Since Qin Yining became pregnant, Pang Xiao has been happy every day as if during the New Year. In addition, Tao Jun also intends to keep Pang Xiao, and wants to slow down his pace of returning to Beijing. He arranges banquets every day, and Pang Xiao's life is even more dashing.
Pang Xiao and Long Xiangjun's brothers had a small gathering, naturally they would not invite Yi Binghu.
Whenever Yi Binghu heard that Pang Xiao had been drinking with someone again, or that he had been complimented with someone, he felt uncomfortable as if he had cat's claws.
It is clear that this person has already committed a serious crime of treason, why can he still live so proudly, his daughter-in-law is pregnant, and the people around him respect him so much, even the voices of the people are getting louder and louder.
But he came with an order, but he was left aside like dried vegetables. Not to mention that the people in the Longchong Army ignored him, even the people in the Gyeonggi camp he brought with him refused to listen to his orders. When I met him, I was never as respectful as when I met Pang Xiao.
Yi Binghu felt that life was like a year.
If Pang Xiao was allowed to continue at ease, he wondered whether the Sage would take his anger on him after returning to Beijing. Although the will of the Holy Spirit is up and down, it is not uncommon for them to be enraged if they do not act in accordance with the will of the Holy Spirit.
Compared with Yi Binghu's torment, Qin Yining's life was unprecedentedly comfortable.
In addition to going to the banquet, Pang Xiao spent the rest of the time by her side, serving tea and water, pinching his shoulders and beating his legs, feeding water and food, even Chu Gong wanted to hold her, but she was kicked aside with a blushing face. .
Although Qin Yining lost her appetite every day and was often nauseated, she was very happy to be cared for by Pang Xiao so carefully.
This day, Pang Xiao said goodbye to Tao Jun again: "I really have to go, it's almost spring, and the journey on the road will be slower. It is estimated that it is almost summer when I return to the capital, and it has been delayed for too long. Not good to explain."
After getting along for nearly a month, Tao Jun also saw Pang Xiao's determination to return to Beijing, and it was not the same thing to always drag Pang Xiao here. For Yi Binghu, the sugar is not sweet and vinegar must be sour. , If you really ask him to file a lawsuit, it will be difficult to handle then.
Thinking of this, Tao Jun could only sigh and say, "Your Highness must be careful this time. I am at the border to hear the good news from Your Highness."
Pang Xiao nodded with a smile, patted Tao Jun's shoulder and said, "Thank you for your kindness, thank you for taking care of you these days."
"Where is it? The lord is Bi Shang's good friend and the god of war worshipped by his brothers. What I do is nothing. I can't be thankful for the lord. If there is a chance to get together again in the future, I will have to get drunk again."
Pang Xiao nodded with a smile, and said seriously, "Okay, we'll be getting together someday."
Pang Xiao went back to arrange the departure, and the people were busy packing their luggage.
As soon as there was movement here, Yi Binghu finally breathed a sigh of relief. I secretly thought about the next Tianshu Pass and Tianmen Pass, but Pang Xiao must not be allowed to delay like this, otherwise the road back to the capital would not be completed in a year.
However, Yi Binghu's worries were unnecessary. Pang Xiao had no intention of delaying the time, nor would he deliberately delay the next journey. Although the guards of Tianshu Pass and Tianmen Pass were still very kind to Pang Xiao, Pang Xiao only stayed for a day or two before setting off again.
Seeing that the four border gates have passed, and the next road is smooth, getting closer and closer to the capital, Yi Binghu can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Anyway, the closer they are to the capital, the more people they have, and the more difficult it is for Pang Xiao to do something wrong.
A smile finally appeared on Yi Binghu's face, which had been stretched for a month.
However, after a few days of laughing, he couldn't laugh anymore.
Because of the will of the sage, Yi Binghu was instructed to be patient with Pang Xiao, and to allow Pang Xiao to return to the capital with the ceremonial guard, and all the people along the way knew the news that Prince Zhongshun brought the princess back to Beijing.
The princess killed the former khan of the Tartars. Wang Ye is also a heroic figure that shakes the world. The people highly respected their husband and wife. In addition, Li Qitian had previously announced to the world that Pang Xiao had committed treason and had defected to the Tartars. Now he appears in front of people with his concubine, and what he does is still the guard of honor of the prince. It was very thought provoking.
The people discussed it, and the readers also discussed it.
In the end, the comments were divided into two groups. One group felt that Pang Xiao made great contributions to Da Zhou, and the princess killed the Tatar Khan. It was rumored that there must be someone who was treasonous and that the sage should severely punish those who spread rumors. Another group of people thinks that the sage must be afraid of the military exploits of Prince Zhongshun, so he will create rumors, and people can't help but think of the incident of Pang Zhongzheng.
Of course, no one dared to say the second remark aloud, usually a group of people whispered in secret. But this kind of speculation is even more recognized in the heart because it involves royal secrets.
Pang Xiao naturally noticed some people spreading these remarks along the way, but he didn't take it to heart. His mind was already occupied by Qin Yining at this time.
