Only a few days after Qin Mubai left, Chu Suiliang arrived in Lanzhou.

At that time, Pang Fei, the chief general of the Guanxi Army who was in charge of staying in Lanzhou, was training his troops outside the city. Hearing that Chu Suiliang had arrived, he was shocked in his heart: The teacher was expecting everything, and the court came just as soon as his front foot left. Up people. Chu Suiliang is the immediate confidant of today's important court officials and emperors. In a sense, he was even closer to the emperor than Changsun Wuji.

It is certainly not a trivial matter to let him go out in person.

The governor Xiao Liang and others have welcomed Chu Suiliang into the Dudu Mansion, and they have come to invite King Jiang Xia and Pang Fei. Pang Fei had to leave the barracks to see Chu Suiliang.

When Pang Fei arrived at the Dudu's Mansion, Li Daozong, Xiao Liang and others were already drinking tea with Chu Suiliang. Li Daozong is a royal family, and his seniority is higher than that of Chu Suiliang. Therefore, he asked bluntly, what is the cause of Chu Xianggong's arrival in Lanzhou not far away?

Chu Suiliang smiled relaxedly and said casually, following the emperor's order, come to Lanzhou to see.

"Look?" Li Daozong was startled, then smiled, "Then Lanzhou...is it good-looking?"

"Good-looking." Chu Suiliang also drove down the **** and laughed, "The market is neatly lined up, and the countryside is pasture, cattle and sheep. The city is majestic and powerful, and the people are rich and beautiful. Lanzhou has been all over the years. It is a place of war and chaos in frontier fortresses, and it has developed into this in just a few years. It is really amazing!"

Li Daozong couldn't help but sneered after hearing this, "Chu Suiliang, you don't need to practice your mouth with this king. Since you are here by decree, let's just say it!"

"The prince, forgive the sins, and the minister does not have the imperial decree." Chu Suiliang bowed his hand to accompany him, and smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty's word, the original words are-you go to Lanzhou to see!"

Everyone was speechless, and Li Daozong was even more stunned.

At this moment, Pang Fei came in and attended the ceremony first.

Chu Suiliang looked at him up and down, and asked: "General Pang is a good student of martial arts, and he deserves to be a disciple of Qin Shaoshuai, a famous teacher is a good student."

"Chu Xianggong awarded the prize."

"Well...Where is Marshal Qin?" Chu Suiliang asked. After entering the Dudu Mansion for a long time, he didn't see Qin Mubai.

Pang Fei was astonished, "Is there no one telling Zhu Xianggong that the marshal led the army to the west a few days ago?"

Although Chu Suiliang has followed the emperor all the year round, he has already developed a calmness of "the sky is not alarmed", but when he heard Pang Fei's words, he was really taken aback.

Because nobody really told him. After sitting in the Dudu's Mansion for a long time, he didn't take the initiative to ask, and no one took the initiative to confide in him any extra things.

Obviously, many of the people in the hall are already an unbreakable group. Even if Chu Suiliang is the current prime minister and the emperor's confidant, no one will try to flatter him or find him close.

With such a tiny detail, Chu Suiliang suddenly realized that Lanzhou is definitely different from ordinary local states and counties. The generals and officials here are quite united with each other, and the backbone is quite clear. Qin Mubai's prestige and influence here are already unmatched. According to a certain rebellious saying, that is, Lanzhou already "only recognizes Qin Lang and does not know the emperor."

"Oh, it was this king who was talking about Chu Xianggong, but I forgot it for a while." Li Daozong, such an old and slippery character, immediately came out and laughed, "Chu Xianggong, your Majesty the emperor did not send you to come to see Qin Mu Bai’s, right? Then you may have to go for nothing!-If your legs and feet are a little faster, you can stop him before he goes out."

"Blocking?" Chu Suiliang smiled slightly, "Chu, why are you blocking Qin Young Master?"

"Oh, take a look, this king reads few books and some improper language, so don't take it to heart." Li Daozong smiled.

"How dare, how dare." Chu Suiliang didn't see the slightest displeasure or mood swings on his face, still talking and laughing freely, "Actually, it is not a very secret matter that your Majesty sent me. He just asked me to come. Take a look at the princess and her husband. His old man said that the princess had been away from Beijing for a long time, and the concubine De consort was very convinced. Especially after the princess gave birth to Lin'er, neither her majesty nor the wife had ever met. Therefore..."

