Yan Mengyu stroked her hair that was swept away by the breeze, and sighed lightly: "You are still the same as before, there is no change." And I've changed! ”

Li Tiantu nodded and said bluntly: "I can see it." ”

The two of them came to the bottom of the embankment together, and sat on a large rock on the left and right.

Yan Mengyu looked at the magnificent water, couldn't help but glance at Li Tiantu beside him, and said, "Don't you ask me why I didn't go to Nangong Huai after you left?" ”

Li Tiantu smiled bitterly, I have to say that he is always passive in front of women, and said perfunctorily: "It won't be because of me, right?" ”

Yan Mengyu glared at Li Tiantu with disgust, and then couldn't help but smile coquettishly: "You think it's beautiful." Not because of you, certainly not because of you..."

Yan Mengyu began to shake her head as she spoke, her expression seemed to cry and laugh, and her voice became smaller and smaller, until she finally disappeared completely.

When she was completely quiet, she held her chin in her white hands, rested her elbows on her bent knees, and stared at the smoky river in a daze.

She didn't know why, as soon as she heard the news of Li Tiantu's return to Beijing, her heart was like a grass, and she desperately wanted to see him. Although she knew that even if the two met, they would not be able to go back to the past, she had her mission, he had his ideas, and there would be no result if the two met, but she was still willful, and she still did it, and even gave Loulan Zhibaohong Mengzhu.

Of course, Li Tiantu couldn't understand Yan Mengyu's mood at this moment, he forcibly resisted the urge to grab Yan Mengyu, and said with difficulty: "I'm leaving." ”

Yan Mengyu, who came back to his senses, suddenly turned his head and said quietly: "If, if one day we stand on the opposite side, if I fail, I would rather die at your hands." ”

Li Tiantu frowned his sword eyebrows, and his heart was full of doubts, and he finally didn't ask Yan Mengyu about it.

What happens to this woman in the future has nothing to do with him, does it?

Li Tiantu's figure only paused slightly, and finally left silently.

When the familiar and unfamiliar back disappeared at the junction of water and sky, Yan Mengyu's long, long-accumulated tears couldn't help but gush out.

She has only cried three times since she can remember. Once when she was ten years old, after hearing the news of the death of her father and queen mother, she cried for most of the night; The other two times were because of the man who had left, once at the Eagle's Beak Cliff and once at the willow sand embankment.

If a woman can shed tears for the same man twice, she doesn't know if it counts as falling in love with him, but she is sure that he has carved an indelible mark on her heart.

Just now, when Li Tiantu was sitting on the big stone by the river with her, her heart that had originally dedicated her life to the revival of Loulan suddenly wavered. At that moment, as long as Li Tiantu responded to her, she would rather give up everything and go to the end of the world with him.

However, this may be the best outcome.

Li Tiantu's resoluteness made her no longer have to be entangled in national righteousness or children's affection. Therefore, she did not hesitate to ask the last sentence she wanted to say to Li Tiantu. Even though she knew that someone as smart as Heaven would definitely sniff out something from that sentence, she didn't care. The worst result is nothing more than Li Tiantu leading a team of Praetorian Guards to wipe out her Xiaozhu in the middle of the lake, and then she dies at his hands, she doesn't need to be so tired, relieved, isn't it?

Li Tiantu thought as he walked, he did hear a little bit of extraneous sound from Yan Mengyu's last sentence. He now represents the imperial court, and Yan Mengyu stands on the opposite side of him, the meaning of which is self-evident.

But he was still puzzled, Yan Mengyu, who was a princess, had no reason to go against the imperial court, and although the rivers and lakes standing behind her were powerful, this alone was not enough, and it seemed that there was one thing missing - military power. In addition to the 20,000 Praetorian Guards in his hands, there were also 80,000 Yulin troops stationed in Fengmen, western Beijing. After General Ding disappeared in Tubo, although the post of general of the Yulin Army was vacant, he was still under the control of the left and right generals who were born in the royal family, and it was impossible for them to be controlled by the forces behind Deyan Mengyu. What's more, Yan Mengyu is also deeply loved by the Queen Mother, Li Tiantu shook his head vigorously, maybe he thought about it too much.

When Li Tiantu returned to the Commander's Mansion, he saw Su Ling'er standing at the gate in a hurry.

Before he could get closer, Su Ling'er couldn't wait to greet him, and said worriedly: "Son, the emperor urgently summons you to the palace." In the past two hours, Gonggong Gui, who has delivered the decree, has already come here three times, and he has also gone to your office to find it once. This will be when Grandpa Gui just left, saying that he is waiting for you at Xuanwu Gate. ”

After speaking, Su Ling'er stared at Li Tiantu with a small mouth, and said dissatisfied: "Where you go next time, even if you don't let Ling'er follow you, you have to tell me." ”

Li Tiantu was not in a hurry, shook his head and smiled: "I was in a good mood this day, I originally wanted to steal a little bit of leisure, but I happened to encounter so many things." ”

Under Su Ling'er's urging, Li Tiantu entered the house and changed into formal clothes, directly gave up the official car and horse, and went alone in the direction of Xuanwu Gate.

Gonggong Gui has been an honest and low-key person all his life, and he has never competed with others for fame and fortune and power, so although he has been waiting for three generations of emperors at the age of not confused, in the end, he only fell into the position of a eunuch from the fourth grade of the master of ceremonies and the eunuch Bingbi, although he is not as powerful as the deputy Cheng Wei Gonggong of the Internal Affairs Office who is already in his prime, but he is indeed the oldest, most prestigious, and most respected person in the palace.

Seeing that it was not too late for Li Tiantu to come, the old eunuch's hanging heart was finally relaxed.

Although he knew that the young magnate in front of him was a celebrity in front of the current saint. But the so-called gentleman's heart is unpredictable, he has seen a lot of high-ranking officials and nobles who are celebrities today and prisoners of change tomorrow. But fortunately, Li Tiantu came in time, as long as it didn't affect him.

Under the careful guidance of Gonggong Gui, Li Tiantu came to the stargazing platform in the northwest corner of the palace in the cold winter wind.

Li Tiantu's eyes showed a surprised look, the stargazing platform is more than ten zhang high, the shape is like a pagoda, compared with the Zhenlong pagoda of the Daxiangguo Temple in the suburbs of Beijing, it is the divination and stargazing place of the national teacher Tiangang Taoist, few people usually come, I didn't expect that the emperor came here when the sky was cold and frozen, is he worried about the war in the west?

Gonggong Gui stopped at the bottom of the stargazing platform, turned around and said respectfully: "Commander Li, the emperor and the national teacher are playing chess on the top floor of the stargazing platform, and they have been waiting for you for two hours." ”

Two hours? Li Tiantu suddenly felt that his scalp was numb, the only time in the past few days that he was busy, but he made the two big men at the top of the Beijing Division wait for two hours, how could he face it. Li Tiantu took a deep breath of cold air and strode directly to the top floor.
