Chapter 32: The War Resumes
Ah Chun looked at Chen Hao'er, who practiced swords day and night in the courtyard, and was very worried. Since the last time I saw Yu Nian in the palace, Chen Hao'er began to say a word, neither eat nor drink, but practiced swords in the courtyard day and night.
"Niangniang, you haven't eaten since you got up today, it's afternoon, you can eat a little." Ah Chun walked closer to Chen Hao'er in small steps. "Ah Chun, go away, be careful of hurting you." Chen Hao'er didn't stop the sword in her hand, "Niangniang! Ah Chun shouted loudly. Chen Hao'er paused, sighed, threw out a beautiful sword flower, and then stabbed the sword on the scarecrow in the courtyard.
"Ah Chun, you don't have to worry about me. I'm much more comfortable like this. Chen Hao'er patted Ah Chun's shoulder. But Niangniang, if you don't eat, Ah Chun is really relieved. Ah Chun looked at Chen Hao'er's dark circles worriedly. Chen Hao'er pinched Ah Chun's nose, "Little girl, when I was in the house, my mother ignored me, but it was you who managed all the way to this palace wall." Ah Chun smiled embarrassedly, "Niangniang, as long as I can be with you, Ah Chun will be happy." But Niangniang didn't eat, Ah Chun really couldn't help but be in a hurry. ”
Chen Hao'er didn't speak, just looked at Ah Chun, and gradually showed a smile. "Ah Chun, you are so good. Let's go, I'm hungry, let's go get something to eat. ”
Settle in the cloth workshop.
Zhao Xuechi and Li Shaowei sat in the backyard drinking tea. "Are you really going to do this with Yu Nian?" Zhao Xuechi looked at Li Shaowei and asked. "Xuechi, I have no choice, I don't have a choice." Li Shaowei shook his head and smiled at Zhao Xuechi. "But now that you are his only friend, when Hao'er enters the palace, he has really become a person." Zhao Xuechi pondered. "Xuechi, do you know, many things, many, many things, are destined for me to not be friends with Yu Nian and Chen Hao'er." Li Shaowei picked up the tea bowl. "I know for the rest of the year, but what's the matter with Chen Hao'er?" "The things of the rest of the year are not as simple as you think," Li Shaowei paused and looked at Zhao Xuechi, "Xuechi, I... Can you be trusted? Zhao Xuechi looked at Li Shaowei, who was hesitant, in disbelief, "Brother Shaowei, what are you talking about?" Li Shaowei hurriedly explained, "Xuechi, I don't doubt you. Zhao Xuechi stood up, put down the tea bowl in his hand, and was about to turn around and leave, Li Shaowei hurriedly stood up and grabbed her.
"Xuechi, you have to understand me, I have never trusted anyone except you until now." Li Shaowei whispered, "My experience makes it hard for me to believe in a person, I'm sorry, Xuechi." But I don't doubt you. Zhao Xuechi shook off Li Shaowei's hand, "Then what do you mean?" If you doubt me, don't tell me this. I didn't ask to hear it. ”
"Xuechi, you sit down first, and I'll talk to you slowly." Li Shaowei pulled Zhao Xuechi back to his seat. "Xuechi, you also know that I have been helping the emperor do things, so it is inevitable that I will know more." Zhao Xuechi sneered, "Don't play a pretense with me." I'm not interested in the rest of the year, but what is about Chen Hao'er, if you want to say it, you can say it. Li Shaowei was silent for a moment, and asked rhetorically, "Do you really take Chen Hao'er as a friend?" Zhao Xuechi clenched the tea bowl, "If you talk nonsense again, I'll leave." Li Shaowei sighed, "It's okay to tell you, but don't let Chen Hao'er know, okay?" "You can talk about it first."
Li Shaowei closed his eyes and pursed his lips, and said, "Actually, this has nothing to do with me, I just happened to hear it." "What the hell is going on?" Zhao Xuechi interrupted impatiently. "Xuechi, don't be in a hurry. Listen to me. ”
"One day, I went to the palace as usual to see the prince and report on the current situation for the rest of the year.
