Before you know it, the sky is bright.

In the station outside, the horses have been found, and the bird is running around on the head of the fat girl of the Jiang family, because the little girl has a lot of snacks, and the bird is not unhappy, and she is also "coo~" to play with others.

There was silence in the tent, and the Queen Mother lay on her side on the floor, because the weather was indeed a little cold, she still put the thin quilt on her body, and kept a distance of two feet from the night terrors, and the flush on her face did not dissipate at this time, and she didn't know how many times she recalled the scene just now in her mind.

Growing up so big, the Queen Mother naturally fantasized about intimate scenes with men, and after seeing the secret history of Cleopatra, she often had such dreams.

But because I have no actual combat experience, dreaming is just like that.

And just now the red stripe was attached to the man's body, and the touch was like being struck by lightning, and the touch of the strong arms and broad chest made people unable to forget it at all, and now they can feel strange in their chests.

It's just like that, if it's as bad as the book, I'm afraid I'm going to really roll my eyes......

The Queen Mother's eyes flickered, and she didn't know what she was thinking, and she found that her thoughts were too off-track, so she stopped her thoughts and looked back.

Night Terror was lying flat on the pillow behind him, already asleep at this time, his cheeks were as cold as ever, but his eyes were moving slightly, and he looked like he was dreaming.

The Queen Mother was a little curious, turned over, and looked up at the Night Terror Hall, wanting to see what the Night Terror Hall was dreaming about, but found that the thin quilt on the Night Terror Hall was only covering her chest, and her neck and shoulders were leaking outside.

The queen mother blinked, probably because she was afraid that the night terror hall would freeze, so she raised her hand to pick up the quilt and wanted to give the night terror hall armpit bedding.

As a result, the night terror in front of her may have mistaken her for the naughty person next to her when she was sleeping, and as soon as she reached over, her wrist was held, and then he took her in his arms.

Trembling~

The Queen Mother was caught off guard and stuck in her arms, her eyes widened a little, and she was secretly relieved to see that the night terror was just a natural reaction to hugging her daughter-in-law in her sleep, not a blatant offense.

She bit her lower lip and cautiously tried to move away, but Night Terror held it quite tightly, and after several failed attempts, she could only poke Night Terror Hall in the chest with her finger:

"Night Terrors?"

"Uh-huh......

The night terror hall didn't know when he fell asleep, and he was dreaming of spring in a daze, and found that there was a caring daughter-in-law around him to help cover the quilt, so he naturally hugged it.

Hearing the call, the night terror hall reacted, and in a blink of an eye, he found the embarrassed Queen Mother, her eyes were slightly startled, and her hand loosened a little:

"Ugh...... How did I fall asleep, so what......

The Queen Mother has been used to it for the past few days, but she didn't care too much, but she just continued to cover him with the quilt and moved it out:

"You go on sleeping, this palace just sees that you are cold, and helps you cover the quilt."

The night terror hall was in the camp, and he had been sleeping and letting a dozen people wait outside, and when he woke up, he sat up and put on his robe:

"I have to go back to Hidden Dragon Ridge during the day, it's not good to delay for a long time, and when I go back, I have time to rest."

When the Queen Mother heard that she was about to return, her eyes moved for some reason, she bit her lower lip and didn't speak, but just sat up to help Night Terror put on her robe.

After tidying up a bit, Night Terror got up and walked out of the tent and came to the station outside.

In the station, several tents have been put away, and some family members are packing up their salutes, preparing to climb the mountain and climb the Tibetan Dragon Ridge.

Jiang Zahu changed into a new robe, stood on the cliff with his hands in his hands, and had a bird's-eye view of the wind and snow of thousands of mountains; And the little girl was holding the big bird and running around beside it.

After the Night Terror Hall tidied up his clothes a little, he came to him with a saber hanging from his waist, and looked at the mountains beyond the cliff:

"Thank you Jiang Gang Master for your help yesterday. Jiang Gang Master is a good person, so he can be called a peerless horse, and it is a pity to be a big mountain in Hongshan. If I am interested, I can ask the Holy Lord for his life and give Jiang Gang Master an official identity."

