Chaoxi and Feng Nianyi made up their minds after speaking, she was not in a hurry to contact Jin Guo, but first told Jun Buxian about the matter, Jun Buxian was surprised after hearing it, "I really didn't expect the ninth princess to have such a thought, her heart is not ordinary, although the ninth princess took the initiative to be willing, but this matter has to be considered in the long run." ”

Chaoxi raised his eyebrows, "What do you think?"

Jun Buxian smiled, "As far as I know, the prince of Yan has a secret minister in the palace of the king of Jin, and at this time the Jin country is the time to hesitate, it is better to let the subordinates of the Jin country make a statement to the king of Jin, and take advantage of the fact that the king of Jin has not abdicated, and let the king of Jin order to ask for marriage to the Shu country, so that it will not appear that we take the initiative, but also make Ji Wujian respect the nine princesses more." ”

Chaoxi smiled and bowed his head, "I also thought of this, and I really want to ask him." Saying that, she frowned slightly, "But I don't know if something has happened to Yan Guo in the past few days, and there are suddenly fewer letters from him." ”

In fact, it is not a sudden decrease, but it has become the frequency of their separation, at that time, Shang Jue was in a hurry, changing places every day, and receiving letters from day and night was slow, and the speed of replying to letters was naturally slow.

"Yan Guo...... Today's Yan State is nothing more than a foreign enemy like Zhao State, at most, plus a Chiling clan in the north, maybe the Chiling clan has invaded the border again? If this is the case, Zhao Guo will take advantage of the fire to rob the chances of victory will be much higher. ”

Jun Buxian's tone is solemn, the world knows that Yan is in the north of the entire Dayin, and the defense line in the north of Dayin is all in the territory of Yan, and in the north, there is a clan named Chi Ling, this clan has the courage of the barbarians, but it is more bloody and cruel than the barbarians, the Chi Ling clan lives in the north of the Vermilion Bird Mountains all the year round, because of the perennial bitter cold, so it invades the north of the Yan country, and harasses the people in the north of the Yan country all the year round.

The Chiling clan used to be the biggest foreign enemy of the Yan Kingdom, but now if there is another Zhao State, the Yan Kingdom will be in danger.

Chaoxi didn't take the Chiling clan into account, but when he heard Jun Buxian's words at this moment, his heart suddenly sank slightly.

Could it be that Yan Guo is really in turmoil? However, the two places are thousands of miles apart, that is, there is any news, when she knows it, it will be three or five days later, she exhales, as if she is comforting herself, "It's okay, Yan Guo has nine cities, there are Longye, and Yu Kun, the Wenliang I have seen cannot be underestimated, and it will not be chaotic." ”

Jun Buxian also nodded, "It's not so easy to mess up, don't worry." ”

The internal troubles of Shu have not been resolved, and they are so far away, they really don't know what to do, so they thought about it and said, "I will immediately send a message to him to promote the marriage between the Jin State and the Shu State, so that at least the Zhao State will not really pull the Jin State over." ”

Jun Buxian nodded, "Okay, it doesn't matter if the Jin Kingdom is on the wall, I am most afraid that he will face the Zhao Kingdom." ”

So agreed, the day and night immediately repaired the book to the Yan country, the letter after four days, appeared in Shang Jue's hand, at this moment Shang Jue, people have arrived at the border of Yan country, when he got the letter, he was a little surprised, how did he not expect that Chaoxi would send Feng Nianyi to the Jin Kingdom, he understood the day and night, so thinking about it, suddenly thought that maybe this matter is Feng Nianyi's own will.

Shang Jue did not delay, and ordered someone to send news to the Jin Kingdom, at the same time, Duan Qi's letter from Baling to Yongzhou also came to Shang Jue's hands, Duan Qi's departure, it means that the major events they planned have been arranged, and there will be an incident one day, Shang Jue suddenly wanted to put on a pair of wings and fly to Baling, but what stood in front of him was the mountains and rivers, if he didn't cross over, where could he see the day and night, this time, Shang Jue still chose to go through the Jin Kingdom.

Although it is within the Jin Kingdom, it is also on the side of the Zhao Kingdom, Shang Jue looked at the Zhan Jiucheng and Long Ye in front of him and ordered, "Xiao Jiu still go with me, Xiaolong, you are still in charge of the border, and deploy according to the previous arrangement." ”

Long Ye had a cold face, but when he faced Shang Jue, he was gentle and respectful.

