Han Dao world

As if Ma Yunlu had been scalded, he withdrew his hand abruptly and bowed in salute.

"I'm rude, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Liu Xie rested Fushou's head with one hand, held Fushou's hand with the other, led her out of the car, and said indifferently: "You care about the queen, it's natural, what's your crime?"

Seeing Ma Yunlu's expression, Fu Shou was also a little panicked, and bowed to apologize.

Liu Xie smiled. "The journey is long and the weather is cold. The Queen has worked so hard all the way. She must be tired. Let's go back to the camp with me and eat a hot mutton hot pot, and I'll be fine."

"Wei." Fu Shou didn't know what to say, so he could only nod in agreement.

"You guys come too, call Zhao Changshi." Liu Xie said to Ma Yunlu.

Ma Yunlu was a little distracted, dazed for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty, this... I'm afraid it's not proper etiquette."

"Three generations have different etiquette." Liu Xie said: "Let's be honest, I don't have a lot of money, and I don't want to slaughter a few more sheep, and eat them together. I can save a little bit."

Ma Yunlu's cheeks twitched twice, he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to, he bit his lip in response, and turned to look for Zhao Yun.

Xun Yun and Fu Ya are beside them, so there is no need to greet them deliberately.He arched his hands, watched the emperor slowly walk forward holding the hand of the queen, and asked softly about the situation on the way, he couldn't help sighing secretly.

The emperor came out to greet him in person, and made it clear that he wanted to tell everyone that even if his younger sister Wen Qian gave birth to a prince for him, the status of the empress would still be unshakable.Only the queen is the official wife, and no one else can sit on an equal footing with the queen.

To some extent, this is a good thing, and it is also the result that his father Xun Yu hoped for.

But seeing this scene with his own eyes, he was still somewhat unbalanced.What does Langya Fu have?The biggest use is that it is useless.The Son of Heaven is the hero, and he doesn't want his relatives to be powerful, and the useless Langya Fu clan is the most ideal relative.

Cao Ang came over, bowed hands with Xun Yun, and walked side by side.

Xun Yun looked at Cao Ang, quite surprised.I haven't seen him for a year, but Cao Ang has grown a lot taller, with a slightly dark complexion, flushed cheeks, and a strong body. He has no resemblance to his father Cao Cao, and he looks like a Northwest man.

"Zixiu, why are you... so tall?"

"I don't know either." Cao Ang said softly, "Maybe as the emperor said, there is meat and milk."

Xun Yun shook his head, hesitant to speak.

-

Walking all the way back to the imperial camp, Liu Xie led Fu Shou into the arranged tent.The queen alone led a tent, which was very big, almost like a royal tent, with a camp couch inside, a brand new bedding covered with a huge snow-white bearskin.

Fu Shou glanced at it and couldn't help exclaiming. "My God, there is such a big white bear?"

"This bear skin is said to come from the extreme north." Liu Xie said with some pride: "It was just brought here by a tribe on the grassland, and it is probably the only one of the big man."

"Then... how dare I use it?" Fu Shou was both surprised and delighted.

"Dare to use, dare to use." Liu Xie patted Fushou's little hand with a smile. "Just pay attention to drinking more tea. This thing is very hot and easy to get angry. You wash up, and someone will come to see you later."

Fu Shou happily agreed, and asked the maid to come in to serve.

There was a firepit in the tent, and it was still warm. Fu Shou changed out the layers of winter clothes and freshened up.Liu Xie sat aside, watching Fushou change his clothes.Not seeing each other for two years, Fu Shou has grown up, curvaceous.In the past two years, the east of the river has been stable, and the queen's diet has been guaranteed. Her delayed growth has finally begun, even a bit of vengeful growth.

Although Fu Shou turned his back to Liu Xie, he could feel Liu Xie's eyes on her, a little shy, but more proud. Although his gestures were jerky, they had their own charm.

After finishing his makeup and drawing his eyebrows, Fu Shou came shyly in front of Liu Xie. "Your Majesty, is this eyebrow... alright?"

Liu Xie glanced at it and then smiled.

Fu Shouhua's makeup has a clear Central Plains style, gorgeous and even weird, especially the eyebrows, which are short and thick, which is the so-called wide eyebrows.Wide eyebrows are not suitable for girls, they are eyebrows used by women.Although Fu Shou is also a woman, after all, she is only sixteen years old, and her wide eyebrows are not good-looking.

