The man in purple, the man in black, Xiang Ying, the commander of the archers and guards, and the man Ling Er, who was lying at the mouth of the cliff, looked at the man in white on the lake in disbelief. The clothes are flying, and the body is chic and handsome, as if the gods have descended to save the fairy whose life is about to fall. These people, whether they were friends or foes, stopped fighting at this moment, and their hearts were not only shocked, but also happy.

Zongzheng hugged the woman in his arms without worry, and returned to the shore, his face was already extremely gloomy. The Nine Emperor Princes gathered around, and when they saw that the white clothes on Manyao's shoulders were stained with black blood, they exclaimed, "Seventh brother, she has been poisoned." ”

Zong Zheng didn't say a word, he carried her and flew on the horse, and as soon as his legs were clamped, the horse raised its hooves and neighed, galloping away, splashing a cloud of flying dust.

The capital, the Iron Guard barracks. In the conference hall, the generals of each battalion were sitting in a precarious position, solemnly discussing the incident of the war horse plague in the Beiyi ** team. Fu Chip sat in the main seat, his hand half-clenched into a fist against his lips, listening to the heated discussion of the generals below, his face was unwavering.

A young lieutenant general said: "This matter must be done by the people of Beiyi Kingdom, we should teach them a good lesson." ”

Another general said: "Their king, queen and crown prince are all our captives, I don't believe they can still turn the sky upside down?" ”

Another general said: "But the problem is that if we don't have war horses, the strength of our army left in Beiyi Kingdom will be at least halved, and if they gather people from all sides, I'm afraid the consequences will be difficult to predict......"

The generals nodded, all in deep agreement. Fu Chip was already silent, his eyes were half-lowered, his gaze was fixed on a certain place in the hall, his thoughts seemed to drift away, and the generals of the battalions continued to discuss.

"The Dustwind Nation is famous for its war horses, and if we can work with them, none of this will be a problem."

"That's right, but who doesn't know that it is even more difficult to buy a war horse from the Dustwind Country than to ascend to the sky...... Huh? By the way, didn't the prince of the Dustwind Country come to choose a wife? As long as the marriage can be successful this time, then it should be an exception, right? ”

"I have heard that this prince has gone through three countries, and the kings of each country have gathered the most beautiful women in the country for him to choose, but none of them can get into his eyes."

……

Seeing that Fu Chip's brows were slightly furrowed, a strategist never spoke, so he called: "General, general?!" ”

Fu Kui came back to his senses, and he was shocked that he had lost his mind during the discussion! I don't know what's going on, I've been restless today, and I can't concentrate on the affairs of the army as usual. He stood up and glanced at the generals, his gaze seemed gentle, but there was a natural momentum that made everyone stop in an instant, and let this young and wise leader of the army make the final decision. Fu Chip said: "Arrange for the army remaining in Beiyi to withdraw to the border. ”

The generals looked at each other, and no one expected him to make such a decision. Someone couldn't help but ask: "General, will we return the Beiyi Kingdom that we worked so hard to take?" ”

Fu Chip glanced at him expressionlessly, his voice was deep, and said, "If you don't do this, how can you draw out their hidden strength?" Remember, withdraw openly and secretly, and use a small team to provoke trouble and let them come out to suppress it. As for the matter of the war horse, Ben will have his own opinions. ”

There was no objection from everyone, and everyone knew that this seemingly gentle general had always been consistent in the army, and no matter how tricky things he faced, he could strategize and solve them easily.

Fu Chip said again: "That's all for today, and other things will be discussed another day." ”

The generals ordered each to return to his camp. Fu Chip asked the people who were waiting beside him, "Hasn't there been any news from Xiang Ying yet?" ”

"Back to the general, no."

Fu Chip's brows furrowed, and at this time, someone outside asked to see him. He said, "Come in." ”

The person saluted and said, "General, there is news from Dongcheng, leaving the king to hurry out of the city on horseback and go in the direction of Qingliang Lake." ”

Fu clenched his fists tightly, his heart was really still on her, so it was fine. "How's the situation at Qingliang Lake?"

The visitor responded: "The ship has sunk, and the lady and the son have gone up the cliff together, and they have been intercepted by the man in black, and the fight is fierce." As the general expected, the man in black in the mask ordered to stay alive, as if he had some scruples. ”

After another tea, when the man came in again, his face was not as calm as before, but with a look of uneasiness, and he knelt on the ground, bowed his head, and did not dare to speak for a long time.

Fu raised his eyebrows and said, "If you have any news, just tell me quickly." ”

The man's head hung lower, hesitated, and said, "General, the Xiang guards didn't catch the man in black with the mask, and the lady she ......."