"Yes, Your Highness can rest assured, in the name of His Highness's greeting army, arrange soldiers and horses, Tatsuno knows what to do. ”

Shang Jue nodded, and then looked at Zhan Jiucheng, Zhan Jiucheng hurriedly said, "Your Highness, rest assured, the vanguard has entered the territory of the Jin Kingdom, and everything that can be done along the way has been done, and the people in the rest of the places know what to do." ”

Shang Jue's head, in October, the biggest thing in Yan is the wedding of His Royal Highness, whether it is the army of relatives or the martial law on the border, it is reasonable, these tricks are naturally not hidden from Zhao Yi, but Shang Jue is really willing to use thousands of troops and horses to welcome the day, "We must rush to Baling at the end of October." ”

Shang Jue commanded again, and Zhan Jiucheng raised his head, "Your Highness, rest assured, the Flame Rider has never disgraced its mission!"

Shang Jue naturally believed in the words of the Nine Cities, and then glanced at Long Ye and turned over his horse, "Okay, you go back to the camp, let's go first, and the movements of Zhao Guo will be sent to Shu as soon as possible." ”

"Yes, Tatsuno understands, Your Highness has had a good trip. ”

The voice settled, Shang Jue took advantage of the night to go towards the Jinyan border, the border line of Yue Kingdom, one step closer to Shu Kingdom, the battle nine cities royal horse followed Shang Jue, and there were more than ten ink clothes after the two, and the horse whip of the nine cities of Zhan Jiucheng waved sharply to keep up with Shang Jue's speed, "Your Highness really doesn't plan to tell the princess in advance that you are going to Baling?"

Shang Jue's eyes narrowed, "Let her think that I am still in Yan Kingdom, so as not to worry." ”

Zhan Jiucheng didn't say much, but thinking about it gave birth to a little expectation.

If Shang Jue suddenly appeared in front of Chaoxi, what kind of expression would Chaoxi have?

·

In October, the weather gradually turned cold, and one brazier in the frost and snow platform became two braziers, Duan Jinyi used to be clothed and fed, and in winter, the prescriptions of the imperial doctor to regulate temperature and replenishment were one after another, and now when she arrived at the frost and snow platform, she naturally lost these treatments, and as soon as she lost these treatments, her body was somewhat weak, and the first one was cold.

Most of the flowers outside are slanted, and the leaves of the green plants are also beginning to turn yellow, Duan Jinyi leans in front of the window and looks at the scenery outside, his eyes seem calm, but the bottom of his deep pupils faintly shows a little burnt.

"Master, the general's man is here. Cinnabar silently reported at the door.

Duan Jinyi came back to his senses, turned his head and saw Cinnabar leading the little waiter last time in, this time the little waiter didn't have anything in his hand, and when he came in, he still bowed first and then hung his head with a faint expression.

"Love, the general has left Baling seven days ago, Baling does not know about this matter, the slave was ordered to come in and tell the beloved, the general left, Baling was handed over to Mr. Jiang in charge, Mr. Jiang said, please two people do not be impatient and continue to wait, to the end of October, the escort arranged for Mrs. to leave, these days, Mrs. must not show flaws. ”

After the waiter finished speaking, Duan Jinyi's brows furrowed a little, Duan Qi left so early? That's right, not to mention how many days he has to go to Yongzhou, Yongzhou must have many things waiting for him to deal with, and it is appropriate to leave early.

But...... For some reason, when Duan Jinyi heard that Duan Qi had left, she suddenly felt a slight chill in her heart, not that she blamed Duan Qi for leaving without taking her, but that she faintly had a premonition that this palace was not so good, and Duan Qi took the first step, and Duan Jinyi was not at ease with the remaining Duan clan forces and that Mr. Jiang.

Although he thought so, Duan Jinyi still bowed his head, "I know, did Mr. Jiang say how to leave?"

The waiter shook his head, "The slave is only responsible for telling the lover what the husband wants to say, and the lover asked, but the master didn't say." ”

In other words, she didn't know anything else, Duan Jinyi squinted at the waiter for a moment, "Well, I know, but you tell Mr. Jiang, it's best to tell me how to leave as soon as possible, so that we can prepare in advance, so as not to get in a hurry, and he is afraid that he doesn't know so much about the extent of this palace prohibition." ”

The chamberlain nodded, said nothing else, saluted, turned and withdrew.

As soon as the chamberlain left, Cinnabar hurriedly closed the door, and then looked at Duan Jinyi with a little palpitations in his eyes, "Master, the general has already left?" Even Cinnabar knew that Duan Qi's departure meant that the entire Duan clan in Baling had been temporarily abandoned, although he hoped that he would come back, but if things leaked out at this time, Duan Qi would be able to protect himself, but the Duan clan left behind by Baling would suffer, Cinnabar understood that Duan Qi, who was the leader, could only do this, but she still had a trace of fear.

"If the general doesn't leave, this matter will not be done. As if knowing what Cinnabar was thinking, Duan Jinyi patted her shoulder comfortingly, "Don't worry, it's okay, the general left Mr. Jiang." ”

"Is Mr. Jiang the general's staff?" Zhu Sha asked, seeing Duan Jinyi nodding, she said worriedly, "Can Mr. Jiang really rescue us......?"

