Changji's words are strange, does he know something, or is he about to do something?

After a long silence, I couldn't help but ask, "Tomorrow, what will happen?"

He smiled faintly, raised his eyebrows and joked: "Naturally, it is an interesting thing that may happen to you at the birthday banquet." For example, when you celebrate your birthday, you will make a joke about your Majesty's new idiom. After all, you often speak surprisingly and hilariously. ”

Well, that's true.

I covered my mouth and coughed in embarrassment, and was silent for a while, but I still didn't think it was right, and I still didn't believe it, "What do you mean by the funny thing?" ”

Changji nodded and mumbled. After taking a breath, he suddenly said, "No, I haven't had time to tell you something, I ...... Before me. ”

It's not his style.

Seeing that he wanted to stop talking, I was vigilant, grabbed his hand and asked, "What is the important thing you are hiding from me?"

I stared into his eyes for fear of missing something, and I panicked.

He breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "The war is about the dispatch of troops from Nanzhan to the Eastern Expedition to the Lu Kingdom."

I took his words with trepidation, and said, "What does this war have to do with you, and you tell me what it does."

Changji was silent for a moment, still hesitating, and immediately said: "This time to start a war with the Lu State, it should have been led by Zhongqing Marquis Wen Xuan to lead the troops. Unfortunately, on the day His Majesty issued the decree, Wen Xuan suddenly fell ill and fainted immediately, and now he is bedridden. If Wen Hyun can't go to the battlefield, he will empty the position of commander and give the enemy a chance to take advantage of it. Nowadays, there are very few generals who remain in the capital of Nanzhan who can win this coach. After careful consideration, I took the initiative to ask His Majesty for help and decided to go to the east to conquer the country of Lu. ”

I was at a loss for what to do, and paused, "When did this happen?"

Changji looked calm and replied calmly: "The expedition date is set for October 16, and the troops will be dispatched after His Majesty's birthday banquet."

I clenched my fists and said in a deep voice, "I'm asking when you want to go on the expedition?"

Changji choked and said, "Before January."

I sneered, suppressing my anger.

"It's been so long since then, and you're only coming to tell me now. Oh, if you hadn't come up and told me on a whim today, I'm afraid that I wouldn't know what you're going to do until the day you hang up your flag and go out to the army, and come and say hello to me at will. ”

Changji frowned, and the hand that supported my shoulder increased a little harder, "No, it's lacking, what I wanted to tell you early in the morning was that I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to accept that I was going to the battlefield, and I was afraid of you—that's why I'm delaying to tell you now." ”

He's always like that, halfway through the talk.

I pushed him away, sat with my legs on my legs facing the inside of the bed, and said angrily, "You tell me now, I can't accept it even more!"

Since Wen Yang's death, I haven't heard anything about the war between Nanzhan and Lu for a long time. I know that the war is going on, but I have always hated it, and I do not want to pay attention to it, and I will never ask unless someone mentions it in front of me. Unexpectedly, when I heard it again, it was actually told by Changji that he was going to the battlefield. I was dizzy in my head, as if I was dreaming, and I was caught off guard by such shocking news.

I turned my back to him and said obscurely: "You want to go east to conquer the country of Lu, and you made a decision a month ago, but you didn't discuss it with me in advance. We're husband and wife, and we're not outsiders, so can't I know what you're going to do early on? Even if you don't tell me before, you should have informed me as soon as possible afterwards so that I could know the situation as soon as possible. But why do you keep hiding it from me? ”

He whispered behind me, "I'm afraid you're worried."

I laughed, looked back at him and said, "Then I'm not worried about it now?" What are you afraid of, are you afraid that I will cry and argue that you will not be allowed to go. ”

He didn't speak, he acquiesced.

Yes, I would not agree, and I would be worried, if I had known in advance, I would have done everything possible to prevent him from going to war, and it is no wonder that he would hide it from me.

Even at this moment, I won't give up easily, and I still want to stop him from going.

"Nanzhan is brave and can count countless generals, and there are many people who can take command to meet the enemy, why do you have to go on the expedition? Although you practice martial arts, you have never been on the battlefield, and you have no combat experience. Do you know what it means to go to war? It's going to bleed, it's going to be desperate. The sword has no eyes, what if you are injured and disabled! ”

The more I spoke, the more excited I became, and my voice was loud and piercing, shaking my head and smiling bitterly.

I froze, stared at him and hummed, "What are you laughing at!" Am I not right? ”

He bowed his head and said, "Yes, what you said is right."

I took his hand, didn't hide my fear, and softened my voice and asked, "Isn't it okay to change someone else?" Why does it have to be you? ”

Changji smiled, touched my head and said: "No, I am a man, as a man, I have to have great ambitions, to make meritorious contributions, and to defend the country." Although I am a child of the royal family, I don't want to inherit the well-being of my ancestors and steal the floating life. I'm going to have to fight my own bloody battles to get something done. ”

"But you can choose to be a civil servant, don't you? You are so powerful, even if you are a civil official, you will make great achievements. If you are a civil official, you don't have to go to the battlefield, and you don't have to fight for your life. I don't want you to be such an amazing person, I just want you to live well, live peacefully. I want to see you every day. ”

It turns out that I care about a person to the extreme, and he will really be unreasonable, and he will mess around, obviously he understands the reasoning, but it still doesn't make sense, just like I am now.

