Chapter 563

After the snow, the sun shines on the snow, reflecting a dazzling light.

Wearing heavy fur, Qin mubai came out of the yurt, stretched his arms, stretched his waist, and then said with a loud smile, "the snow has finally stopped. It's fine!"

Xuelian also came out, saw the dazzling sunshine outside, narrowed her eyes, and said with a smile, "it's really sunny!"

"The snow scene on the prairie is really wonderful!" Qin mubai looked around and sighed.

"In your opinion, this is an unparalleled beauty, but for people on the grassland, it may be a disaster." Xuelian said, "if it snows for a few more days, a large number of livestock will be frozen to death, and the time of grassland supply will be delayed."

"Doesn't it stop?" Qin Mu Bai smiles and looks back at her, "Xuelian, the snow has stopped melting. We are going to leave for the western regions. Are you willing? "

Xuelian squinted at the boundless grassland and said in a soft voice, "if you can't say you can't give up, you're deceiving yourself. I was born and raised here, and I have my people, relatives and friends. But you and your family came to the grassland and stayed with me for more than three months. I'm quite content. "

Qin mubai smiles. "If you don't want to, just stay for another month or two."

"No good?" Although Xuelian was happy, she was also worried, "doesn't it mean that Princess Gaoyang may be waiting for us in Gaochang? It's not good to keep her waiting too long. Besides, don't you have to hurry back to samojian, the new moon queen is about to be born

Qin mubai patted his skull, "almost forgot!"

"Look at you. So careless. " Snow lotus shakes her head and laughs, "and you've fattened up recently."

"Is it?" Qin Mu Bai grinned, "is that more handsome?"

Xuelian giggled and blushed. She said in a low voice, "I don't know if I'm handsome. I only know You're getting worse. "

"Cough!..." Keep a low profile Qin Mu Bai looked around. Fortunately, no one else eavesdropping, so swaggered forward, but one foot was trapped in the deep snow, the whole person was short, and almost fell down.

"What a deep snow!"

Xuelian giggled happily, "I told you to be lazy. I didn't clean the snow in front of my house for several days. Now I can't get out of the house!"

"Oh! I'm proud of What, do you need to clean the snow in front of the door Qin Mu Bai is very discontented of call a way.

"What is it?" Xuelian said with a smile, "now you are just a piece of cloth. What kind of airs do you have! ——Take it, shovel the snow

Qin mubai took the spade thrown by Xuelian and laughed, "a man is a man who can bend and stretch! Shovel, shovel

Xuelian stands at the gate of the yurt tent, quietly watching Qin mubai throw away his arms and throw snow pieces, with a gentle and sweet smile on her face.

"Mubai, I'm really happy to see you like this I hope you can be so relaxed and happy all your life

Fluttering a few times, Qin mubai got hot and took off his heavy fur. Is busy, in front of two people on the thick snow hobbled, far away in the cry: "ouch drink! Marshal Qin shovels snow himself! It's so strange

It's Li Ji and Xue Rengui.

Qin mubai put the snow shovel on the ground, clapped his hands and laughed: "madam, you have a life, you dare not follow me! She thinks I'm getting fat, so she reformed me to lose weight! "

"If a man is a big man, isn't he richer and more generous?" Li Ji came forward with a smile and said to Xuelian, "little nephew daughter-in-law, I have to teach you a lesson. We people in the Tang Dynasty all regard abundance as beauty. Mubai is now such a beautiful man

Xuelian giggled, "uncle, don't listen to his nonsense. How dare I dislike him? I don't have any job to do with him!"

Qin mubai came forward with a smile, "Xuelian, go to warm two pots of milk wine and prepare some dried fruit. I want to sit down with my uncle and Rengui and have a good drink. I haven't been with them for quite a few days. "

The four of them entered Qin mubai's big felt tent, which was very spacious and was still the layout of the bridal chamber. It's very warm and comfortable to have two fires burning.

Xuelian goes to settle down for drinks. They take off their thick fur and snow stained boots and sit in front of the fire to chat.

