After Xiao Xin fell asleep, Xiao Jingning closed his eyes and recalled the memories that had been long ago.

When she was depressed when she was married, among the envoys who married her was Yan Yujin, the son of Uncle Yanguo, he told her that Xiao Jingrui was sometimes in Nanchu, and if you wanted to be a big beam, you could find Xiao Jingrui to talk to her.

Yan Yujin is a very good talker, although Xiao Jingning is depressed, but he is also in a much better mood by him. Regarding this battle, Yan Yujin has mentioned it, but he mainly mentioned the imperial envoy who was mentioned in the history books, Yan Guo's uncle Yan Que. At that time, the battle was not recorded in great detail, and the March Scimitar was not named. And Xun Ruolan is indeed a person who doesn't like to read anything except books, so she really doesn't know.

There are too many people who have been submerged by history, like Yan Que, when he was twenty years old, he was just the son of a court master, and he did not have an official body, so he didn't need to come forward. But he still disregarded the danger to his life, and asked himself to go to the enemy country at that time, and went deep into the enemy camp alone, with a sword and axe without retreating or fearing, and the enemy generals were speechless, and successfully separated the allied enemy countries, so that Daliang could get a respite and finally get out of the crisis.

He followed his father's example and vowed to be a good envoy like his father, and he did so.

However, such an outstanding Yanhou, because of the emperor's suspicion, asked the immortals and asked not to ask about the world, and only one court envoy was left in the history books, and he didn't even leave his name.

March scimitar.

Xiao Jingning silently read these four heavy words, remembering those people he had seen, and his heart was even more melancholy.

Father's ...... Father......

Even if she is not, she has always been pampered, except for the matter of kissing, Xiao Xuan is really obedient to her. As a princess of a country, since she enjoys this honor, she should do her duty, and this matter is indeed her willfulness.

It's a pity that she didn't understand at the time, if she accepted it calmly, maybe she could still have a final relationship with her father, right?

This Xiao Jingning had mixed tastes, and the palace governor Lin Wangfu couldn't sleep all night.

Since Xiao Pingzhang went to court, Meng Qianxue began to prepare for the expedition, Xiao Pingjing learned the news brought by Tuoba Yu last night from her mouth, and immediately stepped into the study and turned out the map and began to deduce, until Xiao Pingzhang returned home in the evening, Xiao Pingjing immediately said to him: "Big brother, I will go with you." ”

Xiao Pingzhang looked at this younger brother who had been able to stabilize before the big event, and said solemnly: "Pingjing, I know that you are also worried about your father, but please believe in the eldest brother, the eldest brother will definitely bring his father back well." ”

Xiao Pingjing said: "Big brother, I won't hold back, I can come up with ideas." ”

"Of course, the eldest brother knows Pingjing's ability, and he is no worse than the eldest brother." Xiao Pingzhang shook his head with a smile, "Now that the situation is grim for my father, although it is speculated that he should be able to rush to help, but in case, once something happens, there will be only Pingjing left in the Changlin Palace." ”

Xiao Pingjing said: "Big brother, if there is really a case, can Pingjing'an live alone?" ”

Xiao Pingzhang patted Xiao Pingjing on the shoulder with a smile, but said a meaningful sentence: "But Pingjing, although the king is generous and loving, but as a minister, some conventions should be kept." Now your sister-in-law will go with me, if you go with me, then the Jinling Changlin Mansion will only be an empty mansion. ”

Xiao Pingjing couldn't believe it, of course he knew what this so-called convention meant. Throughout the ages, military generals have led troops outside, intentionally or unintentionally, they will always leave their families in the capital, and the Son of Heaven understands it under his nose, but he still can't accept staying in Jinling like this at this time.

"Now that my father is in danger, Your Majesty ......"

"Your Majesty will understand, and so will the courtiers now." Xiao Pingzhang interrupted him, "What about it?" The Changlin Mansion has been able to come to this day safely and steadily, dodging open guns and arrows again and again, although it has the trust of the king, it is also inseparable from our cautious words and deeds. There are some obvious omissions, which can be avoided in advance, and should be avoided as much as possible. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Pingjing suddenly wilted: "Oh, I know......"

