Lintai Storm Record

.Song Qianzhi secretly thought that it would be a waste of talents to let Xu Ruiyun be a sergeant in Xunzhou.

Xu Ruiyun snorted: "My father has repeatedly made outstanding achievements in the ten-year-long battle against Amodanjung, and won the respect of General Bai. He just made a trivial mistake. General Bai has strict military discipline and sent him away. I was transferred from the northern line and sent to Xunzhou. I also went to Xunzhou with my father, but my father contracted beriberi and died. My mother still doesn’t know that my father died in Xunzhou.”

"You still have brothers in the Baigu Youjun?"

"Of course there are. I was only 13 years old when I was in the Zhenbei Army, and I was already twenty when I came to Xunzhou. Of course the Zhenbei Army has my brothers who died, but I can't tell you their names."

Song Qianzhi said: "That's not necessary. Is there any news about Zhenbei Army recently?"

"Even people can't pass through, let alone fish and geese. Since the start of the war, the three harriers I raised have all been shot to death. It will take time to train new harriers. Now there is no condition." Xu Ruiyun said, "If Get out of here, preferably just the four of us."

Xu Ruiyun glanced at Liu Pingwen, and changed his words: "Xunzhou Zhizhou entrusted his son to you, Brother Song, and you should also take it. As for that idiot, leave it to Sun Yi, and he will take good care of it. When the war is over, come pick him up again. "

"No." Before Song Qianzhi could speak, Lu Guan almost immediately rejected Xu Ruiyun's proposal.

"Who the hell is that idiot?" Xu Ruiyun said impatiently, "I've seen you guys sneaking around a long time ago, why did you take a idiot on the road, don't tell me about Tuogu, you won't even believe it."

"Li Xuan is the son of the late emperor."

Lu Guan didn't have time to stop Song Qianzhi.

Xu Ruiyun was stunned.

"That fool, he is the illegitimate son of the late emperor."

Xu Ruiyun opened his mouth wide, he couldn't accept it. Emperor Rongzong was a well-known powerful monarch, and his love for the Empress Dowager Zhou had become a popular story among the people. Hearing that he had an illegitimate child, Xu Ruiyun couldn't recover for a while.

Song Qianzhi immediately dropped another firecracker: "The first emperor also left a will, which will be passed on to him."

"Chasing the stars!" Lu Guan cast his sharp eyes on Zhou Xian.

Zhou Xian raised his hands: "Hey, don't care about my business! I didn't say anything."

Song Qianzhi frowned, his eyes gradually widened, and his mouth became dry.

"It's really written like that? Is it fake?"

Xu Ruiyun: "Fake. Pass it on to a fool, unless the first emperor is crazy!"

"The first emperor is not crazy." The plan is done, and the water is hard to recover. Although Lu Guan feels a headache, he also knows that Xu Ruiyun is useful, and Xu Ruiyun is also difficult. If he doesn't answer this question clearly, Xu Ruiyun may do something that makes him even more headache at any time.

After sorting out his mood, Lu Guan relaxed his shoulders and motioned Song Qianzhi to pour him a glass of water.

Liu Pingwen graciously poured a glass of water for Lu Guan.

Lu Guan: "..." He almost forgot that there was another person in the room.

"He appointed four assistant ministers, and asked these four to assist Li Xuan until his madness was cured."

"It can't be cured?" Xu Ruiyun wondered.

"If it can't be cured, pass the throne to Li Xuan's eldest son." Lu Guandan said, not surprised by such a thing.

Song Qianzhi felt very strange, but he didn't express his doubts, he just asked casually: "Confirm that the will is true?"

"The handwriting is the same as Rongzong's." Zhou Xian, who was born in Qilin Guard, said.

"So the idiot has to be taken away?" Xu Ruiyun still hasn't recovered from the unbelievable shock. He stood up, propped up the table with one hand, and rested his forehead with the other. Come back, don't let go, little brother Liu, help me." Xu Ruiyun took the opportunity to take Liu Pingwen away.

Zhou Xian looked at the other two, and said consciously: "Or... I also have a headache, so go out slowly?"

Song Qianzhi: Is it so obvious that I have something to say to Lu Guan alone?

After the extra people voluntarily withdrew, Song Qianzhi just moved half a step in the direction of Lu Guan, but he hadn't turned his whole body around yet.

