Chu Mubai and Buchen returned to their hearts like arrows, and at the end of the year, they triumphed and arrived in the capital, accompanied by the envoys of Xiliang who came to negotiate peace.

As Mo Guhan said that night, he personally went out of the palace to greet him, selected the best wine in the palace, said that he would reward the three armies, and allowed Yuehua to accompany him.

The emperor and queen personally went out of the palace to greet the hard-working soldiers of the three armies, which was a grand event. The ministers were introduced, the generals participated, hundreds of officials followed, the dragon flag was displayed, the drums were sounded, and the road was mighty.

Yuehua was dressed in a costume, a phoenix costume and a hairpin, sitting on Mo Guhan's side, and involuntarily remembered that the day of the wedding of the two was like this.

She peeked at Mo Guhan, wearing a golden nine Yu crown, wearing a golden dragon robe, as steady as Tingyue, contemptuous of arrogant things, and the emperor's bearing was natural.

Mo Gu Han didn't squint, and felt that Yuehua was secretly looking at her: "What should I do in a while, have I informed you of all the teachings sent by the Ministry of Rites?" ”

Yuehua hurriedly retracted her gaze and said, "Back to the emperor, I already understand." ”

"The others are not worried, but there is only one thing, I have to tell the queen to know."

"Please give instructions to the emperor."

"The queen must control her alcohol addiction properly at that time."

The corners of Mo Guhan's lips twitched, and Yuehua couldn't stop his mouth because he couldn't hate. Seeing that he was serious, he thought he was telling him something serious, and he listened to him seriously, but he didn't expect to be ridiculed.

"The concubine will not drink again in the future!"

Yuehua was angry and turned around, no longer paying attention to him, and was coquettish. That night, it was obvious that he deliberately drunk himself and made himself ugly, and the next day he played tricks on himself like that, wasting a day of worrying about himself.

Mo Guhan's hand quietly reached over, and in the wide cuffs, he held her hand tightly in the palm of his hand.

"On such a cold day, didn't you bring a stove?"

Yuehua was worried about being seen, so she secretly struggled twice, but was held tighter instead.

"There are people all around."

Mo Guhan didn't care: "You and I are husband and wife, what are you afraid of?" ”

The phrase "husband and wife" made her inexplicably reassured, and the corners of her lips were slightly hooked.

"What does Chu Mubai look like?" Mo Guhan suddenly asked, "Is there a good look?" ”

There was a little childishness in his question, which made Yuehua uneasy.

"In my impression, my brother is not as majestic and masculine as His Majesty, nor is he as handsome and elegant as Shao Xiang, with graceful eyebrows, but he is also heroic, and his son is like jade. It's just that after five years of wind and sand, I don't know what it has become. ”

Yuehua was looking forward to it, and when she spoke, she smiled beautifully, Mo Guhan squinted at her, her subordinates exerted her strength, snorted coldly, and stopped talking.

Yuehua was inexplicable, and along the way, he didn't know where he was wrong, which provoked his awkward temperament.

The honor guard marched out of the north city gate, and Bu Chen had already arrived with a large army and was stationed in the camp north of the city. Received the news from the guards, assembled and stood by, saw the emperor's guard of honor from afar, and bowed to the ground, and the soldiers shouted long live the mountain, and the cheers were thunderous.

Mo Guhan and Yuehua stepped down hand in hand, slowly glanced around, and suddenly felt pride and pride in their hearts.

Rong Xiang announced the holy decree of commendation for the generals in the army, Mo Guhan and Yuehua held wine cups to worship the heavens and the earth and the soldiers who died on the battlefield, all in accordance with the old rules and regulations, especially sacred, to show respect.

After the worship, Mo Guhan wanted to reward the meritorious ministers to celebrate the wine. He handed the bowl full of amber wine in his hand to Bu Chen, and then announced in a deep voice that Chu Mubai stepped forward.

Yuehua couldn't hold it anymore, her eyes were eagerly patrolling the crowd, but there were thousands of troops, kneeling on the ground, almost the same figure, where could she tell the difference?

Someone raised his head from the army, and walked step by step in the direction of Yuehua, heroic, magnificent, a jade face in memory, mottled by the baptism of the wind and sand at the border pass, faded the youth of the beginning, precipitated the youthful frivolity in the war, and the eyebrows and eyes were resolute, showing wisdom and determination.

Yuehua's hand couldn't help but start to tremble slightly, Rao was desperately suppressing and admonishing herself again and again, when her brother who had been separated from life and death for five years said goodbye, she still couldn't help but be excited, and she couldn't wait to run in front of him in three or two steps, like when she was a child, she grabbed Chu Mubai's arm affectionately, raised her face and jumped on her feet, and called him happily: "Brother Mubai"

Chu Mubai didn't seem to understand her eagerness, step by step, lowering her eyelids, as if her legs were filled with lead, and her steps were slow and difficult.

Yuehua couldn't help but raise her legs, wanting to take a step closer to him, and as soon as the wine bowl in her hand shook, a wine with a rich and mellow aroma spilled out, and the cold wine alerted her.

Chu Mubai finally walked to the front and knelt on one knee: "The last will be." ”

"This defeat of Xiliang, Chu Mubai has made a great contribution, and he will give a celebration wine."

Mo Guhan stood in the scorching cold wind, and let the north wind raise his fox fur and crane, his long hair fluttering like ink, and his words were generous and loud.

"Long live Emperor Xie, long live Long live, Long live Queen Xie, Queen Xie, long live, thousand years old!"

