Chapter XVI Exchange
Li Jinyu came out of the Li Mansion and hurried to the palace again. Li Jinyu thought that he had come this time to regret the daytime. and did not open his mouth to ask him, waiting for him to show himself.
"Brother Huang, I ask for orders to lead a team of elite soldiers to the frontier."
"But you regret it?"
"Brother Huang, the content of the letter is not credible, if you really go all out to garrison the three places of Pingguan, Tongshan, and Jinzhong, you will only fall into the trap of Scarlett."
"Trap?"
"Scarlett is menacing this time, and it must have been carefully arranged. As long as he has an internal response, he can trap our soldiers at the border. β
What if the letter is true? How do you know if the letter is true or false? Li Jinyu asked.
"Brother Huang, please believe me this time." The imperial brother suspected Kong Yuan of plotting rebellion, so he tried his best to investigate and deploy, but in the end, he was relieved of his military power. Perhaps, for the Heavenly Family, suspicion has been integrated into the blood flowing in the body. He didn't want to say much, but at this moment, he still hoped that the imperial brother could have a trace of trust in him.
Li Qingcang was silent, and the night crawled into the room through the window, wrapping the two of them tightly. Breathing seems to be frozen by the night, and at the same time, Li Jinyu's heart is also condensed.
Li Jinyu finally summoned Sha Heluk, the person who betrayed Scarlett, but at the moment he is a trustworthy person, for no other reason, interests are always the strongest rope.
He stood in the gazebo, there was not the slightest moonlight tonight, and the sky was like an endless black hole, staring at him closely. The same deep eyes are also looking back at the dark sky. Sha Holuk has been by Scarlett's side for many years, and has been secretly running and planning this restoration plan, but he is only full of wings and can only be attached to others. The war between Beicang and Donglai is his best chance.
"Lord Wang." Twilight stepped forward, but she couldn't help but ask, "Do you really want to abandon the general for Miss Tang?" Besides, if this military power is not in the hands of the prince, wouldn't it be a matter of others' will? β
"Twilight, the royal brother is suspicious. I will never be able to hold this power in my hands. He turned to look at Twilight, and continued, "I have already sent a letter to recommend you to Duke Li. You have a lot of talent, and you can't bury it. β
"Twilight swears to follow the prince to the death." As soon as Twilight heard this, she immediately knelt down, clenched her fists, and said every word earnestly.
"Get up, go to danger, you stay in the imperial city, and be sure to keep Qianyi safe."
This sleep is really long, when Tang Qianyi woke up, the sun was shining outside, and the sound of birdsong came into his ears. Liuyun brought water to wash her, and Morning Star sorted out the clothes she was going to wear today. The day, she thought, had finally quieted down. She also knows that this day will not be quiet for too long, Si Jiayi is going to raise troops, and that Jinyu, as the general of Donglai, will go north soon.
She wanted to go see Li Jinyu.
"Jinyu, the frontier war is about to start, right?" Tang Qianyi asked.
"Yes, I'm going to leave for Northern Xinjiang in a few days."
"Jinyu, how did you get the emperor to let me go." Yesterday, she didn't ask him, but she was curious. Treason, how did it come about, and how did it go?
"After finding out the truth, I will naturally let you out."
Tang Qianyi saw that he said so lightly, and he felt a little uneasy in his heart. She knew that in this matter, Li Jinyu hid something from herself. She wanted to know everything.
"General!" She called him word by word, "Can I still call you that now?" I am the sister of the Beicang Scarlett clan, I am your fiancΓ©e, how can the emperor tolerate you with a heavy army? Let me out, unless, you let go of the military power. β
Li Jinyu knew that she couldn't hide it, so she nodded slightly.
"Then how many people did you bring with you when you went north this time?" Without military power, it must be dangerous for him to go.
"Five thousand."
5,000 only. Tang Qianyi's chest suddenly tightened. She didn't understand the things on the battlefield, but she also knew that these 5,000 people were just mayflies shaking the trees.
"General, why is that?" Why do you have to take such a dangerous one?
"Qianyi, although I have been removed from the army, I am still the general of Donglai Kingdom, and I am just doing my duty."
She remembered the days when she was sent to the palace during the Pingkong Jingwen Rebellion before. Perhaps, I have to enter the palace again.
"General, if the emperor has no scruples about you, can he allocate some troops to you?"
"Qianyi, if you believe me, I will be back."
I heard the little eunuch outside: "Tang Qianyi asks to see you." Li Qingcang was a little surprised, but he still allowed her to enter the palace.
"The people's daughter begged the emperor to allocate 10,000 elite soldiers to the prince." As soon as Tang Qianyi entered the hall, he knelt on the ground, but his head was not lowered, and he looked straight at Li Qingcang. Tang Qianyi felt that this man had an expression as if someone had stolen it. At a glance at the last banquet, he was as cold as ice.
"What qualifications do you have?"
"When the people's daughter was in Suyang, I heard that the emperor loved talents very much, and the prince was also quite capable, so he made many military exploits. Now that the war is imminent, the prince is idle, and it is really buried. The emperor is wise, and love is thirsty, and it will not be like this. β
Li Qingcang listened to her very thoughtfully, but did not answer.
Seeing this, Tang Qianyi continued: "The people are willing to serve the queen mother and wait for the return of the prince. β
Li Qingcang responded to her: "If he can't come back, you can go together." β
Tang Qianyi is still arranged in a small courtyard in the Queen Mother's Palace, the difference is that this time there are four more guards at the gate of the courtyard, and there are also more maids and wives inside, inseparable.
Chenxing waited at the gate of the palace for an hour, but he didn't see Tang Qianyi come out, only a little eunuch came over and passed the word and left: "Your young lady has to serve the queen mother these days, so don't wait." She got the letter and hurried back to the general's mansion, and when she entered the mansion, she saw the people in the palace coming out of the mansion.
"General." Morning Star called Li Jinyu, "Miss, she was left in the palace." β
"Got it, you go down." Only then did Li Ruchao come to spread the word that the imperial brother sent 10,000 elite soldiers to let him go north to assist Li Xuan. He knew that it was Qian Yi who went to beg the imperial brother to exchange for these 10,000 elite soldiers for himself.
Qianyi, you must wait for me.
On the second day, 10,000 elite soldiers were assembled on the school ground, ready to go. Li Jinyu straddled a black horse at his feet, and his eyes became even colder with a cold armor. The Nightshade behind him whispered a few words to him, and he nodded, then turned his horse's head and headed north. The soldiers behind him saw Li Jinyu's actions and set off one after another to follow him.
Tang Qianyi was alone in the palace and couldn't hear any news from outside. The other day, in the gloomy prison, it was the same, and there was silence and darkness all around. It's another prison, it's an even harder prison. She remembered last night's dream, corpses, thousands of corpses, blood seeping out from below, and finally merging into a stream of blood. There were sounds of fighting in her ears, and it was easy to hear some of Li Jinyu's voices, but they stopped abruptly, and there was silence in her face, like a pair of hands holding her heart tightly, and then straining, as if they were going to crush her. When she woke up, she was sweating profusely and couldn't sleep anymore.
The wind blew and ruffled her hair. She had been sitting on the stone for half an hour, and the maid beside her had been standing with her for half an hour. She asked what the name of the lake was, but no one answered. She asked, what time it was, and no one answered. This courtyard is so quiet.
She began to write letters, to Li Jinyu, to her eldest sister, to her father, to Morning Star, to herself, and to everyone she could think of. A day passed.
