Leaving Yuan Tiangang's home, Qin Mubai went directly to Wu Meiniang's residence in the city.

It was once the residence of Prince Chaharmon, the crown prince of Kangguo. After the prince was killed for his rebellion, the Queen of the New Moon allocated a huge amount of money to renovate this place according to the architectural style of the Tang Dynasty, and then rewarded it to Wu Meiniang as her official position as an auxiliary minister.

The crown prince's mansion is already magnificent and luxurious; After the repair, it looks like the palace of the Tang Dynasty, the magnificence is amazing, and it is the most eye-catching building in the city of Sama.

Qin Mubai selected a hundred capable henchmen from his Yifu Guards Snow Eagle Army and sent them to Wu Meiniang as an entourage escort. Now, they have become Wu Meiniang's retainers and personal guards, guarding her safety at any time. In this way, there is a garrison of Su Dingfang outside the city, and there are guards inside the city to protect Wu Meiniang, and Qin Mubai is relieved to leave Samujian.

Today's Wu Meiniang is no longer a merchant girl, but the auxiliary prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, and will become the king of Zhaowu in the near future. Qin Mubai, as the marshal of the Tang Dynasty, it is reasonable to send her a guard, which can be described as taking into account both public and private interests.

When Qin Mubai came, Wu Meiniang was meeting with several city lords who had come to resign in the official office. Qin Mubai did not alarm them, but quietly went in and sat alone drinking tea. After a long time, it was getting late, and Wu Meiniang sent these noble city lords away, only to learn that Qin Mubai had come, so she hurriedly came to see her.

"Mei Niang, I'm here to resign." Qin Mubai said.

"I know." Wu Meiniang, who had been tired all day, sat down opposite him, sighed, and said, "I'm really tired!" Actually, I really want to go back to the Central Plains with you. I miss my mother and my children so much. ”

"It's very tiring to get a liquor store just opened, let alone build a country?" Qin Mubai smiled, "Mei Niang, you are really capable." If it were me, I would be too busy to do it. ”

"How can I do what you can do?" Wu Meiniang also smiled, "The Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate and the Nine Governor's Mansions all started with new creations, but you can move your mouth for a while, and the people under your command can do it all for you." You're a big protector, it's so easy to be! ”

"Why don't we change?" Qin Mubai said with a smile.

"Come less!" Wu Meiniang sneered, her expression immediately darkened a little, and she said softly, "Mu Bai, we have been getting together less and leaving more in the past few years. It's only been a few days since we reunited, and you're leaving. Sama was built more than 12,000 miles away from Chang'an, and it took more than half a year just to walk back and forth. See you again, I don't know when? ”

Qin Mubai held her hand in the palm of his hand and said with a smile: "Today's separation is also for him to stay together for a long time." Trust me, I will definitely be back soon. And when I come back, I'll bring all my relatives to me. When the time comes, we will be reunited as a family and never be separated again! ”

"Well......" Wu Meiniang nodded lightly, and said sadly, "I miss our child so much, he is only one year old, and I left him......"

"Don't worry, with Chen Yan and Sister Tantai to take care of you, Ying'er will be fine. Next time I come, I'll bring him. Qin Mubai suddenly thought of a question, "By the way, you don't want Ying'er to become the crown prince of Zhaowu Kingdom in the future?" ”

Wu Meiniang blinked, smiled slyly, and said, "Don't you want to?" The current Zhaowu Kingdom is different from the Kangju Kingdom, even the city lord is hereditary, let alone the king? ”

"That'...... No way! Qin Mubai deliberately made a blank face, "Ying'er is my eldest son, and he will inherit my title and family business in the Tang Dynasty in the future!" ”

"You are not vulgar, and you have learned the same set of the old masters in the Central Plains? But don't forget, you yourself are the concubine of the Qin family, hum! Wu Meiniang grinned, "Besides, you're thinking too far." Let's just have another child, won't we? Otherwise, it would be okay to let Xiao'er inherit my throne and become the second queen of the Jokhang Kingdom in the future. Anyway, they are all a family, and Zhaowuguo does not pay attention to bloodline like the Central Plains Tang Dynasty. ”

"Haha! You haven't been crowned king by Zen and want to make a prince, this is a big rebellion! Qin Mubai laughed, his face suddenly changed, and he looked at Wu Meiniang in a daze, "What did you just say?" ”

"What did I say?"

