The Tyrant’s Beloved Empress

Chapter 55

There was the sound of howling wind in the ears, the speed of stepping on the snow was too fast, the surroundings were dark, and the scenery (color) on both sides passed quickly, An Changqing could only see the eternal bright galaxy above his head. +++Mobile reading visit m.

I don’t know how long it took to run, Taxue carried the two and stopped by the side of a small lake.

If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, no one would have thought that there is such a clear lake hidden deep in the desert. Perhaps the water source is abundant, and the grasses and trees near the lake are more lush than other places. There are scattered fireflies flying among the vigorous grass.

The moon and galaxy in the sky are reflected in the lake at this time, as if there is another galaxy hidden in the lake, which is as beautiful as a fairyland.

An Changqing got off his horse and walked around the lake in amazement. Xiao Zhige let Taxue go to play, Yibu tended to follow him.

“This place is so beautiful, how did the prince find this place?”

After finding a (dry gan) big stone by the lake, An Changqing brushed off the sand and dust and sat down, looking up at Xiao Zhige with a smile.

“I used to camp around here when I was marching.” Xiao Zhige sat down beside him and slowly told him about the past (fafa).

At that time, he had just joined the army, and he was just a small soldier with little reputation. His army was transferred from Yanzhou to Liangzhou, and when he was not marching at night, he would be stationed here to rest not far away. He was not old at that time, and he was far less calm than he is now. Was awakened in the middle of the night by a few soldiers from the same camp, sneaking out (touching Mo) (touching Mo) to find food.

They were all half-and-half children. Although they were full during the day, they were not hungry. When the stomach groaned in the evening, they remembered that there was a lake here, so they asked their friends to sneak out to catch fish. When you are full, you will sleep by the lake, and then sneak back to the barracks before dawn.

“I got to know Chang Zaichang here.” It was Chang Zaichang who took the lead in teasing him out to catch fish.

Just before they were happy for a few days, they heard that Liangzhou was in an emergency situation. They rushed to support them, but unexpectedly the loss was heavy. Only he and Chang Zaichang were still alive.

“It was very bitter then?” An Changqing asked softly when he looked at him and fell into the memory.

He still holds a man’s hand in his hand. The palms of these two hands are broad, and the ten fingers are slender and powerful. They should be very beautiful hands, but for many years, holding the gun (to kill the enemy) has made the knuckles thicker and the palms are covered with tiger mouths. The cocoon is very rough to the touch. An Changqing had seen the hands of the prince and the third prince, they were all white and delicate, and could not find a trace of the wound.

The pampered prince was supposed to be the prince and the third prince. Only Xiao Zhige has suffered from childhood.

Xiao Zhige shook his head and said with a smile: “Bitter, but it’s worth it.”

“If you want to get one thing, you have to exchange it with something else.”

When he said this, Xiao Zhige kept his eyes locked on An Changqing. Before the age of twenty, he did experience hardships and tasted the warmth and coldness. But he always remembered what his mother and concubine told him: People in this world have their own lives, some people are sweet first and then bitter, and some people are bitter and sweet later. Although my son has been bumpy since he was a child, he will surely come when the suffering is over. You have to be patient and wait, don’t worry.

Xiao Zhige always remembered the words his mother concubine told him.

He feels that An Changqing is his “suffering and happy.” He used the ups and downs of the first two decades for the rest of his life to be stable and smooth without loss.

An Changqing didn’t know what he was thinking, but he saw his expression (color) condensed, and after thinking about it, he reached out (touching Mo) (touching Mo) (touching Mo) in the oil paper bag in his purse, and (touching Mo) came out a round and round shape. The pine nut candy came into his mouth.

“I will not suffer anymore if I am here in the future.”

The sweet smell of candy spread on the tip of his tongue, Xiao Zhige looked down at him, and saw An Changqing smile at him crookedly: “Is it sweet?”

Xiao Zhige’s eyes (color) were dark, and he lowered his head (kiss wen) in a bewitched manner, and put the pine nut candy into his mouth, muttering in a low voice: “Sweet, you taste it.”

An Changqing held the pine nut candy in his mouth, and looked at his face close at hand, his heart beaten vigorously, like a big drum, and his head was dizzy from the noise.

