Chapter 556 Xiaoyaoxing

The autumn sun shines on Qiongyu Villa. The sycamore leaves fall, and the maple forest is red.

"Dad, I won't practice!" Xiaolouer slapped a pair of small palms on the strings of the Guzheng, pouted her little mouth and said coquettishly, "You let your brothers and sisters ride a big horse, and I'm going to sit here and play the piano. Don't do it!"

Qin Mubai laughed and handed the little flute in his arms to Xingtai Shuangshuang and said, "Then Dad will also let you ride the big horse, and then you have to practice the piano well, okay?"

"Good, good!" The small building slapped and smiled happily, "I'm going to ride a big horse for three laps!"

"Oi, come on!" Qin Mubai lay down, and Dantai Dandan held the small building and rode on Qin Mubai's body, and got up on the ground.

The small building giggled with joy, and the whole family was amused. For a long time, they laughed loudly.

Who would have thought that the young commander of Kansai Qin, who led thousands of troops to dominate the battlefield and was invincible and frightened the enemy, would be like this when he arrived at home?

She was having a good time. Chen Yan came in, took Xiao Louer down and said, "No, Louer, don't be naughty, practice the piano obediently."

"Oh..." Xiaolou has always listened to his mother's words. He had a good time and climbed down obediently to practice the piano.

Qin Mubai clapped his hands and stood up and said, "What can I do for you?"

Chen Yan nodded and motioned Qin Mubai to go out.

When the two of them went out of the door, Chen Yan said, "Qin Shi is back, just in the front hall."

Qin Mubai's heart moved and nodded, "I'll see him."

So he came to the main hall of the front house and saw Qin Shi, dressed as a business traveler, waiting there. Before the conversation, Qin Shi greeted him and bowed down, "I've seen the master!"

"Get well." Qin Mubai quickly aroused him and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Tell me, how's the situation in Chang'an?

"I went to meet the eldest son secretly!" The first sentence of Qin Shi's opening aroused Qin Mubai's interest. He said, "The eldest son told me that after hearing about the assassination of King Wu, his Majesty suddenly fell seriously ill. Later, Chu Suiliang and others investigated the assassination case clearly. It turned out that it was Wei Ting, the imperial historian, who did it! However, Wei Ting later committed suicide in fear of crime! It was at this time that the King of Jin, who went north to Taiyuan to worship his ancestors, suddenly disappeared!"

"Oh? ..." Qin Mubai was shocked when he heard this. He thought for a moment and said, "What else did you say, big brother?"

"The eldest son asked me to pass you a sentence, that is..." Qin Shi hesitated for a moment and said, "There are only eight words. I am loyal to my family. I hope you remember!"

Qin Mubai smiled slightly, "My eldest brother is loyal and patriotic, and he is very straightforward with his father's personality. These eight words should indeed come from him.

"Master... I heard a lot of rumors in Chang'an." Qin Shi said, "There is a rumor in the market that the emperor ordered Li Jing to mention the soldiers and horses of the capital to strengthen the defense in order to prevent the master from rioting against the army. The little man was really angry when he heard it!"

"What's there to be angry about?" Qin Mubai smiled and said, "I asked you to spread rumors, didn't you just want this result?"

Qin Shi was stunned, "So the master wants to test whether the court trusts you?"

"No more." Qin Mubai waved his hand indifferently, "Anyway, I have resigned and will leave Lanzhou in the future."

"Ah? ..." Qin Shi was shocked, and then grinned calmly, "It's good to resign!"

"Why?" Qin Mubai asked with a smile.

"If it were me, I would also resign!" Qin Shiyi said indignantly, "The master made great achievements for the birth and death of the Tang Dynasty, but because of a little market rumor, the court regarded the master as a thief to guard against it!" This is so chilling! - If the court treats the master just like the master treats the villain, then such a court is worth working for him!"

Qin Mubai laughed and then said, "Qin Shi, I'm going to leave. It's time for the two of us to separate. At least you are also a five-grade guerrilla general, and Jue Lu. Let's go to the customs! Make a family business and live a good life in the future.

"No! The villain would rather die than leave!" Qin Shippu knelt down and said, "What general, Juelu, it's not what the villain wants at all!" The greatest hope of the villain in his life is to follow his master forever and never leave!"

Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Don't you want the Juelu and Tianyu that the court gave you? Those things are enough for your children and grandchildren to have no worries about food and clothing. At least you can be a rich gentry.

