Chapter 255 Queen of Nanzhao (II)

Li Qing did not go to Yanying Palace to attend the banquet, but instead looked for an excuse to supervise money. He didn't know why he did this, weak? Or angry? Perhaps both were both. When he learned that Awan ascended the throne of Nanzhao, he was not only painful but also escaped. In terms of love, Li Qingyuan was not as mature as he was in the officialdom, and even a little paranoid. For example, he could not stand Yang Huahua's romantic past. He could not forget the filth that happened to her and Yang Guozhong on the night he first arrived at her house. For example, for Cui Liuliu, just because of her mother's domineering and her willfulness, Li Qing was blinded and wiped out all her advantages.

In addition to being a little paranoid, his other emotional weakness is that he can take it but cannot let it go. The curtain is because of sharing weal and woe, just like rice every day, although it is plain, but irreplaceable; while Li Jingyan is a passion, which makes him obsessed with and unable to extricate himself; Awan of Nanzhao originated from a responsibility and a promise, but when this responsibility becomes a concern for them, mother and son, he accidentally lost her.

For a man, most of his feelings for a woman originate from a responsibility. When this responsibility becomes concern, love sprouts in his heart.

At this moment, Li Qing was sitting in a restaurant on Chunming Street drinking alone, staring at the pedestrians on the street aimlessly. He did not go to supervise the creation of coins. The palpitations after the reunion made him unable to calm down for a long time. Yes! They could not meet in front of everyone. Whether she was a smile that was palpitations or a tear that was difficult to erase, it would make him unacceptable.

Time passed slowly in the golden wine, the sun gradually set, Li Qing was already five points drunk, he felt depressed and couldn't stop him. Just as he slapped his glass heavily and got up to go home, a commotion suddenly broke out on the street outside the window, and he faintly heard someone shouting loudly, "Queen! Queen!"

He glanced at the window sideways and looked out the window, and saw a huge ceremonial guard driving along Chunming Street. It was Awan's convoy in the morning. It seemed that they were going to Dongshi. As the drunkenness rose, his courage suddenly increased. An inexplicable impulse caused him to walk down the restaurant and follow the crowds to the street.

Without the guards of the Ten Thousand Cavalry Camp of the Tang Dynasty, the team of the Nanzhao regiment was significantly reduced, the flags were closed, and the onlookers were far from being compared with the morning. Li Qing stood on the steps, leaning against the gate, watching the carriage passing by him sadly.

But less than twenty steps away, the carriage suddenly stopped, and the curtain of the rear car slowly opened, revealing a beautiful face, mixing surprise and pain, looking at him blankly.

Courage suddenly erupted in Li Qing's heart. He laughed to the sky and walked forward quickly.

"Stop!" The guards suddenly reacted. They rushed up, and the cold steel knife and spear were aimed at his chest together, blocking his way.

"Don't make things difficult for him."

A Wan's trembling voice came from the carriage, "Let him come here!"

The guards collected the weapons, but formed a team, blocking Li Qing and the carriage, staring at him vigilantly, able to speak, but not allowed him to get on the carriage. Before leaving, the Queen Mother Yinan had a strict order to prevent the Queen from contacting any men from the Tang Dynasty.

"You guys retreat!"

The rude guards made Awan extremely angry. She pushed open the car door and scolded the leader of the guards: "General Luo Jun, I am the king of Nanzhao. Do you not listen to my orders?"

The head of the guards had an angry expression on his face. He stared at Li Qing tightly and said, "Her Majesty the Queen is not the last general who refuses to listen, but the Queen Mother has strict orders, so we dare not refuse to obey, especially him!"

He pointed his hand at Li Qing and said sternly: "I know this person. It was him who turned our Nanzhao upside down. The death of the eldest prince and the division of the country are all related to him. Your Majesty, I will not obey you!"

