Chapter Seventy-Three: The White Qilin's Way Out

The Prime Minister's Mansion was built in the south of the Shu capital, echoing the royal palace in the north of the city, with only a long road facing east and west, which was far from most of the cities in the Central Plains. In fact, before Zhang Yi established the CD, the entire Shu did not even have a city wall.

Shu is similar to a tribal federation, a bit similar to the Greek city-states, whether it is Emperor Silkworm Cong or Du Yu, they are all step by step to integrate the tribes and establish the ancient Shu regime. Even during the period of Emperor Silkworm Cong in the Xia Dynasty, he was still just a tribal patriarch known as the emperor.

This is the Xiangfu built by the enlightened Lu specially for Tho, and the Wangfei Tower, the Qibao Building at the same time, magnificent, enough to have one-third of the size of the palace, it can be said that the grace is extremely thick. And all this is in recognition of his merits - to offer beauties, slander the construction of the two floors of the princess and the seven treasures, and eradicate those who oppose the construction of luxurious buildings.

Enlightened Lu is such a mediocre king, he does have the ambition to win the party in his head, but this kid's IQ is really worrying! Later, he actually drove the soldiers to the border of Qin and wrote a letter, which basically meant: I want to parade troops on your border, if you want to come, you can come, if you don't want to come, forget it!

He himself may feel domineering, but he is just a pediatrician, but he didn't expect that King Huiwen would really endure the humiliation and burden, see his belongings clearly, and lay the groundwork for his future destruction.

If Yuan Shao is indecisive and Yuan Shuzhi is talented, then they at least have the ability to win over famous families; said that Song Xianggong was benevolent to the woman, and Zhixiangzi was defeated because of time, but they at least had a prestige. On the other hand, our enlightened king, pro-Yu Yuanxian, pampered the enchantress, reused the enemy's ministers, ignored political affairs, and was arrogant...... It seems that all the words that can describe the faint king can be used in his place.

And the reuse of Shu hostages is enough to make everyone laugh off their big teeth. If this matter is put in the Central Plains, it will become the laughing stock of all princes, and even small countries such as Song and Wei can laugh at it.

“…… There is a negative state under the subordinates, and the crime deserves death, please punish the state! ”

In the hall, the sound of chimes is melodious and melodious. Tho Fu closed his eyes and raised his head, as if waiting for the white unicorn's report. After he had finished telling everything that had happened to him, he asked, "Gone?" ”

"Back to Xiangbang, it's gone." Bai Qilin arched his hand slightly, but the expression on his face was slightly unhappy.

As a native of Guanzhong, that is, the so-called Lao Qin people, he was unwilling to stay in the small country of Shu; Now that the Qin State is rising, judging things by his military exploits, others don't even let him enter the military camp like this, thinking that he is a tuberculosis ghost, don't drag down the national strength that the Qin State has finally dragged up.

There is no place for a good knife, and the white unicorn can only be committed to the Shu State, which is adjacent to the Qin State, and was favored by the former enlightened king, which is why he has today's identity.

But I didn't expect that now I would be a lackey of Tho.

Loyalty to Tho Fu is a helpless move, this guy covers the sky with one hand, most of the people in the dynasty have become his cronies, the enlightened king does not care about political affairs, he has become the first person in the strict sense of Shu, which can't not let Bai Qilin bow his head.

Tho Fu scratched his ears very leisurely, and said in a soft voice: "Pi is killed, the Di tribe is preserved, the Qiang tribe is destroyed, and there is not a single one of the five hundred elites left...... Hehe, Bai Junhou, what a good fight! ”

Bai Qilin bowed his head: "If it weren't for the sudden flood discharge of the Minjiang River, we would ...... it."

"Enough, needless to say, the old man has his own measure!" Tho Fu waved his hand, signaled Bai Qilin to shut up, and said after a little thought: "If it is according to the law of the country, you, the general of the defeated army, will be killed by yourself, with the heart of the army!" But the old man sees that you are talented, and he is loyal to the old man...... The old man is reluctant to use the knife! ”

Bai Qilin buried his head lower and lower, not wanting the old guy to see his expression, after all, his loyalty was pretended, and pretending made him feel particularly disgusting.

As for how disgusting, you can refer to Comrade Goujian, King Yue, that must be cheap enough!

Tho Fu did not need to report the matter to Kaiminglu, because there was no need, he had no interest in the victory or defeat of the battle; And Pi hit to death, and there will be one less trouble in the future.

It's just that...... He is unwilling, why did he send troops to the river and there was a big flood, there is such a coincidence in this world?

"How did Du Hongchuan's man solve it?" Tho Fu suddenly remembered this, and frowned slightly, "If I remember correctly, I gave you a death order!" ”

Bai Qilin's heart trembled, and he hurriedly lowered his head to disguise his horror, and said, "Xiangbang's life, I dare not forget it...... When the flood came, Du Hongchuan was washed into the water, and it should be ...... He's dead! ”

"Don't guess, old man, old man must be based on real evidence!" Tho Fu snorted coldly, "That's it, your departure this time is unfavorable, and the task has not been completed, so I will send you to the Bashu border to supervise the army, when will you find Du Hongchuan's body in the Minjiang River, and when will you come back!" ”

"This ......"

"Are you dissatisfied?"

"Subordinate...... Subordinates dare not ...... Promise! The lower official retired ......"

There is no specific location on the border of Bashu, after all, the border between the two countries has been in constant conflict for a hundred years, and the border is constantly changing. However, most of the places where these two countries meet are seedling fields, and plague, snakes, and scorpions are indispensable, not to mention poisonous springs and miasma forests, which are not unusual.

