Chapter 535: The Queen of Heaven
Sama built the city, today the lights are colorful, tens of thousands of people out of Guo Qingying, so lively.
This is because the coalition forces of the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu have been withdrawn from the Sam River and will arrive at Samad today.
Although the war did not start and it could not be said to be a triumphant return, but with the help of Datang, Kang Guo had signed a friendship alliance with Da Shi, and since then the two countries have been allied to Guanhe Ningding, Kang Guo will no longer have to worry about war, and will soon return to the tranquility and peace of the past.
If you don't experience war, you don't know the value of peace. The people of Kangguo were only frightened by the big cannibals, and they felt this way. The nine surnames of Zhaowu, who have been fighting for more than hundreds of years, have achieved "success" in this unified action to jointly resist foreign countries, so that the monarchs, princes, nobles, relatives and ordinary people of the nine countries have understood the truth that "unity is strong, and division is weak" -- in this way, the call for the unification of the nine countries has risen again, and it has become the desire of the people.
Wu Meiniang, the female marshal and Minister of Kang Guo's auxiliary military aircraft, became even more famous and prestigious.
The 200,000 troops of the Nine-Nation Alliance have arrived outside the city of Samajian. Cheers thundered, colorful flags fluttered.
Qin Mubai also led a group of men and horses to greet him in person with the people.
One is to show the friendship of Datang, and the other is ...... He misses Wu Meiniang so much!
200,000 horses, boundless. The soldiers who returned from the expedition to see their relatives again have always been the most excited and excited. At this time, they responded with the people from afar, and the cheers shook the mountains and rivers, and the clouds were shocked.
Qin Mubai and the accompanying Tang army officers and soldiers were listed in front of the common people, taking care of maintaining law and order. At this time, the soldiers and horses of the Nine Kingdoms had stopped and were ready to camp with their troops. In order to respond to the people, a team of honor guards of about 500 soldiers and horses came out of the army, all sweaty, bloody, and golden. Surrounded by colorful flags in bright clothes and armor, there was a four-seater chariot covered with purple and gold umbrellas, on which stood a woman in military uniform waving to the people.
Qin Mubai saw the person in the car clearly, and immediately smiled.
It's not Wu Meiniang!
Wearing a military uniform, I almost couldn't recognize it, it's really unique!
The people were already cheering and thundering, and all kinds of languages shouted loudly - "Marshal Wu, Marshal Wu".
Qin Mubai slapped his horse out and trotted forward. He was followed by a team of 100 cavalry soldiers.
Everyone knows the relationship between Qin Mubai and Wu Meiniang, so wait and see how the two meet, so they don't look forward to it.
Wu Meiniang also saw Qin Mubai's team from a distance, it was the familiar Tang Dynasty military banner and Tang soldiers, as well as the familiar golden bright light armor, Qilin apricot yellow robe!
"Mu Bai! ......" Wu Meiniang's lips trembled slightly, and her eyes suddenly turned red.
From the time when Qin Mubai took command to go to Dafeichuan and parted from Qiongyu Villa, the two have not seen each other for almost two or three years.
During this time, Wu Meiniang was pregnant and gave birth to a child to run the family business; Wandered away in the Western Regions, was in danger for several life and death, and now he has returned from an expedition......
Scene by scene, suddenly like a dream!
"Mei Niang......" A low call woke Wu Meiniang from the cloud dream.
In front of him, he stood on a horse in a military uniform, with a familiar gentle and loving smile on his face, and in his eyes, thousands of parting sorrows and affection were written.
The guard of honor stopped.
Wu Meiniang looked at Qin Mubai in a daze, and was stunned for a while. I wanted to speak, but there was a thorn in my throat, and only my lips trembled slightly.
For a moment, she felt that all the strength of the past two or three years had turned into smoke and smoke. Now, she doesn't want to be a business wizard, nor does she want to be the commander of the Nine Kingdoms, and there is only one thought left in her heart - to throw herself into this man's arms and cry recklessly, and to pinch him fiercely, hug him fiercely, and kiss him fiercely.
Qin Mubai slowly patted the horse closer, and stretched out a hand to Wu Meiniang, "Welcome back." β
Wu Meiniang's tears could no longer be contained. She stretched out her hand and shook it with Qin Mubai, and as Qin Mubai reached out and hugged her waist, she somehow fell on Qin Mubai's horse's back like a cloud.
The people and soldiers thundered and cheered!
Wu Meiniang closed her eyes, and the whole person completely fell into Qin Mubai's arms, like she was intoxicated!
β¦β¦
It's late at night.
The breeze blows through the luanjin windows, and there are red candles swaying in the room. Qin Mubai's low snoring sound came from the milky white bed curtain, and on the golden bottle incense table next to the bed was a dipterocarp given to Wu Meiniang by the Great Food Country.
Although Wu Meiniang hated Nurman, a big food barbarian who looked ugly and could not be compared with Qin Mubai at all, it did not affect her love at first sight for this exotic spice.
