Yuan Zhonghua raised his face slightly in Gao Cheng's arms, but was attracted by a very special fragrance. This scent is very unfamiliar, very bizarre, and not very often. She had never smelled it on him before.

This is the scent of flowers, but it is not the usual fragrance of peach and apricot. The scent is intense and pungent, like a hint and a warning. Yuan Zhonghua's heart became uneasy, and at this time, Gao Cheng let go of her a little, lowered his head and kissed her with his lips. At the same time, Yuan Zhonghua clearly saw traces of lipstick on his cheeks and neck.

The bright and piercing lip grease stabbed Yuan Zhonghua fiercely.

Her heart pounded wildly. Suddenly he pushed him away, and before he could get up from his arms, he turned sideways and lowered his head and retched violently.

When the lady outside heard this voice, she hurried in without waiting for a call. Seeing such a scene, Ah Jiao thought that the housemother had drunk too much yesterday, and the alcohol had not subsided. Without waiting for the lord to command, he called the slaves and maids to serve the princess and wash up. The room suddenly became lively with people coming in and out, breaking the embarrassment just now.

Gao Cheng glanced at Ah Jiao. He hugged Yuan Zhonghua's body, which was so soft that he had almost no strength.

Ah Jiao hurriedly replied, "Madame drank with the queen in the palace yesterday, and she was already too strong to drink, but later the queen asked her to take Madame to the side hall to rest for a while. Ah Jiao's meaning is actually to find a reason for Yuan Zhonghua's overreaction, and at the same time to remind the prince.

Ah Jiao said as she stared at the lipstick marks on Gao Cheng's cheeks and neck, and gave Gao Cheng a gesture with her eyes. Yuan Zhonghua didn't sleep well all night, and if he made such a fuss again, he really didn't have any strength at all. Even so, she still pushed Gao Cheng away, leaned back into the room, and closed her eyes slightly. The feeling of turning over the river and the sea has passed, but there is an indescribable feeling of losing my appetite but I refuse to pass.

Gao Cheng looked at Ah Jiao's gaze at him very strangely, and then looked at Yuan Zhonghua's closed eyes and recuperation, she was unable to take care of him for a while, so she also looked at Ah Jiao and asked with her eyes. Ah Jiao had to point to her cheeks and neck to signal him again.

Gao Cheng raised his hand in confusion and gently touched his cheeks and neck, and then looked at his fingers. His fingers had already been stained with those residual traces of lipstick, and Gao Cheng suddenly realized. Looking at Yuan Zhonghua again, he seemed to be very weak and tired.

Gao Cheng already understood in his heart in an instant that Yuan Zhonghua had a misunderstanding in his heart because he saw him teasing the moonlight yesterday; The second reason is that seeing these traces left by Yuan Yuyi on his body last night today made her feel unhappy.

He thought about her all night and never slept peacefully. He came back in the early hours of the morning before he could wash, but he still let her see things that she shouldn't see, and he also felt that he was really careless and didn't take into account her feelings.

When I understood it, I had an idea, and I left Ah Jiao and other slaves and maids behind and turned a blind eye.

Leaning over and sticking to Yuan Zhonghua, knowing that she couldn't bear him, he wrapped his arms around her waist and back tightly, so that she would not be tired, and whispered with a greasy smile in her ear, "Your Highness didn't sleep last night, and it was all the fault of the lower officials." It just so happened that Xia Guan was discussing with Changyou and Uncle Zheng last night, and he didn't sleep all night, and it was really hard. Doesn't His Royal Highness feel sorry for the lower officials? ”

Ah Jiao and a few slaves and maids saw that the prince suddenly flattered the princess with such a hippie smile, and they all wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh. Yuan Zhonghua had finally adjusted her breath, and just after relieving herself, she opened her eyes and saw the alluring face that was almost on her cheeks, but she suddenly turned her head sideways with her sleeves covered, as if she had a sense of disgust. His eyes were full of disbelief. She had never treated him like this before.

Gao Cheng was like a mirror in his heart, but he smiled intentionally, "How can Xia Guan be so blessed and have a good wife like a princess." At the same time, he turned back and loudly instructed Ah Jiao and the others, "Go and get hot water to wash." Turning his head again, with a force on his arm, he hugged Yuan Zhonghua tightly and said with a playful smile, "Your Highness promised to accompany the official to bed?" Without waiting for Yuan Zhonghua to speak, he picked her up horizontally and walked to the bed where he slept at night.

Anyway, it's already morning, where is there a husband who goes to bed day and night as soon as he comes back, Yuan Zhonghua blushed and said hurriedly, "Who agreed?" Seeing the lipstick on his cheeks again, he sneered, "You go out!" ”

Gao Cheng immediately hugged her and turned around, and walked out. asked solemnly, "Where does Your Highness want to go to sleep with your subordinates?" With a completely obedient look, he just waited for Yuan Zhonghua to go wherever he was pointed, and he looked very obedient.

