Section 1 "Uncle, Hug ...... Hug ......"

Tang Wei opened his white and tender little hands, muttered with his small mouth closed one by one, and staggered towards Wu Ming step by step. Wu Ming squatted to the side with his hands open, and there was a smile on his face. Under his feet, he slowly retreated backwards, the little guy walked a few steps, saw Wu Ming's appearance, a pair of black and shiny eyes turned a few times, and suddenly pounced on Wu Ming. Wu Ming was taken aback, and in a panic, he hurriedly opened his arms and took her into his arms.

Feeling that the little guy was connected, he sighed to himself. Just as he was about to blame the other party for a few words, Nazhi Tang suddenly laughed milkily. There was an indescribable smugness in his voice. Wu Ming couldn't help but be stunned, and then smiled bitterly, it seems that he has been deceived by this little guy again, he is so smart at a young age, and he is really like her biological mother. He thought about it, looking at Tang Wei who was happy in his arms, but a trace of pain passed through his heart.

Wu Ming pinched Tang You's little face lovingly, and then hugged her. Zhu Yuqing smiled on the side: "The little guy is only less than three years old, he is such a weird elf, and he will have it when he grows up." She said, coughing softly again. Xiaohui next to her hurriedly stepped forward and carefully beat her back for Zhu Yuqing.

It's been more than two years, and the years don't seem to have left too many traces on this woman who is as clear as an orchid, and she is still so delicate and elegant. As weak as a kitten. Tang Wei opened a pair of big black grape-like eyes, looked at Zhu Yuqing crookedly, flashed his big eyes a few times, and said in a milky voice: "Auntie is not good ......" Zhu Yuqing suddenly laughed, and glanced at Wu Ming with some guilt: "Yes, Auntie is not in good health." ”

But the little guy said: "I want my aunt to be a good ......" Zhu Yuqing was also happy, stepped forward and touched her smooth forehead, and smiled: "Good, good, good." Our little Tang is worried that when she grows up, her aunt's health will be fine. Grow up. ”

As he was talking, Tang Xuan was already shouting outside: "Lord Wu, your sister-in-law has already cooked the meal, and if you don't come yet, I won't wait for you." He shouted, and someone had already burst in from the outside.

Tang Xuan already had a long beard under his chin, but the person looked much haggard. He was not yet forty years old, but gray hair appeared between his temples. Although he is nominally a household servant, everyone knows that Liu Shijie, the head of the household department, is a vegetarian meal, and he actually has the duties of the household secretary. In addition, Nanning College is also run by him. In the past few years, it can be said that I have worked hard and exhausted. This change is also normal.

Wu Ming handed Tang Wei to Xiao Hui, who was standing aside, and then said with a smile: "I don't know what my sister-in-law made delicious today." Gotta try it. ”

Tang Xuan said with a smile: "You just pretend, you are the commander of the dignified guards battalion, and you are the general of Sanpin Zhendong." It's much better than me, a poor ghost with a clean sleeve. Besides, the craftsmanship of the younger siblings is also a must, and compared with the clumsy jing, it is like an axe in the class. As he spoke, he glanced at Zhu Yuqing with a smile.

Zhu Yuqing said: "Brother Tang is making fun of people again...... a few people laughed all the way, and then walked towards the dining room. A year ago, Tang Xuan finally couldn't resist Wu Ming's repeated requests and bought this house. Stepping out of the wing, you will be greeted by a neat and clean compound. Although it is not like some rich people, rockery pavilions, small bridges and flowing water. But it is by no means as lonely and embarrassed as when I first came to Nanning a few years ago.

A few people walked through a corridor and arrived at the dining room of the Tang Mansion. Tang Xuan led everyone all the way in. Wu Ming looked at the bright window, and couldn't help but look around and sigh, "Brother Tang, this is a home." ”

"Lord Wu, I can't thank you for this." Before he could say anything, Mrs. Tang had already stepped in from outside with a wine utensil, and said, "If it weren't for your help, I don't know what the whole family would have become." She said, glancing at Tang Wei, who was yawning in Xiaohui's arms, but there was a lot of inexplicable meaning in her tone.

