Chapter 227: Return and Rejection
Baidu Search【56 Library】
Elder Fang stepped forward respectfully, he looked at the lady in front of him who was becoming more and more graceful because of her confidence and pleasure, and said in a low voice: "Madam, do you want to embroider some wedding dresses?" Seeing that Zhang Qi was stunned at first, and blushing in a blink of an eye, Fang Lao smiled and said, "When Chang Gong left, he gave orders. Baidu search [56 Library] to see that the spring of the year is coming.
With the good news of the return of King Lanling, there is also the bad news of frequent defeats in this war.
This time, the Northern Zhou Dynasty united the three khans of the Turkic Wooden Pole, Ditou, and Buli, and the Turks, and there were 100,000 cavalry alone. On the Northern Zhou side, Yuwen Hu, who recognized his own shortcomings, appointed a very good general Yang Zhong as the commander of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
It took Yang Zhong two months to break through the Northern Qi Mountains and capture more than 20 cities of Qi in a row. If it weren't for a great ice and snow that occurred once in decades in 563, there was a glacier for more than 1,000 miles from south to north, and the Qi State was afraid of losing half of the country.
In this battle, Gao Zhan, who didn't like the sentence "Three Kingdoms in the world, Lanling is unparalleled", used false news to deceive the king of Lanling to Beihuan Prefecture, and made him sit in the empty city, only to find that the enemy was too powerful. Although Hu Luguang and Duan Shaodi led the Qi State to prevent the enemy from the country, it also suffered heavy losses. Not to mention the large number of jewels that were robbed of the more than 20 cities that were taken away by the Zhou people, that is, the 50,000 cavalry that the King of Lanling had worked hard to train, were also lost by Gao Zhan in this battle.
It can be said that after this battle, the military strength of the Northern Qi began to decline significantly, while the Turks and the Northern Zhou temporarily formed an unbreakable alliance. The good situation created by King Lanling not long ago will no longer exist here.
On the day of the triumph of the army, there was no joy in the whole city.
Zhang Qi sat in the carriage, looking up at the figure that was getting closer and closer, and when the figure rushed out of the team, Zhang Qi ran over happily and threw his arms into his arms.
As soon as he hugged Zhang Qi, King Lanling got into the carriage and ordered: "Go back to the mansion first." ”
"Yes."
After a while, the carriage drove into the Lanling Palace.
Holding Zhang Qi, King Lanling jumped out of the carriage and said in a low voice: "Ah Qi, bathe with me." ”
Zhang Qi blushed and sighed.
After an hour, the refreshed King of Lanling took Zhang Qi's hand and walked into the courtyard. Seeing him come out, Elder Fang hurriedly greeted him, and said happily with red eyes, "Changgong, you're back." ”
"Yes, I'm back." Elder Fang of the Lanling Dynasty smiled. Elder Fang wiped a handful of tears and sighed: "I fight every year, and I don't know when I will have a peaceful day?" ”
King Lanling was silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "In a few days, I will take a leave of absence for half a day." He turned to Zhang Qi and smiled: "I'm tired, and I'm going to get married." ”
Zhang Qi's eyes flashed, and he looked at him shyly and happily for a while, but asked, "This battle?" ”
King Lanling smiled bitterly and said, "In this battle, Your Majesty teased me. In response to the old man's uneasy expression, he explained, "But this is just right, I can take the opportunity to rest for a while." Anyway, he won't touch my private army and remove me from my military position. With his current prestige, no matter how confused Gao Zhan is, he doesn't dare to joke about it.
Speaking of which, Gao Zhan just felt that he had risen too fast and had too much prestige in the Qi State, so he was jealous. But this time the lesson is big enough, and I think he will slowly understand.
Hearing him say this, Old Fang's heart settled down a little. King Lanling turned his head to look at him. asked, "Elder Fang, how is the mansion in Lanling County repaired?" ”
"King Yujun, everything is ready."
"Just do it." King Lanling said with a smile: "I'm going to marry Ah Qi from the fiefdom, but I can't let her lose her dignity." ”
"The old slave knows."
