Wu Yingying seemed to suddenly wake up and Zhou Hou was here, patted Xin Gu on the shoulder and muttered: "If you want to be a good emperor, the lord of Jiangnan is a material. Xin Gu muttered dissatisfiedly: "How can you be happy!" Zhou Hou couldn't listen anymore, stood up with a cold face, and said to Huang Wen: "Sister, it's a little hot here, I'll go back to the room to rest first." Huang Wen hurriedly stood up apologetically and said, "Sister, don't be angry, both of them are unintentional and can't do anything." Zhou Hou saw her apologetic face, and reluctantly smiled: "I know this." Accompanied by Huang Wen, he left the flower hall. The second daughter left with a gust of fragrant wind, and Wu Yingying's eyes seemed to return to some clarity, staggered to his feet, and followed.

After Xin Gu drank a little soup alone, he saw that there was no one around, wrapped most of the leg of mutton with a tablecloth, and left staggeredly.

Out of the house, the cold wind blew, Xin Gu Shen was sober for a little while, he was very drunk, although he drank a lot, but not to get drunk on the street, just walked aimlessly, unconsciously arrived at the door of Zhu Huilan, a household under his rule.

After signing the deed of military and civilian jurisdiction, he had the responsibility to protect Zhu Huilan, and he came here once when he had nothing to do, and walked around the house twice with a cold face, just like a beast swearing its territory. Because of this, although there are many soldiers and civilians in the city who are interested in Zhu Huilan, after careful inquiry, they learned that this beauty was under the rule of Captain Xin, and they all dispelled their thoughts.

Maybe it was the upsurge of alcohol, Xin Gu suddenly wanted to see this woman who was protected by himself, so he stepped forward and patted the door without thinking, and after patting for a while, Zhu Huilan saw clearly through the crack in the door that it was him, so he opened the door unhappily, and smelled a smell of wine in his face, and then opened the door with a strong force, and Xin Gu stumbled in.

Finally came, Zhu Huilan felt a little gloomy in her heart, but she looked at Xin Gu with a happy face, what did he want to do, could he resist?

Xin Gu squinted his eyes and looked at it for a long time, this Han woman seemed to have just been woken up by him and hurriedly got up, only wearing thin clothes, messy sideburns, and her face was red in the cold wind, standing in the courtyard like a flower tree, it was really pitiful, he just wanted to come in to see this person, but he really came in, but he had nothing to say, he only handed over the leg of mutton wrapped in a satin tablecloth in his hand, and said in a rough voice: "Here you go." ”

He insisted on handing it over, but Zhu Huilan lowered his head and had to take it, turned around and walked back into the house, and Xin Gu also followed. Zhu Huilan sat down on the head of the bed, untied the placket of her clothes with her fingers that had been frozen open these days, closed her eyes, and desperately tried to hold back the tears that almost burst out of her eyes. After a long time, there was still no movement, and when she opened her eyes, she found that Xin Gu had not left at some point, and gently closed the door tightly as she left. Zhu Huilan finally couldn't help crying, crying and scolding: "You bastard, you dead man!"

On the street outside the door, Xin Gu unconsciously sneezed a lot, it was so cold, and he couldn't help but regret that he didn't leave it in the woman's warm quilt just now. As early as when they were slaves in the leather tent, many maids hooked up with these sturdy slaves, and Xin Gu also tasted the forbidden taste of these Liao emperors. Later, as a horse thief, on the grassland, a piece of meat, a broken bow, or half a lump of brick tea, you can find a woman to sleep for a night. But today he just wanted to see the woman, who was sitting at the head of the bed and suddenly lost interest.

The night breeze is getting colder and colder, Xin Gu tore off his leather jacket, let the cold wind whistling and licking his body exuding heat, a warm blood seemed to be boiling, straight to the top door, he just wanted to shout towards the deep sky, I am no longer a lowly slave, I am no longer a horse thief, I am the commander of the left army under the command of the Lord, I follow the Lord to fight in the north and south, seize the land and cattle and sheep, and cut off those arrogant and noble heads.