"You have been walking all the way, have you never seen the eyebrows of the female battalion knights?" Liu Xie said, rolled up his sleeves, took the eyebrow pencil from the maid, and motioned Fushou to sit down, and carefully wiped off the eyebrows. Wide eyebrows, and then draw slender crescent eyebrows for her.

His movements are very familiar, and he does it in one go.

Fu Shou looked at the bronze mirror, looked at his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "How can I, my concubine, get Your Majesty to draw eyebrows?"

"Zhang Chang can do it, why can't I do it." Liu Xie lowered his eyebrow pencil. "If you like it, I will draw your eyebrows for you every day from now on."

"Don't dare." Fu Shou bowed and said: "Your Majesty cares about the world, and should be the most important thing for the state. How can you take care of the thrush in the boudoir. Your Majesty's love for my concubine, I will remember it in my heart, and I dare not be presumptuous."

Liu Xie went down the donkey. "Young Fu's tutor is good, I like it very much, and I will award it immediately."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty, please take care of yourself. After the concubine finishes washing, I will serve you."

Liu Xie nodded, got up and left the queen's tent, and returned to his imperial tent.The queen has just arrived, and there will be many people coming to see her today, so it is not appropriate for him to stay there all the time.He didn't care if there would be an open and secret fight between Xun Wenqian and Fushou.

As long as he makes up his own mind, that little incident won't affect the overall situation.With the identities of Xun Wenqian and Fushou, they wouldn't be forced to the point of disregarding decency.

Liu Xie sat down and ordered people to call Fu Ya and Xun Yun who escorted Fu Shoulai, asked about the situation on the road, and then worshiped them as servants to assist in handling official documents.

Now that there are more and more affairs, especially academic research takes up a lot of Cai Yan's time, and the daily official documents need someone to assist in handling them, and Fu Ya and Xun Yun are just right.

"The conditions in the frontier fortress are simple, not as good as in the Central Plains, and simplicity is the top priority. You must get used to riding horses as soon as possible, and get used to the climate of this northern border. If you don't understand anything, you can ask other colleagues for advice, don't be self-righteous."

"Wei." Fu Ya and Xun Yun agreed in unison.

Cao Ang pushed the account and entered, and sent a gift list to Liu Xie. "Your Majesty, Kebi can ask to see you."

Liu Xie glanced down. "Arrange him to stay and let him wait for two days. The Empress just arrived today, and I have to welcome the Empress, so I don't have time to see him. You can accompany him these two days and take him around."

With a cry, Cao Ang backed out.

Xun Yun thought about it. "Your Majesty, dare to ask, is this Ke Bineng the Xianbei Marshal who was in Daijun?"

Liu Xie looked at Xun Yun with puzzled eyes.

"I heard that this person is a Xianbei hero, and I have long wanted to meet him. If His Majesty allows, I would like to learn about the affairs of the grassland with Cao Shilang."

Liu Xie's eyes flickered slightly, and he nodded in agreement.

Chapter 487

Xun Yun went out of the tent, caught up with Cao Ang, and conveyed the emperor's oral order.

Cao Ang was not surprised at all.

"Can Kebi come here often?" Xun Yun asked.

"I don't come here often, after all, it's been less than a year since he moved here." Cao Ang thought for a while, and then said: "If you don't count envoys, this should be the first time I've seen you."

"You came in such a hurry to ask for relief?" Xun Yun was a little worried.

When he encountered heavy snow on the road, he was thinking about this problem.One of the conditions for the Xianbei people to accept the court's appeasement was that they would receive relief in case of disaster.As far as the states and counties currently controlled by the imperial court are concerned, there is actually not much food for the Xianbei people.

Although the harvests in Hedong and Guanzhong are good this year, they have limited household registration and cannot afford much grain.Especially in Hedong, in addition to supplying the emperor, he is also responsible for the supply of military food in northern Xinjiang, which is actually very tight.

What's more, before the relief of the Xianbei people on the grassland, there are still people in the Bingliang frontier fortress who need relief.

"On the one hand, the relief is more about vassalization." Cao Ang briefly explained the news about the wolf riding that he had received recently.Xun Yun is eager to do things, of course he must first understand the situation.As Xun Yun's partner, he can help a little.

