    In the general's mansion, there was an iron box in front of Yang Rong.

    The surface of this iron box was originally wrapped in thick linen cloth. The surface of the linen cloth has been blackened by thick smoke, but there is still no trace of being burned by the flames inside.

    The box was found by officers and soldiers of Kaifeng Prefecture in a burning inn. When the officers and soldiers entered the inn, apart from a charred corpse, the only thing left in the room was the box placed on a pile of ashes.

    The box was locked, and Yang Rong had already asked someone to break the lock. He gently opened the lid of the box and found that there were only two letters in the box.

    Taking out one of the letters, Yang Rong opened the envelope and took out two pieces of paper filled with tiny handwriting.

    Judging from the handwriting, this letter was definitely written by Zhong Yao himself.

    The letter tells what happened after Zhong Yao and others left Daizhou. This letter is also the first time Yang Rong has heard from Zhong Qian since he met Zhong Qian for the last time.

    Zhong Yao mainly introduced Zhong Qian's situation in the letter. When he saw the end of the letter, Yang Rong was stunned, and the letter paper slipped down between his fingers and fell to the ground.

    Liu Yi, who was standing behind Yang Rong, picked up the letter from the ground, looked at it briefly, and asked Yang Rong softly: "Is this Miss Zhong Qian an old friend of General Yang?"

    "She is my teacher!" Yang Rong sighed, nodded, and said to Liu Yi: "I had an engagement with her, but she finally broke off the engagement, saying she wanted to see this great river while she was alive."

    Liu Yi didn¡¯t say anything, she just stepped forward and put the letter on the table, pressing it down with the lid of the teacup on the side.

    After sitting at the table in silence for a while, Yang Rong reached out and pulled out another letter from the iron box.

    After opening the letter, Yang Rong frowned slightly.  In this letter, everything he wanted to know was written on it. At the end of the letter, the spearhead pointed directly in one direction - Li Jiqian of Xixia!

    The truth has been revealed. After reading the letter, Yang Rong did not dare to delay for a moment, and quickly ordered Chen Rui to prepare and enter the palace with him.

    Song Taizong, who had been waiting for Yang Rong to bring news, heard that the case had been investigated and quickly met with Yang Rong.

    When Yang Rong presented Zhong Yao's letter, Song Taizong frowned tightly after reading the letter and said to Yang Rong: "Are you sure Zhong Yao is dead?"

    What Yang Rong saw was just a burnt corpse, and he was not sure if that corpse was Zhong Yao.  However, he still nodded and said to Song Taizong: "I recognize the handwriting on the letter. I also had some friendship with Zhong Yao in the past. There are some things in the process that only Zhong Yao and I know."

    As he spoke, Yang Rong took out the letter about Zhong Qian from his arms and handed it over.

    After reading the letter, Song Taizong nodded and said to Yang Rong: "Yang Aiqing has worked hard to eliminate the traitors this time. But I can't let you rest."

    Hearing what Song Taizong said, Yang Rong knew that the day for him to leave Tokyo was coming soon, so he bowed and waited for Song Taizong's order.

    "Li Jiqian boldly plotted a rebellion with the intention of murdering the prince and causing the death of King Xu. I specially appointed Yang Rong as the general of the expedition to the west, leading 300,000 Song troops to advance to Dangxiang and kill Li Jiqian!" Song Taizong put the two letters on the  On the side, he stood up and issued an imperial edict.

    "I accept the edict and thank you!" Yang Rong knelt on the ground, received the imperial edict, and stood aside.

    After leaving the palace, Yang Ronggang returned to the General¡¯s Mansion when Liu Yi ran over to meet him.

    Seeing the smile on Liu Yi's face, Yang Rong knew that Song Taizong's decree to make her the Princess of Taiyuan must have been issued, otherwise she would not be so happy.

    Sure enough, as soon as he ran to Yang Rong, Liu Yi said to him: "General Yang, the imperial edict has just been issued, canonizing me as the Princess of Taiyuan, Liu Yi and Xiao Ting have also been made generals, and were assigned to your Xise Army.  Under establishment. The people under me are yours from now on."

    "Haha!" Yang Rong smiled, clasped his fists with both hands, bowed slightly and said to Liu Yi: "I congratulate you, Princess!"

    "There is one more imperial edict." Looking at Yang Rong, Liu Yi's face turned red. She turned around, put her hands behind her back, and said with her back to Yang Rong: "The imperial edict requires us to get married today.  The general is about to lead the army on an expedition and has three days to marry Princess Taiyuan!"

    "Ah?" Although he knew that Song Taizong had promised Liu Yi to let Yang Rong marry Liu Yi after finding out the case of Zhao Yuanxi's murder, Yang Rong didn't expect it to happen so soon. After hearing Liu Yi's words, he had a look on his face.  He said in surprise: "No way? So fast?"

    "Is it possible that the general is unwilling?" Seeing the surprise on Yang Rong's face, Liu Yi frowned slightly and said to him: "This is an imperial decree. Does the general dare to violate the imperial decree?"

    "No, no!" Liu Yi saidAs soon as he said that, Yang Rong waved his hand towards him and said: "I just think it's a little quick, and I don't mean anything else. It's just three days of preparation, but it's a bit abrupt, and I'm afraid I'll treat the princess badly."

    "Stop making excuses!" Liu Yi suddenly turned around, glared at Yang Rong, pouted, and said angrily: "The husband and wife are just sleeping on the same bed. As long as the general marries me, I will be the princess."  I am satisfied, so why did I have to treat this princess badly because I had too little preparation time?"

    Being robbed by Liu Yi, Yang Rong was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "Since the princess said so, I will prepare now. I will marry the princess within three days."

    "That's pretty much it!" Liu Yi pouted, put her hands behind her back, and jumped away.

    Looking at the departing figure, Yang Rong felt so bitter that his gallbladder had burst. Although the wives he had married in the past were all sincere to him, each of them had a slightly violent tendency.

    When he first came into contact with Liu Yi and learned that he would definitely marry her in the future, Yang Rong was still secretly glad that he had finally found a relatively gentle woman.

    But he didn¡¯t expect that reality would hit him much harder than he imagined.  Liu Yi acted very gentle and virtuous at first, but in fact, she was a little pepper who did not belong to Yelu Xiuling and others.

    Full of depression, Yang Rong could not disobey the imperial edict, so he had to leave it to the housekeeper to prepare for the wedding.  Although Liu Yi was the righteous daughter recognized by Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty, she was a princess after all. No matter what, she couldn't be too shabby.

    Yang Rong is in the army. Generally speaking, his expenses are collected from the army.  Most of his salary was distributed to the General's Office in Tokyo.

    Since there is no owner living in the house all year round, the expenses are relatively less, so the General's Mansion is considered to have strong financial resources.

    After Yang Rong explained it, it only took one day for the housekeeper to prepare everything needed for the wedding. All that was left was to entertain the guests and hold the wedding.  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
