Datang Fenghua Road

A soldier was full of curiosity and asked in a low voice, "Captain, it's already two o'clock in the morning. How come your Majesty and the Empress will leave the city overnight? I've been on a job for five years, and I've never heard of such a thing..."

The captain of the warrior looked out of the city and murmured, "Tiance Mansion, Your Majesty and the Empress are going to Tiance Mansion. It is an earth-shattering event for the princess to have a child!"

He suddenly raised his feet and ran, shouting: "Wait here to guard the city gate, I will go to Zuo Wuwei to report, the city gate is opened at night, and according to the law, Zuo Wuwei is required to come and garrison, we are just guarding the city. , no one can afford to be blamed if something goes wrong."

All the soldiers were awe-inspiring, and hurriedly lined up around the city gate, carefully staring at the city and outside the city, and that posture was not allowed to let a bird go.

At this moment, I heard the sound of horses' hoofs. There were more than a dozen knights on the street in the city.

Clang Lang Lang——

The soldiers pulled out their big swords directly, and one person shouted: "The curfew is about to be late at night, and you have to leave the city at this time, do you have a ghost?"

There was a long laugh on the opposite side, and the horse stepped forward and said lightly: "Wait and see who I am!"

It turned out to be Hou Junji. The one riding next to him was Hou Haitang, who was holding a baby, and the dozen or so knights behind him were the Hou family's personal soldiers.

The soldiers blocked the door with knives, and said sternly: "No matter who you are, you are not allowed to leave the city tonight. Your Majesty and the niece have just passed the frame. The general is out of the city at this time. Do you want to assassinate the king?"

The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were so loyal, even though they knew that they were the Minister of War and the six leaders of the imperial court, they still mustered up the courage to stop them.

Hou Junji nodded slowly, and said with admiration, "As expected of the city gate order, the loyalty is admirable. Unfortunately, you shouldn't stop me, the Prince Zhao of the West Palace is about to come out, this book is to drink lightly, not for any other purpose!"

He didn't wait for the soldiers to speak, and continued: "Wait a minute, this book is only the first one, it won't take long for all the princes and princes in the city to leave the city, I'm afraid this gate is very busy tonight, can you stop me? I, Hou Jun, gather only one person, can I stop ten people and a hundred people?"

A soldier mustered his courage and said, "I haven't received the warrant, even if the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty want to leave the city, they have to stop at the door obediently..."

"Haha, well said!" A loud laugh suddenly sounded in the distance, but seeing a carriage roaring coming, Duke Yi Qin Qiong stood on the carriage and laughed continuously, nodding and saying, "If you do your best, this general will reward you. !"

While speaking, the frame was already in front of him, and the soldiers quickly bowed their hands and said in unison, "My commander has seen General Zuo Wuwei."

Chang'an has Zuo Wuwei and You Wuwei, Qin Qiong is the general of Zuo Wuwei, and the guards of the four gates of Chang'an are all subject to his temperance, and these guards are also counted as his subordinates.

Hou Junji watched with a cold eye, and suddenly said with a smile: "Is second brother going to leave the city tonight? Why don't you go on horseback, but come on a bicycle frame instead."

Qin Qiong laughed, stretched out her hand and pointed to the inside of the carriage, and said lightly, "I chose to take the car because my family followed!"

Hou Junji's face turned solemn, and he hurriedly cupped his hands: "It turns out that the two sisters-in-law are going to leave the city, so Hou Junji is polite." He bowed solemnly, but then said to Qin Qiong: "Second brother, let the city gate be released. , the frame of your majesty and the goddess has passed, we can't be too far behind..."

Qin Qiong nodded slowly, her eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of Hou Haitang next to her, and then looked at the swaddle that Hou Haitang was holding in her arms, and pondered, "You are here, why are you still holding a baby?"

