Chapter 018: Dismounting

The night is dark, everything is silent, only the wind and snow are silent. The watchmen wore robes and roamed the streets.

He suddenly looked up, frowning and wondering, "Blinded?" ”

After checking again, he was sure that he had read it wrong. The Jokhang curfew is strict, and it is the place where the Son of Heaven is located, how can anyone not know whether they are dead or alive, and they are sneaky in the middle of the night.

Not far from the Beijing Post House, Yan Jue seemed to be sleeping peacefully, but his hand was holding the dagger under the pillow. As the intruder approached, she staggered to her feet, and with a flash of cold light, stabbed at the visitor.

"Miss, it's me." Yan Tong ducked back, avoiding the dagger. The chill climbed up her back, and after many years, the eldest lady's kung fu became more and more powerful.

Yan Jue was stunned, "Yantong......?" ”

Yan Tong turned sideways, and in an instant, Yan Jue's gaze was fixed on the black-robed man behind him.

A meager glow-in-the-dark glow.

Yan Huo took off his hood and smiled slightly, "Sister." ”

The pupils of his eyes contracted, Yan Jue instantly tensed his body, clutched the dagger tightly, staring stupidly, almost forgetting to breathe.

For a long time, she walked stiffly towards Yan Huo, timidly and excitedly stretched out her trembling hand, wanting to caress his face. I could see the hideous and terrible scars on his face, and my heart throbbed violently.

She withdrew her hand, clenched her fist behind her, tugged at the corners of her mouth, and failed several times before she brought up a smile that was more ugly than crying. "You've grown so big that I almost don't recognize you."

Nine years, eight months, and twenty-one days.

Every day counts the days, and every day that passes, there is one less day left before the moment to see him. can count and count, only to find that time is so long, it seems to be far away. Even if you are on the bloody battlefield, you can still survive the near death; Even if the war situation is tense and things are busy, I still feel that life is so difficult.

Since the second year of stationing at the border pass, she will write a letter at the end of each year to ask for a request to return to Beijing...... Slowly, there was a feeling of "I'm afraid I won't be able to see him again in this life".

The border is bitterly cold, and wars are frequent. At first, he struggled to control the border passes, and then he worked hard about how to hold the square inch. And then ...... All that remains is how to deal with the court. I hope that the imperial court can allocate military funds, and the courtiers will not use military salaries without permission, and I hope that the soldiers will not have to go hungry while working hard, and they will not even have a warm winter coat.

All the hardships and hardships, she didn't know how to get through them. Sometimes I want to give up, but every time I think of my younger brother who lives in the capital, I grit my teeth and crawl out of the sea of corpses and blood......

She can't die yet.

Her younger brother is her rein, so as to ensure that she can obediently serve the court.

She is her brother's life talisman, and as long as she is alive and has use value, they will not dare to do anything to him.

This time I was ordered to return to Beijing, and the longing that had been suppressed for nearly ten years burned my heart like a fire. But after returning to Beijing for more than three months, except for the first time he entered the palace, he was detained in the post house and was not allowed to go out without authorization.

I thought that I would not be able to see my loved ones when I finally returned to Beijing this time, but ......

"Why are you here?! Hurry back. Yan Jue looked around to make sure that no one was snooping around, hurriedly closed the window, and lowered his voice and said worriedly.

The guards brought back to Beijing this time, except for the left and right deputy generals, were all left in the post house outside the city. Only half a day after leaving the palace, the left and right deputy generals were sent home, and now all around her are the elites of the Fuming Division who pretend to be miscellaneous guards.

"Sister, don't worry, if I don't have a perfect plan, how dare I rush into the inn?"

Yan Juehu was suspicious for a while, sighed slightly, and finally chose to believe.

"Sit down."

Thousands of words are tired of being tired of being close to home. After surviving the initial embarrassment, Yan Jue said: "I heard about the marriage, Mrs. Li's niece is by no means a good person, you must be careful." ”

"I know. When will my sister return to the border? ”

Yan Jue frowned and said abruptly, "I don't know either." Probably going back soon, probably never going back. ”

Yan returned to Guan for a great victory, which frustrated the vitality of Yelou Kingdom, and Yelou Kingdom did not dare to raise troops to attack in a short time. However, most of the Yelou countries are nomadic, and if there is a snowstorm, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not raise troops to plunder.

If she raised an army, she would return to the border to guard it. If she can't, she will be detained in Jingzhong until someone sent by the imperial court takes control of Yanhuiguan......

The wind and snow gradually stopped.

The two talked for a full hour before they stopped.

Yan Jue said, "On Chinese New Year's Eve, I will ask Your Majesty to agree to my sister's participation in the palace banquet." At that time, my sister will be able to meet him. ”

Yan Jue's eyebrows flashed, and his surprise condensed into bitterness. She shook her head, "Your Majesty is suspicious, you are just an empty shelf county king, don't do anything for me." Again, what is the difference between seeing and not seeing......"
