Chapter 524: Wandering
The moon is bright and the stars are scarce, and the leaves are swaying.
The night is already deep.
Su Lianqing was dressed in a military uniform, leaning on the pillar of the white jade hall with a piece of grass in her mouth, squinting at the candlelit window, and spit out the grass leaves in her mouth to the ground with hatred.
"Phew! Man, sure enough, none of them are good! β
At the gate of the entire palace, she was the only one, and the rest of the palace guards were all taken away by her, the general of the imperial guard.
"What's the matter?" The more Su Lianqing thought about it, the more angry she became, and said with a broken thought, "I still want to meet my man, and I haven't seen him for a few months!" It's really a sin, it's cold and deserted in the middle of the night, and the one surnamed Qin and the queen are merry and happy inside...... I'm out there like a turtle slave giving them the wind! β
At this moment, a team of palace guards patrolled here, Su Lianqing stepped forward and waved at them, and the soldiers made a detour very familiarly. Walking around a corner, these soldiers gathered together and whispered to each other, I heard that the queen invited the marshal from the Tang Dynasty to the harem for a banquet, and he has not returned yet, could it be that he stayed in the palace overnight?
Some people say that this is not surprising! The queen is a young widow, deep and lonely, and it is inevitable to be tempted to see a romantic character like Qin Shaoshuai. It is also said that as a Muslim and the king of a country, it is really a taboo to have an affair with another man when the body of the deceased husband and the king is not cold!
This group of soldiers was huddled together and talking lively, and coldly saw a group of people rushing at the gate of the palace gate in front of them, still making loud noises. For one person, the body is extremely large, and in the night, it looks like King Kong descending from the sky, and the palace guards guarding the palace gate are scared into a ball.
"You little monkeys, hand over my young marshal quickly!" Listen to the roar of the man's voice like a tiger and leopard, "If it's half a minute late, Grandpa, I will crush your heads and level your palace!" β
Behind him, there were seven or eight Tang generals in military uniforms, who were also roaring loudly in anger.
The small soldiers were frightened by the situation in front of them, the general of the Tang Dynasty was not the master they could afford to provoke! So they hurriedly ran back and asked Su Lianqing for help.
Su Lianqing was full of resentment and had no place, and when she heard that someone was making trouble at the gate of the harem, she immediately became angry and called a few teams of soldiers to rush to the palace gate.
When he first arrived at the gate of the palace, Su Lianqing saw from a distance that a tall and majestic man like an iron tower was lifting a Kangguo palace guard with his clothes and his feet off the ground, roaring like thunder: "Either hand over someone or give way!" Otherwise, I don't care if you are my Datang friends or not, grandpa is really going to be hot! β
"Hong Tai, don't stop yet!" Su Lianqing hurriedly scolded and stepped forward to stop him.
"Stinky bitch, it's just in time!" Yuwen Hongtai saw that it was Su Lianqing, so he threw the pawn, pulled Su Lianqing aside, glared at her with tiger eyes and asked angrily, "Where is my third brother?" β
"You idiot, stop making trouble, follow me!" Su Lianqing was anxious, and dragged him to a secluded corner, and said in a low voice, "With me here, can Qin Mubai still make a mistake?" You idiot! - He is sleeping soundly on Her Majesty's couch right now! β
"Huh? This! ......" Yuwen Hongtai's eyes were really stunned, and then he laughed loudly, "Hahaha!" The third brother of my family is capable! Give the queen to ...... so soon"
"Don't shut up yet!" Su Lianqing was in a hurry, and almost jumped up to cover his mouth, "Can you still make a noise about such a thing?" - Tell your stupid brothers to come here, and stop making a noise there! β
"Okay!" Yuwen Hongtai was happy now, ran to the door in a hurry, and called several people who came with him.