Fu Chip chuckled in his heart, his face changed immediately, and he said in a deep voice: "What's wrong with Madam?" Say! ”

The man hurriedly said, "Madame was seriously injured and was rescued by the king. I heard that the sword was poisonous, and I don't know if my wife's life is in danger. ”

She's hurt? She's still hurt! Fu Chip's body and mind shook violently, and his face, which had always been calm, finally changed color, and he involuntarily took two steps back, and his heart was pinched with bursts of numbness. A huge air current emanated from all around him, as if it was about to flood the entire barracks. The person kneeling on the ground felt a sense of fear filling his whole heart, and his body kept shaking, and he didn't dare to raise his head.

After a long time, Fu Chip asked in a deep voice, "Where are they now?" ”

"In the direction of the palace."

Away from the palace.

Zongzheng Wuwu used the water of the underground cold pool to expel poison and heal her wounds, treated her wounds, and placed her on the couch that he used to rest on after practicing. He sat beside her, quietly staring at the woman who haunted him, and he had a feeling of a sudden dream.

For more than a year, he has been thinking all the time, if she was willing to turn back and take that step in the dark room, then how happy they would be now? But she didn't, she chose Fu Chip, chose a life without him, leaving him a hollow in the endless expansion and spread in the torrent of years, trapping him in it, never able to escape. The sourness in his heart came up for a while, he lowered his eyes, and gently took her hand, and his slender pale fingers could cause his heart to throb for a while. It's ridiculous that he thought he was a ruthless person, and now he has fallen here for a woman, which is really sad and lamentable.

The Nine Emperor Princes stood quietly aside, he never dared to imagine that his Seventh Brother would have such a gentle expression and such a careful movement. He silently turned and went out, not wanting to disturb them, and when he came to the door, he saw the butler coming in a hurry, and asked, "What is the matter?" ”

"His Royal Highness Qiqi Jiu, the general of the Patriotic State asks to see the prince."

Zongzheng's worry-free body was shocked, so soon? He lowered her hand, looked at her deeply again, and turned to walk out of the cold room.

Outside the gate of the mansion, Fu Chip stood tall in an official robe, seeing that Zongzheng Wuwu's face was gloomy, and the white clothes he had to change into in the future were stained with black blood on his chest, he couldn't help but shrink his eyes, and the fear he had never felt before filled his heart. Calming down, with a gentle expression on his face, he stepped forward and bowed his hand to him, saying with worry and gratitude: "I heard that the king saved the general's wife, and the general is grateful in his heart, and he has come to thank him." ”

Zong Zheng stood on the top of the steps, looking down at him with his eyes lowered, half-squinted, his eyes were extremely sharp, but with an indescribable coldness and complexity. These Fu Chips turned a blind eye, and he looked straight into the eyes of Zongzheng Wuwu who had buried deep pain, and his heart suddenly tightened. Could she ......?

The Nine Emperors shook their hands and said in a very unceremonious tone, "My Seventh Brother didn't save Liyue for the sake of General Fu, so why should General Fu personally come to the door to thank you?" ”

In court or in private, he doesn't like Fu Chip, and it's not a matter of a day or two to go-for-tat with Fu Chip. Fu Chip didn't have the heart to deal with him today, so he only asked Zong Zheng Wuwu: "Can you tell me, my wife...... What is the current situation? His face was calm, seemingly unwavering, but there was obvious worry and nervousness in his voice.

Zongzheng was carefree, and his thin lips pursed lightly, and he couldn't tell what it was like in his heart.

The Nine Emperor Princes sneered, "Don't worry, with my Seventh Brother here, of course Liyue will be fine, but it's just ......"

Fu Chip's heart calmed down a little and asked, "But what?" ”

The Nine Emperor Princes squinted at him and asked, "General Fu, what do you say......?" If my seventh brother hadn't saved her today, what would have happened to her? ”

Fu Chou's heart was shocked, and a sense of fear arose from his heart, he didn't dare to imagine what the consequences would be if Zongzheng Wuwu didn't rush to it today or arrived a little late? He said: "If there is no rescue from the king, I am afraid that the life of Mrs. Ben will be in danger." ”

"Wrong!" The Nine Emperor Princes walked down the steps, circled around Fu Chip, turned his head and said heavily in his ear: "It's not that your life is in danger, it's definitely not your life!" ”

Fu Chip's hand trembled in his sleeve and said, "So Ben will be very grateful for the rescue of the king......

"Stop!" The Nine Emperor Princes cut off his words, raised his lips, smiled brightly, and said, "I think General Fu, you must have made a mistake." My Seventh Brother didn't save your wife at all, the person he saved was Liyue, and your wife, Princess Rongle, had already sunk to the bottom of the lake. So...... From now on, there will be no eldest princess Rongle in this world, and there will be no general's wife, only Liyue, who will become my seventh brother's wife, and has nothing to do with you. General Fu, you ...... Please come back. He took it for granted.