Jiang Zahu knew that the Night Terror Hall was giving him a way to go ashore in vain, so he shook his head and said:

"Liangzhou is too barren, and the eighteen villages in Hongshan all rely on dumping goods in the north and south to make money, and they have taken refuge in the government to put down their old business, and they can't find a compliant financial way to fill the vacancy."

"Even if Eighteen Zhai changes careers and does serious business, there will be new caravans to fill the holes in the smuggling business, as long as there is demand, there must be supply, rely on Zhao'an and I alone, I can't destroy the Hongshan Gang, I have no interest in fame and fortune, Lord Xie is kind."

Night Terror grew up in Liangzhou, knowing that this is the truth, if you want to destroy the Liangzhou bandits, you must first let people eat well, otherwise kill a batch of people and come out of a batch, the stricter the control, the more strict the control will only make the Ma gang collectively turn into a gang, and it will not make the situation a little better, and he just sighed softly when he saw this.

Jiang Zahu took out a wooden box from his sleeve and handed it to Night Terror:

"I already said last time in Dolan Valley, the Golden Scale Diagram is given to Lord Night, and you and I have both grievances and grievances."

Night Terror Hall took the wooden box and thought for a moment:

"Since the court has promised, it will keep its promise. Gang Leader Jiang can come to the capital at any time to learn the Jade Bone Diagram and the Dragon Elephant Diagram, and you can also bring your daughter with you, I can make sure that Gang Leader Jiang can come and go freely, which is a favor from last night."

Jiang Zahu really wanted the Jade Bone Diagram, but he didn't want to owe the court and the Night Terror Hall favors, so he never took this promise to heart.

But when he heard that the night terror hall was so arrogant, he let him practice all his muscles and bones, and he also brought his daughter along the way, Jiang Zahu's light and light expression changed a little, and he coughed lightly and said:

"One for two, plus the girl is four, it seems to be deserved......

Speaking of this, Jiang Zahu turned around and came to the place where the luggage was stacked, took out a horse lance and a book from it, and handed it to the Night Terror Hall:

"This pole is a family heirloom weapon of the Night Late Division. This book is a family tradition of martial arts in Chibu, and its method is special, and it is matched with the physique tempered by Tianlang Zhu, and ordinary people's qi veins and bones cannot support it."

"Lord Night is the descendant of the Late Division, and these should have been yours. I have kept these for more than 20 years, and until today, it is a bit of hard work for the things to be returned to their original owners, and Lord Night is so generous, so I should return the favor to each other."

Night Terror Hall is not very interested in Ma Lance, but it is impossible not to match the martial arts of Tianlang Zhu, so he took the things over at the moment, and said with a smile:

"Yunshui is so light that they are separated, and they are not contrary to each other for the time being. There are also friends waiting outside the mountain, and Ye is not bothering, and when we meet again in the capital next time, I will definitely invite Jiang Gangzhu to go to Jinping Tower to have a good drink."

Jiang Zahu heard the well-known Fengyue Field Jinping Tower in the capital, and subconsciously looked at the lady in the distance, and arched his hand:

"The green mountains do not change the green water, and the capital will meet again. But forget about Jinping Tower, if you have a wife and a daughter, it's already not good for you."

"Yes......

......

At the same time, Yun'an.

The northwest is already covered with snow in thousands of mountains, and Yunzhou, which is located in the Central Plains, is in the cool autumn season.

The thousand-year-old ginkgo trees in the imperial city cover the sky and the sun, and the golden leaves are sprinkled all over the ground between the palaces and pavilions.

In autumn, several palace maids dressed in colorful clothes are slim in the imperial garden.

Dressed in a black and red dragon robe, the Empress of the Great Wei, her cheeks returned to her former bright color, standing in front of the painting case with her big sleeves in her hands, and the ginkgo tree facing Fushou Palace outlined the autumn scene.

