Chapter 374

Two days later, the Ministry of war wrote a letter to Qin mubai, and sent him 10000 elite cavalry, grain and equipment. Fang Xuanling said that the movement of the Ministry of war is fairly fast. After all, the money and food of the army are ready-made and only need to be used. However, the movement of the Ministry of household and Zongzheng temple is not fast. The dowry distributed to Princess Wencheng is numerous and complicated, and it is difficult to be ready in ten and a half days.

In addition, the speed of the procession of seeing off relatives was too slow. Qin mubai was afraid of delaying the military situation, so he was ready to start first, leaving one or two thousand cavalry to Su dingfang, and then escorting Li daozong and his daughter all the way.

Ten thousand elite cavalry in Guandong are not few. But for Lanzhou, in the face of such a big battle, it seems a bit petty. However, Qin mubai didn't intend to make do with it. He had to go to the army to select these ten thousand cavalry. He had to keep improving.

So he spent another three days, together with Su dingfang, in the recruitment of the field army and the Imperial Army in Chang'an. Among the sixteen guards, many of the generals from Baiqi, the "higher military academy", are still students of Qin mubai, the old headmaster, so it is quite convenient.

A few days later, Qin mubai was very strict in selecting 10000 elite Yue Qi, which made many 16 guards' Generals feel painful for a while, and only picked out the most powerful group of soldiers in their army. In addition, Qin mubai was not polite to Fang Xuanling. He asked for weapons, equipment, horses and vehicles. In addition. The imperial court promised Qin mubai 100 cavalry guards as personal guards, which is the most satisfactory place for him.

When he came to Baiqi camp, Qin mubai waved his arm and almost all the soldiers in the camp were willing to go to Lanzhou with him. All the people in the Tang Dynasty advocated martial arts, and the imperial court attached great importance to military achievements. People who were soldiers had to fight in order to be born. So the selection of these 100 people was a headache for Qin mubai. Because many of the people who live in Baiqi have family background, many people come to the back door to intercede with Qin mubai and ask him to take his nephew to the front line. Among them, there are six ministers and senior generals in the army.

At this time, it is a good opportunity to make human relations and network contacts. Qin mubai is on the premise of not breaking the principle. They all agreed to go through the back door. Of course, the most basic prerequisite is that the quality of Bai Qi should not be poor. In addition, the original 30 hundred riders, who had lost Zhao Tong's arms and those who died in the attack on Fang Yiai that day, were left with more than 20 people. They became the core and elder members of this group. With the old leading the new, these people can easily unite.

Within a few days, Qin mubai was very busy. In the military camp and Baiqi camp outside Chang'an City, as well as the cabinet of the Ministry of war, there was no time to accompany Princess Wu Meiniang and her family. At last, Qin mubai was ready to leave tomorrow. Before leaving, we have to ask Su dingfang to go to Jiangxia palace together and say it.

So that night, Qin mubai and Su dingfang visited Jiangxia palace.

The Royal Palace was also very busy. Many officials and people sent by the imperial court ordered the dowry they were going to bring to the wedding. Qin Mu Bai glanced at it in a hurry and gaped. The huge backyard of the palace is almost full of cars, and each car is full of things and heavy parcels. It's only half of the time, and it doesn't include the craftsmen and musicians who are going to go to Tubo to marry with. If they really get together, it's estimated that they won't lose their momentum to the army of ten thousand people!

"No wonder Fang Xuanling said that he was not ready for the moment. It would take half a month to say at least." Qin Mu Bai shook his head. "If you want to marry a daughter, you have to pay for so much manpower and material resources. It's enough to decorate a palace."

