The happy life of the devil and the devil

a woman.

A woman with a sore throat and unable to speak.

A woman with a throat injury and unable to speak, holding a half-year-old baby.

Ge Shuye had never felt such a headache before.

"...You guys really didn't do anything rude?" For example, go up to tease, touch places that shouldn't be touched, etc...

"Really not!" The subordinates caught by his suspicious eyes raised their hands and swore hastily.Who is so boring in public? If you want to touch it, you have to go to a place where no one is around, right?What's more, this woman is still a master...

"So, you asked her a few questions, and she suddenly said something and stabbed her throat with a hairpin?"

All nodded vigorously.

"Bastard!" Anxiety turned into anger, and Ge Shuye broke out unbearably: "Idiot! She committed suicide, and you just watched? A group of people can't stop a woman? What if it's an assassin, you also follow her!" I said I committed suicide and didn’t stop it? —— Raising a herd of pigs is smarter than you!”

"Yo~~~ Who are you angry with?"

Amidst the stormy reprimand, a completely out of tune voice suddenly came, seven parts rambunctious and three parts frivolous.Ge Shuye turned around with a wry smile, and indeed it was Kang Wang who swayed in, dragged a chair and sat down casually, swept his eyes across the field, and then whistled to the pale-faced woman below.

"She's quite pretty...I said Aye, so you're going to get angry for her? Don't you? Could it be that she hugged the child and touched it in front of His Highness the Princess?" As soon as I said a word, I saw Ge Shuye's wry smile Three points deeper.

"It's okay to touch the princess..." At least the princess believes that this has nothing to do with me, doesn't it?

Before he could finish speaking, Kang Wang had already voluntarily leaned over to rummage through the case.After this incident happened, even if Ge Shuye wanted to take care of any male and female defenses, it would be impossible for his subordinates to search the woman thoroughly.At the moment, there are a lot of things piled up in two or three wooden trays on the case, bronze medals, bloody wooden hairpins with pointed ends, scattered silver and copper coins, several silver and gilt earrings and bracelets, etc. Another thing worth noting is a The hard red paper post with the birth date written on it was carefully folded evenly, and the edges have been worn slightly whitish.

"I don't even have the official guide..." Kang Wang muttered and counted with his fingers, and found that it was probably the child's. He immediately lost interest and threw it on the case: "Let's go, let's go, what are you still doing here?" ? Today is my sister's birthday, do you plan to spend it with this woman?"

Kang Wang's birth mother was originally the next-door cousin of Princess Qinghe's birth mother Yun Guifei. She entered the palace with her cousin, and stayed there for two years as a half-court lady and half-official.After Concubine Yun became pregnant, she asked her cousin to serve Yuan Shao, and soon became pregnant.Later, concubine Yun Guifei was given labor-inducing drugs in the tea she drank, but her cousin accidentally drank it and gave birth to Kang Wang prematurely.Princess Qinghe was born behind King Kang, but she was lively and healthy. Compared with King Kang who was weak and sick as soon as he landed, Concubine Yungui felt somewhat apologetic, so she always took good care of the mother and child.

Even if the wife is not a princess, the crime of "accompanying other women on his wife's birthday" is terrible enough.Ge Shuye's sense of responsibility made him want to struggle a bit: "But I haven't finished asking..." I stayed up late tonight and admitted it, I'm going to return to His Majesty tomorrow, okay.

"Huh... what else do you want to ask? This woman can't speak now, and it doesn't look like she can read. Are you planning to torture or torture or torture?" King Kang went up and dragged people vigorously without any explanation:

"Look, I have dragged the oldest expert investigator in the Ministry of Criminal Justice for you. The man trained by that old fox in the Shen family is absolutely tight-lipped! What do you want to know? What's the name of this woman? Where is she from? The child's father Who is it? How did this woman get here without a guide? If there are any other questions, let him ask slowly... let's go!"

A romantic prince who had never practiced martial arts for a day, unexpectedly dragged away a general who had been practicing martial arts since he was a child.

The reason why a secret becomes a secret is that when you don't want people to know it, everyone who should know it or not should know it.

Seeing Princess Qinghe glance at him with a half smile but not a smile, Ge Shuye had an ominous premonition.

"Lang Jun... I heard that a woman came to the door with a child in her arms today?"

Can you not omit the word "Father Emperor"?Ah, can I?Facing the smiling face of his beloved wife Jiaobo Liuhui, the prince consort really had the urge to vomit blood.

"Yeah, hit your Majesty in the face..." Ge Shuye sat down weakly in front of the dressing table, wrapped his arms around Princess Qinghe's soft waist, put his head on his beloved wife's shoulders, smelled the fragrance of her hair, felt The bones of the whole person were sucked out. .Why wasn't the person who came to the door bumped into by His Majesty?Why is he going to interrogate all parties and deal with the aftermath of this kind of shit?