"You say...... Shall we have another child? Qin Mubai stared at Wu Meiniang and flew straight into the eyes, "Or, now?" When I come back from the Central Plains, I will have more sons! ”

"Phew, what did you think of me?" Wu Meiniang was angry and funny, "Don't make trouble, I have something serious to tell you." ”

"That's it! That's it...... Let's have a son!" ”

"You're serious!" Wu Meiniang glared at him angrily and said, "The queen convened all the city lords and ministers to discuss today, saying that the Zhaowu Kingdom is newly established, and it is necessary to send people to the Central Plains to pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. We all agreed that, as a sign of our sincerity and respect, it would be better for the Queen to go in person. ”

"Well, that's how it should be. The king of the subject country went to the Tang Dynasty to accept the title of Tian Khan, and there were many precedents. Qin Mubai nodded, "But if you want to accompany me, it's not very convenient!" First, I am leading the army and returning, and the military is inconvenient and the journey is arduous, I am afraid that I will not be able to take care of the queen. And now...... The internal situation in Datang is turbulent, and it is not suitable for the queen to enter Beijing to face the saint at this time. ”

"That's ......," Wu Meiniang nodded, "Then how are you going to arrange it?" ”

Qin Mubai thought for a while and said, "When the time comes, I will go back to Lanzhou first, and when the time is ripe, I will send someone to greet the queen and escort her all the way to Chang'an Miansheng." ”

Wu Meiniang suddenly laughed, the smile was not mysterious, and there was a little disdain.

"What are you laughing at?" Qin Mubai's eyes were straight and his eyes were confused.

"I said you, you can really pretend!" Wu Meiniang sneered, "Mingzhu is willing to walk with you all the way, just because she wants to spend more time with your ears and temples." Of course, it is also intended to free up time and space, so that I can slowly take over all the real power of Zhaowu Kingdom. When she comes back, the time for Zen Rang is estimated to be ripe. It's the best of both worlds, so why are you pretending to me? ”

Qin Mubai smiled, "Aren't I afraid that you won't be happy?" ”

"Forget it, I've gotten used to it for so many years and want to open it." Wu Meiniang shook her head helplessly and smiled, "Even if you don't have Mingzhu to walk with you, you still mess with flowers and grass along the way?" If you can't hold back your loneliness and provoke a few girls to enter the door, won't I have even more headaches? Rather than this, it is better to let the pearl accompany you! …… Anyway, she was really nice to me, like a biological sister. Although I know that she is not a demon, many times, I feel that she is a demon. They are just as gentle and kind, generous and selfless. Mu Bai, you should help her! She was really tired of sitting on that throne every day, and she was really afraid. ”

"It turns out that in this world, there are really people who regard fame, fortune and power as floating clouds. Mingzhu's personality is really very similar to a demon......" Qin Mubai smiled, "You said so, am I embarrassed to refuse?" Okay, tomorrow I will personally enter the city, come to the palace to meet the queen's treasure, and go to the Central Plains together! ”

"Okay." Wu Meiniang nodded, and said with a disdainful smile, "Looking at the reluctance to look, it's really scolding!" You don't know when I don't know, are you already in a mood? - You unscrupulous disciple! ”

"Haha! - Are you done talking? The disciple is going to have a son with you! ”

……

In the early morning of the next day, Qin Mu Bai Rong dressed up and led 100 guards to the palace of King Kang, and welcomed the queen pearl of Zhaowu Kingdom to Chang'an with an official state salute.

Mingzhu has already made all preparations and is waiting in the palace. There were nearly 1,000 Gong'e guards and all kinds of craftsmen and servants accompanying her, and they went to the Tang Dynasty with a large number of treasures of the Western Regions to present them to the Tang Dynasty as a gift. These rare treasures alone are loaded with more than a hundred carts, and the queen pearl is also dressed up, with holy stripes and shadow robes, golden crowns, and scepters, graceful and dignified and holy, which has a unique alluring charm.

Since that night, although Qin Mubai has seen Mingzhu many times, he has only been in public and has never gotten along in private. When Mingzhu left the palace and boarded the car, he put his hand on Qin Mubai's arm and wrist, looked at him deeply a few times, and used a little secret force in his hand to pinch Qin Mubai's elbow.

Qin Mubai flicked in his heart: Is this blaming me for snubbing her? …… Yes, along the way, you have to offer some affection. All told, I'm a little bit more affectionate. Although most of her commitment is due to political necessity, she, a Muslim, has always been under a lot of secular pressure, and she is the sister of the demon......

