Chapter 563 A Good Life

At the beginning of the snow, the sun shines on the snow, reflecting a dazzling light.

Qin Mubai, dressed in heavy fur, came out of the big felt room, stretched out his arms and stretched out a big lazy waist, and then laughed loudly, "The snow has finally stopped. It's sunny!"

Xuelian also came out. She narrowed her eyes when she saw the dazzling sunlight outside and said, "It's really sunny!"

"The snow scenery on the prairie is really extraordinary and wonderful!" Qin Mubai looked at it and sighed.

"From your point of view, this is an unparalleled beautiful scenery, but for grassland people, it may be a disaster." Xuelian said, "If this snow falls for a few more days, a large number of livestock will be frozen to death, and the supply time of grassland will be postponed."

"Isn't it stopped?" Qin Mubai smiled and looked back at her, "Xuelian, after the snow melts, we are going to leave for the Western Regions. Are you willing to give up?"

Xuelian narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at the endless snowy grassland and whispered, "If there is no reluctance, it is self-deception. I was born in Si Chang Yu Si, and there are my people, relatives and friends here. But you and your family came all the distance to the grassland and stayed with me for more than three months. I'm already very satisfied."

Qin Mubai smiled and said, "If you are reluctant, it's okay to live for another month or two."

"Isn't it good?" Although Xuelian is happy, she is also worried, "Isn't it said that Princess Gaoyang may wait for us in Gaochang? It's not good for her to wait too long. Also, don't you have to rush back to Samujian? The new moon queen is about to give birth!"

Qin Mubai patted his head and said, "I almost forgot!"

"Look at you, you are so careless." Xuelian shook her head and smiled, "Also, you have gained weight recently."

"Real?" Qin Mubai grinned, "Isn't that more handsome?"

Xuelian giggled, and her face turned red. She whispered, "I don't know whether she is handsome or not. All I know is... You are getting more and more fierce."

"Cough! ...Below-key!" Qin Mubai took a look around. Fortunately, there was no eavesdropping, so he swaggered forward, but his foot sank into the deep snowdrift, and his whole body was short and almost fell crooked.

"What a deep snow!!"

Xuelian giggled happily, "I told you to be lazy, and the snow in front of my door hasn't been swept for a few days. Now I can't go out!"

"Wo! I'm dignified... What, do I have to clean the snow in front of the door in person?" Qin Mubai shouted with great dissatisfaction.

"What is it?" Xuelian smiled and said, "You're just a piece of cloth now. Why are you putting on a bad shelf! - Take it, shovel the snow!"

Qin Mubai took the shovel thrown by Xuelian and laughed, "A man, can bend and stretch! Just shovel!"

Xuelian stood at the door of the felt tent and quietly watched Qin Mubai throw away the snow with a shovel, with a gentle and sweet smile on her face.

"Mu Bai, I'm really happy to see you like this now... I hope you can be so relaxed and happy all your life!"

After a few strokes, Qin Mubai's body was hot and he took off his heavy fur. While busy, two people in front of him staggered on the thick snow and shouted from afar, "Ouch, drink! Marshal Qin shoveled snow in person! It's strange!"

are Li Xun and Xue Rengui.

Qin Mubai put the snow shovel on the ground, clapped his hands and smiled: "Madam has a life, I dare not disoze! She thought I had become obese and reformed me so that I could lose weight!"

"A man, if you are fat, will you be richer and more generous?" Li Xun came forward with a smile and said to Xuelian, "My little niece, I'm going to teach you a lesson. We Tang people all take abundance as beauty. Mu Bai is like this now, he is a first-class beautiful man!"

Xuelian giggled, "Uncle, don't listen to his nonsense. How dare I dislike him, let alone make him worse!"

Qin Mubai came forward with a smile and said, "Xuelian, go and warm two pots of milk wine to prepare some dry sweets. I'm going to sit down and have a few drinks with Uncle Shi and Rengui. I haven't been with them for a long time.

The four of them entered Qin Mubai's big felt tent with laughter. It was very spacious and was still the bedding of the newlywed bridal chamber. Burning the two furnaces, it is also very warm and comfortable.

Xuelian went to settle down the wine. The three took off their thick fur and snow-stained leather boots and sat in front of the stove, chatting.

