Chapter 821 Inviting Two Women to Travel
Su Mingzhe went to Hongshu and told him about Cao Changqing.
"Cao Changqing wanted to lead the army to fight in order to help the Western Chu lineage and increase his voice in the court."
"The Queen has already agreed, and I am embarrassed to refuse her."
"So, this imperial expedition may be cancelled."
"It's alright, Your Majesty!"
After listening to the man's explanation, Hongshu was as gentle and considerate as ever.
Seeing the man's apologetic expression, Hongshu felt a warm current in his heart:
"Your Majesty, I have said it before. For me, what happened in the past is in the past. It doesn't matter whether I seek revenge or not. All military and political affairs should be based on the interests of the Great Shu Kingdom first."
Seeing Hongshu being so gentle and sensible, Su Mingzhe was naturally very satisfied:
"If Cao Changqing decides to take charge of the Western Regions, let him do it."
"As for the old accounts with Mount Nalanda in the Western Region and Northern Liang, let's wait two more years before settling them!"
After finishing the business, Su Mingzhe decided to reward Hongshu well.
Previously, in order to ensure that the eldest son was born from the Queen, Su Mingzhe had resorted to some tricks when communicating with other concubines.
Now that Jiang Ni has given birth to the eldest son, other concubines can also become pregnant.
Hongshu has a special physique. She has a unique fragrance since she was a child, and she has snow-white skin and a soft and tender body.
Every time Su Mingzhe asked Hongshu to sleep with him, his emotions would get out of control and he would not be satisfied until he died.
That is why, although Hongshu was relatively favored, he never dared to sleep alone.
It was a night of fun and pleasure.
On the second day.
Su Mingzhe returned to the imperial study in a good mood. Looking at the empty table next to him, he couldn't help but sigh:
"Wang Chengen, is Concubine Yu still angry?"
Wang Chengen saw that the emperor looked unhappy, and quickly replied:
"Your Majesty, Concubine Yu is still staying in the Golden Dragon Palace and refuses to come out."
"It's been five months, why haven't you figured it out yet?"
Su Mingzhe sighed, turned and walked out of the imperial study, and headed towards the Golden Dragon Palace.
Five months ago.
That was the early winter of the third year of Emperor Guangwu’s reign.
Once, Xu Weixiong went to Jinyiwei to do some work and went into the warehouse to check the files of the main figures of various forces in the world.
She accidentally saw a volume with the name "Xu Weixiong" written on it under the name of the Great Shu Kingdom, and couldn't help but pull it out and take a look.
It turned out that it was not a big deal to watch it, but after she finished watching it, she almost had a mental breakdown!
"Xu Weixiong, the second daughter of Ye Baikui, the 'armor' of the 13th Armor of the Spring and Autumn Period. When she was two years old, she was abducted by Wu Su, the princess of Beiliang, along with her mother and elder sister. The princess wanted to use this to force Ye Baikui, the commander of the Western Wall, to surrender."
"After Ye Baikui refused to surrender, Wu Su handed his mother and elder sister over to Chen Zhibao, who ordered his men to drag them for ten miles on horseback and tortured them to death!"
"Ye Baikui saw his wife and daughter being tortured and killed, and vomited three liters of blood. He came out to fight, but was defeated and killed!"
"Wu Su took Xu Weixiong into the Wu family sword tomb, erased his memory, and claimed to be a descendant of the Northern Liang Iron Cavalry..."
Xu Weixiong looked at the detailed information in the file and carefully recalled his childhood memories.
In her memory, when she was a child, her first impression of this world did appear in the Wu Family Sword Tomb.
Later, Wu Su told him that he was a descendant of the soldiers who died in the Northern Liang Iron Cavalry.
Later, she was adopted by Wu Su.
Therefore, Xu Weixiong was grateful to Wu Su and Xu Xiao, and willingly became Xu Fengnian's loyal follower.
As a result, according to the information collected by the Great Shu Kingdom, she has become the daughter of Ye Baikui, the enemy of Xu Xiao and Wu Su.
His parents and older sister were all killed by Xu Xiao, Wu Su, and Chen Zhibao.
When Xu Weixiong saw the content of the information, he was unwilling to believe that it was all true.
After finally calming himself down, Xu Weixiong found Su Mingzhe and asked the man to take him to the west wall to find out the truth.
Su Mingzhe and Xu Weixiong flew three thousand miles overnight and arrived at the ruins of the West Wall.
Xu Weixiong personally dug out the remains of the former "soldier" Ye Baikui and used the ancient method to perform a blood test to test his kinship.
The final result, needless to say.
After returning from Xileibi, Xu Weixiong entered the Golden Dragon Palace and began to practice madly.
Five months passed like this, and Xu Weixiong, who was originally a second-grade junior grandmaster, has now reached the first-grade Great Finger Profound Realm and is sprinting towards the Confucian Heavenly Realm.
