The Possession of My Beloved

      look.

    Fortunately, she put on her underwear again... Cui Xingzhou couldn't tell for a while whether he was relieved or a little disappointed?

    Mian Tang didn't know that he was not her husband, so he couldn't accept her in such a confused way.

    Cui Xingzhou does not follow the way of a gentleman, but is a man's pride. He is not a prankster on the street, and he has to be tricked into sleeping with a woman.

    If she took advantage of her when she didn't know anything, this would really damage Cui Xingzhou's pride.

    Because Miantang was afraid of the cold, he sat by the bed for a while, and then went to bed when his body was warm.

    It was just that when the little lady habitually leaned over in her sleep, the aroma was still overwhelming, Cui Xingzhou took a deep breath, frowned and closed her eyes... After a while, she couldn't help it. He hugged her, and his hair was entangled like this, snuggling up to sleep...

    The allusions of the ancients about self-cultivation have a source.

    This kind of masochistic behavior of practicing boxing and drinking cold water in the middle of the night, the iron body can't bear it.

    The next day, when Cui Xingzhou woke up in the morning, he felt a little groggy.

    Miantang noticed the strangeness of the person beside the pillow, and reached out to touch it, it was hot.

      Stay on the bed!"

    After he finished speaking, he patted the cool handkerchief on his forehead.

    Cui Xingzhou was rarely sick. At this time, he had a high fever and sore joints. He was tired and lazy for a while, so he followed the little lady's wishes and lay on the bed.

    Seeing that her husband was finally obedient, Mian Tang felt relieved, and while holding her hair, she looked out the window and called Mo Ru to find a husband to see a doctor.

    The little servant Mo Ru thinks that the prince is sick, so he can't find some barefoot men on Jianglu to watch. But if you invite the old man in the palace, the so-called "outside house" spreads to the concubine's ears, doesn't it make her old man angry?

    However, recently, the Duke of Zhennan and King Huaiyang have lost some friends. I heard that this guy was ill in Beijie, and suspected that he was pretending to be sick to win the pity of the girl, and he immediately cursed in his heart.

    But I couldn't hold it back with a good word and persuasion, and then I changed my clothes and went out with the medical box of Hou's mansion.

    When Zhao Quan came to this time, he felt that the house on North Street was cold. It's just a house decoration, it's just a base for fishing people. At that time, he still felt pity for Lady Liu, and ate dried radish, which was bitter, how could he endure it?

    Since then, he hasn't come to North Street for a long time. Anyway, Miantang won't let anyone open the door for him.

    As soon as he entered the yard, Zhao Quan only felt the smell of fireworks on his face "pop".

    What caught my eye were several washed men's long shirts, next to the women's underwear, fluttering in the wind on the clothesline, warmly basking in the sun.

    There are strings of peppers and dried persimmons under the eaves. On a bamboo and rattan rocking chair, there was a cat that seemed to have just been weaned. It shrank into a small ball and looked at Zhao Quan, an outsider, vigilantly.

    For some reason, Zhao Quan felt that there was no longer the perfunctory and desolateness that he used to play when he came here, but it seemed that it would last forever...

    Seeing that Mo Ru invited Zhao Quan, Mian Tang quickly avoided going to the small kitchen, and followed Mama Li to cook **** soup for her husband. Ask Zhao Quan to treat Cui Xingzhou in the house.

    Zhao Quan slightly rudely pulled up the sleeves for Cui Xingzhou, tapped his fingers to cut the pulse, and after a while he said, "Tian Tian is snuggling up here with warm fragrant nephrite jade, pretending to be her husband to take advantage of his wife, How can the internal fire be too high, and the blood is surging?"

    Cui Xingzhou ignored his friend's sour words, and just closed his eyes and said, "Is there a formula that works faster? Tomorrow, the high-ranking officials of the DPRK will come to the camp, and I must be my company."

    This kind of common cold, naturally, can't help Zhao Quan, only after skillfully prescribing the prescription for him, he also needs to give him acupuncture to relieve anger.

    When the needle was placed, Zhao Quanxian said: Yesterday, relatives from the capital came to my house. I heard that the northwest is in chaos now, and the barbarians tore up the terms of the peace talks in the late emperor's time, and even killed Princess Jing'an, who had been married to her for the past ten years. Our Dayan's inner face was severely trampled underfoot. The officials who advocated peace between the DPRK and China are now thrown rotten eggs by the people when they go out. Therefore, errands like this, which go out to Beijing to inspect the southern military camp, have become a beautiful job, and officials are eager to hide away from Beijing! So this inspection is probably also a scene, you just need to be good at the reception of wine and meat. "

    Cui Xingzhou also knew what Zhao Quan said. According to his biography of flying pigeons in the capital, the actual situation at the border was worse than what the people knew.

