The Battle of Hasegawa ended with Choi Changdeok's suicide.

There is no final desperate resistance, no imaginary one-on-one duel. The process of leading troops is the life of a general, and if his own soldiers are gone, then the so-called generals will lose their meaning. Cui Changde knew that his career as a soldier was over, so he ended his life, which is the arrogance of a famous general.

As for the so-called one-on-one duel is just futile, a man's struggle is meaningless in the face of this fiasco of war, and he does not want to survive alone. What's more, how can Li Pofeng be easy to match?

Li Xuanji looked at the "Collection of Famous Generals' Stories" in his hand with some blankness, it was lying in his hands so quietly, without any abnormality.

Li Pofeng's battle of Pingguchuan was still in full view, and it took him more than half a month to lay out and win the war, but when Li Xuanji woke up, he found that the long battle he experienced in a trance was just a dream in reality. The posture of reading by himself has not changed, the small courtyard is still quiet, and the sunlight outside the window is still there, but it is much more west.

It turns out that I have been reading books and stories all along, but my consciousness is caught in the stories I have read. The interpretation of a classic battle took nothing more than the time it took Li Xuanji to finish reading a story.

Li Xuanji sighed a little.

How many famous generals and miracles have been created in the struggle for hegemony, but how many miserable creatures in the world have been destroyed? And those former glories have long since disappeared under the washing of time. What is left of the country or fame that has been won at so much cost? Success or failure has turned empty, the green mountains are still there, and the sunset has been red several times.

Li Xuanji looked at the "Collection of Famous Generals' Stories" in his hand again, and now he knows the extraordinaryness of this book. As a relic left by his parents back then, it is indeed not simple. Although he still didn't know what the significance of this book was, it finally caught his attention.

While Li Xuanji was in a daze, there was a knock on the door.

He put the book in his hand back into the Qiankun bag, opened the door, and saw that it was the housekeeper of the year. In the hands of the housekeeper is holding a stack of clean and neat clothes.

"Li Gongzi, this is the clothes that the eldest lady wants me to hand over to you! I said that I would like you to wear this suit to accompany the eldest lady to the banquet in two days. ”

Li Xuanji took the clothes, looked at them, and found that they were a new set of clothes sewn from expensive fabrics, luxurious but very restrained.

"Thank you, Uncle Nian!" he nodded and thanked Steward Nian.

"Gongzi Li doesn't have to be polite! The old slave won't disturb Gongzi's rest. ”

After speaking, the housekeeper turned around and left, but after walking a few steps, he turned around and whispered: "Master Li, this dress was personally selected by the eldest lady when she went out before. ”

After he finished speaking, he seemed to feel that he was talking too much, and turned around and hurried away.

Li Xuanji took the clothes back to his room, compared them on his body at random, and found that it was indeed very suitable for his figure, and he looked energetic and extraordinary, so he was immediately satisfied, and commented to himself: "It turns out that this woman is quite bright!"

During the two days in the Ling Mansion, Ling Cangyue did come to Li Xuanji specifically and gave a detailed introduction to the banquet that the two of them were about to attend. After that, he didn't pay attention to Li Xuanji anymore, but dragged Jin Ling around all day long, bought a lot of clothes and snacks for Jin Ling, and spoiled her very much. So much so that even Jin Ling himself was a little embarrassed to mention the matter of finding a son again.

In the past two days, Li Xuanji also specially found Mrs. Ling to understand the pressure of all parties faced by the general's mansion under the surging undercurrent of Pingyang City, as well as the difficulties or difficulties that may be faced at the banquet.

This banquet had actually been set long before Li Xuanji came, although it was nominally just a gathering of a few noble sons and ladies in the Pingyang Imperial City, but in fact it was a small test of the general's mansion by some nobles and snobbery. Use the relationship between young people to test Ling Cangyue's attitude, and then use her attitude to figure out Ling Zhanye's attitude. Among them, there are even some unwilling people who want to persuade Ling Cangyue.

However, this banquet changed its flavor after Li Xuanji came to Pingyang Imperial City.

The temptations they had prepared before were obviously meaningless, and what they were going to do next was to determine the true relationship between this strange man who suddenly appeared and Ling Cangyue, as for the true identity of this man, it didn't matter.

Time flies, two days pass in the blink of an eye, and the time for the banquet has arrived.

Early in the morning, the housekeeper had already instructed the servants to come and serve Li Xuanji to wash, and dressed him neatly, tidied up the edges and corners of his clothes, dressed him up in a new look, and combed a very spiritual bun for him. At first glance, it looks no different from those aristocratic sons in the imperial city, and even more temperamental.

When Ling Cangyue saw the newly dressed Li Xuanji for the first time, she was stunned, and only came back to her senses after a few breaths, but her face was still cold, she just nodded and spit out two words: "Not bad!"

As for Ling Cangyue, she was not dressed up in a special way, she was still as usual, except for a new set of clothes, nothing else. She didn't seem to be interested in this banquet, and she didn't care what others thought of her at the banquet.

