Chapter 389: Embracing Hope
Chapter 389: Hope
Li Huaitang, who was hotly discussed by the people of the Tang Dynasty and concerned by the Tang court, affected the nerves of all parties, was in the pile of beauties at the moment, eating tofu under the banner of teaching beauties to ride horses.
The vast military camp of the Flying Tiger has become the best place for beauties to practice horseback riding, and the beauties learn to ride horses because they are going to Chang'an, although they can take the carriage, but they will be very uncomfortable in the carriage for thousands of miles, and sometimes it is a reverent thing to ride a horse to enjoy the scenery on the road.
Among several beauties, Liu Meiren's riding skills are barely passable, Pei Xiaoniang and Shui Rouer are average, as for the exquisite Shuangshu, it can be described as miserable, at the beginning, the sisters didn't dare to get on the horse, but they were directly held in the saddle by Li Huaitang.
Shang Long is usually not timid, but when he rides on the horse, he turns his 'sex', and every time he sits on the horse's back stiffly, I don't know if it is because Li Huaitang is holding his slender waist from behind, or because he is worried and afraid.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Li Huaitang attached himself to Shang Long's ear, and the warm air sent by the soft voice blew on the ears of the little lady Long'er, and her face was full of crimson 'color'.
"Hmm." Shang Long replied instinctively. The horse under her seat ran very rhythmically and steadily, she knew that she would not fall off the horse, and a large hand from behind her was on her flat lower abdomen, which was just right for her to feel his presence through her clothes.
Shang Long couldn't imagine that she was intimately riding with this person, and in her residual consciousness, that night, he was a ferocious demon, bringing her indelible pain. After more than two months of getting along, she gradually discovered that the person she was going to marry was completely different from what she knew before. In the General's Mansion, there was no expected compulsion, but there was unexpected care, although the atmosphere was always awkward every time they met, but it was not sad, she even felt that he cared about her and cared about her feelings.
To this day, Shang Long still clearly remembers how this person scoundrelly 'forced' himself to call him "husband" three times.
"I, can I go to Chang'an with you?" The jerky inquiry still echoed in the ears of Long'er Niang.
"No way!" The negative answer made Shang Long very uncomfortable, but he didn't expect him to use a peak and turn tone, "Unless you call me three times." ”
Every time he remembered the scene where he played tricks on himself, Shang Long couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth, and he felt hot all over his body, especially when he was protecting himself and riding a horse, Shang Long felt very wonderful, as if there were only two people in the whole world, she and him, was it sweet? She didn't know either.
"You laughed." Li Huaitang breathed in her ear again.
Shang Long was silent, bowing his head to enjoy the shyness.
"You still owe me two husbands," after saying that, Li Huaitang made a sneak attack, proudly leaving a 'lip' mark on her face's lovely flush.
"Huh?" Shang Long was ashamed, but he couldn't stop it.
"Well, this is interest. As long as you don't pay the bill, I'll still collect interest! Li Huaitang continued to be shameless. Linglong Shuangshu looks exactly the same, but the performance in front of Li Huaitang is different, Ling'er is delicate, but surprisingly crisp, three husbands shouted timidly and full of shyness but melodious, but Shang Long's 'desire' words are still resting, "husband" couldn't help but be ashamed, turned around and became a deserter, so Li Huaitang became a creditor.
"I, I don't, stop, let me go!" Shang Long suddenly panicked inexplicably, struggled non-stop, and actually 'wanted' to jump off the horse.
Li Huaitang was careless for a moment and didn't catch the crazy Shang Long. In order to save Shang Long, Li Huaitang hugged her and fell off the horse together, but fortunately there was a layer of snow on the racecourse, and Li Huaitang rolled on the ground several times before stopping.
"Let go of me!" Shang Long exclaimed and wanted to stand up, but was hugged by Li Huaitang and couldn't move.
The two were lying on the snow ambiguously, oh no, to be precise, it was Li Huaitang lying on the snow, and Long'er Xiaoniang lying on his 'chest'.
"Put... Woo... Woo"
Li Huaitang suddenly pressed hard, Shang Long's cherry mouth was tightly attached to Li Huaitang's lips, Shang Long was shocked and whined helplessly.
Gradually, Shang Long quieted down and passively accepted the warm suction and teasing.
For a long time, when Li Huaitang was enjoying it, he suddenly screamed, let go of Shang Long, covered his mouth and grinned.
"Dengzi, teach you to bully me!" Shang Long got up from Li Huaitang, turned around and ran away, leaving a sentence of schadenfreude, which seemed to have a stronger taste in Li Huaitang's ears.