Su Lianqing looked at those people, and immediately pouted, "Yo drink, what a big battle!" The eight military platforms of the Kansai Army have all arrived! What are you doing to catch the traitor of your young marshal? β
Xiao Xuanwu, Zhu Bancheng and the others were embarrassed and amused when they heard this, and hurriedly said: "The young marshal didn't return all night, so we are naturally worried." The young marshal also said that tomorrow he would march the whole army to the Sam River. Now that the young marshal has not returned, how can the three armies be without a marshal, so we have found the palace. β
"Humph!" Su Lianqing rolled her eyes and said hatefully, "Sure enough, as Wu Meiniang expected, as soon as he saw the queen, he lost his soul on the spot." It has been three hours since he entered the temple, and no one has come out. The two of them have been together for so long, and I don't know what they did. But I dare to conclude that Qin Mubai will not go to the Sam River with you this time! β
"Won't?" Yuwen Hongtai and the others exclaimed together, "Although the young marshal is romantic, he has always put the overall situation first, how could he miss the military affairs because of the love of his children?" β
"In my opinion, how to deal with his relationship with the queen is far more important than personally leading the army to the Sam River." Su Lianqing said, "Although Kang is a small country, he is the suzerainty of Zhaowu Jiu, and he can be regarded as the overlord of the border of the Western Regions. If it is not handled properly, it will also cause big trouble. In contrast, the current troubles within the Western Regions are far greater than the might of the 300,000 Great Food Army on the west bank of the Sam River. β
"You are a woman who knows what military affairs!" Yuwen Hongtai shouted, "What you said doesn't count, I'm going to ask the third brother in person and let him give an explanation!" β
After that, Yuwen Hongtai is about to rush in. Su Lianqing, Xiao Xuanwu and others hurriedly stopped him.
"You're looking for death!"
"Don't ask the third brother, what should I do now?" Yuwen Hongtai was also anxious, "More than 200,000 troops are waiting for his orders, and they will leave at dawn!" β
"Don't make a noise!" Su Lianqing reprimanded, "We are waiting outside the palace." Maybe Qin Mubai wakes up in a while, and he will come out to deal with these things! β
"Good! Then we will stay outside the palace together, and no idle people will be allowed to approach! Yuwen Hongtai said, "Just wait for the third brother to get up!" β
Su Lianqing laughed, "This is really funny!" Kangguo's harem was guarded by the generals of the Tang Dynasty! If this is spread out, it will really laugh all over the world - the famous Kansai Army General Yuwen Hongtai and the Eighth Military Station will give the cheating coach Qin Mubai the wind together! β
"Stinky bitch, shut up!"
In the bedroom on the side of the palace, Qin Mubai lightly lowered the corner of the open window and shook his head with a smile.
"Look at what this is going on...... Why did I really respond to Su Lianqing's sentence and didn't hold it? β
Glancing back at the king's couch shrouded in the bright light of the night pearl, the queen of Kangguo was wrapping her quilt tightly with her back to her, and her head was loosely spread.
I don't know if it's because of pain, or because of shame or remorse, just like a frightened little sparrow in a storm, trembling slightly and sobbing lowly.
Qin Mubai couldn't help but scratch his head.
In his past and present lives, there are many women he has experienced. There had never been a time when he was a little uneasy as he was today.
"Since she has already been married to a woman, why is she still a virgin?" This question kept coming to Qin Mubai's mind, and he also thought, "It turns out that she is not a demon, but a demon's twin sister Mingzhu, this matter is really strange, I have to ask it later." I'm really guilty this time! A good little widow and a queen of a country was actually ...... by me"
"Ahem!"
Thinking of those two words involving crimes, Qin Mubai felt more and more that he was a well-dressed beast.
That's right, this time, he almost "raped" the queen of Kangguo!
"What now?" Qin Mubai stood by the window and was stunned for a long time.
After a long time, Mingzhu, who had been facing away from Qin Mubai, turned around, and Qin Mubai hurriedly stepped forward.
Mingzhu turned her head to look at him, her eyes full of grief and tears.
"I'm sorry, I ......"
"Don't say it!" Mingzhu hurriedly pulled the quilt and covered her head and face.
Qin Mubai was at a loss for a while, so he had to sit on the bed gently, leaning on the bed ridge with his hands on his hands, and he was embarrassed to get into the quilt again.
