Gathering Clouds 8 Verse 19
When he came out of the Prime Minister's Mansion in the eighteenth section, Wu Ming still felt a little incredible. I thought that even if I didn't tear my face on the spot with Zhu Huai this time, I was afraid it would be very unpleasant, but I didn't expect to pass the test so easily.
It was almost dusk, the sun was about to set, and the slanting sun was peaceful everywhere. The soldiers patrolling the streets were also talking. The news of the arrival of the water army in the city must have spread throughout Nanning, not only the soldiers, but even the citizens who went out were covered with a layer of melancholy.
When he returned to the Guards Palace, he saw two guards battalion soldiers standing at the door from a distance, and one of them turned out to be Lin Wu. The guards battalion must be rotated below, which was proposed by Yang Xiong, and Wu Ming also felt that this move was quite good, so he agreed. Probably today it was Lin Wu's turn to rotate.
When they walked to the door, Lin Wu and another warrior saluted at the same time, and then said, "My lord, is that fire-breathing boat really powerful?" Or you can tell us more about it later. "Wu Ming had already mentioned the matter of the fire-breathing boat when he came back to change his clothes halfway, and he was in a hurry at that time, so he didn't say much to them. After Yang Xiong came back, he must have also said the situation at that time, and it is estimated that the Guards Battalion has also spread now.
Wu Ming nodded and said, "Yes, I'll talk about this tomorrow." Wu Ming turned over and looked south, and Lin Wu stepped forward to hold the horse. Suddenly, he smiled: "My lord, the princess came in the afternoon, and she hasn't left yet." You came back just in time. ”
It's really not the right time to come back, Wu Ming smiled bitterly. After Xuanyuan Ling moved out of the Songzi Temple, he could almost be said to be avoiding her, but fortunately, this little Nizi has been pestering Lei Fei'er to practice swordsmanship every day recently, but he didn't bother Wu Ming much, and he was also happy. However, why hasn't this little girl left today?
Wu Ming said: "Got it." "It's not always a way to avoid the other party like this, you have to face it. If you dodge yourself, it will be even more contrary to the original intention of being above board. Thinking of this, he turned his head to Lin Wu and said, "I'll go in now, you take my horse down, and someone will take good care of it." Remember to use good beans and take a shower. ”
Lin Wu agreed and went happily. Nanwang looks quite a miracle horse, and he can understand people's words. Most of the people in the camp like to be close to it. Wu Ming didn't hire a special groom, and many times he took care of it himself. to increase the emotion between the two. Many in the army also took pleasure in taking care of the king of horses.
When I walked into the courtyard, I saw a large group of female warriors gathering around the martial arts training ground in the courtyard. Chirping and talking about something, from time to time to turn heads. Although Yang Xiong's rectification of military discipline was quite effective, once idle, these female warriors were still much more active than other warriors. It's evening, and I'm afraid today's routine training has long since ended. I don't know what they're doing together.
However, Lin Wu said that Xuanyuan Ling was in the Guard Palace today, and these female warriors should know. Ask them for sure. Wu Ming walked towards them. Before he got closer, he heard Zhang Yu laugh crisply: "Ha, the Lord Commander is here." "The words are very playful.
Wu Ming looked up and saw a large group of female warriors turning their heads to look over. One of them smiled petitely: "Ah, don't tell Lan Mei to stop, the commander will be unhappy when he sees it." ”
Most of the female warriors of the Guards Battalion are relatively young. After all, once a little older. I must have started a family a long time ago. Once a woman has a family, she is no better than a man, and she must stay at home and raise her husband and children. When the guards battalion was screened, there was no limit to the number of female warriors, but it was only a little more than a hundred, and the female body element was one thing, and this was also an important reason.
Even these more than 100 female warriors were made up by Lei Fei'er with a lot of effort.
Wu Ming was puzzled and walked over in a few steps. They suddenly dispersed. I saw Xuanyuan Ling competing with a female warrior in a red power suit. Xuanyuan Ling wore a tight-fitting suit today. But it's light blue. He had long hair and no jewelry. The face is also not powdered, and it looks more beautiful and refreshing.
At this time, she was holding a thin sword and stabbing at the female warrior named Lan Mei. This sword is used with all its might, and it looks a little powerful. Everyone in the audience shouted, "Okay." After shouting, they looked at Wu Ming with a smile. Wu Ming saw it clearly on the side, this sword was full of loopholes, and the strength in his hand was not enough, if he was himself, he could squint his eyes and dodge. The martial artists of the Guards Battalion are at least three stages, and it is easy to dodge this blow. Knowing that his thoughts had not fallen, he suddenly heard an exclamation. That Lan Mei took several steps back, and the long sword in her hand also fell to the dust. Her face was full of panic, and she saluted: "The princess is really powerful, Sister Lan can't resist it, and admits defeat." As she spoke, a pair of eyes glanced at Wu Ming.
