Chapter 551 Chang'an in the Dream

From the day the memorial was sent out, Qin Mubai did not go out of the house for half a step on the grounds of illness. The affairs in the army are completely handed over to Pang Fei; the governor's office is fully represented by the assassin Xiao Liang and others.

Qiongyu Villa, the door is closed all day long and refuses to be guests.

One evening, Pang Fei, who was very drunk, ran to Qiongyu Villa to smash the door, but no one opened the door. As a result, he knelt here all night and was still ignored.

This matter is known all over Lanzhou, and there are various speculations. But I can't guess what happened between Qin Mubai and Pang Fei. Later, I heard that Pang Fei did not return to the military director, and only bought drunken people in the willow alleys in the city all day long.

Rumor has it that after Pang Fei knelt in front of the gate of Qiongyu Villa that night, he was kicked out of the house by his wife Liu when he went home. Liu Shi even forced himself to do his best and asked Pang Fei to write a letter to end the relationship between husband and wife. Therefore, Pang Fei no longer dares to step on the doorstep.

This matter has caused a lot of wind and rain all over the city...

Although Qin Mubai did not go out of the door, he also heard these rumors. For this reason, he had to sigh. Thinking about the beginning, Qin Mubai and Pang Fei were born in the same Baiqi, and their names were Shi and apprentices. At that time, Pang Fei was just a smart but simple-minded newborn calf, but he had always been willing to learn and practice diligence. Later, he followed Qin Mubai and traveled from south to various places to experience.

In retrospect, I'm afraid it was in Xiangyang that turned Pang Fei's life. At that time, Qin Mubai took Pang Fei and 30 other soldiers to the Xiangzhou Military Mansion together. Pang Fei was Qin Mubai's deputy. Everyone worked together to eliminate the water ghosts and eradicate the local bullies in Xiangzhou. It was at that time that Pang Fei fell in love at first sight with Liu, a famous Xiangyang celebrity, known as the flower lady, and was married by Qin Mubai. From then on, the couple raised their eyebrows and loved each other very much, and Pang Fei never once asked for flowers or asked for a concubine in half a room.

Later, Qin Mubai was transferred back to Chang'an. Pang Fei stayed in Xiangzhou and took over the position of Zhe Chong Du Lieutenant left by Qin Mubai, becoming the leading local military officer.

Perhaps it was the days when Pang Fei stayed alone in Xiangzhou that made him change. Later, when Qin Mubai revisited his hometown, he found that the ignorant and young boy had been deeply assimilated by the official office of the Tang Dynasty. Although he is as smart, witty, diligent and progressive as ever, he has also become smooth, sophisticated, and scheming.

"As long as people live in this world, in order to adapt to their respective living environment, they will change. Why am I not like this?" Qin Mubai sighed to himself, "Pang Fei, in fact, I don't blame you. You just want to survive. What's wrong with you?"

A few days later, Xue Rengui and Yuwen Hongtai led the 300,000 Kansai main force in the Western Expedition and arrived in Lanzhou. Pang Fei, who had ignored military affairs for many days, was finally dragged to the military office by his soldiers to arrange the resettlement of the army.

Xue Rengui and Yuwen Hongtai came to Lanzhou. Naturally, the first thing was to see Qin Mubai. But the two of them also closed the door in the same way. In surprise, the two of them asked someone for details.

It doesn't matter if you don't ask; as soon as you ask, something big will happen.

Yuwen Hongtai, a fierce man, was very anxious when he heard that Qin Mubai fell ill and saw people again. When he heard that Qin Mubai "seems" to be "angry and sick" by Pang Fei, he was furious!

He rushed to a Yingling in Lanzhou City to find Pang Fei. Without saying a word, he dragged him out of the gentle drunken countryside and was a violent beating, and almost demolished the whole store!

Pang Fei was very drunk. Yuwen Hongtai beat Haitian Hu. He didn't fight back. He vomited blood in his mouth and kept laughing and saying, "Good fight, good."

In the end, if it hadn't been for the arresters of the Assassin's Gate to stop the news, Pang Fei's life might have been buried here!

Yuwen Hongtai had a good time, but also admitted it, and let the government arrest him quickly and put him in prison. When he entered the prison, he still said that as long as he came out and saw Pang Fei fight once, he would only hate his parents for giving birth to him.

Later, Xue Rengui came after hearing the news and took Pang Fei back to the army and asked the army for medical treatment. Asking him the specific reason, Pang Fei closed his mouth and said nothing. Xue Rengui didn't ask more questions, so he went to the prison to visit Yuwen Hongtai and scolded and persuaded him. Yuwen Hongtai was just stubborn, saying that he had a grudge against Pang Fei from then on. It was useless to persuade anyone to fight when he saw him!

In desperation, Xue Rengui had to come to see Qin Mubai. When he arrived at Qiongyu Villa, he saw that the assassin Xiao Liang was also waiting anxiously here. The gate did not open, and both of them had no choice but to stop at the door and sigh.

After a long time, the door of Qiongyu Villa finally opened, and it was Chen Yan who came to open the door.

Xiao Liang and Xue Rengui were overjoyed. After saluteing, they asked to see Qin Mubai.

Chen Yan replied, "Xiao Fujun, General Xue, Mu Bai is indeed seriously ill and contagious, and it is inconvenient to meet guests. He asked me to send a message, saying that the army has military rules and state laws, and everything should be done according to the law. The military affairs are temporarily handled by Xue Rengui; all the affairs of the governor's office have long been entrusted to Xiao Fujun. You two can do big and small things cheaply. You don't have to ask.

