Chapter 195: Li Dai Taozhuang (12)
After less than two months of leisure, the news of the defeat of the Jinyang Hedong army was transmitted back to Chang'an one after another. Although it is an important matter of the military aircraft, it can't hide it from the people in the city, or someone from Hedong, heard about the war, in the Chang'an restaurant and wine shop, and even the fireworks in the willow alley The people who have been war-torn for many years have easily passed two years of peace, but the current situation can not help but float again.
It seems that the Chengqian Hall has quietly formed certain rules, but whenever the report of the defeat is returned, there will be a group of intensive imperial doctors who will take turns to ask for the pulse in the palace. The King of Qin, who had been "bedridden" for a long time, was probably unbearable, and he couldn't hold his breath first, because he was the imperial doctor appointed by the saint, and he was not allowed to rush out.
Zhao Cang's legs and feet running to Yongxingfang are very diligent, and he wants to come to Du Ruhui every once in a while to ask when the King of Qin can "recover", Du Ruhui only waved his hand slowly and said that he was not in a hurry, but he could delay it for a few more days, and secretly he inevitably had to order Yinghua to quietly inform his henchmen and generals to clean up the Xuanjia Army and the Xiaocai Battalion, and prepare to go out at any time.
Yinghua was mostly in the barracks during the day, and Zhao Cang ran to Du's house a few times but failed, and did not see her. Mu Qing saw it in his eyes, and he was also anxious, he probed Yinghua a few times, and taught her to prevaricate and fool around, Mu Qing thought that she probably couldn't agree.
I don't know which one was in Yinghua and the premise, the inner court was invited several times as the chief of the imperial doctor, and sincerely hoped that Zhao Cang would preside over the Imperial Doctor's Office, but he was always refused, the reason was very strange, he only said, the many imperial doctors in the palace, only need to guard more than a dozen people, he Zhao Cang is indispensable, there are thousands of people in the market, and the soldiers in the military camp take their lives to fight, there are many miscellaneous diseases, and their lives are hanging by a thread, how can they be missing him?
Just because of this sentence, it made this family affair turn around, Yinghua was silent after hearing it, she was used to it, and she didn't twist, and she put down her words the next day, if he waited, he would wait until the eastern capital exterminated Wang Shichong and then discuss the matter. Although it was not a quasi-letter, in the end, it was relieved, Mu Qingchang let out a sigh, and a heart that had been hanging for many years was finally slowly put back into the cavity.
When the wind from the northwest gradually blew into Chang'an, and the rows of tall ginkgo biloba on the avenue outside the city were gradually blown yellow, King Qin's body and bones finally improved, and he could enter the school practice field in a few days.
Sure enough, within ten days, King Qi and Pei Lin led the remnants of the army back in a hurry, taking advantage of the fact that the sky was not bright and the doors of the city were not opened, they entered the city from the far gate.
In a few days, the remnants of the soldiers who returned to the city under the Kaiyuan Gate had long since disappeared, and everyone's attention was focused on the Jinguang Gate. The King of Qin, who left the sickbed and wore battle armor again, just like the name of this city gate, seemed to bring out a ray of golden light from his body, and the people in the city cheered as if worshipping the god of war. The Xuanjia Lang behind him were wrapped in heavy Xuan-colored shadows one by one, their sharp qi condensed, and they were unstoppable.
Mu Qing hugged Shiro, looking down from the battlement on the city tower, she had watched Du Ruhui leave with the army many times, the initial sorrow and anxiety had already evolved into calm and conviction in the tempering again and again, and as the years passed, her consciousness seemed to have merged with him. What he was sure of, she would no longer doubt. But as long as she can get an indifferent sentence of "no hindrance" from his mouth, she is sure that it is no hindrance, and he says "rest assured", she really will not worry.
Du Ruhui walked through the city gate hole, and immediately turned around and squinted at the city tower. Shiro in Mu Qing's arms twisted his small body a few times, stretched out a meaty finger, opened his mouth and called "Daddy, Daddy", and then "giggled" and laughed.
Mu Qing hurriedly coaxed: "Shiro is the son of the top stake? ”
Shiro slowly closed his mouth, turned his face to stare at his mother's face seriously, thought for a while, and nodded vigorously.
"Erlang is crying, what should I do if I teach people to listen?"
Shiro didn't hesitate to put his short fingers against his bulging little face, quickly scraped a few times, although the tears in his eyes were taken back, his little brows were twisted into a lump, and he turned his head unwillingly to look at Daddy, who was getting farther away.
Mu Qing kissed his little face and said with a smile: "Daddy will go back when he goes, Shiro will eat well at home, and wait for Daddy to return home, okay?" ”
Shiro nodded blankly, threw himself on Mu Qing's shoulder and sniffled slightly.
A few soft and gentle laughter came from behind Mu Qing, "Shiro's frowning little appearance is very similar to Du Changshi. ”
Shiro raised his body from Mu Qing's shoulders alertly, and a pair of round eyes rolled straight across the face of the person who spoke. Mu Qing hadn't turned back yet, she had already guessed which person was talking behind her, she was already a little difficult to hold the increasingly heavy Shiro, and she had to turn around to see the salute a little clumsy, but she didn't dare to slow down, "I've seen Mrs. Changsun." ”
Seeing her in this situation, Princess Qin hurriedly raised her hand to stop her from bowing her knees, "Mrs. Gu, don't see outside." Saying that, he took two steps forward, looked at Shiro carefully and teased him, gently pinched the fleshy little wrist, and teased with a smile: "Shiro and my Dalang are similar in age, and when you enter the palace in the future, is it good to study and practice martial arts with Dalang?" It is good for the two brothers to have a companion. ”
Mu Qing chuckled in his heart, as if he had choked on a breath of late autumn cold air, and a layer of coldness suddenly rose between his heart and lungs. "The little dog is blessed by heaven and given a name, how fortunate it is, but he doesn't dare to know how to advance and retreat, and call the emperor and grandson brothers."