Wu Ming was angry and funny, Xuanyuan Ling was only a paragraph, and that bit of true qi was still piled up by Emperor Han Ming with medicinal materials when he was a child. The swordsmanship used is also specious, and it is all showcase. These people are probably afraid that I will be angry, but they are also doing too fake. Sure enough, Xuanyuan Ling threw the sword aside and pouted, "Don't play, you all let me, so I can't see if I've made progress at all." I'll go to my brother tomorrow. ”
Now that Prince Xuanyuan is no longer there, the brother in her mouth naturally refers to herself. Wu Ming coughed and said, "Xiaoling, what are you doing?" ”
Xuanyuan Ling turned his head, his big eyes showed joy, and he smiled playfully: "Ah, you are here, come and guide me to practice swords." At this time, when he was close, Wu Ming found that this little girl was pale, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, he couldn't help frowning, and said distressedly: "Look at you, it's all like this, don't wipe it quickly." ”
Xuanyuan Ling stretched out his long neck and leaned in front of him: "You help me wipe it." ”
A trace of warmth passed through Wu Ming's heart, when he was in Kyoto before. This little girl is tired of playing, and she has to help her wipe her sweat every time, this coquettish appearance is so similar to before. It seems that she has almost recovered from the shadows of her past. He thought about it, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and rolled up his sleeves to cover her smooth forehead, rubbing it.
Xuanyuan Ling's eyes suddenly turned red, and he suddenly said, "Brother, you haven't come to see me for a long time." I thought you didn't care about me anymore. Wu Ming's heart was pricked with a needle, and his hand involuntarily stopped. He sighed and said, "How could it be, Xiao Ling. I will always be your brother. ”
Xuanyuan Ling turned from worry to joy. He stepped forward and hugged him, and murmured, "Then you have to promise me that you will come to see me often in the future, and you will not avoid me anymore." I'll never force you to marry me again, okay? ”
All around were the female warriors of the guard battalion, and these people suddenly made a "boom" and ran clean in an instant. After a while, the entire martial arts arena was just him and Xuanyuan Ling. Wu Ming was greatly embarrassed, and quickly changed his words and said, "What are you doing so hard to practice swords?" Watch out for your body. ”
Xuanyuan Ling crawled out of his arms, looked around in surprise, and said, "Why did they all run away?" Is there something wrong with us? Suddenly, she suddenly seemed to remember something, her face turned red, and she muttered: "I said that you are married without pestering your brother, why are they still like this, it's really strange." ”
Wu Ming felt a big headache, this marriage matter, how could you say it so simply. But this also made him secretly relieved, it seems that this little girl is currently dependent on herself, and she is really careful. He thought in his heart, and couldn't help asking, "Xiaoling, how old are you this year?" ”
Xuanyuan Ling was stunned, but still replied obediently: "It's seventeen this year." ”
Wu Ming sighed and said: "Don't work so hard in the future, even if you are like this, I'm afraid it will be ......" He originally wanted to say that even if Xuanyuan Ling worked so hard, I am afraid it would be difficult to make a difference. But as soon as he said this, he saw that the other party was already in tears, and his pretty face was also dimmed. Hurriedly stopped talking and exclaimed, "What's wrong?" ”
"Brother, the country is broken like this, why do you want to be at home. What I said last time wasn't exactly angry. Old thief Li ruined my family, I must kill this person and avenge this blood revenge for my brother and father. ”
When she said this, she gritted her teeth and clenched her two pink fists. There was hatred in his eyes. Wu Ming was also taken aback, he didn't expect this little girl's hatred to be so deep. and the delicate and agile appearance just now. Thinking of Tao Yu's transformation, he couldn't help but be startled, and said, "Xiaoling, as long as you are happy, my brother will help you deal with these things." ”
Xuanyuan Ling's stubborn temperament was committed again, and he pouted: "I will take revenge with my own hands...... The two were arguing, Lin Wu suddenly ran in, and bowed slightly embarrassedly: "My lord, there is a person dressed as a businessman outside, saying that he is your old friend, and wants to invite you to Baihe Tower for a gathering." ”
"Old friends? A gathering of the Hundred Crane Tower? Missing. ”
Wu Ming categorically refused without thinking about it, after the establishment of the Southern Han Dynasty, although his leadership position was only regularized and his grade was not promoted, he got the right to open the government and build a government. What is the opening of the government? That is, officials can be appointed and dismissed freely. And in the future it will be able to develop the army on its own. The commander of this guard battalion is so young, he must have a bright future. Once you get stammered, maybe you can send a relative or nephew to be an official and go through the back door. At least you can mix your face well, and if you have something in the future, you can talk about it. These days, the people who came to invite him, the commander of the guard battalion, to dinner have gone to the sea, and Wu Ming has not seen any of them. Even Boss Zhao of this Hundred Crane Tower once handed over a gilded greeting post, hoping that this new commander would give him a face and go to his Hundred Crane Tower to disturb him.
Lin Wu's face showed embarrassment, and he said, "My lord, this is an old friend you met in Kyoto, so I have to see you." ”
An old friend from Kyoto? Could it be that Lin Xiaoshui ran over? That's impossible, he's poor now, how can he look like a businessman. But who else could there be but him? No matter how much he wanted to break his head, he couldn't think of a reason. At this time, someone outside suddenly said in a loud voice: "Lord Wu, Hu came from afar, but you closed the door and didn't accept it, it's really not a way of hospitality." ”
The man's words were not loud, but the words were sonorous, and every word was as clear as if it were spoken in the ear. The sweat on Lin Wu's forehead came out again. He had actually stopped this person just now, but the other party had not made a move, and the two guards behind him were very tight, he went to block it, and he was defeated in the opponent's hands after only two rounds, thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel ashamed, and said in his heart: "I will definitely be scolded by the commander in the future." ”
