A month later, it was almost noon.

Qin Mubai was on the school field of the military tun of the Governor's Mansion, training soldiers and horses with Xue Rengui, Yuwen Hongtai and others. On the big school field with smoke and dust, Qin Mubai was sweaty and his face was like a cat, and he was a little tired and panting.

Just fought against Yuwen Hongtai's barbarian on the horse, although it was a victory, but Yuwen Hongtai was too fierce and fierce and not afraid of death, and it was really tiring to fight with this kind of person. If it's okay to face the enemy before the battle, kill An Jing quietly with one sword, but now it's a competition, and you can't really kill him. Yuwen Hongtai was stunned but didn't think so, whether it was a competition or a battle, he went all out, and he didn't know what "releasing water" and "stopping at the point" were. In the end, Qin Mubai finally looked at an empty door and shot him off the horse, he didn't wipe off the mud on his face when he got up with a shout, and he was arguing to fight on foot.

The sergeants were fascinated by it, and there was another burst of amusement. Fortunately, Xue Rengui came out to persuade him, so he gave up.

"This stupid black, when it comes to fighting, he will be energetic, and he will not be compared with him in the future." Qin Mubai smiled bitterly, and was about to go to the barracks to wash his face, when a doorman from the Governor's Mansion hurriedly ran and said that there was a holy decree and asked the young general to receive it.

Qin Mubai hurriedly came to the Governor's Mansion, and it was Qian Niuwei who came to announce the decree. The content of the decree is very simple, saying that Her Royal Highness Princess Gaoyang will be lucky in Lanzhou and will arrive in a few days. Please do a good job of welcoming the Lanzhou Governor's Office.

After receiving the order, Qin Mubai smiled and asked the Qianniu guard: "When will Her Royal Highness the princess leave and when will she arrive?" ”

Qianniuwei replied that they were on the road with the princess's car, and they went to Lanzhou to report the news first, and the princess's car was escorted by a thousand iron armor led by General Qibi He Li, and it was already halfway at this time, and it was believed that they could arrive within five days.

"General Chebi He Li is also here?" Xiao Yun asked.

"Yes." Qian Niuwei replied, "It is reported that His Majesty the Emperor not only sent him to protect Her Royal Highness the Princess along the way, but also appointed him as the general of Her Royal Highness's guard, and he was sent under the command of the Lanzhou Governor's Mansion. ”

"Oh, good thing. Lanzhou has added another fierce general! When Qin Shubao heard this, he laughed.

Qin Mubai sent people to invite these Qianniuwei to the post house to rest and entertain them. He turned back to his father and said, "Father, I only had a relationship with He Li in Dengzhou, when he and the Xue brothers came to quell the rebellion with Li Tao. Father, what does this person know? ”

"I know a little bit about it." Qin Shubao nodded and said, "He is a Turk. 'Chemo' is the name of the tribe. His father was the Khan of the tribe, and the Khibi tribe inhabited the Altai Mountains. In the sixth year of Zhenguan, He Li and his mother led more than 1,000 people to join the Tang Dynasty. His Majesty appointed him as the general of the left leading army, and placed his people in the area of Gan and Liangzhou. Well, that's what I'm now under the Lanzhou Governor's Office. ”

"How is he?" Qin Mubai asked.

