It is only now that Hua Qianshu has recovered from the shock.

It is self-evident how important this gold medal is. The Qinghua Hou Mansion actually took it to save his life, which undoubtedly put the entire Tsinghua Hou Mansion on the opposite side of the Xie family. This affection is like a mountain and a sea!

She looked at Shi Chen gratefully, but Shi Chen's face was still indifferent and indifferent, and she was not shocked.

Given by the ancestors, even if Hua Qianshu committed a heinous crime, he couldn't help it. After all, the current country is still a night family. She thanked Xinlan for her unjustifiable reputation.

A plan was ruined. This made Xie Xinlan a little annoyed and angry. She sneered and looked at Shi Chen, and said many "good" words in a row: "Take back the gold medal and release people!"

Yefang slowly breathed a sigh of relief and slumped his shoulders. followed Xie Xinlan and walked decisively, without looking back. Shi Chen smiled at Hua Qianshu, and also turned around and walked away.

The little emperor stepped forward, untied Hua Qianshu with his own hands, and whispered in a low voice: "Uncle Seven Emperor asked me to order Dongfang Qi to go out of the palace to borrow the gold medal of the Qinghua Marquis Mansion to avoid death, but I didn't expect that your popularity is not bad." ”

Hua Qianshu spent the rest of his life after the catastrophe, and he was still in the mood to ridicule: "The emperor remembers to borrow and repay, and it is not difficult to borrow again." By the way, it's best to make me a piece too, my head is precarious at any time. ”

The little emperor rarely showed a little childishness: "Then it depends on how you behave?"

Hua Qianshu blinked suspiciously: "I'm almost going in, isn't it good enough?"

The little emperor raised his head proudly: "These days are a little boring, you are okay to follow me, I want to hear your story." ”

Hua Qianshu knew that the little emperor was protecting himself in disguise. The Seven Emperor Uncles are all holding knives at themselves, and they are absolutely unreliable, so it is best to hold this golden thigh tightly. This little life was saved for the time being.

Xie Xinlan was so angry that he was helpless about Hua Qianshu for a while. The air pressure in the palace is heavy, and a mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of momentum, and everyone is in danger.

Three days later, Feng Chumad returned to Beijing in triumph. Hundreds of civil and military officials gathered at the city gate.

Xie Xinlan and Ye Fang stood high on the city wall, looking far away, and the banner of Chang'an could be seen hunting in the wind.

She turned her face and asked Yefang: "I have already sent someone to deliver the decree, ordering Feng Chu to lead the army back to the camp, and then unload the armor and enter Beijing." Do you say, will he obediently obey my dictate?"

Ye Fang's face was expressionless, and he watched from a distance as the long dragon-like march slowly moved in the direction of the capital: "The Queen Mother's decree, who dares to disobey it?"

"Not necessarily. The corners of Xie Xinlan's lips were slightly hooked, with a touch of smug sarcasm: "Maybe this Feng Chu is crazy and eats the gall of an ambitious leopard." I don't know, who gave him the guts. ”

Ye Fang put one hand on the city wall, and the cool breeze blew his clothes rustling: "Disobeying the order is a capital crime." ”

"But he has a tiger talisman in his hand, leading tens of thousands of military horses, and he has something to rely on. Xie Xinlan turned his face to look at Yefang, and what he said was meaningful.

"Do you mean he's going to rebel?" asked Yefang lightly.

"Not necessarily. Xie Xinlan's tone paused: "You said that if he really rebelled, who would you favor?"

Yefang has been staring intently at the moving flag: "I have always disdained things that are unfounded. ”

Xie Xinlan sighed lightly: "Nangong Jinliang died on the battlefield, and the strategists around him suddenly cut off contact with the Nangong family, my uncle said, I'm afraid that Nangong Jinliang's death is a little strange." I think he's overthinking. However, the fact that my cousin was assassinated and killed only a few days after he was in command of the expedition is all the more puzzling. Are the tens of thousands of troops in my Chang'an all decorations? I can't even protect a commander?"

"So what?"

