Smoke rises

The change of Xiliang came quickly and quickly, without warning. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The ten northwestern cities bordering Xiliang in the empire were lost in succession, and the border military situation was urgent, which could be said to have not been seen in a century.

Shengjing City has become a pot of porridge. Ordinary people are panicking, but most of the royal families and gate valve families who have enjoyed nearly a hundred years of glory and wealth are also in danger, for fear that their hundreds of years of glory and superiority will not be in vain.

The twists and turns in the Taiji Hall were piled up for a while.

At present, the DPRK and China have mobilized more than 200,000 troops and horses from the five provinces around Shengjing, and they are ready to go to Xiliang at any time to listen to the order. And what is being discussed in the Hall of Light today is who will appoint the leader of this recruitment.

The hall of light, which was full of unicorn and spirit, fell into an unprecedented solemnity, and most of the people were speculating about the candidates for the leaders announced by His Majesty when he went to court for a while.

It is expected that Nalan Fa, the fierce general of the empire in the past, has been deceased for many years, and now Ruan Jianye, the chief of the court, is very old, and now he can lead the overall situation is probably the head of the Murong family and the governor of the capital, Murong Jingyu.

But Xianyue couldn't wait for this moment, so as early as today, she sent Yue Lan to meet He Zhao, who was on duty in the Yulin Army last night, to meet in the Qinquan Corridor.

Fortunately, He Zhao did not let Xianyue wait for a long time, and came with steady steps from time to time.

Today, he is dressed in a navy blue snow falcon court suit, with a red sandalwood agate pearl around his neck, and he looks majestic, handsome and mighty.

"Weichen see Concubine Lixian. ”

Xianyue, who was half-sitting on the lychee wood corridor, hurriedly got up, only to see her wearing a lake blue plain palace dress, and hairpin earrings were used for the simplest silver jewelry. It is true that the elegance of the world has not diminished, but it is difficult to hide the haggard state between gestures.

"The general doesn't have to be polite, it's really rude to call you so urgently today, but I am also sorry that I can't sleep and eat, and I'm worried about ......."

The white Xinyi flowers outside the wooden corridor are in full bloom, full of snow trees, without any variegated color, which makes people inevitably feel a sense of admiration. And the bell of the Tonghe Palace hanging on the eaves of the corridor above the head is still swaying with the wind, sending out the sound of Qingyue that is very contrary to the solemn atmosphere in the palace today.

He Zhao was as light as the palace bell under the eaves, and his expression was soft and indifferent.

"Niangniang rest assured, this expedition, Weichen will do his best to protect His Majesty's safety. ”

"You mean he wants to lead the troops to the expedition?"

"Exactly. ”

"I thought about it, but I didn't want to take it seriously. Anyway, if most of the soldiers in Beijing are transferred, it may be more dangerous for him to stay here......" Xian Yue couldn't help but choke up a little at this point, but he tried his best to restrain his emotions, and then hurriedly took out two red gold reckless brocade bags from his sleeves and handed them to He Zhao's gentle palm, "General, please be sure to put away these two things, among them, the Crane Talisman is owned by me, and I can order the Nalan family to secretly guard three thousand." And this Qingluan talisman was obtained by me from Concubine Jinde the day before yesterday, and I can also use this to summon the Mu family to secretly guard two thousand. These guards have been raised with strict training since childhood, and their martial arts are excellent and strong. When you leave Beijing, you must let them follow you in case of emergency!"

For a moment, He Zhao looked at the small two golden talismans in his hand, only to feel that they were unusually heavy.

His heart was filled with a lot of feelings. In the midst of fire and water, who knows that Concubine Li Xian, who usually seems to be the most indifferent to His Majesty, happens to be the first person who cares about him in detail?

"Niangniang, don't worry. When the sound of our army's triumph comes, it must also be the time for you and Your Majesty to reunite. ”

"There is no reunion in the world every day, so why try to go forward?" Xianyue raised her eyes and smiled, but the extremely beautiful smile contained a bitter meaning that could not be dissolved, "As long as you can return safely together, I will be satisfied......"

He Zhao was slightly stunned for a while.

She said that she wanted them to return together safely.

And among them, they include themselves who want to go west with Shan Ze Xiu.

