Chapter 117: No Face

After learning that Qin Sheng had come back in time and the wedding could be held normally, Lu Desheng felt relieved. He went out with his hands behind his back and strolled around the yard. Then he felt something was wrong. Were there too few guests? He sent out so many invitations!

Taking a closer look, I found that there were very few officials from the DPRK and Central Government. After counting, there were less than ten.

After discovering this phenomenon, Lu Desheng couldn't help but wonder, was his popularity in the court that bad? Let them not even save face? Or is the news that he is about to fall out of favor known?

These bastards, none of them came to marry his daughter today, he was so angry!

Waiting, he went to get a small notebook and wrote down everyone who dared not give him face.

While the emperor was still here, he had to let this out. Otherwise, I will probably have to hold it in from now on. Lu Desheng felt uncomfortable thinking that the fourth prince would ascend the throne in the future. He was going from a favorite to a marginalized figure. The gap was so big that he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to adapt.

The steward in charge of registering the gifts saw that his master had a strange look on his face, and quickly told him that although many adults in the court did not come, they all sent congratulatory gifts.

Moreover, the housekeepers from various houses who came to give gifts pulled him and told him to tell Mr. Lu that their master was sick and could not come to the Lu family, but he could not go to the Xie family either.

After listening, Lu Desheng said:...

"What's wrong with them?"

Steward: "Diarrhea."

"Is it okay to not come if you have diarrhea? He just has diarrhea by himself. Doesn't he have a wife or son? Why don't they come?"

"The stewards said that the whole family had diarrhea and their legs were weak and they couldn't come."

Lu Desheng finally had nothing to say. Well, the Croton in Chang'an City is probably a few cents more expensive today.

After hearing these explanations, Lu Desheng decided to forget it because they didn't come to Lu's house or Xie's house. He was happy when he thought that the Xie family's wedding banquet was deserted and the guests were sparse.

In fact, these ministers did not come. In addition to not wanting to stand in line, there was another reason. The emperor had not been in court for a long time, and news of his serious illness was vaguely spread. They did not want to attract the emperor's attention at this moment. That is to say, Lu De was victorious, favored, and went to the palace every day to attend to the sick, bah, accompany him, so he dared to hold a wedding banquet in such an atmosphere!

Lu Desheng returned to the main hall with his hands behind his back.

Messenger: "Come, come, the groom is here, the groom has walked through the door."

Lu Songli came to say goodbye to her parents.

"Mom and dad, my daughter is getting married today. You must take good care of yourselves when your daughter is no longer with you." Lu Songli knelt down to Lu Desheng and Jiang, and thanked them for their upbringing along with the original owners. Well, the feeling of maintenance.

"Get up, get up." Lu Desheng and Jiang stepped forward to help her up at the same time. Jiang's eyes were red. After Lu Desheng helped her up, she turned away and wiped away her tears.

"The groom has arrived at the second door!"

Official media urged them to hijab the bride.

Lu Desheng took the new red hijab that was stacked aside, and when he put it on her, he told her, "If you are unhappy in the Qin family from now on, just come back and live here. This will always be your home."

These words were heard by Qin Sheng who had just stepped into the courtyard. He exited and re-entered?

Next, Qin Sheng, the groom, needs to salute his father-in-law and mother-in-law before taking away the bride.

Qin Sheng took a deep breath, then lifted up his robe, knelt down on the ground, and bowed down in the same manner, "Father-in-law and mother-in-law, please rest assured to leave Ah Li to me. I will treat her well in the future, love her, and cherish her."

Lu Songli had a hijab on her head, and when he knelt down, she finally saw what he looked like now.

He couldn't hide the tiredness on his face. Fortunately, he had good looks and didn't look ugly.

Lu Songli calculated that he set off directly after returning from their Lu family on the day of his appointment, which was the sixth day of the lunar month. It can be said that he spent nine days on horses. He also fought fiercely for a day with a group of Qiang and Hu soldiers who had broken off the rear in Baihe Town, wiping out more than a hundred enemies.

She heard it and thought it was awesome. After all, there are not many Qiang and Hu soldiers entering Dali, they must all be elite. Only because Qin Sheng is young and in good health can he be able to bear the burden, otherwise many people will simply fall out of exhaustion.

Suffering makes you mature. He looks a little bit like a little man now. Before, he was a high-spirited young man who was favored by his family.

Lu Songli looked at it, feeling a little uncomfortable. Growing up was painful.

Everything that followed was led by Qin Sheng, and she could just follow Mo Bing's prompts.

Back at Qin's house, Qin Sheng took the bow and arrow handed over by the boy and shot three arrows in a row, towards the sky, the earth, and into the distance. After shooting three arrows, Qin Sheng took the bride off the sedan chair, stepped over the brazier, and worshiped in the hall...

Worship to heaven and earth, bow to the high hall, the husband and wife bow to each other, and finally the ceremony is completed!

When worshiping in the high hall, Mrs. Qin forced a smile. She had already learned about Qin Ming's death and had gone to the side hall to see his remains. She was currently hiding it from Nie Yunniang because she was about to give birth, fearing that she would be frightened if she found out.

After completing all the procedures, you are sent to the bridal chamber.

Mrs. Qin found an opportunity to tell them, "You are still young. Wait until after the New Year, when you are sixteen, to consummate your marriage."

Qin Sheng:......

Lu Songli lowered his head.

"Anyway, you are obedient." Mrs. Qin and her youngest daughter-in-law and son were embarrassed to say this, and left quickly after saying this.

In fact, even if Mrs. Qin didn't tell him, they wouldn't do anything. Don't forget, their fourth brother's coffin is still in the side hall, and there is no funeral or burial.

