In the hazy daylight, the red horses neighed loudly in the stables, pacing back and forth from time to time, as if they were a little impatient. The little guys outside came in and out, carrying boxes and burdens, and poking their heads here and then from time to time. When King Lanling glanced at him lightly, the little servants immediately shrank their shoulders in fright, hurriedly carried the box and the flat burden, and slipped out the back door.

King Lanling retracted his gaze, looked at the girl in front of him, and repeated: "You said you want to go to the state with me?" ”

Yun Yao crushed a withered grass with her foot and said softly, "I don't want to stay in Yecheng. There are a lot of people here, and there are a lot of people I don't want to meet. Although there are sisters in the palace and uncles in the city, they are not comfortable after all. And I'm ......," she paused, before adding, "there are some secrets that I don't want anyone else to know." Since the king is going to Bingzhou, you might as well take me with you along the way, okay? ”

She raised her head slightly, looked at King Lanling, and repeated, "Okay?" ”

The trace of doubt in King Lanling's eyes dissipated. He took half a step forward, looked down at her, and said helplessly, "Do you know what kind of place it is?" There are always Turkic invasions, and there are bandits. What are you doing there with a girl's house? And I'......," he said abruptly, and then continued after a moment, "if you don't want to stay in Yecheng, then go to Lanling County." I will send you there, and I will not teach you to endure hardship. King Lanling's voice was low, still gentle.

Yun Yao lowered her eyes and said softly, "Can the king write me a letter of resignation?" ”

King Lanling's expression froze, looking at her, unable to speak for a long time.

Yun Yao took out the letter from his sleeve, handed it to King Lanling, and continued: "The king said that he was a lone star in the sky, and he didn't want to delay me, so he let me go. But I don't believe in these numerology heresies. Therefore, this letter of release of wives should be taken back by the king. She took one of King Lanling's hands with both hands, slowly closed it, and asked him to hold the letter in the palm of her hand before continuing, "But if the king is unwilling to take me to Bingzhou, then write me a letter of resignation and let me go." ”

King Lanling pinched the neat letter and crumpled it into a crumpled ball.

"Do you know what you're talking about!" He said in a deep voice, "As soon as the letter of resignation comes out, it means that you are an abandoned woman in the next court, and you will have no face to return to your parents' house." If you come from an ordinary family, that's fine; But you are from the Zheng clan in Xingyang, where can the clan tolerate you. I can't even write a book to you, let alone Hugh...... Leave the book! When he said that, his feelings seemed to be a little out of control, and he didn't choose to say anything.

Yun Yao looked at him and said softly, "Is the king unwilling to write me a letter of resignation?" ”

"I can't write a word." King Lanling rubbed the ball of waste paper in his hand and ate it word by word.

Yun Yao suddenly laughed. She looked up at King Lanling, and in the hazy skylight, it seemed to be covered with a layer of glittering light. King Lanling unconsciously looked stupid, rubbed and rubbed the letter in his hand, and repeated: "I can't write a word." ”

It's like she's talking to her, and it's like she's talking to yourself.

She listened to him quietly, standing in the hazy sky and looking at him, with a smile in her eyes, like a quiet lake, gentle and peaceful. For a moment, he suddenly wanted to pick her up on the horse and gallop all the way to Bingzhou, leaving Yecheng far behind.

King Lanling tightly squeezed the ball of waste paper in his hand and crumpled it into a small hard ball:

"I ......"

"The King." Yun Yao called out to him, "Then according to the king's meaning, don't you dislike me?" ”

King Lanling was stunned and said, "Why do you have such an idea?" Never have I ever ...... I've hated you. ”

And on the contrary, the three days and three nights with her were the most peaceful and leisurely days in his life.

But no matter how much they like it, no matter how reluctant they are, they will eventually separate.

Because he didn't want to and couldn't take a girl with him.

King Lanling's eyes were a little gloomy, he straightened Li Yunyao's collar, and said in a low voice, "Go back." ”

Yun Yao held his hand and said slowly, word by word: "Since the king is not disgusted with me, and he is unwilling to write a letter of resignation and let me go, then why don't you want to take me to Bingzhou with you?" The king is my husband and a great general on the battlefield, even if there is a lot of war and bandits, can't the king protect me? Besides......" she lowered her head and said softly, "I don't believe in those numerology heresies, not a word. ”

-- The king is my husband.

King Lanling's whole body was shocked, and he was hit directly by those seven words.