Contrary to Tang Xuan's thinness, Mrs. Tang was slightly fatter and whiter than before, and she looked much more graceful. Wu Ming suddenly laughed: "Sister-in-law praised it." ”

Tang Xuan sighed slightly on the side and said, "What your sister-in-law said is right, if you hadn't settled us at the beginning, I'm afraid that although the world is big now, there is no place for me to stand." ”

Wu Ming was surprised: "What did Brother Tang say, if it wasn't for what he said at the beginning, I'm afraid I would still be confused and at a loss." Although there is an element of modesty, this statement is not without purpose. When I learned that Xiao Tianzi had dropped my bag, the kind of dazed and lost was not something that pen and ink could describe. If it weren't for Tang Xuan's arrival, the two of them had a long talk, he might really be in a slump.

Tang Xuan didn't say much to him on this topic, but said, "Lord Wu, it seems that you don't know the latest developments in the Northern Han Dynasty." ”

"What's the matter?"

Wu Ming really didn't know that in the past few years, he had either practiced with his head down, or trained more than 10,000 elite soldiers under his command with Jian Feiyang and others, and rarely asked about political affairs. The well-informed Cheng dù is naturally not as good as Tang Xuan, a member of the imperial court.

Tang Xuan sighed and said, "I only recently got the news that Taiwei Li was purged in Kyoto some time ago, and the officials who had something to do with my father or Prime Minister Tao Cheng before, no matter how big or small, were all purged. Either deposed or exiled. ”

"And such a thing?" Wu Ming was taken aback. The old party of the former prime minister Tao Ren can be said to be very large, plus the protégé of Mr. Tang Ziou. In the Northern Han Dynasty, it can be said that it is a huge base. The Northern Han Dynasty has definitely changed a group of people in recent years, but it is absolutely impossible to replace all of them. Li Tie beat everyone to death with this pickpocket, aren't you afraid of an officialdom earthquake?

Thinking about it in his heart, he couldn't help but ask, "Is he Li Tie crazy?" So nonsense? ”

Tang Xuan smiled bitterly and said slowly: "Li Tie naturally can't be crazy, but there is a good saying, in troubled times, you use heavy codes to ......"

When he said it very heavily, Wu Ming couldn't help but shake his body and exclaimed, "Could it be that you say? Beihan is going to do it to us again recently? Tang Xuan shook his head and stared out the window, his eyes were a little dazed, "It's not clear if it's for us, but it's for sure." I'm afraid that after being born for so many years, the world will enter an eventful autumn again. ”

After he finished speaking, he let out another long sigh. Wu Ming was also silent. At this time, Mrs. Tang said to Tang Xuan with a little reproach: "You are really, Lord Wu and his wife finally came to our house for a meal, can't they pick something nice?" Worry about this and that every day, or worry about yourself. Look at what you've become. ”

Tang Xuan said again and again: "Yes, yes, yes." Madame taught her a great lesson. Wu Ming and his wife immediately laughed, Tang Xuan was afraid of guilt, he used to be very famous in Kyoto, and after mixing in Nanning officialdom for so many years, his reputation for fear of guilt gradually spread. Some officials even privately called him a "soft-eared servant." Fortunately, Wu Ming and his wife belong to the kind of serious characters, if it were Jian Feiyang's personality, I am afraid that they would have made fun of them in person.

However, in this world, men are inferior to women, and men are afraid of guilt, but they can be regarded as outliers. The two of them were laughing profusely. Tang Xuan said suddenly: "Lord Wu, don't just make fun of you and me, it seems that above the court, your reputation may not be much better than mine." ”

Wu Ming's smile suddenly froze on his face, and he was greatly embarrassed. Zhu Yuqing's pretty face also flew with a touch of red. Just when she was a little overwhelmed, Mrs. Tang glanced at Tang Xuan and said: "It's not serious, people like Lord Wu are deeply in love, haven't you heard that the streets and alleys are spreading 'red night is like a dragon, gentle as jade, the piano is like a jade, and it is a good match for a hundred years'." Wu Ming was cramped again, Tang Xuan and his wife laughed, in the laughter, no one noticed it, but Zhu Yuqing's face was gloomy.