The arrogant leader of the guard inspired Li Qing's toughness. He sneered and approached the carriage step by step with the intention of drinking. "The king is the king, but you dare to openly disobey the king's orders. In your eyes, the queen may just be a decoration. The real heaven is Queen Yinan, right?"

"It's nonsense. What does our internal affairs in Nanzhao have to do with you?" Li Qing's words pointed to General Luo's thoughts. He saw that the queen looked like cold ice, and Li Qing on the opposite side kept approaching him. He couldn't help but feel anxious and panic. He pulled out the knife, pointed the tip of the knife at Li Qing's chest, and shouted with hatred: "Stop! Take another step and I will chop you."

"I want to cut me down? I'm afraid it's not that easy."

As soon as Li Qing finished speaking, an arrow shot in a 'swoosh', and it was as fast as lightning. Before the Luo Army could react, the arrow shot through his palm, blood and flesh spurted out, and the knife hit the ground with a clang.

On the second floor of the winery, Li Fei Shouyu held the long bow in his hand and stood proudly at the window. Another arrow had already set its bow and stringed it, aiming at the Nanzhao guards. The tip of the arrow shone with the grim smile of the god of death.

After a while, General Luo burst into a wailing scream, holding his hands and limped to the side. The arrow shocked the other guards of Nanzhao. After a long time, he suddenly reacted and couldn't help but become furious. He shouted, and he drew out his sword and raised his shield to protect the queen. The people around him didn't know what happened, but they were afraid of causing trouble. There was a turmoil and they hid in the streets and restaurants.

"You all retreat, this is my order!"

The Queen's order reminded the guards of Li Qing's harsh words. They looked at each other, their formation began to loosen, and then flashed to both sides, giving way out.

Li Qing's excitement had completely calmed down. He did not step forward because of the guard's concession. On the contrary, he stopped and stared at Awan silently. Recalling his acquaintance with her in eastern Yunnan, he suddenly smiled slightly, his smile as bright and warm as the sunshine in March.

"Are you all okay?" The long-lasting thoughts condensed into this short sentence at this moment, full of affection in the dullness.

Tears once again slid down Awan's face incompetently. She bit her lips tightly and her eyes turned red, but the queen's career several months had taught her to restrain herself. Awan raised her hand to wipe away her tears, forced a smile, and said, "He is still young, but he is also naughty, looking very much like a person, a man I can only ask him to dance in my life."

Li Qing shook his head gently, "I just hope you have a happy life, too heavy promises will crush you."

Just as Awan was about to speak, the sound of horse hooves suddenly rang out. The Tang army received the news that the envoy of Nanzhao was attacked on Chunming Street and was rolling towards this side like a strong wind. Seeing that the situation was urgent, Awan immediately took out a jade plaque and stuffed it to Li Qing and said, "I will go to Dongdu tomorrow after the grand court, and go back to Nanzhao directly. You must come to see me tonight, just rely on this gold medal to pass."

At this time, the Tang army had advanced five hundred steps away, and there was no one on the street in the morning. Li Qing held the jade tablet tightly in his hand, nodded, turned around and ran into the restaurant. Under the escort of Li Fei Shouyu and his confidant soldiers, he quickly left the back door and soon disappeared into the spider-web-like alley.

After dinner, Li Qing locked himself in the study alone. He quietly looked at the jade token on the table. In the afternoon, the few words with Awan made him have a little enlightenment. Some things cannot be solved by escaping. The knot in his heart needs to be untied with care. He must face this feeling that there is no ending.

"Li Lang, have you seen her?"

At some point, his wife's curtain came behind him. She gently placed a cup of tea in front of him, with a gentle and quiet smile. The Queen of Nanzhao's visit to the Heavenly Kingdom today has already caused a sensation in Chang'an. Although she didn't go out, she already knew about this from Xiaoyu, who was so lively by nature. From Li Qing's abnormal silence today, she guessed one and two.

