Chapter 20 The Coming Storm
The afterglow of the setting sun shines through the green shade in the gazebo, and the beautiful face blends with the sunset, warm, red, and looks dreamlike and charming.
Ye Gucheng reluctantly withdrew his gaze, slowly walked to the piano case, and said softly: "This is the Feng Wuqin, it is said to be the best piano in the kingdom, it took her husband months to find it, lady, how about giving it to you for her husband just learned a new song?"
Li Yueli laughed at herself, turned around and saluted: "The concubine has been sealed for a long time, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint the commander!"
Ye Gucheng's smile suddenly froze on his face, and after a long time, he sighed lightly: "It's been so long, are you still unwilling to forgive me?"
"The concubine doesn't dare to blame the commander, the commander is too careful!"
"Commander-in-Chief, Commander-in-Chief. Ye Gucheng was angry and roared: "In your heart, am I just a commander?
"The etiquette of the monarch and the minister, the concubine dare not forget. Li Yueli faced the anger and saluted as usual.
"Li Yueli. β
"If the commander has nothing else to do, the concubines will retire first. β
Ye Gucheng saw that Li Yueli was really leaving, and he was completely out of control and shouted: "You stay for me, today, you have to learn, if you don't want to learn, you have to learn." β
Li Yueli's delicate body stiffened, and she slowly turned around and saluted: "The concubine obeys the order." β
Ye Gucheng stared at his indifferent face, pain flashed in the depths of his eyes, his clenched fists gradually stretched out, his ten fingers flicked, and the beautiful and clear piano sound quickly swung.
The wind winds around the thoughts
Pestering me to meet you
Turning into rain falls on the strings
Playing nostalgia can't make my promise
Dreams cut through time
Run through the tips of your gentle hair
Kissed me lightly on the eyebrows
Over the millennium, you won't be able to see it
Never thought of standing on top of the clouds
I just want to be with you for the rest of my life
The fireworks on the horizon are gorgeous
I can't beat you and smile at me
Dreams cut through time
Run through the tips of your gentle hair
Kissed me lightly on the eyebrows
Over the millennium, you won't be able to see it
Never thought of standing on top of the clouds
I just want to be with you for the rest of my life
The fireworks on the horizon are gorgeous
I can't beat you and smile at me
Actually, I've been hiding in the clouds
If you are a spring breeze, my heart is fluttering
Not near, not far silently by your side
Accompany you in the twilight dynasty to protect you
γγγγγγ
Ye Gucheng didn't want to cry, let alone let people see him crying, but when his line of sight was in a straight line with Li Yueli, the tears still slipped silently.
Ye Gucheng is still like this, how can Li Yueli be better! Her heart hurts! It hurts! Because she knows that this piece was not composed for her.
Li Yueli couldn't help but stagger her gaze and sighed lightly: "This is the best song the concubine has ever heard, what's the name?"
"Clouds that don't rain!" is my favorite song written by a great singer in my hometown!"
It wasn't actually made by the husband!
Li Yueli was quite surprised, was silent for a while, and said softly: "She must love to listen, right?"
Ye Gucheng was silent! I don't know when he started, in the face of his beloved woman, he was silent more and more!
Li Yueli obviously knew the answer, smiled sadly, and saluted: "Please forgive the commander, the concubine is unwell and can't continue to serve, so she will retire first." β
"Lady!" Ye Gucheng stared at the back of the stopped, and said in despair: "Can't you feel it? Why do you do this to me?"
"Because, in your heart, your real lady has never been me Li Yueli!" Li Yueli slipped away with tears in her eyes.
Bang!!
In the muffled sound, Feng Wuqin was torn apart.
In the gazebo, the isolated figure is lonely.
The antique auction was in full swing, and the antiques participating in the auction were not only from the palace, but also from the palaces of the courtiers! The rich lords and tycoons from all over the kingdom received invitations one after another, and they were overjoyed to plan to enter the capital.
Prime Minister's House.
The door of the study was closed, and the guards retreated three meters away, and an unusual atmosphere slowly flowed.
