The first-level Zhaohua Thousand-level Hall

Chapter 174 Give it to him

The prince's recent life is really difficult. The Wang family, which had been his biggest arm, completely turned against him because of the death of the Wang family, and targeted him everywhere in the court, making it difficult for him to move forward.

Although the Wang family couldn't really let the prince pay for his death, the Wang family was able to make the prince more sad than death.

The Wang family asked the emperor to let the Wang family be buried as the crown prince and concubine. The emperor understood the absurd things the prince did, and agreed in spite of the objections of the queen and the prince. Concubine Nazheng,
Moreover, what happened in Wang's mourning hall that day was witnessed by many noble ladies and spread, and many people were completely disappointed with the prince's behavior.

In the court hall, someone faintly questioned the prince's position as the prince, and proposed Yi Chu's words.

But these have nothing to do with Xu Qingluo for the time being, because her current thoughts are all occupied by the news of the border.

Because of the defection of the Wang family, the food and grass that had been held back by the crown prince was finally sent to the border. After receiving the exact news, Lang Sheng finally made up his mind to surprise the allied forces of the Western Regions.

On the day when the grain and grass arrived at the border, it was the time when the army led by Lang Sheng drove back the allied forces for a full hundred miles and beheaded more than [-] enemies. After the officials who escorted the grain and grass came back, they described the situation of the battle at the border to the emperor. The morale of the soldiers is like a rainbow, and the blessings of His Majesty are as high as the sky.

The emperor was overjoyed, and his complexion towards the prince improved a lot.

After all, it was the crown prince who first proposed to let Lang Sheng go to the border, and Xu Qingluo and the General's Mansion also received a lot of rewards.

Xu Qingluo didn't care about the emperor's rewards, what made her really happy was that Lang Sheng finally wrote.

"Did Ah Cheng say when he'll be back?"

Xu Liang and Xu's mother also rejoiced together. At that time, the emperor clearly said that Lang Sheng would marry Xu Qingluo to him as long as he had a great victory.

The two of them were naturally concerned about the outcome of the war at the border, but they were more concerned about Xu Qingluo's life, and her daughter had reached the age of marriage.

Xu Qingluo looked at the letter written by Lang Sheng himself, saw the man on it recounting the first confrontation in understatement, and then focused on describing the scenery and customs of the Western Regions. She couldn't help chuckling, she wasn't really that delicate Young girl, she is afraid of wars and killings, why should she avoid the important things and ignore them, but she is still sympathetic to the man's care: "Wars are not a day or two, and this great victory is just the beginning. When it's time to come back, Ah! Sheng will come back, not to mention killing more than [-] people and retreating hundreds of miles, in His Majesty's heart, it should be just a small victory, not a big victory."

Speaking of the last sentence, Xu Qingluo's eyelashes drooped, covering the expression in his eyes, and he finally went out. If he couldn't change the capital city, Lang Sheng would come back, and he was also suspicious by the emperor just like before. , rising and falling, vacant and unused.

The Wang family is already on the side of the Ninth Prince. Because of her, those Taoist priests also say good things to the Ninth Prince in front of the emperor. If this trend continues, the emperor only needs to let the prince make some mistakes. It is easy to reserve the Ninth Prince.

When Xu Qingluo was thinking about how to take advantage of the crown prince's weakness to attack him again, Mobei sent envoys to Daqing, and it was said that he was negotiating peace with the imperial court.

Mobei is the most powerful country among the five countries in the Western Regions, and it is also the main force to attack the border. As soon as the news that Mobei's envoys came to negotiate a peace, the whole capital was boiling.

Everyone was talking about the envoys from Mobei, about the first victory at the border, and about the invincible power of the Pegasus General Lang Sheng.

Baicao vividly told Xu Qingluo what outsiders had said about Lang Sheng, her face was full of pride.

Lang Sheng's reputation has almost reached its peak in the capital. In the past, he defended against foreign races at the border, and it was useless to kill the enemy. Compared with this victory, it is not far behind, but not so many people commented and appreciated it, because Mobei Kingdom, a foreign race, had never So solemnly sent envoys to negotiate peace with the imperial court.

