When I heard the battle report about gunpowder, I thought of Tang Si, but I didn't have time to think about it at that time, and then I thought about it slowly—I still don't know what he did, but I can at least be sure that Tang Xiaosan will not Would do against me—well, at least not against what he thought would be against me, but how it turned out was hard to say.
After being woken up by hunger, seeing that Tang Si was still in a deep sleep, he sneaked out of bed alone, straightened his crumpled clothes, opened the corner of the curtain and took a peek outside:
The soldiers were all at their positions, the master was talking to Han Xin, I searched around, but couldn't find Qiao Yu—and Tao Qing.
I remember when I was half asleep and half awake, I heard Tang Sizhi's excuse for dismissing Qiao Yu was "Second brother is looking for it", it seems that the movement last night must have something to do with Tao Qing. That nasty feeling is back—everyone ganging up to hide something from me...
A patrolman walked past before setting up the camp. I waved at him and shouted in a low voice, "Hey, you, it's you, come here!"
The man looked around, found me, ran over in small steps, and bowed his head to accept the order.
"Is Your Majesty awake?" I asked.
"Your Majesty woke up at dawn. At this time, he was discussing matters with the two generals Bai and Xu in the tent of the Chinese Army. Prime Minister Shen and Lord Han were ordered to count the wounded."
This little soldier is really clever, so I asked a question, and he answered all the questions I wanted to ask later. I nodded with satisfaction. "Did you see any new faces?"
The little soldier turned his eyes and replied: "Mr. Qiao is back. I heard that last night there were unidentified reinforcements who raided the enemy from behind and solved the danger of Baiyang Valley. The reinforcements were not many, only more than a hundred, but they were all unstoppable. Before I saw the leader of the army with Mr. Qiao, and now I don’t know where he is.”
I looked him up and down in surprise for a while, "What's your name?"
"Villain Jia Chunjie!"
What a name!
I nodded and patted him on the shoulder. "I remember you, hang out with me in the future." What a clever man!
Jia Chunjie's eyes showed joy, he nodded and said, "Yes! Thank you, Your Highness, for the promotion!"
"Very good. Now my first order - prepare me some food and send it to my tent." This is the master's tent... It shouldn't matter if you leave Tang Si here alone, right
should be ok...
Jia Chunjie took the order to leave. I lifted the hem of my clothes and slipped back to my tent. As soon as I entered the door, the door curtain had not completely fallen. My waist tightened, and my body was pulled into a generous and warm embrace.
"Are you awake?" The deep voice was gently sent to my ears accompanied by the scorching breath. I shuddered, my toes curled up, and I didn't have the courage to look up at him, so I just closed my eyes and squinted at him. Adam's apple, accompanied by a smile and shouted: "Second brother..."
"Huh?" His paw scratched my back, scaring my little heart to beat violently. Tang Si said the sound of the same word was high-pitched, but it was courageous and not threatening. Tao Qing said it in a low voice. Lazy, but chilling.
I was still thinking about what I said to him when we met for the last time more than a month ago. His attitude at that time was not very good. It has been repaired, who knows if it will be intensified now.
"Second brother, you've worked hard..." I smiled flatteringly, let his uncle hold me in my arms, and rubbed his back and shoulders without complaint.
"How hard is it?" He glanced at me with a smile, enjoying my service with peace of mind.
"Last night, you and Tang Si saved that bastard Xu Li." That's what Jia Chunjie told me.
He nodded casually and said, "Well, point to the left."
Me: "..." He really thinks of himself as an uncle!
I punched him hard a few times, and he grabbed my hand with a smile and squeezed it in his palm, "You don't blame me anymore?"
I stared in surprise for a while, "What do I blame you for?"
"Blame me for lying to you and using you." His fingertips were drawing something on my palm, and the numb feeling made me unable to concentrate. "Since you've remembered everything, don't you have any resentment in your heart? When you left that day, weren't you still very angry?"
I turned my face away with a guilty conscience—at that time, I had a fever in my head, and I would say such things to him when I was confused. Impulse is the devil, and now I dare not speak to him like that if I have a hundred courage.
"I didn't think clearly at the time..."
"Have you figured it out now?"
"Well..." I responded in a low voice, nodded, and looked up at him with some hesitation, "but now... in the future... you... I..." I omitted all the important points, but he understood me Yes, with a clear smile in his eyes. "Remember that crooked poem you made when you were a child?"
I scratched my head embarrassingly: "I have many poems, which one are you referring to?"
Tao Qing couldn't help but pinch my cheek, and instead of answering my question directly, she went elsewhere. "You know that I have secretly controlled the southern economy, and that I am dealing with Wanjian Villa, so do you know what I have discovered?"
Two words flashed in my mind: "Gunpowder?"
"Wrong answer!" He knocked on my forehead, I raised my hand to cover it in pain, and accused him with teary eyes.
"That's... a weapon?" By the way, the master seems to have said that the weapons of the Minyue Kingdom were smuggled through the rivers and lakes of the Chen Kingdom.