In the study, two figures stood up, one in front of the other and one behind, with solemn expressions.
"Xiangguo, how should the kingdom be?"
"But who else knows about this except you?" Zhang Yi's eyes looked a little strange.
"His subordinates received the military report, and the six gods and masters hurriedly consulted with Xiangguo, but they have not yet informed others. The cabinet minister hurriedly saluted.
"Then this military report, has anyone else taken over it besides you?"
"No, Your Majesty is the first to open the seal. β
"Very good!" Zhang Yi was sure and shouted: "Someone." β
The guards quickly entered.
When the cabinet ministers saw this situation, their faces changed.
"Lord Li, I'm offended!" Zhang Yi's eyes were cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Please go to the side room to rest, without an order, you can't step out of the way." β
"Zhang Yi, what do you want? Privately imprisoning a courtier, this is a big crime. The Cabinet Minister was in a hurry.
"Hold it down. β
"Zhang Yi, if you dare to commit treason, the commander will definitely not let you go. The cabinet minister, escorted by the government guard, scolded angrily.
Palace.
Ye Gucheng paced back and forth a few steps, and said in a deep voice: "Can this matter be verified?"
"Returning to the commander-in-chief, although there is no verification, the minister thinks that General Xuanyuan's guess is not far from eight, and the enemy army is very likely to disguise itself as our army and approach the royal capital. Zhang Yi said with a worried face: "Now, the minister is more worried that the enemy army may have a detailed work hidden in the royal capital. β
"It's not possible, it's certain. Ye Gucheng flashed coldly, and said coldly: "If you don't know that the royal capital is empty, Tuoba will never dare to commit the capital alone." β
"The courtiers are also worried about this, if any of the courtiers are carefully bribed, at that time, there will be turmoil within the royal capital, and the inside should be combined with the outside, just afraid... β
"Zhang Yi, you did a good job!" Ye Gucheng was still very satisfied with Zhang Yi's emergency response ability.
Zhang Yi was not happy and worried, and said in a deep voice: "Commander, according to the itinerary, if the enemy army takes a shortcut, the troops will come to the royal capital in these two days, although there are thousands of defenders in the Chuanjun military camp, but most of them are new recruits, and they have no combat experience, do you summon Huang Li to lead the army back to the capital?"
"No, Huang Li's army can't move, with him, the southern border can't make waves, and besides, it's too late in time. β
"Otherwise, immediately transfer troops from the surrounding military camps to help. β
Ye Gucheng shook his head and sighed lightly: "It's too late! And it's easy to cause panic everywhere!"
But in this way, the king has no troops to defend, and according to General Xuanyuan's calculations, the enemy army should still have more than 20,000 people. β
"Secretly dispatch the army of Chuanjun into the capital, and in addition, gather all the armed personnel in the royal capital, including the private soldiers and guards of various prefectures, and externally in the name of the kingdom's joint military exercises, to avoid causing riots. β
"Even if we gather all the troops that can fight a battle, the defenders of the royal capital are only more than 10,000 people, how can we guard the two city gates? The two city gates in the northwest are far apart, and it is difficult to deal with them in time! At the same time, the ministers were worried that some ministers were unwilling to hand over the palace guards. Zhang Yi's worries are not unreasonable, after the last civil strife, many courtiers died unexpectedly, that is, there was no force in the palace to defend it, and suddenly such a big deal may be able to hide it from the common people, but it must not be hidden from the courtiers.
"The city gate defense can only act at the opportune level. Ye Gucheng paced a few more steps and said slowly: "Spread the word of the handsome man, tomorrow night the palace will invite hundreds of officials to the banquet and let them all enter the palace." β
"The Commander is thinking ... β
"Instead of dividing the troops and controlling them, it is better to catch them all, and it is better to omit them than to let them go. β
In this way, the courtiers must have a grudge against the commander, and ask the commander to think twice. β
"How can Ben Shuai not know!" Ye Gucheng smiled bitterly and said in a deep voice: "But, for the safety of the kingdom, even if the courtiers are cold, Ben Shuai will not hesitate to do it." β
Hearing this, Zhang Yi sighed lightly: "In this way, the minister will do what the commander said!"