Xun Yun was very surprised.Lu Bu led a hundred cavalry out of the fortress, and he could achieve such a result?In this way, Ke Bi can come here in person, asking for relief is not the main task, and saying that surrender is the key.

"True elites are one against ten." Cao Ang said with a bit of envy. "Huang Yi was lucky. He was admitted to the student camp within a few months of arriving in Liangzhou. After only a few months of study in the student camp, he was appointed as the long history of the wolf rider. He never fails, and the sky rises straight up."

Xun Yun looked at Cao Ang and couldn't help laughing, "Do you think this is a good opportunity?"

"Of course. Don't you think so?"

Xun Yun smiled and said nothing.He escorted the queen all the way north, and he was already tossed by the bitter cold in Liangzhou.In other words, wolf riding out of the fortress to fight is a narrow escape.Huang Yi did this out of helplessness, so what is there to envy?

The two came to Ke Bineng and greeted each other.

Upon hearing Xun Yun's name, Ke Bineng's expression changed slightly, and he asked, "What is your relationship with General Xun Gongda?"

Xun Yun said with a smile, "He is my elder brother."

"I see." Ke Bi Neng looked Xun Yun up and down, and nodded repeatedly. "I have heard for a long time that the Xun family in Yingchuan is very talented. Now that I see it, it is indeed well-deserved. Brother Xun is now guarding the emperor, and his future is limitless."

He ordered someone to take out a short knife and put it in front of Xun Yun with both hands. "This is the weapon of a great country in the Western Regions in my collection. The workmanship is quite exquisite. I hope Brother Xun will not dislike it."

Xun Yun was a little surprised and looked at Cao Ang.Cao Ang nodded calmly, motioning for Xun Yun to accept.As the emperor's close servants, they often receive similar small gifts.It's just that Xun Yun has a brother like Xun You to support him, so the gifts he received are also very precious.

This short knife is inlaid with gold and jade, with exquisite workmanship, and it is very valuable at first glance.

Xun Yun took it away, pulled out the short knife to look at it carefully, and tried the edge with his fingers, and couldn't help secretly praising it.

Look at this edge, it is actually sharper than the weapon made by the Iron Officer of Hedong.The intricate pattern on the blade is even more exquisite than I have ever seen before, and I don't know how it was made.

"The commander-in-chief said just now that this is a weapon of a great country in the Western Regions?"

"Exactly."

"Is there a big country in the Western Regions?" Xun Yun looked puzzled.

"Yes, but it's far away and unknown to the Han people." Ke Bi Neng smiled, with a little complacency. "Of course, compared with the big man, maybe it's not that big, at most it's on par with the big man."

"Really?" Xun Yun became interested and bowed his hands in greeting. "Yun Chu is here for the first time, and I hope the commander-in-chief will give me some advice."

Ke Bi Neng hits the nail on the head.

He knew that there was a gentleman named Xunyou beside the emperor, who was Xunyou's younger sister.This young man is also Xun You's younger brother, maybe he is that Xun Guiren's brother.Being able to become friends with such a person was an opportunity he longed for, so he gave him his treasured weapon as soon as they met.

Xun Yun took the initiative to ask for advice, and he couldn't ask for it.

Ke Bi Neng invited Xun Yun and Cao Ang to be seated, and took out another gift and gave it to Cao Ang.Seeing Cao Ang and Xun Yun getting close, he knew that this young man was also different, so he didn't dare to neglect, and the gift he gave was also very expensive.

Cao Ang first conveyed the edict of the emperor, asking Ke Bi Neng to wait for two days, and then arranged for him to camp.Taking advantage of the opportunity of camping, the two asked Ke Bi Neng about the situation in the Western Regions.

Kebi can tell all the news he has inquired in the past six months.

Xun Yun was fascinated by what he heard. Cao Ang listened for a while, but realized that what Ke Bineng said was not true.As for whether he has limited knowledge or did it on purpose, it's hard to say.Ke Bineng just moved here from Daijun area, so it's understandable that he doesn't know the situation.

In short, most of what Kebi can understand is hearsay, or even speculation, as if he was fooled by profiteers like Anthony.As a close servant of the emperor, Cao Ang knew very well how good a profiteer like Anthony was at lying in order to monopolize business routes.Before being questioned and exposed by the emperor, Anthony was almost invincible, and no one ever doubted him.

After all, everyone has never seen what the Western Regions look like.

Half of Fu Luohan's death in battle was because he was deceived by Anthony's mouth.