"Mubai, in fact, today, Rengui and I are here to say goodbye to you." Li Xun rubbed his hands with fire and said, "The court ordered me to lead the army back to Beijing. I left a month ago, but the heavy snow blocked the trip and delayed it until now.

"Had the army back to Beijing?" Qin Mubai thought for a little and then smiled, "Tang Dynasty, are you going to use troops again?"

"The transfer order of the Ministry of War was not said. But I guess that it is more likely to use troops against Liaodong. Li Xun said, "I heard that the situation in Liaodong was tense as early as a few months ago. Recently, Quan Gai Su Wen, the powerful minister of Goguryeo, killed the king to monopolize the military and political power, and may send troops to attack Baekje at any time. Baekje is just a small country. If the Tang Dynasty doesn't save it, it will be broken day and night. As soon as Baekje is destroyed, the balance on the Goryeo Peninsula will be broken. Only the Goguryeo family will be the dominant one, and Silla will definitely belong to him as a puppet. In this way, Goguryeo will pose a great border threat to my Tang Dynasty."

Xue Rengui said, "Mu Bai, I have been discussing this matter with the British Duke for days. Xue also thinks that this Tang Dynasty will definitely not sit back and watch Goguryeo destroy Baekje, and will definitely send troops... Why don't you come back!"

Qin Mubai smiled and said nothing.

Xue Rengui sighed and said, "Well, I'm just saying it casually. After returning to Beijing this time, if the Tang Dynasty really sent troops to Liaodong, I would definitely go on an expedition with the army. I just hope that we brothers who share life and death can fight side by side again!"

"Rengui, in fact, I also want to go to Liaodong with you." Qin Mubai smiled slightly and said, "But whether from the overall situation of the court or the overall situation of diplomatic relations, I can't go. I won't say more about the things in the court. Now that the Western Regions have been determined, the governors in charge of all over the country used to be under me. If I don't go to the Western Regions, the court will not feel at ease, and those governors will be uncertain. The imperial court is uneasy, the feudal officials are uneasy, the Western Regions will be chaotic, and the big food will definitely take the opportunity to invade. In this way, all our previous efforts have been in vain! ...So, although I am a rank, I still want to go to the Western Regions and stay in the Western Regions, just as a reassurance for everyone.

"Mu Bai finally told the truth." Li Xun smiled and said, "I knew you wouldn't be selfish. I have also considered the problem you just mentioned, so I don't force you to go back to court. As long as you are in the Western Regions, whether you are a feudal official or a white body, you can make the Western Regions stable. People's hearts and prestige are invisible and imtouchable, but they are the most irreplaceable. Now it is not appropriate for the court to send anyone to take charge of the Western Regions, including Li Xun. Maybe Su Dingfang is a good candidate, but how can his fame and prestige be compared with you? Perhaps those military commanders and commanders will listen to his punishment, but the kings, ministers and people of the Western countries may not buy him. The Tang Dynasty has just calmed down the Western Regions. When it comes to governing the people and attacking the heart, military control alone can't be suppressed. There must be a main backbone - so, I praise you for going to the Western Regions!"

"So it is..." Xue Rengui suddenly nodded and said, "Xue is still shallow and doesn't think about it deeply."

"You don't have to underestimate yourself. You can't imagine this floor because you are not high enough, not your shallow ignorance. Li Xun said with a deep smile, "If you stand in a position like us in time, you will definitely see higher and think farther than us."

"How can Xue and He De do it?" Xue Rengui laughed with shame.

Qin Mubai also smiled and said, "Actually, I resigned from the office, but I just don't want to go back to the court to fight for power and profit. Among other things, Changsun Wuji has always been in line with me in politics, and I indirectly killed his son. How can he tolerate me? If I go back to the court, I will have to fight with him and provoke the party. If I don't go back to the court, the court will be much more peaceful, and there will be less worries around the king of Wu. After thinking about it, the Western Regions is my best destination. Yu me, the king of Wu, the generals of the Guanxi army, the imperial court, and the Tang Dynasty all have great benefits.

Li Xun stroked her with a smile, "Mu Bai, your insight will always be better than me! I asserted that if you go back to the court, you will definitely go out and enter the prime minister, and no one can reach your kindness and glory. Even if you go to the Western Regions, you will be an uncrowned king. There is His Majesty the Emperor in the imperial court. How could he not think of these twists and turns? Therefore, Mu Bai, you will not only achieve success and enjoy the end, but also will always serve as the Western Great Wall of our Tang Dynasty, guarding half of the country!"

