The situation on the border is not as simple as it seems, and it has not been eased by Xie Nanchuan's rescue of troops, and I don't know who spread the message that the country is going to die in Kyoto, which caused the people to panic, and some even began to roll up and leave.

In the half month since Xie Nanchuan arrived at the border, not only did the situation not improve, but the news sent back was getting worse and worse, those tribes were as strong as drinking chicken blood, and they were also good at using poison, which made people unable to guard against it.

"Isn't there anyone who can come up with an idea?" The emperor angrily threw the fold in his hand on the ground, staring at those court officials, these people only knew about infighting on weekdays, but when they really needed to come up with ideas, they didn't speak one by one.

At this time, a civil official stood up and said: "Your Majesty, now you can only wait for the news of the border for the time being, there are not many troops in Kyoto, if you transfer troops to the past, I am afraid that the defense line in Beijing will be broken by people with intentions." ”

"What Chen Xiang said is extremely true, the emperor, according to the opinions of the ministers and others, it is better to wait and see first, General Xie is also a good leader in leading troops no matter what he says, and this time he also brought 100,000 troops to support in the past, he will definitely be able to drive those wicked people out of the border." Said the minister, who was a little longer for another year.

Shang Jingcheng stood up and said: "Father, Erchen thinks that the people in that tribe are not normal, so I wonder if it will be that Xiaofeng who is stirring up a fire next to him and helping those people." ”

The emperor also sighed and said: "Actually, I didn't pay much attention when you told me before, but now it seems that that Xiaofeng is in that tribe nine times out of ten, he is Danlang's apprentice, and I know that he is good at making poison, but I am afraid that this border battle will be very bad." ”

Shang Jingcheng listened, and also sank his face, Xie Nanchuan is very experienced in leading troops, if even he can't drive those people out of the border, then the Jin State is only afraid of difficulties.

After the court, the emperor kept Shang Jing behind, and discussed with him in the study for a while before letting him go.

When he returned to Moxuan Palace, he saw Xie Chuyao arranging flowers there, and couldn't help but stepped forward and gently hugged her waist and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

"It's nothing, I just think these plum blossoms are very good-looking, so I cut them back and plug them in, you see, isn't it very good-looking." Winter is coming, and this plum blossom is also blooming with its pride.

"It's good-looking, everything Yao'er likes is good-looking." Shang Jingcheng nestled in her shoulder socket and said a little lazily.

"What's the matter with you? Why doesn't it sound like it's going to be fun? Is there a letter from the border back? Her hand paused and turned to look at him.

Shang Jingcheng nodded, let go of her, sat down to the side and poured a glass of water before saying, "There is a letter back, but it's not good news." ”

"What's wrong? Is Father okay? Is the border held? She asked three times anxiously, and sat beside him and stared at him tightly, lest she miss any of his expressions.

He said with a calm face: "The situation is not very good, now those tribes have already attacked the fourth city, and if it continues like this, I am afraid that the Jin Kingdom will not be able to protect it!" He turned his hand in the cup, the corners of his mouth drooped, and he lowered his eyes from her.

"What then? Shang Jingcheng, is my father okay? "She was really worried and scared, why did those tribes become so fierce and powerful? Wasn't it good before?

He shook his head and said, "It's okay, my father-in-law can stand it, and now I will retreat to the fifth city to guard the city, but the situation is very bad, the other party is good at poisoning, and they are all silently sneak attacking, so the fourth city will be attacked by them." ”

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but think of his father's words, he tested him in the study, wanting Yao'er to go to the border, but he explicitly refused. What is the border, now there is chaos, she is a woman who does not know martial arts will definitely die in the past, how can he let her pass?

"It must be Xiaofeng, it must be him!" Speaking of Xiao Feng, Xie Chuyao's eyes were on fire, thinking about her father and the border where she was sticking, she now mentioned this name in addition to fear and anger, he is a person from the Jin Kingdom, but he helps other tribes to attack his own country, such a person, even if he is delayed to death, it is not too much.

Shang Jingcheng saw that her whole person trembled a little because she was worried and afraid, and hurriedly stepped forward to hug her and said, "Yao'er, don't worry, just leave everything to me, you have to be good, don't be afraid, don't worry, okay?" ”

"But what about my father? He doesn't know how to heal, and he is simply powerless to fight back against that little wind! Xie Chuyao just grabbed his shirt tightly and said.

He stroked her hair and said, "Father-in-law will have a way." He glanced at her, and swallowed some of the words that came to his lips, so let's not tell her for the time being.

Xie Chuyao leaned on his arms, and suddenly said as if he remembered something: "No, I'm going to the border, Shang Jingcheng, I'm going to the border to see!" "She's a healer, and she'll be able to help in the past.

