Chapter 188 The Secret Letter of the Imperial City
When Li Luo heard about this, he sighed and was speechless. It was not because he was greedy for fame.? ? ? ??
It's just that in Zhuocheng, those who were granted generals and marquises were like crucian carp crossing the river. There were only three battalions of Dudu Cavalry, and there were more than a dozen people above General Xuanwei. There were also three or four people who were granted the title of general.
There are also many people who have become feudal lords.
At that time, seven people from the Chengyun tribe were granted the title of marquis by the Grand Master, not to mention others. Unexpectedly, in the Western Expedition, the soldiers risked their lives and marched across the battlefield. When the imperial court came to rectify their names, it would be so difficult.
.
If it weren't for Li Luo, he would have won such a great victory, so what? No wonder someone in Zhuocheng wrote Mo Wei Shuzi's words and satirized Li Luo's appointment as a general.
Li Luo calmed down, sighed and said nothing.
Qiu Zijiang suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly ordered his bodyguard to go to the room to get something. He raised his head and looked among the crowd, and said: "By the way, I remember that there is a female general in the army, and the Holy Emperor also granted the county a title."
Lord, why didn’t you come today?”
"Oh, Master Sikong has something to do with her?"
"Yes, I almost forgot that before leaving the palace, the Queen Mother ordered someone to bring something and asked the minister to personally deliver it to the Princess."
Li Luo couldn't help but laugh. The title of the princess, Hucha Dongchan, was quite unusual. Li Luo called Chi Li and ordered him to find Hucha Dongchan. He asked Chi Li to go to the Thorn Horse Fortress first and take a look. Chi Li led him
Life leaves.
A few moments later, Chi Li and Hucha Dongchan walked in. The military generals were already used to seeing each other, but Qiu Zijiang and his group were seeing each other for the first time. Everyone took a long breath, and the sound of several people breathing suddenly changed.
urgent.
When Huchajing saw Huchadongchan, he was surprised and said, "Hey, what are you doing out there?"
Hucha Dongchan was furious and glared at Huchajing. He didn't go in, so how could he say anything about it? Hucha Dongchan walked up to Li Luo, bowed, and asked somewhat boringly: "General, are you looking for me?"
?”
Li Luo smiled softly and said to Qiu Qiu, "Lord Sikong. This is Princess Mu Chan."
Qiu Zijiang stood up in a hurry, walked out of the table, bowed his head to the ground and said: "Sikong Qiu Zijiang, I have met Your Highness the Princess."
Hucha Dongchan was startled. He was speechless. He couldn't help him or stand up. He was at a loss. He looked at Chi Li and then at Li Luo, not knowing how to deal with it.
Chi Li whispered: "Hurry and help him up."
"Oh," Hucha Dongchan took a step forward, grabbed Qiu Zijiang's arm and lifted it with strength. Qiu Zijiang couldn't help himself, and was forcibly lifted up by Hucha Dongchan. Hucha Dongchan said crisply: "Master Sikong,
My name is Hucha Dongchan, just call me by my name."
Qiu Zijiang hurriedly broke away and took two steps back. He looked at Hucha Dongchan, who looked at Qiu Zijiang with a confused look on his face. He looked at Qiu Zijiang honestly but with some confusion.
Qiu Zijiang hurriedly suppressed the annoyance in his heart and said: "Your Highness, the Queen Mother ordered me to bring something and hand it over to the Princess for Your Highness to see." After saying that, he took a brocade bag from the guard just now and handed it over.
For Huca Dongcicada. The brocade bag is embroidered with a phoenix with gold and jade threads. It is of excellent workmanship. At a glance, you can tell that it is something from the palace.
Hucha Dongchan opened the brocade bag, took out an object from it, held it in his hand, and it was full of light. Someone in the seat was well-informed and shouted: "Night Pearl!"
A bead about an inch in size rests quietly on the jade catkin, glowing with a faint white mist. It is really beautiful. Judging from its quality and size, it must be of top quality.
Shen Xiangdong took one look and immediately recognized that this must be a treasure from Cang'er. There were few such pearls elsewhere. He lowered his head lightly and did not look at it.
