Facing Lu Chengye's sudden apology, Xiao Changqing stood in place, one and a half meters away from Lu Chengye, and she looked at the person in front of her who she hadn't seen for a long time.

In fact, that night, when that group of people told her the truth, she thought a lot, Lu Chengye was not an ordinary person, he was the emperor of the Li Kingdom.

Everything he did was to strengthen the Li State and eliminate all the small countries that had hidden dangers to the Li State, and he, as the emperor of the Li State, did nothing wrong.

It was she who was useless, she didn't keep Xuguo, and she didn't keep the task given to her by Xiao Boyuan.

Xiao Changqing clearly knew that it was useless to rely solely on the promise Lu Chengye had given, she had never really believed in this promise from the beginning.

However, when he learned of the agreement between Lu Chengye and Emperor Qiguo, there was still a trace of disappointment in his heart.

"Why are you saying I'm sorry? You didn't do anything wrong. Xiao Changqing stepped forward and took a small step, and Lu Chengye seemed to have finally taken off her disguise.

Or did she never realize that Lu Chengye had never pretended to be in front of her...

"I promised you that I would help you protect the Asahi Kingdom, I... Not only did he not do it, but he also reached an agreement with Qi Guo and relaxed the guards of Li Guo in Xu Guo. He knew, she already knew all these things.

Now frankly, although it is too late, Lu Chengye thinks that he can barely save it.

"Actually, I never took what you said to heart, I know that I can't rely on your strength forever, so I choose not to believe you, so that I can no longer blindly want to rely on you."

In the ten years of Li Guo, Xiao Changqing would subconsciously choose to rely on Lu Chengye, which she didn't understand until the post-establishment ceremony two years ago.

Lu Chengye was silent, what he liked most was when she was dependent on herself, that feeling, only then would she be closest to him.

"I want to resign as a deputy general, and ask the emperor to fulfill it!" She was tired and just wanted to be an ordinary and ordinary person, taking the three ladies to find a secluded place to live together.

The fall of the Kingdom of Xu, if you want to blame her, it was her uselessness that led to the defeat of the Kingdom of Xu, and the Kingdom of Qi was also annexed by the State of Li overnight.

In a short period of time, it is impossible for a small country that can defeat the Li State to exist, and even if there is, they are only in the planning stage.

"I won't promise you, Chang Qing, since you asked the dark guard to bring news that you were going back to the country of Li, you won't have a chance to leave easily."

He didn't help her on her birthday two years ago, and she left the imperial city in the night, leaving a farewell letter to everyone she knew, except for him.

The feeling of being abandoned was very much in line with his mood at that time.

"Then the general will have to go back to his residence first, take care of it, and the general will retire." Since this position can't be resigned, there's nothing to talk about, and her small courtyard doesn't know if it's still there.

"Your yard is still there." Lu Chengye's voice came from behind him, but it sounded a little twisted, I should think that what he just said was a little... A little too serious??

It's been two years, and the yard where Xiao Changqing lives is still the same as when she left, and her black horse has been leisurely eating feed in the stable.

The house is clean and tidy, and it can be seen that people often come to clean it, and they all follow Lu Chengye's instructions.

flew to the beam of the house with a little light work, and sure enough, from the conversation with Lu Chengye just now, Xiao Changqing felt that something was wrong, it stands to reason that if the letter she put on the beam was read by Lu Chengye, his reaction to her would be better.

In fact, this is a letter to express his intentions, since it is destined to be lost, there is no need to leave this letter anymore, Xiao Changqing lit the candle on the candlestick, and with the candle flame, lit the letter that was full of dust.

There was no signature on the envelope, because Xiao Changqing believed that the only person who could find the letter was Lu Chengye, but her expectations were disappointed.

Watching the fire continue to consume the letter, she showed an extremely lonely smile, and finally sighed.

The next day, before the time, Gao Lang came to Changchun Palace, Chu Qin sat on a high seat, her makeup was exquisite, and she couldn't tell that she had given birth to a child.

"Didn't you promise me that you wouldn't let Xiao Changqing appear in front of the emperor again?!" At this time, in the main hall, only Chu Qin and Gao Lang were removed, and the others were all removed.

"Niangniang, there are some things that can't be hidden from the emperor." Gao Lang knelt on one knee, his hands clenched into fists and lowered, he couldn't leave the imperial study for too long.

"Also, the only one who can hide it from him is probably that woman... Go back. I thought that over time, I could slowly let Lu Chengye, who already had someone in my heart, accept himself.

However, Xiao Changqing's return dashed Chu Qin's hopes, and she always knew that Lu Chengye was different from Xiao Changqing, very different.

She only has the little prince now.

When Gao Lang returned to the imperial study, he saw Xiao Changqing, who was dressed exactly like him, standing outside the imperial study at this moment, and Gonggong Li happened to come out of the imperial study.

"Grandpa Li, what is this?" There was only one guard with a sword in front of the emperor, Gao Lang couldn't believe it, so he asked Gonggong Li.

"Vice General Xiao was promoted by the emperor to become a guard with a sword in front of the emperor, and the high guard, you... You might as well go in and get the punishment yourself. Gonggong Li shook his head and sighed, and patted Gao Lang's shoulder.

The young man has been serving by the emperor's side for more than ten years, but it's a pity...

Originally, this time was the time for the emperor to take a nap, but today our Emperor His Majesty did not take a nap, but instead asked Gonggong Li to leave the palace with the holy decree written yesterday.

Gonggong Li came to Xiao Changqing's small courtyard with the holy decree in this way, read out the holy decree, and congratulated Xiao Changqing on his promotion from a deputy general to a guard with a sword in front of the emperor.

Xiao Changqing, who originally planned to go out to pick up the three ladies first, was forced to receive the order, and from this moment on, he had to put on the clothes of the guards with knives in front of the palace and follow Gonggong Li into the palace.

"Rest assured, your family, the emperor is already helping you settle down, and when you finish today's errand, you will be able to see them."

Before leaving the palace, Lu Chengye mentioned this matter to Gonggong Li, knowing that Xiao Changqing would not say anything on the surface, but she would inadvertently show a very reluctant expression on her face.

Hearing Gonggong Li say this, Xiao Changqing was relieved, she would appear in the court tomorrow, and she would be able to see her master at that time.

Speaking of now, Gao Lang walked to Xiao Changqing's side, stood still and said, "Congratulations." ”

"Thank you." Xiao Changqing remembered that when he was young, Gao Lang was not like this, at least at that time, Gao Lang did not have any hostility and hatred towards her.

The news that the emperor replaced the guards with swords in front of the emperor soon spread throughout the palace and the imperial city, although those ministers were not satisfied, they also knew that Xiao Changqing was the apprentice of General Zheng Yuan.

Gao Lang and Xiao Changqing are compared, Xiao Changqing has crushed Gao Lang several times in terms of martial arts.