If nothing else, Ke Bineng will be next.

-

After saying goodbye to Ke Bineng and returning to the imperial camp, Xun Yun was immersed in the vastness of the Western Regions, which surprised Cao Ang.

Cao Ang has always admired Xun Yu and Xun Yun, and regards Xun Yun as his elder brother and best friend.He was happy for a while when he learned that Xun Yun was here, and felt that he could get along with Xun Yun day and night again, so he asked Xun Yun for advice.

But now, he felt that Xun Yun was a little naive, and he believed in what Ke Bineng said.

Cao Ang didn't want to say it, so as not to hurt Xun Yun's self-esteem.But when he thought that Xun Yun might speak to the emperor, he couldn't help reminding: "Changqian, Hu Lu is cunning, what he says is false and true, you can't believe it."

"I know." Xun Yun nodded with a smile. "He tried to exaggerate the strength of the countries in the Western Regions. He just wanted to form an alliance with me and fight against powerful enemies. It is understandable that he is not true. But his understanding of the Western Regions really opened my eyes."

"Hmm." Cao Ang coughed: "Changqian, your guess is naturally good, but don't forget that Ke Bineng has only been here for less than half a year, and most of the information he knows has not been verified."

Xun Yun was startled slightly. "You mean, he didn't necessarily exaggerate on purpose, but was deceived?"

Cao Ang nodded. "Hearsay is prone to corruption. Most of the people who often come and go on the grassland are businessmen. In order to make profits, they hardly have a few truths in their mouths. They can cheat as much as they can."

"Then are there any big countries in the Western Regions?"

"I don't know if there is a big country, but I know that Xianbei was once very powerful. Back then, Tan Shihuai was so arrogant that he refused to make a marriage. Now, he was defeated by our Han army's cavalry in two battles, and the wind has disappeared since then." Cao Ang said lightly: "Western Region If there is really a big country that can rival my big man, it must be beyond the blade of Pohuhou (Chen Tang) and Dingyuanhou (Ban Chao), and it is definitely not what Ke Bineng needs to worry about right now."

Xun Yun couldn't help laughing. "Zi Xiu is domineering."

Chapter 488

Ke Bi Neng stood at the door of the tent, watching Cao Ang and Xun Yun gradually move away, frowning slightly.

He could tell that the boy named Cao Ang didn't really believe his words.

"Master." Ke Zui walked over.

"Who is that Cao Ang?" Ke Bineng raised his chin.

Ke Zui took a look. "I heard that he is the eldest son of Yanzhou Mu Cao Cao, who went to the emperor's side as a hostage."

"Cao Cao?" Ke Bi Neng frowned, then shook his head again. "I haven't heard of it. Next time you have a chance, you can ask Yan Rou to see if he knows this person. But this Cao Ang is not simple, he is very cautious and not easy to deceive."

Ke Zui withdrew his gaze and looked at Ke Bineng with some worry. "Marshal, the people around the emperor of the Han family are not very easy to deceive, but the person who is the most difficult to deceive is the emperor of the Han family. If you intend to deliberately deceive, you may be in trouble."

Ke Bi Neng turned his head to look at Ke Zui, as if he wanted to say something, his lips moved, and he swallowed back what he wanted to say.He turned around to return the bill, ordered someone to serve milk tea again, and took a big sip.

"Have you gotten used to it, Commander?" Ke Zui followed in.

"I'm used to it." Ke Bineng took another sip with complicated eyes. "Not only have I gotten used to it, but I still can't live without it. I feel uncomfortable in my mouth if I don't drink it for a day. There is no tea on the grassland. What will I do in the future?"

"Mutual market." Ke Zui sat down opposite Ke Bineng, and poured himself a large cup of milk tea. "Marshal, the current emperor of the Han family is different from any previous emperor, even from those Han officials. He is willing to open up the trade market instead of seeing the trade market as a favor. As long as we are sincere If you do business with sincerity, he will not refuse."

"Talk about it carefully, and I'll be prepared."

"Okay." Ke Zui sat down cross-legged, and tapped a little on the ground with his finger. "This is where the Son of Heaven is." Then several concentric circles were drawn. "This is Liangzhou, this is Shanxi, this is Shandong..."

"Wait." Ke Bi Neng interrupted Ke Zui. "You're not just from Liangzhou, are you? It seems that the grassland where we are is included."
