The Possession of My Beloved

    Cui Xingzhou also knew this and was ready for a lasting stalemate. Because the Golden Armor Pass has been stabilized, the imperial court will not have an imperial decree to urge the war for the time being.

    It is reported that Empress Dowager Wu's birthday is approaching, and the whole country is celebrating this event. .

    There is one thing that makes him quite concerned - that is the fact that Miantang can speak savagely.

    And even Miantang didn't know that she could speak savagely, so she learned it from Lu Wen during the period of her amnesia... This makes people think deeply, what did Lu Wen do? What kind of livelihood needs to be in contact with barbarians?

    Cui Xingzhou reviewed the information collected during this period, and only said that the barbarian tribe had been doing business with Guannei for the past few years. A merchant from Dayan dug out rich iron ore in the barbarian land. Because barbarians could not smelt it, it was convenient for the merchant to cooperate and sell it privately and make a fortune...

    Cui Xingzhou heard about this, and then thought of the constant flow of money and weapons from thieves and bandits on the mountain when Yangshan was in chaos, and he always felt that there was some connection.

    Miantang was able to manage the accounts for Liu Hao at the beginning, and naturally he also had contact with the barbarians, and it was normal to know some barbaric language.

    But where did the iron ore go and who the mysterious merchant sent by Yangshan was another question.

    Whether Liu Hao was the mysterious businessman or not, Cui Xingzhou felt that such transactions should not continue.

    So once he thought of this, Cui Xingzhou knew what to do next, and only arranged for the manpower to pull out those mysterious merchants while he gradually regained the checkpoint town.

    Thinking this way, Cui Xingzhou cast a wide net and sent many undercover detectives to investigate the iron ore.

    If the iron ore is really related to Liu Hao, the descendants of the former crown prince may be capable enough. Thinking of the inextricable fight between Lu Wen and him, Cui Xingzhou felt that the future challenge was still Very hopeful.

    However, no matter whether the son of Ziyu is the thief Lu Wen, or the prince Liu Hao, he cannot stay in the end. When Cui Xingzhou knew that he and Lu Wen were incompatible. If the former adversary really became the emperor at one time, wouldn't the entire county be slaughtered?

    But he can't do anything right now, he can only secretly accumulate power in the Golden Armor Pass. Now, because of the wartime, the number of soldiers of Zhenzhou's children has increased several times compared to when they were in the south of the Yangtze River.

    Different from her husband, Cui Jiuman, who planned a great cause, Miantang's mind was much simpler.

    As a frontier soldier, in addition to taking good care of your husband's clothing and food, and earning a little money, it is simply very fulfilling!

    Her life in the frontier town is much busier than when she was in Lingquan Town.

    Because Miantang not only has to take care of the pharmacy, but also takes care of the baby girl.

    Because Mrs. Lin had no fixed place to live before giving birth, the food was not good, and the milk was insufficient at first. The little baby was so hungry that the baby cried and cried until her forehead was red.

    Mother Sheng, who took care of Mrs. Lin, felt that she had done her best, so she said goodbye to Mrs. Lin and left. Only Lin Siyue, the busy bride, was left.

    Although Mrs. Lin has a room in the pharmacy, it is not easy to trouble the people in the pharmacy to take care of her in confinement.

    Seeing that the child was so hungry that he was about to cry out of breath, he used the leftover rice to add water to make rice soup and fed it to the little baby who was waiting to be fed.

    Although Miantang has never given birth to a child, she feels that she should not feed this to a doll in confinement.

    So she told the man to go to the town and buy a goat with plenty of milk at a high price, so that the doll could have milk to drink.

    Of course, Miantang told Mrs. Lin to drink more. She was well nourished so that she could have enough milk, and the baby still had to eat her mother's milk to grow well.

    Lady Lin was always worried that Liu Miantang would hand her over to the military master. Because she found out that Lady Liu's official was actually the commander-in-chief of King Huaiyang!

