Chapter 576: The Queen eats a lot and has a strange temper.
Completely confused, Lian Qiao looked up at her mother, blinking, feeling a little aggrieved.
Wu He touched his son gently with an embarrassed look on his face, then looked at Liu Baishi even more embarrassedly.
Lian Xinglan and Su Qingning, who also walked in at this time, naturally knew that this was a misunderstanding. Lian Xinglan looked helpless and looked at Su Qingning beside him.
Su Qingning also knew that she had gotten into trouble again, so she immediately turned her head away and pretended nothing had happened.
Lian Xinglan shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
The children of the Su family are more interesting than each other. The queen is so perfect that it is a bit outrageous.
The second brother has just been met. The third brother is always on his mind. And Su Wan'er doesn't even need to think too much when practicing sword. She can learn it after a while. Her father is reluctant to let her go.
I don't know about the others.
Thinking of this, Lian Xinglan thought of his two children. The eldest was okay, but the second child
Lian Xinglan sighed and looked at Lian Qiao. Well, as long as you are alive, that’s enough.
At the same time, he also glanced at Lian Qiao's sword. There was some improvement. The sword energy did not increase, but the sword intent was stronger. The corners of his mouth rose slightly.
Lian Qiao has to go through a lot of things to hone his sword skills in order to hone his sword skills. He also needs to be resolute and forge ahead. This means he has found someone he wants to protect with the sword.
Lian Xinglan looked up at Liu Baishi who was a little restrained.
Looking at Liu Baishi, Lian Xinglan fell silent.
"What are you doing standing there?" Wu He turned around and looked at Lian Xinglan.
Lian Xinglan looked at Liu Baishi in deep thought.
Liu Baishi noticed that Lian Xinglan looked very similar to Lian Qiao, so he naturally guessed that he must be Lian Qiao's father. Now that Lian Xinglan was looking at him like this, Liu Baishi became even more nervous.
After all, this was a sudden meeting and there was no preparation at all. And being looked at like this with such a serious look, Liu Baishi bit her lip lightly, wondering if the leader of Tianzhi Pavilion did not approve of her.
After all, although I am not a prostitute, I am also from a red-light district.
While thinking this, Liu Baishi clutched his clothes.
Su Qingning looked at Liu Baishi. She had seen Liu Baishi once, so she was not unfamiliar with him. However, this was the first time she had seen Liu Baishi like this. She couldn't help but feel a little curious. Wasn't this the same as the second sister just now? Would a woman be like this when she met the parents of her lover?
Well, I certainly wouldn't.
Wu He noticed Liu Baishi's nervousness and glared at Lian Xinglan: "What are you looking at?"
Lian Xinglan didn't say anything. He just breathed a sigh of relief and walked to the table and sat down. Then he looked at Liu Baishi and said, "Miss Baishi, right?"
Liu Baishi nodded immediately: "Yes, yes."
Lian Xinglan asked seriously, "Why did you take a fancy to my boy? Were you threatened or something? I know your story. You are not an ordinary person. You should not be so interested in our Tianzhi Pavilion. Besides, the conditions are so good. If you really want to find someone, there are many people. My boy! I am too lazy to say anything. So if you are really threatened or have any problems, tell me and I will settle it for you."
Liu Baishi was stunned for a moment and tilted his head: "Ah?"
Lian Qiao blinked, not quite understanding.
Wu He immediately scolded upon hearing this: "What are you talking about! How can you talk about your own son like that?"
But that's all.
Wu He pushed Lian Qiao aside, sat on the stool, and took Liu Baishi's hand, saying seriously: "Although Tianzhi Pavilion is big, it will not bully people. You just need to tell me what happened or if you were coerced. Auntie will make the decision for you and will never let you suffer any grievances."
Liu Baishi wanted to talk but stopped himself, not knowing how to describe the two parents in front of him, but he had an inexplicable feeling in his heart that they were definitely his biological parents.
