Chapter 523 Long-Acacia, See You Again

Now it is a formal occasion for diplomatic relations between the two countries, and Qin Mubai is not too much in the mood to spy on the queen's appearance. At present, he is in charge of the envoys, and Zhu Bancheng and Xiao Xuanwu submit the national letter and marshal's famous post. The other two auxiliary ministers of Kang Guo took over the national letter and the name sticker respectively, and returned the gift.

The Queen of Kang has been sitting on the throne. At the beginning, she only said, "Master Qin adheres to the great righteousness and led the royal master of the heavenly court to save our small country, and our country is deeply impressed." There is no other words. The ministers have always presided over this diplomatic ceremony.

But just this sentence made Qin Mubai's heart slightly excited... Unexpectedly, the queen of Kangguo could speak such fluent Chinese, and this voice is so familiar!

Although it came from a layer of yarn, every note she said seemed to have the magic that penetrated people's hearts, touching the heartstring that Qin Mubai had not touched for a long time.

Inadvertently, the image of the demon appeared in Qin Mubai's mind. The poor woman who once gave him the most selfless tenderness and deepest grief!

With his heart moved, Qin Mubai couldn't help raising his head and looking at the queen on the throne.

As if she had a good heart, the queen also looked at Qin Mubai.

The two people's eyes touched each other, and their hearts palpitated at the same time!

Although the queen only showed a pair of eyes, her eyes could not hide and told Qin Mubai that her heart was also throbbing.

On such an occasion, the two suddenly lost their mind together.

Qin Mubai couldn't help opening his eyes wide, showing surprise, and couldn't help muttering - "Demon?!"

Yes, he has seen this kind of look. Although I only saw it once, it was still a moment, and it was destined to make him unforgettable for the rest of his life - that is, when the demon returned to the light, his eyes that had been blind for many years suddenly saw the light again!

That look is like an awl, engraved the name of the demon in Qin Mubai's heart skeleton. In this life, it can never be extinguished!

Now, in Kangjuguo, I can read the look of the demon from the queen's eyes!

"Young commander...Young commander!" Xiao Xuanwu whispered, "Minister Kang, please stamp the handsome seal on their national letter..."

"Oh..." Qin Mubai suddenly came to his senses, smiled a little embarrassedly, and took out a handsome seal to cover it.

It's just the ceremony. The Minister of the State of Kang invited Xiao Xuanwu and other Tang generals to hold a banquet at the Kirintai; but told Qin Mubai that Her Majesty the Queen would hold a banquet in person in the harem to entertain the Marshal of the Celes and invite Qin Mubai to the harem for a banquet.

"Just right!" Qin Mubai readily agreed.

The queen got up from the throne, nodded gently to Qin Mubai, smiled and floated away.

Qin Mubai's heart throbled again, and even he himself was a little surprised: the expression when she smiled at me and the back when she walked seemed to be so familiar. Have we really seen it somewhere? It's weird! I haven't seen this woman's face yet. Why do I feel restless again and again today? Does this woman have any powers that can seduce people's spirits?

At this time, Su Lianqing came up, laughed twice and said, "Well, Commander Qin, can't you control it?"

"Ghost!" Qin Mubai stared at her.

"Isn't it? You know it in your heart." Su Lianqing continued to laugh and said, "When you go to the harem banquet, don't rely on alcohol! - Let me tell you, although Kangguo is a small country, their faith in religion is very devout! The queen is the widow of the former king. She must keep the festival. Don't..."

"Shut up! You talk so much. Who do you think I am?" Qin Mubai scolded angrily.

"Hey hey!" Su Lianqing smiled more and more depressingly, "Okay, I won't talk nonsense. I only convey the words left by the Wudong family, that is - don't be greedy and delay, come to the Sam River quickly!"

"Do you still need your advice?" Qin Mubai sneered, "Later, I will use the state banquet to complete the diplomatic etiquette, and I will immediately wave my troops north to the Sam River!" Greed? What are you greedy for! You must have made it up. How could she say such a thing!"

"Haha, you will know if Wu Mei Niang said it later - come with me. Her Majesty is waiting for you in the harem!" Su Lianqing mysteriously and proudly led the way forward.

Qin Mubai shook his head and smiled, and said secretly, what's the great thing about this queen? Could it make me forget Wu Mei Niang and the military affairs? - What a bullshit!!

Crossing the corridor and transferring ownership all the way, the exotic architecture and luxurious decoration along the way make Qin Mubai, who has seen more of the world, a little unnoticed.

It seems that there is nothing wrong with the rumors in the outside world. The palace of Kang is indeed a "golden palace". Take out a piece of agate from the wall from here, which is valuable to make people rich overnight.

