Chapter 168: The Painting of Color

Qing Muming knew that he was joking, but the relationship between them these days, he cared about it, and he couldn't help but tremble, grabbed his arm, and hurried: "Prince, don't, don't make such jokes, I ......"

Mu Qi was happy and very moved, slapped himself with his left hand, and sighed: "I have such a flower-like county lord, how can I give up my family to be a monk." ”

When Qing Mu heard his words, his face turned red again, and he was coquettish: "Mu Qi, if you talk nonsense, I will throw you down the mountain......"

When Mu Qi heard this, he muttered: "Oops! Qing Mu is going to murder her husband......"

Qing Mu was very happy in his heart, and he was unforgiving on his face, so he picked up his little pink fist and greeted him, and said angrily: "Hmph! I'm going down the mountain, you're talking nonsense here! ”

"Don't, don't! I don't dare anymore! Muzi whispered.

The two of them played the whole Lishan Mountain, and when the sun set in the West Mountain, they went down the mountain together and rushed back to the city.

Liangcheng

In the military camp in Liangcheng, the banquet was in full swing, and the generals of each battalion were happy to drink for this victory, and the Qing father and son were very happy.

This great victory finally got rid of the big trouble that has plagued Bo Lianguo for decades; Second, Qing Zhen is proud and happy to have children like Qinglun and Qingmu; The third is to successfully avoid King Yun's questioning and shelter King Yuan's family.

Yun Wang Mu Yuan started the banquet for a while, and it was only late, seeing that the generals were happy and happy, thinking that his trip to Liangcheng had no gains, he couldn't help but feel a little gloomy.

Mu Yuan stepped forward, picked up a bowl of wine, and walked to Qing Zhen's side: "King Qingyi, this palace respects you, this time you can win a big victory and defeat the Xirong people, this palace congratulates you!" ”

Qing Zhen smiled slightly: "Congratulations, congratulations!" Cloud King please! With that, he drank all the wine in his bowl.

"King Qingyi: Massive! There is something in this palace to ask for, I wonder if King Qingyi can tell me? Mu Yuan asked tentatively.

Qing Zhen replied: "King Yun has something to order, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" The old decay must know everything, and the words are endless! ”

Mu Yuan pondered for a moment: "According to the report of the subordinates of the palace, King Yuan and the county lord Qing Mu came to Liangcheng recently, I don't know if King Qing Yi has seen it?" ”

Qing Zhen was puzzled: "Qing Mu? Qingmu, where is it? The old man misses her, King Yun has seen it, let her come to see her father! ”

Qinglun walked over and helped his father: "Daddy, you're drunk, I'll help you in to rest!" After speaking, he immediately helped Qing Zhen to walk towards the inn.

Wang Lin looked at the Qing family and his son, and whispered: "Prince, are you credible when you say that King Qingyi's words?" ”

"I'm not sure! However, there are all kinds of indications that King Yuan and Qing Mu must have come to Liangcheng, and whether they have seen Qing Zhen or not, Qing Lun does not know. ”

"These generals are all fought with King Qingyi, I'm afraid that even if they know the situation, they won't tell us!" Mu Yuan guessed that these people were all Qing Zhen's henchmen, how could they betray Qing Mu?

Wang Lin: "Then what should we do?" If you can't go back empty-handed, how can you reply to the emperor? ”

Mu Yuan shook his head and smiled: "Forget it, it's not a big deal, now that King Qingyi is safe and sound, at least the nominal holy will has been completed." As for the secret purpose...... Enough to have that letter! ”

"As for what the emperor wants to investigate, we have no way of knowing! Tomorrow, we will leave for Beijing! There's no point in staying here any longer! ”

"Well, it seems that it can only be like this, it is a miscalculation not to catch King Yuan this time!" Wang Lin was gloomy.

A hint of coldness flashed in Mu Yuan's eyes, "There will always be a chance in the future, this is just the beginning between me and him, who will kill the deer...... Hardly! ”

After Mu Yuan said goodbye to Qinglun, he returned to the Bishui Villa where he stayed.

