Chapter 23: I Just Want to Protect You (Part II)
The moon is in the sky, and the twilight clouds are sparse. The starry sky at night is like a pitch-black painting paper with white paint splashed on it.
He lay on the bed with his hands on his back, staring blankly at the ceiling.
Yue'er, is it right or wrong for me to do this? My life and death in the future are unpredictable, I have obviously decided not to marry you, but I still can't help but be nice to you.
"Alas......" Yu Wenxuan closed his eyes tightly, but after closing his eyes, Yue'er's shadow became clearer and clearer in his mind.
"Father, mother. What exactly should Xuan'er do? Yu Wenxuan murmured softly, his tone helpless like a child.
She sat in front of the window, a pair of jade hands gently rubbing Bixiao that he handed her today, looking out of the window through the window. Blue diamond-shaped gemstones shimmer faintly in the moonlight.
Brother Xuan said that the name of this sword was Bixiao, and Yue'er turned her eyes to the sword in her hand. The Bixiao Sword is really beautiful.
The long sword was unsheathed, and the sword body reflected Yue'er's delicate face. She looked intently at the patterns on the Bixiao sword, the gems set on the sword, and the engraved word "Xuan......
One bright moon, two lovesickness.
Although they have been separated for many years, nothing seems to have changed when they say goodbye, and even the first words officially spoken after the reunion are not a little rusty. It is said that time and distance are terrible, but in front of the destined fate, it seems so powerless.
She was in danger, and he rushed over to protect her behind him. He had concerns, and she deliberately showed her kung fu to reassure him.
The way he looked at her had not changed, nor had the way she called him.
Time flies, after all these years, when I see you again, what I want to do most is to do my best to protect you.
……
Chang'an, the palace of Rongjun County.
"What! Failed? Yu Wengong tried his best to suppress his anger. The right hand is clenched into a fist, and you can clearly see the white marks formed between the fingers due to excessive force.
Li Shouren took 1,000 soldiers with him at that time, and now less than 30% of them have returned alive, and four of the five generals have also died. These people were all carefully cultivated by Yu Wengong, how could he not be angry with such a heavy loss?
Yuwen Gong is only a county king, and he is not like other brothers who have fiefs, nor is he like Yu Wenxuan who holds military power. The reason why he stayed in the capital was because the emperor valued his views on government affairs, and Yu Wengong's filial piety was also very popular with the emperor, so he asked him to assist Yu Wenduan in the capital. Therefore, Yu Wengong's subordinates are only 3,000 government soldiers and some market figures.
Because the affairs that Yu Wengong is responsible for are biased, most of the people who intersect with him on a daily basis are civil officials. One can imagine how important these thousand soldiers are to him.
"Back to the prince's words." Li Shouren lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Yu Wengong, "We miscalculated in advance, Guangyu Wenxuan brought a thousand light cavalry, and Liuji Country also sent eight hundred elite soldiers to escort the mission. The combat effectiveness of this Black Feather Army is already strong, coupled with the strong martial arts of Yu Wenxuan, Zhang Shaohua and others, we are not opponents at all. ”
"Yu Wenxuan knows the last general, so his subordinates have been hiding in the woods. The subordinates saw that Lao Wu had already grabbed the princess's arm, and he was about to succeed, but suddenly ten black-clothed masked men appeared out of nowhere, and their posture was extremely strange, and they divided Lao Wu's body with one face. Later, Yuwenxuan and the others stabilized their position, and our people really couldn't beat them, so I quickly ordered a retreat. Li Shouren continued.
"The masked man in black?" Yu Wengong became interested in what Li Shouren said.
Could it be Yu Wenxuan's secret army of private reorganization? No, he is a courtier, and with such a sharp weapon, it must not be what the emperor wants to see. Even if you are brothers of the same mother...... Then, was Yuwenduan sent to protect him?
"Yes. Those ten people not only have strange skills, but also have unique skills, and their cooperation is also very tacit, and the last general is sure that with the ability of these people, any of them can be the commander in the Black Feather Army. Li Shouren said.
Yu Wengong walked up to Li Shouren, put his hands behind his back, and snorted coldly: "It seems that I really despise my tenth brother...... Unexpectedly, there were so many talented people gathered around him. ”
"This trip ......" Yu Wengong changed his words and asked coldly, "It's not exposed, right?" ”
Such a tone is as if there is a knife hidden in the words, and Li Shouren naturally wants to say that it has not been exposed. Don't say no, even if it's really exposed, you must find a way to fool the past, who doesn't want to live two more days? How vicious Yu Wengong's methods are, Li Shouren can't understand it better.
Yuwen Gong patted Li Shouren on the shoulder and looked at him playfully: "Go down, I am very dissatisfied with what I did this time, tell the people below about it, don't leak the news, otherwise, the consequences will not be talked about by this king." ”
"No. The subordinate retired. Li Shouren slowly retreated.
"Wait." Yu Wengong screamed.
Two drops of cold sweat slid down Li Shouren's cheeks, and he looked at Yu Wengong tremblingly.
"After my tenth brother comes back, you have to pay more attention, he will definitely report this matter to the emperor, and report any trouble as soon as possible."
"No."
……
After staying in Liangzhou City for five days, he finally waited for the 2,000 reinforcements.
On this day, Yu Wenxuan and his entourage said goodbye to Zhao Guangzhe and re-embarked on the road back to Beijing.
Before leaving, Yu Wenxuan asked Zhao Guangzhe to thoroughly investigate and crack down on all the bandits and bandits in Liangzhou, and report the results to him as soon as possible.
"Brother Xuan." Yue'er completely ignored the gaze of others, stood in front of Yu Wenxuan prettyly, and presented the Bixiao Sword with both hands, "Your sword." ”
"You take it first. I'll give it to me when I get back to Beijing. Yu Wenxuan's tone was normal when he spoke, but the doting and warmth in his eyes seemed to be about to overflow.
Yue'er nodded obediently, smiled at Yu Wenxuan, and then returned to her carriage.
Everyone around him took a deep breath of saliva, and his eyes kept blinking. This Bixiao Sword is the prince's beloved thing, and he usually doesn't even show it to the deputy marshal who has the best relationship with him, how can this ...... That's it for this exotic princess?
Load, let you load. He said he didn't want to marry someone else, but after only a few days, he couldn't hold on? Zhang Shaohua and Tian Shaotu forced a smile and watched the show on the side.
Realizing the abnormality of his partners and subordinates, Yu Wenxuan coughed slightly embarrassedly: "Let's go, let's go, let's go." ”
"Lord Zhao, let's go. Whatever is given to you should be done as soon as possible. Yu Wenxuan said to Zhao Guangzhe after getting on the horse.
"Yes. Your Highness, you have a safe journey. Zhao Guangzhe bowed slightly.
"Congratulations to His Royal Highness King Xi." A group of local officials standing behind Zhao Guangzhe said in unison.
With two more light horsemen pressing the formation, everyone was much more relieved to hit the road again. Yu Wenxuan, Tian Shaotu and Zhang Shaohua are still at the forefront of the team.
