Shen Leng looked at the contents of the bowl, and cautiously asked the emperor tentatively: "Your Majesty, isn't this noodle soup?" ”

The emperor glared at him: "You just treat it as a pimple soup, can't you?" ”

Shen Leng: "Remember, are we going to eat dumplings?" ”

Emperor: "Shut up. ”

Shen Leng: "Obey the ......"

Shen Leng sighed and snorted and ate two large bowls of pimple soup, the emperor looked happy in his heart, although the original idea was to make a dumpling for Shen Leng to eat, and he prepared it for a long time, but in the end the dumplings turned into pimple soup, but Shen Leng ate so much, the emperor was naturally happy.

Thinking about it, it seems that he hasn't cooked for a long, long time, and when he was in Cloud City, he occasionally cooked some things himself, so where did he have time to take care of these things after entering Chang'an. , The helplessness of men lies in the fact that if they want to maintain something, they have to give up something, a man who can take care of two points is qualified, a man who can take care of five points is already a strong man, and a man who can take care of seven points is afraid that a saint can do it.

Shen Leng drank two large bowls of pimple soup, and was just about to speak, when the horn on the city wall sounded again, and the attack of the black warriors came.

Shen Leng stood up straight, gave the emperor a military salute, put on an iron helmet, grabbed a horizontal knife, turned around and strode towards the door, it has been two days and two nights, Shen Leng didn't sleep for a while, the emperor looked at Shen Leng's back and was stunned, thinking that this stinky boy was really exactly the same as when he led the troops when he was young, at that time he had just arrived in the Northern Xinjiang Army, and people said that he was just a prince who came to rub some military merits and gilded, but the emperor has such a temperament, how can he really just go to the north for a walk? He was not sent to the north by the old emperor, but took the initiative to ask the old emperor to let him come, once if he didn't succeed, he begged twice, and if he didn't work twice, three times, from fifteen to sixteen years old, he himself didn't know how to ask his father for a whole year, and when he finally got permission, he almost jumped for joy.

After arriving in Northern Xinjiang, everyone respected him very much, he had a special status, even if he didn't do anything, he would naturally be respected, but he didn't want such respect, what he wanted was convincing.

He is Li Chengtang, he is not a coward, he once said that he only has one life in the world, since he is here, why should he live a mess around?

Since it's only once, it has to be exciting.

Every time he fights, he takes the lead, every time he fights, he is indomitable, after a year in Northern Xinjiang, who in the entire Northern Xinjiang still doesn't know that His Royal Highness the Prince is a desperate San Lang?

The most time, he fought with the black warriors for three days and three nights, and he didn't sleep for an hour or two, why did everyone who had fought side by side with the emperor be in awe to this day?

That's what they've seen with their own eyes, and they've experienced it themselves.

Today's forbidden army general Yuan Shu, Dongjiang general Pei Tingshan, sailor general Zhuang Yong, the late northern Xinjiang general Tie Liuli, these people have fought side by side with the emperor, otherwise how could the emperor leave the Xishu Dao Yunxiao City more than 20 years ago and enter Beijing, Pei Tingshan 9,000 swords and soldiers across the gate of Chang'an City? Otherwise, how could there be 80,000 elite tigers and thunderbolts who couldn't move, and let Pei Tingshan block the prince Li Xiaoran from the door?

At that time, His Majesty was the king of Liu, and when he was young, the king of Liuwang had a reputation in the army.

Watching Shen Leng stride out of the small courtyard, the emperor had only one thought, if this stinky boy is not his own son, whose son can it be?

It's really exactly the same character, exactly the same act.

Chang'an City.

There was a very strange woman sitting in front of the tea master, but she was not unfamiliar with this woman's name, a long, long time ago, when she had not become Shen Leng's wife, and she did not have her current status, she went to Chang'an City with Shen Leng to see Meng Changan, that was the first time the tea master heard this woman's name.

The dark path forces in Chang'an City, the largest one is the Liuyun Society, followed by the Red Crisp Hand.

The woman in front of her, who looked gentle as water, was His Majesty's confidante, the big boss with red crisp hands, Yun Hongsleeves.

Yun Hongsleeve is a woman who can't tell how old she is on her face, she should be in her thirties, at least thirty years old, but looking at her face, she is in her early twenties, but the maturity and wisdom in her eyes are not possessed by a little girl, and her eyes seem to have seen through the world.

"Why did you come to see me?"

The tea master couldn't help but ask.

Yun Hongsleeve smiled and put the small gift he brought in front of the tea master: "This is an accessory given to me by His Majesty, I have never worn it, Your Majesty has always sent things to a big man, he thinks it looks good, he doesn't ask others whether he likes it or not, but His Majesty's taste is really ...... I'm not saying that this thing is bad, but it's not suitable for me, the first time I saw you, I thought that this accessory was the most suitable for you, I'm a person...... The yin qi is too heavy. ”

When she uttered the last words herself, her tone was a little sad.

Tea Master is a very cheerful girl, and she is not.

She once felt that she could become a cheerful girl for Her Majesty, just like Concubine Zhen in the palace, but she knew that no matter how she changed, she would not become Concubine Zhen, and His Majesty would not have the same feelings for her as Concubine Zhen.

She is very envious of Concubine Zhen and also envies the tea master.

"I think Your Majesty has chosen a gift based on Concubine Zhen's liking."

Yun Hongsleeve pushed the delicate little wooden box in front of the tea master.

The tea master was stunned: "Master Yun, this is a gift from His Majesty, it is not good for you to transfer it to me." ”

"There's nothing wrong with that."

