Chen Ziyu's dancing posture is not charming, which is completely different from the way she has always appeared in front of Liu Ling. Whether it is the first time they meet or the second time Liu Ling designs a hero to save the beauty, Chen Ziyu is always a beauty in his eyes.
A woman so charming that she can drip with water.
This piece of Plum Blossoms No. 3 was performed by her as if she were banished from the Nine Heavens, or as proud of snow and cold plum blossoms. The smell of dust is as clean as the white clouds floating in the sky, and the character of the character is like the green pine trees on the green mountains covered with snow.
.
Liu Ling's eyes only stayed on Chen Ziyu for a moment and then lowered his eyes. He drank one cup after another, with an unconcealable apology in his eyes. He arranged for the people below to go out to find outstanding dancers and singers. Who would have thought that the people below would be there?
Today, he actually brought Chen Ziyu back. Liu Ling didn't pay attention to these things at first, but when Chen Ziyu came on stage, he suddenly felt a pain in his heart for no reason.
He didn't even dare to look at Chen Ziyu's dancing, and deliberately avoided the fiery glances Chen Ziyu threw at him from time to time. The more he acted like this, the more amused Chen Ziyu was, and his eyes were fixed on Liu Ling for a second. She
His body was spinning and twisting to the music, but his eyes were firmly locked on Liu Ling's side.
Later, Xiao Luan saw the clues. He saw a different kind of style from the dancing girl's fiery gaze, but that style was not shown for himself. Looking at the performance of the loyal king Liu Ling, he was even more sure of this.
The woman must be Liu Ling's concubine. Thinking of this, even Miaoman's dancing seemed a bit boring to him.
Isn't this loyal king cheating on me? He found his concubine to sing and dance, what else could he do if he fell in love with her again? But then he thought that maybe Liu Ling had found his concubine to keep him company just to please him, and it wasn't all about being able to be with him at the age of 18.
The tribute was reduced. Thinking that Liu Ling was willing to summon such delicate and beautiful concubines for the sake of state affairs, Xiao Luan really admired this loyal king in his heart.
In this way, it was even more difficult for him to ask for this dancer to accompany him. He still had something to ask Liu Ling for help, so why not simply return the favor to Liu Ling without revealing it himself, so as to save some face for Liu Ling. Liu Ling Yi
I am happy to send three to five thousand troops and horses to accompany them. It will not be easy to destroy the Yang Yishan bandits in the northwest mountains along the way.
Thinking of this, Xiao Luan put away his scornful expression, and the way he looked at Chen Ziyu changed, from only paying attention to Miaoman's body to appreciating the combination of music and dance. Upon hearing this, Xiao Luan was immediately attracted to the player.
The little girl playing the pipa was treated differently. Although the girl was not very old, her ten fingers were slender and white, and her flowing movements on the pipa strings made people feel relaxed and happy. What was especially rare was that this little girl was also pretty and lovely.
, it’s just that the body is still immature and has not developed.
Xiao Luan was lustful, but he had guessed the relationship between the two dancers and Liu Ling, so it was hard for him to have any dirty thoughts. He could only suppress his burning desire and watched the song and dance, and when the strings stopped playing, he deliberately
He acted very seriously and just clapped his palms twice casually.
They were originally waiting for him to say a few hints to Liu Ling, but Chen Ziyu, Jia'er, and Liu Ling, who was thinking of countermeasures, were surprised to find that Xiao Luan only applauded, but did not show any affection for Chen Ziyu at all.
Something is coveted.
Liu Ling took the opportunity to wave his hand and said: "You go down first to receive the reward."
Chen Ziyu saw Liu Ling let out a sigh of relief, smiled narrowly at Liu Ling, then turned and walked out. At this moment, she didn't know why her heart suddenly became brighter. Maybe it was because she saw from Liu Ling's eyes
It was getting tense. Even the little girl Jia'er noticed the strange atmosphere, saluted Liu Ling and followed closely behind Chen Ziyu.
