Chapter Seventy-One
After the three of them left, Shangguan Ying went down to Jingchen's courtyard with Ling'er's support. As soon as Jing Chen saw her, he hurriedly ran over to help her.
"It's such a long way, you watch out for the wounds."
"Third sister-in-law, did the third brother make a will?" Shangguan Ying looked like he would not give up until he found out the truth.
"Ying'er, this matter ....." Yin Jingchen glanced at Ling'er, her eyes reproached, Ling'er waved her hand, with an expression that she didn't say anything.
"It's not Ling'er, it's Dong Yulin's women." Shangguan Ying interrupted Yin Jingchen.
"These women are really interesting, they all thought it was a roundworm in Dong Yulin's stomach, and they ran to you to chew the root of their tongue. This has nothing to do with you, you take care of your body. Jing Chen was indignant.
"Third sister-in-law, I am also clear about the third brother's temperament, Dong Yulin openly disobeyed the holy will, the third brother didn't say it on the surface, but he must mind in his heart. This matter started because of me, and I always have to write to the third brother to explain it clearly. ”
"Ying'er, whether you believe it or not, it won't change their minds. The key to solving the problem is to make each of them take a step, and you are caught in the middle, don't be in a dilemma, listen to me, go back and recuperate, the sky is falling, and Dong Yulin is on top of it. Jing Chen comforted.
"Leave her alone, she will do whatever she wants." Dong Yulin's voice came.
Shangguan Ying paused, and he would come whatever he was afraid of. She didn't want to meet him, but she always did.
Dong Yulin approached her and looked at her condescendingly, she was thin again, her face was pale, and her complexion was not good. The eyebrows are pressed together, as if there is infinite melancholy.
"You are so capable, why didn't you arrest the assassin in the first place, or simply ....." Dong Yulin couldn't go on, because Shangguan Ying suddenly raised his head and smiled at him. The smile gave him a creep, and sure enough, the words she uttered hit him straight to the heart.
Or I'll just die by the Assassin's sword, you mean." This sentence came out of Shangguan Ying's mouth without any emotion, but Dong Yulin was heartbroken when he heard it.
"I'm not doing this for you, I'm for the people of Bodu, I don't want the people to get involved in the war, I just want to do what I can, if the third brother looks at my face, the military budget is allocated, it is naturally good. If I can't get it down, I'm just a sister, and I'll try it or not. Shangguan Ying's attitude was firm. With his eyes glued, he listened to her continue: "You don't have to be stressed, just pay it back today as if I owed you in the past." ”
Dong Yulin didn't say anything, and Shangguan Ying walked down the steps step by step with Ling'er's support.
No one knows what Shangguan Ying said to Shangguan Jun, just ten days after Shangguan Ying's letter was sent, Shangguan Jun's holy decree, as well as armaments and materials plus 100,000 taels of silver, arrived as promised.
Dong Yulin didn't know what Shangguan Ying used as a quid pro quo, in exchange for Shangguan Jun's compromise. Or did they always underestimate Shangguan Ying's status in Shangguan Jun's heart?
Anyway, he got what he wanted, and he will keep his promise. Rectify military affairs, and in two days, the army will go all the way north and smash the old nest of Beijing Wuzhu.
Since the conversation between Shangguan Ying and Dong Yulin that day, Shangguan Ying has never left the Plum Courtyard. Even when Yin Jingchen came to visit, she didn't see her. Two days later, Jing Chen was going to go on the expedition with Lu Ming, and she came to say goodbye to her, but she was blocked out.
In desperation, Jing Chen could only leave her letters.
Dong Yulin went out on the expedition, and the people of the entire palace went out to see him off, only Shangguan Ying and Ling'er listened to the sound of the horn in the Mei Courtyard and prayed silently.
Dong Yulin's army went all the way north, and Yin Jingchen and Lu Ming mixed in the team, following the left and right of Dong Yulin's car.
The desert scenery stretches for thousands of miles, and Yin Jingchen is the first time to see it. This kind of wind gusting and sand flying days is a rare sight.
Lu Ming always reminded her to be careful, beware of desert storms, beware of secret enemies, and even elusive wolves.
This dangerous feeling stimulated Jing Chen's senses.
That night, they camped in Ami, the northernmost city in Mobei. Lu Ming reminded Jing Chen to stay awake at all times. If there is any wind blowing in the grass, he will call him, Jing Chen agreed.
Dong Yulin sat on the grass in front of the tent, looking at the starless sky. He pulled out the horn he had always carried with him. Blow it in a low voice.
is still the song "Annoyed Song", Yin Jingchen has not heard this song for a long time, and I think it was because of this song that their fate changed.
Since then, everyone involved has avoided the piece, consciously or unconsciously, and only she occasionally remembers it. But I really won't play it anymore.
"She hasn't played this piece since we got married." Dong Yulin listened to the footsteps behind him, as if he was talking to himself, but he was talking to the same insomniac.
"I'd hate this tune too." Jing Chen could hear Dong Yulin's sadness, but he still told the truth.
"This song is Shangguan Jun's favorite." Dong Yulin also said directly.
"I'm afraid I don't like it anymore."
