Chapter 6: The Next Day

The summer days are long and the nights are short, and before you know it, the fish belly is white, and the sound of footsteps and subtle words sounded outside the window:

"Are you bluffing me? I've gone along with it, and nothing has changed......"

"Why hasn't it changed, the sheets are all wet......"

"Who's talking to you about this? I mean martial arts. ”

"That means you haven't seen through it yet, and you'll have to make persistent efforts in the future......"

"What else do you want from me? I'm all riding on the head of the frightened hall......"

……

The doors and windows of the room were closed, the curtains were lowered, and embroidered shoes and dresses were placed beside the bed.

Hua Qingzhi Wenwen lay quietly on the pillow, the thin quilt was covered to the collarbone, after a night's rest, the blush on her cheeks had faded, and she had returned to her usual grace and elegance.

Hearing the slight movement outside, Hua Qingzhi's eyelashes moved slightly, slowly opened her eyes, first looked at the top of the bed blankly, and then slowly deviated a little, then exhaled softly, rubbed her somewhat dizzy forehead with her hand, and wanted to get up.

But as soon as she sat up slightly, she noticed that the thin quilt on her body had slipped down, and her chest was cold......

?!

Hua Qingzhi looked down and found that she was defenseless, so she hurriedly lay down with her head down, pinching the thin quilt with both hands and pulling it under her neck, her eyes were a little panicked, and she quickly recalled the events of the first two days:

How did I sleep here, what is this place......

On the road, I drank with Senior Lu and talked a lot, from poetry and poetry to famous masters of the past dynasties, Senior Lu knew everything, and chatted very closely, so I drank too much......

And then I can't remember......

By the way, it seems that the night boy carried me out of the carriage last night, and when I looked up, I could see the stars and the moon and the face of the night child, I should be lying in my arms, and then ......

The more Hua Qingzhi thought about it, the more wrong it became, and she tried to remember, but she couldn't remember what happened next, and when she was in a hurry, she suddenly heard the sound of the door opening.

Squeak~

Hua Qingzhi was shocked, and hurriedly closed her eyes and continued to pretend to be asleep.

At the door, Xuanji Zhenren, who was dressed in white like snow, entered the room with a wooden basin with both hands, and after closing the door with his feet, he came to the bed and put down the basin:

"Why are you pretending to sleep when you're awake, I'm afraid that I won't be able to persuade you to drink?"

“……”

Hua Qingzhi looked a little embarrassed, slowly opened her eyes, and wanted to sit up, but she was defenseless and embarrassed, so she lay down and bowed:

"Senior Lu, how long have I been sleeping?"

When Xuanji Zhenren heard this, he was a little unhappy:

"Two days ago, I pushed the cup and changed the lamp to call Sister Lu, but now I have changed my mind and become a senior as soon as I wake up? Think I'm too old? ”

"How so, I...... I drank too much and can't remember exactly. Well...... Sister Lu, what kind of place is this? ”

Xuanji Zhenren came to the wardrobe and helped find his change of clothes: "The Black Cluster City of the Gou Chen Department, you didn't sleep long when you arrived last night." ”

"Oh......"

Hua Qingzhi pressed the thin quilt under her neck, hesitated for a moment, and asked again:

"I'm drunk, and it was the Night Boy who brought me in?"

"Uh-huh."

“……”

Hua Qingzhi's face was obviously a little red, and she lowered her head and looked at it again:

"My clothes ......"

Xuanji Zhenren picked up a clean skirt and came to the edge of the bed and sat down:

"Qinghe helped you take it off."

Hua Qingzhi was relieved when she heard this, and just wanted to thank her with a smile, but she didn't think about Sister Lu in front of her, and immediately said:

"Standing at the door without a night terror, I don't know if I peeked or not, you have to ask him yourself."

"Huh~?"

