Love Affairs in Chang’an Chapter 394: Go to Huangquan with lights and wines

lnmao.org, the fastest update of the latest chapters of Changan Fengliu!

The scorching sun is the sky and the earth is transpiring, and the grass-free Flame Mountain is really like an alchemy furnace kicked by Monkey King from the sky, emitting layers of heat that are almost visible to the naked eye.

The King City of Gaochang is surrounded by Flame Mountain, just like a steamer.

Qin Shubao's Dama Golden Sword sits in the Duhu Mansion, holding the seal in his left hand and waving his right hand in his left hand.

A peak warrior who has been weather-beaten like him, his heart is as clear as ice, the sky is not shocked, and his face remains unchanged even when he turns around. At this moment, although he was sweating and wet inside and out, his expression was still calm as usual.

It has been more than half a month since I entered the Metropolitan Protectorate, and everything is normal. None of the subjects of Gaochang Kingdom to the level of King Yu Zhisheng showed too much hostility and abnormality. The initial worries and haze gradually faded, and the various tasks of the Duhufu gradually got on the right track.

In the past, most of the guardian Qin Shubao used to approve military, political and civil affairs after morning discussions. In the afternoon, he went out of the city to the Tang Army Camp to inspect the military parade. At night, he stayed in the Gaochang Palace.

The two clerks serving ink on both sides, without exception, were sweaty. But even if the sweat on his face dripped down, it was flawless. The old handsome Qin Shubao has always been serious and resolute in the Congo, but when he gets things done, he is fully committed. The officials who followed him had to be meticulous.

But today, the officials on the left and right find that the old handsome Qin Shubao, who has always been free and easy and capable, moves half a beat slower than before, as if he had more than his heart. Moreover, when I was reviewing the book and rested several times, my face lost the ruddy luster of the past.

"Is the boss tired? Sick?" asked left and right.

"It's okay, maybe it's a bit uncomfortable." Qin Shubao drank a cup of tea and said, "I will finish preparing these books as soon as possible, and go out of the city to deliver food to Xue Rengui in the afternoon. It is too hard for our soldiers to be stationed outside the city. In the past two days, I tried to get some medicinal soup for relieving heat and send it quickly."

"Yes, handsome." Left and right responded, sighing in their hearts. This group of people who followed Qin Shubao's expedition to Gaochang have suffered a lot. Needless to say, the previous thousand-mile raid and Lian Chan had more than ten battles. In the end, he successfully conquered Gaochang, and still had to stay outside the city to endure hardships. It’s for sure that people and horses get sick when the world is hot, even food and herbs are not enough.

It's not so much the garrison in the town that demonstrated the unparalleled benevolence and dominance of the Tang Dynasty, but rather... these soldiers were simply exiled!

Just after half a stick of incense, the pen in Qin Shubao's hand flicked suddenly and almost fell on the paper without catching it.

"Marshal, what's the matter with you?" exclaimed left and right. They saw that Qin Shubao's complexion was already extremely bad, as if the person who was seriously ill was showing blue and gray, his body was trembling slightly, and the cold sweat on his forehead was puffy.

"It's okay! Maybe it was eating unclean food and causing trouble." Qin Shubao held the pen with a strong spirit, and said, "Hurry up and finish approving these copies. I will be a little bit stunned. The book is sent to Ku Zhisheng to be executed on his behalf."

"Yes!...Marshal, why don't you let the humble post go to deliver food in the afternoon? Such trivial things do not require the boss to personally take care of it. The boss is in poor health and needs a good life and rest. Later, he will go to the humble post. Please come to a military doctor."

Qin Shubao furrowed his eyebrows, unconsciously stretched out his hand to cover his stomach, and nodded lightly, "Also, you must personally hand over the grains and herbs to Rengui and sign for them in return. The military doctors don’t need it, a little bit. For minor illnesses, there is no need for mediocre people to disturb themselves."

