It's a pity that Shangguan Jingyu knows that he is there without makeup, and he just can't find a place to be born!

It's still the small courtyard, Dugu stood outside the firewood house and opened the door. There was nothing but firewood piled up. But he knew there would be something.

"Come out!" He snorted.

A familiar figure, a familiar face, walked out from behind the firewood without makeup, and stood in front of him, "How did you find out?" ”

"I told you not to follow me anymore." Dugu frowned, "This is not the place you should be, go immediately." ”

Su Yan shook her head, "I don't want to leave." ”

"You have already left the Eastern Capital, why do you want to come back, don't you know what death is?" His eyes froze.

"I've thought about it, I can't escape for the rest of my life, not to mention that you're here, of course I'll come back." Su Yan sat at the door, "I don't want to leave, none of you want to send me away again." ”

"You!" Dugu clenched the cold sword in his hand, "Get out." ”

Su Yan looked up at him, so stubborn that the nine cows couldn't pull it back, "My life is all given by me, why should I listen to your orders?" If I don't go, I won't go! ”

Dugu turned around and left, "If you don't go, I'll go." ”

"Isn't the reason why you are still here just to avenge the crown prince?" Su Yan stood up in shock.

When the voice fell, Dugu stood there with his back to her, but he didn't say a word.

"The prince has the grace of knowing you, what about me?" Su Yan stepped forward quickly and blocked his way, "The friendship between you men can still be paid for by life and death, what about me?" I'm right to you—"

"I will definitely pay it back." Dugu raised his head, "If you owe you, I will pay you back later." ”

Su Yan smiled bitterly, "I know what kind of wishful thinking you have, I have felt that something is wrong since I left Dongdu." The crown prince is dead, why are you still dormant in the Eastern Capital. The emperor and the old man re-purged the henchmen, it was so dangerous, but you refused to leave. ”

Dugu narrowed his dangerous eyes and stared at her face.

"Are you waiting for the second prince to get married, waiting for the emperor to leave the palace?" Su Yan choked back tears, "Is it worth it?" The word revenge, why does everyone take it so seriously? I also have a blood vendetta, and I want revenge too. But with revenge, can the dead come back to life? ”

"People die because karma is inredeemable. I have seen with my own eyes how my father and the queen mother died. But is it useful for me to kill the royal brother? The world will be chaotic, and the spirit of the father, queen and mother will not be at ease in the sky. ”

"I know, everyone calls me stupid, as long as I take out that thing, the emperor can't do anything about me, and I can still get away with it. But once that thing is taken out, the world will be in chaos and the lives will be ruined. I can't kill and I don't want to. ”

"I hate it too, but I have nowhere to vent, so I have to be willful. But no matter how willful I am, I will not kill innocents indiscriminately, let alone joke with my own life. I can live because of God's mercy. ”

Su Yan choked up, "Dugu, give up!" Kill the emperor, and the world will be in chaos. ”

"You don't have to worry about it." Dugu narrowed his eyes and passed by her.

She spun around and grabbed his sword-gripping hand, "Just when I beg you." ”

"No one can stop me." Dugu dusted off her hand.

"Dugu!" She suddenly burst into tears, rarely shedding tears without makeup, "I want to be with you." ”

He was stunned, and stiffened slightly with his back to her, "You are my master." ”

is a sentence that dismisses all her love, hatred, and sorrow.

But what I wanted to do was not your master—I choked up on these words, and I never spoke them again.

Su Yan stood there fixedly and looked at Dugu and disappeared at the door.

There was the sound of a woman walking slowly.

It's her.

What I saw without makeup that day was a woman who washed clothes for Dugu. Su Yan stared at her with cold eyes, "Who the hell are you?" ”

"I'm the prince's dancing queen, my name is Ji Xue." Her shallow salute, this complexion, but the face of the old man. It's a pity that I don't recognize it without makeup, but if Shangguan Jingyu and Fu Hui are present, they should be able to recognize it at a glance.

"What's your relationship?" No makeup frowned.

Ji Xue said with a smile, "I'm a maid, and it was the prince who ordered me to take care of Dugu Gongzi." The prince died, so I stayed. But don't worry, there's nothing between us. ”

Su Yan nodded, "I believe you." ”

Hearing this, Ji Xue was relieved, "Are you waiting for the Shangguan girl in the Prime Minister's Mansion?" ”

"How do you know?" Alert without makeup.

"You don't have to be nervous, I know all this from Dugu Gongzi's mouth." Ji Xue smiled faintly, with a childish smile on her face without powder, "Dugu Gongzi often stays alone in the house, looking at the file in a daze, I don't know what it is." ”

Was it the secret she stole out?

He pursed his lips without makeup and was silent.

Ji Xue continued, "Dugu Gongzi took me in, but there is no personal relationship between us. Plain girl, I can beg Dugu Gongzi to let you stay. ”

"How do you know my name?" looked up and down at Ji Xue in front of him without makeup.

Although the complexion is not outstanding, it is also extremely delicate.

"Because on the day when Wenxin'an was purged, Dugu Gongzi was injured, and when he had a high fever at night, he shouted your name." Ji Xue took a deep breath, "It can be seen that you have a lot of weight in his heart." ”

The plain eyes were slightly sick, but the eyes were red, "Thank you!" ”

With that, she turned around and left.

