Chapter 80
The day before the Qin army set off to return to Qin, Liu Chang was so flustered that he couldn't sit or stand.
Xuanyuan Wenmei glanced at Liu Chang, who was walking around in front of her, and didn't speak, and continued to tinker with the bottles and cans on the desk, but her heart was sweet and funny.
A few days ago, when he was still in Phoenix Town and didn't return to the barracks, he asked her openly and secretly if she wanted to go to Xianyang to have a look. She didn't have to think about it to know what he meant, but she didn't directly promise him that she was willing to go to Xianyang, only saying that she still had a lot to do in Bashu.
Liu Chang finally stopped walking, sat opposite Xuanyuan Wenmei, and stammered: "Wenmei, that, the army will return to Qin tomorrow, and I will definitely go back too, you ...... I ......"
"What are you, what am I?" Xuanyuan Wenmei looked at him with wide eyes, pretending not to know what he wanted to say.
"Wen Mei, let me tell you, this has been said since ancient times, marrying a chicken and marrying a dog with a dog, that is to say, where the husband goes, the lady must also go. You see, your husband is going back to Xianyang, and you must go with him, right? Liu Chang swallowed his saliva and looked at her nervously, afraid that she would refuse.
"You're not my husband, why do I have to follow?"
"What's not counting, your whole body is mine, and you still want to deny it?"
As soon as Liu Chang heard her say that he was not her husband, his voice jumped a lot higher in anger, and he shamelessly said that he had "eaten" Xuanyuan Wenmei, which was something that only they knew, but he said it casually without concealment. Fortunately, there is no one else now, otherwise it would be a shame.
Xuanyuan Wenmei looked at the door in a panic, grabbed a vial and threw it at Liu Chang, and said angrily: "Shut up, let you talk nonsense."
Liu Chang slapped away the flying small bottle unhurriedly, completely inappropriate, and continued: "Let me tell you, if you don't go to Xianyang with me, I will tie you up and take you back, this matter is not negotiable." ”
Liu Chang suddenly felt that it was useless to be reasonable, if Wen Mei said no, he would definitely have no other way than to pack her up and take her away.
"You're going to have to be me, aren't you?"
"That's nature, it can only be you."
"Then why don't you just stay here with me, and ask me to follow you to Xianyang? Or do I not deserve you to stay for me? ”
Liu Chang heard her question, sighed, got up and sat beside her, ignored her pushing, hugged her tightly, and didn't let her leave.
"Wen Mei, listen, I've seen all women in Xianyang, and I can't remember how many my godfather and godmother stuffed in front of me. I haven't taken a fancy to any of them, it's not that they're bad, it's that I don't care about them at all. But for you, I don't need others to force me, I fell in love with myself, you also saw it, I fell in love with me, I don't know how to be subtle, I only know how to run after you every day, because you have to be you, so, no matter when, you are worthy of my love, you can't doubt this, you know? ”
Xuanyuan Wenmei looked at him in surprise, this was the first time Liu Chang spoke so seriously in front of her. said it so sincerely, so sincere that it was moving, it turned out that he was serious, so good-looking, almost made her completely fall. No, not almost, she really fell into his direct and simple affection, and her heart was saved from the darkness by him.
"Then what if I want you to stay in Bashu?"
Liu Chang's body stiffened, and he said after a while: "Wen Mei, in this world, in my first life, the most important people were my master and the king, they are people I can't give up no matter what." Then the little fairy appeared, and you appeared. Now for me, they are my family, you are the woman I love the most, and I don't want to give up anyone. So, can you follow me and make me selfish to you. I promise that for the rest of my life, I will let you bully you as the price of my selfish demands on you, okay? Liu Chang looked at Xuanyuan Wenmei almost pleadingly.
Xuanyuan Wenmei didn't speak, just leaned on his arms, closed his eyes, and breathed calmly.
"That, Wenmei, you... If you say a word, if you don't say a word, my heart will almost jump out. ”
The corners of Xuanyuan's mouth rose under the veil, he didn't lie, his heart was indeed beating fast.
"You go back to Xianyang, I'm ......"
"What about you?" Liu Chang hurriedly pushed her out of his arms slightly, and his anxious eyes met her calm big eyes.