Forty miles away from the northern foot of Huoyan Mountain, there is a rare green forest and pasture green state. It is a small and famous green state tribe with a radius of more than forty miles. Businessmen on the Silk Road often stay here. Over time, there will be more prosperity and vitality here. However, due to the recent wars, merchants have cut off their troops, and gradually turned into a dead zone.

Last night, the wind was high and the night was dark, and a large crowd of people and horses quietly poured into the oasis and entrenched them. They neither bury pots for cooking nor surround the hunting grounds, whispering and whispering in horseshoes, behaving as subtle as ghosts.

The few remaining houses and inns in the oasis were forcibly occupied by them. Whenever you encounter strangers, you will die regardless of the reason.

Many innocent travelers, their **** scimitars and a shocking wolf-head banner remained in their eyes before they died.

Wolf, the totem of the Turkic people!

In the Hanren Hotel in the center of the oasis, Hu Bing looks around the scimitar Hanliang. The tables and chairs in the center of the lobby were swept away. Instead, they were covered with a thick sheepskin blanket. Several people were sitting around them, drinking thick white goat milk wine.

One of them sits at the core, and the others are arranged in a fan-shaped arrangement. The head of the whole lamb that has just been roasted is facing him, which shows that this person is the first of all.

This man has a tiger-backed bear, his waist and beard are like a lion, with a hooked big nose and blue eyes, and his cheekbones are more prominent than the average husky. When I opened my mouth to drink, a mouthful of blood appeared.

Seeing this person, everyone thinks of an animal-a bear!

"General Nishu, I just received a secret letter from Gaochang State saying that everything is ready and our army can leave in the evening and enter the city at night!" said the first person on the left.

"Nishu" is the name and surname of the Western Turkic tribe, and it is also a prominent family name. The bear-like man is currently the highest military commander in the northern court of the Western Turks. He once swept the desert invincible, and almost determined the first general of the northern court by himself.

The mud cooked glanced at the man, his eyes cold like a carnivore. Even though he was his confidant, the person who had just spoken couldn't help feeling cold.

"I have no interest or trust in Ku Zhisheng." Ni Shu spoke, but his voice was not as rough as imagined, but rather calm, but his voice was thick and full of air, "Who sent the secret letter? "

"It's our own people. Earlier, Hanting sent to Tutun, Biller, Gaochang."

"That's about the same. It seems that the time is ripe." The mud cooked sipped a cup of milk wine and sighed, "It's a pity that Qin Shubao's world-famous tiger will die in such a despicable subtly. It’s a shame that I can’t compete with him in a fair and just fierce battle in this life!"

"General, since this time the Great Khan sent a general to come, it can be seen that this battle is very important." The attendant said, "The Han people don't have a common saying that the soldiers are not tired of deceit. That Qin Shubao is brave and invincible and also has Pu Chang Haixue Wanche as a backup. If you want to face-to-face confrontation, even if our army is victorious, our army will have to suffer countless deaths and injuries. If this battle kills Qin Shubao and defeats the Tang army, from then on, the Western Region is the only one left in the Northern Court. Who dares to refuse? In the end, this account will only be counted in Ye. The people of Zhisheng and Gaochang have nothing to do with me. This is really a net profit sale!"

"You can only tell people from hearsay, how can you really know?" Ni Shu snorted coldly, "Da Khan listened to the instigation of the Tubo kid Garqin, and decided to go with Tang Enemy. I don’t have a half-hearted feeling for this kid like Garqin Mausoleum. In the more than ten battles that lured Qin Shubao away from Lanzhou to the Western Regions, he condemned the old, weak and remnants for only feigning battles, and let us and Gaochang’s soldiers and horses dedicated to death. Countless. In the end, he will use us to deal with Qin Shubao, but he sits on the sidelines and waits to reap the benefits of the fisherman. No matter the success or failure of this battle, he has no loss at all. That is the real profitable business!"

"But...this is indeed beneficial to us!" The attendant said timidly, "Tang Ting took over Gaochang and garrisoned troops, conquered the people, recruited troops and established the Duhu Mansion. The country has surrendered one by one, and its ambitions are not small! When they gradually take root here, they will join Nanting to attack me sooner or later. By then, it will be really late!"

