Gao Hanyue was immersed in her own memories, and did not notice the strange scene that happened beside her. Looking at Gao Hanyue's slightly moist face, Yu Fei, who was standing aside just to divert the topic, suddenly felt sour in her heart, she also remembered her father and mother who had not seen her for a long time, thinking of this, Yu Fei couldn't help but feel sad secretly, and even unconsciously left sad and helpless tears.

After a period of sadness and self-blame, Gao Hanyue, who was originally a little excited, gradually calmed down her originally excited expression. At this moment, when she noticed Yu Fei beside her, who was infected by her emotions and even had more enthusiastic expressions and movements than herself, Gao Hanyue couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and asked softly, "Fei'er, what's wrong with you?"

Yu Fei sighed slightly, and she was also brought into her own memories by Gao Hanyue's warm pillow. Isn't he a person who has no way to control his own destiny?

However, Yu Fei didn't say this to Gao Hanyue, she just silently wiped the tears from her eyes, and said with some sadness: "Sister Yue, don't hide it, I haven't visited my parents and relatives for two or three years, although they wrote to me and told me not to worry, but whenever I see a family reunion during the New Year's holidays, how can this calm me down."

Gao Hanyue sighed slightly, gently patted Yu Fei's shoulder, and whispered: "After this trip to the country is over, hurry back and see your parents, they may say that they don't want to be your fetters, but they still want you to go back in their hearts."

Yu Fei nodded deeply silently, and Gao Hanyue smiled lightly with relief. She didn't notice that Yu Fei's fists were clenching and the terrible look on her face was gradually gloomy

"What! The Ming clan has been revived again! How is this possible!" The long wind of spring blows the curtain embroidered with the nine-patterned dragon, and the gorgeous bluestone slabs and red brocade carpets are laid around, and the luxurious tables and chairs made of rare nanmu wood of a hundred years or even a thousand years are spread. This is a gorgeous palace, and there is a golden plaque hanging high in front of the palace, on which three big red characters are written in vigorous and powerful words, "Liuyun Palace". At this time, a slightly angry and even very corrupt voice came from this Flowing Cloud Palace.

The source of this sound is imprinted on this very magnificent Liuyun Palace, which looks a little strangely cold and lonely. In the past, this hall symbolized not only the supreme imperial power, but also a kind of domination of the world. Liuyun Hall is the place where the emperors of Qi have met every day. (The feudal country is also named "Liuyun Palace", and it is also the place to meet hundreds of officials) and since Xuan Lejun went to the feudal country and disappeared, almost all the government affairs of Qi are basically undertaken by Li Dan, the prime minister of Qi State, alone, and the Liuyun Palace has also become a government that is almost only controlled by Li Dan in the twilight dynasty, and now the Liuyun Palace has become a solitary, empty with a gorgeous appearance, and the inside has actually become a palace full of gloom and coldness.

Since Li Dan took control of the government, the state of Qi has not held a decent court meeting for a long time. After all, although Prime Minister Li Dan is the prime minister, he does not have the majesty and qualifications of an emperor. As a result, in the past three years, the government of Qi has basically been controlled by Li Dan and the two doctors, and there are many people, and such a court is destined to be impossible to last. Recently, Li Dan has been discussing countermeasures with two doctors. Now that night has fallen, at this moment, the two doctors have already said goodbye and gone home, and only Li Dan is left in the huge Liuyun Palace, Li Dan is sitting on the throne of Xuan Lejun, staring at the dozens of twists and turns that have been played above the imperial case in front of him.

At this time, Li Dan, the prime minister of Qi State, is suddenly angry now, in large part because he has often felt powerless in the past two or three years. After all, he is now past the age of the sixtieth year, and he should return to his hometown to enjoy his old age in peace, and he is still struggling in his position, Li Dan wants to return to his hometown until Xuan Lejun returns. Many officials privately said that Li Dan had selfish intentions to seek the position of emperor of Qi State, but in fact, they were just jealous of Li Dan's ability to cover the sky almost single-handedly.

On the other hand, it was because Li Dan had heard of the earth-shattering changes that had come from the south of Qi State, and that great changes had taken place in Ruocheng, an important city in the south, and that the real messenger who really controlled this army was actually Chen Jie, the southern governor of Qi State! And the real reason for their army was to raise the banner with the mission of reviving the Ming people. This couldn't help but make Li Dan feel greatly shocked in his heart, he couldn't believe that Chen Jie, who he trusted the most, was actually the surviving descendant of the Ming clan, and he also led the other tens of thousands of remaining Ming clansmen to launch another uprising. This uprising was menacing, enough to shake the Qi State and the Manchu Dynasty, causing the loudest repercussions.

