Chapter 544 My Life, You Life

Gao Chang, Qin Mubai came here again. Once the King City of a Country, it is now the governor's office of Jinshan in the Tang Dynasty, Gaochang County, Xizhou.

The 300,000 triumphant division was stationed at the foot of the Flame Mountain where Qin Shubao was stationed in the past, temporarily resting the horse to supply the military supplies and rest for a day or two.

Xue Rengui and Yuwen Hongtai and other original veterans of the Western Expeditionary Army all came to Qin Mubai together and said that now that the Western Regions have been flat, the old handsome man's wish has been fulfilled. Should we go to the statue of the old handsome man in Flame Mountain and tell him the good news?

"Good." Qin Mubai agreed. Let Xue Rengui and others start preparing for the sacrifice.

The next morning, Qin Mubai personally carried his father's ashes, took Xue Rengui and other soldiers to the Flame Mountain together, and came to the "temple" built by Gaochang people for Qin Shubao. Here, there is a statue of Qin Shubao standing with a knife, up to three feet high, shaped by white jade, which is lifelike and majestic.

At the beginning, this statue was built by the Marshal of the Beiting, who ordered Gaochang people. On the one hand, it was because the Beiting wanted to talk with the Tang Dynasty and sit on the mountain to watch the tiger fight. On the other hand, the Turkic warriors such as Ni Shusi were indeed sincere admiration for Qin Shubao, a loyal and courageous tiger general.

Today, Beiting's coach Ni Shuqi was also present. Before the primary school arranged the sacrifices, he first took a few steps and stroked his chest, and he couldn't kneel down for a long time.

Xue Rengui, Yuwen Hongtai and others looked at him with complicated eyes. There are also some generals of the Tang army, with a burning anger in their eyes.

After all, Ni Shuxi is the most direct murderer of Qin Shubao!

"Shao Qin, please use my head to pay tribute to your father!" The mud sip said.

Qin Mubai came forward to help him up and said, "Old Marshal, please get up. The death of my father is certainly related to the old coach. But at that time, each was his lord, and what you did was just your duty; now that you are in the same temple as a minister, how can you kill each other? My father's last words on his deathbed warned me that there was no selfless hatred on the battlefield, which made me put national affairs first. Up to now, how can Qin have missed national affairs because of his own personal anger? What's more, you can't ruin your father's painstaking efforts!"

"Old Lord Qin, he is really an unrivaled hero, which makes me very impressed!" The mud knelt down and fell to the ground with tears, kowtowing repeatedly and banging.

"Old Marshal, please get up." Qin Mubai helped him up again, comforted him with a few words, and led the generals to start sacrificing.

At the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, a sudden gust of wind rose, clouds rolled in the air, and the yellow sand on the Flame Mountain was full of yellow sand.

Qin Mubai, who was chanting in front of the statue, suddenly remembered the night when he first came to Lanzhou.

"I remember that on the night when I first came to Lanzhou, my father called me to Lanzhou City and looked at the west. At that time, there was also a piece of yellow sand rolling outside the city. My father asked me what I saw. Qin Mubai put down the sacrificial text, looked at the distant mountains and the ethereal sea of clouds, and said, "At that time, I answered - 'The child only saw a vast expanse'!"

Everyone quietly listened to Qin Mubai's words.

"At that time, I kissed first but laughed. He raised his hand and pointed forward, and he said two words - 'wrong'!"

"I asked him, father, what did he see?" Speaking of this, Qin Mubai smiled slightly and asked the soldiers, "Guess what the father said?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"The father said--" Qin Mubai raised his voice fiercely and shouted--"Great rivers and mountains!"

Its voice is like thunder, and its momentum is like a running horse!

Everyone present couldn't help trembling all over!

Great rivers and mountains, the short four words contain all Qin Mubai's feelings for his father, and Qin Shubao's heroic ambition!

"Now... From Lanzhou to Gongyue City, the 3,000-mile border and millions of registered residents belong to the Tang Dynasty!" Qin Mubai took a deep breath and said, "Three thousand miles of great rivers and mountains! ...Father, you are in heaven, and you can rest in peace!"

The soldiers of the Tang army suddenly burst into tears and all fell to the ground.