The generals in the inn were still unsatisfied, and everyone drank the celebration wine to their heart's content, and later Qinglun also joined in, and everyone gradually dispersed until very late.

The next morning, Yun Wang Mu Yuan officially said goodbye to the Qing father and son, and immediately announced that Qin had returned to Beijing to resume his life.

Qing Zhen walked over and said politely: "King Yun, the border Liangcheng is already bitter, the prince is thousands of miles away, and it is the glory of us as soldiers to visit the soldiers on the front line, thank you to the prince for showing compassion to his subordinates for many days, and wish King Yun a smooth journey!" ”

Mu Yuan smiled slightly: "King Qingyi, for the country and the people, it's hard work!" The palace looks forward to the return of the army to Beijing as soon as possible, so that the father and the emperor can treat all the soldiers well! ”

"I wish King Yun a smooth journey!" All the soldiers bowed down together.

Mu Yuan: "All the soldiers don't have to be polite, everyone please get up quickly!" ”

Everyone got up one after another and watched the Cloud King move forward.

"King Qingyi will be sent here, this palace is waiting for your return in Beijing!" Mu Yuan said, turning around and ordering the Qincha Guards to set off immediately.

After bidding farewell to Queen Yun, Qing Zhen and Qing Lun returned to the inn where they stayed.

Qing Zhen pondered for a while: "Lun'er, prepare everything as soon as possible, and in three days, the army will return to the dynasty!" The army is divided into three routes, the left army is commanded by you, the right army is commanded by Tong An, the middle army is in charge, and Zheng Huaran stays in Liangcheng. ”

"The last general commands!" Qing Lun replied.

Qing Lun returned to the army and immediately ordered his subordinates to raise food and drinking water for the army, and prepare horses, medicines and other supplies. The armies and battalions moved quickly.

Three days later, the sun was shining, the sky of Liangcheng was rare like a mirror, cloudless, the wind and sand on weekdays seemed to disappear suddenly at this moment, and even Tiangong seemed to bid farewell to this victorious army and heroic division.

When everything was ready, the army officially began. The left, middle and right armies, led by different commanders, were separated by several kilometers before and after, and marched towards the capital of Bolian State.

Passing through many towns along the way, you will often see a large number of ordinary people, sending condolences to the army, Qing Zhen Qingyi Wang insisted on not taking a stitch from the masses, even if the people pleaded repeatedly, all the soldiers always insisted on the same.

King Qing Zhen often taught his subordinates that as a soldier is to protect the family and defend the country, to ensure that the people live and work in peace and contentment, not to bully the people, not to disturb the people, and not to ask for remuneration from the people!

After Mu Qi and Qing Mu stayed in Chang'an City for two days, they rushed to the capital non-stop, Qing Mu knew in his heart that Mu Yuan must not be allowed to return to the capital first, otherwise he and Mu Qi would not be in the capital, but I was afraid that they would be truthful.

Under the influence of this layer of powerful relationship, the two did not dare to continue to stay.

After another seven days, Qing Mu and Mu Qi finally rushed back to the capital, and officially divided the Wangjiang Tower in the western suburbs, Qing Mu thought about Qiao'er and Hongluo, and now I don't know what happened, Qing Han didn't know if he went to the Blue House to make trouble.

She had mixed thoughts in her heart, and inadvertently accelerated the pace of returning home.

Mu Qi looked at the back of Qing Mu who was far away, and he didn't feel very good in his heart.

Now there are more and more things to hide from her, but I am afraid that one day I will not be able to bear to tell her, after all, it is not a long-term solution to keep secret.

And Mu Yuan is eyeing the surroundings again, this person is a treacherous villain, often unscrupulous means to achieve his goals, this time he returned to the capital, I don't know what kind of storm he will set off, it is better to be more careful in the future.

He thought for a long time, shook his head, turned around and rode his horse towards the mansion.

Yun Wang Mu Yuan's side, it was a leisurely and slow walk, he just ordered Wang Lin to hurry back to the capital, monitor the every move of King Yuan and Qing Mu, and at the same time contact Qing Han to find out Qing Mu's recent whereabouts.