"Okay, let's not mention the demon for now!" Qin Mubai secretly said, "I promised her that I would treat her well, and it has nothing to do with the demon, let alone treat her as a substitute for the demon." This kind of thing is a great injustice to everyone! ”

The Queen's guard of honour left the palace and headed out of the city. Hundreds of thousands of people in the city were in the middle of the road to bid farewell, and the momentum shook the sky.

In the eyes of the people of the Nine Kingdoms, the unification of the Nine Kingdoms is certainly a great thing; However, the establishment of diplomatic relations with Datang is even more significant. This means that Zhaowu Kingdom has the biggest backer from now on, and can enjoy peace and stability forever.

Therefore, hundreds of thousands of people sent off the Queen of the Crescent Moon and went to the Tang Dynasty to pay homage to the Heavenly Khan.

Outside the city, Qin Mubai had already reorganized his men and horses and assembled them to wait. After Su Dingfang's men and horses came back from the Sam River, Qin Mubai reorganized the soldiers and horses under his command and the soldiers and horses left behind in Gongyue City, in addition to allocating a part of the soldiers and horses to the nine governors to be stationed in the place in charge, now Qin Mubai still has a full 300,000 troops under his command!

These include the men and horses brought out by Su Dingfang and the 200,000 Guanxi troops led by Qin Mubai himself, as well as the men and horses of the tribes such as the Northern and Southern Second Courts of the Western Turks and the Hulu Tribe, as well as a small number of cavalry sacrificed by the monarchs of the Nine Kingdoms of Zhaowu on the grounds of giving away Dawan good horses. Originally, there were nearly 500,000 people!

This strength, plus Pang Fei's left-behind garrison in Lanzhou, is close to the sum of all the troops in the Central Plains of the Tang Dynasty!

This is a bit sensational.

As a result, Qin Mubai has greatly reduced and streamlined the soldiers and horses under his command, and now the 300,000 troops under his command have as many as sixty percent of the elite cavalry, most of which are the elite Yue cavalry of the original Kansai Army and the cavalry of the nomads, with strong mobility and quite strong combat power!

Once, Qin Mubai thought that when he came to the Western Regions, he would have a battle with the mud familiar known as the God of War in the Western Regions. Unexpectedly, he was so vulnerable.

This proves that time has passed, and just before you know it, the Kwansai Army has grown strongly, and it is not what it used to be. Qin Mubai tried to think that if he wanted to fight with the Kunlun Iron Cavalry of Garqinling with his own strength now, the victory rate would increase by at least thirty percent!

Unfortunately, such an assumption is meaningless. Now Qin Mubai feels that Garqin Mausoleum must have died too early, and he has made himself feel a little "lonely".

The army of the Tang Dynasty and the honor guard of the Queen of the Crescent Moon marched to the northeast, and the first stop was to settle in Gongyue City. There, Xue Rengui had already reorganized his troops and horses to join forces with Qin Mubai and return to Lanzhou. By the way, Qin Mubai might as well test how well the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate in Gongyue City was built. The former Nanting Khan Bo Bu Qinqin and the marshal were familiar with each other, and were invited by Qin Mubai to temporarily manage the old Turkic land, and now he will go to the Central Plains with Qin Mubai to accept the official amnesty of the Tang Dynasty Khan.

The days of the march were boring and tiring. Fortunately, there are many capable people under him, who share most of the military affairs for Qin Mubai, so he is not anxious.

As for those leisure times, Qin Mubai spent them all in the boudoir of the Crescent Moon Queen.

Facts have proved that a woman like Mingzhu is like an iceberg on the outside and a fire on the inside. When she wore the queen's robe, covered with a veil and held the battle of power, everyone seemed to be holy and unparalleled, and she could only be seen from a distance and not blasphemed. No matter what occasion or who she is with, she will always be gentle and reserved.

But after piercing the layer of window paper with Qin Mubai that night, she was like a different person in private, and she was as passionate about Qin Mubai as glue and paint, just like all first love women, a heart completely pounced on Qin Mubai, sacrificing herself and forgetting herself.

Especially since she has already married a woman but has been a widow, now after tasting the fragrance of human flesh for the first time, the bed is even more intense and passionate, which makes Qin Mubai stunned!

really responded to that sentence, she was a noble lady when she went out, and she was a lewd woman on the bed.

At this time, Qin Mubai had to sigh at Wu Meiniang's "wisdom", and secretly said from time to time: With Mingzhu by my side, I have a heart, and I can't afford to go outside to look for flowers and willows!

Therefore, Qin Mubai's return from this march was brilliant and vast, and it was fragrant and graceful all the way.