And behind, several courtiers bowed down and stood quietly, and said respectfully for the old ministers:

"Yesterday, Foreign Envoy Jiang from the Foreign Embassy came over and asked me what the purpose of the imperial court was...... The Northwest Royal Court used to be a big trouble for the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and now the royal family is orphaned in my Great Wei, and has become the 'Marquis of Wu'an', and the Northern Liang will definitely think that our dynasty is ready to support the royal family outside and seize the territory of the West Sea......

The empress's reaction was very flat: "How does Wu Aiqing think this matter should be handled?"

"Hmm.... Based on what the old minister can see, he can temporarily withdraw the title and reward of the Night Terror Hall, and make a posture that he doesn't want to raise a tiger as a problem, so as not to overreact to Beiliang......

Da~

The golden pen was thrown aside, and the words suddenly stopped.

The empress stood up straight, picked up the ghost painting talisman to appreciate, and said flatly:

"If I'm not mistaken

, Wu Aiqing's family has a long heritage, and thousands of years ago there was also a queen of the Northwest Imperial Court. Do you want to take off your official hat as well, so as not to raise tigers and make Beiliang jealous?"

Several old courtiers were dumbfounded.

The families of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, without exception, all migrated from the Red River Valley, and the ordinary people were the same, according to the empress's algorithm, the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs were all remnants of the Northwest Royal Court, and none of them were innocent.

The old courtier at the head was a little embarrassed, thought for a while, and said:

"The old minister is guilty. However, the king of Tianlang was in the lineage, and he only destroyed the country twenty years ago, and the night terror hall was the crown prince, and he also killed the king of Gou Chen in public, and said that he would back up the Xihai tribes......

"The Northwest Royal Court is extinguished, Night Terror Hall was born in Great Wei, it is my Great Wei people, he has no heart to rebuild the royal court, he is my Great Wei foreign envoy, King Zuo Xian assassinated my foreign envoy, he can't put two cruel words in retaliation?"

"Uh......"

The empress handed the scroll to the palace maid and asked her to frame it, and then continued to pick up the brush:

"The Northwest Royal Court is a thing of the past, and the ability of the Night Terror Hall is obvious to all. If I treat him badly because of Beiliang's attitude, it will be equivalent to cutting off my arms and forcing away the virtuous ministers and good generals; Both the North and the South are hostile, what else can he do but go back to the Western Sea to rebuild the royal court?"

"People are under my hands, not only can I not be left out in the cold, but I also have to be rewarded, and I will not miss the throne of my ancestors until I am in the Night Terror Hall, and cherish the fame and fortune in the Great Wei, so that his heart can be in the Great Wei, and he will not think about getting involved in the western frontier of the Northern Liang. Zhong Aiqing said yes?"

Several old courtiers thought about it for a while, and felt that it should be enough to use this statement to prevaricate the foreign envoy of Beiliang, so they spoke:

"Dare to ask the Holy One, how should I reward it?"

"Feng Wu Angong, give the land of the West County of Zezhou as a feudal country, and the hereditary replacement will live with the country. With this knighthood, Night Terror Hall will definitely not worry about the poor countryside in the northwest anymore, just let Beiliang feel at ease."

「......」

Several old courtiers were obviously shocked when they heard this.

After all, since the founding of the country, the highest reward outside the royal family is the Hou Ye, at most, after his death, he will be posthumously crowned a prince; There are only a few hereditary princes in existence, all of whom were exchanged for their lives when the country was founded.

Moreover, the fiefdom is painted in the rich land of Zezhou, and the treatment is comparable to that of the prince, and anyone who sees it will be red-eyed.

But let's not talk about the other abilities of the Night Terror Hall, as long as Dawei keeps people, if he expands his territory in the future, the Night Terror Hall only relies on the Yu Wei of the Northwest Royal Court, and can single-handedly pull up a terrifying army in the northwest.

