager Xiao also knew the main reason. In her anger, she ordered people to pass on the princess and Li Yujin.

……

At this time, the group leader and Li Yujin are in their house.

After letting Ye Xiaoxian go, the princess has always blamed herself, and it is inevitable that she will complain about Li Yujin for not telling her the real situation. If she knew that ye Xiaoxian's husband was xiaobaoshan, she would not let them go anyway.

Who is xiaobaoshan? He is the biggest threat to Beiqing. One person is better than 10000 troops.

However, complaining is complaining. She never scolded Li Yujin. After all, this is her husband.

Later, hearing the Empress Dowager's summons, the princess panicked.

She guessed that Xiao Baoshan must not have been caught, so she angered the Empress Dowager.

On the way to the Empress Dowager's bedroom, the princess has been very nervous, and her body is even shaking. She is not worried about her own safety, but about Li Yujin.

She is the princess, the little emperor's aunt, the first emperor and the Empress Dowager also spoil her. Even if she makes such a mistake, she will not die. What about Li Yujin? The Empress Dowager had been unhappy with him for a long time. If she hadn't been protecting him, they would have left early in the morning.

Beiqing is not like a big prayer. A woman has no status after she leaves. Beiqing women can find a husband like after she leaves. With her conditions, remarriage is not difficult at all.

I don't know if Li Yujin saw through the princess's mind. When he was approaching the Empress Dowager's bedroom, Li Yujin suddenly stretched out his hand and held the princess's hand.

The princess looked at him and saw the face she was familiar with. Although this face was no longer young, in her eyes, he was still the elegant and handsome appearance when she first saw him.

He is versatile, can write poetry and can ride and shoot. Compared with Beiqing men, he has a little more tenderness. If not, how does she like him?

"If the Empress Dowager is investigated later, you will say that I did all this. You don't know it at all. If the Empress Dowager wants to punish, punish me. No matter what kind of punishment, I will accept it, as long as it doesn't bother you and the children."

The princess smiled bitterly: "what are you talking about? We are husband and wife. We should be punished together."

“……”

The two said and soon arrived at the Empress Dowager's bedroom.

The Empress Dowager looked very dignified at this time, and she was in a state of impending attack.

The princess quickly knelt down with Li Yujin.

The Empress Dowager's eyes seemed to be on fire. She looked at Li Yujin and the princess below and said coldly: "xiaobaoshan and cook ye have run away. Thanks to you, the whole people of Beiqing know that xiaobaoshan is a big trouble for Beiqing. Now she let him escape. What should you do?"

The princess was about to speak, but Li Yujin hurriedly said, "I did it all by myself. It has nothing to do with the princess. I am willing to accept any punishment."

"You? What do you think you are qualified to be punished? Which of you is valuable? Your identity is given to you by Beiqing. You have no money and wealth. You rely on the influence of the princess. You are not my adviser to Beiqing. You have no merit to Beiqing. According to your prayers, you are a door-to-door son-in-law. Even your life is not worth a penny in the eyes of the mourners A copper coin. "

Obviously, Li Yujin has long been used to the views of Daqi people on him. Over the years, he has been regarded as an accessory of the princess. Now when he heard the Empress Dowager say so, he just replied numbly: "what the Empress Dowager said is very true."

The Empress Dowager looked at the princess and said, "princess, look at the good husband you chose. He not only didn't do any merit to Beiqing, but also brought us trouble. I think you'd better stay together."
