Chapter 217: The Eve of the Great War
But how could he not laugh?
The fragrant and calming taste, the gentle murmur seems to still linger around him, and even the touch of stroking the stomach is still real at the fingertips, everything is beautiful beyond imagination!
In the middle of the night, Zhan Nian laughed "haha" uncontrollably, and he believed in everything in his dreams, so how could Ayan die so easily? They still have so many beautiful and long days, just thinking about it, the surging in their chests can no longer be suppressed.
"Drive!"
Another whip struck, the horse suffered pain, accelerated through the dark night, and the iron rider who followed behind also raised the whip, stepping on the rolling dust, covering the clouds and the moon, but could not stop the urgent desire in his heart.
******
On the same night, there was still a lone lamp in the Ming Zheng Hall in Nanqian, and the prince had persuaded him several times, so it would hurt his eyes, so why not light a few more? But every time Ying Qi shook his head and refused, he also said that such a bad environment can better maintain the clarity of his thinking.
The prince didn't understand what the specific principle was, but every change in the situation in the southern country of Kyushu did start from the lonely light of this cold night.
"Help, help!"
The drumbeat of the third watch had already sounded outside, and Ying Qi, who was holding his elbows and pretending to sleep, opened his eyes suddenly, and couldn't help but ask out loud: "No news yet?" ”
When the prince was just about to return, there was a sound of hurried footsteps in his ears, and he got up in response to the sound and took a few steps to the center of the main hall, and a guard came wearing the stars and the moon, and knelt in front of him.
"Your Majesty, there's news."
"Yesterday, General Qiu conquered Liancheng, and the King of Yue fled south in a hurry and was besieged and killed in Jingling Pass."
In just a few words, Ying Qi's complexion suddenly soothed, and the worries of the past few days were also released at this moment. A battle for a city, not a battle for a city and a place, if you win, you will be alive, and if you lose, you don't know how many springs you have to wait.
"Good, good! Very good! ”
Ying Qi said a few good words in a row, and the guards also felt that the burden on their bodies could be unloaded after listening to it, after all, the fast horses galloped day and night, whether it was a tired body or a tense nerve, they needed a good rest.
However, he knelt on the ground, but he didn't wait for a long time to shout for him to retreat, and was muttering in his heart, when he heard the prince's reminder, intentional or unintentional.
"Your Majesty Shengming, General Qiu is mighty, this news is really happy! The unification of the southern kingdom of Kyushu is just around the corner, and the people can also share the peaceful and prosperous world! ”
"In contrast, it made the old slave think of Beiqin, they and Wurou are in full swing, Wurou is fierce and ruthless, this Beiqin doesn't know if it can hold on, the old slave is sweating for them."
"Wang Xiaojiang, what do you say?" doll
The prince handed over his gaze, and the guard who was called the young general of the king suddenly woke up after a long time, and quickly took over the conversation.
"What the prince said is true, that Wurou is indeed barbaric and ferocious, everywhere he passes, there are corpses everywhere, and there is not a single inch of grass left! Although Beiqin and Beiluo joined forces, but the beginning of the fight was indeed extremely difficult, when the imperial city of Beiqin was in danger, Beiluo increased the army by 200,000, and the Empress of Beiluo personally led the troops, since then, the situation is getting better day by day. ”
"General Qiu usually tells us to pay more attention to the situation in the north, so I don't know the details, but the general wind direction is very clear. At the same time as we were attacking South Vietnam, Northern Qin and Northern Luo had completely reversed the situation and trapped the hundreds of thousands of troops of Wurou at Changting Mountain, and it was not far from the day when Wurou would be fully repulsed. ”
After the guard Wang Xiaojun finished speaking, he quietly gave a look to the prince, and when he saw that he nodded slightly, he sighed heavily in his heart, why didn't he ask directly? His brain, which doesn't spin in circles, has been forced into a spinning top.
Ying Qi's face was still gloomy, but he finally opened Chrysostom, "Stand down......"
"Princess, you should step down too......"
"By the way, the big war is coming, and the return date of my expedition tomorrow is uncertain, so don't you follow, you ...... Guard the Mingxin Temple......"
When the prince heard this, he raised his head in surprise, what do these words mean? Are you happy to hear that Beiluo is worry-free? Still not happy? Is it reassuring? Still not sure?
Yes, he is too old to guess at all, and what is even more inconclusive is what you specially asked me to do in an empty Mingxin Palace?
Letting the prince toss and turn in his heart, Ying Qi calmly stepped out of the palace gate.
At this time, the air is slightly warm, the wind is gentle, and the moon is bright in the sky, and the stars are shining all over the sky, which is quite intoxicating.
Ying Qi walked slowly towards the Mingxin Palace, thinking that he hadn't slept seriously for a long time, so he would be serious tonight, and he didn't know how much of the smell in the dormitory could remain, would it be enough for him to sleep until dawn?
As he passed by the lotus pond, he stopped and watched for a while. Another spring has arrived, and the spring of Nanqian came very early, it must not be long, this lotus pond is green leaves in the sky, delicate and flowery, at that time, there will be no plain hand folding blue, foot play koi?
As he continued on, passing by a clearing, he stopped again, leaned over to pick a small grass that had just sprouted, and sighed faintly. He is actually not very good, proud and willful and very domineering, and has repeatedly bullied and teased her with the weakness of "fear of the dark", which is so annoying, hehe...... It's normal.
So when she fell, it was the grass on the ground that soothed and cherished her, and what did he say? What was done? What to leave for others?
God gave him two chances, obviously desperately trying to seize it, but in the end it got farther and farther away, why? Is she too ruthless, or does she want too much and do too little?
In short, she didn't need him at all, and she seemed to be better off without him......
But what did he do? What did he do? What the hell is he going to do!!
Ying Qi crushed the grass in his hand, got up slowly, his face was calm and he couldn't see his joy or anger, he didn't make any stay, and went back to Mingxin Hall directly.
The night can hide a person's vulnerability, and when the sun comes out, he has to go on a long journey!
