Chapter 438: Chu Xiaolian

For the soldiers and civilians of Ningyuan City, the great victory was as natural as the sun rising in the east and setting in the west every day, and with the presence of the general, they would not doubt the arrival of victory.

Hearing that the Tuqi Shi people were defeated and thousands of Tuqi Shi cavalry were captured, the whole city fell into a scene of jubilation again, and the end of the Tuqi Shi people meant that Ningyuan City was safer, and no one would come to disturb their beautiful life in the future. The merchants were concerned about the smooth flow of trade routes, if the general took advantage of the victory to pursue and take down the broken leaf tooth recognized by the Tuqi Shi in one go, and then use the aftermath to overcome the entire territory of Shiguo, then there would be one more trade route, and the capacity of the Western Regions market would be expanded countless times, and the trade with Western Byzantium and other countries would be smoother.

The Tiger Wolf Rider brought back more than 2,000 Turkish captives, and the Turks were too strong to let them be allowed to be enslaved in one place, and the coal mines only received 2,000 men, and the rest were to be transferred to the copper and gold mines. Before sending them into the mines, a prisoner offering was held.

In Li Huaitang's absence, Ye Ji greeted the triumphant army on his behalf. The lady's group of the General's Mansion appeared on the stage and stood at the head of the eastern city of Ningyuan City. Since the day of Li Huaitang's expedition, Ningyuan City has been on alert for war, and the four city 'gates' of the whole city are only open to the east 'gate'.

It was the tiger and wolf cavalry soldiers who escorted the captives back to the city. The prowess and wonder of the soldiers contrasted sharply with the malaise of the captives, and the gap between them hinted at the brilliance of the victory, which caused the onlookers to cheer and cheer from the onlookers.

The city resounded with exciting drums, and countless flags swayed and fluttered in the wind, which was the general's wife on behalf of the whole city to express their tribute to the soldiers who fought bloodily on the front line.

"The Admiral is mighty!" The soldiers raised their weapons and responded with a 'stirring'.

In the eastern section of Chang'an Avenue, the spacious 'exposed' face was crowded with crowds on both sides, and they also gave warm applause to the soldiers who returned triumphantly.

"Tsk, Ning Yuan Iron Cavalry is really powerful and invincible!" The audience's thoughts were unanimous.

"Huh? Isn't that the shopkeeper of Shangqi? "Someone with sharp eyes found that Shang Qi was 'mixed' in the army entering the city, holding the scimitar of the Tuqi Shi people, and his spirit was flying.

Shang Qi deliberately showed off, broke away from the army, followed Li Zhongxin straight to the head of the city, and waved to the city while ascending, lest people would not see his existence.

"Li Zhongxin, what about the general?" The first person to ask questions was Mrs. Zizi, who was 'upright' with a big belly.

Li Zhongxin clenched his fists and said: "Mrs. Hui, the general has smashed Ye Daya!" General Gongsun took the tiger and the wolf to support him, and asked me to lead the tiger and wolf to ride the prisoners back to defense. ”

Su Xiaoniang was a little disappointed, and complained: "Send a general to clean up the mess, do you need to go in person?" I think he may have taken a fancy to some princess and princess. ”

Liu Meiren pursed her lips and smiled, comforting Su Xiaoniang and said: "Zizi don't be angry, the overall situation has been decided, Li Lang went to the battlefield in person to end the war as soon as possible, don't worry, he will definitely be able to come back in time to wait for the birth of the little life in your belly." ”

Su Xiaoniang's time for giving birth is getting closer, Ye Ji originally didn't let her come out, but she couldn't resist her, everyone in the house knew that the closer she got to give birth, the more she missed her husband, so she had to follow her wishes and carefully support her to go to the city, but as a result, one in ten thousand hopes was shattered, and Li Huaitang did not come back.

Then Li Zhongxin reported the general situation one by one. These captives were the subordinates of Dumozhi and Gusi, and Dumozhi and Gusi escaped by luck; The general has routed Sulu Khan's main force and successfully captured the Dolong Pass, and the second group of prisoners is about to be returned; It is said that Shattered Leaf Castle also fell into the hands of the General's strange soldiers. After recovering Broken Leaf Town, the general will continue to attack Shiguo, 'wanting' to take advantage of the situation to take Zhezhi City.

After Li Zhongxin finished speaking, it was Shang Qi's turn to perform.

"Brother! Are you bleeding? Ling'er was careful and saw that Shang Qi had blood stains on his neck.

Shang Qi proudly raised his hand to wipe it, and said, "It's okay, it's the Tuqi Shiren, your brother and I have won glory for you, and killed three Tuqi Shiren!" Hehe, this time I'm going to give me a silver star from the general, and I'm going to hang the silver star on the plaque in the mansion to glorify my ancestors! ”

"Don't dream, the silver star is the glory of the soldiers, wait until you join the Ningyuan Iron Cavalry. However, with your body, I'm afraid it's in vain to join the army! A large plate of cold water poured out of Li Zhongxin's mouth, stabbing Shang Qi like a needle.