Su Qingning, who had been watching, was stunned, because this plot seemed to have been seen in the storybook written by the elder sister, where the father-in-law and mother-in-law came to see the future daughter-in-law, but were not satisfied with the result, so they tried every means to make the woman leave, and even threw a box of gold or something to blind the woman's eyes, so that the woman took the money and left her son.
Now that Wu He said this, is he trying to force Liu Baishi to leave Lianqiao? Wait, Senior Wu doesn't seem to be that kind of person. He's a pretty good person, but... if it comes to Lianqiao, will he be like the evil mother-in-law in the elder sister's storybook? Well, it's possible.
That.
Su Qingning looked at the silly Lian Qiao, then at Liu Baishi, and wondered whether I should take action. What was the thing to do at such a time in the elder sister's storybook?
Su Qingning fell into deep thought.
Lian Qiao on the side had understood and said immediately, "Dad! Mom! It's Miss Liu that I'm pursuing. She didn't say that she likes me, but I'm still trying to make her like me. Don't force her to say these things. It's so embarrassing for her. Besides, my liking for her is a matter between her and me, so don't get involved. My sister is dating Su Linhan, so go check on her and take care of your eldest daughter."
As she spoke, Lian Qiao had already walked to Liu Baishi's side and stood in front of her.
Liu Baishi looked at Lian Qiao in front of him and smiled. Why did he fall in love with her? It seemed that it was because of this.
After all, if anything happens, this person is standing in front of you.
Wu He and Lian Xinglan were both stunned.
But no one knows a child better than his parents, especially in a family like Lian Qiao's.
Wu He noticed Liu Baishi laughing behind Lian Qiao, and said nothing more, but rolled his eyes at Lian Qiao: "You're contradicting me now. Are you not willing to eat the food I cook after you get married?"
Lian Qiao is about to speak.
Su Qingning walked forward at this time.
Lian Qiao looked at Su Qingning.
Su Qingning pointed at Lian Qiao and looked at Wu He with a serious face: "Senior Wu, your son is a good man. For Liu Baishi, he is not willing to play with women. He even stopped taking Prince An to climb over the wall of the Imperial College to see those female students. So, he definitely likes Liu Baishi very much. I can testify to this!"
Quiet~~
Then, Lian Xinglan stood up, put his hand on the hilt of the sword behind him and looked at Lian Qiao: "Hmm?"
…
Su Zhaoxin stood on the top of a small mountain outside the border between Daxia and Tubo. Having grown up in the capital, he had never seen such a scene. At first glance, although it was prosperous, the view had never been so broad.
After the thirteen-year-old fifth young master of the Su family came here, he liked the feeling of being up high and looking far, and he felt very comfortable.
Just as Su Zhaoxin was looking at the grassland in front of him in the afterglow of the setting sun.
One of the people behind him cursed, "What are you standing there for? Come here quickly, the lamb leg is almost ready."
Hearing this, Su Zhaoxin immediately turned around and saw that Brother Huzi had already picked up the lamb leg, which was sizzling with oil. Especially when Brother Huzi sprinkled a handful of chili peppers on it, Su Zhaoxin's mouth was watering and he immediately ran over.
Brother Huzi is from Wuyingguan here. He is about seventeen or eighteen years old and is the oldest among the kids sitting by the campfire.
After Daxia defeated the enemy in the battle in Mobei, the late emperor moved his army to the southwest and appointed Zhao Wuxiu as the commander-in-chief. Zhao Wuxiu led the Daxia army to expel all the Tibetans who wanted to stab them in the back, and after penetrating deep into the hinterland and inflicting heavy damage on Tibet, Tibet has been law-abiding over the years.
But in recent years, Tubo has come to harass from time to time, especially in the past one or two years, its actions have become more and more frequent.
Hu Zi's parents died in the defense of Wuying last year. Su Zifan originally wanted to send Hu Zi and many other children to Liuzhou, but some children were willing to go. However, there were also some like Hu Zi who were willing to stay. After picking up his parents' armor, he also joined the army.
