I will go too. ”

"Oh. Then ...... Wait, you're saying that if you're going to go to war with the hawksbill turtles, you're going to go to the front as well? ”|

"Hmm." Lin Shenyuan nodded, a little silently worried in his heart.

He had this idea before, but he had never told Bai Jinli.

Now it's even more like a prelude, and I don't know what she thinks in her heart at this moment?

Will you be secretly angry with him?

"Okay, I see, you go. Stay safe and come back alive. Bai Jinli spoke calmly.

At the end, she added: "Otherwise, I will take your money and find all kinds of good-looking men to come back and face them." ”

"......" Lin Shenyuan.

Why is this reaction different from what he imagined?

"Lady, aren't you angry?" After pondering for a while, Lin Shenyuan asked.

"Why should I be angry? Since you have chosen to be a general, it is only a matter of time before you go to the battlefield. ”

"The people of the tortoiseshell country have repeatedly challenged Daqi without a bottom line, if they don't do it again, won't it make people look down on our Daqi?"

"As a soldier of the Great Qi, you have won the holy grace of Your Majesty, and you should relieve your worries for the king."

"Besides, going out to fight is to defend the country and protect the people behind you, it's something you want to do, why should I be angry?"

"It's just that you are a flesh and blood person in the end, once you start a war, it will inevitably be extremely dangerous, and you must pay more attention to safety."

"Otherwise, what I just said wasn't a joke."

"After all, all your money is in my hands, if you don't return, don't blame me for squandering your money."

Hearing Bai Jinli say this, Lin Shenyuan stretched out his hand and pulled her into his arms.

The royal secret guard outside, who had received His Majesty's order to deliver the secret letter, waited expressionlessly for a few seconds, then slipped a letter through the crack in the door, and then turned and disappeared into the courtyard.

——

In the palace.

Qi Heng sat alone in front of a pair of chessboards, frowning and pondering.

Behind him stood silent, just acting as a backdrop for the backdrop.

The meaning of Laifu's existence is to quietly go over and help refill a cup of hot tea once in a while, and then continue to stand silently.

His Majesty has been staring at this endgame for nearly half an hour.

The chess pieces in his hand were also raised, ready to fall, and then retracted.

In this nearly half an hour, His Majesty played seven moves, but in the end he withdrew all seven moves.

I heard that this is a game of chess, and I don't know when it began to spread quietly in the capital.

But everyone in the capital who knows how to play chess is thinking about the next trend of this chess.

But no one cracked it.

In order to honor his master, who likes to play chess, the little eunuch who went out to buy got back a chess and card map of the endgame that was circulating.

Then it was passed on and on, and accidentally passed into the hands of His Majesty.

It's just that this is an endgame chessboard, and it's not certain whether there is a way to solve it, and I don't understand why so many people are rushing to it.

Even His Majesty, who was only concerned with handling government affairs in the past, deliberately took out time to ponder this chessboard.

Hey, Laifu has a lot of ideas in his heart, but he can only stand aside obediently and act as a backdrop.

He was just a eunuch, but he didn't have the courage to preach to His Majesty.

"Laifu, how long has it been?"

"Back to Your Majesty, it's been almost half an hour." After hearing the voice of the person in front of him, Laifu quickly gathered his mind and replied respectfully.

"So long? Lift me up. ”

"Yes, the old slave obeys."

"The chess board is placed here, don't move." After getting up, Qi Heng commanded.

"Yes." Rifle nodded.

It seems that I will have to find a time to inform the maids and eunuchs who are responsible for cleaning the palace today.

"I'm hungry, go and pass the meal."

"Yes."

After Laifu went out, Qi Heng raised his feet and walked to the inner room of the hall.

It didn't take long for the dark one he had sent out to appear behind him like a ghost and kneel.

"Delivered?"

"Yes."

"Well, just send it. Anything else? Qi Heng saw that Dark One didn't leave directly, and knelt on the ground without moving, and couldn't help but speak.

"When my subordinates went to deliver the letter, I heard something by the way."

"Oh?"

With a dark expression, he conveyed to Qi Heng word for word the words he heard before standing at the door of the White Mansion and preparing to stuff the letter.

"Gone?"

"It's gone." As soon as he opened his mouth, he hesitated in his heart.

Did His Majesty think it was a very honorable thing for him to accidentally overhear the conversation between the husband and wife, and he still disliked him for not listening long enough?

"I know, go down." There was a slight rise in Qi Heng's voice.

He had asked Master Jing'an of Chong'an Temple about something before.

I still remember that Master Jing'an's reply at that time was the origin and extinction of fate, and it has its own destiny, conforming to the time of the day, and going with the flow.

Now it seems that it is really time to adapt to the times.

He has always been optimistic about Lin Shenyuan, a young man.

I feel that he is calm and introverted, has strength and connotation, knows the world but is not sophisticated, and he also has a saying in front of him, and he will not be like other Wenchen.

He was faithful.

This is true for the Great Qi Kingdom, for the Son of Heaven, for his family, and for his wife.

With such a person around him, Qi Heng is naturally in a good mood.

Now he heard the news from the secret guard that Lin Shenyuan's wife, that is, the woman who has changed a lot before and after, still has such a bottom-up and open-mindedness, which really makes him very satisfied.

