After receiving the news, the shogunate officials and the garrison generals went out of the city three miles to greet him.
Shao Xun dismounted from a distance, smiled and patiently chatted with them.
"Chen Gongyi was fierce enough to become Gao, he killed the bandit Gao Ping, and he was strategizing. He is truly the best Han Dynasty in the world." Someone came up and praised him.
Shao Xun took a closer look and saw that this was not Zuo Sima Pei Shao, so he replied: "That's too much praise. You have done a great job by sticking to Jiyang and facing the enemy directly."
"Ming Gong first stood up in Luoyang to show off the rivers and mountains, and then fought in the important city to annihilate Jue Chou and others. All these things, the scholars and people of Yanzhou felt and remembered them."
"Without Yang Zhong's many plans, Kao City might not have been so stable." Shao Xun took Pan Tao's hand and said.
Pan Tao is undoubtedly an egoist, a very sophisticated kind.
Shao Xun still appreciated his love.
Pan Tao persuaded him to gather the refugees and build Wubao, which was the beginning of his hegemony.
To put it bluntly, without the support of these private soldiers, the late Emperor Sima Yue would have dared to attack him.
It was Pan Tao's advice that made him determined to take advantage of the favorable opportunity of Luoyang's power vacuum to establish his own private military system.
"The Duke of Ming Dynasty sailed his boat and crossed the great river..."
One after another, the shogunate's aides came forward and praised him for free.
Shao Xun was in a hurry to enter the city, but later he was a little perfunctory.
After finally finishing his words, he entered the city surrounded by his own soldiers and paid homage to the dowager.
As for Sima Pi, he had moved to the Zhenjun General's Mansion outside the city to officially take charge of affairs, because the concubine was "sick".
When he arrived near the house, Pei Shiliu was already waiting at the door from a distance.
Shao Xun walked a few steps quickly and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"
"The concubine felt a little sleepy in the afternoon, so she fell asleep," Pei Shiliu said.
"How's your appetite these days?"
"Better than the past few days."
The two of them walked while talking.
The soldiers were at the front to disperse the crowds and prevent unknown people from approaching.
Shao Xun frowned, called Cai Cheng, and asked him to take the people away. Just leave a few sentries in the backyard, and be gentle with your hands and feet, so as not to disturb the sick concubine.
Cai Cheng took the order and left.
When they arrived outside Concubine Pei's bedroom, the maids dispersed one after another, leaving only Mrs. Liu waiting there.
Shao Xun nodded to her.
Mr. Liu showed no expression on his face and left without any courtesy.
Shao Xun took her hand.
Mrs. Liu's heart trembled, and she even panicked.
She tried hard to recall her attitude when she faced him last time, so she turned her head and looked at him. Then she felt that her eyes were wrong, so she forced herself to brew up feelings of hatred and indifference, and looked at Shao Xun coldly.
Shao Xun looked at her and said sincerely: "Thank you for your hard work during this period."
After saying that, he entered the bedroom.
Mrs. Liu was stunned.
Embarrassment, regret and other emotions all came up in an instant, and there was even a trace of inexplicable grievance and comfort after receiving recognition.
She left in a panic, not daring to look back at that person.
After entering the bedroom, Shao Xun immediately saw Concubine Pei lying on her side on the couch.
Breathe long and peacefully.
There was a bit of worry on his face, and even when he fell asleep, his brows were slightly frowned.
He was covered with a thin quilt. There should be a slightly bulging belly under the quilt, but unfortunately he couldn't see clearly.
Shao Xun sat on the bedside and looked at her quietly.
It seems that more than nine years ago, Hua Nu was still an elegant and lonely Princess of the East China Sea. She was smart and had already seen the troubled times in the next few years.
At that time, she probably just wanted to subconsciously grasp something and cultivate something so that she would have a team of guards who could handle the chaotic situation in the future.
Amidst the curls of tea smoke, the young man who prostrated himself in front of her kept peeking at her, attracted by his appearance and temperament.
In nine years, too many things have happened.
She delivered many messages to him.
She took out her dowry and used it to build a fort.
When Luoyang was experiencing internal and external troubles, they supported each other in Jinyong City.
She was so angry at being scolded by her father that when he returned from the expedition to Hebei, he quietly gave her a gift.
Every year on Zhengdan, when the shogunate officials gathered together, she skillfully guided the conversation and eliminated a lot of unnecessary trouble for him.
After Sima Yue died of illness, she took the initiative to stand up and win over Sima Que and the generals of the shogunate. She reluctantly held the shogunate together and handed it over to him.
When the Xiongnu invaded, she stood firm in Kao City and inspired people. She took her servants and maids to carry water and meals for the soldiers, sewed their shirts, and stabilized the situation.
She is now several months pregnant and has given birth to a child for him.
Shao Xun stretched out his hand and gently smoothed the sorrow between Concubine Pei's brows.
Concubine Pei opened her eyes, and when she saw Shao Xun sitting in front of him, there was no exaggerated surprise, only a quiet smile: "Are you back?"
"Back."
"Go and wash up." Concubine Pei said.
Shao Xun looked at himself, smiled to himself, and said, "I'm anxious to see you."
"I know."
Shao Xun stood up and left the bedroom.
The soldiers quickly boiled the water, and Shao Xun sat comfortably in the tub.
Going out to fight is like this.
Exposed to the sun and rain, climbing on ice and lying in the snow, the limelight is like a knife cutting through it.
