As soon as Anicee stood still, he saw Wang Zhengjian coming over, and said, "The last general will see His Royal Highness the county lord!" ”

After Wang Zheng saw that he bowed down, the civil and military officials of the Beiting behind him all knelt on the ground.

When everyone was kneeling, Anicee caught a glimpse of Xiao Langjun, who was standing at the end of the crowd and was slowly about to kneel, and her dark eyes made her happy.

Beside Xiao Langjun, Anicee also saw a little lady in a red fur and a little girl ring who was somewhat familiar. But she couldn't remember where she had seen this little girl for a while......

Without waiting for Mi Wei to translate, Anicee hurriedly stepped forward to help Wang Zhengjian, and then learned the customs of the little lady of the Han family and made a decent bow.

On the thousand-mile journey from Chang'an to Tingzhou, in addition to learning Tang dialect, Ainise also seized the time to learn some Han etiquette.

However, etiquette is easy to learn, and Tang dialect is difficult to understand. After Anicee picked up Wang Zhengjian, he said softly in the big food language, "General Wang, thank you for saving me in Broken Leaf City. If it weren't for you, I would never have been able to reach Chang'an, let alone see you again. ”

After listening to Mi Wei's translation, Wang Zhengjian replied: "Your Highness is serious! The county lord traveled thousands of miles to the east, and encountered many dangers and obstacles along the way before he was able to meet the saint, which is really singing and crying, which is admirable! It's just a meeting in broken leaves, and he doesn't dare to be greedy for heaven. Today, the county lord is even more for the expedition, regardless of the carriage and horses to come to Tingzhou, Beiting up and down, all grateful! As the lord of the county, he should have set up a palace for living. However, the saint and the political hall have a purpose, and the county lord's trip should not be publicized. Therefore, he can only grieve His Highness to temporarily live in the inner house of the capital protection mansion. A certain person has ordered someone to clean up a little, but please Your Highness not to be disgusted with the cold room. ”

Wang Zhengjian's tirade, with the level of Anice's Tang dialect, is naturally unclear and incomprehensible. After listening to Mi Wei's translation, Anicee hurriedly waved his hand and said, "The war is urgent, and everything is important to send troops as soon as possible. I can live there, General Wang, don't bother about it. Let's talk about the expedition as soon as possible. ”

Wang Zhengjian heard the anxiety in Anice's words, and hurriedly returned: "Don't worry, county lord. Since receiving the edict of the sage, the people in the north court have already been vigorously armed, and the expedition has been prepared. When the county lord first arrived in Tingzhou City, he might as well rest for a few days and then come to explain the matter of the big food to the monarchs of the North Court. Is it possible to arrange this way? ”

Anicee hurriedly shook his hand: "I'm not tired, I don't need to rest, I can do it today!" ”

"I know that the county lord is anxious, but I am tired of the county lord, and I can't explain it to the saint!" Wang Zhengjian politely rejected Anice's proposal and said, "However, since the county lord is so enthusiastic, please come to the Qianyajie Hall tomorrow to explain the matter of the Great Food Country to the north court." ”

After hearing Wang Zhengjian's proposal, Anicee also understood that he was too anxious just now, so he no longer insisted, and nodded in agreement with Wang Zhengjian's arrangement.

Seeing that Anicee had followed the advice, Wang Zhengjian continued: "The expedition of the army is busy, and it is impossible to accomplish it overnight. His Royal Highness the County Lord may need to stay in Tingzhou City for some time. If the county lord is bored, he might as well communicate with the dog girl and the little ladies who protect the family. ”

After Wang Zheng finished speaking, Anicee saw the three little ladies in white, green and red, who had just been noticed, come forward and saluted her together.

After Anicee returned the gift, he listened to Wang Zhengjian introduce the three little ladies one by one. The name of the white fur is Ashina Xiaoyun, and she is the eldest daughter of Ashina's deputy protector; Dressed in green clothes is Ashina Yang's second daughter Wenxia; Wearing a red fur is Wang Zhengjian's daughter Wang Fei.

After seeing the three little ladies, Anicee asked knowingly, "General Wang, where is the little Langjun I saw in Broken Leaf City?" How is he doing? ”

"Thank you Lord for worrying about the dog!" Wang Zhengjian waved when he changed his hand, and then said: "If the county lord doesn't dislike it, you can also call the dog to chat with you." He's particularly interested in the Great Food Country! ”

Anicee nodded lightly and said with a smile, "It will definitely be!" ”

At this time, Xiao Langjun had already bowed and stood up. Anicee bowed to him and exhaled like a land: "Xiao Langjun, meet again!" ”

In Chengnan City, Tingzhou, Su Sanniang, who was dressed in purple, sat on the window of the private room on the second floor of Ruyi Ju, raised a glass of wine, and smiled and chatted with Luo Puli, who was dressed in white.

