The climate is dry and cold in winter, and the snow and soil on the official road are frozen hard and hard. Lu Yao and his group are riding horses and quickly pass through Dongye Gate and enter the inner city of Jicheng.

On the left side of the road in the east gate, a group of civil servants were shouting and busy erecting a stone tablet. This was a memorial monument erected by Liu Jing, the general who fought for the construction of Lilingye in the fifth year of Yuankang. The stone tablet was originally erected by the sorghum water east of Liangshan. After the founding of this dynasty, few people maintained it and gradually became abandoned. Zuti organized people to move it into Jicheng, perhaps to show the people that the new governor's political general was just like the famous minister Liu Jing, and to take benefit to the people first.

Seeing the magnificent cavalry team passing by, the mentors erected the monument and the ordinary civilians who were traveling on the road retreated to the road and bowed down. The soldiers on duty at various intersections only gave a half salute, then raised their chests and continued to stand straight.

The troops stationed within Jicheng were originally directly affiliated with Lu Yao. But many of the soldiers looked at the cavalry closely behind Lu Yao, the most direct guards among the direct line. Everyone knew that Lu Yao was the key to managing the army with great rewards and heavy punishments. As long as he was good at fighting and had merits, he would have great opportunities to improve. In previous battles, hundreds of brave soldiers were promoted. Among them, the future of being transferred to the general's personal guard team was the most optimistic. After a period of training in the personal guard team, many people were sent to serve as 100 generals or even above. When awarding fields to the meritorious soldiers, soldiers from personal guards also occupied a considerable number.

A few months ago, they were all the same mud legs. They were poor in the army, but now some people are among the generals and schoolmen, and they don’t even have to worry about their family property. This has caused envy among the whole army, and it also inspires everyone to kill the enemy and make achievements and strive for a future. Lu Yao is very familiar with the mentality of the soldiers and is very satisfied. If he is on weekdays, he will definitely raise his hand to show his encouragement to the soldiers.

But Lu Yao was really a little heavy-hearted at this moment and couldn't care about it. How far did the three women in Yandufang play have been held? What impact will today's unexpected meeting have on the Lord of Jingling County in the Central Plains? Lu Yao rode his horse and his face became more and more gloomy.

The scale of Jicheng is the highest in the northern border, and it is not inferior to Jinyang City in Bingzhou. After King Wu of Zhou destroyed Shang, he appointed Emperor Yao's descendants in Ji and Duke Zhao in Yan. More than a hundred years later, "Ji Wei Yan Sheng". Ji State was destroyed by Shanrong, which advanced southward, and Yan State defeated Shanrong with the help of Qi State, and swallowed the land of Jihou, and used Ji City as its capital. After hundreds of years of operation in the Qin and Han Dynasties, this place has always been an important military and political center in the north. With the help of Qi and Zhao in Nantong, the Xianbei in the north, and the eastward

With the unique geographical conditions of Fuyu Goguryeo and other places, Jicheng is a well-deserved economic center. As Huan Kuan said in "Salt and Iron Theory", Zhuoji of Yan, Handan of Zhao, Wenhuan of Wei, Xingyang of Han, Linzi of Qi and other places were all rich in the country and famous capitals in the world: "Those who do not help cultivate the wild and farm the land are located in the streets of the five princes, crossing the streets and rushing the road." The group walked along the road. After a while, they approached the Pingbei General's Mansion, which occupied about four lifangs in the northeast corner of Jicheng.

In the first year of Taishi, Emperor Wu appointed Emperor Wen's seventh son Sima Ji as the King of Yan, with a town of 6,663. Later, the 1337 households in Beiping, Shanggu and Guangning counties increased to 20,000 households, which was a big vow. However, Sima Ji did not join the country, but was transferred to the governor of Qingzhou, and died soon after he died without a son. When King Sima Ji of Qi was assisting the government, he once wrote that his son Sima Ji was the heir. After his political struggle failed, he was killed, the country was eliminated. In this way, the Yan Palace in Jicheng was always just a decoration and never really opened. Lu Yao honestly and unceremoniously occupied it and set up the main office space in Mingguang Hall. This place is separated from the Youzhou Governor's Mansion in Zuti, which is just a suitable distance.

But this area has been abandoned for many years and repairs are not a day. In order to avoid being criticized as a transcendence of etiquette, the building specifications also require many adjustments. So far, there are only a few major office places that can be put into use. In addition to the fact that some of the officials who are on duty are stationed, Lu Yao himself is still stationed in the military camps in the suburbs.

