Chapter 60: chain reaction

Views:

Qin Mubai returned to Baiqi Army Camp and bumped into Li Junxian who looked confused. Before Qin Mubai could speak, Li Junxian pulled him to a quiet place and started talking like a barrage of words: "I told you, Mubai, you really dare to do anything!"

"What's wrong?" Qin Mubai asked in shock.

"Are you still pretending to be stupid?" Li Junxian was so anxious that he stuttered a little, "Well, then... were those palace ladies arrested under your order?"

"You mean those little pussies, haha, yes, I ordered them to be arrested." Qin Mubai smiled nonchalantly.

"Good guy, you can still laugh!" Li Junxian was so angry that he stared at Qin Mubai with wide eyes as if he were sizing up a monster, and almost roared, "Are you really confused or not?" Do you understand? Who is Princess Gaoyang? No one in the world dares to mess with her, the apple of His Majesty's eye!"

"So what?" Qin Mubai curled his lips indifferently, "It is my duty to offend her. Could it be that I neglected my duty for her?"

"Oh, you are obviously a sensible person, why do you pretend to be confused?" Li Junxian said anxiously, "Princess Gaoyang and His Majesty the Emperor, no matter what, they are still father and daughter, a family. We ministers, that is Outsiders, they have been estranged from each other since ancient times. Can we care about their relationship? Besides, Princess Gaoyang is not an ordinary princess. She is probably the most beloved daughter of His Majesty the Emperor for so many years. It's her. To be honest, even if she burns down the palace, His Majesty will only laugh about it. "

"Is it that exaggerated?" Qin Mubai shrugged his shoulders and widened his eyes, pretending to look at Li Junxian with a very frightened and frightened expression.

"Ahem... Exaggeration, just a little exaggeration." Li Junxian didn't know that Qin Mubai was playing tricks, and shook his head dumbfounded, "But you really shouldn't mess with her. This Gao Yang is definitely the next generation today. Waiting for the evil star. I have been with His Majesty the Emperor for many years, but I still have a few things that are still fresh in my mind."

"Tell me about it." Qin Mubai crossed his hands in front of his chest with his free time, wanting to crack a few melon seeds and wait for Li Junxian's gossip to break out.

"More than two years ago, when Empress Changsun was still there, His Majesty once held a family banquet, and all the princes and princesses came." Li Junxian said, "At the family banquet, all the princes and princes were cautious and honest, but only There was Princess Gaoyang who refused to sit in her seat and refused to eat until she sat on His Majesty's lap. Instead of being angry, His Majesty actually picked her up and ate the meal. "

"What's the big deal, haha!" Qin Mubai laughed.

"Hey, don't you know this? Queen Changsun is in charge of the harem, and she always pays the most attention to etiquette. The prince, eldest princess and others were all present at the family banquet, and the seats were arranged according to the eldest and the youngest. Princess Gaoyang Not only did this concubine not sit obediently in her seat, but she even sat on His Majesty's lap. Given Queen Changsun's temperament, she would never allow such a thing to happen. And Your Majesty has always respected Queen Changsun very much, but because of your respect for Queen Changsun. Gao Yang's preference ignored the Queen's dissuasion. How much does His Majesty prefer Gao Yang?" Li Junxian kept talking and talked a lot. Most of them are stories about how some emperors made special exceptions for Gao Yang and were extraordinarily kind and generous.

All in all, for some unknown reason, Li Shimin was particularly fond of Gao Yang; moreover, Gao Yang had been lively, active, cunning and weird since he was a child, often causing mischief. Li Shimin, who always valued laws and regulations, was particularly indulgent towards his daughter.

After listening for a long time, Qin Mubai finally became a little impatient: "I said... General Li, are you not like your usual self?"

"What's wrong?" Li Junxian was stunned.

"Why did you suddenly become a mother-in-law?" Qin Mubai said with a smile, "The person has been arrested and the thing has happened, what else can be done? However, thank you very much for telling me so many interesting stories. Let's See you."

After saying that, Qin Mubai turned around and left.

"You...you!" Li Junxian pointed at Qin Mubai's back, speechless for a moment, and said bitterly, "You are so ungrateful! Qin Mubai, let me tell you, you have to be careful when you offend Princess Gaoyang. Be careful!"

"I know!" Qin Mubai raised his hand and strode away.

Li Junxian shook his head for a while: "This brat is really not afraid of tigers, and he dares to do anything... However, this is probably the reason why His Majesty the Emperor appointed him as the Baiqi envoy, right? The purpose of Baiqi is also to be simple. , obey, and protect you wholeheartedly... Hey, old guys like us are really out of date!"

Before returning to Baiqi Yamen, Pang Fei hurriedly ran in and said with a troubled face: "General, what should we do with the four maids? The thief has been here since he was captured. Yelling. We don’t want to fight or scold them. The camp is full of monks and bachelor soldiers, and they are making all the brothers feel anxious... I heard that they are Princess Gaoyang’s people

"You're going to shut up whoever's talking. If you're dishonest and whip me, you're going to ask me about such nonsense?!" Qin Mubai glared at him in annoyance.

Pang Fei was startled, and hurriedly raised his hands and said: "I know I know this, I'll do it right away!"

"Wait a minute, come back!" Qin Mubai called him back, held his ear and shouted, "You don't care who they are, as long as you know they are prisoners! In Baiqi, there are only military orders and nothing else. If anyone forgets, go back and copy the military order 10,000 times!"

