Chapter 157: Catching the Wind and Washing the Dust

Zhao Ling said with a smile: "Brother Huang is not a fool, how can he transfer all the Guanzhong troops to the front line, this move is very likely to lure the snake out of the hole, I took 10,000 people just to give Jiayuguan a gift, if only you and I go, others still think we are big!" ”

Murong Xun asked, "Who is the guard of Jiayu Pass?" ”

Zhao Ling smiled: "Old acquaintance!" The second child of the Huangfu family! ”

"Huangfu Shaohua?" Murong Xun wrinkled his nose and said with a smile: "The hand of the Huangfu family is stretched long enough!" ”

Zhao Ling's smile was unfathomable, "Brother Huang, in the next big game of chess!" He looked at the sky and said with admiration: "I often think that if I were in his position today, I could be so bold and make such a dangerous move!" ”

Murong Xun looked at Zhao Ling quietly, his expression had a respectful admiration for Zhao Che that he couldn't hide, and her heart sank slightly.

After traveling for a day and a night, Murong Xun and Zhao Ling finally felt Jiayuguan.

Huangfu Shaohua personally went out to greet him, he was wearing a white dress, smiling with flowers, "King Qin specially brought the princess to help, it really made Shaohua grateful!" King Qin's loyalty is really worthy of the sun and the moon, and it is called Shaohua's shame! ”

Huangfu Shaohua still has four inseparable stunning maids by his side, he is dressed in white, not like a general guarding the city, but like a talented man who travels. However, because Murong Xun had a history of being plotted by Huangfu Shaohua, he was a little more wary of this person, and remembered that what happened to Xiao Sang was also because of this person, and his heart was even more disgusted.

After a few words of greeting, Huangfu Shaohua invited the two to the gate. And Huangfu Shaohua no matter where he goes, he can't change his exquisite style, this long-standing but simple and even simple house has a new opportunity after the arrival of Huangfu Shaohua, and has been thoroughly decorated inside and out, replaced with exquisite utensils, and added beautiful maids.

Murong Xun and Zhao Ling were taken to a side room to rest first, Murong Xun looked at this luxurious arrangement, and couldn't help but feel that some people were born to enjoy happiness.

In the evening, Huangfu Shaohua set up a banquet for the two of them to wash the dust for them.

And the banquet shows the consistent extravagance of Huangfu Shaohua, the whole banquet of chickens, ducks and fish, the willow waist in the court, and the sound of silk and bamboo, which makes people wonder if this is a war or a peaceful and prosperous world!

Murong Xun was also persuaded to drink several glasses of wine, but most of them were blocked by Zhao Ling, but for Murong Xun to follow Zhao Ling all the way to the front line, it attracted a kind of envy of the masters, and even praised her as a heroine among women and courageous. Murong Xun just smiled blindly and was reluctant to talk more.

Halfway through the banquet, Huangfu Shaohua looked at Zhao Ling and his wife sitting in the first seat, played with the delicate wine glass in his hand, and said with a smile: "During the period of the disappearance of the prince, our Huangfu family was misunderstood!" ”

Zhao Ling said with a smile: "It was Xiao Wang who took the princess around on a whim, and he didn't report to the imperial brother, but he asked the Huangfu family to make people misunderstand, it's really a crime that deserves death!" ”

Huangfu Shaohua smiled silently, and someone at the table immediately said disdainfully: "At the moment of national disaster, the prince still has the heart to travel in the mountains and rivers?" ”

Zhao Ling frowned and said: "When this king set off, the country was still peaceful, and although he regretted it in his heart afterwards, but when he heard that the imperial brother made the emperor the emperor handsome, this king wanted to admire his talent, so he decided that he must have no problem!" And this king has the right to be lazy for a while! ”

Someone at the banquet let out a sneer, "The country is in trouble, the husband is responsible, the prince is so lazy!" It is clearly resentful that His Majesty gave the position to Marshal Huangfu! ”

Zhao Ling smiled faintly, there was no dissatisfaction in his eyes, Murong Xun smiled slightly, and said, "Where did this general see that the prince is dissatisfied with His Majesty?" From the fact that he rushed all the way to the Sifang City to solve the urgent needs of the Sifang City, or did he rush to Jiayuguan in a hurry? ”

No one at the table spoke, if the Sifang City was lost, the object of their battle at the moment might be a barbarian!

