() Because the three of them were just catching up, they didn't call the girls, and it was not convenient to have Yin Qingqi here.

Chang Lei sat in the middle of the seat, which means that he was a guest, and the two of them were accompanied by him, looking at him with a smile.

"Look at what I'm doing, drinking."

Chang Lei filled it for the two of them, and when the wine in the cup was about to overflow, it stopped abruptly.

"How long will General Chang stay here?"

Yin Qingqi asked with concern, and the appearance of still having some nostalgia for the old days made Chang Lei feel distressed.

"Miss Qingqi, I'm afraid I won't stay long, the prince needs me on his side." Chang Lei smiled awkwardly, Qi Yuan's name has now become a taboo between the three of them, and it is a little embarrassing to mention it.

"What's the news in the capital?" Xue Tan asked casually, he knew that this was also what Yin Qingqi cared about.

"I haven't heard of any news, but I've found out a little about this Turkic operation." Chang Lei frowned slightly, with a sad expression.

"And this is also the reason why I am in a hurry to return to Beijing, in the past few days in Yanzhou, I have found out about Yanzhou, Shuzhou and two places." Chang Lei drank the wine silently, looking sad, and he didn't expect that the banquet of the three of them would turn into a military discussion in the end.

"Is there a traitor who can't do it?" Yin Qingqi hurriedly asked, if you want to be a good general, you still need to have this vigilance.

"That's true, but it's not our side that's wrong, it's Nanzhao, someone in Nanzhao is wantonly stirring up trouble, and joining forces with the Turks."

Chang Lei sighed and looked out the window with a long look. "You still know this person."

"We know? Who the hell is it? Yin Qingqi and Xue Tan glanced at each other, and there were expressions of disbelief in each other's eyes.

"Do you know that Nanzhao changed hands and changed to a new emperor? After we left Nanzhao, earth-shaking changes took place within their court. Chang Lei said indifferently, even Qi Yuan didn't expect such a drama to happen in this matter.

"The crown prince succeeded to the throne, and the crown princess of Nanzhao is Huo Jiuling." Chang Lei let out a long sigh, obviously not a good thing.

"Huo Jiuling? How could it be her? Yin Qingqi's eyes widened, he didn't expect that the pit that killed a few people in the past

Huo Jiuling, now has become the mother of the country of Nanzhao, no matter who it is, it is unbelievable.

"After that incident, Huo Jiuling was sealed by the emperor, climbed all the way, and finally married the prince." Chang Lei frowned, maybe marrying the prince has always been Huo Jiuling's wish, but now the people who marry are different, and the identity has changed slightly.

"Qi Yuan also knows about this matter, we have discussed it for a long time, but there has been no result, and now I have received a tip-off that the Turkic envoy has met with Nanzhao Shengshang, and someone is secretly planning a war, General Xue, you can't underestimate the enemy." Chang Lei glanced at Xue Tan, Xue Tan also frowned, and the worry in his eyes was overflowing.

"I can't imagine that pheasants can fly up the branches." Xue Tan snorted coldly with disdain, for Huo Jiuling, he was still haunted, if it weren't for Yin Qingqi's illness, I'm afraid Xue Tan would have killed her a long time ago.

"What is there to worry about, a woman's family, ruling is nothing more than those intra-palace struggles, besides, how dare Nanzhao fight with the Heavenly Dynasty?" Xue Tan said disdainfully, his tone full of contempt.

"What I'm afraid of is that this woman has a hatred for the Celestial Empire." Chang Lei sighed, if he was a sane person, maybe it would be okay, war was originally a matter of labor and money, if Huo Jiuling really provoked a war between the two places, I am afraid that countless people would die unjustly in the war.

"Xue Tan, this matter should not be underestimated, let me remind you, don't make a big mess because of negligence for a while, you have won several battles, and you also know that the Turks are more cunning than Dong Yu, besides, Nanzhao is friendly to us, it was originally the decision of the first emperor of Nanzhao, and now that Huo Jiuling is in power, it is not so simple, she hates Qi Yuan very much."

Chang Lei reminded in a whisper, Yin Qingqi was drinking silently on the side, with a disgust in his eyes.

Yin Qingqi was naturally extremely disgusted by Huo Jiuling's behavior, but after all, she still saved her life, and begged Qi Yuan to let her go, but she raised a scourge.

"Maybe I should have killed her in the first place!" There was a hint of gloom in Xue Tan's eyes.

"It's useless to kill her, the top and bottom of Nanzhao have no sense of identity with the Celestial Empire, they are just clowns, no matter how good you are to them, you always want to oppose the Celestial Empire." Chang Lei shook his head helplessly, it can be seen from the officials of Nanzhao that their attitude towards the Celestial Empire

, the attitude towards Qi Yuan is just fear, not true submission.

"In short, when I return to Beijing, you also have to take precautions, maybe one day, they will come to the door, this time I lost the country, the Turks are thieves, I also have an eyeliner in Nanzhao, I only know about these things, and after I report to the prince, I am afraid there will be a big move."

Chang Lei shook his head helplessly, he followed Qi Yuan's side, he had been collecting intelligence for him for a long time, and he was free, but now that he was a general, he restrained his hands and feet, and everything had to be reported to his subordinates, which made them panic.

"It's very likely that I will go back and be stationed in Shuzhou, as the two major capitals, the importance of the land of Yanshu to the border, don't you need to tell me?" Chang Lei looked at Xue Tan worriedly, Xue Tan and Qi Yuan have always been at odds, now that Xue Tan has left Beijing, the relationship between the two has completely broken down, Chang Lei is also worried that Xue Tan will ignore the overall situation at this time, and the war will be stalemate, not child's play.

"How is Qi Yuan?" Xue Tan asked lightly, his eyes were full of unwillingness.

Yin Qingqi only felt that her heart was in a suspension, the panic in her eyes couldn't be hidden, and she quietly looked at Chang Lei several times, and met Xue Tan's gaze, but she was even more ashamed.

"The prince was happy and quiet, and after he went back, he had a big quarrel with the emperor, and then he slowly eased up a lot." Chang Lei became quieter and quieter, he didn't know how much impact his words would have on Yin Qingqi, but at least he knew that Yin Qingqi's thoughts would be shaken by this.

Didn't you still fail to beat the emperor?

A wry smile appeared on the corner of Yin Qingqi's mouth, staring at the rich dishes on the table in a daze, and he had no appetite at all.

It seems that your will is not very firm, Yin Qingqi thought, the promises that Qi Yuan said to him in the past have now come to naught, leaving only the ripples and waves in the bottom of your heart, which are calming down.

Xue Tan had called Yin Qingqi several times, but she was stunned and didn't hear a word until Xue Tan pushed her slightly.

A touch of loss appeared in Xue Tan's eyes, could it be that she still can't forget that man?

Xue Tan looked at Yin Qingqi mournfully, he knew that he would never be able to get Yin Qingqi's heart like Qi Yuan, but at least, now Yin Qingqi is always accompanied by not Qi Yuan, but himself.
