At the end of the month, ask for a monthly pass

***

Qi Younian specially chose the day when Ji Xiaotang returned to Ning, and came to Xinhuatang to bid farewell to Ji Xiaotang.

The autumn breeze is getting cooler, and Mrs. Ji is getting older, she has a cold, and her body is a little bad. When Ji Xiaotang learned the news, he said that he wanted to go back to Xinhuatang to visit, Qin Zhen was very busy, but he still offered to accompany Ji Xiaotang back to his parents' house, but Ji Xiaotang refused.

Qi Younian is about to go on an expedition, and many things need to be prepared, with Qin Zhen on the side to help keep an eye on it, things will go more smoothly.

The better and more adequate the preparations, the more chances Qi Younian will have to win the battle, and the more soldiers will be able to come back alive, including Qi Younian.

Ji Xiaotang knew that although Qi Younian was full of confidence in front of her, he was determined to donate his life on this expedition.

That kind of death, although heroic and glorious for Qi Younian, is definitely not what Ji Xiaotang wants to see. In fact, Ji Xiaotang would never allow that to happen, she wanted Qi Younian to leave well and come back well.

Ji Xiaotang accompanied Mrs. Ji to talk in Xuanhua Hall. Mrs. Ji has taken the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor, and her condition has been relieved a lot, and she has the energy to sit on the kang and chat with Ji Xiaotang.

"It's just that I'm a little older, it's not a big deal, why bother you to come to see me again, and let the prince prepare so many things, where did I use it." I know that something big has happened lately, and you're all busy. ”

"Grandmother's business, it's all big things. No matter how busy I am, my grandmother is always in the head. Ji Xiaotang said with a smile.

Although Mrs. Ji said that Ji Xiaotang shouldn't have come to see her, someone came. She's actually happier than anyone else.

While talking here, a little girl outside came to report, saying that Qi You was coming.

Qi You came at this time. It can only be a resignation.

Master Ji San immediately stood up.

"I'm still saying this, let's see when Ayou will come, he won't be about to go on the expedition, and he doesn't want to come and meet us!" There was some complaint in Master Ji San's tone, but more eagerness.

Before, Master Ji San once went to the Mighty Marquis Mansion to meet Qi Younian. As a result, I didn't see anyone.

Qi Younian is too busy.

Because he knew that Qi Younian was busy with military affairs, Master Ji San didn't really complain about Qi Younian. The friendship between two people will not be suspicious of this kind of thing at all.

Because Qi You is here. Second Master Ji and Third Master Ji both went to the front.

Mrs. Ji didn't take this matter to heart, and continued to chat with Ji Xiaotang about family life, and then found that Ji Xiaotang suddenly fell silent. And a little distracted.

Mrs. Ji is old. But not completely confused. She looked at Ji Xiaotang, and then looked at Mrs. Ji next to her.

Mrs. Ji Er was looking at Ji Xiaotang, and the expression on her face was five points of compassion and five points of worry.

Mrs. Ji couldn't help but sigh.

There are some things that they think are in the past, but in fact they are not, at least, those things have left indelible traces in the hearts of the people concerned.

"These days, there have been legends in the capital. Even I'm at home, and I've heard some. But it's bitter for the mighty prince. Mrs. Ji said with emotion.

"Ayugi is a celestial appearance. Although this expedition looks dangerous, it will definitely turn evil into good fortune in the end, and the disaster will become auspicious. Mrs. Ji Er said immediately.

Ji Xiaoyun also nodded in agreement.

These words were not to bless Qi Younian, but to Ji Xiaotang.

Qi Younian went on an expedition, and everyone in the family wanted to appease Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang couldn't help but smile.

"Yes, I don't know what would happen to someone else, but Ayou, he will definitely return triumphantly."

was talking in the room, and Master Ji San didn't need to be heard, so he opened the curtain and came in.

"Xiaotang, let's go meet Ayou." Master Ji San walked quickly to Ji Xiaotang, looked down at Ji Xiaotang and said.

Master Ji San went out and didn't ask Ji Xiaotang to go along, but after a while, he came back like this......

"Ayo wants to see me?" Ji Xiaotang immediately asked.

Seeing that Ji Xiaotang had guessed it, Master Ji San was not hiding it, so he nodded to Ji Xiaotang.

Qi Younian talked to them for a while, and then offered to see Ji Xiaotang. In fact, he chose this opportunity to come to Xinhuatang to meet with Ji Xiaotang and resign.