"Hmph..." Mu Shu slurped annoyed and helplessly, and said, "I don't know the truth?...If this is not the case, how can I lead the troops here? One mountain does not allow two tigers, Western Regions There will not be two overlords. Seeing that we are about to take the Nanting system and dominate the Western Regions, Tang Ting stretched his hand in. Although I am quite disdainful of the treacherous people like the Garqin Mausoleum, I know that if we don’t use it. It’s extremely difficult to win. It’s a pity that Qin Shubao, who is a hero and admired by my generation!..."

After noon, a large number of Liangmo convoys were escorted to the Tang Army Camp in Flaming Mountain. Xue Rengui went out and greeted him personally, and took a detailed inventory of the items received and stored. After that, Xue Rengui asked the escorting officer why the commander had not personally visited the military parade today.

The extraction officer truthfully reported back, saying that the commander was ill and could not come in person.

Xue Rengui frowned, and said: "The handsome temperament is clear to you and I. Even if the world is falling apart, he is resolute and does not change his course. I saw that he was still as good as before. Today, the sick body is too heavy to travel. Is there something wrong with it?"

The **** officer was stunned for a moment, and said: "The marshal only said that the food is not clean and the soil is unacceptable, and it is a bit troublesome. Besides, it is no different!"

"Really?" Xue Rengui stared at him.

"Indeed...so! The general also ordered the army to distribute these heat-relieving decoctions as soon as possible to relieve the soldiers' suffering."

"..." Xue Rengui groaned for a moment and nodded, "Please report back to the commander, saying that the general will execute the military order immediately. After that, Gaochang Kaicheng will visit the commander in person tomorrow morning, and he will return to military affairs immediately! "

"Yes, the humble post must be brought here. General Xue, that humble post is gone!"

"Hold on!" Xue Rengui suddenly shouted, and stunned the **** officer.

"The general is still a little worried. I will follow you to visit the city at this moment." Xue Rengui said.

"That's okay. I'm afraid that when the time comes, the general will blame the general for leaving his job without permission!" The **** warned carefully, "When the humble position is returned first, the general will visit tomorrow. Late at this night."

Xue Rengui furrowed his eyebrows and pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Also, it is important for the general to execute military orders now. Go ahead and greet the commander for me."

"Yes."

In the middle of the night, the moon is like a mirror, and the wind whispers.

There was silence all around, but two tragic roars suddenly came out in the backyard of Gaochang Wangcheng's Dadu Guardian!

"Ah!—Ah!!!"

"Great handsome, what's the matter!"

Several people slammed open the door and rushed in, and found that Qin Shubao was rolling down from the bed, a pool of blood on the ground. Qin Shubao twitched and shrank into a ball, vomiting black blood in his mouth.

"Great handsome!!!"

After a while, a medical officer came in haste, and seeing this before he could check his pulse, he was immediately frightened and said: "This...this! The handsome man is clearly poisoned!"

"What?!" The surrounding people exclaimed.

"What's going on, what's going on, what's wrong with Enshuai?" A roar like thunder came from outside the door, and then he broke into a giant tower-like man who was naked and wore only a pair of pants. Hong Tai.

"Hong Tai, Hugh is so noisy!" Qi Fu Heli stepped forward to block him, and said solemnly, "The commander is poisoned!"

"What?!" Yuwen Hongtai was stunned, staring at Qin Shubao with a pair of copper bell-like eyes and shook his head blankly, "This is impossible, how is this possible! Enshuai is with me every day It's like eating at the same table, how could he be poisoned, but I waited but nothing happened?"

The medical officer whispered timidly: "Perhaps the thief was poisoned alone in the marshal's bowl or in the tea water-this is clearly the poison of arsenic, and the poison is beyond the bones and cannot be saved!"

"Ah!—Ah!" Yuwen Hongtai screamed like a tiger, desperately screaming away the crowd around him, rushed to the bed and knelt down, suddenly crying like a child, "En Handsome, you can’t do anything! If you have anything, how can I tell the third brother!"

