After spending a few days in such a safe way, Wei Nong really met two groups of officers and soldiers who came to investigate. Fortunately, Chen Gongfeng went up and down, and called the officers and soldiers brothers, so she barely escaped the catastrophe.

It's just that there has been no news about the first day of the new year and the Lantern Festival, which makes her very worried.

The wax moon passed quietly, and because of the battle between Yan and Chu, Tianfu City did not have the atmosphere of the New Year, and it was a bleak scene. Wei Nong heard Chen Gongzhu say that the king of Chu sent three generals in the court in a row, but none of them could withstand Nie Xingji's offensive. It's just that Nie Xingji didn't slaughter the city again.

When Wei Nong heard the news, his heart was really complicated. As a native of Yan Guo, she naturally doesn't want Yan Guo to lose; But she didn't want Chu Li to lose...... In her heart, she still hopes that the two countries can stop fighting and make peace and restore diplomatic relations, just like before.

Since ancient times, there has been a rule in Kyushu that no war can be fought during the first month, otherwise it will destroy the national honor. Naturally, the two countries of Yan and Chu also followed the tradition left by their ancestors and temporarily ceased fighting for a month.

Wei Nong thought that he had finally seen a glimmer of hope, but in less than two days, an even bigger blow followed-Chu Li wanted to take command and fight in person!

When Chen Gongzhi told her the news, she was washing the dishes, but her hands suddenly shook and immediately broke two dishes. She remembered that dream, remembered Chu Li's unhealed right hand, and an unprecedented panic surged into her heart - she felt that she was going to lose Chu Li forever!

"Isn't there room for manoeuvre? Is there no one in the DPRK? Why do you want the prince to take command and recruit in person? Wei Nong asked eagerly.

Chen Gongzhi sighed: "One, several generals in the DPRK and China are dead and defeated, and no one is the opponent of Nie Xingji and Ming Chenyuan; Second, the current situation is unfavorable, the military style is decadent, and His Royal Highness's personal recruitment can boost morale; Third, the king has promised that as long as His Royal Highness recovers the defeat, you will not be held accountable for leaving the palace. ”

After hearing this, Wei Nong shook his head again and again: "Why is he doing this...... How dangerous it is on the battlefield. ”

"Speaking of this Nie Xingji," Chen Gong said with a pause, "Do you know him?" ”

Wei Nong remembered what Nie Xingji had done to him, and couldn't help but sneer: "I don't understand, and I don't want to understand." ”

Chen Gong saw that she was quite dissatisfied with Nie Xingji in her words, so he said angrily: "I heard that it was he who fought the main battle, and King Yan would send troops to attack Chu." I don't know what our Chu State owes him, he can be so ruthless! ”

"You said that Nie Xingji is the main battle?" Wei Nong's heart was suffocated, and then there was overwhelming anger. If she could still convince herself to understand Nie Xingji in the slightest trace when she came to Chu Country to make peace with her relatives three years ago, then this time, she was completely disappointed in him! No, not disappointment, hatred!

What is he doing this time again! Why did he fight? Why do you always disrupt her life, provoke her again and again, and destroy her low-hanging fruit!

Thinking of this, Wei Min suddenly closed his eyes and blurted out uncontrollably: "If Nie Xingji dares to hurt Chu Li, I will die with him!" ”

Chen Gongzhi didn't know the inside story of her past with Nie Xingji, but he didn't expect her to say this, and he didn't know how to answer for a while. After a while, he sighed: "Your Highness will leave early tomorrow morning." ”

……

Hearing the news that Chu Li was about to go on the expedition, Wei Nong tossed and turned all night without sleeping. In the early morning of the next day, she felt so uncomfortable that she planned to sneak to the city gate to see the prince's personal expedition.

She could almost imagine that Chu Li would personally take command of the expedition, and how many people would see him off. And for himself, just look at him again from afar, from afar.

Thinking like this, she couldn't sit still anymore, and while it was still dark, Chen Gongzhu next door hadn't woken up yet, she changed into men's clothes, and planned to go out quietly.

However, before she could reach the gate, she heard a sharp knock on the door. Her heart tightened, and she hurriedly ran to the outside of Chen Gongzhu's house, and was about to knock on the door, but the latter had already heard the movement, jumped up from the bed, picked up the saber and rushed out of the door.

Chen Gongzhi glanced at the slightly thick costume, frowned, and didn't bother to ask more. He ran to the door in three steps and two steps, drew his sword against the center of the crack in the door, and then deliberately yawned, and asked vaguely: "Early in the morning, who the hell is going to disturb Lao Tzu's dream?" ”

A delicate female voice sounded outside: "Brother Chen, it's us." The first day of the new year and the Lantern Festival! ”

Chen Gong was stunned for a moment, his sense of vigilance was born, and he scolded and said: "Hmm, what is the Lantern Festival on the first day of the new year, Lao Tzu is still Laba!" Get out of here, get out of the way! Don't be related to Lao Tzu! ”

The person outside the door was silent for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "'I want to fly with joy and strength, and I want to go to the blue sky and catch the bright moon'!" ”

This is the code agreed by Chu Li and Chen Gongzhi in advance, if there is "their own person" coming, they will use this code connection. Chen Gongzhi relaxed his vigilance a little, and hurriedly opened the door latch, but saw that Chu Yi and Lantern Xiao were dressed up as ordinary little maids, standing outside the door with their burdens, and their faces were full of haggardness.

"Brother Chen!" The two girls called out in unison, and tears flowed before they spoke.

Chen Gong hurriedly pulled the two into the house, and deliberately looked out, and the streets near the early morning were empty, and there was no one in sight.

"How did you get here?" He asked as he closed the door.

