Section II

The distance from Shacheng to Nanning is thousands of miles, and it takes several months for ordinary people to ride horses. But it took less than a month, and although he was light, he did not know how many horses he had killed. Wu Ming was moved in his heart and said, "General Yeli, thank you, go back and thank Governor He for me, old lady." ”

Ye Lihe still smiled and said: "Thank you don't have to, everyone is a family, the little boy is so cute, the governor and the old lady see it, I don't know how happy they will be." ”

There are a lot of things in the car, most of them are children's supplies, and sending such things all the way is indeed a bit of a waste of labor and money, but after all, this represents a distraction from He Xiaotian and his wife, but Wu Ming is not good at saying anything, only moved. At this time, He Yi had finished moving things and was distributing red envelopes to several workers, seeing that those people were gone, Wu Ming saw the beads of sweat on her sideburns, and said with some distress: "These things, you just call someone to do them, why did you run out alone?" You just came out of the moon today, you have to pay attention to your body. ”

He Yi shook his head and said, "Zhu Mi is a piece of his parents' heart, how can he treat it casually?" Besides, General Yeli came all the way, how could I avoid it. ”

Seeing that Wu Ming's face was still full of worry, He Yi blushed and said angrily: "Okay, although I have just given birth, my body is many times better than before, so you can put your heart in your stomach." ”

After Zhu Yuqing let go of his heart, the dead wood gong was implemented among Wu Ming's wives and concubines, this ** adjustment of yin and yang, although the name is gong, in fact, most of the health care is just needed to be assisted by men and women. He Yizi has also learned, although he can't become a martial artist in one leap, but his physical function is much better than before, which is a fact.

After the goods were finished, piling them outside was not a solution, so Hei Er acted as a housekeeper and commanded a large group of people to move these things to the inner room. He Yi took out a couplet from it and said: "Brother Wu, let's hang this up, it is said that my father wrote it himself." ”

"Governor Ho wrote?"

Wu Ming's heart moved, in recent years, he has been diligent in calligraphy, and he has written perfectly with a brush, and he has gradually entered a better situation, which can be described as a very high vision. It is said that words are like people, how a person's words are, you can generally see the mood and character of this person, since it was written by He Xiaotian, then you have to look at it. So he nodded and said, "Xiaoyi, open it and take a look, let me observe my father-in-law's Mobao." ”

He Yi said "um", and then opened the couplet, which was: "I like to drink full moon wine today." The next link is: "He congratulates his ancestors and grandchildren." ”

Although the content is vulgar, between the lines, it is filled with a strong sense of joy, and it vividly reflects He Xiaotian's feeling of great relief. However, Wu Ming's attention was attracted by the connotation inside, and there were a total of fourteen words in the upper and lower lines, each of which was a strong pen, through the back of the paper, and between the iron and silver hooks, there was a hidden sharp breath.

When Hei Er glued the couplet, Wu Ming could still see it, and He Yi pulled him and said, "Brother Wu, what's wrong with you?" ”

Wu Ming said: "The murderous aura of this couplet is so heavy......"

He Yi frowned and said: "The He family's sand breaking fist pays attention to indomitable, and my father has reached the realm of great success, so it is natural to be more murderous." ”

Wu Ming shook his head and said, "That's not the case. He turned to Ye Lihe and said, "Isn't the northwest peaceful lately?" Or is Governor Ho going to make a move? ”

Ye Lihe's face was full of admiration, and he sighed: "Xiang Wen Hou Ye has won a hundred battles, and the last general is somewhat disapproving, but he is convinced at this time." The light of this hole is subtle, and the ability to see the eye like a candle will last a lifetime, and it may not be able to get the fur. Indeed, the Northwest has not been very peaceful lately. ”

In the past, Wu Ming admired the prime minister's far-reaching strategy, but when he really reached this position, he had a feeling that he was like this. In fact, this is also forced, one person fights a lot, and he does a lot of things to coordinate the overall situation. You have to stretch your mind when you encounter anything, it's just a matter of habit. In the eyes of outsiders, this means anticipating the enemy's opportunity and thinking cautiously. Although he has long passed the age of joy and anger, Ye Lihe's praise is scratching his itch, and he is a little proud, but He Yi hurriedly said: "General Ye Li, what happened?" Father, I'm fine. ”

Ye Lihe said: "Miss don't worry, it's not a big deal, there are a lot more Persian monks who have gone to the West recently, according to the news sent by Yu Chen, Persia is very likely to detour through the small countries of the West to launch an eastward crusade, when the governor wrote this couplet, he was getting the news of the Persian secret alliance with Xiyi, and the killing intent in his chest was inevitably heavier, and the words written naturally had the air of a blade." ”

There are dozens of countries in the West, three of which are the most powerful. The first is naturally Lou Ju, who is currently allied with Simon, and the second is Lan Shan, who believes in the Moon God Cult and has always been soft to the outside world, but the cohesion is the strongest, and the third is the Xiyi in Yeli He's mouth, which is a country established by the remnants of the Great Jin Dynasty of the previous dynasty, and has always taken the restoration of the country as its own responsibility. And the He family guards the northwest, and the two sides are natural rivals. When Wu Ming went north to aid the three northwestern provinces, the sand bandit Wolf Touqing, who was controlled by Xiyi, once attacked He Yi in a vain attempt to control the Bailing Sect, which added fuel to the fire. The meaning of Persia's choice to form an alliance with Xiyi is already self-evident, and it is no wonder that He Xiaotian has murderous intentions in his chest.

