"What do you say? What is this waste going on? Can't do anything like that? In the main hall of the East Palace, Ji Zhao received a report from a secret guard, and roared angrily when he learned about the battle situation between Beiliao and Beirong.

His mood is different from Ji Qian, because Ji Qian can afford to lose, he can't afford to lose, because Ji Qian has rights now, and Ji Qian is supported by both the Cui family and the Li family, he is just a miscellaneous county king, not because of his father's grace, he may not even get a miscellaneous county king, and the Wei family is just a business travel family, which is different from the Cui family's power family.

Therefore, when he got such news, his reaction was even more radical than Ji Qian's.

This time, they Wei sent out 500 people, and the battle was gone, and they didn't even know who the enemy was in Liaozhou, and the bodies of the dead assassins on their side were not found. Only Beirong has achieved a little success in the first battle, but compared with the losses of his own side, what can this achievement be counted? He had fought with Ji Qingchen a few times before, all of which ended in failure, and he lost a lot of people more than once, and all the time of her mother and concubine was lost, and now he began to use the strength of his maternal uncle's family, but he didn't expect that just one battle, he lost five hundred dead assassins, this is a dead assassin, it needs to be cultivated from an early age, in addition to combat effectiveness, but also loyal, absolutely loyal samurai, is smashed out with money!

"Your Highness, this-" The secret guard obviously didn't expect Ji Zhao to be so angry, and was stunned by Ji Zhao's anger, and he didn't know what to say.

"What is this? You bunch of rubbish-" Ji Zhao yelled, didn't Beiliao have any news at all? Are you sure that our people in Northern Liao have been wiped out? ”

Like Ji Qian, Ji Zhao also had a little hope and expectation on the battlefield of Northern Liao. After all, I'm not very satisfied with seeing the corpse and getting the exact news!

However, for the Dark Guard, if he exposes his identity to the enemy and suddenly disappears, he must have been killed, and there is no second possibility.

That's why they reported to Ji Zhao like this.

"No, our judgment must be that the whole army must be wiped out!" The guard replied tremblingly.

"Hmph-" Ji Zhao snorted coldly, and was about to scold, when he saw the crown princess and Wei Ran walking into the main hall, he held back the words that came to his lips. And the crown princess heard Ji Zhao's words at the door, so she didn't say anything to Ji Zhao, but signaled to the secret guard to let her leave before saying to Ji Zhao, "What, have you forgotten what your mother told you?" You must be calm and not impulsive. ”

"Mother, this time, this time we have lost five hundred people, but unfortunately we haven't even found the shadow of the enemy." As soon as Ji Zhao wanted to refute, he heard the crown princess shouting, "That's enough, isn't it just the loss of five hundred people?" As for you being angry like this? If you mature a little because of this war, the mother concubine and our Wei clan will not feel distressed even if they lose 50,000 people. ”

"Mother-" Hearing the princess say this, Ji Zhao stopped talking, he knew that the mother concubine would reprimand himself like this for his good, and he would be strict with himself.

"I'm telling you, if you continue like this, the mother really doesn't want to help you anymore." The crown princess said coldly. In fact, the failure of this plan was also a big blow to her, because after all, the battle of the business plan was so easily cracked by the other party, and it was solved lightly.

Seeing that Ji Zhao was a little puzzled and wanted to ask, the crown princess continued, "You have to know that Lu Dao is now fighting for the position of the crown prince, each of them is much stronger than you, they are calm, they have wisdom, they have plans, they still have strong strength and power, what do you say we have?" Except for your grandfather Shangzhou Wei, what does our mother and son have? If you want an identity, you can't compare to their genuine Royal Highness the Prince, you can only live on wealth and wealth, and you want power but no power. In this case, if you don't work hard, if you don't fight a little harder, what face do we have to fight for opportunities with them? ”

What the crown princess said are all Ji Zhao's shortcomings, and they are obviously certain. With Ji Zhao's current heart and vision, he can see it, but because he has lived in the East Palace for a long time without his father's discipline and is ignored by others, he has become the character he has now, arrogant, conceited and a little inferior, insidious, ruthless but without scheming.

"Mother, I know the truth!" Hearing what the crown princess said was very bleak, Ji Zhao, who wanted to continue arguing, suddenly calmed down and stopped talking.

"If you know the truth, go read a book!" The crown princess said, "I want to talk to your aunt about something!" ”

"Yes." Ji Zhao respectfully left the main hall.

After Ji Zhao left the hall and the figure was far away, the crown princess asked Wei Ran, "Could it be that Ji Qingchen is so powerful?" ”

The crown princess said this with her own considerations, they had already made a plan for the cooperation between the two sides this time, and 800 people were dispatched. But Ji Qingchen was locked up in the Northern Liao Palace, and he didn't participate in the action, and his subordinates easily solved one of their own targeted operations, which is also a bit too terrifying!

If Ji Qingchen came out, how strong would he be?