Qin Shubao smiled slightly and said, "Loyalty and courage are commendable. It is worth mentioning that a few years ago, he and the Xue brothers, Li Daliang and others also participated in the battle to pacify Tuyuhun. Several of them were ordered to lead the army to attack Chishuichuan, the Xue Wanjun brothers led the army to attack and lose their troops, and Qibi He Li led the army to attack bravely, repelled the enemy and rescued the Xue brothers. Subsequently, the Xue brothers did not dare to lead the army to attack again because of their cowardice, and Qibi He Li immediately made a decision, selected more than 1,000 elite soldiers, and raided the Tuyuhun king's tent and won a complete victory. However, when it came time to reward meritorious deeds, the Xue brothers took military merits together to squeeze out Qi Bi He Li. He Li was upright and indignant by nature, and almost drew his sword and used force. Later, His Majesty found out about the matter, and in a fit of rage, he wanted to dismiss the Xue brothers and transfer their official positions to Qibi He Li. On the contrary, He Li came forward to intercede, persuading His Majesty to take the overall situation as the public, not to provoke contradictions between Han and Hu generals, and refuse to accept official positions. His Majesty was deeply moved, so he pardoned the Xue brothers and praised Qi He Li. Since then, His Majesty has ordered him to be the guard of the North Gate, inspect the camp affairs, and marry Princess Lintao to him. ”

"In this way, this Qi Qi He Li is really a strong, loyal, brave and general general, and he is broad-minded and open-minded." Qin Mubai said, "However, Your Majesty knew that he had a gap with the Xue brothers, so why did he send him to Lanzhou?" ”

Qin Shubao said: "In the eyes of His Majesty, it is still the overall situation that is more seen. He Li was the leader of a Turkic tribe, and there were many Turkic remnants under the rule of Lanzhou, so it would be harmless to transfer him to Baili. As for personal grudges, that's a trivial matter. Isn't there still our father and son here? San Lang, Qi Bi He Li is a useful person, and he must make good friends with him. ”

"yes, I see." Qin Mubai smiled, "Besides, isn't he still our relative?" ”

"Haha! Although Princess Lintao is not the daughter of His Majesty, it is indeed a relative! Qin Shubao also smiled very happily.

"Since the emperor has made an order, Princess Gaoyang's luck in Lanzhou is a big deal." Qin Shubao said, "San Lang, you immediately start preparing for the princess's journey, don't neglect this little ancestor." ”

"I see, Dad."

Qin Mubai knew that his father had always attached great importance to Princess Gaoyang, and since he had spoken, he also began to prepare for the princess's journey. Lanzhou was making every effort to produce and develop, and he didn't want to be too extravagant and criticized, so he rented a wealthy village near the governor's mansion and sent some craftsmen to clean it up, which was barely eye-catching. After Qin Shubao visited, he said that this was not good, he was not worthy of the identity of Princess Gaoyang, so he asked Qin Mubai to expand and decorate it beautifully. Qin Mubai persuaded his father for a while, so that he reluctantly withdrew his fate, and he used this place as a line to entertain Princess Gaoyang.

A few days later, several horsemen rushed in from the east city gate and reported to the Governor's Mansion that Princess Gaoyang's car had arrived thirty miles outside the city, and asked the Governor's Mansion to send someone out to greet him. Qin Shubao was suddenly angry: "Why don't you report it early!" ”

Immediately, together with Qin Mubai, he led the officials and generals of the Governor's Mansion, and rode thousands of soldiers and horses from Yifu on the hour, and went out of the city to greet him. Qin Mubai had no choice but to rely on him. Who made his father a Zhenguan minister? The concept of gentlemen and ministers is deeply rooted in the bone marrow, and he is so satisfied with Gao Yang, the future daughter-in-law. In other words, it was Qin Mubai herself, sitting at home and waiting for her to obediently throw herself into her arms.

After the development of the past year and a half, the eastern part of Lanzhou was originally a wasteland vacant land, but now it is a lush farmland with green pastures and mountains and forests. After more than 1,000 horses rode out of the city for more than ten miles, they saw a large group of cars coming. Qin Shubao was overjoyed, causing the military academy to blow the horn and shake the sky.

The other party rode first and quickly stepped forward, and when he got to Qin Shubao and the others, he turned over and dismounted and bowed: "The last general, Qi Bi He Li, meet Qin Dudu!" ”

"General Qibi He Li, please get up!" Qin Shubao personally stepped forward to help him up, and said with a smile, "The general escorted Her Royal Highness the Princess, and it has been hard all the way!" ”

He Li has thick eyebrows and thick beard, and he is born with an abnormal martial face, a typical beard. He clasped his fists and bowed: "Her Royal Highness the princess will come first to report at the end of the fate, and say ......"

