Thirty-seven, marrying you will harm you

After tasting some of each side dish, Zhou Xuan exclaimed: "The food in Kaifeng Prefecture is the best in the world. It seems that we have to bring two chefs back from here this time."

Suddenly, I heard Li Hu talking to someone downstairs. It was Yang Zongbao's voice. Zhou Xuan quickly called Yang Zongbao up. Unexpectedly, Yang Zongbao was followed by Princess Yuexiu Liu Shouzhen and Ye Feibai, as well as two Southern Han warriors.

Yang Zongbao said a little embarrassedly: "I went to the inn to find Brother Zhou. When I met Lord Ye and Miss Yue Xiu, I came together."

Zhou Xuan said: "Sit together, sit together - Miss Yuexiu comes to try Kaifeng's food, so you can enjoy it."

He walked along the way and now he is familiar with each other. Before he figured out what Liu Shouzhen wanted to do, Zhou Xuan still had to treat her with a smile, just a smile on his face.

Yang Zongbao sat down next to Sichi, and Ye Feibai and the two Southern Han warriors naturally did not dare to sit down, and stood behind Liu Shouzhen.

Liu Shouzhen dressed up in men's clothes, a squid shirt, a jade-faced and red lips, and was also a handsome young man. Because he was skilled in disguise, although he did not stick to the beard and nose augmentation, he was more masculinity than her original beautiful face. This kind of behavior and temperament change is the most clever disguise technique, and even the four fools secretly admired it when they saw it.

Liu Shouzhen also stared at Sichi several times. He had never had such an opportunity to look at Sichi before, which made Sichi frightened and thought: "Can she see that I was dressed up? No, I have been dressed up for so many years, and my appearance has been deliberately made rough, and my every move is not as good as the one. If it weren't for the last time when I was injured and my chest was seen, he wouldn't know that I was a woman even if I had been with him for more than a year!"

So the four fools stared back coldly, and the assassin's murderous aura was terrifying.

Liu Shouzhen indeed withdrew his gaze and glanced at Yang Xiaofen, who was sitting beside Zhou Xuan. He was forced by Qili, and felt ashamed. Then he raised his neck and stared at Zhou Xuan proudly, thinking hatefully: "This guy is really hateful. He sent the marriage halfway, but he left the beautiful Princess Tang in Quanzhou and refused to give me the emperor's brother. I asked the princess Tang, which turned out to be the one with the surname Zhou, and this princess Tang was really brave enough to marry him. He married the queen who should be the Han country to his mansion within two months after he returned. It was too much to deceive others, but my brother didn't blame him. It was so angry - and, since he had proposed to marry me to the crown prince of Tang, this bold and arrogant guy dared to unilaterally break the contract. He really didn't take my Han country seriously. It's hateful, and it's extremely hateful. Threatening pieces of corpses are not enough to vent my hatred in my heart!"

Liu Shouzhen stared at Zhou Xuan, and her chopsticks kept picking up food. When she chewed, she thought that Zhou Xuan was the dish in her mouth. She wanted to chew him, bit him to pieces, and bite him into a ball... Gradually, a smile appeared in Liu Shouzhen's eyes. She had already thought of a wonderful way to deal with Zhou Xuan, that is, marry Zhou Xuan. Yes, marry him, so that she would definitely find out whether the death of his father was related to him. Regardless of whether it was related or not, she would not let Zhou Xuan go, but she would not kill him with one knife. She died too happily and could not resolve her hatred. She wanted to follow Zhou Xuan and torture Zhou Xuan for the rest of her life. There is a common saying in the Southern Han Dynasty - "If you hate him, marry him and torture him for the rest of her life." Is there anything more relieved than torture people until they are old under her nose?

The more Liu Shouzhen thought about it, the more he felt that this plan was wonderful, and said to himself: "Okay, if you don't let me marry your crown prince, then I will marry you and harm you for the rest of my life. I have great martial arts skills and bullied you so hard. This is in the boudoir, you can't ask your hands to come down to deal with me, right? The powerful force is accumulated slowly, not overnight. I have patience. I will try the charming arts of the Falcons on you one by one, and you will always make you afraid of me like a tiger. None of your beautiful wives and concubines can escape my palms and torture them together."

Liu Shouzhen concealed it very well. Although she thought viciously, she had a slight smile on her face and was quite charming. She had only one strange move, which was to eat vegetables all the time when she wanted something. The plate of roasted coix seeds in front of her and the plate of shrimp mushrooms was eaten by her left chopsticks and the right chopsticks, and her eyes were still staring at Zhou Xuan-

Zhou Xuan was so angry that she thought that Liu Shouzhen wanted to kill with her eyes, but she didn't expect that Liu Shouzhen was thinking about marrying him and causing trouble for his whole life. The hatred that he devoted all his life to was very scary!

