Chapter thirty-fifth love in harmony
"Shaoning, are you really sure we don't have to follow?" Duan Lang asked with some concern. He was very confused about Xiao Yunqi's move to release Dan Tai Qiu'an. "This man is leading troops to wipe out us. Wasn't he going back and taking over the army back?"
"The general must have a reason for making such a decision. We are busy rushing to go, so you can be quieter!" The words were Yanzhi, yes, it was Yanzhi. Now Yanzhi has regarded Xuan Shaoning as her husband. No matter where Xuan Shaoning goes, she will follow him. It is useless to persuade anyone, and of course, it also includes Xuan Shaoning himself.
"Yanzhi, you don't know martial arts, you can't help me with us." Duan Lang successfully angered Yanzhi, and she waited for Taohuayan. "I'm useless? Don't ask me for treatment if you are injured!"
Xuan Shaoning had no choice but to come and rescue him: "Okay, Yanzhi, Duan Lang is this person. He has no bad intentions, you know this."
Sure enough, as soon as Xuan Shaoning spoke, Yanzhi immediately changed from a shrew to a lady, and closed her expression and said softly: "I naturally know this. What I worry about the most is you. This capital is so dangerous. I don't want to wait for news alone in Mobei."
"So aren't you following you now? No matter how dangerous the capital is, I will feel much more at ease with you. You are my lucky star."
Ouch, Yanzhi's face turned red to the base of her neck. She never expected that Xuan Shaoning could say such love words, which was simply rare in a century. Yanzhi was stunned and had no other moves except shame.
Duan Lang found the opportunity, and he joked, "Oh, when did this happen? We are together every day, why didn't I know that you two are together? You are doing a good job of keeping a secret! Shaoning, could it be that Yanzhi took the initiative to pursue you?"
Before Yanzhi could completely close her shy face, she had already started to show disgust. "You are also very pitiful, and your eyes are blind at a young age!"
"I realized it was so late that I knew it. I am not young anymore. It's time to have a family. I think Rouge is suitable."
Yanzhi turned her head and went to Xuan Shaoning and immediately replied with a twisted look, looking like a bird dependent on others, which was apart from the confrontation with Duan Lang just now.
"You two can choose time. At this time, we are the only ones present!" Duan Lang was blessed in his heart, but he still refused to forgive them lightly.
"It's not because of you, otherwise we will definitely choose a formal occasion to announce it!" Yanzhi gave Duan Lang a blank look, and then began to look at Shen Ming who was already walking in front. He had been rushing to the road, not affected by the three people behind him at all. Yanzhi knew that Shen Ming would not have heard the conversation between them. She was more vigilant about him, remembering that her sister had warned her to pay attention to several people, including Shen Ming.
Xuan Shaoning rode his horse to follow and said to Shen Ming: "Senior Brother Shen, as long as Dan Tai Qiuan returns to the capital alive, there will be no business for us."
"Is it true?" Shen Ming said, "He will be useful. It would not be so easy for the general to let him go back."
Before Xuan Shaoning asked, Shen Ming had already started running. The journey from Mobei to Beijing was not short, so they had to hurry up. Dan Tai Qiuan had already left them far away, all of whom were carrying missions, so they could not joke around casually along the way.
As the end of the year approaches, the entire Daliang is about to enter the final New Year celebration, but this year is very different from previous years. Not only has the emperor changed, but the country has been divided, and half of the land is already under the control of the Xia Tang Dynasty. How should the people on these lands spend this new year?
The road from Mobei to the capital is no longer as smooth as before. The several states that we had to pass along the way were the territory of the Xia Tang Dynasty. Naturally, they set up checkpoints along the way, and anyone who passed by had to check. Xuan Shaoning and his four men dressed up as shepherds in Mobei, carrying a lot of skins with them. Facing the screening, they claimed that they had taken advantage of the New Year to enter the capital to sell skins. This set of rhetoric was quite useful, and they did not encounter any trouble along the way.
