Section XIX

By the time everyone returned to Hanshui City, it was already dawn.

As soon as he arrived at the central square, He Yi greeted him accompanied by two Bailing Sect members. She looked haggard and had dark circles under her eyes, and she looked like she hadn't slept all night. Wu Ming was distressed: "Xiaoyi, you just gave birth, so let's go back to Nanning to rest first, if it goes on like this, I'm worried that your body won't be able to bear it." ”

He Yi shook his head and said, "Brother Wu, did General Yang agree to secondment grain?" ”

Wu Ming also shook his head: "If it's really Brother Yang, then it's easy to say, but now the grain is tightly controlled by Zuo Ying." With my relationship with him, even if I used to adjust food, I am afraid that I would only touch a nose of dust. ”

"Little Shadow?" He Yi muttered: "General Yang is the commander of the army, how could the food fall into his hands?" ”

He Yi ran to Hanshui early yesterday morning to relieve the refugees, so she didn't know about Zuo Ying's promotion to prime minister. As soon as Wu Ming told her about this, He Yi said: "If you don't seconded military rations to help emergencies, then the people of Hanshui will have no way to live." Xiaoying must also understand this kind of reasoning, I will go to her during the day to talk to her, I think he will agree. ”

Will Left Shadow agree? If you go to her by yourself, it will definitely be no fun, but if it is Xiaoyi, it will be difficult to say. However, Zuo Ying's personality has changed greatly, and if the Queen Mother does not agree, he may not have the courage to open a granary privately. Remembering that Zuo Ying was obsessed with He Yi, Wu Ming didn't feel good in his heart, and wanted to stop it, but after thinking about it, he still didn't speak. It's good to let Xiaoyi go to see Zuo Ying, there are some things, it's better to be sparse. The relationship between two people cannot be maintained by blindly embankment. After all, Xiaoyi is the master of a sect, and it is a matter of course to see the power of the subordinate for the matter of adjusting food. If you don't even have this amount of belly, it's too small.

Wu Ming thought for a while and said: "It's okay, I'll go back to Nanning later, meet the Queen Mother, and see if I can get her to agree, let's go both ways, and the chances of success are greater." ”

Thinking that her husband is in charge of several provinces, she is even more of a national prince. Now that he is running up and down for himself for the sake of refugees, begging people everywhere, He Yi is also uneasy, and said softly: "Brother Wu, thank you." ”

Wu Ming stroked her haggard face, and said softly: "What do you say, I just hate that this place is not Chinese and Western, otherwise I won't embarrass you because of a few grains of grain." ”

He put his left hand on his chest, his eyes still staring at He Yidao: "Do things with your heart, be a person with your true colors, I just want to have a clear conscience, so don't thank me." ”

He Yi's eyes were red, he lowered his delicate white neck, and said in a low voice: "Brother Wu, do you know?" Sometimes I think, God was fair to me, He gave me a difficult childhood, but in the darkest time of my life, let me meet you and give me a different husband. So Xiaoyi is very fortunate to be able to meet like-minded you in her lifetime. ”

The husband and wife were talking, when Esther came from afar, and said as she ran: "Brother Amin, the Queen Mother is here, and she is furious at the south gate." ”

Because of her good skills, she and Rayfield have been close to each other recently, and they have become friends who talk about everything, and when they returned to the city, the two were delayed on the way, so Esther only arrived now. Wu Ming turned around, looked at her and said, "The Queen Mother is here?" Any idea why she's angry? ”

Esther shook her head and said, "I don't know, it's said to be for Lu Shilang." ”

Lu Fang? Didn't Lu Fang go to ask the Queen Mother for Bai Lan's business? Could something have changed? As soon as he heard her say this, Wu Ming could still stand there, and hurriedly rushed towards the south gate. When she arrived at the destination, she saw the Queen Mother standing at the door with a frosty face, surrounded by a large group of people, and Lu Fang knelt in front of her and begged: "Niangniang, Tao Hubu is just a small injury, and it is not a big problem, I hope you will open the net and forgive Bai Lan this time." ”

Wu Ming's heart sank, could it be that Bai Lan hurt Tao Ziqian? He hurriedly squeezed in and saluted the Queen Mother: "Niangniang." ”

Seeing Wu Ming, the queen looked even more ugly, and shouted: "Dingguo Gong came just in time, the palace was about to announce that you were coming, but you came." Is there still a court in the eyes of your Chinese and Western soldiers? That hurt my uncle, I went to arrest her, and it was Lu Hui who took the lead in resisting, and I was really angry with the palace. ”

Lu Hui was deeply appreciated by the Queen Mother because of the Lantern Festival Rebellion, otherwise, with his respect for the Queen Mother, how could he name and call out the name of a pro-soldier captain. Wu Ming looked around, but he didn't see Lu Hui's shadow, and his heart was even tighter, and he hurriedly said, "I don't know where Lu Hui is now?" I still hope that Niangniang will announce it, maybe there will be some misunderstandings in the middle. ”

The Queen Mother snorted angrily: "What else can there be any misunderstanding?" That hurt her uncle, and the palace sent someone to arrest her, and Lu Hui desperately guarded it, saying that without your order, no one should act rashly. Grandpa Guo, it's really a big pomp and aura, under the military order, the Chinese and Western soldiers look directly at the will of the palace as nothing, and it is majestic enough! ”

Speaking of this, she sneered again and again.

