In the morning, the sky was bright, and as soon as the gate of Linzi City was opened, there were several men who lowered the brim of their hats, carrying burdens, and mixed in them.

The guards guarding the city glanced at it, but didn't ask too much, just greeted a few words impatiently.

The guards not far away watched a few people leave, turned their heads and reported to the people.

Wen Ling waited for a long time after Gu Xun left before falling asleep, and when Wen Ying woke up the next day, Wen Ling was still asleep, Wen Ying asked the maid to wait for her to finish changing, and Wen Ling woke up after hearing some movement.

"Sister ......"

"Chang'an woke up......" Wen Ying put on the earrings, walked to Wen Ling's side and helped her sit up, looking at the blue and black under her eyes, she said suspiciously, "Didn't you sleep well last night?" ”

"Hmm...... I had a dream......" Wen Ling rubbed his little face, and the look on his face was indeed not very good.

She dreamed of that rainy night.

Booming bang.

She lay in the bamboo hut in a daze.

This time, Gu Xun didn't call her.

Instead, she was left there alone.

She heard the sound of mud and stones rolling down, and it seemed that the cold drowned herself inside.

"You don't look good." Wen Ying touched Wen Ling's little face worriedly.

"I'm ......" Wen Ling got up and moved, and Yi Yu and Yi Qi saw the blood stains on Wen Ling's bed.

"The princess has come to Kwai Shui."

"Quick, let someone go and prepare some jujube water." Wen Ying hurriedly commanded and glared at Wen Ling, "So careless, I don't even know that Kwai Shui is coming." ”

"I ...... I forgot. Wen Ling looked absent-minded.

Wen Ying looked at Wen Ling's appearance and thought of what Yu Wenjing said last night.

After pondering for a moment, Wen Ying told the maids to take good care of Wen Ling before going to the dining room.

Because of the delay, Nian Yun asked a few words.

Yu Wenhao and Yu Wenjing have both gone to the court, Nian Yun has been sad for a long time because of the matter of King Nanyang, but she also knows that no matter what, the body of King Nanyang will not be transported to Linzi, and she will not dare to go now.

The Nanyang Palace, which has always guarded the southwest border, is also to be buried in Yijun.

It's just that the king of Nanyang himself is already a prince of Yipin, and now that he is dead, he can't go up for meritorious service, so he can only add a nickname.

After all, the nickname is a false name, and the prince of Nanyang has now been canonized as the new king of Nanyang.

The concubine of the king of Nanyang, Nian Ming, has made a name for herself in this battle, one is to implement the female official order, and the other is to make a reward for the martyrdom of the king of Nanyang, so Yu Wenhao issued a decree to canonize Nian Qing as the lord of Guoan, and specially allowed to lead the female generals to go into battle to avenge her father.

Although he is the county lord like Wen Ying in the past, his identity as a national security is different.

Nian Qingqing also took off his red suit, changed into a man's costume, and followed Nian Qingqing to fight on the front line.

But that's all for later.

Now that Gu Xun is gone, when Wen Ying went to the dining room, the people left by Yu Wenjing whispered a few words beside Wen Ying, Wen Ying nodded and sat next to Nian Yun.

"Ya'er, how is Chang'an?" Last night's movement was also heard.

"I came to Kwai Shui, and my face didn't look very good." Wen Ying said softly, "The second prince of the Jin Kingdom has already left, and it will probably have some impact on Chang'an." ”

Nian Yun nodded, and the spoon in his hand stirred in the porridge, "The word fate is the most wonderful." ”

followed the Queen Mother to read the scriptures for many years, and Nian Yun slowly explored some mysteries.

"The princess is here." The maidservant girl watched Wen Ling, who had been picked up, come over from a distance, and reported to Nian Yun and Wen Ying.

It's rare that Wen Ling didn't jump around.

Instead, he saluted Nian Yun and Wen Ying in a proper manner before sitting down.

The meal was eaten quietly, Wen Ying and Nian Yun both knew about it, but now they had to treat it as if they didn't know about it.

Wen Ying still had to go back to the palace to serve the Queen Mother, so Nian Yun let her go first.

After the maidservants took away all the things on the table, Nian Yun took Wen Ling's hand and said, "Chang'an, my mother is in a bit dull, can I accompany my mother to the yard for a walk?" ”

"Hmm." Wen Ling nodded, and also obediently responded.

In the past, my youngest daughter was the kind that said one sentence by herself, and she could reply with three sentences.

Why is it so weird now, quiet and almost not like her?

At the bottom of her selfishness, Wen Ling still likes her daughter to talk a lot.

In this way, the air will not be dull because of tedious things.

"Chang'an is not feeling well?" Nian Yun squeezed Wen Ling's hand, "Or, Chang'an has something on his mind?" ”

Wen Ling subconsciously wanted to shake his head.

How dare she say that Gu Xun came last night, and how dare she say that she helped Gu Xun hide all night?

Nian Yun was silent for a moment, recalling that when he was a child, he did something wrong, which he would never dare to admit to Nian Sizhong and Zhang Jia.

Especially if you know you're not doing it right.

She hid Gu Xun last night, but Wen Ying was still in the room last night.

If it spreads, it will not only be her reputation, but also Wen Ying's reputation.

But is she left to hold this matter in her heart alone?

