While the battle line of the Chu army was moving north at an incredible speed, another battle was staged in the garrison Fuzhong. It's just that on this battlefield where there is no smoke of gunpowder, Prince Changping, who commands Ruoding, will do the things that win the hearts of the people like others, elegant and fresh.

Qin Nanxi had already received Liu Qi's warning, and waited in the wing room in the backyard of the garrison mansion all day. Every day, Liu Qi would send A Luo to tell her the battle report before the battle and some affairs in the city.

Liu Qi himself was also very cautious, in addition to receiving battle reports every day and making biographies, he also barely left the garrison. Qin Nanxi and Liu Qi, although they live together in the garrison mansion and are only separated by a wall, except for occasional coincidental meetings, Liu Qi never takes the initiative to meet with Qin Nanxi. And although Qin Nanxi was calm on the surface, worry and concern filled her heart, so that she didn't realize the strangeness hidden in Liu Qi's extraordinary quietness, and his attitude of deliberately avoiding or even avoiding her.

No matter how deep I feel that life is like a year, I have also survived it. In the wax moon, the weather is getting drier and colder. Seki has only experienced a great war, and this winter is especially difficult. Prince Changping, who was sitting in the garrison mansion, was even busier. He shuttled between the people of the city and the garrison camp all day long, and occasionally had free time, and had to communicate with the soldiers and horses who had been called by justice and came to King Qin. It's really non-stop. In the past, the elegant man who was like a breeze and moon also showed a little tired and emaciated in this rush, but his spirit was more vigorous than ever, and his dark eyes occasionally flashed with the ecstasy of his long-cherished wish.

Prince Changping, who is running around in the beautiful name of the waves, is busy and flawless, Qin Nanxi still hides in the room every day. It's just that, unlike the usual absent-mindedness all day, today's trance in her mind was recalled by the sound of the wooden door outside.

Hearing the heavy creak of the wooden door, Qin Nanxi looked up, but saw that Ah Luo was rushing into the hall with the corner of her skirt in three or two steps. Ah Luo's hibiscus-like little face was rarely flushed with excitement, and when he saw Qin Nanxi, he didn't care about the etiquette that had never been leaked in the past, so he only laughed out loud and said, "I'm back!" ”

Qin Nanxi put down the book, hurriedly got up and walked in front of her, while raising his hand to wipe the beads of sweat from the corner of A Luo's forehead, while laughing and quipping: "I said before that we are used to seeing each other every day, and we don't need to see each other again and again." At that time, who was stubborn and didn't dare to abolish etiquette? Why is it that in just two days, your husband has indulged you in this picture? ”

Ah Luo's right hand stroked the heart that was still fluctuating violently, pursed her lips, and said: "Miss, forgive me, Ah Luo heard the news, and only ran all the way to report the news, and in a hurry, he lost his manners." Please forgive me! ”

Qin Nanxi helped her up: "Okay, okay, your husband is also bizarre, the rules on weekdays are comparable to those in the palace, and I don't know why he tosses you so much!" ”

This was originally just a joke that didn't matter, but Ah Luo was clearly stunned when he heard it, and then hurriedly lowered his eyes, bowed down and said to Qin Nanxifu: "It's Ah Luo who is stupid, and Mr. must teach a few more words." My husband doesn't have a lot of rules, and Mr. just taught Ah Luo to be polite, know etiquette, and know how to advance and retreat..."

Qin Nanxi was amused by A Luo's solemn expression: "Okay, I must mention your husband!" I'm just joking. That's how you protect your husband! Miss Arlo should not be surprised. In this big wax month, we are trapped here. If I don't joke with you, I really don't know how to get through this day. Before the words fell, the joy in Qin Nanxi's words had been covered by shallow worry, and the eyes that unconsciously drifted out of the window were full of uncontrollable expectations and thoughts, and he didn't notice that Ah Luo next to him was covering his lips and smiling.

