At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 642

In Fuyang County, Wei Commandery, Li Michang sighed. Handan still fell into the hands of Gao Changqing after all. Yu Wenhua and the large amount of treasures plundered from Jiangdu naturally made Gao Changqing cheaper. He had been busy for several months, losing troops and generals, and hurting his muscles and bones. , In the end, almost nothing was gained, and even Dou Jiande's territory was handed over to Gao Changqing. In this way, Gao Changqing's strength was undoubtedly stronger, and the next step to enter the Central Plains was a foregone conclusion.

For a while, Li Mi finally realized the helplessness of "Since Shengyu, He Shengliang"!
However, as the saying goes, blessings come without pairs, and misfortunes never come singly.Just as Li Mi was sighing, another bad news came again. Wang Shichong suddenly launched a mutiny in Luoyang City, and together with Duan Da, he killed Lu Chu, Yuan Wendu and others, and completely controlled the entire Luoyang City. That is to say, now Luoyang has been decided by Wang Shichong alone, and Yue Wang Yang Tong has been reduced to a complete puppet emperor.

Li Mi couldn't help crying without tears. He tried his best to win the favor of Yue Wang Yang Yu, and gave money and goods to Lu Chu and Yuan Wendu and others. ", as a result, Wang Shichong suddenly cut the beard first, completely shattering his fantasy.

Li Mi's heart is bitter, here he lost his wife and lost his army, and made Gao Bufan's wedding clothes in vain, while he stole chickens and got nothing but rice, he was so aggrieved that he almost vomited three liters of blood.

Li Mi thought about it, and felt that he should take advantage of the unstable situation after Wang Shichong's mutiny and quickly capture Luoyang, so he hurriedly led his troops back to Luoyang, and sent Bing Yuanzhen to guard Liyang Cang.

Li Mi was very annoyed by Shan Xiongxin's defection to Gao Bufan, and he was also alert. He was afraid that Pei Renji would turn his back on him, so he decisively transferred him away from Liyang Warehouse and took him with him to watch over him. After all, Pei Renji's son, Pei Xingyan, was under Gao Bufan's command. Therefore, the possibility of Pei Renji's betrayal is extremely high, and he must not be allowed to guard Li Yangcang again.

…………

There is a lake in the south of Handan City, full of green lotus and water chestnut. It is midsummer, lotus flowers are in full bloom, and lotus leaves are in fields.But seeing a fishing boat wandering on the blue waves, passing through the lotus leaves and flowers, it is naturally freehand.Yang Qingruo gently shook the oars, and the lake wind blew her black and smooth black hair, which was as beautiful as poetry and picturesque.

At this time, Yang Qingruo was wearing a water-green high-waisted pleated skirt with a belt tied above her chest. The peaks and peaks stood tall and her curves were proud. She was wearing a light pink wide-sleeved gown without a mask or a skirt. , that stunningly beautiful face is so beautiful that it makes people feel refreshed, as if it eclipses the surrounding lotus.

Gao Bufan sat in the cabin of the fishing boat, admiring Yang Qingruo's moving beauty while rowing, and from time to time showed a look of drunkenness, even Yang Qing felt a little embarrassed by this guy, Frowning his eyebrows, he said angrily, "Have you seen enough of His Royal Highness King Qi?"

Gao Bufan said calmly: "There must be no one. Who made the Gongsun family so good-looking and fascinated this king, and I can't get enough of them in my lifetime. Well, the Gongsun family is so beautiful, it really lives up to its reputation."

Yang Qingruo felt sweet in his heart, looked at him, and said with a charming smile: "It turns out that His Royal Highness Qi likes Yingxiu, do you want to be Yingxiu's guest?"

Gao Bufan gulped his saliva and said, "Is it possible?"

Yang Qingruo's pretty face darkened immediately, and she said coldly: "Men are indeed not good things."

Gao Bufan was taken aback: "Qingruo, you won't even eat your own jealousy, will you?"

Yang Qingruo laughed out loud, and then said a little savagely: "Are you afraid? Let's see if you dare to provoke me."

Gao Bufan said with a smile: "Don't dare, my lord, Xiao Wang will peel a water chestnut for you to eat. If Xiao Wang serves you well, you can give Xiao Wang a few more smiling faces." Pick up a water chestnut.

The water chestnut was just picked from the lake, and it was very fresh. Gao Bufan picked up the water chestnut and pretended to peel it off, but his left shoulder was injured, so he couldn’t use any strength at all. He couldn’t peel it off with only one hand, so he raised his left hand subconsciously , As a result, the wound was affected, and he couldn't help but let out a muffled snort.

Yang Qingruo hurriedly put down the oars, stretched out her hand and snatched the water chestnut from someone's hands, peeled off the water chestnut with a few slaps with her slender fingers, and then fed it to Gao Bufan's mouth, scolding: "If you are injured, you can learn from others." Be courteous!"

Gao Bufan ate the sweet water chestnut, showing a tricky smile, Yang Qingruo cast a coquettish glance at the former, in fact, it's not that she couldn't see this guy's tricks, but she couldn't help but feel distressed when she saw his frowning, So it's purely subconsciously pampering this guy.

"Fresh water chestnut is still delicious, Qing Ruoyou will also try it." Gao Bufan brought a piece of peeled water chestnut to Yang Qingruo's lips, and the latter bit it lightly and ate it.

