Make peace with the Lord of the Prairie

The horse's hooves sounded fast, and the creaking wheels rolled over the loess on the ground and rolled forward, raising dust all over the place they passed.

Ming Heng was sitting in the carriage, just about to lift the curtain to see where they were going, when he just poked his head, his face was covered in dust, and he coughed uncontrollably.

Tuoba Hong pulled him back, and said helplessly, "The loess is flying outside, don't poke your head out, so as not to eat a mouthful of dirt."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ming Heng stuck out his tongue, spat out a mouthful of yellow sand into the handkerchief, and looked at Tuobahong with aggrieved mouth after spitting out.

Tuobahong laughed, took out a clean handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the dust off his face.

Ming Heng sat next to him, closed his eyes and lowered his head.

Tuobahong chatted with him while rubbing his lips and looking for topics: "What are you thinking? Ever since the second prince's accident, you have been preoccupied."

Ming Heng pursed the corners of his lips, closed his eyes and hummed meaninglessly twice, and after a moment of silence, he said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Didn't I suspect that the death of the crown prince might have something to do with the Second Emperor?" Is it related to brother? I didn’t expect the second brother to have an accident now, and it’s still the same situation as the prince. Do you think it was an accident or man-made?”

Tuobahong twitched his lips: "If it's just the prince alone, it's reasonable to attribute it to an accident, but now there is a second prince, and if it's an accident, even the second fool at the entrance of the village won't believe it."

While speaking, Tuoba Hong also wiped his face, folded the handkerchief and stuffed it back into his arms, and sat back.

Ming Heng opened his eyes, couldn't help but sighed deeply, leaned against the wall of the carriage with his arms around Tuoba Hong's waist, raised his head and asked, "Who do you think it would be?"

Tuobahong sat sideways, leaned his upper body on Mingheng's chest, and tapped his heart with his right fingertips: "Don't you have the answer? Why do you still ask me?"

Mingheng was silent, with a serious face, as if he was thinking about something, but he habitually hugged Tuobahong tightly with both hands to prevent him from being shaken by the bumpy carriage.Tuoba Hong didn't urge him, and lay quietly on his chest, holding Ming Heng's sleeve in his hand and grinding it with his fingertips.

Ming Heng's dazed state didn't last too long, and he quickly came back to his senses in a blink of an eye, and shook his head vigorously, with a sad expression on his face.

Tuobahong smiled slightly, got up from him, and rubbed his head with his hand: "If you have a headache thinking about it, then don't think about it. Whether your brothers live or die has nothing to do with us. It's better to have this spare time." Give the children names."

Mingheng glanced at him helplessly, and retorted in his heart: Why is it okay? Although I don't have a good relationship with those people, I'm still my brother... Wait!The point doesn't seem right.

Mingheng was stunned, raised his head and recalled what Tuobahong said just now, then opened his mouth suddenly, stared at Tuobahong for a long time, pointed at his stomach, and was so shocked that his tongue was tied up: "Children! ?! Two, two?! Here is, is..." The twins couldn't make out the words, so they simply raised two fingers and asked Tuobahong with actions.

Tuoba Hong likes to see Mingheng's stupid look when he is surprised, his eyes are bent when he laughs, he holds his face and rubs it for a while, then nods sympathetically, and tells him: "Yes, yes Two. Although it's a little unexpected, but having two in one pregnancy can save you from the pain of pregnancy, which is quite a good deal."

It's a pity that Mingheng can't listen to anything now, all his attention is on Tuobahong's round belly.There are actually two children here, which is really amazing!

When Mingheng saw that Tuobahong's belly was bigger than that of ordinary women, he suspected twins. In fact, it was just a thought that popped up suddenly when he saw him and He Zexi brothers at that time, and it was not that he was so obsessed with twins.Moreover, speaking of it, the risk of having two in your stomach is always higher than carrying one, so for the safety of Tuobahong, he still refuses such things as twins.

Who knew that the more he was afraid of something, the more he would do something, the casual words at the beginning would come true.Mingheng is now mixed with joy and sorrow, so he looks at Tuobahong's stomach, giggles and sighs for a while, not to mention how rich his expression is.

Tuobahong thought it was funny, pinched the back of his neck and asked: "What do you mean? Didn't you say you want twins? Why are you unhappy when you really have one?"

"It's not that I'm unhappy, I'm just a little worried." Wumeng had already driven the carriage as smoothly as possible, but the uneven road was still a little bumpy, so Mingheng asked Tuobahong to lean against him to reduce the shock, "Having a baby is a There are risks. Ordinary women are very dangerous to have children, but men have children against the sky, and the risk is doubled. In the end, there are still two children, and there are two more risks. This adds up to almost four. Divide the risk. I'm worried."

Seeing Mingheng's frowning face, Tuobahong, who was also a little nervous at first, felt relieved, patted the back of his hand on his stomach, and comforted him softly: "Don't worry, it's okay, there is a doctor with good medical skills in the royal court." Doctor, he was the one who delivered my brother and me back then, and he has experience."

Hearing what he said, Ming Heng felt relieved.