There were three other people beside the campfire.
When Su Zhaoxin leaned over and stared at the lamb leg, someone cursed, "You're so greedy, and you came from the capital. Such things are rare in the capital. You're bringing shame to us Beijingers!"
Su Zhaoxin chuckled. He had lost weight indeed since he came here with his parents, although it had only been a month or two. It wasn't that he ate less, but Su Zhaoxin himself wanted to conceal his identity. Then he joined the camp of child soldiers in Wuyingguan, trained every day, and ate the same rations as everyone else. It wasn't that the food was bad, but the training was too strict.
As for the child soldiers, to put it bluntly, they just help with logistics and get supplies. They don’t have to go to the battlefield, but their daily training cannot be weak.
The man who was speaking was called Zhang Lu. He also came here from Luoan, but he came here two years ago. He said that he came here secretly with his brother, but his brother also died at the hands of the Tibetans. He did not go home, but stayed here.
But later, Su Zhaoxin found out that Zhang Lu didn't go home because he was afraid that his family would know the news of his eldest brother's death. He received a salary as a child soldier here, which he sent back home every month, and then he learned his eldest brother's handwriting to write letters to his family.
Moreover, Zhang Lu and his elder brother ran away secretly for the purpose of defending their country, making achievements, and then marrying their sister to a good man. In this way, they would no longer be poor and their lives would be better.
The exceptionally fair and pretty Song Xiaowu said, "Oh! You are so great from the capital, but I am from Guangling! It is a place for scholars."
While speaking, Song Xiaowu looked at Zhang Lu and said, "I'm a popular kid, and I can read. Just write your own name."
The "Hong Xiaodi" he is talking about is Su Zhaoxin, who used a pseudonym, Hong Xin.
Song Xiaobu is only three years older than Su Zhaoxin, and is sixteen this year. He is from Guangling. No one knows why he came here, but everyone around the campfire knows the secret.
Song Xiaowu is a girl, and she definitely ran away here secretly. It seems like she is hiding from something, so she disguised herself as a man and hid among the child soldiers.
It was Hu Zi who secretly told Su Zhaoxin about this, and only the three of them knew about it, so they just assumed that Song Xiaowu was a man.
When Zhang Lu heard what Song Xiaowu said, he immediately said, "Bullshit! You sissy! I will also write the names of the three of you soon!"
Song Xiaowu continued to be sarcastic after hearing this: "Oh, that's amazing. After learning for a month, you can even write our names. Hong Xin taught you so seriously. You really have the nerve to say that."
At the end, Song Xiaowu looked at Su Zhaoxin again and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Zhang Lu was so angry that he gave his hand to Hu Zi and asked Hu Zi to hold him, then he pretended to rush up and hit Song Xiaowu.
Hu Zi shook his head helplessly and let go of his hand.
Zhang Lu, who was originally cursing and about to deal with Song Xiaowu, felt that no one was holding him back and almost rushed over. Fortunately, he stopped in time, then gave his hand to Hu Zi, and then started yelling again.
Su Zhaoxin smiled foolishly. He had seen this kind of noise a lot since he arrived here and had long been used to it.
And Su Zhaoxin really likes this kind of lively atmosphere.
Hu Zi saw that the lamb leg was almost done roasting, so he took out a knife and said, "Everyone, sit down. Are you ready to eat? I spent a lot of money to buy this to celebrate our little brother Hong's official joining our Wuying Pass. If you want to make trouble, you two should get out of here and stop ruining the fun for me and Hong Xin."
After hearing Hu Zi's words, Zhang Lu and Song Xiaowu finally calmed down.
Hu Zi distributed the mutton to the three people who were his younger brothers and sisters one by one, and then took off the leather bag around his waist. The three people's eyes lit up when they saw the leather bag, because it was filled with wine!
