Imperial City

Inside the warm pavilion, a silent confrontation was going on between master and servant.

Wei Qi propped himself up on the couch with his elbows to go to his relatives, although it was only for a moment, but after the kiss, he was terrified, his throat was thirsty, his heart was in a mess, and he retreated to the couch to wait for punishment.

The strange touch on his lips just now really made him feel uncomfortable, until his tongue touched his teeth, the weird feeling finally dissipated.

However, the emperor is not always so easy to pass.

The emperor didn't expect him to act like this, so he stopped standing up for a while.

He looked at Wei Qi, really puzzled.

If you say that this person is afraid of himself, but he dares to pull out his teeth, but if you say that he is close and flattering, even though the gift is given and the person is well-behaved, he still feels a little less sincere.

My protection and love can't be exchanged for the sincerity of a slave?

Compared with this, it seems like his wishful thinking, even more eager than this slave.

The emperor got up and sat on the edge of the couch, thinking with downcast eyes.

Under such casual eyes, Wei Qi gradually shrunk himself into a ball, mixed with shame, fear and ups and downs, his fingers curled up and trembled slightly.

On the other side, the emperor's thoughts changed sharply.

Why would I want the sincerity of a slave again?

He turned the jade wrench on his finger, from midsummer to early spring, it will be a year.

For the first time, he was concerned about the fact that he doted on the eunuch.

Most of the slaves have no sincerity. As an emperor, he knows very well that the reason why the people in this palace are obedient and respectful is because they are afraid of life and death and respect the imperial power.

His gaze turned to the carved vermilion lacquer window, on which was printed Anxi's slightly hunched figure.

He put the only servant in the palace who was really close to him by his side, now is he looking forward to having a second one?

Wei Qi lowered his eyes and pursed his lips tightly. He has a delicate face, usually calm and calm, but now his blushing looks childish.

Still too young, seventeen or eighteen?

The emperor stretched out his hand to caress Wei Qi's drooping face, and the face of Yupan's fingers was slightly cool, causing the hot person to tremble slightly.

"Do you want to accompany you?" He asked suddenly.

In fact, I have already made up my mind at this moment, if I still get a shitty response like it's all up to the Holy Spirit, then leave the person in the palace and let it fend for itself, it's too boring to keep raising unfamiliar things all the time.

The emperor's heart is cloudy and uncertain, Wei Qi is a small slave, and he is struggling to survive until now, relying on his keen intuition like a young animal.

This question is not like the way the Holy Majesty used to do, so he replied: "If you answer the Holy Majesty, the servant is willing to accompany you, and the servant wants to accompany you to watch the spring outside the palace."

The palm attached to the cheek paused slightly.

The emperor bowed and approached, "In that case, I promise you to accompany me."

not stupid.He is young now, maybe in a few years, when he is older, he will be able to understand the ways of the world better, and it is not impossible to take Anxi's position in the future.

"Slave thank you for your grace."

It turned out that the Holy Majesty was teasing me just now.

Wei Qi turned from sadness to joy, dazed, as if he found his way through the fog, touched the holy will, and found the emperor's heart.

Three days later, Yu Jia left the palace.

The Mulan paddock was located in Rehe Shangying (now Chengde, Hebei Province), about 350 miles northeast of the imperial city.

If the emperor's ceremonial car is arranged according to the etiquette system, it will take half a month to arrive. Although there are more than [-] palaces along the way, it is still cumbersome.

Therefore, the emperor ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to simplify all the light vehicles and must arrive at Rehe Shangying within ten days.

The palace was busy, with princes and ministers, the Twelve Banners Forbidden Army, descendants of the royal family, more than ten thousand people, no matter how simple it was, the battle would not be small.

The emperor rode a horse, and the imperial chariot went first, leading the elite soldiers to Rehe as scheduled ten days later.

The ministers and servants in the carriage stayed behind, and it would take two days to arrive.

Wei Qi was bouncing around in the carriage all day, it was fresh at first, and he felt that everything was strange, so he raised the curtain of the sedan chair to look around.

A few older servants on the same ride laughed at him, saying that he should be tired in a day or two.

Wei Qi is in high spirits, flowers and plants are flourishing in spring, although pedestrians need to avoid driving, and he can't see any living things, he is very content.

Furthermore, staying at the Xinggong Station every day without sleeping in the wild, how could it be as hard work as others said.

He was so naive at that moment, it was worth it no matter how tired he was to escape from the imperial city.

Wei Qiwai was tossing and turning in the car, the further he went to the back, the more remote the road became.

Hearing that the Holy Majesty had arrived in Rehe, he didn't want to take a carriage, but mostly rode a horse, and he didn't know how he survived.

Apart from resting along the way, I never stopped in the palace, and even after passing through the Summer Palace (Rehe Mountain Resort), I only stopped for a day.

If the ten days are spent jolting on horseback, I don't know how hard it will be.

The emperor was indeed very tired. Although he was born in martial arts, he also practiced riding and archery every day. After all, he hadn't fought for a long time, and he was not as strong as before.

It's just that he was dissatisfied and was trapped in the palace for a long time. Seeing that his former subordinates were still capable, only he, the emperor's general, was the weakest, so naturally he didn't want to bow his head and admit defeat.

He abandoned his luanjia and rushed to the Mulan paddock with all his strength, entered the tent set up in advance, collapsed on the couch, and fell asleep.

