Chapter 597: A Matter of Face

"Is that her?" Happy frowned slightly, whispered in his mouth, and his eyes became deeper and more distant, making it impossible to see the true thoughts in his heart.

"The princess of the royal family of Zhou State has no suitable age to marry, and it is Yang Jian who recommended it to the main force of Zhou, and the princess of Qianjin will become the object of peace between Zhou and the Turks this time, and marry the seventh prince of the Turks, Ashina Kuhezhen."

Everyone knows that Qi Guo once married Zhou Guo, although in the end he failed to achieve his wish, Yuwen Qianjin was also happy with his nominal wife. Although Happy and Yuwen Qianjin have never had a one-sided relationship, and they can't talk about deep friendship, but now Yuwen Yun has married Yuwen Qianjin to the Turks, which is really a humiliation for Xing, and even a naked provocation to Northern Qi.

Because of this, Zhang Shunzhi's tone was very calm and cautious, for fear that he would anger his happiness.

"Yang Jian? It's him again! The cold light in his eyes flickered in his eyes, and there was a touch of coldness in his tone.

For this potential enemy, happiness is both resentment and admiration. Although Yang Jian was able to return to Chang'an because he was happy and intentionally indulged, it was not providential. Compared with Yang Jian, who has the potential to be a hero, happiness is sometimes a little too emotional.

Yang Jian's proposal to let Yuwen Qianjin marry the Turks was nothing more than to provoke the relationship between the Northern Qi and the Turks, in order to make himself and the Northern Qi lose face, and force himself to go to war with the Turks, so as to reap the benefits.

To fight or not to fight?

Happy chose the former without even thinking about it, and now he is thinking more about how to fight and how to win.

If it's just a personal honor and disgrace, happiness may hold back and wait for the opportunity. However, now it is a matter of the country's face, and even if the road ahead is difficult, he has to give it a go.

Now although Gao Changgong is said to be a dominant family, Northern Qi is by no means monolithic, and I don't know how many ambitions are hidden in the shadows and covet their status and power. If Xing refuses to fight, it will only make outsiders see the joke, which will damage his prestige and be even more detrimental to stabilizing the situation in Northern Qi.

The hatred of killing one's father, the hatred of taking one's wife, how can you endure it?

"Yang Nut is really a good strategy, I'm afraid he has already prepared manpower, waiting for me to rob him!" Standing happily, looking at the cold moon in the sky, his tone was low and ethereal.

"My lord, what do you mean-" Zhang Shunzhi's eyes widened, and he looked at Happy with some uncertainty, wanting to say something to dissuade him, but he didn't know where to start.

"By the way, there are some things that cannot be chosen, and avoiding them will not solve the problem." Happily turned to look at Zhang Shunzhi, his deep eyes were as bright as stars, and the bright brilliance made Zhang Shunzhi's eyes tingle for a while, and he almost didn't dare to look at him.

"The one-man show is inevitably boring, since Yang Jian wants me to rob my relatives, then I will fulfill his wish, and I just take this opportunity to practice and train soldiers, after all, it is inevitable that there will be a war between us and the Turks!"

Zhang Shun's heart froze, and his face became a little more serious, "My lord, how do you need your subordinates, just give orders!" ”

"When the princess gets married, there are many etiquettes, and it is not a matter of day and night, so there is no hurry for the time being." Happy chuckled and said, "You just need to keep a close eye on Zhou Guo's movements." ”

"Yes!"

……

When the first rays of sunlight shone into the latticework of the next morning, Happy slowly opened his eyes. Looking sideways at Zhang Rong and Wu Shun who were like well-behaved kittens, curled up in their arms on the left and right, and then at Zhang Lihua lying on her chest, looking at their serene and satisfied smiles and the spots on their smooth and delicate skin, thinking of the absurdity of last night, the corners of her happy mouth couldn't help but burst into a warm smile.

Lovers who have been separated for a long time always cherish every moment of getting together, and after greeting Zheng's last night, they happily talked with Zhang Rong's three daughters at night, complaining to each other, and finally fell in the tide of **.

Wu Shun was originally thin, Xu was really happy, coupled with Zhang Lihua's bewitchment, he finally let go of the reserve in his heart and served Cheng Huan with Zhang Rong's master and apprentice.

Gently pulled out the arms in Zhang Rong and Wu Shun's arms, moved Zhang Lihua from the body to the bed, felt the smooth and soft skin of the three girls, and swayed with joy, but he didn't make any light moves, just gently kissed the three girls on the forehead, and quietly put on his clothes and walked out of the door.

When I came to the courtyard, I took a look at the bright sky, took a deep breath of the slightly cold fresh air, and felt happy and happy, and my spirit couldn't help but lift up slightly.

After finding a dry place in the courtyard, he sat cross-legged facing the east, slowly closed his eyes, put his tongue against his palate, and then calmed down and began to practice the introductory mental method of "The Recipe for Longevity", calmly and patiently looking for a sense of qi.

Happy is not a person who gives up easily, because these days, he has always been lucky, not to mention the fierce battle the night before, a strange true qi gushed out of the dantian by chance, and it made Happy firmly believe that the true qi in his body has not disappeared.

Although that true qi has now disappeared without a trace, Gao Xing faintly understands that his cultivation has entered a bottleneck, and as long as he perseveres, he will eventually regain his strength one day, and even go further.

