Xiang Hongxuan stepped into the house with an arrow step, he pulled Ling Xi into his arms, and when Aunt Yan saw this, she immediately withdrew from the house with the palace people.

After a long time, Xiang Hongxuan said faintly: "Empress, I'm too late. ”

Ling Xi's heart swelled with warmth, she remembered that when the palace changed that year, Xiang Hongxuan also hugged her tightly in his arms, he came to save her, this moment is worth a thousand words, Ling Xi can clearly hear Xiang Hongxuan's heartbeat, just like the Jiaofang Hall in the chaos of the war back then, the hot heartbeat makes people's hearts move.

"Your Majesty, you're not late."

The tip of Xiang Hongxuan's nose twitched a little, he looked at Ling Xi's body carefully, and asked with concern, "Tell me, how can you be hurt?" ”

Ling Xiwan smiled and said lightly: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the concubine is not injured, these bandits seem to know our identity, and they dare not do anything to the concubine, and then the concubine met the Green Buddha Woman, after she rescued the concubine, Lord Zhou came, and the concubine was in danger." ”

Xiang Hongxuan pulled Ling Xi into his arms again, his nose was against Ling Xi's hair, he took a deep breath, Ling Xi's green silk seemed to have the smell of dust left over from the chaos just now, Xiang Hongxuan hugged Ling Xi a little more distressedly, as if Ling Xi in front of him was still so unreal, as if it was like the Shangyuan Festival many years ago, Ling Xi was close in front of him, but far away in the sky.

"Queen, don't worry, I must destroy this group of bandits and be angry for the queen."

"Your Majesty, let the Green Buddha Woman go with her, the Green Buddha Woman is the daughter of Ding Shang, the general of the military camp in the north of Dongyu Kingdom, after her father died, she is here all the year round, she is brave and brave, she knows a lot about bandits, with her, she will be able to quickly destroy this group of bandits who harbor evil intentions."

"General of the Northern Barracks? It is worthy of being behind the gate of my Dongyu country, and the green Buddha girl is a tiger father and no dog girl. ”

As he spoke, Xiang Hongxuan strode to the desk, he picked up his pen and wrote down a few lines of big characters, and shouted loudly: "Someone." Go and pass on Xue Tao, Xue Baihu and the Green Buddha girl. ”

Xue Tao and Xue Pingchuan came to the house quickly, they saw Ding Green Buddha at a glance, Xue Tao frowned, and after Xiang Hongxuan saw Xue Tao's uncle and nephew, he said happily: "Queen, this time thanks to the Xue family's timely rescue, otherwise I am afraid that I will fall into the hands of bandits like the queen." ”

Ling Xi looked at Xue Tao's uncle and nephew, she glanced at Ding Lu Buddha again, and said, "The Xue family is worthy of being a general, and they are extremely brave. ”

As soon as Xue Tao heard the emperor praise him like this, he hurriedly said many words of gratitude.

Ling Xi walked to Ding Green Buddha's side and said, "Xue Baihu, the Green Buddha Woman knows a lot about the bandits in this area, she once saved many innocent people from the bandits, let the Green Buddha girl be with you this time." ”

Xue Pingchuan's eyes rolled, he looked at Xue Tao, and Xue Tao immediately said: "It's naturally great for Pingchuan to have the help of the Green Buddha girl, but I heard that the bandits in this area are quite vicious, and there are many of them, and it is said that there are thousands of people. I wonder if the Green Buddha girl knows where the bandits' lair is? Or is there any other help that the Green Buddha girl can help me?