Who the wants to go to a place where birds can be scared out of?

After Tho Fu issued this order, he didn't talk to Bai Qilin, even though he was a military marquis, life and death were also in his applause, and he didn't care about it. Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he called the white unicorn who had already walked to the door.

Bai Qilin was already scolding his mother in his heart, but he still said indifferently: "What else does Xiangbang command?" ”

"I remember...... You have family, right? ”

"Yes, there is only one son and one wife...... Bai Qilin was suddenly shocked in his heart.

"That's right, the border of Bashu is very remote, don't bring your family, stay in Shudu!"

Dog X's Tho, I'll fucking dig your ancestral grave!

How can the white unicorn not understand the purpose of this? He is from Qin, what if he escapes without leaving a hostage roll? Tho Fu was not old and confused, he actually remembered this before leaving!

"No!"

The promise was loud and powerful, but it failed to roar out all the anger in his heart.

That night, in the house of the white unicorn.

The village where Bai Qilin's family lives is extremely simple, about fifteen square meters, but it is equipped with various kinds of furniture. You must know that he is a dignified military marquis, commanding the whole country with the military guard, such a big official, he actually lives in such a simple house?

Fortunately, Bai Qilin lives in the military camp on weekdays, otherwise how can a family of three sleep in such a small room?

"Huh? How did you get back today? ”

His wife, Gongsun Yue, was washing the bowl that had just been eaten, and his son Bai Kang was still an eight-year-old boy, who was nesting by the stove and looking at the bamboo slips written by his mother's handwriting. But it wasn't his father he wanted to hold, it was the sword at his waist.

Bai Qilin smiled bitterly, took off the saber and threw it to his son to play.

Bai Kang has liked to fiddle with the armor and blades of the white unicorn since he was a child, and he also likes to read military books in his spare time. This made Bai Qilin very pleasantly surprised, if his son becomes a general in the future, it will be infinitely beautiful!

Gongsun Yue came up with a bowl of water, and she looked tired with sweat on her face, but it was still difficult to hide her mature charm. After all, she was only twenty-two or three, but she had been a mother for eight years, which was quite common in distant antiquity.

Looking at the tired wife, Bai Qilin was a little bitter, she was the queen of the Qin State Office, and her family was in the middle of the road, so she reverted to her surname Gongsun. But the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and although her family is ruined, she will not marry a person like herself who has not been able to come out for a long time and suffer......

"Gentleman, what's wrong with you?" Gongsun Yue saw that he had been staring at his face, and couldn't help but feel a little hot, and turned his face away: "The old husband and wife, what else do ......you look at?"

Bai Qilin just wanted to laugh, but he was like a fish in his throat, turned into a lament, and said, "I was demoted......

"Oh." Gongsun Yue nodded, but he didn't seem interested, no matter how fierce the depreciation was, how bad could their living environment be? .

Bai Qilin felt bitter in his heart: "I want to transfer to the border of Bashu ......"

"Are you moving again? Okay, I'll get ready right away! "Gongsun Yue is a doer.

"I'll go to ...... alone" Bai Qilin looked at Gongsun Yue who was shocked, and was unwilling, "That old guy forced me to say that I must find Du Hongchuan's body before letting me come back, before that...... I can only grieve your mother and son. ”

Gongsun Yue is worthy of being a good wife and mother, although all kinds of emotions of reluctance, unwillingness, helplessness, and resentment came to her heart, but she forcibly suppressed it and left a smiling face to her husband: "Gentleman, I will take care, there is danger over there, you ...... Take care of yourself. ”

"I'll take care of it!"

The two were silent for a while.

"Is Father going to war again?" Bai Kang played with the sword for a while, and he felt bored, so he came up and laughed: "Okay, yes!" Father fights, I'll go to work as a staff officer! ”

"Nonsense! I can't even use a sword, so what kind of conspiracy do I have? ”

Bai Kang puffed up his chest and said: "That's not necessarily, I've read the "Sun Wu Art of War" written by my mother now, maybe it's useful!" ”

"Stinky boy, your father is already familiar with the "Art of War" at your age!" Gongsun Yue laughed, as if he remembered the extremely diligent young man before, "Don't think that you understand everything after reading "Sun Wu's Art of War", how are you studying "Liutao"?" "Sima Fa" Mother hasn't written it to you yet! What kind of soldier to pretend! ”

When the names of the military books came out, Bai Kang bowed his head gloomily and muttered, "I just want to give my father something......

"You kid!" Bai Qilin stroked Bai Kang's head vigorously, "Don't worry, you are indispensable when you should go to the battlefield, maybe you will be an official bigger than your father in the future!" ”

"Really?"

"That's it, you're my white unicorn's son, how can you be worse than me?"

Gongsun Yue looked at the two of them with a smile.

Gradually, Bai Kang fell asleep comfortably, with a sweet and lovely smile on his face. Bai Qilin stroked his head and said, "This dispatch will be two or three years at least, or ten years or even longer...... I can't take care of you, and I can't take care of Kang'er. ”

Gongsun Yue nodded and said, "You go, I have me at home!" ”

“…… Speaking of which, I met another person in the woods, this person is good at martial arts, although slightly inferior to me, but in time it will become a great weapon! Bai Qilin removed his hand from Bai Kang's hair, "This person is only ten years old, if Kang'er is allowed to communicate with him more, my Bai family will definitely be a great talent in the future!" ”

"For a gentleman to value him so much, he must also have something extraordinary...... I don't know what this person's name is? ”

Bai Qilin looked at the faint candlelight, as if a fire was ignited in his heart: "This person has no surname, a member of the Di clan, and his name ...... Thai armor! ”
