In the early morning of the next day, as soon as the door was opened, the Eguo Mansion, which had already been scattered, received an exquisite letter of worship. The chief steward of the pen &www.biquge.info amp; fun & pavilion carefully looked at the seal on the prayer post, and hurriedly sent it to the sickbed of the Duke of Eguo. Wei Chiqing, who was wearing a Taoist robe, was already a little dizzy and couldn't see the words on the prayer post clearly, so he waved his hand and said angrily: "Didn't the old man say that he would close the door and thank the guests and not interact with anyone?" Why do you send any post to the old man! ”

"Ah Lang, this time it's Princess Changning and the King of Xin'an County...... the old steward replied with a bitter face, "If it's just an idle person, the eldest princess and the prince of the county will ...... Our family seems to be easily offended...... "The old prince has been at home for ten years, and the two sons are all unknown petty officials in the court, and the grandchildren have never been in office. How can such a declining Guogong Mansion keep the golden branches and jade leaves out?

Wei Chiqing was silent for a moment, then picked up the post again and squinted at it: "Come to visit?" What kind of disease to explore? The old man's body and bones are very good, but he has eaten a few more elixirs, and he can't stand the power of the elixir. Could it be that they are here to covet the elixir of the old man? This can't be done, the old man is not a guest! ”

"......," the old steward persuaded him, "they are young, how can they know what the elixir is?" I thought I had something to ask Ah Lang, so I hurried over. Even if Ah Lang doesn't think about himself, he has to plan for the future of Xiao Langjun and the little ladies. Princess Changning and the king of Xin'an are quite favored, and with them saying good things in front of the saints, can't they say that Xiaolang Jun can also be outstanding? If nothing else, it's better to be a Qianniu guard who serves the emperor. ”

Wei Chiqing groaned slightly, and then asked, "What has happened recently?" Otherwise, if there is nothing to do, how can they think of the old man? Even if the sky falls, isn't there still Xu Ye (Jian Guogong)'s old man to bear? ”

"Yesterday, I just heard the Lang Jun mention that there is a clan and county king in Shengzhou who plotted to rebel, and the sage issued an order to drive the expedition in person. Jian Guogong led the first army, the king of Yong'an County led the first army, and the son of the Ashina family led the deputy head of the march. The old steward thought carefully and replied, "This deputy head of the march has not made any great contributions, but he has fought a few battles with his grandfather and has some experience, which is really a little uneasy - there should be nothing else important except for this matter." ”

The old man thought about it with the snow-white whisk, and waved his hand: "Call the big man and a few of them in, and the little ladies will also come over." A rare opportunity, if they can't grasp it, they can't complain about the old man. ”

When the carriages of the Xin'an County Palace's Mansion and the Princess's Mansion crossed the main gate of the Eguo Mansion and came to the inner courtyard and slowly stopped, the younger generations of the Wei Chi family were already waiting in front of the inner gate. Li Hui and Princess Changning were quite surprised-it is said that the Wei Chi family has not seen outsiders for many years, and even the kings of the clan such as the king of Yong'an County and the king of Hejian County came to visit some time ago, and they were also closed. It was already a surprise for the old man to promise to see them, and it was a surprise to put on such a grand battle, which made people think a little more.

The two cousins glanced at each other without a trace, looked at the dilapidated Guogong Mansion everywhere, and looked at the sturdy and tall grandchildren of the Weichi family and the tall little ladies, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

It is rumored that the reason why the Duke of E Guogong did not come out was because of his reckless and arrogant temperament, and he gradually lost the favor of the first emperor. Among the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, although he lived a long life, he offended the remaining Wu Guogong Qin An and Jian Guogong Xu Ye, so he simply stopped appearing in front of others. Some people speculate that Eguo Gong is actually an extremely smart person. He thinks that he can't do anything but fight, so he doesn't want to do anything else, so as not to make mistakes, but to affect his family. And when he decided to resign and retire to old age, it was on the eve of the accident between the abolished prince and the king of Wei.

No matter what the reason for the decision of the Duke of Eguo to recuperate in the first place, it is already a fact that almost no one remembers the decline of the Guogong Mansion. The Wei Chi family urgently needed the opportunity to prove their abilities in front of the saints. And the saint also needs a group of young generals who can be trusted enough to help him hold on to his military power. If nothing else, the trip will be a smooth one.

Sure enough, after the two cousins saw the Duke of Eguo, who was holding the dust, they just explained their intentions, and he nodded in response: "The old man's legs and feet have long been useless, and he can only stay in Chang'an to raise them, and it is really difficult to be loyal to the saint." As for the two sons, they didn't put much effort into practicing martial arts, and they couldn't be used. There are only a few grandchildren, and they practice martial arts every day, which is quite passable. If the lord and the king don't dislike it, go to the school to see their martial arts, and choose one or two people at random. ”

"I have long heard that the envoy of the Eguo State has a good hand. I believe that several Lang Jun must also have obtained the true inheritance of the Guogong, and their martial arts must be very outstanding. Li Hui smiled slightly and praised, "Although I am not talented, I have also learned some martial arts from my grandfather, and I just loosen my muscles and bones with Lang Jun." ”

Hearing him mention Emperor Taizong, Eguo Gong couldn't help but look at him a few more times. However, the old man was stubborn, and he didn't say anything more, so in the name of headache, he asked the chief steward to send the two golden branches and jade leaves out.