After a long time, Mingzhu, who was wrapped in the quilt, stretched out a smooth foot to the outside of the quilt and gently touched Qin Mubai.
Qin Mubai hurriedly woke up and looked at her sideways, and saw her face exposed.
Neither of them knew what to say, and they were so embarrassed to be silent.
Looking at the face of the god and demon, Qin Mubai took a breath and said seriously: "Marry me!" β
Mingzhu suddenly shrank into the quilt, turned around, and turned his back to Qin Mubai again, saying nothing.
Qin Mubai scratched his head again, simply played the scoundrel to the end, lay on the bed and reached out to hug her.
This time, Mingzhu didn't dodge, just shrunk into a ball nervously.
"Pearl ......"
"You say!"
"Marry me!"
"No way!"
β¦β¦
"No, or don't you want to?" Qin Mubai put his tone very relaxed, as if he was ridiculing.
"Neither can nor will!" Mingzhu turned around, and the two of them looked at each other.
Qin Mubai kissed her. Mingzhu closed her eyes and clenched her teeth.
At this time, Qin Mubai was a little relieved in his heart, at least he could already conclude that Mingzhu didn't hate him. Although she had tried to resist before, it was not the kind of disgust and hatred that resisted, but out of a kind of reserve or contradictory struggle.
Qin Mubai thought to herself, as the noble widow and current queen of the king of Kangguo, and the constraints of Islamic dogma, it was natural for her to behave like this. However, if a woman genuinely resists, she will never behave like her. At least for now, she should be "crazy" abuse and fighting.
In other words, in her heart, she must also be willing to commit to herself...... That's a lot easier!
"Why?" Qin Mubai asked softly.
"Because I am a Muslim, I am the wife of the King of Kang, the king of a country. If I marry you, I will be laughed at and hated by all the people of Kang, and I will be punished most severely by Allah! Mingzhu avoided Qin Mubai's eyes and said in a low voice, "There are still ...... I don't want to be a substitute for anyone, even if it's my own sister! β
Qin Mubai was slightly stunned, he knew that the last one was the clearest reason in her heart.
The punishment of Allah, the widow and the king, are all clouds in the face of absolute power. Now in this situation, the entire Kang country is prostrate at the feet of the Tang Dynasty, trembling and subservient. If the queen of Kang Guo can marry the power of the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions, it will be a great thing for Kang Guo.
Perhaps, it was precisely because of such political considerations that Mingzhu introduced Qin Mubai into the harem to accompany him personally, and then half-pushed and half-threw himself into his arms.
Although Qin Mubai was fascinated for a while, he was not confused, and he had considered all these things. From the standpoint of the country and politics, it is not a big deal that he has slept with the queen of Kangguo now. Perhaps, the queen and the ministers and people of Kangguo will be happy and relieved.
But from the standpoint of men and women...... Qin Mubai knew that the demon might be a knot in the hearts of the two of them that could never be untied.
Qin Mubai sighed softly, let go of his embrace and stood up. Walked to the window with his hands cut behind his back, silent.
Mingzhu suddenly felt boundless loss and heartache, and silently shed tears.
"That's right, he just treats me as a demon, and he doesn't like me......" Mingzhu closed her eyes, let the tears slide down gently, and said secretly, "For the sake of Kangguo, I am willing to give everything I have, even at the cost of betraying my virginity to be punished by Allah." Wu Meiniang once told me that the demon has the most special position in his heart that no one can replace. If I want, I can use the simplest and most effective method to redeem the whole country from the poison of war, and enjoy the blessings of the Tang Dynasty from now on, and continue the national ancestry. The people of Kangguo elected me to be the queen, and I have this responsibility, and I have done so. But...... But ......"
"Mingzhu ......" At this time, Qin Mubai spoke.
"You say ......"
"I know it's unfair to you, but I can promise that from now on, I will love you with all my heart." Qin Mubai turned around and said seriously, "I admit that I treat you as a demon, and I can't restrain myself for a while." But that doesn't excuse me from passing the buck. I know what's on your mind right now. Rest assured, as long as I'm here, you won't be hurt in any way. I will not harm your country, nor your people. β
Mingzhu suddenly burst into tears, covered her head with a quilt, and wept.
