Chapter 162: Crisis

Sure enough, as Li Yi expected.

Back then, Feng's daughters were all in high places, rampant with the harem, how could they tolerate Concubine Yue's favor? !

They bribed the palace people in charge of transporting the food to the palaces in the imperial dining room, and asked them to apply the toxin to their fingertips, and when the dishes were served, they quietly added them to Concubine Yue's favorite meals.

Sima Run is a decent person, has a rigorous personality, and has outstanding cooking skills, Concubine Yue knows this very well, so she will eat with confidence only when Sima Imperial Chef does it.

I never thought that even if Sima Run was cautious, he couldn't compete with someone who had the audacity to poison in front of everyone!

The Feng family was wiped out, and the great feud of the Sima family had been avenged, Ming Ze came to the real grave of his father's family, and burned incense to worship each other with tears!

A few days later, the group said goodbye to each other in tears and went their separate ways!

Ming Ze turned around and returned to the highest restaurant to assist the master of the Liu Mansion in handling the work that should have belonged to Xiaoguo.

Nuan'er followed the queen mother and Ruoyu to the Drum Room Country to see the emperor's father!

Xiaoguo originally planned to go to meet Nuan'er's father first, send Mingze back to Zhu Danguo, and then go to Caiyun Country to choose a house and pick up his father-in-law.

But at this time, Hong Yanguo sent urgent news and recruited Li Yi to return to China immediately.

Xiaoguo thought twice, but had to change his mind and chose to return to Hong Yanguo with Li Yi.

It was late at night, and Emperor Panheng was still reading the folds with candles.

A father-in-law with gray sideburns walked into the imperial study with a cup of ginseng tea and gently placed it on the side of the desk: "Your Majesty, drink a cup of hot tea to warm up your body and take a rest!" ”

When Emperor Panheng heard this, he glanced up at him and said, "King Ding, they have already left the city?" ”

The father-in-law bowed down and said, "Back to Your Majesty, King Ding and his wife have already been out of the customs at noon today!" ”

Emperor Panheng nodded, took a sip of ginseng tea, and suddenly said, "Uncle Wu, am I wrong?" ”

Gonggong Wu, who was standing beside him, was stunned at first, and then said sincerely and respectfully: "Your Majesty is a person in the world, and has endured humiliation for so many years. ”

Emperor Panheng is nearly half a hundred years old, his hair is vaguely a little pale, his expression is a little lonely, suddenly, put down the teacup in his hand, and sighed: "But even so, Yue'er she will not come back to life!" ”

Gonggong Wu's face changed slightly, and after a while, he pondered and persuaded: "Concubine Yue knows Your Majesty's mind the most, if she knows that your long-cherished wish has been fulfilled for many years, she will definitely smile at Jiuquan!" ”

Emperor Panheng's eyes were unpredictable, staring at him deeply for a while, then he suddenly retracted his gaze, got up and said: "Set up the Yuexin Palace, I want to go to worship Concubine Yue, tell her that the great revenge has been avenged, just wait for the end of my mission with peace of mind, and then go to meet!" ”

Concubine Yue's death is a thorn in the heart of Emperor Panheng, and it is the lifeline of Emperor Panheng.

As soon as the pressure on Wu's father-in-law disappeared, he didn't care about wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, and hurriedly went out to arrange the chariot.

Let's say, Xiaoguo and Li Yi took another shortcut all the way and went up the north.

Li Yi had already told Xiaoguo about Guo Jing and Guo Xiaoyang.

Knowing that her father and sister cared so much about her, Xiaoguo was grateful and ashamed.

"Where do they live at this time?" Xiaoguo asked with red eyes.

Li Yi put the peeled chestnuts in her palm and said, "Xiaoyang's current identity is the young lady of the He family, so naturally she wants to live in the He family!" ”

Xiaoguo became more and more guilty: "A few days before she got married, I went to He's Qianzhuang and received a pair of puppets from their Qianzhuang!" Ay! I never thought that the bride was my own sister! ”

Li Yi gently hugged her shoulders and comforted: "You can't be blamed for this, when I rushed to He's house and saw Xiaoyang, I was also shocked!" ”

Xiaoguo was in a slightly relaxed mood, squinted at him, and said angrily: "No one asked you to inquire clearly, so I ran over recklessly!" ”

Li Yi looked back at Xiaoguo with his eyes and said, "No, I heard that a certain runaway little bastard is going to get married, don't say that his brain is confused and he has lost his mind, and he doesn't even think it matters whether he is alive or dead!" ”

Xiaoguo stretched out his arms and hugged Li Yi's waist back, and said emotionally: "My father-in-law told me that the dangers of the sea route in this world, next time don't be in danger alone, if you have three long and two short, what should I do?" ”

Li Yi smelled the fragrance of flowers in her hair and chuckled, "How can there be a next time?" I'm going to keep a firm eye on you, and I won't let you take half a step out of my sight! ”

Xiaoguo raised his head and said, "If you want to be good to me, I will stay; If not, I'll run away! ”

"Am I not treating you well enough now?" Li Yi said with a smile.

Xiaoguo thought seriously for a while and said, "Barely passing!" But don't men always chase girls and abandon them? Can you promise that you will always treat me as before? ”

Li Yi surrendered: "Okay! I promise to treat you well, so good that you get tired of it, and make you reluctant to leave me for a while, okay? ”

Xiaoguo nodded with satisfaction and re-said, "It's pretty much the same!" ”

Li Yi hugged her soft body, satisfied, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

The two of them only took a shortcut on this trip, completely ignoring whether they passed through the town or not, and rushed all the way day and night, and only took a short rest when they were tired.