In the autumn of the year of Bingzi, Wu Gong and Xin Gong drank, drank and shouted, saying that the king called the emperor more traitorous male rats, stealing the country, fish and flesh to give birth to the people, and I wish the prince to be my sharp blade, sweep the world, and kill it. Xin Gong was drunk and said with a smile, if you are like this, what should you do? Wu Gong kowtowed with his fingers, and said with a smile, "Good head, you try to take it."

The Xiaohan sheep slaughtering banquet obviously greatly improved the morale of the military and civilians in Lanzhou, and people are often like this, and when they have a little comfort in the high pressure, they will feel full of energy. The sheep houses that each battalion was responsible for building, as well as the reserves of firewood and grass, were carried out quickly, and finally completed all the preparations before the severe winter snow. Seeing that the New Year was approaching, there was an optimistic atmosphere in the commanding embassy's mansion. Zhou Hou also untied the knot, and together with Huang Wen, he took the servants of the command envoy's mansion to sew winter clothes for the sergeants. Lanzhou is different from the south of the Yangtze River, the silk and satin cloth are expensive, and the land is close to the north, and the Shuozhou Khitan is better, sheepskin, rabbit skin and other prices are low, so the winter clothes of the sergeants are all Pikan shoulders plus silk cloth lining and cuffs, and then covered with the popular Uighur robes, tied with a wide leather belt, and pinned with a waist knife, which not only shelters from the cold and wind, but also is beautiful and mighty, which provokes the people of Lanzhou to be extremely greedy. This winter, the households did not have any production, all the materials were supplied by the Lanzhou government, the lack of sheepskin, but it did not prevent them from modifying the robes on their bodies according to the standard of the sergeant, the Lanzhou army and the government did not prohibit it, the unique dress and social structure, so that the merchants from other places entered Lanzhou, often there was a feeling of being in a foreign land.

"Not long after this Wu hero arrived here, he not only made the military and people of Lanzhou return to their hearts, but also changed the customs and changed the Han family system. Kang Khotan said to the attendant Ge Siheng next to him with a complicated expression, his words were not unprovoked, after his hometown Samarkand was captured by the Arabs, many people converted to *** religion, and their way of life was very different from before, and it would be difficult for these people to support the restoration of the country. A few days ago, he also contacted Shi Yuanguang, who was already in the official residence of Lanzhou, and under the temptation of talking, he found that Shi Yuanguang had a heart for Lanzhou, and once he asked about the secrets of the military state, he was hesitant and refused to say anything. In desperation, he had to ask Shi Yuanguang to make an appointment with Wu Yingying on his behalf.

Shi Yuanguang strode out of the mansion, and said without humility or arrogance: "Khotan, the commander invites the adults to come in." "There is too much difference between the current Shi Yuanguang and the Sogdian warrior whom Kang Khotan knew in the past and drew his sword at the slightest disagreement. Although Shi Yuanguang a year ago was brave and irritable, and even always gave the elders of the clan a headache, he still had some vague obedience and even inferiority in front of Kang Ke Khotan, the sister-in-law of the Sogdian leader Kang Qu Dagan. But now, after frequent bloody battles and long expeditions, with hundreds of soldiers and almost the same number of households, and from time to time he had to be the chief referee in disputes, he had become mature, introverted, but confident, like a treasure knife hidden deep in the sheath, which made Kang Khotan no longer talk to him as casually as before. Kang Khotan bowed to Shi Yuanguang and stepped inside.

I saw that Wu Yingying was already in the flower hall, and said with a smile: "Khotan, is the old Kang Quda in good health?" Kang Khotan hurriedly said: "My father specially sent a villain to greet the commander because he took stock of a batch of goods going west in the Khitan, and my father said that Lord Wu is an old friend of my Sogdian merchants, and if you have anything to help, just ask."

Wu Yingying smiled: "I'm afraid Lao Kang is not such a generous person, but don't worry, this time I will show you a good thing." After speaking, he opened a mahogany box beside him, took out a delicate white porcelain bowl, and smiled at Kang Ketian: "How do you see this kiln porcelain burning?"
