As time passed, more and more soldiers died, and the food in the city became less and less, and finally the second prince decided that it was not a way to go on like this, and he planned to go out to find food.

Liu Min scoffed at the proposal: "The road outside is blocked, how can you get out?" ”

The second prince curled the corners of his lips, glanced at him and said, "The road behind is blocked, but there is no road ahead." ”

The road ahead? Isn't the road ahead the way of the Tatars? Liu Min thought of this, and couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, even if he was dissatisfied with the second prince, he had to admit that his idea was really bold enough.

The second prince, who has always been looked down upon by Liu Min, always felt that he couldn't support the wall in the mud, but he didn't expect that this time, the second prince gave him a surprise, such a bold idea, I really didn't expect it to be put forward by the second prince.

It's bold enough, and it's unexpected enough for everyone to expect, but it's often the unexpected way that is the most effective, isn't it?

Liu Min and the second prince looked at Jiang Qingyue together, after all, it was actually Jiang Qingyue who decided the matter in the army now.

Jiang Qingyue thought for a moment, and then said: "Although it is a little bold, but it is not impossible, if it is operated well, maybe there will be an accident." ”

Okay, this is also a person who is not afraid of big things, what can Liu Min do? Secretly poke and poke to start preparing!

The second prince is just a proposal, but this matter is really not easy to handle, for a long time, one of the important reasons for the war between Tatar and Dajing is that there is a shortage of Tatar materials and too few resources, especially in winter, there are not a few Tatar people who can't survive the cold weather.

The harsh environment made them start to snatch, and it was the first time that Dajing snatched it back.

Liu Min said that he was gearing up.

Liu Min sent a group of elite Jinyi guards, plus the backbone of the reconnaissance battalion personally selected by Jiang Qingyue, and the two sides cooperated to investigate together, and a batch of food and salary would arrive in Tatar after five days.

Jiang Qingyue and others are eyeing this batch of materials!

The second prince had a bold proposal.

"There is not much food in the city, this batch of supplies is our best chance," the second prince paused, and continued: "Our soldiers are divided into two ways, one way to grab the supplies, and on the other side, we are going to fight a sneak attack, taking advantage of the Tatar soldiers to attack their base camp, when the time comes, they are in a hurry, and they can't take care of the end, this is our chance!" ”

The second prince said, a gleam flashed in his eyes: "When the time comes, the two of us will act together, go to grab the supplies first, and I, I will personally lead the army to sneak attack!" After a pause, he said loudly: "We can't let the Tatar army live any better!" ”

The current second prince is no longer the second prince of the past, and he actually has the courage to calculate the Tatar army, and this move is really wonderful and unexpected.

Even Jiang Qingyue couldn't help but nod his head and said approvingly: "Your Highness, this idea is exquisite!" Since Your Highness has led troops to raid, then I will go and grab supplies, and I am duty-bound to do so! ”

Jiang Qingyue robbed a lot of grain merchants a few days ago, and suddenly felt that robbers were a very enjoyable profession, but she couldn't rob others casually, but if it was to rob the Tatar army, she would not have this kind of concern, so Jiang Qingyue volunteered very much.

When Liu Min heard this, he almost burst into tears, it's over, Jiang Qingyue is going to the enemy army to find excitement this time!

The second prince blurted out: "No! You can't go! ”

Jiang Qingyue glanced at him suspiciously, and the second prince said this time: "Qingyue, anyone can go, you can't, Dajing can do without me, there can be no one, but it definitely can't be without you!" After a pause, he said solemnly: "What's more, you don't think about others, but also think about the emperor." ”

Liu Min nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, it's okay to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy in peacetime, but this time it's deep into the tiger's den, the Tatar is in short supply, and the army of escorting grain and grass will definitely not be less, you must not go!" ”

Liu Min felt bitter in his heart, it was really bitter, he finally survived the kidnapping, survived the city break, and survived the siege of the city, if something happened during the sneak attack, how could it be good?