In order to conceal her panic, An Changqing crunched the pine nut candy and swallowed it, then stretched out a small tongue to signal: “Nothing.”

—He means, this is the last pine nut in his purse.

However, Xiao Zhige didn’t pay attention to what he meant. His eyes were fixed on the tip of the pale red tongue that stretched out and then retracted. He couldn’t help itching in his throat, and lowered his head to taste it again.

The slight sweetness circulates between the two people, and even the breath is the sweetness of pine nuts.

An Changqing pressed against his (chest xiong) mouth and pushed the person away to gasp.

Xiao Zhige pressed his back and whispered in his ear: “It’s still very sweet.”

An Changqing glared at him, raised her hand and wiped her mouth, and said dullly, “Nonsense, don’t kiss anymore.”

Xiao Zhige’s Adam’s apple rolled, his eyes darkened, his fingers dexterously counted the joints of his back, and he asked in a low voice, “I gave you the recipe last time, but did you follow it? How come I haven’t seen you use it since I came to Yanzhou ?”

Unexpectedly to hear this, An Changqing’s eyes widened, her face (color) flushed rapidly, and she stammered for a long time before she said a complete sentence: “…Used, used up.”

When he was in Yejing, he used jade to raise the temperature according to the prescription. After the six small jade rods were used up, he followed the described breathing method and performed contraction exercises before going to bed every day. This method is concealed. When he did it, he didn’t have the nerve to tell Xiao Zhige, he naturally didn’t know.

Seeing his reddish neck, Xiao Zhige chuckled lightly and said, “After we return to Yanzhou, shall we round the house?”

There were too many concerns before, and he endured it for too long. Now it is almost impossible to restrain it.

An Changqing glanced at him slantingly and muttered in a low voice, “I didn’t know who refused to round the house at the beginning.”

Xiao Zhige was dumbfounded, and after a while he gave him a soft kiss (kiss wen): “It’s me who is wrong. Here, give me another chance, okay?”

“I’m going to see Taxue.” An Changqing got up quickly, did not answer this question, and ran to Taxue’s edge, grabbing the reins and talking about him: “Didn’t you say you want to teach me to ride a horse? Up?”

Xiao Zhige laughed, got up and walked towards him.

…

When the two came back, the subordinates who went hunting also came back, and they were roasting the hare they caught on the fire.

An Changqing sat on the horse, Xiao Zhige holding the reins, and the two slowly walked over from a distance. The subordinates were surprised and muttered in their hearts: Have they ever seen the Northern Warlord be so gentle to whom? Sure enough, becoming a pro is not the same.

All of them hung their heads and pretended to be concentrating on roasting rabbits, glancing at the corner of their eyes.

Only Chang Zai Chang Shen (Lose) became more and more painful, and reminded him sourly: “We are going to fight with Xi Deng people (gan gan), not for you to talk about love!”

An Changqing was a little embarrassed when she heard the words, and her face (color) was slightly red.

Xiao Zhige squinted at him, his voice coldly said, “Say one more thing, and you can go and talk to the Xiuren by yourself.”

This was Chang Zaichang’s dead spot, he shut up instantly, and rolled back to his place in a desperate manner.

There happened to be a subordinate who was roasting (meat rou) beside him, and he looked pretty. Chang Zaichang sat by the fire and stared at people, with a solemn expression and he didn’t know what he was thinking. When he stared at his subordinates’ hands starting to tremble, he suddenly said, “How good are men and men?”

The subordinate shook his hand, and the half-baked rabbit fell into the fire.

…

(Exposure) Overnight, just after dawn the next day, the group packed up and drove on the road. In the afternoon of the same day, I finally arrived in Liangzhou.

Although Liangzhou and Yanzhou are close to each other, the difference is not small. Exotic people with high noses and deep eyes can be seen everywhere in the city, and there is a lot of difference between the clothes of the common people and that of Daye.

Xiao Zhige explained to him: “Liangzhou is adjacent to Xideng. Many Xideng tribesmen who have suffered humiliation in Xidang have all sneaked to Liangzhou.” Although they did not have a household registration in Liangzhou, It is also better than being bullied and oppressed in the West Dung, as a livestock trade (strong qiang). Many Xiyu people settled in Liangzhou this way, and some even became biological children with the Daye people. Only after this generation merged, the Liangzhou is now born.

