Tang Xuan

After half an hour, Lu Lao San yelled and finally entered the door.

"Why are you here?" Seeing the two of them, Lu Laosan didn't feel surprised, but said it was a pity: "I knew you were here, so I would have bought some food."

Lang Huai smiled and said, "Why do my brothers have to meet outsiders? We couldn't think of any other place to go, so we came here to ask for a drink."

"Enough is enough!" Lu Laosan immediately felt happy when he heard this, he untied his outer robe and said, "Sit down, I'll change clothes. The girl must not like the smell of sweat."

Naturally, Lu Mansion is not as luxurious as Mugong Mansion and Weiyang Residence. The dishes are simple, but the wine is excellent Western Region spirits.Seis was afraid that Mingda would not be used to drinking it, so she took some new wine, but she brewed it herself.The wine has only been brewed for a few months, the color is still pink, although it tastes sweet, it also has a strong alcohol smell, Ming Da likes it very much.

Xiao Pocket wanted to taste it out of curiosity, and Ming Da fed him a small cup.Never thought that it would be too late for a cup of tea, and when I tilted my pockets back, I was actually drunk.Seysie hurriedly picked him up, smiled apologetically and backed out.Ming Da felt quite sorry, and said: "Third brother, I didn't know that this wine has strength, and I passed out like this in my pocket, I'd better invite a doctor to have a look."

"It's okay, my son, if you want to be so delicate, why do you want him!" Lu Laosan didn't feel relieved at all, seeing his wife left, he asked Lang Huai: "Ah Huai, do you know the girl?"

Lang Huai understood that he was asking about the jade seal, and said with a smile, "Where did I get such a big face? Naturally, it was given to her."

Lu Laosan said "Oh" and said, "I'll just say it." He scratched his head and said, "Don't worry, things will be much easier with it. Besides, that bastard Liang Qinfang, But relying on His Majesty's favor. If you really talk about prestige, I'm afraid no one in Chang'an City can match you, Ah Huai."

Lang Huai said: "I'm not worried about the failure of this matter. I personally trained the Jinwu Guards. I have a good idea of ​​how to do it. This matter is not about the number of soldiers, but the elite. If Tuoba is not here, it depends entirely on you."

Lu Laosan said seriously: "Yes."

After finishing the business, Mingda smiled and asked: "Xu'er, you are teaching, how do you feel?"

Lu Laosan was taken aback for a moment, and then remembered that Mingda was talking about Li Xun's eldest son, Li Xu, and said, "He can endure hardships and is smart, but he has a bit of a temper." He was straightforward, and then said: "But in my opinion Come on, among His Highness's three children today, that little girl is the strongest. But she is a girl, and she is too young, His Highness is afraid that she will not let her learn martial arts to suffer."

Ming Da said: "You mean Tang'er?"

Lu Laosan nodded, and said: "It's her. I saw her walking and playing, and I think she has very good aptitude." He scratched his head again, and said with a smile: "But I'm a rough person, I'm afraid I can't say for sure. Another day Huai, you can go and have a look to see if I see the right number."

Lang Huai met Li Tang, squinted his eyes and recalled for a moment, said: "I saw her in a hurry last time, but I didn't pay attention. I'll see her next time I see her." After finishing speaking, she looked at Lu Laosan and said: "Is your vision not accurate? I have always been quite accurate."

What is Lu Laosan's background? When she was appointed Jue Feiqiwei, she had already sent someone to investigate clearly. She knew his background and background, but she never revealed it.Today, Lu Lao San said that Li Tang had excellent aptitude, so Lang Huai naturally believed it.

After chatting for a while, seeing the sky getting dark, the two got up and said goodbye.Lu Laosan sent them out, and when he saw that they were riding together, they had gone a long way, so he turned around and went back.

Wrapped in the cloak, Mingda only exposed his head, leaning on Lang Huai's body, feeling warm all over, probably still drunk.Lang Huai was not in a hurry, he walked slowly by the horse and said something in a low voice.

Before the end of the evening, a snowflake fell on Lang Huai's forehead, and it quickly melted, leaving only a wet mark.Mingda leaned over to kiss her, but Lang Huai avoided it with a smile, and said, "It's outside, why aren't you ashamed?"