In the past, there was a short period of peace between the Western Regions and Daqing, but everyone knew that it was just a temporary rest, and there would still be war afterward.

Who wants to fight if there is no war?
No one wants to see the daily instability of the border.

The common people especially want to live a happy life.

"I heard that the Mobei Mission has already stayed in the post house. Those Mobei people are taller and thicker than our Daqing people, and their faces are rougher. Others are not as scary as the legends."

Baicao changed the subject and talked about the rumors about the Mobei Mission.

Xu Qingluo listened quietly, tapped his fingertips on the table, and suddenly asked, "Do you know who is the leader of the Mobei mission?"

Strangely, when she talked about the Mobei Mission, she didn't feel resentful or excited, and her heart was peaceful.

She was so miserable in her previous life, the crown prince and Yang Yunping were the introductions, and the Mobei mission that ruined her directly was even more hateful. If it was in the past, she would have to take a good look to see if there was anyone she knew among them, and pay back.

But now, maybe it was the care and love of Lang Sheng and Xu Liang Xu's mother, maybe it was Yang Yunping and the crown prince who were revenged after being overthrown by her step by step, and most of the hatred in their hearts, she is more concerned about the purpose of the Mobei mission now.

Xu Qingluo did not believe that the mission from Mobei really came to negotiate peace, not to mention that Lang Sheng hadn't really hurt their vitality, it was that Lang Sheng had really hurt their vitality, this tiger-wolf The clan will not let it go.

Xu Qingluo asked himself that he knew a little about the Mobei people.

"I heard it was some kind of prince."

Baicao thought for a while: "I can't hear the words over there, anyway, the leader looks fierce to me, his eyes are scary, and the others respect him very much. They all have knives on their bodies. Don’t dare to move forward at all.”

Listening to Baicao's description, Xu Qingluo became more and more convinced that the mission from the Mobei Kingdom had no good intentions.

If it was really purely for peace talks, the other party would not let a fierce and domineering prince come over.

The leader of the Mobei envoys who ruined her in the previous life was also a prince, the eldest prince of the Mobei Kingdom. That person was violent and cruel, lustful and vicious, but Xu Qingluo didn't think it was such a coincidence, so he didn't think too deeply about it. .

What she needs to seriously consider now is not those hatreds that can no longer occupy the mainstream of life, but other more important things.

After thinking for a while, she summoned Ding Dong: "Send seventy people to guard the general's mansion, and make sure to protect Mrs. Lang's safety. I'm worried that the mission from Mobei will not be good. Ah Sheng just won a battle at the border, and Mobei At this time, we have to guard against sending an envoy group."

It's not that Xu Qingluo treats the heart of a gentleman with a villain's heart, it's really that Mobei people are not gentlemen, what they need to do when dealing with ferocious beasts is to be more careful, not afraid to think too much, not afraid to be careful, but to think less.

"But miss, if there are only thirty people left around you, what if something happens?"

When Ding Dong heard Xu Qingluo's order, he also felt that what she thought was reasonable, but he was worried about her safety.

After all, many people in the capital know that one of Lang Sheng's two weaknesses must be his own mother, and the other is Xu Qingluo.

Seventy people, unless the other party has no scruples to attack aggressively, otherwise, the general's mansion is very safe, but Xu Qingluo's side is only thirty people, Ding Dong is a little worried.

"If someone really dares to come to my place, I will let him come and go."

Xu Qingluo curled his lips into a smile, and his bright eyes were full of confidence and arrogance.

The poison on her body and the traps arranged around the room have long been waiting for someone to try it.

Thinking of Xu Qingluo's arrangement here, Ding Dong couldn't help laughing: "I forgot, Miss's side is not soft, and anyone who dares to come here without thinking will probably be stabbed severely." .”

Now he feels more and more that Lang Sheng and Xu Qingluo are very suitable to be together. With Lang Sheng's status, a lady of every family and a weak girl, he really can't handle many things.