"Hong Tai, don't be noisy, let alone cry. Dignified general, what kind of decent is you?" Qin Shubao, who was half lying on the bed and his face was gray, still looked like a knife with a cold expression, and said in a deep breath. , "Qiehe Heli, Yuwen Hongtai, pass my general order, the people in the Duhu Mansion, etc., all gather for the whole equipment battle!"

"Woo--" Yuwen Hongtai burst into tears, dragged Qin Shubao hard to pull him from the bed, and shouted, "Enshuai get up quickly and let me carry you! Let's leave Gaochang and go to the barracks. The army returns to Lanzhou, and meets the third brother in Lanzhou!"

"Don't mess around!" Qin Shubao shouted, then coughed violently, vomiting blood.

Qi Fu Heli endured grief and indignation, called several lieutenants to come forward to force Yuwen Hongtai to pull away, sternly clasped his fists, and said loudly-"The last general will lead!"

"Hong Tai, come take my armor and armour and put me on a horse!"

After half an incense stick, most of the guards outside the residence shouted to kill Zhentian and were surrounded by water. Countless torches glowed the night sky red. Amidst the shouting and whistling, someone screamed in unison—"Qin Qiong came out and landed, but the whole body can be left!" In the courtyard, all the five hundred soldiers who had entered the city with Qin Shubao were all present. People put on armour and saddled, and torches lined up with swords shining.

Silent silence.

Qin Shubao pushed his left and right arms away and moved out of the room step by step. When he stood in front of the steps, Yuwen Hongtai handed over his tiger-head chiseled golden gun. Qin Shubao took the gun and gave a heavy meal on the ground, shattering the bricks and slabs.

A small soldier came forward to report that the main guard house was already surrounded by at least 3,000 soldiers and horses. It was the main king of the Western Turks and was an elite wolf rider.

"Understood, retreat." Qin Shubao responded indifferently, and said, "Those who are willing to surrender, take off their military robes and leave quietly. This commander will not blame him. However, I will never say that he is Tang people."

"I would rather die than surrender, and swear to follow the Generalissimo!" Five hundred people responded almost in unison.

Qin Shubao nodded slightly, and then asked Yuwen Hongtai: "Hongtai, why do you have blood on your body? But did you go out and kill without abiding by our military order?"

Yuwen Hongtai is full of grimace, gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "I will kill all the servants and cooks in the Protector's Mansion! I don't know which dog|mother's beast poisoned Enshuai, but anyway It's one of them, all **** it!"

"The real murderer has long since escaped, and you have killed the innocent." Qin Shubao did not scold him, but was rare and gentle and respectful, and said softly, "Follow Saburo from now on, you must restrain your temper and not be abusive. Make a mistake. Bring him a message for me, please remember..."

"I won't leave!" Yuwen Hongtai shouted suddenly, "I will die with En Shuai! En Shuai is the third brother's own father, and is also Yuwen Hongtai's own father! I'm going to die, how can I go, I won't be a beast!"

Five hundred soldiers, all with tight faces and serious eyes, looked at Qin Shubao and Yuwen Hongtai.

Qin Shubao stared at Yuwen Hongtai for a moment, there seemed to be glitter in his old eyes, his gray beard trembled a few times, and he groaned almost weakly, "This is the military order."

Yuwen Hongtai will yell at the dispute again, Qi Fei He Li hastily stepped forward to stop him, and said: "I wait to follow the marshal to live to this day, who is afraid to die? Hongtai, you are impulsive, listen up The handsome arrangement must make sense."

The shouts outside the courtyard are getting louder and louder and clearer—"Qin Qiong will avoid death if he comes out!", "Qin Qiong will avoid death if he comes out!"...

