Love Affairs in Chang'an - Chapter 444

Chapter 444 As If Fried Or Boiled

Qin Mubai finally suppressed the trace of hostility in his heart and didn’t kill Yuan Tiangang.

This time, only a few people knew the truth: Tantai Dandan, Su Lianqing, Qin Shi, Lu Youhai, and the family of Lanzhou. Even Hou Junji only knew one thing and didn’t know the other.

Qin Mubai was 100% sure that these people were his true confidants and would strictly keep their secrets. The Tantai sisters and Su Lianqing were all bestowed by Qin Mubai, and they didn’t have the courage or need to betray or betray him again, especially Su Lianqing. There was no need for Qin Shi to say that if there was someone in this world that Qin Mubai trusted, then that person was not Qin Mubai himself, but Qin Shi, the “dog slave”. Lu Youhai was not in the army, nor was he in the official circles. He had nothing to do with anyone. He only knew one thing, and that was to serve Qin Mubai.

Hou Junji, on the surface, it seems that this person is extremely cunning and cunning, just like a crafty lone wolf that is most untrustworthy. On the contrary, Qin Mubai felt that he was the most reliable person among all the generals. The reason was very simple. Even Emperor Li Shimin, whom he respected the most, had abandoned him. Only Qin Mubai could take him in, help him, reuse him, and trust him. Did he still have a choice and need?

It’s not that others aren’t trustworthy. However, the fewer people knew the truth, the higher the chances of success for this desperate scheme to deceive the world.

Therefore, Qin Mubai was truly filled with killing intent towards Yuan Tiangang. Although this was completely different from his usual style of being a person, it was very extraordinary. Qin Mubai didn’t hesitate to be a poisonous husband!

In this battle, Qin Mubai had already bet all his money. He didn’t want any mishaps to happen!

It was Yuan Tiangang’s last sentence that saved his own life-“This old man, I will never face him again in this life.”

Qin Mubai thought on the spot, “If one day, I willingly take off my battle robe and give up my military power and no longer care about any military affairs, would there be someone like me who let go of Yuan Tiangang today and let me go?”

“You and I, feel sorry for each other.” Qin Mubai said this behind Yuan Tiangang and let go of the hand holding the saber.

At that time, Yuan Tiangang turned around and smiled meaningfully at Qin Mubai. He put on his felt hat and left without turning back.

Qin Mubai knew that from now on, there would be no one like Yuan Tiangang in the world. Even if he did, he wouldn’t be able to face his fate.

After dawn, Qin Mubai, the shepherd, should go to Dafeichuan to graze the sheep and monitor the movements of the Tibetans. When they reached the entrance of the village, they discovered that Yuan Tiangang was actually still standing here.

“Why didn’t you leave?” Qin Mubai asked calmly while riding on his horse.

“Luckily, Young Marshal Qin, you still have a trace of pure kindness after risking everything, so you’re not crazy.” Yuan Tiangang was still smiling like that.

“You’re saying that my heart isn’t ruthless enough to kill you to prevent the secret from leaking out, right?” Qin Mubai coldly glanced at him and said.

“This old man has said that there is no harm in killing less evildoers and accumulating more blessings. Perhaps this trace of pure kindness of yours has already brought you tremendous benefits.” Yuan Tiangang’s expression was still as calm as ever. He placed his hand on the horizon and said, “Within seven days, there will definitely be a north wind and heavy snow. At that time, Dafeichuan will become a snowy ice field.”

“Is this the benefit you gave me?” Qin Mubai frowned slightly, “Can I be of use?”

“I just talked to Major Marshal about the weather. I don’t know anything else.” Yuan Tiangang deeply kowtowed to Qin Mubai. “Please tell my junior brother that Yuan Tiangang has already returned to the heavens without asking the mortal world. If His Majesty the Emperor wants to ask me again, then let my junior brother tell him so.”