Jiang Qingyue didn't care: "How can there be a war that is not a threat?" Besides, if the Tatars want my life, I'm afraid it's not so easy! As she spoke, she looked up proudly.

"That's not going to work either!" Liu Min said categorically, paused, and he looked bitter: "Son, you can do it, don't do it again, if the emperor knows that you are going to take risks, he is reluctant to do anything to you, but he will definitely not let me go!" Or I'll go, I'll go! ”

The emperor definitely wouldn't feel sorry for him, Liu Min's heart was full of sad thoughts.

Jiang Qingyue looked displeased: "What's the matter?" When do I have to look at his face when I do things? ”

Liu Min's face was a little bad, what's the matter, could it be that the emperor listened to Jiang Qingyue in private before? This is too detrimental to the majesty of the emperor!

If Liu Min knew, his wise and martial Emperor His Majesty would still be in trouble, I don't know what kind of expression it was.

The second prince looked at Liu Min and bowed his head with a straight face: "Since this is the case, then this matter will be handed over to Commander Liu!" After a pause, he ignored Jiang Qingyue's need to speak, and continued: "It's so decided, five days later, both prongeds!" ”

After the second prince finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Qingyue: "You also have more important things, the road outside has not yet been opened, I am worried that the Tatar army will come to sabotage, you take people to the road, this is also very important!" After a pause, he continued: "If you still treat me as a general, don't question my decision. ”

Jiang Qingyue nodded reluctantly, she no longer argued, and the current situation in the city could no longer tolerate their hesitation.

In the handsome tent, Jiang Qingyue sat in a chair, looked at the secret letter in his hand, and then put the letter on the candle and lit it, the fire shining on her face, reflecting her expressionless face.

Jiang Qingyue went to the General's Mansion, and Su Liangyi was still guarded in the Mansion.

The current people are not as indignant as Su Liangyi was before, although there are still many people who think that he collaborated with the enemy and committed treason, but more people are beginning to judge this matter more calmly.

At first, some people believed that Su Liangyi could not collaborate with the enemy and commit treason, he was wronged, although such a voice was weak, but those who believed in Su Liangyi were very firm.

This made Jiang Qingyue feel a lot more comfortable, this old man finally didn't pay in vain.

Su Liangyi's spirit was not bad, but he was a little anxious, and when he saw Jiang Qingyue coming, he asked about the battle situation outside, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he said again: "I am wearing a guilty body now, you shouldn't be able to tell me this." ”

Jiang Qingyue didn't have so many worries, she said: "The situation outside is okay, you have brought out a terrific army." ”

Su Liangyi's eyes turned red.

Jiang Qingyue took out the map, and then clicked on the location: "We're going to start here!" ”

Su Liangyi's eyes flashed: "Have you found Tuoba Gang?" ”

"Not yet, this war, Tuoba Gang has not shown up, I have sent Jinyi Wei to look for Tuoba Gang, but there has been no news, I estimate, he is afraid that he is going to play a big game in the back." Jiang Qingyue furrowed his brows and said: "Tuoba Gang is a person who is ambitious, and this war was also provoked by him, the purpose is to fight for the throne, I heard that the body of the Tatar King is not very good, and several of his brothers are fighting for power, but they have not wasted their minds." ”

Su Liangyi was a little uncomfortable mentioning Tuoba Gang, he was captured by the Tatars, and he was rescued by Tuoba Gang, which was a shame for Su Liangyi, and he was always ashamed to mention it.

Jiang Qingyue didn't know much about an old general's thoughts, she looked at Su Liangyi, and said solemnly: "This ambush is not only related to the survival of the people and soldiers in the city, but also to the survival of Dajing...... About the man behind the scenes......"

At the mention of this matter, Su Liangyi's expression changed slightly, this is what he is most concerned about!

