Farewell to the emperor and left the Penglai Temple, Qin Mubai slowly walked in the imperial city with the horse, thinking carefully, could not help but shook his head secretly.

I remember Qin Mubai listened to his father's reminder when he first entered the official career and took up the post of Baiqi. Never ignore the emperor, he is the one who rules and decides everything; the emperor’s side is always the most complicated, and nothing can be regarded as simple.

Looking back now, Qin Mubai really felt that his father's words were simply the truth. In a short period of one year, Qin Mubai worked by the emperor's side, and his whole body seemed to have lost a layer of immature skin. He also learned the world and became smooth. When things happen, they will repeatedly think about asking why, and will always involuntarily think about the emperor.

Several things that happened in the past year seem to have nothing to do with the emperor, but the roots are actually the emperor. Metaphor of the initial contradiction between him and Chang Sun Huan, in the end, the emperor fired Chang Sun Huan and maintained his prestige as a hundred horse envoy. Later, Princess Gao Yang's approach, ambiguity, and even things evolved to this point, the indirect promoter behind the scenes was also The emperor; in the Jiangzhou case and the apprenticeship of Li Jing, which one has nothing to do with the emperor?

Qin Mubai sighed secretly, being in a complex and dangerous place like the emperor, and working with a group of senior master politicians like Li Shimin, life is really hard and fearful.

One word, tired!

I need to decompress, I need to relax, I need to change the environment to recharge.

In Qin Mubai's heart, the idea of ​​job-hopping became more and more determined.

Leading a horse to stroll through the familiar imperial city, and seeing the barracks of Baiqi from a distance, Qin Mubai couldn't help but sigh secretly: Maybe, I will never enter this barracks again. This camp that I built by myself, the army built by myself, will soon be handed over.

Forget it, in everything there is a gain, there is a loss, and there is a loss, there is a gain, where is the beauty of both worlds? Even if I really leave Baiqi, I'm afraid that someone from Qin will always be imprinted in this powerful army. After all, I am their creator and first commander! Maybe someday the mountains won’t turn around, and I’m back again?

Leaving the imperial city, Qin Mubai rushed all the way with his horse and whip. The cold winter wind blew his face with a deep chill, and at the same time a trace of parting melancholy and unforgettable feelings rose in his heart.

"It turns out that I actually have feelings for this imperial city..."

Back home, the family is still waiting for him to eat. Yaoer also came back early today, saying that it was the world's No. 1 alcoholic beverage for a few days and was expanded and refurbished. It turned out that the best wine in the world bought all the nearby shops, Wu Meiniang waved her hands and feet, demolished all three houses and rebuilt them, vowing to build the world's best "entertainment place". And renamed the wine shop, named-Qin Xiange.

Wu Meiniang's move can be said to be quite meaningful, and she directly named her new wine shop by the name of "Qinxian Wine". As a result, she was probably announcing to fellow merchants that she was the only merchant using authentic Qinxian wine, and she dared to name her wine restaurant in the name of imperial wine. This privilege is not something other merchants can have; Second, it is also the intention to announce to the public that the marriage between her and Qin Mubai is certain. She is running a wine shop in the name of Qin's wife.

The monster said that Wu Dong's family used all the money to build this new wine shop. It is said that because the money was not enough, she even sold the five hectares of Yongyetian left by her father.

Qin Mubai guessed that there must be a special reason why Wu Meiniang made such drastic expansion and reconstruction suddenly--could it be that the court has already awarded her the "Datang Yishang" card? Otherwise, how dare she use the word "Qin Xian" as the name of the store?

It's very possible!

I think about it carefully, Wu Meiniang has never bothered herself once when she did all these things, and she didn't even mention it, she was all alone doing it alone. Apart from sighing for her ability, Qin Mubai was somewhat ashamed. This big man himself did not take the initiative to help her.

After dinner, Qin Mubai and his family took a short walk in the courtyard, then hid in the room, turned on the lamp and started to copy the "Jade Account". Qin Shubao knew he had this urgent matter to do, so he didn't ask him to practice martial arts together.

A small room with lights as yellow as beans. One by one, Qin Mubai sat at the desk and worked hard to write.