Ye Gucheng nodded, and immediately, stared at Zhang Yi deeply: "Zhang Yi! Perhaps, this time, Ben Shuai is in a catastrophe!"
"Commander-in-chief ... Zhang Yi changed color.
"If Ben Shuai can't stop the enemy army, when the city is broken, I hope you will protect the queen and the prince well! At that time, you and the hundred officials only need to hide in the secret room, and when Xuanyuan Jianhong's army arrives, the danger of the royal capital can be lifted, this is Ben Shuai's last request to you!" Ye Gucheng faced the impending fate, but was extremely calm!
"Commander!" Zhang Yi hurriedly knelt down and said in a loud voice: "Please take the kingdom first, temporarily avoid the secret room, protect the royal capital, and have his own soldiers." β
Ye Gucheng's expression suddenly turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "The king is in danger, the soldiers sacrifice their lives to resist the enemy, this marshal is the supreme of the kingdom, if he retreats in fear of death, won't it make the people disappointed and the soldiers chill, if this marshal really does this, how can he be worthy of the soldiers who fought bravely to kill the enemy?"
"Commander-in-chiefγγγγγγ β
"Ben Shuai has made up his mind, you don't need to say more, step down!"
"Obey!" Zhang Yi kowtowed deeply.
Taihe Temple.
"Hongchen, come! Come to Aunt Yue'er, Aunt Yue'er will give you pastries to eat. In order to prove that what she said was true, Li Yue'er smiled and raised the pastry crumbs in her hand.
The child's eyes lit up, he broke away from his mother's hand, and went straight to Li Yue'er, and took the pastry between Li Yue'er's fingers in his mouth, and sucked it greedily.
Li Yue'er was very happy, hugged the child, and smacked at the pink little face, causing bursts of innocent laughter.
Seeing this, Li Yueli said with a smile: "Yue'er, if you continue to be so spoiled, Hongchen doesn't want me as a mother anymore!"
"No, sister, if Hongchen doesn't recognize you, I'll beat him. After Li Yue'er finished speaking, she pretended to be fierce and wanted to scare the children, but she didn't want to cause the children to laugh even more happily.
The innocent laughter infected everyone in the room, and several maids covered their mouths and chuckled, a warm picture of joy!
It's a pity that such a style of painting was broken with Ye Gucheng's step!
Several maids looked solemn and hurriedly retreated, and Li Yueli also instantly cooled down.
Ye Gucheng saw it in his eyes, and his heart was extremely lost! I don't know when it started, the laughter seemed to be getting farther and farther away from him!
"Dad, Dad!" As soon as the child saw Ye Gucheng, he excitedly broke away from Li Yue'er's arms and rushed straight away.
Ye Gucheng's heart warmed, and he hurriedly picked up his son, reaching out to pinch his pink little face, but he froze when he approached.
I don't know if it's psychological, Ye Gucheng For a moment, he saw fear flashing in his son's eyes, and what scared his son was his hand!
In a trance, he noticed that his hands had become unusually scarlet and emitted a disgusting smell of blood, not a pair of hands that belonged to a human, but a pair of claws from a demon from hell.
Li Yue'er saw that Ye Gucheng froze suddenly, and said suspiciously: "Brother-in-law, what's wrong with you?"
Li Yueli's eyes also rarely had a trace of worry, but she chose to continue to be silent as she was arrogant.
Ye Gucheng came back to his senses, laughed at himself, put down the child, and said softly: "Yue'er, you take Hongchen out to play! I have something to say with your sister." β
"Oh!" Li Yue'er obediently hugged Xiao Hongchen and left.
Li Yueli looked coldly at Ye Gucheng sitting on one side, and said indifferently: "I don't know what the commander needs to do with his concubines?"
"Just now, when I stepped into the Taihe Hall and saw your smile, I realized that I hadn't seen you smile for a long time!
Li Yueli's head drooped inadvertently, and there was a trace of mist in her eyes.
