Wang Xiu was silent.

Doesn't she know that it is more "frugal" to negotiate peace? Raising a war has always been a pain for the people, but - why did Tuoba Ying lead his troops to attack the city on this winter day? It is because they have tasted too much, too much of the sweetness of war, and once they need it, they will turn around and bite Dongqi at any time and tear off a piece of meat from this half of the country.

Whether it is culture, economy, population, or more money and food, it is too tempting for them. Negotiate peace, this is just to send meat to the wolf's mouth in exchange for a temporary livelihood.

Prime Minister Wang Cheng was silent, everyone had different thoughts for a while, only Xue Zeshu frowned, and was about to get up and speak. Before Xue Sikong spoke, a long sigh sounded between the seats of the military government.

Xue Yuxiao stretched out his hand to pour tea for himself, looked at Xie Fu, and said, "The ministers are about to fight to the death, why did Your Majesty surrender first?" ”

Xie Fu's face tightened, and he was speechless for a while when she questioned him, and said for a while: "Xue Yuxiao, didn't you understand what I said?" You've exterminated the bandits, but they're not the same. In the face of Xianbei, the sergeant's morale fell first, and it was impossible to ...... It's extremely difficult to win. ”

She was going to say it couldn't be.

Xue Yuxiao said: "Then please ask Your Majesty to personally conquer and put the banner town symbolizing the Heavenly Maiden behind the battle, so that everyone and every knife can see the pattern of the phoenix, I don't believe that there is an emperor to supervise the battle, who of them dares to take half a step back!" If so, the minister will kill for His Majesty. ”

Xie Fu was speechless.

This is a very good solution indeed.

Even if the emperor and the family share the world, in name, the person who shoulders the word "emperor" is the lord of the world, the reincarnation of the phoenix, and the indescribable lord in the hearts of ordinary people, non-commissioned officers and soldiers. Whoever dares to retreat behind the emperor's coffin, even the ancestors will crawl out of the grave and scold.

Xue Yuxiao looked at her and said: "If Your Majesty is willing to boost your morale and personally conquer Xuzhou, your Majesty is willing to defend your Majesty, but whenever there is danger, you will stay in front of Your Majesty and die without regrets." ”

Xie Fu clasped the corner of the table, and his fingers were bruised. Her face was calm, and she said after a while: "Yuxiao, are you forcing me?" ”

Xue Yuxiao said: "Don't you remember what you promised me?" ”

Before she was ordered to check her nationality, Xie Fu had promised that she would no longer block the military government's intention to conquer the north and recover the lost territory.

Xie Fu didn't say anything for a long time, but after a long time, he suddenly got up and followed the waiter in the line and said: "Give the jade seal to Prime Minister Wang, and you can build it yourself." With that, he brushed his sleeves and walked away, without staying any longer.

After the emperor left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Li Qingchou couldn't help but look at Xue Yuxiao, and said in a low voice: "Don't say it, it's really a good way." ”

Xue Yuxiao said: "Yes." What a good idea...... It doesn't get much more morale-boosting than this. It's a pity that His Majesty can't go to Xuzhou. When I mentioned it, I just wanted to open the window and break the door first. ”

Li Qingchou smiled helplessly: "Your method of breaking the door really scared me." ”

Ten Thousand Horses Mourn (3)

Chapter 71

In order to collect the matter of Xuzhou, the military government discussed until dawn. The household department is responsible for the logistics of grain and grass, and Si Nongqing is the general dispatcher.

Due to the suddenness of the incident, the women still needed to mobilize and prepare, so they could not send troops immediately, and there was a delay of about several days. The people in the military government, especially the military ladies who were born in the scholar clan, mobilized their personal guards in the Hui clan, prepared knives and horses, and arranged affairs in the palace.

Xue Yuxiao had a long talk with his mother all night, and then chose bows and arrows, nourished his spirits, and personally fed the snow treading black horse. Finally, the day before departure, I thought about the words in my stomach and returned to my room.

