Feather Battalion
The envoy sent by Emperor Zhaolie came to announce the decree with the holy decree, and Lie Yu and Lie Beiyao knelt down to receive the decree.
"Fengtian carrier, Emperor Zhao said~ Prince Lieyu made great contributions to this expedition, and was named the general of the protector of the country and led the army of the protector. The ninth princess Lie Beiyao worked hard all the way, and I couldn't bear it, so I specially ordered her to return to Beijing with her envoys on the same day to recuperate. ”
"The retainer's order. ”
The envoy handed over the holy decree to Lie Yu, and made a gesture to Lie Yu with a flattering attitude. "Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”
"Your Excellency has been fortunate all the way, and you will rest in the big tent of the palace tonight, and the palace will hold a banquet tonight to entertain your lords. Lie Yu said politely.
"Thanks to His Highness's love, His Highness is so polite. The envoy smiled, "The minister came to announce the decree this time, and there is another good thing to congratulate His Highness Jiu." ”
"Oh?" Lie Yu glanced at Lie Beiyao.
The envoy made another gesture to Lie Beiyao, "Weichen came here this time by order, and I heard a message when I left the palace." I heard that the eldest grandson of the prince of Qi asked the emperor to marry Her Royal Highness the princess to the prince as a wife, the emperor agreed, the princess is about to have a good thing, I am afraid that His Royal Highness the prince will return to the dynasty this time, His Majesty will give marriage, and the princess will be the princess of the princess of Qi in the future, which is gratifying. ”
"Ahem, ahem. When Lie Beiyao heard the news, he was stunned, choked on a mouthful of saliva, and couldn't help coughing.
"What's wrong with Your Highness? The envoy hurriedly asked, looking very concerned.
"No need. Lie Beiyao covered her mouth and tried her best to suppress her cough.
The envoy continued to talk to himself, "The eldest grandson is the only son of the Duke of Qi, and now he has just been named the Marquis of Beiding, and the princess is married to the Marquis of Beiding. According to the minister, the eldest grandson and you are talented and beautiful, and you are the right person, and it will be a happy marriage. ”
"This eldest grandson Chi is sincere to you, which is a good choice. Lie Yu teased maliciously.
"Yes, what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is very true. The envoy smiled, "In the future, the minister will have to rely on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Ninth to carry him." ”
"Uh-huh, your Excellency is gracious. Lie Beiyao said perfunctorily.
"Your Excellency has been tired all the way, it is better to go back to the camp tent to rest first, and the wine and beauties are all prepared for your adult. Lie Yu diverted the topic.
"This ...... His Royal Highness Lao bothered, and the ministers were really frightened. The envoy said on the surface, but in fact he was very satisfied.
"Someone is coming, and you don't want to show the way for the envoys. As soon as Lie Yu greeted, two attendants immediately came up to lead the way for the envoy and his party.
After they left, Lie Yu turned his head to look at Lie Beiyao, and smiled playfully, "I didn't expect you to write a letter, the eldest grandson would be wrong, and he ran to propose marriage, what should I do now? ”
"Drag it out first, shouldn't Yelan be more anxious than me about this matter?" Lie Bei Yao said.
"My sister is really calm. Lie Yu smiled, "But the eldest grandson Chi is also a rare talent, and his appearance is also superior, and he is also suitable for my sister." ”
"Tomorrow I will follow the mission back to the capital, and my brother will take care of the affairs here, so be careful. Lie Beiyao instructed.
"You too. Lie Yu rubbed her long silky hair, put his mouth to her ear and whispered, "Be careful of Lie Wuxue." ”
Lie Beiyao smiled knowingly. "Don't worry, brother, I'm fine. ”
......
The palace of the fourth prince De'an Wang
"Your Highness, I heard that the Ninth Princess has returned to Beijing from the front line, and she will arrive in the capital in a few days. Lie Wuxue's staff reported to Lie Wuxue.
"Lie Beiyao came back alone?" asked Lie Wuxue.