Hua Qingzhi looked slightly dumbfounded, and after hesitating for a moment, she repeated the drunken words she had spoken last night:

"The Night Boy is a gentleman and a knight, so he shouldn't do anything to deceive the dark room...... Right? ”

"That's true, he wants to bully women, it's all blatant."

“……”

Hua Qingzhi also thinks so, but it is obviously inappropriate to talk about these things with outsiders, and seeing that there are no outsiders in the house, she still sat up after a little hesitation and wanted to put on her clothes.

But when she covered her chest with one hand and picked up the belly pocket that Sister Lu had found, she unexpectedly found that the style of this belly pocket was very special.

The color is blue and white, embroidered with bamboo leaves, whether the fabric or embroidery, etc., it can be called flawless, but the style is a bit strange, the tulle is translucent, only there are patterns covering the two key points, and there is a droplet-shaped opening in the middle, which is beautiful, but how to look at it, it doesn't look like a serious woman should wear it at all......

"Uh......"

Hua Qingzhi was born in a scholarly family since she was a child, and she has seen the most over-the-top things, and I am afraid that she can only find the Yanwen miscellaneous books that she turned out in her mother's room, where have she seen this kind of new thing, and her eyes are a little embarrassed:

"Sister Lu, this ......"

Xuanji Zhenren sat down in front of him, took the small clothes and gestured on Hua Qingzhi's chest:

"This is my clothes, you are of similar shape to me, you should be able to wear it."

Hua Qingzhi's eyes were incredulous: "This is Sister Lu's clothes?!" You ......"

Looking at Hua Qingzhi's eyes, she wanted to say, 'You are such an earthly Taoist real person, wearing such a sassy inside your clothes?' But it's hard to speak.

Xuanji Zhenren looked as usual, and explained: "The style of clothes is changing every year, you have been staying in Beiliang, and you don't know that it is normal for Yun'an's clothes to change." This kind of belly pocket, whose scientific name is 'Caiyun Placket', is the handwriting of Fan Jiuniang, a court craftsman, and is generally only used in the imperial city, but in recent years, it has spread in the princely house, and Yun'an's wife and lady all wear this, but it is worn inside the clothes, and outsiders can't see it......"

Hua Qingzhi had heard of the name of 'Fan Jiuniang', and had gone to Yun'an before, and had also bought clothes from Fan's shop, but she didn't know that there was such a thing. She half-convinced:

"Really?"

Seeing that Hua Qingzhi didn't believe it, Xuanji Zhenren pulled her collar open, revealing her white coat:

"What have I lied to you. Now in Yun'an, if you still wear that kind of rustic belly pocket, but you will be laughed at by other ladies and ladies, even Yunli wears this, you can try it too. ”

Hua Qingzhi saw that the respected Xuanji real people were wearing such a riot, so she didn't say anything at the moment, with three points of restraint, put on the small clothes with a good sense of wrapping, looked down, and found the fair-skinned canyon, and hurriedly raised her hand to block it:

"This dress...... It's pretty cool. ”

Xuanji Zhenren looked at it with a tilt of his head, quite satisfied, and took out a small piece of fabric from his clothes and handed it to Hua Qingzhi:

"Here's a set, put this one on too."

Hua Qingzhi took the small fabric that was not yet the size of a handkerchief, and her eyes were full of confusion:

"This ...... Is this an eye patch? ”

"What a blindfold, it's obscene pants."

"Dirty pants? How to wear this? ”

"That's ......"

Sister Lu, who was fluttering in fairy spirit before Hua Qingzhi met, took a small cloth and gestured at her waist and crotch, and slowly understood the meaning, but the dazedness in her eyes did not decrease but increased:

"Can this be called pants?"

"Yun'an's new style, it's cool to wear."

"Isn't that cool? What's the difference between not wearing it? ”

"It doesn't make a difference......

??

Hua Qingzhi's eyes were incomprehensible, she pressed the thin quilt with her hand, and said that she would not try such outrageous clothes again.