Li Qing gently held his wife's hand, and a warm breath came from her palm. He nodded silently and said, "She wants me to find her, and I want to go too. If I don't untie this knot, I will probably be uneasy in my life."

Lian'er smiled gently, she touched Li Qing's hair and said softly: "I understand your thoughts, just go! She is also a poor woman. Please comfort her and tell her that if she is willing to come to my house one day, I will welcome her."

The night was dark, and a full moon was passing through the clouds. Under the escort of several personal soldiers, Li Qing came to the Honglu Temple Yingbin Station under the cover of the darkness. The guards of Nanzhao took advantage of the situation and surrounded the inn like an iron barrel.

With the jade token in his hand, Li Qing passed through three guard defense lines. He stopped at a hundred steps away from the inn. In the darkness, he vaguely saw several people walking towards him.

"Li Lang, is it you?" The person coming turned out to be A Wan.

Li Qing held back the excitement in his heart and said in a deep voice: "Awan, it's me!"

As soon as the words were finished, a gust of fragrant wind blew into his face, and his soft jade body rushed into his arms. Awan opened her arms and hugged his waist desperately. Tears surged out, wetting the collars on his chest. The beauty's silent crying made Li Qing throw all her worries and worries outside the clouds. He hugged her tightly. At this moment, he had only one thought in his heart: she must stay.

"Let's go! Come with me."

Awan took Li Qing's hand and walked firmly into the inn. The guards were shocked. They seemed to understand something and made way for a path. This pair of lovers who had suffered from lovesickness gradually disappeared into the darkness.

The next day, when the gray sky quietly threw the information of dawn on the window paper, Li Qing had already put on his clothes. He kissed Awan gently, helplessly and reluctantly, "It's dawn, it's time for me to leave."

Awan knelt on the bed, wearing a white nightgown, showing her wonderful body particularly tempting. She looked at Li Qing blankly, seemingly indifferent to his kiss. Suddenly, she stretched out her white jade-like arms and hugged his neck tightly, responding to his kiss almost wildly. The lingering night brought her into heaven, but the parting in front of her made her heart feel like a knife.

"Li Lang, I will definitely come to find you."

Awan straightened his face, stared at his lover's eyes, and said with a firm expression: "My mother promised me that when our child is seven years old, he will be able to ascend the throne. Then I will be free. I will definitely come back to find you and stay by your side forever. This is my promise to you."

Speaking of this, Awan slowly took off her clothes, and her white jade-like body emitted a flawless halo. She pointed to her chest and said to Li Qing without hesitation: "Although Luo Wan is from Nanzhao, I know she is loyal to her lover. Since the night I danced with you, I have sworn that this body belongs to you alone. We Nanzhao people are more committed than the mountain. We will do our best to say it. We have never been there before and will not be there in the future!"

"Seven years!"

Li Qing was both moved and guilty. He hugged Awan's body and murmured in her ear: "I have a lot of wives and concubines, but I don't want other men to touch you. Awan, I'm so selfish."

Awan gently took off his clothes, kissed his chest, raised his pretty face and smiled, "When we meet with the golden wind and jade dew, it is better than countless people in the world. Li Lang, this is a poem you read to me in eastern Yunnan, and the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. I remember that we would also be a pair of Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. Every year today, we meet at Wangjiang Restaurant in Chengdu, okay?"

"I promise you!"

Li Qing nodded, he looked back at the reddish window paper, and said a little worriedly: "But this morning is the day for you to submit your national certificate, and the time is coming."

Awan shook her head firmly, and a charming smile appeared on her face: "In my heart, you are much more important than the Tang Dynasty. I will always remember today, so let your emperor wait there!"

The clouds are playing tricks, the flying stars are circulating, and the silver man is experiencing darkness.

Once the golden wind and jade dew meet, it will be better than the rest, and there are countless people in the world.

Tenderness is like water, good time is like a dream, I am willing to look back at the road back to the magpie bridge,
Chapter completed!
