Section VIII

The carriage galloped down the post road.

Zhu Yuqing was accompanied by everyone, but she didn't know martial arts, and her health was poor, so if she barely rode a horse, she would gallop on the snow, and she couldn't catch up with everyone, and she might catch a cold. In desperation, he had to take a carriage to the outside, and when Wu Ming returned home, he was just running into her, so he recruited her carriage. Her car was also spacious, but it was crowded with a large family.

Behind the car, Yang Yi accompanied him with more than 1,000 iron horses, and Hei Er and the others also rode at the back of the team, and went towards Nanning with some trepidation.

In the carriage, He Yi lay in Wu Ming's arms, leaned his head on Wu Ming's shoulder, and whispered what happened: "...... When Hu Lao was dying, he gave me the booklet, and then turned back to stop the enemy......"

She had just given birth, and her body was still very weak, and her face was a little pale. Feeling her weakness, Wu Ming felt a little distressed, and gently patted her knife-like shoulder and said, "Since this is the case, I will naturally not treat the black-clothed guard badly." Okay, don't talk about it yet, sleep first and recuperate. ”

He Yi shook his head, took out the roster from his arms, handed it to Zhu Yuqing, and said, "Sister Zhu, this is the roster of the black-clothed guard, and now I will give it to you." ”

Under the successive blows, Zhu Yuqing's spirit was a little trance, she reached out to take it, a pair of white hands slowly stroked the roster, but tears poured out again, muttering: "Father, Uncle Hu......"

Two children, one was held by Xiaohui and the other was held by Esther, although He Yi's mother and son were rescued, but thinking of the death of so many people, the atmosphere was still a little dignified, only Esther was an alternative, this was teasing the children, and the laughter continued. The little guy just opened his eyes, he was curious about everything, Esther stretched out a finger to tease him, he was not afraid of life, opened his little hand and grabbed it, pinched it hard, and tried to spit out a small bubble on his mouth, Esther was very happy, and shouted: "Brother Amin, the little guy seems to be still laughing, haha, happy to kill me." ”

The child had just been born, and with so many expressions on his face, it was just Esther's speculation. He Yi heard her say something interesting, raised his head in Wu Ming's arms, looked at him and said, "Ah Ming, don't always call the little guy the little guy, you are the father, give the child a name." ”

Seeing Zhu Yuqing's gloomy face, Esther felt that it was boring, looked at her and said: "I wish you sister, don't be like this, happiness will always be your own, others can't give it to you, only if you are happy, it belongs to you." ”

Hearing this, Wu Ming's heart moved: "According to what was discussed before, the boy's name is free from his mother's surname." I hope he grows up, like his Sanniang, and will always be happy. ”

"He is free, he is free, life is in the world, and what is free in the world?" He Yi muttered and praised: "This name is good, vulgar but elegant, and it gives the child a good meaning." ”

She turned her head and asked, "What about the daughter?" ”

The daughter is quiet, she is lying in Xiaohui's arms at this time, her eyes are wide and she is looking at Xiaohui, Xiaohui is quiet, but her eyes are deep, as clear as the little guy, the two look at each other silently, but they are happy. Wu Ming looked at it and smiled slightly: "Daughter, let's be named Ruoxi." ”

This time, without waiting for He Yi to explain, he continued: "Ruoxi, as beautiful as the morning light, gives people hope, marks a new life, a new era, and finally comes." ”

After choosing a name, He Yi put down the boulder in his heart. After giving birth to a pair of children, she has not rested well, and at this time lying in Wu Ming's arms, there is an unprecedented peace in her heart, and she fell asleep after a while. Wu Ming leaned back in order to let her sleep more comfortably, and seeing that Zhu Yuqing was still pinching the roster in a daze, he couldn't help but persuade: "Xiaoqing, the deceased has passed away, don't be sad, you are like this, it will only make Xiangye Hu Lao and them more uneasy, and the spirit of the sky will not rest in peace." ”

Although the prime minister had plotted against him before his death, everyone was dead, and Wu Ming was not interested in caring about it anymore. Listening to his persuasion, Zhu Yuqing came back to his senses, and his face was a little sad: "Ah Ming, Xiaolong is missing, what should I do?" ”

Zhu Yuhu killed the eldest brother with his own hands, and Zhu Yuqing didn't want to recognize this third brother no matter what. I wish the whole house, and now I will only wish Xiaolong a kiss, she cherishes it even more, and it is naturally tight.

Wu Ming thought for a while and said: "Last night, the soldiers were in chaos, according to my estimate, the biggest possibility is that Xiaolong fell into the hands of the Queen Mother." Tomorrow I will go to meet the Queen Mother and ask her to release her. ”

Hearing that it fell into the hands of the Queen Mother, Zhu Yuqing's face turned even paler: "If you want to persuade the Queen Mother to release people, I'm afraid it's not easy, you must know that we are too arrogant today, I'm afraid she is angry with you." ”

After rescuing his wife and children, Wu Ming also regained his senses, and said with a wry smile: "There is nothing to be done in anger, can you watch him kill Xiaolong too." Even if you pay a big price, you have to rescue Xiaolong, alas......"

Zhu Yuqing felt guilty and apologized again: "I'm sorry Ah Ming, it's our Zhu family who dragged you down." ”

Her face was pale, and her pitiful appearance was even more distressing, Wu Ming hugged He Yi tightly with his left hand, stretched out his right hand to pinch her soft little hand, and comforted: "What is the drag or not, Lu Hui is still in the hands of the Queen Mother, even if it is for me, I will go to her tomorrow to ask for someone." ”

※※※ The rising sun is new, scattered all over the earth. The imperial palace after the snow, under the sun, is even more dense.

