Chapter 522 Spring breeze is proud of horseshoe disease

As early as that day after Mu Bai tried his best to turn the tide and regain Tongcheng, Shen Chuhan ordered Mu Bai to be named a general.

Originally, this way of appointing an official in one step to the sky would inevitably cause an uproar, but Mu Bai was a special case.

For one thing, everyone knew that he had been by Shen Chuhan's side for a long time, and he was highly regarded by Shen Chuhan.Second, he really used his soldiers like a god. Once he arrived in Tongcheng, he led the army of Zhao State to take back Tongcheng, which was occupied by Yan State, in just a few days.

In the army, everyone speaks on the basis of strength, so what he showed naturally convinced everyone.When the decree came down, almost no one expressed dissatisfaction.

The people in Lindu also heard about the bravery and skill of the newly appointed general, and also heard that he was still young, so they were extremely curious.So, when he heard that Mu Bai would lead his army back to Lindu today, he waited early on both sides of the road, impatient to pay his respects to the demeanor of this newly promoted young general.

Xuanying seemed to have expected this to happen, and sent armored guards to guard the road that Mubai must pass early on, in case the scene was too chaotic, order could be maintained in time.

By the way, Xuanying has also been promoted to be the joint commander of the Tiejiawei and Jinyiwei, which has never happened in the history of Zhao Kingdom.However, Shen Chuhan has always handled affairs with iron and blood, and even if someone is really dissatisfied, he dare not show it.

What's more, after Xuanying took office, he rectified the internal affairs and military discipline, and clarified the responsibilities of each team. Whether it was the guards inside and outside the palace, or the patrolling of the entire Lindu City, they were all on a higher level than before. .His credit is here, and others dare not say anything more.

As the sun gradually rose, before Mu Bai and the army were seen, the crowd on both sides of the road began to commotion. Fortunately, there were armored guards to maintain order, but it did not cause any confusion.

After waiting for a while, I heard the sound of horseshoes in the distance, and the crowd that had finally subsided was boiling again.

Soon, a group of soldiers and horses appeared at the city gate, the leader was a tall man with silver armor, his brows were as handsome as stars and moons, and there was a look of vigor between his brows. He came galloping with a whip in his hand, it was Mu Bai!
Behind him were about [-] cavalrymen, their horseshoes kicked up dust, although they were not a large force, they still appeared magnificent.

When Mu Bai entered the city, seeing the huge battle in front of him, he was obviously stunned, subconsciously reined in the reins to slow down, and at the same time signaled the soldiers behind him to proceed carefully, not to hurt the people on both sides.

Counting it, this is Mu Bai's first official appearance in front of the common people. Among the common people who greeted him, many young girls came here in the name of Mu Mubai. Excited, they shouted "General Chu" one by one, with overwhelming momentum, one wave after another.

Mu Bai's original surname was Chu, when Shen Chuhan ordered him to be a general, he restored his surname.

Mu Bai was obviously frightened, his eyes widened, and he looked at the scene before him in disbelief, not understanding what happened.

There were soldiers who had made friends with him behind him, and they were happy to see this. They rode forward and jokingly said in a low voice, "General Chu, now you are a celebrity in Lindu City."

Mu Bai was stunned for a moment, as if he was trying to understand something, the base of his ears turned red, but fortunately he was covered by a helmet, so no one else could see him.

After the soldier finished speaking, he backed away.

Mu Bai settled down and continued to gallop forward, not looking at the excited girls around him.

However, in the eyes of the elated girls on both sides, they only feel that he has a calm temperament and is really a good match.

At this moment, from a restaurant not far away from the street, there was a coquettish "puchi" laugh.

There was a small table by the window, and the two people sitting opposite were Shen Chuhan and Song Qinghuan who had left the palace in modest clothes.It turned out that Song Qinghuan knew that Mu Bai was going back to Beijing today, so he specially brought Shen Chuhan over to watch the excitement.

Song Qing laughed happily, "I didn't expect Mu Bai to be so popular."

Shen Chuhan smiled but said nothing, just raised his hand and poured her a cup of tea, "Didn't Ah Wan expect this to happen a long time ago?"