"The names of these four people are in the will, including Bai Guyou, I will show you later."

Still very conscious.

"Don't you think it's strange? Li Xuan is already crazy. If the auxiliary minister is in charge of state affairs, the emperor is just a puppet. Whoever does it can't do it. Why must it be Li Xuan, and the throne must be passed on to Li Xuan's son. Not yet Passing on to the eldest son, but only to the eldest son of the emperor, why is there such a hurry when it comes to bloodlines?"

"Why do you think?" Lu Guan also felt strange when Song Qianzhi said this.

"Ewha An. Who is Li Xuan's mother? Do you remember that Rongzong's mother and concubine were made queens because they gave birth to a boy, and then Rongzong was made a prince." Song Qianzhi said, "If Rongzong's mother and concubine gave birth to a daughter?"

"How is this possible?" Lu Guan's words came to an abrupt end.Nothing is impossible, Song Qianzhi knows much more than him when it comes to palace secrets.

"Li Xuan went crazy after being greatly stimulated. His children will not be born crazy. Li Xuan can't govern by himself, and he is still allowed to be the emperor. He even appointed Li Xuan's eldest son to succeed him from generation to generation." Song Qianzhi's eyes became clear, "What matters is Li Xuan's bloodline, not himself."

☆、Orthodoxy ([-])

"You mean, Rongzong doesn't have the blood of the Fu family. He passed the throne to Li Xuan because Li Xuan's mother is a real royal family." It is not a coincidence that Rongzong will give birth to Li Xuan with the grown-up princess, it may be a design."

Song Qianzhi shook his head: "I have read the records of Rongzong's life. I often met this uncle when I was a child. He is strong, dignified, and has a strong desire to control. Even if someone designed the princess to conceive a child, he still has a lot of power. If you have the opportunity to kill Li Xuan, you will not make such a will. If you only want to protect this illegitimate son, you can just give him a throne. Wu Yingzhong takes Li Xuan away from the capital and you don’t have to go back. Such a will , entrusted to a loyal minister who is willing to protect each other with his life, he really wants to make Li Xuan the emperor. But Li Xuan is already crazy, and the grandson who is designated to inherit the great line from generation to generation, the eldest son of the emperor may be the eldest son or the bastard , Rongzong is very impatient, regardless of qualifications or mother's family status, as long as he wants Li Xuan's first son, he must be made the crown prince. It shows that Rongzong doesn't want any accidents, so as not to have long nights and dreams."

"Even if it's for the bloodline, it's too hasty." Lu Guandao, "If Li Xuan's son is an idiot, pass it on to him?"

Song Qianzhi sighed: "If blood lineage was the late emperor's heart disease, then this secret has been suppressing him all his life. At least when he wrote this will, he can let go of the burden in his heart. As for whether Li Xuan is really If he can return to Beijing to be the emperor, the first emperor probably did not expect that he would die so soon. After all, when Li Xuan left the capital, brother Hong had an accident for a few months, and the first emperor still had enough time to prepare and consider, and even set up a new Also, if our previous guess is correct, Li Xuan poisoned the crown prince's horse, and the crown prince died because of falling from the horse. Although he is crazy now, his feelings for Brother Hong are obvious. In this violent Stimulated, Li Xuan went crazy. As long as the late emperor was an individual, he would not have no regrets, not to mention that Li Xuan should be the son he owed the most, and his identity could not be recognized. , and this is also one aspect.”

Lu Guan didn't say a word, just stared at Song Qianzhi intently.

Song Qianzhi's face flushed slightly: "What are you looking at..."

"The person I like is so smart, it makes me feel a sense of crisis."

Song Qianzhi's ears turned red, and he coughed: "I haven't read the will. I wanted to scare Xu Ruiyun. He probably doesn't want to take Li Xuan with him. After all, he is crazy, and the road will be very troublesome."

"It's not him who is in trouble."

"Yes, it's me."

"I don't bother you either. That lunatic treats you like an old prince and wants to give you his heart. The trouble is me. If it wasn't for Uncle Wu's entrustment, every time he comes to hug you, I want to chop off his hands." .”

Song Qianzhi: "..." Said that you are jealous of a madman and still don't admit it.

