181, the prime minister resigned and traveled away
Qi Dao stood straight in place.
Seeing that the army escorting Jiang Yu's carriage disappeared from sight, Qi Dao slowly retracted his gaze, and only cold and violent eyes remained.
He took the long sword handed over by his deputy, and someone had already gone to hold his armor, and the horse had already pulled it over.
Qi Dao divided half of the army to escort Jiang Yin, afraid that she would not be safe, now he was all equipped, turned over and went straight to the mountain, and the rest of the army followed him and marched all the way.
The national prestige of the Great Jin Dynasty is not ruined in this way, and the benevolence of the Great Jin Dynasty should not be used in this way.
The inner ghost in Dingcheng has not yet been found, and it may be some kind of people who seem to be sad or kind.
Their hearts are towards the east, and when the dust settles, they will find out one by one and kill them all!
Qi Dao was extremely irritable when he thought that Jiang Yu had almost fallen into a dangerous place when he stayed with him, and said that he would catch up with her quickly and solve it quickly!
ยท
The road back to Shengjing did not stop much.
After arriving in Jicheng, the roads behind were basically cities that had been occupied by the subjects of the Great Jin Dynasty, and the development was very stable, and the danger had been lifted.
But Jiang Yu still didn't stay, or rather, the army escorting Jiang Yu didn't let her stay.
According to Qi Dao's instructions, they wanted to send Jiang Yu back to Shengjing as quickly as possible.
In Qi Dao's eyes, only Sheng Jing, only Jiang Wan and Qi Ying are really safe places.
On the way back to Shengjing after being twisted like this, Jiang Yu has always behaved calmly.
Even if she had already arrived in Shengjing, on the way to the palace, she was just thinking about Qi Dao making an unauthorized decision, and he wouldn't talk to him for a month after he came back.
After seeing Qi Ying and Jiang Wan, Jiang Yu calmly told the matter of Dingcheng, it was too late to send troops now, it happened in an instant, Qi Dao went to suppress it, and there were only two results.
But everyone subconsciously chose the good result.
Qi Dao is a person with battlefield experience, he has already won so many battles, how big a wave can a little remnant of Dongshu make?
Even Jiang Wan and Qi Ying spoke to her in a relaxed tone, saying that when Qi Dao came back, they would hold a reception banquet together.
Jiang Yu returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion in a groggy manner, and after saying a few words to Shen Linglong, he fell into bed and slept in the dark.
When I woke up again, my heart seemed empty.
Everyone thought that Qi Dao was fine, but Jiang Yu remembered his last smile, and the uneasiness in his heart was layered on top of each other.
He must have been hiding something, are Dongshu's remnants really vulnerable?
Jiang Ying didn't want to think about it.
As soon as she came back, Jiang Tingye jumped up and said about asking for grace in front of the emperor, Shen Linglong blushed and said that he was not ashamed, Jiang Tingye was happy and shy, and he had to wait for Jiang Yu to nod.
Shengjing is full of happy events.
Jiang Ying was infected by Jiang Tingye's emotions, and also laughed, saying that I am relieved to hand over Linglong to you, but if she is wronged, the Prime Minister's Mansion will not let you go.
Jiang Tingye cheered, seeing that Jiang Yu had just returned to Shengjing, and now that he and Shen Linglong were married, Jiang Tingye dragged her to the street to play even more unscrupulously.
Shen Linglong saw that Jiang Yu was in a bad state, and originally didn't want to go, but Lu Ran came over with big and small court matters, and Jiang Tingye and her were in the way here, so they couldn't do it, so they still went out with Jiang Tingye.
Jiang Ying glanced at Lu Ran and knew that he was only busy after he came back.
But fortunately, yesterday she was given time to breathe, and she slept well, although she still had a headache, and the work of the carriage and horses was not relieved at all, and it was a little better than coming back to the door with a bunch of things.
Lu Ran followed her all the way to the study, things were piled up on the table, but he didn't say anything about the court, and after sitting down, he asked her if she was not feeling well.
Jiang Yu raised his eyes and pulled out a smile: "It's too far to come back all the way, and the carriage is running in a hurry, and it hasn't slowed down yet." After speaking, seeing that Lu Ran was still looking at him, he turned into a wry smile again, and his mouth was not stiff, "Is it so obvious?" โ
Isn't that obvious?