If the two are allowed to quarrel, it is estimated that it will take a whole day. Ye Ji had no choice but to intervene to stop the quarrel between the two.

"Li Lang said that if someone has made a great contribution to our Ningyuan City, and is not a resident of our Ningyuan City, they can consider giving the title of honorary resident. In my opinion, the army can also follow this method, Shang Qi has meritorious service in killing the enemy, and it is not an exaggeration to be an honorary soldier of Ningyuan Iron Cavalry. I'll talk to your generals about this. ”

Linglong Shuangshu nodded to Ye Ji with a sense of 'excitement', it seems that this sister did not recognize it in vain.

After thanking him, Shang Qi proudly showed off to Li Zhongxin, and the meaning was obvious: Who made you not have a beautiful girl?

Shang Qi no longer paid attention to Li Zhongxin, and pulled Linglong Shuangshu to continue selling treasures: "Sister, I have earned face for you, and you have to fight for glory for me." ”

"What kind of light? My sister can't go to the battlefield again. Linglong Shuangshu glared angrily at her brother with big lungs.

"It's not this, I mean," Shang Qi glanced at Su Xiaoniang's bulging belly, and then looked at Linglong Shuangshu's belly, and said dissatisfiedly: "I'm in a hurry, you have to hurry up and let me be my uncle!" ”

"Poof!" At the head of the city, the beauties covered their mouths and smiled, but Linglong Shuangshu was embarrassed, her face was red, and her hands and feet were used to vent their anger on Shang Qi.

At the end of the ceremony, the celebratory crowd gradually dissipated, and the ladies began to withdraw to the General's Palace. On the way, they encountered an incident of bullying men and 'women'.

An unkempt lady slammed into the ranks of the guards in a panic, shouting for help as she screamed for help and was distressing, and several vicious thugs followed from the market, still holding wooden sticks.

Pei Xiaoniang rode a war horse, so she was closest to the strange little girl.

"Sister, don't be afraid, tell me something." Pei Xiaoniang got off the war horse and comforted the panicked intruder.

"Who are you? Isn't the 'woman' who robs the people in broad daylight afraid of the law? Shui Rouer was mighty and drove her horse in front of the chasing thugs.

The thugs were stunned for a moment, obviously seeing the identities of Shui Rouer and others. The little leader who took the lead said with a smiling face: "We are serious businessmen, and we definitely don't break the law." ”

"And what's the matter with her?" Shui Rouer pointed to the poor little lady and looked at the villains with disgust.

The little boss said: "Her name is Xiao Lian, she was bought by my master from Datang, today she actually took advantage of our inattention to escape, ran into the ladies, and asked the ladies not to blame, after going back, we will discipline her strictly." ”

"He, he! They tricked me here from Datang, and they wanted to sell me. The little lady who was called Xiao Pian weakly denied it.

Pei Xiaoniang's beautiful eyes glared angrily, and she said coquettishly: "The villain has lost his conscience!" Someone came, tied them up for me and sent them to the 'gate' of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. ”

"No, it's not," the little leader stammered, took out a deed of sale from his bosom, and explained, "This is a voluntary pledge signed by Little Mercy, and we paid for it to her family." ”

Shui Rou'er took the white paper in the little leader's hand, frowned and glanced at it, and tore it to pieces.

"People, I'm going to decide, the money, I'll give it back to you!" Shui Rou'er took out a bag of Ningyuan silver coins and threw it to the little boss, resolving the dispute domineeringly.

The rescued little lady is called Chu Xiaolian, as her name suggests, she looks delicate and pitiful, and after her messy hair is straightened out, she 'reveals' her beautiful facial features, and directly petrified Shang Qi on the side, and his eyes fell into a state of 'confusion'.

Su Xiaoniang, who came to see the excitement, was also shocked by Chu Xiaolian's beauty, and said quietly: "Sister Ruoxi, be careful, don't be cocooned." ”

Pei Xiaoniang also understands that this rescue, it is estimated that most of them will find one more competitor for themselves, and I feel sorry for this Chu Xiaopian, not to mention the Li Lang who does not hide his good 'lust'.

Su Xiaoniang saw Pei Ruoxi's embarrassment, and said: "Xiao Lian's life experience is very pitiful, I don't think it's better to send her a sum of money to entangle and let Shang San Lang's caravan escort her back to Datang to reunite with her relatives." ”

Of course, Shang Qi was willing, and he agreed in a panic: "Okay, okay, I'll escort you personally!" ”

When Xiao Lian heard this, she immediately lowered her head and sobbed.

"What's wrong?" The kind-hearted Pei Xiaoniang is extremely compassionate.

"Xiao Lian is homeless, it was my adoptive mother who sold me, go back, she will return, and she will ...... Madam, you can take in Little Mercy and let Little Mercy serve you, okay? Maybe it was a word of pity, Chu Xiaomian's expression looked really pitiful, and Pei Xiaoniang's sour tears were about to pour out.

"This ...... All right. Pei Xiaoniang is still too soft-hearted.

"Hey, I want one more little sister." Su Xiaoniang shook her head and smiled bitterly.