    But her stern-looking husband never came to interrogate her, and Miantang never asked her about the barbarian tribe.

    After Lin Siyue found out that Miantang was indeed a good-natured person, she also let go of her guards and often talked to Miantang in savage language.

    Although Miantang doesn't know how she learned the barbarian language, she adheres to the principle of being proficient in one skill. In addition, she can help her husband in the future, but she likes to talk to Lin Siyue in barbarian language.

    According to Mrs. Lin, although there are barbarians outside the gate. But different tribes have different minds. For example, the one who did evil this time was only the king's flag led by Agufan, and many tribes were forced to follow it.

    Miantang asked why she saw two local barbarian merchants in the market a few days ago, but could not understand what they were saying.

    Lady Lin smiled and said: "Actually, people from different tribes speak with different accents. But lady, the accent you use is pure Qiqi, generally only from the Daqi tribe. can speak."

    Miantang heard it, and said curiously: "So it is, I really didn't know it before, but Mrs. Lin, you said you were from the Guli tribe, but I think your accent is similar to This strange language is very similar!"

    Lin Siyue froze for a moment, then smiled awkwardly: "I only learned it later, and my previous accent is much worse than Qiyi..."

    But Miantang noticed another detail.

    According to Lin Siyue, the people of the Daqi tribe are the descendants of the authentic royal family on the grassland, and they migrated from the north of the Snow Mountain. Therefore, they with high noses and deep eyes are also very disdainful of those barbarians with flat noses.

    The current Agu Fan, Da Chanyu, is said to have a flat nose. When Liu Miantang heard this, she looked at the little milk doll she was holding.

    Because the baby's head is really big, Miantang helped Mrs. Lin to give the baby a baby named Little Walnut.

    Mian Tang held the fragrant and soft baby, but took time to think about what her and her husband's future baby would be like.

    However, her baby will also have a high nose bridge, because the baby's parents are not short nose bridges!

    Thinking about this, Miantang showed a sweet smile.

    In the past few days, she chose soft fabrics to make clothes for Mrs. Lin's son, Xiao Walnut, she couldn't help but reserved a small set of clothes for herself. When I go back, I am ready to have a baby. It is always right to prepare in advance.

    The milk doll in Miantang's arms was about to fall asleep when she was frightened by the sound, and she burst into tears as soon as her mouth was closed.

    The old mother raised her eyes and looked around, looked up and saw Miantang holding the baby, and then said to the tall and thin woman: "Miss, it should be her... "

    It turns out that the woman who kicked the door with a noble servant is the newly married daughter of the second young master of the Hu family.

    At the time when the border war was tight and the Hu family fled, Mrs. Hu was afraid that in the turbulent years, her own business would suffer losses without shelter, so she decided to let her second son marry the daughter of a lieutenant general Zhou in the customs .

    Become in-law, Mrs. Hu has the cheek to ask officers and soldiers to dispatch to protect the safety of the family.

    I just didn't expect that the border crisis would be resolved so quickly.

    In the beginning, everyone was worried, everyone thought that they would not be able to return to their homes for three or five years.

    But who would have thought that the Huaiyang King dispatched from Jiangnan was young, but he could play better than the previous veterans. Not only has the siege of Jinjiaguan been lifted, but the front has moved forward a lot.

    The barbarians could not become a climate for a while, and those people who left soon returned.

    A large family like the Hu family naturally has a lot of land and large houses and courtyards that cannot be given up. So after the situation stabilized, after their family discussed it, they also went home.

    This newcomer to the Zhou family has heard that her husband previously had a concubine of an alien race. But before she passed the door, she was coaxed out.

    Thinking that the concubine was pregnant and went away, Zhou Shi felt uncomfortable for a long time. In addition, when she found out that her husband had fled and returned, she secretly found someone to inquire about the whereabouts of Lin's concubine.

