In the first year of Xianqing (656 AD), the eighteenth month of the lunar month, the fourth quarter of the hour.

Yiningfang Dali Temple, Shangyi Bureau Feng Yu Du Renli, is undergoing the trial of the three divisions. Xu Jingzong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Tang Lin, the secretary of the Xing Department, Duan Baoxuan, the secretary of Dali Temple, and Yuan Gongyu in the imperial history, jointly tried the Shengpao case. It was Zhou Yu who beat Huang Gai, one was willing to fight, the other was willing to suffer, and Du Renli pleaded guilty in court.

In May of the sixth year of Yonghui, Wuzhou stabbed Shi Wukang and offered volcanic ash cement meritorious. The sage gave old clothes as materials, and the queen made a tailor by herself, making a purple robe to reward the history of martial arts. At that time, Du Renli was the emperor of the Shangyi Bureau, taking advantage of his position to intercept the old clothes of the saint, in an attempt to keep them as family heirlooms.

Unexpectedly, he was stolen by his cousin and wanted to sell it to Li Tao at a high price, but after being discovered, he absconded in fear of crime. Du Renli committed great disrespect, and according to the law, he was popular for two thousand miles, and was assigned to Yizhou, Shannan Province. The original Wuzhou assassin Shi Wukang, the purple clothes cut were not holy robes, and the crime of disrespect was not established, and he was released in court.

However, the death penalty can be avoided, the living crime is inescapable, the official robe is cut privately, and the etiquette is not in order, and it is pushed to the end. The agency has counted the whole five years, and the history of the assassination that took his life has completely come to naught. Wu Kang didn't care, all the honors of yesterday have become a distant past. If the heart is in a dream, hug Mei Niang's thighs, but start all over again.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, he took off his prison uniform and left the prison. Outside the gate of Dali Temple, he shook hands with the prison men cordially and thanked them for their care. The Yang family brought Wushun's mother and son, as well as Qian Shun and Pinglang, to pick him up from prison. Wu Kang was relaxed and happy, except for his sister Wu Shun, they all hugged warmly.

Yang's old tears were rampant, laughing and scolding him for not being big or small; Qian Shun Pinglang smirked, speechless for a while; Wu Shun and Minzhi were very excited and kept wiping their tears. Wu Kang carried Minyue on his back, and everyone returned to Yongxingfang Wufu.

Wu Kang couldn't wait to ask, and learned that Xiaoqing was okay and was still recuperating in the women's hospital, and his heart finally put his heart in his stomach. Happy to eat reunion dinner, abide by Mei Niang's instructions, and don't drink a drop of wine during the banquet. Accompany the Yang family to talk and laugh, before the curfew in Chang'an, politely refused to stay overnight, and took his brother back to Xiuzhenfang.

It's just that after he left, Wu Shun hid in the room and shed tears of jealousy. Angrily smashed the wrist jade bracelet, which was given by Mei Niang, it was originally a pair, one for each sister. The most terrible jealous woman, the poor Korean lady, has gone to the end of her life.

Wu Kang returned to Xiuzhenfang and saw three hundred brothers, which was another emotional drama. Shaking hands and hugging was not polite, everyone was very excited, and some cried and cried. Drink with the brethren, take turns toasting, and get drunk. The next morning, 50 people were left behind, and the rest followed Qian Shun and went to Wuzhou to pick up the troubles and enter Beijing.

The New Year has arrived, and I began to prepare for the New Year, put up lights, prepare for the New Year, and wait for the heroine to return. On the twentieth day of the lunar month, Qianniuwei sent Xiaoqing back. There are scars on the forehead and cheeks, and they are still so beautiful; The elbows and knees are bandaged, and they are still so charming.

Pick up your daughter-in-law and get out of the car, arrange the bedroom, and take care of her living. Cook her favorite dishes, coax her to drink bitter medicine, chat with her during the day, tell weird stories, and can't untie her clothes at night. During the period, Mei Niang did not come, it is estimated that the New Year is approaching, and various sacrificial activities are really not available.

It's just that every once in a while, I send precious medicinal materials and supplements, Ganoderma lucidum Cordyceps as rice, and ginseng soup and bird's nest as porridge to drink. Under careful care, his body recovered well, although he was still weak, and his face gradually turned bloody. On the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, when she was finally able to get out of bed, Wu Kang was ecstatic and took her for a walk every day.

