"The rain has stopped." Wei Renpu Road.

Standing on the wet grass after the rain, the two of them looked over the large camp tent and saw a group of cavalry running in formation; The swaying red tassels on the iron helmet are reflected in the orange-red sunset farther away.

Zan Jurun followed Wei Renpu's meaning and said: "When all the scouts who went west return to the camp, the army can be mobilized tomorrow." ”

Wei Renpu nodded, his expression was a little solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "The old man has seen the commander's marching deployment, Shi Yanchao is no longer a striker, he has changed; The generals of the former army scout battalion have also been replaced. The men and horses before and after Shi Yanchao's headquarters iron cavalry command are also very special. ”

"Why?" Zan Jurun blurted out.

Wei Renpu's eyes looked to the side, and said quietly: "If there is a messenger coming back from Tokyo, it will definitely be discovered by the former army scouts first......

Although the military government of the former battalion is responsible for planning strategies and transmitting military orders, in order to ensure that the army is led by the most experienced people, the commander-in-chief of the regiment is still fully responsible for decision-making and deployment.

Zan Jurun's face gradually became whiter, and he said after a long time: "Xiaguan is Chinese New Year's Eve six today, and the birth year is a bit bumpy, so I have to believe ......."

…… The army marched out as scheduled and returned along the same route. After three days of marching, it began to rain lightly. So Li Chuyun immediately ordered to be stationed on the spot to rest, and did not say how long he would stay, waiting for the rain to stop.

Wei Renpu didn't say anything, just rode around to inspect the people and horses who were camped. Passing by the military camp where Shi Yanchao was, he saw Shi Yanchao riding a horse to greet him from the rain, he was still like that, raising his head and squinting his eyes, clenching his fists and making a ridiculous military salute.

"Drive!" Wei Renpu stepped forward and approached Shi Yanchao, looking at the surrounding situation while facing the other place and said: "The military order of the Privy Council that day, everyone has read it together, and it is sure that it is the army returning to the dynasty, and General Shi has to know it in his heart." ”

"Hmm!" Shi Yanchao made a sound.

Wei Renpu said again: "That is the order of the Privy Council, and it is the will of the officials. If there is any change, it must be determined that the military order comes from the center. ”

At this moment, a knight rode his horse over, turned over and dismounted and hugged his fists and said: "Deputy Envoy of Wei, the scout has captured a Khitan!" ”

Wei Renpu blurted out: "Where did the Khitan people come from in this place? ”

The knight said: "It must be a spy!" Now he is being escorted to the Chinese army, and he asks Deputy Envoy Wei to go with him to meet the Khitans. ”

Shi Yanchao scolded his mother. Wei Renpu was not in a hurry and asked, "Is it Gong Li who invited the old man?" ”

The knight shook his head.

Wei Renpu immediately stretched out his hand to stop Shi Yanchao, "General Shi can't help if he goes, stay in the camp." Let's take a look, old man. ”

Wei Renpu pulled the reins on the belly of the horse, and turned around and left the camp.

The misty drizzle on his head was still there, the raindrops sprinkled on his coat and hat slowly soaked into the material, Wei Renpu's body was wet and cold, the air was misty, his vision was a little blurred, and the whole world seemed to be shrouded in a layer of fog. The soil under the horse's hooves was also soaked by the rain and trampled to the mud, and the horse had some difficulty walking.

As for the big tent of the Chinese army, a number of military generals and civil officials such as Zan Jurun also arrived. Wei Renpu clasped his fists and saluted Li Chuyun directly above, and Li Chuyun returned the salute and shouted, "Bring it in!" ”

A Khitan man was escorted into the big tent, the hat of the guy was gone, he was bald, and his face was definitely a Khitan! The Khitan people struggled for a moment, pressed their hands to their chests and bowed: "Xiao Aya, the envoy of the Great Liao, meet Li Dashuai." ”

Immediately, a military general scolded: "Envoy? Lao Tzu sees that you are sneaky, you must be a spy, what kind of tricks do you have, you are recruited from the truth! ”

The Khitan people ignored the general, and looked up at Li Chuyun: "Li Dashuai ......"

Seeing this situation, Wei Renpu felt that this Khitan might not be willing to speak in front of so many people, and maybe he wanted to take a step to talk with Li Chuyun in secret! Sure enough, Li Chuyun also understood the meaning, and said quietly at the moment: "The lord of Liao sent you, if you have anything to say, take advantage of everyone's presence and say it now." ”

"This ......" the Khitan people looked embarrassed.

Li Chuyun looked at each other coldly.

The Khitan people looked at Li Chuyun for a while, then untied his clothes and tore the clothes inside with a "bang". All the civil and military officers were quite calm, and they all looked coldly at what this guy was going to do.

The Khitan took out a sealed letter, picked it up and said: "Xiao Gong, the privy envoy of the Northern Court of Great Liao, has something to say to Gong Li, and wrote it on the letter. ”

The people around Li Chuyun stepped forward to deliver the letter, and Li Chuyun tore it open when he got the thing, holding the letter and looking at it. There was silence in the tent for a while, and everyone paid attention to the letter in Li Chuyun's hand...... A secret letter from an enemy country!

At this moment, there was a sudden "bang", and everyone was frightened, and they saw that Li Chuyun was furious, and he tore the letter to shreds, and everyone was stunned.