"Even if Ayou doesn't say that he wants to see me, I'll say a few words to my grandmother and mother here, and I'm going to see him." Ji Xiaotang stood up, explained a few words to Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Ji, and followed Mr. Ji to the front.

Qi Younian had been invited to the study of Jinghuatang by the second master Ji, and as soon as Ji Xiaotang entered the door, Qi Younian stood up and greeted him.

"Xiaotang ......" Qi Younian's eyes and tone were as eager, obviously, he had been looking forward to Ji Xiaotang's appearance. The two actually met a few days ago and had a deep talk, but for Qi Younian, it seemed that he hadn't seen Ji Xiaotang for a long time.

Not seen for a day, such as every other three autumns.

Every time I met Ji Xiaotang, I could only temporarily relieve the lovesickness, and after separation, the lovesickness became heavier.

"Ayou......" Ji Xiaotang's tone was low, and she couldn't ignore the deep affection in Qi Younian's eyes.

"Don't stand stupidly, sit down and talk, sit down and talk." Master Ji San followed and said with a smile.

Qi Younian and Ji Xiaotang did not sit down.

“…… This time, I don't know when I will be able to come back......" Qi Younian looked at Ji Xiaotang, it seemed that all the people next to him did not exist, and between heaven and earth, only one Ji Xiaotang and himself were left.

Ji Xiaotang's heart moved slightly.

"The autumn scenery of Xinhuatang also has something to see, if Ayou doesn't dislike it, I'll take Ayou around." Ji Xiaotang said softly.

After Ji Xiaotang entered Beijing, he lived in Xinhuatang for almost half a year, and Qi Younian also came here to see Ji Xiaotang, but he didn't have enough opportunities to visit well, and I don't know if there will be such an opportunity in the future.

Ji Xiaotang understands Qi Younian's thoughts, here is in addition to Qingyuan. Where she has lived, and Qi Younian still wants to talk to her alone.

Really. Ji Xiaotang's voice landed, and Qi Younian immediately agreed.

Second Master Ji and Third Master Ji exchanged a look, and they didn't object, the two of them just followed Ji Xiaotang and Qi Younian out of Jinghua Hall, and slowly went all the way to Xinyuan.

In the garden, there is already a strong autumn mood, and the grass and trees are sparse. The falling leaves are flying, which sets off the melancholy of leaving people.

"Xiaotang, I'm leaving. I don't know when I'll be able to come back. Xiaotang, you ...... Take care. Qi Younian walked in silence for a while before speaking.

He originally had too many things to say to Ji Xiaotang, but he walked beside Ji Xiaotang. He suddenly forgot all those words again. Seem. As long as Ji Xiaotang is by his side, everything will be complete.

Between them, there is not even a need for language.

Ji Xiaotang nodded, of course she would take care of herself.

"Ayo, it's you who should take care of the most. However, I have great confidence in you, and I am sure that I will receive your good news soon. "Qi Younian is the brightest rising star in Great Qin.

Heroes make the times. The times make heroes.

Such a critical autumn of survival is certainly a severe test for Qi Younian. At the same time, it will also achieve Qi Younian.

"Yes." Qi Younian nodded solemnly.

He had already formulated a mature strategy, and when he arrived at Zhenshan Pass, he would gather all the superior forces and grain and grass to strike an all-out blow at the Northern Barbarians. Only when the Northern Barbarians are beaten will the Northern Barbarians take the initiative to propose peace talks and make concessions on the terms of peace talks.

"Fight a winning battle and let the barbarians take the initiative to propose peace talks."

At that time, as long as Qi Younian returns the war report, someone will naturally worry about the next thing~

Qi Younian has now fully accepted and wholeheartedly agreed with the strategy of peace talks, which is partly due to his own excellent strategic vision, and on the other hand, thanks to Ji Xiaotang's explanation and persuasion.

And no matter what the war is, one thing is certain, Qi Younian is destined to not be able to return to the capital for a long time.

“…… My mother naturally has a sister-in-law to take care of, and nephews and nieces to take care of her, and when my father comes back and the family is reunited, I have nothing to worry about. ”

The only person Qi Younian misses in the capital is Ji Xiaotang.

"It's just that I haven't seen Xiaotang for a long time." Qi Younian turned around and faced Ji Xiaotang.