The Spring Festival of the first year of Xianqing is the warmest and most comfortable since crossing the Tang Dynasty. went to Wufu alone to pay New Year's greetings, gave Min Zhi and Min Yue New Year's money, and found that Wu Shun was not in the right mood, with alienation in his eyes. and Xiao Minyue, unlike the previous intimacy, didn't even let her hug.

Wu Kang didn't feel at ease, after all, she was a nine-year-old girl, and she knew that she was shy. Back to Xiuzhenfang, accompany my daughter-in-law to have a reunion dinner, and get together with my brothers. The only regret is that the girl is not around, Wuzhou is too far away from Chang'an.

After the New Year, it is the Shangyuan Festival, and Chang'an has become a city that never sleeps, and it is said to be very lively. Wu Kang had no interest, accompanied his daughter-in-law on the swing, and enjoyed the warmth of the family. On the twenty-first day of the first month, Qian Shun finally came back, Xiaoqing hugged and made trouble, crying silently. Finally reunited with the family, life gradually became complete, every day to make trouble, accompany Xiaoqing in the courtyard for a walk.

In the first two months of this year, the thirteenth day of the first month of the leap month, funny things happened. Mei Niang sent someone to pass the word, Kang Lang cleaned up the softness, let's go to Luoyang to beg for food. Last year, it was rainy in Yongzhou, and Chang'an City was short of food, and the big landlords had no surplus food. He could only lead hundreds of civil and military officials, as well as tens of thousands of Chang'an citizens, to Luozhou to beg for food, and he called it food.

On the twenty-first day of the first month of the leap month, Su Dingfang, the general of the Right Tun Guard, was the general manager of the Yili Road march. He led Yan Ran to protect Ren Yaxiang, and the deputy capital to protect Xiao Siye, and recruited Tang soldiers and Hui soldiers to fight against the Western Turks from the north road. Ashina Mizu, Ashina Buzhen, led the Turkic troops to attack the Western Turks from the south road.

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, Li Jiu was completely ruthless, wanting to destroy the Western Turks. Wu Kang was excited, but at the same time he was helpless. I was pushed to the end, and I could only take care of my daughter-in-law at home, and I couldn't follow the expedition. On the third day of the second lunar month, the begging army entered Luozhou, and Li Jiu stayed in Luoyang Palace.

To the east of the Luoyang Palace, the famous Hanjia granary, open your belly and eat it. To the east of Jiacang, there is the Hongdao Zhengfang, Wukang and 300 security guards, which were arranged here by Mei Niang. Li Jiu is very thin-skinned, since he came to Luozhou to beg for food, he has to give Luozhou benefits.

On the fifth day of the second month, a holy decree was issued that all prisoners in Los Angeles, who had been sentenced to prison terms and below, were pardoned and returned home. At the same time, the people of Luozhou are exempted from one-year rent and adjustment; The old man over 100 years old will be given five corn and five silks.

On February 12, Li Xian was appointed as the king of Zhou, and Mei Niang sent people to send imperial meals and authentic red sorghum. Finally, I can feast on it, my mouth is full of oil, and my little face is round and chubby, and it is developing into a little chubby. At noon, I coaxed the little girl to take a nap, brought rice porridge to the bedroom, and fed the eldest girl in the family.

Xiaoqing was full of happiness, looking at her husband with affection, and after eating the porridge in the bowl, she smiled mischievously: "Since marrying your husband, the recent time has been the most beautiful and happy." Feed me, sleep with me, wake me up, walk with me, want to be hurt forever. ”

This unlucky girl, what nonsense, Wu Kang rolled his eyes: "The master once said that you are a wild goose, and you will be a couple for a lifetime." I don't smash the master's signboard, so on the day of the Hundred Sticks Forest, I made a heavy oath. In this life, I will guard you to live, not contaminated with other women, and only be good to my Xiaoqing. ”

Xiaoqing was stunned for a moment, tears of happiness fell, she took her husband's hand, and said coquettishly: "This is what I dreamed of, Xiaoqing is so happy, she has to talk about it." Husband, do you know, with the last catastrophe, people have also figured it out. It's not good to be an official, it's better to be safe and happy, our family of three is the best to be happy. ”

Wu Kangle spoke up, squeezed his eyebrows and teased jokingly: "Our petty official fan finally realized that the penitent husband is looking for a marquis." As long as you are willing, when you are fully recovered, we will go back to Wuzhou. Buy 100 acres of land, I will plough the field and you will weave cloth, I will carry water to you to water the garden, and the husband and wife will return their homes. ”

Xiaoqing was moved again, raised her hands in agreement, you say a word to me, look forward to the pastoral picture, and weave a better tomorrow together. Then the harmony was broken, and Mei Niang's voice came: You don't have a chance, you can't pick a pick, Xiaoqing abducted Kang Lang, who else can I rely on?