"Have you finished speaking quietly? After I finish speaking, let me tell you about my decision." Xu Ruiyun slowed down, pushed the door open, knocked on the door, came over and sat down carelessly, "The lunatic wants to take it, the land is too slow, and the water is risky, please hurry or Be safe? Also, a lunatic has to be supervised all the way, I have no patience, I don’t care about him, it doesn’t matter to me if he gets sick, hungry or thirsty on the way.”

Song Qianzhi: "Okay, it's enough for you to take care of Liu Pingwen."

Liu Pingwen protested: "I can take care of myself."

Song Qianzhi ignored him, took out a pen and paper, and the three of them discussed the route to go north. Gradually, there were voices outside, as if Sun Yi had brought someone back.

Under the undisclosed guidance of Lu Guan and Song Qianzhi, this route will pass through the territory of King Dongming. Fortunately, there is no detour from the map.

Sun Yi pushed the door open with a bad face and came in. Song Qianzhi was scrolling through the map, but Xu Ruiyun snatched the map and stuffed it into his bosom unexpectedly.

Song Qianzhi: ... Anyway, he has already remembered it all.

"I'll send a team to escort you." Sun Yi said gruffly.

"No, too many people are in the way." Xu Ruiyun refused without hesitation.

Sun Yi's face became more and more gloomy, and he wanted to say something, but he looked around and finally didn't say anything.

After being tired all night, everyone needed to rest. Song Qianzhi woke up after sleeping for an hour. Lu Guan just came back from the outside, carrying a blackened medicine pot in his hand, followed by a middle-aged man.

It turned out that Lu Guan went to the doctor and asked the doctor to test the residue left by the medicine Li Xuan usually took. He searched carefully in Uncle Wu's burnt house, but he couldn't find the prescription, so he had to use this stupid method.The doctor is an ordinary doctor, and what he sees most on weekdays is just some cold and cough.

Song Qianzhi had no hope at first, but he didn't expect that when the doctor saw Li Xuan, his eyes lit up immediately, and he slapped his forehead, saying that he had seen Li Xuan's illness.

With the residue Lu Guan found, the doctor wrote down a prescription.

"If I remember correctly, this is the prescription that Lao Wu asked me to grab. It is much better than what I can prescribe." The doctor asked where Wu Yingzhong was, and when he learned that he was dead, the doctor was stunned. Immediately, his eyes turned red, and he sighed a few words about the impermanence of the world, and resigned after receiving the consultation fee.

Dinner was very early that day, but Sun Yi still provided them with good horses and dry food. Sun Yi didn't say a word to Xu Ruiyun when he parted. disappeared from sight.

There are few people, the target is small, and they are traveling at night. The first night was safe and sound. The next morning, they found a town to rest and feed the horses. Suddenly, a heavy rain came, and several people braved the rain with their coir raincoats.

Li Xuan couldn't leave Song Qianzhi for a moment, and he couldn't ride alone, so he could only ride with Song Qianzhi.Li Xuan seemed to be very afraid of Lu Guan, he behaved well all the way, and when he got off his horse, he would go around and hold Song Qianzhi tightly to accompany him.

The land route is very difficult. I went up the mountain before dawn on the fifth day, and I was still in the mountains after dark. I was unlucky and didn’t find a cave, so I could only sleep on the ground. Mosquitoes only bite people with delicate skin and tender flesh. Three bumps the size of thumbs swelled up on Xiaobai's face.

"I told you that applying saliva can relieve itching and reduce swelling..." Xu Ruiyunfei pressed Liu Pingwen on the ground to smear his neck and the mosquito pack on his face. In front of Liu Pingwen, the large white neck and the smooth skin as tender as a girl almost made him feel like a beast.Fortunately, Xu Ruiyun reined in the cliff and didn't move his hands. In the next few days, he forced Liu Pingwen to try not to look at this little boy.

The weather was getting hotter and hotter every day. After five days of walking on the mountain road, Liu Pingwen and Li Xuan both fell down on the way down and got covered in mud.

On the first night after walking out of the mountain, he arrived at Qizhou city. No one expected that he would run into Long Jinshan in Qizhou. He was dressed in black armor and led a group of subordinates through him majestically.

Song Qianzhi and the others sat at the tea stand by the roadside to rest.

Long Jinshan walked over with a blank expression.

The whole city of Qizhou seemed to be clean and tidy. After dark, the city was very quiet.All merchants staying in the hotel must register their real names, origins, and leave a fingerprint.

