After sending off the Queen Mother and others, Hua Yan was really tired, so she lay back on the bed and fell asleep.

After sleeping until evening, Hua Yan listened to a familiar sound of hurried footsteps and entered the Phoenix East Garden, she woke up, sat up, and lifted the curtains.

The footsteps came to the door and stopped suddenly.

At this time, it was dark in the room, and Hua Yan could only see a vague figure through the hidden door, and she shouted softly, "Yun Chi? ”

Yun Chi brushed the coolness on the brocade robe, pushed open the door, walked into the house, and said "um", "It's me." ”

"Is something wrong?" Hua Yan looked at him, although the room was dark, he could also see the hidden emotions on his face.

Yun Chi took a deep breath, "I want to leave Beijing immediately, just now the army department is eight hundred miles urgent, and the king of Lingnan sent troops to attack Shanling Pass." ”

Hua Yan was surprised, "The King of Lingnan actually sent troops so quickly?" ”

"Hmm." Yun Chi nodded, "It's about some news, so I should take the initiative before I go to Lingnan." ”

Hua Yan sat up straight, "How many soldiers and horses does he have?" ”

"Six hundred thousand." Yun Chi said.

Hua Yan's heart froze, and his face turned pale, "Why did he raise so many soldiers and horses?" If it is said that Su Zizhi raised those soldiers and horses in the wasteland mountain of the northland, and the imperial court did not get the slightest rumor, after all, the emperor is far away, but the king of Lingnan should not have so many soldiers and horses? Over the years, the imperial court has not ignored Lingnan, and the people of Southern Chu have been secretly conscripted to Lingnan, and there are so many people that the imperial court is unaware of. ”

Yun Chi said in a deep voice, "Do you still remember the soldiers and horses of the Anyang Palace, the Wuwei Hou Mansion, and the Jingguo Mansion?" ”

"Naturally, I remember." Hua Yan nodded, suddenly had a bad premonition, and looked at Yun Chi, "You mean to say that the King of Lingnan took the soldiers and horses of the three mansions?" ”

"Yes, except for the soldiers and horses in the north, who were subdued by you and Su Zi, the rest of the soldiers and horses were secretly taken by the king of Lingnan." Yun Chi turned around, turned the lamp, and the room suddenly brightened, and he said in a cool voice, "The Tiger Fu of Sanfu, when you were in the Northland, you handed it over to me, but because I have not had time to send someone to take care of it in the past few months, I have no skills, after all, I was exploited by the King of Lingnan, or maybe I have been secretly subdued by him a long time ago, just waiting for today." ”

"Since the establishment of the Taizu dynasty, the military system is divided into four parts, the emperor is in charge of 500,000, the Marquis of Wuwei, the Duke of Jingguo, and the King of Anyang are in charge of 200,000 respectively, and they have never gathered in one place, and they are distributed in the four realms of the southeast and northwest, with 50,000 troops in each place, and when I was in the north, my son and I recovered 150,000 soldiers, and the remaining 450,000 soldiers and horses were all taken by the king of Lingnan?"

"Yes, 450,000 soldiers and horses were taken by him. Perhaps, now I understand that Su Zi robbed you to secretly help the king of Lingnan, so as to divert my attention and have no time to take care of Lingnan, so that he has enough time to do something to the 450,000 soldiers and horses. Yun Chi said.

Hua Yan's heart was cold, "That is to say, except for a small number of soldiers and horses he raises, the rest of the 400,000 are from the imperial court." ”

"Hmm." Yun Chi nodded, "If it weren't for the fact that when I went to save you, I met Ye Lanying on the way, let her go back to Lingnan, and killed her conspiracy, then once she returned to Lingnan with a privately made weapon, the court would be even more passive now." ”

Hua Yan remembered that Ye Lanying was still locked up in the East Palace prison, her pupils shrank, and said, "Wuwei Houfu inherited the lineage of Liang Mu, passed on from generation to generation, and planned for four hundred years, this generation, Wuwei Hou spared no effort to plan for the restoration of the country and pave the way for Su Zi Cho, but Su Zi Chop was born without memory, he tried countless methods, and did not hesitate to take the life of Mrs. Wu Wei Hou, and did not force him to wake up his memory, so Su Zi Zhe, who was originally a stepping stone for Su Zi Chop to pave the way, was more in line with the hope of Wu Wei Hou to restore the country, so he gave up Su Zi Chop and re-elected Su Zi Zhe, but, Around four hundred years ago, half of the loyal ministers handed down by Liang were still desperately waiting for Su Ziqi to wake up and support him, which also led to the fact that Su Ziqi and Su Zizhu divided the power inherited by the Wuwei Hou Mansion, one person and one half. ”

"Hmm." Yun Chi didn't know the details too well, and when he listened to Hua Yan's details at this time, he thought that this was the case, and it must have been Su Ziqi who told her.

