Eighty-five, don't think you are old and ugly

On the 29th year of Kaibao in the Tang Dynasty, on August 27, 10,000 Tang troops and 5,000 Qingyuan troops defeated the Wuyue army in the area of ​​Daqi Mountain in Putian. Qian Weiyan never dreamed that the Tang army would appear here, and there were also the assistance of Qingyuan soldiers in black clothes and black armor. He retreated in a hurry with thousands of defeated generals. Chen Kai, the Minister of War, personally led the Tang army soldiers to pursue them, striving to capture Fuzhou City in one fell swoop and pacify the land of Fujian.

Zhou Xuan in Quanzhou City is very leisurely, fighting insects all day long and playing chess. What is a little unhappy is that there are more people serving Princess Qingle now, and the good days of being alone and widowed in the same bed are gone. But Xiao Kong kisses her mouth and touches her hands, and feels the joy of having an affair.

Prince Xuezhu urged him to set off several times, but Zhou Xuan had to wait for the battle report ahead, and the second was to wait for Xiahou Liusu to arrive, saying that the situation was still unstable, and he would go to Guangzhou Xingwang Mansion by sea in two days.

Early in the morning of August 29, Chen Kai sent several military academies to escort a Qingyuan warrior named Lan Lingsheng to meet Zhou Xuan's letter overnight. This Lan Lingsheng was Lan Lianchang's confidant, who followed Xiahou Yun to Fuzhou to move troops and intend to capture Pan Yujiao. Zhou Xuan had met him and severely denounced Xiahou Yun as his daughter to help the enemy.

At this time, Lan Ling was covered in dust and looked confused. She knelt in front of Zhou Xuan to apologize.

Zhou Xuan said: "Your Lan clan leader, his mother, and his uncle have led his clan members to pay tribute to His Majesty the Emperor of Tang. If you don't blame him for the past, Lan Lingsheng, you don't have to be afraid, stand up and talk."

Lan Lingsheng said he didn't dare to say that he was shocked for three or three days. He could only come back to the heart. He only left Quanzhou for half a month, but when he came back, he was already the world of the Tang army. This feeling is no exaggeration to use the change of worlds.

Zhou Xuan said: "Lan Lingsheng, let me ask you, where are Deputy Commander Xiahou and Miss Liusu now?"

Lan Lingsheng said: "When the army was defeated, Deputy Xiahou and Miss Xiahou led more than ten Qingyuan warriors, including us, to break through with Qian Weiyan and fled to Daiyun Mountain. Qian Weiyan was anxious and took his anger on Deputy Xiahou and ordered his men to capture him. Deputy Xiahou was in a state of despair and did not want to resist. He was injured by arrows. Miss Xiahou protected Deputy Xiahou and rushed out, intending to surrender to Duke Zhou, but Deputy Xiahou would rather die and refused to die, saying that he would kill Duke Zhou to avenge the Duke Chen—"

Liusu's father is really stubborn! Zhou Xuan shook his head and said, "Chen Si'an is living well. He will set off to Jinling to meet His Majesty Tang Emperor soon. Where can Xiahou Yun avenge him? Well, continue."

Lan Lingsheng said: "The villain didn't know what happened later, so he was caught and brought here overnight."

Zhou Xuan nodded and asked Lan Lingsheng to visit Lan Xiangyu under house arrest, and temporarily serve as Lan Xiangyu's guard.

When Zhou Xuan interrogated Lan Lingsheng, Chen Ji was right next to him and said, "Brother Zhou, don't worry about Xiahou Liusu. I will go to Chen Si'an now and ask him to write a book to summon Xiahou Yun, and then send more soldiers to find him, father and daughter, and they will definitely return safely."

Zhou Xuan said: "Okay, when Liusu comes back, she will wait for me in Quanzhou, and I will go to Xingwang Mansion tomorrow."

Chen Ji said: "The Qingyuan Navy does not have a large ship dozens of feet like the Southern Han Dynasty, but there are many warships, more than a thousand, and now all have surrendered. Our Tang Navy is in great momentum. Tomorrow, we will send 100 warships to escort Brother Zhou. In this way, we will not be afraid of the obstruction of the Eight Kingdoms Navy of Zhongtian when we pass the Chaozhou coast."

After dinner, Zhou Xuan went to the Koi Courtyard to say goodbye to Princess Qingle. Princess Qingle said in tears: "Cousin Xuan, when will I come back? I am afraid of staying here alone."

Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Since the princess can't stay in Quanzhou, then how about I let General Qi drive the 'Lingfei' to escort you back to Jinling first?"

Princess Qingle said, "That won't work. It was Cousin Xuan who sent me here, and I also asked Cousin Xuan to send me back."

Zhou Xuan said: "Then wait in Quanzhou - uh, recuperate, I guess I will be able to come back by mid-October at the latest. Your Majesty's edict should also arrive, and the princess can go back with justification."

Princess Qingle said, "Okay, Cousin Xuan will go to the beach tomorrow morning, right? Then accompany me tonight-" She glanced at Feng Ajian and others standing beside her, blushed on her cheeks, and changed her mouth, "Cousin Xuan will accompany me to play Double Land?"

Zhou Xuan said: "I don't know how to use Shuanglu. Let Feng Ajian play with His Highness. I still have some things to arrange." After that, he bowed and withdrew.

