A month later.

Li Mingsheng sat in the imperial study, looking at the folds in his hand. Mo Hong said on the side: "The northern kingdom has attacked, and they have stationed troops at the border. Your Majesty, without further ado, Weichen can lead the army to the border. ”

"This matter is quite strange, why did the northern kingdom suddenly attack for no reason? In this way, Ah Hong, this time I intend to go out on my own and fight off the northerners with you. Li Mingsheng said to Mo Hong.

"This is not possible! Your Majesty, you are the king of a country, how can you go on the expedition easily? If your dragon body is damaged, how will Wechen explain it to the people? Your Majesty, please think twice. Mo Hong knelt down to persuade Li Mingsheng.

Li Mingsheng took a deep breath: "I just think that it is not a way for the northern country to go on like this, and I think that I will personally take command of the expedition, maybe it will increase the morale of our army." Ah Hong, I have made up my mind, you go and prepare immediately, and tomorrow morning, I will go with you on the expedition. ”

"This ...... Well, Wechen Command. Mo Hong was helpless.

Jiang Yan came to the imperial study with the porridge she had boiled, and met Mo Hong who shook his head again and again at the door, and heard that Li Mingsheng was going to go on the expedition in person, Jiang Yan went in angrily: "Your Majesty, why didn't you discuss the matter of going on the expedition in person with the concubines in advance?" If you go, won't it be a long time for the concubines to see you? ”

"Ah Yan, you don't have to worry, besides, Ah Hong is protecting me. It is my duty to protect the people of the dawn of the whole world, how can I easily quit because of the danger and difficulties ahead? Li Mingsheng persuaded.

Jiang Yan sighed: "But in this case, the concubine doesn't worry about you." If the emperor brings the concubines with you, then the concubines can rest assured. ”

"No, you can't. I and you have both gone to the battlefield, who will take care of Lin'er and Li'er? Ayan, you have to stay in the palace and preside over the overall situation. Li Mingsheng confessed.

"Then the emperor has to promise his concubines that he must take good care of himself. Don't be rash and do heroic things. Although Jiang Yan is still not at ease, after all, the iron cavalry of the northern country can be said to dominate the world, but what Li Mingsheng said is not unreasonable, she still wants to stay in the palace to be his backup.

Li Mingsheng looked at Jiang Yan's frowning brows and stroked it gently: "Okay, you have such a sad face, I don't feel comfortable looking at it." I will go out with the army early tomorrow morning, and you must take good care of yourself in the palace. ”

"Got it, you can go with confidence!" Jiang Yan pursed her lips.

Early the next morning, the horn of the expedition sounded outside the palace gate.

Li Mingsheng was wearing a golden robe and jumped on horseback. Mo Hong exchanged a look with him, raised the spear in his hand, and shouted: "Our army will win!" ”

As if they had been inspired, the soldiers shouted one after another, swearing to defend their home and country to the death.

Jiang Yan and the concubines of the harem stood on the city wall, watching Li Mingsheng who was about to go away.

Li Mingsheng raised his head slightly, and Jiang Yan, who was reluctant to look at him, smiled slightly, his eyes contained thousands of emotions.

"Don't worry about the queen, the emperor will definitely return in triumph!" Li Yu, who was standing beside Jiang Yan, said in a low voice.

Jiang Yan nodded, watching Li Mingsheng's figure gradually move farther and farther away from her as the army grew. She stretched out her hand and put her hand on the pillar of the city wall, remembering what Li Mingsheng whispered to herself before leaving: "Ayan, believe in me, and believe in yourself." ”

For some reason, somewhere in my heart suddenly became soft.

It turns out that it is a beautiful thing for two people to be happy.