But before the two could persuade them to refuse, footsteps sounded outside the door again, and a figure appeared in the window, and then a clear voice came in:

"Fairy Lu, what are you doing?"

Hua Qingzhi heard the sound of night terrors, her already red face turned into panic, and she hurriedly turned her head down and lay down, wrapping herself tightly:

"Night Boy, I'...... I'm changing clothes, you wait. ”

Xuanji Zhenren looked as usual and said, "What else can I do if I find clothes for my sister?" You go pack up, and you'll have to go later. ”

Outside the room, Night Terror Hall stood in front of the window in a black robe, his eyes were a little strange, and he felt that Shui Er was acting as a demon again.

However, these boudoir fights, he is not easy to intervene as a big man, and he didn't say much when he saw this, and came to the opposite side of the courtyard.

In the opposite room, Qing He also brought water to wake up Lu Zhu, who was also drunk.

Lu Zhu is a maid, naturally much better than Hua Qingzhi, after being woken up, she quickly got up and changed her clothes, and also helped Qinghe weave a small braid with exotic beauty characteristics.

And the bird, who slept all night last night, also got up early at this time, squatted on the dressing table, asked Qinghe to help comb his hair, squinting his eyes and looking intoxicated.

Seeing that the girls were cleaning up, Night Terror waited in the yard, but after a while, Hua Qingzhi walked out of the house first.

Squeak~

As the door opened, Night Terror turned its head to look, and it could be seen that Hua Qingzhi, who had changed into a young lady's skirt, walked out slowly holding on to the door, and was obviously a little twisted when she crossed the threshold, not daring to raise her legs.

The night terror hall was also due to Hua Qingzhi's inconvenient legs and feet, so she stepped forward to help her, but Hua Qingzhi hurriedly walked out, her legs together and pressed her skirt, her expression was not very natural:

"No, I can stand on my own. Shall we leave right away? ”

Night Terror Hall heard the news of the Shatuo Gang from the garrison yamen last night, and after coming back, Qinghe arranged for Jiang Laojiu and others to go over to keep an eye on them, and then Gonggong Xu would rush back to the Xihai Capital Protectorate to resume his life, and they naturally followed along the way.

Seeing Hua Qingzhi asking, Night Terror Hall smiled and said:

"Have breakfast first, if you go fast, you can rush to the Xihai Protectorate tonight, Uncle Hua is in the city, and you should be able to see it when the time comes."

Hua Qingzhi found that she was about to go home, and her heart was actually quite complicated, but it was cold under her skirt, and she really couldn't think about it, so she turned to say:

"Green beads? Green beads? ”

"Eh, what's wrong with Miss?"

"Where's my change of clothes?"

"Clothes? Isn't the young lady wearing clothes, it's pretty good......"

"Alas......"

……

——

Time flickered, and it was afternoon.

With the Empress of the Southern Dynasty driving the expedition in person, carrying the Yazhou army to the border of the two dynasties, the entire Zuoxian palace was dyed with a touch of 'mountain rain is coming' dullness, the huge palace almost no noise, can only occasionally see scout messengers galloping from outside, rushing to the main hall of the palace, reporting the military aircraft of all parties.

In the main hall, the little prince Li Zhen was pacing back and forth in front of the sand table, although he was wearing a golden armor like his father Li Gong, and his figure and appearance were a little similar, but the momentum was like a 'tiger and a cat', Rao was pretending to be majestic, and he didn't show much oppression, and even the attendants standing with knives in front of the door could feel the uneasiness of the little prince at the moment.

Li Zhen is not incompetent, he is not too old than the Night Terror Hall, he is already ranked as a grandmaster, he has personally killed more than a dozen thieves, and he has also led soldiers and horses to encircle and suppress the bandits.