"Let go of me." Yuan Zhonghua was slightly relieved at this time, and with some strength, he became dishonest in his arms, pushed him hard, and wanted to break free. "Let me down, you get out!"

Gao Cheng ignored her at all, and while holding her and turning to walk inside, he said as if muttering to himself, "Xia Guan is reluctant to leave the princess again, so he came to say goodbye to the princess before the Western Expedition." As he spoke, he was already full of sorrow and couldn't give up.

Sure enough, Yuan Zhonghua was successfully diverted by him at once, and asked in disbelief, "What do you mean?" "She had a bad feeling.

Seeing Yuan Zhonghua's expression, he suddenly became uneasy, forgetting all about what happened just now, obviously caring about him very much. Gao Cheng was moved in his heart, and he couldn't bear to scare her anymore.

He had already carried her into the inner bed, turned around and motioned for Ah Jiao and the others to withdraw, and when the heavy curtain fell, only the two of them were left.

Gao Cheng smiled and said, "The next official will lead his troops to Pujin Pass on the same day, and Princess Lao will be worried." I don't know why, there is also a trace of uneasiness in his heart, and the meaning of the joke just now has been completely dispersed. His expression also became slightly heavy.

Thinking of yesterday's issue about harmony, I was a little worried about Yuan Zhonghua, and her green eyes were reluctantly tied to her, "I don't know when I can return to Yecheng, and Xia Guan is also worried about the princess in his heart." ”

When Yuan Zhonghua heard him say this, his eyes were full of tears again. Afraid that he would disappear from her eyes immediately, afraid that he would gradually become estranged, if she was about to leave, she stretched out her arms and wrapped her arms around Gao Cheng's neck, but what she smelled was still that strange and strange fragrance of flowers.

Let the tears flow, face outward and pill your head on his shoulder, "Husband doesn't have to hide it from me like this, let's bring that person back to the house." Yuan Zhonghua's various sadness and fear welled up in his heart, and he couldn't stop crying, and choked up, "I don't want my husband to stay out and refuse to come back." ”

Hearing Yuan Zhonghua's words, she could also hear that she was very sad at the moment, and Gao Cheng was silent. But he didn't want to explain too much to Yuan Zhonghua and didn't take the topic.

Holding her and stopping, he didn't go to the bed again, and suddenly said for a long time, "There is only His Highness in the heart of the lower official, and no one else." ”

Neither of them spoke again. Although they all have too many doubts in their hearts, they actually know that the other party is telling the truth. But the truth at this moment may not always be true.

The former capital of Luoyang, after experiencing the division of the Wei family in the east and west, and moving the capital to Yecheng and Chang'an respectively, gradually tended to be deserted and declined. The majesty and dignity of the old palaces and official offices no longer exist, and even the prosperity of the people in the street is no longer prosperous.

moved the capital, not only did all kinds of people move away from Luoyang, but even the royal spirit of the original capital disappeared. Luoyang is just Luoyang City, and the capital of Great Wei is gone. Households migrated, palaces were demolished, and the old land of the Han and Wei dynasties was almost in ruins.

Yuwentai's return to Luoyang City this time, although it evokes many memories of the past, but seeing the rise and fall of Luoyang City, thinking about the day when he entered the capital to meet and get married, he can't help but sigh.

The Qianhe River in the east of Luoyang, the north is by the Pi Mountain, the west enters the Luoshui, Yuwentai stands on the side of the Qianhe River and looks to the north, always feels that you can vaguely see the imperial tomb on the Pi Mountain. Or the eye can't see, but the heart can see.

Since Emperor Gaozu Xiaowen moved the capital from Pingcheng to Luoyang, four Great Wei emperors have been buried on the mountain. Gaozu Xiaowen Emperor Yuanhong, Sejong Xuanwu Emperor Yuanke, Suzong Xiaoming Emperor Yuanxu, and Heyin Rebellion died at the hands of the Erzhu family, and was known as the filial piety Emperor Yuanziyou of Jingzong.

According to the interpretation of the "Law": night vigilance and respect; Dreaming of the night and respecting; Xiang Fang Yiping said respect; Good and legal code is respectful. I don't know what the meaning of the honorific character in Yuan Ziyou's temple number is.

Yu Wentai actually didn't study the "Confessional Law", and he was certainly not a Confucian himself, so he wouldn't care so much about this. He grew up on the grassland of Daibei Wuchuan, and when he was young, he was a person who had a blood feud and responsibility to pursue great ambitions in troubled times.

Even if you have great ambitions, no one is born with them, and they are always after they have settled down. This is the difference between him and Gao Cheng. He stands here today, and the rise and fall of a country he is certainly not the same as when he was exhausted.

Now he wants to capture Luoyang.

Not only because he promised the emperor the Yuan Bao Torch to keep the imperial tomb and temple of the Great Wei, but also because Luoyang is very important to him. Tongguan, Luoyang, Tiger Prison ...... South of the Yellow River. Only by firmly controlling the land of Henan could he continue eastward to Yecheng until he took the entire Eastern Wei Dynasty for himself. So that the two Wei are once again one.

