The twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, the eve of the New Year's Pass.

The sound of firecrackers in Taiyuan City, brilliant fireworks can be heard in the distance above the Fen River, singing and dancing in the huge city where hundreds of thousands of people are gathered, and the border army camps that stretch for miles are immersed in the atmosphere of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new.

After 800 miles of travel, Xu Buling rushed to Yatou Bay in the upper reaches of the Fen River in the middle of the night and found the building ship moored in the port.

Taiyuan has been far away from Youzhou, located on the west side of the eastern front, nine hundred miles away from Chang'an, to the west, through Luliang, Yanzhou, it went directly to the vicinity of Yuanzhou, Yuanzhou stationed Xiliang soldiers and horses, to get there is basically equivalent to going home.

Arriving in Taiyuan, the wolf guard and the pursuers were gone, but the jade seal was with him, for the sake of insurance, Xu Buling did not rush with great fanfare, and there were still hidden tracks along the way.

When they arrived at the port on the bank of the Fen River, the time had passed three watches, and Jiu Jiu and Chu Chu, who were riding a horse together, were both drowsy, with a little haggard on their cheeks, obviously caused by the long journey.

Ning Qingye has a resolute personality, never showing his weak side in front of Xu Buling, sitting straight on a horse, his long hair fluttering with the night breeze, and he looks quite chic.

Seeing Chu Chu lying on Zhong Lijiu's back and falling asleep, Ning Qingye spoke:

"Why are you running in such a hurry, aren't you afraid of exhausting your nine girls to death?"

Zhongli Jiujiu was originally drowsy, but when he heard this, he suddenly woke up, but he didn't dare to say anything serious, but said softly: "What nine girls, early at night, you just call me sister." ”

Xu Buling walked beside Ning Qingye, he was actually very tired, but when he saw the boat floating on the river in the distance, he still smiled with relief:

"Tomorrow is the Chinese New Year's Eve, I have to sit together as a family and have a meal, now I am tired and nothing, I can rest well when I get to the boat."

After Ning Qingye saw the boat, he sped up his horse speed and ran to the river.

Xu Buling followed closely with the nightingale and the master and apprentice, turned over and dismounted on the shore, and the palace guards immediately greeted him.

The lights on both floors of the ship were extinguished, except for the wedding room on the second floor, where the silhouette of a woman writing was visible in the window.

Seeing this, Xu Buling asked the guards not to disturb the girls' rest, and led the horse to the deck, and walked lightly to the ship.

Zhongli Jiujiu didn't want to give tea to the sisters at night, and silently went back to his room. Chu Chu wanted to find her good sister Yufu to complain, but it was too late to disturb others, so she also went back to the room. Ning Qingye went to Ning Yuhe's room to report his safety.

Xu Buling let the nightingale go back to the room to rest, carrying the wooden box containing the jade seal alone, quietly walked to the second floor, raised his hand and knocked on the door.

Knock Knock –

"Come in."

When the door opened, I looked up and saw a candle lamp on a large desk, the room was full of joy, a red futon was spread under the curtain, and various gold objects were placed on the desk.

Xiao Qi, who was dressed in a black nightdress, sat behind the desk, her long hair was draped on her back, obviously just bathed, her skin was still a little red, as bright and moving as a hibiscus out of water, but her temperament was still cold, and there was no emotion on her face.

Xu Buling entered the marriage room, Xiao Qi glanced at it in a blink of an eye, turned around and continued to read the letter, but soon his expression stiffened, he turned his head suddenly, his expression was very different from the previous waves, he got up directly from the chair, leaned against the window, covered his stomach with his hands, and stared wide:

"Xu Buling, why did you come back?"

？？

Xu Buling's expression was also stiff, looking at his mature and intellectual fiancée, he didn't have any joy after seeing him, and he also showed such an avoidance like a snake and scorpion, his heart was not very comfortable, and he frowned:

"Qiqi, what's wrong? Not welcome me? ”

"Not ......"

Xiao Qi reacted quickly, knew that she had said the wrong thing, quickly put down her hand and stood up a little straighter, showing a smile:

"Xianggong, it's my rudeness...... I just didn't expect you to come back so soon, it's time to pick you up......"

Xu Buling nodded, although he was a little dazed, but Xiao Qi was busy with business all day, and when he was almost idle, it was normal for him to lose his mind a little too late, so he didn't take it to heart. He closed the door, carried the jade seal on the desk, and raised his hand to carry Xiao Qi over and do a big job.

Xiao Qi's eyes were a little frightened and embarrassed, and she was drawn by her sister's ghost under her belly, where did she dare to let her fiancé see it, she hurriedly took the initiative to attack, held Xu Buling's outstretched hands, stood on tiptoe slightly and kissed Xu Buling's face, and then said:

"Let's get down to business, big man, don't just think about Gentle Township."

Xu Buling knew Xiao Qi's temperament and knew that the situation was wrong now, so he was not too impatient, sat down on the Taishi chair, and patted his legs:

"You don't spend all day on->>

The mind is only thinking about business, and you have to rest when you should rest, otherwise your body will not be able to bear it. ”

Xiao Qi sat down on Xu Buling's lap very obediently, and smiled softly: "I don't want this, do you expect Xiang'er and Hongluan to think of it?" There's got to be a ...... for you."