Dan Tai Qiuan, who had already lost his trace, had Xuan Shaoning and his group encountered it at the checkpoint. I guess many people could guess the reason. Dan Tai Qiuan could not give a reasonable explanation of his identity. Even if he wanted to hide his identity, his mind was useless. He was really flawed when talking about lies.
Chen Ming stepped forward and pulled Dan Tai Qiuan and slapped him. This slap made Dan Tai Qiuan confused himself. Chen Ming then handed a bag of silver to the Pancha Guard and said angrily: "This is my stupid brother, he is also a shepherd from Mobei. We originally wanted to go to the capital to sell some skin and make some money and come back. But I didn't know that this fool insisted on following us, and he would bother him. He also asked the official to give up his hands."
Dan Tai Qiuan wanted to say that when he saw the three people behind Chen Ming staring at him, he would have no confidence in an instant. Besides, if he exposed his identity, it would be no benefit. Dan Tai Qiuan tilted his head reluctantly, Chen Ming pointed at Dan Tai Qiuan and smiled at the guard general. He took the man's hand and the guard general was quite satisfied with his wallet, so he made a gesture of letting go. So, the five people became fellow travelers for the next period of the journey.
If you say that your wisdom is not as good as theirs, Dan Tai Qiuan still dares to admit it, but if you really want to do it, he is not sure, and his chances of winning by one-on-four are very low. Especially Chen Ming, his cold appearance and a long sword hidden in his skin, Dan Tai Qiuan still forced himself to swallow his anger.
After walking all the way, the five people were in peace. A few days later, they finally arrived at the capital city safely, the imperial city of Daliang. It was at his feet. Dan Tai Qiuan became arrogant. He no longer had to endure these people. He took off his feet.
The ugly skin with a unique smell of animal fur raised his head and planned to shout at the city gate guard.
"If you plan to shout, the consequences may not be good." Xuan Shaoning dissuaded in time: "Don't forget that the news of your death had spread throughout the capital. What identity do you plan to appear in front of everyone now?"
"Those who spread rumors should die!" Even if Dan Tai Qiuan was stupid, he should have thought it through the way. He began to understand that what Xuan Shaoning said made sense, but he was always incompatible with them, so he could not be surrendered now. "I will go back to the house first, and I will come to the palace to meet him in the future, so that everyone will know that I, Dan Tai Qiuan, is still alive."
"General Dan Tai, our agreement ends here. We were the task of escorting you at the beginning. Now that you have arrived safely, we will leave you here."
"It just so happens that I don't plan to see you again!" Dan Tai Qiuan raised his foot and was about to walk towards the city gate. Finally, his mind remembered why he went to Mobei and how should he report to Emperor Liang when he came back like this?
"etc!"
"How? Does General Tan Tai want to go back on his word?"
"I am also a soldier no matter how I say it. Soldiers always count on their words. You can rest assured that this is something. But today I have to explain my words to you clearly. Don't think that I will be grateful to you when I send me back. What are you thinking in your heart? Even if I can't figure it out for a moment, my brothers will know soon!"
"I hope you can also know what your brothers really are thinking as soon as possible." Chen Ming said coldly.
"I said General Dan Tai, we have arrived at the doorstep. We won't have too much talk here. Let's go back early and we will also go in and rest for a night." Duan Lang was very reluctant to call him that. He forced himself to suppress his temper because of Xuan Shaoning's face.
"You are going to enter the city?"
"What? Could it be that we can't even enter the city? We have to sleep in the open all the way and want to avoid the Tang people's investigation. We have to walk very hard. Unfortunately, this journey was originally our Daliang territory, but now we have to be so careful. I think General Dan Tai would not lead troops to capture us so untrustworthy."
Xuan Shaoning deliberately pointed out the topic, and Dan Tai Qiuan indeed put on a trap, "I will definitely defeat you one by one! That's on the battlefield, and I never bother to bully the few! If you want to enter the city, then go in. My goal is to capture Xiao Yunqi alive and completely wipe out your traitors!"
"General Tan Tai is so confident! Before we wiped out, please let the general see clearly. The place where the troops sent from the capital was the sphere of influence of the Tang Dynasty!"
