The devil is coming

Chapter 988 Brother, lower your head first
The carriage continued to drive, but the rhythm outside seemed to have changed;
There are a group of knight guards following the outside, but there is only one person who can quietly move these loyal guards to disperse.
Xiong Liqing opened the carriage curtain and saw a man in python robe riding Pixiu outside the carriage.
Zheng Fan also happened to turn his head and look over, and the couple looked at each other and smiled.
The car curtains were lowered,
Zheng Fan waved his hand to signal the team to move on. They were still some distance away from the commander's tent.
However, in front of the carriage, a beautiful figure emerged. The princess opened her arms, and the wind kept blowing her hair. As a mother, she now showed the naivety of a girl.
On the contrary, the Prince Regent, who always thought he was thicker-skinned than Zhennanguan,
A little shy at the moment;
Although he was the one who held her hand and walked up the golden steps of Dayan Palace to face the late emperor and Wen Wu, but now that they are an old couple, no matter how much they show affection, they always feel a little...well, they can't let go.
However, Zheng Fan didn't let his wife wait for long. Pixiu under his crotch did not need to be told, and he accelerated forward a little. Zheng Fan reached out again, took Xiong Liqing's hand, pulled it, and let it fall into his arms. Ride with yourself in the middle.
"call………"
The princess shouted with great joy.
Although Zheng Fan didn't join in the shouting of "Let us live a life of peace and quiet as companions in the world of mortals", he still had a smile on his face.
After the princess went crazy for a while, she returned to the posture of a little woman, turned slightly sideways, nestled against Zheng Fan's chest, and looked at her husband.
"My husband is a little darker."
"It's getting cold, so let's get some more sun. By the way, you had a hard time on the road."
"It's not hard. The thought of going home makes me feel like I'm going home."
"Ha ha."
"By the way, husband, Lin'er's matter..."
"Six Niang told me that it doesn't matter, he won't starve to death, so locking him up for a while will help get rid of the hostility in him."
Turning the conversation,
The prince continued:
"Thanks to my daughter, she has to stay with that brat all the time."
"Big girl is my sister, as it should be."
Team, move on;
Xiong Liqing did not sit back in the carriage, but stayed in Zheng Fan's arms.
However, when entering the military camp, Xiong Liqing instinctively wanted to get up and stand down. She knew that there were strict rules in the army.
Zheng Fan reached out and held her down.
Road:
"nothing."
In the military camp, many soldiers subconsciously put down what they were busy doing and looked over.
In the land of Chu State in the past,
My own prince is riding on Pixiu, holding the princess of Chu in his arms.
This scene,
The hearts of these Qiuba people began to surge uncontrollably.
This was not something Zheng Fan did deliberately, he really just didn't want to bother. After all, he was already a "god" in the Yan Army, and he had long been too lazy to "contribute" to his image;
It's a pity that the breeze is unintentional, and the ripples still rise.
After you have adapted to your identity,
Whether or not you take off your disguise cannot change the way others see you.
"Greetings to the prince, hello to the princess!"
"Greetings to the prince, hello to the princess!"
After bowing down,
Xiong Liqing looked at her husband with wide eyes, and saw that her husband was just waving his hands casually, without showing any sign of pride;
The queen mother had said to her before,
It is said that women choose men. Before marriage, there is nothing to say about what they like or dislike. Even if they hear about some literary talents or suave things, they are all false.
It’s really here,
You still have to get married, give birth to a child, and live your life normally,
You raised your head and looked at him,
If you don't feel disgusted in your heart, it is considered a rare good match.
After entering the commander's tent, Xiong Liqing didn't see Siniang and couldn't help but ask:
"Where's my sister?"
"I'm going to Sansuo County, where we have to take the lead in reclamation, and Si Niang is going to take charge of the overall situation."
