In the sixteenth section, Wu Ming groaned, and then said: "Brother Tang, I rescued an abandoned baby a few days ago, and now he is suffering from a high fever. I'm helpless, and I want you two to go over and help me see. ”

Tang Xuan glanced at Wu Ming with some confusion and was about to speak. Mrs. Tang had already pulled him and said hurriedly: "What are you hesitating about, let's go over and have a look first." ”

Wu Ming's small courtyard was not far from the residence of the two, and the three of them hurried to arrive in a while. The little princess was still crying very much, and when the three of them broke in, they scared Xiaobi a lot. When he saw that it was Wu Ming and the others, he relieved his heart. Mrs. Tang snatched over a few steps and took the little princess to poke her forehead, and suddenly exclaimed: "Oops, my forehead is so hot." ”

Tang Xuan walked over, stretched out his right hand and touched the child's forehead, and then felt her body temperature with the back of his hand. After a while, he frowned and said, "Lord Wu, you go and open the doors and windows." The children are burned like this, and the closed doors and windows are really not conducive to heat dissipation. ”

Closed doors and windows are not conducive to heat dissipation? Wu Ming didn't know this, and always thought that children should try to dress as much as possible and be warmer so as to avoid catching a cold. But the most important thing is that although this is an independent small courtyard, once the doors and windows are opened, the little princess's cry is so loud, it is very bad to be discovered. He thought, his face hesitant. Tang Xuan shouted, "Don't go yet." ”

He said it very politely, but Wu Ming also knew that the other party was worried about the child's condition, so he naturally wouldn't care about it. Immediately gritted his teeth, walked to the window in a few steps, pushed it open, and then opened the door as well. The moonlight outside was as clear as silver, and the night breeze was blowing in, and the air in the whole room was clear. Tang Xuan was not idle, and continued: "Hurry up and prepare some ginger soup, warm water, and a towel to prepare a hot compress." ”

Xiaobi has been staying at home lately, and she doesn't even know where the kitchen is. And it is certainly not possible to call other Guards battalion fighters to do these things. Wu Ming answered, and had to trot all the way to the kitchen to get these things. Fortunately, there are now many female soldiers of the Suzaku team in the guard battalion, and these things are all standing items, but there is no shortage of them. From a few kitchen workers, I asked for these things that Tang Xuan opened. When she returned to the house again, the little princess was still crying in the arms of Mrs. Tang, but it was obviously not as powerful as just now. Tang Xuan took the warm water, and Mrs. Tang carefully wiped the little princess's forehead, neck, armpits, groin and other places several times. Finally, he dipped the towel in warm water, wrung it half-dry, and put it on the little one's forehead. The latter's cry slowly quieted down.

Only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

Tears welled up in Xiaobi's eyes, and she said vigorously: "Thank you, thank you." "She's probably overly excited, and she's already a little incoherent. Mrs. Tang sat on the edge of the bed with the little princess in her arms, her face exuding the brilliance of motherhood, and complained: "Lord Wu, it's not me saying you, don't take you in if you don't know how to raise children." Look at how cute this kid is, but his little face is so thin. ”

Wu Ming smiled bitterly and was about to answer. Tang Xuan stared at Xiao Bi and said, "This girl, we seem to know each other, right?" Xiaobi's face flushed, and she saluted him and said, "Lord Tang, I am Princess Mengling's personal maid." Tang Xuan suddenly held his forehead and said, "No wonder, why do I say that my face is so familiar." Why, haven't you heard from the princess yet? ”

Speaking of the princess, Wu Ming and Xiaobi's faces darkened at the same time. Tang Xuan looked at the two of them, knowing that most of them were useless. He thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry, although there are refugees everywhere now, this is a good opportunity to find the princess." ”

Wu Ming said: "Brother Tang, how do you say this?" ”

Tang Xuan said with a smile: "Princess Mengling is heading south, there is no doubt about that. And out of Kyoto, over the Qinglu Mountains is the Qingyang boundary. If the princess really disappeared in the Qingyang realm, and Sun Yunlong has been operating in Qingyang for so many years, why don't you ask him, maybe this old fox knows some clues. ”

Wu Ming's eyes lit up. felt that it was very possible that Sun Yunlong had not been identified before, so it was naturally difficult for him to ask him. But now that it has clearly fallen to the south, it is natural that there is no such scruples. Besides, now he still has to rely on himself to defend the city, if he really knows some clues, he will definitely know everything, and he will say everything. Thinking of this, he looked at Tang Xuan and said with a smile: "Brother Tang is really powerful, he can also think of such things, he is really the world's Zhuge in the world." ”

Tang Xuan was stunned, probably not understanding the meaning of Zhuge in the world. However, he didn't ask in detail, and said, "Lord Wu, if you want to inquire about the situation with Sun Yunlong, it's best to get rid of it as soon as possible, now the refugees in the entire Qingyang are almost finished." It's not clear what is abnormal. When Li Tie's army presses the border, it will be difficult to do it at that time. ”

Wu Ming was surprised and delighted, Tang Xuan was able to fool so many Taixue Hall teachings and practices to go south together, it seemed that he really had some ability. No wonder Tang Ziou praised him before he died. It seems that the light of Tang Tiezui's eyes has been covered by his father before, so he seems to be inactive. He smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go and ask Sun Dudu now." I really want to find Princess Mengling, and then invite Brother Tang to eat and drink. ”

He turned around and wanted to leave, but Tang Xuan grabbed him and said, "Lord Wu, don't be busy leaving, I still have something to ask you." As he spoke, he glanced at the sleeping little princess.