Li Dan was shocked and angry at first, and even wanted to immediately send troops to exterminate this remnant branch of the Ming clan who didn't know what to do and was counting on revenge. Now, according to the news that the detective sent back the order, the rebel army of the Ming clan attacked and annihilated the 50,000 elite troops of the Qi State with fire, and this army suffered heavy losses. The remaining more than 10,000 people who survived all retreated to Donglinguan under the leadership of the three lieutenant generals. Now, Ruocheng and dozens of surrounding counties have all fallen into the hands of the Ming people.

This news calmed Li Dan, and after he was immersed in it, he thought about it silently and realized the urgency of the situation. Not only should Chen Jie not be a descendant of the Ming clan, but he is likely to have been held hostage by the Ming clansmen who had already had a plan. The 50,000 elite troops controlled by Chen Jie's men were not absorbed by the Ming clan, but were burned with grain and grass by fire, and the entire army was almost annihilated. This shows that this must be a move that the Ming rebel army came up with, and seeing that this army could not surrender to them, they used such tactics to capture and kill them all together. Fortunately for Li Dan, although this army suffered heavy losses, it was not completely damaged, and the three lieutenant generals were also saved unharmed. There were still nearly 20,000 troops left in this army.

At this moment, this army is now retreating to the east of the pass, and the garrison in the east pass now has nearly 30,000 troops. Li Dan endured the originally slightly manic emotions in his heart, and after thinking about it, he realized that their Qi Kingdom actually had a great advantage. On the surface, now the Qi State has indeed fallen into a huge disadvantage, the Ming uprising is huge, Ruocheng and all the surrounding counties have been controlled by the strength of the Ming people. The messenger also told Li Dan the news that the Ming army now numbered 30,000 and was still preparing to march into the southern Huicheng. Once the city is lost, the Qi State will lose the supply of sea salt, pig iron, and sea fish. It seems that the situation is grim, but Li Dan still understands their advantages.

First of all, the country of Qi has developed in three years, the people have set their minds, and the people live a healthy and happy life. During this period of time, the common people will definitely not support this force that seems to be huge, but in fact the Ming people have no place to replenish their troops. The only army they could really control was the army composed of these 30,000 Ming clansmen.

The Ming have no place to replenish their army, and in fact the storm they can set off is not very strong. Now Li Dan has announced the transfer order, ordering the tens of thousands of troops stationed outside Jincheng and Xuancheng to start marching south to quell the rebellion. Li Dan was actually not worried about how much of a storm this Ming army could set off, but he was worried that the army of the feudal state would send troops to attack the border of their Qi country under the pretext of this reason, so that their Qi country would fall into a passive situation. Even, even if there is no rebellion of the Ming people, the feudal state will have an advantage in all aspects to attack the Qi country.

Moreover, Li Dan also thought of one point, the uprising of the Ming clan this time was not enough to worry too much. It's just that now, if the feudal state intervenes in this civil strife in their country, it will be really difficult to deal with the feudal state with their current military strength and the disadvantages of the army and people's livelihood. However, Li Dan also came to the same thing, no matter how powerful the feudal country was, they did not grasp that they could take this opportunity to completely destroy their Qi country in one fell swoop. Perhaps the feudal state, or the Holy Emperor, just wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to once again drag down the possible development of the Qi country. Relying on this rebellion of the Ming people, the feudal state can or may have sufficient benefits. Forcing the Qi State to stop some of its own innovative developments, or ceding several important cities in the south, the area around the capital is the area that the feudal state has been coveting for a long time. In this way, even if the Qi State can easily quell the rebellion of the Ming Clan, it may be very difficult for their Qi State to win the battle for victory in this Demon Spirit Continent.

The lonely, cold and empty Liuyun Hall was as clear as the wind, and Li Dan, who was alone on the throne of the Liuyun Palace, couldn't help but fall into deep thought, how to eliminate the uprising wave of the Ming clan without spending too much energy, and be able to prevent the feudal country from sending troops to disrupt the situation

Li Dan pondered for a long time, and finally wrapped a letter that had already been written in his hand, and as soon as he was summoned, a guard wearing purple armor and a short sword in his hand flashed in at the door. Li Dan commanded twice in a low voice, and the guard took the wrapped letter in Li Dan's hand and walked out quickly.

Staring at the cold sky in the distance, without a trace of brilliance, Li Dan couldn't help but let out a long sigh (a good activity for pie in the sky, cool mobile phones are waiting for you to take!Pay attention to ~ Dian/Chinese network public account (WeChat add friends - add public account - enter ddxiaoshuo), participate immediately!
