The Yanming of the Five Hus and Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 24

When the Concubine Gongsun was about to enter the palace, Murong Ba happened to bump into her accidentally, Murong Ba quickly apologized: "Madam Gongsun is sorry, Murong Ba saluted you."

Concubine Gongsun covered her face and smiled, "That girl has been waiting for you for a long time, so don't hurry up." After speaking, the accompanying maid also smiled at Murong Ba.

Embarrassed, Murong Ba bowed his hands repeatedly, and walked straight out of the palace.

"Meet Sister Lan." Gongsun Guifei bowed as soon as she entered the room.

"Sister, don't be so polite." Concubine Lan hurriedly got up and wanted to help Concubine Gongsun to rest on the couch.

Concubine Gongsun Gui didn't get up, she just said: "Today my sister asks my sister one thing."

"Sister, let me tell you, I will help you if you can. Sister, don't be so polite." Concubine Lan only helped her to sit on the couch.

"Sister, in today's world of great strife, many ministers, princes, concubines, and concubines of clansmen have joined the army. My son admires tolerance and also wants to join the army." The concubine Gongsun bowed to Concubine Lan and said, "However, my Gongsun family has a humble position and a small position. I'm not from the Xianbei family, so I'm afraid no one will recommend you, if my sister is willing to accept me, I want my son to be a soldier in the Murong Ba's army, what can you do?"

"This..." Concubine Lan was a little hesitant, it wasn't that she didn't want to help Concubine Gongsun, but Murong Ba was now leading the army, if he suddenly led the concubine's younger brother into his son's army, he would inevitably be suspected of forming a clique. Ruofu rejected Gongsun Guifei's intentions, but he would feel very sorry.Sincerely difficult?
Concubine Gongsun also saw the clue and said: "Since my sister is in such a difficult situation, my sister should not force it. It is human nature to avoid dislike and benefit. I will let my brother find another way." After all, the situation intends to go out.

"Wait a minute, little sister." Concubine Lan was really smart, and she had already thought of a complete plan, so she said to Gongsun Guifei, "My sister's family affairs are my affairs. It is inconvenient to join the Ba'er army, but I think of one person who will definitely be accepted. your brother."

"I still hope that my sister will introduce me, my sister will support my son, and my sister will thank my sister first." I saw the concubine Gongsun leaving the warm couch and bowing to Concubine Lan.

"The son of Concubine Gao, Murong Ke." Concubine Lan helped Concubine Gongsun, retreated from the attendants, and led Concubine Gongsun into the courtyard to chat while walking.

Concubine Lan said in detail: "Murong Ke is deep and magnanimous, and respects his filial friends. In addition, his mother is not favored, and his sister and sister are both Han Chinese. It is reasonable to join his army, and I think it will not attract people's attention."

Concubine Lan gently took Gongsun Guifei's hand and said: "The tree is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. It's not that I don't like my sister's younger brother, but the moon is full and I will lose. Although Ba'er is in the limelight now, it is necessary for a mother Do it for a long time, don't make it attract people's attention. The heart of pity is the same in the world, sister, you have to understand sister."

"Sister, don't say such things, or my sister will panic instead." Concubine Gongsun Gui wanted to apologize again.Concubine Lan hurriedly grabbed her.

Concubine Gongsun Gui said: "My younger sister always listens to my elder sister. If so, please ask my elder sister to introduce Mr. Ke to my younger brother."

"Of course." The two of them held hands tightly.

The two chatted for a long time in the courtyard, which was really pleasant.While talking, Concubine Lan suddenly thought to herself: "I don't know what Ba'er is thinking?"

"Sister, Ba'er is intelligent and pure-minded, and I really like my younger sister."

"Forget it, I won't stay here when I'm older." Concubine Lan turned her head and said, "We sisters will meet up at the Lantern Festival this year, and I will introduce your younger brother and Mr. Na Ke."

"Trouble sister, thank you for being so caring."

"Hey, with the current situation, it is necessary to have foresight."

"Concubine Qi Lan, Mr. Ba and Duan Xian, the two of them rode on the same horse and went to Beiyuan Grassland." While speaking, the maid Xiao Ai came into the house to report.