Changji was slightly moved, with a smile on his eyebrows, he gently picked up my sideburns and tied my broken hair behind his ears, held my shoulders, and said unhurriedly: "Everything I have at present is far from enough for me, and not everything I want." I want it, others can't give it, I have to fight for it myself. ”

"And what do you want?"

Changji was stunned by my yelling for a moment, and then replied: "I want to live a worthwhile life."

I was lost and silent.

Changji touched my face and continued: "I don't want to waste my time, do nothing in my life, and be willing to be an idle prince. You shouldn't like me like this either. Why don't the men take Wu Hook and collect Guanshan Fifty Prefectures. Lacking, my deeds are not in the court, only the battlefield can be achieved. You say that you don't need to shed blood to be a civil official, but it's not. Sometimes, the court is deceitful and deceitful, and the open and secret battles are far more terrible than the swords on the battlefield. I am disgusted with the verbal battles with hundreds of officials in the temple, and I am even more disgusted with the torture of prisoners in Dali Temple to extract confessions. No, I say this, you know what I mean. ”

What if I understand or not, you still have to go.

I struggled to turn my head away, sniffed, and muttered for a while before I said, "I'm a thousand miles away, and I don't know when I'll be back." I can't bear you. ”

He kissed my brow, smiled and said, "Don't worry, a powerful person like me can only go to the battlefield." It won't take long to completely repel the group of wine bags and rice bags in Lu State. You're just waiting at home for my triumphant return. When I make immortal achievements, you will be more admired as Princess Jing, if my name goes down in history, naturally there is also a credit to you, and you will follow the light and be proud of me. Be happy, don't be sad. ”

I couldn't help but roll my eyes back and shouted: "Bah, who is rare in the admiration of others, who is rare in history, who wants to touch your light." Also, you are also self-righteous, you really think that you are an invincible and victorious general, what do you say that it will not be long before you can pack up that group of wine bags and rice bags, this is a war between the two countries, and it is not a fight on weekdays. When you go to the battlefield, you have no eyes on your sword and fight for your life. All I saw was a river of blood and a mountain of bones. You're going to war, and I feel chills when I think about it, and how can I laugh. ”

Changji smiled and bent his eyes, shifted his position to look at me, cleared his throat and said, "Are you afraid that if I can't come back, you will be a little widow?"

I replied, "Yes, I'm just afraid I'll be a little widow." But don't worry, if you don't dare to come back, or if you don't come back to me unscathed, then I'll sneak back to Beiqiu. I'll go back to Beiqiu and find someone to marry again, so I won't be a little widow for you. I really don't want to be a little widow after only a few years of marrying you, how can my life of happiness be ruined like this. ”

Changji smiled bitterly and sighed: "It's really the most poisonous thing in a woman's heart." I haven't died in battle yet, so you're in a hurry to remarry. Tsk, the world is hot and cold. ”

I twisted his arm and feigned anger, "Yes, I'm just evil-hearted." And I also tell you, you are not allowed to be injured, you are not disabled, you are not allowed to lose an arm or a leg, if you are deaf or blind, or if you are disfigured, and leave a scar, but if you are injured a little, I will not want you. ”

After saying that, the tip of my nose was sore, and I really wanted to cry. But thinking that crying is unlucky, I can only forcibly hold back.

Changji saw that I wanted to cry, so he hurriedly took me into his arms and kissed me on the cheek twice, and comforted me softly: "Don't cry, I will definitely come back to see you unharmed."

I choked up and said, "Remember, you must not be fine."

He was determined to go, and no matter what he said, he couldn't stop him.

I was stuck in my throat and asked him, "By the way, who are you going with you this time?"

Changji thought about it for a while, reported a bunch of names I was not familiar with, and added at the end: "In addition to me, there are also Qin Luoxue and Wu Pingqi in the clan. You can rest assured, there will be people who will take care of each other with me in this consultation, even if you don't receive my letter in time, you can ask Yunkang. ”

I was amazed and suffocated.

Qin Luoxue and Wu Pingqi? They are going to go to battle with them!

I swallowed my saliva and asked repeatedly, "You said that Qin Luoxue, Little Grandpa Qin is also going?"

"Did you remember the wrong person or the wrong name? Qin Luoxue went to the battlefield? ”

Changji smiled and said yes firmly.

I shook my head repeatedly, and the battle suddenly seemed a little ridiculous and more worrying.

This is not a playhouse, leading a group of little fart children to mess around. Wu Pingqi go, I still figured it out, after all, he was born in a family of military generals, and it was a matter of time before he went into battle to kill the enemy, but what did Qin Luoxue do with him. A noble son who only knows how to raise flowers and fish, plant grass and flowers, and pamper himself, does not learn and has no skills on weekdays, and is afraid that people who have not even touched the bow and arrow a few times will go to the battlefield, which is really incredible. Could it be that he doesn't plan to live anymore and wants to kill himself in a different way! Didn't Old Duke Qin stop him?

After I calmed down, I cried and trembled: "Changji, how weak are your Nanzhan troops now, to the point where even a weak and cruel soldier like Qin Luoxue has to make up the numbers?"

I can't even think that a scholar who is powerless will fight on the battlefield.

What Qin Luoxue looks like when he fights, it's terrifying just to think about it, and my mind is full of scenes of him carrying a kitchen knife and fighting with people. There is also the tragic scene of him playing cute and slippery to tease the enemy, and kneeling on the ground begging for mercy and hugging people's thighs.

In short, Qin Luoxue doesn't want to be a person who can fight, no matter how you look at it.
