She felt relieved. At this time, she needed to discuss with Yue Pengju. Zhao Deji sat upright and nodded: "Ask him to come in."
She opened the door, and Yue Pengju came in and saluted the emperor: "Pengju, there is no need to be formal. Today, let's chat casually."
Yue Pengju listened to Hua Rong briefly describe what Zhao Deji meant. Zhao Deji looked at him and felt a little nervous. He didn't know the reason for this. Since ancient times, if the king wants his minister to die, he must die. However, he is here to In front of the couple who had saved their lives many times, they could not bear the dignity and prestige of the emperor. They were afraid that Yue Pengju would not allow Hua Rong to go out as an envoy, so what should they do
Sure enough, Yue Pengju frowned and bowed deeply: "Your Majesty, it is a good thing to talk to the Jinren and welcome back the Queen Mother. However, my wife Hua Rong is no more than a weak woman. There is no sense of etiquette, justice or shame in taking someone captive. I'm afraid This time, there are many dangers, and there is no way to protect yourself. It is simply not enough to complete the task... "
He was naturally worried about Jin Wushu. Jin Wushu had always been obsessed with Hua Rong, but during the battle at sea, the two had severed their ties. If Hua Rong went to the Kingdom of Jin this time, if he fell into his hands, wouldn't he be committing suicide
Zhao Deji naturally knew what he was thinking, and hurriedly said: "This time, the team is led by the academician Yu Wenxuzhong, and there is also military protection. The confrontation between the two countries will not hurt the envoys. What's more, it is a mutual visit, so there will not be too much danger. Moreover, , I have received the report, saying that the old wolf master of the Jin Kingdom died of illness, and his younger brother is now succeeding him. The main contact person for this peace negotiation is Zong Han, not Jin Wushu... "
Hua Rong shuddered even more when she thought of Zong Han's cruelty. She heard Yue Pengju say slowly: "Your Majesty, Hua Rong is really not qualified to take on this important task. The young general is not talented. I am willing to recommend myself to replace her on the mission, even if I die..."
Yue Pengju's defeat of the Jin was a thorn in the side of the Jin Kingdom. Zhao Deji saw that he would rather take risks than his wife went. He became anxious and suddenly said: "I really need Rong'er's help. Pengju, if you are really worried Rong'er is safe and will be escorted at any time..."
Both of them were startled.
Zhao Deji's words are nothing short of excellent suggestions. If the generals on the border are secretly changed and Yue Pengju leads the army to station, on the one hand, peace talks can be carried out, and on the other hand, the deployment is strengthened. With Yue Pengju's reputation, the Jin people can still be suppressed and they don't dare to be too rampant. .
Zhao Deji was overjoyed when he saw the two of them falling in love. He took out a token and handed it to Yue Pengju: "That's it, it's decided. Pengju, I order you to lead the army to the northeast of Huaihe River to engage in..."
"Thank you, Your Majesty for your grace."
In this way, Xiangyang's backbone battlefield against the Jin Kingdom was pushed to the forefront of preparations for war with the Jin Kingdom. This was originally Yue Pengju's ideal, to fight Jin Dynasty decisively and regain the two rivers.
By this time, the two of them could no longer refuse. Hua Rong looked at Yue Pengju. The two exchanged glances before Hua Rong saluted: "Hua Rong will do his best."
Seeing that the two finally agreed, Zhao Deji was very happy. He laughed and drank the cup of tea in his hand: "I'm a little hungry, Rong'er. I'll have a meal with you at noon today. I'll also try Rong'er's tea." Craftsmanship…”
Only then did the two of them remember that they had not eaten yet, and hurriedly arranged for the emperor to eat.
Because the food was not enough, Hua Rong temporarily added a few more dishes and asked the kitchen to send some cured meats and sliced beef and pork, filling the table.
Zhao Deji sat in the middle, but when he saw these ordinary side dishes, although they were not as exquisite as those in the palace, when he touched them with chopsticks, he felt that they had a different flavor.
He saw Hua Rong carefully serving rice and handing it to Yue Pengju. Her words and deeds were so gentle and quiet. Then he casually glanced at Yue Pengju holding the rice bowl, and then he realized so deeply that Rong'er was really Yue Pengju's wife. !
He had his first concubine when he was 14 years old. Since then, he has had three wives and four concubines. He has never lived such a monogamous life, but when the two people met each other, they had that silent communication and casual smile. , as if everything was unspoken.
Raising the case to raise eyebrows, is this what you're talking about
Suddenly he thought of the many beauties and concubines in his palace, who were scheming and jealous all day long, and even more inadvertently, he thought of the obstacles he faced during sex. How could he still eat this meal
He hurriedly put down his rice bowl and stood up. Both Yue Pengju and Hua Rong were very surprised: "Your Majesty, this food is not to your liking..."
He shook his head and said hastily: "I suddenly feel unwell and need to go back immediately..."
Naturally, the two of them did not dare to ask about the emperor's whereabouts. He said he wanted to leave, and Xu Caizhi and others immediately prepared horses to escort him. Outside, there was also a group of his selected guards, and in front, there was a group of five thousand people. Guards.
The two sent him out. Zhao Deji looked very reluctant, with a hint of pain: "Rong'er, you must be careful during this trip. Yu Wenxuzhong will fully assist you."
"Rong'er will definitely fulfill his mission."
He just smiled, turned around and left.
After taking a few steps, he suddenly turned around and saw Yue Pengju and Hua Rong still standing there. At this time, another storm was coming. Hua Rong held Yue Pengju's hand tightly, and her petite body clung to him. Such a look , it’s even more of an eyesore—Yue Pengju, when did that little kid back then become so majestic and arrogant? So strong and upright, like a steel frame.
