Li Ye didn't return all day, Qi Ning had slept a few times and didn't wait for him to come back, and he couldn't help but worry about whether something unusual happened this time.

In the evening, Li Ye came back, but his expression was a little serious, it seemed that something happened this time.

Originally, Li Ye wanted to let Qi Ning relax and stop worrying about other things, but her insight was very strong, and she could see through Li Ye's expression at a glance.

"Husband, the emperor is in such a hurry to ask you to enter the palace, what is the situation on the Huns' side?"

Li Ye said a little helplessly: "My Ning'er, you are really smart, I can't hide anything from you, just as we worried about before, their team was attacked after leaving the territory of the Great Zhou, the team has been dispersed, and the eldest prince has changed the route with the princess, and it is currently impossible to contact." ”

This can be regarded as a very serious matter, which made Qi Ning nervous again: "It's really terrible, fortunately, he didn't take Yurong away at the beginning, otherwise the situation would be even worse." ”

"The emperor has already arranged a group of people to come to support, if you can't find them, you need me to personally lead the troops there, and then let me escort them back to the Xiongnu."

"The road to the Huns is so long, and you have to travel for two months to speed up the journey back and forth, the emperor is deliberately making things difficult, and when the road is bumpy along the way, I don't know what will happen."

Qi Ning naturally disapproves of letting Li Ye go to the rescue, and he has to send it to the Xiongnu in person, if something happens on the way, who will take care of it, and then Chen Guifei and the six princes are deliberately trying to hurt them, aren't they looking for a good opportunity for them?

Li Ye echoed: "This is also what worries me, and if I leave for so long, I don't know how they will take the opportunity to deal with you, so I must not go." ”

"It's just that this thing has happened, if the emperor forcibly asks you to bring troops to the rescue, you can't resist the order, so you still have to think of countermeasures in advance."

After going through these things, Qi Ning understood that if he wanted to ensure safety, he must be more careful and take precautions, and he definitely couldn't give them a chance.

Now that the other party has entered a very grim state, they are aware of the hostility of the other party, so whenever they can deal with the other side, they must not let go.

"I know that now that my mother-in-law is seriously injured, you will not leave the capital, so I will think of a countermeasure and stay to take care of your mother and daughter."

With Li Ye's words, Qi Ning can be regarded as relieved, and hopes that this time it will go to see if it can go smoothly, and not really ask Li Ye to go in the end.

The next morning, the emperor arranged to send back bad news, the team hurried a few days to find a part of the welcoming team, only the second prince of the Huns Helian Cheng and some people have been found, the rest of the people are still missing, the emperor is concerned about the princess, and is naturally angry at the people behind the sneak attack.

At present, it has been confirmed that it was retaliated by the people of the Jurchen tribe, and there were many contradictions within the Xiongnu and between the surrounding tribes, and I don't know that they were deliberately used as an excuse this time.

I still want to use this incident to get Da Zhou to get rid of the Jurchens, in short, this time Da Zhou is out of a passive and disadvantaged state.

The emperor didn't want to send troops at this time, and the matter was unknown, so he wanted to arrange for someone of insight to investigate in person, and also to find the princess back, and send it to the Xiongnu safely.

There was a lot of discussion in the court, and finally the emperor set his eyes on Li Ye, "Li Aiqing has always been unfazed, and he is a general, this time I named you a general, personally led the troops to find the princess, and then handed over the burden of escorting the princess to you, this is also for the peace between the two countries, you care about the people, you should understand what I mean." ”

Li Ye actually thought that if the matter was serious, the emperor would have to come forward by himself, and this was indeed a great opportunity to make meritorious contributions, but if he left, there would be no one in the capital to take care of Qi Ning's mother and daughter.

Li Ye replied respectfully: "Weichen is ashamed of the emperor's grace, this burden was originally obligatory, but Weichen was also seriously injured, it is not suitable to run around, and he cannot complete the mission arranged by the emperor." ”

The emperor's face changed, and he couldn't help but doubt his words, and the ministers in the court were also full of surprise, not knowing what happened to the prince in this world.

The matter of the mother and daughter of the princess in this world is also boiling in the capital, and they all sigh that the mother and daughter are pitiful, and even if the Wang family of the Fang family has entered the ground, it is also a scolding in the mouth of the world, which is different from Qi Ning's mother and daughter.

So when Li Ye also mentioned that he was seriously injured, everyone cared.

"I don't know what happened to you, Aiqing?"

Li Ye unbuttoned his coat, revealing two shocking scars on his chest and back, which looked shocking, and the emperor couldn't help but be deeply surprised.

"This ...... When was Aiqing injured? Why didn't you tell me? "The emperor is also worried that this Li Ye is now a manufacturable material, at least he can solve a lot of trouble for himself.

It's like the reason why the emperor wants to arrange for him to go this time, is to know that he will definitely do his best to do this, because there are people in this capital that he cares about.

However, now that he is seriously injured, it is natural that he cannot be allowed to complete it.

Li Ye sighed: "Back to the emperor, Weichen traveled at night a few days ago, but he encountered a sneak attack by villains on the road, and Weichen was injured like this because he couldn't resist the other party, because he didn't want to make a big deal about it, he was just investigating in secret, if it wasn't for the emperor to arrange a long trip for Weichen this time, he wouldn't have told him." ”

Li Ye's words were very decent, and he did not publicize his injury, which made the emperor still very pleased, if he had said this before, it would inevitably cause an uproar, so he was satisfied with him.

"In this case, you can recuperate in the capital with peace of mind, and now that the princess is also injured, you husband and wife should also have a care, and I will arrange other generals to do it for you on this trip."

Li Ye saluted gratefully: "Thank you for the emperor's compassion, and Weichen is grateful!" ”

The emperor can only arrange other people to go to support, and Li Ye can't be like this and forcibly let him travel, but there are not many people in the court who can be taken seriously.

Li Ye returned to Jingnan Mansion safely, Qi Ning was already waiting at the door, and he also heard about the family sending team, so he was worried that the emperor would arrange Li Ye over.

Li Ye hugged him directly when he saw someone: "Ning'er, why are you up again, I said that you can recuperate with peace of mind, and you don't have to worry about my affairs." ”

Qi Ning stepped forward and took his hand anxiously: "Husband, I heard today that the support team still hasn't found the princess, does the emperor want you to travel." ”
