Chapter 504: Alone in the country
As soon as he entered the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, Qin Mubai was surrounded, and he never got out, so he said that he would go to the house to hug his children who had not met since he was born.
The Lanzhou officials headed by Li Daozong and the soldiers of the Guanxi Expeditionary Force almost lifted him up and hugged him into a banquet.
Then there was a feast in full swing, and the people in the city surrounded the governor's mansion inside and outside the three layers of water, and spontaneously cheered and celebrated outside the mansion. At night, it still does not disperse, and thousands of lights and colorful cannons illuminate the entire night sky as if it were day.
Qin Mubai, Li Daozong and others only went to the house to thank the people, and they attracted a burst of cheers like a tsunami, almost shaking the city.
Tonight, Shanzhou will never sleep and be happy until dawn.
After Qin Mubai, he was carried out. Several soldiers sent him to the temporary marshal's mansion arranged by Li Daozong, and waited at home for Princess Gaoyang, who had not closed his eyes for a night, and looked at the man in his heart who was drunk like a dead corpse, and was angry and distressed, so he summoned several of her maids to serve Qin Mubai in a bath suit and sleep peacefully.
It was dawn, and the surroundings were finally at peace. Princess Gaoyang was lying on her side beside Qin Mubai, her jade body was graceful and undulating, and her body was as fragrant as an orchid.
Listening to his heavy snort, Princess Gaoyang's long-hidden thoughts and emotions rippled in her heart. She couldn't help but reach out to wipe the stubble on Qin Mubai's chin, and muttered, "Time flies, in the blink of an eye, we have actually been separated for more than a year." Thief military academy, stinky man, if you don't come back, I'll show you the traitor! β
"You dare!" Suddenly, Qin Mubai reached out and grabbed Princess Gaoyang's wrist, startling her.
"Badass! Pretending to be asleep scares me! Princess Gao Yang exclaimed in surprise, joy and a little annoyance.
"Haha!" Qin Mubai laughed, and with one hand in his hand, he pulled Princess Gao Yang's whole person over and pressed it directly on him.
The two of them were relatively close to each other, and Qin Mubai smelled the unique body fragrance of Princess Gaoyang, but it was slightly different from the past.
It seems to have added a unique smell of the mother.
The chest was pressed soft, Qin Mubai lowered his eyes and looked at Princess Gaoyang's chest, the ravine saw that the deep spring was bright, and a piece of snow stood on his chest, and it was really more plump than before.
"Look at what, great whore!" Princess Gao Yang smiled and lifted the corners of her mouth, revealing two small and delicate dimples, and her face was flushed.
Princess Gaoyang, who is a first-time mother, is obviously a lot more charming and mature than at the beginning. Qin Mubai looks at her now, she is similar to Concubine Yin De, especially the elegant and dignified and alluring appearance that no one can match, but Princess Gaoyang has a unique wild charm, so she combines the nobility and charm of the demonic ye.
Now this wonderful person who is pressed on his body is definitely called a "stunner".
Qin Mubai couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
Princess Gao Yang obviously felt the masculine aura that suddenly emanated from the man's body, her eyelashes couldn't help but tremble, her eyes were like drunkenness, her breathing was a little shorter, and her jade fingers gently flicked his chin and said coquettishly, "What do you want to do?" Thief Military Academy, stinky man! β
"you!"
"Rude, not ashamedβah, you light! β¦β¦β
β¦β¦
Until the sun set in the western mountains, Qin Mubai woke up in a daze. Feeling that his arm was a little numb, he looked sideways, and Princess Gao Yang was still sleeping soundly beside him, burying her head in the crook of his arm as before, and one leg was pressed on him very unladylikely.
The two are like old trees and green vines, and they have been obsessed with each other several times.
"Hey, are you still sleeping? Get up...... I'm in a hurry to pee! β
"No, sleep a little longer!" Princess Gao Yang's eyes hadn't even opened, but she whispered like a dream, but she wrapped Qin Mubai tightly.
"If I don't go to the toilet again, I'm going to be suffocated!"
"Then you go! β¦β¦ By the way, make it easy for me! β
Qin Mubai was suddenly dumbfounded, turned over and got out of bed, put on his clothes, reached in and was slapped twice on Princess Gaoyang's smooth and elastic buttocks, "Get up!" β
"Hey, hey!" Princess Gaoyang smiled, wrapped tightly and showed her head, and said, "I want you to serve me and wash my clothes like before, and you have to do it for me, Thrush!" β
"Yes, Your Highness Princess!" Qin Mubai smiled, "I promised you, I want to paint your thrush for a lifetime." β
"That's it!" Princess Gaoyang smiled, smiling so intoxicated and proud, "I don't care if you are a small role, a small person, or a generalissimo and a hero, you are my man when you return home." You have to do everything you promised me before! β
Qin Mubai smiled slightly, bent down and kissed Princess Gaoyang lightly on the forehead.
