The country is not as pretty as the beauty

The fighting under the city of Anshi ceased, and the scattered corpses were carried away for burial. There was no clean place on the plain below the city, and the lush grass was now soaked in blood.

After tidying up the battlefield and preparing to return to the court, Yang Wanchun, the city lord of Anshi City, heaved a sigh of relief, so he boarded the tower to resign.

Tian Wuhen led the team under the city on horseback, and felt that Yang Wanchun was a talented person. In the first battle of Liaodong, he attacked several cities, but Anshi defended to the death and appreciated his loyalty, so he turned his head and asked Li Ji to reward him with a hundred pieces of cloth.

In more than September, due to the coming of the cold season, the Dasu army calmly withdrew its troops.

Anshi was defended, and the whole country of Goguryeo celebrated with joy, and Yuan Gaijin also heaved a sigh of relief.

It's just that Goguryeo suffered heavy losses in this battle and lost several cities.

In the frame, he is rarely there, and now he is kneeling and looking at a map with a red circle.

Thinking about how to arrange these places.

A fast horse galloped in front of the marching team and stopped abruptly beside the emperor's car. Nan Wan was awakened by the sound of the horse's crowing.

According to the documents of the imperial court, the content is that Queen Xieying came to pick him up.

The emperor crumpled the paper into a ball, and the expression between his eyebrows could break his heart.

Nanzhao people are good at observation.

"You take a good rest in the car, I asked Zhang Tiao to wait by the frame, if you need anything, you can tell me."

Nan Wan didn't agree or refuse, and he didn't pursue him. He agreed, left in a hurry and rode on Qingzhao, took some cavalry and went first.

Going deep into the land of Liaodong, it will take time to rush back, and it is also the cold period in the north.

Qing Hao's neighing sound is louder than other horses', even the snort is stronger.

The dozens of cavalry led by Shangtian Wuhen on the official road all stopped, snorting one after another.

It turned out that there was a very spacious carriage ahead, blocking the way.

The chain mail army behind the frame, Tian Wuhen knew it was the Habayashi army!

Qing Zai took two steps back, there were only two coachmen, seeing that the cavalry in front of them were too busy to control the six horses.

The car asked the reason softly, but the coachman had already dismounted and all the Yulin soldiers around the frame bowed their heads and knelt down.

Tian Wuhen raised his hand, clamped the horse's belly and let the carriage lead the cavalry away.

The rest of the eunuchs, guards, and the Habayashi Army stood there speechless.

Normally, if the emperor favors the empress, shouldn't he dismount immediately, and then make a good love, envying everyone.

The coachman got in the car and told the previous passage, Tianzhe saw the empress's first gaffe in his eyes.

His complexion changed.

Bai Muxue gathered a little of the clothes on her skirt, and the waves on her forehead could be seen.

Oh, is he guilty?

The queen didn't speak for a long time, and the carriage stopped here all the time, and the coachman didn't know whether to go or return.

Tianzhe probably saw something on his mind, so he said to the outside of the car, "Turn back and chase Father!"

"only!"

The sound of whipping was followed by the voice of people, and the carriage that had just set off on the Youzhou official road turned back now.

Tian Wuhen stopped at the Governor's Mansion, and not long after, the Queen's car followed.

Well, Youzhou is considered a heavy state in the Bohai Sea, but it is rare for the emperor and empress to come together.

Soon the cavalry and the Habayashi army surrounded the governor's mansion to prevent anyone from approaching.

Youzhou is empty now, and the soldiers in Youzhou are still in the army, only the emperor rushed back first.

It is under the city of Youzhou.

Tian Wuhen rode the horse for a day, and both the man and the horse were very tired.

The governor of Youzhou went out with Zhang Jian, and he was also behind. Fortunately, Mrs. the governor was also a big family of the Shandong clan, so she knew what to do.

Put away the largest east courtyard for the emperor to settle down. Youzhou is close to the sea, so it's not that cold.

The door creaked open in the room.

It was different from what he expected, it was not the plain clothes and white clothes he saw before leaving last year.

The phoenix crown, the scarlet court clothes... Tian Wuhen took off the bright light armor and was about to change clothes.

Seeing what she was wearing, he seemed to understand something. She really told herself, who is his wife? When her eyes met, there was a flash of sadness, and he was too busy to look away.

Refuse to look at me?Are you guilty?

He took out the clothes he usually wears on his own, but there was only one piece of clothes left in the bag, and it was also red.

