The night is quiet, but the candlelight that penetrates the bamboo building is faintly visible like fireflies. The entire camp was silent except for the soldiers patrolling, and a figure hovered outside the bamboo building, hesitating whether to enter or not. The meticulous bamboo planks could not withstand repeated trampling, making a slight squeak, and when a slight cough sounded from inside the door, the visitor finally stood still, pushed the door backhand and walked in.

Qingfeng still stared at the scroll in his hand without looking back, until someone came to stand behind him, and after a while, his eyes drooped, and he put the scroll on the table, and said lightly: "It's been two watches, why hasn't Your Highness slept yet." ”

"Sir, how not. Bark Cheng replied, sat down beside Qingfeng with a short body, looked at the scroll on the desktop and suddenly smiled: "This book has been with Mr. for many years, and I think about it has been memorized like a stream, but I still take it out from time to time to read, isn't it boring?"

"It's boring, because of this, that I can't sleep at night, tossing and turning. And what about you, Your Highness, can't sleep for the sake of this war whose outcome is predetermined, or because of a future that no one can predict?"

"The envoys to the eastern capital have already taken the peace book on the road, and the soldiers and horses to Danyang will also set off early tomorrow morning. This king is here today just for one sentence, are you sure that Emperor Wen of Jin will make concessions and give us a chance to retreat?"

The corners of his eyebrows twitched slightly, and Qingfeng's low-hanging eyes slowly lifted, looking at the silent night outside the window, as if he was considering how to answer, and it seemed that he was only in a trance for a moment because of the barking words, and after a moment of silence, he exhaled lightly, got up and walked towards the window.

"It's the middle of winter, at this time of the year, His Royal Highness is guarding in Hohedan, every day after entering the palace to meet his father and queen mother, he does his filial piety as a son of man, but this year is the second year outside, and this year, it is also the year of the second prince Sanchigoya and the crown. ”

Qingfeng's words made Vedic Cheng's face change slightly, and the corners of his lips full of smiles also tightened due to coldness.

That's right, at this time of the year, no matter where he was, he would rush back to Huhe and stay alone for two or three months, firstly, to do his filial piety as a son, and secondly, to take the opportunity to monitor the undersurging forces around Sanchigoya. Although his younger brother has a gentle personality and is harmless to others since he was a child, the ministers in the court who are dissatisfied with themselves and the current situation always have some secretly accumulating strength, thinking that they can have the opportunity to pull themselves down from the throne of the crown prince and put the people they can control to the position of Jinding, so that they can hold him hostage and make him a puppet to be manipulated!

"Gan Ning's old puppet has always been at odds with this king, and in the past he has repeatedly admonished that this king is warlike and murderous, not for the character that a king should have, just because he is a friend of his father's neck, and he helped his father to seize the world, so he really thinks that this king does not dare to touch him! Sanchigoya has always been loved by him, and now he has allied with him and wants to replace this king and ascend the throne!"

"Although Gan Ning's power is great, there are still Gui Yonghao, Keqin and others in the court who can compete with it, but this time he has broken the two veterans of Timur Khan and Hua Chier, and His Royal Highness's reputation will definitely be greatly damaged...... It's already ......" Qingfeng shook his head gently, his barking expression became more and more solemn, and after pondering for a while, he raised his head and said: "Sir hasn't answered this king's question yet! This king will stretch and scatter the entire battle line according to your plan, and if you are not careful, you will be broken through the defense line by the Jin soldiers and fall into a situation where it is difficult to turn over! Sir can at least give this king an affirmation, let me know that giving up the lives of so many soldiers, I can let this king return to his hometown, in the face of the crowd of people, he will not bow his head and surrender, and give Gan Ning the opportunity to trample this king under his feet!"

"Your Royal Highness, the Wu father and son are now unable to become a climate, as long as we evacuate, Emperor Wen of Jin can be distracted to stabilize the overall situation, for him, the most important thing now is the people's heart, the war in Jiuyuan has dragged on for too long, the people have long been miserable, clear the henchmen of the Wu father and son, the Jin court has also been greatly injured, we have submitted a letter of peace, if he fights for a while, he should not be allowed, and the aftermath should be endless. Wu Fanzhong has usurped power for more than ten years, and Emperor Wen of Jin can endure humiliation and lie dormant, this kind of person knows too well the truth of survival in adversity, so His Highness does not have to worry that he will not agree to our request. ”

"In this way, as long as we can withstand the moment when they issue the decree to the middle of the court, we can swagger and retreat from this frontier with our men and horses. ”

"Yes. ”

"Oh, well, if this is the case, when this king gets this world, it will also be the day when Mr. will be crowned a marquis and pay homage to the prime minister!"

Qingfeng did not show the slightest joy at the promise of barking, but silently looked at the dark night sky, silent. Bark Cheng knew in his heart, and did not bother him, and was about to get up to leave, when he suddenly heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves coming from afar.

"Your Highness—Your Highness!"

"What's the matter?! ”

Digor came from afar with a letter in his hand, and when he heard his urgent cry, he was shocked in his heart, and there was a hint of throbbing. Qingfeng came back to his senses and walked to the door, and when he saw the color of the letter in Digor's hand, he was also surprised, and then let go of his body, and after leading Digor into the door, he first looked outside, and then turned around and closed the door.

"Is it from Keqin? But something happened to the DPRK?"

The letter was unusual, not like the ordinary letterhead with white as the seal, but with the blue-purple dyed with the unique Kesang Ita flower of Hohtan, this color indicates that there has been a heavy change in the court, and it is a unique way of transmitting messages to the faction that supports the eldest prince, so it will make the faces of the Vedic Cheng and the breeze change suddenly.

"It was Lord Keqin who came, and the messenger fell when he arrived at the border, and the soldiers at the border rushed here day and night, just to let His Highness see the situation described in the letter as soon as possible. ”

Vedic took the letterhead and couldn't wait to shake it open and look at it carefully, the look on his face changed from surprise to surprise to silence, and after handing the letter to Qingfeng, he sat down at the table and said no more. Qingfeng looked at the letter sentence by sentence, and also understood all the changes in Vedic Chengqi at the moment.

The second prince, Sanchigoya, with an entourage, infiltrated the caravan bound for the Great Jin Dynasty, and lost his trace at the border not long ago, which means that Sanchigoya is very likely to be here now, in the chaotic land where the two countries are at war!

Gan Ningzhi dared to openly confront the eldest prince because he still controlled the benevolent and generous second prince Sanchi Goya, and now that the whereabouts of the second prince are unknown, he will definitely send people to pursue it with all his might, and now that the two countries are at war, no one can say what will happen, if he and others find the second prince before him......

"Your Highness, this is a great time, as long as we find the second prince first-" Digor's words paused, and after hesitating for a moment, he finally made up his mind to make a slashing action: "No one will know what happened, even if the king investigates it in the future, we can also put the responsibility on Da Jin! Your Highness! Please give an order!"

Qingfeng didn't speak, only gently put it back into Vedic Cheng's hand after reading the letterhead. Barking's eyes moved slightly, and in the candle flame that brightened his pupils, he seemed to see the figure that had followed him and sobbed quietly.

"Brother Wang...... Is it okay to take Xiaoya out with you...... Don't hate Xiaoya...... Brother Wang......"

……

Once upon a time, that little figure went from desperately crying to silently weeping, until it ...... Never follow yourself again...... R638
