Chapter 516 Miracle

Princess Gaoyang returned to the back house, hurriedly found Chen Yan and said to her, "Sister Yan, we can't stay in Lanzhou for a long time!"

"Why?" Chen Yan asked in surprise.

Princess Gaoyang's eyebrows were deeply locked, and she gritted her teeth and said with hatred, "In the court, I don't know who slandered my father, saying that Mu Baigong was shocked by the Lord or had a bad heart. Well, my father sent Chu Suiliang to invite us to go back to Chang'an together. Fortunately, Mu Bai took a step earlier, and Chu Suiliang had to take me and Xiao Dier back to Beijing, but I refused to prevaricate. I'm thinking that my father is a salute before soldiers. This time it's a request, and the next time, it may be 'catch'. Therefore, we must leave Chang'an, go to the Western Regions, and stay with Mu Bai!"

Chen Yan was slightly shocked and pondered for a long time, but she shook her head and said, "Princess, I'm the opposite of what you think."

"Oh?" Princess Gaoyang said in surprise, "You mean, we can't go?"

"Absolutely don't leave." Chen Yan said seriously, "I don't know what the emperor and ministers think in their hearts. I just feel that people are not afraid of shadows. Since Mu Bai does not have any uninvasiveness or actions, how can he be afraid? He is now leading an expedition to be loyal to the country, not to be scheming. What are we panicking about? - But if we run away to find him in the Western Regions at this time, it will be confirmed that Mu Bai has a different heart! Therefore, we can't go!"

Hearing this, Princess Gaoyang nodded silently, and her expression suddenly faded.

"Princess, what's wrong with you?" Chen Yan asked with concern.

Princess Gaoyang took Chen Yan's hand and said helplessly and sadly, "Sister Yan, if one day, Mu Bai and my father fight, who should I help?"

Chen Yan was stunned and said hurriedly, "There will be no day."

"I mean - if!" Princess Gaoyang said stubbornly, "Now, I seem to have seen some bad signs. My father doesn't trust Mu Bai as much as we think. In other words, the emperor will never completely trust a minister.

Chen Yan sighed gently, shook her head again and said, "I don't know. To be honest, I have never had a good impression on people in officialdom, and Mu Bai is the only exception. In my opinion, whether it is an emperor or a general, anyone who is in the power field will sooner or later be like a demon and can't help it. In their opinion, anything but power and interests can be abandoned. Including family affection, love, and even others.

"Is that why you left Mu Bai and gave birth to a small building alone?" Princess Gaoyang asked.

"It's true!" Chen Yan smiled and said, "Although Mu Bai is pure and not a treacherous person, as long as he is still an official for a day, he will inevitably suffer from these troubles in the officialdom. We know Mu Bai and know that he has no heart, but outsiders don't think so, especially his political opponents in the court don't think so. Princess, you don't have to think too badly. The emperor just wants to invite you home to have a look. Maybe he doesn't mean anything else?

"Sister Yan, you don't know my father." Princess Gaoyang said, "No matter what he does, he is a fierce and iron-handed method. Only this time when I and Mu Bai returned to Beijing, they used a rather soft word 'please' and said that they let Mu Bai decide whether to go to Chang'an and when to go. This is too abnormal - in the final analysis, my father is a little afraid of Mu Bai now. Otherwise, he can issue a holy edict. Is there any reason for Mu Bai and I not to go?

"That is to say, even the emperor is a little scared now, because he accidentally offended Mu Bai?" Chen Yan was also a little surprised.

"It's not!" Princess Gaoyang was a little anxious, "What will it mean for a minister who makes the king to be careful?"

Chen Yan took a deep breath and slowly spit it out. She frowned and meditated for a long time. Suddenly, she said, "Princess, why don't you go back to Beijing, meet your father and emperor, and explain everything clearly to face to face. Otherwise, it's really not good to be suspicious and estranged from each other!"

