Tang Xuan

The rain in Weicheng is light and dusty, and the guest house is green and new.

Advise Jun to make a glass of wine even more, and there is no reason for him to go out of Yangguan.

Yangguan, for the Dunhuang city behind it, inevitably looks much older.But the defenders showed their arrogance, each of them was like a sharp sword that could be drawn at any time, this kind of military appearance made Meng Shen startled.

Princess Gucheng was saying goodbye to Li Qian.The beauty with red makeup, shed tears and heartbroken.

How could Lang Huai have the heart to disturb her?Had to leave with a sigh.At this moment, what worried her more was Mingda.

Mingda could no longer follow them and had to go back.The Emperor Ming's previous secret decree also said the same thing. When they arrived at Yangguan, Lang Huai would mobilize elites to send Mingda back to Beijing in secret. There must be no mistakes.

Going around layers of guards, Lang Huai walked up to the carriage, seeing that Ming Da was also dressed in red, looking so handsome, he was overjoyed at first, and then couldn't hide his disbelief.She suppressed her chaotic thoughts and walked over step by step.

Seeing Lang Huai approaching from a distance, she was not as tall and strong as those soldiers, she appeared thin among a group of mighty imperial guards.However, she was dressed in bright light armor, the pure Jun sword hanging on her waist, and the admiration expressions of these unruly soldiers were enough to prove her identity.

She approached against the light, with a doting smile on her lips, and a rare bit of bitterness in her eyes.These days, when the two of them face each other day by day, Lang Huai will always reveal astringent feelings unintentionally, which makes Mingda puzzled.

After thinking about it, only the secret she mentioned before could make this person like this.However, Mingda racked his brains and couldn't figure out what this man was hiding from her to torture her to such an extent.

She wanted to ask, but was always reluctant.

Subconsciously, Mingda was also afraid—afraid that the secret would destroy the bond between the two that they had so hard to get.So she had no choice but to pretend not to know, waiting for Lang Huai to speak, and for the verdict to arrive.

Just as he was thinking wildly, Lang Huai had already walked to her side.She said in a deep voice: "Sis, go back to Chang'an and practice your sword well. The Celestial Master once said that the root of your illness is gone. From now on, take care of yourself and your body will be as usual."

Looking into her eyes, Lang Huai finally couldn't restrain the surging emotion in his chest, and hugged her into his arms.The armor on the chest was pressed against the girl's cheeks, and Lang Huai's careful voice sounded in his ears: "When it's cold, remember to add clothes and eat moderately. Even if you're bored, don't go out to play without a guard. Drinking Not more..."

"I'll make a note of it." With her treating her like this, how could Mingda have the heart to inquire again?She rarely said softly: "Brother Huai, you... you should come back earlier."

Lang Huai exerted a little force on his arm, and hugged Mingda tighter.Her nose smelled good, and she couldn't help but close her eyes.That sentence was on her lips, she wanted to tell her without any scruples.

However, the deeper the affection, how can you give up?In the end, thousands of words became one sentence.

"Go back to Chang'an, wait for me to come back." Lang Huai let go of his hands, nodded to Lan Jun, took the reins and got on the horse, looked at Mingda carefully, shouted in his mouth, turned around and left ruthlessly.

Then the years faded, Mingda came to Yangguan again, stood on the top of the city and waited quietly.Tao Jun, who was following him, swore: "My master said, Anxi's affairs are settled, and she will definitely go to the appointment on time. She will definitely arrive at dusk. The girl should go down and wait? The wind is too strong here, and the girl is hurt, and the master is still sad."

Mingda shook his head and waited stubbornly.After dusk, there was only the moonlight in the world, and she couldn't wait any longer, so she went out to look for it all night.

I never thought that I couldn't wait for her anymore.

The convoy of Heqin drove out slowly, and gradually disappeared into the horizon, out of sight.Li Qian stood at the top of the city with his hands behind his back, unaware that a group of people had quietly left Yangguan and returned to Chang'an.

Gucheng left, really had to leave him.Since the death of Concubine Xu Xian, Li Qian and Gucheng have basically depended on each other for life.Gucheng is smart and sensible, and when he gets older, he keeps running around for Li Qian's affairs.He loves and respects his sister.

Therefore, it has to be used.

