The crown prince also came, but this could not resist their desire to climb to Rong Laihou. That's a hot little marquis! He is in charge of the army, and he is favored by the saints, and he is still a daughter, if he can marry home......

Yun Zhao saw through their minds, if it was before, she would probably just overturn the wine glass and leave. And now he can sit here comfortably and make peace with them.

In the two years of cooking in Shuozhou, she vaguely understood that the road she was going to take in the future could not escape these entertainments.

Most of the guests who come and go to toast are just one side. Wang Yanshu introduced them one by one by her side, and after a glass of wine, Yun Zhao got to know a lot of people.

They had all been far away from her, far away from the Hou Mansion. Their father's death was their talking point, and she was just a helpless star who killed her parents.

Now they are so enthusiastic that they seem to have watched her grow up, and one after another high-ranking officials and important ministers told Yun Zhao not to call him an adult, but to call him uncle.

Later, the prince blocked the wine for her, and no one dared to come forward again.

The prince lowered his head close to her, looked at her cheeks slightly red and her eyes like waves, and muttered, "Why do you drink so much wine?" When did they make you drink and you drink, when did you become so obedient? ”

Yun Zhao glanced at him, lowered his head and smiled, and said thoughtlessly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, we can't go back to the past." ”

The prince was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and looked at the lively scene, the ministers in gorgeous brocade robes in front of him were red from drinking, but their eyes were still secretly looking at this side.

He said lightly: "You are drunk. ”

Yun Zhao shook his head. The best practice in the army is the amount of alcohol.

"Although you don't want to admit it, you are not the Ah Yan of the past."

How could the person sitting in the East Palace still be the one who jumped up and down with her?

Yun Zhao held his face, and his watery eyes looked at Ji Xingyan's side face. He grew up and matured. The edges and corners of his jaw are more distinct, adding a bit of coldness and hardness to him.

She never asked him how he ascended to the crown prince in such a short period of time, how many tricks there were, and how many lives were involved, she didn't want to ask.

Maybe since the fourth prince went to Shuozhou to control the flood, or even earlier, he has already begun to plan.

In the young days when she thought he was innocent, how much truth he had, to this day, Yun Zhao is unwilling to explore.

Ah Yan was her only best friend when she was young, and she was willing to keep Ah Yan in her memories.

"Zhao." The prince turned his head and looked at her watery eyes, his voice seemed ethereal but firm in the sound of silk and bamboo, "No matter what, between you and me, there is no difference between you and me. I am still Ah Yan, and you are still Ah Zhao. ”

Then he got up and left. In the call to send him off, Yun Zhao gradually couldn't see his back clearly.

After the banquet was over, Yun Zhao was still drunk and lay on the bed with a splitting headache. Wang Yanshu wiped her face with a cloth towel soaked in warm water, and she looked up at his face, which was her familiar face, and even the pity in her eyes was as good as ever.

She suddenly hugged his waist and buried her head in his arms with affection.

Where no one is, she chooses to be presumptuous.

Yun Zhao wept silently in his husband's arms.

One of his hearts was ravaged, and the sorrow was infinite.

After the opening banquet, Yun Zhao went to the palace to thank the emperor and bid him farewell.

The next day, she left Beijing to patrol the camp in Lizhou. Stepping on the tail of July, it should not be possible to return to Chinese New Year's Eve.

There are not many people accompanying them along the way, and they are not in a hurry, so they have the right to enjoy the mountains and rivers.

They rested at the tea shop, and Wang Yanshu asked, "Gan Qing won't go back to the camp with you?" ”

Yun Zhao poured him tea.

"The day before yesterday, General Gan sent me a letter, and I wrote a reply letter for Gan Qing to send, just so that he could visit the old general."

Yun Zhao lowered his head and took a sip of tea: "It's still the Biluochun brought by Mr. is delicious." ”

Wang Yanshu smiled and didn't speak.

Outside the tea shop, a husband and wife, with a pair of children, walked over with a smile. Yun Zhao's gaze followed them far away.

The lady stooped down to pick her daughter up and rubbed her nose affectionately. The son was noisy and wanted to hug him, so Lang Jun carried the child on his shoulder. Ordinary and warm back.

"Zhao'er."

Wang Yanshu's voice called her back. Yun Zhao subconsciously lowered his head, hiding the envy in his eyes.

"Do you blame your father?"

Yun Zhao shook her head, she saw her husband's cautious look and smiled. "Not to blame." She paused, "But I'm still envious." The resentment and misery in my heart in the past ten years cannot be completely erased by one truth. More than 3,000 days and nights are real and difficult. ”

She chuckled, a little self-deprecating: "I no longer resentful and blamed, I have done my best." ”

Wang Yanshu felt very sorry for her. I don't know when Zhao'er rarely showed such a weak and sad look, just like she rarely stepped into the ancestral hall again. She was as strong as an iron plate, carefully putting away her longings and dissatisfactions.

"Sir, I'm disappointing you, haven't I?"

Wang Yanshu shook his head solemnly: "I like your honesty. If you are not worthy of your heart, you are worthy of others. ”

Yun Zhao laughed. Look at his face. The gentleman's face was not as young as she remembered. Ten years was so long and lonely for him.

"Sir, won't you take a wife?" Her hands were holding the teacup, her fingers folded, and her fingertips trembled involuntarily. She lowered her head and stared at the pale yellow tea soup in the cup.

