Chapter 165: Loyalty to the King and Protection of the Country

"Slow down, slow down, Brother Ying is joking with you." Huo Quzhi smiled and patted Chu Mengyao's back, comforting the shy girl who bowed her head.

But the girl was still too ashamed to raise her head, and so was Zhao Xiaofei beside her.

Compared with Huo Quzhi's calmness, Qian Mingguang was very faceless, he was drinking juice at the time, and then ....... It was sprayed directly on Qin Shi Huang's face, and it happened that the two of them were sitting opposite each other.

Well, it is not ruled out that Xiaopang deliberately reorganized Qin Shi Huang.

"Damn, you kid is going to die!" Qin Shi Huang was sprayed with juice by Qian Mingguang, and he was so angry that he almost lifted the table.

"Brother Win, don't blame me, hey, what are you doing, calm down, hey, don't lift the table, the meal hasn't finished yet."

Amidst the laughter and scolding, the meal was finally finished.

.......

The fireworks quickly rose into the night sky and burst into brilliant light.

"Boom, boom." The dark night sky is decorated with fireworks in the blink of an eye.

On the gazebo in the center of the lake, Chu Mengyao held the fence of the gazebo with both hands, looked at the fireworks in the night sky happily with her big eyes, stretched out her finger to point at the splendor of the night sky, and happily cheered to the man behind her, "Xiaojun, look at it, it's so beautiful." ”

Huo Quzhi, who was dressed in armor, walked to Chu Mengyao's side, and naturally hugged the girl's waist, looking up at the splendor of the night sky, a smile was drawn on the corner of the champion Hou's mouth, "Yes, it's beautiful." ”

Retracting her gaze from the fireworks in the night sky, Chu Mengyao's heart couldn't help but thump, as if a deer was bumping into her chest.

"Hey, when the hell are you going to be back?"

Hearing this, Huo Quzhi shrugged his shoulders, and a trace of mischievality flashed on his handsome face, "Ao, this, you may still need to wait, after all, you also know my situation in Dahan, the whole army is trained, and the Huns will be defeated again, which one here does not take time?" Besides, I'm very tired now, and my aunt arranges blind dates for me every day, so ......."

"I'm going to die, you." Before Huo Quai's words were finished, the girl was very angry and hammered him on the chest, and as a result, the delicate jade hand hit the armor, Huo Quzhi was fine, Chu Mengyao herself was in pain, and even her eyes were red and swollen.

"Didn't I just say it, how could you really believe it." Huo Quzhi was very distressed and held Chu Mengyao's red little hand, Chu Mengyao's little face was raised, and he was unforgiving: "Hmph, who let you talk nonsense, and go on a blind date, phew, shameless." ”

Huo Quzhi smiled and hugged the girl who turned around and didn't look at him, and said gently: "Don't be angry, I just said, don't worry, as long as I destroy the Huns, I will definitely come back to you, ah no, I came back to marry you, what do you think of it here?" ”

"Phew, whoever wants to marry you, shameless." Chu Mengyao turned around, lay on Huo Quai's strong arms and whispered, but the little face was inadvertently blushing, quietly looked at the quiet lake around her, quietly looked at the antique gazebo, and quietly looked at the heroic man holding herself, Chu Mengyao couldn't help but get drunk and couldn't help but be stupid.

She seemed to see the scene where she was wearing a red wedding dress in the future and marrying Huo Qubing here, and the sweetness in her heart was beyond words.

"So, how long will it take you to get back?" The girl asked expectantly.

Huo Quzhi did not answer her words, but said four words meaningfully.

"Loyalty to the monarch and protection of the country, this is my lifelong belief in Huo Quai."

Hearing this, Chu Mengyao's eyes suddenly dimmed a lot, "In other words, even if you destroy the Huns, won't you come back?" ”

"I didn't say that, I mean, I want to fulfill all my wishes first, that is, to destroy the Huns, and then wait for the day I die in history to come back, but before leaving, I have to talk to Your Majesty, hey, you're not so anxious to marry me, right?" Huo Qu hung the girl's little nose lovingly, and the eyebrows and eyes showed tenderness.

Chu Mengyao was so angry by his words, she broke away from her embrace, and stomped her feet unrelentingly, "Huo Xiaojun, I don't pay attention to you!" ”

Huo Quzhi grabbed her jade hand and said softly: "I won't tease you, you can rest assured that as long as I Huo Qubing fulfills my wish, as long as I Huo Quzhi does not die, then I will definitely come back and marry you here." ”

"A word?" Chu Mengyao threw herself into Huo Quai's arms again.

Huo Quzhi gently hugged her, brushed her hair with his big hand, closed his eyes, and said in a firm tone: "A word is a certainty!" ”

"Boom!" At this time, another beam of fireworks went deep into the air and suddenly bloomed, and the dazzling light illuminated this pleasant lake, and also illuminated the two young men and girls embracing each other in the pavilion in the center of the lake.

Loyal to the monarch and protecting the country, indeed, this is very sick.

........

The New Year passed quickly, on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Huang Xiaowei sent Huo Quzhi and Qian Mingguang back to Dahan first, Meng Tian and Qin Shi Huang also left on the same day, but they were different, Meng Tian and Qin Shi Huang just went back to deal with urgent government affairs, and then they could come back for a swaggering vacation.

After all, everything is back on track in Great Qin now, and Qin Shi Huang has also roughly set the direction of Great Qin's development, and the rest only needs to be handed over to the people below.

Meng Tian is the same, during this time he has not yet thought of a decisive battle with the Xiongnu, and at present he has been preparing for war, training soldiers, and building the Great Wall.