The room is not big, but it is fairly clean. Song Qianzhi is generally satisfied.He washed his hands first, and then called Li Xuan over to wash his hands. Li Xuan was a year older than Song Qianzhi, but his eyes were full of trust and trust. Whenever Li Xuan looked at him, Song Qianzhi felt his heart soften. Like being watched by an eleven or twelve-year-old child.

After eight days of trekking through mountains and rivers, Song Qianzhi lifted his sleeves to smell it, his brows were tightly frowned, and it smelled bad.

"Lu Guan, who will give Li Xuan a bath?" Song Qianzhi still has to ask about this matter, don't let him wash it by hand, the old vinegar will be overturned.

"I'll come, wait for a while, and go after making the bed."

As a result, bathing in the inn had to be done in the corner room. There were six large barrels in a row, and there was no single room.When Lu Guan bathed Li Xuan, Li Xuan was so scared that he was trembling all over, his face turned pale, and his lips were bleeding from biting.

Lu Guan really had no choice but to torture a lunatic to death, so he had to let Xian.

Song Qianzhi was almost done washing, and comforting Li Xuan in a low voice, he came out of the water, wrapped a towel around his waist, with fair muscles, Lu Guan looked away, and caught himself blind wipe.

While bathing Li Xuan, Song Qianzhi found several bruises on his legs and a large bruise on his buttocks.Li Xuan can't express it completely and coherently. When he touched the bruise on his leg, he knew how to frown, and tears welled up in his eyes, but he didn't know how to cry out for pain, and didn't know how to hide from Song Qianzhi's hand, but breathed instead. Hold back hastily not to let yourself dodge.

After taking a bath, Song Qianzhi wanted to go out to buy wound medicine on the street, but the shopkeeper refused to let him go out, saying that there was a curfew in Qizhou after dark, and every family was closed and could not go out, and would even sit in the shop when going out.

Song Qianzhi had never heard of such a curfew, so he asked the shopkeeper, can some relatives and friends who live close together not drop by at night?

"You're just kidding. Aren't you from the capital? Besides, if you have relatives and friends, you won't come to the store." Seeing that Song Qianzhi was young, the shopkeeper didn't take it seriously, and flipped the beads with his fingers snap.

Song Qianzhi was thinking about not letting me out, didn't I know how to climb over the wall, and just changed his footsteps.

Someone patted on the door of the inn, and it was so loud.

Song Qianzhi raised his eyebrows and said, "Aren't you under curfew, you are not allowed to go out at night?"

The shopkeeper also found it strange, ran over to open the door, nodded and bowed obsequiously: "Jun...Jun...Master Jun...Our family didn't commit any crime..."

The burly man directly pushed away the shopkeeper and strode in. His indifferent eyes under the cold helmet collided with Song Qianzhi.

"Longjin Mountain?"

Long Jinshan is no longer under Li Qi's command, and was taken over by Bai Guyou himself. Now Bai Guyou leads a team of right forwards.

The store cut up a plate of pork head meat, slices of half white and half red, crystal clear, and rich in flavor.

Long Jinshan unceremoniously tore off a roasted chicken leg, and said while gnawing: "I ate a steamed bun at night, and I'm starving to death."

Song Qianzhi poured him a glass of wine and asked him how he found it here.

"I sent someone to follow you, didn't you notice?"

Song Qianzhi's heart trembled, but he really didn't notice it.

"You guys are too vigilant." Long Jinshan said, "What are you doing here in Qizhou? If you're looking for General Bai, I'll take you there."

"Just passing by." Long Jinshan in front of him was no longer a bandit leader with a bandit look, his beard was clean-shaven, and he was dressed in military uniform, full of heroic and sturdy.

"Where are you going?" Long Jinshan took a sip of the wine, made a sound of enjoyment, and smiled, "Drink some secretly, you should be fine tonight."

Lu Guan: "Under General Bai, you still follow the rules."

Long Jinshan grinned and wiped it away, just ate the meat, and waved his chopsticks to signal Song Qianzhi and Lu Guan to eat too.

Long Jinshan was very happy to meet an old friend in a foreign land. He also met him in a hurry in Mengzhou. He simply told how he joined the army and how he made meritorious service with Li Qi. He saved an important general in Bai Guyou's hands. Speaking of Bai Guyou Asking him to come here, Long Jinshan was full of surprise. He said that he was greatly encouraged by this incident, and felt that he should do a good job. The military master of the country, pride and pride are on Long Jinshan's dark face.