"Probably." Su dingfang seldom expressed such opinions. He gently shook his head and said, "from ancient times to modern times, but we are the ones who lose money when we get married. No matter how many years of peace we have to go to war. This reminds me of the behavior of those villagers when they faced the mountain bandits in the chaos of war. What's the difference between us and spending money to eliminate disasters? "

"The Confucianists have the ideas of the Confucianists, and the soldiers have the ideas of the soldiers. I'm afraid we'll never think of them together." Qin mubai picked the corner of his mouth, shook his head and sighed, "it's all right. This is the end of the matter. Go and see the Lord first. "

"Well, good."

The two were led by the officials to pierce the ridge in the mansion for a while. They were all busy servants grinding their shoulders one after another. Only one courtyard was quiet, so the officials led them here.

"Two generals, this is my princess's boudoir. The Lord is in her boudoir. Please help yourself." The official said goodbye and left.

They walked into the courtyard and heard the melodious sound of pipa.

Qin Mu Bai listened to a few notes and could not help but feel a movement in his heart: it's a familiar tune. Although it's a little strange and intermittent, it can be vaguely recognized that it's "Lanzhou Hong"!

So Qin mubai asked Su dingfang to stop and listen. Although the tune was a little strange, it was not smooth or excellent, Qin Mu Bai vaguely heard a trace of sadness from the tune.

Lanzhou hongben is a sad and desolate tune. It's not surprising that there is such a tune meaning. But it's not easy to pop up that kind of touching sadness, instead of saying it for the sake of new words. Only if there is something in this person's heart that comes from the bone marrow and can't express his sorrow and sorrow, can it be possible to play music with his heart."What a sad tune People unconsciously think of the sad things in the past. " Su dingfang listened for a moment and said in a soft voice, "could it be the princess?"

Just then, the sound of Pipa stopped in the room, and a female voice said, "father, why can't I play this song well?"

"You've only heard it twice in Zhongnan mountain. It's good to play like this." It was Li daozong's voice, strong and vigorous, but now he was tired and lost. He said, "if you want music score, I'll go to him and say it. Why are you so tangled?"

"No more..." The girl said, "I heard him swear that day that he would never play again."

"Just a score. What's the point?"

"Father, you don't understand." The female voice said, "for a person who likes music, a bosom friend is very important, just like a soul mate. When the confidant leaves, music will also lose its meaning to him, or only mean sadness. The father went to him to ask for the music score, and naturally he would give it to him. But I don't want to force him or touch his heart. Lanzhou Hong belongs to both of them. I can't offend his sacred bosom friend. "

Li daozong had no choice but to smile: "OK. up to you! That's all you have for a little girl. Yan'er, in the end, you are going to marry to Tubo. Do you really... "

"Father, you don't have to say that." Li Xueyan interrupted Li daozong and said, "at first, I was brave enough to marry Tubo. No one forced me. By now, it's done, and my daughter has no regrets. I'm afraid I can't be filial to my parents in this life. "

"I can't figure out why you have to marry the barbarian who abandoned the clan and praised him?" Li daozong was a little angry and snorted, "can't I choose a man suitable for you to be my husband in the great Tang Dynasty? I don't believe it

"Not so, father..." Li Xueyan's voice dropped a little, showing a lot of sadness.

"Well, that's it. I won't talk about you as a father." Li daozong sighed and said, "your mother is so sad that she is ill. You can spend more time with her these days. Ah

"Why should father sigh?" Li Xueyan, in turn, advised Li daozong and whispered, "it's a good story that my daughter will be able to marry Tubo. If we can exchange decades of peace between the two countries and give enlightenment on the plateau, our daughter will have done something useful in her life. Tubo people are also human beings. They have no choice when they are born into their parents' womb. It's not their fault, and their father doesn't have to look down upon them. In fact, as long as they can accept civilization, they are also amiable and lovely. "

"Well, I can't say you." Li daozong said, "every time you take your father as an example to teach theory, it seems that our father and daughter are in a different generation! ——You also sigh oneself life thin, how can not meet him earlier

Li daozong's careless words stunned Qin mubai and Su dingfang in the courtyard at the same time. Su dingfang then shook his head and laughed and said in a soft voice: "mubai, you are so merciful everywhere!"