This short sentence, a small word, made He Zhao's heart surging at this moment, even if he was on the battlefield for the first time, he was not afraid.

However, after calming down for a while, he bowed down and clenched his fists calmly, and said earnestly to the slender figure in front of him, "Weichen will live up to his mother's expectations!"

Xianyue's heart suddenly warmed, and then he raised his eyebrows happily and said, "Okay, when the general returns triumphantly, I will definitely invite you to drink under the moon here!"

"Then when you return home, you must not forget to ask for a pot of wine from your mother. ”

The sound of the palace bell swaying under the corridor is still the same, and He Zhaofeng is handsome, his thin lips are tightly pursed into a shallow laughing arc, and his eyes are as deep as the ocean, as if he has emotions that make Xianyue difficult to read.

At this moment, Xilan, who was waiting under the corridor, had no choice but to turn around and walk calmly to the corridor after receiving the report from the guard of the Huanxiu Palace, and reported to Xianyue truthfully, "Niangniang, Mrs. Rong Ying just went to the palace to look for you, and when she saw that you were not there, she was about to leave to look for you." ”

"Got it, help me bring her a message and tell her I'll go back at once, and let her stay with me for a while. ”

The beauty of the good day must eventually be dispersed, and he can have this brief moment before the expedition, and he knows in his heart that he is satisfied. Then He Zhao clenched the two golden talismans in his hand, and lowered his slender eyes slightly, "Niangniang, if there are no other instructions, Weichen will retire." ”

"Okay, I hope the general will cherish it all the way. ”

At this moment, Xianyue didn't know why, and there was a little reluctance in her faintly worried eyes. The tall and steady figure in front of him must come back unscathed with that person......

But when she came back to her senses, He Zhao's distant figure had become a small point, and was about to disappear into the corridor. A sudden feeling of exhaustion struck her, and for a moment she could not help but take two steps back and lean heavily against the wooden railing.

From time to time, the sound of brisk and hurried footsteps suddenly sounded on the wooden corridor among the layers of flowers.

Xianyue sighed lightly in her heart, secretly saying that she was still so anxious, and then slowly raised her head and smiled.

"Sister, you're here. ”

"Good sister, do you know who he sent to the Western Expedition this time?" Shuyun, who came in a hurry, didn't notice Xianyue's pale face for a while, but impatiently vented the anger in his heart, "He actually sent himself, he wants to drive the expedition himself! Do you say he doesn't want to die?"

"Sister, don't worry. Xianyue leaned forward, comfortingly held Shuyun's slightly trembling jade hands, and asked gently, "Do you know what the main and deputy generals are on this trip?"

"The main general will be his own cousin Shangshu Luoyunzhou, and the deputy general is Ruan Jinxuan, the half-brother of the little hoof of the Ronghui Palace. ”

Xianyue instantly settled down, and then smiled at Shuyun with relief, "This is very good, but it is the safest arrangement." ”

"Sister, what are you talking about?" Shu Yun was stunned and muttered, "Why can't I understand at all?"

Since the arrival of the party, the entry and exit of the Qinquan Corridor has already been surrounded by Xianyue. And this lychee wood corridor faces the water on one side, and the other side is a deep sea of flowers, and it is difficult for outsiders to approach half of it. So at this moment, Xianyue couldn't bear to let Shuyun be kept in the dark again, but fortunately she asked calmly, "Sister, think about it, over the years, who in the palace has been closest to Xiliang?"

Shuyun's skirt was slightly raised, and his face was full of disdain, "The closest to Xiliang is Lin Helin, right? You see that every time Xiliang's fat-headed and big-eared son comes, he knows that he is with her!"

"That's right, the closest to Xiliang has always been the princess who has been given supreme honor by the empire. At this point, the mockery in Xianyue's phoenix eyes deepened, "Not only has the prince of Xiliang always obeyed her, but also the imperial history of Muzhou, who guards the border between Xiliang and the empire, is also the son of her nurse, Wang Zhongcan." Sister, don't you think this war is too strange?"

In a moment, the clouds are like drinking and waking up from a dream.

"Oh my God, she's trying to rebel?"