Due to the integration of the West Dung people, it also brought a lot of West Dung customs and traditions, which gradually influenced the people of Liangzhou, making Liangzhou today look very exotic. An Changqing looked at the small vendors on the streets on both sides, dazzled.

When he entered the city and went to Chang Zaichang’s residence, Xiao Zhige wanted to discuss with Chang Zaichang about dealing with the West Dung. An Changqing was fine, so he took a guard and went to the city for a transit.

It is also located in the border, but Liangzhou is obviously more lively than Yanzhou. Because of its location and Xiao Zhige’s location in the three states of Yebei, Yanzhou has always been the city most hated by Beidi and the most frequent wars. So naturally there is no lively and prosperous Liangzhou Chenzhou.

An Changqing took people around and saw a lot of interesting gadgets. After strolling two streets, I came across a teahouse with a dung dancer dancing with a monkey. An Changqing looked at the strangeness, and took people in for a tea break and rest.

The tea in Liangzhou is also different from ordinary tea. The tea here is not tea, but a variety of spices and medicinal materials. The taste is a bit salty. At first, it is a bit uncomfortable to drink, but if you drink two more sips, you can **** it again (touch Mo) Out of incense.

After drinking two cups of tea and watching the monkey dancing again, An Changqing saw that it was late, and got up to go back. After leaving the house, I saw a lot of people on the opposite side of the teahouse, and there was still a vague murmur of men.

Looking through the gap in the crowd, I saw a big Han holding bamboo chips smoking a young girl. The little girl is about ten years old, she wears very little on her head, her shoulders and arms are (exposed), and her legs are covered with leather covers like fish tails. He was kneeling next to a large water tank, holding his arms trembling.

An Changqing frowned, squeezed into the crowd, and listened to the surrounding discussion before she figured out the whole story.

It turns out that this is a pair of prostitution father and daughter. The little girl is wearing fishtail suits, pretending to be a mackerel, performing juggling in a large water tank. It is said that the little girl failed to hold her breath during the performance just now, and made a mistake, the big man became angry and punished her.

Although I can’t bear to look at them, they are fathers and daughters, and passers-by are not busy with their business. Just be around you to persuade each other. But the big man became more and more energetic, saying that his family was poor and that the child’s mother was seriously ill and waiting for money to cure his illness, but the child couldn’t even do this thing well.

The little girl hugged her arms and hung her head, knelt on the ground wet and wet, without saying a word.

It wasn’t until the big guy said, “I worked so hard to raise her so big,” that the little girl suddenly raised her head and said bitterly: “You are not my father! I was not raised by you!”

The big man gave her a loud voice and then slapped her fiercely: “I told you to talk nonsense! I am not your father who is?!”

The little girl was shaking with twitching, but still insisted: “You are not!”

The man was very angry and picked up the small wooden stool next to the water tank to smash her, but was stopped by An Changqing first. Signaling the guard to separate the people, An Changqing guarded the little girl behind her, and said angrily: “Why did you do this to your father?!”

The big man saw that he was dressed well and brought a guard with him. He was a little bit faint, but he still stalked his neck and said, “You, don’t mind your nostalgia, this is my housework!”

An Changqing ignored him, frowned and helped the little girl up, only to find that she had fishtails on her legs. She couldn’t stand up at all, so she could only sit on the ground first, and (take off tuo) her robe. She put it on.

“You just said he wasn’t your father?”

The little girl glanced at him hesitantly, seeming to tell if he was a bad person. An Changqing looked at her gently, waiting patiently for her to answer.

She probably didn’t think An Changqing looked like a bad person, so she nodded and said: “He is not my father, my father is dead long ago. I was bought by him.”

When the little girl said that, people who watched the excitement stopped (gan gan), and began to point to the big man. If it’s a father and daughter, they won’t be able to take care of other people’s housework. But now that they knew that they weren’t his own, what this big man said just deceived them, and everyone began to be filled with righteous indignation.

An Changqing looked at the child, thought about it, and then asked, “How much did you buy? I will give you the money, and I will take this child away.”

