Horse on the World

Chapter 421 What happened during and after the banquet
Seeing everyone staring at him with wide-eyed eyes, Li Qing couldn't help but patted his head in embarrassment. He was busy for a while, but he forgot that he also had to prepare gifts. On the table, An Min is his own son, but he forgot.Glancing at Jiyue, she also looked at him eagerly.

I fumbled around for a while, but I really didn't have anything, not to mention gifts, I didn't even have a gold ingot or silver ingot. There was a thing on the waist, his eyes lit up, without even thinking about it, he took it off casually, held it in his hand, and said with a smile: "Give this thing to An Min to play with!"

It was a rectangular jade pendant. The whole jade pendant was fiery red. Under the light, it was extremely beautiful. What was especially precious was that in the very center of this fire jade was a vivid yellow dragon entrenched in the center, with its teeth and claws open, its beard and hair clearly visible. .

Li Qing, who thought he was going to win a big round of applause, found that all the people at the table were silent, and Shang Haibo's face was even more unsightly. After looking around, he saw that Qing Cheng's face was also very ugly.

Li Qing shrugged, and was about to put the fire jade by An Min's side, but Jiyue stood up suddenly, stretched out her hand to grab Li Qing's arm, and said, "Brother, this thing is too precious to give away. To Anmin!"

Hearing what Jiyue said, Shang Haibo's complexion improved a little, and he glanced at Jiyue appreciatively.

"It's just a plaything, what is precious or not, in my eyes, An Min is the most precious!" Li Qing laughed.

Shang Haibo stood up, "Marshal, the eldest son is young. It would be a pity if such a precious jade pendant is given to him to play with. In the whole world, there is probably only such a rare jade pendant."

Li Qing glanced at him strangely, then glanced at the fire jade in his hand, and saw the yellow dragon with its teeth and claws, and suddenly understood what everyone was thinking, and also understood why Qingcheng's face was so ugly, na na He quickly took back the fire jade, and said: "This is going to be difficult, I really didn't prepare anything else. Since everyone said it is not suitable, then forget it, and I will find a good gift for him tomorrow."

The symbolic meaning of this yellow dragon jade pendant is too great. Everyone present, including Boyan Sushun and Qingcheng, all understand that Li Qing is definitely aiming for the world now, but An Min is not a son-in-law after all. Qing gave this thing to An Min, which is to confirm An Min's special status, and the big woman Qingcheng is now pregnant with Liujia. Once she gives birth to a son-in-law, the battle for the son-in-law will inevitably take place in Dingzhou.

With this accident, the atmosphere in the hall became a little subtle, and the previously active atmosphere suddenly seemed a little stiff. "Take the gift, and order the food and drink to be served later!" Li Qing said: "Everyone, today is the [-]-day banquet for the dog, everyone will not return home if they are not drunk."

Changing the subject, Li Qing said with a smile.

"Exactly!" Everyone responded loudly, although their thoughts were turning in their hearts, but there was no abnormality on their faces. Anyone who can sit in the hall is not a guy with a delicate heart. Today, the commander-in-chief Is it deliberate or is it really an unconscious behavior?Everyone was thinking about this in their hearts.

Shang Haibo's heart was very heavy. The commander-in-chief's love for Qingfeng had never diminished. If it turns into Aiwujiwu, it will be very bad.

Qingfeng is one of the three carriages that constitute the power structure of Dingzhou. Apart from Li Qing, her influence is not lower than her own. Once her nephew becomes the legitimate heir of Dingzhou, her power will inevitably expand further, although The relationship between her and Jiyue is not very harmonious, but Shang Haibo dare not take this risk, after all, the same blood flows in their veins, once reconciled, with Qingfeng's ability, it will inevitably cause fatal damage to Dingzhou's power structure Destruction, and even in the future, when the commander-in-chief has made his fortune, it is more likely that his relatives will interfere in politics, and his knowledge runs through the past and present. Shang Haibo, who has seen too many such incidents, never wants this to happen.

"I hope Princess Qingcheng can give birth to a son. Now that the power of Chu is weak, Princess Qingcheng's power is far from enough to shake the foundation of Dingzhou. It will be more conducive to long-term peace and stability for the son to inherit the foundation of the future commander." Shang Haibo thought about his thoughts, He raised his eyes and looked at Princess Qingcheng who was opposite, unexpectedly, she was also looking at him.

The eyes of the two met slightly, and then they turned to other places as if nothing happened.After tasting a few mouthfuls of food, Qingcheng said to Li Qing in a low voice: "Marshal, I feel a little unwell, and I want to resign."

Li Qing glanced at her protruding abdomen, and said concernedly: "Is there nothing wrong? You are going to give birth too, so you must be careful. If you feel uncomfortable, please ask Mr. Huanxi to take a look."

Qingcheng frowned and said: "It's nothing serious, just go back and lie down."

"Okay, you go, let someone tell me if there is anything!" Li Qing said.

Qingcheng nodded, stood up, and confessed to everyone, and everyone in the hall also stood up, watching Qingcheng staggering into the back hall.

After drinking for three rounds, when everyone was in high spirits, a personal guard suddenly rushed into the hall, leaned over and whispered something in Li Qing's ear, Li Qing's expression changed slightly, he stood up, and said: " Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry, I suddenly have an urgent business that I need to deal with, please feel free. Mr. Shang, Mr. Lu, General Lu, Huzi, follow me."

