Qin Yining has always been alert, but now that she is a month old, she is even more light sleeping, and she opened her eyes almost as soon as there was movement in the back window.

Xiao Xiao reacted faster than she woke up earlier, and she had already jumped up, and the short sword hidden under the pillow had been held in his hand, because he didn't dare to act rashly for fear of falling into the plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, he only opened his posture and cautiously protected Qin Yining's side.

Qin Yining was about to open his mouth to summon someone, but Xiao Xiao listened carefully with his ears pricked up, and covered Qin Yining's mouth at the same time.

Qin Yining's long eyelashes flickered, and he looked up at him strangely.

Xiao Xiao's tense muscles relaxed, put away the short sword, and whispered in her ear: "It's Ah Lan, Xu has something to say to me." You rest first, I'll go back and talk to him a few words. ”

Qin Yining breathed a sigh of relief, and also said in a low voice: "Okay." It's cold at night, you wear a little more. Then he wanted to get up and help him find a robe to wear.

Xiao Xiao helped her to lie down with his backhand, "Don't get up, I'll just find one to wear by myself, you can easily get sleepy, let's rest." ”

Xiao Xiao helped Qin Yining cover the brocade quilt, leaned over and imprinted a kiss on her forehead, only then did she find a robe to put on at will, put on indoor soft-soled cotton boots and went around the screen to the clean room at the back, and as soon as the curtain was lifted, I saw Ji Zeyu's tall back standing in front of the window with his hands in his hands.

"Ah Lan, you're here."

"Hmm." Ji Zeyu turned around, and the moonlight outlined his stunning handsome face with light and dark outlines, and a shallow smile spread on his lips, "Did you disturb your rest?" ”

"Nope. I guessed you would come, so didn't sleep soundly. ”

When Ji Zeyu heard this, the smile on his lips deepened a little. He wore a night robe, and his face looked as radiant as mutton fat white jade in the darkness.

Xiao Xiao also laughed, the three of them, at least Ji Zeyu has not changed.

The two of them grabbed two small wooden stools at random and sat down, they were all crawling over in the sea of corpses and blood on the battlefield, and they didn't care much about these environments, and a damp bathtub next to them would not affect their conversation at all.

"I'll cut it short." Ji Zeyu lowered his voice and said: "This place where you live, there are a lot of holy eyeliners around, and it took a lot of twists and turns to ask if you wanted to sneak in." It can be seen that the Holy One does not fully trust you. ”

"I know. I found the nails, but I didn't ask anyone to pull them out. Xiao Xiao smiled, Li Qitian didn't seem to be able to hurt his heart anymore by doing anything now, "I'm going to go out soon." It is impossible to stay here all the time, this batch of nails is pulled out, and there will be a new batch. Attacking the grass and the snake angered the saint, and I was worried that he would be bad for my family. ”

Ji Zeyu smiled: "Don't worry, I will arrange for someone to keep an eye on here." Although some of the brothers accepted the holy reward this time, most of them refused. ”

"That's the case with me here, too." Xiao Xiao smiled and said helplessly, "The Holy One has grasped the hearts of the people. But it doesn't matter. Anyway, we know what he's going to do. ”

The two of them thought about this time at the same time.

They saved Li Qitian after several trade-offs, but Li Qitian didn't wait to warm up the throne again, and in turn dispersed a group of forces in their hands. Even if it's harmless, it's chilling enough.

However, this does not affect the next plans for Ji Zeyu and Xiao Xiao.

"You're going north another day, aren't you?"

"Hmm. I am ready, and now I am just waiting for the Holy Command. ”

Thinking of the situation in the north, Xiao Xiao's brows couldn't help frowning tightly, and his eyebrows were twisted into pimples.

Siqin came prepared, and joined forces with Tianjizi. Although he believed in Ji Zeyu's ability, he was also worried about his safety.

Siqin is a scheming person, but Ji Zeyu is not a sinister and cunning person, I am afraid that Ji Zeyu will use the mind of a normal person to measure the thoughts of people like Siqin, and he will not be able to guess at all but fall into the scheme.

Seeing Xiao Xiao's worries, Ji Zeyu smiled, "I'm fine here, if I go to the north, I may be able to retake charge of the Long Xiang Army, even if I don't take the Long Xiang Army, I am very familiar with all the situations in the north." The matter of Tatar is urgent, and the Holy One will not embarrass me, and will definitely give me the support of power, and unlike you here, you don't have to worry about me at all. ”

"That being said...... That's it, a man's husband, and you don't need such a mother-in-law and mother-in-law, I'm really worried about you. But I also know that you know in your heart, Siqin is cunning and vicious, and after ascending to the throne by such means, he is even more eager to avenge Anari Khan, and you also know that people with weak hearts will always do some radical things to cover themselves. ”

"Siqin is indeed cunning, don't worry, I will pay attention." Ji Zeyu looked at Xiao Xiao with a smile in his eyes, he understood Xiao Xiao's worries about him, because he was also worried about Xiao Xiao at this time, and his trust in Xiao Xiao was even more undisguised, "I have also dealt with Siqin for many years, and I still know some of his methods." ”

"He knows how you do it."

