The howl of the wolf was like a sound wave from a movie special effect, rippling across the snow-white sky and earth. The entire small mountain village had just experienced the fright of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty and was already trembling to the ground.
The howl of the wolf suddenly sounded above the mountain village, causing the small mountain village to feel inexplicably nervous.
Bai Chun quickly turned her head while holding two fish baskets, and saw the black shadow of a calf running up to her. Its scarlet tongue, and the hot steam coming from its big mouth, with a hint of fishy smell, rushed towards her. come over.
Quickly throwing away the two fish baskets in his hands, Bai Chun tried his best to push away the huge wolf head and said with all his strength: "Don't come near me, I'll stink you to death."
"Ouch..." Bai Qi seemed dissatisfied with Bai Chun's pushing. After howling, he was picked up by his ears and carried away by Li Hong, who approached from a short distance away.
"Excuse me. Did this idiot Bai Qi take you all the way from the mountains?" Lawless, Mang Zhong, Jingzhe, Hua Meng, Cheetah and Captain Tu Qi all looked at Li Hong with excited expressions and were about to The salute was stopped by Li Hong.
After several conversations, everyone looked at Li Hong curiously, but did not see the poem Bai Qi brought.
"Didn't you see it?" Li Hong looked at Bai Qi and asked in surprise.
Bai Qi raised his dazed head, looked at Li Hong, then swayed and ran into the wooden house behind him. He found that there were a lot of game here, and it was also delicious game!
Pei Xingjian also frowned and said thoughtfully: "I have never seen that poem."
Bai Chun pulled Bai Qi's tail to prevent him from getting in again and said with great effort: "It's a pity that Bai Qi can't speak. Otherwise, we would know whether the poem was lost when it walked through the forest, or It's possible that Hai Dongqing took it away." Bai Chun hugged Bai Qi's huge head and joked subconsciously.
After all, it's not like Bai Qi has never been robbed by Hai Dongqing. Often, the meat he just picked up in his mouth is robbed by a black shadow in the sky before he can bite it.
The sea turtle will look like a crow in the sky, grabbing the meat with an iron claw, and then croaking in its mouth to show off.
When Bai Qi heard Bai Chun mention Hai Dongqing, he immediately raised his wolf head and howled at the sky.
Bai Chun looked at Bai Qi's cute appearance and loved him. He praised Bai Qi for being sensible.
Li Hong looked at Bai Qi thoughtfully and murmured, "Don't tell me that poem was really taken away by that flat-haired beast."
"Ouch..." Bai Qi roared upwards to the sky, and there seemed to be a trace of dissatisfaction and grievance in his roar.
Li Hong looked at Pei Xingjian with an ugly expression, then looked at Lawless and the others, and said slowly: "It can't really be such a coincidence, right?"
"Your Highness, isn't it a good thing to be taken away by Hai Dongqing like this?" Pei Xingjian said with relief.
If, according to the prince's guess, it was Hai Dongqing who snatched the poem and returned it to the palace, wouldn't this be a good way to reassure the queen and his majesty that they were safe and put their minds at ease
More importantly, in this way, wouldn't it be possible to make the small group of voices in the court who want to establish Crown Prince Pei disappear
"It feels like a good thing, but it's not necessarily a good thing. The queen mother and the father... I'm afraid that Thunder is furious at this moment. Forget it, let's not talk about this. The matter is over. Let's order all the soldiers to go into the forest to cut down trees. "Trees, prepare to build a simple school," Li Hong said as he stood up from the small wooden bench.
Facing the confused looks of several people, Li Hong motioned to Bai Chun to explain to them.
As for the location of the school, Li Hong and Bai Chun had nothing to do these days, walking in the snow and looking for plum blossoms, and they had already chosen it.
After the snow stopped, the villagers were encouraged to build together. But now that there is a more efficient labor force, it would be too wasteful to leave it unused.
After having someone under his command, he and Bai Chun naturally did not need to do anything personally. Bai Chun looked over and over the numbers that had been compiled during the snowy days, and then asked Mang Zhong to find Nian in the mountain village. Several prestigious old people consulted whether they could build a school in the chosen place.
As for the others, they were naturally led up the mountain by Lawless and others to cut down trees. With three thousand soldiers five miles away, plus the two hundred advance guards who now surrounded Li Hong and Bai Chun's "home", they could build a simple school in a very short period of time.
Rows of villagers lying on the wall, watching secretly, thought that these officials would kidnap the young couple away.
But since those people arrived, nothing happened that they expected. Instead, they looked at the people outside the mountain and seemed to be very respectful to the two new villagers, as if they were facing several people in the village. Like a prestigious old man, his attitude is pious and respectful.
The black wolf roared loudly and shook the whole village. It was as big as the only old ox in the mountain village. Ever since he arrived, he had been very close to the fairy-like woman and refused to go anywhere. Just keep following one side.