"Ah? How can I have That's it. Leave me alone

"Who do you think the Lord will say?"

"In a word, it can't be me! I've only met the princess two or three times, and I haven't said a few words! "

"This is what the little girls are thinking. They just like to fall in love at first sight. What can you do?"

“……” Qin mubai was speechless and thought, "what's wrong with peach blossom again?" Again?

"Who is in the hospital?" Li daozong's honest voice rang out, and then opened the door.

The two quickly went forward and bowed their hands: "it's a sin to disturb the Lord!"

"Oh, it's you brothers!" Li daozong said with a smile, "family members are rude. Please don't blame me for not reporting. Please come in and have a seat

"This is the princess's boudoir. I'd better not go in." Qin mubai said with a smile, "I have nothing else to do when I come here. I just want to inform Wang Ye that the military situation is urgent. I'm going to lead the army to go first tomorrow. I'll ask my elder martial brother to escort Wang Ye and his daughter to Lanzhou, and then Qin will greet them in Lanzhou."

"Good." Li daozong nodded and said. "All of you are here. Come in and sit down! I'm not pedantic. I don't have so many rules at home. Yan'er is always hospitable. If you don't enter, she'll blame me for not being hospitable. "

"So I'm sorry to disturb you

Qin mubai and Su Ding conveniently follow Li daozong into the room. Li Xueyan has put away the pipa, prepared the incense table, and is cooking tea on the fire in response to the reception. When Qin mubai went in. After meeting her eyes for a moment, she saw a little bit of confusion in her eyes and a little bit of redness on her face. However, she soon returned to normal and acted gracefully.

Qin mubai is a veteran in love, no matter in the past or in the present. How can this kind of young girl feelings escape his eyes? After this startling glance, Qin mubai sighed in his heart: evil! I didn't mean to seduce you. What's the matter with you? You've already promised a man Well, I'm very disgusted with this marriage. In a word, you are still Li daozong's daughter. It makes me feel uncomfortable!Li daozong's eyes were just like hawk Falcon's. seeing Qin mubai's expression, he could not help but smile and said, "mubai, what are you thinking?"

"Nothing." Qin mubai chuckled and naturally covered up the past. He said, "I'm thinking that it's a pity that a good daughter like Wang Ye will marry a barbarian."

"Oh, you naughty little thing!" Li daozong laughed and said, "do you have any plans for my wild geese?"

"Ah?" Qin mubai was stunned.

Su Ding was drinking tea, his hands shaking and his mouth tightening. Almost no tea came out!

Li Xueyan is immediately blushed to the neck root son, flustered way: "father, how do you so mouth without block?"

"Ha ha!" Li daozong laughed more loudly, sat on Pu Tan and patted his knees and said in a loud voice, "it's not normal for young men to love women? It is more reasonable that heroes love beauty and beauties admire heroes. You're allowed to do it, but I'm not allowed to say it? That's true

Li Xueyan was so embarrassed that she could hardly squeeze water out of her face.

Qin mubai was also unable to laugh or cry. He shook his head and said, "Lord. No matter how you make fun of me. Why take the princess? What can we do? You can't say it. You're just chasing after the wind. "

"Ha ha! I'm just joking. Don't take it seriously. " Li daozong said with a smile, "ah, I'd rather you and Yan'er love each other and spoil the brown emperor's marriage! However, since the matter has come to this point, the state affairs are very important, and the king can't abolish the public for personal reasons, so he often tosses and turns in the middle of the night. What a pain! ——Who wants his daughter to marry in a wild land thousands of miles away? "

"Father, you don't think it's because of your daughter that you have been advocating the use of troops against Tubo, do you?" Li Xueyan said suddenly.