Seeing the woman's smile like a March peach blossom, Xiao Luan's heart twitched. She couldn't get involved with such a woman, and she felt unwilling to accept it, and felt as if a hundred claws were scratching her heart. But since then, the woman has been so attached to Liu Ling.
Xiao Luan's smile and Liu Ling's uneasy look made Xiao Luan even more sure of his judgment.
Soon, his depression was replaced by pride.
"Your Majesty?"
Seeing that Liu Ling was a little lost, Xiao Luan called him proudly.
While he was feeling annoyed, when he heard Xiao Luan speaking, Liu Ling quickly calmed down and asked with a smile: "Is there something wrong, Mr. Xiao?"
Xiao Luan looked around and pretended to smile mysteriously. Liu Ling came to his senses and immediately waved his hand and said: "You all can go down. If I don't call you, no one should come in."
The servants immediately bowed and left. Minhui closed the door softly. Before leaving, she glanced at Chen Ziyu's back and then at Liu Ling, thoughtfully.
When Xiao Luan saw no one else around, he first expressed his position and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, Mr. Xiao still has some arbitrary power when he comes to Taiyuan this time. Your Majesty treats Xiao very well, and Dingyang Khan treats Xiao very well."
You value it, and I am grateful. Just give me the annual tribute according to last year's amount, but keep it secret. Your Majesty, please don't make it difficult for me."
Liu Ling knew that he was afraid that the news would be spread back to Youzhou and affect his career, so he smiled and said: "This is natural. Thank you Mr. Xiao for your righteousness."
Xiao Luan waved his hand and said: "We are all friends. When friends can help each other, naturally we can't hold back, right? With the relationship between the prince and me, do we still need to be polite?"
Liu Ling said: "In this case, I won't be pretentious. If Mr. Xiao will be useful to me in the future, I will naturally not shirk it."
This was what Xiao Luan was waiting for, and he immediately continued: "I do have something to ask the prince."
Hearing what he said, Liu Ling felt a sudden change in her heart. She was afraid that Xiao Luan would ask Chen Ziyu to accompany her. Liu Ling, who was originally calm, suddenly changed his expression. Xiao Luan realized that Liu Ling must have thought wrongly, so he quickly explained
He said: "That's it. Escorting Sui Gong back to Youzhou this year is different from previous years. There is no peace outside Taiyuan City. The party's cavalry may not have retreated yet. What I mean is that I would like to ask the prince to send more troops and horses to escort him. Is that feasible?"
Liu Ling secretly let out a sigh of relief and said, "This is my job, no problem."
After hearing Liu Ling's agreement, Xiao Luan said tentatively: "If this trip goes smoothly back to Youzhou, I will take this opportunity to ask your Majesty to let me serve somewhere else. You know, my lord, that it is a good idea to stay with your Majesty all day long.
It's very...dangerous. I would be more comfortable if I went to a place. Moreover, I met the prince very late. Naturally, when I'm with His Majesty, I can't easily escape and come to Taiyuan to meet the prince to reminisce. If I go to a place, especially one closer to Taiyuan,
It’s easier to travel back and forth if you work in a local area.”
Liu Ling heard the voiceover and said with a smile: "I heard that the position of governor of Dingzhou is still vacant, but the Eagle Yanglang of Liao Dynasty temporarily holds the position of Haili. With your merits, you only need to go back with
Your Majesty mentioned that I am afraid that the position of Dingzhou County Sheriff will still be secure."
Xiao Luan sighed deliberately and said: "If it is so simple, then the position of Dingzhou County Sheriff is not as easy to get as the prince thought."
Liu Ling asked: "Why?"
Xiao Luan said: "Has the prince ever heard of Yang Yishan?"
Liu Ling nodded and said with a smile: "Of course I have heard of Wanshou Gong of Zhou Dynasty."
Xiao Luan said: "This is the man who fled all the way north from the Kingdom of Zhou. Now he is in the northwest mountains less than 200 miles northwest of Dingzhou. His men have gathered three to five thousand people to cause trouble. As for Ying Yanglang, he will be in the sea.