In the middle of the night, when the fire in the room was almost extinguished, he couldn't help feeling some hands and feet stiff with cold. When she was about to fetch some charcoal to add, the little girl Shuang'er came and smiled holding a pot of fire.

"Three brothers, am I considerate of you? The weather is cold and I know you are busy, so I will add charcoal to you!"

"It's my sweet cream, come on, let go."

Qin Mubai invited Shuang'er into the room, and the two brothers and sisters warmed their hands and feet over a charcoal fire. At this time, they heard the chirping of owls outside.

"Hey, I hate it! People in the evening hate hearing this sound the most!" Shuang'er complained.

Qin Mubai couldn't help but moved in his heart, and smiled: "Wait, wait, I will clean it up!"

Involuntarily speaking, Qin Mubai carried the bow and arrow hung on the wall and went out. After searching the courtyard for a while, I found an adult big owl. An arrow down, the hand comes.

While carrying the owl into the room, Shuang'er was shocked: "Brother, you kill and then kill, why did you bring it back?"

"You don't know, the feathers of this bird have a magical effect." Qin Mubai cut off a few long-wing feathers, and cut them with a knife for a while, then laughed, "Haha, great pen , Great pen! This is much faster to write than that wolfhose hose!"

"Hey, can this also be used as a pen?"

"Of course!" Qin Mubai smiled and walked to the desk, and immediately wrote with the feather dipped in ink. Although it is neither degreased nor hardened, it can be used just fine. When writing a book, the fonts are smaller and more flexible, the writing speed is also several times faster and it saves more paper.

"Hehe, third brother, you are so smart!"

"I will process it again tomorrow, and this pen will be even better." Qin Mubai covered Moshuang's face that was a little red from the cold, and smiled, "Good sister, come to me in the middle of the night. Something?"

"Where, clearly not, hehe!" Shuang'er smiled, his cheeks flushed.

Why didn't Qin Mubai know what she was thinking, smiled, and said: "I will be busy copying books at home these two days, and I won't have time to go out alone. Could you please do two things for me?" /

"Well, third brother, you just confess it."

"One is, go to Mei Niang for me and ask if you need help. If you have free time, you can help me take care of it. By the way, tell her that I will be very busy these two days. Busy, I may not have time to accompany her, please forgive her." Qin Mubai said.

"Hehe, third brother, you care about Mei Niang very much!" Shuang'er smiled, "Don't worry! I also like this sister-in-law, I will run to her more if I have time in the past two days, even if I can't help. If she’s so busy, it’s okay to say more good things in front of her for the third brother."

"Really good." Qin Mubai pinched her cheek lightly and continued, "The other thing is, you will go to Prince Wu's Mansion after breakfast tomorrow."

"Uh..." Shuang'er was startled, her face flushed, "Go there...what are you doing?"

"Isn't it because of Princess Gaoyang?" Qin Mubai smiled bitterly, "This girl, if she doesn't see me for a long time, she will make trouble. You saw it today too. I didn't go to Prince Wu Mansion to see her, so she took the initiative to kill her. Here comes. You went to the palace to stabilize her, but don't let her disturb me doing business for these two days."

"Well, I know..." Shuang'er nodded flushed.

Qin Mubai smiled and said: "Okay, don't have a dyingly shy expression, go back and rest early! If your father asks when you go out in the morning, you just say that you made an appointment yesterday and go find Princess Gaoyang. . Father will definitely not stop it."

"Hey, I know! Father seems to like Princess Gaoyang." Qin Shuang'er smiled happily, and a little shy, and said, "Then I'm leaving third brother, you should rest early, not too late."

"Well, remember to tell your family, don't call me tomorrow morning." Qin Mubai sent his sister away, sat down and continued copying the book.

Holding the lantern to fight in the night, I realized it was dawn. Qin Mubai copied a thick stack, but there is still a long way to go before the complete copy. While copying the book, he also understood it silently, and couldn't help but admire Li Jing greatly in his heart.

Many things seem easy to do. Qin Mubai was originally a student of the National Defense Science and Technology University. He thought he had learned a lot of modern military theories, and he didn't care too much about the ancient military thoughts. But after copying the book that night, Qin Mubai really felt that he was just a "theoretician" in this respect, and if he practiced it, his eyes would have been darkened.