"Therefore, the person I sent to Wolong Pass told me that it was true that the second prince of Xiliang, Jin Geer, sent troops, but it was a bluff, and in fact it was less than 10,000 soldiers and horses. It is quite puzzling that a little carving insect skill can deceive Gu Mozhi. ”

Ye Fang pursed his lips: "Indeed." ”

"10,000 soldiers and horses can actually kill two of my commanders in Chang'an. And Feng Chu mad all the way through the pass, as if devastating, so easily let Jin Geer retreat for dozens of miles, if the tiger father has no dog, it seems that the regent's gaze is very vicious, and the recommended candidate is really majestic. ”

Ye Fang smiled: "It's good that the Queen Mother is satisfied." ”

"Of course I'm satisfied. Xie Xinlan smiled more and more intriguingly, staring at Yefang's eyes: "You say, have I always been too confident?"

"You have the capital of self-confidence. ”

"Yes," Xie Xinlan narrowed his eyes: "I feel that I am the first to appear in your heart, your life, you once stayed away from Shangjing because of my betrayal, killed the enemy on the battlefield, and did so much for me." So, I think your affection for me should be long, if not long-lasting. ”

"If what I did in the past would make the Queen Mother think that I was caused by you, I apologize. I remember clarifying again and again that all I like is flowers. But you are stubborn and unwilling to convince yourself. ”

"That's because she's good for nothing, nothing compares to me, and you can't like her. You are deliberately using it to anger me and provoke me. I don't believe it, even five or six years ago, even if I knew that when you were dealing with Zhou Lie, you betrayed me and were seeking power, I am willing to believe you again.

For five years, you were cold and detached from me, and even if you pretended to be a dementor, you still didn't get close to me. But I'm still struggling, and I'm reluctant to let go again and again. When I thought of losing you, I would spend the rest of my life alone in this lonely deep palace, and I felt slim and shuddered. So, even though I know you don't have me in your heart, I'm still willing to make a final effort. Who knows, it turned out to be a failure. ”

A cool and sarcastic smile slowly floated on Yefang's lips: "These are insignificant compared to the splendid country and monstrous power in front of you." It's just a lonely pastime after you've enjoyed the glory. You don't have to say so aggrieved, for five years, you are just using me to compete with the Xie family and sit firmly on your throne. Therefore, for five years, you have been secretly eradicating my power, and you just want to imprison me forever and become a puppet who bows down to you. ”

"That's because you won't give in to me! If you want this country, what's the difficulty? As long as you say you like it to me, make me happy. We can join hands and share the glory, and we can have our own children in the future, and we can inherit the Yejia family in the name of righteousness. It's so easy, why do you have to worry so much, is it so important to be loyal to her?"

"Important. Ye Fang opened his lips, slowly but firmly: "The country I have laid for her must rely on my own ability, and it must be clean." Otherwise, she wouldn't like it. ”

"Hehe, but in the end, the world will only say that you have used and betrayed me. ”

"If it weren't for the failure of the original plan, the emperor was young, alone in the deep palace, surrounded by wolves, and worried about his life, why would I be this regent? If it weren't for the fact that I didn't want to be ruined, give foreign enemies an opportunity to take advantage of, make a profit, invade my Chang'an land, and bully my people in Chang'an, I would really be willing to compete with you on the battlefield! Even if it may take ten or twenty years, even if the blood is thrown and the head falls to the ground, I will be defeated. ”

Five years ago, if you dared to say a word, did you think that the people in your palace and the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion still had a life? You are an idle prince, do you have the prestige to respond to every call? Do you have the food and salary to raise soldiers? Will I raise tigers for trouble? You carry too much at night, your family and country, the world, and your relatives and close friends, so you don't dare, and you can't! You can only wronged yourself. ”

There was silence in the night. He understands Xie Xinlan, and similarly, Xie Xinlan understands him. He doesn't even have the capital to break the net.

"I never knew you hated me like that. Xie Xinlan smiled bitterly: "If it weren't for the fact that the military power has always been in my hands, you wouldn't dare to raise soldiers privately, I'm afraid you would have killed me a long time ago." ”
