Mu Qing walked out of the Chengqian Hall in a mess, and immediately the inner supervisor who led the way stepped forward to lead the way, and she followed behind in a daze, countless thoughts were entwined in her heart, as if every step she took, a thought would come out.

The inner supervisor who led the way sent them to the Vermilion Bird Gate, and respectfully asked: "There are a few more steps to get out of the imperial city, and the old slave can only be sent here, and the road ahead is also asked to take Gu Niangzi by herself." ”

Mu Qing turned around and was polite, absentmindedly about to move forward, but suddenly stopped, "The old slave can only be sent here, and the road ahead is also asked to go by Gu Niangzi by herself", Mu Qing silently recited the words of the old inner eunuch in his heart, and always felt that he seemed to have something to say, and then looked back, he had walked back slowly in the direction of the inner court.

In front of her was the wide and magnificent Suzaku Gate, and as when she entered, she still had to come out of the small door on one side, and through a dark doorway that did not shine all year round, a large dazzling sun spread in front of her, so that only a white and vast chaos was left in her eyes.

Du Ruhui stood with his hands in his hands by the Vermilion Bird Gate, the root of the imperial city wall was so clean that he couldn't even see a scorched fallen leaf, and there was nowhere to hide from the sun, and he didn't know how long he had been standing, when Mu Qing walked out of the doorway, the neckline of his round-necked robe and the back vest were faintly oozing sweat stains.

Looking at his long and firm figure and slightly anxious look, Mu Qing's heart was relieved, and at the same time he gritted his teeth and stepped forward with a good smile, "Aren't you afraid of the heat?" Dried like this. ”

He reached out and wiped the sweat from his neck with his sleeve, "It's okay for a few days or so, so let's take a few steps." ”

Mu Qing took out a silk handkerchief and raised his head to wipe the sweat beads from the corners of his forehead. Yinghua Shang was depressed because of the matter of Fang Cai, and he couldn't hide the unhappiness on his face, so he took the horse that Du Ruhui rode over, and said sullenly: "Brother-in-law, borrow the horse from me, I will go to the Xiao Riding Camp in the west of the city and return home later." Without waiting for Du Ruhui to respond, he turned over and got on the horse, kicked twice in a row, and ran away.

How could Du Ruhui not see the gloomy fire on Yinghua's face, coming from the eldest grandson's family, it was not unusual to see a good face. It was nearly noon, and the sun was hot, so the two hurriedly boarded the car and returned to the house.

"What does the short sword that gave Yinghua mean?" After driving for a while, Du Ruhui asked casually.

Mu Qing turned his head, looked at him for a while, and answered the question, "How long have you been standing in front of the Vermilion Bird Gate?" ”

Du Ruyan smiled noncommittally and did not answer her words.

"You're worried that I'm going to make a mistake in the palace and get into trouble, so you followed me early in the morning and waited there?" Mu Qing asked after him.

Du Ruhui glanced at the imperial city farther and farther behind the car through the erected pane, "Daxing Palace is not a good place to go, the East Palace is a tiger's den, and the Chengqian Palace is Longtan. ”

Mu Qing smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid I can't help myself." ”

"What does that short sword mean?" He picked up his old words again, and clinged to the dagger unrelentingly.

She stared out the window attentively, as if absent-mindedly, and said, "In more than ten days, Erlang will lead the troops to the west." The sword was given to Yinghua so that she could protect me all the way. ”

Du Ruyan closed his eyes, swallowed all the words, and said nothing. Everything before and after suddenly became clear in his mind, and there was no need to wait for Mu Qing to say it in detail, as far as he was concerned, the original situation could not be clearer, this was to be coerced by Yinghua, and before he categorically refused, he forced Mu Qingxian to agree to lead the way for the army. Since this guide has to be her, it is conceivable that she is going to take the chicken and deer plug, and detour from outside the plug to the rear of Xue Ju to raid.

Since Yinghua can be hostage to force her today, then in the coming day, I am afraid that it will be Shiro's turn.

"Don't go." He suddenly opened his eyes and frowned, "You just don't have to show up at home, everything has me." ”

Mu Qingqian smiled and shook his head, pressing his hand, "If I really don't want to go, I won't make it so easy for her to get her wish." Just because my brother is still in Jincheng, I can't rest assured, this time, I may see the opportunity to find a way to protect him and bring him back to Chang'an......"

"I'll do these things for you." Du Ruhui raised his hand to interrupt her, "Shiro is still young, it's better to have his mother by his side." ”

As the carriage turned into Yongxingfang, she sighed faintly, "Don't you understand, this detour, except for Ada Aliu, who accompanied him back then, and the two dead soldiers brought by He Suizhao, there are only three people who know, He Suizhao is one, I am one, and Kang Saburo is one." He Suizhao is currently in the melee in Luoyang City, it is impossible to do the things on the side, and Kang Saburo, Erlang didn't know that it was he who led the way back then, but I was left behind, if I was confused for a while, or I was threatened by others again, and told him the way to go on this road, wouldn't it make him lose everything? Therefore, if I do not go with the army, it will be difficult for him to settle down. If I leave Chang'an, and the Chengqian Palace is relieved, Shiro can be stable. ”

Du Ruhui pondered for a moment, and sighed in a deep voice: "Erlang is indeed a little more suspicious than before. ”

"I don't blame him, he is heroic and upright by nature, but he has a heart for the throne, if he is not cautious and repeatedly, I am afraid that he will be crushed if he has not seen the dragon chair, after all, he has not really done anything unfavorable to me, his last resort, I can also understand one or two." Mu Qing comforted softly and slowly, and there was a ruthless unspoken sentence in his henchman, only saying to himself, one day, he may really want to attack his loved ones beside him, even if he does his best, he will also make him regret his mistakes.

