Qin Baichuan went to the upper room under the leadership of the shopkeeper, and Qin Baichuan, who was physically and mentally exhausted, gave the shopkeeper a piece of silver, and asked him to help buy a few sets of new clothes, and by the way, he called for bath water to wash away his fatigue. Qin Baichuan made a generous move, and the shopkeeper served before and after the saddle, stirring the stove in the room extremely prosperous, and then closed the door for Qin Baichuan.

After soaking comfortably in the hot bath for half an hour, he came out of the tub in fear when the shopkeeper returned with his new clothes. As soon as I put on my clean underwear, there was a knock at the door. Qin Baichuan didn't think much about it, and subconsciously said "Come in", then he heard the sound of the door, and Meng Xiaoling said "ah", as if he wanted to close the door in a hurry.

Qin Baichuan turned around, but saw Meng Xiaoling hurriedly turn around, stretching out his hand to block Luo Yuan's sight. Qin Baichuan felt funny and said, "Sister Meng, no need. Well...... Steward Luo is his own person. ”

"Your own people?" Meng Xiaoling's body shook slightly, with puzzlement between her eyebrows, and then she seemed to understand, and a faint bitterness flashed in the depths of her eyes, but it quickly disappeared. She calmly put down her hands that were blocking Luo Yuan's gaze, and said softly: "I just said that the prime minister asked me why I asked Luo Guan to go forward to pass the word, so it turned out that this was the case...... I guess...... You've been together since you were in Anyang, right? ”

"Xiaoling, listen to me......" Luo Yuan didn't expect Qin Baichuan to confess so frankly, and he took Meng Xiaoling's hand and was about to speak.

"Steward Luo, you don't have to say anything." Contrary to Luo Yuan's expectations, Meng Xiaoling seemed to accept this reality quickly: "If you really like Xianggong, it's too late for me to be happy, where do you need to explain to me?" Don't be too happy, I'll pass the door before you, and it stands to reason that you have to call me my sister. ”

"I'll just say that you think too much, Baichuan hasn't said let me pass the door, now it's just my wishful thinking." There was a hint of bitterness at the corner of Luo Yuan's mouth, if Qin Baichuan didn't have to leave Jiangling, if he could live like this with them all the time, what was so difficult about calling Meng Xiaoling a sister?

"Can you come in and talk? Close the door. Qin Baichuan had just put on his underwear, Meng Xiaoling stuck out her tongue at Luo Yuan, hurriedly ran to Qin Baichuan's side, picked up the robe and put it on Qin Baichuan gently. Although she has never taken a critical step with Qin Baichuan, Meng Xiaoling is a legal concubine, so she has no shyness at all to do these things. It was Luo Yuan, whose relationship with Qin Baichuan was unclear, and he couldn't enter or retreat, so he had to look at the two of them awkwardly showing their affection sweetly.

"Guest officer, the food and drinks are ready, do you want to send them?" Qin Baichuan had just put on his clothes, and the shopkeeper knocked on the door to say goodbye, and saw that there were two more beautiful women in the room, and the shopkeeper was well-informed, and smiled meaningfully at Qin Baichuan, as if he was envious of him being able to sit and enjoy the blessings of all people.

Qin Baichuan nodded, the shopkeeper left quickly, and a table of dishes full of color and flavor was sent to the room in a short time. Qin Baichuan sat in the center, Luo Yuan and Meng Xiaoling were left and right, originally Qin Baichuan also asked the monkey to come up together, but the monkey refused, and ate something casually below.

"Xianggong, I'm really a little curious, when did you and Manager Luo get together?" Meng Xiaoling hadn't seen Qin Baichuan for a long time, and she talked happily for a while, and finally led the topic to Luo Yuan.

"In Anyang, when Li Mingxiu designed to lead Baichuan to Huangshi Island." Anyway, the relationship has been made public, and with a little drunkenness, Luo Yuan told Meng Xiaoling everything that happened in Anyang. Their story is not particularly complicated, but when he heard that Qin Baichuan did not hesitate to fight with his life in order to save Luo Kite, Meng Xiaoling seemed to feel a little empathetic, and her eyes turned red at that time.

"Xianggong is like this, usually his mouth is angry and annoying, but if something really happens to the people around him, he always cares about the cost and the consequences. As women, we can get such mercy from our husbands, and I don't know if it is a blessing that we have cultivated for several lifetimes. Meng Xiaoling wiped the corners of her eyes, and a smile bloomed on her face: "Manager Luo, I was joking with you before, when did you pass the door, you will be a concubine, and I will be a girl in the room for you." ”

"In terms of age, you are also older, don't say that I haven't passed the door, even if I pass the door, I have to call you sister." Meng Xiaoling's tolerance made Luo Yuan's heart also feel a little warm, she was both happy and lost: "I'll talk about these things later, Sister Meng, Baichuan asked me to call you over today, I have something to tell you." ”

"Isn't that your business?" Meng Xiaoling nodded and said, "You and Xianggong are in love, of course I agree." Why, Steward Luo, you don't believe me? ”

"That's not it." Luo Yuan looked at Qin Baichuan with an inquiring gaze, and after he nodded, Luo Yuan said: "Baichuan will leave Jiangling tomorrow, and it may take three or five months to come back, or it may not be seen for three or five years." ”

"Xianggong, are you leaving?" The dish that Meng Xiaoling had just picked up fell on the table at once.