"I think, last year, when Wu Weihou knew that you chose Su Zizhu to go to the north, he decisively gave up the military power of the north, thus confusing us by handing over the military talisman, after all, he was not exposed at that time, but secretly colluded with Su Zizhi and the king of Lingnan at that time, if my expectations are right, it must be at that time, the king of Lingnan and Su Zizhi began to attack the military power of the three places." Hua Yan speculated, "In this way, it has been more than half a year, and it is not surprising that it can be successful." ”

Yun Chi pursed his lips, "Speaking of which, I still underestimated the enemy." I didn't expect that there was such a big and deep water behind it, and it was a four-hundred-year-long calculation, I thought that after you and I got married, I would start it, and I was in time, but I didn't expect it to ......"

"I didn't expect that a few days after you and I got married, I found out that I was pregnant, and the morning sickness was so bad that it took your heart, and then at the palace banquet, I was kidnapped again, and the conspiracy was intertwined, and it has reached this point." Hua Yan stretched out her hand to hug him, "Speaking of which, it's all my fault." ”

"Say what? If it weren't for you, Nanchu's current situation might have been even worse. Yun Chi patted her body, "I can't imagine that someone in Houliang rebelled, you watch from the wall and see what it will be like for me to overturn." After all, if you don't marry me, the Hua family will not care about the overthrow of the dynasty, the change of dynasties, and the involvement of Hongchen rights. ”

"That's right." Hua Yan couldn't think of it, she sighed, "Big brother should have received your letter and led the troops to leave, right?" Now the king of Lingnan has 600,000 soldiers and horses, and Su Zi has 500,000 soldiers and horses in addition to those taken by you. How many soldiers and horses do we have? ”

Yun Chi said, "There are 300,000 soldiers and horses in the Jinglu Soldiers and Horses Battalion, 500,000 soldiers and horses in Qingyuan City in the north, and 500,000 soldiers and horses in the southwest. However, the soldiers and horses of the Jinglu Soldiers and Horses Battalion could not be mobilized, and they had to guard the capital, so as not to attack the capital by Su Zizhi. Counting up, there are also millions of soldiers and horses available, and Lu Zhiling's letter has already led the troops to set off, don't worry. ”

Hua Yan's eyes showed a look of compassion, "I'm not worried that we won't be able to hold the country, I'm just a little unimaginable, this battle is fought, and the soldiers of Nanchu kill each other."

"The knot that has been tied for 400 years must be untied, it is a matter of Houliang and Nanchu, perhaps, in my place, it can really end." Yun Chi said.

Hua Yan's hand holding his body tightened, his head rubbed in his arms, he was silent for a while, and whispered, "I'll pack your things for you and send you out of the city." ”

Yun Chi was about to say no, but looking at the flower face in his arms, he swallowed back the words of refusal, he knew that compared to his reluctance to be exposed, she was also the one who was reluctant to give up, she was strong from her bones, he nodded, and whispered, "Okay." ”

So, that day and night, the East Palace began to get busy, packing the bags for His Royal Highness the Prince's departure.

Hua Yan was thinking about things while following Mama Fang to pack up her things, and after a while, she said to Yun Chi, "Bring 100,000 soldiers and horses from Jinglu." ”

Yun Chi looked at her.

Hua Yan's eyes were clear, "300,000 soldiers and horses in Jinglu guard the capital, some are too much, 200,000 is enough, my brother went to the Northland Wasteland Mountain, you went to Lingnan to deal with the King of Lingnan and Su Zizhi, you two north and south respectively contain them, presumably they have no time to come to the capital to make trouble, even if they send people to the capital to make trouble, with me and An Shu separated, they will definitely not let people make trouble." Therefore, there is no need for the capital to keep so many soldiers and horses. ”

"Okay." Yun Chi nodded, knowing that if he didn't bring it, she would be uneasy.

Seeing that he agreed, Hua Yan took out a piece of gold silk soft armor and handed it to him, "You wear this on your body, no matter what time you are allowed to take it off." I'll give you a dress. ”

"Okay." Yun Chi nodded.

Hua Yan took matters into her own hands, took off her coat for Yun Chi, put on her golden silk soft armor, and took out a heart shield from her sleeve and stuffed it into his heart, "And this, you have to wear it too, don't rely on your high martial arts, you don't know how to protect yourself." ”

"Okay." Yun Chi's eyes were gentle.

Hua Yan gently instructed again, "Don't worry about me and the child, we will be fine, wait for you to come back, don't be impatient, don't think I'm a month old, I must have you to take care of me, and don't rush in order to catch up with the birth of the child, some things, don't be in a hurry, march to fight, don't be impatient, I will tell our children that his father loves him and his mother very much." His father alone bears the rivers and mountains of Southern Chu, tens of millions of people, the peace of the world, and the peace of the country. He will be very well-behaved, very sensible, and will understand his father. ”

Yun Chi listened to Hua Yan's chatter, stretched out his hand, dragged Hua Yan into his arms, lowered his head and kissed her hair, his voice was a little hoarse, "Hua Yan, why are you so well-behaved." ”

When someone else's husband travels away, the wife is probably reluctant to give up and tearfully send her husband away, hating to have to let her husband leave.

And her wife, just because she is the crown princess, because of this identity, she earnestly instructed, in order to make him feel at ease and not worry about the future.

Hua Yan chuckled and kissed his hair back, "Well, I'm very well-behaved, so you have to be well-behaved, listen to my words, and the child and I are waiting for you to come back from the chaos." ”