"I ......"
"I don't care, you have to go too, anyway, the sky is falling, and it can't stop me from taking you away." Liu Chang's nature is Laipi, but now that it is fully revealed, it is not easy to confess affectionately, so he can only Laipi.
"I'm ...... in Bashu"
"You can't be in Bashu, I'm not here, what are you doing here......"
"Shut up and listen to me." Xuanyuan Wenmei covered his chattering mouth with her hand in annoyance and glared at him angrily.
Liu Chang looked at Xuanyuan's warm and beautiful eyes, and didn't dare to play a scoundrel anymore, nodding wordlessly, indicating that he would shut up.
Xuanyuan Wenmei saw that he had calmed down, so she said softly: "You go back first, and I will go to Xianyang to find you after I finish dealing with the affairs of Bashu." ”
"Really?" Liu Chang's aggrieved eyes just now bloomed again, but when she thought about it, it was wrong, she asked him to go back first, so when would she go to Xianyang.
"Well, I'm going back to Yaoshan to deal with some things, I've been busy here before, and I haven't had time to go back and sort it out. And my brother, I can't leave without explaining anything, so I have to go back to the Ba Palace, after all, this is where I grew up, gone, maybe forever, I have to say goodbye. But tomorrow the army will leave, and I naturally don't have enough time. ”
"How long will that take?"
"It will take ten days and half a month at the earliest."
"Then I'll stay with you, and then go back to Xianyang together."
"Is that okay? Will the king agree? ”
"He will definitely agree, if he doesn't agree, I will go to his bedroom every day to sleep, and I won't let him have a good time."
Liu Chang said so, it was good to say before, but now that the little fairy is back, he still goes to "spend the night", and he can't be killed by winning the government.
"Okay then."
Xuanyuan Wenmei smiled, not much insistence, in fact, she was also willing Liu Chang to stay with her to deal with things.
Before Liu Chang proposed to let her go to Xianyang, she had already thought about this problem. It's just that at that time, she was still hesitant to leave Bashu. Because although she slowly accepted Liu Chang's intentions, she was not so sure about whether she was also Liu Chang's heart.
Until that day, she found out that because Liu Chang was just stealing a kiss as usual, she was used to it. But Liu Chang didn't hold it that day, and the more she kissed, the deeper she kissed, until she herself was also deeply involved, and the two naturally formed a good moon.
It was that day that she woke up to the fact that if she hadn't loved him deeply, with her own character, it would have been impossible for her to give herself to him willingly.
Therefore, the plan to return to Xianyang together is not Liu Chang's hope alone, she also hopes for it, because she also identifies him.
Liu Chang was happy in his heart, as long as Wen Mei was willing to follow him to Xianyang, what could not be done ten days and half a month late. He just accompanies her, hehe, so happy, so happy!!
The next day, Liu Chang and Xuanyuan Wenmei left the army and went to Yaoshan. And the Qin army led by Ying Zheng traveled through Badi and set off back to Qin.
Feng Daicheng and Xuanyuan Daokang sent the Qin army out of Badi at the gate of the official road of the Qin State in Badi.
At this time, there were a lot of people in Badi, and even in Shudi. They all gathered outside the city to see off the Qin army. They didn't expect that because of the rebellion of the King of Shu, the King of Qin not only came to solve it in person, but also completely smashed the sinister conspiracy of the King of Shu. Almost, if someone like the King of Shu succeeds, how can the people of Bashu have a good life?
What moved them afterwards was that the King of Qin did not leave this remote Bashu immediately, but deliberately stayed to make a comprehensive deployment, and completely included Bashu in the protection of the Great Qin Empire.
Badi is naturally still the king of Ba as the manager of Badi, which is equivalent to an official of the Qin State. Shu Di was unexpected, the king of Qin actually handed over the management to the prince of the Feng family, but the king of Qin appointed another supervisory official with Xianyang as the dominant position. That is to say, there are both aristocratic leaders familiar to the local people in Bashu and Xianyang, as well as the military and political departments appointed by Xianyang. We can supervise and govern each other. This arrangement met the needs of the people of Bashu and allowed Xianyang to get full command. Everyone in Bashu praised such an arrangement.