Hucha Dongchan looked at it carefully and said with a happy smile: "What a beautiful bead, but it's just a little small."
Everyone smiled. Luming pearls of this size were common, but there were very few that could shine like this. Rich families and nobles in the palace might be able to hide a few of them.
Chi Li saw Hucha Dongchan happily holding the night pearl in his hand and playing with it, so he could only whisper again: "Thank you."
Hucha Dongchan made a sound, put away the luminous pearl, and said as a man: "Dongchan, thank you, Lord Sikong."
Qiu Zijiang smiled and said: "Princess, there is no need to say thank you. The minister is just here on the way. If you want to thank me, Princess should thank the Queen Mother."
"Queen Mother? But I don't recognize the Queen Mother."
"This?" Qiu Zijiang was startled. He didn't expect Hucha Dongchan to say this. If it were anyone else, most people would say thank you and pass by. This was the first time Qiu Zijiang encountered him, so he said helplessly. : "Easy to say, easy to say. When we return to Zhuocheng, if the princess is willing, General Li can take you to the palace."
"Okay, the Queen Mother is your grandmother, no wonder she gave me beads." Hucha Dongchan looked at Li Luo as if she suddenly realized something.
As soon as he finished speaking, someone among the people sitting down screamed in surprise. Di Jie and Qiu Zixiang were also quite surprised and looked at Hucha Dongchan.
Hucha Dongchan originally just wanted to say that the Queen Mother was Li Luo's closest relative, so it was natural for him to let Li Luo take her with her. However, it sounded to the ears of the generals that it was more than that, and it sounded like she loved the house and the bird.
Li Luo's face felt slightly hot, but Hucha Dongchan had a cheerful heart and spoke carelessly. How could these people have such thoughts? Li Luo coughed lightly and said, "Princess Princess, please sit down."
Hucha Dongchan looked at it and went over to sit with Chi Li. Hucha Jing greeted him several times, but Hucha Dongchan ignored him.
During the dinner party, whether everyone was pretending to be affectionate or speaking from the bottom of their hearts, the host and guest were both enjoying themselves.
After the banquet, the generals bid farewell to Qiu Zijiang and left on their own. Li Luo was about to return to camp when he was stopped by Qiu Zijiang. He pulled him aside, looked around and saw that no one was around, secretly took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Li Luo. He dropped his hands, said nothing, turned around and left in a hurry. Li Luo glanced at Qiu Zijiang, thoughtfully.
Back at the camp, Li Luo read the letter by burning the light, remained silent for a moment, and then burned the letter without revealing it to anyone else.
After Qiu Zijiang proclaimed the imperial edict, he had no official duties. Emperor Wanlong did not set a date for his return. Qiu Zijiang saw that the weather was too hot and he did not want to rush. He was happy to be at ease, so he stayed at Yingchou Gorge, saying that he would wait until autumn. It's not too late to leave.
Li Luo and Di Jie were noncommittal and allowed Qiu Zijiang to stay in the commander's residence. Li Luo ordered brothers Ni Qing and Ni Bai to take more care of him, apologized, and went to the camp to handle military affairs.
It has been two months since the army captured Yingchou Gorge. Midsummer has passed, and there is already a slight chill in Yingchou Gorge in the morning and evening. Qiu Zixiang stayed in Yingchou Gorge for more than ten days. He spent the whole day sightseeing in the mountains and rivers, enjoying himself and enjoying himself. Without a singer, it's a bit lacking.
One day, there was a change in the army camp. Qiu Zijiang didn't know why, so he summoned Ni Qing to ask. It turned out that there was another war in the Chen River Valley area, which affected Yingchou Gorge, and the army entered the camp to prepare for any eventuality. Qiu Zijiang was shocked and was very busy. He bid farewell to Li Luo and hurried back to Zhuocheng. Li Luo did not insist on staying, and ordered Qi Shao to lead his army to escort Qiu Zijiang to Tianshui Prefecture, and then return to the camp.
Chinese army tent.
Liu Ce will tell all the generals the current situation of Xirong that he has discovered. (To be continued.)
