When he came out of Li Yuan's dormitory, it was already the middle of the night, and there was no trace of relaxation on Ling Shuang's face.

How to convince the two siblings of Fulin and Yang Tong, and how to end the relationship with Zhen Mingku, she really can't predict what will happen in the future, and she doesn't want to think deeply, what she is really afraid of is what she will face next, and she has always been regarded as an enemy-like queen mother.

Every time she saw her mother, she would think of that unbearable past.

In the past, when they were in Baihualou, the two didn't see each other once a year, and now Li Yuan is called the emperor, the imperial family rules are cumbersome and complicated, and she has also become the third princess of the Tang Dynasty, but only she knows the helplessness of this, when she arrives in Chang'an, all the red tape has become a daily homework, although she is now fighting outside, but there will always be a day when she returns to Chang'an to settle down, Queen Dou has never recognized her as a daughter, but she dare not recognize this queen mother.

This is her most painful place, Li Yuan is very kind to her, but Queen Dou regards her as an enemy, outside the Tiger Prison Pass, she was framed by Li Yuanji, she never mentioned it to Li Yuanji, let alone held Li Yuanji responsible, otherwise with Queen Dou's short-term personality, I am afraid that her mother will treat her as an enemy who is not in the same sky.

She took a deep breath, adjusted her messy thoughts, and walked towards Empress Dou's bedroom.

……

Time flies.

When the Luoyang envoy arrived in Luoyang, the city celebrated, and the welcome team composed of merchants, eunuchs and ordinary people gathered in the road, holding flowers, and welcomed the people.

In order to show the abundance and richness of Luoyang and his prestige, Wang Shichong specially asked people to purchase all kinds of silk and satin from the eldest grandson's clothing and ornament store. Ribbons are torn into strips and tied to branches on both sides of the road. The breeze is together, and the grosgrain flutters. It's good-looking.

Although Longmen Town accommodated most of the refugees who had the ability to work, those beggars who needed to survive by aid were still wandering in Luoyang City, and they were all ordered by Wang Shichong, and thousands of beggars, old and young, sick and disabled, were all driven out of the city, and it was ordered that from now on, as long as the alliance of King Xia did not leave Luoyang, no begging was allowed in the city.

As a result, the city is much cleaner and more beautiful.

Zhen Mingku disguised himself as Ling Jing and rode on horseback. Walking side by side with Wang Xuanshu on Luoyang Street, looking at all kinds of faces and eyes on both sides of the street, all with mockery and disdain, shouting in his mouth and thinking in his heart are not the same at all. As long as there is a privileged hierarchy such as emperors and nobles, these high-ranking nobles like to engage in this superficial work, which seems to be glamorous. In fact, the labor and wealth behind it are the same in ancient and modern times.

These people shouted long live on the surface, but in fact, they wished that the other party would die immediately and go to hell. On the surface, they cheered and welcomed, but in fact, they were not even perfunctory in the so-called VIPs. But under the bad government, everyone is reluctant to do so. But he had to go with the flow and become a member of the helplessness.

The alliance was originally a good thing for the benefit of the people and the country, allowing the people to temporarily avoid the suffering of military service, but such a good thing was completely offset by such superficial rituals and forms.

In fact, the people's wish is very simple, that is, there will be less harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, less conscription and military disasters, and they can recuperate, which is more practical than the empty vernacular promise of a better and happy future on the emperor's table.

The guards marched all the way, and the sound was higher than the wave.

Although Zhen Mingku, he was not used to such a scene, but Wang Xuanshu beside him adapted very much, held his head high, waved to the people who welcomed him in the surrounding road, and looked forward to pride, as if he had made a great feat, and became the king of the saints admired by all the people.

Behind Wang Xuanshu, followed by Cheng Yanjin and Qin Shubao, who were wearing light armor and guarding with him.

Qin Shubao's eyes were firmly fixed on the back of Wang Xuanshu's head, and the cold light in his eyes flashed, along the way, Wang Xuanshu had trouble him several times, not only robbed his mount, but also repeatedly insulted his identity as a general.

Watching Wang Xuanshu riding his beloved horse, his heart was even more uncomfortable than his own woman being ridden by other men, his face was gloomy, and he didn't hear Cheng Biting Jin talking to him several times.

Cheng Yanjin watched from the sidelines, secretly worried, whether Wang Xuanshu was dead or alive, he didn't care at all, what he was worried about was that if Qin Shubao really went berserk and killed the second son of the Wang family, he was afraid that the two of them would no longer be able to stay in the Dark Guard.

Although with the skills and courage of the two of them, the world is so big that there is no place for it, but if you want to make a career, it is very necessary to take refuge in a promising team.

And he and Zhen Mingku are brothers who have shared hardships, they know the roots, they know that this person has always been heart-to-heart for his own people, without reservations, and he does not have so many flowery intestines, and most importantly, this person does not have the unscrupulous ambition and viciousness of others for profit.

Although this is an out-and-out shortcoming for the world, it is definitely a reliable advantage for friends.