Obviously, everyone had to be happy in front of her, for fear of making any bad speculations, and Jiang Yu's illness that had finally recovered flared up again.
But only Jiang Yu herself knows that she will not get sick in the future.
That's her heart disease.
Qi Dao has been untied for her, she is ready, after returning to Shengjing, she will start a new life with him and forget all the unpleasantness of the past.
But now that she is back, Qi Dao, who is far away in Dingcheng, doesn't know what the situation is.
Lu Ran was silent for a while, and said softly, "You should believe him." โ
Jiang Ying lowered his eyes: "I believe it." โ
He'll be back.
Sheng Jing, it seems like a beautiful appointment.
Jiang Yu fell into deep thought again, Lu Ran sat for a while and then stood up, and let him take back a bunch of things he had brought with him.
Jiang Yu still wanted to say that she was okay and could handle it, but Lu Ran glanced at her and persuaded her softly: "Rest for a few more days, your brain and heart are messed up, how can you handle things well?" Don't worry, I'll take it for you, and I'll come back when you're better. โ
After that, he waved his hand and left.
Jiang Yu didn't have a hard mouth, and he didn't catch up.
She sat alone in the study, and the tea sent by Yibo went from steaming hot to cooling, and Jiang Yu didn't take a sip.
His thoughts drifted far, far away, and it took a long time for Jiang Yu to get up and walk outside.
She walked to the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion and stopped, and when she raised her eyes, she could see the Jingwang Mansion opposite.
At this moment, she suddenly felt a little emotional, when she just returned to Shengjing from the Nine Immortals, Qi Ying's original intention was to let her and Qi Dao untie the knot.
Now that the knot has been resolved, the owner of the mansion opposite doesn't know when he can.
She's just waiting here.
ยท
Returning to Shengjing for half a month, Jiang Ying returned to the court.
In this expedition to Dongshu, Jiang Yu once again justified the Jiang family's skills, and she was already sitting well in the prime minister.
There was no figure in the court that he wanted to see, and every time Jiang Yu stopped and stared, he wondered if the next moment, his news would reach the Golden Pool Palace.
Today's discussion of politics, and talking about the establishment of a private school teaching earlier, Qi Ying means that it can be handled, Jiang Ying specially elected Shen Linglong, so that she went from being a maid in the Prime Minister's Mansion to being told by the emperor, and had the title of an eight-rank female official.
Although it is not a real job, but it is also a serious person who eats royal meals and receives royal silver, Jiang Yi came out of the Jinchi Hall with good news, and just went down two steps, he saw a little eunuch running from afar, looking panicked, and fell when he went up the stairs, very embarrassed.
What else can Sheng Jing have such alarming news now?
Jiang Yu stopped, watched the little eunuch come to his front to say goodbye, and stumbled towards the Golden Pond Palace.
Jiang Yu clenched his hands and kept up with the little eunuch's pace.
She unconsciously walked a few steps quickly, and as soon as she arrived at the gate of the hall where she had just come out, she heard Qi Ying's angry voice from inside: "Find!" Nothing, you're going to tell me this?! โ
Jiang Yu paused, feeling that his brain was a little buzzing.
Why is Qi Ying so angry?
Something happened to Dingcheng?
She didn't care about any etiquette rules at this time, she gritted her teeth and went straight in, Qi Ying's pupils trembled when she saw Jiang Ying who came back, he hadn't digested the news himself, and what he was most afraid of at this time was to face Jiang Ying.
The little eunuch knelt on the ground and didn't dare to cry, but the atmosphere in the hall was so sad that even Changzhong lowered his head and raised his hand to wipe a handful of tears.
Jiang Yu stood still, she didn't step forward, and she didn't know how pale her face was at the moment, her lips trembled for a long time, and she couldn't ask a word.
"Jiang Yu." Qi Ying called her.
But in the end, I didn't know how to speak.
Jiang Ying's gaze moved from Qi Ying's face to the little eunuch kneeling on the ground, and then slowly raised it again and looked at Qi Ying: "Qi Dao him... โ
Qi Ying clenched her fists and took a deep breath: "Stay in the vanguard of Dingcheng to quell the chaos. The whole army was annihilated. โ
ยท
Seven days have passed.
In those seven days, no other news came back.
Qi Dao's body was not found.
There is no news of Qidao for half a day.
Jozan is very large, and I heard that the army and the remnants of Dongshu fought in the mountain for two days that day.