Mingda pouted, and said: "Whoever wants to look at it will look at it, you are my husband, what's the matter?"

She became delicate and naive, her eyes were like starlight, Lang Huai couldn't help but his heart fluttered, he pressed his forehead against him, and said, "It's nothing, it's just that you're drunk."

Mingda became more and more confused, put his arms around Lang Huai's waist, and murmured something.Lang Huai didn't speak anymore, and rushed back to Weiyang residence in front of Xue Daqian.

She came down with Mingda in her arms, but she was afraid that she would fall asleep and catch the cold, so she wrapped her in a big cloak carefully, as if holding a zongzi.Mr. Zhu was on the sidelines to help, and couldn't help laughing: "Our wife is really weird, how much did you drink?"

Lang Huai said: "It's not much. Later, you took out a change of clothes and brought them over. Your son is sweating all over. If you cover it, you are afraid of the wind and cold."

"Yes, don't worry, Lord." Mr. Zhu thought for a while, and then said: "I didn't expect that Master would not come back to eat today, it will be a bit cold, I'll go and heat it up again, let Sister Lan Jun watch over."

Lang Huai went directly to Tangchi with Mingda in his arms. Lan Jun took the clothes and sent them in, and then went out behind closed doors.Lang locked his arms, and then looked at Mingda who was blushing, feeling a little helpless.

"Sis, are you taking a bath?" Mingda has already untied his cloak, and Mingda is wearing a blue cotton padded coat, which is stretched softly in her arms, bowing his head to kiss her, mouthful of sweet wine, and knowing how to bite her penetrating tongue, but with a light force, like usual intimacy.

The girl finally came to her senses after being embraced by Lang and penetrated into the hot water, and subconsciously leaned on Lang Huai.When she turned her head to look around, she said in surprise, "Are we back?"

"Yes." Lang Huai stretched out his hand to untie the two's long hair, let them float and sink in the water, and said with a smile: "From now on, I have to control your drinking, why do you become drunk like a soft cat after drinking?"

"I don't know either." Mingda got into the water, swam a few laps in the pool before surfacing, and said, "I remember it was snowing just now."

Lang Huai only showed his head, and said: "Well, it's snowing. In a few days, we have to go to Huaqing Palace, where we will spend this year's New Year's Eve."

Mingda walked up to her and said apologetically, "You can't be at home, it's really..."

"What are you talking about?" Lang Huai stretched out his arms, and Mingda naturally leaned over her, with his head against her chest. The wooden sign had been covered with a dark color after years of being close to the body, and it became attractive.Lang Huai caressed her waist from time to time, talking about some idle things in his mouth, which was rarely leisurely.

Mr. Zhu came to see him three or four times, and every time he saw Mr. Lan sitting cross-legged in the outer room, reading the script under the lamp.After a long time, Mr. Zhu couldn't help asking her in a low voice: "Why is it so long?"

Lan Jun ignored it, at this time there was an almost inaudible groaning sound, Zhu Jun was stunned on the spot, hurriedly ran away while hiding his feet and blushing, but couldn't figure it out—is it his master's voice or the girl's voice?

Seeing that Lang Huai led the decree, he was going to leave Chang'an in early December and go to Huaqing Palace.Regardless of the faction of the Ministry of War, they all breathed a sigh of relief.But at this juncture, a censor from Yushitai handed a memorial to Prince Li Xun in the early court, saying that the Ministry of War used the matter of recruiting soldiers to lie about the number of soldiers, falsely receive military salaries, and fill their own pockets.

Between the words, the whole army was like a dog, and even openly provoked Lang Huai in the book, saying that she was young and a general, so she couldn't be a minister.

Although Shangguan Yuan knew that the Ministry of War was almost in Li Qian's pocket, it was rare for Lang to have such a big flaw. He made a decisive decision and said: "There has never been such a thing in the past. The Duke of the State took office and tried his best to increase the number of recruits. Shi Tai is also reasonable. Your Highness, I think the three divisions should conduct a joint investigation."