I don't know if it was because her body was too weak, or it was because she was too tossed when she was tired. Qin Yining had been uncomfortable since she got in the car. The nausea and vomiting became more and more intense with the bumps of the journey. If the road conditions were smoother, it would be fine. , but sometimes the road is bumpy, the map is uneven, the carriage is extremely bumpy, Qin Yining vomits almost everything he eats, and finally Pang Xiao looks distressed. Ride with him in front of you.
Yi Binghu was in a hurry along the way. But urging or not has no effect at all. The speed of the march depends on whether the princess is comfortable. As a result, Yi Binghu even felt that the journey would be delayed until the end of the year to reach the capital.
—
The Hu Ben army camp, 700 miles outside the capital, has almost become a landscape here. The continuous military barracks are built along the mountains, and a team of 100,000 people is stationed here, forming a town.
In the tent of the Chinese army in the Huben army camp, Ji Zeyu, wearing a flaming red collar and a cloak, was standing in front of a large map and folded his arms in contemplation.
On the map, it is obvious that the four passes in the north and the terrain of the Tatar border. As detailed as mountains, rivers, and even a forest on it, it can be seen that Ji Zeyu has guarded the northern border for many years and has an understanding of the border.
The big eunuch Li Guanwen frowned and bowed, and had been standing behind Ji Zeyu for almost an incense stick.
When he arrived, Ji Zeyu kept this posture motionless.
He passed on the question from the sage, and Ji Zeyu didn't seem to hear it.
Li Guanwen couldn't help but wonder if Consort Ji was thinking about the big issue of marching and fighting, so he didn't hear his voice at all
Li Guanwen hesitated and wanted to ask again, but he was afraid of interrupting Consort Ji's thoughts. Standing bored, he tilted his neck to peep at the map, but Li Guanwen was active every day on the one-third of an acre within the palace wall. After looking at it for a long time, I didn't understand where the map was.
Li Guanwen had no choice but to wait patiently, thinking that people who practice martial arts are not particularly sensitive to the food around them, maybe the concubine Ji will find a big living person standing behind him after a while.
So wait, it's tea time again.
Li Guanwen finally became impatient.
He is a celebrity in front of the saint, and he will be flattered most of the time when he walks outside. There are not many times when he is left hanging like now. Although Ji Zeyu is now the head coach of the Hu Ben Army and is still the consort, he is also sent by the sage to spread the word. Treating him like this is equivalent to being indifferent to the sage.
Thinking of this, Li Guanwen coughed, but he didn't dare to startle people, so he asked the words just now in a soft voice: "Ji Consort, what the sage means is, how much do you control the Hu Ben army now? To what extent? You tell the slave maid that the slave maid will go back to the Sage, so that the Sage will be at ease."
Ji Zeyu did not answer, but still looked at the map.
Li Guanwen didn't get a response, and his heart seemed to grow grass, anxious, irritable, and unhappy that he was being neglected.
"Concubine Ji? The slaves came up on behalf of the sage to ask you how much you have mastered the Hu Ben army."
Still no answer.
Li Guanwen almost suspected that Ji Zeyu was about to stand like a statue.
Just when Li Guanwen was irritated and wanted to ask again, Ji Zeyu suddenly turned around and looked at Li Guanwen coldly with a pair of clear peach eyes.
The coldness in his eyes almost froze Li Guanwen's whole body. Even though he was wearing a fiery red, the scorching red made him look like a sculpture of ice and snow.
Li Guanwen was stunned for a moment, then shivered all over.
At the same time, Ji Zeyu said coldly, "come here."
"Yes."
Outside the account, they hurried into a team of ten, and saluted in unison, "Marshal!"
Ji Zeyu pointed at Li Guanwen with his fair and slender fingers, "One hundred large boards. Drag it down."
"Yes!" The person who came here responded immediately, grabbing Li Guanwen and dragging him out without saying a word.
The rhinoceros handle and whisk in Li Guanwen's frightened hands fell off, the hat was tilted, and his voice sharply said: "What does the concubine Ji mean! The slaves are here on an order. Do you have any objection for treating slaves like this? "
Even though Li Guanwen shouted like this, the people who dragged him still didn't have the slightest ambiguity, so they dragged him out of the tent so hard.
Li Guanwen thought in his heart: It's over, it's over, why is it so unlucky that I ran into the concubine Ji and wanted to rebel! Holy lord, this servant made a rafter for you, you can kill the servant!
Under the pull, Li Guanwen was so frightened that tears fell.
Unexpectedly, just when someone raised the curtain and was about to take Li Guanwen down, Ji Zeyu suddenly said, "Let go of him, you all go down."
The ten people felt a little strange, but they didn't question it. Qi Qi's salute should be "yes", and they lined up in a neat line to retreat.
Ji Zeyu and Li Guanwen were left in the tent.
Ji Zeyu said lightly: "Do you understand?"
Li Guanwen sat paralyzed on the ground, gasping for breath, his face was a bit whiter than white paper. The brain, which had stopped spinning just now, was frightened and regained its ability to think.
"The concubine Ji's meaning, the slaves understand."