The word annihilation is not particularly accurate.
It should be all the same.
There are many cliffs in Dingshan, and the news that came back suspected that Qi Dao was injured and fell off the cliff, so the body was never found.
Qi Ying doesn't believe it, if you want to see people in life and die, you have to see corpses, and if you can't see a corpse for a day, you will definitely not mourn.
Ming Qiang disappeared so completely back then, isn't she still alive in the end?
That's what everyone wants.
But the Jingwang Mansion in Shangjing is still completely quiet.
Jiang Yu didn't cry.
After knowing what happened from Qi Ying's mouth that day, she behaved stronger than everyone thought.
Also calmer than everyone else.
After she confirmed with the little eunuch again and again, she saluted Qi Ying and walked back to the Prime Minister's Mansion by herself.
I didn't faint on the road, and I didn't cry out loud or cry.
She walked back step by step, just like every time she went home.
When she returned to the house, she also told Shen Linglong about Qi Ying's grace, and when she told her that she would also be a famous female official in the future, she choked up a little, but she stopped her tone in time, and Shen Linglong didn't hear it.
When I really knew that something was wrong, it was when Jiang Tingye hurried to the house in the evening.
At first, Shen Linglong thought that Jiang Tingye was going to sneak out of the house to play with him again, but when she struggled to break away from Jiang Tingye's arms and saw his red eyes, Shen Linglong chuckled in her heart, and softened her body to touch the corners of his eyes: "What's wrong?" โ
Jiang Tingye's voice was hoarse, and he muttered, "Something happened in Dingcheng. Qi Dao him. โ
Shen Linglong was stunned.
Jiang Tingye saw her reaction and became nervous: "Is it that Sister Jiang also has an accident?!" โ
Shen Linglong shook her head with difficulty, and told Jiang Tingye about Jiang Yu's situation, and Jiang Tingye's eyes turned even redder: "It's better to cry." โ
The more you can't cry, the more you run away, and the more you will be in pain when the truth strikes.
Shen Linglong's heart was beating so hard that she couldn't rest assured, so she asked Jiang Tingye to wait for her and go towards Jiang Ling's room by herself.
She was not in the house, and Shen Linglong saw Jiang Yu in the study.
She was dressed in a robe, thin and thin, and the candlelight was soft on her face, no different from usual.
Shen Linglong stood still at the door, looking at Jiang Ying, and only felt distressed.
Sensing the sight, Jiang Yu raised her eyes to look at her: "Linglong? What's wrong? โ
Shen Linglong pursed her lips, shook her head slightly, and after a while, she asked again: "Prime Minister, are you okay?" โ
Jiang Yu must have known that she already knew about Qi Dao before she came to ask like this.
But she just pretended to smile lightly: "Why do you ask that?" I'm fine. โ
Shen Linglong's fingers slowly tightened: "Lord Wang, he... โ
"He's okay too!" Jiang Yu suddenly became louder, and when she mentioned Qi Dao, her emotions were vented.
Shen Linglong didn't dare to say any more, she saw that Jiang Ling's emotions that she had tried so hard to restrain were slowly retracting, and soon she took a deep breath and returned to the way she was just now.
She didn't look at Shen Linglong again, but just clenched the fold in her hand to deal with, her fingertips turned white hard, but her voice was extremely gentle: "He told me okay, see you Sheng Jing." โ
He will definitely come back.
If he doesn't come back, then this time, she's going to look for him.
ยท
In the past few days, Jiang Wan has been paying attention to Jiang Yu's actions, and the people who came back said that the prime minister still returns to his home every day after going to court, but he will stop and take a look on the way, and he really doesn't buy anything, but since yesterday, he has found a blacksmith in Shengjing to build a lot of pendants.
Jiang Wan frowned: "Pendant? โ
The person who came to return also brought back a pendant that Jiang Yu wanted by the way, handed it to Jingyue, and then sent it to Jiang Wan.
It is a palm-sized, relatively light piece of iron, made into the appearance of a sword, engraved with "invincible" on one side and "evil is inviolable" on the other.
Jiang Wan flipped through it several times, but she didn't see any special significance in this thing.
"How many of these things did the prime minister make?" Jiang Wan raised her eyes and asked the visitor.
The person who reported replied: "Nearly a thousand." โ
So much?!
