Countless times of life and death, one by one, appear in front of me.

At that moment, I wanted to throw myself into his arms and cry, I wanted to tell him out loud all my thoughts and emotions, and I wanted to selfishly say that we will leave now, regardless of all these disputes and go away from the world.

I can't afford to lose him anymore.

Along the way, he was prepared for the worst, and if he did die, then he would go with him.

Looking at the figure that appeared in front of him, he couldn't help himself with excitement, and he rode his horse hard, just wanting to run to his side and never be separated again.

Because she was kicking the stirrups excitedly, the horse was also infected with her chaos and excitement, and she galloped wildly.

The horse was getting faster and faster, and his hands were getting more and more out of control of the reins, trying hard to slow it down.

But after all, he doesn't ride a horse very often, and where can he control a crazy horse for a while.

Seeing her being shaken on the horse, Zhao Ting's originally happy and smiling face in the distance changed color.

The anxious foot kicked and ran towards her.

Yun Moxi's horse felt that there was a horse rushing towards her, and with a sense of oppression, her two front hooves stood up and neighed, and she was caught off guard that her whole body was suspended in the air, and she could no longer grasp the reins with both hands, and fell off the horse with a scream.

At the moment when the body hit the ground, the hand was held by a large hand.

Zhao Ting grabbed her in time, lifted her up with a forceful lift, hugged her and flew down, and sat back on his mount neatly.

Frightened, he was surrounded by a pair of arms and leaned against his chest.

"Don't be afraid, it's okay!" A familiar voice came to my ears.

Looking up, it met his eyes.

"How dare you come to save people with such poor riding skills?" A chuckle whispered in her ear, her arms tightened and locked tightly in her arms, doting and happy.

His face was red, and he also wanted to scold him, who made him so bold, and dared to break into the enemy's camp with a few relatives, and almost scared himself to death.

But at this time, in his arms, I just want to stay quietly, I just want to feel his temperature and existence quietly.

He didn't refute, smiled and closed his eyes, letting him gallop.

Feeling the meekness in his arms, Zhao Ting's heart was extremely warm.

is also more cautious and nervous, his martial arts are strong and come and go freely, naturally no problem, but he doesn't dare to be careless with Yun Moxi, and he doesn't dare to delay the horse for a moment.

The sound of the fight behind him gradually faded away, and it was no longer heard.

The mount carried two people and galloped in a hurry, but in the end he could not run, so he had to slow down to let the horse breathe a sigh of relief, and if the horse was tired to death, the future was even more worrying.

Yun Moxi looked back, but no one behind him followed, it must have been a vicious battle, and the red kite led by Yun Yueqi and Zhao Ting's personal entourage were probably difficult to retreat.

Thinking of Yun Yueqi, he knew that his martial arts strength should be able to withdraw in time, but he couldn't help but worry in his heart, and sighed lightly.

Zhao Ting knew what she was thinking, and comforted: "Although these Han soldiers are numerous, their martial arts are not strong, Yueqi will definitely be fine." ”

"I hope so! But the casualties are certain, and I'm afraid that not many of these red kites will come back alive. "There is a pain in my heart, and the loss of every Yun family member will hurt my heart.

"You shouldn't risk coming, you also know my martial arts, and the enemy can't help me."

"How can you not come!" "How can you know you're in danger and be indifferent?" she cried. ”

"So you risked your life to save it for the Yun family's duty? Or is it for the people of the world not to lose a good emperor? He asked in a low voice.

was angry by his words, "No matter what the reason is, I just hope that His Highness is safe." Thinking of being frightened all the way, I couldn't hold back my tears anymore.

"I don't want you to die...... I don't want you to leave me again. He choked up.

Zhao Ting looked at her fixedly.

The horse stopped, bowing his head and eating the grass in the forest meadow.

Realizing his gaffe, he hurriedly raised his hand to wipe his tears.

Just as he was about to turn his head, Zhao Ting reached out and hooked her chin, lowered his head and kissed her on the lips.