Li Qian squinted his eyes to watch the convoy go away, stood there for a long time, and finally let out a low, inaudible sigh.Gucheng married Tubo Zanpu far away, and if he fails in the future, she will not be implicated.Compared with the bitter cold of the Tibetans, at least they survived.However, this thought was concealed by his behavior of wooing Tubo.

Walking down Yangguan, Li Qian is His Highness King Huai who calls the wind and rain in Chang'an City again.This month's delay, he still has to go back to deal with government affairs, so he can't think about it any more.

Chang'an, if he knew the dangers of human affairs, he shouldn't have been born in the emperor's family!

After leaving Yangguan, Lang Huai had to cheer up.The mansion newspaper received the day before yesterday said that the escort army sent by Xue Hua would meet her in the next few days, but it was Lin Xian who led the army.

It seemed that Xue Hua's old fox was thinking far enough, Lang Huai was planning the situation of Tubo in his mind, knowing that Lang Shixuan would arrive half a month earlier than her, so naturally he made a lot of preparations.And these two days, as long as I meet Lin Xian, the news I have been waiting for for a year will have the result.

"Master, report back from the scouts. There is only a small village in front, with only a dozen households in total. But it is about to go down, so how about a shelter?" Lang Huai was thinking, when Tao Jun came from the front, interrupting her train of thought .

"Let's just leave it there. Let the princess make room for a clean room, and I'll talk about it." Tatuo Tu couldn't stand the high fever outside the Great Wall, so he hid in the carriage early and pretended to be sick, leaving all matters big and small to Lang Huai.Even if there is Wang Xiong under him, Lang Huai has to go in person to deal with Gucheng.

After wiping off his sweat, Lang Huai turned his horse and drove to the princess carriage.Walking nearby, Lang Huai slowed down his horse, followed slowly, and said loudly, "Is Your Highness here?"

I saw a girl lift the curtain of the car, revealing half of her body, and said, "What's the matter with Captain Lang?"

Lang Huai recognized her as Yingfeng, Gucheng's personal maid, and he basically dealt with her on weekdays, so he said, "It's not early at this time, so it's not suitable to drive at night. But there is only a small village in front, which is very simple. I don't know Can Your Highness be wronged for a night?"

Yingfeng went in to inquire, came out after a while, and said with a smile: "It's arranged by the captain, our princess is not a person who can't bear hardships."

"I would have known His Highness was kind, so please tell Your Highness, thank you. We still have half an hour to arrive, so let's say goodbye." Lang Huai rode back and found that Lin Xian had already arrived at the small village in front of him, so he couldn't help being even more happy.

The village was small, and when he arrived, Lang Huai had already seen Lin Xian's [-] soldiers camped outside the village.

Lin Xian renewed his short beard, came up to meet him from a distance, and said with a big laugh, "Ah Huai! I haven't seen you in a year, so don't come here!"

Lang Huai tapped his toes lightly, and Tayun stepped forward quickly.When she got close, she rolled and fell off the horse, thumped Lin Xian's shoulder twice, and said, "I'm all right, I heard third brother said that you're married too, but who is the sister-in-law?"

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Lang Huai said, "How could General Xue be willing to send you? Anxi is so busy with affairs, I appreciate it a lot."

Lin Xian said with a smile: "This is my pleading, you don't know what those brothers are fighting for, but I snatched the job. Haha, just think about it!"

"That being the case, let's continue the conversation tonight." Lang Huai didn't play tricks with him, and said bluntly, "You go to the tent and wait."

Accompanying Gucheng to the improvised earthen house, Lang Huai himself felt a little guilty.Fortunately, the people who came earlier cleaned it up. Lang Huai said embarrassedly: "Your Highness has been wronged, and the last general has neglected his duty."

Gu Cheng waited for his maid to tidy up inside, stood up pretty, tilted his head to look at her, looked at her for a long time, and said: "Captain, if I can't bear these hardships, how will I live in the future? I just looked at her." That means the escort army from the Anxi Protectorate Mansion has arrived. Captain, go get busy."

Lang Huai didn't expect Gu Cheng to say these words, but fortunately she was always alert, so she answered silently, and ordered Wang Xiong to resettle the Tubo people. First.

It was still the same tent used by the Zhengxi Army at the beginning, and the bonfire outside had already been lit, with a sheep on it.Lin first changed into a coarse cloth robe and waited for Lang Huai inside.

