Chu Xingyue counted the numbers with his hands, counting the days when the eldest brother and Yuan Feng left her.

Zhao Ling walked into the carriage from the outside, and what he saw was Chu Xingyue's frowning appearance.

couldn't bear to worry about her, he walked up to her and hugged her gently, and asked gently, "What's wrong?" Are you still worried about Big Brother and them? It's going to be fine, you know, with Yuan Feng following the eldest brother, and so many black armor troops, they will definitely not have an accident. ”

Although Chu Xingyue knew that Chu He's martial arts were extraordinary, and she knew that Yuan Feng was outstanding, she still couldn't help but worry about it.

"I wonder how they're doing? They've been gone for four whole days, and they haven't even sent any news back, and you don't let me use the Sky Eye, are you going to kill me in a hurry? ”

As she spoke, Chu Xingyue gently smashed Zhao Ling's chest with her fist, with obvious dissatisfaction on her face.

Zhao Ling knew that Chu Xingyue was in a hurry, and he didn't really want to lose his temper with herself, so he patiently comforted her anxious emotions: "Yue'er, eldest brother is a perennial leader of troops, and he can come and go freely in such a dangerous place on the battlefield, will he still be afraid of the 30,000 city guards who don't even know how to fight?" Besides, Yuan Feng, he is a member of the Tianding clan, and his ability has long been beyond the scope of normal people like us, in fact, this king wants to sweat for those who dare to go against him, you have known Yuan Feng for so long, have you ever seen him suffer at the hands of anyone? ”

After Zhao Ling said this, Chu Xingyue tilted her head and thought about it, it was indeed the same reason.

Although there is danger in the capital now, her eldest brother and Yuan Feng are not vegetarians, how could they be easily stopped?

After all, she was too uneasy to be so worried, and she should have faith in the two of them.

It's just that Zhao Ling's words just now aroused her interest: "You say, those 30,000 city guards don't know how to fight?" What does this mean? ”

In Chu Xingyue's cognition, being able to have an army formation, no matter how wasted firewood is, it should be somewhat lethal, otherwise, the Jiang clan and they wouldn't have done anything with these 30,000 city guards, right?

Zhao Ling couldn't wait for Chu Xingyue to divert his attention from Chu He and Yuan Feng, and now that she was interested in something else, he immediately explained to her with great interest.

"Although our dynasty has been a bit heavy on literature and light on military force in recent years, the army has always been the foundation of a country, even if it is neglected, it cannot be underestimated; Therefore, in many families in the capital, there are many big families who like to send their stubborn sons, nephews, nephews and the like to the army; First, they can be in the barracks for two years to earn some qualifications for the convenience of becoming officials in the future, and secondly, the children of everyone who are often sent to the barracks are all gentlemen, and their families throw them in with the idea of wanting to sharpen them; But although the idea is good, the reality is still like that. Therefore, many of the ranks of the guards in Beijing are wastes who occupy the establishment but do nothing; How can such a character be compared to the Black Armor Army who is good at fighting and has really experienced the baptism of war?! ”

Hearing Zhao Ling say this, Chu Xingyue immediately realized that there was such a layer of Taoism in it.

"It's just that not all the city guards are like this, after all, these 30,000 horses are responsible for the security of the periphery of the capital, and the people living in the capital are all rich and noble people, and they can't take carelessness lightly; Therefore, among these 30,000 people, there is no shortage of people who are truly capable; But Yue'er, you don't have to worry, soldiers are also different, those who have been on the battlefield and those who have never been on the battlefield are always different; It's like a soldier who has really killed someone and seen blood, and a soldier who has never killed someone with a knife, there is a big gap in fighting. ”

Chu Xingyue could understand the meaning of Zhao Ling's words, that is, she wanted to tell her that compared with the heavy soldiers who really guarded my border, the 30,000 city guards in the capital were like babies who grew up in a honey pot, and they were quite capable of crying, but compared with the black armor army in the hands of the eldest brother, they would not be the opponent of the black armor army at all.

Chu Xingyue's anxious heart was finally comforted a lot by Zhao Ling, she leaned on Zhao Ling's shoulder, and her voice relaxed a lot: "I'm always worried about my eldest brother and Yuan Feng these days, and I've been ignoring you a little, will you be angry with me?" ”

Zhao Ling smiled at her dotingly: "Will this king be the kind of person with a small heart?" Of course, this king also knows that you are so worried about the big brother and them, and it's because of this king, isn't it? ”

Chu Xingyue leaned on Zhao Ling's arms and smiled, in her heart, he Zhao Ling was really a cautious person; She clearly remembered that when the eldest brother first came to them, he was still guarding against the intimate contact between her and Chu He.

The reason is that she is not the real Chu Bingyue, and she should not be too close to other men, even if that man is the eldest brother of this body; In the end, he saw that Chu He really loved her like a sister, so he was relieved.

This duplicitous man, she has never seen anyone more stingy than him.