When the chief steward was about to call the imperial doctor, he hurriedly stopped him and said in a low voice, "Let's go to the school and see which one they chose...... The temperament of the King of Xin'an County and Princess Changning is a bit like that of the first emperor, and they will definitely not treat them badly. Alas, don't be discouraged by the rest, the brothers have a chance, and they will not be forgotten. If we can support each other in the future, we should be better off than their grandfather......"

The chief steward bowed his head a little sadly, and then heard the old prince mutter: "King of Hejian County? When the old man beat his father hard, he annoyed the saint (the first emperor) and offended the group of foxes in the clan. Hmph, now his son dares to rebel, and sure enough, he has a bad stomach and a backbone in the back of his head! The old man should have beaten him a little harder back then, taught his son a lesson by the way, and completely cut off today's calamity! ”

“…… Ah Lang rest assured. The chief steward was speechless, and replied after a while, "Xiao Langjun will definitely avenge Ah Lang." ”

The school yard of the Eguo Mansion is also a little old, the flat ground irrigated by tung oil has been potholed, but the eighteen weapons placed around it are bright, and the snow-white blades are full of killing intent. When Li Hui and Princess Changning saw Yu Chi Jialangjun who was wielding a horizontal sword, some blood inevitably welled up in their hearts. Li Hui immediately drew his sword to face the battle, and Princess Changning also chose a bow and arrow to compete with the little ladies of the Yuchi family.

A whole hour passed, and both sides were hearty and happy. The so-called no fighting, no acquaintance, after many tests, a group of young people who were originally strangers have become a little closer. When talking about the gains and losses of the competition, he was also much more casual, and he no longer felt strange.

While everyone was talking and laughing, Li Hui said: "Yu Chi Dalang, hurry up and take a bath and change your clothes, and then go to the palace of Xin'an County to find me, and let's go to the palace to meet my uncle together." Several of your brothers must join Qianniuwei, otherwise you will waste that good martial arts in vain. ”

Princess Changning also clapped her hands and smiled: "Grandpa's favorite is the son of the heroic and outstanding, and he will definitely agree." Mrs. Yu Chi also followed me into the palace to meet my aunt? Although she is used to seeing the elegant little lady of the family, she will definitely like the heroic little lady of the military general's family. You should also go out and socialize more and meet some close friends. ”

Wei Chi Dalang and the others immediately saluted and solemnly thanked them. After making an appointment to enter the palace for an audience in a few words, Li Hui and Princess Changning went to see the Duke of E again and bid him farewell. After they left, after listening to the chief steward's relay, E Guogong was silent for a long time, and said in a low voice: "Take all the weapons that the old man used to make, and give them a few shares." ”

At the same time, in the Penglai Hall of Daming Palace, Concubine Yuan Shu and Concubine Zhou De came with a group of concubines to greet Queen Du as usual. Because they heard that there was a catastrophe at the border, their clothes were much lighter, and they were not as showy as they were usual. Queen Du swept them lightly, so that everyone didn't have to be polite, and sat down separately.

Although many things happened yesterday, the saint was unconscious for a while, and then he successively replaced the Zhongshu Order and the Servant, and issued the edict of the Imperial Commander's personal expedition, etc., but because Empress Du blocked the news, these things were not spread in the harem. Only Concubine Yuan Shu, who paid special attention to the movements of Penglai Hall and Zichen Palace, found out five or six points.

She glanced at Empress Du on the throne, and deliberately showed a sad look, hiding the joy welling up in her eyes: "Your Royal Highness, yesterday the concubine sent someone back to her mother's house to visit her mother, and I just heard that the saint planned to drive the royal expedition, I don't know if this matter is true or false?" But it scared the concubine a big jump, and she tossed and turned all night, and it was difficult to sleep. ”

Hearing this, all the concubines were stunned, and they all became nervous. Empress Du looked at the different expressions on their faces without a trace, and replied quietly: "The edict has been issued, and this is indeed the case. The saints have their own decisions, and you and I just have to listen. ”

"It's a royal expedition, and it sounds dangerous." Concubine Yuan Shufei frowned, "Why is there no one to persuade her?" How can a saint stand the fight on the battlefield? ”

"The saint does not have to go to the battlefield to fight. It is enough to sit in the rear, stabilize the morale of the army, and strategize. Queen Du explained a few words, "You don't have to think crankily, lest you mess up your normal mind and make the people in the palace panic." If you have the heart, you can recite more scriptures for the saint in front of the Buddha and bless the saint for his safe return. ”

After hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and said yes one after another. Concubine Yuan Shufei covered her mouth and smiled, and sighed lightly: "Her Royal Highness the Queen still knows a lot, and she even knows about marching and fighting. With Her Royal Highness the Queen's words, the concubine was completely relieved. I wonder when the saint will set off? The concubine wanted to go to the temple earlier to ask for a peace charm for the saint and light a peace lamp. ”

When the concubines heard this, they also followed: "Ask for more peace charms, let the saints bring them, and the concubines will feel more at ease." ”

"The war is urgent, and the day of the expedition is set for tomorrow." Empress Du laughed softly, "Since everyone is worried about the safety of the saint, then we might as well go to the Great Ci'en Temple in the afternoon, ask Master Xuanhui to make a small dojo, and ask for a few peace charms." How about holding a family banquet in the evening can be regarded as saying goodbye to the saint? ”

When the concubines heard this, they happily agreed. Since the kings of the clans entered Beijing a few years ago, the saint has been busy with official business, and he has no intention of pampering the harem. Therefore, except for Queen Du, Concubine Yuan Shu and Concubine Zhou De, she has hardly been anywhere else. Now that I have the opportunity to see Long Yan, or have the opportunity to wish peace and perform, it is naturally better.