In other words, Xu Qingluo is never afraid, but is very comfortable in the face of danger and trouble.

Thinking of being with Xu Qingluo and watching her turn her hands into clouds and rain, and thinking of her only thinking about Langcheng, and talking about Langcheng's glowing eyes, Ding Dong became more and more happy for Langcheng.

General, he has found a woman who can truly stand shoulder to shoulder with him.

-

Xu Qingluo's precautions in advance were obviously not in vain, because that night, the sound of fierce fighting came from the opposite General's Mansion, and outside her room, three masked men in black were brought down.

Pulling off the masks, the rough and profound facial contours compared with ordinary Daqing people proved their identities.

"These despicable Mobei people!"

Ding Dong's face was full of anger, even though Xu Qingluo said in advance to be careful what the Mobei people did, but when the other party really attacked the general's mansion and Xu Qingluo, he still couldn't help but feel helpless. Bear.

Matters on the battlefield are resolved on the battlefield. How can such a method be used to deal with two innocent women? The Mobei people are too much.

Xu Qingluo, on the contrary, felt that the dust had settled: "Such a trick is considered despicable, so what happened when the plague from the Western Regions spread to Huai County? Mobei people are always more vicious than you imagined, For them, there is no need to consider the process of doing things, and the important thing is always the result."

During the movement of Xu Qingluo's hands, a few silver needles stuck between the limbs of the Mobei man on the ground: "Send them to His Majesty, I think the Mobei people will explain their behavior to Your Majesty."

Even if she killed these Mobei people, it was of no use. It was nothing more than a little bit of relief. She couldn't hurt the Mobei people's tendons or move the Mobei people's bones. Instead, she handed them over to the emperor, and the Mobei people would be severely punished bite off a piece of meat.

This emperor is indeed not wise enough, but he is as good as the prince. He never thought of currying favor with the Mobei people. Will think about dealing with Mobei people.

Xu Qingluo watched Ding Dong lead the people to send those Mobei people away, and hesitated for a while: "Follow me to the General's Mansion."

There was too much movement in the General's Mansion tonight, Langmu must have been frightened, no matter how much unhappiness there was between her and Langmu, no matter how many things Langmu did to make Langcheng sad, she was Langsheng's mother after all.

Without Langmu, there would be no Langsheng in the world.

Just for this, Xu Qingluo will do her best to Langmu.

When Xu Qingluo arrived, Mother Lang was a little stunned. She was just an ordinary old woman. The most difficult time in her life was when Father Lang died. Hack and kill.

The blood-stained corpses on the ground have been emptied, but the faint smell of blood still lingers in the air.

Xu Qingluo's heart softened, he took a few steps forward, and took Langmu's hand, the other's hand was cold: "Auntie, let's go in first, go in and have a good sleep, and everything will be fine when you wake up."

"Dead man, why did those people come to arrest me, why did they kill people, their eyes are so scary, they..."

There was no trace of blood on Langmu's face, and she couldn't help but squeeze Xu Qingluo's hand tightly, so hard that it even made Xu Qingluo feel a little pain in her hand.

She didn't struggle, and helped Langmu to walk into the room: "They are from Mobei, and they wanted to take Auntie as hostage. Ah Cheng beat them up at the border, so they made such a bad plan, not us You should be afraid of them, but they are afraid of Ah Cheng, Auntie, they are just clowns, they can't make a big climate, I will protect you, until Ah Cheng comes back, I will not let those Mobei people touch you !"

Mother Lang looked at the firmness and toughness in Xu Qingluo's eyes, and for a moment, her flustered heart slowly calmed down.

This woman was too strong for her liking, but in the face of this kind of thing, only a woman like Xu Qingluo could talk and laugh freely and calmly, so that she could really keep the General's Mansion.

She suddenly thought of Huang Yiyi, thinking of Huang Yiyi's retreat again and again, when facing the crisis of the General's Mansion, she retreated again and again, and thought of Huang Yiyi's last frame of the General's Mansion.