Princess Gao Yang closed her eyes, her expression intoxicated and warm.
"Wowhaha, got it!" Princess Gaoyang suddenly stretched out her arms and grabbed Qin Mubai's neck, her legs also stretched out from the quilt to clamp his waist, and laughed completely regardless of her image, "Hold me up, hold me up!" β
"It's another one, like a tree leper! - Look at you, a princess, or a mother. Qin Mubai patted her light and smiled, "You care about a little honorable image!" β
"Hmph, in front of you, what image do I have to care?" Princess Gao Yang pursed her face and said, "In the future, even if I am sixty or seventy years old, I will still be like this in front of you!" ββγ,I can't hold it back! β
"I can't stand it! - I'm going to call the butterflies and them to come in and serve you! β
Chen Yan still hasn't come back after a hurried meeting yesterday, probably to accompany Blood Lotus. Those officials and generals also did not come to disturb Qin Mubai with great interest, so that he could have a real day of leisure and enjoy the family pleasure of family affection.
When the lights were on, Qin Mubai and Princess Gaoyang finally sat together and had an authentic family banquet, and also saw Qin Ying, the son born to him by Wu Meiniang, and the baby daughter that Princess Gaoyang had just born, Qin Di.
Qin Qiong, the old lady, seemed to have the ability to predict the future, and she had already named the pair of precious grandchildren. Now, the elder Qin Ying, who is just less than a year old, has thick bones and a strong body, which is obviously better than that of a baby of the same age, anyone who sees him will think that he is already two or three years old, and his appearance is also directly inherited from Qin Mubai's face inherited from Qin Qiong, starry eyes, sword eyebrows, high nose and thin lips, as if it was cast with Qin Mubai's membrane. Qin Di, who is a few months old, now looks like Princess Gaoyang, with pink and tender meat, and only knows how to eat, sleep and cry. Xiao'er, who is more than three years old, is very sensible, and accompanies her nurse to take care of her younger siblings every day, and also teases them to make them laugh decently.
Qin Mubai's heart was full of joy, uncontrollable excitement and joy. Having a child brings with it the continuation of life, which makes him feel proud and satisfied. Princess Gaoyang, a little devil who is not afraid of heaven and earth, always exudes natural gentleness and motherhood when taking care of her children, which makes her extremely charming.
Qin Mubai enjoys the current family happiness very much, the fly in the ointment is that his mother and brothers and sisters have not yet reunited, and Wu Meiniang also inexplicably took the caravan to the Western Regions.
Regarding Wu Meiniang's affairs, Princess Gao Yang doesn't seem to know too clearly. When she left, Princess Gaoyang was sitting in the moon, and she only knew that she followed Su Dingfang to the Western Regions after sending troops, and when she left, she almost took away the wealth of the Wu family's business, and it seemed that she wanted to make a big move.
Qin Mubai secretly pondered, with Wu Meiniang's sex, in this special period, even the newborn son was left behind, and suddenly went to the Western Regions to do business, the purpose should be more than just to make money. In fact, as early as two years ago, Qin Mubai used the "power" in his hands to give Wu Meiniang unparalleled business convenience in the Helong area, and only she could operate all official materials. In just two years, the Wu family, which is directly linked to the Lanzhou Metropolitan Governor's Office, has become a big Han merchant on Helong and the Silk Road, and even the Zheng family, the richest businessman in the Tang Dynasty, is not as influential as her in Helong. Now after the war, the imperial court wants to absorb the Tubo resettlement population and redraw the prefecture and county, it can be said that there are unlimited business opportunities to be revived, Wu Meiniang actually left Helong, all the amazing business opportunities and profits, and took the risk to go to the war-torn Western Regions, what do you want?
This time, even Qin Mubai couldn't figure it out. I asked a few people in the firm, but they didn't know much. I only know that many people were frightened when the Wu Dong family made this decision at that time, but she was quite decisive.
"Mu Bai, you should go and ask Sister Yan, she may know." Princess Gao Yang seemed to think of something, and said to Qin Mubai, "After you left, Sister Yan has been taking care of us, we all listen to her at home, and we will discuss everything with her." Mei Niang has always respected Sister Yan, I don't know about business, Mei Niang hasn't told me, but I will definitely tell Sister Yan. β
Qin Mubai was a little happy when he heard Princess Gaoyang's words, looking at this situation, Chen Yan, the wife who was not married to the media, is still the "uncrowned queen" of the Qin family. Even the two women who are difficult to reconcile in the world, Wu Meiniang and Princess Gaoyang are willing to listen to her.
This was nothing more than Qin Mubai's expectations. Chen Yan is a little older, calm and sophisticated, the important thing is that she is open-minded, wise, rational and can always convince people with reason, even Qin Mubai respects her for three points, and she is commensurate with her sister, so she will judge others.
