Chapter 10: Paradise
On the morning of the second day, Li Shimin took Tang Changyu and Zhao Nan to take over Qingjing City, and Jing Li led Ding Ming and Liuning Liubin to greet him outside the city, welcomed Li Shimin and his party to the main hall, knelt down and presented the table, Li Shimin was very happy, and ordered a banquet to celebrate the peace between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks.
Jingli thanked the emperor for his kindness, and said to Li Shimin: "My emperor Shengming, I hope the emperor will not forget to promise Weichen to let Marshal Tang marry Princess Liuning." ”
Li Shimin said with a smile: "This is the beauty of adults, I haven't forgotten, isn't it two days later, I will order someone to arrange it as soon as possible." ”
When Tang Changyu and Liu Ning heard this, they glanced at each other and smiled embarrassedly.
After the banquet, Li Shimin returned to the room and summoned Tang Changyu and Zhao Nan to come to discuss the matter, Li Shimin was still skeptical, and asked if the two of them were also skeptical. ”
Li Shimin was skeptical and asked Ding Ming: "Why do I believe you?" ”
Ding Ming continued: "Because Jingli wants the life of the minister, the minister does not care about his old life, but the death of the eldest husband should be heavier than Mount Tai, and the minister is willing to saddle the horse for the emperor, and it is not a pity to die." ”
Li Shimin is also a person who loves talents, and hurriedly helped Ding Ming up, and said: "General Ding is really serious, I have long heard of your prestige in the Turks, and it is the luck of Datang to have such a veteran as you, then we will plan it, Marshal Tang, when you get married, you will take down Princess Liuning, so as to coerce them to withdraw from the army." ”
Ding Ming knelt in front of Li Shimin again and begged Li Shimin not to kill Liuning and Liubin, they didn't know it, Li Shimin agreed to him, promising that as long as Liuning and Liubin sincerely returned to Tang, they would be reused.
Tang Changyu never said a word, his brows were tightly furrowed, he never agreed to the emperor's request and never said no, Zhao Nan saw Tang Changyu in a dilemma, he was also very worried, Yu private, of course he hoped that Changyu could marry his beloved, Yu Gong, the emperor's fate was difficult, Zhao Nan knew that Tang Changyu must have thought the same in his heart, and several people had their own ghosts, and ended today's talks.
The night passed in a hurry, it was a new day, the people were busy preparing for tomorrow's wedding, Tang Changyu felt very messy, locked himself in the house, closed the door and saw no one, Zhao Nan knew that Tang Changyu was upset, and brought wine to find Tang Changyu, hoping to help him relieve his sorrows, but he ate Tang Changyu's closed door.
Zhao Nan carried the wine, with a bitter face, walking aimlessly alone, walking and walking but walked to a remote and secluded place, the amazing scenery in front of him was incompatible with this war-torn scenery, only Zhao Nan was secretly amazed in his heart, he didn't know that there was such a paradise in the world.
This is a hidden valley, full of peach trees, the peach trees in the spring are full of pretty peach blossoms, and the place is also full of flowers, the fragrance is fragrant, purple and red, dazzling, and there is a small river, full of smoke, Zhao Nan reached out and touched it, there was still some warm breath.
Zhao Nan took a closer look and saw Chu Chujing sitting under a peach blossom tree, petals fluttering on her shoulders.
Zhao Nan quietly walked to Chu Chu's side, Chu Chu seemed to be Zhao Nan, with the same sad expression as herself, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, she didn't ask him how he got here, just lost his usual liveliness, and said lightly: "I found it here, I call it Lingyuan Valley, how about it, it's good here." ”
Zhao Nan nodded: "The peach blossoms are scorching, the air is clear, it is really a fairyland on earth." Zhao Nan opened the wine jug, took a sip, handed it to Chu Chu again, and asked, "Xiao Nizi, do you dare to drink." ”
Ding Chuchu took the wine jug, took several big sips, and handed it back to Zhao Nan, seeing that he was frowning, he asked cautiously: "My father should tell you about it, are you worried about Sister Liuning and Marshal Tang?" ”
Zhao Nan nodded, and Ding Chuchu continued: "I'm also worried, worried about Sister Liuning's safety, and if Marshal Tang really takes Sister Liuning as a hostage, she will definitely die of sadness, but if I tell Sister Liuning about this, Jingli will be able to surround Qingjing City, and everyone will be in danger, if I don't tell Sister Liuning, then she... Does Marshal Tang really like Sister Liuning? ”
Zhao Nan took her and said: "I know Changyu, although he refuses to admit it, I know that he loves Liuning, but the emperor's fate is difficult, and I understand the pain of choosing between love and loyalty, so I am more worried about whether something will happen to them." ”
Ding Chuchu said to Zhao Nan again: "Then you will help me protect Sister Liuning, right?" ”
Zhao Nan nodded in agreement, Ding Chuchu blinked again, looked at him suspiciously, and asked again: "How do you know that General Tang is in pain, stinky boy, do you have someone you like?" ”
Zhao Nan smiled and said to Chu Chu: "Of course there is, Xiao Nizi, you think everyone is as heartless as you." ”
Ding Chuchu was inexplicably sad when she heard this, and for some reason, she blurted out something that she didn't expect: "I also have someone I like." ”
Zhao Nan looked at her in surprise, Ding Chuchu was a little embarrassed, she couldn't understand why she said that, seeing Zhao Nan's curious eyes, she hurriedly changed the topic and asked: "Stinky boy, don't gossip so much if you are a man, by the way, do you know why I call this Spiritual Wish Valley?" ”
Zhao Nan shook his head, Ding Chuchu looked at the peach blossoms all over the mountain and said: "When I was a child, my sister and I Liuning came to this Qingjing City with my father after separating from the Turkic King City, but I didn't have any friends when I first arrived, so I played alone, and I found this place by chance, I made a wish on this big peach tree, sometimes I wanted a sugar man, sometimes I wanted my father to go out with me, and there were many more, and the results were all fulfilled, I wrote down each wish on paper and buried it under this peach blossom tree, and then dug it out when the wish was realized, Why don't we try it today, I want to write two today, what about you? ”
Zhao Nan was also interested, thinking that he couldn't imagine that this little girl would be so interesting, so he didn't hesitate to write a wish with Chu Chu, Chu Chu wanted to peek, but was stopped by Zhao Nan, Chu Chu pretended to be disdainful and said, "I'm not uncommon to see it." ”
Chu Chu touched Zhao Nan again and said, "Hey stinky boy, I told you my secret base, and I also told you the secret I have since I was a child, we should be good friends." ”
Zhao Nan smiled at Chu Chu and said, "Of course it's Xiao Nizi, you brought me here, I'm in a much better mood." The two of them buried their wishes together and went back, and met Liuning and Liubin who were patrolling the city wall, Zhao Nan smiled and asked Liuning how his sister-in-law was.
Ding Chuchu took Liuning's hand and said to Liubin: "Brother Liubin, you are really, Sister Liuning will get married tomorrow, you also take her to inspect the city gate, I will take Sister Liuning to prepare." ”
