Chapter 1365 Husband and wife, father and son

The waves continue to hit the coast, splashing up waves.

A curtain was set up along the coast to enclose an area.

The officials from the three provinces and nine temples who accompanied the emperor wanted to speak but hesitated, but dared not say anything. In the end, Yang Man, the most senior official present, waved his hand, and everyone scattered, going to the tents far away to drink tea and chat.

Behind the veil, the concubines wore tunics on top and pleated trousers on the bottom, but they were closed-crotch trousers, not the open-crotch trousers that many men and women wore in their daily lives.

The pleated trouser legs are shorter, only a little below the knees, so they are not easily wetted by the waves.

Yang Xianrong, Shi, Wang and others were sitting far away, wearing brocade robes and holding hot tea, but they did not go into the water.

However, their faces were full of smiles, and they joked that Liu and Cui, who were still visiting their relatives in Pingyuan and Qinghe, were at a great loss. Although they had to live with their families day and night, they missed out on a lot of the fun of nature.

They had just seen the expressions of the officials accompanying the emperor, and Yang Man even secretly asked her to dissuade the emperor. Yang Xianrong did not agree, but she also knew that the emperor was really accommodating and even indulgent to them, and did everything he could to make them happy.

Has any man ever been so good to them before?
In this way, it is normal that some people are willing to accompany him in "playing tricks": they dare not refuse, and are coaxed and flattered by him in every possible way, so they gradually "succumb".

I wonder if her niece still remembers Uncle Linyi.

She felt a little angry when she thought about it. The bastard spent more time with his niece than her in a day.

In addition, it is said that the daughter of Zhuge Daoming used to be indifferent. She didn't even care much about such major events as her husband's fight with Sima Fei for the position of crown prince. She was devoted to traveling around the mountains and rivers and enjoying the scenery.

However, in recent months, when Yang Xianrong got up early and took a walk, she heard calls like "Your Majesty" from a tent several times. The voices were a little anxious and aggrieved. When she looked again, the dog man had already gotten up early and practiced martial arts outside, leaving Zhuge Wenbiao alone in the tent. When she woke up, she found that the man was not by her side, so she called him.

She was afraid that she could not remember Sima Chong.

Another wave came from the front, interrupting Yang Xianrong's thoughts. She looked up and saw her niece, the Zhuge sisters, Ke Zhuhun, Gongsun, and the Murong aunt and nephew walking on the waves, with silver bell-like smiles constantly coming from them.

Shao Xun followed beside him.

He was wearing hunting clothes with his trouser legs rolled up, and from time to time he reminded the girls not to stray too far from the shore to avoid being swept away.

Quite attentive.

After saying this, Shan Yinan took the man's hand. The two stood side by side in the rising and falling tide, bathing in the sunset.

Shan Yinan suddenly turned her head and looked up at Shao Xun. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on her face, and her smile was clearly visible.

Yang Xianrong stood up and left angrily.

It was obvious that he had robbed this woman and forcibly possessed her, but after a few years, they had been treated like an original couple.

Outside the willow grove not far away, Wang and Duan were walking side by side.

"What happened to you back then?" Duan asked softly, "I was in Jicheng and only heard that you fled to Guangning, and Qi mobilized all the troops to besiege you, and then I don't know how the Liang army went northward."

"That's because I had nowhere else to go." Wang said, "I went south to beg for troops myself. I didn't have much hope, but I had no other choice. I didn't expect it to work in the end."

"How did you persuade Emperor Liang?" asked Duan.

Wang glanced at her and said, "It was Emperor Liang who wanted to launch the Northern Expedition. Do you really think a mere woman can persuade him?"

"and then?"

Wang stopped and said, "That night on Mount Baideng, Emperor Liang asked me for a reward."

Duan was a little uncomfortable, but couldn't help asking, "I don't think you have any complaints..."

Wang looked at her with some amusement and said, "He is such a great hero, and he said that he specially went to the North for me. Even if it is a lie, it sounds good, right? He also knows how to coax women. Why don't I want to serve him? If Tuoba Yulu was still alive, he would not coax me at all, would not always pay attention to whether I am happy or not, would not tell me all kinds of anecdotes, and would not take me around to play. After the marriage, I slept like a dead pig. I would not wipe me as carefully as he did, and then hug me and say some sweet words. I also have a summer palace in Liangcheng and a winter palace in Daijun. I have everything I need. The Khans of all generations cannot match it. During festivals, there are always letters coming, and the children also write letters to greet me."

"I am a woman, I don't have big ambitions. Someone dotes on me so much, and our child is so sensible, I just regret not marrying him from the beginning. Besides, the most noble woman on the grassland should serve the famous leader, this is natural."

Duan was stunned, not only because Wang had such a mental journey, but she was also worried that she actually felt a little envious in her heart.

In fact, as Wang said, she is also a woman.

Women on the grassland naturally admire strong men. If this strong man is willing to lower himself...

Duan actually felt her face getting hot. Emperor Liang was so eager to get her, the look of surprise when he saw her, and then his heavy breathing and smug and satisfied expression, all these pictures flashed before her eyes.

Duan bit her lip and subconsciously took a few steps away from Wang. Since getting along with this woman, she felt that she had degenerated little by little.

******
As the sun was about to set, the newly built pier creaked, and carriages, horses, and people were coming and going.

Zhuge Wenbiao stood on the edge of the pier, looking at the waves crashing under the bridge and the swaying ships, feeling a little scared.