He was naturally satisfied with such a lady by his good minister's side.

"Yes."

Not long after the darkness retreated, Laifu's voice sounded outside.

"Your Majesty, the people from the imperial dining room have arrived."

"I know, pass."

"Yes."

Laifu was standing aside and was busy preparing vegetables for His Majesty, when he suddenly heard His Majesty's voice sound again.

"What's the news from the Yong'an Hou Mansion lately?"

"Yong'an Hou Mansion? Your Majesty, what do you mean? Laifu was stunned.

It's so decent, why did Your Majesty suddenly remember to ask about the situation of the Yong'an Hou Mansion?

Is His Majesty taking a fancy to the son of the Hou Mansion? Or does Your Majesty miss the old Lord of Qingying?

"All."

"Back to Your Majesty, this old slave doesn't know very well. The old slave only knew that the son of the Hou Mansion had a bad time with Wen Linlang before, and now he is doing a beautiful errand. ”

"Pretty? It's just a loose official, so why do he need to do things? ”

Qi Heng's voice was calm, but Laifu, who had served him for many years, heard a trace of displeasure from his words.

What does Your Majesty mean that the prince of the Hou Mansion is too big-hearted, unsatisfied with the status quo, and deliberately squeezes people into the officialdom to annoy him?

"Where's the green cherry blossom?"

Laifu was thinking in his heart, when he heard Qi Heng ask about Gu Qingying again, and hurriedly replied.

"It is said that the county lord of Qingying and Yong'an Hou get along well, that is...... It's just that Mrs. Hou Yongan and Mrs. Hou don't like it, and she has made trouble a few times. ”

"Well, if I'm not mistaken, Mrs. Yong'an Hou is from the Zhao family, right?"

"Your Majesty said yes. It's just that since Mrs. Yong'an Hou came out of the cabinet, she has broken off her relationship with the Zhao family. Rifle said.

It's a broken relationship, not a broken connection.

In other words, today's Mrs. Yong'an Hou has nothing to do with the Zhao family.

"Heh, I can't get on the stage." Qi Heng snorted coldly, and used chopsticks to pick up another thinly sliced piece of elbow meat.

Although the weather has been a little hot lately, strangely enough, his appetite is much better than before.

In the past, when it was hot, he had long lost his appetite when he saw things like elbows.

But now, he actually has some food.

The people of the Zhao family proposed a modified version of the bow and crossbow, and he also tried to use it once, and the effect was really good.

Then he asked a few generals, and those who had used them also nodded yes.

It's just that compared with bows and arrows, bows and crossbows also have advantages and disadvantages.

However, this did not affect Qi Heng's decision to order the people from various departments such as the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Households, and the Weapons Battalion to build some bows and crossbows.

Since it is easy to use, it is natural to promote it.

As for how to eliminate the strengths and weaknesses, that is the matter of those generals.

As long as the combination is reasonable when fighting, these are not problems.

The war with the tortoiseshell country is a matter of time, and I don't know what the effect of this crossbow will be when it is on the battlefield.

"What about the end of Zhao? How did he behave after entering the barracks? ”

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten? The son of the Zhao family is now working under the command of Camp Chief Lin. ”

"Oh, too." Qi Heng nodded.

Yes, after going around for a long time, it turned out to be Lin Shenyuan's body again.

I heard that the unlearned and unskilled kid of the Zhao family still walks birds and teases dogs in the barracks, but Lin Shenyuan has been indulging him.

That's what it says on the fold, but Qi Heng doesn't think so.

In contrast, he still believed in Lin Shenyuan more.

Lin Shenyuan is the thorn head battalion commander in those folds, not to mention the soldiers under him.

But the battalion commander of the thorn head on the fold led people to catch the spies of the tortoiseshell country as quickly as possible.

This is very curious.

If he has time, he should go to the Kyoto camp to see it himself.

"There is also a girl in the Zhao family, named Zhao Ranran? Haven't you been out yet? ”

"Yes." Laifu suppressed the shock in his heart and nodded in response.

What's wrong with Your Majesty today, you are so leisurely and relaxed, and you have begun to inquire into the private affairs of your courtiers' family?

"She is good friends with Lin Shenyuan's wife?"

"This old slave doesn't know."

"Hmm." Qi Heng nodded and stopped asking.

Yes, he also got the news from the Dark Guard.

It's good that this old man knows so much.

The kid of the Zhao family is so skinny, and I don't know how the daughter of the Zhao family is?

But if you can be good friends with Lin Shenyuan's wife, you think it's also a good character.

The Zhao family is loyal, and the daughter of the Zhao family has not left the cabinet, if there is a good candidate, he, as His Majesty, does not mind helping to point out a marriage or something.

If you can let the daughter of the Zhao family marry into the royal family, it seems that it is not bad?

It's just that among his sons, who will be more suitable?

Laifu, who was standing on the side, looked at His Majesty's expression with a slight change, and some random thoughts came out for a while.

Your Majesty shouldn't be the daughter of the Zhao family, right?

This...... Speaking of which, His Majesty has indeed not rushed to the harem for several years.