"Beiyuan Grassland." Gongsun Guifei suddenly moved, struggling to lean on the table.

Concubine Lan had sharp eyes and hurriedly said: "Xiao Ai, you should serve outside." Xiao Ai bowed and left.

"Sister, you know." Gongsun Guifei threw herself into Concubine Lan's arms at this time, "After the first parting, the friendship between the two ends. After the Beiyuan parting, things are different now, and I have married Yan Wang Wife, he also returned home. I will never speak to him, right?"

"Sister, you and I are both duckweed in the water. 'Duckweed flutters, and the wind is light. What is my heart, I am with it. The empty bed is lowered, and no one knows." Now the world is chaotic, and only rely on Yan Wang Only then can it be established. When Murong Ren rebelled, Murong Han left. Liaodong was chaotic, and your Gongsun family is mostly dependent on King Yan, otherwise you would not be the only one who was wrongly killed."

Concubine Lan slowly wiped away the tears of Concubine Gongsun Gui, "The King of Yan also dotes on you, and now you have two sons, so it is important to cultivate your two sons carefully."

"What my sister said is that my heart is dead, but now that I see Murong Han again, I can't help..."

Concubine Lan fiercely covered her mouth, "You can only treat him as dead, it's taboo in the palace, my sister reminds you."

"My sister knows."

There is still a faint snow on the grassland in Beiyuan. At this moment, a black horse is carrying two people, galloping across the wilderness, aimlessly not knowing where they are going.I saw snowflakes splashing behind the horse's hooves, and a white mist rose.Not long after, the black steed ran to the river, but because it couldn't support it, it raised its front hooves, the horse neighed, and threw the two people off the horse.

The two were rolling on the snowy ground, but they saw that Duan got up first and walked straight forward, that Murong Ba quickly caught up and grabbed Duan Xian's arm.

But Duan Xian struggled to break free and said: "Don't let the servant block your future." After saying that, he walked forward without looking back.

I saw Murong Ba shouting loudly from behind: "Be careful."

The river bank is slippery and muddy, and after the snow covers the ground, others will fall if they don’t pay attention. At that time, I was angry, so I didn’t pay attention to anything, walked straight, and accidentally fell down. .

I saw that Murong Ba was about to squat down and helped her up, but Duan Xian said angrily: "I am low in stature and low in rank, I am not worthy of your master." He blocked him with words, intending to stand alone Forward.

After walking a few steps, he fell down again.

Murong Ba picked him up involuntarily, found a dry and flat place and gently put Duan Xian down, bent down to check her ankle, but saw that the sprained part was swollen, and the joints were black and blue. Forward.

Murong Ba couldn't help but pick up a puddle of snow on the ground and rub his ankle, trying to get rid of the swelling, gradually, the pain in Duan Xian's foot subsided, and Murong Ba's hand was really red.

"You are not as rude and rude as other princes and grandsons, but you are also quite careful." Duan Xian really didn't feel the anger just now.

But seeing Murong Ba staring at Duan Xian's face for a long time with fascination, Duan Xian was a little annoyed: "Just now I said that you are not like other princes and grandchildren, but you are also like Meng Lang." After saying that, he turned and wanted to leave.

"Miss Duan, I'm sorry." Murong Ba said apologetically, "I saw that the girl's eyebrows are like Daishan but slightly shorter, if..."

"If so how."

"If you can enjoy the joy of your thrush exclusively every day, you will be lucky in this life." Murong Ba summoned up his courage and said.

I saw that Duan Xian's face was blushing, and the blush on his cheeks was really beautiful under the morning glow.

"You are frivolous, ashamed." Duan Xian was ashamed

Murong Ba couldn't help but walk slowly on the field with Duan Xian on his back.

I only heard Duan Xian said: "It is true that my country was ruined and my family was destroyed. Fortunately, I was taken in by you. I am not as good as other virtuous and upright women. If you really want to marry me, will you regret it?"

But Murong Ba pointed to the snow-capped green mountains in the distance and said: "I swear by the snow-capped green mountains, I will not marry you in this life."