Li Chuyun tore it up, pointed at the Khitan and said, "Come on, drag it out and cut it!" ”

The Khitan people were in a hurry, and hurriedly looked back at the armor soldiers who rushed up, looking like they wanted to speak and stopped. The armor soldier stepped forward and grabbed him by the arm, and dragged him out without saying a word. The Khitans finally shouted: "Li Gong! Li Gong...... I'm a member of the Xiao family, a nobleman of the Great Liao, you can't kill me! ”

Li Chuyun's face was blue, and he didn't hesitate at all. The armor soldiers looked up and dragged the Khitans straight out.

It happened so suddenly, and before everyone came to their senses, they saw the armor soldier come in with a bloody head to show Li Chuyun. Li Chuyun glanced at it and waved his hand.

No one in the tent spoke, and everyone stared blankly at the head.

Wei Renpu saw everything that happened just now, and his heart was like a mirror: although Li Chuyun did not publicize the secret letter, he directly killed the messenger of the enemy country, and there was no suspicion of fornicating with the enemy country.

But now Wei Renpu muttered in his heart: What did Xiao Siwen want to say when he sent someone? What exactly was written in that letter?

……

In addition to going to the Jinxiang Hall to take care of political affairs, Jinzhan spent most of his time guarding Guo Shao in the Long Live Palace; Sometimes she looked at Guo Shao without even blinking her eyes, as if she was afraid that she would never see him again. At this time, her heart was sore and painful, and she was not in the mood for military politics for a long time, but in order to reassure Guo Shao, she still insisted on staying in Jinxiang Hall for a few hours every day.

Guo Shao's condition deteriorated quickly, and Lu Niangzi simply moved to live in the Long Live Palace.

Marigold and Guo Shao sat silently opposite each other, waiting for someone to meet. During this time, Guo Shao talked to her without a match.

He slowly stretched out his hand, placed it on Marigold's face, and muttered, "Sometimes I feel that this life is like a dream, as if it was an illusion that never existed...... But the person who appeared in front of me was flesh and blood, so real, warm body temperature, like satin skin...... I can even really see the fine hairs, feel the joys and sorrows of the marigold, and feel the joys and sorrows of the people......"

Marigold listened, not daring to speak. Because she was afraid that she would cry out loud as soon as she opened her mouth.

"I want to see the people I love laugh every day, and I want to make my people less miserable. Unfortunately, I'm not the sun, so I can't reach every corner......"

"Your Majesty, you have done a good job." Marigold said in a very slow voice, feeling her very hard.

At this time, a shrill voice came from outside: "Slaves and maids are ordered to come to see you." ”

Guo Shao said: "Come in." ”

The people who came in were Jing Niang and the eunuch Yang Shiliang. Jing Niang's face turned white, looking at Guo Shaofa stunned, without saying a word, Yang Shiliang also looked heavy, bowed down and stood at the bottom.

Guo Shao was silent for a long time and said: "Whenever the envoys are windy and rainy, the light is not clear, and the ghosts and ghosts are the most rampant...... At this time, the factory must not slack off, if there is anything that you can't see me, tell the queen directly. ”

Yang Shiliang hurriedly said: "The slave obeys the order." ”

Guo Shao didn't hear Jing Niang's response, and turned his head to look at her with an inquiring gaze.

Jing Niang said coldly: "If Your Majesty has a mistake, I will follow." Those things don't mean anything to me anymore. ”

Guo Shao frowned, "The difficulty of the world is only life and death." But I think it's not easy to live, it's interesting, and when you die, there's nothing. ”

Jing Niang was silent.

Guo Shao quietly observed Yang Shiliang with his residual eyes, and said with a straight face: "I order you to live and be loyal to the queen from now on!" Jing Niang, will you listen to me one last time? ”

After saying that, he looked at Jing Niang with earnest eyes, Guo Shao's words, deeds and emotions are very infectious, and he is now sick, but this ability is still there. Jing Niang's expression was subtle and complex, and it had eased and loosened a little.

He sighed again and persuaded, "It's not easy for everyone to get together; It's easy to break up. Be considerate of the hardships of me and me bringing you together. ”

"Your Majesty!" Yang Shiliang suddenly knelt on the ground, his voice choked.

Jing Niang looked at Guo Shao and began to nod.

At this time, Guo Shao suddenly covered his mouth and coughed, his hands trembled, and he fell on the couch. Seeing this, several were in a hurry, and Marigold hurriedly grabbed him, and a gorgeous face suddenly distorted.

Jing Niang rushed up to sit down with an arrow step, stretched out her hand to probe in front of Guo Shao's nose, turned her head and said, "The official family fainted." ”

"Hurry up and call Mrs. Lu!" Marigold said in a trembling voice.

Yang Shiliang got up from the ground, picked up his robe and ran out.

Not long after, Lu Lan entered, she touched Guo Shao's veins, rolled her eyelids to look at Guo Shao's eyes, and said, "The concubine is only shallow in her education, it's really ...... Queen, why don't you summon someone from the Imperial Medical Department to enter the palace for diagnosis and treatment! ”

Marigold felt like she had no strength at all, and her soul was drained. She gritted her teeth, trying to weigh them out of her chaotic mind. Now, I can't hide it for long...... In her heart, Guo Shao is the most important!

Marigold was silent for a while before he said cautiously: "Spread the decree and summon all the imperial doctors to the Long Live Palace!" ”

"Slaves and maids obey the will." Yang Shiliang ran out of the dormitory again.

Looking at Guo Shao, whose eyes were closed, a pair of jade hands clenched into fists, she knew that the sky had fallen, and only she could carry the collapsed sky with her delicate shoulders, and there was no way out. She wished she was a walking corpse, a person without feelings......
