Chapter 61 The Fierce War in the Northern Border City, the Temples and the Clouds of the World Change (22)
(Second update.) )
After the end of the war, calculating the time, Li Congjing was shocked to find that four months had passed quietly.
The reason why it is "shocked" is because it also means that it has been at least three months since Mo Li, Tao Yaoyao and Da Ming An stepped into the Bohai Kingdom. What is the situation in the Bohai Kingdom, Li Congjing has never seen it in person, so it is difficult to say, but there are some things that he does not personally see, and he may not be able to know his face. As far as Li Congjing is concerned, he knows that the Bohai Kingdom has died in the past few years, "people will die by themselves, and future generations will die", since the Bohai Kingdom is about to die, it can be seen that the country must be an apocalyptic scene.
What is the apocalyptic vision? As far as the country is concerned, the government is dark, the government is corrupt, the rewards and punishments are unclear, the villain is in charge, and the internal friction is serious, which is the indispensable meaning. With this internal worry and the Khitan as an external trouble, the situation in the Bohai State can be seen from this. In such a situation, Mo Li and Tao Yaoyao want to help Da Ming'an be the master of Zhongxing, how difficult it is, and because the Khitan is on the side, the national war is imminent, Da Ming'an has to use extraordinary means in order to break the situation in a short period of time, and how dangerous his situation should be.
Now that March has passed, it is expected that the struggle has reached a fierce time, how can Li Congjing not worry about Mo Li and Tao Yaoyao?
Worried, Li Congjing couldn't help but call the fifth girl and asked her to tell her the news of Bohai Kingdom to herself.
Mo Li, not to mention that he and Li Congjing have a very close relationship since childhood, the two have the same heart, he not only has military strategy, but also political talent, is Li Congjing's right-hand man, the construction of the Hundred Battles Army and local military and political affairs, if there is no Mo Li for him to give advice, check and fill in the gaps, and practice, Li Congjing is difficult to deal with. Li Congjing can not save the Bohai Kingdom and die, nor can he lose it. What is particularly rare is that he, Meng Ping, Zhang Ziyun, etc., are people that Li Congjing can almost completely and unconditionally trust.
Not to mention the importance of the peach. Intellectually, as a woman who can conspire with great things, she has almost all the advantages of a woman, but she does not have the natural defects of a woman; Emotionally speaking, Li Congjing didn't want him to have any accidents.
After reporting the specially sorted information to Li Congjing, the fifth girl puffed up her powder, let out a long breath, and quickly added dry cherry lips to her little tongue, and concluded: "To sum up, Mr. Mo and Sister Tao have almost figured out the situation in the Bohai Kingdom, and they are also well aware of several powerful forces. ”
The current situation in Bohai, because of Mo Li and Tao Yaoyao's actions to help Daming'an take power, is already full of mountains and rains, and Li Congjing can also imagine the treacherous clouds and waves in it without being there.
"I hope that Sister Tao and Mr. Mo can succeed immediately." After speaking, the fifth sighed.
"I hope that these two words are useless, and if there is hope, I should act for it, so that things will go in the direction I want, how can I say 'I wish'?" Li Congjing said with a smile, and he had already begun to plan carefully in his heart, "The situation is like this, I should help him." ”
"That's what the marshal said!" The fifth girl nodded her head to indicate that she was taught, and blinked her eyes full of hope, "How can you help?" ”
Li Congjing pondered for a while, and muttered: "I need to go back to Youzhou and make arrangements." ”
Youzhou is the base camp of the borderland, and the concentration of Youyun's power is naturally not comparable to ordinary places.
On the way home, Li Congjing still let Li Shaocheng and Li Yanchao lead the army on the right way, and he brought 100 guards composed of gentlemen and sharp soldiers of the military intelligence department to inspect the military and political situation in various places along the way.
On the way, Li Congjing suddenly felt strange one day, and suddenly felt that some things seemed to be very abnormal and were developing in a strange direction, which made him feel bad. I pondered the source, but I couldn't get it for a few days, and I was very surprised.
On this day, Li Congjing happened to see Yelu Min at the end of the line, and he was shocked to realize the source of the incident. Yelumin's expression was quite haggard, his sideburns were no longer neat, his eyes were staring blankly at the ground, and he was silent, like a lonely autumn leaf, floating in a no-man's corner.
Since beating Yelu Min and following Li Congjing to escape from the Khitan, she has been appearing in front of Li Congjing in a different way, noisy and noisy like a madman, but in Yingzhou, especially after leaving Bianguan, she has not taken the initiative to harass Li Congjing.
Li Congjing is a delicate person, he didn't find that the other party was abnormally good, and after discovering it, he became more and more clearly aware of Yelumin's sadness and loneliness. In all fairness, Li Congjing does not have a good impression of the Khitan, whether in his previous life or in this life, although Yelu Min has never hurt the Han people or said bad words, but Li Congjing has always treated her as an ordinary person, without half other feelings.