"Ayo, we will meet again one day." Ji Xiaotang could only say.

"Maybe ......," Qi Younian replied hesitantly.

Ji Xiaotang was slightly surprised, Qi Younian's words may have made her feel uneasy, not to control herself, she was almost about to grab Qi Younian's sleeve.

"Ayo, what do you mean by that?" Ji Xiaotang frowned slightly, and there was a rare eagerness in his tone, "You will definitely return safely, right, Ayou, you promise me, you will definitely return safely!" ”

As long as Qi Younian is safe, she doesn't even care if he returns triumphantly.

"Xiaotang ......" Qi Younian knows Ji Xiaotang's personality. He knew that Ji Xiaotang could reveal such emotions, which showed that she still had him in her heart.

Does he want to tell Ji Xiaotang that he plans to guard the north from now on and never return to the capital?

Every time I see Ji Xiaotang, the lovesickness is even deeper. Acacia is deep in the bones, and there is no cure. And Ji Xiaotang is already married to a wife, and the two are destined to not be together. Then his bony lovesickness is like poison, there is no antidote at all.

In this way, it is better to never see each other again.

In that way, he will not cause trouble to Ji Xiaotang, and he himself will not be more tormented because of seeing each other again and again.

Qi Younian didn't speak, but Ji Xiaotang saw his thoughts from his gaze.

"Ayou, you promise me, you will definitely return safely." Ji Xiaotang insisted and said.

"Xiaotang ......" Qi Younian's smile was even more bitter, he looked straight at Ji Xiaotang, as if he wanted to see Ji Xiaotang's heart.

Ji Xiaotang also let him watch.

Her thoughts may be selfish, and for Qi Younian, they may still be cruel, but she must persevere.

She had a reason to hold on.

The two of them stood opposite each other for a long time, and in the end, it was Qi Younian who made concessions.

"Okay." Qi Younian's tone was light, but the words he said were still loud, "Xiaotang, I promise you that I will come back safely." ”

"It's a deal." Ji Xiaotang stretched out his hand, as if he was afraid that Qi Younian would break the contract. So to add a layer of insurance, although she always knew in her heart that Qi Younian would definitely keep his promise to her.

"It's a deal." Qi Younian's smile was almost doting. He also held out his hand.

High-fives are an oath.

"Ayo, we all have things we have to do." Ji Xiaotang told Qi Younian again.

"I understand." Qi Younian looked at Ji Xiaotang, "Xiaotang, I just want to know, in the end, what will be the result?" ”

"Different paths lead to the same end." Ji Xiaotang only said four words.

"Good!" Qi Younian nodded heavily.

With Ji Xiaotang's four words, it seems that everything he does has become more meaningful.

"One more thing. Ayo, I want to discuss with you in advance. Ji Xiaotang paused before he said again.

"What's the matter?" Qi Younian asked.

"On the ...... of peace talks"

Ji Xiaotang lowered his voice. I told Qi Younian like this.

The look on Qi Younian's face became a little complicated.

And this reaction of his, Ji Xiaotang had already expected it.

"Ayo, I know what you're thinking, and that's why I told you about it in advance. Ayo. I don't want to make superfluous explanations. This is political ....... Ayo, do you understand? ”

"Xiaotang, since that's what you mean, then, okay." Qi Younian thought about it, and finally nodded.

"Ayou, if I can, I don't want to do this......" Especially if I don't want Qi Younian to know. I don't want Qi Younian to be involved.

While the two were talking, they saw a little girl hurrying in from outside the garden. The little girl came to Master Ji. As if he had said something, Second Master Ji looked at Ji Xiaotang and Qi Younian.

He and Master Ji San have been following Ji Xiaotang and Qi Younian, but they have distanced themselves and deliberately not listened to the conversation between the two.

Ji Xiaotang immediately noticed it, and also glanced at Second Master Ji.

Second Master Ji hurriedly walked over.

"Xiaotang, Ayou, the prince is here." Second Master Ji told Ji Xiaotang that Qin Zhen was here.

Qin Zhen came, naturally he wouldn't wait at the door, he knew that Ji Xiaotang and the others were in Xinyuan, so he came straight over.

Qin Zhen saw Qi Younian, but he was not surprised at all.

"Ayou is busy, I don't think I will go to the palace to say goodbye to me. It's good to see you here. Qin Zhen's appearance seems to have come to see Qi Younian on purpose.

