Snow.

At this moment, Kyoto is completely covered in snow. The white snowflakes on the road seem pure, but when you step on them, they will also trap you in them.

However, their enthusiasm is not so high, unlike a swamp, one or two back and forth, they give up on you who want to leave, and then quietly wait for the arrival of the next one.

There is no weakening trend, and for half an hour, it is still falling into its own figure.

And here, Lao Ling, who knelt on one knee in the courtyard and told Sima Han about the battle situation, has almost become a snowman.

"Your Highness, you failed to complete your mission and let your son fall into it, and please punish Your Highness." Because Zhang Hua did not have a title, in front of Sima Han, Lao Ling was still commensurate with his son as usual.

"Where is Zhang Hua now?" Sima Han frowned and said, to be honest, Zhang Hua fell into the hands of Nanqing, and Sima Han had already guessed about it.

Originally, Sima Han had his own plan for the prison robbery, and because of Zhang Hua's identity, Sima Han didn't want Zhang Hua to go.

can't bear it, Zhang Hua is also a donkey temper, once he starts to attack, he can also be angry to death, there is no way Sima Han can only agree, and send Lao Ling to lead three hundred good hands to support.

But now, after seeing that only Lao Ling came back alone, her mood gradually became heavy.

"Your Highness, when Childe saw that the situation was wrong, he asked the lowly to come back and ask you for help, and then, after the lowly fled the battlefield, he hid aside and watched the next move.

The man who led the Imperial Forest Army was Tang Ning, who sent men to imprison the brothers in the Punishment Department, while he took his son into the carriage and left for the east.

If I'm not mistaken, Childe should be in the palace now. ”

Lao Ling said tremblingly, he escaped alone, although he said that this is the meaning of Zhang Hua, but Zhang Hua and Sima Han are completely two ways to deal with it.

Zhang Hua will judge your right or wrong according to the specific process, but Sima Han only looks at the results, this is the case when he was a child, he hasn't seen him for more than ten years, Lao Ling doesn't know what kind of changes Sima Han has made.

However, after seeing Sima Han's current status under one person and above ten thousand people, Lao Ling didn't need to ask, she also understood that she would only become more aggressive and would not become tolerant.

"I see, get up." Sima Han said coldly, and after Lao Ling heard Sima Han's cold voice, he hesitated for a moment, and then stood up.

"Lao Ling." At this time, Sima Han opened his mouth according to Zhang Hua's address to Lao Ling, and Lao Ling raised his head slightly: "You are from Tianwailou, you grew up in it since you were a child, and then you continue to make contributions to my Northern Jin Dynasty, and at the same time you are loyal to your father. ”

Lao Ling didn't know what Sima Han wanted to say, but, in short, he had a bad premonition in his heart, so he didn't come and continued to listen

"For most of your life, it can be said that you have been stormy, especially in order to protect my imperial brother, and you did not hesitate to leave the women and children in the family, and came to Nanqing alone to take care of my imperial brother with Zhang Tianhao.

Your kindness to my imperial brother and the entire Sima family, I, Sima Han, have all in mind, but... People can't always eat their old books, right? ”

After Lao Ling heard Sima Han's words, he immediately knelt down without the slightest hesitation.

After Sima Han saw it, she didn't say anything too much, she glanced at the heavy snow that was still falling, and she continued: "People in the world often say that merit and demerit are offset by merit, this sentence is not reasonable, and even, this is also something in the emperor's art,

However, it is not easy for me to do so. ”

"Admit your mistakes in humble duties, please punish Your Highness!" Lao Ling knelt down and said at this time, but Sima Han shook his head and smiled: "No need, this time I will break my own rules and forgive you once."

But there was no second time, I wanted you to know. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness,"

"Get up." Sima Han said lightly, and at this time, Lao Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief, but then tensed up again

"Now, I have one thing for you to do."

After Lao Ling heard this, he looked at Sima Han and immediately said: "The humble duty must be completed, if it fails, it will be decided by itself!" ”

"Hmm." Regarding Lao Ling's attitude, Sima Han nodded with satisfaction, but Lao Ling kept panicking in his heart, because he knew that if he didn't complete Sima Han's task this time, then his ending would really be what he said.

"Ten miles north of Kyoto City, there is a village, where there are armor-piercing crossbows that I prepared for King Zhao, a total of one hundred and thirty-five pieces, you can retrieve them all."

"Yes, Your Highness," as if guessing what Sima Han was going to do next, Lao Ling's heart burned and he left immediately.

"Someone." Sima Han said lightly, and immediately, another subordinate came to her

"Tell King Zhao to get ready, and I will take the throne for him tonight, and at the same time, gather our men, all of them will wear armor-piercing crossbows for a while, and after they are fully armed, they will obey my orders."

"Yes, Your Highness." The subordinates immediately left and began to do things according to Sima Han's requirements.

At this time, Sima Han let out a long breath, thinking back to the past few months when she came to Kyoto, she couldn't help but think of when she left the Northern Jin Dynasty.

……

"Father, my daughter is going to pick up my younger brother back." Sima Han said to his father Sima Yan.

After hearing this, the Northern Jin Emperor Sima Yu nodded with a heavy heart: "You must know that your younger brother has been living in Nanqing for more than ten years, I am afraid that he has long forgotten the past,"

"Father doesn't need to worry. My daughter is going to bring him back anyway and reunite us as a family. ”

After Sima Yan heard this, he smiled bitterly, looked at Sima Han, and continued to speak

"I know that taking your brother back is your life's long-cherished wish, and I won't stop you, but you must always remember that you must be extremely careful this time and never reveal your identity.

Before, Nanqing's King Zhao, you can use it a little, but you can't fuel his ambition too much, the people of the heavenly family, whether it is my Sima family or his Yang family, their essence is the same, they are a group of wolves that can't be fed!

Don't feed too much at one time, otherwise next time, it is very likely that because of the lack of food, and bite you back, you have to remember that everything must be in your own hands, you can give others a taste of sweetness, but to ensure that the maximum profit is always yourself. The small details that keep winning, as long as this is the case, then the end of the immortal will not be able to be powerless. ”

……

"All along, my original intention was the same, which was to reunite as a family, and for that, I could use all the people available."

Sima Han muttered at this time, her eyes closed, as if she was making final adjustments and preparations.

"The Imperial Brother has been away from us for too long for me to accept, and even if he is now imprisoned in the Imperial Palace, then I will do everything I can to take him back.

Armor-piercing crossbows, King Zhao's men and horses, news of Wang Ren... I have all the details. In that case..."

Sima Han opened his eyes, and there was a fine light in his eyes that could not be looked at directly, and at the same time, the pressure emitted by the whole person made people feel depressed.

"So let's get started!
