"Okay, let's not talk about that, let's say a little happy."

"Hmm. Let's say a little happy. ”

Shangguan Jiyue sniffed and forced a smile, "Then tell me, what happened to you that night?" If you ask him, I don't think he will tell me in his life. ”

"This ......" Chu Tianyun seemed to think of what happened that night, two red clouds flew on his delicate little face, turned around shyly, and said in a low voice, "When he went to my palace to deliver a letter that night, he was discovered by the guards and broke into my dormitory by mistake...... I was bathing ...... Bathing ......"

In the end, Chu Qianyun's head hung down on his chest, and his voice was almost inaudible.

"I see!" Shangguan Jiyue understood and said with a smile, "No wonder the second brother was ashamed to be like that just now!" ”

"Sister Qi, although the situation was special at that time, although it was unintentional to praise him, he was a responsible person, and when he left, he promised me that if he could return safely, he would be responsible for me to the end. And...... And I also liked him at first sight, maybe this is the will of heaven in the dark, it is the fate of the two of us. ”

"County Lord, second brother, he is definitely a single-minded man, since he made such a promise to you at that time, he must really like you, I believe he must be a good husband and father."

Chu Tianyun looked at the direction of the carriage, his eyes were full of tenderness, and he nodded heavily: "Hmm!" I firmly believe that we will be very happy. ”

When Shangguan Jiyue heard this, she walked behind Chu Qianyun, stood side by side with her, and looked in the direction of the carriage together: "I also firmly believe that you will definitely do it, I bless you." ”

"By the way, Sister Qi," Chu Tianyun suddenly remembered something, turned to look at Shangguan Jiyue, took out an envelope from his arms, and handed it to her, "This is what Brother Wang asked me to pass on to you when he left." ”

"Lord of Chu?"

"Well, Brother Wang said that he didn't know when he would be able to meet again when he said goodbye today, and he was afraid that he would be reluctant to ......"

Shangguan Jiyue listened to Chu Tianyun's words, and suddenly felt that the thin envelope in her hand had become hot, and she lowered her eyes for a long time, and she didn't speak.

"Sister Qi, in fact, Brother Wang ...... to you"

"County Lord, I understand what you mean," Shangguan Jiyue suddenly raised her eyes and interrupted Chu Qianyun's words, "The Lord of Chu is young and promising, pure and kind, and has a pure heart, such a good man is rare in the world, and I also wish him to meet the woman he likes as soon as possible, marry a wife and have children, and be happy for a lifetime." ”

Hearing this, Chu Tianyun lowered his eyes, bit his lower lip tightly for a long time before raising his head again, and smiled slightly: "Sister Qi, I also bless you." ”

"I will do it too, and we will all be very happy."

Parting is imminent, and no amount of words can explain the kind of sorrow in my heart.

Looking at the swaying southward convoy on the loess official road gradually moving away, raising the smoke and dust all the way, Shangguan Jiyue turned around for a long time, walked to the pavilion, turned over neatly and got on the horse, and walked away.

As soon as he entered the mansion, Feige greeted him and said, "General, just now the emperor sent someone to send an edict to urgently summon you to the palace to discuss matters." ”

"The emperor suddenly summoned me to the palace?"

"Yes."

"Who came to preach the will? Did you say why? ”

"It was Gonggong Jiang beside the emperor who just came to deliver the decree, saying that it was because it was related to the military situation ahead, and he specially told you to enter the palace as soon as you came back."

"It's related to the military situation ahead...... Shangguan Jiyue's heart suddenly jumped, and her eyebrows frowned, "Isn't it that Huangfu Chen has something to do with the front?" ”

"No," Fei Ge pondered for a moment, "Your Highness just came with good news, and Gonggong Jiang's face didn't look unusual when he came, it didn't look like he had a major military situation. ”

"That's strange," Shangguan Jiyue lowered her eyes and pondered, "I have been idle in Jian'an for more than a month, why did the emperor suddenly summon me to the palace for deliberations?" ”

"Did the emperor suddenly figure it out and want the general to return to the barracks and lead the troops to fight?" Speaking of this, Feige couldn't help but have a light in his eyes and a surprised tone.

