Under the lonely dusk, a group of carriages galloped on the way to Jinyang, led by Er Zhuzhao and He Basheng, and Yuan Kuan rode a horse to follow Yuan Ziyou's carriage, waiting for Yuan Ziyou to be summoned at any time.

He Batsheng rode his horse silently, without saying a word, and occasionally turned around, all in the eyes of Er Zhuzhao, he asked jokingly, "Brother, it's been so long, and you haven't forgotten my sister, now that she is the queen, you will die of this heart." I see that there are a lot of beautiful women in this team, or you can pick another one, and I will let the emperor send you. ”

He Batsheng didn't bother to theorize, and glanced at Er Zhuzhao lightly, "If you tell me this, it's the same as me talking to you about the art of war, and it doesn't make sense." After saying that, he grabbed the horse's belly and rushed to the front.

Not to be outdone, Zhu Zhao caught up and shouted, "What is involved in the art of war again, give Lao Tzu soldiers and horses, Lao Tzu must be stronger than that Chen Qingzhi, at least one thousand against ten thousand, not one hundred thousand." ”

He Batsheng said with a smile, "The general of the Zhu Kingdom said that Brother Erzhu led the troops, and one thousand is the limit, as for whether one can be used as ten or one as a hundred, the general did not say it clearly. ”

Seeing him laughing at himself, Er Zhu Zhao was not annoyed, he punched He Batsheng in the back and laughed, "If you kid dares to laugh at me, I can still bear it, Lao Tzu owed you in his last life." But then again, are you still waiting for my sister, every time I ask you, I avoid it, although I have a rough temperament, but looking at the things of this child's affection, it is still transparent, talk to Lao Tzu, anyway, this road is boring. ”

"I'm not here for Brother Erzhu to relieve his boredom, what I'm worried about now is the loss of Luoyang, how to take it back, I haven't thought about anything else." He Batsheng replied.

Er Zhuzhao laughed and said, "You want to take Luoyang back and let my sister return to the palace properly." Look at you kid, needless to say, even fools can see it, aren't you afraid that the little emperor will also see it? ”

He Batsheng turned around and was about to choke back with Er Zhu Zhao, but he happened to see Ying'e in the center of the team open the curtain of the car, put her head out of the car, closed her eyes and breathed deeply in the fragrance of flowers on the side of the road, and the intoxicated look once again caused a ripple in He Batsheng's heart. He watched infatuately, unaware that Erzhu Zhao beside him grabbed his horse's rope and pulled him to the side of the road. Ying'e saw that He Batsheng was looking at herself, smiled embarrassedly, and retracted into the car, fortunately, Yuan Ziyou, who was sitting in the car, was closing his eyes and recuperating, not noticing Ying'e's discomfort.

But it was this smile that made Ho Batsheng feel that he had been blessed by God, and that smile was like the bright sunshine in the sky, with warmth, giving warmth, and he was willing to give his life for this light. Er Zhuzhao was also moved by his brother's infatuation, "Brother, brother, I have never been moved by a woman, and I can't understand your feelings." It's just that my brother saw your look at my sister's expression, and my brother understood, this is what kind of fair lady the literati said, good gentleman. However, my brother still advises you, or find a real woman, one who can sleep next to you, don't think about the moon fishing in the water, my sister only has the emperor in her eyes. ”

He Batsheng smiled bitterly, "Big brother, little brother knows that it is a dream, but it is just a beautiful dream. It's enough to have a dream, the younger brother doesn't want to start a family, so it's good, Cheng Ri is fighting in the south and the north, and he has no fixed place to live, so he doesn't have to delay others. ”

"You kid wants your dream to come true, you kid, hey, you stop, I haven't finished yet." Erzhu Zhao saw that He Batsheng had rushed out of the horse with a whip, and ignored him when he called from behind, and angrily whipped the horse's back fiercely, and chased forward. "You wait for my brother, hey, you don't know that my horse is not as childish as yours."

Ying'e in the carriage heard Er Zhuzhao shouting loudly, and couldn't help but shake her head, but fortunately she didn't alarm Yuan Ziyou, who was closing his eyes and recuperating. Ying'e sat quietly to the side and looked at the man she loved so much in front of her, his tightly knit eyebrows coldly making people feel afraid. Ying'e thought that he should have too many things, she never doubted any of his things, whether his every word was explained or covered up, for her, it was to protect her kindness, and the occasional trace of doubt could not resist a look, a smile, and a kiss from him. Ying'e couldn't help but reach out and want to hold Yuan Ziyou's hand, and the moment her hand touched his sleeve, she quickly retracted it, for fear of waking him up.