"Do it well, and repay General Bai for his kindness. I will toast to the future general." Song Qianzhi held up the wine glass with two fingers in his middle finger, and served first as a respect.

Long Jinshan shrugged embarrassingly: "I drank the wine, so I dare not be a general." His eyes froze for a moment, but he quickly recovered, and continued, "Every time I go to battle, I don't know if I can survive. Just go all out, never look back, fight to the last breath, look here." He tilted his head, revealing an arrow wound on his neck, the scar was red, it was a fresh wound that had just healed.

"Are you asking for a wife?" Lu Guan asked casually.

Long Jinshan blushed and said, "What kind of daughter-in-law are you looking for, you desperado."

"You are no longer a desperado." Song Qianzhi said.

"It's the same. The identity has changed. To put it bluntly, it's the same. If there is a day without tomorrow, I just understand it in my heart. Why do you drag other people's good girl?" Long Jinshan ate a few pieces of meat tightly, and the whole roast chicken After being gnawed clean by him, full of wine and food, he asked Song Qianzhi again if they needed his help.

Song Qianzhi originally wanted to see Bai Guyou, but hesitantly asked, "How is General Bai?"

"Okay." Mentioning Bai Guyou, Long Jinshan couldn't hide his admiration, "With one kill, he is the real god of war in our Great Chu."

"Then it's all right, we'll leave early tomorrow morning, don't alarm the general," Song Qianzhi said.

Lu Guan sent Long Jinshan out, Song Qianzhi sat on the seat, poured himself a glass, the Qizhou wine was yellow in color, like diluted honey, and tasted a little sweet.

Song Qianzhi took a sip of wine slowly.

Let out a long breath.

On the way through the backyard, Lu Guan looked ahead without stopping, and said in a low voice, "Song and Xun Erzhou really want to give up?"

Long Jinshan's back trembled, and the shadow on the ground revealed tension.

"This is a military secret, how do you know..." Long Jinshan said quickly in a low voice.

"There is no impenetrable wall in the world. The army is made up of people, not wooden stakes." Lu Guan said, "Really, who gave the order?"

Long Jinshan hesitated a little, and said: "The emperor ordered an old eunuch to be sent to the barracks with a lot of ostentation. He can't fucking hold the city anymore, and he still has to grandly receive that old dog. Damn..." Long Jinshan spat on the ground.

"The two prefectures don't care about it, but General Bai said that if there are people fleeing from disaster, they can be released into the city after verification of their identities."

"Are there many people who escaped?"

"Not many. I also find it strange that almost no one escaped from Xunzhou, and only a dozen households from Songzhou came here sporadically. By the way, Pan Lingui, the governor of Songzhou, was killed by General Bai. It's a fucking beautiful kill."

Hearing this, Lu Guan frowned slightly.

Long Jinshan didn't pay attention, he had already reached the front hall, he bowed his hands to Lu Guan, and left the inn.

When the wine glass in Song Qianzhi's hand fell on the table with a clang, and the front was wet, Lu Guan wiped him with his sleeve, and said, "Be careful." Of course, Lu Guan knew that Song Qianzhi was beheading Bai Guyou before playing. Worried, he said in relief, "Bai Guyou is still useful, it's not time to settle accounts."

Song Qianzhi was so anxious that he couldn't sleep at all at night, so he burst into mouthfuls of burnt bubbles in a hurry. When he woke up the next day, he couldn't even swallow the steamed buns for breakfast, and his mouth hurt so badly that he couldn't speak.

Li Xuan wanted to come over and blow him mouth to mouth, but Lu Guan picked up Li Xuan's back collar and threw him to Zhou Xian, completely annoyed: "You take this child, I'll give you a head start when I go back."

Zhou Xian: "..."

☆, orthodox (pick up)

After traveling all day, it rained heavily at night, and the group had to stop to rest. The village where they settled was very small, with less than 50 people in the village, and the visitors were particularly eye-catching.Song Qianzhi and the others stayed at the village chief's house, and the village chief's daughter-in-law was in charge of cooking. Dinner consisted of a large pot of boiled wild vegetables, a plate of golden scrambled eggs, and a large pot of wild mushroom soup.The staple food was a dustpan of cornbread, but I didn't finish it in the end, so I brought some as dry food.