But compared with the real people, Li Zhen is obviously still too young, after all, when his father Li Kai was in his twenties, he had already led troops to meet the king of Tianlang in the West Sea; The empress was his age, and she had already imprisoned the deposed emperor and sat on the dragon chair herself; And the Night Terror Hall is about to hit the top five in the world, regardless of whether it is martial arts or wrists, Li Zhen is obviously not ranked.

Originally, Li Zhen was in the Xihai Protectorate to be a good son, his father was in the prime of life, and it would not be a problem to live for more than 100 years without an accident, but he was still worried about whether there would be an embarrassing situation of 'how can there be a 60-year-old son in the world'.

As a result, he never thought that before the New Year, his father would be martyred, and his last words were not explained, and then there was 'the lord and young ministers were suspicious', and his hundreds of thousands of troops did not believe in his ability at all, and he was almost overshadowed by a group of fierce generals left by his father.

Li Zhenchou became a young white head, so he tried his best to win the hearts of most of the generals, but the result was not completely stable internally, King Liang came over again, and then the Xihai tribes were out of control, the empress drove the expedition in person, and the night terror hall tried to rebuild the royal court, and it seemed that he was ready to take advantage of his illness to kill him.

Li Zhen has never fought and is not even sure about dealing with King Liang, not to mention the two ruthless characters in the back, these days he doesn't dare to sleep deeply, he is always surrounded by a bunch of guards, and he asks Yanjing for help every day, and the meaning is also very clear - if the court dares to ignore this king, this king will dare to die, you can watch it.

The Xihai Protectorate has too much military power, and has the capital to support the army and stand on his own, Emperor Liang has actually been afraid in his heart, but that is aimed at Zuoxian Wang Li Gong.

Li Zhen's nephew can't even sit on the throne steadily, if Emperor Liang plays with his heart again, Li Zhen is afraid that he will have to have a 'happy to think about Liang here'.

For this reason, after sending troops in the Southern Dynasty, Emperor Liang began to vigorously help, not only sent a bunch of capable ministers to come over to him as a team, but even loyal guards such as Ziliang Gonggong and Hua Junchen were specially sent to protect his safety.

With the strong support of the imperial court, Li Zhen finally felt more stable, but the grim situation in Western Xinjiang did not ease much.

Seeing that the empress had arrived at Heishi Pass and might enter the West Sea at any time, Li Zhen paced back and forth for a long time, and couldn't help but speak again:

"The empress of the Southern Dynasty personally led the troops to Liangzhou, and if Uncle Wang of the Right waved his army south at this time and went straight into the inner organs of the Southern Dynasty, the siege of the West Sea would be solved. Why did Uncle Right Wang stay still? ”

Half of the people standing in the main hall were courtiers from Yanjing, and Li Si, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites who took Hua Ling to Yun'an last year and assassinated the overnight horror hall, was also among them.

Li Si himself is a relative of the emperor, serving as a waiter in charge of foreign affairs in the Ministry of Rites, and he knows the various ministries of the West Sea very well.

Hearing the words of the little prince, Li Si opened his mouth to explain:

"If King Youxian moves his army south, he can solve the danger of the West Sea, but he can't solve the danger of our dynasty, and he just moves the battle line from the west to the east. Fighting in the Xihai Metropolitan Protectorate, even if our dynasty is defeated, it will only lose an unnaturalized enclave, which can be taken back in the next year; And in the east, there was a slight mistake, and the Southern Dynasty invaded the hinterland of our Dynasty......"

When Li Zhen heard this, he asked rhetorically:

"If Uncle Wang didn't make a good mistake and attacked the hinterland of the Southern Dynasty, wouldn't our Dynasty directly occupy half of the Southern Dynasty......"