"Have you heard, they actually wanted me, Qin Qiong, to surrender, hahaha!" Qin Shubao suddenly laughed a few times, put the tiger-head chiseled golden gun in his hand on the blue brick stone slab and said loudly, "Yu Wenhong Tai listened to the order, I’ll wait for five hundred people to protect you from the city. At this moment, death is easy, but survival is difficult. You must break out and find Xue Rengui so that he cannot enter the city to save me, let alone take revenge. Lead the army to retreat to Pu Changhai and make Xue Wanche retreat to Yumen Pass, without error!"

"What!" Yuwen Hongtai shouted in shock, "Isn't it sending me out to move rescue soldiers, but to let me escape?-I won't die!"

"Hongtai...My son!" Qin Shubao whispered, Yuwen Hongtai burst into tears again, and nodded in response: "My son is here! My son is here!"

"You are my general and you are like a brother to Saburo, just like my son." Qin Shubao whispered, "I can fight to death generously, but you have to escape from birth. There are three reasons-the other First, you are the bravest among the people and the most likely to break through. You have to pass my Jiangling to Xue Rengui. This is a big deal, far greater than my Qin Qiong’s life and death; second, I want you to bring a message To Saburo, let him remember the words of his father: selfless enmity on the battlefield, and state affairs must be the top priority; the Qin family’s generation of Zhongliang has been generous to his father throughout his life, so that he should not insult the ancestors and heroic spirits..."

Five hundred people, weeping, knelt on the ground and held their fists in a military salute, but they were speechless.

"Thirdly, tell my family that Qin Qiong missed them day and night... Saburo's newly-married father was too late to be present, and thought it was a pity. So I only prepared a small gift for the future grandson, and I shot and killed myself. The wing bones of the great desert eagle, an eagle flute carved..."

After that, Qin Shubao took out a cloth bag from his arms and handed it to Yuwen Hongtai, saying: "When Saburo’s child is born, if it is a boy, let Saburo give him the name Qin Ying; if it is a daughter, it’s called Qin Ying. Flute!"

Yuwen Hongtai knelt on both knees and raised a pair of big hands, took the eagle flute and carefully put it in his arms, then lay on the ground and cried bitterly, hitting the ground with his fists desperately.

"Wine!" Qin Shubao shouted loudly!

The outside of the courtyard is still shouting, "Qin Qiong will leave the whole body!"

Five hundred people, each holding a bowl of wine, stood still.

"Eighteen days ago, I led you and waited for 502 soldiers to enter the royal city; tonight, I have a lot of 503 Datang guys. How happy it is to pick up the lights and get drunk." Qin Shubao held the bowl in both hands and said loudly, "My brothers and sons of Qin Qiong! Drink this bowl and go to Huangquan together, and live and die at the same point as Qiu, how generous!"

"Follow the General Marshal to the death! Life is the same as Qiu and death. How generous!"

"Fuck!"

Three bowls of wine per person, Kangguo three lean pulp. This kind of wine, everyone present didn't know how much they had drunk, only tonight did they drank this kind of wine that was so powerful and powerful!

"Go on!"

Yuwen Hongtai and Qibi Heli wanted to come forward to help, Qin Shubao pushed them away from the left and right, turned on their horses, pulled up the tiger-headed golden gun embedded in the slate, and shouted: "Jiang - All soldiers, **** Yuwen Hongtai to the death to break out of the city!"

"No!"

Yuwen Hongtai was fully clothed, turned on his horse with a phoenix-winged golden bell, took turns to wipe a hand of sweat and tears from his face, and roared: "Enshuai, brothers! If I am not dead, today will be next year Come here, bring the best Sanlejang and the enemy’s head to pay tribute to you!"

"Open the gate of the mansion and follow the commander... rush out!"

"Qua...quack!"

The tall and heavy Duhu Mansion gate slowly opened. Outside, the cavalry stood in clusters around torches, with swords and guns like forests.

The mud familiar slurped the horse under the flag of the head of the wolf, squinted at the open door, his face tense.

Yiqi, slowly walked out of the mansion gate, the battle robe and gray beard flew together, and the tiger-head spear stood proudly.

"In Datang, there are only soldiers with beheaded heads, no slaves on knees...Qin Qiong is here, who dares to come forward to fight to the death?!!!"