Sleeping at night in a crumbling hut, the humidity is heavy.

Song Qianzhi fell into a drowsy sleep and was awakened by a thunderstorm.

Lu Guan wiped Song Qianzhi's sweaty face with his hands, put his hands against his abdominal muscles, and rubbed his lips against the soft hair beside Song Qianzhi's ears.

"Have a nightmare?"

Song Qianzhi: "No, you sleep."

"How can I sleep if you don't sleep? Don't move, you have to hurry tomorrow, doesn't your thigh hurt?"

Song Qianzhi was dissatisfied and said, "I didn't move." Immediately, his heart shivered and his back was sweating. He endured so much, but he really held back and didn't move at all.

After half an hour, Song Qianzhi heard the rain stopped, let out a sigh of relief, and heard Lu Guan's voice: "Haven't you fallen asleep yet?"

If he had known that the person behind him hadn't fallen asleep, he wouldn't have had to suffer so hard.Song Qianzhi turned over and hugged Lu Guan face to face. The quilt was so hot that he was dying. Lu Guan's body temperature was higher than ordinary people, and he was always like burning coals. However, Song Qianzhi was reluctant to let him go. Dare to sleep with bare legs, had to endure the heat.

The cool wind blew on Song Qianzhi's face, Song Qianzhi opened one eye, saw Lu Guan fanning a cattail fan, and wondered when and where he made the fan, why didn't he know.

The hazy drowsiness hit by the cool wind, Song Qianzhi hugged Lu Guan's arm with both hands, pressed his palm against his arm, and fell asleep with one leg on Lu Guan's body.

The fiefdom of King Dongming is in Lincheng, 120 miles northwest of Qizhou City, which is still within the boundaries of Qizhou, a plain surrounded by mountains on three sides.

Originally, Song Qianzhi thought that Lu Guan said that he knew Dongming Wang's mother and concubine just casually, maybe it was just a one-sided relationship, but he didn't think he really knew each other. After the concierge went in and announced his name, the housekeeper came to greet him in person.

Everyone waited in the front hall for less than a cup of tea, when a woman in plain clothes came out.King Dongming's mother and concubine had a bright and beautiful appearance, with finely painted eyebrows, extremely fair complexion, no rouge on the cheeks, red lips, slender and tall stature, like a bamboo that was easily broken by the wind.

"I haven't seen you for many years, benefactor is as handsome as yesterday." The woman nodded and smiled, "It seems to have grown a little taller."

Hearing the words of Queen Mother and Concubine Dongming, Song Qianzhi immediately thought that when Lu Guan met her, he should not be very old.In the early years, Lu Guan roamed the rivers and lakes, and probably did a lot of chivalrous deeds. If it weren't for Fu Mingshao's stupid things, maybe Lu Guan and this family would never have any intersection in this life.

"Are these friends of the benefactor?" The woman glanced over the rest of the people, and when her gaze briefly rested on Li Xuan's face, Song Qianzhi's heart skipped a beat.

Then, the Queen Mother and Concubine Dongming didn't seem to notice anything wrong, and sat down.

Everyone followed suit.

"Benefactor came to the door, but something happened?"

The two maids each held a plate and the other served tea. After the tea was served, they added a few more plates of dim sum. The color was fresh and lovely. The woman asked them to taste it again and again. The hospitality was hard to refuse. Song Qianzhi took a bite of pea yellow, and his brows relaxed , I couldn't hold back and ate three yuan in a row before I stopped.

It's like he's here just to eat.Song Qianzhi sat up straight, and inadvertently saw the woman in the seat looking at him, Song Qian froze and smiled embarrassedly.

The woman moved her eyes away, and there was a smile on the corner of her mouth.

Song Qianzhi didn't know if he was laughing at him, but his face was also slightly hot.

"A few days ago, I was ordered to investigate the matter in Songzhou. Longjiang was occupied by bandits, so I had to go back to Beijing by land to visit the princess."

"I'm a married woman, guarding the [-]-acre Susukida left by my husband, and living in poverty. At last, everything is safe. My son can read some sage books and understand the truth. In the future, the family business will be passed on to him. When will he marry? Once I have a daughter-in-law, and someone is in charge, I will be much more relaxed."

In front of several people, Princess Dongming only said some polite words, and stayed with Lu Guan and his friends for a few days before leaving. Lu Guanxu responded.