When the most luxurious car in the team passed by, the people on both sides whispered, knowing that it was the car of the king and queen of Qin, some worshipped, and some whispered: I heard that the queen has the ability to reach the sky, and the wolf king listens to her, and can command the big bird to take her to the sky. Some people say that this is a magic skill, others say that it is witchcraft, and they say that the queen is a demon girl who destroys the country and the world.
All kinds of voices came into the ears of Perxi and Yingzheng in the car, Yingzheng was a little angry, and he didn't want anyone to talk about Perxi.
"It's okay, Brother Zheng, don't be angry, it doesn't matter how you talk about it all day, I don't hurt anyone, sooner or later they won't have anything to say."
"But I still don't want to hear that nonsense."
"We can't stop everyone from saying it. What's more, I do have "skills" that no one else has, and they are not wrong. Percy smiled indifferently.
"I'll gag them for you as long as you want."
"Brother Zheng doesn't need to do anything deliberately, I believe that facts speak louder than words, as long as I can be with Brother Zheng, with your trust and love, I don't care what I say in the whole world."
"Okay, as Xi'er wishes." Ying Zheng kissed her, leaving behind those unpleasantness, as long as she was by his side, he believed that everything could be solved.
It's just that the road to the future, whether it is a happy avenue paved with flowers, or full of thorns, who knows? But at the moment they are happy, that's for sure.
Feng Daicheng dismounted and watched Ying Zheng and Perxi's car drive being hugged by the army in the middle and gradually moving away. He didn't expect that the final outcome would be such an arrangement, at least he didn't expect that he would be reused by Win Zheng.
The premise of being reused is that Perxi chooses to forgive, and she says that she does have the intention of revenge for pursuing the death of Princess Crane. It's just that she didn't expect it to be such a mistake, he didn't do it on purpose, the purpose was to save her, if she chose to ask for his life to pay for it, wouldn't it be contrary to right and wrong. What's more, the real murderer is Feng Jiefu, but his comrades are still unknown. In other words, the person who really wanted to harm her was someone else besides Feng Jiefu, and that person was most likely someone in Zhao State.
When Percy himself said that he would not pursue it again, he did not feel relieved, but begged Percy to let him do something to repay her a lot anyway.
However, Poxi said that as long as he took care of the people of Shu, it was the best reward, and Shu was handed over to him to take care of, and she and King Qin believed that he could do well.
He nodded wordlessly and agreed, if it was the hope of Perxi and Yingzheng to govern Shudi, then he could only go all out and live up to his trust.
Just as everyone watched Perxi and Ying Zheng's chariot leave, an earth-shattering wolf roar came from the mountains in the distance. As long as you look up at the source of the sound, you can faintly see a huge wolf beast standing on the top of the mountain and roaring three times in the direction of Perxi's departure.
The people were all surprised, it was definitely the legendary wolf king. The wolf king in broad daylight actually appeared in front of everyone's eyes, which is a wonderful thing that is rare to see in a hundred years. This proves that Queen Percreek and the Wolf King have a special connection. But Queen Poxi did not order the wolf king to harm the people. Even that night, the wolf king led the wolves back and forth from Phoenix Town to support the Qin army, and not a single ordinary person was harmed.
Phoenix Town was swept back and forth by wolves several times, and nothing was changed. Therefore, many ordinary people actually praise Perxi's special ability, and the statement of a demon girl is simply untenable.
Perxi opened the window of the car and poked his head out to look at the top of the mountain where the wolf king was standing, I don't know if the wolf king also saw Perxi, and it roared proudly. Perxi knew that the wolf king had only appeared to see her off, and she waved her hand gratefully to the wolf king. It wasn't until the carriage slowly turned around and couldn't see the top of the hill that Perxi stopped and turned his head back into the car and smiled at Ying Zheng.
A month later, Ying Zheng finally returned to Xianyang Palace under the expectation of the ministers, but he was a little bit different about the return of Queen Poxi. Because the queen has "demon magic" from Bashu to the princes and countries, the world is saying that Queen Poxi is the reincarnation of demons, and has the ability to destroy the country and the world.