"I can't go!" Princess Gaoyang said anxiously, "Mu Bai went on an expedition, but my father took me and Xiao Dier back to Chang'an. In the eyes of Mu Bai and outsiders, isn't this the way to take us back to Chang'an as hostages? - People's words are terrible!"

"In contrast, these gossips are far less serious than the emperor's suspicion of Mu Bai." Chen Yan said decisively, "The emperor sent a prime minister and invited the three of you back to Beijing very politely. If none of you go, it really doesn't make sense. Why don't you go to Chang'an Miansheng, and the little princess will escape from the inconvenience and stay in Lanzhou to be taken care of by me and the wet nurse. After all, between you and the emperor, there is a deep love between father and daughter. If he really doesn't even believe you, then Mu Bai will return to Chang'an, you can imagine. But I believe that rumors stop at the wise, and the emperor and Mu Bai are both wise and resourceful people. Therefore, if there is any gossip, don't worry about him!"

Princess Gaoyang's silver teeth clenched for a little thought, and nodded decisively - "Okay! I just went home to visit my father and mother, not the Longtan Tiger's Lair. What am I afraid of?! After all, this world is still the world of my Li family. Mu Bai is my son-in-law of the Li family. No matter who dares to play tricks on him, I will definitely make him die ugly! When I get back to Chang'an, I will see clearly who the treacherous sleas are slandering in my father's ear and provoking our father and daughter! If I find this person, I will kill him with a sword. It will never be tolerated!!"

"Don't be too impulsive." Chen Yan patiently persuaded her and said, "In addition, you have to write a letter to tell him that you have taken the initiative to return to Chang'an because you miss your parents. Otherwise, if Mu Bai knows these things through other people's words, it is really hard to guarantee whether he will think too much. This is how many misunderstandings and contradictions arise!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Princess Gaoyang said three pairs of words in a row and hurriedly said, "I have to tell Uncle Huang and Pang Fei not to report to Mu Bai that Chu Suiliang had been here!" Otherwise, he is far away in the Western Regions, which is not conducive to him fighting with soldiers!"

"Hmm! That's it!"

A few days later, Qin Mubai led his army to Gaochang, the first stop of the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions.

At the beginning, Xue Rengui went and pointed back to Gaochang. After Gaochang Wang Yu Zhisheng surrendered under the pressure of Nanting, this place became Xizhou under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, under the jurisdiction of Anxi Dadu Protectorate, and there were five counties under its jurisdiction. Since the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate has not been officially established, Xizhou is just a foreign military town, with several generals left by Su Dingfang and more than a thousand Guanxi military guards.

Today, Gaochang City still retains the former residence of the "Anxi Capital Protector" where Qin Shubao lived in those years. Qin Mubai, Xue Rengui, Yuwen Hongtai and other generals entered the city together and came here.

The house is not big, and there is a gray and white board hanging at the door, with the words "Dadu Hufu" written on it.

Seeing this forehead plaque, Qin Mubai's heart seemed to have been pricked by a needle, and suddenly shrank into a ball with tingling pain.

This is Qin Shubao's handwriting.

Yuwen Hongtai has rushed into the house first and saw that although the courtyard was cleaned, it was empty. On the left side of the big yard entering the door is a row of horse stumps and grass and arrow piles, which is the place where Qin Shubao and Yuwen Hongtai and others practice martial arts.

When they broke through that night, everyone stood in the courtyard and vowed to leave.

Seeing things and thinking about people, Yuwen Hongtai came forward and cried with those arrows in his arms, which made Qin Mubai and Xue Rengui want to comfort him.

Everyone walked into the main hall again, with two rows of chairs and a main case in the hall; behind the hall was a bedroom and a bed, which was so simple and shabby that it was not like the residence of a feudal official in Xinjiang at all.

It was quiet around, no one spoke, and everyone's mood was a little heavy.

Qin Mubai slowly walked to the case, pulled away the handsome chair, and sat down in front of him.