"No! The master and ministers have to abandon their officials. Why do they want the villains to eat those Juelu? Don't, don't kill me!" Qin Shi lay on the ground and kowtowed, "Where the master goes, he will take the villain!"

Qin Mubai pulled him up with a smile, "Okay! I also promised Niu Wuzhi Master and Apprentice and others to take good care of you. Just go with me!"

"Thank you, master!" Qin Shi got up happily and suddenly remembered another thing and said, "When I entered the villa just now, I saw General Pang Feipang wandering in front of the gate of the villa, but I didn't dare to come forward and knock on the door. He asked me to send a message to the master, saying... I want to see the master for the last time!"

Qin Mubai was silent for a moment and sighed, "Okay... Qin Shi, go and call him in. Then go to General Xue Rengui's house again and ask him to meet me at dinner.

Qin Shi took the promise and left. After a while, Pang Fei came in.

Qin Mubai sat in the hall and looked at him quietly. Pang Fei entered the hall and didn't dare to look at Qin Mubai. He lowered his head and walked forward. He knelt down on his knees and put his head to the ground, but he didn't say anything.

"Is there nothing to say?" Qin Mubai broke the silence.

Pang Fei knelt down and straightened his body. Qin Mubai saw that his face was still bruised and swollen, and he was beaten by Yuwen Hongtai. He said, "Students had no face to meet their teachers, but this time they said goodbye... I'm afraid there will be no day to see each other in this life. No matter how the teacher looks at the students, in the eyes of the students, the teacher... be a teacher for a day, a father for a lifetime!"

"I believe you." Qin Mubai said without thinking, "Pang Fei, in fact, I have never blamed you. You don't have to feel guilty."

"It's because my teacher doesn't blame me that I feel guilty." Pang Fei still lowered his head and did not dare to look up at Qin Mubai. He said, "If the teacher can scold and beat the students like General Yuwen, the students will feel better."

"Forget it, everyone has their own aspirations." Qin Mubai smiled, picked up a box that had already been prepared next to him, and said to him, "The army has been resting for a while since the Western Expedition has returned. I have already gone to the court. Please transfer the expedition and horses back to the imperial court. I believe that the Ministry of War will be issued soon. Pang Fei, this is the Kansai army tiger charm and my general seal and official seal. Please take it back to Chang'an and give it to the court.

Pang Fei was stunned and said, "Master... want to resign?"

"That's right." Qin Mubai said lightly, "Don't ask too much. 300,000 troops, I will give it to you to bring back to Chang'an. Tomorrow, you can leave. On the way, you can meet the order of the Ministry of War and be allowed to enter the customs.

"Students dare to ask, why do you have to leave early, instead of waiting for the military department to arrive in Lanzhou?" Pang Feidao.

Qin Mubai smiled and said, "You don't have to ask more questions. Just do as I said. As long as the Kansai army is under the rule of the governor's office, there will be no problem. You don't have to worry about this."

Pang Fei is a smart man. When he thinks about it, he actually understands the intention of Qin Mubai's move. The look on his face suddenly became more and more sad, and he whispered, "Master, are you really insisting on leaving us and abandoning the government alone?"

Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Don't worry, although I have abandoned the official and left, I have arranged the future and way out of each of you. Including you, Pang Fei.

Pang Fei's teeth clenched tightly, and finally he couldn't help crying and kowtowed on the ground, "Student... I'm ashamed of my teacher!"

Qin Mubai didn't want to say too much to Pang Fei, so he said, "Actually, I didn't do anything. You don't have to do that. After the generals of the Kansai army return to the court, they will be rewarded by the court and entrusted with heavy use. Take something and let's go!"

Pang Fei couldn't stand it. He knelt down with his head on the ground and burst into tears.

Qin Mubai sighed, picked up the box a few steps forward, and put it in front of Pang Fei's head. "Pang Fei, in fact, in the end, I still said that. You and I are masters and apprentices, but we are actually brothers. The so-called brother is like a brother and sister, which is a lifetime.

Pang Fei sobbed, and suddenly hugged Qin Mubai's feet tightly with his hands. He sobbed, but he couldn't speak.

"There is a feast in the world. Let go!"

Pang Fei was stunned, and then slowly let go of his hand.

"In the future, please be a good person and an official. It's not humiliating. You and I used to be brothers!" Qin Mubai raised his feet and strode away.

Pang Fei knelt there with his head on his head and hasn't got up for a long time. It was not until Chen Yan came to call him that he got up and picked up the box containing the seal official.