Su Liangyi thought for a while, and then picked up a pen and wrote a few names: "You go find a few people, and when you ambush, find a way to add them in." ”

Jiang Qingyue took it, Su Liangyi has been in the army for many years, so naturally he has his own henchmen who are unknown.

I hope everything goes well this time.

Jiang Qingyue left the General's Mansion and walked to his residence, and saw that the second prince was already waiting outside the door with wine.

When the second prince saw Jiang Qingyue, he smiled, "Qingyue, are you back?" ”

With such a clear and bright smile, it is as if he has not experienced suffering, and he is still the high-spirited prince at the beginning.

Jiang Qingyue's heart felt a little heavy, and she walked towards the second prince.

The second prince said: "I brought good wine and meat, it is your favorite elbow," paused, he was a little embarrassed: "Now the materials are in short supply, I have been looking for a long time, and I have spent a lot of money to buy it!" ”

As we all know, Jiang Qingyue loves elbows alone, and the two walked into the room together.

At this time, in the ice and snow somewhere in the mountains, Zhou Ruian looked at the moon in the sky, and was a little anxious.

Zhou Ruian glanced at Lin Zheyuan: "How long will it take for us to arrive?" ”

"Twenty-third time." Lin Zheyuan couldn't help muttering, this question, Zhou Rui'an has asked it twenty-three times today, he really didn't want to answer, but he still had to answer, he looked at Zhou Rui'an: "At this rate, I'm afraid it will take seven or eight days to arrive." ”

Zhou Ruian frowned, it would take so long, "Can't you hurry up?" ”

"Thirty-third time." Lin Zheyuan said indifferently, this question Zhou Ruian asked thirty-three times: "Childe, you also know the current situation, only this road can lead to Liuzhou, don't pick it." ”

Zhou Rui'an was angry: "What is this Liuzhou Taishou doing!" Won't you fix a few more?! ”

Lin Zheyuan looked helpless, this road was damaged by the Tatars, no matter how many days it was repaired, it was a result, but His Majesty the Emperor, who has always been wise and martial, was able to turn a blind eye, and it was really powerful.

Who let Jiang Qingyue not be there! Lin Zheyuan misses Jiang Qingyue very much, everyone used to go out together, at that time Zhou Ruian was not so difficult, compared with now, Zhou Ruian at that time could be called well-behaved and cute!

And now! It's all because Jiang Qingyue is not there!

Lin Zheyuan sighed, what should I do, endure it, they couldn't afford to mess with Zhou Rui'an when he was the prince in the past, but now that he is the emperor, how can he still kill the king? What's more, he may not be able to beat him.

"Childe, wait patiently, we're about to arrive!" Lin Zheyuan said patiently.

Zhou Ruian glanced at him and said with disgust: "What do you know?" I'm not worried about Qingyue, she is alone at the border, how helpless and scared? There is no one around me who knows cold and hot, as long as I think of her alone, I feel uncomfortable! ”

Lin Zheyuan: "??? ”

Don't you feel sorry to say this? What is your Jiang Qingyue like, don't you have any points in your heart? Helpless and afraid? Lonely? Is that Jiang Qingyue talking about? I'm not kidding him!

Lin Zheyuan laughed dryly, he really couldn't go on.

So at this time, Jiang Qingyue, who was drinking with the second prince, sneezed twice.

The second prince asked anxiously, "Qingyue, are you okay?" Is it cold? ”

Jiang Qingyue shook his head and said indifferently: "Maybe someone is scolding me." ”

The second prince paused, and then said casually: "Someone should be thinking about you, right?" You've been out for so long, he must be in a hurry. ”

Jiang Qingyue gently hooked the corners of his lips, noncommittal.

The second prince's gaze fell on her face, I don't know if it was because of the wine, his eyes were extremely hot and bright today.

"Qingyue, do you love him very much?" The second prince asked softly.