"Lang Jun..."

"Huh?" muffled voice.

"It's fine if it's someone else's business today. If a woman comes to the door one day with a child in her arms and says it's your child..."

"This is absolutely impossible!" Ge Shuye was shocked, and sat up straight on the spot, almost hugging his wife and swearing to the sky.However, the soft fingertips gently twisted on his forearm, and immediately vented the strength of his bounce:

"Then I don't care if it's really yours or it's fake and disgusting, it will be wiped out, do you hear me?"

"This, this..." It can't be that such a small child...

"Why, reluctant?"

The young princess squinted affectionately, speaking softly and coquettishly.Ge Shuye almost blurted out a "willingness", but finally his head was not completely confused, so he stopped in time and slowly took a long breath:

"You mean...Your Majesty..."

"I don't know what Royal Father thinks. Anyway, if it's me, this woman won't feel better!"

"..." Ge Shuye finally understood why his brother-in-law brought him back.

I was busy in vain before the relationship, right?ah?After working so long with a woman who was destined to be silenced...

On the road from Qingzhou to the capital, a group of cavalry is galloping at full speed.

Hundreds of people are all in black clothes and black armor, they look like a black dragon from a distance, they line up horizontally and vertically, even though they are running fast, the formation is not chaotic at all.One of them was hidden in the center. On the hottest afternoon at the end of June, sweat cascaded down the edge of his helmet. The collar of his military uniform was still buttoned up to his throat. It's not the scorching sun in midsummer, but just a round of warm sun in late spring.

This group of people is Ling Yucheng and his personal guards.Following Yuan Shao's order, Ling Yucheng came straight to the capital with only a hundred personal guards.The nerves of the guards were tense along the way, but Ling Yucheng himself didn't care about it. He should be on the top and set up camp, and he didn't worry about any violent storms when he arrived in the capital.

"My lord... shall we go to Beijing like this?"

"Otherwise?" Ling Yucheng glanced at the speaker. It was Wu Da, the squad leader who had been serving him in daily life. In the position where the food is poisonous or not, I have never worried about it again. Ling Yucheng's heart warmed up, and his voice softened a little:

"We still have to bring big bags to Beijing?"

"My lord!" If he wasn't on horseback, Wu Da would have stamped his feet repeatedly. "This subordinate is saying, is it that the adults simply send troops? Why bother to fight like this with His Majesty!"

Send troops?

The smile on Ling Yucheng's lips faded away bit by bit.

Slowly reining in, he stopped his horse in the shade of a tree beside the road, and the guards immediately formed a circle around him.Ling Yucheng looked around from left to right at these guards who had followed him for at least two or three years, and at most even more than ten years. After a long time, he sighed slowly:

"Send troops now...to fight Dayu and the Northern Camp? Can you do it?"

Can he really do it? That's the former Pao Ze and his brothers.We used to train together, charge together, arm in arm, back to back, shoulder to shoulder.At this moment, the person who is facing you with a knife and a gun used to block the knife and gun that stabbed at your throat for you with a not-so-broad back.

Maybe you saw that familiar face when you cut a knife, maybe you saw that familiar flag when you commanded the siege and strangulation, maybe you camped in the middle of the night and heard the military song sung thousands of times and hundreds of times by the opposite side... Maybe you didn’t think about it. To change the banner you follow, however, just a slight hesitation, it is possible, forever.

If necessary, he can ensure that his own will is strong enough, but he cannot make everyone under his command the same as him.

The price is too heavy, the chances of success are too small.He can't afford to bet.

To make those subordinates who followed him to the country and leave their hometown united as one, even if they waved their knives at their homeland without hesitation, he still needs to wait for one, maybe more than one opportunity, before he can cut off their nostalgia carved into the bone marrow with fire and blood.

Just like him.

That night when they were surprised to hear the flames at the border, the two deduced the battle situation all night long. Yuan Shao once held a paper in his hand and asked with a smile if he was willing to send troops, pointing his sword at Dayu, and fighting for revenge.

At that time, he had a thousand and one hundred reasons to shirk and justify, lack of training, undecided soldiers, and poor command—however, thousands of words were tumbling on the tip of his tongue to the end, but he just bowed his head respectfully to his lord:

"Your Majesty forgive me, I...can't do anything."

The moment he spoke, he stared at the dancing shadow of the candlelight on the map, and felt that his whole body was floating in mid-air, with nowhere to turn and nothing to focus on.Colors, sounds, scents, touches, and even my own existence are at a loss. In the long and maddening silence, the only thing I can feel is that what is bubbling in the blood vessels seems to be no longer blood, but the ice that has not melted for many years on the top of the mountain. ——

It turned out that he couldn't do anything after all.

I don't know how long it has passed, maybe it has been a moment or it has been a thousand years, Yuan Shao's voice finally came from above his head, not much anger, but some interesting exploration.