Jiang Wan clenched the iron sword in her hand, this thing. It should be related to Qi Dao, but Jiang Yu is doing so much, what is it for?
Some bad guesses and premonitions surfaced in Jiang Wan's heart, she looked at the iron sword in silence, and Jing Yue asked the person to retreat quietly.
After thinking for a long time, Jiang Wan sighed.
Jing Yue stretched out her hand and accepted the iron sword handed over by Jiang Wan: "Niangniang? โ
"It's fine." Jiang Wan stood up and walked towards the room, "No matter what decision she makes, it's okay to hold it alone, no matter how much she pretends to be, she will collapse sooner or later." โ
If Jiang Yu decides, she will stand behind her and support her.
This idea lingered in Jiang Wan's heart for many days without a conclusion, and finally on the day when Jiang Yu asked for nearly a thousand iron swords to be made, he waited for Changzhong to invite someone.
On the way to the Golden Pond Palace, Jiang Wan was already mentally prepared, no matter what Jiang Yu said, she would not be surprised.
Five days later.
There is a missing figure of the legendary female prime minister in the court.
On the road from Shengjing to Dingcheng, there was an extra Jiang girl wearing a white hat.
Along the way, she was kind and charitable, sensible, knowledgeable, and taught everywhere, but no one knew what she looked like, only that she was a legendary woman, and everywhere she went, she would give children an iron sword and tell them a story.
The story of a teenager who is inspired to become a general.
He did it, this iron sword, blessed every subject of the Great Jin.
Some people call her Miss Jiang, and some people call her Mr. Jiang.
Long after she left, there were even rumors among the people that this was the Nine Songs Star in the sky descending to the earth.
The only thing that proved that she had actually been there was an iron sword at the waist of each of the children in the streets and alleys.
She stopped and stopped all the way, and when she arrived at Dingcheng, everything was completely different from when she left.
She bought the house she once lived in with Qi Dao, and rearranged it to its original appearance with the feeling in her memory.
She filled every part of the house with Qi Dao and the things she bought on the street.
In the yard, the flower seeds planted by Jiang Yu have sprouted, and she takes good care of it, and this piece will soon become a flower field.
The branches by the door budded.
The wooden sword hanging on the wall next to the screen in the dormitory had been rotted and chipped, and it looked like it was about to break.
"Invincible"
"Evil is not invaded"
These eight words have become Jiang Yu's spiritual pillar.
She opened a private school in Dingcheng, and the legend of Miss Jiang is still continuing.
She is a woman who shines everywhere and is respected.
Too many enthusiastic aunts wanted to introduce Jiang Cheng to the good men of Dingcheng, but Jiang Cheng politely refused.
Qi Dao's body has never been found, and she has also been to Dingshan, the continuous mountains, too big, if you want to find someone, it is like ascending to the sky, whether there are people living in this mountain range, it is not yet conclusive.
She's already figured it out.
If you can't wait for him, then it's okay to be buried here in a hundred years.
At least the Land of the Dead is not alone.
She has always been strong.
Over the years, she has grown a lot, Jiang Yu thought so, hooked the corners of her lips, and smiled bitterly.
Jiang Yi wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and stood up.
Looking at the sky, it's time to go to class again, leaving the trivial matters in the court, the life in Dingcheng is idle and comfortable, but the heart is empty.
She returned to the house, picked up her hat, glanced at the wooden sword hanging on the wall, and reached out and touched it gently: "See you later." โ
It's like some kind of obsession.
It's like whispering to someone.
Along the way, she persistently wanted his exploits to spread all over this mountain and river.
She also wants his pride to be her pride.
She wanted to tell him in person what he hadn't had time to say at the time, and when they returned to Shengjing, they would start again.
It's like when I first met the Nine Immortals.
Start with each other's names and embrace each other again.
She didn't have time to say these words yet.
I also hate my own hesitation, in this life. I don't know if there's a chance to say it.
The flowers of the Nine Immortals were about to bloom, and if he had come back then, they would have been able to see them now.
She doesn't want to be the prime minister above 10,000 people.
I don't want to be a duplicitous Jiang anymore.
In this life, she has to keep his agreement and wait for him.
No more escaping.
"Said okay Sheng Jing see, and also said that if you don't come back, I won't forgive you for the rest of my life, you lied to me once, I lied to you once, I won't forgive you, I will always be. Waiting for you. โ
Did you hear that?