His lips touched softly, and he stared at his big eyes and forgot to react for a while, and he only felt dizzy and a faint sweetness in his mind.

Zhao Ting just couldn't help himself, afraid that his abruptness would scare her or make her angry, so he wanted to stop.

But when he touched her, the strong and long-lasting love in his heart could no longer be suppressed, and he surged up like a flood.

tightened his arms and kissed him heavily, as if to vent the emotions that had been suppressed for so many years.

Yun Moxi gradually touched the thousands of feelings in his heart from passive acceptance, and he couldn't help but respond.

Feeling her emotion, he became more and more excited, hugging her affectionately, and it was difficult to hold himself for a long time!

……

The horses were full of grass and walked slowly and lazily.

The two men on horseback were disturbed.

Gently pushed away shyly, Zhao Ting reluctantly refused to let go, watching his delicate red lips become more and more bright red when kissed, like a lovely cherry, and wanted to kiss again.

"We're running for our lives!" She blushed and sneered.

"As long as I can be with you, I'm not afraid of the Hades Palace!" With a chuckle, he took the opportunity to kiss her on the cheek.

I couldn't help him, so I nudged it, "Let's go!" ”

With a chuckle and a glare, the horse ran.

He refused to let go, hugged his arms tightly, and kissed secretly from time to time, he was in a very happy mood, and he didn't want to look like he had just experienced danger.

"By the way, why did you go to the Liao army camp in danger?" The neck of the kiss was itchy, and he had to ask questions to distract him.

"If you want to retire and return home, of course, you must first solve the current war situation! Otherwise, if the troops suddenly retreat, the morale of the army will be chaotic, and the pursuit and attack of the Han and Liao armies will be defeated. What's more, there is a shortage of grain and grass at the moment, and we can't last long. If you are dragged back, let alone go back to the Great Song Dynasty, I am afraid that it will be difficult to get out of the Northern Han Dynasty. ”

"Then is the Liao State willing to withdraw its troops?"

"The Liao State originally sent troops for the sake of profit, and now the new emperor of the Liao State is young and the Empress Dowager Xiao Xuan is in power, and you have seen her. She and Di Xichen are incompatible. This time the troops were also sent because of the alliance between the two countries, so they would not do their best. ”

"I thought she was powerful back then, but I didn't expect that now I am the queen mother and master the government." I remembered many past events when I was in the Northern Han Dynasty.

"Yes! How many changes in the harem of the Northern Han Dynasty were planned by her behind the scenes, and Di Xichen had already accumulated grievances for many years, and he endured it because the Liao State still had use value. There will be no true alliance between two powerful people. ”

"But that Xiao Xuan is not a good master, can he agree to you so easily?"

------------

Chapter 366: Final Decision

"But that Xiao Xuan is not a good master, can he agree to you so easily?" Yun Moxi asked.

"I talked to her about the many benefits of this retirement. It was promised that the Great Song Dynasty would give some compensation to the Liao State. It happened that there was a great drought in Liao this year, and this time the troops were sent to help, but the promises of the Northern Han Dynasty were not fulfilled, and the Liao State asked for several times and kept prevaricating. The losses of the Three Kingdoms in the battle for most of the year are not small, if the Great Song Dynasty is not a strong country, such as the Yun family, and you offered advice last time to recover it

Chapter 367: Where to go

"Fortunately, he is in retreat, otherwise his method would not have been as simple as sending a few hundred soldiers to intercept him." Yun Moxi felt a chill in his heart when he thought about it.

As the two said this, the team that answered them had already arrived.

The young general led by dismounted and bowed down and clenched his fists, "The last general is ordered by Vice Marshal Pan to come to meet His Royal Highness King Wei!" ”

"Good!" Zhao Ting waved his hand, "Where has the army retreated?" ”

"Back to Your Highness! The army retreated south in two hours, and if the horses were quickened, they could catch up at night. ”

"Twenty miles ahead, the men who had just received the king were still fighting, leaving fifty men with the king to catch up with the army. The rest of the people went forward, and as long as they were alive, they were to be rescued. ”

"Order!" The young general clenched his fists and said loudly.