The two dishes in front of Liu Shouzhen have been empty, and Zhou Xuan quietly pushed a plate of steamed lychees over his waist.

Liu Shouzhen came to his senses and felt that his stomach was full. He quickly put down his chopsticks and sucked his handkerchief to wipe his mouth.

Zhou Xuan said friendly: "If you like to eat, eat more." He glanced at Liu Shouzhen's men's clothing but did not cover his plump breasts, and thought to himself: "I am worthy of being the sister of the snow pig. If you continue eating like this, you will be able to compete with Meizhu in a year or two."

Liu Shouzhen said: "Don't eat anymore, go and go to the night market?"

Zhou Xuan and Yang Zongbao looked at each other, and they were really worried. Such a person followed her all day and didn't know what she wanted to do. If you say that you should prevent problems before they happen, you can only kill her first. But both Zhou Xuan and Yang Zongbao thought that killing people was not desirable and a bad idea. Moreover, Liu Shouzhen has never expressed malicious intentions to them these days, so how can he kill the princess of a country for no reason!

Zhou Xuan asked: "Brother Yang, what fun places are there nearby?"

Yang Zongbao said: "Traveling west for three or four miles, there is the Guankou Erlang Temple, which is the most prosperous. Not only are there many children's toys, but also a hundred plays of juggling from afternoon to late at night. The ban has just been lifted in the past two days, and it is even more lively."

Everyone went to the Temple of Xierlang in Zhou. As soon as the shop of "Chicken Zhang Family" was opened, the four cynical boys said, "Please look, a group of Liao people came over there."

There were about a dozen people from this group of Liao people. Except for the three in the middle, wearing headscarves and luxurious round-necked robes, the rest were all covered in hair, covered in hair, small-sleeved robes with leather collars, golden rings, and single swords on their waists, which were fierce.

Yang Zongbao whispered: "Only officials of the Liao people with fifth rank or above are allowed to wear headscarves, otherwise even if they are born in nobles, they must have their hair exposed."

Yang Zongbao hated the Liao people quite hated. His grandfather Yang Jiye followed Cao Bin, Duke of Lu, to lead the Northern Expedition twelve years ago, and was defeated by the Liao army at Qigou Pass. His grandfather Yang Jiye died in battle. Since then, due to Zhao Guangyi’s old injury, Zhao Defang could not control him in the west, so he was mainly guarded against Liao. Now that the new king has ascended the throne, he may discuss the Northern Expedition again. This is what Yang Zongbao is very much looking forward to.

Zhou Xuan nodded and looked at Yang Xiaopin sideways. Yang Xiaopin shook her head, saying that she is not from Liao. In her vague impression, her parents are both Han costumes and do not have such strange hairstyles.

Zhou Xuan's personal soldiers and Yu Linwei also gathered here. Several of them saw the banners fought by the two Liao people, but they didn't know that Zhou Xuan was going to take Yang Xiaopin to the Liao Kingdom to find relatives, and they didn't know that Yang Xiaopin was born on the first day of the first lunar month of the Liao Dynasty, so no one reported this to Zhou Xuan at all.

Things in the world are all wrong and make people sigh.

Zhou Xuan said: "If three or more Liao people appear together, they must have come to participate in the ceremony of the Ascension of the New Lord of the Northern Song Dynasty."

Yang Zongbao knew that Zhou Xuan was going to take Yang Xiaopin to Liao Kingdom to look for relatives, so he asked Zhou Xuan: "Brother Zhou, do you want me to come forward and ask?"

Zhou Xuan shook his head and said, "No, we will meet tomorrow."

The Yang Xiaopin wandered in the south of the Yangtze River. It is very likely that something major happened to the family. Inquiring directly from these Liao people is probably probably going to cause unexpected twists and turns, so it is better to inquire in secret.

The more than ten Liao people, Zhou Xuan and others passed by. The leader was tall, with a tough face, a cold expression, with short beards on his upper lip and a very sensual eyes. He glanced at Zhou Xuan and others, and when his eyes flashed over Yang Xiaofen's face, a hint of surprise flashed through—

Along the way, people who were stunned by Yang Xiaopin's beauty and were stunned on the way. Yang Xiaopin lowered his head slightly and pressed his hat down.

The Liao noble man kept his feet and quickly passed by, about ten feet away. Then he looked back and saw Zhou Xuan and others turning westward around the corner.

The man from Liao Kingdom with a strong face frowned and said to a squid servant beside him: "Go and check, who are the men and women just now? Who is the beautiful woman wearing a hat and six skirts?"

A headscarf wrapped on the left of the man, a Liao man in his fifties laughed and said, "Gao Ba, have you fallen in love with the beauty of Song? I'm afraid it's not as good as you wish."