There is a screen in the room, reflecting the back of Pei Lang sitting next to the small desk and writing. He sat upright, solemn as a pine, and his sleeves were slightly swaying in the breeze under the window.

Xue Yuxiao looked at the door for a moment and removed the blade he carried with him. In the sound of the sword clashing, Pei Yuxue's writing pen paused, and said in a low voice: "I thought you would keep training until the day of the army." ”

Xue Yuxiao focused on training his own guards on the school martial arts field. Although they were usually diligent in martial arts, Xue Yuxiao had never personally tried the level of the team of guards led by Wei Qingyan, and now was the right time.

She wore a close-fitting martial arts training uniform with narrow sleeves and a gold collar, and in order to facilitate her movement, she did not wear accessories, but only attached a jade beast headband hook to the dark leather belt, and a dagger could be hidden inside, and the heat did not dissipate.

Xue Yuxiao sat opposite the small case, did not sit upright, but slightly lazily and casually put his arm against the side of the case, drank the cup that Pei Yanxue had poured tea but was already cold, and said: "Because I think about it carefully, with you in charge at home, I really don't have to go back and explain for three days and two nights like the military lady next to me, endlessly." ”

"Seems to be complimenting me." Pei Yuxue put down her pen and thought about it, took back the empty cup in her hand, poured tea again, and continued, "You can't drink cold in winter." Do not drink. ”

Xue Yuxiao said: "After sending the troops, I can't take care of these things." ”

Pei Yuxue pursed her lips and said nothing, pushed the steaming cup to her, and said after a little silence: "It turned out that he was just praising me, and he coaxed me for a while." If you have to worry that I can't run a house, so you have to say a few more words to me, then you have to drink snow and hide your skills poorly and refuse to show your talents. ”

Xue Yuxiao gently flicked the lid, lowered his fingers again, and touched the back of his hand: "I'm just afraid that the words of separation for a while will make you sad." ”

The back of his hand was touched by the ironed fingertips, and he immediately curled up into a clenched fist. Pei Yuxue's eyes had long been removed from the book, staring at the rising tea mist: "Now, are you going to say these words of separation?" ”

Xue Yuxiao said helplessly: "Look, you always ...... like this" She pasted it and stared at his face, "I know that you are a reliable person, and I have nothing to worry about handing over my home to you." I'm just afraid that you're too worried about me, so I can't sleep and can't sleep, so I'm silent so far. Don't come to send it tomorrow, lest the love be unbearable, so that I can't bear you. ”

Pei Yuxue choked slightly in his throat and let out a long sigh, he took out the golden knife and handed it to her, just like the first time the two parted due to a battle. Without a word, Xue Yuxiao took the knife into his arms and put it into the leather belt, which was tightly sealed.

She said, "Don't drop a mirror again?" ”

Pei Yuxue said: "The green mirror is precious, how can there be so many bronze mirrors to fall?" I'm afraid of disappointing your love for things. ”

Xue Yuxiao smiled when he heard this, and whispered: "Love is secondary, if I can't alleviate your worries, I'm afraid of disappointing Pei Lang's heart." ”

Pei Yuxue couldn't resist it, and the roots of her ears were hot. He asked, "Is there a return date?" ”

Xue Yuxiao sighed: "Jun asked that there is no return date!" ”

As she spoke, she held Pei Yanxue's hand, broke his fist and flattened it, palms were close to each other, her slender fingers hooked Pei Lang's knuckles, intertwined and intersected, and said lightly, "I only have one thing to worry about, I have something to ask you." ”

Pei Yuxue said: "Things on the water? ”

"Pei Lang, who knows me." Xue Yuxiao continued, "The family letter has always been a reply from you, and it is usually discussed by the two of us. Now that I'm not here, if Zhou Shaolan, Guan Haichao and others have a letter to ask, I can't reply outside, you can decide for yourself. ”

Pei Yuxue knew that the stakes were high, so she asked: "I live in the inner room, how do I know how the government is?" ”

