"Father, why are we here all this time?" On that day, Gu Er suddenly asked Zhao Yuanting.

"Because Dakang and Beihu are at war, my father wants to guard here to prevent Dakang's territory from being invaded." Zhao Yuanting picked up Gu Er and patiently explained.

"That'...... Why don't you let the minister keep watch? Gu Er had a puzzled face, beating him for being sensible, Zhao Yuanting has always been in the palace, in the court, no matter what happens, Zhao Yuanting just orders to go down.

"Those ministers are no match for the Beihu generals." Zhao Yuanting smiled, "Ji'er, from now on, you have to learn your skills well, so that you can inherit Dakang in the future." ”

Gu Er nodded as if he didn't understand, and said, "Father, isn't that Beihu general very powerful?" ”

Zhao Yuanting was stunned, finally shook his head, and smiled at Gu Er: "Not as powerful as my father." ”

Gu Er stopped asking, and smiled at Zhao Yuanting.

Zhao Yuanting looked at Gu Er, he was very loving, every time he saw Gu Er, he was happy in his heart. He was very glad that he had brought Gu Er out at the beginning, if it weren't for Gu Er, how worried and sad he would have been in the past five months.

***

Another month passed, autumn came, and the morning and evening winds cooled away, driving away the dullness of summer.

King Beihu, who was in Yuanjing, received a letter of discussion and peace from Dakang, and when he opened it, he saw the word Zhao Yi signed under the book of proposals.

King Beihu was taken aback, and was busy recalling the war report during this period of time, but he didn't hear the news of Zhao Yuanting's death, how could the emperor of Dakang change hands?

The king of Beihu immediately sent a secret letter to Huerhe.

Five days later, the secret letter arrived at the barracks, Huerhe opened the secret letter, and was surprised to see the contents inside, Emperor Dakang changed hands, and a yellow-mouthed child actually became the emperor, this matter was too unexpected for Huerhe, so he held the secret letter for a while, and he was stunned.

When he returned to the big tent at night, Huerhe told Xia Muyao about the matter, and he discussed it with the deputy generals for an afternoon, and it was very likely that the change of ownership of Emperor Dakang was the ghost of Zhang Yaxian, and while Zhao Yuanting had not returned from the expedition for a long time, he simply took over the rights of Zhao Yuanting, and it was not difficult to do it with the power of Juyizhuang behind Zhang Yaxian.

Xia Muyao was also taken aback when she heard the news, "If it was really Zhang Yaxian's doing, why did she do this?" She has the eldest prince in her hand, and this country will be hers sooner or later, why should she be so anxious? Isn't it much better to be a queen than to be a queen mother? ”

"Queen?" Huerhe smiled faintly, "You don't have to guess to know, according to Zhao Yuanting's temperament, how good can he be to Zhang Yaxian?" Rights or feelings? Zhang Yaxian has made the best decision. “

Xia Muyao lowered her eyes, thinking of all the things she had done when she was by Zhao Yuanting's side in the past, so Zhao Yuanting was a little cold-blooded, how could he have given Zhang Yaxian a little warmth?

"Then in this situation, the new emperor wants to negotiate peace, what will happen if Zhao Yuanting knows?" Xia Muyao couldn't help but be a little puzzled, and she also felt a little bit about Zhao Yuanting being stabbed in the back by her own people.

Thinking about how Zhao Yuanting planned properly, he didn't expect Zhang Yaxian to betray him, right?

"According to the current situation, Zhao Yuanting doesn't seem to know what is happening in the court, if he does, he should negotiate peace with us, defect to the Imperial City of Dakang, and regain his own power." Huerkh guessed.

"Isn't he an enemy on his back? Shouldn't we take the opportunity to let him return Gu'er? Xia Muyao looked at Huerhe, and a fanatical hope ignited in her eyes.

Huerhe looked at Xia Muyao and thought quietly for a while, "It seems that I am going to talk to Zhao Yuanting." ”

Xia Muyao looked at Huerhe, her heart couldn't help but jump wildly, she seemed to see the possibility of Gu Er's return, she was looking forward to it, but she didn't dare to look forward to it too much, she was nervous.

Huerhe thought for a while, then sat down at the table in the big tent, picked up a pen and revised the book, and then sealed the secret letter and sent someone to deliver it to the Dakang military camp early tomorrow morning.

***

The next day, Zhao Yuanting woke up, had breakfast after practicing, and then looked at Gu Er, and went to the military tent.

Not long after arriving at the military tent, a soldier came to report: Your Majesty, Beihu sent a messenger to deliver a secret letter.

Zhao Yuanting's brows furrowed slightly, and he stretched out his hand to the soldier, motioning for him to hand over the secret letter.

When opening the secret letter, Zhao Yuanting thought about several possibilities in his heart, but he never thought that after opening the secret letter, he would see that Du Dakang had changed hands and had already submitted a peace letter to Beihu.

Zhao Yuanting's face was pale, and he sat in the military tent without saying a word.

The lieutenants didn't know what was going on, and they didn't dare to speak easily, so they looked at each other, and they didn't dare to come out.