Suddenly, Su Sanniang put down the glass cup, grabbed the long sword beside her, and stared at the bustling flow of people outside the window.

Tong Luo Puli also hurriedly pulled out the scimitar and asked, "Thirteen Niang, what's wrong?" ”

Su Sanniang shook her head, put down her long sword, and said suspiciously: "I just felt a little murderous, but it disappeared quickly. Maybe I'm wrong. ”

Tong Luo Puli Gege smiled: "Thirteen Niang's vigilance is really high, no wonder she can kill my four subordinates by herself." ”

Su Sanniang feigned anger and said: "Pu Li Niang, you are still thinking about this matter!" There's no end to it! ”

Tong Luo Puli hurriedly picked up the wine glass, took a shallow sip, and said with a smile: "Sister, it's my sister who doesn't choose what to say, and if she says the wrong thing, she will punish herself, how about it?" ”

"One bite is enough! You have to drink a big glass anyway! "Su Sanniang is unrelenting.

"A big cup is a big cup, when have we ever been afraid of drinking with the sons and daughters of Luobu? I'm just worried that before they arrive, I'll be drinking this jar of wine alone! After saying goodbye to Luo Puli, she drank the rouge wine in the cup.

"Speaking of which, why are these people so slow today? Didn't you stumble over something? Su Sanniang was also full of questions.

"Isn't my sister worried about someone?" With Luo Puli's wine entrance, his cheeks were suddenly better than peach blossoms, and he spoke presumptuously.

"I'll tear your mouth apart!" Su Sanniang chirped.

"Haha, I was told by my sister! My sister is in a hurry! "Dancing with Luo Puli, I couldn't be happier.

"I knew you were such a crazy hoof, I wouldn't have said good things for you that day, and let you be imprisoned in the prison and bitten by rats!" Su Sanniang said hatefully, picked up the chopsticks and knocked them at Tong Luo Puli.

"Sister, I've never been afraid of rats since I was a child!" The hippie smiling Tong Luo Puli was not slow to react, and hurriedly grabbed a pair of chopsticks to block Su Sanniang's attack.

"Could it be that we have to compete again today? Not afraid of losing to me again? "Su Sanniang is very confident.

"It's better than that, when have I been afraid of you with Luo Puli!"

"And who begged for mercy yesterday?" Su Sanniang laughed.

"You cheated yesterday, it doesn't count!" With Luo Puli without backing down.

"Soldiers don't get tired of cheating, look at the moves!"

In the richly decorated private room, two figures, one purple and one white, are holding wooden chopsticks together, like colorful butterflies dancing in the air.

Between the two of you, you went back and forth, up and down, and some dishes were still touched and fell on the thick Persian carpet.

At the door of Ruyiju, a few young men were looking at Wen Xitang, who was seized opposite, and were very happy. Although Wenxitang has been sealed by the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate for several days, the young men of Ruyiju still like to glance twice a day to relieve the hatred in their hearts.

While the young men were chatting about Wen Xitang's sins, they suddenly heard someone ask, "Is there a private room?" ”

The young man looked up and was asked a round Sogdian merchant, followed by a bearded Sogdian youth and six or seven warriors with scimitars. The scimitars had slender sheaths and were decorated with beautiful patterns.

"Yes, there are a lot of private rooms! Guest upstairs please! The young man led the guest up courteously: "I don't know what wine the guest ordered?" Is it the wine of Gaochang, or the Jiannan Roast Spring of Yizhou? ”

"You don't need any wine, just have some three pulp!" The Sogdian merchant was strange and did not seem to like the contents of the cup at all.

When I went up to the second floor, I passed the door of a private room, and there seemed to be a faint sound of something falling on the carpet.

The warriors behind the Sogdian merchants immediately quickly stretched out their hands to the scimitars on their waists, and the young man hurriedly persuaded with a smile on his face: "Guest officer, don't be nervous, this is our shopkeeper's friends playing around." ”

The Sogdian merchant hesitated for a moment, then asked for the opinion of a warrior behind him, and when he saw him nodding, he said, "It's okay, just find a private room far away from here." ”

"Great!" The young man hurried up to lead the way.

In the private room, Su Sanniang frowned slightly, hesitated, and moved a little.

Tong Luo Puli immediately picked up a vacancy, and the chopsticks stabbed sharply, straight at Su Sanniang's wrist.

Su Sanniang's wrist turned sharply, waved her chopsticks to push away the attack with Luo Puli, and said in a low voice: "I felt murderous again just now, but it was soon gone, it's really strange." ”

Tong Luo Puli stopped, recalled, and said uncertainly: "It was really a little wrong just now......

Su Sanniang thought about it, but still pushed the door out, beckoned a young man to come over, and asked him if there was anything unusual just now.

