They all say that a little separation is better than a newlywed. Although this sentence seems a little awkward when applied to Ni Xin, it is still reasonable.
After all, whether Ni Xin admits it or not, she can never let go of Li Kuo. This can be seen from the fact that she took the initiative to stay in Suiye City to wait for the boy's return.
Xiao Tao noticed Ni Xin's absence, lightly covered her lips and said with a smile: "It turns out that the eldest lady has a strong temper and cannot bear to surrender to the general. In fact, as women, we should not be too tough when we should commit ourselves. After all, the general
A person like that must have three wives and four concubines. However, the eldest lady is so affectionate towards the general, and the human heart is full of flesh, so the general must have some considerations in his heart."
"Who wants to marry him, you little girl, don't talk nonsense anymore!" Ni Xin immediately raised her eyebrows and gave Xiao Tao a fierce look. She was born in the world, and her eyes were naturally sharper than ordinary people. After she
Such a bluff made Xiao Tao stunned into silence.
After a long time, but no movement at all, Ni Xin felt annoyed that Xiao Tao was ignorant. She stamped her feet fiercely, and Miss Ni said sternly: "Why don't you help me dress up? I see, you girl is so pretentious.
It’s some inconspicuous little cleverness!”
Only then did Xiao Tao react. She stuck out her tongue and came to Ni Xin's side. She took the blusher and hairpin and helped Miss Ni complete her makeup.
But God always seems to like to joke with others. Before the red powder in Xiao Tao's hand touched Ni Xin's cheek, there were loud footsteps outside the house. Ni Xin was startled and stood up anxiously. There was actually a bronze mirror nearby.
Hit the ground.
"Ni Xin, I'm back!"
Li Kuo strode into the house and was stunned for a moment when he saw the broken pieces on the ground.
"General, general, let's talk. I, I'll go out first to see if the Yangchun noodles that the young lady in charge of the kitchen has ordered are ready." Xiao Tao leaned over and put the broken pieces into a dark blue wooden box, bowed, and stepped back.
He walked out of the room.
Now, the atmosphere in the room became even more awkward. Although Ni Xin had missed Li Kuo in every possible way these days, the joy she had imagined after seeing each other again after a long separation did not appear as expected. Miss Ni bit her jade lips tightly, unable to
Make a statement.
Seeing her like this, Li Kuo had to put aside the words he had prepared.
"You, why did you come back so suddenly...Xiao Tao said that it will take another ten days for you to come back..."
After being silent for a long time, Ni Xin finally lost her temper and asked first.
Li Kuo smiled slightly and said: "There is no definite answer for matters in the army. I sent the riders to Shule first just to allow Du Moyi to be prepared so that he would not be too busy. As for the specific date of the trip, of course,
It won’t be accurate.”
"Oh." Ni Xin had thousands of words in her heart, but at this moment, they all seemed to be stuck in her throat and she couldn't say a word.
"By the way, I made a robe for you. Come and see if it fits you." Ni Xin bit her lips, picked up the robe spread out on the side table, and handed it to Li Kuo.
In fact, the lining of her robe was purchased from a tailor shop in Shule City. Looking at the whole robe, only the front placket and waistband were hand-sewn and embroidered by herself. However, Miss Ni Xinni could do such a simple job.
But it became a big problem.
After all, she used to make a living by traveling around the world and had never touched a female worker since she was a child!
This seemingly ordinary piece of clothing took Ni Xin half a month to get it into what it looks like now.
"It's rare that you are so considerate, I have to give it a try." Li Kuo didn't want to disappoint Ni Xin, so he just smiled slightly and pulled the cuffs over and put them on.
"What, what is this?" After tying the laces of his inner robe, Li Kuo accidentally discovered a peony flower inside the front and asked suspiciously.
"This, this is...hey, you, you are such an idiot!"
Ni Xin's tone of voice had changed at this moment, and two blushes slowly appeared on her cheeks. She stamped her feet fiercely, Miss Ni only glanced at the young man, and walked out of the door.
...
...
In the camp in Shulenan City, a group of direct generals were celebrating the safe return of the "envoy".
Although this trip to the west as an envoy to the river was not a journey up the mountain of swords or a sea of fire, it was still full of dangers. Under the leadership of Li Kuo, they used the name of the Shemis caravan to avoid the Great Food Army and the Tianfang Jihad.
The guard set up a checkpoint and sneaked into the city of Bakhna.
The agreement secretly reached between the General and the King of Bukhana, Ashilanda, allowed every bronze warrior with his heart in his throat to soothe his tense nerves. With this stronghold, even if Commander Gao Xianzhi was the superior in the court,
In other words, if there is no rush to occupy Hezhong, the Tang Dynasty's influence in Hezhong will not be completely wiped out.
"Our general has made great contributions to the imperial court this time and brought honor to His Majesty the Emperor. Let me tell you, why don't you also appoint a deputy governor?" Wang Xiaochun picked up a coarse porcelain sea bowl and started to drink.
, he is a direct descendant of Li Kuo, so he and the young man will both be prosperous and devastated. If Li Kuo can be granted the title of deputy governor, he may be promoted to captain of the first battalion. If Li Kuo can win a marquis, he
Wang Xiaochun will never receive a reward below that of a county boy.
