"By the way, you went out with reserve soldiers this time, most of them are recruited from the militia, and their combat effectiveness is low, you ...... I'm afraid that only the heart of the subordinates can support the situation. Yejun said to Yelan.

Yelan threw away the chess pieces, raised his eyes and glanced at Yejun, picked up the teacup leisurely, took a sip of tea, and said lightly, "Yes, I also understand the combat power of the reserves, but a group of rabble, my father is deliberately embarrassing me." ”

"So calm?" Seeing that Yelan didn't care, Yejun had a trace of curiosity from the bottom of his heart.

"The area controlled by Jiuchen is okay, just go to Harya, the capital of Sakha Province, and have a round with Yeshu, and I guess he will send my people to act as death squads. Yelan said leisurely.

"What are you going to do?"

"One step at a time. ”

"Your Highness. There was a voice from the distance, Ye Lan nodded at him, signaling that he could come closer, Huang Fu came forward and saluted Ye Jun first, "His Royal Highness King Nan'an." ”

Yejun nodded, Huangfu Xun turned his gaze to Yelan again, Yelan took a sip of tea, and said to him lightly, "If you have something to say, there are no outsiders." ”

"Trust me so much?" said the Night Monarch with a smile.

"Not really. Yelan denied it, "Here she is." ”

"Your Highness knows?" the emperor looked up in surprise.

"What's the riddle?" interjected.

Yelan turned his head to look at him, "It's nothing, I think His Royal Highness King Nan'an can go." ”

"Did you just say you could talk to me?" said the Nightlord smiled.

"I just said there were no outsiders, but I didn't say you should stay here. Yelan's eyes were full of the meaning of rushing away, Yejun was an interesting person, and got up and walked out.

"Where?" said Yelan suddenly.

"In the study. Huang Fu replied.

"Let people go out, and I'll go to the study by myself. Yelan commanded coldly.

"Yes. The emperor asked for a retreat.

......

Yelan took small steps along the path of the house to the study, the door was open, and a woman in white stood there, with her back to him, but the figure was so familiar, she didn't need to look at her face, Yelan knew who it was.

With a "bang", Yelan entered the study, and the door behind him closed automatically—that was Yelan's work. The woman was startled by the sound, and subconsciously turned her head, Yelan arched her hand at him, "Your Royal Highness Princess." ”

The person who came was the person Yelan was looking forward to - Princess Beixuan, His Royal Highness Lie Beiyao. Lie Beiyao's face was cold, she just nodded, "His Royal Highness the King of Light." ”

"You want me to take you to the front. Yelan saw through Lie Beiyao's mind at a glance.

Lie Beiyao was not surprised, nor did he deny it, but just nodded slightly.

"I can promise, but how are you going to repay me?" Yelan smiled rarely.

"What do you want?" Lie Beiyao said.

"I don't want anything, as long as you open your mouth, you don't have to reciprocate. Yelan said humorously.

"His Royal Highness the King of Light is not as rumored to be, with all due respect, you are more like a disciple. Lie Beiyao said to Yelan very boldly, and there was a trace of gloom in his eyes.

"I'm sorry. Yelan lowered her head, like a child who had done something wrong.

"I ......" like this, Lie Beiyao didn't know what to say, so he could only freeze there and not say a word.

"Then how are you going to hide it? Princess Beixuan disappeared, and Emperor Zhaoning was going to be angry. Yelan regained his expression and asked Lie Beiyao seriously.

"Let my maid stay, and say that I am seriously ill and cannot see anyone. Lie Beiyao replied.

"War is a long thing, and you can't hide it for that long. Yelan dismissed her idea.

"What do you think?" Lie Beiyao cast a pleading look at Yelan.

"I can take you out in the open. Yelan replied as she looked into her gaze.

"How is that possible? Your father could not have agreed. Lie Beiyao looked at Yelan in disbelief.

"He will, I will enter the palace myself. Yelan's gaze was full of confidence, which made her feel very relieved.

"Thank you. ”

"May I ask you a question?"

"What?"

"Why are you asking me for help?"

"I think His Royal Highness the King of Light will help me. Lie Beiyao looked at his gaze and continued, "Because in prison...... You said it. ”

"So you...... ...... me" Yelan's eyes were full of anticipation, and at that moment, his heartbeat seemed to stop.

"I don't know. Lie Beiyao lowered his head, his face flushed slightly. "But for King Gong and Ye Shu, I don't know. ”

"That's enough. Yelan slowly approached her, Lie Beiyao didn't dodge, they were getting closer and closer, close enough to hear each other's breathing clearly, "I still have a chance, that's enough." ”

"Then can I ask you a question?" Lie Beiyao suddenly raised his head, and his gaze happened to meet Yelan's clear eyes.

"You say. Yelan replied softly.

"You said you liked me for another reason. Lie Beiyao looked at Yelan and continued, "What else. ”

"Same identity, same experience, same fate. Yelan looked straight at her, his gaze determined, and he didn't dodge in the slightest.

"I don't understand. Lie Beiyao's eyes hesitated slightly, his brows frowned slightly, and he looked at Yelan with some puzzlement.

"You'll understand. Yelan just replied.

......

"Mingxu, help me prepare the carriage and horses, I want to enter the palace. Yelan changed into a bright yellow official uniform - that is the clothing of the commander of the heart department, according to the Nine Dust Etiquette Law, you have to wear an official uniform when you meet the emperor, but what you wear is Yelan decides.