Qin Mubai stepped forward and patted her shoulder gently, "Trust me." That's my promise. Time will tell. You have a good rest, I have to go out and fight those stupid guards outside the temple now. β
Mingzhu didn't speak, Qin Mubai got up lightly and walked out the door.
"Come back soon!" Mingzhu was in the quilt, and shouted in a vague voice.
Qin Mubai's whole person suddenly relaxed a lot, "Okay, I'll be back right away." β
Closing the door of the bedroom, he breathed a sigh of relief and shook his head, he didn't believe that he had done such a thing this night.
When he opened the door of the hall and walked out, Su Lianqing, Yuwen Hongtai and the others looked at Qin Mubai with wide eyes.
"What do you see, don't you know?" Qin Mubai pretended to be indifferent and stepped forward, and said with a dignified face, "What are you guys doing when you break into the palace in the middle of the night?" β
Yuwen Hongtai and the others hurriedly took a step back and clasped their fists and bowed: "The last general and others came to ask the young marshal, will they act according to the previous order tomorrow?" β
Qin Mubai nodded lightly and said, "Hong Tai, I order you to lead 100,000 cavalry to the Sam River to help the battle, and obey Su Dingfang's command." You remember, when you get there, you must respect Su Dingfang as the commander, and there is also Minister of Health Wu Mei Niangju, you don't follow the temperament of disobedience. If I let me know, I won't spare you! β
"Order!" Yuwen Hongtai took the order, and smirked at Qin Mubai with squeezing his eyebrows, his expression was obscene enough, as if he was asking "How does the queen taste"?
Su Lianqing was not annoyed when she saw it, and secretly pinched Yuwen Hongtai's ass twice, so painful that this man bared his teeth and didn't dare to do it.
"The remaining half of the army, jointly commanded by Xiao Xuanwu and Zhu Bancheng, is still in the camp outside the city, and then obeys my orders." Qin Mubai said, "The six of you will lead the army to the Sam River with Yuwen Hongtai. In addition, I sent a message to Su Dingfang, saying that if the big cannibal took the initiative to enter the fan, he would counterattack strongly, and with the help of the Shenwu cannon, he would attack it halfway through, and he could win a big victory. If the cannibals do not take the initiative to attack, then I will hold on; and if he retreats, he shall not pursue. If there is a battle ahead, report it to me at any time. β
"Order!" All the generals took the order.
Su Lianqing pouted on the side, and said secretly: Sure enough, he is drunk and gentle, and he won't go to the Sam River in person! Wu Meiniang, Wu Meiniang, you are simply like a god, you know Qin Mubai too well!
"Alright, it's all gone, Hugh is going to make a noise here!" Qin Mubai snorted, and Yuwen Hongtai and the others hurriedly retreated.
Su Lianqing was left alone, standing there squinting at Qin Mubai, his eyes quite contemptuous.
Qin Mubai walked forward after a few rounds, and whispered to Su Lianqing: "Su Lianqing, you did a good thing, don't think I don't know!" β
"IβWhat did I do?" Su Lianqing's heart was weak for a while, and she actually stammered a little on her mouth. She secretly scolded in her heart: The old lady has been wandering the rivers and lakes for so many years, but she is really weak in the face of this kid!
"If you hadn't drugged me in the food, I would have done something like this?" Qin Mubai snorted lightly in his white nose, his eyes narrowed, and his essence was shining.
Su Lianqing suddenly took two steps back, her expression panicked, and her face turned a little white.
"Humph!" Qin Mubai glared at her in annoyance, sighed again, and said, "Since the matter has already happened, I don't want to pursue it more." I don't care if you did it yourself, or if someone else told you to do it. In a word...... No one will ever know about it! β
"I understand......" Su Lianqing nodded honestly.
Qin Mubai looked up at the bright white moon above his head, sighed softly, and said, "At this moment, I really don't know whether to kill you or be grateful to you. Demon ...... Demon! Do you have the same contradictions and hesitations in the heavenly spirit as I do? β