"This is the eldest son of King Mianbi, who has just been born at the moment of Xu. My daughter is the princess of King Mianbi, and now she has taken this eldest son to her knees. It's just because Your Majesty and the empress are in a hurry, they have never seen the eldest grandson of the fourth generation of the royal family, so I hugged him overnight. I want to let your Majesty and the Empress meet you along with me!"

Qin Qiong sighed softly and said with deep meaning: "The baby girl who was just born has to run around with the adults, how pitiful this child is..."

Without waiting for Hou Junji to speak, he turned around and ordered the guards at the gate: "Wait, guard the gate carefully. If there are nobles and nobles who want to leave the city, they only need to register and don't need to stop them."

"Here!" The soldiers answered their orders and turned sideways to open the city gate.

Qin Qiong glanced at Hou Junji and pointedly said: "Junji, you are riding on a horse, but for my brother, you are riding on a bicycle frame. Although our roads are the same, we are destined to not be able to walk together. You go first."

What he said was very explicit. He used horse riding and riding a car as a metaphor, but in fact it alluded to the positions of the two sides in the struggle for imperial power.Hou Junji is destined to belong to Li Chengqian's faction, and Qin Qiong is destined to belong to Han Yue's faction.

Hou Junji seemed helpless, he bowed his hands respectfully, put his legs on his horse's belly, and led people out of the city gate.

But listening to the sound of horses' hooves, the Hou family's dozen or so horses disappeared into the night in a blink of an eye.

Until then, Qin Qiong's frame door curtain was suddenly lifted, and Zhang Ziyan said with anger: "Master, why do you have to talk to Hou Junji, and ask me to find an opportunity to kill him directly, so as not to give my uncle a slap in the face from time to time. Medicine. Hmph, this man doesn't remember his old feelings. It's a pity that I led troops to help him get out of trouble. If I knew about today, I shouldn't have rescued him at that time..."

Qin Qiong slowly shook his head and sighed: "At that time, it was Paoze, so naturally I wanted to help each other. Now it's a stranger, so it's naturally difficult to walk together."

Zhang Ziyan still wanted to speak, but was held down by Qin Qiong's wife in the carriage, and she scolded warmly, "You are no longer a general of the Detachment of Women, and some words must not be said nonsensely. My Qin family. Sister Ziyan, you can fight head-to-head in wars, but not in court affairs!"

"Alright, alright, elder sister Guan will boost other people's ambitions!" Zhang Ziyan angrily pulled down the curtain and said hurriedly, "Master, let's move the frame quickly, we are in-laws, it's not good to go late."

Qin Qiong nodded and ordered the coachman to drive the carriage, but he sat down with his knees crossed in front of the carriage and did not enter the carriage.

The horse's hoofs rumbled, and in a blink of an eye, it left the city gate. From there, it was about ten miles away from Tianjiazhuang. The driver waved his whip vigorously, and the carriage ran fast.

But no matter how fast the carriage was, it couldn't be faster than horseback riding. Just as it was about to reach Tianjiazhuang, he heard the roar of hoofs behind him. There were dozens of riders directly overtaking Qin's carriage. Riding directly, the big guy got the news later than you, but we will arrive first, and we are destined to arrive earlier than you, ahahaha!"

Qin Qiong looked up, but saw Cheng Yaojin, Li Ji, Liu Hongji, Chai Shao, Changsun Wuji... In addition to the princes who were close to Han Yue, there were also many neutral royals. , Obviously everyone just got the news, so they got together and came together.

Qin Qiong was a little curious and said, "You came alone or two without your family? When the little prince is born, it is proper ceremony to bring his family, otherwise, what is the best thing about the family?"

Lao Cheng smiled and said proudly: "Of course I brought my family, but the girls are too slow to travel by car, so I will leave them behind and walk slowly, only the second brother, you are the stupidest, accompanied by two sisters-in-law in a bumpy ride, ah Hahaha……"

The surrounding princes also laughed wickedly, and Liu Hongji, the prince of Kui, said: "Could it be that the second brother was beaten by Ziyan's sister-in-law again, so he obediently accompanied him in the car?"

