Winter night, quiet and peaceful, dark and cold, few stars hanging on the black curtain, loneliness makes people under the moon miss their distant relatives even more, and their hearts have already driven the crescent moon to fly thousands of miles away.

Do you think we'll go back alive?"

The tent was quiet and could only hear each other's wheezing and moving bodies, everyone slept with their eyes closed, and for a long time Tian Luo heard a whispered question in his ears, he slowly opened and closed his eyes for a long time, but he had not yet fallen asleep.

"Did you say that the food, grass and reinforcements will arrive tomorrow?"

Again, Tian Luo looked at the tent above his head, and a small hole was broken in the sky above his position, there was a star outside the small hole, very bright and bright, the temperature difference between day and night in the north of the sea was very large, the day was fine, and the night was very cold, he couldn't help but tighten the quilt tightly, and closed his eyes again.

"You say, tomorrow Tuva will attack again?"

Still just moved his body, and Tian Luo did not respond.

"You said that if there is a spy, tomorrow will definitely attack again, right?"

Spies? Suddenly opened his eyes, Tian Luo carefully recalled these attacks, it seemed that they were all defeated too easily, as if the other party was seeing the moves, quietly effortlessly, and even the final narrow victory was because of some temporary changes in the Nine Princes, otherwise, it would be a failure.

Thinking about it this way, there is really a possibility that there are spies in the barracks.

"Liang Kui, do you think there is?" Without turning around, with his back on his back, Tian Luo asked in a low voice.

After waiting for a long time, there was no movement, Tian Luo slowly and gently turned his body, but the sleeping couch was too crowded, or affected the comrades in front, Tian Luo just wanted to say sorry, only to see him snuggling his mouth, continue to sleep, look very cute, think, at home must be spoiled by his father and mother, because of the war, but had to be caught up on the battlefield.

When he turned around, he found that Liang Kui had fallen asleep, and the night was late, but Tian Luo was not sleepy, I don't know if the city can be defended, when this battle will end, and I don't know how the old mother at home should spend this year, and whether she is still angry with her sister-in-law.

In this long night, Tian Luo was not the only one who did not feel sleepy, there was another person who was also restless, and the oil was about to run out, and he was still pacing back and forth in the tent, and the sorrow crept up his brow little by little, and a deep groove was drawn between the frowning sword eyebrows, and his patience was also running out little by little.

Suddenly, the curtain of the tent was opened, and Bai Sha hurriedly walked in: "Lord Wang......"

"How's that, tell me quickly!"

The Nine Princes must not be able to wait for his official words, urging him to hurry up and get to the point.

"I've had people check inside and out, and there's no suspicious person." A trace of pity climbed to Baisha's heart, he has followed the prince since he was a child, has been more than ten years, the prince has always been an idler, no quarrel with the world, leisurely, now watching him desperately acropolis, and for the inner ghost frowned, Baisha suddenly felt distressed, but to protect the family and defend the country, can not be persuaded.

"How is that possible?" All kinds of weirdness, all kinds of coincidences, how can it be just coincidences? Zhuo Chenjun's eyebrows were locked tighter, enough to put a copper plate in.

There is no best, but even if there is none, he can only trust the person in front of him in the whole tent.

The Nine Princes pulled Bai Sha's shoulder, leaned his lips to his ear, and let Bai Sha leave after a squeaky explanation.

Palace

The emperor has ordered the annual banquet to be postponed to the day of the triumph of the nine kings and the four kings, so although there are still one or two days to Chinese New Year's Eve, no one dares to put up lights, and because of repeated battles, the emperor is in a very bad mood, two days ago there was a concubine wearing a big red hairpin, was scolded by the emperor, and also demoted the position, since then the palace is even more gloomy, no one dares to breathe loudly.

Baohua Palace, the queen's dormitory

The fifth princess Liu Wanting came to greet in the morning, she was wearing plain clothes, only a few must-have hairpins on her head, no powder on her face, and no red on her lips.

"Wanting to the queen mother, the queen mother is blessed with peace." The voice was like the cry of a lark, the body was like a light swallow flying, and seeing the queen coming out of the bedroom, Liu Wanting quickly knelt in the center of the hall, her head slightly lowered.

"Well, get up." Liu Wanting's dress is very popular with the queen, after she carefully took it, she smiled knowingly, there is no shortage of smart people in the palace, but there is always a shortage of people with hearts, and Liu Wanting is not very smart, but she is very attentive.

"Thank you, Mother." Liu Wanting stood aside after getting up in her robe, and as soon as she put away her heart, she heard the queen's sigh, and moved her eyes to the queen's side with some concern, only to find that the queen was staring at her stomach and sighing, thinking that she wanted to hug her grandson, no wonder, the four princes have two sons, but the fifth prince has none, but she can't be blamed for being alone, it is good to have the cooperation of the prince.

"Has the prince slept well lately?" Tightening the hairpin on the top of her head, the queen looked away from her eyelids and set her eyes on the position of the door, the other concubines and princesses should also be arriving soon.

"After returning to my mother, the prince ......" Liu Wanting hesitated, although the queen was asking, she didn't have any doubts, as if what she wanted to hear was not necessarily related to what she asked, but it didn't work if she didn't answer.

"The prince has been a little worried about Biansai and his father's body in the past two days, so he has some trouble sleeping, and he usually sleeps peacefully when he is past his son." After thinking about it for a long time, Liu Wanting felt that it was best to answer like this, not only to avoid the queen's suspicion, but also to say that she was close to the prince, and to make the queen feel that the fifth prince cared about state affairs.

"Niangniang, Concubine Li, Concubine Liu and other concubines and princesses have all arrived outside the palace."

As soon as Liu Wanting's words fell, the eunuch at the door came over to pass the word, Liu Wanting glanced at the eunuch Liufuzi, Liufuzi was also looking at her, and handed her a look, Liu Wanting took a step back knowingly.

After a while, all the little masters were in place, and after the salute, they all found their own places to sit down, first the concubine, then the princess, and then the side concubine, Liu Xiangyi sat near the door, the wind was a little strong, whenever someone came in, she couldn't help but fold her shoulders, like sitting on pins and needles.

Finally survived the queen's reprimand, it was nothing more than a warning that this year's season should not have music and red joy before the victory of the battle in the border fortress, and at the end of the day, when he was leaving, Liufu rushed in from outside the door, and whispered in the queen's ear for a while, the queen's face sank slightly, and a trace of anger crossed between the ruddy face.
