Of course, Xu Qing wouldn't really do that, he wasn't a cruel and murderous person, he just wanted to scare those handmaidens and let them concentrate on their work.

Xu Qing thought about the experience of meeting Li Xiuer and Yang Ziyan, thinking about the relationship with them that he couldn't explain, the way was unclear, the relationship was constantly cut, and the relationship was chaotic, and he was thinking about what he used as a means of livelihood and what he used as a career in the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty was the pinnacle of Chinese feudal society, the national strength and territory were unprecedentedly strong, the four seas were subdued, and the eight directions came to the dynasty, but a few decades later, the "Anshi Rebellion" will destroy all this, so that the Tang Dynasty fell into the chaos of the division of feudal towns, and the national strength weakened rapidly, and the Tang army occupied large areas of land such as the Western Regions, Mobei, and Korea occupied by the Tang army during the reign of Tang Taizong and Tang Gaozong, and the Tang army during the prosperous period of the Tang Dynasty was rapidly lost, and the Western Regions were Islamized as a whole, and the nomadic Turks and Khitans north of the Great Wall began to rebel against the Tang Dynasty after surrendering to the Tang Dynasty for a period of time. The Khitan established the Liao State after the Tang Dynasty and fought against the orthodox Song Dynasty of the Han Dynasty. It can be said that the "Anshi Rebellion" that occurred at the end of Tang Xuanzong had a very far-reaching adverse impact on all dynasties and generations of China in later generations, lasting more than a thousand years, and the affected area included almost all the countries around China in the world today.

Xu Qing is a soldier, and it is the duty of a soldier to defend the territory, and it is also the duty of a soldier to expand the territory in ancient times. The Tang Dynasty was able to create conditions and provide opportunities for soldiers to achieve great achievements such as opening up the territory and making a name for themselves in history, and establishing the great achievements of the famous generals Wei Qing and Huo Qubing of the Western Han Dynasty. If Xu Qing had not taken advantage of the good conditions and opportunities in the early Tang Dynasty to establish a meritorious career that has been praised through the ages, he would be sorry for his own crossing, sorry for what he had learned, sorry for the millions of Tang Dynasty soldiers and civilians who died at the hands of the rebels in the "Anshi Rebellion", and sorry for the thousands of Han soldiers and civilians who died under the iron cavalry of the Liao, Jin, Mengyuan, and Manchu Qing dynasties.

Thinking too much, Xu Qing couldn't sleep, thinking that there would be a competition tomorrow, and he should go to bed early, Xu Qing had to force himself to think about nothing, he tried counting down in bed, looking at the floor, tossing and turning, but it had no effect, and it was still difficult to fall asleep, and he didn't fall asleep until more than two o'clock in the morning.

At eight o'clock in the morning, after Yang Ziyan washed up, she knocked on Xu Qing's door and asked Xu Qing to eat, seeing that Xu Qing hadn't woken up yet, she asked, "What did you talk to Miss Li about last night that kept you awake all night?" ”

Xu Qing said: "It's nothing, just talk about it casually, she is a messenger of the Western * Turk * Turk and pro-Tang Dynasty, more than 200 of her subordinates are almost dead, facing the East * Turk * Turkic siege and interception, it is almost impossible to reach Chang'an, she can't complete the mission of any injury, her family will be implicated, and she may be killed by the Western * Turk * Khan, so she is very worried in her heart, her spirit is close to collapse, I am her only friend in the Tang Dynasty, I don't comfort her and no one comforts her, she has no one to rely on except me." ”

Yang Ziyan said: "If you don't say it, forget it, I'm not uncommon to know." I warn you, if you treat Miss Li as an ordinary friend, I can accept it, if you treat her as a lover, I will kill her, you can only have me alone in your heart, and there can be no other woman. ”

Xu Qing was very unhappy and said: "Yang Ziyan, you are too much, don't forget that it is you who beg me to love you, not me who begs you to love me, if you dare to touch Miss Li's hair, I will swear to you!" You want to fulfill your dreamy and beautiful vows, wait for the next life. ”

Yang Ziyan immediately deflated and said, "She can only be a concubine, not a wife like me." ”

Xu Qing said: "Whether she is a concubine or a wife, it's up to me to decide, it's not your turn to speak, otherwise you won't get anything." ”

Yang Ziyan felt very uncomfortable, but she just had a soft spot for this wish that looked beautiful but was extremely difficult to realize, she thought that Xu Qing was a precious gift from God, and she couldn't lose Xu Qing.