Jiang Qingyue was stunned, she didn't expect the second prince to suddenly ask this question, but for a moment, she nodded without hesitation: "Well, love." ”

It wasn't until a long time later that Zhou Rui'an learned about today's conversation between the two from the second prince, and he was so angry that he almost hit the wall, Jiang Qingyue opened his mouth for the first time to admit that he loved him in his heart, but he didn't say it to him! It's about rivals in love!

I can't bear it!

This is really the first time that Jiang Qingyue has personally admitted his feelings for Zhou Ruian, and he is determined and serious without hesitation.

The second prince raised his head and drank a glass of wine, his face showed an unconcealed astringency, and then said, "Qingyue, have you ever thought about what would happen to us if I wasn't your brother?" ”

Jiang Qingyue glanced at him in surprise, this was the first time that the second prince talked to her about the relationship between the two in person, although they already tacitly understood this issue, but the first time they said the relationship between the two in person, it was the first time.

Jiang Qingyue thought about it seriously, and then said, "If we weren't our own brothers and sisters, we would probably be dead." After a pause, she continued, "Maybe a lot of things won't be the way they are now. ”

If they weren't brothers and sisters, the position of the second prince should be to help the queen kill her, but because they are brothers and sisters, he showed mercy to her and changed a lot of things.

Jiang Qingyue asked herself, if it weren't for the second prince worrying about her, many things had made different choices, and the current situation would not be like this at all.

The second prince muttered: "If we are not brothers and sisters, I ...... "Will there be a chance?"

This sentence came to his mouth, but he didn't ask it, because maybe he already had the answer, and even if he asked, it wouldn't change anything.

Jiang Qingyue glanced at him suspiciously, and the second prince said in disguise: "That Qingyue, as a woman, do you think I ...... How about my brother? ”

"That's naturally excellent," Jiang Qingyue said without hesitation: "If I had a younger sister, I would definitely let her marry you, but it's a pity that my mother-in-law is not very good." ”

The second prince was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly, knowing that she was talking about the queen mother, he couldn't help but shake his head, yes, the queen mother's temperament is really difficult to get along with her daughter-in-law.

Would you like a man like him? If he wasn't her brother, did he have a chance?

The second prince's gaze was deep and fell on Jiang Qingyue's face.

Jiang Qingyue took a sip of wine, with an intoxicated expression on his face: "It's really good wine!" She sighed, "You say, why is there a war?" Is the wine bad? Or is the meat not tasty? Why can't we live in peace, why do we have to start a war? ”

The second prince picked up the wine glass and put it to his lips, and he did not hesitate to answer this question: "Because of ambition, because of power, and because of ...... Love. ”

Ambition and power are easy to understand, war is nothing more than these two things, but love?

Jiang Qingyue was stunned, and couldn't help but say, "Very wonderful statement." ”

The second prince said lightly: "In ancient times, there were princes of Zhou Youwang Fenghuo Opera, and such an example of being angry at the crown is not enough? Gentle Township, Hero's Tomb, no one can escape, in order to capture one person, what does it matter if the world is overthrown? With that, he threw his head up and drank the wine from his glass.

The second prince looked at Jiang Qingyue and said in a calm tone: "My queen mother has never said it, but I know that the woman she envies the most in her life is your mother, because she has received all the unreserved love from her father, even after the death of Concubine Qing, in the heart of her father, she is still alive, and no one can compare." After a pause, he continued: "A person like my father and emperor can't escape a word of love, let alone other ordinary people? ”

The second prince said, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "But I envy my father, he is lucky to meet the woman he loves, and can spend a good time with her, I think, this is something that no other lady can give him." ”

Jiang Qingyue's eyes flashed, indeed, Emperor Xuande didn't comment much, but he really had a deep affection for Concubine Qing.