"Chang'an, the second prince of the Jin Kingdom pretended to be a farmer this morning and left Linzi, do you know?" After Nian Yun turned his head and asked the maids to go down, he said to Wen Ling alone.

Wen Ling's eyes dodged slightly, "Long ...... Chang'an doesn't know ......"

Wen Ling lies.

But he never lied to Nian Yun.

On weekdays, Wen Ling wants to find an excuse to go out to play, and when he says it to Yu Wenhao, it is called a face that does not change.

But the rhyme of the year is different.

In Wen Ling's eyes, her mother has always indulged her and spoiled her.

"Chang'an, you have never lied to the queen mother......" Nian Yun's voice was slightly heavy, "You also know that no matter what you do, as long as you make it clear, the queen mother will not blame you." If something goes wrong, we can find a solution together. ”

"Mother......" Wen Ling was entangled in her heart, and her eyes were still red for a while, "Mother, you know everything." ”

My mother must have known before she asked.

"It's Gu Xun who is gone, aren't you happy?" Nian Yun asked softly, while sitting in the pavilion with Wen Ling.

“…… It's not that I'm unhappy, my mother also knew at the beginning that Qi Guo couldn't keep his ......," Wen Ling said in a low voice.

The State of Qi and the State of Jin are going to form an alliance, and since they want to form an alliance, it is naturally impossible to keep them as protons.

It's just that now the Qi State has lent 500,000 soldiers and horses, leaving Gu Xun here for the time being.

He returned the soldiers and horses in the Jin Kingdom, and Gu Xun also wanted to go back.

The scarcity of the emperor's heirs is destined to be impossible to easily break, just like now, if something happens to Gu Rin, Gu Xun will immediately go back to control the situation.

"Chang'an is just ...... It's just ......" Wen Ling frowned.

Although she talked about the Jin Kingdom with her mother and queen brother.

But those are only the past history and truths, and they will not have any change or impact on the present.

About Gu Xun herself, she has never told the public.

Gu Xun's thoughts, his heart, and even his pure and pure ambivalent feelings for Gu Rin.

"Distressed?"

"It's not ......" Wen Ling took a deep breath and looked at Nian Yun, "Gu Xun went back, he was going to the border pass, and he said he would come back." If he can do it, he will never break his promise, but mother, I'm afraid ......"

Wen Ling's eyes looked at Nian Yun, but he didn't continue.

But Nian Yun understood.

Nian Yun pursed her lips and said after a while, "Chang'an, do you know that once some decisions are made, there is no going back. ”

Wen Ling's back sank.

She understood.

Now that Qi Guo has the original intention of forming an alliance with the Jin State, the consciousness of harmony, what the Jin State wants is only an alliance with the relatives, although she chose Gu Xun, but once Gu Xun is gone, Wen Ling is the same, she can't choose, she will marry Gu Rin.

Wen Ling clenched his fists and looked at his moon-white nails, "I won't regret it." ”

The path she chose for herself will continue no matter what.

Otherwise, would she have to tell Jin Guo now that she repented?

She just wants to marry Gu Xun, not Gu Rin?

Let's not talk about the truth or falsehood of Gu Rin's accident, Gu Rin is all hope for the Jin Kingdom, and her reluctance to marry Gu Rin is tantamount to slandering Gu Rin, which will also affect the Qi Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom. If the Qi State is friendly with the surrounding countries, and the Jin State is weak, it is fine, but the main reason is that Tuyuhun and the Qi State have been at odds for hundreds of years, and it is an endless situation. Although starting a war will be a gamble and win the world, it will lead to the people's misery, and the Qi State will not do this.

So now, this situation is no longer able to retreat.

Now I'm just waiting for Wen Ling and Lu.

Everyone knew that once Wen Ling and Lu were killed, the Jin Kingdom would definitely personally send someone with sufficient status to formally propose marriage.

Gu Rin said that it was half a year before, but now about three months have passed, and there are about three months left before Wen Ling and Lu, isn't it that Gu Rin calculated everything at the beginning?

*

On the border of the Jin Kingdom, a man in a dark robe sat in the camp tent with a cold face.

"Master, the young master is already on his way."

The person who replied was Rong Bing, the most trusted guard by Gu Rin's side.

"Well, is the news from Tuyuhun accurate?" Gu Rin pinched his eyebrows.

"It's been decided, do you want to inform the monarch of Qi Guo?" Rong Bing said solemnly.

"It's too late." Gu Rin said firmly.

"But the Jin State and the Qi State have formed an alliance, if this news is not told, I am afraid that the Qi State is unprepared and will suffer heavy ......losses," Rong Bing said.

"You sent someone to pass the news, and when will our blood slaves be completed?" Gu Rin asked.

Gu Rin disappeared for three years and infiltrated Tuyuhun incognito.

It took a lot of effort to gain the trust of the core figures of the Tuyuhun tribe and get some news.

I thought that what he knew was close to the core, the slave or something, although he knew, but he calculated that the slave would not have much impact on the Qi country.

But I never expected that those dead slaves were Tuyuhun's biggest secret weapon.

"There is still half a month, and our Gu seed is too few...... Moreover, many people would rather have a whole corpse, so our blood slaves are far less prepared than Tuyuhun for many years. ”

Gu Rin said in a deep voice, "Tuyuhun's blood slaves are made of dead slaves, but our blood slaves were all soldiers before they were alive. ”

This alone is much higher than the quality of Tuyuhun's blood slaves.