Several people were taken to the room by the servants, Song Qianzhi took off his boots and sat on the couch.

Lu Guan twisted a handkerchief to wipe his hands and face, Song Qianzhi wiped it carelessly, Lu Guan pressed his shoulders, and wiped his neck and ears carefully.

"She will definitely get someone to call you later." Song Qianzhi opened his eyes and knelt down on the couch. Lu Guan had already wrung out the veil again and stood beside the bed to wipe his face.

Song Qianzhi suddenly got up and hooked his fingers at him.

Lu Guan: "?"

"Come here." Song Qianzhi whispered.

Lu Guan approached with a blank face, Song Qianyi snatched the veil, wiped it on his face carelessly, and poked Lu Guan's nostrils with his finger wrapped in the wet veil.

Lu Guan frowned, but put both hands around Song Qianzhi's waist, fearing that he would fall under the bed.

"It's boring, why don't you beat me..." Before Song Qianzhi could finish his sentence, his robe was lifted up and wrapped around his head and face. Song Qianzhi's eyes went dark, and he exclaimed, "Hey, hey, just kidding, don't Hit me, hey... how dare you..." The second half of the voice was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't spit it out or swallow it.

After a while, Song Qianzhi sat up from his robe with a flushed face, and put the robe down.

Lu Guan came up to kiss him, Song Qianzhi kissed him for a while with disgust on his face, and said vaguely: "It's nothing strange..."

Lu Guan didn't speak, but kissed him more deeply.

Sure enough, before dinner, the steward of the palace came to ask Lu Guan to go over and talk. Song Qianzhi was drowsy and didn't want to go, but Lu Guan pulled him up and dressed him and insisted that he go together. Sitting up, as soon as Lu Guan turned around, he lay down again.

Lu Guan made a gesture to lift his robe again, Song Qianzhi quickly held him down, blushing and said: "Master Lu, do you want to empty out Lord Ben in one afternoon?"

Lu Guan smiled and put on shoes for him.

Song Qianzhi signaled himself to come, got up and straightened his hair and robe.

The butler who was waiting outside saw two people, his eyes flashed with surprise, but he restrained his emotions in an instant, and did not stop Song Qianzhi from following.

This time the housekeeper took the two of them to the backyard, where the flowers, trees, grass and rocks were arranged more delicately and more interesting than the front yard.

Princess Dongming changed into a pale pink long dress, her hair was obviously recombed, and she looked ten years younger. She was picking a pot of rose flowers in the room and cutting off the excess branches.

"Sit down." The princess didn't raise her eyes, just cut the scissors, and threw the useless flower branches into the copper basin beside her, then cleaned her hands and dried them. Looking at Lu Guan, "Is this also an adult in the court?"

King Dongming's fiefdom was away, and his concubine had only been to the capital when she was young, and since then she lived in seclusion, and this was the first time she saw Song Qianzhi.

"Empress Dowager Zhou's nephew, Song Qianzhi, is my colleague in the Secretary Department."

The princess felt miraculous, tapped her chin with her index finger, and slightly hooked the corner of her mouth: "I know your mother."

"Wangfei knows my mother?" Song Qianzhi did not expect this.

Princess Dongming showed a look of reminiscence. When she spoke, she spoke neither fast nor slow. Her voice was not like a girl's crisp, but soft and charming.

"Zhou Taifu's daughter-in-law married the servant of the Ministry of Industry that he had chosen, and was not used by his parents as a bargaining chip to win over the powerful. Your mother's marriage, even after many years of her marriage, is still a topic of conversation among the noble girls in the capital. When I went to Beijing to receive the marriage award, I was fortunate enough to hear some of them. But the sisters at that time almost lost contact after I got married." The princess smiled nonchalantly, obviously not taking this kind of worldly situation into consideration. .

"How is your father treating your mother?" Wang Hao sat sideways, thinking of something, felt that the question was inappropriate, and changed her words, "If it offends, it doesn't matter if you don't answer."

Song Qianzhi shook his hand: "That's it, my father is not at home all year round."

Hearing this, Princess Dongming felt sympathy for the daughter of the Taifu who had never met before, and said indifferently: "Men are nothing more than that, please persuade your mother to relax." She smiled embarrassedly, " But she should be a much smarter person than me, and I have seen a lot of people in that circle, so it’s useless to talk about it.”