"Nonsense! Is being a father such a selfish and narrow-minded person? " Li daozong gave a light drink and said, "if it is because of this, how can I promise to let people marry Tibetan from high? What's more, now that the court has made a decision to give you up and prepare a dowry for your father without saying a word? You are my daughter, who has inherited my temperament. I know that. But parents would rather suffer themselves than their children You won't understand this mood for the time being! "

"Father, my daughter is wrong..." Li Xueyan lowered her head and said in shame.

"Pity the parents all over the world." Qin mubai said, "Wang Ye is an open and aboveboard hero. He has done a lot and paid a lot for the Tang Dynasty. At this time, the princess's marriage to Tubo is like gouging out a piece of your heart. This kind of mind and measurement. It's admirable

"OK, don't flatter me!" Li daozong put his hand and said with a bitter smile, "if I had known that there would be today, I would have preferred to make Yaner a son!"

"Father, what are you saying?" Li Xueyan said angrily, "daughter The daughter is really not as good as the man? "

"Ha ha, princess, you have wronged the Lord." Qin mubai said. "The meaning of Wang Ye is that you don't want to leave him. It's not that you prefer boys to girls."

"Yan'er, after all, you are still young and don't understand many things." Li daozong said with emotion, "maybe you won't understand these things until you become a wife and a mother. A thousand days at home is better than a day out. When you get to Tubo, you will miss your family and homeland. "

"Father, I understand what you say." Li Xueyan nodded. Seriously, she said, "my daughter went to Tubo not for fun or willfulness, but to realize the ideal in my heart. Just like my father, how can I die for the sake of the Tang Dynasty, and how can my daughter spend her whole life spreading enlightenment in the wilderness of the plateau? "

All three men were silent. What the young woman said was as penetrating as a sword.

After chatting for a while, Qin mubai and Su Ding are ready to leave. It's time to leave. Qin mubai asked Li daozong to borrow the four treasures of his study. He wrote and drew for a while in a study next door. He took out several pieces of paper and gave them to Li daozong.

Li daozong took a look and was surprised to say: "the score of Lanzhou Hong? Well, there is another song "when will the moon come" with lyrics? Mubai, Wang hongben of Lanzhou knows that when did you create this song That's a good sentence! "

"Take it as it is!" Qin mubai said with a smile, "lanzhouhong is the work of Yaoer, but it doesn't belong to her alone. As long as people like it, they can learn and practice. If it can be handed down is not a bad thing, I hope more people will remember the demon. In addition, this song of when the moon, except for me, no one in the world has heard, no one can play and sing. Take it as my wedding gift to the princess. One day the princess is far away from home. If you miss your family and hometown, just listen to it. "

"Here you are, Yaner." Li daozong handed these pieces of paper to Li Xueyan and said, "it seems that Qin mubai is not as small as you think!"

"Thank you very much..." Li Xueyan took the note and said thanks in a soft voice. However, her expression was somewhat unnatural. She lowered her eyebrow and followed the purpose, with a little sadness in her embarrassment.

Qin mubai and Su dingfang left.Li Xueyan held those pieces of paper in her hand and sighed: "father. Whether it's Lanzhou Hong or the moon song, it's the most beautiful song in the world. It's a great honor for her daughter to receive Qin mubai's music score. It's just I'm afraid I won't hear him playing for music in my life. "

"Nine times out of ten, life doesn't go well." Li daozong stood at the door with his hands on his back, looked up at the sky, sighed and said. "You choose your own life, no one can help you."

"Ah At this time, Li Xueyan suddenly exclaimed.

"What's the matter?"

"Qin Mu gave me the score for nothing. Did you hear what we just talked about?" Li Xueyan touched the hot and red face with both hands and said with wide eyes.

"What's the matter with that?" Li daozong said with disapproval, "if you are willing to marry Qin mubai now, as long as he is willing to marry him, my king will fight for his fame and family life, and will immediately complete you - no matter what Tubo Zanpu he is!"

“……” Li Xueyan completely speechless, holding that piece of paper, initiated to stay.
