There was no doubt under the order, but it aroused a wave of doubts in Tiehua's heart.

Since Zhu Zhiling's death, Emperor Ming has been living in seclusion and mystery.

In particular, when discussing military strategies with generals from all sides, they never gather together, but give face-to-face lectures separately. In other words, all the generals only knew the orders they had received, and they were completely ignorant of the duties of the rest of the generals, let alone speculate on the deep meaning of the Ming Emperor from the overall layout.

Tiehua knew that she was not good at words, and her brain was not as good as that of her sister Yinhua, so she was already trying to keep everything she could hear in her heart, thinking about when she could pass it on to Wen Lan.

The Blade Clan is right in front of them, but they can't go into battle to kill the enemy side by side with them, which is really embarrassing!

However, Tiehua knew that Wen Lan ordered her to continue to lurk beside Emperor Ming had a more important mission, because when necessary, only herself, the person closest to Emperor Ming, could deliver a fatal blow.

The herald who received the order of the Ming Emperor hurried downstairs, leaving everyone still kneeling there.

Emperor Ming turned around and said, "Okay, let's get up." Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of one of the sleeves of Wu Qing's left arm gone, and sighed, "What are you?" ”

Wu Qing said with a smile: "Back to Your Majesty, this was torn up when I fought with Imuran's hundred tribes. However, the minister exchanged this sleeve for the lives of the two patriarchs, and this business is very cost-effective. ”

Emperor Ming finally couldn't help but be amused by her, and ordered: "I know your ability, and I also know the courage of the generals. Come, bring wine, I want to drink with all of you. ”

Emperor Ming was obviously in a good mood, and when he saw the maid serving the wine vessel, he personally took the wine pot and filled the wine cup one by one.

Wu Qing and Tie Hua each took one, and the other two female generals on the side of Emperor Ming also came over to receive the imperial wine.

The two of them have similar appearances, a slight difference in age, and their eyebrows are full of heroism, and they are people who practice martial arts at first glance.

Emperor Ming handed the wine to the older one and said, "Xie Zhi, in fact, I wanted to call your sister to come, but you still came with me." I know that you can't rest assured...... I should thank you for this glass of wine. ”

It turned out that this person was Xie Zhi, the previous Chaoyuan general who guarded Hengzhou, because he was married and taught his husband and children at home, so he recommended his sister to take over the position of Chaoyuan general.

Xie Zhi saw Emperor Ming raise the lamp to thank him, and hurriedly kowtowed to take it and said, "Your Majesty is safe, then Bihai is safe." If Xie Zhi does not fight in this battle, how can he live with peace of mind in the future, and the minister will never dare to be reluctant. ”

Emperor Ming picked up another glass of wine and handed it to her sister Xie Han beside her: "Your sister is also a good general after resigning, I believe that you will not be inferior to her, after all, you are your own sister." It is also fortunate that I have you and you working together to protect the blue sea. ”

Xie Han was most afraid that others would compare her sister with her, and Emperor Ming chose this point to talk about her, which provoked her to take the wine cup and drink it all up: "Your Majesty!" Although the minister is young, he will definitely live up to His Majesty's expectations and complete the miraculous strategies granted by His Majesty. However, if the minister succeeds, he will come to ask His Majesty for a reward! ”

Xie Han is nineteen years old, and there is still some childishness in his words, but what Emperor Ming likes is the courage of this newborn calf, and when he heard her say that he wants to be rewarded, the implication is that he will succeed, and laughed and said: "But if I ask for something, I will not allow it." ”

Emperor Ming handed another glass of wine to Wu Qing and said: "Hu Ying is not here, you drink for her, after drinking these two glasses of wine, you will go down and pass a message to her, tell her."

She, I'll remember her. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone knew what they meant, and they were all silent.

Only Wu Qing smiled lightly and said: "In accordance with Your Majesty's holy will, Wu Qing will definitely bring the words, Sister Hu Ying is a heroine among women, and the minister will remember her for a lifetime!" ”

Tiehua saw that everyone had drunk the wine, and he wanted to drink it himself, but was stopped by Emperor Ming: "A few of them are going to fight after drinking, you are protecting me, and you are still free, it is better to accompany me to drink slowly for a while." ”

Tiehua was stunned when she heard this, so she had to put down the wine cup.

Emperor Ming watched all the female generals go downstairs one after another, and said with a retreat: "You all go down, I want to be quiet for a while, it is enough to have an iron flower to guard." ”

After a while, the entire platform retreated cleanly, leaving only Emperor Ming and Tiehua.

"Good Linzhou City, it's so fragmented...... Emperor Ming glanced at the wolf smoke reflecting the fire in the distance, turned his head and sighed and returned to the throne, as if he couldn't bear to look at it again.

"I think that when the first emperor entrusted the country to me, this pavilion had not yet been built. Although this word is still given by the first emperor, I have this heart...... I hope I won't need it for the rest of my life. Pity...... I still use it today. ”

Emperor Ming squinted at Tie Huadao and asked, "Speaking of which, do you know what this Pavilion is for?" ”

Tiehua bowed her head and replied, "It should be used to look out over the city." ”

"What else?"