"Oh...that's straightforward. You don't intend to find other reasons?"

"Chen, I don't want to deceive Your Majesty."

I don't want to hide it from him, and I don't want to have any evasion.Even in the face of thunder and wrath, even if he loses the king's favor from now on, he must reveal his true feelings in front of him without any concealment.

Unexpectedly, after a moment of silence, what shook in my ears was actually a light and carefree laughter.

"If you were able to do it so quickly, I might think you're cold. However, it's rare that you don't find any reason, just tell me the truth—"

The top of the head was gently rubbed twice, and the blood in the whole body flowed back under this touch. When he raised his head, he saw the admiring smile in Yuan Shao's eyes:

"It's very good to serve you with sincerity and loyalty. From now on, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly..."

Memories flashed in my heart, looking around, some of the guards looked firm and indignant, more of them were half nostalgic and half bewildered, Ling Yucheng couldn't help but nodded secretly in his heart, it really wasn't the time to fight Dayu now.Although I haven't talked to these soldiers one by one, the information Xia Bai collected on a daily basis is already evident——

Thinking of this, his thoughts were suddenly interrupted by the sound of horseshoes. Ling Yucheng followed the sound, and the guards on duty outside the woods greeted a small cavalry team. After a little chat, the small team of five people was ushered in. Surrounded by four Jinwu guards, there was a young servant dressed in silk and satin.

"My lord," after bowing his head slightly on the horseback, the eunuch's characteristic high-pitched voice surprised all the guards around Ling Yucheng: "Your Majesty has something to ask your lord——"

Following Yuan Shao's edict handing over a brocade bag, Ling Yucheng unfolded the white silk in the brocade bag, with dripping ink and blood stains on it.Looking carefully line by line, the handwriting on the white silk is weak and weak, with a drop of blood stained between the lines from time to time. I want to see the owner of the handwriting write on the shoulders, and I don’t know how much pain I endured to complete this confession.

"A few days ago, a woman came to the military mansion of the Lord with a child in her arms. His Majesty saw it and asked her who she was looking for. Instead of telling her, she tried to commit suicide. His Majesty asked someone to torture him. In the end, the woman said that she was dispatched to Northern Xinjiang. The daughter of a criminal minister who served your lord before..."

"Your Majesty sent your servants here just to ask your lord if what the woman said is true, and..."

Also, is that half-year-old baby, as the woman said, the flesh and blood of Ling Yucheng?

Ling Yucheng unfolded the confession absently, starting from the beginning.

The whole confession seemed to be impeccable. The person was someone who had served him by his side, and the name and time were all right.Because of his sudden imprisonment, this group of military prostitutes was left without a home, and was released by King Duan, who was ordered to take over the northern Xinjiang camp. Afterwards, he found out that he was two months pregnant.After giving birth, the family couldn't bear it, so they had no choice but to quietly cross the border with the caravan and send the baby to Xuanjiawei's military mansion, hoping that the baby would grow up safely...

However, if you think about it carefully, loopholes and loopholes can be seen almost everywhere.After giving birth, how long does a woman have to recuperate before she can go on the road?Without officials to guide you, how did you cross the border and find the capital all the way when there were beacons everywhere in northern Xinjiang?He didn't dare to report his name, and it's not difficult to casually mention a bodyguard by his side, so why did he commit suicide when Yuan Shao personally intervened?

... There are so many things, he doesn't believe Yuan Shao can't see it.After seeing it, he specially sent a servant to ask, what is Yuan Shao thinking about, and what does he want him to do?

And that edict that didn't mention anything other than the war in Northern Xinjiang...

Analyzing Yuan Shao's possible thoughts over and over again, feeling a little depressed but still unable to suppress it. At the age of 24, he is in charge of 30 frontier troops in northern Xinjiang. What's the big deal about having a few women around him?His Majesty didn't know about it before - he even sent someone to interrogate - it's fine if he sent a courtier, or a servant...

Who the hell does he take me for?

He clearly knew that he was just thinking wildly, but these thoughts were still going round and round in his heart, unable to get rid of them.Ling Yucheng glanced, and saw the guards in a circle staring at the white silk in his hand, most of their faces were filled with anger.My thoughts turned, and I suddenly sneered:

"Your Majesty asked you to ask me this?"

Putting the white silk in his hand back into the kit bag, he raised his hand without warning, and threw a slap in the face to the servant standing in front of him respectfully:

"He might as well ask me, how many people were killed when I was in Northern Xinjiang!"

Without waiting for the dumbfounded servant to react, he clamped the horse's belly with both knees, and galloped out:

"Go! Go back to Qingzhou!"

The author has something to say: Xiao Ling, how much you love His Majesty... You actually confessed to him, okay?

Ps:

Sad

You don't love me anymore T_T

I've written so much so hard, I can't see any response