Unexpectedly, he was grabbed by Yuan Ziyou with his eyes closed and held it in his hand, "Running around day and night, isn't the queen tired?" ”

Ying'e saw that he had woken up, so she asked softly, "The concubine is not tired, but she is disturbing the emperor's cultivation, is it the concubine." Now that the emperor has woken up, do you want some snacks? ”

Yuan Ziyou shook his head, hugged Ying'e in his arms, and said softly, "Don't move, let me hold you well, only you belong to me." I'm useless, I can't even defend the country, and now I'm going to run away in embarrassment. ”

Ying'e looked at the discouragement in Yuan Ziyou's eyes, the face full of stubble that he didn't want to take care of, looked haggard, in the ten days since he came out of Luoyang, he was tired from being afraid of being besieged, and now he is lost because of the gradual distance from Luoyang. Yuan Ziyou was suffering physically and mentally, and she didn't dare to comfort him, because now only her father could save this crumbling dynasty, and all this was something Yuan Ziyou was unwilling to admit. Young-e knows better than anyone that there will be a fight between her man and her father, as both men have a near-hopeless thirst for power. She comforted, "Your Majesty, stay in Qingshan and don't be afraid of no firewood, that Yuan Hao's ambition is short-sighted, not the appearance of the king, and he relies on Liang Jun, what King Liang wants to get from Da Wei, I'm afraid that Yuan Hao will not promise, the contradiction between the two will soon appear, the emperor doesn't need to worry, we will return to Luoyang soon." ”

A wry smile squeezed out of the corner of Yuan Ziyou's mouth, "Will the queen comfort me, is Kuan'er still serving outside the carriage?" ”

Ying'e nodded, "He has been following, just waiting for the emperor's orders." ”

Yuan Ziyou said to Ying'e, "My muscles and bones are sore, go out and ride a horse with Kuan'er, and the queen will rest first." ”

Ying'e knew that Yuan Ziyou had something to say to Yuan Kuan, so she stopped the carriage, and Xi Yi brought Yuan Ziyou a jujube red horse, named Shu Qi. Yuan Ziyu got on the horse, and his sassy posture made Ying'e look stupid.

Er Zhu Zhao, who had just caught up with He Batsheng in the distance, turned around and saw Yuan Ziyou riding a horse, and mocked He Batsheng, "Just that sick body and bones, don't be afraid to scatter the horse, brother, you go and compare with the emperor, let my blind sister see who is the hero." Seeing that He Batsheng ignored him, he said again, "I know, not only you, but Gao Huan has a daughter-in-law, and he also looks at my sister-in-law drooling." My sister is beautiful, but she is this cowardly emperor in her eyes, I told my uncle a few times, my sister is blind, and my uncle still kicked me. ”

He Batsheng replied, "You said that other people's daughters are blind, can her father not kick you?" Look at the team of men and horses in front, but the army of the king of the party? ”

Er Zhu Zhao fixed his eyes on a big heavenly character entrenched in the dragon on the handsome flag, and he smiled with relief, "Finally look forward to him, otherwise if I meet Liang Jun on this road, I can't send my sister to Jinyang safely, and my uncle really has to kick me to death." ”

He Batsheng replied lightly, "If you meet the Liang army, you really can't show the general's means, our soldiers and horses have 10,000 people, 3,000 more than the 7,000 people, and some of them are not martial." ”

Er Zhu Zhao said stupidly, "When will you change your problem of hurting me, it's a coincidence, Lao Tzu can't hear you hurt me for a day, and I'm still in a hurry, it's really fucking cheap." ”

Yuan Tianmu heard Er Zhu Zhao's laughter and scolding, rode forward to meet you, and after the convergence, he looked at Yuan Ziyou on horseback, lowered his head and touched the horsehair of the BMW under his crotch, and said to Er Zhu Zhao, "The general of the Zhu Kingdom asked this king to come to meet you, just because he was afraid that you would be ambushed by the rebel army, how could he dare to show his head like this." ”

Er Zhuzhao said disdainfully, "What are you afraid of, just the emperor's embarrassed appearance, who can recognize his identity." I don't know what instructions my uncle asked the king of Shangdang to bring, did he kill this little emperor halfway? ”

Yuan Tianmu said lightly, "General Erzhu is talking nonsense again, the princess has been missing the queen mother day and night recently, and she has been lingering on the sickbed, and she will be better when she sees the queen, so General Zhu Guo ordered me to wait for a good escort and strive to arrive in Jinyang as soon as possible." After answering, "I'll go and ask the emperor for peace, and you can rest for a while." Riding a horse in front of Yuan Ziyou, although he still held a grudge against Yuan Ziyou for killing him that day, he still had a trace of the courtesy of a monarch and a minister in his heart, and conveyed Er Zhurong's meaning after giving a courtesy to Yuan Ziyou. Yuan Ziyou was helpless at this time, except to rely on Er Zhurong to recover the lost territory, he had no choice but to get up and go to Jinyang non-stop according to his orders.