"It's really a rich man, but now that you're dressed up, I don't dare to recognize you." Lin Xian saw that Lang was wearing a gauze robe with a piece of white jade hanging around his waist, and his breath was different from before, so he couldn't help joking.If she heard her laughing and scolding: "If you talk nonsense like this, I will get you drunk!"

The two entered the account hand in hand, Lang Huai put down the wine jar and said, "Let's talk about the business first."

Lin Xian straightened his expression, and waved his hand to screen off the soldiers.He took out Xue Hua's handwritten letter from his close pocket, handed it to Lang Huai, and said: "General Xue's words are all in it, and he told me in advance, it's a trivial matter."

"It's just that that incident is a bit annoying." Lin Xian complained: "Looking for a needle in a haystack, even now that the Western Regions obey my Tang Dynasty, it is too difficult to find someone."

After reading the letter, Lang Huai returned it to Mr. Lin.She had known that the result would not be too good, so she comforted her: "The battle in Khotan that day caused a sea of ​​flames in the city, and perhaps Long Erxun died a long time ago."

"I hope so too." Lin Xian sighed, "But how do you know that Long Erxun is really in the city?"

Lang Huai said: "Did you forget that I killed Lun Tong? I forced him to confess before he died." He had no choice but to tell this lie. In any case, how did she get the news about Long Erson? Reveal half.

"You can go to Ruoqiang tomorrow, what are your plans?" Lin Xian was a little impatient, opened a jar of wine first, and took a big gulp.

Lang Huai didn't stop him, and said with a smile: "Now you and I have five thousand troops together, and we are not afraid of Tubo's dissent. However, although the Imperial Forest Army is elite, they have never experienced in Anxi. What's more, Tubo's terrain is extremely cold, and it is the old army of Zhengxi. I'm afraid it's enough." When she said this, she patted another jar of wine, and continued: "Therefore, where you should be careful, you still have to be careful."

Lin Xian drank half of the altar in one go, laughed loudly and said, "Happy! But the three steps of the Eight Immortals Building in Xishi?"

Lang Huai was not like him. He only drank a few sips to quench his thirst. Hearing what he said right now, he smiled and said, "That's right! When you meet a bosom friend, why do you need to talk too much! Brother Lin, please!"

"Please!"

The two of them drank fine wine and couldn't help recalling the interesting events of the war.Lang Huai laughed because of this: "Now the third brother's wife is pregnant, and I'm afraid she is about to give birth. Brother Lin, you also married a good wife. But brother Lin, if you make your own decisions, aren't you afraid of being punished by future generations?"

Lin Xian shook his head and said: "I'm not you, you are the eldest son, I'm just a concubine who spoils my concubine, even if my father gets angry, there's nothing I can do now. Besides, my wife is also pregnant, just looking at the child's face, It doesn't matter." Lin Xian's father was the Jiedu envoy of Youzhou, he had been an official for forty years, and he was the Marquis of Zhiyuan who was appointed by Emperor Ming after he succeeded to the throne.

"Speaking of which, General Xue did not expect you to be engaged to the girl." Lin Xian said with a smile: "General Xue made a bet with everyone at the beginning, if the Duke hadn't chosen the young lady of the family for you, or His Majesty would have chosen this lady." Marry. No one thought that a girl would be given to you, you boy, I have never seen a girl. Tell me, who is better than this girl?" He pointed to the village while speaking, Apparently it means Goseong.

The two were drinking in the tent, and Lin Xian's personal soldiers took the silver knife and brought in trays of roasted fresh lamb.Lang Huai hadn't tasted such fresh and tender meat for a long time, he had a great appetite, he grabbed the meat with one hand, and held the wine in the other, feeling very happy.After hearing this, she didn't feel annoyed, and said: "I never thought that General Xue would make such jokes, but I don't know how to answer your words."

"I can meet this one tomorrow, but I don't know when and what month I will be lucky enough to meet that one in Chang'an City." Lin Xian squinted his eyes, "Quickly tell me, which one is better?"

Lang Huai laughed that he shouldn't have asked the question, so he didn't want to answer it.But because of Lin Xian's words, he thought of Mingda, and this kind of lovesickness was the first time he experienced it.She turned her head to look, and the sky was very far away, she couldn't help but said: "If it's not Ruo Gucheng, then all the women in the world are not as good as her."