Two days later, Chen Yan finally returned, but she did not bring back the blood lotus. Seeing Qin Mubai, she only said, "Don't worry, let her be alone." β
Qin Mubai knew that her handling was reassuring, so she didn't ask more about the blood lotus, so she asked her what Mei Niang wanted to do when she went to the Western Regions at this time.
"Of course, it's for the future of the Qin family." Chen Yan took a sip of tea and replied briefly.
"How?" Qin Mubai asked puzzled.
Chen Yan was silent for a moment as if thinking, and then said, "Actually, Mei Niang should be born as a boy." If she enters the career, she will definitely be better than you. β
"That's it." Qin Mubai said with a smile, "Mei Niang is extremely smart and has a unique vision, I used to have many problems that I couldn't solve, and I was looking for her for advice." She is like my female Zhuge who strategizes and wins thousands of miles, no problem! β
"Mei Niang has discussed with me more than once about the future of the Qin family." Chen Yan said, "Although I don't know much about officialdom, I also know that what she said makes sense." β
"What did she say?"
"To put it simply, the pole of things must reverse the prosperity and decline of the pole." Chen Yan said, "Now you are sitting in Helong and holding great power, and in one fell swoop, no one can match the Tubo Gao. It is estimated that it will not be long before the imperial court will reward you greatly, and you will reach your peak before you are thirty years old. What do you plan to do in the coming decades? β
Qin Mubai couldn't help laughing, "I haven't considered these things myself for the time being, Mei Niang will think about it for me first?" β
"Of course." Chen Yan said, "Although Mei Niang is not in the officialdom, she can be a bystander, and she may be more sober and rational than yourself." Tubo is calm, and Mu Bai's career has reached its peak. In the future, if you make another honor, you will surely exalt the Lord; If you sit back and enjoy the success, you will inevitably decline. Either way, it's not a good thing. Especially...... King Wu is back, and he is standing with you again. As soon as Mei Niang saw him, she seemed to feel a great crisis. β
"What crisis?" Qin Mubai asked.
"The two of you pacified Tubo together and set up a great honor, although King Wu didn't do anything, but this labor will definitely be distributed to him. In this way, he is bound to be re-involved in the turmoil of the struggle for the heir. Speaking of this, Chen Yan's eyebrows sank slightly, and she said worriedly, "And everyone in the world knows that Wu Wangda's reliance is you." If someone in the court wants to cut off King Wu's thoughts, you will be the first to deal with it. So...... Now, although you are beautiful, you have actually entered a dangerous situation. β
"I know that." Qin Mubai smiled, "It should be said that I have never come out of danger. Previously, there were Hu Lu who were involved in the Central Plains and did not die, and there were political enemies who were desperate to destroy me. Now that I have defeated the outer enemy, it will soon be the turn of the internal enemy. β
"Are you saying that you want to support King Wu to ascend to the top?" Chen Yan asked.
Qin Mubai was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Yan, it's just you who ask me like this, I won't feel abrupt." β
"Is this question sensitive and acute?" Chen Yan smiled, "In the eyes of an outsider, it is an obvious fact. I'm afraid that only King Wu and you won't admit it personally. Others. Know it all! β
"That's also ......" Qin Mubai smiled bitterly and said, "The current situation is like this, I don't seem to have any choice." Thousands of troops and horses are no match for human sophistication. Except for King Wu ascending to the throne, any other emperor seems to be not good for me. If King Wu is defeated, it will not be a few years before King Wu and I will be purged by the future king as political enemies or potential political enemies. No matter how much hard work I have made with King Wu today, no matter how many soldiers and horses I have in my hands now, it is useless. β
"Just as Mei Niang expected." Chen Yan said, "And Mei Niang also said, even if you become a supporter of King Wu to ascend to the top, what can you do?" - Then you will have made a greater contribution than the pacification of Tibet, and there will be no more ministers in the world who can keep up with you! At that time, you can't do it if you want to tilt the power of the government and the opposition. Now King Wu needs you very much, but when the day comes when he ascends to the throne, he will find you very much an eyesore. For no king will tolerate a more dazzling courtier than himself, standing before him and enjoying the support and worship of all the peoples. It has nothing to do with whether King Wu is magnanimous or has deep feelings for you, this is human nature. It's like, Mu Bai, you will never allow another man in this family to please us more than you, will you? Whether he's your trusted butler or your close friend. β
This latter sentence made Qin Mubai feel very unhappy. He grinned bitterly and said, "This analogy is a bit shabby, but the truth is indeed like this-then again, what did Mei Niang want to do when she went to the Western Regions?" β
"She wants to lay down a unique country in the Western Regions with her bare hands - for you, for the Qin family!"