At this time, the carriage stopped.Wu Meng, who was sitting outside the car and driving, opened the curtain and told the two of them: "Khan, Your Highness, the capital is ahead. Just now, King Su's subordinates came over and asked if we should go to Beijing with them or go separately."

Before Tuobahong opened his mouth, Mingheng replied first: "Let's separate. The emperor's uncle came to Beijing under the emperor's order, and someone must have greeted him at the gate of the city early in the morning. It is not suitable for us to go in with them. Wait for them to go in." Let's go in again."

Tuobahong had no objection, so he nodded and waved his hand to let Wumeng convey their meaning.

Not long after, the sound of horseshoes sounded again.

Ming Heng lifted the curtain, and King Su's carriage just passed by, and the other party was also lifting the curtain to look out, as if he had something to say.Seeing Ming Heng poking his head, he stopped the carriage, and spoke a few words with him across the carriage.

"I will go to the palace to meet the emperor, and if there is anything to do, I will send someone to come to the palace to find me. By the way, where will you live after you enter Beijing? Don't go to the Duke of Wei's mansion for now. If Mingzhe really knows about Tuobahong's life experience, he will definitely send him People are watching near the Hou's mansion. How about I ask someone to prepare a house for you."

"Don't bother the emperor." Tuobahong showed his head from Ming Heng's shoulders, and smiled slightly at King Su, "My nephew has a house in Beijing, which is in the west of the city, named Jinghe Garden, where we live That’s fine. If Uncle Huang has something to do, he can also ask someone to find us there.”

King Su nodded first and wrote down the name of the house, then frowned, stared at Tuobahong disapprovingly, and taught him a sentence: "You child is too courageous, under the eyes of the emperor You dare to be so arrogant."

Tuobahong raised the corners of his mouth and smiled innocently, but there was a hint of slyness in his eyes, and explained: "Don't worry, uncle, I didn't show up from the selection of the house to the purchase, and every time I came, I was always Change your name in disguise, no one will find out."

Ming Heng was also busy nodding at the side to testify—that's right, that's right, I think I was fooled by this guy's disguise technique back then, and let him see all the jokes!

Upon seeing this, King Su didn't say anything, and left after exhorting a word of caution.

After King Su's men and horses left, Wu Meng also drove the carriage again, and drove towards the gate of the city at a very slow speed.

When Ming Heng and his party entered the city, there was no sign of King Su at the gate of the city.

Mingheng changed his face and was not worried about being recognized, so he opened the curtain and admired the long-lost Kyoto.

Probably because the two princes had accidents one after another, the capital was not as lively as before.The crown prince had just passed away, and the emperor had ordered the whole country to mourn together, so they couldn't show joy, and they didn't even dare to speak too loudly.

Mingheng and the others rushed all the way from the north, the closer to the capital city, the more mournful the city was.They had been on their way before, and they had no time to stay in the city. Ming Heng didn't have time to stay in the city until he entered the capital. Looking at the sights everywhere, he couldn't help feeling sorry for the prince who died young.

Although the prince has always had a mediocre feeling for his brother, this prince has done a remarkable job.Anyway, his departure is just a big loss to An Ling, and the second prince is also in danger now...

The two beloved sons had accidents one after another, and the father probably was grieving at this time.

Tuobahong didn't know if he had guessed his thoughts, he suddenly held his hand, and analyzed softly: "The crown prince has died suddenly, and the second prince is estimated to have happened in the past two days. The next four princes. The third prince is weak. Whether he can live until the death of Emperor Qianyuan is a problem. It is impossible to give him the position of prince unless it is a last resort. Then only the fourth prince and fifth prince are left. In other words, Your father is also very miserable, and the two most capable sons died. If you want me to say, the talents of the fourth and fifth princes can be seen, but being an emperor is terrible."

Ming Heng sighed speechlessly.Although Tuoba Hong's words were straightforward, they were not without reason.In fact, even he thought so himself.

However, he didn't quite agree with what Ming Heng said later.

After Tuobahong finished appraising Mingheng's remaining brothers, he suddenly turned around and pinched Mingheng's chin and shook it lightly, and said jokingly and seriously: "If you want me to say, if this throne is given to your three Brother, I might as well give it to you, I think you are much more suitable than them."

Mingheng just took a breath, when he heard Tuobahong's words, he lost his breath immediately, turned his head, beat his chest and coughed, finally recovered, and gouged him angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, I can't sit on that seat."

"Who said that?" Tuoba Hong disagreed, "If you become an emperor, you must be a good emperor who loves the people like a son."

Mingheng laughed: "It's not enough to love the people like a son to be an emperor. Besides, I have already been sent out to make a marriage. Will you give me the position? Even if he has this intention, can the civil and military ministers agree?"

Tuobahong rubbed his smooth chin, narrowed his eyes, and said domineeringly: "Just tell me if you want to. If you want to, I will help you win the crown prince. If you don't want to, I will take you back and continue to be a security officer. Tuck the queen in a safe and secure way."

The author has something to say: Tuoba Hong: Do you want to sit on the throne, or do you want to sit on the back seat?

Mingheng: (whispered) I don’t want any of them...