"Mubai, actually today, Rengui and I are here to say goodbye to you." Li Ji rubbed his hands and said, "the imperial court ordered us to lead our troops back to Beijing. Ben started a month ago. Unexpectedly, heavy snow hindered his journey and has been delayed so far. "

"Lead the army back to Beijing?" Qin mubai thought a little and then said with a smile, "are you going to use troops again in the Tang Dynasty?"

"It wasn't mentioned in the transfer order of the Ministry of war. But I guess that it is more likely to use troops in Liaodong. " Li Ji said, "as early as a few months ago, I heard that the situation in Liaodong was tense. Recently, Koguryo's power minister Quan Gai Suwen killed the king and took over the military and political power. He may send troops to attack Baiji at any time. Baiji is just a small country. If the Tang Dynasty is not saved, it will be broken sooner or later. As soon as baiji is destroyed, the balance on the Korean Peninsula will be broken, leaving only the Koguryo family to dominate, and Silla will surely become a puppet to him. In this way, Koguryo will pose a great border threat to Datang. "Xue Rengui said: "mubai, I have been discussing this matter with the Duke of England for several days. Xue also thinks that this time, the Tang Dynasty will not sit idly by and watch Koguryo perish, but will send troops Why don't you come back! "

Qin Mu Bai smiles but does not speak.

Xue Rengui sighed and said, "well, I'm just saying it casually. After returning to Beijing this time, if Datang really sent troops to Liaodong, I will go out with the army. I just hope that we brothers who live and die together can fight together again! "

"Rengui, actually I want to go to Liaodong with you." Qin Mu Bai said with a slight smile, "but I can't go either in terms of the overall situation of the court or the diplomatic relations. I won't say much about the affairs in the court. Now that the western regions have been decided, the governors who are in charge of different places used to be my subordinates. If I don't go to the western regions, the imperial court won't be at ease, and the governors will be at a loss. If the imperial court is uneasy and the feudal officials are uneasy, the western regions will be in chaos and Dashi will take the opportunity to invade. In this way, all our previous efforts are in vain So, even though I'm in office. I still want to go to the western regions and stay in the western regions. It should be a reassuring pill for everyone. "

"Mubai finally told the truth." Li Ji laughs, "I knew you wouldn't be selfish. I have also considered the issues you just mentioned. Therefore, I do not force you to return to the DPRK. As long as you are in the western regions, whether you are a feudal official or a white body, you can make the western regions stable. People's hearts and prestige. It is the most irreplaceable that can not be seen or touched. Now it is not proper for the imperial court to send anyone to take charge of the western regions, including Li Ji. Maybe Su dingfang is a good candidate, but how can his reputation and prestige compare with you? Perhaps those military commanders and governors would listen to him, but the monarchs, ministers and people of the western regions. But it may not buy him. The Tang Dynasty has just pacified the western regions. When it comes to ruling the people and attacking the mind, military control alone can't control it. There must be a backbone in it. So, I'd like you to go to the western regions! "

"I see..." Xue Rengui suddenly nodded, "Xue is still shallow, did not go to this depth."

"You don't have to belittle yourself. You can't think of this layer. It's because you're not standing high enough, it's not because you're shallow and ignorant. " Li Ji said with a deep smile, "if you come to our position in time, you will definitely see higher and think further than us."

"How Can Xue be virtuous?" Xue Rengui laughed with shame.

Qin mubai also laughed and said: "in fact, I quit my post, but I just don't want to go back to the court to fight for power and profit. Nothing else. Chang sun Wuji has always supported my political views, and I indirectly killed his son. How can he tolerate me? If I go back to the court, I will have to face him head to head and stir up party strife. If I don't go back to the court, the court will be more peaceful and the king of Wu will have less worries. think it over and over again. The western regions are my best destination. It is of great benefit to me, to the king of Wu, to the officers and men of the Western Shaanxi army, to the imperial court, and to the Tang Dynasty. "

Li Ji said with a smile, "mubai, your insight is always better than ours! I affirm that if you go back to the imperial court, you will become a prime minister, and no one will be able to reach you. Even if you go to the western regions, you will be the king without a crown. There is an emperor in the court. How could he not have thought of these twists and turns? So, mubai, now you are not only able to enjoy a good ending, but also will always serve as the Western Great Wall of the Tang Dynasty, holding and guarding that half of the country! "

Xue Rengui blinked his eyes and said, "if one day the Tang Dynasty has internal and external troubles, as long as mubai is still in the western regions. You can help at any time It seems that it's really good! "

"You look up to me so much." Qin mubai said with a smile, "as the saying goes, if a Taoist goes to the tea cooler, he is not in his position and does not plan for his affairs. I went to the western regions, only to be my rich man. I want to open restaurants, do business and run schools. I want to be a real teacher! "

"What?" Xue Rengui and Li Ji were stunned.

