Before entering the palace to see Weinong, Ming Chenyuan first went back to the mansion to bathe and change clothes, looking at the curtain and white silk, he still couldn't ease his mood. After sorting out his thoughts, he copied Weng Jiutong's confession again, which could be regarded as calming down.

At this time, it was almost evening, the sun was setting, he rode his horse alone to the palace of King Yan, a man and a horse projected a long shadow on the road, fluttering and helpless, lonely and sad.

The human heart is always complicated. Even though the husband and wife have gone farther and farther apart, he still can't let go of her forever.

Along the way, the sound of horses' hooves was heavy and fast, bringing him into the palace of King Yan, and he changed his shoulders to arrive at Weiyang Palace. Who expected Xiaoxin to be guarding outside the door, and when she saw him, she said: "The queen has arrived, and the county lord invites you to Luanxiang Fengzhu Pavilion." ”

Wei Lianpian is also there? Ming Chenyuan didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly ran to Luanxiang Fengzhu Pavilion to meet the two. In the distance, I saw two women in palace costumes standing above the attic, looking out from the railing, standing in the wind.

At dusk, the sky was flushed all over the pavilion, reflecting on the two women, as if draped in a soft red veil for them. Ming Chenyuan stood under the attic, he couldn't bear to disturb this peaceful scene for a while, and after stopping for a while, he stepped up to the second floor.

He had practiced martial arts, and his steps were quiet, until the person had reached the second floor, and the two women reacted and turned to look at him together.

Wei Nong took the lead in asking, "Are things done?" ”

Ming Chen glanced at Wei Lianpian from afar, but he had any scruples, and only nodded: "It's done." ”

Wei Lianpian also saluted him: "Second son, you...... Condolences. ”

Mingchen didn't know how to reply to her, so he had to bow his head slightly.

For some reason, Wei Lianpian saw that he had some self-blame, so he didn't stay long, and left directly. When the two met, Ming Chenyuan saw a trace of haggard on her bright face, and wanted to be concerned, but before the words could be spoken, she had already passed by him.

Concern is the same, and so is affection, once each other misses the best opportunity, some words will be difficult to say again.

Ming Chenyuan was a little stunned for a while, and was slightly seen in his eyes, and immediately called him: "What can be judged today?" ”

Ming Chenyuan hurriedly came back to his senses, took out Weng Jiutong's confession and her Emei thorn from his sleeve, and handed them over.

After reading the confession, Wei Nong's eyebrows frowned: "Quickly send someone to keep an eye on these people to prevent them from making any changes." ”

Ming Chenyuan nodded: "I also have this intention." ”

He was still absent-minded, and looked down at the pavilion again, only to see the two palace maids following Wei Lianpian and moving away, and a few graceful and slender shadows appeared in the last halo of dusk.

He turned to hesitate and asked, "Why did you call Lian Pian over?" ”

"Ask Nie Xingyi about it and test how much she knows." Wei Nong didn't hide it from him.

"But what did you try?"

"No, it seems that she really doesn't know." Wei Nong seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: "It's okay like this, so as not to involve her." ”

Ming Chenyuan also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and then began to worry again: "You blatantly called her over like this, aren't you afraid of startling the snake?" ”

"Once Weng Jiutong has an accident, he will already startle the snake, what are you afraid of." Wei Nong leaned on the trunk with one hand, looked into the distance, and sighed deeply: "Actually, I prefer to go straight, Nie Xingyi must also know." ”

She returned Weng Jiutong's confession to Ming Chenyuan, and then advised: "You have to write to him quickly, if Yan Jiang's peace talks are going well, urge him to come back!" If this continues, I don't know how much longer I'll be able to hold on. ”

Ming Chenyuan didn't know what he was thinking, he still looked at the figure that almost disappeared, and after a while, he said in despair: "Okay." ”

*****

However, before Ming Chenyuan's letter of return was sent, an eight-hundred-mile urgent letter was delivered from Jiang Guofei. It must be known that Nie Xingji has been away from Yan Country for half a year, and this is the first time he has used 800 li to expedit, which shows the importance of the content of the letter - he ordered Ming Chenyuan, the Marquis of Zhenguo, to immediately command 100,000 soldiers and horses, and arrive at the foot of 100,000 mountains within two months.

As soon as this life came out, there was an uproar, and everyone understood that Nie Xingji was going to start a war against Ning Guo. All of a sudden, the court was divided into two factions, those who were excited and worried, and those who were worried and resolute opponents, who were arguing with the court every day.

Fortunately, Nie Xingjian had a high prestige in the army, and several ministers with heavy troops were fully supportive, so that Ming Chenyuan gathered 100,000 troops in just ten days, and it took another ten days to prepare the first batch of grain and grass.

When Wei Nong heard the news, his first reaction was also to oppose it, and he objected extremely strongly: "Isn't it too hasty to send troops now?" ”

"Your Highness means to take advantage of the winter when everything is dormant, and there are no poisonous insects in the 100,000 mountains, let the army cross the border first." Ming Chenyuan replied, "I have analyzed with several generals in the court, Your Highness's approach seems to be bold, but it is actually exquisite. As long as Jiang Guo lets the army be stationed in Jiang Land, then we can go to Jiang Country first to familiarize ourselves with the environment, and then slowly plan to start a war with the Ning army, which is actually beneficial and harmless. ”

"But in this way, it makes Ning Guo vigilant!" Wei Nong is still opposed.

