Chapter 153: Sixty Birthdays

Xiao Li stood up, looked at the fine works behind Wen Cang, and then said treacherously: "Okay, I'll give you two cells, but if you get benefits, Deputy Commander Wen won't forget me." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Wen Cang smiled, patted Xiao Li's shoulder and said, "Why should Lord Xiao worry about such a trivial matter?" The credit is yours. ”

Xiao Li nodded with satisfaction and said, "Deputy Commander Wen is happy enough!" ”

"But for the sake of safety, I have to arrange for my people to take care of these details, so as not to have an accident and implicate Lord Xiao, then I can't worry about it."

"That's fine." Xiao Li agreed, and then ordered: "Come on, lock up this bullshit for Lao Tzu!" Close the innermost two! ”

"Yes!"

"Deputy Commander Wen, come on, come early, it's better to come early, let's have a drink together?" Xiao Li pointed to the wine on the table.

Wen Cang smiled slightly, and pushed back: "I still have official business, I will have two drinks with Master Xiao another day and say goodbye!" ”

"Okay! That wine another day! Deputy Commander Wen walks slowly, I won't send it! Xiao Li had an obscene face, and waved his hand to Wen Cang with a smile.

The night was late, on the grassland after the spring snow, the night was particularly cold, Shi Min and others followed the footsteps of the Huns, all the way north into the grassland, always maintaining a certain distance, not daring to get too close.

"Major General, we've been following for almost a day, when will we start?" Zhang Mufeng asked in a low voice.

Shi Min lay behind the stone, looked at the bonfire in the Huns' temporary camp from a distance, and did not answer Zhang Mufeng's question, but asked in a low voice: "Mufeng, have you killed a wolf?" ”

"Huh?" Zhang Mufeng was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No ......"

"These Huns in front of you are a wolf, the wolf is a fierce and cunning and intelligent animal, if you want to kill it, it wants to kill you even more." Shi Min said, turned around and leaned against the stone, took out the wine bag from his waist and took a sip of wine, handed it to Zhang Mufeng, and then said: "If you want to kill it, you must not be in a hurry, you have to see the opportunity, and when it shows its flaws, you will not hesitate to shoot, and you must kill it with one blow!" ”

Zhang Mufeng took a sip of wine and nodded as if he didn't understand: "I seem to understand a little." ”

"The Huns have just come out of the customs and grabbed so many things from the clouds, and they are more vigilant at the moment, don't believe it! Are there still people patrolling around the camp? ”

Zhang Mufeng climbed behind the big rock, looked at it carefully, and said, "That's right, there are indeed people." ”

"After two days, they will go deep into the grassland, the farther away from Yanmen Pass, the more they will feel safe, at that time, they will not be so heavily defensive, we can take them by surprise in this situation."

"The Major General has a point." Zhang Mufeng nodded and returned the wine bag to Shi Min.

"Let's go! Let's go back, don't let General Xue Zan and them wait. Shi Min said, and climbed up gently.

Zhang Mufeng hurriedly followed, and the two stepped on their horses and left at nightfall.

Early the next morning, Hongguang Pavilion was extremely busy, today was Shi Hu's 60th birthday, Lu An took all the attendants in Hongguang Pavilion to Shi Hu, and Shi Hu was naturally very happy.

According to the usual practice, the court was suspended this morning, and after the end of the day, Shi Hu summoned the hundred officials at the ceremony, accepted the congratulations of the hundred officials, and then set up a banquet in the main hall to drink and have fun.

"Your Majesty, the concubine is here." A little eunuch ran in to give a report.

Shi Hu was wearing new clothes under Lu An's service, and said without looking back: "Let her in." ”

"Yes......"

After a while, Concubine Liu Guifei walked in in a gorgeous outfit, and when she saw Shi Hu, she knelt down and saluted: "Concubine to Your Majesty, I wish Your Majesty a long life." ”

"Hurry up, hurry up!" Shi Hu looked at Concubine Liu and said, "Concubine Ai is so beautiful today, it's really refreshing." ”

Concubine Liu Guifei smiled a little shyly and said, "Today's birthday of Your Majesty is celebrated by the whole world, and of course the concubines will be touched by Your Majesty's joy." ”

Shi Hu had already tidied up his appearance, walked to Liu Guifei's side, pinched Liu Guifei's face affectionately, and said, "Concubine Ai's little mouth is still so sweet. ”

"What the concubine said is the truth, Your Majesty is in good spirits today, it's like being twenty years younger, I don't believe you ask these minions!" Liu Guifei pointed at Lu An and the others.