"Nothing out of the ordinary!" The young man scratched his head, thought for a while, and then said, "Oh, just now there was a round Sogdian merchant, followed by several warriors, who went to eat in a private room over there. ”

Su Sanniang suddenly realized that there were masters in the personal guards of Sogdian merchants, so from time to time there was murderous spirit and war intent.

"I hope this Sogdian merchant won't make trouble in Tingzhou City, the three-foot Qingfeng in charge of my palm is not a vegetarian!" Su Sanniang thought secretly in her heart.

At the small south gate of the inner city of Tingzhou, the silver armor was in parallel with Du Huan, who was in civilian clothes, and said something in a low voice.

At first, Ma Lan's expression was very solemn, and after Du Huan smiled and persuaded a few words, his eyebrows gradually relaxed.

Behind the two of them are the two generals of Beiting, Wang Yong and Li Dingbang. The two have a pair or not, and they seem to be communicating about the upcoming expedition to the west.

Behind Wang Yong and Li Dingbang are the three sisters and brothers of Ashina, Wang Fei and Wang Fei.

Xiao Langjun and the little ladies were followed by a carriage. In the car, there were several little Langjun and the little lady's personal rings, and Ayi Tenggena was also among them. More than a dozen domestic servants followed the carriage.

More than 40 tooth soldiers, wearing light armor, holding long lances, carrying horizontal swords, and riding bows on their backs, guarded the front and rear of the team.

After the turmoil at the polo field, the frightened deputy Chen suggested to Wang Yong that when the Beiting Tooth Soldiers escorted Xiao Langjun and the little lady to travel in the future, they should wear heavy armor, bring a horse lance, and prepare more bows and arrows, so as not to be caught off guard again.

After careful consideration, Wang Yong still reported the suggestion of Deputy Chen and asked Wang Zheng to make a decision.

After thinking for a while, Wang Zhengjian told Wang Yong that there was no need to wear heavy armor in the city, so as not to be too ostentatious and cause panic; If you go out of the city to hunt and play, including Xiao Langjun and others, you must be fully armed.

After attending the meeting ceremony between the high-ranking officials of the North Court and the county lord of Huaiyuan, Ma Lan had just handed over the horse lance and the newly acquired day-by-day longbow from the arsenal of the military department to his subordinates, and asked the tooth soldiers to help send them back to the room to put them away. Dressed in armor, he was quietly pulled over by Wang Yong and Du Huan, saying that he wanted to go to Ruyiju in Nanshi to drink together, and by the way, he met two female rangers.

The sharp-eyed Ashina Xiaoyun caught a glimpse of Wang Yong and Du Huan's sneaky behavior, and immediately leaned over and said that he wanted to go together.

Originally, Du Huan was unwilling, but Ashina Wenxia came to hear the news and asked how they could drink with the master and not take the apprentice there?

When Du Huanzheng didn't know how to deal with the Ashina sisters' nonsense, Wang Fei came to join in the fun, saying that if he didn't take them there, he would tell his father Wang Zhengjian, saying that Judge Du was slacking off on government affairs and sneaking out of the official office to drink.

Although they knew that Wang Fei's "threat" was just nonsense, they were troubled by the quarrel of a few little guys, and Du Huan and Wang Yong had no choice but to agree to take them with them.

The three sisters and brothers of the Ashina family are going, so it is not good to leave Li Dingbang. So, what was supposed to be a drink turned into a feast in the blink of an eye. Fortunately, Ruyi is rich and wealthy, and he doesn't care about inviting a few more little Langjun and little ladies to have a meal.

Just now from the east gate to the official office of the Metropolitan Protectorate, the three Ashina sisters and brothers all rode horses. Therefore, when she set off for Nanshi, Ashina Xiaoyun pulled Wang Fei and asked her to ride a horse together. Wang Fei had no choice but to let someone bring Qingyu Cheng and ride with the Ashina sisters.

The careful Wang Fei still asked the servants to arrange a wide and gorgeous carriage for Ayi Tenggana and the accompanying little maids to sit.

So, there was such a strange scene in the procession, the little ladies rode their horses, but the maids sat in the carriage. The identities of the two sides seem to be reversed.

However, in the open Tang Dynasty, such strange things are not uncommon. Don't you hear that the concubine's sister, Mrs. Qiuguo, is also often plain and rides unscrupulously.

The lively procession happily marched all the way south. The mounts of Xiao Langjun and the little ladies have been nailed with hard shoes, and they are striking on the solid road surface, like crisp raindrops, which is particularly pleasant.

The young spies from the west, the immature princess from the east, the smart county lord who stooped to be a slave, and the Tang Xiaolangjun who crossed over, under the impetus of fate, gathered again in Tingzhou City by the Suye water. And this reunion is just to play the prelude to a new big war.

War after war has changed the fate of countless people, tempering the teenagers of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty and forging them into hundreds of refined steel to meet the coming storm.