With Li Yi and the two spirit beasts by his side, even if he was in the tiger's den in Longtan, Xiaoguo was still very down-to-earth in his heart, and he didn't worry about his safety at all.

After a few more days, the two stayed in a maple forest.

It was late at night, under the maple trees.

Li Yi used the cloak on his body to cover Xiaoguo's whole body: "Sleep!" I'll have to go back tomorrow morning. ”

Xiaoguo smelled the good smell of green on his body, and said unwillingly: "Yi, we have been walking on the deserted mountain road for the past few days, and my body has already smelled dirty, why do you still smell so good?" ”

Li Yi was surprised: "I don't like lavender clothes, is it possible that there is any smell on my body?" ”

Xiaoguo was also surprised: "Isn't it the taste of spices?" ”

She sniffed deeply a few times and said, "It's refreshing, like the smell of grass after the rain!" ”

Li Yi frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "Could it be the smell of herbs remaining in the body!" ”

saw Xiaoguo look up from the hem of his clothes and look at him suspiciously with bright eyes.

Li Yi said: "When I was a child, my physical condition was very bad, and I was constantly sick and sick, and every time I got sick, I almost took half my life. For almost half of the year, I deal with herbs, soaking in the medicine tank all day long, presumably those herbs have dissolved in the body's muscles, bones and blood! ”

Xiaoguo was surprised: "There is still such a thing?" ”

She reached out and pinched Li Yi's arm, the texture was clear, strong and powerful, how could there be any signs of weakness, and she couldn't help but pity: "You must have suffered a lot in order to practice when you were a child, right?" ”

Li Yi chuckled and said, "Bitterness is naturally to be eaten. It's just that I like to practice, and since I was sensible, I have been looking forward to getting rid of the bitter decoction, and when I practice, I don't feel how bitter it is! ”

Xiaoguo gently hugged his waist and said softly: "Well, fortunately, everything is over!" ”

Li Yi saw that she felt sorry for herself, and suddenly felt that the days of being with the decoction had become better, and even the bitter taste of the herbs in his memory became sweet, and he hugged the person in his arms and pursed his lips with a smile "En".

After a while, Li Yi said again: "The muddy chicken we ate for dinner tastes good!" ”

Xiaoguo was about to fall asleep, and when he heard his words, he said in a daze: "It's called flower chicken, you love to eat, next time I'll make it for you to eat......"

Her voice decreased, followed by a faint snoring.

Called Flower Chicken?

Li Yi smiled helplessly, he carefully circled the cloak again, firmly protected Xiaoguo, and laughed in a low voice: "Heartless girl." ”

The person under his forehead was already sleeping soundly, and the corners of Li Yi's mouth were slightly raised, and he also closed his eyes.

Not far from them, cats and foxes curled up in a ball, crawling on the back of the wind, half-squinted, looking around vigilantly, guarding the safety of their masters.

In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed, and there are still hundreds of miles away from Hong Yanguo.

Xiaoguo and Li Yi stayed in an inn.

In the middle of the night, there were a few eagle cries faintly heard in the air, and the sleeping Li Yi suddenly opened his eyes.

He got up and walked to the window, pushed it open, put his hands to his lips, and in a few moments a half-sized black shadow flew into the window and landed in the crook of his arm.

Li Yi gently stroked its wings, took some nuts from the table to eat with it, and then took off the note tied to its leg and took it to the lamp to watch.

After reading the contents of the paper, his face changed slightly, and after a moment's thought, he put the note into the candle flame until it burned to ashes.

He frowned and thought for a while, found out that the fruit was convenient for him to carry, made a charcoal pen for him, wrote a reply, and tied it back to the eagle's leg.

The shadow hovered in front of the window a few times, as if to say goodbye to him, and then spread its wings and rushed into the sky, disappearing into the darkness.

The next day, Xiaoguo saw that his expression was different, and couldn't help asking, "But you didn't sleep well last night?" ”

Li Yi shook his head and said: "I received news from China that the border has not been very safe recently. Ah Han sent some men and horses over, but they were all captured by the other party, in order to appease the army, he personally led his troops to go yesterday! ”

Xiaoguo had already learned about Liu Han from Li Yi's mouth, and he had already heard of his skills.

Seeing Li Yi's worried face, Xiao Guo comforted: "General Liu's martial arts are strong and proficient in strategy, I believe that he will be able to return triumphantly!" ”

Li Yi sighed: "Ah Han's ability, I am naturally very relieved. It's just that the generals who came out of the station before, the subordinates I personally cultivated before, although they can't be said to be invincible, they are by no means vulnerable mediocrity! A small tribe that is attached to another country and lives actually let Hong Yan's thousands of fierce generals disappear from the battlefield and surrender without a fight? This matter is too strange, I am afraid that there are other powerful countries behind it, and the other party must still have a back-up move! Ah Han, who also suspected this, also flew over and asked me to return to Bian Yang as soon as possible! ”

Xiao Guo's heart tightened, knowing what he meant, this was probably the enemy's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, and its real target was Li Bai, the little emperor in the imperial city!

Hong Yan was defeated in the first battle, the enemy army took advantage of the victory to break through the city gate, entered the city to rob money and burn houses, and did all kinds of evil, the people of Chengguan were miserable, and fled inland.

Rumors are spreading, everyone is panicking, there is chaos in the army, Liu Han is the most general, and he is bound to fight in person to stabilize the army's heart!

If Li Yi was guarding the imperial city of Bian Yang at this time, it would not matter, but the key is that he was not in Hong Yanguo at this time!

He hasn't shown up for more than a year, and gossip has long been rampant, bluntly saying that the king is seriously ill and has already died!