The four of Shang Haibo stood up abruptly. Something happened suddenly at this time, which must be related to the two-line battlefield.

The four of them followed Li Qing into the study. In the study, there was already a person waiting there, but Tang Hu was talking with him. When he saw Li Qing and others coming in, that person stood up and saluted Li Qing. , "I've seen the commander!" Then he turned to Shang Haibo and the others, "I've seen you, my lords."

Li Qing waved his hand, "There's no need to be too polite, just talk about the matter directly!"

"Yes, Marshal, the next official is He Xinwu, Captain Zhenwu of the Military Intelligence Department. He received an urgent report today and came to report the military situation to the Marshal!"

"How's it going?" Li Qing raised his eyebrows. Although he knew that the matter had been settled by looking at He Xinwu's expression, he had to be told by the other party to be more at ease.

"Commander Deng Peng sent news that, ten days ago, General Zheng Zhiyuan and Zeng's allied forces led troops to capture Quancheng and Yingcheng, cutting off the retreat route of the Northern Army Lu Fengchun's troops. Now, Lu Fengchun's troops have been blocked in Shenzhou." He Heart martial arts.

"Okay!" Li Qing clapped his palms and laughed, "This Zheng Zhiyuan is very good. He wiped out Zhongxiang in Bazhou a while ago, and now he cut off the main force of the northern army from returning to the north, laying a good foundation for our army to defeat the Lu family!"

Everyone in the room was overjoyed.

"Commander, Jiang Kui's department should be activated!" Shang Haibo said.

"Huzi, immediately send an order to Jiang Kui and Tian Feng, let's do it, tell them, I will set off tomorrow, and I will arrive at Luo Feng in two days. At that time, I want to see that their army has broken through the enemy's defense line, and start to fight." Drive straight in."

"Yes, Commander!" Tang Hu's eyes lit up, the Commander was going to visit the front line again, and if he was lucky, he might still be able to win a few battles.

"Marshal, let's do it on the northern line. I'm afraid it won't be too long before the wind crosses the mountain, so we need to make preparations there!" Shang Haibo said.

"It's not just Guoshanfeng!" Li Qing said excitedly. "Huzi, your Qi Nian Division should also be prepared to enter Fuzhou at any time and support the Shanfeng battle. I must take down Quanzhou. General Lu, you should also be prepared in Bingzhou and wait for the opportunity. If As we expected, when the Xiao family defeated King Ning and drove straight into the area controlled by King Ning, Mr. Long in Xingzhou would probably also mobilize. If there is a chance, we might as well beat the dog in the water. We can’t let Qu Yongjie get all the benefits gone."

Lu Dalin was gearing up and said excitedly: "That's natural. After this battle, it will be difficult for the Xiao family to stand up again. King Ning retreated to the south, and if he can protect himself, he will burn the incense. Qu Yongjie's background is too weak. From then on, the power of Chu , I am the only one in Dingzhou."

Li Qing smiled and said: "Mr. Long's plan is very big. If you can take advantage of it, one will go up and the other will go up, which will be of great benefit to us in the future."

Everyone looked at each other and laughed, "This success is due to Qingfeng's statistics and investigation department. If she hadn't discovered Qu Yongjie's tricks, we would still be in the dark. By the way, Huzi, Immediately inform Director Qingfeng of this situation."

Qingfeng did not attend Anmin's [-]-day banquet today, and everyone knew it well and did not mention it. Now that the commander-in-chief mentioned Qingfeng, everyone's eyes were on Tang Hu.

"Commander, Director Qingfeng is not in Dingzhou. My wife accompanied the director to Fuzhou. I heard from my wife that Yuan Fang chased and killed Director Qingfeng all the way this time. The director was very angry. After returning, he began to clean up. Dingzhou has basically been wiped out of the secret agents of the staff department, but the situation in Fuzhou is a little more complicated, and the director personally went to preside over it."

Li Qing secretly sighed, knowing that Qingfeng had avoided the Hundred Days Banquet this time, but he couldn't say it.

The room here was extremely excited, but in the backyard of Zhenxihou Mansion, Qingcheng was depressed, sitting alone under the lonely lamp, resting his cheek on his hand, thinking about his own thoughts.

Great Chu is now in name only, and the Luoyang court is in the hands of the Xiao family. If they want, they can push down the Zhaoqing Emperor who is above the throne at any time, and her husband Li Qing's intentions are becoming more and more obvious now, and he wants to win the world. Not only him, but also the wish of all his subordinates, and where will he go?Do you marry the chicken and follow the chicken, the husband sings and the wife follows, or do you bow down to the great Chu?It's just the current situation, even if I am willing to die for Da Chu, can I change my form?

"Princess, General Nuo's wife, Princess Nafu, please see me!" A court lady came in on tiptoe and whispered.

"Naveu, what did she see me for?" Qingcheng raised her head, "I don't see you!" For this barbarian princess, Qingcheng didn't give her any favors.

The palace maid responded, and was about to leave the house when Qingcheng suddenly said: "Wait a minute." Ever since Nafu came to Dingzhou, he has never left the gate, never stepped through the second gate, and is very quiet, even Boyan Sushun and others I don't see him, let alone have any contact with him, why come to see him inexplicably.After thinking about it, he said, "Let her in!"