Lu An hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is majestic and heroic, and he is in the prime of life. ”

"Even you kid has learned to pat on the back! Well? Although Shi Hu knew that Lu An was flattering him, but for some reason, he was very comfortable listening to this today, and then said: "In a while, you will go to the inner mansion to receive twenty taels of silver, and I will be happy today and reward you." ”

Lu An hurriedly knelt down and thanked him: "Thank you, Your Majesty for your grace." ”

Shi Hu pulled Liu Guifei and said, "Concubine Ai, come here and talk to me, I haven't summoned you in the past few days, are you scolding me in my heart again?" ”

"Where are the concubines? His Majesty is worried about state affairs and worries about the war on the front line, and the concubines know. ”

As soon as Shi Hu heard about the battle, his brows couldn't help frowning, and he said, "Xiao Min's men and horses have been on set off for several days, and I don't know what the situation is. ”

"Why isn't Your Majesty worried about His Royal Highness King Qing? In this war with the Huns, Shi Min's child is not the only one who has contributed, His Royal Highness King Qing is still your own son. Liu Guifei was a little upset for Shi Zun.

"Lao Jiu has been on the battlefield for a long time, so I don't need to worry too much, but Xiao Min, this kid, is fighting on the battlefield for the first time, how can I not be anxious and worried?"

"The concubine thinks that you are too good to Xihuahou and his son, no matter how great the credit of Xihuahou is, after all, it is not your biological son, after a long time, if you are pampered and arrogant and support the army, it will not be good."

Shi Hu shook his hand and said with a smile: "Concubine Ai is too worried, Zhan'er has grown up by my side since he was a child, what kind of temperament and character he has, I know very well, he is definitely not the kind of person you said." ”

Liu Guifei saw that Shi Hu trusted Shi Zhan so much, so it was inconvenient to say anything, and if she continued, I was afraid that Shi Hu would suspect that she had any intentions.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Yan has brought Lord Liang to greet Your Majesty." The little eunuch ran in again to report it.

As soon as Shi Hu heard that Lord Liang was coming, his eyes immediately lit up, and he hurriedly ordered, "Let them come in." ”

Liu Guifei looked at Shi Hu's happy appearance, she didn't say anything, but she was very unhappy in her heart.

"Sons and daughters, please greet my father, may my father be as blessed as the East China Sea, and live longer than Nanshan!" After King Yan and Lord Liang came in, they knelt down to Shi Hu and said goodbye.

Shi Hu saw that the county lord of Liang was a little excited, and he had no choice but to take care of Shi Shi beside him, so he pretended to be calm and ordered: "Get up, you two will also come to greet me so early today, you have a heart." ”

"Your Majesty, don't you know, before dawn today, His Royal Highness urged his niece to get up, saying that he was the first to come to his father to say goodbye, but I didn't expect the concubine to come one step ahead of us." Lord Liang said, glancing at Concubine Liu.

Concubine Liu glanced at Lord Liang and ignored it.

"Second child, you are more positive this year than in previous years." Shi Hu glanced at Shi Shi and said lightly.

"In fact, the county lord has been urging his sons not to be lazy, not long ago, his father grounded his sons in the house, and his sons also reflected a lot, thinking about it carefully, it must be that the sons and daughters are not good enough to deal with people, and they are not filial enough to their fathers, so they were taken advantage of by thieves and framed their sons."

"Your consciousness is quite high, don't be bored in your Yanwang Mansion and get together with those poor literati in your Yanwang Mansion, and walk around with Zhan'er to lead troops to fight, and learn to learn. My world is fought out, not by the mouths of those poor and sour literati, this may require you to lead troops to fight in the future, if you are like this, won't you have to pee your pants on the battlefield? Shi Hu said in a slightly reproachful tone.

Shi Shi was a little overwhelmed by Shi Hu's words, and Lord Liang hurriedly came out to relieve the siege, and said: "Your Majesty, the so-called nine sons of Longsheng are different, although Your Highness has not inherited Your Majesty's courage and good fighting, but you have also inherited Your Majesty's other qualities." ”

"Oh? What qualities? Shi Hu was very interested in Lord Liang's words.

"The so-called fair lady, the gentleman is good, Your Majesty and Your Highness love beautiful women. You see, Your Majesty dotes on the noble concubine, and Your Highness only loves me. ”

After Lord Liang finished speaking, Shi Hu laughed out loud, obviously amused by Lord Liang's funny remarks, and said, "You are a flamboyant ghost!" The second child is blessed to marry you, if he dares to treat you badly, you tell me, I will clean him up! ”

"Father, rest assured, the sons and daughters must take good care of the county lord." Shi Shi on the side said with some embarrassment.

"If you know, it's good." Shi Hu glanced at Shi Shi.

"Your Majesty, the concubine sees that the time is almost up, should we go to the main hall? I'm afraid the officials are already waiting. Liu Guifei couldn't stand the two singing and harmonizing in front of Shi Hu, so she reminded next to Shi Hu.

Shi Hu turned his head and glanced at Liu Guifei, nodded slightly, and then asked Lu An, who was standing not far away, "Lu An, what time is it?" ”

Lu An bowed his head and said respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, the time is almost over." ”

Shi Hu patted his thigh, stood up, and said, "Let's go, let's go to the main hall." ”
