"Brother Si, I respect you!"

Ming Ruonan picked up the wine bowl and drank it all.

Si Da looked at the downstairs full of guests holding wine cups, and then looked at the bowl that Ming Ruonan carried, and really felt that Princess Yu was not an ordinary woman.

"What does the princess want to ask me?"

Ming Ruonan filled the wine for Star, raised his eyes and looked at the little guy next to him, and the little guy retired very eye-catchingly.

When the door was tightly closed, Ming Ruonan said: "Does the general know that His Royal Highness King Duan went on an expedition to the east that year, and there is another secret?" ”

Star's expression was slightly stunned, and he looked at Ming Ruonan carefully, as if he wanted to see what her purpose was in saying this.

"Don't hide it from Brother Si, in the letter I asked you to bring to Your Majesty, there was one that mentioned this matter, but for some reason, Your Majesty has not reopened the investigation so far......" Ming Ruonan shook his head helplessly, and then looked at Si Da's eyes, full of regret and righteous indignation, "Today, I heard the noble concubine Niangniang mention Duan Wang and Xiao Shizi, and I was even more angry when I saw him crying sadly." ”

Star's face changed abruptly, and he raised his eyebrows after a while: "Since you are my eldest brother, then I am not afraid to tell you the truth, you can't touch this matter." What's more, you don't have to. ”

Ming Ruonan sighed: "Yes, I didn't want to care about it, so I thought about sending it to Your Majesty." But...... My prince said that he was always ridiculed when he was a child, only King Duan did not dislike him for being stupid, and would stand up for him when he was bullied. She raised her eyes to look at Si Da, a little helpless, "Brother Si, my own senior brother who is as close as a brother is dead in vain, I don't want my prince to ...... Hey, that's it. ”

Star was silent, and drank all the wine from the bowl.

"I saw the letter."

As soon as Si Da opened his mouth, Ming Ruonan didn't react.

"What is given to His Majesty must be repeatedly checked by the forbidden army and then handed over to the Participation Office, which will sift it again before it can be delivered. When I checked, I saw it. ”

"Then why ......"

Star drank another bowl, and the scar on his face couldn't stop shaking.

How could he not be angry when he saw the letter? Although he always knew the inside story, he really found out the correspondence between the gangsters and confirmed the matter, which still made him so hateful that he smashed the table of the forbidden army's yamen on the spot.

He handed over the letter, and waited like Ming Ruonan, waiting for seven days, but there was no movement.

The people in the Senate didn't mention it, the people in the Privy Council didn't mention it, and His Majesty didn't mention it......

Si Da looked at Ming Ruonan at this time, even though he had a thousand words, he could only bear it by himself.

"I can't tell me about this matter, I can't control it, no matter how fast I rise, I'm just a second-grade general, I don't have the ability to take care of it."

"Brother Si......" Ming Ruonan looked at Si Da, a little unbearable, "The content of the letter ...... Is it true? ”

At the moment when Ming Ruonan asked this, Si Da dignified an eight-foot man, and his eyes instantly turned red.

He slammed his fist on the table, shattering the jar.

"I went with the prince...... It's ...... me."

The letter that was pinned on by Ming Ruonan and Si Da at the same time was only two short lines: Duanwang was poisoned into the bones, the bones of the young son were prepared, and Layue made a move.

Five years ago, it was also a cold winter, Yuan Hai looked at the snow outside the window, which was already three inches, and clenched his fists.

"Lord Wang, this news may not be true, there is really no need to take risks."

"But this king has to go and see it no matter what." Yuan Hai rarely lost his mind, "Nian'er is going to celebrate his eleventh birthday today." ”

Star looked at Yuan Hai's sad expression, and his heart was also uncomfortable.

Xiao Shizi has been missing for many years, and everyone has long ceased to report any hope. But at this time, not long after the Eastern Expeditionary Army started, it got such news, which inevitably made people think that it was deliberately done by Dongyu State.

Yuan Hai stroked the jade pendant in his hand and muttered, "Madam, I may have found Nian'er......"

Since the disappearance of the princess, the princess has been getting thinner and thinner, and she has not survived the past year. After that, Yuan Hai was even more devoted to the barracks, except for entering the palace to visit Concubine Zhuang, there was nothing else worth remembering for him.

