Love Affairs in Chang'an - Chapter 287

Chapter 287 March
The next day, Qin Mubai received a letter from Pang Fei in Xiangzhou.

The Imperial Court’s letter of appointment had already descended to the Xiang Prefecture’s military mansion, and Pang Fei had succeeded Qin Mubai as a surname. From this, Pang Fei knew that Qin Mubai was really not going back. Much is said in the letter, mostly gratitude, nostalgia, respect and determination.

At the same time, the letter also contained another letter-from Tanzhou, written by Chen Yan!

Qin Mubai was a little excited and hurriedly opened the seal.

Qin Mubai’s heart trembled when she saw Chen Yan’s handsome and heroic little letter. There were very few words in the letter, most of which were about her current situation and to report her safety. ‘Everything is fine back home,’ she said. Most of her relatives left her at home for a few more days. The kindness of his friends and relatives could not be shirked. In addition, he had some chores to attend to, so he would stay for at least half a year longer. Perhaps he would be able to visit Qin Mubai in Xiangzhou during the Double Ninth Festival this year.

The words in the letter were the same as Chen Yan’s. It was simple and neat, and it didn’t waste any words, nor did it reveal the slightest bit of tenderness. At first glance, it looked more like it was written by a man than Pang Fei.

Seeing this, Qin Mubai concealed the letter and sighed.

The sun and moon flew like shuttles. In the blink of an eye, they had been separated from Chen Yan for more than half a Ever since she left, Qin Mubai had never returned to a small building on the outskirts of Xiangzhou. However, it wasn’t that he was heartless and ruthless. On the contrary, he was also worried that he would be hurt when he saw the scenery of others.

Chen Yan had always been in a very special position in Qin Mubai’s heart. This was different from the feelings he had with Wu Meiniang and Princess Gaoyang.

He and Wu Meiniang were first named and then affectionate, and the relationship between them was very clear, that was, the relationship between a man and a woman; Qin Gaoyang and Princess Mubai were touched by her after all the twists and turns. The two of them were also deeply affectionate, and discussing marriage was already in front of them.

Only Chen Yan had never mentioned asking Qin Mubai for anything, nor did she care about her status and situation, not asking for anything in return. To Qin Mubai, Chen Yan was like a knowledgeable eldest sister from the Lin Clan, a confidante who deeply understood his heart, and also a gentle and considerate beautiful lover.

She was clever, tactful, and considerate. She endured her temperament and was resolute. When he was with Qin Mubai, this cold and courageous swordsman turned into a pool of gentle and pure water, giving him endless tenderness without complaint or regret. Only when she was with Chen Yan did Qin Mubai feel the most relaxed, unrestrained and free from the slightest bit of pressure.

Now, Qin Mubai knew why she had fallen in love with Chen Yan-her personality had many similarities to Concubine Yin De, belonging to the same category of women!

Women like them were typical intellectual women. Their charm originated from the inside, and their elegance originated from the bone marrow! For a man like Qin Mubai, it was like a magic curse, with a fatal and irresistible attraction!

Moreover, Chen Yan was even more carefree and carefree than Concubine Yin De, and she had nothing to ask of Qin Mubai, and she silently paid without any regrets.

Only without contention was there a great contention. The more Chen Yan wanted nothing, the more Qin Mubai wanted to give her. Whenever he thought of her in his heart, he always felt guilty and guilty, and the more he felt that he could not leave her.

Nowadays, Chen Yan was far away in Tanzhou and still sent her longing to Xiangyang Xiaolou. But he wanted to go far to the Western Region. The two of them opened their respective sides, and they had to transfer their longing through the relay station.

Qin Mubai carefully folded the letter, wrapped it in greasy paper, and carefully placed it against his chest.

He did not reply to the letter. She didn’t want Chen Yan to know that she had left Xiangyang for Lanzhou. In that case, perhaps she would feel that the distance between the two of them was closer, so that she wouldn’t have to worry about them.

After Li Ji came, his mother and sister also knew that Qin Mubai was leaving for Lanzhou. This was a huge matter for them. The mother and daughter had been discussing it for two nights, and together they made a tragic decision-to go to Lanzhou with their family!

Qin Mubai forbade them from doing so. Lanzhou was no match for Xiangyang. Although the father and son went there together, they could not move the Qin Clan. It was a frontier, a battlefield. Not to mention the risks, the life at the border was also very bitter, not suitable for them. The mother and daughter insisted again and again. Qin Mubai could only make a compromise. After she went to Lanzhou, she would discuss it with her father. If Father permits, send someone to pick them up.

With that said, Mrs. Liu and Shuang’er finally gave up and temporarily followed Qin Mubai’s idea.

Only then did it stop. Princess Gaoyang arrived at Qin Mubai’s mansion with a gloomy expression on her face. She said with a sad face that the Emperor would not allow Princess Gaoyang to follow Qin Mubai to Lanzhou. Princess Gaoyang cried and begged again and again. She was just about to hang herself. Only then did the Emperor make a compromise. After half a year, if the situation in Lanzhou stabilized, Old Master Qin would also come forward and agree. Only then would Princess Gaoyang be allowed to go to Lanzhou!

Li Shimin’s decision really coincided with Qin Mubai’s plan to deal with his mother and sister.

“Oh, I don’t care! I want to go to Lanzhou with you now!” Princess Gaoyang pestered Qin Mubai and cried, “Mubai, can you go beg your father to agree?”

Qin Mubai was easy to persuade, even coaxing and deceiving, causing her tongue to cramp. Only then did Princess Gao Yang agree resentfully and go to Lanzhou in half a year.