Dong Yulin laughed. "She once ran up to me and told me that we wouldn't interfere with each other. How is it possible not to interfere with each other. Under the same roof, but I actually agreed. ”
Yin Jingchen also remembered that Shangguan Ying also deliberately told her that they had agreed not to interfere with each other, and when she said that Dong Yulin agreed, she still wondered how Dong Yulin could agree with Dong Yulin's personality, but now it seems that he just gave in, and for a while, he looked at Dong Yulin's lonely look and understood his thoughts.
"One day, Lu Ming and Shangguan Jun will face each other, which side are you on?"
"I don't know." Jing Chen evaded.
"You don't have to answer me now, there is a time when I want to ......," Dong Yulin said halfway through his words and did not continue. Yin Jingchen chased after him and asked, but he didn't say anything. He got up and went back to his tent.
On the second day, Dong Yulin led a part of the army out of the city of Ami and approached the city of Jingwuzhu.
At the moment when Dong Yulin sent troops from Bodu, Jing Wuzhu was furious. Yin Jingning on the side did not dare to come out.
"Dong Yulin wants to kill all of them and have a convincing reason, he is a woman. Don't say that I didn't send someone to plot, even if I sent someone, I wouldn't attack a woman. ”
Yuan Heguang looked at Yin Jingning without saying a word, and Yin Jingning stepped forward to persuade: "The matter has come to this, and the king has to prepare early." ”
Jing Wuzhu glared at Yin Jingning, "I'm afraid you have long wanted me to fight." I can't figure it out, how much hatred Dong Yulin has with you, wait..... "Jing Wuzhu seems to think of something" Did you send out the people?"
Yin Jingning trembled, but still pretended to be calm. "Listen to me, my lord."
Jing Wuzhu slapped him in the face, "Make the decision without permission, who gave you the guts." ”
Yin Jingning's face was hot and painful, and Yuan Heguang had a good look on his face. Jing Wuzhu glanced at Yuan Heguang and drove this rat-eyed man out.
Jing Wuzhu has never been a person who pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade, he has always done his own thing and is not subject to any constraints. As long as he wants it, no matter whether there is anyone or not, and whether Yin Jing would rather or not, he will vent wantonly regardless of the occasion or place.
Yin Jingning was tired of it for a long time, but he had to accept him and follow him. Because she has to rely on him to confront Dong Yulin and Shangguan Jun. Xu Shidie persuaded her not to be so obsessed, but she didn't listen and scolded her.
She knew a little about the relationship between Xu Shidie and Shangguan Jun, and it was because she sympathized with her that she accepted Xu Shidie as her command. This woman did not disappoint her, was loyal to her, and had a vision that should not be underestimated.
From the moment Dong Yulin sent out the army, Yin Jingning remembered that she hated him, but she thought about him all the time. Shangguan Jun has a grudge against him for killing his father, and Shangguan Ying has a grudge against him for taking his husband. After staying in Bodu for a year, she knows the person Dong Yulin cares about the most, and she can't wait to kill Shangguan Ying.
She sent people to secretly monitor the palace's every move, and since she retreated to the northern city of Ami, the people she sent did not find any news about Shangguan Ying. It is enough to see how well Dong Yulin protected Shangguan Ying.
When she learned that Dong Yulin surrendered to Shangguan Jun because of Shangguan Ying's relationship, she thought that her opportunity had come, but in the end, she didn't wait for the news that Shangguan Ying was disposed of, and what she was waiting for was indeed the news of the birth of the son. Jealousy drove her crazy, and she tried everything to put Shangguan Ying to death, but she had no chance. He hates Dong Yulin even more, why was he betrayed, and he still had to find ways to protect her. She didn't understand.
Dong Yulin's army approached the northern city of Ami, where Jingwuzhu was located. Jing Wuzhu had already built a defensive line, and it was a failure, only in this battle.
Jing Wuzhu stood on the city wall, looking down at Dong Yulin's army. Majestic, high-spirited. It's another uphill battle. But he didn't want to fight.
"Lord Dong, you are famous, why are you willing to succumb to Shangguan Jun's men, why don't we talk, you know what I am planning in Jingwuzhu, I don't have your ambitions, as for the family feud, I am willing to let go, it depends on whether you are willing to cooperate with me."
Dong Yulin looked like he was holding the chance to win, looking lazy. "Jing Wuzhu, now that my soldiers are in the city, you have become a fish on the knife board, you tell me to cooperate? Why are you? Who shall I go to for my father's life?
"I told you that my father's life was not my fault, and although I really want to take revenge, I don't want to do it. If you are willing, I will send you Jingwuzhu to help you rule the world. ”
"What if I don't agree?"
"Then I have nothing to say, you don't want to be used by Shangguan Jun, if it is really a confrontation, I don't have as many people as you, but I dare to say that you can't take advantage of it either."
Dong Yulin smiled, "Since that's the case, then please go down to the city tower, and let's talk face to face." ”
The people around Jing Wuzhu reminded him to be careful of deception, Jing Wuzhu ignored it, pushed the man away, went down to the city tower by himself, ordered someone to open the city gate, and rushed to the front of the two armies with only a few followers.
Dong Yulin nodded appreciatively, "There is courage." ”
"If you want to cooperate, you must have the sincerity of cooperation." Jing Wuzhu clenched his fists and showed favor to Dong Yulin.