Pang Yuan came out of the side door of the general's mansion and urged his horse to meet the team: "Wang De is still the guardian of Miss Ajue to Youzhou, and the army leader He is accompanying him. Should the general use some food in the mansion and meet him by the way?"

"No. Let He Yun be with him and stay neglected."

"yes."

The cavalry team did not stop and continued to move forward. Go south to cross a artificially built garden water lake, and you can see large and large buildings, which are the Lulong, Jibei, Yandu and other buildings where many officials and great tribes of Youzhou live.

Although he decided to have a marriage relationship with Lu Yao, the girl who loved him as a bead failed to win the position of General Pingbei, which made Xian Yusi feel a little regretful at first. As a result, he got a hint about Lu Yao's identity from Fang Qinzhi the next day, and was immediately scared. With his intelligence, he naturally understood that the civil and military officials of the Pingbei Military Prefecture hoped that there would be some checks and balances in the general's inner courtyard, which led to the marriage. However, Xian Yusi himself did not think of the wealthy family in the northern border.

He was qualified to compare with the royal family, and he did not think that the daughter of the Xianyu family had the strength to compete with the lord of Jingling County, nor did he intend to participate in the most core conflict in the military mansion so quickly. After thinking about it all day, Xianyusi completely ignored the eager expectations of his colleagues and turned his attitude to a very low point. He asked to see General Pingbei overnight and reported that he would only place his young sister in a family's other courtyard in Yandufang. After the construction of General Pingbei Mansion was completed, he would be sent to the military mansion as a concubine.

This action caught Lu Yao off guard, and he thought that someone threatened the new Chengju to join the army. After all, the Xianyu family was the first Youzhou family to move closer to the military palace. Treating the legitimate daughters in his family as ordinary concubines is definitely not in line with Lu Yao's original intention of treating local tribes.

It should be noted that the contemporary trend is too luxurious, and there are many noble people who like to keep concubines. For example, when Wang Jun and Wang Peng Zu were alive, there were more than ten wives in the mansion. There were hundreds of beauties, and the number of maids was even more difficult to count. On the other hand, when Shi Chong, the Weiwei Wei, often asked the beauties to drink, but if anyone could not drink enough, the servants would immediately kill the beauties. This incident certainly proved the fierceness of Shi Chong; however, the low status of the concubine and maid can also be seen. If he rashly regarded the daughter of Xianyu as his concubine, he would probably arouse the disgust of other major clans.

Lu Yao quickly comforted Xian Yusi with kind words, and the next day he formally issued an order to announce that General Nahu, the Xian Yu family, was the wife of the wife, and the wine and food of the soldiers were given to the congratulations.

Lu Yao thought that the marriage with the Prince of Jingling was the first marriage between the Lu family in Jiangdong and the royal family, and it was of great significance; the procedure was much more complicated than the usual six rituals such as naming and asking for names, and I am afraid that it may not be completed within the year. I can explain my own behavior of a wife in the side room in the future. But now, the Prince of Jingling’s close maid Ajue suddenly came to visit again, complicating the matter.

Lu Yao didn't know how beautiful the daughter of the Xianyu family was; but Hu Liuniang... The leader of Hu Dazhai, who was calling the wind and rain in the Taihang Mountains and overwhelming bandits, was not a gentle and gentle woman. With her hot temperament, if she had a bad temper with Ajue, she would probably have no peace with the county lord. Then Lu Yao could have predicted the tragic situation of war in the house in the future.

Ma Rui rode his horse and followed Lu Yao closely. Seeing that Lu Yao looked wrong, he finally couldn't help but say, "General, I heard that a real man has three wives and four concubines is a common thing, and I also heard that a real man..."

"Shut up." Lu Yao said impatiently.

He has never seen the daughter of the Xianyu family, and his marriage with Hu Liuniang is not as simple as mutual love. However, since he had made a engagement, Lu Yao must treat them sincerely and treat them as his wives, rather than having a pleasant mood. Ma Rui's rude military attitude who does not care about beauty and beauty in his heart is completely helpless in solving his problems.