Only then did Qin Mubai let out a sigh of relief, “Finally, I can put on a light armor!” Actually, don’t I want to see my mother, sister, and Ling’er every day? However, the Border Pass Battle Formation was different from the rear of peace. He could go to suffer and take risks, but he would never allow his relatives to suffer with innocence!

The Duke Wei’s Mansion went a few more times. Every time he went, Su Dingfang would be there. The master and disciple discussed the art of war, and their happiness was also melted. Qin Mubai was about to go to the border and fight. It was better to sharpen one’s spear than to ignore it. Hence, Qin Mubai asked Li Jing about the tactics and methods of many divisions marching outside to fight. Li Jing was also very patient and answered all his questions patiently.

The deeper the discussion, the more Qin Mubai felt shallow and ignorant about the military. Only then did he know that a military god like Li Jing was not something that could be refined casually. Among the hundreds of millions of people in a thousand years, only Li Jing had appeared. His excellence was not something that could be compared to ordinary people.

Hone! Apart from training, there was no other shortcut! Qin Mubai secretly made up his mind that after going to Lanzhou this time, he would continue to cultivate more and more diligently, so as not to waste Li Jing’s efforts!

Qin Mubai also went to the Jiang Xia King’s mansion twice. Firstly, he expressed his gratitude. Back then, the Li Dao Sect had personally returned a thousand li to gift him a precious saber. Secondly, Li Daozong had followed Li Shimin and attacked Xue Ju in the west. After that, he stayed at Helong Border Pass in Lanzhou for a period of time and was familiar with the customs, geography, hydrology, and military tactics of the Tibetans. Qin Mubai had been consulting him for a long time and had a rough understanding of the situation in Lanzhou.

A few days later, the Ministry of Military Affairs officially issued a transfer order. Dismissed Qin Mubai Xiang zhou lieutenant officer, granted ZuoWei wei wei yi manor corps commander, and lanzhou in the governor’s manor don’t drive, rank four. Today, he led more than ten thousand soldiers to Lanzhou to take up his post.

In addition, Xue Wanche and Xue Wanjun, the general of Zuo Wei Wei, had already rushed to Lanzhou first by reorganizing the Kansai Field Army, which consisted of more than ten thousand cavalry soldiers from the garrison town of Fengxiang.

At the same time, the other two appointments arrived at the Wu Palace. Xue Rengui and Yuwen Hongtai, the former Dianjun of Prince Wu’s Manor, were assigned to the left and right Lang generals of Wei Yi’s Manor to accompany Qin Mubai on the expedition.

With these two appointments, King Wu’s Mansion was thrown into turmoil-everyone was shocked!

Wasn’t this clearly digging a corner of the Prince of Wu? Qin Mubai was still the one who poached the horns. This was too unbelievable!

As a result, Li Ke was drunk all day long and scolded everyone for “falling down the wall”, calling someone a hypocrite who “flipped his face and refused to recognize anyone”! Princess Gaoyang knew about this and personally went to apologize to comfort Li Ke many times. Afterwards, Li Ke simply closed the door and disappeared, causing Princess Gaoyang to run into a nail on the head.

For this reason, Princess Gaoyang complained to Qin Mubai about how he could treat Third Brother like this. Qin Mubai did not explain. He was helpless to infer that the Imperial Court’s Jun Ling was like this.

Not long after, Xue Rengui and Yuwen Hongtai were ordered to report to Qin Mubai. Xue Rengui had always been silent and meticulous, so he naturally wouldn’t say anything else. On the other hand, Yuwen Hongtai, who was straightforward and simple-minded, was always cursing with displeasure. Although he didn’t dare to complain to Qin Mubai, he could tell at a glance that this upright man was somewhat dissatisfied with Qin Mubai’s move.

No matter how rumors spread in the outside world, Qin Mubai did not explain and did not care. You can do whatever you want. After spending a few days cleaning up the army, the grain and equipment were ready, and the auspicious day that the Imperial Imperial Temple prayed for arrived. Qin Mubai brought Xue Rengui and Yuwen Hongtai, the two Tiger Lion generals, to the Zuo Wei Wei Wei camp fifteen miles north of Chang’an City.

The emperor appointed the Prime Minister and Minister of Military Affairs, Li Xu, to take charge of the ceremonies and send them off. The Dianjiang Stage was already prepared, only waiting for Qin Mubai, the corps commander, to attend the ceremony.

The Great Tang army set out on an expedition. They all had established rituals and ceremonies, which were extremely solemn and solemn. After sacrificing the Wind God, Rain God, and the other gods, they had to carry out the ceremony of bestowing the Axe Cheng in the Imperial Temple. In other words, the Sovereign King awarded the axe and cheng, which symbolized the authority of the army, to the generals, saying such lines as “From now on, up to heaven (down to earth), general ruling”.

The ceremony lasted for a long time before it was over.

There were more than ten thousand soldiers in the three armies, half of whom were light cavalry. Even foot soldiers were equipped with workhorses, so the Tang army’s marching speed had always been extremely fast. After the provisions of the army, with ten thousand redundant civilian escort.

Qin Mubai since the town of ZhongJun, let Xue Rengui led three thousand former cavalry to open the way first, YuWen HongTai viceroy after the army and grain. There were more than 20,000 soldiers and civilians, 8,000 vehicles of all sizes, and the troops were winding for dozens of miles, heading towards Lanzhou in the western border!

When they reached the end of the Wei River Bridge, Qin Mubai stopped his horse and looked back at Chang’an.

After returning home for less than a month, he left in the blink of an eye. This time, he went to the Leng Yue Border Pass, where yellow sand billowed in the sky for tens of thousands of kilometers. He knew that at this moment, in some corners of Chang’an, someone must be looking up in the direction he was in.

Tens of millions of kilometers, the return date is uncertain; Stepping on the journey, the yellow sand reflected the golden armor …
