No! Po Xian opened his mouth to retort, "I'm not just because of what Shen Cuobai can give me, I'm tired of so many years of life licking blood on the knife edge, and what Sui Yue promised me at the beginning was just some capital to settle down." ”

"Are you still short of money?" Hua Cao said with a smile, stretched out her hand and toasted a glass of wine, "Then what did Shen Cuobai give you, a thousand acres of fertile land, or ten thousand houses?" Otherwise, how could you cooperate with him in such a play? ”

"Do you really want to know?" The corners of Poxian's mouth sneered a little, and looking at Hua Cao's gaze, Hua Cao felt even more trembling.

Although she had a bad premonition, Hua Cao nodded slightly.

Poxian chuckled, "I said that I met a girl who sold wine in Red Snow City, and I just wanted to be with her." Shen Cuobai agreed with me and said that no matter what happens in the future, he will give me this girl. ”

"It's a good deal." Hua Cao said with a chuckle, but there was a little wry smile on the corner of her mouth.

Broken String raised his wine jar and drank it all, some of the wine fell on his clothes, but Broken String still didn't care. After all the drinks in the jar were gone, Po Xian let out a long exhale.

"At that time, Shen Cuobai didn't know that the wine girl would be you, but after knowing it, he still didn't refuse."

Hua Cao didn't speak, just listened quietly. Originally, she also had the ability to stay drunk for a thousand cups, but I don't know why, just after drinking a little bit, she already felt a blur in front of her. There is no medicine in the wine, and the flowers can distinguish it.

Xu was because he didn't want to listen to it anymore, Hua Cao actually fell to the ground and fell into a deep sleep.

Broken String drank his own wine, laughed a few times from time to time, and sighed from time to time. After all the drinks were drunk, he slowly got up from his seat and headed in the direction of Hua Yao.

Stretched out his hand to pull the broken hair in front of Hua Cao, and there was a rare smile on his broken string face.

It's just that the smile fell on a face full of scars, with a bit of hideousness.

Slowly picked up Hua Cao, broke the string and carefully placed it on the bed, and then leaned on the edge of the bed and fell asleep deeply.

The City Lord's Mansion of the Red Snow City of Eastern Qi.

Shen Cuobai and Jiang Heng sat opposite each other, the best wine and food and wine in front of them, but the two of them were not in a half-state of mind, and they only felt that the air seemed to be a little dull.

"Your Majesty, the matter of Daduan, sooner rather than later, looking at the meaning of the county lord, I think it really won't help us anymore."

Jiang Heng opened his mouth softly and helped Shen Cuobai fill the wine glass in front of him.

She tried her best, the phoenix seal had already been returned, and she chose the jade seal at the big end. No matter how we meet in the future, we are already relative, and we can't go back. ”

"But the emperor still can't let go of the county lord, otherwise he won't let Poxian go over to protect the county lord." Jiang Heng said, he had already raised his wine glass and took a sip of wine.

Shen Cuobai chuckled lightly, and then raised his wine glass, but there was a bit of melancholy on his face, "If the broken string can be protected, it is the best." When we meet each other, neither she nor I will show mercy. ”

"And when are we ready?" Jiang Heng asked, his eyes a little more eager.

These things have been prepared for a long time, and attacking Daduan is only between Shen Cuobai's thoughts. Originally, he wanted Hua Cao to return to Daduan to find an excuse to send troops to Dongqi, but in the current situation, Hua Cao didn't think that he would help Dongqi.

Shen Cuobai put down the wine glass in his hand and shook his head gently, "Wait, it won't be too long." ”

When the morning sun hit Hua Cao's face, Hua Cao woke up leisurely. He Gong and Po Xian on the side stood opposite each other, and the two looked at each other, but there were already countless hostilities. Hua Xiao shook her head helplessly and smiled softly.

"It doesn't have to be like this," Hua Cao slowly got up from the bed, "After the string breaks, I will be the personal guard of the mourning family, right?" ”

He Gong still wanted to say something, but when he met Hua Cao's gaze, he had to hold back what he wanted to say. Hua Cao ignored it, washed up briefly, pulled He Ximing in his hand, and walked towards the court.

The courtiers seemed to have become accustomed to such a situation, and the one-year-old child knew about the affairs of the family and the state, but only sat on the dragon chair and played around. From time to time, there were a few laughs, which made people feel inappropriate, but there was no way to do their duty.

In the whole big end, the only one who really speaks is the woman who is pulling the child.

"Your Majesty, Queen Mother, now the situation between the two countries in the Eastern Qi Dynasty is grim, and the two countries have not been in contact for a long time, thinking that there will be a vicious battle to be fought in the future, it is better to prepare early."

A minister stood up and spoke, Hua Xiao frowned quietly, she had heard this countless times, but she had heard no solution countless times. These courtiers don't know how Sui Yue was selected, one is even more mediocre than the other!

"The mourning family will pay attention to this matter, what do you have to say?"