Xu Buling nodded, feeling that Xiao Qi was a little too well-behaved today, not at all like the domineering, strong and intellectual eldest lady in the past, and secretly pondered, and only regarded it as a newlywed. He turned to his desk:

"Urgent message?"

When Xiao Qi got down to business, she hid a little shyness of the little woman, picked up the letter paper on the table, leaned on Xu Buling's arms, and said seriously:

"A few days ago, the gangsters Sun Gan, Shi Chun and others in the south of the Yangtze River provoked an uprising, which should have been arranged by King Wu, which was premeditated, and the government was also slow to react, but in just ten days, the rebel army was expanded to more than 20,000 people. Muzhou's defenses were lax, and the 3,000 garrisons abandoned the city and fled without even fighting, and now I don't know what it has become. ”

Xu Buling didn't seem surprised by this, hugged Xiao Ting's aunt, and looked at the handwritten letters of his old classmate Xiao Ting:

"The Jiangnan soldiers have never fought, and King Wu is in the way, so he naturally flees from the wind. What was the reaction from Chang'an City? ”

Xiao Qi picked up another letter on the table: "The Holy Lord's inquiry was furious, but he may have guessed that something was wrong, and he did not scold King Wu, nor did he urge King Wu to suppress it, but ordered the Protectorate of Western Liao, the two kings of Yu and Wei, to quickly send troops to Jiangnan to quell the rebellion." ”

Xu Buling nodded lightly: "It seems that Song Ji is not stupid." ”

Xiao Qi shook his head: "You and I are outsiders, we have received a lot of news, and we can see the situation clearly." Chang'an City is kept in the dark, and it must not be as far as you and me. Sheng Shang guessed that King Wu was doing tricks, but he didn't know King Wu's layout, so he thought that King Wu wanted to take advantage of the uprising of the displaced people. But according to my guess, the two kings of Yu and Wei must have already colluded with King Wu, and King Wu did not want to establish himself as emperor, but supported the strongest King of Wei with strong financial resources to ascend to the throne. At this time, the decree was sent to quell the rebellion, and the two kings of Wei and Yu were sure that the yang was in disobedience to the yin, and they took a day and a day to rest for three days to delay time. ”

Xu Buling thought about it for a while, but he greatly agreed with this statement.

The Jiangnan soldiers under King Wu couldn't fight at all, and the possibility of rebellion was better than nothing. The King of Wei was different, the King of Wei and the King of Yue guarded the south and met the enemy head-on with Nanyue.

The king of Yue is in a poor mountain and remote land, and the poor can't even get together the armor, and he is the one who plays soy sauce among the seven vassal kings, and he has no sense of existence at all, basically the king of Wei is the only town in Nanyue. Although the quality of the soldiers is worse than that of the northern Xinjiang, the King of Wei has the capital to compete for the world.

"Then Jiangnan is probably going to be in chaos, I don't know how many people will die."

Xiao Qi sighed: "More than that, the two kings of Yu and Wei did not move, and the rebellion was all dependent on the transfer of troops from the Liaoxi Protectorate, and a few days ago, the matter of the jade seal of the country and you was transmitted to Chang'an, in order to prevent King Su from attacking the middle road, Chang'an City transferred a large number of elite soldiers to the western front, at this time, if someone did something on the eastern pass, it would not be too late to even return to help." ”

Xu Buling frowned: "This is all planned by King Wu?" ”

"I can't say for sure, the result of all parties secretly fueling the trouble. The eastern front spans thousands of miles from Luliang to Youzhou, and it is not clear where it will start at all. We are in the west, and it will not affect us for the time being, just wait and see how it changes. ”

Xu Buling didn't have half a soldier under his hands, and he didn't seem to be able to do anything except watch the play, so he nodded and raised his hand to untie Xiao Qi's skirt.

After Xiao Qi finished talking about business, his eyes were slightly panicked, and he pressed Xu Buling's hand:

"Xianggong, you ...... I'm in the middle of the month, you go find Xiang'er. ”

Xu Buling was a little helpless: "Lady, you don't know how to remember the day?" ”

“……”

Xiao Qi was anxious: "I'm tired, forget it......"

"I don't need you to move, I'll give you some relaxation."

Xu Buling smiled and put Xiao Qi on the desk, moving gently.

Xiao Qi propped up the table with one hand, trying to block it with her hand, and her face seemed to be dripping red with blood. But she is just a scholarly lady, where is Xu Buling's opponent, and before she can see it clearly, her skirt will open.

？？

Flying phoenix spreads its wings......

Xu Buling smiled and looked down at the dignified and intellectual Miss Xiao...... So what......

The silence in the warm wedding room is quiet, and the pins can be heard.

Xiao Qi saw that the matter was revealed, her eyes showed a look of wanting to cry without tears, helplessly shielded, and said in a trembling voice:

"Hunan ...... Xiang'er's dead girl......"

"Qiqi is the most well-behaved...... Hehe......"

"You are not allowed to laugh!"

"Lady, take some hands, I'll take a closer look......"

"Alas~......"
