Chapter 389 Visit
After receiving the news, the shogunate officials and garrison generals went out of the city three miles to greet them.
Shao Xun dismounted from a distance, smiled and patiently chatted with them.
“Chen Gongyi was fierce enough to become Gao, he killed the bandit Gao Ping, and he was strategizing. He is truly the best Han Bai in the world.” Someone came up and praised him.
Shao Xun took a closer look and saw that this was not Zuo Sima Pei Shao, so he replied: "That's too much praise. You can stick to Jiyang and face the thieves head-on, which is also a great achievement."
" Ming Gong first marched to Luoyang to show off the rivers and mountains, and then fought in the important city to annihilate Jue Chou and other such things. The people of Yanzhou felt and remembered them. "
"Without Yang Zhong's many plans, Kaocheng would not have been possible. It's so stable." Shao Xun took Pan Tao's hand and said.
Pan Tao is undoubtedly an egoist, a very refined kind.
Shao Xun still appreciates his affection.
Pan Tao persuaded him to gather the refugees and build Wubao, which was the beginning of his hegemony.
To put it bluntly, without the support of these private soldiers, Sima Yue, the late emperor, would have dared to attack him.
It was Pan Tao's advice that made him determined to take advantage of the favorable opportunity of Luoyang's power vacuum to establish his own private military system.
"Ming Gong sailed the boat and crossed the river..."
One after another, the shogunate officials came forward and praised him for free.
Shao Xun was in a hurry to enter the city, but later he was a little perfunctory.
After finally finishing his words, he entered the city surrounded by his own soldiers and paid homage to the dowager.
As for Sima Pi, he has moved to the Zhenjun General's Mansion outside the city to officially take charge of affairs, because the concubine is "sick".
When he arrived near the house, Pei Shiliu was already waiting at the door from a distance.
Shao Xun walked a few steps quickly and asked in a low voice: "What happened?"
"The concubine was a little sleepy in the afternoon, so she fell asleep." Pei Shiliu said.
"How is your appetite these days?"
"Better than some time ago."
The two of them talked and walked.
The soldiers dispersed the crowds at the front, preventing unknown people from approaching.
Shao Xun frowned, called Cai Cheng, and asked him to take the people away. Just leave a few sentries in the backyard, and be gentle with your hands and feet, so as not to disturb the sick concubine.
Cai Cheng took the order and left.
When they arrived outside Concubine Pei's bedroom, the maids dispersed one after another, leaving only Mrs. Liu waiting there.
Shao Xun nodded to her.
Ms. Liu showed no expression on his face and left without any courtesy.
Shao Xun took her hand.
Ms. Liu's heart trembled, and she even panicked.
She tried hard to recall her attitude when she faced him last time, so she turned her head and looked at him. Xuan You felt something was wrong in his eyes, so he forced himself to brew up emotions of hatred and indifference, and looked at Shao Xun coldly.
Shao Xun looked at her and said sincerely: "Thank you for your hard work during this period."
After saying that, he entered the bedroom.
Ms. Liu was stunned.
Emotions such as embarrassment and regret surged up in an instant, and there was even a trace of inexplicable grievance and comfort after being affirmed.
She left in a panic, not daring to look back at that person.
After entering the bedroom, Shao Xun immediately saw Concubine Pei lying on her side on the couch.
The breath is long and peaceful.
There was a little worry on his face, and even when he fell asleep, his brows were slightly frowned.
He was covered with a thin quilt. There should be a slightly bulging belly under the quilt, but unfortunately I can't see clearly.
Shao Xun sat on the bedside and looked at her quietly.
It seems that more than nine years ago, Hua Nu was still an elegant and lonely Princess of the East China Sea. She was smart and had already seen the troubled times in the next few years.
At that time, she probably just wanted to subconsciously grasp something and cultivate something so that she would have a team of guards who could handle the chaos in the future.
Amidst the curls of tea smoke, the young man who prostrated himself in front of her kept glancing at her secretly, attracted by his appearance and temperament.
So much has happened in nine years.
She delivered many messages for him.
She took out her dowry and used it to build a fort.
When Luoyang was experiencing internal and external troubles, they supported each other in Jinyong City.
She was furious at being scolded by her father. He returned from an expedition to Hebei and quietly gave her a gift.
Every year on Zhengdan, when the shogunate scholars gathered together, she skillfully guided the conversation and eliminated a lot of unnecessary trouble for him.
After Sima Yue died of illness, she took the initiative to stand up, win over Sima Que and the generals of the shogunate, barely squeezed the shogunate, and then handed it over to him.
When the Huns invaded, she stood firm in Kaocheng and inspired people. She took her servants and maids to carry water and meals for the soldiers, sewed their shirts, and stabilized the situation.
She is now several months pregnant and has given birth to a child for him.
Shao Xun stretched out his hand and gently smoothed the sorrow between Concubine Pei's brows.
Concubine Pei opened her eyes, and when she saw Shao Xun sitting in front of him, there was no exaggerated surprise, only a quiet smile: "Are you back?"
"Back."
"Go and wash up." Concubine Pei said.
Shao Xun looked at himself, smiled to himself, and said: "I am anxious to see you."
"I know."
Shao Xun stood up and left the bedroom.
The soldiers quickly boiled the water, and Shao Xun sat comfortably in the tub.
Going to war is like this.
In the sun and rain, climbing on ice and lying in snow, the limelight is like a knife.