Yuehua held the wine bowl in her hand, her fingertips were cut by the whistling north wind, and she was a little numb, but there was a fire burning in her heart, she leaned down and handed the wine bowl to Chu Mubai's hands that were raised above her head, and couldn't help shouting "brother".

There was a slight tremor in his voice, like a howling north wind blowing the water.

Chu Mubai, who was kneeling on the ground, was obviously shocked, and the spilled wine flowed down his sleeve and into his arm. Wet the cuffs.

He hurriedly stabilized his mind, picked up the wine bowl, drank all the spirits in the bowl, and still didn't dare to raise his eyes: "Thank you, Queen Mother!" ”

"Good!" Mo Guhan was arrogant and said with a sonorous voice: "With young heroes like Chu Mubai to protect the family and defend the country, why don't I worry about peace in the world in Chang'an?" ”

The soldiers behind him stood up, raised their arms and shouted: "Protect the family and defend the country, the world is peaceful!" ”

The voice is high-pitched, reaching into the sky.

Mo Guhan's eyebrows and eyes were flying, his voice was like a bell, and he was frustrated: "It's a peaceful world!" I announced that these 30,000 good sons and daughters who were born and died with Chu Mubai will be called the Taiping Army from today onwards, and Chu Mubai will be the general of Taiping, with unified jurisdiction, drills, and responsible for guarding my Chang'an Taiping! Tomorrow there will be a celebration banquet, killing pigs and sheep, and rewarding everyone! ”

The soldiers thundered with joy, and Chu Mubai kowtowed in thanks. The civil and military officials behind Mo Guhan all changed color, looked at each other, and then their eyes flashed, and they set aside their calculations in their hearts.

Yuehua was stunned. Unexpectedly, what Mo Guhan gave Chu Mubai was not only an official position, but also real military power! This represents his trust! Although, Mo Guhan's original intention may just be to free these 30,000 military horses from Chang Zhiyi's control and compete with him.

At that moment, Yuehua's heart was warm, twisting her face to peek at Mo Guhan, the people around her were passionate and generous, swallowing mountains and rivers, straight like a high mountain, which made her yearn for it, and even later, what Mo Guhan said made the three armies emotional, and she never went to her heart again.

Mo Guhan turned his head and saw that Yuehua was looking at him, as if he had forgotten himself, he couldn't help frowning, and said with a proud and cold voice: "Have you seen enough?" ”

Yuehua lowered her head, the corners of her lips curled slightly, and she was proud.

Mo Guhan walked straight past her: "What are you still stupid about?" Back! ”

Yuehua reluctantly glanced at the endless sky, and then turned her head to look at Chu Mubai, who had already stood up, just as he looked at him, his eyes were facing each other, and he felt that the ups and downs of the past few years all came to his heart in an instant, and his eyes were wet.

Chu Mubai's appearance when he left, Yuehua couldn't remember it clearly. In the memory, only he turned over and got on the horse, and the back of the resolute departure, in her blank and helpless eyes, gradually drifted away.

In the days that followed, she was worried day and night, afraid of the rough wind and sand at the border pass, afraid of the sharp weapons of the Xiliang people, afraid that he would be cold and lonely, and she was tied up for more than five years, and finally met today, but it was just a glimpse.

He had already faded from the youthfulness of a young man, his eyebrows and eyes were full of perseverance and wisdom, and his eyes were bloodshot, and it was difficult to hide his haggardness.

Yuehua's heart began to throb, he must have been not doing well, or he was too hardworking, otherwise how could he be like this?

Chu Mubai lowered his head in a panic, as if he was afraid that Yuehua would peep into his mind. Yuehua wanted to ask, there were a thousand words to say, and she wanted to ask him with concern: "Is it good?" Although it was only two steps apart, there was no exit after all.

Yuehua stepped on the imperial chariot, and Mo Gu snorted coldly: "Is it so reluctant?" ”

Yuehua felt that he was not close to people, he and his brother had been separated from life and death for more than five years, and when they saw him for the first time today, he was not allowed to say a few words, and he was still a little angry.

"Is the emperor angry with his concubine?" Yuehua slandered in her heart, but she still smiled smartly.

Mo Guhan glared at her with disgust: "If you keep grinding, just wait for it to get dark, and you won't have time to go to the maple forest." ”

Yuehua's body was shocked: "What did you say?" ”

Mo Guhan had already turned his head and didn't look at her: "Don't you want to go and worship General Chu?" ”

Yuehua only felt incoherent in an instant, and didn't know how to express her feelings to Mo Guhan: "I... I ......"

"What a hassle!" Mo Guhan sneered lightly, then ignored her anymore, turned his head and instructed Bu Chen, who had already followed him back by his side: "Go to Fenglin, take Chu Mubai with you, and the others will go back to their homes." ”

Buchen answered the order, and when he turned his head, Yuehua had already happily held Mo Guhan's hand, and his eyes were full of joy.

The civil and military officials retreated, and the royal sword turned around and went straight towards the maple forest.

"Concubine, thank you, Your Majesty."

Mo Guhan's face was still stiff, and he didn't show any relief: "Don't be sentimental, I just admire General Chu, and I am grateful that he once lived and died for my people in Chang'an, and defended the peace of Chang'an for more than ten years." ”

Yuehua smiled happily and bent her eyebrows: "The concubine is really affectionate, and she regards this as a piece of affection from the emperor." ”

After speaking, he secretly scratched Mo Guhan's palm gently, Mo Guhan coughed lightly, and whispered uncomfortably: "Don't make trouble!" ”

Yuehua really sat down, as serious as him, but his hands were like glue, and he didn't let go of them.
