Horse on the World

Chapter 987 confession

A crescent moon hangs high in the night sky, and the hazy moonlight pours down. Accompanied by gusts of breeze, the night quails in the air and the chirping of insects and ants in the grass, mixed with the sound of wheels rolling forward, form a serenade.More than a hundred special guards of the Overwatch Council in black were guarding a carriage, running forward on the wide road.Not far ahead is Qixia Pass, which has penetrated into the core area controlled by Dingfang. This made Han Yong, who was in charge of the security work, heaved a sigh of relief. More than 100 people protected such an important person as Qingfeng and returned to Dingzhou. This turbulent New Year is really a bit uneasy.

He could vaguely see the lights above the majestic city tower of Qixia Pass, Han Yong looked back at the black carriage in the cavalry team, and his heart was full of puzzlement.

At this time, why did Dean Qingfeng choose to return to Dingzhou?
"Miss, seeing that the Luoyang regime is about to be wiped out, why did you choose to go back at this time?" In the carriage, Xia Xue also asked puzzledly: "This is the most glorious time for the victors when the army enters Luoyang. , Aren’t you willing to stand on the tower of Luoyang with the lord and receive the cheers of hundreds of thousands of soldiers?”

Qingfeng withdrew her hand holding the curtains and brushed her loose hair, "The glory at that time belonged to the general alone, so what was it for me to stand beside him? Besides, in what capacity should I stand by the general's side?"

Qiuping muttered in a low voice: "Miss, no matter what your status is, you are qualified to stand by the lord's side."

Qingfeng smiled sadly, "No matter what my identity is, I can't see the light. As long as I can stand in the corner and watch the general ascend to the highest place and accept the cheers of the crowd, it is enough for me, but it's a pity , if I was still in Luoyang at that time, it would not only embarrass the general, but also make many generals feel unhappy. After all, they are the biggest contributors to this war, so I can only choose to leave and return to Ding Go to the state, and there, silently bless the general."

"Miss, why do you have to be so hard on yourself?" Xia Xue gritted her teeth and said, "Right now, it is a certainty that Mr. Anmin will go out, even if Mrs. Wen comes forward, it will not help, as long as General Wang Qinian is in Dingzhou After preparing the corresponding matters, we all understand, if only Mr. Anmin is going out, how can someone like General Wang accompany him?"

Qingfeng nodded, "Yes, it is inevitable for Anmin to go out. This involves the general's future government layout, and its impact must be extremely far-reaching. In fact, Anmin's going out is just a signal. I am afraid that someone will be stationed there in the near future. Going overseas, this is just the first step, you don’t understand these things, even I sometimes can’t figure out what the general wants to do.”

Rubbing his temples with two fingers, "What on earth is the general trying to do? Why is the general trying to limit the power of the clan, but any heir with a large power behind him must not escape this ending, not just An Min, I am afraid Then it will be Jishi's turn."

Qiuping said in amazement: "Could it be that my lord is paving the way for the future of Shimin or Zemin? Behind Anmin, you and the Li family are the most powerful, so the first one is excluded. Behind Jishi is the descendant of Great Chu." , and at the moment, it seems that there will be more and more ministers of Great Chu, so the second one will be Jishi."

"It seems to be the case at the moment, but I have never understood one thing. After the rise of a new dynasty, it is all about strengthening the power of the royal family to stabilize the rule, but the generals are doing the opposite, constantly weakening the Li family The clans, instead, kept strengthening the power of the cabinet. Right now, people like Xu Yunfeng, Fu Zhengqing and others are leading the cabinet envoys as governors of a local state. I am afraid that the central government will expand, and the heavier the power of the prime minister, the imperial power will be weakened invisibly. When the general is still there, these ministers can still be restrained, but if the general continues to implement such a policy, after a hundred years of the general, in the past few decades The policy inertia formed will continue, and future successors will be in trouble. The general is very wise, why can’t he see this, or is the general doing it on purpose?"

Qingfeng said to himself authentically.

Xia Xue suddenly said: "Miss, why don't we bring Mr. Nianqing back, since Anmin Jishi is out, as soon as Nianqing comes back, with the affection between the lord and you, Mr. Nianqing is the most likely."

"Shut up!" Qingfeng's face changed, "Xia Xue, Qiuping, you two, remember it for me, read this matter clearly, and rot in my stomach forever, don't let the slightest leak, I don't I hope my son will be involved in this big dispute in the future. If the Li clan knows that they have failed with An Min, they will make their mind on Nian Qing, and use Nian Qing as an opportunity to unite those who followed me This will make Nian Qing die without a place to bury him."

"How could it be?" Xia Xue said in a low voice: "Master Nianqing is the son of the lord, and a tiger's poison does not eat its own son!"

Qingfeng glared at her, and said: "The royal family has no family ties. If the appearance of Nian Qing endangers the policies that the general wants to implement, Nian Qing may end up in the same fate as An Min. Although Shiwei is far away, he is still here Let Nian Qing stay in Shiwei and live a peaceful life, and with Wang Qi there to take care of him, he will not suffer any pain."