"Back to the Queen Mother," Zhao He walked out of his position, "Eastern Qi and southern Xinjiang have violated our country's border many times, and I also ask the Queen Mother to make it clear, whether you want to fight?" ”

There was silence in the lobby, and Hua Cao looked at the heavy responsibility of looking at each other, only to feel a sense of powerlessness slowly attacking.

It's your own good that really makes the decision, but whether the decision is valid or not is not just up to you.

"Hit!" The thin lips opened lightly, and Hua Cao said slowly, the already silent lobby was more like he could hear his breathing clearly at this time, "General Zhao go and prepare, the mourning family will personally go to the frontier to see how tough the southern Xinjiang of Eastern Qi will be!" ”

"Yes!"

Zhao He's voice echoed in the Hall of Light, and everyone watched Hua Cao pull He Ximing away.

In the past, Hua Cao was always arrogant and noble, but I don't know why, everyone only felt that this time Hua Cao seemed to be a little desolate, which made people look like they felt distressed unconsciously.

When he returned to Anyun Pavilion, Hua Cao instructed his subordinates to take care of it, and he went directly to deal with the twists and turns.

The decision above the court didn't seem to affect Hua Cao, but Hua Cao was distracted from time to time, and in the end she completely betrayed Hua Cao's state of mind at this time.

Broken strings stood beside Hua Yao, "Why are you fighting?" ”

"Because it is inevitable, the situation between the two countries today cannot be combined, and they can only fight." Hua Cao explained slowly, and there was no ripple in her tone.

Po Xian looked at Hua Yao's side face, "Why are you going to fight?" ”

"The Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies. The mourning family brought Xi Ming back, what Xi Ming can't do now, it should naturally be done by the mourning family. ”

"You're selfish." Breaking the string affirmatively opened, Hua Yao's eyes moved slightly, slowly closed, and did not open his mouth to refute.

The situation of the big end is very clear now, where is the ability that Shen Cuobai has accumulated over the years that Hua Cao can achieve overnight? Rao has tried his best, but how could Shen Cuobai give himself a chance?

It doesn't matter if you have selfishness, or if you don't have selfishness. If you go by yourself, no matter whether you live or die, Shen Cuobai will be a little scrupulous, right?

If it does, the big end can still maintain some stability. If he is really defeated, Shen Cuobai will also look at his own face and treat the people of Daduan well, right?

In November of the first year of Emperor Daduanming, the Empress Dowager Hua Cao was escorted by the general Zhao He and personally went to the frontier to supervise the war. All of a sudden, the two countries were at war, and they were on the verge of breaking out.

The November wind was cold, and Hua Cao was on a horse, surrounded by guards, but it didn't seem abrupt.

In the blink of an eye, it's almost the end of the year, but if you want to come to this year's Spring Festival, I don't know if you can still see it?

"Mother, how do you feel about the journey in a few days? What's wrong? ”

Zhao He handed over the kettle and dry food and handed them to Hua Cao's hand. No matter what Hua Cao's identity is, he will never experience such a day and night rush. What's more, eating and living with the guards, Hua Cao did not have any special treatment.

Thinking of this, Zhao He's face couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

Although Hua Cao went to the frontier to fall into Zhao He's arms, many things are still a little sorry for Hua Cao.

"Nope." Hua Cao replied lightly, took the water and dry food handed over by Zhao He, and ate little by little.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with this.

Zhao He didn't say anything, but his face was a little more moved.

After several days of running around day and night, everyone finally arrived at the frontier of Daduan on the tenth day. Compared with the desolation of the Eastern Qi Frontier, there are more people in the Daduan Frontier. There were a lot of villagers scattered around, and they were very polite when they saw Hua Cao and others.

Someone had already packed up Hua Cao's tent, and before Hua Cao had time to rest, he heard the sound of the guards outside. The soldiers of the Eastern Qi have already arrived in the city, and compared to the harassment between them, this time, it seems to be menacing.

Zhao He originally wanted to hide it from Hua Cao, but Hua Cao's ears were still not in vain.

When a figure flashed, Hua Cao was already standing on top of the city tower.

Condescendingly interjecting and looking down, I really saw a lot of soldiers standing under the city. Hua Cao's face was covered with a white veil, and everyone couldn't see Hua Cao's appearance, but the soldiers also felt a little familiar.

The leader is Ah Yu, and Hua Cao can see it clearly.

A few days ago, Shen Cuobai had already arrived in southern Xinjiang, thinking that it was this battle, and it really couldn't be fought. It's just that I didn't expect that after I came here, the first person I saw was Ah Yu.

"Mother, why don't you avoid it first? It's inevitable that this will be a distraction! ”

Zhao He persuaded on the side, but only saw Hua Cao gently shake his head. Zhao He knew that it was useless to persuade him, but he didn't speak anymore, and looked at Hua Cao's gaze, only to see that Ah Yu seemed to be a little angry, and when he waved his hand gently, the soldiers had already swarmed up.