"Yes. ”
"Huh. Lie Wuxue sneered, "God help me." ”
"What does the prince mean by this?" the staff was puzzled.
"Lie Beiyao has a good skin, and he has repeatedly spoiled my good deeds. Now that he is going to marry his eldest grandson, Chi, Na Lie Yu is bound to be like a tiger with wings and a stable position, so he can't let them get married smoothly no matter what. ”
"Then His Highness means ......"
"Liebei Yao is usually protected by Lieyu, but now she is alone...... Scold. Lie Wuxue snorted coldly, "I must not let her live." ”
"If the prince wants to deal with it quickly, his subordinates can arrange it. The staff smirked.
"Idiot. Lie Wuxue reprimanded angrily, "Lie Yu is not a fool, on the way back to Beijing, he will definitely send the Red Flag Crusader to secretly protect him, do you think it is so easy to start?"
"It's the stupidity of the subordinates. The staff bowed their heads, "Lord Wang, this is a plan?"
"There's no hurry. Lie Wuxue smiled gloomily, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth made people feel chilled.

Murong Yongci arrived with the trapped camp army and fought with the central army led by Yelan. Hai Shengyue took the first step to pursue Huyanchi, Yelan summoned Murong Yongci and said to him, "General Murong will support first, and I will lead my henchmen and the central army to outflank the rear from the mountain road, and when the time comes, it will be surrounded on all sides, and the inside and outside should be combined, and the Western Song Dynasty can be broken." I will report General Murong's merits to my father, and I will do what I promised. ”
"His Royal Highness King Xie Guang. Murong Yongci gave his hand, "However, I am more familiar with the mountain roads and trails of the Western Song Dynasty than His Highness, and I have a white horse under my command, so I dare to recommend myself to lead the army to the rear to outflank me." ”
Yelan raised her eyebrows slightly, noncommittal.
Murong Yongci continued, "I have dealt with Huyanchi before, and I am familiar with Huyanchi's military formation, so His Royal Highness King Guang doesn't have to worry. ”
"Naturally. Yelan nodded, but still didn't say whether she agreed with Murong Yongci's suggestion.
"Your Highness, does this distrust me?" Murong Yongci looked directly at Yelan's gaze, and the latter did not evade it, and had been silently observing Murong Yongci.
"Of course not. Yelan smiled, "I understand General Murong's strength, since General Murong said so, then arrange it like this." ”
"Since His Highness trusts him, he will not disappoint His Highness. ”
In the early morning of the next day, Yelan gathered the three armies and prepared to march to the central capital.
He left Yefan behind to defend the city. - He made a plan, leaving Yefan behind, he would feel much more at ease. In this way, no matter what, there will be no support, no way out, and they will be copied from all sides.
Yelan never takes risks.
Xiao Changle had to follow Yelan, but Yelan had no choice but to take her.
Before leaving, Yelan made a mobilization order and went through the process, and Murong Yongci led the trapping camp to fight on the city tower to send off Yelan's army.
Ye Fan followed him until a kilometer away from the capital city before he was persuaded by Ye Lan, he and Ye Lan dismounted one after another, the two brothers hugged each other, Ye Fan said softly, "Fourth brother, have a good trip." ”
Yelan smiled, "Last time I saw you off, this time it was you who saw me off." ”
"After this battle, we can go back to Kyoto. "Ye Fan said," It's strange to say, I was very excited to go on the expedition at the time, but now that I have fought for a long time, I miss leaving Kyoto for so long. ”
"The maple leaves had just fallen when we set out on the expedition, and now the buds of early spring have grown. Yelan said. After finishing speaking, he raised his eyes and glanced at Murong Yongci on the city wall, and said to Ye Fan in a low voice, "Hold it." ”
Ye Fan understood, he bowed his head slightly, signaling Ye Lan to be relieved.
Yelan turned to get on his horse, squinting and seeing a white figure standing in the hazy woods in the distance, he smiled slightly, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.
"Let's go!"