The female president came, Wu Kang stood up and saluted, but was directly ignored. Mei Niang sat on the edge of the bed, stopped Xiaoqing from getting up, held her hands, and said softly: "The brothers are not angry, and they can't count on it at all, and there is only one Kang Lang left in my sister's mother's family." Could it be that Xiaoqing couldn't bear to let her sister, who was already walking on thin ice, become a loner again? ”

Xiaoqing hurriedly shook her head and denied it: "Sister, I was joking, just a joke, the noisy aunt and aunt must be fully supported." It's just that just after the catastrophe, the husband rashly became an official, which will provoke the courtiers. So go back to Wuzhou first, avoid this limelight, and then go out in a year or two. ”

Mei Niang was amused, and said angrily: "Just avoid the limelight in the capital, why bother to seek the near and far, it's no need to say it." But you're right, it's not appropriate to be an official directly, I've arranged it all. The saint will practice for General Su at noon tomorrow. Kang Lang would be his guard, and together he would crusade against the Western Turks and gain credit on the battlefield. Waiting for the class teacher to return to the court, according to the size of the merit, he will be promoted to prepare for the body or a thousand cattle to prepare for the body. ”

Wu Kang was stunned on the spot, and in the Tang Dynasty to destroy the Western Turkic War, he was able to take the last train, and his blood was boiling soon. Su Dingfang is the god of war, he has destroyed countless countries in his life, and he can learn a lot of things as his guard. Suddenly, my eyes rolled, and I thought of something more interesting.

Xiaoqing was a little entangled, Mei Niang was kind and pleasant, and continued to pour ecstasy soup: "Xiaoqing don't worry, Kang Lang is a dignified uncle, and Su Dingfang will arrange it." Kang Lang can also rest assured, after you set out on the expedition, I will arrange ten maidservants to take care of Xiaoqing's daily life. ”

In other words, she can't shirk it anymore, Xiaoqing smiled mischievously: "I'm afraid my sister's purpose is to turn my husband into a thousand cow guards and protect you closely." Xiaoqing also thinks that this arrangement is very good, and it is the husband's duty to protect her sister closely. ”

The so-called reserve, or Qianniu preparation, is the guard with a sword in front of the emperor. They are led by the left and right rulers; In the fifth year of Xianqing, he changed the left and right Qianniu Mansion; In the first year of Shenlong, it was changed to the left and right Qianniuwei. Because of Li Yuanfang's eldest brother, he is very yearning for Qianniuwei, and he sounds very popular.

Xiaoqing's answer, Mei Niang was very satisfied, turned her head to glance at Wukang, and said indifferently: "Xiaoqing has agreed, you pack up today, and set off on time tomorrow." There are guests in the living room, and it will be of great benefit to you to come with me to receive them. ”

After saying goodbye to Xiaoqing, he walked with his head held high, like a proud peacock. Wu Kang was in a fog, this person had taken explosives, and his attitude was very abnormal, was his relative here. Pursing their lips helplessly, the husband and wife looked at each other and smiled bitterly, grabbed their hands and left the bedroom.

followed behind Mei Niang, sensing the aura on her body, which was even more cold. After thinking about it carefully, I didn't offend her, what's wrong. Walking out of the backyard door and passing by the flower garden, Mei Niang suddenly became troubled.

The little hand grabbed him by the collar, his pretty face was full of anger, and he raised his foot and stepped onto the flower bed. The flower bed was a little high, and she was a little struggling, Wu Kang hurriedly stretched out his hand, helped her waist, and sent her to the flower bed. She was condescending, with two faces, almost together.

