Chapter 64: You Believe in Me
"Not like that?" Emperor Chengwen was interested and asked her, "Why?" ”
"The crown prince is indecisive, and the third prince has a free and easy temperament. Neither of them looks like His Majesty. Chao Ling raised his eyes and looked directly at Emperor Chengwen.
"And what kind of person do you think I am?"
Chaoling's black pupils reflected the dim reflection of Emperor Chengwen, and from the majestic throne, she saw a soul that was about to run out of energy, "The last general can't see it."
"If you can't see it, how can it not be?"
"Because Your Majesty is pressed down by this dragon chair." Chao Ling's fingertips pressed against the marble floor of the Heart Cultivation Temple, and she lowered her eyes to see the reflection reflected in the smoothness.
Emperor Chengwen clenched his fists silently, and he stared at Chaoling fiercely, "The crown prince and Linchuan are not like me, but I see that you are very similar to me." The prince once asked me to give you a grace, and I gave you this grace, and I decreed that you should be named the lord of Wen'an, okay? ”
Chaoling could understand Emperor Chengwen's voice, and there was still half a sentence after sealing the Lord of Anjun, and he married Linghe Chixuan, the prince of Mobei.
Even if Chao Ling stopped the scroll, Ling He Chi Xuan still asked Emperor Chengwen for marriage and kiss in various ways, even if he couldn't exchange Su Jiuli's status for grain and grass, but he could get a life talisman for his way back to the city.
This kind princess is his life talisman.
It's just that this princess can't be her.
"The last general is unwilling." Bowing to Chao Ling, she tried her best to calm her emotions, and her voice was extremely low in her throat, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has asked for grace for the last general, not the imprisonment of relatives." The border guards and Mobei are feuding, and they are even more incompatible with my Lin family. Your Majesty wants me to be with my relatives, does he want me to go into the enemy camp alone and take the head of the king of Mobei? ”
"Mo Yuzhen mentions the Lin family again." Emperor Chengwen leaned back in his chair and condescendedly, "Lin Wanqi, do you want to resist the decree?" Aren't you afraid that I will kill you? ”
"Your Majesty can kill me, but you can't let the world know that you killed me, not only that, but you have to bypass Dali Temple and Yushitai, because you know that once you go to the trial of the three divisions, I will say something that should not be said."
Chao Ling raised his head and pulled the distance between the two back to eye level. "Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that I will rebel?"
Emperor Chengwen was obviously stunned, he re-examined the woman in front of him, she smiled lightly, as if she was saying a joke, but it was really rooted in Emperor Chengwen's heart.
Lin Qingping won't, but she will. Xu Yanshu didn't dare, but she dared.
How can the loyal monarch be worthy of his comrades.
What a shame and shame it is to marry an enemy. "Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that I will rebel?"
"Hahahaha." Emperor Chengwen didn't want to be defeated in front of these little girls after being on this throne for more than 20 years, he smiled, and the killing intent in his eyes was full of "You are a powerful one." ”
Emperor Chengwen patted Chao Ling's shoulder, the invisible oppression came from top to bottom, Chao Ling didn't seem to expect Emperor Chengwen to say this, she looked up at the old man blankly, trying to understand the meaning behind it.
"But Lin Wanqi, you are also suppressed by this armor. You dare to talk to me like this, what is the honor guard behind you? What do you dare to die for? ”
She was able to mediate here because she was the commander in chief of the border guards. And she can die alone, but because she is alone and has no worries. The Lin family has already raided the house and destroyed the door, even if it violates the holy face, it cannot be copied.
"You are really the same as Linghe Chixuan in Mobei. He just said something like that. Emperor Chengwen sat back on the throne, "It's a pity that he can't afford the grain and grass he wants, what you want, maybe it's okay." ”
If Chaoling did not comply, he issued an order to cut off the grain and grass of the border guards. He couldn't kill Chaoling, but it was still easy to find a reason to cut the grain and grass of the border guards.
"Your Majesty is gambling on his own country?" Chao Ling said coldly.
If Mobei can't get food, it will inevitably loot the surrounding villages, and at this time, the border guards will not be hungry, how to fight the hungry wolves.
Emperor Chengwen did not answer.
The border guards who have no food and grass, let alone rebellion, or advance into the imperial city are all problems.
"I've already said what I need to say." Emperor Chengwen leaned back in his chair and waited for Chao Ling to return.
The glimmer of light leaking from the window on the side of the main hall fell on Chaoling's body, illuminating the dust falling from her eyelashes clearly. She pressed the bluestone brick, her hands trembling a little, "Thank you, Your Majesty, Longen." ”
***
The road from the Heart Cultivation Hall to the palace gate was very long, and Chao Ling stepped on the snow without saying a word, and his shoes and socks were soaked and he didn't know it.
The border guards are located on the border line of Mobei, the land is vast and sparsely populated, not suitable for planting crops, and all the grain and grass rely on the supply of Beijing, which is why Emperor Chengwen can ignore the words of the army and insist on raiding the Lin family.
Because he knew very well that the grain and grass of the border guards could only trap this army on the border line.
Chao Ling craned his neck and walked out, the mortal winter is so cold.
The carriage was still parked where she had come, as if she hadn't had gone through that bad conversation.
In the car, Jiuli's hand was on the eaves of the window, and he gently tapped it into a tune. Feeling Chao Ling approaching, his voice slowed down.
"Chao Chao looks like he's in a bad mood." Jiuli smiled, "It's cold, get in the car." ”
Chaoling stood under the car, expressionless, and stuffed his outstretched hand back into the car.
Jiuli gradually stiffened in such a serious atmosphere, "What's wrong?" ”
Chao Ling suddenly turned over and got on the horse, grabbed the reins with both arms, and the horse's front hooves galloped towards the door.
