Chapter 428: Returning Home
Zhao Yu looked at Jiang Youxi's slightly declining face, and secretly made up his mind.
By the time they returned to the actor, Qin Che had not only set up the tent, but also prepared the meal.
After the meal, Zhao Yu instructed the people who were on duty at night to hurry up and rest.
In the middle of the night, Zhao Yu suddenly opened his eyes alertly.
He heard the sound of the wind breaking.
The sound of following the wind is different, like the sound of someone using light work.
Zhao Yu gently shook Jiang Youxi awake and motioned for her not to make a sound.
Jiang Youxi knew that an assassin might be coming, so he hurriedly prepared the medicinal powder.
Suddenly, Zhao Yu jerked Jiang Youxi into his arms, and there was now a knife inserted in the place where Jiang Youxi was sitting just now, and the knife was deeply inserted into the bed.
If Jiang Youxi hadn't been pulled away by Zhao Yu just now, he would definitely have died now.
"Qin Che! Chen Mu! Catch the assassins! Zhao Yu shouted.
All the guards got up and surrounded Zhao Yu and Jiang Youxi in the middle.
Zhao Yu said to Qin Che and Chen Mu: "Try to leave one or two alive." ”
Jiang Youxi has been kidnapped and attacked repeatedly since he got along with Zhao Yu, and he has become accustomed to it.
What's more, with Zhao Yu here this time, she is not afraid at all.
The assassin who came seemed to stretch out his hand, and was quickly solved by Qin Che and Chen Mu, although the assassin finally committed suicide by taking poison, but an assassin found a brocade on it, embroidered with the word "Qi".
Jiang Youxi took the brocade and said: "The people of Qi have a custom, if a woman likes a man, she will embroider a brocade handkerchief and give it to him. ”
This is clearly the work of a woman.
Then the identity of the assassin was revealed.
Qi Lan!
Just as everyone was studying this Jinpa, there was a sound of horses' hooves, which was particularly abrupt in the silent night.
Everyone took up arms as if they were facing the enemy.
Even Yuki took the powder in his hand, ready to throw it out at any moment.
The people who came kept urging the horses to run as fast as they could, as if something was important.
When he saw Zhao Yu again, he was surprised, jumped up from his horse and knelt straight on the ground.
"Your Majesty, the prince's letter to you is very urgent."
Zhao Yu took the letter, and after reading it, he was very dignified, and told Qin Che and Chen Mu to quickly pack up their things and set off back to Beijing immediately.
It turned out that Qi Lan and Northern Yan launched a large army to attack Liang State.
At this time, two cities have been captured, and Nian Yu and Nian Ting, who are in charge of the country in the palace, must have been in chaos.
Zhao Yu immediately took a letter of resignation and ordered the messenger to ride a fast horse to the prince.
Stabilize first.
Zhao Yu said to Youxi: "Qin Che and I rode back to Beijing first, and I asked Chen Mu to follow you, don't worry." ”
Jiang Youxi disagreed, she just wanted the two of them to be together through ups and downs, and she didn't want to experience the taste of parting again, at this time, she had to advance and retreat together.
Horseback riding is very hard, don't be afraid, as long as you are together, no matter how hard you are, you are not afraid.
Everyone hurried all the way, arrived at the border of Liang at dawn, had breakfast in the border town, and began to hurry again.
At noon, I ate some bread on the way to satisfy my hunger.
Jiang Youxi was born as a beggar and didn't feel hard. Zhao Yu has practiced martial arts since he was a child, has a tough personality, and no one is tired.
In the evening they arrived at Liucheng.
Liucheng is named after the willow trees in the city, and the catkins are flying at this time, which is also a beautiful scenery.
Received letters from Nian Yu and Nian Ting.
Nian Yu has already followed Zhao Yu's instructions, named Cao Yong as a mighty general, and took the old army to the southern border, which is expected to arrive in four days.
At the same time, he received a report of the border battle: two more cities were lost, and the guards in the city were killed.
Zhao Yu punched the table, this Qi Lan should not have spared his life in the first place.
Jiang Youxi looked at Zhao Yu's sad face and was very distressed.
calmly analyzed the situation and said to Zhao Yu: "Let's not go back to Beijing, let's go to the southern border." ”
Zhao Yu and Jiang Youxi are in the hinterland of the northern border, turning directly to the southern border, and there is hope to arrive in two days.
And Cao Yong needs four days.
Zhao Yu agreed to Jiang Youxi's proposal, while Qin Che and Chen Mu disagreed.
They felt that there was no reason for the monarch and the mother of a country to go to the front in a hurry.
In the end, it was decided that Qin Che and Chen Mu would go to the southern border quickly, and Zhao Yu and Jiang Youxi would speed back to Beijing.
The battle situation changed rapidly, and Zhao Yu and Jiang Youxi kept receiving letters from the palace and Qin Che on their way back to Beijing.
Qin Che and Chen Mu arrived at the front line of the war on the night of the second day after they were separated from Zhao Yu to take over the work of the city guards.
Zhao Yu wrote a letter to Nian Yu Nianting, asking them to guarantee the supply to the fighting troops.
He also sent messages to other frontiers to keep an eye on the surrounding movements.
After Qin Che and Chen Mu took command, Qi Lan did not move for two days, and Cao Yong reached the southern border two days later.
Cao Yong is Zhao Yu's old department, a person who is very good at using soldiers, and Zhao Yu is very relieved.
Originally, it would take a month to return to the capital, but Zhao Yu and Jiang Youxi only took ten days.
By the time they arrived in the capital, Cao Yong had already burned Qi Lan's granary and recaptured the two cities.