The big man was a little bit reluctant, but this kid made a lot of money for him, and it was a cash cow that could make money for a long time. He hesitated: “Where can (qiang) buy (qiang) sell?”

An Changqing couldn’t bear to grind his lips with him, and glanced at the guard around him. The guard looked cold, and the long knife was out of its sheath, looking at him badly.

The big man panicked and saw that he was not easy to provoke, and quickly said: “Sell! I sell! Five hundred taels, I bought it at five hundred taels.”

“He was talking nonsense, he only spent fifty taels of silver!” The little girl said in a clear voice.

The big man choked and stared at her viciously.

An Changqing took out five taels of silver and threw it to him, and asked the guard to pick up the thin and small child and take it home. As he was about to leave, someone stopped him behind him: “This son, please stay.”

An Changqing paused, then turned around, only to see a young man in Tsing Yi with a smile at the corner of his mouth and a very handsome appearance, but he looked a little frail, with a beautiful maid on his side.

“Sir, something?”

“This child wears a fishtail cover on his leg. If it is not removed in time, it may hurt his leg.”

An Changqing was taken aback and followed his fingers to look at the child. The fishtail sleeve started from the waist and wrapped tightly around the legs, with almost no gap in sight. Looking at the little girl, she has been biting her lips tightly. Although she has not spoken, her lips have been bitten so white.

“My maid will take this thing. If the son doesn’t mind, you can find a place to take the fishtail from the child’s leg first.”

An Changqing pondered for a moment, thinking that she had brought a guard, but this man only brought a maid, there should be no danger. He nodded and walked into Fangcai’s teahouse nearby, and asked Xiao Er to prepare a room for them.

Although the little girl is not very old, she is a girl, and it is not good to take fishtail suits in the public.

After entering the wing, the maid picked the child up to the screen and went to get her fishtail sleeves on her legs. An Changqing and the young man were outside drinking tea and waiting. The young man was very talkative and took the initiative to report to his house.

“My surname is Xue, but the single name is Yi. I don’t know how the son is called?”

“My name is An, my name is Nuo.”

People who are unfamiliar in the place of life are being touched up on the initiative, and An Changqing has taken precautions after all.

Xue Yidao: “Look at Young Master An, you are not from Liangzhou, right?”

An Changqing didn’t say where he was from, but said, “Yes, there is something wrong with coming to Liangzhou.”

The two chatted casually, and the maid came out holding the child. The child was wrapped in An Changqing’s robe, and his face was a little red.

The maid had no expression on her face, and told Xue Yi back: “The fishtail cover has been taken off and it didn’t hurt the leg, but this is a boy, not a girl.”

An Changqing was surprised, and subconsciously went to see the child. This child is very good-looking, because he is young and has some indisputable beauty, but a large red (color) fish scale birthmark grows under the left eye, which destroys this beauty.

The little boy looked at An Changqing nervously: “He told me to pretend to be a girl, saying that this is so popular.”

“He” naturally refers to the big man who bought him.

An Changqing suddenly understood, stepped forward (touched Mo) (touched Mo) his head, took his hand, and said to Xue Yi: “Since the matter has been resolved and there is still something in my family, I will take a step. Thank you today. Brother Xue.”

Xue Yi laughed: “You are welcome, Brother An, go slowly. We are destined to meet again.”

An Changqing nodded to him and left with the little boy.

Behind him, Xue Yi didn’t turn around and leave until he couldn’t see him. The maid Ji Xue followed him every step of the way, and whispered: “Master, don’t you want to go back? Chang Zaichang has already brought people back.”

Xue Yi, that is, Xue Wuyi faintly smiled and said, “It’s time to go back. Chang Zaichang is back, and the Northern War King should also be here.”

Ji Xuedao: “Can I prepare a carriage?”

“Don’t hurry.” Xue Wuyi waved his hand and asked suddenly: “Jixue, do you think there will be two people who are not related (gan gan) but look exactly the same in this world?”

Ji Xue shook her head and said, “The slave servant has never seen it before.”

Xue Wuyi pondered for a moment, and said, “Send someone to look up the history of this Anno.”

“Yes.”

The author has something to say: Chang Zaichang: We have to chat about the West Dung.

Counsel (impatient): What a fart! After finishing the fight, I hurried back to the round room.