He recalled the gentleness of the three days, the fragrance of the sycamore flowers in the courtyard, and his bride walked towards him step by step under the candlelight, smiling with her eyebrows and eyes, and asked in a low voice: Why should I be afraid of you? You are the hero who guards the Great Qi, why should I be afraid of you? Justified, like the only truth in heaven and earth, in those deep nights, she pillowed his arms and slept peacefully.

She was really not afraid of him, not at all.

King Lanling let go of his hand, and the small ball of waste paper fell into the grass and rolled away with a grunt.

The maroon horse neighed loudly in the stable, and snorted twice impatiently. There were two crisp sounds of weapons clashing outside, as if the little guy had knocked over two boxes. King Lanling lowered his head and looked at the smiling girl in the hazy skylight, and his voice echoed in the stables in a low voice:

"Even if you don't believe those fierce numerology theories, but there are no eyes on the battlefield, even I don't know that I suddenly died on the battlefield that day. You say that I am your husband, but how can I make you a survivor? ”

Yun Yao was stunned, glared at him again, and asked with some annoyance, "Then do you want to take me away?" ”

――I think.

The two words almost blurted out, and he swallowed them hard.

King Lanling made up his mind and wanted to find some reason to excuse himself. Suddenly, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside, and a small servant rushed in with a panicked expression, and kowtowed again and again: "Your lord, there is news in the palace, saying that someone in the court has been arrested and placed under martial law, and the whole city is banned. The king had better hurry up, it would be too late! After saying that, he hurriedly turned over a piece of wet paper from the placket of his clothes and handed it to King Lanling.

King Lanling glanced at it, and his eyebrows twisted deeply.

It was written on the paper that the prince of Daqi came again and arrested three senior officials of the court and put them in prison one after another, although it was only temporarily detained, but for a long time, Yecheng was afraid that he would be uneasy again. He read it all at a glance, then crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it into the brazier and burned it. The waste paper made a sound of peeling in the brazier, and soon a thick wisp of black smoke came out.

The king of Lanling untied the reins of the horse, and the red war horse neighed loudly, rubbing the tip of his nose against his shoulder, as if intimacy.

"Get out of the city before the hour." He commanded in a deep voice, "Although this matter has nothing to do with me, the whole city is closed, and it will be difficult to go out again." Hurry up and send your luggage out of the city, and then go to General Hu Lu and ask him to wait for me in the southern suburbs. “

With that, King Lanling grabbed Yun Yao's wrist and took her to the horse with a little bit.

Before Yun Yao could react, he was taken into his arms by King Lanling and rode out of the palace. The little guys came and went in the house, and the lights were still bright. A little fish belly white surfaced in the eastern sky, and the clouds rolled up into a red fire.

"Yecheng is about to change again." He attached it to her ear and said in a deep voice, "Every time the prince has a whim, Yecheng will be closed for three or two months. If you don't go out of the city this time, when the prince releases him next time, there will be a lot of variables. ”

Yun Yao nestled in his arms, listening to the whirring wind in his ears, and unconsciously shrunk his shoulders.

"Don't be afraid." King Lanling said in a low voice, "I'll take you out of the city, and then I'll send you to where you want to go." Your clothes, shoes and socks, I will send someone to buy them for you again. But in three or two months, you don't want to go back to Yecheng again, remember? ”

Yun Yao hummed softly, leaned into the crook of his arm, and said, "I'm not afraid." ”

King Lanling laughed heavily, and his chest shook together. He swung a whip at the horse under his crotch, and the horse neighed loudly and came out of the southern gate at a galloping speed. King Lanling deliberately did not take the west gate, because he was afraid that something would happen on the way and he would be intercepted.

But-

King Lanling looked at the ten-mile long pavilion outside the city gate, and had some bad premonitions in his heart. Sure enough, when he rode his horse past the long pavilion, the palace attendant's leisurely voice came from the long pavilion: "The king stays, Your Majesty has a will." ”

King Lanling's hand holding the reins tightened, slowly turned over and dismounted, hugged Yun Yao as well, and listened to the holy oracle.

The palace attendant said leisurely: "The king of Lanling went out of the city this time to stop the Turkic army from thousands of miles away, and he is a great hero of my great Qi. He gave a thumbs up and chuckled softly, "But how can the princess go with the army?" Therefore, His Majesty has a will: Princess Lanling entered the palace to accompany Zheng Zhaoyi, in order to express His Majesty's gratification and approval. The implication is that it is okay for King Lanling to leave, but at least the princess must stay.

King Lanling's heart suddenly tightened.

This is under house arrest, naked/naked house arrest.