Princess Qin smiled lightly, "Mrs. Gu is too modest. Absent-mindedly between his words, his eyes moved to the bottom of the castle tower.
Mu Qing glanced sideways, it turned out to be Yinghua in a fiery red robe, covered with silver-white armor, riding in front of the Xiao Cavalry Camp awe-inspiring and calm, with a sassy posture and outstanding, compared to the beauty of the Changsun family, there is another soul-snatching moving.
Mu Qing looked at her for a while, and said that she was not allowed to do so, it stands to reason that now that she is a respectful husband and wife, and has given birth to an heir, she should not have anything to be afraid of Yinghua. At that moment, Mu Qing sighed slightly exaggeratedly, "If Qi Niang remembers well, the age difference between Mrs. Eldest Sun and Yinghua is only about one year old, in the end, Mrs. Eldest Sun is deeply blessed, and she already has Jiao'er in her arms, Yinghua ...... I'm afraid we'll have to wait a little longer. ”
"Oh? So Yinghua has already settled on someone? Princess Qin turned back with interest, "Which family is so blessed?" Is there a time to go? Yinghua's military exploits are impressive, and it is not an exaggeration to ask the saint for the title of county lady after entering the man's house. She suddenly stopped, Xu Shi also felt the urgency of the words, looked slightly embarrassed, and hurriedly looked for words to cover up.
Mu Qing didn't hear anything, a happy smile bloomed on his face, and he thanked him, "Mrs. Eldest Sun's kindness, I don't know which generation of Yinghua has cultivated the blessings, I, as a sister, thank her first." Because there is no one in the eight characters now, and she is determined to wait until she accepts Wang Shichong of Luoyang before discussing the marriage, she ...... "Mu Qing casually changed his hand to hug Shiro, deliberately not looking at the face of the eldest grandson," so whether Yinghua has been blessed to receive this love is really unknown. ”
Princess Qin gave in a few more words, Jinxiu said a set of good things, and Mu Qing also did her best to be polite, so she resigned to each other and wanted to go back. After getting off the castle tower, the nurse picked up Shiro and took the lead in getting into the carriage. An inner eunuch stepped forward to support Princess Qin, although the inner eunuch bowed his head and waist, how could Mu Qing not recognize him as Wu Inner Eunuch.
So she paused, re-stacked her thoughtful smile, and took advantage of the fact that there was no one left and right, and bowed to Princess Qin, "Ah Yue's matter, I haven't thanked Mrs. well, and I can't find a time to thank me every time I enter the palace, after all, there are many people in the palace, and it's not good to say it on the surface, but Mrs.'s kindness Qi Niang is all ironed in her heart, and she doesn't dare to leak it at all.
Taking advantage of Princess Qin's full of promise, Mu Qing glanced at Wu Neijian's face without a trace, and clearly saw that he was half-smiling, slightly invisible but nodded calmly. Before parting, Mu Qing saluted again, and the people next to her seemed that she was saying goodbye to Princess Qin, but she really bowed to the humble inner supervisor.
……
Probably because Du Ruhui went out with the army and was not in Chang'an City, or because the aura of King Qin's god of war drew the attention of most of the prince's party, in short, the eyes of the faint followers inside and outside Yongxingfang seemed to be a little less.
Mu Qing thought that after Du Ruhui left, Hu Dalang's routine reports would be listened to by her every three or five times, but she didn't expect that Hu Dalang would not be seen for several days, and although there were few eyes and ears, she didn't dare to venture to Chonghuafang to find out. After thinking about it again, she had to go to the wine shop of Kang Saburo in Higashi to scatter, so that Kang Saburo could bring a message to He Suizhao and ask him to listen to it.
"General He Sui?" When Mu Qing asked about He Suizhao's whereabouts in the wine shop compartment, Kang Saburo's eyes widened and he glared at her in disbelief, "Is it possible that Qi Niang doesn't know?" ”
Mu Qing shook his head blankly, and secretly said in his heart, his whereabouts have always been uncertain, and he has such thoughts with me, I can avoid it, how can I always keep an eye on him?
"Do you know where General He Sui's hometown is?" Kang Saburo has always prided himself on being well-informed, and when he saw her surprised, he was even more proud.
Mu Qing tilted his head and recalled for a moment, "It seems to have been mentioned many years ago, it seems to be ...... Zhuojun? ”
Kang Saburo nodded with satisfaction, "In this way, you ...... his origin."
Mu Qing didn't want to go around the scene like a book with him, and besides, He Suizhao never mentioned his past to her, although she knew, she never refused to talk in front of people, so she waved her hand to interrupt Kang Saburo's words, "Don't say those things that have been useless for a long time, you just tell me, where did he go?" ”
Kang Saburo's words were rising, and he might as well be poured a basin of cold water on his head, and he was inevitably stupid, and muttered: "The eldest of his family is very old, because he left his hometown in a hurry in the early years, and now he has to return to the roots, so General He Sui specially went to the sky to listen to it, and he was allowed to send the old man back to his hometown to recuperate." ”
Mu Qing's heart moved, and he suddenly understood seven or eight points, and sent his father back to his hometown, it was really a clever excuse, he disappeared with Hu Dalang, I am afraid that while Du Ruhui is not in the city, the prince's party will loosen up and peep, and leave Beijing to get evidence.
She chuckled softly, and she was happy to go and live a few days of peace and quiet. R1152