Even Hua Rong’s charming face and watery brows after being moistened by rain and dew!
Rain and dew!
Why can't I get rid of the rain and dew
Thinking of this, a great feeling of pain and humiliation suddenly arose in my heart. Suddenly I felt hot under my body. I could no longer bear the pain and suffering, so I ran away.
Xu Caizhi and others didn't know why the officials were suddenly anxious, so they immediately chased him out.
Immediately, in accordance with the emperor's order, Yue Pengju led a small group of light cavalry to secretly detour northward and exchange secretly with the local garrison generals.
Going all the way north, it was already the beginning of spring in the south, but the north was still a land of ice and snow.
Reining his horse at the border garrison, Hua Rong's hands and feet were almost stiff.
Yue Pengju dismounted first, hugged her, and lifted her off the horse. She smiled in his arms and said, "Pengju, I can do it myself."
"But when I am by your side, I will try my best to take care of you."
When she heard these words, she suddenly felt sad and remained silent. She didn't know the good or bad luck of going to the Kingdom of Jin. Although the husband and wife were always together, she didn't know why, but she was more worried about him than herself. There is always a vague uneasiness in my heart, as if Yue Pengju always has an unspeakable unlucky feeling when he comes here.
The small town where the army is stationed is called Elong Town. It is sparsely populated and has a long-term bitter cold on the border. The veterans stationed there are in their fifties and sixties and are not allowed to return home. The beacon tower has long been in disrepair and is deserted.
When the guard got the token and saw someone exchanging it, he was naturally overjoyed. He packed up his simple luggage and left with the guard that night.
The "mansion" is just a stone house, very simple. In the middle room, there is a burning charcoal, and above it is an earthen kang commonly used by the locals.
Hua Rong and Yue Pengju had never stayed on the Kang. Now that they were in this bitter cold place, they ate a simple meal and removed the small table on the Kang. They found that the Kang was already very warm.
Both of them found it novel, the scalding warmth dispelled the coldness of the foreign land, and they cuddled tightly together, letting the north wind howl outside.
After a long time, Yue Pengju said: "Tomorrow I will send you to Sanhezi to meet Master Yuwen and his party."
"Um."
Yu Wenxuzhong and others led the team to set off from the capital first. Before leaving, they had sent someone to notify them to meet at Sanhezi on the border of the Kingdom of Jin. Yesterday, Yue Pengju had received news that Yu Wenxuzhong and his team had arrived, and they were just waiting for Hua Rong. .
"Sister, I will send Zhang Xian to go with you tomorrow."
She hesitated and said: "Zhang Xian is your right and left arm. The border is no better than Xiangyang now. You also need capable people around you. And since I am in the envoy group, Liang Jin will not take any excessive measures."
Yue Pengju shook his head, feeling a little heavy: "Those people may not be reliable. Zhang Xian will always find ways to adapt to changes, and he can notify me in time if there is any situation."
When she was in crisis several times, Yue Pengju stayed with Zhang Xian to take care of her. On this trip north, Zhang Xian's wife and two daughters stayed in Xiangyang and did not come together.
Seeing Yue Pengju's insistence, she did not refuse and smiled: "To be honest, I do feel a little uneasy. It's better if Zhang Xian is here."
He hugged her tightly, and at this moment, he suddenly felt very emotional in his heart: "When I was a soldier, I always wanted to be a general. Now that I have become a Xuanfu envoy and a commander-in-chief, Fang Jueren sometimes takes on important responsibilities. I can’t help but..."
She heard the melancholy in his voice and smiled: "What's the matter? Pengju?"
"Just like now, I don't want you to go to the Kingdom of Jin at all, but there is no way... I don't want to be separated from you, not at all..."
Heroes are short of breath, but love for children is long. He didn't know the reason, but suddenly and strongly wanted to give up everything, even if he was not galloping around, not commanding thousands of troops, and he didn't want to make great achievements, he was just an ordinary person, just an ordinary farmer, and worked at sunrise. Rest at sunset, and live an ordinary life with my wife.
She smiled sweetly and snuggled into his arms: "We will never separate! Pengju, do you know? If you had not come with me this time, I would really resist the order!"
Selfish, who is not selfish
Even for the sake of "the dignity of the Queen Mother", she was unwilling to leave her husband.
And if he could not "cross the border", he would not allow his wife to take risks.
The two held hands tightly, and Hua Rong laughed again: "Hey, people say that loyal ministers and filial sons, Peng Ju, are we not loyal ministers enough?"
He shook his head, not knowing how to define this word! However, don't loyal ministers need to care about their wives at all
"If I have to choose between a loyal minister and a wife, then I will choose you!"
She looked at him in surprise, suddenly became very angry, buried herself in his chest, and started giggling.
Her warm cheek pressed against his chest, and her body was as hot as her soul, so hot that her chest seemed to burst. He smiled, eagerly, and gently took off her underwear. At this time, under the dim oil lamp , her body turned into a crystal pink color because of the heat of the kang, so beautiful.
She blushed and was lost for a moment. A woman had such fun. However, from now on, she is so far away and she can't see Pengju. Wouldn't she have to delay such happiness for a long time
He hugged her gently and said softly: "When tomorrow comes, don't be afraid of anything. I'll be here."
"Well, I'm not afraid." Seeing his worried look, she suddenly said, "Pengju, you can't just miss me. This is the border. Something may happen at any time. You have to be more careful."
"Don't worry, I have already made arrangements."
Only then did Hua Rong really feel relieved and lay on his arm. That night, although the two of them were in a foreign land for the first time, because they were together, as long as they were together, they would feel at home wherever they were. Not used to it, he fell into a deep sleep.