Xue Yuxiao said: "I haven't hidden anything from you about the imperial court, and you have accompanied me out of Beijing, inspected the territory, and set foot in various states and counties. And, I believe in you. ”

Pei Yuxue stared at her for a long time, and couldn't help but say, "You...... It's a pity that Chanjuan is a clear and ruthless person, but she dragged me into the water with a word and couldn't refuse. Naturally, I will not refuse you, and I will be on your side in whatever you do. ”

He responded to this matter, and suddenly asked: "You have been named a general, you have a pro-army, and the accompanying military doctors seem to be sent by the clan, Qilang is celebrating the New Year in Taiping Garden, didn't his mother entrust him to accompany him?" ”

"This is different from banditry, after all, he is the seventh son of the Cui family." Xue Yuxiao said something that neither of them sounded very believable, and was silent for a long time at Pei Yuxue's gaze, and then explained, "Cui Qi's diagnosis is expensive, and we still ......."

The latter excuse is even more outrageous.

Pei Yuxue raised her eyebrows lightly, and bent her fingers against her chin: "What, there is something to hide?" Your quarrel has not passed? ”

Xue Yuxiao sighed: "There are some disputes. My mother wanted to, but I refused. Shichiro is now a palace doctor, how can he go with me? ”

"Some of the palace medical officers are also assigned to join the army." Pei Yuxue said, "Many people in the medical department are the daughters of the Shu clan, if you can treat a general and noble girl like you on the battlefield, you will be appreciated, and the road to heaven is close at hand, although the seventh prince is a famous man, his reputation is enough to ignore these criticisms." …… What the hell is it that makes you hide it like this? ”

Xue Yuxiao had no choice, so he struggled with his words, and said, "He...... He ......"

Pei Yuxue suddenly said: "You won't have skin kisses, right?" ”

Xue Yuxiao's complexion changed, her cheeks turned red, she had always been calm, but she didn't expect her pupils to widen when she was shocked by Pei Lang's words, she was stunned, and said suddenly: "No!" ”

Pei Yuxue looked at her and didn't move.

Xue Yuxiao stretched out his hand and pressed his shoulders, grabbed the dignified and dignified Lang Jun by the shoulders and shook him, as if he wanted to shake out some whimsical ideas from his head: "What are you thinking?" Isn't it too much! ”

Pei Yuxue didn't resist, she shook her twice like a thin piece of paper pasted together, dizzy, and immediately fell on the shoulder of his wife, and his tone was intermittent: "Then you...... Why are you embarrassed? ”

Xue Yuxiao stopped, touched his long hair, and said, "Qilang is still young, and he showed favor to me for a while, saying...... I was interested in it before. But now I promise him that I will be his friend for life. ”

Pei Yuxue leaned on her shoulder and didn't speak.

Xue Yuxiao waited for a long time, but didn't wait for a response, carefully picked up the broken hair on the back of his neck with his fingertips, pinched his neck, and asked in a low voice: "...... Still alive? ”

“…… He's dead. ”

Xue Yuxiao couldn't help laughing and said, "I think he may not be happy to see me, and he doesn't want to upset him, so I've avoided it recently." ”

"How bad and wooden." Pei Yuxue sighed, "Cui Qi is an open-minded and transparent person, and he won't ask you anything after he says it, won't you make him even more sad if you deliberately keep your distance like this?" ”

Xue Yuxiao choked, thought carefully, as if it made sense, and asked tentatively: "Are you not unhappy?" ”

“…… No. ”

Xue Yuxiao reached out and touched his forehead, and found that Pei Lang did not have a fever, so he was relieved: "Really." ”

Pei Yuxue got up from her shoulder, threw off the account book on the small case, turned around to change clothes and wash, took off her shoes and went to bed, put down the bed tent, and retracted into the quilt and crumpled.

Xue Yuxiao: "......"

It's weird if it's true.

