The clouds are treacherous 4
After such an episode in verse 12, the knots in the hearts of the two people are self-relieved. Wu Ming looked at his wife's jade-like face, and said in a low voice: "You have lost a lot of weight, don't think about it in the future, your body is not good." It's okay if he doesn't say it, as soon as he said this, Zhu Yuqing covered her mouth and coughed lightly, she took out a silk scarf and wiped her mouth, looked up at Wu Ming, but her big eyes showed a smile: "Don't worry, with you, I am not willing to die." Besides, now that the court is in trouble outside the court, and there are injustices inside, if something really goes wrong with the two of us, the entire Southern Han Dynasty will be in chaos. In this way, the sin will be great. β
Although these words were a little playful, Wu Ming's heart was shocked. In the past few days of marriage with his wife, both of them have intentionally or unintentionally avoided political topics. Wu Ming also thought that even if she knew a lot, she might have limited knowledge of the general trend of the imperial court, but now that she heard Zhu Yuqing's words, she was greatly surprised, this weak and slender woman was probably not inferior to her in terms of political views.
When she said that there was something wrong with the two of us, I am afraid it should not only refer to the physical aspect, but also the emotional aspect. She also saw the importance of this political marriage to this empire, no wonder she persuaded herself not to make a mistake just now. His hands holding his wife's body couldn't help but tighten, and he said softly: "In this case, you should relax and take care of your body more, and you should worry less about the affairs of the court." β
Zhu Yuqing let out an "oh", but still couldn't help but say: "But there are some things that really have to be in my heart, princess, what are you going to do?" β
Hearing her mention Xuanyuan Ling, Wu Ming was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Xiao Qing ......" was about to explain, Zhu Yuqing laughed out loud: "Don't worry, of course I know that you and the princess are nothing." Otherwise, the princess would not have secretly washed her face with tears. After saying that, the smile in her eyes gradually disappeared, and it was replaced by a melancholy color.
Wu Ming fixed his mind and said: "This kind of thing is not in a hurry, I am going to take some time to have a good talk with her." time, should be able to fix a qiΔ. Zhu Yuqing shook his head and said, "I'm afraid, there's not much time." β
Wu Ming was inexplicable and blurted out: "Why? β
"Nayanda, the son of Beimeng, has proposed a marriage alliance to the imperial court, and both his father and his mother have this intention."
"What?" Wu Ming exclaimed in surprise and said hurriedly: "Hasn't the Prime Minister seen that Yan Da yet?" Could it be that it has only happened in the past few days? β
Zhu Yuqing was stunned and glanced at Wu Ming a little strangely. Obviously, he didn't expect Wu Ming to be so clear about the situation in Nanning. But she still replied: "I asked my father to postpone meeting Na Yanda, and I proposed it to him." Seeing that Wu Ming was still confused, she coughed and continued: "After all, the princess has a deep relationship with you, I think it's better to wait for you to come back from the southern expedition before making a decision......
Wu Ming's heart was hot, she even thought of this possibility, her mind was really delicate. Just as he was about to say two words of thanks, Zhu Yuqing sighed and said, "Don't worry, although I have a little influence on my father, I haven't had such a big impact." In addition to taking into account your feelings, another point is to dry this Northern Mengshi first. When he is in a hurry, it will be more advantageous to negotiate this way. β
It turns out that this is the case, and now that the Southern Han Dynasty has won big victories one after another, I am afraid that they also want to use this to blackmail and let Nayan Da have more benefits. It's just that if you want Xiao Lingyuan to marry Beimeng, you will definitely not allow it. He thought about it for a while, and was about to say it again, when Lao Song outside said, "My lord, madam, the Commander's Mansion has arrived." β
Zhu Yuqing let out an "ah", let go of the hands around Wu Ming, and said with a blushing face: "I'm home, the time with you flies so fast." She straightened her slightly messy clothes and said, "Amin, let's go home and talk." β
Wu Ming answered and helped her get out of the carriage. Before his feet landed, he heard the neighing of a war horse in the distance. The sound is clear and high, and the sound is loud and loud.
Wu Ming was taken aback, and in his own mansion, he also looked south at a horse. This time in the southern expedition, because he took the waterway, he left Nanwang at home, just listening to the voice of his beloved horse, and he seemed to be very irritable in his voice. He turned his head, turned his head to Zhu Yuqing and said, "Xiaoqing, what's the matter?" β
Zhu Yuqing smiled bitterly: "You better go in and take a look yourself, I can't control your precious apprentice." β
My apprentice? That's Zhu Xiaolong. Thinking of this kid's obsession with Nanwang Cheng DΓΉ, sweat suddenly broke out on his head. Hurriedly let go of his wife's hand and strode towards the backyard of the Commander's Mansion. Just after stepping through the moon gate, I saw Nanwang being tied to a tree, and Zhu Xiaolong was setting up a stool and trying to climb towards it. Standing next to him was a large group of miscellaneous servants from the house, who were surrounded by them, sweating profusely in a hurry.
"Stop."
Wu Ming shouted angrily. Nanwang is a seventh-order horse king, and because of this, his temper is also very short-tempered. I wish Xiaolong to do this nonsense, in case it gets annoyed, I'm afraid that few people can subdue it.