"It's not that Ji Qingchen is strong, it's that he got the treasure." Wei Ran said coldly, obviously unhappy because of the loss of five hundred dead assassins in this battle, "Who do you see around him?" Bai Xiangcheng, the illegitimate son of the Bai family, likes the rebellion of his stepmother, and is not tolerated by everyone, but Ji Qingchen reused him, and also made him the governor of the capital, you look at Li Changzheng and Wang Yin, these people, who were a tyrant in King's Landing City at the beginning, a typical gentleman, bullying men and women do all kinds of evil, but now they have become his henchmen and generals, and then look at Xiang Ziyu and Xu Dachun and others, are the generals of the defeated army, and some are still Pei Wenju's people, but now they are not dead set on him? ”

"Sister, it's not that Ji Qingchen is strong, it's not how powerful Ji Qingchen is, it's that he can use people, and he knows how to use people." Wei Ran said, "And he also knows how to delegate power and how to spend money." ”

"The governor of Northern Liao gave him Bai Xiangcheng, but he also gave Xu Dachun and Xiang Ziyu the position of commanding the first army, and he was very relieved, he didn't doubt their loyalty at all, and put Meng Li in the position of the governor of Beirong, this is his means." Wei Ran said, "What's more, he divided the land of Beirong to the 600,000 army of Beiliao and Beirong, just because of this land, no matter how others buy it, this 600,000 army will not have two hearts for him." ”

"We can't have this kind of courage, this kind of courage." Wei Ran said, "So we are not surprised that we lost to him. ”

"Yes, I know what you said, but unfortunately I'm not willing to admit defeat like this!" The crown princess said.

As Ji Zhao's mother, she has experienced a lot of hardships to be able to accompany Ji Zhao to this point, and she is indeed a little unwilling to give up now.

"It's not just my sister who is unwilling, I'm not reconciled, and we're not reconciled either." Wei Ran said, "He Ji Qingchen was a hostage before, and he has only been back to Dayan for two years, and he can achieve today's achievements, is it possible that our Wei family's hundreds of years of accumulation, a family's efforts can't reach his height?" ”

"So sister, don't worry, it's okay to fail this time, I and our Wei clan will support you and Zhao'er." Wei Ran said in a resolute tone, "Grandfather said, this time even if you lose the Wei family, you will have to fight with Ji Qingchen!" ”

"Lose to Weis? This-" Hearing Wei Ran say this, the crown princess was a little surprised, she couldn't believe it, she was happy, she was a little worried, it was all kinds of emotions, and it was a mixed taste.

"Otherwise, what way out do we have?" Wei Ran laughed miserably, "We have offended Ji Qingchen before, and there is no way out, what can we do if we don't fight him?" Our Wei family is not like the other six major families, they are standing on the opposite side of Ji Qingchen, but as long as Ji Qingchen gains power, they will come out to support Ji Qingchen and be spared, but we are different, we don't have all our strength, only money, in the past, Dayan was short of money, His Majesty was short of money, we can rely on Da Yan, but now Ji Qingchen is not short of money, he has Huitong Bank, he has money, our Wei family is the stone on his way to fortune, he is naturally willing to kick us away. ”

"Hey!" After listening to Wei Ran's words quietly, the crown princess sighed again and stopped talking. And Wei Ran didn't say anything more, and the two stood quietly in the main hall in silence.

In the middle of the sound, Wei Ran seemed to have mustered up a lot of courage to ask the crown princess, "Sister, do you really like him?" ”

Hearing her sister ask this again, the crown princess didn't want to be shocked when she heard it for the first time, but pondered for a moment before she whispered, "It's better to love than never to love!" ”

This answer is obvious, it is equivalent to answering Wei Ran's question.

I heard the crown princess continue, "Happiness is the precipitation of years, and smiling is lonely sadness!" ”

Wei Ran understood the first sentence, but she couldn't understand the second sentence that the crown princess said, and just when Wei Ran opened her mouth to ask what it meant, the crown princess asked again, "Sister, do you know how Lu Dao can tell that you are in love with him?" ”

Wei Ran nodded, and shook her head again, that is, she was both knowledgeable and a little dazed.

"In any of our circumstances, as long as we meet for the first time and feel the pain of parting, it means that we are in love with him." The crown princess seemed to say to herself, "But I've only seen it twice, once to give him a green dragon horse lance, in order to clean up the mess for Ji Zhao, and once to clean up the mess for Ji Zhao, I just can't help but want to see what kind of strange woman Shu'er in his heart is, so that he can ignore his father's thunderous anger and go north to leave the country to ask for relatives." ”

"Hehe-" The crown princess smiled, laughing miserably, a little sarcastic. I heard her continue to whisper, "If there is no fate, the three thousand worlds of the Lu realm, millions of Bodhi sentient beings, why do you smile with me alone, but only meet me?" If there is fate, after the lights are knotted, three feet of snow, white hair overnight, so far speechless, but only ashes, no rekindling? Sister, I don't know how to greet him, if I can see him again, I have experienced so much, and at the same time after so long, how should I greet him, with tears, with silence, or with indifference? ”

"Sister, I don't know the way, I don't know the way, I really don't know the way." Wei Ran cried, at this moment she truly understood how deep this relationship was hidden in her sister's heart, how stupid, and how painful, but what could she do? Nothing can be done, nothing can be done.

Because in the world of feelings, some people cry, and some people laugh.