The destroyed counties also have the advantage of being destroyed. After the old system is eliminated, the palace will have more space to rebuild and plan. Large-scale immigration is impossible. After all, Eastern Shanxi is not saturated yet;
But it is still important to re-establish the system of production relations before spring;
From a military strategic perspective, when the time comes, the army here will be able to rely on local logistical supply support;
From the perspective of people's livelihood, allowing those people who have just changed from Chu people to "Yan people" to produce and work in an orderly manner can also reduce a lot of governance burden.
Even if there are differences in accents among the Xia Kingdoms, they still essentially speak the same words. It is true that the font style has different emphasis, but it does not prevent everyone from understanding the meaning;
Leaving aside the nobles of the Chu region, the real leaders of Guizhou actually don't care much about whether the one flying high in the sky is a fire phoenix or a black dragon.
"Husband, when are we going to see them?" Xiong Liqing asked.
"Why, are you so impatient?"
"No, I just hope that I can help my husband as soon as possible."
"Three days later. Nian Yao has already contacted me. The blind man will be with him, and they will make arrangements."
Liu Dahu brought the washbasin;
Xiong Liqing washed her hands and squeezed the towel.
Ask Liu Dahu:
"Can I take a bath here in the handsome tent?"
Liu Dahu nodded and said: "Don't worry, Princess, I will make arrangements for you now."
"it is good."
There is already a place for bathing. After all, if conditions permit, the prince will try his best not to compromise with his life.
Behind the handsome tent, there is a tent attached, and there is a bathtub ready there.
Liu Dahu led Xiong Liqing to the entrance of the tent and said:
"Princess, I will send someone from my humble position to call the princess's personal maid to come over later. She will be there in a moment."
The area where the commander's tent is located is the most heavily guarded place in the army. The entry and exit of military personnel is strict, but the entry and exit of casualties is naturally even more difficult.
"No, don't bother. My princess has already come in. What's the point of calling the maid in too? I can do it myself."
"Yes."
Liu Dahu bowed and then left.
Xiong Liqing walked into the tent. Hot water had been put inside, and everything from towels to soap was nearby.
……
"Your Majesty, tea."
"Ah."
"I'll go and hand over the coupons I have on hand first. In addition, I also need to go to the Military Disciplinary Office on behalf of the prince to see it."
"understood."
"Retire from humble office."
Zheng Fan reached out to pick up the tea cup while reviewing the folds and took a sip;
Looking down,
I found that what was soaked in the cup was wolfberry.
At this time, Xiong Liqing came over, and the prince continued to comment on the mistakes.
Xiong Liqing walked behind the handsome seat and reached out to help squeeze her shoulders. There was a unique fragrance of a woman after taking a bath from her body.
immediately,
Xiong Liqing bent down,
Put your face against the side of Zheng Fan's face,
Road:
"This is the territory of Chu State."
Zheng Fan put down the pen in his hand,
Road:
"Yes."
Xiong Liqing blew into Zheng Fan's ear,
Road:
"Little Zhengzi, why don't you hurry up and help me take off my shoes?"
……
after nightfall,
It rained intermittently.
But it gradually cleared up at dawn.
Jin Shuke and Li Chenghui's troops stationed in Moya County and Wenqiu County of Yan State retreated fifty miles to the north;
At the junction of the two forces, at the northern edge of Shangyang County, a small county town that was originally unknown began to gradually become lively.
The Yan army retreated, but at the same time a force of about 3000 troops stationed in the county.
Outside the county, [-] Chu State forbidden troops were stationed. There were no tests or conflicts between the two sides. Everything seemed peaceful.
Two days later,
The Yan army's troops withdrew from the county town, while the Chu army's troops and horses moved their camp southward. Both sides emptied the county town again.
Wait until the third day,
A Jinyi personal guard army with a size of a thousand people came, entered the county and began to set up defenses;
And from the military stronghold in the south, a thousand forbidden troops were also sent to the county seat;
Each side occupies half of the small county town.
at noon,
The blind man led a group of people to enter the selected house first and conduct inspections. On the Chu people's side, they sent the chief guard of Fengchao to do the same thing;
People from both sides crossed each other, rummaged through each other, and confirmed that no one was hiding anything or doing anything wrong.