A man from Liao Kingdom named Gao Ba smiled faintly: "Uncle was joking. Although Gao Ba is lustful, he will not cause trouble in Song Kingdom. I just inquire about the identity of this woman. If you can buy property, wouldn't that be better?"

Several Liao people laughed and walked back to Duting Post. Duting Post was a specialty for the envoys of the Liao Kingdom. It was more luxurious than the Wanguo Post in Anzhou Lane where Zhou Xuan lived. The Northern Song Dynasty attached more importance to the Great Liao than the Tang Dynasty.

Shortly after returning to Dutingyi, the servant who had previously sent Gao Ba who changed to disguise as a Song man came back and reported: "The subordinates have brought the two of them back and detained them in the backyard horse house."

Gao Ba remained silent and said after a while: "Take me to see, I want to have a good talk with those two."

Gao Ba came to the horse house, and the two Liao people who were looking for people were tied to wooden stakes. When Gao Ba came in, he cursed.

Gao Ba's follower wanted to come forward to beat someone, but Gao Ba stopped them and ordered them to withdraw. He wanted to talk to these two people.

Several entourages left the horse's house very far away. After a long time, they saw Gao Ba coming out and said, "I have a body, I've cleaned up. The other person is so happy to treat him. Don't let him leave the inn."

When the two followers went in, they saw blood flowing all over the floor. One of the two seekers tied to wooden stakes had died. The other was not possessed, and his tongue was knotted. He kept saying: "The villain is willing to serve the king, and the villain is willing to serve the king--"

The Erlang Temple is outside the gate of the Wan family and is granted the title of Shenbao Temple. Many people wait outside the gate of the temple overnight, competing to burn tomorrow's incense, which is Qingming Festival tomorrow.

In the square in front of the temple, there are dozens of five-meter-high logs, and each log lantern is hung with a string of lanterns, which makes the square in a radius of hundreds of steps bright as daytime———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Zhou Xuan’s experience of more than a thousand years can be said to be knowledgeable, but he was also dazzling in front of the Erlang Temple. Those who pretended to be gods and ghosts and spit out fireworks looked dangerous and terrifying.

Yang Xiaopin's eyes were wide open, and she held Zhou Xuan's forearm tightly with her right hand. The intimate appearance of the two made Liu Shouzhen very angry. She thought in her heart how to let Zhou Xuan marry her. In terms of appearance, she thought she was slightly inferior to Yang Xiaopin. Zhou Xuan had a bad impression of her, and she knew how to change all this? Zhou Xuan liked to bet, and had to go to his preferences and approach him step by step.

Liu Shouzhen approached Zhou Xuan and said, "Zhou Xuan, there is sumo wrestling there. Let's go and have a gamble to see who has the best eyesight?"

Zhou Xuan didn't know that Liu Shouzhen was so determined to marry him. He thought that Liu Shouzhen was as good as his brother Snow Pig Emperor, so he naturally had no reason not to gamble, so he went to see it with Yang Xiaopin, Sini, and Yang Zongbao.

Sumo wrestling, also known as Kouji, is said to originate from the Huangdi period and was particularly popular in the Tang Dynasty. In the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhao Guangyi was very fond of sumo wrestling, so he overwhelmed Cuju and polo, becoming the first competitive athlete in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Sumo wrestling is very competitive. Such things happened in the Jin Dynasty. Hu Er from the Western Regions was skilled in sumo wrestling and was invincible. No one in the Jin Dynasty dared to fight against the enemy. Sima Yan was very annoyed by this matter, so he posted a list of articles and recruited warriors. A great man named Yu Dong applied for recruitment and competed with the Hu people. As a result, he killed him. Yu Dong was famous all over the world and was rewarded as an official.

Sumo wrestling competitions were held all year round in the Northern Song Dynasty, and outstanding sumo wrestlers were awarded military positions, so it was extremely popular from the army to the people.

Although there are many spectators in the square in front of the temple, they are still much worse than in the afternoon. The real high-quality sumo wrestlers will not play here. They are all sub-people sumo wrestlers. At this time, the spectators are sparse. The two drummers on the sumo wrestlers are weak in beating the drums. The two men on the stage are also shaking their arms around, not for sumo wrestling, but for fear that they will not move and are too cold.

Liu Shouzhen whispered a few words to Ye Feibai. Ye Feibai took out a small ingot of silver, about two taels, put it on the side of the platform, and said shrillly: "Two, you buy this silver for you to enjoy, you have to cheer up."

The two sumo wrestlers were excited, and they clasped their fists to thank Ye Feibai. At the same time, they tightened their belts, lowered their bodies, stretched their hands forward, and began to compete with each other.

