Volume 1 The Return of the General Chapter 3 The General in Red
The storyteller cleared his throat and said in a high tone:
Don't worry,
Listen to me slowly,
Everyone in the world knows Xiao Erlang, brave and good at fighting on the frontier.
Who knew that it was a female Jiao'e......
Guarding Nanyi,
Zhan Lou Lan β

At this time, the city is very lively, but it is not all the reason why Daqi is about to hold the Mid-Autumn Festival chasing the moon.
The most important reason is that today is the day of the triumph of the army.
The people rushed to take a look at the dignity of the "general of the underworld" to see if it was the same as the rumored "head like the head of an ox, face like a horse, and a beard as big as a lion".
The city gate opened, and the royal capital looked lively and unbearable like a hot current, feeling this hot current, obviously the pace of the horses was confident, stepping on the drum, shaking the flag and shaking.
There are two kinds of banners in the hands of this army.
One is the yellow "Qi" character flag made of silk brocade, which is the banner of Daqi, headed by it.
The other is the dazzling "Xiao" flag that is as red as the round sun, and this is the banner of General Xiao's "Xiao Family Army", which is the majority.
Because the Xiao family has been a general for generations, the name of "Xiao Family Army" was personally awarded by the first king.
And the one who came at the head rode on a tall horse, and the horse's hair was black and shiny. The man was dressed in red, his eyebrows were like a sword, his eyes were like stars, his body was slender, and his posture was heroic.
This must be the commander of the Xiao family's army, the current general of Zhenguo, and the youngest handsome in the history of Daqi: Xiao Qiao.
The girls in the royal capital were obviously a little uncontrollable, and the screams came one after another.
"If I also rode a tall horse to the forefront, the girl of the royal capital would definitely be crazy for me." Daifuku smashed his mouth at Erfu.
"Come on, brother, you don't look at yourself like a bear!"
The others looked at the two brothers who were glaring at each other, and their eyes were suddenly a little confused. It was as if there was a mirror between the two of them, and they were carved out of a mold.
But these two people had two huge dark circles on their faces at this time, and the brothers couldn't understand why she looked like she was full of spring.
The person who can be the leader is clearly the thin thief who sneaked into the city to visit the kiln last night!
But at this time, who would have thought that she was the thief who took the lead in drilling the dog hole last night? But this man smiled proudly at this time, straightened up, as if a big red flower was placed on his chest, and raised his eyebrows and winked from time to time.
Although Xiao Qiao also took a hasty stroll around Luoning City yesterday, but after all, it was not meticulous, and it was not in such a state as it is now, the people on the left and right greeted each other, and there were still some officials in front, and with the etiquette and music at this time, she thought to herself No wonder everyone wants to live in the temple high, this kind of feeling of being a person, who is resting, who is not floating?
But in the next second, her expression was immediately unnatural.
The one who stood at the front to greet herβ
Isn't it the general who swept away pornography and illegal activities yesterday!
At this time, Ye Sheath was looking at her with a strange look.
Ye Sheath is a martial champion, although he is a general of Tongcheng, the official residence of the three grades, but he is very disgusted with officialdom, disgusted with the pomp of the powerful, today Xiao Jiajun triumphed, Wang Du was preparing for this grand reception half a month ago. Although Ye Sheath also admired Xiao Qiao in his heart, at this time, it was obviously even more disdainful.
"Greetings to the generals of Zhenguo and all the soldiers!"
As soon as Father-in-law Wei saw Xiao Qiao, his legs were very numb, and he immediately greeted him, stood in a very conspicuous position, and said in a voice of yin and yang.
Ye Sheath was also shocked when he first saw Xiao Qiao, he had heard that Xiao Qiao was young, but now he saw that he was really an outstanding young man, except for a little arrogance in his eyes, he was very good. Seeing that Father-in-law Wei had finished saying those clichΓ©s at this time, he just said politely: "The last general Ye Shea." β
Xiao Qiao returned the salute embarrassedly, slightly tilted his head to look at Dafu Erfu, and saw that the two brothers were also hiding in the crowd at this time.
Ye Shea looked at Xiao Qiao's expression, it seemed a little unnatural, it was obvious that Xiao Qiao was deliberately staggering his eyes, Ye Sheath suddenly felt ...... Why does Xiao Qiao look a little familiar? But in the year that Ye Sheath entered Luoning City, Xiao Qiao had already gone out to fight, and it stands to reason that the two had never seen each other.
Ye Sheath was a straight person, and when he thought of something, he asked something: "General Xiao, has the last general met with General Xiao?" β
"Seen? Haven't you...... When have you seen it? I've never seen it! I've never seen it! "Xiao Qiao is serious.
"It looks like it was ...... last night," Ye Sheath thought carefully.
Xiao Qiao coughed lightly with a calm face, and his brain was running quickly What to do, mainly because he was hit by Ye Sheath pushing the door yesterday, and today he deliberately covered his forehead with a red wipe, how embarrassing it would be if he was discovered.
"That's right, it was last night......"
Xiao Qiao was about to speak, but Ye Sheath continued: "Yesterday, I confiscated some fake paintings in the market, and one of them depicts General Xiao's youth. β
Xiao Qiao breathed a long sigh of relief.
Father-in-law Wei asked cautiously: "General, general, go into the palace with the slave." β
When Xiao Qiao heard the words "enter the palace", he chuckled in his heart and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"Go to the palace." Grandpa Wei squeezed a bunch of smiles.
"Where?" Xiao Qiao asked with his head sideways.
"Palace!"
"What?"
"Palace." Wei Gonggong said in a straight voice.