It is common not to take a shower for a long time. How can you look handsome? The image of a little fresh meat general does not even exist. Mrs. Liu brought over a set of robes and placed them on the case.
“Wait a minute.” Shao Xun called out to Ms. Liu who was about to turn around and leave.
Ms. Liu shuddered and her heart started beating loudly.
She felt that she should be angry, but after brewing for a long time, she could not bring up too many such emotions.
She forced herself to imagine the night when Shao Xun raped her, and it had some effect, and her hatred gradually grew.
But after a while, her daughter's lovely face appeared in front of her, and the hatred was eliminated over and over again.
She bit her lip, trying not to think about her daughter, but imagining the scene when Shao Xun ravaged her.
But the scene quickly shifted away, and at that dawn, a scene emerged of Shao Xun riding his horse on a high hill, and the whole city's soldiers and civilians cheering enthusiastically.
One is Taibai Xing who came down from the sky to save her, and the other is the villain who forcibly insulted her. The scenes gradually merged, and Mrs. Liu felt weak all over her body and her legs were a little weak.
"There is a box on the desk over there. Open it and take a look." Shao Xun's voice came.
Ms. Liu suddenly woke up. She didn't dare to look back. After finding the box, she opened it and was slightly surprised.
"Shi Le used the silk from Gaotang to give rewards to the army." Shao Xun said, "These pieces look good and should be more valuable, so I give them to you."
Ms. Liu gently stroked the silk fabric.
She couldn't explain her feelings clearly. They were happy, sad, and sad. All in all, they were very complicated.
In the end, there is only one sentence: "Thank you."
He also knew that he was from the Liu family in Pingyuan? Does he know that he has lived in Gaotang since he was a child?
"That's right. I've worked hard on you during this period, and I'll need you to help take care of Hua Nu in the future." Shao Xun said casually.
I don’t know why, but the joy that just emerged in Liu’s heart dissipated.
She picked up the silk fabric, barely bowed, and left in a hurry.
She walked very fast, and there was still some greasy residue between her legs, which made her face burn and she felt ashamed.
There seemed to be some undue resentment. She was confused and frightened, so she could only escape.
Shao Xun didn't pay too much attention to her mood. He just felt that she was acting awkwardly and a little strange.
After drying his body, he put on his robe and went to the bedroom.
Take off your shoes, get on the couch, lift the quilt, and carefully hold Concubine Pei in your arms.
"When will you return to Xuchang?" Concubine Pei put her head in his arms and asked.
"I won't come back." Shao Xun gently touched her belly and said.
He already has three children, but this child is different, really different.
“You’ve become the governor, so you can’t talk properly?” Concubine Pei said angrily.
"Cai Cheng." Shao Xun shouted loudly.
“Here.” Cai Cheng’s voice came from the window.
"Send the order and the army will camp."
"No."
After giving the order, Shao Xun looked at Concubine Pei.
“Hunjun!” Concubine Pei chuckled.
“In order to make Pomeranians happy, what can’t I do?” Shao Xun said with a smile.
Concubine Pei covered his mouth and said: "It's okay to say this only between the boudoir, but I'm afraid you will get carried away outside and let the news slip. You are not allowed to talk nonsense in the future."
"Okay, Everyone listens to you." Shao Xun followed the good advice.
Concubine Pei lay quietly in his arms and stopped talking.
Shao Xun gently stroked her back.
Last time Concubine Pei said, "I am also a woman." Since then, he has realized that even the most powerful regent mother has emotional needs, and when she is vulnerable, sometimes she even needs to be like Just like coaxing an ignorant little woman, providing emotional value.
How can a yellow-haired person not understand this?
What's more, pregnant women are more emotionally unstable and need more tenderness.
"You can leave at the end of the month." After a long time, Concubine Pei said: "It's been a long time, I'm afraid it will cause criticism."
"What about you?"
" I will stay in Kaocheng." Concubine Pei said, "Besides, I don't like going to Xuchang either."
Shao Xun kissed her and hugged her a little harder.
Concubine Pei raised her head, looked into his eyes, and said, "Now do you know the disadvantages of messing with women randomly?"
Shao Xun smiled awkwardly.
I wanted to make some nonsense, saying that it is a male's instinct to spread genes to more female animals, but when I saw the look in Concubine Pei's eyes, I could only pretend to be stupid.
"If I end up, all the women in your family will..." Concubine Pei pinched Shao Xun lightly.
Shao Xun suddenly felt lucky.
Fortunately, Concubine Pei is his mistress. Due to her status, she cannot have too many inappropriate thoughts, otherwise it will be really troublesome.
"In recent days, there may have been rumors outside. My son has come to visit several times, but I haven't seen him. I sent him away, but he must have suspicions." Concubine Pei added. : "It's fortunate that you defeated the Huns, otherwise, I don't know how to deal with the situation."
Thinking of this, she sighed.
After all, there is a gap of identity between the two.
"There will be a way." Shao Xun said: "When I wipe out the northern princes, who will dare to make irresponsible remarks?"
"Then you have to hurry up, I am thirty-one this year He's going to be old." Concubine Pei's mood gradually improved.
Shao Xun looked at the sky.
In this life, it seems that I am really working for these women.
But, is it a loss? Shao Xun lowered his head and looked at his mistress in his arms. It seemed that she was not losing anything. That was enough!
Furthermore, I am doing this for the people of the world.
The pattern, the pattern, this is the pattern of my yellow hair.