Qin Mubai stared at Yuan Tiangang and gently nodded. “Heavenly Master Yuan, you are truly a broad-minded Dao Master. Actually, I know in my heart that half of you are looking for me because of the Emperor’s orders. Now, not only am I disrespectful to you, I am also tempted to kill you, but you still have to admit your righteousness.”

“To be able to tell the truth like this from Major Marshal is enough to see a person with a temperament worthy of close acquaintance.” Yuan Tiangang smiled and said, “Actually, this old man is not doing this out of selflessness. He also has his own intentions.”

Qin Mubai smiled, “What does Heavenly Master Yuan want from me?”

“The fulfillment of my previous deduction.” Yuan Tiangang smiled mysteriously.

“What deduction?” Qin Mubai smiled bitterly. “Didn’t you say that you would never face each other again?”

“That’s right. This is an oath I made. I will definitely not violate it.” Yuan Tiangang smiled and said, “However, this old man is completely fine. Let’s sit and see if the previous deductions have been fulfilled. This does not violate my oath.”

“Haha, then you can sit and take a look!” Qin Mubai smiled and said, “I don’t want to ask what the deduction is. Everyone’s ending is just death. Let him happen if he knows what will happen. He will live a boring life if he knows in advance.”

“Major Marshal is indeed a romantic figure with great wisdom and breadth of mind.” Yuan Tiangang laughed loudly like a bell, “If this old man’s deduction is fulfilled, this old man will naturally appear in front of Major Marshal and congratulate him face to face!”

“Congratulations?” Qin Mubai couldn’t help but be curious, “Can you give me a hint of what’s good about it?”

“Haha, Major Marshal just said that he doesn’t want to know.” Yuan Tiangang smiled.

“I suddenly changed my mind.” Qin Mubai laughed shamelessly, “I’m a bad person.”

“I don’t dare to say anything about the revelations of the heavens these past two days. Besides, I’m afraid that this old bone will really be buried in Dafeichuan.” Yuan Tiangang shook his head and smiled, “If Major Marshal insists on asking, I can only give you a hint-it’s related to your wife!”

“Which madam?” Qin Mubai was curious.

“That’s all I have to say! … Goodbye, Young Marshal Qin!” Yuan Tiangang chuckled and rode on a green-maned snow-hoofed horse.

“This old cow’s nose is purely appetizing!” Qin Mubai curled his lips angrily and muttered to himself, “Only one such peerless expert has appeared in thousands of years.” If you kill him, then there really is nothing left. Speaking of which, even I can kill him. There must be a lot of people who want to kill him in this world. Emperor Li Shimin, could he be one of them? Otherwise, why would this old man pretend to die and retreat? It seems that a man knows too much, and it’s not good–I don’t want so much, let my sheep go! ”

…

Desire is hard to fill, and the heart is never satisfied. The Tibetan soldiers who had just settled down in Dafeichuan and enjoyed two days of ease began to yearn for a richer and richer Lanzhou City.

There is the world’s largest Tang Longyou shepherd supervisor, there are countless cattle, sheep and horses; In recent years, the Silk Road business travel was exceptionally active, injecting countless wealth into Lanzhou; The women of the Central Plains were all delicate and tender, how could they be compared to the barbarian women on the plateau who had thick skin and thick flesh like cattle?

At least 30% of the Tibetan army were laughing in their dreams, thinking that they had already stepped into Lanzhou City, and that countless golden beads of beauties were willing to do whatever they wanted.

The other 70% didn’t laugh because they were busy with the saliva.

Although Tibet was called a dynasty, it was still unable to break free from the vile custom of Hu Bang-plundering for a living and raising the country by war. Their purpose in waging war was fairly clear: to plunder resources, wealth and human slaves. However, this time, their ambitions were even greater. They wanted to completely conquer Helong and trample on the Central Plains!

After the change of ownership, the Dafeichuan Military Camp was filled with a fishy smell and Tibetans laughed unscrupulously all day long. It was as if they had already flattened the Central Plains with their Lanzhou Sword Fingers.