Although Ah Luo is strict in etiquette on weekdays, she and Qin Nanxi are compatible after all, and after the ceremony, there is a lot of intimacy between the girls in the boudoir: "Miss only cares about joking, why don't you ask Ah Luo why she rushed in so hurriedly today?" ”

Qin turned around in response, saw Ah Luo's smiling expression, blushed with embarrassment, lowered his eyes and avoided her, and said, "Didn't Ah Luo come to tell me that His Royal Highness Prince Changping has come back to care for the soldiers and civilians?" ”

Ah Luo shook his head and smiled: "These days, when is the prince of Changping not the soldiers and civilians in the city who go out early and return late?" Even such a thing as bandaging the wounded soldiers with his own hands, His Highness is willing to do it. Going in and out is naturally very common, how could Ah Luo forget even the number of etiquette for this happy thing? After Ah Luo finished speaking, he tilted his head and stared at Qin Nanxi with a smile, and his big eyes were full of smart smiles.

Qin Nanxi looked at the sly smile on the corner of her lips, and suddenly understood, only to feel a sudden palpitation in her heart, and worked hard for a moment before she restrained the trembling in her voice, and asked lightly: "You mean, Brother Yi, he's back?" ”

Ah Luo squinted and smiled, nodded fiercely and chattered: "Naturally, the general is triumphant!" But the gentleman said that the general only came from the Amiri Mountain! This is not as fast as chasing Kou, but I am afraid that it will take a few days to enter the customs! ”

"Is he really back? Is this news true? Qin Nanxi was surprised and delighted, confirmed with some disbelief, pinched A Luo's ten fingers, and trembled slightly with excitement.

Ah Luo thoughtfully held her fingertips and affirmed: "It was Mr. who said it, and the military report has been delivered to Mr." When it has been submitted to the prince, presumably the prince will be able to see the news when he comes back tonight. Mr. said that this victory is not only the most important victory since the founding of our Great Chu, but also the happiest victory in the past 50 years! The army led by the general himself forced Di Bing to retreat to the north of Mount Amiri. It is said that along the way, the corpses of the dead and wounded Di soldiers paved the road, piled up into small hills, and the blood flowed like a river......."

"Is he hurt?" Qin Nanxi listened to Ah Luo's eyebrows flying and dancing, but the original joy and excitement were slowly replaced by worry.

She knows very well that in the past, above the court, and in the history books, she will only care about and record whether the purpose of the war is achieved. Only strategic objectives are used as the criterion for victory or defeat.

Originally, Qin Nanxi thought that Situ Yi was just going to relieve the siege of Tongguan this time and force back the Beidi attack. She didn't expect that he would lead his army all the way north, pouring out his eight years of preparation in this battle. This, she did not expect, Beidi was also defenseless. Judging from the current situation, his purpose in this battle is far from being as simple as breaking the siege, he wants to secure the outside and the inside, spread the prestige of the country, strike at the main force of Beidi, completely defeat the "Iron Thunderbolt" combat force, and force Beidi to surrender again. For these purposes alone, he was a great victory. However, what about the casualties of the Chu army? Ah Luo didn't say it, I was afraid that it was also a passing pass in the battle report, and Liu Qi didn't care about it.

As the saying goes, if you kill a thousand enemies, you will lose eight hundred. What's more, this time, he is facing Beidi's strong "Iron Thunderbolt". And he has always been known for leading by example. He was adept at using a stiff bow and a steel crossbow, and it is said that in every battle, he always took the lead and went straight into the enemy's line, never turning his horse's head to avoid danger before the enemy was within his range.

Asouf said he was covered in wounds. That time, after such a vicious battle, I don't know if he can be injured again...... Thinking of this, Qin Nanxi only felt that her heart trembled, and her breathing became shallow.

Ah Luo was frightened by her sudden and sad eyes, bit her lip to stop talking, and looked at her suspiciously. She didn't understand why Szeto's message of triumph had made her worried.

Qin Nanxi bit the corner of his lip and said in a low voice: "I'm afraid that Mr. Liu doesn't know if he is injured, and he won't mention it in the battle report." When did he put his body on his mind? After thinking about it, he smiled again: "It's really confused, he returned to the dynasty triumphantly, naturally it is great news for the whole country of Great Chu, how can I ...... instead" Saying, Qin Nanxi took a deep breath and quietly hid the softest love thread in his heart into the righteousness. That's the connection between her and him, so why bother?

"If I were a young lady, I wouldn't be so happy!"

Qin Nanxi, who was secretly contemplating, and Ah Luo, who was concentrating on the side, were shocked, and they both raised their heads, only to see Liu Qi slowly coming in from outside the door, his cold voice, just like his pale mask, without a trace of emotion.