In the afternoon,
Two carriages entered the county town from the north gate and the south gate respectively, and at almost the same moment, they entered the house from the two entrances.
Zheng Fan got off the carriage first, then reached out and picked up Xiong Liqing.
It extends from here to the hall,
One side,
Standing are the Jinyi personal guards, and on one side, standing are the Fengchao inner guards;
The bodyguards in brocade are dressed in flying fish suits and carry embroidered spring knives. They are all blood-quenching elites;
In comparison, Da Chu's Fengchao inner guards have bright armor and good energy, but they just give people a feeling of insufficient internal energy.
Really
Just feeling;
Because these Chu Di'erlangs have raised their chests and raised their heads as much as possible to reveal their own evil aura.
But equality in this small house,
But it can't change the overall situation, the Yan people's complete victory and suppression of the Chu people.
However, Xiong Liqing, who had "run away from home" for many years, subconsciously felt a slight soreness in her nose when she saw the Phoenix Nest guards here again.
For her, it wasn't until this moment that she truly smelled home.
The Fengchao inner guards of the Chu State and the Silver Armored Guards of the Qian State are not all Fanzi. They are also responsible for most of the security and safety duties of the palace. Therefore, Xiong Liqing, who grew up in the palace, is very familiar with them.
And when the prince and princess appeared,
The royal guards on the right collectively held the scabbards on their chests and took a step forward in a uniform manner.
The Phoenix Nest guard standing opposite blinked, but didn't know what to do.
I wanted to do something neatly, but I was not prepared at all.
It can only be said that Jindong Prince's Palace has been at the forefront of the entire Xia Dynasty in this regard.
And it is no exaggeration to say,
When the regent of Dayan cast his gaze on them, these Phoenix Nest guards felt a huge pressure.
It’s not that the prince has nothing to do and is deliberately exuding a “tyrannical” air here.
It was purely because my own soldiers were tired of seeing it and couldn't help but try it out, so they looked at it a few more times.
immediately,
The prince turned to look at Xiong Liqing and opened his arms.
Xiong Liqing smiled slightly. She was a little surprised, but she did not resist and took the initiative to reach out and hold her man's arm.
The two of them walked to the front hall together;
In the other direction, the Emperor of Chu was also walking towards him. He was also supporting someone, not his queen, but the Queen Mother of Chu.
The Queen Mother had a smile on her face,
She has always been a very wise woman, at least in the environment of the harem. She does not fight or grab, but she has been silently paving the way for her son.
To a certain extent, half of her son's success in winning the throne among his sons was due to her passionate love;
Xiong Tingshan is her adopted son, and the Shi family has also received her favor. The Qu family originally had a concubine who had no role in the palace and was not favored. It was she who always accompanied and protected her from being bullied by the snobbish harem;
One after another, she has already done too much.
Getting old,
On the contrary, she became more understanding.
In the war between states, the state of Chu lost twice and lost its capital, but what could be done?
We can't let an old woman like her go to the front line to kill with a knife, right?
Anyway, this great country, this country, all belongs to his Lao Xiong family, and has nothing to do with him anymore. Once it is built, it is done;
At her age, what is even rarer is the joy of having her children at her knees. This is really not just an act.
Before the principals of both parties came in,
The blind man stood in the hall, and the person standing opposite him was Xie Yu'an.
The two of them didn't communicate much.
The blind man reached into his sleeves, took out two oranges, and threw one to Xie Yu'an.
Xie Yuan reached out to catch it, put the orange to his nose and smelled it.
However, no one peeled it off.
After confirming the "eyes", they are not people who like to eat oranges;
Since no one would eat it, I didn’t bother to peel it.
at last,
The principals of both sides came in.
When Xiong Liqing saw the Queen Mother, she immediately shouted:
"Mother."
"Girl!"
Xiong Liqing threw herself into the Empress Dowager's arms, and the Empress Dowager patted her on the head.
The husband and the brother met each other's eyes and sat down facing each other.
No one said anything,
Let the mother and daughter talk first;
At first, the mother and daughter were really excited to meet each other.