Since then, Du Ruhui has persuaded her once or twice again, but she has already made up her mind, for the sake of her brother and Xiao Shilang's safety, she must go through this experience. And Yinghua has repeatedly guaranteed that with her inch-free protection, she can keep her sister safe and sound.

Within a few days, Ye Na heard that Du Ruhui was going to go west with the army, that is, even Mu Qing was going to follow, she was not stupid, she was thinking about it in private, and she had a rough perception in her heart, Yu Li's situation was probably not as relaxed as he said, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt flustered, and he came to ask Mu Qing overnight, willing to go back with her.

Mu Qing thought of Yu Li's original intention of sending her out to avoid trouble, but he refused to agree. Unexpectedly, the more she refused, the more uncomfortable Ye Na became, and after three or four days of entanglement, she said fiercely: "Since I have come, I have to go, how can I stop me?" If, if...... He must have been very bad, and he taught me to see him again, so that I would not complain for the rest of my life. ”

Mu Qing was from herself to others, and sighed in her heart, since she was determined to go, no one could stop her, but it was better to keep her under her nose and take care of her at all times. Seeing Mu Qing nodded, a tear rolled out of Ye Na's eyes, and then he hurriedly wiped it away, patted his forehead and said: "I'm also in a hurry, the battle is imminent, I didn't want to shed tears, Qi Niang, you don't have to be angry." ”

Mu Qing smiled slightly, "We don't care about this either." It's only a matter of these two days to leave, but tomorrow you have to put some effort into it. ”

……

On the first day of June, the king of Qin ordered troops in the west of Chang'an City, allocated 40,000 troops, and marched west to Xue Ju.

The day before, Du Ruhui had already entered the camp first, and at this moment he was standing at the battlement of the city tower, frowning tightly and looking down at the 40,000 male soldiers who were lined up in the phalanx below.

After entering the city, Li Shimin's Xuanjia army no longer needed to hide, and 800 brave and skilled soldiers were selected from each camp tent, 500 were incorporated into the Xuanjia army, and the other 300 were incorporated into the Yinghua Xiaocai battalion. Whether it is the Xuanjia army or the cavalry battalion, it was originally a change in color, but now it is as fast as a leopard and as strong as a wolf.

The dawn in the east extended to the west, forcing away the faint shadow of the moon in the sky, causing a long black and red cloud to burn in the western sky, as if a strong light was about to emerge behind the clouds.

Du Ruhui narrowed his eyes, his gaze moved from the army under the city tower to the king of Qin, when he came back from winning this battle, the king of Qin would completely overwhelm the prince and the other kings in his strength, and the martial arts had been decided, and the next step was to gather the hearts of the ministers and officials. The King of Qin will take a big step on the way to the throne, and he will have to withdraw from him at the right time.

Now the imperial aura on his body is like the light hidden behind this thick cloud, ready to come out, no longer like the Erlang who asked him for advice in the past, and now he is the king of Qin. When I was young, I was full of spirits and was willing to seek the original intention of the world, but at this time it seemed that it was not the same as I thought at that time.

As early as the day when Mu Qing went to the Chengqian Hall to thank him, Du Ruhui had already made up his mind. As the King of Qin stepped forward, he retreated step by step, and when he finally ascended to the golden throne, it was time for him to retire.

In the house of Yongxingfang, the nurse brought Shiro, who was sleeping sweetly, Mu Qing took it and took a closer look at his pouting in his arms, pouted and smiled from time to time in his sleep, and then stretched out his little tongue, and clenched his chubby little fist. Looking left and right, he was reluctant to put down his hand, and finally Ah Liu stepped forward to hug the child and comforted him softly, "Shiro is still young, and he doesn't know how to recognize his mother, when you come back, you can hold it for as long as you want, but don't miss the serious thing now." ”

Ada took the horse, and Yinghua and Ye Na were already sitting on the horse, knowing that she was difficult to give up Shiro, so he didn't urge, and waited for her to come out with the reins. From time to time, there were a few neighing sounds of horses at the gate. Mu Qing was ruthless, turned his head and walked out of the inner courtyard quickly, through the verandah, until he went out of the gate, and he didn't dare to look back.

While taking the reins handed by Ada, he turned over on the horse very quickly, shook off the reins and urged the horse, and trotted towards the gate of the workshop.

The three of them were all dressed in dark pigmented Hu clothes, except for Yinghua, who tied his black hair with silver rings, Mu Qing and Ye Na wrapped their hair tightly in a scarf of the same color as Hu Fu, and went straight to the west of the city to join the army. R1152