But I heard Duan Xian say: "You put me down quickly?"

Murong Ba didn't know why, so he had to put her down, only to hear Duan Xiandao: "I would like to hear that Zhuo Wenjun of the early Han Dynasty wrote a book to Sima Xiangru with a white head. Now you are very popular. If King Yan doesn't allow it, what should you do? If you have Two-hearted?"

"It's as white as snow on a mountain, and as bright as the moon between clouds. I heard that you have two opinions, so I came to make a decision. Today's drinking party, Mingdan ditch water head. On the imperial ditch, the ditch water flows from east to west. Desolate and desolate, married You don't need to cry when you marry." Murong Ba pointed to Bai Xue Cangyun and said, "I wish to win someone's heart."

Duan Xian said: "The white head is not separated."

Outside the wilderness, under the white snow, streams gurgling, and egrets spreading their wings in the distance.The two young men hugged each other.

The sun has already set, the gate of Thorn City has been closed, but Murong Ba is holding Duan Xian with his arms, walking slowly on his horse, and he has arrived at the city of Thorn.

"Who is coming? Did you know that there is an order from the country of Yan. The drums have passed at three o'clock in the morning, and the gates of the city are closed. Pedestrians must go back to their places, and they must not violate the order."

"I am Murong Ba, General Ping Di, quickly open the city gate." Murong Ba shouted from his horseback.

"What's flat'low' and flat high? The villain only knows military orders, and the gate can only be opened by edicts. Otherwise, it's hard to follow orders." The city gate guards bowed their hands and stopped responding.

"Bold, I am the royal family of Murong, be careful that I will report your city gate order and cut off your dog's head." Murong Ba was furious and wanted to rush in.

But Duan Xian hugged his arm, put his hand on his cheek and said: "Murong Ba, this is a law-abiding person, and he should be rewarded. Orders and prohibitions can make government orders smooth. If everyone opens the door of convenience, this state affairs Just don’t worry about it anymore, take it seriously.”

"Duan Xian is right, the success of the country's affairs in the past few years depends on the sergeants, I was reckless." Murong Ba picked her up and dismounted gently. "But your foot injury is still unhealed, so tonight you and I can only wait under this city gate."

"It's okay, with you by my side, it's okay." Duan Xian said.

It was night, the moon was bright and the stars were few, and the moon around the winter solstice was extraordinarily round. The silver glow sprinkled on the emeralds on Duan Xian's head, giving off a glimmer of light. Murong Ba hugged her, and Duan Xian fell asleep in Murong Ba's arms. Murong Ba took advantage of this to watch Ta secretly, and saw that the eyelashes were curved like crescent moons, pretty.The vermilion lips are lightly closed, the skin is as thick as fat, can be broken by blowing bombs, and the hair is like filaments.

But I saw Duan Xian laughing suddenly in his sleep, even more dimpled, but graceful and graceful.

Murong Ba looked carelessly infatuated, and wanted to kiss her gently on the cheek, but seeing her turn her head, he stopped quickly, for fear of waking her up.Looking at Duan Xian, Murong Ba also gradually fell asleep.

The moon was already high, and suddenly the gate of the city opened, but a group of Yan troops went out, led by Murong's army.

The vanguard general didn't expect that there was a couple of men and women here under the city gate at this moment, so he hurriedly said: "General Guangwei, don't let others know about this secret matter, I think this pair of dogs and men will misunderstand my important matter and let others know." I ended up with them."

"Wait a minute" Murong Jun got off his horse and checked, "Who am I? It turns out to be the Ba Gongzi, the beauty is in my arms, how comfortable it is."

At this moment Murong Ba and Duan Xianju have woken up, upon hearing this, their faces turned red even more.I only heard Murong Ba say: "I was playing outside the city, but I missed the time, so I have to stay here."

"Even if it's a mistake, there's no need to cuddle. Talented men and beautiful women are a perfect match." Murong Jun said with a smile on his face.

"Uncle Jun wants to laugh at us." Murong Ba noticed that Murong's army was going here, the army was neat and well-dressed, all the soldiers were silent, so he asked, "Uncle Jun, what is the purpose of going here?"

