月儿 弯弯照 九州

Wang Shuhua casually threw a piece of snack down, and several ducks swam over to grab it immediately.

Seeing that he liked it, Tian Xu ordered someone to call the duck shepherd over.

Wang Shuhua asked a few questions curiously, and when he learned that there were still ducklings, he turned his head and asked Tian Cong: "Brother, how many ducklings should we raise?"

Tian Cong naturally agreed.

So he ordered An Zhu to pick out a dozen ducklings and bring them back.

The little duck is only two months old, and it is just the time to be cute.

Wang Shuhua took one of the ducklings and couldn't put it down, talking to the ducklings unconsciously and naming them one by one.

Tian Cong stood aside, looked at him and smiled: "Do you remember when you got up with Shuhua?"

Wang Shuhua had an idea: "Tie cloth strips under their feet, and mark the name on the cloth, wouldn't that be enough?"

"Well, what are you going to name them?"

Wang Shuhua turned to An Zhu, "How many did you buy in total?"

An Zhu hurriedly replied: "Master Hui, there are sixteen in total."

Wang Shuhua thought for a while and said: "The name is based on the stars, the Big Dipper, the Southern Dipper, and the three stars of Fu Lu Shou, a total of sixteen stars. Today, let's name them these sixteen stars."

So he ordered people to prepare brocade and ink, and Wang Shuhua personally wrote the names of the sixteen stars on the cloth strips, sealed them with wax, and tied them on the ducklings one by one.

For the time being, they will be raised on the boat first, and they will be released into the water to look for food during the day, and someone will follow them in a small boat, and they will be brought back at night.

Wang Shuhua personally watched the ducklings enter the water every day, and he must wait for them to come back after dinner.

Occasionally, the rain and dew evenly hug this one and touch that one.

There was nothing wrong on the left and right boats, so Tian Cong let him relieve his boredom.

A group of people ate river fish in the boat and enjoyed the scenery of mountains and waters.

In the evening of that day, the two were sitting in the stern of the boat fishing when they received a letter from Qian Junhu.

The letter mentioned that the Yangzhou garrison had sent someone to come down and ask Tian Suo for his opinion.

Tian Cong was overjoyed to defeat the enemy's soldiers without fighting.

After replying the letter to Qian Junhu, he immediately sent a letter to Yan Xiuyong, ordering him to lead the army to take over.

Then he ordered the big ship to wear the moon and the stars to speed up.

A few days later, we arrived in Lujiang County.

Here the peaks and ridges are emerald green, and there are many vegetation.The mountains are rugged and the water is full of streams.

The Jiangnan navy is no different from the northern land warfare. It is equipped with large ships and warships. The ships are equipped with hooks and rackets, and have their own set of tactics.

After Tian Kui made his inspection tour, he ordered Yan Xiuyong to lead [-] soldiers here to learn the methods of water warfare.

He also left Mr. Xia here to take charge of political affairs.

He and Wang Shuhua continued to go southwest with their troops and came to Jiujiang County.

The soldiers stationed in Jiujiang did not rush to attack Jingzhou, but sent people to persuade them to surrender.

King Ping of Jingzhou injured his leg on his return trip last time and has not recovered.

King Cheng of Yongzhou in the west kept sending troops to provoke him, but nothing went wrong because of the favorable location.

At this time, when he heard that Tian Cong was coming with soldiers, his head was as big as a bucket.

Although he has great ambitions, he is not strong enough.

Jingzhou has always been stable and prosperous, and the soldiers are used to being at ease, and they are not willing to go out to fight.

Someone suggested to him that it is better to pretend to accept the persuasion and then marry the princess to him.

Clearly it was surrender, but in fact he took the opportunity to assassinate him.

Once something happened to Tian Cong, the northern states would be left without a master, and chaos would inevitably ensue.

Wouldn't it be easy to seize Qingzhou and Yangzhou at that time?

Ping Wang Tianyi agreed as soon as he heard it, and immediately sent someone to explain his intention to get married.

And sent his prostitute daughter Tian Xiali, Princess Yatong, over here.

Before I went, I gave her a handkerchief and gave her a handkerchief.

The veil was contaminated with poison, if Tian Cong heard it, he would definitely die within a month.

Princess Yatong didn't want to go, but she was not yet married, and all matters were decided by her father, so she had no choice but to obey.

Tian Cong was stationed outside Shou County, and just after waking up from a nap with Wang Shuhua, an envoy from Jingzhou was reported.

Inviting people into the big tent, Tian Cong received the envoy.

After the ceremony, the envoy said: "My king intends to betroth Princess Yatong to you. The two families will become good friends of Qin and Jin. After that, we will offer Jingzhou with both hands."

Tian Kui raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, but Wang Shuhua beside him was startled.

"Princess Yatong has also come with the officials this time, I wonder if the prince is free to meet?"

Tian Kui said: "The princess is exhausted all the way, please go into the city and rest at the posthouse. After the king's discussion, it will not be too late to see you again."

The Jingzhou envoy withdrew.

Tian Cong invited all his staff and generals to discuss the matter.

Everyone advised him to accept this woman. Firstly, he has reached the crown and has not yet married a wife. With the help of such a wife, he will be able to sit more securely in the future; secondly, it is really the best choice to be able to accept Jingzhou without using weapons. .

Tian Sui's face sank like water, and he turned to look at Wang Shuhua: "What do you think of Shuhua?"

Wang Shuhua lowered his head, not daring to look at him, and persuaded him: "This matter is very good, and I hope that the big brother will put the overall situation first."