We annihilated this group of bandits in one fell swoop. ”

Ding Lufo heard Xue Tao say this, she was a little surprised, she glanced at Ling Xi, remembered Ling Xi's instructions to herself, she said slowly: "After my father died, but a few years, the family has decayed, I followed the family back to her hometown, but I didn't expect to meet these mountain bandits on the way, I fought hard to kill the enemy, but still did not save the mother, and then I was here to find the whereabouts of the bandits, but I am not familiar with life, I have been looking for many months, and I can only meet them by chance, and there are many of them, I can only see one and kill the other, and I am useless, and I have not been able to avenge my grandmother so far. ”

Ding Lufo said sincerely, tears already flashed in the corners of her eyes, her words were taught by Ling Xi to her, there were true and false, but her hatred and self-blame for the bandits were true.

Xue Tao narrowed his eyes slightly, his small black eyes didn't know how many big circles rolled in his eye sockets, he didn't seem to believe Ding Lufo's words very much, he glanced at Xue Pingchuan, Xue Pingchuan immediately understood, and said: "Then the green Buddha girl, where did you save the queen mother, maybe that place is the bandits' lair, or an important place for bandits, maybe we can find these bandits along this line and annihilate them in one fell swoop." ”

"It's outside the village in the mountains, I happened to spend the night in the village, and I was about to come out to look for these bandits, when I saw some fierce people with the queen mother about to go to the village, I felt strange, so I stepped forward to ask a few words, but these bandits were afraid that I was in the way, so they wanted to kill me, and I saved my mother." Ding Lufo said calmly.

Although Ding Lufo's statement was flawless, Xue Tao just felt that something was strange, especially when these bandits disappeared without a trace, which always made Xue Tao a little uneasy, he frowned, and his face was full of worries.

"It doesn't matter, whether you know where this group of bandits is, I don't believe it, my Dongyu's army can't step on the bandits on this mountain." Xiang Hongxuan said categorically.

Xue Tao's uncle and nephew looked at each other, immediately knelt on the ground, and said, "The minister must not dishonor His Majesty's high hopes and wipe out the mountain bandits in this area." ”

"Okay, I'm optimistic about your Xue family."

Xiang Hongxuan laughed with satisfaction. Ling Xi's brows furrowed slightly, she remembered Jiang Wanfeng in the Pingcheng military camp, and she sighed faintly. At this time, Zhou Xun happened to walk into the house, and he also heard Xiang Hongxuan's words, and was slightly surprised, but soon he walked quickly in front of Xiang Hongxuan.

Xiang Hongxuan handed the holy decree he had just written into Zhou Xun's hand, and said: "Yan'en, you still have to go to the state capital, take my holy decree and transfer the guards of the state capital over, and then let Xue Baihu take the guards of the state capital to destroy the mountain bandits in this area." ”

Zhou Xun took the holy decree, he glanced at the uncle and nephew of the Xue family, who had already been overjoyed, and he didn't know if the joy of Xue Tao's uncle and nephew came from this holy decree or because of Xiang Hongxuan's words. He couldn't help but think about it, maybe the rise of the Xue family was not necessarily a bad thing, but it was not necessarily a good thing.

....................................................................

Xiao Xiangxiang looked at Xiang Hongxuan and Ling Xi's room from afar, she was full of sadness, since Ling Xi was rescued, Xiang Hongxuan had never announced that she had slept in bed, Xiang Hongxuan stayed by Ling Xi's side all day, and seemed to have left her behind.

Xiao Xiangxiang sighed softly, turned around and returned to the house, and said, "Auntie, do you say that there is still me in His Majesty's eyes?" Shall I send someone to invite His Majesty over? ”

Lian Yingrong came to Xiao Xiangxiang's side, she raised her arm, gently smoothed the deep frown between Xiao Xiangxiang's forehead, and said: "You should know that going to invite Your Majesty at this time will only make Your Majesty feel that you are jealous and don't know the general situation." You will become more and more worthless in the heart of Your Majesty. ”

"But just wait, waiting for Your Majesty and the Queen to fall in love like the sea, and then slowly forget me?" Xiao Xiangxiang said excitedly, and inadvertently, tears also appeared on her beautiful face.