Pei Xiaoniang said embarrassedly: "Sister Zizi, don't blame, Xiao Pian is helpless, I can't die without help." ”

The well-behaved little pity was afraid of change, knelt down on his knees, and opened his mouth to recognize the master, because he was "excited" and cried pear "flowers" with rain.

"That's it, you can follow me in the future." Pei Xiaoniang sighed.

Chu Xiaolian burst into tears and laughed, and hurriedly thanked him.

Since seeing Chu Xiaolian, Shang Qi began to lose his soul again, and surrounded Xiao Lian'er like a fly.

"Whoever bullies you in the future, just tell me, I'll stand up for you... What the? Unbelief? Look at this scimitar, you know? This is a Turgish weapon, and I have captured it, oh, I forgot to tell you that I accidentally took out three Turgish......"

Shang Ren, who followed behind him, expressed his dissatisfaction with belly slander, and Shang Qi shamelessly snatched half of the credit that should belong to him.

For the entanglement, Chu Xiaolian has been silent, when passing by the central square of Ningyuan City, Chu Xiaolian glanced at the stone statue standing on the square, and suddenly couldn't help but whisper: "Why don't you have a little heroism?" ”

Shang Qi thought that the little beauty was disgusting him, so he immediately raised his head and said angrily: "Why not?" Introverted, hidden but not hairy, a blockbuster! Got it? You'll find out later that the stakes are very high. ”

Chu Xiaolian avoided Shang Qi in disgust and clinged to the side of Pei Xiaoniang's war horse.

"Madam, why isn't this stone statue carved into a military costume?" Xiao Lian asked, pointing to the tall figure carvings in the square.

"Uniform? Why do you need to wear it? Pei Xiaoniang looked at the statue of Master Lu with a complicated look, her heart was very entangled, this Ningyuan City belonged to his husband, and it stands to reason that the statue in the center of the city should be his husband, but I don't know why her Li Lang gave this great honor to a craftsman. This is a unique thing in the history of the Tang Dynasty and even the Central Plains, and it will inevitably be ridiculed and criticized by readers all over the world. To be honest, she would rather see the statue of Ailang here, which is her pride. However, has this become a stone of hope? Thinking of this, Pei Xiaoniang couldn't help but smile tenderly.

Isn't it funny? How pathetic! Chu Xiaolian looked at Pei Xiaoniang sympathetically, such a little beauty, in the prime of her cardamom years, like a budding 'flower' waiting to be released, but married such a bad old man......

In front of the big 'gate' of the barracks, Li Zhongxin was unexpectedly surprised to find Ata, the instructor of the wolf's fang.

Atta's eyes were full of grief and anxiety. After a detailed discussion, Li Zhongxin learned that in the past year, Atta had experienced hardships and dangers in the Great Food Territory, and Ah Duo and Eta had died under the pursuit of the Holy Lord and other betrayal forces, and in the end, he had only persuaded a dozen of his old subordinates to abandon the Holy Lord and come to Li Huaitang.

At the same time, Atta also brought back extremely important information. In the past year, the Great Food Country has undergone earth-shaking changes, and Abbasid has taken advantage of the opportunity of the conquest of Ningyuan City to frantically recruit troops, and his call is very incendiary: the divine authority of kings, the unity of church and state. Declare 'desire' to establish Allah's rule on the earth.

There was no shortage of fanatics in the Great Food Country, and if they were dry firewood, then the Abbasids were the torchbearers, lighting the fires. Religious fanatics from all over the Great Food Kingdom joined in and gathered under his command, and Khorasan fell under his control from the beginning as the Governor Ashidullah was defeated by the Turgish at the city of Qishi. Damascus was far away from Khorasan, and by the time the caliph understood the general situation, the Abbasids were well fledged, and the two sides were evenly matched.

However, the Abbasids' methods did not stop there, and while receiving the assets of the governor of Khorasan, the Holy Lord naturally fell into his eagle dog, and with his support, the power of the Holy Lord soared, and Atta originally planned to 'expose' the ugly face of the Holy Lord, and recruit his subordinates to follow him back to Shan's command, but unfortunately the success fell short, and he was betrayed by traitors, which attracted the siege of the Holy Lord. Ator and Etta were killed in battle, and the remaining loyal retinue went into hiding with him, while they took refuge in Damascus, only to find that the Holy Lord had succeeded in assassinating the Great Caliph, creating extremely favorable conditions for the Abbasids.

Atta realized that it was not good, once the Abbasids were allowed to unify the Great Eclipse, Ningyuan City would face a powerful enemy, Ningyuan City was his reliance, his lair 'nest', the skin did not exist, and the 'Mao' would be attached? He hurriedly crossed the blockade line, came back from the bloody killing, and brought the news to Li Huaitang so that he could be prepared.

The stakes are very high, how dare Li Zhongxin slack off, and went to see Shan with Atta at the moment, and in the evening, he lit up the 'elite' wolf tooth war horse and Atta to pursue the general. Please keep in mind the URL, if you like "War Owl in Tang" written by the wolf under the moon
