The prince is very fierce

Chapter 5: Revisiting the old place

The Xiliang army marched towards Guanzhong Road in an orderly manner, while Xiao Qi's building boat sailed down the river and arrived around Chang'an City in advance, waiting for Xu Buling's arrival.

In the early morning, at the ferry near Qingwei Tower, the tower boat docked at the pier.

On the deck, Zhu Manzhi was feeling a little bored and was working as an animal trainer, teaching two dogs to deal with the big white geese. It's a pity that the two dogs were too timid and didn't dare to get on. Angrily, Zhu Manzhi rolled up his sleeves and demonstrated himself, but was chased by the big white goose and ran away all over the boat.

Song Yufu and Lu Hongluan stood together, one looking at Chang'an City in the distance, and the other looking at the northwest. The spring breeze tightened their skirts, outlining their completely different but equally charming figures.

As long as Xu Bu Ling is not around, Lu Hongluan will always be like a stone watching her husband. After looking at her husband for a moment, she said quietly:

"Yu Fu, when will your husband-in-law come back?"

Song Yufu has always respected Lu Hongluan, and her attitude towards her elders has not changed yet. She smiled a little shyly when she heard the voice:

"You have to ask Sister Qiqi about this. I don't know. It should be soon."

Lu Hongluan was just waiting in a panic and asked casually. Xiao Qi has been busy with business recently, and she almost doesn't leave the house, forgetting sleep and food. She has no nerve to bother Xiao Qi because of her lovesickness.

Seeing Song Yufu looking at Chang'an City, Lu Hongluan guessed that Song Yufu missed her mother's family. This trip was not made public, and he just followed the Xiliang army in a low-key manner; Song Baiqing was a court official, so it was impossible for Xu Buling to take Song Yufu back to Chang'an to pay homage to his father-in-law. Thinking of this, Lu Hongluan comforted him softly:

"When you come back from the war, your daughter will be able to take you back to your parents' home. Don't worry."

Song Yufu missed her father very much, but she also understood the priorities and was not thinking about returning to her parents' home at this time. She hesitated for a moment, then approached Lu Hongluan and whispered:

"Sister Hongluan, I haven't thought about my mother's family, but... I'm just curious, what is the relationship between Queen Cui and my husband? Queen Cui calls Sister Xiang'er Queen Mother, and Sister Xiang'er calls her husband, so what should Queen Cui call her husband?" "

When Lu Hongluan heard this, his eyes looked a little strange. He glanced left and right and whispered:

"Let me see. Cui Xiaowan has already boarded the ship. She must have fallen in love with Ling'er. No matter what her status was before, she will be called husband in the future."

Song Yufu was still a little puzzled and asked: "If Queen Cui is also called Xianggong, how should we call Sister Xiang'er? They are legitimate mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Sister Xiang'er also takes care of Queen Cui as a junior. Compared with Sister Qiqi, All enthusiastic.”

How could Lu Hongluan be able to sort out this messy taboo relationship? She shook her head and said:

"Whoever cares about her, she is the daughter-in-law of my Xu family when she enters the door of my Xu family. I am also Ling'er's aunt, and I still call Xiang'er aunt. It is not called sister or sister yet."

Song Yufu nodded and asked: "Then what should my husband call the current emperor? According to King Su, he should be called uncle; according to Sister Xiang'er, he should be called stepson; according to Queen Cui..."

The more Lu Hongluan listened, the more confused she became. She quickly waved her hands and said, "Don't forget it. If the Holy One knows about this, your child will probably be skinned and cramped."

Song Yufu shrank her neck and could not say more. She continued to look at Chang'an City and began to think about this extremely complicated issue.

In the room at the back of the building, everything was neatly packed, even the two beddings were folded exactly the same.

On the terrace, two deck chairs were placed side by side. Xiao Xiang'er was holding a teacup and sipping lightly while talking about the flavored version of A Chinese Ghost Story.

Cui Xiaowan sat next to her, making tea, pouring water and peeling oranges, as if she were serving her mother-in-law, and listened very seriously.

Cui Xiaowan is very introverted. After boarding the ship, she originally wanted to hide it from the girl on the ship, but with such a big person living in the house, her food and daily life could not be hidden. Everyone knew about it the next day.

However, the girls on the boat all knew that Cui Xiaowan was relatively withdrawn and did not like to be with unfamiliar people, so no one bothered her.

Xiao Xiang'er felt that Cui Xiaowan was a pitiful person in the palace, and she was considered an elder. Naturally, she spent these days with Cui Xiaowan, getting along with her day and night.

Although he is very close to Cui Xiaowan, Cui Xiaowan's tendency to get to the bottom of things really gives Xiao Xiang'er a headache. The colorful tails, high heels, etc. that Xu Buling asked her to make were all placed in the house. Cui Xiaowan would occasionally see them and ask curiously what they were used for.