In the palace, it has been calm recently, one of the most influential Yun Wang, King Yuan is not in the capital, and the other is that the emperor has been ill recently, and there are a lot less in the early dynasty, and generally things are handled by King Youyi.

On that day, when the emperor received the report from General Qingzhen, he was really happy, and the palace held a banquet to celebrate the rescue of King Qingyi, and the emperor was very happy during the banquet.

And now I have to know that the army will return to Beijing in a few days, as if suddenly my sick body will immediately improve, and I will personally go to the palaces to inform me of the good news, which is quite a child's habit.

Yi Wang's Mansion

After Qing Mu returned to King Yi's mansion, she wanted to go back to the room to find Hongluo, but after turning around a few times, she never saw it, her head was dazed for a while, and a trace of bad feeling sprouted in her heart.

Hurriedly ran to Luo Xiulan's room, just walked to the door, and at a glance, Luo Xiulan was leisurely knocking melon seeds.

Qing Mu stepped forward and said politely: "Second aunt, I don't know where my maid Hongluo went?" ”

"Red Luo? Who is Red Luo? Is there such a person? Luo Xiulan knew why she asked, and asked three questions in a row.

Qing Mu was about to get angry, and then thought that it was not appropriate to tear her face too early, and suppressed the anger in her heart: "It's my personal maid, Hong Luo!" Second aunt, let me ask you, what did you do to her? ”

Luo Xiulan smiled faintly and dragged a long voice: "Oh, the girl you are talking about!" I kicked her out of the house, her hands and feet are not clean, and she often steals things in the house! ”

Qing Mu was especially angry: "You, if Hongluo has three longs and two shorts, I won't let you go!" ”

"Oops! The tiger is not powerful, you treat me as a sick cat, right, you don't see clearly, who is in charge of this family, dare to yell at me! Luo Xiulan was indignant.

Qing Mu sneered, turned around and left, not bothering to pay attention to her. Qing Mu walked out of King Yi's Mansion, heart, if Hong Luo was kicked out of King Yi's Mansion, where should he be? Well, it should be at Qiao'er's place. Thinking of this, she immediately walked in the direction of the Blue House.

Blue House

Suddenly, a man came in front of him, and Qing Mu raised his eyes to see that it was Qing Han.

"Oops! When did our lord come back, I don't know where he has been lately? Qing Han deliberately teased.

Qing Mu was already angry in his heart, and shouted loudly: "Go away, I want you to take care of it!" As he spoke, he walked forward quickly, ignoring Qing Han again.

Half an hour later, Qing Mu arrived at the Blue House, and when he walked in, he saw Qiao'er and Hongluo joking, talking and laughing.

"Red Luo!" Qing Mu shouted.

"County Lord! Princess! You're back, Red Roco wants to kill you! Hong Luo rushed over, hugged Qing Mu, and the two hugged each other tightly.

After a while, the two separated, and Qiao'er smiled hippiely: "Sister, you are so eccentric, you only love your family Hongluo, and you don't care about Qiao'er!" ”

Qing Mu giggled: "Okay, good! Sister Qiao'er, how are you doing? Is it good to eat? Did you sleep well? ”

Qiao'er was amused by Qing Muyi's question, and also painted a scoop according to the gourd, smiling: "Okay, good!" Sister Qingmu, Qiao'er has been doing well lately! Good food! Sleep well! Good fun! ”

The three girls laughed heartily, saying goodbye to each other, Qiao'er and Hongluo were good at talking, and they depicted the recent events in the capital, and the time flew by, and before I knew it, it was sunset.

Qing Mu looked at Hong Luo, pondered for a while, and asked: "Hong Luo, you tell me the truth, why did the second aunt drive you out of King Yi's mansion, she dares to be my people!" ”

Hong Luo shook his head: "It's nothing, she lost a few pieces of jewelry later, and deliberately kicked me out under the pretext of finding fault, but that's okay, the county lord is not in the mansion, and Hong Luo himself is often bullied in the mansion." ”

"Now here with Sister Qiao'er, it's really good to eat, sleep well, and play well!"