Halfway through speaking, he couldn't help but smile and stopped.

"What did you say?" Qin Shubao and Qin Mubai asked together.

"Say......" Qi Qi He Li said with a smile, "Let Qin Yuma prepare the fragrant soup early, she will take a bath." ”

"Haha, that's a big deal!" Qin Mubai couldn't help laughing, "This guy, she can say it." ”

"Don't be rude, what do you mean by 'this guy'?" Qin Shubao glared at Qin Mubai, and said with a straight face, "Please return to Her Royal Highness the princess, everything is ready, just wait for the princess to take advantage of Lanzhou!" ”

"Yes!" He Li turned over on his horse again, hugged a fist, and whipped back.

The princess's car approached. A gorgeous apricot cover powder big pavilion car, on which sat Princess Gaoyang. Excited in her heart, Princess Gaoyang also lifted the curtain from a distance and peeked forward, and asked several palace maids who were in the same car with her to help him see where Qin Mubai was. When I got closer, there was a jubilation in the car.

"There, there! See! - Ah, such a big battle! ”

The car stopped, Qin Shubao and others dismounted one after another, and stepped forward to pay respects: "Qin Qiong, the governor of Lanzhou, leads the generals of the Lanzhou Governor's Mansion to welcome Her Royal Highness Princess Gaoyang, and drive Lanzhou!" ”

Princess Gaoyang was dressed in a costume, wearing a palace brimming hat that hung down to her shoulders, and got out of the car with the support of the maids. Seeing that the formation was so formal, she had to temporarily suppress her excitement, and gracefully stepped forward and said loudly: "Governor Qin, please excuse me." Ladies and gentlemen, please excuse me. ”

"Princess Xie." Everyone stood up together, not squinting at the military posture.

Through the brim of the hat, Princess Gao Yang stared straight at Qin Mubai. If it weren't for the battle in front of her, she would have been unable to hold back and rush forward to throw herself into Qin Mubai's arms. At this time, she thought about going back to the city as soon as possible, so that so many people would not be staring.

"Hongu ...... I'm tired and want to go back early to rest. Tired Qin Dudu led the way. Princess Gao Yang said.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, please! The old ministers and others escorted the princess into the city. ”

"There is the governor of Lao Qin and you." After that, Princess Gaoyang had no choice but to return to the car, but she turned back three times in one step, and glanced at Qin Mubai from time to time.

Qin Mubai was also a little excited. I haven't seen him for more than half a year, and I really miss Gao Yang very much. Moreover, Princess Gaoyang also seems to have added a touch of maturity and enchanting charm than before, and is full of charm. Looking at the somewhat straight eyes of the generals around her, you can see how attractive she is now.

The princess got into the car, Qin Shubao personally led the way, and Qin Mubai sent it from the car. Princess Gaoyang couldn't hold it anymore, so she opened a curtain and whispered: "Mu Bai, Mu Bai!" ”

Qin Mubai smiled, patted his horse over and said, "What does Her Royal Highness the princess command?" ”

"Hee-hee! I'm coming! Princess Gaoyang's smile was unusually bright.

"Do you know all of Lanzhou about this, do you still need to say it?" Qin Mubai laughed teasingly.

"Hmph, don't you want me?" Princess Gao Yang's nose wrinkled.

"Yes." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Just like you want me." But now that there are 180 pairs of ears listening to us, are you too embarrassed to flirt with me? ”

"Hey, hey! Let them be jealous, I don't care! Princess Gaoyang smiled sheepishly, suddenly frowned, shrugged her shoulders and scratched her ears, and said, "Have you prepared fragrant soup for me, I want to bathe!" I'm annoyed, I haven't taken a shower for two days, and my body is going to stink! ”

"Haha, there is a shortage of water in Lanzhou, and our people here only take a bath once a year." Qin Mubai smiled deliberately.