After a while, Mei Niang gritted her teeth, and squeezed out a voice between her teeth: "What did you just say, only be good to Cui Xiaoqing and guard her life?" I don't know how to be a bastard of four or six, go to work for her, and leave me. You're a thousand-knife killer, you let me down so much, don't forget, you have to protect my well-being! ”

It turns out that the problem is here, Wu Kang's scalp is numb, what kind of vinegar to eat. couldn't cry or laugh for a while, and hurriedly explained: "Mei Niang misunderstood, she is only good to Xiaoqing, which refers to the love between men and women, and she is loyal to her." Xiaoqing also said just now, it is my duty to protect your safety. ”

The president's face turned a little pale, and Wu Kang then flickered: "You also know Xiaoqing, she is an official fan, if we go back to Wuzhou, we can't exceed the moon, and we will definitely force me to be an official." As the saying goes, the country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change. If you are a petty official fan, just listen to it as a joke, don't be like her. ”

This is still human words, the president was not angry, but he did not let go of his collar, and said in a matter-of-fact manner: "You swear to her, and you have to swear to me, swear now." Say that you will always protect me, always be loyal, and never betray my sister. ”

Little girls are jealous, our generation of empresses, the way to open is wrong. But then again, you will enter the peak of your life, hold your thighs tightly, and only then can you prosper in official fortune. I don't have a funny brain, there is no reason to betray, the two of us have long been grasshoppers on a rope.

Thinking of this, he raised his right hand and said solemnly: "I volunteer to become, Mei Niang's minion." Support Mei Niang's program, abide by Mei Niang's charter, and fulfill the obligations of minions. Implement Mei Niang's decision, strictly abide by Mei Niang's discipline, and keep Mei Niang's secret. Be loyal to Mei Niang, work actively, and strive for Mei Niang's career for life. Be ready at any time, sacrifice everything for Mei Niang, and never be betrayed by Mei Niang. ”

This was very shameless, Mei Niang was dumbfounded, took a sip for a long time, and let go of his collar. With his hands on his shoulders, his fingers clasped behind his head, he glanced at the ground. Wu Kang understood, hugged her by the waist, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, this moody.

Continuing to walk towards the living room, her tone softened a lot: "The sage issued a holy decree, all the states of the Tang Dynasty, Shangzuo canceled the don't drive, only Changshi and Sima remained, and restored the real power." Wuzhou officialdom was adjusted, and Di Renjie, who joined the army, was promoted to the history of Wuzhou assassination; Hu Cao joined the army and was promoted to the governor of Wu; Fa Cao joined the army of King Luo Bin and was promoted to Sima of Wuzhou. ”

Wu Kang was dumbfounded, and the three henchmen sat on rockets and rose several levels in a row. Wuzhou is Shangzhou, the history of the assassin is from the third grade, the long history is from the fifth grade, and Sima is from the fifth grade, all of which are real high-ranking officials. However, Wuzhou is my old nest and my descendant, and they are in charge of the best.

Mei Niang suddenly snorted softly, and her tone returned to cold: "Kang Lang, don't worry, I won't let go of our enemies." Chu Suiliang, Han Ying and Lai Ji, including the eldest grandson Wuji, will all pay the price. The sage has agreed that next month's court meeting, Chu Suiliang will be appointed as the governor of Guizhou. ”

Feeling the rich coldness, Wu Kang was frightened, and his scalp tingled. Chu Suiliang was the governor of Tanzhou (Changsha City, Hunan Province), and was demoted to the governor of Guizhou (Guilin City, Guangxi Province), and they were all demoted to the seaside. Dear Lao Chu, blame yourself for being on the wrong side of the line, and consider yourself unlucky. But then again, Guilin's landscapes are the best in the world, so let's cultivate your mind and temperament.

suddenly remembered, it seems that in August this year, Mei Niang will shoot again. Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu were demons, Han Ying and Lai Ji would also be demoted, and Chu Suiliang was directly demoted to Vietnam. It feels a little scary, it's okay to offend a woman, as long as you don't go too far, and forget about it after a while. But she can't offend the second time, because she will remember the first time, and the old and new accounts will be counted together.

Mei Niang saw that his face was bad, and sighed lightly and said: "Don't blame my sister for being ruthless, the struggle for power, either you die or I die." Don't talk about this, Kang Lang should pay attention to safety and don't charge into battle this time. If there are any other requirements, I will convey them to Su Dingfang and ask him to handle them as appropriate. ”

Wu Kang thought for a moment, leaned into her ear, and made two requests. Mei Niang frowned lightly, nodded her head for a long time, and was quite regretful: "Originally, Sister's choice was Sikong Li Tao, and I haven't talked to him yet." Since Kang Lang has decided, then Su Dingfang, it's a good choice. ”