But as he was about to enter the temple, he heard that someone was inside, so he waited at the door. But I heard His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at that time talking to someone... Something about General Chen Huyan. Zhao Xuechi sat up straight, "General? Li Shaowei nodded, "It seems that it is related to the death of General Chen Huyan......" "What do you mean?" Zhao Xuechi gasped. Their voices were so small that I didn't hear them clearly, but according to the time of the military report, when I heard them talking, General Chen Huyan was still unconscious and not dead. Zhao Xuechi's hand gradually trembled, "You mean, it was the crown prince at that time, that is, the current emperor who murdered the general?" Li Shaowei immediately stretched out his hand to cover Zhao Xuechi's mouth, "Xuechi, don't talk nonsense." Zhao Xuechi broke Li Shaowei's hand and asked excitedly, "That's the case, right?" Li Shaowei paused and said slowly, "I don't know what they are talking about, maybe they are just saying that General Chen's life may not be saved." Zhao Xuechi shook his head, "Li Shaowei, what are you hiding?" Li Shaowei's face did not change, "Why should I lie to you?" Zhao Xuechi stood up, stopped talking, and just left directly. This time, Li Shaowei didn't chase it.
Zhao Xuechi walked to the bottom of the corridor, turned around, and sneered at Li Shaowei, "I'll find out by myself, Lord Shilang." ”
Imperial Palace.
Du Zhenhe reported the military situation to the minister, and sat beside him for more than a year.
"Your Majesty, the Liang army is constantly harassing the people on the border, which is really hateful. Please ask the emperor to send troops to Liang State. An old minister said. Du Zhenhe was silent, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Can you go and verify?" How to harass? The old minister slowly got up and bowed to the ground, "Your Majesty, Liang Jun's crime is unforgivable, and he provokes in every way." After a while, he burned, killed and looted the people on the border, and did not hide his identity, because he wanted to provoke a war. Du Zhenhe glanced at Yu Nian and said, "Taishi gets up first, sit down and talk." The old minister stood up tremblingly with the support of the people around him, saluted, and sat back in his seat. Your Majesty, what Taishi Qi said is true, and the ministers have also heard it, and Liang Jun is really hateful. But there are really not many generals available in the army, if the previous general Fuyuan is still there..."A middle-aged minister also spoke. "Aiqing has lost his words, and now there is no General Fuyuan." Du Zhenhe interrupted coldly.
The middle-aged minister hurriedly kowtowed and apologized, "The minister lost his words." Du Zhenhe didn't say anything, just looked at Yu Nian in silence. After a while, Yu Nian sighed and said, "Lord Wang was also in a hurry to lose his words, and I ask the emperor to forgive him." Du Zhenhe didn't look at the people kneeling underground, but just nodded slightly, "What Prime Minister Yu said is very true. The king trembled and thanked him, got up and sat down, and said no more.
"With such a big Du country, no one can lead troops to fight?" There was a hint of anger in Du Zhenhe's voice. Yu Nian walked out and said, "Your Majesty, after the defeat of the Liang Kingdom, there was a Zhao general who also contributed a lot, named Zhao Xuechi, maybe he could become a candidate, and he once followed the general of Zhenguo." Du Zhenhe nodded, "I've heard of this person." Anyone else? A voice came out at the end, "Your Majesty, General Bu also had a previous relationship with General Zhenguo, and he also participated in the last battle. Du Zhenhe narrowed his eyes, "Which Bu general?" At the end, the voice came, "Back to the emperor, the name of the general of the Bu Department is called Blaike, and the person gives him a nickname, the black-faced general." Du Zhenhe pondered, "Blackface general? I've heard of it. He looked at Yu Nian, "What does the prime minister think?" Yu Nian saluted, "Liang is indeed hateful, and it has been the most stubborn enemy of my Du country for many years, but in fact, although Liang is rich, it is far from being compared with Du country, and the location is even worse, and there are only three cities. If we want to fight, we can do it, but the Liang army is cunning, and we must also be fully prepared and not underestimate the enemy. ”
Qifeng Palace.
"What??? Liang Guo is doing things again??? Chen Feng'er was practicing swords in the courtyard, and heard Ah Chun talking about the rumors he heard from the palace today, "Haven't you been beaten enough by me last time?" Still coming? Want to Zhuge repeater? ”
Ah Chun shook his head, "I don't know, I also listened to the palace people in the palace." ”
Chen Hao'er stopped the sword in her hand, approached Ah Chun, and whispered, "Did you say who will fight?" Ah Chun shook his head, "I don't know about this." ”
Chen Hao'er pouted, "You should let me go." ”
