"You, get out. Xiyan was lying down, and Yan Tianmu, who no longer knew how long she had been sitting on the edge of her bed, said. Recently, he has contracted a cold wind, and Lei Xiao can no longer stay here by himself. She drank the medicine, fell asleep in a daze, felt thirsty, struggled to open her eyes, and saw Yan Tianmu sitting on the edge of the bed looking at her. Her voice was hoarse, and those three words had no power to utter.

"Why did you wake up?" Yan Tianmu asked gently.

"I want to drink water. "My throat hurts, and it looks like it's going to burst out on fire.

"Okay, you wait. Yan Tianmu walked to the small table, first touched the temperature of the teapot to see that it was still warm, then poured a glass of water, turned it back, and brought it to her.

Xiyan sat up, took the water, drank it all, and felt much more comfortable.

He took the cup and placed it on the small table beside the bed. Xiyan looked around and found that there was no palace maid there.

"What about them?"

"Slept. Yan Tianmu replied simply.

"Then you're not going to sleep?" Xiyan pulled the quilt up. She wore only blue pajamas, and felt a little cold at night.

"When you see it, go to sleep. Yan Tianmu looked at her face in the moonlight.

"Now that you've seen it, you can go. Xiyan frowned.

"Heartless woman. Yan Tianmu smiled softly. "So unwilling to see me?"

"Cough~cough~," Xiyan's throat itched. "I want to rest, you can go back. She said with some pleading.

"Then you can sleep, leave me alone. Yan Tianmu looked at her eyes with a smile in her eyes, which seemed brighter in the night.

"Whatever you want. Xiyan didn't have the strength to continue to entangle this topic with him. She slipped into the quilt and clumped herself up, facing inside.

Yan Tianmu looked at her back, smiled, and reached out to help her tuck the quilt.

"I'll come to see you again. ”

She listened, but there was no response, and he didn't care.

In Lei Xiao's palace, it was still lit up in the middle of the night. The eight hundred miles of the border pass were spread out and placed on the long case. Lei Xiao walked around on the ground with his head down. The father-in-law who was waiting came in and changed the hot tea a few times.

The relationship between Anguo and Zhou has always been a sword draw, and several wars have been waged, and both sides have suffered heavy losses, and Lei Yao was defeated in one of them. In the first two years, the war was interrupted, and the two sides were once in a state of recuperation, but recently, Zhou Guo began to move again, and went out to provoke several times. The former border guard was suddenly seriously ill and bedridden, and the rest of the people had no one who could serve as their substitutes, so he begged the imperial court to send a general as soon as possible.

Lei Xiao went through all the people he could think of in his mind, picking and choosing, only Lei Yao and Yan Tianmu were relatively suitable. However, Yan Tianmu has the heavy responsibility of guarding the capital, and he is unable to fight at all. Thinking of Lei Yao, I don't know how effective his training in the camp was. Send him forward, if he makes the same mistake last time, and there are some accidents, I don't know what words will come out among the clansmen.

Lei Yao was urgently summoned into the palace at dawn.

Lei Xiao handed him the fold on the table, Lei Yao glanced at ten lines, and his face gradually became solemn.

"The general situation, do you know it?" Lei Xiao didn't sleep all night, his eyes were bloodshot.

"Clear. Lei Yao looked at him, "Please ask the king's retainer to lead the troops to the battle." ”

"Don't be in a hurry," Lei Xiao looked at Lei Yao's firm face, "When the others arrive, let's discuss it together." ”

For the Zhou State in the north, the people in the court were a little afraid. The people of the Zhou State advocate the law of the jungle, and can do anything to achieve their goals, and on the battlefield, they are treacherous and cunning, and they are very cruel. When Lei Xiao proposed to recommend someone to leave the station, everyone was silent. To fight with Zhou Guo, you need physical strength, but also strategy and means. There are very few people who are up to the task. Seeing that they all looked embarrassed, Lei Xiao looked at them without saying a word.

"The minister is willing to lead the army to the battle. Lei Yao stepped forward.

Everyone was surprised and exchanged glances with each other.

"What do you think, Aiqing?" Lei Xiao swept sharply over everyone.

The old minister thought it was inappropriate. It was Yan Jinglin who spoke. "Prince Gong's golden body must not take such a big risk. ”

Lei Xiao met his gaze and exchanged meanings that only the two of them could understand.

"That's what I mean. Lei Xiao looked at Lei Yao. "Who else can recommend?"

The crowd was silent again.

"Your Majesty, please lead the troops to the battle. Lei Yao's voice was loud, "The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband." As a citizen of Anguo, the minister should protect his family and protect the country, how can he retreat because he is the prince? What's more, since he is the prince, the minister should set an example. The border pass is in danger, please don't hesitate any longer, and send your ministers to fight!"

Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, seeing that everyone's eyes were full of appreciation for Lei Yao, and finally, he spoke, "Quasi-play." ”

Lei Yao was overjoyed, "Your Majesty!"

Yan Jinglin touched his beard, and a trace of disapproval flashed in his eyes. Lei Xiao looked at him and nodded slightly.

"What?" Chao Yan saw her husband come back, and happily prepared snacks and food, but before a glass of wine was down, Lei Yao told her the news that he was going to go on the expedition. The cup she was holding fell straight to the ground, shattering.

Lei Yao didn't expect her reaction to be so big, he eased his emotions and took Chao Yan's hand, "What's wrong?"

"Do you have to go?" Chao Yan had tears in his eyes. She doesn't want him to go, there are no eyes on the battlefield, just in case, in case, how will she live. "Don't go. Chaoyan is gentle and obedient to Lei Yao on weekdays and never interferes in her husband's affairs, but this time, she doesn't want to and can't comply.

"National events are not child's play. I have received the decree and it is impossible to repent. He said softly to Chao Yan, "You don't have to worry, I'll be careful myself." ”

"But," Chaoyan held back tears, "I'm really afraid." ”

Lei Yao hugged her and patted her back comfortingly, "Trust me." You and Zhao'er are at home and waiting for me to come back. ”

Chaoyan closed his eyes and burst into tears. It's not as long as your night, and I've stayed up minute by minute, not knowing when you'll return. Morning and dusk no longer mean anything to me, and all my thoughts have left with you. Guanshan is far away, how long will I have to endure this time? This kind of waiting is more painful than death. I'm always worried, and I'm always worried.

"Take me with you. Chao Yan looked at him pleadingly, "I don't want to wait so stupidly." ”

"Fool. Lei Yao wiped away her tears with his fingertips, "I'll be back soon." He smiled brightly.