Zhao Ting pedaled his horse to the south, and the team followed.

The brigade quickly rushed towards the forest to meet it.

Yun Moxi looked into the forest, and silently prayed in his heart that Yun Yueqi and the red kites could come back safely.

……

Zhao Ting led a team of men and horses all the way to the places that the Song army had captured before, and the army had just withdrawn, so it was safe, and it was not intercepted by the Han Liao army again.

On the way, I saw many people sitting on the side of the road with hungry and miserable faces, or walking blankly on the road to escape the war.

Some children were crying and screaming when they were hungry.

And many of the fields on the side of the road have been deserted because of the civil strife in the Northern Han Dynasty and the trampling of this war.

The remaining old peasants who refused to flee dragged their emaciated, hungry bodies to the fields.

Although it is already autumn, I still hope that the fields will be suitable for planting next year. Look for any remaining edible plant roots or fruits.

Occasionally, there were corpses dying of starvation or war on the side of the road.

The war was inherently cruel, and before the Northern Expedition, there had been several civil strife in the Northern Han Dynasty, all of which were caused by the desperate struggle of the remnants of the throne change, or the tyranny and indiscriminate killing of Liu Jiyuan later.

The people who had experienced civil strife had not yet received a respite before the Northern Expedition of the Song Army was ushered in, although Zhao Ting, as the commander-in-chief, had tried his best to make the army innocent of the people.

But war is war!

It is impossible for six months of war not to implicate the people, and death and displacement are inevitable.

Look at the devastated land in front of you.

Yun Moxi thought of the Northern Han Dynasty back then, and the Northern Han Dynasty at that time was also a powerful country in the north, although it was not as prosperous as the southern trade, but it was also the people's peace and prosperity, and the people also had smiles on their faces, and they could eat and dress warmly.

In just a few years, I went back to the Northern Han Dynasty, but it was a different scene.

"Why are so many people starving to death? Is all this depression because of the war? She felt sad and couldn't help but ask.

"Historically, it has been the people who have suffered in wars. Although it has been fought for more than half a year, it has indeed caused a lot of losses to the Northern Han. But the people starved to death, and the country's fortune was not prosperous, but it slowly appeared after Liu Jun's death. Zhao Ting said.

Looking at the scene along the way, I couldn't bear it in my heart, "At the beginning, Liu Jien and the five kings were in power, and they only expropriated for their own interests, and the vitality of the people was greatly damaged. After Liu Jiyuan seized the throne, in order to consolidate his power, he wantonly killed dissidents. The nine clans of Zhulian even sat together, one person committed a crime, and dozens or even hundreds of people of the entire clan were killed, resulting in ten rooms and nine emptiness. Some villages or even entire villages have been implicated and imprisoned and exiled, where can the people live in peace, and where can they still farm with peace of mind. ”

"Hey!" I can only sigh when I hear it.

"Therefore, the Northern Expedition is imperative, even for the sake of the Great Song Dynasty and the people of the Northern Han Dynasty, only by unifying the world, can the people of the whole world have long-term peace and stability."

"The Yun family is duty-bound and will definitely do their best to help!"

Zhao Ting clenched her hand, and with force under his feet, a team of people galloped away.

When it was nightfall, he caught up with the army.

The Song army had already set up camp, and Zhao Ting convened all the generals non-stop.

Yun Moxi stood at the gate of the camp, looking at the dark distance, and his heart was very anxious.

Worried about Yun Yueqi them.

I have been standing for more than two hours and have not seen anyone come back, and I am getting more and more sad.

"It's late at night, why don't you go to bed!" Zhao Ting's voice behind her put a cloak on her.

Pulling his cloak, "I can't sleep." She said.

"Are you worried about Yueqi and them?" Wrap yourself around her from behind and hold her in your arms.