The little princess is now very asleep, and Mrs. Tang took Xiaobi's hand and kept saying something, while Xiaobi kept nodding. If it weren't for Mrs. Tang's proper maintenance and her appearance of being extremely young, the two of them would really have a bit of a motherly goddaughter taste now.

Wu Ming looked at him with a stern expression, and he didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd. He pulled him out of the house.

The night was deep, and it was as cold as water. It's April, and the crickets are alive. The sound of insects is like boiling, noisy among the grass, and even more like continuous dewdrops.

Tang Xuan put his hands behind his back and looked at the bright moon in the sky that was about to be round. Said solemnly: "Lord Wu, I was originally going to say this to you tomorrow. But since you've found it, you might as well ask together tonight. I hope we can both show our hearts. ”

Wu Ming was also shocked when he saw that he said solemnly. Hurriedly said: "Brother Tang has a peace message, please ask, the kid must tell the truth." ”

"Then the child, are you going to hand it over to me and the two of you to raise?"

Wu Ming's heart chuckled, but he was originally going to hand over the little princess to the Tang family to raise. It not only solves the embarrassment of the Tang family, but also gives the little princess a good place to go. On top of that, he can also watch the little princess grow up. In this way, we will kill three birds with one stone, and everyone will be happy. He nodded, "Exactly." ”

"Lord Wu, as soon as I arrived in Hanshui, I heard those refugees talk about it, saying that there was a ** in Hanshui a few days ago. Your Guards Battalion is also involved. Is this child really an abandoned baby? ”

Could it be that Tang Xuan has already discovered something? This is also impossible, ordinary people only say that the riot that night was the work of northern spies. The only people who knew that Steward Hu led the team to hunt down a woman and a baby were those dead men in black. However, those people had already returned to Nanning with Steward Hu, so it was naturally impossible to leak half a sentence. Suddenly, he froze, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, it was those patrol soldiers. At that time, when Steward Hu led the team to attack, there were several patrolling soldiers next to the Governor's Mansion. These people must have said it. And gossip is human nature, and it is estimated that many people in the city know about it now. Tang Xuan may also have heard some rumors, and then recognized Xiao Bi, and it was not surprising that he was suspicious.

He thought about it, sighed, and finally said honestly: "Brother Tang, you are not wrong, this child is the little princess, the youngest son of His Royal Highness the former Prince and Xian Zhuang Niangniang. ”

Tang Xuan's body shook and he didn't speak for a long time. Obviously, this fact also thundered him a lot. With his hands behind his back, he circled the yard several times in a row. Finally, he sighed and said: "Things are not people, things are people." When he said the last sentence, his voice was choked, and he was almost speechless.

Wu Ming was also gloomy for a while, and Tang Xuan was ordered by his father to go south. When I arrived here, I found that Xiao Tianzi had been transferred. The belief in his heart collapsed, and Wu Ming also deeply experienced the feeling of being at a loss. He opened his mouth to persuade the other party, but he was speechless for a while, and he had nothing to say.

Tang Xuan had been staring at the bright moon in the sky, suddenly sighed, and said softly, "Lord Wu, what are your plans in the future?" ”

He said very lightly, but now that there was silence, only the sound of insects, Wu Ming naturally heard it clearly. What if you just hear the conversation clearly? He was at a loss again in his heart, this question had been trapping him recently, and he didn't even know where to go next, how to answer Tang Xuan's question?

Tang Xuan suddenly said in a deep voice, "Lord Wu, aren't you awake yet?" ”

Wu Ming was agitated and sobered up. Still confused: "What? ”

Tang Xuan walked up to him and raised his voice: "The so-called corresponds with the same voice, and seeks the same breath." Lord Wu, do you know that more and more people are now surrounding you. If we don't have a goal, we will re-establish a goal by ourselves, and since this Eastern Han Dynasty is no longer the Eastern Han Dynasty of the past, we will recreate a self-created Eastern Han Dynasty. If you do this, everyone's last hope will be dashed. ”

Wu Ming's heart was shocked, and Tang Xuan's words were like an enlightenment, making him suddenly sober up. The past passed through his mind one by one like smoke. Traveling into this world, I went from the original indifference to the passive acceptance later, and then to the current confusion. I only felt that there was a lot of injustice in this world, but I never thought about whether I could change this unfair world and do something for the suffering people in this world. And Tang Xuan's words seemed to open a window to his soul.

