After three days in Dafeichuan, Qin Mubai inspected the army here and inspected the defense, and was very satisfied.

Dafeichuan is Helong's first line of defense against Tubo, and it is also a big barrier on the Great Western Front, no matter when there is no room for the slightest mistake here, this point is that when Qin Mubai or Qin Shubao is in power, it is the most important thing to do. Xue Wanjun, the veteran of the battlefield, naturally understands the meaning, so he can do his best to do things. The previous emperor commended the generals of Lanzhou, Qin Mubai pushed Xue Wanjun out for the first time, so that he was promoted to a knight and tasted a lot of sweetness, and Qin Mubai, who only received intangible assets for marrying a princess, received ten times more rewards. Since then, Xue Wanjun has become more motivated, and Qin Mubai has become more worry-free.

Dafeichuan here, it should be rest assured. Qin Mubai can let go of his hands and feet to run Lanzhou's internal affairs, and slowly shift his strategic focus to Yuyang, Loulan and Gaochang, where his father is located.

On this day, the Lanzhou Governor's Mansion sent a messenger with a fast horse, saying that Su Dingfang's envoy sent a letter to report that the father and daughter of the Jiangxia King were about to arrive in Lanzhou, and that a large amount of grain and grass transported by the Yishang Wu clan was also about to arrive, and asked the Metropolitan Governor to return to the palace to preside over the overall situation. Qin Mubai left Dafeichuan and returned to Lanzhou.

In the past few days of staying in Dafeichuan, there is one thing that is more interesting. Hou Junji, who has always pretended not to care about anything, stumbles to the barracks from time to time. Qin Mubai knew that he really wanted to see the red-clothed cannon with his own eyes, but he couldn't open it out of reserve. The soldiers guarding the fort were all "unkind" and strictly guarded, and no one was close, so Hou Junji could be regarded as panicked.

Qin Mubai pretended not to know, but he didn't let him open his eyes, so he had to wait for him to open his mouth and ask for it. Hou Junji is also more energetic, and he doesn't want to look at it, what kind of shabby play, and he hides it!

However, the more he boiled and competed like this, and saw Hou Junji, who was mighty with the red-clothed cannon, the more curious he became. Only he can understand the taste. Qin Mubai and Xue Wanjun just laughed secretly, and they didn't break it.

When I returned to Lanzhou City, I happened to meet Wu Meiniang and Xiao Liang, who were carrying grain together. The situation is not too bad, more than 500,000 stone grain and grass at the time of departure, and nearly 300,000 stone at this time. Due to the war in the spring, Lanzhou's local agriculture was greatly damaged, and it was no longer able to supply the huge military expenditure. These 300,000 stones of grain and grass are like charcoal in the snow, and the soldiers and people of Lanzhou rejoice.

When he saw Wu Meiniang again, Qin Mubai felt distressed for a while. A beautiful woman who was born beautiful, she may have not taken a bath for many days, and the road is long and difficult, she has lost a lot of weight, and her body is even more dirty, and her past brilliance has dimmed a lot. If it weren't for the amazing and heartwarming look in her eyes, Qin Mubai would have suspected that she was seriously ill.

At this time, Su Dingfang's fast horse envoy came again to deliver a letter, saying that the father and daughter of the king of Jiangxia could arrive in Lanzhou tomorrow, and asked the governor of the capital to come out to greet Guo Xiang. Qin Mubai instructed his subordinates and others to arrange these cumbersome matters, and set up a banquet in the Dadu Governor's Mansion to entertain Hou Junji and Xiao Liang and other officials and generals who had returned from errands. Drinking wine and eating meat, he was even more anxious to accompany Wu Meiniang.

The grain and grass had been delivered to the military and put it into storage, and Wu Meiniang felt light, and suddenly felt boundless sleepiness. Originally, she quietly lived in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, waiting for Qin Mubai, who was out to socialize, to come back for dinner and enjoy a sweet time for the two. But he couldn't stand it anymore, so he fell asleep in the bath, and was carried into the room by his own maidservant, and slept in the dark without eating.

When Qin Mubai came back, it was already a breeze passing through the willow moon and the stars were sparse, and there was silence in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.

There were still three or five officials, following Qin Mubai all the way, discussing in a low voice.

"Young marshal, that Hou Junji...... How exactly is it arranged? ”

Qin Mubai thought for a while and said, "Neither his own person nor a guest, just arrange it like this." ”

The subordinate was a little confused and asked: "The subordinate is ignorant, please make it clear to the young marshal......"

Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Good wine, good meat, good house, give settlement; The beautiful woman, the neat sergeant, picked ten of each kind and sent it to him for use. He gives him whatever he wants, lets him do whatever he wants, lets him go wherever he wants, and doesn't have to use the rules of the Governor's Mansion to restrain him, as long as he doesn't kill people and set fires to commit adultery. However, none of you are allowed to get close to him, nor are you allowed to divulge any military and political secrets with him. Got it? ”

"The subordinates understand...... It's like, very polite, but not close, right? ”

"Yes." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "He has a withdrawn personality, so I'll let him be withdrawn." When he can't hold it anymore, he will naturally take the initiative to get close to us. Let's do it! ”

"Yes."

"In addition, there is also the Shanzhou Thorn Shi to urge the grain of the excerpt and other young marshal's approval, Liangzhou to Lanzhou line of military posts and merchant posts more than half of the destruction of the military disaster, if the repair will need to allocate manpower and food......"

In the courtyard of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, Qin Mubai was busy for nearly an hour, and finally handled the important government affairs that had accumulated in recent days clearly, and took a long breath.

At this time, it is already the middle of the moon.

Thinking that Wu Meiniang was sleeping in her room at the moment, Qin Mubai's heart was like a deer, to be precise, there was a little beast blood boiling.

When I came to the bedroom, I saw Wu Meiniang's two personal maids, lying on the chair in front of the room and falling asleep. Looking at the sleeping position is very indecent, it is obvious that I am tired.

Qin Mubai went over to wake up the two of them and asked, "Have you ever slept in the host?" ”

"Ah...... Uncle General is back? The proprietor waited for you to eat for a long time, and he couldn't stay up and went to sleep first. The proprietor told her that when you returned, he would wake her up, and that she would eat together and go to sleep. ”

"No need." Qin Mubai said, "She must be tired, let her sleep!" Go back and rest y'all y'other, and you don't have to stay here. ”

"Yes......" The two little girls looked at each other and smiled strangely, and walked away with a grin.

Touching the door handle, Qin Mubai's heart was pounding without a breath.

"Haven't you ever seen a woman's virgin?" He couldn't help but laugh self-deprecatingly, and licked his lips evilly, "Yes, I'm still a virgin today." ”

Carefully pushing the door in, the room was pitch black. His room was familiar, and he walked in lightly and lit the oil lamp, and heard the sound of slightly heavy breathing coming from the bed. As soon as you hear the voice, you know that the sleeping man must be very tired.

The orange oil lamp light reflected on Wu Meiniang's stunning face, a trace of temptation, a little warmth.

Wu Meiniang slept on her side facing the door, half of her arm was stretched out of the quilt, her other hand was caressing her cheeks, her eyebrows were lightly locked, and she was obviously sleeping very deeply.

Qin Mubai walked to the side of the bed and vaguely smelled the faint body fragrance unique to her. The soft and smooth silk satin thin quilt covers Wu Meiniang's body, and the body is curvaceous, coated with a layer of oil lamp halo, which is as dazzling as a work of art.

Sleeping beauty, such as a fake package.

At this moment, to say that Qin Mubai didn't want to strip off his clothes and rush to bed, it was definitely a lie.

Since leaving Chang'an, he has not been close to women for more than a month.

But at this moment, seeing Wu Meiniang sleeping so deeply, she seemed to be extremely tired. If you climb into bed and toss her again, wouldn't it be better than a beast?

On the first night of the cave room, it is not allowed to be so hasty.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Qin Mubai stared at Wu Meiniang's alluring face, smiled slightly, reached out and stroked a few locks of hair on her forehead, gently smoothed her slightly locked eyebrows, and then kissed her lightly on the forehead.

"Good night, Mei Niang."

With a lamp, a cup of tea, and a book of soldiers, Qin Mubai sat at the table in front of the bed and stayed up all night.

During this period, she tucked the quilt six times for Wu Meiniang and kissed her forehead six times.

When the first bright sunlight was cast into the window, Wu Meiniang slowly opened her eyes and looked at the man sitting at the table reading with her waist straight, and smiled.

"Are you awake?" Qin Mubai put down the book, turned sideways and smiled slightly, "Are you sleeping well?" ”

"Aren't you sleepy?" Wu Meiniang smiled coquettishly, wrapped the quilt tightly, and only showed her head outside, and said.