Fu Chip still had a gentle and polite smile on his face, but his eyes were gradually cold, and his voice was already deep, and he said, "His Royal Highness the Ninth is wrong with this!" Whether she's Princess Rongle or Liyue, she's the general's wife. Please leave the king to show the way, and Ben will take her back to the house. ”

Zong Zheng Wuwu hooked the corner of his lips, seemed to smile, raised his eyebrows to look at him, and said proudly: "What if...... What about the king's refusal? ”

Fu Chip raised his voice and said: "Don't forget from the king, she is not only the wife who is marrying the media, she is also the princess of the family, these two identities are known to everyone in the world, and no one can change the facts." ”

Zong Zheng threw off his robe without worry, and sneered: "Do you think that you can scare this king with the relationship between the two countries?" Hum! What is the identity, this king never cares about. ”

Fu Chip said with a smile: "Ben will know that King Liwang doesn't care about this, but that doesn't mean that Rong Le doesn't care either." Presumably Liwang also knows that for more than a year, she and I have lived very happily. I think...... She doesn't want anyone to ruin this peaceful happiness, right? ”

Of course he does! Although she is thousands of miles away in Jiangnan, she knows everything related to her. He once thought that he would just go on like this, whether he was sad or bitter alone, since she had chosen, he would stop. He has his pride! But today's events made it impossible for him to stand idly by.

Zong Zheng looked coldly at Fu Chip's always gentle but secretly sharp eyes, his heart was full of anger, his voice was extremely cold, and said: "This king has always known that you are not a simple character, whether it is in the court or on the battlefield, you are good at forbearance and scheming. This king does not like to think too much about these things, but this king does not care what you are planning, and your people see her in danger today but do not hide, causing her to almost lose her life...... You're disqualified from owning her. ”

Fu Chip's heart was shocked, he lowered his hand, covered his sleeves and clenched tightly, he straightened his waist, looked up at him, and asked rhetorically: "Ben will not be qualified?" Who does the prince think is qualified? Away from the king? If you have the qualifications, then why did you ...... in the first place? She is obviously concerned about you, but she wants to choose to marry Ben Wei's wife? ”

Zong Zhengwu's eyes changed, and he was stabbed in the sore spot by him, and his heart was bitter. He has lived for twenty years, and there has never been anything that makes him face the questioning of others as irrefutablely. He hurt her, and it took him a year to figure out where he hurt her.

Fu Chip saw that his eyes were gloomy and painful, and a trace of happiness flashed in his gentle eyes, and he said: "Even if the general has calculated something, he has never hurt her." Ben will never be like you, leaving her alone to hide in the rain and cry sadly, curled up under someone else's roof and slowly lick her wounds. When he said these words, pain and pleasure rolled in his heart, and they coexisted. He wouldn't tell anyone, in fact, he couldn't break her heart even if he wanted to. How could someone who couldn't get into her heart hurt her heart?

Zong Zhengwu's heart trembled fiercely, and Fu Chip's words and sentences were like sharp blades pointing directly at his vital points, making his heart like a knife, and the pain was unbearable.

The Nine Emperors said angrily: "Fu Chip, don't talk nonsense here. ”

The corners of Fu Chip's gentle mouth were raised slightly almost invisibly, but he didn't look at the Nine Emperor Princes, he only stared at Zongzheng Wuwu, his voice sounded very earnest, and said: "King Liwang should know that Rong Le likes peaceful days. At the wedding a year ago, leaving the king had ruined her reputation and made her miserable, and now she was forced to stay in the palace and spread the word, what would others say? Although she seems strong and calm, no woman can do it without caring about these gossips. If you still have her in your heart, think more about her. Let Ben ...... Take her back. ”

This summer, the sun is scorching, the sun is hot, and the plants and trees are burning. His heart was cut open like this, and he was still shivering cold in the scorching sun. "Leng Yan, take him to the cold room."

"Seventh Brother?!" The Nine Emperor Princes frowned and exclaimed. Zongzheng was carefree, his eyes were silent, and his lips were pale.

"Thank you for leaving the king!" Fu Chip thanked him. Zong Zheng said behind him: "General Fu, one day, you will be like this king...... "Regret not being at the beginning!" He didn't say these four words. In the process of using it, he put his sincerity in it, not only him, but now there is another Fu Chip. Zong Zheng laughed at himself without worry, whether it was him or Fu Chip, no matter how conceited they were, how well they planned and calculated everything, there was such a woman in this world who would not allow them to retreat after their plan succeeded.