"Ha ha. Yes, I've made it very clear! " Qin mubai said with a smile, "I want to teach something that no one has ever taught!"

"What is it?"

"Analogy mathematics, chemistry and so on I don't know for a moment. " Qin mubai said with a smile, "wait. In ten or twenty years, there may be my students among the envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty by the military state of Dazhao. They will spread my knowledge to the Tang Dynasty, and let the natural science of the Tang Dynasty begin to sprout and develop."

"What is "Natural science?" Li Ji and Xue Rengui became more and more confused.

"Ha ha! I really don't know. " Qin mubai said with a smile, "anyway, you should remember my words first. In the future, we'll wait and see!"

Li Ji and Xue Rengui face each other, and then said: "mubai. You are the same father and mother as us, eating the same rice and drinking the same water. Why are you so unpredictable that we can't understand you completely? "

Qin mubai clapped his hands and said with a smile: "to tell you the truth, I'm from more than a thousand years later!"

"Bullshit

"Who believes that?"

……

Twenty days later, the snow was almost melting, and Li Ji and Xue Rengui led 200000 main forces in Bingzhou. Prepare to go back to Beijing.Qin mubai specially came to see Li and Xue off on horseback.

"Qin Sanlang!" Li Ji said with a loud smile, "your father is a hero of the world, who has been in charge of all his life. He is open and aboveboard, and his righteousness is boundless. No one in the world does not respect him! But I dare say that he has done the most beautiful thing in his life. You're a good son

Qin mubai arched back and said with a smile: "uncle, I don't know when we will meet. Please take care of yourself!"

"I will." Li Ji nodded with a smile, "mubai, no matter whether you are an official or a rank official, half of the western regions of the Tang Dynasty. How much trouble do you have to take

Qin mubai said to Xue Rengui again with a smile: "Rengui, don't just focus on fighting. Xiyan went to the Central Plains with you. If you have time, you should take her around. In my life, when the plants shine, I will cherish what I should cherish. "

Xue Rengui started to gaze at Qin mubai for a long time. Suddenly he turned over and got off his horse. He knelt down on the snow covered grass. "Xue Li, goodbye, third brother!"

"What are you doing, Rengui?" Qin mubai jumped down quickly and came to help him, but he saw that Xue Rengui was in tears and choked.

"Rengui Don't be so sad. " Qin mubai also touched his heart.

"When he left, Xue thought of the past." With tears in his eyes, Xue Rengui clenched Qin mubai's arm and said, "at the beginning, Xue was just a man shooting geese in cold mountain, and it was hard to keep food and clothing. It was the third brother who brought me to Chang'an and spared no effort to take care of Xue. Xue is incompetent, even your father failed to take care of them. Xue was so guilty that he wanted to die early to make amends!... "

"Stop it." Qin mubai interrupted him. He said in a soft voice: "benevolence, you and my brother, though not born, are better than born. My father is your father. You and I are generally sad. Why do you have to be so sad? ——Don't worry about it any more. In the future, you will replace me Help your Highness the king of Wu

"Xue Do you dare to work hard. After death Xue Rengui burst into tears and kowtowed.

Seeing this, Li Ji shook his head and sighed, and his eyes were a little red. Many Tang soldiers nearby could not help but quietly wipe their tears.

"Get up!" Qin mubai pulled Xue Rengui up and patted him heavily on the shoulder, "brother, it's a matter of life! Even if separated, the heart is together, that's enough! "

"Well, we agreed, for life!" Xue Rengui takes a deep breath, smiles on his face and reaches out his hand.

Qin mubai clapped his hand and held it tightly with him, "good brother!"