Song Qinghuan smiled "hee hee", and cast his eyes on Mu Bai who was gradually walking towards them, "Mu Bai is a good-looking talent, and at a young age, he has sat in the position of general, so he is naturally the best candidate for girls to ride the dragon and quickly become a son-in-law, but, They are not so lucky."

Speaking of this, she looked at Shen Chuhan, "Ashu, since Mu Bai is back this time, why don't you settle the matter between him and Azheng?"

Rong Zheng is not young anymore, it's better to arrange their marriage earlier.

Shen Chuhan nodded in agreement, "Ah Wan can arrange this matter."

"But..." Thinking of something, Song Qinghuan hesitated again.

"What's wrong?" Shen Chuhan asked.

"Murong Zhuo managed to find his younger sister, Azheng. If Azheng is married, it doesn't seem very good if he's not here." But Murongzhuo is now far away in Chongzhou, if he wants to come back, he has to wait until after peace talks with Liangguo, but Right now, Su Rao's intentions are unclear, and it's unknown how long it will be delayed.

She sighed helplessly, "Forget it, it seems that this matter needs to be discussed in the long run."

Shen Chuhan held her hand, and said in a gentle voice, "You can ask Rongzheng what he means later."

Song Qinghuan nodded, and looked back at Mu Bai, but saw that his eyes fell on a crowd, and he seemed to be in a daze, but he was far away and couldn't see the expression on his face clearly.

Song Qinghuan was slightly suspicious, followed his gaze, and couldn't help being startled.

I saw a girl in a crescent moon white coat and skirt standing in the crowd, her complexion was porcelain white, her appearance was elegant and delicate, she looked particularly eye-catching among the girls in red and green rings and jingle bells.

Seeing the girl's face clearly, Song Qinghuan couldn't help but smile.

The girl Mu Bai looked over was Rong Zheng.

Just now she was thinking about whether Rong Zheng would come out to see Mu Bai today, but she thought of Rong Zheng's demure temperament and didn't like to join in the fun, so she dismissed this idea.

Unexpectedly, it still came out after all, probably because it's been so long since I haven't seen it, and I still can't stop the overwhelming yearning in my heart.

Song Qinghuan snickered twice in his heart, and looked away in case Rongzheng saw that he was embarrassed.

At this moment, Mu Bai, who was on the verge of death, was even more excited.

Just now he glanced casually, and saw Rong Zheng in the crowd at a glance.She stood there quietly, with a graceful posture, like a lonely orchid in an empty valley.

Seeing that longing face, Mu Bai's heartbeat couldn't help speeding up, looking at her bewilderedly, he couldn't help but slow down.

Rong Zheng didn't expect Mu Bai to catch him at a glance, his heart was sweet and shy, he smiled sweetly at Mu Bai, his palms were covered with sweat.

However, Mu Bai looked at this side for too long, the girls around couldn't help dreaming, and the crowd started to commotion again.Mu Bai came back to his senses, and hurriedly looked away, not daring to look at Rong Zheng anymore, and continued to walk forward, but his face was no longer as cold as before, and there was joy overflowing from the corners of his eyes and brows.

The restaurant on the second floor.

Seeing her excited appearance, Shen Chuhan couldn't help laughing, and said warmly, "Ah Wan, let's go back to the palace too, Mu Bai will return to the palace later."

"Okay." Song Qinghuan agreed, got up contentedly, left the restaurant, and returned to the palace with Shen Chuhan.

*
This time against the Yan Kingdom, Mu Bai led all the soldiers to make great contributions, Shen Chuhan was very happy, and rewarded them one by one.

Because Mubai has been named a general, he was given a mansion in the middle of the capital as his future residence in the middle of the capital. He was also rewarded with gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin, not to mention.

On the second day, Mu Bai entered the palace again to thank him.

This time, it was Song Qinghuan who thanked him.

Because he had the gold medal bestowed by Shen Chuhan, he went all the way to Huaqing Palace without hindrance.The maid on duty at the gate saw that it was General Chu Mubai who was very popular recently, so she didn't dare to be negligent and rushed into the hall to report.

Song Qinghuan was teaching Youyou how to read in the palace, when she heard the report, she couldn't help smiling, looked at Youyou and said, "Youyou, your Uncle Mu Bai is here, can you go back to the palace with Aunt Chen Xing first?"