Gao Bufan took the opportunity to lean forward, and quickly took a mouthful of that bright little mouth, feeling soft and cool, as attractive as it could be.

Yang Qingruo's face was full of pink, and he was about to hit him. Gao Bufan immediately pointed to his shoulder, and said shamelessly: "This king is a wounded person, and he has preferential treatment!"

Yang Qingruo was angry and funny, but when he thought of the way the villain was blocking the knife for him, his heart softened, but he really couldn't fight anymore, so he took back his fist in resentment, unexpectedly someone licked it meanly Lips, showing a look of endless aftertaste.

So Chief Manager Yang's punishment fell on someone's waist, the pain made him grin his teeth, regretting his mistakes, and obediently begged for mercy!

The two of them were arguing with each other, and they sailed to the depths of the lotus leaf without knowing it, while Gao Dahe and other personal soldiers were very witty and patrolled the boat tens of kilometers away, so as not to disturb His Royal Highness Qi. good thing.

The lotus leaves are very dense, and they are more than one meter above the water surface, like umbrellas. The sunlight leaks down, casting one spot after another on the clear lake water, and the fish swimming underwater are also clearly visible.

I don't know when, Yang Qingruo has already tenderly nestled into Gao Bufan's arms, Gao Bufan hugged her moving waist, sniffing the fragrance in the hair tips, the two of them just like this, quietly admiring the splendid lotus, flying over The flying dragonflies, and the occasional carp swimming under the lotus leaves, everything is so warm and beautiful, even time seems to have stopped.

wow...

A big golden carp suddenly jumped out of the water, took a lotus petal in its mouth, then fell back into the water with a plop, and then dived back to the bottom of the lake wagging its head and tail.

Yang Qingruo's beautiful eyes twinkled, and she asked in surprise, "Damn you, did you see that the carp actually took a lotus petal in its mouth? This is the first time I've seen such a strange thing."

Gao Bufan smiled and said, "I see, this is a male carp!"

Yang Qingruo said in astonishment, "How do you know?"

"Otherwise, why does it pick lotus flowers? Naturally, it is given to the female carp." Gao Bufan said, reaching out to cut off a budding lotus flower, and then gently inserted it into Yang Qingruo's hair bun. It looks so beautiful!
Yang Qingruo spat lightly, and said joyfully and shyly: "You're talking nonsense! You don't know how many women have been cheated by that smooth-tongued fellow."

Gao Bufan's heart fluttered, he hugged Yang Qingruo's slender waist, took a sip on that beautiful face, and said softly: "Qingruo, you promised last time that you will stay with me for the rest of your life after you finish your business, right? ?”

Yang Qingruo's delicate body trembled slightly, she lowered her head and remained silent, Gao Bufan couldn't help but feel his heart tense, and frowned, "Could it be that Qingruo you want to go back on your word?"

Seeing this guy so nervous, Yang Qingruo was both happy and angry, and shyly said: "Who repented, it's just...how are you going to arrange me?"

Gao Bufan took it for granted: "Naturally, the Ming matchmaker is getting married, and the big red sedan chair has been married."

Yang Qingruo bit her cherry lips and said, "But you already have one concubine and two concubines, how do you let Qingruo deal with herself?"

Gao Bufan couldn't help but suddenly realized that although he didn't care about his status, Qing Ruo did, and so did his subordinates.

Seeing Gao Bufan's silence, Yang Qingruo couldn't help feeling bitter, she lowered her eyes and said nothing, saddened.

Gao Bufan quickly hugged Yang Qingruo's slender waist, leaned into his ear and whispered: "Rules are also made by people. Didn't Emperor Xuan of the Northern Zhou Dynasty also have five queens? I will definitely not let Qingruo feel wronged."

Yang Qingruo's delicate body shook slightly, she quickly stretched out her jade hand to cover Gao Bufan's mouth, frowned and said: "If you follow the example of the king who subjugated the country, won't you make Qingruo bear a lifetime of infamy? Don't bring it up again in the future."

Gao Bufan grabbed Yang Qingruo's hand and said with a relaxed smile: "People call Zhou Xuandi absurd not because he established five empresses, but because he destroyed the country. If he can make Northern Zhou stronger, let alone establish five empresses." Queen, even if there are a hundred queens, future generations will praise him as a wise monarch."

This is indeed a fact. History is always written by the victors. Take Li Shimin as an example. He relied on the Xuanwumen mutiny to rise to power, and he did things that are against human ethics. He became one of the most wise and great monarchs in history. This is the power of the pen. Under the embellishment of the pens, the winner is justice and Wei Guangzheng.

Yang Qingruo was moved in her heart, turned around and took the initiative to embrace Gao Bufan, offered a sweet kiss, and then said softly: "But doing so will damage your reputation after all. In fact, you can have such thoughts, Qingruo is already satisfied, Qingruo I don't want to argue with them, as long as you treat me well."

Gao Bufan was both moved and pleasantly surprised, he didn't expect Qing Ruo to have such a heart, he caressed the hair on the back of his head and said: "Qing Ruo, you know me, you have always been informal, and you don't care about name or status. Too much, at home, I treat Wugou and the others equally, and the same will be true when Qingruo you come into the house. Well, I will ask Du Ruhui to think about the etiquette, and then I will marry Qingruo you in a beautiful way. Let Qing Ruo feel wronged."

Yang Qingruo nodded happily.
