Chapter 19: Li Qingzhao and Princess Zhao
he will kneel on the ground and beg me!"Wang Po's face was flushed with triumph, as if she had already won.Then, I guarantee that the high-ranking officials and madam will live together happily ever a...This martial arts master was fearless, no one could control him. But in front of his own older brother, he behaved like a well-behaved three-year-old.
Wu Chao pulled Wu Shuo to the alley next to them, and Zhang Gongnian followed.
"To kill Wang Po is not just a matter of raising your hand." Wu Chao looked at Zhang Gongnian and said, "This group of bandits on Qingfeng Mountain are full of evil deeds. These people were a gift to County Magistrate Chen and County Captain Zhang before our two brothers entered the county government!"
Zhang Genyuan excitedly cupped his hands and said: "Big Brother, if you can really wipe out these bandits from Qingfeng Mountain, I will definitely help you become the first Chief of Guards!"
Wu Chao's mouth twitched slightly, smiling without saying a word.
What a bunch of nonsense about the first-rank officer, he couldn't care less. What he did was merely using soldiers to eradicate these bandits!
Wu Chao still remembers Wang Ying saying that he was Song Jiang's younger brother before being killed by a tiger.
What is Song Jiang
That was for the sake of so-called verbal loyalty, to maintain their reputation as "heroes who protect each other" and "timely rain", they would kill and set fires, doing anything they could!
Though they haven't met face to face yet, the grudge is already formed!
Whether Wuchang wanted to or not, he and Song Jiang's group were already on completely opposite sides!
So, all that Wu Chao could do at the moment was to rally those he could rally.
Establish your own power, challenge the heavens, and compete with people!
The three bandit leaders of Qingfeng Mountain were Jin Mao Hu Yanshun, Ai Jiao Hu Wang Ying, and Bai Mian Langjun Zheng Tianshou. They were all part of the 108 Liangshan heroes and loyal followers of Song Jiang!
Liangshan 108 heroes, apart from a small number of truly capable ones, are mostly nothing but flatterers who curry favor with the powerful, engage in petty intrigues and backstabbing, are selfish and cowardly, and utterly incompetent!
And next, Wu Chao is going to dig up, break apart, and cut off the foundation of these 108 Liangshan heroes one by one!
Once he has his own hands on it, even if the Emperor himself came, he wouldn't be afraid!
When Wǔ Chāo and Zhāng Gēngnián were plotting, Xiǎo Táo quietly came to the relay station and sent a letter by express mail to the Lǐ family in the capital.
From Yanggu County to Kaifeng, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, is about 400 miles. A fast horse could deliver a single letter in just over half a day.
Kaifeng Mansion, the Li family.
After Li Gefei's death, his elder brother, Li Gang (pronounced "hang"), took charge of the family.
If such a situation were to befall any household in the Song Dynasty, I'm afraid no one would dare approach her again.
But at this moment, within the Li family's courtyard, there was the sound of silk and bamboo music, laughter and chatter, and the flowing of water in cups.
A group of young women were gathered in the garden, enjoying flowers, wine, and poetry.
At this time, a beautiful woman in fine clothes walked among the crowd of women.
She appeared to be sixteen or seventeen years old, with bare white feet. A very delicate little bell was attached to her left foot; with every step she took, it tinkled softly, giving off a pure and ethereal sound.
She walked, nodding slightly as she recited softly.
Last night the rain was heavy and the wind blew fiercely. After a deep sleep, I couldn't get rid of the lingering effects of the alcohol. I asked the person behind the curtain who lifted it, but they said the begonia flowers were still there. Do you know, do you know It must be that the green leaves are plump and the red petals are thin.
At the edge, someone hushed and said, "Princess Fukang is reciting Sister Ying's poems again. Is she having a lovesick phase"
This gorgeously dressed young girl is Princess Zhao Fuying, the most beloved daughter of the current emperor. When she heard someone making a joke, she immediately pounced with claws bared, wrestling playfully with another unmarried girl until they were both laughing hysterically together.
"Ring ring…"
Accompanied by the sound of jade chimes, a woman in a beige dress approached to stop her.
"Alright, alright, stop fighting! What if someone gets hurt If you get injured, you'll be worried about not getting married like me."
She pulled Zhao Fujuan up and brushed the dust off her.
Her brows were distant mountains, her face like polished jade, and her lips held a crimson bloom, just like the most eye-catching flower in a myriad of blossoms. Every word she spoke was fragrant and alluring.
"Your Highness, although your prospective husband is not at my residence today, if word of this gets to him, it would be most unbecoming."
Zhao Fuying let out a delicate giggle: “Hmph! Your cousin Cai Jiao (tiao) is just average. This princess doesn't look down on him at all. When this princess finds someone better, I'll kick him to the curb.”
This Cai Shang is the son of Cai Jing, the Grand Master!
He is also a well-known talented young man in Tokyo, handsome and elegant. I don't know how many people want to be his woman.
A woman in fine clothes smiled and said, "Your Highness, if you want to find the best of my cousin in Tokyo City, I'm afraid it will be difficult."
"If Tokyo Castle can't be found, then the princess will go outside!"
As they were speaking, a maidservant rushed in.
She carefully presented a sealed urgent letter to the elegantly dressed woman.
"Second Miss, this is an urgent letter from Wu Family's niece in Yanggu County."
This elegantly dressed woman is Li Qingzhao.
Li Qingzhao and Wu Meizhi's mothers were cousins, and their families were very close when they were young. They often lived together, ate together, discussed poetry and books, and were inseparable.
Even after Wu Yuemei married far away to Yanggu County, the two cousins still corresponded frequently through letters. However, this was the first time she had received an urgent letter.
Li Qingzhao opened the envelope and read it carefully. Her brows furrowed, and her face immediately darkened!
Few people had ever seen Li Qingzhao so serious, this was the only time, also when Li Qingzhao decided to divorce her husband!
Zhao Fuju brought her cute little head closer and asked, "Sister Zhao, what happened"
"Today's poetry session comes to an end. I won't be home these next few days. Upon my return, we shall continue with our poems and wine."
Zhao Fuying grasped Li Qingzhao's sleeve and asked, "Sister Zhao, please tell me what happened."
"Your Highness, it's getting late. You should return to the palace first. Come here, escort her!"
Seeing Li Qingzhao leave with a face ashen, Zhao Fuying's bright eyes sparkled with curiosity.
"I've never seen Sister look like this before! Something interesting must have happened!"
"Humph, how could this princess miss out on some fun!"lf of Wang Ying's shoulder was ripped off!"Ugh!!"A heart-wrenching scream, echoing through the mountains!"Don't kill me, don't kill me!"Known as "Little Bear" by his comrades, Wang Ying was terrified,...