Qing Mu nodded: "Forget it, it's okay, when my brother and father come back, I will definitely make the second aunt look good!" The person who dared to bully me, she really didn't want to mess around in King Yi's mansion! ”

Hong Luo nodded, thought for a moment, and asked, "Will the old man and the eldest young master come back soon?" ”

Qing Mu said lightly: "Hmm! It should be soon, now. A big victory, just wait to go back to Beijing to celebrate! ”

Hong Luo smiled happily: "Then congratulations to the master, congratulations to the eldest young master!" ”

Qing Mu smiled: "Hmph! You're so sweet and hungry, aren't you? Let's go home for dinner! ”

"Oops! Sister, don't go, I'm all done here! Qiao'er smiled and walked out of the house.

Qing Mu smiled: "Hongluo, then let's try the skills of Qiao'er's cook, it seems to be good!" ”

"Hahaha, it's the county master's test, and Red Luo Ke is tired of eating!" Red Luo giggled.

Qing Mu: "Okay, then the county lord will try it." ”

The three of them ate with laughter, and after dinner, Qing Mu returned to King Yi's mansion with Hongluo.

Luo Xiulan saw that Hong Luo was brought back, and it was not good to be angry directly at Qing Mu's face, after all, Qing Mu and Qing Lun were children.

If you do it directly, I'm afraid that I won't be able to take advantage of it, but my son is not angry and has a bad record, and I am afraid that the heirs of King Yi's Mansion will have nothing to do.

The army of the west, along the road to return to the capital, the emperor is excited, has been looking forward to many days, every day asks, day by day, this day finally the long-awaited army, sent a fast horse to report, the army is only dozens of miles away from the capital.

Qing Zhen instructed all the troops to choose a favorable terrain on the spot and temporarily set up camp.

Qing Lun, Tong An, Qing Zhen and other generals led their cronies and guards to return to Beijing first, report to the emperor, and then dispose of the army, requiring all armies to take care of the prisoners and not let go of one.

When the emperor saw the father and son of the Qing family and the generals galloping in the city tower, he was overjoyed, and the salute was fired in unison, which was a peaceful and festive atmosphere.

On this day, Qingmu, Mu Qi and others also had to know that their father and brother were about to enter the city. Yes, he waited at the gate of the city with Hongluo, waiting for the arrival of his father and eldest brother.

The emperor walked down the city tower, and when he saw Qing Mu beside him, he quickly walked over, pulled her to his side, and smiled: "Qing Mu, follow me!" ”

Qing Mu smiled and nodded slowly: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

The emperor came out with all the ministers, and Qing Zhen and all the generals and relatives knelt down one after another: "See the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

The emperor looked up to the sky and laughed: "Good, good! All the soldiers are flat! ”

Qing Zhen and other generals all stood up, he took another step forward and bowed: "Qing Zhen, the general of the expedition to the west, see the emperor, this time our army has destroyed thousands of enemies and captured the enemy army, including more than 30,000 people including the king of the Xirong tribe, Huershu. ”

"The casualties of our army are less than 1,000, and now we have won a complete victory and a triumphant victory, please review it with the emperor!"

"Good, good! Sure enough, I am full of talents in the country, King Qingyi is still better than back then, and the younger generation can already take charge of themselves, which is really my luck and luck! King Qingyi, please get up quickly! ”

"Now that the officers and soldiers of the three armies are triumphant, all battalions, all armies, and all soldiers have been rewarded, and they will be issued in their respective hands when I return to the palace!" The emperor said with great interest.

When all the soldiers heard this, they knelt down again and shouted: "Thank you, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!" ”

Qing Zhen asked forward: "Your Majesty, now the 300,000 army is in the west of the city, temporarily camped on the spot, there are too many people, please show the emperor, how to settle it?" ”

The emperor pondered for a moment: "In this way, it will be assigned to the nearest barracks near the capital, and the specific matters will be issued in the name of the holy decree after they are worked out!" ”

Qing Zhen asked again: "What should the prisoners do?" ”

The emperor pondered for a moment, and then said: "I am very happy today, and I am happy to welcome the return of King Qingyi and all the heroes, it is not easy to see the blood, here, I have decided to give amnesty, ordinary soldiers, if they want to be soldiers, will be scattered into the army." ”

"If you want to go back to your hometown, you will be given a travel fee."