This was to avoid the unfavorable occurrence of the war, so that Meng Tian could lead the army to withdraw from the outside of the fortress in time, relying on the Great Wall to defend it, and leaving a back road.

General Meng Da does not like to fight that kind of desperate battle, either win or die in battle, every time he fights, he will always leave himself a way out, not that he is timid, but he carries 300,000 lives on his back, and he cannot be sloppy.

In recent years, although the harassment of the Huns has continued, there has been no large-scale offensive, and it has always been harassed on the border, and the four deputy generals under Meng Tian, "Pang Kuoming, Liu Kejing, Wu Guangyuan, and Duan Mingguo" are enough to deal with the Huns.

After sending Huo Quzhi and the others away, the house was suddenly a lot deserted, as usual, Huang Xiaowei pushed open Shangguan Wan'er's bedroom as usual, and walked in to sit for a while.

He hadn't been to Datang to see Shangguan Wan'er for a long time, probably because he didn't want to go, he didn't want to see how the historical Shangguan Wan'er looked ruthless, lewd, and chaotic.

But even so, Huang Xiaowei ....... still can't let go of Shangguan Wan'er.

And after such a long time of separation, Huang Xiaowei's head is much clearer. For some reason, he suddenly felt that everything last time might have been pretended to be Wan'er for him, and the thought was so strong, so strong that it could barely be erased from his mind.

Everything is because he remembered the innocent girl who used to be, Huang Xiaowei didn't believe that woman would be her Wan'er, even if it was, Huang Xiaowei thought that Wan'er had to pretend to be herself.

She...... She must have some unspeakable grievances, but, what is it? Huang Xiaowei has never been able to figure it out.

He wasn't sure what Wan'er was doing by hiding herself from herself and making such a hateful look.

It seems that there is nothing else but to disappoint herself in her, right?

Huang Xiaowei is an insider, and he doesn't understand why Shangguan Wan'er would put on such a look, because she not only wants you to be disappointed in her, but also ...... I don't want to see you again, like now.

You know, you just haven't been to see her for a few months, and where is Datang, it's been eight years.

Eight years is enough for a lot of people to appear, and enough for a lot of things to happen.

........

Tang Dynasty, 692 AD.

Two years ago, Wu Zetian ascended the throne as the emperor, and Ruizong Li Dan was demoted to the emperor's heir and moved to the East Palace in Luoyang, but the word "surrender" may not be very good, so it should be abolished.

Two years ago, Wu Zetian deposed Li Dan and ascended the throne as emperor.

When it comes to Li Dan, I have to praise him, although he is also very weak and has not done anything in his life, but in fact, you can see what kind of person he is by looking at his title.

Rui, a very wise person, can even be called a wise and foolish person, unlike his brother, who originally had no ability, and as a result, he still wanted to interfere in the government affairs, and he also wanted to fight against Wu Zetian, and finally ended up in a bitter cold land.

From this point of view, Li Dan is more than twice as smart as his brother Li Xian.

Think about it carefully, Li Dan, he is the one who has been the emperor under Wu Zetian for six years, six years, a full six years, in this period of the Tang Dynasty, this time has been very long.

Imagine, if Li Dan was a fool like his brother Li Xian, how could he be the emperor for six years?

How could Wu Zetian allow Li Dan to sit peacefully on top of his head for six years?

The reason for this can only be said that Li Dan knows how to cooperate with Wu Zetian, how to cooperate with his mother, whatever Wu Zetian says, Li Dan will do, and he never dares to be disobedient.

Moreover, since he ascended the throne, Li Dan has completely lost all the rights that an emperor should have, of course, there is also the side of Wu Zetian who took it away, but I have to say that he let go of all the rights at the beginning, which is a very smart move.

Oh, by the way, there is also the credit of Wan'er here.

It was precisely because of having such a cooperative puppet in her hand that Wu Zetian willingly let her weak son climb above her head and be the emperor for six years, until everything fell into place, she ascended to the throne.

But for Li Dan, his mother is still too ruthless, even if he is so cooperative, the queen mother still killed his concubine and his child's biological mother two years after ascending the throne.

Alas, since he became the prince, Li Dan, who has been low-key, has been low-key in these days, and because of Wu Zetian's drastic reforms, everyone has almost forgotten His Royal Highness the prince.

But there is one person who feels unwilling, very unwilling!

He was unwilling to let his father suffocate himself in the East Palace all day long, and he was also unwilling to let his mother die like that, even if the old woman was very kind to him, he still felt angry.

.......

Outside the East Palace, Li Longji, who was only seven years old, with red lips and white teeth, and a head and horns, and looked more beautiful than a girl, was wearing a small royal costume and sat on the steps outside the East Palace.

The black and bright, watery big eyes, blinking and blinking, full of immature and wise eyes, swept the scene and object of the Luoyang Palace in front of him.

He was very young, only seven years old, but some people were born destined to make a career out of it, and even as a child, he showed that he was far more daring and talented than his peers.

Not long ago, Li Longji, who was only seven years old, when he saw the sacrificial ceremony, Wu Zetian's nephew Wu Yizong, relying on the current prominence of their Wu clan, actually spoke disrespectfully and taught his guards a lesson at will.

Li Longji, who was only seven years old, was furious, stretched out his petite and white little hand, glared at Shui Ling's big eyes, and loudly reprimanded in front of Wu Zetian and the Manchu Dynasty.

"This is the court of my Li family, what are you doing as an outsider, is the surname Li or Wu in this world!"