But they are all women who came from deep palaces, are of high rank, and know how to control their emotions. After the true feelings were revealed at first, they continued to talk about the family's filial piety, which was actually intentional.
They all wanted to warm up the atmosphere at this moment, so as to create a better atmosphere for the next conversation between the two men.
a long time,
The mother and daughter then sat on the other side hand in hand.
The Queen Mother stroked Xiong Liqing's hand,
He glared at his emperor's son angrily,
scolded:
"Thankfully, the girl had a good idea and didn't follow your ideas. Look, the man she found is such a good man."
said,
The Queen Mother looked at Zheng Fan again,
Road:
"I wasn't worried before, but now that I see the girl in front of me, I realize that the girl's life is quite comfortable."
There were too many women coming in and out of the palace. The Queen Mother could tell at a glance whether her life was going well or not.
Zheng Fan didn't stand up, but he leaned forward slightly.
Road:
"Should be."
"Mother, our Jindong Prince's Mansion is very quiet. If you are willing, you can come back with me to live for a while. My daughter's home is not my home."
hear this,
The Queen Mother also specifically glanced at Zheng Fan again,
Road:
"Hey, how can there be any reason among the people that a son is still living at his daughter's house?"
"But don't people among the people visit each other to visit relatives? Besides, I don't have any parents-in-law, so how can I get so much attention? The big girl has been clamoring to see her grandma."
"Oh, yes, why don't you bring the big girl with you? I really want to meet my precious granddaughter."
Of course, it is impossible for Xiong Liqing to directly say that your granddaughter is currently "visiting prison" in a tent at home;
Just smiled and said:
"My mother doesn't know that our prince is very precious to our daughter. He holds it in his hand for fear of dropping it and holds it in his mouth for fear of melting. How dare he let her come to this battle."
"Oh, yes."
Xiong Liqing looked at her royal brother and said, "Brother, can you let your mother stay with me for a while?"
What is somewhat surprising is that,
Emperor Chu actually nodded directly and said: "Okay, it just so happens that the queen can go and relax."
"Mother, look, the emperor has agreed."
"Let me tell you, your mother and I have saved a lot of personal belongings. I can't bear to give them to your queen and sister-in-law. I just want to give them to my granddaughter. You are not allowed to snatch them from her."
"Your heart has really strayed into the sea. Why, you don't expect Brother Huang and me to take care of you in your old age, but instead you hope that she will take care of you in your old age?"
"Why can't it be done? You can tell me in the letter that the girl gave me that she is practicing the sword now, and in the future, she will take me to fly in the sky with the sword."
"She's just kidding."
"Where are you talking nonsense? My granddaughter is a spiritual child and a genius."
The Queen Mother sighed, covered her chest with her other hand and said:
"You said, this is a good family, obviously we are a family, but if we put it aside among the people, if anything happens to one family, the other family will inevitably have someone involved.
Why is there a war? "
Zheng Fan didn't speak, but silently took a cup of tea from the blind man's hand.
Xie Yuan also served a cup of tea to Emperor Chu;
The two men drank tea in silence.
The Queen Mother continued:
"When we get along with each other in this family, it's inevitable that there will be some tantrums. This is normal. Which family with a large population can't encounter such a thing?
But in the end,
Relatives are relatives,
A family is a family;
Doesn’t the next generation also have the blood of two families flowing in their bodies?
Not to mention breaking the bones but still connecting the tendons, at the very least, if the meat is rotten, it has to be thrown into a pot. There is no reason for my own family to be beaten to a bloody head. This advantage has been taken by outsiders. That's it. It's really a shame.
Do you think this is true? "
Zheng Fan put down his tea cup.
Resting your hands on the armrests of the chair,
He opened his mouth and said:
"Brother, let's not talk about two different things as one family."
Emperor Chu also put down his tea cup and nodded slightly:
"As it should be."
The blind man and Xie Yu'an both subconsciously stood up slightly at this time.
"Then just lower your head first."
"Who do you bow to?"
"I."