Li Xun frowned and said, "Liu Yushi, do you have evidence for your slander?"

Liu Mudao: "I am a speech officer. However, I also know that it is a serious crime for a speech officer to catch wind and talk nonsense. I have some evidence, but His Highness still needs to send someone to investigate."

Li Xun rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Mugong, what can you say?"

Lang Huai glanced at the upright Liu Mu, and said, "Liu Yushi, what is your intention to slander me like this?"

Liu Mu said awe-inspiringly: "The road is uneven, someone will shovel it. Since I know about this, I should do the work of the censor, so as to be worthy of this official uniform!"

Lang Huai nodded, and said to Li Xun who was on the imperial steps: "There is nothing wrong with my military department. Please allow the three divisions to interrogate me in order to return my innocence."

Seeing the opportunity, Shangguan Yuan immediately responded: "Your Highness, I also feel that this must be the case!"

Li Xun wondered: "Prime Minister, must it be so?"

Shangguan Yuan's eyes were burning, he looked sideways at Lang Huai, and said: "It must be so!"

"My palace thinks that we should send someone to report to the emperor before making a decision." Li Xun put down the white paper in his hand, frowned and said, "One of the six departments of the imperial court is the Duke of the court. If you say so, you can investigate it. ..."

Before he finished speaking, Pei Qing opened his mouth and said: "Your Highness is too worried, I don't think my Ministry of War will have this matter, please Your Highness allow the three divisions to interrogate, and return the innocence of my Ministry of War!"

Li Xun saw that the opinions of the public were hard to disobey, so he had to say: "In this case, the three divisions will review the case of falsely receiving military pay from the Ministry of War. Liu Yushi is the one who played the role, so he will be supervised by Liu Yushi. Jue Gong is going to interrogate." He clicked on the staff, and said coldly: "The New Year's Day is approaching, and the officers and soldiers of the palace who do not want to leave can't be at ease, so I will only give you ten days to check clearly. After ten days, tell me Palace result."

"Before that, anyone who leaks the case will be killed without mercy."

The officials only said that Li Xun was thinking about Lang Huai, and even Pei Geng relaxed his expression, but no one saw the playful look in Lang Huai's eyes - she just stood up in this play.The ones who are really going to be on stage are the officials from the Third Division just now.

In order to avoid suspicion, Lang Huai naturally stayed in the mansion and stayed at home.The officials from the Third Division who came to question her were also invited into the outer study by her, but it was Shaoqing Xie Jue who came.

Lang Huai didn't talk about official business, he talked about personal affairs first, he only crossed half the threshold, and he said, "I haven't thanked Brother Xie for what happened last time. Brother Xie is coming to the house today, please stay for half a day."

What Lang Huai said was that Xie Jue outside Dali Temple pointed out Mingda's success that day, Xie Jue didn't say much, and said: "You are welcome, the scenery here is unique, and I have a thick skin. I have been thinking about Chen Xiang's good times for a long time , I wonder if there is a chance to see it?"

Lang Huai smiled even more happily, waved his hand and said: "Order, today's lunch will be served at the Chenxiang Pavilion, and prepare a pot of rice wine!"

The two sat down separately as host and guest, but they didn't even mention the matter of the interrogation, they only talked about romantic events and interesting stories from the North and the South.When it was time for lunch, a banquet was really held at the Chen Xiang Pavilion, a pot of aged flower carvings was boiled, seven or eight kinds of delicate side dishes, even Ming Da came over, and the three of them laughed again, not knowing how many people outside the house were waiting for the result.

Xie Jue was a light drinker, after only three or five cups, he was already slightly tipsy.He leaned on the railing to watch the pool, and sighed: "Although it is not the right time, but seeing the loneliness of the remnant lotus here, it should be a big white."

"Brother Xie is a great talent. I have lived here for ten years. I admire this kind of heart." Lang Huai stood aside holding the cup, and said, "Brother Xie is now singing the phoenix, and I am willing to help."

The two of them talked in front of the wind, and their voices scattered into the wind.Mingda looked across the mess, tenderness appeared on his lips, but Lang Huai was the only one in his eyes.