She didn't believe in such threats, she wasn't the one in this life, and she couldn't threaten her.
The cold wind blew like a sharp blade across her face, and she kept her eyes on the road ahead, a thought that would break through the ground with a little watering once it took root.
She wanted to inform Xu Yanshu that she could send a secret message back to the border guards and dispatch all the troops she could use to the capital at full speed.
Rebellion, she is going to rebel now.
"Chaochao." The occupants of the car whispered her name. "What's wrong with you?"
Jiuli suspected that he had guessed wrong, the emperor kept Chaoling's life in order to let Mobei and the border guards contain each other, he miscalculated, in the eyes of Emperor Chengwen, the border guards and Su Jiuli were both courtiers, and it made no sense to use Su Jiuli to tie Lin Wanqi to the capital.
The emperor wanted her to make peace with Ling He Chi Xuan. After they wear each other down, they will all switch to Emperor Chengwen's camp.
Jiuli rubbed his temples and sighed secretly that one day, he would also become an outcast in the book of fate.
"Chaochao. You take it easy. Jiuli leaned out of the carriage, Chao Ling's back was resolute, and he could clearly touch the distance with one palm, but Jiuli didn't dare to step forward.
There seems to be something that is detached from the original destiny setting and drifting away from him.
The carriage galloped all the way to the front of the post house before it stopped, and Chao Ling turned over and dismounted, but was hugged by Jiuli in mid-air, and the familiar cold breath made her heart settle.
Jiu Li's palm covered her eyes, blocking the uncontrollable panic.
"I'm fine, I just can't stand it." Chao Ling in turn gently held Jiu Li's hand, "Jiu Li, let me down." ”
What is a monarch? Do your best like the Lord of Fengdu, or kill decisively like the Great Si Ming Jiuli.
She was so disappointed in the dark and obscure world.
"You're tired." Jiuli stubbornly held her in his arms, "It's good to get some sleep, everything will be fine when you wake up." ”
"You guessed it?" Chao Ling's voice was very soft, as if she was afraid of alarming herself, and she waited for Su Jiuli's words.
At this moment, she didn't know whether she should wait for an answer as Lin Wanqi or Chaoling.
Since Mobei came back, she has faced Chaoling's subjectivity too much, so much so that she will forget that she is just a tool person who succeeds Lin Wanqi and continues to follow the plot.
"It's not time yet, Chaochao. You wait for me. Jiuli's voice gradually weakened, and the person in his arms gradually became heavy, until he couldn't hold it, "You believe me." ”
[Believe me, if you rebel now, you will never have a chance to avenge the Lin family, and the scars in your soul will never be erased again. 】
Jiu Li didn't know how to express it tactfully, he wanted to ask her if she still remembered Lin Wanqi's will? Rehabilitate the Lin family.
Concealment and hesitation have been replaced by the seemingly incompetent You believe me.
Chao Ling pressed back the disappointment in his heart, laughing at himself for just reading too much of the book, and thought that this kind of desperate hero saving beauty would befall him.
The words that Jiu Li said on weekdays were crushed by this letter and turned into fragments all over the ground, piercing Chaoling's eyes.
She forced herself to calm down, imagine what they would do if it was Lin Qingping or Lin Wanqi?
Looking at the cause and effect of the book of fate, there is only one way out of rebellion. But the rebellion still requires Su Jiuli's cooperation, and the current situation is not enough to make Su Jiuli at the end of his rope. Or, Chaoling is not enough to impress her, so can it only be Chu Wenbing who can really make him rebel?
Chaoling soon waited for an opportunity.
The emperor decreed that Lin Wanqi would be named the lord of Wen'an, and the main hall was held on this day. And the one who was ordered to take charge of the division was Zhang Zhaoran, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites.
The process of dividing the county lord of Wen'an is not cumbersome, and you can even find the exact same template. Once upon a time, Nie Sheng, a famous general from all over the world under the Zhenguo Gongmen, was handed over to the military power, and his daughter was named the lord of Pingning, which was the same process.
These are applied to Chaoling without major changes, and you can basically follow this process again.
She didn't care what clothes she had to wear in the hall, how much incense she toasted, and how much process she had to take. The only problem she cares about now is that the teacher is unknown, is it just to refuse to make peace?
Sometimes she thinks that maybe Jiuli is right, she should calm down and wait.
"Will ...... Army, your ...... Invitation card...... The son has arrived. "A twelve- or thirteen-year-old boy poked his head out of the door, and he stood crampedly in ill-fitting armor.
Chaoling returned to his senses, there were many half-grown children in the army, most of them were children of military families, but not many entered the imperial city. She remembered that this child's name was He Zhuocheng, a survivor of Pingning Pass, too young and a little stuttering, Xu Yanshu was afraid of being bullied by other children in the barracks, so he kept it by his side.
"Come in."
He Zhuocheng walked the door, put down the post and was about to run. was grabbed by the back of the neck by Chaoling, "Why are you in such a hurry?" ”
"That'...... Also.. Didn't go. He Zhuocheng stirred his hands.
Chao Ling took the time to empty the post on this table, and some wanted to laugh. It is the queen's post that invites women from all walks of life to pray for blessings in Lingming Mountain.
It is said to pray for blessings, but it is to worship gods.
Chao Ling fantasized that he knelt in front of the statue and said that he had something to ask, and he didn't know if those immortals in the heavenly realm dared to respond when they heard it.
Who would have thought that a true immortal would be mixed into the immortal worship team.
She carefully looked at the roster, and since she was going to pray for blessings, she naturally had to prepare something. Just as she was thinking about it, He Zhuocheng suddenly squatted on the ground with his head in his hands.