Lantern Xiao only cared about wiping her tears, but Chu Yi was calmer, and sobbed: "His Highness sent someone to send us here, and the carriage stopped at the first two intersections, and we found it ourselves." ”

Chen Gongzhen understood, it must have been Chu Li who was worried about the leakage of the secret words, so he let Chu Yi and Lantern Xiao come over on their own.

While the three of them were talking, Wei Nong, who was hiding in the house, finally heard the movement and hurriedly ran out. She was happy, happy and guilty in her heart, and immediately stepped forward to hug the two of them and apologized again and again.

The three girls hugged each other and cried for a long time before they each talked about what happened in the past month. It turned out that after Wei Nong fled, Chu Li ordered everything to go up and down Yuntai Palace as usual, pretending not to know. By the time the king of Chu found out, it was already five days later, and he was reluctant to question his son, so he put the first day of the first month and the Lantern Festival into the prison, trying to torture him to extract a confession.

Chu Li didn't dare to disobey the king of Chu anymore on his face, but in private, he took care of the jailers, saying that it was "torture and interrogation", but in fact, it was thunder and rain, and the two only suffered some skin injuries.

After staying in the prison for more than ten days, Chu Li persuaded the king of Chu to put the two back in Yuntai Palace on the condition of "taking command and marching in person". Until last night, he specially asked them to change their clothes, and this morning he took the opportunity to go to the battlefield and sent them here.

After listening to what happened to Chu Yi and Lantern Xiao, and seeing Chu Li protecting them like this, she was both moved and uncomfortable, and she couldn't say anything for a while.

Lantern Xiao looked like she had just woken up from a dream, and kept sighing: "Why did you suddenly go to war?" Didn't you say that Yan Chu had always been good friends? ”

"The affairs of the court are changing, who can say for sure!" The first day of the junior high school was more stable in the end, and sighed worriedly: "Now I only hope that the two countries can turn hostility into friendship, truce and reconcile!" ”

Wei Nong and Lantern Xiao nodded again and again. The former was about to say something more, when he suddenly saw Chen Gongzhu suddenly break in, with a look of surprise on his face: "Niangniang, Your Highness is here!" ”

"What?!" Wei Nong suddenly got up and ran into the garden, but in the faint morning light, a man in silver armor stood tall and looked at her with a smile. The thin sunlight sprinkled a pale golden glow around him, as if he had stood here since ancient times, and let the years go by, the mountains and rivers changed, and his demeanor did not change, and his posture was imposing.

"Chu Li......" was slightly hot, and he didn't dare to step forward, lest this was his dream for a while, and once he got close, he would return to reality.

Chu Li still smiled faintly, and took the initiative to stretch out his left hand towards her: "Come, let me see you." ”

Only then did Wei Nong let go of a hanging heart, and threw himself into his arms at once, ignoring the cold hand of the armor, and hugged him tightly and refused to let go.

Chu Li pulled her up from her arms, and there was no time to complain to each other: "The army was requisitioned this morning, I specially turned over to see you, and I have to leave immediately." ”

Wei Nong's heart ached suddenly, and he looked at the clear and dusty face under the helmet: "Why have you lost weight......

Chu Li didn't answer, lowered his head and untied the sword at his waist and handed it to her: "Take it for self-defense." ”

Wei Nong glanced at the Shocking Sword in his hand, and hurriedly shook his head: "No, this sword is too valuable, I can't ask for it." ”

"I didn't say to give it to you, I just borrowed it from you for self-defense." Chu Li chuckled: "You have the right to keep it for me temporarily, now the people in the palace are panicking, and my father has no time to take care of the Shocking Sword, what if someone steals it?" ”

Wei Affection knew that time was precious, and he didn't want to waste it on this matter, so he had to nod: "Okay, I'll wait for you to come back." ”

Five words, she said very slowly and eagerly. At this moment, she really regarded herself as Chu Li's wife, her husband went on the expedition, his wife saw him off, she was asking him to take care of himself and return as soon as possible.

"When you come back, we'll have a round house." She added another sentence, but there was no ambiguity, but more like a promise of a longing, an urgent confession. She feared that if she didn't say it today, she would never have a chance again.

"Good. If I can come back, let's have a round of room at once. Chu Li nodded quickly, the smile on his face did not change, but the next sentence was so cruel: "But if I can't come back, you don't want to stay in Chu State." ”

"What did you say!" Wei Nong was anxious when he heard this: "I am your wife, I want you to promise me that I must come back!" Certain! ”

Chu Li smiled faintly, as if he had seen through life and death: "The sword has no eyes on the battlefield, if there is a ...... Don't be too sad either...... Let's go back to Yan Kingdom! ”

"Impossible! You're the boss, and you don't have to go to the battlefield yourself. The slightly thick tears were about to burst out of her eyes, but she endured it and firmly grasped Chu Li's hand: "You will definitely come back safely!" Nie Xingji ...... He won't, you won't lose to him! ”

At this point, the slightly thick emotions were finally on the verge of collapse, and she somehow shouted out in an instant, crying bitterly: "Nie Xingji...... How can it be so shameless! What the hell is he going to do! If he dares to hurt you...... I...... I will definitely ......."

"Weinong, don't be resentful." Chu Li gently interrupted her words, wiped away the tears for her with his fingertips, and said calmly: "Kyushu has been divided for too long, and the power of the four kingdoms will be broken sooner or later...... It's just that we are too comfortable and let our guard down. ”

After he said this, he raised his eyes to look at the sky, and finally advised: "In case the Chu State is defeated, you will let Mr. Ji send you to the Yan State camp...... Nie Xingji won't hurt you. ”