Soon came to the living room and saw the old man sitting upright, Wu Kang hesitated slightly, and hurriedly went over to salute. The old man got up, smiled and supported, and the three of them saluted each other. Mei Niang finished the introduction and said straight to the point: "Kang Lang is easy to be impulsive, if he makes a mistake in the army, General Su can punish him as much as he can, as long as he doesn't die." ”

Su Dingfang didn't even say that he dare, this was to warn me to protect Uncle Wu. After a moment of politeness, Mei Niang continued: "Kang Lang has three hundred friends, who have been born and died with him, so let them line up later." If the general can see it, he can choose the person he likes and join the guard. ”

Lao Su was very entangled when he heard this, and he looked down on the southern soldiers in his heart, they were all weak and incompetent, and their combat power was not as good as that of the northern men. However, the queen's face can't be refuted casually, just pick a few and take care of Wukang with the army. Thinking of this, I nodded in agreement.

Qian Shun took the order, put his finger in his mouth, and whistled three times in a row. The originally quiet courtyard soon sounded noise, and then there was a chaotic footstep. In less than three minutes, a large crowd poured in; In less than six minutes, the security guards lined up neatly.

Counting Qian Shun and Pinglang, there were three hundred people, standing in three phalanxes. Each column of five columns, each column of twenty people, has been fully assembled. Black tights, gray cape, black cloth towel. He carries a quiver on his left shoulder, a long bow on his right shoulder, a long horizontal knife at his waist, and a flail in his right hand.

Keep your head high, be in good spirits, look ahead, and slaughter. Su Dingfang couldn't help but look sideways, the blood flow accelerated, and the general, who had been in a hundred battles, could naturally distinguish the soldiers. Look at a line vertically, look at a line horizontally, like a wooden man.

Wu Kang was very satisfied, the brothers behaved well and did not disgrace the big guy. Let's not talk about anything else, the capacity and assembly speed of a single army can kill any government soldier in seconds. Mei Niang also saw the doorway, threw a flattering eye at Kanglang, and motioned for Su Dingfang to review.

Lao Su didn't give in, stepped into the battle, and inspected in the queue. Nodding from time to time, the look of satisfaction is overflowing. Seeing the Wuzhou flail, it aroused a strong interest, it seemed to be ebony and steel, what a luxury equipment.

Stop beside the soldier and stretch out to take the flail. Feeling the resistance, the soldier clenched tightly, and his body did not move. Su Dingfang frowned, suddenly shouted, and the horizontal knife from his waist came out of the sheath and slashed the soldier's neck. In the flash of light, the blade stopped instantly, only half an inch from his neck.

Look at the soldier again, still unmoved, like wood. Su Dingfang looked up to the sky and smiled, put away the knife and returned it to the sheath for a long time, strode to Mei Niang, hugged his fist and said firmly: "Please ask the queen to agree, these three hundred soldiers, all the generals will ask for them, and all of them will be arranged as personal soldiers." ”

Mei Niang is very happy, these little bastards, dare to rob the law field in the capital, are you still afraid of being scared? motioned to Lao Su to be exempt, and said with a pleasant face: "It is their blessing to be able to enter the eyes of the generals." In addition, tell the general that they are all cavalry, and the horses are fed next door. ”

Su Dingfang was stunned for a few seconds, and instantly overjoyed, three hundred elite cavalry were absolute treasures. Mei Niang beckoned to her younger brother, put on a warm smile, and looked at Su Dingfang: "Uncle and aunt went early, and I neglected to discipline him, which caused him to fall into a catastrophe and almost lost his life." Annoyed General Su, accepted Kang Lang as an apprentice, and disciplined him well on behalf of the palace. ”

Wu Kang immediately cooperated, bowing down and kneeling. Su Dingfang hesitated for a few seconds, but also fell in love with talents, nodded and agreed: "Changing to bring out such a soldier, and being able to charge into battle by yourself is a rare general." Since the queen requested, the minister should only agree, and what the minister has learned in his life will be taught to him. ”

Mei Niang was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked people to prepare and invite Su Dingfang into the living room. Put on the incense table, burn the incense, and please take the main seat. Wu Kang pious tea ceremony and completed the apprenticeship ceremony. I can't suppress my excitement, Lao Su is the god of war in the Tang Dynasty, and it is a great blessing to be able to worship him as a teacher.

Today, the new generation of Datang's god of war has officially taken a glimpse of the door and is about to rise...