"Sister Meng, listen to me." Qin Baichuan didn't plan to tell Meng Xiaoling the truth, so he avoided the important and said lightly: "I have always had a good relationship with Lord Lu, but now Lord Lu has encountered some difficulties, and it is inconvenient for him to come forward, so I can only do it for me." ”

"Xianggong, you are neither an official nor a big official, Master Lu has a lot of capable people, why did he send you?" Meng Xiaoling said puzzled.

"Because I'm good at business." Qin Baichuan said half-truthfully: "I think you also know that after Chinese New Year's Eve, the imperial court encouraged the private army of the people, and even I pulled up a team, so I thought that if I went to war with the barbarians after the autumn, I would also make meritorious achievements." This is where the problem arises, although my Bliss Army is beginning to take shape, but it lacks actual combat experience, I plan to take them around and cooperate with the North County Sergeant to exterminate the bandits. ”

"Xianggong, are you going to war?" Meng Xiaoling's face turned pale suddenly, and then she understood why Luo Yuan said that Qin Baichuan may not come back when, fighting has always been the most variable, everyone is happy if they fight well, and they can die on the spot if they make a mistake.

"It's not accurate to say that it's a war, it's mainly about military training." Qin Baichuan said with relief: "There is a great song forbidden army coming out, I am just waving the flag and shouting in the back." ”

"On the battlefield, the sword has no eyes, the defeat is like a mountain, even if it is a flag and shouting, there is a risk." Meng Xiaoling shook her head stubbornly and prayed: "Xianggong, can you not go?" ”

"Lord Lu personally gave the order, and it is unlikely that he will not go." Qin Baichuan shook his head: "Besides, you also know that when Duke Desheng was dying, he entrusted his family to me, and left me a lot of property in Anyang, which is all silver for nothing, how can I abandon it?" ”

"But ......"

"Sister Meng, let me say two words." Luo Yuan raised his wine glass and drank with Meng Xiaoling before helping Qin Baichuan open his mouth and persuade: "Maybe every man has a bit of a plot in his heart, and Baichuan is no exception. Now the Da Song barbarians are eyeing each other, Baichuan pulls a team with the heart of serving the country, and the original intention of protecting relatives and friends from harm, we don't understand these things as women, in my opinion, silently support him, what do you think? ”

"Steward Luo, I don't understand what you're talking about. All I know is that anything can happen on the battlefield, in case ...... justice."

"Phew, crow's mouth." Luo Yuan interrupted Meng Xiaoling's words: "Think about it, since Baichuan started from Jiangling, are the people who embarrass him okay?" At the beginning, when Baichuan didn't know anyone, he was still able to turn the danger into a disaster, but now that Lord Lu and the entire Beijun are behind him, what danger can he not do? Take a step back and say, even if this trip is dangerous every step of the way, don't you know his temperament, and you want to stop it? ”

Thinking about Qin Baichuan's temper, Meng Xiaoling was suddenly speechless, and she suddenly found that she was not as good as Luo Yuan when she understood Qin Baichuan. Biting his lip slightly: "You're right, but Xianggong...... I won't stop you if you insist on leaving, but I hope you can stay. ”

"The arrow is on the bow, and it has to be sent." Qin Baichuan shook his head and said tentatively: "Sister Meng, when I go out to exterminate the Liukou, I will definitely offend many enemies...... I'm afraid that someone will come to Gangneung to ask you for trouble, do you think we can have a discussion? I'll leave a letter of resignation, and you will take it out as a talisman when necessary? ”

"Xianggong, what do you mean by that?" Meng Xiaoling's hands trembled violently, and her voice choked: "Did I do something wrong, and you want to divorce me?" What the hell did I do wrong, you tell me, can I change careers? Xianggong, please, don't ......"

"Sister Meng, it's not what you think." Qin Baichuan grabbed Meng Xiaoling's little hand: "I said it, I may offend many enemies here, for your safety......"

"I am the concubine of the Xianggong, the enemy of the Xianggong is my enemy, if it is my honor to die for the Xianggong, how can I escape?" Meng Xiaoling shook her head decisively: "If the Xianggong doesn't mean to divorce me, don't mention this matter again, if the Xianggong insists on divorce me, I will leave Jiangling and never see the Xianggong again." ”

"Come back." After Meng Xiaoling finished speaking, she got up and was about to leave, but Qin Baichuan pulled her back and sat down, and said with a wry smile: "I'm just asking for your opinion, if you don't want to, forget it." But you have to promise me, if someone really makes trouble for you after I leave, you go to Liu Yuanyuan from Wangjiang Tower, and she will arrange it for you, understand? ”

"As long as I don't stop me, I can do anything." With the joy of the rest of his life on his face, Meng Xiaoling grabbed Qin Baichuan's big hand tightly, and said in a voice like a mosquito: "Xianggong...... You're leaving tomorrow, aren't you? It's rare for Luo to be here today, why don't I be your officiant, can you worship here? Speaking of which, we haven't been married yet, after you and Steward Luo visited the church, our sisters and second sisters served you once, okay? ”

"Huh?" Luo Yuan made a big red face, and the two impure words "double flying" suddenly popped up in Qin Baichuan's mind. Licking his lips slightly, Da Song women are like this, when they don't get married, they pay attention to whether men and women give or receive kisses, but after getting married, they are more open than modern women.