Looking at the red dress with the golden dragon on it, looking at her, it fits perfectly, he swallowed.

—Tap-tap-tap-the sound of soft footsteps stopped, she took the clothes in his hand, untied the tie, and put them on for him.

For a person who has been with him every day, everything about him is in his own hands.

After touching the person in front of him, he lost a lot of weight. Fortunately, he was not injured this time.

After changing his clothes, he coughed lightly, and the maids in the mansion brought soup.

After everyone had left, he asked, "Don't you have anything to ask?"

"Haven't you asked yet?" Bai Muxue wanted him to say it herself, instead of waiting for her to ask.

"You know it all?"

"what do you know!"

He knew that with her intelligence, she would not fail to guess who Yuan Shiqi was.

"I didn't expect that she would be in the army, let alone..."

"Didn't you, you started searching for her many years ago!" She can pretend not to see these, after all, she has been searching for many years without success.

But it's different now, Nan Wan appeared again, and beside him.

"This happened because of me, I will give you an answer!"

"reply?"

I don't know who said again and again that he was not interesting to others, and made exceptions again and again.

Who is lying in the Tianzi's frame now?

You know, from Yuping to Yuzhen for more than 20 years, there has always been only one woman in the frame of the emperor.

If she pretended not to know, then she could really not care.

"Anyway, she saved me, she can't go back to Nanzhao, could it be that I..." Tian Wuhen stood with his back to her and his hands behind his back.

The steam from the soup dissipated little by little.

"Nanzhao can't go back, how is the Central Palace?"

There was a sharp pain in my heart, "It's been 12 years, aren't you trusting me enough?" In the past 12 years, the emperor rejected many women for her, and the women in the harem sent away batch after batch, and the four concubines and nine concubines were all empty.

Don't worry, it's not what she thinks, it's not so much trust, it's better to say it's like fear, because of the relationship of more than ten years, he has become a part of her life, and she is extremely afraid of losing, and she will because of He was worried that he would be jealous of his kindness to other women, especially Nan Wan, who knew that he was a woman but also had the intention of admiring him. How could she not be jealous.

What was waiting were silent tears, tears that made him worry.

How can he be fearless on the battlefield, even facing thousands of troops.But this man's tears are what she fears most.

The cold and hard heart suddenly softened, like knocking over a five-flavored bottle.

He walked over in a hurry, stretched out his callused hand from holding the weapon, and wiped away the tears that could not be wiped away.

"It was my fault, it was my fault."

In this way, her tears became even more, and she was so busy that she embraced her in her arms, hugging her tightly, and he didn't care if the phoenix crown left him.

The faint fragrance of peach blossoms on her body swept away his exhaustion.

"If you don't like it, I'll go back and let her go."

"Don't..." There was a choked sob in his arms.

"Ok?"

"She saved you, it's not good for you to be like this after all."

"Then what do you say?"

"It's fine to do whatever you want, just don't let her appear in front of you in the future."

The coquettish tone in her arms can only be heard at such times.

"Okay, I passed a secret order to Shangguanyi, and when I return to Beijing, let her enter Shangguan's house and become Shangguanyi's granddaughter."

The person in his arms nodded. The daughters of officials are usually raised in deep boudoir without leaving the court.

In October, when the teachers returned to the court, a small carriage secretly drove to the scholar's mansion, and Yao Wang was visiting the scholar's mansion at this time.

Everything in the palace is as usual, but the firewood in the imperial dining room has not been cut off.

The most important thing is to reward meritorious deeds. A damaged booklet records the military merits of personnel large and small.

He recruited Zhang Shigui in Xuanzheng Hall.

"Who is the young general under the city of Ri'an that day?"

Zhang Shigui thought for a while without hesitation, "It's Xue Li under my command."

After flipping through the military merit book, Xue Li's name was very prominent, so he wrote it down.

In the area of ​​Jiangnan, Lai Zixun entered the hall to report the news from Jiangnan. He knelt down on his knees in Tsing Yi and fine clothes, "An Guohou's Mansion has recently gotten closer to Jiangnan's Su family!"

The emperor nodded, and threw him a letter that had just been opened, "Go and find out about Gou Junji's son, and you must get evidence for what he has done in recent years."

"only!"

When Zixun was about to step back and arrange manpower, the emperor darkened his face, his eyes were bloodshot, "Tell Zhou Xing to do Gao Yanshou two people secretly."