It stands to reason that it should be directly crowned as the king of Tianlang, and the sandbar should be used as a fief, and he will squat behind the buttocks of the Xihai tribes, so that he can be justified and follow the expectations of the public.

However, with such a blatant horse-faced output, the Northern Liang Iron Fryer, as long as the night terror hall is defeated, the control of the West Sea Departments will be automatically transferred, and the two countries will definitely fight.

Several courtiers thought for a moment, and felt that this reward, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military were afraid that there would be no fools to object, so they didn't ask any more questions, and the person at the head turned to say:

"I heard that His Royal Highness King Jing is quite appreciative of the Night Terror Hall. King Jing has passed the age of marriage, so he can't choose a son-in-law; And the Night Terror Hall is also a double-edged sword, if you can't control it, you may hurt yourself in the future, and as the old minister sees it, it's better to ......."

The empress brushed for a moment and thought about it a little:

"Wait for King Jing to come back and let her decide for herself. Go down first."

A few old courtiers actually wanted to propose that the empress include the Night Terror Hall in the harem and seal the night concubine.

In this way, the two gave birth to a dragon son, and they are the only heirs of the Great Wei and even the Xihai tribes, which is in line with the legal system in any way.

However, the empress is a daughter, and there are great differences in this matter, and several people don't dare to speak indiscriminately, but just bow down:

"The old minister retires ......"

......

Hoofs Hooves Hooves –

In the blink of an eye, it was already night, and the white horse left the rolling mountains and set foot on the endless Gobi again.

A light snow fell on the grass-yellow Gobi Desert, and a cold wind came on the surface, blowing the black cloak and the white of the birds

Maomao.

Night Terror Hall rode on a horse and agreed in advance to meet in Honghe Town, and it would arrive tomorrow night, and it was inevitable that there was a sense of returning to the heart like an arrow.

The Queen Mother was still sitting in front, surrounded by the night terrors, looking ahead, her familiar face seemed to be quiet, but there was a sense of loneliness in her eyes, and she lost the smile when she came over.

Having an accident on the snowy mountain, the Queen Mother blamed herself very much, and she couldn't wait to return to a stable and peaceful place immediately.

But really walking on the way home, the Queen Mother couldn't be happy, because the road back is clear at a glance - back to live alone in Fushou Palace, repeating the same day day and night, there is no danger and no warmth, this unforgettable few days have completely become the past, and may also be the last unforgettable memory of this life.

The Queen Mother has been in the palace for ten years, and she has already had enough of those days, and at this time, she even felt a chill down her spine and restless, leaning on the man's arms, and she had an impulse to say:

"Shocking, don't send me back, okay?"

But as the queen mother, she obviously can't say this.

Night Terror Hall is destined to go back, and where can she go if she doesn't go back?

The Queen Mother's heart was in turmoil, biting her lower lip tightly, after the speed of the horse became faster, her eyes turned red, and she let the cold wind and snowflakes hit her cheeks, wanting to stay awake, but she couldn't hold back the emotions that were almost collapsed in her heart.

Night Terror drove his horse forward, and at first he didn't realize that something was wrong, but after walking for a while, he found that his hand was a little warmer, and he looked down and saw that it was a teardrop, his brow furrowed, he slowed down his horse, and looked at it with a tilt:

"?"

"Collapsed Palace......

The Queen Mother wanted to speak, but her voice was a little broken, so she pursed her lips.

Night Terror felt that the Queen Mother's body was trembling slightly, and after a slight change of thought, she understood why the Queen Mother was like this.

This is the same as a child who has been under the fence since childhood, and has suffered a repressed life for a long time, goes out to experience a few days of happy life, and suddenly has to return to that cold hell.

Children who have been happily under the care of their parents since childhood will never experience the helplessness and despair that go deep into the bone marrow.