"It's fine." Qin Mubai stepped forward with a smile, sat down on the edge of her bed, and said, "Thousands of miles away, but there is no adaptation to the water and soil?" I'll call a healer to come and make you a medicine. After a long journey, you will need to rest for a few days to recover. ”

"Well, listen to your ......" Wu Meiniang pursed her lips and smiled, staring at Qin Mubai, her eyes full of warmth and satisfaction.

"When did you become so well-behaved, unlike you." Qin Mubai smiled, "How is it, my bed, it's still comfortable, right?" ”

"Averagely, a little too hard." Wu Meiniang giggled and said, "Today I went to the market and changed this military bed first." It's hard tied up, and it's not comfortable at all. ”

Qin Mubai suddenly smiled, smiling extremely warmly and a little smug and evil, and said, "Oh, are you finally ready to have a room with me?" ”

"Nonsense!" Wu Meiniang's cheeks suddenly flew full.

"Then why are you changing my bed?"

"......" Wu Meiniang suddenly ran and pulled the quilt to cover her head and face, "You go out, I'm going to get up and change clothes!" ”

"Haha, okay, you must be hungry, I'll go and ask someone to prepare breakfast to enjoy with you, and then go out to greet King Jiangxia together!"

After that, Qin Mubai pushed the door out and called Wu Meiniang's maid to serve her to wash.

Wu Meiniang showed her face from the quilt and breathed a sigh of relief, her face burning like fire.

"Big fool...... Folded the quilt for me all night and kissed me secretly...... I like it, though! This is the man I want! ”

After a short time, the two little maids ran in with a smile, each looking at Wu Meiniang's delicate grin with an ambiguous expression.

"Laughing at what?" Wu Meiniang used anger to hide her embarrassment, and said sharply, "The general's aunt reads all night with candles!" ”

"Hee-hee, the owner doesn't recruit himself!"

"How is this possible, hee-hee! He's a big man with strong blood! ”

Wu Meiniang shook her head and smiled, a look of pride unconsciously appeared on her face, and she said leisurely: "Last night, if he really climbed into this bed, he would not be the man that my Wu Meiniang loved with all her heart." You guys, you won't understand. ”

The two little girls were dazed for a while, and muttered: "Does the owner want to say that the general's aunt is a true gentleman and a great husband who is not in chaos?" ”

"On the contrary, not only is he not as great as you say, but he is completely bad." Wu Meiniang smiled faintly, pursed her lips and smiled playfully, her eyes looked longing and said softly, "He just hurts a little bit and understands a little respect and pity." Even if his mind that doesn't think about good things is already full of desires, he never forgets them. ”

After a pause, Wu Meiniang chuckled and said, "Such a man is worthy of deep love, and it is a lifetime." ”

It was close to noon, thirty miles outside the city of Lanzhou.

Three thousand iron armor lined up in a military formation, with flags and gongs and drums, and the formation was extraordinary.

Qin Mubai's white uniform was draped in his battle robe and flying, he looked forward with his hand, and the corners of his mouth rose and smiled lightly: "It's here." ”

Ahead, smoke and dust billowed and a large group of men and horses appeared.

A horseman rushed over, "Report to the young marshal, the king of Jiangxia and Princess Wencheng's car has arrived!" ”

"Come up and greet you."

Qin Mubai waved his hand and led his subordinate officials to step forward.

The military music Qin raised the colorful flags and flew the ceremony, and the scale of the welcoming ceremony was not small. Li Daozong rode a horse, Li Xueyan rode a chariot, Su Dingfang was escorted by iron armor, and the group came slowly.

Lanzhou Military Town rarely puts on such a pomp to greet anyone. This time, it was mainly because the king of Jiangxia was ordered to come to discuss and give marriage to Tubo, which was related to the social system and military affairs, and could not be slackened. Putting on such a posture is actually mainly for the people and people in Fanbang to see, to show that Datang attaches great importance to this matter.

On the contrary, the authorities do not attach so much importance to these red tapes, and everyone just acts together.

"Qin Mubai, the lowly governor of Lanzhou, led the officials and generals of the Governor's Mansion to welcome Her Royal Highness Princess Wencheng and Her Royal Highness the King of Jiangxia!" Qin Mubai stood on his horse and hugged his fists on the side and saluted, and said, "Please forgive the princess and the prince for their humble armor, and they can't pay a full salute." ”

The ironclad army array shouted slogans such as greeting the princess and princess, and the momentum was impressive.