But when things came to an end, Lu Yao really didn't know how to deal with it. He couldn't help but secretly scold the civil and military officials who promoted the marriage at the banquet that day, and regretted that he was not able to control his impulse. Various strange things might appear one by one in his mind, which was becoming more and more nervous. In his previous life, he was extremely disgusted with various romance dramas. He was so unwilling to see those vulgar and bloody plots being staged by his side. When he marched into Dai County that day, Hu Liuniang's cruel scene of local gangsters was not allowed to see the ruthless scenes of Hu Liuniang cleaning up local gangsters. Although Lu Yao did not witness it with his own eyes, Zhu Sheng's later reposted the story palely was enough to make Lu Yao realize Hu Liuniang's power. Speaking of which, as a bandit with a professional skill tree, the life of Hu Dazhaizhu was not one hundred, and he had to be seventy or eighty... There is no doubt, if only a disagreement, she dared to draw her sword at any time!

Thinking of this, Lu Yao felt that cold sweat almost burst out from his back.

At this time, the gate of Yandufangfang opened wide, and the cavalry team went straight to Xianyu's house. Lu Yao gestured, and Yiqi immediately ran out and asked, "Mrs. Hu and Mrs. Xianyu are back?"

"I'm back, I'm in the inner courtyard..." Now in Jicheng, who else can lead a brigade of cavalry to and from such a mighty way? Although the knights had not signed up, the servants of the Xianyu family guarding the courtyard had already guessed who was. Several people responded one after another, and then rushed to open the door. Before the door was fully opened, the cavalry team entered one after another, with hundreds of iron hooves flying, splashing their bodies all over the soil.

This courtyard faces north and south, three times ahead and back, is not large in scale, but is exquisitely built. It seems that after careful rest and the paint is new. There is an open space in the middle of the courtyard in front to hang a horse, and a stable near the gate. Lu Yao jumped out of the horse in front of the hall, and asked at the servant who ran to lead the way, "When Mrs. Hu and your girl came back, there is nothing wrong with it, right?"

The servant was surprised and said hurriedly: "Mrs. Hu is easy-going and friendly. Today's trip is very pleasant, and there is nothing wrong with it... Oh, by the way, Mrs. Hu brought a girl to chat and laugh happily. It is said that she was her old friend."

"Hmm..." He is easy-going and friendly? Is this definitely talking about Hu Liuniang? It should be true that he talks and laughs very happily, and it seems that he can be relieved... But considering the temper of Hu's village leader, he can't take it seriously. Lu Yao nodded and waved his hand: "I'll go see them, and you'll lead the way!"

Even the personal guards were not allowed to enter the inner courtyard where the family was, so Ma Rui immediately stepped forward and whispered: "General..."

Lu Yao hesitated for a moment before he said lightly: "Everyone should rest, I'll go."

Walking through the front hall, there is a smaller yard. There are wing rooms on both sides, the yard is about three or five meters square. The square bricks on the ground are obviously newly paved, there are some scattered flowers and trees in the yard, and two large water tanks filled with water. There is no main room in this courtyard, only a small courtyard wall. Behind the courtyard wall, you can see the branches of several big trees in the backyard. The courtyard gate is now hidden, and the words of young women are faintly heard in the gap. Lu Yao listens with his ears, but he can't hear what they are saying, but he seems to have a not-so-severe tone. He feels a little relieved, and stops to calm his nervousness all the way, and then takes a few steps to push the door.

As soon as he raised his hand, he suddenly heard the sound of the sharp blade coming out of the sheath in the courtyard. What followed was the dull sound of Lu Yao hearing countless times on the battlefield, which was so familiar to him that the blade was so sharp that he was so familiar!

Lu Yao has so rich experience. He can conclude with this voice alone that this is a long-planned precise kill!

"No!" Lu Yao exclaimed in a flash, kicked the ground and rushed into the backyard.

Lu Yao was originally a warrior who killed the generals and flags on the battlefield. Even though his status has gradually increased, he still practiced hard in daily life and was ready to fight as a sword at any time. Therefore, his martial arts became more mature and sophisticated, and his physical strength was always at its peak. In desperation, this collision was really terrifying. The two courtyard doors were hit by powerful forces and swept open. The door panel hit the walls on both sides, making a loud noise. Then the door shaft creaked twice and broke. The strong wind brought by his figure even roared into the courtyard, raising the remaining snow in the garden that had not been swept away for half a day.

When the snow powder was falling all over the sky, three people appeared.

A girl who was wrapped in a thick fur and looked petite, widening her round eyes, staring at Lu Yao who was rushing in without moving, obviously shocked.

The girl in the palace dress with most of her face was greasy and looked at Lu Yao breaking in, and exclaimed, and swallowed her mouth full of food desperately. But with this action, more oil overflowed from the corner of her mouth, so her whole face became greasy.