Although she thought so in her heart, Chu Xingyue didn't dare to say these words, so as not to provoke this vinegar jar again: "Zhao Ling, when you return to the capital, what are you going to do?" ”

In fact, this question has been haunting her heart for a long time, she clearly knows his ideals and ambitions, and naturally knows that he is bound to win the position of the Son of Heaven; However, she also knows very well that this road is very difficult to walk, and the slightest accident will be shattered.

If she could, she really didn't want him to choose such a path, but unfortunately, the current situation no longer allowed them to make a second choice; She knew very well that in the next battle, if they didn't win, they would die at the hands of that vicious woman of the Jiang family.

Zhao Ling hugged Chu Xingyue in his arms tightly, sensing her slight trembling, and thinking of letting her go through this with him, he was very guilty and unbearable.

Suddenly, an alternative thought came to his mind, Zhao Ling helped Chu Xingyue in his arms to sit up, and looked at her with a serious expression: "Yue'er, why don't you go back to Qingzhou first?" ”

Chu Xingyue looked at him with wide eyes in surprise, feeling as if she was having auditory hallucinations: "What did you say?" Say it again? ”

Zhao Ling also felt that his idea was not bad, so he said in a cheerful tone: "Yue'er, you heard this king tell you that although Qingzhou is the territory of the Great Wei and is controlled by the Son of Heaven, because Qingzhou is adjacent to the border of Northern Mongolia, I have been stationed there since the establishment of the dynasty; Nowadays, Qingzhou is more similar to the fief of the Marquis of Jingbei, and the father-in-law has absolute influence and control in Qingzhou, and when you return to Qingzhou, your father-in-law will definitely protect you; In the future, even if there is an accident in this king, the Jiang family will weigh the identity of his father-in-law and dare not do anything to you; Yue'er, back to Qingzhou, the Jingbei Hou Mansion can ensure your stability, if this king can succeed, he will personally pick you up, okay? ”

"Zhao Ling, you bastard!"

Chu Xingyue withdrew her hand from Zhao Ling, who was scolded by herself, and the tears in her eyes immediately gathered, and she was about to burst into tears: "You said that no matter where you go in the future, you will take me with you, this sentence is still in your ears, but you left it behind in the blink of an eye; Zhao Ling, in your eyes, am I, Chu Xingyue, the kind of person who makes you come and go as soon as you are summoned? ”

Zhao Ling was also anxious, and hurriedly grabbed Chu Xingyue's arm and explained: "Yue'er, this king didn't mean that, this king is worried about you, afraid that you will be in danger if you follow this king." ”

"You're worried that I'm in danger, don't you want to think about it, and I'll worry about you too?"

The tears in Chu Xingyue's eyes couldn't hold back any longer, and the big ones fell down: "The injuries on your body are just better, and there are also many conspiracies and tricks in the capital right now, you are worried that I will send me away, aren't I worried that your life will hang by a thread this time?" Zhao Ling, in fact, I really hope that you can be the same as before, don't take me too seriously, so that no matter where you go, you will take me with you without any baggage; Now, I know that you are going to face a big challenge, but you are going to push me away, do you know, my heart will also be sad? Will you be stabbed by your concern too? ”

Seeing Chu Xingyue crying, Zhao Ling was distressed and hurriedly wiped her cheeks with his sleeve: "Okay, okay, it's all the king's fault, this king shouldn't push you away, he shouldn't let you go back to Qingzhou alone; Yue'er doesn't cry anymore, wherever this king goes in the future, he will take you with him, okay? ”

Chu Xingyue let this bastard move clumsily and wiped her tears for herself, feeling sad: "Every time I do something wrong, I know to coax me with nice words, do you really think this trick will work?" Don't wipe my face with your sleeve, your skin will be torn by you. ”

Listening to the fierce voice of the beloved woman, Zhao Ling was really helpless to the extreme.

If you look closely, isn't it, her skin has always been delicate, and red marks can appear with a little force, just now he was in a hurry, just now he was in a hurry, just to wipe her tears, but forgot to start lightly; I watched as the snow-white skin was rubbed a little red by my own rude movements.

Zhao Ling blamed herself even more, and simply hugged the snow-jade-like person in front of her into her arms, and the gentle and delicate kisses fell on her eyelids and cheeks like snowflakes, kissing away the wet and salty tears little by little.

The voice was quiet and gentle: "So it doesn't hurt, right?" Yue'er, what this king said just now is nonsense, and this king is reluctant to part with you, from now on, you and I will be husband and wife, whether we go to Daoshan or go to the sea of fire, we must be together forever and never separate. ”

Hearing Zhao Ling say this, Chu Xingyue forgave him a little; This guy doesn't know what to do until he provokes her every time, and he really doesn't clean it up.

However, Chu Xingyue and Zhao Ling at this moment didn't know that some promises were destined to be unfulfillable; Who would have thought that the two who were so loving at this time would one day take two different paths.