"No, everyone knows that I want to go back to the front line, if the emperor wants me to lead the troops, just send a holy decree, why bother sending Gonggong Jiang to spread the word?"

When Feige heard this, he frowned and pondered, but he couldn't understand the deep meaning for a long time.

"That's it, since we know that it's because of the affairs in the army, we'll see it when we get to the palace, and it's useless for us to guess here." Shangguan Jiyue said, "You go and prepare the carriage first, wait for me outside the mansion gate, I'll change my clothes and then arrive, and we will enter the palace together." ”

"Yes." Feige took the order and left.

The carriage slowly stopped outside the palace, and Shangguan Jiyue had just jumped out of the carriage when she heard a familiar loud male voice coming: "General Qi, long time no see!" ”

Shangguan Jiyue looked up, and saw Xiao Hong, the commander of the shadow guard, standing at the palace gate and greeting her, his tall figure showing his might.

"Commander Xiao." Shangguan Jiyue took a step forward and arched her hand, "Why are you here?" ”

Xiao Hong smiled heartily: "I am waiting for you here." ”

"Wait for me?"

"That's right! The emperor specially instructed me to wait for General Qi at the palace gate, and after I came, I went directly to the imperial study to meet him, and there was no need to go to the main hall. ”

When Shangguan Jiyue heard this, although she was puzzled in her heart, she still followed Xiao Hong and bowed her hand slightly: "There is Lao Xiao in charge." ”

"General Qi, please!"

The two walked side by side, entered the palace gate, and walked all the way in the direction of the imperial study.

"Commander Xiao, this time the emperor suddenly summoned Qi Yu, do you know what happened?" Shangguan Jiyue turned sideways slightly and asked slowly.

"His Royal Highness King Chen has been going south all the way, and good news has been spread frequently, General Qi must have heard of these things, right?" Seeing that Shangguan Jiyue nodded, Xiao Hong continued unhurriedly, "King Chen is benevolent, all the Nanchi soldiers who disarmed and surrendered treated them with courtesy. Those who are willing to stay and continue to join the army will be assigned to the army and enjoy the same treatment as the soldiers of Beicang, and those who are not willing to continue to join the army will be given some subsidies and repatriated to their hometowns to reunite with their families. Moreover, after breaking through a city, His Royal Highness King Chen tried his best to restrain the soldiers of the three armies, not to kill an innocent person at will, and not to take a stitch from the people without authorization, otherwise it would be dealt with according to military law. Not only that, but they also reactivated the incorruptible officials in those places to continue to administer the captured cities. ”

"His Royal Highness King Chen is right to do this, if even after conquering the enemy's territory, he does not pay attention to the follow-up takeover and rectification, regardless of the life or death of the people in the rear, then what is the difference with the Southern Chi tyrant?"

Therefore, the soldiers under the command of King Chen have won a good reputation as a teacher of benevolence and righteousness along the way. Those prisoners of war who surrendered, more and more spontaneously stayed to join King Chen's command, and even some of the green forest heroes who were cornered by the tyranny of Nanchi also came to join the camp of His Royal Highness King Chen. As a result, the Southern Expedition Division, which originally numbered 100,000 people, has now more than doubled and now has reached more than 200,000 people. ”

Shangguan Jiyue was stunned for a moment, wrinkled her eyebrows and said: "Suddenly there are so many people, and he doesn't allow the soldiers to collect grain from the people without authorization, over time, isn't there a serious shortage of food and grass in the army?" ”

"General Qi really said it!" Hearing this, Xiao Hong paused sideways, looked at Shangguan Jiyue without hiding his admiration, and continued, "As General Qi said, there is a great shortage of grain and grass in the army of His Royal Highness King Chen, and the people of Nanchi have also spontaneously taken out surplus grain from their homes and donated it to the army. However, in recent years, the life of the people in Nanchi has been unspeakably miserable, and now it is the spring ploughing, and the green and yellow crops are scarce, and those grains are a drop in the bucket for the 200,000 army, and they cannot solve any problems at all. ”