Cinnabar's suspicion is also Duan Jinyi's suspicion, but Duan Jinyi didn't say it, she only nodded firmly, "The general left him behind, and the stall in Baling was all dispatched by Mr. Jiang, we have to trust the general's judgment, and this Mr. Jiang has been with the general for many years, and the natural means are extraordinary, so we will wait." ”

Cinnabar nodded, what other way is there but waiting?

Thinking like this, Cinnabar's heart jumped up a little uneasily, "Master, will the general's departure be discovered, will this discovery be exposed?" If the matter is exposed, then we ...... it."

Then they are the sinners, and they will not be released from the palace under any circumstances, maybe a cup of poisonous wine will be sent in at that time.

Duan Jinyi smiled, "What you said is also possible." ”

Cinnabar's face turned pale suddenly, she had followed Duan Jinyi for many years, although she had seen a lot of storms, but in the end it was all the means of the women in the inner palace, and she understood that what Duan Qi wanted to do this time was different from the previous murder calculations in the open and secret.

"Master, don't deliberately scare the slave!"

Duan Jinyi looked at the cinnabar, and gathered the robe on his body, seeing this, cinnabar hurriedly added two pieces of carbon to the brazier, in the past, there was a earth dragon in the Zhaoren Palace, and there was no spark in the house, and there was no smell of carbon, even if it was a small warm pavilion in the side hall that occasionally burned a stove, it was also a good silver wire carbon, and the charcoal burned with firepower, and there was no smoke at all, but now, the carbon obtained by the frost and snow platform is almost the plain carbon that the masters of the inner palace can't look down on, and the whole house can be burned from time to time, but in a few days, the smell of smoke in this room can not be removed, at first Duan Jinyi was still very disgusted, but now, he is used to itIn the midst of this long and tormented wait, this somewhat pungent fireworks made her feel at ease.

"It's not to scare you, it's just to tell the truth, you know it in your own heart, you just want me to comfort you a few words, right? Duan Jinyi smiled and looked at Cinnabar a little funny, "Cinnabar, don't be afraid, even if you are afraid, you have to endure it, we have no other way to go, even if we lose, or we can't escape, it's just like that, it's fate." ”

"It's all fate" when the three words came out of Duan Jinyi's mouth, Cinnabar had a moment of trance, in the past, Duan Jinyi's favorite thing to say was the four words "She doesn't believe in fate", because she didn't believe in fate, she sat in the position of the queen, and only in charge of the Shu Inner Palace for so many years, and now, she actually said that it was all fate?

Cinnabar couldn't cry or laugh, she couldn't compare to Duan Jinyi, no matter what, she was still a little panicked in her heart.

"It's already the middle of October now, which means that we have to wait for ten days before we can leave, will the six sons leave in the next ten days? Will the movements of the Yongzhou camp be discovered? If the general wants to start an incident, the Yongzhou army will definitely go north to Baling, and the movement will definitely be not small at that time. Cinnabar's hands were tightly twisted together, and her brows were furrowed.

Duan Jinyi was really a little helpless, and was about to speak but coughed lightly, while tugging his robe again, he turned his head to look at the stove, "Why is it still so cold, there is no temperature." ”

The room in Shuangxuetai is not big, and the two braziers are already a little stuffy without opening the windows, Cinnabar carefully looked at Duan Jinyi's complexion, his heart tightened, and he stepped forward to probe Duan Jinyi's forehead.

"Ah, the master's forehead is so hot, the master is sick!"

Duan Jinyi said "Huh", she felt a little lazy, but she didn't feel much uncomfortable, that is, in addition to being cold or cold, she touched her forehead by herself, it seemed to be a little hot, but it didn't affect much.

"I'm afraid it's a cold, you go find some medicine, it's best not to get sick these days." ”

Of course, Cinnabar understands that it is not easy to escape, and if he is still sick at that time, it will be even more difficult to act, Cinnabar nodded, got up and went out to find the guard at the door, but after a while, she went and returned, and said with a bitter face, "Master, it is really too deceitful, the guards outside said that there is medicine in Shuangxuetai, and we will not be allowed to summon the imperial doctor, and they also said that this matter must be reported to the king, and only after we get a reply can we please, master, there is medicine in Shuangxuetai, but how can those medicines be used?"

Duan Jinyi smiled bitterly, "It's really ...... Okay, you go get some of your own medicine first, it's okay to have a little effect, it's good, why did you catch a cold, I didn't even get out of the house, and the windows didn't open much. ”

Duan Jinyi was a little depressed, how could he be in a good situation at this time?

After thinking for a while, he said, "It's really not good, ask that chamberlain to help." ”