Uncle Jun was about to speak, but he saw the general standing beside him stop him and said, "Young Master Ba, this is a secret matter in the army, so don't ask too many questions, right?"

Murong Ba had doubts in his heart, why did the princes of the Murong family be controlled by the generals, but he didn't think too much about it, he raised his hands and said: "If it's for military affairs, it's not convenient to ask, but there is just one thing."

"Nephew, tell me, if I can do it, I will spare no effort."

But seeing that Ba'er and Duan Xian were also embarrassed, they said: "We are already late, can you please accommodate the city gate guards and let us in."

"That's how it is, it's easy to say, let's call your city gate order to come down." Murong Jun sent an order to the guard.

Not long after, the city gate order hurried downstairs, and saw Murong Jun raised his waist card and said: "This card has the right to do things cheaply, I order you to always let these two return to the city."

The man looked at it hastily and said, "It's the token of the former military division general. I understand it." He raised his voice and said, "Brothers, I invite you two to return to the city." After that, all the guards Qi Qi line up, Murong Ba and Duan are invited to enter the city first.

"Nephew, let's leave now." After saying that, the leader of Murong's army went straight to the west without hesitation.

"Murong Ba, it's strange, did you hear that?" Duan Xian was thoughtful.

"What's the matter?" Murong Ba asked puzzled.

"The city gate order will let it go when it hears Murong Ping's token, it's really powerful." Duan Xian said.

"Who says it's not? It's just that during the Murongren Rebellion, Murong was appraised for his contribution to helping the country, and King Yan entrusted him with state affairs, so he has a lot of power." Murong Ba was helpless.

"It's getting late, Murong Ba, hurry back to your concubine mother, don't make her worry." Duan Xian turned to look at him, but there was a lot of reluctance in his eyes.

"Then I'll take you back to Concubine Gongsun's residence first." Murong Ba was about to get on the horse, holding his hands tightly.

"Murong Ba, the future will be long, and I'm not in a hurry." Duan Xian said goodbye to Murong Ba.

"Everyone, send Miss Duan back. If there is any mistake, I will ask you." Murong Ba said to the soldiers.

Of course, those sergeants bowed their hands in a hurry. They had already had some displeasure before, and now they were even more afraid of making a mistake.

"Miss Duan." Murong Ba shouted, but seeing Duan Xian was stunned, Murong Ba kissed her unexpectedly.

"I hate it." Duan Xian was annoyed, his face flushed.But Murong Ba whipped his horse and went straight to Concubine Lan's palace.Duan Xian didn't want to leave for a long time at this time, until the sergeant urged him to come back to his senses.

In a blink of an eye, Murong Ba had arrived in front of Concubine Lan's Palace, but there were no palace people on either side, only Uncle Lan Jian was in front.

Seeing Murong Ba, Lan Jian let out a long sigh: "You are back, your mother is dying of anxiety."

"Trouble uncle, mother is troublesome, I'll go in and apologize to mother." After finishing speaking, Murong Ba bowed deeply to Lan Jian.

"Your uncle is fine, you can go in quickly."

I saw candles dancing in Lan Fei's bedroom, and Lan Fei was sulking beside the bed.

"Mother." Murong Ba only knelt at his mother's feet.

"You missed your mother today." Concubine Lan was furious, "Be fascinated by that little girl."

"Mother, Duan Xian is as smart as you, mother."

"Shut up, Ruoguo's intelligence shouldn't hinder your future." Concubine Lan wanted to cry.

"Mother, what do you mean?" Murong Ba didn't know how to persuade him for a moment.

"Your father has loved you for a long time, and he asked you to lead troops and confer titles, all for the sake of being the son of the Yan Kingdom." Concubine Lan finally couldn't help it, "That Duan family is the one under the fence of your Murong family. Scar, you have to uncover it again."

"How about the title, how about the son?" Murong Ba wanted to get up, and walked out of the palace, "If you can accompany the white head, and the two are not equal, what about the king?" After finishing speaking, he left Concubine Lan's bedroom without hesitation.