"Please think twice!"

The soldiers knelt in the snow and repeatedly admonished.

Yuan Hai's fierce gaze swept over everyone present, and he looked up to the sky and sighed.

"All these years, the generals have followed this king to the east and west, and it is really hard." Yuan Hai patted Si Da's shoulder, "Si Da has been following me for thirteen years, and he didn't even get a daughter-in-law, but he was injured." ”

"Lord Wang......" Si Da's eyes were red, and he couldn't choke up when he looked at Yuan Hai.

"This king didn't want to raise the military again this year, hey, let's make a big announcement, we can't move it...... But there is a knot in his father's heart, Dongyu does not surrender to Daxuan for a day, and he thinks about it for a day. If we are sons and courtiers, don't we have to eat the king's Lu and be loyal to the king? When Yuan Hai said this, the generals kneeling all clenched their fists, and they didn't dare to speak with anger in their hearts.

Qi Duwei hammered his fist in the snow, and he actually hammered his hand out of blood.

"Lord Wang, your subordinates are unwilling to do it for you!"

Yuan Hai was helpless, tore off a piece from the hem of his clothes, and wrapped Qi Duwei's hand: "Qi Chong, don't be so angry in the future!" ”

He got up and hugged his fists at everyone: "If this time, this king does not come back, Si Da and Huaiyuan will draw up an excerpt together, please new generals." ”

"General!"

"Lord Wang!"

The crying and shouting rang out, but Yuan Hai finally turned around.

Later, there were many speculations about this matter, and some people felt that King Duan did not want to raise any more troops, so he deliberately took advantage of this to make Emperor Wu give up the Eastern Crusade. Some people also believe that King Duan's heart is dead, and he doesn't want to live in the world for a long time, and he wants to accompany the late princess to sleep underground.

But only Star knew that when King Duan turned around and returned to the military tent, he coughed up blood.

He looked at the blood-stained handkerchief and smiled self-deprecatingly: "My body has been getting worse day by day, and I can't even stand this little bit of wind and snow." ”

Star was on the side, pursing her lips and saying nothing.

"Are you complaining about the king?"

Star shook her head.

Yuan Hai patted Star on the shoulder and slowly sat back on the chair draped in tiger skin.

"Remember this tiger skin?"

Star nodded: "Three years ago, on the way to the north, the big guys hunted three together, you said, although we are wolves, as long as we are united, the tigers have to be afraid of us." ”

"Don't forget the words of this king, you are wolves, even if tigers and leopards are rampant, you can't lose your heart." Yuan Hai raised his eyes, and the sadness in his eyes grew, "Star...... If this time, the king does not come back...... He wrote to the court and asked Hugo to be heard. And then...... Kill Hong. ”

Starden froze in place, looking at the fierceness that flashed in King Duan's eyes, and the whole person was shocked.

"Mrs. Hong, she ......"

"This king has been wondering why he is so chilled when he goes out on this expedition, and every time he touches his true qi, he will feel that his meridians are damaged."

"You mean Mrs. Hong......"

"That's right, after picking the sachet she gave, Ben Wang's symptoms have been alleviated." Yuan Hai shook his head helplessly when he said this, "It's just that the day before yesterday, I asked the doctor to diagnose it, saying that the poison has penetrated into the bones, and even if the medicine hangs for his life, he won't be able to live the beginning of spring." ”

Star was so angry that he pulled out his saber directly: "I'm going to kill the femme fatale!" ”

"Star!" Yuan Hai frowned and looked at Star, "After following me for so many years, why are you still so unbreathable?" Are you trying to upset the morale of the army before the battle? ”

Star was so angry that he trembled all over, and his anger was nowhere to vent, so he simply plunged the knife in his hand directly into the ground.

"The king's days are numbered, so ...... Even if you know that this news is false, you have to go. I, a father, want to take one last look at Nian'er before I die. ”

"Lord Wang...... I'm going with you! ”

Yuan Hai shook his head and handed the jade pendant in his hand to Si Da: "If one day, you are looking for someone who has this jade pendant, remember to help this king ask if his birthday is the first day of the lunar month." ”
