Chapter 170: Marquis Xiao guards the eastern border

When he came out of the palace, Su Li felt that his whole body was in a daze, as if he had lost his strength all over his body, and he couldn't find a fulcrum.

Su Qi looked at his son-in-law from a distance, and unexpectedly felt lonely, he only saw such a look on his son when he left home.

Su Li felt that he was going to fall down in the next second, and he couldn't breathe for that breath in his heart, until he was framed, he felt that his feet were still on the ground, he turned his head to save and saw Su Qi's worried expression, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, "Have you found out?" Who sent that letter to Gao Qing? ”

With Su Qi's denial, the last bit of hope in Su Qi was also wiped out, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, staining the white robe, Su Qi couldn't react, so he could only hold the person up.

Su Li pushed him away and said weakly: "Go, go quickly, send them a message, Xiao Ye is going to send Marquis Xiao to guard the eastern border." ”

Su Qi rarely saw his son-in-law so emotional, but he was still stunned.

"Go, go!"

"Childe." Su Qi looked at him steadily, "If it's really Marquis Xiao, even if you tell them, they have their own things to do, and you are enemies." ”

Su Li fell silent, his face was pale, and his already emaciated figure became even thinner because of this snowstorm, Su Qi's mind was not so transparent, and he couldn't do anything, so he could only listen to him, "Childe, what happened?" ”

It was usually Su Li's silence, he let go of Su Qi's hand and walked out slowly, "You go back, I'll go to the Wushushe to see Jingming." ”

Su begged for help, but still spoke, "Childe, everyone knows your identity, you are now a scholar, there is no place like a study, you will cause trouble for Jingming if you go." ”

He actually forgot about it, smiled self-deprecatingly, looked in the direction around him, and chose a random path, "Then go back." ”

Su Qi followed him unhurriedly, this road will only get farther and farther away from home, but it is also farther and farther away from Miyagi, he doesn't know where his son-in-law is going, he can only follow.

Su Li unconsciously walked to the pavilion on the outskirts, which was the pavilion he came to give him when Xiao Yuanjun set out on the expedition, and he gave him a vast map of the country at that time, and he never came back.

He sat in the pavilion, his eyes distracted, his hand still trembling slightly, the hand that broke the ink strip, he couldn't control it.

"Su Li, you are my advisor, what do you say I should do about this?"

That was the first time, he didn't give him advice, he didn't even speak, Xiao Ye was not annoyed, and suddenly asked him, "There is no one to guard the eastern border, who do you think is more appropriate?" ”

His mind was in a mess at that time, and he had a vague premonition in his heart, but it was still not visible on his face.

"Why don't you send Marquis Xiao there?"

"Bang", the glass cup in his hand fell in response, he looked up suddenly, and saw Xiao Zhi's confident appearance, and there was a feeling of emptiness in his heart for a moment, "You seem to be scared?" “

He didn't know what to say, "Why did Your Majesty suddenly do this?" ”

He has been honest with each other, and Xiao Ye does not avoid him now, "The edict is in the hands of the princess, the people of the world don't know who the emperor's eldest son is, as long as the edict is in hand, the dominance will be in our hands, we can't go out of Beijing, but we can lure them into Beijing, as for the other ......"

As for the rest, Xiao Ye didn't say it, he also knew that when the time came, no matter which path the princess and they chose to take, it would be wrong, just thinking that they had forced Xiao Ye to a dead end at the beginning, and now Xiao Ye has also forced them to a dead end step by step, and there is no choice.

Even if he went to the southwest to deliver the news, it would be useless, Xiao Ye would send someone to spread the news as soon as possible, and for the justified reason, Xiao Houye would not even have a reason to refuse.

It's just why did things come to this point? Where is out of his control, he doesn't know, who is the person who sent the message to Gao Qing, he doesn't know, and he doesn't know what the other party's purpose is? Is it the same as him? He fell into confusion, and for the first time he had a feeling of powerlessness.

He sat for a long time, and only got up to leave when it was completely dark, and Su Qi followed behind him, feeling heavy.

When the son left home, he looked so lonely, he didn't eat or drink at that time, and the whole person became more and more silent, and then he came to Kyoto alone, and lived a lot of hard lives, but the strange thing was that there was a smile on his face, he knew that it was because it was the Ye girl in the study, and he also knew that the girl had promised to marry someone, he couldn't find the words to comfort his son, so he could only follow silently.

Su Li thought that the world was impermanent, and he was stupid enough to think that everything was in his hands, but in the end, he found that he was no more than a chess piece in the hands of others, he forced himself to put it down, and stubbornly walked on this road.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and walked towards the study, the more he leaned on the scriptures, the softer his face became, and Su Qi's eyebrows were dyed a little depressed, "Childe? ”

Su Li stopped and didn't turn around, "Just let me go, I'm also a person." ”

"I haven't taught today, I'll come back after giving Jingming a lesson."

Su Qi was silent, watching his figure get farther and farther away, although his back was still so lonely, but his steps were not so heavy, he put all his salvation on that child, it was salvation, and it was all his expectations, his son-in-law was just a person from beginning to end.

The further you go, the faster the snow melts, and the scenery of the west is very different from that of the southwest.

The recovery of the western border is still a victory, it cannot be said that it is recovered, it can only be said that it is returned, they go all the way, the soldiers in the west have already heard the news, they have already surrendered after checking the Qinwang order, in fact, they do not check the Qinwang order, but they will most likely be obedient, Xiao Yu'an has grown up in the west, and Xiao Houye has also seemed to be the general of the western border, which is naturally much easier than the southwest.

However, the smoother it became, the more panicked several people became, and there was an inexplicable feeling that the mountain rain was about to come and the wind was full of buildings.

Even the laughter in the hall couldn't dispel half of the worries in their hearts, and Seventeen pulled Yiren to find Xiao Yu'an, who was sitting alone in the back mountain, and handed him the wine jug in his hand, "Why don't you drink together?" ”

Xiao Yu'an took the flask and took two sips in a sullen voice, he now also loves this cheap burning knife spirit, patted the position next to him, and motioned for them to sit down, "I've always been restless these days, and I always feel that something big is about to happen." ”

Seventeen pulled Yiren to sit in the middle, and when he heard his words, he was pleasantly surprised: "Coincidentally, the little lady and I have also felt this way these days." ”

Ito touched him with his elbow to signal him not to talk, and Seventeen made a gesture of covering his mouth with his hand, making both of them laugh.

Seventeen then put his mind at ease, lay down at will, and by the way, pulled Yiren down to lie down, his head was pillowed on his arm, seeing this, Xiao Yu'an also lay down, the sky was full of stars, occasionally meteors slipped down, miraculously, the depression in his heart disappeared.

"See, when you feel that you can't bear it, you look up at the sky, you tell yourself that you are just an insignificant star, a cloud, and you will find that you are nothing, there is no need to care so much."

Others comfort themselves to encourage themselves, don't be presumptuous, but Seventeen is anyway, the strange thing is that it is useful, maybe this is the reason why he is not as chic as Seventeen, he can always find various reasons to let himself go.
