Chapter 2 Wu Gou (Sixth Level) The originally lively atmosphere in the room instantly became a bit depressing, especially after Li Xu relayed Pan Zhanyang's warning. Qin Shubao, Luo Shixin and others' faces were as gloomy as water, and almost every pair of eyes was full of anger.
There has to be a fire
"It's a good thing that our Sui Dynasty has always treated these unfamiliar bitches as brothers!" Captain Zhang Jiang scolded while slapping the table, causing the wine on the table to fly everywhere. "Those high-ranking officials in the court are even more bastards."
Damn, since someone has already issued a warning, even if they don’t believe it, they should send someone to investigate, how can they take risks with His Majesty!”
"I'm afraid, this matter is most likely His Majesty's suggestion!" Wu Yulin had a deep understanding of the officialdom, and his words were to the point. "Once His Majesty makes a decision, it will be difficult for officials to go against him. Moreover, the Khitan people's warnings
, it may not be groundless!”
When it comes to the various ethnic groups outside the Sui Dynasty, his opinions are far less accurate than his evaluation of the internal official system of the Sui Dynasty. “A few years ago, those Turkic people were invited to visit us as distinguished guests in the Central Plains, and they took care of their food and housing.
The two sides should be more harmonious. How could they see something happened in Sui Dynasty and take the opportunity to bully them?"
As an out-and-out Central Plains person, Wu Yulin likes to use the ways of the Central Plains people to speculate on foreign nationalities. This is one of the reasons why the Sui Dynasty court misjudged the warning signal from the border. The Central Plains people pay attention to courtesy and tolerance.
The impoliteness of distant visitors, so they like to wishfully extend this way of communication between people to the country, but they don’t know that the customs and habits of those people outside the region are actually very different from those in the Central Plains.
"They believe in wolves!" Seeing the eyes of several friends turning to him, Xuzi thought for a moment and answered very seriously. Among all the people present, he was the only one who had been outside the Great Wall and had the most say, "Turks
They regard wolves as sacred objects, so they also respect the strong in the way they interact with people. The less you know how to bargain with them, the more they will think you are weak and can be bullied. Once you show that you can hurt him, they will regard you as weak.
You are a friend!”
Wolves can only live in peace with creatures that have the same fangs as themselves. When they encounter deer and sheep, they will definitely eat them without caring about the other party's attitude. In the eyes of the Turks, the Sui Dynasty at this moment happens to be a winning animal.
A weak fat sheep, although he has been trying to create the illusion of the coming of all nations, but because it does not have enough damage, the Turks who believe in wolves are very happy to rush over and take a big bite.
After listening to Xu Zi's words, everyone here was hesitant. They didn't know what they should do. Everyone's position was not too low, but Yu Chaozhong's influence was not enough to influence any major decisions. Even the most trusted person by Yang Guang
Asahi, if she recklessly blocks the car heading north at this time, she will probably be dismissed from her job.
"It's obviously too late to warn the court now. Besides, if we write a memorial without enough evidence, Lord Pei Ju may not be willing to send it to His Majesty." After a moment of silence, Wu Yulin analyzed in a low voice, "Besides, our task is mainly to deal with Wa
The imperial court will not allow us to do anything distracted until the Gangjun and Wagang bandits are wiped out!"
Since the third expedition to the Liao Dynasty failed, His Majesty the Emperor has become slack in political affairs. Now, half of the Sui Dynasty's government decrees are from the hands of Pei Ju and Yu Shiji. The memorials submitted by hundreds of officials are also reviewed by these two people first.
According to what Eunuch Wu who came to deliver the order last time said, Pei and Yu now even dare to bully Su Wei, a veteran of the two dynasties, and others rush to give advice, which has no effect.
"Alas!" Qin Shubao sighed, picked up the wine bowl in front of him, and drank it in one gulp.
"Oh! Mind your immediate affairs, I hope the Turks are not as bad as Xuzi thought." Luo Shixin's wine cup was already empty, but he poured the empty cup into his mouth without realizing it, sighing in agreement.
In the past few years, everyone has become more and more official, and they have learned more and more about the inside story of the court. As a result, the future has become more and more uncertain. How long can such a court last? Where is the way out for everyone? What will we do in the future? State affairs, family affairs
, each problem is troubling. Sometimes state affairs are family affairs, especially for local military commanders like them who have not yet formed their own family. The Great Sui Dynasty is their foundation. If the Great Sui Dynasty falls, there will be no skin left.
