Chapter 218: The Gathering of Storms (7)

It started to rain in the evening.

Emperor Yongtai walked to the carved floor-to-ceiling window, quietly watching the raindrops fall on the green leaves of the pear tree in front of the hall and the small blue pears between the leaves, and the whole person was shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere.

Gonggong Ding was silent for a moment, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you are...... Miss Xiao Shizi, right? ”

Emperor Yongtai sighed and said, "This kid just learned to call me 'grandpa', I'll see you next time, I'm afraid I've forgotten it!"

Ah Yin is so attached to Concubine Baifang, when she sees her mother, she is afraid that she will forget his grandfather!

Gonggong Ding said respectfully: "Xiao Shizi is so filial to His Majesty, and he is precocious, but he just went back to accompany Concubine Bai for a few days, how could he forget His Majesty?"

Although Emperor Yongtai understood it in his heart, he was still a little sour in his heart.

At this time, Yang Wen walked in: "Your Majesty, Lord Jiang handed over the sign and waited to see you!"

Emperor Yongtai was a little bored, and when he heard this, he said, "Xuan."

Listening to Jiang Shulin's reply, Emperor Yongtai frowned: "Is the news true?"

Jiang Shulin arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you ask Han Lihan and Han Zhaoyang's father and son!"

Emperor Yongtai instructed Yang Wen: "You go to the Han Mansion to deliver the decree!"

Yang Wen glanced at Ding Dang, who was standing on the side, and replied "yes".

Ding Dang gave Yang Wen a look, and when he saw Yang Wen nodding invisibly, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He is now serving in front of the palace, and he can't send a message to the prince's mansion, so he can only ask Yang Wen.

After Yang Wen left the palace, when he arrived in a secluded place, he grabbed the reins of the horse, beckoned Yang Yun, the little eunuch who was with his cronies, to step forward, and whispered a few words.

Yang Yun replied "yes", and when Yang Wen walked away surrounded by the eunuchs and forbidden soldiers, he turned his horse's head and headed towards Prince He's mansion.

It was naturally Li Rui who received Yang Yun.

Li Rui listened to Yang Yun's words, smiled slightly, personally took a silver ticket, folded it and gave it to Yang Yun: "Take it to buy tea and drink!"

Yang Yun smiled and thanked him, put on an oilcloth cloak, and went out with the little guy.

Li Rui did not go to see Yuyu.

Yu Yu had already guessed that Jiang Shulin, Han Li and other ministers would inform Emperor Yongtai of Han Qing's conditions, and there was no need to tell her, what she had to do now was to let Bai Yuming delay the negotiations, the second was to use Ah Yin to soften Emperor Yongtai, and the third was to wait for the prince to come back earlier.

These are all arranged by Yu Yu, and they are already very tight.

Han Li and Han Zhaoyang, father and son, went out of the palace gate with Jiang Shulin.

Han Li stood under the umbrella and looked at Jiang Shulin with a smile: "Lord Jiang, please take a step to speak!"

Han Zhaoyang raised his hand and motioned for Han and Jiang's entourage to walk away, while he held a big oil-paper umbrella to shield his father and Jiang Shulin from the rain.

Han Li whispered a few words, and then raised his eyes to look at Jiang Shulin.

Jiang Shulin thought for a while, then reached out and shook Han Li's hand: "Lord Han, in this matter, we do have the same interests!"

Han Li said with a smile: "Because we are all for Da Zhou!"

Jiang Shulin shook Han Li's hand: "Lord Han, a word is a certainty!"

Although he and Han Li have selfish intentions, they are loyal to Da Zhou and Lin Jia, Lin Jia's weakness is Bai Yuyu, for Da Zhou, for Lin Jia, they want to join hands and send Bai Yuyu to Xixia, so that Lin Jia has one less concern, so that the northwest border of Da Zhou can get peace for decades, and also let the women of Jiang and Han can enter the palace and give birth to the future heir of the empire!

As for who will become the grandfather of the heir to the empire in the future, it depends on their respective skills!

It was late at night.

The sound of rain was dripping, and the jade hall became more and more silent.

Gonggong Ding served Emperor Yongtai to lie down, sat down at the end of the bed, and began to massage Emperor Yongtai's feet.

Emperor Yongtai lay there motionless, as if he was preoccupied.

After a while, Emperor Yongtai suddenly spoke: "You go and bring Ah Yin back tomorrow, stay for a few days and send it back!"

Gonggong Ding replied "yes" in his mouth, but his subordinates kept pressing the acupuncture points on the soles of Emperor Yongtai's feet with proper force.

He glanced at Emperor Yongtai, and when he saw Emperor Yongtai in a daze with his eyes open, he said softly: "Your Majesty, since you love Xiao Shizi so much, why do you agree to Han Li and Jiang Shulin?" In the future, when Xiao Shizi grows up, if someone makes a fuss about his biological mother in Western Xia, what will Xiao Shizi do? ”

Emperor Yongtai was silent for a moment, and then said: "What are you afraid of, there is still me, there is Ajia!"

Gonggong Ding didn't speak, continued to massage, but said in his heart: Your Majesty, can you guarantee that you will live a long life? Can it be guaranteed that Lin Jia will be good to Ah Yin after marrying the daughter of the Jiang family or the daughter of the Han family? You must know that if there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather!

