Yi'er came to the Li Mansion with the jewelry box. Wan Ning was sitting in the gazebo feeling the first rays of morning light and breathing in the fresh morning air.

"The young master instructed the little one to return these to you." Yi'er opened the box and placed it on the stone table.

Wan Ning glanced at it and ordered, "Yan'er, take it back to the room." ”

"Yes."

"Miss, are you happy this time?" Before Wanning could answer, Yi'er said again, "Young Master, he may not take care of Zhuyun anymore." ”

Wan Ning pretended to ask, "Why?" ”

"And ask, 'Why'! The two of them have fallen out, and the most important thing is that you don't like it. And the little one felt that the young master was not so interested in that Zhuyun, and said that he was just a whim, and you still didn't believe me. Believe it this time, right? Once the novelty wears off, he will still come back to you. ”

"Speak for your master." Wan Ning patted the stone bench beside her, "Yi'er look at you, you've been standing for a long time, come and sit." ”

"How dare the little one be on an equal footing with the master?" With that, he took a low stool and sat down. Seeing that Wan Ning was busy doing needlework, the flat in front of her was only a large piece of cloth, which seemed to be just the beginning. I couldn't tell what I was doing, but I knew that it must have been made for the young master. He asked, "What does the young lady do?" ”

"Embroider a pillowcase for my brother, his pillowcase has been used for a long time, and it is time to get a new one." Wan Ning replied.

"Pillowcases are best made in pairs. By the way, the young lady should make some dowries for herself. ”

Unintentional words provoked Wan Ning's sadness, she remembered that when she married her brother Ang, she prepared so carefully, but she didn't get married. The mood became low and did not say a word.

Yi'er thought that she was still unhappy about Zhuyun's affairs, so she said: "Zhuyun is just a scenery that he encounters while walking on the road, you are his destination, and you are the woman who can support his whole life." Miss, you have to believe in Yi'er. ”

Wan Ning calmed down and said, "He seems to have said the same thing. ”

"Really?"

"But Yi'er, do you think I'm satisfied with saying that?" Wan Ning was visibly excited.

Yi'er understood. People wander in the world of flowers, there will always be temptations of one kind or another, and it is understandable that they can't resist the temptation. There are too many temptations in this world, and when you see what you like, you will always want to take it for yourself. ”

"Your young master wants to keep it for himself? If he wants to keep it for himself, then it's better to keep it for himself, so why bother me? ”

"He won't, because of you. Young master, he grew up in a wealthy family since he was a child, and he opened his mouth for food, stretched out his hands for clothes, and lacked nothing. In addition to fame and fortune, there are only women left. In fact, the young master is quite single-minded, but occasionally he can't resist the temptation. For the past, say this, the small one just wants to open your mind. ”

"It's obvious that he made a mistake, but you came to persuade me!"

"Miss, I'm not trying to persuade you. We can all see that Miss, you are uneasy because of some mistakes in the young master's past. I hope that Miss you and the young master are doing well. ”

After a while, Yi'er got up and said, "Miss Wanning, Yi'er should go back, if you delay for a long time, the young master is afraid that he will be blamed." ”

"Okay, be careful on the road."

Yi'er took a few steps, turned his head and said, "Little by the way, you are really Yi'er's patron saint, every time you are lifted out, the young master has no temper at all." ”

By the time Wan Ning reacted and looked up at Yi'er, he had already walked far away.

When Yi'er returned to the house, he was about to go out just in time for the young master, and when he asked what was going on, it turned out that the emperor urgently summoned the young master into the palace.

Gao Ziang hurried to the palace and went straight to the Manna Palace. He saw that the emperor at this time seemed to be thinking deeply. "Wechen knocks to see the emperor."

He kept saluting, but he was not called to his feet. After a long time, the emperor finally glanced at him with his eyes: "General Gao! The Northwest Frontier is in an emergency! Enemy forces are invading the border. ”

Gao Ziang simply knelt down: "Please also ask the emperor to make it clear." ”

The emperor showed him the military emergency.

Gao Ziang was very worried in his heart: "So the emperor wants Weichen to go on the expedition?" ”

"I like a clever courtier like you."

Gao Ziang once delusionally wanted to lead his troops to fight and be a real general. His father also had high hopes that he would be able to control a certain amount of military power. But after all, there is no room for ambiguity in war.

"Your Majesty, you have given an order, and Weichen should serve as a dog and horse, and he has no regrets in life and death. But my Datang is full of talents, and in this campaign, there are many veteran generals in the army who have fought for many years. Weichen is young and immature, and he has become the commander of the battle, and he may not be able to suppress public opinion. If the whole army is not able to work together, it will only be detrimental to the war. The generals are not in harmony, how can this battle be won? ”

"I still have some insight when I can think of this layer." The emperor said, "I'm afraid that they won't accept it, right?" You've got a solution! ”

The Emperor removed the sword hanging from the wall, a sword with a sparkling gem in its scabbard.

He lay on his back on his seat and said, "You are trying your best to win Li Wanning as a righteous daughter and make her the lord of the county, not for the glory of royal power. I just want to completely cut off the possibility of me and her from the identity. If I agree to make her the lord of the county, then she will be equal to my daughter. Don't worry, I won't let her kiss. You are willing, I am still reluctant! ”

Hearing this, Gao Ziang was in a trance for a moment: "Your Majesty, don't!" At this time, it is the time to show the prestige of my Tang Dynasty. Harmony is the meaning of seeking peace, and seeking peace is begging, but it is just beautiful. ”

The emperor stroked the sword back and forth in his hand, it was like a spring of autumn water, and the edge was pressing: "That maybe!" Huairou policy. Salute first and then soldier, only to show the majesty of the prosperous world. A woman can be pacified, so why use thousands of troops? After a moment, the Emperor turned his face to look at him, "Hey, what's the matter?" Is it really just about falling in love, and it doesn't matter if it's in prison? ”

Gao Ziang has heard of this military situation. The courtiers were fighting and arguing. Since the emperor summoned him, he must be the main battle. He has been through a hundred battles, and he will definitely not fail to see the situation. Whether to fight or peace, he has already made up his mind. The emperor's policy of softness is not a joke. The geographical location of the northwestern frontier is extremely important, and if it is not handled well with the invading enemy, it will block the main communication routes for trade. Either envelop or resist. If there is a war, it can only be won.

The emperor also mentioned his father in prison, and only by making meritorious contributions can the Gao family have a reason to be pardoned.

He knew very well that He Wanning's future and whether the Gao family could get away with it were all pinned on him. For now, it's all about obeying orders.

Gao Zi bowed his head and said: "Weichen is eager to make contributions all the time. The emperor has an order, and the ministers should obey it. Wechen took the order. ”

"Let's go back and prepare, and we'll leave in five days."