The fifth girl noticed Li Congjing's eyes looking at Yelumin, pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Speaking of which, she is also a hard-working person, I really don't know why she left the Khitan." ”
"The pursuit of freedom always comes at a price, let alone in troubled times." Li Congjing's mood was not too high, and her voice was slightly low, "I just don't know if the freedom she wants now." ”
The fifth girl sighed and said: "When the Japanese commander Qianqi stopped the Khitan 50,000 army alone, and the conversation with Yelubei in front of the battle was deadlocked, if she hadn't spoken out in time to resolve the stiff atmosphere, I can't say what would have happened later." Honestly, she helped us a lot. ”
"Helped us a lot......" Li Congjing chewed on this sentence, and suddenly found that since she met Yelu Min, putting aside the other party's Khitan identity, she had indeed helped herself a lot. When they first met, they were willing to gamble and lose, so Du Qianshu made amends to Xiao'er, and when they saw each other again, they even wanted to protect the trading company in front of the Khitan army, and when they traveled west, they helped Li Congjing persuade Yelubei, and they resolved the hostility for him and Yelubei in front of the two armies before...... The fifth girl didn't talk about this, Li Congjing didn't think it yet, and after thinking about it, it seemed that she didn't fulfill her promise to take care of Yelu Min after "receiving favors".
Li Congjing shook his head and dispelled these thoughts.
On that day, the brigade camped in the wilderness, and Yelumin sat alone under an old tree outside the camp, with his knees folded and his head on his knees, and sat for a long time.
After Li Congjing saw Yelumin's figure, he twisted two wine bags, walked out of the camp and sat down beside her, handed her one, and said with a smile: "The north wind is cold, warm your body, if you feel homesick, you can also dispel a few points." ”
Ye Lumin raised his head, his eyes were misty on his emaciated face, and after a while, he was a little clear, and he smiled, as if he contained countless emotions and words, and there was no sadness, "I have long wanted to ask you for a pot of wine, but I have been thinking about it for a long time, and I am afraid that you will be annoyed by me, so I dare not tell you." ”
Li Congjing's heart twitched slightly, but there was no difference on his face, he raised his bag and signaled, and after taking a sip with Yelu Min, his voice became softer and softer, "You used to play in front of me before, although I have had many times to drive you away, but I am not bored, but I have been busy with the war recently, and I am really flawless." As the commander-in-chief, shouldering the lives of the officers and men of the three armies, I can't help but use every moment to think about and perfect the conquest. He is not a person who likes to explain anything, so he stopped nagging and smiled, "Actually, every time you come, it is laughter, but it can relieve my fatigue." ”
Ye Lu Min wiped the wine from his mouth, his eyes suspicious, "Really? ”
Li Congjing leaned his head against the trunk of the tree, looked up at the sky, and his voice was slightly hoarse, "Leaving your hometown, alone in another country, and there is no one you know each other around, how can your heart not be desolate?" I'm probably your only friend, I'm half-baked. You are a daughter, enduring the pain of the march, following me, appearing in front of me every time, smiling at each other, don't you just want to prove to yourself that you are not alone? It's a pity that I was too negligent some time ago......"
Ye Lu Min bit her lip tightly, and she heard Li Congjing say again: "In fact, everyone who is more crazy is often more lonely than ordinary people when they are lonely. Hearing this, tears began to roll in her eyes. If nothing else, there are still people who can understand themselves.
Li Congjing smiled again, his smile was gentle, and he touched Ye Lumin's wine bag, "I didn't tell you before, although you are a princess, you really don't have a princess disease, and you get along very well." You've helped me so much, and I'm going to thank you in the future, so don't think about it! ”
Yelu Min was stunned for a long time, feeling something slip off her face, she took a few sips of wine, trying to hide something, but this move failed to suppress the churning in her heart, but instead made her choke on the spirits. She threw away her wine bag and bent over and coughed violently, her whole body trembling.
Li Congjing smiled, "Your Royal Highness the Princess, you don't have to be like this......" Before he finished speaking, Yelu Min had already pounced, hugged him, and sobbed his shoulder.
The beauty is in her arms, warm and fragrant nephrite, but Li Congjing has no trace of evil thoughts, hesitates for a moment, gently hugs Yelumin's trembling shoulders, and says: "If you want to cry, cry happily, you can be more comfortable after crying." ”
Immediately, there was a pain in his shoulder, but it was Yelu Min who bit his shoulder.
Hugging Ye Lumin lightly, Li Congjing looked into the distance, and the mountains were like a curtain at night.
Although Yehelmin is a princess, she will be used as a tool and a relative when she becomes an adult, and her pain and struggle are useless, and she even thinks of dying. Forced to flee the Khitan, but entered the "enemy camp", in the past few days, seeing countless clansmen die at the hands of Li Congjing, the "enemy", she is not hard-hearted, how can she not be moved. Even her closest brother was killed by Li Congjing without face. At this time, how can she not be in a complicated mood?
However, state affairs are not up to her, she is just a woman. She has no national enmity in her heart, no irreconcilable distinction between friend and foe, and some are just a yearning for freedom.
Under the starry sky, Li Congjing smiled at the mountains and forests near and far.
are all sons and daughters of troubled times, there are too many bodies that can't help themselves, if there is no blood and hatred, why should helpless people be embarrassed by helpless people?
A few days later, Li Congjing met a person he didn't expect.