"Are you crazy? Do you know what you're talking about right now? Shang Jingcheng stared at her with some stern staring and shouted, "Do you know martial arts?" If you go there like this, you're dead! ”

"But if I don't go, my father may be dead, I don't have martial arts, but I know how to heal, I can't kill those corpses before!" She didn't feel scared at all by his strict calendar, but said in an accentuated tone.

Shang Jingcheng stared at her angrily, and only flicked his sleeves and said, "I won't let you go to death!" With that, he left the dormitory with a calm face.

Xie Chuyao looked at his angry back, and her heart suddenly became a trace of sadness, she knew that he was worried about herself, but why didn't she worry about her father? If she could, she wouldn't want to go to that messy place, but how could she rest assured if she didn't go?

"Miss, the old lady is here!" Hongqiang came from the main hall, and saw that her face was not good, and the tone that had just been raised couldn't help but drop, the eldest lady seemed to be unhappy, did she quarrel with the Five Emperors? Looking at the five princes just now, they were also angry.

Xie Chuyao didn't expect her grandmother to come over, she quickly cleaned up her mood, tidied up her clothes again, and then walked out with Hongqiang.

"Grandmother, why are you here? Don't say it in advance, I'll send someone to pick you up. "I haven't seen her for a few months, but my grandmother seems to be in a lot more energetic.

When the old lady saw her come out, she looked at her with a loving smile on her face and said, "Yao'er, grandmother just misses you, come and see, there's nothing wrong." ”

"Then grandmother, sit down and talk, I haven't seen you for a few months, but my grandmother's face is much better!" Xie Chuyao also smiled at her.

"Of course, I have been taking the medicine you gave me, how can it be bad?" The old lady said, stepped forward and took her hand and sat down together, and asked half-loudly, "Does Yao'er miss your father?" ”

"Think, how could you not want to? Just now I told Shang Jingcheng about his father, he was ......in a difficult situation at the border, "I don't want my grandmother to worry too much, she didn't elaborate, just mentioned it simply."

The old lady nodded and said, "I know, he replied the day before yesterday." ”

"Father sent a letter back?" Xie Chuyao was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, every time his father went out on an expedition, he would write home to report his safety, and besides, this time the fifth lady was pregnant again, he would definitely write home to explain the situation.

The old lady nodded, then took out a letter from her bosom and handed it to her, saying, "This is what he wrote to you, and you can see if you have something to say to you!" "She's coming here today to deliver a letter.

Xie Chuyao took the letter excitedly, wanted to open it, and then glanced at her grandmother, and saw that she nodded to herself, so she happily opened the letter, but when she saw the simple seven words on the letter, she was stunned as if she had been struck by lightning, and the letter was unconscious when she slid from her hand.

"What's the matter, Yao'er, what's on the letter? Yao'er! Seeing her suddenly changed face, the old lady couldn't help but grab her shoulder anxiously and asked.

Xie Chuyao came back after half a sound, she squatted down and picked up the letter, and then read it a few more times before asking seriously: "Grandmother, this letter was sent back with my father's letter?" ”

"yes, it was sent back together, what's wrong? Is there something wrong? Yao'er, don't scare your grandmother, you are talking! She was so worried that her hands were shaking.

Xie Chuyao leaned on the table weakly, almost didn't fall to the ground, she opened the letter and glanced at it again, it was clearly written: Collect your father's body!

This is not a letter from her father, this is a letter from Xiaofeng to her, it must be Xiaofeng!

Thinking of this, she hurriedly said to the old lady, "Grandmother, you sit here for a while, and I'll come when I go." After saying that, she took the letter and ran out, she had to ask the light shadow if it was Xiaofeng's handwriting.

The old lady watched her run out in a hurry, and the old face was worried again, what happened to this Yao'er, I didn't remember to ask her just now to take the letter and see if there was anything bad on the letter, but she glanced at it just now, and there seemed to be only a few words on it, what is it?

Thinking, guessing, her heart was uneasy again.

Xie Chuyao came to the queen's Chaoyang Palace, Qingying happened to be helping the queen sort out her clothes, saw her come in, and happily walked over and asked, "Chu Yao, why are you here?" ”

The queen's illness has long been cured, sad that she came to prevent them from going out shopping together? However, it doesn't look like her expression!

"Light Shadow, take a look, whether this is the handwriting of the little wind, is it!" Xie Chuyao was so nervous that she almost couldn't take out the side letter, and when Qingying saw her like this, she took the letter in her hand and opened it to take a look.

"Yes...... It's Xiaofeng's handwriting......" After Qingying finished speaking, she looked at her with a serious face, and she knew what it meant at a glance.