Because Yelan is a prince, he can not only wear the black clothes of the prince of Jiuchen with red edges, but also according to his official position, he can wear the clothes of the heart department, but Yelan generally likes the latter.

"Entering the palace?" Ming Xu was puzzled, "What are you doing in the palace at this time?"

"Don't ask just yet. Yelan straightened his neckline, "By the way, call the Northern Guard Division, the Executive Division, the Guard Division, and the Tiyin Division." ”

"Shouldn't the others be called?"

"Who said it was about going on a campaign? Yelan glanced at him, "These are my cronies, and I have something to order." ”

"Okay, I got it. Mingxu nodded, "I'll let them wait in the main hall." ”

"You arrange. ”

......

"Your Highness, why did you enter the palace at this time?" Huangfu Xun brought a few guards with him, and Yelan did not ride a horse, but chose to enter the palace in a carriage. - According to Jiuchen's regulations, both the prince and the iron-blooded army can ride into the palace, and Yelan is used to riding horses, but this time he chose to take a carriage.

"Mingxu has already asked, and he will know in a while. Yelan replied to him lightly, lowered the curtain, and then took out the booklet handed to him by Yejun from his arms, and unfolded the booklet, on which more than a dozen names were written, as well as their official positions and backgrounds.

"Reserve Deputy Commander Zuo Zongquan, Deputy Commander Zuo Zongliang, Captain Zuo Liuqi, Zuo Sanbao, Captain Zuo Shuyang...... Are all surnamed Zuo?" Yelan muttered, "It seems that this is full of offending Yejun." ”

Looking at their life history to the side, as Yelan expected, they are all members of the Zuo clan, Zuo Zongquan Zuo Zongliang is a brother, they were once the subordinates of King Yi Yeji, and later they were dismissed from their official positions because of corruption and perversion of the law, and they were incorporated into the reserve force.

Even though he was assigned to the reserves, he still retained his original position and was a deputy commander. As for Zuo Liuqi and Zuo Sanbao, they are the sons of Zuo Zongquan of Zuo Zongquan, and Zuo Shuyang is Zuo Zongquan's nephew, in short, these people are related to each other.

"Yejun and Yejun ......" Yelan closed his eyes and thought about it repeatedly, but he didn't notice that the two had a feud or anything. The two of them rarely intersect, maybe they just have a grudge against the Zuo family.

"Your Highness, you have arrived in front of the gate of the Inner Palace. Huangfu Xun lifted the curtain of the carriage and said to Yelan, who took the booklet back into his arms, "Got it." ”

After speaking, Yelan jumped down from the carriage, habitually tidied up his clothes, and walked in the direction of the Taiji Palace, the Taiji Gate guard stopped him, and the guard clasped his fists and saluted, "Your Highness, may I ask if you have a warrant?"

"You can tell me now. Yelan glanced at him coldly.

"This ......" The guard looked at his companion hesitantly, as if he didn't know whether to agree to Yelan's request.

"The Commander of the Heart Department himself has the right to enter and leave the palace at will, and now His Royal Highness has asked you to inform you, why are you hesitating, do you have to ask us to show the token!" Huang Fu Xun shouted on the side.

"Please forgive the commander, it's just that the emperor is not in the Taiji Palace, so I don't dare to make a claim. The guard hurriedly explained.

"Where is Father now?" Yelan asked.

"Back to His Highness, the Emperor is now in the Imperial Garden. The warden replied respectfully.

"The emperor asked, go. Yelan turned to the emperor and asked, who nodded, and Yelan walked towards the imperial garden.

When he arrived at the Imperial Garden, Yelan saw Emperor Zhaoning playing chess with Fan Bozhong in the pavilion from a distance, he motioned to the Emperor Fu and the guards of the Guangwang Mansion to wait outside the Imperial Garden, and walked to Emperor Zhaoning alone, and bowed to Emperor Zhaoning, "Erchen to see my father." ”

"Yelan, get up. Emperor Zhaoning threw the chess pieces back into the chess box and turned to look at Yelan, "Why didn't you come to the palace if you didn't inspect the reserve forces at this time?"

"The son is here to ask his father for a will. Yelan said simply, "I ask my father to let Princess Beixuan go on the expedition with her sons." ”

"Are you kidding me?" Emperor Zhaoning looked at Yelan with a smile.

"Beixuan is located in the north, bordering the rebels, and the princess is familiar with the terrain there, and the princess's entourage may come in handy. Besides, the princess missed His Royal Highness King Gong very much, and begged her sons to take her with her, but her sons could not refuse. Yelan explained simply, her gaze was very cold.

"Okay. But how can the safety of the princess be guaranteed?Now that the east has fallen, the border is not peaceful, how can it be good if the two armies are injured in a confrontation?" Emperor Zhaoning looked at Yelan, his tone was very calm, and he was not angry at Yelan's request.

"Please rest assured that the princess is only staying at the command post and there is no potential safety hazard. Yelan replied.

"Well, since you're so swearing, then I'll say yes. Emperor Zhaoning said to Yelan.

"Son-in-law, thank your father. Yelan knelt down and thanked him.

"But if something happens to the princess, I am the only one who asks!"

"Yes. Yelan bowed his head and said.