"Don't worry, teacher. In this life, Pang Fei will remember your last teaching - be a good man and an official!"

Chen Yan sighed gently and said, "General Pang, if you can really do these eight words, it will not waste Mubai's painstaking efforts."

Pang Fei nodded gently, "In fact, I know that the teacher's resignation is not just for his own safety and protection, but for the sake of our brothers!"

"Yes!" Chen Yan sighed lightly, "The court is afraid of Bai Gong Gao Zhenzhu. The fierce generals under his command are like clouds of meritorious officials. The power is too huge enough to affect the major decisions of the court. So he took the initiative to give up his authority and leave. In this way, the generals and soldiers of the Kansai army have no head, and it is difficult to gather the crowd without threats. The court can also measure and control you separately. That's why Mu Bai said that he has arranged the future and way out for all of you - in fact, he doesn't have to deliberately arrange it. As long as he retreats, you can all enjoy peace and walk peacefully!"

Pang Fei gritted his teeth and nodded, speechless.

Chen Yan added, "By the way, these words are not what Mu Bai said, but what I paid attention to. General Pang wants to tell His Majesty these words... I have no problem with them."

Pang Fei was stunned and suddenly felt ashamed. They didn't dare to look directly at Chen Yan. They bent down and bowed, and slowly withdrew.

Chen Yan looked at Pang Fei's distant figure, shook her head and sighed softly, "Famousness and wealth are like a golden prison. The people inside want to escape, but the people outside desperately want to get inside. Now, Mu Bai is about to escape from his relief, but how many people like Pang Fei are squeezing their heads and drilling into it?

In the evening, Xue Rengui came at the appointment. We haven't seen each other for a long time, and Xue Rengui has been worried about Qin Mubai's "ill condition". Now that Qin Mubai is safe and sound, he also breathes a sigh of relief.

Qin Mubai left him for dinner and said to him, "Rengui, in the last two days, Pang Fei is going to lead the Kansai army back to the court. After returning to the court, the generals should have a leisure holiday. Why don't you take an early vacation and go to the northern grassland with me?

"It suits me." Xue Rengui smiled and said, "Originally, the young commander didn't say anything, and I was also going to ask the governor's office for a holiday. I still remember that we made an appointment a long time ago. When the Western Expedition is over, I will go to the grassland to pick up Xiyan. Now, it's time!"

"Well, you can prepare it when you go back. We will leave early tomorrow morning." Qin Mubai said with a smile.

"Good." Xue Rengui nodded happily and agreed, "According to the agreement, the young commander has to go to the grassland to marry Mrs. Ashina, right? Xue congratulated you in advance, haha! When the young commander finishes the wedding, let's go back to Chang'an together.

"No." Qin Mubai smiled slightly and said lightly, "After I fulfill my promise to hold the wedding, I will go directly from Mobei to Samojian. From now on, I will never return to the Central Plains.

Xue Rengui's eyes widened, "Young commander, do you... want to resign?"

Qin Mubai nodded, "I have resigned."

"This! ..." Xue Rengui was shocked, "How could the court allow it?"

"I don't need their permission." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Rengui, we will talk about these things in detail when we have time in the future. Go back early to prepare. Let's leave early tomorrow. I'm afraid... If it's a little late, Qin won't be able to leave!"

"Okay..." Xue Rengui sighed and didn't say much, so he ate and drank.

After the meal, Xue Rengui left, and the Qin family became busy. Pack up and take some carriages in case you start early tomorrow.

Qin Mubai was not idle to help together. Just then, he suddenly clapped his hands and said, "I almost forgot that there is still a big fool in the prison!"

Chen Yan smiled and said, "Why don't I go for a walk, get him out, and take him with me tomorrow?"

"Go!" Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Fighting is not a big crime. Go to see Xiao Liang and redeem him for Hong Tai! If I leave and leave him in Lanzhou, who knows what will happen to the nerd!"

"I'm going now." Chen Yan nodded and said, "What about Princess Gaoyang, who is still in Chang'an?"

"Don't worry, she will be fine." Qin Mubai said, "Sooner or later we will be reunited, but we can't stay here and wait for her now. Otherwise, it will change. I'm afraid that the court won't let me go. So, let's go first to avoid being passive.

"That's good." Chen Yan nodded and smiled, "Mu Bai, tomorrow, we will break free from the shackles together. I hope that from now on, our family can really be happy!"

Qin Mubai took a long breath and smiled, "That's... a must!"