Mrs. Tang relieved the siege and said: "Okay, okay, don't talk about it, just stand and talk like this, it's not good if the food is cold." Everyone sat down and talked while eating. A few people sat down, and Wu Ming poured a glass of wine for Tang Xuan and said: "Brother Tang, you have worked hard in politics in the past few years, and the household department is under your governance, which can be said to be full of treasury. I'll give you a glass first. ”

Tang Xuan took a piece of dried tofu and chewed it in his mouth, and when he heard Wu Ming say this, he was not polite, so he took the wine and took a sip. smiled: "I deserve this cup." Happily, this year's Nam Duong province will also have a bumper harvest, and grain production is expected to even surpass that of the bay. Although the land of Nanyang is fertile and the climate is warm and humid, to be able to achieve such results in such a few short years, this Sun Dudu is indeed a talent,"

Wu Ming put a piece of food in his mouth, but when he heard the words, he laughed: "'Tang Tiezui' can be praised by a few people, I think Sun Dudu must be happy when he hears it." If he hadn't been far away in Guangyang, I would have been able to introduce you both. ”

Tang Xuan smiled, didn't say anything, Zhu Yuqing said: "Ah Ming, my uncle wrote a few days ago that he might go back to Nanning recently, and if you really want to get together, it's still possible." ”

"Really?" Tang Xuan took a glass of wine and was about to send it to his mouth, when he heard the words, the glass shook, and the wine almost came out. When Wu Ming saw his appearance, he was a little confused, so he frowned and said, "Brother Tang, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Now is not the time to go back to Beijing to report on work......" Tang Xuan pinched his wine glass and replied authentically.

Wu Ming's heart sank, and he vaguely understood. Now the Southern Han Dynasty is nominally the five provinces south of the Yangtze River, but in fact, everyone knows that the real jurisdiction of the imperial court is actually only four provinces. Nanjiao was only a nominal vassal before, but now it is more independent into the Nanban Empire. It is impossible to receive a dime from there in taxes. Therefore, the actual control of the imperial court should be the four provinces in the south of the Yangtze River. Because of this, the position of the governors of these four provinces is also very important, and they are usually guarded in the provincial capital. And Nanyang has been in ruins in recent years, and Sun Yunlong will definitely not return to Nanning without special circumstances.

If something is abnormal, it must be a demon, Tang Xuan was still saying just now that this world is about to enter an eventful autumn again, it seems that it is not random speculation. Wu Ming poured a glass of wine into his mouth, and for the first time he had expectations for the war.

When he left the Tang Mansion, he was still a little unsettled. All I was thinking about was the conversation with Tang Xuan just now.

Now the imperial court can be regarded as a soldier with enough food, if you really want to use soldiers, I don't know who you will use? Southern Barbarian, Northern Han, or the Five Central and Western Provinces? Internally speaking, he still prefers to use troops against the five central and western provinces. In the dead of night, what he dreams most about is the moonlight that looks like water and tears. It's been almost four years, if it weren't for Xiao Qing, the girl in white with the pipa in her arms would have been blurred in her memory, and even the oath had become a little blurred with the passage of time.

It's early autumn, but it's still unusually hot. The two big trees outside the Tang Mansion were leafy, and there was a rustling sound when the wind blew. The yellow leaves fell with the wind and fell to the ground in a swirling way. The leaves are scorched yellow by the scorching sun, and when you step on them, they will become powder.

And on the distant horizon, a black and oppressive dark cloud gradually pressed towards the head of Nanning City.

The storm is coming.