The queen stood in a well pond statue garden in the harem, with only two maidservant beside her. Looking at that situation, it's not like preparing to entertain foreign guests, but more like waiting for a lover.

Su Lianqing led Qin Mubai to the garden and laughed a few times and slipped away. Seeing Qin Mubai coming in, the queen also rejected the only two maidservant around her.

White jade well pool, gurgling water; rockery statue, green shade. The birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and the sky is flowing clouds overhead.

Qin Mubai walked to the queen. The two stared into each other's eyes and forgot to say hello for a moment.

The more Qin Mubai looked at it, the more he felt that the woman in front of him was really too familiar!

"Your Majesty, please excuse me... I want to ask, have we ever seen each other somewhere?" Qin Mubai couldn't help talking.

The queen couldn't help covering her veil and smiling, "No."

"That's strange..." Qin Mubai frowned and stared at the queen's veil.

The veil is hazy. Although she can't fully see her appearance, she can also faintly see a trace of facial features.

The queen blushed and turned her head when she was stared at. "Why did Marshal Qin stare at me like this?"

"I'm sorry for being rude." Only then did Qin Mubai come to his senses and arched his hand and said, "I really feel that... Your Majesty is very familiar."

"That's..." The queen hesitated and said, "It's not strange."

"Isn't that strange?" Qin Mubai was a little surprised, "I came to Kangguo for the first time in my life. It is impossible to see Her Majesty, but why? ......”

"You will know later." The queen smiled mysteriously and said to Qin Mubai, "Young Commander Qin, the banquet is ready. When are you going to enter the banquet?"

"Anytime. It's all up to the Queen's arrangement."

"Then please!"

The two of them walked to a temple door one after the other.

Qin Mubai followed her two steps behind and looked at her back. This simple and luxurious golden moon robe outlines the queen's back a little hazy. Qin Mubai looked left and right, and clearly felt as if he had seen this woman somewhere.

He also has another feeling that this should be a high-ranking queen, and he does not have the popularity of a king. On the contrary, she is very friendly, just like a little sister in the Lin family. In particular, the way she looked at Qin Mubai, although there was a trace of strangeness and woman's unique shyness, it was more warmth and desire, just like staring at relatives or close friends who had been reunited for a long time.

"It's so similar!" Qin Mubai couldn't help saying something.

"What does it look like?" The queen stopped and asked.

"Your Majesty, it's very much like one of my... old friends." Qin Mubai said with a smile.

The queen smiled and said nothing. She walked forward slowly with a half-moon scepter and went straight into the dining hall.

There was a pair of bead curtain seats near the window in the north of the hall. The queen went to the bead curtain and sat down, inviting Qin Mubai to sit in the guest seat. Just now, when I sat down, I went in and out of a row of graceful palace girls in the hall, presented more than 30 pieces of gold plate gold tripods, and the food was also presented one after another.

Qin Mubai didn't pay attention to it at the beginning, but later found that these foods were all his favorite foods. Among them, there are not only famous dishes in the Tang Dynasty, but also Chang'an snacks, and even Jiangnan-style lotus root soup.

"The queen really has ulterior motives." Qin Mubai smiled gratefully and said, "It is difficult to find these ingredients in the Western Regions."

"I heard earlier that the young commander might come to Kangguo, so I sent many palace chefs to learn skills and prepare delicious meals for the young commander Qin. Of course, only Wu Mei Niang knows that you like the lotus root soup in Jiangnan. The queen said softly, "It must be very bitter for General Qin to march outside, and he is often a simple meal. Since you have come to the palace, treat this place as your own. You might as well stay for a few more days.

"This..." Qin Mubai smiled and picked up the glass on the other. "I give the Queen a toast!"

"Young commander, please." After the bead curtain, the queen slowly removed the white veil on her face.

Qin Mubai tried to wideen his eyes, but he still couldn't see the appearance of the person behind the curtain. He couldn't help saying regret in his heart.

The two of them drank each other, and Qin Mubai waited for a sip to drink. Unexpectedly, the wine was extremely strong, and it was actually "Qin Xian wine"!

He was accidentally choked. Qin Mubai laughed at himself and said, "I forgot that Mei Niang's caravan came to Kangguo, and there must be Qin Xianjiu with him!"

"Young commander and Mei Niang... What an enviable couple!" A faint sigh came from behind the bead curtain.

Qin Mubai smiled and said, "It's really a coincidence that Mei Niang came to Kangguo and became the first assistant minister in front of Her Majesty. If it weren't for the fact in front of me, I really couldn't believe it.

"To tell you the truth, I don't want to sit on this throne, and I always know myself and don't have the ability to govern the country and convince people. At first, I wanted to give up the throne to Mei Niang, but she refused. I have always been on the throne, and that's it. The queen said, "If it's better to have a young commander to help Kang Guo resist foreign enemies, I can naturally give up the throne to Mei Niang!" Please persuade the young marshal to accept my Zen position after seeing Mei Niang!"