The body that had been frozen gradually warmed up.

"The night wind in the north is biting, so I keep standing like this, and Yueqi doesn't want to see you fall ill from the wind cold when he comes back." He reproached softly, "Go back to the big tent!" As soon as they return, someone will come to the court. ”

After thinking about it, she had to nod.

Embracing her, he was about to walk to the camp.

In the distance, the sound of horses' hooves could be heard, and in a short time the sentry scolded.

The two of them stood on their feet and looked up.

After a while, the sound of horses' hooves came galloping over.

When I got closer, I saw that it was Yun Yueqi who was the leader.

Looking at each other, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly greeted them.

Yun Yueqi galloped to the front, grabbed the horse and jumped down, walked in front of the two, hugged his fists and said, "The subordinate is back!" ”

"You're not hurt, are you?" Yun Moxi hurriedly asked, seeing that his face was still stained with blood, and his clothes were also torn in many places, because he didn't know if he was injured and bleeding, he couldn't help but choke a little.

Seeing her concerning, Yun Yueqi's heart warmed, and a rare comforting smile appeared on her always expressionless face.

"No injuries! It's not my blood, don't worry, master! ”

Zhao Ting was also very happy, and patted him on the shoulder, "Thank you Brother Yueqi for sacrificing his life to save him this time, thank you here!" He bowed down and clenched his fists at him.

Yun Yue turned sideways in fright, "Your Highness doesn't have to be inferior, this is what you should do." ”

Yun Moxi looked behind him, "How many people have returned?" ”

"There are dozens of people left! Fortunately, the rescuers sent by His Highness arrived in time, otherwise these people would have been gone. ”

My heart ached when I listened, and I couldn't speak for a while.

Knowing that she was uncomfortable, Zhao Ting diverted the topic, "Okay! Let's all go and rest! Tomorrow, you will follow me and rush back to the capital first. ”

Yun Yueqi hugged her fists and retreated with the remaining red kites.

"Won't you go back with the army?"

"Before we came back, the holy decree had already arrived at the camp, and Pan Mei took it."

"What are you talking about?"

"The third brother has ascended the throne and summoned me back to Beijing."

"Calling you alone? What about the army? ”

"Return to Yanmen Pass and stay in place and wait for orders."

"But if you don't bring the army, will he be bad for you?"

"Don't worry! If you don't bring the army, you won't have a mouth, and he hasn't sat down in the dragon chair yet, and he's also watching my attitude. If I want to rebel, I must have set up a feast. If you obediently send troops, it should be fine in the short term. ”

"Since you can see it so clearly, are you willing to easily send troops?"

"It is expedient that the safety of one person is no better than the safety of the people. I don't want the Great Song Dynasty to become like the Northern Han Dynasty, where the civil war is not extinguished and the mourning is everywhere. ”

"Alright! I will always be with you no matter what! I had to look at him with a reassuring smile.

Zhao Ting hugged her tightly, his eyes burning, "It is because of you that I dare to let it go." ”

Looking up at the south, "I also have to rush back as soon as possible to kowtow to the second brother." Presumably he hasn't gone far yet...... Still waiting for me. ”

A mist appeared in his eyes......

Chapter 368: Except or Stay

The capital of the Great Song Dynasty, Bianjing.

Zhao Guangyi was anxious to ascend the throne as emperor the day after Zhao Kuangyin's death, and he was very proud to sit on the high dragon chair.

Above the court, looking at the civil and military officials below who bowed their heads and prostrate.

Under the world, it is not the king's land; On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister.

What a spirit.

At first, I had to kill my second brother as a last resort, and there was guilt, pain and trembling.

When he ascended the throne in a hurry, everyone looked at him with trepidation and suspicion.

Gradually, under the guidance of Zhao Pu, he mastered the situation and did not use the method of wanton killing, because his throne was already questioned by many parties.

If you follow the example of the Northern Han Dynasty Liu Jiyuan bloody