"Ah!" Pang Fei covered his ears and screamed in pain and fright, and said hurriedly, "No, I dare not forget it! If any other brother forgets, I will make him copy the military order ten thousand times!"

"Go away -" Qin Mubai kicked him and cursed, "When you are a soldier, you should be a soldier honestly and do your own thing well. It's all enough. What are you doing like a talkative woman muttering so many ghosts! Vulgar! "

"Yes! -" Pang Fei ran away in panic.

After dinner, it was already the time Li Shimin had agreed with Qin Mubai, and he was ready to go to Daming Palace to meet him at this time. When he walked out of the yamen and passed the deputy ambassador's pavilion in the front hall, he happened to see Changsun Huan and Yuchi Baoyun huddled together, whispering in a low voice. When the two saw Qin Mubai, they immediately stopped talking and exchanged greetings with smiles on their faces.

"What are you two talking about? Are you so happy?" Qin Mubai walked over and asked casually. Ever since the last time he came back from Qu Shui Shui Shang, Changsun Huan had been very honest and did not do anything to leave any evidence. He was also polite to Qin Mubai and did not dare to have any conflict. Qin Mubai knew that this boy, who was full of yin and yang, was afraid that he would find some reason to make fun of him and take revenge!

Changsun Huan clasped his fists and replied with a bright smile on his face: "Brother Qin, we didn't talk about anything. It was just some gossip after dinner, it doesn't matter."

"Yes, yes, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Yuchi Baoyun also laughed dryly.

Qin Mubai glanced at him and smiled secretly in his heart. Forget it about Changsun Huan. A straight-tempered fool like Yuchi Baoyun has three words written on his face when he lies: Don't believe me. In fact, you don't need to guess to know that these two guys chatted so secretly and then kept it secretive afterwards. They were just talking about me, Qin Mubai. Most likely, they were talking about the four palace ladies.

"Oh, then you can just talk." Qin Mubai cut his hands behind his back with a nonchalant expression. He deliberately walked away for two steps and then paused and said, "Oh, there is something I almost forgot. There is something today. Four palace maids broke into the palace and were surprised. I have arrested them. Now I have to do something. You two take turns to guard these four felons. Remember, no one is allowed unless you see my military order. When you see them, you can’t let them get away.”

In an instant, the expressions of Changsun Huan and Yuchi Baoyun changed.

Changsun Huan cursed in his heart: He would not let her go until she saw the military order... With Princess Gaoyang's temperament, she would most likely come over to kill her in a fierce manner and demand her release. When you, Qin Mubai, are not here, we will be the ones confronting her. If you release him, it will violate military orders; if you don't release him, you will directly offend Princess Gaoyang! —Qin Mubai, you bastard!

Qin Mubai blinked and looked at the two of them with sad faces, and said in surprise: "Do you have any questions?"

"Ahem... this, Brother Qin." Changsun Huan gritted his teeth and said with a smile, "I also know about the affairs of these four palace maids. In fact, there is no need to make such a big deal! Big things are reduced to trivial matters, why bother? Is it too tense to have a direct conflict with a character like Princess Gaoyang?"

"A big thing has been reduced to a trivial matter?" Qin Mubai looked up at the sky with a blank look on his face, and murmured to himself: "There seems to be no such article in the Hundred Cavalry Army Orders!"

After that, he cut his hands behind his back and left.

Eight words, Changsun Huan and Yuchi Baoyun were choked so much that they didn't speak for a long time, and watched Qin Mubai walk away.

"Yes, the man named Qin has made it clear today that he wants to stop us." Yuchi Baoyun was dejected and gritted his teeth bitterly, "Brother Zhangsun, that guy hasn't given us any trouble in the past few days, why did he suddenly have convulsions today? "

"It's none of your business to blame me." Changsun Huan secretly swallowed his resentment and shook his head in annoyance and frustration, "It's useless to talk more, quickly find a way to prepare to deal with Princess Gaoyang!"

"Damn, what a bad luck!" Yuchi Baoyun spat bitterly.

A few months have passed, and Changsun Huan and Yuchi Baoyun have finally seen how powerful Qin Mubai is. If you can't win a literary fight, you can't win a martial fight, and you'll definitely lose if you play with your own tricks. Now when Qin Mubai puts his little shoes on, Yuchi Baoyun can only shout that he is unlucky, and he has lost all the anger and temper he had before.

Changsun Huan was angry and regretful. After scolding Qin Mubai in his heart, he scolded himself again: Am I not being mean? I had nothing to do to force him to write a poem. He must have been possessed by a ghost at that time!

After walking out of the military camp, Qin Mubai wanted to laugh when he recalled the expressions of Changsun and Yuchi just now. He thought to himself that he didn't expect that four little palace ladies would trigger such a long chain reaction among Baiqi. Being an errand in the palace is really not that easy. Li Shimin said that he would personally handle this matter regarding Princess Gaoyang, and he might now meet her, his precious daughter, who had been "away" for two months, in the harem. After a conversation, Gao Yang will definitely not come to Baiqi to cause trouble. Otherwise you will have to come early.

Changsun Huan, this time I am just trying to scare you so that you can remember. From now on, don’t fantasize about being naughty with me. Otherwise, if I just give you a pair of small shoes to wear, it won't be that comfortable.