What's more, he admired Li Kuo from the bottom of his heart and was able to persuade the king of a country to switch to the Tang Dynasty so calmly and calmly. How could this kind of courage be possessed by ordinary mediocre people?
"That's right. Our general has become an army commander at a young age. He has a bright future. As long as we continue to work with the general, why worry about not being able to honor our ancestors and have a wife and son?"
Dou Qing also felt a surge of blood. He slapped the case and praised: "I think back when we followed the general out of Chang'an, we received so many disdainful looks. But now, looking around, those
The soldiers of the Jinwu Guard were just hanging around in Chang'an waiting to die. But my brothers, who were promoted to captains and brigade commanders, had a bright future waiting for them.
Isn't life just a hard-fought battle? Since it is a battle, it is indispensable to fight with real guns and knives. If you want to fight hard, your swords will see red and your guns will be stained with blood. If you encounter some challenges, you will encounter some
If you are frustrated, you will stop moving forward. Is it a man who gives the fuck back?
"It's hard to say. Although Brother Kuo'er has made great achievements, he has been promoted too quickly recently. Some people in the court must be jealous. Although His Majesty has great praise for Brother Kuo'er, he can't stand others' gossip. You don't know,
Those people in the temple never use knives to kill people."
Zhang Yanji was not very optimistic, and poured cold water on his head when the public was in a state of excitement.
Although he didn't say who the person was by name, it was like a bright mirror in everyone's minds!
"How dare he!" Pu Dachui punched the case in front of him and said, "Our general has been tolerant of him many times. First, he bribed the old thief Ge Shuhan in an attempt to kill people invisible. Later, he hoped to borrow the hands of the Huihu people.
What's the matter with trapping us? We men got to Shule by fighting with swords, and that guy still doesn't give up?"
"I didn't say it must be him who is gossiping. Why are you so anxious?" Zhang Yanji rolled his eyes at him and said: "Besides, if he really wants to slander His Majesty, we are thousands of miles away from Chang'an, how can he do it?
any idea."
"Hey, treacherous ministers are in power, treacherous ministers are in power!" Pu Dachui beat his chest and feet for a while, frustrated. "When we fight bravely in front of the battle, we not only have to worry about the man-eating scimitar, but we also have to pay attention to whether there are any of our own people stabbing behind us.
What the hell!"
"How should I put it? Good people don't live long, and disasters live for thousands of years!" Xian Yuyucheng also felt a suffocation in his chest and sneered.
In his opinion, the general sometimes behaves too kindly. As a soldier, sometimes you need to show the necessary courage. Only in this way can you make your opponents fearful and your subordinates admire you. Although the general is very kind to his soldiers, he rarely
The lack of dignity required by an army leader more or less made the Shule Army less confident when facing foreign enemies.
"That's not true. After all, our general is the imperial concubine's master. Even if His Majesty the Emperor doesn't remember the general's merits, he can't watch the imperial concubine shed tears, right?"
Dou Qing didn't want to see the good atmosphere in the military camp ruined, so he stood up and smoothed things over: "Although our general comes from a humble background and has no backing in the court, he is the master of the imperial concubine after all. I heard that his old man is still
Make good friends with Mrs. Guo Guo. With these two people as guarantees, those young men must weigh the pros and cons even if they want to interfere!"
"Huh, that's not necessarily true. Don't forget, both of them have the surname Yang!" Zhang Yanji couldn't help but shattered everyone's illusions with just one sentence. "What's more, now,
Brother Kuo'er has no backer in the court. Looking at all the border towns in the Tang Dynasty, among the generals who have reached the high position of Deputy Envoy of Jiedu, which one does not have his back leaning against a big tree?"
Yes, the general is indeed the imperial concubine’s archery master, and he is indeed on good terms with Mrs. Guo. But they are both members of the Yang family after all. If things really develop into war, what reason would they have to betray the Yang family?
, to help the general, an "outsider"?
The truth is often not difficult to discover, but people are afraid of facing the dark side and choose to cover it up. Once all the shameful things are put on the table and bathed in the scorching sun, whether you like it or not, you must
to face it.
"Hey, why are you so reluctant to see the general get promoted, and you try to bully everyone with your words?" Wang Xiaochun said he couldn't talk about Zhang Yanji, but he also got angry: "According to what you said, we in the Tang Dynasty don't have generals with strong backgrounds.
Are you destined to never reach a high position above the deputy envoy of Jiedu? Why can't our general help you? Why are you so reluctant to see him?"
"I didn't say that!" Zhang Yanji felt a headache. Among this Shule army, except for Xianyu Yucheng, he had the deepest background. Born in a famous family, the young man was naturally promoted and occupied many honorary positions.
He was less advantageous. Many generals with the same military merit as him were promoted to brigade commander, but he had already obtained the actual post of captain and received the title of third-grade county marquis.
Although this title is nothing in Chang'an, a city with countless grandsons and grandsons, in the eyes of these poor Kuhaha, it is an attractive piece of fat. How could he be so mean? He talked about his origin here!
Zhang Yanji gritted his teeth and took the initiative to relent: "Actually, there is no chance at all. Didn't General Li Ji win the title of British Duke from a humble background? Brother Kuo'er, these military achievements are real and no one can deny them.
