Chapter 153: Equality

Xiao Sui just wanted to be angry with him at first, but who knew that the two of them were really angry, looking at Han Derang's arrogant appearance standing in the hall, just like a young man arguing, he couldn't be angry with himself, and he didn't want to admit defeat's arrogant appearance, his eyes were slightly red, his heart was soft, and he said in a low voice: "I always can't talk about you." ”

Seeing Han Derang's eyes turn, Xiao Sui got up and walked to Han Derang's side, and said softly: "Derang, if I don't know what is on your mind, I will read so many Han people's poems and books in vain." You Han people, seem to be weak, but you take your own inheritance very seriously, and even look down on the Hu people," Seeing that Han Derang wanted to refute, Xiao Sui stretched out his hand and said, "And listen to me, Grandpa Han is already a very human minister in my dynasty, but he is still depressed, Uncle Han is the king of Qin, and whenever he receives envoys from the Southern Dynasty, he is ashamed, you privately contact the heroes among the Han generals in Youyan, and secretly resist the Khitan nobles in Yanyun, you can't see it?"

The more she spoke, the more secretly frightened Han Derang became, when she was a teenager, she only felt that Xiao Yu was empathetic, but she didn't think deeply that this was because she knew herself, far more than she knew her.

"If it weren't for the providence of God, Yan Yan would marry a gentleman's wife, and she would be a husband and a wife, if you want to contact Yan Yun Haojie to start an incident, and even take the Central Plains in the south and reject Da Liao in the north, I will only treat you as a big hero, a big hero. Xiao Xuan seemed to have exhausted a lot of strength to say these words, she gasped slightly, held Han Derang's shoulder, and said: "But, now I am the queen of Liao, His Majesty the Emperor trusts me and lets me take care of the government, Derang, are you going to betray me?" She plucked up the courage to look up at Han Derang's eyes, Han Derang sighed slightly, did not admit it, and did not justify.

"I know that you have never been angry that the Han people in the territory of Daliao have been bullied, and you have vowed to change it with your own hands. But can this change only be accomplished through war and killing?" Xiao Sui held Han Derang's hand in his soft pancreas, feeling that he was being told by himself, he was trembling slightly, looked up at Han Derang, and said in a firm voice that he had never had before: "If Your Majesty continues to let me take care of the government, I will open the imperial examination, use scholars as officials, let the Khitan and Han people treat each other equally, persuade Nongsang, and Bo Fu. Derang, don't betray me, Yanyan asks you to assist me, protect me, and be loyal to me. ”

After Xiao Xuan said these shocking words, the spacious and grand queen's bedroom suddenly fell silent, and a ray of clear light penetrated through the window edge of the palace sky, and the fine dust in the air shone out of the pillar of light, slowly flowing and flying with the fine air current, slowly projecting onto the thick felt carpet in front of the two.

The two of them faced each other silently, this moment seemed to be as long as a hundred years, and finally, Han Derang knelt down on one knee under the gaze of her mournful and determined beautiful eyes, and said in a low voice: "Minister, Han Derang, I am willing to be loyal to Her Majesty the Queen, clarify the United States, and bring peace together." Xiao Xuan cried with joy, and knelt in front of him as soon as his body became weak. The two snuggled together, holding hands and looking at each other, feeling that since childhood, they have never been as good as today, and it has been fifteen days since Wu Yingying led the Lanzhou army to march, in order to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of the weakness, the four gates of Lanzhou were closed, and the soldiers and civilians did not go out of the city except for the scouts. The whole city was in a state of uneasy anxiety. The sergeants tightened their strings and patrolled day and night, while the households were ordered not to go out for nothing, and to receive a liter of food every day to go home to make porridge.

Sun Gouzi is in the prime of life, how can this liter of porridge made of grain be enough to eat, every day he is so hungry that his chest is pressed against his back, lying on the bed for a few days, thinking sadly. The valley rain solar term has passed, the seeds in the field have been sown early, although they are diligent in their hands and feet, and a scarecrow with a fan was erected in the field early, I don't know if I can scare away the tits that peck at the seeds, the rain is abundant for ten days, and the weeds in the field should also grow, if you don't pull it out in time, grab the ground, the germinating wheat seedlings will not be fat and straight enough, I am afraid that it will greatly affect the harvest, alas, this damn barbarian, just start a war in the spring, this is not to the stomach of the old grandson to be hungry for another year? When the rammed goods for planting grass are cheaper, the grass seeds are sprinkled on the ground, and you can lie on the edge of the ridge and sleep soundly. While thinking, he sighed, and looked out the window at the spring rain like a pearl curtain, only to feel that all the silver money of the white flowers had flowed into the ditch.