"Alright, Pingjing." Looking at his younger brother who was wilting like this, Xiao Pingzhang said with a smile: "I know you're worried, but don't you still believe in your eldest brother?" ”

"Naturally, I believe." Xiao Pingjing is still sluggish, and he doesn't even speak as lively as before, "It's just that I feel uncomfortable thinking that you are all fighting outside, and I can't do anything here." ”

"Even if we are not in one place, our hearts are together, as long as you are good here, we can fight outside and feel at ease." Xiao Pingzhang nodded and said with relief: "Pingjing, I've grown up." ”

The main camp of King Changlin was surrounded, the border defense may be lost, and Xiao Xin's heart was also very anxious, so after Xiao Pingzhang said that the ministers were speechless, he immediately took the golden talisman and gave it to Xiao Pingzhang, allowing him to act cheaply, and the cabinet did not dare to delay with Xiao Xin's order, and it took only two days to prepare Xiao Pingzhang for the expedition.

On this day, Xiao Xin led his ministers to see each other off at the city gate, and said to Xiao Pingzhang, who was kneeling in battle armor to say goodbye to him: "Pingzhang, the battle ahead is unknown, the battlefield is dangerous, and the sword has no eyes, you just have to concentrate on the war, and there is food in the rear of the capital." When the war subsides in the future, I will see Brother Wang and you, and both of you will return safely, do you remember? ”

Xiao Pingzhang raised his head, held back the sourness in his chest, and said with tears: "With Your Majesty as my Changlin's backing, this battle will be won." ”

After the salute got up, Xiao Pingzhang turned around and flew in front of the military formation, and glanced at Xiao Pingjing, who came to see him off in the crowd, bowed slightly, and immediately led the army to leave Jinling and head towards the north.

Watching the army move farther and farther, the corners of Xiao Pingjing's eyes blurred: "Father, eldest brother and sister-in-law, you must return safely." ”

At this time, someone patted him on the shoulder, raised his eyes, but it was Xiao Yuanqi, who also watched the army go away, and said to Xiao Pingjing: "Pingjing, don't worry, Uncle Wang and Brother Pingzhang will definitely return triumphantly." ”

Xiao Pingjing nodded and smiled: "Yuan Qi, accept your auspicious words." ”

Looking at the teahouse he frequented on weekdays, Xiao Yuanqi gestured to Xiao Pingjing with his eyes and asked, "Drink two cups?" ”

Xiao Pingjing thought about it, even if he went back to Changlin Palace, there was nothing to do, so he nodded and said, "Okay." ”

The two stepped into the teahouse together, and after shouting a pot of tea, Xiao Pingjing looked at the north and became distracted.

Xiao Yuanqi was silent for a while, looking at Xiao Pingjing's eyes slightly complicated, and after a while, he spoke: "Pingjing, you didn't go to the north with you, this is a little different from you." ”

Xiao Pingjing came back to his senses when he heard the sound, picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said: "What do you mean it's not like me, my eldest brother asked me to stay in Jinling, you know, I have always listened to my eldest brother's words." ”

"Then you are going to ......" Xiao Yuanqi asked cautiously, "Forever?" ”

Xiao Pingjing was stunned: "Isn't this bad?" ”

"I heard that Brother Pingzhang doesn't seem to be of Uncle Wang's blood," Xiao Yuanqi looked at him fixedly, "You really don't care?" ”

"Whether he was born to his father or not, he is my eldest brother." Xiao Pingjing also looked back at Xiao Yuanqi and asked a little strangely, "Yuanqi, why did you think of asking me this?" Could it be that because of the blood of the eldest brother, you don't recognize him as your eldest brother Pingzhang? ”

Xiao Yuanqi shook his head and said helplessly: "You clearly know that I didn't mean that." ”

"I understand." Xiao Pingjing looked at him seriously, "But Yuan Qi, don't you know me yet?" I'm not here, with my big brother on top, I don't have to deal with these twists and turns. I still prefer rivers and lakes, free and easy. In the future, I will accompany Lin Xi, travel all over the world, and practice medicine to help the world, that is what I yearn for. ”。

"Yes." Xiao Yuanqi muttered: "You are originally such a character, I shouldn't have asked." ”