Xu Qing took retreat as advance, and said: "I think I'm still the best to leave, and there is no need to compete in today's competition, I'll leave immediately." I knew Miss Li before you, and fell in love with Miss Li before you, Miss Li was tolerant and generous, she didn't care that you robbed her sweetheart, and you also cared about Miss Li sharing her husband with you. To love someone is to love all of him, including his shortcomings, flowery heart is my shortcoming, Miss Li can accept it, but you can't accept it, which means that you don't love me. I think we'll forget it. Anyway, we've just started dating, and our relationship isn't deep yet. It's divided, it's not a big deal, or you'll forget it in a few days. ”

Yang Ziyan took Xu Qing's hand and said pitifully: "I beg you not to leave me, although I have only known you for two days, I have been waiting for your appearance for ten years." I waited until you appeared in my life, and I couldn't afford to lose you. Otherwise, I would never have been happy in my life. ”

Xu Qing said: "So, can you be like Miss Li, be an empathetic, gentle and kind, tolerant, virtuous and virtuous woman?" ”

Yang Ziyan said: "Yes, what's so difficult about this!" Miss Li can do it with a bearded girl, and of course I can do it. ”

Xu Qing said: "It's not so easy to be my woman, personality, appearance, family background, and martial arts must be the best choice." I have known you for a few days, if it is not my style to marry you under your pressure, if you want to marry you, first, you must do your best to help me become a big boss, second, you must prove that you are an excellent woman like Mu Guiying, and third, you must be a good woman who is empathetic, gentle and kind, tolerant and generous, virtuous and virtuous. ”

Yang Ziyan asked suspiciously, "Who is Mu Guiying?" ”

Xu Qing then remembered that Mu Guiying was a female general in the Song Dynasty in folklore, who was both civil and military, talented and beautiful, and the wife of Yang Zongbao, the general of the Yang family, was stunned for a moment, and said: "Mu Guiying is a female chivalrous guest, heroine, and female general who attaches equal importance to beauty and wisdom in ancient times, both civil and military, and both talent and appearance, and is the dream lover of all men; Although she is higher than her husband in martial arts, higher in strategy, and higher in military talent, she is very good to her husband, affectionate, and very affectionate. She led thousands of troops to fight on the battlefield, defended her family and the country, and was a man's idol and ideal wife. She is flawless and is something you can learn from and emulate. ”

Yang Ziyan said: "The ancient beauty Mu Guiying you said is so perfect, it should be very famous in history, but I have only heard of Mulan, but I have never heard of Mu Guiying." What dynasty is she from? ”

Of course, Xu Qing couldn't say that Mu Guiying was from the Song Dynasty after the Tang Dynasty, and said nonsense: "She is from my motherland, Shenzhou, 80,000 miles away, of course you haven't heard of it." ”

Yang Ziyan said curiously: "Fast horses can ride 400 miles a day, and riding a horse for a long time can travel 200 miles a day at most, and 80,000 miles will take 400 days. What are you doing so hard and running so far? I don't think you're in business, but you're an astrologer, and you've known my existence for a long time, and you know that I'm waiting for a hero to shoot down my sword and marry him, so you're not eight thousand miles away to meet me? ”

Xu Qing said: "You are so smart, it is easy to talk to you." ”

Yang Ziyan said: "Thank you for the compliment-let's eat, eat early, and there will be a competition in the morning." ”

Xu Qing said: "Okay." Call Miss Li, let's eat together, anyway, sooner or later, we'll have to eat together. ”

"Hmm." Yang Ziyan was moved by Xu Qing's sincerity in meeting her 80,000 miles away, and accepted Li Xiuer.

Li Xiu'er's anger towards Xu Qing has not subsided, but she is under the eaves, so she has to bow her head and does not refuse to have breakfast with Xu Qing and Yang Ziyan.

At the table, the three of them had their own thoughts. Xu Qing is a stunning beauty on the left, a beautiful woman on the right, and feels that the emperor is nothing more than that, thinking that this is the feeling of hugging left and right, power is a good thing, wisdom and martial arts are also good things, they can let you get many things you want, including peerless beauties.

Li Xiuer was very sad about Xu Qingen's revenge, very disgusted with Xu Qing's greed of "having Long, looking back at Shu", she didn't have a good face for Xu Qing, and ignored Yang Ziyan, because Li Xiuer didn't plan to live with Xu Qing at all, so Yang Ziyan had nothing to do with her, and she at most proved that Xu Qing was a greedy and lustful man.

Yang Ziyan looked at Li Xiu'er, who can be called a model of noble and elegant beauty, from time to time, and before she got married to Xu Qing, she thought about whether Xu Qing would love Li Xiu'er or herself after getting married, and whether she could really be a tolerant and generous woman as promised to Xu Qing. Yang Ziyan's heart is up and down, happy and worried, happy that she has been single for many years, and finally has a sense of home, and she is worried that she has always acted spontaneously and is used to being wild, can she stick to it when she becomes a lady? If you can't hold on, you may lose Xu Qing's love. Yang Ziyan has been adrift for many years, looking for and waiting for love for many years, and finally waited for Xu Qing, she can't afford to hurt her.
