"Laughing at what?" Qiqin asked the maid to hold the child down, and looked at Ye Yingwu, after four months, the husband turned black, and his posture was more upright, and the tempering of the war still left traces on his body after all. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Ye Yingwu sat down and replied unhurriedly: "If you let the bustling seekers by the West Lake a few years ago see such a picture, I'm afraid they will be shocked." No one would believe that the Lin'an Oiran of Willow Lane, the famous 36 Flower Street, would be happy to teach her husband and children here. ”

While picking up the teapot and pouring a cup of tea and handing it to Ye Yingwu, Qiqin smiled and met Ye Yingwu's gaze: "The concubine has no desire for the rolling red dust, and she just wants to be able to live this life peacefully. If it weren't for the husband, maybe the concubine would have been 'old and old', and she wouldn't know where she was down. ”

Ye Yingwu took a sip of tea, stretched out his hand to hold Qiqin's plain hand, and gently plucked each finger, this finger once played the famous music of Lin'an, and also made himself fascinated when he was young: "Since Qin'er has a child, there are fewer times when she touches the qin, but what Qin'er said just now is not right, if you are old and decrepit now, I am afraid that most women in the world will be ashamed of themselves." ”

"Flim tongue," Qiqin chuckled lightly, letting Ye Yingwu hold her hand, "The concubine followed her husband at that time, but many people think that this is the most ridiculous decision the concubine has made." ”

After a pause, Qiqin leaned on Ye Yingwu's shoulder: "But the concubine knows that when the concubine opens her eyes in the drunken spring breeze and sees her husband apologize to the concubine, there is nothing wrong with the concubine following her husband." ”

"You're smart." Ye Yingwu quietly hugged Qiqin, and did not move his hands and feet as always.

In the end, it was a couple who had shared the same bed with Ye Yingwu for many years, and Qiqin also vaguely noticed that Ye Yingwu was preoccupied, and seemed to be hesitating if he wanted to say something. At that moment, he turned around to help Ye Yingwu gently rub his shoulder, and Qiqin chuckled: "The concubine is happy." The place of residence is already a secluded place behind the side of the palace, the husband passes by from the concubine, and there is only the imperial garden and the Fuxin Hall of the Emperor Taishang's cultivation in the future, it is still early, the husband does not deal with political affairs and comes to the imperial garden alone, it is unreasonable to say that the husband must want to go to the Fuxin Palace? ”

Ye Yingwu was silent for a moment and nodded: "What do Daddy and those old ministers of the former dynasty think, it is very clear, although you harem sisters don't say it on the surface, they also understand it in private." All of them are smart people in Bingxue, so you don't have to pretend to be confused. In fact, I also want to know what you think in your hearts, after all, this matter is not only about X and Daddy, but also about each of you. ”

Qiqin tilted her head slightly to look at Ye Yingwu, and said, "But Sister Wanniang is the righteous sister of the concubine, isn't the husband afraid of who the concubine is favoring?" ”

Ye Yingwu stretched out his hand to hold Qiqin's shoulder: "I know you won't." ”

Whether it is because Ye Yingwu and Qiqin have shared weal and woe along the way, the two have this kind of trust and tacit understanding, or because even if Qiqin wants to deliberately favor Lu Wanyan, Ye Yingwu will definitely be able to find out, all kinds of reasons make Qiqin very clear what she should say.

What's more important is that Qiqin's identity is here, she is a famous prostitute in Lin'an, although she is famous in Lin'an, but she is definitely not noble, and she can even be said to be from a humble background. She can now sit here as the imperial concubine of the Ming Dynasty, mainly because of Ye Yingwu's insistence, after all, the Ming Dynasty had just been established at that time, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites were not concerned about the identities of these concubines in the Ming harem, but were worried about how to give Ye Yingwu the seventy-two concubines in the three palaces and six courtyards, so that the harem of the Ming Dynasty would not look so shabby, so at that time, for the concubine Qiqin, even Chen Zongli, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, did not say much.

After all, something is better than nothing.

It is precisely because of the problem of identity, coupled with her indifferent and indisputable personality, that Qiqin has almost become a forgotten existence in the harem. But no one dares to really forget this woman who has no pursuit of the position of concubine, queen or prince. Not only because Qiqin was the first person to follow Ye Yingwu through all the ups and downs with him, not only because of her sisterhood with the queen mother, but also because of Qiqin's gentle and plain personality, which made her an indispensable buffer and harmony in the entire harem.