Liu Shouzhen said: "Zhou Xuan, who will win these two?"

Seeing that Liu Shouzhen was talking to him in a very familiar tone, Zhou Xuan was secretly alert and said, "You want to bet, right? What is the bet?"

Liu Shouzhen said: "You are Duke of Wu, with a high position and a powerful position, and you don't lack anything. This way, if you lose, you can do something for me-"

Zhou Xuan shook his head and said, "Don't bet."

Liu Shouzhen was not angry and said, "I know you are afraid of me. This is how you do it. If you win, you can ask me to do something for you. If I win, you only have to lose one hundred taels of silver. Is that okay?"

Zhou Xuan looked at Liu Shouzhen suspiciously. The absurd Nan Han princess's face was red in color, her lips were beautiful, her moon-white robe was spotless, and her chest was not deliberately restrained like the fourth brother, and she let her tower high. She was very tempting. She thought to herself, "What do you want to do? Beauty plan? Don't you look at who is standing beside me, can you compare?" She said, "Okay, that's it. Let's talk first, which one will win?"

Liu Shouzhen said: "You choose first."

Zhou Xuan didn't care. Anyway, it was only 100 taels of silver. Seeing that the man with a red belt was stronger, he said, "I bet on the red belt that won."

Liu Shouzhen said: "Well, then I will bet on the black belt that wins."

Two sumo wrestlers, one red and one black, were fighting each other on the stage, fighting each other in a fair manner.

Zhou Xuan shouted: "Honey with the red belt, I bet you win. If you win, I will reward you with five taels of silver. If you lose, there will be no point?"

Liu Shouzhen glared and said, "Is this considered fraud?"

Zhou Xuan spread his hands: "This is not fraud, this is called motivation."

Ye Feibai was already screaming: "Black belt, I will give you ten taels of silver with you if you win, so I will try harder, ah——"

Because Zhou Xuan was motivated first, the red-belt sumo wrestler took the lead in exerting force, pushing his head with a simple and powerful hand control. The black-belt sumo wrestler was listening to Ye Feibai's shouting, and was caught off guard and was thrown into the audience by this violent blow.

Zhou Xuan laughed loudly and asked Lihu to reward the sumo wrestler with a red belt with five taels of silver. His eyes were always on Liu Shouzhen's face and his body was spinning. What did Liu Shouzhen reflect?

Liu Shouzhen's face was a little blushed, but he looked like he was willing to accept the loss, and said, "I lost, tell me, what do you want me to do for you?"

Zhou Xuan originally wanted Liu Shouzhen to go back to the Southern Han Dynasty honestly, but now he was observing his appearance. Liu Shouzhen was eight or nine, and he wanted to use a beauty plan on him. It was interesting and interesting. Let's see how Liu Shouzhen performed, and then said, "I don't want you to do anything. I just want you to earn 100 taels of silver for me. Note that you have to earn it yourself, relying on your own abilities."

Yang Zongbao was holding back his laughter and felt that Princess Yuexiu's attitude towards Zhou Xuan was very strange.

Liu Shouzhen was a little disappointed with Zhou Xuan’s request and asked with a frown: “How can I earn that one hundred taels?”

Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "I don't care about this, I can steal or rob."

Before he finished speaking, a man laughed and said, "You don't have to steal or rob. If you sing a song, I will reward you with a hundred taels of silver."

Liu Shouzhen turned around and saw a man in brocade robe and jade belt walking to the front of the stage surrounded by several followers, playing with a jade Ruyi in his hand, looking at Liu Shouzhen with a smile, and then his eyes moved to Yang Xiaofen's face, looking shocked and stunning.

Isn't this treating her Princess Nanhan as a brothel? Liu Shouzhen's face turned red, and his feet were paused, and a stone shot up, hitting the forehead of the man in the brocade robe, and blood suddenly flowed through—

Zhou Xuan said: "Where are the stones flying from? Wow, be careful."

The man in brocade robe covered his forehead, blood oozing out from his fingers, and shouted angrily: "You hit someone, come and beat me."

Yang Zongbao did not recognize the man in brocade robe, but it was always bad that things were going on. He quickly stepped forward and said, "Do you do it slowly, do you know who she is?" He pointed at Ye Feibai.

The man in the brocade robe was furious and shouted, "No matter who he is, give me a shot."

Yang Zongbao shouted: "This is an envoy of the Han Dynasty and the chief censor of the Han Dynasty, Lord Ye Fei, who dares to be rude!"

The man in brocade robe was stunned for a moment. Seeing Ye Fei's white face and no beard-free appearance, it was really in line with the legendary image of the eunuch dynasty, but his momentum did not diminish slightly. He said angrily: "Can the Southern Han people commit crimes at will in my Great Song Dynasty? Do you know who I am?"