Compared with Xu Qingluo's behavior of sending most of the guards around him to protect him, Huang Yiyi's so-called goodness is like a joke.

At this moment, in this dark and bloody night, something changed in Langmu's deep-rooted heart.

-

"Damn it, these trash!"

In the posthouse, the fierce man slammed open the table in front of him: "I couldn't even catch the two women, and I got myself trapped in it, which made my prince surrender to the Han emperor. Why didn't they Die!"

"Prince, it's not that those of us are not dedicated, they really didn't expect that there are nearly a hundred masters protecting the general's mansion."

"What about the other one? Did the emperor prepare nearly a hundred guards for the daughter of the Xu family?"

The eldest prince looked coldly at the subordinate who spoke to him: "It is clear that I am incompetent, so don't make any excuses, go and execute those people to this prince, and use the torture of eagle bites to let others know that you are incompetent." fate!"

The eldest prince's decision made the subordinate who spoke shudder, and he didn't dare to say another word.

It's just that I couldn't help but feel sad for the death of the rabbit and the fox in my heart.

Those who can be sent to follow the eldest prince are all his confidantes and have always been loyal to the eldest prince. As a result, once they lose, not only will they not give people a way to survive, but they will even kill them so cruelly.

"Your Highness, His Majesty the Emperor of the Daqing Dynasty sent someone to invite us to participate in the banquet prepared to welcome the Mobei envoys."

When the atmosphere in the room was a little stagnant, another big man from Mobei walked in, followed by a servant.

The waiter looked at the Mobei people in the room, especially the fierce eyes of the eldest prince, couldn't help but tremble, and conveyed his intention tremblingly, which was exactly what the big man in front said.

"Hey, the banquet, that is, the Daqing people had the thought to hold a banquet during the war, and the people who caught us were able to whitewash the peace and hypocrisy!"

The eldest prince glanced at the exquisite invitation card, which was sprinkled with gold powder and engraved with silver threads. The exquisiteness made the eldest prince disgusted, and he threw it aside: "The prince is not feeling well, Aguda, you can go instead of the prince."

"Your Highness, we are here to find a way to defeat that Langcheng. So what if we have to endure it for a while? Maybe Langcheng's mother and his beloved woman in the General's Mansion will also attend the banquet. When the time comes, we will play by ear. Being able to get what you want. Failure once doesn’t mean failure always.”

The big man from Mobei who came in later obviously didn't know what the eldest prince had done to the subordinates who came back just now, so he said seriously.

The eldest prince looked at him fixedly, and under the worried eyes of the subordinate at the beginning, he suddenly stood up and patted the other person on the shoulder: "Aguda, you are right, we have many opportunities, nothing more than two Women, there is always a way."

-

Xu Qingluo was also invited to the banquet, and met Princess Xinghe on the way. Compared with her domineering publicity in the past, Princess Xinghe's expression was much darker. After all, her parents didn't love her recently, her brother wasn't close, and the palace servants around her didn't like her. She has grievances, so it would be nice not to add insult to injury, let alone serve her carefully.

Even though she was wearing extremely gorgeous clothes, she couldn't hide the gloom.

"your Highness."

Xu Qingluo looked at Princess Xinghe who was blocking the way she had to pass, and saluted. In the palace, she would never forget the proper etiquette.

Princess Xinghe twitched the corners of her lips: "I heard that you have been named the county monarch, it seems that you have served my royal father very well."

Xu Qingluo smiled, and she cared about as much as a dog in the water: "That's because there are things worthy of His Majesty's attention. If Your Highness is interested, you can also think about how to make His Majesty not hate you."

"You, Mrs. Xu, don't think that you are always so happy, your good luck is not always there!"

Princess Xinghe turned sharply and walked towards the banquet hall.

The crown prince is responsible for the reception of the Mobei envoys today, and Princess Xinghe must be present. Thinking of what the queen said to herself, Princess Xinghe's eyes are full of resentment.

Why!
-

"That's the woman Lang Cheng cares about?"