The imperial palace is divided into two parts, one is the outer court, the other is the inner court, the front court is now under the control of the forbidden army yamen, after receiving the report, the commander made Xie Chuan's face change greatly, but he was relieved to see Wu Ming coming alone. So he was not embarrassed, knowing that Wei Fang and Wu Ming were near, he called him to guide him.

Along the way, the guards were in groups, walking around with swords and swords, and occasionally the soldiers of the guard battalion were mixed in, and it was a solemn scene. Wu Ming looked at it and was a little disapproving: "Hit the door hard, and wait for the mob." The prime minister is gone, and the mother is still so careful, it's really ......"

Wei Fang began to vomit bitterness: "This is not Niangniang's idea, but General Xie's meaning." No, he stipulates that everyone must be present during the day and take turns on duty, and in my estimation, this month's rest will be in the soup again. ”

Xie Chuan was loyal to Taihe, but it was too trivial, Wu Ming shook his head: "Isn't this an afterthought, he did this, I'm afraid it will also be more for the Queen Mother." ”

"Not quite," Wei Fang stopped, looked around, and then lowered his voice and said: "Not only me, but even Zhen Fan and Pei Yong's people have been transferred to inspect Nanning City, so my subordinates feel that the purpose of the commander is to be you, Lord Dike." ”

Nanning has a population of more than one million and is the largest city in the south. In order to refine the responsibilities, the Ten Road Guards were set up to be responsible for the security of each district. Each road guard station also set up a guard station, a total of ten people, and the commander Xie Chuan unified the dispatch. Among them, Zhen Fan, who was made by the Third Road Guard, and Pei Yong, who was made by the Seven Road Guards, got closer to Wei Fang, and when they rubbed their relationship, they were naturally counted as people from Wu Ming's side, and Xie Chuan did this, and his heart was already clear.

Dewei Fang explained, Wu Ming was a little speechless. However, he didn't think much about it, yesterday the Zhongxi soldiers were indeed too arrogant, and it is estimated that Xie Chuan was scared a lot. He's making a bit of a fuss now, but it's not outrageous.

There is a large square between the inner court and the outer court, and while the two of them are talking, they have arrived here. The court is deep, and it is full of palace ladies, and even the queen mother herself is a woman, which can make these men shake around. After this square, it is the inner court. Therefore, if you want to continue to go inside, you must have the Yellow Gate of the Imperial Palace to guide the way. In Nanning, the Queen Mother has a forbidden army yamen and a guard battalion, in fact, the strength is not weak, but it is still necessary to set up plum blossom internal guards, which is estimated to be more for this reason.

When he arrived at the square, he saw the small pillar leading Dai Yu out, and Wu Ming took the lead in greeting: "Dai Bing's department came early." ”

Dai Yu nodded, and replied with some absent-mindedness: "Wu Hou ...... early" He glanced at the small pillar in front of him, and suddenly turned his mouth and said: "Master Hou, please restrain your subordinates in the future, otherwise even if the subordinate knows that he is invincible, he will have to fight each other with swords." ”

Wu Ming's heart sank, Dai Yu said this, in fact, not only to warn himself, but most of them to Xiaozhu, the purpose was to show loyalty to the Queen Mother. He used to be the backbone of the prime minister's faction, but now that the tree is falling apart, he can't wait to take advantage of himself? He snorted coldly and said, "Dai Bingbu is so idle, let's take care of myself first." ”

At the beginning of the snowfall, the sun in winter seems to have narrowed the distance between it and people, and it is extraordinarily clear and dazzling. But the temperature of the sun seems to have been cooled by ice and snow, and it can't get hot. With the coldness all over his body, Wu Ming walked inside under the leadership of the little pillar.

The Queen Mother still met her in the imperial study. When she walked in, she sat on a chair with carved phoenix patterns, looking at a map behind her.

It was a map of the topography of mountains and rivers, Wu Ming looked at it for a long time, and finally determined that this picture was very detailed, and it was the one in the prime minister's study. He was in a trance for a while, and the prime minister's slightly short and fat body reappeared, as if he was standing by the map, pointing out the country and scolding Chief Fang.

Hearing the sound, the Queen Mother didn't turn around, stretched out her slender white right hand, bent her fingers and knocked on the table next to her, and said a little casually: "Wu Hou has arrived, find a place to sit first." ”

The picture is still the same picture, but the owner has changed. Wu Ming sighed secretly, today I came to beg the Queen Mother to let her go, but I can't make the other party angry anymore. He found a chair next to him and sat down in a proper manner.

There was a plate of sliced apples on the table, and the parrot on the shelf was so slanderous that it jumped and cried in the cage: "Eat, eat, hungry, hungry." To eat. ”

In this quiet study, the noise of this beast is even more disturbing, and it is annoying to listen to it, but the Queen Mother doesn't care about it, she still looks at the map and is fascinated. After a while, he stood up, threw a piece of apple slice into the cage, and said, "Call you disobedient, beast, next time, if you are good at learning your tongue, I will directly throw you to the imperial kitchen to steam." ”

The parrot jumped off the iron frame, pecked at the apple slices, threw up his neck, swallowed it three times by two, and continued to cry, "Yes, yes." ”

The Queen Mother didn't care about it, clapped her hands, looked at Wu Ming and said, "Wu Hou is so majestic, how can you remember to come here today." ”