"At least she doesn't want to give Zexiu any more way to live. As we all know, when the first emperor was alive, she was greatly favored, and almost half of the empire's wealth was in her pocket, and no one knew how many outstanding secret guards she had in her hands......" Xianyue looked at Shuyun with a frightened expression at the moment, and continued to say calmly, "Now most of the military horses in the five provinces around Shengjing have been sent and transferred, and there are only nine thousand Yulin troops left in the palace, and Murong Jingyu, who is currently in military power, is the younger brother of her mother Murong Kangjue. If Ze Xiu doesn't leave the palace at this moment, it will be really difficult to win!"

"Sister, this is too sudden, I'm a little scared," Shuyun's soft face was gloomy for a while, she couldn't help but step forward and hugged Xianyue's shoulders and whispered, "What does Lin want to do, is she going to be the empress?"

Xianyue smiled dejectedly, "Do you remember that on the eve of the palace election, she was in front of us, didn't she use the Night Emperor as a metaphor for herself?"

The lake in front of him was as smooth as a mirror, but when Shuyun thought that Lone Zexiu was now in dire straits, he had an indescribable depression in his heart, and he also had a sense of powerlessness.

Although she knew better than anyone that he didn't love her, she was so afraid that he would never return.

"I really don't understand, a woman, with both children and daughters, has enjoyed the glory and delicacies of the world since she was a child, what is there about her who is not satisfied, and wants to ask for her brother's life?"

"Sister, guess all this, who ordered me?"

The palace bell under the eaves still rang wantonly, and Shu Yun's beautiful eyes widened, as if in disbelief, "Didn't you meet Ze Xiu?"

"It's not him," Xianyue shook her head lightly with an indifferent eyebrow, "It's that Yan Chenghui from Yunchi Palace." ”

"She, how could it be her?"

"Lin and Lin's champion horse Liu Zhikang was originally her bamboo horse lover. ”

Shu Yun smiled dumbly, and the ridicule on his red lips was very strong, "She is the only one in the palace who has been very favored recently, how could she tell you this so boldly, doesn't Shan Ze Xiu know about it?"

"He knew, he knew it earlier than anyone else. "The grass and trees are prosperous, the morning light rises suddenly, and for a while, Xianyue's clear and beautiful eyes are like the light of the sky," so the two of them made a deal, and when Ze Xiu returned from a thousand miles of victory, Yan Jingzhi would also collect all kinds of evidence of Lin and Lin's rebellion in the cold and lonely city. When the truth is made public, the sinner is punished, and she only wants to get her lover back......"

Shuyun's eyes narrowed slightly, and the two blurry and beautiful faces of Yan Jingzhi and Liu Zhikang were slowly reflected in his mind, "I don't want her to be a strange woman!"

The result is important, but the process of chasing is not commendable? In Yan Jingzhi's clear and resolute look, Xianyue seems to see some thoughts that have disappeared in his body.

She knows that she can't go back, and she can't hold it, but she sincerely hopes that others can get what they want......

"Who knows, people in the world are not all driven by **** and continue to grow. Xianyue smiled, and said frankly, "Speaking of which, I also have some admiration for her, knowing that if everything she did was discovered by Lin Helin, she would definitely die, but she still had no hesitation and was willing to fight for her life." ”

"What about him," the gloom in Shuyun's heart is still difficult to fade, "Sister, can he really be foolproof when he goes to thousands of mountains and rivers?"

"I don't know, but if he doesn't take care of some things, no one will do it for him...... Sister, this is his home country and his world, and he must defend it himself. ”

At this point, Xianyue's heart was inevitably moved, and then she suddenly remembered the picture of herself and Shan Ze Xiu being in Qingchi Mountain two years ago on her nineteenth birthday.

At that time, he treated her with great consideration and gentleness, and held her hand step by step, taking her to the top of the mist-shrouded mountain to enjoy the great river of this splendid and prosperous world.

This is the royal land and country that her lover's family has guarded for generations, everything has a program, and everything has a schedule. Everywhere you look, there are mountains and rivers winding, thousands of trees towering to the sky, and fragrant grass flourishing.

The sky is high and the clouds are so vast and magnificent, how can she not make her unforgettable?

It is true that now the two of them have a dislike and no longer have affection, but she still doesn't want to see everything that belonged to him fall into the hands of others one day......