The eldest prince stared at Xu Qingluo with scorching eyes. He only heard that the daughter of the Xu family that Lang Cheng liked was beautiful, but he did not expect to be so beautiful.

As soon as I saw it, I wanted to drag her to the bed. Such a beautiful woman, with such delicate and white skin, must be extremely beautiful if she is immersed in a pool of blood.

Xu Qingluo naturally noticed the eldest prince's eyes. It should be said that she had to pay attention to the prince from Mobei after seeing him. Isn't it the face-to-face that ruined her the most?

Xu Qingluo drank a glass of wine slowly, and looked away. It doesn't matter if it was the person in the previous life, at least she knew a little more about the prince of Mobei who ruined her in the previous life. more sure.

Xu Qingluo thought about this almost indifferently, and the corners of his lips slowly evoked a faint smile.

The prince saw the way the eldest prince looked at Xu Qingluo, and felt a little displeased in his heart. After all, Xu Qingluo was his favorite, but when he thought of the things Xu Qingluo had done to him time and time again, there was a gloomy flash in his eyes.

It is said that this Mobei prince has a vicious and cruel temper, and Mobei people also have the habit of sharing women.

Xu Qingluo spoiled him time and time again, and didn't accept his overtures at all. Isn't it because he thinks highly of himself and despises himself?
If Xu Qingluo becomes a broken shoe.
In fact, I can go to share with the eldest prince and use the same woman on the bed. I think the eldest prince will be closer to him, and have a good relationship with Prince Mobei. The damaged face also helps a little, and it is more likely to get the support of the Mobei people. In that case, the father wants to be easy to save, and he has to think more about it.

The prince laughed slowly, he thought his idea was very good, if he found the right time, he could
"Brother Huang, compared to me, the Eldest Prince seems to like Xu Shi more. If Brother Huang really wants to befriend the Eldest Prince Mobei, I think it will be better to give Xu Shi to him."

Princess Xinghe and the crown prince had the same thought, and her eyes were full of viciousness: "Brother emperor, I will be the princess of Mobei in the future, and I will greet my husband in advance to a woman who is desirable, so that it will be easier for him to love you. Do you agree?"

-

Xu Qingluo was sprinkled with some wine, and the palace servants knelt on one side and kept begging for mercy, their eyes full of panic.

Many people around have noticed this.

Xu Qingluo waved her to get up: "Forget it, take me to change a set of clothes."

Before leaving, Xu Qingluo glanced at the people at the banquet behind her, her eyelashes drooping slightly, covering up the unpredictable look in her eyes.

"Your Majesty, please."

The palace man led Xu Qingluo down the path.

If Xu Qingluo hadn't stayed in the palace in her previous life, she would really be confused.

Going forward is the scope of the cold palace, where is the place for people to change clothes.

There was a slight smile on the corner of his lips, it seemed that someone couldn't help but want to do something tonight.

He secretly touched the things prepared in his sleeves, not afraid to do it, but afraid that some people were more patient than himself.

After all, she wasn't prepared to delay with those people, the people from Mobei were staring at each other, and the prince was spying on him secretly, no matter who it was tonight, she could make the other party leave something.

"Your Majesty, be careful where you step."

Seeing the place, the palace man secretly breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his head even more, stretched out his hand, and pushed open a door with a creak.

There was a rush of heat from inside.

It was the fire that had just risen, accompanied by bursts of faint aroma, lingering in the room.

"Your Majesty, hot water and clothes have been prepared inside, you go inside first, the slaves are guarding outside."

The palace man bent over and said.

Xu Qingluo took a deep look at this humble palace man, and smiled slightly at the corner of his lips: "Okay."

The door was gently closed, and Xu Qingluo heard the soft sound of chains.

Not caring at all, the girl took out the porcelain vase in her sleeve, and walked slowly to the fire. The flames reflected the smile on her lips, which was a bit too gorgeous.

A pill was thrown into it, and the faint aroma was mixed with other flavors, gradually blending into one.

Footsteps came, and the door slammed softly, Xu Qingluo turned and looked at the door.