After running for two days in a row, the army rested and rectified at the post station in Changzi County, Yuan Kuan personally sent the meal to Yuan Ziyou with a meal in his hand, and saw that only Zhang Haosong was waiting, leaning over and crying, "The minister is useless, watching the emperor run around for days, the minister's heart is very painful, but there is nothing he can do." If my father is here, I will be able to share the emperor's worries, but the minister is really incompetent. ”

Yuan Ziyou saw his nephew mention Yuan Zizhi, his heart was full of sadness, how could he not miss Yuan Zizhi, how many times in his dreams, he saw the eldest brother with a sharp sword in his body, standing in front of him covered in blood, looking at him quietly, with reluctance and worry in his eyes. After waking up from the dream, the hatred for Er Zhurong was like a bone-eating worm, eating at his bone marrow and making it difficult for him to sleep. "Calm down, what does this have to do with you, I'm incompetent. I actually ignored that these 7,000 people and horses can conquer the city like no one, if I have a capable person like Chen Qingzhi, why worry about the world? ”

"The emperor's dragon body is important, Luoyang is only temporarily lost, and he will go back soon." Yuan Kuan said with relief.

"Soon? I also hope that this will not be more than a few months soon, but you know that Jinyang is a place I don't want to stay in for a day. ”

Yuan Kuan turned around and looked around, only to see that Zhang Haosong had withdrawn from the house, closed the door, and guarded outside, before he said in a low voice, "The minister has already instructed Li Yu to select more than a dozen beauties from Qinglou to pretend to be palace maids to raise in the palace. ”

Yuan Ziyou praised his head, "Yes, you did a good job in this matter." Let Yuan Hao help me watch this Luoyang first, and I will go back soon. ”

Yuan Kuan continued, "When I came to Luoyang, Er Zhurong ordered Fei Mu to be brought back, I am afraid that he will ask when he arrives in Jinyang. ”

"This time, I will plan to let Fei Mu ask himself to stay in Luoyang, what can Er Zhu Rong say."

Yuan Kuan stepped forward and said softly, "Heyin Tu Na Fei Mu has a lot of hatred, but it is inconvenient for the emperor to kill him, now let Yuan Hao do it, Er Zhurong will inevitably take revenge, the emperor is killing two birds with one stone." ”

Yuan Ziyou's face changed slightly, "When Kuan'er grows up, he will draw inferences from each other, I think he will be more assertive." ”

Yuan Kuan was so frightened that he knelt on the ground with his knees, "The emperor is clear, the minister has never had a rebellious heart, Er Zhurong had intended to remind the minister, but the minister sternly refused." In this life, I only want to be a loyal dog of the emperor and guard the gate for the emperor. ”

Yuan Ziyou turned to comfort, "Kuan'er is too worried, I praise you for growing up, and your thoughts are becoming more and more thoughtful." You are so devoted to me, I am worried that you are too obvious and make Er Zhurong wary of you, after all, you have lived in Jinyang for a long time, and it is better to be careful in everything. And you have to get along well with your wife, she is pregnant now, let her do everything. ”

Yuan Kuan understood Yuan Ziyou's suspicions, and looked at Yuan Ziyou with a sincere face, "Your Majesty, the minister has already told his wife that if this fetus is a girl, it will be fine, and if it is a boy, it will be sent outside to raise, and it will only be called a girl." ”

"What? Why did you do this, and what did you make your wife think? Yuan Ziyu asked repeatedly.

"The emperor can rest assured, Qingjiao is different, she really understands me and understands my thoughts, she will not mention it to anyone. Between me and her father, she would only stand by me and support me with all her might, even if it betrayed her father. Yuan Kuan earnestly stated how good Qingzhu was, and he seemed to be afraid that Yuan Ziyu would not be able to understand it, so he gave several examples in a row to prove it.

Yuan Ziyou listened to the trivial matters between their husband and wife, and looked at Ying'e's room outside the window in dismay, and he asked himself again and again in his heart if it was really time for him and Er Zhurong to raise their swords against each other, would she still be on his side like the gold caster that day. He looked at Yuan Kuan's eyebrows dancing and depicted the gentle and virtuous lady of Qingjiao, and recalled in his mind Ying'e's indifferent demeanor when she killed the little eunuch outside the bamboo house, and pointed to his nose and said that this country was given to him by Er Zhurong. His heart gradually became cold again, he began to wonder whether it was right or wrong to change the Buddha statue, his mind was confused and he couldn't hear Yuan Kuan's words clearly, restlessness permeated his whole body, he waved his hand to let Yuan Kuan retreat, his headache was unbearable, he began to roll on the couch. Zhang Haosong hurriedly pushed the door and saw his painful condition, so frightened that he hurriedly shouted to the imperial doctor, alarming the concubine Zheng, Ying'e and Qihua in the wing room over there, and everyone gathered outside the house to wait anxiously for the result of the imperial doctor.