    The Dayan army, which has been pampered for many years, has long been no longer the division of tigers and wolves in the period of the late emperor. One by one, from top to bottom, they lost air force salaries and wiped away their oil and water. It is said that the weapons were not made of pure iron, and if they were struck hard, the halberd would crack. The border has lost five counties in a row. The Jinjia Pass, which is now being defended, is only supported by the dangerous terrain.

    Thinking of the still-living prince's orphan, and the king of Sui who didn't know what to do, Cui Xingzhou really felt that Dayan was now in a precarious situation.

    However, the prosperous events created during the period of the late emperor fascinated the eyes of the world, like a frog boiled in warm water, making people not knowing how to struggle.

    Cui Xingzhou couldn't help but sneer at the thought of the former Concubine Xi in the court, the now high-ranking Empress Wu, who is still thinking about dividing up the power.

    Cui Xingzhou's headache was greatly relieved after Zhao Quan prescribed the prescription and administered acupuncture again. Miantang asked Fang Xie to pay Zhao Quan some money as a reward for visiting the doctor.

    Zhao Quan stared at the bag of silver in his hand, threw it to Fang Xie, and stretched his neck reluctantly to Liu Miantang, who was hiding in the small kitchen: "His cold symptoms have not disappeared. Madam, stay away from him, don't let him get sick... If you are let down in the future, come to me, although I am friends with Cui Jiu, I am not a person like him..."

    Mian Tang did not expect that her husband was still at home, and the genius doctor was full of nonsense, and immediately went to serve the hot pot of water in the kitchen. Mama Li was so frightened that she quickly snatched it away, otherwise, the top pillar of Zhennan Hou's mansion would be scalded and bald.

    After Zhao Quan left, Miantang was still so angry that her cheeks were flushed, and while feeding Cui Xingzhou with medicine, she said, "Why is he like this? Isn't he mentally ill?"

    Cui Xingzhou smiled gently: "The single-handed seedling in the family is just spoiled, you just ignore him."

    Miantang glared at her husband for the first time: "Not only I don't care, but you also don't care, what can you learn from being with such a person?"

    Cui Xingzhou smiled slightly: "I didn't expect to learn anything, but it was easy to communicate."

    Miantang felt that this was an excuse made by her husband, and while passing the spoon, he said: "Follow him, you can learn a lot, you can learn a lot, you can hook up with other people's relatives, and you can learn to be arrogant. , sooner or later he said the wrong thing and was beaten to death on the street..."

    Cui Xingzhou frowned and took another sip. He couldn't help it, and said slowly: "Do you have to feed me the medicine spoon by spoon because you are embarrassed by me?"

    Miantang realized it later, and when she smelled the medicine, it was really bitter.

    Cui Xingzhou grabbed the bowl and drank the rest of the concoction. Strictly speaking, this lady and Zhao Quan are also half a pound. If they are really servants, they will end up being dragged down and beaten to death in the palace.

    Miantang saw that her husband had drank the concoction, and hurriedly rummaged through his snack box, took out a few candied fruits, put them in her husband's mouth, and then cautiously said: "I forgot How do you serve your husband to take medicine, I hope your husband is not to blame, next time you are ill, I will know the rules..."

    Cui Xingzhou pinched her nose: "Are you expecting me to get sick?"

    Mian Tang shyly cuddled in his arms: "Don't give birth too heavy, just don't have to go out, just stay with me at home..."

    Since this time, she has not gone out much, unlike before, she always went out to make a living and looked at the shop. After a moment of leisure, people feel a little uncomfortable.

    Cui Xingzhou understood that she was bored these days, so he hugged her and lowered his head and coaxed: "...when I understand everything at hand, I will take you out of town to play and dissipate your mood..."

    This house on North Street is really too small. After waiting for a while, he told Miantang the truth and sent her to a courtyard outside the city of Zhenzhou.

    There is another courtyard built by his father when he was king to cool off the summer heat. of melons and fruits.

    She loves to take care of things, and she is very busy when she arrives there. The most important thing is that the courtyard is not far from the palace, he can go there at any time, and there is no shortage of care...

    Cui Xingzhou felt that this arrangement was better than leaving her alone in Lingquan Town after he was married for a long time.

    Thinking about it this way, when Cui Xingzhou went out the next day, he instructed Mo Ru to remember to inform the steward of the Zhenzhou Courtyard and install more dragons in the hall and master room.