"Ah, no, wouldn't it?" Princess Gao Yang was shocked, "Then, isn't that stinking to death?" Woo! Honestly, how long has it been since you showered? ”

"Hmm...... It seems that I washed it once when I first came. Qin Mubai said matter-of-factly.

"Oh my God, wouldn't it?" Princess Gao Yang suddenly cried and mourned, "If I had known, I wouldn't have come!" …… What kind of place is this, it's all sand and stones, and there's no water! ”

"Regret? It's still too late to turn back, so how about letting General Qibi He Li work hard again and send you back? Qin Mubai said with a smile.

"Don't!" Princess Gaoyang's face changed as if she was doing a trick, and suddenly smiled again, "You stink, I stink." Let's not dislike it, just order it! Anyway, as long as I can be with you, I can do anything! ”

"What did you say?" Qin Mubai smiled evilly, "Then from today onwards, we won't take a bath to see who stinks better." ”

"I hate it to death, and I am coaxed again!"

The car drove into the city, and the people of Lanzhou welcomed them in the middle of the road, and they saw the excitement again. Princess Gaoyang was quite happy, and said with a smile: "The people of Lanzhou are quite simple and enthusiastic. ”

When he arrived at the Governor's Mansion, Qin Shubao invited Princess Gaoyang to the main hall, formally greeted the princess, and prepared to arrange a banquet for the princess.

Princess Gaoyang endured it for a long time, but at this time she couldn't bear it anymore, she walked to Qin Shubao's side and whispered, "Yiguo Gong, or ...... Why don't you let me go back and wash the dust first? I'm sick to death! ”

"Haha, let Saburo arrange it for you!" Qin Shubao laughed, and his mood was quite cheerful.

"Hehe, thank you, ...... Yiguo!" Princess Gaoyang was well-behaved and short, and performed a palace woman's ceremony. Happy Qin Shubao's heart was full of joy, and he was tormented by the micro-ministers, and the micro-ministers were tormented. The officials next to him all laughed happily.

"Mu Bai, let's go!" Princess Gaoyang finally waited for this, and she didn't care about the many people present, so she stretched out her little hand and pulled Qin Mubai away.

The two of them left the Governor's Mansion, but Princess Gaoyang still didn't let go, and ran forward in a hurry.

"Where are you going?" Qin Mubai smiled and pulled her to a halt.

"Oh, where do I live?" Princess Gao Yang remembered this and asked with a smile.

"It's right next door to the Governor's Mansion!" Qin Mubai said it and brought her to her line. Princess Gao Yang glanced at it, and suddenly her face turned away: "That's it?" Why is it so shabby! ”

"Didn't you say that as long as you can be with me, you can do anything? Lanzhou is not as good as the capital, is it possible that you still want to live in a palace-like mansion? Qin Mubai pursed his lips and said.

"Okay, okay, as long as it's arranged by you, that's fine." Princess Gao Yang immediately smiled, "Come in, I can't wait!" ”

"Isn't it just a bath, what's there to hurry?" Qin Mubai was pulled by her all the way and rushed into Xingyuan. The palace maids and the accompanying soldiers were interested, and they consciously fell behind.

Princess Gaoyang snickered, pulled Qin Mubai all the way into the room, covered the door, and threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly: "Thief Military Academy, stinky man, I want to die!" ”

The beauty was lying like jade in Huaijiao, Qin Mubai couldn't help but feel overjoyed, hugged her tightly, and kissed her on the cherry lips.

"Miss me, stinky man?" Princess Gaoyang replied with a kiss of forgetfulness, and asked in a hurry.

"Don't talk, concentrate!" Qin Mubai hugged him hard, and Princess Gaoyang screamed in surprise, giggling: "Villain!" - Don't mess with me, let me go take a shower first. It's stinking to death! ”

"It's okay, I don't dislike it!"

"Woo, here we go again! ……”
