390, the deflated King Ning
The feeling of being greeted by two very beautiful and identical little babies in unison made His Royal Highness King Ning suddenly feel that an iron heart was about to melt. Immediately forgot the hatred that he was called a kidnapper before, and opened his arms to the two little dolls with a smile, "Good boy, come and show your uncle." ”
The two little babies looked back at their mothers in unison, and Nangong Mo nodded with a smile. Xiao Xiaoxiao kicked his calf to indicate that he wanted to go down, Nangong Mo leaned over and put the two back on the ground, and the two brothers and sisters really stood hand in hand in front of King Ning, "Uncle." ”
It's so cute... Wei Junmo's life is really good. King Ning sighed silently in his heart, seeing such two cute little guys, His Royal Highness King Ning couldn't help but look forward to having such two cuties, and he definitely didn't dislike children being noisy.
"Good boy, come, my uncle gave it to you, take it and play with it." His Royal Highness King Ning became generous as soon as he was in a good mood, not only did the two little guys get a heavy meeting gift, but even Shang Qiao did not pull it down. Of course, King Ning had long known that Shang Qiao was Nangong Mo's apprentice, and unless it was intentional, he would not do such a rude thing to forget him.
Seeing the two children holding the gifts they gave and thanking them obediently, King Ning smiled even more kindly.
"Young, An An, do you like your uncle?" His Royal Highness King Ning smiled very treacherously, and the adults present almost had to see the big tail wagging behind him.
The two children looked at each other and nodded. King Ning smiled even more happily, "So... Do you want to go to Xizhou with your uncle? ”
His Royal Highness King Ning obviously didn't know much about children, at least children at this age didn't have such great ambitions as wanting to see the world or running away from home. What they know is..."No, Grandma said that if you leave the house, you will never see Grandma and Daddy again." ”
Hey? King Ning raised his eyebrows and looked at An An, "What about Xiao An An?" ”
An An raised his eyes and glanced at him, shook his head very obediently and said, "I'm not free." ”
Not available?! His Royal Highness King Ning only felt that he was perfunctory by a three-year-old child. You're a three-year-old ghost, how big things will be out of time. But... Of course you can't be angry with a child, His Royal Highness King Ning took a deep breath and continued to smile: "How come? Xizhou Lichenzhou is very close, and my uncle will send you back after a while. An An, what are you going to do and are you not available? ”
Xiao Xiao seemed to be a little interested, and his eyes flashed wide, "Uncle, is Xizhou fun?" ”
"Of course it's fun. No matter what you want to play, your uncle can find it for you. ”
Seeing that her sister was full of interest, An An had to ask: "Is there a master as powerful as Uncle Qin in Xizhou, and someone as powerful as Uncle Qin?" Not... Uncle Qin said, I want to find a great Confucian to teach me to read, uncle, are there many great Confucians in Xizhou? "Don't think that An An Xijing is silent, he can also say a lot when necessary.
Great Confucianism? That's a god horse? Do you know what a big Confucian is?
"Uncle, do you have a pony? Do your horses lay eggs? ”
Laying eggs? Horses? Is there anything to do with these two?
After that, Xiao Xiao seemed to have discovered someone more powerful than Uncle Qin, and there were a lot of strange questions, and the smile on His Royal Highness King Ning's face became more and more stiff when he heard it. In the end, he had to look at Nangong Mo speechlessly: How did you give birth to such a noisy daughter?
Nangong Mo smiled but didn't say anything, Princess Changping seemed to be used to it. With a smile, he stretched out his hand towards Xiao Xiao and said, "Xiao Yao, my uncle is a guest, and you can't be rude to your uncle." ”
Xiao Xiao deflated his mouth, turned around and threw himself into his grandmother's arms, "Grandmother, I want to play with my uncle." I didn't be rude to my uncle. ”
King Ning also had to smile and say: "Fifth sister, Xiao Yao is a very well-behaved child, where can he be rude." "But this kid really talks a lot of nonsense, and it's really Wei Junmo's daughter, and she can't have a lot of eyes.
An An tilted his head to look at him, turned around and went into his mother's arms, "Thank you, uncle, An An and Xiao Xiao didn't go to Xizhou." An An wants to study and practice martial arts. ”
His Royal Highness King Ning only felt sweating profusely, he was still ignorant in the harem when he was three years old, and he didn't know what to do.
