Mother Rong showed a smile on her face: "It is said that the third master has been freed from the predicament, and the soldiers and horses of the Jiang family have lost the battle, and they are about to be expelled to Hedong by the third master." ”

Ji Yanran was overjoyed in her heart, but when she heard Mother Rong's last words, her raised eyebrows fell again.

The Jiang family and horses were expelled to the east of the river.

What does Li Yong want to do, the Jiang family and Tubo have always colluded, the Jiang family rebelled, and Tubo will inevitably take the opportunity to attack, Li Yong is preparing to fight the most difficult battle.

Mother Rong didn't understand why the third grandmother's expression was so deep, isn't it a good thing that the third grandmother has news?

"Did he send a message back?"

Mother Rong woke up like a dream, and immediately took the letter from the palace people: "The third master sent the letter." ”

Ji Yanran's expression softened a little, opened the envelope, took out the paper inside, and faced the light, the paper was slightly wrinkled, as if it had been left in a person's hands for a long time, and then it was sent out.

A lot of papers were written on a piece of paper, but they were all the current war situation: the Jiang family's soldiers and horses were already mixed with the Tubo army, but fortunately, the Khitans in Hebei Province were very peaceful.

If this battle is won, the foreign enemy will not be in trouble, and if they lose, she and Li Yue will set up a pass in Hedong as soon as possible, and he will delay the time, and wait until the next year to prepare military resources to meet the Tibetan army.

At the end of the writing, he wrote four words: well, take care.

Ji Yanran looked at these words, maybe it wasn't until now that she could understand what Li Yong's mood was like when she left.

Li Yong is also afraid that she will think of everything and stay by Li Yue's side, after returning from Hebei Province, Li Yong is very silent most of the time, although he has been by her side for a long time, he is very self-controlled, and he will not exceed half a step, in fact, the more calm he is on the surface, the more worried he is in his heart.

She was bent on finding out the murderer who killed Chang Ning back then, not only because they had been the daughters of the Lin family and exchanged each other's lives, although they were not the same person, they were tightly connected, avenging her was like avenging herself, and more importantly, those people had to pay the price.

She deliberately made herself look more and more similar to Chang Ning, confusing the Queen Mother, and at the same time making Li Yong even more worried.

If she were Chang Ning, she would naturally have no place for him in her heart.

What's more, he is still a person who has made mistakes, and he has to hold the mind of being abandoned at any time.

So much so that she wrote a letter to Beijing, but she didn't dare to ask her the final result, whether she was Li Yue's Chang Ning.

A sucker.

The commanding general would be so troubled by gains and losses, doing everything silently, and I am afraid that she would know his thoughts.

Winning this battle, they can rest easy.

Even if he loses, he will stay outside the pass, and he really thinks that he is an impregnable wall, and he will not be defeated no matter what.

Ji Yanran put away the letter.

I don't know when an uninvited guest has arrived.

"I heard that you locked up the Queen Mother in Cining Palace," Zhao Mingjing said leisurely, "It's really ruthless." ”

Ji Yanran said: "Have you seen the emperor? ”

Zhao Mingjing shook his head: "No, I'm not going to go, it can be regarded as giving him some decency." ”

The king of a country collapsed on the bed, listening to the crying and mourning voices of civil and military officials, but he couldn't respond at all, this is the best punishment for the emperor.

"I didn't expect you to be a soft-hearted person," Ji Yanran said and paused, "Prince Jin is ready to do this?" ”

Zhao Mingjing raised his eyebrows: "Otherwise?" In such a situation, if this king comes forward to compete for the crown, he can also win over a few old ministers, maybe this king should compete with Li Yue. ”

"Don't you resent this?" Ji Yanran said, "When you see the palace, do you always think of the situation when your biological mother died, that kind of fear has always been in your heart and cannot be dissipated, so that ten years ago, Chang Ning was killed again, after you learned the news, you were still afraid to go to the rescue, when you hesitated, Li Yue had already rushed to the palace regardless of it, which was another blow to you." After Chang Ning died, you left the capital and stayed in the countryside, in addition to you really being sad because of Chang Ning, you also began to dislike yourself, for fear that after being influenced by power for a long time, you would become cold-blooded and ruthless, just like the emperor who was high above. ”

"I can figure it all out, but ...... Lord Jin, why have you refused to marry for so long? ”

As soon as Ji Yanran's words fell, Zhao Mingjing's eyes rippled slightly: "Maybe it's like what I said outside, I'm because Chang Ning ......"

"No," Ji Yanran was very sure, "Although the women around you look a little like Chang Ning, it's not that you can't forget Chang Ning to keep them, you are using them to remind yourself, don't become cold-blooded and numb, because Chang Ning's death does make you regret it very much, maybe if you rush in like Li Yue, Chang Ning will survive." ”

This sentence inexplicably struck his mind, and Zhao Mingjing couldn't help but be a little stunned when he looked at Ji Yanran.

Ji Yanran paused and continued: "You are wrong, it was too late when you learned the news, and the Queen Mother and the Emperor were bent on killing people who would not let her live." ”

Somehow, he seemed to be relieved of his burden all at once: "Thank you." After speaking, he looked up and saw that the setting sun was reflecting the palace.

"Presumably Li Yue is a good emperor, and I can finally be an idle prince, but before that, I also want to go to Hedong Road to see those rebels.

What you just said is very right, but one thing is wrong, I don't like Chang Ning, I'm just curious about her. ”

Zhao Mingjing's smile was slightly deep, and he walked out step by step, who knows, maybe he didn't understand until today that he liked Lin Se who hid in the corner and witnessed everything that day.

Seeing his fear, embarrassment, Arthur, who dared to accuse him and question him, would think of Arthur's clear eyes whenever he was about to become cold-blooded.

He remembered Lindor rebuking him: "You can't do that even if you die." ”

Even if he died, he shouldn't bring the bowl of poison to his mother, and he shouldn't cry cowardly beside his mother.

Arthur is the opposite of him, she is still young but she tries to protect everything.

That day, she had been holding Mrs. Lin's hand tightly, as if she would disappear as soon as she let go of Mrs. Lin, and later heard that Mrs. Lin was sick, and Lin Se begged Hu Seng to treat Mrs. Lin.

is obviously an ordinary girl, but he is so ashamed of himself.

After so many years, she disappeared and came back here, but she was still a light that illuminated his heart.

Maybe that's the fate between them.

……

River East Road.

Tubo 100,000 heroes pressed the border, and the Jiang family was willing to give up Hedong Road in order to win this battle.

War broke out, and people fled in all directions.

But there is a team that stands at the pass and will not retreat a single step.

The big banner was waving in the wind, and the huge word "Li" on it was so dazzling.

The people retreated into the city, and the surroundings were peaceful for a while, but soon the war drums sounded, and the screams shook the heavens and the earth, and this battle was fought for a long time, even if the Tubo army was very well prepared, but still failed to take a city in the Wu Dynasty, and the morale of the Tubo people was polished clean little by little.

They no longer know how many times they have repelled the Tibetans.

Ming Jin withdrew his troops, and everyone smelled the smell of meat when they returned to the city.

The adjutant general immediately stepped forward and announced: "The imperial court has come to reward the three armies." ”

Li Yong nodded, his eyes were slightly deep: "Why what?" ”

"Yes......" The deputy general said after a while, "a happy event from Beijing." ”

Wedding?

Li Yong's face was even more gloomy, and he had a bad premonition: "What happy event?" ”