    Yesterday, she had made a big fuss in her room, that Hu Ershao was scolded by her mother and knelt down in the Buddhist hall.

    The more Zhou Shi thought about it, the more angry she became. She just thought that the humei who was driven out might be secretly seducing her husband.

      .

    When Mr. Zhou entered the drugstore, he saw Miantang wrapped his head in green cloth, holding a newborn baby in his arms, with a beautiful appearance and a figure that was more like a normal Central Plains woman Being taller, she immediately recognized that she was the abandoned woman Lin Siyue.

    After the two soldiers kicked the door, they guarded the door with a posture of not letting go.

    And the woman said to Liu Miantang, "Are you Lin Siyue?"

    Liu Miantang saw that their posture was wrong, and vaguely guessed that the visitor was not good. She handed the crying baby to Fang Xie's hand, and asked the maid to hold it to Mrs. Lin, then turned around He said calmly, "Who are you?"

    The old lady raised her eyebrows and said, "Our lady is the new wife of the second young master of the Hu family, why don't you come to greet me soon?"

    Liu Miantang heard that it was the Hu family's bride, so she smiled and said, "But where are you not Zhou Zheng, and you want to buy medicine?"

    The old woman sighed and said: "You little bitch, you dare to curse the right lady to be sick when you open your mouth, what's in your heart? Since the eldest lady coaxes you If you go out, you will no longer belong to the Hu family, and you don’t know who’s wild seed you are pregnant with, so you want to rely on our young master, and you want to coax him to buy you a house, what a slut!”

    Chou shi came today, and wanted to let go.

    Look at the posture of Mrs. Lin sitting in the hall, like the pharmacy she owns, the money she spends... Isn't it all her husband?

    Thinking of this, she could not wait to tear up Lady Lin and take that wild child away!

    Then she will bring the little brat back and see how the husband comes out to look for this flirtatious!

    At the moment, she didn't want to talk nonsense, she just said bitterly: "Come on, give me such a charming face!"

    The old woman finished scolding, and wanted to come up and slap Liu Miantang, give her a good slap, and then twisted her arm to cut her face,

    However, she didn't expect that she had just jumped up a few steps, and the pharmacy clerk, who was watching the excitement with his arms on the side, didn't care about the 3721, only one punch hit her in the stomach, and the beating She stepped back with a "ouch" and fell to the ground.

    When the two soldiers saw it, a guy from a pharmacy actually stretched out his hand to beat someone, and immediately rushed over to hit the guy.

    The guys in this pharmacy are all former secret guards, and each and every one of the elite men is fed up with being fussy on the way to the northwest.

    If the rabble of these old mothers and little soldiers can't figure it out, then they can really find a hemp rope to kill themselves.

    In the end, the two soldiers were knocked to the ground by the guys who walked out from behind the shop, and they were **** with ropes.

      Ignore it, no flesh and blood, coax a pregnant woman out! But seeing you like this today, if you want to have no skin, you want to be virtuous, and you are a good match for the conscientious Hu family, stinky fish and rotten The shrimp is in a pot. But where did you get your face? You are too embarrassed to go to the door to grab the child and scratch the face of the flower? Now, do adults and children eat or drink from you? It has something to do with your Hu family. ?"

    The Zhou family had previously heard that the servant of the Hu family said that although Mrs. Lin could speak Chinese, she was not a good talker. But when I saw her recently, this concubine Lin was sharp and eloquent in front of her. Not only was she sarcastic, but her cold look with raised eyebrows looked like a high-ranking lady in the main room. She was really angry!

    Miss Zhou did not expect Madam Lin to be so arrogant, and she said in a hurry: "My father is Lieutenant General Zhou in Linguan, these two are my father's subordinates, you dare to attack Dayan's army Lord, just wait and go to jail!"

    If she scare ordinary people, maybe there is some effect. It's a pity that the guys in the house are not ordinary people.