But he knew that Emperor Yongtai had always been arbitrary, and once he recognized something, it would be difficult to change it, so he kept silent and massaged seriously, ready to mention this matter again when the opportunity was right.

Gonggong Ding himself is indispensable, anyway, he took refuge in Lin Jia, but Li Rui was loyal to Concubine Bai, as if he was wronged in his previous life.

For the sake of Li Rui, he had to put some thought into it.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and Ah Yin also fell asleep in bed.

Yu Yuping retired from the waiter and stayed alone in the bedroom.

She kissed Ah Yin on the face first, and when she saw that Ah Yin was asleep, her little mouth was still wrapped in milk, and she couldn't help but smile slightly.

After looking at Ah Yin for a while, Yu Yu got up and walked to the yellow rosewood wardrobe placed against the east wall, opened the wardrobe, and looked at Lin Jia's clothes neatly placed inside, feeling lonely for a while.

She buried her face in Lin Jia's clothes, and the cool and yin mint fragrance on the clothes was still on Lin Jia's body, which was light and smelly, which made Yu Yu's heart that had been hesitant and restless gradually complete.

For Ayin, for Lin Jia, for the baby in her womb, she must be strong!

At this time, Lin Jiazheng and Gui Dashuai led their troops to ambush in the dense forest on the border between Liao and Dazhou, preparing for an ambush battle.

In the dark forest, Lin Jia was changing into armor under the service of Ah Qing and Jackdaw.

Gui Dashuai next to him was holding a cyan grass stalk in his mouth, and while waiting for the Liao ** team to arrive, he was thinking about Lin Jia's strategy.

He knew Lin Jia when he was in Zhaoxian, and he really didn't expect that the weak and handsome young man Zhixian would actually become the heir of the Great Zhou Empire a few years later!

This time, Lin Jia adopted a blitzkrieg, specially taking advantage of his unpreparedness, and concentrated superior forces to encircle and annihilate the senior generals of the Liao State, but he achieved many victories in a short period of time.

Lin Jia ambushed here this time, because he received information that Yeluxiao, the only son of the emperor of Liao, led his troops to invade the south and wanted to pass through here.

Lin Jia felt that something was wrong as soon as he put on his armor, reached out and tried it, and found a few raindrops on his hand, and couldn't help sighing - it's raining again!

The rain was not heavy, but it was sparse, but it did not take long to drench the soldiers' armor.

The army under the command of Marshal Gui has been carrying out blitzkrieg ambush warfare these days, and they are usually recuperating and recuperating, but they are not tired, but those Liao ** teams have been marching in a hurry to pursue Lan Zhen and Xu Minbu who lured the enemy into depth, riding war horses day and night, they have already reached the limit, if they are drenched in this cold rain, I am afraid it will be difficult to support.

Lin Jia pushed away Yang Xin, who gave him an umbrella, and said in a low voice: "Pass my words, just say my order, if this ambush can successfully capture the prince of Liao, we will retreat to Liaozhou to take turns to rest, and we will be full of wine and meat every day!"

He really misses Yu Yu and Ah Yin.

Yu Yu was conceived in the Canal Palace in October, and now she is more than six months pregnant, only three months away from giving birth, he must rush back to the capital before Yu Yu gives birth, and accompany Yu Yu.

Ah Yin is almost a year old, he should learn to speak, and he as a father has to accompany his son......

Yang Xin replied "yes", looked at Gui Dashuai who was in a daze, and said with a smile: "Gui Dashuai is the best at governing the army, most of the captains and generals in the army are brought up from the soldiers, and the soldiers have a head to fight, and they are naturally brave and strong in battle!"

Gui Dashuai heard Yang Xin's words clearly, and immediately laughed, and said: "In addition to being able to fight, my old Gui also has another advantage, that is, he is loyal to the master!"

Lin Jia smiled slightly, walked up to Gui Dashuai, patted him on the shoulder, but did not speak.

Gui Dashuai felt Lin Jia's trust and dependence, and his heart warmed up.

In the early hours of the morning, Gui Dashuai was not too dirty, and directly put his ear on the wet ground, and then said: "Lord Wang, the Liao army is here!"

Lin Jia immediately said: "The Liao ** team has all entered the Grand Canyon, and we will attack!"

Gui Dashuai had been lying on the ground listening, and suddenly got up and gestured to Lin Jia.

Lin Jia looked at the jackdaw who was in charge of the herald.

The jackdaw fired three flares into the sky.

Bright flares exploded in the night sky, and almost at the same time, the sound of military trumpets broke through the air.

Gui Dashuai jumped up, flew on his horse, and led the soldiers to rush out, and the sound of killing shook the sky for a while.

Seeing that Lin Jia was about to get on the horse, Yang Xin hurriedly stood on both sides of Lin Jia with the jackdaw.

Yang Xin held Lin Jia's arm and said in a low voice: "Lord Wang, you are the pillar of the Great Zhou, you must not have an accident!"

lowered his voice again: "Concubine Bai is waiting for you to go back!"

Last time he put down the rebellion, Lin Jia was injured, and this time Concubine Bai specially invited him over, asking him to be optimistic about Lin Jia.

Lin Jia took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Come back to the handsome tent with me!"

Yu Yu is still waiting for him, he can't have an accident!