"When the situation in Kang is stable, and the two countries officially repair trade, I will send a caravan to the homeland of Persia to make a special trip to purchase this exotic fragrance." Wu Meiniang leaned over and lay on Qin Mubai's side, supporting her with one hand, and gently caressing Qin Mubai's angular face with the other, muttering with spring on her face.
The glimmer of red candles reflected on her snow-satin carcass, floating with a vague and seductive light. The crisp chest was pressed on Qin Mubai's chest, and there was a faint layer of fine fragrant sweat overflowing, and the skin was blended with water.
Listening to Qin Mubai's slight and rhythmic snoring, Wu Meiniang couldn't help but smile from the depths of her heart. Caressed his face, it seemed that he couldn't get enough of it in his life.
"Why don't you sleep and be naughty here?" A hand stretched out and grabbed Wu Meiniang's palm, and Qin Mubai said without opening his eyes.
"Not sleepy."
"It's weird." Qin Mubai took her hand to her lips and kissed it lightly, "Marching and fighting, is that a job that a woman can bear?" Besides, you fought me for hundreds of rounds just now, and you didn't feel sore? General Ben was exhausted and nearly killed. β
"No shame!" Wu Meiniang was amused, so she twisted his nose and said with a smile, "I'm really not sleepy at all." β
"After dawn, you have to attend the banquet held for you by the monarch of the Nine Kingdoms, and there are many entertainments, so you should rest early!" Qin Mubai stretched out his hand and gently stroked her smooth back, and said softly, "You have been working alone for two years, how can you not be tired?" After a while, I will go to the Central Plains and come back, everything will stop, and I will accompany you every day, and I will not let you work so hard again. β
Wu Meiniang was relieved, but immediately showed off her slight cheeks, "You want to go back to Datang?" β
"Hmm." Qin Mubai still closed his eyes, "The imperial court is about to have a big event, I can't help but go back." β
Wu Meiniang's alert eyes lit up, and she reached out and patted Qin Mubai's cheek gently, "Don't fall asleep, tell me what's the matter?" Are you in a hurry to go back to the Central Plains? β
"Three days later, I'll leave." Qin Mubai opened his eyes, looked at Wu Meiniang apologetically and smiled, "I'm sorry, Meiniang, I just met again, and I'm leaving you for the time being." But the stakes are too big for me not to return. β
Wu Meiniang was not angry, and after thinking about it for a while, she said, "Is it related to the East Palace?" β
"That's right." Qin Mubai blinked his eyes to show his willingness and said to her, "You don't need me to go into details, you should also know the seriousness of the matter?" Actually, if it weren't for the fact that you would have waited for you to return to Samajian and then deal with the aftermath of the Nine Kingdoms together, I would have left a long time ago. dragged on to this day, and I was already anxious...... Of course, another important reason is that I miss you so much. It's a big deal, and I'm going to wait for you to come back and meet you before I talk about it. β
"Rhetoric." Wu Meiniang smiled happily, although she was unhappy in her mouth, she felt very sweet in her heart, and couldn't help but send red lips and kiss Qin Mubai.
After a while, the two faced each other, and Wu Meiniang said softly: "Mu Bai, have you ever thought about retreating bravely in the torrent?" β
"I've thought about it." Qin Mubai admitted without hesitation and replied, "In the past few years, I have been smooth sailing, and I have climbed too fast. Now that I am not yet thirty years old, I am already in command of the frontier, and I am just around the corner. But everything is always the opposite, and one day I am the most powerful minister, that is when I begin to decline. It is indeed a wise move to retreat from the rapids. However, my situation is relatively special, and I must not follow those wise people in history, resign from the official position, go into seclusion, and cross the river with the United States. β
"Why?" Wu Meiniang asked.
Qin Mubai smiled and said, "It's all said, my identity is special. β
Wu Meiniang glared at Qin Mubai in annoyance, but she didn't continue to ask, but pondered for a moment before she said, "I understand." It's nothing more than because you, the merry seed, are not only the concubine of the Tang Dynasty, but also the concubine of a princess in the northern grasslands, and the man who has not passed through the queen of Kangguo...... Okay, it's still my Marshal Wu's child. Is that what it means? β
"Haha! There are reasons for this, and not all. You think about the origin of my Qin family, my relationship with Li Ke, and so on. Qin Mubai laughed, "Cough! Your news is quite well-informed...... Oops, it hurts! β
was bitten by Wu Meiniang on the shoulder.
"I hate you to death!!" Wu Meiniang was so happy, she was still unwilling to bite Qin Mubai, and said hatefully, "Mingzhu's husband's bones are not cold, how can you do such a thing?" β
"I don't really blame me for that." Qin Mubai told each other in a straight way, and roughly told Wu Meiniang about the ins and outs of Su Lianqing and Yuan Tiangang's involvement.