Ji Zeyu nodded and admitted: "Yes, we are old enemies." But this war was inevitable, and if the Tatars could not be stopped, the Great Zhou would become a foreign tribe to rule. Those people, accustomed to plundering, saw that our land was so fertile and rich, and where would they think about how to let the people recuperate? They will only intensify their plunder. At that time, it is almost inevitable that the lives will be destroyed, and it will be even more terrible than being ruled by the faint monarch of Dayan. ”

It is rare for Ji Zeyu to say so many words with people in one breath, and he will only be so heart-to-heart when facing Xiao Xiao.

They fought together with the three brothers in the world, although Li Qitian changed greatly after he ascended the throne, Ji Zeyu never changed him.

Every time he is in the same place with Ji Zeyu, he can relax and take off his guard, and he doesn't have to worry about his inappropriate words and causing trouble.

Both of them couldn't help but relax, and even the upright sitting posture that they had cultivated over the years of habit was relaxed at this time.

"Don't just care about me, isn't it dangerous for you to go to the south?" Ji Zeyu sighed, "The hatred of the people in the old capital of the Yan Dynasty for you is not as small as those old and stubborn people in the capital. You're a drag again. Although Wei Chiyan doesn't have any great talents, there is no shortage of people around him who want to restore the country to help him give advice, it is the territory of the Great Yan Dynasty, but you are fighting alone in the enemy group......"

When Ji Zeyu said this, he felt more and more that Xiao Xiao's situation was already difficult, and he only hated that he had not given birth to three heads and six arms, and he could not help Xiao Xiao get through the difficulties.

Xiao Xiao was able to comprehend Ji Zeyu's concern, stretched out his arm and patted Ji Zeyu's shoulder: "Good brother, I know your concern." In fact, to put it bluntly, whether it is the south or the north, the current situation is not optimistic, we are separated, we don't know what the situation will be next time, we can only take care of each other. ”

"Yes." Ji Zeyu said with a smile, "Those of us have long put life and death aside, and the horse leather shroud is not a bad thing." It's just that now that you have a bond, you have to work harder to survive. If you have any problems, you can always send someone to me, and you know how to contact my people. ”

Xiao Xiao nodded movingly, "You too." Feel free to come to me, you know all the things I have under my hands. ”

"Hmm." Ji Zeyu also nodded.

The two men looked at each other, both worried about each other.

As they thought, it may be an honor for a man to fight on the battlefield, and the horse leather shroud. But now that they have a woman who hopes to spend the rest of their lives together, and their child is about to be born, it is impossible for them to care about nothing as before.

Sure enough, when a man has concern, he will become weak. But this kind of weakness is as sweet as a gluttony for the owl.

The two discussed the situation in the north and south in a low voice, and Xiao Xiao told Ji Zeyu all the crises and countermeasures he could think of, and Ji Zeyu also gave Xiao Xiao his guesses about the situation in the south.

The two discussed that when the war broke out, they could hardly control the volume of their speech, or they were afraid that the sound of talking would be too loud and alarm the spies outside.

The two of them exchanged information until they finished, and seeing that it was not early, Ji Zeyu got up to say goodbye.

Standing by the window, watching Ji Zeyu's figure in the privacy and night, it took a long time to clean up his mood and go back to the bedroom with a light sigh.

In fact, both he and Ji Zeyu deliberately avoided heavy and suffocating topics.

None of them can guarantee that they will have a chance to meet alive in the future.

But as a general, he is so helpless. Who made them born in troubled times.

Xiao Xiao went back to the bedroom lightly, he was afraid that the cold air on his body would startle Qin Yining, so he stood at the door of the house for a while, making sure that his body was not cold, and then tiptoed back to the bedside.

The low voices of him and Ji Zeyu did not disturb Qin Yining in the slightest.

Lowering his eyes and looking at Qin Yining's sweet and well-behaved sleeping face, Xiao Xiao's heart was already surrounded by warm and soft honey, he relaxed his movements, and quietly lay beside her, because he knew that she was in front of him, so he didn't get too close, and looked at her from a distance.

No matter how much irritability there is, as long as he stays by Qin Yining's side, he can quickly adjust his mood.

Even in order to protect Qin Yining and their children, he can only succeed on this trip south, not fail!

The team led by Xiao Xiao and Qin Yining set off the next day. Qin Yining sat in the carriage, didn't dare to look directly at the weeping Sun and Ma, just smiled at Qin Huaiyuan, and nodded to Cao Yuqing not far from Qin Huaiyuan, and closed the warm curtain.

When the team left the city gate, even Tiangong seemed to feel the sadness of parting, and the snow was drifting.

He sat on his horse, handed over the road guide in front of the city gate, and led the convoy to leave Kyoto slowly.

And Lu Heng, who was dressed in a gray squirrel cloak, stood inside the city gate, hiding half of his face in the hood, and watched the carriage that Qin Yining was riding in slowly drive away with an expressionless face before turning around.

"Master, it's cold, you take care of yourself." The entourage diligently held up oil-paper umbrellas to cover the snow.

Lu Heng didn't answer, he just walked on the green brick road with an expressionless face, and said for a long time: "Are all the people in Liangcheng arranged?" ”