Qiqin chuckled: "As the husband said, the sisters in the harem are very smart and clever, and even the most blunt concubines can see that the emperor is really sick of the heart this time." And the husband is obviously worried about this problem as well. Previously, the husband had clearly promised Wanniang's sister that Zhao'er would become the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhao'er was also the eldest son of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Ye Yingwu nodded. Qiqin continued: "So this question is actually very simple, the husband does not plan to really change his original promise because of Shu'er, even more or the heirs of the rest of the concubines, as long as Zhao'er has no accidents, in the husband's heart, he is the next generation of emperors of the Ming Dynasty." What needs to be solved now is actually only the heart disease of the old ministers of the former dynasty such as the Emperor Taishang. ”

This is true, as long as Daddy and they are dead, Wanniang will naturally be relieved. She believes that a promise made by a certain person will not be renegotiated, unless there are irresistible demands and factors, and the oppression of Daddy and their elders is likely to be this irresistible demand. Ye Yingwu said in a deep voice, thinking of the sad look between Lu Wanyan's eyebrows yesterday, even if he was hard-hearted, he would feel a tingle.

"And the concubine doesn't explain, the husband must be very clear, in fact, Sister Shu'er doesn't really mean to compete with Wanniang for favor." Qiqin helped Ye Yingwu add a cup of tea while looking up at the pond that was blown by the wind with countless ripples, "If she really wanted to compete for favor, it would not be her current performance a long time ago." Sister Shu'er is a recognized beauty in the harem, and her personality is gentle and amiable, if she wants to compete for favor, I'm afraid that her husband will already be difficult to control herself, and she doesn't know what it will look like to be tempted. ”

Ye Yingwu laughed embarrassedly, he knew that what Qiqin said was not false. If Zhao Yunshu, this girl, really deliberately greets anyone, let alone herself, I'm afraid that even if Liu Xia Hui is reincarnated, she won't be able to hold it. It's just that this girl's requirements are very low, as long as there is an eaves that can shelter from the wind and rain, the rest can all make a living, let her take the initiative to tempt Ye Yingwu, it is better to kill this little girl directly, not to mention that Zhao Yunshu grew up in the palace, and saw her mother's ruthlessness and grandmother's helplessness with her own eyes in Lin'an, it can be said that the harem does not have a good impression in her heart, and she is not interested in this kind of thing at all.

Otherwise, with her experience of being rendered by the light and dark battles in the harem since she was a child, I am afraid that it will be difficult for Wan Niang to compete with her, and even a theoretical school like Qiqin will have to lose.

"This is normal for people, why should the husband be ashamed," Qiqin said with a smile, "Sister Shu'er doesn't have the intention of competing for favor, even if the emperor really wants to do something, Sister Shu'er won't agree, so the husband doesn't have to worry about the future." ”

Ye Yingwu raised his head and looked at Qiqin: "Qin'er, you mean?" ”

"You can just make it clear to the Emperor Taishang directly," Qiqin said solemnly, "The Emperor Taishang has been up and down in the court for so many years, if this can't be accepted, then the husband will probably underestimate him too much." In fact, the best way is not for the husband to go and talk to the Emperor alone, but to go with Sister Shu'er, as for what to do next・・・・・・"

Before Qiqin finished speaking, Ye Yingwu stood up suddenly, reached out and hugged Qiqin, kissed her heavily on the lips, and couldn't help laughing: "Qin'er, you are really a good Qin'er!" ”

"Husband!" Qiqin snorted, and subconsciously looked around, fortunately, the maids had already retreated with a very good look, but Rao was so, and a slight blush appeared on Qiqinqiao's face, after kissing yesterday, this guy was addicted?

However, Qiqin quickly calmed down, and reached out to comb the hair on her sideburns: "The husband is just a fan of the authorities." ”

"In this game, since you can't see clearly, let's just break through the tricks," Ye Yingwu met Qiqin's gaze, "Very good!" ”

――――――――――――---

The vast Gobi, the vast yellow sand.

Several figures rushed up the sand dunes quickly, glanced at the surrounding desolate and empty Gobi Desert, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

At least they won't be like bloodthirsty sharks rushing up and biting off a piece of meat on their own body even if they are desperate for their lives.

"Great Khan, Great Khan, sit down and take a breath." A commander carefully helped Haidu to dismount, Haidu looked quite embarrassed at this time, his face was full of dust, there was no trace of blood in sight, and his lips were already chapped, his hair was unkempt, and his eyes had long since lost the demeanor of winning outside the Star Gorge.

It can be said that in the past few days, Haidu has experienced a rapid decline from the peak to the trough, even the commander and the surrounding guards who are loyal to the Great Khan have to sigh, the Great Khan can still persevere, the strength of the state of mind has been different from ordinary people, if it were replaced by them, seeing their life's work ruined, I am afraid that they would have collapsed long ago.

"Let people go out and keep watch." Haidu got off the horse, and if it weren't for the quick help of the commander, I am afraid that he would fall directly to the ground, but even then he would have stumbled.

