"Thank you, Lord Li, for speaking up." Yan Jue waved his hand in thanks.

Li Qing sighed, "You're too impulsive. Although they are targeting you, they can only speak as fast as they want, so why do you want to anger Your Majesty because of this? Although in order to appease Yan Jue, Murong Yao punished the courtiers who attacked her one by one. seems to be in charge of her, but in fact, it pushes her to the opposite side of the Wenchen Group. These civil officials already despise military generals, and in the future, her army will definitely be embarrassed by them in terms of food and supplies. He didn't know that Yan Jue had been embarrassed for nearly ten years.

Yan Jue Wan'er glanced at Yao Hui who wanted to speak on the side, "I haven't seen my brother for a long time, and I have a rare opportunity today, so I won't say much to Lord Li." Lord Lai, Mrs. Lai, farewell. ”

Li Qing bowed slightly, and the hand hidden in his sleeve rubbed the jade jue. Just as he was about to turn around, he inadvertently bumped into Yao Hui's nervous gaze, his heart was sour, and he smiled reluctantly. "Lady, go back."

***

"When will you go back?" Xun Yu said.

Yan Huo was stunned, and his eyes fell on the woman who was walking quickly in front of him.

"Sister, you're too aggressive today."

Yan Jue was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "You and Yue ...... Lord Li has a tacit understanding. Don't worry, I've got my own thoughts. She ......" Yan Jue glanced at Xun Yu with disgust, and quickly looked away, as if he had insulted himself by taking one more look.

"She is credible now, and the specific reason is that it is inconvenient to talk to my sister at this time."

Yan Jue twisted his eyebrows and looked at them back and forth for a long time, "Now that you are older, I won't restrain you more." I hope you remember the pain of the past and don't repeat the mistakes of the past. ”

"I know. Sister, you just angered Your Majesty, have you ever thought about the consequences? ”

"Have you ever thought about that? Even if you can exonerate yourself in the name of defending your sister, it will set you completely against them. "If she hadn't happened to see him holding Xun Yu's hand, and remembered his habit of holding something before he got angry, otherwise today's outcome would have been even more unfavorable." Over the years, I have relied on your secret support, and I and the soldiers have a chance to breathe. If you target them, who will help me in the future? ”

Yan Hui said: "It's my fault that my sister is worried." Although there is a perfect plan for him to stand up for his sister without being hated and suspected by them, he doesn't want to refute her hard work. obediently admitted her mistake, in exchange for a relieved smile.

"There are people watching you at all times, and I can't stay with you for long. I'll go back to the post house first, and if you have something, send someone to find Mu Lanzhi, the second son of Bo Muwenxin, the master of Dali Temple. ”

Before leaving, Yan Jue earnestly instructed: "Huo'er, you are the only hope of the Yan family, no matter how I treat people, even if I die in front of you one day, as long as the time has not come, you must be patient." ”

The palace lights gradually went out, the night was bleak, and the wind and snow were blowing.

Yan Huo coughed and looked at the woman who was sitting under the tree meditating at some point. Misty with a faint light, the shadows of the faint trees are distorted, like a fierce ghost with teeth and claws, she sits quietly in it, like a Buddha in hell, practicing with ten thousand ghosts and demons.

Xun Yu opened his eyes and looked up at the man with a calm face, "But is there anything else?" ”

Yan Huo shook his head, "Let's go." ”

Yan Jue retreated during the banquet, forcing Murong Yao to punish the ministers who provoked trouble, which also led to the early dissolution of the palace banquet. If it weren't for that secret letter, I think Your Majesty would have been glad to have her knowledge.

Not long after Yan Jue entered Beijing, a confidential letter was sent from the border gate. The letter is only a dozen words: the snow has been falling in the Koledo grassland for more than ten days, and it has not stopped.

The Koledo grassland, where the country of Yelou is located, has a vast area, but there are very few fields that can be planted. Most of them live as nomads and live on the grasslands. If there is a natural disaster, it is a great disaster. At this time, in order to survive, they had to raise troops to plunder south.

The Jokhang is heavy on literature and light on martial arts, and the generals have no support from the god of war Yan Yi, so the past ten years have been extremely difficult. In order to pay for military salaries, they had to be patient with civilian officials, and even bow down and be small in order to get what they deserved. For a long time, some generals were disheartened and returned to the field; Some of them were buried on the battlefield in vain due to incomplete materials; There are also some of them, because of the events of the year, they are not reused......

Counting the court, there are very few generals who can be used. Therefore, Murong Yao would not agree to Yan Jue's request no matter what.

The two of them walked slowly and were about to leave the imperial garden, when they suddenly heard a scolding.

I saw a eunuch kicking and beating a thin man. The man knelt on the ground, clutching the object in his arms.

After kicking and beating for a while, the eunuch spat on the phlegm, stepped on his head, and said disdainfully: "Hmph, let you go for the time being." If you run around again, be careful to pluck your skin. He ran it over, kicked it again, and walked away swearing.

The man raised his head slightly, his pale face was as calm as water, and he didn't seem to have been humiliated by half of it, only a pair of eyes, like paint and ink, were so black that it was terrifying.

He barely got to his feet, staggering a few times to his feet. Carefully holding the box in his arms, he was about to turn around, and caught a glimpse of Yan Hui and Xun Yu not far away, evoking an extremely warm smile.