Your Excellency also led the army to station in Dingzhou just to guard against Yang Yishan."
Liu Ling's eyes lit up and he said: "What do you mean, Sir Xiao? He wants to personally quell the banditry in Yang Yishan in the Northwest Mountains, so that General Haili will lead his troops back to Bazhou, and Sir, with his military exploits, he will become the governor of Dingzhou."
It’s a little more reliable.”
Xiao Luan excitedly held Liu Ling's hand and said: "Those who know me are loyal to the king, that's what I mean. Xiao boldly asked the prince to borrow three thousand troops, uh no! Borrowing two thousand troops, he suppressed the banditry in the northwest mountains.
I will return the soldiers and generals to the prince."
Liu Ling sneered in his heart, borrowing troops? Lend me the soldiers of the Han Dynasty to suppress the bandits and kill all the horse thieves. What if the grass thieves are not eradicated, then the horse thieves will not take revenge on my big man? Besides, the soldiers will be borrowed.
Going out to give it to you is like lending you a good knife. If you use it smoothly, will you be willing to return it?
It's just that Liu Ling had already calculated in his heart, so he didn't refuse: "No problem, your lord is very kind to the people of my court, so it's okay to lend this soldier to your lord, but..."
Xiao Luan immediately said: "If this matter comes to pass, when I go to Dingzhou to serve as the county guard, the prince's loss will be doubled. Didn't the prince always want to build a cavalry but suffer from the lack of horses? As long as I make a decision
The governor of the state will definitely send five hundred first-class horses from the grassland to the prince as soon as possible!"
Liu Ling smiled and clapped hands with Xiao Luan and said, "That's it, it's a deal!"
Chen Yuanshan, the commander of the Gyeonggi Camp, personally went to Qingzhou Prefecture to pick up grain. Ouyang Zhuan could not stop him no matter how unwilling he was. With nearly 10,000 horses and horses, Chen Yuanshan transported 150,000 stones of grain and grass to Taiyuan Prefecture. After another two days of preparation,
After all other items were sorted, Xiao Luan escorted Sui Gong to say goodbye and left for Taiyuan.
Liu Ling sent 5,000 men and horses to escort the grain and grass, led by Dingyuan Hou Zhaoxian himself.
The carriages transporting various supplies formed a long queue. The leader of the mighty team had already gone out for four or five miles, and the tail of the team was still at the gate of Taiyuan City. This formation was obviously not safe, just like last time.
If they encountered Xixia's cavalry, they would be defeated by a single charge. Xiao Luan and Zhao Xian, who had learned a lesson, discussed it, gathered their troops halfway, and tried their best to maintain the defensive formation as they moved forward.
The first hundred miles out of Taiyuan to the north were very safe. There was no disturbance at all along the road, which made Xiao Luan feel a little relaxed. However, Zhaoxian remained vigilant. He reminded Xiao Luan that the journey ahead was the most important.
It's dangerous. The horse thieves dare not approach Taiyuan Prefecture. If they get too close, they will easily alert the defenders in Taiyuan Prefecture. The tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the Gyeonggi Camp, the Forbidden Army, and the garrison are not just like local chickens and dogs.
One hundred and fifty miles away, I am afraid that is where Xixia horse thieves are rampant.
After hearing Zhaoxian's reminder, Xiao Luan's heart tightened again as he had let go.
But the rest of the journey went smoothly beyond imagination. When we were less than eighty miles away from Dingzhou, we still didn't encounter a horse thief. Xiao Luan had to be grateful for his luck. It was basically safe when we got here, eighty miles away.
A few miles away, Dingzhou was stationed with 20,000 powerful soldiers of the Liao Dynasty. The 1,500 cavalrymen of Xixia did not dare to run wild here even if they were overly ambitious.
Xiao Luan also greeted Zhao Xian, and when they reached a place fifty miles west of Dingzhou, he assigned 1,500 men and horses to escort Sui Gong into Dingzhou, while Xiao Luan and Zhao Xian took 3,500 troops with them.
Hundreds of men and horses went to attack Northwest Mountain.