Li Si shook his head and sighed: "Fighting a war is not a child's play, you can't gamble with the fortunes of the country, the current priority is to stabilize the situation in the West China Sea and find a way to hold on." The Southern Dynasty fought the Xihai Metropolitan Protectorate, and the grain and grass had to be transported by land from Yunzhou, while we only needed to send it by boat from the east of the lake to Tianlang Lake, which was much more convenient than the Southern Dynasty. The Southern Dynasty could not afford to defeat the Xihai Protectorate before winter, and it was likely to withdraw its troops; Even if they are defeated, the roads are closed by heavy snow in winter, and there is nowhere to raise food and grass in the West Sea Wasteland, it will be difficult for them to hold ......"

While everyone was discussing, there was the sound of hurried footsteps outside the main hall again.

Stomp ......

Li Si stopped talking and looked back, but saw a group of people hurrying from outside the palace, led by Gonggong Xu, who went to Black Cluster City to meet the foreign envoy.

Seeing this, the little prince Li Zhen's eyes lit up, and he walked quickly to the door, and without waiting for his father-in-law to approach, he asked:

"What's going on over there in the desert? Does Shatuobu have the ability to disturb the northwest? ”

After meeting with the monk last night, he led the team to set off in the morning, rushed back to the Xihai Protectorate through the wasteland, and after a long journey, he was tired with three points between his eyebrows, but he still stepped forward and said respectfully:

"Lord Yu, I met with the envoys of the Shatuo Department yesterday, and I heard that I had the ambition to take advantage of the chaos and stand on my own, but I have to go over to see how much strength I have."

Li Si himself is a diplomat, walking around the southeast and northwest all the year round, and he knows far more about the Shatuo Department than ordinary people.

Hearing the words of his father-in-law, Li Si responded:

"I am a classmate, studied in Yun'an in the past years, and Huang Liansheng had a relationship, saying that this person is polite and seems to be humble, but he is quick and capable, and he is by no means a thing in the pool. Huang Liansheng has been cultivating in the desert for so many years, and now his background should be good, even if he doesn't have many troops, as long as he dares to enter the West Sea to stir up trouble, he can also slightly involve the Southern Dynasty. ”

Li Zhen's only appeal now is to create chaos and delay the offensive of the Southern Dynasty, to which he said:

"Then directly take the required grain, grass and ordnance to the war horse, and send it to that Huang Liansheng, so that he can enter the customs from Huang Mingshan immediately......"

Li Si shook his head: "To transport a large amount of ordnance, grain and grass, you have to avoid the battle line, go around Huangming Mountain from the north, and then cross the desert, the distance is too far is not advisable. It's best to let him come over by himself, and I'll pick you up at Huangmingshan......"

Father-in-law frowned: "The grain and grass and ordnance have not been delivered, just give a promise, let the Shatuo Department drag the family with the mouth, and bring their own grain and grass to Huangming Mountain, this is afraid that it will be ......"

Li Si knew that this was a bit difficult, so he said: "I personally went to talk to Huang Liansheng, and then led the troops back with him, if the grain, grass and ordnance promised by the imperial court were not delivered on time, he could cut me down the sacrificial flag." ”

Li Si is a relative of the emperor of Northern Liang, or an important minister of the six ministries, and taking a head guarantee can indeed dispel Huang Liansheng's doubts; Moreover, Zuo Xian's palace sent grain, grass and ordnance over, and Huang Liansheng led his troops over, and the two sides met in Huangmingshan, which was indeed much faster than going back and forth.

Everyone in the main hall felt that this method was advisable after discussing a few words, but before the little prince Li Zhen could order people to prepare, he suddenly found that the father-in-law standing at the door frowned and looked outside.

There were not a few guards who had a good kung fu foundation at the scene, and when they saw the strange appearance of their father-in-law, they also frowned and looked outside the palace.

Li Zhen sensed that something was wrong and retreated behind the guard:

"What's going on?"

The roots of his ears moved slightly, and then he turned around and walked out:

"There seems to be movement outside, let's go over and take a look. Protect the prince. ”

"Yes."

The twelve messengers around the palace and the private guards of the palace immediately stood on guard and guarded the corners of the main hall of the palace......
