Chapter 461: After the Aftermath
readx;
After the reinforcements left Beijing and returned to their respective territories, the imperial court sent them bereavement and rewards according to Zhu Qing and Kill Feng's suggestion. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info This is somewhat of an explanation for the dead, and some comfort for the living.
At the same time, Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty organized a grand ceremony to worship the heavens to comfort those warriors who sacrificed to defend the Ming Dynasty.
The ceremony was held in the Temple of Heaven, clockwise from the east to the north, a total of four days and four nights of worship, to the east to worship the ancestors, to the south to worship the soul, to the west to worship the Kaifeng warriors, to the north to worship the border warriors, among which the west and the north of the ceremony is the most tragic, the last two days and two nights of worship, the people of the capital spontaneously flocked to the street river, to protect the family and defend the country and the soldiers who died in the war chanting, put the river lantern.
Because of the solemnity of the sacrifice, Zhu Qing postponed the trip to take Lin Bai back from the customs and visited Cao Huachun by the way. But Xuanwu and Sai Shiqian and others couldn't wait. Kaifeng City has always been sensitive, relying on Liangshan alone may be difficult to deal with, Xuanwu from Zhu Qing order, led the Xuanwu Gate of Jinyi Wei rushed to Kaifeng, to consolidate the initial results of Kaifeng's land reform.
The Jiangnan Road Army went south to pursue Duoduo and his party, but there was no news for a long time, Zhu Qing was relieved, and immediately ordered Sai Shiqian to lead the five rats in the capital and half of the Jinyi guards of the Iron Mask Gate to the south to find Duoduo's whereabouts as soon as possible. With the connections of the five rats in the capital, it is needless to say that there is someone to find someone, not to mention that there is an old friend in Yangzhou, Qin Huai beauty Qin Xiang! Zhu Qing's arrangement of moving south during the game is just right.
At the same time, the Southwest Route Army also encountered a dilemma, the southwest has always been dangerous and barbaric, when the imperial court and the Manchu Qing Dynasty fierce battle, the southwest departments took the opportunity to rise, it seems that there is a strong force behind the southwest princes and the imperial court confrontation, even if they dare not openly call the imperial court on the table, but for the imperial court's decrees, most of them are yang and yin, which is intolerable to Chongzhen and Zhu Qing. Therefore, he has always been ruthless, and the black and white black demons of the powerful black and white were sent to the southwest by Zhu Qing to achieve the power of shock! Since the Iron Mask was demoted and Iron Song rebelled, the Iron Mask Gate has been handed over to the Black Mask to take over, and now the game has moved away half of the disciples of the Iron Mask Gate, and the remaining Iron Mask Gate Jinyi Guards are bound to follow the Black Mask to advance to the southwest. Although the four holy names of the Qinglong White Tiger Xuanwu Vermilion Bird moved the capital and shocked the rivers and lakes, in terms of strength, the Iron Mask Gate is the only Jinyi gate sect in the Qinglong Gate. When Tie Mian was still in charge of the Iron Mask Gate, Tie Mian Gate was supported by the previous commanders and envoys of the Ghost Fire, and he was the biggest opponent of the four saints in the capital. Now that the ghost fire has been extinguished, the Iron Mask Gate has changed hands several times, but the door wind is still there, and it is undoubtedly the most powerful team to follow the Black Demon to conquer the southwest.
The five gates, the White Tiger, Xuanwu, and Tiemian have all been in each town, and now only the Qinglongmen and the Vermilion Bird Gate are left in the capital.
Suzaku Gate is mostly a waitress, and it focuses more on cooperating with Ouchi to protect the safety of the palace, so although Suzaku wants to go out and break through, but the mission is in the body, and the Suzaku Gate must always obey the emperor's orders.
And Zhu Qing is not, although as the commander of the Jinyi guard, it is said that he should be inseparable from Chongzhen, but Zhu Qing should be glad that his masters can still be independent, and in response to the sentence "The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility", Zhu Qing, the commander of the capital, has to run around often, it can be said that where you need to go, where is the hardship and where to settle down!