And what really attracted Li Xuanji's attention was Jin Ling, who was standing beside Ling Cangyue.

Since Jin Ling transformed into a human, all her clothes and clothes were prepared by Li Xuanji, and even the clothes and washing were handed over to Jin Ling by him in the same way. Although he had seen all the ways in which women dressed and washed, he did not know it himself, but only drew a scoop from a gourd. Therefore, there are many places in Jin Ling's dressing that are not standardized, but these small problems are covered up by Jin Ling's likable appearance, and no one notices.

And now it has only been three days since Jin Ling followed Ling Cangyue away, but it is really new.

Her dress is light and beautiful, as gorgeous as neon, as light as cicada wings, showing her petite and graceful body to the fullest. Youth is compelling and noble and elegant, making people feel as delicate as a peony, and like a lotus, it can only be viewed from a distance and cannot be blasphemed. Jin Ling's cat bun was retained, perhaps because Ling Cangyue also felt that such a bun was most suitable for her, but the re-pulled cat bun was more delicate and beautiful than before.

It was the first time Li Xuanji saw Jin Ling so cute and beautiful, and he praised Ling Cangyue's vision in his heart. is worthy of being a super aristocratic lady, much better than a rough man like him.

"Ahh

As soon as Jin Ling saw Li Xuanji's appearance, he pounced directly, and directly forgot the so-called ladylike posture he had just learned, and habitually jumped into his arms, hugged his neck, buried his head in her chin, and the two legs were very indecently coiled around his waist.

Seeing that several maids and maids not far away were dumbfounded, and Ling Cangyue directly darkened her face.

Feeling the tenderness on his chest, Li Xuanji laughed, and habitually wanted to go to the waist of the landlord Jin Ling.

"Smack!" As a result, there was a sudden crisp sound, and the back of Li Xuanji's hand was in sharp pain, and then the Jin Ling in his arms was forcibly pulled down.

Ling Cangyue separated Jin Ling from Li Xuanji with a dark face, and then slowly tidied up the messy hem of her clothes and skirts for her in the confusion on Jin Ling's face. Li Xuanji was embarrassed when he looked at the coaxing slap print on the back of his hand.

"Little Brother Li, I warn you, you don't want to take advantage of Jin Ling in the future!"

Ling Cangyue stared at Li Xuanji with her eyes and said, "Although Jin Ling is a girl you took in, she is not your slave maid, not your child daughter-in-law. And from now on, Jin Ling is my sister, the young lady of our general's mansion. I don't care what happened to the two of you before, but from now on, you will never hug and hug like this again. And don't forget, your current identity is the son-in-law of the General's Mansion known to the entire Pingyang Imperial City, don't do something out of the ordinary with other women and be caught!

Ling Cangyue's tone was cold, and she only paused briefly when she said 'son-in-law of the General's Mansion', her face was slightly red.

Li Xuanji was speechless, and it took a long time to hold back a sentence: "When did Jin Ling become the young lady of the General's Mansion, who agreed to ......?"

"Just yesterday, my mother agreed!"

Li Xuanji: "......"

Well, Mrs. Ling's decision was actually not unexpected by Li Xuanji. Jin Ling is a simple girl who is loved by everyone everywhere, coupled with the pitiful life experience that Li Xuanji made up for her, a woman like Mrs. Ling who shines with maternal brilliance must not be driven by her heart, and it is completely possible to recognize a goddaughter. Coupled with what Mrs. Ling said to Li Xuanji a few days ago, this may be a way for her to prevent trouble.

Jin Ling reluctantly flicked the tulle on her sleeves, she didn't understand why Ling Cangyue, who doted on her, didn't allow herself to hug her son. For her, hugging is as natural as being hungry and wanting to eat. But now that she is 'hungry' but doesn't let herself 'eat', this makes her a little incomprehensible and difficult to accept.

Li Xuanji knew what she was thinking when she looked at her pouting appearance, and after Ling Cangyue turned around, he sneaked to Jin Ling's side and whispered, "Little girl, don't worry, I'll let you hug you when no one is around!"

Jin Ling suddenly smiled, but Ling Cangyue, who was walking in front, suddenly clenched her fists!

After three days of stuffiness, I was finally able to walk out of the General's Mansion, but I just stepped out of the mansion and got into the carriage.

"Miss Ling, where is this banquet held? Why don't you tell me all the time, even Aunt Yun won't tell me, she said you won't let me say it. Now that we're all ready to go, it's time for you to reveal the location, right?" asked Li Xuanji.

"Don't you know when you get to the place, what's the hurry!"

"Then why do you have to bring Jin Ling?" Li Xuanji asked, pointing to Jin Ling next to him.

"Jin Ling is cute, and he can help me spread a lot of firepower. ”

"Firepower?" Li Xuanji didn't understand, and Ling Cangyue didn't explain.

The carriage went north out of the city gate until it reached the top of a mountain, stopping in front of a large manor. And Li Xuanji finally knew the location of this banquet.

Huaqing Palace!