Fu Chip's body stiffened, and he understood what the unfinished words meant from Zongzheng's low voice that was implicitly sad. Will there be a day? Perhaps, but even so, he still can't change. So, he said, "Ben will be with the king...... It's not the same. "Anyway, take firm steps and go with the cold flame.

The Nine Emperor Princes hurriedly said, "Seventh Brother, how can you let him take people away like this?" ”

Zong Zheng squinted his eyes without worry, the brilliance in his eyes was gone, and he asked rhetorically: "What if you don't let him take it away?" Won't she go on her own when she wakes up? ”

The Nine Emperor Princes said, "But, but...... Fu Chip took advantage of her. ”

"So what? With her intelligence, do you think she won't know? Zong Zheng was carefree, and the pain in his eyes could not be hidden, and his voice was sad. She and Fu Chip have used each other from the beginning. She would rather be a pawn in someone else's hands than give him one more chance.

The Nine Emperor Princes were stunned, a little puzzled. Seventh Brother took advantage of Liyue, she was so sad, and Fu Chip used her, she knew but didn't care?

When Fu Chip came out with Manyao in his arms, Zongzheng Wuwu and the Nine Emperor Princes were already missing at the door, only a carriage and a groom waiting there. The carriage was comfortable and spacious, and the groom had excellent driving skills, and the journey back to the General's Mansion was very smooth, without any bumps at all. Fu Chip stroked the face of the woman in his arms, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.

The stars are sparse, and the clouds are light. It was destined to be a sleepless night. The subordinates of the General Guard's Mansion walked with their heads down, not daring to make the slightest sound.

Outside the bedroom of Qingjing Garden, kneeling uprightly were the three closest people around the two masters in the house, Xiang Ying, Xiao Xu, and Ling Er. Their backs were straight, their eyes were down, and their minds were different.

When I woke up, it was already the third watch in the night. Fu Chip stood in front of her bed, holding her hand, looking at her with a gaze that was too late to clean up.

"Are you awake? Lie still. Fu Chip stopped her from getting up, turned back to the girl outside the door and ordered, "Come on, go and bring bird's nest porridge." ”

The girl outside the door took the order, and then slowly remembered the events of the day, she raised her hand and looked at it in a daze, as if she saw the scarlet hands in the daytime, and her body shivered. There was a lamp lit in the room, the candles were dim with a light orange color, and a gust of wind blew in through the open window, and the whole room seemed to shake as the light and shadow swayed. She always felt that the things she saw in front of her were full of bright red blood, and when she moved slightly, a sharp pain in her shoulder hit her, indicating that she was still alive. She closed her eyes, took a breath, and a white figure walking on waves appeared in her mind, and said in a weak voice: "General, how did I come back?" Is that boy okay? What about Ling'er? Why can't you see her? ”

Fu Chip was slightly shocked, with a gentle smile on his face, and answered her questions one by one, saying, "I took you home." The boy had some minor injuries and was fine. Ling Er and Xiang Ying were not effective, and they were kneeling outside the door with Xiao Xu. ”

Man Yao frowned and said, "Ling'er is injured, let her get up." Ling'er, Ling'er-" She couldn't wait for Fu Chip to call, so she propped herself up and screamed loudly.

Fu Chip hurriedly helped her and comforted: "Don't worry, her injuries are not serious, they have already been bandaged." As she spoke, Ling'er had already entered the house, her eyes were red, and she knelt down straight in front of the bed, and tears flowed down. Master, it's all Ling'er's fault, it's Ling'er's playfulness...... It was only then that the master was almost harmed, and he almost ......" she choked up and couldn't continue, so she kowtowed to Manyao.

"Get up, I don't blame you." ”

Ling'er knelt stubbornly, refusing to get up, helpless, and sighed: "Okay, let you get up, heal your injuries quickly, I still expect you to serve me." I'm not used to other people. ”

When Ling'er heard this, she burst into tears and smiled, and wiped her tears happily.

When the porridge came, Fu Chip helped her sit up, and she said, "General, let Xiang Ying get up too." It's late, you go back to sleep, it's good to have Ling'er with me. Her expression was faint, her smile was detached, Fu Chip's hand stiffened, she glanced away, didn't say anything, and left with Xiang Ying.

watched his back leave, with an uncertain look in his eyes and a cold smile on the corner of his mouth.

When she finished her porridge, she leaned against the wall and sat quietly for a while, as if she was thinking about something, but she didn't seem to think about anything.

Ling'er said: "Master, I'll help you lie down and rest." ”

Man Yao shook his head slightly, pursed his lips, frowned, looked at Ling'er's eyes, and still asked: "Ling'er, ...... today." Who saved me? ”

Ling Er was stunned for a moment, lowered her head, thought about it, and responded: "Yes...... Leave the king. ”

There are thousands of red faces and white pains