The night terror hall had never experienced it, but it could feel that feeling, and after a moment of silence, comforted:

"It's nothing, I'm not going to leave my mother alone when I go back. In the capital, I enter the palace every day, Xuanji is really there, she takes you around every day; If Xuanji Zhenren is not here, I can also take my mother out for a run, and it's not the same as before, as long as Xuanji Zhenren is not there, you can't go out."

The Queen Mother's eyes were red, and when she heard the soft words in her ears, her lips moved, and she wanted to say a lot, but in the end, she only held back one sentence:

"Really?"

Since the first time I entered the palace to see the Queen Mother, I have actually been very distressed. After all, the Queen Mother is different from all girls, she seems to have everything, but she doesn't have the simplest freedom, living in a colorful world, but she is destined to be black and white.

The Queen Mother looks a little naïve, or naughty, but what can she do?

Thinking about it from another perspective, if the Night Terror Hall has been facing the palace wall for ten years, then if he meets an ant one day, I am afraid that he will look around for a long time like a fool, and he can remember a greeting outside the wall for several years.

Regardless of whether the Queen Mother herself is in danger or not, it is true that she jumped up and gave him a hidden weapon in Yutan Villa, and it is also true that she took out the fire map that she had treasured for many years to treat his injuries afterwards, and she may not have any thoughts about him, but in her heart she must regard him as the person who greeted him outside the wall.

The night terror hall came out this time, facing each other day and night, and understood how happy the Queen Mother was, so she didn't want to let the Queen Mother, who had nothing, suffer the unbearable loss because of her own hesitation.

Night Terror Hall wrapped his cloak a little tighter, hugged the Queen Mother and affirmed:

"Really. If my mother can give up my life to block the secret weapon, then no matter what my identity is, I will care about my mother as much as I care about the love of my heart."

Love......

The Queen Mother shrank in her strong embrace, the decline in her eyes dissipated, turning into complex and eccentric, and after holding her lips for a long time, she whispered:

"You have to talk about it, the fire map of this palace is all for you, there is nothing else."

Night Terror shook his head and smiled, and with a soft "drive-" sound, he sped away to the east.

Whew-

The biting cold wind came with snowflakes on the pavement, but the Queen Mother felt not as cold as just now, and even a little like a spring breeze.

After being silent for a long time, the Queen Mother found that the hand holding the cloak in the night terror hall was cold, and after thinking about it, she pinched the cloak, held the big hand and stuffed it into her arms to warm her hands.

「......」

Night Terror Hall's right hand was attached to the warm dough, and the originally quiet look became strange.

Ice and snow, two people and one horse.

In an environment that is not disturbed, it is not so easy to abide by the way of a gentleman in the face of a very intimate hand warmer baby in front of you.

After a moment of silence, Night Terror moved his fingers subconsciously, but immediately stopped.

The Queen Mother bit her red lip, looked at the boundless wind and snow, and felt the small movements of the night terror, but she didn't say anything.

After all, only at this moment and here, she is Qin Huaiyan, and when she returns to the palace, she becomes the queen mother again.

How many times can such a bold and presumptuous move be made in a lifetime?

After holding back for a long time, the Queen Mother quietly moved the hand in her arms up a little:

"You are young and vigorous, and this palace does not blame you. It's okay here, but it's not allowed to go back."

「......」

Night Terror held the hot tuantuan and wanted to say a few words, but after brewing for a long time, he couldn't come up with suitable words, and his hand, which had collapsed, slowly relaxed in the bumps of the horse and in the warm embrace, and finally opened and closed his five fingers, and moved his muscles and bones slightly......

Hoof, hoof......

The mountains are far away at dusk, and the wind and snow return to people at night.

The two of them galloped across the boundless wilderness, and the man did not squint and his eyes were focused, as if he was thinking about something big, big.

The woman shrunk into her cloak, her face flushed, her eyes flickering, and she made a look of looking at the scenery.

And the birds, who have been busy for several days, sleep in the bags on the side of the horse, and they don't know whether they are alive or dead......