Ji Xiaotang glanced at Qin Zhen and immediately knew that Qin Zhen had indeed come to see Qi Younian.

With such a face-to-face, even Qi Younian couldn't completely ignore Qin Zhen. He called out to the prince, and then bowed to Qin Zhen perfunctorily.

"Although Ayou and I see each other a lot, we haven't spoken properly for a long time. …… Ayou is about to go on the expedition, I borrowed flowers from Xinhuatang to offer Buddha, prepared a glass of thin wine, and practiced with Ayou. Qin Zhen didn't care about Qi Younian's cold attitude, but continued to smile and say.

Qin Zhen's attitude towards Qi Younian was very sincere, and everyone present felt it, but Qi Younian was indifferent.

"Don't bother the prince." Qi Younian rejected Qin Zhen dryly, "Please forgive me for being in the military, it is inconvenient to stay for a long time, so I will say goodbye to the prince." ”

As soon as Qin Zhen came, Qi Younian said goodbye and left, Qin Zhen could only smile bitterly.

Qi Younian really said goodbye to Master Ji Er and Master Ji San, and said that he was going to leave immediately.

Of course, the second and third masters of Ji tried their best to keep them.

"Ayou, my mother and grandmother want to meet you. It won't take much time. Ji Xiaotang said with a smile.

Qi Younian couldn't refuse, so he could only follow everyone to Xuanhuatang and met Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Ji.

Qi Younian respectfully saluted the two of them.

Mrs. Ji's eyes turned red.

After that, Qi Younian was about to say goodbye again, but Mrs. Ji insisted on keeping him for dinner.

"Even if it's just a glass of thin wine. It's not a good wine, it was brought from Qingyuan, and Xiaotang and I made it ourselves when we were idle, and now we can finally drink it. Mrs. Ji Er said lovingly.

Qi Younian glanced at Ji Xiaotang, and then at Qin Zhen, who was standing side by side with Ji Xiaotang and smiling, and finally nodded and stayed.

Mrs. Ji Er personally went to the kitchen to watch the people prepare, and prepared a table of banquets in Jinghuatang.

At the banquet, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, if it weren't for the fact that Qi Younian and Qin Zhen didn't speak to each other, this scene even gave Ji Xiaotang an illusion, everything went back to the past, when everyone was still in Qingyuan.

Ji Xiaotang found that she missed Qingyuan so much.

When Qi Younian got up again to say goodbye, everyone knew that he couldn't stay.

"Xiaotang, just now, I felt like I had gone back to the past." Qi Younian told Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang's heart moved slightly, it turned out that Qi Younian had the same feeling as her.

"Take care!" Qi Younian bowed his hand and said goodbye to everyone.

"Take care." Everyone said in unison.

"Ayo, I'll send you on the expedition." Ji Xiaotang said again.

"Good!"

Seeing Qi Younian's back disappear, Ji Xiaotang withdrew his gaze.

Qin Zhen was beside Ji Xiaotang and gently grabbed her hand~

Ji Xiaotang didn't break free, so he and Qin Zhen returned to Jinghuatang with Master Ji Er and Master Ji San.

"You know Ayo is here?" Ji Xiaotang asked Qin Zhen.

Qin Zhen nodded.

Just like Qi Younian knew that Ji Xiaotang was in Xinhuatang, he was not with Ji Xiaotang, when Qi Younian stepped into the door of Xinhuatang years ago, he knew the news on his back foot.

"I knew that Ayou would not come to see me before he left, so I came to see him. It would be a pity for me not to be able to resign for him. Qin Zhen said this, and smiled bitterly again, "However, things were almost messed up by me." ”

Qi Younian was about to leave when he saw him coming, but thanks to Ji Xiaotang who proposed that Mrs. Ji Er come, he left Qi Younian behind.

"But you still saw Ayou, ate with him, and drank wine." Ji Xiaotang smiled.

"Yes." Qin Zhen also smiled.

The next day, Qi Younian paid homage to Shuaiyin at Zhengyang Gate, bid farewell to Emperor Longqing and Empress Dowager Han, led the army out of the east gate of the capital, and went straight to Zhenshan Pass. On the same day, the people of the capital almost poured out of the city, and thousands of people were empty, and they saw off Qi Younian on the expedition.

Among the crowd of farewells, there were also many carriages and horses.

Ji Xiaotang sat in one of the carriages and watched Qi Younian's figure drift away.