However, the King of Qin treated him like a jewel, which was originally the happiest thing for the whole Qin country. Now that it's spread like this, how can they not be worried?
The day after Ying Zheng came back, he did not stop, but went to court on time. Because he must solve the major matter of marrying Perxi as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night.
On the way back from Bashu, he had already learned from the mouth of the dark guard that the matter of Poxi had been spread all over the world, and all of them were slanderous words.
Glancing at the most powerful ministers of the Qin State below, Ying Zheng said in a low and majestic voice: "In order to quell the rebellion in Shudi, this king has not been in Xianyang for a few months, and everyone has worked together to stabilize the Qin State, and this king is very pleased. ”
"Wait for the death of the minister!"
The audience replied in unison.
"Great King, Minister......"
"Today, while all the ministers are here, this king happens to have a major event to announce that the whole Qin country has been looking forward to, that is, on the next day, this king will hold a grand wedding with Queen Perxi."
Ying Zheng interrupted the clan ~ Zhen Guojun and didn't give him a chance to speak. I want to know what this old stubborn is going to say, because of his prestige in the clan and his respect for the king of Zhenguo, it is not good to win the government and scold him head-on, so he can only strike first.
"Your Majesty, don't rush this matter."
Zhen Guojun was the first to object, and Ying Zheng was not in a hurry to refute it, but asked in surprise: "What does Zhen Guojun mean?" The marriage of this king and the queen and the spread of branches for the Qin State is not what the king of Zhenguo is looking forward to the most? Why are you still in no hurry? ”
"The king, the minister also agrees with the opinion of the king of Zhenguo, we are the mother of a country in Daqin, and we need to think more about it, so as not to change the fortunes of the country."
Another important minister, Wang Xuan, also seconded the proposal, this is the prime minister of the Qin State, with a pivotal position, and the weight of his speech is no less than that of the king of Zhenguo.
Ying Zheng looked at these ministers, when he was not in a hurry, they were as anxious as ants on a hot pot, and when he was in a hurry, they were old.
"What else does this king need to consider as a queen? Do you think that this king is a fool and that no one can see it? ”
Ying Zheng smiled gently and harmlessly, the sword in his hand was pulled out a little and thrust back with a sonorous sound, and the same action kept going back and forth. The people below began to bow their heads, and some of the ministers who had wanted to second the proposal shut up and did not dare to say more. Because once King Qin laughed so much that he fell into sentient beings, the more it showed that he was very unhappy, and it was always right for a smart person not to speak at this time.
"The king forgives his sins, how dare the ministers look at the king like this, they are just worried about the fortunes of the country."
"Oh, will the queen of this king make the fortune of the country bad?"
"The minister is brave, I heard that the queen has the ability of witchcraft, how can the mother of this country be such a woman?" Zhen Guojun was not afraid of the "threat" of winning the government, and directly stabbed it.
"Oh, Zhenguojun, what you said can't be done, although I, Meng Wu, didn't personally watch what happened in Shudi. But my son Meng Tian saw it with his own eyes, and he said that if our queen hadn't asked the wolf king of the Bashu ox to help, it would be hard to say whether our king and the Qin army would have been safe or not. Also, our queen was seriously injured in order to save our king, and finally everyone came back to Xianyang together, we don't appreciate the queen, why do you still slander her, how inappropriate is this. ”
Although Meng Wu is no longer a military general, he still has an idle position, listening to and talking about it in the court. The rumors about Queen Percreek are overwhelming outside, and they are not good words. Originally, he believed it, but there was a guest at home, who knew everything about Queen Perxi, and after some explanation, he had no doubts.
"General Meng himself said that what kind of wolf king is it, if the queen is not a demon magic, how can she be moved?" Zhen Guojun still retorted unapprovingly.
"Zhenguo Jun doesn't know that the wolf king was not called by the queen, but he himself was willing to come to help."
"Nonsense, how can the wolf king bring so many wolves to help if he is fine, how can there be such an abnormal thing in the whole world?"
