Emperor Phoenix

Chapter 266

Swinging away someone's wolf claws around her waist, Qin Changge raised his fingers, and five shining needles flicked between his fingers, smiling softly, "Five needles, five senses, itching, numbness, soreness, coldness, need Don't try together, or take turns?"

"I'm not afraid of your means if you dare to ask for it," Xiao Jue didn't care, "As long as you're willing, just come."

Qin Changge was stunned, and said for a while, "That rogue Rong'er must have taught you."

Xiao Jue laughed loudly, wrapped his arms around her waist triumphantly, stepped in, and said loudly, "My woman, how can I marry someone else?"

Everyone in the hall heard the sound and turned their heads in unison, and saw the handsome man in black striding forward with the beautiful woman in his arms in the sunlight. The two of them were dressed in golden light as if they had stepped out of a painting.

Those who recognized Xiao Jue immediately shouted Long Live and prostrated themselves on the ground, Ming Zonghua and the fiancé were still there in a daze, the nanny gently grabbed them and shouted: "Your Majesty is coming, don't kneel down to welcome him!"

Those two people were startled, and they knelt down foolishly. Xiaoguan Cao from Mingzong's Huabu was never qualified to see Tianyan, and he was already terrified. From the corner of his eyes, he saw that it was his daughter who was in Xiao Jue's arms. Overjoyed, eyes darkened and almost fainted, quickly pinched his fingers, and thought: I am crazy about joy... Shuang'er, Shuang'er, she...

The young man's face was pale, and he knelt on the ground, staring at Xiao Jue's hand holding Qin Changge's waist.

Xiao Jue stopped in front of Ming Zonghua, looked down at him, and said, "Are you Mingshuang's father?"

Ming Zonghua kowtowed deeply, "Ming Zonghua, the criminal minister, see my lord, long live my lord."

He prostrated himself on the ground deeply, not daring to vent his breath, and not daring to look up at his daughter in front of her.

Qin Changge tilted his head in thought, is he going to greet Ming Zonghua?How could Xiao Jue want her to bow down to others, not to mention that he didn't have a good impression of this Ming Zonghua, this man was so enthusiastic, he tried every means to send his ten-year-old daughter to the palace, just to cling to the royal family, he gave his daughter away in vain If Changge hadn't felt soft-hearted when he saw that he hadn't lived a long time, he might as well have told him that his daughter died.

Xiao Jue held Qin Changge's hand tightly to prevent her from bowing down. Qin Changge had no choice but to help Ming Zonghua up. The nephrite jade is warm and fragrant, and it is full of hugs, so it must be enough.

Fingers slowly rubbed on Qin Changge's palm, slowly rubbed on her waist, Xiao Jue's smiling and absent-minded Yin Yin asked Ming Zonghua who was flattered, and he didn't remember what he said nonsense. I think, Changge's hands are so slippery, Changge's waist is so slender, Changge's body... Well, I think of that bright red... Plum blossoms in the snow...

Qin Changge put on a stiff smile, sat on the king's side in a stately manner, stretched his fingers behind him, and viciously grabbed Xiao Jue's back—choked to death you bastard who seized the opportunity to eat tofu!
The two showed a graceful demeanor, pointing back and forth, Wen Chang could see clearly from that angle, just pursed his lips and smiled.

Xiao Jue asked a few words, and finally said with a smile: "Get up, I will accept Mingshuang as my concubine, and we will be a family from now on, so don't be restrained."

Ming Zonghua lost his composure in ecstasy, and suddenly raised his head.

Facing each other head on, Qin Changge saw a mole on his chin at a glance.

With a flash in his eyes, Qin Changge suddenly remembered when he had seen him.

Back then, during the Battle of Yunzhou, I hadn't appeared at Xiao Jue's side, but the Phoenix Alliance had already been established. It was intercepted. At that time, I drove all night long to report the news, but I didn’t have time to change the horse under my crotch. I died exhausted in Qingfeng Town, Yunzhou. At that time, I couldn’t buy a horse late at night, so I went to a local big family to steal the horse. While stealing the horse, a little girl saw her, but the child didn't yell. Seeing her tired face, she even went to the kitchen to get some pastries and brought them over. At that time, he took out a bunch of Jiulinglong from his bosom and gave it to her.

Later that night, when she rode out the door on horseback, the family behind her was disturbed, and they lit torches to chase the horse thief. Patriarch Nian nodded a huge vivid black mole, and saw the little girl holding Jiu Linglong and staring at her in a daze, her face was beautiful in the light of the fire.

It turned out that it was Mingshuang.

It turns out that the reincarnation of the world is passed on in a circle, and every karmic knot is made for the purpose of untying it after many years.

At the beginning, I wondered how Mingshuang, a little maid, could give Jiu Linglong to help Jinyun escape bad luck, but it turned out that Jiu Linglong was originally given by herself.

Qin Changge stared at Ming Zonghua in a daze, suddenly felt the coldness of heaven and shuddered in his heart.

At this time, Ming Zonghua was ecstatic, his dream of many years had finally come true, he was not in vain, he went bankrupt and sent his daughter to the palace. It looks like the underwear is all mended, and there is no money to replace it. Alas, the son-in-law Liu Liang's family also resigned as a petty official, otherwise... oh, no, Liang'er is not considered a son-in-law now.

He quietly looked at Xiao Jue with a bright face—that is his son-in-law, the emperor, the emperor of Xiliang, Mingshuang is really up to the challenge... Let's send Liang'er back later!
Qin Changge stared at his expression, with a flash of disgust in his eyes, but Xiao Jue was only immersed in the infinite joy of "today's advantage is good enough", and he was content to stop Qin Changge's ruthless pinch again. After Ming Zonghua said a few words of concern, he dragged Qin Changge away.

