"I love you", what a cheesy three words.

But unless you've heard it, unless you've said it, you can't know how much helplessness is contained in these three words? How much bitterness and bitterness? How much sweetness? How much pain?

What a long, painful journey you have to go through before you can say these three words.

After saying these three words, you must accept that the unknowable future, is it sweet? Is it more painful? Is it helplessness? Or is it more poignant?

Thousands of years ago, many people said these three words.

A thousand years from now, there will still be many people who say these three words.

Whether you are speaking or listening, you can only understand the helplessness of these three words by experiencing it yourself.

The current dream princess Bai Meng'er is very conflicted in her heart, because at the moment when the Yi army of the Zhilu Dao Yi clan invaded Yizhou, she knew that her marriage to Ji Qingchen was going to be shelved. Because the Yi clan has rebelled against Dayan, Dayan will no longer treat her as a princess marrying Dayan's prince at this time, and can only treat her as a bargaining chip.

So when Ji Qingchen left the imperial study, he met the chamberlain sent by Bai Meng'er to find him, saying that Princess Meng'er was waiting for him in the imperial garden and wanted to talk to him.

When Bai Meng'er was approached to live in the palace when Ji Qingchen left King's Landing and went north to Caozhou.

This is Ouchi Imperial Palace. Ji Qingchen naturally didn't suspect that the waiter's words were false, and there was fraud in them, so he came to the imperial garden with the waiter.

As soon as I arrived at the Imperial Garden, it snowed heavily in the sky.

Snowflakes are dazzling to the eye.

In the chaotic snow, Ji Qingchen saw from a distance that the princess of the Yi clan was in a pavilion near the bamboo forest in the imperial garden. Seeing that Bai Meng'er was alone, he asked the chamberlain to retreat, walked to the pavilion alone, and stood quietly beside Bai Meng'er without speaking.

"Does Your Highness think King's Landing is beautiful?" Bai Meng'er asked.

"This king loves winter." Ji Qingchen replied, he knew very well what Bai Meng'er meant.

"Yes! Your Highness really likes winter, but what you like more is the winter in the capital and the snow in the capital, right? Bai Meng'er's words were a little sharp.

"Is the princess joking?" Ji Qingchen sneered, his good temper does not mean that others will challenge him, he still needs to greet him with a smile. Especially now that he has the strength and doesn't need to grovel so much, he is even more reluctant.

"Your Highness is a joke?" Bai Meng'er sneered, "But the world likes to joke, and treats the people in the world as their own chess pieces, playing with them in the palm of their hands!" ”

"Princess Dream, when the two countries are fighting now, please be cautious!" Ji Qingchen shouted coldly.

"What? Since His Highness dares to do it, why doesn't he dare to admit it? Bai Meng'er and Ji Qingchen went toe-to-toe, and it seemed that they had already made up their minds to break the net.

In the face of Bai Meng'er's aggressiveness, Ji Qingchen was a little deflated, "The princess's words, this king can't understand!" ”

"Since Your Highness doesn't understand, let Meng'er explain it to Your Highness!" Princess Meng said, "May I ask Your Highness if you know what the war between the Lingnan Yi clan is about?" ”

"The eight Yi tribes in Lingnan are greedy, and they have long been eyeing the Great Yan Yizhou, just when the Beirong troops went south and approached the Great Yan capital King's Landing, they were greedy and wanted to capture the Yizhou of the Great Yan, which is why they rebelled against the Great Yan." Ji Qingchen said righteously.

"Ha Luha-" Bai Meng'er sneered, "This statement is believed by the people of Dayan, the ministers of Dayan, and even His Majesty Da Yan will believe it, but do you believe His Royal Highness the King of Northern Liao?" What a high-sounding reason, Your Highness! ”

"Meng Gong is mainly if there is nothing to do, this king will leave!" Ji Qingchen said that the conversation between the two had reached this point, and he didn't want to entangle with each other too much.