All the aftermath was implemented one after another, and Zhu Qing's trip to the north was finally put on the agenda. On the night of leaving, Zhu Qing and several Jinyi guard generals who stayed in Beijing gathered at the Bird Cat Villa, talking about business on the table, but actually wanting to reminisce about the past. After all, too many things have happened during this time, and now I can't help but feel a chill in my back when I think about it, and it is embarrassing to be able to sit down and chat.
There is no doubt that he is still killing the wind and doing the east, but he already knows that he is no longer the protagonist. And Suzaku also feels the same way, although this is the Bird Villa, which is her Suzaku territory, but she is like a guest, and there is always a little embarrassment between Zhu Qing and Ning Er.
However, Dongfang Bai and Yan Shi Niang are unrestrained, this pair of chivalrous couples, who have been together for most of their lives, no one has opened their mouths to pierce that layer of window paper first, some feelings, maybe quarrel is better than love words, and sometimes even can't help but fight on the spot, in short, it is much better than being silent with each other.
Killing Wind glanced at Suzaku, this deep man except for his work and martial arts, other lives and feelings were in a mess, and he was exposed as soon as he came into contact. At this moment, the wine glass he raised towards Suzaku stopped in mid-air, making Zhu Qing and Ning Er can't help it.
Suzaku understands, but she doesn't want to understand, even if Ning'er is snuggled up to Zhu Qing's side at this moment, she can't convince herself to face the killing wind that has followed her since she was a child and made her her brother.
"Come, I toast you two and wish you all the best tomorrow." Suzaku picked up the wine glass and said to Zhu Qing and Ning Er, breaking the silence first.
Zhu Qing didn't want to make it too embarrassing for the master to kill the wind, so he and Ning Er picked up the wine glass and responded to the Suzaku half a glass before turning to the killing wind road, "A few masters, Ning Er and I will be out of the customs tomorrow, if the white tiger and the iron mask take care of the border city defense, we will come back soon." Thanks to the teachings of several masters, Zhu Qing never dared to forget his teacher's kindness no matter where he went. Ning'er and I would like to toast you. Ning'er also picked up the wine glass and pursed her lips and smiled.
"Okay, master, these old guys don't know how to say those meaty words, and the master hopes that you can go back safely, do it!" Killing Feng has always been fond of talking, and he can't say a few decent words at this time, and Liu Qingfeng has said all the good things.
Seeing that Zhu Qing and Ning Er were blessed by several masters, the more uncomfortable Suzaku felt in her heart, she forced a smile and said, "I still have a task to return to the palace later, so I can't be you, Suzaku punished himself with a cup and withdrew first." Suzaku said, and drank the wine in the cup. After drinking, he put down his glass, picked up his sword, got up and left the table, and walked towards his room without looking back.
Everyone looked at Suzaku's back and was silent for a moment.
"Hey, the drunkard doesn't mean to drink, and if the wine is not drunk, everyone will get drunk!" Dongfang Bai poured wine in his hand, but said leisurely in his mouth.
"You talk a lot, and wine can't seal your mouth! Come on, the old lady will drench you! Yan Shi Niang glanced at Dongfang Bai, picked up the wine glass and was more energetic.
Zhu Qing and Ning Er glanced at each other, and naturally they both knew it.
Zhu Qing felt that it was all because of himself, so he poured himself a cup of stuffiness, who knew that he was drinking wine, but the people around him were drinking vinegar.
"Humph!" Ning Er suddenly snorted, and also got up and left the table and went back to the house.
Zhu Qing was stunned for a moment, the cup in his hand stopped in mid-air, and looked at Ning'er's white shadow and smiled bitterly, "What? ”
"You're still in the mood to talk about foreign languages here, why don't you hurry up and chase it!" After all, it is a woman, Yan Siniang understands women's minds better, and when she saw Suzaku and Ning'er leaving the table one after another, she persuaded Zhu Qing.