Half an hour later, the sky was bright, and he slowly opened his eyes with joy, and got up from work, exhaling a long breath of turbidity. Although he still failed to get what he wanted, he was happy but not disappointed, and half an hour of meditation made him feel refreshed, without the slightest fatigue, even with the crooked legs.

"Squeak!"

The door behind him opened, Wu Shun took the lead in walking out of the house, facing the eyes of the happy look, thinking of the absurdity of last night, he suddenly lowered his head shyly, his face was red, and his voice was also shy, and he was even more delicate: "Husband-"

"Shun'er, why did you get up and didn't sleep much?" happily stepped forward and gently swept the scattered strands of hair from her sideburns to the back of her head, and her warm eyes flowed into Wu Shun's heart like a spring water.

"It's not early yet," Wu Shun's voice was as soft as a breeze, looking at the morning sun on the horizon, "not to mention that the concubine still has to serve her mother and wash up." ”

"I've been away for a long time, and you have done your filial piety for me and taken care of my mother, and it's hard work!" Happy to hold Wu Shun's soft wattle hard, his face was slightly ashamed.

"Don't see the husband, it's the responsibility of the concubine to take care of the mother, it's not hard." Wu Shun shook his head with a smile and said, "Husband, you don't stay there, let's eat after the concubine gets up, do you think it's okay?" ”

"There you go!" happily patted Wu Shun's little hand.

Wu Shun smiled gently, and then took small lotus steps and walked towards the adjacent courtyard. Looking at Wu Shun, who was rendered with a layer of golden brilliance by the rising sun, like a weak willow supporting the wind, and his graceful back, his happy heart was full of warmth.

……

At noon, Poppies and Xiao Shiyun came to visit again, and happily and formally led the two to the quiet room, and after Wu Shun closed the door with tea and snacks and left, he put on a more serious face and said straight to the point: "Poppy envoy, Sister Yun'er, I don't know what the two of you have come to find this office for, you might as well say it clearly." If this father does his best, for the sake of the two of them to protect their mother all the way, this father will do his best to meet it. ”

"The little prince is really a cheerful person, and he is even liked by the slave family!"

The poppies seem to be happy and ashamed, laughing while talking, the graceful and soft body of the flowers and branches tremble, charming and amorous, the whole body is full of charm, even with a happy mind There are slight ripples in the heart. Compared with the past, Poppies's charm is also more profound, and now she no longer needs to be pretentious, and she is naturally charming with her gestures.

"Little Prince, Senior Sister Xiao is not an ordinary disciple of the Hundred Flowers Palace, she is the descendant disciple of the palace master of the palace, and she is also the heir of the next palace master of the Hundred Flowers Palace.

"What?" Xiao Shiyun was taken aback by joining the Hundred Flowers Palace, but she didn't want her to be the next palace master of the Hundred Flowers Palace. Baihua Palace is the four factions of the Demon Gate, although the power is not the strongest, but in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, no one dares to provoke, especially the "Peony Sutra" passed down by the palace master is even more wonderful.

"Sister Yun'er, I didn't expect you to be so powerful, you are still the young palace master of the Hundred Flowers Palace, but it is the eldest brother who looks down on you!"

"Brother Gao, how do you make fun of people?" Xiao Shiyun is slightly blushing, even though she is embarrassed, the graceful and noble bearing on her body is still the same, adding a different charm.

"Okay, okay, get down to business." happily smiled, and said seriously: "Sister Yun'er, say it, big brother listen." ”

Xiao Shiyun calmed down, her face returned to calm and tranquil, her clear eyes flashed with the brilliance of wisdom, and her beautiful and melodious voice like a silver bell sounded slowly: "Big Brother Gao, Little Sister is a lobbyist on the orders of the teacher this time, I hope that Big Brother Gao can cooperate with our Baihua Palace." ”

"Oh?" Although I had already guessed in my heart, I was still a little surprised when I heard Xiao Shiyun confirm it in person, "Your Baihua Palace is located on the Yangtze River, and few people dare to commit a minor offense, I am far away from you, but I don't know why?" ”

"Brother Gao, don't say secret words in front of the Ming people, aren't you not going to be my sister?" Xiao Shiyun stared at Xing Xing tightly with a pair of wonderful eyes, her clear eyes seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts, and her tone was slightly dissatisfied.

Happy that the intention of pretending not to know was debunked by Xiao Shiyun, and she was surprised by Xiao Shiyun's intelligence and keenness, but there was no embarrassment on her face, and she said in a light tone: "Sister Yun'er misunderstood, eldest brother just felt a little sudden." After a pause, he said happily: "I don't know how the Hundred Flowers Palace plans to cooperate?" ”

The corners of Xiao Shiyun's mouth were slightly hooked, and the determined and graceful demeanor on her face made people always unconsciously ignore her age.

"Brother Gao, our Baihua Palace has some connections along the Yangtze River, if you and I cooperate, I believe your business in Nanchen will be more prosperous. My Lunatic Sect is all women, and I have no ambition to be dominant, I just hope that in the future, I can be protected by Big Brother Gao and have a place to live. ”

After speaking, Xiao Shiyun looked at Happy with a look of hope and nervousness, and he didn't know if it was an illusion of happiness, he found that Xiao Shiyun had a strange look in his eyes, which seemed to be shy.

Happy just pondered for a moment and then said: "If you have money, everyone will make money, I agreed to your proposal, but we have to discuss the relevant details carefully." ”