Except for his own mother and the Queen Mother Zhou, Song Qianzhi seldom talked to women of this status, it was inconvenient to talk about family affairs, but the princess in front of him was very easy-going, and she didn't mean to spy on others in her conversation.Her eyes and face were indifferent, and she really said it casually.

Song Qianzhi recalled that Princess Dongming was from a low family background, she was the daughter of a sixth-rank official, and sure enough, her style of speaking and doing things was different from that of the high-ranking people he had come into contact with.For example, his aunt, the Queen Mother Zhou, and his elder sister, always speak with twists and turns, behind one layer of meaning, there is another meaning behind it, and you need to be 12 points energetic when speaking.

"So Engong is already the lord of Secretary Province?" Princess Dongming started another topic.

Lu Guan was more straightforward: "The princess must be very clear about the situation in the capital."

The woman said: "It's just for the sake of the youngest son. My husband left early. I don't plan for him anymore. There is really no one who can make decisions for my son."

"There is going to be a great chaos in Dachu. If the princess is planning for the little prince, she should have made plans early." Lu Guandao.

The woman's eyes lit up, but the corners of her mouth were flattened, and said calmly: "This fiefdom has been a blessed land for more than a hundred years. It's not that there has never been chaos in the country. This city has never been involved because of its terrain."

"That's because there has never been a monarch who used the land in his own hands to make deals with wolves."

Princess Dongming frowned.

"Where did you say that?"

Song Qianzhi sat next to him and listened quietly, eating a snack from time to time. He thought about how much Lu Guan would reveal to Dongming King's mother and concubine, and only then did he understand when he listened. Lu Guan pretended Liu Yun's old army to slaughter the people All the things were revealed in one breath, and according to Lu Guan, Bai Guyou's soldiers assigned to Qizhou were only one-eighth of the Zhenbei Army, and the emperor had decreed to abandon Song and Xunzhou.

"Did the princess ever think that giving up Songzhou and Xunzhou today will also allow Bai Guyou to withdraw from Qizhou?" After speaking, Lu Guan took a sip of tea and wiped his mouth.

"But didn't you say that Hei Di's soldiers were faked by Liu Yun's people, so they shouldn't kill the common people..."

"Only in the city of Songzhou, there were tens of thousands of casualties overnight. When we left, the city was almost empty. Cao Sunyi, the Songzhou army, became the emperor of Songzhou in Songzhou with less than [-] soldiers and horses. Among the people accompanying us, I don't know if the princess has noticed that there is a A burly, dark-skinned man, he is the Sergeant of Xunzhou."

"Sergeant Cao of Xunzhou, why are you with you again?" Princess Dongming was dizzy.

"The imperial court decreed that Zhao Yu, the former magistrate of Xunzhou, should be exempted from his official position. When we went south, it happened that the new magistrate rushed to Xunzhou to take up his post. The Liaoren on the Longjiang River intercepted passing ships on the river, saying that the officers and soldiers asked them to block the river. Arresting Liu Zhixing, the new magistrate of Xunzhou, allowed the Liao people to enter the town market to buy and sell, and gave them gold and silver treasures. The Liao people lived in the mountains, lived in no fixed place, and their ethnic groups were scattered. At that time, Xunzhou Army Cao led people to track down Zhao Yu. He didn't take many people with him, so he was arrested by the hunters." Lu Guandao, "The father of this sergeant used to serve under the Zhenbei Army, and he has served in Xunzhou for some years. , I know Liu Yun’s old troops well, and I have brothers in the Zhenbei Army. Only then did we know that the imperial court has abandoned Song and Xun Prefectures.”

Song Qianzhi added: "Xu Ruiyun is following Liu Zhizhou's son. You have seen Liu Zhizhou's son just now, and he is the youngest."

"That Xiaosheng who is white and tender?" Wang Hao said.

"... Exactly, that is Liu Zhixing's son, a scholar with no strength to restrain a chicken." Song Qianzhi replied.

The princess disapproved and said: "I think you will have to get fame in the future, but in today's world, what can you accomplish by just being able to read."

Lu took a look at Song Qianzhi.

"You have to be like the two, both civil and military, to be able to take on the important task of the court." The woman changed the subject, "This sergeant followed the two, it is not because Xunzhou has no one to take care of him, and he wants to use this to return to the capital. Or find a chance to go back to Zhenbei Army?"

"Do not