Wars in the cold weapon era and modern wars are completely different. From this art of war, Qin Mubai learned more details. Metaphorically, the established sacrifices and etiquette at the time of the expedition, the front and back of the Chinese army plus the appointment of the seven army generals and the allocation of sergeants who left and right Yuhoujun, the appointment and management of the grain and grass civilians, and how to allocate horses and weapons and condemn the scouts to camp and camp. The main point of Qin Mubai is completely unfamiliar. This is just pre-war preparations. The war is really about to start. The weather is hydrological and geography, the enemy is reconnaissance and the formation of troops, it is convenient to siege and pull out the water and fire, the prevention of human and horse epidemic and the timing of Zhengqi's use of troops...

Really a profound knowledge!

The first volume of this "Jade Account Scripture" is all about the "basic skills" of these marching battles. It can be said that it is a compulsory course for any general of the Tang Dynasty. Qin Mubai felt that he was like a preschool student now, and he needed to make up for it!

……

At dawn, Qin Mubai summoned his servant to send hot water to wash, and simply ate some congee soup wrapped around his belly, and then lay down to rest.

At this time, in the Wu Palace.

Princess Gao Yang got up early in the morning, dressed for a long while in front of the bronze mirror, and walked out of the room under Li Ke's endless calls.

Li Ke couldn't help but brighten his eyes: "Oh, I can't imagine my little girl dressed up so beautifully!"

"Hmph, then you mean that I was not good-looking before!" Princess Gao Yang wrinkled her nose and said in dissatisfaction.

"Haha! Dressed up so beautifully, where are you going?" Li Ke asked knowingly, jokingly.

"Hey, Mu Bai promised me yesterday that he would take me out to play today!" Princess Gao Yang said happily.

Li Ke smiled badly: "What if...what about he like yesterday?"

"Then I have to strangle him!" Princess Gao Yang yelled bitterly.

"Would you be willing?" Li Ke laughed haha, "I think you are going to be crazy now. You are doing everything for him. Do you only dream of him in the middle of the night?"

"You want to take care of it!" Princess Gao Yang made a face and touched her belly, "Hurry up, eat! I'm hungry, I'm full so I can hang out with Mu Bai! But you have to hurry up, Don’t be preempted by others."

"Who preempted it? Wu Meiniang?" Li Ke laughed.

"Ah!..." Princess Gao Yang was startled, only to find that she had accidentally missed her mouth. Rolling her eyes, she murmured nonchalantly, "Brother, you said... how could Wu Meiniang So pretty?"

"It's wrong for people to be more beautiful?" Li Ke said amusedly.

"It shouldn't be!" Princess Gao Yang sat down, and she was still in high spirits. Now she was a little depressed, and groaned, "She is not only beautiful, but also so capable, and she has been with you earlier than me. Mu Bai is together. Besides, she is more mature and sensible than I am, and it’s really impossible to run such a big family business at a young age. Compared with her...it's nothing good!"

"Why, I feel a crisis?" Li Ke smiled, patted Princess Gao Yang's jade shoulder, and said, "My silly sister, feelings are not based on comparison. It's not that you are better than her, but more Be sure to grasp Mu Bai’s heart."

"What does it depend on?" Princess Gao Yang curled her lips and said, "After returning yesterday, I thought about it in the middle of the night. Now I have nothing worth mentioning except for the name of a princess... Before, Mu Bai was special I hate me! I also know that I used to be domineering and do not know what to say, just fooling around and not doing anything. Compared with Wu Meiniang, these are far away! Third brother, I am really afraid that Mu Bai only spoils Mei Niang Stop me..."

"Don't be afraid! If he dares to start chaos and end up abandoning, the third brother will abolish him for you!" Li Ke scowled and said.

"Dare you! No!" Princess Gao Yang became anxious and shouted loudly.

"Haha! It's really bad for the female college to stay, eating out!" Li Ke helplessly shook his head and smiled, and said, "I am teasing you, Mu Bai and I are like brothers. How can we turn our eyes on each other? It's just a little girl. Ah, you really don’t have to think so much. Emotional things rely on fate and management. Your persistence and simplicity are very useful. People are different from each other, so you don’t need to be like Wu Meiniang. By comparison, you are two completely different types of people."

