He wanted to rush up immediately to stop all this, but he understood that this was not something he could accomplish, at this time, there were too many people before and after, Ji Ru entered the imperial city to negotiate with Li Zenan, and Li Xiyun left the imperial city to enter the Nanwu military camp as a hostage, and he had already won the approval of both sides, and he couldn't change anything.

On the contrary, he should think carefully about how to protect himself, for the time being, the other Changliu palace guards are eyeing him, and so are those palace maids, Li Xiyun will also face the threat of Nanwu anytime and anywhere, and the war is still on the verge of breaking out......

Two carriages staggered.

Li Xiyun stretched out her slender hand and gently lifted the carriage curtain.

On the other side, the impregnable carriage also had iron plates sliding upward.

Although Ji Ru, who was like a little fairy, smiled innocently, there was still a little pity in her eyes when she looked at Li Xiyun.

"Sister, I'm sorry." She said.

Li Xiyun looked at her lightly and didn't make any answer, but her picturesque fairy face was full of faint sadness.

The two carriages staggered by.

……

……

The iron-clad carriage passed all the way through the imperial city and into the palace.

Many years ago, Ji Ru came here once, and this place is still unfamiliar.

It has a completely different atmosphere from the south, especially in today's situation.

"Stop!"

She suddenly shouted.

The carriage stopped.

She got out of the carriage briskly and neatly, and then she didn't know what she was doing between the large number of Yanyu Palace guards and Yanyu Palace maids.

The palace guards who brought them in from the Northern Tang Dynasty didn't have much to snoop on, so they had to wait a little longer.

Moments later, a young girl in a white palace dress returned to the carriage.

The group continued on.

But the people of the Northern Tang Dynasty didn't care, a maid of the Smoke and Rain Palace was looking around, sniffing the fresh air in the palace in the early morning, laughing with two dimples, and her eyes were crooked like crescent moons.

……

……

Li Zenan was wearing a dragon robe and sitting in the main hall.

The huge hall was empty, except for the sword-wielding guards in front of the door.

The picture of the former hundred officials and the dynasty has disappeared, and the so-called empire is just a dream.

He looked a little haggard, he knew what he was waiting for, and now he sat on the dragon chair, thinking about his thoughts alone.

Many people thought that with his character, he might fight with Jin An to the end, or set himself on fire in the palace and swore not to surrender, but he chose to negotiate with Ji Ruhai.

There will be some people loyal to Li Tang's family who despise his actions, thinking that he insults Li Tang's prestige and dignity, thinking that he is greedy for life and afraid of death, but he doesn't care.

He has decided what he wants to do, and no one can shake it.

During this time, he killed a lot of people who returned to the imperial city, because they participated in the treason of Xu Jingyi, Long and others, and he couldn't tolerate those things, and he wouldn't let go of any of them.

While he was thinking about this, the guards outside came to report—

"The envoy of Southern Wu is coming."

The envoy of Nanwu who entered the main hall was dressed in a white palace skirt, beautiful as a flower, with his hands in front of him, cautious, but his face was pale and bloodless, looking nervous and frightened.

Li Zenan glanced at her, and raised his sword eyebrows.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, Her Royal Highness the little princess has changed her appearance, I don't know you anymore, it's really a strange news in the world!"

The girl was half frightened to death, and responded in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty Mingjian......"

"People, I have already seen it, the envoy has been traveling for a long time, and he has been wandering around the palace in the past few days, I think, the Duke of Lin'an and your majesty will not wait for a sudden attack."

Li Zenan waved her hand, signaling that she and the other two accompanying Nanwu officials could retreat.

No one can figure out what Ji Ru wants to do, and what Li Zenan is thinking.

……

……

Ji Ru entered the palace, and then there was no news.

The days were as plain as water, as if nothing had happened before.

Everyone thought that the envoy's visit would be a war between the two sides, and another sword and sword shadow would be staged, and it would be staged immediately, but neither Li Zenan nor Ji Ruhai had any movement.

If it was the Southern Wu in the past, it would definitely attack the imperial city mercilessly, but after all kinds of wars, the Northern Tang Dynasty reached the end of the strong crossbow, and the Southern Wu was also exhausted, in this case, Jin An and Ji Ruhai had to consider the pressure on all aspects of the attack, and at this time, Li Zenan agreed to negotiate with Ji Ruhai - no matter what, it could not hide the truth that the Northern Tang Dynasty was about to fall.

But such negotiations have cast a shadow over everyone's hearts, a shadow that cannot be seen through.

……

……

Three days have passed, and Guan Kuo stayed in the camp tent, watching a palace maid teach Li Xiyun embroidery.

Li Xiyun said that she wanted to embroider an autumn chrysanthemum, and she said that the sea of autumn chrysanthemums she saw in the Dust Washing Palace was very beautiful, but Guan Kuo felt in her heart that it looked like a little yellow duck, but she didn't dare to say it.

Li Xiyun's eyebrows were full of faint sorrow and a little despair, the fate of Beitang was close at hand, and she could see that maybe doing these things in the camp could make her not think too much.

is different from Ji Ru, Ji Ru was freed with Li Zenan's acquiescence, and she went to negotiate, but Li Xiyun came over as a hostage, and it can even be said that she was under house arrest, so she can't go anywhere recently, and there are strictly guarded Nanwu soldiers outside, guarding them like thieves.

Because it is inconvenient to reveal his identity, Guan Kuo is not easy to find Jin An, and he realizes that now he has a very delicate relationship with Jin An and others, and there is no longer any need to fight together, so it is necessary to turn his face at any time.

After the palace maid left, Li Xiyun silently embroidered there for a long time.

Originally, there were several palace maids who lived with Li Xiyun to accompany her, and in addition to the guards of Nanwu outside, there were also Changliu palace guards, but generally during the day, most of the time, there were only Guan Kuo and Li Xiyun here.

Li Xiyun sighed, stopped what she was doing, and saw Guan Kuo closing his eyes there to recuperate, and shouted:

"Hey!"

Guan Kuo opened his eyes: "What's the matter?" ”

"Can't I call you if there's nothing?" Li Xiyun put aside the embroidered things in her hand and stood up.

She moved lightly and approached Guan Kuo.

She has a very special aroma on her body, which makes people feel very comfortable, and she exhales like a land: "Talk to me." ”。

Guan Kuo originally wanted to ask something, but when he turned his mind, he realized that Li Xiyun was uncomfortable in his heart and didn't care about the content of his words.

He looked up and thought for a moment and asked, "Do you like to listen to stories?" ”