The left hand case is thin and the right hand inkstone, the three pens in front of the right and the pressed paper jade stone, just like the decoration of Qin Shubao's study at home, simple and clear, neat and meticulous.

Qin Mubai put his elbows on the table, crossed his fingers and pressed his forehead, closing his eyes and concentration.

The past is vivid in my mind. A scene of getting along with my father when I was at home came to my mind.

The picture is vivid, and the voice is there.

Unexpectedly, when he said goodbye to Lanzhou that year, Qin Mubai went back to Chang'an to get married, but from then on, he and his father.

Later, my father's death directly triggered a earth-shaking reversal.

Gao Chang has recovered, and Tubo has calmed down. Now the command of the Tang Dynasty has penetrated into the hinterland of the Western Regions.

......

"Young commander, there is a letter from Lanzhou..." Xue Rengui's voice interrupted Qin Mubai's meditation.

"Oh, get it." Qin Mubai took a deep breath and returned to reality.

It turned out to be a letter written by Princess Gaoyang, which said that she had returned to Chang'an Province because she missed her father and mother. Xiao Dier was too young to travel, so he stayed at home and let Chen Yan take care of him, so that Qin Mubai didn't have to worry.

After reading the letter, Qin Mubai smiled and said, "As expected, not long after I left, the court sent someone to ask me to go back to Beijing. As a result, I was not here. Gao Yang was worried that the emperor would be suspicious of me, so he went to Chang'an to defend himself. Ling Xing was worried about my misunderstanding and deliberately wrote a book to stabilize me.

The generals were a little surprised and asked, "The court asked you to go back at this time. Is it bad for you?"

Qin Mubai smiled and didn't say much. He folded up the letter and said, "Big man, go straight. I won't pay attention to those empty winds. Perhaps the imperial court is about to appoint a crown prince, so it is necessary to recall some feudal officials who lead the troops outside in order to stabilize the political situation. Not good for me? There is no way to start with this. I, Qin, have only contributed to the society! - In this case, don't talk about it again, so as not to confuse the army!"

"Yes!"

"Report - There is a Western Expedition General Su Dingfang Kuai Ma Jun Bao!"

Everyone's face turned straight, "Come in time. We just arrived in Gaochang!"

"Batch it!"

Qin Mubai opened the emergency military report and looked at it, and his face suddenly changed slightly, "This is new! How dare you jump out of such an enemy!"

"What's the matter, young commander?"

Qin Mubai handed the military newspaper in his hand to Xue Rengui, "Big Food Invasion! You can see for yourself!"

The generals were very surprised and hurried to check the military newspaper together.

"Report - Nanting Urgent Report on Military News!"

"Here we go again!!"

When everyone looked at the military situation sent by Nanting, the mood became more solemn and the atmosphere became more tense.

It turned out that Su Dingfang led his army to Samujian, Kangguo, to deal with emergencies, and found the food that was about to invade. Originally, the coalition's siege of Gongyue City had been taken, but just a few days after Su Dingfang left, the coach of the North Court suddenly launched a counterattack against Gongyue City. The Nanting allied forces, which had just won, were caught off guard and left. The head coach of the South Court, Ba Ximi, died on the spot!

Soon, the mud sip took advantage of the victory to annihilate all the way, and directly killed the Suihe water tooth tent in Nanting. At present, 200,000 troops are besieging the tooth tent. Nanting's new defeat is low morale, and there is a shortage of major generals in front of Khan's tents. The situation is extremely critical, so he has to rush to the hospital. While rescuing Su Dingfang of Kang, he asks for help from the Tang army on Gaochang's side.

"Xue Rengui!" Qin Mubai shouted loudly.

"The end will be!" Xue Rengui answered loudly.

"I order you to lead the headquarters to ride 30,000 as the vanguard, and immediately set off to Suiheshui to solve the danger of the southern court!" Qin Mubai ordered, "Remember, you can't fall in love and don't chase, just get out of the siege!"

"No!" Xue Rengui loudly responded to the general's order, and strode out.