"Where are you going?" Ji Xue asked.

Su Yan didn't answer, and the girl ran out.

Behind her, Ji Xue frowned slightly.

The battle on the front line was tight, and the 100,000 Tiance army led by Fu Sheng was stationed in Youzhou City for a month and did not respond to the battle, which was a bombshell for the imperial court, and it was discussed endlessly every day.

The emperor was silent, and it was just a matter of not being able to enter the north and south. If there is a real war, Dashuo will inevitably suffer a lot of vitality. Human, material and financial resources cannot be simply estimated.

Only Prime Minister Shangguan Feng saw the emperor's thoughts, and all the folds of the main battle were suppressed.

"Your Majesty, General Fu is stationed in Youzhou City, and he has not fought for more than a month, I am afraid that it is because of the lack of food and grass and the lack of troops." Hai Run stepped forward, "It is said that 300,000 elite soldiers have arrived more than 100,000 after more than a month, compared to the 600,000 elite soldiers in Beizhao, it can be said that they are outnumbered." ”

As soon as these words came out, the secretary of the Ministry of War naturally refused, "Lord Hai is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, how can he also take care of the affairs of the Ministry of War?" This is a major matter in the dispatch of the military department, and without the emperor's order, the ministers do not dare to transfer troops easily. Please Emperor Mingjian! ”

Xiao Sheng rubbed his eyebrows, this war has dragged on for more than a month and has not progressed, not to mention that the courtiers are unwilling, and the people are also unwilling. Now there are many discussions inside and outside, and he, the emperor, does have a headache.

"Your Majesty!" Shangguan Feng took a step forward, "The army is outside, and the main order is not subject to it." Presumably, General Fu has not yet decided on the battle plan, so he has not taken action for a long time. The minister believed that General Fu had been on the battlefield for a long time and must be invincible. But the so-called knowing oneself and knowing the other side will win all battles, and this battle must not be rushed. ”

"What Aiqing said is very true." Xiao Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, "I don't know what Aiqing said, what should I do?" ”

Shangguan Feng said, "According to Yichen, General Fu has been stationed in Youzhou City for more than a month, so there must be a shortage of food and grass. It is better to prepare grain and grass and send it to Youzhou to stabilize the army's heart. Waiting for General Fu to see the emperor so favored, he is bound to go all out. Grain and grass go first, firstly, to ensure that the soldiers have some protection, and secondly, to inspire the morale of the army. ”

Xiao Sheng nodded, "This is reasonable. After thinking about it, he got up and said, "Do it!" ”

"Your Majesty, this matter ...... Who's going to deliver it? Shangguan Feng asked.

Xiao Sheng frowned, and said in his heart: This old fox wants to clear up his involvement.

After thinking about it, he said, "Who can Aiqing do?" ”

The military department Shangshu stepped forward, "Your Majesty, since Lord Hai is so concerned about the war, it is better to let Lord Hai go." As the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Haida went to Youzhou City to show the emperor's longness. Presumably, Lord Hai is loyal and will definitely be able to calm the army's heart for the emperor. ”

Hairun frowned coldly, but he knelt down for the emperor, "Even if the minister is a Confucian student, he can also smear the emperor's liver and brain and go to the battlefield." Minister, willing to take orders. ”

"It's just—" Shangguan Feng said, "It's a long way to Youzhou City, and I'm afraid that Lord Hai won't be able to bear it." In Weichen's humble opinion, it is better to send a military general. ”

"Okay, leave this matter to Hairun and my first imperial guard, Mu Chengfeng!" Xiao Sheng turned around, "Retreat." ”

The sound fell, and the emperor had already brushed his sleeves away.

Hai Run straightened up and looked coldly at the gloating military department Shangshu, and many people cast snickering looks.

Shangguan Feng walked up to Hairun, "This is a chore. ”

"The lower officials are willing to serve the court for the dogs and horses." Hairun is respectful.

"You take Zhiyuan with you." Shangguan Feng suddenly said, "Let him also experience and experience." ”

Hairun frowned, "Didn't the prime minister say that this trip was a chore?" Why are you willing to let your son go? ”

Shangguan Feng smiled bitterly, didn't say anything, just walked out of the hall with his hands down.

Behind him, Hairun looked at Shangguan Feng's back in confusion. What kind of wishful thinking is this Shangguan Feng playing? It's just that Hairun never expected that waiting for the hundreds of thousands of loads of grain and grass to arrive in his hands would be - all of them were old rice for many years, and some of them were even moldy and yellow.

Standing in the empty school yard, nearly 100 bags of rice and grain were opened in a row, and they all looked like this, Hai Run hated to rush into the palace with a knife, and participated in those officials who were full of private pockets.

But-who would dare to enter the palace easily except for the prime minister?

The emperor's murderous nature is not unknown to one or two.

Shangguan Zhiyuan gritted his teeth, "How can this be?" ”

"It's a thousand cuts." Hairun touched a handful of yellowed rice grains in a sack, "If this is taken to the border gate, how can I eat it?" Do you have to starve the soldiers to death? ”

"In the end, you will lose in your own hands!" Shangguan Zhiyuan frowned, "Or, we can discuss it with my sister." ”

Hairun thought about it and finally nodded.