Hu Zi laughed and scolded, "Water! It's not wine. What are you dreaming of? Our rules don't allow us to drink alcohol. We can't break it even today."
The three of them immediately became depressed.
Su Zhaoxin didn't drink before, but when he came here he joined the others to drink. He didn't drink much, but he didn't know why the taste was very different when he drank with a few people. It seemed to taste a lot better than when he drank secretly in the capital.
Zhang Lu took a bite of mutton, and the corners of his mouth were full of oil. Then he said, "Brother, in two months, you will officially join the personal guard of our General Hong and General Su."
Hu Zi nodded: "Yes, it is said to be next month."
The sun has set. In the night, the campfire shines on Hu Zi's face, and you can see that Hu Zi does not look happy.
Zhang Lu smiled and said, "That's great. If I were as brave as you, Brother Hu, I would definitely be favored by General Hong and General Su. I heard that the royal guards get much more money than us."
Song Xiaowu was a woman after all, and could see Hu Zi's worry, so she said, "Brother, don't you want to go?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Lu immediately said, "How can I do that?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, Song Xiaowu immediately scolded: "Eat your meat!"
Su Zhaoxin nodded: "That's right, second brother, eat your meat quickly and stop talking!"
Zhang Lu curled his lips and looked at Su Zhaoxin, feeling that this bastard was not loyal. Fortunately, he had something good in mind for him and was on Song Xiaowu's side!
Hu Zi looked up at Song Xiaowu and smiled, and even patted Zhang Lu on the shoulder: "It's not that I'm unhappy. To be liked by General Su and General Hong, to be honest, I have already made my parents proud. And I am also happy to be able to protect General Hong and General Su. But what I said is, I will go to the Vanguard Camp first."
After hearing this, Zhang Lu stopped talking.
Su Zhaoxin looked at Hu Zi and knew that going to the Vanguard Camp had always been Hu Zi's idea, simply because the Vanguard Camp was always at the forefront of every charge, and Hu Zi was willing to go there because his parents were the squad leaders of the Vanguard Camp, and Hu Zi went there to kill Tibetans in the Vanguard Camp to avenge his parents.
Su Zhaoxin said, "Brother, it is easier to kill Tibetans when you are with General Su and General Hong, especially General Su. Although I have not experienced fighting, I heard from the old soldiers that General Su always charges the most fiercely. You will definitely be able to kill a lot of Tibetans."
Hu Zi laughed and scolded after hearing this: "Do you need to tell me? I went through it with General Su! But it's nothing. Besides, from what I can see, I have to protect you guys. You just wait. When I get promoted to general, the four of us brothers will make great achievements together."
Zhang Lu grinned and said, "When the time comes, I will introduce my sister to you. Hey! My sister is so beautiful."
Song Xiaowu kicked Zhang Lu on the butt: "Get lost! Brother Huzi, are you in need of a woman?"
Zhang Lu touched his butt and glared at Song Xiaowu. “Brother Huzi has no shortage of women, but if you are not a woman, I will beat you to death!”
Hu Zi smiled and said, "Stop joking, stop joking, but there is something I am actually quite curious about."
As he spoke, Hu Zi looked at Su Zhaoxin and said, "Old Fourth, are the women in the capital really that beautiful? And they are also so beautiful during the Lantern Festival?"
After that, Hu Zi pointed at Zhang Lu and said, "This kid is very good at bragging, but it's too fake. He can't even continue. A few days ago, I heard the old brothers who went back to the capital with General Su talking about how great the capital is. They said that the Lantern Festival is very beautiful. The fireworks are the best I've ever seen. And the Queen, is she really that beautiful?"
Su Zhaoxin chewed the meat and swallowed it in one gulp, but he ate too quickly. Hu Zi saw it and immediately handed him some water.
After a few gulps, Su Zhaoxin felt much more comfortable.
At the same time, Song Xiaowu scolded with a smile: "Eat slowly, there is plenty of time to talk."