"It's the pioneer surnamed Xue again!" Yuwen Hongtai muttered beside him.

"What, do you have a problem?" Qin Mubai glanced at him.

"No, I have no opinion..." Yuwen Hongtai was suddenly quite ashamed and his neck shrank.

Everyone couldn't help but think of Yuwen Hongtai's only battle against the vanguard on the Tubo Plateau. If it hadn't been for the critical moment, Qin Mubai had sent a fire god to help him, and he would have almost lost his life. From then on, the army called him 'Yuwen Pioneer'. But when he heard this nickname, Yuwen Hongtai blushed, as if a thief had been caught.

"Yuwen Hongtai!!" Qin Mubai shouted.

"In!!" Yuwen Hongtai is in high spirits.

"I ordered you to lead 50,000 elite soldiers in the headquarters, and then set off to meet Xue Rengui. Remember to bring more medicine, grain and rice with you. Presumably, Nanting's dental tent has been besieged for a long time, and there is an urgent shortage of these materials. Qin Mubai said.

"Yes!" Yuwen Hongtai also took the general order and strode to chase Xue Rengui.

"All the generals will listen to the order!" Qin Mubai shouted, "After returning to the camp, order to pull out the camp!" The army accelerated forward, and the target was Nanting Tooth Account!"

"No!!"

Less than an hour after entering Gaochang City, Qin Mubai and others came out again and returned to the barracks.

The order was issued. After the sergeants hurriedly buried the pot and filled their stomachs, the marching stove that had just been dug was filled, and the huge camp of the 200,000 army was pulled up immediately after it was pierced.

Xue Rengui went into battle lightly and led 30,000 elites to ride first. Yuwen Hongtai then set off and set out with a large number of supplies.

When the camp was busy, it unexpectedly rained heavily. Gaochang is located in the basin, but when the temperature changes, it is prone to sudden showers in spring, summer and autumn.

The heavy rain soon stopped, but a rainbow hung in the far northwest sky. Soon the sharp-eyed sergeants shouted - "Brothers, look! Is that a general?!"

Everyone was stunned. Looking along, they saw that between the mountains in the distance, there was really a beautiful man with a knife, standing facing southeast. That posture is indeed eight or nine degrees like Qin Shubao!

Qin Mubai took a look and was stunned! - Father, how could he stand in the rainbow?!

"The general has manifested and manifested!" The sergeants were deeply shocked, and countless people hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.

At this time, many people in Gaochang City also saw this strange scene from afar. They knelt down and bowed, shouting "God's blessing"!

Qin Mubai was also really shocked and confused for a moment. He almost really believed that he was his father and appeared on earth. He sent people to ask the people, and the people replied, but after the thunderstorm, the "true god" Qin Shubao would show a miracle in the northwest of Flame Mountain! Because of this, Qin Shubao has now become the guardian god worshipped by all merchants on the Silk Road. He is the true god who is deeply believed in the hearts of the Western Regions!

After listening to it, Qin Mubai began to be as stunned and even shocked as everyone else. After thinking about it later, I realized that Gaochang people had built a huge statue of Qin Shubao on this Flame Mountain for forgiveness and remembrance. After the thunderstorm, the rainbow appeared as an optical phenomenon along the way. All kinds of coincidences made the statue of Qin Shubao also appear in the rainbow. From a distance, it's really like a "mise".

"Order - stop kowtowing and send troops immediately!" Qin Mubai ordered loudly, "With the protection of my father's handsome spirit, the Kansai army will be invincible and invincible!!"

"Invincible in battle, invincible invincible attack!!" Sergeants, the mountain is full of tsunami.

The morale has soared!!

......

Qin Mubai got on the horse, dressed up, looked at his father's shadow between the ethereal rainbows, and whispered, "Father... Sanlang, finally set foot on the land of the Western Regions and stood in the position you stood in those years. I swear, I will completely conquer the Western Regions and flatten all the enemies here! ... to comfort you, your spirit in heaven!"