Li Huaitang sat up, admiring Shang Long's running posture of twisting his waist and swinging his hips, and the tight-fitting Hu clothes highlighted her graceful figure, especially the backward tilt, which inadvertently evoked his absurd memories of that night. Shang Ling's little lady's figure is also angry, if the two of them are waiting together, I don't know what this taste will be**, Li Huaitang's thoughts drifted away......
Li Huaitang's fall alarmed Ma Da and Ma Er in the distance, and the two hurriedly rode their horses to the place where they fell, but what they saw was a scene that they shouldn't see, and the two turned around and waited on the side. In the past year, they have taken over all the breeding populations of the Khun horses in the country of Pakhana, and they are responsible for the breeding, breeding and domestication of thousands of sweaty horses. After a year of hard work, the horse herd has grown a lot, and hundreds of tamed war horses have been sent to Ning Yuan Tieqi. The foal that Li Huaitang rode just now was another sweat and blood war horse that had been domesticated by them, and these dozens of 'fine' carefully selected horses were ready to be contributed to the Tang Emperor.
"General, are you alright?" Martha was very worried, in case the newly slaughtered war horses were not tamed and the general was injured, or if the general was not satisfied with the horses, in any case, this responsibility could not be borne by him.
"It's just a small thing, lend me your horse!" Needless to say, Li Huaitang jumped on the horse and ran towards Shang Long.
The speed of the sweaty horse is not comparable to Shang Long, there is no suspense, Li Huaitang caught up with her from behind, and the weak Long'er little lady was carried on the back of the horse again, and was tightly attached to Li Huaitang's 'chest', but in the face of Li Huaitang, Shang Long simply counterattacked, hugged his hands back, and listened to the heartbeat.
"Humph! Li Lang is bullying the merchant girl again. The war horse brought Li Huaitang and them to Pei Xiaoniang and other beauties, and all the beauties looked at Li Huaitang with a smile, but Pei Xiaoniang's mouth was full of sourness.
"I'm teaching Long'er how to ride a horse!"
"Nonsense, did you teach like this?" Pei Xiaoniang rolled her eyes.
Li Huaitang smiled: "Why don't I teach you?" ”
"Phew!" Pei Xiaoniang took a sip. These days, she has been taught a lot, but as a result, her riding skills have not improved, and she has been rubbed a lot of oil and water.
"Li Lang," Liu Meiren pursed her lips and smiled, "Let Sister Long'er practice by herself, Master Lu is waiting for you." ”
Li Huaitang's gaze crossed Liu Meiren and saw Master Lu dozens of steps away, standing there with a respectful face.
Master Lu has been very prosperous recently, and he is responsible for the mining of copper and gold mines, and the general is fulfilling his promise, 'pumping' hundreds of strong slaves and more than a dozen craftsmen, sculpting stone statues for him, and preparing to stand in the central square of Ningyuan City, telling the world that he is the master architect of Ningyuan City.
Li Huaitang let go of the merchant lady and talked with Master Lu.
"Are two million catties of copper ready?"
"The general's orders, how dare I slack off? It's been ready for a long time! ”
According to Li Huaitang's instructions, these two million catties of copper were cast into large copper ingots and transported to Chang'an to contribute to the Tang Dynasty.
"General, it's a lot of things for Lao Lu, these two million catties of copper are worth at least 300,000 yuan, so they were given to Datang?" Master Lu felt that it was a pity, after all, mining is not easy, and copper smelting is even more difficult.
Li Huaitang said: "Two million catties is just our output for a month, and if we increase investment, the output will increase." We don't lack copper, but we don't have enough people and materials. And Datang lacks copper, which is very lacking, but the materials are very rich. ”
Since the advent of coal, large quantities of copper and gold nuggets have been smelted. This is also the reason why Li Huaitang is wealthy.
"Then why didn't the general buy it from Datang? We sent it out in vain, but Datang will not send us supplies in vain. Master Lu had the courage to raise the objection in his heart.
Li Huaitang said with a smile: "What you want must be given first, how can you gain if you are reluctant to invest?" Two million catties only, our copper and gold mines can be mined for hundreds of years according to the current output, so we might as well increase the output with more manpower. ”
White delivery is not Li Huaitang's style, courtesy to others, there will be something to ask for, in addition to seeking Pei Xiaoniang, there is a greater meaning, but it is not appropriate to say it to Master Lu.
"But where did the manpower come from? There were only so many slaves, and coal mines had to be mined, and other minerals would have to be found in the future. And the residents are reluctant to engage in mining work, the general is recruiting troops, and those who meet the conditions are rushing to join the Ningyuan Iron Cavalry. ”
The expansion of the Ningyuan Iron Cavalry not only robbed the labor force of Master Lu, but also robbed the construction labor force in the city.