As he said that, he put the lean meat in his hand onto Su Zhaoxin's plate.
Zhang Lu said, "Tell them if I am bragging or not! The fireworks covered the entire capital, and the beautiful young ladies from the noble families were drooling when they saw it!"
Su Zhaoxin was about to speak, but when he looked at the three people in front of him, he remembered the way his elder sister chatted with others, so he smiled and said, "Second brother, you just like to brag. There are no fireworks big enough to cover the entire capital. However, it is true that there are a lot of fireworks on the night of the Lantern Festival. As for whether a woman is pretty or not, it is just that. Brother Huzi, if you are curious, when we go home, I will ask my brother to take us to the Flower Street!"
Zhang Lu’s eyes lit up.
Hu Zi pursed his lips.
Song Xiaowu, on the other hand, snatched the meat from Su Zhaoxin's plate and said, "Huajie! You are so young and you don't learn from your mistakes! I'm so good to you!"
Su Zhaoxin looked at Song Xiaowu in confusion, "Third brother, I didn't say I wouldn't take you with me."
Song Xiaowu raised his fist and was about to hit Su Zhaoxin, but he immediately shut up and wondered, even if you are a woman, there are other women playing there, so it won't be a problem.
Zhang Lu was curious: "Old Four, is your brother rich?"
Su Zhaoxin shook his head: "No, I'm just a small businessman, and I'm very stingy. But don't worry, you are my brothers, and I will definitely treat you very well."
Zhang Lu looked expectant, but immediately asked, "What about the Queen? Is she really that pretty? Or is she number one on the Rouge Ranking?"
Su Zhaoxin chewed the mutton and said, "It's pretty good looking, but it's just so-so. It's not as good as people say. Besides, it has a weird temper and eats a lot."
Song Xiaowu laughed and scolded, "You're talking as if you've seen the Queen. I heard from the people in the military camp that he was the one who got the colored armor, the thirteenth one, and he even got first place in the poetry list or something."
Su Zhaoxin was about to speak, but then he realized he couldn't say more.
Hu Zi smiled and said, "We brothers will definitely go to the capital after the war is over. When the time comes, second brother, we will go to your house first, and then we will go to fourth brother's house. But we have a deal, third brother and I won't pay a penny, you two will pay for it all."
Zhang Lu grinned, "Of course! We've already come to my territory and asked you to pay. How shameless of me to do that? Don't worry about it, Lao Si. I'll take care of it all! And if you like my sister, brother Hu, just get married and do it!"
Su Zhaoxin laughed.
When the time comes, take the three brothers to the old man and brag to him!
Song Xiaowu turned his head and looked to the west: "But when will the war end? Although the Tibetans have been quiet in the past few months, they can't stay quiet forever."
Hearing this, Hu Zi and the other two fell silent.
"We can finish the battle." Hu Zi's expression was firm. "Once all the damn Tibetans are dead, the war will be over! Then we can have a good drink in Luoan City."
Zhang Lu smiled and nodded.
Su Zhaoxin smiled while eating mutton.
Song Xiaowu thought for a moment and said, "Actually, we can also go to my house when the time comes. We just need to wait for you, Brother Huzi, to become a general, or even a lieutenant."
Hu Zi was stunned: "Why?"
Zhang Lu immediately said, "Support me!"
After Su Zhaoxin thought about it, he nodded: "That's right, support the third brother!"
Hu Zi also thought it was this and immediately said, "Okay! I'll try my best!"
Song Xiaowu rolled his eyes, not knowing what to say, but smiled and said, "That's right, just support me, and then we'll see who dares to bully me! And when I tell you who to beat, you just go up and beat them, and don't show any mercy!"
Hu Zi laughed, and Zhang Lu and Su Zhaoxin nodded in agreement.
Song Xiaowu smiled, picked up the leather bag and went to drink water.
whoosh!
But at this moment, a sharp arrow pierced the leather bag.