Xiao Xiang'er had to find some lame excuses to explain every time, but Cui Xiaowan was as clear as a mirror and knew that she was lying, which made Xiao Xiang'er always feel like a guilty thief.

After telling the story for a while, Cui Xiaowan accidentally noticed that Xiao Xiang'er would pick up the small mahogany sign around her waist and rub it a few times. The word "正" was engraved on both sides of the sign. She couldn't help but ask:

"Mother, what does the word 'zheng' mean? I think you take it very seriously."

Xiao Xiang'er felt a little hopeless, glanced down and said with a smile:

"It's used to record the weather. Well...every time the water rises, a mark will be engraved on it. I used to hang a lot of these in the palace to record rain, snow, etc., but I didn't take them out."

Cui Xiaowan nodded: "It sounds very interesting. My mother is very good at craftsmanship. Please make one for me too."

"..."

Xiao Xiang'er blinked her apricot eyes, but she didn't refuse. She got up and went back to the house, took out an unused mahogany sign and handed it to Cui Xiaowan:

"It's just a small item. It doesn't need to be made. You can just use it. What are you going to remember? Are the flowers blooming?"

Cui Xiaowan took the mahogany sign and kept it in her arms:

"I haven't thought about it yet. Could you please give me some advice?"

What could Xiao Xiang'er pay attention to? After holding it in for almost a month, her mind was full of the scene when Xu Buling wrote the word "正" on her body. This naturally could not be taught to her daughter-in -law. She shook her head and smiled:

"Keep it for now. When you encounter something interesting in the future, just write it down."

"Interesting things..."

Cui Xiaowan thought about it and nodded slightly...

--------

In March, the land of Sanqin was covered with grass and trees. Dragon flags fluttered on the pass. Soldiers wearing Guanzhong Army armor stood solemnly behind the battlements, watching the black dragon-like Xiliang Cavalry passing through the pass.

The Xiliang Army gathered along the way, integrated 50,000 troops in Qinzhou, and officially entered Guanzhong Road after passing Qianyang Pass, the first pass in the northwest.

Since the founding of Dayue, General Xu Lie led troops out of the pass to open up wasteland. The Xiliang Army rarely crossed this pass again. The last time they passed here was when Su Wang Xu You led more than 10,000 elite cavalry to Qingzhou to "destroy relatives for the sake of justice."

Although he hadn't been back for a long time, the reputation of General Xu Lie had been engraved in the minds of the people of the world. From the Northern Qi to the Southern Yue, many people said they didn't know who the Emperor of Dayue was, but almost no one said they didn't know who General Xu was.

Seeing that the Xiliang Iron Cavalry had returned to Guanzhong again and was about to go to war for the country, the people around Chencang all ran to the banks of the Wei River to watch the excitement.

In order to show the people of Guanzhong the majesty of the Xiliang Army, small soldiers like Ning Qingye and Zhongli Chuchu must not go in front. In front were 5,000 "Hu Ben Cavalry", which had been fully prepared before entering the pass. All the men and horses were wearing full armor, and even the horses had iron masks on their heads. When they walked slowly, the friction of metal and iron and the dull sound of horse hooves hit the lungs directly, which was daunting.

Xu Buling was alone in front, holding a 10-foot-long horse spear in his hand and wearing a white robe, which was very eye-catching among the 50,000 black armors.

Yang Guanyu walked behind him, wearing a tiger-head heavy armor, carrying the Su Wang flag in his hand, and sitting on a jet-black horse, he looked like a foreign demon god. His terrifying physique alone made the people and the Guanzhong army dumbfounded, more eye-catching than Xu Buling.

Passing along the Wei River, Yang Guanyu carried the flag without looking away, but whispered:

"Little barbarian, is this where you were tricked?"

Xu Buling was also looking at a river beach by the Wei River.

Four years ago in the winter, he brought more than a hundred followers to Chang'an as a hostage. When he walked to the Wei River, he was ambushed by the emperor. All the people he brought were killed, and only he and Lao Xiao escaped. That was also where his dream began.

Suddenly walking here again, Xu Buling really felt a bit like a lifetime ago, and nodded gently:

"At that time, I didn't know why I had a high fever and was seriously ill, and I met an assassin and was put under the Dragon Locking Gu. It was Lao Xiao who carried me to kill him."

Yang Guanyu lightly spat, raised his hand and pointed at the 50,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry behind him:

"This time I want to see if that guy dares to send assassins here, and dig up his ancestral graves."

Xu Buling smiled, and did not respond to this "treasonous" remark, and rode his horse past the Wei River...