"That's right this time." He rewarded me with a kiss on the forehead, and I was healed in an instant, giggling... "Wanjian Villa secretly helped Minyue Kingdom transport one hundred thousand swords, guns, swords and halberds from Liang Kingdom, sandwiched in herbs Among the leather materials, they went south several times. Although the other party kept the secrecy very high, it is impossible for such a large amount of goods to be transported in the south without leaving any traces. It’s just that when I got the news, they may have shipped several batches. The reason why I was too busy to ignore you at the beginning of the year was because the shadow seized a batch of weapons, and I was too busy to find out what happened."
I'll just say it! Even if Tang Si smashes antiques every day and I throw Ganoderma lucidum every day, it won't make him too busy to disappear! Sure enough, I was busy with other things! "What about the gunpowder?"
"I entrusted the affairs of Central Shu to Tao Ran, and I didn't pay much attention to it. It was only after you left that Tang Si's elder brother Tang Yi sent the news that the traitors from the Lei Family Fort and the Tang Sect had defected to the enemy, and the traitors from the Tang Sect and the Lei Family Fort had been surrendered to the enemy. Gunpowder Secret Art is sold to Minyue Kingdom. For more than a month, we have sent experts from Baihong Villa and Tangmen to thoroughly investigate Wanjian Villa and Leijiabao. You have seen the Nine Thunder Formation in Leijiabao, Tang Si Say, you brazenly said that you are the only one who can escape.” I murmured, “That’s the truth…” I was pinched again… “Leijiabao arranged Poplar Valley into a nine-thunder formation. , although the power is not as good as before, it is not something that ordinary soldiers can fight against. Originally, Tang Si and I each led 60 people to ambush the Jianghu people disguised as soldiers in Baiyang Valley. Xu Li led his troops into the valley, which touched the formation .Luckily, Tang Si suffered a loss once, and he also has experience with this formation, so he succeeded in breaking through."
"Second brother..." I looked at him with bright eyes, "You are a hero. I thought..." I sighed aggrievedly, "You never came to see me, because you don't want to talk to me anymore..." No wonder, I just thought Joe Yu Tesheng has not found you for so long!
Tao Qing rubbed my head, and said with a smile: "I originally thought, I would come to pick you up after clearing Wanjian Villa and Leijiabao..." The word "pick up" made my heart tremble, and I was indescribably moved . "You are always safer and more stable in this army than following me, and your current body is not suitable for excessive movement..."
When I heard this, my eyes widened and my mouth couldn't close. I groaned a few times and said in a trembling voice, "You...know...how? How did you know that!" I obviously didn't say anything to anyone! Now I only have a thicker waist, it is my nature to be greedy and sleepy, and I have done such a good job of keeping secrets, how did this person see it with such sharp eyes? Ahh... Am I really unable to escape from his palm
I sat on his lap and watched him rest his chin with one hand, smiling so complacently, and put the other arm around my waist, rubbing it lightly.
"Do you think that Qiao Yu didn't know anything because he didn't say anything?" He revealed the secret slowly, "He is as careful as dust. How could he not notice that your menstruation is so many days late?"
Qiao Yu, oh Qiao Yu... so you know everything, I've tried so hard to pretend to have menstrual pain, but I haven't lied to him! If I knew it earlier, I shouldn't have tried to save trouble, and killed a few chickens to fake a few menstrual events!
I buried my head and gritted my teeth, and secretly raised my eyes to Tao Qing—the latter still had a smile in his eyes.
I opened and closed my mouth a few times, still hesitating, and asked: "Do you mind..." I used to think hard about who the father of this child would be... I couldn't sleep all night, and my hair fell out …
Tao Qing embraced me with both hands, holding me tightly in his arms. "Do you mind if it's useful?" He chuckled, "I decided in my heart that this is our child, and this is enough. It's hard to imagine, what kind of rogue and sloppy temper you will teach the child, I'm not around to watch I'm always worried..." My breath was stagnant, and I grabbed his shirt tightly, my voice trembling with my heart: "Second brother, you..."
He continued on his own: "I wanted to take you away. This palace is full of filth and filth, which is not suitable for children to grow up. But since you have decided to take over this country and take on your own responsibilities, then this family, even These 90,000 miles of rivers and mountains, and now, our children—I promised you, I will protect them, and I will promise you a lifetime of happiness and well-being.”
I buried my head in front of his chest, and my heart twitched lightly—whether it was sad or moved, the heart stretched and contracted in the same way, trembling with pain.
"Second Brother..." My nose was sore, and I knocked my head on his chest, feeling the warmth and vibration from there. "I have nothing to repay, I promised with my body, and promised with my life, okay?"
He smirked and hugged me tightly. "I can't help but you can't say it. I read your poems when I was a child, and I know that you must be born to be a fool!"
ah? oh…
It dawned on me...
But if the Dragon City Flying General is here, from now on the king will not go to court early...
I sighed, smiled, rubbed my hands and put my arms around his neck. "I have decided, I will make you the general of the town house!"
Those who live in the south and the north, there are town houses that are amazing! My house is the number one house in the world!
He smiled and bit my lips lightly, "If you don't want to be an emperor, I will raise you in captivity. If you want to be an emperor, I will let you raise you in captivity, how about it?"