For the next half day, Pei Yuxue escaped from reality and didn't take care of the affairs in the backyard, I don't know if she slept in the quilt - always motionless, pretending to be a corpse. When the sky was dark, Xue Yuxiao coaxed him to get up to eat, and saw a pair of dark eyes coming out of the quilt under the lamp and candle.

Xue Yuxiao: "...... Hungry or not? ”

"I'm full." He said sullenly.

"Didn't you speak very generously before?" Xue Yuxiao smiled helplessly, "You also advised me not to alienate him." ”

The quilt was over, and not even a pair of eyes were exposed.

There was no way, Xue Yuxiao had to wash and change clothes by himself. She lifted the corners of the quilt, closed her eyes quietly, and just closed them, she suddenly felt a cold little snake swimming towards her, enveloping her, and the other party's messy green silk fell on the ends of her hair, mixed with a trace of very light, very light silver hair.

Xue Yuxiao opened his eyes from the darkness, saw Pei Lang, who had been angry all day, buried in his arms, stretched out his arms to hug her waist tightly, and said, "...... I treat him as a good brother, and he really cares about my wife. ”

“……”

"You must not have anything to do with him."

Xue Yuxiao hugged him and said, "I didn't have anything to do with him originally." ”

Pei Yuxue said: "You didn't kiss him, did you?" …… Do you think Cui Qi is more in line with your temper, you are both straightforward and straightforward people. …… No, you are straightforward on the surface, but there are few people in the world who don't like his kind of character. ”

Xue Yuxiao said: "Of course I didn't kiss him." What the hell are you thinking? ”

Pei Yuxue said: "It's nothing...... Will you still be able to think of me when you come back? Will you see any beautiful new love in Xuzhou......"

Xue Yuxiao was silent for a moment and said, "I said that you should not read the script written by Xie Budo." ”

Pei Yuxue also knew that this sentence was outrageous, so she buried her head in her arms and stopped talking. After a long time, he suddenly became entangled again, and said with annoyance: "He called me brother, does it imply that I want to be you...... Hmmm......"

Xue Yuxiao hooked his hair and kissed it.

His suppleness was scattered, without the slightest sense of frizz, and his hand was like a cold stream of water. She tightened her fingers in her hair, pressed against the back of Pei Yuxue's head, and sealed Xiao Langjun's lips that spit out complaining whispers, making his anger turn into a muffled, soft throat snort.

Xue Yuxiao turned over, and the two switched positions. Her hand was against Pei Lang's side of the neck, and this slender and fair, very fragile neck was half covered by her palm. Xue Yuxiao lowered his head slightly, pressed against his forehead, and whispered, "Are you going to do all the happy events with him in your mind?" ”

Pei Yuxue was said to be thoughtful, and it was difficult to respond for a while, only to feel that the rich aroma on her body poured into her heart one by one. It is as if all the internal organs and all the thoughts are controlled by this gentle aroma. Under the shroud of every inch of her vision, his skin, bones, torso, and limbs were all coerced and rubbed by his gaze...... Pei Yanxue's Adam's apple moved slightly and closed her eyes.

"Why don't you speak." Xue Yuxiao paused and asked him, "Will you use the things that Cui Mingzhu sent last time?" ”

It was a tool to protect a man's chastity.

Pei Yuxue couldn't easily express her position under her gaze, and shook her head with difficulty.

“…… Then wait until I get back. Xue Yuxiao said, "Can it really be contraceptive?" I don't believe it...... When I get back, we'll give it a try. ”

Pei Yuxue's hand clutched her underwear tightly, almost tearing off Xue Yuxiao's belt. She glanced down and whispered, "Or are you in a hurry now?" ”

He immediately let go and regained his senses from his dizziness: "...... Always kissing me restrained me. What are you...... What stratagem? ”

Xue Yuxiao leaned down and kissed him on the lips, hugged him in his arms, and stroked his back: "Don't think nonsense." It's only because you care too much about me that this ploy works. It's just a matter of dealing with Pei Lang......"