By now, Wu Ming probably understood the cause and effect of the incident. It must have been Tao Ziqian who coveted Bai Lan's beauty and did something to him, but the latter was not angry and hurt him. Then he alarmed the Queen Mother and led the troops to arrest Bai Lan, Lu Hui resisted desperately and touched the Queen Mother's scales. Wu Ming's head was big for a while, and he said stubbornly: "I don't know how Tao Hubu is injured?" If it's really a fur injury, I hope that the mother will open the net. ”

"Fur wounds?" The Queen Mother said with a sharp voice: "The left chest was cut with a big cut, could it be a fur injury?" The imperial doctor said that if you go a little further to the right, my brother's life will be gone, so how can this palace open up? ”

It's a dead knot. Looking at the sunken face of the queen, Wu Ming didn't know how to start. At this time, Lu Fang kowtowed and said: "The minister is willing to exchange Bai Lan's life for the position of the waiter of the Ministry of Works, and I hope that the mother will be fulfilled." ”

Now the entire Southern Han Dynasty is the queen mother, and it is naturally not uncommon to take the position of a waiter in the Ministry of Industry, and the meaning of Lu Fang's words is that if the court does not let Bai Lan go, he will resign from his official position.

As soon as he said this, Wu Ming was also a little surprised. couldn't help but glance at Lu Fang, and saw him looking up at the Queen Mother, his lips pursed, but his eyes were resolute. He has always been an official fan, and he has taken it as his responsibility to glorify the lintel of the Lu family, but now for the sake of Bailan, he doesn't even want the post of a waiter in the Ministry of Works. It seems that Lu Fang is really sincere to Bai Lan.

He didn't say that it was okay, but when he said that the Queen Mother was even more angry, he sneered: "What, what Lu Shilang means, if the palace doesn't do it, he will hang up and leave, are you threatening the palace?" ”

Lu Fangfu said: "The minister doesn't dare." ”

The Queen Mother flicked her sleeves, turned around and said: "Under the whole world, it is not the king's land." On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister. Those of you who are courtiers are proud of your achievements at the slightest achievement, and you have forgotten these words completely. Could it be that this court stopped functioning without someone? Hongu still doesn't believe it. ”

As she spoke, she had already turned around and left, and said as she walked: "Immediately notify Commander Yang, General Zhuge , Governor of Chu and others, and let them come to the Hanshui Governor's Mansion to discuss the continuation of the Northern Expedition and the dispatch of troops to the Qinglu Mountains." ”

The Queen Mother traveled, and the pomp was amazing. When she boarded the imperial chariot carried by the eight people, she suddenly turned her head to Wu Ming and said, "Guogong, although Lu Hui led the troops to resist, he knew the severity very well and did not hurt anyone. This palace doesn't care about you anymore, and someone will release him later. Recently, the west has not been very peaceful, so you should go back to China and the West as soon as possible. The palace doesn't want you, the captain of the guard, to be a third guest in the imperial palace. ”

Speaking of this, she glanced at Lu Fang, who was still kneeling on the ground: "As for that, who hurt Uncle Guo, she can't let it go no matter what, otherwise, where is the king's law?" ”

Seeing that the Queen Mother nodded, the little pillar shook off the dust and said loudly: "The Queen Mother drove the Governor's Mansion, and the idle people avoided it." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a large group of eunuchs and palace maids guarded the royal chariot and walked away. When they were far away, Wu Ming walked up to Lu Fang and said softly: "Lu Shilang, get up, the Queen Mother is gone." ”

Lu Fang stood up suddenly, threw the official hat on his head to the ground, and said: "This Laoshizi's waiter, Lao Tzu doesn't do it, he can't even protect a woman, this waiter still has a hairy meaning to do it?" Fuck, who will call me Lu Shilang in the future, Lao Tzu and who are in a hurry. ”

He was so angry that his voice changed. seemed to feel particularly puzzled, rushed a few steps, kicked the official hat out of the distance, and said: "Grandpa, I will be mixed with you in the future." "Tao Yu, you dead mother-in-law will regret it, you wait for me." He looked up and shouted at the vanished Imperial Rim.