"Really?" Princess Gao Yang blinked Shuiling's big eyes and said, "Then you say, what does Mu Bai like about me?"

"I'm not him, how do I know? There is no reason for feelings. If you like it, you like it, and if you don't like it, you don't like it." Li Ke smiled and said, "If feelings have so many conditions to talk about, don't they? Really affection, that is trading and trading."

"Hey... what the third brother said makes sense." Princess Gao Yang felt a little bit of enlightenment, and said, "Just like I liked Qin Mubai at the beginning, and there is no reason why I like it without knowing it. , I am willing to do anything for him and give everything for him. I think about it carefully, but I don’t know what I like him. In fact, he is broken and has always bullied me! If you want to treat me well, I will treat me well. There are too many people I regard as precious, but I don’t like any of them."

"So, so..." Li Ke paced back and forth with his back and cut his hands for a few moments, and said in a pretentious manner, "Everyone will have an evil star in his life. If you meet, you will be stupid and will ignore him. Everything, even the moths fighting the fire, will not hesitate. Obviously, Qin Mubai’s servant is the magic star in your fate!"

While talking, the official came to report that someone was asking for a meeting in front of the door, and the person came was a woman who claimed to be Qin.

"Hey, it must be Qin Shuang'er! Third brother, the magic star in your fate is here too!" Princess Gao Yang jumped up excitedly and asked the official, "Did they come together?" /

Li Ke's face twitched slightly, and he secretly said: Gao Yang is going to be disappointed...If Qin Mubai and Qin Shuang'er came together, would he still need to be named Shuang'er? Shuang'er... But I haven't been to my house in a few years!

On the other side, Princess Gaoyang listened to the official's return, and she rolled her face in dismay, "How could this happen? Shuang'er is here, but Mu Bai is not here? Humph! This guy is going to play again. What tricks, what excuses did you find to hide from me, I am so angry!"

"Ah... invite her in." Li Ke gave a gesture to send the official away first.

Princess Gao Yang bit her lip in a gloomy moment, and then suddenly came back to her spirits, weirdly approached Li Ke, and asked: "Brother, I'm very curious, why are you so affectionate for Shuang'er? The beautiful woman by your side is really amazing, even better than Shuang'er who is born, talented and artistic. Why do you have a passion for her?"

"It's none of your business, don't inquire!" Li Ke held her face irritably, pushing her away.

"No, no, no, I won't do it!" Princess Gao Yang's face was squashed, she still stubbornly raised her neck and grabbed Li Ke's wrist with her hands, and giggled, "You don't tell me, I will talk nonsense in front of Qin Shuang'er in a while!"

"Okay, I'm afraid of you!" Li Ke had to let go and glanced outside nervously. He saw Qin Shuang'er approaching at the corner of the flower garden from a distance, and said quickly, "Because Shuang'er is my...first love , Do you know it now?"

"First...love?" Princess Gao Yang blinked her eyes and muttered, "Mu Bai is also my first favorite man! But I am not her first favorite woman, what should I do?"

"Cold! Don't talk nonsense, she is here!"

Princess Gao Yang sat aside with a bitter face, her hands on her chin, and muttered to herself: "Don't guess, Mu Bai will definitely not come today, let Shuang'er come to talk. Hey...I How can I catch Mu Bai’s heart? Wu Meiniang, such an outstanding woman..."

"Tell you to stop nagging!" Li Ke shook his hand anxiously, and hurriedly dropped a sentence, "There are only two ways for a woman to grab a man's heart!"

"Which two methods?"

Li Ke's fingers are as serious as preaching: "One, love him; second, love him desperately without reservation!"

"..." Princess Gao Yang was speechless for a while, and said in a slanderous voice, "Do you think I still have any reservations?"

"Stupid! You have grabbed his heart, but you have no confidence!" Li Ke said, "Although Wu Meiniang is preconceived, I can guarantee that you love Mu Bai more deeply than her... She can hold Mu Bai's heart even more!"

Princess Goyang was taken aback, and suddenly smiled happily: "Then I will love to love a little bit more in the future!"
