Chapter 46: The Meeting

In the past half a month, Fu Qingwu has to go to Guanju Palace almost every day, Chu Xiangwan couldn't bear to run back and forth when she had just had a miscarriage, so she persuaded her to stay in Yutang Palace to recuperate, but she said that it was because her child was gone, that she had to take good care of her sister and protect her sister's child. After Chu Xiangwan heard this, she felt even more guilty in her heart, Fu Qingwu's kindness to her made her unable to refuse anymore, and it should be to fulfill Fu Qingwu's pain of losing her child.

But Chu Xiangwan is sometimes very confused, Fu Qingwu's appearance does not look like she has just lost her son, but Chu Xiangwan often blames herself, or Fu Qingwu is comforting her. Maybe Fu Qingwu took care of it too thoughtfully, which made Chu Xiangwan feel that it was a little unreal for a person's emotions to calm down so quickly. However, she retorted to herself, it may be that she was thinking too much during pregnancy, Fu Qingwu has always been gentle and obedient, and doing all this is just a sincere fist for her sister. Since then, the relationship between the two has been getting better and better, but this is just Chu Xiangwan's idea.

Fu Qingwu went to Guanju Palace every day, the hatred in her heart and the concern on her face almost split her into two people, sometimes she felt that she really hated Chu Xiangwan, but as long as she could see the emperor in Guanju Palace, no matter how painful and tormented her heart was, she was still happy.

Today is already April 23, Chu Xiangwan stared at the bracelet in his hand in a daze, Huangfu Jingyao has been gone for almost two months, why is there no news at the border gate? Or did Huangfu Jingwen deliberately block the news and not let her know? The trip to Yuanji Temple on the outskirts of Beijing, Chu Xiangwan saw that Helian City was a ruthless person, Huangfu Jingyao and he confronted, it is estimated that it is evenly matched, and the Xiongnu departments were unified by Tata, Huangfu Jingyao If there are more people in the border pass, this battle is probably not so easy to fight.

Yesterday, the doctor came to check the pulse, and he already said that in about half a month, the child will fall to the ground. At that time, Huangfu Jingwen was also there, and he told Chu Xiangwan to be careful in the past half a month, and told Qian'er and Zizhang to take good care of her, as if they were asking them to take care of a prisoner. Chu Xiangwan felt funny, Huangfu Jingwen's nervous appearance was something she had never seen before, but seeing Fu Qingwu on the side lowering her eyes, Chu Xiangwan felt that such a scene was too cruel, and when she was immersed in joy, it was when Fu Qingwu was lost and gloomy.

In fact, Huangfu Jingyao rarely thinks of Chu Xiangwan at the border, not because he doesn't want to, but because he forces himself not to let himself think. Chu Xiangwan's days in the palace have never been better. It is undeniable that Huangfu Jingwen does have a deep affection for Chu Xiangwan, but he can't protect Chu Xiangwan well, so that Chu Xiangwan has always been in danger around him. He can only deal with the border war as soon as possible before he can return to the capital and get back everything he deserves.

The battle at the border pass was as expected by Huangfu Jingyao, the comeback of Helian City was unstoppable, and the army of the Tata Department was notoriously fierce and brave among the Huns, plus several cities in the border pass were slaughtered before, Hua Yu and led the troops to resist but were defeated and retreated, and the morale plummeted. As soon as Huangfu Jingyao returned to the border pass, he saw a group of remnants of the defeated generals, many soldiers in the barracks were injured, and the border pass defense was like a wide open middle gate. Therefore, the first thing Huangfu Jingyao did when he returned to the border was to reorganize the army and military discipline.

On 16 February, Huangfu Jingyao returned to the border pass, and in early March, the border army was finally back on track under his rectification, but because of the heavy casualties in the previous battle, even if the reorganization was completed, the available troops were reduced by nearly one-third. With only 140,000 of the 200,000 troops left, it was impossible for Huangfu Jingyao to take the army of Helian City in one fell swoop in a short period of time.

Although there were a few small confrontations at the beginning of the month, it was just a mutual test between the two sides, since the boss has returned to his own position, it is natural to explore the reality of the other party, so Huangfu Jingyao and Helian Cheng did not go to the battlefield, the two sides just sent their capable men to compete, the result is that both sides have their own victories and defeats, so far both sides have not acted rashly. Such a result made Hua Yuhe, who had suffered defeat before, sneered: "I thought that King Rui would be able to make the other party collapse as soon as he came, but who knows that it is just a stalemate." ”

"Yes, the last general came out this time and wanted to learn how to strategize with King Rui, but I didn't think that now I even hung up the war-free card." Shao Zhou, who came to the border this time, said. Although this Shao Zhou is named General Hu Ben, in fact, he is just a Beijing official who talks on paper, he was able to enter the court as an official because of his family relationship, but he has not been on the battlefield for a day.

In fact, on the second night when Huangfu Jingyao arrived at the border pass, Helian City quietly visited Huangfu Jingyao. He was dressed in night clothes, and after a while, he left the camp unconsciously and went to the military camp of the Great Zhou. He avoided the soldiers patrolling around, and when he approached the tent of Huangfu Jingyao, a flying knife, along with a note, was easily taken in the hand of Huangfu Jingyao in the tent. Huangfu Jingyao immediately chased out, and the skills of the two were not weak, so you chased after me, and ran for ten miles before stopping. The two of them stood by the Crescent Lake on the border of the Xiongnu in the Great Zhou Dynasty and looked at each other quietly for a long time.

"Since it's an old acquaintance, there's no need to hide it." Huangfu Jingyao took the lead in breaking the tranquility.

Helian Cheng tore off the black mask on his face and said leisurely: "Why didn't King Rui even look at my letters, so he chased it out, not afraid of fraud?" ”

"Need to see it? If you can get close to the king's tent and not let the soldiers find out, it is estimated that you are the only one in Helian City. Huangfu Jingyao opened the note in his hand, and instead of looking at it, he was facing Helian City. He continued: "This is just a trick you want to lure this king out, it doesn't matter if there is content or not, what content it is. And even if there is something to say, isn't it the same if the king catches the one who wants to speak? ”

"King Rui is really bold, is it because there is no great beauty in my hands tonight, so the prince is so confident?" Helian Cheng spoke unscrupulously, making Huangfu Jingyao's face look ugly for a moment.

"Helian City, the account of the day, this king will get it back from you one by one."

"Is it for the beauty? Haha, don't you Han people pay the most attention to the three outlines and five constants? Why is King Rui so bold? Helian Cheng was still provocative, but Huangfu Jingyao's face gradually calmed down.

"She's not something you can blaspheme." Huangfu Jingyao got straight to the point, "Say, what do you mean by looking for this king tonight?" ”