Xiaoqian chased him out and said, "Son-in-law, Xiaoqian will go to Nanhan with his son-in-law tomorrow."

Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "There are thousands of miles to go to Xingwang Mansion here. Xiaoqian should stay by the princess."

Princess Qingle has been with Xiaoqian for a long time and also likes Xiaoqian. Xiaoqian and Fangcha are now her two confidants, and advised: "Keen is here to stay with me, and I will give you any rewards you want."

Xiaoqian said stubbornly: "No, Xiaoqian wants to follow his son-in-law. Miss Que'er ordered Xiaoqian to take care of his son-in-law's daily life. A few days ago, there were no one here, Xiaoqian served the princess here. Now there are so many people in the princess, Xiaoqian wants to follow his son-in-law." He ran into his room and quickly packed up a small package and came out.

Zhou Xuan knew that this little girl was stubborn and Qin Que's words were imperial edicts, so he said, "Okay, let's go with me now."

Zhou Xuan returned to his residence, thinking that he would set off early tomorrow morning, and Pan Yujiao followed Chen Kai to Fuzhou to appease the tribesmen. He probably wouldn't be able to come back to see him off for a while. This beautiful matriarch is both passionate and ambitious, so he is not easy to deal with.

That night, Zhou Xuan and Chen Ji said for a long time, and they fell asleep.

On August 30th, Zhou Xuan brought Sichi, Xiaoqi, Lihu, and ten Fenghua soldiers under General Qi, and Prince Xuezhu brought Meizhu, Chen Yanshou, Fei Qing, and escorted by the 500 cavalrymen led by Chen Ji to the Dongling Coast of Hui'an.

Princess Qingle took the bus to the south gate of Quanzhou. It was hard to say anything intimate in front of everyone. She just ordered the imperial physician of Fang and Duke Zhou to go there, and if there was any illness, it would be cured immediately.

After Zhou Xuan's horse team went far away, Princess Qingle suddenly became sad and sobbed and felt very uncomfortable. The pampered royal princess felt a deeper separation than Yuechu who left Jinling and said goodbye to his father and mother.

Zhou Xuan walked back and forth several times from Quanzhou to Hui'an. Before that afternoon, Shen Shi rushed to the coast of Dongling. He saw thousands of sails on the sea and ships everywhere. It turned out that Chen Ji had already transferred more than a hundred Qingyuan Navy's naval warships to come here to wait for his order.

Zhou Xuan did not take the "Lingfei", but only took the sea ship of the Eight Kingdoms of Zhongtian captured in Haikou, Fuzhou. The excuse was that the hull of the "Lingfei" was damaged by the sea god wind and needed to be overhauled. In fact, the real reason was that Zhou Xuan wanted to take the ship for himself. If he sailed to the Xing Palace, although Prince Xuezhu promised that the "Lingfei" would return to the Tang Kingdom, Liu Jixing might not agree, so he would stay with peace of mind first.

The sampan was rowing, and Zhou Xuan was about to board the big boat. He saw a big white horse coming from afar. Pan Yujiao, the beautiful mountain matriarch, came alone to see her lover off. "Zhaoye Yuhua Cong" under his crotch, threw her entourage behind for more than ten miles.

When he came to Zhou Xuan, Pan Yujiao dismounted lightly and hailed the Ha tribe, saying, "Mr. Duke, please speak with one step, and report important matters to the humble position."

Zhou Xuan followed Pan Yujiao to a huge rock on the shore, and was several feet away from everyone.

Pan Yujiao looked around vigilantly, believing that no one could see this, so she suddenly approached Zhou Xuan, tiptoed to kiss his lips, and took a step back and asked, "When will the county magistrate come back?"

Zhou Xuan took Pan Yujiao's hands, put them in his palms, and chuckled, "When I come back, can you go to Jinling?"

Pan Yujiao smiled slightly: "My County Duke, some women only want to stay by their beloved man, but Yujiao is not. Yujiao also wants to be with the Duke, but Yujiao still has a lot to do - let my son come to Jinling to recognize his father in seven years."

Zhou Xuan gently stroked her cheek and said, "You must make great contributions this time. You must be the Marquis of Fengzhou. You must be above other Shanha patriarchs. You can judge the situation and be content with your life. Just be your leader of Shanha in Fujian. Remember my words, I don't want you mother and son to go against Tang State. It's meaningless to be king and dominate. Look at Chen Si'an, who has been entrenched in Qingyuan for many years, hasn't he been a prisoner for a while!"

Pan Yujiao grabbed Zhou Xuan's hand and pressed it on his heart, responding: "Yes, I just need my tribe members to live and work in peace and contentment."

The dusk was faintly shrouded, and everyone on the shore was waiting for Zhou Xuan to board the boat.

"I'm leaving." Zhou Xuan reached out and gently stroked Pan Yujiao's belly, and smiled: "I'll return to Quanzhou in about October, and then I'll see that your belly is a little big."

Pan Yujiao's fair face seemed to be covered with a layer of rouge, and she whispered: "I will think about the county duke. When our children grow up and can stand alone, I will come to Jinling to serve the county duke, hoping that the county duke will not think that I am ugly."

Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Don't let me wait too old. After the Fujian region is stable, you will bring your children to Jinling to meet His Majesty and visit your relatives."