Qin Mubai couldn't help but be a little surprised and said hurriedly, "Then aren't we doves occupying the magpie's nest and taking the master?" This is a must!"

"Ha ha, why do the words of the young commander and Mei Niang's refusal are the same?" The queen smiled and said, "Well, the young commander said for the first time. Let's not talk about these things so as not to spoil the young commander's drunkenness."

"I respect Your Majesty again!"

"Young commander, please drink more. I can't drink, so I can only sacrifice my strength to accompany you."

After three rounds of wine, Qin Mubai couldn't help but feel slightly drunk.

The queen behind the bead curtain said, "I have heard for a long time that the Tang Dynasty banquet has the style of music and dance, and the young commander is even more elegant, and he has the reputation of being the first musician of the Tang Dynasty. Today, I will personally present an ugliness in front of the young commander and play a song that we Kang people are good at?

"That Qin is really flattered!" Qin Mubai naturally agreed.

Two Gong Ji took the harp and put the door on when they went out. In the gorgeous palace illuminated by the night pearl, there were only two of them left.

"I'll play a song first, and the young commander will not hesitate to teach me."

"I dare not do it, Your Majesty, please."

The queen played a piece of Arabic style. The harp was introduced to Kangguo from Persia and is a special musical instrument in the Arab area. Qin Mubai also felt quite fresh when he heard it, and he couldn't help applauding.

"The young commander is overreputed." There was a trace of joy in the queen's voice, and she said, "I've heard that the young commander is elegant for a long time. He is a generation of Pipa masters. I don't know if it's possible..."

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty." Qin Mubai smiled apologetically, "I swore that I would never play music in this life."

"Except when she was memorializing her, right?" The queen suddenly said.

Qin Mubai was stunned, and then thought that this might be what Wu Mei Niang told her, so he nodded silently.

"Then I won't force myself to be a young commander. Young commander, please listen to my next song.

"Good."

The ethereal and melodious music sounded. As soon as he heard the first melody, Qin Mubai couldn't help but be a little stunned - it was actually the song "May God for a long time"!

Qin Mubai only played this song in private, and only Wu Mei Niang had heard it. And she didn't forget and sang on the spot.

This was the privacy between Wu Mei Niang and Qin Mubai. Unexpectedly, she also taught the song to the Queen of Kang. In this way, isn't Wu Mei Niang quite close to the queen?

It's just a song. Qin Mubai was still meditating and forgot to applaud.

"The young commander laughed. I must not play well..."

"No. Your Majesty's song is quite good. Qin Mubai hurriedly said, "It's just that when I suddenly heard this familiar song in a foreign country, I couldn't help thinking of many past events. Therefore, I lost my mind for a moment. Please forgive me.

"Why does the young commander have to be so polite?" The queen said, "This song was originally created by the young commander, right? There are few people who know. I once heard Wu Mei Niang snorted and liked it for a while, but she taught it to me. This has not been agreed by the young commander. Please forgive me!"

"Ha ha! Since it's a good thing, you have to take it out and share it with your friends. What else do you want to do if you want it or not!" Qin Mubai said with a smile.

"So, you and I are already friends?"

"Of course."

"The man who can make Wu Mei Niang love deeply is really not bad. Young Commander Qin is really an upright and good man, and it's worth making friends. The queen smiled happily, "Today's third song, I hope the young commander listens to it... Don't think too much."

"Where does this start?" Qin Mubai smiled and said, "It is Qin's blessing to be able to enjoy the music played by Her Majesty herself - Your Majesty, please give me music!"

"Dong--"

With a sound of strings, Qin Mubai's hand was waiting to get the wine glass and stopped in astonishment.

"Lanzhou Hong?!"

The music is lingering, sad and sad; in the melancholy, there is a trace of pride, just like a man's iron blood, spring boudoir sends lovesickness!

It is the song created by the demon before his death and later became popular in Chang'an and even the whole Tang Dynasty - "Lanzhou Hong"!

With a "bang", the chopsticks in Qin Mubai's hand actually fell on the table.

Because, except for the demon, Qin Mubai has never heard anyone who can play this song "Lanzhou Hong" so sad and touching to the bottom of his heart!

Maybe the wine was out of proportion, and an uncontrollable impulse suddenly appeared in Qin Mubai's heart!

Suddenly, he opened the bead curtain between the two, "Who the hell are you?"

"Ah!" The queen, who was playing attentively, was frightened and turned pale.

Qin Mubai also widened his eyes and stood on the spot - "Demon! - It's really you!!!"

Involutedly, Qin Mu Baihu stepped forward and held her tightly in his arms!

"I won't let you leave me again! Never!!"