"Record the details of each soldier, compile it into a book, if there is a violation of law and discipline in the future, bullying the people, the punishment will be doubled, and the important generals of each ministry will be temporarily detained, and after the detailed disposal measures are formulated, they will be dealt with!"

Qing Zhen bowed and bowed: "Obey the emperor's holy decree!" ”

The emperor smiled: "Okay! All right! Don't talk about it, go back to the city! Qinglun, come here! ”

Qinglun clenched his fists: "Yes!" Emperor! ”

After speaking, he walked forward quickly, walked to the emperor's side, and in a blink of an eye, Qing Mu was next to him, and smiled: "Qing Mu, you are here too!" ”

"Hmmm! Brother, congratulations! Qing Mu smiled.

"Alright, let's go back to the palace!" As he spoke, the emperor took Qing Mu with his left hand and Qing Lun with his right hand, and strode forward.

Qing Mu met Mu Qi and gave him a smile.

In the blink of an eye, he saw Mu Yuan, his eyes were cold in an instant, and he glared at him viciously.

Luo Xiulan, who was hiding on the side, saw the emperor holding Qing Mu and Qing Lun with his left and right hands, and suddenly became angry in his heart, and the more he saw the emperor pampering them, the more angry he was in his heart.

After they walked over, they turned to look at Qing Zhen and greeted him, and smiled: "Master, you can be regarded as coming back, if you don't come back, I will be driven out of King Yi's Mansion by the big county lord!" ”

Qing Zhen shook his head and was angry: "Nonsense! As he spoke, he turned to Tong An: "General Tong, you return to the army, restrain your subordinates, and wait for the emperor's holy decree to make arrangements!" ”

Tong An replied: "Yes! The last general commands! With that, he turned around and mounted his horse and galloped away.

Qing Zhen: "Let's go, let's go home!" ”

Luo Xiulan helped Qing Zhen and walked on the way home, and said from time to time: "Master, if you really want to take care of the big county lord, you will almost make me angry!" ”

Qing Zhen: "You! Watching the emperor spoil them, they're jealous, right? Just your little bit of fancy intestines, as soon as you roll your eyes, I know what you're going to do! ”

"Qinglun and Qingmu were originally born to the emperor's righteous sister, what is wrong with my uncle loving his nephew and niece! Aren't you angry? It's unbelievable! ”

Luo Xiulan pouted, didn't dare to speak anymore, and quietly accompanied Qing Zhen back to King Yi's mansion.

After Qing Mu and Qing Lun followed the emperor to the palace, the emperor had to leave the two children after lunch. The two had no choice but to comply.

After lunch, Qing Mugang wanted to go back with Qing Lun, but Gonggong De ran out and smiled: "County Lord, this is a gift from the emperor, but the emperor has repeatedly instructed that you are not allowed to open it at this time, and you are only allowed to open it when you go home!" ”

Qing Mu looked at a brocade handkerchief handed over by Father-in-law De and hugged a strict gift, and asked with a smile, "What is it?" It's weird, it's mysterious, and the emperor's uncle is really it, and it's not allowed to open it now! ”

Gonggong De shook his head and smiled: "Hurry home and you will know, it must be a surprise, congratulations to the county lord!" ”

Qing Mu squinted his eyes, stretched out his hands and shook them in front of him, grabbed Grandpa De forward, and smiled evilly: "Grandpa De, tell me quickly, what is it?" ”

"The minions don't know either! County Lord, let it go! I'm going to be pulled apart by you! Father-in-law De urged.

"Qingmu, it's okay! Don't be embarrassed by your father-in-law, let's go home! Qing Lun smiled.

"Hmm!" Qing Mu patted Father-in-law De with his hand and smiled: "Father-in-law De, thank you!" Then let go of him, walked out of the palace with Qinglun, and walked towards King Yi's mansion.
