The Beicang army led by King Chen went south, all the way like a bamboo, and the good news was frequent, and more than a dozen cities in Nanchi had been captured in just over a month.

Shangguan Jiyue looked at the letter in her hand and felt quite relieved to learn that the man she was worried about was all right ahead.

Since the last Mo Ling gift-giving incident, everyone in Jian'an City knows that the woman His Royal Highness the Crown Prince likes is the female general Qi Yu. In addition, in the past month, Shangguan Jiyue has frequently been in and out of the prince's mansion because of Shangguan Jiyang, which makes people feel that the relationship between the two is extraordinary, and even more rumors have spread that Qi Yu and the prince are in love.

However, there have been waves of unsettled, and what is even more unexpected is that the little county lord of the Reign of Lu has lived in the prince's mansion for more than a month, and the candidate for the county horse is not the majestic and upright, gentle and humble His Royal Highness the prince, but a little-known guest in the prince's mansion.

And the young lord of the Lu Kingdom not only did not stop the willful behavior of the little county lord, but personally met the Beicang Emperor and asked him to marry his royal sister.

It is rumored that the lord of Chu had a secret conversation with the emperor in the imperial study for two hours, and no one knew what the two said, but the result was even more surprising: the emperor not only agreed to the request of the lord of Chu, but also gave half of the military power offered by the state of Lu to the little lord as a dowry.

You must know that half of the military power of the Ryuk Kingdom is a full 50,000 iron cavalry. It can be seen that the value of this dowry can be said to be unprecedented and unprecedented. For a while, people were even more curious about who this county horse candidate was, not only won the beauty, but also won the military power.

On the day of the wedding, the little county lord was dressed in bright red, and he personally held the young guest to the palace to thank him, and people saw the legendary county horse candidate.

I thought it was a strong man with strong blood, but I was disappointed at first sight, and it turned out to be a sick and weak scholar in white.

Although this scholar has a good temperament and looks like a handsome man with an elegant demeanor, he is obviously pale, and his body is weak under his clothes, and even when he salutes and thanks, a small arm exposed in his wide sleeves is also thin and pale.

Before he had stood long on the main hall, he saw that his steps were vain and his expression was tired. When he left, he barely stumbled and was unstable by relying on the support of the little county lord on the side, and he knew at a glance that he was not a person who could live a long life.

For a while, everyone was a little unworthy of this peerless little county lord, and they chose such a person with a short life to be the county horse, and they didn't know what they liked about this scholar.

There are also some people who sigh that this white-clothed scholar doesn't know what kind of incense he burned in his previous life, so he will be favored by the county lord in this life and become the honor of the county horse.

However, no matter what these people do, it will not help, because this little county lord and the county master she identified will leave Beicang on the same day and rush to Liuguo.

The suburbs of Jian'an, outside the long pavilion.

Shangguan Jiyue stood in front of the horse, looking at Shangguan Jiyang and Chu Tianyun beside the carriage and smiled slightly: "Second brother, county lord, I wish you a smooth journey!" ”

"Third sister, take care of yourself." Shangguan Jiyang's eyes were full of reluctance, and a breeze blew, choking him a few times.

"Ji Yang, are you okay?" Seeing this, Chu Tianyun immediately nervously ordered the maid to bring a cloak and put it on for him personally, and said with concern, "Although the spring equinox has passed, the wind is still a little cold, do you want to go back to the car and rest for a while?" ”

"I'm fine." Shangguan Jiyang gently held Chu Tianyun's little hand, and said softly, "You see that the third sister is not sure how to make fun of me in her heart!" ”

"I didn't make fun of you! Seeing you so loving, it's too late for me to be happy! Shangguan Jiyue rolled her eyes and quipped, "Second brother, I've actually been curious, what happened when you went to the imperial city to deliver a letter to the county lord that night?" Let the county lord miss you so much, and come thousands of miles to find a husband? ”

Hearing this, Shangguan Jiyang unconsciously glanced at Chu Tianyun beside him, a faint flush welled up on his pale face, and he deliberately pulled down a handsome face and scolded in a low voice: "Third sister! You have a daughter's family, why don't you know how to be reserved, why do you ask these things?! ”

Shangguan Jiyue smiled lowly, bowed down and bowed to Shangguan Jiyang, and pretended to be serious: "Yes, what my brother taught me is that my little sister will not dare to ask again in the future!" Now can you lend your future lady to my little sister for a while, so that we can talk about ourselves, and I promise not to bully her. ”

"Sister Qi...... You see you're making fun of me again......" Chu Tianyun secretly glanced at Shangguan Jiyang with a shy, lowered his head and twisted, "Who...... Who's his wife......"

"Second brother, look! If you don't wait on the carriage again, be careful that the county lord will regret it, and then he won't marry you!" ”

When Chu Tianyun heard this, he immediately panicked in his heart, and hurriedly explained: "Who said I won't marry......

Halfway through speaking, he raised his eyes and saw Shangguan Jiyue's full eyes of narrowness, and then he suddenly realized that he had been fooled, and suddenly his cheeks flew up to the red clouds, he was shy, and he wrung his sleeves with both hands and said, "Sister Qi, you are making fun of me again......"

Shangguan Jiyang saw his dearest two women like this, and he only felt a faint happiness in his heart, although he still couldn't suppress the sadness in the depths of his heart, but he was already very satisfied.

He shook his head with a smile and said softly to Chu Qianyun, "I'll wait for you in the carriage." ”

"I'll help you through."

"No, I can do it myself, you can talk to the third sister." After speaking, Shangguan Jiyang turned around and slowly walked towards the carriage not far away.

Chu Tianyun stretched out his arms and opened his mouth, but he didn't catch up in the end, he just stood in place and quietly looked at his back, his beautiful eyes were full of distress.

Shangguan Jiyue looked at the man's thin figure, his vague and slow steps, only to feel a tightness in his heart, his eyes were already full of sourness, and he almost wanted to cry.

"Second brother, he wasn't like this before, he used to walk like the wind, and every time I saw him, even if he was dusty, he was still so dazzling and bright, and his spirit was flying. But now, ......"

"Sister Qi, don't worry, I will take care of him."

When Shangguan Jiyue heard this, she suppressed the pain in her heart, looked at Chu Qianyun and smiled: "What am I worried about?" I see your affection for him, but you, don't just take care of him and forget yourself. ”

Chu Tianyun stared closely at the direction of the carriage, and blurted out almost without hesitation: "No, even if it is for him, I will take good care of myself." ”

"County Lord, you also know that the second brother can't join hands with you, in case he ...... one day What will you do in the future? ”

"Without him...... And our children......" Chu Qianyun lowered his eyes slightly, and his long eyelashes covered the pain at the bottom of his eyes, "I will live well with our children, and I will tell them the story of their father, at least we once had happy memories, and that is enough......"

Listening to Chu Tianyun's words, Shangguan Jiyue was suddenly moved and shocked. The woman in front of her is strong, and if she can say these words, how deep does it take for her to live only on those short memories.

"County Lord," Shangguan Jiyue stretched out her arms to hug Chu Qianyun, and choked up, "I'll ...... for the second brother Thank you ......."

"Sister Qi, I should thank you. If it weren't for you, Ji Yang and I wouldn't have met, let alone have been together for the past 20 years, so I should thank you. ”