How will Mao be overturned?!
"Everyone, don't be too depressed. When General Zhang arrives, he might have some good ideas!" Wu Yulin picked up a cold dish with chopsticks, put it in his mouth and tasted it slowly. He didn't know what to do.
When making decisions, refer to the person you trust most. In his opinion, it is definitely not a bad idea.
"It has to be like this!" Xuzi filled everyone's cups with fine wine and said with some apology that the food on the table was cooked by Qier himself. No matter what happens outside, he should not be spoiled.
Picking up a piece of shepherd's purse with chopsticks and chewing it carefully, the light bitterness and lingering fragrance after the bitterness rushed to the tip of the tongue, as if it were the life in front of me.
"Isn't General Zhang just following General Qin? Why haven't we arrived yet?" Luo Shixin was impatient. Hearing that everyone chose to follow Zhang Xutuo's lead, he was eager to get the solution to the problem from the boss's mouth right away.
"He took the baggage with him and set off after dawn. It is estimated that he will arrive around late afternoon!" Qin Shubao thought for a while and answered.
"Will you encounter any trouble on the way?" Captain Zhang Jiang stopped his chopsticks reaching for the food and asked with a bit of hope, "I'm not cursing the old general, there are many tricks among the Wagang thieves!" His expression suddenly became a little uncomfortable.
Comfortable, murmuring explanation
"You can rest assured on this, the Wagang thieves will suffer a lot in your hands! When I came in the morning, I sent scouts to look around, but I didn't find anything unusual. Both groups of thieves retreated very quickly, in a panic!
"Qin Shubao smiled and answered very confidently.
Suddenly, the confident smile on his face turned into hesitation, "It stands to reason that the troops led by Xu Maogong did not suffer any losses, so why did they panic? No, there must be something fishy here!"
"Are they going to be detrimental to General Zhang along the way?" Luo Shixin immediately stood up and asked.
Qin Shubao shook his head and signaled Luo Shixin with his eyes not to be so impetuous, "No, the Wagang army retreated in a very embarrassed manner, and a lot of their baggage was abandoned. If they wanted to stage an ambush, the illusion would be too realistic." He put down his wine cup,
He tapped his index finger on the table, "It looks like there was a big trouble internally and I had to rush back to deal with it!"
"Li Mi is dead!" Zhang Jiang slammed the table, his crazy move startled everyone. "Li Mi is dead. Brother Zhongjian shot him with an arrow in front of the two armies, and then he was dragged away by the horse.
It's so far away, and there's a good chance he'll die!"
This idea was so bold that it made everyone breathless for a while. If Li Mi died, the Wagang Army would indeed retreat in panic as Qin Shubao described, but this is almost impossible. Li Mi's body and bones can be seen at a glance.
If someone is skilled in martial arts, being dragged by a war horse for dozens of steps would hardly kill him.
"If you don't die, you are seriously injured, otherwise the shock to the Wagang Army would never be so great!" Qin Shubao concluded with a smile, and then raised a cup and suggested, "For Li Mi's death, do it!"
"Do it, for Li Mi's death!" The atmosphere in the room finally became lively again, and the aroma of wine covered up the faint melancholy.
After drinking and eating, Qin Shubao and others took the initiative to find a new home for him regardless of Xuzi's refusal. However, Xuzi himself was ordered to stay at home and say goodbye to his "brothers and sisters" who had traveled thousands of miles to look for their husbands.
"Actually, I just met her," Xuzi muttered in his heart, but did not dare to tell the truth. He walked toward the inner hall, stroking his nose that was almost hit by the door. The wine he drank today was a bit high, and he felt that his head was
A little dizzy, but my eyes are getting brighter and brighter
It was useless to worry about things that he could not do anything about. He comforted himself deep in his heart. At the same time, he gently pushed open the ajar door with his hand and fell asleep again. His face was looking out of the bed through the gauze curtain.
Her sleeping posture is very pleasant, like a fish suspended in the water
Cui'er sat on the stool next to the desk, with her arms propped under her head, and she was sleeping soundly. The two girls had just reached the age of sleepiness, so they were not disturbed by Xuzi's footsteps from their sweet dreams.
There was a moment when she woke up, and her body moved, as if she had been frightened, but she soon calmed down again, forming a beautiful picture.