"Oh! Old Gong! Hey, you tell Lao Gong for me that I will visit him at his house another day, and I am tired at this time. Xiao Qiao smiled and waved his hand. She had already thought about it, she wouldn't go into the palace today no matter what, go back to the house directly, and don't care who he invites to greet her, so she doesn't want to enter the court half a step.
I thought about it, today's dynasty is nothing more than a group of well-dressed but pot-bellied people who praise each other.
What kind of place did she not want to go?
However, who is Lao Gong? Ye Sheh was puzzled, there were no soldiers and officials surnamed Gong in the court, could it be that they were friends of General Xiao? Thinking about it and suddenly sighing, I didn't expect Xiao Qiao to be proud, but he was jealous of his talents, and he had a problem with his ears.
But Father-in-law Wei is still amiable, he has seen that Xiao Qiao is pretending to be deaf, unlike the leaf sheath next to him, he really believes her, Father-in-law Wei quickly walked to Xiao Qiao's horse with small steps, and said with a smile: "General, the emperor is still waiting to pick up the wind and wash the dust for you!" β
Xiao Qiao saw that Father-in-law Wei was like this, and she couldn't show her acting skills anymore, so she leaned down and said to him, "Father-in-law Wei, can you bring a word for me?" β
"Nature, nature! It's a pleasure! Father-in-law Wei looked dog-legged.
"You help me bring a sentence," Xiao Qiao raised the corners ......of his mouth.
Father-in-law Wei's face was shocked, but Xiao Qiao smiled brightly, Ye Yan looked at this scene, thinking that it might be some kind of powerful person's business, and his face sank after thinking about it.
Xiao Qiao's back was far away for a long time, and Father-in-law Wei was stunned in place, and the words she just said echoed in his ears.
-
By the time Gonggong Wei returned to the palace, the dynasty should have dispersed a long time ago, but at this time, the ministers were neatly lined up in the court, waiting for the general to pay homage to the court, and then a large number of rewards and canonizations and other procedures.
The people in the seat had their eyes closed, and there was no expression on their faces.
Gonggong Wei swallowed his saliva and bowed his waist to the surroundings, although he was the old man of the two dynasties in this palace, but Xiao Qiao's move, he really hadn't seen it, and stammered: "Go back to the emperor...... Shaw...... General Xiao had arrived in Beijing at one o'clock in the morning...... And then...... Then he led the generals back to the general's mansion......"
"Going home?" Everyone whispered to each other.
"General Xiao also asked the old slave to bring a message to the emperor......"
Before Father-in-law Wei finished speaking, the person on the seat slowly raised his eyes and said softly: "Got it, go down." β
"Huh?" Wei Gonggong was stunned, and the people on the seat had already left.
In the morning, everyone talked about it.
"It is said that General Xiao is proud of his youth, but I didn't expect it to be so wanton."
"That Xiao Qiao is nothing more than relying on the battle of the opening of the dynasty! It's just self-sustaining! Qin Xiang, what do you think? β
The man walking in the middle, his eyebrows were full of majesty, and even his beard was meticulous, he was already over half a hundred years old, and there was no trace of gray in his hair.
"In his early twenties, he made such a feat, young man, he should have this kind of blood."
Qin Xiang said slowly, and he just caught a glimpse of Mu Yi passing by.
"Wood-sama."
Only then did the officials recall, no wonder they felt a little strange in the court today, it turned out that someone who shouldn't have come - Mu Yi.
He has no official position and no position, so he shouldn't have appeared in the early dynasty, but he is the most trusted by the emperor, could it be-
A strange look flashed in Qin Xiang's eyes.
-
At this time, in the Tuluan Palace, Gu Beixuan was sitting and stroking chess, and Mu Yi was standing on one side.
The solemn black in the hall revealed a hint of coolness.
Wei Gongcheng was reporting to Gu Beixuan about the rewards he had just given to the soldiers.
Although the emperor looks approachable and gentle like jade on weekdays, every time he steps into this Tuoluan Palace, Father-in-law Wei can always feel a hint of murder, and he feels a chill behind him.
"Your Majesty...... This...... General Fang Cai Xiao asked the old slave to submit a message to the emperor......"
The person on the seat closed his eyes lightly, holding black in his left hand and white in his right hand. Dressed in black, he looks graceful and luxurious under the golden line of the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing. No sound seemed to be heard.
ββ¦β¦ Emperor? Father-in-law Wei asked in a raised voice.
Half a moment. Open. Fall into chess. He slowly raised his eyes and smiled slowly: "What do you say?" β
The general said......" Father-in-law Wei glanced at him embarrassedly, buried his head deeper, "I want to sleep, don't go to ...... early"
Unexpectedly, Gu Beiyu actually smiled, and even a trace of tenderness swept in her eyes: "I know, when she wants to come to see me, she will naturally come." β
"Yes......" Father-in-law Wei retreated.
After chess, he flicked his black sleeves, and the chessboard fought into a group, and Mu Yi could not distinguish the winner or loser.
Suddenly, he chuckled.
"Do you know the concubine?"
"Yes." Mu Yi glanced at him and led the order to go out.
After the silence of the main hall was restored, the faces of the people sitting on the seats suddenly changed, and the chess game was confused.
With a flick of the hand, who can judge whether it is right or wrong?
In that year, the court was in turmoil, foreign races and foreign troubles, in that war, who could judge right and wrong?
Now that Xiao Qiao has returned to the dynasty, is it right or wrong?
He wanted to see her, how could he not want to? But he didn't dare.
That year, Xiao's family was beheaded by thieves, and he rescued Xiao Qiao from the secret room three months later, and he helped her hide her identity from the world. And now that she's back, it's really sad and sad. What happened in that chaos, can you hide it from her?
Gu Beixuan held his forehead with his hands, and suddenly his chest churned, coughing up a ball of black blood.