    Miantang is afraid of the cold, so I need to install more earth dragons to live comfortably.

    When he returned to the barracks, the special envoy from the capital arrived early and was inspecting the barracks accompanied by several generals.

    Only when Cui Xingzhou met, he knew that the one who came down this time was actually the former Concubine Xi, the younger brother of the current Empress Dowager Wu - the current Taiwei Wu Junqing.

    Seeing that the visitor turned out to be a dignified uncle, Cui Xingzhou guessed that the visitor was not good.

    However, compared with the several aggressive disarmament decrees of the DPRK, this time Uncle Guo's tone was very kind.

    In his words, he praised the king of Huaiyang for his strict control of the army and his well-disciplined deployment.

    Cui Xingzhou listened with a smile, but he had a bad feeling in his heart.

    As expected, after the banquet, after the three cups of the uncle, he mentioned the barbarian turmoil at the border. To put it bluntly, the DPRK has no good generals to send.

      Loaded into the annals of history, passed on for generations.

    Cui Xingzhou did not expect that the imperial court had such an idea.

    This dynasty wants to cut down the vassal and different surnames, but also wants to use his sons and soldiers to fight on the front line? Just a fool's dream.

    But Wu Junqing came here well prepared.

    The northwest is in crisis, and the Jinjia Pass can't hold for too long. Led into the encirclement with a tricky formation, and all the food and grass were cut off.

    In desperation, Long live can only adopt the old minister Geng's strategy, and let Cui Xingzhou, who has countless achievements in suppressing bandits, go to the front line to defend against the enemy.

    First, see if he can help guard the Golden Armor Pass and ease the urgent needs of the front line; secondly, even if he can't win, he will lose most of his soldiers.

    For the court, there are advantages and disadvantages!

    But Cui Xingzhou is not a military general in the court, but a hereditary king, how easy is it to let him leave the fief?

    However, when Wu Junqing came here, he passed through Huizhou and Qingzhou, and he had already made complete arrangements. At the beginning, the late emperor was also afraid that the different surname Wang would grow up, so there were heavy soldiers around Zhenzhou.

      Otherwise, it is a mouse in a wine barrel, waiting for the flood to be surrounded, and there is absolutely no way to return.

    In fact, in the period of the late emperor, the number of troops stationed by kings with different surnames was subject to considerable control. This Cui Xingzhou used the opportunity of suppressing bandits to strengthen his troops and horses, but in fact he surpassed the ancestral system.

    If he honestly went to the front line, it would be fine.

     Qingzhou and Huizhou have both issued guarantees again, and they will never make life easier for this prince.

    So seeing that Cui Xingzhou didn't answer, Wu Junqing was not afraid of him turning his face.

    After the banquet was over that day, the King of Huaiyang did not go anywhere and walked along the riverside for the night.

    In today's Zhenzhou, one side is stable, and the canal digging is just around the corner, and the towns here will be more prosperous.

    Every grass and tree here is the hard work of two generations of the Cui family.

    At the banquet today, Wu Junqing hid a knife in his smile, and the knife saw blood. If possible, Cui Xingzhou wanted to overturn the table and slaughter the old thief Wu Junqing.

    But he knew that his time was not enough.

    In addition, if they continue to stay in Zhenzhou, they will inevitably be involved in the civil strife in which the prince's orphan colluded with the Sui King.

    But once the identity of Liu Hao was revealed, he Cui Xingzhou became a demon concubine and a traitor to the party, killing the flesh and blood of the former prince's direct relative...

    For a while, Cui Xingzhou deduced all possibilities, and suddenly found that perhaps leading troops to conquer the northwest is not the worst situation.

    Looking at a little star in the sky, Cui Xingzhou remembered the words of his old man when he had a secret conversation with Mr. Ge a few days ago - "In troubled times, you can become a hero, and let's see if you have such a fortune in the future."

    Now the "chaotic times" are just beginning to appear, but how to demonstrate this ability... only depends on his choice.

    Wu Junqing bluntly said that the imperial decree to appoint him Cui Xingzhou to go to the northwest to exterminate the barbarians will arrive soon, and now the situation around Zhenzhou is surging, and it will see if he can obey the decree...

    Two days later, the imperial decree arrived at the Huaiyang Palace.

    Everyone in the palace knelt down to receive the decree.

      Support, almost fell to the ground.

    However, Cui Xingzhou was not humiliated, and calmly accepted the order and thanked Longen. Then he instructed the senior executives to distribute the red envelopes and rewards to the father-in-law, with the same etiquette.