Before Mu Bai went to Tongcheng, because he pretended to be Shen Chuhan and was personally responsible for Youyou's safety, he often went to see her, so Youyou had a good relationship with him.

Therefore, upon hearing Mu Bai's news, Youyou tilted her head, smiled and said, "Mother, I may not have seen Uncle Mu Bai for a long time, how about returning to the palace after I see Uncle Mu Bai?"

Seeing her speak, Song Qinghuan responded, carried her to the main hall and sat down, and asked Mu Bai to come in.

Mu Bai followed the maid into the room, and when he looked up, he saw Song Qinghuan sitting at the top, looking at her with a smile, and there was a pretty little girl sitting next to her.

He walked to the bottom, just about to salute, but Youyou had already rushed down excitedly, and a voice like a silver bell rang in his ears, "Uncle Mubai!"

Mu Bai saluted with a smile, "Mu Bai has met Yijia Diji." Then he looked up at Song Qinghuan, "This subordinate has seen Young Madam."

Song Qing laughed happily, and asked Shen Xing to show him a seat, "There is no need to be polite, just sit down."

Mu Bai sat down according to his words, but Youyou also sat down on the chair beside him, because the chair was higher, his little feet were off the ground, dangling in the air, looking at Mu Bai with a smile, he said, "Uncle Mu Bai, I I heard you won the battle?"

"Yes." Mu Bai nodded, "Does Diji know about Yan Kingdom in the south? Originally, they invaded our territory, and my subordinates led troops to drive them back."

Youyou's big eyes were flickering, and she had an expression of admiration on her face, "Uncle Mu Bai is really amazing."

Mu Bai smiled, "This subordinate brought some interesting gadgets from Tongcheng to Di Ji and the little prince, and they will send them to Di Ji later."

Youyou smiled, eyes curved, "Thank you, Uncle Mubai!" After saying that, she lightly jumped off the chair, walked to the middle and bowed to Song Qinghuan, "Queen, that Youyou won't disturb you talking about things with Uncle Mubai I'll see you later."

A gleam of light flashed in Song Qinghuan's eyes, the corners of her mouth were slightly pursed, she nodded with a smile, and asked Shen Xing to take her back to the palace first.

As soon as Youyou left, Song Qinghuan looked at Mu Bai with a half-smile, "Mubai, did You You ask you anything before you left?"

Mu Bai grinned, "Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from the young lady's eyes. Diji heard that the customs in the south are different from those in Lindu, so if it's convenient for my subordinates, bring her some gadgets back."

Song Qinghuan's eyes flashed.

She said that although Youyou is lively, she is very polite. She knows that Mu Bai came to the palace because she has something serious to tell her. Normally, she would not insist on staying. It turned out that she was thinking about Mu Bai. What about the gadgets?

I couldn't help laughing, I was still a child after all.

Shaking his head, "Youyou, she is very strange, you don't have to spoil her."

Mu Bai smiled, "It doesn't matter, it's just a matter of convenience."

Song Qinghuan nodded, retracted his thoughts, looked at Mu Bai with a slightly serious expression, and said in a deep voice, "Mubai, you have worked hard for me during this time."

Mu Bai said humbly, "These are what the subordinates should do." After a pause, the ears turned slightly red, "This subordinate entered the palace today, and came here specially to thank the young madam."

"Oh?" Song Qinghuan raised his eyebrows, with a smile that was not a smile, "What do you want to thank me for?"

"My subordinate heard from Xuan Ying that the mansion given by the young master was ordered by the young lady to buy it in advance." Mu Bai looked up at her with a grateful look on his face.

Song Qing laughed and said nothing, as if he had acquiesced to his words.

When Mu Bai wins and returns, Shen Chuhan must reward the army for his meritorious service. Mu Bai has been named a general some time ago, and with his own strength, he has won the honorable status of marrying Rong Zheng. The next thing he needs is to marry Rong Zheng Koto's mansion.

Mu Bai has been working hard by Shen Chuhan's side for many years, and she naturally has to take care of his marriage affairs, so before Mu Bai returned to Beijing, Xuan Ying was asked to buy two mansions in a suitable location in Beijing, one as Mu Bai's residence. The reward, this time it was given to him, and the other one was for Xuan Ying, who bought it directly in his own name.

