Chapter 14 Gathering the Cao Mansion


"Yes, my subordinates obey."

Qin Hu raised his head, his eyes, which were originally as sharp as eagle eyes, became dim, and Empress Changsun's words caused deep pain in his heart, those Xuanjia soldiers who had guarded Empress Changsun and Princess Changle into the mountain range before were exhausted by the environment inside.

Their opponents are not enemies with weapons, but the natural environment, elusive beasts, seemingly threatening but extremely deadly poisons, plus miasma or mire that can appear at any time, and most importantly, protect these two ineffective women, all of which add up to not only physically torturing these soldiers, but also mentally suppressing them to the extreme.

You must know that they have never entered such an environment, let alone received similar training, but even so, they have guarded Empress Changsun and Princess Changle unharmed, which is enough to show their strength.

If it weren't for the extreme tiredness, how could the most powerful Xuanjia soldiers in the Tang Dynasty army be killed by a group of Turkic sentinels of a similar number.

And the reason why Qin Hu is sad is because the bodies of these brothers are all left in the mountain range, and after such a long time, I am afraid that they will have been eaten by the fierce beasts in Helan Mountain, even if they are still there, Qin Hu will never let the living soldiers risk entering the depths of the mountain range because of their corpses, because they have a more important mission, that is, to protect the safety of Empress Changsun and Princess Changle.

"Madam, you are going to attend the dinner party in Cao's Mansion in a while, and there will be a lot of people at that time, so I will set up my defenses and set off tomorrow to find that young man."

After Qin Hu finished speaking, he respectfully bowed to Empress Changsun and slowly retreated.

As the sun set below the horizon, the night came completely, and the noise of the entire Cao Mansion also rose to its peak.

The main hall of Cao's mansion, this is the lobby used by Caofu to entertain distinguished guests, at this time, dozens of square tables have been placed on both sides of the lobby, and there is a person sitting behind each square table, either full of official authority, or delicate and elegant, the most conspicuous of which is Hou Xiaobo, who is sitting closest to the main seat.

"Brother Zhice, you are a great talent recognized by the world, and even the imperial court has heard of your talent, and will soon issue a document asking you to be an official.

Hou Xiaobo sat at the bottom left of the main seat, and said to a Confucian scholar in a white robe next to him, who looked like a gentleman, Hou Xiaobo came under the banner of Hou Junlian, so he could only be arranged in the position closest to the main seat, and the guests who could sit in the main hall of the Cao Mansion were either people who controlled the power in the Shan Yu Protectorate, or literati and ink scholars who were famous and prosperous, in short, the people who could enter here were not ordinary people.

"Hou Gongzi is polite, and he is only a little famous, but he can't afford the title of great talent."

Hearing this, Hongzhice stood up and opened the folding fan in his hand with a snap, and the folding fan was painted with extremely delicate landscape paintings, which were extremely conspicuous, and his tone was even more humble.

"As for this Qingping tune, I have indeed heard of it in the next, it is said that it was love at first sight after Li Gongzi saw Miss Cao, and he wrote this poem with some feelings, and he is ashamed of himself."

"Oh, is it the son of Li Yexu who came to the Duhu Mansion a month ago It is said that the son of Li Yexu was the first to explore the way for General Li Jing, and then came to the Duhufu City in advance, and it was also after the arrival of Li Gongzi that the news of Miss Cao's marriage contract came out in Caofu, so this marriage contract is about Miss Cao and Li Gongzi" Everyone immediately talked about it.

"Hmph, Young Master Ben drove Old Ghost Cao to a desperate situation before the banquet began, and everyone was in a desperate situation, I see how he can lead out Lin Zhe's waste who can only read books."

After hearing these discussions, the corners of Hou Xiaobo's mouth were slightly hooked upward, revealing a hint of triumphant smile, and muttered in his heart.

"Madame has arrived, Mrs.

Cao has arrived" Just when the voice of the people had reached its peak, Steward Song walked in outside the door and said to everyone in the lobby, Steward Song had heard everyone's discussion outside, but he did not take these words to heart, but had some ridicule for the people in the lobby in his heart.

Li Yexu has lived in Cao's Mansion for more than a month, and how many brushes he has have already been revealed, if you want to say that the song Qingping is composed by Li Yexu, he will not believe it if he is killed.

"I've seen Mrs.

Cao" The next moment, Mrs.

Cao held the arm of Empress Changsun and walked into the lobby, Princess Changle, Li Yexu, Yu Wenzhe and Cao Lianxin followed behind them, Qin Hu followed closely to the side to guard, until Empress Changsun took Princess Changle to sit on the main seat, and then stood next to Li Yexu.

Madame Cao then walked to the right hand of Empress Changsun and sat down, and Yu Wenzhe and Cao Lianxin stood behind Madame Cao.

As Mrs.

Cao sat down, everyone's faces showed a look of confusion and consternation, the first is that Cao Ming did not come, and the second is that this is clearly the Cao Mansion, but Mrs.

Cao is sitting on a side seat, which shows that the identity of the person who is sitting must be nobler than Mrs.

Cao, and Cao Ming is already the highest-level official in the Shan Yu Metropolitan Protectorate, which is not surprising to everyone.

"My husband temporarily received an urgent official letter, and I have important official business to deal with, so I can't come back later tonight, I'm really sorry for everyone, as for the wife and the husband are old friends, and they have recently traveled to the foot of Helan Mountain, so they live at home."

Madame Cao first saluted the eldest grandson empress, and then explained to everyone in the hall.

"I've seen Madame, my father is Hou Junlian, the guard general of Helan Mountain, and this time I was entrusted by my father to come to congratulate Cao Fu."

Hou Xiaobo forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, and even lowered his head, not daring to look into the eyes of Empress Changsun, and said respectfully.

"Well, feel free to do whatever you want, don't be affected by me being here."

Empress Eldest Sun said gently, and that kind of intellectual and elegant temperament was invisibly emanated.

"Madam, it is Hongzhice in the next, may I ask where Madame is from, and whether you have the honor to know in the next" Hongzhice then got up, suppressed the greed in his eyes, forcibly controlled the voice that was already a little trembling, and arched his hand.

Hongzhice is twenty-six years old this year, but he is still single, in this era, for a talented man like him who has become famous all over the world, it is simply incredible, that is because Hongzhice has been controlled by his family to study until he became an adult, and even when he reached the age of marriage, he did not mean to kiss him, until he became famous, he found that he no longer had the slightest interest in the cardamom girl, but every time he met a young woman who got married and had children, he would have a strong desire.

Empress Changsun is undoubtedly the best young woman in the world, and at this time, Hongzhice has been attracted by the charm that Empress Changsun inadvertently exuded. i0 t1706231537:
