Xiao Tingchen always smiled.

He said softly: "I still remember the last time we met in Chang'an, you were still an ignorant and ignorant teenager. However, in just half a year, you have become the overlord of the northwest, and even tried to invade the Central Plains. It's just that the overlord is easy to be, but the emperor of the world is not so easy to be. ”

Jin Shixing's face was expressionless, "Whether it's good or not, you have to try it to know." The Lord's Mansion has a tower overlooking the surrounding scenery of Boyuan City. It just so happens that you and my brother haven't drunk together for a long time, so it's better to climb high and eat together, and also ask my brother to see the demeanor of my Beiliang Iron Ride. ”

Xiao Tingchen followed him to the tower.

The roof of the building is spacious, and there is already a beautiful woman who has placed a table of wine and food.

The two sat cross-legged on the futon, and Jin Shixing pointed to the northwest, "Brother see it, that is the camp where my Beiliang Iron Cavalry is stationed." As long as you give a lone order, your 20,000 reckless army will surely be destroyed in an instant. ”

Xiao Tingchen was noncommittal.

Jin Shixing glanced at him and said in a low voice: "As long as my brother hands over Su Runmo, Gu is willing to let you leave safely." Lone also knows what kind of hostility those people in Chang'an have towards you, as long as my brother helps Lone to pacify Daqi and makes you the king of Daqi, how about it? My brother is a person who reads sage books, and he knows that 'good birds choose trees and perch', I have millions of iron riders in Beiliang, and Daqi is not Beiliang's opponent at all. Surrender is the best option. ”

Xiao Tingchen ate two glasses of wine unhurriedly.

He put down the cup and pointed to the east, "What do you see is that?" ”

Jin Shi looked away.

On the eastern horizon, dust and smoke rise from the ground.

Su Runmo led 100,000 Liangzhou troops and was rushing here!

Jin Shixing frowned suddenly.

Xiao Tingchen ate and drank calmly, "You calculated that someone would break the covenant and ambush 100,000 troops near Bo Yuan in advance, and I may not be able to calculate your plan." 100,000 iron cavalry in Beiliang, 120,000 troops against me, guess who wins or loses? ”

Jin Shixing played with the wine cup and didn't say anything.

Irritability welled up in his heart, and he coldly ordered, "Go and bring the princess." ”

Whenever he couldn't control his emotions, he was used to holding Xu Nuanyue.

Smelling the sweet fragrance unique to that girl, and feeling the softness of that girl nesting in his arms, he will have a sense of solidity and security.

Xu Nuanyue is like his medicine.

The maid who went to find Xu Nuanyue came back soon and reported the incident in the wing room in shock.

"Ran away?!" Jin Shixing said coldly.

"I'm afraid, I'm afraid it......" The maid trembled, "The slave maid asked the guards in the palace, and they said that there were indeed two palace maids who left the city lord's mansion and have not returned. ”

"Bang!"

Jin Shi Xingsheng pinched the wine cup in his hand!

Xiao Tingchen chuckled, "Tsk, the woman ran away?" ”

Jin Shixing glanced at him, and the schadenfreude in the man's peach blossom eyes was barely hidden.

He said lightly: "My woman eloped with your woman, what are you happy about?" ”

Xiao Tingchen: ......

It seems to make sense when you think about it.

Jin Shixing said in a deep voice: "Although Beiliang only has 100,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Boyuan City, he is not afraid of a battle. If you don't want the people of Boyuan City to be ruined and corpses all over the field, just hand over Xu Nuanyue to Lonely. ”

"It was my woman who took Xu Nuanyue away, not me. What she wants to do, I have no right to beak. Xiao Tingchen smiled, "What's more, the people of Beiliang are not afraid of a battle, and my Daqi is also not afraid of a battle." ”

Jin Shixing hated so much that his teeth itched.

Outside Boyuan City, the two armies faced each other.

However, without the commander's order, no one dared to rush into battle.

Juan Er rode a foal to Su Runmo's tent and saw the man studying the sand table map.

She held up the peach blossom branch, "Mr. Su, is this battle going to be fought or not?" ”

"It's hard to say...... Su Runmo held his chin, "In my selfish heart, this seat is unwilling to fight." There are no tactics, no ambushes, no conspiracy, and a war won by brute force alone is really boring. If you fight hard, you will only kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 yourself, and for me, even if you win, it is no different from losing. ”

The judge nodded.

She tugged at the peach blossom branch, her eyes rolling wildly.

After a moment, she smiled crookedly: "Then I'll go find Sister Su!" ”

Su Runmo nodded, not taking her words to heart.

Ju'er rode a foal and ran wildly along the post road, and finally caught up with Su Jiu and Xu Nuanyue at dusk.

Because of the silver chains on Xu Nuanyue's feet, she couldn't ride a horse, so she could only ride a carriage.

Because of this, the speed at which she and Su Jiu escaped was greatly reduced.

Ju'er said crisply: "Sister Su, Sister Su!" Wait for me! ”

Su Jiu poked his head out of the car window and saw that it was her, so he motioned for the driver to stop.

She got out of the car, "Juan'er, are you going back to Liangzhou with us?" ”

The judge nodded.

Her voice was immature: "Sister Su, I heard that the princess of Beiliang is gone, and now Boyuan City is in chaos." The 100,000 iron cavalry of Beiliang and the 120,000 soldiers and horses of Daqi are in a stalemate, as far as I know, the king of Beiliang is thunderous, and the whole city is searching for his princess, if he can't find it again, I'm afraid he will be angry with Daqi and officially start a war! King Beiliang is like a madman, he doesn't care about hurting the enemy by 800 and losing 1,000 himself, it's terrifying! ”

Su Jiu was stunned.

In the carriage, Xu Nuanyue frowned, and her hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

She closed her eyes and suddenly got out of the carriage.

She held Su Jiu's hand, "Su Su, will you send me back?" ”

Su Jiu was unwilling.

Xu Nuanyue looked in the direction of Liangzhou City.

That quaint frontier city, hidden in the distant twilight, is out of reach.

From the time she married Beiliang, she knew that it would be the land she would never be able to set foot back again.

Going back or something, after all, it's just a fantasy.

She hugged Su Jiu gently, "Su Su, send me back." There are hundreds of thousands of people in Boyuan City, and it is not a place where war should take place. Even if there was a battle between Bei Liang and Da Qi sooner or later, it shouldn't be in Boyuan City. I've been stupid since I was a child, and I can't do anything well, but I'm willing to return to Jin Shixing for the sake of those people. ”

The tip of Su's nose is sour.

The sun sinks in the sky.

The smoky purple clouds stretch across the sky, and the wind and sand of the Gobi Desert are absolutely beautiful.

Xu Nuanyue finally glanced in the direction of Liangzhou and stepped into the carriage without hesitation.

The yellow brick post road winds its way to Boyuan City.

In the carriage, Xu Nuanyue gently leaned on Su Jiu's shoulder.

The four little hands clasped each other tightly, and they knew very well that in this life, they might never have the opportunity to talk at night and hold hands in the old courtyard of Jinling......

The judge rode a horse, his smile innocent and pure.

She tilted her head and hummed the folk song of Beiliang, which was desolate and poignant, but revealed a bit of weird joy.

Xu Nuanyue's return made Jin Shixing feel like a treasure.

When he learned the news, he even ran out of the City Lord's Mansion regardless of his identity and met the carriage from afar.

He hugged Xu Nuanyue tightly, eager to rub this girl into his bones and blood.

Su Jiu stood beside the carriage and wanted to hug Xu Nuanyue again, but was hugged by Xiao Tingchen.

He said softly, "It's time to go back." ”

"But the warm moon—"

"Su Jiu, that's her fate."

In front of the city lord's mansion, the wind lanterns are swaying.

The miserable red light blurred in the hazy cold night, like blood all over the ground.