    Only in terms of official position, Fan Hu is much higher than this Zhou's Laozi! A small military general in Border Grain Town, can he use it to scare them?

    So without waiting for Liu Miantang to speak, Fan Hu immediately said in a deep voice: "Now is the period of frontier garrison, and the soldiers of the barracks with a radius of 100 miles are not allowed to leave their posts without permission. If there is food and grass, the soldiers there must be on guard day and night, and it cannot be ignored. Which deputy general of Zhou is your father, who is so powerful in the military that he dares to arbitrarily assign soldiers to the camp, let his daughter send them, and smash the shops of the common people! According to the order of Dayan , you just wait to collect the corpse for your father!"

    Zhou shi did not expect a small drugstore guy to speak in a certain way. It seems that this is the truth.

    She panicked for a while, and when Liu Miantang called the staff to twist them to the government to report to the official, she immediately shouted in a sharp voice: "I'm just here to buy medicine, by the way with you Just a few words, why do you twist my people and don't let them go? They are just servants, not soldiers at all... If you don't let them go quickly, we don't dare to buy medicine from you.

    Liu Miantang saw that she had stopped and asked Fan Hu to let go of the soldier and let them leave in despair.

    But when Zhou Shi turned back and stared, his eyes were full of unwillingness, and he didn't know what trouble he would find in the future.

    Miantang took care of the trouble at the shop, then turned to look for Mrs. Lin, but found that she was wrapping the baby in a small quilt tightly.

    Miantang frowned and asked, "What are you doing?"

    Lady Lin whispered: "Today's trouble is caused by our mother and son, it's not good to cause trouble to you again. That woman's father is a military lord, if you are accused of collaborating with the enemy , isn't it going to implicate you?"

    Mian Tang knew that what Lin Siyue said was not overthinking, if Zhou Shi thought about it like this after returning, and decided to make a fuss about Lin Siyue's alien identity, it would not end well.

    It's not that Miantang is afraid, but that he is afraid of hurting the husband in the army.

    But she can't just watch Lin Siyue go like this, now the weather is cold and windy, she is a weak woman with no relatives and a baby without a full moon, where can she go?

    Mian Tang frowned for a while and decided to let Fan Hu send Lin Siyue out of the gate.

    On the second day, the soldiers of Jinjia Pass were on leave, and there were soldiers on the road outside the pass, so Mrs. Lin left the next morning.

    Now the towns and villages outside Jinjiaguan have recovered. There are both Han Chinese and barbarians there. Lin Siyue went there to settle down, at least it wouldn't look too dazzling. As for the cost of food and clothing, as well as the money for the Anjia family, Miantang also prepared them together. Even the quilt that wrapped the small walnuts was made by Miantang with cotton wool. Although the stitches are a little twisted and crooked, the cotton wool is thick enough, there are four in total, even if the baby urinates, it is enough to change.

    When Li's mother loaded the two big bags into the carriage, Lin Siyue watched silently, and suddenly said to Miantang: "We people from the grassland tribe outside Guanwai, remember since childhood One point is that I don’t say thank you for my great kindness. I will always remember Liu Niangzi’s help to our mother and son, and I will definitely repay Liu Niangzi’s kindness in the future… In addition, all the children in our tribe have recognized their adoptive mothers since childhood. I don’t know if the lady is willing to be my son’s adoptive mother?”

    Mian Tang listened to Lin Siyue's words, and smiled indifferently: "It's not that you are expected to repay you, if you can raise the little walnut safely, it will be better than anything else. I am naturally willing to have such a pink and tender eldest son, from now on, he will be my adopted son of Liu Miantang!"

    Since she is an adoptive mother, she always needs to get some gifts. So Liu Miantang took off a small jade pendant from his neck and hung it around the neck of a small walnut.

    Lin Siyue smiled at Liu Miantang, carried the child into the carriage, and let Fan Hu **** him out of the gate.