But just as he was walking, Princess Dream said, "Your Highness, you provoked this war for the sake of the princess who left the country, but do you know how many people will die in this war?" ”

"Princess Dream-" Ji Qingchen was a little angry, "Please be cautious-lest it will make matters worse when the two countries are fighting!" ”

"Caution?" Bai Meng'er sneered, "The King of Northern Liao is so domineering! May I ask the king of Northern Liao, is Meng'er wrong? You didn't send someone to Baiyan City to kill Meng'er's uncle Bai Zhiquan? You didn't send someone to hang his head on the tower of Baiyan City after killing him, and you also wrote the murderer Yanren Feng. May I ask Your Highness, in this huge King's Landing City, if my Lingnan Yi clan starts a war with Dayan, who will benefit from the fisherman? In this huge King's Landing City, apart from His Majesty, who still has such a dead soldier in his hands? Of course, the King of Northern Liao can not admit it, because just like what you said yourself, the eight Yi tribes in Lingnan have long been greedy, and they have long been eyeing your Great Yan Yizhou, and now it is when Beirong is heading south to attack the Great Yan capital King's Landing, so he will be greedy to capture Yizhou. So no matter how many reasons Meng'er has, as long as you, the King of Northern Liao, don't admit it, no one will believe that this war started because of you. ”

"Is Princess Dream finished? If he is finished, the king will take his leave. Ji Qingchen said in a cold tone.

"Hehe, the king of Northern Liao is also afraid? Otherwise, why would you be in such a hurry to leave? Could it be that Meng'er can still eat a weak woman? Bai Meng'er sneered.

But this time, Ji Qingchen remained silent.

After a long time, Princess Mengmeng of the Lingnan Yi clan spoke, "Meng'er said these words today, I don't want to force the King of Northern Liao to admit that this is your masterpiece, and I don't want to use it as a bargaining chip to negotiate with you in turn, I just want to say a word to the King of Northern Liao: Do you think it's worth it to use the common people in the world as chess pieces and sacrifice your love with hundreds of thousands of blood?" Will you feel comfortable doing so? ”

"It's worth it!" Ji Qingchen said in a deep voice, then ignored Bai Meng'er and strode away. And Bai Meng'er's face suddenly turned pale when she heard the two words that Ji Qingchen spit out, but in the end, she didn't say a word, and let Ji Qingchen stride out of the imperial garden.

At the same time, a line of clear tears flowed out of her eyes and dripped onto the snow beneath her feet.

Why be amorous? Why be infatuated? If the flower is affectionate, it will wither early. If a man is amorous, he is haggard and haggard......

People are at the end of the world, why are they haggard? Wine into the gold bottle, why not indulge? Drunk eyes to see others in pairs are better than secretly playing lovesick tears in no one......

Flowers and trees are ruthless, and sooner or later they will wither. A ruthless person will one day be haggard. If people are ruthless, what is it like to live? Even if you secretly play lovesick tears in no one's place, it is still several times better than no tears.

"What if you could say "not worth it" or say nothing at all? Bai Meng'er muttered to herself, "But you're still for her after all!" ”

At this moment, the dream princess of the Lingnan Yi clan finally realized what loneliness is.

What is true loneliness?

It's a person who drinks and chats alone without one, and is so lonely. Or is it that no one knows what is on your mind, although there are a lot of friends, there is no one who can pour out your heart, and you are lonely?

But it's not loneliness, it's just a feeling of loneliness. True loneliness is a kind of emptiness that goes deep into the bone marrow, a maddening emptiness. Even in the midst of the cheers, you can feel the emptiness, melancholy and frustration in your heart.

There is also the person I like, who is obviously close at hand, as long as I want to get it, but after all, it is a little bit worse, really just a little, a little bit.

A conversation with Princess Dream made Ji Qingchen very irritable, and when he returned to the palace, he summoned Zhang Rang and Guo to the study.