Yun Hongsleeve said with a smile: "What Your Majesty gave me is mine, and if I transfer it to others, it has nothing to do with Your Majesty." ”

Tea Master shook his head: "Everyone Yun still said that you want me to help with something." ”

"There's nothing for you to help with."

Yun Hongsleeves looked out the window: "Chang'an City is very quiet. ”

The tea master was stunned: "Chang'an City is very quiet? ”

"Don't you think?"

Yun Hongsleeve looked at the people coming and going on the street outside the window: "Everyone is quiet, even the air is quiet, but I am afraid...... Chang'an City is so big, big and frightening, because it is too big, it will hide many people's hearts, and the calm sea will also give people a sense of tranquility, but the undercurrent under the surface can make people irreversible. ”

"What are you afraid of?"

The tea master suddenly reacted: "The way back? ”

"Yes."

Yun Hongsleeve nodded, and his gaze was withdrawn from the street: "Your Majesty is not my man, although I have always wanted him to become my man for so many years, even if it is only temporary, but I can't change Your Majesty's mind, Your Majesty has never treated me as his woman, so he is not my man...... Your Majesty is my man again, Your Majesty doesn't recognize me, but I recognize Your Majesty, he has no love for me, I have love for him, so I feel in my heart that he can only be my man. ”

The tea master listened quietly, as if he wanted to hear something else from the words of the Yun family.

"Women, they will always suffer."

Yun Hongsleeve said lightly: "He doesn't recognize you, you identify him, and you lose more...... But if you think about it carefully, there are so many men and women in this world, if one of them makes you feel that it doesn't matter if you suffer a loss or not, and even want to suffer for him, it is also a kind of satisfaction. ”

Tea Ye shook his head: "I still don't understand what everyone Yun means." ”

"The tranquility of Chang'an City is fake."

Yun Hongsleeve said: "If nothing else, the first thing that is not calm is the secret road of Chang'an City, and then the court, even if Your Majesty fights with all his might, the battle of the Northern Expedition will not come back without a year, one year, enough to expose the ambitions that some people once carefully hidden, the manpower of the red crisp hand is barely enough, and the manpower of the Liuyun Club is even more, but ...... We are too clear, we are all dark but we are all on the bright side. ”

Yun Hongsleeve looked at the tea master: "Men have their own separate world, do we have them?" ”

The tea master nodded: "There should be talent." ”

"Yes, there should be talent, but often not...... The man I identified is not in Chang'an, and the man you identify is not in Chang'an, if someone wants to hurt them, I won't agree, and you won't agree, so it's not accurate to say that I'm going to ask you to help me with something, but to do what we should do, the man is not at home, and the woman carries it. ”

"Okay."

The tea master nodded.

East Palace.

Prince Li Changze glanced at Cao Anqing: "How is the arrangement?" ”

Cao Anqing lowered his head and said: "The people of the Tianzi Department who were hidden before have been transferred back to Chang'an, and the people in the rivers and lakes who have been recruited from all over the country are also gathering in Chang'an City, if nothing else, it will arrive at the beginning of next month, His Highness wants to pry, the first thing to pry can only be the rivers and lakes of Chang'an City, Ye Liuyun's Liuyun will fall, the red crisp hand will fall, the large wealth of the secret road of Chang'an City is in the hands of His Royal Highness, and if he controls the secret road, he will control most of the court, and Liuyun will hold the handle of too many important ministers of the court, These handles will become a sharp weapon for His Highness to control these people, and within half a month, the rivers and lakes of Chang'an City will definitely be turned upside down. ”

The prince couldn't help laughing: "No matter how useful the rivers and lakes are, they are just small things that can't be put on the table, controlling the rivers and lakes of Chang'an City, in order to let the Manchu Dynasty understand that I have the ability to control their lives, first take out Ye Liuyun, and then take out the woman called Yun Hongsleeve, the rivers and lakes are in my hands, and then I can take out Lai Cheng......"

The crown prince glanced at Cao Anqing: "Before my father left, he gave the cabinet great power, and they could deny my decision-making, so they added a lock to my rights, but my father forgot, this lock is said to be the entire cabinet, in fact, it is only Lai Cheng alone, as long as Lai Cheng is not there, the cabinet lock will not lock me." ”

Cao Anqing said: "When Lai Cheng travels, there must be a master of the Liuyun Society to protect him secretly, so if you pull out the tooth of the Liuyun Society first, you can seal Lai Cheng's mouth." ”

"That's right."

The crown prince got up: "My father has been in northern Xinjiang for a while. ”

He stood up and looked at his chair, and the more he looked at it, the more dissatisfied he became: "This chair is uncomfortable. ”

Cao Anqing laughed: "The chair in the Taiji Hall is comfortable. ”

The prince laughed.

Northern.

Another day passed, and the offensive of the black warriors was once again blocked back by the Daning border army, at this moment, there were so many corpses outside the Tucheng of Xifengkou that even the ground had been completely covered, and the team of the black warriors waving the white flag came over, they came to transport the corpses back, and the Ning army on the city wall was on strict guard, but they would not release arrows at them.

One by one, the expressionless black warriors carried the corpses of their comrades to the bottom of the high slope, and with a push, the corpses rolled down the high slope.

They remained expressionless.

War can be numbing.

Shen Leng stood on the city wall and looked at the black warriors who were carrying the corpses outside, he asked people to put down the hanging basket, and the soldiers of the Ning army also sat in the hanging basket to the city to transport the corpses of their own people, but none of the corpses that fell down were still complete.

People on both sides passed by without making a move, and perhaps this was the only time on the battlefield when they didn't kill each other.

Passed by, but indifferently.

......