"From the moment His Highness went to Jiang Guo to negotiate peace, Ning Guo was already vigilant," Ming Chenyuan reassured her, "You should trust Your Highness's judgment ability, he will never take the lives of 100,000 soldiers as a child's play." ”

"It's so fast!" Wei Nong became more and more anxious: "If you follow his style, will you have to go to war with the Ning army in the New Year?" ”

"That's good, fast, to be surprised." Ming Chenyuan was excited: "Great, I have nowhere to vent my depression, and it is exactly what I want to be able to fight against Ning Jun!" ”

This man, who was still depressed a few days ago, has now his eyes shining and his words are excited, which shows that he really belongs to the battlefield. Wei Nong didn't know whether this matter was good or bad, but she always felt uneasy in her heart.

Even if it is Nie Xingji's decision, others must not be able to change it, especially now that the army, grain and grass have been assembled, it is not at all the fact that her words alone can influence the fact that the army is about to be requisitioned. But......

"Even you are gone, leave me the mess of Yanwang Palace, how can I withstand it!" Wei Nong felt more and more irritable: "I really don't know what he thinks, but he can rest assured to smash it at me!" ”

Ming Chenyuan was also quite surprised by this. In the past, when Wei Nong was in Ningguo Jiangguo, Nie Xingji always silently arranged everything for her, so as to keep abreast of her news at all times, for fear that she would not eat well and live outside, or her life would be in danger. But now that she is back with him, he has been gone for half a year, no longer arranging anything for her, and letting her do what she wants.

In the past, he was still in Yan Country as the Marquis of Zhenguo, and Nie Xingchen was relieved to be reasonable, but this time he was going to lead the army to set off, was he really not afraid of what happened to Wei Nong alone in the palace? And with so much government affairs, can he really throw his hands away?

This has to be replaced by someone else, where is he willing to throw his own woman in the tiger's den and wolf's den! Is it that Nie Xingji is too confident in the defense of the Yan Palace? Or is it too confident in the ability to be slightly thick? Or did he have something else he didn't want Wei Nong to know?

The more Ming Chenyuan thought about it, the more worried he felt, neither did he go, nor did he stay, he was really in a dilemma.

Wei Thick was also angry with Nie Xingji in his heart. Originally, she also asked Ming Chenyuan to write a letter urging him to come back, but she didn't want the letter to be sent out yet, so she got such a thunderbolt news on a sunny day! He's going to leave her in the palace and fight alone!

On the one hand, she has to take into account the situation in Yan Wang's Palace, and on the other hand, she has to worry about Yan Jiang going to war, what does Nie Xingji want her to do? Without Ming Chen's support behind her, how could she control the situation in the palace?

"Don't worry, Yan Jiang and the talks are over, I will go, and His Highness will be able to come back soon." Ming Chenyuan frowned and pondered for a moment: "Now I'm just worried about Nie Xingyi, I'm afraid that he will take advantage of this gap to make trouble." ”

"The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, take one step at a time!" So far, Wei Nong has to accept this fact: "How about the grain and grass? In case you're gone, and he hasn't returned, and the army needs food and grass, I don't know anything! ”

"Don't worry, I've made all the arrangements, at least I can last until His Highness returns to Beijing." Ming Chenyuan comforted her.

Wei Nong was relieved, and asked again weakly: "When will the army leave?" ”

"Five days later." Ming Chenyuan hesitated for a moment before saying: "I heard from the nurse that the eldest princess takes good care of several children, and I want to go there myself tomorrow and ask her to help me take care of it for a while." ”

Wei Nong nodded: "The eldest princess understands the righteousness, for the sake of you going to lead the troops, she will definitely agree to you." ”

"After I leave, you must discuss with the eldest princess if you have something, and as a last resort, let her come forward to protect you." Mingchen is far away and slightly thick.

"Well, he's coming back soon, and I'll be able to hold out until the end of the year at most." Wei Nong didn't want him to worry.

But Rao said so, she actually didn't have any foundation in her heart, and after thinking about it, she decided to go out of the palace to discuss with her master Ji Fengzhi. When the master and apprentice met, Wei Nong explained everything that had happened in these days, and poured out the difficulties he was facing, Ji Fengzhi listened carefully, and only asked her: "Do you know what the rules of Momen are?" ”

"I've heard that it's 'killing to kill.'" Wei Nong shuddered as he spoke: "But I don't agree with this method. ”

Ji Fengzhi shook his head: "When I was young, your father and I didn't agree with this method, but now that I'm older, I think this is very reasonable." 'Killing to stop killing' does not mean that you kill innocents indiscriminately, but that you should kill those who should be killed, so as to prevent new killings. ”

"But," Wei Nong still disagreed, "Nie Xingyi is the nominal king of a country after all, if I really kill him, won't it cause chaos in the DPRK and China?" ”

"Silly boy," Ji Fengzhi nodded with a smile, "This 'kill' is not the other 'kill', you don't want to kill him as a person, but kill his heart." ”

"An insatiable person like him won't die easily at all, especially before Nie Xingji comes back, he will be even more fearless."

"Then make him jealous of you."

After hearing this, Wei Nong realized: "The disciple seems to understand a little." ”