"Don't check about the East Palace, when the king went to the East Palace for a banquet, the crown princess had already admitted it." Ji Qingchen persuaded Zhang Rang and Guo to persuade, "Let's focus our energy on Beirong now!" In the battle after the beginning of spring tomorrow, this king must destroy this iron cavalry that has entered the pass, otherwise it may be a big trouble in the future. ”

"Is Your Highness going south to quell the rebellion?" Zhang Rang asked.

"yes!" Ji Qingchen sighed and said, "If you really let the Lingnan Yi clan wreak havoc in Yizhou too much, it will be very unfavorable to this king in the future!" ”

Guo Quan couldn't understand Ji Qingchen's words, but Zhang Rang knew it very well, so he asked, "What should I do here in King's Landing?" ”

"The younger ones still need to be deterred, otherwise if this king goes to Caozhou, they will start jumping up and down again." Ji Qingchen said, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he ordered Guo Quanhe and Zhang Rang, "You go and make arrangements, let the 'Iron Clothes' and the 'Inner Factory' dispatch a group of people, and pull out all the dead soldiers and minions of Ji Zhao's King's Landing to this king." It's time to teach this boy a lesson. ”

"Your Highness, if you say this, I'm afraid you'll have to kill a lot of people?" Guo Quan, a little worried, asked a little worriedly, he was not a kind woman, he was worried that his side would not have enough manpower.

"Are there any martial arts masters among Ji Zhao's dead soldiers and minions?" Ji Qingchen asked.

"There are seven or eight people, but with the ability of the slave and Guo Quan, it is enough to deal with them. However, it is difficult to say about the rest of the people, and in terms of the current manpower of the 'Iron Suit' and the 'Inner Factory', I am afraid that it is not enough to deal with it, because our manpower is relatively scattered, and we have just sent a group of masters to the capital city where we have left the country, and now the manpower in King's Landing is no longer enough to hold such a big operation. ”

"I didn't expect there to be a shortage of manpower!" Ji Qingchen sighed.

The total number of people in the "Iron Suit" and the "Inner Factory" is nearly six or seven hundred, but if they are dispersed, there are really not many. Because Ji Qingchen's layout is too big, people like the Eastern Wilderness, Western Shu, Lingnan, Liguo, and even Beirong have all been sent, plus there are not enough people in his hands.

"You can find Li Changzheng in this operation and ask them to assist you!" Ji Qingchen pondered for a moment and replied, "But when this king leaves King's Landing and goes to Caozhou, you still have to find another group of talents." ”

"No!" Zhang Rang and Guo persuaded to take orders.

Seeing that Ji Qingchen had nothing to say, the two left the study.

"Zhang Rang, you stay!" Just as the two stepped out of the threshold of the study, Ji Qingchen said. Zhang Rang retracted his steps, returned to the study and asked Ji Qingchen, "What else does Your Highness have to order?" ”

"The Feng Tang you found last time was very good, if there are still such people, then gather them under your command!" Ji Qingchen said.

"Minions understand!" Zhang Rang commanded.

To be honest, a person like Feng Tang does have a lot in his hands, he only recruited one Feng Tang before, he is afraid that Ji Qingchen will not like this kind of murderous and criminal devil, and he is also a dead eunuch who has no roots. Now that the king of Northern Liao said so, he didn't have any trouble in his heart.

"Well, you go down!" Ji Qingchen said.

Zhang Rang took the order, bowed and left the study.

In fact, Ji Qingchen still doesn't like people like Feng Tang, no matter how strong his martial arts are, no matter how strong his strength is, because this group of people is too vicious, he wants to compete for the position of the prince, and he can't rely on these demons and outsiders. But this is also something he can't do, he is really short of people now, and it is even more urgent after talking to Princess Dream in the Imperial Garden.

Because just like Lingnan's Dream Princess said, he does regard the common people in the world as chess pieces, he is in the next game of chess, a big game of chess, and he needs more chess pieces for him.