Both sides of the river are the harvest season of the fruits in this season. There are countless cherry trees on both sides, and in midsummer they are full of cherries that each tree bows its head. Cherry, called "peach" in the Book of Rites, was a precious sacrifice for Zhou Tianzi to sacrifice the tomb of the first king and the ancestral temple. After King Ping moved his capital to Luoyi, he chose the "Zhu Ying" at the foot of the mountain and on the bank of the Qianhe River to recommend the temple.

At this moment, the cherry that Yu Wentai saw in front of him was the cherry that Zhou Tianzi recommended the temple at that time. The river flows slowly from the foot, the river water is clear and almost visible to the bottom, and the mountains are undulating in the distance, and its momentum is majestic. In midsummer, it is not as withering as in winter, but when the flowers are blooming, it makes people feel a very different sense of loneliness and loneliness.

Yu Jin, the general of the Northern Yongzhou Assassin and the Che Cavalry, went out as the vanguard general of the Eastern Expedition. In fact, at the beginning, the lord Yu Wentai wanted to take the initiative to attack the Eastern Wei Dynasty, which made Yu Jin feel a little surprised. After years of famine, the people are poor and the country is weak, it is not easy to support this almost shattered so-called "Great Wei Sheji", how can it still take the initiative to attack. If the Eastern Wei Dynasty really poured out of the nest and the army swept in, it would be tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, and then it would be a complete defeat.

But the lord was decisive and led his troops eastward. In fact, Yu Jin also understood in his heart that he was really exhausted, so he had to rush to Shaanzhou to take Cangsu to solve the crisis. Unexpectedly, the hungry army had no way to retreat, and with only 10,000 people, they pulled out the beans and Kehengnong all the way to be invincible, making the cities of Hebei look forward to the wind. With this majesty, he went straight to Luoyang.

Yu Jin looked at the back figure of the man in two-crotch armor under the cherry tree by the river. Suddenly, I found that the lord had lost a lot of weight since I didn't know when. At this time, he did not wear a hood, only tied his hair with a small crown, and the black hakama looked a little casual, if he was a stranger, he would not have thought that this was the prime minister of the temple in charge of the temple of Dawei at a glance, and he might only think that he was an ordinary soldier. He didn't know where to go when he was a teenager, and his shoulders that were once so tall made people feel like they were being weighed down by an invisible weight at this moment.

"My lord." Yu Jin had already walked to Yu Wentai's side, and called in a low voice.

Yuwentai immediately turned around. is still so delicate and thick sword eyebrows, or big and black eyes like paint, and his face has not changed, but I don't know where there is more vicissitudes of life.

"Lord, the captured Shaanzhou Assassin and 8,000 soldiers are also a drag, the cities of Hebei have fallen, it is better to enter the customs first to recuperate, protect the power and wait for time, and wait until the troops are gathered before marching eastward." Yu Jin's words are relatively relaxed, in fact, it means that since you have taken the cangsu and solved the urgent need, it is better to accept it when you see it.

After all, there are only 10,000 people who can come bravely but can't bear to fight for a long time. If it is a tiger and a snake, with a big victory in the front and a big defeat in the back, the gains outweigh the losses. It's just that Yu Jin is cautious and moderate, and he won't say anything that the lord can't accept without face.

Yu Jin's thoughts, how could Yu Wentai not know. He turned around and looked at the mountain, "Gao Aocao and Hou Jingtun's 30,000 soldiers in the tiger prison are afraid that I will advance eastward again, and they will hold on to the dangerous pass." Hou Jing is selfish, afraid of losing the foundation he has been operating for many years. Although Gao Aocao is arrogant, he is still Gao Huan's old man after all. ”

Yu Jin also continued, "What the lord said is that although Hou Jing and Gao Aocao have their own selfish intentions, they have the same mind at this time, and the lord might as well lead troops west into Tongguan to watch the future situation." Moreover, Yuan Gui sent a letter that Dongkou had arrived at Pujin Pass with 200,000 armor and gathered heavy troops, but Yuan Gui couldn't see his true intentions for a while, and he didn't know when to cross the river. Yu Jin saw that Yuwentai did not speak, and relayed, "Yuan Gui ordered his ministers to be entrusted to the lord, and he must stay with his life, and Dongkou is not allowed to cross the Yellow River and enter Tongguan." ”

Whether Zhao Gui can hold it or not, whether he can stop the 200,000 Eastern Wei troops is a matter of life and death. If you can keep it and block it, you will be happy. can't hold it, can't stop it, the country is ruined.

"Who is the moderation of these 200,000 belts?" Yu Wentai turned around again and looked at Yu Jin.

"First said that it was Gao Cheng, the son of the world, and then the scout reported that Gao Cheng was not in the army, and even the henchman Chen Yuankang he brought, and the general Hou He of Wuwei were not seen again. The moderation in the army is Jinju Assassin Shi, and Murong Shaozong of Xidao Daxingtai. ”