Ming Zonghua stepped aside respectfully, not daring to hold back a word, but Qin Changge passed by him and suddenly asked, "Father, is Yunzhou still the same now?"

"Hui Niang Niang," Ming Zonghua quickly entered the role, and greeted him with a bow, "Yunzhou has become more and more prosperous in recent years, it is all because of His Majesty's wisdom and love for the people, and the people of Yunzhou are fortunate to be bathed in virtue."

"Oh," Qin Changge said casually, "I haven't been back for many years. The only thing I remember now is Changding Pass. In my impression, the city wall was built by Empress Ruiyi after the Battle of Yunzhou. Glutinous rice juice and clay lime After pouring and ramming, the archery gates at the main entrance are extremely majestic, and there are nearly five thousand battlements alone, which is a solid city wall that can be counted on the frontier."

"...Yes, yes," Mingzong Hua Nuo repeatedly agreed, but for some reason, his expression was a little strange.

Qin Changge turned his gaze, and looked at Ming Zonghua with a little surprise, "Father, what, am I wrong?" I was a little worried, because I suddenly remembered that Yunzhou, as a frontier city, was located on the original border of Wei and Liang At the end of the Shang Mountain Range, the military position is extremely dangerous. If the Wei-Yan coalition forces do not go to Ducheng, and if there is a trail in the Shang Mountain Range that Xiliang does not know can go straight through, then it is very likely that Yunzhou will be the first to confront the coalition forces. , so there is this question.

Not to mention Miss Mingshuang's official family, who didn't even step out of the second door, and didn't even go to Changding Pass?That's just wearing clothes.

Ming Zonghua just wiped his sweat, and said again and again: "No, it's nothing, Changding Pass is majestic... that majestic..."

"What a majestic scene! It's all used to build a house for the governor!"

The boy's words were earth-shattering.

Xiao Jue suddenly turned around, "What did you say?"

The boy raised his head, knelt down on the ground and looked at Xiao Jue with resentment and gloat, and said loudly: "Your Majesty must not know, right? Mr. Ma, governor of Yunzhou, is the most superstitious person who believes in geomancy, feng shui and crape myrtle. I had a dream three years ago..."

"Good boy!"

Qin Changge glanced coldly at Ming Zonghua who hurriedly opened his mouth to stop Liu Liang. Ming Zonghua immediately shut up, dazed for a while, and quietly wiped off his cold sweat.

This look... Is this my daughter?Could it be said that being the emperor's concubine is so majestic and dignified, so she came here uninvited?

"Go on," Xiao Jue had calmed down, turned around and sat down on the chair, "No matter what you say, I will forgive you for not guilty. Whoever stands in your way is guilty!"

Ming Zonghua's legs softened, and he knelt down again. Liu Liang continued with a sneer: "Three years ago, Mrs. Ma had a dream in which a god gave him a nine-dragon robe. To be an emperor, the only thing that lacks a blessing is to use imperial bricks to build a mansion and a private house, which must protect the foundation for generations to come. Yunzhou does not have such imperial bricks, and Mr. Ma dare not go to Beijing to buy gold bricks no matter how courageous he is. Then someone offered a suggestion, saying that the city wall of Changdingguan in Yunzhou was personally supervised by Empress Ruiyi, and it can be regarded as an imperial brick. It is better to cut a section of the city wall to build a house, it must be auspicious.

"Well," Xiao Jue's eyes were filled with dark clouds, but his face was quite calm, motioning for him to continue.

"Lord Ma didn't dare to blatantly cut down the city wall. The empress once ordered after the city wall was completed that the city wall of Yunzhou must be strengthened every year and repaired from time to time, so as to protect the safety of our army and people in Yunzhou forever with the wall of heaven that is indestructible by wind and rain. Mr. Ma secretly sent someone to tear down the bricks at night. In order not to be discovered, he deliberately chose an inconspicuous corner in the west of the city. When part of the demolition was removed, part was repaired. Mr. Ma took care of repairing the city wall. It's another thing, those officials, took the silver that was issued to repair the wall to drink flower wine, replaced the bricks of the wall with rotten bricks and tiles, and pasted green mortar on the outside, it seemed to be no problem, in fact One push and one fall..."

Qin Changge listened quietly, feeling Xiao Jue's fingers trembling slightly in his palm, knowing that his anger was on the verge of eruption, he gently squeezed his hand, Xiao Jue froze, took a deep breath, and calmed down. He said coldly: "You are ridiculous! Ma Sirui, a first-rank official in the imperial court, and an important minister with outstanding annual reports from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, dares to do such a rebellious and insane thing? Besides, how can you, a young man with a weak crown and a commoner, know about such secrets? so clear?"

With a flick of his sleeves, he said solemnly: "Slandering an official ordered by the court is a serious crime of beheading!"

"How dare the grassroots go ahead and do absurd things to frame the court officials!" Liu Liang raised his head without fear, first glanced at Qin Changge, and then gritted his teeth: "The people of Yunzhou already know about this, and they still don't understand it." There are ballads, and the grass-roots recite them to His Majesty—"Changding Pass, a wall of thousands of miles, demolished to make a pit in the horse's house, and the dragon and crouching tiger sleep for three nights, and I will be the emperor next year!" As for why the grass-roots people even have that dream so clearly , because Caomin's father was originally the city guard of Changding Pass, and because he refused to join forces with his colleagues, he was falsely accused and dismissed from office, Caomin's father knows all about the dirty things!"