Gaer Qinling finally regretted his mistake-he shouldn’t have been stationed in Dafeichuan so early. This would give all the soldiers the illusion that they had won a great victory, and that they were complacent and underestimated their enemies.

However, the situation was already like this. Military orders could restrain actions, but they could not control thoughts. Everyone in Da Fei Chuan was discussing when to send troops to attack Lan Zhou all day long!

The entire army was unprecedentedly eager to invite battle!

Gaer Qinling, on the other hand, remained motionless. However, none of their subordinates were able to sit still. They were no longer afraid of offending Gaer Qinling’s tiger’s might. One after another, they came to invite battles, all of them wanting to play the vanguard.

The morale of the crowd was unprecedentedly high.

Gaer Qinling knew that apart from wishing to obtain merit points and rewards, they also wanted to be the first to enter Lanzhou City, snatch the most gold beads and treasures, and dominate the most beautiful women as slaves.

In Tibet, this was originally justifiable!

However, the more eager the generals were to fight, the more dangerous Gaer Qinling felt. Hence, he rejected them all in one fell swoop. The entire army was suffocated by Gaer Qinling. All of them were like red-eyed hungry wolves, jumping up and down in the barracks all day, unable to live peacefully. The generals leading the troops began to complain about the marshal they had always respected. Said, the marshal has always been domineering Congo fearless, why this time went out to win successive battles, but instead become indecisive look back and forth? …

Gaer Qinling knew better than anyone that as a commander, the first thing he needed to do was not to have a military strategy, but to be able to convince others. Seeing that his prestige was declining and his image was being damaged, if this continued, all the soldiers would be separated from him!

However, in his heart, there was still a trace of haze that he could not get rid of. Even though he had repeatedly sent people to scout and spy on him, he had also thought about it over and over again, and had actually discovered any flaws.

As a result, Gaer Qinling could no longer think of a reason to delay the dispatch of troops. Originally, it was only natural for him to take advantage of the victory to chase after him. He had already postponed this for several days.

Thus, Gaer Qinling summoned Great General Wei Ru, Danba Urji, who was stationed in Dafeichuan …

Qin Mubai, who had been keeping the sheep for a few days, could already feel the smell of sheep coquettish all over his body. Moreover, it was getting colder and colder day by day. He wanted to put on a quilt and go out to graze his sheep.

The more he endured, the harder it would be … If the Tibetans wanted to spend the winter in Dafeichuan before invading Lanzhou, could it be that he had been hiding here to graze his sheep? Qin Shi and the others stayed in Illusory Moon Valley to defend the explosives and wait for them to freeze to death? There were even more people who kept tears streaming down their faces as they looked at their portraits and Spirit Places?

…

Qin Mubai felt that he could hardly endure any longer! Every night, chewing coarse wheat pancakes and sipping bitter tea boiled in muddy water in a cracked china bowl, Qin Mubai would shout at her own shadow-“Qin, if you have the guts, if you’re still a man, hang on! Hang on! Hang on! Hang on!”

“Gaer Qinling is also holding on! Whoever loses patience first, whoever can’t resist temptation and torture first, loses!”

“He can afford to lose, but you can’t!”

“Hold on!!!”

…

Finally, on the fourth day, a large number of soldiers and horses from the northwest of Da Fei Chuan arrived. As for the hundred thousand Tibetan cavalry that were originally stationed in the Dafeichuan barracks, the entire army was assembled and ready to deploy. The large cart pulled by dozens of white-haired yaks that Qin Mubai was familiar with finally drove into the Dafeichuan Military Camp. The entire barracks was filled with mountains and tsunamis, as if they were sworn generals!

“Fuck you! There’s finally a movement!” Under Qin Mubai’s excitement, he uttered this long-lost curse-gnashing his teeth, his entire body trembling!

“Gaer Qinling, have you ever been to the plateau to catch fish? Do you know that the bigger the fish, the more cunning and cautious it will be? I didn’t bother you in vain, just wait for you to go ashore!!!”