Lian Yingrong pulled her into her arms distressedly, and comforted her softly: "Of course you can't do this, Xiangxiang, you have to calm down, you remember that you don't want to be a favorite concubine, you have to go further, believe my aunt, this matter has to be considered in the long run." ”

"Think long-term?" Xiao Xiangxiang looked at Lian Yingrong, Lian Yingrong looked calm, she knew that Lian Yingrong must have a way.

"Auntie, what are you going to do?" Xiao Xiangxiang asked.

Lian Yingrong turned around and slowly came to the window, she looked at the incomparably delicate flowers outside the window, she stretched out her hand to the window, gently broke the branches, and a beautiful flower was already in her hand.

"Last night, I met with Lord Zhou, and Lord Zhou told me some very interesting things, about the Xue family."

Saying that, Lian Yingrong turned around, and came to Xiao Xiangxiang's side again, she gently inserted the flowers in her hand on Xiao Xiangxiang's bun, and sure enough, the flowers in the south were more suitable for Xiao Xiangxiang's glamorous appearance.

The slave maid remembered that she had heard some old things about the harem in the Dongyu Palace, and maybe we needed to do something about it. It's just that you may have to take some risks then. ”

"I'm not afraid of taking risks, can I win back Your Majesty's heart?" Xiao Xiangxiang asked eagerly.

"Of course, not only to redeem, but even to make you more important in His Majesty's heart, more than the Empress."

"What should I do?"

Lian Yingrong lowered her head and smiled, she leaned close to Xiao Xiangxiang's ear and whispered.

.....................................................................................................................

Ding Lu Buddha stood on the city wall, staring into the distance, her eyes seemed to be shining with tears, Ling Xi slowly came to her side and asked, "Have you taken revenge?" ”

Ding Lu Buddha raised the sword in her hand, and there were still remnants in her hand

With dried bloodstains, he said: "I killed Zhang Mazi with my own hands and cut off his head, and my father-in-law avenged his great revenge." ”

"Green Buddha girl, although the bandits have been exterminated, he can't give your father-in-law a proper name, so that no one knows about his efforts, will he feel regretful?"

Ding Lufo smiled, shook his head, and said, "My father-in-law doesn't care about these false names, as long as he can destroy these harmful bandits, his father-in-law will be able to laugh at Jiuquan." ”

After speaking, she immediately knelt down in front of Ling Xi, and said: "Queen Mother, you saved all of us, and also helped us avenge the great revenge, I can't repay it, if he can use my place in the future, I Ding Lu Buddha is duty-bound, don't let it go." ”

"Green Buddha girl, you can't go back." Ling Xi said faintly.

Ding Lufo was stunned, she immediately got up and asked in surprise, "Why?" The bandits in this area have been wiped out, and I can't go back. ”

"There are no bandits, and there are employers, this palace can help you escape the fate of the rebellious ministers and thieves, but it can't help you escape the pursuit of the employer, if you go back, then what you said before is a lie, the employer will not leave you alive, and then you will not only die, but also the innocent villagers in the mountain, they will all die."

Ding Green Buddha bowed his head and was silent, her shriveled lips were bitten by her and stained with blood, a warm wind blew, and the red silk spikes on the hilt of Ding Green Buddha's sword swayed from side to side.

"Queen Mother, will I never be able to return to the village in this life, and I will not be able to see my uncle and them?"

Ling Xi was wrapped in a warm breeze, and the weather in the south was indeed much warmer than Dongyu, and she said softly: "Everything has a price, and there is no perfect thing in the world." ”

Ding Lufo looked blankly into the distance, thought for a while, smiled bitterly, and said: "Okay, I will hold the sword and become a real heroine again, as long as my uncles and villagers are safe, I will be satisfied." ”

"No, you can't leave now, you still have to walk with Hongu for a while, if you leave too early, it's like running away, maybe your employer is by our side, and you have to do a full set of plays." Ling Xi said meaningfully.
