The letter sent by his mother came from Jeju, saying that Dugu Shao did not join Dugu Yuankang's army, but entered Changqing County, which is close to Licheng, and gathered his troops as a captain of Jinwu and erected a banner to resist the rebels. The war report is confidential, and the details are not to be heard, but after the mother and the prime minister discussed, they immediately issued an edict on the same day, with Dugu Shao as the guerrilla general, and got to fake the military affairs of Changqing, Licheng, Zhangqiu, Linyi and other ten counties - except for Changqing, the remaining nine counties have already fallen into the hands of the enemy, and Changqing has actually been conquered.

I have mixed feelings about this. The joy is that Dugu can not only join the army as she wishes, but once she becomes a military general and a military meritorious officer who has been enshrined by the imperial court, she will have more autonomy in marriage, but she is worried about the danger of the front line, and she is alone in the lonely city, in case of damage, it is really regrettable, not to mention that she is more or less because of my persuasion, so she did this.

In addition to worrying about Dugu Shao, I also have a faint guess in my heart, which makes me feel uneasy, and I want to ask Ah Huan several times, but the words come to my mouth, but I always keep silent.

I love her. I love the way she looks at me when she stands outside the door waiting for me, I love the thousands of things she looks like when she speaks to me, I love her smile, every move, I love every syllable she says, the changes of flat, up, go and enter can always bloom a different magic in her mouth, no need to carve, it becomes a natural sound.

But Dugu Shao is my friend. If something happens to her this time, I won't be able to forgive myself for the rest of my life.

It's not that Ah Huan hasn't calculated me. In fact, our friendship has been full of calculations from the very beginning. But her calculation of me is different from her calculation of Dugu Shao. It was a feeling I couldn't tell. The only thing I know is that it makes me uncomfortable.

For three days in a row, I lingered in the Baisun Courtyard, hesitant in my behavior and speech. I don't know if Ah Huan knows my doubts, but she is silent and reluctant to discuss, or if she really doesn't know about it, in short, she doesn't say a word about this matter, and even the war on the front line seems a little indifferent.

On the fourth day, I was still hesitating, but Cui Mingde couldn't bear it and found Baisun Courtyard.

She has never been flashy, but today she specially wore a crimson dress, the top is slightly light, pink and tender like a peach in the first place, the skirt is deep, and the bright red is like a plum in the cold winter. Her steps were still light, and she stepped straight into the hall, not even bowing, and looked at Ah Huan with hooked eyes: "The princess can get her wish now." ”

Her eyes were as cold as ice, her face was blue, as if she would step forward and grab Ah Huan's neck at any time, I subconsciously stood in front of Ah Huan, and said with a little weakness: "Erniang is here?

Cui Mingde looked at me coldly, I was looked at by her, the more uneasy I felt, and I unconsciously lowered my head, but Ah Huan gently held my hand, stood beside me, and said with a light smile: "It's not me who got my wish, it's Dugu Shao who got his wish." ”

With just this sentence, I knew the answer to the question that had been bothering me for a long time, my heart was cold, my hand involuntarily moved back, gently took it out of Ah Huan's hand, and stood aside, Cui Mingde sneered and glanced at me, raised his chin and looked at Ah Huan: "Yes?"

This is the posture that the sons of the current family are proud of their peers, I thought that I would not see it in Cui Mingde, but today I realized that I was ignorant - Cui Mingde can not only have such a demeanor, but the arrogance of the air is a hundred times more than that of ordinary families, although I am wearing a purple dress, but all of them are compared to her five-grade scarlet clothes.

However, Ah Huan was not taken by Cui Mingde's momentum, she still stood motionless, her voice was soft, and she smiled: "It was not me who taught Dugu Shao the art of war battle formation, it was not me who asked her to bow and dance, be a guard of honor, and train female soldiers, it was not me who taught her to get out of the guard of honor and enter Jinwu, it was not me who dismissed her official and forced her to marry, and it was not me who named her a guerrilla general... Erniang thinks that she went to join the army, is it my wish?"

Cui Mingde's eyes suddenly bloomed with anger: "If you hadn't asked the princess to persuade her, how would she have thought of this?"

Ah Huan looked at me with a smile: "Taiping, can you mention to her that day that you have joined the army?"

I frowned and said, "I just said that the Quartet is unstable, if Luonan Gong is entrusted with a heavy responsibility, she naturally has no time to take care of her family affairs, so tell her not to worry." ”

Cui Mingde sneered: "Naturally, you won't tell her these things directly, with her qualifications, just lightly click, how can you not think of the best way to escape from marriage, is to go to the army? It turned out that the Mulan ride personally brought out by Dugu Shao's soldiers and a pawn was just good-looking in the eyes of Erniang, and it was a child messing around, I don't know how Dugu Shao felt when he heard this?

Cui Mingde said: "Don't bite words with me, you are deliberately trying to instigate Ashao to join the army, in order to tie us up with you? I came today to tell you that I am not as you wish." ”

Ah Huan raised her eyebrows: "Oh, it turns out that Erniang has been thinking about it for three days, but she hasn't figured it out yet, and now except for Taiping and me, no one else can help you and Dugu Shao wholeheartedly?"

Cui Mingde said: "It's not except for the princess and you, it's for the princess, no one can help us." The princess and you are not one. As if to frighten Ah Huan, he raised his chin more and looked at me with a smile: "Did the princess say yes?"

Cui Mingde looked at me. Ah Huan also looked at me.

Cui Mingde's eyes have some insight into everything, with some of the usual arrogance of the family, Ah Huan's gaze is not as aggressive, but also a little urgent, I have been so seriously concerned by the two of them for the first time, and my heart is really awkward - Ah Huan's things are uncomfortable, but I don't want her to fall behind in front of Cui Mingde, so I pursed my lips, and said after a while: "Today's most important thing is Ashao's safety, and there is no point in fighting for these here." ”

Cui Mingde sneered again, sneering while staring at Ah Huan, but said to me: "Erniang, do you remember our agreement in the past? I helped you, and now it's time for you to return me - the Queen Mother originally wanted to use me and several Shang Gong as stand-ins to become monks, so that I waited in the harem to meditate and practice, recite the Ten Thousand Scriptures, and pray for the Queen Mother, but since A Shao has joined the army, I changed my mind, I want to join the military department, and plan military affairs for the Queen Mother's counselor. ”

I frowned and said, "There has never been a precedent for women to enter the cabinet in this dynasty. "For example, Wan'er or mother, they are all harem identities and politicians, such as Dugu Shao, and Princess Pingyang first, but if a woman is a former court official, it will really be a precedent for the ages, my selfishness is naturally willing, but I am afraid that I can't do it.

Cui Mingde interrupted her coldly: "Before Princess Luling, there was no precedent for the princess to stay in Beijing in this dynasty. He glanced at me and said, "Before Ashao, there had never been a woman who could justifiably be a guerrilla general. ”

I seem to have an idea. 166 Reading Network