"Yes, Miss!" The two replied in low voices.

"If it's possible, after the general ascends to the position, I'm going to leave quietly and go to Shiwei to find a deep mountain and live in seclusion!" Qingfeng said quietly.

"Miss, I'm afraid this is unlikely. How could my lord let you go?" Xia Xue said.

Qingfeng smiled bitterly, yes, how is it possible?

"Miss, the Qixia Pass is ahead. I have sent people to inform the guards to make preparations in advance so that after the lady arrives, she can rest as soon as possible." Han Yong's voice came from outside the car.

"Well! But I told them not to make a big fuss, I don't want too many people to know."

"Don't worry, miss, I have paid."

An hour later, a group of people arrived at the city gate of Qixiaguan. The city gate was brightly lit. One person stood at the gate with his hands behind his back. Han Yong, who was riding a horse, could see it clearly. He couldn't help being surprised, and got off his horse to meet him .

"General Li Wu, why are you, why are you at Qixia Pass?"

Li Wu greeted her with a smile, and said in a low voice: "The lord also arrived at Qixia Pass today, and will leave for Luoyang tomorrow. I heard that Miss Qingfeng is back, and the lord asked me to come and greet her."

"So it is!" Han Yong nodded.He led Li Wu and walked towards the carriage.

"Before I came, I went to see old man Han. The old man is much better. He has been walking in the yard with a cane, but it will take at least half a year to fully recover." Li Wudao.

"Thank you, General Li, for your concern!" Han Yong clasped his fists and said, "Father has lost a lot this time, Yuan Fang is such a bad thief."

"That is, in our Dingzhou, the only person who could face Yuan Fang head-on in the past was Zhong Jing, what a pity!" Li Wu shook his head, and the two walked to the carriage, Li Wu clasped his fists and said, "Li Wu met Miss. "

Qingfeng opened the curtain, "The general has arrived at Qixia Pass?"

"Yes, my lord asked me to meet Miss."

Qingfeng nodded, put down the curtains, and said to Xia Xue and Qiuping: "You two and Han Yong go first, settle down, and we will start tomorrow morning."

"Yes, Miss!" The two got out of the carriage and stood together with Han Yong. Li Wu nodded to the three of them, jumped onto the shaft of the carriage by himself, shook the reins, and left with the carriage. Li Qing's personal guards who followed Li Wu followed immediately. leave.

Li Qing was reading the military newspaper sent by Luoyang in his room. Every day, there were endless couriers who sent the situation on the front line to his desk, so that he knew the situation on the front line in Luoyang well. The east wind is blowing, and when he arrives in Luoyang, it will be the beginning of the Dingzhou Army's siege of Luoyang.

Hearing the footsteps from outside and the salutes of the guards, Li Qing knew that Li Wu had received Qingfeng, he stood up, walked to the door and opened the door, looked at Qingfeng coming towards him, and greeted Qingfeng with a smile. up.

Li Wu stopped immediately, and let Qingfeng greet Li Qing alone.

"Why did you come back?" Li Qing took Qingfeng's cold little hand without hesitation, and looked Qingfeng up and down, "It's been half a year since I left Dingzhou, but you've lost weight again, that's not okay Ah, your body is inherently weak, so running around on the battlefield for many years, not to mention the danger, the fatigue alone is too much for you."

Qingfeng smiled and said: "It's nothing. Compared with the soldiers who fought on the front line, I am far behind. Besides, I have been practicing some breathing skills that Zhong Jing taught me in the past, and my body has become much stronger. gone."

"Even so, you can't be careless." Reaching out to hold Qingfeng Xiangxiang's shoulders, the two walked towards the room: "After going back this time, I will take a good rest. Bao'er has moved out of Taoyuan Xiaozhu."

Qingfeng smiled slightly, "It's a busy time to go back. Since the general has decided on Dingzhou as the future capital, it is necessary to sort out the city of Dingzhou before you come back."

"Leave these things to Ji Sichen, don't always work so hard." Li Qing smiled while supporting Qingfeng to sit down. "Mingyan married Huanxi, are you surprised?"

"It's a bit of an accident, but Mingyan is also a poor person. It's not a blessing for her to be taken care of by Dr. Huan who knows the cold and the hot in the rest of her life." Red, ready to cry.

Li Qing couldn't help being silent for a while, knowing that the matter of Mingyan would inevitably arouse Qingfeng's sadness, he didn't know how to comfort her for a while.

"In Taoyuan Xiaozhu, the acacia trees around the house you used to live in are all budding!" Li Qing said: "It will be a while before you can see them blooming in full bloom. This time I go, I am afraid it will be another It's been a few months, it's a pity I can't enjoy it with you!" The acacia flower has an extraordinary meaning to him and Qingfeng.

Qingfeng bowed his head in silence for a while, then stood up suddenly, walked to Li Qing, knelt down on the ground, "General, I have something to ask!"