When I was talking and laughing. A familiar, deliberately soft voice came from the gate of the garden, and the voice of "Chang Gong ......" trembled a little. With the excitement of self-patience.
Everyone turned back at the same time. It was Zheng Yu who appeared at the gate of the garden, but after not seeing her for a few months, King Lanling suddenly found that she had lost weight again, and the clothes she wore were empty on her body, and her expression was soft. Although it is coated with a thick powder, it can't hide the tiredness and haggard in his expression.
Zheng Yuman walked over and saw King Lanling's eyes on her girl's bun, Zheng Yu lowered her eyes, and she blessed King Lanling. He said softly: "Changgong, I have always wanted to wait for you to return, but unfortunately I didn't." ”
It's a pity that she didn't wait, it means that Zhang Qi couldn't wait to drive her away, right?
King Lanling glanced at her and said in a low voice, "Have you signed the book of reconciliation?" "During the war season, everyone didn't dare to use flying pigeons to spread Xun family affairs, and Zhang Qi was busy rejoicing when he came back, so he only knew now.
"Yes." A simple word, when Zheng Yu replied. His voice was hoarse, and he held back tears.
King Lanling sighed and said, "How are you now?" ”
"Not good." Zheng Yu replied bluntly, she smiled, "I'm old, and I'm not as good-looking as before." Yang Jing and Lou Yuanzhao have been married a long time ago, so until now, I have not waited for anyone who is willing to marry me. "The Zheng family has not fallen yet, and there are a lot of people who are willing to marry her, but for some unspeakable reasons, she has not accepted those suitors.
Hearing this, King Lanling asked, "What do you need me to do?" ”
Zheng Yu was waiting for his words, she blessed him, raised her face and called sweetly: "Brother." Bending his eyes, although there was not much smile in his eyes, Zheng Yu said softly: "Changgong, you said that you would like to recognize me as a sister after leaving, and now I am here to ask my brother to exchange his promise." "The patriarch said that the Zheng clan can't do without the protection of King Lanling, you know, they specially asked King Lanling to train the ten family children, eight are still just a pawn until now, and the strongest two have just been promoted to captain. In this battle, four people died, including one of the two captains.
In addition, when Gao Zhan took the 50,000 cavalry this time, he also took them away. They could no longer be under the command of the Lanling King, who had always been known for his fairness and loyalty, and this was a great loss for them. It is very likely that they will stop here in their lives, and the Zheng family will not have a single general.
At the same time, Zheng Yu's stepmother also said that if you can't get married, it's good to be a brother and sister. As for Zheng Yu herself, she felt that this move had to be played, so she hurried over.
Hearing Zheng Yu's words, King Lanling smiled, and he was just about to agree, when Cheng Shi on one side suddenly called: "King of the county." He walked up to the king of Lanling and whispered something in his ear, and those standing close could faintly hear "collusion with the monks...... Trick into the palace...... Almost a catastrophe ......".
Listening to this, King Lanling's face changed greatly, he turned his head to stare at Zheng Yu, stared for a while, he closed his eyes, waved his hand and said, "Go out." ”
"But Chang Gong ......," Zheng Yu hurriedly called up coquettishly.
Before she could finish speaking, King Lanling had already smiled lowly, smiling and smiling, he looked at Zheng Yu tiredly, and said slowly: "Ah Yu, leave some thin noodles for me and me, don't toss anymore." In a blink of an eye, he said, "If you change someone else, you will die under my sword at this time!" He looked at Zheng Yu's much older face, and he couldn't bear it in his heart, but he was more disappointed.
Facing Zheng Yu's pale face, the king of Lanling turned around, he took a step and stopped, looked back at Zheng Yu, and said slowly: "The past, the past is also over." Ah Yu, you are free now, it is better to find an honest husband to live a down-to-earth life. Aren't you tired of calculating like this? "With that, he walked away!
Seeing the back of King Lanling leaving, Zheng Yu's face turned blue, she glanced at Cheng Shi resentfully, gritted her teeth and left.