"Hehe, there will be labor soon." Li Huaitang disagreed, the purpose of expanding the army was to fight, and a war would inevitably lead to prisoners, and with prisoners, the problem of labor would naturally be solved.
Master Lu heard the meaning, and the general was going to arrest the slaves again.
"Those who come to us for no reason will have to pay the price, Kang Shimi has sent compensation, and the Five Senses and Gulu have not said, since they don't come, then we will take it. At that time, General Hudu will send you back tens of thousands of strong slaves, so you can rest assured that you are ready to expand the scale, and then you will drive full power to pick it for me! ”
Li Huaitang's explanation made Master Lu excited, and he looked at the Flying Tiger Cavalry that was being trained in the distance, and the Flying Tiger Cavalry had added 3,000 cavalry to reach a veritable 10,000 cavalry! With such a powerful iron horse, why worry about Hu Buke?
The expansion of the army was not only the Flying Tiger Cavalry, but the other three armies were supplemented with a large number of new soldiers, 18,000 Tiger Cavalry and 18,000 Tiger Wolf Cavalry, and 35,000 Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, in preparation for the capture of Stone Country and Broken Leaf City in a few months.
The expansion of the army did not encounter any difficulties, and the rewards received by the soldiers were very good to those young residents, and they all realized that the money was in Ningyuan Iron Cavalry! When the recruitment notice was posted on the 'door' of the General's Mansion, countless people flocked to the recruitment office, whether it was Ningyuan City or Xijian City, their positive 'sex' seemed extremely crazy.
At the same time, outside the racecourse where the Flying Tiger rode in, a horse galloped in, and the guards recognized the identity of the knight and did not stop it.
"An Luo'er?" There is no need to see the knight's face clearly, the sturdy sweaty pony foal 'revealed' the identity of the comer. Although An Luo'er has been to Chang'an once, this time she is still unwilling to let go of the opportunity, of course, it is not Chang'an itself that attracts her, but Li Huaitang, especially Linglong Shuangshu's entourage 'provoked' her. Li Huaitang hoped that she would stay, on the one hand, to accompany Ye Ji, and on the other hand, to avoid Liu Shangyue's embarrassment. To put it mildly, in the end, at the cost of a vigorous sweaty horse, An Luo'er reluctantly agreed to stay in Ningyuan City.
"Li Lang, hurry, hurry back home!" In the distance, Anloel shouted loudly.
Li Huaitang had a premonition of joy, and sure enough, An Luo'er, whose face was flushed with excitement, brought him good news: "Sister Ye Ji, she is going to give birth!" ”
Slightly stunned, Li Huaitang didn't say a word, left Master Lu, left everyone, and jumped on the war horse to go to the General's Mansion.
The general's mansion was already in chaos, and Li Huaitang bumped head-on with the panicked Shan at the entrance of the 'flower' garden 'gate'.
"Ah, Li Lang, quick, I'm looking for you everywhere." Shan didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, and pulled Li Huaitang back.
Ye Ji's screams of pain were clearly audible, and Li Huaitang's heart was trembling, squeezing Shan's hand hard, as if the pain had been transmitted to her.
"Li Lang, relax, you're pinching Shan." Su Xiaoniang beside her comforted her gently.
"The midwife is already inside, and they said that Sister Ye Ji's fetal position is very normal, and her sister has given birth, so it should be very smooth." Su Xiaoniang continued to distract Li Huaitang. At that time, she was even more nervous than Li Huaitang, and her palms were sweaty.
Only then did Li Huaitang notice that Su Xiaoniang was constantly stroking her own lower abdomen.
"You've just gotten pregnant, it's early." Li Huaitang caressed Su Xiaoniang's stomach with pity.
"It's all Li Lang, it's necrotic, let the concubine get pregnant at this time," Su Xiaoniang's eyes suddenly turned red, and she was angry.
There is a intention to plant 'flowers' and 'flowers' that do not bloom, and there is no intention to 'insert' willows into the shade. Su Xiaoniang couldn't cry or laugh, she was looking forward to the stars and the moon and begging for her belly to bulge, but she couldn't get her wish, but before she was about to go to Chang'an, the little life quietly possessed her. This means that Su Xiaoniang cannot follow Li Huaitang to Chang'an City.
Li Huaitang smiled: "It's okay, I promise, how about going to Chang'an with you next time?" ”
"Li Lang, don't lie to me." In addition to resentment, Su Xiaoniang can only accept reality.
"Ahh In the delivery room, Ye Ji's painful screams suddenly came out again, which was even more poignant than last time.
Su Xiaoniang instinctively leaned towards Li Huaitang for comfort: "Li Lang, the concubine is afraid!" It seems to hurt. ”
Li Huaitang was speechless, and gently hugged Su Xiaoniang, who was shrouded in worry, and it was his turn to comfort her.