    Watching the little walnuts that exuded the fragrance of milk leave, Miantang was actually quite reluctant, so she stopped in front of the store and waited for a long time before turning back to the store.

    At this moment, Cui Xingzhou also rode outside her pharmacy.

    Miantang turned around and smiled and looked at her husband wearing a bucket hat. He felt that he really knew her heart and did not like to ask other girls to see his face, so every time he returned to Wuning Pass, he wore Wearing a hat.

    After Cui Xingzhou dismounted, Miantang went over to hold his hand cordially: "Husband, are you taking me home?"

    Cui Xingzhou looked at her glowing white face under the rising sun, stretched out her hand to straighten her temples and said: "The general came to report that there are suspicious people near the town, I don't worry You, come and see..."

    Miantang turned around and saw that there were indeed groups of officers and soldiers walking around. She then said, "Since your husband is on duty, let's go into the shop and drink some water..."

    Cui Xingzhou nodded, took Miantang's hand and entered the pharmacy.

    Mian Tang only looked at her husband, but did not look around, and did not notice that across the corner of the street, a man wrapped in a thick scarf was staring wide-eyed, watching in disbelief Liu Miantang.

    After Liu Miantang turned back to the shop, the man watched Cui Xingzhou sitting on a chair eating tea. Liu Miantang dialed the abacus on the counter to record the account, raised her head and memorized the name of the store, turned around, and left quickly.

    He actually didn't go too far. After exiting Wuning Pass, he came to a deserted temple in the countryside and hurried in.

    There are three people sitting on a mat resting in the broken temple, and one is lying down. The visitor said to the middle-aged man who was lying down: "Big... Young Master, I just saw Miss Liu in the street market of Wuning Pass..."

    The man's name was Lu Xian, his leg seemed to be injured, he couldn't stand up for a while, only half-lying on the mat, he half-brought up after hearing this, his eyes suddenly widened, "What did you say? Who did you see?"

    Shenwei Escort's veteran **** Liu Kun gasped desperately and said, "I said I saw the eldest girl's daughter, Liu Miantang."

    Lu Xian listened, his eyes widened: "Nonsense! Didn't Yangshan send a letter saying that Miantang fell into the river... Did he die?"

    Liu Kun said eagerly: "I'm afraid I'm wrong, I just twisted my thigh and looked at it for a long time, Miss Liu looks very much like the eldest girl in our family, there are several people Can you grow up to look like that kind of child?"

    When Lu Xian heard this, his tears burst into tears: "Sister, have you heard in the spirit of heaven that your daughter Miantang is still alive, she is not dead!"

    Excited, he wanted to stand up, but the pain in his leg was so severe that he couldn't stand up straight at all, so he could only hurriedly say: "Then why didn't you recognize Miantang, So that she can come to see me?"

    Liu Kun said: "Today in Wuning Pass, the officers and soldiers all over the street did not know if they came to arrest us. Besides... Miss Liu also held hands with a thousand commander very cordially, I... I don't know at all. Dare to step forward!"

    Lu Xian was also surprised when he heard this: "Did you still recognize the wrong person? Miantang's child is so focused on that son Tzuyu, how could he hold hands with others affectionately?"

    Liu Kun really wanted to pull out his eyeballs and show it to the uncle of the Lu family: "It's true, it's Miss Liu, she's in a pharmacy in the city... It's really not good, I pretended to get the medicine and gave it to Liu The girl sends a letter to let her know that you are here."

    Because Lu Xian knew that his niece was still alive, he was naturally happy, and the discomfort on his body was relieved, but he still did not forget to tell Liu Kun: "When you go to deliver the letter, be careful about everything, Knowing that we are both being chased by Agu Fan's men and horses, and being pursued by King Sui's secret agents, please don't cause any disaster to Miantang's child."

    Liu Kun nodded again and again, took ink cartridges, paper and pens from the luggage package on the side, adjusted the ink, thought about it, and quickly put down a note.