Lai Zixun was taken aback, since the surrender of the army, the previous emperor would never have done this, and he did not dare to guess the reason, "Wei!"

In the past November, there have been some small turmoil in the court.

Outside the Taiyuan Hall, hundreds of officers and soldiers lined up in front, and the Son of Heaven was condescending outside the hall, ready to reward meritorious deeds.

In this Eastern Expedition, Dasu can only be said to have won miserably. Two out of ten soldiers were killed, eight out of ten horses were killed, a total of ten cities in Goguryeo were captured, and [-] beheaded.

Regarding rewards for meritorious deeds, Ju Yuan took an imperial edict stamped by the three provinces, and recited sonorously, "Under the sect, Zhang Shigui, the chief of the Liaodong Road, has made the most meritorious deeds, and I pay homage to the champion general."

Zhang Shigui came up to the hall to bow down and receive the title. He was dismissed for no reason, and now he is very grateful for being reused here.

The emperor handed him the seal of the general, and gave him a piece of military talisman, "There is no one in the right guard, and now they are also handed over to the general. I hope the general will not let me down."

Zhang Shigui thanks again.

Soon after the emperor came back, he accused Chen Guogong's son of forcibly robbing the daughters of the people, handed over the crime of homicide to Dali Temple, and finally beheaded it for public display, and executed several generals under the command of the Duke's mansion for connivance.

Cut off the right arm and right arm of Chen Guogong.

"Li Jing, the general manager of the Liaodong Road, broke through Gaimu, Liaodong, Baiya and other cities, and made Li Yan, the son of Li Ji, the Duke of Henan."

"Ren Chengwang Tiandaozong, for his bravery in defeating the enemy several times, bestowed fifty catties of gold, one thousand bolts of silk, and forty slaves."

Apart from rewarding people and things to bring him by his side, Tiandaozong has already ranked as a prince, and there is nothing to reward.

"Where is Xue Li?"

The Son of Heaven went down to the crowd and shouted loudly.

There was a thin young general in the rear army, not tall, not strong, very ordinary.

But the Son of Heaven had seen him, and immediately helped him up with a smile. The danger of that day was vivid in his mind. If it wasn't for this person, he might have escaped death.

"My old generals are all old, the battlefield is dangerous, and it is crucial, so I want to promote some young and brave generals, and I think only you are the most suitable."

The emperor patted him on the shoulder, Xue Liming had already been famous in the army, no one would find it strange that the emperor was like this.

"In this Eastern Expedition, I don't like to win Liaodong, but I like to win Qing!"

After the emperor came back, Ju Yuan snorted twice and read, "Xue Li, under the door, broke Andi, has meritorious escort, and was promoted to the right leader Zhonglang general."

Xue Li was shocked, and bowed his head and knelt on the ground. There were sixteen guards, each with a general, the next was the general, and then the Zhonglang general.

Xue Li was promoted to General Zhonglang in just this one battle, which can be considered very smooth.

"Master, Su Lie, because of his first contribution to destroying the Turks, he is enfeoffed as General Zuo Wuwei." Su Lie took the order to thank him, but his face was not filled with joy.

The battle of the Eastern Expedition spread throughout Dasu. Among them, Tiandaozong and Xue Li's horse riding a thousand horses has become a subject that folk storytellers never tire of talking about.

Even General Su Lie Su Dingfang, who rose to fame many years ago and disappeared within half a year, reappeared now.

Xue Li was decreed by the emperor to guard the imperial city, Xue Li asked to go back to his hometown to pick up his relatives, and the emperor gave him permission.

In the dark secret room below the Jiangnan Hou Mansion, several fish lanterns were extinguished.

The four guards were all in the secret room, and Yang Shiji knelt in front of the portrait for a long time.

A few days later, the Su family in Jiangnan received an invitation letter.

Su Li Feige sent a letter to Chang'an, "Su Bi, my son, don't reply to the letter."

At the end of the year, Su Yunxin did not go back, and accompanied Mu Lingrou to Chang'an for a year. Now Su Bi is well-known in Chang'an City, and his wealth can make Su Yunxin squander his whole life without relying on the Su family.

Su Yun had a bad feeling, he didn't care about Chang'an's many businesses, and he didn't care about what was written in the letter, so he packed up his things and left.

When he left, he left a letter for Mu Lingrou.

The author has something to say: the next chapter is about the ending of Princess Gaoyang of Chang'an City, although she is a supporting role.

Su Yun was heartbroken about this letter, but it was a farewell letter!

love you forever~