    The father-in-law who came to deliver the decree saw Cui Xingzhou's reaction in his eyes and nodded with satisfaction.

    Mr. Wu later instructed that if the King of Huaiyang was a little unhappy, or refused to accept the order, he should immediately give it to the Huaidong camp ten miles away from Zhenzhou.

    In just one night, Discipline Zhenzhou was surrounded by water!

    At that time, even if Cui Xingzhou wanted to accept this imperial decree, he would not be able to accept it!

    In their palace, they are much better informed than the people. What happened to Jinjiaguan? That is the bottomless pit that devours human flesh!

    It is said that Jiang Kang, the fierce general of the dynasty, also died in the Jinjiaguan battle not long ago.

    General Jiang was very smooth at first, and with his experience, he escaped a lost county. But it was later proved that this was just a swindle of barbarians to lure him into a trap. Later, the barbarians attacked his handsome camp, dragged General Jiang out of the tent in his sleep, hung his stomach with a golden hook, and ran around the Golden Armored Pass three times before the man was dragged to death.

    It is precisely because of the tragic death of General Jiang that the government and the opposition are shocked. But this time, let the kid in Xingzhou go to repel the barbarians, isn't there a return?

     Concubine Chu has only one son, and he has not married to continue the incense. If she died in battle, wouldn't she be the only one left alone? For a time, the princess cried like rain.

    However, Cui Xingzhou warmly persuaded him, saying that the battle situation was not as terrible as what his mother heard.

     Concubine Chu did not listen to her son's explanation, and ordered her sister Lian Chu to be found. Then I cried with my sister about this matter: "Sister, if we can't delay it any longer, let's get Li Lan and Xingzhou married. If God has eyes, bless Li Lan to conceive the flesh and blood of the Chu family quickly, otherwise if Xingzhou has an eye In case... Cui family's direct line of blood, wouldn't it be interrupted?"

     Concubine Chu was crying, and her sister Lian Chu was also shocked.

    What is this? Oh. Her Cui family can continue the incense, but her daughter has to be widowed?

    Lian Chu has a lot of hearts, but she is quiet, she just persuaded the concubine to open up, but she didn't say anything about getting married in advance.

    She turned around and excused herself from being unwell, and hurried back home in a carriage.

    Only told her husband Lian Hanshan, his son, and daughter Lian Lilan that King Huaiyang was going to Jinjia Pass.

    Lian Hanshan joined Beijing a few days ago to serve. He once heard about this from his colleagues. He only said that the court had actually made a peace tribute and prepared to pay the annual money. But if you don't resist and surrender without a fight, it won't be very good to the people.

    The mother and daughter of the Lian family fell on their chairs after hearing this.

    The eldest brother Lian Xuan frowned and said, "Jiangshan society is in a hurry. If the King of Huaiyang does not obey the decree, how can he be worthy of being a minister? Isn't it left an eternal infamy?"

    Lian Chu looked at his son, who was as old-fashioned as Laozi, and was so angry that he could not steel: "There is no imperial censor here, and you are so brave and loyal. Rewards! You should quickly think of something for your sister, the concubine will arrange their marriage in a few days, and the day when your sister becomes a widow is just around the corner."

    Lian Hanshan was also worried about his daughter, but he felt that his wife was a little exaggerated, so he said: "Look at what you said, it seems that if you go there, you will die in battle. If you let others listen, wouldn't it? To say that you have a selfish heart?"

    Lian Chu squinted and said: "How many people have died in Jinjia Pass? You just came back from the capital, how can you not know? The soldiers who go to Jinjia Pass now, when their relatives see them off Dressed in white, he was mourning for the Ming Dynasty, and the cries continued from the gate of the capital to the ten-mile fork in the road. Did Cui Xingzhou have three heads or six arms? He was just killing one or two bandits, and it was passed down as a military exploit. Hehe! Once the Golden Armor Pass is lost, even if he can come back alive, he will be punished by Long Live for the crime of incompetence. At that time, it will not only be my daughter who is a widow, but the future of your father and son will also come to an end!"

    When it was night, Lian Lilan finally opened her mouth to speak. Thinking that her cousin might die in battle, her eyes were already sore from crying. But it was really inappropriate for the concubine to want her to marry into the palace in a hurry.

      Under her name, she was adopted as a direct son, and her road to remarriage was also cut off.

    At that time, she is only young, but she has to be a widow and raise other people's children... In such a day, what is the use of monstrous wealth?

    The author has something to say:  Meow~~ Zhao Quan, as a friend, should I expect my friend to die in battle so that I can inherit his widow?