Xue Rengui blinked his eyes and said, "If the Tang Dynasty has internal and external troubles one day, as long as Mu Bai is still in the Western Regions, he can help at any time to turn the tide!" ...It seems that it's really good!"

"You think too highly of me." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "It is often said that Taoist people don't have to do anything in their place. I went to the Western Regions and only felt at ease to be my rich man. I want to open a restaurant, do business, and run a school. I want to be a real teacher!"

"What?" Xue Rengui and Li Xun were stunned.

"Haha, yes, I've already thought about it clearly!" Qin Mubai smiled and said, "I want to teach something that no one has ever taught!"

"What is it?"

"Metaphorical mathematics, chemistry and so on... I can't explain it to you at this time." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Wait. After ten or twenty years, there may be my students among the envoys sent by the State of Dazhao Wu to the Tang Dynasty. They will spread my thing to the Tang Dynasty and let the natural science of the Tang Dynasty begin to germinate and develop!"

"What is...natural science?" Li Xun and Xue Rengui became more and more confused.

"Haha! It's really not clear." Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Anyway, you should remember my words first. In the future, let's wait and see!"

Li Xun and Xue Rengui looked at each other, and then said, "Mu Bai, you are the same father and mother, eating the same rice and drinking the same water, but why are you so unpredictable that we can't figure out about you at all?"

Qin Mubai slapped and smiled, "To tell you the truth, I'm from more than a thousand years!"

"Nonsense!"

"Who believes it!"

......

Twenty days later, the heavy snow almost melted. Li Xun and Xue Rengui led 200,000 Bingzhou's main force to prepare to return to Beijing in the south.

Qin Mubai came to see him off and said goodbye to Li and Xue on the horse.

"Qin Sanlang!" Li Xun laughed loudly and said, "Your father is a hero who is unparalleled and spans his whole life; he is open and righteous, and there is no one in the world who is disrespectful! But I dare to say that one of the most beautiful things he has done in his life is to give birth to a good son like you!"

Qin Mubai replied with his hand and said with a smile, "Uncle, I don't know when we will meet again. Please take care of yourself!"

"I will." Li Xun nodded with a smile, "Mu Bai, whether you are an official or a rank official, half of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty will bother you!"

Qin Mubai smiled and did not answer, and said to Xue Rengui, "Rengui, don't just worry about charging. Xiyan went to the Central Plains with you. You have to take her around and have a look when you have time. Life is full of vegetation, and what should be cherished will be cherished.

Xue Rengui arched his hand and stared at Qin Mubai, speechless for a long time. Suddenly, he turned over and got off the horse and knelt down on the remaining grass with snow. "Xue Li, goodbye to the third brother!"

"Ren Gui, what are you doing!" Qin Mubai hurriedly jumped down and came to help, but saw that Xue Rengui was already full of tears and he was speechless.

"Benevolence... Don't be so sad." Qin Mubai was also a little touched.

"At the time of parting, Xue remembered the past." Xue Rengui shed tears, clenched Qin Mubai's arm and said, "At the beginning, Xue was just a man who shot wild geese in the cold mountain, and it was difficult to maintain his food and clothing. It was the third brother who took me to Chang'an and spared no effort to take care of Xue. Xue was incompetent, and even your father couldn't take good care of him. Xue felt guilty and wanted to die to apologize! ......”

"Stop talking." Qin Mubai interrupted him and whispered, "Rengui, you and my brother, although you are not your own, you are better than your own. My father is your father. You and I are always sad. Why do you have to do this? - Don't be worried about this matter anymore; in the future, you have to replace me... to assist His Royal Highness the King of Wu!"

"Xue... Dare not to do his best, and then die!" Xue Rengui cried like rain and kowtowed.

Seeing this scene, Li Wei shook his head and sighed, and his eyes were also a little red. Many Tang soldiers next to him couldn't help quietly wiping their tears.

"Get up!" Qin Mubai pulled Xue Rengui up and patted him on the shoulder, "Brother, it's a lifelong thing! Even if we are separated, our hearts are together, that's enough!"

"Then we agreed for a lifetime!" Xue Rengui took a deep breath, with a smile on his face and stretched out his hand.

Qin Mubai slapped him and clenched it tightly with him, "Good brother!"