Hearing Ye Lihe say this, He Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and Wu Ming exclaimed: "Oops, Xiaoqing is still planning to go to the West, isn't it dangerous?" ”

Although there is a team of black-clothed guards accompanying them, but the battle is together, and tens of millions of people are fighting on the battlefield at every turn, no matter how high their skills are, they are still not enough to see. Ye Li said: "Don't worry, Master Hou, now it's just a matter of getting the news, what does Persia want, it's just a matter of not having a score." These Persians don't know what to think, and they desperately want to fight to the east, and they really can't figure it out. ”

What exactly was the purpose of the Persian crusade? This is also where Wu Ming is puzzled, is it really as they preached, is it to recapture the holy land of Yundu and preach the doctrine? If that were the case, it would be very similar to the Crusades in history. However, even the Crusades were only wars of aggression under the cloak of religion, and they could not change their unjust nature. Although Yundu is in the hands of Persia, it is still nominally a territory in China and the West, and it seems that he and the Persian Xinglong Emperor are still entangled for a while. In the process of winning the throne, this little fat man interpreted the five-character mantra of waiting, stability, concealment, forbearance, and ruthlessness to the extreme, and he was really a fierce rival in life. However, Persia hasn't done it yet, and Wu Ming is also relieved, it seems that he has to tell Zhu Yu the news, but he is afraid that if she does not listen to persuasion, she still has to go her own way, which will be a bit big.

When that's all done, it's dawn. Wu Ming was about to return home when suddenly the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and a carriage had rushed out of the corner of the street. Although the carriage was simple, it was a two-horse ride, which ordinary people could not overstep, and the person who came was obviously an official. There is almost no need to guess, the other party must have come to congratulate him. Wu Ming couldn't help but stop, the carriage stopped at the door of the Governor's Palace, the curtain was raised, Yang Yi and his wife got out of it, and there was Lu Fang who followed, Wu Ming couldn't help but be stunned, Yang Yi had already explained with a smile: "When I was on the road, I met Lu Shilang, so I brought him by the way." ”

With Yang Yi's relationship with himself, it is natural for him to come so early, but he didn't expect Lu Fang to be earlier than him, Wu Ming was stunned again, and was about to say some kind words, Lu Fang had already shouted: "Wu Hou, you and the second lady are my matchmakers, and this full moon wine is also a big event, so naturally it can't be too late." Why, aren't you welcome to go down? ”

Wu Ming said with a smile: "Naturally, it is welcome, but the Ministry of Industry has been very busy recently, and Lu Shilang can come with time, but it is unexpectedly tight." ”

Before he finished speaking, Lu Fang had already complained bitterly: "Oh Wu Hou, the queen mother can't let the kid stand it, recently summoned every day, this is not early in the morning, and called Liu Ze's old boy again, it is estimated that it will not be noon, don't want to come back, anyway, I won't go." ”

Wu Ming's heart moved: "What did Niang Niang tell you to do?" ”

"Naturally, it's a gunwale, what else could it be?" Lu Fang continued to shout: "Although the first battle was won, the shock of this thing in the north to the Queen Mother is also great, and she has given a death order to the Ministry of Industry to develop this thing before the summer." Liu Ze's hair has turned gray recently. Tsk, that's pathetic. ”

When a few people were talking, Wu Ming had already let everyone into the house, and just sat down in the living room, the Si Yan outside had already sang: "Yang Xiong, the commander of the guard battalion, and the secretary of the Ministry of Rites is here to congratulate." ”

Although Yang Xiong is the backbone of the Queen Mother's faction, he has a very personal relationship with Wu Ming, and he was able to come, but Wu Ming expected it, but he didn't expect Shi to come. The Southern Han Dynasty is surrounded by enemies on all sides, almost no danger can be defended, in this way, it is particularly important to join the vertical and horizontal, with the intensification of the war, ushered in the things sent to more, the Ministry of Rites has always been the Qingshui Yamen, but now the status has been greatly improved, although it is far from the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of War. However, the number of people has increased a lot, almost the same as the criminal department.

Wu Ming got up to greet him, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he saw that Yang Xiong and his wife had already turned in from outside under the leadership of Si Yan. As soon as he saw Wu Ming, Yang Xiong hurriedly hugged his fists and smiled: "Wu Hou, congratulations, congratulations." Now that there is a new Ding, and it is a man and a woman, it is really deserving. ”

Wu Ming glanced at Lei Fei'er and joked: "If Brother Yang is envious, you have to come on." ”

Yang Xiong was very proud, and said with a smile: "Don't hide it from Wu Hou, Xia Guan is about to become a father." ”

"Huh? Brother Yang, do you and Fei'er have it? ”

Yang Xiong nodded and said, "Yes, the doctor only diagnosed it a few days ago, so it can't be wrong." I thought, it must be a big fat boy. ”

As soon as he said this, Lei Fei'er stopped doing it, glared at her, and snorted: "What if it's a girl, don't you want it?" ”

Yang Xiong let his wife in other places, but here he is fighting for every inch, and said seriously: "If you definitely want it, but Fei'er, you must still have to give birth, you have to give birth to a boy, after all, Humen Yang Ke is my only seedling, it is better to have a few more, that is the best." ”

Lei Fei'er snorted: "You stinky and beautiful, ......" but did not refute Yang Xiong's words, obviously acquiescing.

Wu Ming smiled secretly in his heart, and said to Shi Zhan on the side: "What kind of wind blew the Ministry of Rites here?" ”