Zhu Huilan also looked at the rain outside the window, holding a thin needle to pin a little oil on her hair bun, but she didn't come back to her senses when she put down the needle, and suddenly pointed out the blood of her left thumb, she frowned in pain, took the bleeding finger into her mouth and took it lightly, and sighed, today is the third time she has been pricked by a needle, and she is always flustered, is it that something happened to that person? The robbery of the caravan in Lanzhou, and even the fact that Wu Yingying went out of the fortress to crusade, Lanzhou was strictly kept secret, and people like Zhu Huilan had no way of knowing the inside story, but the city gate was closed for more than ten days, and the soldiers patrolled day and night. The so-called crockpot will inevitably be broken, and the battlefield will be killed. Thinking of this, Zhu Huilan couldn't help but feel confused, and secretly complained to herself, worrying about this person in vain, what is the matter between herself and him.

The dark clouds dispersed, the sky gradually cleared, and the rain slowly became lighter, and the water droplets dripping down the eaves seemed to be broken and connected, tinkling and dingdong, and stirring for no reason to make people feel sad. Zhu Huilan looked up at the window again, if it weren't for the strict prohibition of people from going to the street without incident, she was afraid that she would have run to the high slope outside the city and become a Wangfu stone. Hearing that Sergeant Lanzhou in the distance somehow made a loud noise, I don't know whether it was joy or sorrow.

Through the rain curtain came the sound of hurried horses' hooves stepping on the stone slabs, at first it was still far away, the movement was quite subtle, and then gradually the sound of hooves became louder, Zhu Huilan's expression changed, she stood up and looked out the window, and then turned around and sat down, straightened her temples in front of a bronze mirror with many rust stains, licked her lips with her tongue, which looked moist and moving, and stood up and listened carefully, with some faint expectations and premonitions in her heart.

The sound of horses' hooves swept quickly past the door of Zhu Huilan's house, and gradually disappeared into the distance, Zhu Huilan sat down softly, holding on to the table, her heart full of disappointment. She sat in a daze for a while, picked up the needle and thread and was about to start sewing again, when she suddenly heard the door of her house "clang" opened, startled, her fingers were pricked by the needle again, Zhu Huilan didn't care about sucking off the blood beads, stood up with the needlework shirt and looked out, just bumped into Xin Gu closed the door of the house, striding towards the inner room.

After teaching Amur how to manage the affairs of the tribe, Xingu returned to the army with Wu Yingying. This time, a total of twelve tribes on the steppe were broken, and eleven were subdued, and the warriors of one tribe tried to use the opportunity to select sergeants to hurt people, and were suppressed after beheading more than 100 people. A total of 71 Lanzhou sergeants and more than 800 caravan men were rescued from this trip, and more than 3,000 troops were captured and escorted back to Lanzhou to be used as slaves in the craftsman camp, which can be described as a complete victory.

After entering the gate of Lanzhou City, and Wu Yingying accepted the cheers of the sergeants in line, Xin Gu took leave from Wu Yingying, and vaguely revealed that he wanted to hire Zhu Huilan as his wife, Wu Yingying had already received a secret report from Xin Gu and this female household, and even asked Chase to send someone to do a detailed screening of Zhu Huilan's identity and conduct, confirming that she was not a spy in any way, and when he heard Xin Gu and himself mention this matter, he smiled and agreed, and also took out a mutton fat hosta seized from the Mandu Latu tribe, which was bought at a high price of one hundred and fifty yuan at the auction of the trophies, and was originally intended to be given to Huang Wen, and now it is given to Xin Gu as a favor。

Xin Gu was wearing a new Lanzhou military academy lieutenant robe, walked through the rain curtain, walked into the house, looked at Zhu Huilan, took out the mutton fat hosta from his arms, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Wu said that the Han people want to send hairpins to their wives, and this is for you." After speaking, regardless of whether Zhu Huilan agreed, he reached out and carefully inserted the hairpin into the woman's bun standing in front of him. Looking at his gentle face, Zhu Huilan's mind was blank, her heart fluctuated, and tears actually burst out of her eyes without fighting, and she threw herself into Xin Gu's arms and sobbed.

Just when Xin Gu and the others were secretly grateful to the commander for making the adults do their good deeds, Wu Yingying was full of gossip and said to Huang Wen: "I didn't expect that Xin Gu, a Khitan barbarian, was silent, but took away a flower in Lanzhou City. ”

"Oh, is that woman really very charming? Next time, my husband will ask Captain Xin to take her to the house to sit down. Huang Wenjiao said angrily, but all women are jealous of their husbands' praise of other women's appearance. Wu Yingying hurriedly smiled: "I also heard those sergeants who have never seen the world, but I have never seen myself, and I think it is far inferior to Mrs. Xiu's wisdom, gentleness and virtuousness." He was busy and made a mistake, but Huang Wen heard it clearly, pouted and stomped his feet: "Half of the detour is halfway there, you still think I'm ugly." Wu Yingying woke up at this time, saying that women are ugly, and they are called virtuous and temperamental, and they will be recognized in ancient and modern times. He hurriedly made up for it, his mouth was full of flowers, his hands were up and down, and after a while, Huang Wen's face was crimson, and she fell softly into his arms, her eyes were like silk.