A gray head shook his head on the low wall and sighed: "Do you see it? This is a fairy. That wolf must be the fairy's mount. These people are more like heavenly soldiers and generals. Our village Ah, maybe you will be lucky."
"Grandpa, are you saying that the two people living in our village are immortals?"
"Isn't that right? Just look at that beautiful fairy. Whose daughter can compare to this? It must be a boy and girl who came down to earth and came to our village."
"But... where is the female fairy's husband? If he is a fairy, will he scare us with his black crossbow? With the bandits... who let Er Niu learn from him?" The word "bandit" was suppressed under the glare of the old man. Going back, Nuonuo said.
"That's right, it looks like a virgin and a fairy, but that man... doesn't look like a fairy at all."
Naturally, Li Hong couldn't hear the whispers of these people, let alone what would he do if he heard them
At this moment, he and Pei Xingjian were walking along the stream. Wei Tuqi's eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes, and he led ten personal guards, as well as Hua Meng, Jingzhe, and Cheetah, following closely behind.
No matter what Li Hong ordered, these people shook their heads like rattles and were unwilling to leave Li Hong's side again.
Being attacked this time and obeying His Highness the Crown Prince's arrangements has taught them a lesson.
At this moment, not only was he, Li Hong, but also beside Bai Chun, besides a wolf, there were also twenty soldiers, following her wherever she went, protecting her every step of the way.
Li Hong glanced impatiently at the people ten steps behind him, and shook his head speechlessly. Just a few days after the clean days, the days of hugging each other will begin again.
However, he also understood the caution of Wei Tuqi and others. This time, they were probably scared out of their wits. If they were to do it again, it might be easier to kill them.
No longer paying attention to the tail behind him, he and Pei Xingjian stepped slowly on the soft snow. There was a crunching sound under their feet, and the sound of the snow being squeezed: "When is the wedding date of the sixth child? Has the date been decided?"
He has not been in Chang'an for nearly a year, so it is naturally impossible for him to know the date of Li Xian's wedding.
"Your Highness, I have something I don't know whether to say or not." Pei Xingjian looked seriously, staring at the white snow at his feet, and said in a deep voice.
"About Lao Liu?" Li Hong asked, tilting his head.
"Yes, it's about King Pei."
"Say it." Li Hong glanced into the distance, he had to face what he had to face.
Pei Xingjian cleared his throat, collected his thoughts, and continued in a deep voice: "Does Your Highness really intend to arrange the wedding of King Pei? In my opinion, King Pei does not care about brotherhood at all and is always in trouble with Your Highness, but Your Highness is... Be tolerant at all times. If this continues, I am afraid that many ministers in the court will have opinions about this matter. Even if the ministers do not investigate carefully, they will all know that this is what King Pei did. Now King Pei is eager to deal with you. The purpose and ambition of the previous wedding were self-evident. If Your Highness continues to be so tolerant, even if I understand His Highness's painstaking efforts, other ministers may not be able to understand His Highness's painstaking efforts in brotherly friendship. "
"So what do you think?" Li Hong did not answer immediately, but asked with a sigh.
"Prevent King Pei from getting married, and then report the full extent of King Pei's crimes to His Majesty and the Queen. The officials will also ask Your Majesty to report the crime to King Pei according to the law. You are the Tang Dynasty that Your Majesty and the Queen are optimistic about and fully support. Crown Prince, Prince of the East Palace, your civil and military achievements over the years have been seen by all, whether in the court, the common people, or in the eyes of your majesty and queen. I, the Tang Dynasty, want to continue for hundreds of years..."
"Stop, stop, stop saying polite words, say something practical. These polite words are not what you should say. Who taught you?" Li Hong smiled and interrupted Pei Xingjian.
"No one has ever taught me to say this. I am speaking from the bottom of my heart. Today, the Tang Dynasty is prosperous and prosperous. Only you can ensure that the Tang Dynasty continues to prosper and prosper. These are not only my opinions, but also the opinions of all the civil and military officials in the court." Therefore, I request Your Highness, for the sake of the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and for the peace of mind of our ministers in the court, please support me and others to jointly report to Your Majesty that King Pei be deposed as a commoner and exiled for three thousand miles!" Pei Xingjian was a man of both civil and military skills. At this moment, he lacked the elegance and became more fierce and ruthless.
Li Hong said nothing, looking at the bend of the stream. After four nights and three days of heavy snow, the trickling water had not frozen on the ice. He couldn't help but think in his heart: "Historically, when the queen mother ascended the throne and became the emperor, , is she also facing the same problem? After reaching the peak of power, is it no longer up to her to have the final say on many things, but just like the situation she faces now, she surrenders to her own ministers and forces? , the group, like a torrent, starts to actively push you from behind, forcing you to move on? "