Nangong Mo looked at King Ning regretfully and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Ning, the child is still young and ignorant. When they grow up, maybe they'll like Xizhou? When it's time to bother? King Ning smiled, "The coming day is long." "But... Was it really a wise decision to bring these two with you? Especially the pink one. His Royal Highness King Ning didn't want to beg Wei Junmo to take back his daughter and son one day. So, this is a question that needs to be seriously considered.
Because the mother came back, the two children were very happy. Maybe it's because my father and mother have been away from home for too long, and the two children are also very attached to Nangong Mo. He no longer pesters Shang Qiao, and An An no longer holds those books that no one knows if he can read or understand. The brother and sister kept following their mother's side until they were tired and asked Nangong Mo to take them back to the room to rest. King Ning had Princess Changping and Qin Zixu to entertain him, and he didn't have to worry about Nangong Mo, so Nangong Mo took the two children back to the room to rest with peace of mind.
Two freshly bathed, fragrant and tender babies sit on the large bed. I couldn't turn around quietly for a moment, An An was very quiet, just sitting on the side and looking at my sister patiently. Seeing Nangong Mo coming, the two children immediately sat up straight and shouted obediently, "Mother." ”
Nangong Mo kissed each of them on the forehead, and said with a smile: "Why don't you rest yet, aren't you sleepy?" ”
Xiao Xiao rubbed his big eyes that were a little sleepy, "Mother and mother sleep together." ”
"Okay, lie down, my mother will sleep with you."
The two little guys were lying next to Nangong Mo on the left and right, yawning a little, but they still didn't forget to ask: "Mother... Did Daddy save my uncle? ”
Nangong Mo couldn't help but smile, after so long, it was hard for the little guy to remember what she said at the beginning. chuckled softly: "Of course I saved." ”
"Then why hasn't Daddy come back yet?" Xiao Xiao asked.
Nangong Mo said softly: "Do you miss your father and An An?" ”
"Hmm... Miss Daddy. The two children both nodded, and Nangong Mo said, "Don't worry, Daddy will come back soon." ”
"Bringing your uncle back?" An An asked.
Nangong Mo rubbed his son's little head with a smile and said, "Well, when the time comes, An An and Xiao Xiao will be able to see their uncle." "Although the two little guys don't remember what King Yan looks like for a long time, King Yan has also brushed a lot of feelings in front of the two little guys over the years. Even An An didn't forget to ask his father if he wanted to bring his uncle back.
While saying this, the two little guys grabbed the corner of Nangong Mo's clothes and quickly fell asleep. Looking at the two babies who slept sweetly, Nangong Mo's lips couldn't help but evoke a gentle smile.
When Nangong Mo walked into the study, Qin Zixu and Qu Lianxing were already waiting inside. Also present were Nangong Hui and Shang Nian'er, when Nangong Mo just returned home, Nangong Xu was taking Shang Nian'er out of the city, and hurriedly rushed back after receiving the news. Seeing Nangong Mo coming in, Qin Zixu and Qu Lianxing hurriedly got up and saluted, "County Lord." ”
"No need to be polite."
"Mo'er." Nangong Hui shouted, Nangong Mo smiled, looked at Nangong Hui and then at Shang Nian'er and smiled: "Second brother, Nian'er, how are you doing lately?" ”
Nangong Hui smiled: "What's wrong with us? It's you and your eldest brother on the battlefield that make us worry. ”
Nangong Mo smiled: "My eldest brother and I are also very good, second brother don't worry." Shang Nian'er said with a smile: "If it weren't for my father to stop him, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to help but go to the battlefield to find you a long time ago." Nangong Hui lowered his head a little embarrassed. As a military general, he naturally hopes to be able to go to the battlefield, if it weren't for his father-in-law's enlightenment, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to stay in this Chenzhou City with peace of mind, "Mo'er, don't worry, the second brother won't mess around." With the second brother here, Chenzhou will be fine. Nangong Mo smiled lightly: "I naturally believe in the second brother." ”
Hearing her say this, Nangong Hui was also even happier.
Sitting down separately, Qin Zixu sent some matters that needed to be handled by Nangong Mo these days, and also roughly talked about the shape of Chenzhou today. After several years of recovery, the people of Chenzhou have a good life this year. Even if the war starts now, after all, there is no war in Chenzhou and other places, so the people still live and work in peace and contentment. Wei Junmo and Nangong Mo both knew that sooner or later they would have to fight, so they had also focused on hoarding food in the past two years, and they would not feel a shortage of military supplies for a while, so it was not bad.