Wang Yanshu was silent for a long time. He stared at the top of the girl in front of him, not knowing what to say. During his years in the Hou Mansion, he didn't even think about marrying a wife and having children. There were too many things in the Hou Mansion to distract him, and teaching to take care of Yun Zhao was more important than everything.

And now...... The weed-like crazy feelings have filled the mountains in his heart, and there is no longer an inch left for others.

"I didn't think about it." He said honestly.

Yun Zhao tugged at the corners of his mouth and loosened the cup.

She was both joyful and shrunken. Rejoice that he has no one else in his heart, trembling with his restlessness, and feeling guilty for implicating him for half his life.

Yun Zhao stood up, still bowing his head: "Sir, it's time for us to leave." ”

When they arrived at the camp in Lizhou, they walked for a month, and the weather had turned colder.

The early morning sunlight shines through the floating clouds, revealing the distant mountains. The black-tiled houses were sprinkled with a layer of gold by the morning sun, and they played hide-and-seek playfully against the morning fog.

Yun Zhao got up early in the morning, practiced a sword in the courtyard, and warmed up all over his body, dispelling the cold air of the early morning. A thin layer of sweat covered her forehead, like the dew of a flower.

Wang Yanshu stood at the corner of the corridor on the left and looked at her from afar, half of his body hidden in the shadows of the wall.

"Master Hou, the fifth brother has a letter." Thirteen ran over, a letter in his hand.

Yun Zhao threw the sword to him, took the letter in his hand, and unfolded it to read it. She smiled, hearty and cheerful: "Great, the fifth uncle never let me down." ”

Thirteen blinked, he still felt that it was outrageous that he was called Fifth Brother and Hou Ye was called Fifth Uncle, but he was about the same age.

"Thirteen, reply to the fifth uncle, be sure to safely escort the seventh prince back to the court, and act in secret."

"Yes."

Wang Yanshu looked at her clean smile, and her beautiful face was pure and bright. How could he bother with such a cleanliness. This is the girl he holds in the palm of his hand like a jewel, and it is the girl he is willing to give up everything.

He turned around to leave, and Yun Zhao caught a glimpse of him: "Sir! ”

She ran over happily: "Why did you get up so early, sir?" ”

"Hmm." He answered, "What is so pleased?" ”

Yun Zhao smiled: "Sir, I can't tell you this. ”

Wang Yanshu nodded, didn't ask much, and raised his feet to leave. Yun Zhao stopped in front of him, stretched out his arms, and looked up at his face.

"Sir, upset?"

He took a deep breath and laughed: "Xu didn't sleep well last night and didn't have much energy. ”

"I'm going to the barracks in a moment. However, Mr. will be in time to set off again in the afternoon, and he can sleep again. ”

Wang Yanshu looked at her smiling face, his big eyes flashing with shrewd calculation. He understood her thoughts and smiled.

The Lizhou military camp of more than 30,000 people was stationed in the southern suburbs of Yuanshan City, an important town in the southwest of Lizhou. They set out from the distant mountain city, rode their horses, and arrived at the gate of the barracks in less than half an hour.

The letter sent by Yun Zhao was a day late. Today's surprise attack is to see how the Lizhou battalion governs the army on weekdays.

She came alone, leaving Mr. and the others an hour late.

Yun Zhao was wearing a dark blue tunic with an ordinary cowhide belt around his waist, which was crude and simple. She tied her long hair in a crown, put it on a mustache, and drew thick eyebrows. It's a bit like a small man.

She appeared at the gate of the barracks and was immediately stopped: "What a person! The barracks are important, leave quickly. ”

Yun Zhao turned over and dismounted, and smiled flatteringly at them: "I'm here to join the army." ”

The two soldiers glanced at each other, looked her up and down again, and sneered: "You little body, eat a few more bowls of rice and come back." ”

"Master Jun, don't look at my small size, I have the strength. I do all the work of carrying water and chopping wood at home. She had such a smiling face, and she looked very honest.

Yun Zhao was led to the place where he registered for registration, and there were already a lot of people lined up early in the morning. She patted the tall man in front of her and asked, "Big brother, come so early." ”

The eldest brother looked back at her and looked down on her. She still smiled: "Big brother, is there so many people in the conscription office every day?" ”

"You're not a local, are you?"

Yun Zhao scratched his head: "I'm from Huaxian." ”

The eldest brother looked like I knew it, closed his eyes on his chest, looked at Yun Zhao and said, "Our General Lu, that is a big hero, in the big battle with Wu three years ago, that was General Lu to turn the tide." Conscription is only half a month a year, and it is naturally full of people every day. Who doesn't want to earn a name for themselves under General Lu. ”

Lu Han's name Yun Zhao has long been heard in Handan, and there are many people who talk about him in the army in Shuozhou.

A young general who was born in Jiangmen, he went to the battlefield at the age of 15 and fought in the south and north for 20 years, with great achievements. But because he was too upright, he was removed from General Zhennan and sent to Lizhou as a small commander, and three years later he became the commander of the Lizhou battalion.

It can be seen that this person is indeed an expert in marching and fighting.

Yun Zhao laughed, and the eldest brother whispered again: "But I heard that Lizhou is going to have a new commander, a stinky female doll, who will be a general by virtue of her title." Can a woman go into battle to kill the enemy? ”

Yun Zhao glanced at him, and his tone was hard and straight: "Rong Laihou went to the battlefield and made great military achievements in the first battle of Shuozhou. ”

The eldest brother sneered: "Do you believe this?" ”

Yun Zhao didn't want to pay attention to him.