Although Xuanying has been promoted to be the commander of the two guards, if he doesn't enter the palace, he sleeps in the armored guard's camp and has never had a separate residence of his own.

This time, taking this opportunity, it happened to be arranged for the two of them.

Xuanying was unwilling to accept it at first, saying that he didn't need it, Song Qing laughed at him, "You don't need it yourself, so don't tell me you won't be able to use it when you marry Liuyue in the future?" Only then did Xuanying accept Song Qinghuan's favor, Qian En Thankfully accepted.

Presumably after Mu Bai came back, Xuan Ying also told him about this matter.

Mu Bai left the table and knelt down to salute Song Qinghuan, "Young Madam's great kindness and virtue, I will never forget it."

Song Qinghuan was startled, straightened up quickly, "Get up, you have been with Ashu for so long, you have worked hard, you deserve it."

Mu Bai respectfully saluted Song Qinghuan before getting up.

"Okay, there is no need to be so polite, I want to thank you, you have already thanked me in the court yesterday."

Mu Bai smiled and sat back in his seat.

He knew in his heart that the young master had a lot of things to do every day, and he might not be able to think of such details. This matter must have been facilitated by the young lady, and he was grateful to her in his heart.

"You came back this time, haven't you had time to see Azheng?" Song Qinghuan asked again.

"I'm going to find her after leaving the palace." After a pause, she looked at Song Qinghuan with a bit of shame, "I don't know if the young lady knows, at this time, Azheng is usually in Chenxiang Pavilion, or in Rongfu?"

Earlier Rongzheng met Murong Zhuo and wanted to live back in Murong Mansion, but Murong Zhuo was suddenly sent to Chongzhou. It would be deserted for her to live alone in Murong Mansion, so she stayed in Rong Mansion for the time being.

"She should be in the Chenxiang Pavilion." Song Qinghuan said.Besides, when Mu Bai comes back, Rong Zheng will definitely wait for him to find her, since there are no idlers in Chenxiang Pavilion, it will be more convenient after all.

Mu Bai thanked him, and chatted with Song Qinghuan about the war with Yan, then he took his leave and left.

Song Qinghuan knew that he was in a hurry to see Rongzheng, so she didn't stay and asked Shen Xing to escort him out of Huaqing Palace in person.

Mu Bai left the palace and headed towards Chenxiang Pavilion.Because it was a busy city, it was inconvenient for him to ride a horse, so he went on foot.

Fortunately, Chen Xiang Pavilion was not too far from the imperial palace, and he was anxious to see Rong Zheng, so he walked very fast, and after a while, he arrived at Zhuque Street where Chen Xiang Pavilion was located.

The weather is fine today, and there are people coming and going on the street, and there are many pedestrians.

Although he changed his attire today, there were still sharp-eyed girls who recognized him, with red faces, and walked towards him shyly. Some threw the handkerchief in front of him on purpose, and some pretended to throw it on him accidentally. , and the one who directly stuffed the sachet into his arms, chirping and surrounded him.

Mu Bai used all his strength to break out of the encirclement, he didn't even have time to catch his breath, he quickly hid in the side alley.

Fortunately, the streets and alleys of Lindu extend in all directions, and he is very familiar with the terrain of Lindu, so he arrived at the alley not far from Chenxiang Pavilion after making several turns.

He poked his head out and saw that there were not many young girls around, so he breathed a sigh of relief, straightened his messy clothes, and walked out of the alley.

Looking up, he could see the familiar signboard of Chenxiang Pavilion not far away. He suppressed his beating heart, quickened his pace, and walked towards the shop.

Unexpectedly, before walking a few steps, a woman's Qingyue voice came from behind, "Mubai?"

He frowned, thinking that he had run into another girl who was "sinning" him, and was about to run away with oil on his feet, when he suddenly noticed something was wrong.

Those girls who showed affection to him all called him "General Chu", but the people behind him called him Mu Bai, and the words seemed familiar.

He couldn't help but stop, and turned his head to look back.

After seeing the person behind him clearly, he was startled for a moment, and hesitantly said, "Chang...Chang Di Ji?"