Nangong Mo nodded after hearing this, and praised Qin Zixu's ability. These days, Chenzhou and other places have been entrusted to Qin Zixu, and they are really orderly and have not made any baskets. The children of the Great Xia family are never allowed to be released, and even fewer are high-ranking officials who have mastered real power. Although Qin Zixu is in front of him, it is obvious that it is easy to be a feudal official on the ruling side.
Regarding Nangong Mo's praise, Qin Zixu just smiled faintly, and he was not too humble or too humble.
Qu Lianxing also followed up to report on the financial situation of the Chenzhou Mansion and the Nangong Mo Zixiao Hall these days. The profit and loss account books are clearly recorded at a glance.
Nangong Mo closed the account book file in front of him, looked at Qin Zixu and asked, "Regarding the matter of the Duke of Eguo, what is the opinion of Qin Gongzi?" ”
Qin Zixu was stunned, hesitated for a moment and said, "This... The subordinates don't know much about the affairs of the army, but they are afraid that they will not be able to build anything for the county lord. Nangong Mo shook his head and smiled: "You can talk about it casually, and I will listen to it casually." Qin Zixu thought for a while and said, "Here, my subordinates have a shallow view... The Duke of Eguo was a pillar of Great Xia and was loyal to the imperial court. Although the positions are different, but... The Duke of Eguo has a great reputation, and if we kill him, we are afraid that it will be disadvantageous. ”
Nangong Mo nodded and did not speak. Qin Zixu continued: "If you can capture the Duke of Eguo alive, it is naturally the best. If you can't... It is also best for the county lord to avoid the death of the Duke of Eguo at the hands of our army. In addition, don't let people spoil the body of the Duke of Eguo. ”
Nangong Mo nodded, "This is nature." "Nangong Mo does not have the habit of blaspheming the dead, not to mention that Eguo Gong is indeed a respectable old man.
Qin Zixu said: "The Duke of Eguo has made great achievements for Great Xia, and he does not fight for power in his life, and he is not greedy for gold and silver. Now it seems that it can be said that among the founding heroes who followed the first emperor back then, he is now the only one who is still honored. The world is not a little more concerned with the only one that will always look at it. Although Nangong Huai is still there, Nangong Huai has already ruined his reputation. Even if he died, he wouldn't be able to make any trouble. But Eguo Gong is different.
"If the Duke of Eguo is killed by us, it will inevitably arouse the hatred of many people and court soldiers. If the imperial court takes advantage of this to provoke it, I am afraid that there will be obstacles to our future road. If this provokes the imperial court soldiers to resist desperately, I am afraid that we will also suffer heavy casualties. Nangong Mo stroked his forehead and asked, "So, in the opinion of Qin Gongzi, what should I do?" ”
Qin Zixu said with a smile: "As the subordinates just said, we must not let the Duke of Eguo die in our hands." Don't take the credit for it. ”
Nangong Mo pondered, pondered and said, "Zixu said this, I'm afraid it's not just this one reason, right?" Qin Zixu was stunned for a moment, and smiled a little helplessly: "Sure enough, I can't hide it from the county lord, the county lord and the son's affairs in the Youzhou army, and my subordinates have also heard about it." ”
"What do you think?"
Qin Zixu said with a smile: "Actually, it's not an accident, since ancient times, there has been a saying that the merit is high. Although the Yan Wangfu and the prince are not called the masters, at least in the eyes of the generals and even a few sons under the command of the Youzhou army, they will not really be indistinguishable from each other. The credit of killing the Duke of E seems to be huge, but it is just the icing on the cake for Gongzi. I am afraid that it will also arouse the vigilance and disgust of the generals in the army. That's why the subordinates said, it's better not to. ”
Nangong Mo sighed lightly and said, "Sure enough, Zixu can see it clearly." ”
Qin Zixu said with a smile: "Actually, the best way is that if we can capture the Duke of E alive, we will release the Duke of E back." ”
Nangong Hui was a little puzzled, "Isn't this a tiger returning to the mountain?" ”
Qin Zixu said with a smile: "The reason why the Duke of Eguo is terrifying is because of his ability to lead troops to fight and his reputation. But if he is defeated and captured, and then put back by the county lord, how can Xiao Qianye not say that those old ministers in the court will never let him lead troops to fight again. The Duke of Eguo, who can't lead troops, even if he is a tiger, can only be regarded as a sick tiger, and there is no threat at all. "Qin Zixu really knows those old ministers in the court too well. Loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness are more important than anything else, and in their opinion, if the public army of Hubei is defeated and captured, it is already disloyal if he does not die to die and die for the country. The disloyal person is also a defeated general, where will he have the opportunity to lead the army again.
Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Good idea, but... It's too early to say that. ”
Qingyun Mountain is surrounded by the others, but it will take some time to capture or kill Yuan Chun alive. Although the method used by His Royal Highness King Ning was slightly damaged, it was also able to minimize their losses, and Nangong Mo had nothing to object to.
In the backyard of Chenzhou Mansion, His Royal Highness King Ning strolled leisurely in the garden that was not too big. He took a breath as if he was in a happy mood, and then stretched lazily. The guards behind him looked at their prince speechlessly, but they had nothing to say, they had long been used to it.
"You say... Wei Junmo, that kid and the county lord of Star City, aren't they particularly interesting? King Ning was a little bored, and turned around to ask the guards behind him.
The guard lowered his eyes, "The prince thinks so, so naturally it is." "He's just a little guard, how dare he criticize Gongzi Wei and the county lord of Star City? Although King Ning is a person who has no taboos, the person who can stay by his side for a long time will definitely not be a person who is as careless and unscrupulous as him.
Although King Ning was not very satisfied with this answer, he didn't embarrass him, but just snorted lightly and said, "Counting, the chassis of the Chenzhou Army is not smaller than that of Xizhou, right?" In addition to his identity, Wei Junmo's kid's current power is even if it is said to be a vassal king. "It's not small, Wei Junmo occupies six states near Chenzhou, and the area is larger than the Xizhou guarded by King Ning and the Youzhou of the original King Yan. Even when the first emperor was alive, the military strength was considered to be the first among the vassal kings.
"But you see, this mansion is no different from when we came here two years ago, Wei Junmo actually didn't bother to repair the mansion when he slammed the door." King Ning snorted lightly, remembering that it was refreshing for someone to pay a silver ticket at the beginning. was able to support Chenzhou and other places that were almost boring at the beginning, but now in this situation, King Ning feels that he can't estimate how thick Wei Junmo's family background is.
The guard glanced sideways at his own prince, he felt that the prince was depressed, he didn't know where Wei Gongzi got so much money.
"You say, is this kid really indifferent to fame and fortune or what? And the county lord of Star City, who lives in such a bad place and doesn't complain at all. ”
The guard looked up. In fact... Not that bad, right?
Glancing at his own guards, he knew what he was thinking, and King Ning felt that he had nothing to say to him. With a soft snort, he walked forward. Not far away, under the big tree in the corner of the yard, a small pink ball was squatting under the tree and didn't know what to do. King Ning's eyes lit up, he raised his hand to stop the guards from following, and walked over quickly.
"Yo, Xiao Xiaoxiao, what are you doing here alone early in the morning?" King Ning smiled and walked to the deep road.
Xiao Xiao was not frightened, but turned around and showed a sweet smile to King Ning, "Uncle is early." King Ning coughed lightly and took two steps forward, "Morning, why are you here alone?" What about your mother, what about An An? Xiao Xiao pouted and said, "My mother went to talk to Uncle Qin and Aunt Qu, and my brother and Brother Ah Qiao were studying in the study. I came to visit Feifei. ”
"Huh? Feifei? Who's that? King Ning was a little dazed. There doesn't seem to be anyone else here.
Xiao Xiao smiled: "Feifei is a good friend of Xiaoxiao, and Xiaoxiao likes to play with Feifei the most." Brother Qiao and his brother are always unavailable. ”
"Good friends."
Xiaoxiao's eyes were bright, "Does my uncle want to play with Feifei together?" ”
"Okay, let my uncle see, what does Feifei look like?" King Ning took two more steps forward, a little curious about what Feifei was talking about? Shouldn't it be human, bunny? Birdie? Kitten? Puppy?
He bowed his head and tossed under the big tree for a while, before he turned around and held a gadget and sent it to King Ning with a happy face, "Uncle, look, Feifei is very good-looking." ”
Moments later... A terrible scream rang out in the garden in the backyard of the palace, "Ah! You give this king to get rid of this! Take it away! ”