When Su Mingzhe arrived at the Golden Dragon Palace, he saw Nangong Pushe and Xu Weixiong sitting cross-legged on the center of a spirit gathering array, absorbing vital energy and strengthening their muscles, bones and blood.
The two women noticed his arrival, but neither of them greeted him. Instead, they continued to practice with their eyes closed.
Su Mingzhe had no choice but to take the initiative to persuade:
"Nangong, Yufei, this practice requires a combination of work and rest. If you keep immersing yourself in practice, be careful not to go astray!"
"Not afraid!"
Xu Weixiong's voice became cold again, chilling to the bone.
Nangong Pushe also replied in a cold tone:
"I feel good now."
Facing these two women, Su Mingzhe could only continue to persuade them: "I have something to discuss with you. How about you stop and take a rest first? How about you eat and chat with me?"
The two women hesitated for a moment, but Nangong Pushe took the lead in giving face and decided to take a day off.
Compared to Xu Weixiong who had just learned about his archenemy Xu Xiao, Nangong Pushe had been carrying a blood feud for more than ten years.
Besides, Nangong Pushe is just a guest staying in the Great Shu Palace now, and it is not good to keep rejecting the host's face.
After a while, Wang Chengen brought wine and food.
The wine is the latest sorghum wine.
The dish is an ordinary braised dish.
The three of us sat cross-legged together, and we drank one cup after another.
Xu Weixiong remained silent and was unwilling to speak.
Su Mingzhe could only pull Nangong Pushe aside to have a chat.
In fact, Nangong Pushe was not willing to chat with Su Mingzhe, but he was embarrassed to make the situation awkward, so he could only agree with him casually.
In this way, the three of them chatted for more than an hour and drank three jars of sorghum wine.
Seeing that both women were tipsy, Su Mingzhe suddenly smiled at them and said:
"Nangong, my beloved, I plan to travel to the land of the former five kingdoms in two months. Do you want to go with me?"
Su Mingzhe called them both "Nangong, beloved concubine" in succession, and it sounded as if he was calling Nangong Pushe "beloved concubine".
Nangong Pushe's eyebrows jumped, and he finally decided not to argue with the man. He turned around and asked doubtfully:
"Which Five Kingdoms are we going to?"
Su Mingzhe stretched out his fingers and counted:
"Great Wei, Western Chu, Southern Yan, Southern Tang, Eastern Yue!"
Among these six countries, the former Wei State is now the Northern Liang and Qingzhou area.
Southern Tang was located east of Nanzhao and south of Qingzhou.
Southern Yan was located east of Southern Tang and south of Western Chu.
Western Chu was located to the east of the former Wei State, to the south of the Guangling River, to the north of Southern Yan and Southern Tang, and to the west of Dongyue.
Dongyue is located east of Western Chu, at the mouth of the Guangling River.
“As the saying goes, reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles.”
Su Mingzhe advised:
"Instead of staying in the Golden Dragon Palace and working behind closed doors, you two might as well go out for a walk. You might see some strange sights and phenomena, and then you'll have a chance to gain enlightenment, and then your cultivation will advance by leaps and bounds..."
After hearing what the man said, Xu Weixiong rolled his eyes at him again.
Enlightenment is something that can be encountered but not sought after.
It's not as easy as a man says!
Nangong Pushe nodded and agreed:
"I also feel that my cultivation has been slow recently, and I want to go out for a walk!"
"Your Majesty, when you are leaving, remember to call me!"
Nangong Pushe has been practicing in seclusion for more than two years. His cultivation has reached the Celestial Realm, and his strength exceeds that of his enemy Han Diaosi who is at the Great Finger Profound Realm.
The reason she went out this time was actually to kill Han Diaosi first and eliminate an enemy.
As for Xie Guanying, Tuoba Bodhisattva and Wang Xianzhi, they will have to wait a few more years.
After all, the strength of these three people is already at or close to that of land immortals.
She can't compare.
"it is good!"
Su Mingzhe noticed a flash of murderous intent on Nangong Pushe's body, but he didn't pay much attention to it. Then he turned his gaze to Xu Weixiong.
After being stared at by the man for a long time, Xu Weixiong finally chose to compromise:
"I can go out, but I don't want to use the name 'Xu Weixiong' anymore!"
"From now on, my name is Ye Baiyu!"
"what ever."
When Su Mingzhe saw that Xu Weixiong agreed to go out for a walk with him, he excitedly reached out his hand, trying to pull her up from the ground, urging her to go back to the harem to rest.
Xu Weixiong pushed the man away and said expressionlessly:
"I live with Nangong now!"
"Yu Fei does live with me!"
Nangong Pushe and Xu Weixiong had been together day and night for five months, and they had already become like sisters to each other.
Nangong Pushe disguised herself as a man to cover up her mistakes, just to deceive herself.
Whether it was Wang Chengen or Xu Weixiong, they could recognize her true gender at a glance.
Nangong Pushe didn't care about it. In her heart, she was only thinking about revenge and didn't think about other things.
