Ziyu won General Hua's affirmation, and the three returned to the first battalion.

"What about General Qian's corpse?" asked Li.

General Hua told her: "I will have the body wrapped up and brought back to Weiguo after a while." Worry, you must remember that General Qian died at the hands of the Liguo people! ”

Li Wei nodded: "Worry understands." ”

Ziyu added a sentence on the side: "In this encirclement and suppression, only General Qian was killed, and the other generals were spared." ”

"Did anyone else see you with the Chinese people?" General Hua asked.

Ziyu replied, "No." ”

General Hua said in a low voice.

Then it will be fine: "The other soldiers who fled will not leave behind their wives and children in the country, they are only frightened for a moment, and when they understand it, they will join the three battalions in front." In this way, it can also corroborate our words. ”

Subsequently, General Hua announced the return of the eldest prince in the center of the first battalion, and specially emphasized that Hua Xiaojiu's protector was meritorious and suffered internal injuries, and rewarded him for being able to ride in the chariot with the general.

Li Wei glanced at her mouth, although she knew in her heart that this was her uncle's protection for her, but the road behind her had to be accompanied by her uncle day and night, and she must be talked about all the way, and it would be uncomfortable to think about it!

Sure enough, the chariot had not yet traveled ten miles, and General Hua said a hundred words of lesson.

"Uncle, have you drawn all the maps?" Liwu interrupted him, trying to divert the conversation.

General Hua sighed: "It has been completed, but this kingdom is indeed very barren, although their current drought has been resolved, there will still be a bitter battle one day! ”

Li Wu thought silently in her heart, not so much that Nan Yu was the future monarch, but that she didn't even see who the current monarch was. Everything is led by Nan Xu, and he is already the king there.

"By the way, where is Zhao Yi? Is he hurt?" Li Wei remembered his eldest brother who had not been around for a long time.

General Hua glanced at her, with some sadness in his eyes: "When I found him, he was already angry. ”

"No! they... How can they be so cruel!!" shouted in fear.

General Hua frowned, and he put his finger to his lips to signal that he was silent.

"This is war. Zhao Yi can't be used only by them, they will kill him sooner or later! Even if we Hua family, if we can't reach a consensus with them, there is only one way to go. ”

"But the Hua family has been loyal for generations. ”

"So what? Even if they know that the prosperity is too much, they will have to work hard to get it! Now that His Majesty's physical condition is getting worse and worse, if the crown prince sits on the throne of the monarch, we may have to be the burial of the supreme throne, just like Zhao Yi!" General Hua said solemnly.

Li Wei lowered his eyes, secretly sad, and stopped talking.

She remembered that she and Lu Quan were actually the same as Ziyu, and everyone was of the same origin.

However, one is desperate to protect her, and the other is bent on harming her.

"You have a daughter, and my uncle doesn't want to tell you that. But now, you have been through so much, you must no longer be merciful, even siblings must be deviating from each other. General Hua continued.

Li Wu raised his face, and there was a trace of confusion in his eyes: "Do you want even Ziyu?"

General Hua bowed his head: "The world is hot and cold, the eldest prince always has his reason to protect you, if you are not the princess of Chaoyang, if you don't have the support of the Hua family behind you, do you think he will treat you like this?"

She didn't like this realistic statement.

"I understand what my uncle said. However, why didn't we make use of Ziyu? The Hua family is just a military general, and the sorrow is just a woman, different from the prince. We can only pray for the protection of the monarch, and the monarch's ministers have to die, and assisting Ziyu is the way to survive. ”

General Hua smiled faintly: "I'm just telling you this, but I'm just teaching you not to trust anyone completely." The interests of the world are entangled, and everyone has a time when they can't help themselves, so be careful everywhere, and not trust and believe wholeheartedly! In this way, we can survive forever. ”

I don't want to talk about these anymore.

She felt dizzy, and slowly fell asleep leaning on the chariot.

When I woke up, it was already night, and I couldn't see my fingers in the chariot, and I couldn't hear any human voices.

I vaguely remember that my uncle seemed to have called her a few times, but she was too tired to wake up.

Li Wu climbed out of the car, and the soldier who was standing on the side and did not sleep immediately walked over and handed her some dry food.

"General Hua said that if you wake up, let you go to his tent to rest. ”

"Uncle, oh no, where is General Hua's account?"

The soldier pointed in the right direction.

Li frowned and glanced at it, and then asked, "Where is the eldest prince's account?"

The soldier pointed in the opposite direction.

Li Wei smiled: "I know, I just bothered you to guard me, you can go to sleep now." ”

Then, after the soldier left, he slowly walked towards Ziyu's tent.