"Does your majesty want Qin Mubai to take the princess and the little princess back to Beijing?" "Exactly." Chu Suiliang nodded, but immediately added, "but your majesty doesn't mean to force it at all, it's entirely up to the young commander himself Decided. His Majesty also specifically stated that if the marshal is busy with military affairs or there are other things to deal with, there is no need to rush for a while. It must be that the marshal has all the free time, and you can go to Chang'an Province."

"Oh, it turned out to be your majesty's housework!...Then I'll know too much after waiting." Li Daozong laughed, "Pang Fei, please ask Xianggong Chu to visit the princess?"

"Yes! Chu Xianggong, please!" Pang Fei stepped forward to ask.

"Then Chu will go to visit the princess first. Everyone, Chu will say goodbye!" Chu Suiliang retired, and everyone sent it off.

Li Daozong held a cup of tea and drank slowly, thinking about himself, wringing a big bump between his eyebrows. The governor Xiao Liang walked over and asked in a low voice, "Master, do you want to inform Young Master Qin about Chu Suiliang's visit to Lanzhou?"

Li Daozong paused with his hand holding the tea cup, meditated, and then said: "No need."

Xiao Liang was slightly taken aback, "Is it really unnecessary?...Is this kind of thing, somehow let the young marshal know something?"

"Qin Mu's white-collared soldiers went out, so let him fight with peace of mind. There was nothing wrong, we should not put on a guilty conscience and make life suspicious." Li Daozong put the tea cup on the table, "Qin Mubai This kid is now better than a fox! Things that you and I haven't thought of yet, he has thought about it eight hundred times in his stomach-if he didn't know in his heart, would he go so eagerly? Soldiers will stop the water. We don’t have to worry about it! Didn’t you hear what Chu Suiliang said just now? The emperor, also very tactfully, "please" the princess and the horse to return to Beijing to stay for a few days. It was not an imperial decree. There is a lot of leeway. And this is a royal family affair, and we outsiders cannot mix. Remember, every word Chu Suiliang said in the hall just now must be kept secret and not leaked!"

"Yes, I remembered it."

Li Daozong touched his beard, and suddenly smiled weirdly, "If Qin Mubai was in Lanzhou, maybe it would be an obstacle to face, he would really be taken back to the capital by Chu Suiliang. Now it's alright, he puts oil on his feet first After taking a step, Chu Suiliang rushed into the air-there is still a princess Gao Yang who can't help the heavenly king, I see how Chu Suiliang handles it!"

Pang Fei led Chu Suiliang to the back residence of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and made a special trip to visit the princess. Pang Jieling, first invited Chu Suiliang to the hall to serve tea, and then said he was going to invite Princess Gaoyang. However, some of these twists and turns were at stake, and first made it clear to Princess Gao Yang.

When Princess Gao Yang heard this, she was immediately annoyed, and said bitterly: "It's just these princes, who only know the love between our monarchs, fathers and daughters! If you ask us to come back to Beijing to stay, don’t you just dislike Bai Gonggao? The master is shaken, do you want to get him back and cut his military power?"

"The princess calms down." Pang Fei eagerly said in a low voice, "Is this an outsider's slander or your majesty's own idea? It's still unclear. After all, Chu Suiliang just said that the princess and her husband should go back to Beijing for a little stay, and both It is not compulsory, it is impeccable human relations. It can be seen that even if the idea is your Majesty’s own, your Majesty is very cautious, just for fear of causing unnecessary misunderstanding."

Princess Gao Yang's eyes lit up, and she nodded gently, "It's also... that's the case, I can't get angry or make it clear, but it seems that we have a ghost in our heart. However, my father is more careful , My heart becomes more anxious. According to his old man’s usual style, he is vigorous and resolute. Now he is so cautious with Mu Bai... Pang Fei, do you think your master is really powerful?"

Pang Fei was startled, and he said, "How much...maybe a little bit! After all...it has taken the entire plateau country, and Tubo is much stronger than the original Turkic Khanate!" /

"Look at what you look like!" Princess Gao Yang gave him an annoyed look, "Lead the way! I'll see Chu Suiliang!"

When Chu Suiliang saw Princess Gaoyang, he bowed head-on, "Weichen pays respects to Princess Qiantui!"

"Chu Xianggong exempted the gift." Princess Gao Yang regained her arrogance and dignity in the imperial palace. She sat down and said with a smile on her face. "Chu Xianggong came to Lanzhou not far away, but the husband and wife Please forgive me for failing to leave Guo Yuanying." Chu Suiliang said hurriedly: "What is your Royal Highness's words, how dare you let the ministers come out?"