It is common to go without taking a shower for a long time. How can he look handsome? The image of a young and handsome general does not exist.
Mrs. Liu brought over a set of robes and placed them on the table.
"Wait a minute." Shao Xun called out to Ms. Liu who was about to turn around and leave.
Ms. Liu trembled and her heart started beating loudly.
She felt that she should be angry, but after brewing for a long time, she could not bring up too many such emotions.
She forced herself to imagine the night when Shao Xun raped her, and it had some effect, and her hatred gradually grew.
But after a while, her daughter's lovely face appeared in front of her, and her hatred was eliminated over and over again.
She bit her lip, trying not to think about her daughter, but imagining the scene when Shao Xun ravaged her.
But the scene quickly shifted, and at dawn, the scene appeared of Shao Xun riding his horse on a high hill, and the whole city's soldiers and civilians cheering enthusiastically.
One was Taibai Xing who came down from the sky to save her, and the other was the villain who forcibly insulted her. The scenes gradually merged, and Ms. Liu felt weak all over her body and her legs were a little weak.
"There is a box on the desk over there. Open it and take a look." Shao Xun's voice came.
Ms. Liu suddenly woke up. She didn't dare to look back. After finding the box, she opened it and was slightly surprised.
"Shi Le used the silk from Gaotang to give rewards to the army." Shao Xun said, "These pieces look good and should be more valuable, so I'll give them to you."
Mrs. Liu gently stroked the silk fabric.
She couldn't explain her feelings clearly. They were happy, sad, and sad. All in all, they were very complicated.
Everything comes together in the end, and there is only one sentence: "Thank you."
He also knew that he was born in the Liu family of Pingyuan? He knew that he had lived in Gaotang since he was a child?
"That's right. I've worked hard for you these days, and I'll need you to help take care of Hua Nu in the future." Shao Xun said casually.
I don't know why, but the little joy that just emerged in Liu's heart dissipated.
She picked up the silk fabric, bowed reluctantly, and left in a hurry.
She walked very fast, and there was still some greasy residue between her legs, which made her face burn and she felt ashamed.
There seemed to be some resentment that shouldn't be there. She was confused and frightened, so she could only run away.
Shao Xun didn't pay much attention to her mood, he just felt that she was acting awkwardly and a little strange.
After drying off my body, I put on my robe and went to the bedroom.
He took off his shoes, climbed onto the couch, lifted the quilt, and carefully held Concubine Pei in his arms.
"When will you return to Xuchang?" Concubine Pei put her head in his arms and asked.
"I won't come back." Shao Xun gently touched her belly and said.
He already has three children, but this child is different, really different.
"You've become the governor, so you can't talk properly?" Concubine Pei said angrily.
"Cai Cheng." Shao Xun shouted loudly.
"Here." Cai Cheng's voice came from the window.
"Send the order and the army will set up camp."
"promise."
After giving the instructions, Shao Xun looked at Concubine Pei.
"Hunjun!" Concubine Pei chuckled.
"For the sake of Pomeranian's happiness, what can't I do?" Shao Xun said with a smile.
Concubine Pei covered his mouth and said: "It's okay to say this only in the boudoir, but I'm afraid you will get carried away outside and let the news slip. You are not allowed to talk nonsense in the future."
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Shao Xun followed suit.
Concubine Pei lay quietly in his arms and stopped talking.
Shao Xun gently stroked her back.
Concubine Pei said something last time, "I am also a woman." Since then, he has realized that even the most powerful regent mother has emotional needs. When she is vulnerable, sometimes she even needs to coax an ignorant little woman.
Same, provide emotional value.
How can a yellow-haired person not understand this?
What's more, pregnant women are more emotionally unstable and need more tenderness.
"You can leave at the end of the month." After a long time, Concubine Pei said, "It's been a long time, and I'm afraid it will cause criticism."
"And you?"
"I will stay in Kaocheng." Concubine Pei said, "Besides, I don't like going to Xuchang either."
Shao Xun kissed her and hugged her a little harder.
Concubine Pei raised her head, looked into his eyes, and said, "Now do you know the disadvantages of messing with women randomly?"
Shao Xun smiled awkwardly.
I wanted to make some nonsense, saying that it is a male's instinct to spread genes to more female animals, but when I saw the look in Concubine Pei's eyes, I could only pretend to be stupid.
"If I end up, all the women in your family will..." Concubine Pei pinched Shao Xun gently.
Shao Xun suddenly felt a little lucky.
Fortunately, Concubine Pei was his mistress. Due to her status, she couldn't have too many inappropriate thoughts, otherwise it would be really troublesome.
"In recent days, there may have been rumors outside. My son came to visit several times, but I didn't see him. I sent him away, but he must have had suspicions." Concubine Pei added: "It's fortunate that you called me.
We won against the Huns, otherwise, I don’t know how to deal with the situation."
Thinking of this, she sighed a little.
After all, there is a gap of identity between the two of them.
"There will be a way." Shao Xun said: "When I wipe out the northern princes, who will dare to make irresponsible remarks?"
"Then you have to hurry up. I'm thirty-one this year and I'm going to be old." Concubine Pei's mood gradually improved.
Shao Xun looked at the sky.
In this life, it seems that I am really working for these women.
But is it a loss? Shao Xun lowered his head and looked at the mistress in his arms. It seemed that it was not a loss, that’s enough!
Furthermore, I am here for the people of the world.
Pattern, pattern, this is my yellow-haired pattern.