Liu Qingfeng waved his hand, "Don't go yet, women can't get used to it." Liu Qingfeng said, and poured another glass of wine for himself and Zhu Qing.
Who knew that Dongfang Bai also brought the empty cup over and nodded, "Yes, I agree with Lao Liu's words, women can't get used to it!" ”
But as soon as the Oriental vernacular voice fell, Yan Shi Niang hurriedly sent a pair of white eyes, "You are everywhere!" Dongfang Bai had no choice but to return to his seat and softly coax the angry Shi Niang.
This provoked the murderous wind who has always been unsmiling, and also pursed his lips and smiled.
Yan Shi Niang didn't buy Dongfang Bai's account, she glared at her and got up to leave the table, and glared at Liu Qingfeng again when she left, "You guys deserve to be single until now!" Hum! Yan Shi Niang left the table angrily after saying a word.
The three women left the table one after another, so that these men who can usually manage thousands of troops and horses, and the Ming Dynasty and the country are instantly indifferent.
"A few masters, I don't have my own reasons, but as Shi Niang just said, in this regard, all masters really have to practice hard. Shi Niang's words are not rough, you have been running for Daming for most of your life, and you should think about it for yourself......" Zhu Qing said as he poured a few empty glasses full of wine.
"Hey, you kid, this thing started because of you, and you counted down and we came." Dongfang Bai said Zhu Qing with wine. But this time no one responded to him.
Liu Qingfeng raised his head to look at Mingyue, and couldn't help sighing, "Qinglong is right, the boss is not small, and he was urged by his mother before he returned home, and seeing her old man worry about my son all day long, I feel uncomfortable." Liu Qingfeng said, and took another cup, but he didn't expect the iron man to have tenderness.
Dongfang Bai patted Liu Qingfeng's shoulder and comforted, "Wasn't it interesting to Miss Qin Xiang before?" Why did you put it down again? "Compared with Liu Qingfeng and Killing Wind, even if Dongfang Bai has no reputation, he always knows that someone is worried about him.
Liu Qingfeng smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I don't know how to talk in the first place, and I said that we are living on the knife edge, I'm afraid it will affect Miss Qin Xiang, besides, Brother Shi Qian and Qin Xiang are old friends, and it is just that I didn't know about it earlier, and now I and Brother Shi Qian are brothers and comrades-in-arms who live and die together, and friends and wives cannot be bullied, I Liu Qingfeng still understands this truth." After that, Liu Qingfeng still drank another glass in front of Mingyue, but this time, Zhu Qing and the others accompanied him to do it.
"Drowning three thousand, it's really hard for you to drink this scoop." Dongfang Bai comforted again.
However, at this time, Zhu Qing couldn't help but look up at the moon, and when he was in a trance, Killing Feng, who had been silent, suddenly asked, "Are you still thinking of Miss Chen in your heart?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Dongfang Bai and Liu Qingfeng were both shocked, and couldn't help but glance at Zhu Qing.
Zhu Qing was stunned for a moment when he was killed, Miss Chen, Chen Yuanyuan, a familiar and distant name, it is said that the relationship between Zhu Qing and Chen Yuanyuan is quite similar to that of Liu Qingfeng and Qin Xiang, but it is a meeting on the road, and the other is the starting point of a dream. This may be an important reason why Liu Qingfeng can answer Dongfang Bai's question and Zhu Qing can't answer Killing Feng. Everything he has today is because of Chen Yuanyuan.
When Zhu Qing turned around and was about to drink a glass of wine in response to the killing wind, suddenly a black shadow broke into the mountain manor forest.
"Who?!" Almost at the same time, two swords swung down from the upper floor, and Ning Er and Suzaku intercepted the black shadow back and forth. The black shadow wanted to retreat in, not wanting another sword to stretch out from the darkness, Yan Shi Niang pointed at the black shadow with a sword and walked out slowly.
The black shadow had no choice but to turn around, and several men who were drinking in the middle of the pavilion also turned around quietly.
The black shadow had no choice but to remove the mask on its own......