Northern Territory, Zhuanglang

The Qianghu official camp was surrounded tightly by the army led by Qin Yue.

This area had obviously just experienced several major battles. The bodies lying on the ground included those of Qianghu people and Dali soldiers. The snow was stained red with blood, and the smell of blood drifted far away.

The Qianghu leader Bu Chang hid in the official camp and shouted to the outside, "Qin Yue, I have news for you, how about you withdraw your troops?" He was really scared of being beaten. In the past, when they were all united, he didn't think Qin Yue was scary. Now he was chased and beaten by him, and it really hurt. After several battles, more than half of his Qianghu warriors were killed.

Dali replied, "Unless you hand over the prince, we swear not to withdraw our troops!"

Bu Chang jumped up and said, "I've said it before, there is no prince of your Dali in our tribe!" He regretted that he shouldn't have sent people to rob and kill the prince for those grains and salt and iron. Even if he went, he shouldn't have done it at that time. Now, if the prince is not produced, it is obvious that Qin Yue will not withdraw his troops.

Every soldier of the Beijing army maintained an offensive posture.

"Hand over the prince!"

There was no movement in the official camp.

Qin Yan was a little disappointed. After such a fight, Bu Chang still did not hand over the prince?

"General, do you want to continue fighting?"

Qin Yue waved his sword, "Continue to attack!"

The attack horn sounded, and an angry voice suddenly sounded in the official camp, "Qin Yue, I tell you the truth, the prince is dead, the prince has been dead for a long time!"

Qin Yan looked at his father with horror when he heard this.

Because of this sentence, the Northern Army also caused some commotion.

Only Qin Yue was unmoved, and he didn't even blink, "Prepare to attack! Whoever kills Bu Chang will be rewarded with a thousand gold!"

Qin Yan: Did his father guess it a long time ago?

As the attack horn sounded, Qin Yue rushed forward first.

Crazy! Bu Chang cursed in a low voice, and then he was also aroused to his wildness, leading the tribal warriors to meet them.

A fight began.

More than an hour later, the night fell, and the fight was over. Bu Chang was killed, and his generals were also slaughtered. The people in the Qianghu official camp died or fled...

It can be imagined that the Qianghu people will not be able to recover in ten years. At least in these ten years, they will not be able to become powerful, nor will they endanger the cities on the border of Dali.

The generals of the northern border also paid a great and heavy price. Not to mention the soldiers who died in this battle, let’s talk about the general Qin Yue, who was seriously injured for killing Bu Chang.

The living generals of the northern border who still had strength were slowly cleaning the battlefield.

Qin Yue was lying on the ground simply covered with horsehide.

Qin Yan untied his father's torn armor, tore open his blood-stained clothes, and sprinkled the hemostatic medicine in his hand on the wound. His hands were shaking while sprinkling the medicine.

"Dad, you could have avoided that knife. It was only a matter of time to capture Bu Chang. There was no need to use such a life-for-life fighting method!"

Qin Yue smiled and said, "Second brother, you are right, but how long will it take? How many soldiers will be sacrificed?"

"General!"

"Lord!"

All the soldiers knelt on the ground.

Qin Yan dared to be sure that his father was seeking death, "Dad, why?"

"The prince died in Beijing, and someone must be responsible for this. This is the explanation of my Qin family to the emperor!" He is Qin Yue, as the commander-in-chief of the northern border. Only if he dies, can he atone for his sins and die to apologize for his crimes, and then he can give an explanation to the Song royal family, the court and the world. Only when he dies can he shoulder most of the responsibility, and the rest of the Qin family will have a way out.

"Someone should be responsible. It was the Qiang Hu who killed the prince. We have taken the head of the Qiang Hu leader Bu Chang. Isn't that enough?" The real murderer who killed the prince was obviously someone else. Why should the Qin family be responsible?

Qin Yan followed his father. This time he attacked the Qiang Hu tribe more attentively than any other time, and he tried his best to rescue the prince. Just now, when he learned that the prince was dead, his only thought was to destroy the Qiang Hu tribe and take Bu Chang's head to atone for his crime.

"Silly son, guarding the border is the responsibility of my Qin family." Resisting foreign invasions and winning battles are what we should do.

"It's not like that. It can't be like that."

"Second brother, the rest, Dad will leave it to you. Do you know how to write a war report?" Qin Yue's blood kept flowing, and his voice gradually weakened. Well, the snow is a bit cold tonight.

Qin Yan shook his head, "Dad, I don't understand, I don't understand." So, don't die.

"Ayan is very smart, Dad believes in you. If you have the opportunity to meet Xiaoliu's wife, thank her for Dad." Qin Yue said with a smile, and then looked into the distance, which was the direction of Chang'an City.

Today is the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, a good day for his youngest son to get married, but unfortunately he can't see it. He didn't want to do this today, but he couldn't drag it on any longer.

In the original work, Qin Yue, Qin Ming, and Qin Yan all died in this conspiracy. Qin Ming led the team in the wild and encountered the elite Qiang Hu who came to rob and kill the prince. Qin Ming wanted to save the prince, so he bit them tightly and was killed. Qin Yan was killed in the battle to capture Bu Chang, and Bu Chang ran away. Qin Yue later realized the conspiracy of the fourth prince, and then personally led his troops to besiege Bu Chang and the Qiang Hu tribe, and finally died to apologize.

Lu Songli's reminder made Qin Yue the first to realize the Fourth Prince's conspiracy. After weighing the pros and cons, he finally went into battle personally to encircle and suppress Bu Chang, thus avoiding the sacrifice of Qin Yan.