The pearl of the queen of the new moon who accompanied her was felt by the scene in front of her and shed tears. He walked to Qin Mubai, gently took Qin Mubai's arm and said, "Mubai, although I have never seen your lord, I know that he is a great hero. The people of all ethnic groups in the Western Regions regard him as the true god! A tiger father has no son, and you are also a great hero!"

Qin Mubai smiled and said, "I have never thought of being a great hero, and I never care about these false reputations. All the time, I have just been trying to do what I should do as a minister and a son of man. Now that all the big things are, it's time for me to retire.

Everyone was shocked and looked at each other in conno time!

"Young Commander Qin, why did you say that?" Nishu Si was the first to ask, "Now you are like the sun, destroying Tubo and Pingxi, and fighting half of the country for the Tang Dynasty to expand thousands of miles!" We are also looking forward to following you for the rest of your life - how can you be withdrawn?

Qin Mubai smiled and said, "If it hadn't been in front of my father's throne today, I wouldn't have said this from the bottom of my heart. Admittedly, as a military commander, I have made great achievements. In the next few decades of my life, I can't surpass today's achievements. As a minister, I have destroyed several countries and sealed thousands of miles of territory, and I have also reached the peak. Now that Tibet and the Western Regions have been pacified, in the next few decades, the Tang Dynasty should practice martial arts, so that half of the country that has just belonged to the Tang Dynasty should be attributed to Wang Hua's prosperity. I inherited my father's manor, just a martial artist. There is no major contribution to these cultural actions. I don't want to continue the vegetarian meal. After returning to the court, Qin will hand over the military power and resign. I'm going to take my family to retire and leave the Central Plains... settle in Samakjian!"

"Young commander!" The soldiers of the Tang army were scared and shouted, "No!"

"How can the Kansai Army not have a young commander?"

"Lanzhou and the Western Regions still rely on you to preside over the overall situation!"

"If you retire, we will follow all the brothers together!"

Qin Mubai raised his hand to stop the noise of the soldiers and said, "Brothers, we have been born and died together for so many years. Qin is really reluctant to be separated from you. But there is no feast in the world, and one day we will part ways. Today, Mr. Qin said these words to you, which also made you prepared early. After returning to the court, you will be promoted for meritorious service, enjoy the glory and wealth, and continue to work for the Tang Dynasty! Datang needs you loyal and brave generals.

"Does the Tang Dynasty not need Major General Qin?" The mud was ripe and asked in shock.

Qin Mubai shook his head with a smile, "The Tang Dynasty needs thousands of loyal and brave generals, but in the future... half of the 'Young Marshal Qin' is no longer needed!"

The mud was as dull as a wooden chicken, and the soldiers of the Tang army with tears were silent.

The whole audience was silent.

"Brothers!" Qin Mubai broke the silence loudly, "After going down the mountain, rectify the soldiers and horses and return to the division - Lanzhou!"

"No!--"

After offering sacrifices to Qin Shubao, Qin Mubai and the soldiers returned to the army and prepared to go back to Lanzhou. When the army was about to leave, a fast horse messenger came from Lanzhou and sent a secret letter from Lanzhou's left-behind Pang Fei.

Qin Mubai's letter was shocked when he saw it!

Pang Fei told Qin Mubai in the letter that there was a rumor that "Qin Mubai wanted to rebel" in Lanzhou, and now people are panicked. This is not a matter. This was arranged by Qin Mubai himself. But another thing surprised him - the king of Wu and his party were ambushed in Jingzhou! The king of Wu was assassinated, and his life and death are uncertain!

Although Qin Mubai had already considered the safety of Li Ke's trip, he didn't expect that such a thing would really happen!

At this moment, he thought urgently in his heart: If the King of Wu has something, there will be no doubt that the King of Wei will succeed to the throne in the future! I know the king of Wei very well. He is kind-hearted on the surface, and he absolutely can't rub half a grain of sand in his eyes! Even if I hand over all the military power and am willing to retire, he will be deeply afraid and want to get rid of me quickly! ... Today, I show my feelings in front of the generals and soldiers of the Kansai Army, which is nothing more than to make them understand that Qin has no intention or ambition, and is not greedy for this position in his hand. In order to prevent the army from being affected by rumors, I took this shot first. If someone in the court wants to attack me with the help of rumors, I can also get the support of the Kansai army to the greatest extent. Although this move is a bit of the suspicion of taking advantage of the soldiers, it is indeed psychological words for me...