Hearing Wu Ming's shout, Zhu Xiaolong hurriedly climbed down from Nanwang's back. He lowered his head and said, "Uncle Master, are you back?" β
Uncle master? What is this? This kid seems to know that he has made a mistake, and he is afraid of his own punishment, so he is already a little incoherent. Wu Ming couldn't cry or laugh, and was about to scold him twice, at this time, Nanwang had already stretched out his head and rubbed his face very affectionately, but his eyes were faintly wet in his eyes, which were bigger than copper bells. Wu Ming couldn't care less about scolding Zhu Xiaolong, hugged the horse's head with his backhand, and muttered, "Man, I've wronged you." β
After capturing Guangyang, although Zhu Yulong equipped everyone in the guard battalion with war horses, they were all ordinary goods, and some were not even horses. Compared with the king of horses like Nanwang, it is even more difficult to beat the horse. "It is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift", this sentence may also apply to his current situation. He was accustomed to the Shenjun of Nanwang, and asked him to ride those ordinary war horses again, but he was really not used to it.
Nan Wangchang neighed, and the thick horse's head arched towards Zhu Xiaolong. In that way, it is like a wronged child complaining to an adult. Wu Ming patted its shiny horse body and said with a smile: "Okay, don't be cheap and sell well, look at yourself, you have gained weight in the past few months, how embarrassed will I take you out to meet people when the time comes." β
He turned his head and said to Zhu Xiaolong, who was staying aside, "Xiaolong, this is all your masterpiece, right?" Zhu Xiaolong raised his head and was about to argue. At this time, Zhu Yuqing had already stepped into the inner courtyard with the support of the two maids, and said with a red face: "This can't all be blamed on Xiaolong, your baby horse eats a lot, I haven't seen you for a few days, it is very short-tempered, and the groom invited by the family dare not touch it, let alone pull it out to walk the horse." I can only keep it in a stable, so I'm a little fatter. β
Is it a little fat? Wu Ming looked at Nan Wang's chubby, round body, and couldn't cry or laugh. But thinking that what his wife said was indeed reasonable, it was not easy to be harsh. He said to Zhu Xiaolong: "Xiaolong, don't force Nanwang in the future, it's not a joke for King Ma to go crazy." β
Zhu Xiaolong was greatly aggrieved: "Master, you have forgotten what you promised me, right?" β
"What's the matter?"
"What about the archerman you promised me? Forgot about jΓ¬ so quickly. β
Wu Ming's heart moved, and he naturally didn't forget it. But in the past, there was no suitable person, Yang Jun and Kaier were good, but the identities of the two were suspicious before, and now they are confirmed to be Beimeng Wolf Guard. Although he believes in the two of them, others don't necessarily think so, and I wish Xiaolong to follow them to learn art, and I am indeed a little uneasy. However, there is a ready-made one now, and that is Jian Feiyang. It's just that Jian Feiyang is still training soldiers and horses in Guangyang, and he can't get out of it for a while. Thinking of this, he smiled and said, "The master has a ready-made one, but it's ......."
Just wanted to say that this master was afraid that it would take a while to teach him, Zhu Xiaolong had already clapped his hands and jumped: "Okay, let him teach me, I can also learn the most exquisite riding skills, tame this violent guy, and then go into battle to kill the enemy like a master." β
Wu Ming suddenly groaned, feeling that this kid had always thought that Nanwang disobeyed him to ride because of his poor riding skills. It's not that simple to just tame a horse king. He hurriedly said, "Xiaolong, your main focus now should be on your studies, instead of fighting and killing all day long." When you learn a skill, you will naturally have a day to show your strengths. β
Zhu Xiaolong muttered, "When I grow up, the bad guys will be killed by you." β
Wu Ming smiled bitterly: "That's so fast." Before he finished speaking, Zhu Xiaolong had already shouted: "I also said, in less than three months, Nanyang Province will be pacified, at this rate, when I graduate from the academy, I will have no part in it." β
Zhu Xiaolong should be fourteen years old this year, and when he graduates from Nanning College, he should be seventeen years old. According to the imperial court regulations, seventeen years old is the age when you are just able to join the army. This time to pacify Guangyang, there are really too many luck elements. If we really want to put an end to this troubled era, how can it be calmed down in just three years?
This kind of pessimistic argument is not easy for him to say more to Zhu Xiaolong, patted Zhu Xiaolong on the shoulder, sighed and said: "Even if the world is calm, if you don't learn your skills well, it will be difficult to gain a foothold." Don't think about this and that all day, can you finish your homework today? Didn't you take advantage of the prime minister's busyness and sneak out again, right? β
Hearing Wu Ming say this, Zhu Xiaolong's face changed slightly. He looked up at the sky and exclaimed, "Oh, master, I'll come to play with you another day, I have to go back first today." As he spoke, he grabbed the clothes he had put aside, and ran out in a panic. panicked, several servants of the Prime Minister's Mansion shouted all the way, and they also chased after them with sweat.
It seems that this kid really ran away. Watching him gradually drift away, he was silently praying in his heart: "Hopefully, when Xiaolong graduates, there will be no war in the world." β