"Are you an angel emperor, Mu Bai should go out to greet you." Princess Gao Yang continued to smile, "It's just a pity that Mu Bai had already led troops to the Western Regions a few days ago. There is a war there. Well, the fight was impossible. The palace heard that Su Dingfang had won a few rounds first, and then the battle was a little stalemate. Mu Bai was so annoyed that he would never finish when he returned to the mansion all day, for fear of insulting the errands that His Majesty gave him. No, he was worried, and led the troops by himself."

"Chu Suiliang works for the monarch and worry for the country, and he is really the minister of the society and society." Chu Suiliang responded to the mansion with a spear. He didn't know that the princess Gaoyang in front of him was the number one thorn in the sky, and even the emperor didn't know her. It's okay to provoke anyone, don't provoke her, or leave anything behind her.

"Oh, my palace hasn't asked yet, why is Chu Xianggong here?" Princess Gao Yang asked with a smile.

Chu Suiliang took a deep breath and said, "Weichen gave an order from your majesty to ask the princess and her husband to stay in Beijing for a few days. Your majesty said that the princess has been away from Beijing for a long time, and the concubine De Concubine misses the princess very much. I want to see the little princess who I’ve never met..."

Speaking of Concubine Yin De, Princess Gao Yang faintly touched her heart. Why didn't she miss her mother in Chang'an?

"Father and mother, are you okay?" she asked softly.

"Okay. Your Majesty and Consort De consort are good." Chu Suiliang replied carefully.

"I miss them very much too..." Princess Gao Yang stood up with a long sigh, paced slowly, and said, "But Xiaodier is still too young, and I am worried that she cannot withstand the fatigue of the journey. Again. In addition to her recent physical illness, I am worried that she is on the road..."

Chu Suiliang's heart was shocked--heard the princess's tone, and didn't want to return to the capital!

At this time, Chu Suiliang quickly thought about it: It happened that Qin Mubai had already taken a step first, and he didn't know if he did it intentionally or just by coincidence. No matter what, I am sure I will not go back to Qin Mubai. Since Qin Mubai can't return to the capital, I can't invite Princess Gaoyang and the young princess back alone. If Qin Mubai knows, don't you think I will take them back to the capital as a hostage? In case he is angry with the emperor and the court because of this incident, wouldn't I, Chu Suiliang, become a big sinner? ...Furthermore, the emperor’s decree was ambiguous, and did not force Qin Mubai and Princess Gaoyang to go back—the emperor didn’t want to offend the two of them, so why bother with Chu Suiliang? Do stupid things in the middle? In case there is a contradiction between the emperor and the horse, in the end, I will not be human on both sides!

This royal family affair is difficult to mix!

Thinking about this, Chu Suiliang has an idea in mind. He said to Princess Gao Yang with a worried expression: "Your Royal Highness's concern is not unreasonable! His Royal Highness wants to come to Chang'an but is only one year old. The journey from Lanzhou to Chang'an travels thousands of miles. The suffering of this journey is unbearable for adults, not to mention. The little princess is still young and sick."

"Yeah! Hey...!" Princess Gao Yang shook her head and sighed, "I miss Chang'an very much when I have been away from Beijing, and I miss my father and mother and concubine, and I hope that Xiao Dier will be able to share the joy of our parents together. Originally, my palace urged the consort more than once and asked him to accompany us back to Chang'an when he finished fighting in Tubo. Originally, he also agreed. Who knows that something happened in the Western Regions-Chu Xianggong, you don’t know, the consort has always been a state affairs It's important that we never miss major events because of the love of our children. Therefore, our palace is helpless. I had to wait for the consort to return from the expedition, and then take the flute with him, and go back to Beijing to apologize to my father and mother!"

"For the time being, that's the only way." Chu Suiliang sighed and said, "Loyalty and filial piety are hard to achieve, and it's really not easy for Qin's husband and wife! ——If you dare to ask your Royal Highness, the minister will take the princess just now. Reply to your Majesty what you said, can you?"

"Yes." Princess Gao Yang nodded with a smile, "By the way, when Lao Chu Xianggong went back, I took the portrait of my palace and Xiao Di'er. In other words, Xiao Di'er is very well-behaved and more obedient than when I was a child. ."

"Yes, Weichen must bring it."

So, Chu Suiliang didn't say much. This trip was a waste of time.