Cao Yong was really brave and good at fighting, and after another half a month, Cao Yong had recovered the lost city.
Captured a junior general alive.
The little general is Qi Lan's prince.
Then, let's not be wronged to change two cities.
Qi Lan pounded his chest angrily.
Seeing that the general trend had gone, the Northern Yan Kingdom suddenly withdrew its troops.
Qi Lan was lonely, and reluctantly withdrew his troops and went back.
Zhao Yu decreed: Cao Yong was awarded the first prize army and stationed on the southern border.
Inside the Qi Lan Palace
Everything on the table was thrown on the ground, and there was a group of eunuchs and palace maids kneeling on the ground.
Qi Lan was so angry that he was going crazy, he had been preparing for so long, and he was beaten back in a month.
The elderly minister advised him: "Your Majesty, now that the treasury is empty, there are many wounded in the troops, and the combat effectiveness is insufficient, so you need to recuperate." ”
Qi Lan was angry, and he also knew that the current troops were not capable of fighting anymore.
Inside the Imperial Palace of the Liang Kingdom
Zhao Yu personally taught the homework of the two princes.
Since the end of the war, every day Zhao Yu has to ask the two princes about their homework and check their homework.
Sometimes I would listen to the princes talk about some national affairs.
Jiang Youxi has recently become obsessed with inventing all kinds of gadgets.
I'm also interested in the art of traps.
This interest can sometimes hurt one's own people.
For example, one day when Zhao Yu came to Jiang Youxi's palace, he almost stepped on a beast clip.
Another example is that she herself laid a trap at the gate of the palace but forgot it, guessed it with one foot, and something flew over her head and smashed her head.
There are so many funny things like this.
No matter what Jiang You wants to do, Zhao Yu supports it.
Because he knew that the palace was lonely and boring, and he didn't have much time to spend with her, it was a good thing that she could find something to do.
On this day, Jiang Youxi was playing cards with the palace maid, and he didn't have a good time playing cards from the beginning, and the more he played, the more angry he became.
"The queen misses the emperor, right?" The palace maid teased her.
Speaking of which, the emperor hasn't come to her for five days.
After returning from the border, Zhao Yu seemed to be busier.
Even if I came to her, I couldn't say a word and left, or I was tired and fell asleep immediately.
Winter goes to spring, the ice and snow melt, and Jiang Youxi's birthday has arrived again.
Early this morning, Jiang Youxi was looking forward to Zhao Yu coming to accompany her out of the palace for a walk, which was agreed between the two last month.
The left can't wait, the right can't wait.
Nian Yu Nianting came to invite An Daohe and went to school.
After the ladies and ladies of the various provinces came to congratulate them, they dispersed again.
Zhao Yu hasn't come yet.
The palace lamp has been lit, and Jiang Youxi has called the palace maid to prepare to wash and change clothes.
Jiang Youxi told himself that it was just his birthday, and there was nothing to be sad about. But the tears flowed down uncontrollably.
In this strange world, Zhao Yu is all she relies on.
She and Zhao Yu also used to talk about everything sweetly, and they also lived and died together.
How did it become what it is today?
What if he changed his mind and wanted to marry another woman?
Am I going to stick to the promise of being a couple for the rest of my life and be separated from him?
The more he thought about it, the more sad he became, Jiang Youxi lay on the table and cried.
A warm pair of hands wrapped around her shoulders.
Jiang Youxi raised his head and saw Zhao Yu's handsome face.
"Why are you crying like this?" Zhao Yu's voice was still gentle.
Jiang Youxi wiped away his tears, took Zhao Yu's hand and stood up.
"Zhao Yu, if you fall in love with another woman, you must tell me. Or if you're tired of me, you must tell me, I'll make room for you, I won't cry, I'll go. ”
Zhao Yu was a little puzzled: "What did you say, Youxi?" I only love you alone. ”
"You are talking nonsense, the day before yesterday you also announced that Taifu's daughter had entered the palace, and you chatted affectionately for a long time."
"I have something to ask her......
"You don't always come to me, today is my birthday...... Woo woo woo ...... "Jiang Youxi couldn't say anything when he said something sad.
Zhao Yu sighed and hugged Jiang Youxi into his arms.
"My silly queen, I, Zhao Yu, only love you as a woman in my life, and I've been really busy lately so I haven't come to accompany you."
"Then you have time to ask about Yu Nianting's homework every day, you didn't care about it before." Jiang Youxi sniffed and said angrily.
Zhao Yu kissed the tear-stained little face: "That's to let them grow up quickly." ”
After speaking, he took out the prepared birthday gift: a crystal clear jade, on which the names of the two were engraved with dragons and phoenixes.
"This is the jade I polished with my own hands, and the words are also carved by my own hands. You can't lose it. ”
Jiang Youxi looked at the smooth jade and hugged Zhao Yu tightly.
A thousand words are all in one word.
In the autumn of this year, the two princes began to go to court with the hundred officials, the eldest prince was 10 years old, and the second prince was 8 years old.
The two children were dressed in complicated clothes, and their bodies stood at the head of the hundred officials.
The modality does not flinch, nor does it be proud.
The two did not make much remarks, and only expressed their opinions slightly when the emperor named them.
Baiguan found that although the two princes were young, they were rare talents in governing the world.
He has his own opinions on many issues.
The emperor was very satisfied.
Baiguan was also very satisfied.
Qianyang Palace
"Sixi, how is the place I asked you to check?"
A little eunuch trotted over.
"Back to the emperor, the place has been found, and I am looking for skilled craftsmen to build the house, and it will probably be completed next spring."
"It's so good, this matter must be kept secret, especially for the queen, and you can't leak the slightest rumor."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The little eunuch trotted out again.