Tian Sui sneered, his face frosty: "The overall situation is the most important thing!"

Standing up and walking to his side, he raised his hand and said to the crowd: "I only have Shuhua in my life, so there is no need to discuss this matter."

When the words fell to the ground, everyone was shocked and didn't know what to do.

Tian Kui ordered someone to send a message to the envoy to reject the matter, and then ordered everyone to retreat.

After everyone left, he let go of Wang Shuhua's hand.

He also didn't talk to Wang Shuhua, and turned around and sat in front of the desk to read a book.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Yuquan Anzhu, who was waiting at the side, retreated quietly.

Wang Shuhua's face was pale, and he stood there for a long time.

He never thought that because of the marriage with Jingzhou, Tian Cong would say that in front of everyone.

Originally, he was just talking in front of himself, and it could be used as love words between his children.

Success or failure is between the two of them.

Now that he has made it clear, do he really want to follow him like this?

His mind was in a mess for a while, Wang Shuhua didn't know whether he liked him or not, so he couldn't make a decision.

But thinking about the Jingzhou matter, I feel that I still need to persuade him.

Then he came to the desk and said in a low voice: "It's all my fault for my inappropriate words, which made my elder brother angry. I'm clumsy with my tongue, so don't argue with me."

Only then did Tian Cong put down his book, and a pair of tiger eyes looked straight at him: "You are not clumsy, but you don't have me in your heart."

Although he knew the result before asking, he still hoped that he would consider his sincerity and be merciful.

But no.

He was indeed extremely angry, but what he said just now came from the bottom of his heart.

Hearing what he said, Wang Shuhua couldn't bear it: "I'm sorry. But today's matter is of great importance, and there is no love between children. Brother, you are in a high position, so you should be more tolerant than me."

Seeing that he still said this at this time, Tian Sui became even more angry: "I know the word forbearance, because I have no one to rely on since I was a child, so I have to endure. Now that I am in power, can it be that I can't even decide the matter of marrying a wife?" ?"

"How can everything in the world be as you wish?"

Tian Cong calmed down after hearing the words, "How do you know that King Ping of Jingzhou has other plans?"

Wang Shuhua frowned: "Princess Yatong is the daughter of King Ping, would he give up his own daughter to harm you?"

Tian Cong was noncommittal: "There are many cruel people in this world. Didn't you know that I am a good-natured man, but you told me to marry that princess? After marriage, I will definitely not get along with her, and have you ever thought about her?" What will happen?"

Wang Shuhua was at a loss for words immediately: "This...you haven't met the princess at this time, maybe after the two of you meet, you will be attracted to each other, and you don't know."

"What a clever mouth," Tian Cong looked at him calmly and said, "I will find out today that I am so unbearable in your heart."

Wang Shuhua was a little embarrassed, and asked, "Why did the eldest brother say that?"

"Chaoqin Muchu, isn't it unbearable enough?"

Wang Shuhua was speechless, and also felt that he was a little too aggressive, so he could only back down and say, "Since that's the case, this matter is up to you. I just hope that you don't want to say such things again."

Tian Cong hugged his chest and leaned back: "Why?"

Wang Shuhua asked: "Didn't you agree to wait for me? Is this domineering what you call waiting?"

Tian Cong smiled when he heard the words: "That's right. Shuhua, I can wait, but you must be mine."

Wang Shuhua laughed back angrily: "What if I don't answer all the time?"

Putting both hands on the desk, Tian Sui stood up and leaned against his forehead and said in a low voice, "Then I will never marry for the rest of my life. Shuhua, I won't force you, and you shouldn't force me either. Okay?"

With helplessness and pleading in his tone, Wang Shuhua suddenly softened: "I see."

After speaking, he took a step back, turned around and left the big tent.

No one followed, and he rode a horse outside the city and looked at the mountain scenery casually.

He was in a very complicated mood. His feelings for Tian Cong were originally brotherly, but Tian Cong insisted on going a step further, which made him at a loss as he had no relationship experience.

He was indeed happy when the two were together, and Tian Cong was like a dragon and a phoenix among men, which gave him a great sense of security.

Occasionally blushing and heartbeating when getting along, but is that really love?

My own life is not guaranteed, so how can I have the qualifications to talk about love?

Even if they are really together now, what will happen in the future?

Not to mention whether the imperial court can accept a male empress, is his sincerity, can it remain unchanged for a lifetime?

The emperor's family is the most ruthless, once he falls out of favor, will he be a dissatisfied woman for the rest of his life?

But I also thought that Tian Cong said one thing, if he really didn't marry for the rest of his life, wouldn't I have hurt him?

I was thinking wildly while riding a horse, and before I knew it, it was evening.

Without the owner's urging, Fan Yu slowly stopped and lowered his head to graze by the stream.

Wang Shuhua looked up to see the red clouds all over the sky, the clouds curling up and the clouds spreading, the green grass stretching across the sky, the setting sun reflecting the water, and he unconsciously let go of his mood.

No matter what the future holds, Tian Cong always treats himself kindly.

One cannot be ungrateful, no matter what, one should not belittle his true feelings.

After figuring it out, he beat the horse back to the camp, and Tian Cong was waiting for him to eat.

Seeing him coming back, Yuquan hurriedly said: "Third Master, you are back, Wang Ye just said that we should look for you."

Wang Shuhua said with a smile: "It's not a three-year-old child, will it still be lost?"

Seeing his relaxed expression and a smile on his face, Tian Cong finally let go of his concern: "Come and eat."

"yes, Sir."

The two returned to normal, Yuquan and Anzhu both breathed a sigh of relief.