Xiao Liang and Xue Rengui listened and were speechless in addition to worry.

"It seems that the young commander doesn't want to see us anymore, hey..." Xiao Liang sighed, "Mrs. Chen, please tell the young commander that the matter of the governor's office will take care of it. Please let him recover from his illness at ease."

"Good."

Xue Rengui hugged his fist and said, "Mrs. Chen, the last general dare to ask - if the owner of Kansai goes like this, the army is like an uproof, what can we do?"

"How can it be?" Chen Yan smiled and said, "Mu Bai said that to let you take charge of the military power in Kansai is to believe in your ability. With you, General Xue, the Kansai army will be fine. Besides, it won't be long before the court issued a decree against the Kansai army. General Xue asked the generals to rest for a while, and then they will know.

"The imperial decree?" Xue Rengui was shocked, "Is it that the young commander has already made arrangements?"

Chen Yan smiled and said, "It's about military affairs, and I don't dare to ask more. In a word, Mu Bai said that the military and political affairs during this period were entrusted to the two. When the imperial court orders are issued, everything can be done according to the order.

"Okay..." Xue Rengui and Xiao Liang had to answer and leave without disturbing them.

Chen Yan closed the door with a sigh, shook her head and went back to the villa.

At this time, Qin Mubai was teaching Xiaolou to play the guzheng on the Qiongyu platform of the villa. The Tantai sisters are coaxing Qin Ying and then cooking tea. Xuelian and Mrs. Liu are teasing the second son Chengsi, while Shuanger is holding the little flute around in the flowerbed.

The family is so lively and warm, as if it has not been affected by the outside world at all.

Chen Yan returned to the stage and wink at Qin Mubai. Qin Mubai walked aside with her and asked, "How's it going?"

"It's all sent away." Chen Yan said, "But Pang Fei's matter is quite noisy, and there is a lot of discussion in the city. If it goes on like this, I'm afraid it will have a worse impact. It's all over. What if there is any disturbance if the army is affected?

"Don't worry, it won't happen." Qin Mubai said indifferently, "Just shut the black man up for a few days and don't let him make trouble."

"Now they don't know that Pang Fei did this because he betrayed you. In case you know..." Chen Yan hesitated for a moment and said, "In case you know, Yuwen Hongtai may really kill Pang Fei!"

Qin Mubai frowned, then shook his head and sighed, saying, "Xiao Liang is an awake person, and most of them also knows the inside story. Let him shut up Yuwen Hongtai for a few more days, and Pang Fei will lead the troops back to Beijing after the imperial decree is issued. As long as you don't let Yuwen Hongtai and Pang Fei meet again.

"That's the only way..." Chen Yan also sighed.

Qin Mubai looked at the distance with his eyebrows slightly and sighed leisurely, "The depth of love is the responsibility... In fact, the relationship between Hong Tai and Pang Fei used to be very good, which can be said to be a lifeless brotherly friendship. But Hong Tai is a person whose eyes can't hold a little sand. The kindness and resentment are clearly fierce. Even I am a little afraid that he will be harsh sometimes.

"Mu Bai, looking at your situation, you want Pang Fei and Xue Rengui to go back to the court to be sealed, but leave Yuwen Hongtai, right?" Chen Yan asked.

Qin Mubai nodded, "I am also suitable for people to arrange their future and way out. Pang Fei's exquisite mind and wit are suitable for being an official, and he is the person of His Majesty the Emperor. Coupled with the great achievements made in the surprise attack on Golmud when he settled Tubo, he will definitely make progress after returning to Beijing. Xue Rengui, not to mention, like his talents, have a bright future. One day, his achievements were not comparable to that of Pang Fei and others. After the two of them returned to the court with the generals in the Kansai Army, they would be awarded for their merit. Only Hong Tai... In fact, he is not suitable to be an official. If I let him go away from me, I'm afraid that he will one day cause a big disaster and die. So, I decided to take him all the way to Samojian. This also coincides with the promise I made to Su Lianqing at the beginning. The future of her family will be arranged by me, Qin Mubai.

"I think it's the same." Chen Yan nodded and recognized, "Yuwen Hongtai is straightforward and angry, jealous of evil, and loyal to you. In his heart, I'm afraid there is nothing else but you, even the law court and the emperor's son. If you don't care about him and leave alone, he will definitely do anything stupid.

Qin Mubai stared at the distant eastern sky, looked in the direction of Chang'an, and sighed leisurely, "In the world, there is really no feast that will never end!"

Chen Yan looked at Qin Mubai's side face and saw a lot of loneliness and sadness in her expression for the first time.

"Mu Bai... Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety are difficult. Now you have sacrificed your own glory, and you have taken care of the social relationship with brotherhood. Chen Yan whispered, "It's not easy."

Qin Mubai smiled gently at the corners of his mouth, put his hand around Chen Yan's waist, and said, "Fortunately, you and your family are still with me."

"Will you go back to Chang'an?"

Qin Mubai's expression stagnated slightly, and once again raised his eyes to the distant east and looked in the direction of Chang'an. His eyes narrowed slightly and stared for a long time.

"I don't know..."

Hearing these three words, Chen Yan felt inexplicably sad. Because she heard that the three words said by Qin Mubai were full of infinite attachment and bitterness

At this moment, Chen Yan thought with empathy: Chang'an, hometown; there is everything about Qin Mubai... Maybe in the future, it can only appear in Qin Mubai's dream!