But if the king of Wei will inherit the throne in the future, not only me, but I'm afraid that even Xue Rengui, Yuwen Hongtai and Pang Fei will become the object of the king of Wei's cleansing. I, Qin, don't want to spend the rest of my life and enjoy a good end!

That situation is just like what Water Margin said, after Liang Shan Zhao'an!

"It seems that even if I want to retreat bravely, it's really not easy to do!" Thinking of this, Qin Mubai frowned and shouted, "Rengui, Hong Tai!"

The second will enter from outside the account, "In!"

"I have some personal matters and I have to go back to Lanzhou to cook first. You two lead the army and keep up as soon as possible. Qin Mubai said, "The treasure driver of the Queen of the Crescent will be temporarily under your escort. In addition, no matter what kind of rumors you hear along the way, you have to turn a blind eye to them!"

"Yes!" Xue Rengui and Yuwen Hongtai looked at Qin Mubai in surprise and got the promise. But I didn't ask much.

Qin Mubai came forward and took the hand of the second general and said, "Brothers, Qin will not be alone. Even if I retire, I will definitely arrange a way out for you and my born-and-death brothers. That's all Qin can do now!"

"Third brother!" Yuwen Hongtai couldn't help shouting impatiently, "There's something wrong with you today. What's going on? Tell me? Anyway, I have already said that I will follow the third brother wherever he goes! Whether it's heaven or the earth, even if it's broken, I'm going to bury it with your bones!"

"Good brother, don't be silly." Qin Mubai patted his arm hard and said, "Something did happen in the court, but now I can't tell you clearly. Anyway, I'll take care of it, so you don't have to worry.

Yuwen Hongtai was anxious and annoyed. He roared with a heavy blow of fists and roared, "Is there another bastard in the court who speaks ill of you behind your back and wants to fight against you? - Let's rush into the battle with our heads and fight for thousands of miles. Those jealous stupid scholars know that they fight for power and profit and kill meritorious officials all day long! Third brother, if this is the case, I will take my brothers to fight into Chang'an with you, kill all those bastards, and also want to be pure! - Our Kansai army is invincible in the world!"

"Shut up, what nonsense are you talking about!" Qin Mubai scolded, "The Kansai army is invincible in the world. It is used to fight outsiders. How can it fight against Tang's own people? If so, what's the difference from the original garqin Mausoleum, even more hateful! - Rengui, Heizi is rude, you have to pay attention to let him restrain yourself from time to time. If he is nonsense, you will tie him up and let him calm down.

"Yes..." Xue Rengui responded with his thick eyebrows and clenched his fist. Although he didn't say much, his face was worried.

Yuwen Hongtai's face turned red and he didn't dare to squeak again.

"Two good brothers, you don't have to think too much. You have the right to be relieved." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Although the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, Qin has seen a lot of this kind of wind and waves over the years, and he may not do anything. The first task of you two is to stabilize the heart of the army and not let the army make any trouble. I can take care of the rest!"

"Yes!" The second general has no choice but to promise.

Later, Qin Mubai said goodbye to the New Moon Princess Mingzhu, took more than a hundred guards, left Gaochang first, and went straight to Lanzhou.

The battle of the crown prince, the battle for the throne - this war, which is more dangerous than the battle of the Western Regions of Tibet, is finally the time for a decisive battle!

Qin Mubai, who was galloping fast, kept thinking about the hangover of the two when Li Ke was transferred from Youzhou to Lanzhou.

He remembered that in addition to drinking and bragging, the two also had a fight, which was a great pleasure.

Li Ke, who was very drunk, said something at that time, which impressed Qin Mubai:

"Mu Bai, there are many people who say that you and I are a traitor, and we are ambitious and let them go. All I know is that as a man, I am content to have a confidant brother like you in my life!"

"You and I don't know what will happen tomorrow. Maybe we won't wake up one day, or suddenly we don't exist in the world. But as long as I, Li Ke, still live in this world..."

"My life is your life; your life is my life! - This is an oath!"

The fast horse is like electricity, and the wind is blowing in my ears.

Qin Mubai said this sentence silently, "My life, your life... Li Ke, have you already expected that there will be this day?"