She looked up at the moon in the sky, it was almost midnight, she had just slept all afternoon, and she was afraid that she was going to lose sleep.

Before he could get completely close, the soldiers outside the Ziyu tent stopped Li Wei: "The eldest prince has already slept, and General Hua's tent is over there." ”

"Oh. She almost forgot that she was now 'Hua Xiaojiu', and then turned around and walked to the other side.

"Let him in. He hadn't gone far when he heard a deep voice coming from the tent.

When she turned around, she squeezed into the tent, and the generals stopped her.

There was a sound in the tent, and Ziyu lit the oil lamp.

"No, don't shine. Li Wu said suddenly.

Ziyu was stunned, and then immediately blew out the oil lamp.

Liwu groped his way over, until he touched his shoulder, and his heart became steady.

"Did I disturb you?"

"No, I didn't. Ziyu replied softly.

Li Wei smiled, slowly sat down beside him, and then rested her head on his shoulder like a kitten.

"Brother, I can't sleep. ”

"Then stay here, I still have two books here, do you want to read them?"

"No, just talk to me. The voice of the sorrow was low.

Ziyu sighed lightly and said, "You'er, you're not happy. ”

Li Wei bit his lip, thinking that he couldn't hide it from him.

"Today in my uncle's chariot, my uncle said that in this monarch's house, even blood relatives cannot be trusted. ”

He was right. Where the rich and noble gather, people often rebel and leave. Ziyu replied lightly.

He sat up straight and said indignantly: "But my uncle also said, brother, you are also protecting me and spoiling me in order to use me! If I were not the princess of Chaoyang, you would not treat me so well!"

Ziyu was stunned for a while, and then asked, "So, do you believe it?"

"I don't know. Liwu's honest answer, she really couldn't tell the difference.

Ziyu suddenly felt a little frustrated, and sighed to herself, "Is it...?"

"It doesn't matter to me, though. Li Wu continued, "If my brother wants to use me, then use it!"

"You... You said... What..."Ziyu felt indifferent.

Li Wei held his hand in the dark: "I am very grateful that I am the princess of Chaoyang, and I am also glad that I was born in the Hua family, so I have the value of being used by my brother." It doesn't matter if I believe it or not, I just want to help my brother and I don't care what he thinks. If you can be cruel to me, on the contrary, I will feel more gratified. ”

"Don't... Don't be like this..."Ziyu didn't want to listen to it, he already owed her too much, and he couldn't stand it anymore.

Sensing his evasion, Li Wei hugged him and whispered on his shoulder: "I know that you have not dared to trust anyone since you were a child, and you have suffered a lot. It's so hard to get to this point, so hard that even I can't understand it! But brother, I'll help you from now on, willingly! Please don't worry about getting me involved, now we're grasshoppers tied to a rope, and no one wants to kick anyone off!"

For a long time, there was silence all around, and no one spoke.

Li Wei felt Ziyu's shoulders shake slightly, and then, some burning liquid fell on the side of her neck.

She smiled and patted him lightly on the back, just as the mother had comforted her in a nightmare.

Five days later, all the troops that had gone to Liguo returned to Weiguo.

Ruidi recently contracted a cold and was unable to stay, and the greeting of the entire team was handled by the Ministry of Education.

On that day, Empress Yan cooperated with the prince to stand in front of the council hall early to greet her.

She had already learned of General Qian's death and the news of the safe return of the eldest prince.

The wind and waves of more than ten years have made this woman in charge of Fengyin more mature.

She recalled yesterday's angry shouting at the prince, this child was always too impulsive, and almost had to go behind his back to order the killer to assassinate Ziyu.

You must know that General Qian died inexplicably, there is already a lack of people in the battalion, and General Hua is by Ziyu's side, such an assassination is doomed to failure, if they capture the assassin again and force the mastermind to be asked, I am afraid that even she will not be able to keep the position of the prince.

Ruidi has reached the end of the strong crossbow, you can be wrong at any time, even now, you can't make a mistake!

Near noon, Empress Yan stood on a high platform, there was no monarch by her side, only she had the highest status.

With her head held high and her eyes slightly lowered, she saw the huge fan-shaped palace door open in the distance.

There were so many people, but she saw Ziyu at a glance.

It's just that for a moment, the original calmness is gone.

Ziyu sat on her horse and looked at her coldly.

It's only been a month, and the original evasion in his eyes, asking for all to be gone, is replaced by unwillingness, hatred, and a trace of emperor-like arrogance.

Queen Yan was captured by such a gaze, and she was defeated in a hurry, and cowardly withdrew her arrogance.

This situation is just like a peacock meeting a phoenix, even a colorful feather has to bow down at the feet of this proud son of the sky.

She thought uneasily that the big picture might not have been decided yet.