The distance between the ship and the pier was sometimes long and sometimes short, which looked a bit scary. She really didn't have the courage to cross it.

It would be nice if it were just a piece of wood, she thought to herself, then turned to look at Shao Xun, feeling somewhat aggrieved.

Shao Xun chuckled, picked her up by the waist, and stood steadily on the deck of the ship. He then put Zhuge Wenbiao down and helped her into the cabin to sit down.

After Zhuge Wenbiao came Shan Yinan. Shao Xun brought them in one by one and settled them down.

When it was Duan's turn, she was about to refuse, but she felt her body lighten and she was hugged tightly, so she subconsciously put her arms around Shao Xun's neck.

Tents were set up on the coast and bonfires were lit. Murong Huang was lighting firewood with his two sons, Murong Ba and Murong Zun.

The firewood was a little wet, causing thick smoke that almost made him cry. Then he saw the scene not far away. Even though he was mentally prepared, he still felt like he was struck by lightning and became furious.

This bitch!
Didn't she take the initiative to put her arms around Shao Ze's neck? She took the initiative...

At this moment, Murong Huang hated his eyes so much that they had excellent vision and saw this "explosive" scene.

"Father." A call came from not far away.

Murong Huang turned his head suddenly, only to see Murong Ke. After a moment of hesitation, he slowly stood up and said, "Tufu, he didn't kill you?"

Murong Ke didn't know how to answer, so he just said in a low voice, "No."

Murong Huang quickly noticed the brocade robe his son was wearing. It was exquisitely made and made of high-quality materials. It was both beautiful and warm, and was very valuable.

"Are you an official?" Murong Huang asked.

Murong Ke shook his head.

"Then why did he reward you with the brocade robe?" Murong Huang felt that he had lost his mind and actually asked this question.

Murong Ke did not answer directly, but only asked: "Where is my uncle?"

“Uncle” is naturally Murong Ping.

Murong Huang sat back and said nothing.

Murong Zun whispered, "He died of illness on the way and was buried by the Bailang River."

Murong Ke was a little sad.

Although this uncle was a bit greedy and not very kind to him, he was still a family member after all, and he couldn't help but feel sad when he heard the news of his death.

"Fourth brother." Murong Ba suddenly asked, "How will Emperor Liang deal with us?"

"He probably won't kill me. That's all I know. He didn't even kill Tuoba Shiyijian. He has a broad mind." Murong Ke said.

"Who told you that?" Murong Zun took over the conversation with a look of joy on his face.

Even ants try to survive, so how could we young men be willing to end our lives like this?

"My mother said so." Murong Ke said.

"Boom!" The fire suddenly became brighter. Murong Huang added firewood in one by one, his face not looking very good.

"Don't set the tent on fire." The sergeant guarding them not far away shouted, "It doesn't matter if you want to die, but don't implicate others."

When the officials and nobles who were settled near Murong father and son heard this, they all sighed.

"Is there any news about my second brother?" Murong Ba asked again.

"I heard that they were persuaded to surrender by the Prince of Julu County of Liang State." Murong Ke said, "My second brother was unwilling to surrender, but my uncle wanted to surrender, and the two had a big quarrel. Then my uncle led his troops to attack Goguryeo. The Goguryeo people were well prepared, and the two sides were in a stalemate. Liang general Xu Yu led his troops to attack fiercely. Goguryeo's general Afuhe fought to the death to cover the retreat. After resisting for several days, his army was defeated and he was beheaded. Gao Zhao led his troops to escape."

Murong Huang added a few more pieces of firewood to the campfire, as if this was his mortal enemy.

The soldiers guarding them brought some dry and hard Hu cakes. Murong Ke took them and baked them for his father and brothers himself.

On the ships in the distance, lanterns have been hung.

The pot is steaming and the aroma is lingering.

"This is the seafood that my son sent from Maru on horseback." Shao Xun took a spoon and stirred the pot, saying, "Actually, it is not produced in Maru, but the seafood offered by the Dongwoju tribe to which I am a vassal. The Goguryeo people uniformly call it 'food from the sea', and I call it 'kelp' (kelp). This thing is very delicious when cooked in meat soup."

Seeing that the fire was almost ready, Shao Xun served soup to the women one by one, and then said with a smile: "Tomorrow night I will entertain the ministers on this boat. In a few days, when the army returns, I will hold a banquet on this boat again to entertain the officers of the Imperial Guard, the commander of Hebei Town, and the nobles of the tribe. They came late, so forget about it, we will eat first."

After distributing the broth one by one, Shao Xun sat down next to Duan and Wang, and gave each of them a fish.

Duan looked at the kelp soup and steamed fish in front of her. She didn't have a very good appetite and always felt a nauseous feeling rising from the bottom of her heart.

I must have been a bit seasick. The waves weren't really big, but it was a bit rocking, so seasickness was a possibility.

Wang keenly noticed the four words "Hebei Town Commander" and sighed secretly.

As Shao Xun's bedmate, she knew too many things.

The various towns in Hebei had indeed worked very hard during the conquest of Liao, but the emperor was too cruel and was about to deprive them of the foundation they were relying on to pass on to future generations.

If I don't obey, I don't know if I will be tied up and thrown into the sea.

It is true that serving the king is like serving a tiger.

However, it is time to deal with those military towns in Hebei. We cannot leave them to future generations.

The difficulty of doing this would be greatly reduced if we took advantage of the great victory in the expedition against Liao, and it could be said that it was the right time.