"It's okay, it's okay, it's because when our queen passed through the wolf king's territory, she saved a few wolf cubs. I didn't expect it to be the sons of the wolf king, the wolf king is a human spirit animal, it is grateful for the kindness of our queen, so he came to help, not our queen asked for it, not to mention any witchcraft, our queen is a weak woman who has no power to restrain the chicken. That's why you say, "This...... Beautiful woman, even such a fierce wolf king was impressed by the queen's kindness, so is it bad for our national fortune to have a king and such a queen to protect it? If you oppose it, it will damage our Great Qin's national fortunes."
"The Qin army who came back didn't say that, they all said that it was the wolf king commanded by the queen, not what you said because the wolf king was grateful." Prime Minister Wang Xuan was stunned when he heard it, this old general Mengwu said it clearly, and he didn't know what to say.
"Meng Tian, you are the person concerned, you just say, your old father, is what I said is what you saw with your own eyes, you explain to the ministers, I am not at the scene, what I said is not convincing enough, they can't believe what you say."
Meng Wu patted his son Meng Tian who was standing next to him and told him to continue making up, uh, no, just continue.
Meng Tian looked at his father, father and son glanced at each other, Meng Tian reacted and said loudly: "What my father said is true, what the wolf king is really here to repay the queen's kindness, but my father is a little wrong, the queen saved not only its wolf cubs, but also its wolf lady, because when the queen passed by, just in time for the wolf lady to get off the cub, it seems to be a difficult birth, and was saved by our queen, this is true." ”
After listening to Meng Tian's sequel, Meng Wu thought to himself that when he went back at night, he would have to ask his son's mother to reward him with stew pot meat. This kid is so popular with him, he has to praise him well when he goes back, and make persistent efforts in the future, the so-called father-son soldiers.
The corners of Ying Zheng's mouth rose when he heard this, but he forced a smile and echoed: "This king can prove that this is true." ”
After Ying Zheng finished talking nonsense, he pretended to be serious and stared at another important minister~ Li Si.
"What do you think, Lis?"
Li Si came out of the ranks and said: "If you follow what the king and General Meng said, then the queen is naturally a rare good woman in the world, and she should be well-deserved to be the queen of our Great Qin Empire." ”
"The minister agrees with Lord Li."
Meng Yi seconded Li Si's words, because this was Meng Wu's "order" to go out and go to the front. Of course, he seconded it because he had seen Perxi, it was indeed a clean and dusty woman, not a demon girl, not to mention that the king loved her so much.
Li Si has always been a human being, he can do things, and he can also understand the direction of winning politics. The matter of marrying the queen, even if everyone opposes it, the king of Qin must be imperative. And it can be seen that King Qin's attention to the queen is by no means ordinary, otherwise how could he wait for two years.
Knowing that she was in danger in Bashu, Zhao Gao concealed it for a long time before announcing that he had gone to Bashu to quell the rebellion, and he also brought the soldiers and horses of the Qin State with him, which shows how high the queen's status in the heart of the king is.
Since it is something that the king has to do, of course Li Si will not object, he knows that he will never easily offend the king of Qin if he offends anyone.
Ying Zheng looked at Li Si with satisfaction, he knew that Li Si would not object, how could Li Si's ambition not know about Ying Zheng. But he is not a mediocre talent, even if he has hidden ambitions, as long as he can do things, that ambition will be kept for him, and it will not hurt to win the government.
"So, do you still have different opinions?"
"The king, the old minister insists on the original intention, and the queen must be carefully chosen." Zhen Guojun still insisted on his own views and refused to back down.
"Is there anything other than Zhen Guojun who is against it?"
Ying Zheng looked at everyone coldly, except for Zhen Guojun, even Wang Xuan shut up and no longer objected, such a result, Ying Zheng was happy to see it. As for Zhen Guojun, he will find a way to appease him and make him agree. After all, he is a veteran of the Three Dynasties, and he should also be called his uncle, that is, his uncle who is his father Yiren, so his status is very valuable.
In this way, the wedding ceremony of Ying Zheng and Poxi was confirmed, and Ying Zheng ordered Xu Fubu, the first minister of the Qin State, to calculate the best day for the wedding ceremony as soon as possible.
It's just that the faster he wants it, the faster he can't, and he doesn't know where the end of the road is, so he can only go down for a long time!!