"They have suffered so much because of me, so I must protect them!" Xuzi stood beside Zhen'er's bed, silently warning herself that among them, including Erya obviously, "if
Troubled times are destined to come, but at least I can protect the people around me!" He quietly moved another stool and placed it beside the bed. He sat firmly and silently admired the wind and frost on Zhe'er's face that was not commensurate with her age.
Those winds and frosts were also dyed for him. If he had followed the arrangements of his family, maybe at this moment, Qi'er would be peacefully swinging on the swing in his back garden. Thinking of the brilliant laughter in the sun, Xu Zi couldn't help but feel warm, and stretched out his hand to pull away.
bed curtain, gently lowered his head
"Master, the guest has left?" At this moment, Cui'er's voice suddenly sounded from behind, and Xuzi almost stretched his neck in fright. He quickly put away his tight lips and turned around, and saw several words on his face.
The imprinted Cui Er is staring at her every move with her eyes wide open in surprise.
Suddenly, Cui'er understood what her master was planning to do, and she jumped out of the door like a deer. "I'll clean up the dishes!" She explained loudly as she ran away.
"This weird little girl!" Xuzi smiled happily and turned his eyes away from the door. With the arrival of the master and servant of Zhen'er, his life was invisibly added to a lot of colors, sweet and bright. When he lowered his head again
When he went there, he found that Zhen'er had also been awakened, staring with a pair of big black eyes, as if trying to dig out the secrets in his heart.
"You..." The two of them opened their mouths at the same time, and then closed their mouths at the same time, watching each other's cheeks slowly turn red, as if there was a fire rolling on them.
"Has the guest left?" She gently closed her eyelids and asked in an extremely weak voice.
"Already gone!" Xuzi replied in a low voice, "They have been praising your cooking skills and eating all the dishes!"
"Really?" Zhen'er's eyes widened again, with a hint of unconfidence in her words.
"Really!" Xuzi nodded and encouraged in a low voice, "They said they had never eaten such delicious food and kept praising me for being lucky!"
"Well, that man, does Lang Jun like the food cooked by Qi'er?" Li Qi's face became increasingly red, and after a lot of effort, she finally said the word "Lang Jun" to other people's tastes. She didn't want to care.
But whether Xuzi appreciates it is something she is always worried about.
"Of course I like it!" Looking at Li Zhen'er's face that was so red that it was almost bleeding, Xu Zi couldn't hold it in any longer and gently came forward and touched it with her lips, saying
With just one touch, the flame almost spread to the whole body. Zhe'er's body suddenly trembled, and her neck and ears instantly turned red. "Langjun, it's fine if Langjun likes it." She closed her eyes, blinked her eyelashes up and down, and murmured like a dream.
The voice made it difficult to tell whether it was referring to the food he cooked or Li Xu's behavior just now. "Tweety, Tweety is still with us. We haven't paid homage to Weng Gu yet..."
Seeing the shy look on Zhen'er's face, Xuzi immediately realized that her behavior just now had been misunderstood. Although the little girl was brave enough to cover up the sky, she was an inexperienced child who couldn't tell the difference between love and pity.
The difference between desires did not dare to continue to burn the fire. He straightened his body slightly and said with a smile: "My parents are still in Shanggu. It is not easy to see them. But don't worry, I will find a way to make it beautiful."
If I marry you naked, no one will be able to gossip!"
"I don't care what others say!" Zhen'er's eyes tentatively opened again, looking at Li Xu's defense. She saw that the drunkenness on his face was no longer the same. In addition to panic, she felt a little disappointed in her heart. She leaned over and rubbed her head gently.
He touched Xuzi's arm and asked timidly, "Is Langjun angry? If Langjun really can't wait until Tweety has a rest tonight, I'll just go with you. It's up to you. Anyway, I've decided to take care of you."
Leave it to you myself...!"
"No, don't think too much about it. I'll go find Mr. Zhang in the afternoon and he will give us two monthly elders!" Xuzi's heart was warmed by the timid look in her eyes. She sat upright and promised loudly, "I will definitely
I will try my best to hold a wedding for you that you will never forget in your lifetime!”
He said it so solemnly that the chirping of birds outside the window instantly fell silent. In the quiet room, only the gentle breathing of the two people intertwined in their eyes. There was no longer the shyness and misunderstanding just now, only
Trust, everlasting trust
Zhen'er stretched out a hand and put it into Xuzi's calloused palm, with a peaceful smile on her face, as if she had handed over her life. Xuzi held it tightly with the hand holding the knife, steady and strong.