Jiang Qingyue gently knocked the wine glass with chopsticks: "Ask what the world is like, and teach people to promise life and death." ”

After Jiang Qingyue finished speaking, he looked at the second prince, "Will you too?" The beauties of the country, which is more important? ”

The second prince was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "I have never had the opportunity to choose, I have no country, and I have no beauty." ”

Jiang Qingyue sighed, but said with some understanding: "It should be that the country is more important, for men, no matter how affectionate and meaningful the relationship is, it can't compare to the temptation of a good country, that is...... It's that the emperor has a deep love for my mother, but that's just that he doesn't need to choose. ”

The second prince smiled: "It's okay, I don't need to worry about this." ”

Jiang Qingyue clinked glasses with him, "It's about to start, I wish us a victory!" ”

"Victory!" The second prince clinked glasses with her heavily.

The two drank the wine in the cup, and a flash of brilliance flashed in the eyes of the second prince, he has nothing now, but he will have it after all.

Soon it was the day of action, for this day, the whole army and horses were ready, Liu Min got up early in the morning to order troops, in addition to the elite of the Jinyi Guard he brought, there were also many soldiers selected by Jiang Qingyue from the army.

The second prince, as the assault team of the Tatar battalion, also came to meet Liu Min early.

The two of them made sure that there were no mistakes according to the plan, and they planned to set off.

The second prince personally sent Liu Min out of the camp tent, turned his head, and saw Jiang Qingyue riding a horse and walking into the commando team led by Liu Min.

The expression of the second prince suddenly froze: "Qingyue? What are you doing? ”

According to the original plan, the second prince and Liu Min led a team to flank the Tatar army respectively, so that the Tatars could not take care of each other and disrupt the position, while Jiang Qingyue would take people to build roads, which was different from their plan!

Jiang Qingyue rode on the horse, and said a little casually: "I've thought about it, I don't have to go to build the road, but Commander Liu's side is more important, if we can't grab the grain and grass, we will all starve," After a pause, she raised her eyebrows and said: "That's not good, I haven't been hungry yet, so I decided to help him first!" ”

The second prince glared at Jiang Qingyue for a while, and finally he turned his gaze to Liu Min's body: "You also indulge her like this?" ”

Liu Min said with a blank face: "Who called her a deep background, I can't afford to mess with her?" ”

Of course, Liu Min was unwilling to compromise, but Jiang Qingyue told him that if he didn't agree, she would tell Zhou Rui'an, saying that Liu Min bullied her and ate her tofu.

Liu Min didn't expect Jiang Qingyue to be so shameless, and he originally planned to die rather than give in, but when he thought of Zhou Rui'an's history of making him faint, he still compromised very cowardly.

What can I do? If Zhou Ruian misunderstood him and robbed a woman with him, he would really vomit to death! I could only agree, anyway, Liu Min thought that this matter was planned so carefully, coupled with Jiang Qingyue and his ability, he could always protect Jiang Qingyue thoroughly.

Such a shameful thing, how can Commander Liu say it?!

The second prince's face was a little ugly, and he still wanted to speak, but Jiang Qingyue patted the horse impatiently and said, "Okay, they are all soldiers, don't be such a mother-in-law, Commander Liu, it's time to go!" ”

Liu Min's face was even more ugly than that of the second prince, so he answered and turned over on his horse.

The second prince suddenly grabbed Jiang Qingyue's reins: "Qingyue, don't go, Commander Liu can handle it alone!" ”

Jiang Qingyue stared at him deeply, and said pretending to be puzzled: "Don't worry, isn't it more determined that the two of us will go together?" Don't worry, Commander Liu is very powerful, and he won't let me have anything to do! ”

The second prince paused, he knew that Jiang Qingyue was thoughtful and intelligent, if he continued to talk about it, he was afraid that she would be suspicious, and finally, he let go of the reins in his hand.

Jiang Qingyue smiled slightly, her smile was open-minded and bright, she shook her horsewhip at the second prince, and said loudly: "Brothers! It's time to go! ”

With her order, the soldiers set off in their whole army, and her voice gradually dissipated into the air, and the second prince looked at her back as she left, and slowly retracted his five fingers.