After a long time, Zhao Yuanting picked up the pen and ink placed on the side of the desk, wrote a receipt, sealed it, and asked the soldiers to hand it over to the messenger of Beihu. Zhao Yuanting agreed to meet Huerhe in the afternoon in a small pavilion in the wilderness, just the two of them.

When Huerhe received the receipt, he was silent, and he guessed in his heart what Zhao Yuanting would say to him in a while...... This secret meeting, do you want to tell Xia Muyao?

In the end, Huerhe decided not to tell Xia Muyao first, and after he met Zhao Yuanting and listened to Zhao Yuanting's thoughts, he would come back and tell Xia Muyao.

The place chosen by Zhao Yuanting is the middle of the garrison of their two armies, a hill that is not very high, and there is a small pavilion at the bottom of the mountain, Zhao Yuanting went early, standing there quietly, he did not bring an attendant, for Huerhe, although he is an opponent, but he knows that Huerhe is a downright person and will not take advantage of people's danger.

When Huerhe arrived, he saw Zhao Yuanting standing alone in the pavilion, he heard the sound of horses' hooves, turned around and looked at Huerhe, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

He could not have imagined that one day he would have to negotiate with such a strong opponent, and the content of the negotiation would be to compromise with him.

But Zhao Yuanting felt that he was not ashamed to compromise with an opponent like Huerhe.

Huerhe walked to the pavilion step by step and looked at Zhao Yuanting, they looked at each other, no one spoke, and each looked into the distance.

"I still know from your mouth, it's ironic to say." After a while, Zhao Yuanting finally spoke first.

"Dakang is already your son's, and you can't be called me now." Huerhe sneered and teased.

"Ha," Zhao Yuanting raised his head and laughed, "This country, I originally planned to give it to my stepson." ”

Stepson? Huerhe was stunned, and then guessed that the stepchild in Zhao Yuanting's mouth was Gu'er.

"You keep your country for yourself, and you don't need it for my son." Huerhe said-for-tat.

"My stepson is my son." Zhao Yuanting immediately retorted, he could give in to Huerhe for other things, but his stepson, he thought it was his son.

When Huerhe heard this, he immediately stepped forward and grabbed Zhao Yuanting's neck, "Please be careful when you speak, if Yao'er listens to this, you will kill her." ”

Zhao Yuanting didn't resist either, his heart felt like eating a yellow lotus, did Xia Muyao really hate him so much? If she knew that her stepchild was his flesh and blood, she would have died?

"Do you know that just because you insulted Yao'er, I should have killed you." Huerhe said, his heart ached.

"Then you can kill me, see if you can kill me." Zhao Yuanting smiled coldly and looked at Huerhe fearlessly.

"You give Gu'er to me first." Huerhe said and exerted force on his hand.

"My stepson is my son, why should I give him to you?" Zhao Yuanting smiled coldly again, "Huerhe, if I hadn't been negligent back then, Heshuo would have been mine." ”

This is not the first time Zhao Yuanting has said this, every time Huerhe hears it, he feels that the whole person is going to blow up, and this time is no exception, he punched Zhao Yuanting over, and then, the two fought in the small pavilion.

***

Zhao Yuanting and Huerhe are both powerful and skilled people, almost fists to the flesh, and they have damaged the surrounding things, and they demolished the pavilion after a while.

until the two of them lost their strength, and then they each lay on the ground, gasping for breath.

"You know what? One of the things I regret the most now is that I have been wronged by Heshuo for the throne, if I were not so greedy for power and lived in seclusion with Heshuo, I would not have these grievances in the future. After a long time, Zhao Yuanting sighed and said.

"There are no regrets in the world, in the final analysis, it's just that you have no chance, Yao'er is mine, I have known it since I first saw her." Huerhe said coldly.

"It's too late to say anything now, Pegatron will never forgive me again, and all I can leave is my stepchild." Zhao Yuanting's tone suddenly became sad.

Speaking of Gu'er, Huerhe became angry again, he sat up, stretched out his hand and pinched Zhao Yuanting's neck, "You still have the face to mention Gu'er, do you know how much pain you brought to her by taking him away from Yao'er, she didn't miss Gu'er for a day, and how many tears she shed in secret, do you know?" ”

"Heh, no matter how painful Heshuo is, she doesn't still have you by her side, and I have nothing but my stepson." Zhao Yuanting stared at Huerhe, and his eyes were full of pain.

"Gu Er is my child, Zhao Yuanting, you are crazy to think of him as your child, hurry up and return Gu Er to Yao'er, otherwise I will really kill you now." Huerhe said, and the strength in his hands increased again.

"Kill, kill me, and Peshuo will never see his stepson." Zhao Yuanting had a grim smile on his face.

"Zhao Yuanting, you don't deserve to say that you like Yao'er." Seeing Zhao Yuanting threatening him with Gu'er, Huerhe's face showed disdain.

"If we were to switch roles now, would you still be able to say such high-sounding words? In the final analysis, it is you who get Pegatron, and you naturally have a reason for what you say. Zhao Yuanting closed his eyes and gritted his teeth.

Huerhe's raised fist stayed in mid-air for a long time, and then slowly put it down, and then he let go of Zhao Yuanting, and then cut to the chase: "Say, why are you looking for me today?" ”