The commander nodded, although there were only six of them left, but he couldn't let his guard down, he made a look, and the two cavalrymen flew away. Haidu breathed a sigh of relief and leaned against a rock, unconsciously feeling his hands trembling.

After all, the Great Khan is not young anymore, and with the bumps and bumps along the way, coupled with the blow of defeat, it is very good to be able to hold on until now. The commander took out a piece of dry cake from his bosom and handed it to Haidu, while taking out the crumpled map and unfolding it.

Haidu took the dry cake and took a bite without the slightest hesitation, eating it with relish, and the commander had already sent the map to him: "Great Khan, we are still three miles away from Hotan, and my subordinates think it is better to hurry to Hotan after a rest." ”

Haidu's eyes tightened: "There are still three miles to Hetian?" When did we last come into contact with the cavalry of the Southern Barbarians? ”

The commander looked up at the sun, and after pondering for a long time, he said with great certainty: "About two or three hours ago, it was also the most time we saw the Southern Barbarians, if it wasn't for more than ten brothers staying to stop us, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to get here at all, and we would have been caught up by the Southern Barbarians." ”

"I'm afraid there were thousands of Southern Barbarians that time." Haidu said in a deep voice, the dry cake in his hand almost fell to the ground, obviously realizing something, "If it's just a pursuit, do you think the Southern Barbarians will chase this place?" ”

The commander was stunned for a moment, and his face, which had been calm, also showed a look of panic, this place will soon arrive in Hotan, and the southern barbarians continue to chase all the way to this place, and even more and more chasing soldiers, why? It was certainly not because the Southern Barbarians sent a cavalry deep into the enemy territory in pursuit of Haidu, if that was the case, it would be impossible for them to get to this place alive.

Seeing the commander's face change drastically, Haidu couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Since it was not just to pursue themselves, there was only one possibility, and the army of the Southern Barbarians followed behind them, and these pursuers were not so much here to pursue Haidu as to confirm whether their own march was in the right direction.

"This ・・・・・・ this can't be ・・・・・・" The commander's voice was a little out of tune, and he had been supporting him until now, in addition to protecting Haidu's loyalty, but also because the commander knew that as long as he arrived in Hotan, it would be equivalent to saving his life, whether it was advancing or retreating, Haidu had room for maneuver.

And now the commander realizes that in the eyes of the cavalry of the Southern Barbarians, he is actually a guide, and what these Southern Barbarians want is not to capture Haidu, but to follow Haidu all the way to Hotan! With Haidu entering Hotan City, Hotan at this time must be the time when the troops are weak and the most chaotic, and even the Ming army can take advantage of this opportunity to rush directly into the city.

Haidu slowly stood up, which can explain why the Ming cavalry that had been biting for a long time disappeared at this moment, he would not be naïve to think that more than ten cavalry could stop the Ming army, then there is only one explanation, the Ming army also realized that it was almost at its destination, so it was too lazy to startle the snakes, let them run in front, as long as the army fell behind.

"How is this possible, the Southern Barbarians have just won the Battle of Star Gorge, how can they catch up so quickly?" The commander muttered, almost sitting on the beach.

Haidu squinted his eyes slightly: "It is definitely not a day or two for the Xili Jibe and the Southern Barbarians to hook up, and the combat power shown by the Southern Barbarians in Xingxing Gorge has far surpassed ours, obviously it is not a day or two to gather so many troops, it must have been waiting for the majority for a long time, the reason why they have completely torn their faces with us until now, it is estimated that they are still waiting for the news of the Central Plains, Kublai Khan was defeated so completely, and these Southern Barbarians in Hexi have no worries at all,"

After a pause, Haidu's voice even carried a trace of fear: "So Xingxing Gorge is just a small test for them, just a beginning." ”

Under the sun of the Gobi Desert, the commander couldn't help but shiver, the Southern Barbarians didn't intend to stop at Xingxing Gorge, they just took this as a starting point? And where do they end? Thinking of Hotan not far away, and then thinking about the entire Western Regions, the commander felt that he was no longer able to speak smoothly.

Southern Barbarian, this is to take advantage of the defeat of Haidu to swallow the Western Regions in one bite, and he doesn't even plan to give Haidu a little respite?

And that day, in the Battle of Xingxia Day, Da Ming's overwhelming attack proved that Da Ming definitely had this strength now, and now they obviously did not hesitate to burst out all the strength they had accumulated for a long time. Qianfu has been by Haidu's side for a long time, and he also knows the opponent of the Southern Barbarian.

Since these cunning and ruthless Southern Barbarians have Ye Yingwu, the commander and emperor, what they are best at is this oppressive style of play, and they can't wait to push the battle line directly under the enemy's capital in a big battle. In the previous battles between the Mongolian Kublai Khan and the Ming Dynasty, they all suffered losses from this method of warfare.