When he woke up, it was already five hours later, and it was getting late. The former personal guard uniform, the emperor slapped the human armor with his palm, pointed at the uniform and said: "Don't wear this, take my armor."

The guards responded, the emperor wore dark black armor, had a hasty dinner, and went out of the tent to inspect.

The Mulan paddock is surrounded by more than a thousand miles and covers an area of ​​more than 1 mu (more than [-] square kilometers).

Standing in the north is the Xing'an Mountains, where all spirits are gathered, high above the dome, the mountains are divided into trunks, the valleys are courted, the products are rich, and the livestock are raised.

The paddocks are divided into 72 according to the topography and prey species. The southeast is the lake area, the northwest is the mountainous area, and the northeast is the grassland.The terrain is complex, with mountains, canyons, hills, and grasslands. It is really a treasure land. Every time I come here, it is an excuse to hunt. In fact, it is not just for hunting, but more for training and picking generals.

In addition to military training and warfare, the more far-reaching use is to subdue Mongolia and stabilize the border.

This place controls Mongolia in the north, arches the capital (now Beijing) in the south, connects Shengjing (now Shenyang) in the east, and borders Chahar (now Zhangjiakou) in the west. Every time the emperor comes here, nobles and kings on the grasslands all come here to bow down and pay their respects.

During the hunting period, the emperor will hold a banquet for his ministers and reward the Mongolian frontier to promote exchanges between Manchuria and Mongolia.

At this moment, tens of thousands of camp tents have been set up on the grassland, and with candlelight lit, they surround the imperial tents in the middle and protect them tightly.

The emperor looked around and saw that the tents were neat and orderly, and he saw that the patrolling guards marched in order, with awe-inspiring aura, silently revealing their strength.

It was a joy for a while, the closer the army was to the imperial tent, the closer they were to him when he was leading the army. In the past five years, this army has not let up, which is really good.

The emperor got on his horse and led a group of imperial troops out of the camp to see his grassland, his beautiful rivers and mountains.

The spring breeze at night on the prairie was refreshing, and he let his horse rein freely, lazily watching the beautiful scenery leisurely.

Even though it was night, there were patrolling guards in the paddock, and the surrounding area of ​​the camp was brightly lit, and the hazy mountains standing in the distance also looked very interesting.

Two days later, Anxi led a group of servants to the camp to pay their respects.

At this time, the emperor has not yet returned, so several imperial princes are outside the tent.

It didn't take long before he heard the neighing of horseshoes not far away. The emperor led a group of imperial guards to stop their horses, got off their horses, and walked towards this end.

Armor added to the body, the momentum is too strong, and the eunuchs who can be called deep purple palace costumes are even weaker.

There are soldiers all around, and unlike in the palace, when these soldiers leave the imperial city and enter the grassland, they are like fish on the shore throwing themselves into the sea, showing even more majesty.

The emperor glanced at the servants outside the account, "Come in."

"Hey." Dozens of people responded in unison, even if they were tired, they could only hold on.However, the sound was too weak, and there were all men here, and the strong men overwhelmed the eunuchs who could not be called men, and even Anxi was not as confident as when he was in Qianqing Palace.

Wei Qi's face was very haggard. Whenever he couldn't help but want to relax, but when he saw the guard standing upright beside him, he straightened his back subconsciously.

It was caused by inner demons, knowing that he couldn't compare but couldn't let it go, and wanted to save face.

In the tent, Anxi waited on the emperor to change his clothes. The armor was difficult to remove and was heavy, so it was a bit difficult for him alone.

The emperor only stayed in the grassland for two days, and his temper has become as rude and straightforward as a general, and he doesn't look down on procrastination in everything.

He was a little impatient, seeing that An Xi was weak, he wanted to tell people to stop and take it off by himself, but his eyes caught Wei Qi inadvertently, and he changed his mind again.

A few days ago, didn't he still want to let someone take Anxi's place, so now he is taking it out to practice.

"You come too, you are so young, you only know how to be lazy, and I still need to talk about such things."

Everyone knew who they were speaking to with such endless and intimate words, so no one moved.

Wei Qiying said that it was clearly not his fault, but he also felt guilty, thinking that Yuqian is indeed the youngest, so he should take care of the seniors and do more.

Wang Fugui stayed in the palace to guard, and the most caring subordinate of Mr. An was not there, so why couldn't he be smarter and help him.

He stepped forward and leaned closer to untie the armguards and vambraces hanging from the emperor's arms.

It's really...heavy, how can I walk with such a heavy metal thing on my body? Is it a protection or a burden?

Wei Qi moved silently, his mind flying into the sky.

It's hard to stop the march, and we haven't seen each other for two days. Now that the emperor has settled down, he will have the time to take a closer look at people.

He seemed to be thinner again, and his expression was also trance-like and sleepy, and he looked dumbfounded.

He went out of the palace and stayed with Wu Fu every day, and his behavior was a little unruly.

He slapped the person's head with his idle hand, and said: "It's more refreshing, it's big, it's not good." How can you be so weak, and how can you take on important responsibilities in the future.

He didn't feel that his own strength was heavy, but Wei Qi's brain was numb.

Dizzy, I heard the emperor say that although he is young, he is not good, and he pleaded guilty in his mouth, but his heart was stabbed, and he was not very comfortable.

Wei Qi lifted his spirits, held his breath and undid the armor with a clatter.

An Xi glanced at him, feeling that the boy was too stupid.

The siege has been completed in the past two days, and the siege can be opened the next day, and Wei Qi and others can rest for a day.