Li Daozong rode on a horse in a costumed court uniform, glanced at Qin Mubai up and down, and then looked at the sergeants, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few days, you have become a second-grade official of the frontier, amazing, Mu Bai!" ”

Qin Mubai laughed: "The prince made fun of it!" ”

Li Daozong stepped forward and said in a low voice: "It is estimated that the eldest grandson Wuji is going to blow up his lungs, right?" Ha ha! Not only did he not purge you, but he also made you ascend to heaven! ”

"Not necessarily!" Qin Mubai smiled playfully and said in a low voice, "This Lanzhou Metropolitan Governor, but the eldest grandson Wuji personally gave it to me. ”

"Oh, and that matter?" Li Daozong's face suddenly showed a suspicious look, "How is it possible?" ”

"This matter will be discussed later." Qin Mubai smiled slightly, and arched his hand, "The prince and the princess have come from afar to work hard, please go to the city to stay in Xingyuan, and everything has been arranged properly." ”

"That's fine." Li Daozong nodded and said, "You come along." It just so happens that I have a lot to say to you. ”

"Do your bidding."

Received the father and daughter of the king of Jiangxia, the team of people and horses went to Lanzhou, Princess Wencheng Li Xueyan naturally sat in the chariot without showing her head, Qin Mubai and Li Daozong, Su Dingfang and others chatted along the way, and after a short time into Lanzhou, after the soldiers and horses were stationed to arrange the trip, everyone dispersed to allow the father and daughter of the king of Jiangxia to rest for half a day, and then set up a banquet in the governor's mansion in the evening.

Qin Mubai and Wu Meiniang were invited by the king of Jiangxia to go to the princess together.

Seeing the two of them enter hand in hand, Li Daozong smiled and said, "It seems that you are waiting for this pair of jade people who are perfectly matched, and you are not afraid of envying others. ”

Li Xueyan took off her grand princess outfit and sat aside, and at this time, her eyes also showed a stunning look, and she secretly wondered: Is this the long-famous Wu Meiniang? Sure enough, it is charming and unparalleled, and the country and the city are captivated!

"The prince will make fun of Qin." Qin Mubai replied with a smile, and after seeing Wu Meiniang separately, he sat down informally.

Li Daozong ordered people to treat each other with tea, saying that the arrangement was very proper and satisfactory.

After chatting a few words, Li Daozong said: "This time, my father and daughter are here. But what happened to this marriage has to be carefully considered. Your father has just won the battle at Puchanghai and pacified Gaochang, which is a different situation than when the decision to marry was made in the first place. It's only because the major affairs of the imperial court cannot be changed overnight, so we are here to show our sincerity. The key is to see whether the Tibetan people have the sincerity to make peace. Otherwise, even if my Li Daozong's daughter is worthless, she can't be sent to the plateau for nothing! ”

Li Xueyan's face turned red and white, and she opened her mouth to say something, but she held back.

Qin Mubai secretly admired that her cultivation was indeed beyond the reach of ordinary women.

"The first thing the prince said when he arrived in Lanzhou was this matter, and Qin understood it in his heart." Qin Mubai nodded solemnly and said, "Talking about peace and marriage is not only a major matter of the country, but also a private matter of the prince. In public and private, Qin will deal with it carefully and carefully. Please rest assured, if the Tubo people are sincere in making peace, it will be a hundred years of happiness for the two countries, and someone Qin will make the decision to let Her Royal Highness the princess marry Tubo in a beautiful and beautiful manner, without the slightest grievance. On the contrary, if he is not sincere, he will call him a Tibetan barbarian, and taste the power of my Qin someone and the 100,000 heroes of Lanzhou! ”

Li Daozong's eyes narrowed, his eyes were extremely sharp, "How is a powerful method?" ”

Qin Mubai smiled slightly, put down the teacup and hugged Li Daozong and Li Xueyan with a fist, and wrote lightly: "Qin Mou stepped on the plateau, captured the Tubo Zanpu abandoned the sect and Zansheng, and asked in front of Her Royal Highness the princess - if there is a woman like this, what more can the husband ask for?" Do you abandon the sect and praise your heart and eyes, so that you don't marry a pretty princess and would rather be a prisoner? ”

"Good! This king just likes your madness! Li Daozong slapped the table and laughed, "If you don't marry the pretty princess, let him be a prisoner!" - Qin Mubai, this sentence will be remembered by this king for you word for word! ”

Li Xueyan, who was as quiet as a lotus, sat quietly on the side, bit her lip lightly, first glanced at Wu Meiniang, and then fixed her eyes on Qin Mubai's body, with a look in her eyes that no one could read, and said softly: "I remember it too." ”

Wu Meiniang's eyes quickly glanced at Li Xueyan, Sakura smiled slightly and shook her head gently.