Wu Ming looked up and saw Tang Xuan looking at him with blazing eyes. glanced at Chixiao on his waist, and said suddenly: "Lord Wu, Chixiao can automatically recognize the master, you must already know about it, right?" ”

"Yes."

When he was in Daya's palace, Tao Ziqian had already revealed this matter to him in private. At that time, Wu Ming still didn't believe it, but later he also privately asked other soldiers of the Guards Battalion to try, and he used all his strength to eat milk, but Chixiao couldn't pull it out. Now I believe in seven or eight points.

Tang Xuan smiled: "Come on, the peace of the whole troubled world may really be tied to you." At the beginning, Gaozu was just a commoner. ”

Wu Ming said a little crampedly: "But, I, can I?" ”

"Don't be presumptuous, the sky is strong, and the gentleman should be self-improving. The height of our predecessors will always stop at history. However, the later history needs us to create zào. As long as you want, this world is possible. ”

Tang Xuan glanced at Chixiao with some awe, then patted him on the shoulder, and when he saw Wu Ming clenching his fists, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Wu Ming suddenly raised his head and said to Tang Xuan, "Brother Tang, I'm sorry. ”

Tang Xuan laughed: "Don't say these kind words, I really say thank you, I also have to thank you for adding such a beautiful daughter to our Tang family." I think the old man can smile under the nine springs. ”

He promised to take in the little princess. I thought that Tang Xuan knew the identity of the little princess. Most of them can't accept the little princess. After all, once the identity of the little princess is announced, it will definitely be a disaster for the entire Tang family. Knowing that the peak was turning around, Tang Xuan finally agreed to take in the little princess. Wu Ming was pleasantly surprised, and he was speechless for a while.

Tang Xuan blinked, suddenly revealing a hint of cunning, and said with a smile: "Lord Wu, this child was originally from me and Xiaomei. It's just a small plum miscarriage, and everyone originally thought that most of them couldn't be raised, so it was never announced in Kyoto. Later, when he came to the south, the climate warmed up, and his body gradually became healthy. What do you think? ”

No matter how stupid Wu Ming is, he understands what the other party means. Tang Xuan's words were made up, and they were simply seamless. And the appearance of a newborn child is hardly different. As long as the little princess doesn't see Tao Yu during this time, others will definitely not recognize it. And the baby changes very quickly, and after a while, I'm afraid that even Tao Yu will be regarded as a fellow passerby. He almost jumped up and said, "Brother Tang is right. Don't hurry up and choose a name for your child, but also for good luck. ”

Tang Xuan smiled and was about to answer. Suddenly, the sound of heavy drums sounded in the night sky. The voice was low and long, and it seemed to weigh a thousand equally. That's the sound of the drums.

Wu Ming was taken aback, could it be that Li Tie's army had arrived? But counting the days, Li Tie's striker should also arrive. He was hesitating to call the Guards battalion to come out and assemble. The soldier on duty outside had already said loudly: "My lord, General Shao asks to see you." He was taken aback and hurriedly walked out with Tang Xuan.

Shao Wei was standing outside, looking anxious. Seeing Wu Ming coming out, he ran forward in a few steps, saluted, and said, "Lord Wu, the vanguard of the northern army has appeared outside Hanshui City. They all supervised me and told my lordship. ”

"Yes, I know, you go and tell the governor of Sun, and I will immediately gather my troops to prepare for the upcoming battle to defend the city."

"In this way, on behalf of the 100,000 refugees in the whole city who have not yet had time to retreat, I have thanked Lord Wu."

Shao Wei said, and knelt down respectfully and bowed to Wu Ming. He probably felt that he had offended Wu Ming last time, and this time Sun Yunlong invited himself. It must depend on the face of this commander. That knew that it was so smooth, so that he was a little out of it. Wu Ming was naturally in no mood to worry about these things with him, so he helped him up and said, "General Shao, don't be so polite, go and prepare." ”

Shao Wei got up from the ground gratefully and saluted again. Then he got on his horse and galloped away. Wu Mingchao's soldier on duty said, "Go and inform Lord Yang to assemble the team, I'll go over and have a look first." ”

Nan Wang's injuries had not healed, and Wu Ming naturally couldn't bear to let him go to the battlefield again. He took the reins of a horse handed to him by a warrior and flipped onto his horse. At this time, the drums became more and more urgent, and the sound was endless, almost like heavy iron balls rolling across the sky. He shook the reins of his horse and was about to gallop away. Tang Xuan suddenly said in a loud voice: "The sound of drums at the head of the city, the night sky is bright and the moon is clear." If you want to ask the name of your child, you are worried about peace. Lord Wu, the little girl's surname is Tang Mingwei. ”

"Okay."

Wu Ming answered, and clamped the horse's body. The horse chief neighed, shook off his four hooves and headed towards the Hanshui Governor's Mansion. The sound of horses' hooves is heard in the middle of the drums, but every step is unwavering and recognizable.

Tang Xuan listened, looking at the bright moon in the sky, and couldn't help but smile.