Wu Meiniang was taken aback, "It turns out that Mingzhu and You'er are still Yuan Tiangang's granddaughter?" β¦β¦ This was really unexpected! Su Lianqing dared to help outsiders calculate my man, wait, I can't spare her! β
"Forget it, each for his own master." Qin Mubai patted Wu Meiniang's back, "Who asked you to give her to the Queen Pearl, and what kind of Imperial Guards general did you be?" From then on, she was not your person, but the queen's person. β
"That's right...... Ay! Wu Meiniang shook her head, "This Su Lianqing, just change the name to 'raise relatives'." β
"Actually, it's not her fault." Qin Mubai said, "In a sense, she is quite loyal, but she has changed her master a little harder." So it was then, and so it is now. She is now wholeheartedly loyal to Mingzhu, and she also wants to have a good future and a good home for herself. I learned this from you, Mei Niang. Don't you also want us to stay away from the Central Plains in the future and come to Samat to build this paradise and settle down? β
"I can't believe you're still saying good things for her." Wu Meiniang smiled, "Forget it, I'm not so stingy, I won't blame her." Su Lianqing has been with me for so long, I still know her well. She calculates you, but she won't hurt you after all - hey, no! How do you talk as if you're still at a loss? β
"Haha!" Qin Mubai laughed again, "Okay, let's not mention this matter for now - at the banquet after dawn, I estimate that the monarchs of the Nine Kingdoms will put forward a major bill, that is, the unification of the Nine Kingdoms." I'm pressed for time, and I can't stay long in Samajian. If you put it forward, you will approve it, and I will support it on behalf of Datang. β
"Okay." Wu Meiniang agreed without thinking.
"There is one more thing...... Qin Mubai looked at Wu Meiniang meaningfully and smiled, "That is, after the unification of the Nine Kingdoms, the king must come from the Kangju Kingdom of the Nine Clansmen." β
"yes, I know." Wu Meiniang said, "Actually, when I was in the Sam River, the generals and ministers of the Nine Kingdoms kept mentioning this matter to me. I told them that the matter would have to be decided by the princes of the nine kingdoms after the war was over. Now, it's time. Although we didn't agree clearly at that time, we all knew tacitly that only the king of Kangguo must be qualified to be the king of the nine kingdoms! β
Qin Mubai said with a smile: "But Mingzhu refuses to be the king, she said that she will give you the throne." β
"I'm not going to do it!" Wu Meiniang pouted, "I'm tired of being an assistant, and I'm still the king!" Besides, I'm not a member of the Zhaowu Jiu family. β
"Oh, that's the point? Ha ha! Qin Mubai laughed and said, "Mei Niang, don't hide it in front of me." If you don't care about this throne, how can you work so hard for a foreign country? Not only do you have the mind, but you also have the ability and opportunity. At a certain banquet, one of the monarchs of the Nine Kingdoms came to visit me, saying that the Pearl of the Crescent Moon Queen was only the widow of the first king who could succeed to the throne, and she was not a member of the Zhaowu Nine family. The implication is that the Zhaowu Nine surnamed countries do not attach importance to the identity of blood, and their thrones can be freely passed on to their clansmen or ministers. Also, some of them say that the word 'Zhaowu' is in Chinese, and it is quite related to your name 'Wuzhao', as if God sent you to be the king of the Great Zhaowu Kingdom! - Haha, although this joke is a bit far-fetched, I also think it is true! β
"You know it's all about talking nonsense!" Wu Meiniang said angrily and funny, "You just said - 'Jokhang Wu' country? β
"Hmm. The rulers of the Nine Kingdoms discussed many times in private, and some people proposed to restore the name of the 'Otsuki Clan', but in the end, it was decided that the name of the country would be 'Zhaowu', to show that the people of the country were of the same origin and did not forget their ancestors. Qin Mubai said, "Actually, it doesn't matter what the name of the country is, I only emphasize one point - you can only be called a king, not an emperor!" β
"I understand this...... Wu Meiniang also nodded approvingly, "In the end, the Great Zhao Wu Kingdom is going to become a friendly and subject state of the Tang Dynasty, just like the Silla and Baekje countries on the Goryeo Peninsula, they only call themselves kings and not emperors, and they cannot sit on an equal footing with the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty." β
"Haha, I even have the king name in mind for youβthe queen of heaven, how about it?" Qin Mubai said with a smile.
"Ze Tian? β¦β¦ The ancients, the monarch, take the law from the sky, but it is a very atmospheric title. Wu Meiniang muttered a few words, and said with a smile, "You're really happy...... Let me be king? Then you are my princess! β
"Ugh!" Qin Mubai was stunned in embarrassment, "What's this...... As long as you don't collect three thousand beauties in the harem, I don't care, haha! β
"If I'm not careful...... How many are you in your collection? Wu Meiniang smiled mischievously and defiantly.
"Then I will personally lead an army of 300,000 to rectify your harem." The corners of Qin Mubai's mouth grinned slightly, and he smiled very evilly, "You know! β