Murong Xun said again: "If our husband and wife are so unpopular in Jiayuguan, we can just leave, but the reputation of my prince cannot be tarnished by others, and other things are fine, but this matter of loyalty to the monarch is related to future generations, and we can't afford the name of this second minister!" ”

Huangfu Shaohua said with a smile: "A few generals just ate a few more glasses of wine and said a few nonsense, don't mind the princess!" ”

Murong Xun looked at Huangfu Shaohua coldly, and sneered: "There is a sentence that the princess wants to make clear, as the so-called no wind and no waves, why everyone will think of the Huangfu family as soon as the prince disappears, the second prince must also understand in his heart, and why the prince is missing, the second prince's heart is even clearer!" Her words are ambiguous, the smile on Huangfu Shaohua's face has not diminished, but there is a hint of sharpness in his eyes, and most of the generals on the table here are officers and soldiers who have been guarding the pass for many years, all of them are true blood men, and they don't have so many scheming, but they are just holding grievances for the Huangfu family and despising Zhao Ling for escaping, so Murong Xun might as well make it all clear, she has no intention of currying favor with Huangfu Shaohua, Zhao Ling still has a certain prestige in the military circles, these words will definitely be remembered by the people present, If Huangfu Shaohua dares to play yin in the future, everyone will naturally have more thoughts in their hearts.

There was a temporary silence at the table, not knowing how Huangfu Shaohua would deal with Murong Xun, and suddenly everyone looked at each other, and the banquet was suddenly nervous.

Only Zhao Ling's face did not change, and there was still a smile on his face that was not salty or light, but the fists under the sleeves were gradually tightened.

At this time, a soldier came in and said, "General Huangfu, General Li has returned from a great victory!" ”

I saw Huangfu Shaohua with joy on his face, and said with a smile: "Please!" ”

After a while, I saw a star-eyed sword-eyed, handsome, tall young general striding in, his battle robe and armor, there were still residual blood stains on the armor, and he was holding a cage in his hand, majestic.

His gaze was stunned when he skimmed over Zhao Ling and his wife, and then quickly withdrew his gaze, and when he reached the center of the hall, he saw him clasping his fists and said: "See the prince, the last general is fortunate not to disgrace his life and defeat the enemy, this is the head of the king of Huaixi, please take a look!" ”

When he saw this person, Murong Xun was also surprised, this person was either red-winged, and now he is in the south star!

Zhao Ling glanced at Murong Xun and asked, "Do you know this person?" ”

Murong Xun nodded, and said lightly: "Don't know!" ”

Zhao Ling's dark eyes sank, he didn't know what he was thinking, and said with a faint smile: "Present the head!" ”

The soldier took the box up, Zhao Ling opened it and glanced at it, looking at Li Nanxing's eyes with a little more appreciation, "General Li is really brave!" ”

Huangfu Shaohua on the side was also overjoyed: "General Li really didn't disappoint General Ben!" ”

Zhao Ling smiled faintly and said: "This was originally a reception banquet prepared by General Huangfu for this king, and now this king borrows flowers to offer Buddha, and it should be regarded as a general's celebration banquet!" ”

Li Nanxing hugged his fists and said: "Thank you, Lord Wang!" He raised his eyes to look at Zhao Ling, neither humble nor arrogant.

The banquet began to sing and dance again, but the protagonist has gradually changed to the body of Li Nanxing, who has just returned from victory, Murong Xun is happy, but Zhao Ling looks thoughtful. Murong Xun had something on his mind, and he didn't bother to talk to Zhao Ling, so he slipped out by urinating.

Out of the hall and into the courtyard, a gust of cold wind blew, and the wine on Murong Xun's body suddenly dissipated a little, and the person was also a little sober. She really didn't expect to see Red Wing here! When I heard the news of his death, my heartache was also a real feeling, and when I saw him alive, my joy was also real, eight years of companionship, countless times of living and dying together, their feelings for each other were by no means simple, but those intimate times were in the past, and now, what kind of mentality should she use to face him?

A few leaves in the backyard had already fallen bare, revealing bare branches, and Murong Xun leaned on the trunk, closing his eyes and contemplating.