Old Qin Qiong blushed, and Zhang Ziyan in the carriage let out a "bah", and scolded with a smile: "Liu Hongji, when I'm done with my sister-in-law for tonight, I'll make you regret what you just said."

Everyone laughed and said this, and they entered Tianjiazhuang in a blink of an eye, and soon arrived at the gate of Tiance Mansion.

Chapter 419 The gift of the Han girl makes people sad

The night is blurred, the autumn wind is refreshing, a bright moon hangs high in the sky, sprinkles the bright moonlight, and smears the entire earth in silver.

At this time, the Tiance Mansion was already buzzing with people, several teams of guards were walking back and forth, and a dozen Baiqisi warriors were guarding the door, and a group of plainly dressed little girls sat chattering at the door.

The public glances swept away and immediately recognized that these little girls were Han women rescued from the grasslands. Now that half a year has passed, the textile workshop is about to be completed, and the Han women have all moved to the banks of the Weishui River and are waiting to be recruited.

"Hey, you soldier is really unreasonable, we want to pray for the princess, why are you not allowed to enter?"

All the men and women sat at the door and chattered, and a young girl in the lead pinched her waist and argued with Bai Qisi, and said angrily with a small face: "Although the palace should be heavily guarded, we are also half of the family of the palace. Do you know, warrior? Back then, the prince married 8 of us in the grassland, and the palace was considered our home, so why not allow everyone to enter?"

The hundred cavalry warriors did not dare to stand against her, and they only kept explaining: "This is His Majesty's order. Tonight, the princess will give birth to a child, and the idle people are not allowed to enter the door..."

"I'm not an idler!" The little girl was a little annoyed, and for some reason, a blush quietly flashed across her face, and she said loudly: "My name is Liu Xiaomei, and I served the prince to bed on the grassland. Sister Doudou once let me enter Mansion, the Empress also rewarded me with a bracelet."

The little girl suddenly took out a jade bracelet from her bosom, held it up in front of the Baiqisi warrior and said angrily: "You can see clearly, this is the queen's reward..."

This little sister Liu was a Han girl from the Turkic Shepherd Department. Han Yue lived in their tent that night. Taking advantage of Han Yue's drunkenness, Miss Liu's sister stripped off her trousers and pressed them to Han Yue's side.

Han Yue was also crazy that night, poking the little girl while he was hungover.

It's a pity that despite the relationship between husband and wife, Liu Xiaomei has gradually become filthy. After returning to Chang'an from the grassland, Doudou let her in several times, but the little girl just avoided each time.

Hundreds of knights are in control of the world, and they naturally recognize who the little girl in front of them is. Everyone can only keep rubbing their noses and smiling bitterly, whispering, "If you go in by yourself, you will be fine, but you can't do it if you bring a group of Han girls in, tonight, my lord. Concubine Zheng gives birth, we have to be careful."

Liu Xiaomei bit her lip, turned and pointed at the group of little girls behind her, and asked with a voice: "Look at us, everyone is poor, but everyone heard that the prince will have children, so let's take our own wealth with us. Come, this is a piece of mind, why are you not allowed to enter the door?"

The warriors of the Hundred Knights were a little ashamed. They had seen many Han women with gifts in their hands, and that gift made them both emotional and sad.

However, there are some Han women holding a hen in their arms, and some Han women carrying a basket in their hands.

Today, the textile workshop has not yet started, and the Han women are gathered together to barely survive. The hens are raised by themselves, and the wild fruits are picked by themselves. However, they are poor and have no spare money in their hands.

Liu Xiaomei begged bitterly: "Tonight are all clean girls, and none of the Han women and sisters who have been ruined are here. We are just here to send a message, and we want to see the prince's son and heir to pray for him."