"Wow!" The first cry of the little life in this world came to Li Huaitang's ears.
Raw!
Then, outside the delivery room, a midwife who likes to be 'sexual' appeared.
"Congratulations to the General! The one with the handle is Xiao Langjun! ”
"Ahh Great, congratulations Li Lang! A group of beauties who had just rushed back said congratulations, but people flocked to the delivery room.
Su Xiaoniang pushed the stupid Li Huaitang: "Silly Li Lang, go quickly, you are a father." ”
The news of Ye Ji's successful birth of Qilin'er brought joy to a group of soldiers who were waiting in the front hall of the General's Mansion. Different from the way the soldiers cheered loudly, Wu 'Meng' breathed a sigh of relief, and the general's heir panic was finally resolved, before that, he was worried about Li Huaitang's heir, and when Ye Ji was pregnant, he turned to worry that it was Xiaoniang who gave birth. The significance of Ye Ji's birth today is very great, especially before Li Huaitang went to Chang'an, he gave the entire Ningyuan City a reassurance, not to mention, Mrs. Zizi is also pregnant.
"Long live Lady Ye Ji! Long live Ningyuan City! The little chestnut first raised his arms and shouted, shouting out the hearts of the entire army and people in Ningyuan City! That is the hope of Ning Yuan City!
Inside the delivery room. Ye Ji's face was pale, and she lay on the 'bed' couch weakly, and Li Huaitang sat beside her, gently holding her hand and whispering relief. Xiao Li Lang was grabbed by a group of beauties, as a father, Li Huaitang hugged him for a while, and under the coaxing of a group of envious beauties, Xiao Li Lang's fatherly love was cruelly deprived.
"Shiro should give the child a name." Ye Ji's voice was weak.
Li Huaitang nodded and said, "Li Mutian, take the sky as a shepherd." ”
The expectations of the elders for the juniors are largely reflected in the names chosen. Ye Ji could hear Li Huaitang's high hopes for newborns. Isn't the shepherd a hero like Li Huaitang? Even, all the beauties present felt that Li Huaitang had the meaning of arranging the "prince".
"So, what about the table?" Pei Xiaoniang looked at the little guy in her arms curiously, her heart was not so complicated, and her interest was all focused on Li Huaitang's naming art.
In ancient times, the table word was an interpretation and supplement to its name, such as Yue Fei, the word Pengju, and the meaning of Dapeng spreading its wings and 'wanting' to fly.
"Ten thousand miles." Li Huaitang winked at Pei Xiaoniang and deliberately 'tricked'.
"Okay, Shepherd's Miles! Li Lang is so talented! Pei Xiaoniang almost forgot Li Mutian in the crook of her arm, and her slender 'jade' hand actually clapped her hands and praised her.
"Be careful!" In the delivery room, there was a panic and laughter......
The noise in the delivery room was very short, Ye Ji was tired and needed to rest, Xiao Mutian was tired of crying, and he also lay beside his mother.
"Li Lang go and meet the soldiers, they are all clamoring to see Xiao Mutian." An Luo'er volunteered to stay and take care of Ye Ji's mother and son, and asked everyone to quit to keep the delivery room quiet.
"Li Lang." Outside the 'door', Su Xiaoniang pulled Li Huaitang.
"Huh?"
Su Xiaoniang bit her lip and said, "You also name the child in the concubine's belly, okay?" ”
"So fast? I don't know if it's a man or a 'woman'! Li Huaitang was angry and funny. Obviously, Su Xiaoniang is jealous, but this is normal, everyone wants their bones and 'flesh' to be valued, and Xiao Mutian's name greatly touched Su Xiaoniang's heart.
"Okay?" Su Xiaoniang made a killer move and went to Li Huaitang's heart.
Li Huaitang nodded helplessly, thought about it, and said with a smile: "Li Yunlong!" How is it? ”
"Dragon in the Clouds!?" Su Xiaoniang's eyes lit up, and after only a moment, she was worried again: "But, but,"
"But what?"
"What if the concubine gave birth to a little girl?"
"Then it's called Yunfeng!"
Su Xiaoniang is not interested in Li Huaitang's laziness and tricks, she is worried about the 'sex' of life in her womb. Li Huaitang noticed the melancholy on her face, grabbed her hand and pressed it on her body, and said: "Don't worry, no matter whether it is a man or a woman, the husband likes it, no matter the man or woman, Zizi will always be the purple purple in the husband's heart." ”
"Li Lang!" Su Xiaoniang threw herself into Li Huaitang's arms emotionally, hugging him tightly, as if holding the most important hope in her life...... Please keep in mind the URL, if you like "War Owl in Tang" written by the wolf under the moon