Tiehua thought about it, but couldn't think of it anymore, so she had to respond: "The last general is dull." ”

Emperor Ming smiled slightly: "Well, there are some things that you will know sooner or later." ”

She raised the flask and poured herself a glass, sighed after drinking: "I know that you have always been quiet and quiet, but you are very reliable in doing things, and Princess Qingyun did not use you less when she was alive. I thought it would be a good thing to have your sisters to help her. ”

Tiehua heard Emperor Ming praise her, and was about to thank her, but Emperor Ming stretched out his hand to stop her words, signaling her to just listen.

"Qing Shark's life, thoughtful and thoughtful, is much better than I was back then, but it is just a little more worrying than I was in the past, so I ...... Alas, there are some things that I can't say to anyone, and I can only talk to you, after all, you were the only one who was by my side that night and knew all the ins and outs. ”

Tiehua bowed her head and was silent, she knew that what Emperor Ming said was the truth, and Zhu Zhiling's death in childbirth was just Emperor Ming's rhetoric to cover up the truth. The only ones who really know the truth are her and her sister Yinhua, and they are the only ones who will bring Zhu Zhiling's fall to death to Emperor Ming.

"Sometimes I wonder why she's jumping. Am I not her blood relative except for her father? In any case, I didn't really want to take her life, so why should she jump? Iron Flower ...... You say, why is she! Emperor Ming suddenly became excited, and his questioning voice was also high.

"Perhaps...... Maybe it's caused by fetal gas disorders......" Tiehua didn't know how to answer, she had never been good at paying attention to these feelings, but since Emperor Ming asked, she could only reluctantly answer.

"Fetal gas disorder...... Emperor Ming sneered: "I later let the imperial doctor check it, she took two Vermilion Bird Fetal Protection Pills that night, saying that the fetal gas is too strong I believe, saying that it is impossible to say that the disorder is impossible." Two Suzaku fetal protection pills! ”

Emperor Ming suddenly slammed his palm on the table.

"When I gave birth to Princess Qingyang, I felt that I was too old and physically exhausted, and I still didn't dare to take the tiger and wolf medicine, but she took two pills in a row, and all it was just to deal with my biological mother, a blood relative! How sinful is I to that she should do this to me? actually forced me into the Luanxiang Hall for the sake of a Zhao Wuyun! ”

Tiehua saw that Emperor Ming's face was crimson with anger, but there was crystal sparkle in his eyes.

Feelings that have been suppressed for a long time cannot gradually dissipate, and they will accumulate deeper and deeper. How long has the Ming Emperor been depressed, and the iron flower who is almost close knows better than anyone else.

This is about the first time that Emperor Ming has vented his frustration and sorrow so directly.

The atmosphere around was silent for a while, and only the faint sound of burning and killing in the distance could be heard in my ears. Tie Hua still bowed her head and remained silent, waiting for Emperor Ming's mood to slowly calm down.

"That's it...... No matter how unwilling I am, people are gone. Emperor Ming saw that the glass of wine in Tiehua's hand had not yet been drunk, so he motioned for her to drink it first.

"Sometimes I want to talk to people, but I can't find the right person. It would be very troublesome to put my words in my ears and pass them on to other people's mouths. It is even more tricky to hide it in your ears and in your heart, and to ponder some vicious thoughts. That's why I want to talk to people like you, who can't preach or ponder. Emperor Ming pointed to a small cupboard of gold clay on the side of the table, "You are big, it is not appropriate to drink such a small wine cup, go there and get a big one, and pour it for me by the way." ”

Tie Hua opened the cupboard as he said, and saw a green sheep's head gilt silver Fangzun, more than twice the size of Fang Cai's wine cup.

In front of the Ming Emperor was still the seven-pointed orchid cup used by the emperor, and the two of them each drank one before putting it down.

Emperor Ming leaned on the throne and said casually: "Speaking of the four generals of the blue sea that I recruited this time, in terms of martial arts alone, most of them are no match for you, the general of Chenglang. But they all have their own advantages. Hu Ying is a veteran of the battlefield, with profound qualifications, leading the troops calmly, and handing over the Golden Feather Battalion to her, I am most relieved. Deng Ning, but everything I confess can do exactly what is done, and he is loyal, and he is the most willing to take the lead. Xie Han is a fledgling, his blood is strong, and the closer he gets to Xie Zhi, the harder he works, and the two sisters play at the same time, which can be said to complement each other. As for Wu Qingmo...... What do you think of her martial arts? ”

Tiehua hesitated: "This...... The minister and General Wu Qing have never fought each other, and the minister can't say it well. ”

"It's not strange if you don't know, in fact, even I don't know how much she has ability, she only hides it secretly, but I know that her martial arts should be the highest among the four generals of the blue sea."

Tie Hua was a little surprised, she didn't want to comment on who was high in martial arts between herself and Wu Qing because she didn't want to lose anything, but in private she had also seen Wu Qing's skills, it was really mediocre, could it be that she had lost her eyes?

Emperor Ming pointed to Tie Hua's side and said, "There are no outsiders here, I will give you to sit." Otherwise, if you're so tall, I'll have to look up at you and talk, and my neck hurts. ”

Tiehua sat down obediently.

Emperor Ming continued to chat: "Although Wu Qing's martial arts are good, his mind is very active. A person like her will not work hard for anyone, everything is based on temperament and preference. ”

Tie Hua was stunned, but he didn't expect that Emperor Ming would directly point out Wu Qing's disloyalty.

"But you wonder why I still use her even though I know she's not loyal, right?" Emperor Ming frowned and only looked at his heart for a moment, and he knew what Tie Hua was thinking.