He has already made up his mind to join the Dark Guard, no matter what the future prospects, just by virtue of Zhen Life, he will be rooted in the Dark Guard for the rest of his life.

If Qin Shubao killed Wang Xuanshu at this time and offended Wang Shichong, he would definitely not be able to stand idly by, even if Zhen could protect them, he couldn't bear to drag down Zhen Xuanshu and drag down the Dark Guard, and then he had to escape from Luoyang.

As far as he knows, today's Dark Guards only have less than 2,000 people, although they are all elite and well-equipped, but compared with Wang Shichong's hundreds of thousands of Weifu troops, they are really insignificant and outnumbered.

Fortunately, at this time, Zhen Mingku, who was searching for familiar faces in the crowd, inadvertently turned around and found the look in Qin Shubao's eyes, but he didn't understand what Qin Shubao was thinking, so he slowed down and gradually came to Qin Shubao's side.

"Brother Qin, it's been a hard journey."

Qin Shubao withdrew his gaze from the back of Wang Xuanshu's head, and said angrily: "Good horse let the donkey ride!" ”

Then he turned his head and said with a little expectation: "Brother Zhen, is your horse in Longmen Town really comparable to the wind?" ”

Zhen Ming smiled bitterly and said: "Don't worry, those in the general's mansion in Longmen Town are specially brought from the Turks, and there are many good horses of the gods, I promise to satisfy you, take 10,000 steps back and say, even if you don't like it, I just need to repair a letter and let you go to the Turkic Khan in person and pick a high-grade sweat and blood horse for you until you are satisfied!" ”

Qin Shubao was excited when he heard this, and he left all the hatred of grabbing horses all the way, and he was so excited that he couldn't fly to the Turks immediately and ride back the mount of the Turkic Khan.

The guards of the allied envoys went all the way to the door of Wang Shichong's mansion.

Wang Xuanshu found out that Zhen Mingku was lagging behind, talking and laughing with Qin Shubao and Cheng Yanjin, his face sank, if it wasn't for Zhen Mingku's messenger, he would have been reprimanded on the spot this time.

Thinking of these two generals, they have a disdainful and abominable appearance of being cold and unruly to this son, and they are very enthusiastic about this Dou Jiande's alliance, and at first glance, they are in Cao Ying's heart in Han, and they want to use Ling Jing's springboard to hook up with Dou Jiande.

"When I know my father, I'll clean up the two of you lost dogs!"

Thinking like this, he forcibly held back the anger in his heart, rode his horse to Zhen Mingku's side and said: "Mr. Ling, I have seen my father in the mansion today, and I will rest in my mansion for a few days, and I will take you to visit the beautiful scenery of Luoyang. ”

Zhen Ming smiled bitterly and said, "Everything is arranged by Prince Wang." ”

Wang Xuanshu saw that he was polite, so he dissipated half of his anger and said: "No wonder Mr. Ling can win the trust of King Xia and entrust him with important tasks, compared with some defeated generals who don't know the times, it is really a world of difference, why don't I have a talent like Mr. Ling in my Wang family, Mr. Ling, please!" ”

After speaking, regardless of Cheng Biting Jin and Qin Shubao's eyes of wanting to kill, he got off the horse, greeted left and right, and entered the mansion together with Zhen Mingku.

As for Cheng Yanjin and Qin Shubao, he didn't even have a perfunctory interest, and the Wang family's guards also entered the mansion one after another, leaving the two and dozens of their cronies to escort them, alone.

"I'll cut off this guy's head sooner or later!"

Qin Shubao scolded hatefully.

Cheng Yanjin was not very angry, it was better if Wang Xuanshu didn't come to deal with it, the two of them were happy, and said with a smile: "Shubao, let's go, take you to Brother Zhen's Longmen Town, I heard that it is much more interesting than Luoyang City." ”

When Qin Shubao heard this, he was interested, and said excitedly: "Let's go!" In the future, I will follow Brother Zhen to fight the world, Brother Zhen, who has worked hard for many years, really has to be familiar with Longmen Town, but I want to see what this Longmen Town, which can't even lead the army in person, looks like! ”

The two took dozens of guards, watched and toured all the way, talked and laughed, walked out of the south gate of Luoyang City, and went straight to Longmen Town.

……

Seeing the fortress-like Longmen Town Tower a kilometer away, Qin Shubao couldn't help but hurry up, hurried all the way, and rushed to the north gate of Longmen Town first.

As soon as I arrived at the city tower, I saw two metal gates made of pure steel, flashing with rumors of silver light, and there were dark guards guarding towers with different equipment from the guards of Luoyang City standing on the gatehouse.

The city gate is full of traffic, the river is endless, although there are many people, the city gate is not crowded at all, on the moat bridge with eight carriages wide, people come and go, it is very lively, there are even people on both sides of the bridge who set up stalls, people are worried about whether this bridge can bear the weight of so many people, but those dark guard guards on the city tower do not seem to be worried, standing on the city tower, staring at the pedestrians downstairs with shining eyes.

There is no inventory at the gate of the city tower, and they enter and exit at will. (To be continued......)
